## Background
1. Currently Lua memory control does not pass through Redis's zmalloc.c.
Redis maxmemory cannot limit memory problems caused by users abusing lua
since these lua VM memory is not part of used_memory.
2. Since jemalloc is much better (fragmentation and speed), and also we
know it and trust it. we are
going to use jemalloc instead of libc to allocate the Lua VM code and
count it used memory.
## Process:
In this PR, we will use jemalloc in lua.
1. Create an arena for all lua vm (script and function), which is
shared, in order to avoid blocking defragger.
2. Create a bound tcache for the lua VM, since the lua VM and the main
thread are by default in the same tcache, and if there is no isolated
tcache, lua may request memory from the tcache which has just been freed
by main thread, and vice versa
On the other hand, since lua vm might be release in bio thread, but
tcache is not thread-safe, we need to recreate
the tcache every time we recreate the lua vm.
3. Remove lua memory statistics from memory fragmentation statistics to
avoid the effects of lua memory fragmentation
## Other
Add the following new fields to `INFO DEBUG` (we may promote them to
INFO MEMORY some day)
1. allocator_allocated_lua: total number of bytes allocated of lua arena
2. allocator_active_lua: total number of bytes in active pages allocated
in lua arena
3. allocator_resident_lua: maximum number of bytes in physically
resident data pages mapped in lua arena
4. allocator_frag_bytes_lua: fragment bytes in lua arena
This is oranagra's idea, and i got some help from sundb.
This solves the third point in #13102.

In some cases, users will abuse lua eval. Each EVAL call generates
a new lua script, which is added to the lua interpreter and cached
to redis-server, consuming a large amount of memory over time.
Since EVAL is mostly the one that abuses the lua cache, and these
won't have pipeline issues (i.e. the script won't disappear
unexpectedly,
and cause errors like it would with SCRIPT LOAD and EVALSHA),
we implement a plain FIFO LRU eviction only for these (not for
scripts loaded with SCRIPT LOAD).
### Implementation notes:
When not abused we'll probably have less than 100 scripts, and when
abused we'll have many thousands. So we use a hard coded value of 500
scripts. And considering that we don't have many scripts, then unlike
keys, we don't need to worry about the memory usage of keeping a true
sorted LRU linked list. We compute the SHA of each script anyway,
and put the script in a dict, we can store a listNode there, and use
it for quick removal and re-insertion into an LRU list each time the
script is used.
### New interfaces:
At the same time, a new `evicted_scripts` field is added to
INFO, which represents the number of evicted eval scripts. Users
can check it to see if they are abusing EVAL.
### benchmark:
`./src/redis-benchmark -P 10 -n 1000000 -r 10000000000 eval "return
__rand_int__" 0`
The simple abuse of eval benchmark test that will create 1 million EVAL
scripts. The performance has been improved by 50%, and the max latency
has dropped from 500ms to 13ms (this may be caused by table expansion
inside Lua when the number of scripts is large). And in the INFO memory,
it used to consume 120MB (server cache) + 310MB (lua engine), but now
it only consumes 70KB (server cache) + 210KB (lua_engine) because of
the scripts eviction.
For non-abusive case of about 100 EVAL scripts, there's no noticeable
change in performance or memory usage.
### unlikely potentially breaking change:
in theory, a user can maybe load a
script with EVAL and then use EVALSHA to call it (by calculating the
SHA1 value on the client side), it could be that if we read the docs
carefully we'll realized it's a valid scenario, but we suppose it's
extremely rare. So it may happen that EVALSHA acts on a script created
by EVAL, and the script is evicted and EVALSHA returns a NOSCRIPT error.
that is if you have more than 500 scripts being used in the same
transaction / pipeline.
This solves the second point in #13102.
Even if we have SCRIPT FLUSH ASYNC now, when there are a lot of
lua scripts, SCRIPT FLUSH ASYNC will still block the main thread.
This is because lua_close is executed in the main thread, and lua
heap needs to release a lot of memory.
In this PR, we take the current lua instance on lctx.lua and call
lua_close on it in a background thread, to close it in async way.
This is MeirShpilraien's idea.
It was first added to load lua from RDB, see 28dfdca7. After #9812,
we no longer save lua in RDB. luaCreateFunction will only be called
in script load and eval*, both of which are available in the client.
