* Remove deprecated PanicXXX functions from codebase
As per discussion over
[here](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/pull/3456#discussion_r278423492),
we need to remove these `PanicXXX` functions and eliminate our
dependence on them. In this PR, each and every `PanicXXX` function call
is replaced with a simple `panic` call.
* add a changelog entry
Fixes#3457
The topic of the issue is that : write a BlockRequest int requestsCh channel will create an timer at the same time that stop the peer 15s later if no block have been received . But pop a BlockRequest from requestsCh and send it out may delay more than 15s later. So that the peer will be stopped for error("send nothing to us").
Extracting requestsCh into its own goroutine can make sure that every BlockRequest been handled timely.
Instead of the requestsCh handling, we should probably pull the didProcessCh handling in a separate go routine since this is the one "starving" the other channel handlers. I believe the way it is right now, we still have issues with high delays in errorsCh handling that might cause sending requests to invalid/ disconnected peers.
* p2p: refactor Switch#Broadcast func
- call wg.Add only once
- do not call peers.List twice!
* bad for perfomance
* peers list can change in between calls!
Refs #3306
* p2p: use time.Ticker instead of RepeatTimer
no need in RepeatTimer since we don't Reset them
Refs #3306
* libs/common: remove RepeatTimer (also TimerMaker and Ticker interface)
"ancient code that’s caused no end of trouble" Ethan
I believe there's much simplier way to write a ticker than can be reset

* libs/common: TrapSignal accepts logger as a first parameter
and does not block anymore
* previously it was dumping "captured ..." msg to os.Stdout
* TrapSignal should not be responsible for blocking thread of execution

* Enforce validators can only use the correct pubkey type
* adapt to variable renames
* Address comments from #2636
* separate updating and validation logic
* update spec
* Add test case for TestStringSliceEqual, clarify slice copying code
* Address @ebuchman's comments
* Split up testing validator update execution, and its validation
* Fix random distribution in bitArray.PickRandom
Previously it was very biased. 63 "_" followed by a single "x" had
much greater odds of being chosen. Additionally, the last element was
skewed. This fixes that by first preproccessing the set of all true
indices, and then randomly selecting a single element from there.
This commit also makes the code here significantly simpler, and
improves test cases.
* unlock mtx right after we select true indices
These functions were not used anywhere within tendermint, or the
cosmos-sdk. (The functionality is already duplicated in the cosmos-sdk
types package)
* common: Delete unused functions within byteslice
* remove more unused code from strings.go and int.go
* Remove more unused code from int.go
* Fix testcase
We didn't use this code anywhere in the codebase. As such, we probably
should reduce the surface area we support. In the event that we do
in fact require 256 bit words inside of tendermint, we should adapt
the stdlibs' internal word representations, which also handles SIMD.
Inside of the SDK, a separate solution for big ints / larger words
is employed, which uses big ints. This in turn does utilize the stdlibs
SIMD support.
* remove gogoproto from tools
because it's not a binary
* update protobuf version to 3.6.1 in `make get_protoc`
* update libs/common/types.pb.go and rpc/grpc/types.pb.go
* fix app tests
This uses the stdlib's method of creating a tempfile in our write
file atomimc method, with a few modifications. We use a 64 bit number
rather than 32 bit, and therefore a corresponding LCG. This is to
reduce collision probability. (Note we currently used 32 bytes previously,
so this is likely a concern)
We handle reseeding the LCG in such a way that multiple threads are
even less likely to reuse the same seed.
This now makes bit array functions which take in a second bit array, thread
safe. Previously there was a warning on bitarray.Update to be lock the
second parameter externally if thread safety wasrequired.
This was not done within the codebase, so it was fine to change here.
Closes#2080
We were computing these functions incorrectly.
I'm not sure what distribution these numbers are, but it isn't the
normal exponential distribution. (We're making the probability of
getting a number of a particular bitlength equal, but the number in
that bitlength thats gets chosen is uniformly chosen)
We weren't using these functions anywhere in our codebase, and they
had a nomenclature error. (There aren't exponentially distributed
integers, instead they would be geometrically distributed)
The godocs fell out of sync with the code here. Additionally we had
warning that these randomness functions weren't for cryptographic
use on every function. However these warnings are confusing, since
there was no implication that they would be secure there, and a
single warning on the actual Rand type would suffice. (This is what
is done in golang's math/rand godoc)
Additionally we indicated that rand.Bytes() was reading OS randomness
but in fact that had been changed.
This commit switches all usage of math/rand to cmn's rand. The only
exceptions are within the random file itself, the tools package, and the
crypto package. In tools you don't want it to lock between the go-routines.
The crypto package doesn't use it so the crypto package have no other
dependencies within tendermint/tendermint for easier portability.
Crypto/rand usage is unadjusted.
Closes#1343
