cb9487076c Increase timeout for wating subscriber caught-up (#8118)
## Problem

test_subscriber_restart has quit large failure rate'

https://neonprod.grafana.net/d/fddp4rvg7k2dcf/regression-test-failures?orgId=1&var-test_name=test_subscriber_restart&var-max_count=100&var-restrict=false

I can be caused by too small timeout (5 seconds) to wait until changes
are propagated.

Related to #8097

## Summary of changes

Increase timeout to 30 seconds.

7296f3ced6 SELECT 💣(); (#8270)
## Problem
We want to be able to test how our infrastructure reacts on segfaults in
Postgres (for example, we collect cores, and get some required
logs/metrics, etc)

## Summary of changes
- Add `trigger_segfauls` function to `neon_test_utils` to trigger a
segfault in Postgres
- Add `trigger_panic` function to `neon_test_utils` to trigger SIGABRT
(by using `elog(PANIC, ...))
- Fix cleanup logic in regression tests in endpoint crashed

de06ff1aaf pageserver: add time based image layer creation check (#8247)
## Problem
Assume a timeline with the following workload: very slow ingest of
updates to a small number of keys that fit within the same partition (as decided by
`KeySpace::partition`). These tenants will create small L0 layers since due to time 
based rolling, and, consequently, the L1 layers will also be small.

Currently, by default, we need to ingest 512 MiB of WAL before checking
if an image layer is required. This scheme works fine under the assumption that L1s are roughly of
checkpoint distance size, but as the first paragraph explained, that's not the case for all workloads.

## Summary of changes
Check if new image layers are required at least once every checkpoint timeout interval.

41b6097991 safekeeper: add separate tombstones map for deleted timelines (#8253)
## Problem

Safekeepers left running for a long time use a lot of memory (up to the
point of OOMing, on small nodes) for deleted timelines, because the
`Timeline` struct is kept alive as a guard against recreating deleted
timelines.

Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/6810

## Summary of changes

- Create separate tombstones that just record a ttid and when the
timeline was deleted.
- Add a periodic housekeeping task that cleans up tombstones older than
a hardcoded TTL (24h)

I think this also makes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/6766
un-needed, as the tombstone is also checked during deletion.

I considered making the overall timeline map use an enum type containing
active or deleted, but having a separate map of tombstones avoids
bloating that map, so that calls like `get()` can still go straight to a
timeline without having to walk a hashmap that also contains tombstones.

bb87941131 tests: make location_conf_churn more robust (#8271)
## Problem

This test directly manages locations on pageservers and configuration of
an endpoint. However, it did not switch off the parts of the storage
controller that attempt to do the same: occasionally, the test would
fail in a strange way such as a compute failing to accept a
reconfiguration request.

## Summary of changes

- Wire up the storage controller's compute notification hook to a no-op
handler
- Configure the tenant's scheduling policy to Stop.

## Problem

See #7466

## Summary of changes

Implement algorithm descried in
https://hal.science/hal-00465313/document

Now new GUC is added:
`neon.wss_max_duration` which specifies size of sliding window (in
seconds). Default value is 1 hour.

It is possible to request estimation of working set sizes (within this
window using new function
`approximate_working_set_size_seconds`. Old function
`approximate_working_set_size` is preserved for backward compatibility.
But its scope is also limited by `neon.wss_max_duration`.

Version of Neon extension is changed to 1.4

8e5a6808f5 Flatten compression algorithm setting (#8265)
This flattens the compression algorithm setting, removing the
`Option<_>` wrapping layer and making handling of the setting easier.

It also adds a specific setting for *disabled* compression with the
continued ability to read copmressed data, giving us the option to
more easily back out of a compression rollout, should the need arise,
which was one of the limitations of #8238.

Implements my suggestion from
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8238#issuecomment-2206181594 ,
inspired by Christian's review in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8238#pullrequestreview-2156460268 .

194f4b22ef feat(pageserver): integrate lsn lease into synthetic size (#8220)
Part of #7497, closes #8071. (accidentally closed #8208, reopened here)

## Problem

After the changes in #8084, we need synthetic size to also account for
leased LSNs so that users do not get free retention by running a small
ephemeral endpoint for a long time.

