Fix head tracker concurrency bugs (#1771) ## Issue Addressed Closes #1557 ## Proposed Changes Modify the pruning algorithm so that it mutates the head-tracker _before_ committing the database transaction to disk, and _only if_ all the heads to be removed are still present in the head-tracker (i.e. no concurrent mutations). In the process of writing and testing this I also had to make a few other changes: * Use internal mutability for all `BeaconChainHarness` functions (namely the RNG and the graffiti), in order to enable parallel calls (see testing section below). * Disable logging in harness tests unless the `test_logger` feature is turned on And chose to make some clean-ups: * Delete the `NullMigrator` * Remove type-based configuration for the migrator in favour of runtime config (simpler, less duplicated code) * Use the non-blocking migrator unless the blocking migrator is required. In the store tests we need the blocking migrator because some tests make asserts about the state of the DB after the migration has run. * Rename `validators_keypairs` -> `validator_keypairs` in the `BeaconChainHarness` ## Testing To confirm that the fix worked, I wrote a test using [Hiatus](https://crates.io/crates/hiatus), which can be found here: https://github.com/michaelsproul/lighthouse/tree/hiatus-issue-1557 That test can't be merged because it inserts random breakpoints everywhere, but if you check out that branch you can run the test with: ``` $ cd beacon_node/beacon_chain $ cargo test --release --test parallel_tests --features test_logger ``` It should pass, and the log output should show: ``` WARN Pruning deferred because of a concurrent mutation, message: this is expected only very rarely! ``` ## Additional Info This is a backwards-compatible change with no impact on consensus.

Use async code when interacting with EL (#3244) ## Overview This rather extensive PR achieves two primary goals: 1. Uses the finalized/justified checkpoints of fork choice (FC), rather than that of the head state. 2. Refactors fork choice, block production and block processing to `async` functions. Additionally, it achieves: - Concurrent forkchoice updates to the EL and cache pruning after a new head is selected. - Concurrent "block packing" (attestations, etc) and execution payload retrieval during block production. - Concurrent per-block-processing and execution payload verification during block processing. - The `Arc`-ification of `SignedBeaconBlock` during block processing (it's never mutated, so why not?): - I had to do this to deal with sending blocks into spawned tasks. - Previously we were cloning the beacon block at least 2 times during each block processing, these clones are either removed or turned into cheaper `Arc` clones. - We were also `Box`-ing and un-`Box`-ing beacon blocks as they moved throughout the networking crate. This is not a big deal, but it's nice to avoid shifting things between the stack and heap. - Avoids cloning *all the blocks* in *every chain segment* during sync. - It also has the potential to clean up our code where we need to pass an *owned* block around so we can send it back in the case of an error (I didn't do much of this, my PR is already big enough :sweat_smile:) - The `BeaconChain::HeadSafetyStatus` struct was removed. It was an old relic from prior merge specs. For motivation for this change, see https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/3244#issuecomment-1160963273 ## Changes to `canonical_head` and `fork_choice` Previously, the `BeaconChain` had two separate fields: ``` canonical_head: RwLock<Snapshot>, fork_choice: RwLock<BeaconForkChoice> ``` Now, we have grouped these values under a single struct: ``` canonical_head: CanonicalHead { cached_head: RwLock<Arc<Snapshot>>, fork_choice: RwLock<BeaconForkChoice> } ``` Apart from ergonomics, the only *actual* change here is wrapping the canonical head snapshot in an `Arc`. This means that we no longer need to hold the `cached_head` (`canonical_head`, in old terms) lock when we want to pull some values from it. This was done to avoid deadlock risks by preventing functions from acquiring (and holding) the `cached_head` and `fork_choice` locks simultaneously. ## Breaking Changes ### The `state` (root) field in the `finalized_checkpoint` SSE event Consider the scenario where epoch `n` is just finalized, but `start_slot(n)` is skipped. There are two state roots we might in the `finalized_checkpoint` SSE event: 1. The state root of the finalized block, which is `get_block(finalized_checkpoint.root).state_root`. 4. The state root at slot of `start_slot(n)`, which would be the state from (1), but "skipped forward" through any skip slots. Previously, Lighthouse would choose (2). However, we can see that when [Teku generates that event](https://github.com/ConsenSys/teku/blob/de2b2801c89ef5abf983d6bf37867c37fc47121f/data/beaconrestapi/src/main/java/tech/pegasys/teku/beaconrestapi/handlers/v1/events/EventSubscriptionManager.java#L171-L182) it uses [`getStateRootFromBlockRoot`](https://github.com/ConsenSys/teku/blob/de2b2801c89ef5abf983d6bf37867c37fc47121f/data/provider/src/main/java/tech/pegasys/teku/api/ChainDataProvider.java#L336-L341) which uses (1). I have switched Lighthouse from (2) to (1). I think it's a somewhat arbitrary choice between the two, where (1) is easier to compute and is consistent with Teku. ## Notes for Reviewers I've renamed `BeaconChain::fork_choice` to `BeaconChain::recompute_head`. Doing this helped ensure I broke all previous uses of fork choice and I also find it more descriptive. It describes an action and can't be confused with trying to get a reference to the `ForkChoice` struct. I've changed the ordering of SSE events when a block is received. It used to be `[block, finalized, head]` and now it's `[block, head, finalized]`. It was easier this way and I don't think we were making any promises about SSE event ordering so it's not "breaking". I've made it so fork choice will run when it's first constructed. I did this because I wanted to have a cached version of the last call to `get_head`. Ensuring `get_head` has been run *at least once* means that the cached values doesn't need to wrapped in an `Option`. This was fairly simple, it just involved passing a `slot` to the constructor so it knows *when* it's being run. When loading a fork choice from the store and a slot clock isn't handy I've just used the `slot` that was saved in the `fork_choice_store`. That seems like it would be a faithful representation of the slot when we saved it. I added the `genesis_time: u64` to the `BeaconChain`. It's small, constant and nice to have around. Since we're using FC for the fin/just checkpoints, we no longer get the `0x00..00` roots at genesis. You can see I had to remove a work-around in `ef-tests` here: b56be3bc2. I can't find any reason why this would be an issue, if anything I think it'll be better since the genesis-alias has caught us out a few times (0x00..00 isn't actually a real root). Edit: I did find a case where the `network` expected the 0x00..00 alias and patched it here: 3f26ac3e2. You'll notice a lot of changes in tests. Generally, tests should be functionally equivalent. Here are the things creating the most diff-noise in tests: - Changing tests to be `tokio::async` tests. - Adding `.await` to fork choice, block processing and block production functions. - Refactor of the `canonical_head` "API" provided by the `BeaconChain`. E.g., `chain.canonical_head.cached_head()` instead of `chain.canonical_head.read()`. - Wrapping `SignedBeaconBlock` in an `Arc`. - In the `beacon_chain/tests/block_verification`, we can't use the `lazy_static` `CHAIN_SEGMENT` variable anymore since it's generated with an async function. We just generate it in each test, not so efficient but hopefully insignificant. I had to disable `rayon` concurrent tests in the `fork_choice` tests. This is because the use of `rayon` and `block_on` was causing a panic. Co-authored-by: Mac L <mjladson@pm.me>

In the process of writing and testing this I also had to make a few other changes: * Use internal mutability for all `BeaconChainHarness` functions (namely the RNG and the graffiti), in order to enable parallel calls (see testing section below). * Disable logging in harness tests unless the `test_logger` feature is turned on And chose to make some clean-ups: * Delete the `NullMigrator` * Remove type-based configuration for the migrator in favour of runtime config (simpler, less duplicated code) * Use the non-blocking migrator unless the blocking migrator is required. In the store tests we need the blocking migrator because some tests make asserts about the state of the DB after the migration has run. * Rename `validators_keypairs` -> `validator_keypairs` in the `BeaconChainHarness` ## Testing To confirm that the fix worked, I wrote a test using [Hiatus](https://crates.io/crates/hiatus), which can be found here: https://github.com/michaelsproul/lighthouse/tree/hiatus-issue-1557 That test can't be merged because it inserts random breakpoints everywhere, but if you check out that branch you can run the test with: ``` $ cd beacon_node/beacon_chain $ cargo test --release --test parallel_tests --features test_logger ``` It should pass, and the log output should show: ``` WARN Pruning deferred because of a concurrent mutation, message: this is expected only very rarely! ``` ## Additional Info This is a backwards-compatible change with no impact on consensus.

Use async code when interacting with EL (#3244) ## Overview This rather extensive PR achieves two primary goals: 1. Uses the finalized/justified checkpoints of fork choice (FC), rather than that of the head state. 2. Refactors fork choice, block production and block processing to `async` functions. Additionally, it achieves: - Concurrent forkchoice updates to the EL and cache pruning after a new head is selected. - Concurrent "block packing" (attestations, etc) and execution payload retrieval during block production. - Concurrent per-block-processing and execution payload verification during block processing. - The `Arc`-ification of `SignedBeaconBlock` during block processing (it's never mutated, so why not?): - I had to do this to deal with sending blocks into spawned tasks. - Previously we were cloning the beacon block at least 2 times during each block processing, these clones are either removed or turned into cheaper `Arc` clones. - We were also `Box`-ing and un-`Box`-ing beacon blocks as they moved throughout the networking crate. This is not a big deal, but it's nice to avoid shifting things between the stack and heap. - Avoids cloning *all the blocks* in *every chain segment* during sync. - It also has the potential to clean up our code where we need to pass an *owned* block around so we can send it back in the case of an error (I didn't do much of this, my PR is already big enough :sweat_smile:) - The `BeaconChain::HeadSafetyStatus` struct was removed. It was an old relic from prior merge specs. For motivation for this change, see https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/3244#issuecomment-1160963273 ## Changes to `canonical_head` and `fork_choice` Previously, the `BeaconChain` had two separate fields: ``` canonical_head: RwLock<Snapshot>, fork_choice: RwLock<BeaconForkChoice> ``` Now, we have grouped these values under a single struct: ``` canonical_head: CanonicalHead { cached_head: RwLock<Arc<Snapshot>>, fork_choice: RwLock<BeaconForkChoice> } ``` Apart from ergonomics, the only *actual* change here is wrapping the canonical head snapshot in an `Arc`. This means that we no longer need to hold the `cached_head` (`canonical_head`, in old terms) lock when we want to pull some values from it. This was done to avoid deadlock risks by preventing functions from acquiring (and holding) the `cached_head` and `fork_choice` locks simultaneously. ## Breaking Changes ### The `state` (root) field in the `finalized_checkpoint` SSE event Consider the scenario where epoch `n` is just finalized, but `start_slot(n)` is skipped. There are two state roots we might in the `finalized_checkpoint` SSE event: 1. The state root of the finalized block, which is `get_block(finalized_checkpoint.root).state_root`. 4. The state root at slot of `start_slot(n)`, which would be the state from (1), but "skipped forward" through any skip slots. Previously, Lighthouse would choose (2). However, we can see that when [Teku generates that event](https://github.com/ConsenSys/teku/blob/de2b2801c89ef5abf983d6bf37867c37fc47121f/data/beaconrestapi/src/main/java/tech/pegasys/teku/beaconrestapi/handlers/v1/events/EventSubscriptionManager.java#L171-L182) it uses [`getStateRootFromBlockRoot`](https://github.com/ConsenSys/teku/blob/de2b2801c89ef5abf983d6bf37867c37fc47121f/data/provider/src/main/java/tech/pegasys/teku/api/ChainDataProvider.java#L336-L341) which uses (1). I have switched Lighthouse from (2) to (1). I think it's a somewhat arbitrary choice between the two, where (1) is easier to compute and is consistent with Teku. ## Notes for Reviewers I've renamed `BeaconChain::fork_choice` to `BeaconChain::recompute_head`. Doing this helped ensure I broke all previous uses of fork choice and I also find it more descriptive. It describes an action and can't be confused with trying to get a reference to the `ForkChoice` struct. I've changed the ordering of SSE events when a block is received. It used to be `[block, finalized, head]` and now it's `[block, head, finalized]`. It was easier this way and I don't think we were making any promises about SSE event ordering so it's not "breaking". I've made it so fork choice will run when it's first constructed. I did this because I wanted to have a cached version of the last call to `get_head`. Ensuring `get_head` has been run *at least once* means that the cached values doesn't need to wrapped in an `Option`. This was fairly simple, it just involved passing a `slot` to the constructor so it knows *when* it's being run. When loading a fork choice from the store and a slot clock isn't handy I've just used the `slot` that was saved in the `fork_choice_store`. That seems like it would be a faithful representation of the slot when we saved it. I added the `genesis_time: u64` to the `BeaconChain`. It's small, constant and nice to have around. Since we're using FC for the fin/just checkpoints, we no longer get the `0x00..00` roots at genesis. You can see I had to remove a work-around in `ef-tests` here: b56be3bc2. I can't find any reason why this would be an issue, if anything I think it'll be better since the genesis-alias has caught us out a few times (0x00..00 isn't actually a real root). Edit: I did find a case where the `network` expected the 0x00..00 alias and patched it here: 3f26ac3e2. You'll notice a lot of changes in tests. Generally, tests should be functionally equivalent. Here are the things creating the most diff-noise in tests: - Changing tests to be `tokio::async` tests. - Adding `.await` to fork choice, block processing and block production functions. - Refactor of the `canonical_head` "API" provided by the `BeaconChain`. E.g., `chain.canonical_head.cached_head()` instead of `chain.canonical_head.read()`. - Wrapping `SignedBeaconBlock` in an `Arc`. - In the `beacon_chain/tests/block_verification`, we can't use the `lazy_static` `CHAIN_SEGMENT` variable anymore since it's generated with an async function. We just generate it in each test, not so efficient but hopefully insignificant. I had to disable `rayon` concurrent tests in the `fork_choice` tests. This is because the use of `rayon` and `block_on` was causing a panic. Co-authored-by: Mac L <mjladson@pm.me>

