In `Slot end`, sync duties are reported one slot too late,
because sync committee duties are determined by the next slot
instead of the current one. Address that by taking account of this.
* Add metadata for the Holesky network
* Add copyright banner to the new Nim module
* Working version
* Bump Chronos to fix downloading from Github
* Add checksum check of the downloaded file
* Clean up debugging code and obsolete imports
* optimize epoch transition via get_flag_index_deltas() and get_inactivity_penalty_deltas()
* directly mutate Altair info in {get,update}_flag_and_inactivity_deltas
The `is_next_sync_committee_known` helper allocates a fresh
`SyncCommittee` in the caller and `nimZeroMem`s it on each use.
Use `static` to compare against a compile-time zeroed copy instead.
This also should help reduce stack size far enough to link with Nim 2.0.
Nim 2.0 gets confused when compiling `all_tests`:
```
Error: undeclared identifier: 'maxLen'
candidates (edit distance, scope distance); see '--spellSuggest':
(3, 7): 'Table'
(3, 7): 'len'
(3, 7): 'max'
```
Renaming the generic parameter `U` to `maxLen` fixes this somehow.
It also increases readability to use the same name consistently.
In Nim 2.0, attempting to use `Taskpool.spawn` inside `{.async.}` `proc`
leads to `Error: cannot generate destructor for generic type: Isolated`.
Add an intermediate wrapper `proc` that performs the `spawn` operation
to workaround the problem.
From old interop tests, a mock `eth1BlockHash` was defined in `base`.
To avoid accidental use by Nimbus, move to `tests` and rename it to
`mockEth1BlockHash`.
This PR renames the existing `validator_duties` to `beacon_validators`
and in doing so, names validators running inside the beacon node process
"beacon validators" while those running the VC can be referred to as
"client validators" to disambiguate the two.
The existing `validator_duties` instead takes on a new responsibility:
as a home for logic shared between beacon and client validators - ie
code that provides consistency in implementation and behavior between
the two modes of operation.
Not only does this simplify reasoning about where to put code -it also
reduces the number of dependencies the validator client has from ~5000
to ~3000 modules (!) according to `nim genDepend` significantly reducing
compile times.
- Remove unnecessary `Defect` references
- Remove spurious `SerializationError` references
- Remove duplicate `writeValue` template in `keystore.nim`;
same implementation already exists a bit further above in same file.
Add separate log topic for `block_processor` messages.
Topic named similar to the other `_processor` modules:
- `eth2_processor` --> `gossip_eth2`
- `light_client_processor` --> `gossip_lc`
- `optimistic_processor` --> `gossip_opt`
In #4465, a regression was introduced by deleting the periodic call to
`engine_exchangeTransitionConfiguration` in the Nimbus light client.
This led to the light client never treating the EL as online and,
subsequently, not sending `engine_newPayload` requests for new blocks.
Strangely, `engine_forkchoiceUpdated` requests still make it through :)
Geth still requires both `engine_newPayload` and `fcU` to be called.
By restoring the `exchangeTransitionConfiguration` loop, `newPayload`
requests are once more issued to the EL.
When a block is introduced to the system both via REST and gossip at the
same time, we will call `storeBlock` from two locations leading to a
dupliace check race condition as we wait for the EL.
This issue may manifest in particular when using an external block
builder that itself publishes the block onto the gossip network.
* refactor enqueue flow
* simplify calling `addBlock`
* complete request manager verifier future for blobless blocks
* re-verify parent conditions before adding block
among other things, it might have gone stale or finalized between one
call and the other
every attestation is processed with a new wall time so we end up
iterating over all attestations for every attestation we queue - this is
4% of cpu time on a subscribe-all-subnets node
* remove redundant zero checks - block root must be an existing block
and therefore cannot be zero
* simplify "hasn't-voted" check to root only (isZeroMemory is dubiously
implemented for objects)
* Add support for POST /eth/v2/beacon/blocks
* More descriptive errors
* Address review feedback
* Return 500 (not 400) for a missing implementation case
We know the aggregate publickey of a fully participating sync committee.
Because participation is typically very high (>95%), it is faster to
start from that aggregate publickey and subtract the individual keys of
non-participants, than summing up all the participating pubkeys.
To obtain the correct `transactions_root` and `withdrawals_root`,
it is necessary to process execution block header. Light client updates
don't contain the correct MPT roots.
Using `create` with objects containing managed objects is broken:
https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/22341
Switch to a safer pattern based on `new+GC_ref`/`GC_unref` instead.
* 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

This PR removes a few hundred thousand temporary seq allocations during
state transition - in particular, the flag seq was allocated per
validator while committees are computed per attestation.
