Previously gin_desc() displayed incorrect output "unknown action 0"
for XLOG_GIN_INSERT and XLOG_GIN_VACUUM_DATA_LEAF_PAGE records with
valid actions. The cause of this problem was that gin_desc() wrongly
used XLogRecGetData() to extract data from those records.
Since they were registered by XLogRegisterBufData(), gin_desc() should
have used XLogRecGetBlockData(), instead, like gin_redo().
Also there were other differences about how to treat XLOG_GIN_INSERT
record between gin_desc() and gin_redo().
This commit fixes gin_desc() routine so that it treats those records
in the same way as gin_redo().
Batch-patch to 9.5 where WAL record format was revamped and
XLogRegisterBufData() was added.

Since a892234 & fd31cd265 the visibilitymap's freeze bit is used to
avoid vacuuming the whole relation in anti-wraparound vacuums. Doing so
correctly relies on not adding xids to the heap without also unsetting
the visibilitymap flag. Tuple locking related code has not done so.
To allow selectively resetting all-frozen - to avoid pessimizing
heap_lock_tuple - allow to selectively reset the all-frozen with
visibilitymap_clear(). To avoid having to use
visibilitymap_get_status (e.g. via VM_ALL_FROZEN) inside a critical
section, have visibilitymap_clear() return whether any bits have been
reset.
There's a remaining issue (denoted by XXX): After the PageIsAllVisible()
check in heap_lock_tuple() and heap_lock_updated_tuple_rec() the page
status could theoretically change. Practically that currently seems
impossible, because updaters will hold a page level pin already. Due to
the next beta coming up, it seems better to get the required WAL magic
bump done before resolving this issue.
The added flags field fields to xl_heap_lock and xl_heap_lock_updated
require bumping the WAL magic. Since there's already been a catversion
bump since the last beta, that's not an issue.

So far, when a transaction with pending invalidations, but without an
assigned xid, committed, we simply ignored those invalidation
messages. That's problematic, because those are actually sent for a
reason.
Known symptoms of this include that existing sessions on a hot-standby
replica sometimes fail to notice new concurrently built indexes and
visibility map updates.
The solution is to WAL log such invalidations in transactions without an
xid. We considered to alternatively force-assign an xid, but that'd be
problematic for vacuum, which might be run in systems with few xids.
Important: This adds a new WAL record, but as the patch has to be
back-patched, we can't bump the WAL page magic. This means that standbys
have to be updated before primaries; otherwise
"PANIC: standby_redo: unknown op code 32" errors can be encountered.

new callback to the logical decoding API.
Messages are either text or bytea. Messages can be transactional, or not, and
are identified by a prefix to allow multiple concurrent decoding plugins.

The distinction between "archive" and "hot_standby" existed only because
at the time "hot_standby" was added, there was some uncertainty about
stability. This is now a long time ago. We would like to move forward
with simplifying the replication configuration, but this distinction is
in the way, because a primary server cannot tell (without asking a
standby or predicting the future) which one of these would be the
appropriate level.
Pick a new name for the combined setting to make it clearer that it
covers all (non-logical) backup and replication uses. The old values
are still accepted but are converted internally.

Replay of XLOG_BTREE_VACUUM during Hot Standby was previously thought to require
complex interlocking that matched the requirements on the master. This required
an O(N) operation that became a significant problem with large indexes, causing
replication delays of seconds or in some cases minutes while the
XLOG_BTREE_VACUUM was replayed.
This commit skips the “pin scan” that was previously required, by observing in
detail when and how it is safe to do so, with full documentation. The pin scan
is skipped only in replay; the VACUUM code path on master is not touched here.
The current commit still performs the pin scan for toast indexes, though this
can also be avoided if we recheck scans on toast indexes. Later patch will
address this.
No tests included. Manual tests using an additional patch to view WAL records
and their timing have shown the change in WAL records and their handling has
successfully reduced replication delay.

There are three main changes here:
1. No longer cause a start failure in a standby if the feature is
disabled in postgresql.conf but enabled in the master. This reverts one
part of commit 4f3924d9cd43; what we keep is the ability of the standby
to activate/deactivate the module (which includes creating and removing
segments as appropriate) during replay of such actions in the master.
2. Replay WAL records affecting commitTS even if the feature is
disabled. This means the standby will always have the same state as the
master after replay.
3. Have COMMIT PREPARE record the transaction commit time as well. We
were previously only applying it in the normal transaction commit path.

