This continues the push of plumbing contexts through tendermint. I
attempted to find all goroutines in the production code (non-test) and
made sure that these threads would exit when their contexts were
canceled, and I believe this PR does that.
This is a very small change, but removes a method from the
`service.Service` interface (a win!) and forces callers to explicitly
pass loggers in to objects during construction rather than (later)
injecting them. There's not a real need for this kind of lazy
construction of loggers, and I think a decent potential for confusion
for mutable loggers.
The main concern I have is that this changes the constructor API for
ABCI clients. I think this is fine, and I suspect that as we plumb
contexts through, and make changes to the RPC services there'll be a
number of similar sorts of changes to various (quasi) public
interfaces, which I think we should welcome.
The main effect of this change is to flush the socket client and server message
encoding buffers immediately once the message is fully and correctly encoded.
This allows us to remove the timer and some other special cases, without
changing the observed behaviour of the system.
-- Background
The socket protocol client and server each use a buffered writer to encode
request and response messages onto the underlying connection. This reduces the
possibility of a single message being split across multiple writes, but has the
side-effect that a request may remain buffered for some time.
The implementation worked around this by keeping a ticker that occasionally
triggers a flush, and by flushing the writer in response to an explicit request
baked into the client/server protocol (see also #6994).
These workarounds are both unnecessary: Once a message has been dequeued for
sending and fully encoded in wire format, there is no real use keeping all or
part of it buffered locally. Moreover, using an asynchronous process to flush
the buffer makes the round-trip performance of the request unpredictable.
-- Benchmarks
Code: https://play.golang.org/p/0ChUOxJOiHt
I found no pre-existing performance benchmarks to justify the flush pattern,
but a natural question is whether this will significantly harm client/server
performance. To test this, I implemented a simple benchmark that transfers
randomly-sized byte buffers from a no-op "client" to a no-op "server" over a
Unix-domain socket, using a buffered writer, both with and without explicit
flushes after each write.
As the following data show, flushing every time (FLUSH=true) does reduce raw
throughput, but not by a significant amount except for very small request
sizes, where the transfer time is already trivial (1.9μs). Given that the
client is calibrated for 1MiB transactions, the overhead is not meaningful.
The percentage in each section is the speedup for flushing only when the buffer
is full, relative to flushing every block. The benchmark uses the default
buffer size (4096 bytes), which is the same value used by the socket client and
server implementation:
FLUSH NBLOCKS MAX AVG TOTAL ELAPSED TIME/BLOCK

true 2083 1048576 526379 1096449173 2.001817137s 961.025µs
(1.5%)
Note also that the FLUSH=false baseline is actually faster than the production
code, which flushes more often than is required by the buffer filling up.
Moreover, the timer slows down the overall transaction rate of the client and
server, indepenedent of how fast the socket transfer is, so the loss on a real
workload is probably much less.
## Description
Internalize some libs. This reduces the amount ot public API tendermint is supporting. The moved libraries are mainly ones that are used within Tendermint-core.
## Description
This PR wraps the stdlib sync.(RW)Mutex & godeadlock.(RW)Mutex. This enables using go-deadlock via a build flag instead of using sed to replace sync with godeadlock in all files
