* pvf-precheck: Integrate PVF pre-checking into paras module Closes #4009 This is the most of the runtime-side change needed for #3211. Here is how it works. The PVF pre-checking can be triggered either by an upgrade or by onboarding (i.e. calling `schedule_para_initialize`). The PVF pre-checking process is identified by the PVF code hash that is being voted on. If there is already PVF pre-checking process running, then no new PVF pre-checking process will be started. Instead, we just subscribe to the existing one. If there is no PVF pre-checking process running but the PVF code hash was already saved in the storage, that necessarily means (I invite the reviewers to double-check this invariant) that the PVF already passed pre-checking. This is equivalent to instant approving of the PVF. The pre-checking process can be concluded either by obtaining a supermajority or if it expires. Each validator checks the list of PVFs available for voting. The vote is binary, i.e. accept or reject a given PVF. As soon as the supermajority of votes are collected for one of the sides of the vote, the voting is concluded in that direction and the effects of the voting are enacted. Only validators from the active set can participate in the vote. The set of active validators can change each session. That's why we reset the votes each session. A voting that observed a certain number of sessions will be rejected. The effects of the PVF accepting depend on the operations requested it: 1. All onboardings subscribed to the approved PVF pre-checking process will get scheduled and after passing 2 session boundaries they will be onboarded. 2. All upgrades subscribed to the approved PVF pre-checking process will get scheduled very similarly to the existing process. Upgrades with pre-checking are really the same process that is just delayed by the time required for pre-checking voting. In case of instant approval the mechanism is exactly the same. This is important from parachains compatibility standpoint since following the delayed upgrade requires the parachain to implement https://github.com/paritytech/cumulus/pull/517. In case, PVF pre-checking process was concluded with rejection, then all the requesting operations get cancelled. For onboarding it means it gets without movement: the lifecycle of such parachain is terminated on the `Onboarding` state and after rejection the lifecycle is none. That in turn means that the caller can attempt registering the parachain once more. For upgrading it means that the upgrade process is aborted: that flashes go-ahead signal with `Abort` flag. Rejection leads to removing the allegedly bad validation code from the chain storage. Among other things, this implies that the operation can be re-requested. That allows for retrying an operation in case there was some bug. At the same time it does not look as a DoS vector due to the caching performed by the nodes. PVF pre-checking can be enabled and disabled. Initially, according to the changes in #4420, this mechanism is disabled. Triggering the PVF pre-checking when it is disabled just means that we insta approve the requesting operation. This should lead to the behavior being unchanged.

Polkadot
Implementation of a https://polkadot.network node in Rust based on the Substrate framework.
NOTE: In 2018, we split our implementation of "Polkadot" from its development framework "Substrate". See the Substrate repo for git history prior to 2018.
This repo contains runtimes for the Polkadot, Kusama, and Westend networks. The README provides
information about installing the polkadot binary and developing on the codebase. For more
specific guides, like how to be a validator, see the
Polkadot Wiki.
Installation
If you just wish to run a Polkadot node without compiling it yourself, you may either run the latest binary from our releases page, or install Polkadot from one of our package repositories.
Installation from the Debian or rpm repositories will create a systemd
service that can be used to run a Polkadot node. This is disabled by default,
and can be started by running systemctl start polkadot on demand (use
systemctl enable polkadot to make it auto-start after reboot). By default, it
will run as the polkadot user. Command-line flags passed to the binary can
be customized by editing /etc/default/polkadot. This file will not be
overwritten on updating polkadot. You may also just run the node directly from
the command-line.
Debian-based (Debian, Ubuntu)
Currently supports Debian 10 (Buster) and Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal), and
derivatives. Run the following commands as the root user.
# Import the security@parity.io GPG key
gpg --recv-keys --keyserver hkps://keys.mailvelope.com 9D4B2B6EB8F97156D19669A9FF0812D491B96798
gpg --export 9D4B2B6EB8F97156D19669A9FF0812D491B96798 > /usr/share/keyrings/parity.gpg
# Add the Parity repository and update the package index
echo 'deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/parity.gpg] https://releases.parity.io/deb release main' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/parity.list
apt update
# Install the `parity-keyring` package - This will ensure the GPG key
# used by APT remains up-to-date
apt install parity-keyring
# Install polkadot
apt install polkadot
RPM-based (Fedora, CentOS)
Currently supports Fedora 32 and CentOS 8, and derivatives.
