Tweaked the error message for ease of investigation as `Failed to update eth1 cache` is used in multiple places. 😃
This is a little bit of a tip-of-the-iceberg PR. It houses a lot of code changes in the libp2p dependency.
This needs a bit of thorough testing before merging.
The primary code changes are:
- General libp2p dependency update
- Gossipsub refactor to shift compression into gossipsub providing performance improvements and improved API for handling compression

## Proposed Changes
`@potuz` on the Eth R&D Discord observed that Lighthouse blocks on Pyrmont were always arriving at other nodes after at least 1 second. Part of this could be due to processing and slow propagation, but metrics also revealed that the Lighthouse nodes were usually taking 400-600ms to even just produce a block before broadcasting it.
I tracked the slowness down to the lack of a pre-built tree hash cache (THC) on the states being used for block production. This was due to using the head state for block production, which lacks a THC in order to keep fork choice fast (cloning a THC takes at least 30ms for 100k validators). This PR modifies block production to clone a state from the snapshot cache rather than the head, which speeds things up by 200-400ms by avoiding the tree hash cache rebuild. In practice this seems to have cut block production time down to 300ms or less. Ideally we could _remove_ the snapshot from the cache (and save the 30ms), but it is required for when we re-process the block after signing it with the validator client.
## Alternatives
I experimented with 2 alternatives to this approach, before deciding on it:
* Alternative 1: ensure the `head` has a tree hash cache. This is too slow, as it imposes a +30ms hit on fork choice, which currently takes ~5ms (with occasional spikes).
* Alternative 2: use `Arc<BeaconSnapshot>` in the snapshot cache and share snapshots between the cache and the `head`. This made fork choice blazing fast (1ms), and block production the same as in this PR, but had a negative impact on block processing which I don't think is worth it. It ended up being necessary to clone the full state from the snapshot cache during block production, imposing the +30ms penalty there _as well_ as in block production.
In contract, the approach in this PR should only impact block production, and it improves it! Yay for pareto improvements 🎉
## Additional Info
This commit (ac59dfa) is currently running on all the Lighthouse Pyrmont nodes, and I've added a dashboard to the Pyrmont grafana instance with the metrics.
In future work we should optimise the attestation packing, which consumes around 30-60ms and is now a substantial contributor to the total.
## Issue Addressed

This follows on from @blacktemplar's work in #2018.
- Allows the VC to connect to multiple BN for redundancy.
- Update the simulator so some nodes always need to rely on their fallback.
- Adds some extra deprecation warnings for `--eth1-endpoint`
- Pass `SignatureBytes` as a reference instead of by value.

* Broadcast slashings when the `--slasher-broadcast` flag is provided.
* In the process of implementing this I refactored the slasher service into its own crate so that it could access the network code without creating a circular dependency. I moved the responsibility for putting slashings into the op pool into the service as well, as it makes sense for it to handle the whole slashing lifecycle.

## Proposed Changes
There seemed to be confusion among discord users on the eth1 fallback logging
```
WARN Error connecting to eth1 node. Trying fallback ..., endpoint: http://127.0.0.1:8545/, service: eth1_rpc
```
The assumption users seem to be making here is that it is trying the fallback and fallback=endpoint in the log.
This PR improves the logging to be like
```
WARN Error connecting to eth1 node endpoint, endpoint: http://127.0.0.1:8545/, action: trying fallbacks, service: eth1_rpc
```
I think this is a bit more clear that the endpoint that failed is the one in the log.

## Issue Addressed
Users are reporting errors for sending attestations to peers. If the clock sync is a little out or we receive attestations before blocks, peers are being too harshly penalized. They can get scored many times per missing block and we typically need these peers on subnets.
## Proposed Changes
This removes the penalization for missing blocks with attestations. The penalty should be handled when #635 gets built as it will allow us to group attestations per missing block and penalize once.
## Issue Addressed
Closes#2028
Replaces #2059
## Proposed Changes
If writing to the database fails while importing a block, revert fork choice to the last version stored on disk. This prevents fork choice from being ahead of the blocks on disk. Having fork choice ahead is particularly bad if it is later successfully written to disk, because it renders the database corrupt (see #2028).
## Additional Info
* This mitigation might fail if the head+fork choice haven't been persisted yet, which can only happen at first startup (see #2067)
* This relies on it being OK for the head tracker to be ahead of fork choice. I figure this is tolerable because blocks only get added to the head tracker after successfully being written on disk _and_ to fork choice, so even if fork choice reverts a little bit, when the pruning algorithm runs, those blocks will still be on disk and OK to prune. The pruning algorithm also doesn't rely on heads being unique, technically it's OK for multiple blocks from the same linear chain segment to be present in the head tracker. This begs the question of #1785 (i.e. things would be simpler with the head tracker out of the way). Alternatively, this PR could just revert the head tracker as well (I'll look into this tomorrow).
## Issue Addressed
Closes#1264
## Proposed Changes
* Milagro BLS: tweak the feature flags so that Milagro doesn't get compiled if we're using BLST. Profiling showed that it was consuming about 1 minute of CPU time out of 60 minutes of CPU time (real time ~15 mins). A 1.6% saving.
* Reduce monomorphization: compiling for 3 different `EthSpec` types causes a heck of a lot of generic functions to be instantiated (monomorphized). Removing 2 of 3 cuts the LLVM+linking step from around 250 seconds to 180 seconds, a saving of 70 seconds (real time!). This applies only to `make` and not the CI build, because we test with the minimal spec on CI.
* Update `web3` crate to v0.13. This is perhaps the most controversial change, because it requires axing some deposit contract tools from `lcli`. I suspect these tools weren't used much anyway, and could be maintained separately, but I'm also happy to revert this change. However, it does save us a lot of compile time. With #1839, we now have 3 versions of Tokio (and all of Tokio's deps). This change brings us down to 2 versions, but 1 should be achievable once web3 (and reqwest) move to Tokio 0.3.
* Remove `lcli` from the Docker image. It's a dev tool and can be built from the repo if required.
## Issue Addressed

## Proposed Changes
The log was originally intended to verify the correct logic and ordering of events when scoring peers. The queued tasks can be structured in such a way that peers can be banned after they are disconnected. Therefore the error log is now downgraded to debug log.
## Issue Addressed
#1992 and #1987, and also to be considered a continuation of #1751
## Proposed Changes
many changed files but most are renaming to align the code with the semantics of `--network`
- remove the `--network` default value (in clap) and instead set it after checking the `network` and `testnet-dir` flags
- move `eth2_testnet_config` crate to `eth2_network_config`
- move `Eth2TestnetConfig` to `Eth2NetworkConfig`
- move `DEFAULT_HARDCODED_TESTNET` to `DEFAULT_HARDCODED_NETWORK`
- `beacon_node`s `get_eth2_testnet_config` loads the `DEFAULT_HARDCODED_NETWORK` if there is no network nor testnet provided
- `boot_node`s config loads the config same as the `beacon_node`, it was using the configuration only for preconfigured networks (That code is ~1year old so I asume it was not intended)
- removed a one year old comment stating we should try to emulate `https://github.com/eth2-clients/eth2-testnets/tree/master/nimbus/testnet1` it looks outdated (?)
- remove `lighthouse`s `load_testnet_config` in favor of `get_eth2_network_config` to centralize that logic (It had differences)
- some spelling

