* 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
* Activate wire protocol eth/66
and:
Disentangle protocol_eth66.nim from import sections
why:
Importing the protocol_eth66 module is not necessary. There is
no need to know too many details of the underlying wire protocol. All
that is needed will be exported by blockchain_sync.nim.

* Fixes and rebase
Co-authored-by: Kim De Mey <kim.demey@gmail.com>
why:
Testing against a replay unit test for Devnet4 made it necessary to
adjust the TTD handling. Without updated, importing fails at block #5646
which is the parent of the terminal PoW block. Similar considerations
apply for Devnet5 and Kiln.

- timestamp = payloadAttrs.timestamp
- coinbase = payloadAttrs.suggestedFeeRecipient
- extraData = it can be anything 0-32 bytes, but currently set to empty bytes.
* Rearrange/rename test_kintsugu => test_custom_network
why:
Debug, fix and test more general problems related to running
nimbus on a custom network.
* Update UInt265/Json parser for --custom-network command line option
why:
As found out with the Kintsugi configuration, block number and balance
have the same Nim type which led to misunderstandings. This patch makes
sure that UInt265 encoded string values "0x11" decodes to 17, and "b"
and "11" to 11.
* Refactored genesis.toBlock() => genesis.toBlockHeader()
why:
The function toBlock(g,db) may return different results depending on
whether the db descriptor argument is nil, or initialised. This is due
to the db.config data sub-descriptor which may give various outcomes
for the baseFee field of the genesis header.
Also, the version where db is non-nil initialised is used internally
only. So the public rewrite toBlockHeader() that replaces the toBlock()
function expects a full set of NetworkParams.
* update comments
* Rename toBlockHeader() => toGenesisHeader()
why:
Polymorphic prototype used for BaseChainDB or NetworkParams argument.
With a BaseChainDB descriptor argument, the name shall imply that the
header is generated from the config fields rather than fetched from
the database.
* Added command line option --static-peers-file
why:
Handy feature to keep peer nodes in a file, similar to the
--bootstrap-file option.
Any transaction where tx.sender has a CODEHASH != EMPTYCODEHASH MUST
be rejected as invalid, where EMPTYCODEHASH =
0xc5d2460186f7233c927e7db2dcc703c0e500b653ca82273b7bfad8045d85a470.
The invalid transaction MUST be rejected by the client and not be included
in a block. A block containing such a transaction MUST be considered invalid.
because EIP-4399 override mixDigest validation rule,
there is no need to check mixDigest == ZERO_HASH
`mixDigest` will carry POS block randomness value
* Kludge needed for setting up custom network
why:
Some non-features in the persistent hexary trie DB produce an assert
error when initiating the Kinsugi network.
details:
This fix should be temporary, only.
* Fix OS detection
why:
directive detectOs() bails out on Windows if checking for Ubuntu
Includes a simple test harness for the merge interop M1 milestone
This aims to enable connecting nimbus-eth2 to nimbus-eth1 within
the testing protocol described here:
https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2/blob/amphora-merge-interop/docs/interop_merge.md
To execute the work-in-progress test, please run:
In terminal 1:
tests/amphora/launch-nimbus.sh
In terminal 2:
tests/amphora/check-merge-test-vectors.sh
details:
For documentation, see comments in the file tx_pool.nim.
For prettified manual pages run 'make docs' in the nimbus directory and
point your web browser to the newly created 'docs' directory.
why:
Some helper file will not be generated by the nim document gereator,
so they have been stashed from a later nim version to be provided when
missing.
This problem was known with an earlier nim version (see here
https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/8952) but was reported solved.
Maybe we need a second look into that.
why:
Previously, the function 'snapshot_desc.loadSnapshot()' contained the
equivalent of 'eth.decode(@[],SnapshotData)' for some type 'SnapshotData'
