735b25519a support: clamp RLIMIT_MEMLOCK to size_t (Sjors Provoost)
8ab4b9fc85 init: clamp fd limits to int (Sjors Provoost)
4afbabdcef Fix startup failure with RLIM_INFINITY fd limits (Sjors Provoost)
Pull request description:
When setting the fd limit to unlimited, the node fails to start:
```sh
ulimit -n unlimited
build/bin/bitcoind
Error: Not enough file descriptors available. -1 available, 160 required.
```
This was caused by `RaiseFileDescriptorLimit()` (introduced in #2568) casting `limitFD.rlim_cur` to `int`, which for `RLIM_INFINITY` overflows to `-1`. Fix it by returning `std::numeric_limits<int>::max()` instead.
Some platforms implement `RLIM_INFINITY` as the maximum uint64, others as int64 (-1). So simply changing the return type to `uint64_t` wouldn't work.
Similarly, though unlikely to actually happen:
```sh
ulimit -n 214748364
build/bin/bitcoind
Error: Not enough file descriptors available. -2147483648 available, 160 required.
```
The second commit expands the fix by clamping all values above `std::numeric_limits<int>::max()` instead of letting them overflow.
This PR also expands `test/functional/feature_init.py` to cover these, using `resource.setrlimit`. The check is skipped on environments with a hard limit below infinity (or that don't have the Python [Resource module](https://docs.python.org/3/library/resource.html)).
macOS by default has a hard limit of infinity, but on e.g. Ubuntu the default hard limit is 524288.
The third commit applies a similar fix to `PosixLockedPageAllocator::GetLimit()` for 32-bit systems, but without a test.

thus reasonable to remove it to reduce maintenance burden.

Pull request description:
This PR includes https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/35319 and on top of that adds a regression functional test.
The functional test exercises the relevant code paths without modifying non-test code. To do that it does:
* Add a bunch of IPv4 addresses to the node's addrman (they will be added without P2P_V2 flag).
* Get them to report P2P_V2 in their service flags and connect to each one, so that the flags
in addrman are updated to contain P2P_V2.
* Get one successful connection to a Tor peer (.onion) so that bitcoind assumes the configured
Tor proxy works and is indeed a proxy to the Tor network. This will make it open private
broadcast connections also to IPv4 addresses via that proxy.
* Start some private broadcast connections.
* Remember the destination IPv4 address of the first connection and get it to fail the v2
transport.
* Wait for a subsequent connection also through the Tor proxy to the same IPv4 and expect
it to be v1, i.e. the v2->v1 downgrade retry.
The test fails without the fix - the v1 retry never arrives to the Tor proxy. And passes with the fix. The fix is in the first commit here and in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/35319, can remove it by `git show fd230f942d | git apply -R`.

1b93983bf5 test: make feature_bind_port_(discover|externalip).py auto-detect the skip condition (Vasil Dimov)
Pull request description:
`feature_bind_port_discover.py` and `feature_bind_port_externalip.py` require a routable address on the machine to run. Since that was not predictably available on CI, those tests required a manual setting up of IP addresses (e.g. using `ifconfig`) and then running the tests with a command line option telling them that the addresses are set up. The tests were not run in CI and [got rot](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/31293#issuecomment-2497792487).
Change that to auto-detect, from the tests, whether the needed IP addresses are present and if yes, run the test, otherwise skip it. Also change the CI to configure the needed addresses when running the functional tests. This way the tests will be run regularly on CI.

Instead of requiring a run with an explicit `--ihave1111and2222`, detect
whether the routable addresses are set up and if not, then skip the test.
To detect whether the addresses are set use `bitcoind` - start it
and ask it to bind on them and see if it will error with
"Unable to bind". Since this is what the tests do anyway, just start
the nodes and see if an exception will be raised like
`FailedToStartError` / "Unable to bind".
This makes it possible for the CI to run
`feature_bind_port_discover.py` and
`feature_bind_port_externalip.py` by just setting up the
addresses, without having to explicitly provide `--ihave1111and2222`.

