Peter Eisentraut 686db12de3 Fix an issue in PostgreSQL::Test::Cluster:psql()
Due to the commit c5385929 which made all Perl warnings to fatal, use
of PostgreSQL::Test::Cluster:psql() and safe_psql() with timeout
started to fail with the following error:

Use of uninitialized value $ret in bitwise and (&) at
..src/test/perl/PostgreSQL/Test/Cluster.pm line 2015.

Fix that by placing $ret conversion code in psql() in an if (defined
$ret) block.

With this change, the behavior of psql() becomes same as before, that
is, the whole function returns undef on timeout, which is usefully
different from returning 0.

Peter Eisentraut c538592959 Make all Perl warnings fatal
There are a lot of Perl scripts in the tree, mostly code generation
and TAP tests.  Occasionally, these scripts produce warnings.  These
are probably always mistakes on the developer side (true positives).
Typical examples are warnings from genbki.pl or related when you make
a mess in the catalog files during development, or warnings from tests
when they massage a config file that looks different on different
hosts, or mistakes during merges (e.g., duplicate subroutine
definitions), or just mistakes that weren't noticed because there is a
lot of output in a verbose build.

This changes all warnings into fatal errors, by replacing

    use warnings;

by

    use warnings FATAL => 'all';

in all Perl files.

Tom Lane da44ff312e Set readline-relevant ENV vars in interactive_psql(), not caller.
Commit 664d75753 pulled 010_tab_completion.pl's infrastructure for
invoking an interactive psql session out into a generally-useful test
function, but it didn't move enough stuff.  We need to set up various
environment variables that readline will look at, both to ensure
stability of test results and to prevent test actions from cluttering
the calling user's ~/.psql_history.  Expecting calling scripts to
remember to do that is too failure-prone: the other existing caller
001_password.pl did not do it.  Hence, remove those initialization
steps from 010_tab_completion.pl and put them into interactive_psql().
Since interactive_psql was already making a local ENV hash, this has
no effect on calling scripts.

Michael Paquier c161ab74f7 Add PostgreSQL::Test::Cluster::advance_wal
This is a function that makes a node jump by N WAL segments, which is
something a couple of tests have been relying on for some cases related
to streaming, replication slot limits and logical decoding on standbys.
Hence, this centralizes the logic, while making it cheaper by relying on
pg_logical_emit_message() to emit WAL records before switching to a new
segment.

Robert Haas dc21234005 Add support for incremental backup.
To take an incremental backup, you use the new replication command
UPLOAD_MANIFEST to upload the manifest for the prior backup. This
prior backup could either be a full backup or another incremental
backup.  You then use BASE_BACKUP with the INCREMENTAL option to take
the backup.  pg_basebackup now has an --incremental=PATH_TO_MANIFEST
option to trigger this behavior.

An incremental backup is like a regular full backup except that
some relation files are replaced with files with names like
INCREMENTAL.${ORIGINAL_NAME}, and the backup_label file contains
additional lines identifying it as an incremental backup. The new
pg_combinebackup tool can be used to reconstruct a data directory
from a full backup and a series of incremental backups.

the ->restart method to accept a fail_ok parameter like how ->start and
->stop does, and changes the SSL tests to use this instead. This removes
the need to call internal test module functions.

Andres Freund 252dcb3239 Use "template" data directory in tests
When running all (or just many) of our tests, a significant portion of both
CPU time and IO is spent running initdb. Most of those initdb runs don't
specify any options influencing properties of the created data directory.

Avoid most of that overhead by creating a "template" data directory, alongside
the temporary installation. Instead of running initdb, pg_regress and tap
tests can copy that data directory. When a tap test specifies options to
initdb, the template data directory is not used. That could be relaxed for
some options, but it's not clear it's worth the effort.

There unfortunately is some duplication between pg_regress.c and Cluster.pm,
but there are no easy ways of sharing that code without introducing additional
complexity.

getprotobyname returns undefined on some CI machines.  It's not clear

In PostgreSQL C code, we always call socket() with 0 for the protocol

same as in C).  So do that, to avoid the issue.

