* Tweak __attribute__-wrapping macros for better pgindent results.Tom Lane2015-03-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This improves on commit bbfd7edae5aa5ad5553d3c7e102f2e450d4380d4 by making two simple changes: * pg_attribute_noreturn now takes parentheses, ie pg_attribute_noreturn(). Likewise pg_attribute_unused(), pg_attribute_packed(). This reduces pgindent's tendency to misformat declarations involving them. * attributes are now always attached to function declarations, not definitions. Previously some places were taking creative shortcuts, which were not merely candidates for bad misformatting by pgindent but often were outright wrong anyway. (It does little good to put a noreturn annotation where callers can't see it.) In any case, if we would like to believe that these macros can be used with non-gcc compilers, we should avoid gratuitous variance in usage patterns. I also went through and manually improved the formatting of a lot of declarations, and got rid of excessively repetitive (and now obsolete anyway) comments informing the reader what pg_attribute_printf is for.
* Add macros wrapping all usage of gcc's __attribute__.Andres Freund2015-03-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Until now __attribute__() was defined to be empty for all compilers but gcc. That's problematic because it prevents using it in other compilers; which is necessary e.g. for atomics portability. It's also just generally dubious to do so in a header as widely included as c.h. Instead add pg_attribute_format_arg, pg_attribute_printf, pg_attribute_noreturn macros which are implemented in the compilers that understand them. Also add pg_attribute_noreturn and pg_attribute_packed, but don't provide fallbacks, since they can affect functionality. This means that external code that, possibly unwittingly, relied on __attribute__ defined to be empty on !gcc compilers may now run into warnings or errors on those compilers. But there shouldn't be many occurances of that and it's hard to work around... Discussion: 54B58BA3.8040302@ohmu.fi Author: Oskari Saarenmaa, with some minor changes by me.
* Add GUC to enable compression of full page images stored in WAL.Fujii Masao2015-03-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When newly-added GUC parameter, wal_compression, is on, the PostgreSQL server compresses a full page image written to WAL when full_page_writes is on or during a base backup. A compressed page image will be decompressed during WAL replay. Turning this parameter on can reduce the WAL volume without increasing the risk of unrecoverable data corruption, but at the cost of some extra CPU spent on the compression during WAL logging and on the decompression during WAL replay. This commit changes the WAL format (so bumping WAL version number) so that the one-byte flag indicating whether a full page image is compressed or not is included in its header information. This means that the commit increases the WAL volume one-byte per a full page image even if WAL compression is not used at all. We can save that one-byte by borrowing one-bit from the existing field like hole_offset in the header and using it as the flag, for example. But which would reduce the code readability and the extensibility of the feature. Per discussion, it's not worth paying those prices to save only one-byte, so we decided to add the one-byte flag to the header. This commit doesn't introduce any new compression algorithm like lz4. Currently a full page image is compressed using the existing PGLZ algorithm. Per discussion, we decided to use it at least in the first version of the feature because there were no performance reports showing that its compression ratio is unacceptably lower than that of other algorithm. Of course, in the future, it's worth considering the support of other compression algorithm for the better compression.

* 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 pg_xlogdump's calculation of full-page image data.Heikki Linnakangas2014-12-05
| | | | The old formula was completely bogus with the new WAL record format.
* Revamp the WAL record format.Heikki Linnakangas2014-11-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Each WAL record now carries information about the modified relation and block(s) in a standardized format. That makes it easier to write tools that need that information, like pg_rewind, prefetching the blocks to speed up recovery, etc. There's a whole new API for building WAL records, replacing the XLogRecData chains used previously. The new API consists of XLogRegister* functions, which are called for each buffer and chunk of data that is added to the record. The new API also gives more control over when a full-page image is written, by passing flags to the XLogRegisterBuffer function. This also simplifies the XLogReadBufferForRedo() calls. The function can dig the relation and block number from the WAL record, so they no longer need to be passed as arguments. For the convenience of redo routines, XLogReader now disects each WAL record after reading it, copying the main data part and the per-block data into MAXALIGNed buffers. The data chunks are not aligned within the WAL record, but the redo routines can assume that the pointers returned by XLogRecGet* functions are. Redo routines are now passed the XLogReaderState, which contains the record in the already-disected format, instead of the plain XLogRecord. The new record format also makes the fixed size XLogRecord header smaller, by removing the xl_len field. The length of the "main data" portion is now stored at the end of the WAL record, and there's a separate header after XLogRecord for it. The alignment padding at the end of XLogRecord is also removed. This compansates for the fact that the new format would otherwise be more bulky than the old format.

