This PR adds a parameter to startup, --synctarget. The synctarget flag is a developer-flag, that can be useful in some scenarios as a replacement for a CL node. It defines a fixed block sync target:
geth --syncmode=full --synctarget=./block_15816882.hex_rlp
The --synctarget is only made available during syncmode=full
This PR fixes a regression causing snapshots not to be generated in "geth --import" mode. It also fixes the geth export command to be truly readonly, and adds a new test for geth export.
This update resolves an issue where StringSliceFlag would not be
rendered correctly in help output + mention that -H can be used multiple times

This PR makes it possible to set custom headers, in particular for two scenarios:
- geth attach
- geth commands which can use --remotedb, e..g geth db inspect
The ability to use custom headers is typically useful for connecting to cloud-apis, e.g. providing an infura- or alchemy key, or for that matter access-keys for environments behind cloudflare.

`geth dumpgenesis` currently does not respect the content of the data directory. Instead, it outputs the genesis block created by command-line flags. This PR fixes it to read the genesis from the database, if the database already exists.

This PR cleans up the configurations for pruner and snapshotter by passing a config struct.
And also, this PR disables the snapshot background generation if the chain is opened in "read-only" mode. The read-only mode is necessary in some cases. For example, we have a list of commands to open the etheruem node in "read-only" mode, like export-chain. In these cases, the snapshot background generation is non expected and should be banned explicitly.
This changes the CI build to store the git commit and date into package
internal/version instead of package main. Doing this essentially merges our
two ways of tracking the go-ethereum version into a single place, achieving
two objectives:
- Bad block reports, which use version.Info(), will now have the git commit
information even when geth is built in an environment such as
launchpad.net where git access is unavailable.
- For geth builds created by `go build ./cmd/geth` (i.e. not using `go run
build/ci.go install`), git information stored by the go tool is now used
in the p2p node name as well as in `geth version` and `geth
version-check`.

This adds a cache for block logs which is shared by all filters. The cache
size of is configurable using the `--cache.blocklogs` flag.

This change updates our urfave/cli dependency to the v2 branch of the library.
There are some Go API changes in cli v2:
- Flag values can now be accessed using the methods ctx.Bool,
ctx.Int, ctx.String, ... regardless of whether the flag is 'local' or
'global'.
- v2 has built-in support for flag categories. Our home-grown category
system is removed and the categories of flags are assigned as part of
the flag definition.
For users, there is only one observable difference with cli v2: flags must now
strictly appear before regular arguments. For example, the following command is
now invalid:
geth account import mykey.json --password file.txt
Instead, the command must be invoked as follows:
geth account import --password file.txt mykey.json
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.
In #24028 we flagged a warning when finding legacy receipts in the freezer. This PR nudges users a bit more strongly by preventing geth from starting in this case until receipts have been migrated.
It also adds a flag --ignore-legacy-receipts which when present allows geth to start normally.
This PR adds db tooling (geth db check-state-content) to verify the integrity of trie nodes. It iterates through the 32-byte key space in the database, which is expected to contain RLP-encoded trie nodes, addressed by hash.
Previously freezer has only been used for storing ancient chain data, while obviously it can be used more. This PR unties the chain data and freezer, keep the minimal freezer structure and move all other logic (like incrementally freezing block data) into a separate structure called ChainFreezer.
This PR also extends the database interface by adding a new ancient store function AncientDatadir which can return the root directory of ancient store. The ancient root directory can be used when we want to open some other ancient-stores (e.g. reverse diff freezer).
This PR groups all built-in network flags together and list them in the command as a whole.
And all database path flags(datadir, ancient) are also grouped, since usually these two are
used together.
This PR fixes the flaw that @rjl493456442 found in https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/#issuecomment-1093817551 , namely, that the snapshot iterator uses the combined (disk + difflayers) 'view', wheres the raw iterator uses only the disk 'view'.
This PR instead splits up the work: one phase is iterating the disk layer data, another phase is loading the journalled difflayers and performing the same check there.