Michael Paquier 392ea0c78f Refactor routine to find single log content pattern in TAP tests
The same routine to check if a specific pattern can be found in the
server logs was copied over four different test scripts.  This refactors
the whole to use a single routine located in PostgreSQL::Test::Cluster,
named log_contains, to grab the contents of the server logs and check
for a specific pattern.

On HEAD, the code previously used assumed that slurp_file() could not
handle an undefined offset, setting it to zero, but slurp_file() does
do an extra fseek() before retrieving the log contents only if an offset
is defined.  In two places, the test was retrieving the full log
contents with slurp_file() after calling substr() to apply an offset,
ignoring that slurp_file() would be able to handle that.

Backpatch all the way down to ease the introduction of new tests that
could rely on the new routine.

The randomization employed performs two levels of shuffling:

  1. The given hosts are randomly shuffled, before resolving them

  2. Once a host its addresses get resolved, the returned addresses

Andrew Dunstan 9b4eafcaf4 Prevent port collisions between concurrent TAP tests
Currently there is a race condition where if concurrent TAP tests both
test that they can open a port they will assume that it is free and use
it, causing one of them to fail. To prevent this we record a reservation
using an exclusive lock, and any TAP test that discovers a reservation
checks to see if the reserving process is still alive, and looks for
another free port if it is.

Ports are reserved in a directory set by the environment setting
PG_TEST_PORT_DIR, or if that doesn't exist a subdirectory of the top
build directory as set by meson or Makefile.global, or its own
tmp_check directory.

The prove_check recipe in Makefile.global.in is extended to export
top_builddir to the TAP tests. This was already exported by the
prove_installcheck recipes.

Per complaint from Andres Freund

This will be backpatched in due course after some testing.

John Naylor 4c1532763a Bump minimum Perl version to 5.14
The oldest vendor-shipped Perl in the buildfarm is 5.14.2, which is
the last version that Debian Wheezy shipped. That OS is EOL, but we
keep it running because there is no other convenient way to test certain
non-mainstream 32-bit platforms. There is no bugfix in the 5.14.2 release
that is required, and yet it's also not the latest minor release --
that would be 5.14.4. To clarify the situation, we have thus arranged the
buildfarm to test 5.14.0. That allows configure scripts and documentation
to state 5.14 without fine print.

The MSVC build didn't check the version, since our previous minimum 5.8.3
was considered too old to check for on Windows. We will need a check for
Windows sometime during the v16 cycle, but that could be rendered moot
by the impending Meson conversion, so it seems safe to just document
the requirement for now.

Exclusive-mode backups have been deprecated since 9.6 (when

they can cause should the system crash while one is running and
generally because non-exclusive provides a much better interface.
Further, exclusive backup mode wasn't really being tested (nor was most
of the related code- like being able to log in just to stop an exclusive
backup and the bits of the state machine related to that) and having to
possibly deal with an exclusive backup and the backup_label file
existing during pg_basebackup, pg_rewind, etc, added other complexities
that we are better off without.

This patch removes the exclusive backup mode, the various special cases
for dealing with it, and greatly simplifies the online backup code and

Robert Haas ad4f2c47de Make PostgreSQL::Test::Cluster::run_log() return a useful value.
Curently, some TAP test that directly call the underlying function
PostgreSQL::Test::Utils::run_log() care about the return value, but
none of those that call it via PostgreSQL::Test::Cluster::run_log() care.
However, I'd like to add a test that will care, so adjust this function
to return whatever it gets back from the underlying function, just as
we do for a number of other functions in this module.

Tom Lane 174877f1e3 Harden TAP tests that intentionally corrupt page checksums.
The previous method for doing that was to write zeroes into a
predetermined set of page locations.  However, there's a roughly
1-in-64K chance that the existing checksum will match by chance,
and yesterday several buildfarm animals started to reproducibly
see that, resulting in test failures because no checksum mismatch
was reported.

Since the checksum includes the page LSN, test success depends on
the length of the installation's WAL history, which is affected by
(at least) the initial catalog contents, the set of locales installed
on the system, and the length of the pathname of the test directory.
Sooner or later we were going to hit a chance match, and today is
that day.

