Users of asynchronous-commit mode expect there to be a guaranteed maximum
delay before an async commit's WAL records get flushed to disk. The
original version of the walwriter hibernation patch broke that. Add an
extra shared-memory flag to allow async commits to kick the walwriter out
of hibernation mode, without adding any noticeable overhead in cases where
no action is needed.

Latch-ify the stats collector, so that it does not need an arbitrary wakeup
cycle to check for postmaster death. The incremental savings in idle power
is pretty marginal, since we only had it waking every two seconds; but I
believe that this patch may also improve the collector's performance under
load, by reducing the number of kernel calls made per message when messages
are arriving constantly (we now avoid a select/poll call except when we
need to sleep). The change also reduces the time needed for a normal
database shutdown on platforms where signals don't interrupt select().

This patch modifies the walwriter process so that, when it has not found
anything useful to do for many consecutive wakeup cycles, it extends its
sleep time to reduce the server's idle power consumption. It reverts to
normal as soon as it's done any successful flushes. It's still true that
during any async commit, backends check for completed, unflushed pages of
WAL and signal the walwriter if there are any; so that in practice the
walwriter can get awakened and returned to normal operation sooner than the
sleep time might suggest.
Also, improve the checkpointer so that it uses a latch and a computed delay
time to not wake up at all except when it has something to do, replacing a
previous hardcoded 0.5 sec wakeup cycle. This also is primarily useful for
reducing the server's power consumption when idle.
In passing, get rid of the dedicated latch for signaling the walwriter in
favor of using its procLatch, since that comports better with possible
generic signal handlers using that latch. Also, fix a pre-existing bug
with failure to save/restore errno in walwriter's signal handlers.

This adds the variable COMP_KEYWORD_CASE, which controls in what case
keywords are completed. This is partially to let users configure the
change from commit 69f4f1c3576abc535871c6cfa95539e32a36120f, but it
also offers more behaviors than were available before.

Because they use their own compilation rule, they don't use the
dependency tracking logic from Makefile.global. To make sure that
dependency tracking works anyway for the *_srv.o files, depend on
their *.o siblings as well, which do have proper dependencies. It's a
hack that might fail someday if there is a *_srv.o without a
corresponding *.o, but it works for now (and those would probably go
into src/backend/port/ anyway).

These should not be needed anymore, at least after the recent port
removals. So let's see whether we can do without them.

According to the Autoconf documentation, there should be a make rule
pg_config.h: stamp-h
so that with the right setup around this, a change in pg_config.h.in
will trigger a rebuild of everything that depends on pg_config.h. But
this doesn't always work, sometimes you need to run make twice to get
everything up to date after a change of pg_config.h.in.
The fix is to write the rule as
pg_config.h: stamp-h ;
instead (with an empty command instead of no command). This is what
Automake-generated makefiles effectively do, so it seems safe to be on
this side.
It's not actually clear why this is (apparently) more correct. It's
been posted to
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-make/2012-04/msg00058.html>
without response so far.

"Unexpected EOF on client connection" without an open transaction
is mostly noise, so turn it into DEBUG1. With an open transaction it's
still indicating a problem, so keep those as ERROR, and change the message
to indicate that it happened in a transaction.

Commit 62c7bd31c8878dd45c9b9b2429ab7a12103f3590 had assorted problems, most
visibly that it broke PREPARE TRANSACTION in the presence of session-level
advisory locks (which should be ignored by PREPARE), as per a recent
complaint from Stephen Rees. More abstractly, the patch made the
LockMethodData.transactional flag not merely useless but outright
dangerous, because in point of fact that flag no longer tells you anything
at all about whether a lock is held transactionally. This fix therefore
removes that flag altogether. We now rely entirely on the convention
already in use in lock.c that transactional lock holds must be owned by
some ResourceOwner, while session holds are never so owned. Setting the
locallock struct's owner link to NULL thus denotes a session hold, and
there is no redundant marker for that.
PREPARE TRANSACTION now works again when there are session-level advisory
locks, and it is also able to transfer transactional advisory locks to the
prepared transaction, but for implementation reasons it throws an error if
we hold both types of lock on a single lockable object. Perhaps it will be
worth improving that someday.
Assorted other minor cleanup and documentation editing, as well.
Back-patch to 9.1, except that in the 9.1 branch I did not remove the
LockMethodData.transactional flag for fear of causing an ABI break for
any external code that might be examining those structs.

The default for the choice attribute of the <arg> element is "opt",
which would normally put the argument inside brackets. But the DSSSL
stylesheets contain a hack that treats <arg> directly inside <group>
specially, so that <group><arg>-x</arg><arg>-y</arg></group> comes out
as [ -x | -y ] rather than [ [-x] | [-y] ], which it would technically
be. But when building man pages, this doesn't work, and so the
command synopses on the man pages contain lots of extra brackets.
By putting choice="opt" or choice="plain" explicitly on every <arg>
and <group> element, we avoid any toolchain dependencies like that,
and it also makes it clearer in the source code what is meant.
In passing, make some small corrections in the documentation about
which arguments are really optional or not.

