      availability-recovery: bump chunk fetch threshold to 1MB for Polkadot and 4MB for Kusama + testnets (#4399)

Doing this change ensures that we minimize the CPU usage we spend in
reed-solomon by only doing the re-encoding into chunks if PoV size is
less than 4MB (which means all PoVs right now)
 
Based on susbystem benchmark results we concluded that it is safe to
bump this number higher. At worst case scenario the network pressure for
a backing group of 5 is around 25% of the network bandwidth in hw specs.

Assuming 6s block times (max_candidate_depth 3) and needed_approvals 30
the amount of bandwidth usage of a backing group used would hover above
`30 * 4 * 3 = 360MB` per relay chain block. Given a backing group of 5
that gives 72MB per block per validator -> 12 MB/s.

      Polkadot-SDK Umbrella Crate (#3935) · 1c7a1a58
      Oliver Tale-Yazdi authored 
      

# Umbrella Crate

The Polkadot-SDK "umbrella" is a crate that re-exports all other
published crates. This makes it
possible to have a very small `Cargo.toml` file that only has one
dependency, the umbrella
crate. This helps with selecting the right combination of crate
versions, since otherwise 3rd
party tools are needed to select a compatible set of versions.

## Features

The umbrella crate supports no-std builds and can therefore be used in
the runtime and node.
There are two main features: `runtime` and `node`. The `runtime` feature
enables all `no-std`
crates, while the `node` feature enables all `std` crates. It should be
used like any other
crate in the repo, with `default-features = false`.

For more fine-grained control, additionally, each crate can be enabled
selectively. The umbrella
exposes one feature per dependency. For example, if you only want to use
the `frame-support`
crate, you can enable the `frame-support` feature.

The umbrella exposes a few more general features:
- `tuples-96`: Needs to be enabled for runtimes that have more than 64
pallets.
- `serde`: Specifically enable `serde` en/decoding support.
- `experimental`: Experimental enable experimental features - should not
yet used in production.
- `with-tracing`: Enable tracing support.
- `try-runtime`, `runtime-benchmarks` and `std`: These follow the
standard conventions.
- `runtime`: As described above, enable all `no-std` crates.
- `node`: As described above, enable all `std` crates.
- There does *not* exist a dedicated docs feature. To generate docs,
enable the `runtime` and
`node` feature. For docs.rs the manifest contains specific configuration
to make it show up
  all re-exports.

There is a specific `zepter` check in place to ensure that the features
of the umbrella are
correctly configured. This check is run in CI and locally when running
`zepter`.

## Generation

The umbrella crate needs to be updated every time when a new crate is
added or removed from the
workspace. It is checked in CI by calling its generation script. The
generation script is
located in `./scripts/generate-umbrella.py` and needs dependency
`cargo_workspace`.

Example: `python3 scripts/generate-umbrella.py --sdk . --version 1.9.0`

## Usage

> Note: You can see a live example in the `staging-node-cli` and
`kitchensink-runtime` crates.

The umbrella crate can be added to your runtime crate like this:

`polkadot-sdk = { path = "../../../../umbrella", features = ["runtime"],
default-features =
false}`

or for a node:

`polkadot-sdk = { path = "../../../../umbrella", features = ["node"],
default-features = false
}`

In the code, it is then possible to bring all dependencies into scope
via:

`use polkadot_sdk::*;`

### Known Issues

The only known issue so far is the fact that the `use` statement brings
the dependencies only
into the outer module scope - not the global crate scope. For example,
the following code would
need to be adjusted:

```rust
use polkadot_sdk::*;

mod foo {
   // This does sadly not compile:
   frame_support::parameter_types! { }

   // Instead, we need to do this (or add an equivalent `use` statement):
   polkadot_sdk::frame_support::parameter_types! { }
}
```

Apart from this, no issues are known. There could be some bugs with how
macros locate their own
re-exports. Please compile issues that arise from using this crate.

## Dependencies

The umbrella crate re-exports all published crates, with a few
exceptions:
- Runtime crates like `rococo-runtime` etc are not exported. This
otherwise leads to very weird
  compile errors and should not be needed anyway.
- Example and fuzzing crates are not exported. This is currently
detected by checking the name
of the crate for these magic words. In the future, it will utilize
custom metadata, as it is
  done in the `rococo-runtime` crate.
- The umbrella crate itself. Should be obvious :)

## Follow Ups
- [ ] Re-writing the generator in Rust - the python script is at its
limit.
- [ ] Using custom metadata to exclude some crates instead of filtering
by names.
- [ ] Finding a way to setting the version properly. Currently its
locked in the CI script.

 could you please do the same for the MMR crate? Am not sure
what commit was released since there are no release tags in the repo.

      Attempt to avoid specifying `BlockHashCount` for different... · ef144b1a

      Attempt to avoid specifying `BlockHashCount` for different `mocking::{MockBlock, MockBlockU32, MockBlockU128}` (#4543)

While doing some migration/rebase I came in to the situation, where I
needed to change `mocking::MockBlock` to `mocking::MockBlockU32`:
```
#[derive_impl(frame_system::config_preludes::TestDefaultConfig)]
impl frame_system::Config for TestRuntime {
	type Block = frame_system::mocking::MockBlockU32<TestRuntime>;
	type AccountData = pallet_balances::AccountData<ThisChainBalance>;
}
```
But actual `TestDefaultConfig` for `frame_system` is using `ConstU64`
for `type BlockHashCount = frame_support::traits::ConstU64<10>;`
[here](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/blob/master/substrate/frame/system/src/lib.rs#L303).
Because of this, it force me to specify and add override for `type
BlockHashCount = ConstU32<10>`.

This PR tries to fix this with `TestBlockHashCount` implementation for
`TestDefaultConfig` which supports `u32`, `u64` and `u128` as a
`BlockNumber`.

### How to simulate error
Just by removing `type BlockHashCount = ConstU32<250>;`
[here](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/blob/master/substrate/frame/multisig/src/tests.rs#L44)
```

   Compiling pallet-multisig v28.0.0 (/home/bparity/parity/aaa/polkadot-sdk/substrate/frame/multisig)

    = note: this error originates in the attribute macro `derive_impl` which comes from the expansion of the macro `frame_support::macro_magic::forward_tokens_verbatim` (in Nightly builds, run with -Z macro-backtrace for more info)

For more information about this error, try `rustc --explain E0277`.
error: could not compile `pallet-multisig` (lib test) due to 1 previous error 
```




## For reviewers:

(If there is a better solution, please let me know!)

The first commit contains actual attempt to fix the problem:
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/commit/3c5499e539f2218503fbd6ce9be085b03c31ee13.
The second commit is just removal of `BlockHashCount` from all other
places where not needed by default.

Closes: https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/1657
