This pull request tracks the state indexing progress in eth_syncing
RPC response, i.e. we will return non-null syncing status until indexing
has finished.
This changes the API backend to return null for not-found blocks. This behavior
is required by the RPC When `BlockByNumberOrHash` always returned an error
for this case ever since being added in https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/19491.
The backend method has a couple of call sites, and all of them handle a `nil`
block result because `BlockByNumber` returns `nil` for not-found.
The only case where this makes a real difference is for `eth_getBlockReceipts`,
which was changed in #31361 to actually forward the error from `BlockByNumberOrHash`
to the caller.
Fixes https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/issues/31732.
This logic was removed in the recent refactoring in the txindexer to
handle history cutoff (#31393). It was first introduced in this PR:
https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/28908.
I have tested it and it works as an alternative to #31745.
This PR packs 3 changes to the flow of fetching txs from the API:
- It caches the indexer tail after each run is over to avoid hitting the
db all the time as was done originally in #28908.
- Changes `backend.GetTransaction`. It doesn't return an error anymore
when tx indexer is in progress. It shifts the responsibility to the
caller to check the progress. The reason is that in most cases we anyway
check the txpool for the tx. If it was indeed a pending tx we can avoid
the indexer progress check.

This PR changes the chain view update mechanism of the log filter.
Previously the head updates were all wired through the indexer, even in
unindexed mode. This was both a bit weird and also unsafe as the
indexer's chain view was updates asynchronously with some delay, making
some log related tests flaky. Also, the reorg safety of the indexed
search was integrated with unindexed search in a weird way, relying on
`syncRange.ValidBlocks` in the unindexed case too, with a special
condition added to only consider the head of the valid range but not the
tail in the unindexed case.
In this PR the current chain view is directly accessible through the
filter backend and unindexed search is also chain view based, making it
inherently safe. The matcher sync mechanism is now only used for indexed
search as originally intended, removing a few ugly special conditions.
The PR is currently based on top of
https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/31642
Together they fix https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/issues/31518
and replace https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/31542

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.

I added the history mode configuration in eth/ethconfig initially, since
it seemed like the logical place. But it turns out we need access to the
intended pruning setting at a deeper level, and it actually needs to be
integrated with the blockchain startup procedure.
With this change applied, if a node previously had its history pruned,
and is subsequently restarted **without** the `--history.chain
postmerge` flag, the `BlockChain` initialization code will now verify
the freezer tail against the known pruning point of the predefined
network and will restore pruning status. Note that this logic is quite
restrictive, we allow non-zero tail only for known networks, and only
for the specific pruning point that is defined.
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.

The total difficulty is the sum of all block difficulties from genesis
to a certain block. This value was used in PoW for deciding which chain
is heavier, and thus which chain to select. Since PoS has a different
fork selection algorithm, all blocks since the merge have a difficulty
of 0, and all total difficulties are the same for the past 2 years.
Whilst the TDs are mostly useless nowadays, there was never really a
reason to mess around removing them since they are so tiny. This
reasoning changes when we go down the path of pruned chain history. In
order to reconstruct any TD, we **must** retrieve all the headers from
chain head to genesis and then iterate all the difficulties to compute
the TD.
In a world where we completely prune past chain segments (bodies,
receipts, headers), it is not possible to reconstruct the TD at all. In
a world where we still keep chain headers and prune only the rest,
reconstructing it possible as long as we process (or download) the chain
forward from genesis, but trying to snap sync the head first and
backfill later hits the same issue, the TD becomes impossible to
calculate until genesis is backfilled.
All in all, the TD is a messy out-of-state, out-of-consensus computed
field that is overall useless nowadays, but code relying on it forces
the client into certain modes of operation and prevents other modes or
other optimizations. This PR completely nukes out the TD from the node.
It doesn't compute it, it doesn't operate on it, it's as if it didn't
even exist.
Caveats:
- Whenever we have APIs that return TD (devp2p handshake, tracer, etc.)
we return a TD of 0.
- For era files, we recompute the TD during export time (fairly quick)
to retain the format content.
- It is not possible to "verify" the merge point (i.e. with TD gone, TTD
is useless). Since we're not verifying PoW any more, just blindly trust
it, not verifying but blindly trusting the many year old merge point
seems just the same trust model.
- Our tests still need to be able to generate pre and post merge blocks,
so they need a new way to split the merge without TTD. The PR introduces
a settable ttdBlock field on the consensus object which is used by tests
as the block where originally the TTD happened. This is not needed for
live nodes, we never want to generate old blocks.
- One merge transition consensus test was disabled. With a
non-operational TD, testing how the client reacts to TTD is useless, it
cannot react.
Questions:
- Should we also drop total terminal difficulty from the genesis json?
It's a number we cannot react on any more, so maybe it would be cleaner
to get rid of even more concepts.

This pull request refactors the EVM constructor by removing the
TxContext parameter.
The EVM object is frequently overused. Ideally, only a single EVM
instance should be created and reused throughout the entire state
transition of a block, with the transaction context switched as needed
by calling evm.SetTxContext.
Unfortunately, in some parts of the code, the EVM object is repeatedly
created, resulting in unnecessary complexity. This pull request is the
first step towards gradually improving and simplifying this setup.

Here we add a Go API for running tracing plugins within the main block import process.
As an advanced user of geth, you can now create a Go file in eth/tracers/live/, and within
that file register your custom tracer implementation. Then recompile geth and select your tracer
on the command line. Hooks defined in the tracer will run whenever a block is processed.
The hook system is defined in package core/tracing. It uses a struct with callbacks, instead of
requiring an interface, for several reasons:
- We plan to keep this API stable long-term. The core/tracing hook API does not depend on
on deep geth internals.
- There are a lot of hooks, and tracers will only need some of them. Using a struct allows you
to implement only the hooks you want to actually use.
All existing tracers in eth/tracers/native have been rewritten to use the new hook system.
This change breaks compatibility with the vm.EVMLogger interface that we used to have.
If you are a user of vm.EVMLogger, please migrate to core/tracing, and sorry for breaking
your stuff. But we just couldn't have both the old and new tracing APIs coexist in the EVM.

This change simplifies the logic for indexing transactions and enhances the UX when transaction is not found by returning more information to users.
Transaction indexing is now considered as a part of the initial sync, and `eth.syncing` will thus be `true` if transaction indexing is not yet finished. API consumers can use the syncing status to determine if the node is ready to serve users.
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
This change removes a chainconfig parameter passed into rawdb.ReadLogs, which is not used nor needed.
It also modifies the filter loop slightly, avoiding a labeled break and instead using a method.
This change does not modify any behaviour.

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.

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.
This ensures that RPC method handlers will react to a timeout or
cancelled request soon after the event occurs.
