aristo: fork support via layers/txframes (#2960) * aristo: fork support via layers/txframes This change reorganises how the database is accessed: instead holding a "current frame" in the database object, a dag of frames is created based on the "base frame" held in `AristoDbRef` and all database access happens through this frame, which can be thought of as a consistent point-in-time snapshot of the database based on a particular fork of the chain. In the code, "frame", "transaction" and "layer" is used to denote more or less the same thing: a dag of stacked changes backed by the on-disk database. Although this is not a requirement, in practice each frame holds the change set of a single block - as such, the frame and its ancestors leading up to the on-disk state represents the state of the database after that block has been applied. "committing" means merging the changes to its parent frame so that the difference between them is lost and only the cumulative changes remain - this facility enables frames to be combined arbitrarily wherever they are in the dag. In particular, it becomes possible to consolidate a set of changes near the base of the dag and commit those to disk without having to re-do the in-memory frames built on top of them - this is useful for "flattening" a set of changes during a base update and sending those to storage without having to perform a block replay on top. Looking at abstractions, a side effect of this change is that the KVT and Aristo are brought closer together by considering them to be part of the "same" atomic transaction set - the way the code gets organised, applying a block and saving it to the kvt happens in the same "logical" frame - therefore, discarding the frame discards both the aristo and kvt changes at the same time - likewise, they are persisted to disk together - this makes reasoning about the database somewhat easier but has the downside of increased memory usage, something that perhaps will need addressing in the future. Because the code reasons more strictly about frames and the state of the persisted database, it also makes it more visible where ForkedChain should be used and where it is still missing - in particular, frames represent a single branch of history while forkedchain manages multiple parallel forks - user-facing services such as the RPC should use the latter, ie until it has been finalized, a getBlock request should consider all forks and not just the blocks in the canonical head branch. Another advantage of this approach is that `AristoDbRef` conceptually becomes more simple - removing its tracking of the "current" transaction stack simplifies reasoning about what can go wrong since this state now has to be passed around in the form of `AristoTxRef` - as such, many of the tests and facilities in the code that were dealing with "stack inconsistency" are now structurally prevented from happening. The test suite will need significant refactoring after this change. Once this change has been merged, there are several follow-ups to do: * there's no mechanism for keeping frames up to date as they get committed or rolled back - TODO * naming is confused - many names for the same thing for legacy reason * forkedchain support is still missing in lots of code * clean up redundant logic based on previous designs - in particular the debug and introspection code no longer makes sense * the way change sets are stored will probably need revisiting - because it's a stack of changes where each frame must be interrogated to find an on-disk value, with a base distance of 128 we'll at minimum have to perform 128 frame lookups for *every* database interaction - regardless, the "dag-like" nature will stay * dispose and commit are poorly defined and perhaps redundant - in theory, one could simply let the GC collect abandoned frames etc, though it's likely an explicit mechanism will remain useful, so they stay for now More about the changes: * `AristoDbRef` gains a `txRef` field (todo: rename) that "more or less" corresponds to the old `balancer` field * `AristoDbRef.stack` is gone - instead, there's a chain of `AristoTxRef` objects that hold their respective "layer" which has the actual changes * No more reasoning about "top" and "stack" - instead, each `AristoTxRef` can be a "head" that "more or less" corresponds to the old single-history `top` notion and its stack * `level` still represents "distance to base" - it's computed from the parent chain instead of being stored * one has to be careful not to use frames where forkedchain was intended - layers are only for a single branch of history! * fix layer vtop after rollback * engine fix * Fix test_txpool * Fix test_rpc * Fix copyright year * fix simulator * Fix copyright year * Fix copyright year * Fix tracer * Fix infinite recursion bug * Remove aristo and kvt empty files * Fic copyright year * Fix fc chain_kvt * ForkedChain refactoring * Fix merge master conflict * Fix copyright year * Reparent txFrame * Fix test * Fix txFrame reparent again * Cleanup and fix test * UpdateBase bugfix and fix test * Fixe newPayload bug discovered by hive * Fix engine api fcu * Clean up call template, chain_kvt, andn txguid * Fix copyright year * work around base block loading issue * Add test * Fix updateHead bug * Fix updateBase bug * Change func commitBase to proc commitBase * Touch up and fix debug mode crash --------- Co-authored-by: jangko <jangko128@gmail.com>

