# Description

* This PR adds a new extrinsic `poke_deposit` to `pallet-multisig`. This
extrinsic will be used to re-adjust the deposits made in the pallet to
create a multisig operation after AHM.
* Part of #5591 

## Review Notes

* Added a new extrinsic `poke_deposit` in `pallet-multisig`.
* Added a new event `DepositPoked` to be emitted upon a successful call
of the extrinsic.
* Although the immediate use of the extrinsic will be to give back some
of the deposit after the AH-migration, the extrinsic is written such
that it can work if the deposit decreases or increases (both).
* The call to the extrinsic would be `free` if an actual adjustment is
made to the deposit and `paid` otherwise.
* Added tests to test all scenarios.

## TO-DOs

Need to be backported to stable2503 release.

With the migration of staking accounts to [fungible
currency](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/5501), we can
now allow pool users to stake directly and vice versa. This update
introduces a configurable filter mechanism to determine which accounts
can join a nomination pool.

## Example Usage  

### 1. Allow any account to join a pool  
To permit all accounts to join a nomination pool, use the `Nothing`
filter:

```rust
impl pallet_nomination_pools::Config for Runtime {
    ...
    type Filter = Nothing;
}
```

### 2. Restrict direct stakers from joining a pool

To prevent direct stakers from joining a nomination pool, use
`pallet_staking::AllStakers`:
```rust
impl pallet_nomination_pools::Config for Runtime {
    ...
    type Filter = pallet_staking::AllStakers<Runtime>;
}
```

### 3. Define a custom filter
For more granular control, you can define a custom filter:
```rust
struct MyCustomFilter<T: Config>(core::marker::PhantomData<T>);

impl<T: Config> Contains<T::AccountId> for MyCustomFilter<T> {
    fn contains(account: &T::AccountId) -> bool {
        todo!("Implement custom logic. Return `false` to allow the account to join a pool.")
    }
}
```

This PR changes the behavior of delegate calls when the callee is not a
contract account: Instead of returning a `CodeNotFound` error, this is
allowed and the caller observes a successful call with empty output.

The change makes for example the following contract behave the same as
on EVM:

```Solidity
contract DelegateCall {
    function delegateToLibrary() external returns (bool) {
        address testAddress = 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000;
        (bool success, ) = testAddress.delegatecall(
            abi.encodeWithSignature("test()")
        );
        return success;
    }
}
```

- add check for precompiles addresses,
So we can easily identify which one are being called and not supported
yet

- fixes debug_call for revert call
If a call revert we still want to get the traces for that call, that
matches geth behaviors, diff tests will be added to the test suite for
this

- fixes traces for staticcall
The call type was not always being reported properly.

We mainly need that so that we can finally compile the `pallet_revive`
fixtures on stable. I did my best to keep the commits focused on one
thing to make review easier.

All the changes are needed because rustc introduced more warnings or is
more strict about existing ones. Most of the stuff could just be fixed
and the commits should be pretty self explanatory. However, there are a
few this that are notable:

## `non_local_definitions `

A lot of runtimes to write `impl` blocks inside functions. This makes
sense to reduce the amount of conditional compilation. I guess I could
have moved them into a module instead. But I think allowing it here
makes sense to avoid the code churn.

## `unexpected_cfgs`

The FRAME macros emit code that references various features like `std`,
`runtime-benchmarks` or `try-runtime`. If a create that uses those
macros does not have those features we get this warning. Those were
mostly when ...

This pull request implements the remove_lease() extrinsic.


## Integration

Downstream projects need to benchmark the weight for the remove_lease()
extrinsic.

## Review Notes

Mentorship is requested to ensure this is implemented correctly.

The lease is removed from state using the TaskId as a key. Is this
sufficient. Does the extrinsic need to do anything else?

Derive `DecodeWithMemTracking` for the structures in the cumulus pallets
and for the structures in the `polkadot-sdk` runtimes.

