Remove (char *) casts around memory functions such as memcmp(),
memcpy(), or memset() where the cast is useless. Since these
functions don't take char * arguments anyway, these casts are at best
complicated casts to (void *), about which see commit 7f798aca1d5.

Trying to clean up the code a bit while we're working on these files
for the reentrant scanner/pure parser patches. This cleanup only
touches the code sections after the second '%%' in each file, via a

Use the flex %option reentrant and the bison option %pure-parser to
make the generated scanner and parser pure, reentrant, and
thread-safe.
Make the generated scanner use palloc() etc. instead of malloc() etc.
For the bootstrap scanner and parser, reentrancy and memory management
aren't that important, but we make this change here anyway so that all
the scanners and parsers in the backend use a similar set of options
and APIs.

Formerly we skipped this in bootstrap/check mode and in single-user
mode. That's bad in check mode because it may allow accepting a
value of max_connections that doesn't actually work: on platforms
where semaphores consume file descriptors, there may not be enough
free FDs left over to satisfy fd.c, causing postmaster start to
fail. It's also not great in single-user mode, because fd.c will
operate with just the minimum allowable value of max_safe_fds,
resulting in excess file open/close overhead if anything moderately
complicated is done in single-user mode. (There may be some penalty
for bootstrap mode too, though probably not much.)

Before this patch, misplacing a special must-be-first option for
dispatching to a subprogram (e.g., postgres -D . --single) would
fail with an error like
FATAL: --single requires a value
This patch adjusts this error to more accurately complain that the
special option wasn't listed first. The aforementioned error
message now looks like
FATAL: --single must be first argument
The dispatch option parsing code has been refactored for use
wherever ParseLongOption() is called. Beyond the obvious advantage
of avoiding code duplication, this should prevent similar problems
when new dispatch options are added. Note that we assume that none
of the dispatch option names match another valid command-line
argument, such as the name of a configuration parameter.
Ideally, we'd remove this must-be-first requirement for these
options, but after some investigation, we decided that wasn't worth
the added complexity and behavior changes.

Previously, only backends, autovacuum workers, and background workers
had an entry in the PMChildFlags array. With this commit, all
postmaster child processes, including all the aux processes, have an
entry. Dead-end backends still don't get an entry, though, and other
processes that don't touch shared memory will never mark their
PMChildFlags entry as active.
We now maintain separate freelists for different kinds of child
processes. That ensures that there are always slots available for
autovacuum and background workers. Previously, pre-authentication
backends could prevent autovacuum or background workers from starting
up, by using up all the slots.
The code to manage the slots in the postmaster process is in a new
pmchild.c source file. Because postmaster.c is just so large.
Assigning pmsignal slot numbers is now pmchild.c's responsibility.
This replaces the PMChildInUse array in pmsignal.c.
Some of the comments in postmaster.c still talked about the "stats
process", but that was removed in commit 5891c7a8ed. Fix those while
we're at it.