# Install dnf-plugins-core (This might already be installed)
dnf install dnf-plugins-core
# Add the repository and enable it
dnf config-manager --add-repo https://releases.parity.io/rpm/polkadot.repo
dnf config-manager --set-enabled polkadot
# Install polkadot (You may have to confirm the import of the GPG key, which
# should have the following fingerprint: 9D4B2B6EB8F97156D19669A9FF0812D491B96798)
dnf install polkadot
Building
Install via Cargo
Make sure you have the support software installed from the Build from Source section below this section.
If you want to install Polkadot in your PATH, you can do so with with:
cargo install --git https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot --tag <version> polkadot --locked
Build from Source
If you'd like to build from source, first install Rust. You may need to add Cargo's bin directory to your PATH environment variable. Restarting your computer will do this for you automatically.
curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
If you already have Rust installed, make sure you're using the latest version by running:
rustup update
Once done, finish installing the support software:
sudo apt install build-essential git clang libclang-dev pkg-config libssl-dev
Build the client by cloning this repository and running the following commands from the root directory of the repo:
git checkout <latest tagged release>
./scripts/init.sh
cargo build --release
Note that compilation is a memory intensive process. We recommend having 4 GiB of physical RAM or swap available (keep in mind that if a build hits swap it tends to be very slow).
Build from Source with Docker
You can also build from source using Parity CI docker image:
git checkout <latest tagged release>
docker run --rm -it -w /shellhere/polkadot \
-v $(pwd):/shellhere/polkadot \
paritytech/ci-linux:production cargo build --release
sudo chown -R $(id -u):$(id -g) target/
If you want to reproduce other steps of CI process you can use the following guide.
Networks
This repo supports runtimes for Polkadot, Kusama, and Westend.
Connect to Polkadot Mainnet
Connect to the global Polkadot Mainnet network by running:
./target/release/polkadot --chain=polkadot
You can see your node on telemetry (set a custom name with --name "my custom name").
Connect to the "Kusama" Canary Network
Connect to the global Kusama canary network by running:
./target/release/polkadot --chain=kusama
You can see your node on telemetry (set a custom name with --name "my custom name").
Connect to the Westend Testnet
Connect to the global Westend testnet by running:
./target/release/polkadot --chain=westend
You can see your node on telemetry (set a custom name with --name "my custom name").
Obtaining DOTs
If you want to do anything on Polkadot, Kusama, or Westend, then you'll need to get an account and some DOT, KSM, or WND tokens, respectively. See the claims instructions for Polkadot if you have DOTs to claim. For Westend's WND tokens, see the faucet instructions on the Wiki.
Hacking on Polkadot
If you'd actually like to hack on Polkadot, you can grab the source code and build it. Ensure you have Rust and the support software installed. This script will install or update Rust and install the required dependencies (this may take up to 30 minutes on Mac machines):
curl https://getsubstrate.io -sSf | bash -s -- --fast
Then, grab the Polkadot source code:
git clone https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot.git
cd polkadot
Then build the code. You will need to build in release mode (--release) to start a network. Only
use debug mode for development (faster compile times for development and testing).
./scripts/init.sh # Install WebAssembly. Update Rust
cargo build # Builds all native code
You can run the tests if you like:
cargo test --all
You can start a development chain with:
cargo run -- --dev
Detailed logs may be shown by running the node with the following environment variables set:
RUST_LOG=debug RUST_BACKTRACE=1 cargo run -- --dev
Development
You can run a simple single-node development "network" on your machine by running:
polkadot --dev
You can muck around by heading to https://polkadot.js.org/apps and choose "Local Node" from the Settings menu.
Local Two-node Testnet
If you want to see the multi-node consensus algorithm in action locally, then you can create a local testnet. You'll need two terminals open. In one, run:
polkadot --chain=polkadot-local --alice -d /tmp/alice
And in the other, run:
polkadot --chain=polkadot-local --bob -d /tmp/bob --port 30334 --bootnodes '/ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/30333/p2p/ALICE_BOOTNODE_ID_HERE'
Ensure you replace ALICE_BOOTNODE_ID_HERE with the node ID from the output of the first terminal.
