A fix for a bug triggered by recent `Jenkinsfile` refactoring done in:
https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2/pull/3827
Which due to a big in Jenkins Throttling plugin caused jobs to start
running in parallel on the same host despite global configuration that
is supposed to block this:
https://issues.jenkins.io/browse/JENKINS-49173https://github.com/jenkinsci/throttle-concurrent-builds-plugin/pull/68
An attempt to fix this was made in this PR:
https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2/pull/3913
But it was ineffective due to bugs in the Throttle plugin.
As a result semi-random testnet launches would fail with errors like this:
```
./scripts/launch_local_testnet.sh: line 1026: 58977 Killed: 9 ${BEACON_NODE_COMMAND} ...
```
The culprit was the old process cleanup in `scripts/launch_local_testnet.sh`:
```
+ make local-testnet-mainnet
Found old process listening on port 7001, with PID 58977. Killing it.
Found old process listening on port 7002, with PID 59024. Killing it.
Found old process listening on port 7003, withu PID 59027. Killing it.
Found old process listening on port 7004, with PID 59030. Killing it.
```
Which was triggered due to use of immediate assignment for `EXECUTOR_NUMBER`:
```
EXECUTOR_NUMBER := 0
```
Which cause the `EXECUTOR_NUMBER` value set by Jenkins to be ignored.

The ports for the concurrently executing REST and Minimal testnet clash,
leading to some CI failures since #3827 introduced further concurrency.
Adjusting the ports to be distinct across various tests should fix this.
`mkdocs` works with markdown similar to `mdbook` but is generally more
pleasing to the eye and has several nice UX features.
This PR does the bulk of the transition - likely, a followup would be
needed to fully make use of the extra features and navigation.
Book pages have been kept url-compatible, meaning that for the most
part, old links should continue to work!

Changes:
- Name local testnet output folders same as the `make` taget.
- Move both `Jenkinsfile`s to `ci` folder to avoid cluttering repo root.
- Separate builds by platform so logs from macos and linux hosts don't get mixed.
- Detect platform and architecture from Jenkins Job path to use one Jenkinsfile.
- Divide shell commands into as many stages as possible to make debugging easier.
- Generalize running testnets via a `launchLocalTestnet()` Groovy method.
- Handle uploading of results of running testnets stage-by-stage basis.
- Use `catchError()` to upload test results while marking job as failed.
- Abort previously started PR build jobs usin `disableConcurrentBuilds()`.
- Throttle jobs using the new `throttleJobProperty()` function.

* update docs
* introduce mdbook-admonish for nice looking callouts
* new section on data directory
* recommend source build for advanced users and direct the rest to
binaries
* more strongly highlight that execution client is needed
* write an actual deposit guide
* remove cruft / fix links / etc
* Re-enabled requireAllFields after a fix in nim-json-serialization
The problem was that `Option[T]` fields were not treated as optional
when requireAllFields is set to true. This is now fixed in NJS.
* Add makefile targets for recreating the Jenkins simulation runs
* Fix a discrepancy with the REST spec
Adds the `--web3-url` launch argument to `nimbus_light_client` to enable
driving the EL with the optimistic head obtained from LC sync protocol.
This will keep issuing `newPayload` / `forkChoiceUpdated` requests for
new blocks, marking them as optimistic. `ZERO_HASH` is reported as the
finalized block for now.
For consistency with other options, use a common prefix for light client
data configuration options.
* `--serve-light-client-data` --> `--light-client-data-serve`
* `--import-light-client-data` --> `--light-client-data-import-mode`
No deprecation of the old identifiers as they were only sparingly used
and all usage can be easily updated without interferance.
When launched with `--light-client-enable` the latest blocks are fetched
and optimistic candidate blocks are passed to a callback (log for now).
This helps accelerate syncing in the future (optimistic sync).
Introduces a new library for syncing using libp2p based light client
sync protocol, and adds a new `nimbus_light_client` executable that uses
this library for syncing. The new executable emits log messages when
new beacon block headers are received, and is integrated into testing.
Other fixes:
* Fix bit rot in the `make prater-dev-deposit` target.
* Correct content-type in the responses of the Nimbus signing node
* Invalid JSON payload was being sent in the web3signer requests
* `gnosis-chain` -> `gnosis`
Use same name as LH/Teku throughout
* fixes#3504
* fixes large stack temporary that can cause crashes during genesis
detection
The `pyrmont` testnet has been discontinued.
For experiments, it's still possible to run pyrmont nodes by passing a
genesis/config, but this PR removes the bundled `--network:pyrmont`
option.
* update docs
* remove empty docs
* remove obsolete `eth2-stats` page
* Support for Gnosis Chain
`make gnosis-chain-build` will build the Nimbus gnosis chain binary,
stored in `build/nimbus_beacon_node_for_gnosis_chain`.
`make gnosis-chain` will connect to the network.
Other changes:
* Restore compilation with -d:has_genesis_detection
* Removed Makefile target related to testnet0 and testnet1
* Added more debug logging for failed peer handshakes
* Report misconfigured builds which try to embed network metadata
that is incompatible with the currently selected const preset.
* Don't bundle network metadata in minimal builds, as they are not compatible
* Jenkins: get rid of macOS warnings
We're linking object files with debug info with ones without it. Perfectly justified, from our point of view, but dsymutil complains verbosely about it, with no switch to silence it.
It's sometimes useful to simulate what happens when a chain runs from a
given state with a given set of private keys - `wss_sim` allows running
such a simulation.
One use of such a tool is to simulate a weak subjectivity attack,
creating alternative histories of the same chain:
https://notes.status.im/nimbus-insecura-network#
The new format is based on compressed CSV files in two channels:
* Detailed per-epoch data
* Aggregated "daily" summaries
The use of append-only CSV file speeds up significantly the epoch
processing speed during data generation. The use of compression
results in smaller storage requirements overall. The use of the
aggregated files has a very minor cost in both CPU and storage,
but leads to near interactive speed for report generation.
Other changes:
- Implemented support for graceful shut downs to avoid corrupting
the saved files.
- Fixed a memory leak caused by lacking `StateCache` clean up on each
iteration.
- Addressed review comments
- Moved the rewards and penalties calculation code in a separate module
Required invasive changes to existing modules:
- The `data` field of the `KeyedBlockRef` type is made public to be used
by the validator rewards monitor's Chain DAG update procedure.
- The `getForkedBlock` procedure from the `blockchain_dag.nim` module
is made public to be used by the validator rewards monitor's Chain DAG
update procedure.
Used during initial development of the spec, `nbench` has fallen behind
and by and large been superceded by `block_sim`, `state_sim` and
`ncli_db bench`.
* "official" -> "scenarios", like the submodule
* fewer test binaries - various compile hacks have been improved over
time, test suite should follow
* remove obsolete bls tests - there are better test vectors in
nim-blscurve
* remove obsolete mentions of `ssz_testing`
* remove obsolete comments about proc vs globals, unittest2 already uses
proc's
* 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

* 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
* add Altair support to the block quarantine
* switch some spec/datatypes imports to spec/datatypes/base
* add Altair support to block_clearance
* allow runtime configuration of Altair transition slot
* enable Altair in block_sim, including in CI
