* Improve relcache invalidation handling of currently invisible relations.Andres Freund2015-01-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The corner case where a relcache invalidation tried to rebuild the entry for a referenced relation but couldn't find it in the catalog wasn't correct. The code tried to RelationCacheDelete/RelationDestroyRelation the entry. That didn't work when assertions are enabled because the latter contains an assertion ensuring the refcount is zero. It's also more generally a bad idea, because by virtue of being referenced somebody might actually look at the entry, which is possible if the error is trapped and handled via a subtransaction abort. Instead just error out, without deleting the entry. As the entry is marked invalid, the worst that can happen is that the invalid (and at some point unused) entry lingers in the relcache. Discussion: 22459.1418656530@sss.pgh.pa.us There should be no way to hit this case < 9.4 where logical decoding introduced a bug that can hit this. But since the code for handling the corner case is there it should do something halfway sane, so backpatch all the the way back. The logical decoding bug will be handled in a separate commit.

* Fix oversight in recent pg_basebackup fix causing pg_receivexlog failures.Andres Freund2015-01-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | A oversight in 2c0a485896 causes 'could not create archive status file "...": No such file or directory' errors in pg_receivexlog if the target directory doesn't happen to contain a archive_status directory. That's due to a stupidly left over 'true' constant instead of mark_done being passed down to ProcessXLogDataMsg(). The bug is only present in the master branch, and luckily wasn't released. Spotted by Fujii Masao.

* Fix thinko in lock mode enumAlvaro Herrera2015-01-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 0e5680f4737a9c6aa94aa9e77543e5de60411322 contained a thinko mixing LOCKMODE with LockTupleMode. This caused misbehavior in the case where a tuple is marked with a multixact with at most a FOR SHARE lock, and another transaction tries to acquire a FOR NO KEY EXCLUSIVE lock; this case should block but doesn't. Include a new isolation tester spec file to explicitely try all the tuple lock combinations; without the fix it shows the problem: starting permutation: s1_begin s1_lcksvpt s1_tuplock2 s2_tuplock3 s1_commit step s1_begin: BEGIN; step s1_lcksvpt: SELECT * FROM multixact_conflict FOR KEY SHARE; SAVEPOINT foo; a 1 step s1_tuplock2: SELECT * FROM multixact_conflict FOR SHARE; a 1 step s2_tuplock3: SELECT * FROM multixact_conflict FOR NO KEY UPDATE; a 1 step s1_commit: COMMIT; With the fixed code, step s2_tuplock3 blocks until session 1 commits, which is the correct behavior. All other cases behave correctly. Backpatch to 9.3, like the commit that introduced the problem.
* Add error handling for failing fstat() calls in copy.c.Andres Freund2015-01-04
| | | | | | | | | These calls are pretty much guaranteed not to fail unless something has gone horribly wrong, and even in that case we'd just error out a short time later. But since several code checkers complain about the missing check it seems worthwile to fix it nonetheless. Pointed out by Coverity.
* Correctly handle test durations of more than 2147s in pg_test_timing.Andres Freund2015-01-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | Previously the computation of the total test duration, measured in microseconds, accidentally overflowed due to accidentally using signed 32bit arithmetic. As the only consequence is that pg_test_timing invocations with such, overly large, durations never finished the practical consequences of this bug are minor. Pointed out by Coverity. Backpatch to 9.2 where pg_test_timing was added.
* Fix off-by-one in pg_xlogdump's fuzzy_open_file().Andres Freund2015-01-04
| | | | | | | | | In the unlikely case of stdin (fd 0) being closed, the off-by-one would lead to pg_xlogdump failing to open files. Spotted by Coverity. Backpatch to 9.3 where pg_xlogdump was introduced.

* Fix inconsequential fd leak in the new mark_file_as_archived() function.Andres Freund2015-01-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | As every error in mark_file_as_archived() will lead to a failure of pg_basebackup the FD leak couldn't ever lead to a real problem. It seems better to fix the leak anyway though, rather than silence Coverity, as the usage of the function might get extended or copied at some point in the future. Pointed out by Coverity. Backpatch to 9.2, like the relevant part of the previous patch.
* Prevent WAL files created by pg_basebackup -x/X from being archived again.Andres Freund2015-01-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | WAL (and timeline history) files created by pg_basebackup did not maintain the new base backup's archive status. That's currently not a problem if the new node is used as a standby - but if that node is promoted all still existing files can get archived again. With a high wal_keep_segment settings that can happen a significant time later - which is quite confusing. Change both the backend (for the -x/-X fetch case) and pg_basebackup (for -X stream) itself to always mark WAL/timeline files included in the base backup as .done. That's in line with walreceiver.c doing so. The verbosity of the pg_basebackup changes show pretty clearly that it needs some refactoring, but that'd result in not be backpatchable changes. Backpatch to 9.1 where pg_basebackup was introduced. Discussion: 20141205002854.GE21964@awork2.anarazel.de
* Add pg_string_endswith as the start of a string helper library in src/common.Andres Freund2015-01-03
| | | | | | Backpatch to 9.3 where src/common was introduce, because a bugfix that needs to be backpatched, requires the function. Earlier branches will have to duplicate the code.
* Treat negative values of recovery_min_apply_delay as having no effect.Tom Lane2015-01-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At one point in the development of this feature, it was claimed that allowing negative values would be useful to compensate for timezone differences between master and slave servers. That was based on a mistaken assumption that commit timestamps are recorded in local time; but of course they're in UTC. Nor is a negative apply delay likely to be a sane way of coping with server clock skew. However, the committed patch still treated negative delays as doing something, and the timezone misapprehension survived in the user documentation as well. If recovery_min_apply_delay were a proper GUC we'd just set the minimum allowed value to be zero; but for the moment it seems better to treat negative settings as if they were zero. In passing do some extra wordsmithing on the parameter's documentation, including correcting a second misstatement that the parameter affects processing of Restore Point records. Issue noted by Michael Paquier, who also provided the code patch; doc changes by me. Back-patch to 9.4 where the feature was introduced.

* Don't run rowsecurity in parallel with other regression tests.Tom Lane2014-12-31

* Docs: improve descriptions of ISO week-numbering date features.Tom Lane2014-12-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use the phraseology "ISO 8601 week-numbering year" in place of just "ISO year", and make related adjustments to other terminology. The point of this change is that it seems some people see "ISO year" and think "standard year", whereupon they're surprised when constructs like to_char(..., "IYYY-MM-DD") produce nonsensical results. Perhaps hanging a few more adjectives on it will discourage them from jumping to false conclusions. I put in an explicit warning against that specific usage, too, though the main point is to discourage people who haven't read this far down the page. In passing fix some nearby markup and terminology inconsistencies.
* Print more information about getObjectIdentityParts() failures.Tom Lane2014-12-31
| | | | | | | This might help us debug what's happening on some buildfarm members. In passing, reduce the message from ereport to elog --- it doesn't seem like this should be a user-facing case, so not worth translating.
* Improve consistency of parsing of psql's magic variables.Tom Lane2014-12-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For simple boolean variables such as ON_ERROR_STOP, psql has for a long time recognized variant spellings of "on" and "off" (such as "1"/"0"), and it also made a point of warning you if you'd misspelled the setting. But these conveniences did not exist for other keyword-valued variables. In particular, though ECHO_HIDDEN and ON_ERROR_ROLLBACK include "on" and "off" as possible values, none of the alternative spellings for those were recognized; and to make matters worse the code would just silently assume "on" was meant for any unrecognized spelling. Several people have reported getting bitten by this, so let's fix it. In detail, this patch: * Allows all spellings recognized by ParseVariableBool() for ECHO_HIDDEN and ON_ERROR_ROLLBACK. * Reports a warning for unrecognized values for COMP_KEYWORD_CASE, ECHO, ECHO_HIDDEN, HISTCONTROL, ON_ERROR_ROLLBACK, and VERBOSITY. * Recognizes all values for all these variables case-insensitively; previously there was a mishmash of case-sensitive and case-insensitive behaviors. Back-patch to all supported branches. There is a small risk of breaking existing scripts that were accidentally failing to malfunction; but the consensus is that the chance of detecting real problems and preventing future mistakes outweighs this.

* pg_event_trigger_dropped_objects: Add name/args output columnsAlvaro Herrera2014-12-30
| | | | | | | | | These columns can be passed to pg_get_object_address() and used to reconstruct the dropped objects identities in a remote server containing similar objects, so that the drop can be replicated. Reviewed by Stephen Frost, Heikki Linnakangas, Abhijit Menon-Sen, Andres Freund.
* Add pg_identify_object_as_addressAlvaro Herrera2014-12-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | This function returns object type and objname/objargs arrays, which can be passed to pg_get_object_address. This is especially useful because the textual representation can be copied to a remote server in order to obtain the corresponding OID-based address. In essence, this function is the inverse of recently added pg_get_object_address(). Catalog version bumped due to the addition of the new function. Also add docs to pg_get_object_address.

* Use TypeName to represent type names in certain commandsAlvaro Herrera2014-12-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In COMMENT, DROP, SECURITY LABEL, and the new pg_get_object_address function, we were representing types as a list of names, same as other objects; but types are special objects that require their own representation to be totally accurate. In the original COMMENT code we had a note about fixing it which was lost in the course of c10575ff005. Change all those places to use TypeName instead, as suggested by that comment. Right now the original coding doesn't cause any bugs, so no backpatch. It is more problematic for proposed future code that operate with object addresses from the SQL interface; type details such as array-ness are lost when working with the degraded representation. Thanks to Petr JelĂ­nek and Dimitri Fontaine for offlist help on finding a solution to a shift/reduce grammar conflict.
* Revert the GinMaxItemSize calculation so that we fit 3 tuples per page.Heikki Linnakangas2014-12-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 36a35c55 changed the divisor from 3 to 6, for no apparent reason. Reducing GinMaxItemSize like that created a dump/reload hazard: loading a 9.3 database to 9.4 might fail with "index row size XXX exceeds maximum 1352 for index ..." error. Revert the change. While we're at it, make the calculation slightly more accurate. It used to divide the available space on page by three, then subtract sizeof(ItemIdData), and finally round down. That's not totally accurate; the item pointers for the three items are packed tight right after the page header, but there is alignment padding after the item pointers. Change the calculation to reflect that, like BTMaxItemSize does. I tested this with different block sizes on systems with 4- and 8-byte alignment, and the value after the final MAXALIGN_DOWN was the same with both methods on all configurations. So this does not make any difference currently, but let's be tidy. Also add a comment explaining what the macro does. This fixes bug #12292 reported by Robert Thaler. Backpatch to 9.4, where the bug was introduced.

* Assorted minor fixes for psql metacommand docs.Tom Lane2014-12-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | Document the long forms of \H \i \ir \o \p \r \w ... apparently, we have a long and dishonorable history of leaving out the unabbreviated names of psql backslash commands. Avoid saying "Unix shell"; we can just say "shell" with equal clarity, and not leave Windows users wondering whether the feature works for them. Improve consistency of documentation of \g \o \w metacommands. There's no reason to use slightly different wording or markup for each one.

* Remove event trigger from object_address testAlvaro Herrera2014-12-26
| | | | | | | | It is causing trouble when run in parallel mode, because dropping the function other sessions are running concurrently causes them to fail due to inability to find the function. Per buildfarm, as noted by Tom Lane.
* Grab heavyweight tuple lock only before sleepingAlvaro Herrera2014-12-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We were trying to acquire the lock even when we were subsequently not sleeping in some other transaction, which opens us up unnecessarily to deadlocks. In particular, this is troublesome if an update tries to lock an updated version of a tuple and finds itself doing EvalPlanQual update chain walking; more than two sessions doing this concurrently will find themselves sleeping on each other because the HW tuple lock acquisition in heap_lock_tuple called from EvalPlanQualFetch races with the same tuple lock being acquired in heap_update -- one of these sessions sleeps on the other one to finish while holding the tuple lock, and the other one sleeps on the tuple lock. Per trouble report from Andrew Sackville-West in http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/20140731233051.GN17765@andrew-ThinkPad-X230 His scenario can be simplified down to a relatively simple isolationtester spec file which I don't include in this commit; the reason is that the current isolationtester is not able to deal with more than one blocked session concurrently and it blocks instead of raising the expected deadlock. In the future, if we improve isolationtester, it would be good to include the spec file in the isolation schedule. I posted it in http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/20141212205254.GC1768@alvh.no-ip.org Hat tip to Mark Kirkwood, who helped diagnose the trouble.

| | | | | | | This reverts commit 60838df922345b26a616e49ac9fab808a35d1f85. That change needs a bit more thought to be workable. In view of the potentially machine-dependent stuff that went in today, we need all of the buildfarm to be testing those other changes.
* Lockless StrategyGetBuffer clock sweep hot path.Andres Freund2014-12-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | StrategyGetBuffer() has proven to be a bottleneck in a number of buffer acquisition heavy workloads. To some degree this has already been alleviated by 5d7962c6, but it still can be quite a heavy bottleneck. The problem is that in unfortunate usage patterns a single StrategyGetBuffer() call will have to look at a large number of buffers - in turn making it likely that the process will be put to sleep while still holding the spinlock. Replace most of the usage of the buffer_strategy_lock spinlock for the clock sweep by a atomic nextVictimBuffer variable. That variable, modulo NBuffers, is the current hand of the clock sweep. The buffer clock-sweep then only needs to acquire the spinlock after a wraparound. And even then only in the process that did the wrapping around. That alleviates nearly all the contention on the relevant spinlock, although significant contention on the cacheline can still exist.

* Improve LWLock scalability.Andres Freund2014-12-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The old LWLock implementation had the problem that concurrent lock acquisitions required exclusively acquiring a spinlock. Often that could lead to acquirers waiting behind the spinlock, even if the actual LWLock was free. The new implementation doesn't acquire the spinlock when acquiring the lock itself. Instead the new atomic operations are used to atomically manipulate the state. Only the waitqueue, used solely in the slow path, is still protected by the spinlock. Check lwlock.c's header for an explanation about the used algorithm. For some common workloads on larger machines this can yield significant performance improvements. Particularly in read mostly workloads. Reviewed-By: Amit Kapila and Robert Haas Author: Andres Freund Discussion: 20130926225545.GB26663@awork2.anarazel.de
* Convert the PGPROC->lwWaitLink list into a dlist instead of open coding it.Andres Freund2014-12-25
| | | | | | | | Besides being shorter and much easier to read it changes the logic in LWLockRelease() to release all shared lockers when waking up any. This can yield some significant performance improvements - and the fairness isn't really much worse than before, as we always allowed new shared lockers to jump the queue.
* Add capability to suppress CONTEXT: messages to elog machinery.Andres Freund2014-12-25
| | | | | | | Hiding context messages usually is not a good idea - except for rather verbose debugging/development utensils like LOG_DEBUG. There the amount of repeated context messages just bloat the log without adding information.
