* combine ncli_hash_tree_root and ncli_pretty into ncli_ssz
* disable ncli_query building by default
* fold ncli_transition into ncli_ssz and rename to ncli
* Lazy loading of crypto objects
* Try to fix incorrect field access by hiding fields but no luck. SSZ/Chronicles/macro bug?
* Fix incorrect blsValue access. was "aggregate" not "chronicles"
* Fix tests that rely on the internal BLSValue representation
* limit attestations kept in attestation pool
With fork choice updated, the attestation pool only needs to keep track
of attestations that will eventually end up in blocks - we can thus
limit the horizon of attestations that we keep more aggressively.
To get here, we expose getEpochRef which gets metadata about a
particular epochref, and make sure to populate it when a block is added
- this ensures that state rewinds during block addition are minimized.
In addition, we'll use the target root/epoch when validating
attestations - this helps minimize the number of different states that
we need to rewind to, in general.
* remove CandidateChains.justifiedState
unused
* remove BlockPools.Head object
* avoid quadratic quarantine loop
* fix
* add helper for beacon committee length (used for quickly validating
attestations)
* refactor some attestation checks to do cheap checks early
* validate attestation epoch before computing active validator set
* clean up documentation / comments
* fill state cache on demand
* avoid converting from uint64 to int, and where most feasible, int type conversion at all
* .len.uint64 -> .len64
* fix 32-bit compilation
* try keeping state_sim loop variable/bounds as int for 32-bit Azure
* len64 -> lenu64
* fork choice fixes, round 3
* introduce checkpoint tracker
* split out fork choice backend that is independent of dag
* correctly update best checkpoint to use for head selection
* correctly consider wall clock when processing attestations
* preload head history only (only one history is loaded from database
anyway)
* love the DAG
* switch to fork choice v2
also remove BlockRef.children
* fix
* don't kill the program if not connected to a bootstrap node within 30 seconds
* recover faster from loss of network connectivity
* connectWorker(): sleep 1s between dials
* launch_local_testnet.sh: increase BOOTSTRAP_TIMEOUT
* don't use metric value in program logic
* refactor some ungainly variable names
* cache beacon committee size calculation
this fixes a bug in get_validator_churn_limit as well
* fix
* make committee counts consistently uint64
mixing feels like the worst of the two worlds
- delete "tests/simulation/{data,validators}" by default, because old
validator keys can lead to a crash with a cryptic error message
- actually start the Prometheus daemon on `make eth2_network_simulation`
- kill any running Prometheus daemon on exit
- fix some shell script syntax incompatible with Bash
* remove cruft
* reenable fork choice and fix several issues
* in addForkChoice_v2, the `.error` field would be accessed even when
Result is ok
* remove workaround for invalid block structure in fork choice
* fix `tmpState` being used recursively in callback, causing state
corruption while processing attestation
* fix block callback being called twice per block
* pass state to callback to avoid unnecessary rewinding
* enable head select, fix another bug
* never use `get` without `isOk`
* log nil blockref in case blockref is nil
* add missing error checking
* use correct epoch when updating attestation message
When clearing blocks, a callback is called - this callback, if it uses
`tmpState`, will be corrupted because it's not fully up to date when the
callback is called - we thus introduce a specific state cache for this
purpose - ideally, it can be removed later when epoch caching is
improved.
Incidentally, this helps block sync speed a lot - without this state,
the block sync would ping-pong between attestation state and block state
which is costly.
hash_tree_root was turning up when running beacon_node, turns out to be
repeated hash_tree_root invocations - this pr brings them back down to
normal.
this PR caches the root of a block in the SignedBeaconBlock object -
this has the potential downside that even invalid blocks will be hashed
(as part of deserialization) - later, one could imagine delaying this
until checks have passed
there's also some cleanup of the `cat=` logs which were applied randomly
and haphazardly, and to a large degree are duplicated by other
information in the log statements - in particular, topics fulfill the
same role
