## Problem
Currently, tests may have a scrub during teardown if they ask for it,
but most tests don't request it. To detect "unknown unknowns", let's run
it at the end of every test where possible. This is similar to asserting
that there are no errors in the log at the end of tests.
## Summary of changes
- Remove explicit `enable_scrub_on_exit`
- Always scrub if remote storage is an S3Storage.
## Problem
Re-attach blocks the pageserver http server from starting up. Hence, it
can't reply to heartbeats
until that's done. This makes the storage controller mark the node
off-line (not good). We worked
around this by setting the interval after which nodes are marked offline
to 5 minutes. This isn't a
long term solution.
## Summary of changes
* Introduce a new `NodeAvailability` state: `WarmingUp`. This state
models the following time interval:
* From receiving the re-attach request until the pageserver replies to
the first heartbeat post re-attach
* The heartbeat delta generator becomes aware of this state and uses a
separate longer interval
* Flag `max-warming-up-interval` now models the longer timeout and
`max-offline-interval` the shorter one to
match the names of the states

## Problem
The rds-aurora endpoint connection cannot be reached from GitHub action
runners.
Temporarily remove this DBMS from the pgbench comparison runs.
## Summary of changes
On Saturday we normally run Neon in comparison with AWS RDS-Postgres and
AWS RDS-Aurora.
Remove Aurora until we have a working setup
Before this PR
1.The circuit breaker would trip on CompactionError::Shutdown. That's
wrong, we want to ignore those cases.
2. remote timeline client shutdown would not be mapped to
CompactionError::Shutdown in all circumstances.
We observed this in staging, see
https://neondb.slack.com/archives/C033RQ5SPDH/p1721829745384449
This PR fixes (1) with a simple `match` statement, and (2) by switching
a bunch of `anyhow` usage over to distinguished errors that ultimately
get mapped to `CompactionError::Shutdown`.
I removed the implicit `#[from]` conversion from `anyhow::Error` to
`CompactionError::Other` to discover all the places that were mapping
remote timeline client shutdown to `anyhow::Error`.
In my opinion `#[from]` is an antipattern and we should avoid it,
especially for `anyhow::Error`. If some callee is going to return
anyhow, the very least the caller should to is to acknowledge, through a
`map_err(MyError::Other)` that they're conflating different failure
reasons.
## Problem
Jobs `check-linux-arm-build` and `check-codestyle-rust-arm` (from
`.github/workflows/neon_extra_builds.yml`) duplicate `build-neon` and
`check-codestyle-rust` jobs in the main pipeline.
## Summary of changes
- Move `check-linux-arm-build` and `check-codestyle-rust-arm` from extra
builds to the main pipeline
By default git does not find a nice hunk header with rust. New(er)
versions ship with a handy xfuncname pattern, so lets enable that for
all developers.

