disentangle eth2 types from the ssz library (#2785) * reorganize ssz dependencies This PR continues the work in https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2/pull/2646, https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2/pull/2779 as well as past issues with serialization and type, to disentangle SSZ from eth2 and at the same time simplify imports and exports with a structured approach. The principal idea here is that when a library wants to introduce SSZ support, they do so via 3 files: * `ssz_codecs` which imports and reexports `codecs` - this covers the basic byte conversions and ensures no overloads get lost * `xxx_merkleization` imports and exports `merkleization` to specialize and get access to `hash_tree_root` and friends * `xxx_ssz_serialization` imports and exports `ssz_serialization` to specialize ssz for a specific library Those that need to interact with SSZ always import the `xxx_` versions of the modules and never `ssz` itself so as to keep imports simple and safe. This is similar to how the REST / JSON-RPC serializers are structured in that someone wanting to serialize spec types to REST-JSON will import `eth2_rest_serialization` and nothing else. * split up ssz into a core library that is independendent of eth2 types * rename `bytes_reader` to `codec` to highlight that it contains coding and decoding of bytes and native ssz types * remove tricky List init overload that causes compile issues * get rid of top-level ssz import * reenable merkleization tests * move some "standard" json serializers to spec * remove `ValidatorIndex` serialization for now * remove test_ssz_merkleization * add tests for over/underlong byte sequences * fix broken seq[byte] test - seq[byte] is not an SSZ type There are a few things this PR doesn't solve: * like #2646 this PR is weak on how to handle root and other dontSerialize fields that "sometimes" should be computed - the same problem appears in REST / JSON-RPC etc * Fix a build problem on macOS * Another way to fix the macOS builds Co-authored-by: Zahary Karadjov <zahary@gmail.com>

limit by-root requests to non-finalized blocks (#3293) * limit by-root requests to non-finalized blocks Presently, we keep a mapping from block root to `BlockRef` in memory - this has simplified reasoning about the dag, but is not sustainable with the chain growing. We can distinguish between two cases where by-root access is useful: * unfinalized blocks - this is where the beacon chain is operating generally, by validating incoming data as interesting for future fork choice decisions - bounded by the length of the unfinalized period * finalized blocks - historical access in the REST API etc - no bounds, really In this PR, we limit the by-root block index to the first use case: finalized chain data can more efficiently be addressed by slot number. Future work includes: * limiting the `BlockRef` horizon in general - each instance is 40 bytes+overhead which adds up - this needs further refactoring to deal with the tail vs state problem * persisting the finalized slot-to-hash index - this one also keeps growing unbounded (albeit slowly) Anyway, this PR easily shaves ~128mb of memory usage at the time of writing. * No longer honor `BeaconBlocksByRoot` requests outside of the non-finalized period - previously, Nimbus would generously return any block through this libp2p request - per the spec, finalized blocks should be fetched via `BeaconBlocksByRange` instead. * return `Opt[BlockRef]` instead of `nil` when blocks can't be found - this becomes a lot more common now and thus deserves more attention * `dag.blocks` -> `dag.forkBlocks` - this index only carries unfinalized blocks from now - `finalizedBlocks` covers the other `BlockRef` instances * in backfill, verify that the last backfilled block leads back to genesis, or panic * add backfill timings to log * fix missing check that `BlockRef` block can be fetched with `getForkedBlock` reliably * shortcut doppelganger check when feature is not enabled * in REST/JSON-RPC, fetch blocks without involving `BlockRef` * fix dag.blocks ref

Prune `BlockRef` on finalization (#3513) Up til now, the block dag has been using `BlockRef`, a structure adapted for a full DAG, to represent all of chain history. This is a correct and simple design, but does not exploit the linearity of the chain once parts of it finalize. By pruning the in-memory `BlockRef` structure at finalization, we save, at the time of writing, a cool ~250mb (or 25%:ish) chunk of memory landing us at a steady state of ~750mb normal memory usage for a validating node. Above all though, we prevent memory usage from growing proportionally with the length of the chain, something that would not be sustainable over time - instead, the steady state memory usage is roughly determined by the validator set size which grows much more slowly. With these changes, the core should remain sustainable memory-wise post-merge all the way to withdrawals (when the validator set is expected to grow). In-memory indices are still used for the "hot" unfinalized portion of the chain - this ensure that consensus performance remains unchanged. What changes is that for historical access, we use a db-based linear slot index which is cache-and-disk-friendly, keeping the cost for accessing historical data at a similar level as before, achieving the savings at no percievable cost to functionality or performance. A nice collateral benefit is the almost-instant startup since we no longer load any large indicies at dag init. The cost of this functionality instead can be found in the complexity of having to deal with two ways of traversing the chain - by `BlockRef` and by slot. * use `BlockId` instead of `BlockRef` where finalized / historical data may be required * simplify clearance pre-advancement * remove dag.finalizedBlocks (~50:ish mb) * remove `getBlockAtSlot` - use `getBlockIdAtSlot` instead * `parent` and `atSlot` for `BlockId` now require a `ChainDAGRef` instance, unlike `BlockRef` traversal * prune `BlockRef` parents on finality (~200:ish mb) * speed up ChainDAG init by not loading finalized history index * mess up light client server error handling - this need revisiting :)

