This PR fixes multiple issues with the UDP connection pre-negotiation feature:
- the enable condition was wrong (it checked the existence of the DiscV5 struct where it wasn't initialized yet, disabling the feature even if discv5 was enabled)
- the server pool queried already connected nodes when the discovery iterators returned them again
- servers responded positively before they were synced and really willing to accept connections
Metrics are also added on the server side that count the positive and negative replies to served connection queries.
The oss-fuzz fuzzer has been reporting some failing testcases for les. They're all spurious, and cannot reliably be reproduced. However, running them showed that there was a goroutine leak: the tests created a lot of new clients, which started an exec queue that was never torn down.
This PR fixes the goroutine leak, and also a log message which was erroneously formatted.
This PR implements the first one of the "lespay" UDP queries which
is already useful in itself: the capacity query. The server pool is making
use of this query by doing a cheap UDP query to determine whether it is
worth starting the more expensive TCP connection process.
* les: move serverPool to les/vflux/client
* les: add metrics
* les: moved ValueTracker inside ServerPool
* les: protect against node registration before server pool is started
* les/vflux/client: fixed tests
* les: make peer registration safe
This adds support for EIP-2718 typed transactions as well as EIP-2930
access list transactions (tx type 1). These EIPs are scheduled for the
Berlin fork.
There very few changes to existing APIs in core/types, and several new APIs
to deal with access list transactions. In particular, there are two new
constructor functions for transactions: types.NewTx and types.SignNewTx.
Since the canonical encoding of typed transactions is not RLP-compatible,
Transaction now has new methods for encoding and decoding: MarshalBinary
and UnmarshalBinary.
The existing EIP-155 signer does not support the new transaction types.
All code dealing with transaction signatures should be updated to use the
newer EIP-2930 signer. To make this easier for future updates, we have
added new constructor functions for types.Signer: types.LatestSigner and
types.LatestSignerForChainID.
This change also adds support for the YoloV3 testnet.

Transaction unindexing will be enabled by default as of 1.10, which causes tx status retrieval will be broken without this PR.
This PR introduces a retry mechanism in TxStatus retrieval.
This PR adds a more CLI flag, so that the les-server can serve light clients even the local node is not synced yet.
This functionality is needed in some testing environments(e.g. hive). After launching the les server, no more blocks will be imported so the node is always marked as "non-synced".
This PR prevents users from submitting transactions without EIP-155 enabled. This behaviour can be overridden by specifying the flag --rpc.allow-unprotected-txs=true.

This moves the eth config definition into a separate package, eth/ethconfig.
Packages eth and les can now import this common package instead of
importing eth from les, reducing dependencies.

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 enables running the new discv5 protocol in both LES client
and server mode. In client mode it mixes discv5 and dnsdisc iterators
(if both are enabled) and filters incoming ENRs for "les" tag and fork ID.
The old p2p/discv5 package and all references to it are removed.

This moves the tracing RPC API implementation to package eth/tracers.
By doing so, package eth no longer depends on tracing and the duktape JS engine.
The change also enables tracing using the light client. All tracing methods work with the
light client, but it's a lot slower compared to using a full node.
This PR introduces a new config field SyncFromCheckpoint for light client.
In some special scenarios, it's required to start synchronization from some
arbitrary checkpoint or even from the scratch. So this PR offers this
flexibility to users so that the synchronization start point can be configured.
There are two relevant configs: SyncFromCheckpoint and Checkpoint.
- If the SyncFromCheckpoint is true, the light client will try to sync from the
specified checkpoint.
- If the Checkpoint is not configured, then the light client will sync from the
scratch(from the latest header if the database is not empty)
Additional notes: these two configs are not visible in the CLI flags but only
accessable in the config file.
Example Usage:
[Eth]
SyncFromCheckpoint = true
[Eth.Checkpoint]
SectionIndex = 100
SectionHead = "0xabc"
CHTRoot = "0xabc"
BloomRoot = "0xabc"
PS. Historical checkpoint can be retrieved from the synced full node or light
client via les_getCheckpoint API.
This PR has two changes in the les protocol:
- the auxRoot is not supported. See ethereum/devp2p#171 for more information
- the empty response will be returned in GetHelperTrieProofsMsg request if the merkle
proving is failed. note, for backward compatibility, the empty merkle proof as well as
the request auxiliary data will still be returned in les2/3 protocol no matter the proving
is successful or not. the proving failure can happen e.g. request the proving for a
non-included entry in helper trie (unstable header).
During the snap and eth refactor, the net_version rpc call was falsely deprecated.
This restores the net_version RPC handler as most eth2 nodes and other software
depend on it.
* les: allow tx unindexing in les/4 light server mode
* les: minor fixes
* les: more small fixes
* les: add meaningful constants for recentTxIndex handshake field
This commit splits the eth package, separating the handling of eth and snap protocols. It also includes the capability to run snap sync (https://github.com/ethereum/devp2p/blob/master/caps/snap.md) , but does not enable it by default.

