There is a test that assumes that the backlog will get overrun, but
because of the recent changes to the default it no longer fails. It
seems like it is a bit flakey now though, so resetting the value in the
test back to 1mb. (This relates to the CoB of 1100k. So it should
consistently work with a 1mb limit).

The repl-backlog-size 1mb is too small in most cases, now network
transmission and bandwidth performance have improved rapidly in more
than ten years.
The bigger the replication backlog, the longer the replica can endure
the disconnect and later be able to perform a partial resynchronization.

Fix#821
During the `FAILOVER` process, when conditions are met (such as when the
force time is reached or the primary and replica offsets are
consistent), the primary actively becomes the replica and transitions to
the `FAILOVER_IN_PROGRESS` state. After the primary becomes the replica,
and after handshaking and other operations, it will eventually send the
`PSYNC FAILOVER` command to the replica, after which the replica will
become the primary. This means that the upgrade of the replica to the
primary is an asynchronous operation, which implies that during the
`FAILOVER_IN_PROGRESS` state, there may be a period of time where both
nodes are replicas. In this scenario, if a `-REDIRECT` is returned, the
request will be redirected to the replica and then redirected back,
causing back and forth redirection. To avoid this situation, during the
`FAILOVER_IN_PROGRESS state`, we temporarily suspend the clients that
need to be redirected until the replica truly becomes the primary, and
then resume the execution.

- Fix TLS bug where connection were shutdown by primary's main process

blocked.
- TLS connection fix -file descriptors are set to blocking mode in the

In stopAppendOnly, the aof_fd is -1 since the aof is not start yet
and the fsync and close will take the -1 and call it, so they will
all fail with EBADF. And stopAppendOnly will emit a server log, the
close(-1) should be no problem but it is still an undefined behavior.

In this PR we introduce the main benefit of dual channel replication by
continuously steaming the COB (client output buffers) in parallel to the
RDB and thus keeping the primary's side COB small AND accelerating the
overall sync process. By streaming the replication data to the replica
during the full sync, we reduce
1. Memory load from the primary's node.
2. CPU load from the primary's main process. [Latest performance
tests](#data)
## Motivation
* Reduce primary memory load. We do that by moving the COB tracking to
the replica side. This also decrease the chance for COB overruns. Note
that primary's input buffer limits at the replica side are less
restricted then primary's COB as the replica plays less critical part in
the replication group. While increasing the primary’s COB may end up
with primary reaching swap and clients suffering, at replica side we’re
more at ease with it. Larger COB means better chance to sync
successfully.
* Reduce primary main process CPU load. By opening a new, dedicated
connection for the RDB transfer, child processes can have direct access
to the new connection. Due to TLS connection restrictions, this was not
possible using one main connection. We eliminate the need for the child
process to use the primary's child-proc -> main-proc pipeline, thus
freeing up the main process to process clients queries.
## Dual Channel Replication high level interface design
- Dual channel replication begins when the replica sends a `REPLCONF
CAPA DUALCHANNEL` to the primary during initial
handshake. This is used to state that the replica is capable of dual
channel sync and that this is the replica's main channel, which is not
used for snapshot transfer.
- When replica lacks sufficient data for PSYNC, the primary will send
`-FULLSYNCNEEDED` response instead
of RDB data. As a next step, the replica creates a new connection
(rdb-channel) and configures it against
the primary with the appropriate capabilities and requirements. The
replica then requests a sync
using the RDB channel.
- Prior to forking, the primary sends the replica the snapshot's end
repl-offset, and attaches the replica
to the replication backlog to keep repl data until the replica requests
psync. The replica uses the main
channel to request a PSYNC starting at the snapshot end offset.
- The primary main threads sends incremental changes via the main
channel, while the bgsave process
sends the RDB directly to the replica via the rdb-channel. As for the
replica, the incremental
changes are stored on a local buffer, while the RDB is loaded into
memory.
- Once the replica completes loading the rdb, it drops the
rdb-connection and streams the accumulated incremental
changes into memory. Repl steady state continues normally.
## New replica state machine
## Data <a name="data"></a>
## Explanation
These graphs demonstrate performance improvements during full sync
sessions using rdb-channel + streaming rdb directly from the background
process to the replica.
First graph- with at most 50 clients and light weight commands, we saw
5%-7.5% improvement in write latency during sync session.
Two graphs below- full sync was tested during heavy read commands from
the primary (such as sdiff, sunion on large sets). In that case, the
child process writes to the replica without sharing CPU with the loaded
main process. As a result, this not only improves client response time,
but may also shorten sync time by about 50%. The shorter sync time
results in less memory being used to store replication diffs (>60% in
some of the tested cases).
## Test setup
Both primary and replica in the performance tests ran on the same
machine. RDB size in all tests is 3.7gb. I generated write load using
valkey-benchmark ` ./valkey-benchmark -r 100000 -n 6000000 lpush my_list
__rand_int__`.

