* Remove unused #include's from backend .c filesPeter Eisentraut2024-03-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Remove obsolete executor cleanup codeAmit Langote2023-09-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit removes unnecessary ExecExprFreeContext() calls in ExecEnd* routines because the actual cleanup is managed by FreeExecutorState(). With no callers remaining for ExecExprFreeContext(), this commit also removes the function. This commit also drops redundant ExecClearTuple() calls, because ExecResetTupleTable() in ExecEndPlan() already takes care of resetting and dropping all TupleTableSlots initialized with ExecInitScanTupleSlot() and ExecInitExtraTupleSlot(). After these modifications, the ExecEnd*() routines for ValuesScan, NamedTuplestoreScan, and WorkTableScan became redundant. So, this commit removes them.

* Collations with nondeterministic comparisonPeter Eisentraut2019-03-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a flag "deterministic" to collations. If that is false, such a collation disables various optimizations that assume that strings are equal only if they are byte-wise equal. That then allows use cases such as case-insensitive or accent-insensitive comparisons or handling of strings with different Unicode normal forms. This functionality is only supported with the ICU provider. At least glibc doesn't appear to have any locales that work in a nondeterministic way, so it's not worth supporting this for the libc provider. The term "deterministic comparison" in this context is from Unicode Technical Standard #10 (https://unicode.org/reports/tr10/#Deterministic_Comparison). This patch makes changes in three areas: - CREATE COLLATION DDL changes and system catalog changes to support this new flag. - Many executor nodes and auxiliary code are extended to track collations. Previously, this code would just throw away collation information, because the eventually-called user-defined functions didn't use it since they only cared about equality, which didn't need collation information. - String data type functions that do equality comparisons and hashing are changed to take the (non-)deterministic flag into account. For comparison, this just means skipping various shortcuts and tie breakers that use byte-wise comparison. For hashing, we first need to convert the input string to a canonical "sort key" using the ICU analogue of strxfrm().

* Introduce notion of different types of slots (without implementing them).Andres Freund2018-11-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Upcoming work intends to allow pluggable ways to introduce new ways of storing table data. Accessing those table access methods from the executor requires TupleTableSlots to be carry tuples in the native format of such storage methods; otherwise there'll be a significant conversion overhead. Different access methods will require different data to store tuples efficiently (just like virtual, minimal, heap already require fields in TupleTableSlot). To allow that without requiring additional pointer indirections, we want to have different structs (embedding TupleTableSlot) for different types of slots. Thus different types of slots are needed, which requires adapting creators of slots. The slot that most efficiently can represent a type of tuple in an executor node will often depend on the type of slot a child node uses. Therefore we need to track the type of slot is returned by nodes, so parent slots can create slots based on that. Relatedly, JIT compilation of tuple deforming needs to know which type of slot a certain expression refers to, so it can create an appropriate deforming function for the type of tuple in the slot. But not all nodes will only return one type of slot, e.g. an append node will potentially return different types of slots for each of its subplans. Therefore add function that allows to query the type of a node's result slot, and whether it'll always be the same type (whether it's fixed). This can be queried using ExecGetResultSlotOps(). The scan, result, inner, outer type of slots are automatically inferred from ExecInitScanTupleSlot(), ExecInitResultSlot(), left/right subtrees respectively. If that's not correct for a node, that can be overwritten using new fields in PlanState. This commit does not introduce the actually abstracted implementation of different kind of TupleTableSlots, that will be left for a followup commit. The different types of slots introduced will, for now, still use the same backing implementation. While this already partially invalidates the big comment in tuptable.h, it seems to make more sense to update it later, when the different TupleTableSlot implementations actually exist.

