* psql: Add information in \d+ about foreign partitions and child tablesMichael Paquier2022-11-08
| | | | | | | | | | \d+ is already able to show if a partition or a child table is "PARTITIONED" via its relkind, hence the addition of a keyword for "FOREIGN" in the relation description is basically free.

* Use pg_pwrite_zeros() in walmethods.cMichael Paquier2022-11-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This change impacts pg_receivewal and pg_basebackup, for the pre-padding with zeros of all the new non-compressed WAL segments, so as the code is more robust on partial writes. This makes the code consistent with the backend (XLogFileInitInternal) when wal_init_zeros is enabled for the WAL segment initialization.

* Introduce pg_pwrite_zeros() in fileutils.cMichael Paquier2022-11-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This routine is designed to write zeros to a file using vectored I/O, for a size given by its caller, being useful when it comes to initializing a file with a final size already known. XLogFileInitInternal() in xlog.c is changed to use this new routine when initializing WAL segments with zeros (wal_init_zero enabled). Note that the aligned buffers used for the vectored I/O writes have a size of XLOG_BLCKSZ, and not BLCKSZ anymore, as pg_pwrite_zeros() relies on PGAlignedBlock while xlog.c originally used PGAlignedXLogBlock. This routine will be used in a follow-up patch to do the pre-padding of WAL segments for pg_receivewal and pg_basebackup when these are not compressed.

* Fix failure to remove non-first segments of temporary tables.Tom Lane2022-11-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 4ab5dae94 broke mdunlinkfork's logic for removing additional segments of a multi-gigabyte table, because it neglected to advance "segno" after unlinking the first segment, in the code path where it chooses to unlink that one immediately. Then the main remove loop gets ENOENT at segment zero and figures it's done, so we never remove whatever additional segments might exist. The main problem here is with large temporary tables, but WAL replay of a drop of a large regular table would also fail to remove extra segments. The third case where this path is taken is for non-main forks; but I doubt it matters for those since they probably never exceed 1GB. The simplest fix is just to increment segno after that unlink(). (Probably this logic could do with a more thorough rethink, but not with mere hours to go before 15.1 wraps.) While here, also fix an incautious assumption that register_forget_request cannot change errno. I don't think that that has any really bad consequences, as we'd end up trying to unlink the zero'th segment either way, but it greatly complicates reasoning about what could happen here. Also make a couple of other cosmetic fixes. Per bug #17679 from Balazs Szilfai. Back-patch into v15, as the faulty patch was. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/17679-1095d04450cf6a6e@postgresql.org
* Move code related to configuration files in directories to new fileMichael Paquier2022-11-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The code in charge of listing and classifying a set of configuration files in a directory was located in guc-file.l, being used currently for GUCs under "include_dir". This code is planned to be used for an upcoming feature able to include configuration files for ident and HBA files from a directory, similarly to GUCs. In both cases, the file names, suffixed by ".conf", have to be ordered alphabetically. This logic is moved to a new file, called conffiles.c, so as it is easier to share this facility between GUCs and the HBA/ident parsing logic.

* Create FKs properly when attaching table as partitionAlvaro Herrera2022-11-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit f56f8f8da6af added some code in CloneFkReferencing that's way too lax about a Constraint node it manufactures, not initializing enough struct members -- initially_valid in particular was forgotten. This causes some FKs in partitions added by ALTER TABLE ATTACH PARTITION to be marked as not validated. Set initially_valid true, which fixes the bug. While at it, make the struct initialization more complete. Very similar code was added in two other places by the same commit; make them all follow the same pattern for consistency, though no bugs are apparent there.

* Avoid crash after function syntax error in a replication worker.Tom Lane2022-11-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a syntax error occurred in a SQL-language or PL/pgSQL-language CREATE FUNCTION or DO command executed in a logical replication worker, we'd suffer a null pointer dereference or assertion failure. That seems like a rather contrived case, but nonetheless worth fixing. The cause is that function_parse_error_transpose assumes it must be executing within the context of a Portal, but logical/worker.c doesn't create a Portal since it's not running the standard executor. We can just back off the hard Assert check and make it fail gracefully if there's not an ActivePortal. (I have a feeling that the aggressive check here was my fault originally, probably because I wasn't sure if the case would always hold and wanted to find out. Well, now we know.) The hazard seems to exist in all branches that have logical replication, so back-patch to v10.

