* 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)
Also embed evmc_status_code to computation.error, and make
the tracer produce cleaner output. No more "Revert opcode executed"
error message. We can distinguish error code between REVERT
and FAILURE in a more cleaner way.
simplify EVM and delegete those things to accounts cache.
also no more manual state clearing, accounts cache will be
responsible for both collecting touched account and perform
state clearing.
* Removed some Windows specific unit test annoyances
details:
+ Short put()/get() cycles on persistent database have a race condition
with vendor rocksdb. On a specific (and slow) qemu/win7 a 50ms `sleep()`
in between will mostly do the job (i.e. unless heavy CPU load.) This
issue was not observed on github/ci.
+ Removed annoyances when qemu/Win7 keeps the rocksdb database files
locked even after closing the db. The problem is solved by strictly
using fresh names for each test. No assumption made to be able to
properly clean up. This issue was not observed on github/ci.
* Silence some compiler gossip -- part 7, misc/non(sync or graphql)
details:
Adding some missing exception annotation
* Silence some compiler gossip -- part 5, common
details:
Mostly removing redundant imports and `Defect` tracer after switch
to nim 1.6
* Silence some compiler gossip -- part 6, db, rpc, utils
details:
Mostly removing redundant imports and `Defect` tracer after switch
to nim 1.6
* Silence some compiler gossip -- part 7, randomly collected source files
details:
Mostly removing redundant imports and `Defect` tracer after switch
to nim 1.6
* Silence some compiler gossip -- part 8, assorted tests
details:
Mostly removing redundant imports and `Defect` tracer after switch
to nim 1.6
* Clique update
why:
More impossible exceptions (undoes temporary fix from previous PR)
* Added basic async capabilities for vm2.
This is a whole new Git branch, not the same one as last time
(https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth1/pull/1250) - there wasn't
much worth salvaging. Main differences:
I didn't do the "each opcode has to specify an async handler" junk
that I put in last time. Instead, in oph_memory.nim you can see
sloadOp calling asyncChainTo and passing in an async operation.
That async operation is then run by the execCallOrCreate (or
asyncExecCallOrCreate) code in interpreter_dispatch.nim.
In the test code, the (previously existing) macro called "assembler"
now allows you to add a section called "initialStorage", specifying
fake data to be used by the EVM computation run by that test. (In
the long run we'll obviously want to write tests that for-real use
the JSON-RPC API to asynchronously fetch data; for now, this was
just an expedient way to write a basic unit test that exercises the
async-EVM code pathway.)
There's also a new macro called "concurrentAssemblers" that allows
you to write a test that runs multiple assemblers concurrently (and
then waits for them all to finish). There's one example test using
this, in test_op_memory_lazy.nim, though you can't actually see it
doing so unless you uncomment some echo statements in
async_operations.nim (in which case you can see the two concurrently
running EVM computations each printing out what they're doing, and
you'll see that they interleave).
A question: is it possible to make EVMC work asynchronously? (For
now, this code compiles and "make test" passes even if ENABLE_EVMC
is turned on, but it doesn't actually work asynchronously, it just
falls back on doing the usual synchronous EVMC thing. See
FIXME-asyncAndEvmc.)
* Moved the AsyncOperationFactory to the BaseVMState object.
* Made the AsyncOperationFactory into a table of fn pointers.
Also ditched the plain-data Vm2AsyncOperation type; it wasn't
really serving much purpose. Instead, the pendingAsyncOperation
field directly contains the Future.
* Removed the hasStorage idea.
It's not the right solution to the "how do we know whether we
still need to fetch the storage value or not?" problem. I
haven't implemented the right solution yet, but at least
we're better off not putting in a wrong one.
* Added/modified/removed some comments.
(Based on feedback on the PR.)
* Removed the waitFor from execCallOrCreate.
There was some back-and-forth in the PR regarding whether nested
waitFor calls are acceptable:
https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth1/pull/1260#discussion_r998587449
The eventual decision was to just change the waitFor to a doAssert
(since we probably won't want this extra functionality when running
synchronously anyway) to make sure that the Future is already
finished.
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.

Previously max gas refunded was defined as gas_used div 2.
Here we name the constant 2 as MAX_REFUND_QUOTIENT and
change its value to 5.
The new equation will be: gas_used div MAX_REFUND_QUOTIENT
1. Send all EVM executions through the EVMC `execute` function.
It leads to the same place in the end as calling `Computation` before, but
`execute` is the API function used by all EVMC implementations, and it is
very explicit what data is passed back and forth.
2. As a consequence this starts using the new `host_services` code from EVM, so
this is a significant change to the paths used for account state processing.
3. Because we will have to remove the `newComputation` call on the host side,
anticipating that the contract code is now saved in `host` instead of being
copied around. As it's saved in `host`, there is no need to pass it
separately to `evmcExecComputation`.

