If monerod is started with default sync mode, set it to SAFE after
synchronization completes. Set it back to FAST if synchronization
restarts (e.g. because another peer has a longer blockchain).
If monerod is started with an explicit sync mode, none of this
automation takes effect.
Hide DB types from db_types.h - no reason to recompile dependencies
when DB types change.
Also remove lingering in-memory DB references, they've been
obsolete since 9e82b694da
When scanning for outputs used in a set of incoming blocks,
we expect that some of the inputs in their transactions will
not be found in the blockchain, as they could be in previous
blocks in that set. Those outputs will be scanned there at
a later point. In this case, we add a flag to control wehther
an output not being found is expected or not.
The recent change to not keep separate track of the blockchain
height caused the reported height to jump early in the lmdb
transaction (when the block data is added to the blocks table),
rather than at the end, after everything succeeded. Since the
block data is added before the transaction data, this caused
the transaction data to be saved with a height one more than
its expected value.
Fix this by saving the block data last. This should have no
side effects.
This replaces the epee and data_loggers logging systems with
a single one, and also adds filename:line and explicit severity
levels. Categories may be defined, and logging severity set
by category (or set of categories). epee style 0-4 log level
maps to a sensible severity configuration. Log files now also
rotate when reaching 100 MB.
To select which logs to output, use the MONERO_LOGS environment
variable, with a comma separated list of categories (globs are
supported), with their requested severity level after a colon.
If a log matches more than one such setting, the last one in
the configuration string applies. A few examples:
This one is (mostly) silent, only outputting fatal errors:
MONERO_LOGS=*:FATAL
This one is very verbose:
MONERO_LOGS=*:TRACE
This one is totally silent (logwise):
MONERO_LOGS=""
This one outputs all errors and warnings, except for the
"verify" category, which prints just fatal errors (the verify
category is used for logs about incoming transactions and
blocks, and it is expected that some/many will fail to verify,
hence we don't want the spam):
MONERO_LOGS=*:WARNING,verify:FATAL
Log levels are, in decreasing order of priority:
FATAL, ERROR, WARNING, INFO, DEBUG, TRACE
Subcategories may be added using prefixes and globs. This
example will output net.p2p logs at the TRACE level, but all
other net* logs only at INFO:
MONERO_LOGS=*:ERROR,net*:INFO,net.p2p:TRACE
Logs which are intended for the user (which Monero was using
a lot through epee, but really isn't a nice way to go things)
should use the "global" category. There are a few helper macros
for using this category, eg: MGINFO("this shows up by default")
or MGINFO_RED("this is red"), to try to keep a similar look
and feel for now.
Existing epee log macros still exist, and map to the new log
levels, but since they're used as a "user facing" UI element
as much as a logging system, they often don't map well to log
severities (ie, a log level 0 log may be an error, or may be
something we want the user to see, such as an important info).
In those cases, I tried to use the new macros. In other cases,
I left the existing macros in. When modifying logs, it is
probably best to switch to the new macros with explicit levels.
The --log-level options and set_log commands now also accept
category settings, in addition to the epee style log levels.

