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
* proposed structure for hf1
* refactor datatypes.nim into datatypes/{base, phase0, hf1}.nim
* hf1 is Altair
* some syncing with alpha 2
* adjust epoch processing to disambiguate access to RewardFlags
* relocate StateData to stay consistent with meaning phase 0 StateData
* passes v1.1.0 alpha 5 SSZ consensus object tests
* Altair block header test fixtures work
* fix slash_validator() so that Altair attester slashings, proposer slashings, and voluntary exit textures work
* deposit operation Altair test fixtures work
* slot sanity and all but a couple epoch transition tests switched to Altair
* attestation Altair test fixtures work
* Altair block sanity test fixtures work
* add working altair sync committee tests
* improve workarounds for sum-types-across-modules Nim bug; incorporate SignedBeaconBlock root reconstuction to SSZ byte reader
* use StateData in place of BeaconState outside state transition code
* propagate more StateData usage
* remove withStateVars().state
* wrap get_beacon_committee(BeaconState, ...) as gbc(StateData, ...)
* switch makeAttestation() to use StateData
* use StateData wrapper/dispatcher for get_committee_count_per_slot()
* convert AttestationCache.init(), weak subjectivity functions, and updateValidatorMetrics()
* add get_shuffled_active_validator_indices(StateData) and get_block_root_at_slot(StateData)
* switch makeAttestationData() to StateData
* sync AllTests-mainnet.md after rebase
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
* only deserialize attestation and aggregation gossiped signatures once
* re-indent some aggregate checks into block scope
* spelling
* remove debugging assertion
* put part of gossip validation back into block context
* attestation pool test signature loading isn't so unsafe, and exportRaw isn't free
* remove more development doAsserts; don't exportRaw in loops
* batch attestations
* Fixes (but now need to investigate the chronos 0 .. 4095 crash similar to https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2/issues/1518
* Try to remove the processing loop to no avail :/
* batch aggregates
* use resultsBuffer size for triggering deadline schedule
* pass attestation pool tests
* Introduce async gossip validators. May fix the 4096 bug (reentrancy issue?) (similar to sync unknown blocks #1518)
* Put logging at debug level, add speed info
* remove unnecessary batch info when it is known to be one
* downgrade some logs to trace level
* better comments [skip ci]
* Address most review comments
* only use ref for async proc
* fix exceptions in eth2_network
* update async exceptions in gossip_validation
* eth2_network 2nd pass
* change to sleepAsync
* Update beacon_chain/gossip_processing/batch_validation.nim