Pull request description:
Currently, functional tests may intermittently fail, due to a lack of synchronization after a node connection socket was closed gracefully: If node A is connected to node B, and node B closes the connection, node A *must* wait for the connection to be closed before continuing the test. Otherwise, subsequent re-connections may not work while a stale connection is still alive.
This can be reproduced locally via something like:

The later scripted diff only handles plain `assert x == y` lines.
Some remaining tests still use equality inside comprehensions, parenthesized asserts, and other shapes that the line-based rewrite would misread.
Rewrite those sites by hand first so the later mechanical conversion stays safe.
The commit also simplifies the dead `len(["errors"]) == 0` branch in `blocktools.py`, which can never be true.
The option is unused since the last removals in:
* 4c40a923f0, and
* 81bf3ebff7
It was brittle and lead to intermittent test issues. Generally, it is
also confusing, because if a test wanted to connect nodes without
checking their connection, it can use `addnode`, like the rpc_setban.py
test.
So fix all issues by removing it.
This waits for any disconnect (e.g. from a restart of one of the nodes)
to fully happen before the next connect.
Can be reviewed with the git option:
--color-moved=dimmed-zebra
`shutil.rmtree` is dangerous because it recursively deletes. There are
not likely to be any issues with it's current uses, but it is possible
that some of the assumptions being made now won't always be true, e.g.
about what some of the variables being passed to `rmtree` represent.
For some remaining uses of rmtree that can't be avoided for now, use
`cleanup_dir` which asserts that the recursively deleted folder is a
child of the the `tmpdir` of the test run. Otherwise,
`tempfile.TemporaryDirectory` should be used which does it's own
deleting on being garbage collected, or old fashioned unlinking and
rmdir in the case of directories with known contents.
This should fix https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/34367
I am not familiar with Windows sockets thread-safety, but creating the
event loop on the main thread, and running it in the network thread
could lead to a fast abort in Python on Windows (without any stderr):