This PR is 1 of 3 PRs intended to achieve the goal of 1 million requests
per second, as detailed by [dan touitou](https://github.com/touitou-dan)
in https://github.com/valkey-io/valkey/issues/22. This PR modifies the
IO threads to be fully asynchronous, which is a first and necessary step
to allow more work offloading and better utilization of the IO threads.
### Current IO threads state:
Valkey IO threads were introduced in Redis 6.0 to allow better
utilization of multi-core machines. Before this, Redis was
single-threaded and could only use one CPU core for network and command
processing. The introduction of IO threads helps in offloading the IO
operations to multiple threads.
**Current IO Threads flow:**
1. Initialization: When Redis starts, it initializes a specified number
of IO threads. These threads are in addition to the main thread, each
thread starts with an empty list, the main thread will populate that
list in each event-loop with pending-read-clients or
pending-write-clients.
2. Read Phase: The main thread accepts incoming connections and reads
requests from clients. The reading of requests are offloaded to IO
threads. The main thread puts the clients ready-to-read in a list and
set the global io_threads_op to IO_THREADS_OP_READ, the IO threads pick
the clients up, perform the read operation and parse the first incoming
command.
3. Command Processing: After reading the requests, command processing is
still single-threaded and handled by the main thread.
4. Write Phase: Similar to the read phase, the write phase is also be
offloaded to IO threads. The main thread prepares the response in the
clients’ output buffer then the main thread puts the client in the list,
and sets the global io_threads_op to the IO_THREADS_OP_WRITE. The IO
threads then pick the clients up and perform the write operation to send
the responses back to clients.
5. Synchronization: The main-thread communicate with the threads on how
many jobs left per each thread with atomic counter. The main-thread
doesn’t access the clients while being handled by the IO threads.
**Issues with current implementation:**
* Underutilized Cores: The current implementation of IO-threads leads to
the underutilization of CPU cores.
* The main thread remains responsible for a significant portion of
IO-related tasks that could be offloaded to IO-threads.
* When the main-thread is processing client’s commands, the IO threads
are idle for a considerable amount of time.
* Notably, the main thread's performance during the IO-related tasks is
constrained by the speed of the slowest IO-thread.
* Limited Offloading: Currently, Since the Main-threads waits
synchronously for the IO threads, the Threads perform only read-parse,
and write operations, with parsing done only for the first command. If
the threads can do work asynchronously we may offload more work to the
threads reducing the load from the main-thread.
* TLS: Currently, we don't support IO threads with TLS (where offloading
IO would be more beneficial) since TLS read/write operations are not
thread-safe with the current implementation.
### Suggested change
Non-blocking main thread - The main thread and IO threads will operate
in parallel to maximize efficiency. The main thread will not be blocked
by IO operations. It will continue to process commands independently of
the IO thread's activities.
**Implementation details**
**Inter-thread communication.**
* We use a static, lock-free ring buffer of fixed size (2048 jobs) for
the main thread to send jobs and for the IO to receive them. If the ring
buffer fills up, the main thread will handle the task itself, acting as
back pressure (in case IO operations are more expensive than command
processing). A static ring buffer is a better candidate than a dynamic
job queue as it eliminates the need for allocation/freeing per job.
* An IO job will be in the format: ` [void* function-call-back | void
*data] `where data is either a client to read/write from and the
function-ptr is the function to be called with the data for example
readQueryFromClient using this format we can use it later to offload
other types of works to the IO threads.
* The Ring buffer is one way from the main-thread to the IO thread, Upon
read/write event the main thread will send a read/write job then in
before sleep it will iterate over the pending read/write clients to
checking for each client if the IO threads has already finished handling
it. The IO thread signals it has finished handling a client read/write
by toggling an atomic flag read_state / write_state on the client
struct.
**Thread Safety**
As suggested in this solution, the IO threads are reading from and
writing to the clients' buffers while the main thread may access those
clients.
We must ensure no race conditions or unsafe access occurs while keeping
the Valkey code simple and lock free.
Minimal Action in the IO Threads
The main change is to limit the IO thread operations to the bare
minimum. The IO thread will access only the client's struct and only the
necessary fields in this struct.
The IO threads will be responsible for the following:
* Read Operation: The IO thread will only read and parse a single
command. It will not update the server stats, handle read errors, or
parsing errors. These tasks will be taken care of by the main thread.
* Write Operation: The IO thread will only write the available data. It
will not free the client's replies, handle write errors, or update the
server statistics.
To achieve this without code duplication, the read/write code has been
refactored into smaller, independent components:
* Functions that perform only the read/parse/write calls.
* Functions that handle the read/parse/write results.
This refactor accounts for the majority of the modifications in this PR.
**Client Struct Safe Access**
As we ensure that the IO threads access memory only within the client
struct, we need to ensure thread safety only for the client's struct's
shared fields.
* Query Buffer
* Command parsing - The main thread will not try to parse a command from
the query buffer when a client is offloaded to the IO thread.
* Client's memory checks in client-cron - The main thread will not
access the client query buffer if it is offloaded and will handle the
querybuf grow/shrink when the client is back.
* CLIENT LIST command - The main thread will busy-wait for the IO thread
to finish handling the client, falling back to the current behavior
where the main thread waits for the IO thread to finish their
processing.
* Output Buffer
* The IO thread will not change the client's bufpos and won't free the
client's reply lists. These actions will be done by the main thread on
the client's return from the IO thread.
* bufpos / block→used: As the main thread may change the bufpos, the
reply-block→used, or add/delete blocks to the reply list while the IO
thread writes, we add two fields to the client struct: io_last_bufpos
and io_last_reply_block. The IO thread will write until the
io_last_bufpos, which was set by the main-thread before sending the
client to the IO thread. If more data has been added to the cob in
between, it will be written in the next write-job. In addition, the main
thread will not trim or merge reply blocks while the client is
offloaded.
* Parsing Fields
* Client's cmd, argc, argv, reqtype, etc., are set during parsing.
* The main thread will indicate to the IO thread not to parse a cmd if
the client is not reset. In this case, the IO thread will only read from
the network and won't attempt to parse a new command.
* The main thread won't access the c→cmd/c→argv in the CLIENT LIST
command as stated before it will busy wait for the IO threads.
* Client Flags
* c→flags, which may be changed by the main thread in multiple places,
won't be accessed by the IO thread. Instead, the main thread will set
the c→io_flags with the information necessary for the IO thread to know
the client's state.
* Client Close
* On freeClient, the main thread will busy wait for the IO thread to
finish processing the client's read/write before proceeding to free the
client.
* Client's Memory Limits
* The IO thread won't handle the qb/cob limits. In case a client crosses
the qb limit, the IO thread will stop reading for it, letting the main
thread know that the client crossed the limit.
**TLS**
TLS is currently not supported with IO threads for the following
reasons:
1. Pending reads - If SSL has pending data that has already been read
from the socket, there is a risk of not calling the read handler again.
To handle this, a list is used to hold the pending clients. With IO
threads, multiple threads can access the list concurrently.
2. Event loop modification - Currently, the TLS code
registers/unregisters the file descriptor from the event loop depending
on the read/write results. With IO threads, multiple threads can modify
the event loop struct simultaneously.
3. The same client can be sent to 2 different threads concurrently
(https://github.com/redis/redis/issues/12540).
Those issues were handled in the current PR:
1. The IO thread only performs the read operation. The main thread will
check for pending reads after the client returns from the IO thread and
will be the only one to access the pending list.
2. The registering/unregistering of events will be similarly postponed
and handled by the main thread only.
3. Each client is being sent to the same dedicated thread (c→id %
num_of_threads).
**Sending Replies Immediately with IO threads.**
Currently, after processing a command, we add the client to the
pending_writes_list. Only after processing all the clients do we send
all the replies. Since the IO threads are now working asynchronously, we
can send the reply immediately after processing the client’s requests,
reducing the command latency. However, if we are using AOF=always, we
must wait for the AOF buffer to be written, in which case we revert to
the current behavior.
**IO threads dynamic adjustment**
Currently, we use an all-or-nothing approach when activating the IO
threads. The current logic is as follows: if the number of pending write
clients is greater than twice the number of threads (including the main
thread), we enable all threads; otherwise, we enable none. For example,
if 8 IO threads are defined, we enable all 8 threads if there are 16
pending clients; else, we enable none.
It makes more sense to enable partial activation of the IO threads. If
we have 10 pending clients, we will enable 5 threads, and so on. This
approach allows for a more granular and efficient allocation of
resources based on the current workload.
In addition, the user will now be able to change the number of I/O
threads at runtime. For example, when decreasing the number of threads
from 4 to 2, threads 3 and 4 will be closed after flushing their job
queues.
**Tests**
Currently, we run the io-threads tests with 4 IO threads
(443d80f168/.github/workflows/daily.yml (L353)).
This means that we will not activate the IO threads unless there are 8
(threads * 2) pending write clients per single loop, which is unlikely
to happened in most of tests, meaning the IO threads are not currently
being tested.
To enforce the main thread to always offload work to the IO threads,
regardless of the number of pending events, we add an
events-per-io-thread configuration with a default value of 2. When set
to 0, this configuration will force the main thread to always offload
work to the IO threads.
When we offload every single read/write operation to the IO threads, the
IO-threads are running with 100% CPU when running multiple tests
concurrently some tests fail as a result of larger than expected command
latencies. To address this issue, we have to add some after or wait_for
calls to some of the tests to ensure they pass with IO threads as well.

