* Dissolve legacy `sync/types.nim` into `*/eth/eth_types.nim`
* Flare sync: Simplify scheduler and remove `runSingle()` method
why:
`runSingle()` is not used anymore (main purpose was for negotiating
best headers in legacy full sync.)
Also, `runMulti()` was renamed `runPeer()`
* Flare sync: Move `chain` field from `sync_desc` -> `worker_desc`
* Flare sync: Remove handler descriptor lateral reference
why:
Not used anymore. It enabled to turn on/off eth handler activity with
regards to the sync state, i.e.from with in the sync worker.
* Flare sync: Update `Hash256` and other deprecated `std/eth` symbols
* Protocols: Update `Hash256` and other deprecated `std/eth` symbols
* Eth handler: Update `Hash256` and other deprecated `std/eth` symbols
* Update flare TODO
* Remove redundant `sync/type` import
why:
The import module `type` has been removed
* Remove duplicate implementation
This is a minimal set of changes to make things work with the new types
in nim-eth - this is the minimal PR that merely resolves
incompatibilities while the full change set would include more cleanup
and migration.
* Cosmetics, small fixes, add stashed headers verifier
* Remove direct `Era1` support
why:
Era1 is indirectly supported by using the import tool before syncing.
* Clarify database persistent save function.
why:
Function relied on the last saved state block number which was wrong.
It now relies on the tx-level. If it is 0, then data are saved directly.
Otherwise the task that owns the tx will do it.
* Extracted configuration constants into separate file
* Enable single peer mode for debugging
* Fix peer losing issue in multi-mode
details:
Running concurrent download peers was previously programmed as running
a batch downloading and storing ~8k headers and then leaving the `async`
function to be restarted by a scheduler.
This was unfortunate because of occasionally occurring long waiting
times for restart.
While the time gap until restarting were typically observed a few
millisecs, there were always a few outliers which well exceed several
seconds. This seemed to let remote peers run into timeouts.
* Prefix function names `unprocXxx()` and `stagedYyy()` by `headers`
why:
There will be other `unproc` and `staged` modules.
* Remove cruft, update logging
* Fix accounting issue
details:
When staging after fetching headers from the network, there was an off
by 1 error occurring when the result was by one smaller than requested.
Also, a whole range was mis-accounted when a peer was terminating
connection immediately after responding.
* Fix slow/error header accounting when fetching
why:
Originally set for detecting slow headers in a row, the counter
was wrongly extended to general errors.
* Ban peers for a while that respond with too few headers continuously
why:
Some peers only returned one header at a time. If these peers sit on a
farm, they might collectively slow down the download process.
* Update RPC beacon header updater
why:
Old function hook has slightly changed its meaning since it was used
for snap sync. Also, the old hook is used by other functions already.
* Limit number of peers or set to single peer mode
details:
Merge several concepts, single peer mode being one of it.
* Some code clean up, fixings for removing of compiler warnings
* De-noise header fetch related sources
why:
Header download looks relatively stable, so general debugging is not
needed, anymore. This is the equivalent of removing the scaffold from
the part of the building where work has completed.
* More clean up and code prettification for headers stuff
* Implement body fetch and block import
details:
Available headers are used stage blocks by combining existing headers
with newly fetched blocks. Then these blocks are imported/executed via
`persistBlocks()`.
* Logger cosmetics and cleanup
* Remove staged block queue debugging
details:
Feature still available, just not executed anymore
* Docu, logging update
* Update/simplify `runDaemon()`
* Re-calibrate block body requests and soft config for import blocks batch
why:
* For fetching, larger fetch requests are mostly truncated anyway on
MainNet.
* For executing, smaller batch sizes reduce the memory needed for the
price of longer execution times.
* Update metrics counters
* Docu update
* Some fixes, formatting updates, etc.
* Update `borrowed` type: uint -. uint64
also:
Always convert to `uint64` rather than `uint` where appropriate
* init style for Hash256
https://github.com/status-im/nim-eth/pull/733 updates `Hash256` to
become an array instead of an object - unfortunately, nim does not allow
constructing arrays with `name()`, so this PR changes it to `default`
which works with both.
* lint
* Reverse order in staged blob lists
why:
having the largest block number with the least header list index `0`
makes it easier to grow the list with parent headers, i.e. decreasing
block numbers.
* Set a header response threshold when to ditch peer
* Refactor extension of staged header chains record
why:
Was cobbled together as a proof of concept after several approaches of
how to run the download.
* TODO update
* Make debugging code independent of `release` flag
* Update import from jacek
* Block header download starting at Beacon down to Era1
details:
The header download implementation is intended to be completed to a
full sync facility.
Downloaded block headers are stored in a `CoreDb` table. Later on they
should be fetched, complemented by a block body, executed/imported,
and deleted from the table.
The Era1 repository may be partial or missing. Era1 headers are neither
downloaded nor stored on the `CoreDb` table.
Headers are downloaded top down (largest block number first) using the
hash of the block header by one peer. Other peers fetch headers
opportunistically using block numbers
Observed download times for 14m `MainNet` headers varies between 30min
and 1h (Era1 size truncated to 66m blocks.), full download 52min
(anectdotal.) The number of peers downloading concurrently is crucial
here.
* Activate `flare` by command line option
* Fix copyright year
* Wiring ForkedChainRef to other components
- Disable majority of hive simulators
- Only enable pyspec_sim for the moment
- The pyspec_sim is using a smaller RPC service wired to ForkedChainRef
- The RPC service will gradually grow
* Addressing PR review
* Fix test_beacon/setup_env
* Enable consensus_sim (#2441)
* Enable consensus_sim
* Remove isFile check
* Enable Engine API jwt auth tests and exchange cap tests
* Enable engine api in build_sim.sh
* Wire ForkedChainRef to Engine API newPayload
* Wire Engine API getBodies to ForkedChainRef
* Wire Engine API api_forkchoice to ForkedChainRef
* Wire more RPC methods to ForkedChainRef
* Implement eth_syncing
* Implement eth_call and eth_getlogs
* TxPool: simplify smartHead
* Fix smartHead usage
* Fix txpool headDiff
* Remove hasBlockHeader and use headerExists
* Addressing review
* 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)
* Move snap un-dumpers to aristo unit test folder
why:
The only place where it is used, now to test the database against
legacy snap sync dump samples.
While the details of the dumped data have mostly outlived their purpuse,
its use as **entropy** data thrown against `Aristo` has still been
useful to find/debug tricky DB problems.
* Remove cruft
* `nimbus-eth1-blobs` not used anymore as test data source
* remove some redundant EH
* avoid pessimising move (introduces a copy in this case!)
* shift less data around when reading era files (reduces stack usage)
* Use block number or timestamp to determine fork rules
Avoid confusion raised by `forkGTE` usage where block informations are present.
* Get rid of forkGTE
* 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
* Bump nim-eth, nim-web3, nimbus-eth2
- Replace std.Option with results.Opt
- Fields name changes
* More fixes
* Fix Portal stream async raises and portal testnet Opt usage
* Bump eth + nimbus-eth2 + more fixes related to eth_types changes
* Fix in utp test app and nimbus-eth2 bump
* Fix test_blockchain_json rebase conflict
* Fix EVMC block_timestamp conversion plus commentary

