If the number of peers a server has is below the configured
minimum peer limit, this commit will properly transition the
server's state to "disconnected".
The default limit for the minimum number of peers required was
0 meaning that a server that was connected but lost all its
peers would never transition to disconnected, since it could
never drop below zero peers.
This commit redefines the default minimum number of peers to 1
and produces a warning if the server is configured in a way
that will prevent it from ever achieving sufficient connectivity.
* Adds local file:// URL support to the [validator_list_sites] stanza.
The file:// URL must not contain a hostname. Allows a rippled node
operator to "sideload" a new list if their node is unable to reach
a validator list's web site before an old list expires. Lists
loaded from a file will be validated in the same way a downloaded
list is validated.
* Generalize file/dir "guards" from Config test so they can be reused
in other tests.
* Check for error when reading validators.txt. Saves some parsing and
checking of an empty string, and will give a more meaningful error.
* Completes RIPD-1674.
The WaitableEvent class was a leftover from the pre-Boost
version of Beast and used Windows- and pthread-specific
APIs.
This refactor replaces that functionality by using only
interfaces provided by the C++ standard, making the code
more portable.
Closes#2402.

In order to facilitate transaction signing, `rippled` offers the `sign` and
`sign_for` and `submit` commands, which, given a seed, can be used to sign or
sign-and-submit transactions. These commands are accessible from the command
line, as well as over the WebSocket and RPC interfaces that `rippled` can be
configured to provide.
These commands, unfortunately, have significant security implications:
1. They require divulging an account's seed (commonly known as a "secret
key") to the server.
2. When executing these commands against remote servers, the seeds can be
transported over clear-text links.
3. When executing these commands over the command line, the account
seed may be visible using common tools that show running processes
and may potentially be inadvertently stored by system monitoring
tools or facilities designed to maintain a history of previously
typed commands.
While this commit cannot prevent users from issuing these commands to a
server, whether locally or remotely, it restricts the `sign` and `sign_for`
commands, as well as the `submit` command when used to sign-and-submit,
so that they require administrative privileges on the server.
Server operators that want to allow unrestricted signing can do so by
adding the following stanza to their configuration file:
[signing_support]
true
Ripple discourages server operators from doing so and advises against using
these commands, which will be removed in a future release. If you rely on
these commands for signing, please migrate to a standalone signing solution
as soon as possible. One option is to use `ripple-lib`; documentation is
available at https://developers.ripple.com/rippleapi-reference.html#sign.
If the commands are administratively enabled, the server includes a warning
on startup and adds a new field in the resulting JSON, informing the caller
that the commands are deprecated and may become unavailable at any time.

Fixes: RIPD-1574
Alias beast address classes to the asio equivalents. Adjust users of
address classes accordingly. Fix resolver class so that it can support
ipv6 addresses. Make unit tests use ipv6 localhost network. Extend
endpoint peer message to support string endpoint
representations while also supporting the existing fields (both are
optional/repeated types). Expand test for Livecache and Endpoint.
Workaround some false positive ipaddr tests on windows (asio bug?)
Replaced usage of address::from_string(deprecated) with free function
make_address. Identified a remaining use of v4 address type and
replaced with the more appropriate IPEndpoint type (rpc_ip cmdline
option). Add CLI flag for using ipv4 with unit tests.
Release Notes
-------------
The optional rpc_port command line flag is deprecated. The rpc_ip
parameter now works as documented and accepts ip and port combined.
* UptimeClock is a chrono-compatible seconds-precision clock.
* Like UptimeTimer, its purpose is to make it possible for clients
to query the uptime thousands of times per second without a
significant performance hit.
* UptimeClock decouples itself from LoadManager by managing its
own once-per-second update loop.
* Clients now traffic in chrono time_points and durations instead
of int.
Some classes had virtual methods, but were missing a virtual
destructor.
Technically, every unit test that inherits from the Beast test suite
would get flagged by `-Wnon-virtual-dtor` but I did not think it would
be a great idea to go sprinkle a virtual destructor for every Ripple
test suite.
* Tally and duration counters for Job Queue tasks and RPC calls
optionally rendered by server_info and server_state, and
optionally printed to a distinct log file.
- Tally each Job Queue task as it is queued, starts, and
finishes running. Track total duration queued and running.
- Tally each RPC call as it starts and either finishes
successfully or throws an exception. Track total running
duration for each.
* Track currently executing Job Queue tasks and RPC methods
along with durations.
* Json-formatted performance log file written by a dedicated
thread, for above-described data.
* New optional parameter, "counters", for server_info and
server_state. If set, render Job Queue and RPC call counters
as well as currently executing tasks.
* New configuration section, "[perf]", to optionally control
performance logging to a file.
* Support optional sub-second periods when rendering human-readable
time points.
