Sasha Gryaznov a4dde28607 Add new gas metering method: mutable global + local gas function (#34)
* fix misprints in doc comments

* added global gas tracker variable and local gas fn

* all exported functions of the module to accept a new param and to set the gas_left global to its value at their very start

* make module support both gas metering methods

* tests fixed for the old metering method

* better naming

* MutableGlobal metering method implemented, tests for the old method pass

* gas_metering::tests updated and pass

* all tests udpdated and pass

* emacs backup files to .gitignore

* docs updated

* clippy fix

* iff = if and only if

* more clippy

* docs misprints fixes

* refactored to have Backend trait and two implementations in separate sub-modules

* docs updated

* fixed old benches (updating them is coming next)

* added bench for an instrumented wasm-coremark

* updated benches: added them for both gas_metering instrumentations

* benches contest first ver

* added debug prints to the bench

* refactored to better fit frontend-backend pattern

* docs update

* updated benches

* design updated on feedback

* re-structured sub-modules

re-structured sub-modules & updated docs

* docs improved

* addressed latest feedback comments

* re-writed the local gas function

* coremark benches show ~20% performance improvement

* fix ci: test + clippy

* save before re-factoring prepare_in_wasm()

* bare_call_16 shows 16% worse perf

* + fibonacci recursive bench

* refactored benchmarks

* + factorial recursive bench

* benches on wasmi fixtures show no perf improvement, coremark runs ~20% faster being instrumented with mutable_global gas metering

* charge gas for local gas func isntructions execution

* replaced benchmark which requires multi_value feature

* save: optimized gas func a bit (benches work, fixture tests fail)

* 1033% overhead on many_blocks.wasm when mut_global gas_metering together with stack_height

* size overhead test for both gas metering methods + stack limiter

* added more benches

* improved print_size_overhead test

* test for comparing size overheads of two gas_metering injectors

* before optimization: benches + size overhead

* optimization try-1: inline part of gas func instructions: +benches +size overheads

* optimization try-2: inline hot path of gas fn:  +benches +size overheads

* opt try-3: count for gas fn cost on the caller side: +benches +size overhead

* revert to initial version but with static gas fn cost on the caller side: +benches +sizes

* tests fixed

* use newest wasmi 0.20: +benches +docs updated

* use if-else block instead of Return: +benches

* fix tests

* clippy fix

* addressed review comments

* Update changelog

Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

The semantic versioning guarantees cover the interface to the substrate runtime which includes this pallet as a dependency. This module will also add storage migrations whenever changes require it. Stability with regard to offchain tooling is explicitly excluded from this guarantee: For example adding a new field to an in-storage data structure will require changes to frontends to properly display it. However, those changes will still be regarded as a minor version bump.

The interface provided to smart contracts will adhere to semver with one exception: Even major version bumps will be backwards compatible with regard to already deployed contracts. In other words: Upgrading this pallet will not break pre-existing contracts.
