* 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
This significantly speeds up block import at the cost of less protection
against invalid data, potentially resulting in an invalid database
getting stored.
The risk is small given that import is used only for validated data -
evaluating the right level of of validation vs performance is left for a
future PR.
A side effect of this approach is that there is no cached stated root in
the database - computing it currently requires a lot of memory since the
intermediate roots get cached in memory in full while the computation is
ongoing - a future PR will need to address this deficiency, for example
by streaming the already-computed hashes directly to the database.
* avoid costly hike memory allocations for operations that don't need to
re-traverse it
* avoid unnecessary state checks (which might trigger unwanted state
root computations)
* disable optimize-for-hits due to the MPT no longer being complete at
all times
* Use simpler schema when writing transactions, receipts, and withdrawals
Using MPT not only slow but also take up more spaces than needed.
Aristo will remove older tries and only keep the last block tries.
Using simpler schema will avoid those problems.
* Rename getTransaction to getTransactionByIndex
* rebased from `github/on-demand-mpt`
ackn:
wip: on-demand mpt construction
Given that actual data is stored in the `Vertex` structure, it's useful
to think of the MPT as a cache for computing roots rather than being a
functional requirement on its own.
This PR engenders this line of thinking by incrementally computing the
MPT only when it's needed, ie when a state (or similar) root is needed.
This has the effect of siginficantly reducing memory usage as well as
improving performance:
* no need for dirty-mpt-node book-keeping
* no need to build complex forest of upcoming hashing work
* only hashes that are functionally needed are ever computed -
intermediate nodes whose MTP root is not observed are never computed /
processed
* Unit test hot fixes
* Unit test hot fixes cont.

* 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
* Simplify txpool baseFeeGet
- Avoid using toEVMFork because we are not in EVM
- Rename `isLondon` to `isLondonOrLater`
* Remove timestamp from isLondonOrLater
* ForkedChain implementation
- revamp test_blockchain_json using ForkedChain
- re-enable previously failing test cases.
* Remove excess error handling
* Avoid reloading parent header
* Do not force base update
* Write baggage to database
* Add findActiveChain to finalizedSegment
* Create new stagingTx in addBlock
* Check last stateRoot existence in test_blockchain_json
* Resolve rebase conflict
* More precise nomenclature for block import cursor
* Ensure bad block nor imported and good block not rejected
* finalizeSegment become forkChoice and align with engine API forkChoice spec
* Display reason when good block rejected
* Fix comments
* Put BaseDistance into CalculateNewBase equation
* Separate finalizedHash from baseHash
* Add more doAssert constraint
* Add push raises: []
When processing long ranges of blocks, the account cache grows unbounded
which cause huge memory spikes.
Here, we move the cache to a second-level cache after each block - the
second-level cache is cleared on the next block after that which creates
a simple LRU effect.
There's a small performance cost of course, though overall the freed-up
memory can now be reassigned to the rocksdb row cache which not only
makes up for the loss but overall leads to a performance increase.
The bump to 2gb of rocksdb row cache here needs more testing but is
slightly less and loosely basedy on the savings from this PR and the
circular ref fix in #2408 - another way to phrase this is that it's
better to give rocksdb more breathing room than let the memory sit
unused until circular ref collection happens ;)
This buffer eleminates a large part of allocations during MPT traversal,
reducing overall memory usage and GC pressure.
Ideally, we would use it throughout in the API instead of
`openArray[byte]` since the built-in length limit appropriately exposes
the natural 64-nibble depth constraint that `openArray` fails to
capture.
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.
* 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*`.
Broadly, when importing blocks we don't need a transaction / frame per
block because we can simply abort the whole update and try again with a
smaller range if we find a faulty block.
Of course, this applies mainly to semi-trusted blocks where we're not
expected to fail in applying them - this could be blocks either from
files or header-verified blocks as given by consensus.
When performing block import, we can batch state root verifications and
header checks, doing them only once per chunk of blocks, assuming that
the other blocks in the batch are valid by extension.
When we're not generating receipts, we can also skip per-transaction
state root computation pre-byzantium, which is what provides a ~20%
speedup in this PR, at least on those early blocks :)
We also stop storing transactions, receipts and uncles redundantly when
importing from era1 - there is no need to waste database storage on this
when we can load it from the era1 file (eventually).
State lookups potentially trigger expensive re-hashings - this is the
first of several steps to remove the unnecessary ones from the general
flow of block processing

