Alin Dima 4842faf65d Elastic scaling: runtime dependency tracking and enactment (#3479)
Changes needed to implement the runtime part of elastic scaling:
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/3131,
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/3132,
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/3202

Also fixes https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/3675

TODOs:

- [x] storage migration
- [x] optimise process_candidates from O(N^2)
- [x] drop backable candidates which form cycles
- [x] fix unit tests
- [x] add more unit tests
- [x] check the runtime APIs which use the pending availability storage.
We need to expose all of them, see
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/3576
- [x] optimise the candidate selection. we're currently picking randomly
until we satisfy the weight limit. we need to be smart about not
breaking candidate chains while being fair to all paras -
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/3573

Relies on the changes made in
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/3233 in terms of the
inclusion policy and the candidate ordering

# Inclusion Pallet
The inclusion module is responsible for inclusion and availability of scheduled parachains. It also manages the UMP
dispatch queue of each parachain.
## Storage
Helper structs:
```rust
struct AvailabilityBitfield {
bitfield: BitVec, // one bit per core.
submitted_at: BlockNumber, // for accounting, as meaning of bits may change over time.
}
struct CandidatePendingAvailability {
core: CoreIndex, // availability core
hash: CandidateHash,
descriptor: CandidateDescriptor,
availability_votes: Bitfield, // one bit per validator.
relay_parent_number: BlockNumber, // number of the relay-parent.
backers: Bitfield, // one bit per validator, set for those who backed the candidate.
backed_in_number: BlockNumber,
backing_group: GroupIndex,
}
```
Storage Layout:
```rust
/// The latest bitfield for each validator, referred to by index.
bitfields: map ValidatorIndex => AvailabilityBitfield;
/// Candidates pending availability.
PendingAvailability: map ParaId => CandidatePendingAvailability;
/// The commitments of candidates pending availability, by ParaId.
PendingAvailabilityCommitments: map ParaId => CandidateCommitments;
```
## Config Dependencies
* `MessageQueue`: The message queue provides general queueing and processing functionality. Currently it replaces the
old `UMP` dispatch queue. Other use-cases can be implemented as well by adding new variants to
`AggregateMessageOrigin`. Normally it should be set to an instance of the `MessageQueue` pallet.
## Session Change
1. Clear out all candidates pending availability.
1. Clear out all validator bitfields.
Optional:
1. The UMP queue of all outgoing paras can be "swept". This would prevent the dispatch queue from automatically being
serviced. It is a consideration for the chain and specific behaviour is not defined.
## Initialization
No initialization routine runs for this module. However, the initialization of the `MessageQueue` pallet will attempt to
process any pending UMP messages.
## Routines
All failed checks should lead to an unrecoverable error making the block invalid.
* `process_bitfields(expected_bits, Bitfields, core_lookup: Fn(CoreIndex) -> Option<ParaId>)`:
1. Call `sanitize_bitfields<true>` and use the sanitized `signed_bitfields` from now on.
1. Call `sanitize_backed_candidates<true>` and use the sanitized `backed_candidates` from now on.
1. Apply each bit of bitfield to the corresponding pending candidate, looking up on-demand parachain cores using the
`core_lookup`. Disregard bitfields that have a `1` bit for any free cores.
1. For each applied bit of each availability-bitfield, set the bit for the validator in the
`CandidatePendingAvailability`'s `availability_votes` bitfield. Track all candidates that now have >2/3 of bits set
in their `availability_votes`. These candidates are now available and can be enacted.
1. For all now-available candidates, invoke the `enact_candidate` routine with the candidate and relay-parent number.
1. Return a list of `(CoreIndex, CandidateHash)` from freed cores consisting of the cores where candidates have become
available.
* `sanitize_bitfields<T: crate::inclusion::Config>( unchecked_bitfields: UncheckedSignedAvailabilityBitfields,
disputed_bitfield: DisputedBitfield, expected_bits: usize, parent_hash: T::Hash, session_index: SessionIndex,
validators: &[ValidatorId], full_check: FullCheck, )`:
1. check that `disputed_bitfield` has the same number of bits as the `expected_bits`, iff not return early with an
empty vec.
1. each of the below checks is for each bitfield. If a check does not pass the bitfield will be skipped.
1. check that there are no bits set that reference a disputed candidate.
1. check that the number of bits is equal to `expected_bits`.
1. check that the validator index is strictly increasing (and thus also unique).
1. check that the validator bit index is not out of bounds.
1. check the validators signature, iff `full_check=FullCheck::Yes`.
* `sanitize_backed_candidates<T: crate::inclusion::Config, F: FnMut(usize, &BackedCandidate<T::Hash>) -> bool>( mut
backed_candidates: Vec<BackedCandidate<T::Hash>>, candidate_has_concluded_invalid_dispute: F, scheduled:
&[CoreAssignment], )`
1. filter out any backed candidates that have concluded invalid.
1. filters backed candidates whom's paraid was scheduled by means of the provided `scheduled` parameter.
1. sorts remaining candidates with respect to the core index assigned to them.
* `process_candidates(allowed_relay_parents, BackedCandidates, scheduled: Vec<CoreAssignment>, group_validators:
Fn(GroupIndex) -> Option<Vec<ValidatorIndex>>)`:
> For details on `AllowedRelayParentsTracker` see documentation for [Shared](./shared.md) module.
