* Avoid creating archive status ".ready" files too earlyAlvaro Herrera2021-08-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | WAL records may span multiple segments, but XLogWrite() does not wait for the entire record to be written out to disk before creating archive status files. Instead, as soon as the last WAL page of the segment is written, the archive status file is created, and the archiver may process it. If PostgreSQL crashes before it is able to write and flush the rest of the record (in the next WAL segment), the wrong version of the first segment file lingers in the archive, which causes operations such as point-in-time restores to fail. To fix this, keep track of records that span across segments and ensure that segments are only marked ready-for-archival once such records have been completely written to disk. This has always been wrong, so backpatch all the way back.

* Refresh apply delay on reload of recovery_min_apply_delay at recoveryMichael Paquier2021-08-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit ensures that the wait interval in the replay delay loop waiting for an amount of time defined by recovery_min_apply_delay is correctly handled on reload, recalculating the delay if this GUC value is updated, based on the timestamp of the commit record being replayed. The previous behavior would be problematic for example with replay still waiting even if the delay got reduced or just cancelled. If the apply delay was increased to a larger value, the wait would have just respected the old value set, finishing earlier.

* Make the standby server promptly handle interrupt signals.Fujii Masao2021-07-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit changes the startup process in the standby server so that it handles the interrupt signals after waiting for wal_retrieve_retry_interval on the latch and resetting it, before entering another wait on the latch. This change causes the standby server to promptly handle interrupt signals. Otherwise, previously, there was the case where the standby needs to wait extra five seconds to shutdown when the shutdown request arrived while the startup process was waiting for wal_retrieve_retry_interval on the latch.

* Advance old-segment horizon properly after slot invalidationAlvaro Herrera2021-07-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When some slots are invalidated due to the max_slot_wal_keep_size limit, the old segment horizon should move forward to stay within the limit. However, in commit c6550776394e we forgot to call KeepLogSeg again to recompute the horizon after invalidating replication slots. In cases where other slots remained, the limits would be recomputed eventually for other reasons, but if all slots were invalidated, the limits would not move at all afterwards. Repair.

* Fix corner case failure of new standby to follow new primary.Robert Haas2021-06-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This only happens if (1) the new standby has no WAL available locally, (2) the new standby is starting from the old timeline, (3) the promotion happened in the WAL segment from which the new standby is starting, (4) the timeline history file for the new timeline is available from the archive but the WAL files for are not (i.e. this is a race), (5) the WAL files for the new timeline are available via streaming, and (6) recovery_target_timeline='latest'. Commit ee994272ca50f70b53074f0febaec97e28f83c4e introduced this logic and was an improvement over the previous code, but it mishandled this case. If recovery_target_timeline='latest' and restore_command is set, validateRecoveryParameters() can change recoveryTargetTLI to be different from receiveTLI. If streaming is then tried afterward, expectedTLEs gets initialized with the history of the wrong timeline. It's supposed to be a list of entries explaining how to get to the target timeline, but in this case it ends up with a list of entries explaining how to get to the new standby's original timeline, which isn't right.

* Prevent buffer overrun in read_tablespace_map().Tom Lane2021-03-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Robert Foggia of Trustwave reported that read_tablespace_map() fails to prevent an overrun of its on-stack input buffer. Since the tablespace map file is presumed trustworthy, this does not seem like an interesting security vulnerability, but still we should fix it just in the name of robustness. While here, document that pg_basebackup's --tablespace-mapping option doesn't work with tar-format output, because it doesn't. To make it work, we'd have to modify the tablespace_map file within the tarball sent by the server, which might be possible but I'm not volunteering. (Less-painful solutions would require changing the basebackup protocol so that the source server could adjust the map. That's not very appetizing either.)
* Fix and simplify some usages of TimestampDifference().Tom Lane2020-11-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce TimestampDifferenceMilliseconds() to simplify callers that would rather have the difference in milliseconds, instead of the select()-oriented seconds-and-microseconds format. This gets rid of at least one integer division per call, and it eliminates some apparently-easy-to-mess-up arithmetic. Two of these call sites were in fact wrong: * pg_prewarm's autoprewarm_main() forgot to multiply the seconds by 1000, thus ending up with a delay 1000X shorter than intended. That doesn't quite make it a busy-wait, but close. * postgres_fdw's pgfdw_get_cleanup_result() thought it needed to compute microseconds not milliseconds, thus ending up with a delay 1000X longer than intended. Somebody along the way had noticed this problem but misdiagnosed the cause, and imposed an ad-hoc 60-second limit rather than fixing the units. This was relatively harmless in context, because we don't care that much about exactly how long this delay is; still, it's wrong. There are a few more callers of TimestampDifference() that don't have a direct need for seconds-and-microseconds, but can't use TimestampDifferenceMilliseconds() either because they do need microsecond precision or because they might possibly deal with intervals long enough to overflow 32-bit milliseconds. It might be worth inventing another API to improve that, but that seems outside the scope of this patch; so those callers are untouched here. Given the fact that we are fixing some bugs, and the likelihood that future patches might want to back-patch code that uses this new API, back-patch to all supported branches.

* Rename wal_keep_segments to wal_keep_size.Fujii Masao2020-07-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | max_slot_wal_keep_size that was added in v13 and wal_keep_segments are the GUC parameters to specify how much WAL files to retain for the standby servers. While max_slot_wal_keep_size accepts the number of bytes of WAL files, wal_keep_segments accepts the number of WAL files. This difference of setting units between those similar parameters could be confusing to users. To alleviate this situation, this commit renames wal_keep_segments to wal_keep_size, and make users specify the WAL size in it instead of the number of WAL files. There was also the idea to rename max_slot_wal_keep_size to max_slot_wal_keep_segments, in the discussion. But we have been moving away from measuring in segments, for example, checkpoint_segments was replaced by max_wal_size. So we concluded to rename wal_keep_segments to wal_keep_size.

Under the new definition, reserved means the slot is consuming WAL that's still under the normal WAL size constraints; extended means it's consuming WAL that's being protected by wal_keep_segments or the slot itself, whose size is below max_slot_wal_keep_size; unreserved means the WAL is no longer safe, but checkpoint has not yet removed those files. Such as slot is in imminent danger, but can still continue for a little while and may catch up to the reserved WAL space.

* Collect built-in LWLock tranche names statically, not dynamically.Tom Lane2020-05-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is little point in using the LWLockRegisterTranche mechanism for built-in tranche names. It wastes cycles, it creates opportunities for bugs (since failing to register a tranche name is a very hard-to-detect problem), and the lack of any centralized list of names encourages sloppy nonconformity in name choices. Moreover, since we have a centralized list of the tranches anyway in enum BuiltinTrancheIds, we're certainly not buying any flexibility in return for these disadvantages. Hence, nuke all the backend-internal LWLockRegisterTranche calls, and instead provide a const array of the builtin tranche names. (I have in mind to change a bunch of these names shortly, but this patch is just about getting them into one place.) Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/9056.1589419765@sss.pgh.pa.us

This was confusing and hard to follow, so restructure things so that these callbacks are passed together at XLogReaderAllocate time, and add another callback to the set (segment_close) to make it a coherent whole. Also, ensure XLogReaderState is an argument to all the callbacks, so that they can grab at the ->private data if necessary. Document the whole arrangement more clearly.

* Fix handling of WAL segments ready to be archived during crash recoveryMichael Paquier2020-04-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 78ea8b5 has fixed an issue related to the recycling of WAL segments on standbys depending on archive_mode. However, it has introduced a regression with the handling of WAL segments ready to be archived during crash recovery, causing those files to be recycled without getting archived. This commit fixes the regression by tracking in shared memory if a live cluster is either in crash recovery or archive recovery as the handling of WAL segments ready to be archived is different in both cases (those WAL segments should not be removed during crash recovery), and by using this new shared memory state to decide if a segment can be recycled or not. Previously, it was not possible to know if a cluster was in crash recovery or archive recovery as the shared state was able to track only if recovery was happening or not, leading to the problem. A set of TAP tests is added to close the gap here, making sure that WAL segments ready to be archived are correctly handled when a cluster is in archive or crash recovery with archive_mode set to "on" or "always", for both standby and primary.

