      PSYNC2: Save Lua scripts state into RDB file. · f11a7585
      antirez authored
      This is currently needed in order to fix #4483, but this can be
      useful in other contexts, so maybe later we may want to remove the
      conditionals and always save/load scripts.
      
      Note that we are using the "lua" AUX field here, in order to guarantee
      backward compatibility of the RDB file. The unknown AUX fields must be
      discarded by past versions of Redis.

      LFU: do some changes about LFU to find hotkeys · 583c3147
      zhaozhao.zz authored
      Firstly, use access time to replace the decreas time of LFU.
      For function LFUDecrAndReturn,
      it should only try to get decremented counter,
      not update LFU fields, we will update it in an explicit way.
      And we will times halve the counter according to the times of
      elapsed time than server.lfu_decay_time.
      Everytime a key is accessed, we should update the LFU
      including update access time, and increment the counter after
      call function LFUDecrAndReturn.
      If a key is overwritten, the LFU should be also updated.
      Then we can use `OBJECT freq` command to get a key's frequence,
      and LFUDecrAndReturn should be called in `OBJECT freq` command
      in case of the key has not been accessed for a long time,
      because we update the access time only when the key is read or
      overwritten.

      Fix replication of SLAVEOF inside transaction. · e74f0aa6
      antirez authored
      In Redis 4.0 replication, with the introduction of PSYNC2, masters and
      slaves replicate commands to cascading slaves and to the replication
      backlog itself in a different way compared to the past.
      
      Masters actually replicate the effects of client commands.
      Slaves just propagate what they receive from masters.
      
      This mechanism can cause problems when the configuration of an instance
      is changed from master to slave inside a transaction. For instance
      we could send to a master instance the following sequence:
      
          MULTI
          SLAVEOF 127.0.0.1 0
          EXEC
          SLAVEOF NO ONE
      
      Before the fixes in this commit, the MULTI command used to be propagated
      into the replication backlog, however after the SLAVEOF command the
      instance is a slave, so the EXEC implementation failed to also propagate
      the EXEC command. When the slaves of the above instance reconnected,
      they were incrementally synchronized just sending a "MULTI". This put
      the master client (in the slaves) into MULTI state, breaking the
      replication.
      
      Notably even Redis Sentinel uses the above approach in order to guarantee
      that configuration changes are always performed together with rewrites
      of the configuration and with clients disconnection. Sentiel does:
      
          MULTI
          SLAVEOF ...
          CONFIG REWRITE
          CLIENT KILL TYPE normal
          EXEC
      
      So this was a really problematic issue. However even with the fix in
      this commit, that will add the final EXEC to the replication stream in
      case the instance was switched from master to slave during the
      transaction, the result would be to increment the slave replication
      offset, so a successive reconnection with the new master, will not
      permit a successful partial resynchronization: no way the new master can
      provide us with the backlog needed, we incremented our offset to a value
      that the new master cannot have.
      
      However the EXEC implementation waits to emit the MULTI, so that if the
      commands inside the transaction actually do not need to be replicated,
      no commands propagation happens at all. From multi.c:
      
          if (!must_propagate && !(c->cmd->flags & (CMD_READONLY|CMD_ADMIN))) {
      	execCommandPropagateMulti(c);
      	must_propagate = 1;
          }
      
      The above code is already modified by this commit you are reading.
      Now also ADMIN commands do not trigger the emission of MULTI. It is actually
      not clear why we do not just check for CMD_WRITE... Probably I wrote it this
      way in order to make the code more reliable: better to over-emit MULTI
      than not emitting it in time.
      
      So this commit should indeed fix issue #3836 (verified), however it looks
      like some reconsideration of this code path is needed in the long term.
      
      BONUS POINT: The reverse bug.
      
      Even in a read only slave "B", in a replication setup like:
      
      	A -> B -> C
      
      There are commands without the READONLY nor the ADMIN flag, that are also
      not flagged as WRITE commands. An example is just the PING command.
      
      So if we send B the following sequence:
      
          MULTI
          PING
          SLAVEOF NO ONE
          EXEC
      
      The result will be the reverse bug, where only EXEC is emitted, but not the
      previous MULTI. However this apparently does not create problems in practice
      but it is yet another acknowledge of the fact some work is needed here
      in order to make this code path less surprising.
      
      Note that there are many different approaches we could follow. For instance
      MULTI/EXEC blocks containing administrative commands may be allowed ONLY
      if all the commands are administrative ones, otherwise they could be
      denined. When allowed, the commands could simply never be replicated at all.

