Follow up to #12701, which introduced a new regression. When profiling
locally I noticed that writes have the tendency to always reallocate. On
investigation I found that even if the `Connection`'s write buffer is
empty, if it still shares the same data pointer as the `Client`'s write
buffer then the client cannot reclaim it.

The best way I found to fix this is to just drop the `Connection`'s
write buffer each time we fully flush it.

Additionally, I remembered that `BytesMut` has an `unsplit` method which
is allows even better sharing over the previous optimisation I had when
'encoding'.
We have a dedicated libs folder for proxy related libraries. Let's move
the subzero_core stub there.
## Problem

LKB-2502 The garbage collection of the project info cache is garbage. 

What we observed: If we get unlucky, we might throw away a very hot
entry if the cache is full. The GC loop is dependent on getting a lucky
shard of the projects2ep table that clears a lot of cold entries. The GC
does not take into account active use, and the interval it runs at is
too sparse to do any good.

Can we switch to a proper cache implementation?

Complications:
1. We need to invalidate by project/account.
2. We need to expire based on `retry_delay_ms`.

## Summary of changes

1. Replace `retry_delay_ms: Duration` with `retry_at: Instant` when
deserializing.
2. Split the EndpointControls from the RoleControls into two different
caches.
3. Introduce an expiry policy based on error retry info.
4. Introduce `moka` as a dependency, replacing our `TimedLru`.

See the follow up PR for changing all TimedLru instances to use moka:
#12726.
## Problem

The Dockerfile for build tools has some small issues that are easy to
fix to make it follow some of docker best practices

## Summary of changes

Apply some small quick wins on the Dockerfile for build tools

Document that the Pageserver gRPC port is accessible by computes, and
should not provide internal services.

Touches [LKB-191](https://databricks.atlassian.net/browse/LKB-191).
Verify that gRPC `GetPageRequest` has been sent to the shard that owns
the pages. This avoid spurious `NotFound` errors if a compute misroutes
a request, which can appear scarier (e.g. data loss).

…ciliations (#12745)

## Problem

We saw the following in the field:

Context and observations:
* The storage controller keeps track of the latest generations and the
pageserver that issued the latest generation in the database
* When the storage controller needs to proxy a request (e.g. timeline
creation) to the pageservers, it will find use the pageserver that
issued the latest generation from the db (generation_pageserver).
* pageserver-2.cell-2 got into a bad state and wasn't able to apply
location_config (e.g. detach a shard)

What happened:
1. pageserver-2.cell-2 was a secondary for our shard since we were not
able to detach it
2. control plane asked to detach a tenant (presumably because it was
idle)
a. In response storcon clears the generation_pageserver from the db and
attempts to detach all locations
b. it tries to detach pageserver-2.cell-2 first, but fails, which fails
the entire reconciliation leaving the good attached location still there
c. return success to cplane

3. control plane asks to re-attach the tenant
a. In response storcon performs a reconciliation
b. it finds that the observed state matches the intent (remember we did
not detach the primary at step(2))
c. skips incrementing the genration and setting the
generation_pageserver column

Now any requests that need to be proxied to pageservers and rely on the
generation_pageserver db column fail because that's not set

## Summary of changes

1. We do all non-essential location config calls (setting up
secondaries,
detaches) at the end of the reconciliation. Previously, we bailed out
of the reconciliation on the first failure. With this patch we attempt
all of the RPCs.
This allows the observed state to update even if another RPC failed for
unrelated reasons.

2. If the overall reconciliation failed, we don't want to remove nodes
from the
observed state as a safe-guard. With the previous patch, we'll get a
deletion delta to process, which would be ignored. Ignoring it is not
the right thing to do since it's out of sync with the db state.
Hence, on reconciliation failures map deletion from the observed state
to the uncertain state. Future reconciliation will query the node to
refresh their observed state.

Closes LKB-204
## Problem

Copy certificate and key from secret mount directory to `pgdata`
directory where `postgres` is the owner and we can set the key
permission to 0600.

