Generator in the current lib uses -2 as the y point when doing
ScalarBaseMult, this makes it so that points/signatures generated
from libs like py_ecc don't match/validate as pretty much all
other libs (including libsnark) have (1, 2) as the standard
generator.
This does not affect consensus as the generator is never used in
the VM, points are always explicitly defined and there is not
ScalarBaseMult op - it only makes it so that doing "import
github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/crypto/bn256" doesn't generate
bad points in userland tools.
Updated use of Parallel and added some subtests to help isolate
them. Increased timeout in RequestHeadersByNumber so it
doesn't time out and causes other tests to break.
p2p/simulations: introduce dialBan
- Refactor simulations/network connection getters to support
avoiding simultaneous dials between two peers If two peers dial
simultaneously, the connection will be dropped to help avoid
that, we essentially lock the connection object with a
timestamp which serves as a ban on dialing for a period of time
(dialBanTimeout).
- The connection getter InitConn can be wrapped and passed to the
nodes via adapters.NodeConfig#Reachable field and then used by
the respective services when they initiate connections. This
massively stablise the emerging connectivity when running with
hundreds of nodes bootstrapping a network.
p2p: add Inbound public method to p2p.Peer
p2p/simulations: Add server id to logs to support debugging
in-memory network simulations when multiple peers are logging.
p2p: SetupConn now returns error. The dialer checks the error and
only calls resolve if the actual TCP dial fails.
* core/vm: track 63/64 call gas off stack
Gas calculations in gasCall* relayed the available gas for calls by
replacing it on the stack. This lead to inconsistent traces, which we
papered over by copying the pre-execution stack in trace mode.
This change relays available gas using a temporary variable, off the
stack, and allows removing the weird copy.
* core/vm: remove stackCopy
* core/vm: pop call gas into pool
* core/vm: to -> addr
* trie: make fullnode children hash calculation concurrently
* trie: thread out only on topmost fullnode
* trie: clean up full node children hash calculation
* trie: minor code fixups
* cmd, consensus, eth: split ethash related config to it own
* eth, consensus: minor polish
* eth, consenus, console: compress pow testing config field to single one
* consensus, eth: document pow mode
