This PR introduces a new config field SyncFromCheckpoint for light client.
In some special scenarios, it's required to start synchronization from some
arbitrary checkpoint or even from the scratch. So this PR offers this
flexibility to users so that the synchronization start point can be configured.
There are two relevant configs: SyncFromCheckpoint and Checkpoint.
- If the SyncFromCheckpoint is true, the light client will try to sync from the
specified checkpoint.
- If the Checkpoint is not configured, then the light client will sync from the
scratch(from the latest header if the database is not empty)
Additional notes: these two configs are not visible in the CLI flags but only
accessable in the config file.
Example Usage:
[Eth]
SyncFromCheckpoint = true
[Eth.Checkpoint]
SectionIndex = 100
SectionHead = "0xabc"
CHTRoot = "0xabc"
BloomRoot = "0xabc"
PS. Historical checkpoint can be retrieved from the synced full node or light
client via les_getCheckpoint API.
This changes the chainID RPC method to return an error when EIP-155 is not yet
active at the current block height. It used to simply return zero in this case, but
that's confusing.
During the snap and eth refactor, the net_version rpc call was falsely deprecated.
This restores the net_version RPC handler as most eth2 nodes and other software
depend on it.
This PR implements unclean shutdown marker. Every time geth boots, it adds a timestamp to a list of timestamps in the database. This list is capped at 10. At a clean shutdown, the timestamp is removed again.
Thus, when geth exits unclean, the marker remains, and at boot up we show the most recent unclean shutdowns to the user, which makes it easier to diagnose root-causes to certain problems.

In miner/worker.go, there are two goroutine using channel w.newWorkCh: newWorkerLoop() sends to this channel, and mainLoop() receives from this channel. Only the receive operation is in a select.
However, w.exitCh may be closed by another goroutine. This is fine for the receive since receive is in select, but if the send operation is blocking, then it will block forever. This commit puts the send in a select, so it won't block even if w.exitCh is closed.
Similarly, there are two goroutines using channel errc: the parent that runs the test receives from it, and the child created at line 573 sends to it. If the parent goroutine exits too early by calling t.Fatalf() at line 614, then the child goroutine will be blocked at line 574 forever. This commit adds 1 buffer to errc. Now send will not block, and receive is not influenced because receive still needs to wait for the send.

This changes how the downloader works, a little bit. Previously, when block sync started,
we immediately started filling up to 8192 blocks. Usually this is fine, blocks are small
in the early numbers. The threshold then is lowered as we measure the size of the blocks
that are filled.
However, if the node is shut down and restarts syncing while we're in a heavy segment,
that might be bad. This PR introduces a more conservative initial threshold of 2K blocks
instead.
* "Downloader queue stats" is now a DEBUG information
I think this info is more a DEBUG related information then an INFO. If it must remains an INFO, maybe it can be slow down to one time every 5 minutes or so.
* Update queue.go
"Downloader queue stats" information is now provided once every minute instead of once every 10 seconds.
