Pull request description:
The weekly meeting on [2017-12-07](http://www.erisian.com.au/meetbot/bitcoin-core-dev/2017/bitcoin-core-dev.2017-12-07-19.00.log.html) discussed allowing options to bitcoin to have some sensitivity to what network is in use. @theuni suggested having sections in the config file:
<cfields> an alternative to that would be sections in a config file. and on the
cmdline they'd look like namespaces. so, [testnet] port=5. or -testnet::port=5.
This approach is (more or less) supported by `boost::program_options::detail::config_file_iterator` -- when it sees a `[testnet]` section with `port=5`, it will treat that the same as "testnet.port=5". So `[testnet] port=5` (or `testnet.port=5` without the section header) in bitcoin.conf and `-testnet.port=5` on the command line.
The other aspect to this question is possibly limiting some options so that there is no possibility of accidental cross-contamination across networks. For example, if you're using a particular wallet.dat on mainnet, you may not want to accidentally use the same wallet on testnet and risk reusing keys.
I've set this up so that the `-addnode` and `-wallet` options are `NETWORK_ONLY`, so that if you have a bitcoin.conf:
wallet=/secret/wallet.dat
upnp=1
and you run `bitcoind -testnet` or `bitcoind -regtest`, then the `wallet=` setting will be ignored, and should behave as if your bitcoin.conf had specified:
upnp=1
[main]
wallet=/secret/wallet.dat
For any `NETWORK_ONLY` options, if you're using `-testnet` or `-regtest`, you'll have to add the prefix to any command line options. This was necessary for `multiwallet.py` for instance.
I've left the "default" options as taking precedence over network specific ones, which might be backwards. So if you have:
maxmempool=200
[regtest]
maxmempool=100
your maxmempool will still be 200 on regtest. The advantage of doing it this way is that if you have `[regtest] maxmempool=100` in bitcoin.conf, and then say `bitcoind -regtest -maxmempool=200`, the same result is probably in line with what you expect...
The other thing to note is that I'm using the chain names from `chainparamsbase.cpp` / `ChainNameFromCommandLine`, so the sections are `[main]`, `[test]` and `[regtest]`; not `[mainnet]` or `[testnet]` as might be expected.
Thoughts? Ping @MeshCollider @laanwj @jonasschnelli @morcos

This leads to massive speedups under Wine.
|
|
When network-specific options such as -addnode, -connect, etc are
specified in the default section of the config file, but that setting is
ignored due to testnet or regtest being in use, and it is not overridden
by either a command line option or a setting in the [regtest] or [test]
section of the config file, a warning is added to the log, eg:
Warning: Config setting for -connect only applied on regtest network when in [regtest] section.
|
|
When specified in bitcoin.conf without using the [regtest] or [test]
section header, or a "regtest." or "test." prefix, the "addnode",
"connect", "port", "bind", "rpcport", "rpcbind", and "wallet" settings
will only be applied when running on mainnet.
|
|
|
|
When a -nofoo option is seen, instead of adding it to a separate
set of negated args, set the arg as being an empty vector of strings.
This changes the behaviour in some ways:
- -nofoo=0 still sets foo=1 but no longer treats it as a negated arg
- -nofoo=1 -foo=2 has GetArgs() return [2] rather than [2,0]
- "foo=2 \n -nofoo=1" in a config file no longer returns [2,0], just [0]
- GetArgs returns an empty vector for negated args

d54874d Set SCHED_BATCH priority on the loadblk thread. (Evan Klitzke)
Pull request description:
Today I came across #10271, and while reading the discussion #6358 was linked to. Linux systems have a `SCHED_BATCH` scheduler priority that is useful for threads like loadblk. You can find the full details at [sched(7)](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/sched.7.html), but I'll quote the relevant part of the man page below:
> ...this policy will cause the scheduler to always assume that the thread is
CPU-intensive. Consequently, the scheduler will apply a small scheduling penalty
with respect to wakeup behavior, so that this thread is mildly disfavored in
scheduling decisions.
>
> This policy is useful for workloads that are noninteractive, but do not want to
lower their nice value, and for workloads that want a deterministic scheduling
policy without interactivity causing extra preemptions (between the workload's
tasks).
I think this change is useful independently of #10271 and irrespective of whether that change is merged. Under normal operation the loadblk thread will just import `mempool.dat`. However, if Bitcoin is started with `-reindex` or `-reindex-chainstate` this thread will use a great deal of CPU while it rebuilds the chainstate database (and the block database in the case of `-reindex`). By setting `SCHED_BATCH` this thread is less likely to interfere with interactive tasks (e.g. the user's web browser, text editor, etc.).
I'm leaving the nice value unchanged (which also affects scheduling decisions) because I think that's better set by the user. Likewise I'm not using [ioprio_set(2)](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/ioprio_set.2.html) because it can cause the thread to become completely I/O starved (and knowledgeable users can use `ionice(1)` anyway).

