* Enable `snap/1` accounts range service
* Allow to change the garbage collector to `boehm` as a Makefile option.
why:
There is still an unsolved memory corruption problem that might be
related to the standard `gc`. It seemingly goes away if the `gc` is
changed to `boehm`.
Specifying another `gc` on the make level simplifies debugging and
development.
* Code cosmetics
details:
* updated exception annotations
* extracted `worker_desc.nim` from `full/worker.nim`
* etc.
* Implement option to state a sync modifier file
why:
This allows to specify extra sync type specific options which might
change over time. This file is regularly checked for updates.
* Implement a threshold when to suspend full syncing
why:
For a test scenario, a full sync beep may work as a local snap server.
There is no need to download the full block chain.
details:
The file containing the pivot specs is specified by the
`--sync-ctrl-file` option. It is regularly parsed for updates.
* Cosmetics, update logger `topics`
* Clean up sync/start methods in nimbus
why:
* The `protocols` list selects served (as opposed to sync) protocols only.
* The `SyncMode.Default` object is allocated with the other possible sync
mode objects.
* Add snap service stub to `nimbus`
* Provide full set of snap response handler stubs
* Bicarb for the latest CI hiccup
why:
Might be a change in the CI engine for MacOS.
* Stop negotiating pivot if peer repeatedly replies w/usesless answers
why:
There is some fringe condition where a peer replies with legit but
useless empty headers repetely. This goes on until somebody stops.
We stop now.
* Rename `missingNodes` => `sickSubTries`
why:
These (probably missing) nodes represent in reality fully or partially
missing sub-tries. The top nodes may even exist, e.g. as a shallow
sub-trie.
also:
Keep track of account healing on/of by bool variable `accountsHealing`
controlled in `pivot_helper.execSnapSyncAction()`
* Add `nimbus` option argument `snapCtx` for starting snap recovery (if any)
also:
+ Trigger the recovery (or similar) process from inside the global peer
worker initialisation `worker.setup()` and not by the `snap.start()`
function.
+ Have `runPool()` returned a `bool` code to indicate early stop to
scheduler.
* Can import partial snap sync checkpoint at start
details:
+ Modified what is stored with the checkpoint in `snapdb_pivot.nim`
+ Will be loaded within `runDaemon()` if activated
* Forgot to import total coverage range
why:
Only the top (or latest) pivot needs coverage but the total coverage
is the list of all ranges for all pivots -- simply forgotten.
* Add `stop()` methods to shutdown to shutdown procedure
why:
Nasty behaviour when hitting Ctrl-C, otherwise
* Add background service to sync scheduler
why:
The background service will be used for sync data import and recovery
after restart.
It is controlled by the sync scheduler for an easy turn/on off API.
also:
Simplified snap ticker time calc.
* Fix typo
* Miscellaneous updates TBC
* Disentangled pivot2 module from snap
why:
Wrote as template on top of sync so it can be shared by fast and snap
sync.
* Renamed and relocated pivot sources
* Integrated `best_pivot` module into full and snap sync
why:
Full sync used an older version of `best_pivot`
* isolating download module from full sync
why;
might be shared with snap sync at a later stage
* Provided common scheduler API, applied to `full` sync
* Use hexary trie as storage for proofs_db records
also:
+ Store metadata with account for keeping track of account state
+ add iterator over accounts
* Common scheduler API applied to `snap` sync
* Prepare for accounts bulk import
details:
+ Added some ad-hoc checks for proving accounts data received from the
snap/1 (will be replaced by proper database version when ready)
+ Added code that dumps some of the received snap/1 data into a file
(turned of by default, see `worker_desc.nim`)
* Error return in `persistBlocks()` on initial `VmState` roblem
why:
previously threw an exception
* Updated sync mode option
why:
using enum rather than bool => space for more
* Added sync mode `full`, re-factued legacy sync
also:
rebased
* Fix typo (crashes `pesistBlocks()` otherwise)
also:
rebase to master
* Reduce log ticker noise by suppressing duplicate messages
* Clarify staged queue overflow handling
why:
backtrack/re-org mode in `stageItem()` should be detected by both,
the global indicator or the work item where it might have moved into.
also:
rebased
* Reorg SnapPeerBase descriptor, notably start/stop flags
details:
Instead of using three boolean flags startedFetch, stopped, and
stopThisState a single enum type is used with values SyncRunningOk,
SyncStopRequest, and SyncStopped.