## Summary of changes

This PR integrates LSN leases into the synthetic size calculation. We
model leases as read-only branches started at the leased LSN (except it
does not have a timeline id).

Other changes:
- Add new unit tests testing whether a lease behaves like a read-only
branch.
- Change `/size_debug` response to include lease point in the SVG
visualization.
- Fix `/lsn_lease` HTTP API to do proper parsing for POST.

5ca996cc8f pageserver: downgrade stale generation messages to INFO (#8256)
## Problem

When generations were new, these messages were an important way of
noticing if something unexpected was going on. We found some real issues
when investigating tests that unexpectedly tripped them.

At time has gone on, this code is now pretty battle-tested, and as we do
more live migrations etc, it's fairly normal to see the occasional
message from a node with a stale generation.

At this point the cognitive load on developers to selectively allow-list
these logs outweighs the benefit of having them at warn severity.

Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8080

## Summary of changes

- Downgrade "Dropped remote consistent LSN updates" and "Dropping stale
deletions" messages to INFO
- Remove all the allow-list entries for these logs.

66dbb5ab82 CI(pg-clients): unify workflow with build-and-test (#8160)
## Problem

`pg-clients` workflow looks different from the main `build-and-test`
workflow for historical reasons (it was my very first task at Neon, and 
back then I wasn't really familiar with the rest of the CI pipelines).
This PR unifies `pg-clients` workflow with `build-and-test`

- Run the workflow on changes in relevant files
- Create Allure report for tests
- Send slack notifications to `#on-call-qa-staging-stream` channel

253bce4d9b proxy: cache certain non-retriable console errors for a short time (#8201)
## Problem

If there's a quota error, it makes sense to cache it for a short window
of time. Many clients do not handle database connection errors
gracefully, so just spam retry 🤡

## Summary of changes

Updates the node_info cache to support storing console errors. Store
console errors if they cannot be retried (using our own heuristic.
should only trigger for quota exceeded errors).

cb1b35bc32 pageserver: add supplementary branch usage stats (#8131)
## Problem

The metrics we have today aren't convenient for planning around the
impact of timeline archival on costs.

Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8108

## Summary of changes

- Add metric `pageserver_archive_size`, which indicates the logical
bytes of data which we would expect to write into an archived branch.
- Add metric `pageserver_pitr_history_size`, which indicates the
distance between last_record_lsn and the PITR cutoff.

These metrics are somewhat temporary: when we implement #8088 and
associated consumption metric changes, these will reach a final form.
For now, an "archived" branch is just any branch outside of its parent's
PITR window: later, archival will become an explicit state (which will
_usually_ correspond to falling outside the parent's PITR window).

The overall volume of timeline metrics is something to watch, but we are
removing many more in https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8245
than this PR is adding.

847e547125 fix(pageserver): ensure test creates valid layer map (#8191)
I'd like to add some constraints to the layer map we generate in tests.

(1) is the layer map that the current compaction algorithm will produce.
There is a property that for all delta layer, all delta layer overlaps
with it on the LSN axis will have the same LSN range.
(2) is the layer map that cannot be produced with the legacy compaction
algorithm.
(3) is the layer map that will be produced by the future
tiered-compaction algorithm. The current validator does not allow that
but we can modify the algorithm to allow it in the future.

## Summary of changes

Add a validator to check if the layer map is valid and refactor the test
cases to include delta layer start/end LSN.

3be571adba Only support compressed reads if the compression setting is present (#8238)
PR #8106 was created with the assumption that no blob is larger than
`256 MiB`. Due to #7852 we have checking for *writes* of blobs larger
than that limit, but we didn't have checking for *reads* of such large
blobs: in theory, we could be reading these blobs every day but we just
don't happen to write the blobs for some reason.

Therefore, we now add a warning for *reads* of such large blobs as well.

To make deploying compression less dangerous, we therefore only assume a
blob is compressed if the compression setting is present in the config.
This also means that we can't back out of compression once we enabled
it.

