This caused restore to replace files based on timestamp and size rather than overwriting, which meant some files that should have been updated were left unchanged. Normal restore and restore --delta were not affected by this issue.
Azure and Azure-compatible object stores can now be used for repository storage.
Currently only shared key authentication is supported but SAS will be added soon.
There is no need to have parallelism enabled in a backup control session. In particular, 9.6 marks pg_stop_backup() as parallel-safe but an error will be thrown if pg_stop_backup() is run in a worker.
Test matrices were previously simplified for the mock/* tests (e.g. d4410611, d489eb87) but not for real/all since the rules for which tests would run with which options was extremely complex. This only got more complex when new compression formats were added.
Because 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.
Simplify 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.
Note 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.
The 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.
The following is an example of the new test log (note longer runtime of each test):
module=real, test=all, run=1, pg-version=10 (106.91s)
module=real, test=all, run=1, pg-version=9.5 (151.09s)
module=real, test=all, run=1, pg-version=9.2 (123.11s)
module=real, test=all, run=1, pg-version=9.1 (129s)
vs. the old test log (sub-second tests were skipped entirely):
module=real, test=all, run=2, pg-version=10 (0.31s)
module=real, test=all, run=3, pg-version=10 (0.26s)
module=real, test=all, run=4, pg-version=10 (60.39s)
module=real, test=all, run=1, pg-version=10 (69.12s)
module=real, test=all, run=6, pg-version=10 (34s)
module=real, test=all, run=5, pg-version=10 (42.75s)

The unsupported version error is showing up on older versions of PostgreSQL (e.g. 9.1, 9.2) on RHEL6 when setting up a standby with streaming replication. The error occurs when a client does not properly send a version number and it's not clear why it is happening here, but it does not appear to have anything to do with pgBackRest and only affects RHEL6, i.e. 9.1 and 9.2 do not show this error on other distros.
For now ignore the error since RHEL6 is nearly EOL.
There is no sense in generating detailed coverage reports in CI environments where they will never be seen. It takes time and format differences in some older versions can cause problems in the report generation code.
Note that missing coverage will still be reported on stdout and the test will fail.
This aligns better with general PostgreSQL usage and our own documentation (updated in 4bcef702).
Usage in the backup.manifest tests has not been updated since it might break the file format.
There don't appear to be any behavioral changes since PostgreSQL 12 and all the tests pass.
Changes to the control/catalog/WAL versions in subsequent betas may break compatibility but pgBackRest will be updated with each release to keep pace.
Vendorized code is copied from another project when a library is not available and a git subproject won't work. Currently all the vendorized code is copied from PostgreSQL but it makes sense to have a more general mechanism for indicating vendorized code.
The .vendor extension will be used to denote vendorized code in the same way that .auto is used to denote auto-generated code.
Rather than bS3 use strStorage which can indicate more than two storage types.
For the moment there are still only two storage types but this change is required before more can be added.
These tests required sudo to achieve complete coverage.
Add a new coverage exception, vm_covered, that applies to code that can only be covered in a container. When the test is run outside of a container code sections that require a container will be excluded with TEST_CONTAINER_REQUIRED and the coverage exception will be added to prevent a coverage error.
This does require marking up the core code with vm_covered, which in some modules (e.g. common/io/tls/client) can be extensive. It's possible that some of these tests can be rewritten to be less dependent on sudo but no attempt was made to do that here.
Only allow coverage summaries in a vm since coverage summaries outside a vm will not be complete, which was true even before this commit.
Newer versions of sudo output this message to stderr when run in a container:
sudo: setrlimit(RLIMIT_CORE): Operation not permitted
See https://github.com/sudo-project/sudo/issues/42 for details.
A simple workaround is to prevent sudo from disabling core dumps. This seems safe enough because if sudo is segfaulting then core files are the least of our worries.
There are a number of Valgrind errors on Ubuntu 12.04 which do not happen on newer distro versions. However, suppressions for these errors have masked legitimate issues in subsequent code.
Instead, make suppressions VM specific so errors in other VMs are not masked.
bzip2 is a widely available, high-quality data compressor. It typically compresses files to within 10% to 15% of the best available techniques (the PPM family of statistical compressors), while being around twice as fast at compression and six times faster at decompression.
bzip2 is currently available on all supported platforms.