----
This PR replaces signals that are not considered async-signal-safe
(AS-safe) with safe calls.
#### **1. serverLog() and serverLogFromHandler()**
`serverLog` uses unsafe calls. It was decided that we will **avoid**
`serverLog` calls by the signal handlers when:
* The signal is not fatal, such as SIGALRM. In these cases, we prefer
using `serverLogFromHandler` which is the safe version of `serverLog`.
Note they have different prompts:
`serverLog`: `62220:M 26 Oct 2023 14:39:04.526 # <msg>`
`serverLogFromHandler`: `62220:signal-handler (1698331136) <msg>`
* The code was added recently. Calls to `serverLog` by the signal
handler have been there ever since Redis exists and it hasn't caused
problems so far. To avoid regression, from now we should use
`serverLogFromHandler`
#### **2. `snprintf` `fgets` and `strtoul`(base = 16) -------->
`_safe_snprintf`, `fgets_async_signal_safe`, `string_to_hex`**
The safe version of `snprintf` was taken from
[here](8cfc4ca5e7/src/mc_util.c (L754))
#### **3. fopen(), fgets(), fclose() --------> open(), read(), close()**
#### **4. opendir(), readdir(), closedir() --------> open(),
syscall(SYS_getdents64), close()**
#### **5. Threads_mngr sync mechanisms**
* waiting for the thread to generate stack trace: semaphore -------->
busy-wait
* `globals_rw_lock` was removed: as we are not using malloc and the
semaphore anymore we don't need to protect `ThreadsManager_cleanups`.
#### **6. Stacktraces buffer**
The initial problem was that we were not able to safely call malloc
within the signal handler.
To solve that we created a buffer on the stack of `writeStacktraces` and
saved it in a global pointer, assuming that under normal circumstances,
the function `writeStacktraces` would complete before any thread
attempted to write to it. However, **if threads lag behind, they might
access this global pointer after it no longer belongs to the
`writeStacktraces` stack, potentially corrupting memory.**
To address this, various solutions were discussed
[here](https://github.com/redis/redis/pull/12658#discussion_r1390442896)
Eventually, we decided to **create a pipe** at server startup that will
remain valid as long as the process is alive.
We chose this solution due to its minimal memory usage, and since
`write()` and `read()` are atomic operations. It ensures that stack
traces from different threads won't mix.
**The stacktraces collection process is now as follows:**
* Cleaning the pipe to eliminate writes of late threads from previous
runs.
* Each thread writes to the pipe its stacktrace
* Waiting for all the threads to mark completion or until a timeout (2
sec) is reached
* Reading from the pipe to print the stacktraces.
#### **7. Changes that were considered and eventually were dropped**
* replace watchdog timer with a POSIX timer:
according to [settimer man](https://linux.die.net/man/2/setitimer)
> POSIX.1-2008 marks getitimer() and setitimer() obsolete, recommending
the use of the POSIX timers API
([timer_gettime](https://linux.die.net/man/2/timer_gettime)(2),
[timer_settime](https://linux.die.net/man/2/timer_settime)(2), etc.)
instead.
However, although it is supposed to conform to POSIX std, POSIX timers
API is not supported on Mac.
You can take a look here at the Linux implementation:
[here](c7562ee135)
To avoid messing up the code, and uncertainty regarding compatibility,
it was decided to drop it for now.
* avoid using sds (uses malloc) in logConfigDebugInfo
It was considered to print config info instead of using sds, however
apparently, `logConfigDebugInfo` does more than just print the sds, so
it was decided this fix is out of this issue scope.
#### **8. fix Signal mask check**
The check `signum & sig_mask` intended to indicate whether the signal is
blocked by the thread was incorrect. Actually, the bit position in the
signal mask corresponds to the signal number. We fixed this by changing
the condition to: `sig_mask & (1L << (sig_num - 1))`
#### **9. Unrelated changes**
both `fork.tcl `and `util.tcl` implemented a function called
`count_log_message` expecting different parameters. This caused
confusion when trying to run daily tests with additional test parameters
to run a specific test.
The `count_log_message` in `fork.tcl` was removed and the calls were
replaced with calls to `count_log_message` located in `util.tcl`

