Closes#4837
- `/block_results`
before:
failed to update light client to 7: failed to obtain the header #7: signed header not found
after:
We can't return the latest block results because we won't be able to
prove them. Return the results for the previous block instead.
- /block_results?height=X`
no changes
Ethermint currently has to maintain a map height-> block hash on the store (see here) as it needs to expose the eth_getBlockByHash JSON-RPC query for Web3 compatibility. This query is currently not supported by the tendermint RPC client.
Closes#4603
Commands used (VIM):
```
:args `rg -l errors.Wrap`
:argdo normal @q | update
```
where q is a macros rewriting the `errors.Wrap` to `fmt.Errorf`.
Closes#4783
It looks like we're validating Commit twice. Also, height and blockID params were coming from the commit, so no need to pass them separately.
Fixes#4739, kind of. See #4740 for the proper fix.

Closes: #4530
This PR contains logic for both submitting an evidence by the light client (lite2 package) and receiving it on the Tendermint side (/broadcast_evidence RPC and/or EvidenceReactor#Receive). Upon receiving the ConflictingHeadersEvidence (introduced by this PR), the Tendermint validates it, then breaks it down into smaller pieces (DuplicateVoteEvidence, LunaticValidatorEvidence, PhantomValidatorEvidence, PotentialAmnesiaEvidence). Afterwards, each piece of evidence is verified against the state of the full node and added to the pool, from which it's reaped upon block creation.
* rpc/client: do not pass height param if height ptr is nil
* rpc/core: validate incoming evidence!
* only accept ConflictingHeadersEvidence if one
of the headers is committed from this full node's perspective
This simplifies the code. Plus, if there are multiple forks, we'll
likely to receive multiple ConflictingHeadersEvidence anyway.
* swap CommitSig with Vote in LunaticValidatorEvidence
Vote is needed to validate signature
* no need to embed client
http is a provider and should not be used as a client

Closes: #4537
Uses SignedHeaderBefore to find header before unverified header and then bisection to verify the header. Only when header is between first and last trusted header height else if before the first trusted header height then regular backwards verification is used.
Closes: #4546
The algorithm uses an array to store the headers and validators and populates it at every bisection (which is an unsuccessful verification). When a successful verification finally occurs it updates the new trusted header, trims that header from the cache (the array) and sets the depth pointer back to 0. Instead of retrieving new headers it will use the cached headers, incrementing in depth until it reaches the end of the cache which by then it will start to retrieve new headers from the provider.
Mathematically, this method doesn't properly bisect after the first round but it will always choose a pivot header that is within 1/8th of the upper header's height. I.e. if we are trying to jump 128 headers, the maximum offset from bisection height (64) is 64 + 16(128/8) = 80, therefore a better heuristic would be to obtain the new pivot header height as the middle of these two numbers which would therefore mean to multiply it by 9/16ths instead of 1/2 (sorry this might be a bit more complicated in writing but I can try better explain if someone is interested). Therefore I would also, upon consensus, propose that we change the pivot height to 9/16th's of the previous height

