* Add support for security invoker views.Dean Rasheed2022-03-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A security invoker view checks permissions for accessing its underlying base relations using the privileges of the user of the view, rather than the privileges of the view owner. Additionally, if any of the base relations are tables with RLS enabled, the policies of the user of the view are applied, rather than those of the view owner. This allows views to be defined without giving away additional privileges on the underlying base relations, and matches a similar feature available in other database systems. It also allows views to operate more naturally with RLS, without affecting the assignments of policies to users. Christoph Heiss, with some additional hacking by me.

* Add circular WAL decoding buffer, take II.Thomas Munro2022-03-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Teach xlogreader.c to decode the WAL into a circular buffer. This will support optimizations based on looking ahead, to follow in a later commit. * XLogReadRecord() works as before, decoding records one by one, and allowing them to be examined via the traditional XLogRecGetXXX() macros and certain traditional members like xlogreader->ReadRecPtr. * An alternative new interface XLogReadAhead()/XLogNextRecord() is added that returns pointers to DecodedXLogRecord objects so that it's now possible to look ahead in the WAL stream while replaying. * In order to be able to use the new interface effectively while streaming data, support is added for the page_read() callback to respond to a new nonblocking mode with XLREAD_WOULDBLOCK instead of waiting for more data to arrive. No direct user of the new interface is included in this commit, though XLogReadRecord() uses it internally. Existing code doesn't need to change, except in a few places where it was accessing reader internals directly and now needs to go through accessor macros.

* Fix race between DROP TABLESPACE and checkpointing.Thomas Munro2022-03-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commands like ALTER TABLE SET TABLESPACE may leave files for the next checkpoint to clean up. If such files are not removed by the time DROP TABLESPACE is called, we request a checkpoint so that they are deleted. However, there is presently a window before checkpoint start where new unlink requests won't be scheduled until the following checkpoint. This means that the checkpoint forced by DROP TABLESPACE might not remove the files we expect it to remove, and the following ERROR will be emitted: ERROR: tablespace "mytblspc" is not empty To fix, add a call to AbsorbSyncRequests() just before advancing the unlink cycle counter. This ensures that any unlink requests forwarded prior to checkpoint start (i.e., when ckpt_started is incremented) will be processed by the current checkpoint. Since AbsorbSyncRequests() performs memory allocations, it cannot be called within a critical section, so we also need to move SyncPreCheckpoint() to before CreateCheckPoint()'s critical section. This is an old bug, so back-patch to all supported versions.

* VACUUM VERBOSE: tweak scanned_pages logic.Peter Geoghegan2022-03-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 872770fd6c taught VACUUM VERBOSE and autovacuum logging to display the total number of pages scanned by VACUUM. This information was also displayed as a percentage of rel_pages in parenthesis, which makes it easy to spot trends over time and across tables. The instrumentation displayed "0 scanned (0.00% of total)" for totally empty tables. Tweak the instrumentation: have it show "0 scanned (100.00% of total)" for empty tables instead. This approach is clearer and more consistent.
* vacuumlazy.c: Standardize rel_pages terminology.Peter Geoghegan2022-03-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | VACUUM's rel_pages field indicates the size of the target heap rel just after the table_relation_vacuum() operation began. There are specific expectations around how rel_pages can be related to other nearby state. In particular, the range of rel_pages must contain every tuple in the relation whose tuple headers might contain an XID < OldestXmin. Consistently refer to the field as rel_pages to make this clearer and more discoverable. This is follow-up work to commit 73f6ec3d from earlier today.

* vacuumlazy.c: document vistest and OldestXmin.Peter Geoghegan2022-03-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Explain the relationship between vacuumlazy.c's vistest and OldestXmin cutoffs. These closely related cutoffs are different in subtle but important ways. Also document a closely related rule: we must establish rel_pages _after_ OldestXmin to ensure that no XID < OldestXmin can be missed by lazy_scan_heap(). It's easier to explain these issues by initializing everything together, so consolidate initialization of vacrel state. Now almost every vacrel field is initialized by heap_vacuum_rel(). The only remaining exception is the dead_items array, which is still managed by lazy_scan_heap() due to interactions with how we initialize parallel VACUUM. Also move the process that updates pg_class entries for each index into heap_vacuum_rel(), and adjust related assertions. All pg_class updates now take place after lazy_scan_heap() returns, which seems clearer.

