* JIT tuple deforming in LLVM JIT provider.Andres Freund2018-03-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Performing JIT compilation for deforming gains performance benefits over unJITed deforming from compile-time knowledge of the tuple descriptor. Fixed column widths, NOT NULLness, etc can be taken advantage of. Right now the JITed deforming is only used when deforming tuples as part of expression evaluation (and obviously only if the descriptor is known). It's likely to be beneficial in other cases, too. By default tuple deforming is JITed whenever an expression is JIT compiled. There's a separate boolean GUC controlling it, but that's expected to be primarily useful for development and benchmarking. Docs will follow in a later commit containing docs for the whole JIT feature. Author: Andres Freund Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20170901064131.tazjxwus3k2w3ybh@alap3.anarazel.de
* Allow tupleslots to have a fixed tupledesc, use in executor nodes.Andres Freund2018-02-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The reason for doing so is that it will allow expression evaluation to optimize based on the underlying tupledesc. In particular it will allow to JIT tuple deforming together with the expression itself. For that expression initialization needs to be moved after the relevant slots are initialized - mostly unproblematic, except in the case of nodeWorktablescan.c. After doing so there's no need for ExecAssignResultType() and ExecAssignResultTypeFromTL() anymore, as all former callers have been converted to create a slot with a fixed descriptor. When creating a slot with a fixed descriptor, tts_values/isnull can be allocated together with the main slot, reducing allocation overhead and increasing cache density a bit.

* Provide DSM segment to ExecXXXInitializeWorker functions.Andres Freund2017-11-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, executor nodes running in parallel worker processes didn't have access to the dsm_segment object used for parallel execution. In order to support resource management based on DSM segment lifetime, they need that. So create a ParallelWorkerContext object to hold it and pass it to all InitializeWorker functions.

* Separate reinitialization of shared parallel-scan state from ExecReScan.Tom Lane2017-08-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, the parallel executor logic did reinitialization of shared state within the ExecReScan code for parallel-aware scan nodes. This is problematic, because it means that the ExecReScan call has to occur synchronously (ie, during the parent Gather node's ReScan call). That is swimming very much against the tide so far as the ExecReScan machinery is concerned; the fact that it works at all today depends on a lot of fragile assumptions, such as that no plan node between Gather and a parallel-aware scan node is parameterized. Another objection is that because ExecReScan might be called in workers as well as the leader, hacky extra tests are needed in some places to prevent unwanted shared-state resets. Hence, let's separate this code into two functions, a ReInitializeDSM call and the ReScan call proper. ReInitializeDSM is called only in the leader and is guaranteed to run before we start new workers. ReScan is returned to its traditional function of resetting only local state, which means that ExecReScan's usual habits of delaying or eliminating child rescan calls are safe again. As with the preceding commit 7df2c1f8d, it doesn't seem to be necessary to make these changes in 9.6, which is a good thing because the FDW and CustomScan APIs are impacted.

* Move ExecProcNode from dispatch to function pointer based model.Andres Freund2017-07-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This allows us to add stack-depth checks the first time an executor node is called, and skip that overhead on following calls. Additionally it yields a nice speedup. While it'd probably have been a good idea to have that check all along, it has become more important after the new expression evaluation framework in b8d7f053c5c2bf2a7e - there's no stack depth check in common paths anymore now. We previously relied on ExecEvalExpr() being executed somewhere. We should move towards that model for further routines, but as this is required for v10, it seems better to only do the necessary (which already is quite large).

