This changes the CI / release builds to use the latest Go version. It also
upgrades golangci-lint to a newer version compatible with Go 1.19.
In Go 1.19, godoc has gained official support for links and lists. The
syntax for code blocks in doc comments has changed and now requires a
leading tab character. gofmt adapts comments to the new syntax
automatically, so there are a lot of comment re-formatting changes in this
PR. We need to apply the new format in order to pass the CI lint stage with
Go 1.19.
With the linter upgrade, I have decided to disable 'gosec' - it produces
too many false-positive warnings. The 'deadcode' and 'varcheck' linters
have also been removed because golangci-lint warns about them being
unmaintained. 'unused' provides similar coverage and we already have it
enabled, so we don't lose much with this change.
The p2p msgrate tracker is a thing which tries to estimate some mean round-trip times. However, it did so in a very curious way: if a node had 200 peers, it would sort their 200 respective rtt estimates, and then it would pick item number 2 as the mean. So effectively taking third fastest and calling it mean. This probably works "ok" when the number of peers are low (there are other factors too, such as ttlScaling which takes some of the edge off this) -- however when the number of peers is high, it becomes very skewed.
This PR instead bases the 'mean' on the square root of the length of the list. Still pretty harsh, but a bit more lenient.
This enables the following linters
- typecheck
- unused
- staticcheck
- bidichk
- durationcheck
- exportloopref
- gosec
WIth a few exceptions.
- We use a deprecated protobuf in trezor. I didn't want to mess with that, since I cannot meaningfully test any changes there.
- The deprecated TypeMux is used in a few places still, so the warning for it is silenced for now.
- Using string type in context.WithValue is apparently wrong, one should use a custom type, to prevent collisions between different places in the hierarchy of callers. That should be fixed at some point, but may require some attention.
- The warnings for using weak random generator are squashed, since we use a lot of random without need for cryptographic guarantees.
This commit replaces ioutil.TempDir with t.TempDir in tests. The
directory created by t.TempDir is automatically removed when the test
and all its subtests complete.
Prior to this commit, temporary directory created using ioutil.TempDir
had to be removed manually by calling os.RemoveAll, which is omitted in
some tests. The error handling boilerplate e.g.
defer func() {
if err := os.RemoveAll(dir); err != nil {
t.Fatal(err)
}
}
is also tedious, but t.TempDir handles this for us nicely.

This change makes use of the new code generator rlp/rlpgen to improve the
performance of RLP encoding for Header and StateAccount. It also speeds up
encoding of ReceiptForStorage using the new rlp.EncoderBuffer API.
The change is much less transparent than I wanted it to be, because Header and
StateAccount now have an EncodeRLP method defined with pointer receiver. It
used to be possible to encode non-pointer values of these types, but the new
method prevents that and attempting to encode unadressable values (even if
part of another value) will return an error. The error can be surprising and may
pop up in places that previously didn't expect any errors.
To make things work, I also needed to update all code paths (mostly in unit tests)
that lead to encoding of non-pointer values, and pass a pointer instead.

Some benchmarks in eth/filters were not good: they weren't reproducible, relying on geth chaindata to be present.
Another one was rejected because the receipt was lacking a backing transcation.
The p2p simulation benchmark had a lot of the warnings below, due to the framework calling both
Stop() and Close(). Apparently, the simulated adapter is the only implementation which has a Close(),
and there is no need to call both Stop and Close on it.
* core: fix warning flagging the use of DeepEqual on error
* apply the same change everywhere possible
* revert change that was committed by mistake
* fix build error
* Update config.go
* revert changes to ConfigCompatError
* review feedback

This PR ensures that wiping all data associated with a node (apart from its nodekey)
will not generate already used sequence number for the ENRs, since all remote nodes
would reject them until they out-number the previously published largest one.
The big complication with this scheme is that every local update to the ENR can
potentially bump the sequence number by one. In order to ensure that local updates
do not outrun the clock, the sequence number is a millisecond-precision timestamp,
and updates are throttled to occur at most once per millisecond.

In p2p/dial.go, conn.flags was accessed without using sync/atomic.
This race is fixed by removing the access.
In p2p/enode/iter_test.go, a similar race is resolved by writing the field atomically.

This change significantly improves the performance of RLPx message reads
and writes. In the previous implementation, reading and writing of
message frames performed multiple reads and writes on the underlying
network connection, and allocated a new []byte buffer for every read.
In the new implementation, reads and writes re-use buffers, and perform
much fewer system calls on the underlying connection. This doubles the
theoretically achievable throughput on a single connection, as shown by
the benchmark result:
name old speed new speed delta
Throughput-8 70.3MB/s ± 0% 155.4MB/s ± 0% +121.11% (p=0.000 n=9+8)
The change also removes support for the legacy, pre-EIP-8 handshake encoding.
As of May 2021, no actively maintained client sends this format.
This removes the error log message that says
Ethereum peer removal failed ... err="peer not registered"
The error happened because removePeer was called multiple
times: once to disconnect the peer, and another time when the
handler exited. With this change, removePeer now has the sole
purpose of disconnecting the peer. Unregistering happens exactly
once, when the handler exits.
This change extracts the peer QoS tracking logic from eth/downloader, moving
it into the new package p2p/msgrate. The job of msgrate.Tracker is determining
suitable timeout values and request sizes per peer.
The snap sync scheduler now uses msgrate.Tracker instead of the hard-coded 15s
timeout. This should make the sync work better on network links with high latency.
This changes the definitions of Ping and Pong, adding an optional field
for the sequence number. This field was previously encoded/decoded using
the "tail" struct tag, but using "optional" is much nicer.
