2021-03-03doc: install qt5 when building on macOSfanquake
Brew has updated such that qt now refers to Qt 6.0.1. If builders install this, configure will not work pick up qt. For now, install qt@5 (5.15.2), until required build system and likely source changes are made.

2021-03-02doc: Update build instructions for FedoraHennadii Stepanov
Fedora 33 requires adding the Cheese third-party repo to install libdb4-devel and libdb4-cxx-devel packages.
2021-03-01init: introduce I2P connectivity optionsVasil Dimov
Introduce two new options to reach the I2P network: * `-i2psam=<ip:port>` point to the I2P SAM proxy. If this is set then the I2P network is considered reachable and we can make outgoing connections to I2P peers via that proxy. We listen for and accept incoming connections from I2P peers if the below is set in addition to `-i2psam=<ip:port>` * `-i2pacceptincoming` if this is set together with `-i2psam=<ip:port>` then we accept incoming I2P connections via the I2P SAM proxy.

The two exceptions to the rule are `signmessage` and `verifymessage`, which return `RPC_TYPE_ERROR` (-3) in this case instead. Oddly enough `verifymessage` returns `RPC_INVALID_ADDRESS_OR_KEY` when the _signature_ was malformed, where `RPC_TYPE_ERROR` would be more approriate. This PR fixes these inaccuracies and as well adds tests to `rpc_signmessage.py` that check the parameter validity and error codes for the related RPCs `signmessagewithprivkey`, `signmessage` and `verifymessage`. master branch: ``` $ ./bitcoin-cli signmessage invalid_addr message error code: -3 error message: Invalid address $ ./bitcoin-cli verifymessage invalid_addr dummy_sig message error code: -3 error message: Invalid address $ ./bitcoin-cli verifymessage 12c6DSiU4Rq3P4ZxziKxzrL5LmMBrzjrJX invalid_sig message error code: -5 error message: Malformed base64 encoding ``` PR branch: ``` $ ./bitcoin-cli signmessage invalid_addr message error code: -5 error message: Invalid address $ ./bitcoin-cli verifymessage invalid_addr dummy_sig message error code: -5 error message: Invalid address $ ./bitcoin-cli verifymessage 12c6DSiU4Rq3P4ZxziKxzrL5LmMBrzjrJX invalid_sig message error code: -3 error message: Malformed base64 encoding ``` ACKs for top commit: laanwj: Code review ACK a5cfb40e27bd281354bd0d14d91f83efb6bfce9f meshcollider: utACK a5cfb40e27bd281354bd0d14d91f83efb6bfce9f Tree-SHA512: bae0c4595a2603cea66090f6033785601837b45fd853052312b3a39d8520566c581994b68f693dd247c22586c638c3b7689c849085cce548cc36b9bf0e119d2d

This PR lets `bitcoind` call an arbitrary command `-signer=<cmd>`, e.g. a hardware wallet driver, where it can fetch public keys, ask to display an address, and sign a transaction (using PSBT under the hood). It's design to work with https://github.com/bitcoin-core/HWI, which supports multiple hardware wallets. Any command with the same arguments and return values will work. It simplifies the manual procedure described [here](https://github.com/bitcoin-core/HWI/blob/master/docs/bitcoin-core-usage.md). Usage is documented in [doc/external-signer.md]( https://github.com/Sjors/bitcoin/blob/2019/08/hww-box2/doc/external-signer.md), which also describes what protocol a different signer binary should conform to. Use `--enable-external-signer` to opt in, requires Boost::Process: ``` Options used to compile and link: with wallet = yes with gui / qt = no external signer = yes ``` It adds the following RPC methods: * `enumeratesigners`: asks <cmd> for a list of signers (e.g. devices) and their master key fingerprint * `signerdisplayaddress <address>`: asks <cmd> to display an address It enhances the following RPC methods: * `createwallet`: takes an additional `external_signer` argument and fetches keys from device * `send`: automatically sends transaction to device and waits Usage TL&DR: * clone HWI repo somewhere and launch `bitcoind -signer=../HWI/hwi.py` * check if you can see your hardware device: `bitcoin-cli enumeratesigners` * create wallet and auto import keys `bitcoin-cli createwallet "hww" true true "" true true true` * display address on device: `bitcoin-cli signerdisplayaddress ...` * to spend, use `send` RPC and approve transaction on device Prerequisites: - [x] #21127 load wallet flags before everything else - [x] #21182 remove mostly pointless BOOST_PROCESS macro Potentially useful followups: - GUI support: bitcoin-core/gui#4 - bumpfee support - (automatically) verify (a subset of) keys on the device after import, through message signing ACKs for top commit: laanwj: re-ACK f75e0c1edde39a91cc353b0102638e232def9476 Tree-SHA512: 7db8afd54762295c1424c3f01d8c587ec256a72f34bd5256e04b21832dabd5dc212be8ab975ae3b67de75259fd569a561491945750492f417111dc7b6641e77f

