time.After is equivalent to NewTimer(d).C, and does not call Stop if the timer is no longer needed. This can cause memory leaks. This change changes many such occations to use NewTimer instead, and calling Stop once the timer is no longer needed.
This PR replaces Geth's logger package (a fork of [log15](https://github.com/inconshreveable/log15)) with an implementation using slog, a logging library included as part of the Go standard library as of Go1.21.
Main changes are as follows:
* removes any log handlers that were unused in the Geth codebase.
* Json, logfmt, and terminal formatters are now slog handlers.
* Verbosity level constants are changed to match slog constant values. Internal translation is done to make this opaque to the user and backwards compatible with existing `--verbosity` and `--vmodule` options.
* `--log.backtraceat` and `--log.debug` are removed.
The external-facing API is largely the same as the existing Geth logger. Logger method signatures remain unchanged.
A small semantic difference is that a `Handler` can only be set once per `Logger` and not changed dynamically. This just means that a new logger must be instantiated every time the handler of the root logger is changed.

For users of the `go-ethereum/log` module. If you were using this module for your own project, you will need to change the initialization. If you previously did
```golang
log.Root().SetHandler(log.LvlFilterHandler(log.LvlInfo, log.StreamHandler(os.Stderr, log.TerminalFormat(true))))
```
You now instead need to do
```golang
log.SetDefault(log.NewLogger(log.NewTerminalHandlerWithLevel(os.Stderr, log.LevelInfo, true)))
```

a little copying is better than a little dependency

We have this dependency on docker, a.k.a moby: a gigantic library, and we only need ~70 LOC,
so here I tried moving it inline instead.

Here we add special handling for sending an error response when the write timeout of the
HTTP server is just about to expire. This is surprisingly difficult to get right, since is
must be ensured that all output is fully flushed in time, which needs support from
multiple levels of the RPC handler stack:
The timeout response can't use chunked transfer-encoding because there is no way to write
the final terminating chunk. net/http writes it when the topmost handler returns, but the
timeout will already be over by the time that happens. We decided to disable chunked
encoding by setting content-length explicitly.
Gzip compression must also be disabled for timeout responses because we don't know the
true content-length before compressing all output, i.e. compression would reintroduce
chunked transfer-encoding.
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.
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 change makes use of the new code generator rlp/rlpgen to improve the
performance of RLP encoding for Header and StateAccount. It also speeds up
encoding of ReceiptForStorage using the new rlp.EncoderBuffer API.
The change is much less transparent than I wanted it to be, because Header and
StateAccount now have an EncodeRLP method defined with pointer receiver. It
used to be possible to encode non-pointer values of these types, but the new
method prevents that and attempting to encode unadressable values (even if
part of another value) will return an error. The error can be surprising and may
pop up in places that previously didn't expect any errors.
To make things work, I also needed to update all code paths (mostly in unit tests)
that lead to encoding of non-pointer values, and pass a pointer instead.

Some benchmarks in eth/filters were not good: they weren't reproducible, relying on geth chaindata to be present.
Another one was rejected because the receipt was lacking a backing transcation.
The p2p simulation benchmark had a lot of the warnings below, due to the framework calling both
Stop() and Close(). Apparently, the simulated adapter is the only implementation which has a Close(),
and there is no need to call both Stop and Close on it.
USB enumeration still occured. Make sure it will only occur if --usb is set.
This also deprecates the 'NoUSB' config file option in favor of a new option 'USB'.
- Remove the ws:// prefix from the status endpoint since
the ws:// is already included in the stack.WSEndpoint().
- Don't register the services again in the node start.
Registration is already done in the initialization stage.
- Expose admin namespace via websocket.
This namespace is necessary for connecting the peers via websocket.
- Offer logging relevant options for exec adapter.
It's really painful to mix all log output in the single console. So
this PR offers two additional options for exec adapter in this case
testers can config the log output(e.g. file output) and log level
for each p2p node.
This adds a few tiny fixes for les and the p2p simulation framework:
LES Parts
- Keep the LES-SERVER connection even it's non-synced
We had this idea to reject the connections in LES protocol if the les-server itself is
not synced. However, in LES protocol we will also receive the connection from another
les-server. In this case even the local node is not synced yet, we should keep the tcp
connection for other protocols(e.g. eth protocol).
- Don't count "invalid message" for non-existing GetBlockHeadersMsg request
In the eth syncing mechanism (full sync, fast sync, light sync), it will try to fetch
some non-existent blocks or headers(to ensure we indeed download all the missing chain).
In this case, it's possible that the les-server will receive the request for
non-existent headers. So don't count it as the "invalid message" for scheduling
dropping.
- Copy the announce object in the closure
Before the les-server pushes the latest headers to all connected clients, it will create
a closure and queue it in the underlying request scheduler. In some scenarios it's
problematic. E.g, in private networks, the block can be mined very fast. So before the
first closure is executed, we may already update the latest_announce object. So actually
the "announce" object we want to send is replaced.
The downsize is the client will receive two announces with the same td and then drop the
server.
P2P Simulation Framework
- Don't double register the protocol services in p2p-simulation "Start".
The protocols upon the devp2p are registered in the "New node stage". So don't reigster
them again when starting a node in the p2p simulation framework
- Add one more new config field "ExternalSigner", in order to use clef service in the
framework.
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.
