* Track the timeline associated with minRecoveryPoint, for more sanity checks.Heikki Linnakangas2012-12-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This allows recovery to notice certain incorrect recovery scenarios. If a server has recovered to point X on timeline 5, and you restart recovery, it better be on timeline 5 when it reaches point X again, not on some timeline with a higher ID. This can happen e.g if you a standby server is shut down, a new timeline appears in the WAL archive, and the standby server is restarted. It will try to follow the new timeline, which is wrong because some WAL on the old timeline was already replayed before shutdown. Requires an initdb (or at least pg_resetxlog), because this adds a field to the control file.

* Avoid holding vmbuffer pin after VACUUM.Simon Riggs2012-12-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | During VACUUM if we pause to perform a cycle of index cleanup we drop the vmbuffer pin, so we should do the same thing when heap scan completes. This avoids holding vmbuffer pin across the main index cleanup in VACUUM, which could be minutes or hours longer than necessary for correctness. Bug report and suggested fix from Pavan Deolasee

* Refactor inCommit flag into generic delayChkpt flag.Simon Riggs2012-12-03
| | | | | | | | | | Rename PGXACT->inCommit flag into delayChkpt flag, and generalise comments to allow use in other situations, such as the forthcoming potential use in checksum patch. Replace wait loop to look for VXIDs with delayChkpt set. No user visible changes, not behaviour changes at present. Simon Riggs, reviewed and rebased by Jeff Davis

* Refactor the code implementing standby-mode logic.Heikki Linnakangas2012-12-03

* Add mode where contrib installcheck runs each module in a separately named ↵Andrew Dunstan2012-12-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | database. Normally each module is tested in aq database named contrib_regression, which is dropped and recreated at the beginhning of each pg_regress run. This mode, enabled by adding USE_MODULE_DB=1 to the make command line, runs most modules in a database with the module name embedded in it. This will make testing pg_upgrade on clusters with the contrib modules a lot easier. Still to be done: adapt to the MSVC build system. Backpatch to 9.0, which is the earliest version it is reasonably possible to test upgrading from.

* Recommend triggers, not rules, in the CREATE VIEW reference page.Tom Lane2012-12-02
| | | | | | We've generally recommended use of INSTEAD triggers over rules since that feature was added; but this old text in the CREATE VIEW reference page didn't get the memo. Noted by Thomas Kellerer.
* Reduce scope of changes for COPY FREEZE.Simon Riggs2012-12-02
| | | | | | | | Allow support only for freezing tuples by explicit command. Previous coding mistakenly extended slightly beyond what was agreed as correct on -hackers. So essentially a partial revoke of earlier work, leaving just the COPY FREEZE command.
* Don't advance checkPoint.nextXid near the end of a checkpoint sequence.Tom Lane2012-12-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit c11130690d6dca64267201a169cfb38c1adec5ef in favor of actually fixing the problem: namely, that we should never have been modifying the checkpoint record's nextXid at this point to begin with. The nextXid should match the state as of the checkpoint's logical WAL position (ie the redo point), not the state as of its physical position. It's especially bogus to advance it in some wal_levels and not others. In any case there is no need for the checkpoint record to carry the same nextXid shown in the XLOG_RUNNING_XACTS record just emitted by LogStandbySnapshot, as any replay operation will already have adopted that value as current. This fixes bug #7710 from Tarvi Pillessaar, and probably also explains bug #6291 from Daniel Farina, in that if a checkpoint were in progress at the instant of XID wraparound, the epoch bump would be lost as reported. (And, of course, these days there's at least a 50-50 chance of a checkpoint being in progress at any given instant.) Diagnosed by me and independently by Andres Freund. Back-patch to all branches supporting hot standby.
* Rearrange storage of data in xl_running_xacts.Simon Riggs2012-12-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously we stored all xids mixed together. Now we store top-level xids first, followed by all subxids. Also skip logging any subxids if the snapshot is suboverflowed, since there are potentially large numbers of them and they are not useful in that case anyway. Has value in the envisaged design for decoding of WAL. No planned effect on Hot Standby. Andres Freund, reviewed by me
* XidEpoch++ if wraparound during checkpoint.Simon Riggs2012-12-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If wal_level = hot_standby we update the checkpoint nextxid, though in the case where a wraparound occurred half-way through a checkpoint we would neglect updating the epoch also. Updating the nextxid is arguably the wrong thing to do, but changing that may introduce subtle bugs into hot standby startup, while updating the value doesn't cause any known bugs yet. Minimal fix now to HEAD and backbranches, wider fix later in HEAD. Bug reported in #6291 by Daniel Farina and slightly differently in Cause analysis and recommended fixes from Tom Lane and Andres Freund. Applied patch is minimal version of Andres Freund's work.

