89fb241c54fc85befacfa3703d8e21bf3b8a76eb Benchmark script verification with 100 nested IFs (Pieter Wuille)
Pull request description:
While investigating what mechanisms are possible to maximize the per-opcode verification cost of scripts, I noticed that the logic for determining whether a particular opcode is to be executed is O(n) in the nesting depth. This issue was also pointed out by Sergio Demian Lerner in https://bitslog.wordpress.com/2017/04/17/new-quadratic-delays-in-bitcoin-scripts/, and this PR implements a variant of the O(1) algorithm suggested there.
This is not a problem currently, because even with a nesting depth of 100 (the maximum possible right now due to the 201 ops limit), the slowdown caused by this on my machine is around 70 ns per opcode (or 0.25 s per block) at worst, far lower than what is possible with other opcodes.
This PR mostly serves as a proof of concept that it's possible to avoid it, which may be relevant in discussions around increasing the opcode limits in future script versions. Without it, the execution time of scripts can grow quadratically with the nesting depth, which very quickly becomes unreasonable.
This improves upon #14245 by completely removing the `vfExec` vector.

1bf3f33b46 node: Removed unused wallet-related methods from the Node interface. (Thomas Snider)
b38200459f benchmark: Removed bench/perf.cpp (Thomas Snider)
Pull request description:
Not sure if these should be separate PRs.
First is removal of a platform abstraction for getting cycle counters where possible. Since the benchmarking switch to counting number of iterations over a fixed window instead of counting cycles per iteration, these are unused.
Second is removal of a few methods from the Node interface that seem vestigial from when the concepts of wallet/node were not as clearly separated.

Pull request description:
This implements the compact block filter construction in [BIP 158](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0158.mediawiki). The code is not used anywhere in the Bitcoin Core code base yet. The next step towards [BIP 157](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0157.mediawiki) support would be to create an indexing module similar to `TxIndex` that constructs the basic and extended filters for each validated block.
### Filter Sizes
[Here](https://gateway.ipfs.io/ipfs/QmRqaAAQZ5ZX5eqxP7J2R1MzFrc2WDdKSWJEKtQzyawqog) is a CSV of filter sizes for blocks in the main chain.
As you can see below, the ratio of filter size to block size drops after the first ~150,000 blocks:
The reason for the relatively large filter sizes is that Golomb-coded sets only achieve good compression with a sufficient number of elements. Empirically, the average element size with 100 elements is 14% larger than with 10,000 elements.
The ratio of filter size to block size is computed without witness data for basic filters. Here is a summary table of filter size ratios *for blocks after height 150,000*:
| Stat | Filter Type |
|-------|--------------|
| Weighted Size Ratio Mean | 0.0198 |
| Size Ratio Mean | 0.0224 |
| Size Ratio Std Deviation | 0.0202 |
| Mean Element Size (bits) | 21.145 |
| Approx Theoretical Min Element Size (bits) | 21.025 |

fa013664ae23d0682a195b9bded85bc19c99536e util: Add type safe GetTime (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
There are basically two ways to get the time in Bitcoin Core:
* get the system time (via `GetSystemTimeInSeconds` or `GetTime{Millis,Micros}`)
* get the mockable time (via `GetTime`)
Both return the same type (a plain int). This can lead to (test-only) bugs such as 99464bc38e.
Fix that by deprecating `GetTime` and adding a `GetTime<>` that returns the mockable time in a non-int type. The new util function is currently unused, but new code should it where possible.

5aad635 Use memset() to optimize prevector::resize() (Evan Klitzke)
e46be25 Reduce redundant code of prevector and speed it up (Akio Nakamura)
f0e7aa7 Add new prevector benchmarks. (Evan Klitzke)
Pull request description:
This branch optimizes various `prevector` operations, especially resizing vectors. While profiling the `loadblk` thread I noticed that a lot of time was being spent in `prevector::resize()` which led to this work. I have some data here indicating that it takes up **37%** of the time in `ReadBlockFromDisk()`: https://monad.io/readblockfromdisk.svg
This branch improves things significantly. For trivial types, the new results for the prevector benchmark are:
* `PrevectorClearTrivial` which tests `prevector::clear()` becomes 24.6x faster
* `PrevectorDestructorTrivial` which tests `prevector::~prevector()` becomes 20.5x faster
* `PrevectorResizeTrivial` which tests `prevector::resize()` becomes 20.3x faster
Note that in practice it looks like the prevector is only used to contain `unsigned char` types, which is a trivial type. The benchmarks are testing a bit of an extreme case, but the changes here are motivated by the profiling data for `ReadBlockFromDisk()` I linked to above.
The pull request here consists of a series of three commits:
* The first adds new benchmarks but does not change the prevector code.
* The second is from @AkioNak , and merges some prevector optimizations he submitted in #11988
* The third optimizes `prevector::resize()` to use `memset()` when the prevector contains trivially constructible types

03be7f48fad10aa8da3291c28a185ed750193c7b Add Poly1305 implementation (Jonas Schnelli)
Pull request description:
This adds a currently unused Poly1305 implementation including test vectors from RFC7539.
Required for BIP151 (and related to #15512).

2dfe27517 Add ChaCha20 bench (Jonas Schnelli)
2bc2b8b49 Add ChaCha20 encryption option (XOR) (Jonas Schnelli)
Pull request description:
The current ChaCha20 implementation does not support message encryption (it can only output the keystream which is sufficient for the RNG).
This PR adds the actual XORing of the `plaintext` with the `keystream` in order to return the desired `ciphertext`.
Required for v2 message transport protocol.

utACK 2dfe2751713c814aea53b5a7563eb74ad1baea00. Changes since last review are just renaming the Crypt method, adding comments, and simplifying the benchmark.

* Add libbacktrace to depends
This is currently only useful to extract symbols. It fails to gather
stacktraces when compiled with MinGW, so we can only use it to get symbol
information from a stack trace which we gathered outside of libbacktrace.
* Add -mbig-obj to CXXFLAGS for MinGW builds
* Implement stacktraces for C++ exceptions
This is a hack and should only be used for debugging. It works by wrapping
the C++ ABI __wrap___cxa_allocate_exception. The wrapper records a backtrace
and stores it in a global map. Later the stacktrace can be retrieved with
GetExceptionStacktraceStr.
This commit also adds handlers to pretty print uncaught exceptions and
signals.
* Use GetPrettyExceptionStr for all unhandled exceptions
* Use --enable-stacktraces in CI for linux32/linux64
* Register exception translators to pretty print exceptions in unit tests
* Catch and print python exceptions when stopping nodes
Otherwise the code at the bottom is never executed when nodes crash,
leading to no output of debug.log files on Travis.
* Remove now unneeded/unused TestCrash methods
