Hi,
I'm syncing Gnosis on a Celeron N5100 to get familiar with the codebase.
In the process I managed to optimize some things from profiling.
Since I'm not yet on the project Discord, I decided to open this PR as a
suggestion. This pass all tests here and gave me a nice boost for that
platform, although I didn't have time to benchmark it yet.
* reuse VM Memory objects with sync.Pool. It starts with 4k as `evmone`
[code
suggested](0897edb001/lib/evmone/execution_state.hpp (L49))
as a good value.
* set32 simplification: mostly cosmetic
* sha256-simd: Celeron has SHA instructions. We should probably do the
same for torrent later, but this already helped as it is very CPU bound
on such a low end processor. Maybe that helps ARM as well.
* VmTrace
* Fixes to gasCall, beginning of vmTrace
* Fix opcode tracer
* Add mem and store, enable vmTrace for all methods
* Fix lint
* More nuances and debugging|
* More fixes
* Fix for trace_callMany
* Fix for trace_callMany

* core/vm: improve jumpdest lookup
* Use uint256 in EVM implementation (kudos to Pawel Bylica)
* Safety precaution in opMulmod

* 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
* vm/test: add tests+benchmarks for mstore
* core/vm: less alloc and copying for mstore
* core/vm: less allocs in sload
* vm: check for errors more correctly
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)
Reworked the EVM gas instructions to use 64bit integers rather than
arbitrary size big ints. All gas operations, be it additions,
multiplications or divisions, are checked and guarded against 64 bit
integer overflows.
In additon, most of the protocol paramaters in the params package have
been converted to uint64 and are now constants rather than variables.
* common/math: added overflow check ops
* core: vmenv, env renamed to evm
* eth, internal/ethapi, les: unmetered eth_call and cancel methods
* core/vm: implemented big.Int pool for evm instructions
* core/vm: unexported intPool methods & verification methods
* core/vm: added memoryGasCost overflow check and test

* Moved `vm.Transfer` to `core` package and changed execution to call
`env.Transfer` instead of `core.Transfer` directly.
* core/vm: byte code VM moved to jump table instead of switch
* Moved `vm.Transfer` to `core` package and changed execution to call
`env.Transfer` instead of `core.Transfer` directly.
* Byte code VM now shares the same code as the JITVM
* Renamed Context to Contract
* Changed initialiser of state transition & unexported methods
* Removed the Execution object and refactor `Call`, `CallCode` &
`Create` in to their own functions instead of being methods.
* Removed the hard dep on the state for the VM. The VM now
depends on a Database interface returned by the environment. In the
process the core now depends less on the statedb by usage of the env
* Moved `Log` from package `core/state` to package `core/vm`.
