Introduces a new library for syncing using libp2p based light client
sync protocol, and adds a new `nimbus_light_client` executable that uses
this library for syncing. The new executable emits log messages when
new beacon block headers are received, and is integrated into testing.
Incorporates the latest changes to the light client sync protocol based
on Devconnect AMS feedback. Note that this breaks compatibility with the
previous prototype, due to changes to data structures and endpoints.
See https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/pull/2802
Other changes:
* logtrace can now verify sync committee messages and contributions
* Many unnecessary use of pairs() have been removed for consistency
* Map 40x BN response codes to BeaconNodeStatus.Incompatible in the VC
* use MAX_CHUNK_SIZE_BELLATRIX for signed Bellatrix blocks
* Update beacon_chain/networking/eth2_network.nim

This PR makes the necessary adjustments to deal with the revamped snappy
API.
In practical terms for nimbus-eth2, there are performance increases to
gossip processing, database reading and writing as well as era file
processing. Exporting `.era` files for example, a snappy-heavy
operation, almost halves in total processing time:

* `gnosis-chain` -> `gnosis`
Use same name as LH/Teku throughout
* fixes#3504
* fixes large stack temporary that can cause crashes during genesis
detection
Some upstream repos still need fixes, but this gets us close enough that
style hints can be enabled by default.
In general, "canonical" spellings are preferred even if they violate
nep-1 - this applies in particular to spec-related stuff like
`genesis_validators_root` which appears throughout the codebase.
The `pyrmont` testnet has been discontinued.
For experiments, it's still possible to run pyrmont nodes by passing a
genesis/config, but this PR removes the bundled `--network:pyrmont`
option.
* update docs
* remove empty docs
* remove obsolete `eth2-stats` page
This file is not actually used / useful - should metadata persistence
support be added in the future, it needs to be done with a new file such
that downgrades, that have the TODO logic unimplemented, don't break.
The pre-release light client sync protocol defines additional Req/Resp
messages to be made available when `--serve-light-client-data` is set.
This patch extends the `{.libp2pProtocol.}` pragma with an optional
parameter to tag such light client sync protocol specific messages.
The corresponding protocols are only selectively registered with libp2p.
The `p2p-interface.md` spec defines a `ResourceUnavailable` error to
return in situations where data that exists on the network is locally
unavailable, e.g., when a block within `MIN_EPOCHS_FOR_BLOCK_REQUESTS`
is requested by `BeaconBlocksByRange` but cannot be provided. This patch
adds support for that additional error code.
* Support for Gnosis Chain
`make gnosis-chain-build` will build the Nimbus gnosis chain binary,
stored in `build/nimbus_beacon_node_for_gnosis_chain`.
`make gnosis-chain` will connect to the network.
Other changes:
* Restore compilation with -d:has_genesis_detection
* Removed Makefile target related to testnet0 and testnet1
* Added more debug logging for failed peer handshakes
* Report misconfigured builds which try to embed network metadata
that is incompatible with the currently selected const preset.
* Don't bundle network metadata in minimal builds, as they are not compatible
* harden and speed up block sync
The `GetBlockBy*` server implementation currently reads SSZ bytes from
database, deserializes them into a Nim object then serializes them right
back to SSZ - here, we eliminate the deser/ser steps and send the bytes
straight to the network. Unfortunately, the snappy recoding must still
be done because of differences in framing.
Also, the quota system makes one giant request for quota right before
sending all blocks - this means that a 1024 block request will be
"paused" for a long time, then all blocks will be sent at once causing a
spike in database reads which potentially will see the reading client
time out before any block is sent.
Finally, on the reading side we make several copies of blocks as they
travel through various queues - this was not noticeable before but
becomes a problem in two cases: bellatrix blocks are up to 10mb (instead
of .. 30-40kb) and when backfilling, we process a lot more of them a lot
faster.
* fix status comparisons for nodes syncing from genesis (#3327 was a bit
too hard)
* don't hit database at all for post-altair slots in GetBlock v1
requests
- Request metadata_v2 (altair) by default instead of the v1
- Change the metadata pinger to a 3 failure-then-kick, instead of being time based
- Update kicker scorer to take into account topics which we're not subscribed to, to be sure that we will be able to publish correctly
- Add some metrics to give "fanout" health (in the same spirit of mesh health)
* Harden handling of unviable forks
In our current handling of unviable forks, we allow peers to send us
blocks that come from a different fork - this is not necessarily an
error as it can happen naturally, but it does open up the client to a
case where the same unviable fork keeps getting requested - rather than
allowing this to happen, we'll now give these peers a small negative
score - if it keeps happening, we'll disconnect them.
* keep track of unviable forks in quarantine, to avoid filling it with
known junk
* collect peer scores in single module
* descore peers when they send unviable blocks during sync
* don't give score for duplicate blocks
* increase quarantine size to a level that allows finality to happen
under optimal conditions - this helps avoid downloading the same blocks
over and over in case of an unviable fork
* increase initial score for new peers to make room for one more failure
before disconnection
* log and score invalid/unviable blocks in requestmanager too
* avoid ChainDAG dependency in quarantine
* reject gossip blocks with unviable parent
* continue processing unviable sync blocks in order to build unviable
dag
* docs
* Update beacon_chain/consensus_object_pools/block_pools_types.nim
* add unviable queue test
The new format is based on compressed CSV files in two channels:
* Detailed per-epoch data
* Aggregated "daily" summaries
The use of append-only CSV file speeds up significantly the epoch
processing speed during data generation. The use of compression
results in smaller storage requirements overall. The use of the
aggregated files has a very minor cost in both CPU and storage,
but leads to near interactive speed for report generation.
Other changes:
- Implemented support for graceful shut downs to avoid corrupting
the saved files.
- Fixed a memory leak caused by lacking `StateCache` clean up on each
iteration.
- Addressed review comments
- Moved the rewards and penalties calculation code in a separate module
Required invasive changes to existing modules:
- The `data` field of the `KeyedBlockRef` type is made public to be used
by the validator rewards monitor's Chain DAG update procedure.
- The `getForkedBlock` procedure from the `blockchain_dag.nim` module
is made public to be used by the validator rewards monitor's Chain DAG
update procedure.
* Harden CommitteeIndex, SubnetId, SyncSubcommitteeIndex
Harden the use of `CommitteeIndex` et al to prevent future issues by
using a distinct type, then validating before use in several cases -
datatypes in spec are kept simple though so that invalid data still can
be read.
* fix invalid epoch used in REST
`/eth/v1/beacon/states/{state_id}/committees` committee length (could
return invalid data)
* normalize some variable names
* normalize committee index loops
* fix `RestAttesterDuty` to use `uint64` for `validator_committee_index`
* validate `CommitteeIndex` on ingress in REST API
* update rest rules with stricter parsing
* better REST serializers
* save lots of memory by not using `zip` ...at least a few bytes!
* Tune getLowSubnets
* Also aim for dHigh peers in gossipsub
* Apply suggestions from code review