## Proposed Changes
This was mostly done to find the reason why LH was dropping peers from Nimbus. It proved to be useful so I think it's worth it. But there is also some functional stuff here
- Add metrics for rpc errors per client, error type and direction
- Add metrics for downscoring events per source type, client and penalty type
- Add metrics for gossip validation results per client for non-accepted messages
- Make the RPC handler return errors and requests/responses in the order we see them
- Allow a small burst for the Ping rate limit, from 1 every 5 seconds to 2 every 10 seconds
- Send rate limiting errors with a particular code and use that same code to identify them. I picked something different to 128 since that is most likely what other clients are using for their own errors
- Remove some unused code in the `PeerAction` and the rpc handler
- Remove the unused variant `RateLimited`. tTis was never produced directly, since the only way to get the request's protocol is via de handler. The handler upon receiving from LH a response with an error (rate limited in this case) emits this event with the missing info (It was always like this, just pointing out that we do downscore rate limiting errors regardless of the change)
Metrics for Nimbus looked like this:
Downscoring events: `increase(libp2p_peer_actions_per_client{client="Nimbus"}[5m])`
RPC Errors: `increase(libp2p_rpc_errors_per_client{client="Nimbus"}[5m])`
Unaccepted gossip message: `increase(gossipsub_unaccepted_messages_per_client{client="Nimbus"}[5m])`

## Issue Addressed

## Proposed Changes
Pass blocks that fail gossip verification to the slasher. Blocks that are successfully verified are not passed immediately, but will be passed as part of full block verification.
## Issue
Some eth1 clients are missing deposit logs on mainnet for multiple reasons (not fully synced, eth1 client issues) because of which we are getting `FailedToInsertDeposit` errors.
Ideally, LH should pick up where it left off after pointing it to a nice eth1 client endpoint (which has all deposits).
However, I have seen instances where LH keeps getting `FailedToInsertDeposit` even after switching to a good endpoint. Only deleting the beacon directory (which also wipes the eth1 cache) and resyncing the eth1 caches seems to be the solution. This wouldn't be great for mainnet if you have to sync your beacon node again as well.
## Proposed Changes
Add a `--purge-eth1-db` option which just wipes the eth1 cache and doesn't touch the rest of the beacon db.
Still need to investigate if and why LH isn't picking up where it left off for the deposit logs sync, but I think it would be good to have an option to just delete eth1 caches regardless.

- Fixes#2037
- `validators-dir` and `secrets-dir` flags don't really need to depend upon each other
- Fixes#2006 and Fixes#1995
Adds a `--privacy` CLI flag to the beacon node that users may opt into.

- Removes client identifying information from the identify libp2p protocol
- Changes the default graffiti to "" if no graffiti is set.
## Issue Addressed

## Proposed Changes
- Log about eth1 whilst waiting for genesis.
- For the block and deposit caches, update them after each download instead of when *all* downloads are complete.
- This prevents the case where a single timeout error can cause us to drop *all* previously download blocks/deposits.
- Set `max_log_requests_per_update` to avoid timeouts due to very large log counts in a response.
- Set `max_blocks_per_update` to prevent a single update of the block cache to download an unreasonable number of blocks.
- This shouldn't have any affect in normal use, it's just a safe-guard against bugs.
- Increase the timeout for eth1 calls from 15s to 60s, as per @pawanjay176's experience with Infura.

Update lighthouse to version `v1.0.2`.
There are two major updates in this version:
- Updates to the task executor to tokio 0.3 and all sub-dependencies relying on core execution, including libp2p
- Update BLST
## Description
This PR updates Lighthouse to tokio 0.3. It includes a number of dependency updates and some structural changes as to how we create and spawn tasks.
This also brings with it a number of various improvements:
- Discv5 update
- Libp2p update
- Fix for recompilation issues
- Improved UPnP port mapping handling
- Futures dependency update
- Log downgrade to traces for rejecting peers when we've reached our max

## Issue Addressed
part of #1883
## Proposed Changes
Adds a new cli argument `--eth1-endpoints` that can be used instead of `--eth1-endpoint` to specify a comma-separated list of endpoints. If the first endpoint returns an error for some request the other endpoints are tried in the given order.
## Additional Info
Currently if the first endpoint fails the fallbacks are used silently (except for `try_fallback_test_endpoint` that is used in `do_update` which logs a `WARN` for each endpoint that is not reachable). A question is if we should add more logs so that the user gets warned if his main endpoint is for example just slow and sometimes hits timeouts.
## Proposed Changes
A user on Discord reported build issues when trying to compile Lighthouse checked out to a path with spaces in it. I've fixed the issue upstream in `leveldb-sys` (https://github.com/skade/leveldb-sys/pull/22), but rather than waiting for a new release of the `leveldb` crate, we can also work around the issue by disabling Snappy in LevelDB, which we weren't using anyway.
This may also have the side-effect of slightly improving compilation times, as LevelDB+Snappy was found to be a substantial contributor to build time (although I'm not sure how much was LevelDB and how much was Snappy).
## Issue Addressed
- Add metrics to keep track of peer counts by sync type
- Add metric to keep track of the number of syncing chains in range
## Proposed Changes
Plugin to the network metrics update interval and update too the counts for peers wrt to their sync status with us
## Additional Info
For the peer counts
- By the way it is implemented the numbers won't always match to the total peer count in the `libp2p` metric.
- Updating the gauge with every change is messy because it requires to be updated on connection (in the `eth2_libp2p` crate, while metrics are defined in the `network` crate) on Goodbye sent (for an `IrrelevantPeer`) either in the `beacon_processor` or the `peer_manager`, and on disconnection. Since this is not a critical metric I think counting once every second is enough. If you think more accuracy is needed we can do it too, but it would be harder to maintain)
ATM those look like this
## Issue Addressed

## Proposed Changes
- Adds a HTTP server to the VC which provides Prometheus metrics.
- Moves the health metrics into the `lighthouse_metrics` crate so it can be shared between BN/VC.
- Sprinkle some metrics around the VC.
- Update the book to indicate that we now have VC metrics.
- Shifts the "waiting for genesis" logic later in the `ProductionValidatorClient::new_from_cli`
- This is worth attention during the review.

## Issue Addressed
Resolves#1890
## Proposed Changes
Change the slasher database schema to key indexed attestations by `(target_epoch, indexed_attestation_root)` instead of just `indexed_attestation_root`. This allows more straight-forward pruning (linear scan), that is also "re-entrant". By re-entrant, we mean that a pruning pass that gets stuck because of a `MapFull` error can attempt to commit midway, and be resumed later without issue. The previous pruning strategy for indexed attestations did not have this property. There was also a flaw in the previous pruning that could leave "zombie" indexed attestations in the database (ones not referenced by any attester record), which could build up and contribute to bloat (although in practice I think they occur quite infrequently).
## Additional Info
During testing I noticed that a `MapFull` error can still occur during the commit of the transaction itself, which is irritating, but not unbearable. This PR should at least reduce the frequency with which users need to manually resize their DB, and if the `MapFull` on commit rears its ugly head too often we could use a dynamic strategy (temporarily increase the size of the map until the transaction commits).
The extra bytes for the epoch make the database a bit heavier, so the size estimate docs have been updated to reflect this. This is also a breaking schema change, so anyone using a v0 database from a few hours ago will need to drop it and update 😅
This is an implementation of a slasher that lives inside the BN and can be enabled via `lighthouse bn --slasher`.
Features included in this PR:
- [x] Detection of attester slashing conditions (double votes, surrounds existing, surrounded by existing)
- [x] Integration into Lighthouse's attestation verification flow
- [x] Detection of proposer slashing conditions
- [x] Extraction of attestations from blocks as they are verified
- [x] Compression of chunks
- [x] Configurable history length
- [x] Pruning of old attestations and blocks
- [x] More tests
Future work:
* Focus on a slice of history separate from the most recent N epochs (e.g. epochs `current - K` to `current - M`)
* Run out-of-process
* Ingest attestations from the chain without a resync

## Issue Addressed
- Resolves#1424
## Proposed Changes
Add a `GET lighthouse/staking` that returns 200 if the node is ready to stake (i.e., `--eth1` flag is present) or a 404 otherwise.

