      Introduce subsystem benchmarking tool (#2528) · 8a6e9ef1
      Andrei Sandu authored 
      This tool makes it easy to run parachain consensus stress/performance
testing on your development machine or in CI.

## Motivation
The parachain consensus node implementation spans across many modules
which we call subsystems. Each subsystem is responsible for a small part
of logic of the parachain consensus pipeline, but in general the most
load and performance issues are localized in just a few core subsystems
like `availability-recovery`, `approval-voting` or
`dispute-coordinator`. In the absence of such a tool, we would run large
test nets to load/stress test these parts of the system. Setting up and
making sense of the amount of data produced by such a large test is very
expensive, hard to orchestrate and is a huge development time sink.

## PR contents
- CLI tool 
- Data Availability Read test
- reusable mockups and components needed so far
- Documentation on how to get started

### Data Availability Read test

An overseer is built with using a real `availability-recovery` susbsytem
instance while dependent subsystems like `av-store`, `network-bridge`
and `runtime-api` are mocked. The network bridge will emulate all the
network peers and their answering to requests.

The test is going to be run for a number of blocks. For each block it
will generate send a “RecoverAvailableData” request for an arbitrary
number of candidates. We wait for the subsystem to respond to all
requests before moving to the next block.
At the same time we collect the usual subsystem metrics and task CPU
metrics and show some nice progress reports while running.

### Here is how the CLI looks like:

```

      Set clippy lints in workspace (requires rust 1.74) (#2390) · be8e6268
      Squirrel authored 
      

We currently use a bit of a hack in `.cargo/config` to make sure that
clippy isn't too annoying by specifying the list of lints.

There is now a stable way to define lints for a workspace. The only down
side is that every crate seems to have to opt into this so there's a
*few* files modified in this PR.

Dependencies:

- [x] PR that upgrades CI to use rust 1.74 is merged.

      Approve multiple candidates with a single signature (#1191) · a84dd0db
      Alexandru Gheorghe authored 
      Initial implementation for the plan discussed here: https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/701
Built on top of https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/1178
v0: https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot/pull/7554,

## Overall idea

When approval-voting checks a candidate and is ready to advertise the
approval, defer it in a per-relay chain block until we either have
MAX_APPROVAL_COALESCE_COUNT candidates to sign or a candidate has stayed
MAX_APPROVALS_COALESCE_TICKS in the queue, in both cases we sign what
candidates we have available.

This should allow us to reduce the number of approvals messages we have
to create/send/verify. The parameters are configurable, so we should
find some values that balance:

- Security of the network: Delaying broadcasting of an approval
shouldn't but the finality at risk and to make sure that never happens
we won't delay sending a vote if we are past 2/3 from the no-show time.
- Scalability of the network: MAX_APPROVAL_COALESCE_COUNT = 1 &
MAX_APPROVALS_COALESCE_TICKS =0, is what we have now and we know from
the measurements we did on versi, it bottlenecks
approval-distribution/approval-voting when increase significantly the
number of validators and parachains
- Block storage: In case of disputes we have to import this votes on
chain and that increase the necessary storage with
MAX_APPROVAL_COALESCE_COUNT * CandidateHash per vote. Given that
disputes are not the normal way of the network functioning and we will
limit MAX_APPROVAL_COALESCE_COUNT in the single digits numbers, this
should be good enough. Alternatively, we could try to create a better
way to store this on-chain through indirection, if that's needed.

## Other fixes:
- Fixed the fact that we were sending random assignments to
non-validators, that was wrong because those won't do anything with it
and they won't gossip it either because they do not have a grid topology
set, so we would waste the random assignments.
- Added metrics to be able to debug potential no-shows and
mis-processing of approvals/assignments.

## TODO:
- [x] Get feedback, that this is moving in the right direction. @ordian
@sandreim @eskimor @burdges, let me know what you think.
- [x] More and more testing.
- [x]  Test in versi.
- [x] Make MAX_APPROVAL_COALESCE_COUNT &
MAX_APPROVAL_COALESCE_WAIT_MILLIS a parachain host configuration.
- [x] Make sure the backwards compatibility works correctly
- [x] Make sure this direction is compatible with other streams of work:
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/635 &
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/742


- [x] Final versi burn-in before merging

      Changelogs local generation (#1411) · 42a3afba
      Chevdor authored 
      

This PR introduces a script and some templates to use the prdoc involved
in a release and build:
- the changelog
- a simple draft of audience documentation

Since the prdoc presence was enforced in the middle of the version
1.5.0, not all PRs did come with a `prdoc` file.
This PR creates all the missing `prdoc` files with some minimum content
allowing to properly generate the changelog.
The generated content is **not** suitable for the audience
documentation.

The audience documentation will be possible with the next version, when
all PR come with a proper `prdoc`.

## Assumptions

- the prdoc files for release `vX.Y.Z` have been moved under
`prdoc/X.Y.Z`
- the changelog requires for now for the prdoc files to contain author +
topic. Thos fields are optional.

The build script can  be called as:
```
VERSION=X.Y.Z ./scripts/release/build-changelogs.sh
```
