This pull request improves error handling for local transaction submissions.
Specifically, if a transaction fails with a temporary error but might be
accepted later, the error will not be returned to the user; instead, the
transaction will be tracked locally for resubmission.
However, if the transaction fails with a permanent error (e.g., invalid
transaction or insufficient balance), the error will be propagated to the user.
These errors returned in the legacyPool are regarded as temporary failure:
- `ErrOutOfOrderTxFromDelegated`
- `txpool.ErrInflightTxLimitReached`
- `ErrAuthorityReserved`
- `txpool.ErrUnderpriced`
- `ErrTxPoolOverflow`
- `ErrFutureReplacePending`
Notably, InsufficientBalance is also treated as a permanent error, as
it’s highly unlikely that users will transfer funds into the sender account
after submitting the transaction. Otherwise, users may be confused—seeing
their transaction submitted but unaware that the sender lacks sufficient funds—and
continue waiting for it to be included.

This is an attempt at fixing #31601. I think what happens is the startup
logic will try to get the full block body (it's `bc.loadLastState`) and
fail because genesis block has been pruned from the freezer. This will
cause it to keep repeating the reset logic, causing a deadlock.
This can happen when due to an unsuccessful sync we don't have the state
for the head (or any other state) fully, and try to redo the snap sync.

This pull request introduces two constraints in the blobPool:
(a) If the sender has a pending authorization or delegation, only one
in-flight
executable transaction can be cached.
(b) If the authority address in a SetCode transaction is already
reserved by
the blobPool, the transaction will be rejected.
These constraints mitigate an attack where an attacker spams the pool
with
numerous blob transactions, evicts other transactions, and then cancels
all
pending blob transactions by draining the sender’s funds if they have a
delegation.
Note, because there is no exclusive lock held between different subpools
when processing transactions, it's totally possible the SetCode
transaction
and blob transactions with conflict sender and authorities are accepted
simultaneously. I think it's acceptable as it's very hard to be
exploited.

This is an alternative to #31309
With eth/68, transaction announcement must have transaction type and
size. So in announceTransactions, we need to query the transaction from
transaction pool with its hash. This creates overhead in case of blob
transaction which needs to load data from billy and RLP decode. This
commit creates a lightweight lookup from transaction hash to transaction
size and a function GetMetadata to query transaction type and
transaction size given the transaction hash.

Currently, when answering GetPooledTransaction request, txpool.Get() is
used. When the requested hash is blob transaction, blobpool.Get() is
called. This function loads the RLP-encoded transaction from limbo then
decodes and returns. Later, in answerGetPooledTransactions, we need to
RLP encode again. This decode then encode is wasteful. This commit adds
GetRLP to transaction pool interface so that answerGetPooledTransactions
can use the RLP-encoded from limbo directly.

In transaction-sending APIs such as `eth_sendRawTransaction`, a submitted transaction
failing the configured txpool validation rules (i.e. fee too low) would cause an error to be
returned, even though the transaction was successfully added into the locals tracker.
Once added there, the transaction may even be included into the chain at a later time,
when fee market conditions change.
This change improves on this by performing the validation in the locals tracker, basically
skipping some of the validation rules for local transactions. We still try to add the tx to the
main pool immediately, but an error will only be returned for transactions which are
fundamentally invalid.

Replaces #29297, descendant from #27535

This PR removes `locals` as a concept from transaction pools. Therefore,
the pool now acts as very a good simulation/approximation of how our
peers' pools behave. What this PR does instead, is implement a
locals-tracker, which basically is a little thing which, from time to
time, asks the pool "did you forget this transaction?". If it did, the
tracker resubmits it.
If the txpool _had_ forgotten it, chances are that the peers had also
forgotten it. It will be propagated again.
Doing this change means that we can simplify the pool internals, quite a
lot.
### The semantics of `local`
Historically, there has been two features, or usecases, that has been
combined into the concept of `locals`.
1. "I want my local node to remember this transaction indefinitely, and
resubmit to the network occasionally"
2. "I want this (valid) transaction included to be top-prio for my
miner"
This PR splits these features up, let's call it `1: local` and `2:
prio`. The `prio` is not actually individual transaction, but rather a
set of `address`es to prioritize.
The attribute `local` means it will be tracked, and `prio` means it will
be prioritized by miner.
For `local`: anything transaction received via the RPC is marked as
`local`, and tracked by the tracker.
For `prio`: any transactions from this sender is included first, when
building a block. The existing commandline-flag `--txpool.locals` sets
the set of `prio` addresses.

