Issue Addressed

Windows incompatibility.

Proposed Changes

On windows, lighthouse needs to default to STDIN as tty doesn't exist. Also Windows uses ACLs for file permissions. So to mirror chmod 600, we will remove every entry in a file's ACL and add only a single SID that is an alias for the file owner.

Beyond that, there were several changes made to different unit tests because windows has slightly different error messages as well as frustrating nuances around killing a process :/

Additional Info

Tested on my Windows VM and it appears to work, also compiled & tested on Linux with these changes. Permissions look correct on both platforms now. Just waiting for my validator to activate on Prater so I can test running full validator client on windows.

Closes #1237?

## Issue Addressed

Closes #2159

## Proposed Changes

Rather than trying to write the validator definitions to disk directly, use a temporary file called `.validator_defintions.yml.tmp` and then atomically rename it to `validator_definitions.yml`. This avoids truncating the primary file, which can cause permanent damage when the disk is full.

The same treatment is also applied to the validator key cache, although the situation is less dire if it becomes corrupted because it can just be deleted without the user having to reimport keys or resupply passwords.

## Additional Info

* `File::create` truncates upon opening: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/fs/struct.File.html#method.create
* `fs::rename` uses `rename` on UNIX and `MoveFileEx` on Windows: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/fs/fn.rename.html
* UNIX `rename` call is atomic: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/322038/is-mv-atomic-on-my-fs
* Windows `MoveFileEx` is _not_ atomic in general, and Windows lacks any clear API for atomic file renames :(
   https://stackoverflow.com/questions/167414/is-an-atomic-file-rename-with-overwrite-possible-on-windows

## Further Work

* Consider whether we want to try a different Windows syscall as part of #2333. The `rust-atomicwrites` crate seems promising, but actually uses the same syscall under the hood presently: untitaker/rust-atomicwrites#27.

I went on a deep dive with the slasher and LMDB.

It turns out the LMDB codebase has two main branches:

  • mdb.RE/0.9: stable code deemed worthy of release as part of the v0.9.x series
  • mdb.master: experimental/under-development code

The bug we are interested in patching is ITS#8324, which causes LMDB to pre-allocate the entirety of the mapped file on Windows. The bugfix is unfortunately only available on mdb.master at the moment, so no stable release of LMDB exists for us to target. I confirmed that using mdb.master resolves the issue, and the tests pass. For reference, this is the patch for Cargo.toml:

[patch]
[patch.crates-io]
lmdb-sys = { git = "https://github.com/michaelsproul/lmdb-rs", branch = "windows-fix-track-master" }

I don't think we should use this solution in prod because we have no idea what gnarly bugs may be lurking in the weeds of LMDB's dev branch. Instead I think we should:

  • Put a warning in the slasher docs that the entirety of the max-db-size will get allocated on Windows.
  • Tweak the slasher tests to use a new Config::testing function rather than Config::new, which sets the max map size to something more reasonable (even 10-20MB should be fine). E.g. here.
  • Open an issue for eventually migrating to an LMDB release including the fix, once one becomes available.

NB: the release we eventually want should include NtCreateSection: https://github.com/LMDB/lmdb/blob/4b6154340c27d03592b8824646a3bc4eb7ab61f5/libraries/liblmdb/mdb.c#L4488

@ethDreamer I've fixed the slasher tests & opened an issue for the LMDB update (#2342). Could you please take care of updating the book? It lives here: https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/tree/stable/book/src

I think we should edit the Build from Source page: https://lighthouse-book.sigmaprime.io/installation-source.html

And add a warning about Windows pre-allocating the entire database to the system requirements section for the slasher: https://lighthouse-book.sigmaprime.io/slasher.html#minimum-system-requirements

Looks like the remaining CLI tests could be fixed by adding --slasher-max-db-size 16 or similar. Can be Windows specific, but doesn't need to be.

    Ignore inactive validators in validator monitor (sigp#2396)

    ## Proposed Changes

    A user on Discord (`@ChewsMacRibs`) reported that the validator monitor was logging `WARN Attested to an incorrect head` for their validator while it was awaiting activation.

    This PR modifies the monitor so that it ignores inactive validators, by the logic that they are either awaiting activation, or have already exited. Either way, there's no way for an inactive validator to have their attestations included on chain, so no need for the monitor to report on them.

    ## Additional Info

    To reproduce the bug requires registering validator keys manually with `--validator-monitor-pubkeys`. I don't think the bug will present itself with `--validator-monitor-auto`.

