* Fix confusion on the padding of GIDs in on commit and abort records.Heikki Linnakangas2018-04-17
| | | | | | | | | | | Review of commit 1eb6d652: It's pointless to add padding to the GID fields, when the code that follows assumes that there is no alignment, and uses memcpy(). Remove the pointless padding. Update comments to note the new fields in the WAL records.

* Ignore nextOid when replaying an ONLINE checkpoint.Tom Lane2018-04-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The nextOid value is from the start of the checkpoint and may well be stale compared to values from more recent XLOG_NEXTOID records. Previously, we adopted it anyway, allowing the OID counter to go backwards during a crash. While this should be harmless, it contributed to the severity of the bug fixed in commit 0408e1ed5, by allowing duplicate TOAST OIDs to be assigned immediately following a crash. Without this error, that issue would only have arisen when TOAST objects just younger than a multiple of 2^32 OIDs were deleted and then not vacuumed in time to avoid a conflict.

* 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.
* Refactor dir/file permissionsStephen Frost2018-04-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Consolidate directory and file create permissions for tools which work with the PG data directory by adding a new module (common/file_perm.c) that contains variables (pg_file_create_mode, pg_dir_create_mode) and constants to initialize them (0600 for files and 0700 for directories). Convert mkdir() calls in the backend to MakePGDirectory() if the original call used default permissions (always the case for regular PG directories). Add tests to make sure permissions in PGDATA are set correctly by the tools which modify the PG data directory.

* 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.

* Allow memory contexts to have both fixed and variable ident strings.Tom Lane2018-03-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Originally, we treated memory context names as potentially variable in all cases, and therefore always copied them into the context header. Commit 9fa6f00b1 rethought this a little bit and invented a distinction between fixed and variable names, skipping the copy step for the former. But we can make things both simpler and more useful by instead allowing there to be two parts to a context's identification, a fixed "name" and an optional, variable "ident". The name supplied in the context create call is now required to be a compile-time-constant string in all cases, as it is never copied but just pointed to. The "ident" string, if wanted, is supplied later. This is needed because typically we want the ident to be stored inside the context so that it's cleaned up automatically on context deletion; that means it has to be copied into the context before we can set the pointer. The cost of this approach is basically just an additional pointer field in struct MemoryContextData, which isn't much overhead, and is bought back entirely in the AllocSet case by not needing a headerSize field anymore, since we no longer have to cope with variable header length. In addition, we can simplify the internal interfaces for memory context creation still further, saving a few cycles there. And it's no longer true that a custom identifier disqualifies a context from participating in aset.c's freelist scheme, so possibly there's some win on that end. All the places that were using non-compile-time-constant context names are adjusted to put the variable info into the "ident" instead. This allows more effective identification of those contexts in many cases; for example, subsidary contexts of relcache entries are now identified by both type (e.g. "index info") and relname, where before you got only one or the other. Contexts associated with PL function cache entries are now identified more fully and uniformly, too. I also arranged for plancache contexts to use the query source string as their identifier. This is basically free for CachedPlanSources, as they contained a copy of that string already. We pay an extra pstrdup to do it for CachedPlans. That could perhaps be avoided, but it would make things more fragile (since the CachedPlanSource is sometimes destroyed first). I suspect future improvements in error reporting will require CachedPlans to have a copy of that string anyway, so it's not clear that it's worth moving mountains to avoid it now. This also changes the APIs for context statistics routines so that the context-specific routines no longer assume that output goes straight to stderr, nor do they know all details of the output format. This is useful immediately to reduce code duplication, and it also allows for external code to do something with stats output that's different from printing to stderr. The reason for pushing this now rather than waiting for v12 is that it rethinks some of the API changes made by commit 9fa6f00b1. Seems better for extension authors to endure just one round of API changes not two. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAB=Je-FdtmFZ9y9REHD7VsSrnCkiBhsA4mdsLKSPauwXtQBeNA@mail.gmail.com

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | All of these are false positives, but in each case a fair amount of analysis is needed to see that, and it's not too surprising that not all compilers are smart enough. (In particular, in the logtape.c case, a compiler lacking the knowledge provided by the Assert would almost surely complain, so that this warning will be seen in any non-assert build.)

