All three commits should be straightforward: * The first commit adds around 20 lines of new code and then updates a bunch of function signatures (generally updating them to take plain fs::path parameters, instead of combinations of strings, fs::paths, and objects like CDBEnv and CWalletDBWrapper). * The second commit removes two `-wallet` filename checks and adds some test cases to the multiwallet unit test. * The third commit just changes the mapping from specified wallet paths to bdb environment & data paths. --- **Note:** For anybody looking at this PR for the first time, I think you can skip the comments before _20 Nov_ and start reading at https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11687#issuecomment-345625565.

This change adds a `spentby` field to the json response, which lists the transaction's children in the mempool. Currently the only way to find child transactions is to use `getrawmempool` or make another call to `getmempooldescendants` and search the response for transactions that list the parent_txid in the `depends` list, which is inefficient.

2018-03-06Merge #9037: net: Add test-before-evict discipline to addrmanWladimir J. van der Laan
e68172ed9 Add test-before-evict discipline to addrman (Ethan Heilman) Pull request description: This change implement countermeasures 3 (test-before-evict) suggested in our paper: ["Eclipse Attacks on Bitcoin’s Peer-to-Peer Network"](http://cs-people.bu.edu/heilman/eclipse/). # Design: A collision occurs when an address, addr1, is being moved to the tried table from the new table, but maps to a position in the tried table which already contains an address (addr2). The current behavior is that addr1 would evict addr2 from the tried table. This change ensures that during a collision, addr1 is not inserted into tried but instead inserted into a buffer (setTriedCollisions). The to-be-evicted address, addr2, is then tested by [a feeler connection](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/8282). If addr2 is found to be online, we remove addr1 from the buffer and addr2 is not evicted, on the other hand if addr2 is found be offline it is replaced by addr1. An additional small advantage of this change is that, as no more than ten addresses can be in the test buffer at once, and addresses are only cleared one at a time from the test buffer (at 2 minute intervals), thus an attacker is forced to wait at least two minutes to insert a new address into tried after filling up the test buffer. This rate limits an attacker attempting to launch an eclipse attack. # Risk mitigation: - To prevent this functionality from being used as a DoS vector, we limit the number of addresses which are to be tested to ten. If we have more than ten addresses to test, we drop new addresses being added to tried if they would evict an address. Since the feeler thread only creates one new connection every 2 minutes the additional network overhead is limited. - An address in tried gains immunity from tests for 4 hours after it has been tested or successfully connected to. # Tests: This change includes additional addrman unittests which test this behavior. I ran an instance of this change with a much smaller tried table (2 buckets of 64 addresses) so that collisions were much more likely and observed evictions. ``` 2016-10-27 07:20:26 Swapping 208.12.64.252:8333 for 68.62.95.247:8333 in tried table 2016-10-27 07:20:26 Moving 208.12.64.252:8333 to tried ``` I documented tests we ran against similar earlier versions of this change in #6355. # Security Benefit This is was originally posted in PR #8282 see [this comment for full details](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/8282#issuecomment-237255215). To determine the security benefit of these larger numbers of IPs in the tried table I modeled the attack presented in [Eclipse Attacks on Bitcoin’s Peer-to-Peer Network](https://eprint.iacr.org/2015/263). ![attackergraph40000-10-1000short-line](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/274814/17366828/372af458-595b-11e6-81e5-2c9f97282305.png) **Default node:** 595 attacker IPs for ~50% attack success. **Default node + test-before-evict:** 620 attacker IPs for ~50% attack success. **Feeler node:** 5540 attacker IPs for ~50% attack success. **Feeler node + test-before-evict:** 8600 attacker IPs for ~50% attack success. The node running feeler connections has 10 times as many online IP addresses in its tried table making an attack 10 times harder (i.e. requiring the an attacker require 10 times as many IP addresses in different /16s). Adding test-before-evict increases resistance of the node by an additional 3000 attacker IP addresses. Below I graph the attack over even greater attacker resources (i.e. more attacker controled IP addresses). Note that test-before-evict maintains some security far longer even against an attacker with 50,000 IPs. If this node had a larger tried table test-before-evict could greatly boost a nodes resistance to eclipse attacks. ![attacker graph long view](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/274814/17367108/96f46d64-595c-11e6-91cd-edba160598e7.png) Tree-SHA512: fdad4d26aadeaad9bcdc71929b3eb4e1f855b3ee3541fbfbe25dca8d7d0a1667815402db0cb4319db6bd3fcd32d67b5bbc0e12045c4252d62d6239b7d77c4395

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 ``` Tree-SHA512: a594430e2a77d8cc741ea8c664a2867b1e1693e5050a4bbc8511e8d66a2bffe241a9965f6dff1e7fbb99f21dd1fdeb95b826365da8bd8f9fab2d0ffd80d5059c

2018-03-06gui: Show messages as text not htmlWladimir J. van der Laan
Currently, error messages (such as InitError) are displayed as-is, which means Qt does auto detection on the format. This means that it's possible to inject HTML from the command line though e.g. specifying a wallet name with HTML in it. This isn't a direct security risk because fetching content from internet is disabled (and as far as I know we never report strings received from the network this way). However, it can be confusing. So explicitly force the format as text.

This is necessary because we have multiple LevelDB databases (two now, and possibly more later, e.g. #11857). I am using this information in other branches where I'm experimenting with changing LevelDB buffer sizes.

2018-03-04Add a test for large tx output scripts with segwit input.Richard Kiss
2018-03-03Create new wallet databases as directories rather than filesRussell Yanofsky
This change should make it easier for users to make complete backups of wallets because they can now just back up the specified `-wallet=<path>` path directly, instead of having to back up the specified path as well as the transaction log directory (for incompletely flushed wallets). Another advantage of this change is that if two wallets are located in the same directory, they will now use their own BerkeleyDB environments instead using a shared environment. Using a shared environment makes it difficult to manage and back up wallets separately because transaction log files will contain a mix of data from all wallets in the environment.
