Logging errors with the debug format specifier causes multi-line errors,
which are sometimes a pain to deal with. Instead, we should use anyhow's
alternate display format, which shows the same information on a single
line.
Also adjusted a couple of error messages that were stale.

## Problem
While working on https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10617 I
(unintentionally) merged the PR before the main CI pipeline has
finished.
I suspect this happens because we have received all the required job
results from the pre-merge-checks workflow, which runs on PRs that
include changes to relevant files.
## Summary of changes
- Skip the `conclusion` job in `pre-merge-checks` workflows for PRs
## Problem
This test would sometimes emit unexpected logs from the storage
controller's requests to do migrations, which overlap with the test's
restarts of pageservers, where those migrations are happening some time
after a shard split as the controller moves load around.
Example:
https://neon-github-public-dev.s3.amazonaws.com/reports/pr-10602/13067323736/index.html#testresult/f66f1329557a1fc5/retries
## Summary of changes
- Do a reconcile_until_idle after shard split, so that the rest of the
test doesn't run concurrently with migrations
In the safekeeper, we block deletions on the timeline's gate closing,
and any `WalResidentTimeline` keeps the gate open (because it owns a
gate lock object). Thus, unless the `main_task` function of a partial
backup doesn't return, we can't delete the associated timeline.
In order to make these tasks exit early, we call the cancellation token
of the timeline upon its shutdown. However, the partial backup task
wasn't looking for the cancellation while waiting to acquire a partial
backup permit.
On a staging safekeeper we have been in a situation in the past where
the semaphore was already empty for a duration of many hours, rendering
all attempted deletions unable to proceed until a restart where the
semaphore was reset:

We forked copy_bidirectional to solve some issues like fast-shutdown
(disallowing half-open connections) and to introduce better error
tracking (which side of the conn closed down).
A change recently made its way upstream offering performance
improvements: https://github.com/tokio-rs/tokio/pull/6532. These seem
applicable to our fork, thus it makes sense to apply them here as well.
The primary benefit is that all the ad hoc get_matches() calls are no
longer necessary. Now all it takes to get at the CLI arguments is
referencing a struct member. It's also great the we can replace the ad
hoc CLI struct we had with this more formal solution.

## Problem
Merge Queue fails if changes include Rust code.
## Summary of changes
- Fix condition for `build-build-tools-image`
- Add a couple of no-op `false ||` to make predicates look
symmetric
## Problem
When a client dropped before a request completed, and a handler returned
an ApiError, we would log that at error severity. That was excessive in
the case of a request erroring on a shutdown, and could cause test
flakes.
example:
https://neon-github-public-dev.s3.amazonaws.com/reports/main/13067651123/index.html#suites/ad9c266207b45eafe19909d1020dd987/6021ce86a0d72ae7/
```
Cancelled request finished with an error: ShuttingDown

## Problem
This assertion is incorrect: it is legal to see another shard's data at
this point, after a shard split.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10609
## Summary of changes
- Remove faulty assertion
## Problem
There are two (related) problems with the previous handling of
`cargo-deny`:
- When a new advisory is added to rustsec that affects a dependency,
unrelated pull requests will fail.
- New advisories rely on pushes or PRs to be surfaced. Problems that
already exist on main will only be found if we try to merge new things
into main.
## Summary of changes
We split out `cargo-deny` into a separate workflow that runs on all PRs
that touch `Cargo.lock`, and on a schedule on `main`, `release`,
`release-compute` and `release-proxy` to find new advisories.
Update to a rebased version of our rust-postgres patches, rebased on
[this](98f5a11bc0)
commit this time.
With #10280 reapplied, this means that the rust-postgres crates will be
deduplicated, as the new crate versions are finally compatible with the
requirements of diesel-async.
Earlier update: #10561

## Problem
We want to check that `diesel print-schema` doesn't generate any changes
(`storage_controller/src/schema.rs`) in comparison with the list of
migration.
## Summary of changes
- Add `diesel_cli` to `build-tools` image
- Add `Check diesel schema` step to `build-neon` job, at this stage we
have all required binaries, so don't need to compile anything
additionally
- Check runs only on x86 release builds to be sure we do it at least
once per CI run.

## Problem
If offloading races with normal shutdown, we get a "failed to freeze and
flush: cannot flush frozen layers when flush_loop is not running, state
is Exited". This is harmless but points to it being quite strange to try
and freeze and flush such a timeline. flushing on shutdown for an
archived timeline isn't useful.