* Generate backup manifests for base backups, and validate them.Robert Haas2020-04-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A manifest is a JSON document which includes (1) the file name, size, last modification time, and an optional checksum for each file backed up, (2) timelines and LSNs for whatever WAL will need to be replayed to make the backup consistent, and (3) a checksum for the manifest itself. By default, we use CRC-32C when checksumming data files, because we are trying to detect corruption and user error, not foil an adversary. However, pg_basebackup and the server-side BASE_BACKUP command now have options to select a different algorithm, so users wanting a cryptographic hash function can select SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, or SHA-512. Users not wanting file checksums at all can disable them, or disable generating of the backup manifest altogether. Using a cryptographic hash function in place of CRC-32C consumes significantly more CPU cycles, which may slow down backups in some cases. A new tool called pg_validatebackup can validate a backup against the manifest. If no checksums are present, it can still check that the right files exist and that they have the expected sizes. If checksums are present, it can also verify that each file has the expected checksum. Additionally, it calls pg_waldump to verify that the expected WAL files are present and parseable. Only plain format backups can be validated directly, but tar format backups can be validated after extracting them.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The definitions of the routines defined in xlogarchive.c have been part of xlog_internal.h which is included by several frontend tools, but all those routines are only called by the backend. More cleanup could be done within xlog_internal.h, but that's already a nice cut. This will help a follow-up patch for pg_rewind where handling of restore_command is added for frontends.

* Improve handling of parameter differences in physical replicationPeter Eisentraut2020-03-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When certain parameters are changed on a physical replication primary, this is communicated to standbys using the XLOG_PARAMETER_CHANGE WAL record. The standby then checks whether its own settings are at least as big as the ones on the primary. If not, the standby shuts down with a fatal error. The correspondence of settings between primary and standby is required because those settings influence certain shared memory sizings that are required for processing WAL records that the primary might send. For example, if the primary sends a prepared transaction, the standby must have had max_prepared_transaction set appropriately or it won't be able to process those WAL records. However, fatally shutting down the standby immediately upon receipt of the parameter change record might be a bit of an overreaction. The resources related to those settings are not required immediately at that point, and might never be required if the activity on the primary does not exhaust all those resources. If we just let the standby roll on with recovery, it will eventually produce an appropriate error when those resources are used. So this patch relaxes this a bit. Upon receipt of XLOG_PARAMETER_CHANGE, we still check the settings but only issue a warning and set a global flag if there is a problem. Then when we actually hit the resource issue and the flag was set, we issue another warning message with relevant information. At that point we pause recovery, so a hot standby remains usable. We also repeat the last warning message once a minute so it is harder to miss or ignore.

* Allow walreceiver configuration to change on reloadAlvaro Herrera2020-03-27

* Set wal_receiver_create_temp_slot PGC_POSTMASTERAlvaro Herrera2020-03-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 329730827848 gave walreceiver the ability to create and use a temporary replication slot, and made it controllable by a GUC (enabled by default) that can be changed with SIGHUP. That's useful but has two problems: one, it's possible to cause the origin server to fill its disk if the slot doesn't advance in time; and also there's a disconnect between state passed down via the startup process and GUCs that walreceiver reads directly. We handle the first problem by setting the option to disabled by default. If the user enables it, its on their head to make sure that disk doesn't fill up. We handle the second problem by passing the flag via startup rather than having walreceiver acquire it directly, and making it PGC_POSTMASTER (which ensures a walreceiver always has the fresh value). A future commit can relax this (to PGC_SIGHUP again) by having the startup process signal walreceiver to shutdown whenever the value changes.

* Prefer standby promotion over recovery pause.Fujii Masao2020-03-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously if a promotion was triggered while recovery was paused, the paused state continued. Also recovery could be paused by executing pg_wal_replay_pause() even while a promotion was ongoing. That is, recovery pause had higher priority over a standby promotion. But this behavior was not desirable because most users basically wanted the recovery to complete as soon as possible and the server to become the master when they requested a promotion. This commit changes recovery so that it prefers a promotion over recovery pause. That is, if a promotion is triggered while recovery is paused, the paused state ends and a promotion continues. Also this commit makes recovery pause functions like pg_wal_replay_pause() throw an error if they are executed while a promotion is ongoing. Internally, this commit adds new internal function PromoteIsTriggered() that returns true if a promotion is triggered. Since the name of this function and the existing function IsPromoteTriggered() are confusingly similar, the commit changes the name of IsPromoteTriggered() to IsPromoteSignaled, as more appropriate name.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit renames RecoveryWalAll and RecoveryWalStream wait events to RecoveryWalStream and RecoveryRetrieveRetryInterval, respectively, in order to make the names and what they are more consistent. For example, previously RecoveryWalAll was reported as a wait event while the recovery was waiting for WAL from a stream, and which was confusing because the name was very different from the situation where the wait actually could happen. The names of macro variables for those wait events also are renamed accordingly. This commit also changes the category of RecoveryRetrieveRetryInterval to Timeout from Activity because the wait event is reported while waiting based on wal_retrieve_retry_interval.

