[RFC#13](https://github.com/polkadot-fellows/RFCs/pull/13), closes
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/198.
-----
This Merge request introduces three major topicals:
1. Multi-Block-Migrations
1. New pallet `poll` hook for periodic service work
1. Replacement hooks for `on_initialize` and `on_finalize` in cases
where `poll` cannot be used
and some more general changes to FRAME.
The changes for each topical span over multiple crates. They are listed
in topical order below.
# 1.) Multi-Block-Migrations
Multi-Block-Migrations are facilitated by creating `pallet_migrations`
and configuring `System::Config::MultiBlockMigrator` to point to it.
Executive picks this up and triggers one step of the migrations pallet
per block.
The chain is in lockdown mode for as long as an MBM is ongoing.
Executive does this by polling `MultiBlockMigrator::ongoing` and not
allowing any transaction in a block, if true.
A MBM is defined through trait `SteppedMigration`. A condensed version
looks like this:
```rust
/// A migration that can proceed in multiple steps.
pub trait SteppedMigration {
type Cursor: FullCodec + MaxEncodedLen;
type Identifier: FullCodec + MaxEncodedLen;
fn id() -> Self::Identifier;
fn max_steps() -> Option<u32>;
fn step(
cursor: Option<Self::Cursor>,
meter: &mut WeightMeter,
) -> Result<Option<Self::Cursor>, SteppedMigrationError>;
}
```
`pallet_migrations` can be configured with an aggregated tuple of these
migrations. It then starts to migrate them one-by-one on the next
runtime upgrade.
Two things are important here:
- 1. Doing another runtime upgrade while MBMs are ongoing is not a good
idea and can lead to messed up state.
- 2. **Pallet Migrations MUST BE CONFIGURED IN `System::Config`,
otherwise it is not used.**
The pallet supports an `UpgradeStatusHandler` that can be used to notify
external logic of upgrade start/finish (for example to pause XCM
dispatch).
Error recovery is very limited in the case that a migration errors or
times out (exceeds its `max_steps`). Currently the runtime dev can
decide in `FailedMigrationHandler::failed` how to handle this. One
follow-up would be to pair this with the `SafeMode` pallet and enact
safe mode when an upgrade fails, to allow governance to rescue the
chain. This is currently not possible, since governance is not
`Mandatory`.
## Runtime API
- `Core`: `initialize_block` now returns `ExtrinsicInclusionMode` to
inform the Block Author whether they can push transactions.
### Integration
Add it to your runtime implementation of `Core` and `BlockBuilder`:
```patch
diff --git a/runtime/src/lib.rs b/runtime/src/lib.rs
@@ impl_runtime_apis! {
impl sp_block_builder::Core<Block> for Runtime {
- fn initialize_block(header: &<Block as BlockT>::Header) {
+ fn initialize_block(header: &<Block as BlockT>::Header) -> RuntimeExecutiveMode {
Executive::initialize_block(header)
}
...
}
```
# 2.) `poll` hook
A new pallet hook is introduced: `poll`. `Poll` is intended to replace
mostly all usage of `on_initialize`.
The reason for this is that any code that can be called from
`on_initialize` cannot be migrated through an MBM. Currently there is no
way to statically check this; the implication is to use `on_initialize`
as rarely as possible.
Failing to do so can result in broken storage invariants.
The implementation of the poll hook depends on the `Runtime API` changes
that are explained above.
# 3.) Hard-Deadline callbacks
Three new callbacks are introduced and configured on `System::Config`:
`PreInherents`, `PostInherents` and `PostTransactions`.
These hooks are meant as replacement for `on_initialize` and
`on_finalize` in cases where the code that runs cannot be moved to
`poll`.
The reason for this is to make the usage of HD-code (hard deadline) more
explicit - again to prevent broken invariants by MBMs.
# 4.) FRAME (general changes)
## `frame_system` pallet
A new memorize storage item `InherentsApplied` is added. It is used by
executive to track whether inherents have already been applied.
Executive and can then execute the MBMs directly between inherents and
transactions.
The `Config` gets five new items:
- `SingleBlockMigrations` this is the new way of configuring migrations
that run in a single block. Previously they were defined as last generic
argument of `Executive`. This shift is brings all central configuration
about migrations closer into view of the developer (migrations that are
configured in `Executive` will still work for now but is deprecated).
- `MultiBlockMigrator` this can be configured to an engine that drives
MBMs. One example would be the `pallet_migrations`. Note that this is
only the engine; the exact MBMs are injected into the engine.
- `PreInherents` a callback that executes after `on_initialize` but
before inherents.
- `PostInherents` a callback that executes after all inherents ran
(including MBMs and `poll`).
- `PostTransactions` in symmetry to `PreInherents`, this one is called
before `on_finalize` but after all transactions.
A sane default is to set all of these to `()`. Example diff suitable for
any chain:
```patch
@@ impl frame_system::Config for Test {
type MaxConsumers = ConstU32<16>;
+ type SingleBlockMigrations = ();
+ type MultiBlockMigrator = ();
+ type PreInherents = ();
+ type PostInherents = ();
+ type PostTransactions = ();
}
```
An overview of how the block execution now looks like is here. The same
graph is also in the rust doc.

