## Issue Addressed
I noticed that [this build](https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/actions/runs/3269950873/jobs/5378036501) wasn't marked failed by Bors when the `syncing-simulator-ubuntu` job failed. This is because that job is absent from the `bors.toml` config.
## Proposed Changes
Add missing jobs to Bors config so that they are required:
- `syncing-simulator-ubuntu`
- `slasher-tests`
- `disallowed-from-async-lint`
The `disallowed-from-async-lint` was previously allowed to fail because it was considered beta, but I think it's stable enough now we may as well require it.
Overrides any previous option that enables the eth1 service.
Useful for operating a `light` beacon node.

## Issue Addressed
Add flag to lengthen execution layer timeouts
Which issue # does this PR address?
#3607
## Proposed Changes
Added execution-timeout-multiplier flag and a cli test to ensure the execution layer config has the multiplier set correctly.
Please list or describe the changes introduced by this PR.
Add execution_timeout_multiplier to the execution layer config as Option<u32> and pass the u32 to HttpJsonRpc.
## Additional Info
Not certain that this is the best way to implement it so I'd appreciate any feedback.
Please provide any additional information. For example, future considerations

## Issue Addressed
Fix a bug in block production that results in blocks with 0 attestations during the first slot of an epoch.
The bug is marked by debug logs of the form:
> DEBG Discarding attestation because of missing ancestor, block_root: 0x3cc00d9c9e0883b2d0db8606278f2b8423d4902f9a1ee619258b5b60590e64f8, pivot_slot: 4042591
It occurs when trying to look up the shuffling decision root for an attestation from a slot which is prior to fork choice's finalized block. This happens frequently when proposing in the first slot of the epoch where we have:
- `current_epoch == n`
- `attestation.data.target.epoch == n - 1`
- attestation shuffling epoch `== n - 3` (decision block being the last block of `n - 3`)
- `state.finalized_checkpoint.epoch == n - 2` (first block of `n - 2` is finalized)
Hence the shuffling decision slot is out of range of the fork choice backwards iterator _by a single slot_.
Unfortunately this bug was hidden when we weren't pruning fork choice, and then reintroduced in v2.5.1 when we fixed the pruning (https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/releases/tag/v2.5.1). There's no way to turn that off or disable the filtering in our current release, so we need a new release to fix this issue.
Fortunately, it also does not occur on every epoch boundary because of the gradual pruning of fork choice every 256 blocks (~8 epochs):
01e84b71f5/consensus/proto_array/src/proto_array_fork_choice.rs (L16)01e84b71f5/consensus/proto_array/src/proto_array.rs (L713-L716)
So the probability of proposing a 0-attestation block given a proposal assignment is approximately `1/32 * 1/8 = 0.39%`.
## Proposed Changes
- Load the block's shuffling ID from fork choice and verify it against the expected shuffling ID of the head state. This code was initially written before we had settled on a representation of shuffling IDs, so I think it's a nice simplification to make use of them here rather than more ad-hoc logic that fundamentally does the same thing.
## Additional Info
Thanks to @moshe-blox for noticing this issue and bringing it to our attention.
## Issue Addressed
Closes https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/2371
## Proposed Changes
Backport some changes from `tree-states` that remove duplicated calculations of the `proposer_index`.
With this change the proposer index should be calculated only once for each block, and then plumbed through to every place it is required.
## Additional Info
In future I hope to add more data to the consensus context that is cached on a per-epoch basis, like the effective balances of validators and the base rewards.
There are some other changes to remove indexing in tests that were also useful for `tree-states` (the `tree-states` types don't implement `Index`).
## Issue Addressed
Implements new optimistic sync test format from https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/pull/2982.
## Proposed Changes
- Add parsing and runner support for the new test format.
- Extend the mock EL with a set of canned responses keyed by block hash. Although this doubles up on some of the existing functionality I think it's really nice to use compared to the `preloaded_responses` or static responses. I think we could write novel new opt sync tests using these primtives much more easily than the previous ones. Forks are natively supported, and different responses to `forkchoiceUpdated` and `newPayload` are also straight-forward.
## Additional Info
Blocked on merge of the spec PR and release of new test vectors.
## Issue Addressed
While digging around in some logs I noticed that queries for validators by pubkey were taking 10ms+, which seemed too long. This was due to a loop through the entire validator registry for each lookup.
## Proposed Changes
Rather than using a loop through the register, this PR utilises the pubkey cache which is usually initialised at the head*. In case the cache isn't built, we fall back to the previous loop logic. In the vast majority of cases I expect the cache will be built, as the validator client queries at the `head` where all caches should be built.
## Additional Info
*I had to modify the cache build that runs after fork choice to build the pubkey cache. I think it had been optimised out, perhaps accidentally. I think it's preferable to have the exit cache and the pubkey cache built on the head state, as they are required for verifying deposits and exits respectively, and we may as well build them off the hot path of block processing. Previously they'd get built the first time a deposit or exit needed to be verified.
I've deleted the unused `map_state` function which was obsoleted by `map_state_and_execution_optimistic`.