Replace the fixed-size array of fast-path locks with arrays, sized on
startup based on max_locks_per_transaction. This allows using fast-path
locking for workloads that need more locks.
The fast-path locking introduced in 9.2 allowed each backend to acquire
a small number (16) of weak relation locks cheaply. If a backend needs
to hold more locks, it has to insert them into the shared lock table.
This is considerably more expensive, and may be subject to contention
(especially on many-core systems).
The limit of 16 fast-path locks was always rather low, because we have
to lock all relations - not just tables, but also indexes, views, etc.
For planning we need to lock all relations that might be used in the
plan, not just those that actually get used in the final plan. So even
with rather simple queries and schemas, we often need significantly more
than 16 locks.
As partitioning gets used more widely, and the number of partitions
increases, this limit is trivial to hit. Complex queries may easily use
hundreds or even thousands of locks. For workloads doing a lot of I/O
this is not noticeable, but for workloads accessing only data in RAM,
the access to the shared lock table may be a serious issue.
This commit removes the hard-coded limit of the number of fast-path
locks. Instead, the size of the fast-path arrays is calculated at
startup, and can be set much higher than the original 16-lock limit.
The overall fast-path locking protocol remains unchanged.
The variable-sized fast-path arrays can no longer be part of PGPROC, but
are allocated as a separate chunk of shared memory and then references
from the PGPROC entries.
The fast-path slots are organized as a 16-way set associative cache. You
can imagine it as a hash table of 16-slot "groups". Each relation is
mapped to exactly one group using hash(relid), and the group is then
processed using linear search, just like the original fast-path cache.
With only 16 entries this is cheap, with good locality.
Treating this as a simple hash table with open addressing would not be
efficient, especially once the hash table gets almost full. The usual
remedy is to grow the table, but we can't do that here easily. The
access would also be more random, with worse locality.
The fast-path arrays are sized using the max_locks_per_transaction GUC.
We try to have enough capacity for the number of locks specified in the
GUC, using the traditional 2^n formula, with an upper limit of 1024 lock
groups (i.e. 16k locks). The default value of max_locks_per_transaction
is 64, which means those instances will have 64 fast-path slots.
The main purpose of the max_locks_per_transaction GUC is to size the
shared lock table. It is often set to the "average" number of locks
needed by backends, with some backends using significantly more locks.
This should not be a major issue, however. Some backens may have to
insert locks into the shared lock table, but there can't be too many of
them, limiting the contention.
The only solution is to increase the GUC, even if the shared lock table
already has sufficient capacity. That is not free, especially in terms
of memory usage (the shared lock table entries are fairly large). It
should only happen on machines with plenty of memory, though.
In the future we may consider a separate GUC for the number of fast-path
slots, but let's try without one first.

Before Bison 3.4, the generated parser implementation files run afoul
of -Wmissing-variable-declarations (in spite of commit ab61c40bfa2)
because declarations for yylval and possibly yylloc are missing. The
generated header files contain an extern declaration, but the
implementation files don't include the header files. Since Bison 3.4,
the generated implementation files automatically include the generated
header files, so then it works.
To make this work with older Bison versions as well, include the
generated header file from the .y file.
(With older Bison versions, the generated implementation file contains
effectively a copy of the header file pasted in, so including the
header file is redundant. But we know this works anyway because the
core grammar uses this arrangement already.)

This adds extern declarations for some global variables produced by
Bison that are not already declared in its generated header file.
This is a workaround to be able to add -Wmissing-variable-declarations
to the global set of warning options in the near future.
Another longer-term solution would be to convert these grammars to
"pure" parsers in Bison, to avoid global variables altogether. Note
that the core grammar is already pure, so this patch did not need to
touch it.

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.

This changes the pg_attribute field attstattarget into a nullable
field in the variable-length part of the row. If no value is set by
the user for attstattarget, it is now null instead of previously -1.
This saves space in pg_attribute and tuple descriptors for most
practical scenarios. (ATTRIBUTE_FIXED_PART_SIZE is reduced from 108
to 104.) Also, null is the semantically more correct value.
The ANALYZE code internally continues to represent the default
statistics target by -1, so that that code can avoid having to deal
with null values. But that is now contained to the ANALYZE code.
Only the DDL code deals with attstattarget possibly null.
For system columns, the field is now always null. The ANALYZE code
skips system columns anyway.
To set a column's statistics target to the default value, the new
command form ALTER TABLE ... SET STATISTICS DEFAULT can be used. (SET
STATISTICS -1 still works.)

