-# Postgres core changes
+1. Add t_cid to XLOG record
+- Why?
+  The cmin/cmax on a heap page is a real bummer. I don't see any other way to fix that than bite the bullet and modify the WAL-logging routine to include the cmin/cmax.
 
-This lists all the changes that have been made to the PostgreSQL
-source tree, as a somewhat logical set of patches. The long-term goal
-is to eliminate all these changes, by submitting patches to upstream
-and refactoring code into extensions, so that you can run unmodified
-PostgreSQL against Neon storage.
+  To recap, the problem is that the XLOG_HEAP_INSERT record does not include the command id of the inserted row. And same with deletion/update. So in the primary, a row is inserted with current xmin + cmin. But in the replica, the cmin is always set to 1. That works, because the command id is only relevant to the inserting transaction itself. After commit/abort, no one cares abut it anymore.
 
-In Neon, we run PostgreSQL in the compute nodes, but we also run a special WAL redo process in the
-page server. We currently use the same binary for both, with --wal-redo runtime flag to launch it in
-the WAL redo mode. Some PostgreSQL changes are needed in the compute node, while others are just for
-the WAL redo process.
+- Alternatives?
+  I don't know
 
-In addition to core PostgreSQL changes, there is a Neon extension in contrib/neon, to hook into the
-smgr interface. Once all the core changes have been submitted to upstream or eliminated some other
-way, the extension could live outside the postgres repository and build against vanilla PostgreSQL.
+2. Add PD_WAL_LOGGED.
+- Why?
+  Postgres sometimes writes data to the page before it is wal-logged. If such page ais swapped out, we  will loose this change. The problem is currently solved by setting PD_WAL_LOGGED bit in page header. When page without this bit set is written to the SMGR, then it is forced to be written to the WAL as FPI using log_newpage_copy() function.
 
-Below is a list of all the PostgreSQL source code changes, categorized into changes needed for
-compute, and changes needed for the WAL redo process:
+  There was wrong assumption that it can happen only during construction of some exotic indexes (like gist). It is not true. The same situation can happen with COPY,VACUUM and when record hint bits are set.
 
-# Changes for Compute node
+- Discussion:
+  https://discord.com/channels/869525774699462656/882681420986851359
 
-## Add t_cid to heap WAL records
+- Alternatives:
+  Do not store this flag in page header, but associate this bit with shared buffer. Logically it is more correct but in practice we will get not advantages: neither in space, neither in CPU overhead.
 
-```

- src/include/access/heapam_xlog.h                            |    6 +-
-```
 
-We have added a new t_cid field to heap WAL records. This changes the WAL record format, making Neon WAL format incompatible with vanilla PostgreSQL!
+3. XLogReadBufferForRedo not always loads and pins requested buffer. So we need to add extra checks that buffer is really pinned. Also do not use BufferGetBlockNumber for buffer returned by XLogReadBufferForRedo.
+- Why?
+  XLogReadBufferForRedo is not pinning pages which are not requested by wal-redo. It is specific only for wal-redo Postgres.
 
-### Problem we're trying to solve
+- Alternatives?
+  No
 
-The problem is that the XLOG_HEAP_INSERT record does not include the command id of the inserted row. And same with deletion/update. So in the primary, a row is inserted with current xmin + cmin. But in the replica, the cmin is always set to 1. That works in PostgreSQL, because the command id is only relevant to the inserting transaction itself. After commit/abort, no one cares about it anymore. But with Neon, we rely on WAL replay to reconstruct the page, even while the original transaction is still running.
 
-### How to get rid of the patch
+4. Eliminate reporting of some warnings related with hint bits, for example
+"page is not marked all-visible but visibility map bit is set in relation".
+- Why?
+  Hint bit may be not WAL logged.
 
-Bite the bullet and submit the patch to PostgreSQL, to add the t_cid to the WAL records. It makes the WAL records larger, which could make this unpopular in the PostgreSQL community. However, it might simplify some logical decoding code; Andres Freund briefly mentioned in PGCon 2022 discussion on Heikki's Neon presentation that logical decoding currently needs to jump through some hoops to reconstruct the same information.
+- Alternative?
+  Always wal log any page changes.
 
