Subsequent improvements in memory contexts have allowed this ownership model and in fact it is now the default so no ownership changes are required in this patch except in StorageReadRemote which was not updated in f6e3073."

        "body": "A few bugs have been reported over the years on Alpine with musl libc and generally it has been possible to figure them out without testing on that platform but a few newer ones cannot be reproduced elsewhere.\n\nAlso, testing with additional libc implementations helps portability so it makes sense to add support.\n\nFor the most part musl libc works as expected with a few caveats:\n\n1) The FD_*() macros won't accept an int file descriptor without warning when -Wsign-conversion is enabled. I opened https://www.openwall.com/lists/musl/2025/05/23/4 to discuss this and I was referred to https://www.openwall.com/lists/musl/2024/07/16/1 which explains why this happens. It was not a very satisfying answer but clearly it is not going to be addressed so a meson probe was added to detect the issue and disable the warning.\n\n2) Floating point numbers are rounded differently than in GNU/Mac libc when formatted with printf() and friends. This is fine for the core code but causes issues in the unit tests that expect log entries to match exactly. This was solved in ad7ba46b by adding our own rough and ready formatting routines.\n\n3) Some error messages are different from GNU/Mac libc. This was solved with a new error macro that accepts multiple messages in b5fbb16c.\n\n4) For some reason ninja on Alpine outputs \"nothing to do\" messages to stderr whereas they go to stdout on other distributions. Redirecting stderr to stdout is our standard fix for this issue so do that. A non-zero result code will let us know that something has gone wrong.\n\n5) It appears that profiling is not supported on Alpine, which is pretty surprising. For now fix this by only unit testing the profiling code when coverage is enabled. This is not a great solution since we would rather test profiling on any system that supports it but for now this will do."

For example, if repo1-type=s3 and repo2-type=azure then the defaults for repo1-storage-upload-chunk-size and repo2-storage-upload-chunk-size will differ.\n\nHowever, getting the above right means we can no longer display defaults for options that are not valid in the current context. For instance, if repo1-type=posix then none of the repo1-s3-* options are valid and therefore their defaults are not displayed in help. In this case they don't have defaults and if you tried to set one of these options you would get an error."

This is not ideal due to the need to keep the duplicated structures in sync, but in practice these structures are almost never modified. Testing should catch any out of sync structures and this feature is valuable enough to keep even though in theory there could be memory safety issues. In practice the APIs prevent const objects from being used in an unsafe way and testing provides a fair assurance of safety. Writing to these consts would be a fatal error even if it did not cause a segfault.\n\nIdeally, we would be able to use warning suppression in these macros to avoid the extra struct, but due to the way they are used it is not possible to add the required pragmas (even using _Pragma).\n\nFinally this construction makes it obvious that something special is being done, rather than it being under the covers."

Multiple reads are required to make restores efficient when a list of bundled files is being read but blocks need to be retrieved from a separate file or a different part of the same file.\r\n\r\nImprove that situation with sessions that allow related commands to be run with shared state. Also break read/write into separate requests (rather than pushing all data at once) so they can be multiplexed.\r\n\r\nThe disadvantage for read/write is that they now require more back and forth to transfer a file. This is mitigated by sending asynchronous read/write requests to keep both server and client as busy as possible. Reads that can fit into a single buffer are optimized to transfer in a single command. Reads that transfer the entire file can also skip the close command since it is implicit on end-of-file.\r\n\r\nThese changes allow the protocol to be simplified to provide one response per request, which makes the data end message obsolete. Any data sent for the request is now added to the parameters so no data needs to be sent separately to the server outside the request parameters.\r\n\r\nAlso update the Db protocol to use the new sessions. Previously this code had tracked its own sessions."

        "body": "In bundle mode pgBackRest skips files of zero size, that is, it does not queue them for copying.\r\n\r\nAfter splitting the files into bundles, pgBackRest launches one or more processes that directly perform the backup, namely, read the files and, if necessary, write them to the bundles.\r\n\r\nIf during the time between the distribution of all files among bundles and the direct copying of a file to a bundle, this file of non-zero size was truncated to zero size (for example, when the table was truncated), then pgBackRest still unconditionally places such a zero-size file in the bundle, taking up space in it equal to the size of the headings, and additionally writes the original file size to the manifest.\r\n\r\nIn debug build an assertion was added, that does not allow zero-size files to be written to bundles, which leads to an error.\r\n\r\nTo solve the problem, this patch, when reading the next file, loads one buffer from the file to detect if it is zero-size. If so it marks the file as truncated and continues on to the next file.\r\n\r\nThe advantages of the solution are that, firstly, the assert will not fire on debug builds, and secondly, we will not place zero-size files in bundles, which exactly corresponds to the specification.\r\n\r\nThe patch adds the backupCopyResultTruncate value to the BackupCopyResult enumeration to use it to indicate the result when a non-zero size file is truncated to zero size during the backup process."

