Adapt #152 into a proper EIP, including an initial implementation and simple benchmarks.

After discussion with the most recent EIP authors and the Zcash team, we've decided to pursue a direct BLAKE2b F precompile rather than focus on improving EIP-131. While EIP-131 is a bit more friendly to application developers, it isn't a flexible enough approach to bring BLAKE2b to the EVM and should be considered a nice-to-have.

Appreciate the support of @MadeofTin @zookozcash @daira @str4d @prestwich in getting to this approach, and of course @pdyraga for his initial implementation.

Should have a working geth precompile and initial benchmarks shortly
While 2046's cheaper precompile contract calls aren't a requirement for
this EIP's implementation, shipping this precompile without EIP-2046
would make the F function expensive for some of the motivating usecases.
Replace the existing ABI encoding interface to the BLAKE2b `F`
precompile with a loosely pack struct that's `staticcall`-friendly.

H/t to @pdyraga for putting together the interface!
Let's not relitigate precompiles, WASM, etc in thie EIP :)
If a conflicting EIP is moving forward the EIP editor can assign a new
address

This supersedes our internal PR, which has some initial discussion.

Initial implementation with benchmarks is at keep-network/go-ethereum#4 🎉

Looks like the build is choking on the EIP name, though the docs suggested that EIP drafts start with eip-draft-title-in-english.md until a number is assigned 🤷‍♂️

Contributing docs suggest EIPs be named `eip-draft-with-a-title` until
an editor has been assigned, but discussing this work off-platform
without a number is a problem.

Assigning 152 as the issue number where the `F` precompile was
originally raised (ethereum#152)

I suggest closing this EIP at the same time #2136 is merged

@axic I've pinged a few folks from ZCash last week to take a look at the test vectors. If we can, let's wait for 2-3 days before merging.

I'm curious about the rounds and the internal state. I just experimented a bit with the go-ethereum implementation. Setting rounds to 0, I would have expected one of these things to happen:

  • no-op, output == input
  • some other type of no-op, output == all zeroes

However, running it with rounds zero (and everything else too), yields

input 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
output 08c9bcf367e6096a3ba7ca8485ae67bb2bf894fe72f36e3cf1361d5f3af54fa5d182e6ad7f520e511f6c3e2b8c68059b6bbd41fbabd9831f79217e1319cde05b

In this case, what is the relation between the input state and the output state?

EDIT: It appears that the output if rounds == zero (regardless of input) always becomes the IV for BLAKE2b.

Pantheon got the same result for 213 zeros. Added to my tests PR, along with zero length array and moving 8 million rounds (a more realistic max rounds) out of time consuming tests.

@holiman I do agree this may be not very intuitive but this is how F compression is defined in the RFC. Even though there is no Cryptographic mixing done (r = 0), we still XOR the two halves and that's why h is modified. I think it makes sense to add it as a test vector to the EIP.

       FUNCTION F( h[0..7], m[0..15], t, f )
       |
       |      // Initialize local work vector v[0..15]
       |      v[0..7] := h[0..7]              // First half from state.
       |      v[8..15] := IV[0..7]            // Second half from IV.
       |
       |      v[12] := v[12] ^ (t mod 2**w)   // Low word of the offset.
       |      v[13] := v[13] ^ (t >> w)       // High word.
       |
       |      IF f = TRUE THEN                // last block flag?
       |      |   v[14] := v[14] ^ 0xFF..FF   // Invert all bits.
       |      END IF.
       |
       |      // Cryptographic mixing
       |      FOR i = 0 TO r - 1 DO           // Ten or twelve rounds.
       |      |
       |      |   // Message word selection permutation for this round.
       |      |   s[0..15] := SIGMA[i mod 10][0..15]
       |      |
       |      |   v := G( v, 0, 4,  8, 12, m[s[ 0]], m[s[ 1]] )
       |      |   v := G( v, 1, 5,  9, 13, m[s[ 2]], m[s[ 3]] )
       |      |   v := G( v, 2, 6, 10, 14, m[s[ 4]], m[s[ 5]] )
       |      |   v := G( v, 3, 7, 11, 15, m[s[ 6]], m[s[ 7]] )

       |      |   v := G( v, 3, 4,  9, 14, m[s[14]], m[s[15]] )
       |      |
       |      END FOR
       |
       |      FOR i = 0 TO 7 DO               // XOR the two halves.
       |      |   h[i] := h[i] ^ v[i] ^ v[i + 8]
       |      END FOR.

* Clarify the precompile's initial implementation

* Make the precompile return value clear

* Clean up references wording

* More rationale around this BLAKE2b approach

* Fix a couple misspellings

* Updated the interface for F precompile

- F precompile accepts now `abi.encodePacked` parameters taking 
exactly 213 bytes. This is safer and does not require left-padding data
- `rounds` parameter is now the first one as the gas cost depends only
on this parameter

* Updated gas cost section proposing GFROUND=1

* Detailed benchmarks moved to appendix section

* Benchmark stats are compared against ecRecover as a baseline

* Clarification: f parameter is true if it is nonzero

This rule is compatible with Solidity for boolean.

* Avoid referring to abi.encodePacked

The specification should not be Solidity-specific. Instead of
referring to abi.encodePacked we now just say "tightly encoded".

* Fixed incorrect link

"specified in the RFC" linked to the geth PR for F precompile
instead of linking to the BLAKE2b RFC.

* Shortened the description about when parameter f is considered as true

* Minor grammar improvement

* Updated information about endianness of F precompile inputs

BLAKE2b is consistently little-endian. abi.encodePacked encodes each 
of its arguments in big-endian order. We need to be clear which parameters
should go as little-endian (h, m, t) and which parameters should go as 
big-endian (rounds, f).

* Strict validation of f parameter

* Initial test vectors for F precompile

Test cases covered:
- input length too short
- input length too long
- malformed f flag encoding
- correct input, test vector from BLAKE2b RFC, Appendix A

* Test vector for a non-final round

* Test vector for the maximum number of rounds

* Test vector for a single round

* Added test vector for empty input

* The final block indicator (8-bit word) does not have endianness

* Clarify state vector encoding does not change in the output

* Put too short input test vector next to empty input test vector

* Added test vector for zero-rounds BLAKE2b case
