## Proposed Changes
Run a second `Logger` via `sloggers` which logs to a file in the background with:
- separate `debug-level` for background and terminal logging
- the ability to limit log size
- rotation through a customizable number of log files
- an option to compress old log files (`.gz` format)
Add the following new CLI flags:
- `--logfile-debug-level`: The debug level of the log files
- `--logfile-max-size`: The maximum size of each log file
- `--logfile-max-number`: The number of old log files to store
- `--logfile-compress`: Whether to compress old log files
By default background logging uses the `debug` log level and saves logfiles to:
- Beacon Node: `$HOME/.lighthouse/$network/beacon/logs/beacon.log`
- Validator Client: `$HOME/.lighthouse/$network/validators/logs/validator.log`
Or, when using the `--datadir` flag:
`$datadir/beacon/logs/beacon.log` and `$datadir/validators/logs/validator.log`
Once rotated, old logs are stored like so: `beacon.log.1`, `beacon.log.2` etc.
> Note: `beacon.log.1` is always newer than `beacon.log.2`.
## Additional Info
Currently the default value of `--logfile-max-size` is 200 (MB) and `--logfile-max-number` is 5.
This means that the maximum storage space that the logs will take up by default is 1.2GB.
(200MB x 5 from old log files + <200MB the current logfile being written to)
Happy to adjust these default values to whatever people think is appropriate.
It's also worth noting that when logging to a file, we lose our custom `slog` formatting. This means the logfile logs look like this:
```

```
## Issue Addressed
Resolves#2602
## Proposed Changes
*Note: For a review it might help to look at the individual commits.*
### `boot_node`
Add support for the flags `dump-config` and `immediate-shutdown`. For `immediate-shutdown` the actual behavior could be described as `dump-config-and-exit`.
Both flags are handled in `boot_node::main`, which appears to be the simplest approach.
### `boot_node` regression tests
Added in `lighthouse/tests/boot_node.rs`.
### `CommandLineTestExec`
Factors out boilerplate related to CLI tests. It's used in the regression tests for `boot_node`, `beacon_node` and `validator_client`.
## Open TODO
Add tests for `boot_node` flags `enable-enr-auto-update` and `disable-packet-filter`. They end up in [`Discv5Config`](9ed2cba6bc/boot_node/src/config.rs (L29)), which doesn't support serde (de)serialization.
I haven't found a workaround - guidance would be appreciated.
## Description
The `eth2_libp2p` crate was originally named and designed to incorporate a simple libp2p integration into lighthouse. Since its origins the crates purpose has expanded dramatically. It now houses a lot more sophistication that is specific to lighthouse and no longer just a libp2p integration.
As of this writing it currently houses the following high-level lighthouse-specific logic:
- Lighthouse's implementation of the eth2 RPC protocol and specific encodings/decodings
- Integration and handling of ENRs with respect to libp2p and eth2
- Lighthouse's discovery logic, its integration with discv5 and logic about searching and handling peers.
- Lighthouse's peer manager - This is a large module handling various aspects of Lighthouse's network, such as peer scoring, handling pings and metadata, connection maintenance and recording, etc.
- Lighthouse's peer database - This is a collection of information stored for each individual peer which is specific to lighthouse. We store connection state, sync state, last seen ips and scores etc. The data stored for each peer is designed for various elements of the lighthouse code base such as syncing and the http api.
- Gossipsub scoring - This stores a collection of gossipsub 1.1 scoring mechanisms that are continuously analyssed and updated based on the ethereum 2 networks and how Lighthouse performs on these networks.
- Lighthouse specific types for managing gossipsub topics, sync status and ENR fields
- Lighthouse's network HTTP API metrics - A collection of metrics for lighthouse network monitoring
- Lighthouse's custom configuration of all networking protocols, RPC, gossipsub, discovery, identify and libp2p.
Therefore it makes sense to rename the crate to be more akin to its current purposes, simply that it manages the majority of Lighthouse's network stack. This PR renames this crate to `lighthouse_network`

## Proposed Changes
- Update versions to `v2.0.1` in anticipation for a release early next week.
- Add `--ignore` to `cargo audit`. See #2727.
## Additional Info
NA
## Proposed Changes
Cut the first release candidate for v2.0.0, in preparation for testing and release this week
## Additional Info
Builds on #2632, which should either be merged first or in the same batch
## Proposed Changes
This PR deletes all `remote_signer` code from Lighthouse, for the following reasons:
* The `remote_signer` code is unused, and we have no plans to use it now that we're moving to supporting the Web3Signer APIs: #2522
* It represents a significant maintenance burden. The HTTP API tests have been prone to platform-specific failures, and breakages due to dependency upgrades, e.g. #2400.