recently there are some incidents of hanged tests in the CI
when we try to reproduce them, we get an assertion, not a hang.
maybe the server logs will reveal some info.
## Crash fix
### Current behavior
We might crash if we fail to collect some of the threads' output. If it exceeds timeout for example.
The threads mngr API guarantees that the output array length will be `tids_len`, however, some
indices can be NULL, in case it fails to collect some of the threads' outputs.
When we use the threads mngr to collect the threads' stacktraces, we rely on this and skip NULL
entries. Since the output array was allocated with malloc, instead of NULL, it contained garbage,
so we got a segmentation fault when trying to read this garbage. (in debug.c:writeStacktraces() )
### fix
Allocate the global output array with zcalloc.
### To reproduce the bug, you'll have to change the code:
**in threadsmngr:ThreadsManager_runOnThreads():**
make sure the g_output_array allocation is initialized with garbage and not 0s
(add `memset(g_output_array, 2, sizeof(void*) * tids_len);` below the allocation).
Force one of the threads to write to the array:
add a global var: `static redisAtomic size_t return_now = 0;`
add to `invoke_callback()` before writing to the output array:
```
size_t i_return;
atomicGetIncr(return_now, i_return, 1);
if(i_return == 1) return;
```
compile, start the server with `--enable-debug-command local` and run `redis-cli debug assert`
The assertion triggers the the stacktrace collection.
Expect to get 2 prints of the stack trace - since we get the segmentation fault after we return from
the threads mngr, it can be safely triggered again.
## Added global variables r/w lock in ThreadsManager
To avoid a situation where the main thread runs `ThreadsManager_cleanups` while threads are still
invoking the signal handler, we use a r/w lock.
For cleanups, we will acquire the write lock.
The threads will acquire the read lock to enable them to write simultaneously.
If we fail to acquire the read lock, it means cleanups are in progress and we return immediately.
After acquiring the lock we can safely check that the global output array wasn't nullified and proceed
to write to it.
This way we ensure the threads are not modifying the global variables/ trying to write to the output
array after they were zeroed/nullified/destroyed(the semaphore).
## other minor logging change
1. removed logging if the semaphore times out because the threads can still write to the output array
after this check. Instead, we print the total number of printed stacktraces compared to the exacted
number (len_tids).
2. use noinline attribute to make sure the uplevel number of ignored stack trace entries stays correct.
3. improve testing

