      Follow up work on `TransactionExtension` - fix weights and clean up `UncheckedExtrinsic` (#6418) · ae4b68b3
      georgepisaltu authored 
      
Follow up to https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/3685
Partially fixes https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/6403

The main PR introduced bare support for the new extension version byte
as well as extension weights and benchmarking.

This PR:
- Removes the redundant extension version byte from the signed v4
extrinsic, previously unused and defaulted to 0.
- Adds the extension version byte to the inherited implication passed to
`General` transactions.
- Whitelists the `pallet_authorship::Author`, `frame_system::Digest` and
`pallet_transaction_payment::NextFeeMultiplier` storage items as they
are read multiple times by extensions for each transaction, but are hot
in memory and currently overestimate the weight.
- Whitelists the benchmark caller for `CheckEra` and `CheckGenesis` as
the reads are performed for every transaction and overestimate the
weight.
- Updates the umbrella frame weight template to work with the system
extension changes.
- Plans on re-running the benchmarks at least for the `frame_system`
extensions.

## Description

One goal of transaction extension is to get rid or unsigned
transactions.
But unsigned transaction validation has access to the
`TransactionSource`.

The source is used for unsigned transactions that the node trust and
don't want to pay upfront.
Instead of using transaction source we could do: the transaction is
valid if it is signed by the block author, conceptually it should work,
but it doesn't look so easy.

This PR add `TransactionSource` to the validate function for transaction
extensions

      FRAME: Reintroduce `TransactionExtension` as a replacement for `SignedExtension` (#3685) · b76e91ac
      georgepisaltu authored 
      
Original PR https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/2280
reverted in https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/3665

This PR reintroduces the reverted functionality with additional changes,
related effort
[here](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/3623).
Description is copied over from the original PR

First part of [Extrinsic
Horizon](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/2415)

Introduces a new trait `TransactionExtension` to replace
`SignedExtension`. Introduce the idea of transactions which obey the
runtime's extensions and have according Extension data (né Extra data)
yet do not have hard-coded signatures.

Deprecate the terminology of "Unsigned" when used for
transactions/extrinsics owing to there now being "proper" unsigned
transactions which obey the extension framework and "old-style" unsigned
which do not. Instead we have __*General*__ for the former and
__*Bare*__ for the latter. (Ultimately, the latter will be phased out as
a type of transaction, and Bare will only be used for Inherents.)

Types of extrinsic are now therefore:
- Bare (no hardcoded signature, no Extra data; used to be known as
"Unsigned")
- Bare transactions (deprecated): Gossiped, validated with
`ValidateUnsigned` (deprecated) and the `_bare_compat` bits of
`TransactionExtension` (deprecated).
  - Inherents: Not gossiped, validated with `ProvideInherent`.
- Extended (Extra data): Gossiped, validated via `TransactionExtension`.
  - Signed transactions (with a hardcoded signature) in extrinsic v4.
- General transactions (without a hardcoded signature) in extrinsic v5.

`TransactionExtension` differs from `SignedExtension` because:
- A signature on the underlying transaction may validly not be present.
- It may alter the origin during validation.
- `pre_dispatch` is renamed to `prepare` and need not contain the checks
present in `validate`.
- `validate` and `prepare` is passed an `Origin` rather than a
`AccountId`.
- `validate` may pass arbitrary information into `prepare` via a new
user-specifiable type `Val`.
- `AdditionalSigned`/`additional_signed` is renamed to
`Implicit`/`implicit`. It is encoded *for the entire transaction* and
passed in to each extension as a new argument to `validate`. This
facilitates the ability of extensions to acts as underlying crypto.

There is a new `DispatchTransaction` trait which contains only default
function impls and is impl'ed for any `TransactionExtension` impler. It
provides several utility functions which reduce some of the tedium from
using `TransactionExtension` (indeed, none of its regular functions
should now need to be called directly).

Three transaction version discriminator ("versions") are now permissible
(RFC [here](https://github.com/polkadot-fellows/RFCs/pull/84)) in
extrinsic version 5:
- 0b00000100 or 0b00000101: Bare (used to be called "Unsigned"):
contains Signature or Extra (extension data). After bare transactions
are no longer supported, this will strictly identify an Inherents only.
Available in both extrinsic versions 4 and 5.
- 0b10000100: Old-school "Signed" Transaction: contains Signature, Extra
(extension data) and an extension version byte, introduced as part of
[RFC99](https://github.com/polkadot-fellows/RFCs/blob/main/text/0099-transaction-extension-version.md).
Still available as part of extrinsic v4.
- 0b01000101: New-school "General" Transaction: contains Extra
(extension data) and an extension version byte, as per RFC99, but no
Signature. Only available in extrinsic v5.