This was fairly simple, it just involved passing a `slot` to the constructor so it knows *when* it's being run. When loading a fork choice from the store and a slot clock isn't handy I've just used the `slot` that was saved in the `fork_choice_store`. That seems like it would be a faithful representation of the slot when we saved it. I added the `genesis_time: u64` to the `BeaconChain`. It's small, constant and nice to have around. Since we're using FC for the fin/just checkpoints, we no longer get the `0x00..00` roots at genesis. You can see I had to remove a work-around in `ef-tests` here: b56be3bc2. I can't find any reason why this would be an issue, if anything I think it'll be better since the genesis-alias has caught us out a few times (0x00..00 isn't actually a real root). Edit: I did find a case where the `network` expected the 0x00..00 alias and patched it here: 3f26ac3e2. You'll notice a lot of changes in tests. Generally, tests should be functionally equivalent. Here are the things creating the most diff-noise in tests: - Changing tests to be `tokio::async` tests. - Adding `.await` to fork choice, block processing and block production functions. - Refactor of the `canonical_head` "API" provided by the `BeaconChain`. E.g., `chain.canonical_head.cached_head()` instead of `chain.canonical_head.read()`. - Wrapping `SignedBeaconBlock` in an `Arc`. - In the `beacon_chain/tests/block_verification`, we can't use the `lazy_static` `CHAIN_SEGMENT` variable anymore since it's generated with an async function. We just generate it in each test, not so efficient but hopefully insignificant. I had to disable `rayon` concurrent tests in the `fork_choice` tests. This is because the use of `rayon` and `block_on` was causing a panic. Co-authored-by: Mac L <mjladson@pm.me>

Use async code when interacting with EL (#3244) ## Overview This rather extensive PR achieves two primary goals: 1. Uses the finalized/justified checkpoints of fork choice (FC), rather than that of the head state. 2. Refactors fork choice, block production and block processing to `async` functions. Additionally, it achieves: - Concurrent forkchoice updates to the EL and cache pruning after a new head is selected. - Concurrent "block packing" (attestations, etc) and execution payload retrieval during block production. - Concurrent per-block-processing and execution payload verification during block processing. - The `Arc`-ification of `SignedBeaconBlock` during block processing (it's never mutated, so why not?): - I had to do this to deal with sending blocks into spawned tasks. - Previously we were cloning the beacon block at least 2 times during each block processing, these clones are either removed or turned into cheaper `Arc` clones. - We were also `Box`-ing and un-`Box`-ing beacon blocks as they moved throughout the networking crate. This is not a big deal, but it's nice to avoid shifting things between the stack and heap. - Avoids cloning *all the blocks* in *every chain segment* during sync. - It also has the potential to clean up our code where we need to pass an *owned* block around so we can send it back in the case of an error (I didn't do much of this, my PR is already big enough :sweat_smile:) - The `BeaconChain::HeadSafetyStatus` struct was removed. It was an old relic from prior merge specs. For motivation for this change, see https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/3244#issuecomment-1160963273 ## Changes to `canonical_head` and `fork_choice` Previously, the `BeaconChain` had two separate fields: ``` canonical_head: RwLock<Snapshot>, fork_choice: RwLock<BeaconForkChoice> ``` Now, we have grouped these values under a single struct: ``` canonical_head: CanonicalHead { cached_head: RwLock<Arc<Snapshot>>, fork_choice: RwLock<BeaconForkChoice> } ``` Apart from ergonomics, the only *actual* change here is wrapping the canonical head snapshot in an `Arc`. This means that we no longer need to hold the `cached_head` (`canonical_head`, in old terms) lock when we want to pull some values from it. This was done to avoid deadlock risks by preventing functions from acquiring (and holding) the `cached_head` and `fork_choice` locks simultaneously. ## Breaking Changes ### The `state` (root) field in the `finalized_checkpoint` SSE event Consider the scenario where epoch `n` is just finalized, but `start_slot(n)` is skipped. There are two state roots we might in the `finalized_checkpoint` SSE event: 1. The state root of the finalized block, which is `get_block(finalized_checkpoint.root).state_root`. 4. The state root at slot of `start_slot(n)`, which would be the state from (1), but "skipped forward" through any skip slots. Previously, Lighthouse would choose (2). However, we can see that when [Teku generates that event](https://github.com/ConsenSys/teku/blob/de2b2801c89ef5abf983d6bf37867c37fc47121f/data/beaconrestapi/src/main/java/tech/pegasys/teku/beaconrestapi/handlers/v1/events/EventSubscriptionManager.java#L171-L182) it uses [`getStateRootFromBlockRoot`](https://github.com/ConsenSys/teku/blob/de2b2801c89ef5abf983d6bf37867c37fc47121f/data/provider/src/main/java/tech/pegasys/teku/api/ChainDataProvider.java#L336-L341) which uses (1). I have switched Lighthouse from (2) to (1). I think it's a somewhat arbitrary choice between the two, where (1) is easier to compute and is consistent with Teku. ## Notes for Reviewers I've renamed `BeaconChain::fork_choice` to `BeaconChain::recompute_head`. Doing this helped ensure I broke all previous uses of fork choice and I also find it more descriptive. It describes an action and can't be confused with trying to get a reference to the `ForkChoice` struct. I've changed the ordering of SSE events when a block is received. It used to be `[block, finalized, head]` and now it's `[block, head, finalized]`. It was easier this way and I don't think we were making any promises about SSE event ordering so it's not "breaking". I've made it so fork choice will run when it's first constructed. I did this because I wanted to have a cached version of the last call to `get_head`.

Additionally, it achieves: - Concurrent forkchoice updates to the EL and cache pruning after a new head is selected. - Concurrent "block packing" (attestations, etc) and execution payload retrieval during block production. - Concurrent per-block-processing and execution payload verification during block processing. - The `Arc`-ification of `SignedBeaconBlock` during block processing (it's never mutated, so why not?): - I had to do this to deal with sending blocks into spawned tasks. - Previously we were cloning the beacon block at least 2 times during each block processing, these clones are either removed or turned into cheaper `Arc` clones. - We were also `Box`-ing and un-`Box`-ing beacon blocks as they moved throughout the networking crate. This is not a big deal, but it's nice to avoid shifting things between the stack and heap. - Avoids cloning *all the blocks* in *every chain segment* during sync. - It also has the potential to clean up our code where we need to pass an *owned* block around so we can send it back in the case of an error (I didn't do much of this, my PR is already big enough :sweat_smile:) - The `BeaconChain::HeadSafetyStatus` struct was removed. It was an old relic from prior merge specs. For motivation for this change, see https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/3244#issuecomment-1160963273 ## Changes to `canonical_head` and `fork_choice` Previously, the `BeaconChain` had two separate fields: ``` canonical_head: RwLock<Snapshot>, fork_choice: RwLock<BeaconForkChoice> ``` Now, we have grouped these values under a single struct: ``` canonical_head: CanonicalHead { cached_head: RwLock<Arc<Snapshot>>, fork_choice: RwLock<BeaconForkChoice> } ``` Apart from ergonomics, the only *actual* change here is wrapping the canonical head snapshot in an `Arc`. This means that we no longer need to hold the `cached_head` (`canonical_head`, in old terms) lock when we want to pull some values from it. This was done to avoid deadlock risks by preventing functions from acquiring (and holding) the `cached_head` and `fork_choice` locks simultaneously. ## Breaking Changes ### The `state` (root) field in the `finalized_checkpoint` SSE event Consider the scenario where epoch `n` is just finalized, but `start_slot(n)` is skipped. There are two state roots we might in the `finalized_checkpoint` SSE event: 1. The state root of the finalized block, which is `get_block(finalized_checkpoint.root).state_root`. 4. The state root at slot of `start_slot(n)`, which would be the state from (1), but "skipped forward" through any skip slots. Previously, Lighthouse would choose (2). However, we can see that when [Teku generates that event](https://github.com/ConsenSys/teku/blob/de2b2801c89ef5abf983d6bf37867c37fc47121f/data/beaconrestapi/src/main/java/tech/pegasys/teku/beaconrestapi/handlers/v1/events/EventSubscriptionManager.java#L171-L182) it uses [`getStateRootFromBlockRoot`](https://github.com/ConsenSys/teku/blob/de2b2801c89ef5abf983d6bf37867c37fc47121f/data/provider/src/main/java/tech/pegasys/teku/api/ChainDataProvider.java#L336-L341) which uses (1). I have switched Lighthouse from (2) to (1). I think it's a somewhat arbitrary choice between the two, where (1) is easier to compute and is consistent with Teku. ## Notes for Reviewers I've renamed `BeaconChain::fork_choice` to `BeaconChain::recompute_head`. Doing this helped ensure I broke all previous uses of fork choice and I also find it more descriptive. It describes an action and can't be confused with trying to get a reference to the `ForkChoice` struct. I've changed the ordering of SSE events when a block is received. It used to be `[block, finalized, head]` and now it's `[block, head, finalized]`. It was easier this way and I don't think we were making any promises about SSE event ordering so it's not "breaking". I've made it so fork choice will run when it's first constructed. I did this because I wanted to have a cached version of the last call to `get_head`. Ensuring `get_head` has been run *at least once* means that the cached values doesn't need to wrapped in an `Option`. This was fairly simple, it just involved passing a `slot` to the constructor so it knows *when* it's being run. When loading a fork choice from the store and a slot clock isn't handy I've just used the `slot` that was saved in the `fork_choice_store`. That seems like it would be a faithful representation of the slot when we saved it. I added the `genesis_time: u64` to the `BeaconChain`. It's small, constant and nice to have around. Since we're using FC for the fin/just checkpoints, we no longer get the `0x00..00` roots at genesis. You can see I had to remove a work-around in `ef-tests` here: b56be3bc2. I can't find any reason why this would be an issue, if anything I think it'll be better since the genesis-alias has caught us out a few times (0x00..00 isn't actually a real root). Edit: I did find a case where the `network` expected the 0x00..00 alias and patched it here: 3f26ac3e2. You'll notice a lot of changes in tests. Generally, tests should be functionally equivalent. Here are the things creating the most diff-noise in tests: - Changing tests to be `tokio::async` tests. - Adding `.await` to fork choice, block processing and block production functions. - Refactor of the `canonical_head` "API" provided by the `BeaconChain`. E.g., `chain.canonical_head.cached_head()` instead of `chain.canonical_head.read()`. - Wrapping `SignedBeaconBlock` in an `Arc`. - In the `beacon_chain/tests/block_verification`, we can't use the `lazy_static` `CHAIN_SEGMENT` variable anymore since it's generated with an async function. We just generate it in each test, not so efficient but hopefully insignificant. I had to disable `rayon` concurrent tests in the `fork_choice` tests. This is because the use of `rayon` and `block_on` was causing a panic. Co-authored-by: Mac L <mjladson@pm.me>

Fix head tracker concurrency bugs (#1771) ## Issue Addressed Closes #1557 ## Proposed Changes Modify the pruning algorithm so that it mutates the head-tracker _before_ committing the database transaction to disk, and _only if_ all the heads to be removed are still present in the head-tracker (i.e. no concurrent mutations). In the process of writing and testing this I also had to make a few other changes: * Use internal mutability for all `BeaconChainHarness` functions (namely the RNG and the graffiti), in order to enable parallel calls (see testing section below). * Disable logging in harness tests unless the `test_logger` feature is turned on And chose to make some clean-ups: * Delete the `NullMigrator` * Remove type-based configuration for the migrator in favour of runtime config (simpler, less duplicated code) * Use the non-blocking migrator unless the blocking migrator is required. In the store tests we need the blocking migrator because some tests make asserts about the state of the DB after the migration has run. * Rename `validators_keypairs` -> `validator_keypairs` in the `BeaconChainHarness` ## Testing To confirm that the fix worked, I wrote a test using [Hiatus](https://crates.io/crates/hiatus), which can be found here: https://github.com/michaelsproul/lighthouse/tree/hiatus-issue-1557 That test can't be merged because it inserts random breakpoints everywhere, but if you check out that branch you can run the test with: ``` $ cd beacon_node/beacon_chain $ cargo test --release --test parallel_tests --features test_logger ``` It should pass, and the log output should show: ``` WARN Pruning deferred because of a concurrent mutation, message: this is expected only very rarely! ``` ## Additional Info This is a backwards-compatible change with no impact on consensus.

