Avi Kivity 4c6ddcf6c1 Merge 'sstables: Fix use-after-free on page cache buffer when parsing promoted index entries across pages' from Tomasz Grabiec
This fixes a use-after-free bug when parsing clustering key across
pages.

Also includes a fix for allocating section retry, which is potentially not safe (not in practice yet).

Details of the first problem:

Clustering key index lookup is based on the index file page cache. We
do a binary search within the index, which involves parsing index
blocks touched by the algorithm. Index file pages are 4 KB chunks
which are stored in LSA.

To parse the first key of the block, we reuse clustering_parser, which
is also used when parsing the data file. The parser is stateful and
accepts consecutive chunks as temporary_buffers. The parser is
supposed to keep its state across chunks.

In 93482439, the promoted index cursor was optimized to avoid
fully page copy when parsing index blocks. Instead, parser is
given a temporary_buffer which is a view on the page.

A bit earlier, in b1b5bda, the parser was changed to keep shared
fragments of the buffer passed to the parser in its internal state (across pages)
rather than copy the fragments into a new buffer. This is problematic
when buffers come from page cache because LSA buffers may be moved
around or evicted. So the temporary_buffer which is a view on the LSA
buffer is valid only around the duration of a single consume() call to
the parser.

If the blob which is parsed (e.g. variable-length clustering key
component) spans pages, the fragments stored in the parser may be
invalidated before the component is fully parsed. As a result, the
parsed clustering key may have incorrect component values. This never
causes parsing errors because the "length" field is always parsed from
the current buffer, which is valid, and component parsing will end at
the right place in the next (valid) buffer.

The problematic path for clustering_key parsing is the one which calls
primitive_consumer::read_bytes(), which is called for example for text
components. Fixed-size components are not parsed like this, they store
the intermediate state by copying data.

This may cause incorrect clustering keys to be parsed when doing
binary search in the index, diverting the search to an incorrect
block.

Details of the solution:

We adapt page_view to a temporary_buffer-like API. For this, a new concept
is introduced called ContiguousSharedBuffer. We also change parsers so that
they can be templated on the type of the buffer they work with (page_view vs
temporary_buffer). This way we don't introduce indirection to existing algorithms.

We use page_view instead of temporary_buffer in the promoted
index parser which works with page cache buffers. page_view can be safely
shared via share() and stored across allocating sections. It keeps hold to the
LSA buffer even across allocating sections by the means of cached_file::page_ptr.

Fixes #20766