* bump rockdb
* Rename `KVT` objects related to filters according to `Aristo` naming
details:
filter* => delta*
roFilter => balancer
* Compulsory error handling if `persistent()` fails
* Add return code to `reCentre()`
why:
Might eventually fail if re-centring is blocked. Some logic will be
added in subsequent patch sets.
* Add column families from earlier session to rocksdb in opening procedure
why:
All previously used CFs must be declared when re-opening an existing
database.
* Update `init()` and add rocksdb `reinit()` methods for changing parameters
why:
Opening a set column families (with different open options) must span
at least the ones that are already on disk.
* Provide write-trigger-event interface into `Aristo` backend
why:
This allows to save data from a guest application (think `KVT`) to
get synced with the write cycle so the guest and `Aristo` save all
atomically.
* Use `KVT` with new column family interface from `Aristo`
* Remove obsolete guest interface
* Implement `KVT` piggyback on `Aristo` backend
* CoreDb: Add separate `KVT`/`Aristo` backend mode for debugging
* Remove `rocks_db` import from `persist()` function
why:
Some systems (i.p `fluffy` and friends) use the `Aristo` memory
backend emulation and do not link against rocksdb when building the
application. So this should fix that problem.
`initTable` is obsolete since nim 0.19 and can introduce significant
memory overhead while providing no benefit (since the table will be
grown to the default initial size on first use anyway).
In particular, aristo layers will not necessarily use all tables they
initialize, for exampe when many empty accounts are being created.
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)

* Fix `blobify()` for `SavedState` object
why:

Stored `block-number - 1` for some obscure reason.
* Cosmetcs, docu
`persist` is a hotspot when processing blocks because it is run at least
once per transaction and loops over the entire account cache every time.
Here, we introduce an extra `dirty` map that keeps track of all accounts
that need checking during `persist` which fixes the immediate
inefficiency, though probably this could benefit from a more thorough
review - we also get rid of the unused clearCache flag - we start with
a fresh cache on every fresh vmState.