Add test cases for inline handler of plython2u (when using that
language name), and for result object element assignment. There is
now at least one test case for every top-level functionality, except
plpy.Fatal (annoying to use in regression tests) and result object
slice retrieval and slice assignment (which are somewhat broken).

Allocate PLyResultObject.tupdesc in TopMemoryContext, because its
lifetime is the lifetime of the Python object and it shouldn't be
freed by some other memory context, such as one controlled by SPI. We
trust that the Python object will clean up its own memory.
Before, this would crash the included regression test case by trying
to use memory that was already freed.

At the time we check whether the tuple is dead to all running
transactions, we've already verified that it isn't visible to our
scan, setting hint bits if appropriate. So there's no need to
recheck CLOG for the all-dead test we do just a moment later.
So, add HeapTupleIsSurelyDead() to test the appropriate condition
under the assumption that all relevant hit bits are already set.

Remove the following ports:
- dgux
- nextstep
- sunos4
- svr4
- ultrix4
- univel
These are obsolete and not worth rescuing. In most cases, there is
circumstantial evidence that they wouldn't work anymore anyway.

Add more markup in particular so that the command options appear
consistently in monospace in the HTML output.
On the vacuumdb reference page, remove listing all the possible
options in the synopsis. They have become too many now; we have the
detailed options list for that.
|
| |
|
|
|
|

We had changed this from the default bold to monospace for all output
formats, but for man pages, this creates visual inconsistencies, so
revert to the default for man pages.

This patch adjusts the core statistics views to match the decision already
taken for pg_stat_statements, that values representing elapsed time should
be represented as float8 and measured in milliseconds. By using float8,
we are no longer tied to a specific maximum precision of timing data.
(Internally, it's still microseconds, but we could now change that without
needing changes at the SQL level.)
The columns affected are
pg_stat_bgwriter.checkpoint_write_time
pg_stat_bgwriter.checkpoint_sync_time
pg_stat_database.blk_read_time
pg_stat_database.blk_write_time
pg_stat_user_functions.total_time
pg_stat_user_functions.self_time
pg_stat_xact_user_functions.total_time
pg_stat_xact_user_functions.self_time
The first four of these are new in 9.2, so there is no compatibility issue
from changing them. The others require a release note comment that they
are now double precision (and can show a fractional part) rather than
bigint as before; also their underlying statistics functions now match
the column definitions, instead of returning bigint microseconds.

This seems more consistent with the pre-existing choices for names of
other statistics columns. Rename assorted internal identifiers to match.

Get rid of the per-column documentation of underlying functions, which did
far more to clutter the view descriptions than it did to be helpful, and
was rather incomplete and typo-ridden anyway. Instead suggest that people
consult the definitions of the standard views to see the underlying
functions.
The older functions for obtaining individual facts about backends are now
somewhat obsoleted by pg_stat_get_activity, which means that they are not
documented by any standard view. So I put that information into a separate
table. (Maybe we should just deprecate them instead?)
In passing, fix a couple more documentation errors.

In ancient times, it was thought that this wouldn't work because of
TrapMacro/AssertMacro, but changing those to use a comma operator
appears to work without compiler warnings.

Instead of writing out the .c -> .o rule, use the default one, so that
dependency tracking can be used.

Display total time and I/O timings in milliseconds, for consistency with
the units used for timings in the core statistics views. The columns
remain of float8 type, so that sub-msec precision is available. (At some
point we will probably want to convert the core views to use float8 type
for the same reason, but this patch does not touch that issue.)
This is a release-note-requiring change in the meaning of the total_time
column. The I/O timing columns are new as of 9.2, so there is no
compatibility impact from redefining them.
Do some minor copy-editing in the documentation, too.

This oversight caused the reported times to accumulate in an O(N^2)
fashion the longer a backend runs.

Normally whole-row Vars are printed as "tabname.*". However, that does not
work at top level of a targetlist, because per SQL standard the parser will
think that the "*" should result in column-by-column expansion; which is
not at all what a whole-row Var implies. We used to just print the table
name in such cases, which works most of the time; but it fails if the table
name matches a column name available anywhere in the FROM clause. This
could lead for instance to a view being interpreted differently after dump
and reload. Adding parentheses doesn't fix it, but there is a reasonably
simple kluge we can use instead: attach a no-op cast, so that the "*" isn't
syntactically at top level anymore. This makes the printing of such
whole-row Vars a lot more consistent with other Vars, and may indeed fix
more cases than just the reported one; I'm suspicious that cases involving
schema qualification probably didn't work properly before, either.
Per bug report and fix proposal from Abbas Butt, though this patch is quite
different in detail from his.
Back-patch to all supported versions.
