We're likely to have something comparable to the current changeset in the
subsequent one. If it's bigger, no big deal, it'll be reallocated, if it's
smaller, no big deal, the next one will be preallocated smaller.
It's very effective in avoiding allocations for big.Int, we don't have a
microbenchmark for memppol, but this improves TPS metrics by ~1-2%, so it's
noticeable.
Problem: transactions with wrong hashes are accepted to the chain if
consensus nodes are designated as Oracle nodes. The result is wrong
MerkleRoot for the accepted block. Consensus nodes got such blocks
right from the dbft and store them without errors, but if
non-consensus nodes are present in the network, they just can't accept
these "bad" blocks:
```
2021-11-29T12:56:40.533+0300 WARN blockQueue: failed adding block into the blockchain {"error": "invalid block: MerkleRoot mismatch (expected a866b57ad637934f7a7700e3635a549387e644970b42681d865a54c3b3a46122, calculated d465aafabaf4539a3f619d373d178eeeeab7acb9847e746e398706c8c1582bf8)", "blockHeight": 17, "nextIndex": 18}

This problem happens because of transaction hash caching. We can't set
transaction hash if transaction construction wasn't yet completed.

Solution:
Release the resources occupied by the DB.
We use 2 prefixes for storing items because of state synchronization.
This commit allows to parametrize dao with the default prefix.

b9be892bf9 has made Persist asynchronous which
is very effective in allowing the system to continue processing
blocks/transactions while flushing things to disk. It at the same time is very
dangerous in that if the disk is slow and it takes much time to flush KV set
(more than persisting interval), there might be even bigger new KV set in
MemCachedStore by the time it finishes. Even if the system immediately starts
to flush this new data set it (being bigger) can take more time than the
previous one. And while doing so a new data set will appear in memory,
potentially again bigger than this.
So we can easily end up with the system going out of control, consuming more
and more memory and taking more and more time to persist a single set of
data. To avoid this we need to detect such condition and just wait for Persist
to really finish its job and release the resources.
Everywhere it matters (and that's callExFromNative() now) it's incremented
already, so when we're doing Call() at the same time (and it's done to invoke
`_initialize` method) we're effectively double-incrementing it.
Standards are NEP-11 and NEP-17, not NEP11, not NEP17, not anything
else. Variable/function names of course can use whatever fits, but documents
and comments should be consistent wrt this.
Oracle responses must use the same set of signers as oracle requests even
though the transaction itself is signed by oracle nodes/contract.
We can probably improve interop.Context by removing Tx field completely and
adding more functionality to Container, but it's not very convenient for
VerifyWitness and will require adding more stub-like methods for Block, so Tx
is used for now (and we do have it in every relevant case).
I don't think it's possible with regular service functioning, but it happens
during testing because of pointer reuse:

Use circular buffer which is a bit more appropriate. The problem is that
priority queue accepts and stores equal items which wastes memory even in
normal usage scenario, but it's especially dangerous if the node is stuck for
some reason. In this case it'll accept from peers and put into queue the same
blocks again and again leaking memory up to OOM condition.
Notice that queue length calculation might be wrong in case circular buffer
wraps, but it's not very likely to happen (usually blocks not coming from the
queue are added by consensus and it's not very fast in doing so).
Notes for witnesses:
* [N sig + M multisig + K contract] combination is possible where N, M, K >=0.
* Each verification script should be properly filled in.
* Each invocation script should either be empty or contain exactly one
signature.
Real persistent storage guarantees that result of Seek is sorted
by keys. The idea of optimisation is to merge two sorted seek
results into one (memStore+persistentStore), so that
(*MemCachedStore).Seek will return sorted list. The only thing
that remains is to sort items got from (*MemoryStore).Seek.
MemoryStore is used in a MemCachedStore as a persistent layer in tests.
Further commits suppose that persistent storage returns sorted values
from Seek, so sort the result of MemoryStore.Seek.

(*Billet).Traverse changes:
1. Get rid of the `offset` argument. We can cut `from` and pass just the
part that remains. This implies that node with path matching `from` will
also be included in the result, so additional check needs to be added to
the callback function.
2. Pass `path` and `from` without search prefix. Append prefix to the
result inside the callback.
3. Remove duplicating code.
(*Trie).Find changes:
1. Properly prepare `from` argument for traversing function. It closly
depends on the `path` argument.
Instead of flushing everything to `cache` and then to `bc.dao`, wrap `bc.dao`
directly for block/tx data and AERs and then flush to it. Block/transactions
are usually processed more quickly than other components, so they easily end
up in `cache` where they directly affect Seek performance for any executing
transaction.
Simple as it is this change improves voter NEO transfer benchmark with 1000
accounts by more than 25%, from ~18500 TPS to ~23500 TPS. It doesn't affect
much other cases.