        "body": "5314dbf aimed to make nested Wait objects more accurate with regard to wait time but it also got rid of the \"bonus\" retry that was implicit in the prior implementation. This meant that if an operation used up the entire allotted timeout, it would not be retried. Object stores especially are noisy places and some amount of retry should always be attempted. So even though removing the \"bonus\" retry was intended, it turned out not to be a good idea.\r\n\r\nInstead of an implicit retry, formalize two retries in the Wait object even if the wait time has expired. Any number of retries are allowed during the wait period. Also remove waitRemaining() since it is no longer needed.\r\n\r\nAdjust tests as needed to account for the extra timeouts.\r\n\r\nNote that there may still be an underlying issue here that is simply being masked by retries. That is, the issue expressing was that waiting for a socket to be writable was timing out and without a retry that caused a hard error. This patch does nothing to address the source of the write timeout and perhaps there is nothing we can do about it. It does seem similar to the write issue we had with our blocking TLS implementation, but it was never clear if that was a problem with TLS, the kernel, or a bug in pgBackRest itself. It cropped up after a kernel update and we switched to non-blocking TLS to address the issue (c88684e)."

        "body": "It is currently possible for a block map to be written without any accompanying blocks. This happens when a file timestamp is updated but the file has not changed. On restore, this caused problems when encryption was enabled, the block map was bundled after a file that had been stored without block incremental, and both files were included in a single bundle read. In this case the block map would not be decrypted and the encrypted data was passed to blockMapNewRead() with unpredictable results. In many cases built-in retries would rectify this problem as long as delta was enabled since block maps would move to the beginning of the bundle read and be decrypted properly. If enough files were affected, however, it could overwhelm the retries and throw an error. Subsequent delta restores would eventually be able to produce a valid result.\r\n\r\nFix this by moving block map decryption so it works correctly no matter where the block map is located in the read. This has the additional benefit of limiting how far the block map can read so it will error earlier if corrupt. Though in this case there was no repository corruption involved, it appeared that way to blockMapNewRead() since it was reading encrypted data.\r\n\r\nArguably block maps without blocks should not be written at all, but it would be better to consider that as a separate change. This pattern clearly exists in the wild and needs to be handled, plus the new implementation has other benefits."

In this case, scan from the default position to the end of the data looking for a checksum match.

The proposed solution may work for backup, but pgBackRest needs to be able to read pg_control reliably outside of backup. So no matter what fix is adopted for PostgreSQL, pgBackRest need retries. Further adjustment may be required as the PostgreSQL fix evolves.\r\n\r\n[1] https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/20221123014224.xisi44byq3cf5psi%40awork3.anarazel.de"

This works and is mostly negligible except when wait loops are nested, in which case outer loops will always run twice even if an inner loop times out, which has a multiplying effect. For example, three nested wait loops with a timeout of three seconds will result in the inner loop being run four times (for a total of twelve seconds) even if it times out each time.\n\nInstead make waitMore() stop exactly when time is up. This makes more sense because a complete failure and timeout of an inner loop means retrying an outer loop is probably a waste of time since that inner loop will likely continue to fail.\n\nAlso make waitRemaining() recalculate the remaining time rather than depending on the prior result.\n\nSome tests needed to be adjusted to take into account there being one less loop. In general this led to a simplification of the tests.\n\nReinit a begin value in the wait unit tests. This is not related to the current change but it does make the time measurements more accurate and less likely to fail on an edge case, which has been observed from time to time.\n\nThis change appears to have a benefit for test runtime, which seems plausible especially for nested waits, but a larger sample of CI runs are needed to be sure."

        "subject": "Fix spurious automatic delta backup on backup from standby.",
        "body": "When performing backup from standby the file sizes on the standby may not be equal to file sizes on the primary. This is because replication continues during the backup and by the time the file is copied from the standby it may have changed. Since we cap the size of all files copied from the standby this practically applies to truncation and in particular truncation of free space maps (at least, every case we have seen so far is an fsm). Free space maps are especially vulnerable since they are only partially replicated, which amplifies the difference between the primary and standby.\r\n\r\nOn an incremental backup it may look like the size has changed on the primary (because of the final size recorded by the standby in the prior backup) but the timestamp may not have changed on the primary and this will trigger a checksum delta for safety. While this has no impact on backup integrity, checksum delta incrementals can run much longer than regular incrementals and backup schedules may be impacted.\r\n\r\nThe solution is to preserve the original size in the manifest and use it to do the time/size check. In the case of backup from standby the original size will always be the size on the primary, which makes comparisons against subsequent file sizes on the primary consistent. Original size is only stored in the manifest when it differs from final size, so there should not be any noticeable manifest bloat."