Update storage tree admin (#2419) * Tighten `CoreDb` API for accounts why: Apart from cruft, the way to fetch the accounts state root via a `CoreDbColRef` record was unnecessarily complicated. * Extend `CoreDb` API for accounts to cover storage tries why: In future, this will make the notion of column objects obsolete. Storage trees will then be indexed by the account address rather than the vertex ID equivalent like a `CoreDbColRef`. * Apply new/extended accounts API to ledger and tests details: This makes the `distinct_ledger` module obsolete * Remove column object constructors why: They were needed as an abstraction of MPT sub-trees including storage trees. Now, storage trees are handled by the account (e.g. via address) they belong to and all other trees can be identified by a constant well known vertex ID. So there is no need for column objects anymore. Still there are some left-over column object methods wnich will be removed next. * Remove `serialise()` and `PayloadRef` from default Aristo API why: Not needed. `PayloadRef` was used for unstructured/unknown payload formats (account or blob) and `serialise()` was used for decodng `PayloadRef`. Now it is known in advance what the payload looks like. * Added query function `hasStorageData()` whether a storage area exists why: Useful for supporting `slotStateEmpty()` of the `CoreDb` API * In the `Ledger` replace `storage.stateEmpty()` by `slotStateEmpty()` * On Aristo, hide the storage root/vertex ID in the `PayloadRef` why: The storage vertex ID is fully controlled by Aristo while the `AristoAccount` object is controlled by the application. With the storage root part of the `AristoAccount` object, there was a useless administrative burden to keep that storage root field up to date. * Remove cruft, update comments etc. * Update changed MPT access paradigms why: Fixes verified proxy tests * Fluffy cosmetics

Pre-allocate vids for branches (#2882) Each branch node may have up to 16 sub-items - currently, these are given VertexID based when they are first needed leading to a mostly-random order of vertexid for each subitem. Here, we pre-allocate all 16 vertex ids such that when a branch subitem is filled, it already has a vertexid waiting for it. This brings several important benefits: * subitems are sorted and "close" in their id sequencing - this means that when rocksdb stores them, they are likely to end up in the same data block thus improving read efficiency * because the ids are consequtive, we can store just the starting id and a bitmap representing which subitems are in use - this reduces disk space usage for branches allowing more of them fit into a single disk read, further improving disk read and caching performance - disk usage at block 18M is down from 84 to 78gb! * the in-memory footprint of VertexRef reduced allowing more instances to fit into caches and less memory to be used overall. Because of the increased locality of reference, it turns out that we no longer need to iterate over the entire database to efficiently generate the hash key database because the normal computation is now faster - this significantly benefits "live" chain processing as well where each dirtied key must be accompanied by a read of all branch subitems next to it - most of the performance benefit in this branch comes from this locality-of-reference improvement. On a sample resync, there's already ~20% improvement with later blocks seeing increasing benefit (because the trie is deeper in later blocks leading to more benefit from branch read perf improvements) ``` blocks: 18729664, baseline: 190h43m49s, contender: 153h59m0s Time (total): -36h44m48s, -19.27% ``` Note: clients need to be resynced as the PR changes the on-disk format R.I.P. little bloom filter - your life in the repo was short but valuable

## Delta layers are stacked implying a tables hierarchy. Table entries on
## a higher level take precedence over lower layer table entries. So an
## existing key-value table entry of a layer on top supersedes same key
## entries on all lower layers. A missing entry on a higher layer indicates
## that the key-value pair might be fond on some lower layer.
##
## A zero value (`nil`, empty hash etc.) is considered am missing key-value
## pair. Tables on the `LayerDelta` may have stray zero key-value pairs for
## missing entries due to repeated transactions while adding and deleting
## entries. There is no need to purge redundant zero entries.
##
## As for `kMap[]` entries, there might be a zero value entriy relating
## (i.e. indexed by the same vertex ID) to an `sMap[]` non-zero value entry
## (of the same layer or a lower layer whatever comes first.) This entry
## is kept as a reminder that the hash value of the `kMap[]` entry needs
## to be re-compiled.
##
## The reasoning behind the above scenario is that every vertex held on the
## `sTab[]` tables must correspond to a hash entry held on the `kMap[]`
## tables. So a corresponding zero value or missing entry produces an
## inconsistent state that must be resolved.