This provides "host services", functions provided by the application to an EVM.
They are a key part of EVMC compatibility, but we will switch to using these
with "native" EVM as well.
These are functions like `getStorage`, `setStorage` and `emitLog` for accessing
the account state, because the EVM is not allowed direct access to the database.
This code is adapted from `nimbus/vm/evmc_host.nim` and other places, but there
is more emphasis on being host-side only, no dependency on the EVM or
`Computation` type. It uses `TransactionHost` and types in `host_types`.
These host services have two goals: To be compatible with EVMC, and to be a
good way for the Nimbus EVM to access the data it needs. In our new Nimbus
internal architecture, the EVM will only access the databases and other
application state via these host service functions.
The reason for containing the EVM like this, even "native" EVM, is that having
one good interface to the data makes it a lot easier to change how the database
works, which is on the roadmap.
These functions almost have EVMC signatures, but they are not binary compatible
with EVMC. (Binary compatibility is provided by another module). It would be
fine for Nimbus EVM to call these functions directly when linked directly.

File `vm_types2` is obsolete. Remove this file and divert all imports to the
common forks list outside the EVM, or in some cases they don't need it anyway.

The current EVM generates its own new contract addresses, and this is why there
are separate `msg.contractAddress` and `msg.codeAddress` fields in the
computation start message.
In EVMC, account updates are only allowed on the host side, including contract
generation, and the start message has one destination field, `msg.destination`.
The EVM cannot select addresses, only use them. It's a sensible design.
The difference makes the current EVM incompatible with EVMC and its message
format, so this patch corrects the difference. It moves contract address
generation to the host side. This simplifies the EVM and its API a little.
(As an API change, this is incompatible with vm2, so it's guarded under
`evmc_enabled` to allow vm2 to continue to build and run at this time. This is
also why there are fewer deletions than would otherwise be expected.)

The last caller of `setupComputation` is gone, now that it's been replaced by
the single entry point for all EVM calls, `runComputation`.
With this removal, EVM's `Computation` type should no longer be used anywhere
outside the call module (except in some tests and the EVM itself).

Add another flag to disable a processing step when a call doesn't come from
a real transaction:
- `noTransfer`: Don't update balances, nonces, code.
This is to support VM fixtures tests which require account balances and nonces
to be unchanged when running the account's code.
These tests call `c.executeOpcodes()`, an internal function of the EVM, instead
of the usual `c.execComputation()`. It goes direct to the bytecode dispatcher,
skipping parts of `Computation` that are normally called.
But we can't keep calling `c.executeOpcodes()` and have a single entry point to
the VM, let alone an EVMC entry point.
`noTransfer` provides similar enough behaviour to calling `c.executeOpcodes()`
that these tests can use the new single entry point like everything else.

The following four flags are added, to change various steps in EVM processing
when a call doesn't come from a real transaction:
- `noIntrinsic`: Don't charge intrinsic gas.
- `noAccessList`: Don't initialise EIP2929 access list.
- `noGasCharge`: Don't charge sender account for gas.
- `noRefund`: Don't apply gas refund/burn rule.
This is to support RPC and GraphQL `call` operations, which behave differently
in some ways from regular transaction calls, and to support some test suites.
In EVMC terms, all these alterations can be performed on the host side.

Calculate extra intrinsic gas for an EIP-2930 transaction with access list.
While we're here, do the rest of the intrinsic gas calculation. Make it clear,
explicit and in one place. (Previous code delegated parts of the calculation
to `transaction.nim` but had to do the rest locally due to mismatched types.)

New entry point `runComputation`, for all EVM calls.
(Later the intent is `runComputationAsync`.)
As noted in commit 297d789, there are six entry points calling EVM computation,
with different parameters and expecting different behaviours. Parameters were
dealt with in `setupComputation`. Behaviours are unified in `runComputation`,
with options passed via `CallParams`.
This code performs the steps used when validating a transaction. Options for
non-standard behaviour for RPC, GraphQL and tests to be added as required.
This replaces `setupComputation`, `execComputation` and `executeOpcodes`
(other than its own calls). As a result `Computation` and other EVM types are
no longer referenced in the main program, and many imports can be dropped.