a192636 -blocksdir: keep blockindex leveldb database in datadir (Jonas Schnelli)
f38e4fd QA: Add -blocksdir test (Jonas Schnelli)
386a6b6 Allow to optional specify the directory for the blocks storage (Jonas Schnelli)
Pull request description:
Since the actual block files taking up more and more space, it may be desirable to have them stored in a different location then the data directory (use case: SSD for chainstate, etc., HD for blocks).
This PR adds a `-blocksdir` option that allows one to keep the blockfiles and the blockindex external from the data directory (instead of creating symlinks).
I fist had an option to keep the blockindex within the datadir, but seems to make no sense since accessing the index will (always) lead to access (r/w) the block files.

While reading another PR I saw a mention of #6358. The use case for
SCHED_BATCH is to hint to the kernel that the thread is running a
non-interactive workload that consumes a lot of CPU time. This is
helpful on desktop machines where the loadblk thread can interfere with
interactive applications. More details can be found in the sched(7) man
page.

Pull request description:
If the --datadir exists, but is not writable, the current error message on startup is 'Cannot obtain a lock on data directory foo. Bitcoin Core is probably already running.' This is misleading.
I believe this PR addresses #11668, although the issue is not Windows-specific.

determine available cores
937bf4335 Use std::thread::hardware_concurrency, instead of Boost, to determine available cores (fanquake)
Pull request description:
Following discussion on IRC about replacing Boost usage for detecting available system cores, I've opened this to collect some benchmarks + further discussion.
The current method for detecting available cores was introduced in #6361.
Recap of the IRC chat:
```
21:14:08 fanquake: Since we seem to be giving Boost removal a good shot for 0.15, does anyone have suggestions for replacing GetNumCores?
21:14:26 fanquake: There is std::thread::hardware_concurrency(), but that seems to count virtual cores, which I don't think we want.
21:14:51 BlueMatt: fanquake: I doubt we'll do boost removal for 0.15
21:14:58 BlueMatt: shit like BOOST_FOREACH, sure
21:15:07 BlueMatt: but all of boost? doubtful, there are still things we need
21:16:36 fanquake: Yea sorry, not the whole lot, but we can remove a decent chunk. Just looking into what else needs to be done to replace some of the less involved Boost usage.
21:16:43 BlueMatt: fair
21:17:14 wumpus: yes, it makes sense to plan ahead a bit, without immediately doing it
21:18:12 wumpus: right, don't count virtual cores, that used to be the case but it makes no sense for our usage
21:19:15 wumpus: it'd create a swarm of threads overwhelming any machine with hyperthreading (+accompanying thread stack overhead), for script validation, and there was no gain at all for that
21:20:03 sipa: BlueMatt: don't worry, there is no hurry
21:59:10 morcos: wumpus: i don't think that is correct
21:59:24 morcos: suppose you have 4 cores (8 virtual cores)
21:59:24 wumpus: fanquake: indeed seems that std has no equivalent to physical_concurrency, on any standard. That's annoying as it is non-trivial to implement
21:59:35 morcos: i think running par=8 (if it let you) would be notably faster
21:59:59 morcos: jeremyrubin and i discussed this at length a while back... i think i commented about it on irc at the time
22:00:21 wumpus: morcos: I think the conclusion at the time was that it made no difference, but sure would make sense to benchmark
22:00:39 morcos: perhaps historical testing on the virtual vs actual cores was polluted by concurrency issues that have now improved
22:00:47 wumpus: I think there are not more ALUs, so there is not really a point in having more threads
22:01:40 wumpus: hyperthreads are basically just a stored register state right?
22:02:23 sipa: wumpus: yes but it helps the scheduler
22:02:27 wumpus: in which case the only speedup using "number of cores" threads would give you is, possibly, excluding other software from running on the cores on the same time
22:02:37 morcos: well this is where i get out of my depth
22:02:50 sipa: if one of the threads is waiting on a read from ram, the other can use the arithmetic unit for example
22:02:54 morcos: wumpus: i'm pretty sure though that the speed up is considerably more than what you might expect from that
22:02:59 wumpus: sipa: ok, I back down, I didn't want to argue this at all
22:03:35 morcos: the reason i haven't tested it myself, is the machine i usually use has 16 cores... so not easy due to remaining concurrency issues to get much more speedup
22:03:36 wumpus: I'm fine with restoring it to number of virtual threads if that's faster
22:03:54 morcos: we should have somene with 4 cores (and  actually test it though, i agree