It could be that that some day we'll still want to load scripts from
somewhere that's not a client. This fix is in dead code.
Technically declaring a prototype with an empty declaration has been deprecated since the early days of C, but we never got a warning for it. C2x will apparently be introducing a breaking change if you are using this type of declarator, so Clang 15 has started issuing a warning with -pedantic. Although not apparently a problem for any of the compiler we build on, if feels like the right thing is to properly adhere to the C standard and use (void).
We have cases where we print information (might be important but by
no means an error indicator) with the LL_WARNING level.
Demoting these to LL_NOTICE:
- oO0OoO0OoO0Oo Redis is starting oO0OoO0OoO0Oo
- User requested shutdown...
This is also true for cases that we encounter a rare but normal situation.
Demoting to LL_NOTICE. Examples:
- AOF was enabled but there is already another background operation. An AOF background was scheduled to start when possible.
- Connection with master lost.
base on yoav-steinberg's https://github.com/redis/redis/pull/10650#issuecomment-1112280554
and yossigo's https://github.com/redis/redis/pull/10650#pullrequestreview-967677676
* Make it clear that current_client is the root client that was called by
external connection
* add executing_client which is the client that runs the current command
(can be a module or a script)
* Remove script_caller that was used for commands that have CLIENT_SCRIPT
to get the client that called the script. in most cases, that's the current_client,
and in others (when being called from a module), it could be an intermediate
client when we actually want the original one used by the external connection.
bugfixes:
* RM_Call with C flag should log ACL errors with the requested user rather than
the one used by the original client, this also solves a crash when RM_Call is used
with C flag from a detached thread safe context.
* addACLLogEntry would have logged info about the script_caller, but in case the
script was issued by a module command we actually want the current_client. the
exception is when RM_Call is called from a timer event, in which case we don't
have a current_client.
behavior changes:
* client side tracking for scripts now tracks the keys that are read by the script
instead of the keys that are declared by the caller for EVAL
other changes:
* Log both current_client and executing_client in the crash log.
* remove prepareLuaClient and resetLuaClient, being dead code that was forgotten.
* remove scriptTimeSnapshot and snapshot_time and instead add cmd_time_snapshot
that serves all commands and is reset only when execution nesting starts.
* remove code to propagate CLIENT_FORCE_REPL from the executed command
to the script caller since scripts aren't propagated anyway these days and anyway
this flag wouldn't have had an effect since CLIENT_PREVENT_PROP is added by scriptResetRun.
* fix a module GIL violation issue in afterSleep that was introduced in #10300 (unreleased)
As being discussed in #10981 we see a degradation in performance
between v6.2 and v7.0 of Redis on the EVAL command.
After profiling the current unstable branch we can see that we call the
expensive function evalCalcFunctionName twice.
The current "fix" is to basically avoid calling evalCalcFunctionName and
even dictFind(lua_scripts) twice for the same command.
Instead we cache the current script's dictEntry (for both Eval and Functions)
in the current client so we don't have to repeat these calls.
The exception would be when doing an EVAL on a new script that's not yet
in the script cache. in that case we will call evalCalcFunctionName (and even
evalExtractShebangFlags) twice.

This pr mainly has the following four changes:
1. Add missing lua_pop in `luaGetFromRegistry`.
This bug affects `redis.register_function`, where `luaGetFromRegistry` in
`luaRegisterFunction` will return null when we call `redis.register_function` nested.
.e.g
```
FUNCTION LOAD "#!lua name=mylib \n local lib=redis \n lib.register_function('f2', function(keys, args) lib.register_function('f1', function () end) end)"
fcall f2 0
````
But since we exit when luaGetFromRegistry returns null, it does not cause the stack to grow indefinitely.
3. When getting `REGISTRY_RUN_CTX_NAME` from the registry, use `serverAssert`
instead of error return. Since none of these lua functions are registered at the time
of function load, scriptRunCtx will never be NULL.
4. Add `serverAssert` for `luaLdbLineHook`, `luaEngineLoadHook`.
5. Remove `luaGetFromRegistry` from `redis_math_random` and
`redis_math_randomseed`, it looks like they are redundant.