## Summary of changes
- During Timeline::shutdown, ignore ShutdownMode::FreezeAndFlush if the
timeline is archived

## Problem
Because dashmap 6 switched to hashbrown RawTable API, it required us to
use unsafe code in the upgrade:
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8107
## Summary of changes
Switch to clashmap, a fork maintained by me which removes much of the
unsafe and ultimately switches to HashTable instead of RawTable to
remove much of the unsafe requirement on us.
The test runs this query:
select count(*), sum(data::bigint)::bigint from t
to validate the test results between each part of the test. It performs
a simple sequential scan and aggregation, but was taking an order of
magnitude longer on v17 than on previous Postgres versions, which
sometimes caused the test to time out. There were two reasons for that:
1. On v17, the planner estimates the table to have only only one row. In
reality it has 305790 rows, and older versions estimated it at 611580,
which is not too bad given that the table has not been analyzed so the
planner bases that estimate just on the number of pages and the widths
of the datatypes. The new estimate of 1 row is much worse, and it leads
the planner to disregard parallel plans, whereas on older versions you
got a Parallel Seq Scan.
I tracked this down to upstream commit 29cf61ade3, "Consider fillfactor
when estimating relation size". With that commit,
table_block_relation_estimate_size() function calculates that each page
accommodates less than 1 row when the fillfactor is taken into account,
which rounds down to 0. In reality, the executor will always place at
least one row on a page regardless of fillfactor, but the new estimation
formula doesn't take that into account.
I reported this to pgsql-hackers
(https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/2bf9d973-7789-4937-a7ca-0af9fb49c71e%40iki.fi),
we don't need to do anything more about it in neon. It's OK to not use
parallel scans here; once issue 2. below is addressed, the queries are
fast enough without parallelism..
2. On v17, prefetching was not happening for the sequential scan. That's
because starting with v17, buffers are reserved in the shared buffer
cache before prefetching is initiated, and we use a tiny
shared_buffers=1MB setting in the tests. The prefetching is effectively
disabled with such a small shared_buffers setting, to protect the system
from completely starving out of buffers.
To address that, simply bump up shared_buffers in the test.
This patch addresses the second issue, which is enough to fix the
problem.
## Problem
In https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10438 it was pointed out
that it would be good to avoid picking tenants in ID order, and also to
avoid situations where we might double-select the same tenant.
There was an initial swing at this in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10443, where Chi suggested a
simpler approach which is done in this PR
## Summary of changes
- Split total set of tenants into in and out of home AZ
- Consume out of home AZ first, and if necessary shuffle + consume from
out of home AZ
## Problem
In https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10438 I had got the
function for picking tenants backwards, and it was preferring to move
things _away_ from their preferred AZ.
## Summary of changes
- Fix condition in `is_attached_outside_preferred_az`
## Problem
Timeline bootstrap starts a flush loop, but doesn't reliably shut down
the timeline (incl. waiting for flush loop to exit) before destroying
UninitializedTimeline, and that destructor tries to clean up local
storage. If local storage is still being written to, then this is
unsound.
Currently the symptom is that we see a "Directory not empty" error log,
e.g.
https://neon-github-public-dev.s3.amazonaws.com/reports/main/12966756686/index.html#testresult/5523f7d15f46f7f7/retries
## Summary of changes
- Move fallible IO part of bootstrap into a function (notably, this is
fallible in the case of the tenant being shut down while creation is
happening)
- When that function returns an error, call shutdown() on the timeline
## Problem
The test asserts that it completes at least 10 full timeline lifecycles,
but the noisy CI environment sometimes doesn't meet that goal.
Related: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10389
## Summary of changes
- Sleep for longer between pageserver restarts, so that the timeline
workers have more chance to make progress
- Sleep for shorter between retries from timeline worker, so that they
have better chance to get in while a pageserver is up between restarts
- Relax the success condition to complete at least 5 iterations instead
of 10
## Problem
for OLAP benchmarks we need specific connstr secrets with different
database names for each job step
This is a follow-up for https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10536

project that has 4 databases: neondb, tpch, clickbench and userexamples.

