yoav-steinberg 9dfeda58ed acl check api for functions and eval (#10220)
Changes:
1. Adds the `redis.acl_check_cmd()` api to lua scripts. It can be used to check if the
  current user has permissions to execute a given command. The new function receives
  the command to check as an argument exactly like `redis.call()` receives the command
  to execute as an argument.
2. In the PR I unified the code used to convert lua arguments to redis argv arguments from
  both the new `redis.acl_check_cmd()` API and the `redis.[p]call()` API. This cleans up
  potential duplicate code.
3. While doing the refactoring in 2 I noticed there's an optimization to reduce allocation calls
  when parsing lua arguments into an `argv` array in the `redis.[p]call()` implementation.
  These optimizations were introduced years ago in 48c49c4851
  and 4f686555ce. It is unclear why this was added.
  The original commit message claims a 4% performance increase which I couldn't recreate
  and might not be worth it even if it did recreate. This PR removes that optimization.
  Following are details of the benchmark I did that couldn't reveal any performance
  improvements due to this optimization:

```
benchmark 1: src/redis-benchmark -P 500 -n 10000000 eval 'return redis.call("ping")' 0
benchmark 2: src/redis-benchmark -P 500 -r 1000 -n 1000000 eval 'return redis.call("mset","k1__rand_int__","v1__rand_int__","k2__rand_int__","v2__rand_int__","k3__rand_int__","v3__rand_int__","k4__rand_int__","v4__rand_int__")' 0
benchmark 3: src/redis-benchmark -P 500 -r 1000 -n 100000 eval "for i=1,100,1 do redis.call('set','kk'..i,'vv'..__rand_int__) end return redis.call('get','kk5')" 0
benchmark 4: src/redis-benchmark -P 500 -r 1000 -n 1000000 eval 'return redis.call("mset","k1__rand_int__","v1__rand_int__","k2__rand_int__","v2__rand_int__","k3__rand_int__","v3__rand_int__","k4__rand_int__","v4__rand_int__xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx")'
```
I ran the benchmark on this branch with and without commit 68b71680a4
Results in requests per second:
cmd | without optimization | without optimization 2nd run | with original optimization | with original optimization 2nd run
-- | -- | -- | -- | --
1 | 461233.34 | 477395.31 | 471098.16 | 469946.91
2 | 34774.14 | 35469.8 | 35149.38 | 34464.93
3 | 6390.59 | 6281.41 | 6146.28 | 6464.12
4 | 28005.71 |   | 27965.77 |  

As you can see, different use cases showed identical or negligible performance differences.
So finally I decided to chuck the original optimization and simplify the code.

Redis Test Suite

The normal execution mode of the test suite involves starting and manipulating local redis-server instances, inspecting process state, log files, etc.

The test suite also supports execution against an external server, which is enabled using the --host and --port parameters. When executing against an external server, tests tagged external:skip are skipped.

There are additional runtime options that can further adjust the test suite to match different external server configurations:

Option Impact
--singledb Only use database 0, don't assume others are supported.
--ignore-encoding Skip all checks for specific encoding.
--ignore-digest Skip key value digest validations.
--cluster-mode Run in strict Redis Cluster compatibility mode.
--large-memory Enables tests that consume more than 100mb

Tags

Tags are applied to tests to classify them according to the subsystem they test, but also to indicate compatibility with different run modes and required capabilities.

Tags can be applied in different context levels:

  • start_server context
  • tags context that bundles several tests together
  • A single test context.

The following compatibility and capability tags are currently used:

Tag Indicates
external:skip Not compatible with external servers.
cluster:skip Not compatible with --cluster-mode.
large-memory Test that requires more than 100mb
tls:skip Not campatible with --tls.
needs:repl Uses replication and needs to be able to SYNC from server.
needs:debug Uses the DEBUG command or other debugging focused commands (like OBJECT).
needs:pfdebug Uses the PFDEBUG command.
needs:config-maxmemory Uses CONFIG SET to manipulate memory limit, eviction policies, etc.
needs:config-resetstat Uses CONFIG RESETSTAT to reset statistics.
needs:reset Uses RESET to reset client connections.
needs:save Uses SAVE to create an RDB file.

When using an external server (--host and --port), filtering using the external:skip tags is done automatically.

When using --cluster-mode, filtering using the cluster:skip tag is done automatically.

When not using --large-memory, filtering using the largemem:skip tag is done automatically.

In addition, it is possible to specify additional configuration. For example, to run tests on a server that does not permit SYNC use:

./runtest --host <host> --port <port> --tags -needs:repl