There are a few locations in the code that compare the current epoch to
the various FORK_EPOCH constants and branch off into fork-specific code.
When a new fork is introduced, it is sometimes forgotten to update all
of those branch locations. This patch introduces a compile-time check
that ensures that all branches need to be covered exhaustively. This is
done by replacing if-elif structures with case expressions.
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.
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.

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
* 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
* drop yeerongpilly, add altair-devnet-0, support boot_enr.yaml
* Implement the new Altair req/resp protocols
Also fixes the altair message-id computation by providing the correct
forkdigest prefix in `isAltairTopic`.

* remove false OnBlockAdded dependency on phase.HashedBeaconState
* introduce altair data types into block_clearance; update some alpha.6 spec refs to alpha.7; add get_active_validator_indices_len ForkedHashedBeaconState wrapper
* switch many modules from using datatypes (with phase0 states/blocks) to datatypes/base (fork-independent); update spec refs from alpha.6 to alpha.7 and remove rm'd G2_POINT_AT_INFINITY
* switch more modules from using datatypes (with phase0 states/blocks) to datatypes/base (fork-independent); update spec refs from alpha.6 to alpha.7
* remove unnecessary phase0-only wrapper of get_attesting_indices(); allow signatures_batch to process either fork; remove O(n^2) nested loop in process_inactivity_updates(); add altair support to getAttestationsforTestBlock()
* add Altair versions of asSigVerified(), asTrusted(), and makeBeaconBlock()
* fix spec URL to be Altair for Altair makeBeaconBlock()
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
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
* 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

Since quite a lot of additional procs were now compiled as generics, this lead to compiler bugs that had
to be worked-around:
* The `Domain` type was renamed to `Eth2Domain` to avoid compilation errors
due to conflicts with `nativesockets.Domain`.
Similarly, `eth2_network.KeyPair` was renamed to `NetKeyPair`.
* A new more robust version of `hexToByteArray` was added to stew