## Proposed Changes
Adds the `--import-all-attestations` flag which tells the `network::AttestationService` to import/aggregate all attestations after verification (instead of only ones for subnets that are relevant to local validators).

## Proposed Changes
- Caches later blocks than is required by `ETH1_FOLLOW_DISTANCE`.
- Adds logging to `warn` if the eth1 cache is insufficiently primed.
- Use `max_by_key` instead of `max_by` in `BeaconChain::Eth1Chain` since it's simpler.
- Rename `voting_period_start_timestamp` to `voting_target_timestamp` for accuracy.
## Additional Info
The reason for eating into the `ETH1_FOLLOW_DISTANCE` and caching blocks that are closer to the head is due to possibility for `SECONDS_PER_ETH1_BLOCK` to be incorrect (as is the case for the Pyrmont testnet on Goerli).
If `SECONDS_PER_ETH1_BLOCK` is too short, we'll skip back too far from the head and skip over blocks that would be valid [`is_candidate_block`](https://github.com/ethereum/eth2.0-specs/blob/v1.0.0/specs/phase0/validator.md#eth1-data) blocks. This was the case on the Pyrmont testnet and resulted in Lighthouse choosing blocks that were about 30 minutes older than is ideal.
## Issue Addressed

## Issue Addressed
`BlocksByRange` requests were the main culprit of a series of timeouts to peer's requests in general because they produce build up in the router's processor. Those were moved to the blocking executor but a task is being spawned for each; also not ideal since the amount of resources we give to those is not controlled
## Proposed Changes
- Move `BlocksByRange` and `BlocksByRoots` to the `beacon_processor`. The processor crafts the responses and sends them.
- Move too the processing of `StatusMessage`s from other peers. This is a fast operation but it can also build up and won't scale if we keep it in the router (processing one at the time). These don't need to send an answer, so there is no harm in processing them "later" if that were to happen. Sending responses to status requests is still in the router, so we answer as soon as we see them.
- Some "extras" that are basically clean up:
- Split the `Worker` logic in sync methods (chain processing and rpc blocks), gossip methods (the majority of methods) and rpc methods (the new ones)
- Move the `status_message` function previously provided by the router's processor to a more central place since it is used by the router, sync, network_context and beacon_processor
- Some spelling
## Additional Info
What's left to decide/test more thoroughly is the length of the queues and the priority rules. @paulhauner suggested at some point to put status above attestations, and @AgeManning had described an importance of "protecting gossipsub" so my solution is leaving status requests in the router and RPC methods below attestations. Slashings and Exits are at the end.
## Issue Addressed

## Proposed Changes
Removes most of the temporary string initializations in network metrics and replaces them by directly using `&str`. This further improves on PR https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/1895.
For the subnet id handling the current approach uses a build script to create a static map. This has the disadvantage that the build script hardcodes the number of subnets. If we want to use more than 64 subnets we need to adjust this in the build script.
## Additional Info
We still have some string initializations for the enum `PeerKind`. To also replace that by `&str` I created a PR in the libp2p dependency: https://github.com/sigp/rust-libp2p/pull/91. Either we wait with merging until this dependency PR is merged (and all conflicts with the newest libp2p version are resolved) or we just merge as is and I will create another PR when the dependency is ready.

Looking at some logs from my Medalla node, we can see a discrepancy between the head finalized epoch and the migrator finalized epoch:

In an attempt to fix OOM issues and database consistency issues observed by some users after the introduction of compaction in v0.3.4, this PR makes the following changes:
* Run compaction less often: roughly every 1024 epochs, including after long periods of non-finality. I think the division check proposed by Paul is pretty solid, and ensures we don't miss any events where we should be compacting. LevelDB lacks an easy way to check the size of the DB, which would be another good trigger.
* Make it possible to disable the compaction on finalization using `--auto-compact-db=false`
* Make it possible to trigger a manual, single-threaded foreground compaction on start-up using `--compact-db`
* Downgrade the pruning log to `DEBUG`, as it's particularly noisy during sync
I would like to ship these changes to affected users ASAP, and will document them further in the Advanced Database section of the book if they prove effective.
## Issue Addressed
A peer might send a lot of requests that comply to the rate limit and the disconnect, this humongous pr makes sure we don't process them if the peer is not connected
This PR adds a number of improvements:
- Downgrade a warning log when we ignore blocks for gossipsub processing
- Revert a a correction to improve logging of peer score changes
- Shift syncing DB reads off the core-executor allowing parallel processing of large sync messages
- Correct the timeout logic of RPC chunk sends, giving more time before timing out RPC outbound messages.
## Issue Addressed
- RPC Errors were being logged twice: first in the peer manager and then again in the router, so leave just the peer manager's one
- The "reduce peer count" warn message gets thrown to the user for every missed chunk, so instead print it when the request times out and also do not include there info that is not relevant to the user
- The processor didn't have the service tag so add it
- Impl `KV` for status message
- Do not downscore peers if we are the ones that timed out
Other small improvements
## Issue Addressed
Resolves#1801
## Proposed Changes
Verify queries to `attestation_data` are for no later than `current_slot + 1`. If they are later than this, return a 400.

## Issue Addressed
#1856
## Proposed Changes
- For clarity, the router's processor now only decides if a peer is compatible and it disconnects it or sends it to sync accordingly. No logic here regarding how useful is the peer.
- Update peer_sync_info's rules
- Add an `IrrelevantPeer` sync status to account for incompatible peers (maybe this should be "IncompatiblePeer" now that I think about it?) this state is update upon receiving an internal goodbye in the peer manager
- Misc code cleanups
- Reduce the need to create `StatusMessage`s (and thus, `Arc` accesses )
- Add missing calls to update the global sync state
The overall effect should be:
- More peers recognized as Behind, and less as Unknown
- Peers identified as incompatible
## Issue Addressed
- Asymmetric pings - Currently with symmetric ping intervals, lighthouse nodes race each other to ping often ending in simultaneous ping connections. This shifts the ping interval to be asymmetric based on inbound/outbound connections
- Correct inbound/outbound peer-db registering - It appears we were accounting inbound as outbound and vice versa in the peerdb, this has been corrected
- Improved logging
There is likely more to come - I'll leave this open as we investigate further testnets
## Issue Addressed
Using `heaptrack` I could see that ~75% of Lighthouse temporary allocations are caused by temporary string allocations here.
## Proposed Changes
Reduces temporary `String` allocations when updating metrics in the `network` crate. The solution isn't perfect since we rebuild our caches with each call, but it's a significant improvement.

## Proposed Changes
Increases the target peers for a subnet, so that subnet queries are executed until we have at least the minimum required peers for a mesh (`MESH_N_LOW`). We keep the limit of `6` target peers for aggregated subnet discovery queries, therefore the size (and the time needed) for a query doesn't change.
## Issue Addressed
#1606
## Proposed Changes
Uses dynamic gossipsub scoring parameters depending on the number of active validators as specified in https://gist.github.com/blacktemplar/5c1862cb3f0e32a1a7fb0b25e79e6e2c.
## Additional Info
Although the parameters got tested on Medalla, extensive testing using simulations on larger networks is still to be done and we expect that we need to change the parameters, although this might only affect constants within the dynamic parameter framework.

