In offline mode the pg_wal directory is copied, but that is not the same as archive-copy, which copies the exact set of WAL required from the archive.
This flag is purely for informational purposes so there is no live bug here, but the prior behavior was certainly misleading.
For PITR with --type=lsn, attempt to auto-select the appropriate backup set based on the --target LSN provided. Pick the most recent backup where backup-lsn-stop is less than or equal to the provided LSN.
The unit tests were ignoring stderr but nothing being output there was important. Now a test will fail if there is anything on stderr.
This makes it easier to work with -fsanitize, which outputs to stderr.
This was left unaligned on purpose to save space but the sanitizer did not like it. Since this field is seldom used go ahead and align it to make the sanitizer happy.
Also add some macros to make working with alignment easier.
Found with -fsanitize=undefined.
The manifest test module was setting a blank value here and causing a stack overflow because memcpy() is used instead of strcpy().
This was really just a test issue but add an assert just in case the same were to happen in production code.
Also update a bogus checksum in the integration tests to the correct length to avoid running afoul of the assert.
Found with -fsanitize=address.
If a variable assigned with STRDEF() is referenced out of scope of the STRDEF() assignment then the value is undefined.
Luckily most of the instances are in tests but there is one in the core code. It is not clear if this is a live bug or not but it certainly needs to be fixed.
Found with -fsanitize=address.
If the value and multiplier were large enough then the return value could overflow unpredictably.
Check the value to make sure it will not overflow with the current multiplier.
It would be better to present an "out of range" error to the user rather than "is not valid" but it doesn't seem worth the effort since the error is extremely unlikely.
Found with -fsanitize=undefined.
It is possible that a file will be be truncated to zero-length after the backup manifest has been built. We could build logic into backupFile() to handle this case but it is hard to test well because of the race condition so tests would need to written directly against backupFile() and backupJobResult(). It hardly seems worth all that effort for a condition that occurs rarely, if ever.
Instead just remove the manifest check and add tests to restore to make sure it handles bundled zero-length files correctly. Logging will show that the file was bundled so if it happens a lot (which seems very unlikely) then we can think about an alternate implementation.
This rule was added because there were not sufficient tests to demonstrate that the repo-hardlink option could be changed in a backup set.
Remove the restriction and add/update tests to show that it works.
This is necessary now because bundling requires that hardlinking be disabled. Rather than add code complexity, it seems better just to address this limitation.
Check for invalid path in repo-* commands. Perform path validation and throw an error when appropriate. Path may not contain '//'. Strip trailing '/' from path. Absolute path must fall under repo path.
IMDSv2 provides additional security to prevent instance metadata from being read by an attacker.
All AWS instances should provide IMDSv2 but still fail back to IMDSv1 if the IMDSv2 token request fails. This is in case there are any services outside AWS that are emulating IMDSv1 but have not implemented IMDSv2.
It seems best for these to be repo options so they can be configured per repo, rather than globally.
All clarify usage for repo-bundle-size and repo-bundle-limit.
Since files are stored sequentially in a bundle, it is often possible to restore multiple files with a single read. Previously, each restored file required a separate read. Reducing the number of reads is particularly beneficial for object stores, but performance should benefit on any file system.
Currently if there is a gap then a new read is required. In the future we might set a limit for how large a gap we'll skip without starting a new read.
Improve the stop command, when force and stanza options are specified, to terminate only processes holding lock files for the given stanza. Prior to these changes, termination of all processes holding lock files regardless of stanza occurred.
For very large backups only getting an update per percent may not be often enough.
Add hundredths to the percent complete logging to provide more timely information.
Checking percentage and size in every test can cause quite a bit of churn when changes are made.
Follow the example of the backup tests and replace percentage and size after the few tests to reduce churn.
These tests were written before the restore command was fully migrated to C so many of them have become redundant.
In the cases were they still provide coverage, add tests to synthetic restores to replace them. In general, these higher level tests provide better coverage than poking at the restoreFile() function directly.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Repository size reported by the info command is now entirely based on what pgBackRest has written to storage. Previously, in certain cases, pgBackRest could detect if additional compression was being applied by the storage but this is no longer supported.

Some TLS server implementations will simply close the socket rather than correctly closing the TLS connection. This causes problems when connection: close is specified with no content-length or chunked encoding and we are forced to read to EOF. It is hard to know if this is a real EOF or a network error.
In cases where we can parse the content and (hopefully) ensure it is correct, allow the closed socket to serve as EOF. This is not ideal, but the change in 8e1807c means that currently working servers with this issue will stop working after 2.35 is installed, which seems too risky.
da0f3a855 used a workaround to get the documentation building on aarch64 but recent changes to the PGDG yum repo have broken this workaround. Installing the regular way still doesn't work, either.
Reverting for now to get the CI pipeline working again.
This is a bit of legacy from the current Vagrant environment used to do the release, but since it is not as easy to change the user in Vagrant, just make the Docker environment conform.
This allows documentation to be built in a Vagrant environment (or any environment with the same user name) and to be deployed in a Docker environment.
Docker outputs build info to stderr even when the build is successful. This seems to be especially true on Mac M1.
ContainerTest.pm already does this suppression so add it the other places where containers are built.
Trailing slashes in at least some of the repository storage types were preventing repo-ls from displaying any content (presumably due to storage-specific behavior).
Since the path with the slash should be equivalent to the path without the slash, just remove it if provided by the user.
Checking that pd_upper == 0 is not enough since this field may be corrupted. Still use pd_upper as a quick check, but when it is zero proceed to check the rest of the page to ensure it is also all zeroes.
Rather than attempting to filter page checksum failures by LSN, just retry when there is a page checksum failure. If the page has not changed since the last read report it as an error. If the page has changed, then PostgreSQL must be modifying the page so we can ignore the error because a full page write (and possibly updates) will be in the WAL.
Also remove tests made redundant by the test merge in b4897077.
