Ticket #23273 found a flaw where we were unable to sign legacy-transactions
using the external signer, even if we're still on non-london network. That's
fixed in this PR.
Additionally, I found that even when supplying all parameters, it was impossible
to sign a london-transaction on an unsynched node. It's a pretty common usecase
that someone wants to sign a transaction using an unsynced 'vanilla' node,
providing all necessary data. Our setDefaults, however, insisted on checking the
current block against the config. This PR therefore adds a case, so that if both
MaxPriorityFeePerGas and MaxFeePerGas are provided, we accept them as given.
OBS This PR fixes a regression -- on current master, we are unable to sign a
london-transaction unless the node is synched, which may break scenarios where
geth (or clef) is used as a cold wallet.

There are two transaction parameter structures defined in
the codebase, although for different purposes. But most of
the parameters are shared. So it's nice to reduce the code
duplication by merging them together.

This PR cleans up the CI build system and fixes a couple of issues.
- The go tool launcher code has been moved to internal/build. With the new
toolchain functions, the environment of the host Go (i.e. the one that built
ci.go) and the target Go (i.e. the toolchain downloaded by -dlgo) are isolated
more strictly. This is important to make cross compilation and -dlgo work
correctly in more cases.
- The -dlgo option now skips the download and uses the host Go if the running Go
version matches dlgoVersion exactly.
- The 'test' command now supports -dlgo, -cc and -arch. Running unit tests with
foreign GOARCH is occasionally useful. For example, it can be used to run
32-bit tests on Windows. It can also be used to run darwin/amd64 tests on
darwin/arm64 using Rosetta 2.
- The 'aar', 'xcode' and 'xgo' commands now use a slightly different method to
install external tools. They previously used `go get`, but this comes with the
annoying side effect of modifying go.mod. They now use `go install` instead,
which is the recommended way of installing tools without modifying the local
module.
- The old build warning about outdated Go version has been removed because we're
much better at keeping backwards compatibility now.

This change adds support for logging JSON records when the --log.json flag is
given. The --debug and --backtrace flags are deprecated and replaced by
--log.debug and --log.backtrace.
While changing this, it was noticed that the --memprofilerate and
--blockprofilerate were ineffective (they were always overridden even if
--pprof.memprofilerate was not set). This is also fixed.

This adds support for EIP-2718 typed transactions as well as EIP-2930
access list transactions (tx type 1). These EIPs are scheduled for the
Berlin fork.
There very few changes to existing APIs in core/types, and several new APIs
to deal with access list transactions. In particular, there are two new
constructor functions for transactions: types.NewTx and types.SignNewTx.
Since the canonical encoding of typed transactions is not RLP-compatible,
Transaction now has new methods for encoding and decoding: MarshalBinary
and UnmarshalBinary.
The existing EIP-155 signer does not support the new transaction types.
All code dealing with transaction signatures should be updated to use the
newer EIP-2930 signer. To make this easier for future updates, we have
added new constructor functions for types.Signer: types.LatestSigner and
types.LatestSignerForChainID.
This change also adds support for the YoloV3 testnet.

This PR prevents users from submitting transactions without EIP-155 enabled. This behaviour can be overridden by specifying the flag --rpc.allow-unprotected-txs=true.
This PR introduces:
- db.put to put a value into the database
- db.get to read a value from the database
- db.delete to delete a value from the database
- db.stats to check compaction info from the database
- db.compact to trigger a db compaction
It also moves inspectdb to db.inspect.
During the snap and eth refactor, the net_version rpc call was falsely deprecated.
This restores the net_version RPC handler as most eth2 nodes and other software
depend on it.
This commit splits the eth package, separating the handling of eth and snap protocols. It also includes the capability to run snap sync (https://github.com/ethereum/devp2p/blob/master/caps/snap.md) , but does not enable it by default.