The important part is that read-only scripts (not just EVAL_RO
and FCALL_RO, but also ones with `no-writes` executed by normal EVAL or
FCALL), will now be permitted to run during CLIENT PAUSE WRITE (unlike
before where only the _RO commands would be processed).
Other than that, some errors like OOM, READONLY, MASTERDOWN are now
handled by processCommand, rather than the command itself affects the
error string (and even error code in some cases), and command stats.
Besides that, now the `may-replicate` commands, PFCOUNT and PUBLISH, will
be considered `write` commands in scripts and will be blocked in all
read-only scripts just like other write commands.
They'll also be blocked in EVAL_RO (i.e. even for scripts without the
`no-writes` shebang flag.
This commit also hides the `may_replicate` flag from the COMMAND command
output. this is a **breaking change**.
background about may_replicate:
We don't want to expose a no-may-replicate flag or alike to scripts, since we
consider the may-replicate thing an internal concern of redis, that we may
some day get rid of.
In fact, the may-replicate flag was initially introduced to flag EVAL: since
we didn't know what it's gonna do ahead of execution, before function-flags
existed). PUBLISH and PFCOUNT, both of which because they have side effects
which may some day be fixed differently.
code changes:
The changes in eval.c are mostly code re-ordering:
- evalCalcFunctionName is extracted out of evalGenericCommand
- evalExtractShebangFlags is extracted luaCreateFunction
- evalGetCommandFlags is new code
The white list is done by setting a metatable on the global table before initializing
any library. The metatable set the `__newindex` field to a function that check
the white list before adding the field to the table. Fields which is not on the
white list are simply ignored.
After initialization phase is done we protect the global table and each table
that might be reachable from the global table. For each table we also protect
the table metatable if exists.
Use the new `lua_enablereadonlytable` Lua API to protect the global tables of
both evals scripts and functions. For eval scripts, the implemetation is easy,
We simply call `lua_enablereadonlytable` on the global table to turn it into
a readonly table.
On functions its more complecated, we want to be able to switch globals between
load run and function run. To achieve this, we create a new empty table that
acts as the globals table for function, we control the actual globals using metatable
manipulation. Notice that even if the user gets a pointer to the original tables, all
the tables are set to be readonly (using `lua_enablereadonlytable` Lua API) so he can
not change them. The following inlustration better explain the solution:
```
Global table {} <- global table metatable {.__index = __real_globals__}
```
The `__real_globals__` is set depends on the run context (function load or function call).
Why this solution is needed and its not enough to simply switch globals?
When we run in the context of function load and create our functions, our function gets
the current globals that was set when they were created. Replacing the globals after
the creation will not effect them. This is why this trick it mandatory.
Today, Redis wrap the user Lua code with a Lua function.
For example, assuming the user code is:
```
return redis.call('ping')
```
The actual code that would have sent to the Lua interpreter was:
```
f_b3a02c833904802db9c34a3cf1292eee3246df3c() return redis.call('ping') end
```
The wraped code would have been saved on the global dictionary with the
following name: `f_<script sha>` (in our example `f_b3a02c833904802db9c34a3cf1292eee3246df3c`).
This approach allows one user to easily override the implementation a another user code, example:
```
f_b3a02c833904802db9c34a3cf1292eee3246df3c = function() return 'hacked' end
```
Running the above code will cause `evalsha b3a02c833904802db9c34a3cf1292eee3246df3c 0` to return
hacked although it should have returned `pong`.
Another disadventage is that Redis basically runs code on the loading (compiling) phase without been
aware of it. User can do code injection like this:
```
return 1 end <run code on compling phase> function() return 1
```
The wraped code will look like this and the entire `<run code on compling phase>` block will run outside
of eval or evalsha context:
```
f_<sha>() return 1 end <run code on compling phase> function() return 1 end
```
By the convention of errors, there is supposed to be a space between the code and the name.
While looking at some lua stuff I noticed that interpreter errors were not adding the space,
so some clients will try to map the detailed error message into the error.
We have tests that hit this condition, but they were just checking that the string "starts" with ERR.
I updated some other tests with similar incorrect string checking. This isn't complete though, as
there are other ways we check for ERR I didn't fix.