## Problem
The in-memory layer vectored read was very slow in some conditions
(walingest::test_large_rel) test. Upon profiling, I realised that 80% of
the time was spent building up the binary heap of reads. This stage
isn't actually needed.
## Summary of changes
Remove the planning stage as we never took advantage of it in order to
merge reads. There should be no functional change from this patch.
## Problem
- `build-and-test` workflow is pretty big
- jobs that depend on the matrix job don't start before all variations
are done. I.e. `regress-tests` depend on `build-neon`, but we can't
start `regress-tests` on the release configuration until `build-neon` is
done on release **and debug** configurations. This will be more visible
once we add ARM to the matrix.
## Summary of changes
- Move jobs related to building (`build-neon`) and testing
(`regress-tests`) to a separate job
## Problem
The current bucket based rate limiter is not very intuitive and has some
bad failure cases.
## Summary of changes
Switches from fixed interval buckets to leaky bucket impl. A single
bucket per endpoint,
drains over time. Drains by checking the time since the last check, and
draining tokens en-masse. Garbage collection works similar to before, it
drains a shard (1/64th of the set) every 2048 checks, and it only
removes buckets that are empty.
To be compatible with the existing config, I've faffed to make it take
the min and the max rps of each as the sustained rps and the max bucket
size which should be roughly equivalent.
## Problem
Previously, Timeline::gc_info was only updated in a batch operation at
the start of GC. That means that timelines didn't generally have
accurate information about who their children were before the first GC,
or between GC cycles.
Knowledge of child branches is important for calculating layer
visibility in #8398
## Summary of changes
- Split out part of refresh_gc_info into initialize_gc_info, which is
now called early in startup
- Include TimelineId in retain_lsns so that we can later add/remove the
LSNs for particular children
- When timelines are added/removed, update their parent's retain_lsns
## Problem
In `test_basebackup_with_high_slru_count`, the pageserver is sometimes
mysteriously hanging on startup, having been started+stopped earlier in
the test setup while populating template tenant data.
- #7586
We can't see why this is hanging in this particular test. The test does
some weird stuff though, like attaching a load of broken tenants and
then doing a SIGQUIT kill of a pageserver.
## Summary of changes
- Attach tenants normally instead of doing a failpoint dance to attach
them as broken
- Shut the pageserver down gracefully during init instead of using
immediate mode
- Remove the "sequential" variant of the unstable test, as this is going
away soon anyway
- Log before trying to acquire lock file, so that if it hangs we have a
clearer sense of if that's really where it's hanging. It seems like it
is, but that code does a non-blocking flock so it's surprising.
Implements the TODO from #8466 about retries: now the user of the stream
returned by `list_streaming` is able to obtain the next item in the
stream as often as they want, and retry it if it is an error.
Also adds extends the test for paginated listing to include a dedicated
test for `list_streaming`.

## Problem
LayerAccessStats contains a lot of detail that we don't use: short
histories of most recent accesses, specifics on what kind of task
accessed a layer, etc. This is all stored inside a Mutex, which is
locked every time something accesses a layer.
## Summary of changes
- Store timestamps at a very low resolution (to the nearest second),
sufficient for use on the timescales of eviction.
- Pack access time and last residence change time into a single u64
- Use the high bits of the u64 for other flags, including the new layer
visibility concept.
- Simplify the external-facing model for access stats to just include
what we now track.
Note that the `HistoryBufferWithDropCounter` is removed here because it
is no longer used. I do not dislike this type, we just happen not to use
it for anything else at present.

## Problem
While investigating problem with test_subscriber_restart flukyness, I
found out that this test is not passed at all for PG 14/15 at MacOS
(while working for PG16).
## Summary of changes
Rewrite async connect state machine exactly in the same way as in
Vanilla: call `WaitLatchOrSocket` with `WL_SOCKETR_WRTEABLE` before
calling `PQconnectPoll`.
Please notice that most likely it will not fix flukyness of
test_subscriber_restart.

This adds the ability to list many prefixes in a streaming fashion to
both the `RemoteStorage` trait as well as `GenericRemoteStorage`.
* The `list` function of the `RemoteStorage` trait is implemented by
default in terms of `list_streaming`.
* For the production users (S3, Azure), `list_streaming` is implemented
and the default `list` implementation is used.
* For `LocalFs`, we keep the `list` implementation and make
`list_streaming` call it.
The `list_streaming` function is implemented for both S3 and Azure.
A TODO for later is retries, which the scrubber currently has while the
`list_streaming` implementations lack them.

The main thing in this pull request is the new `generate_key_retention`
function. It decides which deltas to retain and generate images for a
given key based on its history + retain_lsn + horizon.
On that, we generate a flat single level of delta layers over all deltas
included in the compaction. In the future, we can decide whether to
split them over the LSN axis as described in the RFC.

## Problem
`test_change_pageserver` stops pageservers in a way that can overlap
with the controller's heartbeats: the controller can get a heartbeat
success and then immediately find the node unavailable. This particular
situation triggers a log that isn't in our current allow-list of
messages for nodes offline
Example:
https://neon-github-public-dev.s3.amazonaws.com/reports/pr-8339/10048487700/index.html#testresult/19678f27810231df/retries
## Summary of changes
- Add the message to the allow list
## Problem
Postgres is using `access()` function in `GetNewRelFileNumber` to check
if assigned relfilenumber is not used for any other relation. This check
will not work in Neon, because we do not have all files in local
storage.
## Summary of changes
Use smgrexists() instead which will check at page server if such
relfilenode is used.

