* collect all epochrefs in specific blocks to make them easier to find
and to avoid lots of small seqs
* reuse validator key databases more aggressively by comparing keys
* make state cache available from within `withState`
* make epochRef available from within onBlockAdded callback
* integrate getEpochInfo into block resolution and epoch ref logic such
that epochrefs are created when blocks are added to pool or lazily when
needed by a getEpochRef
* fill state cache better from EpochRef, speeding up replay and
validation
* store epochRef in specific blocks to make them easier to find and
reuse
* fix database corruption when state is saved while replaying quarantine
* replay slots fully from block pool before processing state
* compare bls values more smartly
* store epoch state without block applied in database - it's recommended
to resync the node!
this branch will drastically speed up processing in times of long
non-finality, as well as cut memory usage by 10x during the recent
medalla madness.
* Bump BLSCurve
* Use unified aggregation API
* use new blscurve with unified aggregate API
* bump
* fix toRaw
* replace state_sim combine with AggregateSignature
* Fix 32-bit
* Fix 32-bit for real and test deactivating ccache for fno-tree-lopp-vectorize flag
* change compilation switches to narrow down Linux issue
* Use -fno-tree-vectorize to disable both tree-loop-vectorize and tree-slp-vectorize
* blscurve now disables both Loop and SLP vectorization
* Add tests for the miracl/milagro fallback
* Travis has max log size of 4MB
* Test with Miracl in the finalization test
* fix state_sim log level
* Coment out the slow fallback tests
* 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
* cleanups
* fix ncli state root check flag
* add block dump to ncli_db
* limit ncli_db benchmark length
* tone down finalization logs
* introduce trusted blocks
We only store blocks whose signature we've verified in the database - as
such, there's no need to check it again, and most importantly, no need
to deserialize the signature when loading from database.
50x startup time improvement, 200x block load time improvement.
* fix rewinding when deposits have invalid signature
* speed up ancestor iteration by avoiding copy
* avoid deserializing signatures for trusted data
* load blocks lazily when rewinding (less memory used)
* chronicles workarounds
* document trustedbeaconblock
* collect signature production and verificaiton in one place
Signatures are made over data and domain - here we collect all such
activities in one place.
Also:
* security: fix cast-before-range-check
* log block/attestation verification consistently
* run block verification based on `getProposer` in its own history
* clean up some unused stuff
* import
* missing raises
* reorder ssz
* split into hash_trees and ssz_serialization, roughly, for hashing and
IO
* move bitseqs into ssz (from stew)
* clean up imports
* docs, imports
* crypto: cleanup
* fix several Defect-on-user-input
* make crypto interface more similar to secp
* use `crypto.nim` in all of nbc
* digest: raises
* fix
* vendor
* Initial implementation of runtime bls skipping.
Add libnfuzz skipBLSValidation handling, check that it propagates.
* Rename skipBLSValidation -> skipBlsValidation, start skipStateRootValidation
* Replace skipValidation flags with more granular flags.
Also added skipBlockParentRootValidation flag
Mainly replaced with skipBlsValidation but also StateRoot or
BlockParentRootValidation flags where appropriate.
* Adjust interop test to pass when skipping merkle validation.
* Stop skipping validation for mainchain_monitor.
* Remove comment.
* Also skipMerkleValidation for test_beacon_chain_db.
