2017-12-29Use best-fit strategy in Arena, now O(log(n)) instead O(n)Martin Ankerl
This replaces the first-fit algorithm used in the Arena with a best-fit. According to "Dynamic Storage Allocation: A Survey and Critical Review", Wilson et. al. 1995, http://www.scs.stanford.edu/14wi-cs140/sched/readings/wilson.pdf, both startegies work well in practice. The advantage of using best-fit is that we can switch the slow O(n) algorithm to O(log(n)) operations. Additionally, some previously O(log(n)) operations are now replaced with O(1) operations by using a hash map. The end effect is that the benchmark runs about 2.5 times faster on my machine: old: BenchLockedPool, 5, 530, 5.25749, 0.00196938, 0.00199755, 0.00198172 new: BenchLockedPool, 5, 1300, 5.11313, 0.000781493, 0.000793314, 0.00078606 I've run all unit tests and benchmarks.
2017-12-13Merge #11558: Minimal code changes to allow msvc compilationWladimir J. van der Laan
fbf327b Minimal code changes to allow msvc compilation. (Aaron Clauson) Pull request description: These changes are required to allow the Bitcoin source to build with Microsoft's C++ compiler (#11562 is also required). I looked around for a better place for the typedef of ssize_t which is in random.h. The best candidate looks like src/compat.h but I figured including that header in random.h is a bigger change than the typedef. Note that the same typedef is in at least two other places including the OpenSSL and Berkeley DB headers so some of the Bitcoin code already picks it up.

2017-09-16Refactor: Modernize disallowed copy constructors/assignmentDan Raviv
Use C++11's better capability of expressing an interface of a non-copyable class by publicly deleting its copy ctor and assignment operator instead of just declaring them private.
2017-09-06Switch memory_cleanse implementation to BoringSSL's to ensure memory ↵Adam Langley
clearing even with link-time optimization. The implementation we currently use from OpenSSL prevents the compiler from optimizing away clensing operations on blocks of memory that are about to be released, but this protection is not extended to link-time optimization. This commit copies the solution cooked up by Google compiler engineers which uses inline assembly directives to instruct the compiler not to optimize out the call under any circumstances. As the code is in-lined, this has the added advantage of removing one more OpenSSL dependency. Regarding license compatibility, Google's contributions to BoringSSL library, including this code, is made available under the ISC license, which is MIT compatible.

Check for unreasonable alloc size in LockedPool rather than lancing through new Arenas until we improbably find one worthy of the quixotic request or the system can support no more Arenas.

2016-10-27support: Add LockedPoolWladimir J. van der Laan
Add a pool for locked memory chunks, replacing LockedPageManager. This is something I've been wanting to do for a long time. The current approach of locking objects where they happen to be on the stack or heap in-place causes a lot of mlock/munlock system call overhead, slowing down any handling of keys. Also locked memory is a limited resource on many operating systems (and using a lot of it bogs down the system), so the previous approach of locking every page that may contain any key information (but also other information) is wasteful.
2016-10-19wallet: Get rid of LockObject and UnlockObject calls in key.hWladimir J. van der Laan
Replace these with vectors allocated from the secure allocator. This avoids mlock syscall churn on stack pages, as well as makes it possible to get rid of these functions. Please review this commit and the previous one carefully that no `sizeof(vectortype)` remains in the memcpys and memcmps usage (ick!), and `.data()` or `&vec[x]` is used as appropriate instead of &vec.

This assertion will occur any time that the client quits without shutting down properly due to an error condition. As the user will report this error instead of the error that was the root cause, it is better to remove it.

2015-03-20allocators: split allocators and pagelockerCory Fields
Pagelocker is only needed for secure (usually wallet) operations, so don't make the zero-after-free allocator depend on it.
2015-02-15openssl: abstract out OPENSSL_cleanseCory Fields
This makes it easier for us to replace it if desired, since it's now only in one spot. Also, it avoids the openssl include from allocators.h, which essentially forced openssl to be included from every compilation unit.