The fact that multixact truncations are not WAL logged has caused a fair
share of problems. Amongst others it requires to do computations during
recovery while the database is not in a consistent state, delaying
truncations till checkpoints, and handling members being truncated, but
offset not.
We tried to put bandaids on lots of these issues over the last years,
but it seems time to change course. Thus this patch introduces WAL
logging for multixact truncations.
This allows:
1) to perform the truncation directly during VACUUM, instead of delaying it
to the checkpoint.
2) to avoid looking at the offsets SLRU for truncation during recovery,
we can just use the master's values.
3) simplify a fair amount of logic to keep in memory limits straight,
this has gotten much easier
During the course of fixing this a bunch of additional bugs had to be
fixed:
1) Data was not purged from memory the member's SLRU before deleting
segments. This happened to be hard or impossible to hit due to the
interlock between checkpoints and truncation.
2) find_multixact_start() relied on SimpleLruDoesPhysicalPageExist - but
that doesn't work for offsets that haven't yet been flushed to
disk. Add code to flush the SLRUs to fix. Not pretty, but it feels
slightly safer to only make decisions based on actual on-disk state.
3) find_multixact_start() could be called concurrently with a truncation
and thus fail. Via SetOffsetVacuumLimit() that could lead to a round
of emergency vacuuming. The problem remains in
pg_get_multixact_members(), but that's quite harmless.
For now this is going to only get applied to 9.5+, leaving the issues in
the older branches in place. It is quite possible that we need to
backpatch at a later point though.
For the case this gets backpatched we need to handle that an updated
standby may be replaying WAL from a not-yet upgraded primary. We have to
recognize that situation and use "old style" truncation (i.e. looking at
the SLRUs) during WAL replay. In contrast to before, this now happens in
the startup process, when replaying a checkpoint record, instead of the
checkpointer. Doing truncation in the restartpoint is incorrect, they
can happen much later than the original checkpoint, thereby leading to
wraparound. To avoid "multixact_redo: unknown op code 48" errors
standbys would have to be upgraded before primaries.
A later patch will bump the WAL page magic, and remove the legacy
truncation codepaths. Legacy truncation support is just included to make
a possible future backpatch easier.

Use "a" and "an" correctly, mostly in comments. Two error messages were
also fixed (they were just elogs, so no translation work required). Two
function comments in pg_proc.h were also fixed. Etsuro Fujita reported one
of these, but I found a lot more with grep.
Also fix a few other typos spotted while grepping for the a/an typos.
For example, "consists out of ..." -> "consists of ...". Plus a "though"/
"through" mixup reported by Euler Taveira.
Many of these typos were in old code, which would be nice to backpatch to
make future backpatching easier. But much of the code was new, and I didn't
feel like crafting separate patches for each branch. So no backpatching.

The newly added ON CONFLICT clause allows to specify an alternative to
raising a unique or exclusion constraint violation error when inserting.
ON CONFLICT refers to constraints that can either be specified using a
inference clause (by specifying the columns of a unique constraint) or
by naming a unique or exclusion constraint. DO NOTHING avoids the
constraint violation, without touching the pre-existing row. DO UPDATE
SET ... [WHERE ...] updates the pre-existing tuple, and has access to
both the tuple proposed for insertion and the existing tuple; the
optional WHERE clause can be used to prevent an update from being
executed. The UPDATE SET and WHERE clauses have access to the tuple
proposed for insertion using the "magic" EXCLUDED alias, and to the
pre-existing tuple using the table name or its alias.
This feature is often referred to as upsert.
This is implemented using a new infrastructure called "speculative
insertion". It is an optimistic variant of regular insertion that first
does a pre-check for existing tuples and then attempts an insert. If a
violating tuple was inserted concurrently, the speculatively inserted
tuple is deleted and a new attempt is made. If the pre-check finds a
matching tuple the alternative DO NOTHING or DO UPDATE action is taken.
If the insertion succeeds without detecting a conflict, the tuple is
deemed inserted.
To handle the possible ambiguity between the excluded alias and a table
named excluded, and for convenience with long relation names, INSERT
INTO now can alias its target table.

When implementing a replication solution ontop of logical decoding, two
related problems exist:
* How to safely keep track of replication progress
* How to change replication behavior, based on the origin of a row;
e.g. to avoid loops in bi-directional replication setups
The solution to these problems, as implemented here, consist out of
three parts:
1) 'replication origins', which identify nodes in a replication setup.
2) 'replication progress tracking', which remembers, for each
replication origin, how far replay has progressed in a efficient and
crash safe manner.
3) The ability to filter out changes performed on the behest of a
replication origin during logical decoding; this allows complex
replication topologies. E.g. by filtering all replayed changes out.
Most of this could also be implemented in "userspace", e.g. by inserting
additional rows contain origin information, but that ends up being much
less efficient and more complicated. We don't want to require various
replication solutions to reimplement logic for this independently. The
infrastructure is intended to be generic enough to be reusable.
This infrastructure also replaces the 'nodeid' infrastructure of commit
timestamps. It is intended to provide all the former capabilities,
except that there's only 2^16 different origins; but now they integrate
with logical decoding. Additionally more functionality is accessible via
SQL. Since the commit timestamp infrastructure has also been introduced
in 9.5 (commit 73c986add) changing the API is not a problem.
For now the number of origins for which the replication progress can be
tracked simultaneously is determined by the max_replication_slots
GUC. That GUC is not a perfect match to configure this, but there
doesn't seem to be sufficient reason to introduce a separate new one.
Bumps both catversion and wal page magic.