* Be more wary about shm_toc_lookup failure.Tom Lane2018-02-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 445dbd82a basically missed the point of commit d46633506, which was that we shouldn't allow shm_toc_lookup() failure to lead to a core dump or assertion crash, because the odds of such a failure should never be considered negligible. It's correct that we can't expect the PARALLEL_KEY_ERROR_QUEUE TOC entry to be there if we have no workers. But if we have no workers, we're not going to do anything in this function with the lookup result anyway, so let's just skip it. That lets the code use the easy-to-prove-safe noError=false case, rather than anything requiring effort to review. Back-patch to v10, like the previous commit.

* Support parallel btree index builds.Robert Haas2018-02-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To make this work, tuplesort.c and logtape.c must also support parallelism, so this patch adds that infrastructure and then applies it to the particular case of parallel btree index builds. Testing to date shows that this can often be 2-3x faster than a serial index build. The model for deciding how many workers to use is fairly primitive at present, but it's better than not having the feature. We can refine it as we get more experience.

* Add new function WaitForParallelWorkersToAttach.Robert Haas2018-02-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Once this function has been called, we know that all workers have started and attached to their error queues -- so if any of them subsequently exit uncleanly, we'll be sure to throw an ERROR promptly.

* Report an ERROR if a parallel worker fails to start properly.Robert Haas2018-01-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 28724fd90d2f85a0573a8107b48abad062a86d83 fixed things so that if a background worker fails to start due to fork() failure or because it is terminated before startup succeeds, BGWH_STOPPED will be reported. However, that only helps if the code that uses the background worker machinery notices the change in status, and the code in parallel.c did not. To fix that, do two things. First, make sure that when a worker exits, it triggers the leader to read from error queues. That way, if a worker which has attached to an error queue exits uncleanly, the leader is sure to throw some error, either the contents of the ErrorResponse sent by the worker, or "lost connection to parallel worker" if it exited without sending one. To cover the case where the worker never starts up in the first place or exits before attaching to the error queue, the ParallelContext now keeps track of which workers have sent at least one message via the error queue. A worker which sends no messages by the time the parallel operation finishes will be checked to see whether it exited before attaching to the error queue; if so, a new error message, "parallel worker failed to initialize", will be reported. If not, we'll continue to wait until it either starts up and exits cleanly, starts up and exits uncleanly, or fails to start, and then take the appropriate action.

* Fix bug in cancellation of non-exclusive backup to avoid assertion failure.Fujii Masao2017-12-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously an assertion failure occurred when pg_stop_backup() for non-exclusive backup was aborted while it's waiting for WAL files to be archived. This assertion failure happened in do_pg_abort_backup() which was called when a non-exclusive backup was canceled. do_pg_abort_backup() assumes that there is at least one non-exclusive backup running when it's called. But pg_stop_backup() can be canceled even after it marks the end of non-exclusive backup (e.g., during waiting for WAL archiving). This broke the assumption that do_pg_abort_backup() relies on, and which caused an assertion failure. This commit changes do_pg_abort_backup() so that it does nothing when non-exclusive backup has been already marked as completed. That is, the asssumption is also changed, and do_pg_abort_backup() now can handle even the case where it's called when there is no running backup.

