* pgstat: stats collector references in comments.Andres Freund2022-04-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Soon the stats collector will be no more, with statistics instead getting stored in shared memory. There are a lot of references to the stats collector in comments. This commit replaces most of these references with "cumulative statistics system", with the remaining ones getting replaced as part of subsequent commits. This is done separately from the - quite large - shared memory statistics patch to make review easier.

* Remove exclusive backup modeStephen Frost2022-04-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Exclusive-mode backups have been deprecated since 9.6 (when non-exclusive backups were introduced) due to the issues they can cause should the system crash while one is running and generally because non-exclusive provides a much better interface. Further, exclusive backup mode wasn't really being tested (nor was most of the related code- like being able to log in just to stop an exclusive backup and the bits of the state machine related to that) and having to possibly deal with an exclusive backup and the backup_label file existing during pg_basebackup, pg_rewind, etc, added other complexities that we are better off without. This patch removes the exclusive backup mode, the various special cases for dealing with it, and greatly simplifies the online backup code and documentation.

* Adjust tuplesort API to have bitwise option flagsDavid Rowley2022-04-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This replaces the bool flag for randomAccess. An upcoming patch requires adding another option, so instead of breaking the API for that, then breaking it again one day if we add more options, let's just break it once. Any boolean options we add in the future will just make use of an unused bit in the flags. Any extensions making use of tuplesorts will need to update their code to pass TUPLESORT_RANDOMACCESS instead of true for randomAccess. TUPLESORT_NONE can be used for a set of empty options.

* Improve the generation memory allocatorDavid Rowley2022-04-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Here we make a series of improvements to the generation memory allocator, namely: 1. Allow generation contexts to have a minimum, initial and maximum block sizes. The standard allocator allows this already but when the generation context was added, it only allowed fixed-sized blocks. The problem with fixed-sized blocks is that it's difficult to choose how large to make the blocks. If the chosen size is too small then we'd end up with a large number of blocks and a large number of malloc calls. If the block size is made too large, then memory is wasted. 2. Add support for "keeper" blocks. This is a special block that is allocated along with the context itself but is never freed. Instead, when the last chunk in the keeper block is freed, we simply mark the block as empty to allow new allocations to make use of it. 3. Add facility to "recycle" newly empty blocks instead of freeing them and having to later malloc an entire new block again. We do this by recording a single GenerationBlock which has become empty of any chunks. When we run out of space in the current block, we check to see if there is a "freeblock" and use that if it contains enough space for the allocation.

* Generalize how VACUUM skips all-frozen pages.Peter Geoghegan2022-04-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Non-aggressive VACUUMs were at a gratuitous disadvantage (relative to aggressive VACUUMs) around advancing relfrozenxid and relminmxid before now. The issue only came up when concurrent activity unset some heap page's visibility map bit right as VACUUM was considering if the page should get counted in frozenskipped_pages. The non-aggressive case would recheck the all-frozen bit at this point. The aggressive case reasoned that the page (a skippable page) must have at least been all-frozen in the recent past, so skipping it won't make relfrozenxid advancement unsafe (which is never okay for aggressive VACUUMs). The recheck created a window for some other backend to confuse matters for VACUUM. If the page's VM bit turned out to be unset, VACUUM would conclude that the page was _never_ all-frozen. frozenskipped_pages was not incremented, and yet VACUUM couldn't back out of skipping at this late stage (it couldn't choose to scan the page instead). This made it unsafe to advance relfrozenxid later on. Consistently avoid the issue by generalizing how we skip frozen pages during aggressive VACUUMs: take the same approach when skipping any skippable page range during aggressive and non-aggressive VACUUMs alike. The new approach makes ranges (not individual pages) the fundamental unit of skipping using the visibility map. frozenskipped_pages is replaced with a boolean flag that represents whether some skippable range with one or more all-visible pages was actually skipped. It is safe for VACUUM to treat a page as all-frozen provided it at least had its all-frozen bit set after the OldestXmin cutoff was established. VACUUM is only required to scan pages that might have XIDs < OldestXmin (unfrozen XIDs) to be able to safely advance relfrozenxid. Tuples concurrently inserted on "skipped" pages can be thought of as equivalent to tuples concurrently inserted on a block >= rel_pages. It's possible that the issue this commit fixes hardly ever came up in practice. But we only had to be unlucky once to lose out on advancing relfrozenxid -- a single affected heap page was enough to throw VACUUM off. That seems like something to avoid on general principle. This is similar to an issue fixed by commit 44fa8488, which taught vacuumlazy.c to not give up on non-aggressive relfrozenxid advancement just because a cleanup lock wasn't immediately available on some heap page. Skipping an all-visible range is now explicitly structured as a choice made by non-aggressive VACUUMs, by weighing known costs (scanning extra skippable pages to freeze their tuples early) against known benefits (advancing relfrozenxid early). This works in essentially the same way as it always has (don't skip ranges < SKIP_PAGES_THRESHOLD). We could do much better here in the future by considering other relevant factors.

