      `sc-block-builder`: Remove `BlockBuilderProvider` (#2099) · ca5f1056
      Bastian Köcher authored 
      The `BlockBuilderProvider` was a trait that was defined in
`sc-block-builder`. The trait was implemented for `Client`. This
basically meant that you needed to import `sc-block-builder` any way to
have access to the block builder. So, this trait was not providing any
real value. This pull request is removing the said trait. Instead of the
trait it introduces a builder for creating a `BlockBuilder`. The builder
currently has the quite fabulous name `BlockBuilderBuilder` (I'm open to
any better name 😅

). The rest of the pull request is about
replacing the old trait with the new builder.

# Downstream code changes

If you used `new_block` or `new_block_at` before you now need to switch
it over to the new `BlockBuilderBuilder` pattern:

```rust
// `new` requires a type that implements `CallApiAt`. 
let mut block_builder = BlockBuilderBuilder::new(client)
                // Then you need to specify the hash of the parent block the block will be build on top of
		.on_parent_block(at)
                // The block builder also needs the block number of the parent block. 
                // Here it is fetched from the given `client` using the `HeaderBackend`
                // However, there also exists `with_parent_block_number` for directly passing the number
		.fetch_parent_block_number(client)
		.unwrap()
                // Enable proof recording if required. This call is optional.
		.enable_proof_recording()
                // Pass the digests. This call is optional.
                .with_inherent_digests(digests)
		.build()
		.expect("Creates new block builder");
```

      substrate: sysinfo: Expose failed hardware requirements (#2144) · dca14239
      Alexandru Gheorghe authored 
      

The check_hardware functions does not give us too much information as to
what is failing, so let's return the list of failed metrics, so that callers can print 
it.

This would make debugging easier, rather than try to guess which
dimension is actually failing.

      make polkadot die graciously (#2056) · 3069b0af
      Alexandru Gheorghe authored 
      

While investigating some db migrations that make the node startup fail,
I noticed that the node wasn't exiting and that the log file were
growing exponentially, until my whole system was freezing and that makes
it really hard to actually find why it was failing in the first place.

E.g:
```
 ls -lh /tmp/zombie-01a04c2a2c0265d85f6440cf01c0f44a_-51319-uyggzuD4wEpV/bob.log
 32,6G oct 27 11:16 /tmp/zombie-01a04c2a2c0265d85f6440cf01c0f44a_-51319-uyggzuD4wEpV/bob.log
```

This was happening because the following errors were being printed
continously without the subsystem main loop exiting:

From dispute-coordinator:
```
WARN tokio-runtime-worker parachain::dispute-coordinator: error=Subsystem(Generated(Context("Signal channel is terminated and empty.")))
```

From availability recovery:
```
Erasure task channel closed. Node shutting down ?
```

      Do not force collators to update after enabling async backing (#1920) · b967ba53
      Bastian Köcher authored 
      The validators are checking if async backing is enabled by checking the
version of the runtime api. If the runtime api is upgraded by a runtime
upgrade, the validators start to also enable the async backing logic.
However, just because async backing is enabled, it doesn't mean that all
collators and parachain runtimes have upgraded. This pull request fixes
an issue about advertising collations to the relay chain when it has
async backing enabled, but the collator is still using the old
networking protocol. The implementation is actually backwards compatible
as we can not expect that everyone directly upgrades. However, the
collation advertisement logic was requiring V2 networking messages after
async backing was enabled, which was wrong. This is now fixed by this
pull request.

Closes: https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/1923

      Discard `Executor` (#1855) · 9f7656df
      Julian Eager authored 
      

closes #622 

Pros:
* simpler interface, just functions:
`create_runtime_from_artifact_bytes()` and `execute_artifact()`

Cons:
* extra overhead of constructing executor semantics each time

I could make it a combination of
* `create_runtime_config(params)` (such that we could clone the
constructed semantics)
* `create_runtime(blob, config)`
* `execute_artifact(blob, config, params)`

Not sure if it's worth it though.

      # Description
Update the DNS name of bootnodes to unify the deployment. 

Each bootnode have 3 port exposed: `30333, 30334, 443`. Before, we had
different DNS names for `30333, 30334` and `443` ports. It may confuse
people and give the impression that it is two different nodes. Fixing it

      Remove kusama and polkadot runtime crates (#1731) · bf90cb0b
      Bastian Köcher authored 
      This pull request is removing the Kusama and Polkadot runtime crates. As
still some crates dependent on the runtime crates, this pull request is
doing some more changes.

- It removes the `hostperfcheck` CLI command. This CLI command could
compare the current node against the standard hardware by doing some
checks. Later we added the hardware benchmark feature to Substrate. This
hardware benchmark is running on every node startup and prints a warning
if the current node is too slow. This makes this CLI command a duplicate
that was also depending on the kusama runtime.

- The pull request is removing the emulated integration tests that were
requiring the Kusama or Polkadot runtime crates.

      rococo-runtime: `RococoGenesisExt` removed (#1490) · 50242a61
      Michal Kucharczyk authored 
      [`RococoGenesisExt`](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/blob/a414ea7515c9cdc81f1d12410e646afc148250e8/polkadot/node/service/src/chain_spec.rs#L152-L171

)
is removed. It was the hack to allow overwriting
`EpochDurationInBlocks`. Removal of `RococGenesisExt` prevents from
manipulating the state to change the runtime constants.

Changes:
- Environment variable which controls the `time::EpochDurationInBlocks`
value was added: `ROCOCO_EPOCH_DURATION` (epoch duration will be set to
the value of env),
- `10,100,600` versions of rococo-runtime are built in CI and put into `polkadot-debug` docker image.

`rococo-runtime` building examples:
- to build runtime for `versi_staging_testnet` which had
EpochDurationInBlocks set to 100:
  ```
ROCOCO_EPOCH_DURATION=100 cargo build --features=fast-runtime -p
rococo-runtime
  ```
- to build runtime for `wococo_development`
  ```
ROCOCO_EPOCH_DURATION=10 cargo build --features=fast-runtime -p
rococo-runtime
  ```
- to build `versi-staging` chain spec:
  ```
ROCOCO_EPOCH_DURATION=100 cargo run -p polkadot --features=fast-runtime
-- build-spec --chain versi-staging --raw
  ```
- to build `wococo-dev` chain spec:
  ```
ROCOCO_EPOCH_DURATION=10 cargo run -p polkadot --features=fast-runtime
-- build-spec --chain wococo-dev --raw
  ```

It is also possible to change the epoch duration by replacing the `code` field in the chain spec with the hex dump of pre-built runtime wasm blob (because the epoch duration is hard-coded into wasm blob).

      Remove Polkadot & Kusama native runtime (#1304) · 6079b6dd
      Bastian Köcher authored 
      This pull request removes the Polkadot and Kusama native runtime from
the polkadot node. This brings some implications with it:

There are no more kusama/polkadot-dev chain specs available. We will
need to write some tooling in the fellowship repo to provide them
easily.

The try-runtime job for polkadot & kusama is not available anymore as we
don't have the dev chain specs anymore.

Certain benchmarking commands will also not work until we migrate them
to use a runtime api.

Some crates in utils are still depending on the polkadot/kusama native
runtime that will also need to be fixed.

      Futures channels that are used by default has a side effect of
`Sender::Clone` that efficiently increases the capacity of the bounded
channel by one. This PR fixes the undesired backpressure removal that
was caused by the #1409. This issue has been discovered by @sandreim
during Versi testing and needs to be treated as critical that should not
be included in any release without this reversion.

This PR reverts the original behaviour.
