* 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
* Added inspect module
why:
Find dangling references for trie healing support.
details:
+ This patch set provides only the inspect module and some unit tests.
+ There are also extensive unit tests which need bulk data from the
`nimbus-eth1-blob` module.
* Alternative pivot finder
why:
Attempt to be faster on start up. Also tying to decouple pivot finder
somehow by providing different mechanisms (this one runs in `single`
mode.)
* Use inspect module for healing
details:
+ After some progress with account and storage data, the inspect facility
is used to find dangling links in the database to be filled nose-wise.
+ This is a crude attempt to cobble together functional elements. The
set up needs to be honed.
* fix scheduler to avoid starting dead peers
why:
Some peers drop out while in `sleepAsync()`. So extra `if` clauses
make sure that this event is detected early.
* Bug fixes causing crashes
details:
+ prettify.toPC():
int/intToStr() numeric range over/underflow
+ hexary_inspect.hexaryInspectPath():
take care of half initialised step with branch but missing index into
branch array
* improve handling of dropped peers in alternaive pivot finder
why:
Strange things may happen while querying data from the network.
Additional checks make sure that the state of other peers is updated
immediately.
* Update trace messages
* reorganise snap fetch & store schedule
* Re-implemented `hexaryFollow()` in a more general fashion
details:
+ New name for re-implemented `hexaryFollow()` is `hexaryPath()`
+ Renamed `rTreeFollow()` as `hexaryPath()`
why:
Returning similarly organised structures, the results of the
`hexaryPath()` functions become comparable when running over
the persistent and the in-memory databases.
* Added traversal functionality for persistent ChainDB
* Using `Account` values as re-packed Blob
* Repack samples as compressed data files
* Produce test data
details:
+ Can force pivot state root switch after minimal coverage.
+ For emulating certain network behaviour, downloading accounts stops for
a particular pivot state root if 30% (some static number) coverage is
reached. Following accounts are downloaded for a later pivot state root.
* Bump nim-stew
why:
Need fixed interval set
* Keep track of accumulated account ranges over all state roots
* Added comments and explanations to unit tests
* typo
* Extracted functionality into sub-modules for maintainability
* Setting SST bulk load as default in `accounts_db`
details:
+ currently, the same data are stored via rocksdb if available, and
the same via embedded `storage_type` with (non-standard) prefix 200
for time comparisons
+ fallback to normal `put()` unless rocksdb is accessible
* 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
* Added sepolia specs
* temporarily avoid latest `master` branch from `nim-eth1`
why:
Currently does not cleanly compile after the `bearssl` split api update.
* Relocated `IntervalSets` to nim-stew repo
* Accumulate accounts on temporary kv-DB
why:
Explore the data as returned from snap/1. Will be converted to a
`eth/db` next.
details:
Verify and accumulate per/state-root accounts downloaded via snap.
also:
Some unit tests
* Replace `Table` by `TrieDatabaseRef` for accounts accumulator
* update ticker statistics
details:
mean/variance based counter update
* allow persistent db for proved accounts
* rebase, and globally activate unit test
* fix statistics
* Using `IntervalSet` type data for `LeafRange`
* Updated log ticker
* Update to `eth67`
details:
Disabled by default, use `ENABLE_LEGACY_ETH66=0` to enable
No support for `Get/NodeData` dialogue via eth, anymore
* Dissolved fetch/common.nim
details;
the log/ticker part becomes ticker.nim
the interval range management is merged into fetch.nim
* Updated account scheduler
why:
The previous scheduler fetched each account once (for different state
roots.) The updated scheduler re-calibrates after a change of the state
root and potentially (until told otherwise) fetches all possible
accounts.
* Fix `high(P)` fringe cases in `IntervalSet` handling
why:
The `high(P)` value for a point type `P` cannot be represented with
half open intervals `[a,b)` for a,b points of `P`. So this single value
needs extra treatment which was slightly wrong.
* Updated docu/comments
also:
rebased
* Update scheduler
details:
Change the `pivot` management when creating new accounts lists. It is
strictly increasing (and wrapping around) depending on last updated
accounts list.
* Fix/recover download flag
why:
The fetch indicator used to control the data download somehow got
lost during re-org.
* Updated chronicles/logger topics
* Reorganised run state flags
why:
The original code used a pair of boolean flags `(stopped,stopThisState)`
which was translated to three states running, stoppedPending, and
stopped. It is currently not clear whether collapsing some states was
correct. So the original logic has been re-stored, albeit wrapped into
directives like `isStopped()` etc.
also:
Moving some function bodies in `worker.nim`
* Moved `reply_data.nim` and `validate_trienode.nim` to sub-directory `fetch_trie`
why:
Only used in `fetch_trie.nim`.