* Don't be so trusting that shm_toc_lookup() will always succeed.Tom Lane2017-06-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Given the possibility of race conditions and so on, it seems entirely unsafe to just assume that shm_toc_lookup() always finds the key it's looking for --- but that was exactly what all but one call site were doing. To fix, add a "bool noError" argument, similarly to what we have in many other functions, and throw an error on an unexpected lookup failure. Remove now-redundant Asserts that a rather random subset of call sites had. I doubt this will throw any light on buildfarm member lorikeet's recent failures, because if an unnoticed lookup failure were involved, you'd kind of expect a null-pointer-dereference crash rather than the observed symptom. But you never know ... and this is better coding practice even if it never catches anything. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/9697.1496675981@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Faster expression evaluation and targetlist projection.Andres Freund2017-03-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This replaces the old, recursive tree-walk based evaluation, with non-recursive, opcode dispatch based, expression evaluation. Projection is now implemented as part of expression evaluation. This both leads to significant performance improvements, and makes future just-in-time compilation of expressions easier. The speed gains primarily come from: - non-recursive implementation reduces stack usage / overhead - simple sub-expressions are implemented with a single jump, without function calls - sharing some state between different sub-expressions - reduced amount of indirect/hard to predict memory accesses by laying out operation metadata sequentially; including the avoidance of nearly all of the previously used linked lists - more code has been moved to expression initialization, avoiding constant re-checks at evaluation time Future just-in-time compilation (JIT) has become easier, as demonstrated by released patches intended to be merged in a later release, for primarily two reasons: Firstly, due to a stricter split between expression initialization and evaluation, less code has to be handled by the JIT. Secondly, due to the non-recursive nature of the generated "instructions", less performance-critical code-paths can easily be shared between interpreted and compiled evaluation. The new framework allows for significant future optimizations. E.g.: - basic infrastructure for to later reduce the per executor-startup overhead of expression evaluation, by caching state in prepared statements. That'd be helpful in OLTPish scenarios where initialization overhead is measurable. - optimizing the generated "code". A number of proposals for potential work has already been made. - optimizing the interpreter. Similarly a number of proposals have been made here too. The move of logic into the expression initialization step leads to some backward-incompatible changes: - Function permission checks are now done during expression initialization, whereas previously they were done during execution. In edge cases this can lead to errors being raised that previously wouldn't have been, e.g. a NULL array being coerced to a different array type previously didn't perform checks. - The set of domain constraints to be checked, is now evaluated once during expression initialization, previously it was re-built every time a domain check was evaluated. For normal queries this doesn't change much, but e.g. for plpgsql functions, which caches ExprStates, the old set could stick around longer. The behavior around might still change.

* Allow custom and foreign scans to have shutdown callbacks.Robert Haas2017-02-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | This is expected to be useful mostly when performing such scans in parallel, because in that case it allows (in combination with commit acf555bc53acb589b5a2827e65d655fa8c9adee0) nodes below a Gather to get control just before the DSM segment goes away.

* Remove obsoleted code relating to targetlist SRF evaluation.Andres Freund2017-01-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Since 69f4b9c plain expression evaluation (and thus normal projection) can't return sets of tuples anymore. Thus remove code dealing with that possibility. This will require adjustments in external code using ExecEvalExpr()/ExecProject() - that should neither be hard nor very common.

* Allow foreign and custom joins to handle EvalPlanQual rechecks.Robert Haas2015-12-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit e7cb7ee14555cc9c5773e2c102efd6371f6f2005 provided basic infrastructure for allowing a foreign data wrapper or custom scan provider to replace a join of one or more tables with a scan. However, this infrastructure failed to take into account the need for possible EvalPlanQual rechecks, and ExecScanFetch would fail an assertion (or just overwrite memory) if such a check was attempted for a plan containing a pushed-down join. To fix, adjust the EPQ machinery to skip some processing steps when scanrelid == 0, making those the responsibility of scan's recheck method, which also has the responsibility in this case of correctly populating the relevant slot. To allow foreign scans to gain control in the right place to make use of this new facility, add a new, optional RecheckForeignScan method. Also, allow a foreign scan to have a child plan, which can be used to correctly populate the slot (or perhaps for something else, but this is the only use currently envisioned).