    Handle Geth pre-EIP-155 block sync error condition (sigp#2304)

    ## Issue Addressed

    sigp#2293

    ## Proposed Changes

     - Modify the handler for the `eth_chainId` RPC (i.e., `get_chain_id`) to explicitly match against the Geth error string returned for pre-EIP-155 synced Geth nodes
     - ~~Add a new helper function, `rpc_error_msg`, to aid in the above point~~
     - Refactor `response_result` into `response_result_or_error` and patch reliant RPC handlers accordingly (thanks to @pawanjay176)

    ## Additional Info

    Geth, as of Pangaea Expanse (v1.10.0), returns an explicit error when it is not synced past the EIP-155 block (2675000). Previously, Geth simply returned a chain ID of 0 (which was obviously much easier to handle on Lighthouse's part).

    Modify Malloc Tuning (sigp#2398)

    ## Issue Addressed

    NA

    ## Proposed Changes

    I've noticed some of the SigP Prater nodes struggling on v1.4.0-rc.0. I suspect this is due to the changes in sigp#2296. Specifically, the trade-off which lowered the memory footprint whilst increasing runtime on some functions.

    Presently, this PR is documenting my testing on Prater.

    NA

    ## Proposed Changes

    Only run `configure_memory_alllocator` for the BN process.

    I noticed that VC memory usage increases significantly with the new malloc tuning parameters. This was also raised by a user on [r/ethstaker](https://www.reddit.com/r/ethstaker/comments/nr8998/lighthouse_prerelease_v140rc0/h0fnt9l?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3).

    There wasn't any issue with memory usage by the VC before we implemented sigp#2296, so I think we were a bit overzealous when we allowed these changes to affect it. This PR allows things that weren't broken to remain unfixed.

    Make less logs for attn with unknown head (sigp#2395)

    ## Issue Addressed

    NA

    ## Proposed Changes

    I am starting to see a lot of slog-async overflows (i.e., too many logs) on Prater whenever we see attestations for an unknown block. Since these logs are identical (except for peer id) and we expose volume/count of these errors via `metrics::GOSSIP_ATTESTATION_ERRORS_PER_TYPE`, I took the following actions to remove them from `DEBUG` logs:

    - Push the "Attestation for unknown block" log to trace.
    - Add a debug log in `search_for_block`. In effect, this should serve as a de-duped version of the previous, downgraded log.

    ## Issue Addressed

    NA

    ## Proposed Changes

    Bump versions.

    ## Additional Info

    This is not exactly the v1.4.0 release described in [Lighthouse Update sigp#36](https://lighthouse.sigmaprime.io/update-36.html).

    Whilst it contains:

    - Beta Windows support
    - A reduction in Eth1 queries
    - A reduction in memory footprint

    It does not contain:

    - Altair
    - Doppelganger Protection
    - The remote signer

    We have decided to release some features early. This is primarily due to the desire to allow users to benefit from the memory saving improvements as soon as possible.

    ## TODO

    - [x] Wait for sigp#2340, sigp#2356 and sigp#2376 to merge and then rebase on `unstable`.

    Add early check for RPC block relevancy (sigp#2289)

    ## Issue Addressed

    NA

    ## Proposed Changes

    When observing `jemallocator` heap profiles and Grafana, it became clear that Lighthouse is spending significant RAM/CPU on processing blocks from the RPC. On investigation, it seems that we are loading the parent of the block *before* we check to see if the block is already known. This is a big waste of resources.

    This PR adds an additional `check_block_relevancy` call as the first thing we do when we try to process a `SignedBeaconBlock` via the RPC (or other similar methods). Ultimately, `check_block_relevancy` will be called again later in the block processing flow. It's a very light function and I don't think trying to optimize it out is worth the risk of a bad block slipping through.

    Also adds a `New RPC block received` info log when we process a new RPC block. This seems like interesting and infrequent info.

    Return a specific error for frozen attn states (sigp#2384)

    ## Issue Addressed

    NA

    ## Proposed Changes

    Return a very specific error when at attestation reads shuffling from a frozen `BeaconState`. Previously, this was returning `MissingBeaconState` which indicates a much more serious issue.

    ## Additional Info

    Since `get_inconsistent_state_for_attestation_verification_only` is only called once in `BeaconChain::with_committee_cache`, it is quite easy to reason about the impact of this change.

