This change adds a limit for RPC method names to prevent potential abuse
where large method names could lead to large response sizes.

The limit is enforced in:
- handleCall for regular RPC method calls
- handleSubscribe for subscription method calls

Added tests in websocket_test.go to verify the length limit
functionality for both regular method calls and subscriptions.

This fixes an issue where blocks containing CL requests triggered an
error in the engine API. The encoding of requests used base64 instead of
hex.
Add metics detailing reasons we reject inbound connections for, and
reasons these connections fail during the handshake.
The function `BacktraceAt` has been removed in ethereum#28187 . But the API
end-point `debug_backtraceAt` is not removed from the file
`internal/web3ext/web3ext.go`.
This pull request introduces a SyncKeyValue function to the
ethdb.KeyValueStore
interface, providing the ability to forcibly flush all previous writes
to disk.

This functionality is critical for go-ethereum, which internally uses
two independent
database engines: a key-value store (such as Pebble, LevelDB, or
memoryDB for
testing) and a flat-file–based freezer. To ensure write-order
consistency between
these engines, the key-value store must be explicitly synced before
writing to the
freezer and vice versa.

This PR fixes an issue that could lead to data corruption.

Writing the state history may fail due to insufficient disk space or
other potential errors. With this change, the entire state insertion 
will be aborted instead of silently ignoring the error.

Without this fix, state transitions would continue while the associated
state history is lost. After a restart, the resulting gap would be detected, 
making recovery impossible.
This pull request enhances the block prefetcher by executing transactions 
in parallel to warm the cache alongside the main block processor.

Unlike the original prefetcher, which only executes the next block and
is limited to chain syncing, the new implementation can be applied to any 
block. This makes it useful not only during chain sync but also for regular 
block insertion after the initial sync.

This PR creates a global hasher pool that can be used by all packages.
It also removes a bunch of the package local pools.

It also updates a few locations to use available hashers or the global
hashing pool to reduce allocations all over the codebase.
This change should reduce global allocation count by ~1%

This PR introduces an allocation-free version of the
Transaction.EffectiveGasTip method to improve performance by reducing
memory allocations.

## Changes
- Added a new `EffectiveGasTipInto` method that accepts a destination
parameter to avoid memory allocations
- Refactored the existing `EffectiveGasTip` method to use the new
allocation-free implementation
- Updated related methods (`EffectiveGasTipValue`, `EffectiveGasTipCmp`,
`EffectiveGasTipIntCmp`) to use the allocation-free approach
- Added tests and benchmarks to verify correctness and measure
performance improvements

## Motivation
In high-transaction-volume environments, the `EffectiveGasTip` method is
called frequently. Reducing memory allocations in this method decreases
garbage collection pressure and improves overall system performance.

## Benchmark Results

As-Is
BenchmarkEffectiveGasTip/Original-10 42089140 27.45 ns/op 8 B/op 1
allocs/op

To-Be
BenchmarkEffectiveGasTip/IntoMethod-10 72353263 16.73 ns/op 0 B/op 0
allocs/op


## Summary of Improvements
- **Performance**: ~39% faster execution (27.45 ns/op → 16.73 ns/op)
- **Memory**: Eliminated all allocations (8 B/op → 0 B/op)
- **Allocation count**: Reduced from 1 to 0 allocations per operation

This optimization follows the same pattern successfully applied to other
methods in the codebase, maintaining API compatibility while improving
performance.

## Safety & Compatibility
This optimization has no side effects or adverse impacts because:
- It maintains functional equivalence as confirmed by comprehensive
tests
- It preserves API compatibility with existing callers
- It follows clear memory ownership patterns with the destination
parameter
- It maintains thread safety by only modifying the caller-provided
destination parameter

This optimization follows the same pattern successfully applied to other
methods in the codebase, providing better performance without
compromising stability or correctness.

This adds a metric called `chain/mgasps`, which records how many million
gas per second are being used during block insertion.

The value is calculated as `usedGas * 1000 / elapsed`, and it's updated
in the `insertStats.report` method. Also cleaned up the log output to
reuse the same value instead of recalculating it.

Useful for monitoring block processing throughput.

This adds support for naming the source iterators of FairMix, like so:

  mix.AddSource(enode.WithSourceName("mySource", iter))

The source that produced the latest node is returned by the new NodeSource method.
…gen-7 testnet (ethereum#31014)

Adding values to the witness introduces a new class of issues for
computing gas: if there is not enough gas to cover adding an item to the
witness, then the item should not be added to the witness.

