The current implementation of rngfill is prone to false warnings from GCC about array bounds violations. Looking at the code, the implementation naively manipulates both the bytes count and the buffer pointer directly to ensure the trailing memcpy doesn't overrun the buffer. As expressed, there is a data dependency on both fields between loop iterations.
Now, ideally, an optimizing compiler would realize that these dependencies were unnecessary and end up restructuring its intermediate representation into a functionally equivalent form with them absent. However, the point at which this occurs may be disjoint from when warning analyses are performed, potentially rendering them more difficult to
determine precisely.
In addition, it may also consume a portion of the budget the optimizer has allocated to attempting to improve a translation unit's performance. Given this is a function template which requires context-sensitive instantiation, this code would be more prone than most to being inlined, with a decrease in optimization budget corresponding to the effort the optimizer has already expended, having already optimized one or more calling functions. Thus, the scope for impacting the the ultimate quality of the code generated is elevated.
For this change, we rearrange things so that the location and contents of each memcpy can be computed independently, relying on a simple loop iteration counter as the only changing input between iterations.
The codebase is filled with includes that are unused, and which thus can be removed. At the same time, the files often do not include all headers that contain the definitions used in those files. This change uses clang-format and clang-tidy to clean up the includes, with minor manual intervention to ensure the code compiles on all platforms.
Combine multiple related debug log data points into a single
message. Allows quick correlation of events that
previously were either not logged or, if logged, strewn
across multiple lines, making correlation difficult.
The Heartbeat Timer and consensus ledger accept processing
each have this capability.
Also guarantees that log entries will be written if the
node is a validator, regardless of log severity level.
Otherwise, the level of these messages is at INFO severity.