* Rethink MemoryContext creation to improve performance.Tom Lane2017-12-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch makes a number of interrelated changes to reduce the overhead involved in creating/deleting memory contexts. The key ideas are: * Include the AllocSetContext header of an aset.c context in its first malloc request, rather than allocating it separately in TopMemoryContext. This means that we now always create an initial or "keeper" block in an aset, even if it never receives any allocation requests. * Create freelists in which we can save and recycle recently-destroyed asets (this idea is due to Robert Haas). * In the common case where the name of a context is a constant string, just store a pointer to it in the context header, rather than copying the string. The first change eliminates a palloc/pfree cycle per context, and also avoids bloat in TopMemoryContext, at the price that creating a context now involves a malloc/free cycle even if the context never receives any allocations. That would be a loser for some common usage patterns, but recycling short-lived contexts via the freelist eliminates that pain. Avoiding copying constant strings not only saves strlen() and strcpy() overhead, but is an essential part of the freelist optimization because it makes the context header size constant. Currently we make no attempt to use the freelist for contexts with non-constant names. (Perhaps someday we'll need to think harder about that, but in current usage, most contexts with custom names are long-lived anyway.) The freelist management in this initial commit is pretty simplistic, and we might want to refine it later --- but in common workloads that will never matter because the freelists will never get full anyway. To create a context with a non-constant name, one is now required to call AllocSetContextCreateExtended and specify the MEMCONTEXT_COPY_NAME option. AllocSetContextCreate becomes a wrapper macro, and it includes a test that will complain about non-string-literal context name parameters on gcc and similar compilers. An unfortunate side effect of making AllocSetContextCreate a macro is that one is now *required* to use the size parameter abstraction macros (ALLOCSET_DEFAULT_SIZES and friends) with it; the pre-9.6 habit of writing out individual size parameters no longer works unless you switch to AllocSetContextCreateExtended. Internally to the memory-context-related modules, the context creation APIs are simplified, removing the rather baroque original design whereby a context-type module called mcxt.c which then called back into the context-type module. That saved a bit of code duplication, but not much, and it prevented context-type modules from exercising control over the allocation of context headers. In passing, I converted the test-and-elog validation of aset size parameters into Asserts to save a few more cycles. The original thought was that callers might compute size parameters on the fly, but in practice nobody does that, so it's useless to expend cycles on checking those numbers in production builds. Also, mark the memory context method-pointer structs "const", just for cleanliness. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/2264.1512870796@sss.pgh.pa.us

| | | | | | | | | | | | | do_pg_start_backup() expects its callers to pass in an open DIR pointer for the pg_tblspc directory, but there's no apparent advantage in that. It complicates the callers without adding any flexibility, and there's no robustness advantage, since we surely have to be prepared for errors during the scan of pg_tblspc anyway. In fact, by holding an extra kernel resource during operations like the preliminary checkpoint, we might be making things a fraction more failure-prone not less. Hence, remove that argument and open the directory just for the duration of the actual scan. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/28752.1512413887@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Clean up assorted messiness around AllocateDir() usage.Tom Lane2017-12-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a couple of low-probability bugs that could lead to reporting an irrelevant errno value (and hence possibly a wrong SQLSTATE) concerning directory-open or file-open failures. It also fixes places where we took shortcuts in reporting such errors, either by using elog instead of ereport or by using ereport but forgetting to specify an errcode. And it eliminates a lot of just plain redundant error-handling code. In service of all this, export fd.c's formerly-static function ReadDirExtended, so that external callers can make use of the coding pattern dir = AllocateDir(path); while ((de = ReadDirExtended(dir, path, LOG)) != NULL) if they'd like to treat directory-open failures as mere LOG conditions rather than errors. Also fix FreeDir to be a no-op if we reach it with dir == NULL, as such a coding pattern would cause. Then, remove code at many call sites that was throwing an error or log message for AllocateDir failure, as ReadDir or ReadDirExtended can handle that job just fine. Aside from being a net code savings, this gets rid of a lot of not-quite-up-to-snuff reports, as mentioned above. (In some places these changes result in replacing a custom error message such as "could not open tablespace directory" with more generic wording "could not open directory", but it was agreed that the custom wording buys little as long as we report the directory name.) In some other call sites where we can't just remove code, change the error reports to be fully project-style-compliant. Also reorder code in restoreTwoPhaseData that was acquiring a lock between AllocateDir and ReadDir; in the unlikely but surely not impossible case that LWLockAcquire changes errno, AllocateDir failures would be misreported. There is no great value in opening the directory before acquiring TwoPhaseStateLock, so just do it in the other order. Also fix CheckXLogRemoved to guarantee that it preserves errno, as quite a number of call sites are implicitly assuming. (Again, it's unlikely but I think not impossible that errno could change during a SpinLockAcquire. If so, this function was broken for its own purposes as well as breaking callers.) And change a few places that were using not-per-project-style messages, such as "could not read directory" when "could not open directory" is more correct. Back-patch the exporting of ReadDirExtended, in case we have occasion to back-patch some fix that makes use of it; it's not needed right now but surely making it global is pretty harmless. Also back-patch the restoreTwoPhaseData and CheckXLogRemoved fixes. The rest of this is essentially cosmetic and need not get back-patched.

