This is an automated cherry-pick of #11259

What problem does this PR solve?

A stuck TiCDC GC barrier can retain obsolete data for days and cause disk pressure. Operators need to identify the retaining barriers before deciding whether they can be advanced or removed.

Issue Number: ref #11260

What is changed and how does it work?

Observe valid GC barriers whose timestamps lag the current time by more than 24 hours after successful transaction safe point advancement, reusing the existing barrier and keyspace metadata reads. Export physical timestamps with scope, keyspace ID, keyspace name, and barrier ID labels, excluding the reserved keyspace gc_worker barrier.

Use the same fixed 24-hour threshold for warning logs, at most once per barrier every 10 minutes. Update or clear observed entries on successful writes, expiry, metadata removal, and leadership changes without periodic storage scans or changes to GC advancement.

Observation follows the existing advancement API scope, including compatibility requests. Global barriers and NullKeyspace use an empty keyspace name. Discovery requires a successful advancement request; writes alone do not discover barriers. The age threshold applies to the barrier timestamp, not the barrier's creation time or how long GC has been blocked. No warning-age configuration is added; alert rules can choose a separate threshold.

Only barriers that meet the reporting conditions retain metric and warning state. Keyspaces without qualifying barriers do not create entries, and each global barrier is retained once across keyspace observations. Scrapes inspect the retained entries and remove expired barriers without storage reads.

Legacy HTTP/pd-ctl force deletion runs under GC manager serialization and removes the observation only after a successful storage commit. This prevents concurrent advancement from republishing a deleted barrier while preserving reserved gc_worker deletion and idempotent deletion of absent services. Failed deletes retain the metric and warning suppression.

Routing boundary: normal HTTP/pd-ctl requests are handled by the leader. A caller that explicitly supplies PD-Allow-follower-handle can still force follower-local deletion and leave the leader's observation stale; this existing middleware override is unchanged.

Check List

Tests

  • Unit and embedded-etcd integration tests for GC barrier observation and keyspace lifecycle, including the fixed 24-hour threshold and warning throttling.
  • Full affected package tests with default and NextGen builds; targeted collector, GC integration, and keyspace lifecycle race tests.
  • Scoped make check and make basic-test for the affected root packages, including server/api for force deletion.
  • Actual HTTP force-delete regression in both client discovery modes, including -race: an observed non-expiring barrier disappears from metrics immediately after deletion without another advancement.
  • Manager tests for failed commits, successful retry, recreation, absent-service cleanup, and unchanged normal/force-delete validation; GC and HTTP integration lint pass.

Code changes

  • Adds pd_gc_barrier_timestamp_seconds{scope,keyspace_id,keyspace_name,barrier_id} and warning logs for valid barrier timestamps more than 24 hours old.

Side effects

  • Adds retained state proportional to reported barriers, plus map capacity overhead, and allocation work when observations are refreshed. No entries are created for barriers that do not meet the reporting conditions.
  • Successful advancement requests inspect the already-loaded barrier collections; scrapes inspect the retained entries. No additional storage reads or background scans are added.

Related changes

Release note

Expose GC barriers whose timestamps lag the current time by more than 24 hours through per-barrier timestamp metrics and warning logs to help diagnose delayed garbage collection.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds GC barrier timestamp metrics and warning observation. It integrates metric lifecycle handling with GC leadership, barrier updates, service-barrier deletion, keyspace removal, shutdown, and related tests.

Changes

GC barrier metrics and lifecycle

Layer / File(s) Summary
Barrier metrics collector
pkg/gc/metrics.go, pkg/gc/metrics_test.go
Adds a Prometheus collector for local and global barrier timestamps. It applies scope labels, expiry filtering, warning age and interval limits, lifecycle generations, concurrent cleanup, and shutdown detachment.
GC state observation and lifecycle
pkg/gc/gc_state_manager.go, server/api/service_gc_safepoint.go, server/server.go, pkg/gc/gc_state_manager_test.go, tests/integrations/client/http_client_test.go
GC advancement and compatible service updates observe barriers and update the GC-state cache. Leadership methods publish or clear metrics. Barrier creation and deletion update metrics. ForceDeleteServiceGCSafePoint removes NullKeyspace service barriers, including reserved IDs. Shutdown and HTTP deletion use the new cleanup paths.
Keyspace removal invalidation
pkg/keyspace/keyspace.go, pkg/keyspace/tso_keyspace_group.go, pkg/keyspace/keyspace_test.go
The keyspace manager stores an atomic GC-barrier invalidation callback. Group removal deletes keyspaces transactionally, invalidates removed keyspace metrics after commit, refreshes the cache, and tests cache and group-binding cleanup.
Validation of combined reads and metric behavior
pkg/gc/metrics_test.go, pkg/gc/gc_state_manager_test.go
Tests cover metric labels, expiry, warnings, leadership, concurrency, keyspace state changes, force deletion, combined GC-state and global-barrier reads, corrupt storage, and revision conflicts. Some added blocks contain unresolved merge-conflict markers.