* Add support for zstd with compression of full-page writes in WALMichael Paquier2022-03-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | wal_compression gains a new value, "zstd", to allow the compression of full-page images using the compression method of the same name. Compression is done using the default level recommended by the library, as of ZSTD_CLEVEL_DEFAULT = 3. Some benchmarking has shown that it could make sense to use a level lower for the FPI compression, like 1 or 2, as the compression rate did not change much with a bit less CPU consumed, but any tests done would only cover few scenarios so it is hard to come to a clear conclusion. Anyway, there is no reason to not use the default level instead, which is the level recommended by the library so it should be fine for most cases. zstd outclasses easily pglz, and is better than LZ4 where one wants to have more compression at the cost of extra CPU but both are good enough in their own scenarios, so the choice between one or the other of these comes to a study of the workload patterns and the schema involved, mainly. This commit relies heavily on 4035cd5, that reshaped the code creating and restoring full-page writes to be aware of the compression type, making this integration straight-forward. This patch borrows some early work from Andrey Borodin, though the patch got a complete rewrite. Author: Justin Pryzby Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20220222231948.GJ9008@telsasoft.com

* Clean up assorted failures under clang's -fsanitize=undefined checks.Tom Lane2022-03-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Most of these are cases where we could call memcpy() or other libc functions with a NULL pointer and a zero count, which is forbidden by POSIX even though every production version of libc allows it. We've fixed such things before in a piecemeal way, but apparently never made an effort to try to get them all. I don't claim that this patch does so either, but it gets every failure I observe in check-world, using clang 12.0.1 on current RHEL8. numeric.c has a different issue that the sanitizer doesn't like: "ln(-1.0)" will compute log10(0) and then try to assign the resulting -Inf to an integer variable. We don't actually use the result in such a case, so there's no live bug. Back-patch to all supported branches, with the idea that we might start running a buildfarm member that tests this case. This includes back-patching c1132aae3 (Check the size in COPY_POINTER_FIELD), which previously silenced some of these issues in copyfuncs.c.

This commit fixes the catalog definition of pg_stop_backup_v2() so as it is not marked as proretset anymore, with prorows set to 0.

* vacuumlazy.c: Remove obsolete num_tuples field.Peter Geoghegan2022-02-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 49c9d9fc unified VACUUM VERBOSE and autovacuum logging. It neglected to remove an old vacrel field that was only used by the old VACUUM VERBOSE, so remove it now. The previous num_tuples approach doesn't seem to have any real advantage over the approach VACUUM VERBOSE takes now (also the approach used by the autovacuum logging code), which is to show new_rel_tuples. new_rel_tuples is the possibly-estimated total number of tuples left in the table, whereas num_tuples meant the number of tuples encountered during the VACUUM operation, after pruning, without regard for tuples from pages skipped via the visibility map. In passing, reorder a related vacrel field for consistency.

* Add VACUUM instrumentation for scanned pages, relfrozenxid.Peter Geoghegan2022-02-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Report on scanned pages within VACUUM VERBOSE and autovacuum logging. These are pages that were physically examined during the VACUUM operation. Note that this can include a small number of pages that were marked all-visible in the visibility map by some earlier VACUUM operation. VACUUM won't skip all-visible pages that aren't part of a range of all-visible pages that's at least 32 blocks in length (partly to avoid missing out on opportunities to advance relfrozenxid during non-aggressive VACUUMs). Commit 44fa8488 simplified the definition of scanned pages. It became the complement of the pages (of those pages from rel_pages) that were skipped using the visibility map. And so scanned pages precisely indicates how effective the visibility map was at saving work. (Before now we displayed the number of pages skipped via the visibility map when happened to be frozen pages, but not when they were merely all-visible, which was less useful to users.) Rename the user-visible OldestXmin output field to "removal cutoff", and show some supplementary information: how far behind the cutoff is (number of XIDs behind) by the time the VACUUM operation finished. This will help users to figure out what's _not_ working in extreme cases where VACUUM is fundamentally unable to remove dead tuples or freeze older tuples (e.g., due to a leaked replication slot). Also report when relfrozenxid is advanced by VACUUM in output that immediately follows "removal cutoff". This structure is intended to highlight the relationship between the new relfrozenxid value for the table, and the VACUUM operation's removal cutoff. Finally, add instrumentation of "missed dead tuples", and the number of pages that had at least one such tuple. These are fully DEAD (not just RECENTLY_DEAD) tuples with storage that could not be pruned due to failure to acquire a cleanup lock on a heap page. This is a replacement for the "skipped due to pin" instrumentation removed by commit 44fa8488. It shows more details than before for pages where failing to get a cleanup lock actually resulted in VACUUM missing out on useful work, but usually shows nothing at all instead (the mere fact that we couldn't get a cleanup lock is usually of no consequence whatsoever now).

