In block processing, depending on the complexity of a transaction and
hotness of caches etc, signature checking can actually make up the
majority of time needed to process a transaction (60% observed in some
randomly sampled block ranges).
Fortunately, this is a task that trivially can be offloaded to a task
pool similar to how nimbus-eth2 does it.
This PR introduces taskpools in the most simple way possible, by
performing signature checking concurrently with other TX processing,
assigning a taskpool task per TX effectively.
With this little trick, we're in gigagas land 🎉 on my laptop!

INF 2024-12-10 21:05:35.170+01:00 Imported blocks

```
Tests don't use the taskpool for now because it needs manual cleanup and
we don't have a good mechanism in place. Future PR:s should address this
by creating a common shutdown sequence that also closes and cleans up
other resources like the DB.

* Enable test_txpool by disabling failing cases
Because we cannot use goerli replay to feed the txpool anymore,
we use only a list of transactions.
But some test cases still failing because it requires block state
replay.
* Fix tx info
This PR extends the `nimbus import` command to also allow reading from
era files - this command allows creating or topping up an existing
database with data coming from era files instead of network sync.
* add `--era1-dir` and `--max-blocks` options to command line
* make `persistBlocks` report basic stats like transactions and gas
* improve error reporting in several API
* allow importing multiple RLP files in one go
* clean up logging options to match nimbus-eth2
* make sure database is closed properly on shutdown
* Introduce wrapper type for EIP-4844 transactions
EIP-4844 blob sidecars are a concept that only exists in the mempool.
After inclusion of a transaction into an execution block, only the
versioned hash within the transaction remains. To improve type safety,
replace the `Transaction.networkPayload` member with a wrapper type
`PooledTransaction` that is used in contexts where blob sidecars exist.
* Bump nimbus-eth2 to 87605d08a7f9cfc3b223bd32143e93a6cdf351ac
* IPv6 'listen-address' in `nimbus_verified_proxy`
* Bump nim-libp2p to 21cbe3a91a70811522554e89e6a791172cebfef2
* Fix beacon_lc_bridge payload conversion and conf.listenAddress type
* Change nimbus_verified_proxy.asExecutionData param to SomeExecutionPayload
* Rerun nph to fix asExecutionData style format
* nimbus_verified_proxy listenAddress
* Use PooledTransaction in nimbus-eth1 tests

* Disable `TransactionID` related functions from `state_db.nim`
why:
Functions `getCommittedStorage()` and `updateOriginalRoot()` from
the `state_db` module are nowhere used. The emulation of a legacy
`TransactionID` type functionality is administratively expensive to
provide by `Aristo` (the legacy DB version is only partially
implemented, anyway).
As there is no other place where `TransactionID`s are used, they will
not be provided by the `Aristo` variant of the `CoreDb`. For the
legacy DB API, nothing will change.
* Fix copyright headers in source code
* Get rid of compiler warning
* Update Aristo code, remove unused `merge()` variant, export `hashify()`
why:
Adapt to upcoming `CoreDb` wrapper
* Remove synced tx feature from `Aristo`
why:
+ This feature allowed to synchronise transaction methods like begin,
commit, and rollback for a group of descriptors.
+ The feature is over engineered and not needed for `CoreDb`, neither
is it complete (some convergence features missing.)
* Add debugging helpers to `Kvt`
also:
Update database iterator, add count variable yield argument similar
to `Aristo`.
* Provide optional destructors for `CoreDb` API
why;
For the upcoming Aristo wrapper, this allows to control when certain
smart destruction and update can take place. The auto destructor works
fine in general when the storage/cache strategy is known and acceptable
when creating descriptors.
* Add update option for `CoreDb` API function `hash()`
why;
The hash function is typically used to get the state root of the MPT.
Due to lazy hashing, this might be not available on the `Aristo` DB.
So the `update` function asks for re-hashing the gurrent state changes
if needed.
* Update API tracking log mode: `info` => `debug
* Use shared `Kvt` descriptor in new Ledger API
why:
No need to create a new descriptor all the time
* Nimbus folder environment update
details:
* Integrated `CoreDbRef` for the sources in the `nimbus` sub-folder.
* The `nimbus` program does not compile yet as it needs the updates
in the parallel `stateless` sub-folder.
* Stateless environment update
details:
* Integrated `CoreDbRef` for the sources in the `stateless` sub-folder.
* The `nimbus` program compiles now.
* Premix environment update
details:
* Integrated `CoreDbRef` for the sources in the `premix` sub-folder.
* Fluffy environment update
details:
* Integrated `CoreDbRef` for the sources in the `fluffy` sub-folder.
* Tools environment update
details:
* Integrated `CoreDbRef` for the sources in the `tools` sub-folder.
* Nodocker environment update
details:
* Integrated `CoreDbRef` for the sources in the
`hive_integration/nodocker` sub-folder.
* Tests environment update
details:
* Integrated `CoreDbRef` for the sources in the `tests` sub-folder.
* The unit tests compile and run cleanly now.
* Generalise `CoreDbRef` to any `select_backend` supported database
why:
Generalisation was just missed due to overcoming some compiler oddity
which was tied to rocksdb for testing.
* Suppress compiler warning for `newChainDB()`
why:
Warning was added to this function which must be wrapped so that
any `CatchableError` is re-raised as `Defect`.
* Split off persistent `CoreDbRef` constructor into separate file
why:
This allows to compile a memory only database version without linking
the backend library.
* Use memory `CoreDbRef` database by default
detail:
Persistent DB constructor needs to import `db/core_db/persistent
why:
Most tests use memory DB anyway. This avoids linking `-lrocksdb` or
any other backend by default.
* fix `toLegacyBackend()` availability check
why:
got garbled after memory/persistent split.
* Clarify raw access to MPT for snap sync handler
why:
Logically, `kvt` is not the raw access for the hexary trie (although
this holds for the legacy database)
* Extract RocksDB timing tests from snap unit tests as separate module
why:
Declutter, make space for more snap related unit tests.
* Renamed `undumpNextGroup()` => `undumpBlocks()`
why:
Source file name is called `undump_blocks.nim` which should be sort
of in sync with the method name(s).
* Implement snap/1 server method `getByteCodes()`
* Implement snap/1 client method `getByteCodes()`
* Implement faculty for handling contract code fetching via snap/1
* Provide persistent storage for contract code records
* Implement contract code snap sync fetch & store
* Code massage, cosmetics
* Unit tests for verifying snap sync snapshot dump
details:
Use `undump_kvp.dumpAllDb()` to dump any database.
* 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.