## Issue Addressed
Closes#1866
## Proposed Changes
* Compact the database on finalization. This removes the deleted states from disk completely. Because it happens in the background migrator, it doesn't block other database operations while it runs. On my Medalla node it took about 1 minute and shrank the database from 90GB to 9GB.
* Fix an inefficiency in the pruning algorithm where it would always use the genesis checkpoint as the `old_finalized_checkpoint` when running for the first time after start-up. This would result in loading lots of states one-at-a-time back to genesis, and storing a lot of block roots in memory. The new code stores the old finalized checkpoint on disk and only uses genesis if no checkpoint is already stored. This makes it both backwards compatible _and_ forwards compatible -- no schema change required!
* Introduce two new `INFO` logs to indicate when pruning has started and completed. Users seem to want to know this information without enabling debug logs!
Updates libp2p to the latest version.
This adds tokio 0.3 support and brings back yamux support.
This also updates some discv5 configuration parameters for leaner discovery queries
## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
Lets the networking behavior ignore messages of peers that are not connected. Furthermore, old peers are not removed from the peerdb based on score anymore but based on the disconnection time.
## Issue Addressed
- Related to #1691
## Proposed Changes
Adds the following API endpoints:
- `GET lighthouse/eth1/syncing`: status about how synced we are with Eth1.
- `GET lighthouse/eth1/block_cache`: all locally cached eth1 blocks.
- `GET lighthouse/eth1/deposit_cache`: all locally cached eth1 deposits.
Additionally:
- Moves some types from the `beacon_node/eth1` to the `common/eth2` crate, so they can be used in the API without duplication.
- Allow `update_deposit_cache` and `update_block_cache` to take an optional head block number to avoid duplicate requests.
## Additional Info

## Issue Addressed
Fixes head syncing
## Proposed Changes
- Get back to statusing peers after removing chain segments and making the peer manager deal with status according to the Sync status, preventing an old known deadlock
- Also a bug where a chain would get removed if the optimistic batch succeeds being empty

## Proposed Changes
As raised by @hermanjunge in a DM, the `http_api` tests have been observed taking 100+ minutes on debug. This PR:

## Issue Addressed
Sync edge case when we get an empty optimistic batch that passes validation and is inside the download buffer. Eventually the chain would reach the batch and treat it as an ugly state.
## Proposed Changes
- Handle the edge case advancing the chain's target + code clarification
- Some largey changes for readability + ergonomics since rust has try ops
- Better handling of bad batch and chain states
## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
Currently a banned peer will remain banned indefinitely as long as update is called on the score struct regularly. This fixes this bug and the score decay starts after `BANNED_BEFORE_DECAY` seconds after banning.
## Issue Addressed
Closes#1504Closes#1505
Replaces #1703Closes#1707
## Proposed Changes
* Update BLST and Milagro to versions compatible with BLSv4 spec
* Update Lighthouse to spec v1.0.0-rc.0, and update EF test vectors
* Use the v1.0.0 constants for `MainnetEthSpec`.
* Rename `InteropEthSpec` -> `V012LegacyEthSpec`
* Change all constants to suit the mainnet `v0.12.3` specification (i.e., Medalla).
* Deprecate the `--spec` flag for the `lighthouse` binary
* This value is now obtained from the `config_name` field of the `YamlConfig`.
* Built in testnet YAML files have been updated.
* Ignore the `--spec` value, if supplied, log a warning that it will be deprecated
* `lcli` still has the spec flag, that's fine because it's dev tooling.
* Remove the `E: EthSpec` from `YamlConfig`
* This means we need to deser the genesis `BeaconState` on-demand, but this is fine.
* Swap the old "minimal", "mainnet" strings over to the new `EthSpecId` enum.
* Always require a `CONFIG_NAME` field in `YamlConfig` (it used to have a default).
## Additional Info
Lots of breaking changes, do not merge! ~~We will likely need a Lighthouse v0.4.0 branch, and possibly a long-term v0.3.0 branch to keep Medalla alive~~.

Since we penalize more blocks by range requests that have large steps, it is possible to get requests that will never be processed.

- Change from compressing the whole testnet directory, to only compressing the genesis state file. This is the only file we need to compress and *not* compressing the others makes them work nicely with git.
- We can modify the boot nodes, configs, etc. without incurring an eternal binary-blob cost on our git history.
- This change is backwards compatible (i.e., non-breaking).

## Issue Addressed
Further testing revealed another edge case where we attempt to unban a peer that can be in a disconnected start. Although this causes no real issue, it does log an error to the user.
This PR adds a check to prevent this edge case and prevents the error being logged to the user.
This PR prevents a user-facing error.
It prevents optimistically unbanning a peer and instead checks the state of the peer before requesting the peers state to be unbanned.
As @AgeManning mentioned the newest libp2p version had some problems and got downgraded again on lighthouse master. This is an intermediate version that makes no problems and only adds a small change of allowing only one topic per message.
## Description
This downgrades the recent libp2p upgrade.
There were issues with the RPC which prevented syncing of the chain and this upgrade needs to be further investigated.
## Overview
This updates lighthouse to discovery v5.1
Note: This makes lighthouse's discovery not compatible with any previous version. Lighthouse cannot discover peers or send/receive ENR's from any previous version. This is a breaking change.
This resolves#1605
## Description
This increases the logging of the underlying UPnP tasks to inform the user of UPnP error/success.
This also decreases the batch syncing size to two epochs per batch.
## Description
Updates to the latest libp2p and includes gossipsub updates.
Of particular note is the limitation of a single topic per gossipsub message.

