Refactoring ahead of tablesample patch
Requested and reviewed by Michael Paquier

This feature lets user code inspect and take action on DDL events.
Whenever a ddl_command_end event trigger is installed, DDL actions
executed are saved to a list which can be inspected during execution of
a function attached to ddl_command_end.
The set-returning function pg_event_trigger_ddl_commands can be used to
list actions so captured; it returns data about the type of command
executed, as well as the affected object. This is sufficient for many
uses of this feature. For the cases where it is not, we also provide a
"command" column of a new pseudo-type pg_ddl_command, which is a
pointer to a C structure that can be accessed by C code. The struct
contains all the info necessary to completely inspect and even
reconstruct the executed command.
There is no actual deparse code here; that's expected to come later.
What we have is enough infrastructure that the deparsing can be done in
an external extension. The intention is that we will add some deparsing
code in a later release, as an in-core extension.
A new test module is included. It's probably insufficient as is, but it
should be sufficient as a starting point for a more complete and
future-proof approach.

INSERT acquires RowExclusiveLock during normal operation and therefore
it makes sense to allow LOCK TABLE .. ROW EXCLUSIVE MODE to be executed
by users who have INSERT rights on a table (even if they don't have
UPDATE or DELETE).
Not back-patching this as it's a behavior change which, strictly
speaking, loosens security restrictions.
Per discussion with Tom and Robert (circa 2013).

If a row that potentially violates a deferred exclusion constraint is
HOT-updated later in the same transaction, the exclusion constraint would
be reported as violated when the check finally occurs, even if the row(s)
the new row originally conflicted with have since been removed. This
happened because the wrong TID was passed to check_exclusion_constraint(),
causing the live HOT-updated row to be seen as a conflicting row rather
than recognized as the row-under-test.
Per bug #13148 from Evan Martin. It's been broken since exclusion
constraints were invented, so back-patch to all supported branches.

Commit e7cb7ee14555cc9c5773e2c102efd6371f6f2005 included some design
decisions that seem pretty questionable to me, and there was quite a lot
of stuff not to like about the documentation and comments. Clean up
as follows:
* Consider foreign joins only between foreign tables on the same server,
rather than between any two foreign tables with the same underlying FDW
handler function. In most if not all cases, the FDW would simply have had
to apply the same-server restriction itself (far more expensively, both for
lack of caching and because it would be repeated for each combination of
input sub-joins), or else risk nasty bugs. Anyone who's really intent on
doing something outside this restriction can always use the
set_join_pathlist_hook.
* Rename fdw_ps_tlist/custom_ps_tlist to fdw_scan_tlist/custom_scan_tlist
to better reflect what they're for, and allow these custom scan tlists
to be used even for base relations.
* Change make_foreignscan() API to include passing the fdw_scan_tlist
value, since the FDW is required to set that. Backwards compatibility
doesn't seem like an adequate reason to expect FDWs to set it in some
ad-hoc extra step, and anyway existing FDWs can just pass NIL.
* Change the API of path-generating subroutines of add_paths_to_joinrel,
and in particular that of GetForeignJoinPaths and set_join_pathlist_hook,
so that various less-used parameters are passed in a struct rather than
as separate parameter-list entries. The objective here is to reduce the
probability that future additions to those parameter lists will result in
source-level API breaks for users of these hooks. It's possible that this
is even a small win for the core code, since most CPU architectures can't
pass more than half a dozen parameters efficiently anyway. I kept root,
joinrel, outerrel, innerrel, and jointype as separate parameters to reduce
code churn in joinpath.c --- in particular, putting jointype into the
struct would have been problematic because of the subroutines' habit of
changing their local copies of that variable.
* Avoid ad-hocery in ExecAssignScanProjectionInfo. It was probably all
right for it to know about IndexOnlyScan, but if the list is to grow
we should refactor the knowledge out to the callers.
* Restore nodeForeignscan.c's previous use of the relcache to avoid
extra GetFdwRoutine lookups for base-relation scans.
* Lots of cleanup of documentation and missed comments. Re-order some
code additions into more logical places.

The logic introduced in commit b69bf30b9bfacafc733a9ba77c9587cf54d06c0c
and repaired in commits 669c7d20e6374850593cb430d332e11a3992bbcf and
7be47c56af3d3013955c91c2877c08f2a0e3e6a2 helps to ensure that we don't
overwrite old multixact member information while it is still needed,
but a user who creates many large multixacts can still exhaust the
member space (and thus start getting errors) while autovacuum stands
idly by.
To fix this, progressively ramp down the effective value (but not the
actual contents) of autovacuum_multixact_freeze_max_age as member space
utilization increases. This makes autovacuum more aggressive and also
reduces the threshold for a manual VACUUM to perform a full-table scan.
This patch leaves unsolved the problem of ensuring that emergency
autovacuums are triggered even when autovacuum=off. We'll need to fix
that via a separate patch.

