Removed the arbitrary precision VM in favour of the optimised JIT VM.
This enables the new VM for all calls and creates and removed the need
for the --jitvm and --forcejit flags.
This fixes a minor issue when the jit is used in a multithreaded
environment it would ignore the complitation status of the JIT and
default to the byte-code VM. Instead it now waits for the compilation to
finish and run the JIT if the execution was successful.
This changes the internals of the EVM-JIT by dropping support for
blocks (and therefor also transactions) that can exceed a 64^2-1
gas-limit. This means that the EVM-JIT can drop support for abritrary
precision (*big.Int) and move to 64bit based gas calculations.
For obvious reasons integer overflows have added to make sure that
gas calculations such as gas for memory doesn't overflow 64bit. If the
overflow check fails it throws an out-of-gas error and will halt the
execution of the code.
This CL makes several refactors:
- Define a Tracer interface, implementing the `CaptureState` method
- Add the VM environment as the first argument of
`Tracer.CaptureState`
- Rename existing functionality `StructLogger` an make it an
implementation of `Tracer`
- Delete `StructLogCollector` and make `StructLogger` collect the logs
directly
- Change all callers to use the new `StructLogger` where necessary and
extract logs from that.
- Deletes the apparently obsolete and likely nonfunctional 'TraceCall'
from the eth API.
Callers that only wish accumulated logs can use the `StructLogger`
implementation straightforwardly. Callers that wish to efficiently
capture VM traces and operate on them without excessive copying can now
implement the `Tracer` interface to receive VM state at each step and
do with it as they wish.
This CL also removes the accumulation of logs from the vm.Environment;
this was necessary as part of the refactor, but also simplifies it by
removing a responsibility that doesn't directly belong to the
Environment.
* change gas cost for contract creating txs
* invalidate signature with s value greater than secp256k1 N / 2
* OOG contract creation if not enough gas to store code
* new difficulty adjustment algorithm
* new DELEGATECALL op code
* Moved `vm.Transfer` to `core` package and changed execution to call
`env.Transfer` instead of `core.Transfer` directly.
* core/vm: byte code VM moved to jump table instead of switch
* Moved `vm.Transfer` to `core` package and changed execution to call
`env.Transfer` instead of `core.Transfer` directly.
* Byte code VM now shares the same code as the JITVM
* Renamed Context to Contract
* Changed initialiser of state transition & unexported methods
* Removed the Execution object and refactor `Call`, `CallCode` &
`Create` in to their own functions instead of being methods.
* Removed the hard dep on the state for the VM. The VM now
depends on a Database interface returned by the environment. In the
process the core now depends less on the statedb by usage of the env
* Moved `Log` from package `core/state` to package `core/vm`.
* Add params package with exported variables generated from
github.com/ethereum/common/blob/master/params.json
* Use params package variables in applicable places
* Add check for minimum gas limit in validation of block's gas limit
* Remove common/params.json from go-ethereum to avoid
outdated version of it
