This PR adds a more CLI flag, so that the les-server can serve light clients even the local node is not synced yet.
This functionality is needed in some testing environments(e.g. hive). After launching the les server, no more blocks will be imported so the node is always marked as "non-synced".
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.
This moves the eth config definition into a separate package, eth/ethconfig.
Packages eth and les can now import this common package instead of
importing eth from les, reducing dependencies.

This change allows users to set a custom path prefix on which to mount the http-rpc

Removes the yolov2 definition, adds yolov3, including EIP-2565. This PR also disables some of the erroneously generated blockchain and statetests, and adds the new genesis hash + alloc for yolov3.
This PR disables the CLI switches for yolo, since it's not complete until we merge support for 2930.
Adding warnings of free disk space left and graceful shutdown when there is not enough space left.
This also adds a flag datadir.minfreedisk which can be used to set the trigger for low disk space, and setting it to zero disables the check.

USB enumeration still occured. Make sure it will only occur if --usb is set.
This also deprecates the 'NoUSB' config file option in favor of a new option 'USB'.
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.

* chaincmd should make config nodes instead of full nodes
* add documentation for using makeConfigNode instead of makeFullNode;
* add documentation to functions
* code style
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.
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.
The import command should not return a 0 status
code if the import finishes prematurely becaues
of an import error.
Returning the error causes the program to exit with 1
if the err is non nil.

Rather than just closing the underlying network listener to stop our
HTTP servers, use the graceful shutdown procedure, waiting for any
in-process requests to finish.
* 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 change makes it possible to run geth with JSON-RPC over HTTP and
WebSocket on the same TCP port. The default port for WebSocket
is still 8546.
geth --rpc --rpcport 8545 --ws --wsport 8545
This also removes a lot of deprecated API surface from package rpc.
The rpc package is now purely about serving JSON-RPC and no longer
provides a way to start an HTTP server.

Adds the 'geth dumpgenesis' command, which writes the configured
genesis in JSON format to stdout. This provides a way to generate the
data (structure and content) that can then be used with the 'geth init'
command.
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
This removes the dashboard project. The dashboard was an experimental
browser UI for geth which displayed metrics and chain information in
real time. We are removing it because it has marginal utility and nobody
on the team can maintain it.
Removing the dashboard removes a lot of dependency code and shaves
6 MB off the geth binary size.
This adds all dashboard changes from the last couple months.
We're about to remove the dashboard, but decided that we should
get all the recent work in first in case anyone wants to pick up this
project later on.

This makes the test wait for the endpoint to come up by polling
it instead of waiting for two seconds.

* build: remove workaround for ./... vendor matching
This workaround was necessary for Go 1.8. The Go 1.9 release changed
the expansion rules to exclude vendored packages.
* Makefile: use relative path for GOBIN
This makes the "Run ./build/bin/..." line look nicer.

Calling flag.Parse during package initialization is prohibited
as of Go 1.13 and causes test failures. Call it in TestMain instead.

This change
- implements concurrent LES request serving even for a single peer.
- replaces the request cost estimation method with a cost table based on
benchmarks which gives much more consistent results. Until now the
allowed number of light peers was just a guess which probably contributed
a lot to the fluctuating quality of available service. Everything related
to request cost is implemented in a single object, the 'cost tracker'. It
uses a fixed cost table with a global 'correction factor'. Benchmark code
is included and can be run at any time to adapt costs to low-level
implementation changes.
- reimplements flowcontrol.ClientManager in a cleaner and more efficient
way, with added capabilities: There is now control over bandwidth, which
allows using the flow control parameters for client prioritization.
Target utilization over 100 percent is now supported to model concurrent
request processing. Total serving bandwidth is reduced during block
processing to prevent database contention.
- implements an RPC API for the LES servers allowing server operators to
assign priority bandwidth to certain clients and change prioritized
status even while the client is connected. The new API is meant for
cases where server operators charge for LES using an off-protocol mechanism.
- adds a unit test for the new client manager.
- adds an end-to-end test using the network simulator that tests bandwidth
control functions through the new API.