        "body": "It was possible for block incremental info to be lost if a file had been modified in such a way that block incremental would be disabled if the file were new, e.g. if the file shrank below the block incremental limit or the file timestamp regressed far enough into the past. In those cases the block incremental info would not be copied in manifestBuildIncr().\r\n\r\nInstead always copy the block incremental info in case the file ends up being referenced to a prior backup.\r\n\r\nThe validation tests were not robust enough to catch this issue so they were improved in 1d42aed.\r\n\r\nIn the particular case that exposed this bug, a file had a timestamp that was almost four weeks in the past at full backup time. A few days later a fail over occurred and the next incremental ran on the new primary (old standby) in delta mode. The same file had a timestamp just a few hours older than in the full backup, but now four weeks older than the current backup. Block incremental was disabled for the file on initial manifest build because of its age, which meant the block incremental info was not copied into the new manifest. The delta then determined the file had not changed and referenced it to the full backup. On restore, the file appeared to be a normal file stored in a bundle but could not be decompressed because it was in fact a block incremental."

One way this could be useful is to store older files without super blocks or a map in the full backup and then build a map for them if the file gets modified in a diff/incr backup. This would require reading the file from the full backup to build the map but it would be more space efficient and we could make more intelligent decisions about block size. It would also be possible to change the block size even if one had already been selected in a prior backup.\r\n\r\nOmitting the block numbers makes the chunking unnecessary since there is now no way to make sense of the block list without the map. Also, we might want to build maps for unchunked block lists, i.e. files that were copied normally."

        "body": "Bug Fixes:\r\n\r\n* Remove the distinction between maps where super block size is equal to block size and maps where they are not. In practice, maps with equal blocks are now rare and most of the optimizations can be applied directly to super blocks where the blocks are equal. This fixes a bug where a map that was created with equal size blocks and then converted to differing block sizes would generate an invalid map.\r\n\r\n* Free reads during restore to avoid running out of file handles.\r\n\r\nImprovements:\r\n\r\n* Store super block sizes in the block map. This allows the final block size to be removed from the block list and provides a more optimal restore and better potential for analysis.\r\n\r\n* Always round the super block size up to the next block size. This makes the number of blocks per super block more predictable.\r\n\r\n* Allow super block sizes to be changed at will in the map. The first case for this is to store the reduced super block size required when the last super block is short but it could be used to dynamically change the super block size to optimize compression.\r\n\r\n* Store a block count rather than a list of blocks in a super block. Blocks must always be sequential, though there may be an offset to the first block in a super block. This saves 11-14% on space for checksum sizes 6-7.\r\n\r\n* In the case that all the blocks for a super block are present, and there is no offset, the block size is omitted."

This is made possible by parsing defines and types out of the header files and creating macros to rename the types. At the end of the version interface everything is undef'd. Another benefit is that the auto-generated interfaces can be static and included directly into postgres/interface.c.\r\n\r\nSince some code generation is now always required for tests, change --no-gen to --min-gen in test.pl.\r\n\r\nIt would also make sense to auto-generate the version defines in postgres/version.h, but that will be left for a future commit."

In addition, the mem context can be configured to track a single child context and/or allocation, which saves memory and is a common use case.\r\n\r\nAnother benefit is that Variants can own objects (e.g. KeyValue) that they encapsulate. All of this makes memory accounting simpler because mem contexts have names while allocations do not. No more memory is used than before since Variants and Strings still had to store the memory context they were originally allocated in so they could be easily freed.\r\n\r\nUpdate the String and Variant objects to use this new functionality. The custom strFree() and varFree() functions are no longer required and can now be a wrapper around objFree().\r\n\r\nLastly, this will allow strMove() and varMove() to be implemented and used in cases where strDup() and varDup() are being used to move a String or Variant to a new context.

Now that we have 100% unit test coverage (with expect log testing) the value of the integration expect tests seems minimal at best.\r\n\r\nBut they do cause numerous issues:\r\n\r\n- Maintenance of the expect code and replacements that are required to keep logs reproducible.\r\n- Even a trivial change can cause massive churn in the expect logs, e.g. d9088b2. These changes should be minutely audited but since the expect logs have little value now it is seldom worth the effort.\r\n- The OS version used to do expect testing (RHEL7) can only be used to test one version of PostgreSQL. This makes it hard to balance the PostgreSQL version testing between OS versions.\r\n- When a commit affects expect logs it is not clear (especially for new developers) how to regenerate them and our contributing guide is silent on the issue.\r\n\r\nThe goal is to migrate the integration tests to C and expect testing is not part of that plan. It seems best to get rid of them now."

In practice we have not seen these errors in production builds due to extensive coverage so it does not seem worth modifying the error to work without the context name.\n\nThis saves some memory, which is worthwhile, but the goal is to refactor Strings and Variants to have their own mem contexts and this change will prevent them from using more memory than they are now, along with other changes that will be coming later."

Reducing the number of files is a benefit on all file systems, but especially so on object stores such as S3 that have a high file creation cost. Another benefit is that zero-length files are only stored as metadata in the manifest.\r\n\r\nFiles are batched up to bundle-size and then compressed/encrypted individually and stored sequentially in the bundle. The bundle id and offset of each file is stored in the manifest so files can be retrieved randomly without needing to read the entire bundle. Files are ordered by timestamp descending when being assigned to bundles to reduce the amount of random access that needs to be done. The idea is that bundles with older files can be read in their entirety on restore and only bundles with newer files will get fragmented.\r\n\r\nBundles are a custom format with metadata stored in the manifest. Tar was considered but it is too limited a format, the major issue being that the size of the file must be known in advance and that is very contrary to how pgBackRest works, especially once we introduce page-level incremental backups.\r\n\r\nBundles are stored numbered in the bundle directory. Some files may still end up in pg_data if they are added after the backup is complete. backup_label is an example.\r\n\r\nCurrently, only the backup command works in batches. The restore and verify commands use the offsets to pull individual files out of the bundle. It seems better to finalize how this is going to work before optimizing the other commands. Even as is, this is a major step forward, and all commands function with bundling.\r\n\r\nOne caveat: resume is currently not supported when bundle is enabled."