GAS can only be distributed once in a block for particular address, so it
makes little sense trying to calculate it again and again. This fixes
neo-bench for NEO voter, because without it we get ~2500 TPS for
single-address test and with it it jumps 13-fold to normal values like
~33500.
We need to store NEO balance's LastUpdateHeight before GAS mint,
because mint can call onNEP17Payment and onNEP17Payment can call NEO
transfer which also calls GAS mint. Storing balance height allows to
avoid recursion.
We need to copy the result of `TryGet` method, otherwice the slice can
be modified inside `Add` or `Update` methods, which leads to
inconsistent MPT pool state.
We need several stages to manage state jump process in order not to mess
up old and new contract storage items and to be sure about genesis state data
are properly removed from the storage. Other operations do not require
separate stage and can be performed each time `jumpToStateInternal` is
called.
We don't need this method to be exposed, the only its user is the
StateSync module. At the same time StateSync module manages its state by
itself which guarantees that (*Blockchain).jumpToState will be called
with proper StateSync stage.
State jump should be an atomic operation, we can't modify contract
storage items state on-the-fly. Thus, store fresh items under temp
prefix and replase the outdated ones after state sync is completed.

https://github.com/nspcc-dev/neo-go/pull/2019#discussion_r693350460.
Before state sync process can be started, outdated MPT nodes
should be removed from storage. After state sync is completed,
outdated blocks/transactions/AERs should also be removed.
In this commit:
1. Request unknown MPT nodes from peers. Note, that StateSync module itself
shouldn't be responsible for nodes requests, that's a server duty.
2. Do not request the same node twice, check if it is in storage
already. If so, then the only thing remaining is to update refcounter.
MPT restore process is much simpler then regular MPT maintaining: trie
has a fixed structure, we don't need to remove or rebuild MPT nodes. The
only thing we should do is to replace Hash nodes to their unhashed
counterparts and increment refcount. It's better not to touch the
regular MPT code and create a separate structure for this.
C# node does not return empty proof enymore in case if path is bad. C#
node also throws an exception on bad Put.
Our node does not return an error on delete if the key is empty.
Allow it for (*Trie).Put. And distinguish empty value and nil value for
(*Trie).PutBatch, because batch is already capable of handling both nil
and empty value. For (*Trie).PutBatch putting nil value means deletion,
while putting empty value means just putting LeafNode with an empty
value.
Functions are usually immediately replaced (and it's OK for them to be nil,
searching through an array with length of zero is fine), Notifications are
usually appended to (and are absolutely useless in verification contexts).
* both 'to' and 'from' are either Null or Hash160, there is no other
possibility for valid NEP-17. So returning util.Uint160{} in case of
parsing error is wrong.
* but this is what allowed burns/mints to work at the expense of error
allocation inside of util.Uint160DecodeBytesBE()
* Uint160 can technically fit into regular VM integer, so even though it'd be
quite surprising to see it there, TryBytes() is more correct (and easier!)
to use
* same thing with `amount`, we have `TryInteger()` that easily covers all
possible cases and does appropriate error checking inside
Squash (*DAO).StoreAsTransaction and
(*DAO).StoreConflictingTransactions. It's better to keep them this way,
because StoreAsTransaction is always followed by
StoreConflictingTransactions, so it's an atomic operation.
The logic wasn't changed.
We're using batches in wrong way during persist, we already have all changes
accumulated in two maps and then we move them to batch and then this is
applied. For some DBs like BoltDB this batch is just another MemoryStore, so
we essentially just shuffle the changeset from one map to another, for others
like LevelDB batch is just a serialized set of KV pairs, it doesn't help much
on subsequent PutBatch, we just duplicate the changeset again.
So introduce PutChangeSet that allows to take two maps with sets and deletes
directly. It also allows to simplify MemCachedStore logic.

ReadArray() can return some error and we shouldn't overwrite it. At the same
time limiting ReadArray() to the number of Signers can make it return wrong
error if the number of witnesses actually is bigger than the number of
signers, so use MaxAttributes.
We burn GAS in OnPersist for every transaction so some buffer reuse here is
quite natural.
This also doesn't change a lot in the overall TPS picture, maybe adding some
1%.
Which duplicates the check, but deduplicates error path. This check forced
double balance deserialization which is quite costly operation, so we better
do it once.
It's hardly noticeable as of TPS metrics though, maybe some 1-2%%.
Persist by its definition doesn't change MemCachedStore visible state, all KV
pairs that were acessible via it before Persist remain accessible after
Persist. The only thing it does is flushing of the current set of KV pairs
from memory to peristent store. To do that it needs read-only access to the
current KV pair set, but technically it then replaces maps, so we have to use
full write lock which makes MemCachedStore inaccessible for the duration of
Persist. And Persist can take a lot of time, it's about disk access for
regular DBs.