Although the code is deleted it remains in the Git history should we ever want to recover it. For ease of reference:
- The last commit containing remote signer code: 5a3bcd2904
- The last Lighthouse version: v1.5.1
## Issue Addressed
Related to: #2259
Made an attempt at all the necessary updates here to publish the crates to crates.io. I incremented the minor versions on all the crates that have been previously published. We still might run into some issues as we try to publish because I'm not able to test this out but I think it's a good starting point.
## Proposed Changes
- Add description and license to `ssz_types` and `serde_util`
- rename `serde_util` to `eth2_serde_util`
- increment minor versions
- remove path dependencies
- remove patch dependencies
## Additional Info
Crates published:
- [x] `tree_hash` -- need to publish `tree_hash_derive` and `eth2_hashing` first
- [x] `eth2_ssz_types` -- need to publish `eth2_serde_util` first

## Additional Info

## Proposed Changes
* Consolidate Tokio versions: everything now uses the latest v1.10.0, no more `tokio-compat`.
* Many semver-compatible changes via `cargo update`. Notably this upgrades from the yanked v0.8.0 version of crossbeam-deque which is present in v1.5.0-rc.0
* Many semver incompatible upgrades via `cargo upgrades` and `cargo upgrade --workspace pkg_name`. Notable ommissions:
- Prometheus, to be handled separately: https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/2485
- `rand`, `rand_xorshift`: the libsecp256k1 package requires 0.7.x, so we'll stick with that for now
- `ethereum-types` is pinned at 0.11.0 because that's what `web3` is using and it seems nice to have just a single version
## Additional Info
We still have two versions of `libp2p-core` due to `discv5` depending on the v0.29.0 release rather than `master`. AFAIK it should be OK to release in this state (cc @AgeManning )
## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
- Bump to `v1.5.0-rc.0`.
- Increase attestation reprocessing queue size (I saw this filling up on Prater).
- Reduce error log for full attn reprocessing queue to warn.
## TODO
- [x] Manual testing
- [x] Resolve https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/2493
- [x] Include https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/2501
## Proposed Changes
Modify the SHA256 implementation in `eth2_hashing` so that it switches between `ring` and `sha2` to take advantage of [x86_64 SHA extensions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_SHA_extensions). The extensions are available on modern Intel and AMD CPUs, and seem to provide a considerable speed-up: on my Ryzen 5950X it dropped state tree hashing times by about 30% from 35ms to 25ms (on Prater).
## Additional Info
The extensions became available in the `sha2` crate [last year](https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/hf2vcx/ann_rustcryptos_sha1_and_sha2_now_support/), and are not available in Ring, which uses a [pure Rust implementation of sha2](https://github.com/briansmith/ring/blob/main/src/digest/sha2.rs). Ring is faster on CPUs that lack the extensions so I've implemented a runtime switch to use `sha2` only when the extensions are available. The runtime switching seems to impose a miniscule penalty (see the benchmarks linked below).
## Issue Addressed
Closes#1661
## Proposed Changes
Add a dummy package called `target_check` which gets compiled early in the build and fails if the target is 32-bit
## Additional Info
You can test the efficacy of this check with:
```
cross build --release --manifest-path lighthouse/Cargo.toml --target i686-unknown-linux-gnu
```
In which case this compilation error is shown:
```
error: Lighthouse requires a 64-bit CPU and operating system

## Issue Addressed

## Proposed Changes
Bump versions.
## Additional Info
This is not exactly the v1.4.0 release described in [Lighthouse Update #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 #2340, #2356 and #2376 to merge and then rebase on `unstable`.
- [x] Ensure discovery issues are fixed (see #2388)
- [x] Ensure https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/2382 is merged/removed.
- [x] Ensure https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/2383 is merged/removed.
- [x] Ensure https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/2384 is merged/removed.
- [ ] Double-check eth1 cache is carried between boots
## 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: https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/2299#issuecomment-825322646
*Note: this only provides memory savings on the Linux (glibc) platform.*
## Additional Info
I'm going to close#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: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/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
## Issue Addressed
N/A
## Proposed Changes
Add unit tests for the various CLI flags associated with the beacon node and validator client. These changes require the addition of two new flags: `dump-config` and `immediate-shutdown`.
## Additional Info
Both `dump-config` and `immediate-shutdown` are marked as hidden since they should only be used in testing and other advanced use cases.
**Note:** This requires changing `main.rs` so that the flags can adjust the program behavior as necessary.

## Issue Addressed
resolves#2129resolves#2099
addresses some of #1712
unblocks #2076
unblocks #2153
## Proposed Changes
- Updates all the dependencies mentioned in #2129, except for web3. They haven't merged their tokio 1.0 update because they are waiting on some dependencies of their own. Since we only use web3 in tests, I think updating it in a separate issue is fine. If they are able to merge soon though, I can update in this PR.