Since 465883b0a two versions of commit records have existed. A compact
version that was used when no cache invalidations, smgr unlinks and
similar were needed, and a full version that could deal with all
that. Additionally the full version was embedded into twophase commit
records.
That resulted in a measurable reduction in the size of the logged WAL in
some workloads. But more recently additions like logical decoding, which
e.g. needs information about the database something was executed on,
made it applicable in fewer situations. The static split generally made
it hard to expand the commit record, because concerns over the size made
it hard to add anything to the compact version.
Additionally it's not particularly pretty to have twophase.c insert
RM_XACT records.
Rejigger things so that the commit and abort records only have one form
each, including the twophase equivalents. The presence of the various
optional (in the sense of not being in every record) pieces is indicated
by a bits in the 'xinfo' flag. That flag previously was not included in
compact commit records. To prevent an increase in size due to its
presence, it's only included if necessary; signalled by a bit in the
xl_info bits available for xact.c, similar to heapam.c's
XLOG_HEAP_OPMASK/XLOG_HEAP_INIT_PAGE.
Twophase commit/aborts are now the same as their normal
counterparts. The original transaction's xid is included in an optional
data field.
This means that commit records generally are smaller, except in the case
of a transaction with subtransactions, but no other special cases; the
increase there is four bytes, which seems acceptable given that the more
common case of not having subtransactions shrank. The savings are
especially measurable for twophase commits, which previously always used
the full version; but will in practice only infrequently have required
that.
The motivation for this work are not the space savings and and
deduplication though; it's that it makes it easier to extend commit
records with additional information. That's just a few lines of code
now; without impacting the common case where that information is not
needed.

system using the new function TransactionTreeSetCommitTsData(). This
data is crash-safe, and truncated at Xid freeze point, same as pg_clog.

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.

Reported by David Rowley: variadic macros are a problem. Get rid of
them using a trick suggested by Tom Lane: add extra parentheses where
needed. In the future we might decide we don't need the calls at all
and remove them, but it seems appropriate to keep them while this code
is still new.
Also from David Rowley: brininsert() was trying to use a variable before
initializing it. Fix by moving the brin_form_tuple call (which
initializes the variable) to within the locked section.
Reported by Peter Eisentraut: can't use "new" as a struct member name,
because C++ compilers will choke on it, as reported by cpluspluscheck.

BRIN is a new index access method intended to accelerate scans of very
large tables, without the maintenance overhead of btrees or other
traditional indexes. They work by maintaining "summary" data about
block ranges. Bitmap index scans work by reading each summary tuple and
comparing them with the query quals; all pages in the range are returned
in a lossy TID bitmap if the quals are consistent with the values in the
summary tuple, otherwise not. Normal index scans are not supported
because these indexes do not store TIDs.
As new tuples are added into the index, the summary information is
updated (if the block range in which the tuple is added is already
summarized) or not; in the latter case, a subsequent pass of VACUUM or
the brin_summarize_new_values() function will create the summary
information.
For data types with natural 1-D sort orders, the summary info consists
of the maximum and the minimum values of each indexed column within each
page range. This type of operator class we call "Minmax", and we
supply a bunch of them for most data types with B-tree opclasses.
Since the BRIN code is generalized, other approaches are possible for
things such as arrays, geometric types, ranges, etc; even for things
such as enum types we could do something different than minmax with
better results. In this commit I only include minmax.
Catalog version bumped due to new builtin catalog entries.
There's more that could be done here, but this is a good step forwards.
Loosely based on ideas from Simon Riggs; code mostly by Álvaro Herrera,
with contribution by Heikki Linnakangas.

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.

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.

log_newpage is used by many indexams, in addition to heap, but for
historical reasons it's always been part of the heapam rmgr. Starting with
9.3, we have another WAL record type for logging an image of a page,
XLOG_FPI. Simplify things by moving log_newpage and log_newpage_buffer to
xlog.c, and switch to using the XLOG_FPI record type.
Bump the WAL version number because the code to replay the old HEAP_NEWPAGE
records is removed.

Just feels more natural, and is more consistent with rm_redo.

This includes removing tabs after periods in C comments, which was
applied to back branches, so this change should not effect backpatching.

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.

