a201a99f8cthread-safety: fix annotations with REVERSE_LOCK (Cory Fields)aeea5f0ec1thread-safety: add missing lock annotation (Cory Fields)832c57a534thread-safety: modernize thread safety macros (Cory Fields) Pull request description: This is one of several PRs to cleanup/modernize our threading primitives. While replacing the old critical section locks in the mining code with a `REVERSE_LOCK`, I noticed that our thread-safety annotations weren't hooked up to it. This PR gets `REVERSE_LOCK` working properly. Firstly it modernizes the attributes as-recommended by the [clang docs](https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ThreadSafetyAnalysis.html) (ctrl+f for `USE_LOCK_STYLE_THREAD_SAFETY_ATTRIBUTES`). There's a subtle difference between the old `unlock_function` and new `release_capability`, where our `reverse_lock` only works with the latter. I believe this is an upstream bug. I've [reported and attempted a fix here](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/139343), but either way it makes sense to me to modernize. The second adds a missing annotation pointed out by a fixed `REVERSE_LOCK`. Because clang's thread-safety annotations aren't passed through a reference to `UniqueLock` as one may assume (see [here](https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ThreadSafetyAnalysis.html#no-alias-analysis) for more details), `cs_main` has to be listed explicitly as a requirement. The last commit actually fixes the `reverse_lock` by making it a `SCOPED_LOCK` and using the pattern [found in a clang test](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/main/clang/test/SemaCXX/warn-thread-safety-analysis.cpp#L3126). Though the docs don't describe how to accomplish it, the functionality was added [in this commit](6a68efc959). Due to aliasing issues (see link above), in order to work correctly, the original mutex has to be passed along with the lock, so all existing `REVERSE_LOCK`s have been updated. To ensure that the mutexes actually match, a runtime assertion is added. ACKs for top commit: fjahr: re-ACKa201a99f8cdavidgumberg: reACKa201a99f8ctheuni: Ok, done. Those last pushes can be ignored.

Bitcoin Core integration/staging tree
For an immediately usable, binary version of the Bitcoin Core software, see https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/.
What is Bitcoin Core?
Bitcoin Core connects to the Bitcoin peer-to-peer network to download and fully validate blocks and transactions. It also includes a wallet and graphical user interface, which can be optionally built.
Further information about Bitcoin Core is available in the doc folder.
License
Bitcoin Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/license/MIT.
Development Process
The master branch is regularly built (see doc/build-*.md for instructions) and tested, but it is not guaranteed to be
completely stable. Tags are created
regularly from release branches to indicate new official, stable release versions of Bitcoin Core.
The https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui repository is used exclusively for the development of the GUI. Its master branch is identical in all monotree repositories. Release branches and tags do not exist, so please do not fork that repository unless it is for development reasons.
The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md and useful hints for developers can be found in doc/developer-notes.md.
Testing
Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.
Automated Testing
Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to
submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run
(assuming they weren't disabled during the generation of the build system) with: ctest. Further details on running
and extending unit tests can be found in /src/test/README.md.
There are also regression and integration tests, written
in Python.
These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: build/test/functional/test_runner.py
(assuming build is your build directory).
The CI (Continuous Integration) systems make sure that every pull request is tested on Windows, Linux, and macOS. The CI must pass on all commits before merge to avoid unrelated CI failures on new pull requests.
Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing
Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is not straightforward.
Translations
Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to Bitcoin Core's Transifex page.
Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the translation process for details on how this works.
Important: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.
