* pgstat: stats collector references in comments.Andres Freund2022-04-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Soon the stats collector will be no more, with statistics instead getting stored in shared memory. There are a lot of references to the stats collector in comments. This commit replaces most of these references with "cumulative statistics system", with the remaining ones getting replaced as part of subsequent commits. This is done separately from the - quite large - shared memory statistics patch to make review easier.

* Introduce log_destination=jsonlogMichael Paquier2022-01-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "jsonlog" is a new value that can be added to log_destination to provide logs in the JSON format, with its output written to a file, making it the third type of destination of this kind, after "stderr" and "csvlog". The format is convenient to feed logs to other applications. There is also a plugin external to core that provided this feature using the hook in elog.c, but this had to overwrite the output of "stderr" to work, so being able to do both at the same time was not possible. The files generated by this log format are suffixed with ".json", and use the same rotation policies as the other two formats depending on the backend configuration. This takes advantage of the refactoring work done previously in ac7c807, bed6ed3, 8b76f89 and 2d77d83 for the backend parts, and 72b76f7 for the TAP tests, making the addition of any new file-based format rather straight-forward. The documentation is updated to list all the keys and the values that can exist in this new format. pg_current_logfile() also required a refresh for the new option.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This refactors the following routines and facilities coming from elog.c, to ease their use across multiple log destinations: - Start timestamp, including its reset, to store when a process has been started. - The log timestamp, associated to an entry (the same timestamp is used when logging across multiple destinations). - Routine deciding if a query can be logged or not. - The backend type names, depending on the process that logs any information (postmaster, bgworker name or just GetBackendTypeDesc() with a regular backend). - Write of logs using the logging piped protocol, with the log collector enabled. - Error severity converted to a string. These refactored routines will be used for some follow-up changes to move all the csvlog logic into its own file and to potentially add JSON as log destination, reducing the overall size of elog.c as the end result.

* Refactor fallback to stderr for csvlog to handle better WIN32 service caseMichael Paquier2021-10-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | send_message_to_server_log() would force a redirection of a log entry to stderr in some cases for csvlog, like the syslogger not being available yet. If this happens, csvlog would fall back to stderr to log some information rather than nothing. The code was organized so as stderr is done before csvlog, with csvlog checking that stderr did not happen yet with a reversed condition. With this code organization, it could be possible to lose some messages if running Postgres as a service on WIN32, as there is no usable stderr, and the handling of the StringInfoData holding the message for stderr was rather confusing because of that. This commit moves the csvlog handling to be before stderr, as as we are able to track down if it is necessary to log something to stderr. The reduces the handling of stderr to be in a single code path, adding a fallback to event logs for a WIN32 service. This also simplifies the way we handle the StringInfoData for stderr, making easier the integration of new file-based log destinations. I got to play with services and event logs on Windows while checking this change. Reviewed-by: Chris Bandy Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/YV0vwBovEKf1WXkl@paquier.xyz
* Refactor the syslogger pipe protocol to use a bitmask for its optionsMichael Paquier2021-09-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The previous protocol expected a set of matching characters to check if a message sent was the last one or not, that changed depending on the destination wanted: - 't' and 'f' tracked the last message of a log sent to stderr. - 'T' and 'F' tracked the last message of a log sent to csvlog. This could be extended with more characters when introducing new destinations, but using a bitmask is much more elegant. This commit changes the protocol so as a bitmask is used in the header of a log chunk message sent to the syslogger, with the following options available for now: - log_destination as stderr. - log_destination as csvlog. - if a message is the last chunk of a message. Sehrope found this issue in a patch set to introduce JSON as an option for log_destination, but his patch made the size of the protocol header larger. This commit keeps the same size as the original, and adapts the protocol as wanted. Thanks also to Andrew Dunstan and Greg Stark for the discussion.

* Add 'noError' argument to encoding conversion functions.Heikki Linnakangas2021-04-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the 'noError' argument, you can try to convert a buffer without knowing the character boundaries beforehand. The functions now need to return the number of input bytes successfully converted. This is is a backwards-incompatible change, if you have created a custom encoding conversion with CREATE CONVERSION. This adds a check to pg_upgrade for that, refusing the upgrade if there are any user-defined encoding conversions. Custom conversions are very rare, there are no commonly used extensions that I know of that uses that feature. No other objects can depend on conversions, so if you do have one, you can fairly easily drop it before upgrading, and recreate it after the upgrade with an updated version. Add regression tests for built-in encoding conversions. This doesn't cover every conversion, but it covers all the internal functions in conv.c that are used to implement the conversions.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Protocol version 3 was introduced in PostgreSQL 7.4. There shouldn't be many clients or servers left out there without version 3 support. But as a courtesy, I kept just enough of the old protocol support that we can still send the "unsupported protocol version" error in v2 format, so that old clients can display the message properly. Likewise, libpq still understands v2 ErrorResponse messages when establishing a connection. The impetus to do this now is that I'm working on a patch to COPY FROM, to always prefetch some data. We cannot do that safely with the old protocol, because it requires parsing the input one byte at a time to detect the end-of-copy marker.

