Indicate that invalid blocks are optimistic (#3383)
## Issue Addressed NA ## Proposed Changes This PR will make Lighthouse return blocks with invalid payloads via the API with `execution_optimistic = true`. This seems a bit awkward, however I think it's better than returning a 404 or some other error. Let's consider the case where the only possible head is invalid (#3370 deals with this). In such a scenario all of the duties endpoints will start failing because the head is invalid. I think it would be better if the duties endpoints continue to work, because it's likely that even though the head is invalid the duties are still based upon valid blocks and we want the VC to have them cached. There's no risk to the VC here because we won't actually produce an attestation pointing to an invalid head. Ultimately, I don't think it's particularly important for us to distinguish between optimistic and invalid blocks on the API. Neither should be trusted and the only *real* reason that we track this is so we can try and fork around the invalid blocks. ## Additional Info - ~~Blocked on #3370~~ |

Add execution_optimistic flag to HTTP responses (#3070)
## Issue Addressed #3031 ## Proposed Changes Updates the following API endpoints to conform with https://github.com/ethereum/beacon-APIs/pull/190 and https://github.com/ethereum/beacon-APIs/pull/196 - [x] `beacon/states/{state_id}/root` - [x] `beacon/states/{state_id}/fork` - [x] `beacon/states/{state_id}/finality_checkpoints` - [x] `beacon/states/{state_id}/validators` - [x] `beacon/states/{state_id}/validators/{validator_id}` - [x] `beacon/states/{state_id}/validator_balances` - [x] `beacon/states/{state_id}/committees` - [x] `beacon/states/{state_id}/sync_committees` - [x] `beacon/headers` - [x] `beacon/headers/{block_id}` - [x] `beacon/blocks/{block_id}` - [x] `beacon/blocks/{block_id}/root` - [x] `beacon/blocks/{block_id}/attestations` - [x] `debug/beacon/states/{state_id}` - [x] `debug/beacon/heads` - [x] `validator/duties/attester/{epoch}` - [x] `validator/duties/proposer/{epoch}` - [x] `validator/duties/sync/{epoch}` Updates the following Server-Sent Events: - [x] `events?topics=head` - [x] `events?topics=block` - [x] `events?topics=finalized_checkpoint` - [x] `events?topics=chain_reorg` ## Backwards Incompatible There is a very minor breaking change with the way the API now handles requests to `beacon/blocks/{block_id}/root` and `beacon/states/{state_id}/root` when `block_id` or `state_id` is the `Root` variant of `BlockId` and `StateId` respectively. Previously a request to a non-existent root would simply echo the root back to the requester: ``` curl "http://localhost:5052/eth/v1/beacon/states/0xaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa/root" {"data":{"root":"0xaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"}} ``` Now it will return a `404`: ``` curl "http://localhost:5052/eth/v1/beacon/blocks/0xaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa/root" {"code":404,"message":"NOT_FOUND: beacon block with root 0xaaaa…aaaa","stacktraces":[]} ``` In addition to this is the block root `0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000` previously would return the genesis block. It will now return a `404`: ``` curl "http://localhost:5052/eth/v1/beacon/blocks/0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000" {"code":404,"message":"NOT_FOUND: beacon block with root 0x0000…0000","stacktraces":[]} ``` ## Additional Info - `execution_optimistic` is always set, and will return `false` pre-Bellatrix. I am also open to the idea of doing something like `#[serde(skip_serializing_if = "Option::is_none")]`. - The value of `execution_optimistic` is set to `false` where possible. Any computation that is reliant on the `head` will simply use the `ExecutionStatus` of the head (unless the head block is pre-Bellatrix). Co-authored-by: Paul Hauner <paul@paulhauner.com> |

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 😅)
- 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](

Separate execution payloads in the DB (#3157)
## Proposed Changes Reduce post-merge disk usage by not storing finalized execution payloads in Lighthouse's database. ⚠️ **This is achieved in a backwards-incompatible way for networks that have already merged** ⚠️. 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.

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 🗑️. ## 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. |

Implement standard eth2.0 API (#1569)
- Resolves #1550 - Resolves #824 - Resolves #825 - Resolves #1131 - Resolves #1411 - Resolves #1256 - Resolve #1177 - Includes the `ShufflingId` struct initially defined in #1492. That PR is now closed and the changes are included here, with significant bug fixes. - Implement the https://github.com/ethereum/eth2.0-APIs in a new `http_api` crate using `warp`. This replaces the `rest_api` crate. - Add a new `common/eth2` crate which provides a wrapper around `reqwest`, providing the HTTP client that is used by the validator client and for testing. This replaces the `common/remote_beacon_node` crate. - Create a `http_metrics` crate which is a dedicated server for Prometheus metrics (they are no longer served on the same port as the REST API). We now have flags for `--metrics`, `--metrics-address`, etc. - Allow the `subnet_id` to be an optional parameter for `VerifiedUnaggregatedAttestation::verify`. This means it does not need to be provided unnecessarily by the validator client. - Move `fn map_attestation_committee` in `mod beacon_chain::attestation_verification` to a new `fn with_committee_cache` on the `BeaconChain` so the same cache can be used for obtaining validator duties. - Add some other helpers to `BeaconChain` to assist with common API duties (e.g., `block_root_at_slot`, `head_beacon_block_root`). - Change the `NaiveAggregationPool` so it can index attestations by `hash_tree_root(attestation.data)`. This is a requirement of the API. - Add functions to `BeaconChainHarness` to allow it to create slashings and exits. - Allow for `eth1::Eth1NetworkId` to go to/from a `String`. - Add functions to the `OperationPool` to allow getting all objects in the pool. - Add function to `BeaconState` to check if a committee cache is initialized. - Fix bug where `seconds_per_eth1_block` was not transferring over from `YamlConfig` to `ChainSpec`. - Add the `deposit_contract_address` to `YamlConfig` and `ChainSpec`. We needed to be able to return it in an API response. - Change some uses of serde `serialize_with` and `deserialize_with` to a single use of `with` (code quality). - Impl `Display` and `FromStr` for several BLS fields. - Check for clock discrepancy when VC polls BN for sync state (with +/- 1 slot tolerance). This is not intended to be comprehensive, it was just easy to do. - See #1434 for a per-endpoint overview. - Seeking clarity here: https://github.com/ethereum/eth2.0-APIs/issues/75 - [x] Add docs for prom port to close #1256 - [x] Follow up on this #1177 - [x] ~~Follow up with #1424~~ Will fix in future PR. - [x] Follow up with #1411 - [x] ~~Follow up with #1260~~ Will fix in future PR. - [x] Add quotes to all integers. - [x] Remove `rest_types` - [x] Address missing beacon block error. (#1629) - [x] ~~Add tests for lighthouse/peers endpoints~~ Wontfix - [x] ~~Follow up with validator status proposal~~ Tracked in #1434 - [x] Unify graffiti structs - [x] ~~Start server when waiting for genesis?~~ Will fix in future PR. - [x] TODO in http_api tests - [x] Move lighthouse endpoints off /eth/v1 - [x] Update docs to link to standard - ~~Blocked on #1586~~ Co-authored-by: Michael Sproul <michael@sigmaprime.io> |
