The price limit is supposed to exclude transactions with too low fee
amount. Before EIP-1559, it was sufficient to check the limit against
the gas price of the transaction. After 1559, it is more complicated
because the concept of 'transaction gas price' does not really exist.
When mining, the price limit is used to exclude transactions below a
certain effective fee amount. This change makes it apply the same check
earlier, in tx validation. Transactions below the specified fee amount
cannot enter the pool.
Fixes#23837
This PR offers two more database sub commands for exporting and importing data.
Two exporters are implemented: preimage and snapshot data respectively.
The import command is generic, it can take any data export and import into leveldb.
The data format has a 'magic' for disambiguation, and a version field for future compatibility.
It is because write known block only checks block and state without snapshot, which could lead to gap between newest snapshot and newest block state. However, new blocks which would cause snapshot to become fixed were ignored, since state was already known.

* core: write test showing that TD is not stored properly at genesis
The ToBlock method applies a default value for an empty
difficulty value. This default is not carried over through the Commit
method because the TotalDifficulty database write writes the
original difficulty value (nil) instead of the defaulty value
present on the genesis Block.

This removes some code:
- The clique engine calculated the snapshot twice when verifying headers/blocks.
- The method GetBlockHashesFromHash in Header/Block/Lightchain was only used by tests. It
is now removed from the API.
- The method GetTdByHash internally looked up the number before calling GetTd(hash, num).
In many cases, callers already had the number, and used this method just because it has a
shorter name. I have removed the method to make the API surface smaller.
This change removes misuses of sync.WaitGroup in BlockChain. Before this change,
block insertion modified the WaitGroup counter in order to ensure that Stop would wait
for pending operations to complete. This was racy and could even lead to crashes
if Stop was called at an unfortunate time. The issue is resolved by adding a specialized
'closable' mutex, which prevents chain modifications after stopping while also
synchronizing writers with each other.

This change introduces 2 new optional methods; `enter()` and `exit()` for js tracers, and makes `step()` optiona. The two new methods are invoked when entering and exiting a call frame (but not invoked for the outermost scope, which has it's own methods). Currently these are the data fields passed to each of them:
enter: type (opcode), from, to, input, gas, value
exit: output, gasUsed, error
The PR also comes with a re-write of the callTracer. As a backup we keep the previous tracing script under the name `callTracerLegacy`. Behaviour of both tracers are equivalent for the most part, although there are some small differences (improvements), where the new tracer is more correct / has more information.
This change is a rewrite of the freezer code.
When writing ancient chain data to the freezer, the previous version first encoded each
individual item to a temporary buffer, then wrote the buffer. For small item sizes (for
example, in the block hash freezer table), this strategy causes a lot of system calls for
writing tiny chunks of data. It also allocated a lot of temporary []byte buffers.
In the new version, we instead encode multiple items into a re-useable batch buffer, which
is then written to the file all at once. This avoids performing a system call for every
inserted item.
To make the internal batching work, the ancient database API had to be changed. While
integrating this new API in BlockChain.InsertReceiptChain, additional optimizations were
also added there.

When processing a transaction with London fork rules, EIP-1559 mandates
checking that the sender must have sufficient balance to cover gas * gasFeeCap.
In the EIP's pseudocode, this check happens after the value transferred by the
transaction has already been deducted. However, in go-ethereum, the balance
has not yet been updated when the check happens, and therefore needs to be
added explicitly.

The encoding of Log and LogForStorage is exactly the same
now. After tracking it down it seems like #17106 changed the
storage schema of logs to be the same as the consensus
encoding.
Support for the legacy format was dropped in #22852 and if
I'm not wrong there's no reason anymore to have these two
equivalent types.
Since the RLP encoding simply contains the first three fields
of Log, we can also avoid creating a temporary struct for
encoding/decoding, and use the rlp:"-" tag in Log instead.
Note: this is an API change in core/types. We decided it's OK
to make this change because LogForStorage is an implementation
detail of go-ethereum and the type has zero uses outside of
package core/types.

This change increases the cache size from 64 to 256 Mb for block bodies.
Benchmarks have shown this to be one bottleneck when trying to achieve
higher download speeds.
The commit also includes a minor optimization for header inserts in package
core: previously, the presence of headers in the database was checked for
every header before writing it. With the change, if one header fails the
presence check, all subsequent headers are also assumed to be missing.
This is an improvement because in practice, the headers are almost always
missing during sync.
Copy the CliqueConfig instead of reusing the pointer.
This makes DeveloperGenesisBlock thread safe and prevents it from
changing params.AllCliqueProtocolChanges.Clique.Epoch.

Previously, the makeCallVariantGasCallEIP2929 charged the cold account access cost directly, leading to an incorrect gas cost passed to the tracer from the main execution loop.
This change still temporarily charges the cost (to allow for an accurate calculation of the available gas for the call), but then afterwards refunds it and instead returns the correct total gas cost to be then properly charged in the main loop.
The Append / truncate operations were racy. When a datafile reaches 2Gb, a new file is needed. For this operation, we require a writelock, which is not needed in the 99.99% of all cases where the data does fit in the current head-file.
This transition from readlock to writelock was incorrect, and as the readlock was released, a truncate operation could slip in between, and truncate the data. This would have been fine, however, the Append operation continued writing as if no truncation had occurred, e.g writing item 5 where item 0 should reside.
This PR changes the behaviour, so that if when we run into the situation that a new file is needed, it aborts, and retries, this time with a writelock.
The outcome of the situation described above, running on this PR, would instead be that the Append operation exits with a failure.

The main idea behind it is: the range compaction is very expensive
which can take a few hours to finish. During this long procedure,
a lot of exceptions can occur, e.g.
- Geth is killed manually
- Geth is killed because of machine crash
- etc
In order to minimize the effect of the exceptions, the compaction
is moved out of the pruning. So that even the compaction is not
finished, the pruning is regarded as done.
Fixes the CaptureStart api to include the EVM, thus being able to set the statedb early on. This pr also exposes the struct we used internally in the interpreter to encapsulate the contract, mem, stack, rstack, so we pass it as a single struct to the tracer, and removes the error returns on the capture methods.
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 implements unclean shutdown marker. Every time geth boots, it adds a timestamp to a list of timestamps in the database. This list is capped at 10. At a clean shutdown, the timestamp is removed again.
Thus, when geth exits unclean, the marker remains, and at boot up we show the most recent unclean shutdowns to the user, which makes it easier to diagnose root-causes to certain problems.

A lot of times when we hit 'core' errors, example: invalid tx, the information provided is
insufficient. We miss several pieces of information: what account has nonce too high,
and what transaction in that block was offending?
This PR adds that information, using the new type of wrapped errors.
It also adds a testcase which (partly) verifies the output from the errors.
The first commit changes all usage of direct equality-checks on core errors, into
using errors.Is. The second commit adds contextual information. This wraps most
of the core errors with more information, and also wraps it one more time in
stateprocessor, to further provide tx index and tx hash, if such a tx is encoutered in
a block. The third commit uses the chainmaker to try to generate chains with such
errors in them, thus triggering the errors and checking that the generated string meets
expectations.

This PR contains a minor optimization in derivesha, by exposing the RLP
int-encoding and making use of it to write integers directly to a
buffer (an RLP integer is known to never require more than 9 bytes
total). rlp.AppendUint64 might be useful in other places too.
The code assumes, just as before, that the hasher (a trie) will copy the
key internally, which it does when doing keybytesToHex(key).

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.