* Simplify lazy_scan_heap's handling of scanned pages.Peter Geoghegan2022-02-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Redefine a scanned page as any heap page that actually gets pinned by VACUUM's first pass over the heap, regardless of whether or not the page was cleanup locked. Although it's fundamentally impossible to prune a heap page without a cleanup lock (since we cannot safely defragment the page), we can do just about everything else. The only notable further exception is freezing tuples, though even that is arguably a consequence of not being able to prune (not a separate issue). VACUUM now does as much of the same processing as possible for pages that could not be cleanup locked. Any failure to do specific required processing is treated as a special case exception, which will be rare in practice. We now collect any preexisting LP_DEAD items (left behind by earlier opportunistic pruning) in the dead_items array for these heap pages, and count their tuples in the usual way. Steps used to decide if we'll attempt relation truncation are performed in the usual way for no-cleanup-lock scanned pages, too. Although eliminating these special cases is intrinsically useful, it's even more useful as an enabler of further simplifications. The only essential difference between aggressive and non-aggressive is that only aggressive is _guaranteed_ to be able to advance relfrozenxid up to FreezeLimit. Advancing relfrozenxid is always useful, but before now non-aggressive VACUUMs threw away the opportunity to do so whenever a cleanup lock could not be acquired on any page, no matter what the details were. This was very pessimistic. It isn't actually necessary to "behave aggressively" to maintain the ability to advance relfrozenxid when a cleanup lock isn't immediately available (most of the time). The non-aggressive case will now make sure that it isn't safe to advance relfrozenxid (without waiting) using only a share lock. It will usually notice that there are no tuples that need to be frozen anyway, just like in the aggressive case -- and so it no longer wastes an opportunity to advance relfrozenxid over nothing. (The non-aggressive case still won't wait for a cleanup lock when there really are tuples on the page that need to be frozen, since that really would amount to "behaving aggressively".) VACUUM currently has a tendency to set heap pages to all-visible in the visibility map before it freezes all of the tuples on the page. Only a subsequent aggressive VACUUM will visit these pages to freeze their tuples, usually only when the tuple XIDs are much older than the vacuum_freeze_min_age GUC (FreezeLimit cutoff) is supposed to allow. And so non-aggressive VACUUMs are still far less likely to be able to advance relfrozenxid in practice, even with the enhancements from this commit. This remaining issue will be addressed by future work that overhauls the criteria for freezing tuples. Once that's in place, almost every VACUUM operation will be able to advance relfrozenxid in practice.

* Remove MaxBackends variable in favor of GetMaxBackends() function.Robert Haas2022-02-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, it was really easy to write code that accessed MaxBackends before we'd actually initialized it, especially when coding up an extension. To make this less error-prune, introduce a new function GetMaxBackends() which should be used to obtain the correct value. This will ERROR if called too early.

* Reduce non-leaf keys overlap in GiST indexes produced by a sorted buildAlexander Korotkov2022-02-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The GiST sorted build currently chooses split points according to the only page space utilization. That may lead to higher non-leaf keys overlap and, in turn, slower search query answers. This commit makes the sorted build use the opclass's picksplit method. Once four pages at the level are accumulated, the picksplit method is applied until each split partition fits the page. Some of our split algorithms could show significant performance degradation while processing 4-times more data at once. But those opclasses haven't received the sorted build support and shouldn't receive it before their split algorithms are improved.

* Allow archiving via loadable modules.Robert Haas2022-02-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Running a shell command for each file to be archived has a lot of overhead and may not offer as much error checking as you want, or the exact semantics that you want. So, offer the option to call a loadable module for each file to be archived, rather than running a shell command. Also, add a 'basic_archive' contrib module as an example implementation that archives to a local directory. Nathan Bossart, with a little bit of kibitzing by me.

* Add UNIQUE null treatment optionPeter Eisentraut2022-02-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The SQL standard has been ambiguous about whether null values in unique constraints should be considered equal or not. Different implementations have different behaviors. In the SQL:202x draft, this has been formalized by making this implementation-defined and adding an option on unique constraint definitions UNIQUE [ NULLS [NOT] DISTINCT ] to choose a behavior explicitly. This patch adds this option to PostgreSQL. The default behavior remains UNIQUE NULLS DISTINCT. Making this happen in the btree code is pretty easy; most of the patch is just to carry the flag around to all the places that need it. The CREATE UNIQUE INDEX syntax extension is not from the standard, it's my own invention. I named all the internal flags, catalog columns, etc. in the negative ("nulls not distinct") so that the default PostgreSQL behavior is the default if the flag is false.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The logic in charge of writing commit timestamps (enabled with track_commit_timestamp) for subtransactions had a one-bug bug, where it would be possible that commit timestamps go missing for the last subtransaction committed.

* Call pg_newlocale_from_collation() also with default collationPeter Eisentraut2022-01-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, callers of pg_newlocale_from_collation() did not call it if the collation was DEFAULT_COLLATION_OID and instead proceeded with a pg_locale_t of 0. Instead, now we call it anyway and have it return 0 if the default collation was passed. It already did this, so we just have to adjust the callers. This simplifies all the call sites and also makes future enhancements easier. After discussion and testing, the previous comment in pg_locale.c about avoiding this for performance reasons may have been mistaken since it was testing a very different patch version way back when.
