There was a tricky race condition in compute_ctl, that sometimes makes
configurator skip updates. It makes a deadlock because:
- control-plane cannot configure compute, because it's in
ConfigurationPending state
- compute_ctl doesn't do any reconfiguration because
`configurator_main_loop` missed notification for it
Full sequence that reproduces the issue:
1. `start_compute` finishes works and changes status
`self.set_status(ComputeStatus::Running);`
2. configurator received update about `Running` state and dropped the
mutex lock in the iteration
3. `/configure` request was triggered at the same time as step 1, and
got the mutex lock
4. same `/configure` request set the spec and updated the state to
`ConfigurationPending`, also sent a notification
5. next iteration in configurator got the mutex lock, but missed the
notification

Addresses the 1.82 beta clippy lint `too_long_first_doc_paragraph` by
adding newlines to the first sentence if it is short enough, and making
a short first sentence if there is the need.
Part of #7497
## Problem
Static computes pinned at some fix LSN could be created initially within
PITR interval but eventually go out it. To make sure that Static
computes are not affected by GC, we need to start using the LSN lease
API (introduced in #8084) in compute_ctl.
## Summary of changes
**compute_ctl**
- Spawn a thread for when a static compute starts to periodically ping
pageserver(s) to make LSN lease requests.
- Add `test_readonly_node_gc` to test if static compute can read all
pages without error.
- (test will fail on main without the code change here)
**page_service**
- `wait_or_get_last_lsn` will now allow `request_lsn` less than
`latest_gc_cutoff_lsn` to proceed if there is a lease on `request_lsn`.

Makes `flush_frozen_layer` add a barrier to the upload queue and makes
it wait for that barrier to be reached until it lets the flushing be
completed.
This gives us backpressure and ensures that writes can't build up in an

1. Remove some unnecessary refs.
2. In edition 2024, inference will default to `!` and not `()`.
3. Clippy complains about doc comment indentation
4. Fix `Trait + ?Sized` where `Trait: Sized`.
5. diesel_derives triggering `non_local_defintions`
## Problem
I need `neon_superuser` to be allowed to create snapshots for
replication tests
## Summary of changes
Adds a migration that grants these functions to neon_superuser
Set core rmilit to ulimited in compute_ctl, so that all child processes
inherit it. We could also set rlimit in relevant startup script, but
that way we would depend on external setup and might inadvertently
disable it again (core dumping worked in pods, but not in VMs with
inittab-based startup).
## Problem
We currently use 'immediate' mode in the most commonly used shutdown
path, when the control plane calls a `compute_ctl` API to terminate
Postgres inside compute without waiting for the actual pod / VM
termination. Yet, 'immediate' shutdown doesn't create a shutdown
checkpoint and ROs have bad times figuring out the list of running xacts
during next start.
## Summary of changes
Use 'fast' mode, which creates a shutdown checkpoint that is important
for ROs to get a list of running xacts faster instead of going through
the CLOG. On the control plane side, we poll this `compute_ctl`
termination API for 10s, it should be enough as we don't really write
any data at checkpoint time. If it times out, we anyway switch to the
slow k8s-based termination.
See https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/server-shutdown.html for the
list of modes and signals.
The default VM shutdown hook already uses `fast` mode, see [1]

c9fd8d7693/vm-image-spec.yaml (L30-L31)
Related to #6211
This was a half-finished mechanism to allow a replica to enter hot
standby mode sooner, without waiting for a running-xacts record. It had
issues, and we are working on a better mechanism to replace it.
The control plane might still set the flag in the spec file, but
compute_ctl will simply ignore it.
## Summary of changes
- Stop logging HealthCheck message passing at INFO level (moved to
DEBUG)
- Stop logging /status accesses at INFO (moved to DEBUG)
- Stop logging most occurances of
`missing config file "compute_ctl_temp_override.conf"`
- Log memory usage only when the data has changed significantly, or if
we've not recently logged the data, rather than always every 2 seconds.
It makes them much easier to reason about, and allows other SQL tooling
to operate on them like language servers, formatters, etc.
I also brought back the removed migrations such that we can more easily
understand what they were. I included a "-- SKIP" comment describing why
those migrations are now skipped. We no longer skip migrations by
checking if it is empty, but instead check to see if the migration
starts with "-- SKIP".
The logic added in the original PR (#7434) only worked before sudo was
used, because 'sudo foo' will only fail with NotFound if 'sudo' doesn't
exist; if 'foo' doesn't exist, then sudo will fail with a normal error
exit.
This means that compute_ctl may fail to restart if it exits after
successfully enabling swap.
## Problem
There are two cloud's features that require extra compute endpoints.
1. We are running pg_dump to get DB schemas. Currently, we are using a
special service for this. But it would be great to execute pg_dump in an
isolated environment. And we already have such an environment, it's our
compute! And likely enough pg_dump already exists there too! (see
https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/11644#issuecomment-2084617832)
2. We need to have a way to get databases and roles from compute after
time travel (see https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/12109)
## Summary of changes
It adds two API endpoints to compute_ctl HTTP API that target both of
the aforementioned cases.

