From old interop tests, a mock `eth1BlockHash` was defined in `base`.
To avoid accidental use by Nimbus, move to `tests` and rename it to
`mockEth1BlockHash`.
This PR renames the existing `validator_duties` to `beacon_validators`
and in doing so, names validators running inside the beacon node process
"beacon validators" while those running the VC can be referred to as
"client validators" to disambiguate the two.
The existing `validator_duties` instead takes on a new responsibility:
as a home for logic shared between beacon and client validators - ie
code that provides consistency in implementation and behavior between
the two modes of operation.
Not only does this simplify reasoning about where to put code -it also
reduces the number of dependencies the validator client has from ~5000
to ~3000 modules (!) according to `nim genDepend` significantly reducing
compile times.
- Remove unnecessary `Defect` references
- Remove spurious `SerializationError` references
- Remove duplicate `writeValue` template in `keystore.nim`;
same implementation already exists a bit further above in same file.
* Add support for POST /eth/v2/beacon/blocks
* More descriptive errors
* Address review feedback
* Return 500 (not 400) for a missing implementation case
We know the aggregate publickey of a fully participating sync committee.
Because participation is typically very high (>95%), it is faster to
start from that aggregate publickey and subtract the individual keys of
non-participants, than summing up all the participating pubkeys.
To obtain the correct `transactions_root` and `withdrawals_root`,
it is necessary to process execution block header. Light client updates
don't contain the correct MPT roots.
* async batch verification
When batch verification is done, the main thread is blocked reducing
concurrency.
With this PR, the new thread signalling primitive in chronos is used to
offload the full batch verification process to a separate thread
allowing the main threads to continue async operations while the other
threads verify signatures.
Similar to previous behavior, the number of ongoing batch verifications
is capped to prevent runaway resource usage.
In addition to the asynchronous processing, 3 addition changes help
drive throughput:
* A loop is used for batch accumulation: this prevents a stampede of
small batches in eager mode where both the eager and the scheduled batch
runner would pick batches off the queue, prematurely picking "fresh"
batches off the queue
* An additional small wait is introduced for small batches - this helps
create slightly larger batches which make better used of the increased
concurrency
* Up to 2 batches are scheduled to the threadpool during high pressure,
reducing startup latency for the threads
Together, these changes increase attestation verification throughput
under load up to 30%.
* fixup
* Update submodules
* fix blst build issues (and a PIC warning)
* bump

This PR removes a few hundred thousand temporary seq allocations during
state transition - in particular, the flag seq was allocated per
validator while committees are computed per attestation.
We currently call `onSlotEnd` whenever all in-BN validator duties are
completed. VC validator duties are not awaited. When `onSlotEnd` is
processed close to the slot start, a VC may therefore miss duties.
Adding a delay before `onSlotEnd` improves this situation.
The logic can be optimized further if `ActionTracker` would track
`knownValidators` from REST separately from in-process ones.
* Make VC able to understand any type of `/eth/v1/config/spec` response without any changes in source code.
Update compatibility checking.
Now VC is able to obtain any constant from `spec` call.
* Remove RestSpecVC declaration.
* Initial commit.
* Add algorithm in comment.
Remove delays.
Fix logging statement issues.
Change update from epoch to slot.
* Obtain timestamp earlier.
* Add processing delays into algorithm.
* Fix time offset logging to produce integers instead of strings.
* Address review comments.
* Fix copyright year.
Fix updateStatus().
* Remove fields from Slot start log statement.
Fix issues when BN do not support Nimbus Extensions.
Rename metric name and type change.
* Add beacon role to disable time offset check manually.
* require sync committee supermajority in CI
To better catch problems with sync committee messages in CI, extend
local testnet simulation to also verify that each block is signed
by a supermajority of the sync committee.
Requires #5083 and #5084
* lint
Override default Json parsing for keystore case objects to avoid
`CaseTransition` logic to be emitted. When parsing the discriminator,
reinitialize the entire object instead of implicitly changing it,
to avoid UB and also possible oversights when extending the object.
See https://github.com/status-im/nim-serialization/pull/59
`nim-serialization` is tagged with `{.raises:[SerializationError].}` so
it is no longer sufficient to catch `SszError` in some situations.
`SszError` inherits from `SerializationError`, so broadening the caught
exception types can be done now, to enable bumping `nim-serialization`.
https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2/pull/5043#issuecomment-1584227993#5061 is also needed to bump `nim-serialization`.
Cleanup for `ProveField` warnings in `keystore` module.
Note that `ProveField` is disabled by default in makefile, but sometimes
these pop up when doing a regular `nim c`, and cleaning these may allow
enabling the warning in some future.
* split file loading from parsing in helpers
In `readSszForkedHashedBeaconState` and `readRuntimeConfig`, split the
part that loads the file from the part that parses the file. The parsing
portion can be reused with that, e.g., when loading from the network.
* add missing export marker
* Refactor api.nim to provide more informative failure reasons.
Distinct between unexpected data and unexpected code.
Deprecate Option[T] usage.
* Fix 400 for produceBlindedBlock().
Get proper string conversion for strategy.
* Fix SSZ encoded versions of ProduceBlockResponseV2, ProduceBlockResponseV2 can be received and decoded.
Fix done() warnings.
Bump presto.
* Fix compilation error with new presto.
Use TcpNoDelay option for Web3Signer.
* Fix produceBlockV2() should provide SSZ responses too.
* Address block encoding issue.
* Fix signing test.
* Bump presto.
* Address review comments.
Use separate functions per format when parsing LC data from REST.
This allows to process events from the eventstream more directly,
as they are always JSON not SSZ. And also makes the code cleaner.
Assigning to fields of `var` case objects emits `ProveField` warnings.
We disable them in `make` based builds but they may pop up when building
manually with `nim c`. Suppress them for the `keyGen` function, as we
assign to `result.value` separately from `result.ok` to avoid copying.
* `ProveField` cleanups in `forks`
Some more cleanup for `ProveField` warnings in `forks` module.
Note that `ProveField` is disabled by default in makefile, but sometimes
these pop up when doing a regular `nim c`, and cleaning these may allow
enabling the warning in some future.
* use syntax that works if passed to multiple args of call
* Initial commit with both methods enabled: `poll` and `event`.
* Address review comments.
* Address review comments.
Fix copyright years.
* After bump fixes.
* handle one of the `ProveField` warnings
When assigning between `ForkyHashedBeaconState`, suppress `ProveField`
warning, as `tgt.kind == src.kind` was already checked, but compiler
doesn't understand that (as we only `case tgt.kind`).
* Update beacon_chain/spec/forks.nim
* Update beacon_chain/spec/forks.nim