m_num_outputs keeps track of the number of outputs, which should
be the same as the size of both the output_txs and output_amounts
databases. If one goes out of sync, we need to throw to abort
whatever it is we were doing.
Add consts in a few places where it makes sense, avoid unnecessary
memory reallocation where we know the full size needed at the outset,
simplify and avoid memory copy.
25% of the outputs are selected from the last 5 days (if possible),
in order to avoid the common case of sending recently received
outputs again. 25% and 5 days are subject to review later, since
it's just a wallet level change.
Keep the immediate direct deps at the library that depends on them,
declare deps as PUBLIC so that targets that link against that library
get the library's deps as transitive deps.
Break dep cycle between blockchain_db <-> crytonote_core.
No code refactoring, just hide cycle from cmake so that
it doesn't complain (cycles are allowed only between
static libs, not shared libs).
This is in preparation for supproting BUILD_SHARED_LIBS cmake
built-in option for building internal libs as shared.
Since this queries block heights for blocks that may or may not
exist, queries for non existing blocks would throw an exception,
and that would slow down the loop a lot. 7 seconds to go through
a 30 hash list.
Fix this by adding an optional return block height to block_exists
and using this instead. Actual errors will still throw an
exception.
This also cuts down on log exception spam.
When RingCT is enabled, outputs from coinbase transactions
are created as a single output, and stored as RingCT output,
with a fake mask. Their amount is not hidden on the blockchain
itself, but they are then able to be used as fake inputs in
a RingCT ring. Since the output amounts are hidden, their
"dustiness" is not an obstacle anymore to mixing, and this
makes the coinbase transactions a lot smaller, as well as
helping the TXO set to grow more slowly.
Also add a new "Null" type of rct signature, which decreases
the size required when no signatures are to be stored, as
in a coinbase tx.
Since these are needed at the same time as the output pubkeys,
this is a whole lot faster, and takes less space. Only outputs
of 0 amount store the commitment. When reading other outputs,
a fake commitment is regenerated on the fly. This avoids having
to rewrite the database to add space for fake commitments for
existing outputs.
This code relies on two things:
- LMDB must support fixed size records per key, rather than
per database (ie, all records on key 0 are the same size, all
records for non 0 keys are same size, but records from key 0
and non 0 keys do have different sizes).
- the commitment must be directly after the rest of the data
in outkey and output_data_t.
This constrains the number of instances of any amount
to the unlocked ones (as defined by the default unlock time
setting: outputs with non default unlock time are not
considered, so may be counted as unlocked even if they are
not actually unlocked).
It sets the max number of threads to use for a parallel job.
This is different that the number of total threads, since monero
binaries typically start a lot of them.
Also bumped DB VERSION to 1
Another significant speedup and space savings:
Get rid of global_output_indices, remove indirection from output to keys
This is the change warptangent described on irc but never got to finish.
This speeds up wallet refresh by directly retrieving a tx's amount output indices.
It removes the indirection and walking the amount output duplicate list
for every amount in each requested tx.
"tx_outputs" is used by:
Amount output indices are needed for wallet refresh.
Global output indices are needed for removing a tx.
Both amount output indices and global output indices are now stored in
an array of 64-bit unsigned ints:
tx_outputs[<tx_hash>] -> [ <a1_oi, a1_gi, a2_oi, a2_gi, ...> ]
Previously it was:
tx_outputs[<tx_hash>] -> duplicate list of <a1_gi, a2_gi, a3_gi, ...>
The amount output list had to be walked for every amount in order to
find each amount's output index, by comparing the amount's global output
index with each one in the duplicate list until a match was found.
See also d045dfa7ce
This is a list of existing output amounts along with the number
of outputs of that amount in the blockchain.
The daemon command takes:
- no parameters: all outputs with at least 3 instances
- one parameter: all outputs with at least that many instances
- two parameters: all outputs within that many instances
The default starts at 3 to avoid massive spamming of all dust
outputs in the blockchain, and is the current minimum mixin
requirement.
An optional vector of amounts may be passed, to request
histogram only for those outputs.

When keys are contiguous and monotonically increasing, this gets
denser page utilization (doesn't leave padding in page splits).
Can't be used for keys that are inserted in random order (e.g. hashes)
In total this only saves around 1.5% of space compared to original
DB code. The previous patch accounted for 0.8% savings on its own;
the blocks tables just aren't that big.

Add another DB error exception type to distinguish failed txn setup from

This keeps the error handling flow the same as before the block-level
txn setup changes that moved control up a layer to BlockchainDB.
This improves blockchain reorganization time by allowing one of the more
expensive DB lookups when popping a block to not have to seek through a
long dup list in the "output_amounts" db. This is most noticeable for
HDDs.
