70452a070b build: set minimum required Boost to 1.58 (fanquake)
Pull request description:
Any systems which only have an older installable Boost can use depends.
1.58.0 retains compatibility with the packages [installable on Ubuntu 16.04](https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/libboost-dev).
The projects usage of Boost wont be going away any time soon, if ever (i.e #15382), and our usage of the test framework.
Fixes: #19506

This flag was added to binutils/ld in the 2.30 release,
see commit c11c786f0b45617bb8807ab6a57220d5ff50e414:
> The new "-z separate-code" option will generate separate code LOAD
segment which must be in wholly disjoint pages from any other data.
It was made the default for Linux/x86 targets in the 2.31 release, see commit
f6aec96dce1ddbd8961a3aa8a2925db2021719bb:
> This patch adds --enable-separate-code to ld configure to turn on
-z separate-code by default and enables it by default for Linux/x86.
This avoids mixing code pages with data to improve cache performance
as well as security.
> To reduce x86-64 executable and shared object sizes, the maximum page
size is reduced from 2MB to 4KB when -z separate-code is turned on by
default. Note: -z max-page-size= can be used to set the maximum page
size.
> We compared SPEC CPU 2017 performance before and after this change on
Skylake server. There are no any significant performance changes.
Everything is mostly below +/-1%.
Support was also added to LLVMs lld: https://reviews.llvm.org/D64903, however
there is remains off by default.
There were concerns about an increase in binary size, however in our case, the
increase (1 page worth of bytes) would seem negligible, given we are shipping a
multi-megabyte binary, which then downloads 100's of GBs of data.
Also note that most recent versions of distros are shipping a new enough version
of binutils that this is available and/or on by default (assuming the distro has
not turned it off, I haven't checked everywhere):

While testing #19530 I noticed that we couldn't call dsymutil after LTO:
```bash
../libtool: line 10643: x86_64-apple-darwin16-dsymutil: command not found
```
This updates configure to call `AC_PATH_TOOL` so that we end up with the
full path to dsymutil, similar to `otool` and `install_name_tool`, ie:
`/bitcoin/depends/x86_64-apple-darwin16/share/../native/bin/x86_64-apple-darwin16-otool`.
Debian GCC ignores -Wformat-security, without -Wformat, which
means when we test for it, it currently fails:
```bash
checking whether C++ compiler accepts -Wformat-security... no
...
configure:15907: checking whether C++ compiler accepts -Wformat-security
configure:15926: g++ -std=c++11 -c -g -O2 -Werror -Wformat-security conftest.cpp >&5
cc1plus: error: '-Wformat-security' ignored without '-Wformat' [-Werror=format-security]
cc1plus: all warnings being treated as errors
```
Fix this by just combining the -Wformat and -Wformat-security checks
together.

9952242c03 build: improve builtin_clz* detection (fanquake)
Pull request description:
Fixes#19402.
The way we currently test for `__builtin_clz*` support with `AC_CHECK_DECLS` does not work with Clang:
```bash

conftest.cpp💯10: error: builtin functions must be directly called
(void) __builtin_clz;

1 error generated.
```
This also removes the `__builtin_clz()` check, as we don't actually use it anywhere, and it's trvial to re-add detection if we do start using it at some point. If this is controversial then I'll add a test for it as well.

On OS X, when searching Homebrew keg-only packages for BDB 4.8, if we find it,
use BDB_CPPFLAGS and BDB_LIBS instead of CFLAGS and LIBS for the result. This
is (1) more correct, and (2) necessary in order to give this location
priority over other directories in the include search path, which may include
system include directories with other versions of BDB.

Pull request description:
This PR makes `bitcoin_qt.m4` to use `pkg-config` for all hosts and removes non-pkg-config paths from it. This is a step towards the idea which was clear [stated](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/8314#issue-76644643) by Cory Fields:
> I believe the consensus is to treat Windows like the others and require pkg-config across the board. We can drop all of the non-pkg-config paths, and simply AC_REQUIRE(PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG)
There are two unsolved problems with this PR. If depends is built with `DEBUG=1` the `configure` script fails to pickup Qt:
- for macOS host (similar to, but not the same as #16391)
- for Windows host (regression)
The fix is ~on its way~ submitted in #18298 (as a followup).
Also this PR picks some small improvements from #17820.