This is not a big deal, but it's nice to avoid shifting things between the stack and heap. - Avoids cloning *all the blocks* in *every chain segment* during sync. - It also has the potential to clean up our code where we need to pass an *owned* block around so we can send it back in the case of an error (I didn't do much of this, my PR is already big enough :sweat_smile:) - The `BeaconChain::HeadSafetyStatus` struct was removed. It was an old relic from prior merge specs. For motivation for this change, see https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/3244#issuecomment-1160963273 ## Changes to `canonical_head` and `fork_choice` Previously, the `BeaconChain` had two separate fields: ``` canonical_head: RwLock<Snapshot>, fork_choice: RwLock<BeaconForkChoice> ``` Now, we have grouped these values under a single struct: ``` canonical_head: CanonicalHead { cached_head: RwLock<Arc<Snapshot>>, fork_choice: RwLock<BeaconForkChoice> } ``` Apart from ergonomics, the only *actual* change here is wrapping the canonical head snapshot in an `Arc`. This means that we no longer need to hold the `cached_head` (`canonical_head`, in old terms) lock when we want to pull some values from it. This was done to avoid deadlock risks by preventing functions from acquiring (and holding) the `cached_head` and `fork_choice` locks simultaneously. ## Breaking Changes ### The `state` (root) field in the `finalized_checkpoint` SSE event Consider the scenario where epoch `n` is just finalized, but `start_slot(n)` is skipped. There are two state roots we might in the `finalized_checkpoint` SSE event: 1. The state root of the finalized block, which is `get_block(finalized_checkpoint.root).state_root`. 4. The state root at slot of `start_slot(n)`, which would be the state from (1), but "skipped forward" through any skip slots. Previously, Lighthouse would choose (2). However, we can see that when [Teku generates that event](https://github.com/ConsenSys/teku/blob/de2b2801c89ef5abf983d6bf37867c37fc47121f/data/beaconrestapi/src/main/java/tech/pegasys/teku/beaconrestapi/handlers/v1/events/EventSubscriptionManager.java#L171-L182) it uses [`getStateRootFromBlockRoot`](https://github.com/ConsenSys/teku/blob/de2b2801c89ef5abf983d6bf37867c37fc47121f/data/provider/src/main/java/tech/pegasys/teku/api/ChainDataProvider.java#L336-L341) which uses (1). I have switched Lighthouse from (2) to (1). I think it's a somewhat arbitrary choice between the two, where (1) is easier to compute and is consistent with Teku. ## Notes for Reviewers I've renamed `BeaconChain::fork_choice` to `BeaconChain::recompute_head`. Doing this helped ensure I broke all previous uses of fork choice and I also find it more descriptive. It describes an action and can't be confused with trying to get a reference to the `ForkChoice` struct. I've changed the ordering of SSE events when a block is received. It used to be `[block, finalized, head]` and now it's `[block, head, finalized]`. It was easier this way and I don't think we were making any promises about SSE event ordering so it's not "breaking". I've made it so fork choice will run when it's first constructed. I did this because I wanted to have a cached version of the last call to `get_head`. Ensuring `get_head` has been run *at least once* means that the cached values doesn't need to wrapped in an `Option`. This was fairly simple, it just involved passing a `slot` to the constructor so it knows *when* it's being run. When loading a fork choice from the store and a slot clock isn't handy I've just used the `slot` that was saved in the `fork_choice_store`. That seems like it would be a faithful representation of the slot when we saved it. I added the `genesis_time: u64` to the `BeaconChain`. It's small, constant and nice to have around. Since we're using FC for the fin/just checkpoints, we no longer get the `0x00..00` roots at genesis. You can see I had to remove a work-around in `ef-tests` here: b56be3bc2. I can't find any reason why this would be an issue, if anything I think it'll be better since the genesis-alias has caught us out a few times (0x00..00 isn't actually a real root). Edit: I did find a case where the `network` expected the 0x00..00 alias and patched it here: 3f26ac3e2. You'll notice a lot of changes in tests. Generally, tests should be functionally equivalent. Here are the things creating the most diff-noise in tests: - Changing tests to be `tokio::async` tests. - Adding `.await` to fork choice, block processing and block production functions. - Refactor of the `canonical_head` "API" provided by the `BeaconChain`. E.g., `chain.canonical_head.cached_head()` instead of `chain.canonical_head.read()`. - Wrapping `SignedBeaconBlock` in an `Arc`. - In the `beacon_chain/tests/block_verification`, we can't use the `lazy_static` `CHAIN_SEGMENT` variable anymore since it's generated with an async function. We just generate it in each test, not so efficient but hopefully insignificant. I had to disable `rayon` concurrent tests in the `fork_choice` tests. This is because the use of `rayon` and `block_on` was causing a panic. Co-authored-by: Mac L <mjladson@pm.me>

Fix head tracker concurrency bugs (#1771) ## Issue Addressed Closes #1557 ## Proposed Changes Modify the pruning algorithm so that it mutates the head-tracker _before_ committing the database transaction to disk, and _only if_ all the heads to be removed are still present in the head-tracker (i.e. no concurrent mutations). In the process of writing and testing this I also had to make a few other changes: * Use internal mutability for all `BeaconChainHarness` functions (namely the RNG and the graffiti), in order to enable parallel calls (see testing section below). * Disable logging in harness tests unless the `test_logger` feature is turned on And chose to make some clean-ups: * Delete the `NullMigrator` * Remove type-based configuration for the migrator in favour of runtime config (simpler, less duplicated code) * Use the non-blocking migrator unless the blocking migrator is required. In the store tests we need the blocking migrator because some tests make asserts about the state of the DB after the migration has run. * Rename `validators_keypairs` -> `validator_keypairs` in the `BeaconChainHarness` ## Testing To confirm that the fix worked, I wrote a test using [Hiatus](https://crates.io/crates/hiatus), which can be found here: https://github.com/michaelsproul/lighthouse/tree/hiatus-issue-1557 That test can't be merged because it inserts random breakpoints everywhere, but if you check out that branch you can run the test with: ``` $ cd beacon_node/beacon_chain $ cargo test --release --test parallel_tests --features test_logger ``` It should pass, and the log output should show: ``` WARN Pruning deferred because of a concurrent mutation, message: this is expected only very rarely! ``` ## Additional Info This is a backwards-compatible change with no impact on consensus.

Use async code when interacting with EL (#3244) ## Overview This rather extensive PR achieves two primary goals: 1. Uses the finalized/justified checkpoints of fork choice (FC), rather than that of the head state. 2. Refactors fork choice, block production and block processing to `async` functions. Additionally, it achieves: - Concurrent forkchoice updates to the EL and cache pruning after a new head is selected. - Concurrent "block packing" (attestations, etc) and execution payload retrieval during block production. - Concurrent per-block-processing and execution payload verification during block processing. - The `Arc`-ification of `SignedBeaconBlock` during block processing (it's never mutated, so why not?): - I had to do this to deal with sending blocks into spawned tasks. - Previously we were cloning the beacon block at least 2 times during each block processing, these clones are either removed or turned into cheaper `Arc` clones. - We were also `Box`-ing and un-`Box`-ing beacon blocks as they moved throughout the networking crate. This is not a big deal, but it's nice to avoid shifting things between the stack and heap. - Avoids cloning *all the blocks* in *every chain segment* during sync. - It also has the potential to clean up our code where we need to pass an *owned* block around so we can send it back in the case of an error (I didn't do much of this, my PR is already big enough :sweat_smile:) - The `BeaconChain::HeadSafetyStatus` struct was removed. It was an old relic from prior merge specs. For motivation for this change, see https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/3244#issuecomment-1160963273 ## Changes to `canonical_head` and `fork_choice` Previously, the `BeaconChain` had two separate fields: ``` canonical_head: RwLock<Snapshot>, fork_choice: RwLock<BeaconForkChoice> ``` Now, we have grouped these values under a single struct: ``` canonical_head: CanonicalHead { cached_head: RwLock<Arc<Snapshot>>, fork_choice: RwLock<BeaconForkChoice> } ``` Apart from ergonomics, the only *actual* change here is wrapping the canonical head snapshot in an `Arc`. This means that we no longer need to hold the `cached_head` (`canonical_head`, in old terms) lock when we want to pull some values from it. This was done to avoid deadlock risks by preventing functions from acquiring (and holding) the `cached_head` and `fork_choice` locks simultaneously. ## Breaking Changes ### The `state` (root) field in the `finalized_checkpoint` SSE event Consider the scenario where epoch `n` is just finalized, but `start_slot(n)` is skipped. There are two state roots we might in the `finalized_checkpoint` SSE event: 1. The state root of the finalized block, which is `get_block(finalized_checkpoint.root).state_root`. 4. The state root at slot of `start_slot(n)`, which would be the state from (1), but "skipped forward" through any skip slots. Previously, Lighthouse would choose (2). However, we can see that when [Teku generates that event](https://github.com/ConsenSys/teku/blob/de2b2801c89ef5abf983d6bf37867c37fc47121f/data/beaconrestapi/src/main/java/tech/pegasys/teku/beaconrestapi/handlers/v1/events/EventSubscriptionManager.java#L171-L182) it uses [`getStateRootFromBlockRoot`](https://github.com/ConsenSys/teku/blob/de2b2801c89ef5abf983d6bf37867c37fc47121f/data/provider/src/main/java/tech/pegasys/teku/api/ChainDataProvider.java#L336-L341) which uses (1). I have switched Lighthouse from (2) to (1). I think it's a somewhat arbitrary choice between the two, where (1) is easier to compute and is consistent with Teku. ## Notes for Reviewers I've renamed `BeaconChain::fork_choice` to `BeaconChain::recompute_head`. Doing this helped ensure I broke all previous uses of fork choice and I also find it more descriptive. It describes an action and can't be confused with trying to get a reference to the `ForkChoice` struct. I've changed the ordering of SSE events when a block is received. It used to be `[block, finalized, head]` and now it's `[block, head, finalized]`. It was easier this way and I don't think we were making any promises about SSE event ordering so it's not "breaking". I've made it so fork choice will run when it's first constructed. I did this because I wanted to have a cached version of the last call to `get_head`. Ensuring `get_head` has been run *at least once* means that the cached values doesn't need to wrapped in an `Option`. This was fairly simple, it just involved passing a `slot` to the constructor so it knows *when* it's being run. When loading a fork choice from the store and a slot clock isn't handy I've just used the `slot` that was saved in the `fork_choice_store`. That seems like it would be a faithful representation of the slot when we saved it. I added the `genesis_time: u64` to the `BeaconChain`. It's small, constant and nice to have around. Since we're using FC for the fin/just checkpoints, we no longer get the `0x00..00` roots at genesis. You can see I had to remove a work-around in `ef-tests` here: b56be3bc2. I can't find any reason why this would be an issue, if anything I think it'll be better since the genesis-alias has caught us out a few times (0x00..00 isn't actually a real root). Edit: I did find a case where the `network` expected the 0x00..00 alias and patched it here: 3f26ac3e2. You'll notice a lot of changes in tests. Generally, tests should be functionally equivalent. Here are the things creating the most diff-noise in tests: - Changing tests to be `tokio::async` tests. - Adding `.await` to fork choice, block processing and block production functions. - Refactor of the `canonical_head` "API" provided by the `BeaconChain`. E.g., `chain.canonical_head.cached_head()` instead of `chain.canonical_head.read()`. - Wrapping `SignedBeaconBlock` in an `Arc`. - In the `beacon_chain/tests/block_verification`, we can't use the `lazy_static` `CHAIN_SEGMENT` variable anymore since it's generated with an async function. We just generate it in each test, not so efficient but hopefully insignificant. I had to disable `rayon` concurrent tests in the `fork_choice` tests. This is because the use of `rayon` and `block_on` was causing a panic. Co-authored-by: Mac L <mjladson@pm.me>

Fix head tracker concurrency bugs (#1771) ## Issue Addressed Closes #1557 ## Proposed Changes Modify the pruning algorithm so that it mutates the head-tracker _before_ committing the database transaction to disk, and _only if_ all the heads to be removed are still present in the head-tracker (i.e. no concurrent mutations). In the process of writing and testing this I also had to make a few other changes: * Use internal mutability for all `BeaconChainHarness` functions (namely the RNG and the graffiti), in order to enable parallel calls (see testing section below). * Disable logging in harness tests unless the `test_logger` feature is turned on And chose to make some clean-ups: * Delete the `NullMigrator` * Remove type-based configuration for the migrator in favour of runtime config (simpler, less duplicated code) * Use the non-blocking migrator unless the blocking migrator is required. In the store tests we need the blocking migrator because some tests make asserts about the state of the DB after the migration has run. * Rename `validators_keypairs` -> `validator_keypairs` in the `BeaconChainHarness` ## Testing To confirm that the fix worked, I wrote a test using [Hiatus](https://crates.io/crates/hiatus), which can be found here: https://github.com/michaelsproul/lighthouse/tree/hiatus-issue-1557 That test can't be merged because it inserts random breakpoints everywhere, but if you check out that branch you can run the test with: ``` $ cd beacon_node/beacon_chain $ cargo test --release --test parallel_tests --features test_logger ``` It should pass, and the log output should show: ``` WARN Pruning deferred because of a concurrent mutation, message: this is expected only very rarely! ``` ## Additional Info This is a backwards-compatible change with no impact on consensus.