    Return more detail in Eth1 HTTP errors (sigp#2383)

    ## Issue Addressed

    NA

    ## Proposed Changes

    Whilst investigating sigp#2372, I [learned](sigp#2372 (comment)) that the error message returned from some failed Eth1 requests are always `NotReachable`. This makes debugging quite painful.

    This PR adds more detail to these errors. For example:

    - Bad infura key: `ERRO Failed to update eth1 cache             error: Failed to update Eth1 service: "All fallback errored: https://mainnet.infura.io/ => EndpointError(RequestFailed(\"Response HTTP status was not 200 OK:  401 Unauthorized.\"))", retry_millis: 60000, service: eth1_rpc`
    - Unreachable server: `ERRO Failed to update eth1 cache             error: Failed to update Eth1 service: "All fallback errored: http://127.0.0.1:8545/ => EndpointError(RequestFailed(\"Request failed: reqwest::Error { kind: Request, url: Url { scheme: \\\"http\\\", cannot_be_a_base: false, username: \\\"\\\", password: None, host: Some(Ipv4(127.0.0.1)), port: Some(8545), path: \\\"/\\\", query: None, fragment: None }, source: hyper::Error(Connect, ConnectError(\\\"tcp connect error\\\", Os { code: 111, kind: ConnectionRefused, message: \\\"Connection refused\\\" })) }\"))", retry_millis: 60000, service: eth1_rpc`
    - Bad server: `ERRO Failed to update eth1 cache             error: Failed to update Eth1 service: "All fallback errored: http://127.0.0.1:8545/ => EndpointError(RequestFailed(\"Response HTTP status was not 200 OK:  501 Not Implemented.\"))", retry_millis: 60000, service: eth1_rpc`

    Use the forwards iterator more often (sigp#2376)

    ## Issue Addressed

    NA

    ## Primary Change

    When investigating memory usage, I noticed that retrieving a block from an early slot (e.g., slot 900) would cause a sharp increase in the memory footprint (from 400mb to 800mb+) which seemed to be ever-lasting.

    After some investigation, I found that the reverse iteration from the head back to that slot was the likely culprit. To counter this, I've switched the `BeaconChain::block_root_at_slot` to use the forwards iterator, instead of the reverse one.

    I also noticed that the networking stack is using `BeaconChain::root_at_slot` to check if a peer is relevant (`check_peer_relevance`). Perhaps the steep, seemingly-random-but-consistent increases in memory usage are caused by the use of this function.

    Using the forwards iterator with the HTTP API alleviated the sharp increases in memory usage. It also made the response much faster (before it felt like to took 1-2s, now it feels instant).

    ## Additional Changes

    In the process I also noticed that we have two functions for getting block roots:

    - `BeaconChain::block_root_at_slot`: returns `None` for a skip slot.
    - `BeaconChain::root_at_slot`: returns the previous root for a skip slot.

    I unified these two functions into `block_root_at_slot` and added the `WhenSlotSkipped` enum. Now, the caller must be explicit about the skip-slot behaviour when requesting a root.

    Additionally, I replaced `vec![]` with `Vec::with_capacity` in `store::chunked_vector::range_query`. I stumbled across this whilst debugging and made this modification to see what effect it would have (not much). It seems like a decent change to keep around, but I'm not concerned either way.

    Also, `BeaconChain::get_ancestor_block_root` is unused, so I got rid of it :wastebasket:.

    ## Additional Info

    I haven't also done the same for state roots here. Whilst it's possible and a good idea, it's more work since the fwds iterators are presently block-roots-specific.

    Whilst there's a few places a reverse iteration of state roots could be triggered (e.g., attestation production, HTTP API), they're no where near as common as the `check_peer_relevance` call. As such, I think we should get this PR merged first, then come back for the state root iters. I made an issue here sigp#2377.

    Minimum Outbound-Only Peers Requirement (sigp#2356)

    ## Issue Addressed

    sigp#2325

    ## Proposed Changes

    This pull request changes the behavior of the Peer Manager by including a minimum outbound-only peers requirement. The peer manager will continue querying for peers if this outbound-only target number hasn't been met. Additionally, when peers are being removed, an outbound-only peer will not be disconnected if doing so brings us below the minimum.

    ## Additional Info

    Unit test for heartbeat function tests that disconnection behavior is correct. Continual querying for peers if outbound-only hasn't been met is not directly tested, but indirectly through unit testing of the helper function that counts the number of outbound-only peers.

    EDIT: Am concerned about the behavior of ```update_peer_scores```. If we have connected to a peer with a score below the disconnection threshold (-20), then its connection status will remain connected, while its score state will change to disconnected.

