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.

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.

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

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
Simpler module name for stuff that covers forks
* check that runtime config matches database state
* also include some assorted altair cleanups
* use "standard" genesis fork in local testnet to work around missing
runtime config support
* update validator key cache on startup
Versions prior to 1.1.0 do not write a validator key cache at all.
Versions from 1.4.0 and upwards require an immutable validator key cache
to verify blocks - normally, block verification fills the cache but that
assumes that at least one block was verified by a version that has the
key cache.
Taken together, this breaks direct upgrades from anything <1.1.0 to
1.4.0.
The fix is simply to refresh fill the cache from an existing state on
startup.
* also log serious block validation failures at info level
This refactoring puts the JSON-RPC and REST APIs on more equal footing
by renaming and moving things around, creating a separation between
client and server, and documenting what they are - the aim is to have a
simple-to-use base to start from when developing API clients, as well as
make it easier to navigate the code when looking for the legacy JSON-RPC
interface vs the new REST API.
* move REST client, serialization and supporting types to spec/eth2_apis
* REST stuff now starts with `rest_`, JSON-RPC stuff starts with `rpc_`,
more or less
* simplify imports such that there's a simple module to import for both
server and client
* map REST type and proc names to yaml spec more closely - in
particular, reuse operation and type names in `rest_types` to make
comparisons against spec more easy
* cleaner separation between client and server modules - modules common
between server and client such as `rest_types` and serialization move to
the spec folder - this allows the client to be built with less knowledge
about server internals

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
* drop yeerongpilly, add altair-devnet-0, support boot_enr.yaml
We generally send out attestations 250 ms after the block arrives.
Recent efficiency improvements have led to a slightly increased
incidence of "slot 0" issues where attestations are dropped by other
nodes because they have not yet had time to process the block due to
epoch processing taking time.
This PR mitigates the problem by increasing the window between receiving
the block and sending out attestations.
* Implement the new Altair req/resp protocols
Also fixes the altair message-id computation by providing the correct
forkdigest prefix in `isAltairTopic`.

Instead of keeping a validator key list per EpochRef, this PR introduces
a single shared validator key list in ChainDAG, and cleans up some other
ChainDAG and key-related issues.
The PR does not introduce the validator key list in the state transition
- this is because we batch-check all signatures before entering the spec
code, thus the spec code never hits the cache.
A future refactor should _probably_ remove the threadvar altogether.
There's a few other small fixes in here that make the flow easier to
read:
* fix `var ChainDAGRef` -> `ChainDAGRef`
* fix `var QuarantineRef` -> `QuarantineRef`
* consistent `dag` variable name
* avoid using threadvar pubkey cache in most cases
* better error messages in batch signature checking
* update ChainDAG.effective_balance() to use StateData; rm unused ChainDAG.getBlockByPreciseSlot()
* update get_effective_balances to avoid god object; avoid most memory allocation in Altair epoch reward and penalty processing
* don't consider legacy database when writing state - this read is slow
on kvstore
* avoid epoch transition when there's an exact match in cache already
* simplify init to only consider checkpoint states
This way we perform the expensive epoch processing before the block
arrives.
Of course, this may lead to speculative misses which in turn lead to
replays - it's likely that in the case of a miss, we'll see a replay
regardless.
* gossip_to_consensus -> block_processor (it's processing only blocks,
but not only from gossip)

This reverts commit eebc828778.
Adding a separate file turns out not to be enough. This PR reverts the
separate file change.
Another theory is that the large kvstore table causes cache thrashing -
all database connections share a common page cache which would explain
the poor performance of the separate file solution.
The V1 table structure shows great improvements in performance, but if
there's an old `kvstore` without rowid:s, these benefits are nullified:
reorgs during writes and deletes remain expensive (even if the
degradation is reduced somewhat).
This PR creates the tables in a new file instead, and uses the old file
as a read-only store - this has several interesting properties:
* the old database is left completely untouched - this guarantees that
downgrades work smooth (they'll only need to resync their missing
portions)
* starting sync after this PR means only a v1 database is created
* v0 databases stick around - no migration is performed (for now)
Future PR:s can introduce migration of the data from one database to
another - a simply copy will take hours which is downtime we want to
avoid - at that point, it might make sense to migrate straight to era
files instead.