* Move `fetch_*` file and directory objects to `fetch` subdirectory
why:
Only used in `fetch.nim`
* Added start/stop and/or setup/release methods for all sub-modules
why:
good housekeeping
also:
updated getters/setters for ctrl states
updated trace messages
if we are not voting, coinbase should be filled with zero
because other subsystem e.g txpool can produce block header
with non zero coinbase. if that coinbase is one of the signer
and the nonce is zero, that signer will be vote out from
signer list
* Disentangle `collect` module from `reply_data`
why:
Now the module visible from `collect` for fetching data is `peer/fetch`
only.
* Merge `SnapPeerHunt` into `collect`
why:
This part needs to be known by `collect`, only
* rename collect => worker
* Dissolve `sync_fetch_xdesc` module into `common`
why:
Descriptor is only used in `common` and `fetch_trie`
* rename `snap/peer` directory => `snap/worker`
* rename `SnapSync` -> `Worker`, `SnapPeer` -> `WorkerBuddy`
* moved `snap/base_desc.nim` -> `snap/worker/worker_desc.nim`
* Unified opaque object ref naming in `worker_desc.nim`
details:
indicated my inheriting module (exactly one, always)
* 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.)
* new: time_helper, types
* new: path_desc
* new: base_desc
* Re-organised objects inheritance
why:
Previous code used macros to instantiate opaque object references. This
has been re-implemented with OO inheritance based logic.
* Normalised trace macros
* Using distinct types for Hash256 aliases
why:
Better control of the meaning of the hashes, all or the same format
caveat:
The protocol handler DSL used by eth66.nim and snap1.nim uses the
underlying type Hash256 and cannot handle the distinct alias in
rlp and chronicles/log macros. So Hash256 is used directly (does
not change readability as the type is clear by parameter names.)
* 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
* Update exception tracinig
* Use lazy JSON parser
why:
Uint246 type is not directly supported by the JSON serializer
* Json parser update for stringified UInt256 integers
why:
Now available
* update sub-module branch reference
- 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.
if engine api receive forkChoiceUpdated and turn out
reorg happened, sealing engine must update txpool
head.
so in the next iteration when the txpool asked to
produce a fresh block, it will produce it in the
current 'correct' chain and abandon side chain.
* Prepare unit tests for running without tx-pool job queue
why:
Most of the job queue logic can be emulated. This adapts to a few
pathological test cases.
* Replace tx-pool job queue logic with in-place actions
why:
This additional execution layer is not needed, anymore which has been
learned from working with the integration/hive tests.
details:
Execution of add or deletion jobs are executed in-place. Some actions
-- as in smartHead() -- have been combined for facilitating the correct
order actions
* Update production functions, remove txpool legacy stuff
* 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
result.gasPrice = baseFee + min(result.maxPriorityFee, result.maxFee - baseFee)
cannot be simplified into
result.gasPrice = min(result.maxPriorityFee + baseFee, result.maxFee)
the expression is not commutative
why:
Causes havoc in most bit fringe cases.
details:
When setting the head forward, the delta was wrongly registered from
the static "left" end (which limits the loop) rather than the moving
"right" end.
* Fix database sort order for local txs
why:
For convenience, packed txs were stored in the block sorted by
rank->nonce. Using local accounts, the greedy grabber uses the sort
order (local,non-local)->rank->nonce which leads to a wrong calculation
of the txRoot.
* Housekeeping
details:
Replaced a couple of local eip1559TxNormalization() functions by a
single public
* Support for local accounts
why:
Accounts tagged local will be packed with priority over untagged
accounts
* Added functions for queuing txs and simultaneously setting account locality
why:
Might be a popular task, in particular for unconditionally adding txs to
a local (aka prioritised account) via "xp.addLocal(tx,true)"
caveat:
Untested yet
* fix typo
* backup
* No baseFee for pre-London tx in verifier
why:
The packer would wrongly discard valid legacy txs.
* Remove unused import of config to avoid select_backend db import
- Importing nimbus-eth1 config.nim causes import of select_backend
which will default cause an import of kvstore_rocksdb and thus a
require rocksdb. Remove unused one to avoid rocksdb dependency
for Fluffy.
- Remove some whitespace in bridge_client (to make fluffy CI
trigger for sure).
* Use specific cache keys for fluffy CI workflow
* Disable Fluffy CI reproducibility test
* Enable optional chunked RLPx messages
why:
Legacy feature used by Nethermind
details:
Disable with make flag: ENABLE_CHUNKED_RLPX=0
* Rebase & bump nim-eth
* Fix default behaviour
why:
Got lost somehow. Comments do not match GNU make code directives.
* De-noisify some Clique logging
why:
Too annoying when syncing against Goerly
* Replay devnet# and kiln sessions
why:
Compiled as local program, the unit test was used for TDD.
* 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