The newly added ON CONFLICT clause allows to specify an alternative to
raising a unique or exclusion constraint violation error when inserting.
ON CONFLICT refers to constraints that can either be specified using a
inference clause (by specifying the columns of a unique constraint) or
by naming a unique or exclusion constraint. DO NOTHING avoids the
constraint violation, without touching the pre-existing row. DO UPDATE
SET ... [WHERE ...] updates the pre-existing tuple, and has access to
both the tuple proposed for insertion and the existing tuple; the
optional WHERE clause can be used to prevent an update from being
executed. The UPDATE SET and WHERE clauses have access to the tuple
proposed for insertion using the "magic" EXCLUDED alias, and to the
pre-existing tuple using the table name or its alias.
This feature is often referred to as upsert.
This is implemented using a new infrastructure called "speculative
insertion". It is an optimistic variant of regular insertion that first
does a pre-check for existing tuples and then attempts an insert. If a
violating tuple was inserted concurrently, the speculatively inserted
tuple is deleted and a new attempt is made. If the pre-check finds a
matching tuple the alternative DO NOTHING or DO UPDATE action is taken.
If the insertion succeeds without detecting a conflict, the tuple is
deemed inserted.
To handle the possible ambiguity between the excluded alias and a table
named excluded, and for convenience with long relation names, INSERT
INTO now can alias its target table.

Previously, relation range table entries used a single Bitmapset field
representing which columns required either UPDATE or INSERT privileges,
despite the fact that INSERT and UPDATE privileges are separately
cataloged, and may be independently held. As statements so far required
either insert or update privileges but never both, that was
sufficient. The required permission could be inferred from the top level
statement run.
The upcoming INSERT ... ON CONFLICT UPDATE feature needs to
independently check for both privileges in one statement though, so that
is not sufficient anymore.

When altering the deferredness state of a foreign key constraint, we
correctly updated the catalogs and then invalidated the relcache state for
the target relation ... but that's not the only relation with relevant

Foreign data wrappers can use this capability for so-called "join
pushdown"; that is, instead of executing two separate foreign scans
and then joining the results locally, they can generate a path which
performs the join on the remote server and then is scanned locally.
This commit does not extend postgres_fdw to take advantage of this
capability; it just provides the infrastructure.
Custom scan providers can use this in a similar way. Previously,
it was only possible for a custom scan provider to scan a single
relation. Now, it can scan an entire join tree, provided of course
that it knows how to produce the same results that the join would
have produced if executed normally.

This does four basic things. First, it provides convenience routines
to coordinate the startup and shutdown of parallel workers. Second,
it synchronizes various pieces of state (e.g. GUCs, combo CID
mappings, transaction snapshot) from the parallel group leader to the
worker processes. Third, it prohibits various operations that would
result in unsafe changes to that state while parallelism is active.
Finally, it propagates events that would result in an ErrorResponse,
NoticeResponse, or NotifyResponse message being sent to the client
from the parallel workers back to the master, from which they can then
be sent on to the client.

pg_dump has historically assumed that default_with_oids affects only plain
tables and not other relkinds. Conceivably we could make it apply to some
newly invented relkind if we did so from the get-go, but changing the
behavior for existing object types will break existing dump scripts.
Add code comments warning about this interaction.
Also, make sure that default_with_oids doesn't cause parse_utilcmd.c to
think that CREATE FOREIGN TABLE will create an OID column. I think this is
only a latent bug right now, since we don't allow UNIQUE/PKEY constraints
in CREATE FOREIGN TABLE, but it's better to be consistent and future-proof.

Previously, these functions were created in a schema "binary_upgrade",
which was deleted after pg_upgrade was finished. Because we don't want
to keep that schema around permanently, move them to pg_catalog but
rename them with a binary_upgrade_... prefix.
The provided functions are only small wrappers around global variables
that were added specifically for pg_upgrade use, so keeping the module
separate does not create any modularity.
The functions still check that they are only called in binary upgrade
mode, so it is not possible to call these during normal operation.

It now also reports temporary objects dropped that are local to the
backend. Previously we weren't reporting any temp objects because it
was deemed unnecessary; but as it turns out, it is necessary if we want
to keep close track of DDL command execution inside one session. Temp
objects are reported as living in schema pg_temp, which works because
such a schema-qualification always refers to the temp objects of the
current session.

This lets later stages have access to the transformed expression; in
particular it allows DDL-deparsing code during event triggers to pass
the transformed expression to ruleutils.c, so that the complete command
can be deparsed.
This shuffles the timing of the transform calls a bit: previously,
nothing was transformed during parse analysis, and only the
RELKIND_RELATION case was being handled during execution. After this
patch, all expressions are transformed during parse analysis (including
those for relkinds other than RELATION), and the error for other
relation kinds is thrown only during execution. So we do more work than
before to reject some bogus cases. That seems acceptable.

Since commit a2e35b53c39b2a, most CREATE and ALTER commands return the
ObjectAddress of the affected object. This is useful for event triggers
to try to figure out exactly what happened. This patch extends this
idea a bit further to cover ALTER TABLE as well: an auxiliary
ObjectAddress is returned for each of several subcommands of ALTER
TABLE. This makes it possible to decode with precision what happened
during execution of any ALTER TABLE command; for instance, which
constraint was added by ALTER TABLE ADD CONSTRAINT, or which parent got
dropped from the parents list by ALTER TABLE NO INHERIT.

Foreign tables can now be inheritance children, or parents. Much of the
system was already ready for this, but we had to fix a few things of
course, mostly in the area of planner and executor handling of row locks.
As side effects of this, allow foreign tables to have NOT VALID CHECK
constraints (and hence to accept ALTER ... VALIDATE CONSTRAINT), and to
accept ALTER SET STORAGE and ALTER SET WITH/WITHOUT OIDS. Continuing to
disallow these things would've required bizarre and inconsistent special
cases in inheritance behavior. Since foreign tables don't enforce CHECK
constraints anyway, a NOT VALID one is a complete no-op, but that doesn't
mean we shouldn't allow it. And it's possible that some FDWs might have
use for SET STORAGE or SET WITH OIDS, though doubtless they will be no-ops
for most.
An additional change in support of this is that when a ModifyTable node
has multiple target tables, they will all now be explicitly identified
in EXPLAIN output, for example:
Update on pt1 (cost=0.00..321.05 rows=3541 width=46)
Update on pt1
Foreign Update on ft1
Foreign Update on ft2
Update on child3
-> Seq Scan on pt1 (cost=0.00..0.00 rows=1 width=46)
-> Foreign Scan on ft1 (cost=100.00..148.03 rows=1170 width=46)
-> Foreign Scan on ft2 (cost=100.00..148.03 rows=1170 width=46)
-> Seq Scan on child3 (cost=0.00..25.00 rows=1200 width=46)
This was done mainly to provide an unambiguous place to attach "Remote SQL"
fields, but it is useful for inherited updates even when no foreign tables
are involved.

We were involving the parser too much in setting up initial vacuuming
parameters. This patch moves that responsibility elsewhere to simplify
code, and also to make future additions easier. To do this, create a
new struct VacuumParams which is filled just prior to vacuum execution,
instead of at parse time; for user-invoked vacuuming this is set up in a
new function ExecVacuum, while autovacuum sets it up by itself.
While at it, add a new member VACOPT_SKIPTOAST to enum VacuumOption,
only set by autovacuum, which is used to disable vacuuming of the toast
table instead of the old do_toast parameter; this relieves the argument
list of vacuum() and some callees a bit. This partially makes up for
having added more arguments in an effort to avoid having autovacuum from
constructing a VacuumStmt parse node.

In the spirit of 890192e99af and 4464303405f: have get_object_address
understand individual pg_amop and pg_amproc objects. There is no way to
refer to such objects directly in the grammar -- rather, they are almost
always considered an integral part of the opfamily that contains them.
(The only case that deals with them individually is ALTER OPERATOR
FAMILY ADD/DROP, which carries the opfamily address separately and thus
does not need it to be part of each added/dropped element's address.)
In event triggers it becomes possible to become involved with individual
amop/amproc elements, and this commit enables pg_get_object_address to
do so as well.
To make the overall coding simpler, this commit also slightly changes
the get_object_address representation for opclasses and opfamilies:
instead of having the AM name in the objargs array, I moved it as the
first element of the objnames array. This enables the new code to use
objargs for the type names used by pg_amop and pg_amproc.

now, too.
I toyed with the idea of removing DropUserMappingStmt as a node and
using DropStmt instead in the DropUserMappingStmt grammar production,
but that didn't go very well: for one thing the messages thrown by the
specific code are specialized (you get "server not found" if you specify
the wrong server, instead of a generic "user mapping for ... not found"
which you'd get it we were to merge this with RemoveObjects --- unless
we added even more special cases). For another thing, it would require
to pass RoleSpec nodes through the objname/objargs representation used
by RemoveObjects, which works in isolation, but gets messy when
pg_get_object_address is involved. So I dropped this part for now.

The changed routines are mostly those that can be directly called by
ProcessUtilitySlow; the intention is to make the affected object
information more precise, in support for future event trigger changes.
Originally it was envisioned that the OID of the affected object would
be enough, and in most cases that is correct, but upon actually
implementing the event trigger changes it turned out that ObjectAddress
is more widely useful.
Additionally, some command execution routines grew an output argument
that's an object address which provides further info about the executed
command. To wit:
* for ALTER DOMAIN / ADD CONSTRAINT, it corresponds to the address of
the new constraint
* for ALTER OBJECT / SET SCHEMA, it corresponds to the address of the
schema that originally contained the object.
* for ALTER EXTENSION {ADD, DROP} OBJECT, it corresponds to the address
of the object added to or dropped from the extension.

