when runReorg, we may copy the dirtyAccounts' accountSet cache to promoteAddrs
in which accounts will be promoted, however, if we have reset request at the
same time, we may reuse promoteAddrs and modify the cache content which is
against the original intention of accountSet cache. So, we need to make a new
slice here to avoid modify accountSet cache.

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 replaces the two-stage shutdown scheme with the one we
use almost everywhere else: a single quit channel signalling
termination.

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 change further improves the performance of RLP encoding by removing
allocations for big.Int and [...]byte types. I have added a new benchmark
that measures RLP encoding of types.Block to verify that performance is
improved.

This change reduces the allocations needed for comparing different transactions to each other.
A call to `tx.GasPrice()` copies the gas price as it has to be safe against modifications and
also needs to be threadsafe. For comparing and ordering different transactions we don't need
these guarantees

* core/vm: fix incorrect computation of discount
During testing on Yolov1 we found that the way geth calculates the discount
is not in line with the specification. Basically what we did is calculate

of values. Correct would be to calculate k * Bls12381... for k > 128.

The ancients variable in the freezer is a list of hashes, which
identifies all of the hashes to be frozen. The slice is being allocated
with a capacity of `limit`, which is the number of the last block
this batch will attempt to add to the freezer. That means we are
allocating memory for all of the blocks in the freezer, not just
the ones to be added.
If instead we allocate `limit - f.frozen`, we will only allocate
enough space for the blocks we're about to add to the freezer. On
mainnet this reduces usage by about 320 MB.

Once we detect an invalid transaction during recovering signatures, we should
directly exclude this transaction to avoid validating the signatures hereafter.
This should optimize the validations times of transactions with invalid signatures
to only one time.
This adds a new API method on core.BlockChain to allow interrupting
running data inserts, and calls the method before shutting down the
downloader.
The BlockChain interrupt checks are now done through a method instead
of inlining the atomic load everywhere. There is no loss of efficiency from
this and it makes the interrupt protocol a lot clearer because the check is
defined next to the method that sets the flag.
This PR reimplements the light client server pool. It is also a first step
to move certain logic into a new lespay package. This package will contain
the implementation of the lespay token sale functions, the token buying and
selling logic and other components related to peer selection/prioritization
and service quality evaluation. Over the long term this package will be
reusable for incentivizing future protocols.
Since the LES peer logic is now based on enode.Iterator, it can now use
DNS-based fallback discovery to find servers.
This document describes the function of the new components:

* core/rawdb: Stop freezer process as part of freezer.Close()
When you call db.Close(), it was closing the leveldb database first,
then closing the freezer, but never stopping the freezer process.
This could cause the freezer to attempt to write to leveldb after
leveldb had been closed, leading to a crash with a non-zero exit code.
This change adds a quit channel to the freezer, and freezer.Close()
will not return until the freezer process has stopped.
Additionally, when you call freezerdb.Close(), it will close the
AncientStore before closing leveldb, to ensure that the freezer goroutine
will be stopped before leveldb is closed.

This is a resubmit of #20668 which rewrites the problematic test
without any additional goroutines. It also documents the test better.
The purpose of this test is checking whether log events are sent
correctly when importing blocks. The test was written at a time when
blockchain events were delivered asynchronously, making the check hard
to pull off. Now that core.BlockChain delivers events synchronously
during the call to InsertChain, the test can be simplified.

* 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

* eth: improve shutdown synchronization
Most goroutines started by eth.Ethereum didn't have any shutdown sync at
all, which lead to weird error messages when quitting the client.
This change improves the clean shutdown path by stopping all internal
components in dependency order and waiting for them to actually be
stopped before shutdown is considered done. In particular, we now stop
everything related to peers before stopping 'resident' parts such as
core.BlockChain.

This PR fixes issues in TableDatabase.
TableDatabase is a wrapper of underlying ethdb.Database with an additional prefix.
The prefix is applied to all entries it maintains. However when we try to retrieve entries
from it we don't handle the key properly. In theory the prefix should be truncated and
only user key is returned. But we don't do it in some cases, e.g. the iterator and batch
replayer created from it. So this PR is the fix to these issues.