However, the patch seems trivial to review, harmless, and easy to
revert, so it may be a good try to fix the intermittent Windows Python
crash.
The error was added in commit 1ea7e45a1f,
because there was an additional confusing `AssertionError: [node 0]
Error: no RPC connection` instead of just a single `FileNotFoundError:
[Errno 2] No such file or directory`.
This is no longer needed on current master.
Also, the test is incomplete, because it was just checking bitcoind and
bitcoin-cli, not any other missing binaries.
Also, after the previous commit, it would not work in combination with
--valgrind.
Instead of trying to make it complete, and work in all combinations,
just remove it, because the already existing error will be clear in any
case.
This can be tested via:
```sh

This commit fixes this issue by running `bitcoin` under valgrind. Also,
it comes with other improvements:
* Drop the outdated valgrind 3.14 requirement, because there is no
distro that ships a version that old anymore.
* Drop the VALGRIND_SUPPRESSIONS_FILE env var handling, because it was
presumably never used since it was introduced. Also, the use-case
seems limited.
Review note:
The set_cmd_args was ignoring the --valgrind test option.
In theory, this could be fixed by refactoring Binaries::node_argv() to
be used here. However, for now, just re-implement the node_argv logic in
set_cmd_args to prepend the valgrind cmd.

Pull request description:
This is the final in a series of PRs that implement the necessary changes for embedding of asmap data into the binary. This last part add the initial asmap data, implements the build changes and adds further documentation.
Currently an asmap file needs to be acquired by there user from some location or the user needs to generate one themselves. Then they need to move the file to the right place in datadir or pass the path to the file as `-asmap=PATH` in order to use the asmap feature. The change here allows for builds to embed asmap data into the bitcoind binary which makes it possible to use the feature without handling of the asmap file by the user. If the user starts bitcoind with `-asmap` the embedded data will be used for bucketing of nodes.
The data lives in the repository at `src/node/data/ip_asn.dat` and can be replaced with a new version at any time. The idea is that the data should be updated with every release. By default the data at that location is embedded into the binary but there is also a build option to prevent this (`-DWITH_EMBEDDED_ASMAP=OFF`). In this case the original behavior of the `-asmap` option is maintained.

It is unclear why the fallback should be an empty message, when it is
better to include all rpc_error details that are available.
Also, include the http status.
This allows to revert commit 6354b4fd7f,
because it is no longer needed.
Currently, if the node replies to any command with an error during
the test framework's setup(), we log the generic and not really useful
"Unexpected exception" from the BaseException catch, with no further
information.
This isn't helpful for diagnosing the issue. Fix it by explicitly handling
JSONRPCException and logging the response error message and http status
code.

The encoding arg is confusing, because it is not applied consistently
for all IO.
Also, it is useless, as the majority of files are ASCII encoded, which
are fine to encode and decode with any mode.
Moreover, UTF-8 is already required for most scripts to work properly,
so setting the encoding twice is redundant.
So remove the encoding from most IO. It would be fine to remove from all
IO, however I kept it for two files:
* contrib/asmap/asmap-tool.py: This specifically looks for utf-8
encoding errors, so it makes sense to sepecify the utf-8 encoding
explicitly.
* test/functional/test_framework/test_node.py: Reading the debug log in
text mode specifically counts the utf-8 characters (not bytes), so it
makes sense to specify the utf-8 encoding explicitly.
88b0647f02 wallet: Always write last hardened cache flag in migrated wallets (Ava Chow)
8a08eef645 tests: Check that the last hardened cache upgrade occurs (Ava Chow)
Pull request description:
#32597 set the descriptor cache upgraded flag for newly created wallets, but migrated wallets still did not have the flag set when they are migrated. For consistency, and to avoid an unnecessary upgrade, we should be setting this flag for migrated wallets.
The flag would end up being set anyways at the end of migration when the wallet is reloaded as it would perform the automatic upgrade at that time. However, this is unnecessary and we should just set it from the get go.
This PR also adds a couple tests to verify that the flag is being set, and that the upgrade is being performed.

With this change, tests can specify `self.extra_init = [{ipcbind: True}]` to
start a node listening on an IPC socket, instead of needing to choose which
node binary to invoke and what `self.extra_args=[["-ipcbind=..."]]` value to
pass to it.
The eliminates boilerplate code #30437 (interface_ipc_mining.py), #32297
(interface_ipc_cli.py), and #33201 (interface_ipc.py) previously needed in
their test setup.
Set new `BitcoinTestFramework.binary_paths.bitcoin_bin` property with path to
the `bitcoin` wrapper binary. This allows new tests for `bitcoin-mine` in
#30437 and `bitcoin-cli` in #32297 to find the `bitcoin` binary and call
`bitcoin -m` to start nodes with IPC support. This way the new tests can run
whenever the ENABLE_IPC build option is enabled, instead of only running when
the `BITCOIN_CMD` environment variable is set to `bitcoin -m`
When loading an older wallet without the last hardened cache, an
automatic upgrade should be performed. Check this in
wallet_backwards_compatibility.py
When migrating a wallet, the migrated wallet should always have the last
hardened cache, so verify in wallet_migration.py
This adds a missing catch for BaseException (e.g. SystemExit), which
would otherwise be silently ignored.
Also, remove the redundant other catches, which are just calling
log.exception with a redundant log message.
Before this change, when a functional test is run without building
the source, the error message suggested that previous release binaries
were missing.
When no previous release version is set, make the error message more
specifically about bitcoind.

Pull request description:
Fixes#32264
I looked into all current failures listed in the issue, as well all tests that are already disabled for the cli with `self.supports_cli = False`. There are several reasons why existing tests fail with `--usecli` on many systems, the most important ones are:
- Most common reason is that the test executes a RPC call with a large arg that exceeds `MAX_ARG_STRLEN` of the OS, which is usually 128kb on linux: This is fixed by using `-stdin` for these large calls (idea by 0xB10C)
- they test specifically the rpc interface - nothing to do there except disabling.
- Some functional test submit wrong types to params on purpose to test the error message (which is different when using the cli) - deactivated these specific subtests locally for the cli when there is just one or two of them, deactivated the entire tests when there are more spots
- When python sets `None` for an arg, the cli converts this to 'null' in `arg_to_cli`. This is fine e.g. for boolean args, but doesn't work for strings where it's interpreted as the string 'null'. Bypass this for named args by not including args in case the value is `None` for the cli is used (it's effectively the same as leaving the optional arg out).
- the `height_or_hash` param used in some RPC needs to be converted to a JSON (effectively adding full quotes).
- Some tests were marked with `self.supports_cli = False` in the past but run fine on master today - enabled those.
In total, this PR fixes all tests that fail on master and reduces the number of tests that are deactivated (`self.supports_cli = False`) from 40 to 21.
It also adds `--usecli` to one CI job (multiprocess, i686, DEBUG) to detect regressions.

Pull request description:
This PR updates the `test/get_previous_releases.py` script to also work on Windows by changing to be pure python rather than using unix tools such as `curl` and `tar`.
This enables additional functional tests to run such as `wallet_migration.py`, `mempool_compatability.py` and `wallet_backwards_compatibility.py`.
Unfortunately `feature_unsupported_utxo_db.py` _could_ run but this test requires Bitcoin `v0.14.3` which will not run under windows with emojis in the data directory (as the functional test runner has by default) . This test could be run as it's own step in the ci workflow file and would pass but as it's quite an old version / feature I have assumed it's not worth worrying about and best just to exclude.
Two tests needed to be slightly modified to run under windows. Both were issues with trying to overwrite a file that already exists which windows seems to be more strict on than the unix based systems.
Finally, building from source has been dropped from the `get_previous_releases.py` script. This had not been updated after the move to cmake and so it was assumed that nobody could have been using that feature.

Using the get_previous_releases.py script to build from source only works for
releases prior to v29 due to removal of Autotools (in favor of CMake). It also
does not support building on Windows, and we are adding support for downloading
Windows release binaries in later commits of this PR.
As there were no complaints during review, it is assumed nobody uses this
functionality.