This PR is replacing the metrics.influxdb.host.tag cmd-line flag with metrics.influxdb.tags - a comma-separated key/value tags, that are passed to the InfluxDB reporter, so that we can index measurements with multiple tags, and not just one host tag.
This will be useful for Swarm, where we want to index measurements not just with the host tag, but also with bzzkey and git commit version (for long-running deployments).

This patch updates the Address type in common/types.go so that the Hex
function provides an EIP55-compliant output string. The implementation is pretty lightweight;
on my laptop the benchmark gives 1100ns/op, with the majority of that value due to the Keccak hash.

With this commit, core/state's access to the underlying key/value database is
mediated through an interface. Database errors are tracked in StateDB and
returned by CommitTo or the new Error method.
Motivation for this change: We can remove the light client's duplicated copy of
core/state. The light client now supports node iteration, so tracing and storage
enumeration can work with the light client (not implemented in this commit).
Currently http cors and websocket origins are a comma separated string in the
config object. These are replaced with string arrays that are more expressive in
case of a config file.
* p2p/discover, p2p/discv5: add marshaling methods to Node
* p2p/netutil: make Netlist decodable from TOML
* common/math: encode nil HexOrDecimal256 as 0x0
* cmd/geth: add --config file flag
* cmd/geth: add missing license header
* eth: prettify Config again, fix tests
* eth: use gasprice.Config instead of duplicating its fields
* eth/gasprice: hide nil default from dumpconfig output
* cmd/geth: hide genesis block in dumpconfig output
* node: make tests compile
* console: fix tests
* cmd/geth: make TOML keys look exactly like Go struct fields
* p2p: use discovery by default
This makes the zero Config slightly more useful. It also fixes package
node tests because Node detects reuse of the datadir through the
NodeDatabase.
* cmd/geth: make ethstats URL settable through config file
* cmd/faucet: fix configuration
* cmd/geth: dedup attach tests
* eth: add comment for DefaultConfig
* eth: pass downloader.SyncMode in Config
This removes the FastSync, LightSync flags in favour of a more
general SyncMode flag.
* cmd/utils: remove jitvm flags
* cmd/utils: make mutually exclusive flag error prettier
It now reads:
Fatal: flags --dev, --testnet can't be used at the same time
* p2p: fix typo
* node: add DefaultConfig, use it for geth
* mobile: add missing NoDiscovery option
* cmd/utils: drop MakeNode
This exposed a couple of places that needed to be updated to use
node.DefaultConfig.
* node: fix typo
* eth: make fast sync the default mode
* cmd/utils: remove IPCApiFlag (unused)
* node: remove default IPC path
Set it in the frontends instead.
* cmd/geth: add --syncmode
* cmd/utils: make --ipcdisable and --ipcpath mutually exclusive
* cmd/utils: don't enable WS, HTTP when setting addr
* cmd/utils: fix --identity
This commit adds pluggable consensus engines to go-ethereum. In short, it
introduces a generic consensus interface, and refactors the entire codebase to
use this interface.
This commit solves several issues concerning the genesis block:
* Genesis/ChainConfig loading was handled by cmd/geth code. This left
library users in the cold. They could specify a JSON-encoded
string and overwrite the config, but didn't get any of the additional
checks performed by geth.
* Decoding and writing of genesis JSON was conflated in
WriteGenesisBlock. This made it a lot harder to embed the genesis
block into the forthcoming config file loader. This commit changes
things so there is a single Genesis type that represents genesis
blocks. All uses of Write*Genesis* are changed to use the new type
instead.
* If the chain config supplied by the user was incompatible with the
current chain (i.e. the chain had already advanced beyond a scheduled
fork), it got overwritten. This is not an issue in practice because
previous forks have always had the highest total difficulty. It might
matter in the future though. The new code reverts the local chain to
the point of the fork when upgrading configuration.
The change to genesis block data removes compression library
dependencies from package core.