* Fix ReinitializeParallelDSM to tolerate finding no error queues.Robert Haas2017-11-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit d4663350646ca0c069a36d906155a0f7e3372eb7 changed things so that shm_toc_lookup would fail with an error rather than silently returning NULL in the hope that such failures would be reported in a useful way rather than via a system crash. However, it overlooked the fact that the lookup of PARALLEL_KEY_ERROR_QUEUE in ReinitializeParallelDSM is expected to fail when no DSM segment was created in the first place; in that case, we end up with a backend-private memory segment that still contains an entry for PARALLEL_KEY_FIXED but no others. Consequently a benign failure to initialize parallelism can escalate into an elog(ERROR); repair. Discussion: http://postgr.es/m/CA+Tgmob8LFw55DzH1QEREpBEA9RJ_W_amhBFCVZ6WMwUhVpOqg@mail.gmail.com

* Pad XLogReaderState's per-buffer data_bufsz more aggressively.Simon Riggs2017-11-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | Originally, we palloc'd this buffer just barely big enough to hold the largest xlog backup block seen so far. We now MAXALIGN the palloc size. The original coding could result in many repeated palloc cycles, in the worst case where we see a series ofgradually larger xlog records. We ameliorate that similarly to 8735978e7aebfbc499843630131c18d1f7346c79 by imposing a minimum buffer size of BLCKSZ. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/E1eHa4J-0006hI-Q8@gemulon.postgresql.org
* Pad XLogReaderState's main_data buffer more aggressively.Tom Lane2017-11-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Originally, we palloc'd this buffer just barely big enough to hold the largest xlog record seen so far. It turns out that that can result in valgrind complaints, because some compilers will emit code that assumes it can safely fetch padding bytes at the end of a struct, and those padding bytes were unallocated so far as aset.c was concerned. We can fix that by MAXALIGN'ing the palloc request size, ensuring that it is big enough to include any possible padding that might've been omitted from the on-disk record. An additional objection to the original coding is that it could result in many repeated palloc cycles, in the worst case where we see a series of gradually larger xlog records. We can ameliorate that cheaply by imposing a minimum buffer size that's large enough for most xlog records. BLCKSZ/2 was chosen after a bit of discussion. In passing, remove an obsolete comment in struct xl_heap_new_cid that the combocid field is free due to alignment considerations. Perhaps that was true at some point, but it's not now. Back-patch to 9.5 where this code came in. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/E1eHa4J-0006hI-Q8@gemulon.postgresql.org

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The lower case spellings are C and C++ standard and are used in most parts of the PostgreSQL sources. The upper case spellings are only used in some files/modules. So standardize on the standard spellings. The APIs for ICU, Perl, and Windows define their own TRUE and FALSE, so those are left as is when using those APIs. In code comments, we use the lower-case spelling for the C concepts and keep the upper-case spelling for the SQL concepts. Reviewed-by: Michael Paquier <michael.paquier@gmail.com>

* Remove unnecessary PG_TRY overhead for CurrentResourceOwner changes.Tom Lane2017-10-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | resowner/README contained advice to use a PG_TRY block to restore the old CurrentResourceOwner value anywhere that that variable is transiently changed. That advice was only inconsistently followed, however, and on reflection it seems like unnecessary overhead. We don't bother with such a convention for transient CurrentMemoryContext changes, on the grounds that any (sub)transaction abort will start out by resetting CurrentMemoryContext to what it wants. But the same is true of CurrentResourceOwner, so there seems no need to treat it differently. Hence, remove PG_TRY blocks that exist only to restore CurrentResourceOwner before re-throwing the error. There are a couple of places that restore it along with some other actions, and I left those alone; the restore is probably unnecessary but no noticeable gain will result from removing it.

* Fix access-off-end-of-array in clog.c.Tom Lane2017-10-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Sloppy loop coding in set_status_by_pages() resulted in fetching one array element more than it should from the subxids[] array. The odds of this resulting in SIGSEGV are pretty small, but we've certainly seen that happen with similar mistakes elsewhere. While at it, we can get rid of an extra TransactionIdToPage() calculation per loop. Per report from David Binderman. Back-patch to all supported branches, since this code is quite old.
