2023-12-29Make all Perl warnings fatalPeter Eisentraut
There are a lot of Perl scripts in the tree, mostly code generation and TAP tests. Occasionally, these scripts produce warnings. These are probably always mistakes on the developer side (true positives). Typical examples are warnings from genbki.pl or related when you make a mess in the catalog files during development, or warnings from tests when they massage a config file that looks different on different hosts, or mistakes during merges (e.g., duplicate subroutine definitions), or just mistakes that weren't noticed because there is a lot of output in a verbose build. This changes all warnings into fatal errors, by replacing use warnings; by use warnings FATAL => 'all'; in all Perl files.

2023-12-22Stop generating plain-text INSTALL instructions.Tom Lane
Up to now, our distribution tarballs have included a plain-text form of the installation.sgml chapter. The rationale for that was that a recipient might not have either ready internet access or HTML-viewing tools; a theory that seems downright quaint today. Maintaining the ability to generate this file is not without cost, because it puts special requirements on installation.sgml that are often overlooked. Moreover, we are moving in the direction of making our distribution tarballs be pure git snapshots for traceability/reproducibility reasons; including generated files doesn't fit into that plan. Hence, let's just drop INSTALL and remove the infrastructure for generating it. The top-level README will now recommend visiting our website to see the installation instructions. As a useful side-effect, we can get rid of README.git which has provoked confusion.

2023-12-20Add support for incremental backup.Robert Haas
To take an incremental backup, you use the new replication command UPLOAD_MANIFEST to upload the manifest for the prior backup. This prior backup could either be a full backup or another incremental backup. You then use BASE_BACKUP with the INCREMENTAL option to take the backup. pg_basebackup now has an --incremental=PATH_TO_MANIFEST option to trigger this behavior. An incremental backup is like a regular full backup except that some relation files are replaced with files with names like INCREMENTAL.${ORIGINAL_NAME}, and the backup_label file contains additional lines identifying it as an incremental backup. The new pg_combinebackup tool can be used to reconstruct a data directory from a full backup and a series of incremental backups. Patch by me.

2023-12-20Add a new WAL summarizer process.Robert Haas
When active, this process writes WAL summary files to $PGDATA/pg_wal/summaries. Each summary file contains information for a certain range of LSNs on a certain TLI. For each relation, it stores a "limit block" which is 0 if a relation is created or destroyed within a certain range of WAL records, or otherwise the shortest length to which the relation was truncated during that range of WAL records, or otherwise InvalidBlockNumber. In addition, it stores a list of blocks which have been modified during that range of WAL records, but excluding blocks which were removed by truncation after they were modified and never subsequently modified again. In other words, it tells us which blocks need to copied in case of an incremental backup covering that range of WAL records. But this doesn't yet add the capability to actually perform an incremental backup; the next patch will do that. A new parameter summarize_wal enables or disables this new background process. The background process also automatically deletes summary files that are older than wal_summarize_keep_time, if that parameter has a non-zero value and the summarizer is configured to run.

2023-12-08Allow parallel CREATE INDEX for BRIN indexesTomas Vondra
Allow using multiple worker processes to build BRIN index, which until now was supported only for BTREE indexes. For large tables this often results in significant speedup when the build is CPU-bound. The work is split in a simple way - each worker builds BRIN summaries on a subset of the table, determined by the regular parallel scan used to read the data, and feeds them into a shared tuplesort which sorts them by blkno (start of the range). The leader then reads this sorted stream of ranges, merges duplicates (which may happen if the parallel scan does not align with BRIN pages_per_range), and adds the resulting ranges into the index. The number of duplicate results produced by workers (requiring merging in the leader process) should be fairly small, thanks to how parallel scans assign chunks to workers. The likelihood of duplicate results may increase for higher pages_per_range values, but then there are fewer page ranges in total. In any case, we expect the merging to be much cheaper than summarization, so this should be a win. Most of the parallelism infrastructure is a simplified copy of the code used by BTREE indexes, omitting the parts irrelevant for BRIN indexes (e.g. uniqueness checks). This also introduces a new index AM flag amcanbuildparallel, determining whether to attempt to start parallel workers for the index build. Original patch by me, with reviews and substantial reworks by Matthias van de Meent, certainly enough to make him a co-author.