A PostgreSQL release tarball contains a number of prebuilt files, in
particular files produced by bison, flex, perl, and well as html and
man documentation. We have done this consistent with established
practice at the time to not require these tools for building from a
tarball. Some of these tools were hard to get, or get the right
version of, from time to time, and shipping the prebuilt output was a
convenience to users.
Now this has at least two problems:
One, we have to make the build system(s) work in two modes: Building
from a git checkout and building from a tarball. This is pretty
complicated, but it works so far for autoconf/make. It does not
currently work for meson; you can currently only build with meson from
a git checkout. Making meson builds work from a tarball seems very
difficult or impossible. One particular problem is that since meson
requires a separate build directory, we cannot make the build update
files like gram.h in the source tree. So if you were to build from a
tarball and update gram.y, you will have a gram.h in the source tree
and one in the build tree, but the way things work is that the
compiler will always use the one in the source tree. So you cannot,
for example, make any gram.y changes when building from a tarball.
This seems impossible to fix in a non-horrible way.
Second, there is increased interest nowadays in precisely tracking the
origin of software. We can reasonably track contributions into the
git tree, and users can reasonably track the path from a tarball to
packages and downloads and installs. But what happens between the git
tree and the tarball is obscure and in some cases non-reproducible.
The solution for both of these issues is to get rid of the step that
adds prebuilt files to the tarball. The tarball now only contains
what is in the git tree (*). Getting the additional build
dependencies is no longer a problem nowadays, and the complications to
keep these dual build modes working are significant. And of course we
want to get the meson build system working universally.
This commit removes the make distprep target altogether. The make
dist target continues to do its job, it just doesn't call distprep
anymore.
(*) - The tarball also contains the INSTALL file that is built at make
dist time, but not by distprep. This is unchanged for now.
The make maintainer-clean target, whose job it is to remove the
prebuilt files in addition to what make distclean does, is now just an
alias to make distprep. (In practice, it is probably obsolete given
that git clean is available.)
The following programs are now hard build requirements in configure
(they were already required by meson.build):
- bison
- flex
- perl

The "partitions_total" and "partitions_done" fields were updated
as though the current level of partitioning was the only one.
In multi-level cases, not only could partitions_total change
over the course of the command, but partitions_done could go
backwards or exceed the currently-reported partitions_total.
Fix by setting partitions_total to the total number of direct
and indirect children once at command start, and then just
incrementing partitions_done at appropriate points. Invent
a new progress monitoring function "pgstat_progress_incr_param"
to simplify doing the latter. We can avoid adding cost for the
former when doing CREATE INDEX, because ProcessUtility already
enumerates the children and it's pretty easy to pass the count
down to DefineIndex. In principle the same could be done in
ALTER TABLE, but that's structurally difficult; for now, just
eat the cost of an extra find_all_inheritors scan in that case.

The only real argument for using malloc directly was that we needed
the ability to not throw error on OOM; but mcxt.c grew that feature
awhile ago.
Keeping the data in a memory context improves accountability and
debuggability --- for example, without this it's almost impossible
to detect memory leaks in the GUC code with anything less costly
than valgrind. Moreover, the next patch in this series will add a
hash table for GUC lookup, and it'd be pretty silly to be using
palloc-dependent hash facilities alongside malloc'd storage of the
underlying data.
This is a bit invasive though, in particular causing an API break
for GUC check hooks that want to modify the GUC's value or use an
"extra" data structure. They must now use guc_malloc() and
guc_free() instead of malloc() and free(). Failure to change
affected code will result in assertion failures or worse; but
thanks to recent effort in the mcxt infrastructure, it shouldn't
be too hard to diagnose such oversights (at least in assert-enabled
builds).
One note is that this changes ParseLongOption() to return short-lived
palloc'd not malloc'd data. There wasn't any caller for which the
previous definition was better.

