| | | | | | | | This reverts commit cb2fd7eac285b1b0a24eeb2b8ed4456b66c5a09f. Per numerous buildfarm members, it was incompatible with parallel query, and a test case assumed LP64. Back-patch to 9.5 (all supported versions). Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20200321224920.GB1763544@rfd.leadboat.com
* Skip WAL for new relfilenodes, under wal_level=minimal.Noah Misch2020-03-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Until now, only selected bulk operations (e.g. COPY) did this. If a given relfilenode received both a WAL-skipping COPY and a WAL-logged operation (e.g. INSERT), recovery could lose tuples from the COPY. See src/backend/access/transam/README section "Skipping WAL for New RelFileNode" for the new coding rules. Maintainers of table access methods should examine that section. To maintain data durability, just before commit, we choose between an fsync of the relfilenode and copying its contents to WAL. A new GUC, wal_skip_threshold, guides that choice. If this change slows a workload that creates small, permanent relfilenodes under wal_level=minimal, try adjusting wal_skip_threshold. Users setting a timeout on COMMIT may need to adjust that timeout, and log_min_duration_statement analysis will reflect time consumption moving to COMMIT from commands like COPY. Internally, this requires a reliable determination of whether RollbackAndReleaseCurrentSubTransaction() would unlink a relation's current relfilenode. Introduce rd_firstRelfilenodeSubid. Amend the specification of rd_createSubid such that the field is zero when a new rel has an old rd_node. Make relcache.c retain entries for certain dropped relations until end of transaction. Back-patch to 9.5 (all supported versions). This introduces a new WAL record type, XLOG_GIST_ASSIGN_LSN, without bumping XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC. As always, update standby systems before master systems. This changes sizeof(RelationData) and sizeof(IndexStmt), breaking binary compatibility for affected extensions. (The most recent commit to affect the same class of extensions was 089e4d405d0f3b94c74a2c6a54357a84a681754b.) Kyotaro Horiguchi, reviewed (in earlier, similar versions) by Robert Haas.

| | | | | | | | | | | | The "l" (ell) width spec means something in the corresponding scanf usage, but not here. While modern POSIX says that applying "l" to "f" and other floating format specs is a no-op, SUSv2 says it's undefined.

* Further cleanup of client dependencies on src/include/catalog headers.Tom Lane2018-04-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In commit 9c0a0de4c, I'd failed to notice that catalog/catalog.h should also be considered a frontend-unsafe header, because it includes (and needs) the full form of pg_class.h, not to mention relcache.h. However, various frontend code was depending on it to get TABLESPACE_VERSION_DIRECTORY, so refactoring of some sort is called for. The cleanest answer seems to be to move TABLESPACE_VERSION_DIRECTORY, as well as the OIDCHARS symbol, to common/relpath.h. Do that, and mop up inclusions as necessary. (I found that quite a few current users of catalog/catalog.h don't seem to need it at all anymore, apparently as a result of the refactorings that created common/relpath.[hc]. And initdb.c needed it only as a route to pg_class_d.h.) Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/6629.1523294509@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Revert "Allow on-line enabling and disabling of data checksums"Magnus Hagander2018-04-09

I have, at least for now, left the pg_verify_checksums tool in place, as this tool can be very valuable without the rest of the patch as well, and since it's a read-only tool that only runs when the cluster is down it should be a lot safer.
* Indexes with INCLUDE columns and their support in B-treeTeodor Sigaev2018-04-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces INCLUDE clause to index definition. This clause specifies a list of columns which will be included as a non-key part in the index. The INCLUDE columns exist solely to allow more queries to benefit from index-only scans. Also, such columns don't need to have appropriate operator classes. Expressions are not supported as INCLUDE columns since they cannot be used in index-only scans. Index access methods supporting INCLUDE are indicated by amcaninclude flag in IndexAmRoutine. For now, only B-tree indexes support INCLUDE clause. In B-tree indexes INCLUDE columns are truncated from pivot index tuples (tuples located in non-leaf pages and high keys). Therefore, B-tree indexes now might have variable number of attributes. This patch also provides generic facility to support that: pivot tuples contain number of their attributes in t_tid.ip_posid. Free 13th bit of t_info is used for indicating that. This facility will simplify further support of index suffix truncation. The changes of above are backward-compatible, pg_upgrade doesn't need special handling of B-tree indexes for that.

* Allow on-line enabling and disabling of data checksumsMagnus Hagander2018-04-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This makes it possible to turn checksums on in a live cluster, without the previous need for dump/reload or logical replication (and to turn it off). Enabling checkusm starts a background process in the form of a launcher/worker combination that goes through the entire database and recalculates checksums on each and every page. Only when all pages have been checksummed are they fully enabled in the cluster. Any failure of the process will revert to checksums off and the process has to be started. This adds a new WAL record that indicates the state of checksums, so the process works across replicated clusters.

