This PR allows sharing the pubkey data between validators by using a
thread-local cache for pubkey data, netting about a 400mb mem usage
reduction on holesky due to us keeping 3 permanent + several ephemeral
state copies in memory at all times and each state copy holding a full
validator.
The PR also introduces a hash cache for the key which gives ~14% speedup
for a full state `hash_tree_root` - the key makes up for a large part of
the `Validator` htr time.
Finally, the time it takes to copy a state goes down as well from ~80m
ms to ~60, for reasons similar to htr.
We use a `ptr` even if a `ref` could in theory have been used - there is
not much practical benefit to a `ref` (given it's mutable) while a `ptr`
is cheaper and easier to copy (when copying temporary states).
We could go further and cache a cooked pubkey but it turns out this is
quite intrusive - in all the relevant places, we're already using a
cooked key from the immutable validator data so there are no immediate
performance gains of doing so while managing the compressed -> cooked
key mapping would become more difficult - something for a future PR
perhaps.

Changes here are more significant because of some good old tech debt in
block production which has grown quite hairy - the reduction in
exception handling at least provides some steps in the right direction.

copyright year linting
* Update rest_capella_mev_calls.nim
more copyright year linting
Avoid marking blocks invalid when corresponding `blobSidecarsByRange`
returns an incomplete / incorrect response while syncing. The block
itself may still be valid in that scenario.
The `blob_gas_used` field was not properly populated when constructing
Deneb light client data. This is due to #5026 not applying the change to
the entire codebase when the new field got introduced, and due to #5350
not catching that oversight in other modules. Also reviewed codebase and
discovered that `shortLog` for Deneb execution payloads has same bug.
* remove extraneous length checks in KZG batch proofs
* re-add winservice import but only for Windows, to avoid UnusedImport warning
* also uses establishWindowsService
* Avoid global in p2p macro (fixes#4578)
* copy p2p macro to this repo and start de-crufting it
* make protocol registration dynamic, removing light client hacks et al
* split out light client protocol into its own file
* cleanups
* Option -> Opt
* remove more cruft
* further split beacon_sync
this allows the light client to respond to peer metadata messages
without exposing the block sync protocol
* better protocol init
* "constant" protocol index
* avoid casts
* copyright
* move some discovery code to discovery
* avoid extraneous data copy when sending chunks
* remove redundant forkdigest field
* document how to connect to a specific peer
Extend slot start message and default status bar with information about
current head fork and the next fork transition (corresponding to head).
This is useful to know whether a synced client is aware of a future fork
and can also be useful when syncing from old forks to follow progress
across the various forks.

With Capella, `bls_to_execution_change` SSE should be emitted on the
event stream whenever a new `SignedBLSToExecutionChange` is received.
Add this missing functionality for compatibility with beacon-API specs.

This requires all object types to be explicitly white-listed for
default serialization. The PR makes the minimal changes, although
a number of similar mechanisms in eth2_rest_serialization can now
be removed.
As followup from #5654, ensure that we still keep the comment around
referring to the correct `forkchoiceUpdated` to use being driven by
the fork schedule.
* use `PayloadAttributesV3` in `nimbus_light_client` for Deneb
From Deneb onward, `forkchoiceUpdated` requires `PayloadAttributesV3`.
In `nimbus_light_client` we still used `PayloadAttributesV2`.
Also clean up two other locations that were already correctly using
`PayloadAttributesV3`, to reduce code duplication.
* fix letter case
Simplify best `LightClientUpdate` collection by tracking only canonical
data instead of tracking the best update across all branches within the
sync committee period.

When new finality is reached without supermajority sync committee
support, trigger another event push on beacon-API and libp2p once
the finality gains supermajority support.
- https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/pull/3549
Replace sections that need to be maintained with every `ConsensusFork`
related to LC data collection with a generic logic that keeps working
when unrelated parts of Ethereum change.
* Initial commit.
* Fix issues and tests.
* Fix test compilation issue.
* Update AllTests.
* Change the most poor score name from <lowest> to <bad>.
Split sync committee message score in range, so lexicographic scores will not intersect with normal one.
Lexicographic scores should be below to normal scores.
* Address review comments.
Fix aggregated attestation scoring to use MAX_VALIDATORS_PER_COMMITTEE.
Fix sync committee contributions to use SYNC_SUBCOMMITTEE_SIZE.
Add getUniqueVotes test vectors.
* Post-rebase fixes.
* Address review comments.
* Return back score calculation based on actual bits length.
* AllTests modification.
Gnosis uses `MIN_EPOCHS_FOR_BLOCK_REQUESTS` = 33024, but the computed
safe minimum (that Nimbus was using) is 2304. Relax the compatibility
check to allow `MIN_EPOCHS_FOR_BLOCK_REQUESTS` above the safe minimum
and honor `config.yaml` preferences for `MIN_EPOCHS_FOR_BLOCK_REQUESTS`.
* make `MIN_EPOCHS_FOR_BLOB_SIDECARS_REQUESTS` configurable
Gnosis uses custom `MIN_EPOCHS_FOR_BLOB_SIDECARS_REQUESTS` to account
for the faster slot timing, so that blobs still remain available for
roughly the same amount of real time.
Also extend REST config endpoint with full config form `v1.4.0-beta.4`,
and extend compatibility checks when loading configs to reduce warnings.
* Add slashing database pruning to VC.
Fix GetBlockHeaderResponse object declaration (spec has been changed).
* Switch to getFinalizedBlockHeader instead.
* Fix proper sign.
Add statements.
Show pruning log statement only when pruning happens.
* Optimize and remove debugging helpers.
Capacity should be set to theoretical limit to ensure correct hash root.
Actual length may be shorter. Only use is `ExecutionPayloadForSigning`
so it doesn't matter yet in practice, but still worth fixing.
* Bump nim-eth: Change block timestamp from std.Time to distinct uint64
Also change tx.maxFeePerBlobGas from GasInt to UInt256
following Cancun latest spec
* Fix EthTime.now from func to proc due to sideeffects
* ShufflingRef approach to next-epoch validator duty calculation/prediction
* refactor action_tracker.updateActions to take ShufflingRef + beacon_proposers; refactor maybeUpdateActionTrackerNextEpoch to be separate and reused function; add actual fallback logic
* document one possible set of conditions
* check epoch participation flags and inactivity scores to ensure no penalties and MAX_EFFECTIVE_BALANCE to ensure rewards don't matter
* correctly (un)shuffle each proposer index
* remove debugging assertion
The templates for `BeaconBlock`, `BeaconBlockBody` and `BeaconState`
are the only ones using a `macro` mechanism for code generation.
This prevents using the dot-syntax style `consensusFork.BeaconFoo`
in some situations, and also tends to trigger naming conflicts,
requiring the `Type` suffix. Furthermore, the `macro` only works
for types that are re-defined in every single `ConsensusFork`.
Replacing with the simpler but more verbose approach used for other
types for consistency and to avoid the downsides of the `macro`.
Furthermore, simplify `test_fixture_sanity_blocks` to use `forks` sugar.
Directly initialize `ForkedLightClientObj` instead of separately first
setting the `kind` (initializing everything to zero) and then assigning
the forky data after that.
`Eth2NetworkMetadata` has an `incompatible` case to hold an error string
in case the loaded file is not compatible with the compile-time config.
The same can be modeled with a `Result[Eth2NetworkMetadata, string]` and
avoids followup checks for the `incompatible` case.
For symmetry with `forkyState` when using `withState`, and to avoid
problems with shadowing of `blck` when using `withBlck` in `template`,
also rename the injected `blck` to `forkyBlck`.