Autoconf is showing its age, fewer and fewer contributors know how to wrangle
it. Recursive make has a lot of hard to resolve dependency issues and slow
incremental rebuilds. Our home-grown MSVC build system is hard to maintain for
developers not using Windows and runs tests serially. While these and other
issues could individually be addressed with incremental improvements, together
they seem best addressed by moving to a more modern build system.
After evaluating different build system choices, we chose to use meson, to a
good degree based on the adoption by other open source projects.
We decided that it's more realistic to commit a relatively early version of
the new build system and mature it in tree.
This commit adds an initial version of a meson based build system. It supports
building postgres on at least AIX, FreeBSD, Linux, macOS, NetBSD, OpenBSD,
Solaris and Windows (however only gcc is supported on aix, solaris). For
Windows/MSVC postgres can now be built with ninja (faster, particularly for
incremental builds) and msbuild (supporting the visual studio GUI, but
building slower).
Several aspects (e.g. Windows rc file generation, PGXS compatibility, LLVM
bitcode generation, documentation adjustments) are done in subsequent commits
requiring further review. Other aspects (e.g. not installing test-only
extensions) are not yet addressed.
When building on Windows with msbuild, builds are slower when using a visual
studio version older than 2019, because those versions do not support
MultiToolTask, required by meson for intra-target parallelism.
The plan is to remove the MSVC specific build system in src/tools/msvc soon
after reaching feature parity. However, we're not planning to remove the
autoconf/make build system in the near future. Likely we're going to keep at
least the parts required for PGXS to keep working around until all supported
versions build with meson.

Since the retirement of some older buildfarm members, the oldest Bison
that gets regular testing is 2.3. MacOS ships that version, and will
continue doing so for the forseeable future because of Apple's policy
regarding GPLv3. While Mac users could use a package manager to install
a newer version, there is no compelling reason to force them do so at
this time.

The proposed Meson build system will need a way to ignore certain
generated files in order to coexist with the autoconf build system,
and C files generated by Flex which are #include'd into .y files make
this more difficult. In similar vein to 72b1e3a21, arrange for all Flex
C files to compile to their own .o targets.

Previously we did this after InitPostgres, at a somewhat randomly chosen
place within PostgresMain. However, since commit a0ffa885e doing this
outside a transaction can cause a crash, if we need to check permissions
while replacing a placeholder GUC. (Besides which, a preloaded library
could itself want to do database access within _PG_init.)
To avoid needing an additional transaction start/end in every session,
move the process_session_preload_libraries call to within InitPostgres's
transaction. That requires teaching the code not to call it when
InitPostgres is called from somewhere other than PostgresMain, since
we don't want session_preload_libraries to affect background workers.
The most future-proof solution here seems to be to add an additional
flag parameter to InitPostgres; fortunately, we're not yet very worried
about API stability for v15.
Doing this also exposed the fact that we're currently honoring
session_preload_libraries in walsenders, even those not connected to
any database. This seems, at minimum, a POLA violation: walsenders
are not interactive sessions. Let's stop doing that.
(All these comments also apply to local_preload_libraries, of course.)
Per report from Gurjeet Singh (thanks also to Nathan Bossart and Kyotaro
Horiguchi for review). Backpatch to v15 where a0ffa885e came in.

We have been using the term RelFileNode to refer to either (1) the
integer that is used to name the sequence of files for a certain relation
within the directory set aside for that tablespace/database combination;
or (2) that value plus the OIDs of the tablespace and database; or
occasionally (3) the whole series of files created for a relation
based on those values. Using the same name for more than one thing is
confusing.
Replace RelFileNode with RelFileNumber when we're talking about just the
single number, i.e. (1) from above, and with RelFileLocator when we're
talking about all the things that are needed to locate a relation's files
on disk, i.e. (2) from above. In the places where we refer to (3) as
a relfilenode, instead refer to "relation storage".
Since there is a ton of SQL code in the world that knows about
pg_class.relfilenode, don't change the name of that column, or of other
SQL-facing things that derive their name from it.
On the other hand, do adjust closely-related internal terminology. For
example, the structure member names dbNode and spcNode appear to be
derived from the fact that the structure itself was called RelFileNode,
so change those to dbOid and spcOid. Likewise, various variables with
names like rnode and relnode get renamed appropriately, according to
how they're being used in context.
Hopefully, this is clearer than before. It is also preparation for
future patches that intend to widen the relfilenumber fields from its
current width of 32 bits. Variables that store a relfilenumber are now
declared as type RelFileNumber rather than type Oid; right now, these
are the same, but that can now more easily be changed.