Fuzzing code uses C++17 specific code (e.g. std::optional), so it is not
possible to compile with --enable-fuzz and without --enable-c++17.
Thus, turn on --enable-c++17 whenever --enable-fuzz is used.

d15db4b1fc refactor: Fix unreachable code in init arg checks (Jonathan Schoeller)
Pull request description:
Closes: #19017
In #19015 it's been suggested that we add some new compiler warnings to our build. Some of these, such as `-Wunreachable-code-loop-increment`, generate warnings. We'll likely want to fix these up if we're going to turn these warnings on.
```shell
init.cpp:969:5: warning: loop will run at most once (loop increment never executed) [-Wunreachable-code-loop-increment]
for (const auto& arg : gArgs.GetUnsuitableSectionOnlyArgs()) {
^~~
1 warning generated.
```
aa8d76806c/src/init.cpp (L968-L972)
To fix this, collect all errors, and output them in a single error message after the loop completes. This resolves the unreachable code warning, and avoids popup hell that could result from outputting a seperate message for each error or warning one by one.

While emoji and other symbols in C++ identifers (as accepted by newer
compilers) are fun, they might create confusion during code review, for
example because some symbols look very similar. Forbid such extended
identifiers for now.
This is done by providing `-fno-extended-identifiers`. Thanks to sipa
for suggesting this compiler flag.

Pull request description:
This PR is part of the [process separation project](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/projects/10).
---
This PR consists of build changes only. It adds an `--enable-multiprocess` autoconf option (off by default and marked experimental), that builds new `bitcoin-node` and `bitcoin-gui` binaries. These currently function the same as existing `bitcoind` and `bitcoin-qt` binaries, but are extended in #10102 with IPC features to execute node, wallet, and gui functions in separate processes.
In addition to adding the `--enable-multiprocess` config flag, it also adds a depends package and autoconf rules to build with the [libmultiprocess](https://github.com/chaincodelabs/libmultiprocess) library, and it adds new travis configuration to exercise the build code and run functional tests with the new binaries.
The changes in this PR were originally part of #10102 but were moved into #16367 to be able to develop and review the multiprocess build changes independently of the code changes. #16367 was briefly merged and then reverted in #18588. Only change since #16367 has been dropping the `native_boost.mk` depends package which was pointed out to be no longer necessary in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/16367#issuecomment-596484337 and https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/18588#pullrequestreview-391765649

Pull request description:

The return type of [`fdelt_chk`](https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=debug/fdelt_chk.c;h=f62ce7349707cb68f55831c1c591fd7387a90258;hb=HEAD) changed from `unsigned long int` to `long int` in glibc 2.16. See [this commit](https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commit;h=ceb9e56b3d1f8c1922e0526c2e841373843460e2). Now that we require [glibc >=2.17](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/17538) we can remove our back-compat code.
ab7bce584a
While looking at the above changes, I noticed that our glibc fdelt sanity check doesn't seem to be checking anything. `fdelt_warn()` also isn't something we'd want to actually "trigger" at runtime, as doing so would cause `bitcoind` to abort.
The comments:
> // trigger: Call FD_SET to trigger __fdelt_chk. FORTIFY_SOURCE must be defined
> // as >0 and optimizations must be set to at least -O2.
suggest calling FD_SET to check the invocation of `fdelt_chk` (this is [aliased with fdelt_warn in glibc](https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=debug/fdelt_chk.c;h=f62ce7349707cb68f55831c1c591fd7387a90258;hb=HEAD)). However just calling `FD_SET()` will not necessarily cause the compiler to insert a call to `fd_warn()`.
Whether or not GCC (recent Clang should work, but may use different heuristics) inserts a call to `fdelt_warn()` depends on if the compiler can determine if the value passed in is a compile time constant (using [`__builtin_constant_p`](https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Other-Builtins.html)) and whether the value is < 0 or >= `FD_SETSIZE`. The glibc implementation is [here](https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=misc/bits/select2.h;h=7e17430ed94dd1679af10afa3d74795f9c97c0e8;hb=HEAD). This means our check should never cause a call to be inserted.
Compiling master without `--glibc-back-compat` (if you do pass `--glibc-back-compat` the outcome is still the same; however the abort will only happen with >=`FD_SETSIZE` as that is what our [fdelt_warn()](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/compat/glibc_compat.cpp#L24) checks for), there are no calls to `fdelt_warn()` inserted by the compiler:

```
If you modify the sanity test to pass `-1` or `FD_SETSIZE` to `FD_SET`, you'll see calls to `fdelt_warn` inserted, and the runtime behaviour is an abort as expected.

I think the test should should be removed and replaced (if possible) with additional checks in security-check.py. I was thinking about adding a version of [this script](https://github.com/fanquake/core-review/blob/master/fortify.py) as part of the output, but that needs more thought. I'll address this in a follow up.

Pull request description:
Tomorrow, on Apr 23 the Ubuntu 20.04 release is expected. It packaged with Qt 5.12 LTS that has a nasty peculiarity to cause modern compilers, including Clang 10.0 and GCC 9.3, to emit spammy `-Wdeprecated-copy` warnings (#15822, #18419).
This PR suppress such warnings _temporarily_, until the [upstream is fixed](https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtbase/+/272258).
Here are some affected systems (with system packages):
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS + Qt 5.12.8 LTS + { Clang 10.0 | GCC 9.3 }
- Fedora 32 + Qt 5.13.2 + Clang 10.0

ACK 0c63f80854 seems fine to disable this warning for the 0.21.0 release temporarily and then enable it for 0.22.0, when boost is removed.
fanquake:
ACK 0c63f80854 - I think it's ok to suppress these for now, given that `-Wdeprecated-copy` is enabled (via `-Wextra`) in GCC 9 and Clang 10. The Qt output is pretty noisy, and there's a few warnings from Boost as well.

autoconf and automake changes to support multiprocess gui/node/wallet execution.
This adds a new --enable-multiprocess flag, and build configuration code to
detect libraries needed for multiprocess support. The --enable-multiprocess
flag builds new bitcoin-node and bitcoin-gui executables, which are updated in
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10102 to communicate across processes.
But for now they are functionally equivalent to existing bitcoind and
bitcoin-qt executables.
89fea68ffd build: don't pass -w when building for Windows (fanquake)
Pull request description:
This has been around since the introduction of autotools. However at
this point I'm not sure we'd ever want to suppress all warnings when
performing a build, and given that CXX FLAGS will have been overriden
when cross-compiling for Windows (using depends), this would rarely,
if-ever be used anyways.

Inhibit all warning messages.
As is, this sanity check doesn't seem to be testing fdelt_chk, because
passing a value of "0" to FD_SET wont cause the compiler to insert any
calls to fdelt_chk().
The documentation is a little misleading. If we actually triggered fdelt_chk
at runtime, bitcoind would abort. I think this check would be better replaced
(if possible) by additional checks in security-check.py.
The compiler may insert a call to fdelt_warn() (aliased with fdelt_chk
in glibc) at compile time if it can determine that an invalid value is
being passed to FD_SET.
These checks are essentially; value < 0 or value >= FD_SETSIZE along
with a check for wether the value is a compile time constant.
If the compiler can determine an invalid value is being passed, a call
to fdelt_warn will be inserted. Passing 0 should never cause a call to
be inserted.
You can check this after compiling:
```bash
objdump -dC bitcoind | grep sanity_fdelt
...
0000000000399d20 <sanity_test_fdelt()>:
399d20: 48 81 ec 98 00 00 00 sub $0x98,%rsp

To test, you could modify this test to pass -1 to FD_SET, and check
that a call to fdelt_warn() is inserted, and that running bitcoind
fails. i.e:
```bash

399d20: 48 81 ec 98 00 00 00 sub $0x98,%rsp

a029805f57 build: remove -Qunused-arguments workaround for clang + ccache (fanquake)
Pull request description:
This was added in 386efb7695 to address spammy Clang warnings when building with ccache.
The issue was addressed in [ccache 3.2](https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8118), and from a look at most major distros, it's only Debian Jessie that has a version of ccache older than that ([3.1](https://packages.debian.org/jessie/ccache)).
Therefore I think it's acceptable to drop this workaround, and re-enable warnings for unused driver arguments (when compiling using Clang and ccache).
