a3ae8e6 Fix concurrency-related bugs in ActivateBestChain (Jesse Cohen)
ecc3c4a Do not unlock cs_main in ABC unless we've actually made progress. (Matt Corallo)
Pull request description:
Originally this PR was just to add tests around concurrency in block validation - those tests seem to have uncovered another bug in ActivateBestChain - this now fixes that bug and adds tests.
ActivateBestChain (invoked after a new block is validated) proceeds in steps - acquiring and releasing cs_main while incrementally disconnecting and connecting blocks to sync to the most work chain known (FindMostWorkChain()). Every time cs_main is released the result of FindMostWorkChain() can change - but currently that value is cached across acquisitions of cs_main and only refreshed when an invalid chain is explored. It needs to be refreshed every time cs_main is reacquired. The test added in 6094ce7304 will occasionally fail without the commit fixing this issue 26bfdbaddb
Original description below
--
After a bug discovered where UpdatedBlockTip() notifications could be triggered out of order (#12978), these unit tests check certain invariants about these signals.
The scheduler test asserts that a SingleThreadedSchedulerClient processes callbacks fully and sequentially.
The block validation test generates a random chain and calls ProcessNewBlock from multiple threads at random and in parallel. ValidationInterface callbacks verify that the ordering of BlockConnected BlockDisconnected and UpdatedBlockTip events occur as expected.

Pull request description:
This runs the unit tests (`src/test/test_bitcoin`) in 4 separate simultaneous processes, significantly speeding up some Travis runs (over 2x for win32).
This uses an approach by @theuni that relies on `make` as the mechanism for distributing tests over processes (through `-j`). For every test .cpp file, we search for `BOOST_FIXTURE_TEST_SUITE` or `BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE`, and then invoke the test binary for just that suite (using `-t`). The (verbose) output is stored in a temporary file, and only shown in the case of failure.
Some makefile reshuffling is necessary to avoid trying to run tests from `src/test/test_bitcoin.cpp` for example, which contains framework/utility code but no real tests.
Finally, order the Travis jobs from slow to fast (apart from the arm/doc job which goes first, for fast failure). This should help reducing the total wall clock time before opening a PR and finishing Travis, in case where not all jobs are started simultaneously.
This is an alternative to #12831.

3e1ee31 [Tests] Adding unit tests for GetDifficulty in blockchain.cpp. (sean)
Pull request description:
blockchain.cpp has low unit test coverage. This commit is intended
to start improving its code coverage to reasonable levels. One or more
follow up commits will complete the task that this commit is starting
(though the usefulness of this commit is not dependent upon later
commits).
Note that these tests were not written based upon a specification of how
GetDifficulty *should* work, but rather how it actually *does* work. As
a result, if there are any bugs in the current GetDifficulty
implementation, these unit tests serve to lock them in rather than
expose them.
-- Why has blockchain.cpp been modified if this is a unit testing change?
Since the existing GetDifficulty function relies on a global variable,
chainActive, it was not suitable for unit testing purposes. Both the
existing GetDifficulty function and the unit tests now call through to
a new, more modular version of GetDifficulty that can work on any chain,
not just chainActive.
-- Why does blockchain_tests.cpp directly include blockchain.cpp instead
of blockchain.h?
While the new GetDifficulty function's signature is arguably better than
the old one's, it still isn't great, and doesn't seem to warrant inclusion
as part of the blockchain.h API, especially since only test code is
directly using it. If a better way of exposing the new GetDifficulty
function to unit tests exists, please mention it and the commit will be
updated accordingly.
-- Why is the test fixture named blockchain_difficulty_tests rather than
blockchain_tests?
The Bitcoin Core policy for naming unit test files is to match the the
file under test ("blockchain" becomes "blockchain_tests"). While this
commit complies with that, blockchain.cpp is a massive file, such that
having all of the unit tests in one file will tend towards disorder.
Since there will be a lot more tests added to this file, the intention
is to divide up different types of tests into different test fixtures
within the same file.

Pull request description:
Currently `./configure && make check` will look for python3, then python2. As long as we support python2 (and use it as fallback), `make check` should run fine with both python2 and python3.

Pull request description:
What started as a simple task to add test coverage ended up giving way to a light refactoring. This consolidates the mostly-identical `CMerkleBlock` constructors into one (using C++11 constructor delegation) and adds coverage for the by-txids construction case.

These are available in sandboxes without access to files or
devices. Also [they are safer and more straightforward](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy-supplying_system_calls)
to use than `/dev/urandom` as reading from a file has quite a few edge
cases:
- Linux: `getrandom(buf, buflen, 0)`. [getrandom(2)](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/getrandom.2.html)
was introduced in version 3.17 of the Linux kernel.
- OpenBSD: `getentropy(buf, buflen)`. The [getentropy(2)](http://man.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi/OpenBSD-current/man2/getentropy.2)
function appeared in OpenBSD 5.6.
- FreeBSD and NetBSD: `sysctl(KERN_ARND)`. Not sure when this was added
but it has existed for quite a while.
Alternatives:
- Linux has sysctl `CTL_KERN` / `KERN_RANDOM` / `RANDOM_UUID`
which gives 16 bytes of randomness. This may be available
on older kernels, however [sysctl is deprecated on Linux](https://lwn.net/Articles/605392/)
and even removed in some distros so we shouldn't use it.
Add tests for `GetOSRand()`:
- Test that no error happens (otherwise `RandFailure()` which aborts)
- Test that all 32 bytes are overwritten (initialize with zeros, try multiple times)
Discussion:
- When to use these? Currently they are always used when available.
Another option would be to use them only when `/dev/urandom` is not
available. But this would mean these code paths receive less testing,
and I'm not sure there is any reason to prefer `/dev/urandom`.