* The compiler can provide many non-explicit constructors for
aggregate types. This is sometimes desired, but it can
happen accidentally, resulting in run-time errors.
* This commit assures that no types are aggregates unless existing
code is using aggregate initialization.
Do not dispatch a transaction received from a peer for
processing, if it has already been dispatched within the
past ten seconds.
Increase the number of transaction handlers that can be in
flight in the job queue and decrease the relative cost for
peers to share transaction and ledger data.
Additionally, make better use of resources by adjusting the
number of threads we initialize, by reverting commit
68b8ffdb63.
* If any of the destructor, copy assignment or copy constructor
are user-declared, both copy members should be user-declared,
otherwise the compiler-generation of them is deprecated.
* Use fixed size UNL if the total listed validators are below
threshold.
* Set quorum to provide Byzantine fault tolerance until a
threshold of total validators is exceeded, at which time
quorum is 80%.
* Ensure that a quorum of 0 cannot be configured.
The two active users of DeadlineTimer, NetworkOPs and Application,
now use asio::steady_timers rather than DeadlineTimer.
DeadlineTimer is removed since it is no longer used.
To assure that all in-flight closures on timers are done before
Stoppables call stopped(), the JobCounter is made more generic.
It's now a ClosureCounter. The ClosureCounter is currently used
to count closures in flight for the JobQueue, NetworkOPs, and the
Application.
If the JobQueue is used during shutdown then those Jobs may access
Stoppables after they have already stopped. This violates the
preconditions of Stoppables and may lead to undefined behavior.
The solution taken here is to reference count all Jobs in the
JobQueue. At stop time all Jobs already in the JobQueue are
allowed to run to completion, but no further Jobs are allowed
into the JobQueue.
If a Job is rejected from the JobQueue (because we are stopping),
then JobQueue::addJob() returns false, so the caller can make any
necessary adjustments.
Enable all supported amendments in Env by default. Rename `features()`
to `with_features()` and add `all_features_except()` to support feature
subsets in Env. Refactor internal feature handling based on a bitset.
The job queue can automatically tune the number of threads that
it creates based on the number of processors or processor cores
that are available.
The existing tuning was very conservative, limiting the maximum
number of threads to only 6.
Adjust the new algorithm to allow a larger number of threads and
allow server administrators to override the value in the config
file.
A new JobCounter class is introduced. The JobCounter keeps
a reference count of Jobs in flight to the JobQueue. When
NetworkOPs needs to stop, in addition to other work, it calls
JobCounter::join(), which waits until all Jobs in flight
have been destroyed before returning. This ensures that all
NetworkOPs Jobs are completed before NetworkOPs declares
itself stopped().
Also, once a JobCounter is join()ed, it refuses to produce
more counted Jobs for the JobQueue. So, once all old Jobs
in flight are done, then NetworkOPs will add no additional
Jobs to the JobQueue.
Other classes besides NetworkOPs should also be able to use
JobCounter. NetworkOPs is a first test case.
Also unneeded #includes were removed from files touched for
other reasons.
The DatabaseImp has threads that asynchronously call JobQueue to
perform database reads. Formerly these threads had the same
lifespan as Database, which was until the end-of-life of
ApplicationImp. During shutdown these threads could call JobQueue
after JobQueue had already stopped. Or, even worse, occasionally
call JobQueue after JobQueue's destructor had run.
To avoid these shutdown conditions, Database is made a Stoppable,
with JobQueue as its parent. When Database stops, it shuts down
its asynchronous read threads. This prevents Database from
accessing JobQueue after JobQueue has stopped, but allows
Database to perform stores for the remainder of shutdown.
During development it was noted that the Database::close()
method was never called. So that method is removed from Database
and all derived classes.
Stoppable is also adjusted so it can be constructed using either
a char const* or a std::string.
For those files touched for other reasons, unneeded #includes
are removed.
RootStoppable was using two separate flags to identify that it
was stopping. LoadManager was being notified when one flag was
set, but checking the other flag (not yet set) to see if we were
stopping. There is no strong motivation for two flags. The
timing window is closed by removing one flag and moving around
a chunk of code.
All uses of beast::Thread were previously removed from the code
base, so beast::Thread is removed. One piece of beast::Thread
needed to be preserved: the ability to set the current thread's
name. So there's now a beast::CurrentThreadName that allows the
current thread's name to be set and returned.
Thread naming is also cleaned up a bit. ThreadName.h and .cpp
are removed since beast::CurrentThreadName does a better job.
ThreadEntry is also removed, but its terminateHandler() is
preserved in TerminateHandler.cpp. The revised terminateHandler()
uses beast::CurrentThreadName to recover the name of the running
thread.
Finally, the NO_LOG_UNHANDLED_EXCEPTIONS #define is removed since
it was discovered that the MacOS debugger preserves the stack
of the original throw even if the terminateHandler() rethrows.