Additionally, it achieves: - Concurrent forkchoice updates to the EL and cache pruning after a new head is selected. - Concurrent "block packing" (attestations, etc) and execution payload retrieval during block production. - Concurrent per-block-processing and execution payload verification during block processing. - The `Arc`-ification of `SignedBeaconBlock` during block processing (it's never mutated, so why not?): - I had to do this to deal with sending blocks into spawned tasks. - Previously we were cloning the beacon block at least 2 times during each block processing, these clones are either removed or turned into cheaper `Arc` clones. - We were also `Box`-ing and un-`Box`-ing beacon blocks as they moved throughout the networking crate. This is not a big deal, but it's nice to avoid shifting things between the stack and heap. - Avoids cloning *all the blocks* in *every chain segment* during sync. - It also has the potential to clean up our code where we need to pass an *owned* block around so we can send it back in the case of an error (I didn't do much of this, my PR is already big enough :sweat_smile:) - The `BeaconChain::HeadSafetyStatus` struct was removed. It was an old relic from prior merge specs. For motivation for this change, see https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/3244#issuecomment-1160963273 ## Changes to `canonical_head` and `fork_choice` Previously, the `BeaconChain` had two separate fields: ``` canonical_head: RwLock<Snapshot>, fork_choice: RwLock<BeaconForkChoice> ``` Now, we have grouped these values under a single struct: ``` canonical_head: CanonicalHead { cached_head: RwLock<Arc<Snapshot>>, fork_choice: RwLock<BeaconForkChoice> } ``` Apart from ergonomics, the only *actual* change here is wrapping the canonical head snapshot in an `Arc`. This means that we no longer need to hold the `cached_head` (`canonical_head`, in old terms) lock when we want to pull some values from it. This was done to avoid deadlock risks by preventing functions from acquiring (and holding) the `cached_head` and `fork_choice` locks simultaneously. ## Breaking Changes ### The `state` (root) field in the `finalized_checkpoint` SSE event Consider the scenario where epoch `n` is just finalized, but `start_slot(n)` is skipped. There are two state roots we might in the `finalized_checkpoint` SSE event: 1. The state root of the finalized block, which is `get_block(finalized_checkpoint.root).state_root`. 4. The state root at slot of `start_slot(n)`, which would be the state from (1), but "skipped forward" through any skip slots. Previously, Lighthouse would choose (2). However, we can see that when [Teku generates that event](https://github.com/ConsenSys/teku/blob/de2b2801c89ef5abf983d6bf37867c37fc47121f/data/beaconrestapi/src/main/java/tech/pegasys/teku/beaconrestapi/handlers/v1/events/EventSubscriptionManager.java#L171-L182) it uses [`getStateRootFromBlockRoot`](https://github.com/ConsenSys/teku/blob/de2b2801c89ef5abf983d6bf37867c37fc47121f/data/provider/src/main/java/tech/pegasys/teku/api/ChainDataProvider.java#L336-L341) which uses (1). I have switched Lighthouse from (2) to (1). I think it's a somewhat arbitrary choice between the two, where (1) is easier to compute and is consistent with Teku. ## Notes for Reviewers I've renamed `BeaconChain::fork_choice` to `BeaconChain::recompute_head`. Doing this helped ensure I broke all previous uses of fork choice and I also find it more descriptive. It describes an action and can't be confused with trying to get a reference to the `ForkChoice` struct. I've changed the ordering of SSE events when a block is received. It used to be `[block, finalized, head]` and now it's `[block, head, finalized]`. It was easier this way and I don't think we were making any promises about SSE event ordering so it's not "breaking". I've made it so fork choice will run when it's first constructed. I did this because I wanted to have a cached version of the last call to `get_head`. Ensuring `get_head` has been run *at least once* means that the cached values doesn't need to wrapped in an `Option`. This was fairly simple, it just involved passing a `slot` to the constructor so it knows *when* it's being run. When loading a fork choice from the store and a slot clock isn't handy I've just used the `slot` that was saved in the `fork_choice_store`. That seems like it would be a faithful representation of the slot when we saved it. I added the `genesis_time: u64` to the `BeaconChain`. It's small, constant and nice to have around. Since we're using FC for the fin/just checkpoints, we no longer get the `0x00..00` roots at genesis. You can see I had to remove a work-around in `ef-tests` here: b56be3bc2. I can't find any reason why this would be an issue, if anything I think it'll be better since the genesis-alias has caught us out a few times (0x00..00 isn't actually a real root). Edit: I did find a case where the `network` expected the 0x00..00 alias and patched it here: 3f26ac3e2. You'll notice a lot of changes in tests. Generally, tests should be functionally equivalent. Here are the things creating the most diff-noise in tests: - Changing tests to be `tokio::async` tests. - Adding `.await` to fork choice, block processing and block production functions. - Refactor of the `canonical_head` "API" provided by the `BeaconChain`. E.g., `chain.canonical_head.cached_head()` instead of `chain.canonical_head.read()`. - Wrapping `SignedBeaconBlock` in an `Arc`. - In the `beacon_chain/tests/block_verification`, we can't use the `lazy_static` `CHAIN_SEGMENT` variable anymore since it's generated with an async function. We just generate it in each test, not so efficient but hopefully insignificant. I had to disable `rayon` concurrent tests in the `fork_choice` tests. This is because the use of `rayon` and `block_on` was causing a panic. Co-authored-by: Mac L <mjladson@pm.me>

Fix head tracker concurrency bugs (#1771) ## Issue Addressed Closes #1557 ## Proposed Changes Modify the pruning algorithm so that it mutates the head-tracker _before_ committing the database transaction to disk, and _only if_ all the heads to be removed are still present in the head-tracker (i.e. no concurrent mutations). In the process of writing and testing this I also had to make a few other changes: * Use internal mutability for all `BeaconChainHarness` functions (namely the RNG and the graffiti), in order to enable parallel calls (see testing section below). * Disable logging in harness tests unless the `test_logger` feature is turned on And chose to make some clean-ups: * Delete the `NullMigrator` * Remove type-based configuration for the migrator in favour of runtime config (simpler, less duplicated code) * Use the non-blocking migrator unless the blocking migrator is required. In the store tests we need the blocking migrator because some tests make asserts about the state of the DB after the migration has run. * Rename `validators_keypairs` -> `validator_keypairs` in the `BeaconChainHarness` ## Testing To confirm that the fix worked, I wrote a test using [Hiatus](https://crates.io/crates/hiatus), which can be found here: https://github.com/michaelsproul/lighthouse/tree/hiatus-issue-1557 That test can't be merged because it inserts random breakpoints everywhere, but if you check out that branch you can run the test with: ``` $ cd beacon_node/beacon_chain $ cargo test --release --test parallel_tests --features test_logger ``` It should pass, and the log output should show: ``` WARN Pruning deferred because of a concurrent mutation, message: this is expected only very rarely! ``` ## Additional Info This is a backwards-compatible change with no impact on consensus.

This is not a big deal, but it's nice to avoid shifting things between the stack and heap. - Avoids cloning *all the blocks* in *every chain segment* during sync. - It also has the potential to clean up our code where we need to pass an *owned* block around so we can send it back in the case of an error (I didn't do much of this, my PR is already big enough :sweat_smile:) - The `BeaconChain::HeadSafetyStatus` struct was removed. It was an old relic from prior merge specs. For motivation for this change, see https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/3244#issuecomment-1160963273 ## Changes to `canonical_head` and `fork_choice` Previously, the `BeaconChain` had two separate fields: ``` canonical_head: RwLock<Snapshot>, fork_choice: RwLock<BeaconForkChoice> ``` Now, we have grouped these values under a single struct: ``` canonical_head: CanonicalHead { cached_head: RwLock<Arc<Snapshot>>, fork_choice: RwLock<BeaconForkChoice> } ``` Apart from ergonomics, the only *actual* change here is wrapping the canonical head snapshot in an `Arc`. This means that we no longer need to hold the `cached_head` (`canonical_head`, in old terms) lock when we want to pull some values from it. This was done to avoid deadlock risks by preventing functions from acquiring (and holding) the `cached_head` and `fork_choice` locks simultaneously. ## Breaking Changes ### The `state` (root) field in the `finalized_checkpoint` SSE event Consider the scenario where epoch `n` is just finalized, but `start_slot(n)` is skipped. There are two state roots we might in the `finalized_checkpoint` SSE event: 1. The state root of the finalized block, which is `get_block(finalized_checkpoint.root).state_root`. 4. The state root at slot of `start_slot(n)`, which would be the state from (1), but "skipped forward" through any skip slots. Previously, Lighthouse would choose (2). However, we can see that when [Teku generates that event](https://github.com/ConsenSys/teku/blob/de2b2801c89ef5abf983d6bf37867c37fc47121f/data/beaconrestapi/src/main/java/tech/pegasys/teku/beaconrestapi/handlers/v1/events/EventSubscriptionManager.java#L171-L182) it uses [`getStateRootFromBlockRoot`](https://github.com/ConsenSys/teku/blob/de2b2801c89ef5abf983d6bf37867c37fc47121f/data/provider/src/main/java/tech/pegasys/teku/api/ChainDataProvider.java#L336-L341) which uses (1). I have switched Lighthouse from (2) to (1). I think it's a somewhat arbitrary choice between the two, where (1) is easier to compute and is consistent with Teku. ## Notes for Reviewers I've renamed `BeaconChain::fork_choice` to `BeaconChain::recompute_head`. Doing this helped ensure I broke all previous uses of fork choice and I also find it more descriptive. It describes an action and can't be confused with trying to get a reference to the `ForkChoice` struct. I've changed the ordering of SSE events when a block is received. It used to be `[block, finalized, head]` and now it's `[block, head, finalized]`. It was easier this way and I don't think we were making any promises about SSE event ordering so it's not "breaking". I've made it so fork choice will run when it's first constructed. I did this because I wanted to have a cached version of the last call to `get_head`. Ensuring `get_head` has been run *at least once* means that the cached values doesn't need to wrapped in an `Option`. This was fairly simple, it just involved passing a `slot` to the constructor so it knows *when* it's being run. When loading a fork choice from the store and a slot clock isn't handy I've just used the `slot` that was saved in the `fork_choice_store`. That seems like it would be a faithful representation of the slot when we saved it. I added the `genesis_time: u64` to the `BeaconChain`. It's small, constant and nice to have around. Since we're using FC for the fin/just checkpoints, we no longer get the `0x00..00` roots at genesis. You can see I had to remove a work-around in `ef-tests` here: b56be3bc2. I can't find any reason why this would be an issue, if anything I think it'll be better since the genesis-alias has caught us out a few times (0x00..00 isn't actually a real root). Edit: I did find a case where the `network` expected the 0x00..00 alias and patched it here: 3f26ac3e2. You'll notice a lot of changes in tests. Generally, tests should be functionally equivalent. Here are the things creating the most diff-noise in tests: - Changing tests to be `tokio::async` tests. - Adding `.await` to fork choice, block processing and block production functions. - Refactor of the `canonical_head` "API" provided by the `BeaconChain`. E.g., `chain.canonical_head.cached_head()` instead of `chain.canonical_head.read()`. - Wrapping `SignedBeaconBlock` in an `Arc`. - In the `beacon_chain/tests/block_verification`, we can't use the `lazy_static` `CHAIN_SEGMENT` variable anymore since it's generated with an async function. We just generate it in each test, not so efficient but hopefully insignificant. I had to disable `rayon` concurrent tests in the `fork_choice` tests. This is because the use of `rayon` and `block_on` was causing a panic. Co-authored-by: Mac L <mjladson@pm.me>

Fix head tracker concurrency bugs (#1771) ## Issue Addressed Closes #1557 ## Proposed Changes Modify the pruning algorithm so that it mutates the head-tracker _before_ committing the database transaction to disk, and _only if_ all the heads to be removed are still present in the head-tracker (i.e. no concurrent mutations). In the process of writing and testing this I also had to make a few other changes: * Use internal mutability for all `BeaconChainHarness` functions (namely the RNG and the graffiti), in order to enable parallel calls (see testing section below). * Disable logging in harness tests unless the `test_logger` feature is turned on And chose to make some clean-ups: * Delete the `NullMigrator` * Remove type-based configuration for the migrator in favour of runtime config (simpler, less duplicated code) * Use the non-blocking migrator unless the blocking migrator is required. In the store tests we need the blocking migrator because some tests make asserts about the state of the DB after the migration has run. * Rename `validators_keypairs` -> `validator_keypairs` in the `BeaconChainHarness` ## Testing To confirm that the fix worked, I wrote a test using [Hiatus](https://crates.io/crates/hiatus), which can be found here: https://github.com/michaelsproul/lighthouse/tree/hiatus-issue-1557 That test can't be merged because it inserts random breakpoints everywhere, but if you check out that branch you can run the test with: ``` $ cd beacon_node/beacon_chain $ cargo test --release --test parallel_tests --features test_logger ``` It should pass, and the log output should show: ``` WARN Pruning deferred because of a concurrent mutation, message: this is expected only very rarely! ``` ## Additional Info This is a backwards-compatible change with no impact on consensus.

Use async code when interacting with EL (#3244) ## Overview This rather extensive PR achieves two primary goals: 1. Uses the finalized/justified checkpoints of fork choice (FC), rather than that of the head state. 2. Refactors fork choice, block production and block processing to `async` functions. Additionally, it achieves: - Concurrent forkchoice updates to the EL and cache pruning after a new head is selected. - Concurrent "block packing" (attestations, etc) and execution payload retrieval during block production. - Concurrent per-block-processing and execution payload verification during block processing. - The `Arc`-ification of `SignedBeaconBlock` during block processing (it's never mutated, so why not?): - I had to do this to deal with sending blocks into spawned tasks. - Previously we were cloning the beacon block at least 2 times during each block processing, these clones are either removed or turned into cheaper `Arc` clones. - We were also `Box`-ing and un-`Box`-ing beacon blocks as they moved throughout the networking crate. This is not a big deal, but it's nice to avoid shifting things between the stack and heap. - Avoids cloning *all the blocks* in *every chain segment* during sync. - It also has the potential to clean up our code where we need to pass an *owned* block around so we can send it back in the case of an error (I didn't do much of this, my PR is already big enough :sweat_smile:) - The `BeaconChain::HeadSafetyStatus` struct was removed. It was an old relic from prior merge specs. For motivation for this change, see https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/3244#issuecomment-1160963273 ## Changes to `canonical_head` and `fork_choice` Previously, the `BeaconChain` had two separate fields: ``` canonical_head: RwLock<Snapshot>, fork_choice: RwLock<BeaconForkChoice> ``` Now, we have grouped these values under a single struct: ``` canonical_head: CanonicalHead { cached_head: RwLock<Arc<Snapshot>>, fork_choice: RwLock<BeaconForkChoice> } ``` Apart from ergonomics, the only *actual* change here is wrapping the canonical head snapshot in an `Arc`. This means that we no longer need to hold the `cached_head` (`canonical_head`, in old terms) lock when we want to pull some values from it. This was done to avoid deadlock risks by preventing functions from acquiring (and holding) the `cached_head` and `fork_choice` locks simultaneously. ## Breaking Changes ### The `state` (root) field in the `finalized_checkpoint` SSE event Consider the scenario where epoch `n` is just finalized, but `start_slot(n)` is skipped. There are two state roots we might in the `finalized_checkpoint` SSE event: 1. The state root of the finalized block, which is `get_block(finalized_checkpoint.root).state_root`. 4. The state root at slot of `start_slot(n)`, which would be the state from (1), but "skipped forward" through any skip slots. Previously, Lighthouse would choose (2). However, we can see that when [Teku generates that event](https://github.com/ConsenSys/teku/blob/de2b2801c89ef5abf983d6bf37867c37fc47121f/data/beaconrestapi/src/main/java/tech/pegasys/teku/beaconrestapi/handlers/v1/events/EventSubscriptionManager.java#L171-L182) it uses [`getStateRootFromBlockRoot`](https://github.com/ConsenSys/teku/blob/de2b2801c89ef5abf983d6bf37867c37fc47121f/data/provider/src/main/java/tech/pegasys/teku/api/ChainDataProvider.java#L336-L341) which uses (1). I have switched Lighthouse from (2) to (1). I think it's a somewhat arbitrary choice between the two, where (1) is easier to compute and is consistent with Teku. ## Notes for Reviewers I've renamed `BeaconChain::fork_choice` to `BeaconChain::recompute_head`. Doing this helped ensure I broke all previous uses of fork choice and I also find it more descriptive. It describes an action and can't be confused with trying to get a reference to the `ForkChoice` struct. I've changed the ordering of SSE events when a block is received. It used to be `[block, finalized, head]` and now it's `[block, head, finalized]`. It was easier this way and I don't think we were making any promises about SSE event ordering so it's not "breaking". I've made it so fork choice will run when it's first constructed. I did this because I wanted to have a cached version of the last call to `get_head`. Ensuring `get_head` has been run *at least once* means that the cached values doesn't need to wrapped in an `Option`. This was fairly simple, it just involved passing a `slot` to the constructor so it knows *when* it's being run. When loading a fork choice from the store and a slot clock isn't handy I've just used the `slot` that was saved in the `fork_choice_store`. That seems like it would be a faithful representation of the slot when we saved it. I added the `genesis_time: u64` to the `BeaconChain`. It's small, constant and nice to have around. Since we're using FC for the fin/just checkpoints, we no longer get the `0x00..00` roots at genesis. You can see I had to remove a work-around in `ef-tests` here: b56be3bc2. I can't find any reason why this would be an issue, if anything I think it'll be better since the genesis-alias has caught us out a few times (0x00..00 isn't actually a real root). Edit: I did find a case where the `network` expected the 0x00..00 alias and patched it here: 3f26ac3e2. You'll notice a lot of changes in tests. Generally, tests should be functionally equivalent. Here are the things creating the most diff-noise in tests: - Changing tests to be `tokio::async` tests. - Adding `.await` to fork choice, block processing and block production functions. - Refactor of the `canonical_head` "API" provided by the `BeaconChain`.