Per applicable standards, free() with a null pointer is a no-op.
Systems that don't observe that are ancient and no longer relevant.
Some PostgreSQL code already required this behavior, so this change
does not introduce any new requirements, just makes the code more
consistent.

The original advice for hard-wired SetConfigOption calls was to use
PGC_S_OVERRIDE, particularly for PGC_INTERNAL GUCs. However,
that's really overkill for PGC_INTERNAL GUCs, since there is no
possibility that we need to override a user-provided setting.
Instead use PGC_S_DYNAMIC_DEFAULT in most places, so that the
value will appear with source = 'default' in pg_settings and thereby
not be shown by psql's new \dconfig command. The one exception is
that when changing in_hot_standby in a hot-standby session, we still
use PGC_S_OVERRIDE, because people felt that seeing that in \dconfig
would be a good thing.
Similarly use PGC_S_DYNAMIC_DEFAULT for the auto-tune value of
wal_buffers (if possible, that is if wal_buffers wasn't explicitly
set to -1), and for the typical 2MB value of max_stack_depth.
In combination these changes remove four not-very-interesting
entries from the typical output of \dconfig, all of which people
fingered as "why is that showing up?" in the discussion thread.

Currently, database OIDs, relfilenodes, and tablespace OIDs can all
change when a cluster is upgraded using pg_upgrade. It seems better
to preserve them, because (1) it makes troubleshooting pg_upgrade
easier, since you don't have to do a lot of work to match up files
in the old and new clusters, (2) it allows 'rsync' to save bandwidth
when used to re-sync a cluster after an upgrade, and (3) if we ever
encrypt or sign blocks, we would likely want to use a nonce that
depends on these values.
This patch only arranges to preserve relfilenodes and tablespace
OIDs. The task of preserving database OIDs is left for another patch,
since it involves some complexities that don't exist in these cases.
Database OIDs have a similar issue, but there are some tricky points
in that case that do not apply to these cases, so that problem is left
for another patch.
Shruthi KC, based on an earlier patch from Antonin Houska, reviewed
and with some adjustments by me.

For EXEC_BACKEND InitProcess()/InitAuxiliaryProcess() needs to have been
called well before we call BaseInit(), as SubPostmasterMain() needs LWLocks to
work. Having the order of initialization differ between platforms makes it
unnecessarily hard to understand the system and to add initialization points
for new subsystems without a lot of duplication.
To be able to change the order, BaseInit() cannot trigger
CreateSharedMemoryAndSemaphores() anymore - obviously that needs to have
happened before we can call InitProcess(). It seems cleaner to create shared
memory explicitly in single user/bootstrap mode anyway.
After this change the separation of bufmgr initialization into
InitBufferPoolAccess() / InitBufferPoolBackend() is not meaningful anymore so
the latter is removed.

Neither is actually initialized as an auxiliary process, so it does not really
make sense to reserve a PGPROC etc for them.
This keeps checker mode implemented by exiting partway through bootstrap
mode. That might be worth changing at some point, perhaps if we ever extend
checker mode to be a more general tool.

There practically was no shared code between the two, once all the ifs are
removed. And it was quite confusing that aux processes weren't actually
started by the call to AuxiliaryProcessMain() in main().
There's more to do, AuxiliaryProcessMain() should move out of bootstrap.c, and
BootstrapModeMain() shouldn't use/be part of AuxProcType.

Redefine '\0' (InvalidCompressionMethod) as meaning "if we need to
compress, use the current setting of default_toast_compression".
This allows '\0' to be a suitable default choice regardless of
datatype, greatly simplifying code paths that initialize tupledescs
and the like. It seems like a more user-friendly approach as well,
because now the default compression choice doesn't migrate into table
definitions, meaning that changing default_toast_compression is
usually sufficient to flip an installation's behavior; one needn't
tediously issue per-column ALTER SET COMPRESSION commands.
Along the way, fix a few minor bugs and documentation issues
with the per-column-compression feature. Adopt more robust
APIs for SetIndexStorageProperties and GetAttributeCompression.
Bump catversion because typical contents of attcompression will now
be different. We could get away without doing that, but it seems
better to ensure v14 installations all agree on this. (We already
forced initdb for beta2, anyway.)

