e9f948c72790136656df6056fd9e3698f360e077 build: Convert warnings into errors when testing for -fstack-clash-protection (Hennadii Stepanov)
Pull request description:
Apple clang version 12.0.5 (clang-1205.0.22.9) that is a part of Xcode 12.5, and is based on LLVM clang 11.1.0, fires spammy warnings:
```
clang: warning: argument unused during compilation: '-fstack-clash-protection' [-Wunused-command-line-argument]
```
From the https://github.com/apple/llvm-project:

I suppose, that Apple clang-1205.0.22.9 ends with on of the "Revert..." commits.
This PR prevents using of the `-fstack-clash-protection` flag if it causes warnings.

Recent discussion on https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=90458 would also indicate that this should just not be used on Windows.

ec4c6a17e82a6726d95075b43ebd2525c50b37cd 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`.

Pull request description:
This adds a descriptors argument to the `utxoupdatepsbt` RPC. This means:
* Input and output scripts and keys will be filled in when known.
* P2SH-witness inputs will be filled in from the UTXO set when a descriptor is provided that shows they're spending segwit outputs.
This also moves some (newly) shared code to separate functions: `UpdatePSBTOutput` (an analogue to `SignPSBTInput`), `IsSegWitOutput`, and `EvalDescriptorStringOrObject` (implementing the string or object notation parsing used in `scantxoutset`).

* Remove unused variable
* [refactor] Move tx relay state to separate structure
* [refactor] Change tx_relay structure to be unique_ptr
* Check that tx_relay is initialized before access
* Add comment explaining intended use of m_tx_relay
* Add 2 outbound block-relay-only connections
Transaction relay is primarily optimized for balancing redundancy/robustness
with 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).)
* 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.
* doc: improve comments relating to block-relay-only peers
* Disconnect peers violating blocks-only mode
If we set fRelay=false in our VERSION message, and a peer sends an INV or TX
message anyway, disconnect. Since we use fRelay=false to minimize bandwidth,
we should not tolerate remaining connected to a peer violating the protocol.
* net_processing. Removed comment + fixed formatting
* Refactoring net_processing, removed duplicated code
* Refactor some bool in a many-arguments function to enum
It's made to avoid possible typos with arguments, because some of them have default values and it's very high probability to make a mistake here.
* Added UI debug option for Outbound
* Fixed data race related to `setInventoryTxToSend`, introduced in `[refactor] Move tx relay state to separate structure`

e9189a750b237eba1befc6b16c12c2cee3e0176c build: more robustly check for fcf-protection support (fanquake)
Pull request description:
When using Clang 7, we may end up trying to use the flag when it won't
work properly, which can lead to confusing errors. i.e:
```bash
/usr/bin/ld: error: ... <corrupt x86 feature size: 0x8>
```
Use `AX_CHECK_LINK_FLAG` & `--fatal-warnings` to ensure we wont use the flag in this case.
We do this as even when the error is emitted, compilation succeeds, and the binaries produced will run. This means we can't just check if the compiler accepts the flag, or if compilation succeeds (without or without `-Werror`, and/or passing `-Wl,--fatal-warnings`, which may not be passed through to the linker).
This was reported by someone configuring for fuzzing, on Debian 10, where Clang 7 is the default.
See here for a minimal example of the problematic behaviour:

