Fearture/poa clique tuning (#765)
* Provide API

details:
  API is bundled via clique.nim.

* Set extraValidation as default for PoA chains

why:
  This triggers consensus verification and an update of the list
  of authorised signers. These signers are integral part of the
  PoA block chain.

todo:
  Option argument to control validation for the nimbus binary.

* Fix snapshot state block number

why:
  Using sub-sequence here, so the len() function was wrong.

* Optional start where block verification begins

why:
  Can speed up time building loading initial parts of block chain. For
  PoA, this allows to prove & test that authorised signers can be
  (correctly) calculated starting at any point on the block chain.

todo:
  On Goerli around blocks #193537..#197568, processing time increases
  disproportionally -- needs to be understand

* For Clique test, get old grouping back (7 transactions per log entry)

why:
  Forgot to change back after troubleshooting

* Fix field/function/module-name misunderstanding

why:
  Make compilation work

* Use eth_types.blockHash() rather than utils.hash() in Clique modules

why:
  Prefer lib module

* Dissolve snapshot_misc.nim

details:
  .. into clique_verify.nim (the other source file clique_unused.nim
  is inactive)

* Hide unused AsyncLock in Clique descriptor

details:
  Unused here but was part of the Go reference implementation

* Remove fakeDiff flag from Clique descriptor

details:
  This flag was a kludge in the Go reference implementation used for the
  canonical tests. The tests have been adapted so there is no need for
  the fakeDiff flag and its implementation.

* Not observing minimum distance from epoch sync point

why:
  For compiling PoA state, the go implementation will walk back to the
  epoch header with at least 90000 blocks apart from the current header
  in the absence of other synchronisation points.

  Here just the nearest epoch header is used. The assumption is that all
  the checkpoints before have been vetted already regardless of the
  current branch.

details:
  The behaviour of using the nearest vs the minimum distance epoch is
  controlled by a flag and can be changed at run time.

* Analysing processing time (patch adds some debugging/visualisation support)

why:
  At the first half million blocks of the Goerli replay, blocks on the
  interval #194854..#196224 take exceptionally long to process, but not
  due to PoA processing.

details:
  It turns out that much time is spent in p2p/excecutor.processBlock()
  where the elapsed transaction execution time is significantly greater
  for many of these blocks.

  Between the 1371 blocks #194854..#196224 there are 223 blocks with more
  than 1/2 seconds execution time whereas there are only 4 such blocks
  before and 13 such after this range up to #504192.

* fix debugging symbol in clique_desc (causes CI failing)

* Fixing canonical reference tests

why:
  Two errors were introduced earlier but ovelooked:
   1. "Remove fakeDiff flag .." patch was incomplete
   2. "Not observing minimum distance .." introduced problem w/tests 23/24

details:
  Fixing 2. needed to revert the behaviour by setting the
  applySnapsMinBacklog flag for the Clique descriptor. Also a new
  test was added to lock the new behaviour.

* Remove cruft

why:
  Clique/PoA processing was intended to take place somewhere in
  executor/process_block.processBlock() but was decided later to run
  from chain/persist_block.persistBlock() instead.

* Update API comment

* ditto

EIP-1559: Fee market change for ETH 1.0 chain
Transaction and BlockHeader already updated in nim-eth repo
to support EIP-1559

EIP-1559 header validation and gasLimit validation
already implemented in previous commit

This commit deals with block validation:
- Effective gasPrice per EIP-1559
- new miner reward based on priorityFee

EIP-1559: unify PoA and PoW gasLimit and baseFee validation
Turn out both EthHash and Clique are using the same gasLimit
validation.

They also share the same EIP-1559 baseFee validation.

Jordan/fix some failing nohive tests (#727)
* continue importing rlp blocks

why:
  a chain of blocks to be imported might have legit blocks
  after rejected blocks

details:
  import loop only stops if the import list is exhausted or if there
  was a decoding error. this adds another four to the count of successful
  no-hive tests.

* verify DAO marked extra data field in block header

why:
  was ignored, scores another two no-hive tests

* verify minimum required difficulty in header validator

why:
  two more nohive tests to succeed

details:
  * subsumed extended header tests under validateKinship() and renamed it
    more appropriately validateHeaderAndKinship()
  * enhanced readability of p2p/chain.nim
  * cleaned up test_blockchain_json.nim

* verify positive gasUsed unless no transactions

why:
  solves another to nohive tests

details:
  straightened test_blockchain_json chech so there is no unconditional
  rejection anymore (based on the input test  scenario)

verify age of uncle's parent (#719)
why:
  parent must be older => check needed for bcFrontierToHomestead test

EVM: Remove `vm_types2` everywhere, use common forks list instead
File `vm_types2` is obsolete.  Remove this file and divert all imports to the
common forks list outside the EVM, or in some cases they don't need it anyway.

Jordan Hrycaj b83b47e541 LRU cache tests makeover
why:
  source-local unit tests would hardly be triggered by github CI as rightly
  criticised with the last patch.

details:
  source-local unit tests have been moved to tests folder.

  this version also contains rlp serialisation code so rlp encode/decode
  will apply tranparently. this is not needed in p2p/validate but will be
   useful with the clique protocol.

Jordan Hrycaj a5e0bb6139 use general lru_cache for EpochHashCache
why:
  generic implementation will be also be used elsewhere
2021-05-24 07:57:21 +01:00
Jordan Hrycaj 3663b1603f pulled out cache logic into separate file
why:
  handy to re-use, eg. for upcoming clique implementation

Jordan Hrycaj d6a5cecb98 re-wrote validation with exceptionless functions
why:
  exceptions were from test code should be avoided in production code