This PR implements unclean shutdown marker. Every time geth boots, it adds a timestamp to a list of timestamps in the database. This list is capped at 10. At a clean shutdown, the timestamp is removed again.
Thus, when geth exits unclean, the marker remains, and at boot up we show the most recent unclean shutdowns to the user, which makes it easier to diagnose root-causes to certain problems.

The previous fix#21960 converted the float to an intermediate signed int, before attempting the uint conversion. Although this works, this doesn't guarantee that other architectures will work the same.
This commit enables users to specify which signer they want to use while creating their transactOpts.
Previously all contract interactions used the homestead signer. Now a user can specify whether they
want to sign with homestead or EIP155 and specify the chainID which adds another layer of security.
Closes#16484
* all: core: split vm.Config into BlockConfig and TxConfig
* core: core/vm: reset EVM between tx in block instead of creating new
* core/vm: added docs
This adds a few tiny fixes for les and the p2p simulation framework:
LES Parts
- Keep the LES-SERVER connection even it's non-synced
We had this idea to reject the connections in LES protocol if the les-server itself is
not synced. However, in LES protocol we will also receive the connection from another
les-server. In this case even the local node is not synced yet, we should keep the tcp
connection for other protocols(e.g. eth protocol).
- Don't count "invalid message" for non-existing GetBlockHeadersMsg request
In the eth syncing mechanism (full sync, fast sync, light sync), it will try to fetch
some non-existent blocks or headers(to ensure we indeed download all the missing chain).
In this case, it's possible that the les-server will receive the request for
non-existent headers. So don't count it as the "invalid message" for scheduling
dropping.
- Copy the announce object in the closure
Before the les-server pushes the latest headers to all connected clients, it will create
a closure and queue it in the underlying request scheduler. In some scenarios it's
problematic. E.g, in private networks, the block can be mined very fast. So before the
first closure is executed, we may already update the latest_announce object. So actually
the "announce" object we want to send is replaced.
The downsize is the client will receive two announces with the same td and then drop the
server.
P2P Simulation Framework
- Don't double register the protocol services in p2p-simulation "Start".
The protocols upon the devp2p are registered in the "New node stage". So don't reigster
them again when starting a node in the p2p simulation framework
- Add one more new config field "ExternalSigner", in order to use clef service in the
framework.
This PR adds an extra guarantee to NodeStateMachine: it ensures that all
immediate effects of a certain change are processed before any subsequent
effects of any of the immediate effects on the same node. In the original
version, if a cascaded change caused a subscription callback to be called
multiple times for the same node then these calls might have happened in a
wrong chronological order.
For example:
- a subscription to flag0 changes flag1 and flag2
- a subscription to flag1 changes flag3
- a subscription to flag1, flag2 and flag3 was called in the following order:
[flag1] -> [flag1, flag3]
[] -> [flag1]
[flag1, flag3] -> [flag1, flag2, flag3]
This happened because the tree of changes was traversed in a "depth-first
order". Now it is traversed in a "breadth-first order"; each node has a
FIFO queue for pending callbacks and each triggered subscription callback
is added to the end of the list. The already existing guarantees are
retained; no SetState or SetField returns until the callback queue of the
node is empty again. Just like before, it is the responsibility of the
state machine design to ensure that infinite state loops are not possible.
Multiple changes affecting the same node can still happen simultaneously;
in this case the changes can be interleaved in the FIFO of the node but the
correct order is still guaranteed.
A new unit test is also added to verify callback order in the above scenario.
This PR significantly changes the APIs for instantiating Ethereum nodes in
a Go program. The new APIs are not backwards-compatible, but we feel that
this is made up for by the much simpler way of registering services on
node.Node. You can find more information and rationale in the design
document: https://gist.github.com/renaynay/5bec2de19fde66f4d04c535fd24f0775.
There is also a new feature in Node's Go API: it is now possible to
register arbitrary handlers on the user-facing HTTP server. In geth, this
facility is used to enable GraphQL.
There is a single minor change relevant for geth users in this PR: The
GraphQL API is no longer available separately from the JSON-RPC HTTP
server. If you want GraphQL, you need to enable it using the
./geth --http --graphql flag combination.
The --graphql.port and --graphql.addr flags are no longer available.
This change introduces garbage collection for the light client. Historical
chain data is deleted periodically. If you want to disable the GC, use
the --light.nopruning flag.
This PR reimplements the light client server pool. It is also a first step
to move certain logic into a new lespay package. This package will contain
the implementation of the lespay token sale functions, the token buying and
selling logic and other components related to peer selection/prioritization
and service quality evaluation. Over the long term this package will be
reusable for incentivizing future protocols.
Since the LES peer logic is now based on enode.Iterator, it can now use
DNS-based fallback discovery to find servers.
This document describes the function of the new components:

* trie: fix lint
* trie: fix minor issue

* all: seperate consensus error and evm internal error
There are actually two types of error will be returned when
a tranaction/message call is executed: (a) consensus error
(b) evm internal error. The former should be converted to
a consensus issue, e.g. The sender doesn't enough asset to
purchase the gas it specifies. The latter is allowed since
evm itself is a blackbox and internal error is allowed to happen.
This PR emphasizes the difference by introducing a executionResult
structure. The evm error is embedded inside. So if any error
returned, it indicates consensus issue happens.
And also this PR improve the `EstimateGas` API to return the concrete
revert reason if the transaction always fails

* les: move execqueue into utilities package
execqueue is a util for executing queued functions
in a serial order which is used by both les server
and les client. Move it to common package.
* les: move randselect to utilities package
weighted_random_selector is a helpful tool for randomly select
items maintained in a set but based on the item weight.
It's used anywhere is LES package, mainly by les client but will
be used in les server with very high chance. So move it into a
common package as the second step for les separation.
* les: rename to utils
Prior to this change, eth_call changed the balance of the sender account in the
EVM environment to 2^256 wei to cover the gas cost of the call execution.
We've had this behavior for a long time even though it's super confusing.
This commit sets the default call gasprice to zero instead of updating the balance,
which is better because it makes eth_call semantics less surprising. Removing
the built-in balance assignment also makes balance overrides work as expected.
* les: move the checkpoint oracle into its own package
It's first step of refactor LES package. LES package
basically can be divided into LES client and LES server.
However both sides will use checkpoint package for
status retrieval and verification. So this PR moves
checkpoint oracle into a separate package

This change adds tests for the virtual clock and aligns the interface
with the time package by renaming Cancel to Stop. It also removes the
binary search from Stop because it complicates the code unnecessarily.
Most of these changes are related to the Go 1.13 changes to test binary
flag handling.
* cmd/geth: make attach tests more reliable
This makes the test wait for the endpoint to come up by polling
it instead of waiting for two seconds.
* tests: fix test binary flags for Go 1.13