For the New-school General Transaction, it becomes trivial for authors
to publish extensions to the mechanism for authorizing an Origin, e.g.
through new kinds of key-signing schemes, ZK proofs, pallet state,
mutations over pre-authenticated origins or any combination of the
above.

`UncheckedExtrinsic` still maintains encode/decode backwards
compatibility with extrinsic version 4, where the first byte was encoded
as:
- 0b00000100 - Unsigned transactions
- 0b10000100 - Old-school Signed transactions, without the extension
version byte

Now, `UncheckedExtrinsic` contains a `Preamble` and the actual call. The
`Preamble` describes the type of extrinsic as follows:
```rust
/// A "header" for extrinsics leading up to the call itself. Determines the type of extrinsic and
/// holds any necessary specialized data.
#[derive(Eq, PartialEq, Clone)]
pub enum Preamble<Address, Signature, Extension> {
	/// An extrinsic without a signature or any extension. This means it's either an inherent or
	/// an old-school "Unsigned" (we don't use that terminology any more since it's confusable with
	/// the general transaction which is without a signature but does have an extension).
	///
	/// NOTE: In the future, once we remove `ValidateUnsigned`, this will only serve Inherent
	/// extrinsics and thus can be renamed to `Inherent`.
	Bare(ExtrinsicVersion),
	/// An old-school transaction extrinsic which includes a signature of some hard-coded crypto.
	/// Available only on extrinsic version 4.
	Signed(Address, Signature, ExtensionVersion, Extension),
	/// A new-school transaction extrinsic which does not include a signature by default. The
	/// origin authorization, through signatures or other means, is performed by the transaction
	/// extension in this extrinsic. Available starting with extrinsic version 5.
	General(ExtensionVersion, Extension),
}
```

## Code Migration

### NOW: Getting it to build

Wrap your `SignedExtension`s in `AsTransactionExtension`. This should be
accompanied by renaming your aggregate type in line with the new
terminology. E.g. Before:

```rust
/// The SignedExtension to the basic transaction logic.
pub type SignedExtra = (
	/* snip */
	MySpecialSignedExtension,
);
/// Unchecked extrinsic type as expected by this runtime.
pub type UncheckedExtrinsic =
	generic::UncheckedExtrinsic<Address, RuntimeCall, Signature, SignedExtra>;
```

After:

```rust
/// The extension to the basic transaction logic.
pub type TxExtension = (
	/* snip */
	AsTransactionExtension<MySpecialSignedExtension>,
);
/// Unchecked extrinsic type as expected by this runtime.
pub type UncheckedExtrinsic =
	generic::UncheckedExtrinsic<Address, RuntimeCall, Signature, TxExtension>;
```

You'll also need to alter any transaction building logic to add a
`.into()` to make the conversion happen. E.g. Before:

```rust
fn construct_extrinsic(
		/* snip */
) -> UncheckedExtrinsic {
	let extra: SignedExtra = (
		/* snip */
		MySpecialSignedExtension::new(/* snip */),
	);
	let payload = SignedPayload::new(call.clone(), extra.clone()).unwrap();
	let signature = payload.using_encoded(|e| sender.sign(e));
	UncheckedExtrinsic::new_signed(
		/* snip */
		Signature::Sr25519(signature),
		extra,
	)
}
```

After:

```rust
fn construct_extrinsic(
		/* snip */
) -> UncheckedExtrinsic {
	let tx_ext: TxExtension = (
		/* snip */
		MySpecialSignedExtension::new(/* snip */).into(),
	);
	let payload = SignedPayload::new(call.clone(), tx_ext.clone()).unwrap();
	let signature = payload.using_encoded(|e| sender.sign(e));
	UncheckedExtrinsic::new_signed(
		/* snip */
		Signature::Sr25519(signature),
		tx_ext,
	)
}
```

### SOON: Migrating to `TransactionExtension`

Most `SignedExtension`s can be trivially converted to become a
`TransactionExtension`. There are a few things to know.