What we do here is we create new in-memory maps for MemCachedStore before
flushing old ones to the persistent store. Then a fake persistent store is
created which actually is a MemCachedStore with old maps, so it has exactly
the same visible state. This Store is never accessed for writes, so we can
read it without taking any internal locks and at the same time we no longer
need write locks for original MemCachedStore, we're not using it. All of this
makes it possible to use MemCachedStore as normally reads are handled going
down to whatever level is needed and writes are handled by new maps. So while
Persist for (*Blockchain).dao does its most time-consuming work we can process
other blocks (reading data for transactions and persisting storeBlock caches
to (*Blockchain).dao).
The change was tested for performance with neo-bench (single node, 10 workers,
LevelDB) on two machines and block dump processing (RC4 testnet up to 62800
with VerifyBlocks set to false) on i7-8565U.

It obviously uses more memory now and utilizes CPU more aggressively, but at
the same time it allows to improve all relevant metrics and finally reach a
situation where we process 50K transactions in less than second on Ryzen 9
5950X (going higher than 25K TPS). The other observation is much more stable
block time, on Ryzen 9 it's as close to 1 second as it could be.
Block processing consists of:
* saving block/transactions to the DB
* executing blocks/transactions
* processing notifications/saving AERs
* updating MPT
* atomically updating Blockchain state
Of these the first one is completely independent of others, it can be done in
a separate routine easily. The third one technically depends on the second,
it just doesn't have data until something is executed. At the same time it
doesn't affect future executions in any way, so we can offload
AER/notification processing to separate goroutine (while the main thread
proceeds with other transactions).
MPT update depends on all executions, so it can't be offloaded, but it can be
done concurrently to AER processing. And only the last thing actually needs
all previous ones to be finished, so it's a natural synchronization point.
So we spawn two additional routines and let the main one execute transactions
and update MPT as fast as it can. While technically all of these routines
could share single DAO (they are working with different KV sets) benchmarking
shows that using separate DAOs and then persisting them to lower one actually
works about 7-8%% better. At the same time we can simplify DAOs used, Cached
one is only relevant for AER processing because it caches NEP-17 tracking
data, everything else can do just fine with Simple.

On Ryzen 9 we've got 12% better RPS, 13% better TPS with 12% CPU and 3% RAM
more used. Core i7-8565U changes don't seem to be statistically significant:
1.8% more RPS, 1.6% more TPS with about the same CPU and 8.5% less RAM
used. It also is 1% worse in DB restore time.
The result is somewhat expected, on a powerful machine with lots of spare
cores we get 10%+ better results while on average resource-constrained laptop it
doesn't change much (the machine is already saturated). Overall, this seems to
be worthwhile.
Request NEP17 balances from a set of NEP17 contracts instead of getting
them from storage. LastUpdatedBlock tracking remains untouched, because
there's no way to retrieve it dynamically.
Balances are to be removed from state.NEP17TransferInfo, so the remnant
fields are NextTransferBatch, NewBatch and a map of LastUpdatedBlocks.
These fields are more staff-related.
Also rename dao.[Get, Put, put]NEP17Balances and STNEP17Balances
preffix.
Also rename NEP17TransferInfo.Trackers to LastUpdatedBlockTrackers
because NEP17TransferInfo.Balances are to be removed.
Everything was wrong here, wrong file used, wrong cleanup procedure, the net
result is this (and some failing tests from time to time):
$ ls -l /tmp/test_bolt_db* | wc -l

If an oracle node is resynchronized from the genesis the service receives all
requests from all blocks via AddRequests() invoked from the native
contract. Almost all of them are long obsolete and need to be removed, native
oracle contract will try to do that with RemoveRequests() calls, but they
won't change anything.
So queue up all "initial" requests in special map and manage it directly
before the module is Run() which happens after synchronization
completion. Then process any requests that are still active and work with new
blocks as usual.
Turns out C# VM doesn't have it since preview2, so our limiting of
MaxArraySize in incompatible with it. Removing this limit shouldn't be a
problem with the reference counter we have, both APPEND and SETITEM add things
to reference counter and we can't exceed MaxStackSize. PACK on the other hand
can't get more than MaxStackSize-1 of input elements.
Unify NEWSTRUCT with NEWARRAY* and use better integer checks at the same time.
Multisig limit is still 1024.
We have a lot of native contract types that are converted to stack items
before serialization, then deserialized as stack items and converted back to
regular structures. stackitem.Convertible allows to remove a lot of repetitive
io.Serializable code.
This also introduces to/from converter in testserdes which unfortunately
required to change util tests to avoid circular references.
