Revert writing backfill root to database (#3215)
Introduced in #3171, it turns out we can just follow the block headers
to achieve the same effect

* leaves the constant in the code so as to avoid confusion when reading
database that had the constant written (such as the fleet nodes and
other unstable users)

Validator monitoring (#2925)
Validator monitoring based on and mostly compatible with the
implementation in Lighthouse - tracks additional logs and metrics for
specified validators so as to stay on top on performance.

The implementation works more or less the following way:
* Validator pubkeys are singled out for monitoring - these can be
running on the node or not
* For every action that the validator takes, we record steps in the
process such as messages being seen on the network or published in the
API
* When the dust settles at the end of an epoch, we report the
information from one epoch before that, which coincides with the
balances being updated - this is a tradeoff between being correct
(waiting for finalization) and providing relevant information in a
timely manner)

Cleanups (#3123)
Renames and cleanups split out from the validator monitoring branch, so
as to reduce conflict area vs other PR:s

* add constants for expected message timing
* name validators after the messages they validate, mostly, to make
grepping easier
* unify field naming of EpochInfo across forks to make cross-fork code
easier

ncli_db: add putState, putBlock (#3096)
* ncli_db: add putState, putBlock

These tools allow modifying an existing nimbus database for the purpose
of recovery or reorg, moving the head, tail and genesis to arbitrary
points.

* remove potentially expensive `putState` in `BeaconStateDB`
* introduce `latest_block_root` which computes the root of the latest
applied block from the `latest_block_header` field (instead of passing
it in separately)
* avoid some unnecessary BeaconState copies during init
* discover https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/19094
* prefer `HashedBeaconState` in a few places to avoid recomputing state
root
* fetch latest block root from state when creating blocks
* harden `get_beacon_proposer_index` against invalid slots and document
* move random spec function tests to `test_spec.nim`
* avoid unnecessary state root computation before block proposal

altair fork handling cleanups (#3050)
* fix stack overflow crash in REST/debug/getStateV2
* introduce `ForkyXxx` for generic type matching of `Xxx` across
branches (SomeHashedBeaconState -> ForkyHashedBeaconState et al) -
`Some` is already used for other types of type classes
* consolidate function naming in BeaconChainDB, use some generics
* import `forks.nim` from other spec modules and move `Forked*` helpers
around to resolve circular imports
* remove `ForkedBeaconState`, use `ForkedHashedBeaconState` throughout
(less data shuffling between the types)
* fix several cases of states being stored on stack in tests, causing
random failures on some platforms
* remove reading json support from ncli - this should be ported to the
rest json reading instead (doesn't currently work because stack sizes)

reward accounting for altair+ (#2981)
Similar to the existing `RewardInfo`, this PR adds the infrastructure
needed to export epoch processing information from altair+. Because
accounting is done somewhat differently, the PR uses a fork-specific
object to extrct the information in order to make the cost on the spec
side low.

* RewardInfo -> EpochInfo, ForkedEpochInfo
* use array for computing new sync committee
* avoid repeated total active balance computations in block processing
* simplify proposer index check
* simplify epoch transition tests
* pre-compute base increment and reuse in epoch processing, and a few
other small optimizations

This PR introduces the type and does the heavy lifting in terms of
refactoring - the tools that use the accounting will need separate PR:s
(as well as refinements to the exportred information)

disentangle eth2 types from the ssz library (#2785)
* 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

rework spec imports (#2779)
The spec imports are a mess to work with, so this branch cleans them up
a bit to ensure that we avoid generic sandwitches and that importing
stuff generally becomes easier.

* reexport crypto/digest/presets because these are part of the public
symbol set of the rest of the spec types
* don't export `merge` types from `base` - this causes circular deps
* fix circular deps in `ssz/spec_types` - this is the first step in
disentangling ssz from spec
* be explicit about phase0 vs altair - longer term, `altair` will become
the "natural" type set, then merge and so on, so no point in giving
`phase0` special preferential treatment

Implement split preset/config support (#2710)
* 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

2021-05-17 06:34:44 +00:00
Jacek Sieka 22ddf74752 Upgrade database schema
The `kvstore` design we're using now turns out to not be the best way to
use `sqlite` - in particular, there are some significant benefits to
using rowid in certain situations and to keep data in separate tables.

With this branch, there are massive improvements in startup time
(seconds instead of minutes) and state/block storage and pruning times
(milliseconds instead of seconds) - these improvements can in particular
be seen on slow drives and translate directly into better attestation
performance.

* update kvstore to new keyspace design
* remove `DirStoreRef` and the hidden `--state-db-kind` option - this
was an experiment to store large blobs in files, but with the new
kvstore, there's no compelling reason to do so
* remove `DbMap` - unused and would need updating for new keyspace
design
* introduce separate tables for each data type (blocks, states etc)
* remove "WITHOUT ROWID" pessimization for tables with large blobs
* close DbSeq statements explicitly (and earlier)
* store beacon block summaries in separate table, without SSZ
compression and load them all with single query on startup
* stop storing backwards compat full states
* mark genesis beacon block as trusted
* avoid faststreams when loading SSZ data
* remove `DisagreementBehavior` (unused)

e2store: add era format (#2382)
Era files contain 8192 blocks and a state corresponding to the length of
the array holding block roots in the state, meaning that each block is
verifiable using the pubkeys and block roots from the state. Of course,
one would need to know the root of the state as well, which is available
in the first block of the _next_ file - or known from outside.

This PR also adds an implementation to write e2s, e2i and era files, as
well as a python script to inspect them.

All in all, the format is very similar to what goes on in the network
requests meaning it can trivially serve as a backing format for serving
said requests.

Mainnet, up to the first 671k slots, take up 3.5gb - in each era file,
the BeaconState contributes about 9mb at current validator set sizes, up
from ~3mb in the early blocks, for a grand total of ~558mb for the 82 eras
tested - this overhead could potentially be calculated but one would lose
the ability to verify individual blocks (eras could still be verified using
historical roots).

Fork choice fixes 5 (#1381)
* 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
