eth_call and debug_traceCall allow users to override various block fields, among them base fee. However the overriden base fee was not considered for computing the effective gas price of that message, and instead base fee of the base block was used. This has been fixed in this commit.
We backported branch `extended-tracer` at commit 3078dfe80b back to v1.13.5 of Geth.
To achieve the backport, we did:
- git checkout -b extended-tracer-squashed
- git reset --hard 3078dfe80b
- git reset --mixed fc380f52ef # This was the latest merged commit not from `extended-tracer` branch
- git commit -A -m "<This message>"
- git checkout v1.13.5
- git checkout -b extended-tracer-backport-v1.13.5
- git cherry-pick extended-tracer-squashed
We removed the `precompile` check on `OnNewAccount` and moved it to the Firehose tracer directly. This way, we can remove our custom logic that toggle the check at the tracing code level and we can instead move the logic of backward compatibility back `FirehoseTracer`.
Refactored a bit also how precompiles are check. We moved the precompiles checker up to the block level now that `chainConfig` is available on `OnBlockStart` meaning we can extract the list of active precompiles. However, to make it work, we had to modify `OnGenesisBlock` to also receive `chainConfig` parameter, I've ask to add it to the geth codebase directly.
This change makes use of uin256 to represent balance in state. It touches primarily upon statedb, stateobject and state processing, trying to avoid changes in transaction pools, core types, rpc and tracers.
This change simplifies the logic for indexing transactions and enhances the UX when transaction is not found by returning more information to users.
Transaction indexing is now considered as a part of the initial sync, and `eth.syncing` will thus be `true` if transaction indexing is not yet finished. API consumers can use the syncing status to determine if the node is ready to serve users.
In the tracing tests, the base fee was generally set to nil. This commit changes this to pass the proper base instead, and fixes the few tests which become broken by the change.
This change fixes two type-inconsistencies in the JS tracer:
- In most places we return byte arrays as a `Uint8Array` to the tracer. However it seems we missed doing the conversion for `ctx` fields which are passed to the tracer during `result`. They are passed as simple arrays. I think Uint8Arrays are more suitable and we should change this inconsistency. Note: this will be a breaking-change. But I believe the effect is small. If we look at our tracers we see that these fields (`ctx.from`, `ctx.to`, etc.) are used in 2 ways. Passed to `toHex` which takes both array or buffer. Or the length was measured which is the same for both types.
- The `slice` taking in `int, int` params versus `memory.slice` taking `int64, int64` params. I suggest changing `slice` types to `int64`. This should have no effect almost in any case.
Currently, one can use the "withLogs" parameter to include logs in the
callTracer results, which allows the user to see at which trace level
was each log emitted.
This commit adds a position field to the logs which determine
the exact ordering of a call's logs and its subcalls. This would
be useful e.g. for explorers wishing to display the flow of execution.

The genesis flush do set the logger, but we receive the genesis block allocs via `OnGenesisBlock` meaning it's not necessary to have the logger in the flush.
This way, we avoid having a `cost` that is negative which does not make sense for a `uint64`. Having the `old, new` also yields correct value and the delta can then be negative and be holded in a `int64`.

With this change, the full gas loop of a transaction can be tracked going from initial balance (`gasLimit`) back down to 0.
I validated on my regression test suite that those conditions applied to all transactions I have:
- First `OnGasConsumed` is always going from 0 -> `trx.gasLimit`
- Last `OnGasConsumed` "new value" is always 0
- trx.gasLimit - last balance of last `OnGasConsumed` is equal to `trx.gasUsed`
The addition of `reason` make it possible for a logger to filter out unwanted signal, for example one could want to drop all OpCode related gas change and only cares about "transaction" level. The reason is also a good thing for visibility and for creating powerful debug tools for Ethereum transaction execution.
Also, I would like that we change the `OnGasConsumed` logic from `OnGasConsumed(actual, cost uint64, reason)` to `OnGasConsumed(old, new uint64, reason)`. With the new tracing I've done, we now have negative `cost` that needs to be passed around but the `cost` is `uint64` so it creates overflow. Everything works fine if you record the new/old value `gas-cost` as the final value goes back to a valid range. But it's weird for consumer that would log `cost` that it's `18127127187219...`. An alternative would be to accept a `int64` for the cost which is also valid, not full coverage theorically but I don't see why an operation would cost more than i64 max value. Maybe it make more sense than to have signature `OnGasConsumed(gas uint64, cost int64, reason)`, I'm fine with it also, I leave the decision to you.
The Go authors updated golang/x/ext to change the function signature of the slices sort method.
It's an entire shitshow now because x/ext is not tagged, so everyone's codebase just
picked a new version that some other dep depends on, causing our code to fail building.
This PR updates the dep on our code too and does all the refactorings to follow upstream...
