Adds a function that constructs a Merkle proof for a generalized index.
This will be used during light client sync to update light clients with
a new state (see NEXT_SYNC_COMMITTEE_INDEX / FINALIZED_ROOT_INDEX).
The phase0 and altair overloads of `makeBeaconBlock` slightly differ in
their signatures which makes using them unnecessarily verbose.
- A placeholder `sync_aggregate` argument similar to `executionPayload`
is added to the phase0 overload to match the altair signature.
- A wrapper operating on `ForkedHashedBeaconState` is introduced.
This still doesn't work properly because it leads to a change in
the "eth" ENR field of the client. Since the client uses the value
of this field to look for other nodes on the network, the change
effectively prevents us from finding peers.
There were still a few instances that used the expansion of `errReject`
instead of using the template itself. It seems that those cases were
forgotten as part of other cleanups in #2809. Done now for readability.
* simplify state fork access pattern
* fixes
* unsafeAddr needs to be dereferenced outside of case for best effect
* remove hash_tree_root of ForkedXxx (doesn't make sense)
* simplify state transition
* fix vc
* readd hash_tree_root(forkedbeaconblock)
* readd htr(fhbs) as well
...and add some protections to not hash the wrong items elsewhere
There are still a few cases with manual loops through sync subcommittees
even though an `allSyncCommittees` iterator exists. Adjusted the few
remaining instances to also use the iterator instead.
When sync committee message handling was introduced in #2830, the edge
case of the same validator being selected multiple times as part of a
sync subcommittee was not covered. Not handling that edge case makes
sync contributions have a lower-than-expected participation rate as each
sync validator is only counted up through once per subcommittee.
This patch ensures that this edge case is properly covered.
The P2P spec defines how certain error classes should be handled through
either IGNORE or REJECT verdicts. For sync committee message, the spec
defines that only the first message from each validator per subcommittee
and slot shall be accepted, the rest is ignored. However, current code
rejects those messages instead of ignoring them. Fixed to match spec.
The README file explaining gossip_processing, and the attestation_flow
docs were no longer accurate, as attestations and aggregates no longer
go through a queue (pending batching). This patch updates the docs
accordingly. It also improves some grammar and fixes some typos.
Currently there is a mix of comment formats in the various preset files.
Altair presets have a leading header line, Phase0 presets don't.
Furthermore, the Altair `minimal` header refers to `mainnet` (#2710).
Updated all of the header lines to match the spec.
The current `getStateField` implementation fails at run-time when called
on a post-Altair state. This is improved by replacing the `if` structure
with a `case` expression, which is checked for exhaustive coverage at
compile time. Care is taken to preserve the `unsafeAddr` optimization.
* Placing callbacks into strategic places.
* Initial events call implementation.
* Post rebase fixes.
* Change addSyncContribution() implementation.
* Add `attestation-sent` event.
Remove gcsafe, raises from callbacks implementations.
Move `attestation-received` fire at the end of attestation processing.
* Address review comments.
testblockutil currently fails to add test blocks to Altair state because
it assumes phase0 blocks in various places. This patch corrects this
limitation by using forked types internally. Note that existing clients
so far solely operate on phase0 blocks and should eventually be updated.
Some clients disable their metadata V1 after the Altair fork, so we are unable to ping them correctly.
This PR adds a fallback to try metadata V2 if V1 fails.
* Add parallel attestation verification
* Update tests, batchVerify doesn't use the threadpool with only single core (nim-blscurve update)
* bump nim-blscurve
* Debug info for failing eth2 test vectors
* remove submodule eth2-testnets
* verbose debugging of make failure on Windows (libbacktrace?)
* Remove CI debug mode
* initialization convention
* Fix new altair tests
When creating beacon blocks, the state needs to be advanced to the new
slot to determine the correct proposer index. In #875 a regression got
introduced that removed this logic when mocking blocks. Existing tests
failed to detect this, as they do not make use of the proposer index.
This patch re-introduces the state advancement, fixing the problem.
Currently, only the function to mock a block at next slot is exported.
A more generic function that allows specifying any slot is available but
not exported. This patch marks that function to also be exported.
The template `message` extracts fork specific data from a forked block.
However, its current implementation does not compile due to each fork
returning a different type, i.e., the generated `case` code attempts to
return different types from each branch. As the template is unused, it
is safely removed for now.