* Restricting snap to eth66 and later
why:
Id-tracked request/response wire protocol can handle overlapped
responses when requests are sent in row.
* Align function names with source code file names
why:
Easier to reconcile when following the implemented logic.
* Update trace logging (want file locations)
why:
The macros previously used hid the relevant file location (when
`chroniclesLineNumbers` turned on.) It rather printed the file
location of the template that was wrapping `trace`.
* Use KeyedQueue table instead of sequence
why:
Quick access, easy configuration as LRU or FIFO with max entries
(currently LRU.)
* Dissolve `SnapPeerEx` object extension into `SnapPeer`
why;
It is logically cleaner and more obvious not to inherit from
`SnapPeerBase` but to specify opaque field object references of the
merged `SnapPeer` object. These can then be locally inherited.
* Dissolve `SnapSyncEx` object extension into `SnapSync`
why;
It is logically cleaner and more obvious not to inherit from
`SnapSyncEx` but to specify opaque field object references of
the `SnapPeer` object. These can then be locally inherited.
Also, in the re-factored code here the interface descriptor
`SnapSyncCtx` inherited `SnapSyncEx` which was sub-optimal (OO
inheritance makes it easier to work with call back functions.)
* Use type name eth and snap (rather than snap1)
* Prettified snap/eth handler trace messages
* Regrouped sync sources
details:
Snap storage related sources are moved to common directory.
Option --new-sync renamed to --snap-sync
also:
Normalised logging for secondary/non-protocol handlers.
* Merge protocol wrapper files => protocol.nim
details:
Merge wrapper sync/protocol_ethxx.nim and sync/protocol_snapxx.nim
into single file snap/protocol.nim
* Comments cosmetics
* Similar start logic for blockchain_sync.nim and sync/snap.nim
* Renamed p2p/blockchain_sync.nim -> sync/fast.nim
why:
Accidentally wrapped into waitFor() directive with reviving jl/sync
branch.
also:
Decorate eth/66 and snap/1 protocol trace messages with protocol
type and version
* Squashed snap-sync-preview patch
why:
Providing end results makes it easier to have an overview.
Collected patch set comments are available as nimbus/sync/ChangeLog.md
in chronological order, oldest first.
* Removed some cruft and obsolete imports, normalised logging
- remove `waitFor` and store async result in Future[T] for future execution
instead of blocking other services from starting and running.
This also fixes very long delay Ctrl-C issue. Fixes#585
- always create sealing engine instance even though there is no
signer. other services such engine api need it.
* Enable JWT authentication for websockets
details:
Currently, this is optional and only enabled when the jwtsecret option
is set.
There is a default mechanism to generate a JWT secret if it is not
explicitly stated. This mechanism is currently unused.
* Make JWT authentication compulsory for websockets
* Fix unit test entry point + cosmetics
* Update JSON-RPC link
* Improvements as suggested by Mamy
* dist: precompiled binaries and Docker images
The builds are reproducible, the binaries are portable and statically link librocksdb.
This took some patching. Upstream PR: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/9752
32-bit ARM is missing as a target because two different GCC versions
fail with an ICE when trying to cross-compile RocksDB. Using Clang
instead is too much trouble for a platform that nobody should be using
anyway.
(Clang doesn't come with its own target headers and libraries, can't be
easily convinced to use the ones from GCC, so it needs an fs image from
a 32-bit ARM distro - at which point I stopped caring).