Incrementing PC by 5 is only correct if the label appears after a jump,
in which case there is an implicit push. When it appears after an explicit
push, PC should only be incremented by 4.
* core/asm: Allow JUMP with no argument
This way, a label can be pushed explicitly, or loaded from memory to
implement a jump table.
When we flush a batch of trie nodes into database during the state
sync, we should guarantee that all children should be flushed before
parent.
Actually the trie nodes commit order is strict by: children -> parent.
But when we flush all ready nodes into db, we don't need the order
anymore since
(1) they are all ready nodes (no more dependency)
(2) underlying database provides write atomicity
The precompile at 0x09 wraps the BLAKE2b F compression function:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7693#section-3.2
The precompile requires 6 inputs tightly encoded, taking exactly 213
bytes, as explained below.
- `rounds` - the number of rounds - 32-bit unsigned big-endian word
- `h` - the state vector - 8 unsigned 64-bit little-endian words
- `m` - the message block vector - 16 unsigned 64-bit little-endian words
- `t_0, t_1` - offset counters - 2 unsigned 64-bit little-endian words
- `f` - the final block indicator flag - 8-bit word
[4 bytes for rounds][64 bytes for h][128 bytes for m][8 bytes for t_0]
[8 bytes for t_1][1 byte for f]
The boolean `f` parameter is considered as `true` if set to `1`.
The boolean `f` parameter is considered as `false` if set to `0`.
All other values yield an invalid encoding of `f` error.
The precompile should compute the F function as specified in the RFC
(https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7693#section-3.2) and return the updated
state vector `h` with unchanged encoding (little-endian).
See EIP-152 for details.
* graphql, internal/ethapi: extend eth_call
This PR offers the third option parameter for eth_call API.
Caller can specify a batch of contracts for overriding the

prefix, while current gas costs retain the unprefixed names. The actual
precompile implementations are the same, so they are factored out into
common functions that are called by the pre-Istanbul and current
precompile structs. Finally, an Istanbul precompile list is added that
references the new precompile structs, which in turn reference the new
gas costs.

This PR adds some hardening in the lower levels of the protocol stack, to bail early on invalid data. Primarily, attacks that this PR protects against are on the "annoyance"-level, which would otherwise write a couple of megabytes of data into the log output, which is a bit resource intensive.
This PR fixes an issue in chain indexer. Currently chain indexer will
validate whether the stored data is canonical by comparing section head
and canonical hash. But the header of the checkpoint may not exist in
the database. We should skip validation for sections below the
checkpoint.

* core: move TxPool reorg and events to background goroutine
This change moves internal queue re-shuffling work in TxPool to a
background goroutine, TxPool.runReorg. Requests to execute runReorg are
accumulated by the new scheduleReorgLoop. The new loop also accumulates
transaction events.
The motivation for this change is making sends to txFeed synchronous
instead of sending them in one-off goroutines launched by 'add' and
'promoteExecutables'. If a downstream consumer of txFeed is blocked for
a while, reorg requests and events will queue up.
* core: remove homestead check in TxPool
This change removes tracking of the homestead block number from TxPool.
The homestead field was used to enforce minimum gas of 53000 for
contract creations after the homestead fork, but not before it. Since
nobody would want configure a non-homestead chain nowadays and contract
creations usually take more than 53000 gas, the extra correctness is
redundant and can be removed.

Transaction hashes now store a reference to their corresponding
block number as opposed to their hash. In benchmarks this was
shown to reduce storage by over 12 GB.
The main limitation of this approach is that transactions on
non-canonical blocks could never be looked up, however that is
currently not supported.
The database version has been upgraded to version 5 and the
transaction lookup process is backwards-compatible with the
prior two transaction lookup formats prexisting in the
database instance. Tests have been added to ensure this.
* core/rawdb: tiny review nit fixes
This PR makes it easy to generate and execute testcases for VM arithmetic operations. By enabling and running the testcase TestWriteExpectedValues, a set of json files are created which contain input and output for each arith operation.
The test TestJsonTestcases executes all of those tests.
While meaningless as is, this PR makes it less risky to make changes (optimizations) to the vm operations, since there will be a larger body of testcases.
This PR is a more advanced form of the dirty-to-clean cacher (#18995),
where we reuse previous database write batches as datasets to uncache,
saving a dirty-trie-iteration and a dirty-trie-rlp-reencoding per block.

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.