Prune `BlockRef` on finalization (#3513) Up til now, the block dag has been using `BlockRef`, a structure adapted for a full DAG, to represent all of chain history. This is a correct and simple design, but does not exploit the linearity of the chain once parts of it finalize. By pruning the in-memory `BlockRef` structure at finalization, we save, at the time of writing, a cool ~250mb (or 25%:ish) chunk of memory landing us at a steady state of ~750mb normal memory usage for a validating node. Above all though, we prevent memory usage from growing proportionally with the length of the chain, something that would not be sustainable over time - instead, the steady state memory usage is roughly determined by the validator set size which grows much more slowly. With these changes, the core should remain sustainable memory-wise post-merge all the way to withdrawals (when the validator set is expected to grow). In-memory indices are still used for the "hot" unfinalized portion of the chain - this ensure that consensus performance remains unchanged. What changes is that for historical access, we use a db-based linear slot index which is cache-and-disk-friendly, keeping the cost for accessing historical data at a similar level as before, achieving the savings at no percievable cost to functionality or performance. A nice collateral benefit is the almost-instant startup since we no longer load any large indicies at dag init. The cost of this functionality instead can be found in the complexity of having to deal with two ways of traversing the chain - by `BlockRef` and by slot. * use `BlockId` instead of `BlockRef` where finalized / historical data may be required * simplify clearance pre-advancement * remove dag.finalizedBlocks (~50:ish mb) * remove `getBlockAtSlot` - use `getBlockIdAtSlot` instead * `parent` and `atSlot` for `BlockId` now require a `ChainDAGRef` instance, unlike `BlockRef` traversal * prune `BlockRef` parents on finality (~200:ish mb) * speed up ChainDAG init by not loading finalized history index * mess up light client server error handling - this need revisiting :)

Implement split preset/config support (#2710) * Implement split preset/config support This is the initial bulk refactor to introduce runtime config values in a number of places, somewhat replacing the existing mechanism of loading network metadata. It still needs more work, this is the initial refactor that introduces runtime configuration in some of the places that need it. The PR changes the way presets and constants work, to match the spec. In particular, a "preset" now refers to the compile-time configuration while a "cfg" or "RuntimeConfig" is the dynamic part. A single binary can support either mainnet or minimal, but not both. Support for other presets has been removed completely (can be readded, in case there's need). There's a number of outstanding tasks: * `SECONDS_PER_SLOT` still needs fixing * loading custom runtime configs needs redoing * checking constants against YAML file * yeerongpilly support `build/nimbus_beacon_node --network=yeerongpilly --discv5:no --log-level=DEBUG` * load fork epoch from config * fix fork digest sent in status * nicer error string for request failures * fix tools * one more * fixup * fixup * fixup * use "standard" network definition folder in local testnet Files are loaded from their standard locations, including genesis etc, to conform to the format used in the `eth2-networks` repo. * fix launch scripts, allow unknown config values * fix base config of rest test * cleanups * bundle mainnet config using common loader * fix spec links and names * only include supported preset in binary * drop yeerongpilly, add altair-devnet-0, support boot_enr.yaml

The cost of this functionality instead can be found in the complexity of having to deal with two ways of traversing the chain - by `BlockRef` and by slot. * use `BlockId` instead of `BlockRef` where finalized / historical data may be required * simplify clearance pre-advancement * remove dag.finalizedBlocks (~50:ish mb) * remove `getBlockAtSlot` - use `getBlockIdAtSlot` instead * `parent` and `atSlot` for `BlockId` now require a `ChainDAGRef` instance, unlike `BlockRef` traversal * prune `BlockRef` parents on finality (~200:ish mb) * speed up ChainDAG init by not loading finalized history index * mess up light client server error handling - this need revisiting :)

