* Silence Valgrind leakage complaints in more-or-less-hackish ways.Tom Lane42 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These changes don't actually fix any leaks. They just make sure that Valgrind will find pointers to data structures that remain allocated at process exit, and thus not falsely complain about leaks. In particular, we are trying to avoid situations where there is no pointer to the beginning of an allocated block (except possibly within the block itself, which Valgrind won't count). * Because dynahash.c never frees hashtable storage except by deleting the whole hashtable context, it doesn't bother to track the individual blocks of elements allocated by element_alloc(). This results in "possibly lost" complaints from Valgrind except when the first element of each block is actively in use. (Otherwise it'll be on a freelist, but very likely only reachable via "interior pointers" within element blocks, which doesn't satisfy Valgrind.) To fix, if we're building with USE_VALGRIND, expend an extra pointer's worth of space in each element block so that we can chain them all together from the HTAB header. Skip this in shared hashtables though: Valgrind doesn't track those, and we'd need additional locking to make it safe to manipulate a shared chain. While here, update a comment obsoleted by 9c911ec06. * Put the dlist_node fields of catctup and catclist structs first. This ensures that the dlist pointers point to the starts of these palloc blocks, and thus that Valgrind won't consider them "possibly lost". * The postmaster's PMChild structs and the autovac launcher's avl_dbase structs also have the dlist_node-is-not-first problem, but putting it first still wouldn't silence the warning because we bulk-allocate those structs in an array, so that Valgrind sees a single allocation. Commonly the first array element will be pointed to only from some later element, so that the reference would be an interior pointer even if it pointed to the array start. (This is the same issue as for dynahash elements.) Since these are pretty simple data structures, I don't feel too bad about faking out Valgrind by just keeping a static pointer to the array start. (This is all quite hacky, and it's not hard to imagine usages where we'd need some other idea in order to have reasonable leak tracking of structures that are only accessible via dlist_node lists. But these changes seem to be enough to silence this class of leakage complaints for the moment.) * Free a couple of data structures manually near the end of an autovacuum worker's run when USE_VALGRIND, and ensure that the final vac_update_datfrozenxid() call is done in a non-permanent context. This doesn't have any real effect on the process's total memory consumption, since we're going to exit as soon as that last transaction is done. But it does pacify Valgrind. * Valgrind complains about the postmaster's socket-files and lock-files lists being leaked, which we can silence by just not nulling out the static pointers to them. * Valgrind seems not to consider the global "environ" variable as a valid root pointer; so when we allocate a new environment array, it claims that data is leaked. To fix that, keep our own statically-allocated copy of the pointer, similarly to the previous item.

* Fix warnings about declaration of environ on MinGW.Thomas Munro2024-12-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | POSIX says that the global variable environ shouldn't be declared in a header, and that you have to declare it yourself. MinGW declares it in <stdlib.h> with some macrology that messes up our declarations. Visual Studio doesn't warn (there are clues that it may also declare it, but if so, apparently compatibly). Suppress our declarations, on MinGW only. This clears the last warnings on CI's optional MinGW task, and hopefully on build farm animal fairywren too. Like 1319997d, no back-patch for now as it's not known to be breaking anything, and my humble goal is just to keep the MinGW build clean going forward.

* Allow "make check"-style testing to work with musl C library.Tom Lane2024-03-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The musl dynamic linker saves a pointer to the process' environment value of LD_LIBRARY_PATH very early in startup. When we move/clobber the environment to make more room for ps status strings, we clobber that value and thereby prevent libraries from being found via LD_LIBRARY_PATH, which breaks the use of a temporary installation for testing purposes. To fix, stop collecting usable space for ps status if we notice that the variable we are about to clobber is LD_LIBRARY_PATH. This will result in some reduction in how long the ps status can be, but it's only likely to occur in temporary test contexts, so it doesn't seem like a big problem. In any case, we don't have to do it if we see we are on glibc, which surely is where the majority of our Linux testing is done. Thomas Munro, Bruce Momjian, and Tom Lane, per report from Wolfgang Walther. Back-patch to all supported branches, with the hope that we'll set up a buildfarm animal to test on this platform.

