The forking facility has been replaced by ForkedChain - frames and
layers are two other mechanisms that mostly do the same thing at the
aristo level, without quite providing the functionality FC needs - this
cleanup will make that integration easier.
The current getCanonicalHead of core db should not be confused with ForkedChain.latestHeader.
Therefore we need to use getCanonicalHead to restricted case only, e.g. initializing ForkedChain.
In block processing, depending on the complexity of a transaction and
hotness of caches etc, signature checking can actually make up the
majority of time needed to process a transaction (60% observed in some
randomly sampled block ranges).
Fortunately, this is a task that trivially can be offloaded to a task
pool similar to how nimbus-eth2 does it.
This PR introduces taskpools in the most simple way possible, by
performing signature checking concurrently with other TX processing,
assigning a taskpool task per TX effectively.
With this little trick, we're in gigagas land 🎉 on my laptop!

INF 2024-12-10 21:05:35.170+01:00 Imported blocks
blockNumber=3874817 b... mgps=1222.707 ...
```
Tests don't use the taskpool for now because it needs manual cleanup and
we don't have a good mechanism in place. Future PR:s should address this
by creating a common shutdown sequence that also closes and cleans up
other resources like the DB.

* Fixes related to Prague execution requests
Turn out the specs are changed:
- WITHDRAWAL_REQUEST_ADDRESS -> WITHDRAWAL_QUEUE_ADDRESS
- CONSOLIDATION_REQUEST_ADDRESS -> CONSOLIDATION_QUEUE_ADDRESS
- DEPOSIT_CONTRACT_ADDRESS -> only mainnet
- depositContractAddress can be configurable
Also fix bugs related to t8n tool
* Fix for evmc
* Feature: User configurable extraData when assemble a block
As evident from https://holesky.beaconcha.in/block/2657016
when nimbus-eth1 assemble a block, the extraData field is empty.
This commit will give user a chance to put his extraData or
use default value.
* Warning if extraData exceeds 32 bytes limit
* Add missing comma
* prefer the spec-derived name where possible
* don't pass stateRoot to LedgerRef and friends (it doesn't do anything)
* add deprecation warning in graphql - it needs updating to use
forkedchain instead
* remove redundant abstraction
* fix misleading raises - the implementation actually swallows errors or
panics (depending on how many other layers of abstraction we penetrate
before detecting it)
* Accept finalised hash from RPC with the canon header as well
* Reorg internal sync descriptor(s)
details:
Update target from RPC to provide the `consensus header` as well as
the `finalised` block number
why:
Prepare for using `importBlock()` instead of `persistBlocks()`
* Cosmetic updates
details:
+ Collect all pretty printers in `helpers.nim`
+ Remove unused return codes from function prototype
* Use `importBlock()` + `forkChoice()` rather than `persistBlocks()`
* Update logging and metrics
* Update docu
* partial commit
* fixes
* remove converters too
* revert changes on nimbus_verified_proxy
* revert changes in converter
* revert changes(re-xport) in rpc_types
* update copyright year
* replace types in other binaries
* chain config bug
* fix rebase conflict imcomplete buffer
* fix more rebase buffers
* remove ditto types and converters
* fix the tests
* update copyright year
* Fix fringe condition clarifying how to handle an empty range
why:
The `interval_set` module would treat an undefined interval construct
`[2,1]` as`[2,2]` (the right bound being `max(2,1)`.)
* Use the `consensus head` rather than the `finalised` block as sync target
why:
The former is ahead of the `finalised` block.
* In ctx descriptor rename `final` field to `target`
* Update docu, rename `F` -> `T`
This is a minimal set of changes to make things work with the new types
in nim-eth - this is the minimal PR that merely resolves
incompatibilities while the full change set would include more cleanup
and migration.
* Cosmetics, small fixes, add stashed headers verifier
* Remove direct `Era1` support
why:
Era1 is indirectly supported by using the import tool before syncing.
* Clarify database persistent save function.
why:
Function relied on the last saved state block number which was wrong.
It now relies on the tx-level. If it is 0, then data are saved directly.
Otherwise the task that owns the tx will do it.
* Extracted configuration constants into separate file
* Enable single peer mode for debugging
* Fix peer losing issue in multi-mode
details:
Running concurrent download peers was previously programmed as running
a batch downloading and storing ~8k headers and then leaving the `async`
function to be restarted by a scheduler.
This was unfortunate because of occasionally occurring long waiting
times for restart.
While the time gap until restarting were typically observed a few
millisecs, there were always a few outliers which well exceed several
seconds. This seemed to let remote peers run into timeouts.
* Prefix function names `unprocXxx()` and `stagedYyy()` by `headers`
why:
There will be other `unproc` and `staged` modules.
* Remove cruft, update logging
* Fix accounting issue
details:
When staging after fetching headers from the network, there was an off
by 1 error occurring when the result was by one smaller than requested.
Also, a whole range was mis-accounted when a peer was terminating
connection immediately after responding.
* Fix slow/error header accounting when fetching
why:
Originally set for detecting slow headers in a row, the counter
was wrongly extended to general errors.
* Ban peers for a while that respond with too few headers continuously
why:
Some peers only returned one header at a time. If these peers sit on a
farm, they might collectively slow down the download process.
* Update RPC beacon header updater
why:
Old function hook has slightly changed its meaning since it was used
for snap sync. Also, the old hook is used by other functions already.
* Limit number of peers or set to single peer mode
details:
Merge several concepts, single peer mode being one of it.
