      Remove `as frame_system::DefaultConfig` from the required syntax in `derive_impl` (#3505) · cdc8d197
      gupnik authored 
      Step in https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/171

This PR removes the need to specify `as [disambiguation_path]` for cases
where the trait definition resides within the same scope as default impl
path.

For example, in the following macro invocation
```rust
#[derive_impl(frame_system::config_preludes::TestDefaultConfig as frame_system::DefaultConfig)]
impl frame_system::Config for Runtime {
   ...
}
```
the trait `DefaultConfig` lies within the `frame_system` scope and
`TestDefaultConfig` impls the `DefaultConfig` trait. Using this
information, we can compute the disambiguation path internally, thus
removing the need of an explicit specification.

In cases where the trait lies outside this scope, we would still need to
specify it explicitly, but this should take care of most (if not all)
uses of `derive_impl` within FRAME's context.

      provisioner: allow multiple cores assigned to the same para (#3233) · 62b78a16
      Alin Dima authored 
      https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/3130

builds on top of https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/3160

Processes the availability cores and builds a record of how many
candidates it should request from prospective-parachains and their
predecessors.
Tries to supply as many candidates as the runtime can back. Note that
the runtime changes to back multiple candidates per para are not yet
done, but this paves the way for it.

The following backing/inclusion policy is assumed:
1. the runtime will never back candidates of the same para which don't
form a chain with the already backed candidates. Even if the others are
still pending availability. We're optimistic that they won't time out
and we don't want to back parachain forks (as the complexity would be
huge).
2. if a candidate is timed out of the core before being included, all of
its successors occupying a core will be evicted.
3. only the candidates which are made available and form a chain
starting from the on-chain para head may be included/enacted and cleared
from the cores. In other words, if para head is at A and the cores are
occupied by B->C->D, and B and D are made available, only B will be
included and its core cleared. C and D will remain on the cores awaiting
for C to be made available or timed out. As point (2) above already
says, if C is timed out, D will also be dropped.
4. The runtime will deduplicate candidates which form a cycle. For
example if the provisioner supplies candidates A->B->A, the runtime will
only back A (as the state output will be the same)

Note that if a candidate is timed out, we don't guarantee that in the
next relay chain block the block author will be able to fill all of the
timed out cores of the para. That increases complexity by a lot.
Instead, the provisioner will supply N candidates where N is the number
of candidates timed out, but doesn't include their successors which will
be also deleted by the runtime. This'll be backfilled in the next relay
chain block.

Adjacent changes:
- Also fixes: https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/3141
- For non prospective-parachains, don't supply multiple candidates per
para (we can't have elastic scaling without prospective parachains
enabled). paras_inherent should already sanitise this input but it's
more efficient this way.

Note: all of these changes are backwards-compatible with the
non-elastic-scaling scenario (one core per para).

      subsystem-bench: add regression tests for availability read and write (#3311) · f0e589d7
      Andrei Eres authored 
      ### What's been done
- `subsystem-bench` has been split into two parts: a cli benchmark
runner and a library.
- The cli runner is quite simple. It just allows us to run `.yaml` based
test sequences. Now it should only be used to run benchmarks during
development.
- The library is used in the cli runner and in regression tests. Some
code is changed to make the library independent of the runner.
- Added first regression tests for availability read and write that
replicate existing test sequences.

### How we run regression tests
- Regression tests are simply rust integration tests without the
harnesses.
- They should only be compiled under the `subsystem-benchmarks` feature
to prevent them from running with other tests.
- This doesn't work when running tests with `nextest` in CI, so
additional filters have been added to the `nextest` runs.
- Each benchmark run takes a different time in the beginning, so we
"warm up" the tests until their CPU usage differs by only 1%.
- After the warm-up, we run the benchmarks a few more times and compare
the average with the exception using a precision.

### What is still wrong?
- I haven't managed to set up approval voting tests. The spread of their
results is too large and can't be narrowed down in a reasonable amount
of time in the warm-up phase.
- The tests start an unconfigurable prometheus endpoint inside, which
causes errors because they use the same 9999 port. I disable it with a
flag, but I think it's better to extract the endpoint launching outside
the test, as we already do with `valgrind` and `pyroscope`. But we still
use `prometheus` inside the tests.
