Pull request description:

  On the way of transit from `RecursiveMutex` to `Mutex` (see #19303) it is crucial to have run-time `AssertLockHeld()` assertion that does _not_ hide compile-time Clang Thread Safety Analysis warnings.

  On master (65e4ecabd5b4252154640c7bac38c92a3f3a7018) using `AssertLockHeld()` could hide Clang Thread Safety Analysis warnings, e.g., with the following patch applied:
  ```diff

  +++ b/src/txmempool.h

       void removeForBlock(const std::vector<CTransactionRef>& vtx, unsigned int nBlockHeight) EXCLUSIVE_LOCKS_REQUIRED(cs);

  ```
  Clang compiles the code without any thread safety warnings.

  See "Add missed thread safety annotations" commit for the actual thread safety warnings that are fixed in this PR.

Bitcoin Core

Setup

Bitcoin Core is the original Bitcoin client and it builds the backbone of the network. It downloads and, by default, stores the entire history of Bitcoin transactions, which requires a few hundred gigabytes of disk space. Depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or more.

To download Bitcoin Core, visit bitcoincore.org.

Running

The following are some helpful notes on how to run Bitcoin Core on your native platform.

Unix

Unpack the files into a directory and run:

  • bin/bitcoin-qt (GUI) or
  • bin/bitcoind (headless)

Windows

Unpack the files into a directory, and then run bitcoin-qt.exe.

macOS

Drag Bitcoin Core to your applications folder, and then run Bitcoin Core.