* Suppress log spam from multiple reports of SIGQUIT shutdown.Tom Lane2020-12-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the postmaster sends SIGQUIT to its children, there's no real need for all the children to log that fact; the postmaster already made a log entry about it, so adding perhaps dozens or hundreds of child-process log entries adds nothing of value. So, let's introduce a new ereport level to specify "WARNING, but never send to log" and use that for these messages. Such a change wouldn't have been desirable before commit 7e784d1dc, because if someone manually SIGQUIT's a backend, we *do* want to log that. But now we can tell the difference between a signal that was issued by the postmaster and one that was not with reasonable certainty. While we're here, also clear error_context_stack before ereport'ing, to prevent error callbacks from being invoked in the signal-handler context. This should reduce the odds of getting hung up while trying to notify the client. Per a suggestion from Andres Freund.

* Centralize logic for skipping useless ereport/elog calls.Tom Lane2020-11-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While ereport() and elog() themselves are quite cheap when the error message level is too low to be printed, some places need to do substantial work before they can call those macros at all. To allow optimizing away such setup work when nothing is to be printed, make elog.c export a new function message_level_is_interesting(elevel) that reports whether ereport/elog will do anything. Make use of that in various places that had ad-hoc direct tests of log_min_messages etc. Also teach ProcSleep to use it to avoid some work. (There may well be other places that could usefully use this; I didn't search hard.) Within elog.c, refactor a little bit to avoid having duplicate copies of the policy-setting logic. When that code was written, we weren't relying on the availability of inline functions; so it had some duplications in the name of efficiency, which I got rid of.

* Improve compiler code layout in elog/ereport ERROR callsDavid Rowley2020-11-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Here we use a bit of preprocessor trickery to coax supporting compilers into laying out their generated code so that the code that's in the same branch as elog(ERROR)/ereport(ERROR) calls is moved away from the hot path. Effectively, this reduces the size of the hot code meaning that it can sit on fewer cache lines. Performance improvements of between 10-15% have been seen on highly CPU bound workloads using pgbench's TPC-b benchmark. What's achieved here is very similar to putting the error condition inside an unlikely() macro. For example; if (unlikely(x < 0)) elog(ERROR, "invalid x value"); now there's no need to make use of unlikely() here as the common macro used by elog and ereport will now see that elevel is >= ERROR and make use of a pg_attribute_cold marked version of errstart(). When elevel < ERROR or if it cannot be determined to be constant, the original behavior is maintained.

* Recognize network-failure errnos as indicating hard connection loss.Tom Lane2020-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Up to now, only ECONNRESET (and EPIPE, in most but not quite all places) received special treatment in our error handling logic. This patch changes things so that related error codes such as ECONNABORTED are also recognized as indicating that the connection's dead and unlikely to come back. We continue to think, however, that only ECONNRESET and EPIPE should be reported as probable server crashes; the other cases indicate network connectivity problems but prove little about the server's state. Thus, there's no change in the error message texts that are output for such cases. The key practical effect is that errcode_for_socket_access() will report ERRCODE_CONNECTION_FAILURE rather than ERRCODE_INTERNAL_ERROR for a network failure. It's expected that this will fix buildfarm member lorikeet's failures since commit 32a9c0bdf, as that seems to be due to not treating ECONNABORTED equivalently to ECONNRESET. The set of errnos treated this way now includes ECONNABORTED, EHOSTDOWN, EHOSTUNREACH, ENETDOWN, ENETRESET, and ENETUNREACH. Several of these were second-class citizens in terms of their handling in places like get_errno_symbol(), so upgrade the infrastructure where necessary. As committed, this patch assumes that all these symbols are defined everywhere. POSIX specifies all of them except EHOSTDOWN, but that seems to exist on all platforms of interest; we'll see what the buildfarm says about that. Probably this should be back-patched, but let's see what the buildfarm thinks of it first. Fujii Masao and Tom Lane Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/2621622.1602184554@sss.pgh.pa.us

It turns out that a minority of compilers complain (not entirely unreasonably) about constructs such as (condition) ? errdetail(...) : 0 if errdetail() returns void rather than int. We could update those call sites to say "(void) 0" perhaps, but the expectation for this patch set was that ereport callers would not have to change anything. And this aspect of the patch set was already the most invasive and least compelling part of it, so let's just drop it. Per buildfarm.