Produces some fun output like:
```
# Errorstats
errorstat_ERR:count=1
errorstat_ERRuser_script_1_:count=1
```
If, for some reason, Redis decides not to execute the script, we need
to pop the function and error handler from Lua stack. Otherwise, eventually
the Lua stack will explode.
Relevant only for 7.0-rc1 and 7.0-rc2.
This PR fix 2 issues on Lua scripting:
* Server error reply statistics (some errors were counted twice).
* Error code and error strings returning from scripts (error code was missing / misplaced).
## Statistics
a Lua script user is considered part of the user application, a sophisticated transaction,
so we want to count an error even if handled silently by the script, but when it is
propagated outwards from the script we don't wanna count it twice. on the other hand,
if the script decides to throw an error on its own (using `redis.error_reply`), we wanna
count that too.
Besides, we do count the `calls` in command statistics for the commands the script calls,
we we should certainly also count `failed_calls`.
So when a simple `eval "return redis.call('set','x','y')" 0` fails, it should count the failed call
to both SET and EVAL, but the `errorstats` and `total_error_replies` should be counted only once.
The PR changes the error object that is raised on errors. Instead of raising a simple Lua
string, Redis will raise a Lua table in the following format:
```
{
err='<error message (including error code)>',
source='<User source file name>',
line='<line where the error happned>',
ignore_error_stats_update=true/false,
}
```
The `luaPushError` function was modified to construct the new error table as describe above.
The `luaRaiseError` was renamed to `luaError` and is now simply called `lua_error` to raise
the table on the top of the Lua stack as the error object.
The reason is that since its functionality is changed, in case some Redis branch / fork uses it,
it's better to have a compilation error than a bug.
The `source` and `line` fields are enriched by the error handler (if possible) and the
`ignore_error_stats_update` is optional and if its not present then the default value is `false`.
If `ignore_error_stats_update` is true, the error will not be counted on the error stats.
When parsing Redis call reply, each error is translated to a Lua table on the format describe
above and the `ignore_error_stats_update` field is set to `true` so we will not count errors
twice (we counted this error when we invoke the command).
The changes in this PR might have been considered as a breaking change for users that used
Lua `pcall` function. Before, the error was a string and now its a table. To keep backward
comparability the PR override the `pcall` implementation and extract the error message from
the error table and return it.
Example of the error stats update:
```
127.0.0.1:6379> lpush l 1
(integer) 2
127.0.0.1:6379> eval "return redis.call('get', 'l')" 0
(error) WRONGTYPE Operation against a key holding the wrong kind of value. script: e471b73f1ef44774987ab00bdf51f21fd9f7974a, on @user_script:1.
127.0.0.1:6379> info Errorstats
# Errorstats
errorstat_WRONGTYPE:count=1
127.0.0.1:6379> info commandstats
# Commandstats
cmdstat_eval:calls=1,usec=341,usec_per_call=341.00,rejected_calls=0,failed_calls=1
cmdstat_info:calls=1,usec=35,usec_per_call=35.00,rejected_calls=0,failed_calls=0
cmdstat_lpush:calls=1,usec=14,usec_per_call=14.00,rejected_calls=0,failed_calls=0
cmdstat_get:calls=1,usec=10,usec_per_call=10.00,rejected_calls=0,failed_calls=1
```
## error message
We can now construct the error message (sent as a reply to the user) from the error table,
so this solves issues where the error message was malformed and the error code appeared
in the middle of the error message:
```diff
127.0.0.1:6379> eval "return redis.call('set','x','y')" 0
-(error) ERR Error running script (call to 71e6319f97b0fe8bdfa1c5df3ce4489946dda479): @user_script:1: OOM command not allowed when used memory > 'maxmemory'.
+(error) OOM command not allowed when used memory > 'maxmemory' @user_script:1. Error running script (call to 71e6319f97b0fe8bdfa1c5df3ce4489946dda479)
```
```diff
127.0.0.1:6379> eval "redis.call('get', 'l')" 0
-(error) ERR Error running script (call to f_8a705cfb9fb09515bfe57ca2bd84a5caee2cbbd1): @user_script:1: WRONGTYPE Operation against a key holding the wrong kind of value
+(error) WRONGTYPE Operation against a key holding the wrong kind of value script: 8a705cfb9fb09515bfe57ca2bd84a5caee2cbbd1, on @user_script:1.