## Issue Addressed
Closes#800Closes#1713
## Proposed Changes
Implement the temporary state storage algorithm described in #800. Specifically:
* Add `DBColumn::BeaconStateTemporary`, for storing 0-length temporary marker values.
* Store intermediate states immediately as they are created, marked temporary. Delete the temporary flag if the block is processed successfully.
* Add a garbage collection process to delete leftover temporary states on start-up.
* Bump the database schema version to 2 so that a DB with temporary states can't accidentally be used with older versions of the software. The auto-migration is a no-op, but puts in place some infra that we can use for future migrations (e.g. #1784)
## Additional Info
There are two known race conditions, one potentially causing permanent faults (hopefully rare), and the other insignificant.
### Race 1: Permanent state marked temporary
EDIT: this has been fixed by the addition of a lock around the relevant critical section
There are 2 threads that are trying to store 2 different blocks that share some intermediate states (e.g. they both skip some slots from the current head). Consider this sequence of events:
1. Thread 1 checks if state `s` already exists, and seeing that it doesn't, prepares an atomic commit of `(s, s_temporary_flag)`.
2. Thread 2 does the same, but also gets as far as committing the state txn, finishing the processing of its block, and _deleting_ the temporary flag.
3. Thread 1 is (finally) scheduled again, and marks `s` as temporary with its transaction.
4.
a) The process is killed, or thread 1's block fails verification and the temp flag is not deleted. This is a permanent failure! Any attempt to load state `s` will fail... hope it isn't on the main chain! Alternatively (4b) happens...
b) Thread 1 finishes, and re-deletes the temporary flag. In this case the failure is transient, state `s` will disappear temporarily, but will come back once thread 1 finishes running.
I _hope_ that steps 1-3 only happen very rarely, and 4a even more rarely. It's hard to know
This once again begs the question of why we're using LevelDB (#483), when it clearly doesn't care about atomicity! A ham-fisted fix would be to wrap the hot and cold DBs in locks, which would bring us closer to how other DBs handle read-write transactions. E.g. [LMDB only allows one R/W transaction at a time](https://docs.rs/lmdb/0.8.0/lmdb/struct.Environment.html#method.begin_rw_txn).
### Race 2: Temporary state returned from `get_state`
I don't think this race really matters, but in `load_hot_state`, if another thread stores a state between when we call `load_state_temporary_flag` and when we call `load_hot_state_summary`, then we could end up returning that state even though it's only a temporary state. I can't think of any case where this would be relevant, and I suspect if it did come up, it would be safe/recoverable (having data is safer than _not_ having data).
This could be fixed by using a LevelDB read snapshot, but that would require substantial changes to how we read all our values, so I don't think it's worth it right now.
## Issue Addressed
Potentially resolves#1647 and sync stalls.
## Proposed Changes
The handling of the state of banned peers was inadequate for the complex peerdb data structure. We store a limited number of disconnected and banned peers in the db. We were not tracking intermediate "disconnecting" states and the in some circumstances we were updating the peer state without informing the peerdb. This lead to a number of inconsistencies in the peer state.
Further, the peer manager could ban a peer changing a peer's state from being connected to banned. In this circumstance, if the peer then disconnected, we didn't inform the application layer, which lead to applications like sync not being informed of a peers disconnection. This could lead to sync stalling and having to require a lighthouse restart.
Improved handling for peer states and interactions with the peerdb is made in this PR.
## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
Adds a `lighthouse/beacon/states/:state_id/ssz` endpoint to allow us to pull the genesis state from the API.
## Additional Info
NA
## Issue Addressed
Closes#1769Closes#1708
## Proposed Changes
Tweaks the op pool pruning so that the attestation pool is pruned against the wall-clock epoch instead of the finalized state's epoch. This should reduce the unbounded growth that we've seen during periods without finality.
Also fixes up the voluntary exit pruning as raised in #1708.
## Issue Addressed
- Resolves#1766
## Proposed Changes
- Use the `warp::filters::cors` filter instead of our work-around.
## Additional Info
It's not trivial to enable/disable `cors` using `warp`, since using `routes.with(cors)` changes the type of `routes`. This makes it difficult to apply/not apply cors at runtime. My solution has been to *always* use the `warp::filters::cors` wrapper but when cors should be disabled, just pass the HTTP server listen address as the only permissible origin.

## 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.
## Issue Addressed

## Proposed Changes
Adds a direction field to `PeerConnectionStatus` that can be accessed by calling `is_outgoing` which will return `true` iff the peer is connected and the first connection was an outgoing one.

More testing is needed for attestation service fixes.
## Proposed Changes
Adds a gossipsub topic filter that only allows subscribing and incoming subscriptions from valid ETH2 topics.
## Additional Info
Currently the preparation of the valid topic hashes uses only the current fork id but in the future it must also use all possible future fork ids for planned forks. This has to get added when hard coded forks get implemented.

- Verify that the given checkpoint exists in the chain, or that the the chain syncs through this checkpoint. If not, shutdown and prompt the user to purge state before restarting.

Store a schema version in the database so that future releases can check they're running against a compatible database version. This would also enable automatic migration on breaking database changes, but that's left as future work.
The database config is also stored in the database so that the `slots_per_restore_point` value can be checked for consistency, which closes#673

- 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).

## Issue Addressed
- Resolves#1313
## Proposed Changes
Changes the way we start the validator client and beacon node to ensure that we cleanly drop the validator keystores (which therefore ensures we cleanup their lockfiles).
Previously we were holding the validator keystores in a tokio task that was being forcefully killed (i.e., without `Drop`). Now, we hold them in a task that can gracefully handle a shutdown.
Also, switches the `--strict-lockfiles` flag to `--delete-lockfiles`. This means two things:
1. We are now strict on lockfiles by default (before we weren't).
1. There's a simple way for people delete the lockfiles if they experience a crash.
## Additional Info
I've only given the option to ignore *and* delete lockfiles, not just ignore them. I can't see a strong need for ignore-only but could easily add it, if the need arises.
I've flagged this as `api-breaking` since users that have lockfiles lingering around will be required to supply `--delete-lockfiles` next time they run.
## Issue Addressed
Closes#1680
## Proposed Changes
This PR fixes a race condition in beacon node start-up whereby the pubkey cache could be created by the beacon chain builder before the `PersistedBeaconChain` was stored to disk. When the node restarted, it would find the persisted chain missing, and attempt to start from scratch, creating a new pubkey cache in the process. This call to `ValidatorPubkeyCache::new` would fail if the file already existed (which it did). I changed the behaviour so that pubkey cache initialization now doesn't care whether there's a file already in existence (it's only a cache after all). Instead it will truncate and recreate the file in the race scenario described.
## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
There are four new conditions introduced in v0.12.3:
1. _[REJECT]_ The attestation's epoch matches its target -- i.e. `attestation.data.target.epoch ==
compute_epoch_at_slot(attestation.data.slot)`
1. _[REJECT]_ The attestation's target block is an ancestor of the block named in the LMD vote -- i.e.
`get_ancestor(store, attestation.data.beacon_block_root, compute_start_slot_at_epoch(attestation.data.target.epoch)) == attestation.data.target.root`
1. _[REJECT]_ The committee index is within the expected range -- i.e. `data.index < get_committee_count_per_slot(state, data.target.epoch)`.
1. _[REJECT]_ The number of aggregation bits matches the committee size -- i.e.
`len(attestation.aggregation_bits) == len(get_beacon_committee(state, data.slot, data.index))`.
This PR implements new logic to suit (1) and (2). Tests are added for (3) and (4), although they were already implicitly enforced.
## Additional Info
- There's a bit of edge-case with target root verification that I raised here: https://github.com/ethereum/eth2.0-specs/pull/2001#issuecomment-699246659

## Issue Addressed
#629
## Proposed Changes
This removes banned peers from the DHT and informs discovery to block the node_id and the known source IP's associated with this node. It has the capabilities of un banning this peer after a period of time.
This also corrects the logic about banning specific IP addresses. We now use seen_ip addresses from libp2p rather than those sent to us via identify (which also include local addresses).
## Issue Addressed
In principle.. closes#1551 but in general are improvements for performance, maintainability and readability. The logic for the optimistic sync in actually simple
## Proposed Changes
There are miscellaneous things here:
- Remove unnecessary `BatchProcessResult::Partial` to simplify the batch validation logic
- Make batches a state machine. This is done to ensure batch state transitions respect our logic (this was previously done by moving batches between `Vec`s) and to ease the cognitive load of the `SyncingChain` struct
- Move most batch-related logic to the batch
- Remove `PendingBatches` in favor of a map of peers to their batches. This is to avoid duplicating peers inside the chain (peer_pool and pending_batches)
- Add `must_use` decoration to the `ProcessingResult` so that chains that request to be removed are handled accordingly. This also means that chains are now removed in more places than before to account for unhandled cases
- Store batches in a sorted map (`BTreeMap`) access is not O(1) but since the number of _active_ batches is bounded this should be fast, and saves performing hashing ops. Batches are indexed by the epoch they start. Sorted, to easily handle chain advancements (range logic)
- Produce the chain Id from the identifying fields: target root and target slot. This, to guarantee there can't be duplicated chains and be able to consistently search chains by either Id or checkpoint
- Fix chain_id not being present in all chain loggers
- Handle mega-edge case where the processor's work queue is full and the batch can't be sent. In this case the chain would lose the blocks, remain in a "syncing" state and waiting for a result that won't arrive, effectively stalling sync.
- When a batch imports blocks or the chain starts syncing with a local finalized epoch greater that the chain's start epoch, the chain is advanced instead of reset. This is to avoid losing download progress and validate batches faster. This also means that the old `start_epoch` now means "current first unvalidated batch", so it represents more accurately the progress of the chain.
- Batch status peers from the same chain to reduce Arc access.
- Handle a couple of cases where the retry counters for a batch were not updated/checked are now handled via the batch state machine. Basically now if we forget to do it, we will know.
- Do not send back the blocks from the processor to the batch. Instead register the attempt before sending the blocks (does not count as failed)
- When re-requesting a batch, try to avoid not only the last failed peer, but all previous failed peers.
- Optimize requesting batches ahead in the buffer by shuffling idle peers just once (this is just addressing a couple of old TODOs in the code)
- In chain_collection, store chains by their id in a map
- Include a mapping from request_ids to (chain, batch) that requested the batch to avoid the double O(n) search on block responses
- Other stuff:
- impl `slog::KV` for batches
- impl `slog::KV` for syncing chains
- PSA: when logging, we can use `%thing` if `thing` implements `Display`. Same for `?` and `Debug`
### Optimistic syncing:
Try first the batch that contains the current head, if the batch imports any block, advance the chain. If not, if this optimistic batch is inside the current processing window leave it there for future use, if not drop it. The tolerance for this block is the same for downloading, but just once for processing