473d73ee8b pageserver: don't try to flush if shutdown during attach (#8235)
## Problem

test_location_conf_churn fails on log errors when it tries to shutdown a
pageserver immediately after starting a tenant attach, like this:
https://neon-github-public-dev.s3.amazonaws.com/reports/pr-8224/9761000525/index.html#/testresult/15fb6beca5c7327c

```
shutdown:shutdown{tenant_id=35f5c55eb34e7e5e12288c5d8ab8b909 shard_id=0000}:timeline_shutdown{timeline_id=30936747043353a98661735ad09cbbfe shutdown_mode=FreezeAndFlush}: failed to freeze and flush: cannot flush frozen layers when flush_loop is not running, state is Exited\n')
```

This is happening because Tenant::shutdown fires its cancellation token
early if the tenant is not fully attached by the time shutdown is
called, so the flush loop is shutdown by the time we try and flush.

## Summary of changes

- In the early-cancellation case, also set the shutdown mode to Hard to
skip trying to do a flush that will fail.

53e76cefd0 Simplify test_wal_page_boundary_start test (#8214)
All the code to ensure the WAL record lands at a page boundary was
unnecessary for reproducing the original problem. In fact, it's a pretty
basic test that checks that outbound replication (= neon as publisher)
still works after restarting the endpoint. It just used to be very
broken before commit 5ceccdc7de, which also added this test.

To verify that:

1. Check out commit f3af5f4660 (because the next commit, 7dd58e1449,
fixed the same bug in a different way, making it infeasible to revert
the bug fix in an easy way)
2. Revert the bug fix from commit 5ceccdc7de with this:

```

/tmp/neon/pg_install/v14/bin/pgbench: error while loading shared libraries: libpq.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
```
Originally, we added the `pgbench --version` call to check that
`pgbench` is installed and to fail earlier if it's not.
The failure happens because we don't have `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` set for
every job, and it also affects `psql` command.
We can move it to `actions/run-python-test-set` so as not to duplicate
code (as it already have `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` set).

## Summary of changes
- Remove `pgbench --version` call
- Move `psql` commands to common `actions/run-python-test-set`

b1cfc18161 L0 flush: opt-in mechanism to bypass PageCache reads and writes (#8190)
part of https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7418

# Motivation

(reproducing #7418)

When we do an `InMemoryLayer::write_to_disk`, there is a tremendous
amount of random read I/O, as deltas from the ephemeral file (written in
LSN order) are written out to the delta layer in key order.

In benchmarks (https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7409) we can
see that this delta layer writing phase is substantially more expensive
than the initial ingest of data, and that within the delta layer write a
significant amount of the CPU time is spent traversing the page cache.

# High-Level Changes

Add a new mode for L0 flush that works as follows:

* Read the full ephemeral file into memory -- layers are much smaller
than total memory, so this is afforable
* Do all the random reads directly from this in memory buffer instead of
using blob IO/page cache/disk reads.
* Add a semaphore to limit how many timelines may concurrently do this
(limit peak memory).
* Make the semaphore configurable via PS config.

# Implementation Details

The new `BlobReaderRef::Slice` is a temporary hack until we can ditch
`blob_io` for `InMemoryLayer` => Plan for this is laid out in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8183

# Correctness

The correctness of this change is quite obvious to me: we do what we did
before (`blob_io`) but read from memory instead of going to disk.

The highest bug potential is in doing owned-buffers IO. I refactored the
API a bit in preliminary PR
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8186 to make it less
error-prone, but still, careful review is requested.

# Performance

I manually measured single-client ingest performance from `pgbench -i
...`.

Full report:
https://neondatabase.notion.site/2024-06-28-benchmarking-l0-flush-performance-e98cff3807f94cb38f2054d8c818fe84?pvs=4

tl;dr:

* no speed improvements during ingest,  but
* significantly lower pressure on PS PageCache (eviction rate drops to
1/3)
  * (that's why I'm working on this)
* noticable but modestly lower CPU time

This is good enough for merging this PR because the changes require
opt-in.

We'll do more testing in staging & pre-prod.