When there is a need to filter multiple tables with include and/or exclude options it's quite possible to run into the limitations of the commandline. This adds a --filter=FILENAME feature to pg_dump, pg_dumpall and pg_restore which is used to supply a file containing object exclude/include commands which work just like their commandline counterparts. The format of the file is one command per row like: <command> <object> <objectpattern> <command> can be "include" or "exclude", <object> can be table_data, index table_data_and_children, database, extension, foreign_data, function, table schema, table_and_children or trigger.

2023-11-29Optimize pg_readv/pg_pwritev single vector case.Thomas Munro
For the trivial case of iovcnt == 1, kernels are measurably slower at dealing with the more complex arguments of preadv/pwritev than the equivalent plain old pread/pwrite. The overheads are worth it for iovcnt > 1, but for 1 let's just redirect to the cheaper calls. While we could leave it to callers to worry about that, we already have to have our own pg_ wrappers for portability reasons so it seems reasonable to centralize this knowledge there (thanks to Heikki for this suggestion). Try to avoid function call overheads by making them inlinable, which might also allow the compiler to avoid the branch in some cases. For systems that don't have preadv and pwritev (currently: Windows and [closed] Solaris), we might as well pull the replacement functions up into the static inline functions too.

2023-11-28Use BIO_{get,set}_app_data instead of BIO_{get,set}_data.Tom Lane
We should have done it this way all along, but we accidentally got away with using the wrong BIO field up until OpenSSL 3.2. There, the library's BIO routines that we rely on use the "data" field for their own purposes, and our conflicting use causes assorted weird behaviors up to and including core dumps when SSL connections are attempted. Switch to using the approved field for the purpose, i.e. app_data. While at it, remove our configure probes for BIO_get_data as well as the fallback implementation. BIO_{get,set}_app_data have been there since long before any OpenSSL version that we still support, even in the back branches.

2023-11-14Support +/- infinity in the interval data type.Dean Rasheed
This adds support for infinity to the interval data type, using the same input/output representation as the other date/time data types that support infinity. This allows various arithmetic operations on infinite dates, timestamps and intervals. The new values are represented by setting all fields of the interval to INT32/64_MIN for -infinity, and INT32/64_MAX for +infinity. This ensures that they compare as less/greater than all other interval values, without the need for any special-case comparison code. Note that, since those 2 values were formerly accepted as legal finite intervals, pg_upgrade and dump/restore from an old database will turn them from finite to infinite intervals. That seems OK, since those exact values should be extremely rare in practice, and they are outside the documented range supported by the interval type, which gives us a certain amount of leeway.

2023-11-14Replace Gen_dummy_probes.sed with Gen_dummy_probes.plPeter Eisentraut
To generate a dummy probes.h file when dtrace is not available, we had two different scripts: A sed version, which is the original version, and a Perl version, which was generated by s2p. This split was necessary because Perl was not a mandatory build dependency on Unix, but sed was not guaranteed to be available on Windows. (The Meson build system used the sed version even on Windows, which was probably incorrect and probably would have had to be fixed before elevating that build system from experimental status.) As of 721856ff24, Perl is a required build dependency, so this split is no longer necessary. We can just use the Perl script in all build environments and remove a whole bunch of infrastructure to keep the two variants in sync. The new Gen_dummy_probes.pl is not the version generated by s2p but a new implementation written by hand by adapting the sed version to Perl syntax.

2023-11-13Improve readability and error detection of array_in().Tom Lane
Rewrite array_in() and its subroutines so that we make only one pass over the input text, rather than two. This requires potentially re-pallocing the working arrays values[] and nulls[] larger than our initial guess, but that cost will hopefully be made up by avoiding duplicate parsing. In any case this coding seems much clearer and more straightforward than what we had before. This also fixes array_in() to reject non-rectangular input (that is, different brace depths in different parts of the input) more reliably than before, and to give a better error message when it does so. This is analogous to the plpython and plperl fixes in 0553528e7 and f47004add. Like those PLs, we now accept input such as '{{},{}}' as a valid representation of an empty array, which we did not before. Additionally, reject explicit array subscripts that are outside the integer range (previously you just got whatever atoi() converted them to), and make some other minor improvements in error reporting. Although this is arguably a bug fix, it's also a behavioral change that might trip somebody up, so no back-patch. Tom Lane, Heikki Linnakangas, and Jian He.

2023-11-08Make ResourceOwners more easily extensible.Heikki Linnakangas
Instead of having a separate array/hash for each resource kind, use a single array and hash to hold all kinds of resources. This makes it possible to introduce new resource "kinds" without having to modify the ResourceOwnerData struct. In particular, this makes it possible for extensions to register custom resource kinds. The old approach was to have a small array of resources of each kind, and if it fills up, switch to a hash table. The new approach also uses an array and a hash, but now the array and the hash are used at the same time. The array is used to hold the recently added resources, and when it fills up, they are moved to the hash. This keeps the access to recent entries fast, even when there are a lot of long-held resources. All the resource-specific ResourceOwnerEnlarge*(), ResourceOwnerRemember*(), and ResourceOwnerForget*() functions have been replaced with three generic functions that take resource kind as argument. For convenience, we still define resource-specific wrapper macros around the generic functions with the old names, but they are now defined in the source files that use those resource kinds. The release callback no longer needs to call ResourceOwnerForget on the resource being released. ResourceOwnerRelease unregisters the resource from the owner before calling the callback. That needed some changes in bufmgr.c and some other files, where releasing the resources previously always called ResourceOwnerForget. Each resource kind specifies a release priority, and ResourceOwnerReleaseAll releases the resources in priority order. To make that possible, we have to restrict what you can do between phases. After calling ResourceOwnerRelease(), you are no longer allowed to remember any more resources in it or to forget any previously remembered resources by calling ResourceOwnerForget. There was one case where that was done previously. At subtransaction commit, AtEOSubXact_Inval() would handle the invalidation messages and call RelationFlushRelation(), which temporarily increased the reference count on the relation being flushed. We now switch to the parent subtransaction's resource owner before calling AtEOSubXact_Inval(), so that there is a valid ResourceOwner to temporarily hold that relcache reference. Other end-of-xact routines make similar calls to AtEOXact_Inval() between release phases, but I didn't see any regression test failures from those, so I'm not sure if they could reach a codepath that needs remembering extra resources. There were two exceptions to how the resource leak WARNINGs on commit were printed previously: llvmjit silently released the context without printing the warning, and a leaked buffer io triggered a PANIC. Now everything prints a WARNING, including those cases. Add tests in src/test/modules/test_resowner.

2023-11-06Remove distprepPeter Eisentraut
A PostgreSQL release tarball contains a number of prebuilt files, in particular files produced by bison, flex, perl, and well as html and man documentation. We have done this consistent with established practice at the time to not require these tools for building from a tarball. Some of these tools were hard to get, or get the right version of, from time to time, and shipping the prebuilt output was a convenience to users. Now this has at least two problems: One, we have to make the build system(s) work in two modes: Building from a git checkout and building from a tarball. This is pretty complicated, but it works so far for autoconf/make. It does not currently work for meson; you can currently only build with meson from a git checkout. Making meson builds work from a tarball seems very difficult or impossible. One particular problem is that since meson requires a separate build directory, we cannot make the build update files like gram.h in the source tree. So if you were to build from a tarball and update gram.y, you will have a gram.h in the source tree and one in the build tree, but the way things work is that the compiler will always use the one in the source tree. So you cannot, for example, make any gram.y changes when building from a tarball. This seems impossible to fix in a non-horrible way. Second, there is increased interest nowadays in precisely tracking the origin of software. We can reasonably track contributions into the git tree, and users can reasonably track the path from a tarball to packages and downloads and installs. But what happens between the git tree and the tarball is obscure and in some cases non-reproducible. The solution for both of these issues is to get rid of the step that adds prebuilt files to the tarball. The tarball now only contains what is in the git tree (*). Getting the additional build dependencies is no longer a problem nowadays, and the complications to keep these dual build modes working are significant. And of course we want to get the meson build system working universally. This commit removes the make distprep target altogether. The make dist target continues to do its job, it just doesn't call distprep anymore. (*) - The tarball also contains the INSTALL file that is built at make dist time, but not by distprep. This is unchanged for now. The make maintainer-clean target, whose job it is to remove the prebuilt files in addition to what make distclean does, is now just an alias to make distprep.

2023-10-26Migrate logical slots to the new node during an upgrade.Amit Kapila
While reading information from the old cluster, a list of logical slots is fetched. At the later part of upgrading, pg_upgrade revisits the list and restores slots by executing pg_create_logical_replication_slot() on the new cluster. Migration of logical replication slots is only supported when the old cluster is version 17.0 or later. If the old node has invalid slots or slots with unconsumed WAL records, the pg_upgrade fails. These checks are needed to prevent data loss. The significant advantage of this commit is that it makes it easy to continue logical replication even after upgrading the publisher node. Previously, pg_upgrade allowed copying publications to a new node. With this patch, adjusting the connection string to the new publisher will cause the apply worker on the subscriber to connect to the new publisher automatically. This enables seamless continuation of logical replication, even after an upgrade.

2023-10-25Remove useless self-joinsAlexander Korotkov
The Self Join Elimination (SJE) feature removes an inner join of a plain table to itself in the query tree if is proved that the join can be replaced with a scan without impacting the query result. Self join and inner relation are replaced with the outer in query, equivalence classes, and planner info structures. Also, inner restrictlist moves to the outer one with removing duplicated clauses. Thus, this optimization reduces the length of the range table list (this especially makes sense for partitioned relations), reduces the number of restriction clauses === selectivity estimations, and potentially can improve total planner prediction for the query. The SJE proof is based on innerrel_is_unique machinery. We can remove a self-join when for each outer row: 1. At most one inner row matches the join clause. 2. Each matched inner row must be (physically) the same row as the outer one. In this patch we use the next approach to identify a self-join: 1. Collect all merge-joinable join quals which look like a.x = b.x 2. Add to the list above the baseretrictinfo of the inner table. 3. Check innerrel_is_unique() for the qual list. If it returns false, skip this pair of joining tables. 4. Check uniqueness, proved by the baserestrictinfo clauses. To prove the possibility of self-join elimination inner and outer clauses must have an exact match. The relation replacement procedure is not trivial and it is partly combined with the one, used to remove useless left joins. Tests, covering this feature, were added to join.sql. Some regression tests changed due to self-join removal logic.

This allows tools that read the WAL sequentially to identify (possible) redo points when they're reached, rather than only being able to detect them in retrospect when XLOG_CHECKPOINT_ONLINE is found, possibly much later in the WAL stream.

2023-09-18Make binaryheap available to frontend code.Nathan Bossart
There are a couple of places in frontend code that could make use of this simple binary heap implementation. This commit makes binaryheap usable in frontend code, much like commit 26aaf97b68 did for StringInfo. Like StringInfo, the header file is left in lib/ to reduce the likelihood of unnecessary breakage. The frontend version of binaryheap exposes a void *-based API since frontend code does not have access to the Datum definitions. This seemed like a better approach than switching all existing uses to void * or making the Datum definitions available to frontend code.

2023-09-13Fix exception safety bug in typcache.c.Thomas Munro
If an out-of-memory error was thrown at an unfortunate time, ensure_record_cache_typmod_slot_exists() could leak memory and leave behind a global state that produced an infinite loop on the next call. Fix by merging RecordCacheArray and RecordIdentifierArray into a single array. With only one allocation or re-allocation, there is no intermediate state. Back-patch to all supported releases.

2023-09-05Remove the "snapshot too old" feature.Thomas Munro
Remove the old_snapshot_threshold setting and mechanism for producing the error "snapshot too old", originally added by commit 848ef42b. Unfortunately it had a number of known problems in terms of correctness and performance, mostly reported by Andres in the course of his work on snapshot scalability. We agreed to remove it, after a long period without an active plan to fix it. This is certainly a desirable feature, and someone might propose a new or improved implementation in the future.