076183b36b76a11438463883ff916f17aef9e001 build: add -fcf-protection=full to hardening options (fanquake)
Pull request description:
Beginning with Ubuntu `19.10`, it's packaged GCC now has some additional hardening options enabled by default (in addition to existing defaults like `-fstack-protector-strong` and reducing the minimum ssp buffer size). The new additions are`-fcf-protection=full` and `-fstack-clash-protection`.
> -fcf-protection=[full|branch|return|none]
> Enable code instrumentation of control-flow transfers to increase program security by checking that target addresses of control-flow transfer instructions (such as indirect function call, function return, indirect jump) are valid. This prevents diverting the flow of control to an unexpected target. This is intended to protect against such threats as Return-oriented Programming (ROP), and similarly call/jmp-oriented programming (COP/JOP).
> -fstack-clash-protection
> Generate code to prevent stack clash style attacks. When this option is enabled, the compiler will only allocate one page of stack space at a time and each page is accessed immediately after allocation. Thus, it prevents allocations from jumping over any stack guard page provided by the operating system.
If your interested you can grab `gcc-9_9.3.0-10ubuntu2.debian.tar.xz` from https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/g++-9. The relevant changes are part of the `gcc-distro-specs` patches, along with the relevant additions to the gcc manages:
> NOTE: In Ubuntu 19.10 and later versions, -fcf-protection is enabled by default for C, C++, ObjC, ObjC++, if none of -fno-cf-protection nor -fcf-protection=* are found.
> NOTE: In Ubuntu 19.10 and later versions, -fstack-clash-protection is enabled by default for C, C++, ObjC, ObjC++, unless -fno-stack-clash-protection is found.
So, if you're C++ using GCC on Ubuntu 19.10 or later, these options will be active unless you explicitly opt out. This can be observed with a small test:
```c++
int main() { return 0; }
```
```bash
g++ --version
g++ (Ubuntu 9.3.0-10ubuntu2) 9.3.0
g++ test.cpp

113b: 00 00 00
113e: 66 90 xchg %ax,%ax
```
Note the insertion of an `endbr64` instruction when compiling and _not_ opting out. This instruction is part of the Intel Control-flow Enforcement Technology [spec](https://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/managed/4d/2a/control-flow-enforcement-technology-preview.pdf), which the GCC control flow implementation is based on.
If we're still doing gitian builds for the `0.21.0` and `0.22.0` releases, we'd likely update the gitian image to Ubuntu Focal, which would mean that the GCC used for gitian builds would also be using these options by default. So we should decide whether we want to explicitly turn these options on as part of our hardening options (although not just for this reason), or, we should be opting-out.
GCC has supported both options since 8.0.0. Clang has supported `-fcf-protection` from 7.0.0 and will support `-fstack-clash-protection` in it's upcoming [11.0.0 release](https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ReleaseNotes.html#id6).

8578c6fccd11404412d2c60f9bede311b79ca0d0 build: Fix search for brew-installed BDB 4 on OS X (Glenn Willen)
Pull request description:
~~NOTE: This PR contains one important fix that I need (to make Bitcoin Core build cleanly on my system without shenanigans), plus some related general cleanup that is not really necessary, and could be annoying. (I am prepared to defend my argument that BDB_CFLAGS is wrong here, and BDB_CPPFLAGS is right, but this could bite anybody who has gotten in the habit of -- or scripted -- setting the former.)~~
Ok, I have been convinced that I was too clever with the refactor and I have removed it. Now it's just the tiny change to fix the build on my local machine.
---
On OS X, when searching Homebrew keg-only packages for BDB 4.8, if we find it,
use BDB_CPPFLAGS and BDB_LIBS instead of CFLAGS and LIBS for the result. This
is (1) more correct, and (2) necessary in order to give this location
priority over other directories in the include search path, which may include
system include directories with other versions of BDB.

3e38023af724a76972d39cbccfb0bba4c54a0323 scripts: add PE .reloc section check to security-check.py (fanquake)
Pull request description:
The `ld` in binutils has historically had a few issues with PE binaries, there's a good summary in this [thread](https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19011).
One issue in particular was `ld` stripping the `.reloc` section out of PE binaries, even though it's required for functioning ASLR. This was [reported by a Tor developer in 2014](https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17321) and they have been patching their [own binutils](https://gitweb.torproject.org/builders/tor-browser-build.git/tree/projects/binutils) ever since. However their patch only made it into binutils at the [start of this year](https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commit;h=dc9bd8c92af67947db44b3cb428c050259b15cd0). It adds an `--enable-reloc-section` flag, which is turned on by default if you are using `--dynamic-base`. In the mean time this issue has also been worked around by other projects, such as FFmpeg, see [this commit](91b668acd6).
I have checked our recent supported Windows release binaries, and they do contain a `.reloc` section. From what I understand, we are using all the right compile/linker flags, including `-pie` & `-fPIE`, and have never run into the crashing/entrypoint issues that other projects might have seen.
One other thing worth noting here, it how Debian/Ubuntu patch the binutils that they distribute, because that's what we end up using in our gitian builds.
In the binutils-mingw-w64 in Bionic (18.04), which we currently use in gitian, PE hardening options/security flags are enabled by default. See the [changelog](https://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/universe/b/binutils-mingw-w64/binutils-mingw-w64_8ubuntu1/changelog) and the [relevant commit](452b3013b8).
However in Focal (20.04), this has now been reversed. PE hardening options are no-longer the default. See the [changelog](https://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/universe/b/binutils-mingw-w64/binutils-mingw-w64_8.8/changelog) and [relevant commit](7bd8b2fbc2), which cites same .reloc issue mentioned here.
Given that we explicitly specify/opt-in to everything that we want to use, the defaults aren't necessarily an issue for us. However I think it highlights the importance of continuing to be explicit about what we want, and not falling-back or relying on upstream.
This was also prompted by the possibility of us doing link time garbage collection, see #18579 & #18605. It seemed some sanity checks would be worthwhile in-case the linker goes haywire while garbage collecting.
I think Guix is going to bring great benefits when dealing with these kinds of issues. Carl you might have something to say in that regard.

