* Revise GUC names quoting in messages againPeter Eisentraut2024-05-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After further review, we want to move in the direction of always quoting GUC names in error messages, rather than the previous (PG16) wildly mixed practice or the intermittent (mid-PG17) idea of doing this depending on how possibly confusing the GUC name is. This commit applies appropriate quotes to (almost?) all mentions of GUC names in error messages. It partially supersedes a243569bf65 and 8d9978a7176, which had moved things a bit in the opposite direction but which then were abandoned in a partial state.

* Remove unused #include's from backend .c filesPeter Eisentraut2024-03-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | as determined by include-what-you-use (IWYU) While IWYU also suggests to *add* a bunch of #include's (which is its main purpose), this patch does not do that. In some cases, a more specific #include replaces another less specific one. Some manual adjustments of the automatic result: - IWYU currently doesn't know about includes that provide global variable declarations (like -Wmissing-variable-declarations), so those includes are being kept manually. - All includes for port(ability) headers are being kept for now, to play it safe. - No changes of catalog/pg_foo.h to catalog/pg_foo_d.h, to keep the patch from exploding in size. Note that this patch touches just *.c files, so nothing declared in header files changes in hidden ways. As a small example, in src/backend/access/transam/rmgr.c, some IWYU pragma annotations are added to handle a special case there.

* Move extra code out of the Pre/PostRestoreCommand() section.Nathan Bossart2023-10-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If SIGTERM is received within this section, the startup process will immediately proc_exit() in the signal handler, so it is inadvisable to include any more code than is required there (as such code is unlikely to be compatible with doing proc_exit() in a signal handler). This commit moves the code recently added to this section (see 1b06d7bac9 and 7fed801135) to outside of the section. This ensures that the startup process only calls proc_exit() in its SIGTERM handler for the duration of the system() call, which is how this code worked from v8.4 to v14.

* For cascading replication, wake physical and logical walsenders separatelyAndres Freund2023-04-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Physical walsenders can't send data until it's been flushed; logical walsenders can't decode and send data until it's been applied. On the standby, the WAL is flushed first, which will only wake up physical walsenders; and then applied, which will only wake up logical walsenders. Previously, all walsenders were awakened when the WAL was flushed. That was fine for logical walsenders on the primary; but on the standby the flushed WAL would have been not applied yet, so logical walsenders were awakened too early. Per idea from Jeff Davis and Amit Kapila.

| | | | | | | In ancient times, these belonged to arguments or fields that were actually of type long, but now they are not anymore, so this "L" decoration is just confusing. (Some other 0L and other "L" constants remain, where they are actually associated with a long type.)
* Revert refactoring of restore command code to shell_restore.cMichael Paquier2023-02-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commits 24c35ec and 57169ad. PreRestoreCommand() and PostRestoreCommand() need to be put closer to the system() call calling a restore_command, as they enable in_restore_command for the startup process which would in turn trigger an immediate proc_exit() in the SIGTERM handler. Perhaps we could get rid of this behavior entirely, but 24c35ec has made the window where the flag is enabled much larger than it was, and any Postgres-like actions (palloc, etc.) taken by code paths while the flag is enabled could lead to more severe issues in the shutdown processing. Note that curculio has showed that there are much more problems in this area, unrelated to this change, actually, hence the issues related to that had better be addressed first. Keeping the code of HEAD in line with the stable branches should make that a bit easier. Per discussion with Andres Freund and Nathan Bossart.

* Refactor code for restoring files via shell commandsMichael Paquier2023-01-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Presently, restore_command uses a different code path than archive_cleanup_command and recovery_end_command. These code paths are similar and can be easily combined, as long as it is possible to identify if a command should: - Issue a FATAL on signal. - Exit immediately on SIGTERM. While on it, this removes src/common/archive.c and its associated header. Since the introduction of c96de2c, BuildRestoreCommand() has become a simple wrapper of replace_percent_placeholders() able to call make_native_path(). This simplifies shell_restore.c as long as RestoreArchivedFile() includes a call to make_native_path().

* Refactor code in charge of running shell-based recovery commandsMichael Paquier2023-01-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The code specific to the execution of archive_cleanup_command, recovery_end_command and restore_command is moved to a new file named shell_restore.c. The code is split into three functions: - shell_restore(), that attempts the execution of a shell-based restore_command. - shell_archive_cleanup(), for archive_cleanup_command. - shell_recovery_end(), for recovery_end_command. This introduces no functional changes, with failure patterns and logs generated in consequence being the same as before (one case actually generates one less DEBUG2 message "could not restore" when a restore command succeeds but the follow-up stat() to check the size fails, but that only matters with a elevel high enough). This is preparatory work for allowing recovery modules, a facility similar to archive modules, with callbacks shaped similarly to the functions introduced here.

* Common function for percent placeholder replacementPeter Eisentraut2023-01-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are a number of places where a shell command is constructed with percent-placeholders (like %x). It's cumbersome to have to open-code this several times. This factors out this logic into a separate function. This also allows us to ensure consistency for and document some subtle behaviors, such as what to do with unrecognized placeholders. The unified handling is now that incorrect and unknown placeholders are an error, where previously in most cases they were skipped or ignored. This affects the following settings: - archive_cleanup_command - archive_command - recovery_end_command - restore_command - ssl_passphrase_command The following settings are part of this refactoring but already had stricter error handling and should be unchanged in their behavior: - basebackup_to_shell.command Reviewed-by: Nathan Bossart <nathandbossart@gmail.com> Discussion: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/5238bbed-0b01-83a6-d4b2-7eb0562a054e%40enterprisedb.com

* Clean up inconsistent use of fflush().Tom Lane2022-08-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | More than twenty years ago (79fcde48b), we hacked the postmaster to avoid a core-dump on systems that didn't support fflush(NULL). We've mostly, though not completely, hewed to that rule ever since. But such systems are surely gone in the wild, so in the spirit of cleaning out no-longer-needed portability hacks let's get rid of multiple per-file fflush() calls in favor of using fflush(NULL). Also, we were fairly inconsistent about whether to fflush() before popen() and system() calls. While we've received no bug reports about that, it seems likely that at least some of these call sites are at risk of odd behavior, such as error messages appearing in an unexpected order. Rather than expend a lot of brain cells figuring out which places are at hazard, let's just establish a uniform coding rule that we should fflush(NULL) before these calls. A no-op fflush() is surely of trivial cost compared to launching a sub-process via a shell; while if it's not a no-op then we likely need it.

* Improve performance of pgarch_readyXlog() with many status files.Robert Haas2021-11-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Presently, the archive_status directory was scanned for each file to archive. When there are many status files, say because archive_command has been failing for a long time, these directory scans can get very slow. With this change, the archiver remembers several files to archive during each directory scan, speeding things up. To ensure timeline history files are archived as quickly as possible, XLogArchiveNotify() forces the archiver to do a new directory scan as soon as the .ready file for one is created. Nathan Bossart, per a long discussion involving many people. It is not clear to me exactly who out of all those people reviewed this particular patch.

* Remove all use of ThisTimeLineID global variable outside of xlog.cRobert Haas2021-11-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | All such code deals with this global variable in one of three ways. Sometimes the same functions use it in more than one of these ways at the same time. First, sometimes it's an implicit argument to one or more functions being called in xlog.c or elsewhere, and must be set to the appropriate value before calling those functions lest they misbehave. In those cases, it is now passed as an explicit argument instead. Second, sometimes it's used to obtain the current timeline after the end of recovery, i.e. the timeline to which WAL is being written and flushed. Such code now calls GetWALInsertionTimeLine() or relies on the new out parameter added to GetFlushRecPtr(). Third, sometimes it's used during recovery to store the current replay timeline. That can change, so such code must generally update the value before each use. It can still do that, but must now use a local variable instead. The net effect of these changes is to reduce by a fair amount the amount of code that is directly accessing this global variable. That's good, because history has shown that we don't always think clearly about which timeline ID it's supposed to contain at any given point in time, or indeed, whether it has been or needs to be initialized at any given point in the code.

* 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.

* Make archiver process an auxiliary process.Fujii Masao2021-03-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit changes WAL archiver process so that it's treated as an auxiliary process and can use shared memory. This is an infrastructure patch required for upcoming shared-memory based stats collector patch series. These patch series basically need any processes including archiver that can report the statistics to access to shared memory. Since this patch itself is useful to simplify the code and when users monitor the status of archiver, it's committed separately in advance. This commit simplifies the code for WAL archiving. For example, previously backends need to signal to archiver via postmaster when they notify archiver that there are some WAL files to archive. On the other hand, this commit removes that signal to postmaster and enables backends to notify archier directly using shared latch. Also, as the side of this change, the information about archiver process becomes viewable at pg_stat_activity view.

* 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.

* Improve detection of child-process SIGPIPE failures.Tom Lane2018-12-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit ffa4cbd62 added logic to detect SIGPIPE failure of a COPY child process, but it only worked correctly if the SIGPIPE occurred in the immediate child process. Depending on the shell in use and the complexity of the shell command string, we might instead get back an exit code of 128 + SIGPIPE, representing a shell error exit reporting SIGPIPE in the child process. We could just hack up ClosePipeToProgram() to add the extra case, but it seems like this is a fairly general issue deserving a more general and better-documented solution. I chose to add a couple of functions in src/common/wait_error.c, which is a natural place to know about wait-result encodings, that will test for either a specific child-process signal type or any child-process signal failure. Then, adjust other places that were doing ad-hoc tests of this type to use the common functions. In RestoreArchivedFile, this fixes a race condition affecting whether the process will report an error or just silently proc_exit(1): before, that depended on whether the intermediate shell got SIGTERM'd itself or reported a child process failing on SIGTERM. Like the previous patch, back-patch to v10; we could go further but there seems no real need to. Per report from Erik Rijkers.

* Fix WAL recycling on standbys depending on archive_modeMichael Paquier2018-09-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A restart point or a checkpoint recycling WAL segments treats segments marked with neither ".done" (archiving is done) or ".ready" (segment is ready to be archived) in archive_status the same way for archive_mode being "on" or "always". While for a primary this is fine, a standby running a restart point with archive_mode = on would try to mark such a segment as ready for archiving, which is something that will never happen except after the standby is promoted. Note that this problem applies only to WAL segments coming from the local pg_wal the first time archive recovery is run. Segments part of a self-contained base backup are the most common case where this could happen, however even in this case normally the .done markers would be most likely part of the backup. Segments recovered from an archive are marked as .ready or .done by the startup process, and segments finished streaming are marked as such by the WAL receiver, so they are handled already.

* Make WAL segment size configurable at initdb time.Andres Freund2017-09-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For performance reasons a larger segment size than the default 16MB can be useful. A larger segment size has two main benefits: Firstly, in setups using archiving, it makes it easier to write scripts that can keep up with higher amounts of WAL, secondly, the WAL has to be written and synced to disk less frequently. But at the same time large segment size are disadvantageous for smaller databases. So far the segment size had to be configured at compile time, often making it unrealistic to choose one fitting to a particularly load. Therefore change it to a initdb time setting. This includes a breaking changes to the xlogreader.h API, which now requires the current segment size to be configured. For that and similar reasons a number of binaries had to be taught how to recognize the current segment size.

* Remove useless duplicate inclusions of system header files.Tom Lane2017-02-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | c.h #includes a number of core libc header files, such as <stdio.h>. There's no point in re-including these after having read postgres.h, postgres_fe.h, or c.h; so remove code that did so. While at it, also fix some places that were ignoring our standard pattern of "include postgres[_fe].h, then system header files, then other Postgres header files". While there's not any great magic in doing it that way rather than system headers last, it's silly to have just a few files deviating from the general pattern. (But I didn't attempt to enforce this globally, only in files I was touching anyway.) I'd be the first to say that this is mostly compulsive neatnik-ism, but over time it might save enough compile cycles to be useful.

* Rename "pg_xlog" directory to "pg_wal".Robert Haas2016-10-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "xlog" is not a particularly clear abbreviation for "write-ahead log", and it sometimes confuses users into believe that the contents of the "pg_xlog" directory are not critical data, leading to unpleasant consequences. So, rename the directory to "pg_wal". This patch modifies pg_upgrade and pg_basebackup to understand both the old and new directory layouts; the former is necessary given the purpose of the tool, while the latter merely avoids an unnecessary backward-compatibility break. We may wish to consider renaming other programs, switches, and functions which still use the old "xlog" naming to also refer to "wal". However, that's still under discussion, so let's do just this much for now. Discussion: CAB7nPqTeC-8+zux8_-4ZD46V7YPwooeFxgndfsq5Rg8ibLVm1A@mail.gmail.com Michael Paquier
* Avoid unlikely data-loss scenarios due to rename() without fsync.Andres Freund2016-03-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Renaming a file using rename(2) is not guaranteed to be durable in face of crashes. Use the previously added durable_rename()/durable_link_or_rename() in various places where we previously just renamed files. Most of the changed call sites are arguably not critical, but it seems better to err on the side of too much durability. The most prominent known case where the previously missing fsyncs could cause data loss is crashes at the end of a checkpoint. After the actual checkpoint has been performed, old WAL files are recycled. When they're filled, their contents are fdatasynced, but we did not fsync the containing directory. An OS/hardware crash in an unfortunate moment could then end up leaving that file with its old name, but new content; WAL replay would thus not replay it.

* At promotion, don't leave behind a partial segment on the old timeline.Heikki Linnakangas2015-05-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With commit de768844, a copy of the partial segment was archived with the .partial suffix, but the original file was still left in pg_xlog, so it didn't actually solve the problems with archiving the partial segment that it was supposed to solve. With this patch, the partial segment is renamed rather than copied, so we only archive it with the .partial suffix. Also be more robust in detecting if the last segment is already being archived. Previously I used XLogArchiveIsBusy() for that, but that's not quite right. With archive_mode='always', there might be a .ready file for it, and we don't want to rename it to .partial in that case. The old segment is needed until we're fully committed to the new timeline, i.e. until we've written the end-of-recovery WAL record and updated the min recovery point and timeline in the control file. So move the renaming later in the startup sequence, after all that's been done.
* Add archive_mode='always' option.Heikki Linnakangas2015-05-15

* Don't archive bogus recycled or preallocated files after timeline switch.Heikki Linnakangas2015-04-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After a timeline switch, we would leave behind recycled WAL segments that are in the future, but on the old timeline. After promotion, and after they become old enough to be recycled again, we would notice that they don't have a .ready or .done file, create a .ready file for them, and archive them. That's bogus, because the files contain garbage, recycled from an older timeline (or prealloced as zeros). We shouldn't archive such files. This could happen when we're following a timeline switch during replay, or when we switch to new timeline at end-of-recovery. To fix, whenever we switch to a new timeline, scan the data directory for WAL segments on the old timeline, but with a higher segment number, and remove them. Those don't belong to our timeline history, and are most likely bogus recycled or preallocated files. They could also be valid files that we streamed from the primary ahead of time, but in any case, they're not needed to recover to the new timeline.