This PR extends the `nimbus import` command to also allow reading from

The transaction spammer from Kurtosis keeps spamming transactions with

* Aristo: Allow to define/set `FilterID` for journal filter records
why:
After some changes, the `FilterID` is isomorphic to the `BlockNumber`
scalar (well, the first 2^64 entries of a `BlockNumber`.)
The needed change for `FilterID` is that the `FilterID(0)` value is
valid part of the `FilterID` scalar. A non-valid `FilterID` entry is
represented by `none(FilterID)`.
* Aristo: Split off function `persist()` as persistent version of `stow()`
why:
In production, `stow(persistent=false,..)` is currently unused. So,
using `persist()` rather than `stow(persistent=true,..)` improves
readability and is better to maintain.
* CoreDb+Aristo: Store block numbers in journal records
why:
This makes journal records searchable by block numbers
* Aristo: Rename some journal related functions
why:
The name *journal* is more appropriate to api functions than something
with *fifo* or *filter*.
* CoreDb+Aristo: Update last/oldest journal state retrieval
* CoreDb+Aristo: Register block number with state root in journal
why:
No need anymore for extra lookup table `stRootToBlockNum` which maps
a storage root -> block number.
* Aristo: Remove unused function `getFilUbe()` from api
* CoreDb: Remove now unused virtual table `stRootToBlockNum`
why:
Was used to map a state root to a block number. This functionality
is now embedded into the recovery journal backend.
* Turn of API tracking (will fail on `fluffy`)
* Aristo: Code cosmetics, e.g. update some CamelCase names
* CoreDb+Aristo: Provide oldest known state root implied
details:
The Aristo journal allows to recover earlier but not all state roots.
* Aristo: Fix journal backward index operator, e.g. `[^1]`
* Aristo: Fix journal updater
why:
The `fifosStore()` store function slightly misinterpreted the update
instructions when translation is to database `put()` functions. The
effect was that the journal was ever growing due to stale entries which
were never deleted.
* CoreDb+Aristo: Provide utils for purging stale data from the KVT
details:
See earlier patch, not all state roots are available. This patch
provides a mapping from some state root to a block number and allows to
remove all KVT data related to a particular block number
* Aristo+Kvt: Implement a clean up schedule for expired data in KVT
why:
For a single state ledger like `Aristo`, there is only a limited
backlog of states. So KVT data (i.e. headers etc.) are cleaned up
regularly
* Fix copyright year
* Code cosmetics
* Aristo+Kvt: Fix api wrappers
why:
Api setup killed the backend descriptor when backend mapping was
disabled.
* Aristo: Implement masked profiling entries
why:
Database backend should be listed but not counted in tally
* CoreDb: Simplify backend() methods
why:
DBMS backend access Was provided very early and over engineered. Now
there are only two backend machines, one for `Kvt` and the other one
for an `Mpt` available only via new API.
* CoreDb: Code cleanup regarding descriptor types
* CoreDb: Refactor/redefine `persistent()` methods
why:
There were `persistent()` methods for any type of caching storage
facilities `Kvt`, `Mpt`, `Phk`, and `Acc`. Now there is only a single
`persistent()` method storing all facilities in tandem (similar to
how transactions work.)
For non shared `Kvt` tables, there is now an extra storage method
`saveOffSite()`.
* CoreDb lingo update: `trie` becomes `column`
why:
Notion of a `trie` is pretty much hidden by the new `CoreDb` api.
Revealed are sort of database columns for accounts an storage data,
any of which have an internal state represented by a Keccack hash.
So a `trie` or `MPT` becomes a `column` and a `rootHash` becomes a
column state.
* Aristo: rename backend filed `filters` => `journal`
* Update full sync logging
details:
+ Disable eth handler noise while syncing
+ Log journal depth (if available)
* Fix copyright year
* Fix cruft and unwanted imports
* Remove cruft
* Docu/code cosmetics
* Aristo: Update `forkBase()`
why:
Was not up to the job
* Update/correct tracer for running against `Aristo`
details:
This patch makes sure that before creating a new `BaseVMState` the
`CoreDb` context is adjusted to accommodate for the state root that
is passed to the `BaseVMState` constructor.
* CpreDb+legacy: Always return current context with `ctxFromTx()`
why:
There was an experimental setting trying to find the node with the
proper setting in the KVT (not the hexary tie layer) which currently
does not work reliable, probably due to `Ledger` caching effects.
* Aristo: Provide descriptor fork based on search in transaction stack
details:
Try to find the tx that has a particular pair `(vertex-id,hash-key)`,
and by extension try filter and backend if the former fails.
* Cleanup & docu
* CoreDb+Aristo: Implement context re-position to earlier in-memory state
why:
It is a easy way to explore how there can be concurrent access to the
same backend storage DB with different view states. This one can access
an earlier state from the transaction stack.
* CoreDb+Aristo: Populate tracer stubs with real functionality
* Update `tracer.nim` to new API
why:
Legacy API does not sufficiently support `Aristo`
* Fix logging problems in tracer
details:
Debug logging turned off by default
* Fix function prototypes
* Add Copyright header
* Add tables import
why:
For older compiler versions on CI
* Aristo+Kvt: Fix backend `dup()` function in api setup
why:
Backend object is subject to an inheritance cascade which was not
taken care of, before. Only the base object was duplicated.
* Kvt: Simplify DB clone/peers management
* Aristo: Simplify DB clone/peers management
* Aristo: Adjust unit test for working with memory DB only
why:
This currently causes some memory corruption persumably in the
`libc` background layer.
* CoredDb+Kvt: Simplify API for KVT
why:
Simplified storage models (was over engineered) for better performance
and code maintenance.
* CoredDb+Aristo: Simplify API for `Aristo`
why:
Only single database state needed here. Accessing a similar state will
be implemented from outside this module using a context layer. This
gives better performance and improves code maintenance.
* Fix Copyright headers
* CoreDb: Turn off API tracking
why:
CI would ot go through. Was accidentally turned on.
* Added procs to get and store block witness in db and add generate-witness cli flag.
* Completed initial implementation of block witness storage.
* Added test to verify witness is persisted to db after call to persistBlock.