which should result in an exception of type 'RlpTypeMismatch'.
Before mid October, this worked for all systems on the Github CI. Since
then, a segfault message in the Github CI can be reproduced on all 64bit
Windows wuns when running 'build/all_tests <id-of-test_txpool>' after the
failed 'make test' directive (the latter one needs to be extended by
'|| true'.) This error cannot be reproduced on my local Win7/64 system
with the same MSYS2 and gcc 11.2.0 compiler.
The fix is, rather than catching an exception, to explicitly check the
first argument of 'eth.decode(@[],SnapshotData)' and act if it is empty.
also:
removed some obsolete {.inline.} annotations.
why:
Previous version was based on lru_cache which is ugly. This module is
based on the stew/keyed_queue library module.
other:
There are still some other modules rely on lru_cache which should be
removed.
* Redesign of BaseVMState descriptor
why:
BaseVMState provides an environment for executing transactions. The
current descriptor also provides data that cannot generally be known
within the execution environment, e.g. the total gasUsed which is
available not before after all transactions have finished.
Also, the BaseVMState constructor has been replaced by a constructor
that does not need pre-initialised input of the account database.
also:
Previous constructor and some fields are provided with a deprecated
annotation (producing a lot of noise.)
* Replace legacy directives in production sources
* Replace legacy directives in unit test sources
* fix CI (missing premix update)
* Remove legacy directives
* chase CI problem
* rebased
* Re-introduce 'AccountsCache' constructor optimisation for 'BaseVmState' re-initialisation
why:
Constructing a new 'AccountsCache' descriptor can be avoided sometimes
when the current state root is properly positioned already. Such a
feature existed already as the update function 'initStateDB()' for the
'BaseChanDB' where the accounts cache was linked into this desctiptor.
The function 'initStateDB()' was removed and re-implemented into the
'BaseVmState' constructor without optimisation. The old version was of
restricted use as a wrong accounts cache state would unconditionally
throw an exception rather than conceptually ask for a remedy.
The optimised 'BaseVmState' re-initialisation has been implemented for
the 'persistBlocks()' function.
also:
moved some test helpers to 'test/replay' folder
* Remove unused & undocumented fields from Chain descriptor
why:
Reduces attack surface in general & improves reading the code.
details:
1. The check for cumulativeGasUsed + tx.gasLimit <= header.gasLimit
makes neither sense nor is it part of the Eip1559 specs. Nevertheless
a check tx.gasLimit <= header.gasLimit is added to satisfy some
unit test (see comments in validateTransaction() body.)
2. As a replacement check for the one removed in 1, a check for
cumulativeGasUsed + gasBurned <= header.gasLimit has been added
(see comments in processTransactionImpl() body.)
3. Prototypes for processTransaction() variants have been cleaned up and
commented.
why:
Detail 1. in particular produces an error for tightly packed blocks when
the last tx in the list has a generous gasLimit.
- Remove the `--evm` option on non-EVMC builds.
`when` around an option doesn't work with confutils; it fails to compile.
Workaround that by setting the `ignore` pragma on EVMC-specific options.
(Thanks @jangko for that new pragma). I prefer this to a solution which
moves the whole option's pragma elsewhere, especially if we add more options.
- Improve the help text, so that it shows the standard library extension on
each target platform (or none if on another platform).
- Undo b3f21bf4 "add missing evmc_enabled conditional compilation in
evmc_dynamic_loader". Move the conditional to `nimbus.nim`, and take more
care there to only use the loader function in EVMC builds.
It's ok to just not include this EVMC-only module (like some other EVMC
modules), rather than making the module itself a bit broken: Without this
change, it references a function that's not imported or linked to, and it
only links because there is no call sequence reaching that function.