This new flag downloads a known version of Go and builds with it. This
is meant for environments where we can't easily upgrade the installed Go
version.
* .travis.yml: remove install step for PR test builders
We added this step originally to avoid re-building everything
for every test. go test has become much smarter in recent go
releases, so we no longer need to install anything here.
TAP is a text format for test results. Parsers for it are available in many languages,
making it easy to consume. I want TAP output from our protocol tests because the
Hive wrapper around them needs to know about the test names and their individual
results and logs. It would also be possible to just write this info as JSON, but I don't
want to invent a new format.
This also improves the normal console output for tests (when running without --tap).
It now prints -- RUN lines before any output from the test, and indents the log output
by one space.
ToHex was deprecated a couple years ago. The last remaining use
was in ToHexArray, which itself only had a single call site.
This just moves ToHexArray near its only remaining call site and
implements it using hexutil.Encode. This changes the default behaviour
of ToHexArray and with it the behaviour of eth_getProof. Previously we
encoded an empty slice as 0, now the empty slice is encoded as 0x.
This allows users to estimate gas on top of arbitrary blocks as well as pending and latest.
Tracing on pending is useful for most users as it takes into account the current txpool while
tracing on latest might be useful for users that have little to know knowledge of the current
transactions in the network.
If blockNrOrHash is not specified, estimateGas defaults to pending
This PR significantly changes the APIs for instantiating Ethereum nodes in
a Go program. The new APIs are not backwards-compatible, but we feel that
this is made up for by the much simpler way of registering services on
node.Node. You can find more information and rationale in the design
document: https://gist.github.com/renaynay/5bec2de19fde66f4d04c535fd24f0775.
There is also a new feature in Node's Go API: it is now possible to
register arbitrary handlers on the user-facing HTTP server. In geth, this
facility is used to enable GraphQL.
There is a single minor change relevant for geth users in this PR: The
GraphQL API is no longer available separately from the JSON-RPC HTTP
server. If you want GraphQL, you need to enable it using the
./geth --http --graphql flag combination.
The --graphql.port and --graphql.addr flags are no longer available.
This change introduces garbage collection for the light client. Historical
chain data is deleted periodically. If you want to disable the GC, use
the --light.nopruning flag.
This adds a test suite for discovery v4. The test suite is a port of the Hive suite for
discovery, and will replace the current suite on Hive soon-ish. The tests can be
run locally with this command:
devp2p discv4 test -remote enode//...

Exposing /debug/metrics and /debug/metrics/prometheus was dependent
on --pprof, which also exposes other HTTP APIs. This change makes it possible
to run the metrics server on an independent endpoint without enabling pprof.

* all: seperate consensus error and evm internal error
There are actually two types of error will be returned when
a tranaction/message call is executed: (a) consensus error
(b) evm internal error. The former should be converted to
a consensus issue, e.g. The sender doesn't enough asset to
purchase the gas it specifies. The latter is allowed since
evm itself is a blackbox and internal error is allowed to happen.
This PR emphasizes the difference by introducing a executionResult
structure. The evm error is embedded inside. So if any error
returned, it indicates consensus issue happens.
And also this PR improve the `EstimateGas` API to return the concrete
revert reason if the transaction always fails

This PR adds service value measurement statistics to the light client. It

ToMessage is used to convert between ethapi.CallArgs and types.Message.
It reduces the length of the DoCall method by about half by abstracting out
the conversion between the CallArgs and the Message. This should improve the
code's maintainability and reusability.
Prior to this change, eth_call changed the balance of the sender account in the
EVM environment to 2^256 wei to cover the gas cost of the call execution.
We've had this behavior for a long time even though it's super confusing.
This commit sets the default call gasprice to zero instead of updating the balance,
which is better because it makes eth_call semantics less surprising. Removing
the built-in balance assignment also makes balance overrides work as expected.
This makes eth_call and eth_estimateGas use the zero address
as sender when the "from" parameter is not supplied.

This replaces the JavaScript interpreter used by the console with goja,
which is actively maintained and a lot faster than otto. Clef still uses otto
and eth/tracers still uses duktape, so we are currently dependent on three
different JS interpreters. We're looking to replace the remaining uses of otto
soon though.
* log: delete RotatingFileHandler
We added this for the dashboard, which is gone now. The
handler never really worked well and had data race and file
handling issues.
* internal/debug: remove unused RotatingFileHandler setup code
* build: remove env.sh
This removes the dirty symlink-to-self hack we've had for years. The
script was added to enable building without GOPATH and did that job
reliably for all this time. We can remove the workaround because modern
Go supports building without GOPATH natively.
* Makefile: add GO111MODULE=on to environment
* internal/testlog: print file+line number of log call in test log
This changes the unit test logger to print the actual file and line
number of the logging call instead of "testlog.go:44".

Until this commit, when sending an RPC request that called `NewEVM`, a blank `vm.Config`
would be taken so as to set some options, based on the default configuration. If some extra
configuration switches were passed to the blockchain, those would be ignored.
This PR adds a function to get the config from the blockchain, and this is what is now used
for RPC calls.
Some subsequent changes need to be made, see https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/17955#pullrequestreview-182237244
for the details of the discussion.