 
-### Alternatives
-Perhaps we could write an extra WAL record with the t_cid information, when a page is evicted that contains rows that were touched a transaction that's still running. However, that seems very complicated.
+5. Maintain last written LSN.
+- Why?
+  When compute node requests page from page server, we need to specify LSN. Ideally it should be LSN
+  of WAL record performing last update of this pages. But we do not know it, because we do not have page.
+  We can use current WAL flush position, but in this case there is high probability that page server
+  will be blocked until this peace of WAL is delivered.
+  As better approximation we can keep max LSN of written page. It will be better to take in account LSNs only of evicted pages,
+  but SMGR API doesn't provide such knowledge.
 
-## ginfast.c
+- Alternatives?
+  Maintain map of LSNs of evicted pages.

-The problem is explained in the comment above
+6. Launching Postgres without WAL.
+- Why?
+  According to Zenith architecture compute node is stateless. So when we are launching
+  compute node, we need to provide some dummy PG_DATADIR. Relation pages
+  can be requested on demand from page server. But Postgres still need some non-relational data:
+  control and configuration files, SLRUs,...
+  It is currently implemented  using basebackup (do not mix with pg_basebackup) which is created
+  by pageserver. It includes in this tarball config/control files, SLRUs and required directories.
+  As far as pageserver do not have original (non-scattered) WAL segments, it includes in
+  this tarball dummy WAL segment which contains only SHUTDOWN_CHECKPOINT record at the beginning of segment,
+  which redo field points to the end of wal. It allows to load checkpoint record in more or less
+  standard way with minimal changes of Postgres, but then some special handling is needed,
+  including restoring previous record position from zenith.signal file.
+  Also we have to correctly initialize header of last WAL page (pointed by checkpoint.redo)
+  to pass checks performed by XLogReader.
 
-### How to get rid of the patch
+- Alternatives?
+  We may not include fake WAL segment in tarball at all and modify xlog.c to load checkpoint record
+  in special way. But it may only increase number of changes in xlog.c
 
-Can we stop WAL-logging FSM or VM pages? Or delay the WAL logging until we're out of the critical
-section or something.
+7. Add redo_read_buffer_filter callback to XLogReadBufferForRedoExtended
+- Why?
+  We need a way in wal-redo Postgres to ignore pages which are not requested by pageserver.
+  So wal-redo Postgres reconstructs only requested page and for all other returns BLK_DONE
+  which means that recovery for them is not needed.
 
-Maybe some bigger rewrite of FSM and VM would help to avoid WAL-logging FSM and VM page images?
+- Alternatives?
+  No
 
+8. Enforce WAL logging of sequence updates.
+- Why?
+  Due to performance reasons Postgres don't want to log each fetching of a value from a sequence,
+  so we pre-log a few fetches in advance. In the event of crash we can lose
+  (skip over) as many values as we pre-logged.
+  But it doesn't work with Zenith because page with sequence value can be evicted from buffer cache
+  and we will get a gap in sequence values even without crash.
 
-## Mark index builds that use buffer manager without logging explicitly
+- Alternatives:
+  Do not try to preserve sequential order but avoid performance penalty.
 
-```

- src/backend/access/gist/gistbuild.c                         |   15 +-
- src/backend/access/spgist/spginsert.c                       |    8 +-
 
-also some changes in src/backend/storage/smgr/smgr.c
-```
+9. Treat unlogged tables as normal (permanent) tables.
+- Why?
+  Unlogged tables are not transient, so them have to survive node restart (unlike temporary tables).
+  But as far as compute node is stateless, we need to persist their data to storage node.
+  And it can only be done through the WAL.
 
-When a GIN index is built, for example, it is built by inserting the entries into the index more or
-less normally, but without WAL-logging anything. After the index has been built, we iterate through
-all pages and write them to the WAL. That doesn't work for Neon, because if a page is not WAL-logged
-and is evicted from the buffer cache, it is lost. We have an check to catch that in the Neon
-extension. To fix that, we've added a few functions to track explicitly when we're performing such
-an operation: `smgr_start_unlogged_build`, `smgr_finish_unlogged_build_phase_1` and
-`smgr_end_unlogged_build`.
-
-
-### How to get rid of the patch
-
-I think it would make sense to be more explicit about that in PostgreSQL too. So extract these
-changes to a patch and post to pgsql-hackers.
+- Alternatives?
+  * Store unlogged tables locally (violates requirement of stateless compute nodes).
+  * Prohibit unlogged tables at all.
 
 
-## Track last-written page LSN
+10. Support start Postgres in wal-redo mode
+- Why?
+  To be able to apply WAL record and reconstruct pages at page server.
 
-```
- src/backend/commands/dbcommands.c                           |   17 +-
+- Alternatives?
+  * Rewrite redo handlers in Rust
+  * Do not reconstruct pages at page server at all and do it at compute node.
 