`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)

* CoreDb: Remove crufty second/off-site KVT
why:
Was used to allow late `Clique` to store directly to disk
* CoreDb: Remove prune flag related functionality
why:
Is completely legacy stuff
* CoreDb: Remove dependence on legacy API (tests unsupported yet)
why:
Does not fully support Aristo
* Re-factoring `state_db` using new API
details:
Only minimum changes needed to compile `nimbus`
* Update tests and aux modules
* Turn off legacy API and remove `distinct_tries`
comment:
The legacy API has now cruft status, will be removed soon
* Fix copyright years
* Update rpc for verified proxy

* Remove all journal related stuff
* Refactor function names journal*() => delta*(), filter*() => delta*()
* remove `trg` fileld from `FilterRef`
why:
Same as `kMap[$1]`
* Re-type FilterRef.src as `HashKey`
why:
So it is directly comparable to `kMap[$1]`
* Moved `vGen[]` field from `LayerFinalRef` to `LayerDeltaRef`
why:
Then a separate `FilterRef` type is not needed, anymore
* Rename `roFilter` field in `AristoDbRef` => `balancer`
why:
New name more appropriate.
* Replace `FilterRef` by `LayerDeltaRef` type
why:
This allows to avoid copying into the `balancer` (see next patch set)
most of the time. Typically, only one instance is running on the backend
and the `balancer` is only used as a stage before saving data.
* Refactor way how to store data persistently
why:
Avoid useless copy when staging `top` layer for persistently saving to
backend.
* Fix copyright header?
`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.
* avoid unnecessary code hash comparisons
* avoid unnecessary copies when iterating
* use EMPTY_CODE_HASH throughout for code hash comparison
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
* Attempt to roll back stateless mode implementation in a single PR
why:
+ Stateless mode is not fully working and in the way
+ Single PR should make it feasible to investigate for a possible
re-implementation
* Fix copyright year
* Fix annotation for exception (evmc mode)
* 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

* Aristo: Rename journal related sources and functions
why:
Previously, the naming was hinged on the phrases `fifo`, `filter` etc.
which reflect the inner workings of cascaded filters. This was
unfortunate for reading/understanding the source code for actions where
the focus is the journal as a whole.
* Aristo: Fix buffer overflow (path length truncating error)
* Aristo: Tighten `hikeUp()` stop check, update error code
why:
Detect dangling vertex links. These are legit with `snap` sync
processing but not with regular processing.
* Aristo: Raise assert in regular mode `merge()` at a dangling link/edge
why:
With `snap` sync processing, partial trees are ok and can be amended.
Not so in regular mode.
Previously there was only a debug message when a non-legit dangling edge
was encountered.
* Aristo: Make sure that vertices are copied before modification
why:
Otherwise vertices from lower layers might also be modified
* Aristo: Fix relaxed mode for validity checker `check()`
* Remove cruft
* Aristo: Update API for transaction handling
details:
+ Split `aristo_tx.nim` into sub-modules
+ Split `forkWith()` into `findTx()` + `forkTx()`
+ Removed `forkTop()`, `forkBase()` (now superseded by new `forkTx()`)
* CoreDb+Aristo: Fix initialiser (missing methods)
* 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
* Suspend `snap` sync tests
why:
Snap needs to be updated. While this is not done, tests are obsolete
and eat up memory resources only
* Suspend rocks DB timing tests
why:
Currently of no use for general test suite.
* Mothballed unused evm code for opportunistic DB handling
why:
Needs to be refactored anyway. Uses hard coded protocol dependencies.
* Update `eth` protocol configuration
why:
+ new upcoming version `eth68`
+ prepare for eth-multi protocol stack support
* Strip the `legacy_` prefix from eth66 compiler flag variable
why:
Being it is an oddity having `eth67_enabled`, `eth68_enabled`, and
`legacy_eth_66_enabled`.
* Providing eth68 stubs
* Fix copyright year
* Fix eth68 stub method name
