There was a problem hiding this comment.
This logic doesn't look right to me-- won't the message box pop up always with this change?
Should be something like:
fServer = GetBoolArg("-server");
#if defined(WIN32) && defined(QT_GUI)
... messageBox(ignoring....)
fServer = false;
#endif
There was a problem hiding this comment.
if defined(WIN32) && defined(QT_GUI)
is equivalent to
if !(!defined(WIN32) || !defined(QT_GUI))
tough maybe a bit uglier...

Changed to fix the problem itself. |

ACK. |

* background loading crash fixed.
* random: fix crash on some 64bit platforms
rbx needs to be stashed in a 64bit register on 64bit platforms. With this crash
in particular, it was holding a stack canary which was not properly restored
after the cpuid.
Split out the x86+PIC case so that x86_64 doesn't have to worry about it.
* random: Add fallback if getrandom syscall not available
If the code was compiled with newer (>=3.17) kernel headers but executed
on a system without the system call, every use of random would crash the
program. Add a fallback for that case.
* Don't assert if we were beaten to the block
A timing window exists where a wallet could be creating a new block from within the miner thread when a new block is received to the wallet. This window will create a situation where TestBlockValidity() fails because the chain tip has changed between the time it created the new block and the time it tested the validity of the block.
This situation would result in the wallet being asserted; however this is a little overkill. rather than asserting if the tip has changed, it is better to throw the block away.
This problem was revealed during a testnet test of an altcoin, and very prevalent when multiple wallet existed with the exact same number of staking coins received in the same transaction; or when multiple wallets were staking the same coins via import private key. The problem happens significantly less in more normal circumstances, but was still observed in a testing environment with fast blocks.
It is likely that this scenario has been encountered but never determined to be root cause, as a crashed wallet could be restarted, re-indexed and never investigated further.

Pull request description:
Since #576 hasn't changed in over a month, here is a reworked version of it.
So in this PR:
-We add the memory_cleanse function from upstream, to remove a number of OpenSSL calls.
-We use OS randomness in addition to OpenSSL randomness (see #576 for why it's needed).

Since #576 hasn't changed in over a month, here is a reworked version of it.
So in this PR:
-We add the memory_cleanse function from upstream, to remove a number of OpenSSL calls.
-We use OS randomness in addition to OpenSSL randomness (see #576 for why it's needed).

