These tests are failing when run against OpenSSL 3, and have been
removed upstream, https://github.com/bitcoin-core/secp256k1/pull/983, so
disabled them for now to avoid `make check` failures.
Note that this will also remove warning output from our build, due to
the use of deprecated OpenSSL API functions. See #23048.
0f95247246 Integrate univalue into our buildsystem (Cory Fields)
9b49ed656f Squashed 'src/univalue/' changes from 98fadc0909..a44caf65fe (fanquake)
Pull request description:
This PR more tightly integrates building Univalue into our build system. This follows the same approach we use for [LevelDB](https://github.com/bitcoin-core/leveldb/), ([`Makefile.leveldb.include`](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/Makefile.leveldb.include)), and [CRC32C](https://github.com/bitcoin-core/crc32c) ([`Makefile.crc32c.include`](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/Makefile.crc32c.include)), and will be the same approach we use for [minisketch](https://github.com/sipa/minisketch); see #23114.
This approach yields a number of benefits, including:
* Faster configuration due to one less subconfigure being run during `./configure` i.e 22s with this PR vs 26s
* Faster autoconf i.e 13s with this PR vs 17s
* Improved caching
* No more issues with compiler flags i.e https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/12467
* More direct control means we can build exactly the objects we want
There might be one argument against making this change, which is that builders should have the option to use "proper shared/system libraries". However, I think that falls down for a few reasons. The first being that we already don't support building with a number of system libraries (secp256k1, leveldb, crc32c); some for good reason. Univalue is really the odd one out at the moment.
Note that the only fork of Core I'm aware of, that actively patches in support for using system libs, also explicitly marks them as ["DANGEROUS"](a886811721/configure.ac (L1430)) and ["NOT SUPPORTED"](a886811721/configure.ac (L1312)). So it would seem they exist more to satisfy a distro requirement, as opposed to something that anyone should, or would actually use in practice.
PRs like #22412 highlight the "issue" with us operating with our own Univalue fork, where we actively fix bugs, and make improvements, when upstream (https://github.com/jgarzik/univalue) may not be taking those improvements, and by all accounts, is not currently actively maintained. Bitcoin Core should not be hamstrung into not being able to fix bugs in a library, and/or have to litter our source with "workarounds", i.e #22412, for bugs we've already fixed, based on the fact that an upstream project is not actively being maintained. Allowing builders to use system libs is really only exacerbating this problem, with little benefit to our project. Bitcoin Core is not quite like your average piece of distro packaged software.
There is the potential for us to give the same treatment to libsecp256k1, however it seems doing that is currently less straightforward.

This remove the addition of flags that are already part of other options, such as `-Wall` or `-Wextra`; see each commit message for details. All of the flags being removed here already exist as part of `-Wall` as of GCC 8, or, for Clang, all exist in `-Wmost` (included in `-Wall)`, or as part of `-Wextra` as of Clang 7. Both of which are our minimum required compilers.
Also cherry-picks one change from #21458.

This addresses issues like the one in #12467, where some of our compiler flags
end up being dropped during the subconfigure of Univalue. Specifically, we're
still using the compiler-default c++ version rather than forcing c++17.
We can drop the need subconfigure completely in favor of a tighter build
integration, where the sources are listed separately from the build recipes,
so that they may be included directly by upstream projects. This is
similar to the way leveldb build integration works in Core.
Core benefits of this approach include:
- Better caching (for ex. ccache and autoconf)
- No need for a slow subconfigure
- Faster autoconf
- No more missing compile flags
- Compile only the objects needed
There are no benefits to Univalue itself that I can think of. These changes
should be a no-op there, and to downstreams as well until they take advantage
of the new sources.mk.
This also removes the option to use an external univalue to avoid similar ABI
issues with mystery binaries.

4747da3a5b Add syscall sandboxing (seccomp-bpf) (practicalswift)
Pull request description:
Add experimental syscall sandboxing using seccomp-bpf (Linux secure computing mode).
Enable filtering of system calls using seccomp-bpf: allow only explicitly allowlisted (expected) syscalls to be called.
The syscall sandboxing implemented in this PR is an experimental feature currently available only under Linux x86-64.
To enable the experimental syscall sandbox the `-sandbox=<mode>` option must be passed to `bitcoind`:
```
-sandbox=<mode>
Use the experimental syscall sandbox in the specified mode
(-sandbox=log-and-abort or -sandbox=abort). Allow only expected
syscalls to be used by bitcoind. Note that this is an
experimental new feature that may cause bitcoind to exit or crash
unexpectedly: use with caution. In the "log-and-abort" mode the
invocation of an unexpected syscall results in a debug handler
being invoked which will log the incident and terminate the
program (without executing the unexpected syscall). In the
"abort" mode the invocation of an unexpected syscall results in
the entire process being killed immediately by the kernel without
executing the unexpected syscall.
```
The allowed syscalls are defined on a per thread basis.
I've used this feature since summer 2020 and I find it to be a helpful testing/debugging addition which makes it much easier to reason about the actual capabilities required of each type of thread in Bitcoin Core.

[About seccomp and seccomp-bpf](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seccomp):
> In computer security, seccomp (short for secure computing mode) is a facility in the Linux kernel. seccomp allows a process to make a one-way transition into a "secure" state where it cannot make any system calls except exit(), sigreturn(), and read() and write() to already-open file descriptors. Should it attempt any other system calls, the kernel will terminate the process with SIGKILL or SIGSYS. In this sense, it does not virtualize the system's resources but isolates the process from them entirely.
>
> […]
>
> seccomp-bpf is an extension to seccomp that allows filtering of system calls using a configurable policy implemented using Berkeley Packet Filter rules. It is used by OpenSSH and vsftpd as well as the Google Chrome/Chromium web browsers on Chrome OS and Linux. (In this regard seccomp-bpf achieves similar functionality, but with more flexibility and higher performance, to the older systrace—which seems to be no longer supported for Linux.)