- Updates `tokio_util` to 0.6.2 and `bytes` to 1.0.1.
- We haven't made a discv5 release since merging tokio 1.0 updates so I'm using a commit rather than release atm. **Edit:** I think we should merge an update of `tokio_util` to 0.6.2 into discv5 before this release because it has panic fixes in `DelayQueue` --> PR in discv5: https://github.com/sigp/discv5/pull/58
## Additional Info
tokio 1.0 changes that required some changes in lighthouse:
- `interval.next().await.is_some()` -> `interval.tick().await`
- `sleep` future is now `!Unpin` -> https://github.com/tokio-rs/tokio/issues/3028
- `try_recv` has been temporarily removed from `mpsc` -> https://github.com/tokio-rs/tokio/issues/3350
- stream features have moved to `tokio-stream` and `broadcast::Receiver::into_stream()` has been temporarily removed -> `https://github.com/tokio-rs/tokio/issues/2870
- I've copied over the `BroadcastStream` wrapper from this PR, but can update to use `tokio-stream` once it's merged https://github.com/tokio-rs/tokio/pull/3384

## Proposed Changes
Run cargo update and bump version in prep for v1.0.4 release
## Additional Info
Planning to merge this commit to `unstable`, test on Pyrmont and canary nodes, then push to `stable`.
## Issue Addressed
Closes#1264
## Proposed Changes
* Milagro BLS: tweak the feature flags so that Milagro doesn't get compiled if we're using BLST. Profiling showed that it was consuming about 1 minute of CPU time out of 60 minutes of CPU time (real time ~15 mins). A 1.6% saving.
* Reduce monomorphization: compiling for 3 different `EthSpec` types causes a heck of a lot of generic functions to be instantiated (monomorphized). Removing 2 of 3 cuts the LLVM+linking step from around 250 seconds to 180 seconds, a saving of 70 seconds (real time!). This applies only to `make` and not the CI build, because we test with the minimal spec on CI.
* Update `web3` crate to v0.13. This is perhaps the most controversial change, because it requires axing some deposit contract tools from `lcli`. I suspect these tools weren't used much anyway, and could be maintained separately, but I'm also happy to revert this change. However, it does save us a lot of compile time. With #1839, we now have 3 versions of Tokio (and all of Tokio's deps). This change brings us down to 2 versions, but 1 should be achievable once web3 (and reqwest) move to Tokio 0.3.
* Remove `lcli` from the Docker image. It's a dev tool and can be built from the repo if required.
## Issue Addressed
#1992 and #1987, and also to be considered a continuation of #1751
## Proposed Changes
many changed files but most are renaming to align the code with the semantics of `--network`
- remove the `--network` default value (in clap) and instead set it after checking the `network` and `testnet-dir` flags
- move `eth2_testnet_config` crate to `eth2_network_config`
- move `Eth2TestnetConfig` to `Eth2NetworkConfig`
- move `DEFAULT_HARDCODED_TESTNET` to `DEFAULT_HARDCODED_NETWORK`
- `beacon_node`s `get_eth2_testnet_config` loads the `DEFAULT_HARDCODED_NETWORK` if there is no network nor testnet provided
- `boot_node`s config loads the config same as the `beacon_node`, it was using the configuration only for preconfigured networks (That code is ~1year old so I asume it was not intended)
- removed a one year old comment stating we should try to emulate `https://github.com/eth2-clients/eth2-testnets/tree/master/nimbus/testnet1` it looks outdated (?)
- remove `lighthouse`s `load_testnet_config` in favor of `get_eth2_network_config` to centralize that logic (It had differences)
- some spelling
## Additional Info
Both the command of #1992 and the scripts of #1987 seem to work fine, same as `bn` and `vc`
## Issue Addressed

## Proposed Changes
Updates out of date dependencies.
## Additional Info
See also https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/1712 for a list of dependencies that are still out of date and the resasons.
Update lighthouse to version `v1.0.2`.
There are two major updates in this version:
- Updates to the task executor to tokio 0.3 and all sub-dependencies relying on core execution, including libp2p
- Update BLST
## Description
This PR updates Lighthouse to tokio 0.3. It includes a number of dependency updates and some structural changes as to how we create and spawn tasks.
This also brings with it a number of various improvements:
- Discv5 update
- Libp2p update
- Fix for recompilation issues
- Improved UPnP port mapping handling
- Futures dependency update
- Log downgrade to traces for rejecting peers when we've reached our max
