The PR makes use of the stacktrie, which is is more lenient on resource consumption, than the regular trie, in cases where we only need it for DeriveSha
This PR implements the following modifications
- Don't shortcut check if block is present, thus avoid disk lookup
- Don't check hash ancestry in early-check (it's still done in parallel checker)
- Don't check time.Now for every single header
Charts and background info can be found here: https://github.com/holiman/headerimport/blob/main/README.md
With these changes, writing 1M headers goes down to from 80s to 62s.
This PR adds re-written difficulty calculators, which are based on uint256. It also adds a fuzzer + oss-fuzz integration for the new fuzzer. It does differential fuzzing between the new and old calculators.
Note: this PR does not actually enable the new calculators.
* consensus/ethash: only use *reflect.SliceHeader, not reflect.SliceHeader. See comment here: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/40397\#issuecomment-663748689
* consensus/ethash: pr feedback from @mdempsky, makes a copy of dest such that is not mutated
* consensus/ethash: remove noop assign
* consensus/ethash: apply same fix to another location

The original idea behind this change was to remove a use of the
deprecated CancelRequest method. Simply removing it would've been an
option, but I couldn't resist and did a bit of a refactoring instead.
All remote sealing code was contained in a single giant function. Remote
sealing is now extracted into its own object, remoteSealer.
* travis: Enable ARM support
* Include fixes from 20039
* Add a trace to debug the invalid lookup issue
* Try increasing the timeout to see if the arm test passes
* Investigate the resolver issue
* Increase arm64 timeout for clique test
* increase timeout in tests for arm64
* Only test the failing tests
* Review feedback: don't export epsilon
* Remove investigation tricks+include fjl's feeback
* Revert the retry ahead of using the mock resolver
* Fix rebase errors
* miner: commit state which is relative with sealing result
* consensus, core, miner, mobile: introduce sealHash interface
* miner: evict pending task with threshold
* miner: go fmt
* consensus/ethash: start remote ggoroutine to handle remote mining
* consensus/ethash: expose remote miner api
* consensus/ethash: expose submitHashrate api
* miner, ethash: push empty block to sealer without waiting execution
* consensus, internal: add getHashrate API for ethash
* consensus: add three method for consensus interface
* miner: expose consensus engine running status to miner
* eth, miner: specify etherbase when miner created
* miner: commit new work when consensus engine is started
* consensus, miner: fix some logics
* all: delete useless interfaces
* consensus: polish a bit
* consensus/ethash: add maxEpoch constant
* consensus/ethash: improve cache/dataset handling
There are two fixes in this commit:
Unmap the memory through a finalizer like the libethash wrapper did. The
release logic was incorrect and freed the memory while it was being
used, leading to crashes like in #14495 or #14943.
Track caches and datasets using simplelru instead of reinventing LRU
logic. This should make it easier to see whether it's correct.
* consensus/ethash: restore 'future item' logic in lru
* consensus/ethash: use mmap even in test mode
This makes it possible to shorten the time taken for TestCacheFileEvict.
* consensus/ethash: shuffle func calc*Size comments around
* consensus/ethash: ensure future cache/dataset is in the lru cache
* consensus/ethash: add issue link to the new test
* consensus/ethash: fix vet
* consensus/ethash: fix test
* consensus: tiny issue + nitpick fixes