Similar to the [ELF check](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/contrib/devtools/security-check.py#L105). Note that looking for a triple underscore prefixed function (as opposed to two for ELF) is correct for the macOS binaries. i.e:

Pull request description:
Given that we went through a [gitian build](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/18681) to remember why this is the case, we might as well make a note of it in configure.ac.
[From #18681](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/18681#issuecomment-615526634):
Looking at the Linux build log, this has failed with:
```bash

```
`__cxa_thread_atexit_impl` is used for [thread_local variable destruction](https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Destructor%20support%20for%20thread_local%20variables):
> To implement this support, glibc defines __cxa_thread_atexit_impl exclusively for use by libstdc++ (which has the __cxa_thread_atexit to wrap around it), that registers destructors for thread_local variables in a list. Upon thread or process exit, the destructors are called in reverse order in which they were added.
As suggested, this only became available in glibc 2.18. From the [2.18 release notes](https://sourceware.org/legacy-ml/libc-alpha/2013-08/msg00160.html):
> * Add support for calling C++11 thread_local object destructors on thread
and program exit. This needs compiler support for offloading C++11
destructor calls to glibc.

5ca90f8b598978437340bb8467f527b9edfb2bbf scripts: add MACHO lazy bindings check to security-check.py (fanquake)
Pull request description:
This is a slightly belated follow up to #17686 and some discussion with Cory. It's not entirely clear if we should make this change due to the way the macOS dynamic loader appears to work. However I'm opening this for some discussion. Also related to #17768.
#### Issue:
[`LD64`](https://opensource.apple.com/source/ld64/) doesn't set the [MH_BINDATLOAD](https://opensource.apple.com/source/xnu/xnu-6153.11.26/EXTERNAL_HEADERS/mach-o/loader.h.auto.html) bit in the header of MACHO executables, when building with `-bind_at_load`. This is in contradiction to the [documentation](https://opensource.apple.com/source/ld64/ld64-450.3/doc/man/man1/ld.1.auto.html):
```bash
-bind_at_load
Sets a bit in the mach header of the resulting binary which tells dyld to
bind all symbols when the binary is loaded, rather than lazily.
```
The [`ld` in Apples cctools](https://opensource.apple.com/source/cctools/cctools-927.0.2/ld/layout.c.auto.html) does set the bit, however the [cctools-port](https://github.com/tpoechtrager/cctools-port/) that we use for release builds, bundles `LD64`.
However; even if the linker hasn't set that bit, the dynamic loader ([`dyld`](https://opensource.apple.com/source/dyld/)) doesn't seem to ever check for it, and from what I understand, it looks at a different part of the header when determining whether to lazily load symbols.
Note that our release binaries are currently working as expected, and no lazy loading occurs.
#### Example:
Using a small program, we can observe the behaviour of the dynamic loader.
Conducted using:
```bash
clang++ --version
Apple clang version 11.0.0 (clang-1100.0.33.17)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin18.7.0
ld -v
@(#)PROGRAM:ld PROJECT:ld64-530

