Here we add a Go API for running tracing plugins within the main block import process.
As an advanced user of geth, you can now create a Go file in eth/tracers/live/, and within
that file register your custom tracer implementation. Then recompile geth and select your tracer
on the command line. Hooks defined in the tracer will run whenever a block is processed.
The hook system is defined in package core/tracing. It uses a struct with callbacks, instead of
requiring an interface, for several reasons:
- We plan to keep this API stable long-term. The core/tracing hook API does not depend on
on deep geth internals.
- There are a lot of hooks, and tracers will only need some of them. Using a struct allows you
to implement only the hooks you want to actually use.
All existing tracers in eth/tracers/native have been rewritten to use the new hook system.
This change breaks compatibility with the vm.EVMLogger interface that we used to have.
If you are a user of vm.EVMLogger, please migrate to core/tracing, and sorry for breaking
your stuff. But we just couldn't have both the old and new tracing APIs coexist in the EVM.

As SELF-DESTRUCT opcode is disabled in the cancun fork(unless the
account is created within the same transaction, nothing to delete
in this case). The account will only be deleted in the following
cases:
- The account is created within the same transaction. In this case
the original storage was empty.
- The account is empty(zero nonce, zero balance, zero code) and
is touched within the transaction. Fortunately this kind of accounts
are not-existent on ethereum-mainnet.
All in all, after cancun, we are pretty sure there is no large contract
deletion and we don't need this mechanism for oom protection.
This change makes use of uin256 to represent balance in state. It touches primarily upon statedb, stateobject and state processing, trying to avoid changes in transaction pools, core types, rpc and tracers.
* rpc: make subscription test faster
reduces time for TestClientSubscriptionChannelClose
from 25 sec to < 1 sec.
* trie: cache trie nodes for faster sanity check
This reduces the time spent on TestIncompleteSyncHash
from ~25s to ~16s.
* core/forkid: speed up validation test
This takes the validation test from > 5s to sub 1 sec
* core/state: improve snapshot test run
brings the time for TestSnapshotRandom from 13s down to 6s
* accounts/keystore: improve keyfile test
This removes some unnecessary waits and reduces the
runtime of TestUpdatedKeyfileContents from 5 to 3 seconds
* trie: remove resolver
* trie: only check ~5% of all trie nodes
This changes implements faster post-selfdestruct iteration of storage slots for deletion, by using snapshot-storage+stacktrie to recover the trienodes to be deleted. This mechanism is only implemented for path-based schema.
For hash-based schema, the entire post-selfdestruct storage iteration is skipped, with this change, since hash-based does not actually perform deletion anyway.

This change makes the StateDB track the state key value diff of a block transition.
We already tracked current account and storage values for the purpose of updating
the state snapshot. With this PR, we now also track the original (pre-transition) values
of accounts and storage slots.
The state availability is checked during the creation of a state reader.
- In hash-based database, if the specified root node does not exist on disk disk, then
the state reader won't be created and an error will be returned.
- In path-based database, if the specified state layer is not available, then the
state reader won't be created and an error will be returned.
This change also contains a stricter semantics regarding the `Commit` operation: once it has been performed, the trie is no longer usable, and certain operations will return an error.
This change ports some changes from the main PBSS PR:
- get rid of callback function in `trie.Database.Commit` which is not required anymore
- rework the `nodeResolver` in `trie.Iterator` to make it compatible with multiple state scheme
- some other shallow changes in tests and typo-fixes
This change introduces garbage collection for the light client. Historical
chain data is deleted periodically. If you want to disable the GC, use
the --light.nopruning flag.
This finally adds the error check that the documentation of StateDB.dbErr
promises to do. dbErr was added in 9e5f03b6c (June 2017), and the check was
already missing in that commit. We somehow survived without it for three years.
With this commit, core/state's access to the underlying key/value database is
mediated through an interface. Database errors are tracked in StateDB and
returned by CommitTo or the new Error method.
Motivation for this change: We can remove the light client's duplicated copy of
core/state. The light client now supports node iteration, so tracing and storage
enumeration can work with the light client (not implemented in this commit).
