* Add missing leaf cache update when a leaf turns to a branch with two
leaves (on merge) and vice versa (on delete) - this could lead to stale
leaves being returned from the cache causing validation failures - it
didn't happen because the leaf caches were not being used efficiently :)
* Replace `seq` with `ArrayBuf` in `Hike` allowing it to become
allocation-free - this PR also works around an inefficiency in nim in
returning large types via a `var` parameter
* Use the leaf cache instead of `getVtxRc` to fetch recent leaves - this
makes the vertex cache more efficient at caching branches because fewer
leaf requests pass through it.
Compared to `keyed_queue`, `minilru` uses significantly less memory, in
particular for the 32-byte hash keys where `kq` stores several copies of
the key redundantly.
* pre-allocate `blobify` data and remove redundant error handling
(cannot fail on correct data)
* use threadvar for temporary storage when decoding rdb, avoiding
closure env
* speed up database walkers by avoiding many temporaries
~5% perf improvement on block import, 100x on database iteration (useful
for building analysis tooling)
* 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.
* Remove redundant `eth/68` message and clean up docu
details:
There is only eth/68 available at the moment
* Allow to turn on chronicles line number logging in `Makefile`
* Accept (and forget) tx hashes announcements
why:
Does no harm to just ignore it at the moment
* Bump nim-eth (rlp fix)
* Update state network to use addressHash instead of address in contract trie and contract code content keys.
* Fix path calculation bug in getParent when working with extension nodes.
* Bump portal spec tests repo.
* Finish updating tests due to portal test vector changes.
* Update Fluffy state bridge to use addressHash.
* Update Fluffy book with correct commands for running portal hive tests.
The 3 proofs can be reworked to two proofs as we can use the
BeaconBlock directly instead of BeaconBlockHeader and
BeaconBlockBody. This is possible because the HTR of the
BeaconBlock is the same as the one of the BeaconBlockHeader.
This results in 32 bytes less as an intermediate hash can be
removed. But more importantly looks more clean and compact in
structure and code.
- EpochAccumulator got renamed to EpochRecord
- MasterAccumulator is not HistoricalHashesAccumulator
- The List size for the accumulator got a different maximum which
also result in a different encoding and HTR
It is common for many accounts to share the same code - at the database
level, code is stored by hash meaning only one copy exists per unique
program but when loaded in memory, a copy is made for each account.
Further, every time we execute the code, it must be scanned for invalid
jump destinations which slows down EVM exeuction.
Finally, the extcodesize call causes code to be loaded even if only the
size is needed.
This PR improves on all these points by introducing a shared
CodeBytesRef type whose code section is immutable and that can be shared
between accounts. Further, a dedicated `len` API call is added so that
the EXTCODESIZE opcode can operate without polluting the GC and code
cache, for cases where only the size is requested - rocksdb will in this
case cache the code itself in the row cache meaning that lookup of the
code itself remains fast when length is asked for first.
With 16k code entries, there's a 90% hit rate which goes up to 99%
during the 2.3M attack - the cache significantly lowers memory
consumption and execution time not only during this event but across the
board.
For the block cache to be shared between column families, the options
instance must be shared between the various column families being
created. This also ensures that there is only one source of truth for
configuration options instead of having two different sets depending on
how the tables were initialized.
This PR also removes the re-opening mechanism which can double startup
time - every time the database is opened, the log is replayed - a large
log file will take a long time to open.
Finally, several options got correclty implemented as column family
options, including an one that puts a hash index in the SST files.