* sp-api: Support expanding the macro code
This pr introduces the `expander` crate to expand the generated source code into a file. This gives
better error reporting when trying to fix issues in the macro itself as Rustc will point to the line
in this file. The feature can be enabled by setting `SP_API_EXPAND=1` at compile time.
Besides that the generated code is changed to fix warnings in the exanped version.
* Fixes
* Change copyright year to 2023 from 2022
* Fix incorrect update of copyright year
* Remove years from copy right header
* Fix remaining files
* Fix typo in a header and remove update-copyright.sh
* BlockId removal: refactor of runtime API
It changes the arguments of:
- `ApiExt` methods: `has_api`, `has_api_with`, `api_version`
- `CallApiAt` method: `runtime_version_at`
from: `BlockId<Block>` to: `Block::Hash`
It also changes the first argument of all generated runtime API calls from: `BlockId<Block>` to: `Block::Hash`
This PR is part of BlockId::Number refactoring analysis (paritytech/substrate#11292)
* BlockId removal: refactor of runtime API - tests
- tests adjusted to new runtime API,
- some tests migrated from block number to block hash
* benchmarking-cli: BlockId(0) migrated to info().genesis_hash
`runtime_api.call()` now requires the block hash instead of BlockId::Number.
To access the genesis hash widely used in benchmarking engine the Client
was constrained to satisfy `sp_blockchain::HeaderBackend<Block>` trait
which provides `info().genesis_hash`.
* trivial: api.call(BlockId) -> api.call(Hash)
- Migrated all `runtime_api.calls` to use Hash
- Noteworthy (?):
-- `validate_transaction_blocking` in transaction pool,
* CallApiAtParams::at changed to Block::Hash
* missed doc updated
* Apply suggestions from code review

* ".git/.scripts/commands/fmt/fmt.sh"
* BlockId removal: Benchmark::consumed_weight
Little refactor around `Benchmark::consumed_weight`: `BlockId` removed.
* at_hash renamed
* wrong merge fixed
* beefy worker: merged with master
* beefy: tests: missing block problem fixed
* Apply review suggestion
* fix

* Runtime API versioning
Related to issue #11577
Add support for multiple versions of a Runtime API. The purpose is to
have one main version of the API, which is considered stable and
multiple unstable (aka staging) ones.
How it works
===========
Some methods of the API trait can be tagged with `#[api_version(N)]`
attribute where N is version number bigger than the main one. Let's call
them **staging methods** for brevity.
The implementor of the API decides which version to implement.
Example (from https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/issues/11577#issuecomment-1145347025):
```
decl_runtime_apis! {
#{api_version(10)]
trait Test {
fn something() -> Vec<u8>;
#[api_version(11)]
fn new_cool_function() -> u32;
}
}
```
```
impl_runtime_apis! {
#[api_version(11)]
impl Test for Runtime {
fn something() -> Vec<u8> { vec![1, 2, 3] }
fn new_cool_function() -> u32 {
10
}
}
}
```
Version safety checks (currently not implemented)
=================================================
By default in the API trait all staging methods has got default
implementation calling `unimplemented!()`. This is a problem because if
the developer wants to implement version 11 in the example above and
forgets to add `fn new_cool_function()` in `impl_runtime_apis!` the
runtime will crash when the function is executed.
Ideally a compilation error should be generated in such cases.
TODOs
=====
Things not working well at the moment:
[ ] Version safety check
[ ] Integration tests of `primitives/api` are messed up a bit. More
specifically `primitives/api/test/tests/decl_and_impl.rs`
[ ] Integration test covering the new functionality.
[ ] Some duplicated code

* Improve `mock_impl_runtime_apis!`
This adds a new attribute for functions being implemented in the
`mock_impl_runtime_apis!` macro, the `advanced` attribute. When this

able to return a `Result`, instead of letting the macro generate this
stuff.

* Implements mocking of runtime apis
This pr adds support for easily mock runtime api implementations for
tests by using the `mock_impl_runtime_apis!` macro. The syntax is
similar to `impl_runtime_apis!`. The mocked implementation automatically
implements `ApiExt`, `ApiErrorExt` and `Core` as these are required by
the runtime api traits, but not required in tests or only a subset of them.