Here are the things creating the most diff-noise in tests: - Changing tests to be `tokio::async` tests. - Adding `.await` to fork choice, block processing and block production functions. - Refactor of the `canonical_head` "API" provided by the `BeaconChain`. E.g., `chain.canonical_head.cached_head()` instead of `chain.canonical_head.read()`. - Wrapping `SignedBeaconBlock` in an `Arc`. - In the `beacon_chain/tests/block_verification`, we can't use the `lazy_static` `CHAIN_SEGMENT` variable anymore since it's generated with an async function. We just generate it in each test, not so efficient but hopefully insignificant. I had to disable `rayon` concurrent tests in the `fork_choice` tests. This is because the use of `rayon` and `block_on` was causing a panic. Co-authored-by: Mac L <mjladson@pm.me>

Fix head tracker concurrency bugs (#1771) ## Issue Addressed Closes #1557 ## Proposed Changes Modify the pruning algorithm so that it mutates the head-tracker _before_ committing the database transaction to disk, and _only if_ all the heads to be removed are still present in the head-tracker (i.e. no concurrent mutations). In the process of writing and testing this I also had to make a few other changes: * Use internal mutability for all `BeaconChainHarness` functions (namely the RNG and the graffiti), in order to enable parallel calls (see testing section below). * Disable logging in harness tests unless the `test_logger` feature is turned on And chose to make some clean-ups: * Delete the `NullMigrator` * Remove type-based configuration for the migrator in favour of runtime config (simpler, less duplicated code) * Use the non-blocking migrator unless the blocking migrator is required. In the store tests we need the blocking migrator because some tests make asserts about the state of the DB after the migration has run. * Rename `validators_keypairs` -> `validator_keypairs` in the `BeaconChainHarness` ## Testing To confirm that the fix worked, I wrote a test using [Hiatus](https://crates.io/crates/hiatus), which can be found here: https://github.com/michaelsproul/lighthouse/tree/hiatus-issue-1557 That test can't be merged because it inserts random breakpoints everywhere, but if you check out that branch you can run the test with: ``` $ cd beacon_node/beacon_chain $ cargo test --release --test parallel_tests --features test_logger ``` It should pass, and the log output should show: ``` WARN Pruning deferred because of a concurrent mutation, message: this is expected only very rarely! ``` ## Additional Info This is a backwards-compatible change with no impact on consensus.

Uses the finalized/justified checkpoints of fork choice (FC), rather than that of the head state. 2. Refactors fork choice, block production and block processing to `async` functions. Additionally, it achieves: - Concurrent forkchoice updates to the EL and cache pruning after a new head is selected. - Concurrent "block packing" (attestations, etc) and execution payload retrieval during block production. - Concurrent per-block-processing and execution payload verification during block processing. - The `Arc`-ification of `SignedBeaconBlock` during block processing (it's never mutated, so why not?): - I had to do this to deal with sending blocks into spawned tasks. - Previously we were cloning the beacon block at least 2 times during each block processing, these clones are either removed or turned into cheaper `Arc` clones. - We were also `Box`-ing and un-`Box`-ing beacon blocks as they moved throughout the networking crate. This is not a big deal, but it's nice to avoid shifting things between the stack and heap. - Avoids cloning *all the blocks* in *every chain segment* during sync. - It also has the potential to clean up our code where we need to pass an *owned* block around so we can send it back in the case of an error (I didn't do much of this, my PR is already big enough :sweat_smile:) - The `BeaconChain::HeadSafetyStatus` struct was removed. It was an old relic from prior merge specs. For motivation for this change, see https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/3244#issuecomment-1160963273 ## Changes to `canonical_head` and `fork_choice` Previously, the `BeaconChain` had two separate fields: ``` canonical_head: RwLock<Snapshot>, fork_choice: RwLock<BeaconForkChoice> ``` Now, we have grouped these values under a single struct: ``` canonical_head: CanonicalHead { cached_head: RwLock<Arc<Snapshot>>, fork_choice: RwLock<BeaconForkChoice> } ``` Apart from ergonomics, the only *actual* change here is wrapping the canonical head snapshot in an `Arc`. This means that we no longer need to hold the `cached_head` (`canonical_head`, in old terms) lock when we want to pull some values from it. This was done to avoid deadlock risks by preventing functions from acquiring (and holding) the `cached_head` and `fork_choice` locks simultaneously. ## Breaking Changes ### The `state` (root) field in the `finalized_checkpoint` SSE event Consider the scenario where epoch `n` is just finalized, but `start_slot(n)` is skipped. There are two state roots we might in the `finalized_checkpoint` SSE event: 1. The state root of the finalized block, which is `get_block(finalized_checkpoint.root).state_root`. 4. The state root at slot of `start_slot(n)`, which would be the state from (1), but "skipped forward" through any skip slots. Previously, Lighthouse would choose (2). However, we can see that when [Teku generates that event](https://github.com/ConsenSys/teku/blob/de2b2801c89ef5abf983d6bf37867c37fc47121f/data/beaconrestapi/src/main/java/tech/pegasys/teku/beaconrestapi/handlers/v1/events/EventSubscriptionManager.java#L171-L182) it uses [`getStateRootFromBlockRoot`](https://github.com/ConsenSys/teku/blob/de2b2801c89ef5abf983d6bf37867c37fc47121f/data/provider/src/main/java/tech/pegasys/teku/api/ChainDataProvider.java#L336-L341) which uses (1). I have switched Lighthouse from (2) to (1). I think it's a somewhat arbitrary choice between the two, where (1) is easier to compute and is consistent with Teku. ## Notes for Reviewers I've renamed `BeaconChain::fork_choice` to `BeaconChain::recompute_head`. Doing this helped ensure I broke all previous uses of fork choice and I also find it more descriptive. It describes an action and can't be confused with trying to get a reference to the `ForkChoice` struct. I've changed the ordering of SSE events when a block is received. It used to be `[block, finalized, head]` and now it's `[block, head, finalized]`. It was easier this way and I don't think we were making any promises about SSE event ordering so it's not "breaking". I've made it so fork choice will run when it's first constructed. I did this because I wanted to have a cached version of the last call to `get_head`. Ensuring `get_head` has been run *at least once* means that the cached values doesn't need to wrapped in an `Option`. This was fairly simple, it just involved passing a `slot` to the constructor so it knows *when* it's being run. When loading a fork choice from the store and a slot clock isn't handy I've just used the `slot` that was saved in the `fork_choice_store`. That seems like it would be a faithful representation of the slot when we saved it. I added the `genesis_time: u64` to the `BeaconChain`. It's small, constant and nice to have around. Since we're using FC for the fin/just checkpoints, we no longer get the `0x00..00` roots at genesis. You can see I had to remove a work-around in `ef-tests` here: b56be3bc2. I can't find any reason why this would be an issue, if anything I think it'll be better since the genesis-alias has caught us out a few times (0x00..00 isn't actually a real root). Edit: I did find a case where the `network` expected the 0x00..00 alias and patched it here: 3f26ac3e2. You'll notice a lot of changes in tests. Generally, tests should be functionally equivalent. Here are the things creating the most diff-noise in tests: - Changing tests to be `tokio::async` tests. - Adding `.await` to fork choice, block processing and block production functions. - Refactor of the `canonical_head` "API" provided by the `BeaconChain`. E.g., `chain.canonical_head.cached_head()` instead of `chain.canonical_head.read()`. - Wrapping `SignedBeaconBlock` in an `Arc`. - In the `beacon_chain/tests/block_verification`, we can't use the `lazy_static` `CHAIN_SEGMENT` variable anymore since it's generated with an async function. We just generate it in each test, not so efficient but hopefully insignificant. I had to disable `rayon` concurrent tests in the `fork_choice` tests. This is because the use of `rayon` and `block_on` was causing a panic. Co-authored-by: Mac L <mjladson@pm.me>

Optimize validator duties (#2243) ## Issue Addressed Closes #2052 ## Proposed Changes - Refactor the attester/proposer duties endpoints in the BN - Performance improvements - Fixes some potential inconsistencies with the dependent root fields. - Removes `http_api::beacon_proposer_cache` and just uses the one on the `BeaconChain` instead. - Move the code for the proposer/attester duties endpoints into separate files, for readability. - Refactor the `DutiesService` in the VC - Required to reduce the delay on broadcasting new blocks. - Gets rid of the `ValidatorDuty` shim struct that came about when we adopted the standard API. - Separate block/attestation duty tasks so that they don't block each other when one is slow. - In the VC, use `PublicKeyBytes` to represent validators instead of `PublicKey`. `PublicKey` is a legit crypto object whilst `PublicKeyBytes` is just a byte-array, it's much faster to clone/hash `PublicKeyBytes` and this change has had a significant impact on runtimes. - Unfortunately this has created lots of dust changes. - In the BN, store `PublicKeyBytes` in the `beacon_proposer_cache` and allow access to them. The HTTP API always sends `PublicKeyBytes` over the wire and the conversion from `PublicKey` -> `PublickeyBytes` is non-trivial, especially when queries have 100s/1000s of validators (like Pyrmont). - Add the `state_processing::state_advance` mod which dedups a lot of the "apply `n` skip slots to the state" code. - This also fixes a bug with some functions which were failing to include a state root as per [this comment](https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/blob/072695284f7eff82c51f79bc921ad942fea7483a/consensus/state_processing/src/state_advance.rs#L69-L74). I couldn't find any instance of this bug that resulted in anything more severe than keying a shuffling cache by the wrong block root. - Swap the VC block service to use `mpsc` from `tokio` instead of `futures`. This is consistent with the rest of the code base. ~~This PR *reduces* the size of the codebase :tada:~~ It *used* to reduce the size of the code base before I added more comments. ## Observations on Prymont - Proposer duties times down from peaks of 450ms to consistent <1ms. - Current epoch attester duties times down from >1s peaks to a consistent 20-30ms. - Block production down from +600ms to 100-200ms. ## Additional Info - ~~Blocked on #2241~~ - ~~Blocked on #2234~~ ## TODO - [x] ~~Refactor this into some smaller PRs?~~ Leaving this as-is for now. - [x] Address `per_slot_processing` roots. - [x] Investigate slow next epoch times. Not getting added to cache on block processing? - [x] Consider [this](https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/blob/072695284f7eff82c51f79bc921ad942fea7483a/beacon_node/store/src/hot_cold_store.rs#L811-L812) in the scenario of replacing the state roots Co-authored-by: pawan <pawandhananjay@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Michael Sproul <michael@sigmaprime.io>

Batch BLS verification for attestations (#2399) ## Issue Addressed NA ## Proposed Changes Adds the ability to verify batches of aggregated/unaggregated attestations from the network. When the `BeaconProcessor` finds there are messages in the aggregated or unaggregated attestation queues, it will first check the length of the queue: - `== 1` verify the attestation individually. - `>= 2` take up to 64 of those attestations and verify them in a batch. Notably, we only perform batch verification if the queue has a backlog. We don't apply any artificial delays to attestations to try and force them into batches. ### Batching Details To assist with implementing batches we modify `beacon_chain::attestation_verification` to have two distinct categories for attestations: - *Indexed* attestations: those which have passed initial validation and were valid enough for us to derive an `IndexedAttestation`. - *Verified* attestations: those attestations which were indexed *and also* passed signature verification. These are well-formed, interesting messages which were signed by validators. The batching functions accept `n` attestations and then return `n` attestation verification `Result`s, where those `Result`s can be any combination of `Ok` or `Err`. In other words, we attempt to verify as many attestations as possible and return specific per-attestation results so peer scores can be updated, if required. When we batch verify attestations, we first try to map all those attestations to *indexed* attestations. If any of those attestations were able to be indexed, we then perform batch BLS verification on those indexed attestations. If the batch verification succeeds, we convert them into *verified* attestations, disabling individual signature checking. If the batch fails, we convert to verified attestations with individual signature checking enabled. Ultimately, we optimistically try to do a batch verification of attestation signatures and fall-back to individual verification if it fails. This opens an attach vector for "poisoning" the attestations and causing us to waste a batch verification. I argue that peer scoring should do a good-enough job of defending against this and the typical-case gains massively outweigh the worst-case losses. ## Additional Info Before this PR, attestation verification took the attestations by value (instead of by reference). It turns out that this was unnecessary and, in my opinion, resulted in some undesirable ergonomics (e.g., we had to pass the attestation back in the `Err` variant to avoid clones). In this PR I've modified attestation verification so that it now takes a reference. I refactored the `beacon_chain/tests/attestation_verification.rs` tests so they use a builder-esque "tester" struct instead of a weird macro. It made it easier for me to test individual/batch with the same set of tests and I think it was a nice tidy-up. Notably, I did this last to try and make sure my new refactors to *actual* production code would pass under the existing test suite.