The PR contains no functional changes and no manual implementation. Just
deriving `DecodeWithMemTracking`.

Related to https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/7360

This PR implements `DecodeWithMemTracking` for the types in the frame
pallets

The PR is verbose, but it's very simple. `DecodeWithMemTracking` is
simply derived for most of the types. There are only 3 exceptions which
are isolated into 2 separate commits.

Add a new extrinsic `dispatch_as_fallible`.

It's almost the same as [`Pallet::dispatch_as`] but forwards any error
of the inner call.

Closes #219.

And add more unit tests to cover `dispatch_as` and
`dispatch_as_fallible`.

Recreation of https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/7357 on
top of master. The old PR messes up the git history too much so I am
recreating it from scratch.

This PR is work in progress. It's purpose is to commit initial structure
of `pallet-staking-ah-client` and `pallet-staking-rc-client` to master.
The changes will be polished by a follow up PRs which will be
backported.

Related issues: https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/6167
and https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/6166

This PR introduces the initial structure for `pallet-ah-client` and
`pallet-rc-client`. These pallets will reside on the relay chain and
AssetHub, respectively, and will manage the interaction between
`pallet-session` on the relay chain and `pallet-staking` on AssetHub.

Both pallets are experimental and not intended for production use.

helps https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/6344, but need
to migrate storage `Offences::Reports` before we can remove exposure
dependency in RC pallets.

replaces https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/6788.

## Context  
Slashing in staking is unbounded currently, which is a major blocker
until staking can move to a parachain (AH).

### Current Slashing Process (Unbounded)  

1. **Offence Reported**  
- Offences include multiple validators, each with potentially large
exposure pages.
- Slashes are **computed immediately** and scheduled for application
after **28 eras**.

2. **Slash Applied**  
- All unapplied slashes are executed in **one block** at the start of
the **28th era**. This is an **unbounded operation**.


### Proposed Slashing Process (Bounded)  

1. **Offence Queueing**  
   - Offences are **queued** after basic sanity checks.  

2. **Paged Offence Processing (Computing Slash)**  
   - Slashes are **computed one validator exposure page at a time**.  
   - **Unapplied slashes** are stored in a **double map**:  
     - **Key 1 (k1):** `EraIndex`  
- **Key 2 (k2):** `(Validator, SlashFraction, PageIndex)` — a unique
identifier for each slash page

3. **Paged Slash Application**  
- Slashes are **applied one page at a time** across multiple blocks.
- Slash application starts at the **27th era** (one era earlier than
before) to ensure all slashes are applied **before stakers can unbond**
(which starts from era 28 onwards).

---

## Worst-Case Block Calculation for Slash Application  

### Polkadot:  
- **1 era = 24 hours**, **1 block = 6s** → **14,400 blocks/era**  
- On parachains (**12s blocks**) → **7,200 blocks/era**  

### Kusama:  
- **1 era = 6 hours**, **1 block = 6s** → **3,600 blocks/era**  
- On parachains (**12s blocks**) → **1,800 blocks/era**  

### Worst-Case Assumptions:  
- **Total stakers:** 40,000 nominators, 1000 validators. (Polkadot
currently has ~23k nominators and 500 validators)
- **Max slashed:** 50% so 20k nominators, 250 validators.  
- **Page size:** Validators with multiple page: (512 + 1)/2 = 256 ,
Validators with single page: 1

### Calculation:  
There might be a more accurate way to calculate this worst-case number,
and this estimate could be significantly higher than necessary, but it
shouldn’t exceed this value.

Blocks needed: 250 + 20k/256 = ~330 blocks.

##  *Potential Improvement:*  
- Consider adding an **Offchain Worker (OCW)** task to further optimize
slash application in future updates.
- Dynamically batch unapplied slashes based on number of nominators in
the page, or process until reserved weight limit is exhausted.