Merge Risk: 🔴 Critical · up to 73229

This change cannot be built or tested in its current form: several Go source and test files still contain leftover merge conflict text from the automated cherry-pick, and new tests rely on language library features newer than the project's supported Go version. The conflicted garbage-collection code also references fields that do not exist and would cache an unset safe point. These must be resolved before merge; nothing about the new barrier metrics can work until the affected packages compile.

The automated cherry-pick left unresolved conflict markers in package gc. Three regions in pkg/gc/gc_state_manager.go and one in pkg/gc/gc_state_manager_test.go still contain <<<<<<< HEAD, ======= and >>>>>>> a3f0b17749 .... Go cannot parse these tokens, so the package and its tests do not compile. golangci-lint confirms this with expected declaration, found '<<' and illegal character U+0023 '#'.

  • pkg/gc/gc_state_manager.go#L158-L193: remove the markers around OnNodeBecomesLeader, OnNodeBecomesFollower and nodeIsLeader. Add the nodeLeadership and gcStateCache fields to the GCStateManager struct at lines 111-123, because those methods reference fields the struct does not declare.
  • pkg/gc/gc_state_manager.go#L479-L491: remove the markers here and the third pair at lines 376-381. After that, assign gcSafePoint inside the transaction before line 488, or drop GCSafePoint from the cache update. The variable is declared at line 378 and never assigned, so the cache would record GCSafePoint: 0 for every advancement.
  • pkg/gc/gc_state_manager_test.go#L1788-L1789: remove the markers at lines 1788, 1789 and 2012. Port GetGCStateWithGlobalGCBarriers, gcStateCache, trackGCStateCacheAccessCounters and the getGCStateWithGlobalGCBarriersAfterRead failpoint, or remove the tests that belong to the other branch.

official Go documentation sync.WaitGroup.Go added Go 1.25 testing.B.Loop added Go 1.24

💡 Result:

<search_synthesis>
The official Go documentation confirms that sync.WaitGroup.Go was added in Go 1.25 [1][2][3] and testing.B.Loop was added in Go 1.24 [4][5][6]. sync.WaitGroup.Go The Go method on sync.WaitGroup was introduced in Go 1.25 [1]. It is designed to simplify launching goroutines tracked by a WaitGroup, replacing the manual pattern of wg.Add(1), go func { defer wg.Done... }, and f [7][8]. By using wg.Go(f), the developer avoids boilerplate and potential errors [9][7]. If f panics, the panic is propagated, as calling wg.Done in a deferred function would be inappropriate when the goroutine crashes [10][11]. testing.B.Loop The testing.B.Loop method was introduced in Go 1.24 [5]. It is the preferred way to write benchmarks, replacing the traditional for range b.N loop structure [4][5]. It offers several advantages: 1. Improved Reliability: It eliminates common pitfalls such as forgetting to use b.N or using it incorrectly for input sizing [12]. 2. Timer Management: It automatically integrates b.ResetTimer and b.StopTimer, ensuring setup and cleanup code are correctly excluded from performance measurements [4][6]. 3. Compiler Optimization Control: It prevents the compiler from performing dead-code elimination on the loop body by using compiler-level transformations [4][13]. 4. Efficiency: It runs the benchmark function exactly once per count, rather than rerunning the entire function multiple times to calibrate, which makes it more efficient for benchmarks with expensive setup [5][6].