      Added GEORADIUS(BYMEMBER)_RO variants for read-only operations. · f8547e53
      antirez authored
      Issue #4084 shows how for a design error, GEORADIUS is a write command
      because of the STORE option. Because of this it does not work
      on readonly slaves, gets redirected to masters in Redis Cluster even
      when the connection is in READONLY mode and so forth.
      
      To break backward compatibility at this stage, with Redis 4.0 to be in
      advanced RC state, is problematic for the user base. The API can be
      fixed into the unstable branch soon if we'll decide to do so in order to
      be more consistent, and reease Redis 5.0 with this incompatibility in
      the future. This is still unclear.
      
      However, the ability to scale GEO queries in slaves easily is too
      important so this commit adds two read-only variants to the GEORADIUS
      and GEORADIUSBYMEMBER command: GEORADIUS_RO and GEORADIUSBYMEMBER_RO.
      The commands are exactly as the original commands, but they do not
      accept the STORE and STOREDIST options.

      RDB modules values serialization format version 2. · 365dd037
      antirez authored
      The original RDB serialization format was not parsable without the
      module loaded, becuase the structure was managed only by the module
      itself. Moreover RDB is a streaming protocol in the sense that it is
      both produce di an append-only fashion, and is also sometimes directly
      sent to the socket (in the case of diskless replication).
      
      The fact that modules values cannot be parsed without the relevant
      module loaded is a problem in many ways: RDB checking tools must have
      loaded modules even for doing things not involving the value at all,
      like splitting an RDB into N RDBs by key or alike, or just checking the
      RDB for sanity.
      
      In theory module values could be just a blob of data with a prefixed
      length in order for us to be able to skip it. However prefixing the values
      with a length would mean one of the following:
      
      1. To be able to write some data at a previous offset. This breaks
      stremaing.
      2. To bufferize values before outputting them. This breaks performances.
      3. To have some chunked RDB output format. This breaks simplicity.
      
      Moreover, the above solution, still makes module values a totally opaque
      matter, with the fowllowing problems:
      
      1. The RDB check tool can just skip the value without being able to at
      least check the general structure. For datasets composed mostly of
      modules values this means to just check the outer level of the RDB not
      actually doing any checko on most of the data itself.
      2. It is not possible to do any recovering or processing of data for which a
      module no longer exists in the future, or is unknown.
      
      So this commit implements a different solution. The modules RDB
      serialization API is composed if well defined calls to store integers,
      floats, doubles or strings. After this commit, the parts generated by
      the module API have a one-byte prefix for each of the above emitted
      parts, and there is a final EOF byte as well. So even if we don't know
      exactly how to interpret a module value, we can always parse it at an
      high level, check the overall structure, understand the types used to
      store the information, and easily skip the whole value.
      
      The change is backward compatible: older RDB files can be still loaded
      since the new encoding has a new RDB type: MODULE_2 (of value 7).
      The commit also implements the ability to check RDB files for sanity
      taking advantage of the new feature.

      Modules TSC: use atomic var for server.unixtime. · 1f598fc2
      antirez authored
      This avoids Helgrind complaining, but we are actually not using
      atomicGet() to get the unixtime value for now: too many places where it
      is used and given tha time_t is word-sized it should be safe in all the
      archs we support as it is.
      
      On the other hand, Helgrind, when Redis is compiled with "make helgrind"
      in order to force the __sync macros, will detect the write in
      updateCachedTime() as a read (because atomic functions are used) and
      will not complain about races.
      
      This commit also includes minor refactoring of mutex initializations and
      a "helgrind" target in the Makefile.

      Fix PSYNC2 incomplete command bug as described in #3899. · 22be435e
      antirez authored
      This bug was discovered by @kevinmcgehee and constituted a major hidden
      bug in the PSYNC2 implementation, caused by the propagation from the
      master of incomplete commands to slaves.
      
      The bug had several results:
      
      1. Borrowing from Kevin text in the issue: "Given that slaves blindly
      copy over their master's input into their own replication backlog over
      successive read syscalls, it's possible that with large commands or
      small TCP buffers, partial commands are present in this buffer. If the
      master were to fail before successfully propagating the entire command
      to a slave, the slaves will never execute the partial command (since the
      client is invalidated) but will copy it to replication backlog which may
      relay those invalid bytes to its slaves on PSYNC2, corrupting the
      backlog and possibly other valid commands that follow the failover.
      Simple command boundaries aren't sufficient to capture this, either,
      because in the case of a MULTI/EXEC block, if the master successfully
      propagates a subset of the commands but not the EXEC, then the
      transaction in the backlog becomes corrupt and could corrupt other
      slaves that consume this data."
      