There are a lot of zeroes in the data so it can be stored more efficiently by using base-128 varint encoding for the integers and storing the strings in the same allocation.\r\n\r\nThe downside is that the data needs to be unpacked in order to be used, but in most cases this seems fast enough (about 10% slower than before) except for saving the manifest, which is 10% slower up to 10 million files and then gets about 5x slower by 100 million (two minutes on my M1 Mac). Profiling does not show this slowdown so I wonder if this is related to the change in memory layout. Curiously, the function that increased most was jsonFromStrInternal(), which was not modified. That gives more weight to the idea that there is some kind of memory issue going on here and one hopes that servers would be less affected. Either way, they largest use cases we have seen are for about 6 million files so if we can improve that case I believe we will be better off.\r\n\r\nFurther analysis showed that most of the time was taken up writing the size and timestamp fields, which makes almost no sense. The same amount of time was used if they were hard-coded to 0, which points to some odd memory issue on the M1 architecture.\r\n\r\nThis change has been planned for a while, but the particular impetus at this time is that small file support requires additional fields that would increase manifest memory usage by about 20%, even if the feature is not used.\r\n\r\nNote that the Pack code has been updated to use the new varint encoder, but the decoder remains separate because it needs to fetch one byte at a time."

The problem was that if archiving was not functioning then the backup had to complete before the user found out, which could be a while if the database was large enough.\r\n\r\nAdd an archive check immediately after backup start so failures are reported earlier.\r\n\r\nThe trick is to determine which WAL to check. If the repo is new there may not be any WAL in it and pg_start_backup() will not switch the WAL segment if it is empty. These are both likely scenarios when setting up and/or testing pgBackRest.\r\n\r\nIf the WAL segment is switched by pg_start_backup(), then check the archive for the segment that was detected prior to backup start. This should be common on normal running clusters with regular activity. Note that this might not be the segment immediately prior to the backup start segment if WAL volume is high.\r\n\r\nIf pg_start_backup() did not switch the WAL then we can force a switch on PostgreSQL >= 9.3 by creating a restore point. In that case the WAL to check will be the backup start WAL. This is most likely to happen on idle systems, during testing, or immediately after a repo switch.\r\n\r\nAn advantage of this approach other than earlier notification is that the backup directory will not be created so no resume will be attempted on the next backup.\r\n\r\nNote that some additional churn was created in backup.c because the load of archive.info needs to be done earlier."

Previously this was limited by buffer size without a custom implementation, as was done for read/writing files.\r\n\r\nSome cruft from the Perl days was removed, specifically allowing NULL messages and stack traces. This is no longer possible in C.\r\n\r\nThere is room for improvement here, in particular locking down the allowed sequence of protocol messages and building a state machine to enforce it. This will be useful for resetting the protocol when it gets in a bad state."

This commit leaves the list in place in order to focus on the getopt_long() replacement, but cfgParseOption() could be replaced with a more efficient implementation that removes the need for optionList[].\r\n\r\nThis implementation also fixes an issue where invalid options were misreported in the error message if they only had one dash, e.g. -config.

The goal was to make the beta/rc period less painful because any CATALOG_VERSION_NO bump renders pgBackRest inoperative.\n\nThis worked, but in fact we'd rather be stricter about which CATALOG_VERSION_NO we accept when identifying a version of PostgreSQL. It is not just about identifying a major version, but making sure the build contains all the functions and catalogs we expect to make pgBackRest work correctly. It is better to reject early dev/beta/rc builds that may not work.\n\nSince 927d9adb was relatively recent the chance that this stricter checking will cause a problem seems minimal, so revert to checking CATALOG_VERSION_NO for every PostgreSQL version.\n\nLeave in place the code that pulls CATALOG_VERSION_NO from pg_control rather than the internal constant since the plan is still to allow catalog versions to \"float\" during the PostgreSQL beta/rc phase, which will be the subject of a future commit."

