* 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

* add blockchain_dag altair database reading; add rollback tests; fix some unnecessary type conversions
* remove debugging scaffolding
* proposeSignedBlock() will need to be async for merge; introduce altair types to VC
* introduce immutable Altair BeaconState
* add database support for Altair blocks and states
* add tests for Altair get/put/contains/delete state
* enable blockchain_dag Altair state database storing
* properly return error on getting missing altair block
* use ForkedHashedBeaconState in StateData
* fix FAR_FUTURE_EPOCH -> slot overflow; almost always use assign()
* avoid stack allocation in maybeUpgradeStateToAltair()
* create and use dispatch functions for check_attester_slashing(), check_proposer_slashing(), and check_voluntary_exit()
* use getStateRoot() instead of various state.data.hbsPhase0.root
* remove withStateVars.hashedState(), which doesn't work as a design anymore
* introduce spec/datatypes/altair into beacon_chain_db
* fix inefficient codegen for getStateField(largeStateField)
* state_transition_slots() doesn't either need/use blocks or runtime presets
* combine process_slots(HBS)/state_transition_slots(HBS) which differ only in last-slot htr optimization
* getStateField(StateData, ...) was replaced by getStateField(ForkedHashedBeaconState, ...)
* fix rollback
* switch some state_transition(), process_slots, makeTestBlocks(), etc to use ForkedHashedBeaconState
* remove state_transition(phase0.HashedBeaconState)
* remove process_slots(phase0.HashedBeaconState)
* remove state_transition_block(phase0.HashedBeaconState)
* remove unused callWithBS(); separate case expression from if statement
* switch back from nested-ref-object construction to (ref Foo)(Bar())
* Revert "Revert "Upgrade database schema" (#2570)"
This reverts commit 6057c2ffb4.
* ssz: fix loading empty lists into existing instances
Not a problem earlier because we didn't reuse instances
* bump nim-eth
* bump nim-web3
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)
* Introduce unittest2 and junit reports
* fix XML path
* don't combine multiple CI runs
* fixup
* public combined report also

* initial immutable validator database factoring
* remove changes from chain_dag: this abstraction properly belongs in beacon_chain_db
* add merging mutable/immutable validator portions; individually test database roundtripping of immutable validators and states-sans-immutable-validators

* use stew/assign2 instead of Nim assignment
* add reading/writing of immutable validators in chaindag
* remove unused import
* replace chunked k/v store of immutable validators with per-row SQL table storage

* have ncli bench also store immutable validators
* extract some immutable-validator-specific code from the beacon chain db module
* add more rigorous database state roundtripping, with changing validator sets

* HashList.clear() -> HashList.clearCache()
* only copy incrementally necessary immutable validators
* increase strictness of test cases and fix/work around resulting HashList cache invalidation issues
* remove explanatory scaffolding

This introcudes a cache for block summaries, useful for instantiating
the block dag on startup, bringing medalla startup times down from
minutes to seconds.
This is something of a temporary band-aid that would be obsoleted by a
finalized block store.
* removed the BlockPool type and all of the proxy functions around it - passing the chain DAG and the quarantine explicitly where appropriately - they don't need to be bundled in a type
* fixed the build after the rebase
hash_tree_root was turning up when running beacon_node, turns out to be
repeated hash_tree_root invocations - this pr brings them back down to
normal.
this PR caches the root of a block in the SignedBeaconBlock object -
this has the potential downside that even invalid blocks will be hashed
(as part of deserialization) - later, one could imagine delaying this
until checks have passed
there's also some cleanup of the `cat=` logs which were applied randomly
and haphazardly, and to a large degree are duplicated by other
information in the log statements - in particular, topics fulfill the
same role
* 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
* ssz: move ref support outside
Instead of allocating ref's inside SSZ, move it to separate helper:
* makes `ref` allocations explicit
* less magic inside SSZ
* `ref` in nim generally means reference whereas SSZ was loading as
value - if a type indeed used references it would get copies instead of
references to a single value on roundtrip which is unexpected
TODO: EF tests would benefit from some refactoring since they all do the
same thing practically..