In some tests, the code manually searches for a log message, and it
uses tail -1 with a delay of 1 second, which can miss the expected line.
Also, because the aof tests use start_server_aof and not start_server,
the test name doesn't log into the server log.
To fix the above, I made the following changes:
- Change the start_server_aof to wrap the start_server.
This will add the created aof server to the servers list, and make
srv() and wait_for_log_messages() available for the tests.
- Introduce a new option for start_server.
'wait_ready' - an option to let the caller start the test code without
waiting for the server to be ready. useful for tests on a server that
is expected to exit on startup.
- Create a new start_server_aof_ex.
The new proc also accept options as argument and make use of the
new 'short_life' option for tests that are expected to exit on startup
because of some error in the aof file(s).
Because of the above, I had to change many lines and replace every
local srv variable (a server config) usage with the srv().
In this PR we are adding the functionality to collect all the process's threads' backtraces.
## Changes made in this PR
### **introduce threads mngr API**
The **threads mngr API** which has 2 abilities:
* `ThreadsManager_init() `- register to SIGUSR2. called on the server start-up.
* ` ThreadsManager_runOnThreads()` - receives a list of a pid_t and a callback, tells every
thread in the list to invoke the callback, and returns the output collected by each invocation.
**Elaborating atomicvar API**
* `atomicIncrGet(var,newvalue_var,count) `-- Increment and get the atomic counter new value
* `atomicFlagGetSet` -- Get and set the atomic counter value to 1
### **Always set SIGALRM handler**
SIGALRM handler prints the process's stacktrace to the log file. Up until now, it was set only if the
`server.watchdog_period` > 0. This can be also useful if debugging is needed. However, in situations
where the server can't get requests, (a deadlock, for example) we weren't able to change the signal handler.
To make it available at run time we set SIGALRM handler on server startup. The signal handler name was
changed to a more general `sigalrmSignalHandler`.
### **Print all the process' threads' stacktraces**
`logStackTrace()` now calls `writeStacktraces()`, instead of logging the current thread stacktrace.
`writeStacktraces()`:
* On Linux systems we use the threads manager API to collect the backtraces of all the process' threads.
To get the `tids` list (threads ids) we read the `/proc/<redis-server-pid>/tasks` file which includes a list of directories.
Each directory name corresponds to one tid (including the main thread). For each thread, we also need to check if it
can get the signal from the threads manager (meaning it is not blocking/ignoring that signal). We send the threads
manager this tids list and `collect_stacktrace_data()` callback, which collects the thread's backtrace addresses,
its name, and tid.
* On other systems, the behavior remained as it was (writing only the current thread stacktrace to the log file).
## compatibility notes
1. **The threads mngr API is only supported in linux.**
2. glibc earlier than 2.3 We use `syscall(SYS_gettid)` and `syscall(SYS_tgkill...)` because their dedicated
alternatives (`gettid()` and `tgkill`) were added in glibc 2.3.
## Output example
Each thread backtrace will have the following format:
`<tid> <thread_name> [additional_info]`
* **tid**: as read from the `/proc/<redis-server-pid>/tasks` file
* **thread_name**: the tread name as it is registered in the os/
* **additional_info**: Sometimes we want to add specific information about one of the threads. currently.
it is only used to mark the thread that handles the backtraces collection by adding "*".
In case of crash - this also indicates which thread caused the crash. The handling thread in won't
necessarily appear first.