-Also one call to SetLastWrittenPageLSN() in spginsert.c, maybe elsewhere too
-```
 
-Whenever a page is evicted from the buffer cache, we remember its LSN, so that we can use the same
-LSN in the GetPage@LSN request when reading the page back from the page server. The value is
-conservative: it would be correct to always use the last-inserted LSN, but it would be slow because
-then the page server would need to wait for the recent WAL to be streamed and processed, before
-responding to any GetPage@LSN request.
+11. WAL proposer
+- Why?
+  WAL proposer is communicating with safekeeper and ensures WAL durability by quorum writes.
+  It is currently implemented as patch to standard WAL sender.
 
-The last-written page LSN is mostly tracked in the smgrwrite() function, without core code changes,
-but there are a few exceptions where we've had to add explicit calls to the Neon-specific
-SetLastWrittenPageLSN() function.
+- Alternatives?
+  Can be moved to extension if some extra callbacks will be added to wal sender code.
 
-There's an open PR to track the LSN in a more-fine grained fashion:
-https://github.com/neondatabase/postgres/pull/177
 
-PostgreSQL v15 introduces a new method to do CREATE DATABASE that WAL-logs the database instead of
-relying copying files and checkpoint. With that method, we probably won't need any special handling.
-The old method is still available, though.
+12. Secure Computing BPF API wrapper.
+- Why?
+  Pageserver delegates complex WAL decoding duties to Postgres,
+  which means that the latter might fall victim to carefully designed
+  malicious WAL records and start doing harmful things to the system.
+  To prevent this, it has been decided to limit possible interactions
+  with the outside world using the Secure Computing BPF mode.
+
+- Alternatives:
+  * Rewrite redo handlers in Rust.
+  * Add more checks to guarantee correctness of WAL records.
+  * Move seccomp.c to extension
+  * Many other discussed approaches to neutralize incorrect WAL records vulnerabilities.
+
+
+13. Callbacks for replica feedbacks
+- Why?
+  Allowing waproposer to interact with walsender code.
+
+- Alternatives
+  Copy walsender code to walproposer.
+
+
+14. Support multiple SMGR implementations.
+- Why?
+  Postgres provides abstract API for storage manager but it has only one implementation
+  and provides no way to replace it with custom storage manager.
+
+- Alternatives?
+  None.
+
+
+15. Calculate database size as sum of all database relations.
+- Why?
+  Postgres is calculating database size by traversing data directory
+  but as far as Zenith compute node is stateless we can not do it.
+
+- Alternatives?
+  Send this request directly to pageserver and calculate real (physical) size
+  of Zenith representation of database/timeline, rather than sum logical size of all relations.
 
-### How to get rid of the patch
 
-Wait until v15?
+-----------------------------------------------
+Not currently committed but proposed:
 
+1. Disable ring buffer buffer manager strategies
+- Why?
+  Postgres tries to avoid cache flushing by bulk operations (copy, seqscan, vacuum,...).
+  Even if there are free space in buffer cache, pages may be evicted.
+  Negative effect of it can be somehow compensated by file system cache, but in case of Zenith
+  cost of requesting page from page server is much higher.
 
-## Cache relation sizes
+- Alternatives?
+  Instead of just prohibiting ring buffer we may try to implement more flexible eviction policy,
+  for example copy evicted page from ring buffer to some other buffer if there is free space
+  in buffer cache.

-## Allow startup without reading checkpoint record
-
-In Neon, the compute node is stateless. So when we are launching compute node, we need to provide
-some dummy PG_DATADIR. Relation pages can be requested on demand from page server. But Postgres
-still need some non-relational data: control and configuration files, SLRUs,...  It is currently
-implemented using basebackup (do not mix with pg_basebackup) which is created by pageserver. It
-includes in this tarball config/control files, SLRUs and required directories.
-
-As pageserver does not have the original WAL segments, the basebackup tarball includes an empty WAL
-segment to bootstrap the WAL writing, but it doesn't contain the checkpoint record.  There are some
-changes in xlog.c, to allow starting the compute node without reading the last checkpoint record
-from WAL.
-
-This includes code to read the `zenith.signal` file, which tells the startup code the LSN to start
-at. When the `zenith.signal` file is present, the startup uses that LSN instead of the last
-checkpoint's LSN. The system is known to be consistent at that LSN, without any WAL redo.
-
-
-### How to get rid of the patch
-
-???