Now that attcompression is just a char, there's a lot of wasted
padding space after it. Move it into the group of char-wide
columns to save a net of 4 bytes per pg_attribute entry. While
we're at it, swap the order of attstorage and attalign to make for
a more logical grouping of these columns.
Also re-order actions in related code to match the new field ordering.
This patch also fixes one outright bug: equalTupleDescs() failed to
compare attcompression. That could, for example, cause relcache
reload to fail to adopt a new value following a change.

Backend status (supporting pg_stat_activity) and command
progress (supporting pg_stat_progress*) related code is largely
independent from the rest of pgstat.[ch] (supporting views like
pg_stat_all_tables that accumulate data over time). See also
a333476b925.
This commit doesn't rename the function names to make the distinction
from the rest of pgstat_ clearer - that'd be more invasive and not
clearly beneficial. If we were to decide to do such a rename at some
point, it's better done separately from moving the code as well.
Robert's review was of an earlier version.

There is now a per-column COMPRESSION option which can be set to pglz
(the default, and the only option in up until now) or lz4. Or, if you
like, you can set the new default_toast_compression GUC to lz4, and
then that will be the default for new table columns for which no value
is specified. We don't have lz4 support in the PostgreSQL code, so
to use lz4 compression, PostgreSQL must be built --with-lz4.
In general, TOAST compression means compression of individual column
values, not the whole tuple, and those values can either be compressed
inline within the tuple or compressed and then stored externally in
the TOAST table, so those properties also apply to this feature.
Prior to this commit, a TOAST pointer has two unused bits as part of
the va_extsize field, and a compessed datum has two unused bits as
part of the va_rawsize field. These bits are unused because the length
of a varlena is limited to 1GB; we now use them to indicate the
compression type that was used. This means we only have bit space for
2 more built-in compresison types, but we could work around that
problem, if necessary, by introducing a new vartag_external value for
any further types we end up wanting to add. Hopefully, it won't be
too important to offer a wide selection of algorithms here, since
each one we add not only takes more coding but also adds a build
dependency for every packager. Nevertheless, it seems worth doing
at least this much, because LZ4 gets better compression than PGLZ
with less CPU usage.
It's possible for LZ4-compressed datums to leak into composite type
values stored on disk, just as it is for PGLZ. It's also possible for
LZ4-compressed attributes to be copied into a different table via SQL
commands such as CREATE TABLE AS or INSERT .. SELECT. It would be
expensive to force such values to be decompressed, so PostgreSQL has
never done so. For the same reasons, we also don't force recompression
of already-compressed values even if the target table prefers a
different compression method than was used for the source data. These
architectural decisions are perhaps arguable but revisiting them is
well beyond the scope of what seemed possible to do as part of this
project. However, it's relatively cheap to recompress as part of
VACUUM FULL or CLUSTER, so this commit adjusts those commands to do
so, if the configured compression method of the table happens not to
match what was used for some column value stored therein.
Dilip Kumar. The original patches on which this work was based were
written by Ildus Kurbangaliev, and those were patches were based on
even earlier work by Nikita Glukhov, but the design has since changed
very substantially, since allow a potentially large number of
compression methods that could be added and dropped on a running
system proved too problematic given some of the architectural issues
mentioned above; the choice of which specific compression method to
add first is now different; and a lot of the code has been heavily
refactored. More recently, Justin Przyby helped quite a bit with
testing and reviewing and this version also includes some code
contributions from him. Other design input and review from Tomas
Vondra, Álvaro Herrera, Andres Freund, Oleg Bartunov, Alexander
Korotkov, and me.