2023-08-23ExtendBufferedWhat -> BufferManagerRelation.Thomas Munro
Commit 31966b15 invented a way for functions dealing with relation extension to accept a Relation in online code and an SMgrRelation in recovery code. It seems highly likely that future bufmgr.c interfaces will face the same problem, and need to do something similar. Generalize the names so that each interface doesn't have to re-invent the wheel.

2023-08-22Cache by-reference missing values in a long lived contextAndrew Dunstan
Attribute missing values might be needed past the lifetime of the tuple descriptors from which they are extracted. To avoid possibly using pointers for by-reference values which might thus be left dangling, we cache a datumCopy'd version of the datum in the TopMemoryContext. Since we first search for the value this only needs to be done once per session for any such value. Original complaint from Tom Lane, idea for mitigation by Andrew Dunstan, tweaked by Tom Lane. Backpatch to version 11 where missing values were introduced. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/[email protected]
2023-08-20Add system view pg_wait_eventsMichael Paquier
This new view, wrapped around a SRF, shows some information known about wait events, as of: - Name. - Type (Activity, I/O, Extension, etc.). - Description. All the information retrieved comes from wait_event_names.txt, and the description is the same as the documentation with filters applied to remove any XML markups. This view is useful when joined with pg_stat_activity to get the description of a wait event reported. Custom wait events for extensions are included in the view. Original idea by Yves Colin.

2023-08-19ci: macos: use cached macports installAndres Freund
A significant chunk of the time on the macos CI task is spent installing packages using homebrew. The downloads of the packages are cached, but the installation needs to happen every time. We can't cache the whole homebrew installation, because it is too large due to pre-installed packages. Speed this up by installing packages using macports and caching the installation as .dmg. That's a lot faster than unpacking a tarball. In addition, don't install llvm - it wasn't enabled when building, so it's just a waste of time/space. This substantially speeds up the mac CI time, both in the cold cache and in the warm cache case (the latter from ~1m20s to ~5s). It doesn't seem great to have diverging sources of packages for CI between branches, so backpatch to 15 (where CI was added).

2023-08-14Change custom wait events to use dynamic shared hash tablesMichael Paquier
Currently, the names of the custom wait event must be registered for each backend, requiring all these to link to the shared memory area of an extension, even if these are not loaded with shared_preload_libraries. This patch relaxes the constraints related to this infrastructure by storing the wait events and their names in two dynamic hash tables in shared memory. This has the advantage to simplify the registration of custom wait events to a single routine call that returns an event ID ready for consumption: uint32 WaitEventExtensionNew(const char *wait_event_name); The caller of this routine can then cache locally the ID returned, to be used for pgstat_report_wait_start(), WaitLatch() or a similar routine. The implementation uses two hash tables: one with a key based on the event name to avoid duplicates and a second using the event ID as key for event lookups, like on pg_stat_activity. These tables can hold a minimum of 16 entries, and a maximum of 128 entries, which should be plenty enough. The code changes done in worker_spi show how things are simplified (most of the code removed in this commit comes from there): - worker_spi_init() is gone. - No more shared memory hooks required (size requested and initialization). - The custom wait event ID is cached in the process that needs to set it, with one single call to WaitEventExtensionNew() to retrieve it. Per suggestion from Andres Freund. Author: Masahiro Ikeda, with a few tweaks from me. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/[email protected]
2023-08-14Simplify determining logical replication worker types.Amit Kapila
We deduce a LogicalRepWorker's type from the values of several different fields ('relid' and 'leader_pid') whenever logic needs to know it. In fact, the logical replication worker type is already known at the time of launching the LogicalRepWorker and it never changes for the lifetime of that process. Instead of deducing the type, it is simpler to just store it one time, and access it directly thereafter.

2023-07-31Support custom wait events for wait event type "Extension"Michael Paquier
Two backend routines are added to allow extension to allocate and define custom wait events, all of these being allocated in the type "Extension": * WaitEventExtensionNew(), that allocates a wait event ID computed from a counter in shared memory. * WaitEventExtensionRegisterName(), to associate a custom string to the wait event ID allocated. Note that this includes an example of how to use this new facility in worker_spi with tests in TAP for various scenarios, and some documentation about how to use them. Any code in the tree that currently uses WAIT_EVENT_EXTENSION could switch to this new facility to define custom wait events. This is left as work for future patches.