- `network` and `discovery` got additional longDesc,
the help text now become more descriptive.
- `networkId` and `networkParams` now is ignored by confutils
and become ordinary fields of NimbusConf.
This fixes#867 "EIP-170 related consensus error at Goerli block 5080941", and
equivalent on other networks.
This combines a change on the EVM-caller side with an EVM-side change from
@jangko 6548ff98 "fixes CREATE/CREATE2's `returndata` bug", making the caller
EVM ignore any data except from `REVERT`.
Either change works by itself. The reason for both is to ensure we definitely
comply with ambiguous EVMC expectations from either side of that boundary, and
it makes the internal API clearer.
As well as fixing a specific consensus issue, there are some other EVM logic
changes too: Refactored `writeContract`, how `RETURNDATA` is handled inside the
EVM, and changed behaviour with quirks before EIP-2 (Homestead).
The fix allows sync to pass block 5080941 on Goerli, and probably equivalent on
other networks. Here's a trace at batch 5080897..5081088:
```

```
Although it says "Contract code size" and "gasUsed", this bug is more general
than either contract size or gas. It's due to incorrect behaviour of EVM
instructions `RETURNDATA` and `RETURNDATASIZE`.
Sometimes when `writeContract` decides to reject writing the contract for any
of several reasons (for example just insufficient gas), the unwritten contract
code was being used as the "return data", and given to the caller. If the
caller used `RETURNDATA` or `RETURNDATASIZE` ops, those incorrectly reported
the contract code that didn't get written.
EIP-211 (https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-211) describes `RETURNDATA`:
> "`CREATE` and `CREATE2` are considered to return the empty buffer in the
> success case and the failure data in the failure case".
The language is ambiguous. In fact "failure case" means when the contract uses
`REVERT` to finish. It doesn't mean other failures like out of gas, EIP-170
limit, EIP-3541, etc.
To be thorough, and to ensure we always do the right thing with real EVMC when
that's finalised, this patch fixes the `RETURNDATA` issue in two places, either
of which make Goerli block 5080941 pass.
`writeContract` has been refactored to be caller, and so has where it's called.
It sets an error in the usual way if contract writing is rejected -- that's
anticipating EVMC, where we'll use different error codes later.
Overall four behaviour changes:
1. On the callee side, it doesn't set `c.outputData` except for `REVERT`.
2. On the caller side, it doesn't read `child.outputData` except for `REVERT`.
3. There was a bug in processing before Homestead fork (EIP-2). We did not
match the spec or other implementations; now we do. When there's
insufficient gas, before Homestead it's treated as success but with an empty
contract.

This patch adds:
- Load and use a third-party EVM in a shared library, instead of Nimbus EVM.
- New option `--evm` to specify which library to load.
- The library and this loader conforms to the [EVMC]
(https://evmc.ethereum.org/) 9.x specification.
Any third-party EVM which is compatible with EVMC version 9.x and supports EVM1
contract code will be accepted. The operating system's shared library format
applies. These are `.so*` files on Linux, `.dll` files on Windows and `.dylib`
files on Mac.
The alternative EVM can be selected in two ways:
- Nimbus command line option `--evm:<path>`.
- Environment variable `NIMBUS_EVM=<path>`.
The reason for an environment variable is this allows all the test programs to
run with a third-party EVM as well. Some don't parse command line options.
There are some limitations to be aware of:
- The third-party EVM must use EVMC version 9.x, no other major version.
EVMC 9.x supports EIP-1559 / London fork and older transactions.
- Nested `*CALL` and `CREATE*` operations don't use the third-party EVM yet.
These call the built-in Nimbus EVM. This mixing of different EVMs between
levels is explicitly allowed in specs, so there is no problem doing it.
- The third-party EVM doesn't need to support precompiles, because those are
nested calls, which use the built-in Nimbus EVM.
- Third-party EVMs execute contracts correctly, but fail the final `rootHash`
match. The reason is that some account state changes, which are correct, are
currently inside the Nimbus EVM and need to be moved to EVMC host logic.
*This is a known work in progress*. The EVM execution itself is fine.
Test results using "evmone" third-party EVM:
- [evmone](https://github.com/ethereum/evmone) has been tested. Only on
Linux but it "should" work on Windows and Mac equally well.
- [Version 0.8.1](https://github.com/ethereum/evmone/releases/tag/v0.8.1) was
used because it is compatible with EVMC 9.x, which is required for the
EIP-1559 / London fork, which Nimbus supports. Version 0.8.0 could be used
but it looks like an important bug was fixed in 0.8.1.
- evmone runs fine and the trace output looks good. The calls and arguments
are the same as the built-in Nimbus EVM for tests that have been checked
manually, except evmone skips some calls that can be safely skipped.
- The final `rootHash` is incorrect, due to the *work in progress* mentioned
above which is not part of the evmone execution. Due to this, it's possible
to try evmone and verify expected behaviours, which also validates our own
EVMC implementation, but it can't be used as a full substitute yet.