Pull request description:
### **Release notes**
- [Mining] Unnecessary mining threads now exit after PoS has begun
- [Staking] The staking thread dormancy is more efficient during PoW
- [Performance] Some unnecessary processing in the mining thread removed
- [RPC] setgenerate errors if attempted to turn on after end of PoW
- [Build] Wallet only routines conditionalized in miner.h
- [Refactoring] Log messages with bitcoin named routines changed for easier rename of routines in the future.
In order to better explain the changes in this PR, a review of the existing code would be helpful.
### **Backstory**
When fixing a PIVX forked coin's transition from PoW to PoS, it was observed that mining threads go into tight infinite loops after the switch to proof of stake. This can be seen with a simple `pivx-qt -testnet -gen`, and watching the debug log.
This observation triggered the below code review (re-written for the current release; some of the
findings in the code originally reviewed had already been addressed in PIVX).
### **Code Review**
_BitcoinMiner()_
This routine is a worker routine for both staking and mining threads; fProofOfStake is set to true when running in the staking thread, false when running in the mining thread. fGeneratedBitcoins is set when mining is started; and cleared on shutdown or when mining is stopped.
_In the initial fProofOfStake section:_
```
if ((GetTime() - nMintableLastCheck > 5 * 60)) // 5 minute check time
{
nMintableLastCheck = GetTime();
fMintableCoins = pwallet->MintableCoins();
}
if (chainActive.Tip()->nHeight < Params().LAST_POW_BLOCK()) {
MilliSleep(5000);
continue;
}
```
Every 5 minutes this code will scan through the wallet and look to see if mintable coins exist. After it's done that, it checks if the network is still in the proof of work phase. It doesn't make sense to scan the wallet until after the proof of work phase is ending.
If it is in the proof of work phase; the staking thread sleeps for 5 seconds (`MilliSleep(5000)`). This only makes sense if the block time is 5 seconds. Technically the thread could determine the number of blocks remaining in the proof of work phase, and use that to calculate a hibernation of sorts. Using the target spacing to wait for the block to pass is a 91% reduction in the number of passes through the loop (12 vs. 1 when the target spacing is one minute), and doesn't run into issues where adjustments to the actual spacing throw the timing of a hibernation off.
```
if (!fMintableCoins) {
if (GetTime() - nMintableLastCheck > 1 * 60) // 1 minute check time
{
nMintableLastCheck = GetTime();
fMintableCoins = pwallet->MintableCoins();
}
}
MilliSleep(5000);
```
We come to this section of code in the waiting while loop; if we don't have mintable coins yet, or our wallet is locked, or we're not synched; or a host of other potential things that would prevent staking. However, we check again for mintable coins; and then we wait 5 seconds after that check before we come out.
Since the first time we come into this loop; we have already checked mintable coins (within the last 5 minutes); we should sleep first, and then do the check closer to the time we're actually going to go around the loop again; so we're working with the most recent data.
```
if (!fGenerateBitcoins && !fProofOfStake)
continue;
```
This check is buried in a `if (fProofOfStake)` conditional, where fProofOfStake is a parameter that is passed in by the caller to BitcoinMiner(). `!fProofOfStake` will never be true; so this condition will never be true. Removing it we are left with !fGenerateBitcoins; which is unrelated to this section of code anyway. If we're down to this point, we're not in PoW mode anymore, so there shouldn't be a mining thread (more on that later). But the most compelling part of this condition,whether it passes or not, is that it "continues" the while loop it's in; and since it's at the end of the actual while loop, it's going to iterate into another round of the while loop as soon as it finishes with this conditional anyway. Long story short; the code doesn't do anything.
_Overall logic_
The mining thread will run until mining is turned off (`setgenerate false`, or the mining flags taken off the invocation). However, there is no need to continue to mine with proof of work after the proof of stake phase begins. In fact, there really is no consideration of that at all; PoW will continue to try to generate blocks well after PoS has begun. Yes, it's within the users control to stop mining; but it's within the power of the code to take care of that for the user, and stop the mining thread(s) after the transition to proof of stake.
### **This PR:**
The logical issues above have been corrected. The dormancy for the proof of stake thread is held for just one block rather than any extreme hibernation. Combined with moving that code to be the first thing in the while loop; it also removes the processing done to search through the wallets looking for stakeable coins.
Since a significant amount of code assumes there will not be a transition from PoS to PoW; code was added to BitcoinMiner() to exit the mining threads if it's transitioned into the PoS phase. The threads will continue for a little bit, in case there is any rewind on the chain; but after 6 PoS blocks are accepted, the miner threads will exit.
To prevent the PoW thread from trying to generate blocks after the PoS phase has begun, logic was added in CreateNewBlockWithKey() to return quickly. Rather than create a situation where the mining thread ends up in a tight loop in the initial phases of PoS, the mining thread will be held for 1/2 of the target spacing before returning.
Lastly; Some tweaks were made to the logging; removing hardcoded references to "BitcoinMiner()", in case refactoring in the future changes the name of the routine. Similarly, since there is a log message when the mining thread starts "PIVXMiner started"; rather than reporting thread exits or errors as "ThreadBitcoinMiner", they have been changed to PIVXMiner to match.
Much of this can be observed with an errant `pivx-qt -gen`. With this PR, it simply tries to start the miner, and then exits.
_With PR code - `pivx-qt -gen -testnet`_