Go 1.24 introduces a new way to write benchmarks that’s just as easy to use, but at the same time far more robust: `testing.B.Loop`. Traditionally, Go benchmarks are written using a loop from 0 to `b.N`: ``` func Benchmark(b *testing.B) { for range b.N { ... code to measure ... } } ``` Using `b.Loop` instead is a trivial change: ``` func Benchmark(b *testing.B) { for b.Loop() { ... code to measure ... } } ``` `testing.B.Loop` has many benefits: - It prevents unwanted compiler optimizations within the benchmark loop. - It automatically excludes setup and cleanup code from benchmark timing. - Code can’t accidentally depend on the total number of iterations or the current iteration. These were all easy mistakes to make with `b.N`-style benchmarks that would silently result in bogus benchmark results. As an added bonus, `b.Loop`-style benchmarks even complete in less time! Let’s explore the advantages of `testing.B.Loop` and how to effectively utilize it. ## Old benchmark loop problems Before Go 1.24, while the basic structure of a benchmark was simple, more sophisticated benchmarks required more care: ``` func Benchmark(b *testing.B) { ... setup ... b.ResetTimer() // if setup may be expensive for range b.N { ... code to measure ... ... use sinks or accumulation to prevent dead-code elimination ... } b.StopTimer() // if cleanup or reporting may be expensive ... cleanup ... ... report ... } ``` If setup or cleanup are non-trivial, the developer needs to surround the benchmark loop with `ResetTimer` and/or `StopTimer` calls. These are easy to forget, and even if the developer remembers they may be necessary, it can be difficult to judge whether setup or cleanup are “expensive enough” to require them. Without these, the `testing` package can only time the entire benchmark function. If a benchmark function omits them, the setup and cleanup code will be included in the overall time measurement, silently skewing the final benchmark result. There is another, more subtle pitfall that requires deeper understanding: (Example source) ``` func isCond(b byte) bool { if b%3 == 1 && b%7 == 2 && b%17 == 11 && b%31 == 9 { return true } return false } func BenchmarkIsCondWrong(b *testing.B) { for range b.N { isCond(201) } } ``` In this example, the user might observe `isCond` executing in sub-nanosecond time. CPUs are fast, but not that fast! This seemingly anomalous result stems from the fact that `isCond` is inlined, and since its result is never used, the compiler eliminates it as dead code. As a result, this benchmark doesn’t measure `isCond` at all; it measures how long it takes to do nothing. In this case, the sub-nanosecond result is a clear red flag, but in more complex benchmarks, partial dead-code elimination can lead to results that look reasonable but still aren’t measuring what was intended. ## How `testing.B.Loop` helps Unlike a `b.N`-style benchmark, `testing.B.Loop` is able to track when it is first called in a benchmark when the final iteration ends. The `b.ResetTimer` at the loop’s start and `b.StopTimer` at its end are integrated into `testing.B.Loop`, eliminating the need to manually manage the benchmark timer for setup and cleanup code. Furthermore, the Go compiler now detects loops where the condition is just a call to `testing.B.Loop` and prevents dead code elimination within the loop. In Go 1.24, this is implemented by disallowing inlining into the body of such a loop, but we plan to improve this in the future. Another nice feature of `testing.B.Loop` is its one-shot ramp-up approach. With a `b.N`-style benchmark, the testing package must call the benchmark function several times with different values of `b.N`, ra…[truncated] <title>Go 1.24 Release Notes - The Go Programming Language</title> https://go.dev/doc/go1.24 ### New benchmark function ... Benchmarks may now use the faster and less error-prone `testing.B.Loop` method to perform benchmark iterations like `for b.Loop() { ... }` in place of the typical loop structures involving `b.N` like `for range b.N`. This offers two significant advantages: ... ### New experimental testing/synctest package ... The new experimental `testing/syn ... est` package provides support for testing ... 67434 ... #### `sync` ... The implementation of `sync.Map` has been changed, improving performance, particularly for map modifications. For instance, modifications of disjoint sets of keys are much less likely to contend on larger maps, and there is no longer any ramp-up time required to achieve low-contention loads from the map ... #### `testing` ... The new `T.Context` and `B.Context` methods return a context that’s canceled after the test completes and before test cleanup functions run.

Use APIs supported by Go 1.23. wg is a sync.WaitGroup, and b is a *testing.B. The repository declares go 1.23.12, and CI uses Go 1.23. WaitGroup.Go was added in Go 1.25, and testing.B.Loop was added in Go 1.24, so these tests cannot compile in CI. Replace them with Go 1.23-compatible patterns, or raise the minimum Go version and update CI.

Resolve all remaining cherry-pick conflicts.

Conflict markers remain in three Go files. They produce syntax errors and prevent the pkg/keyspace packages from compiling.

  • pkg/keyspace/keyspace.go#L102-L102: merge the Manager fields and invalidation callback methods, then remove the markers.
  • pkg/keyspace/tso_keyspace_group.go#L416-L416: retain the intended RemoveKeyspacesFromGroup implementation, then remove the markers.
  • pkg/keyspace/keyspace_test.go#L851-L851: retain the intended test cases, then remove the markers.