This PR adds some hardening in the lower levels of the protocol stack, to bail early on invalid data. Primarily, attacks that this PR protects against are on the "annoyance"-level, which would otherwise write a couple of megabytes of data into the log output, which is a bit resource intensive.
* les: reject client connection if it makes too much invalid req
* les: address comments
* les: use uint32
* les: fix variable name
* les: add invalid counter for duplicate invalid req
* p2p/enr: add entries for for IPv4/IPv6 separation
This adds entry types for "ip6", "udp6", "tcp6" keys. The IP type stays
around because removing it would break a lot of code and force everyone
to care about the distinction.
* p2p/enode: track IPv4 and IPv6 address separately
LocalNode predicts the local node's UDP endpoint and updates the record.
This change makes it predict IPv4 and IPv6 endpoints separately since
they can now be in the record at the same time.
* p2p/enode: implement base64 text format
* all: switch to enode.Parse(...)
This allows passing base64-encoded node records to all the places that
previously accepted enode:// URLs. The URL format is still supported.

This change makes getBalance, getCode, getStorageAt, getProof,
call, getTransactionCount return an error if the block number in
the request doesn't exist. getHeaderByNumber still returns null
for missing headers.
* cmd, eth, miner: disable advance sealing if user require
* cmd, console, miner, les, eth: wrap the miner config

The reason for this is: if the transaction execution is even longer
than block time, then this kind of transactions is DoS attack.
This change
- implements concurrent LES request serving even for a single peer.
- replaces the request cost estimation method with a cost table based on
benchmarks which gives much more consistent results. Until now the
allowed number of light peers was just a guess which probably contributed
a lot to the fluctuating quality of available service. Everything related
to request cost is implemented in a single object, the 'cost tracker'. It
uses a fixed cost table with a global 'correction factor'. Benchmark code
is included and can be run at any time to adapt costs to low-level
implementation changes.
- reimplements flowcontrol.ClientManager in a cleaner and more efficient
way, with added capabilities: There is now control over bandwidth, which
allows using the flow control parameters for client prioritization.
Target utilization over 100 percent is now supported to model concurrent
request processing. Total serving bandwidth is reduced during block
processing to prevent database contention.
- implements an RPC API for the LES servers allowing server operators to
assign priority bandwidth to certain clients and change prioritized
status even while the client is connected. The new API is meant for
cases where server operators charge for LES using an off-protocol mechanism.
- adds a unit test for the new client manager.
- adds an end-to-end test using the network simulator that tests bandwidth
control functions through the new API.
* geth/core/eth: implement constantinople override flag

