I've been thinking about the possibility of witness malleability if the annex becomes standard. As it stands, any script path spend that lacks a CHECKSIG can have an arbitrary amount of data placed in the annex by a third party.

A simple solution would be to make unsigned annexes non-standard. I implemented this by adding a m_annex_committed field to ScriptExecutionData, which is only set to true if CheckSchnorrSignature executes successfully and an annex is present. I called this variable m_annex_committed rather than m_annex_signed in case there is a future opcode that commits to the annex explicitly.

@petertodd Do you think this is a good idea, if the annex is made standard? I'm not sure how common non-CHECKSIG scripts are today, but I imagine they could become more common if opcodes like CTV or CSFS are adopted in the future.

return set_error(serror, SCRIPT_ERR_SCHNORR_SIG_HASHTYPE);
}
if (!VerifySchnorrSignature(sig, pubkey, sighash)) return set_error(serror, SCRIPT_ERR_SCHNORR_SIG);
execdata.m_annex_committed = execdata.m_annex_present;

I'm not sure this is actually correct.

IIUC schnorr signatures always sign the presence or absence of a annex. If the annex is not present, they're still committing to the absence of the annex. While the current standardness rule in Libre Relay requires annexes to either be all present or not present at all. What we actually want is for annexes to be not present only in input types that can't commit to an annex. Which is specifically taproot inputs that don't have any check sig operations.

It's a matter of semantics and how we want to define m_annex_signed. Namely, should m_annex_signed = true if and only if an annex has been signed, or if and only if there exists a signature that would commit to the annex, if present?

As far as discouraging unsigned annexes is concerned, it shouldn't matter, since we only return an error if execdata.m_annex_present && !execdata.m_annex_signed.

Personally, I'm indifferent, and I'm happy to go with whichever folks prefer. My only concern is that it would be confusing for m_annex_signed to be true if no annex is present.

It's unfortunate that we decided to make it possible to have both an empty annex, and no annex at all.

Maybe we can think about this in terms of an unwanted annex: an annex that exists. But without a clear signature authorizing its existence. Or alternatively, an unsigned annex.

I like that suggestion. Calling the variable m_annex_unsigned might be the cleanest semantically.

I updated the PR to reflect that change.

In principal this seems reasonable.

One nit: how about we called it an "unsigned" annex rather than "uncommitted"? That's probably going to be less confusing for people, as at the moment the only way to commit to an annex is to sign it; no-one is proposing actual annex commitments in any soft-fork.

Oh, since Bitcoin Core does not have this patch, let's use a totally different bit number for this to avoid merge conflicts in the future.

Maybe the highest bit?

…xec in RunCommandJSON"

faa1c3e Revert "Merge bitcoin#32343: common: Close non-std fds before exec in RunCommandJSON" (MarcoFalke)

Pull request description:

  After a fork() in a multithreaded program, the child can safely
  call only async-signal-safe functions (see [signal-safety(7)](https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/signal-safety.7.html))
  until such time as it calls execv.

  The standard library (`std` namespace) is not async-signal-safe. Also, `throw`, isn't.

  There was an alternative implementation using `readdir` (bitcoin#32529), but that isn't async-signal-safe either, and that implementation was still using `throw`.

  So temporarily revert this feature.

  A follow-up in the future can add it back, using only async-signal-safe functions, or by using a different approach.

  Fixes bitcoin#32524
  Fixes bitcoin#33015
  Fixes bitcoin#32855

  For reference, a failure can manifest in the GCC debug mode:

  * While `fork`ing, a debug mode mutex is held (by any other thread).
  * The `fork`ed child tries to use the stdard libary before `execv` and deadlocks.

  This may look like the following:
