`StringPath` class is something similar to Ruby's `Pathname` class,
but does not involve any IO operations. `StringPath` objects require
passing string representation of path, and array of paths that
represents universe to constructor to be intantiated.
LDAP Sync blocked user edgecases
Allow GitLab admins to block otherwise valid GitLab LDAP users
(https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/3462)
Based on the discussion on the original issue, we are going to differentiate "normal" block operations to the ldap automatic ones in order to make some decisions when its one or the other.
Expected behavior:
- [x] "ldap_blocked" users respond to both `blocked?` and `ldap_blocked?`
- [x] "ldap_blocked" users can't be unblocked by the Admin UI
- [x] "ldap_blocked" users can't be unblocked by the API
- [x] Block operations that are originated from LDAP synchronization will flag user as "ldap_blocked"
- [x] Only "ldap_blocked" users will be automatically unblocked by LDAP synchronization
- [x] When LDAP identity is removed, we should convert `ldap_blocked` into `blocked`
Mockup for the Admin UI with both "ldap_blocked" and normal "blocked" users:
There will be another MR for the EE version.

Sampling data at a fixed interval means we can potentially miss data
from events occurring between sampling intervals. For example, say we
sample data every 15 seconds but Unicorn workers get killed after 10
seconds. In this particular case it's possible to miss interesting data
as the sampler will never get to actually submitting data.
To work around this (at least for the most part) the sampling interval
is randomized as following:
1. Take the user specified sampling interval (15 seconds by default)
2. Divide it by 2 (referred to as "half" below)
3. Generate a range (using a step of 0.1) from -"half" to "half"
4. Every time the sampler goes to sleep we'll grab the user provided
interval and add a randomly chosen "adjustment" to it while making
sure we don't pick the same value twice in a row.
For a specified timeout of 15 this means the actual intervals can be
anywhere between 7.5 and 22.5, but never can the same interval be used
twice in a row.
The rationale behind this change is that on dev.gitlab.org I'm sometimes
seeing certain Gitlab::Git/Rugged objects being retained, but only for a
few minutes every 24 hours. Knowing the code of Gitlab and how much
memory it uses/leaks I suspect we're missing data due to workers getting
terminated before the sampler can write its data to InfluxDB.
Where a vew is called from doesn't matter as much. We already know what
action they belong to and this is more than enough information. By
removing the file/line number from the list of tags we should also be
able to reduce the number of series stored in InfluxDB.
This gives a very rough estimate of how much memory is allocated during
a transaction. This only works reliably when using a single-threaded
application server and a Ruby implementation with a GIL as otherwise
memory allocated by other threads might skew the statistics. Sadly
there's no way around this as Ruby doesn't provide a reliable way of
gathering accurate object sizes upon allocation on a per-thread basis.
Optimize LDAP and add a search timeout
Related to #4282
This merge request arranges some things in `access.rb` to facilitate some optimizations in EE (to come later). It also adds a 10 second timeout to all LDAP searches so the entire worker is not blocked if some query doesn't return in a reasonable amount of time. This timeout is configurable per LDAP server.
See merge request !2267
Without this it's impossible to find out what methods/views/queries are
executed by a certain controller or Sidekiq worker. While this will
increase the total number of series it should stay within reasonable
limits due to the amount of "actions" being small enough.
Suppress e-mails on failed builds if allow_failure is set
Every time I push to GitLab, I get > 2 emails saying a spec failed when I don't care about the benchmarks and others that have `allow_failure` set to `true`.
@ayufan mentioned creating a summary e-mail to prevent getting one e-mail per build, but the latter might actually be desirable. For example, I do want to know if Rubocop errors fail right away.

Since filtering by these values is very rare (they're mostly just
displayed as-is) we don't need to waste any index space by saving them
as tags. By storing them as values we also greatly reduce the number of
series in InfluxDB.
This reverts commit 7549102bb7.
Apparently I was wrong about
ActiveSupport::Notifications::Event#duration returning the duration in
seconds, instead it returns it in milliseconds already.