```
Notica that `redis.pcall` was not change:
```
127.0.0.1:6379> eval "return redis.pcall('get', 'l')" 0
(error) WRONGTYPE Operation against a key holding the wrong kind of value
```
## other notes
Notice that Some commands (like GEOADD) changes the cmd variable on the client stats so we
can not count on it to update the command stats. In order to be able to update those stats correctly
we needed to promote `realcmd` variable to be located on the client struct.
Tests was added and modified to verify the changes.

Remove scripts defragger since it was broken since #10126 (released in 7.0 RC1).
would crash the server if defragger starts in a server that contains eval scripts.
In #10126 the global `lua_script` dict became a dict to a custom `luaScript` struct with an internal `robj`
in it instead of a generic `sds` -> `robj` dict. This means we need custom code to defrag it and since scripts
should never really cause much fragmentation it makes more sense to simply remove the defrag code for scripts.
In #10025 we added a mechanism for flagging certain properties for Redis Functions.
This lead us to think we'd like to "port" this mechanism to Redis Scripts (`EVAL`) as well.
One good reason for this, other than the added functionality is because it addresses the
poor behavior we currently have in `EVAL` in case the script performs a (non DENY_OOM) write operation
during OOM state. See #8478 (And a previous attempt to handle it via #10093) for details.
Note that in Redis Functions **all** write operations (including DEL) will return an error during OOM state
unless the function is flagged as `allow-oom` in which case no OOM checking is performed at all.
This PR:
- Enables setting `EVAL` (and `SCRIPT LOAD`) script flags as defined in #10025.
- Provides a syntactical framework via [shebang](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shebang_(Unix)) for
additional script annotations and even engine selection (instead of just lua) for scripts.
- Provides backwards compatibility so scripts without the new annotations will behave as they did before.
- Appropriate tests.
- Changes `EVAL[SHA]/_RO` to be flagged as `STALE` commands. This makes it possible to flag individual
scripts as `allow-stale` or not flag them as such. In backwards compatibility mode these commands will
return the `MASTERDOWN` error as before.
- Changes `SCRIPT LOAD` to be flagged as a `STALE` command. This is mainly to make it logically
compatible with the change to `EVAL` in the previous point. It enables loading a script on a stale server
which is technically okay it doesn't relate directly to the server's dataset. Running the script does, but that
won't work unless the script is explicitly marked as `allow-stale`.
Note that even though the LUA syntax doesn't support hash tag comments `.lua` files do support a shebang
tag on the top so they can be executed on Unix systems like any shell script. LUA's `luaL_loadfile` handles
this as part of the LUA library. In the case of `luaL_loadbuffer`, which is what Redis uses, I needed to fix the
input script in case of a shebang manually. I did this the same way `luaL_loadfile` does, by replacing the
first line with a single line feed character.
Some modules might perform a long-running logic in different stages of Redis lifetime, for example:
* command execution
* RDB loading
* thread safe context
During this long-running logic Redis is not responsive.
This PR offers
1. An API to process events while a busy command is running (`RM_Yield`)
2. A new flag (`ALLOW_BUSY`) to mark the commands that should be handled during busy
jobs which can also be used by modules (`allow-busy`)
3. In slow commands and thread safe contexts, this flag will start rejecting commands with -BUSY only
after `busy-reply-threshold`
4. During loading (`rdb_load` callback), it'll process events right away (not wait for `busy-reply-threshold`),
but either way, the processing is throttled to the server hz rate.
5. Allow modules to Yield to redis background tasks, but not to client commands
* rename `script-time-limit` to `busy-reply-threshold` (an alias to the pre-7.0 `lua-time-limit`)

This commit adds some tests that the test cases will
access the keys with expiration time set in the script call.
There was no test case for this part before. See #10080
Also there is a test will cover #1525. we block the time so
that the key can not expire in the middle of the script execution.
Other changes:
1. Delete `evalTimeSnapshot` and just use `scriptTimeSnapshot` in it's place.
2. Some cleanups to scripting.tcl.
3. better names for tests that run in a loop to make them distinctable
# Background
The main goal of this PR is to remove relevant logics on Lua script verbatim replication,
only keeping effects replication logic, which has been set as default since Redis 5.0.