## Summary of Changes  

### Storage  
- **New:**  
  - `OffenceQueue` *(StorageDoubleMap)*  
    - **K1:** Era  
    - **K2:** Offending validator account  
    - **V:** `OffenceRecord`  
  - `OffenceQueueEras` *(StorageValue)*  
    - **V:** `BoundedVec<EraIndex, BoundingDuration>`  
  - `ProcessingOffence` *(StorageValue)*  
    - **V:** `(Era, offending validator account, OffenceRecord)`  

- **Changed:**  
  - `UnappliedSlashes`:  
    - **Old:** `StorageMap<K -> Era, V -> Vec<UnappliedSlash>>`  
- **New:** `StorageDoubleMap<K1 -> Era, K2 -> (validator_acc, perbill,
page_index), V -> UnappliedSlash>`

### Events  
- **New:**  
  - `SlashComputed { offence_era, slash_era, offender, page }`  
  - `SlashCancelled { slash_era, slash_key, payout }`  

### Error  
- **Changed:**  
  - `InvalidSlashIndex` → Renamed to `InvalidSlashRecord`  
- **Removed:**  
  - `NotSortedAndUnique`  
- **Added:**  
  - `EraNotStarted`  

### Call  
- **Changed:**  
  - `cancel_deferred_slash(era, slash_indices: Vec<u32>)`  
    → Now takes `Vec<(validator_acc, slash_fraction, page_index)>`  
- **New:**  
- `apply_slash(slash_era, slash_key: (validator_acc, slash_fraction,
page_index))`

### Runtime Config  
- `FullIdentification` is now set to a unit type (`()`) / null identity,
replacing the previous exposure type for all runtimes using
`pallet_session::historical`.

## TODO
- [x] Fixed broken `CancelDeferredSlashes`.
- [x] Ensure on_offence called only with validator account for
identification everywhere.
- [ ] Ensure we never need to read full exposure.
- [x] Tests for multi block processing and application of slash.
- [x] Migrate UnappliedSlashes 
- [x] Bench (crude, needs proper bench as followup)
  - [x] on_offence()
  - [x] process_offence()
  - [x] apply_slash()
 
 
## Followups (tracker
[link](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/7596))
- [ ] OCW task to process offence + apply slashes.
- [ ] Minimum time for governance to cancel deferred slash.
- [ ] Allow root or staking admin to add a custom slash.
- [ ] Test HistoricalSession proof works fine with eras before removing
exposure as full identity.
- [ ] Properly bench offence processing and slashing.
- [ ] Handle Offences::Reports migration when removing validator
exposure as identity.

# Utility Call Fallback

This introduces a new extrinsic: **`if_else`**

Which first attempts to dispatch the `main` call(s). If the `main`
call(s) fail, the `fallback` call(s) is dispatched instead. Both calls
are executed with the same origin.

In the event of a fallback failure the whole call fails with the weights
returned.

## Use Case
Some use cases might involve submitting a `batch` type call in either
main, fallback or both.

## Multi Block Election Pallet

This PR adds the first iteration of the multi-block staking pallet. 

From this point onwards, the staking and its election provider pallets
are being customized to work in AssetHub. While usage in solo-chains is
still possible, it is not longer the main focus of this pallet. For a
safer usage, please fork and user an older version of this pallet.

Partly addresses https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/6157

The benchmarks measuring the impact of contract sizes on calling or
instantiating a contract were bogus because they needed to be written in
assembly in order to tightly control the basic block size.

