Here we add a Go API for running tracing plugins within the main block import process.
As an advanced user of geth, you can now create a Go file in eth/tracers/live/, and within
that file register your custom tracer implementation. Then recompile geth and select your tracer
on the command line. Hooks defined in the tracer will run whenever a block is processed.
The hook system is defined in package core/tracing. It uses a struct with callbacks, instead of
requiring an interface, for several reasons:
- We plan to keep this API stable long-term. The core/tracing hook API does not depend on
on deep geth internals.
- There are a lot of hooks, and tracers will only need some of them. Using a struct allows you
to implement only the hooks you want to actually use.
All existing tracers in eth/tracers/native have been rewritten to use the new hook system.
This change breaks compatibility with the vm.EVMLogger interface that we used to have.
If you are a user of vm.EVMLogger, please migrate to core/tracing, and sorry for breaking
your stuff. But we just couldn't have both the old and new tracing APIs coexist in the EVM.

* core/vm/testdata: add gascost expectations to testcases
* core/vm: verify expected gas in tests for precompiles
* core/vm: fix overflow flaw in gas/s calculation
* core/vm: fix incorrect computation of discount
During testing on Yolov1 we found that the way geth calculates the discount
is not in line with the specification. Basically what we did is calculate
128 * Bls12381GXMulGas * discount / 1000 whenever we received more than 128 pairs
of values. Correct would be to calculate k * Bls12381... for k > 128.
* core/vm: better logic for discount calculation
* core/vm: better calculation logic, added worstcase benchmarks
* core/vm: better benchmarking logic
* core/evm, contracts: avoid copying memory for input in calls + make ecrecover not modify input buffer
* core/vm: optimize mstore a bit
* core/vm: change Get -> GetCopy in vm memory access
The precompile at 0x09 wraps the BLAKE2b F compression function:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7693#section-3.2
The precompile requires 6 inputs tightly encoded, taking exactly 213
bytes, as explained below.
- `rounds` - the number of rounds - 32-bit unsigned big-endian word
- `h` - the state vector - 8 unsigned 64-bit little-endian words
- `m` - the message block vector - 16 unsigned 64-bit little-endian words
- `t_0, t_1` - offset counters - 2 unsigned 64-bit little-endian words
- `f` - the final block indicator flag - 8-bit word
[4 bytes for rounds][64 bytes for h][128 bytes for m][8 bytes for t_0]
[8 bytes for t_1][1 byte for f]
The boolean `f` parameter is considered as `true` if set to `1`.
The boolean `f` parameter is considered as `false` if set to `0`.
All other values yield an invalid encoding of `f` error.
The precompile should compute the F function as specified in the RFC
(https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7693#section-3.2) and return the updated
state vector `h` with unchanged encoding (little-endian).
See EIP-152 for details.
This commit is a preparation for the upcoming metropolis hardfork. It
prepares the state, core and vm packages such that integration with
metropolis becomes less of a hassle.
* Difficulty calculation requires header instead of individual
parameters
* statedb.StartRecord renamed to statedb.Prepare and added Finalise
method required by metropolis, which removes unwanted accounts from
the state (i.e. selfdestruct)
* State keeps record of destructed objects (in addition to dirty
objects)
* core/vm pre-compiles may now return errors
* core/vm pre-compiles gas check now take the full byte slice as argument
instead of just the size
* core/vm now keeps several hard-fork instruction tables instead of a
single instruction table and removes the need for hard-fork checks in
the instructions
* core/vm contains a empty restruction function which is added in
preparation of metropolis write-only mode operations
* Adds the bn256 curve
* Adds and sets the metropolis chain config block parameters (2^64-1)