Harden these tests by specifically inverting the checksum field and
leaving all else alone, thereby guaranteeing that the checksum is
incorrect.

In passing, fix places that were using seek() to set up for syswrite(),
a combination that the Perl docs very explicitly warn against.  We've
probably escaped problems because no regular buffered I/O is done on
these filehandles; but if it ever breaks, we wouldn't deserve or get
much sympathy.

Although we've only seen problems in HEAD, now that we recognize the
environmental dependencies it seems like it might be just a matter
of time until someone manages to hit this in back-branch testing.
Hence, back-patch to v11 where we started doing this kind of test.

The Config and Cwd modules were no longer used, but remained imported,
in a number of tests.  Remove to keep the imports to the actually used

Noah Misch f2698ea02c Introduce PG_TEST_TIMEOUT_DEFAULT for TAP suite non-elapsing timeouts.
Slow hosts may avoid load-induced, spurious failures by setting
environment variable PG_TEST_TIMEOUT_DEFAULT to some number of seconds
greater than 180.  Developers may see faster failures by setting that
environment variable to some lesser number of seconds.  In tests, write
$PostgreSQL::Test::Utils::timeout_default wherever the convention has
been to write 180.  This change raises the default for some briefer
timeouts.  Back-patch to v10 (all supported versions).

Tom Lane 4fdbf9af51 Tighten TAP tests' tracking of postmaster state some more.
Commits 6c4a8903b et al. had a couple of deficiencies:

* The logic I added to Cluster::start to see if a PID file is present
could be fooled by a stale PID file left over from a previous
postmaster.  To fix, if we're not sure whether we expect to find a
running postmaster or not, validate the PID using "kill 0".

* 017_shm.pl has a loop in which it just issues repeated Cluster::start
calls; this will fail if some invocation fails but leaves self->_pid
set.  Per buildfarm results, the above fix is not enough to make this
safe: we might have "validated" a PID for a postmaster that exits
immediately after we look.  Hence, match each failed start call with
a stop call that will get us back to the self->_pid == undef state.
Add a fail_ok option to Cluster::stop to make this work.

Tom Lane 6c4a8903b9 TAP tests: check for postmaster.pid anyway when "pg_ctl start" fails.
"pg_ctl start" might start a new postmaster and then return failure
anyway, for example if PGCTLTIMEOUT is exceeded.  If there is a
postmaster there, it's still incumbent on us to shut it down at
script end, so check for the PID file even though we are about
to fail.

This has been broken all along, so back-patch to all supported branches.

Tom Lane ed48e3582e Clean up TAP tests' usage of wait_for_catchup().
By default, wait_for_catchup() waits for the replication connection
to reach the primary's write LSN.  That's fine, but in an apparent
attempt to save one query round-trip, it was coded so that we
executed pg_current_wal_lsn() again during each probe query.
Thus, we presented the standby with a moving target to be reached.
(While the test script itself couldn't be causing the write LSN
to advance while it's blocked in wait_for_catchup(), it's plenty
plausible that background activity such as autovacuum is emitting
more WAL.)  That could make the test take longer than necessary,
and potentially it could mask bugs by allowing the standby to process
more WAL than a strict interpretation of the test scenario allows.
So, change wait_for_catchup() to do it "by the book", explicitly
collecting the write LSN to wait for at the outset.

Also, various call sites were instructing wait_for_catchup() to
wait for the standby to reach the primary's insert LSN rather than
its write LSN.  This also seems like a bad idea.  While in most
test scenarios those are the same, if they are different then the
inserted-but-not-yet-written WAL is not presently available to the
standby.  The test isn't doing anything to make it become so, so
again we have the potential for unwanted test delay, perhaps even
a test timeout.  (Again, background activity would be needed to
make this more than a hypothetical problem.)  Hence, change the
callers where necessary so that the wait target is always the
primary's write LSN.

While at it, simplify callers by making use of wait_for_catchup's
default arguments wherever possible (the preceding change makes
this possible in more places than it was before).  And rewrite
wait_for_catchup's documentation a bit.

Patch by me; thanks to Julien Rouhaud for review.