```
```cpp
#include <iostream>
int main() {
std::cout << "Hello World!\n";
return 0;
}
```
Compile and check the MACHO header:
```bash
clang++ test.cpp -o test
otool -vh test
...
Mach header
magic cputype cpusubtype caps filetype ncmds sizeofcmds flags
MH_MAGIC_64 X86_64 ALL LIB64 EXECUTE 16 1424 NOUNDEFS DYLDLINK TWOLEVEL WEAK_DEFINES BINDS_TO_WEAK PIE
# Run and dump dynamic loader bindings:
DYLD_PRINT_BINDINGS=1 DYLD_PRINT_TO_FILE=no_bind.txt ./test
Hello World!
```
Recompile with `-bind_at_load`. Note still no `BINDATLOAD` flag:
```bash
clang++ test.cpp -o test -Wl,-bind_at_load
otool -vh test
Mach header
magic cputype cpusubtype caps filetype ncmds sizeofcmds flags
MH_MAGIC_64 X86_64 ALL LIB64 EXECUTE 16 1424 NOUNDEFS DYLDLINK TWOLEVEL WEAK_DEFINES BINDS_TO_WEAK PIE
...
DYLD_PRINT_BINDINGS=1 DYLD_PRINT_TO_FILE=bind.txt ./test
Hello World!
```
If we diff the outputs, you can see that `dyld` doesn't perform any lazy bindings when the binary is compiled with `-bind_at_load`, even if the `BINDATLOAD` flag is not set:

```
Note: `dyld` also has a `DYLD_BIND_AT_LAUNCH=1` environment variable, that when set, will force any lazy bindings to be non-lazy:
```bash
dyld: forced lazy bind: test:0x10BEC8068 = libc++.1.dylib:__ZNSt3__113basic_ostream
```
#### Thoughts:
After looking at the dyld source, I can't find any checks for `MH_BINDATLOAD`. You can see the flags it does check for, such as MH_PIE or MH_BIND_TO_WEAK [here](https://opensource.apple.com/source/dyld/dyld-732.8/src/ImageLoaderMachO.cpp.auto.html).
It seems that the lazy binding of any symbols depends on whether or not [lazy_bind_size](https://opensource.apple.com/source/xnu/xnu-6153.11.26/EXTERNAL_HEADERS/mach-o/loader.h.auto.html) from the `LC_DYLD_INFO_ONLY` load command is > 0. Which was mentioned in [#17686](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/17686#issue-350216254).
#### Changes:
This PR is one of [Corys commits](7b6ba26178), that I've rebased and modified to make build. I've also included an addition to the `security-check.py` script to check for the flag.
However, given the above, I'm not entirely sure this patch is the correct approach. If the linker no-longer inserts it, and the dynamic loader doesn't look for it, there might be little benefit to setting it. Or, maybe this is an oversight from Apple and needs some upstream discussion. Looking for some thoughts / Concept ACK/NACK.
One alternate approach we could take is to drop the patch and modify security-check.py to look for `lazy_bind_size` == 0 in the `LC_DYLD_INFO_ONLY` load command, using `otool -l`.

bcff8e21b1bb360c3cf1e1d2e1a2a54ec7581720 build: only pass --disable-dependency-tracking to packages that understand it (fanquake)
Pull request description:
By blanket passing `--disable-dependency-tracking` to all depends packages we end up with warnings (i.e in `bdb` or `freetype`) like:
```bash
configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --disable-dependency-tracking
```
Instead, only pass it to packages that actually understand it. Related to https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/16354.
More info on `--disable-dependency-tracking` available [here](https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Dependency-Tracking.html).
This PR also adds `--enable-option-checking` as a configure option to all applicable packages.

eea462de9c652dca556ad241d2126b10790f67f8 [wallet] Remove package limit config access from wallet (John Newbery)
Pull request description:
Removes wallet access to `-limitancestorcount`, `-limitdescendantcount` and `-prune`:
- `-limitancestorcount` and `-limitdescendantcount` are now accessed with a method `getPackageLimits` in the `Chain` interface.
- `-prune` is not required. It was only used in wallet component initiation to prevent running `-rescan` when pruning was enabled. This check is not required.
Partially addresses #17137.

Pull request description:
Knowledge of `walletconflicts` field existence is really nice when you're debugging conflicts. Was added in #3671 but never documented in RPC helps.
Others were added after a quick skim, we may still have missing ones in wallet rpcs.

71af793512100ee7d508c3fb815af47925fe80ba scripts: fix check-symbols & check-security argument passing (fanquake)
Pull request description:
The first argument in `bin_PROGRAMS` (`bitcoind`) was being silently consumed and never passed into the [`security-check.py`](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/contrib/devtools/security-check.py) or [`symbol-check.py`](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/contrib/devtools/symbol-check.py) scripts.
This seems to have been the case since the scripts were added to the makefile in f3d3eaf78e.
Example of the behavior:
```python
# touch a, touch b, touch c
# python3 args.py < a b c
import sys
if __name__ == '__main__':
print(sys.argv)
# ['args.py', 'b', 'c']
# if you add some lines to "a",
# you'll see them here..
for line in sys.stdin:
print(line)
```

Pull request description:
Add a new wallet flag called `avoid_reuse` which, when enabled, will keep track of when a specific destination has been spent from, and will actively "blacklist" any new UTXOs which send to an already-spent-from destination.
This improves privacy, as a payer could otherwise begin tracking a payee's wallet by regularly peppering a known UTXO with dust outputs, which would then be scooped up and used in payments by the payee, allowing the payer to map out (1) the inputs owned by the payee and (2) the destinations to which the payee is making payments.
This replaces #10386 and together with the (now merged) #12257 it addresses #10065 in full. The concerns raised in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10386#issuecomment-302361381 are also addressed due to #12257.
~~Note: this builds on top of #15780.~~ (merged)