* 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 AIX supportHeikki Linnakangas2024-02-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There isn't a lot of user demand for AIX support, we have a bunch of hacks to work around AIX-specific compiler bugs and idiosyncrasies, and no one has stepped up to the plate to properly maintain it. Remove support for AIX to get rid of that maintenance overhead. It's still supported for stable versions. The acute issue that triggered this decision was that after commit 8af2565248, the AIX buildfarm members have been hitting this assertion: TRAP: failed Assert("(uintptr_t) buffer == TYPEALIGN(PG_IO_ALIGN_SIZE, buffer)"), File: "md.c", Line: 472, PID: 2949728 Apperently the "pg_attribute_aligned(a)" attribute doesn't work on AIX for values larger than PG_IO_ALIGN_SIZE, for a static const variable. That could be worked around, but we decided to just drop the AIX support instead.

* Speedup and increase usability of set proc title functionsDavid Rowley2023-02-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The setting of the process title could be seen on profiles of very fast-to-execute queries. In many locations where we call set_ps_display() we pass along a string constant, the length of which is known during compilation. Here we effectively rename set_ps_display() to set_ps_display_with_len() and then add a static inline function named set_ps_display() which calls strlen() on the given string. This allows the compiler to optimize away the strlen() call when dealing with call sites passing a string constant. We can then also use memcpy() instead of strlcpy() to copy the string into the destination buffer. That's significantly faster than strlcpy's byte-at-a-time way of copying. Here we also take measures to improve some code which was adjusting the process title to add a " waiting" suffix to it. Call sites which require this can now just call set_ps_display_suffix() to add or adjust the suffix and call set_ps_display_remove_suffix() to remove it again.

* Clean up some inconsistencies with GUC declarationsMichael Paquier2022-10-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is similar to 7d25958, and this commit takes care of all the remaining inconsistencies between the initial value used in the C variable associated to a GUC and its default value stored in the GUC tables (as of pg_settings.boot_val). Some of the initial values of the GUCs updated rely on a compile-time default. These are refactored so as the GUC table and its C declaration use the same values. This makes everything consistent with other places, backend_flush_after, bgwriter_flush_after, port, checkpoint_flush_after doing so already, for example.

* Refactor ps_status.c APIPeter Eisentraut2020-03-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The init_ps_display() arguments were mostly lies by now, so to match typical usage, just use one argument and let the caller assemble it from multiple sources if necessary. The only user of the additional arguments is BackendInitialize(), which was already doing string assembly on the caller side anyway. Remove the second argument of set_ps_display() ("force") and just handle that in init_ps_display() internally. BackendInitialize() also used to set the initial status as "authentication", but that was very far from where authentication actually happened. So now it's set to "initializing" and then "authentication" just before the actual call to ClientAuthentication().

* 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.

* Refer to OS X as "macOS", except for the port name which is still "darwin".Tom Lane2016-09-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We weren't terribly consistent about whether to call Apple's OS "OS X" or "Mac OS X", and the former is probably confusing to people who aren't Apple users. Now that Apple has rebranded it "macOS", follow their lead to establish a consistent naming pattern. Also, avoid the use of the ancient project name "Darwin", except as the port code name which does not seem desirable to change. (In short, this patch touches documentation and comments, but no actual code.) I didn't touch contrib/start-scripts/osx/, either. I suspect those are obsolete and due for a rewrite, anyway. I dithered about whether to apply this edit to old release notes, but those were responsible for quite a lot of the inconsistencies, so I ended up changing them too. Anyway, Apple's being ahistorical about this, so why shouldn't we be?

Generally speaking, these are places where an actual OOM is quite unlikely, either because they're in client programs that don't allocate all that much, or they're very early in process startup so that we'd likely have had a fork() failure instead.

To avoid problems with encoding mismatches between postgresql.conf, consoles, and individual databases replace non-ASCII chars in the name with question marks.
