Ref: #2563
I added IPC as an unencrypted alternative to SocketPV.
Besides I fixed the following aspects of SocketPV:
Added locking since we are operating on a single socket
The connection deadline is extended every time a successful packet exchange happens; otherwise the connection would always die permanently x seconds after the connection was established.
Added a ping/heartbeat mechanism to keep the connection alive; native TCP keepalives do not work in this use-case
* Extend the SecureConn socket to extend its deadline
* Add locking & ping/heartbeat packets to SocketPV
* Implement IPC PV and abstract socket signing
* Refactored IPC and SocketPV
* Implement @melekes comments
* Fixes to rebase
We need Google Analytics to start measuring how many developers are viewing our documentation. That way we can gauge how successful an/or useful various pages are. VuePress supports GA and all we have to provide is the tracking code.
This PR also renames the static docs site to "Tendermint Documentation", which is a better representation of the contents than only "Tendermint Core".
This is a performance regression, but will also spare the types directory
from knowing about RFC 6962, which is a more correct abstraction. For txs
this performance hit will be fixed soon with #2603. For evidence, the
performance impact is negligible due to it being capped at a small number.
* p2p: NodeInfo is an interface
* (squash) fixes from review
* (squash) more fixes from review
* p2p: remove peerConn.HandshakeTimeout
* p2p: NodeInfo is two interfaces. Remove String()
* fixes from review
* remove test code from peer.RemoteIP()
* p2p: remove peer.OriginalAddr(). See #2618
* use a mockPeer in peer_set_test.go
* p2p: fix testNodeInfo naming
* p2p: remove unused var
* remove testRandNodeInfo
* fix linter
* fix retry dialing self
* fix rpc
* WIP: switching to fixed offsets for SignBytes
* add version field to sign bytes and update order
* more comments on test-cases and add a tc with a chainID
* remove amino:"write_empty" tag
- it doesn't affect if default fixed size fields ((u)int64) are
written or not
- add comment about int->int64 casting
* update CHANGELOG_PENDING
* update documentation
* add back link to issue #1622 in documentation
* remove JSON tags and add (failing test-case)
* fix failing test
* update test-vectors due to added `Type` field
* change Type field from string to byte and add new type alias
- SignedMsgType replaces VoteTypePrevote, VoteTypePrecommit and adds new
ProposalType to separate votes from proposal when signed
- update test-vectors
* fix remains from rebasing
* use SignMessageType instead of byte everywhere
* fixes from review
* require block.Time of the fist block to be genesis time
Refs #2587:
```
We only start validating block.Time when Height > 1, because there is no
commit to compute the median timestamp from for the first block. This
means a faulty proposer could make the first block with whatever time
they want.
Instead, we should require the timestamp of block 1 to match the genesis
time.
I discovered this while refactoring the ValidateBlock tests to be
table-driven while working on tests for #2560.
```
* do not accept blocks with negative height
* update changelog and spec
* nanos precision for test genesis time
* Fix failing test (#2607)
* crypto/merkle: Remove byter in favor of plain byte slices
This PR is fully backwards compatible in terms of function output!
(The Go API differs though) The only test case changes was to refactor
it to be table driven.
* Update godocs per review comments
* [libs/events] add more godoc comments
* [libs/events] refactor code
- improve var naming
- improve code structure
- do not use defers for unlocking mutexes (defer takes time)
* Switch nodeID to be tmhash.Size, add test names for net addr tests
Both of these came up when locally trying to change tmhash size.
* fix error introduced by merge
* Fix random distribution in bitArray.PickRandom
Previously it was very biased. 63 "_" followed by a single "x" had
much greater odds of being chosen. Additionally, the last element was
skewed. This fixes that by first preproccessing the set of all true
indices, and then randomly selecting a single element from there.
This commit also makes the code here significantly simpler, and
improves test cases.
* unlock mtx right after we select true indices
