2020-04-05Multiprocess build changesRussell Yanofsky
autotools and automake changes to support multiprocess execution. This adds a new --enable-multiprocess flag, and build configuration code to detect libraries needed for multiprocess support. The --enable-multiprocess flag builds new bitcoin-node and bitcoin-gui executables, which are updated in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10102 to communicate across processes. But for now they are functionally equivalent to existing bitcoind and bitcoin-qt executables.

c1e07423083cd2a7e3f2b28f69a573ea1837af4d doc: Warn about wallet.dat re-use and backups (Albert) Pull request description: Following discussion in #18205, this PR adds a warning against re-use of the same wallet file on two different nodes, as that can cause problems due to race conditions between nodes (eg: both nodes using the same addresses at the same time for different things because they are not aware of the other node). I've also included the rationale behind the warning but I've kept it short to make it clearer to users, not sure if I should have written a longer explanation instead. Also, while this PR may help some users avoid problems, the changes are largely inconsequential, so feel free to close it if it's not worth the effort. On an unrelated note, I've also set up [this site](https://corollari.github.io/bitcoin-core-docs/), which periodically pulls bitcoin core and turns its docs into a webpage. Browsing the docs can also be done locally or on github, so this doesn't add much value, but I personally find that more comfortable and it makes them more searchable. Top commit has no ACKs.

Person A gives their address to person B, their wallet wallet creates a PSBT, but doesn't sign it. Wallet A then calls `walletprocesspsbt` which signs it and _spontaneously adds the master_fingerprint and bip32 path_. Same issue with `walletcreatefundedpsbt`. > > Adding `bip32_derivs` should probably be opt-in. In practice I find this default quite annoying because I forget it and end up with a confused hardware wallet. More importantly, in the multisig example I provided, it's actually essential for the other side to know the derivation details (in addition to an xpub). This allows them to check that change is going to an address you can still co-sign for (because the spending policy is unchanged except for an index).

ACKs for top commit: fanquake: ACK 63ce882760e1ceb4114c716851aedaf911ebb93b - a link to the troubleshooting page seems fine. I wouldn't really want our README to have anything more specific than that.

7f1475c7119e8c72bce39a63386a6ca859066b80 rpc: update validateaddress RPCExamples to bech32 (Sebastian Falbesoner) Pull request description: Another small step to get rid of legacy addresses in the RPC help texts and by that encourage the use of bech32 addresses by default. The (invalid) address is the same as in the `getaddressinfo` RPC (see 2ee0cb3330ccf70f0540cb42370796e32eff1569, kudos to jonatack!), I don't think it adds any value to have a different example address per RPC.
