This change enables log rotation, which can be activated using the flag --log.rotate. Additional parameters that can be given are:
- log.maxsize to set maximum size before files are rotated,
- log.maxbackups to set how many files are retailed,
- log.maxage to configure max age of rotated files,
- log.compress whether to compress rotated files
The way to configure location of the logfile(s) is left unchanged, via the `log.logfile` parameter.

Here, the core.Message interface turns into a plain struct and
types.Message gets removed.
This is a breaking change to packages core and core/types. While we do
not promise API stability for package core, we do for core/types. An
exception can be made for types.Message, since it doesn't have any
purpose apart from invoking the state transition in package core.
types.Message was also marked deprecated by the same commit it
got added in, 4dca5d4db7 (November 2016).
The core.Message interface was added in December 2014, in commit
db494170dc, for the purpose of 'testing' state transitions. It's the
same change that made transaction struct fields private. Before that,
the state transition used *types.Transaction directly.
Over time, multiple implementations of the interface accrued across
different packages, since constructing a Message is required whenever
one wants to invoke the state transition. These implementations all
looked very similar, a struct with private fields exposing the fields
as accessor methods.
By changing Message into a struct with public fields we can remove all
these useless interface implementations. It will also hopefully
simplify future changes to the type with less updates to apply across
all of go-ethereum when a field is added to Message.

This change adds a struct field EffectiveGasPrice in types.Receipt. The field is present
in RPC responses, but not in the Go struct, and thus can't easily be accessed via ethclient.

Logs stored on disk have minimal information. Contextual information such as block
number, index of log in block, index of transaction in block are filled in upon request.
We can fill in all these fields only having the block header and list of receipts.
But determining the transaction hash of a log requires the block body.
The goal of this PR is postponing this retrieval until we are sure we the transaction hash.
It happens often that the header bloom filter signals there might be matches in a block,
but after actually checking them reveals the logs do not match. We want to avoid fetching
the body in this case.
Note that this changes the semantics of Backend.GetLogs. Downstream callers of
GetLogs now assume log context fields have not been derived, and need to call
DeriveFields on the logs if necessary.
The execution-apis specification says that the full list of withdrawals should always be returned when requesting a block over RPC:
378c4304f7/src/schemas/block.yaml (L90-L94)
This change adopts the expected behavior.
This change implements withdrawals as specified in EIP-4895.

This PR removes the notion of fakeStorage from the state objects, and instead, for any state modifications that are needed, it simply makes the changes.
This changes the StorageTrie method to return an error when the trie
is not available. It used to return an 'empty trie' in this case, but that's
not possible anymore under PBSS.
This PR makes it possible to modify the flush interval time via RPC. On one extreme, `0s`, it would act as an archive node. If set to `1h`, means that after one hour of effective block processing time, the trie would be flushed. If one block takes 200ms, this means that a flush would occur every `5*3600=18000` blocks -- however, if the memory size of the cached states grows too large, it will flush sooner.
Essentially, this makes it possible to configure the node to be more or less "archive:ish", and without restarting the node while reconfiguring it.
This removes an RPC test which takes > 90s to execute, and updates the
internal/guide tests to use lighter scrypt parameters.

This PR changes the pending tx subscription to return RPCTransaction types instead of normal Transaction objects. This will fix the inconsistencies with other tx returning API methods (i.e. getTransactionByHash), and also fill in the sender value for the tx.

This adds an option to direct log output to a file. This feature has been
requested a lot. It's sometimes useful to have this available when running
geth in an environment that doesn't easily allow redirecting the output.
Notably, there is no support for log rotation with this change. The --log.file option
opens the file once on startup and then keeps writing to the file handle.
This can become an issue when external log rotation tools are involved, so it's
best not to use them with this option for now.
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 change makes eth_getProof and eth_getStorageAt return an error when
the argument contains invalid hex in storage keys.

This changes the CI / release builds to use the latest Go version. It also
upgrades golangci-lint to a newer version compatible with Go 1.19.
In Go 1.19, godoc has gained official support for links and lists. The
syntax for code blocks in doc comments has changed and now requires a
leading tab character. gofmt adapts comments to the new syntax
automatically, so there are a lot of comment re-formatting changes in this
PR. We need to apply the new format in order to pass the CI lint stage with
Go 1.19.
With the linter upgrade, I have decided to disable 'gosec' - it produces
too many false-positive warnings. The 'deadcode' and 'varcheck' linters
have also been removed because golangci-lint warns about them being
unmaintained. 'unused' provides similar coverage and we already have it
enabled, so we don't lose much with this change.
Some small fixes to get the existing debug methods to conform to the spec. Mainly dropping the encoding information from the method name as it should be deduced from the debug context and allowing the method to be invoked by either block number or block hash. It also adds the method debug_getTransaction which returns the raw tx bytes by tx hash. This is pretty much equivalent to the eth_getRawTransactionByHash method.
This adds a cache for block logs which is shared by all filters. The cache
size of is configurable using the `--cache.blocklogs` flag.

Because the goal of eth_createAccessList is providing the caller with the largest-possible
access list, it's generally not important that the gas limit used by the tracer will match the usage
of the call exactly. Avoiding the gas estimation step is a performance improvement. As long as the
call does not branch based on gas limit, the returned access list will be accurate.

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.
This PR adds support for block overrides when doing debug_traceCall.
- Previously, debug_traceCall against pending erroneously used a common.Hash{} stateroot when looking up the state, meaning that a totally empty state was used -- so it always failed,
- With this change, we reject executing debug_traceCall against pending.
- And we add ability to override all evm-visible header fields.

This adds a tools.go file to import all command packages used for

This commit replaces ioutil.TempDir with t.TempDir in tests. The
directory created by t.TempDir is automatically removed when the test
and all its subtests complete.
Prior to this commit, temporary directory created using ioutil.TempDir
had to be removed manually by calling os.RemoveAll, which is omitted in
some tests. The error handling boilerplate e.g.
defer func() {
if err := os.RemoveAll(dir); err != nil {
t.Fatal(err)
}
}
is also tedious, but t.TempDir handles this for us nicely.

tx mentioned in the ticket, which agrees with etherscan.
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.

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.

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 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