* Refactor ps_status.c APIPeter Eisentraut2020-03-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The init_ps_display() arguments were mostly lies by now, so to match typical usage, just use one argument and let the caller assemble it from multiple sources if necessary. The only user of the additional arguments is BackendInitialize(), which was already doing string assembly on the caller side anyway. Remove the second argument of set_ps_display() ("force") and just handle that in init_ps_display() internally. BackendInitialize() also used to set the initial status as "authentication", but that was very far from where authentication actually happened. So now it's set to "initializing" and then "authentication" just before the actual call to ClientAuthentication().

* Avoid assertion failure with targeted recovery in standby mode.Fujii Masao2020-03-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At the end of recovery, standby mode is turned off to re-fetch the last valid record from archive or pg_wal. Previously, if recovery target was reached and standby mode was turned off while the current WAL source was stream, recovery could try to retrieve WAL file containing the last valid record unexpectedly from stream even though not in standby mode. This caused an assertion failure. That is, the assertion test confirms that WAL file should not be retrieved from stream if standby mode is not true. This commit moves back the current WAL source to archive if it's stream even though not in standby mode, to avoid that assertion failure. This issue doesn't cause the server to crash when built with assertion disabled. In this case, the attempt to retrieve WAL file from stream not in standby mode just fails. And then recovery tries to retrieve WAL file from archive or pg_wal. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* Account explicitly for long-lived FDs that are allocated outside fd.c.Tom Lane2020-02-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The comments in fd.c have long claimed that all file allocations should go through that module, but in reality that's not always practical. fd.c doesn't supply APIs for invoking some FD-producing syscalls like pipe() or epoll_create(); and the APIs it does supply for non-virtual FDs are mostly insistent on releasing those FDs at transaction end; and in some cases the actual open() call is in code that can't be made to use fd.c, such as libpq. This has led to a situation where, in a modern server, there are likely to be seven or so long-lived FDs per backend process that are not known to fd.c. Since NUM_RESERVED_FDS is only 10, that meant we had *very* few spare FDs if max_files_per_process is >= the system ulimit and fd.c had opened all the files it thought it safely could. The contrib/postgres_fdw regression test, in particular, could easily be made to fall over by running it under a restrictive ulimit. To improve matters, invent functions Acquire/Reserve/ReleaseExternalFD that allow outside callers to tell fd.c that they have or want to allocate a FD that's not directly managed by fd.c. Add calls to track all the fixed FDs in a standard backend session, so that we are honestly guaranteeing that NUM_RESERVED_FDS FDs remain unused below the EMFILE limit in a backend's idle state. The coding rules for these functions say that there's no need to call them in code that just allocates one FD over a fairly short interval; we can dip into NUM_RESERVED_FDS for such cases. That means that there aren't all that many places where we need to worry. But postgres_fdw and dblink must use this facility to account for long-lived FDs consumed by libpq connections. There may be other places where it's worth doing such accounting, too, but this seems like enough to solve the immediate problem. Internally to fd.c, "external" FDs are limited to max_safe_fds/3 FDs. (Callers can choose to ignore this limit, but of course it's unwise to do so except for fixed file allocations.) I also reduced the limit on "allocated" files to max_safe_fds/3 FDs (it had been max_safe_fds/2). Conceivably a smarter rule could be used here --- but in practice, on reasonable systems, max_safe_fds should be large enough that this isn't much of an issue, so KISS for now. To avoid possible regression in the number of external or allocated files that can be opened, increase FD_MINFREE and the lower limit on max_files_per_process a little bit; we now insist that the effective "ulimit -n" be at least 64. This seems like pretty clearly a bug fix, but in view of the lack of field complaints, I'll refrain from risking a back-patch. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/E1izCmM-0005pV-Co@gemulon.postgresql.org