The problem happens when several items are added together, and that
process runs out of gas. The witness gas computation needs a way to
signal that not enough gas was provided. These values can not be
hardcoded, however, as they are context dependent, i.e. two calls to the
same function with the same parameters can give two different results.

The approach is to return both the gas that was actually consumed, and
the gas that was necessary. If the values don't match, then a witness
update OOG'd. The caller should then charge the `consumed` value
(remaining gas will be 0) and error out.

Why not return a boolean instead of the wanted value? Because when
several items are touched, we want to distinguish which item lacked gas.

This adds a geth subcommand for downloading era1 files and placing them into
the correct location. The tool can be used even while geth is already running
on the datadir. Downloads are checked against a hard-coded list of checksums
for mainnet and sepolia.

```
./geth download-era --server $SERVER --block 333333
./geth download-era --server $SERVER --block 333333-444444
./geth download-era --server $SERVER --epoch 0-10
./geth download-era --server $SERVER --all
```

The implementation reuses the file downloader we already had for
fetching build tools. I've done some refactoring on it to make sure it
can support the new use case, and there are some changes to the build
here as well.

[EIP-7594](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-7594) defines a limit of
max 6 blobs per transaction. We need to enforce this limit during block
processing.

> Additionally, a limit of 6 blobs per transaction is introduced.
Clients MUST enforce this limit when validating blob transactions at
submission time, when received from the network, and during block
production and processing.

`binary.AppendUvarint` offers better performance than using append
directly, because it avoids unnecessary memory allocation and copying.

In our case, it can increase the performance by +35.8% for the
`blockWriter.append` function:

```
benchmark                        old ns/op     new ns/op     delta
BenchmarkBlockWriterAppend-8     5.97          3.83          -35.80%
```

operations on supported architectures while maintaining the same

…m#32269)

Correct the error message in the ExecuteStatelessPayloadV4 function to
reference newPayloadV4 and the Prague fork, instead of incorrectly
referencing newPayloadV3 and Cancun. 

This improves clarity during debugging and aligns the error message with 
the actual function and fork being validated. No logic is changed.

This PR addresses a flakiness in the rollback test discussed in
ethereum#32252

I found `nonce` collision caused transactions occasionally fail to send.
I tried to change error message in the failed test like:

```
	if err = client.SendTransaction(ctx, signedTx); err != nil {
		t.Fatalf("failed to send transaction: %v, nonce: %d", err, signedTx.Nonce())
	}
```

and I occasionally got test failure with this message:

```
=== CONT  TestFlakyFunction/Run_#100
    rollback_test.go:44: failed to send transaction: already known, nonce: 0
--- FAIL: TestFlakyFunction/Run_#100 (0.07s)
```

Although `nonces` are obtained via `PendingNonceAt`, we observed that,
in rare cases (approximately 1 in 1000), two transactions from the same
sender end up with the same nonce. This likely happens because `tx0` has
not yet propagated to the transaction pool before `tx1` requests its
nonce. When the test succeeds, `tx0` and `tx1` have nonces `0` and `1`,
respectively. However, in rare failures, both transactions end up with
nonce `0`.

We modified the test to explicitly assign nonces to each transaction. By
controlling the nonce values manually, we eliminated the race condition
and ensured consistent behavior. After several thousand runs, the
flakiness was no longer reproducible in my local environment.

Reduced internal polling interval in `pendingStateHasTx()` to speed up
test execution without impacting stability. It reduces test time for
`TestTransactionRollbackBehavior` from about 7 seconds to 2 seconds.
Improvement: preallocate capacity for `logs` at first to avoid
reallocating multi times.
This adds a cross-client protocol test for a recently discovered bug in Nethermind.
This pull request optimizes trie hashing by reducing memory allocation
overhead. Specifically:

- define a fullNodeEncoder pool to reuse encoders and avoid memory
allocations.

- simplify the encoding logic for shortNode and fullNode by getting rid
of the Go interfaces.
This adds a method on vm.EVM to set the jumpdest cache implementation.
It can be used to maintain an analysis cache across VM invocations, to improve
performance by skipping the analysis for already known contracts.

This introduces an error when the filter has both `blockHash` and
`fromBlock`/`toBlock`, since these are mutually exclusive. Seems the
tests were actually returning `not found` error, which went undetected
since there was no check on the actual returned error in the test.
This adds support for importing types from multiple identically-named
packages.
