This change allows the creation of a genesis block for verkle testnets. This makes for a chunk of code that is easier to review and still touches many discussion points.

This change improves GenerateChain to support internal chain history access (ChainReader)
for the consensus engine and EVM.
GenerateChain takes a `parent` block and the number of blocks to create. With my changes,
the consensus engine and EVM can now access blocks from `parent` up to the block currently
being generated. This is required to make the BLOCKHASH instruction work, and also needed
to create real clique chains. Clique uses chain history to figure out if the current signer is in-turn,
for example.
I've also added some more accessors to BlockGen. These are helpful when creating transactions:
- g.Signer returns a signer instance for the current block
- g.Difficulty returns the current block difficulty
- g.Gas returns the remaining gas amount
Another fix in this commit concerns the receipts returned by GenerateChain. The receipts now
have properly derived fields (BlockHash, etc.) and should generally match what would be
returned by the RPC API.
This adds warning logs when the read does not match the expected count.
We can also remove the size limit since the function documentation explicitly states
that callers should limit the count.
This PR removes panics from stacktrie (mostly), and makes the Update return errors instead. While adding tests for this, I also found that one case of possible corruption was not caught, which is now fixed.
This change enhances the stacktrie constructor by introducing an option struct. It also simplifies the `Hash` and `Commit` operations, getting rid of the special handling round root node.
During snap-sync, we request ranges of values: either a range of accounts or a range of storage values. For any large trie, e.g. the main account trie or a large storage trie, we cannot fetch everything at once.
Short version; we split it up and request in multiple stages. To do so, we use an origin field, to say "Give me all storage key/values where key > 0x20000000000000000". When the server fulfils this, the server provides the first key after origin, let's say 0x2e030000000000000 -- never providing the exact origin. However, the client-side needs to be able to verify that the 0x2e03.. indeed is the first one after 0x2000.., and therefore the attached proof concerns the origin, not the first key.
So, short-short version: the left-hand side of the proof relates to the origin, and is free-standing from the first leaf.
On the other hand, (pun intended), the right-hand side, there's no such 'gap' between "along what path does the proof walk" and the last provided leaf. The proof must prove the last element (unless there are no elements).
Therefore, we can simplify the semantics for trie.VerifyRangeProof by removing an argument. This doesn't make much difference in practice, but makes it so that we can remove some tests. The reason I am raising this is that the upcoming stacktrie-based verifier does not support such fancy features as standalone right-hand borders.
This change addresses an issue in snap sync, specifically when the entire sync process can be halted due to an encountered empty storage range.
Currently, on the snap sync client side, the response to an empty (partial) storage range is discarded as a non-delivery. However, this response can be a valid response, when the particular range requested does not contain any slots.
For instance, consider a large contract where the entire key space is divided into 16 chunks, and there are no available slots in the last chunk [0xf] -> [end]. When the node receives a request for this particular range, the response includes:
The proof with origin [0xf]
A nil storage slot set
If we simply discard this response, the finalization of the last range will be skipped, halting the entire sync process indefinitely. The test case TestSyncWithUnevenStorage can reproduce the scenario described above.
In addition, this change also defines the common variables MaxAddress and MaxHash.
* cmd, core: resolve scheme from a read-write database
* cmd, core, eth: move the scheme check in the ethereum constructor
* cmd/geth: dump should in ro mode
* cmd: reverts
This change
- Removes the owner-notion from a stacktrie; the owner is only ever needed for comitting to the database, but the commit-function, the `writeFn` is provided by the caller, so the caller can just set the owner into the `writeFn` instead of having it passed through the stacktrie.
- Removes the `encoding.BinaryMarshaler`/`encoding.BinaryUnmarshaler` interface from stacktrie. We're not using it, and it is doubtful whether anyone downstream is either.
Adding a space beween function opOrigin() and opcCaller() in instruciton.go.
Adding a space beween function opkeccak256() and opAddress() in instruciton.go.
When MatcherSession encounters an error, it attempts to close the session.
Closing waits for all goroutines to finish, including the 'distributor'. However, the
distributor will not exit until all requests have returned.
This patch fixes the issue by delivering the (empty) result to the distributor
before calling Close().