- https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/pull/3499

Implement spec changes to fork choice; this only affects equivocation
when multiple blocks are signed for the same slot. Regular operation
is not changed.

Currently, passing `0xc00000...` proof seems to pass `verifyProofs`.
Unsure why such a check is not necessary in spec, and also unsure
whether it is correct to reject proof at infinity, or if it could
occur, e.g., for a blob containing all 0 bytes. Weird overall...
* proper fix
To allow testing https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/issues/3466
add support for selecting fork choice version at launch. This means we
can deploy a different logic when `DENEB_FORK_EPOCH != FAR_FUTURE_EPOCH`
that won't be used on Mainnet.
* Add metadata for the Holesky network
* Add copyright banner to the new Nim module
* Working version
* Bump Chronos to fix downloading from Github
* Add checksum check of the downloaded file
* Clean up debugging code and obsolete imports
* optimize epoch transition via get_flag_index_deltas() and get_inactivity_penalty_deltas()
* directly mutate Altair info in {get,update}_flag_and_inactivity_deltas
The `is_next_sync_committee_known` helper allocates a fresh
`SyncCommittee` in the caller and `nimZeroMem`s it on each use.
Use `static` to compare against a compile-time zeroed copy instead.
This also should help reduce stack size far enough to link with Nim 2.0.
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
`SyncCommitteeMsgPool` grouped messages by their `beacon_block_root`.
This is problematic around sync committee period boundaries and forks.
Around sync committee period boundaries, members from both the current
and next sync committee may sign the same `beacon_block_root`; mixing
the signatures from both committees together is a mistake. Likewise,
around fork transitions, the `signing_root` changes, so those messages
also need to be segregated.
When an uncached `ShufflingRef` is requested, we currently replay state
which can take several seconds. Acceleration is possible by:
1. Start from any state with locked-in `get_active_validator_indices`.
Any blocks / slots applied to such a state can only affect that
result for future epochs, so are viable for querying target epoch.
`compute_activation_exit_epoch(state.slot.epoch) > target.epoch`
2. Determine highest common ancestor among `state` and `target.blck`.
At the ancestor slot, same rules re `get_active_validator_indices`.
`compute_activation_exit_epoch(ancestorSlot.epoch) > target.epoch`
3. We now have a `state` that shares history with `target.blck` up
through a common ancestor slot. Any blocks / slots that the `state`
contains, which are not part of the `target.blck` history, affect
`get_active_validator_indices` at epochs _after_ `target.epoch`.
4. Select `state.randao_mixes[N]` that is closest to common ancestor.
Either direction is fine (above / below ancestor).
5. From that RANDAO mix, mix in / out all RANDAO reveals from blocks
in-between. This is just an XOR operation, so fully reversible.
`mix = mix xor SHA256(blck.message.body.randao_reveal)`
6. Compute the attester dependent slot from `target.epoch`.
`if epoch >= 2: (target.epoch - 1).start_slot - 1 else: GENESIS_SLOT`
7. Trace back from `target.blck` to the attester dependent slot.
We now have the destination for which we want to obtain RANDAO.
8. Mix in all RANDAO reveals from blocks up through the `dependentBlck`.
Same method, no special handling necessary for epoch transitions.
9. Combine `get_active_validator_indices` from `state` at `target.epoch`
with the recovered RANDAO value at `dependentBlck` to obtain the
requested shuffling, and construct the `ShufflingRef` without replay.
* more tests and simplify logic

* fix SSZ response for `produceBlindedBlock`
In `produceBlindedBlock`, we sent the `ForkedBlindedBeaconBlock` when
requested to reply in SSZ format. However, expected result is just the
inner `ForkyBlindedBeaconBlock` together with `eth-consensus-version`.
Note: We do not use SSZ format in our VC for this endpoint at this time,
which explains why we haven't noticed earlier.