If you are sure you have boost installed, then check your version number looking in <boost/version.hpp>. See http://randspringer.de/boost for more documentation. ``` Instead we usually fail when one of the other AX_BOOST_* macros fails to find a library. These macros are slowly being removed, and in any case, it makes more sense to fail earlier if Boost is missing. If Boost is unavailable, the failure now looks like: ```bash checking for boostlib >= 1.58.0 (105800)... configure: We could not detect the boost libraries (version 1.58.0 or higher). If you have a staged boost library (still not installed) please specify $BOOST_ROOT in your environment and do not give a PATH to --with-boost option. If you are sure you have boost installed, then check your version number looking in <boost/version.hpp>. See http://randspringer.de/boost for more documentation. configure: error: Boost is not available! ``` Note that we now just pass the version into AX_BOOST_BASE, which fixes it's display in the output (rather than showing `MINIMUM_REQUIRED_BOOST`). This PR also has a commit that adds `libboost-dev` to our install instructions and CI. This package is currently installed as a side-effect of installing our other libboost-*-dev packages. However as those continue to disappear, it makes sense to install boost-dev explicitly.

Honggfuzz NetDriver allows for very easy fuzzing of TCP servers such as Bitcoin Core without having to write any custom fuzzing harness. The `bitcoind` server process is largely fuzzed without modification. This makes the fuzzing highly realistic: a bug reachable by the fuzzer is likely also remotely triggerable by an untrusted peer.

aa929abf8dc022e900755234c857541faeea8239 [docs] Update developer notes to discourage very long lines (John Newbery) Pull request description: Mandatory rules on line lengths are bad - there will always be cases where a longer line is more readable than the alternative. However, very long lines for no good reason _do_ hurt readability. For example, this declaration in validation.h is 274 chars: ```c++ bool ConnectTip(BlockValidationState& state, const CChainParams& chainparams, CBlockIndex* pindexNew, const std::shared_ptr<const CBlock>& pblock, ConnectTrace& connectTrace, DisconnectedBlockTransactions& disconnectpool) EXCLUSIVE_LOCKS_REQUIRED(cs_main, m_mempool.cs); ``` That won't fit on one line without wrapping on my 27" monitor with a comfortable font size. Much easier to read is something like: ```c++ bool ConnectTip(BlockValidationState& state, const CChainParams& chainparams, CBlockIndex* pindexNew, const std::shared_ptr<const CBlock>& pblock, ConnectTrace& connectTrace, DisconnectedBlockTransactions& disconnectpool) EXCLUSIVE_LOCKS_REQUIRED(cs_main, m_mempool.cs); ``` Therefore, _discourage_ (don't forbid) line lengths greater than 100 characters in our developer style guide. 100 chars is somewhat arbitrary. The old standard was 80, but that seems very limiting with modern displays.

Even though [some concerns were raised](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/16684#issuecomment-726214696) in #16684 with regard to `std::shared_mutex` being unsafe to use across some glibc versions, I still think this change is an improvement. As I mentioned in #21022, I also think trying to restrict standard library feature usage based on bugs in glibc is not only hard to do, but it's not currently clear exactly how we do that in practice (does it also extend to patching out use in our dependencies, should we be implementing more runtime checks for features we are using, when do we consider an affected glibc "old enough" not to worry about? etc). If you take a look through the [glibc bug tracker](https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/describecomponents.cgi?product=glibc) you'll no doubt find plenty of (active) bug reports for standard library code we already using. Obviously not to say we shouldn't try and avoid buggy code where possible. Two other points: [Cory mentioned in #21022](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/21022#issuecomment-769274179): > It also seems reasonable to me to worry that boost hits the same underlying glibc bug, and we've just not happened to trigger the right conditions yet. Moving away from Boost to the standard library also removes the potential for differences related to Boosts configuration. Boost has multiple versions of `shared_mutex`, and what you end up using, and what it's backed by depends on: * The version of Boost. * The platform you're building for. * Which version of `BOOST_THREAD_VERSION` is defined: (2,3,4 or 5) default=2. (see [here](https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_70_0/doc/html/thread/build.html#thread.build.configuration) for some of the differences). * Is `BOOST_THREAD_V2_SHARED_MUTEX` defined? (not by default). If so, you might get the ["less performant, but more robust"](https://github.com/boostorg/thread/issues/230#issuecomment-475937761) version of `shared_mutex`. A lot of these factors are eliminated by our use of depends, but users will have varying configurations. It's also not inconceivable to think that a distro, or some package manager might start defining something like `BOOST_THREAD_VERSION=3`. Boost tried to change the default from 2 to 3 at one point. With this change, we no longer use Boost Thread, so this PR also removes it from depends, the build system, CI etc. Previous similar PRs were #19183 & #20922. The authors are included in the commits here. Also related to #21022 - pthread sanity checking.

Here are a few of them. Notable changes: 1. When `MAX_JOBS` is specified, both `guix time-machine` and `guix environment` will now build up to `MAX_JOBS` packages at a time when creating the build environment 2. The instructions for using substitutes were incorrect, and has now been replaced with a `SUBSTITUTE_URLS` environment variable, which works well with shell's IFS splitting rules 3. New `ADDITIONAL_GUIX_{COMMON,TIMEMACHINE}_FLAGS` options, for more granular customization of the build process. 4.