Zstandard is a fast lossless compression algorithm targeting real-time compression scenarios at zlib-level and better compression ratios. It's backed by a very fast entropy stage, provided by Huff0 and FSE library.
Zstandard version >= 1.0 is required, which is generally only available on newer distributions.
Previously when retention-archive was set (either by the user or by default), archives prior to the archive-start of the oldest remaining full backup (after backup expiration occurred) would be expired even though the retention-archive threshold had not been met. For example, if there were 1 full backup remaining after backup expiration and the retention-archive was set to 2 and retention-archive-type=full, then archives prior to the archive-start of the remaining full backup would still be removed even though retention-archive required 2 full backups remaining before archives should be expired.
The thought was to keep the archive directory clean and since the full backup did not require prior archives, it was safe to delete them. 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. The archives will eventually be removed and if having them causes space issues, the expire command and the retention-archive can always be run and adjusted.
The specified backup set (i.e. the backup label provided and all of its dependent backups, if any) will be expired regardless of backup retention rules except that at least one full backup must remain in the repository.
Allows casting const-ness away from an expression, but doesn't allow changing the type. Enforcement of the latter currently only works for gcc-like compilers.
Note that it is not safe to cast const-ness away if the result will ever be modified (it would be undefined behavior). Doing so can cause compiler mis-optimizations or runtime crashes (by modifying read-only memory). It is only safe to use when the result will not be modified, but API design or language restrictions prevent you from declaring that (e.g. because a function returns both const and non-const variables).
Note that this only works in function scope, not for global variables (it would be nice, but not trivial, to improve that).
UNCONSTIFY() requires static assert which is a feature in its own right.
This functionality was embedded into TlsClient but that was starting to get unwieldy.
Add SocketClient to contain all socket-related client functionality.
If the tests are running quickly then the time target might end up the same as the end time of the prior full backup. That means restore auto-select will not pick it as a candidate and restore the last backup instead causing the restore compare to fail.
So, sleep one second.
Decisions about when to optimize or enable debug code were spread out in too many places making it hard to keep them consistent.
Centralize the logic as much as possible to make it easier to maintain.
In the ExpireEnvTest.pm backupCreate() function, backup-prior was incorrectly set for diff backups to the previous backup regardless of what backup type the previous backup was. This did not cause any issues in the Mock Expire tests before because it was not being checked. However, in order to reduce churn in the expect logs for a new feature where the backup-prior is utilized, this is being fixed so that the full backup is always used as backup-prior.
* Fix a few issues with file names being truncated introduced in 787d3fd6.
* Use function line info from the lcov file to calculate which lines to show for uncovered functions. This is more accurate than what we were doing before and function comment headers are now excluded which reduces clutter in the report.
The old coverage data has been recorded so it is no longer needed. In newer versions of gcc leaving this file around can lead to an error when writing profile data after forking off to a non-pgbackrest binary (which we do in some unit tests).
* Show all uncovered branch parts even when there are more than two parts per branch. This is the way gcc9 reports coverage so it needs to work even if it doesn't make as much sense as the old way.
* Show covered branches in functions where coverage is missing. Showing just the uncovered branches can be confusing because it's not always clear how the coverage relates to the code. By showing all branch coverage (+ or -) this correspondence is made easier.
We don't report branch coverage on test modules (e.g. test/src/module/common/errorTest.c) but the code that excluded branch coverage from the test module would also exclude it from all core modules if the test module was included in the lcov report due to lack of function/line coverage.
Adjust the coverage code to only exclude branches during the extraction of test module coverage.
For some reason gcc9 would not do -O0 builds in combination with one of the options that libperl required. Now that libperl is gone this exception is no longer required.
When multiple files were missing coverage it could be hard to locate the coverage report for a specific file.
Add links for uncovered files to make this easier.
Also move table titles out of the table so they are valid html.
These results were stored in the vagrant path along with a full copy of src.
Instead store the raw coverage data in test/result/raw and change source references to the files that already exist in [test-path]/repo.
It makes more sense to build in the test path since many developers won't have a vagrant path. Anyway, it's better not to modify the vagrant path since it belongs to vagrant.
Instead of installing the binary just mount it into the container from where it was built. This saves a bit of time and space.