This missing part of EVMC processing allows third-party EVMs to work.
It fixes EVMC result processing (at the top-level of calls, not nested calls)
to use the EVMC result object, instead of reading so much internal state of the
Nimbus `Computation` object.
It has been tested by calling [`evmone`](https://github.com/ethereum/evmone)
and getting useful results with tracing enabled (`showTxCalls = true`). It's
even able to run parts of the fixtures test suite.
There are other issues with account balances, etc that need to be worked on to
get the correct _final_ results, but the EVM execution is correct with this.

Perform byte-endian conversion for 256-bit numeric values, but not 256-bit
hashes. These conversions are necessary for EVMC binary compatibility.
In new EVMC, all host-side conversions are explicit, calling `flip256`.
These conversions are performed in the EVMC "glue" code, which deals with the
binary interface, so the host services aren't aware of conversions.
We intend to skip these conversions when Nimbus host calls Nimbus EVM, even
when it's a shared library, using a negotiated EVMC extension. But for now
we're focused on correctness and cross-validation with third party EVMs.
The overhead of endian conversion is not too high because most EVMC host calls
access the database anyway. `getTxContext` does not, so the conversions from
that are cached here. Also, well-optimised EVMs don't call it often.
It is arguable whether endian conversion should occur for storage slots (`key`).
In favour of no conversion: Slot keys are 32-byte blobs, and this is clear in
the EVMC definition where slot keys are `evmc_bytes32` (not `evmc_uint256be`),
meaning treating as a number is _not_ expected by EVMC. Although they are
often small numbers, sometimes they are a hash from the contract code plus a
number. Slot keys are hashed on the host side with Keccak256 before any
database calls, so the host side does not look at them numerically.
In favour of conversion: They are often small numbers and it is helpful to log
them as such, rather than a long string of zero digits with 1-2 non-zero. The
representation in JSON has leading zeros removed, like a number rather than a
32-byte blob. There is also an interesting space optimisation when the keys
are used unhashed in storage.
Nimbus currently treats slot keys on the host side as numbers, and the tests
pass when endian conversion is done. So to remain consistent with other parts
of Nimbus we convert slot keys.

Add the new [Arrow Glacier fork](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-4345).
Only the difficulty calculation is changed, but as a new fork it still affects
a number of places in the code.
To the best of my knowledge the change is only scheduled on Mainnet.
In addition:
- The fork date comments in `chain_config.nim` have been checked against the
real networks, set consistently in UTC instead of random timezones, and made
neater. Maybe we'll keep these when transferring config to a file someday.
- It's added to forkid hash tests (EIP-2124/EIP-2364), of course.

* PoW wrapper for verification & mining
why:
It eases data management of per-Epoch lookup tables. Also some unit
tests show limits of usefulness on non-specialised machines for
mining besides developing tests.
details:
For PoW verification, this patch provides a pretty wrapper hiding the
details of the ethash/Hashimoto lookup cache management.
For mining on my development system without special hardware, the
underlying ethash functions are prohibitively slow. It takes
* ~20 minutes to prepare the full ethash/Hashimoto lookup dataset
* a second to run ~25k nonce tests (in the mining loop)
The mining part might be of some use for generating test data for
the tx-pool, though.
* Using PowRef as replacement for EpochHashCache + hashimotoLight()
* Fix typo (CI failed)
why:
was below log level when testing locally
* fix canonical naming
detected when running hive consensus simulator.
when processing an invalid block header and then
a new valid block header with the same block number,
the state root of the stateDB object should be updated
or reverted to parent stateRoot.
using intermediate stateRoot will trigger the hexary trie assertion.
previously, every time the VMState was created, it will also create
new stateDB, and this action will nullify the advantages of cached accounts.
the new changes will conserve the accounts cache if the executed blocks

