Usage is demonstrated in the example script `contrib/tracing/mempool_monitor.py`. Interface tests are provided in `test/functional/interface_usdt_mempool.py`. The rationale for passing the removal reason as a string instead of numerically is that the benefits of not having to maintain a redundant enum-string mapping seem to outweigh the small cost of string generation. The reject reason is passed as string as well, although in this instance the string does not have to be generated but is readily available.

2023-03-20Add mempool tracepointsvirtu
Tracepoints for added, removed, replaced, and rejected transactions. The removal reason is passed as string instead of a numeric value, since the benefits of not having to maintain a redundant enum-string mapping seem to outweigh the small cost of string generation. The reject reason is passed as string as well, although here the string does not have to be generated but is readily available. So far, tracepoint PRs typically included two demo scripts: a naive bpftrace script to show raw tracepoint data and a bcc script for a more refined view. However, as some of the ongoing changes to bpftrace introduce a certain degree of unreliability (running some of the existing bpftrace scripts was not possible with standard kernels and bpftrace packages on latest stable Ubuntu, Debian, and NixOS), this PR includes only a single bcc script that fuses the functionality of former bpftrace and bcc scripts.

Simultaneously in the background, the already-existing chainstate continues "conventional" IBD to both accumulate full block data and serve as a belt-and-suspenders to validate the assumed-valid chainstate. Once the background chainstate's tip reaches the base block of the snapshot used, we set `m_stop_use` on that chainstate and immediately take the hash of its UTXO set; we verify that this matches the assumeutxo value in the source code. Note that while we ultimately want to remove this background chainstate, we don't do so until the following initialization process, when we again check the UTXO set hash of the background chainstate, and if it continues to match, we remove the (now unnecessary) background chainstate, and move the (previously) assumed-valid chainstate into its place. We then reinitialize the chainstate in the normal way. As noted in previous comments, we could do the filesystem operations "inline" immediately when the background validation completes, but that's basically just an optimization that saves disk space until the next restart. It didn't strike me as worth the risk of moving chainstate data around on disk during runtime of the node, though maybe my concerns are overblown. The final result of this completion process is a fully-validated chain, where the only evidence that the user synced using assumeutxo is the existence of a `base_blockhash` file in the `chainstate` directory.

(David Gumberg) Pull request description: This PR adds a user configurable, zero by default parameter — `maxburnamount` — to `sendrawtransaction`. This PR makes bitcoin core reject transactions that contain unspendable outputs which exceed `maxburnamount`. closes #25899. As a result of this PR, `sendrawtransaction` will by default block 3 kinds of transactions: 1. Those that begin with `OP_RETURN` - (datacarriers) 2. Those whose lengths exceed the script limit. 3. Those that contain invalid opcodes. The user is able to configure a `maxburnamount` that will override this check and allow a user to send a potentially unspendable output into the mempool. I see two legitimate use cases for this override: 1. Users that deliberately use `OP_RETURN` for datacarrier transactions that embed data into the blockchain. 2. Users that refuse to update, or are unable to update their bitcoin core client would be able to make use of new opcodes that their client doesn't know about.

This PR improves the error handling in this case in the following ways: - The rpc `-verifychain` now returns false if the check can't be completed due to insufficient cache - During init, we only log a warning if the default values for `-checkblocks` and `-checklevel` are taken and the check doesn't complete. However, if the user actively specifies one of these args, we return with an InitError if we can't complete the check. This PR also changes `-verifychain` RPC to return `false` if the verification didn't finish due to missing block data (pruning) or due to being interrupted by the node being shutdown.

75347236f212f327a5bba10d8a900cc58ebe5de0 docs: document c-style cast prohibition (Pasta) Pull request description: In the words of practicalswift: ``` A C-style cast is equivalent to try casting in the following order: const_cast(...) static_cast(...) const_cast(static_cast(...)) reinterpret_cast(...) const_cast(reinterpret_cast(...)) By using static_cast<T>(...) explicitly we avoid the possibility of an unintentional and dangerous reinterpret_cast. Furthermore static_cast<T>(...) allows for easier grepping of casts. For a more thorough discussion, see "ES.49: If you must use a cast, use a named cast" in the C++ Core Guidelines (Stroustrup & Sutter). ``` Modern tooling, specifically `-Wold-style-cast` can enable us to enforce never using C-style casts. I believe this is especially important due to the number of C-style casts the codebase is currently being used as a reinterpret_cast. reinterpret_casts are especially dangerous, and should never be done via C-style casts. Update the docs to suggest the use of named cast or functional casts. Top commit has no ACKs.

In comparison to https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/9569 which either set `maxmempool` size to 0 when `-blocksonly` was set or else errored on startup, this change will permit `maxmempool` options being set. This preserves the current (surprising?) behaviour of having a functional mempool in `-blocksonly` mode, to permit whitelisted peer transaction relay, whilst reducing average runtime memory usage for blocksonly nodes which either use the default settings or have otherwise configured a `maxmempool` size. To use the previous old defaults node operators can configure their node with: `-blocksonly -maxmempool=300`.