        "subject": "Add StringId type.",
        "body": "It is often useful to represent identifiers as strings when they cannot easily be represented as an enum/integer, e.g. because they are distributed among a number of unrelated modules or need to be passed to remote processes. Strings are also more helpful in debugging since they can be recognized without cross-referencing the source. However, strings are awkward to work with in C since they cannot be directly used in switch statements leading to less efficient if-else structures.\n\nA StringId encodes a short string into an integer so it can be used in switch statements but may also be readily converted back into a string for debugging purposes. StringIds may also be suitable for matching user input providing the strings are short enough.\n\nThis patch includes a sample of StringId usage by converting protocol commands to StringIds. There are many other possible use cases. To list a few:\n\n* All \"types\" in storage, filters. IO , etc. These types are primarily for identification and debugging so they fit well with this model.\n\n* MemContext names would work well as StringIds since these are entirely for debugging.\n\n* Option values could be represented as StringIds which would mean we could remove the functions that convert strings to enums, e.g. CipherType.\n\n* There are a number of places where enums need to be converted back to strings for logging/debugging purposes. An example is protocolParallelJobToConstZ. If ProtocolParallelJobState were defined as:\n\ntypedef enum\n{\n    protocolParallelJobStatePending = STRID5(\"pend\", ...),\n    protocolParallelJobStateRunning = STRID5(\"run\", ...),\n    protocolParallelJobStateDone = STRID5(\"done\", ...),\n} ProtocolParallelJobState;\n\nthen protocolParallelJobToConstZ() could be replaced with strIdToZ(). This also applies to many enums that we don't covert to strings for logging, such as CipherMode.\n\nAs an example of usage, convert all protocol commands from strings to StringIds."

See the command reference for details on which commands require the repository to be specified.\r\n\r\nNote that the repo option is not required when only repo1 is configured in order to maintain backward compatibility. However, the repo option is required when a single repo is configured as, e.g. repo2. This is to prevent command breakage if a new repository is added later.\r\n\r\nThe archive-push command will always push WAL to the archive in all configured repositories but backups will need to be scheduled individually for each repository. In many cases this is desirable since backup types and retention will vary by repository. Likewise, restores must specify a repository. It is generally better to specify a repository for restores that has low latency/cost even if that means more recovery time.

This was previously handled by the host-id option but now there is a specific option for each group, pg and repo. These remain internal until they can be fully tested with multi-repo support. They are fully tested for internal usage.\n\nRemove the ConfigDefineOption enum and use the ConfigOption enum instead. They are now equal since the indexed options (e.g. cfgOptRepoHost2) have been removed from ConfigOption.\n\nRemove the config/config test module and add required tests to the config/parse test module. Parsing is now the only way to load a config so this removes some redundancy.\n\nSplit new internal config structures and functions into a new header file, config.intern.h. More functions will need to be moved over from config.h but that will need to be done in a future commit to reduce churn.\n\nAdd repoIdx to repoIsLocal() and storageRepo*(). Multi-repository support requires that repo locality and storage be accessible by index. This allows, for example, multiple repos to be iterated in a loop. This could be done in a separate commit but doesn't seem worth it since the code is related.\n\nRemove the type parameter from storageRepoGet().

It's a bit hackish but it does seem to do the job without breaking the manifest format.\r\n\r\nUnsurprisingly this makes parsing about 50% slower but it's still more than fast enough. Parsing 10 million key/values takes about 6.5s for the old code and 10s for the new code. Since the value is used as JSON downstream we can reclaim most of this time by just passing the JSON value rather than making the callback reparse it. We'll save that for another commit, though."

Previously we waited until each part was acknowledged before starting on the processing (i.e. compression, etc.) of the next part.\r\n\r\nNow, the request for each part is sent while processing continues and the response is read just before sending the request for the next part. This asynchronous method allows us to continue processing while the S3 server formulates a response.\r\n\r\nTesting from outside AWS in a high-bandwidth, low-latency environment showed a 35% improvement in the upload time of 1GB files. The time spent waiting for multipart notifications was reduced by ~300% (this measurement included the final part which is not uploaded asynchronously).\r\n\r\nThere are still some possible improvements: 1) the creation of the multipart id could be made asynchronous when it looks like the upload will need to be multipart (this may incur cost if the upload turns out not to be multipart). 2) allow more than one async request (this will use more memory).\r\n\r\nA fair amount of refactoring was required to make the HTTP responses asynchronous. This may seem like overkill but having well-defined request, response, and session objects will also be advantageous for the upcoming HTTP server functionality.\r\n\r\nAnother advantage is that the lifecycle of an HttpSession is better defined. We only want to reuse sessions that complete the request/response cycle successfully, otherwise we consider the session to be in a bad state and would prefer to start clean with a new one. Previously, this required complex notifications to mark a session as \"successfully done\". Now, ownership of the session is passed to the request and then the response and only returned to the client after a successful response. If an error occurs anywhere along the way the session will be automatically closed by the object destructor when the request/response object is freed (depending on which one currently owns the session)."