Use async code when interacting with EL (#3244) ## Overview This rather extensive PR achieves two primary goals: 1. Uses the finalized/justified checkpoints of fork choice (FC), rather than that of the head state. 2. Refactors fork choice, block production and block processing to `async` functions. Additionally, it achieves: - Concurrent forkchoice updates to the EL and cache pruning after a new head is selected. - Concurrent "block packing" (attestations, etc) and execution payload retrieval during block production. - Concurrent per-block-processing and execution payload verification during block processing. - The `Arc`-ification of `SignedBeaconBlock` during block processing (it's never mutated, so why not?): - I had to do this to deal with sending blocks into spawned tasks. - Previously we were cloning the beacon block at least 2 times during each block processing, these clones are either removed or turned into cheaper `Arc` clones. - We were also `Box`-ing and un-`Box`-ing beacon blocks as they moved throughout the networking crate. This is not a big deal, but it's nice to avoid shifting things between the stack and heap. - Avoids cloning *all the blocks* in *every chain segment* during sync. - It also has the potential to clean up our code where we need to pass an *owned* block around so we can send it back in the case of an error (I didn't do much of this, my PR is already big enough :sweat_smile:) - The `BeaconChain::HeadSafetyStatus` struct was removed. It was an old relic from prior merge specs. For motivation for this change, see https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/3244#issuecomment-1160963273 ## Changes to `canonical_head` and `fork_choice` Previously, the `BeaconChain` had two separate fields: ``` canonical_head: RwLock<Snapshot>, fork_choice: RwLock<BeaconForkChoice> ``` Now, we have grouped these values under a single struct: ``` canonical_head: CanonicalHead { cached_head: RwLock<Arc<Snapshot>>, fork_choice: RwLock<BeaconForkChoice> } ``` Apart from ergonomics, the only *actual* change here is wrapping the canonical head snapshot in an `Arc`. This means that we no longer need to hold the `cached_head` (`canonical_head`, in old terms) lock when we want to pull some values from it. This was done to avoid deadlock risks by preventing functions from acquiring (and holding) the `cached_head` and `fork_choice` locks simultaneously. ## Breaking Changes ### The `state` (root) field in the `finalized_checkpoint` SSE event Consider the scenario where epoch `n` is just finalized, but `start_slot(n)` is skipped. There are two state roots we might in the `finalized_checkpoint` SSE event: 1. The state root of the finalized block, which is `get_block(finalized_checkpoint.root).state_root`. 4. The state root at slot of `start_slot(n)`, which would be the state from (1), but "skipped forward" through any skip slots. Previously, Lighthouse would choose (2). However, we can see that when [Teku generates that event](https://github.com/ConsenSys/teku/blob/de2b2801c89ef5abf983d6bf37867c37fc47121f/data/beaconrestapi/src/main/java/tech/pegasys/teku/beaconrestapi/handlers/v1/events/EventSubscriptionManager.java#L171-L182) it uses [`getStateRootFromBlockRoot`](https://github.com/ConsenSys/teku/blob/de2b2801c89ef5abf983d6bf37867c37fc47121f/data/provider/src/main/java/tech/pegasys/teku/api/ChainDataProvider.java#L336-L341) which uses (1). I have switched Lighthouse from (2) to (1). I think it's a somewhat arbitrary choice between the two, where (1) is easier to compute and is consistent with Teku. ## Notes for Reviewers I've renamed `BeaconChain::fork_choice` to `BeaconChain::recompute_head`. Doing this helped ensure I broke all previous uses of fork choice and I also find it more descriptive. It describes an action and can't be confused with trying to get a reference to the `ForkChoice` struct. I've changed the ordering of SSE events when a block is received. It used to be `[block, finalized, head]` and now it's `[block, head, finalized]`. It was easier this way and I don't think we were making any promises about SSE event ordering so it's not "breaking". I've made it so fork choice will run when it's first constructed. I did this because I wanted to have a cached version of the last call to `get_head`. Ensuring `get_head` has been run *at least once* means that the cached values doesn't need to wrapped in an `Option`. This was fairly simple, it just involved passing a `slot` to the constructor so it knows *when* it's being run. When loading a fork choice from the store and a slot clock isn't handy I've just used the `slot` that was saved in the `fork_choice_store`. That seems like it would be a faithful representation of the slot when we saved it. I added the `genesis_time: u64` to the `BeaconChain`. It's small, constant and nice to have around. Since we're using FC for the fin/just checkpoints, we no longer get the `0x00..00` roots at genesis. You can see I had to remove a work-around in `ef-tests` here: b56be3bc2. I can't find any reason why this would be an issue, if anything I think it'll be better since the genesis-alias has caught us out a few times (0x00..00 isn't actually a real root). Edit: I did find a case where the `network` expected the 0x00..00 alias and patched it here: 3f26ac3e2. You'll notice a lot of changes in tests. Generally, tests should be functionally equivalent. Here are the things creating the most diff-noise in tests: - Changing tests to be `tokio::async` tests. - Adding `.await` to fork choice, block processing and block production functions. - Refactor of the `canonical_head` "API" provided by the `BeaconChain`. E.g., `chain.canonical_head.cached_head()` instead of `chain.canonical_head.read()`. - Wrapping `SignedBeaconBlock` in an `Arc`. - In the `beacon_chain/tests/block_verification`, we can't use the `lazy_static` `CHAIN_SEGMENT` variable anymore since it's generated with an async function. We just generate it in each test, not so efficient but hopefully insignificant. I had to disable `rayon` concurrent tests in the `fork_choice` tests. This is because the use of `rayon` and `block_on` was causing a panic. Co-authored-by: Mac L <mjladson@pm.me>

Fix head tracker concurrency bugs (#1771) ## Issue Addressed Closes #1557 ## Proposed Changes Modify the pruning algorithm so that it mutates the head-tracker _before_ committing the database transaction to disk, and _only if_ all the heads to be removed are still present in the head-tracker (i.e. no concurrent mutations). In the process of writing and testing this I also had to make a few other changes: * Use internal mutability for all `BeaconChainHarness` functions (namely the RNG and the graffiti), in order to enable parallel calls (see testing section below). * Disable logging in harness tests unless the `test_logger` feature is turned on And chose to make some clean-ups: * Delete the `NullMigrator` * Remove type-based configuration for the migrator in favour of runtime config (simpler, less duplicated code) * Use the non-blocking migrator unless the blocking migrator is required. In the store tests we need the blocking migrator because some tests make asserts about the state of the DB after the migration has run. * Rename `validators_keypairs` -> `validator_keypairs` in the `BeaconChainHarness` ## Testing To confirm that the fix worked, I wrote a test using [Hiatus](https://crates.io/crates/hiatus), which can be found here: https://github.com/michaelsproul/lighthouse/tree/hiatus-issue-1557 That test can't be merged because it inserts random breakpoints everywhere, but if you check out that branch you can run the test with: ``` $ cd beacon_node/beacon_chain $ cargo test --release --test parallel_tests --features test_logger ``` It should pass, and the log output should show: ``` WARN Pruning deferred because of a concurrent mutation, message: this is expected only very rarely! ``` ## Additional Info This is a backwards-compatible change with no impact on consensus.

Use async code when interacting with EL (#3244) ## Overview This rather extensive PR achieves two primary goals: 1. Uses the finalized/justified checkpoints of fork choice (FC), rather than that of the head state. 2. Refactors fork choice, block production and block processing to `async` functions. Additionally, it achieves: - Concurrent forkchoice updates to the EL and cache pruning after a new head is selected. - Concurrent "block packing" (attestations, etc) and execution payload retrieval during block production. - Concurrent per-block-processing and execution payload verification during block processing. - The `Arc`-ification of `SignedBeaconBlock` during block processing (it's never mutated, so why not?): - I had to do this to deal with sending blocks into spawned tasks. - Previously we were cloning the beacon block at least 2 times during each block processing, these clones are either removed or turned into cheaper `Arc` clones. - We were also `Box`-ing and un-`Box`-ing beacon blocks as they moved throughout the networking crate. This is not a big deal, but it's nice to avoid shifting things between the stack and heap. - Avoids cloning *all the blocks* in *every chain segment* during sync. - It also has the potential to clean up our code where we need to pass an *owned* block around so we can send it back in the case of an error (I didn't do much of this, my PR is already big enough :sweat_smile:) - The `BeaconChain::HeadSafetyStatus` struct was removed. It was an old relic from prior merge specs. For motivation for this change, see https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/3244#issuecomment-1160963273 ## Changes to `canonical_head` and `fork_choice` Previously, the `BeaconChain` had two separate fields: ``` canonical_head: RwLock<Snapshot>, fork_choice: RwLock<BeaconForkChoice> ``` Now, we have grouped these values under a single struct: ``` canonical_head: CanonicalHead { cached_head: RwLock<Arc<Snapshot>>, fork_choice: RwLock<BeaconForkChoice> } ``` Apart from ergonomics, the only *actual* change here is wrapping the canonical head snapshot in an `Arc`. This means that we no longer need to hold the `cached_head` (`canonical_head`, in old terms) lock when we want to pull some values from it. This was done to avoid deadlock risks by preventing functions from acquiring (and holding) the `cached_head` and `fork_choice` locks simultaneously. ## Breaking Changes ### The `state` (root) field in the `finalized_checkpoint` SSE event Consider the scenario where epoch `n` is just finalized, but `start_slot(n)` is skipped. There are two state roots we might in the `finalized_checkpoint` SSE event: 1. The state root of the finalized block, which is `get_block(finalized_checkpoint.root).state_root`. 4. The state root at slot of `start_slot(n)`, which would be the state from (1), but "skipped forward" through any skip slots. Previously, Lighthouse would choose (2). However, we can see that when [Teku generates that event](https://github.com/ConsenSys/teku/blob/de2b2801c89ef5abf983d6bf37867c37fc47121f/data/beaconrestapi/src/main/java/tech/pegasys/teku/beaconrestapi/handlers/v1/events/EventSubscriptionManager.java#L171-L182) it uses [`getStateRootFromBlockRoot`](https://github.com/ConsenSys/teku/blob/de2b2801c89ef5abf983d6bf37867c37fc47121f/data/provider/src/main/java/tech/pegasys/teku/api/ChainDataProvider.java#L336-L341) which uses (1). I have switched Lighthouse from (2) to (1). I think it's a somewhat arbitrary choice between the two, where (1) is easier to compute and is consistent with Teku. ## Notes for Reviewers I've renamed `BeaconChain::fork_choice` to `BeaconChain::recompute_head`. Doing this helped ensure I broke all previous uses of fork choice and I also find it more descriptive. It describes an action and can't be confused with trying to get a reference to the `ForkChoice` struct. I've changed the ordering of SSE events when a block is received. It used to be `[block, finalized, head]` and now it's `[block, head, finalized]`. It was easier this way and I don't think we were making any promises about SSE event ordering so it's not "breaking". I've made it so fork choice will run when it's first constructed. I did this because I wanted to have a cached version of the last call to `get_head`. Ensuring `get_head` has been run *at least once* means that the cached values doesn't need to wrapped in an `Option`. This was fairly simple, it just involved passing a `slot` to the constructor so it knows *when* it's being run. When loading a fork choice from the store and a slot clock isn't handy I've just used the `slot` that was saved in the `fork_choice_store`. That seems like it would be a faithful representation of the slot when we saved it. I added the `genesis_time: u64` to the `BeaconChain`. It's small, constant and nice to have around. Since we're using FC for the fin/just checkpoints, we no longer get the `0x00..00` roots at genesis. You can see I had to remove a work-around in `ef-tests` here: b56be3bc2. I can't find any reason why this would be an issue, if anything I think it'll be better since the genesis-alias has caught us out a few times (0x00..00 isn't actually a real root). Edit: I did find a case where the `network` expected the 0x00..00 alias and patched it here: 3f26ac3e2. You'll notice a lot of changes in tests. Generally, tests should be functionally equivalent. Here are the things creating the most diff-noise in tests: - Changing tests to be `tokio::async` tests. - Adding `.await` to fork choice, block processing and block production functions. - Refactor of the `canonical_head` "API" provided by the `BeaconChain`. E.g., `chain.canonical_head.cached_head()` instead of `chain.canonical_head.read()`. - Wrapping `SignedBeaconBlock` in an `Arc`. - In the `beacon_chain/tests/block_verification`, we can't use the `lazy_static` `CHAIN_SEGMENT` variable anymore since it's generated with an async function. We just generate it in each test, not so efficient but hopefully insignificant. I had to disable `rayon` concurrent tests in the `fork_choice` tests. This is because the use of `rayon` and `block_on` was causing a panic. Co-authored-by: Mac L <mjladson@pm.me>

Fix head tracker concurrency bugs (#1771) ## Issue Addressed Closes #1557 ## Proposed Changes Modify the pruning algorithm so that it mutates the head-tracker _before_ committing the database transaction to disk, and _only if_ all the heads to be removed are still present in the head-tracker (i.e. no concurrent mutations). In the process of writing and testing this I also had to make a few other changes: * Use internal mutability for all `BeaconChainHarness` functions (namely the RNG and the graffiti), in order to enable parallel calls (see testing section below). * Disable logging in harness tests unless the `test_logger` feature is turned on And chose to make some clean-ups: * Delete the `NullMigrator` * Remove type-based configuration for the migrator in favour of runtime config (simpler, less duplicated code) * Use the non-blocking migrator unless the blocking migrator is required. In the store tests we need the blocking migrator because some tests make asserts about the state of the DB after the migration has run. * Rename `validators_keypairs` -> `validator_keypairs` in the `BeaconChainHarness` ## Testing To confirm that the fix worked, I wrote a test using [Hiatus](https://crates.io/crates/hiatus), which can be found here: https://github.com/michaelsproul/lighthouse/tree/hiatus-issue-1557 That test can't be merged because it inserts random breakpoints everywhere, but if you check out that branch you can run the test with: ``` $ cd beacon_node/beacon_chain $ cargo test --release --test parallel_tests --features test_logger ``` It should pass, and the log output should show: ``` WARN Pruning deferred because of a concurrent mutation, message: this is expected only very rarely! ``` ## Additional Info This is a backwards-compatible change with no impact on consensus.