* Make generate witness parameter hidden.
* Completed draft implementation of witness JSON-RPC endpoints for portal network bridge.
* Updated Nimbus RPC configuration to support enabling experimental endpoints.
* Moved witness verification tests.
* Added json test for getProof.

* Added getBlockWitness test to blockchain json test suite.
* Added tests for experimental RPC endpoints and improved the API to support returning state proofs from before or after block execution.
* Correctly rollback transaction in getBlockWitness proc.
* Activate `LedgerRef` wrapper for `AccountsCache`
details:
`accounts_cache.nim` methods are indirectly processed by the wrapper
methods from `ledger.nim`.
This works for all sources except `test_state_db.nim` where the source
`accounts_cache.nim` is included (rather than imported) in order to
access objects privy to the very source.
* Provide facility to switch to a preselected `LedgerRef` type
details:
Can be set as suggestion when initialising `CommonRef`
* Update `CoreDb` test suite for better time tracking
details:
+ Allow time logging by pre-defined block intervals
+ Print `CoreDb`/`Ledger`profiling results (if enabled)
* Explicitly use shared `Kvt` table on `Ledger` and `Clique` lookup.
why:
Speeds up lookup time with `Aristo` backend. For writing `Clique` data,
the `Companion` model allows to write `Clique` data past the database
locked by evm transactions.
* Implement `CoreDb` profiling with API tracking
why:
Chasing time spent per APT procs ...
* Implement `Ledger` profiling with API tracking
why:
Chasing time spent per APT procs ...
* Always hashify when commiting or storing
why:
A dirty cache makes no sense when committing
* Make sure that a zero key is created when adding/updating vertices
why:
This is an error fix mainly for edge cases. A typical error was
that the root key got deleted when there were only a few vertices
left on the DB.
* Need all created and changed vertices zero-keyed on the cache
why:
A zero key (i.e. empty Merkle hash) indicates that a vertex key
needs to be updated. This would not be needed immediately after
a merge as there is an actual leaf path on the cache layer. But
after subsequent merge and delete operations this information
might get blurred.
* Re-org hashing algorithm
why:
Apart from errors, the previous implementation was too slow for
two reasons:
+ some control hashes were calculated for debugging (now all
verification is done in `aristo_check` module)
+ the leaf paths stored on the cache are used to build the
labelling (aka hashing) schedule; there paths were accumulated
over successive hash sessions although it is clear that all
keys were generated, already
* Kvt: Implemented multi-descriptor access on the same backend
why:
This behaviour mirrors the one of Aristo and can be used for
simultaneous transactions on Aristo + Kvt
* Kvt: Update database iterators
why:
Forgot to run on the top layer first
* Kvt: Misc fixes
* Aristo, use `openArray[byte]` rather than `Blob` in prototype
* Aristo, by default hashify right after cloning descriptor
why:
Typically, a completed descriptor is expected after cloning. Hashing
can be suppressed by argument flag.
* Aristo provides `replicate()` iterator, similar to legacy `replicate()`
* Aristo API fixes and updates
* CoreDB: Rename `legacy_persistent` => `legacy_rocksdb`
why:
More systematic, will be in line with Aristo DB which might have
more than one persistent backends
* CoreDB: Prettify API sources
why:
Better to read and maintain
details:
Annotating with custom pragmas which cleans up the prototypes
* CoreDB: Update MPT/put() prototype allowing `CatchableError`
why:
Will be needed for Aristo API (legacy is OK with `RlpError`)