* Allow use of __sync_lock_test_and_set for spinlocks on any machine.Tom Lane2022-11-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If we have no special-case code in s_lock.h for the current platform, but the compiler has __sync_lock_test_and_set, use that instead of failing. It's unlikely that anybody's __sync_lock_test_and_set would be so awful as to be worse than our semaphore-based fallback, but if it is, they can (continue to) use --disable-spinlocks. This allows removal of the RISC-V special case installed by commit c32fcac56, which generated exactly the same code but only on that platform. Usefully, the RISC-V buildfarm animals should now test at least the int variant of this patch. I've manually tested both variants on ARM by dint of removing the ARM-specific stanza. We don't want to drop that, because it already has some special knowledge and is likely to grow more over time. Likewise, this is not meant to preclude installing special cases for other arches if that proves worthwhile. Per discussion of a request to install the same code for loongarch64. Like the previous patch, we might as well back-patch to supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/761ac43d44b84d679ba803c2bd947cc0@HSMAILSVR04.hs.handsome.com.cn

* Defend against unsupported partition relkind in logical replication worker.Tom Lane2022-11-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since partitions can be foreign tables not only plain tables, but logical replication only supports plain tables, we'd better check the relkind of a partition after we find it. (There was some discussion of checking this when adding a partitioned table to a subscription; but that would be inadequate since the troublesome partition could be added later.) Without this, the situation leads to a segfault or assertion failure. In passing, add a separate variable for the target Relation of a cross-partition UPDATE; reusing partrel seemed mighty confusing and error-prone. Shi Yu and Tom Lane, per report from Ilya Gladyshev.

* Add doubly linked count list implementationDavid Rowley2022-11-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have various requirements when using a dlist_head to keep track of the number of items in the list. This, traditionally, has been done by maintaining a counter variable in the calling code. Here we tidy this up by adding "dclist", which is very similar to dlist but also keeps track of the number of items stored in the list. Callers may use the new dclist_count() function when they need to know how many items are stored. Obtaining the count is an O(1) operation. For simplicity reasons, dclist and dlist both use dlist_node as their node type and dlist_iter/dlist_mutable_iter as their iterator type. dclists have all of the same functionality as dlists except there is no function named dclist_delete(). To remove an item from a list dclist_delete_from() must be used. This requires knowing which dclist the given item is stored in. Additionally, here we also convert some dlists where additional code exists to keep track of the number of items stored and to make these use dclists instead.

Historical corrections for Chile, Crimea, Iran, and Mexico. Also, the Europe/Kiev zone has been renamed to Europe/Kyiv (retaining the old name as a link). The following zones have been merged into nearby, more-populous zones whose clocks have agreed since 1970: Antarctica/Vostok, Asia/Brunei, Asia/Kuala_Lumpur, Atlantic/Reykjavik, Europe/Amsterdam, Europe/Copenhagen, Europe/Luxembourg, Europe/Monaco, Europe/Oslo, Europe/Stockholm, Indian/Christmas, Indian/Cocos, Indian/Kerguelen, Indian/Mahe, Indian/Reunion, Pacific/Chuuk, Pacific/Funafuti, Pacific/Majuro, Pacific/Pohnpei, Pacific/Wake and Pacific/Wallis. (This indirectly affects zones that were already links to one of these: Arctic/Longyearbyen, Atlantic/Jan_Mayen, Iceland, Pacific/Ponape, Pacific/Truk, and Pacific/Yap.) America/Nipigon, America/Rainy_River, America/Thunder_Bay, Europe/Uzhgorod, and Europe/Zaporozhye were also merged into nearby zones after discovering that their claimed post-1970 differences from those zones seem to have been errors. While the IANA crew have been working on merging zones that have no post-1970 differences for some time, this batch of changes affects some zones that are significantly more populous than those merged in the past, notably parts of Europe. The loss of pre-1970 timezone history for those zones may be troublesome for applications expecting consistency of timestamptz display. As an example, the stored value '1944-06-01 12:00 UTC' would previously display as '1944-06-01 13:00:00+01' if the Europe/Stockholm zone is selected, but now it will read out as '1944-06-01 14:00:00+02'. There exists a "packrat" option that will build the timezone data files with this old data preserved, but the problem is that it also resurrects a bunch of other, far less well-attested data; so much so that actually more zones' contents change from 2022a with that option than without it. I have chosen not to do that here, for that reason and because it appears that no major OS distributions are using the "packrat" option, so that doing so would cause Postgres' behavior to diverge significantly depending on whether it was built with --with-system-tzdata. However, for anyone for whom these changes pose significant problems, there is a solution: build a set of timezone files with the "packrat" option and use those with Postgres.