Part of applying the changes from #7600. This piece *technically* can
change the semantics because now the context guard is held before
process_cli, but... the difference is likely quite small.
Co-authored-by: Heikki Linnakangas <heikki@neon.tech>
This commit is intentionally designed to have as small a diff as
possible. To that end, the basic idea is that each distinct "chunk" of
the previous main() has been wrapped in its own function, with the
return values from each function being passed directly into the next.
The structure of main() is now visible from its contents, which have a
handful of smaller functions.
There's a lot of other work that can / should(?) be done beyond this,
but I figure that's more opinionated, and this should be a solid start.
Co-authored-by: Heikki Linnakangas <heikki@neon.tech>
- On a non-pooled start, do not reset the 'start_time' after launching
the HTTP service. In a non-pooled start, it's fair to include that in
the total startup time.
- When setting wait_for_spec_ms and resetting start_time, call
Utc::now() only once. It's a waste of cycles to call it twice, but also,
it ensures the time between setting wait_for_spec_ms and resetting
start_time is included in one or the other time period.
These differences should be insignificant in practice, in the
microsecond range, but IMHO it seems more logical and readable this way
too. Also fix and clarify some of the surrounding comments.
(This caught my eye while reviewing PR #7577)
Part of neondatabase/cloud#12047. Resolves#7239.
In short, this PR:
1. Adds `ComputeSpec.swap_size_bytes: Option<u64>`
2. Adds a flag to compute_ctl: `--resize-swap-on-bind`
3. Implements running `/neonvm/bin/resize-swap` with the value from the
compute spec before starting postgres, if both the value in the spec
*AND* the flag are specified.
4. Adds `sudo` to the final image
5. Adds a file in `/etc/sudoers.d` to allow `compute_ctl` to resize swap
Various bits of reasoning about design decisions in the added comments.
In short: We have both a compute spec field and a flag to make rollout
easier to implement. The flag will most likely be removed as part of
cleanups for neondatabase/cloud#12047.
We keep the practice of keeping the compiler up to date, pointing to the
latest release. This is done by many other projects in the Rust
ecosystem as well.

Part of neondatabase/cloud#12047.
The basic idea is that for our VMs, we want to enable swap and disable
Linux memory overcommit. Alongside these, we should set postgres'
dynamic_shared_memory_type to mmap, but we want to avoid setting it to
mmap if swap is not enabled.
Implementing this in the control plane would be fiddly, but it's
relatively straightforward to add to compute_ctl.

Release notes: https://blog.rust-lang.org/2024/03/21/Rust-1.77.0.html
Thanks to #6886 the diff is reasonable, only for one new lint
`clippy::suspicious_open_options`. I added `truncate()` calls to the
places where it is obviously the right choice to me, and added allows
everywhere else, leaving it for followups.
I had to specify cargo install --locked because the build would fail otherwise.
This was also recommended by upstream.
This pull request disables neon extension auto upgrade to help the next
compute image upgrade smooth.
## Summary of changes
We have two places to auto-upgrade neon extension: during compute spec
update, and when the compute node starts. The compute spec update logic
is always there, and the compute node start logic is added in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7029. In this pull request, we
disable both of them, so that we can still roll back to an older version
of compute before figuring out the best way of extension
upgrade-downgrade. https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/6936
We will enable auto-upgrade in the next release following this release.
There are no other extension upgrades from release 4917 and therefore
after this pull request, it would be safe to revert to release 4917.
Impact:
* Project created after unpinning the compute image -> if we need to
roll back, **they will stuck**, because the default neon extension
version is 1.3. Need to manually pin the compute image version if such
things happen.
* Projects already stuck on staging due to not downgradeable -> I don't
know their current status, maybe they are already running the latest
compute image?
* Other projects -> can be rolled back to release 4917.

## Problem
It seems that even though we have a retry on basebackup, it still
sometimes fails to fetch it with the failpoint enabled, resulting in a
test error.
## Summary of changes
If we fail to get the basebackup, disable the failpoint and try again.
## Problem
Fix https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7003. Fix
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/6982. Currently, neon
extension is only upgraded when new compute spec gets applied, for
example, when creating a new role or creating a new database. This also
resolves `neon.lfc_stat` not found warnings in prod.
## Summary of changes
This pull request adds the logic to spawn a background thread to upgrade
the neon extension version if the compute is a primary. If for whatever
reason the upgrade fails, it reports an error to the console and does
not impact compute node state.
This change can be further applied to 3rd-party extension upgrades. We
can silently upgrade the version of 3rd party extensions in the
background in the future.
Questions:
* Does alter extension takes some kind of lock that will block user
requests?
* Does `ALTER EXTENSION` writes to the database if nothing needs to be
upgraded? (may impact storage size).
Otherwise it's safe to land this pull request.

Nightly has added a bunch of compiler and linter warnings. There is also
two dependencies that fail compilation on latest nightly due to using
the old `stdsimd` feature name. This PR fixes them.
We set it for neon replica, if primary is running.
Postgres uses this GUC at the start,
to determine if replica should wait for
RUNNING_XACTS from primary or not.

## Problem
Following up https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/6884, hopefully,
a real final fix for https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/6236.
## Summary of changes
`handle_migrations` is done over the main `postgres` db connection.
Therefore, the privileges assigned here do not work with databases
created later (i.e., `neondb`). This pull request moves the grants to
`handle_grants`, so that it runs for each DB created. The SQL is added
into the `BEGIN/END` block, so that it takes only one RTT to apply all
of them.

## Problem
Following up on https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/6845, we did
not make the default privileges grantable before, and therefore, even if
the users have full privileges, they are not able to grant them to
others.
Should be a final fix for
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/6236.
## Summary of changes

## Problem
fix https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/6236 again
## Summary of changes
This pull request adds a setup command in compute spec to modify default
privileges of public schema to have full permission on table/sequence
for neon_superuser. If an extension upgrades to superuser during
creation, the tables/sequences they create in the public schema will be
automatically granted to neon_superuser.
Questions:
* does it impose any security flaws? public schema should be fine...
* for all extensions that create tables in schemas other than public, we
will need to manually handle them (e.g., pg_anon).
* we can modify some extensions to remove their superuser requirement in
the future.
* we may contribute to Postgres to allow for the creation of extensions
with a specific user in the future.
