* Restore relmapper state early enough in parallel workers.Tom Lane2024-09-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We need to do RestoreRelationMap before loading catalog-derived state, else the worker may end up with catalog relcache entries containing stale relfilenode data. Move up RestoreReindexState too, on the principle that that should also happen before we do much of any catalog access. I think ideally these things would happen even before InitPostgres, but there are various problems standing in the way of that, notably that the relmapper thinks "active" mappings should be discarded at transaction end. The implication of this is that InitPostgres and RestoreLibraryState will see the same catalog state as an independent backend would see, which is probably fine; at least, it's been like that all along. Per report from Justin Pryzby. There is a case to be made that this should be back-patched. But given the lack of complaints before 6e086fa2e and the short amount of time remaining before 17.0 wraps, I'll just put it in HEAD for now.

* Extend PgStat_HashKey.objid from 4 to 8 bytesMichael Paquier2024-09-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This opens the possibility to define keys for more types of statistics kinds in PgStat_HashKey, the first case being 8-byte query IDs for statistics like pg_stat_statements. This increases the size of PgStat_HashKey from 12 to 16 bytes, while PgStatShared_HashEntry, entry stored in the dshash for pgstats, keeps the same size due to alignment. xl_xact_stats_item, that tracks the stats items to drop in commit WAL records, is increased from 12 to 16 bytes. Note that individual chunks in commit WAL records should be multiples of sizeof(int), hence 8-byte object IDs are stored as two uint32, based on a suggestion from Heikki Linnakangas. While on it, the field of PgStat_HashKey is renamed from "objoid" to "objid", as for some stats kinds this field does not refer to OIDs but just IDs, like for replication slot stats. This commit bumps the following format variables: - PGSTAT_FILE_FORMAT_ID, as PgStat_HashKey is written to the stats file for non-serialized stats kinds in the dshash table. - XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC for the changes in xl_xact_stats_item. - Catalog version, for the SQL function pg_stat_have_stats().

* Avoid parallel nbtree index scan hangs with SAOPs.Peter Geoghegan2024-09-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 5bf748b8, which enhanced nbtree ScalarArrayOp execution, made parallel index scans work with the new design for arrays via explicit scheduling of primitive index scans. A backend that successfully scheduled the scan's next primitive index scan saved its backend local array keys in shared memory. Any backend could pick up the scheduled primitive scan within _bt_first. This scheme decouples scheduling a primitive scan from starting the scan (by performing another descent of the index via a _bt_search call from _bt_first) to make things robust. The scheme had a deadlock hazard, at least when the leader process participated in the scan. _bt_parallel_seize had a code path that made backends that were not in an immediate position to start a scheduled primitive index scan wait for some other backend to do so instead. Under the right circumstances, the leader process could wait here forever: the leader would wait for any other backend to start the primitive scan, while every worker was busy waiting on the leader to consume tuples from the scan's tuple queue. To fix, don't wait for a scheduled primitive index scan to be started by some other eligible backend from within _bt_parallel_seize (when the calling backend isn't in a position to do so itself). Return false instead, while recording that the scan has a scheduled primitive index scan in backend local state. This leaves the backend in the same state as the existing case where a backend schedules (or tries to schedule) another primitive index scan from within _bt_advance_array_keys, before calling _bt_parallel_seize. _bt_parallel_seize already handles that case by returning false without waiting, and without unsetting the backend local state. Leaving the backend in this state enables it to start a previously scheduled primitive index scan once it gets back to _bt_first.

* Add temporal PRIMARY KEY and UNIQUE constraintsPeter Eisentraut2024-09-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add WITHOUT OVERLAPS clause to PRIMARY KEY and UNIQUE constraints. These are backed by GiST indexes instead of B-tree indexes, since they are essentially exclusion constraints with = for the scalar parts of the key and && for the temporal part. (previously committed as 46a0cd4cefb, reverted by 46a0cd4cefb; the new part is this:) Because 'empty' && 'empty' is false, the temporal PK/UQ constraint allowed duplicates, which is confusing to users and breaks internal expectations. For instance, when GROUP BY checks functional dependencies on the PK, it allows selecting other columns from the table, but in the presence of duplicate keys you could get the value from any of their rows. So we need to forbid empties. This all means that at the moment we can only support ranges and multiranges for temporal PK/UQs, unlike the original patch (above). Documentation and tests for this are added. But this could conceivably be extended by introducing some more general support for the notion of "empty" for other types. Author: Paul A.

* Remove hardcoded hash opclass function signature exceptionsPeter Eisentraut2024-09-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | hashvalidate(), which validates the signatures of support functions for the hash AM, contained several hardcoded exceptions. For example, hash/date_ops support function 1 was hashint4(), which would ordinarily fail validation because the function argument is int4, not date. But this works internally because int4 and date are of the same size. There are several more exceptions like this that happen to work and were allowed historically but would now fail the function signature validation. This patch removes those exceptions by providing new support functions that have the proper declared signatures. They internally share most of the code with the "wrong" functions they replace, so the behavior is still the same. With the exceptions gone, hashvalidate() is now simplified and relies fully on check_amproc_signature(). hashvarlena() and hashvarlenaextended() are kept in pg_proc.dat because some extensions currently use them to build hash functions for their own types, and we need to keep exposing these functions as "LANGUAGE internal" functions for that to continue to work.

* Don't overwrite scan key in systable_beginscan()Peter Eisentraut2024-09-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When systable_beginscan() and systable_beginscan_ordered() choose an index scan, they remap the attribute numbers in the passed-in scan keys to the attribute numbers of the index, and then write those remapped attribute numbers back into the scan key passed by the caller. This second part is surprising and gratuitous. It means that a scan key cannot safely be used more than once (but it might sometimes work, depending on circumstances). Also, there is no value in providing these remapped attribute numbers back to the caller, since they can't do anything with that. Fix that by making a copy of the scan keys passed by the caller and make the modifications there. Also, some code that had to work around the previous situation is simplified.