This only got more complex when new compression formats were added.\n\nBecause the loop-generated matrix was so large, mosts tests were skipped for most option combinations following arcane logic which was nearly impossible to decipher even when reading the code, and completely impossible from the test.pl interface. As a consequence, important tests got excluded. For example, backup from standby was excluded for most versions of PostgreSQL because it was only run once per distro, against the latest version to be included in that distro.\n\nSimplify the tests by having a single run per PostgreSQL version and vary test parameters according to the capabilities of each version and the underlying distro. So, ZST testing is based on whether the distro supports ZST. Every test is run for each set of parameters based on the capabilities of the PostgreSQL version, e.g. backup from standby is not attempted on versions that don't support it.\n\nNote that since more tests are running the overall time to run the mock/all tests has increased by about 20-25%. Some time may be saved my removing tests that are adequately covered by unit tests but that should the subject of another commit. Another option would be to limit some non version-specific tests to a single, well defined version of PostgreSQL, .e.g the version that is run by expect tests, currently 9.6.\n\nThe motivation for this refactor is that new storage drivers are coming and the loop-generated test matrix simply was not up to the task of adding them.\n\nThe following is an example of the new test log (note longer runtime of each test):\n\nmodule=real, test=all, run=1, pg-version=10 (106.91s)\nmodule=real, test=all, run=1, pg-version=9.5 (151.09s)\nmodule=real, test=all, run=1, pg-version=9.2 (123.11s)\nmodule=real, test=all, run=1, pg-version=9.1 (129s)\n\nvs. the old test log (sub-second tests were skipped entirely):\n\nmodule=real, test=all, run=2, pg-version=10 (0.31s)\nmodule=real, test=all, run=3, pg-version=10 (0.26s)\nmodule=real, test=all, run=4, pg-version=10 (60.39s)\nmodule=real, test=all, run=1, pg-version=10 (69.12s)\nmodule=real, test=all, run=6, pg-version=10 (34s)\nmodule=real, test=all, run=5, pg-version=10 (42.75s)\nmodule=real, test=all, run=2, pg-version=9.5 (0.21s)\nmodule=real, test=all, run=3, pg-version=9.5 (0.21s)\nmodule=real, test=all, run=4, pg-version=9.5 (0.21s)\nmodule=real, test=all, run=5, pg-version=9.5 (0.26s)\nmodule=real, test=all, run=6, pg-version=9.5 (0.21s)\nmodule=real, test=all, run=1, pg-version=9.2 (72.78s)\nmodule=real, test=all, run=2, pg-version=9.2 (0.26s)\nmodule=real, test=all, run=3, pg-version=9.2 (0.31s)\nmodule=real, test=all, run=4, pg-version=9.2 (0.21s)\nmodule=real, test=all, run=5, pg-version=9.2 (0.21s)\nmodule=real, test=all, run=6, pg-version=9.2 (0.21s)\nmodule=real, test=all, run=1, pg-version=9.5 (88.41s)\nmodule=real, test=all, run=2, pg-version=9.1 (0.21s)\nmodule=real, test=all, run=3, pg-version=9.1 (0.26s)\nmodule=real, test=all, run=4, pg-version=9.1 (0.21s)\nmodule=real, test=all, run=5, pg-version=9.1 (0.31s)\nmodule=real, test=all, run=6, pg-version=9.1 (0.26s)\nmodule=real, test=all, run=1, pg-version=9.1 (72.4s)"

        "body": "The --repo-retention-full-type option allows retention of full backups based on a time period, specified in days.\r\n\r\nThe new option will default to 'count' and therefore will not affect current installations. Setting repo-retention-full-type to 'time' will allow the user to use a time period, in days, to indicate full backup retention. Using this method, a full backup can be expired only if the time the backup completed is older than the number of days set with repo-retention-full (calculated from the moment the 'expire' command is run) and at least one full backup meets the retention period. If archive retention has not been configured, then the default settings will expire archives that are prior to the oldest retained full backup. For example, if there are three full backups ending in times that are 25 days old (F1), 20 days old (F2) and 10 days old (F3), then if the full retention period is 15 days, then only F1 will be expired; F2 will be retained because F1 is not at least 15 days old."

However, this has caused problems for some users in the past (because they needed the WAL for other purposes) and with the new adhoc and time-based retention features, it was decided that the archives should remain until the threshold was met.

Command information may be added to the lock file to improve the accuracy of the reported command.\n\n* If the info command is run on a host that is not participating in the backup, e.g. a standby, then there will be no backup lock. This seems like a minor limitation since running info on the repo or primary host is preferred."

Testing in production environments that were prone to locking shows that the approach is promising and at the very least not a regression.\n\nThe main differences from the blocking version are the non-blocking connect() implementation and handling of WANT_READ/WANT_WRITE retries for all SSL*() functions.\n\nTimeouts in the tests needed to be increased because socket connect() and TLS SSL_connect() were not included in the timeout before. The tests don't run any slower, though. In fact, all platforms but Ubuntu 12.04 worked fine with the shorter timeouts."

        "body": "The storage driver requires two list functions to be implemented, list and infoList. But the former is a subset of the latter so implementing both in every driver is wasteful. The reason both exist is that in Posix it is cheaper to get a list of names than it is to stat files to get size, time, etc. In S3 these operations are equivalent.\n\nIntroduce storageInfoLevelType to determine the amount of information required by the caller. That way Posix can work efficiently and all drivers can return only the data required which saves some bandwidth. The storageList() and storageInfoList() functions remain in the storage interface since they are useful -- the only change is simplifying the drivers with no external impact.\n\nNote that since list() accepted an expression infoList() must now do so. Checking the expression is optional for the driver but can be used to limit results or save IO costs.\n\nSimilarly, exists() and pathExists() are just specialized forms of info() so adapt them to call info() instead."