## Issue Addressed

## Proposed Changes
- Call `update_pubkey_cache` only in the `build_all_caches` method and `get_validator_index` method.
## Additional Info
This does reduce the number of places the cache is updated, making it simpler. But the `get_validator_index` method is used a couple times when we are iterating through the entire validator registry (or set of active validators). Before, we would only call `update_pubkey_cache` once before iterating through all validators. So I'm not _totally_ sure this change is worth it.
## Issue Addressed
- Resolves#1616
## Proposed Changes
If we look at the function which persists fork choice and the canonical head to disk:
1db8daae0c/beacon_node/beacon_chain/src/beacon_chain.rs (L234-L280)
There is a race-condition which might cause the canonical head and fork choice values to be out-of-sync.
I believe this is the cause of #1616. I managed to recreate the issue and produce a database that was unable to sync under the `master` branch but able to sync with this branch.
These new changes solve the issue by ignoring the persisted `canonical_head_block_root` value and instead getting fork choice to generate it. This ensures that the canonical head is in-sync with fork choice.
## Additional Info
This is hotfix method that leaves some crusty code hanging around. Once this PR is merged (to satisfy the v0.2.x users) we should later update and merge #1638 so we can have a clean fix for the v0.3.x versions.

## Issue Addressed
- Resolves#1616
## Proposed Changes
Fixes a bug where we are unable to read the finalized block from fork choice.
## Detail
I had made an assumption that the finalized block always has a parent root of `None`:
e5fc6bab48/consensus/fork_choice/src/fork_choice.rs (L749-L752)
This was a faulty assumption, we don't set parent *roots* to `None`. Instead we *sometimes* set parent *indices* to `None`, depending if this pruning condition is satisfied:
e5fc6bab48/consensus/proto_array/src/proto_array.rs (L229-L232)
The bug manifested itself like this:
1. We attempt to get the finalized block from fork choice
1. We try to check that the block is descendant of the finalized block (note: they're the same block).
1. We expect the parent root to be `None`, but it's actually the parent root of the finalized root.
1. We therefore end up checking if the parent of the finalized root is a descendant of itself. (note: it's an *ancestor* not a *descendant*).
1. We therefore declare that the finalized block is not a descendant of (or eq to) the finalized block. Bad.
## Additional Info
In reflection, I made a poor assumption in the quest to obtain a probably negligible performance gain. The performance gain wasn't worth the risk and we got burnt.

## Issue Addressed
Partly addresses #1547
## Proposed Changes
This fix addresses the missing attestations at slot 0 of an epoch (also sometimes slot 1 when slot 0 was skipped).
There are 2 cases:
1. BN receives the block for the attestation slot after 4 seconds (1/3rd of the slot).
2. No block is proposed for this slot.
In both cases, when we produce the attestation, we pass the head state to the
`produce_unaggregated_attestation_for_block` function here
9833eca024/beacon_node/beacon_chain/src/beacon_chain.rs (L845-L850)
Since we don't advance the state in this function, we set `attestation.data.source = state.current_justified_checkpoint` which is atleast 2 epochs lower than current_epoch(wall clock epoch).
This attestation is invalid and cannot be included in a block because of this assert from the spec:
```python
if data.target.epoch == get_current_epoch(state):
assert data.source == state.current_justified_checkpoint
state.current_epoch_attestations.append(pending_attestation)
```
https://github.com/ethereum/eth2.0-specs/blob/dev/specs/phase0/beacon-chain.md#attestations
This PR changes the `produce_unaggregated_attestation_for_block` function to ensure that it advances the state before producing the attestation at the new epoch.
Running this on my node, have missed 0 attestations across all 8 of my validators in a 100 epoch period 🎉
To compare, I was missing ~14 attestations across all 8 validators in the same 100 epoch period before the fix.
Will report missed attestations if any after running for another 100 epochs tomorrow.

Co-authored-by: Age Manning <Age@AgeManning.com>
The PR:
* Adds the ability to generate a crucial test scenario that isn't possible with `BeaconChainHarness` (i.e. two blocks occupying the same slot; previously forks necessitated skipping slots):
* New testing API: Instead of repeatedly calling add_block(), you generate a sorted `Vec<Slot>` and leave it up to the framework to generate blocks at those slots.
* Jumping backwards to an earlier epoch is a hard error, so that tests necessarily generate blocks in a epoch-by-epoch manner.
* Configures the test logger so that output is printed on the console in case a test fails. The logger also plays well with `--nocapture`, contrary to the existing testing framework
* Rewrites existing fork pruning tests to use the new API
* Adds a tests that triggers finalization at a non epoch boundary slot
* Renamed `BeaconChainYoke` to `BeaconChainTestingRig` because the former has been too confusing
* Fixed multiple tests (e.g. `block_production_different_shuffling_long`, `delete_blocks_and_states`, `shuffling_compatible_simple_fork`) that relied on a weird (and accidental) feature of the old `BeaconChainHarness` that attestations aren't produced for epochs earlier than the current one, thus masking potential bugs in test cases.

## Issue Addressed
Closes#1488
## Proposed Changes
* Prevent the pruning algorithm from over-eagerly deleting states at skipped slots when they are shared with the canonical chain.
* Add `debug` logging to the pruning algorithm so we have so better chance of debugging future issues from logs.
* Modify the handling of the "finalized state" in the beacon chain, so that it's always the state at the first slot of the finalized epoch (previously it was the state at the finalized block). This gives database pruning a clearer and cleaner view of things, and will marginally impact the pruning of the op pool, observed proposers, etc (in ways that are safe as far as I can tell).
* Remove duplicated `RevertedFinalizedEpoch` check from `after_finalization`
* Delete useless and unused `max_finality_distance`
* Add tests that exercise pruning with shared states at skip slots
* Delete unnecessary `block_strategy` argument from `add_blocks` and friends in the test harness (will likely conflict with #1380 slightly, sorry @adaszko -- but we can fix that)
* Bonus: add a `BeaconChain::with_head` method. I didn't end up needing it, but it turned out quite nice, so I figured we could keep it?