      2. As identified by @yangsiran later, there is another effect of the
      bug. For the same mechanism of the first problem, a slave having another
      slave, could receive a full resynchronization request with an already
      half-applied command in the backlog. Once the RDB is ready, it will be
      sent to the slave, and the replication will continue sending to the
      sub-slave the other half of the command, which is not valid.
      
      The fix, designed by @yangsiran and @antirez, and implemented by
      @antirez, uses a secondary buffer in order to feed the sub-masters and
      update the replication backlog and offsets, only when a given part of
      the query buffer is actually *applied* to the state of the instance,
      that is, when the command gets processed and the command is not pending
      in the Redis transaction buffer because of CLIENT_MULTI state.
      
      Given that now the backlog and offsets representation are in agreement
      with the actual processed commands, both issue 1 and 2 should no longer
      be possible.
      
      Thanks to @kevinmcgehee, @yangsiran and @oranagra for their work in
      identifying and designing a fix for this problem.

      Fix modules blocking commands awake delay. · ffefc9f9
      antirez authored
      If a thread unblocks a client blocked in a module command, by using the
      RedisMdoule_UnblockClient() API, the event loop may not be awaken until
      the next timeout of the multiplexing API or the next unrelated I/O
      operation on other clients. We actually want the client to be served
      ASAP, so a mechanism is needed in order for the unblocking API to inform
      Redis that there is a client to serve ASAP.
      
      This commit fixes the issue using the old trick of the pipe: when a
      client needs to be unblocked, a byte is written in a pipe. When we run
      the list of clients blocked in modules, we consume all the bytes
      written in the pipe. Writes and reads are performed inside the context
      of the mutex, so no race is possible in which we consume the bytes that
      are actually related to an awake request for a client that should still
      be put into the list of clients to unblock.
      
      It was verified that after the fix the server handles the blocked
      clients with the expected short delay.
      
      Thanks to @dvirsky for understanding there was such a problem and
      reporting it.

      Use SipHash hash function to mitigate HashDos attempts. · adeed29a
      antirez authored
      This change attempts to switch to an hash function which mitigates
      the effects of the HashDoS attack (denial of service attack trying
      to force data structures to worst case behavior) while at the same time
      providing Redis with an hash function that does not expect the input
      data to be word aligned, a condition no longer true now that sds.c
      strings have a varialbe length header.
      
      Note that it is possible sometimes that even using an hash function
      for which collisions cannot be generated without knowing the seed,
      special implementation details or the exposure of the seed in an
      indirect way (for example the ability to add elements to a Set and
      check the return in which Redis returns them with SMEMBERS) may
      make the attacker's life simpler in the process of trying to guess
      the correct seed, however the next step would be to switch to a
      log(N) data structure when too many items in a single bucket are
      detected: this seems like an overkill in the case of Redis.
      
      SPEED REGRESION TESTS:
      
      In order to verify that switching from MurmurHash to SipHash had
      no impact on speed, a set of benchmarks involving fast insertion
      of 5 million of keys were performed.
      
      The result shows Redis with SipHash in high pipelining conditions
      to be about 4% slower compared to using the previous hash function.
      However this could partially be related to the fact that the current
      implementation does not attempt to hash whole words at a time but
      reads single bytes, in order to have an output which is endian-netural
      and at the same time working on systems where unaligned memory accesses
      are a problem.
      
      Further X86 specific optimizations should be tested, the function
      may easily get at the same level of MurMurHash2 if a few optimizations
      are performed.

      Only show Redis logo if logging to stdout / TTY. · 06bfeb48
      antirez authored
      You can still force the logo in the normal logs.
      For motivations, check issue #3112. For me the reason is that actually
      the logo is nice to have in interactive sessions, but inside the logs
      kinda loses its usefulness, but for the ability of users to recognize
      restarts easily: for this reason the new startup sequence shows a one
      liner ASCII "wave" so that there is still a bit of visual clue.
      
      Startup logging was modified in order to log events in more obvious
      ways, and to log more events. Also certain important informations are
      now more easy to parse/grep since they are printed in field=value style.
      
      The option --always-show-logo in redis.conf was added, defaulting to no.
