dff16b184b [refactor] Restructure logic to check for addr relay.
We previously identified if we relay addresses to the connection by checking
for the existence of the m_addr_known data structure. With this commit, we
answer this question based on the connection type.

Merge #19658: [rpc] Allow RPC to fetch all addrman records and add records to addrman
37a480e0cd [net] Add addpeeraddress RPC method (John Newbery)
ae8051bbd8 [test] Test that getnodeaddresses() can return all known addresses (John Newbery)
f26502e9fc [addrman] Specify max addresses and pct when calling GetAddresses() (John Newbery)

Pull request description:

  Currently addrman only allows a maximum of 1000 records or 23% of all records to be returned in a call to `GetAddr()`. Relax this limit and have the client specify the max records they want. For p2p, behaviour is unchanged (but the rate limiting is set inside net_processing, where it belongs). For RPC, `getnodeaddresses` can now return the complete addrman, which is helpful for testing and monitoring.

  Also add a test-only RPC `addpeeraddress`, which adds an IP address:port to addrman. This is helpful for testing (eg #18991).

f26502e9fc [addrman] Specify max addresses and pct when calling GetAddresses()
CAddrMan.GetAddr() would previously limit the number and percentage of
addresses returned (to ADDRMAN_GETADDR_MAX (1000) and
ADDRMAN_GETADDR_MAX_PCT (23) respectively). Instead, make it the callers
responsibility to specify the maximum addresses and percentage they want
returned.

For net_processing, the maximums are MAX_ADDR_TO_SEND (1000) and
MAX_PCT_ADDR_TO_SEND (23). For rpc/net, the maximum is specified by the
client.

3f1b7140e9 scripted-diff: Rename OneShot to AddrFetch (Amiti Uttarwar)

Pull request description:

  **This is part 1 of #19315, which enables the ability to test `outbound` and `block-relay-only` connections from the functional tests.** Please see that PR for more information of overall functionality.

  **This PR simplifies how we manage different connection types.** It introduces an enum with the various types of connections so we can explicitly define the connection type. The existing system relies on a series of independent flags, then has asserts scattered around to ensure that conflicting flags are not enabled at the same time. I find this approach to be both brittle and confusing. While making these changes, I found a small bug due to the silent assumptions.

  This PR also proposes a rename from `OneShot` to `AddrFetch`. I find the name `OneShot` to be very confusing, especially when we also have `onetry` manual connections. Everyone I've talked to offline has agreed that the name is confusing, so I propose a potential alternative. I think this is a good opportunity for a rename since I'm creating an enum to explicitly define the connection types.
  (some context for the unfamiliar: `oneshot` or `addrfetch` connections are short-lived connections created on startup. They connect to the seed peers, send a `getaddr` to solicit addresses, then close the connection.)

  Overview of this PR:
  * rename `oneshot` to `addrfetch`
  * introduce `ConnectionType` enum
  * one by one, add different connection types to the enum
  * expose the `conn_type` on CNode, and use this to reduce reliance on flags (& asserts)
  * fix the bug in counting different type of connections
  * some additional cleanup to simplify logic and make expectations explicit/inclusive rather than implicit/exclusive.

Pull request description:

  Using txids (a transaction's hash, without witness) for transaction relay is problematic, post-segwit -- if a peer gives us a segwit transaction that fails policy checks, it could be because the txid associated with the transaction is definitely unacceptable to our node (regardless of the witness), or it could be that the transaction was malleated and with a different witness, the txid could be accepted to our mempool.

  We have a bloom filter of recently rejected transactions, whose purpose is to help us avoid redownloading and revalidating transactions that fail to be accepted, but because of this potential for witness malleability to interfere with relay of valid transactions, we do not use the filter for segwit transactions.  This issue is discussed at some length in #8279.  The effect of this is that whenever a segwit transaction that fails policy checks is relayed, a node would download that transaction from every peer announcing it, because it has no way presently to cache failure.  Historically this hasn't been a big problem, but if/when policy for accepting segwit transactions were to change (eg taproot, or any other change), we could expect older nodes talking to newer nodes to be wasting bandwidth because of this.

  As discussed in that issue, switching to wtxid-based relay solves this problem -- by using an identifier for a transaction that commits to all the data in our relay protocol, we can be certain if a transaction that a peer is announcing is one that we've already tried to process, or if it's something new.  This PR introduces support for wtxid-based relay with peers that support it (and remains backwards compatible with peers that use txids for relay, of course).