* 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
* rlp/rlpgen: remove build tag
This tag was supposed to prevent unstable output when types reference each other. Imagine
there are two struct types A and B, where a reference to type B is in A. If I run rlpgen
on type B first, and then on type A, the generator will see the B.EncodeRLP method and
call it. However, if I run rlpgen on type A first, it will inline the encoding of B.
The solution I chose for the initial release of rlpgen was to just ignore methods
generated by rlpgen using a build tag. But there is a problem with this: if any code in
the package calls EncodeRLP explicitly, the package can't be loaded without errors anymore
in rlpgen, because the loader ignores it. Would be nice if there was a way to just make it
ignore invalid functions during type checking (they're not necessary for rlpgen), but
golang.org/x/tools/go/packages does not provide a way of ignoring them.
Luckily, the types we use rlpgen with do not reference each other right now, so we can
just remove the build tags for now.
This change includes a lot of things, listed below.
### Split up interfaces, write vs read
The interfaces have been split up into one write-interface and one read-interface, with `Snapshot` being the gateway from write to read. This simplifies the semantics _a lot_.
Example of splitting up an interface into one readonly 'snapshot' part, and one updatable writeonly part:
```golang
type MeterSnapshot interface {
Count() int64
Rate1() float64
Rate5() float64
Rate15() float64
RateMean() float64
}
// Meters count events to produce exponentially-weighted moving average rates
// at one-, five-, and fifteen-minutes and a mean rate.
type Meter interface {
Mark(int64)
Snapshot() MeterSnapshot
Stop()
}
```
### A note about concurrency
This PR makes the concurrency model clearer. We have actual meters and snapshot of meters. The `meter` is the thing which can be accessed from the registry, and updates can be made to it.
- For all `meters`, (`Gauge`, `Timer` etc), it is assumed that they are accessed by different threads, making updates. Therefore, all `meters` update-methods (`Inc`, `Add`, `Update`, `Clear` etc) need to be concurrency-safe.
- All `meters` have a `Snapshot()` method. This method is _usually_ called from one thread, a backend-exporter. But it's fully possible to have several exporters simultaneously: therefore this method should also be concurrency-safe.
TLDR: `meter`s are accessible via registry, all their methods must be concurrency-safe.
For all `Snapshot`s, it is assumed that an individual exporter-thread has obtained a `meter` from the registry, and called the `Snapshot` method to obtain a readonly snapshot. This snapshot is _not_ guaranteed to be concurrency-safe. There's no need for a snapshot to be concurrency-safe, since exporters should not share snapshots.
Note, though: that by happenstance a lot of the snapshots _are_ concurrency-safe, being unmutable minimal representations of a value. Only the more complex ones are _not_ threadsafe, those that lazily calculate things like `Variance()`, `Mean()`.
Example of how a background exporter typically works, obtaining the snapshot and sequentially accessing the non-threadsafe methods in it:
```golang
ms := metric.Snapshot()
...
fields := map[string]interface{}{
"count": ms.Count(),
"max": ms.Max(),
"mean": ms.Mean(),
"min": ms.Min(),
"stddev": ms.StdDev(),
"variance": ms.Variance(),
```
TLDR: `snapshots` are not guaranteed to be concurrency-safe (but often are).
### Sample changes
I also changed the `Sample` type: previously, it iterated the samples fully every time `Mean()`,`Sum()`, `Min()` or `Max()` was invoked. Since we now have readonly base data, we can just iterate it once, in the constructor, and set all four values at once.
The same thing has been done for runtimehistogram.
### ResettingTimer API
Back when ResettingTImer was implemented, as part of https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/15910, Anton implemented a `Percentiles` on the new type. However, the method did not conform to the other existing types which also had a `Percentiles`.
1. The existing ones, on input, took `0.5` to mean `50%`. Anton used `50` to mean `50%`.
2. The existing ones returned `float64` outputs, thus interpolating between values. A value-set of `0, 10`, at `50%` would return `5`, whereas Anton's would return either `0` or `10`.
This PR removes the 'new' version, and uses only the 'legacy' percentiles, also for the ResettingTimer type.
The resetting timer snapshot was also defined so that it would expose the internal values. This has been removed, and getters for `Max, Min, Mean` have been added instead.
### Unexport types
A lot of types were exported, but do not need to be. This PR unexports quite a lot of them.