* Set relfrozenxid to oldest extant XID seen by VACUUM.Peter Geoghegan2022-04-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When VACUUM set relfrozenxid before now, it set it to whatever value was used to determine which tuples to freeze -- the FreezeLimit cutoff. This approach was very naive. The relfrozenxid invariant only requires that new relfrozenxid values be <= the oldest extant XID remaining in the table (at the point that the VACUUM operation ends), which in general might be much more recent than FreezeLimit. VACUUM now carefully tracks the oldest remaining XID/MultiXactId as it goes (the oldest remaining values _after_ lazy_scan_prune processing). The final values are set as the table's new relfrozenxid and new relminmxid in pg_class at the end of each VACUUM. The oldest XID might come from a tuple's xmin, xmax, or xvac fields. It might even come from one of the table's remaining MultiXacts. Final relfrozenxid values must still be >= FreezeLimit in an aggressive VACUUM (FreezeLimit still acts as a lower bound on the final value that aggressive VACUUM can set relfrozenxid to). Since standard VACUUMs still make no guarantees about advancing relfrozenxid, they might as well set relfrozenxid to a value from well before FreezeLimit when the opportunity presents itself. In general standard VACUUMs may now set relfrozenxid to any value > the original relfrozenxid and <= OldestXmin. Credit for the general idea of using the oldest extant XID to set pg_class.relfrozenxid at the end of VACUUM goes to Andres Freund.

* Specialize tuplesort routines for different kinds of abbreviated keysJohn Naylor2022-04-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, the specialized tuplesort routine inlined handling for reverse-sort and NULLs-ordering but called the datum comparator via a pointer in the SortSupport struct parameter. Testing has showed that we can get a useful performance gain by specializing datum comparison for the different representations of abbreviated keys -- signed and unsigned 64-bit integers and signed 32-bit integers. Almost all abbreviatable data types will benefit -- the only exception for now is numeric, since the datum comparison is more complex. The performance gain depends on data type and input distribution, but often falls in the range of 10-20% faster.

* Add new block-by-block strategy for CREATE DATABASE.Robert Haas2022-03-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because this strategy logs changes on a block-by-block basis, it avoids the need to checkpoint before and after the operation. However, because it logs each changed block individually, it might generate a lot of extra write-ahead logging if the template database is large. Therefore, the older strategy remains available via a new STRATEGY parameter to CREATE DATABASE, and a corresponding --strategy option to createdb. Somewhat controversially, this patch assembles the list of relations to be copied to the new database by reading the pg_class relation of the template database. Cross-database access like this isn't normally possible, but it can be made to work here because there can't be any connections to the database being copied, nor can it contain any in-doubt transactions. Even so, we have to use lower-level interfaces than normal, since the table scan and relcache interfaces will not work for a database to which we're not connected. The advantage of this approach is that we do not need to rely on the filesystem to determine what ought to be copied, but instead on PostgreSQL's own knowledge of the database structure. This avoids, for example, copying stray files that happen to be located in the source database directory. Dilip Kumar, with a fairly large number of cosmetic changes by me.

* Fix replay of create database records on standbyAlvaro Herrera2022-03-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Crash recovery on standby may encounter missing directories when replaying create database WAL records. Prior to this patch, the standby would fail to recover in such a case. However, the directories could be legitimately missing. Consider a sequence of WAL records as follows: CREATE DATABASE DROP DATABASE DROP TABLESPACE If, after replaying the last WAL record and removing the tablespace directory, the standby crashes and has to replay the create database record again, the crash recovery must be able to move on. This patch adds a mechanism similar to invalid-page tracking, to keep a tally of missing directories during crash recovery. If all the missing directory references are matched with corresponding drop records at the end of crash recovery, the standby can safely continue following the primary. Backpatch to 13, at least for now. The bug is older, but fixing it in older branches requires more careful study of the interactions with commit e6d8069522c8, which appeared in 13. A new TAP test file is added to verify the condition. However, because it depends on commit d6d317dbf615, it can only be added to branch master. I (Álvaro) manually verified that the code behaves as expected in branch 14. It's a bit nervous-making to leave the code uncovered by tests in older branches, but leaving the bug unfixed is even worse. Also, the main reason this fix took so long is precisely that we couldn't agree on a good strategy to approach testing for the bug, so perhaps this is the best we can do.

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.

* 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.

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.

* 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
* Fix header inclusion order in xloginsert.c with lz4.hMichael Paquier2022-03-11
| | | | | | | | | | Per project policy, all system and library headers need to be declared in the backend code after "postgres.h" and before the internal headers, but 4035cd5 broke this policy when adding support for LZ4 in wal_compression. Noticed while reviewing the patch to add support for zstd in this area. This only impacts HEAD, so there is no need for a back-patch.
* 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.

