Working towards LegacyContactInfo => ContactInfo migration, the commit
hides some implementation details of LegacyContactInfo and expands API
parity with the new ContactInfo.
The commit implement new ContactInfo where
* Ports and IP addresses are specified separately so that unique IP
addresses can only be specified once.
* Different sockets (tvu, tpu, etc) are specified by opaque u8 tags so
that adding and removing sockets is backward and forward compatible.
* solana_version::Version is also embedded in so that it won't need to
be gossiped separately.
* NodeInstance is also rolled in by adding a field identifying when the
instance was first created so that it won't need to be gossiped
separately.
Update plan:
* Once the cluster is able to ingest the new type (i.e. this patch), a
2nd patch will start gossiping the new ContactInfo along with the
LegacyContactInfo.
* Once all nodes in the cluster gossip the new ContactInfo, a 3rd patch
will start solely using the new ContactInfo while still gossiping the
old LegacyContactInfo.
* Once all nodes in the cluster solely use the new ContactInfo, a 4th
patch will stop gossiping the old LegacyContactInfo.
dedups gossip addresses, keeping only the one with the highest weight
In order to avoid traffic congestion or sending duplicate packets, when
sampling gossip nodes if several nodes have the same gossip address
(because they are behind a relayer or whatever), they need to be
deduplicated into one.
Each time a node generates gossip pull-requests, it sends out all the
requests to a single randomly selected peer:
https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/blob/fd7ad31ee/gossip/src/crds_gossip_pull.rs#L253-L266
This causes a burst of pull-requests at a single node at once. In order
to make gossip in-bound traffic less bursty, this commit fans out gossip
pull-requests to several randomly selected peers.
This should reduce spikes in inbound gossip traffic without changing the
average load which may help reduce number of times outbound data budget is
exhausted when responding to gossip pull-requests at the receiving node, and
reduce number of pull-requests dropped.
* Add separate vote processing tpu port
* Add feature to send to tpu vote port
* Add vote rejecting sigverify mode
* use packet.meta.is_simple_vote_tx in place of deserialization
* consolidate code that identifies vote tx atcommon path for cpu and gpu
* new key for feature set
* banking forward tpu vote
* add tpu vote port to dockerfile and other review changes
* Simplify thread id compare
* fix a test; updated cluster_info ABI change

Broadcast stage and retransmit stage should arrange nodes on turbine
broadcast tree in exactly same order. Additionally any changes to this
ordering (e.g. updating how unstaked nodes are handled) requires feature
gating to keep the cluster in sync.
Current implementation is scattered out over several public methods and
exposes too much of implementation details (e.g. usize indices into
peers vector) which makes code changes and checking for feature
activations more difficult.
This commit encapsulates turbine peer computations into a new struct,
and only exposes two public methods, get_broadcast_peer and
get_retransmit_peers, for call-sites.
* Move gossip modules to solana-gossip
* Update Protocol abi digest due to move
* Move gossip benches and hook up CI
* Remove unneeded Result entries
* Single use statements
