This is only needed when new code is added to the Perl C library, which is becoming rare as the migration progresses.
Also, the code will vary slightly based on the Perl version used for generation so for normal users it is just noise.
Suggested by Stephen Frost.
A number of tests have been updated and Fedora 30 has been added to the test suite so the unit tests can run on gcc 9.
Stop running unit tests on co6/7 since we appear to have ample unit test coverage.
This tool was only being used it a few places but was a pretty large dependency.
Rework the forceStorageMove() code using our storage layer and replace one aws cli cp with a storage put.
Also, remove the Dockerfile that was once used to build the Scality S3 test container.
Now that our tests are more diversified it makes sense to load only the packages that are needed for each test.
Move the package loads from .travis.yaml to test/travis.pl where we have more control over what is loaded.
Note that building the manifest on each host has been temporarily removed.
This feature will likely be brought back as a non-default option (after the manifest code has been fully migrated to C) since it can be fairly expensive.
Check the backup.info file against the backup path. Add any backups that are missing and remove any backups that no longer exist.
It's important to run this before backup or expire to be sure we are using the most up-to-date list of backups.
Three major changes were required to get this working:
1) Provide the path to pgbackrest in the build directory when running outside a container. Tests in a container will continue to install and run against /usr/bin/pgbackrest.
1) Set a per-test lock path so tests don't conflict on the default /tmp/pgbackrest path. Also set a per-test log-path while we are at it.
2) Use localhost instead of a custom host for TLS test connections. Tests in containers will continue to update /etc/hosts and use the custom host.
Add infrastructure and update harnessCfgLoad*() to get the correct exe and paths loaded for testing.
Since new tests are required to verify that running outside a container works, also rework the tests in Travis CI to provide coverage within a reasonable amount of time. Mainly, break up to doc tests by VM and run an abbreviated unit test suite on co6 and co7.
Recovery settings are now written into postgresql.auto.conf instead of recovery.conf. Existing recovery_target* settings will be commented out to help avoid conflicts.
A comment is added before recovery settings to identify them as written by pgBackRest since it is unclear how, in general, old settings will be removed.
recovery.signal and standby.signal are automatically created based on the recovery settings.
The additional details include databases that can be used for selective restore and a list of tablespaces and symlinks with their default destinations.
This information is not included in the JSON output because it requires reading the manifest which is too IO intensive to do for all manifests. We plan to include this information for JSON in a future release.
Scaling allows the starting values to be increased from the command-line without code changes.
Also suppress valgrind and assertions when running performance testing. Optimization is left at -O0 because we should not be depending on compiler optimizations to make our code performant, and it makes profiling more informative.
bsearch() is far more efficient than an iterative approach except in the most trivial cases.
For now insert will reset the sort order to none and the list will need to be resorted before bsearch() can be used. This is necessary because item pointers are not stable after a sort, i.e. they can move around. Until lists are stable it's not a good idea to surprise the caller by mixing up their pointers on insert.
PostgreSQL 12 will shutdown in these cases which seems to be the correct action (according to the documentation) when hot_standby = off, but older versions are promoting instead. Set target_action explicitly so all versions will behave the same way.
This does beg the question of whether the PostgreSQL 12 behavior is wrong (though it matches the docs) or the previous versions are.
Separate the generation of recovery values and formatting them into recovery.conf format. This is generally a good idea, but also makes the code ready to deal with a different recovery file in PostgreSQL 12.
Also move the recovery file logic out of cmdRestore() into restoreRecoveryWrite().
This restore type automatically adds standby_mode=on to recovery.conf.
This could be accomplished previously by setting --recovery-option=standby_mode=on but PostgreSQL 12 requires standby mode to be enabled by a special file named standby.signal.
The new restore type allows us to maintain a common interface between PostgreSQL versions.
For the most part this is a direct migration of the Perl code into C.
There is one important behavioral change with regard to how file permissions are handled. 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.
The C code works like this:
If 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.
If 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.

This macro displays a title for each test. A test frequently has multiple parts and it was hard to tell which subparts went together. We used ad hoc indentation to do this.
Anything that is a not a title is automatically indented so manually indenting is not longer needed. This should make the tests and the test output easier to read.
These macros encapsulate the functionality provided by direct calls to harnessLogResult() and system(). They both have _FMT() variants.
The primary advantage is that {[path]}, {[user]}, and {[group]} will be replaced with the test path, user, and group respectively. This saves a log of strNewFmt() calls and makes the tests less noisy.
The backup manifest stores a complete list of all files, links, and paths in a backup along with metadata such as checksums, sizes,
timestamps, etc. A list of databases is also included for selective restore.
The purpose of the manifest is to allow the restore command to confidently reconstruct the PostgreSQL data directory and ensure that
nothing is missing or corrupt. It is also useful for reporting, e.g. size of backup, backup time, etc.
For now, migrate enough functionality to implement the restore command.

cfgExecParam() was originally written to provide options for remote processes. Remotes processes do not have access to the local config so it was necessary to pass every non-default option.
Local processes on the other hand, e.g. archive-get, archive-get-async, archive-push-async, and local, do have access to the local config and therefore don't need every parameter to be passed on the command-line. The previous way was not wrong, but it was overly verbose and did not align with the way Perl had worked.
Update cfgExecParam() to accept a local option which excludes options from the command line which can be read from local configs.
strPathAbsolute() generates an absolute path from an absolute base path and an absolute/relative path.
strLstRemoveIdx() is a support function based on lstRemoveIdx().
In general we don't care about path and link times since they are easily recreated when restoring.
So, outside of storageInfo() we don't need to bother testing them.
Loading jobs in advance uses a lot of memory in the case that there are millions of jobs to be performed. We haven't seen this yet, but with backup and restore on the horizon it will become the norm.
Instead, use a callback so that jobs are only created as they are needed and can be freed as soon as they are completed.
These features finally make the ls command practical.
Currently the JSON contains only name, type, and size. We may add more fields in the future, but these seem like the minimum needed to be useful.