Recently, the option of sending an argument from stdin using `-x` flag
was added to redis-benchmark (this option is available in redis-cli as well).
However, using the `-x` option for sending a blobs that contains null-characters
doesn't work as expected - the argument is trimmed in the first occurrence of
`\X00` (unlike in redis-cli).
This PR aims to fix this issue and add the support for every binary string input,
by sending arguments length to `redisFormatCommandArgv` when processing
redis-benchmark command, so we won't treat the arguments as C-strings.
Additionally, we add a simple test coverage for `-x` (without binary strings, and
also remove an excessive server started in tests, and make sure to select db 0
so that `r` and the benchmark work on the same db.

This will increase the size of an already large COB (one already passed
the threshold for disconnection)
This could also mean that we'll attempt to write that data to the socket
and the replica will manage to read it, which will result in an
undesired partial sync (undesired for the test)
A single SPOP with command with count argument resulted in many SPOP
commands being propagated to the replica.
This is inefficient because the key name is repeated many times, and is also
being looked-up many times.
also it results in high QPS metrics on the replica.
To solve that, we flush batches of 1024 fields per SPOP command.

When master reboot from RDB, if rsi in RDB is valid we should not free replication backlog, even if master_repl_offset or repl-offset is 0.
Since if master doesn't send any data to replicas master_repl_offset is 0, it's a valid number.
A clear example:
1. start a master and apply some write commands, the master's master_repl_offset is 0 since it has no replicas.
2. stop write commands on master, and start another instance and replicaof the master, trigger an FULLRESYNC
3. the master's master_repl_offset is still 0 (set a large number for repl-ping-replica-period), do BGSAVE and restart the master
4. master load master_repl_offset from RDB's rsi and it's still 0, and we should make sure replica can partially resync with master.
In order to speed up tests, avoid saving an RDB (mostly notable on shutdown),
except for tests that explicitly test the RDB mechanism
In addition, use `shutdown-on-sigterm force` to prevetn shutdown from failing
in case the server is in the middle of the initial AOFRW
Also a a test that checks that the `shutdown-on-sigterm default` is to refuse
shutdown if there's an initial AOFRW