It was [pointed out in #23030](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/23030#issuecomment-922893367) that we might be able to get rid of our weak linking of [`getauxval()`](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/getauxval.3.html) (`HAVE_WEAK_GETAUXVAL`) entirely, with only Android being a potential holdout:
> I wonder if it's time to get rid of HAVE_WEAK_GETAUXVAL. I think it's confusing. Either we build against a C library that has this functionality, or not. We don't do this weak linking thing for any other symbols and recently got rid of the other glibc backwards compatibility stuff.
> Unless there is still a current platform that really needs it (Android?), I'd prefer to remove it from the build system, it has caused enough issues.
After looking at Android further, it would seem that given we are moving to using `std::filesystem`, which [requires NDK version 22 and later](https://github.com/android/ndk/wiki/Changelog-r22), and `getauxval` has been available in the since [API version 18](https://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/cpu-features#features_using_libcs_getauxval3), that shouldn't really be an issue. Support for API levels < 19 will be dropped with the NDK 24 release, and according to [one website](https://apilevels.com/), supporting API level 18+ will cover ~99% of devices. Note that in the CI we currently build with NDK version 22 and API level 28.
The other change in this PR is removing the include of headers for ARM intrinsics, from the check for strong `getauxval()` support in configure, as they shouldn't be needed. Including these headers also meant that the check would basically only succeed when building for ARM. This would be an issue if we remove weak linking, as we wouldn't detect `getauxval()` as supported on other platforms. Note that we also use `getauxval()` in our RNG when it's available.
I've checked that with these changes we detect support for strong `getauxval()` on Alpine (muslibc). On Linux, previously we'd be detecting support for weak getauxval(), now we detect strong support. Note that we already require glibc 2.17, and `getauxval()` was introduced in `2.16`.
This is an alternative / supersedes #23030.
`crc32c`'s hardware accelerated code doesn't handle ARM 32-bit at all.
Make the check in `configure.ac` check for this architecture explicitly.
For the release binaries, the current `configure.ac` check happens
to work: it enables it on aarch64 but disables it for armhf. However
some combination of compiler version and settings might ostensibly cause
this check to succeed on armhf (as reported on IRC). So make the 64-bit
platform requirement explicit.

At this point, or minimum required glibc is implicitly 2.18, due to
thread_local support being enabled by default. However, users can
disable thread_local support to maintain 2.17 ccompat for now, which is

The `BUILDING CODE CONTAINING USDT PROBES` section from the dtrace manpage is available [here](https://gist.github.com/fanquake/e56c9866d53b326646d04ab43a8df9e2), and outlines the more involved process of using USDT probes on macOS.

Pull request description:
This follows the introduction of GUI support in https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui/pull/4
I don't think we should expect GUI users to self compile. This also enables external signer support by default for RPC users.
In addition this PR reduces the number of `#ifdef ENABLE_EXTERNAL_SIGNER`, which also fixes#21919. When compiled with `--disable-external-signer` such wallets can't be created in RPC or GUI, but they can be loaded. Attempting any action that calls HWI will trigger an error.
Side-note: this PR may or may not (currently) break CI for the GUI repository, as explained here: https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui/pull/4#issuecomment-769859001

Just checking for the `sys/sdt.h` header isn't enough, as systems like
macOS have the header, but it doesn't actually have the dtrace probes,
which leads to compile failures.

Pull request description:
This updates our src/secp256k1 subtree to the latest upstream master. The changes include:
* The introduction of safegcd-based modular inverses, reducing ECDSA signing time by 25%-30% and ECDSA verification time by 15%-17%.
* [Original paper](https://gcd.cr.yp.to/papers.html) by Daniel J. Bernstein and Bo-Yin Yang
* [Implementation](https://github.com/bitcoin-core/secp256k1/pull/767) by Peter Dettman; [final](https://github.com/bitcoin-core/secp256k1/pull/831) version
* [Explanation](https://github.com/bitcoin-core/secp256k1/blob/master/doc/safegcd_implementation.md) of the algorithm using Python snippets
* [Analysis](https://github.com/sipa/safegcd-bounds) of the maximum number of iterations the algorithm needs
* [Formal proof in Coq](https://medium.com/blockstream/a-formal-proof-of-safegcd-bounds-695e1735a348) by Russell O'Connor, for a high-level equivalent algorithm
* Removal of libgmp as an (optional) dependency (which wasn't used in the Bitcoin Core build)
* CI changes (Travis -> Cirrus)
* Build system improvements

e9f948c727 build: Convert warnings into errors when testing for -fstack-clash-protection (Hennadii Stepanov)
Pull request description:
Apple clang version 12.0.5 (clang-1205.0.22.9) that is a part of Xcode 12.5, and is based on LLVM clang 11.1.0, fires spammy warnings:
```
clang: warning: argument unused during compilation: '-fstack-clash-protection' [-Wunused-command-line-argument]
```
From the https://github.com/apple/llvm-project:
```

I suppose, that Apple clang-1205.0.22.9 ends with on of the "Revert..." commits.
This PR prevents using of the `-fstack-clash-protection` flag if it causes warnings.
