To avoid future code changes from reintroducing the ambiguity fixed
by the previous commit, mark m_tip_block private and Assume that
it's not set to uint256::ZERO.
Instead of having a single NodeContext::shutdown member that is used both to
request shutdowns and check if they have been requested, use separate members
for each. Benefits of this change:
1. Should make code a little clearer and easier to search because it is easier
to see which parts of code are triggering shutdowns and which parts are just
checking to see if they were triggered.
2. Makes it possible for init.cpp to specify additional code to run when a
shutdown is requested, like signalling the m_tip_block_cv condition variable.
Motivation for this change was to remove hacky NodeContext argument and
m_tip_block_cv access from the StopRPC function, so StopRPC can just be
concerned with RPC functionality, not other node functionality.
This is not strictly required, but all places using m_tip_block_cv
(except shutdown) already take the lock. The annotation makes it easier
to catch potential deadlocks before review.
Adding the missing lock to the shutdown sequence is a bugfix.
An alternative would be to take the lock and release it before
notifying, see
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/30967#discussion_r1778899716
Also signal m_tip_block_cv when StopRPC is called, for
consistency with g_best_block_cv. This is handled in
StopRPC instead of OnRPCStopped() because the latter
is deleted in a later commit.

Instead of having separate warning functions (and globals) for each
different warning that can be raised, encapsulate this logic into
a single class and allow to (un)set any number of warnings.
Introduces behaviour change:
- the `-alertnotify` command is executed for all
`KernelNotifications::warningSet` calls, which now also covers the
`LARGE_WORK_INVALID_CHAIN` warning.
- previously, warnings were returned based on a predetermined order,
e.g. with the "pre-release test build" warning always first. This
is no longer the case, and Warnings::GetMessages() will return
messages sorted by the id of the warning.
Removes warnings.cpp from kernel.
The extra `bilingual_str` argument of the fatal error notifications and
`node::AbortNode()` is often unused and when used usually contains the
same string as the message argument. It also seems to be confusing,
since it is not consistently used for errors requiring user action. For
example some assumeutxo fatal errors require the user to do something,
but are not translated.
So simplify the fatal error and abort node interfaces by only passing a
translated string. This slightly changes the fatal errors displayed to
the user.
Also de-duplicate the abort error log since it is repeated in noui.cpp.
Use SignalInterrupt object instead. There is a slight change in behavior here
because the previous StartShutdown code used to abort on failure and the
new code logs errors instead.
This change drops the last kernel dependency on shutdown.cpp. It also adds new
hooks for libbitcoinkernel applications to be able to interrupt kernel
operations when the chain tip changes.
This is a refactoring that does not affect behavior. (Looking at the code it
can appear like the new break statement in the ActivateBestChain function is a
change in behavior, but actually the previous StartShutdown call was indirectly
triggering a break before, because it was causing m_chainman.m_interrupt to be
true. The new code just makes the break more obvious.)
FatalError replaces what previously was the AbortNode function in
shutdown.cpp.
This commit is part of the libbitcoinkernel project and further removes
the shutdown's and, more generally, the kernel library's dependency on
interface_ui with a kernel notification method. By removing interface_ui
from the kernel library, its dependency on boost is reduced to just
boost::multi_index. At the same time it also takes a step towards
de-globalising the interrupt infrastructure.

This is done in addition with the following commit. Both have the goal
of getting rid of direct calls to AbortNode from kernel code. This extra
flushError method is added to notify specifically about errors that
arrise when flushing (syncing) block data to disk. Unlike other
instances, the current calls to AbortNode in the blockstorage flush
functions do not report an error to their callers.

well as util/system.

Define a new kernel notification class with virtual methods for
notifying about internal kernel events. Create a new file in the node
library for defining a function creating the default set of notification
methods such that these do not need to be re-defined all over the
codebase. As a first step, add a `blockTip` method, wrapping
`uiInterface.NotifyBlockTip`.