Fixes#868 "Gas usage consensus error at Mainnet block 6001128", and equivalent
on other networks. Mainnet sync is able to continue past 6001128 after this.
Here's a trace:

Similar output is seen at many blocks in the range 6001128..6001204.
The bug is when handling a combination of `CREATE` or `CREATE2`, along with
`SELFDESTRUCT` applied to the new contract address.
Init code for a contract can't return non-empty code and do `SELFDESTRUCT` at
the same time, because `SELFDESTRUCT` returns empty data.
But it is possible to return non-empty code in a newly created, self-destructed
account if the init code calls `DELEGATECALL` or `CALLCODE` to other code which
uses `SELFDESTRUCT`.
In this case we must still charge gas and write the code. This shows on
Mainnet blocks 6001128..6001204, where the gas difference matters. The code
must be written because the new code can be called later in the transaction
too, before self-destruction wipes the account at the end.
There are actually three semantic changes here for a self-destructed, new
contract:
- Gas is charged.
- The code is written to the account.
- It can fail due to insufficient gas.
This patch almost exactly reverts a15805e4 "fix applyCreateMessage" from
2019-02-28. I wonder what that fixed.

Fixes an off by 1 error where `EIP170_CODE_SIZE_LIMIT` was being treated as the
lowest invalid value by EVM code, but the highest valid value by witness code.
To remove confusion, this is renamed to `EIP170_MAX_CODE_SIZE` with value
0x6000, which matches the name (`MAX_CODE_SIZE`) and value used for this limit
in [EIP-170](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-170).

Fixes#864 "Sync progress stops at Goerli block 4494913", and equivalent on
other networks.
The block body fetcher in `blockchain_sync.nim` had an incorrect assumption
about how peers respond to `GetBlockBodies`. It was issuing requests for N
block bodies and incorrectly handling replies which contained fewer than N
bodies.
Having received up to 192 headers in a batch, it split the range into smaller
`GetBlockBodies` requests, fetched each reply, then combined replies. The
effect was Nimbus requested batches of 128+64 block bodies, received gaps in
the reply sequence, then aborted.
That meant it repeatedly fetched data, then discarded it, and fetched it again,
dropping good peers in the process.
Aborted and restarted batches occurred with earlier blocks too, but this became
more pronounced until there were no suitable peers at batch 4494913..4495104.

In practice, for modern peers, Nimbus received shorter replies than it assumed
depending on the block sizes on the chain. Geth/Erigon has 2MiB `BlockBodies`
response size soft limit. OpenEthereum has 4MiB.
Up to Berlin (EIP-2929), Nimbus's fetcher failed often, but there were still
some peers serving what Nimbus needed.
Just after the start of Berlin, at batch 4494913..4495104 on Goerli, zero peers
responded with full size replies for the whole batch, so Nimbus couldn't
progress past that point. But there was already a problem happening before
that for large blocks, dropping good peers and repeatedly fetching the same
block data.

this is a preparation for migration to confutils based config

this redundant check in sealing engine also failed with

other one not set.
Prior to this patch, top-level EVM executions and nested EVM executions did
their `getStorage` and other requests using a completely different set of host
functions. It was just unfinished, to get top-level "new" EVMC working.
This finishes the job - it stops using the old methods. Effect:
- Functionality added at the EVMC host level will be used by all EVM calls.
(The target here is Beam Sync).
- The old set of functions are no longer used, so they can be removed.
- When EVMC host call tracing is enabled (`showTxCalls = true`), it traces
the calls from nested EVM executions as well as top-level.