## Summary of changes

## Test run
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/actions/runs/13053968231
It took me ages to figure out why it was failing on my laptop. What I
saw was that when the test makes the 'import_pgdata' in the pageserver,
the pageserver actually performs a regular 'bootstrap' timeline creation
by running initdb, with no importing. It boiled down to the json request
that the test uses:
```
{
"new_timeline_id": str(timeline_id),
"import_pgdata": {
"idempotency_key": str(idempotency),
"location": {"LocalFs": {"path": str(importbucket.absolute())}},
},
},
```
and how serde deserializes into rust structs. The 'LocalFs' enum variant
in `models.rs` is gated on the 'testing' cargo feature. On a non-testing
build, that got deserialized into the default Bootstrap enum variant, as
a valid TimelineCreateRequestModeImportPgdata variant could not be
formed.
PS. IMHO we should get rid of the testing feature, compile in all the
functionality, and have a runtime flag to disable anything dangeorous.
With that, you would've gotten a nice "feature only enabled in testing
mode" error in this case, or the test would've simply worked. But that's
another story.
## Problem
close https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10482
## Summary of changes
Add an extra lock on the read path to protect against races. The read
path has an implication that only certain kind of compactions can be
performed. Garbage keys must first have an image layer covering the
range, and then being gc-ed -- they cannot be done in one operation. An
alternative to fix this is to move the layers read guard to be acquired
at the beginning of `get_vectored_reconstruct_data_timeline`, but that
was intentionally optimized out and I don't want to regress.
The race is not limited to image layers. Gc-compaction will consolidate
deltas automatically and produce a flat delta layer (i.e., when we have
retain_lsns below the gc-horizon). The same race would also cause
behaviors like getting an un-replayable key history as in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10049.

## Problem
In some cases, we were returning a very shallow error like `error
sending request for url (XXX)`, which made it very hard to figure out
the actual error.
## Summary of changes
Use `{:?}` in a few places, and remove it from places where we were
printing a string anyway.
Related to #10308, we might have legitimate changes in file size or
generation. Those changes should not cause warn log lines.
In order to detect changes of the generation number while the file size
stayed the same, load the metadata that we store on disk on loading of
the timeline.
Still do a comparison with the on-disk layer sizes to find any
discrepancies that might occur due to race conditions (new metadata file
gets written but layer file has not been updated yet, and PS shuts
down). However, as it's possible to hit it in a race conditon, downgrade
it to a warning.
Also fix a mistake in #10529: we want to compare the old with the new
metadata, not the old metadata with itself.
## Problem
The client code for `tenant-set-preferred-az` declared response type
`()`, so printed a spurious error on each use:
```
Error: receive body: error decoding response body: invalid type: map, expected unit at line 1 column 0
```
The requests were successful anyway.
## Summary of changes
- Declare the proper return type, so that the command succeeds quietly.
## Problem
We don't have per-timeline observability for read amplification.
Touches https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/23283.
## Summary of changes
Add a per-timeline `pageserver_layers_per_read` histogram.
NB: per-timeline histograms are expensive, but probably worth it in this
case.
## Problem
We suspect that Postgres checkpoints will limit the number of page
deltas necessary to reconstruct a page, but don't know for certain.
Touches https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/23283.
## Summary of changes
Add `pageserver_deltas_per_read_global` metric.
This pairs with `pageserver_layers_per_read_global` from #10573.
## Problem
The current global `pageserver_layers_visited_per_vectored_read_global`
metric does not appear to accurately measure read amplification. It
divides the layer count by the number of reads in a batch, but this
means that e.g. 10 reads with 100 L0 layers will only measure a read amp
of 10 per read, while the actual read amp was 100.
While the cost of layer visits are amortized across the batch, and some
layers may not intersect with a given key, each visited layer
contributes directly to the observed latency for every read in the
batch, which is what we care about.
Touches https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/23283.
Extracted from #10566.
## Summary of changes
* Count the number of layers visited towards each read in the batch,
instead of the average across the batch.
* Rename `pageserver_layers_visited_per_vectored_read_global` to
`pageserver_layers_per_read_global`.
* Reduce the read amp log warning threshold down from 512 to 100.
## Problem
Follow up of https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10550 in case the
upper limit is set larger than threshold. It does not make sense for
someone to enforce the behavior like "if there are >= 50 L0s, only
compact 10 of them".
## Summary of changes
Use the maximum of compaction threshold and upper limit when selecting
L0 files to compact.