Implement split preset/config support (#2710) * Implement split preset/config support This is the initial bulk refactor to introduce runtime config values in a number of places, somewhat replacing the existing mechanism of loading network metadata. It still needs more work, this is the initial refactor that introduces runtime configuration in some of the places that need it. The PR changes the way presets and constants work, to match the spec. In particular, a "preset" now refers to the compile-time configuration while a "cfg" or "RuntimeConfig" is the dynamic part. A single binary can support either mainnet or minimal, but not both. Support for other presets has been removed completely (can be readded, in case there's need). There's a number of outstanding tasks: * `SECONDS_PER_SLOT` still needs fixing * loading custom runtime configs needs redoing * checking constants against YAML file * yeerongpilly support `build/nimbus_beacon_node --network=yeerongpilly --discv5:no --log-level=DEBUG` * load fork epoch from config * fix fork digest sent in status * nicer error string for request failures * fix tools * one more * fixup * fixup * fixup * use "standard" network definition folder in local testnet Files are loaded from their standard locations, including genesis etc, to conform to the format used in the `eth2-networks` repo. * fix launch scripts, allow unknown config values * fix base config of rest test * cleanups * bundle mainnet config using common loader * fix spec links and names * only include supported preset in binary * drop yeerongpilly, add altair-devnet-0, support boot_enr.yaml

Prune `BlockRef` on finalization (#3513) Up til now, the block dag has been using `BlockRef`, a structure adapted for a full DAG, to represent all of chain history. This is a correct and simple design, but does not exploit the linearity of the chain once parts of it finalize. By pruning the in-memory `BlockRef` structure at finalization, we save, at the time of writing, a cool ~250mb (or 25%:ish) chunk of memory landing us at a steady state of ~750mb normal memory usage for a validating node. Above all though, we prevent memory usage from growing proportionally with the length of the chain, something that would not be sustainable over time - instead, the steady state memory usage is roughly determined by the validator set size which grows much more slowly. With these changes, the core should remain sustainable memory-wise post-merge all the way to withdrawals (when the validator set is expected to grow). In-memory indices are still used for the "hot" unfinalized portion of the chain - this ensure that consensus performance remains unchanged. What changes is that for historical access, we use a db-based linear slot index which is cache-and-disk-friendly, keeping the cost for accessing historical data at a similar level as before, achieving the savings at no percievable cost to functionality or performance. A nice collateral benefit is the almost-instant startup since we no longer load any large indicies at dag init. The cost of this functionality instead can be found in the complexity of having to deal with two ways of traversing the chain - by `BlockRef` and by slot. * use `BlockId` instead of `BlockRef` where finalized / historical data may be required * simplify clearance pre-advancement * remove dag.finalizedBlocks (~50:ish mb) * remove `getBlockAtSlot` - use `getBlockIdAtSlot` instead * `parent` and `atSlot` for `BlockId` now require a `ChainDAGRef` instance, unlike `BlockRef` traversal * prune `BlockRef` parents on finality (~200:ish mb) * speed up ChainDAG init by not loading finalized history index * mess up light client server error handling - this need revisiting :)

chaindag: don't keep backfill block table in memory (#3429) This PR names and documents the concept of the archive: a range of slots for which we have degraded functionality in terms of historical access - in particular: * we don't support rewinding to states in this range * we don't keep an in-memory representation of the block dag The archive de-facto exists in a trusted-node-synced node, but this PR gives it a name and drops the in-memory digest index. In order to satisfy `GetBlocksByRange` requests, we ensure that we have blocks for the entire archive period via backfill. Future versions may relax this further, adding a "pre-archive" period that is fully pruned. During by-slot searches in the archive (both for libp2p and rest requests), an extra database lookup is used to covert the given `slot` to a `root` - future versions will avoid this using era files which natively are indexed by `slot`. That said, the lookup is quite fast compared to the actual block loading given how trivial the table is - it's hard to measure, even. A collateral benefit of this PR is that checkpoint-synced nodes will see 100-200MB memory usage savings, thanks to the dropped in-memory cache - future pruning work will bring this benefit to full nodes as well. * document chaindag storage architecture and assumptions * look up parent using block id instead of full block in clearance (future-proofing the code against a future in which blocks come from era files) * simplify finalized block init, always writing the backfill portion to db at startup (to ensure lookups work as expected) * preallocate some extra memory for finalized blocks, to avoid immediate realloc