The new functions `getOrEmpty()` and `mergeOrEmpty()` return an an empty `Blob` if there is no such key found. * Rewrite `core_apps.nim` using new API from `CoreDb` * Use `Aristo` functionality for calculating Merkle signatures details: For debugging, the `VerifyAristoForMerkleRootCalc` can be set so that `Aristo` results will be verified against the legacy versions. * Provide general interface for Merkle signing key-value tables details: Export `Aristo` wrappers * Activate `CoreDb` tests why: Now, API seems to be stable enough for general tests. * Update `toHex()` usage why: Byteutils' `toHex()` is superior to `toSeq.mapIt(it.toHex(2)).join` * Split `aristo_transcode` => `aristo_serialise` + `aristo_blobify` why: + Different modules for different purposes + `aristo_serialise`: RLP encoding/decoding + `aristo_blobify`: Aristo database encoding/decoding * Compacted representation of small nodes' links instead of Keccak hashes why: Ethereum MPTs use Keccak hashes as node links if the size of an RLP encoded node is at least 32 bytes. Otherwise, the RLP encoded node value is used as a pseudo node link (rather than a hash.) Such a node is nor stored on key-value database. Rather the RLP encoded node value is stored instead of a lode link in a parent node instead. Only for the root hash, the top level node is always referred to by the hash. This feature needed an abstraction of the `HashKey` object which is now either a hash or a blob of length at most 31 bytes. This leaves two ways of representing an empty/void `HashKey` type, either as an empty blob of zero length, or the hash of an empty blob. * Update `CoreDb` interface (mainly reducing logger noise) * Fix copyright years (to make `Lint` happy)

Update storage tree admin (#2419) * Tighten `CoreDb` API for accounts why: Apart from cruft, the way to fetch the accounts state root via a `CoreDbColRef` record was unnecessarily complicated. * Extend `CoreDb` API for accounts to cover storage tries why: In future, this will make the notion of column objects obsolete. Storage trees will then be indexed by the account address rather than the vertex ID equivalent like a `CoreDbColRef`. * Apply new/extended accounts API to ledger and tests details: This makes the `distinct_ledger` module obsolete * Remove column object constructors why: They were needed as an abstraction of MPT sub-trees including storage trees. Now, storage trees are handled by the account (e.g. via address) they belong to and all other trees can be identified by a constant well known vertex ID. So there is no need for column objects anymore. Still there are some left-over column object methods wnich will be removed next. * Remove `serialise()` and `PayloadRef` from default Aristo API why: Not needed. `PayloadRef` was used for unstructured/unknown payload formats (account or blob) and `serialise()` was used for decodng `PayloadRef`. Now it is known in advance what the payload looks like. * Added query function `hasStorageData()` whether a storage area exists why: Useful for supporting `slotStateEmpty()` of the `CoreDb` API * In the `Ledger` replace `storage.stateEmpty()` by `slotStateEmpty()` * On Aristo, hide the storage root/vertex ID in the `PayloadRef` why: The storage vertex ID is fully controlled by Aristo while the `AristoAccount` object is controlled by the application. With the storage root part of the `AristoAccount` object, there was a useless administrative burden to keep that storage root field up to date. * Remove cruft, update comments etc. * Update changed MPT access paradigms why: Fixes verified proxy tests * Fluffy cosmetics

Pre-allocate vids for branches (#2882) Each branch node may have up to 16 sub-items - currently, these are given VertexID based when they are first needed leading to a mostly-random order of vertexid for each subitem. Here, we pre-allocate all 16 vertex ids such that when a branch subitem is filled, it already has a vertexid waiting for it. This brings several important benefits: * subitems are sorted and "close" in their id sequencing - this means that when rocksdb stores them, they are likely to end up in the same data block thus improving read efficiency * because the ids are consequtive, we can store just the starting id and a bitmap representing which subitems are in use - this reduces disk space usage for branches allowing more of them fit into a single disk read, further improving disk read and caching performance - disk usage at block 18M is down from 84 to 78gb! * the in-memory footprint of VertexRef reduced allowing more instances to fit into caches and less memory to be used overall. Because of the increased locality of reference, it turns out that we no longer need to iterate over the entire database to efficiently generate the hash key database because the normal computation is now faster - this significantly benefits "live" chain processing as well where each dirtied key must be accompanied by a read of all branch subitems next to it - most of the performance benefit in this branch comes from this locality-of-reference improvement. On a sample resync, there's already ~20% improvement with later blocks seeing increasing benefit (because the trie is deeper in later blocks leading to more benefit from branch read perf improvements) ``` blocks: 18729664, baseline: 190h43m49s, contender: 153h59m0s Time (total): -36h44m48s, -19.27% ``` Note: clients need to be resynced as the PR changes the on-disk format R.I.P. little bloom filter - your life in the repo was short but valuable