Previously, we cached domain constraints for the life of a query, or
really for the life of the FmgrInfo struct that was used to invoke
domain_in() or domain_check(). But plpgsql (and probably other places)
are set up to cache such FmgrInfos for the whole lifespan of a session,
which meant they could be enforcing really stale sets of constraints.
On the other hand, searching pg_constraint once per query gets kind of
expensive too: testing says that as much as half the runtime of a
trivial query such as "SELECT 0::domaintype" went into that.
To fix this, delegate the responsibility for tracking a domain's
constraints to the typcache, which has the infrastructure needed to
detect syscache invalidation events that signal possible changes.
This not only removes unnecessary repeat reads of pg_constraint,
but ensures that we never apply stale constraint data: whatever we
use is the current data according to syscache rules.
Unfortunately, the current configuration of the system catalogs means
we have to flush cached domain-constraint data whenever either pg_type
or pg_constraint changes, which happens rather a lot (eg, creation or
deletion of a temp table will do it). It might be worth rearranging
things to split pg_constraint into two catalogs, of which the domain
constraint one would probably be very low-traffic. That's a job for
another patch though, and in any case this patch should improve matters
materially even with that handicap.
This patch makes use of the recently-added memory context reset callback
feature to manage the lifespan of domain constraint caches, so that we
don't risk deleting a cache that might be in the midst of evaluation.
Although this is a bug fix as well as a performance improvement, no
back-patch. There haven't been many if any field complaints about
stale domain constraint checks, so it doesn't seem worth taking the
risk of modifying data structures as basic as MemoryContexts in back
branches.

The way that columns are added to a view is by calling
AlterTableInternal with special subtype AT_AddColumnToView; but that
subtype is changed to AT_AddColumnRecurse by ATPrepAddColumn. This has
no visible effect in the current code, since views cannot have
inheritance children (thus the recursion step is a no-op) and adding a
column to a view is executed identically to doing it to a table; but it
does make a difference for future event trigger code keeping track of
commands, because the current situation leads to confusing the case with
a normal ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN.
Fix the problem by passing a flag to ATPrepAddColumn to prevent it from
changing the command subtype. The event trigger code can then properly
ignore the subcommand. (We could remove the call to ATPrepAddColumn,
since views are never typed, and there is never a need for recursion,
which are the two conditions that are checked by ATPrepAddColumn; but it
seems more future-proof to keep the call in place.)

When a composite type being used in a typed table is modified by way
of ALTER TYPE, a table rewrite occurs appearing to come from ALTER TYPE.
The existing event_trigger.c code was unable to cope with that
and raised a spurious error. The fix is just to accept that command
tag for the event, and document this properly.
Noted while fooling with deparsing of DDL commands. This appears to be
an oversight in commit 618c9430a.
Thanks to Mark Wong for documentation wording help.

Up to now RecordTransactionCommit() waited for WAL to be flushed (if
synchronous_commit != off) and to be synchronously replicated (if
enabled), even if a transaction did not have a xid assigned. The primary
reason for that is that sequence's nextval() did not assign a xid, but
are worthwhile to wait for on commit.
This can be problematic because sometimes read only transactions do
write WAL, e.g. HOT page prune records. That then could lead to read only
transactions having to wait during commit. Not something people expect
in a read only transaction.
This lead to such strange symptoms as backends being seemingly stuck
during connection establishment when all synchronous replicas are
down. Especially annoying when said stuck connection is the standby
trying to reconnect to allow syncrep again...
This behavior also is involved in a rather complicated <= 9.4 bug where
the transaction started by catchup interrupt processing waited for
syncrep using latches, but didn't get the wakeup because it was already
running inside the same overloaded signal handler. Fix the issue here
doesn't properly solve that issue, merely papers over the problems. In
9.5 catchup interrupts aren't processed out of signal handlers anymore.
To fix all this, make nextval() acquire a top level xid, and only wait for
transaction commit if a transaction both acquired a xid and emitted WAL
records. If only a xid has been assigned we don't uselessly want to
wait just because of writes to temporary/unlogged tables; if only WAL
has been written we don't want to wait just because of HOT prunes.
The xid assignment in nextval() is unlikely to cause overhead in
real-world workloads. For one it only happens SEQ_LOG_VALS/32 values
anyway, for another only usage of nextval() without using the result in
an insert or similar is affected.

Per complaint from maumau and Thom Brown
Backpatch all the way back; 9.0 doesn't have syncrep, but it seems
better to be consistent behavior across all maintained branches.
