* Collect JIT instrumentation from workers.Andres Freund2018-09-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, when using parallel query, EXPLAIN (ANALYZE)'s JIT compilation timings did not include the overhead from doing so on the workers. Fix that. We do so by simply aggregating the cost of doing JIT compilation on workers and the leader together. Arguably that's not quite accurate, because the total time spend doing so is spent in parallel - but it's hard to do much better. For additional detail, when VERBOSE is specified, the stats for workers are displayed separately.

* In v11, disable JIT by default (it's still enabled by default in HEAD).Tom Lane2018-09-15
| | | | | | | | | | | Per discussion, JIT isn't quite mature enough to ship enabled-by-default. I failed to resist the temptation to do a bunch of copy-editing on the related documentation. Also, clean up some inconsistencies in which section of config.sgml the JIT GUCs are documented in vs. what guc.c and postgresql.config.sample had.

* Add inlining support to LLVM JIT provider.Andres Freund2018-03-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This provides infrastructure to allow JITed code to inline code implemented in C. This e.g. can be postgres internal functions or extension code. This already speeds up long running queries, by allowing the LLVM optimizer to optimize across function boundaries. The optimization potential currently doesn't reach its full potential because LLVM cannot optimize the FunctionCallInfoData argument fully away, because it's allocated on the heap rather than the stack. Fixing that is beyond what's realistic for v11. To be able to do that, use CLANG to convert C code to LLVM bitcode, and have LLVM build a summary for it. That bitcode can then be used to to inline functions at runtime. For that the bitcode needs to be installed. Postgres bitcode goes into $pkglibdir/bitcode/postgres, extensions go into equivalent directories. PGXS has been modified so that happens automatically if postgres has been compiled with LLVM support. Currently this isn't the fastest inline implementation, modules are reloaded from disk during inlining. That's to work around an apparent LLVM bug, triggering an apparently spurious error in LLVM assertion enabled builds. Once that is resolved we can remove the superfluous read from disk. 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
* 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
* Add expression compilation support to LLVM JIT provider.Andres Freund2018-03-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In addition to the interpretation of expressions (which back evaluation of WHERE clauses, target list projection, aggregates transition values etc) support compiling expressions to native code, using the infrastructure added in earlier commits. To avoid duplicating a lot of code, only support emitting code for cases that are likely to be performance critical. For expression steps that aren't deemed that, use the existing interpreter. The generated code isn't great - some architectural changes are required to address that. But this already yields a significant speedup for some analytics queries, particularly with WHERE clauses filtering a lot, or computing multiple aggregates.

VALUES() nodes are only ever executed once. This is primarily helpful for debugging, when forcing JITing even for cheap queries.

* Basic planner and executor integration for JIT.Andres Freund2018-03-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds simple cost based plan time decision about whether JIT should be performed. jit_above_cost, jit_optimize_above_cost are compared with the total cost of a plan, and if the cost is above them JIT is performed / optimization is performed respectively. For that PlannedStmt and EState have a jitFlags (es_jit_flags) field that stores information about what JIT operations should be performed. EState now also has a new es_jit field, which can store a JitContext. When there are no errors the context is released in standard_ExecutorEnd(). It is likely that the default values for jit_[optimize_]above_cost will need to be adapted further, but in my test these values seem to work reasonably.

* Debugging and profiling support for LLVM JIT provider.Andres Freund2018-03-22
| | | | | | | | | This currently requires patches to the LLVM codebase to be effective (submitted upstream), the GUCs are available without those patches however. Author: Andres Freund Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20170901064131.tazjxwus3k2w3ybh@alap3.anarazel.de
* Support for optimizing and emitting code in LLVM JIT provider.Andres Freund2018-03-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit introduces the ability to actually generate code using LLVM. In particular, this adds: - Ability to emit code both in heavily optimized and largely unoptimized fashion - Batching facility to allow functions to be defined in small increments, but optimized and emitted in executable form in larger batches (for performance and memory efficiency) - Type and function declaration synchronization between runtime generated code and normal postgres code. This is critical to be able to access struct fields etc. - Developer oriented jit_dump_bitcode GUC, for inspecting / debugging the generated code. - per JitContext statistics of number of functions, time spent generating code, optimizing, and emitting it. This will later be employed for EXPLAIN support. This commit doesn't yet contain any code actually generating functions. That'll follow in later commits. Documentation for GUCs added, and for JIT in general, will be added in later commits.

* Basic JIT provider and error handling infrastructure.Andres Freund2018-03-21
This commit introduces: 1) JIT provider abstraction, which allows JIT functionality to be implemented in separate shared libraries. That's desirable because it allows to install JIT support as a separate package, and because it allows experimentation with different forms of JITing. 2) JITContexts which can be, using functions introduced in follow up commits, used to emit JITed functions, and have them be cleaned up on error. 3) The outline of a LLVM JIT provider, which will be fleshed out in subsequent commits. Documentation for GUCs added, and for JIT in general, will be added in later commits.
