prototypes used in src/test/script_tests.cpp:
- CMutableTransaction BuildCreditingTransaction(const CScript& scriptPubKey, int nValue = 0);
- CMutableTransaction BuildSpendingTransaction(const CScript& scriptSig, const CScriptWitness& scriptWitness, const CTransaction& txCredit);
prototypes used in bench/verify_script.cpp:
- CMutableTransaction BuildCreditingTransaction(const CScript& scriptPubKey);
- CMutableTransaction BuildSpendingTransaction(const CScript& scriptSig, const CMutableTransaction& txCredit);
The more generic versions from the script tests are moved into a new file pair
transaction_utils.cpp/h and the calls are adapted accordingly in the
verify_script benchmark (passing the nValue of 1 explicitely for
BuildCreditingTransaction(), passing empty scriptWitness explicitely and
converting txCredit parameter to CTransaction in BuildSpendingTransaction()).
e306be7429 Use 72 byte dummy signatures when watching only inputs may be used (Andrew Chow)
48b1473c89 Use 71 byte signature for DUMMY_SIGNATURE_CREATOR (Andrew Chow)
18dfea0dd0 Always create 70 byte signatures with low R values (Andrew Chow)
Pull request description:
When creating signatures for transactions, always make one which has a 32 byte or smaller R and 32 byte or smaller S value. This results in signatures that are always less than 71 bytes (32 byte R + 32 byte S + 6 bytes DER + 1 byte sighash) with low R values. In most cases, the signature will be 71 bytes.
Because R is not mutable in the same way that S is, a low R value can only be found by trying different nonces. RFC 6979 for deterministic nonce generation has the option to specify additional entropy, so we simply use that and add a uin32_t counter which we increment in order to try different nonces. Nonces are sill deterministically generated as the nonce used will the be the first one where the counter results in a nonce that results in a low R value. Because different nonces need to be tried, time to produce a signature does increase. On average, it takes twice as long to make a signature as two signatures need to be created, on average, to find one with a low R.
Having a fixed size signature makes size calculations easier and also saves half a byte of transaction size, on average.
DUMMY_SIGNATURE_CREATOR has been modified to produce 71 byte dummy signatures instead of 72 byte signatures.
Tree-SHA512: 3cd791505126ce92da7c631856a97ba0b59e87d9c132feff6e0eef1dc47768e81fbb38bfbe970371bedf9714b7f61a13a5fe9f30f962c81734092a4d19a4ef33
When extra entropy is not specified by the caller, CKey::Sign will
now always create a signature that has a low R value and is at most
70 bytes. The resulting signature on the stack will be 71 bytes when
the sighash byte is included.
Using low R signatures means that the resulting DER encoded signature
will never need to have additional padding to account for high R
values.
In addition to having the scriptSig and scriptWitness, have SignatureData
also be able to store just the signatures (pubkeys mapped to sigs) and
scripts (script ids mapped to scripts).
Also have DataFromTransaction be able to extract signatures and scripts
from the scriptSig and scriptWitness of an input to put them in SignatureData.
Adds a new SignatureChecker which takes a SignatureData and puts pubkeys
and signatures into it when it successfully verifies a signature.
Adds a new field in SignatureData which stores whether the SignatureData
was complete. This allows us to also update the scriptSig and
scriptWitness to the final one when updating a SignatureData with another
one.
* inline performance critical code
* Average runtime is specified and used to calculate iterations.
* Console: show median of multiple runs
* plot: show box plot
* filter benchmarks
* specify scaling factor
* ignore src/test and src/bench in command line check script
* number of iterations instead of time
* Replaced runtime in BENCHMARK makro number of iterations.
* Added -? to bench_bitcoin
* Benchmark plotly.js URL, width, height can be customized
* Fixed incorrect precision warning
Avoid static analyzer warnings regarding "Function call argument
is a pointer to uninitialized value" in cases where we are
intentionally using such arguments.
This is achieved by using ...
`f(b.begin(), b.end())` (`std::array<char, N>`)
... instead of ...
`f(b, b + N)` (`char b[N]`)
Rationale:
* Reduce false positives by guiding static analyzers regarding our
intentions.

The new benchmarks exercise script validation, CCoinsDBView caching,
mempool eviction, and wallet coin selection code.
All of the benchmarks added here are extremely simple and don't
necessarily mirror common real world conditions or interesting
performance edge cases. Details about how specific benchmarks can be
improved are noted in comments.