22:03:58 sipa: i would expect (but we should benchmark...) that if 8 scriot validation threads instead of 4 on a quadcore hyperthreading is not faster, it's due to lock contention
22:04:20 morcos: sipa: yeah thats my point, i think lock contention isn't that bad with 8 now
22:04:22 wumpus: on 64-bit systems the additional thread overhead wouldn't be important at least
22:04:23 gmaxwell: I previously benchmarked, a long time ago, it was faster.
22:04:33 gmaxwell: (to use the HT core count)
22:04:44 wumpus: why was this changed at all then?
22:04:47 wumpus: I'm confused
22:05:04 sipa: good question!
22:05:06 gmaxwell: I had no idea we changed it.
22:05:25 wumpus: sigh 
22:05:54 gmaxwell: What PR changed it?
22:06:51 gmaxwell: In any case, on 32-bit it's probably a good tradeoff... the extra ram overhead is worth avoiding.
22:07:22 wumpus: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/6361
22:07:28 gmaxwell: PR 6461 btw.
22:07:37 gmaxwell: er lol at least you got it right.
22:07:45 wumpus: the complaint was that systems became unsuably slow when using that many thread
22:07:51 wumpus: so at least I got one thing right, woohoo
22:07:55 sipa: seems i even acked it!
22:07:57 BlueMatt: wumpus: there are more alus
22:08:38 BlueMatt: but we need to improve lock contention first
22:08:40 morcos: anywya, i think in the past the lock contention made 8 threads regardless of cores a bit dicey.. now that is much better (although more still to be done)
22:09:01 BlueMatt: or we can just merge #10192, thats fee
22:09:04 gribble: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/10192 | Cache full script execution results in addition to signatures by TheBlueMatt · Pull Request #10192 · bitcoin/bitcoin · GitHub
22:09:11 BlueMatt: s/fee/free/
22:09:21 morcos: no, we do not need to improve lock contention first. but we should probably do that before we increase the max beyond 16
22:09:26 BlueMatt: then we can toss concurrency issues out the window and get more speedup anyway
22:09:35 gmaxwell: wumpus: yea, well in QT I thought we also diminished the count by 1 or something? but yes, if the motivation was to reduce how heavily the machine was used, thats fair.
22:09:56 sipa: the benefit of using HT cores is certainly not a factor 2
22:09:58 wumpus: gmaxwell: for the default I think this makes a lot of sense, yes
22:10:10 gmaxwell: morcos: right now on my 24/28 physical core hosts going beyond 16 still reduces performance.
22:10:11 wumpus: gmaxwell: do we also restrict the maximum par using this? that'd make less sense
22:10:51 wumpus: if someone *wants* to use the virtual cores they should be able to by setting -par=
22:10:51 sipa: *flies to US*
22:10:52 BlueMatt: sipa: sure, but the shared cache helps us get more out of it than some others, as morcos points out
22:11:30 BlueMatt: (because it means our thread contention issues are less)
22:12:05 morcos: gmaxwell: yeah i've been bogged down in fee estimation as well (and the rest of life) for a while now.. otherwise i would have put more effort into jeremy's checkqueue
22:12:36 BlueMatt: morcos: heh, well now you can do other stuff while the rest of us get bogged down in understanding fee estimation enough to review it 
22:12:37 wumpus: [to answer my own question: no, the limit for par is MAX_SCRIPTCHECK_THREADS, or 16]
22:12:54 morcos: but to me optimizing for more than 16 cores is pretty valuable as miners could use beefy machines and be less concerned by block validation time
22:14:38 BlueMatt: morcos: i think you may be surprised by the number of mining pools that are on VPSes that do not have 16 cores 
22:15:34 gmaxwell: I assume right now most of the time block validation is bogged in the parts that are not as concurrent. simple because caching makes the concurrent parts so fast. (and soon to hopefully increase with bluematt's patch)
22:17:55 gmaxwell: improving sha2 speed, or transaction malloc overhead are probably bigger wins now for connection at the tip than parallelism beyond 16 (though I'd like that too).
22:18:21 BlueMatt: sha2 speed is big
22:18:27 morcos: yeah lots of things to do actually...
22:18:57 gmaxwell: BlueMatt: might be a tiny bit less big if we didn't hash the block header 8 times for every block. 
22:21:27 BlueMatt: ehh, probably, but I'm less rushed there
22:21:43 BlueMatt: my new cache thing is about to add a bunch of hashing
22:21:50 BlueMatt: 1 sha round per tx
22:22:25 BlueMatt: and sigcache is obviously a ton

The user can specify either a relative path, in which case the path
is relative to the data directory. They can also specify an absolute
path to put the log anywhere else in the file system.

We should generally avoid writing to debug.log unconditionally for

To avoid removing logs for outbound peers, a new log is added to
notify users when a new outbound peer is connected which mimics
the version print.