Until this commit, when sending an RPC request that called `NewEVM`, a blank `vm.Config`
would be taken so as to set some options, based on the default configuration. If some extra
configuration switches were passed to the blockchain, those would be ignored.
This PR adds a function to get the config from the blockchain, and this is what is now used
for RPC calls.
Some subsequent changes need to be made, see https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/17955#pullrequestreview-182237244
for the details of the discussion.
Package p2p/enode provides a generalized representation of p2p nodes
which can contain arbitrary information in key/value pairs. It is also
the new home for the node database. The "v4" identity scheme is also
moved here from p2p/enr to remove the dependency on Ethereum crypto from
that package.
Record signature handling is changed significantly. The identity scheme
registry is removed and acceptable schemes must be passed to any method
that needs identity. This means records must now be validated explicitly
after decoding.
The enode API is designed to make signature handling easy and safe: most
APIs around the codebase work with enode.Node, which is a wrapper around
a valid record. Going from enr.Record to enode.Node requires a valid
signature.
* p2p/discover: port to p2p/enode
This ports the discovery code to the new node representation in
p2p/enode. The wire protocol is unchanged, this can be considered a
refactoring change. The Kademlia table can now deal with nodes using an
arbitrary identity scheme. This requires a few incompatible API changes:
- Table.Lookup is not available anymore. It used to take a public key
as argument because v4 protocol requires one. Its replacement is
LookupRandom.
- Table.Resolve takes *enode.Node instead of NodeID. This is also for
v4 protocol compatibility because nodes cannot be looked up by ID
alone.
- Types Node and NodeID are gone. Further commits in the series will be
fixes all over the the codebase to deal with those removals.
* p2p: port to p2p/enode and discovery changes
This adapts package p2p to the changes in p2p/discover. All uses of
discover.Node and discover.NodeID are replaced by their equivalents from
p2p/enode.
New API is added to retrieve the enode.Node instance of a peer. The
behavior of Server.Self with discovery disabled is improved. It now
tries much harder to report a working IP address, falling back to
127.0.0.1 if no suitable address can be determined through other means.
These changes were needed for tests of other packages later in the
series.
* p2p/simulations, p2p/testing: port to p2p/enode
No surprises here, mostly replacements of discover.Node, discover.NodeID
with their new equivalents. The 'interesting' API changes are:
- testing.ProtocolSession tracks complete nodes, not just their IDs.
- adapters.NodeConfig has a new method to create a complete node.
These changes were needed to make swarm tests work.
Note that the NodeID change makes the code incompatible with old
simulation snapshots.
* whisper/whisperv5, whisper/whisperv6: port to p2p/enode
This port was easy because whisper uses []byte for node IDs and
URL strings in the API.
* eth: port to p2p/enode
Again, easy to port because eth uses strings for node IDs and doesn't
care about node information in any way.
* les: port to p2p/enode
Apart from replacing discover.NodeID with enode.ID, most changes are in
the server pool code. It now deals with complete nodes instead
of (Pubkey, IP, Port) triples. The database format is unchanged for now,
but we should probably change it to use the node database later.
* node: port to p2p/enode
This change simply replaces discover.Node and discover.NodeID with their
new equivalents.
* swarm/network: port to p2p/enode
Swarm has its own node address representation, BzzAddr, containing both
an overlay address (the hash of a secp256k1 public key) and an underlay
address (enode:// URL).
There are no changes to the BzzAddr format in this commit, but certain
operations such as creating a BzzAddr from a node ID are now impossible
because node IDs aren't public keys anymore.
Most swarm-related changes in the series remove uses of
NewAddrFromNodeID, replacing it with NewAddr which takes a complete node
as argument. ToOverlayAddr is removed because we can just use the node
ID directly.
* les: fix crasher in NodeInfo when running as server
The ProtocolManager computes CHT and Bloom trie roots by asking the
indexers for their current head. It tried to get the indexers from
LesOdr, but no LesOdr instance is created in server mode.
Attempt to fix this by moving the indexers, protocol creation and
NodeInfo to a new lesCommons struct which is embedded into both server
and client.
All this setup code should really be cleaned up, but this is just a
hotfix so we have to do that some other time.
* les: fix commons protocol maker
This PR enables the indexers to work in light client mode by
downloading a part of these tries (the Merkle proofs of the last
values of the last known section) in order to be able to add new
values and recalculate subsequent hashes. It also adds CHT data to
NodeInfo.
This PR implements les.freeClientPool. It also adds a simulated clock
in common/mclock, which enables time-sensitive tests to run quickly
and still produce accurate results, and package common/prque which is
a generalised variant of prque that enables removing elements other
than the top one from the queue.
les.freeClientPool implements a client database that limits the
connection time of each client and manages accepting/rejecting
incoming connections and even kicking out some connected clients. The
pool calculates recent usage time for each known client (a value that
increases linearly when the client is connected and decreases
exponentially when not connected). Clients with lower recent usage are
preferred, unknown nodes have the highest priority. Already connected
nodes receive a small bias in their favor in order to avoid accepting
and instantly kicking out clients.
Note: the pool can use any string for client identification. Using
signature keys for that purpose would not make sense when being known
has a negative value for the client. Currently the LES protocol
manager uses IP addresses (without port address) to identify clients.

This PR fixes a retriever logic bug. When a peer had a soft timeout
and then a response arrived, it always assumed it was the same peer
even though it could have been a later requested one that did not time
out at all yet. In this case the logic went to an illegal state and
deadlocked, causing a goroutine leak.
Fixes#16243 and replaces #16359.
Thanks to @riceke for finding the bug in the logic.