## Summary of changes

- Added new pgparam `pg_compute_tls_settings` to specify where k8s
secret for certificate and key are mounted.
- Added a new field to `ComputeSpec` called `databricks_settings`. This
is a struct that will be used to store any other settings that needs to
be propagate to Compute but should not be persisted to `ComputeSpec` in
the database.
- Then when the compute container start up, as part of `prepare_pgdata`
function, it will copied `server.key` and `server.crt` from k8s mounted
directory to `pgdata` directory.

## How is this tested?

Add unit tests.

… compute instance (#12732)

## Problem

We need the set the following Postgres GUCs to the correct value before
starting Postgres in the compute instance:

```
databricks.workspace_url
databricks.enable_databricks_identity_login
databricks.enable_sql_restrictions
```

## Summary of changes

Plumbed through `workspace_url` and other GUC settings via
`DatabricksSettings` in `ComputeSpec`. The spec is sent to the compute
instance when it starts up and the GUCs are written to `postgresql.conf`
before the postgres process is launched.

LKB-2536 TimedLru is hard to maintain. Let's use moka instead. Stacked
on top of #12710.
## Problem
test_ps_unavailable_after_delete is flaky. All test failures I've looked
at are because of ERROR log messages in pageserver, which happen because
storage controller tries runs a reconciliations during the graceful
shutdown of the pageserver.

I wasn't able to reproduce it locally, but I think stopping PS
immediately instead of gracefully should help. If not, we might just
silence those errors.

## Problem

Monitoring dashboards show aggregates of all proxy instances, including
terminating ones. This can skew the results or make graphs less
readable. Also, alerts must be tuned to ignore certain signals from
terminating proxies.

## Summary of changes

Add a `service_info` metric currently with one label, `state`, showing
if an instance is in state `init`, `running`, or `terminating`. The
metric can be joined with other metrics to filter the presented time
series.
…` guard (#12743)

Before this PR, getpage requests wouldn't hold the
`applied_gc_cutoff_lsn` guard until they were done.

Theoretical impact: if we’re not holding the `RcuReadGuard`, gc can
theoretically concurrently delete reconstruct data that we need to
reconstruct the page.

I don't think this practically occurs in production because the odds of
it happening are quite low, especially for primary read_write computes.
But RO replicas / standby_horizon relies on correct
`applied_gc_cutofff_lsn`, so, I'm fixing this as part of the work ok
replacing standby_horizon propagation mechanism with leases (LKB-88).

The change is feature-gated with a feature flag, and evaluated once when
entering `handle_pagestream` to avoid performance impact.

For observability, we add a field to the `handle_pagestream` span, and a
slow-log to the place in `gc_loop` where it waits for the in-flight
RcuReadGuard's to drain.

## Problem

For certificate auth, we need to configure pg_hba and pg_ident for it to
work.

HCC needs to mount this config map to all pg compute pod.

## Summary of changes

Create `databricks_pg_hba` and `databricks_pg_ident` to configure where
the files are located on the pod. These configs are pass down to
`compute_ctl`. Compute_ctl uses these config to update `pg_hba.conf` and
`pg_ident.conf` file.

We append `include_if_exists {databricks_pg_hba}` to `pg_hba.conf` and
similarly to `pg_ident.conf`. So that it will refer to databricks config
file without much change to existing pg default config file.

Exposes metrics for caches. LKB-2594

This exposes a high level namespace, `cache`, that all cache metrics can
be added to - this makes it easier to make library panels for the caches
as I understand it.

To calculate the current cache fill ratio, you could use the following
query:

```
(
    cache_inserted_total{cache="node_info"}
  - sum (cache_evicted_total{cache="node_info"}) without (cause)
)
  / cache_capacity{cache="node_info"}
```

To calculate the cache hit ratio, you could use the following query:

```
  cache_request_total{cache="node_info", outcome="hit"}
/ sum (cache_request_total{cache="node_info"}) without (outcome)
```
## Problem
The test for logical replication used the year-old versions of
ClickHouse and Debezium so that we may miss problems related to
up-to-date versions.
## Summary of changes
The ClickHouse version has been updated to 24.8.
The Debezium version has been updated to the latest stable one,
3.1.3Final.
Some problems with locally running the Debezium test have been fixed.