  Apart from code correctness, one issue to be aware of is that by downloading from old and new peers alike, we should expect there to be some bandwidth wasted, because sometimes we might download the same transaction via txid-relay as well as wtxid-relay.  The last commit in this PR implements a heuristic I want to analyze, which is to just delay relay from txid-relay peers by 2 seconds, if we have at least 1 wtxid-based peer.  I've just started running a couple nodes with this heuristic so I can measure how well it works, but I'm open to other ideas for minimizing that issue.  In the long run, I think this will be essentially a non-issue, so I don't think it's too big a concern, we just need to bite the bullet and deal with it during upgrade.

  Finally, this proposal would need a simple BIP describing the changes, which I haven't yet drafted.  However, review and testing of this code in the interim would be welcome.

  To do items:
  - [x] Write BIP explaining the spec here (1 new p2p message for negotiating wtxid-based relay, along with a new INV type)
  - [ ] Measure and evaluate a heuristic for minimizing how often a node downloads the same transaction twice, when connected to old and new nodes.

ec4c6a17e8 scripted-diff: replace MAX_BLOCKS_ONLY_CONNECTIONS with MAX_BLOCK_RELAY_ONLY_CONNECTIONS (glowang)

Pull request description:

  We have two different concepts that have similar names: `-blocksonly` and `block-relay-only`, and the similarity of names could lead to confusion. `-blocksonly` disables all local receiving & relaying of transactions (with a few exceptions), while `block-relay-only`means that bitcoind will make 2 additional outbound connections that are only used for block relay.

  In net.h and init.cpp, `MAX_BLOCKS_ONLY_CONNECTIONS` is used to represent the maximum number of `block-relay-only` outbound peers, which is 2. But this name sounds ambiguous, and I proposed a better name,  `MAX_BLOCK_RELAY_ONLY_CONNECTION`.

f52d403b81 [net] split PushInventory()
PushInventory() is currently called with a CInv object, which can be a
MSG_TX or MSG_BLOCK. PushInventory() only uses the type to determine
whether to add the hash to setInventoryTxToSend or
vInventoryBlockToSend.

Since the caller always knows what type of inventory they're pushing,
the CInv is wastefully constructed and thrown away, and tx/block relay
is being split out, we split the function into PushTxInventory() and
PushBlockInventory().

c3cf2f5501 rpc/blockchain.cpp: Remove g_utxosetscan mutex that is only protecting a single atomic variable (Anthony Towns)

Pull request description:

  In a few cases we need to use `std::mutex` rather than the sync.h primitives. But `std::lock_guard<std::mutex>` doesn't include the clang thread safety annotations unless you also use clang's C library, which means you can't indicate when variables should be guarded by `std::mutex` mutexes.

  This adds an annotated version of `std::lock_guard<std::mutex>` to threadsafety.h to fix that, and modifies places where `std::mutex` is used to take advantage of the annotations.

  It's based on top of #16112, and turns the thread safety comments included there into annotations.

  It also changes the RAII classes in wallet/wallet.h and rpc/blockchain.cpp to just use the atomic<bool> flag for synchronisation rather than having a mutex that doesn't actually guard anything as well.

Merge #18544: net: limit BIP37 filter lifespan (active between 'filterload'..'filterclear')
a9ecbdfcaa test: add more inactive filter tests to p2p_filter.py (Sebastian Falbesoner)
5eae034996 net: limit BIP37 filter lifespan (active between 'filterload' and 'filterclear') (Sebastian Falbesoner)

Pull request description:

  This PR fixes https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/18483. On the master branch, there is currently _always_ a BIP37 filter set for every peer: if not a specific filter is set through a `filterload` message, a default match-everything filter is instanciated and pointed to via the `CBloomFilter` default constructor; that happens both initially, when the containing structure `TxRelay` is constructed:

  c0b389b335/src/net.h (L812)

  and after a loaded filter is removed again through a `filterclear` message:

  c0b389b335/src/net_processing.cpp (L3201)

  The behaviour was introduced by commit 37c6389c5a (an intentional covert fix for [CVE-2013-5700](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/18515), according to gmaxwell).

  This default match-everything filter leads to some unintended side-effects:
  1. `getdata` request for filtered blocks (i.e. type `MSG_FILTERED_BLOCK`) are always responded to with `merkleblock`s, even if no filter was set by the peer, see issue #18483 (strictly speaking, this is a violation of BIP37) c0b389b335/src/net_processing.cpp (L1504-L1507)
  2. if a peer sends a `filteradd` message without having loaded a filter via `filterload` before, the intended increasing of the banscore never happens (triggered if `bad` is set to true, a few lines below) c0b389b335/src/net_processing.cpp (L3182-L3186)

  This PR basically activates the `else`-branch code paths for all checks of `pfilter` again (on the master branch, they are dead code) by limiting the pointer's lifespan: instead of always having a filter set, the `pfilter` is only pointing to a `CBloomFilter`-instance after receiving a `filterload` message and the instance is destroyed again (and the pointer nullified) after receiving a `filterclear` message.

