The bulk of this PR is authored by @lightclient , in the original
EOF-work. More recently, the code has been picked up and reworked for the new EOF
specification, by @MariusVanDerWijden , in https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/29518, and also @shemnon has contributed with fixes.
This PR is an attempt to start eating the elephant one small bite at a
time, by selecting only the eof-validation as a standalone piece which
can be merged without interfering too much in the core stuff.
In this PR:
- [x] Validation of eof containers, lifted from #29518, along with
test-vectors from consensus-tests and fuzzing, to ensure that the move
did not lose any functionality.
- [x] Definition of eof opcodes, which is a prerequisite for validation
- [x] Addition of `undefined` to a jumptable entry item. I'm not
super-happy with this, but for the moment it seems the least invasive
way to do it. A better way might be to go back and allowing nil-items or
nil execute-functions to denote "undefined".
- [x] benchmarks of eof validation speed

* cmd/evm: improve flags handling
This fixes some issues with flags in cmd/evm. The supported flags did not
actually show up in help output because they weren't categorized. I'm also
adding the VM-related flags to the run command here so they can be given
after the subcommand name. So it can be run like this now:
./evm run --code 6001 --debug
* cmd/evm: enable all forks by default in run command
The default genesis was just empty with no forks at all, which is annoying because
contracts will be relying on opcodes introduced in a fork. So this changes the default to
have all forks enabled.
* core/asm: fix some issues in the assembler
This fixes minor bugs in the old assembler:
- It is now possible to have comments on the same line as an instruction.
- Errors for invalid numbers in the jump instruction are reported better
- Line numbers in errors were off by one
* core/asm: Fix encoding of pushed labels
EVM uses big-endian byte-order, so to pad a label value to 4 bytes,
zeros must be added to the front, not the end.
* core/asm: Fix PC calculations when a label is pushed
Incrementing PC by 5 is only correct if the label appears after a jump,
in which case there is an implicit push. When it appears after an explicit
push, PC should only be incremented by 4.
* core/asm: Allow JUMP with no argument
This way, a label can be pushed explicitly, or loaded from memory to
implement a jump table.