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)
This PR decreases the lead subscription time which should help
decrease bandwidth usage and CPU making the subscription for future
aggregation happen a bit later. There's room for more tuning here,
probably.
* fix missing negation from in #2550
* fix silly bitarray issues
* decrease subnet lead subscription time
* log all subnet switching source data
* rename subnet trackers to refer to stability and aggregate subnets
* more tests
Currently, we have a bit of a convoluted flow where when sending
attestations, we start broadcasting them over gossip then pass them to
the attestation validation to include them in the local attestation pool
- it should be the other way around: we should be checking attestations
_before_ gossipping them - this serves as an additional safety net to
ensure that we don't publish junk - this becomes more important when
publishing attestations from the API.
Also, the REST API was performing its own validation meaning
attestations coming from REST would be validated twice - finally, the
JSON RPC wasn't pre-validating and would happily broadcast invalid
attestations.
* Unified attestation production pipeline with the same flow for gossip,
locally and API-produced attestations: all are now validated and entered
into the pool, then broadcast/republished
* Refactor subnet handling with specific SubnetId alias, streamlining
where subnets are computed, avoiding the need to pass around the number
of active validators
* Move some of the subnet handling code to eth2_network
* Use BitArray throughout for subnet handling
This also makes future efforts to provide metrics and logs for
attestation efficiency easier
* Export rewards from epoch transition
* Use less memory for reward calculation (bool -> set[enum], field
alignment)
* Reuse reward memory when replaying, avoiding spike
* Allow replaying any range in ncli_db benchmark
When applying a block, we'll currently compute a state root for the
state after slot processing but before block processing - this is
unnecessary when a block is being applied because the intermediate state
root is never observed.
This PR reduces the number of database queries for slashing protection
from 5 reads and 1 write to 2 reads and 1 write in the optimistic case.
In the process, it removes user-level support for writing the database
in the version 1 format in order to simplify the code flow, and prevent
code rot. In particular, the v1 format was not covered by any unit tests
and has no advantages over v2. The concrete code to read and write it
remains for now, in particular to support upgrades from v1 to v2.
The branch also removes the use of concepts which doesn't work with
checked exceptions - in particular, this highlights code that both
raises exceptions and returns error codes, which could be cleaned up in
the future.
* Cache internal validator ID
* Rely on unique index to check for trivial duplicate votes
* Combine two surround vote queries into one
* Combine API for checking and registering slashing into single function
The slashing DB is normally not a bottleneck, but may become one with
high attached validator counts.
* Introduce unittest2 and junit reports
* fix XML path
* don't combine multiple CI runs
* fixup
* public combined report also

With the introduction of batching and lazy attestation aggregation, it
no longer makes sense to enqueue attestations between the signature
check and adding them to the attestation pool - this only takes up
valuable CPU without any real benefit.
* add successfully validated attestations to attestion pool directly
* avoid copying participant list around for single-vote attestations,
pass single validator index instead
* release decompressed gossip memory earlier, specially during async
message validation
* use cooked signatures in a few more places to avoid reloads and errors
* remove some Defect-raising versions of signature-loading
* release decompressed data memory before validating message
This patch writes a full genesis state to `kvstore` if one was missing,
which fixes 1.2.0 restarting sync when upgrading from 1.1.0, or when
downgrading to a pre-1.1.0 release.
* avoid creating indexed attestation just to check signatures - above
all, don't create it when not checking signatures ;)
* avoid pointer op when adding attestation to pool
* better iterator for yielding attestations
* add metric / log for attestation packing time
This is a revamp of the attestation pool that cleans up several aspects
of attestation processing as the network grows larger and block space
becomes more precious.
The aim is to better exploit the divide between attestation subnets and
aggregations by keeping the two kinds separate until it's time to either
produce a block or aggregate. This means we're no longer eagerly
combining single-vote attestations, but rather wait until the last
moment, and then try to add singles to all aggregates, including those
coming from the network.
Importantly, the branch improves on poor aggregate quality and poor
attestation packing in cases where block space is running out.
A basic greed scoring mechanism is used to select attestations for
blocks - attestations are added based on how much many new votes they
bring to the table.
* Collect single-vote attestations separately and store these until it's
time to make aggregates
* Create aggregates based on single-vote attestations
* Select _best_ aggregate rather than _first_ aggregate when on
aggregation duty
* Top up all aggregates with singles when it's time make the attestation
cut, thus improving the chances of grabbing the best aggregates out
there
* Improve aggregation test coverage
* Improve bitseq operations
* Simplify aggregate signature creation
* Make attestation cache temporary instead of storing it in attestation
pool - most of the time, blocks are not being produced, no need to keep
the data around
* Remove redundant aggregate storage that was used only for RPC
* Use tables to avoid some linear seeks when looking up attestation data
* Fix long cleanup on large slot jumps
* Avoid some pointers
* Speed up iterating all attestations for a slot (fixes#2490)