Ensuring `get_head` has been run *at least once* means that the cached values doesn't need to wrapped in an `Option`. This was fairly simple, it just involved passing a `slot` to the constructor so it knows *when* it's being run. When loading a fork choice from the store and a slot clock isn't handy I've just used the `slot` that was saved in the `fork_choice_store`. That seems like it would be a faithful representation of the slot when we saved it. I added the `genesis_time: u64` to the `BeaconChain`. It's small, constant and nice to have around. Since we're using FC for the fin/just checkpoints, we no longer get the `0x00..00` roots at genesis. You can see I had to remove a work-around in `ef-tests` here: b56be3bc2. I can't find any reason why this would be an issue, if anything I think it'll be better since the genesis-alias has caught us out a few times (0x00..00 isn't actually a real root). Edit: I did find a case where the `network` expected the 0x00..00 alias and patched it here: 3f26ac3e2. You'll notice a lot of changes in tests. Generally, tests should be functionally equivalent. Here are the things creating the most diff-noise in tests: - Changing tests to be `tokio::async` tests. - Adding `.await` to fork choice, block processing and block production functions. - Refactor of the `canonical_head` "API" provided by the `BeaconChain`. E.g., `chain.canonical_head.cached_head()` instead of `chain.canonical_head.read()`. - Wrapping `SignedBeaconBlock` in an `Arc`. - In the `beacon_chain/tests/block_verification`, we can't use the `lazy_static` `CHAIN_SEGMENT` variable anymore since it's generated with an async function. We just generate it in each test, not so efficient but hopefully insignificant. I had to disable `rayon` concurrent tests in the `fork_choice` tests. This is because the use of `rayon` and `block_on` was causing a panic. Co-authored-by: Mac L <mjladson@pm.me>

Use async code when interacting with EL (#3244) ## Overview This rather extensive PR achieves two primary goals: 1. Uses the finalized/justified checkpoints of fork choice (FC), rather than that of the head state. 2. Refactors fork choice, block production and block processing to `async` functions. Additionally, it achieves: - Concurrent forkchoice updates to the EL and cache pruning after a new head is selected. - Concurrent "block packing" (attestations, etc) and execution payload retrieval during block production. - Concurrent per-block-processing and execution payload verification during block processing. - The `Arc`-ification of `SignedBeaconBlock` during block processing (it's never mutated, so why not?): - I had to do this to deal with sending blocks into spawned tasks. - Previously we were cloning the beacon block at least 2 times during each block processing, these clones are either removed or turned into cheaper `Arc` clones. - We were also `Box`-ing and un-`Box`-ing beacon blocks as they moved throughout the networking crate. This is not a big deal, but it's nice to avoid shifting things between the stack and heap. - Avoids cloning *all the blocks* in *every chain segment* during sync. - It also has the potential to clean up our code where we need to pass an *owned* block around so we can send it back in the case of an error (I didn't do much of this, my PR is already big enough :sweat_smile:) - The `BeaconChain::HeadSafetyStatus` struct was removed. It was an old relic from prior merge specs. For motivation for this change, see https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/3244#issuecomment-1160963273 ## Changes to `canonical_head` and `fork_choice` Previously, the `BeaconChain` had two separate fields: ``` canonical_head: RwLock<Snapshot>, fork_choice: RwLock<BeaconForkChoice> ``` Now, we have grouped these values under a single struct: ``` canonical_head: CanonicalHead { cached_head: RwLock<Arc<Snapshot>>, fork_choice: RwLock<BeaconForkChoice> } ``` Apart from ergonomics, the only *actual* change here is wrapping the canonical head snapshot in an `Arc`. This means that we no longer need to hold the `cached_head` (`canonical_head`, in old terms) lock when we want to pull some values from it. This was done to avoid deadlock risks by preventing functions from acquiring (and holding) the `cached_head` and `fork_choice` locks simultaneously. ## Breaking Changes ### The `state` (root) field in the `finalized_checkpoint` SSE event Consider the scenario where epoch `n` is just finalized, but `start_slot(n)` is skipped. There are two state roots we might in the `finalized_checkpoint` SSE event: 1. The state root of the finalized block, which is `get_block(finalized_checkpoint.root).state_root`. 4. The state root at slot of `start_slot(n)`, which would be the state from (1), but "skipped forward" through any skip slots. Previously, Lighthouse would choose (2). However, we can see that when [Teku generates that event](https://github.com/ConsenSys/teku/blob/de2b2801c89ef5abf983d6bf37867c37fc47121f/data/beaconrestapi/src/main/java/tech/pegasys/teku/beaconrestapi/handlers/v1/events/EventSubscriptionManager.java#L171-L182) it uses [`getStateRootFromBlockRoot`](https://github.com/ConsenSys/teku/blob/de2b2801c89ef5abf983d6bf37867c37fc47121f/data/provider/src/main/java/tech/pegasys/teku/api/ChainDataProvider.java#L336-L341) which uses (1). I have switched Lighthouse from (2) to (1). I think it's a somewhat arbitrary choice between the two, where (1) is easier to compute and is consistent with Teku. ## Notes for Reviewers I've renamed `BeaconChain::fork_choice` to `BeaconChain::recompute_head`. Doing this helped ensure I broke all previous uses of fork choice and I also find it more descriptive. It describes an action and can't be confused with trying to get a reference to the `ForkChoice` struct. I've changed the ordering of SSE events when a block is received. It used to be `[block, finalized, head]` and now it's `[block, head, finalized]`. It was easier this way and I don't think we were making any promises about SSE event ordering so it's not "breaking". I've made it so fork choice will run when it's first constructed. I did this because I wanted to have a cached version of the last call to `get_head`.

Additionally, it achieves: - Concurrent forkchoice updates to the EL and cache pruning after a new head is selected. - Concurrent "block packing" (attestations, etc) and execution payload retrieval during block production. - Concurrent per-block-processing and execution payload verification during block processing. - The `Arc`-ification of `SignedBeaconBlock` during block processing (it's never mutated, so why not?): - I had to do this to deal with sending blocks into spawned tasks. - Previously we were cloning the beacon block at least 2 times during each block processing, these clones are either removed or turned into cheaper `Arc` clones. - We were also `Box`-ing and un-`Box`-ing beacon blocks as they moved throughout the networking crate. This is not a big deal, but it's nice to avoid shifting things between the stack and heap. - Avoids cloning *all the blocks* in *every chain segment* during sync. - It also has the potential to clean up our code where we need to pass an *owned* block around so we can send it back in the case of an error (I didn't do much of this, my PR is already big enough :sweat_smile:) - The `BeaconChain::HeadSafetyStatus` struct was removed. It was an old relic from prior merge specs. For motivation for this change, see https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/3244#issuecomment-1160963273 ## Changes to `canonical_head` and `fork_choice` Previously, the `BeaconChain` had two separate fields: ``` canonical_head: RwLock<Snapshot>, fork_choice: RwLock<BeaconForkChoice> ``` Now, we have grouped these values under a single struct: ``` canonical_head: CanonicalHead { cached_head: RwLock<Arc<Snapshot>>, fork_choice: RwLock<BeaconForkChoice> } ``` Apart from ergonomics, the only *actual* change here is wrapping the canonical head snapshot in an `Arc`. This means that we no longer need to hold the `cached_head` (`canonical_head`, in old terms) lock when we want to pull some values from it. This was done to avoid deadlock risks by preventing functions from acquiring (and holding) the `cached_head` and `fork_choice` locks simultaneously. ## Breaking Changes ### The `state` (root) field in the `finalized_checkpoint` SSE event Consider the scenario where epoch `n` is just finalized, but `start_slot(n)` is skipped. There are two state roots we might in the `finalized_checkpoint` SSE event: 1. The state root of the finalized block, which is `get_block(finalized_checkpoint.root).state_root`. 4. The state root at slot of `start_slot(n)`, which would be the state from (1), but "skipped forward" through any skip slots. Previously, Lighthouse would choose (2). However, we can see that when [Teku generates that event](https://github.com/ConsenSys/teku/blob/de2b2801c89ef5abf983d6bf37867c37fc47121f/data/beaconrestapi/src/main/java/tech/pegasys/teku/beaconrestapi/handlers/v1/events/EventSubscriptionManager.java#L171-L182) it uses [`getStateRootFromBlockRoot`](https://github.com/ConsenSys/teku/blob/de2b2801c89ef5abf983d6bf37867c37fc47121f/data/provider/src/main/java/tech/pegasys/teku/api/ChainDataProvider.java#L336-L341) which uses (1). I have switched Lighthouse from (2) to (1). I think it's a somewhat arbitrary choice between the two, where (1) is easier to compute and is consistent with Teku. ## Notes for Reviewers I've renamed `BeaconChain::fork_choice` to `BeaconChain::recompute_head`. Doing this helped ensure I broke all previous uses of fork choice and I also find it more descriptive. It describes an action and can't be confused with trying to get a reference to the `ForkChoice` struct. I've changed the ordering of SSE events when a block is received. It used to be `[block, finalized, head]` and now it's `[block, head, finalized]`. It was easier this way and I don't think we were making any promises about SSE event ordering so it's not "breaking". I've made it so fork choice will run when it's first constructed. I did this because I wanted to have a cached version of the last call to `get_head`. Ensuring `get_head` has been run *at least once* means that the cached values doesn't need to wrapped in an `Option`. This was fairly simple, it just involved passing a `slot` to the constructor so it knows *when* it's being run. When loading a fork choice from the store and a slot clock isn't handy I've just used the `slot` that was saved in the `fork_choice_store`. That seems like it would be a faithful representation of the slot when we saved it. I added the `genesis_time: u64` to the `BeaconChain`. It's small, constant and nice to have around. Since we're using FC for the fin/just checkpoints, we no longer get the `0x00..00` roots at genesis. You can see I had to remove a work-around in `ef-tests` here: b56be3bc2. I can't find any reason why this would be an issue, if anything I think it'll be better since the genesis-alias has caught us out a few times (0x00..00 isn't actually a real root). Edit: I did find a case where the `network` expected the 0x00..00 alias and patched it here: 3f26ac3e2. You'll notice a lot of changes in tests. Generally, tests should be functionally equivalent. Here are the things creating the most diff-noise in tests: - Changing tests to be `tokio::async` tests. - Adding `.await` to fork choice, block processing and block production functions. - Refactor of the `canonical_head` "API" provided by the `BeaconChain`. E.g., `chain.canonical_head.cached_head()` instead of `chain.canonical_head.read()`. - Wrapping `SignedBeaconBlock` in an `Arc`. - In the `beacon_chain/tests/block_verification`, we can't use the `lazy_static` `CHAIN_SEGMENT` variable anymore since it's generated with an async function. We just generate it in each test, not so efficient but hopefully insignificant. I had to disable `rayon` concurrent tests in the `fork_choice` tests. This is because the use of `rayon` and `block_on` was causing a panic. Co-authored-by: Mac L <mjladson@pm.me>

Use the forwards iterator more often (#2376) ## Issue Addressed NA ## Primary Change When investigating memory usage, I noticed that retrieving a block from an early slot (e.g., slot 900) would cause a sharp increase in the memory footprint (from 400mb to 800mb+) which seemed to be ever-lasting. After some investigation, I found that the reverse iteration from the head back to that slot was the likely culprit. To counter this, I've switched the `BeaconChain::block_root_at_slot` to use the forwards iterator, instead of the reverse one. I also noticed that the networking stack is using `BeaconChain::root_at_slot` to check if a peer is relevant (`check_peer_relevance`). Perhaps the steep, seemingly-random-but-consistent increases in memory usage are caused by the use of this function. Using the forwards iterator with the HTTP API alleviated the sharp increases in memory usage. It also made the response much faster (before it felt like to took 1-2s, now it feels instant). ## Additional Changes In the process I also noticed that we have two functions for getting block roots: - `BeaconChain::block_root_at_slot`: returns `None` for a skip slot. - `BeaconChain::root_at_slot`: returns the previous root for a skip slot. I unified these two functions into `block_root_at_slot` and added the `WhenSlotSkipped` enum. Now, the caller must be explicit about the skip-slot behaviour when requesting a root. Additionally, I replaced `vec![]` with `Vec::with_capacity` in `store::chunked_vector::range_query`. I stumbled across this whilst debugging and made this modification to see what effect it would have (not much). It seems like a decent change to keep around, but I'm not concerned either way. Also, `BeaconChain::get_ancestor_block_root` is unused, so I got rid of it :wastebasket:. ## Additional Info I haven't also done the same for state roots here. Whilst it's possible and a good idea, it's more work since the fwds iterators are presently block-roots-specific. Whilst there's a few places a reverse iteration of state roots could be triggered (e.g., attestation production, HTTP API), they're no where near as common as the `check_peer_relevance` call. As such, I think we should get this PR merged first, then come back for the state root iters. I made an issue here https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/2377.