* random: fix crash on some 64bit platforms
rbx needs to be stashed in a 64bit register on 64bit platforms. With this crash
in particular, it was holding a stack canary which was not properly restored
after the cpuid.
Split out the x86+PIC case so that x86_64 doesn't have to worry about it.
* random: Add fallback if getrandom syscall not available
If the code was compiled with newer (>=3.17) kernel headers but executed
on a system without the system call, every use of random would crash the
program. Add a fallback for that case.
* Don't assert if we were beaten to the block
A timing window exists where a wallet could be creating a new block from within the miner thread when a new block is received to the wallet. This window will create a situation where TestBlockValidity() fails because the chain tip has changed between the time it created the new block and the time it tested the validity of the block.
This situation would result in the wallet being asserted; however this is a little overkill. rather than asserting if the tip has changed, it is better to throw the block away.
This problem was revealed during a testnet test of an altcoin, and very prevalent when multiple wallet existed with the exact same number of staking coins received in the same transaction; or when multiple wallets were staking the same coins via import private key. The problem happens significantly less in more normal circumstances, but was still observed in a testing environment with fast blocks.
It is likely that this scenario has been encountered but never determined to be root cause, as a crashed wallet could be restarted, re-indexed and never investigated further.

Pull request description:
Since #576 hasn't changed in over a month, here is a reworked version of it.
So in this PR:
-We add the memory_cleanse function from upstream, to remove a number of OpenSSL calls.
-We use OS randomness in addition to OpenSSL randomness (see #576 for why it's needed).