Created a new error ErrInvalidHeaderwhich can be formed during the verification process verifier.go and will result in the replacement of the primary provider with a witness by executing: replacePrimaryProvider()
Co-authored-by: Anton Kaliaev <anton.kalyaev@gmail.com>
error itself is not enough since it only signals if there were any
errors. Either (types.SignedHeader) or (success bool) is needed to
indicate the status of the operation. Returning a header is optimal
since most of the clients will want to get a newly verified header
anyway.
We first introduced auto-update as a separate struct AutoClient, which
was wrapping Client and calling Update periodically.
// AutoClient can auto update itself by fetching headers every N seconds.
type AutoClient struct {
base *Client
updatePeriod time.Duration
quit chan struct{}
trustedHeaders chan *types.SignedHeader
errs chan error
}
// NewAutoClient creates a new client and starts a polling goroutine.
func NewAutoClient(base *Client, updatePeriod time.Duration) *AutoClient {
c := &AutoClient{
base: base,
updatePeriod: updatePeriod,
quit: make(chan struct{}),
trustedHeaders: make(chan *types.SignedHeader),
errs: make(chan error),
}
go c.autoUpdate()
return c
}
// TrustedHeaders returns a channel onto which new trusted headers are posted.
func (c *AutoClient) TrustedHeaders() <-chan *types.SignedHeader {
return c.trustedHeaders
}
// Err returns a channel onto which errors are posted.
func (c *AutoClient) Errs() <-chan error {
return c.errs
}
// Stop stops the client.
func (c *AutoClient) Stop() {
close(c.quit)
}
func (c *AutoClient) autoUpdate() {
ticker := time.NewTicker(c.updatePeriod)
defer ticker.Stop()
for {
select {
case <-ticker.C:
lastTrustedHeight, err := c.base.LastTrustedHeight()
if err != nil {
c.errs <- err
continue
}
if lastTrustedHeight == -1 {
// no headers yet => wait
continue
}
newTrustedHeader, err := c.base.Update(time.Now())
if err != nil {
c.errs <- err
continue
}
if newTrustedHeader != nil {
c.trustedHeaders <- newTrustedHeader
}
case <-c.quit:
return
}
}
}
Later we merged it into the Client itself with the assumption that most clients will want it.
But now I am not sure. Neither IBC nor cosmos/relayer are using it. It increases complexity (Start/Stop methods).
That said, I think it makes sense to remove it until we see a need for it (until we better understand usage behavior). We can always introduce it later 😅. Maybe in the form of AutoClient.

closes#4469
Improved speed of cleanup by using SignedHeaderAfter instead of TrustedHeader to jump from header to header.
Prune() is now called when a new header and validator set are saved and is a function dealt by the database itself
## Commits:
* prune headers and vals
* modified cleanup and tests
* fixes after my own review
* implement Prune func
* make db ops concurrently safe
* use Iterator in SignedHeaderAfter
we should iterate from height+1, not from the end!
* simplify cleanup

closes: #4455
Verifying backwards checks that the trustedHeader hasn't expired both before and after the loop in case of verifying many headers (a longer operation), but not during the loop itself.
TrustedHeader() no longer checks whether the header saved in the store has expired.
Tests have been updated to reflect the changes
## Commits:
* verify headers backwards out of trust period
* removed expiration check in trusted header func
* modified tests to reflect changes
* wrote new tests for backwards verification
* modified TrustedHeader and TrustedValSet functions
* condensed test functions
* condensed test functions further
* fix build error
* update doc
* add comments
* remove unnecessary declaration
* extract latestHeight check into a separate func

Before we were storing trustedHeader (height=1) and trustedNextVals
(height=2).
After this change, we will be storing trustedHeader (height=1) and
trustedVals (height=1). This a) simplifies the code b) fixes#4399
inconsistent pairing issue c) gives a relayer access to the current
validator set #4470.
The only downside is more jumps during bisection. If validator set
changes between trustedHeader and the next header (by 2/3 or more), the
light client will be forced to download the next header and check that
2/3+ signed the transition. But we don't expect validator set change too
much and too often, so it's an acceptable compromise.
Closes#4470 and #4399
closes#4426

* extract TrustOptions into its own file
* print trusted hash before asking whenever to rollback or not

As opposed to checking a random witness, all witnesses provided should be used as a reference against the header provided by the primary node. This increases security (at the tradeoff of speed) but also gives control to the user. The more witnesses provided, the more secure the lite client can be.
Closes#4328
When TrustedHeader(height) is called, if the height is less than the trusted height but the header is not in the trusted store then a function finds the previous lowest height with a trusted header and performs a forwards sequential verification to the header of the height that was given. If no error is found it updates the trusted store with the header and validator set for that height and can then return them to the user.

* drafted trusted header
* created function to find previous trusted height
* updates missing headers less than the trusted height
* minor cosmetic tweaks
* incorporated suggestions

Closes issue #4338
Uses a wrapper function around both the signedHeader and validatorSet calls to the primary provider which attempts to retrieve the information 5 times before deeming the provider unavailable and replacing the primary provider with the first alternative before trying recursively again (until all alternatives are depleted)