## Additional Info
This PR covers the `rest_api` which will soon be refactored to suit the standard API. As such, I've cut a few corners and left some existing issues open in this patch. What I have done here should leave the API in state that is not necessary *exactly* the same, but good enough for us to run validators with. Specifically, the number of blocking workers that can be spawned is unbounded and I have not implemented a queue; this will need to be fixed when we implement the standard API.
## Issue Addressed

## Proposed Changes
Boot node reuses code from beacon_node to initialize network config. This also enables using the network directory to store/load the enr and the private key.
## Additional Info
Note that before this PR the port cli arguments were off (the argument was named `enr-port` but used as `boot-node-enr-port`).
Therefore as port always the cli port argument was used (for both enr and listening). Now the enr-port argument can be used to overwrite the listening port as the public port others should connect to.
Last but not least note, that this restructuring reuses `ethlibp2p::NetworkConfig` that has many more options than the ones used in the boot node. For example the network config has an own `discv5_config` field that gets never used in the boot node and instead another `Discv5Config` gets created later in the boot node process.

## Description
There can be many head chains queued up to complete. Currently we try and process all of these to completion before we consider the node synced.
In a chaotic network, there can be many of these and processing them to completion can be very expensive and slow. This PR removes any non-syncing head chains from the queue, and re-status's the peers. If, after we have synced to head on one chain, there is still a valid head chain to download, it will be re-established once the status has been returned.
This should assist with getting nodes to sync on medalla faster.
## Overview
There are forked chains which get referenced by blocks and attestations on a network. Typically if these chains are very long, we stop looking up the chain and downvote the peer. In extreme circumstances, many peers are on many chains, the chains can be very deep and become time consuming performing lookups.
This PR adds a cache to known failed chain lookups. This prevents us from starting a parent-lookup (or stopping one half way through) if we have attempted the chain lookup in the past.
## Description
Currently lighthouse load-balances across peers a single finalized chain. The chain is selected via the most peers. Once synced to the latest finalized epoch Lighthouse creates chains amongst its peers and syncs them all in parallel amongst each peer (grouped by their current head block).
This is typically fast and relatively efficient under normal operations. However if the chain has not finalized in a long time, the head chains can grow quite long. Peer's head chains will update every slot as new blocks are added to the head. Syncing all head chains in parallel is a bottleneck and highly inefficient in block duplication leads to RPC timeouts when attempting to handle all new heads chains at once.
This PR limits the parallelism of head syncing chains to 2. We now sync at most two head chains at a time. This allows for the possiblity of sync progressing alongside a peer being slow and holding up one chain via RPC timeouts.
The changes are somewhat simple but should solve two issues:
- When quickly changing between chains once and a second time back again, batchIds would collide and cause havoc.
- If we got an out of range response from a peer, sync would remain in syncing but without advancing
Changes:
- remove the batch id. Identify each batch (inside a chain) by its starting epoch. Target epochs for downloading and processing now advance by EPOCHS_PER_BATCH
- for the same reason, move the "to_be_downloaded_id" to be an epoch
- remove a sneaky line that dropped an out of range batch without downloading it
- bonus: put the chain_id in the log given to the chain. This is why explicitly logging the chain_id is removed
## Proposed Changes
To mitigate the impact of minority forks on RAM and disk usage, this change rejects blocks whose parent lies more than 320 slots (10 epochs, ~1 hour) in the past. The behaviour is configurable via `lighthouse bn --max-skip-slots N`, and can be turned off entirely using `--max-skip-slots none`.

## Discovery v5 update
In this update we remove the openssl dependency in favour of rust-crypto.
The update also removes a series of unnecessary async functions which may improve some of the issues we have been experiencing.
## Issue Addressed
- Resolves#1451
## Proposed Changes
- Restricts the `contains_block` and `contains_block` so they only indicate a block is present if it descends from the finalized root. This helps to ensure that fork choice never points to a block that has been pruned from the database.
- Resolves#1451
- Before importing a block, double-check that its parent is known and a descendant of the finalized root.
- Split a big, monolithic block verification test into smaller tests.
## Additional Notes
I suspect there would be a craftier way to do the `is_descendant_of_finalized` check, but we're a bit tight on time now and we can optimize later if it starts showing in benches.
## TODO
- [x] Tests

## Proposed Changes
Introduces the `GossipProcessor`, a multi-threaded (multi-tasked?), non-blocking processor for some messages from the network which require verification and import into the `BeaconChain`.
Initial testing indicates that this massively improves system stability by (a) moving block tasks from the normal executor (b) spreading out attestation load.
## Additional Info
TBC
These started to appear when I `^C` `curl -N http://localhost:5052/beacon/fork/stream`: `Aug 12 13:00:01.539 ERRO Couldn't stream piece hyper::Error(ChannelClosed), service: http`
Something must have changed in hyper since SSE has been implemented because I'm sure I haven't seen those errors before.
This PR properly detects a closed SSE stream and cleans up.
## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
Adds support for using the [`cross`](https://github.com/rust-embedded/cross) project to produce cross-compiled binaries using Docker images.
Provides quite clean and simple cross-compiles cause all the complexity is hidden in Dockerfiles. It does require you to be in the `docker` group though.
## Details
- Adds shortcut commands to `Makefile`
- Ensures `reqwest` and `discv5` use vendored openssl libs (i.e., static not shared).
- Switches to a [commit](284f705964) of blst that has a renamed C function to avoid a collision with openssl (upstream issue: https://github.com/supranational/blst/issues/21).
- Updates `ring` to the latest satisfiable version, since an earlier version was causing issues with `cross`.
- Off-topic, but adds extra message about Windows support as suggested by Discord user.
## Additional Info
- ~~Blocked on #1495~~
- There are no tests in CI for this yet for a few reasons:
- I'm hesitant to add more long-running tasks.
- Short-term bitrot should be avoided since we'll use it each release.
- In the long term I think it would be good to automate binary creation on a release.
- I observed the binaries increase in size from 50mb to 52mb after these changes.
limit simultaneous outgoing connections attempts to a reasonable top as an extra layer of protection
also shift the keep alive logic of the rpc handler to avoid needing to update it by hand. I think In rare cases this could make shutting down a connection a bit faster.
## Issue Addressed
#1419
## Proposed Changes
Creates a `--graffiti` cli flag in the validator client. If the flag is set, it overrides graffiti in the beacon node.
## Additional Info
## Issue Addressed
#1483
## Proposed Changes
Upgrades the log to a critical if a listener fails. We are able to listen on many interfaces so a single instance is not critical. We should however gracefully shutdown the client if we have no listeners, although the client can still function solely on outgoing connections.
For now a critical is raised and I leave #1494 for more sophisticated handling of this.
This also updates discv5 to handle errors of binding to a UDP socket such that lighthouse is now able to handle them.
## Issue Addressed
Some nodes not following head, high CPU usage and HTTP API delays
## Proposed Changes
Patches gossipsub. Gossipsub was using an `lru_time_cache` to check for duplicates. This contained an `O(N)` lookup for every gossipsub message to update the time cache. This was causing high cpu usage and blocking network threads.
This PR introduces a custom cache without `O(N)` inserts.
This also adds built in safety mechanisms to prevent gossipsub from excessively retrying connections upon failure. A maximum limit is set after which we disconnect from the node from too many failed substream connections.
## Issue Addressed
Peers that connected after the peer limit may remain connected in some circumstances.
This ensures peers not in the peer manager's list get disconnected. Further logging is also added to track this behaviour.
## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
- When producing a block, go and ensure every attestation in the naive aggregation pool is included in the operation pool. This should help us increase the number of useful attestations in a block.
- Lift the `RwLock`s inside `NaiveAggregationPool` up into a single high-level lock. There were race conditions in the existing setup and it was hard to reason about.
## Additional Info
NA
## Issue Addressed
#1028
A bit late, but I think if `BlockError` had a kind (the current `BlockError` minus everything on the variants that comes directly from the block) and the original block, more clones could be removed
## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
- Moves the git-based versioning we were doing into the `lighthouse_version` crate in `common`.
- Removes the `beacon_node/version` crate, replacing it with `lighthouse_version`.
- Bumps the version to `v0.2.0`.
## Additional Info
There are now two types of version string:
1. `const VERSION: &str = Lighthouse/v0.2.0-1419501f2+`
1. `version_with_platform() = Lighthouse/v0.2.0-1419501f2+/x86_64-linux`
(1) is handy cause it's a `const` and shorter. (2) has platform info so it's more useful. Note that the plus-sign (`+`) indicates the the git commit is dirty (it used to be `(modified)` but I had to shorten it to fit into graffiti).
These version strings are now included on:
- `lighthouse --version`
- `lcli --version`
- `curl localhost:5052/node/version`
- p2p messages when we communicate our version
You can update the version by changing this constant (version is not related to a `Cargo.toml`):
b9ad7102d5/common/lighthouse_version/src/lib.rs (L4-L15)
## Issue Addressed
Sync was breaking occasionally. The root cause appears to be identify crashing as events we being sent to the protocol after nodes were banned. Have not been able to reproduce sync issues since this update.
## Proposed Changes
Only send messages to sub-behaviour protocols if the peer manager thinks the peer is connected. All other messages are dropped.
## Issue Addressed
The most recent gossipsub update had an issue where some privacy settings lead to not sending a sequence number with the message. Although Lighthouse treats these as valid (based on current configuration) other clients may not.
This corrects gossipsub to send sequence numbers where expected and based on the configuration settings.
## Issue Addressed
#1056
## Proposed Changes
- Add a rate limiter to the RPC behaviour. This also means the rate limiting occurs just before the door to the application level, so the number of connections a peer opens does not affect this (this would happen in the future if put on the handler)
- The algorithm used is the leaky bucket as a meter / token bucket implemented the GCRA way
- Each protocol has its own limit. Due to the way the algorithm works, the "small" protocols have a hard limit, while bbrange and bbroot allow [burstiness](https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Burstiness). This is so that a peer can't request hundreds of individual requests expecting only one block in a short period of time, it also allows a peer to send two half size requests instead of one with max if they want to without getting limited, and.. it also allows a peer to request a batch of the maximum size and then send _appropriately spaced_ requests of really small sizes. From what I've seen in sync this is plausible when reaching the target slot.
## Additional Info
Needs to be heavily tested