## Problem
As described in https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8398, layer
visibility is a new hint that will help us manage disk space more
efficiently.
## Summary of changes
- Introduce LayerVisibilityHint and store it as part of access stats
- Automatically mark a layer visible if it is accessed, or when it is
created.
The impact on the access stats size will be reversed in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8431
This is functionally a no-op change: subsequent PRs will add the logic
that sets layers to Covered, and which uses the layer visibility as an
input to eviction and heatmap generation.

## Problem
This test sometimes found that ancestors were getting cleaned up before
it had done any compaction.
Compaction was happening implicitly via Workload.
Example:
https://neon-github-public-dev.s3.amazonaws.com/reports/pr-8298/10032173390/index.html#testresult/fb04786402f80822/retries
## Summary of changes
- Set upload=False when writing data after shard split, to avoid doing a
checkpoint
- Add a checkpoint_period & explicit wait for uploads so that we ensure
data lands in S3 without doing a checkpoint
In general, replace:
* 'lfc_approximate_working_set_size' with
* 'lfc_approximate_working_set_size_windows'
For the "main" metrics that are actually scraped and used internally,
the old one is just marked as deprecated.
For the "autoscaling" metrics, we're not currently using the old one, so
we can get away with just replacing it.
Also, for the user-visible metrics we'll only store & expose a few
different time windows, to avoid making the UI overly busy or bloating
our internal metrics storage.
But for the autoscaling-related scraper, we aren't storing the metrics,
and it's useful to be able to programmatically operate on the trendline
of how WSS increases (or doesn't!) with window size. So there, we can
just output datapoints for each minute.

NB: cargo _should_ create the tag file in the `target/` directory
but doesn't if the directory already exists, which happens frequently
if rust-analyzer is launched by your IDE before you can type
`cargo build`. Hence, create the file manually here.

## Motivation & Context
We want to move away from `task_mgr` towards explicit tracking of child
tasks.
This PR is extracted from https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8339
where I refactor `PageRequestHandler` to not depend on task_mgr anymore.
## Changes
This PR refactors all global tasks but `PageRequestHandler` to use some
combination of `JoinHandle`/`JoinSet` + `CancellationToken`.
The `task_mgr::spawn(.., shutdown_process_on_error)` functionality is
preserved through the new `exit_on_panic_or_error` wrapper.
Some global tasks were not using it before, but as of this PR, they are.
The rationale is that all global tasks are relevant for correct
operation of the overall Neon system in one way or another.
## Future Work
After #8339, we can make `task_mgr::spawn` require a `TenantId` instead
of an `Option<TenantId>` which concludes this step of cleanup work and
will help discourage future usage of task_mgr for global tasks.
Part of #8128.
## Problem
Scrubber uses `scan_metadata` command to flag metadata inconsistencies.
To trust it at scale, we need to make sure the errors we emit is a
reflection of real scenario. One check performed in the scrubber is to
see whether layers listed in the latest `index_part.json` is present in
object listing. Currently, the scrubber does not robustly handle the
case where objects are uploaded/deleted during the scan.
## Summary of changes
**Condition for success:** An object in the index is (1) in the object
listing we acquire from S3 or (2) found in a HeadObject request (new
object).
- Add in the `HeadObject` requests for the layers missing from the
object listing.
- Keep the order of first getting the object listing and then
downloading the layers.
- Update check to only consider shards with highest shard count.
- Skip analyzing a timeline if `deleted_at` tombstone is marked in
`index_part.json`.
- Add new test to see if scrubber actually detect the metadata
inconsistency.
_Misc_
- A timeline with no ancestor should always have some layers.
- Removed experimental histograms
_Caveat_
- Ancestor layer is not cleaned until #8308 is implemented. If ancestor
layers reference non-existing layers in the index, the scrubber will
emit false positives.