1. check that each candidate corresponds to a scheduled core and that they are ordered in the same order the cores
appear in assignments in `scheduled`.
1. check that `scheduled` is sorted ascending by `CoreIndex`, without duplicates.
1. check that the relay-parent from each candidate receipt is one of the allowed relay-parents.
1. check that there is no candidate pending availability for any scheduled `ParaId`.
1. check that each candidate's `validation_data_hash` corresponds to a `PersistedValidationData` computed from the
state of the context block.
1. If the core assignment includes a specific collator, ensure the backed candidate is issued by that collator.
1. Ensure that any code upgrade scheduled by the candidate does not happen within `config.validation_upgrade_cooldown`
of `Paras::last_code_upgrade(para_id, true)`, if any, comparing against the value of `Paras::FutureCodeUpgrades`
for the given para ID.
1. Check the collator's signature on the candidate data.
1. check the backing of the candidate using the signatures and the bitfields, comparing against the validators
assigned to the groups, fetched with the `group_validators` lookup, while group indices are computed by `Scheduler`
according to group rotation info.
1. call `check_upward_messages(config, para, commitments.upward_messages)` to check that the upward messages are
valid.
1. call `Dmp::check_processed_downward_messages(para, commitments.processed_downward_messages)` to check that the DMQ
is properly drained.
1. call `Hrmp::check_hrmp_watermark(para, commitments.hrmp_watermark)` for each candidate to check rules of processing
the HRMP watermark.
1. using `Hrmp::check_outbound_hrmp(sender, commitments.horizontal_messages)` ensure that the each candidate sent a
valid set of horizontal messages
1. create an entry in the `PendingAvailability` map for each backed candidate with a blank `availability_votes`
bitfield.
1. create a corresponding entry in the `PendingAvailabilityCommitments` with the commitments.
1. Return a `Vec<CoreIndex>` of all scheduled cores of the list of passed assignments that a candidate was
successfully backed for, sorted ascending by CoreIndex.
* `enact_candidate(relay_parent_number: BlockNumber, CommittedCandidateReceipt)`:
1. If the receipt contains a code upgrade, Call `Paras::schedule_code_upgrade(para_id, code, relay_parent_number,
config)`.
> TODO: Note that this is safe as long as we never enact candidates where the relay parent is across a session
> boundary. In that case, which we should be careful to avoid with contextual execution, the configuration might
> have changed and the para may de-sync from the host's understanding of it.
1. Reward all backing validators of each candidate, contained within the `backers` field.
1. call `receive_upward_messages` for each backed candidate, using the
[`UpwardMessage`s](../types/messages.md#upward-message) from the
[`CandidateCommitments`](../types/candidate.md#candidate-commitments).
1. call `Dmp::prune_dmq` with the para id of the candidate and the candidate's `processed_downward_messages`.
1. call `Hrmp::prune_hrmp` with the para id of the candidate and the candidate's `hrmp_watermark`.
1. call `Hrmp::queue_outbound_hrmp` with the para id of the candidate and the list of horizontal messages taken from
the commitment,
1. Call `Paras::note_new_head` using the `HeadData` from the receipt and `relay_parent_number`.
* `collect_pending`:
```rust
fn collect_pending(f: impl Fn(CoreIndex, BlockNumber) -> bool) -> Vec<CoreIndex> {
// sweep through all paras pending availability. if the predicate returns true, when given the core index and
// the block number the candidate has been pending availability since, then clean up the corresponding storage for that candidate and the commitments.
// return a vector of cleaned-up core IDs.
}
```
* `force_enact(ParaId)`: Forcibly enact the pending candidates of the given paraid as though they had been deemed
available by bitfields. Is a no-op if there is no candidate pending availability for this para-id.
If there are multiple candidates pending availability for this para-id, it will enact all of
them. This should generally not be used but it is useful during execution of Runtime APIs,
where the changes to the state are expected to be discarded directly after.
* `candidate_pending_availability(ParaId) -> Option<CommittedCandidateReceipt>`: returns the `CommittedCandidateReceipt`
pending availability for the para provided, if any.
* `pending_availability(ParaId) -> Option<CandidatePendingAvailability>`: returns the metadata around the candidate
pending availability for the para, if any.
* `free_disputed(disputed: Vec<CandidateHash>) -> Vec<CoreIndex>`: Sweeps through all paras pending availability. If
the candidate hash is one of the disputed candidates, then clean up the corresponding storage for that candidate and
the commitments. Return a vector of cleaned-up core IDs.
These functions were formerly part of the UMP pallet:
* `check_upward_messages(P: ParaId, Vec<UpwardMessage>)`:
1. Checks that the parachain is not currently offboarding and error otherwise.
1. Checks that there are at most `config.max_upward_message_num_per_candidate` messages to be enqueued.
1. Checks that no message exceeds `config.max_upward_message_size`.
1. Checks that the total resulting queue size would not exceed `co`.
1. Verify that queuing up the messages could not result in exceeding the queue's footprint according to the config
items `config.max_upward_queue_count` and `config.max_upward_queue_size`. The queue's current footprint is provided
in `well_known_keys` in order to facilitate oraclisation on to the para.
Candidate Enactment:
* `receive_upward_messages(P: ParaId, Vec<UpwardMessage>)`:
1. Process each upward message `M` in order:
1. Place in the dispatch queue according to its para ID (or handle it immediately).