Prune `BlockRef` on finalization (#3513) Up til now, the block dag has been using `BlockRef`, a structure adapted for a full DAG, to represent all of chain history. This is a correct and simple design, but does not exploit the linearity of the chain once parts of it finalize. By pruning the in-memory `BlockRef` structure at finalization, we save, at the time of writing, a cool ~250mb (or 25%:ish) chunk of memory landing us at a steady state of ~750mb normal memory usage for a validating node. Above all though, we prevent memory usage from growing proportionally with the length of the chain, something that would not be sustainable over time - instead, the steady state memory usage is roughly determined by the validator set size which grows much more slowly. With these changes, the core should remain sustainable memory-wise post-merge all the way to withdrawals (when the validator set is expected to grow). In-memory indices are still used for the "hot" unfinalized portion of the chain - this ensure that consensus performance remains unchanged. What changes is that for historical access, we use a db-based linear slot index which is cache-and-disk-friendly, keeping the cost for accessing historical data at a similar level as before, achieving the savings at no percievable cost to functionality or performance. A nice collateral benefit is the almost-instant startup since we no longer load any large indicies at dag init. The cost of this functionality instead can be found in the complexity of having to deal with two ways of traversing the chain - by `BlockRef` and by slot. * use `BlockId` instead of `BlockRef` where finalized / historical data may be required * simplify clearance pre-advancement * remove dag.finalizedBlocks (~50:ish mb) * remove `getBlockAtSlot` - use `getBlockIdAtSlot` instead * `parent` and `atSlot` for `BlockId` now require a `ChainDAGRef` instance, unlike `BlockRef` traversal * prune `BlockRef` parents on finality (~200:ish mb) * speed up ChainDAG init by not loading finalized history index * mess up light client server error handling - this need revisiting :)

Implement split preset/config support (#2710) * Implement split preset/config support This is the initial bulk refactor to introduce runtime config values in a number of places, somewhat replacing the existing mechanism of loading network metadata. It still needs more work, this is the initial refactor that introduces runtime configuration in some of the places that need it. The PR changes the way presets and constants work, to match the spec. In particular, a "preset" now refers to the compile-time configuration while a "cfg" or "RuntimeConfig" is the dynamic part. A single binary can support either mainnet or minimal, but not both. Support for other presets has been removed completely (can be readded, in case there's need). There's a number of outstanding tasks: * `SECONDS_PER_SLOT` still needs fixing * loading custom runtime configs needs redoing * checking constants against YAML file * yeerongpilly support `build/nimbus_beacon_node --network=yeerongpilly --discv5:no --log-level=DEBUG` * load fork epoch from config * fix fork digest sent in status * nicer error string for request failures * fix tools * one more * fixup * fixup * fixup * use "standard" network definition folder in local testnet Files are loaded from their standard locations, including genesis etc, to conform to the format used in the `eth2-networks` repo. * fix launch scripts, allow unknown config values * fix base config of rest test * cleanups * bundle mainnet config using common loader * fix spec links and names * only include supported preset in binary * drop yeerongpilly, add altair-devnet-0, support boot_enr.yaml

chaindag: don't keep backfill block table in memory (#3429) This PR names and documents the concept of the archive: a range of slots for which we have degraded functionality in terms of historical access - in particular: * we don't support rewinding to states in this range * we don't keep an in-memory representation of the block dag The archive de-facto exists in a trusted-node-synced node, but this PR gives it a name and drops the in-memory digest index. In order to satisfy `GetBlocksByRange` requests, we ensure that we have blocks for the entire archive period via backfill. Future versions may relax this further, adding a "pre-archive" period that is fully pruned. During by-slot searches in the archive (both for libp2p and rest requests), an extra database lookup is used to covert the given `slot` to a `root` - future versions will avoid this using era files which natively are indexed by `slot`. That said, the lookup is quite fast compared to the actual block loading given how trivial the table is - it's hard to measure, even. A collateral benefit of this PR is that checkpoint-synced nodes will see 100-200MB memory usage savings, thanks to the dropped in-memory cache - future pruning work will bring this benefit to full nodes as well. * document chaindag storage architecture and assumptions * look up parent using block id instead of full block in clearance (future-proofing the code against a future in which blocks come from era files) * simplify finalized block init, always writing the backfill portion to db at startup (to ensure lookups work as expected) * preallocate some extra memory for finalized blocks, to avoid immediate realloc