# Stability / Monitoring

**memory consumption**: there's no _hard_ limit on max `InMemoryLayer`
size (aka "checkpoint distance") , hence there's no hard limit on the
memory allocation we do for flushing. In practice, we a) [log a
warning](23827c6b0d/pageserver/src/tenant/timeline.rs (L5741-L5743))
when we flush oversized layers, so we'd know which tenant is to blame
and b) if we were to put a hard limit in place, we would have to decide
what to do if there is an InMemoryLayer that exceeds the limit.
It seems like a better option to guarantee a max size for frozen layer,
dependent on `checkpoint_distance`. Then limit concurrency based on
that.

**metrics**: we do have the
[flush_time_histo](23827c6b0d/pageserver/src/tenant/timeline.rs (L3725-L3726)),
but that includes the wait time for the semaphore. We could add a
separate metric for the time spent after acquiring the semaphore, so one
can infer the wait time. Seems unnecessary at this point, though.

a33a88f8f0 Add support for reading and writing compressed blobs (#8106)
Add support for reading and writing zstd-compressed blobs for use in
image layer generation, but maybe one day useful also for delta layers.
The reading of them is unconditional while the writing is controlled by
the `image_compression` config variable allowing for experiments.

For the on-disk format, we re-use some of the bitpatterns we currently
keep reserved for blobs larger than 256 MiB. This assumes that we have
never ever written any such large blobs to image layers.

After the preparation in #7852, we now are unable to read blobs with a
size larger than 256 MiB (or write them).

A non-goal of this PR is to come up with good heuristics of when to
compress a bitpattern. This is left for future work.

Parts of the PR were inspired by #7091.

a2cdaa6b7c pageserver: rate limit log for loads of layers visited (#8228)
## Problem
At high percentiles we see more than 800 layers being visited by the
read path. We need the tenant/timeline to investigate.

## Summary of changes
Add a rate limited log line when the average number of layers visited
per key is in the last specified histogram bucket.
I plan to use this to identify tenants in us-east-2 staging that exhibit
this behaviour. Will revert before next week's release.

We can eliminate the anyhow backtrace with no loss of information
because the conversion to anyhow::Error happens in exactly one place.

ccd0b79e41 pageserver: simpler, stricter config error handling (#8177)
## Problem

Tenant attachment has error paths for failures to write local
configuration, but these types of local storage I/O errors should be
considered fatal for the process. Related thread on an earlier PR that
touched this code:
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7947#discussion_r1655134114

## Summary of changes

- Make errors writing tenant config fatal (abort process)
- When reading tenant config, make all I/O errors except ENOENT fatal
- Replace use of bare anyhow errors with `LoadConfigError`

e7e8fec3fd remote_storage config: move handling of empty inline table {} to callers (#8193)
Before this PR, `RemoteStorageConfig::from_toml` would support
deserializing an

We can instead let

* in PS & SK: assume that if the field is specified, it must be a valid
  RemtoeStorageConfig

(This PR started with a much simpler goal of factoring out the
`deserialize_item` function because I need that in another PR).

c53f81d434 CI(build-tools): Remove libpq from build image (#8206)
## Problem
We use `build-tools` image as a base image to build other images, and it
has a pretty old `libpq-dev` installed (v13; it wasn't that old until I
removed system Postgres 14 from `build-tools` image in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/6540)

## Summary of changes
- Remove `libpq-dev` from `build-tools` image
- Set `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` for tests (for different Postgres binaries that
we use, like psql and pgbench)
- Set `PQ_LIB_DIR` to build Storage Controller
- Set `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`/`DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH` in the Storage Controller
where it calls Postgres binaries

30027d94a2 Fix tracking of the nextMulti in the pageserver's copy of CheckPoint (#6528)
Whenever we see an XLOG_MULTIXACT_CREATE_ID WAL record, we need to
update the nextMulti and NextMultiOffset fields in the pageserver's
copy of the CheckPoint struct, to cover the new multi-XID. In
PostgreSQL, this is done by updating an in-memory struct during WAL
replay, but because in Neon you can start a compute node at any LSN,
we need to have an up-to-date value pre-calculated in the pageserver
at all times. We do the same for nextXid.

However, we had a bug in WAL ingestion code that does that: the
multi-XIDs will wrap around at 2^32, just like XIDs, so we need to do
the comparisons in a wraparound-aware fashion.

Fix that, and add tests.

Fixes issue #6520