* Some code clean up, fixings for removing of compiler warnings
* De-noise header fetch related sources
why:
Header download looks relatively stable, so general debugging is not
needed, anymore. This is the equivalent of removing the scaffold from
the part of the building where work has completed.
* More clean up and code prettification for headers stuff
* Implement body fetch and block import
details:
Available headers are used stage blocks by combining existing headers
with newly fetched blocks. Then these blocks are imported/executed via
`persistBlocks()`.
* Logger cosmetics and cleanup
* Remove staged block queue debugging
details:
Feature still available, just not executed anymore
* Docu, logging update
* Update/simplify `runDaemon()`
* Re-calibrate block body requests and soft config for import blocks batch
why:
* For fetching, larger fetch requests are mostly truncated anyway on
MainNet.
* For executing, smaller batch sizes reduce the memory needed for the
price of longer execution times.
* Update metrics counters
* Docu update
* Some fixes, formatting updates, etc.
* Update `borrowed` type: uint -. uint64
also:
Always convert to `uint64` rather than `uint` where appropriate
* init style for Hash256
https://github.com/status-im/nim-eth/pull/733 updates `Hash256` to
become an array instead of an object - unfortunately, nim does not allow
constructing arrays with `name()`, so this PR changes it to `default`
which works with both.
* lint
* Wiring ForkedChainRef to other components
- Disable majority of hive simulators
- Only enable pyspec_sim for the moment
- The pyspec_sim is using a smaller RPC service wired to ForkedChainRef
- The RPC service will gradually grow
* Addressing PR review
* Fix test_beacon/setup_env
* Enable consensus_sim (#2441)
* Enable consensus_sim
* Remove isFile check
* Enable Engine API jwt auth tests and exchange cap tests
* Enable engine api in build_sim.sh
* Wire ForkedChainRef to Engine API newPayload
* Wire Engine API getBodies to ForkedChainRef
* Wire Engine API api_forkchoice to ForkedChainRef
* Wire more RPC methods to ForkedChainRef
* Implement eth_syncing
* Implement eth_call and eth_getlogs
* TxPool: simplify smartHead
* Fix smartHead usage
* Fix txpool headDiff
* Remove hasBlockHeader and use headerExists
* Addressing review
* bump metrics
* Remove cruft
* Cosmetics, update some logging, noise control
* Renamed `CoreDb` function `hasKey` => `hasKeyRc` and provided `hasKey`
why:
Currently, `hasKey` returns a `Result[]` rather than a `bool` which
is what one would expect from a function prototype of this name.
This was a bit of an annoyance and cost unnecessary attention.
* Use block number or timestamp to determine fork rules
Avoid confusion raised by `forkGTE` usage where block informations are present.
* Get rid of forkGTE
* Rename `newKvt()` -> `ctx.getKvt()`
why:
Clean up legacy shortcut. Also, the `KVT` returned is not instantiated
but refers to the shared `KVT` that resides in a context which is a
generalisation of an in-memory database fork. The function `ctx`
retrieves the default context.
* Rename `newTransaction()` -> `ctx.newTransaction()`
why:
Clean up legacy shortcut. The transaction is applied to a context as a
generalisation of an in-memory database fork. The function `ctx`
retrieves the default context.
* Rename `getColumn(CtGeneric)` -> `getGeneric()`
why:
No more a list of well known sub-tries needed, a single one is enough.
In fact, `getColumn()` did only support a single sub-tree by now.
* Reduce TODO list
* Simplify txpool baseFeeGet
- Avoid using toEVMFork because we are not in EVM
- Rename `isLondon` to `isLondonOrLater`
* Remove timestamp from isLondonOrLater
* CoreDb: remove PHK tries
why:
There is no general use anymore for an MPT with a pre-hashed key. It
was used to resemble the `SecureHexaryTrie` logic from the legacy DB.
The only pace where this is needed is the `Leger` which uses a
a distinct MPT version anyway (see `distinct_ledgers.nim`.)
* Rename `CoreDx*` -> `CoreDb*`
why:
The naming `CoreDx*` was used to differentiate the new CoreDb API from
the legacy API which had descriptors named `CoreDb*`.
* Bump nim-eth, nim-web3, nimbus-eth2
- Replace std.Option with results.Opt
- Fields name changes
* More fixes
* Fix Portal stream async raises and portal testnet Opt usage
* Bump eth + nimbus-eth2 + more fixes related to eth_types changes
* Fix in utp test app and nimbus-eth2 bump
* Fix test_blockchain_json rebase conflict
* Fix EVMC block_timestamp conversion plus commentary

This PR consolidates the split header-body sequences into a single EthBlock
sequence and cleans up the fallout from that which significantly reduces
block processing overhead during import thanks to less garbage collection
and fewer copies of things all around.
Notably, since the number of headers must always match the number of bodies,
we also get rid of a pointless degree of freedom that in the future could
introduce unnecessary bugs.
* only read header and body from era file
* avoid several unnecessary copies along the block processing way
* simplify signatures, cleaning up unused arguemnts and returns
* use `stew/assign2` in a few strategic places where the generated
nim assignent is slow and add a few `move` to work around poor
analysis in nim 1.6 (will need to be revisited for 2.0)

why:
Was used to allow late `Clique` to store directly to disk
* CoreDb: Remove prune flag related functionality
why:
Is completely legacy stuff
* CoreDb: Remove dependence on legacy API (tests unsupported yet)
why:
Does not fully support Aristo
* Re-factoring `state_db` using new API
details:
Only minimum changes needed to compile `nimbus`
* Update tests and aux modules
* Turn off legacy API and remove `distinct_tries`
comment:
The legacy API has now cruft status, will be removed soon