As a result, Lua in Redis 7.0 would be acting the same as Redis 6.0 with default
configuration from users' point of view.
There are lots of reasons to remove verbatim replication.
Antirez has listed some of the benefits in Issue #5292:
>1. No longer need to explain to users side effects into scripts.
They can do whatever they want.
>2. No need for a cache about scripts that we sent or not to the slaves.
>3. No need to sort the output of certain commands inside scripts
(SMEMBERS and others): this both simplifies and gains speed.
>4. No need to store scripts inside the RDB file in order to startup correctly.
>5. No problems about evicting keys during the script execution.
When looking back at Redis 5.0, antirez and core team decided to set the config
`lua-replicate-commands yes` by default instead of removing verbatim replication
directly, in case some bad situations happened. 3 years later now before Redis 7.0,
it's time to remove it formally.
# Changes
- configuration for lua-replicate-commands removed
- created config file stub for backward compatibility
- Replication script cache removed
- this is useless under script effects replication
- relevant statistics also removed
- script persistence in RDB files is also removed
- Propagation of SCRIPT LOAD and SCRIPT FLUSH to replica / AOF removed
- Deterministic execution logic in scripts removed (i.e. don't run write commands
after random ones, and sorting output of commands with random order)
- the flags indicating which commands have non-deterministic results are kept as hints to clients.
- `redis.replicate_commands()` & `redis.set_repl()` changed
- now `redis.replicate_commands()` does nothing and return an 1
- ...and then `redis.set_repl()` can be issued before `redis.replicate_commands()` now
- Relevant TCL cases adjusted
- DEBUG lua-always-replicate-commands removed
# Other changes
- Fix a recent bug comparing CLIENT_ID_AOF to original_client->flags instead of id. (introduced in #9780)

Redis function unit is located inside functions.c
and contains Redis Function implementation:
1. FUNCTION commands:
* FUNCTION CREATE
* FCALL
* FCALL_RO
* FUNCTION DELETE
* FUNCTION KILL
* FUNCTION INFO
2. Register engine
In addition, this commit introduce the first engine
that uses the Redis Function capabilities, the
Lua engine.
The functionality was moved to script_lua.c under
callFunction function. Its purpose is to call the Lua
function already located on the top of the Lua stack.
Used the new function on eval.c to invoke Lua code.
The function will also be used to invoke Lua
code on the Lua engine.
Script unit is a new unit located on script.c.
Its purpose is to provides an API for functions (and eval)
to interact with Redis. Interaction includes mostly
executing commands, but also functionalities like calling
Redis back on long scripts or check if the script was killed.
The interaction is done using a scriptRunCtx object that
need to be created by the user and initialized using scriptPrepareForRun.
Detailed list of functionalities expose by the unit:
1. Calling commands (including all the validation checks such as
acl, cluster, read only run, ...)
2. Set Resp
3. Set Replication method (AOF/REPLICATION/NONE)
4. Call Redis back to on long running scripts to allow Redis reply
to clients and perform script kill
The commit introduce the new unit and uses it on eval commands to
interact with Redis.
The following variable was renamed:
1. lua_caller -> script_caller
2. lua_time_limit -> script_time_limit
3. lua_timedout -> script_timedout
4. lua_oom -> script_oom
5. lua_disable_deny_script -> script_disable_deny_script
6. in_eval -> in_script
The following variables was moved to lctx under eval.c
1. lua
2. lua_client
3. lua_cur_script
4. lua_scripts
5. lua_scripts_mem
6. lua_replicate_commands
7. lua_write_dirty
8. lua_random_dirty
9. lua_multi_emitted
10. lua_repl
11. lua_kill
12. lua_time_start
13. lua_time_snapshot
This commit is in a low risk of introducing any issues and it
is just moving varibales around and not changing any logic.
This commit is only move code around without changing it.
The reason behind this is to make review process easier
by allowing the reviewer to simply ignore all code movements.
changes:
1. rename scripting.c to eval.c
2. introduce and new file, script_lua.c, and move parts of Lua
functionality to this new file. script_lua.c will eventually
contains the shared code between legacy lua and lua engine.
This commit does not compiled on purpose. Its only purpose is to move
code and rename files.