Here are the things creating the most diff-noise in tests: - Changing tests to be `tokio::async` tests. - Adding `.await` to fork choice, block processing and block production functions. - Refactor of the `canonical_head` "API" provided by the `BeaconChain`. E.g., `chain.canonical_head.cached_head()` instead of `chain.canonical_head.read()`. - Wrapping `SignedBeaconBlock` in an `Arc`. - In the `beacon_chain/tests/block_verification`, we can't use the `lazy_static` `CHAIN_SEGMENT` variable anymore since it's generated with an async function. We just generate it in each test, not so efficient but hopefully insignificant. I had to disable `rayon` concurrent tests in the `fork_choice` tests. This is because the use of `rayon` and `block_on` was causing a panic. Co-authored-by: Mac L <mjladson@pm.me>

Use the forwards iterator more often (#2376) ## Issue Addressed NA ## Primary Change When investigating memory usage, I noticed that retrieving a block from an early slot (e.g., slot 900) would cause a sharp increase in the memory footprint (from 400mb to 800mb+) which seemed to be ever-lasting. After some investigation, I found that the reverse iteration from the head back to that slot was the likely culprit. To counter this, I've switched the `BeaconChain::block_root_at_slot` to use the forwards iterator, instead of the reverse one. I also noticed that the networking stack is using `BeaconChain::root_at_slot` to check if a peer is relevant (`check_peer_relevance`). Perhaps the steep, seemingly-random-but-consistent increases in memory usage are caused by the use of this function. Using the forwards iterator with the HTTP API alleviated the sharp increases in memory usage. It also made the response much faster (before it felt like to took 1-2s, now it feels instant). ## Additional Changes In the process I also noticed that we have two functions for getting block roots: - `BeaconChain::block_root_at_slot`: returns `None` for a skip slot. - `BeaconChain::root_at_slot`: returns the previous root for a skip slot. I unified these two functions into `block_root_at_slot` and added the `WhenSlotSkipped` enum. Now, the caller must be explicit about the skip-slot behaviour when requesting a root. Additionally, I replaced `vec![]` with `Vec::with_capacity` in `store::chunked_vector::range_query`. I stumbled across this whilst debugging and made this modification to see what effect it would have (not much). It seems like a decent change to keep around, but I'm not concerned either way. Also, `BeaconChain::get_ancestor_block_root` is unused, so I got rid of it :wastebasket:. ## Additional Info I haven't also done the same for state roots here. Whilst it's possible and a good idea, it's more work since the fwds iterators are presently block-roots-specific. Whilst there's a few places a reverse iteration of state roots could be triggered (e.g., attestation production, HTTP API), they're no where near as common as the `check_peer_relevance` call. As such, I think we should get this PR merged first, then come back for the state root iters. I made an issue here https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/2377.

Use async code when interacting with EL (#3244) ## Overview This rather extensive PR achieves two primary goals: 1. Uses the finalized/justified checkpoints of fork choice (FC), rather than that of the head state. 2. Refactors fork choice, block production and block processing to `async` functions. Additionally, it achieves: - Concurrent forkchoice updates to the EL and cache pruning after a new head is selected. - Concurrent "block packing" (attestations, etc) and execution payload retrieval during block production. - Concurrent per-block-processing and execution payload verification during block processing. - The `Arc`-ification of `SignedBeaconBlock` during block processing (it's never mutated, so why not?): - I had to do this to deal with sending blocks into spawned tasks. - Previously we were cloning the beacon block at least 2 times during each block processing, these clones are either removed or turned into cheaper `Arc` clones. - We were also `Box`-ing and un-`Box`-ing beacon blocks as they moved throughout the networking crate. This is not a big deal, but it's nice to avoid shifting things between the stack and heap. - Avoids cloning *all the blocks* in *every chain segment* during sync. - It also has the potential to clean up our code where we need to pass an *owned* block around so we can send it back in the case of an error (I didn't do much of this, my PR is already big enough :sweat_smile:) - The `BeaconChain::HeadSafetyStatus` struct was removed. It was an old relic from prior merge specs. For motivation for this change, see https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/3244#issuecomment-1160963273 ## Changes to `canonical_head` and `fork_choice` Previously, the `BeaconChain` had two separate fields: ``` canonical_head: RwLock<Snapshot>, fork_choice: RwLock<BeaconForkChoice> ``` Now, we have grouped these values under a single struct: ``` canonical_head: CanonicalHead { cached_head: RwLock<Arc<Snapshot>>, fork_choice: RwLock<BeaconForkChoice> } ``` Apart from ergonomics, the only *actual* change here is wrapping the canonical head snapshot in an `Arc`. This means that we no longer need to hold the `cached_head` (`canonical_head`, in old terms) lock when we want to pull some values from it. This was done to avoid deadlock risks by preventing functions from acquiring (and holding) the `cached_head` and `fork_choice` locks simultaneously. ## Breaking Changes ### The `state` (root) field in the `finalized_checkpoint` SSE event Consider the scenario where epoch `n` is just finalized, but `start_slot(n)` is skipped. There are two state roots we might in the `finalized_checkpoint` SSE event: 1. The state root of the finalized block, which is `get_block(finalized_checkpoint.root).state_root`. 4. The state root at slot of `start_slot(n)`, which would be the state from (1), but "skipped forward" through any skip slots. Previously, Lighthouse would choose (2). However, we can see that when [Teku generates that event](https://github.com/ConsenSys/teku/blob/de2b2801c89ef5abf983d6bf37867c37fc47121f/data/beaconrestapi/src/main/java/tech/pegasys/teku/beaconrestapi/handlers/v1/events/EventSubscriptionManager.java#L171-L182) it uses [`getStateRootFromBlockRoot`](https://github.com/ConsenSys/teku/blob/de2b2801c89ef5abf983d6bf37867c37fc47121f/data/provider/src/main/java/tech/pegasys/teku/api/ChainDataProvider.java#L336-L341) which uses (1). I have switched Lighthouse from (2) to (1). I think it's a somewhat arbitrary choice between the two, where (1) is easier to compute and is consistent with Teku. ## Notes for Reviewers I've renamed `BeaconChain::fork_choice` to `BeaconChain::recompute_head`. Doing this helped ensure I broke all previous uses of fork choice and I also find it more descriptive. It describes an action and can't be confused with trying to get a reference to the `ForkChoice` struct. I've changed the ordering of SSE events when a block is received. It used to be `[block, finalized, head]` and now it's `[block, head, finalized]`. It was easier this way and I don't think we were making any promises about SSE event ordering so it's not "breaking". I've made it so fork choice will run when it's first constructed. I did this because I wanted to have a cached version of the last call to `get_head`. Ensuring `get_head` has been run *at least once* means that the cached values doesn't need to wrapped in an `Option`. This was fairly simple, it just involved passing a `slot` to the constructor so it knows *when* it's being run. When loading a fork choice from the store and a slot clock isn't handy I've just used the `slot` that was saved in the `fork_choice_store`. That seems like it would be a faithful representation of the slot when we saved it. I added the `genesis_time: u64` to the `BeaconChain`. It's small, constant and nice to have around. Since we're using FC for the fin/just checkpoints, we no longer get the `0x00..00` roots at genesis. You can see I had to remove a work-around in `ef-tests` here: b56be3bc2. I can't find any reason why this would be an issue, if anything I think it'll be better since the genesis-alias has caught us out a few times (0x00..00 isn't actually a real root). Edit: I did find a case where the `network` expected the 0x00..00 alias and patched it here: 3f26ac3e2. You'll notice a lot of changes in tests. Generally, tests should be functionally equivalent.

Separate execution payloads in the DB (#3157) ## Proposed Changes Reduce post-merge disk usage by not storing finalized execution payloads in Lighthouse's database. :warning: **This is achieved in a backwards-incompatible way for networks that have already merged** :warning:. Kiln users and shadow fork enjoyers will be unable to downgrade after running the code from this PR. The upgrade migration may take several minutes to run, and can't be aborted after it begins. The main changes are: - New column in the database called `ExecPayload`, keyed by beacon block root. - The `BeaconBlock` column now stores blinded blocks only. - Lots of places that previously used full blocks now use blinded blocks, e.g. analytics APIs, block replay in the DB, etc. - On finalization: - `prune_abanonded_forks` deletes non-canonical payloads whilst deleting non-canonical blocks. - `migrate_db` deletes finalized canonical payloads whilst deleting finalized states. - Conversions between blinded and full blocks are implemented in a compositional way, duplicating some work from Sean's PR #3134. - The execution layer has a new `get_payload_by_block_hash` method that reconstructs a payload using the EE's `eth_getBlockByHash` call. - I've tested manually that it works on Kiln, using Geth and Nethermind. - This isn't necessarily the most efficient method, and new engine APIs are being discussed to improve this: https://github.com/ethereum/execution-apis/pull/146. - We're depending on the `ethers` master branch, due to lots of recent changes. We're also using a workaround for https://github.com/gakonst/ethers-rs/issues/1134. - Payload reconstruction is used in the HTTP API via `BeaconChain::get_block`, which is now `async`. Due to the `async` fn, the `blocking_json` wrapper has been removed. - Payload reconstruction is used in network RPC to serve blocks-by-{root,range} responses. Here the `async` adjustment is messier, although I think I've managed to come up with a reasonable compromise: the handlers take the `SendOnDrop` by value so that they can drop it on _task completion_ (after the `fn` returns). Still, this is introducing disk reads onto core executor threads, which may have a negative performance impact (thoughts appreciated). ## Additional Info - [x] For performance it would be great to remove the cloning of full blocks when converting them to blinded blocks to write to disk. I'm going to experiment with a `put_block` API that takes the block by value, breaks it into a blinded block and a payload, stores the blinded block, and then re-assembles the full block for the caller. - [x] We should measure the latency of blocks-by-root and blocks-by-range responses. - [x] We should add integration tests that stress the payload reconstruction (basic tests done, issue for more extensive tests: https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/3159) - [x] We should (manually) test the schema v9 migration from several prior versions, particularly as blocks have changed on disk and some migrations rely on being able to load blocks.

It used to be `[block, finalized, head]` and now it's `[block, head, finalized]`. It was easier this way and I don't think we were making any promises about SSE event ordering so it's not "breaking". I've made it so fork choice will run when it's first constructed. I did this because I wanted to have a cached version of the last call to `get_head`. Ensuring `get_head` has been run *at least once* means that the cached values doesn't need to wrapped in an `Option`. This was fairly simple, it just involved passing a `slot` to the constructor so it knows *when* it's being run. When loading a fork choice from the store and a slot clock isn't handy I've just used the `slot` that was saved in the `fork_choice_store`. That seems like it would be a faithful representation of the slot when we saved it. I added the `genesis_time: u64` to the `BeaconChain`. It's small, constant and nice to have around. Since we're using FC for the fin/just checkpoints, we no longer get the `0x00..00` roots at genesis. You can see I had to remove a work-around in `ef-tests` here: b56be3bc2. I can't find any reason why this would be an issue, if anything I think it'll be better since the genesis-alias has caught us out a few times (0x00..00 isn't actually a real root). Edit: I did find a case where the `network` expected the 0x00..00 alias and patched it here: 3f26ac3e2. You'll notice a lot of changes in tests. Generally, tests should be functionally equivalent. Here are the things creating the most diff-noise in tests: - Changing tests to be `tokio::async` tests. - Adding `.await` to fork choice, block processing and block production functions. - Refactor of the `canonical_head` "API" provided by the `BeaconChain`. E.g., `chain.canonical_head.cached_head()` instead of `chain.canonical_head.read()`. - Wrapping `SignedBeaconBlock` in an `Arc`. - In the `beacon_chain/tests/block_verification`, we can't use the `lazy_static` `CHAIN_SEGMENT` variable anymore since it's generated with an async function. We just generate it in each test, not so efficient but hopefully insignificant. I had to disable `rayon` concurrent tests in the `fork_choice` tests. This is because the use of `rayon` and `block_on` was causing a panic. Co-authored-by: Mac L <mjladson@pm.me>

Use the forwards iterator more often (#2376) ## Issue Addressed NA ## Primary Change When investigating memory usage, I noticed that retrieving a block from an early slot (e.g., slot 900) would cause a sharp increase in the memory footprint (from 400mb to 800mb+) which seemed to be ever-lasting. After some investigation, I found that the reverse iteration from the head back to that slot was the likely culprit. To counter this, I've switched the `BeaconChain::block_root_at_slot` to use the forwards iterator, instead of the reverse one. I also noticed that the networking stack is using `BeaconChain::root_at_slot` to check if a peer is relevant (`check_peer_relevance`). Perhaps the steep, seemingly-random-but-consistent increases in memory usage are caused by the use of this function. Using the forwards iterator with the HTTP API alleviated the sharp increases in memory usage. It also made the response much faster (before it felt like to took 1-2s, now it feels instant). ## Additional Changes In the process I also noticed that we have two functions for getting block roots: - `BeaconChain::block_root_at_slot`: returns `None` for a skip slot. - `BeaconChain::root_at_slot`: returns the previous root for a skip slot. I unified these two functions into `block_root_at_slot` and added the `WhenSlotSkipped` enum. Now, the caller must be explicit about the skip-slot behaviour when requesting a root. Additionally, I replaced `vec![]` with `Vec::with_capacity` in `store::chunked_vector::range_query`. I stumbled across this whilst debugging and made this modification to see what effect it would have (not much). It seems like a decent change to keep around, but I'm not concerned either way. Also, `BeaconChain::get_ancestor_block_root` is unused, so I got rid of it :wastebasket:. ## Additional Info I haven't also done the same for state roots here. Whilst it's possible and a good idea, it's more work since the fwds iterators are presently block-roots-specific. Whilst there's a few places a reverse iteration of state roots could be triggered (e.g., attestation production, HTTP API), they're no where near as common as the `check_peer_relevance` call. As such, I think we should get this PR merged first, then come back for the state root iters. I made an issue here https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/2377.