* Improve the internal implementation of ereport().Tom Lane2020-03-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change all the auxiliary error-reporting routines to return void, now that we no longer need to pretend they are passing something useful to errfinish(). While this probably doesn't save anything significant at the machine-code level, it allows detection of some additional types of mistakes. Pass the error location details (__FILE__, __LINE__, PG_FUNCNAME_MACRO) to errfinish not errstart. This shaves a few cycles off the case where errstart decides we're not going to emit anything. Re-implement elog() as a trivial wrapper around ereport(), removing the separate support infrastructure it used to have. Aside from getting rid of some now-surplus code, this means that elog() now really does have exactly the same semantics as ereport(), in particular that it can skip evaluation work if the message is not to be emitted.

* Re-implement the ereport() macro using __VA_ARGS__.Tom Lane2020-03-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that we require C99, we can depend on __VA_ARGS__ to work, and revising ereport() to use it has several significant benefits: * The extra parentheses around the auxiliary function calls are now optional. Aside from being a bit less ugly, this removes a common gotcha for new contributors, because in some cases the compiler errors you got from forgetting them were unintelligible. * The auxiliary function calls are now evaluated as a comma expression list rather than as extra arguments to errfinish(). This means that compilers can be expected to warn about no-op expressions in the list, allowing detection of several other common mistakes such as forgetting to add errmsg(...) when converting an elog() call to ereport(). * Unlike the situation with extra function arguments, comma expressions are guaranteed to be evaluated left-to-right, so this removes platform dependency in the order of the auxiliary function calls. While that dependency hasn't caused us big problems in the past, this change does allow dropping some rather shaky assumptions around errcontext() domain handling. There's no intention to make wholesale changes of existing ereport calls, but as proof-of-concept this patch removes the extra parens from a couple of calls in postgres.c. While new code can be written either way, code intended to be back-patched will need to use extra parens for awhile yet. It seems worth back-patching this change into v12, so as to reduce the window where we have to be careful about that by one year. Hence, this patch is careful to preserve ABI compatibility; a followup HEAD-only patch will make some additional simplifications.

Especially when the split across lines has been changed on both sides, which is somewhat common due to attempting to stay below 80 columns, those conflicts are unnecessarily laborious to resolve. By splitting, and alphabetically sorting, OBJS style lines into one object per line, conflicts should be less frequent, and easier to resolve when they still occur.

* Disallow setting client_min_messages higher than ERROR.Tom Lane2018-11-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously it was possible to set client_min_messages to FATAL or PANIC, which had the effect of suppressing transmission of regular ERROR messages to the client. Perhaps that seemed like a useful option in the past, but the trouble with it is that it breaks guarantees that are explicitly made in our FE/BE protocol spec about how a query cycle can end. While libpq and psql manage to cope with the omission, that's mostly because they are not very bright; client libraries that have more semantic knowledge are likely to get confused. Notably, pgODBC doesn't behave very sanely. Let's fix this by getting rid of the ability to set client_min_messages above ERROR. In HEAD, just remove the FATAL and PANIC options from the set of allowed enum values for client_min_messages. (This change also affects trace_recovery_messages, but that's OK since these aren't useful values for that variable either.) In the back branches, there was concern that rejecting these values might break applications that are explicitly setting things that way. I'm pretty skeptical of that argument, but accommodate it by accepting these values and then internally setting the variable to ERROR anyway. In all branches, this allows a couple of tiny simplifications in the logic in elog.c, so do that. Also respond to the point that was made that client_min_messages has exactly nothing to do with the server's logging behavior, and therefore does not belong in the "When To Log" subsection of the documentation. The "Statement Behavior" subsection is a better match, so move it there.

* Implement %m in src/port/snprintf.c, and teach elog.c to rely on that.Tom Lane2018-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I started out with the idea that we needed to detect use of %m format specs in contexts other than elog/ereport calls, because we couldn't rely on that working in *printf calls. But a better answer is to fix things so that it does work. Now that we're using snprintf.c all the time, we can implement %m in that and we've fixed the problem. This requires also adjusting our various printf-wrapping functions so that they ensure "errno" is preserved when they call snprintf.c. Remove elog.c's handmade implementation of %m, and let it rely on snprintf to support the feature. That should provide some performance gain, though I've not attempted to measure it. There are a lot of places where we could now simplify 'printf("%s", strerror(errno))' into 'printf("%m")', but I'm not in any big hurry to make that happen.