-### Alternatives

-Include a fake checkpoint record in the tarball. Creating fake WAL is a bit risky, though; I'm
-afraid it might accidentally get streamed to the safekeepers and overwrite or corrupt the real WAL.

-keep the rewritten code in sync over time, across new PostgreSQL versions. That's why we want to
-leverage PostgreSQL code.

-### Problem we're trying to solve
-
-In PostgreSQL, if a WAL redo function calls XLogReadBufferForRead() for a page that has a full-page
-image, it always succeeds. However, Neon WAL redo process is only concerned about replaying changes
-to a singe page, so replaying any changes for other pages is a waste of cycles. We have modified
-XLogReadBufferForRead() to return BLK_DONE for all other pages, to avoid the overhead. That is

-
-Submit the changes to upstream, hope the community accepts them. There's no harm to PostgreSQL from

-

-BLK_NOTFOUND for pages that are known to be truncated away later in the WAL stream.

-
-### Why?
-
-Postgres tries to avoid cache flushing by bulk operations (copy, seqscan, vacuum,...).
-Even if there are free space in buffer cache, pages may be evicted.
-Negative effect of it can be somehow compensated by file system cache, but in Neon,
-cost of requesting page from page server is much higher.

-
-### Handling shutdown
-
-When a tenant or timeline is deleted, we need to shut down all threads

-in the thread registry can check if it has been requested to shut down,
-by calling `is_shutdown_requested()`. For async operations, there's also

-
-The primary programming model in the page server is synchronous,

-used. Be very careful when mixing sync and async code.
-
-Async is primarily used to wait for incoming data on network
-connections. For example, all WAL receivers have a shared thread pool,
-with one async Task for each connection. Once a piece of WAL has been
-received from the network, the thread calls the blocking functions in

-# WAL Redo
-
-To reconstruct a particular page version from an image of the page and
-some WAL records, the pageserver needs to replay the WAL records. This
-happens on-demand, when a GetPage@LSN request comes in, or as part of
-background jobs that reorganize data for faster access.
-
-It's important that data cannot leak from one tenant to another, and
-that a corrupt WAL record on one timeline doesn't affect other tenants
-or timelines.
-
-## Multi-tenant security
-
-If you have direct access to the WAL directory, or if you have
-superuser access to a running PostgreSQL server, it's easy to
-construct a malicious or corrupt WAL record that causes the WAL redo
-functions to crash, or to execute arbitrary code. That is not a
-security problem for PostgreSQL; if you have superuser access, you
-have full access to the system anyway.
-
-The Neon pageserver, however, is multi-tenant. It needs to execute WAL
-belonging to different tenants in the same system, and malicious WAL
-in one tenant must not affect other tenants.
-
-A separate WAL redo process is launched for each tenant, and the
-process uses the seccomp(2) system call to restrict its access to the
-bare minimum needed to replay WAL records. The process does not have
-access to the filesystem or network. It can only communicate with the
-parent pageserver process through a pipe.
-
-If an attacker creates a malicious WAL record and injects it into the
-WAL stream of a timeline, he can take control of the WAL redo process
-in the pageserver. However, the WAL redo process cannot access the
-rest of the system. And because there is a separate WAL redo process
-for each tenant, the hijacked WAL redo process can only see WAL and
-data belonging to the same tenant, which the attacker would have
-access to anyway.
-
-## WAL-redo process communication
-
-The WAL redo process runs the 'postgres' executable, launched with a
-Neon-specific command-line option to put it into WAL-redo process
-mode.  The pageserver controls the lifetime of the WAL redo processes,
-launching them as needed. If a tenant is detached from the pageserver,
-any WAL redo processes for that tenant are killed.
-
-The pageserver communicates with each WAL redo process over its
-stdin/stdout/stderr. It works in request-response model with a simple
-custom protocol, described in walredo.rs. To replay a set of WAL
-records for a page, the pageserver sends the "before" image of the
-page and the WAL records over 'stdin', followed by a command to
-perform the replay. The WAL redo process responds with an "after"
-image of the page.
-
-## Special handling of some records

-Some WAL record types are handled directly in the pageserver, by
-bespoken Rust code, and are not sent over to the WAL redo process.
-This includes SLRU-related WAL records, like commit records. SLRUs
-don't use the standard Postgres buffer manager, so dealing with them
-in the Neon WAL redo mode would require quite a few changes to
-Postgres code and special handling in the protocol anyway.
-
-Some record types that include a full-page-image (e.g. XLOG_FPI) are
-also handled specially when incoming WAL is processed already, and are
-stored as page images rather than WAL records.
-
-
-## Records that modify multiple pages
-
-Some Postgres WAL records modify multiple pages. Such WAL records are
-duplicated, so that a copy is stored for each affected page. This is
-somewhat wasteful, but because most WAL records only affect one page,
-the overhead is acceptable.
-
-The WAL redo always happens for one particular page. If the WAL record
-coantains changes to other pages, they are ignored.