- Instead of a single trait like `SignedExtension`, you should now
implement two traits individually: `TransactionExtensionBase` and
`TransactionExtension`.
- Weights are now a thing and must be provided via the new function `fn
weight`.

#### `TransactionExtensionBase`

This trait takes care of anything which is not dependent on types
specific to your runtime, most notably `Call`.

- `AdditionalSigned`/`additional_signed` is renamed to
`Implicit`/`implicit`.
- Weight must be returned by implementing the `weight` function. If your
extension is associated with a pallet, you'll probably want to do this
via the pallet's existing benchmarking infrastructure.

#### `TransactionExtension`

Generally:
- `pre_dispatch` is now `prepare` and you *should not reexecute the
`validate` functionality in there*!
- You don't get an account ID any more; you get an origin instead. If
you need to presume an account ID, then you can use the trait function
`AsSystemOriginSigner::as_system_origin_signer`.
- You get an additional ticket, similar to `Pre`, called `Val`. This
defines data which is passed from `validate` into `prepare`. This is
important since you should not be duplicating logic from `validate` to
`prepare`, you need a way of passing your working from the former into
the latter. This is it.
- This trait takes a `Call` type parameter. `Call` is the runtime call
type which used to be an associated type; you can just move it to become
a type parameter for your trait impl.
- There's no `AccountId` associated type any more. Just remove it.

Regarding `validate`:
- You get three new parameters in `validate`; all can be ignored when
migrating from `SignedExtension`.
- `validate` returns a tuple on success; the second item in the tuple is
the new ticket type `Self::Val` which gets passed in to `prepare`. If
you use any information extracted during `validate` (off-chain and
on-chain, non-mutating) in `prepare` (on-chain, mutating) then you can
pass it through with this. For the tuple's last item, just return the
`origin` argument.

Regarding `prepare`:
- This is renamed from `pre_dispatch`, but there is one change:
- FUNCTIONALITY TO VALIDATE THE TRANSACTION NEED NOT BE DUPLICATED FROM
`validate`!!
- (This is different to `SignedExtension` which was required to run the
same checks in `pre_dispatch` as in `validate`.)

Regarding `post_dispatch`:
- Since there are no unsigned transactions handled by
`TransactionExtension`, `Pre` is always defined, so the first parameter
is `Self::Pre` rather than `Option<Self::Pre>`.

If you make use of `SignedExtension::validate_unsigned` or
`SignedExtension::pre_dispatch_unsigned`, then:
- Just use the regular versions of these functions instead.
- Have your logic execute in the case that the `origin` is `None`.
- Ensure your transaction creation logic creates a General Transaction
rather than a Bare Transaction; this means having to include all
`TransactionExtension`s' data.
- `ValidateUnsigned` can still be used (for now) if you need to be able
to construct transactions which contain none of the extension data,
however these will be phased out in stage 2 of the Transactions Horizon,
so you should consider moving to an extension-centric design.

      Adds syntax for marking calls feeless (#1926) · 60c77a2e
      gupnik authored 
      
Fixes https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/1725

This PR adds the following changes:
1. An attribute `pallet::feeless_if` that can be optionally attached to
a call like so:
```rust
#[pallet::feeless_if(|_origin: &OriginFor<T>, something: &u32| -> bool {
	*something == 0
})]
pub fn do_something(origin: OriginFor<T>, something: u32) -> DispatchResult {
     ....
}
```
The closure passed accepts references to arguments as specified in the
call fn. It returns a boolean that denotes the conditions required for
this call to be "feeless".

2. A signed extension `SkipCheckIfFeeless<T: SignedExtension>` that
wraps a transaction payment processor such as
`pallet_transaction_payment::ChargeTransactionPayment`. It checks for
all calls annotated with `pallet::feeless_if` to see if the conditions
are met. If so, the wrapped signed extension is not called, essentially
making the call feeless.

In order to use this, you can simply replace your existing signed
extension that manages transaction payment like so:
```diff
- pallet_transaction_payment::ChargeTransactionPayment<Runtime>,
+ pallet_skip_feeless_payment::SkipCheckIfFeeless<
+	Runtime,
+	pallet_transaction_payment::ChargeTransactionPayment<Runtime>,
+ >,
```