When marking a branch as half-dead, a pointer to the top of the branch is
stored in the leaf block's hi-key. During normal operation, the high key
was left in place, and the block number was just stored in the ctid field
of the high key tuple, but in WAL replay, the high key was recreated as a
truncated tuple with zero columns. For the sake of easier debugging, also
truncate the tuple in normal operation, so that the page is identical
after WAL replay. Also, rename the 'downlink' field in the WAL record to
'topparent', as that seems like a more descriptive name. And make sure
it's set to invalid when unlinking the leaf page.

A couple of typos from my refactoring of the page deletion patch.

Inserting (in retail) into the new 9.4 format GIN posting tree created much
larger WAL records than in 9.3. The previous strategy to WAL logging was
basically to log the whole page on each change, with the exception of
completely unmodified segments up to the first modified one. That was not
too bad when appending to the end of the page, as only the last segment had
to be WAL-logged, but per Fujii Masao's testing, even that produced 2x the
WAL volume that 9.3 did.
The new strategy is to keep track of changes to the posting lists in a more
fine-grained fashion, and also make the repacking" code smarter to avoid
decoding and re-encoding segments unnecessarily.

In short, we don't allow a page to be deleted if it's the rightmost child
of its parent, but that situation can change after we check for it.
Problem
-------
We check that the page to be deleted is not the rightmost child of its
parent, and then lock its left sibling, the page itself, its right sibling,
and the parent, in that order. However, if the parent page is split after
the check but before acquiring the locks, the target page might become the
rightmost child, if the split happens at the right place. That leads to an
error in vacuum (I reproduced this by setting a breakpoint in debugger):
ERROR: failed to delete rightmost child 41 of block 3 in index "foo_pkey"
We currently re-check that the page is still the rightmost child, and throw
the above error if it's not. We could easily just give up rather than throw
an error, but that approach doesn't scale to half-dead pages. To recap,
although we don't normally allow deleting the rightmost child, if the page
is the *only* child of its parent, we delete the child page and mark the
parent page as half-dead in one atomic operation. But before we do that, we
check that the parent can later be deleted, by checking that it in turn is
not the rightmost child of the grandparent (potentially recursing all the
way up to the root). But the same situation can arise there - the
grandparent can be split while we're not holding the locks. We end up with
a half-dead page that we cannot delete.
To make things worse, the keyspace of the deleted page has already been
transferred to its right sibling. As the README points out, the keyspace at
the grandparent level is "out-of-whack" until the half-dead page is deleted,
and if enough tuples with keys in the transferred keyspace are inserted, the
page might get split and a downlink might be inserted into the grandparent
that is out-of-order. That might not cause any serious problem if it's
transient (as the README ponders), but is surely bad if it stays that way.
Solution
--------
This patch changes the page deletion algorithm to avoid that problem. After
checking that the topmost page in the chain of to-be-deleted pages is not
the rightmost child of its parent, and then deleting the pages from bottom
up, unlink the pages from top to bottom. This way, the intermediate stages
are similar to the intermediate stages in page splitting, and there is no
transient stage where the keyspace is "out-of-whack". The topmost page in
the to-be-deleted chain doesn't have a downlink pointing to it, like a page
split before the downlink has been inserted.
This also allows us to get rid of the cleanup step after WAL recovery, if we
crash during page deletion. The deletion will be continued at next VACUUM,
but the tree is consistent for searches and insertions at every step.
This bug is old, all supported versions are affected, but this patch is too
big to back-patch (and changes the WAL record formats of related records).
We have not heard any reports of the bug from users, so clearly it's not
easy to bump into. Maybe backpatch later, after this has had some field
testing.

This feature, building on previous commits, allows the write-ahead log
stream to be decoded into a series of logical changes; that is,
inserts, updates, and deletes and the transactions which contain them.
It is capable of handling decoding even across changes to the schema
of the effected tables. The output format is controlled by a
so-called "output plugin"; an example is included. To make use of
this in a real replication system, the output plugin will need to be
modified to produce output in the format appropriate to that system,
and to perform filtering.
Currently, information can be extracted from the logical decoding
system only via SQL; future commits will add the ability to stream
changes via walsender.

GIN posting lists are now encoded using varbyte-encoding, which allows them
to fit in much smaller space than the straight ItemPointer array format used
before. The new encoding is used for both the lists stored in-line in entry
tree items, and in posting tree leaf pages.
To maintain backwards-compatibility and keep pg_upgrade working, the code
can still read old-style pages and tuples. Posting tree leaf pages in the
new format are flagged with GIN_COMPRESSED flag, to distinguish old and new
format pages. Likewise, entry tree tuples in the new format have a
GIN_ITUP_COMPRESSED flag set in a bit that was previously unused.
This patch bumps GIN_CURRENT_VERSION from 1 to 2. New indexes created with
version 9.4 will therefore have version number 2 in the metapage, while old
pg_upgraded indexes will have version 1. The code treats them the same, but
it might be come handy in the future, if we want to drop support for the
uncompressed format.
