* move file loading out of timed ncli section to focus benchmark on
deserialization rather than disk loading
* JSON loading fix included in bump, but does not practically happen
since we generally don't load hashlist from JSON
* async batch verification
When batch verification is done, the main thread is blocked reducing
concurrency.
With this PR, the new thread signalling primitive in chronos is used to
offload the full batch verification process to a separate thread
allowing the main threads to continue async operations while the other
threads verify signatures.
Similar to previous behavior, the number of ongoing batch verifications
is capped to prevent runaway resource usage.
In addition to the asynchronous processing, 3 addition changes help
drive throughput:
* A loop is used for batch accumulation: this prevents a stampede of
small batches in eager mode where both the eager and the scheduled batch
runner would pick batches off the queue, prematurely picking "fresh"
batches off the queue
* An additional small wait is introduced for small batches - this helps
create slightly larger batches which make better used of the increased
concurrency
* Up to 2 batches are scheduled to the threadpool during high pressure,
reducing startup latency for the threads
Together, these changes increase attestation verification throughput
under load up to 30%.
* fixup
* Update submodules
* fix blst build issues (and a PIC warning)
* bump

* speed up state/block loading
When loading blocks and states from db/era, we currently redundantly
check their CRC32 - for a state, this costs 50ms of loading time
presently (110mb uncompressed size) on a decent laptop.
* remove `maxDecompressedDbRecordSize` - not actually used on recent
data since we store the framed format - also, we're in luck: we blew
past the limit quite some time ago
* fix obsolete exception-based error checking
* avoid `zeroMem` when reading from era store
see https://github.com/status-im/nim-snappy/pull/22 for benchmarks
* bump snappy
* Add new REST endpoints to monitor REST server connections and new chronos metrics.
* Bump head versions of chronos and presto.
* Bump chronos with regression fix.
* Remove outdated tests which was supposed to test pipeline mode.
* Disable pipeline mode in resttest.
* Update copyright year.
* Upgrade test_signing_node to start use AsyncProcess instead of std library's osproc.
Bump chronos to check graceful shutdown.
* Update AllTests.
* Bump chronos.

* Refactor nimbus_signing_node to support Unix signals.
* Fix SN unable to close REST server properly.

* Add /reload endpoint and implementation.

* Diva protocol enhancement implementation.
* Support for driving multiple EL nodes from a single Nimbus BN
Full list of changes:
* Eth1Monitor has been renamed to ELManager to match its current
responsibilities better.
* The ELManager is no longer optional in the code (it won't have
a nil value under any circumstances).
* The support for subscribing for headers was removed as it only
worked with WebSockets and contributed significant complexity
while bringing only a very minor advantage.
* The `--web3-url` parameter has been deprecated in favor of a
new `--el` parameter. The new parameter has a reasonable default
value and supports specifying a different JWT for each connection.
Each connection can also be configured with a different set of
responsibilities (e.g. download deposits, validate blocks and/or
produce blocks). On the command-line, these properties can be
configured through URL properties stored in the #anchor part of
the URL. In TOML files, they come with a very natural syntax
(althrough the URL scheme is also supported).
* The previously scattered EL-related state and logic is now moved
to `eth1_monitor.nim` (this module will be renamed to `el_manager.nim`
in a follow-up commit). State is assigned properly either to the
`ELManager` or the to individual `ELConnection` objects where
appropriate.
The ELManager executes all Engine API requests against all attached
EL nodes, in parallel. It compares their results and if there is a
disagreement regarding the validity of a certain payload, this is
detected and the beacon node is protected from publishing a block
with a potential execution layer consensus bug in it.
The BN provides metrics per EL node for the number of successful or
failed requests for each type Engine API requests. If an EL node
goes offline and connectivity is resoted later, we report the
problem and the remedy in edge-triggered fashion.
* More progress towards implementing Deneb block production in the VC
and comparing the value of blocks produced by the EL and the builder
API.
* Adds a Makefile target for the zhejiang testnet
* Local sim impovements
* Added support for running Capella and EIP-4844 simulations
by downloading the correct version of Geth.
* Added support for using Nimbus remote signer and Web3Signer.
Use 2 out of 3 threshold signing configuration in the mainnet
configuration and regular remote signing in the minimal one.
* The local testnet simulation can now use a payload builder.
This is currently not activated in CI due to lack of automated
procedures for installing third-party relays or builders.
You are adviced to use mergemock for now, but for most realistic
results, we can create a simple builder based on the nimbus-eth1
codebase that will be able to propose transactions from the regular
network mempool.
* Start the simulation from a merged state. This would allow us
to start removing pre-merge functionality such as the gossip
subsciption logic. The commit also removes the merge-forcing
hack installed after the TTD removal.
* Consolidate all the tools used in the local simulation into a
single `ncli_testnet` binary.
Other changes:
Renamed the `EIP_4844_FORK_*` config constants to `DENEB_FORK_*` as
this matches the latest spec and it's already used in the official
Sepolia config.
* Working Makefile targets for Capella devnet2
make capella-devnet-2
make clean-capella-devnet-2
You'll need to have https://github.com/tmuxinator/tmuxinator installed.
It's available as a regular package in most Linux distributions or through
Nix or Brew on macOS.
This commit also fixes the initial hang in the Eth1 monitor in the "find
TTD block" procedure through a fix to the network metadata files which
hasn't been upstreamed yet.
Other changes:
* Disabled Geth snap sync in the simulation
When all Geth nodes are configured to run with snap sync enabled, they all
start snap sync after the first forkchoiceUpdated which causes the BNs to
skip validator duties because the EL is syncing. The snap sync never completes
due to poor connectivity between the Geth nodes in the simulation.
Introduce (optional) pruning of historical data - a pruned node will
continue to answer queries for historical data up to
`MIN_EPOCHS_FOR_BLOCK_REQUESTS` epochs, or roughly 5 months, capping
typical database usage at around 60-70gb.
To enable pruning, add `--history=prune` to the command line - on the
first start, old data will be cleared (which may take a while) - after
that, data is pruned continuously.
When pruning an existing database, the database will not shrink -
instead, the freed space is recycled as the node continues to run - to
free up space, perform a trusted node sync with a fresh database.
When switching on archive mode in a pruned node, history is retained
from that point onwards.
History pruning is scheduled to be enabled by default in a future
release.
In this PR, `minimal` mode from #4419 is not implemented meaning
retention periods for states and blocks are always the same - depending
on user demand, a future PR may implement `minimal` as well.
Since the sync committee duties are no longer updated on every slot
and previously the sync committee aggregators selection proofs were
generated during the duties update, this now resulted in the client
using stale selection proofs (they must be generated at each slot).
The fix consists of moving the selection proof generation logic in
a different function which is properly executed on each slot.
Other changes:
* The logtrace tool has been enhanced with a framework for adding
new simpler log aggregation and analysis algorithms.
The default CI testnet simulation will now ensure that the blocks
in the network have reasonable sync committee participation.