        "body": "The major bottleneck was finding the memory allocation to be resized since it required a sequential search through a list.\n\nInstead, put the allocation header at the beginning of the allocation and return an offset to the user for their buffer. This allows us to use pointer arithmetic to get back to the allocation header quickly when resizing. A side effect is to make memFree() faster as well. The downside is we won't detect garbage pointers passed to memResize()/memFree(), which is also true for MemContext pointers.\n\nThe performance benefits can be pretty large in certain cases, in particular when loading and saving manifests. The following are the before and after performance tests on a 900K file manifest.\n\nBefore:\n\nrun 003 - manifestNewLoad()/manifestSave()\n    000.000s l0125 - generate manifest\n    183.411s l0236 -     101.2MB manifest generated with 900000 files\n    183.411s l0239 - load manifest\n    403.816s l0243 -     completed in 220405ms\n    403.816s l0245 -        check file total\n    403.816s l0248 - save manifest\n    670.217s l0253 -     completed in 266401ms\n    670.217s l0256 - find all files\n    671.263s l0266 -     completed in 1046ms\n\nAfter:\n\nrun 003 - manifestNewLoad()/manifestSave()\n    000.000s l0125 - generate manifest\n    007.730s l0236 -     101.2MB manifest generated with 900000 files\n    007.730s l0239 - load manifest\n    033.431s l0243 -     completed in 25701ms\n    033.431s l0245 -        check file total\n    033.431s l0248 - save manifest\n    057.755s l0253 -     completed in 24324ms\n    057.755s l0256 - find all files\n    058.689s l0266 -     completed in 934ms"

Normally, the stack is not used for this purpose and pushing/popping is a cheap operation. In the prior implementation most of the TRY...CATCH logic needed to be run even on success.\n\nOne bonus is that the binary is about 8% smaller after this change. Another benefit is that new contexts *must* be explicitly freed/discarded or an error will occur. See info/manifest.c for an example of where this is useful outside the standard macros."

This is probably only possible if the async process exits immediately, perhaps due to a chdir() failure. Set SIGCHLD back to default in the async process so waitpid() will work as expected.\n\nAlso update the comment on chdir() to more accurately reflect what is happening.\n\nFinally, add a test in certain debug builds to ensure the first fork exits very quickly. This only works when valgrind is not in use because valgrind makes forking so slow that it is hard to tell if the async process performed work or not (in the case that the second fork goes missing and the async process is a direct child)."

If this happened then the backup would error when restored.\n\nThe issue was that removing files from the manifest invalidated the pointers stored in the processing queues. When a file was removed, all the pointers shifted to the next file in the list, causing a file to be unprocessed. Since the unprocessed file was still in the manifest it would be saved with no checksum, causing a failure on restore.\n\nWhen process-max was > 1 then the bug would often not express since the file had already been pulled from the queue and updates to the manifest are done by name rather than by pointer."

For instance, NULL == 0 must be true but neither NULL nor 0 must be represented with all zero bits.\n\nInstead use designated initializers to initialize structs. These guarantee that struct members will be properly initialized even if they are not specified in the initializer. Note that due to a quirk in the C99 specification at least one member must be explicitly initialized even if it needs to be the default value.\n\nSince pre-zeroed memory is no longer required, adjust memAllocInternal()/memReallocInternal() to return raw memory and update dependent functions accordingly. All instances of memset() have been removed except in debug/test code where needed.\n\nAdd memNewPtrArray() to allocate an array of pointers and automatically set all pointers to NULL.\n\nRename memGrowRaw() to the more logical memResize()."

The Perl code tried to set ownership as it was in the manifest even when running as an unprivileged user. This usually just led to errors and frustration.\n\nThe C code works like this:\n\nIf a restore is run as a non-root user (the typical scenario) then all files restored will belong to the user/group executing pgBackRest. If existing files are not owned by the executing user/group then an error will result if the ownership cannot be updated to the executing user/group. In that case the file ownership will need to be updated by a privileged user before the restore can be retried.\n\nIf a restore is run as the root user then pgBackRest will attempt to recreate the ownership recorded in the manifest when the backup was made. Only user/group names are stored in the manifest so the same names must exist on the restore host for this to work. If the user/group name cannot be found locally then the user/group of the PostgreSQL data directory will be used and finally root if the data directory user/group cannot be mapped to a name."

Use a similar method for save to avoid having an intermediate copy. Save is a bit complex because sections/keys must be written in alpha order or older versions of pgBackRest will not calculate the correct checksum.\n\nAlso move the load retry logic to helper functions rather than embedding it in the Info object. This allows for more flexibility in loading and ensures that stack traces will be available when developing unit tests."

This will continue to be true until the Perl storage interface is retired at the end of the C migration.\n\nNote that for reasonable numbers of tables there is no detectable difference.