## Problem

When tenants have a lot of timelines, the number of tenants that a
pageserver can comfortably handle goes down. Branching is much more
widely used in practice now than it was when this code was written, and
we generally run pageservers with a few thousand tenants (where each
tenant has many timelines), rather than the 10k-20k we might have done
historically.

This should really be something configurable, or a more direct proxy for
resource utilization (such as non-archived timeline count), but this
change should be a low effort improvement.

## Summary of changes

* Change the target shard count (MAX_SHARDS) to 2500 from 5000 when
calculating pageserver utilization (i.e. a 200% overcommit now
corresponds to 5000 shards, not 10000 shards)

There were a few uses of these already, so collect them to the
compatibility header to avoid the repetition and scattered #ifdefs.

The definition of MyProcNumber is a little different from what was used
before, but the end result is the same. (PGPROC->pgprocno values were
just assigned sequentially to all PGPROC array members, see
InitProcGlobal(). That's a bit silly, which is why it was removed in
v17.)
## Problem

close LKB-753. `test_pageserver_metrics_removed_after_offload` is
unstable and it sometimes leave the metrics behind after tenant
offloading. It turns out that we triggered an image compaction before
the offload and the job was stopped after the offload request was
completed.

## Summary of changes

Wait all background tasks to finish before checking the metrics.

## Problem

Password hashing for sql-over-http takes up a lot of CPU. Perhaps we can
get away with temporarily caching some steps so we only need fewer
rounds, which will save some CPU time.

## Summary of changes

The output of pbkdf2 is the XOR of the outputs of each iteration round,
eg `U1 ^ U2 ^ ... U15 ^ U16 ^ U17 ^ ... ^ Un`. We cache the suffix of
the expression `U16 ^ U17 ^ ... ^ Un`. To compute the result from the
cached suffix, we only need to compute the prefix `U1 ^ U2 ^ ... U15`.
The suffix by itself is useless, which prevent's its use in brute-force
attacks should this cached memory leak.

We are also caching the full 4096 round hash in memory, which can be
used for brute-force attacks, where this suffix could be used to speed
it up. My hope/expectation is that since these will be in different
allocations, it makes any such memory exploitation much much harder.
Since the full hash cache might be invalidated while the suffix is
cached, I'm storing the timestamp of the computation as a way to
identity the match.

I also added `zeroize()` to clear the sensitive state from the
stack/heap.

For the most security conscious customers, we hope to roll out OIDC
soon, so they can disable passwords entirely.

---

The numbers for the threadpool were pretty random, but according to our
busiest region for sql-over-http, we only see about 150 unique endpoints
every minute. So storing ~100 of the most common endpoints for that
minute should be the vast majority of requests.

1 minute was chosen so we don't keep data in memory for too long.
The `std::mem::offset_of` macro was introduced in Rust 1.77.0.

In the passing, mark the function as `const`, as suggested in the
comment. Not sure which compiler version that requires, but it works
with what have currently.

… loop (#12754)

## Problem
We have seen some errors in staging when the shard migration was
triggered by optimizations, and it was ongoing during draining the node
it was migrating from. It happens because the node draining loop only
waits for the migrations started by the drain loop itself. The ongoing
migrations are ignored.

Closes: https://databricks.atlassian.net/browse/LKB-1625

## Summary of changes
- Wait for the shard reconciliation during the drain if it is being
migrated from the drained node.
## Problem
Given a container image it is difficult to figure out dependencies and
doesn't work automatically.

## Summary of changes
- Build all rust binaries with `cargo auditable`, to allow sbom scanners
to find it's dependencies.
- Adjust `attests` for `docker/build-push-action`, so that buildkit
creates sbom and provenance attestations.
- Dropping `--locked` for `rustfilt`, because `rustfilt` can't build
with locked dependencies[^5]

## Further details
Building with `cargo auditable`[^1] embeds a dependency list into Linux,
Windows, MacOS and WebAssembly artifacts. A bunch of tools support
discovering dependencies from this, among them `syft`[^2], which is used
by the BuildKit Syft scanner[^3] plugin. This BuildKit plugin is the
default[^4] used in docker for generating sbom attestations, but we're
making that default explicit by referencing the container image.

