* consensus: use the maxGasLimit constant to check the header.GasLimit to avoid creating new variables repeatedly
* consensus: check the header.GasLimit by the public constant MaxGasLimit
* consensus: check the header.GasLimit by the constant MaxGasLimit
This change adds the --catalyst flag, enabling an RPC API for eth2 integration.
In this initial version, catalyst mode also disables all peer-to-peer networking.

The PR makes use of the stacktrie, which is is more lenient on resource consumption, than the regular trie, in cases where we only need it for DeriveSha
This PR implements the following modifications
- Don't shortcut check if block is present, thus avoid disk lookup
- Don't check hash ancestry in early-check (it's still done in parallel checker)
- Don't check time.Now for every single header
Charts and background info can be found here: https://github.com/holiman/headerimport/blob/main/README.md
With these changes, writing 1M headers goes down to from 80s to 62s.
This PR adds re-written difficulty calculators, which are based on uint256. It also adds a fuzzer + oss-fuzz integration for the new fuzzer. It does differential fuzzing between the new and old calculators.
Note: this PR does not actually enable the new calculators.
* miner: commit state which is relative with sealing result
* consensus, core, miner, mobile: introduce sealHash interface
* miner: evict pending task with threshold
* miner: go fmt
* consensus/ethash: add maxEpoch constant
* consensus/ethash: improve cache/dataset handling
There are two fixes in this commit:
Unmap the memory through a finalizer like the libethash wrapper did. The
release logic was incorrect and freed the memory while it was being
used, leading to crashes like in #14495 or #14943.
Track caches and datasets using simplelru instead of reinventing LRU
logic. This should make it easier to see whether it's correct.
* consensus/ethash: restore 'future item' logic in lru
* consensus/ethash: use mmap even in test mode
This makes it possible to shorten the time taken for TestCacheFileEvict.
* consensus/ethash: shuffle func calc*Size comments around
* consensus/ethash: ensure future cache/dataset is in the lru cache
* consensus/ethash: add issue link to the new test
* consensus/ethash: fix vet
* consensus/ethash: fix test
* consensus: tiny issue + nitpick fixes
* cmd, consensus, eth: split ethash related config to it own
* eth, consensus: minor polish
* eth, consenus, console: compress pow testing config field to single one
* consensus, eth: document pow mode
This PR polishes the EIP 100 difficulty adjustment algorithm
to match the same mechanisms as the Homestead was implemented
to keep the code uniform. It also avoids a few memory allocs
by reusing big1 and big2, pulling it out of the common package
and into ethash.
The commit also fixes chain maker to forward the uncle hash
when creating a simulated chain (it wasn't needed until now
so we just skipped a copy there).