We've been filling a "vtable"-like at run time, but it's not necessary.
The new object is a global `let x = evmc_host_interface(...)`, we assume it's
initialised before the first use, and we take its address with `.unsafeAddr`.
(If we use `ref evmc_host_interface`, Nim decides (correctly) that the
functions which use it aren't GC-safe because it's a global.)

This combines two things, a C stack usage change with EVM nested calls
via EVMC, and changes to host call tracing.
Feature-wise, the tracing is improved:
- Storage keys and values are make more sense.
- The message/result/context objects are shown with all relevant fields.
- `call` trace is split into entry/exit, so these can be shown around the
called contract's operations, instead of only showing the `call` parameters
after the nested call is finished.
- Nested calls are indented, which helps to highlight the flow.
- C stack usage considerably reduced in nested calls when more functionality
is enabled (either tracing here, or other things to come).
This will seem like a minor patch, but C stack usage was the real motivation,
after plenty of time in the debugger.
Nobody cares about stack when `showTxCalls` (you can just use a big stack when
debugging). But these subtle changes around the `call` path were found to be
necessary for passing all tests when the EVMC nested call code is completed,
and that's a prerequisite for many things: async EVM, dynamic EVM, Beam Sync,
and to fix https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth1/issues/345.

The update for London (EIP-1559) in 1cdb30df ("bump nim-emvc with evmc revision
8.0.0 to 9.0.0") really bumped EVMC ABI version from 7.5 up to 9.
In other words, it skipped Berlin, going direct from Istanbul to London.
That was accompanied by EVMC changes in 05e9b891 ("EIP-3198: add baseFee op
code in nim-evm"), which added the API changes needed for London.
But the missing Berlin functions weren't added in the move to London.
As a result, our EVMC host became incompatible with Berlin, London, and really
all revisions of the ABI, and if a third party EVM was loaded, it crashed.
This commit adds the missing Berlin host support, and makes our ABI
binary-compatible with real EVMC again.

although they are technically different, but in reality,
many networks are using the same id for ChainId dan NetworkId.
in this commit, we set networkid from config file's chainId.
- allow clique period and epoch to be configured via config file
- this also activate poaEngine mode
- remove clique period configuration from cli to reduce confusion
- fix#786
As this branch of vm2 doesn't support EVMC, this EVMC-motivated change is only
required here for internal compatibility.

This changes fixes a bug in `CREATE2` ops when used with EVMC.
Because it changes the salt type, it affects non-EVMC code as well.
The salt was passed through EVMC with the wrong byte order, although this went
unnoticed as the Nimbus host flipped the byte order before using it.
This was found when running Nimbus with third-party EVM,
["evmone"](https://github.com/ethereum/evmone).
There are different ways to remedy this.
If treated as a number, Nimbus EVM would byte-flip the value when calling EVMC,
then Nimbus host would flip the received value. Finally, it would be flipped a
third time when generating the address in `generateSafeAddress`. The first two
flips can be eliminated by negotiation (like other numbers), but there would
always be one flip.
As a bit pattern, Nimbus EVM would flip the same way it does when dealing with
hashes on the stack (e.g. with `getBlockHash`). Nimbus host wouldn't flip at
all - and when using third-party EVMs there would be no flips in Nimbus.
Because this value is not for arithmetic, any bit pattern is valid, and there
shouldn't be any flips when using a third-party EVM, the bit-pattern
interpretation is favoured. The only flip is done in Nimbus EVM (and might be
eliminated in an optimised version).
As suggested, we'll define a new "opaque 256 bits" type to hold this value.
(Similar to `Hash256`, but the salt isn't necessarily a hash.)
Signed-off-by: Jamie Lokier <jamie@shareable.org>
Nimbus types generally use the bit count not the byte count, e.g. `UInt256`,
`Hash256`, so make `ZERO_HASH256` (which has type `Hash256`) fit this pattern.