    ```rust
    let previous_state = info.score_state();
    // Update scores
    info.score_update();
    Self::handle_score_transitions(
                   previous_state,
                    peer_id,
                    info,
                   &mut to_ban_peers,
                   &mut to_unban_peers,
                   &mut self.events,
                   &self.log,
    );
    ```

    ```previous_state``` will be set to Disconnected, and then because ```handle_score_transitions``` only changes connection status for a peer if the state changed, the peer remains connected. Then in the heartbeat code, because we only disconnect healthy peers if we have too many peers, these peers don't get disconnected. I'm not sure realistically how often this scenario would occur, but it might be better to adjust the logic to account for scenarios where the score state implies a connection status different from the current connection status.

    Reduce outbound requests to eth1 endpoints (sigp#2340)

    ## Issue Addressed

    sigp#2282

    ## Proposed Changes

    Reduce the outbound requests made to eth1 endpoints by caching the results from `eth_chainId` and `net_version`.
    Further reduce the overall request count by increasing `auto_update_interval_millis` from `7_000` (7 seconds) to `60_000` (1 minute).
    This will result in a reduction from ~2000 requests per hour to 360 requests per hour (during normal operation). A reduction of 82%.

    ## Additional Info

    If an endpoint fails, its state is dropped from the cache and the `eth_chainId` and `net_version` calls will be made for that endpoint again during the regular update cycle (once per minute) until it is back online.

    Correct issue with dialing peers (sigp#2375)

    The ordering of adding new peers to the peerdb and deciding when to dial them was not considered in a previous update.

    This adds the condition that if a peer is not in the peer-db then it is an acceptable peer to dial.

    This makes sigp#2374 obsolete.

    Tune GNU malloc (sigp#2299)

    ## Issue Addressed

    NA

    ## Proposed Changes

    Modify the configuration of [GNU malloc](https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/The-GNU-Allocator.html) to reduce memory footprint.

    - Set `M_ARENA_MAX` to 4.
        - This reduces memory fragmentation at the cost of contention between threads.
    - Set `M_MMAP_THRESHOLD` to 2mb
        - This means that any allocation >= 2mb is allocated via an anonymous mmap, instead of on the heap/arena. This reduces memory fragmentation since we don't need to keep growing the heap to find big contiguous slabs of free memory.
    - ~~Run `malloc_trim` every 60 seconds.~~
        - ~~This shaves unused memory from the top of the heap, preventing the heap from constantly growing.~~
        - Removed, see: sigp#2299 (comment)

    *Note: this only provides memory savings on the Linux (glibc) platform.*

    ## Additional Info

    I'm going to close sigp#2288 in favor of this for the following reasons:

    - I've managed to get the memory footprint *smaller* here than with jemalloc.
    - This PR seems to be less of a dramatic change than bringing in the jemalloc dep.
    - The changes in this PR are strictly runtime changes, so we can create CLI flags which disable them completely. Since this change is wide-reaching and complex, it's nice to have an easy "escape hatch" if there are undesired consequences.

    ## TODO

    - [x] Allow configuration via CLI flags
    - [x] Test on Mac
    - [x] Test on RasPi.
    - [x] Determine if GNU malloc is present?
        - I'm not quite sure how to detect for glibc.. This issue suggests we can't really: rust-lang/rust#33244
    - [x] Make a clear argument regarding the affect of this on CPU utilization.
    - [x] Test with higher `M_ARENA_MAX` values.
    - [x] Test with longer trim intervals
    - [x] Add some stats about memory savings
    - [x] Remove `malloc_trim` calls & code

    Add Windows to Bors config (sigp#2358)

    We accidentally omitted the new Windows tests (sigp#2333) from the Bors config, meaning that PRs will merge before the tests pass. This PR corrects that.

    Enable Compatibility with Windows (sigp#2333)

    ## Issue Addressed

    Windows incompatibility.

    ## Proposed Changes

    On windows, lighthouse needs to default to STDIN as tty doesn't exist. Also Windows uses ACLs for file permissions. So to mirror chmod 600, we will remove every entry in a file's ACL and add only a single SID that is an alias for the file owner.

    Beyond that, there were several changes made to different unit tests because windows has slightly different error messages as well as frustrating nuances around killing a process :/

    ## Additional Info

    Tested on my Windows VM and it appears to work, also compiled & tested on Linux with these changes. Permissions look correct on both platforms now. Just waiting for my validator to activate on Prater so I can test running full validator client on windows.