* Fix catalog data of pg_stop_backup(), labelled v2Michael Paquier2022-03-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This function has been incorrectly marked as a set-returning function with prorows (estimated number of rows) set to 1 since its creation in 7117685, that introduced non-exclusive backups. There is no need for that as the function is designed to return only one tuple. 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. This simplifies its internals by removing one tuplestore (used for one single record anyway) and by removing all the checks related to a set-returning function. Issue found during my quest to simplify some of the logic used in in-core system functions. Bump catalog version.

* Don't use static storage for SaveTransactionCharacteristics().Tom Lane2022-02-28
| | | | | | | | | | | This is pretty queasy-making on general principles, and the more so once you notice that CommitTransactionCommand() is actually stomping on the values saved by _SPI_commit(). It's okay as long as the active values didn't change during HoldPinnedPortals(); but that's a larger assumption than I think we want to make, especially since the fix is so simple.

* 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.
* Remove unnecessary heap_tuple_needs_freeze argument.Peter Geoghegan2022-02-24

* Fix data loss on crash after sorted GiST index build.Heikki Linnakangas2022-02-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a checkpoint happens during sorted GiST index build, and the system crashes after the checkpoint and after the index build has finished, the data written to the index before the checkpoint started could be lost. The checkpoint won't fsync it, and it won't be replayed at crash recovery either. Fix by calling smgrimmedsync() after the index build, just like in B-tree index build. Backpatch to v14 where the sorted GiST index build was introduced.

* Assert in init_toast_snapshot() that some snapshot registered or active.Andres Freund2022-02-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit <FIXME> fixed the bug that RemoveTempRelationsCallback() did not push/register a snapshot. That only went unnoticed because often a valid catalog snapshot exists and is returned by GetOldestSnapshot(). But due to invalidation processing that is not reliable. Thus assert in init_toast_snapshot() that there is a registered or active snapshot, using the new HaveRegisteredOrActiveSnapshot().

* Remove all traces of tuplestore_donestoring() in the C codeMichael Paquier2022-02-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This routine is a no-op since dd04e95 from 2003, with a macro kept around for compatibility purposes. This has led to the same code patterns being copy-pasted around for no effect, sometimes in confusing ways like in pg_logical_slot_get_changes_guts() from logical.c where the code was actually incorrect. This issue has been discussed on two different threads recently, so rather than living with this legacy, remove any uses of this routine in the C code to simplify things. The compatibility macro is kept to avoid breaking any out-of-core modules that depend on it.

* Fix bogus log message when starting from a cleanly shut down state.Heikki Linnakangas2022-02-16
| | | | | | | | | | | In commit 70e81861fa to split xlog.c, I moved the startup code that updates the state in the control file and prints out the "database system was not properly shut down" message to the log, but I accidentally removed the "if (InRecovery)" check around it. As a result, that message was printed even if the system was cleanly shut down, also during 'initdb'. Discussion: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/3357075.1645031062@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Fix read beyond buffer bug introduced by the split xlog.c patch.Heikki Linnakangas2022-02-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | FinishWalRecovery() copied the valid part of the last WAL block into a palloc'd buffer, and the code in StartupXLOG() copied it to the WAL buffer. But the memcpy in StartupXLOG() copied a full 8kB block, not just the valid part, i.e. it copied from beyond the end of the buffer. The invalid part was cleared immediately afterwards, so as long as the memory was allocated and didn't segfault, it didn't do any harm, but it can definitely segfault.

* WAL log unchanged toasted replica identity key attributes.Amit Kapila2022-02-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, during UPDATE, the unchanged replica identity key attributes are not logged separately because they are getting logged as part of the new tuple. But if they are stored externally then the untoasted values are not getting logged as part of the new tuple and logical replication won't be able to replicate such UPDATEs. So we need to log such attributes as part of the old_key_tuple during UPDATE.

* Make origin data initialization consistent other fields in 2PC headerMichael Paquier2022-02-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As of 1eb6d65, the origin data is optionally stored in a 2PC file header, with the data filled in EndPrepare() even in the default case where there is no origin data to add. This was inconsistent with all the other fields of TwoPhaseFileHeader which are initialized in StartPrepare(), so move the initialization of origin_lsn and origin_timestamp there instead. The effect of missing the initialization at this early stage is only cosmetic based on the current logic of the code, but could have led to issues in the long-term, and it is more consistent done this way.

* Silence minor compiler warnings.Tom Lane2022-02-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Depending on compiler version and optimization level, we might get a complaint that lazy_scan_heap's "freespace" is used uninitialized. Compilers not aware that ereport(ERROR) doesn't return complained about bbsink_lz4_new(). Assigning "-1" to a uint64 value has unportable results; fortunately, the value of xlogreadsegno is unimportant when xlogreadfd is -1. (It looks to me like there is no need for xlogreadsegno to be static in the first place, but I didn't venture to change that.)