1. ci would dowload the bls test cases from https://github.com/ethereum/bls12-381-tests/
2. all the bls test cases(except eth ones) would use cases in the archive from step one
3. The bls test cases from https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-spec-tests would stay there and no use . For the future , these bls test cases would be remove suggested from https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-spec-tests/issues/25 . So it would do no harm and compatible for future cases.

Question:
I am not sure if I should implement tests about `deserialization_G1`, `deserialization_G2` and `hash_to_G2` for the issue.
## Proposed Changes
In this change I've added a new beacon_node cli flag `--execution-jwt-secret-key` for passing the JWT secret directly as string.
Without this flag, it was non-trivial to pass a secrets file containing a JWT secret key without compromising its contents into some management repo or fiddling around with manual file mounts for cloud-based deployments.
When used in combination with environment variables, the secret can be injected into container-based systems like docker & friends quite easily.
It's both possible to either specify the file_path to the JWT secret or pass the JWT secret directly.
I've modified the docs and attached a test as well.
## Additional Info
The logic has been adapted a bit so that either one of `--execution-jwt` or `--execution-jwt-secret-key` must be set when specifying `--execution-endpoint` so that it's still compatible with the semantics before this change and there's at least one secret provided.

## Proposed Changes
Add under a feature flag the required changes to subscribe to long lived subnets in a deterministic way
## Additional Info
There is an additional required change that is actually searching for peers using the prefix, but I find that it's best to make this change in the future

## Issue Addressed
N/A
## Proposed Changes
With https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/3214 we made it such that you can either have 1 auth endpoint or multiple non auth endpoints. Now that we are post merge on all networks (testnets and mainnet), we cannot progress a chain without a dedicated auth execution layer connection so there is no point in having a non-auth eth1-endpoint for syncing deposit cache.
This code removes all fallback related code in the eth1 service. We still keep the single non-auth endpoint since it's useful for testing.
## Additional Info
This removes all eth1 fallback related metrics that were relevant for the monitoring service, so we might need to change the api upstream.
## Issue Addressed
The release CI is currently broken due to the addition of the `protoc` dependency. Here's a failure of the release flow running on my fork: https://github.com/michaelsproul/lighthouse/actions/runs/3155541478/jobs/5134317334
## Proposed Changes
- Install `protoc` on Windows and Mac so that it's available for `cargo install`.
- Install an x86_64 binary in the Cross image for the aarch64 platform: we need a binary that runs on the host, _not_ on the target.
- Fix `macos` local testnet CI by using the Github API key to dodge rate limiting (this issue: https://github.com/actions/runner-images/issues/602).
## Proposed Changes
Add a new Cargo compilation profile called `maxperf` which enables more aggressive compiler optimisations at the expense of compilation time.
Some rough initial benchmarks show that this can provide up to a 25% reduction to run time for CPU bound tasks like block processing: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15jHuZe7lLHhZq9Nw8kc6EL0Qh_N_YAYqkW2NQ_Afmtk/edit
The numbers in that spreadsheet compare the `consensus-context` branch from #3604 to the same branch compiled with the `maxperf` profile using:
```
PROFILE=maxperf make install-lcli
```
## Additional Info
The downsides of the maxperf profile are:
- It increases compile times substantially, which will particularly impact low-spec hardware. Compiling `lcli` is about 3x slower. Compiling Lighthouse is about 5x slower on my 5950X: 17m 38s rather than 3m 28s.
As a result I think we should not enable this everywhere by default.
- **Option 1**: enable by default for our released binaries. This gives the majority of users the fastest version of `lighthouse` possible, at the expense of slowing down our release CI. Source builds will continue to use the default `release` profile unless users opt-in to `maxperf`.
- **Option 2**: enable by default for source builds. This gives users building from source an edge, but makes them pay for it with compilation time.
I think I would prefer Option 1. I'll try doing some benchmarking to see how long a maxperf build of Lighthouse would take on GitHub actions.

## Issue Addressed
Resolves#3516
## Proposed Changes
Adds a beacon fallback function for running a beacon node http query on all available fallbacks instead of returning on a first successful result. Uses the new `run_on_all` method for attestation and sync committee subscriptions.
