This change improves GenerateChain to support internal chain history access (ChainReader)
for the consensus engine and EVM.
GenerateChain takes a `parent` block and the number of blocks to create. With my changes,
the consensus engine and EVM can now access blocks from `parent` up to the block currently
being generated. This is required to make the BLOCKHASH instruction work, and also needed
to create real clique chains. Clique uses chain history to figure out if the current signer is in-turn,
for example.
I've also added some more accessors to BlockGen. These are helpful when creating transactions:
- g.Signer returns a signer instance for the current block
- g.Difficulty returns the current block difficulty
- g.Gas returns the remaining gas amount
Another fix in this commit concerns the receipts returned by GenerateChain. The receipts now
have properly derived fields (BlockHash, etc.) and should generally match what would be
returned by the RPC API.
This adds warning logs when the read does not match the expected count.
We can also remove the size limit since the function documentation explicitly states
that callers should limit the count.
a little copying is better than a little dependency

We have this dependency on docker, a.k.a moby: a gigantic library, and we only need ~70 LOC,
so here I tried moving it inline instead.

This PR is a bit in preparation for the slog work in #28187 .
Our current test re logging mostly test the internals, but we have no real end-to-end test of the logging output. This PR introduces a simple reexec-based log tester. This also relies upon a special mode in geth, which can be made to eject a set of predefined log messages (only available if the build-tag `integrationtests` is used
e.g. go run --tags=integrationtests ./cmd/geth --log.format terminal logtest
While working on this, I also noticed a quirk in the setup: when geth was configured to use a file output, then two separate handlers were used (one handler for the file, one handler for the console). Using two separate handlers means that two formatters are used, thus the formatting of any/all records happened twice. This PR changes the mechanism to use two separate io.Writers instead, which is both more optimal and fixes a bug which occurs due to a global statefulness in the formatter.
The String() version of BlockNumberOrHash uses decimal for all block numbers, including negative ones used to indicate labels. Switch to using BlockNumber.String() which encodes it correctly for use in the JSON-RPC API.
This PR removes panics from stacktrie (mostly), and makes the Update return errors instead. While adding tests for this, I also found that one case of possible corruption was not caught, which is now fixed.
This change closes https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/issues/27730 . By using an iterator instead of a slice of transactions, we can better handle the case when an individual transaction (within an otherwise well-formed RLP-list) cannot be decoded.
Fixes a bug where the ethstats omits to report full block contents. This bug was a side-effect of https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/26777, where `CurrentBlock` was changed to return a header instead of a block, leading to a failed type assertion.
A goroutine is used to manage the lifetime of subscriptions managed by
resubscriptions. When the subscription ends with no error, the resub
goroutine ends as well. However, the resub goroutine needs to live
long enough to read from the unsub channel. Otheriwse, an Unsubscribe
call deadlocks when writing to the unsub channel.
This is fixed by adding a buffer to the unsub channel.