This fixes the benchmarks for:
- call_with_code_per_byte
- upload_code
- instantiate_with_code

And adds a new benchmark that accounts for the fact that the interpreter

# Description

Currently, the `#[benchmarks]` macro always add `<T:Config>` to the
expanded code even if a where clause is used. Using a where clause which
also includes a trait bound for the generic `T` is triggering [this
clippy
warning](https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#multiple_bound_locations)
from Rust 1.78 onwards. We've found that
[here](https://github.com/freeverseio/laos/blob/main/pallets/precompiles-benchmark/src/precompiles/vesting/benchmarking.rs#L126-L132)
in LAOS, as we need to include `T: pallet_vesting::Config` in the where
clause, here's the outcome:

```rust
error: bound is defined in more than one place
   --> pallets/precompiles-benchmark/src/precompiles/vesting/benchmarking.rs:130:1

    = help: for further information visit https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#multiple_bound_locations
    = note: `-D clippy::multiple-bound-locations` implied by `-D warnings`
    = help: to override `-D warnings` add `#[allow(clippy::multiple_bound_locations)]`
    = note: this error originates in the attribute macro `benchmarks` (in Nightly builds, run with -Z macro-backtrace for more info)
```

While this is a harmless warning, only thrown due to a trait bound for T
is being defined twice in an expanded code that nobody will see, and
while annotating the benchmarks module with
`#[allow(clippy::multiple_bound_locations)]` is enough to get rid of it,
it might cause unnecessary concerns.

Hence, I think it's worth slightly modifying the macro to avoid this.

## Review Notes

What I propose is to include `<T: Config>` (or its instance version) in
the expanded code only if no where clause was specified, and include
that trait bound in the where clause if one is present.

I considered always creating a where clause which includes `<T: Config>`
even if the macro doesn't specify a where clause and totally getting rid
of `<T: Config>`, but discarded the idea for simplicity.

I also considered checking if `T:Config` is present in the provided
where clause (as it's the case in the LAOS example I provided) before
adding it, but discarded the idea as well due to it implies a bit more
computation and having `T:Config` defined twice in the where clause is
harmless: the compiler will ignore the second occurrence and nobody will
see it's there.

If you think this change is worth it and one of the discarded ideas
would be a better approach, I'm happy to push that code instead.

When trying to reproduce bugs we sometimes need to deploy code that
wouldn't pass validation. This PR adds a new environment variable
`REVIVE_SKIP_VALIDATION` that when set will skip all validation except
the contract blob size limit.

Please note that this only applies to when the pallet is compiled for
`std` and hence will never be part of on-chain.

Changes:
- Expose a `force_set_head` function from the `MessageQueue` pallet via
a new trait: `ForceSetHead`. This can be used to force the MQ pallet to
process this queue next.
- The change only exposes an internal function through a trait, no audit
is required.

## Context

For the Asset Hub Migration (AHM) we need a mechanism to prioritize the
inbound upward messages and the inbound downward messages on the AH. To
achieve this, a minimal (and no breaking) change is done to the MQ
pallet in the form of adding the `force_set_head` function.

An example use of how to achieve prioritization is then demonstrated in
`integration_test.rs::AhmPrioritizer`. Normally, all queues are
scheduled round-robin like this:

`| Relay | Para(1) | Para(2) | ... | Relay | ... `

The prioritizer listens to changes to its queue and triggers if either:
- The queue processed in the last block (to keep the general round-robin
scheduling)
- The queue did not process since `n` blocks (to prevent starvation if
there are too many other queues)

In either situation, it schedules the queue for a streak of three
consecutive blocks, such that it would become:

`| Relay | Relay | Relay | Para(1) | Para(2) | ... | Relay | Relay |
Relay | ... `

It basically transforms the round-robin into an elongated round robin.
Although different strategies can be injected into the pallet at
runtime, this one seems to strike a good balance between general service
level and prioritization.

Follow up from
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/6362#issuecomment-2629744365

The goal of this PR is to have the scheduler pallet work on a parachain
which does not produce blocks on a regular schedule, thus can use the
relay chain as a block provider.

Because blocks are not produced regularly, we cannot make the assumption
that block number increases monotonically, and thus have new logic to
handle multiple spend periods passing between blocks.

Requirement: 

instead of using the hard coded system block number. We add an
associated type BlockNumberProvider