* Avoid unneeded nbtree backwards scan buffer locks.Peter Geoghegan2024-08-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Teach nbtree backwards scans to avoid relocking a just-read leaf page to read its current left sibling link when it isn't truly necessary. This happened inside _bt_readnextpage whenever _bt_readpage had already determined that there'll be no further matches to the left (or at least none for the current primitive index scan, for a scan with array keys). A new precheck inside _bt_readnextpage is all that we need to avoid these useless lock acquisitions. Arguably, using a precheck like this was a missed opportunity for commit 2ed5b87f96, which taught nbtree to drop leaf page pins early to avoid blocking cleanup by VACUUM. Forwards scans already managed to avoid relocking the page like this. The optimization added by this commit is particularly helpful with backwards scans that use array keys where the scan must perform multiple primitive index scans. Such backwards scans will now avoid a useless leaf page re-lock at the end of each primitive index scan. Note that this commit does not attempt to avoid needlessly re-locking a leaf page that was just read when the scan must follow the leaf page's left link. That more ambitious optimization could work by stashing the left link when the page is first read by a backwards scan, allowing the subsequent _bt_readnextpage call to optimistically skip re-reading the original page just to get a new copy of its left link. For now we only address cases where we don't care about our original page's left link.

* Turn a few 'validnsps' static variables into localsHeikki Linnakangas2024-08-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | There was no need for these to be static buffers, local variables work just as well. I think they were marked as 'static' to imply that they are read-only, but 'const' is more appropriate for that, so change them to const. To make it possible to mark the variables as 'const', also add 'const' decorations to the transformRelOptions() signature.

* Allow parallel workers to cope with a newly-created session user ID.Tom Lane2024-08-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Parallel workers failed after a sequence like BEGIN; CREATE USER foo; SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION foo; because check_session_authorization could not see the uncommitted pg_authid row for "foo". This is because we ran RestoreGUCState() in a separate transaction using an ordinary just-created snapshot. The same disease afflicts any other GUC that requires catalog lookups and isn't forgiving about the lookups failing. To fix, postpone RestoreGUCState() into the worker's main transaction after we've set up a snapshot duplicating the leader's. This affects check_transaction_isolation and check_transaction_deferrable, which think they should only run during transaction start. Make them act like check_transaction_read_only, which already knows it should silently accept the value when InitializingParallelWorker. This un-reverts commit f5f30c22e. The original plan was to back-patch that, but the fact that 0ae5b763e proved to be a pre-requisite shows that the subtle API change for GUC hooks might actually break some of them. The problem we're trying to fix seems not worth taking such a risk for in stable branches. Per bug #18545 from Andrey Rachitskiy. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/18545-feba138862f19aaa@postgresql.org
* Clean up handling of client_encoding GUC in parallel workers.Tom Lane2024-08-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The previous coding here threw an error from assign_client_encoding if it was invoked in a parallel worker. That's a very fundamental violation of the GUC hook API: assign hooks must not throw errors. The place to complain is in the check hook, so move the test to there, and use the regular check-hook API (ie return false) to report it. The reason this coding is a problem is that it breaks GUC rollback, which may occur after we leave InitializingParallelWorker state. That case seems not actually reachable before now, but commit f5f30c22e made it reachable, so we need to fix this before that can be un-reverted. In passing, improve the commentary in ParallelWorkerMain, and add a check for failure of SetClientEncoding. That's another case that can't happen now but might become possible after foreseeable code rearrangements (notably, if the shortcut of skipping PrepareClientEncoding stops being OK).

* Remove support for null pg_locale_t most places.Jeff Davis2024-08-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, passing NULL for pg_locale_t meant "use the libc provider and the server environment". Now that the database collation is represented as a proper pg_locale_t (not dependent on setlocale()), remove special cases for NULL. Leave wchar2char() and char2wchar() unchanged for now, because the callers don't always have a libc-based pg_locale_t available.

* Implement pg_wal_replay_wait() stored procedureAlexander Korotkov2024-08-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | pg_wal_replay_wait() is to be used on standby and specifies waiting for the specific WAL location to be replayed. This option is useful when the user makes some data changes on primary and needs a guarantee to see these changes are on standby. The queue of waiters is stored in the shared memory as an LSN-ordered pairing heap, where the waiter with the nearest LSN stays on the top. During the replay of WAL, waiters whose LSNs have already been replayed are deleted from the shared memory pairing heap and woken up by setting their latches. pg_wal_replay_wait() needs to wait without any snapshot held. Otherwise, the snapshot could prevent the replay of WAL records, implying a kind of self-deadlock. This is why it is only possible to implement pg_wal_replay_wait() as a procedure working without an active snapshot, not a function. Catversion is bumped.

* Revert "Allow parallel workers to cope with a newly-created session user ID."Tom Lane2024-07-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit f5f30c22ed69fb37b896c4d4546b2ab823c3fd61. Some buildfarm animals are failing with "cannot change "client_encoding" during a parallel operation". It looks like assign_client_encoding is unhappy at being asked to roll back a client_encoding setting after a parallel worker encounters a failure. There must be more to it though: why didn't I see this during local testing? In any case, it's clear that moving the RestoreGUCState() call is not as side-effect-free as I thought. Given that the bug f5f30c22e intended to fix has gone unreported for years, it's not something that's urgent to fix; I'm not willing to risk messing with it further with only days to our next release wrap.