This PR modifies how the metrics library handles `Enabled`: previously,
the package `init` decided whether to serve real metrics or just
dummy-types.
This has several drawbacks:
- During pkg init, we need to determine whether metrics are enabled or
not. So we first hacked in a check if certain geth-specific
commandline-flags were enabled. Then we added a similar check for
geth-env-vars. Then we almost added a very elaborate check for
toml-config-file, plus toml parsing.
- Using "real" types and dummy types interchangeably means that
everything is hidden behind interfaces. This has a performance penalty,
and also it just adds a lot of code.
This PR removes the interface stuff, uses concrete types, and allows for
the setting of Enabled to happen later. It is still assumed that
`metrics.Enable()` is invoked early on.
The somewhat 'heavy' operations, such as ticking meters and exp-decay,
now checks the enable-flag to prevent resource leak.
The change may be large, but it's mostly pretty trivial, and from the
last time I gutted the metrics, I ensured that we have fairly good test
coverage.

This adds an API method `DropTransactions` to legacy pool, blob pool and
txpool interface. This method removes all txs currently tracked in the
pools.
It modifies the simulated beacon to use the new method in `Rollback`
which removes previous hacky implementation that also erroneously reset
the gas tip to 1 gwei.

Reverts ethereum/go-ethereum#30495
You are free to create a proper Clear method if that's the best way. But
one that does a proper cleanup, not some hacky call to set gas which
screws up logs, metrics and everything along the way. Also doesn't work
for legacy pool local transactions.
The current code had a hack in the simulated code, now we have a hack in
live txpooling code. No, that's not acceptable. I want the live code to
be proper, meaningful API, meaningful comments, meaningful
implementation.
Here we move the method that drops all transactions by temporarily increasing the fee
into the TxPool itself. It's better to have it there because we can set it back to the
configured value afterwards. This resolves a TODO in the simulated backend.
This change makes the legacy transaction pool use of `uint256.Int` instead of `big.Int`. The changes are made primarily only on the internal functions of legacypool.

This PR fixes an issues in the new simulated backend. The root cause is the fact that the transaction pool has an internal reset operation that runs on a background thread.
When a new transaction is added to the pool via the RPC, the transaction is added to a non-executable queue and will be moved to its final location on a background thread. If the machine is overloaded (or simply due to timing issues), it can happen that the simulated backend will try to produce the next block, whilst the pool has not yet marked the newly added transaction executable. This will cause the block to not contain the transaction. This is an issue because we want determinism from the simulator: add a tx, mine a block. It should be in there.
The PR fixes it by adding a Sync function to the txpool, which waits for the current reset operation (if any) to finish, and then runs an entire round of reset on top. The new round is needed because resets are only triggered by new head events, so newly added transactions will not trigger the outer resets that we can wait on. The transaction pool would eventually internally do a reset even on transaction addition, but there's no easy way to wait on that and there's no meaningful reason to bubble that across everything. A clean outer reset will at worse be a small noop goroutine.
This PR removes the newly added txpool.Transaction wrapper type, and instead adds a way
of keeping the blob sidecar within types.Transaction. It's better this way because most
code in go-ethereum does not care about blob transactions, and probably never will. This
will start mattering especially on the client side of RPC, where all APIs are based on
types.Transaction. Users need to be able to use the same signing flows they already
have.
However, since blobs are only allowed in some places but not others, we will now need to
add checks to avoid creating invalid blocks. I'm still trying to figure out the best place
to do some of these. The way I have it currently is as follows:
- In block validation (import), txs are verified not to have a blob sidecar.
- In miner, we strip off the sidecar when committing the transaction into the block.
- In TxPool validation, txs must have a sidecar to be added into the blobpool.
- Note there is a special case here: when transactions are re-added because of a chain
reorg, we cannot use the transactions gathered from the old chain blocks as-is,
because they will be missing their blobs. This was previously handled by storing the
blobs into the 'blobpool limbo'. The code has now changed to store the full
transaction in the limbo instead, but it might be confusing for code readers why we're
not simply adding the types.Transaction we already have.
Code changes summary:
- txpool.Transaction removed and all uses replaced by types.Transaction again
- blobpool now stores types.Transaction instead of defining its own blobTx format for storage
- the blobpool limbo now stores types.Transaction instead of storing only the blobs
- checks to validate the presence/absence of the blob sidecar added in certain critical places

Prior to this change, it was possible that transactions are erroneously deemed as 'future' although they are in fact 'pending', causing them to be dropped due to 'future' not being allowed to replace 'pending'.
This change fixes that, by doing a more in-depth inspection of the queue.
Currently, most of transaction validation while holding the txpool mutex: one exception being an early-on signature check.
This PR changes that, so that we do all non-stateful checks before we entering the mutex area. This means they can be performed in parallel, and to enable that, certain fields have been made atomic bools and uint64.
This adds two new rules to the transaction pool:
- A future transaction can not evict a pending transaction.
- A transaction can not overspend available funds of a sender.

This PR changes the API so that uint64 is used for fork timestamps.
It's a good choice because types.Header also uses uint64 for time.