  Here is a before/after comparison in behaviour:
  | code part / scenario                          |    master branch                   |   PR branch                                          |
  | --------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
  | `getdata` processing for `MSG_FILTERED_BLOCK` | always responds with `merkleblock` | only responds if filter was set via `filterload`     |
  | `filteradd` processing, no filter was loaded  | nothing                            | peer's banscore increases by 100 (i.e. disconnect)   |

  On the other code parts where `pfilter` is checked there is no change in the logic behaviour (except that `CBloomFilter::IsRelevantAndUpdate()` is unnecessarily called and immediately returned in the master branch).
  Note that the default constructor of `CBloomFilter` is only used for deserializing the received `filterload` message and nowhere else. The PR also contains a functional test checking that sending `getdata` for filtered blocks is ignored by the node if no bloom filter is set.

Pull request description:

  This PR attempts to solve the problem explained in #16599.
  A particular attack which encouraged us to work on this issue is explained here  [[Erebus Attack against Bitcoin Peer-to-Peer Network](https://erebus-attack.comp.nus.edu.sg/)] (by @muoitranduc)

  Instead of relying on /16 prefix to diversify the connections every node creates, we would instead rely on the (ip -> ASN) mapping, if this mapping is provided.

  A .map file can be created by every user independently based on a router dump, or provided along with the Bitcoin release. Currently we use the python scripts written by @sipa to create a .map file, which is no larger than 2MB (awesome!).

  Here I suggest adding a field to peers.dat which would represent a hash of asmap file used while serializing addrman (or 0 for /16 prefix legacy approach).
  In this case, every time the file is updated (or grouping method changed), all buckets will be re-computed.
  I believe that alternative selective re-bucketing for only updated ranges would require substantial changes.

  TODO:
  - ~~more unit tests~~
  - ~~find a way to test the code without including >1 MB mapping file in the repo.~~
  - find a way to check that mapping file is not corrupted (checksum?)
  - comments and separate tests for asmap.cpp
  - make python code for .map generation public
  - figure out asmap distribution (?)

  ~Interesting corner case: I’m using std::hash to compute a fingerprint of asmap, and std::hash returns size_t. I guess  if a user updates the OS to 64-bit, then the hash of asap will change? Does it even matter?~

090b75c14b p2p: Avoid allocating memory for addrKnown where we don't need it (User)

Pull request description:

  We should allocate memory for addrKnown filter only for those peers which are expected to participate in address relay.

  Currently, we do it for all peers (including SPV and block-relay-only),  which results in extra RAM where it's not needed.

  Upd:
  In future, we would still allow SPVs to ask for addrs, so allocation still will be done by default.
  However, they will be able to opt-out via [this proposal](https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2019-October/017428.html) and then we could save some more memory.
  This PR still saves memory for block-relay-only peers immediately after merging.

82e53f37e1 doc: add comments clarifying how local services are advertised
Recent questions have come up regarding dynamic service registration
(see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/16442#discussion_r308702676
and the assumeutxo project, which needs to dynamically flip NODE_NETWORK).

While investigating how dynamic service registration might work, I was
confused about how we convey local services to peers. This adds some
documentation that hopefully clarifies this process.

Pull request description:

  Transaction relay is optimized for a combination of redundancy/robustness as well as bandwidth minimization -- as a result transaction relay leaks information that adversaries can use to infer the network topology.

  Network topology is better kept private for (at least) two reasons:

  (a) Knowledge of the network graph can make it easier to find the source IP of a given transaction.

  (b) Knowledge of the network graph could be used to split a target node or nodes from the honest network (eg by knowing which peers to attack in order to achieve a network split).

  We can eliminate the risks of (b) by separating block relay from transaction relay; inferring network connectivity from the relay of blocks/block headers is much more expensive for an adversary.

  After this commit, bitcoind will make 2 additional outbound connections that are only used for block relay. (In the future, we might consider rotating our transaction-relay peers to help limit the effects of (a).)

    ACK 0ba08020c9 -- code review, ran tests. ran it on mainnet for a couple of days with MAX_BLOCKS_ONLY_CONNECTIONS upped from 2 to 16 and didn't observe any unexpected behaviour: it disconnected a couple of peers that tried sending inv's, and it successfully did compact block relay with some block relay peers.
  TheBlueMatt:
    re-utACK 0ba08020c9. Pointed out that stats.fRelayTxes was sometimes uninitialized for blocksonly peers (though its not a big deal and only effects RPC), which has since been fixed here. Otherwise changes are pretty trivial so looks good.

430f489027 Don't relay addr messages to block-relay-only peers
We don't want relay of addr messages to leak information about
these network links.

Transaction relay is primarily optimized for balancing redundancy/robustness

We can eliminate the risks of (b) by separating block relay from transaction