* CI: disable reproducibility test
* Activate wire protocol eth/66
and:
Disentangle protocol_eth66.nim from import sections
why:
Importing the protocol_eth66 module is not necessary. There is
no need to know too many details of the underlying wire protocol. All
that is needed will be exported by blockchain_sync.nim.
* fixes, and rebase
* Update nimbus/p2p/blockchain_sync.nim

Includes a simple test harness for the merge interop M1 milestone
This aims to enable connecting nimbus-eth2 to nimbus-eth1 within
the testing protocol described here:
https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2/blob/amphora-merge-interop/docs/interop_merge.md
To execute the work-in-progress test, please run:
In terminal 1:

- Remove the `--evm` option on non-EVMC builds.
`when` around an option doesn't work with confutils; it fails to compile.
Workaround that by setting the `ignore` pragma on EVMC-specific options.
(Thanks @jangko for that new pragma). I prefer this to a solution which
moves the whole option's pragma elsewhere, especially if we add more options.
- Improve the help text, so that it shows the standard library extension on
each target platform (or none if on another platform).
- Undo b3f21bf4 "add missing evmc_enabled conditional compilation in
evmc_dynamic_loader". Move the conditional to `nimbus.nim`, and take more
care there to only use the loader function in EVMC builds.
It's ok to just not include this EVMC-only module (like some other EVMC
modules), rather than making the module itself a bit broken: Without this
change, it references a function that's not imported or linked to, and it
only links because there is no call sequence reaching that function.

This patch adds:
- Load and use a third-party EVM in a shared library, instead of Nimbus EVM.
- New option `--evm` to specify which library to load.
- The library and this loader conforms to the [EVMC]
(https://evmc.ethereum.org/) 9.x specification.
Any third-party EVM which is compatible with EVMC version 9.x and supports EVM1
contract code will be accepted. The operating system's shared library format
applies. These are `.so*` files on Linux, `.dll` files on Windows and `.dylib`
files on Mac.
The alternative EVM can be selected in two ways:
- Nimbus command line option `--evm:<path>`.
- Environment variable `NIMBUS_EVM=<path>`.
The reason for an environment variable is this allows all the test programs to
run with a third-party EVM as well. Some don't parse command line options.
There are some limitations to be aware of:
- The third-party EVM must use EVMC version 9.x, no other major version.
EVMC 9.x supports EIP-1559 / London fork and older transactions.
- Nested `*CALL` and `CREATE*` operations don't use the third-party EVM yet.
These call the built-in Nimbus EVM. This mixing of different EVMs between
levels is explicitly allowed in specs, so there is no problem doing it.
- The third-party EVM doesn't need to support precompiles, because those are
nested calls, which use the built-in Nimbus EVM.
- Third-party EVMs execute contracts correctly, but fail the final `rootHash`
match. The reason is that some account state changes, which are correct, are
currently inside the Nimbus EVM and need to be moved to EVMC host logic.
*This is a known work in progress*. The EVM execution itself is fine.
Test results using "evmone" third-party EVM:
- [evmone](https://github.com/ethereum/evmone) has been tested. Only on
Linux but it "should" work on Windows and Mac equally well.
- [Version 0.8.1](https://github.com/ethereum/evmone/releases/tag/v0.8.1) was
used because it is compatible with EVMC 9.x, which is required for the
EIP-1559 / London fork, which Nimbus supports. Version 0.8.0 could be used
but it looks like an important bug was fixed in 0.8.1.
- evmone runs fine and the trace output looks good. The calls and arguments
are the same as the built-in Nimbus EVM for tests that have been checked
manually, except evmone skips some calls that can be safely skipped.
- The final `rootHash` is incorrect, due to the *work in progress* mentioned
above which is not part of the evmone execution. Due to this, it's possible
to try evmone and verify expected behaviours, which also validates our own
EVMC implementation, but it can't be used as a full substitute yet.

this is a preparation for migration to confutils based config
although there is still some getConfiguration usage in tests code
it will be removed after new config arrived