* Allow FDWs to push down quals without breaking EvalPlanQual rechecks.Robert Haas2015-10-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes a long-standing bug which was discovered while investigating the interaction between the new join pushdown code and the EvalPlanQual machinery: if a ForeignScan appears on the inner side of a paramaterized nestloop, an EPQ recheck would re-return the original tuple even if it no longer satisfied the pushed-down quals due to changed parameter values. This fix adds a new member to ForeignScan and ForeignScanState and a new argument to make_foreignscan, and requires changes to FDWs which push down quals to populate that new argument with a list of quals they have chosen to push down. Therefore, I'm only back-patching to 9.5, even though the bug is not new in 9.5. Etsuro Fujita, reviewed by me and by Kyotaro Horiguchi.
* Code review for foreign/custom join pushdown patch.Tom Lane2015-05-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit e7cb7ee14555cc9c5773e2c102efd6371f6f2005 included some design decisions that seem pretty questionable to me, and there was quite a lot of stuff not to like about the documentation and comments. Clean up as follows: * Consider foreign joins only between foreign tables on the same server, rather than between any two foreign tables with the same underlying FDW handler function. In most if not all cases, the FDW would simply have had to apply the same-server restriction itself (far more expensively, both for lack of caching and because it would be repeated for each combination of input sub-joins), or else risk nasty bugs. Anyone who's really intent on doing something outside this restriction can always use the set_join_pathlist_hook. * Rename fdw_ps_tlist/custom_ps_tlist to fdw_scan_tlist/custom_scan_tlist to better reflect what they're for, and allow these custom scan tlists to be used even for base relations. * Change make_foreignscan() API to include passing the fdw_scan_tlist value, since the FDW is required to set that. Backwards compatibility doesn't seem like an adequate reason to expect FDWs to set it in some ad-hoc extra step, and anyway existing FDWs can just pass NIL. * Change the API of path-generating subroutines of add_paths_to_joinrel, and in particular that of GetForeignJoinPaths and set_join_pathlist_hook, so that various less-used parameters are passed in a struct rather than as separate parameter-list entries. The objective here is to reduce the probability that future additions to those parameter lists will result in source-level API breaks for users of these hooks. It's possible that this is even a small win for the core code, since most CPU architectures can't pass more than half a dozen parameters efficiently anyway. I kept root, joinrel, outerrel, innerrel, and jointype as separate parameters to reduce code churn in joinpath.c --- in particular, putting jointype into the struct would have been problematic because of the subroutines' habit of changing their local copies of that variable. * Avoid ad-hocery in ExecAssignScanProjectionInfo. It was probably all right for it to know about IndexOnlyScan, but if the list is to grow we should refactor the knowledge out to the callers. * Restore nodeForeignscan.c's previous use of the relcache to avoid extra GetFdwRoutine lookups for base-relation scans. * Lots of cleanup of documentation and missed comments. Re-order some code additions into more logical places.
* Allow FDWs and custom scan providers to replace joins with scans.Robert Haas2015-05-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Foreign data wrappers can use this capability for so-called "join pushdown"; that is, instead of executing two separate foreign scans and then joining the results locally, they can generate a path which performs the join on the remote server and then is scanned locally. This commit does not extend postgres_fdw to take advantage of this capability; it just provides the infrastructure. Custom scan providers can use this in a similar way. Previously, it was only possible for a custom scan provider to scan a single relation. Now, it can scan an entire join tree, provided of course that it knows how to produce the same results that the join would have produced if executed normally.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Move checking for unscannable matviews into ExecOpenScanRelation, which is a better place for it first because the open relation is already available (saving a relcache lookup cycle), and second because this eliminates the problem of telling the difference between rangetable entries that will or will not be scanned by the query. In particular we can get rid of the not-terribly-well-thought-out-or-implemented isResultRel field that the initial matviews patch added to RangeTblEntry. Also get rid of entirely unnecessary scannability check in the rewriter, and a bogus decision about whether RefreshMatViewStmt requires a parse-time snapshot. catversion bump due to removal of a RangeTblEntry field, which changes stored rules.