## Proposed Changes
Allows for multiple "hardcoded" testnets.

## Issue Addressed
Recurring sync loop and invalid batch downloading
## Proposed Changes
Shifts the batches to include the first slot of each epoch. This ensures the finalized is always downloaded once a chain has completed syncing.
Also add in logic to prevent re-dialing disconnected peers. Non-performant peers get disconnected during sync, this prevents re-connection to these during sync.

## Proposed Changes
This provides a number of corrections and improvements to gossipsub. Specifically
- Enables options for greater privacy around the message author
- Provides greater flexibility on message validation
- Prevents unvalidated messages from being gossiped
- Shifts the duplicate cache to a time-based cache inside gossipsub
- Updates the message-id to handle bytes
- Bug fixes related to mesh maintenance and topic subscription. This should improve our attestation inclusion rate.
## Issue Addressed
#1388 partially (eth2_libp2p & network)
## Proposed Changes
TLDR at the end
- *Complex types* are 3 on the handlers/Behaviours but the types are `Poll<ComplexType>` where `ComplexType` comes from the traits of libp2p. Those, I don't thing are worth an alias. A couple more were from using tokio combinators and were removed writing things the async way and using [`BoxFuture`](https://docs.rs/futures/0.3.5/futures/future/type.BoxFuture.html)
- The *cognitive complexity*.. I tried to address those before (they come from the poll functions too) and tbh they are cognitively simpler to understand the way they are now. Moving separate parts to functions doesn't add much since that code is not repeated and they all do early returns. If moved those returns would now need to be wrapped in an Option, probably, and checked to be returned again. I would leave them like that but that's just preference.
- *Too many arguments*: They are not easily put together in a wrapping struct since the parameters don't relate semantically (Ex: fn new with a log, a reference to the chain, a peer, etc) but some may differ.
- *Needless returns* were indeed needless
## Additional Info
TLDR: removed needless return, used BoxFuture and async, left the rest untouched since those lgtm
## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
Adds a `valid_deposits` field to the logs whilst waiting for genesis:
```
Jul 25 11:02:25.631 INFO Waiting for more deposits valid_deposits: 3085, total_deposits: 3188, min_genesis_active_validators: 16384, service: beacon
```
In this example we can see there are `3188` deposits, but only `3085` have valid signatures.

## Proposed Changes
- Refactor the `bls` crate to support multiple BLS "backends" (e.g., milagro, blst, etc).
- Removes some duplicate, unused code in `common/rest_types/src/validator.rs`.
- Removes the old "upgrade legacy keypairs" functionality (these were unencrypted keys that haven't been supported for a few testnets, no one should be using them anymore).
## Additional Info
Most of the files changed are just inconsequential changes to function names.
## TODO
- [x] Optimization levels
- [x] Infinity point: https://github.com/supranational/blst/issues/11
- [x] Ensure milagro *and* blst are tested via CI
- [x] What to do with unsafe code?
- [x] Test infinity point in signature sets
## Issue Addressed
#1112
The logic is slightly different but still valid wrt to error handling.
- Inbound state is either Busy with a future that return the subtream (and info about the processing)
- The state machine works as follows:
- `Idle` with pending responses => `Busy`
- `Busy` => finished ? if so and there are new pending responses then `Busy`, if not then `Idle`
=> not finished remains `Busy`
- Add an `InboundInfo` for readability
- Other stuff:
- Close inbound substreams when all expected responses are sent
- Remove the error variants from `RPCCodedResponse` and use the codes instead
- Fix various spelling mistakes because I got sloppy last time
Sorry for the delay

## Proposed Changes
When parsing deposit logs, we were returning an error in case `PublicKeyBytes` or `SignatureBytes` didn't convert to valid bls `PublicKey` or `Signature` types. This would stall our import of deposit logs.
Fixes this by returning `signature_is_valid` as `false` in `DepositLog` if the bytes are invalid `PublicKey/Signature` types.
Tested this fix on the Onyx deposit contract where the bug was observed and it works correctly as expected.
## Issue Addressed
This PR makes the `Eth1Chain::use_dummy_backend` field private. I believe this could be good to ensure the consistency of a Eth1Chain instance. 💡
## Issue Addressed
https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/1177
## Proposed Changes
Add a command line option (`--http-allow-origin`) and a config item for configuring the `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` response header. This should unblock making XMLHttpRequests.
Downgrades libp2p and the gossipsub updates.
This looks to resolve the CPU usage issue we have been seeing.
The root cause is likely inside the latest gossipsub updates, which will be addressed in a later PR
## Issue Addressed
Closes#1319
## Proposed Changes
This issue:
1. Allows users to edit their Graffiti via the cli option `--graffiti`. If the graffiti is too long, lighthouse will not start and throw an error message. Otherwise, it will set the Graffiti to be the one provided by the user, right-padded with 0s.
2. Create a new `Graffiti` type and unify the code around it. With this type, everything is enforced at compile-time, and the code can be (I think...) panic-free! :)
## Additional info
Currently, only `&str` are supported, as this is the returned type by `.arg("graffiti")`.
Since this is user-input, I tried being as careful as I could. This is also why I created the `Graffiti` type, to make sure I could check as much as possible at compile time.