Add the DEBUG_COVERAGE flag to build a modified version of the macros without any internal branches to be used for coverage testing. In most cases, the branches were optimizations (like checking logWill()) that improve production performance but are not needed for testing. In other cases, a parameter needed to be added to the underlying function to handle the branch during coverage testing.\n\nAlso tweak the coverage rules so that macros without conditionals are automatically excluded from branch coverage as long as they are not themselves a parameter.\n\nFinally, update tests and code where missing coverage was exposed by these changes.

Unit testing caught production-level errors but there were a lot of small issues and the process was harder than it should have been.\n\nUse void pointers instead so that no casts are required. Introduce the THIS_VOID and THIS() macros to make dealing with void pointers a little safer.\n\nSince we don't want to expose void pointers in header files, driver functions have been removed from the headers and the various driver objects return their interface type. This cuts down on accessor methods and the vast majority of those functions were not being used. Move functions that are still required to .intern.h.\n\nRemove the special \"C\" crypto functions that were used in libc and instead use the standard interface."

This descriptor was subsequently closed and wackiness ensued.\n\nIf logging was enabled (the default) that increased all the file descriptors by one and everything worked.\n\nFix this by checking if the file descriptor to be closed is the same one being dup'd into.

In a busy environment this could mean tens or hundreds of thousands of files.\n\nAnother issue was that the error files could not be written until a list of WAL files to process had been generated. This was easy enough for archive-get but archive-push requires more processing and any errors that happened when generating the list would only be reported in the pgBackRest log rather than the PostgreSQL log.\n\nInstead write a global.error file that applies to any WAL file that does not have an explicit ok or error file.

In the case of multiple status files, a warning will be logged to alert the user that something unusual is happening and the command will be retried."

        "body": "After a file is copied during backup the size is requested from the storage in case it differs from what was written so that repo-size can be reported accurately. This is useful for situations where compression is being done by the filesystem (e.g. ZFS) and what is stored can differ in size from what was written.\n\nIn S3 the reported size will always be exactly what was written so there is no need to check the size and doing so immediately can cause problems because the new file might not appear in list commands. This has not been observed on S3 (though it seems to be possible) but it has been reported on the Swift S3 gateway.\n\nAdd a driver capability to determine if size needs to be called after a file is written and if not then simply use the number of bytes written for repo-size."

This requires a deeper inspection of pg_control than has been done in the past, so it seemed best to copy the relevant data structures from each version of PostgreSQL and build a generic interface layer to address them. While this approach is a bit verbose, it has the advantage of being relatively simple, and can easily be updated for new versions of PostgreSQL.\n\nSince the integration tests generate pg_control files for testing, teach Perl how to generate files with the correct offsets for both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures."

This allows them to handle secrets because they will not pass values to subprocesses as parameters. Instead, each subprocess is expected to check the environment directly during configuration parsing.\n\nIn passing, move the error about secrets being passed on the command-line up to command-line parsing and make the error more generic with respect to the configuration file now that multiple configuration files are allowed."

They verified the contents of a table in the (supposedly) restored tablespace, deleted the table, and then deleted the tablespace. All of this was deemed sufficient to prove that the tablespace had been restored correctly and was valid.\n\nHowever, PostgreSQL will happily recreate a tablespace on the basis of a single full-page write, at least in the affected versions. Since writes to the test table were replayed from WAL with each recovery, all the tests passed even though the tablespace was missing after the restore.\n\nThe tests have been updated to include direct comparisons against the file system and a new table that is not replayed after a restore because it is created before the backup and never modified again.\n\nVersions ≥ 9.0 were not affected due to numerous synthetic integration tests that verify backups and restores file by file."

Previously protocol-timeout was set as db-timeout + 30 seconds.\n* Failure to shutdown remotes at the end of the backup no longer throws an exception. A warning is still generated that recommends a higher protocol-timeout."

Previously it was possible for a command to use an option that was not explicitly assigned to it. This was especially true for the backup-host and db-host options which are used to determine locality."

The new spool-path option can be used to define a location for queueing WAL segments when archiving asynchronously. Otherwise, a local repository is no longer required.\n\n* Implemented a new config format which should be far simpler to use. See the User Guide and Configuration Reference for details but for a simple configuration all options can now be placed in the stanza section. Options that are shared between stanzas can be placed in the [global] section. More complex configurations can still make use of command sections though this should be a rare use case.\n\n* The default configuration filename is now pgbackrest.conf instead of pg_backrest.conf. This was done for consistency with other naming changes but also to prevent old config files from being loaded accidentally.\n\n* The default repository name was changed from /var/lib/backup to /var/lib/pgbackrest.\n\n* Lock files are now stored in /tmp/pgbackrest by default. These days /run/pgbackrest would be the preferred location but that would require init scripts which are not part of this release. The lock-path option can be used to configure the lock directory.\n\n* Log files are now stored in /var/log/pgbackrest by default and no longer have the date appended so they can be managed with logrotate. The log-path option can be used to configure the lock directory.\n\n* Executable filename changed from pg_backrest to pgbackrest."
