The total difficulty is the sum of all block difficulties from genesis
to a certain block. This value was used in PoW for deciding which chain
is heavier, and thus which chain to select. Since PoS has a different
fork selection algorithm, all blocks since the merge have a difficulty
of 0, and all total difficulties are the same for the past 2 years.
Whilst the TDs are mostly useless nowadays, there was never really a
reason to mess around removing them since they are so tiny. This
reasoning changes when we go down the path of pruned chain history. In
order to reconstruct any TD, we **must** retrieve all the headers from
chain head to genesis and then iterate all the difficulties to compute
the TD.
In a world where we completely prune past chain segments (bodies,
receipts, headers), it is not possible to reconstruct the TD at all. In
a world where we still keep chain headers and prune only the rest,
reconstructing it possible as long as we process (or download) the chain
forward from genesis, but trying to snap sync the head first and
backfill later hits the same issue, the TD becomes impossible to
calculate until genesis is backfilled.
All in all, the TD is a messy out-of-state, out-of-consensus computed
field that is overall useless nowadays, but code relying on it forces
the client into certain modes of operation and prevents other modes or
other optimizations. This PR completely nukes out the TD from the node.
It doesn't compute it, it doesn't operate on it, it's as if it didn't
even exist.
Caveats:
- Whenever we have APIs that return TD (devp2p handshake, tracer, etc.)
we return a TD of 0.
- For era files, we recompute the TD during export time (fairly quick)
to retain the format content.
- It is not possible to "verify" the merge point (i.e. with TD gone, TTD
is useless). Since we're not verifying PoW any more, just blindly trust
it, not verifying but blindly trusting the many year old merge point
seems just the same trust model.
- Our tests still need to be able to generate pre and post merge blocks,
so they need a new way to split the merge without TTD. The PR introduces
a settable ttdBlock field on the consensus object which is used by tests
as the block where originally the TTD happened. This is not needed for
live nodes, we never want to generate old blocks.
- One merge transition consensus test was disabled. With a
non-operational TD, testing how the client reacts to TTD is useless, it
cannot react.
Questions:
- Should we also drop total terminal difficulty from the genesis json?
It's a number we cannot react on any more, so maybe it would be cleaner
to get rid of even more concepts.

rebased https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/29766 . The
downstream branch appears to have been deleted and I don't have perms to
push to that fork.
`TerminalTotalDifficultyPassed` is removed. `TerminalTotalDifficulty`
must now be non-nil, and it is expected that networks are already
merged: we can only import PoW/Clique chains, not produce blocks on
them.

This is a successor PR to #25743. This PR is based on a new iteration of
the spec: https://github.com/ethereum/execution-apis/pull/484.
`eth_multicall` takes in a list of blocks, each optionally overriding
fields like number, timestamp, etc. of a base block. Each block can
include calls. At each block users can override the state. There are
extra features, such as:
- Include ether transfers as part of the logs
- Overriding precompile codes with evm bytecode
- Redirecting accounts to another address
## Breaking changes
This PR includes the following breaking changes:
- Block override fields of eth_call and debug_traceCall have had the
following fields renamed
- `coinbase` -> `feeRecipient`
- `random` -> `prevRandao`
- `baseFee` -> `baseFeePerGas`