* Convert elog.c's useful_strerror() into a globally-used strerror wrapper.Tom Lane2018-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | elog.c has long had a private strerror wrapper that handles assorted possible failures or deficiencies of the platform's strerror. On Windows, it also knows how to translate Winsock error codes, which the native strerror does not. Move all this code into src/port/strerror.c and define strerror() as a macro that invokes it, so that both our frontend and backend code will have all of this behavior. I believe this constitutes an actual bug fix on Windows, since AFAICS our frontend code did not report Winsock error codes properly before this. However, the main point is to lay the groundwork for implementing %m in src/port/snprintf.c: the behavior we want %m to have is this one, not the native strerror's. Note that this throws away the prior use of src/port/strerror.c, which was to implement strerror() on platforms lacking it. That's been dead code for nigh twenty years now, since strerror() was already required by C89. We should likewise cause strerror_r to use this behavior, but I'll tackle that separately.

* Don't call pgwin32_message_to_UTF16() without CurrentMemoryContext.Noah Misch2017-11-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | PostgreSQL running as a Windows service crashed upon calling write_stderr() before MemoryContextInit(). This fix completes work started in 5735efee15540765315aa8c1a230575e756037f7. Messages this early contain only ASCII bytes; if we removed the CurrentMemoryContext requirement, the ensuing conversions would have no effect. Back-patch to 9.3 (all supported versions).

* Change TRUE/FALSE to true/falsePeter Eisentraut2017-11-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The lower case spellings are C and C++ standard and are used in most parts of the PostgreSQL sources. The upper case spellings are only used in some files/modules. So standardize on the standard spellings. The APIs for ICU, Perl, and Windows define their own TRUE and FALSE, so those are left as is when using those APIs. In code comments, we use the lower-case spelling for the C concepts and keep the upper-case spelling for the SQL concepts. Reviewed-by: Michael Paquier <michael.paquier@gmail.com>
* Reduce excessive dereferencing of function pointersPeter Eisentraut2017-09-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | It is equivalent in ANSI C to write (*funcptr) () and funcptr(). These two styles have been applied inconsistently. After discussion, we'll use the more verbose style for plain function pointer variables, to make it clear that it's a variable, and the shorter style when the function pointer is in a struct (s.func() or s->func()), because then it's clear that it's not a plain function name, and otherwise the excessive punctuation makes some of those invocations hard to read.

* Phase 3 of pgindent updates.Tom Lane2017-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Don't move parenthesized lines to the left, even if that means they flow past the right margin. By default, BSD indent lines up statement continuation lines that are within parentheses so that they start just to the right of the preceding left parenthesis. However, traditionally, if that resulted in the continuation line extending to the right of the desired right margin, then indent would push it left just far enough to not overrun the margin, if it could do so without making the continuation line start to the left of the current statement indent. That makes for a weird mix of indentations unless one has been completely rigid about never violating the 80-column limit. This behavior has been pretty universally panned by Postgres developers. Hence, disable it with indent's new -lpl switch, so that parenthesized lines are always lined up with the preceding left paren. This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

* Phase 2 of pgindent updates.Tom Lane2017-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change pg_bsd_indent to follow upstream rules for placement of comments to the right of code, and remove pgindent hack that caused comments following #endif to not obey the general rule. Commit e3860ffa4dd0dad0dd9eea4be9cc1412373a8c89 wasn't actually using the published version of pg_bsd_indent, but a hacked-up version that tried to minimize the amount of movement of comments to the right of code. The situation of interest is where such a comment has to be moved to the right of its default placement at column 33 because there's code there. BSD indent has always moved right in units of tab stops in such cases --- but in the previous incarnation, indent was working in 8-space tab stops, while now it knows we use 4-space tabs. So the net result is that in about half the cases, such comments are placed one tab stop left of before. This is better all around: it leaves more room on the line for comment text, and it means that in such cases the comment uniformly starts at the next 4-space tab stop after the code, rather than sometimes one and sometimes two tabs after. Also, ensure that comments following #endif are indented the same as comments following other preprocessor commands such as #else. That inconsistency turns out to have been self-inflicted damage from a poorly-thought-through post-indent "fixup" in pgindent. This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.