Pull request description:
### **Release notes**
- [Mining] Unnecessary mining threads now exit after PoS has begun
- [Staking] The staking thread dormancy is more efficient during PoW
- [Performance] Some unnecessary processing in the mining thread removed
- [RPC] setgenerate errors if attempted to turn on after end of PoW
- [Build] Wallet only routines conditionalized in miner.h
- [Refactoring] Log messages with bitcoin named routines changed for easier rename of routines in the future.
In order to better explain the changes in this PR, a review of the existing code would be helpful.
### **Backstory**
When fixing a PIVX forked coin's transition from PoW to PoS, it was observed that mining threads go into tight infinite loops after the switch to proof of stake. This can be seen with a simple `pivx-qt -testnet -gen`, and watching the debug log.
This observation triggered the below code review (re-written for the current release; some of the
findings in the code originally reviewed had already been addressed in PIVX).
### **Code Review**
_BitcoinMiner()_
This routine is a worker routine for both staking and mining threads; fProofOfStake is set to true when running in the staking thread, false when running in the mining thread. fGeneratedBitcoins is set when mining is started; and cleared on shutdown or when mining is stopped.
_In the initial fProofOfStake section:_
```
if ((GetTime() - nMintableLastCheck > 5 * 60)) // 5 minute check time
{
nMintableLastCheck = GetTime();
fMintableCoins = pwallet->MintableCoins();
}
if (chainActive.Tip()->nHeight < Params().LAST_POW_BLOCK()) {
MilliSleep(5000);
continue;
}
```
Every 5 minutes this code will scan through the wallet and look to see if mintable coins exist. After it's done that, it checks if the network is still in the proof of work phase. It doesn't make sense to scan the wallet until after the proof of work phase is ending.
If it is in the proof of work phase; the staking thread sleeps for 5 seconds (`MilliSleep(5000)`). This only makes sense if the block time is 5 seconds. Technically the thread could determine the number of blocks remaining in the proof of work phase, and use that to calculate a hibernation of sorts. Using the target spacing to wait for the block to pass is a 91% reduction in the number of passes through the loop (12 vs. 1 when the target spacing is one minute), and doesn't run into issues where adjustments to the actual spacing throw the timing of a hibernation off.
```
if (!fMintableCoins) {
if (GetTime() - nMintableLastCheck > 1 * 60) // 1 minute check time
{
nMintableLastCheck = GetTime();
fMintableCoins = pwallet->MintableCoins();
}
}
MilliSleep(5000);
```
We come to this section of code in the waiting while loop; if we don't have mintable coins yet, or our wallet is locked, or we're not synched; or a host of other potential things that would prevent staking. However, we check again for mintable coins; and then we wait 5 seconds after that check before we come out.
Since the first time we come into this loop; we have already checked mintable coins (within the last 5 minutes); we should sleep first, and then do the check closer to the time we're actually going to go around the loop again; so we're working with the most recent data.
```
if (!fGenerateBitcoins && !fProofOfStake)
continue;
```
This check is buried in a `if (fProofOfStake)` conditional, where fProofOfStake is a parameter that is passed in by the caller to BitcoinMiner(). `!fProofOfStake` will never be true; so this condition will never be true. Removing it we are left with !fGenerateBitcoins; which is unrelated to this section of code anyway. If we're down to this point, we're not in PoW mode anymore, so there shouldn't be a mining thread (more on that later). But the most compelling part of this condition,whether it passes or not, is that it "continues" the while loop it's in; and since it's at the end of the actual while loop, it's going to iterate into another round of the while loop as soon as it finishes with this conditional anyway. Long story short; the code doesn't do anything.
_Overall logic_
The mining thread will run until mining is turned off (`setgenerate false`, or the mining flags taken off the invocation). However, there is no need to continue to mine with proof of work after the proof of stake phase begins. In fact, there really is no consideration of that at all; PoW will continue to try to generate blocks well after PoS has begun. Yes, it's within the users control to stop mining; but it's within the power of the code to take care of that for the user, and stop the mining thread(s) after the transition to proof of stake.
### **This PR:**
The logical issues above have been corrected. The dormancy for the proof of stake thread is held for just one block rather than any extreme hibernation. Combined with moving that code to be the first thing in the while loop; it also removes the processing done to search through the wallets looking for stakeable coins.
Since a significant amount of code assumes there will not be a transition from PoS to PoW; code was added to BitcoinMiner() to exit the mining threads if it's transitioned into the PoS phase. The threads will continue for a little bit, in case there is any rewind on the chain; but after 6 PoS blocks are accepted, the miner threads will exit.
To prevent the PoW thread from trying to generate blocks after the PoS phase has begun, logic was added in CreateNewBlockWithKey() to return quickly. Rather than create a situation where the mining thread ends up in a tight loop in the initial phases of PoS, the mining thread will be held for 1/2 of the target spacing before returning.
Lastly; Some tweaks were made to the logging; removing hardcoded references to "BitcoinMiner()", in case refactoring in the future changes the name of the routine. Similarly, since there is a log message when the mining thread starts "PIVXMiner started"; rather than reporting thread exits or errors as "ThreadBitcoinMiner", they have been changed to PIVXMiner to match.
Much of this can be observed with an errant `pivx-qt -gen`. With this PR, it simply tries to start the miner, and then exits.
_With PR code - `pivx-qt -gen -testnet`_

* random: fix crash on some 64bit platforms
rbx needs to be stashed in a 64bit register on 64bit platforms. With this crash
in particular, it was holding a stack canary which was not properly restored
after the cpuid.
Split out the x86+PIC case so that x86_64 doesn't have to worry about it.
* random: Add fallback if getrandom syscall not available
If the code was compiled with newer (>=3.17) kernel headers but executed
on a system without the system call, every use of random would crash the
program. Add a fallback for that case.
* Don't assert if we were beaten to the block
A timing window exists where a wallet could be creating a new block from within the miner thread when a new block is received to the wallet. This window will create a situation where TestBlockValidity() fails because the chain tip has changed between the time it created the new block and the time it tested the validity of the block.
This situation would result in the wallet being asserted; however this is a little overkill. rather than asserting if the tip has changed, it is better to throw the block away.
This problem was revealed during a testnet test of an altcoin, and very prevalent when multiple wallet existed with the exact same number of staking coins received in the same transaction; or when multiple wallets were staking the same coins via import private key. The problem happens significantly less in more normal circumstances, but was still observed in a testing environment with fast blocks.
It is likely that this scenario has been encountered but never determined to be root cause, as a crashed wallet could be restarted, re-indexed and never investigated further.