The MacOS CI in github actions often hangs without any logs. GH argues that
it's due to resource utilization, either running out of disk space, memory, or CPU
starvation, and thus the runner is terminated.
This PR contains multiple attempts to resolve this:
1. introducing pause_process instead of SIGSTOP, which waits for the process
to stop before resuming the test, possibly resolving race conditions in some tests,
this was a suspect since there was one test that could result in an infinite loop in that
case, in practice this didn't help, but still a good idea to keep.
2. disable the `save` config in many tests that don't need it, specifically ones that use
heavy writes and could create large files.
3. change the `populate` proc to use short pipeline rather than an infinite one.
4. use `--clients 1` in the macos CI so that we don't risk running multiple resource
demanding tests in parallel.
5. enable `--verbose` to be repeated to elevate verbosity and print more info to stdout
when a test or a server starts.
Now that the command argument specs are available at runtime (#9656), this PR addresses
#8084 by implementing a complete solution for command-line hinting in `redis-cli`.
It correctly handles nearly every case in Redis's complex command argument definitions, including
`BLOCK` and `ONEOF` arguments, reordering of optional arguments, and repeated arguments
(even when followed by mandatory arguments). It also validates numerically-typed arguments.
It may not correctly handle all possible combinations of those, but overall it is quite robust.
Arguments are only matched after the space bar is typed, so partial word matching is not
supported - that proved to be more confusing than helpful. When the user's current input
cannot be matched against the argument specs, hinting is disabled.
Partial support has been implemented for legacy (pre-7.0) servers that do not support
`COMMAND DOCS`, by falling back to a statically-compiled command argument table.
On startup, if the server does not support `COMMAND DOCS`, `redis-cli` will now issue
an `INFO SERVER` command to retrieve the server version (unless `HELLO` has already
been sent, in which case the server version will be extracted from the reply to `HELLO`).
The server version will be used to filter the commands and arguments in the command table,
removing those not supported by that version of the server. However, the static table only
includes core Redis commands, so with a legacy server hinting will not be supported for
module commands. The auto generated help.h and the scripts that generates it are gone.
Command and argument tables for the server and CLI use different structs, due primarily
to the need to support different runtime data. In order to generate code for both, macros
have been added to `commands.def` (previously `commands.c`) to make it possible to
configure the code generation differently for different use cases (one linked with redis-server,
and one with redis-cli).
Also adding a basic testing framework for the command hints based on new (undocumented)
command line options to `redis-cli`: `--test_hint 'INPUT'` prints out the command-line hint for
a given input string, and `--test_hint_file <filename>` runs a suite of test cases for the hinting
mechanism. The test suite is in `tests/assets/test_cli_hint_suite.txt`, and it is run from
`tests/integration/redis-cli.tcl`.

The reason is in reply-schemas-validator, the resp of the
client we create will be client_default_resp (currently 3):
```
client *createClient(connection *conn) {
client *c = zmalloc(sizeof(client));
#ifdef LOG_REQ_RES
reqresReset(c, 0);
c->resp = server.client_default_resp;
#else
c->resp = 2;
#endif
}
```
But current_resp3 in redis-cli will be inconsistent with it,
the test adds a simple hello 3 to avoid this failure, test
was added in #11873.
Added help descriptions for dont-pre-clean option, it was
added in #10273
The message "Reading messages... (press Ctrl-C to quit)" is replaced by
"Reading messages... (press Ctrl-C to quit or any key to type command)".
This allows users to subscribe to more channels, to try out UNSUBSCRIBE and to
combine pubsub with other features such as push messages from client tracking.
The "Reading messages" info message is displayed in the bottom of the output in a
distinct style and moves downward as more messages appear. When any key is pressed,
the info message is replaced by the prompt with for entering commands.
After entering a command and the reply is displayed, the "Reading messages" info
messages appears again. This is added to the repl loop in redis-cli and in the
corresponding place for non-interactive mode.
An indication "(subscribed mode)" is included in the prompt when entering commands
in subscribed mode.
Also:
* Fixes a problem that UNSUBSCRIBE hanged when used with RESP3 and push callback,
without first entering subscribe mode. It hanged because UNSUBSCRIBE gets one or
more push replies but no in-band reply.
* Exit subscribed mode after RESET.