…#12772)

## Problem

In #12467, timeouts and retries
were added to `Cache::get` tenant shard resolution to paper over an
issue with read unavailability during shard splits. However, this
retries _all_ errors, including irrecoverable errors like `NotFound`.

This causes problems with gRPC child shard routing in #12702, which
targets specific shards with `ShardSelector::Known` and relies on prompt
`NotFound` errors to reroute requests to child shards. These retries
introduce a 1s delay for all reads during child routing.

The broader problem of read unavailability during shard splits is left
as future work, see https://databricks.atlassian.net/browse/LKB-672.

Touches #12702.
Touches [LKB-191](https://databricks.atlassian.net/browse/LKB-191).

## Summary of changes

* Change `TenantManager` to always return a concrete
`GetActiveTimelineError`.
* Only retry `WaitForActiveTimeout` errors.
* Lots of code unindentation due to the simplified error handling.

Out of caution, we do not gate the retries on `ShardSelector`, since
this can trigger other races. Improvements here are left as future work.

…sk in pull timeline (#12778)

## Problem
I discovered two bugs corresponding to safekeeper migration, which
together might lead to a data loss during the migration. The second bug
is from a hadron patch and might lead to a data loss during the
safekeeper restore in hadron as well.

1. `switch_membership` returns the current `term` instead of
`last_log_term`. It is used to choose the `sync_position` in the
algorithm, so we might choose the wrong one and break the correctness
guarantees.
2. The current `term` is used to choose the most advanced SK in
`pull_timeline` with higher priority than `flush_lsn`. It is incorrect
because the most advanced safekeeper is the one with the highest
`(last_log_term, flush_lsn)` pair. The compute might bump term on the
least advanced sk, making it the best choice to pull from, and thus
making committed log entries "uncommitted" after `pull_timeline`

Part of https://databricks.atlassian.net/browse/LKB-1017

## Summary of changes
- Return `last_log_term` in `switch_membership`
- Use `(last_log_term, flush_lsn)` as a primary key for choosing the
most advanced sk in `pull_timeline` and deny pulling if the `max_term`
is higher than on the most advanced sk (hadron only)
- Write tests for both cases
- Retry `sync_safekeepers` in `compute_ctl`
- Take into the account the quorum size when calculating `sync_position`
As is, e.g. quota errors on wake compute are logged as "compute" errors.
It's an anon v1 failed launch artifact, I suppose.
Clap automatically uses doc comments as help/about texts. Doc comments
are strictly better, since they're also used e.g. for IDE documentation,
and are better formatted.

This patch updates all `neon_local` commands to use doc comments
(courtesy of GPT-o3).
)

Commit 1dce2a9 changed how the `neon.pageserver_connstring` setting
is formed, but it messed up setting the `neon.stripe_size` setting so
that it was set twice. That got mixed up during development of the
patch, as commit 7fef443 landed first and was merged incorrectly.
- Return sub-actions time spans for prewarm, prewarm offload, and
promotion in http handlers.
- Set `synchronous_standby_names=walproposer` for promoted endpoints.
Otherwise, walproposer on promoted standby ignores reply from safekeeper
and is stuck on lsn COMMIT eternally.
## Problem
Right now if we commit a joint configuration to DB, there is no way
back. The only way to get the clean mconf is to continue the migration.
The RFC also described an abort mechanism, which allows to abort current
migration and revert mconf change. It might be needed if the migration
is stuck and cannot have any progress, e.g. if the sk we are migrating
to went down during the migration. This PR implements this abort
algorithm.

- Closes: https://databricks.atlassian.net/browse/LKB-899
- Closes: #12549

## Summary of changes
- Implement `safekeeper_migrate_abort` handler with the algorithm
described in RFC
- Add `timeline-safekeeper-migrate-abort` subcommand to `storcon_cli`
- Add test for the migration abort algorithm.
## Problem
rest broker needs to respond with the correct cors headers for the api
to be usable from other domains

## Summary of changes
added a code path in rest broker to handle the OPTIONS requests