* Fix some dubious WAL-parsing code.Tom Lane2018-04-02
| | | | | | | | | | Coverity complained about possible buffer overrun in two places added by commit 1eb6d6527, and AFAICS it's reasonable to worry: even granting that the WAL originator properly truncated the commit GID to GIDSIZE, we should not really bet our lives on that having the same value as it does in the current build. Hence, use strlcpy() not strcpy(), and adjust the pointer advancement logic to be sure we skip over the whole source string even if strlcpy() truncated it.

* Phase 3 of pgindent updates.Tom Lane2017-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Don't move parenthesized lines to the left, even if that means they flow past the right margin. By default, BSD indent lines up statement continuation lines that are within parentheses so that they start just to the right of the preceding left parenthesis. However, traditionally, if that resulted in the continuation line extending to the right of the desired right margin, then indent would push it left just far enough to not overrun the margin, if it could do so without making the continuation line start to the left of the current statement indent. That makes for a weird mix of indentations unless one has been completely rigid about never violating the 80-column limit. This behavior has been pretty universally panned by Postgres developers. Hence, disable it with indent's new -lpl switch, so that parenthesized lines are always lined up with the preceding left paren. This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

* Phase 2 of pgindent updates.Tom Lane2017-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change pg_bsd_indent to follow upstream rules for placement of comments to the right of code, and remove pgindent hack that caused comments following #endif to not obey the general rule. Commit e3860ffa4dd0dad0dd9eea4be9cc1412373a8c89 wasn't actually using the published version of pg_bsd_indent, but a hacked-up version that tried to minimize the amount of movement of comments to the right of code. The situation of interest is where such a comment has to be moved to the right of its default placement at column 33 because there's code there. BSD indent has always moved right in units of tab stops in such cases --- but in the previous incarnation, indent was working in 8-space tab stops, while now it knows we use 4-space tabs. So the net result is that in about half the cases, such comments are placed one tab stop left of before. This is better all around: it leaves more room on the line for comment text, and it means that in such cases the comment uniformly starts at the next 4-space tab stop after the code, rather than sometimes one and sometimes two tabs after. Also, ensure that comments following #endif are indented the same as comments following other preprocessor commands such as #else. That inconsistency turns out to have been self-inflicted damage from a poorly-thought-through post-indent "fixup" in pgindent. This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

* Fix race condition in reading commit timestampsAlvaro Herrera2017-01-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a user requests the commit timestamp for a transaction old enough that its data is concurrently being truncated away by vacuum at just the right time, they would receive an ugly internal file-not-found error message from slru.c rather than the expected NULL return value. In a primary server, the window for the race is very small: the lookup has to occur exactly between the two calls by vacuum, and there's not a lot that happens between them (mostly just a multixact truncate). In a standby server, however, the window is larger because the truncation is executed as soon as the WAL record for it is replayed, but the advance of the oldest-Xid is not executed until the next checkpoint record. To fix in the primary, simply reverse the order of operations in vac_truncate_clog. To fix in the standby, augment the WAL truncation record so that the standby is aware of the new oldest-XID value and can apply the update immediately. WAL version bumped because of this. No backpatch, because of the low importance of the bug and its rarity.

* Clear all-frozen visibilitymap status when locking tuples.Andres Freund2016-07-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Emit invalidations to standby for transactions without xid.Andres Freund2016-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

Previously it was impossible because restoring from custom WAL would need to access system catalog to find a redo custom function. This patch suggests generic way to describe changes on page with standart layout. Bump XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC because of new record type.

* Merge wal_level "archive" and "hot_standby" into new name "replica"Peter Eisentraut2016-03-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | NextXID has been rendered in the form of a pg_lsn even though it really is not. This can cause confusion, so change the format from %u/%u to %u:%u, per discussion on hackers. Complaint by me, patch by me and Bruce, reviewed by Michael Paquier and Alvaro. Applied to HEAD only.

* Avoid pin scan for replay of XLOG_BTREE_VACUUMSimon Riggs2016-01-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Rename (new|old)estCommitTs to (new|old)estCommitTsXidJoe Conway2015-12-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The variables newestCommitTs and oldestCommitTs sound as if they are timestamps, but in fact they are the transaction Ids that correspond to the newest and oldest timestamps rather than the actual timestamps. Rename these variables to reflect that they are actually xids: to wit newestCommitTsXid and oldestCommitTsXid respectively. Also modify related code in a similar fashion, particularly the user facing output emitted by pg_controldata and pg_resetxlog. Complaint and patch by me, review by Tom Lane and Alvaro Herrera. Backpatch to 9.5 where these variables were first introduced.