In certain cases (possibly only ROLLBACK in extended query protocol), that data structure will get freed during command execution. The situation is probably often harmless in production builds, but in debug builds we intentionally overwrite the freed memory with garbage, leading to picking up garbage values of statement location and length, typically causing an assertion failure later in pg_stat_statements. In non-debug builds, if something did go wrong it would likely lead to storing garbage for the query string. Report and fix by zhaoqigui (with cosmetic adjustments by me).

* pg_dump test: Make concatenated create_sql commands more readablePeter Eisentraut2022-10-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the pg_dump 002_pg_dump.pl test generates the command to load the schema, it does # Add terminating semicolon $create_sql{$test_db} .= $tests{$test}->{create_sql} . ";"; In some cases, this creates a duplicate semicolon, but more importantly, this doesn't add any newline. So if you look at the result in either the server log or in tmp_check/log/regress_log_002_pg_dump, it looks like a complete mess. This patch makes the output look cleaner for manual inspection: add semicolon only if necessary, and add two newlines.

* Add check on initial and boot values when loading GUCsMichael Paquier2022-10-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit adds a function to perform a cross-check between the initial value of the C declaration associated to a GUC and its actual boot value in assert-enabled builds. The purpose of this is to prevent anybody reading these C declarations from being fooled by mismatched values before they are loaded at program startup. The following rules apply depending on the GUC type: * bool - can be false, or same as boot_val. * int - can be 0, or same as the boot_val. * real - can be 0.0, or same as the boot_val. * string - can be NULL, or strcmp'd equal to the boot_val. * enum - equal to the boot_val. This is done for the system as well custom GUCs loaded by external modules, which may require extension developers to adapt the C declaration of the variables used by these GUCs (testing this change with some of my own modules has allowed me to catch some stupid typos, FWIW). This may finish by being a bad experiment depending on the feedbcak received, but let's see how it goes.

* Clean up some inconsistencies with GUC declarationsMichael Paquier2022-10-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is similar to 7d25958, and this commit takes care of all the remaining inconsistencies between the initial value used in the C variable associated to a GUC and its default value stored in the GUC tables (as of pg_settings.boot_val). Some of the initial values of the GUCs updated rely on a compile-time default. These are refactored so as the GUC table and its C declaration use the same values. This makes everything consistent with other places, backend_flush_after, bgwriter_flush_after, port, checkpoint_flush_after doing so already, for example. Extracted from a larger patch by Peter Smith. The spots updated in the modules are from me.

* Use Limit instead of Unique to implement DISTINCT, when possibleDavid Rowley2022-10-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When all of the query's DISTINCT pathkeys have been marked as redundant due to EquivalenceClasses existing which contain constants, we can just implement the DISTINCT operation on a query by just limiting the number of returned rows to 1 instead of performing a Unique on all of the matching (duplicate) rows. This applies in cases such as: SELECT DISTINCT col,col2 FROM tab WHERE col = 1 AND col2 = 10; If there are any matching rows, then they must all be {1,10}. There's no point in fetching all of those and running a Unique operator on them to leave only a single row. Here we effectively just find the first row and then stop. We are obviously unable to apply this optimization if either the col = 1 or col2 = 10 were missing from the WHERE clause or if there were any additional columns in the SELECT clause. Such queries are probably not all that common, but detecting when we can apply this optimization amounts to checking if the distinct_pathkeys are NULL, which is very cheap indeed. Nothing is done here to check if the query already has a LIMIT clause. If it does then the plan may end up with 2 Limits nodes. There's no harm in that and it's probably not worth the complexity to unify them into a single Limit node.

* Allow nodeSort to perform Datum sorts for byref typesDavid Rowley2022-10-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Here we add a new 'copy' parameter to tuplesort_getdatum so that we can instruct the function not to datumCopy() byref Datums before returning. Similar to 91e9e89dc, this can provide significant performance improvements in nodeSort when sorting by a single byref column and the sort's targetlist contains only that column. This allows us to re-enable Datum sorts for byref types which was disabled in 3a5817695 due to a reported memory leak. Additionally, here we slightly optimize DISTINCT aggregates so that we no longer perform any datumCopy() when we find the current value not to be distinct from the previous value. Previously the code would always take a copy of the most recent Datum and pfree the previous value, even when the values were the same. Testing shows a small but noticeable performance increase when aggregate transitions are skipped due to the current transition value being the same as the prior one.