* Prevent passing gmake's environment variables down through pg_regress.Tom Lane2012-12-01
| | | | | | | | | | | When we do "make install" to create a temp installation, we don't want that instance of make to try to communicate with any instance of make that might be calling us. This is known to cause problems if the upper make has a -jN flag, and in principle could cause problems even without that. Unset the relevant environment variables to prevent such issues. Andres Freund
* Make sure sharedir/extension/ directory is created when needed.Tom Lane2012-12-01
| | | | | | | | | The previous coding worked as long as MODULEDIR wasn't set explicitly, because we create sharedir/$(datamoduledir) and the default value of that is "extension". But if some other value is specified for MODULEDIR then the installation directory needed for the control file wasn't made. Cédric Villemain
* Allow adding values to an enum type created in the current transaction.Tom Lane2012-12-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Normally it is unsafe to allow ALTER TYPE ADD VALUE in a transaction block, because instances of the value could be added to indexes later in the same transaction, and then they would still be accessible even if the transaction rolls back. However, we can allow this if the enum type itself was created in the current transaction, because then any such indexes would have to go away entirely on rollback. The reason for allowing this is to support pg_upgrade's new usage of pg_restore --single-transaction: in --binary-upgrade mode, pg_dump emits enum types as a succession of ALTER TYPE ADD VALUE commands so that it can preserve the values' OIDs. The support is a bit limited, so we'll leave it undocumented. Andres Freund

* COPY FREEZE and mark committed on fresh tables.Simon Riggs2012-12-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a relfilenode is created in this subtransaction or a committed child transaction and it cannot otherwise be seen by our own process, mark tuples committed ahead of transaction commit for all COPY commands in same transaction. If FREEZE specified on COPY and pre-conditions met then rows will also be frozen. Both options designed to avoid revisiting rows after commit, increasing performance of subsequent commands after data load and upgrade. pg_restore changes later.

* Add missing buffer lock acquisition in GetTupleForTrigger().Tom Lane2012-11-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | If we had not been holding buffer pin continuously since the tuple was initially fetched by the UPDATE or DELETE query, it would be possible for VACUUM or a page-prune operation to move the tuple while we're trying to copy it. This would result in a garbage "old" tuple value being passed to an AFTER ROW UPDATE or AFTER ROW DELETE trigger. The preconditions for this are somewhat improbable, and the timing constraints are very tight; so it's not so surprising that this hasn't been reported from the field, even though the bug has been there a long time. Problem found by Andres Freund. Back-patch to all active branches.
* Clean environment for pg_upgrade test.Andrew Dunstan2012-11-30

* Add libpq function PQconninfo()Magnus Hagander2012-11-30
| | | | | | | | | | | This allows a caller to get back the exact conninfo array that was used to create a connection, including parameters read from the environment. In doing this, restructure how options are copied from the conninfo to the actual connection. Zoltan Boszormenyi and Magnus Hagander
* Produce a more useful error message for over-length Unix socket paths.Tom Lane2012-11-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The length of a socket path name is constrained by the size of struct sockaddr_un, and there's not a lot we can do about it since that is a kernel API. However, it would be a good thing if we produced an intelligible error message when the user specifies a socket path that's too long --- and getaddrinfo's standard API is too impoverished to do this in the natural way. So insert explicit tests at the places where we construct a socket path name. Now you'll get an error that makes sense and even tells you what the limit is, rather than something generic like "Non-recoverable failure in name resolution". Per trouble report from Jeremy Drake and a fix idea from Andrew Dunstan.