* Don't require return slots for nodes without projection.Andres Freund2018-11-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In a lot of nodes the return slot is not required. That can either be because the node doesn't do any projection (say an Append node), or because the node does perform projections but the projection is optimized away because the projection would yield an identical row. Slots aren't that small, especially for wide rows, so it's worthwhile to avoid creating them. It's not possible to just skip creating the slot - it's currently used to determine the tuple descriptor returned by ExecGetResultType(). So separate the determination of the result type from the slot creation. The work previously done internally ExecInitResultTupleSlotTL() can now also be done separately with ExecInitResultTypeTL() and ExecInitResultSlot(). That way nodes that aren't guaranteed to need a result slot, can use ExecInitResultTypeTL() to determine the result type of the node, and ExecAssignScanProjectionInfo() (via ExecConditionalAssignProjectionInfo()) determines that a result slot is needed, it is created with ExecInitResultSlot(). Besides the advantage of avoiding to create slots that then are unused, this is necessary preparation for later patches around tuple table slot abstraction. In particular separating the return descriptor and slot is a prerequisite to allow JITing of tuple deforming with knowledge of the underlying tuple format, and to avoid unnecessarily creating JITed tuple deforming for virtual slots. This commit removes a redundant argument from ExecInitResultTupleSlotTL(). While this commit touches a lot of the relevant lines anyway, it'd normally still not worthwhile to cause breakage, except that aforementioned later commits will touch *all* ExecInitResultTupleSlotTL() callers anyway (but fits worse thematically).

* Remove redundant initialization of a local variable.Tom Lane2018-02-18
| | | | | | | In what was doubtless a typo, commit bf6c614a2 introduced a duplicate initialization of a local variable. This made Coverity unhappy, as well as pretty much anybody reading the code. We don't even have a real use for the local variable, so just remove it.
* 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit 773aec7aa98abd38d6d9435913bb8e14e392c274. There's an unresolved issue in the reverted commit: It only creates one comparator function, but in for the nodeSubplan.c case we need more (c.f. FindTupleHashEntry vs LookupTupleHashEntry calls in nodeSubplan.c). This isn't too difficult to fix, but it's not entirely trivial either. The fact that the issue only causes breakage on 32bit systems shows that the current test coverage isn't that great. To avoid turning half the buildfarm red till those two issues are addressed, revert.

* 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).

* Move interrupt checking from ExecProcNode() to executor nodes.Andres Freund2017-07-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In a followup commit ExecProcNode(), and especially the large switch it contains, will largely be replaced by a function pointer directly to the correct node. The node functions will then get invoked by a thin inline function wrapper. To avoid having to include miscadmin.h in headers - CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() - move the interrupt checks into the individual executor routines. While looking through all executor nodes, I noticed a number of arguably missing interrupt checks, add these too.

* 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.

Fix this by checking during plan startup that Vars at relation scan level match the current relation tuple descriptor. Since at that point we already have at least AccessShareLock, we can be sure the column type will not change underneath us later in the query. However, since a backend's locks do not conflict against itself, there is still a hole for an attacker to exploit: he could try to execute ALTER COLUMN TYPE while a query is in progress in the current backend. Seal that hole by rejecting ALTER TABLE whenever the target relation is already open in the current backend. This is a significant security hole: not only can one trivially crash the backend, but with appropriate misuse of pass-by-reference datatypes it is possible to read out arbitrary locations in the server process's memory, which could allow retrieving database content the user should not be able to see.

* Change the planner-to-executor API so that the planner tells the executorTom Lane2007-01-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | which comparison operators to use for plan nodes involving tuple comparison (Agg, Group, Unique, SetOp). Formerly the executor looked up the default equality operator for the datatype, which was really pretty shaky, since it's possible that the data being fed to the node is sorted according to some nondefault operator class that could have an incompatible idea of equality. The planner knows what it has sorted by and therefore can provide the right equality operator to use. Also, this change moves a couple of catalog lookups out of the executor and into the planner, which should help startup time for pre-planned queries by some small amount. Modify the planner to remove some other cavalier assumptions about always being able to use the default operators. Also add "nulls first/last" info to the Plan node for a mergejoin --- neither the executor nor the planner can cope yet, but at least the API is in place.