The clean trie cache is persisted periodically, therefore Geth can
quickly warmup the cache in next restart.
However it will reduce the robustness of system. The assumption is
held in Geth that if the parent trie node is present, then the entire
sub-trie associated with the parent are all prensent.
Imagine the scenario that Geth rewinds itself to a past block and
restart, but Geth finds the root node of "future state" in clean
cache then regard this state is present in disk, while is not in fact.
Another example is offline pruning tool. Whenever an offline pruning
is performed, the clean cache file has to be removed to aviod hitting
the root node of "deleted states" in clean cache.
All in all, compare with the minor performance gain, system robustness
is something we care more.
This is a breaking GraphQL API change. All numeric values are now encoded as
hex strings. The motivation for this change is matching JSON-RPC outputs more
closely.
Numbers in query parameters are accepted as both decimal integers and hex strings.
Fixes multiple data races caused by the fact that resolving fields are done concurrently by the graphql library. It also enforces caching at the stateobject level for account fields.
Here we add special handling for sending an error response when the write timeout of the
HTTP server is just about to expire. This is surprisingly difficult to get right, since is
must be ensured that all output is fully flushed in time, which needs support from
multiple levels of the RPC handler stack:
The timeout response can't use chunked transfer-encoding because there is no way to write
the final terminating chunk. net/http writes it when the topmost handler returns, but the
timeout will already be over by the time that happens. We decided to disable chunked
encoding by setting content-length explicitly.
Gzip compression must also be disabled for timeout responses because we don't know the
true content-length before compressing all output, i.e. compression would reintroduce
chunked transfer-encoding.
This adds a cache for block logs which is shared by all filters. The cache
size of is configurable using the `--cache.blocklogs` flag.

This enables the following linters
- typecheck
- unused
- staticcheck
- bidichk
- durationcheck
- exportloopref
- gosec
WIth a few exceptions.
- We use a deprecated protobuf in trezor. I didn't want to mess with that, since I cannot meaningfully test any changes there.
- The deprecated TypeMux is used in a few places still, so the warning for it is silenced for now.
- Using string type in context.WithValue is apparently wrong, one should use a custom type, to prevent collisions between different places in the hierarchy of callers. That should be fixed at some point, but may require some attention.
- The warnings for using weak random generator are squashed, since we use a lot of random without need for cryptographic guarantees.
This commit replaces ioutil.TempDir with t.TempDir in tests. The
directory created by t.TempDir is automatically removed when the test
and all its subtests complete.
Prior to this commit, temporary directory created using ioutil.TempDir
had to be removed manually by calling os.RemoveAll, which is omitted in
some tests. The error handling boilerplate e.g.
defer func() {
if err := os.RemoveAll(dir); err != nil {
t.Fatal(err)
}
}
is also tedious, but t.TempDir handles this for us nicely.

This PR fixes the receipt status field to be decimal instead of a hex string,
as called for by the spec.

The tests sometimes failed with certain go versions because
the behavior of http.Server.Shutdown changed over time. A bug
that was fixed in Go 1.15 could cause active connections on unrelated
servers to close unexpectedly. This is fixed by avoiding use of the
same port number in all tests.
This changes the JSON encoding of blocks returned by the API
to have decimal instead of hexadecimal numbers. The spec wants
it this way.

This PR significantly changes the APIs for instantiating Ethereum nodes in
a Go program. The new APIs are not backwards-compatible, but we feel that
this is made up for by the much simpler way of registering services on
node.Node. You can find more information and rationale in the design
document: https://gist.github.com/renaynay/5bec2de19fde66f4d04c535fd24f0775.
There is also a new feature in Node's Go API: it is now possible to
register arbitrary handlers on the user-facing HTTP server. In geth, this
facility is used to enable GraphQL.
There is a single minor change relevant for geth users in this PR: The
GraphQL API is no longer available separately from the JSON-RPC HTTP
server. If you want GraphQL, you need to enable it using the
./geth --http --graphql flag combination.
The --graphql.port and --graphql.addr flags are no longer available.

* Renamed Context to Contract
* Changed initialiser of state transition & unexported methods
* Removed the Execution object and refactor `Call`, `CallCode` &
`Create` in to their own functions instead of being methods.
* Removed the hard dep on the state for the VM. The VM now
depends on a Database interface returned by the environment. In the
process the core now depends less on the statedb by usage of the env
* Moved `Log` from package `core/state` to package `core/vm`.
This moves call and create to the specified environments. Vms are no
longer re-used. Vm uses environment's Call(Code) and Create in order to
execute new contracts or transfer value between accounts.
State transition now uses the same mechanism described above.