-# Page server architecture
-
-The Page Server has a few different duties:
-
-- Respond to GetPage@LSN requests from the Compute Nodes
-- Receive WAL from WAL safekeeper, and store it
-- Upload data to S3 to make it durable, download files from S3 as needed
-
-S3 is the main fault-tolerant storage of all data, as there are no Page Server
-replicas. We use a separate fault-tolerant WAL service to reduce latency. It
-keeps track of WAL records which are not synced to S3 yet.

+## Page server architecture
+
+The Page Server has a few different duties:
+
+- Respond to GetPage@LSN requests from the Compute Nodes
+- Receive WAL from WAL safekeeper
+- Replay WAL that's applicable to the chunks that the Page Server maintains
+- Backup to S3
+
+S3 is the main fault-tolerant storage of all data, as there are no Page Server
+replicas. We use a separate fault-tolerant WAL service to reduce latency. It
+keeps track of WAL records which are not synced to S3 yet.
 
 The Page Server consists of multiple threads that operate on a shared
 repository of page versions:

-## Page Service
+Page Service
+------------
 
 The Page Service listens for GetPage@LSN requests from the Compute Nodes,
-and responds with pages from the repository. On each GetPage@LSN request,
-it calls into the Repository function
-
-A separate thread is spawned for each incoming connection to the page
-service. The page service uses the libpq protocol to communicate with
-the client. The client is a Compute Postgres instance.
-
-## WAL Receiver
-
-The WAL receiver connects to the external WAL safekeeping service
-using PostgreSQL physical streaming replication, and continuously
-receives WAL. It decodes the WAL records, and stores them to the
-repository.
+and responds with pages from the repository.
 
 
-## Backup service
+WAL Receiver
+------------
 
-The backup service, responsible for storing pageserver recovery data externally.
-
-Currently, pageserver stores its files in a filesystem directory it's pointed to.
-That working directory could be rather ephemeral for such cases as "a pageserver pod running in k8s with no persistent volumes attached".
-Therefore, the server interacts with external, more reliable storage to back up and restore its state.
-
-The code for storage support is extensible and can support arbitrary ones as long as they implement a certain Rust trait.
-There are the following implementations present:
-* local filesystem — to use in tests mainly
-* AWS S3           - to use in production
-
-Implementation details are covered in the [backup readme](./src/remote_storage/README.md) and corresponding Rust file docs, parameters documentation can be found at [settings docs](../docs/settings.md).
-
-The backup service is disabled by default and can be enabled to interact with a single remote storage.
-
-CLI examples:
-* Local FS: `${PAGESERVER_BIN} -c "remote_storage={local_path='/some/local/path/'}"`
-* AWS S3  : `env AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID='SOMEKEYAAAAASADSAH*#' AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY='SOMEsEcReTsd292v' ${PAGESERVER_BIN} -c "remote_storage={bucket_name='some-sample-bucket',bucket_region='eu-north-1', prefix_in_bucket='/test_prefix/'}"`
-
-For Amazon AWS S3, a key id and secret access key could be located in `~/.aws/credentials` if awscli was ever configured to work with the desired bucket, on the AWS Settings page for a certain user. Also note, that the bucket names does not contain any protocols when used on AWS.
-For local S3 installations, refer to the their documentation for name format and credentials.
-
-Similar to other pageserver settings, toml config file can be used to configure either of the storages as backup targets.
-Required sections are:
-
-```toml
-[remote_storage]
-local_path = '/Users/someonetoignore/Downloads/tmp_dir/'
-```
-
-or
-
-```toml
-[remote_storage]
-bucket_name = 'some-sample-bucket'
-bucket_region = 'eu-north-1'
-prefix_in_bucket = '/test_prefix/'
-```
-
-`AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` and `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` env variables can be used to specify the S3 credentials if needed.
-
-
-## Repository background tasks
-
-The Repository also has a few different background threads and tokio tasks that perform
-background duties like dumping accumulated WAL data from memory to disk, reorganizing
-files for performance (compaction), and garbage collecting old files.