* Move the backup-block logic from XLogInsert to a new file, xloginsert.c.Heikki Linnakangas2014-11-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | xlog.c is huge, this makes it a little bit smaller, which is nice. Functions related to putting together the WAL record are in xloginsert.c, and the lower level stuff for managing WAL buffers and such are in xlog.c. Also move the definition of XLogRecord to a separate header file. This causes churn in the #includes of all the files that write WAL records, and redo routines, but it avoids pulling in xlog.h into most places.

* Improve code around the recently added rm_identify rmgr callback.Andres Freund2014-09-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are four weaknesses in728f152e07f998d2cb4fe5f24ec8da2c3bda98f2: * append_init() in heapdesc.c was ugly and required that rm_identify return values are only valid till the next call. Instead just add a couple more switch() cases for the INIT_PAGE cases. Now the returned value will always be valid. * a couple rm_identify() callbacks missed masking xl_info with ~XLR_INFO_MASK. * pg_xlogdump didn't map a NULL rm_identify to UNKNOWN or a similar string. * append_init() was called when id=NULL - which should never actually happen. But it's better to be careful.
* Add the capability to display summary statistics to pg_xlogdump.Andres Freund2014-09-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new --stats/--stats=record options to pg_xlogdump display per rmgr/per record statistics about the parsed WAL. This is useful to understand what the WAL primarily consists of, to allow targeted optimizations on application, configuration, and core code level. It is likely that we will want to fine tune the statistics further, but the feature already is quite helpful.

* Add rmgr callback to name xlog record types for display purposes.Andres Freund2014-09-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is primarily useful for the upcoming pg_xlogdump --stats feature, but also allows to remove some duplicated code in the rmgr_desc routines. Due to the separation and harmonization, the output of dipsplayed records changes somewhat. But since this isn't enduser oriented content that's ok. It's potentially desirable to further change pg_xlogdump's display of records. It previously wasn't possible to show the record type separately from the description forcing it to be in the last column. But that's better done in a separate commit.

* Rationalize common/relpath.[hc].Tom Lane2014-04-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit a73018392636ce832b09b5c31f6ad1f18a4643ea created rather a mess by putting dependencies on backend-only include files into include/common. We really shouldn't do that. To clean it up: * Move TABLESPACE_VERSION_DIRECTORY back to its longtime home in catalog/catalog.h. We won't consider this symbol part of the FE/BE API. * Push enum ForkNumber from relfilenode.h into relpath.h. We'll consider relpath.h as the source of truth for fork numbers, since relpath.c was already partially serving that function, and anyway relfilenode.h was kind of a random place for that enum. * So, relfilenode.h now includes relpath.h rather than vice-versa. This direction of dependency is fine. (That allows most, but not quite all, of the existing explicit #includes of relpath.h to go away again.) * Push forkname_to_number from catalog.c to relpath.c, just to centralize fork number stuff a bit better. * Push GetDatabasePath from catalog.c to relpath.c; it was rather odd that the previous commit didn't keep this together with relpath(). * To avoid needing relfilenode.h in common/, redefine the underlying function (now called GetRelationPath) as taking separate OID arguments, and make the APIs using RelFileNode or RelFileNodeBackend into macro wrappers. (The macros have a potential multiple-eval risk, but none of the existing call sites have an issue with that; one of them had such a risk already anyway.) * Fix failure to follow the directions when "init" fork type was added; specifically, the errhint in forkname_to_number wasn't updated, and neither was the SGML documentation for pg_relation_size(). * Fix tablespace-path-too-long check in CreateTableSpace() to account for fork-name component of maximum-length pathnames. This requires putting FORKNAMECHARS into a header file, but it was rather useless (and actually unreferenced) where it was. The last couple of items are potentially back-patchable bug fixes, if anyone is sufficiently excited about them; but personally I'm not. Per a gripe from Christoph Berg about how include/common wasn't self-contained.
