* Improve the naming in wal_sync_method code.Nathan Bossart2023-10-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * sync_method is renamed to wal_sync_method. * sync_method_options[] is renamed to wal_sync_method_options[]. * assign_xlog_sync_method() is renamed to assign_wal_sync_method(). * The names of the available synchronization methods are now prefixed with "WAL_SYNC_METHOD_" and have been moved into a WalSyncMethod enum. * PLATFORM_DEFAULT_SYNC_METHOD is renamed to PLATFORM_DEFAULT_WAL_SYNC_METHOD, and DEFAULT_SYNC_METHOD is renamed to DEFAULT_WAL_SYNC_METHOD. These more descriptive names help distinguish the code for wal_sync_method from the code for DataDirSyncMethod (e.g., the recovery_init_sync_method configuration parameter and the --sync-method option provided by several frontend utilities). This change also prevents name collisions between the aforementioned sets of code. Since this only improves the naming of internal identifiers, there should be no behavior change.

* Add support for AT LOCALMichael Paquier2023-10-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When converting a timestamp to/from with/without time zone, the SQL Standard specifies an AT LOCAL variant of AT TIME ZONE which uses the session's time zone. This includes three system functions able to do the work in the same way as the existing flavors for AT TIME ZONE, except that these need to be marked as stable as they depend on the session's TimeZone GUC.

* Unify two isLogSwitch tests in XLogInsertRecord.Robert Haas2023-10-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | An upcoming patch wants to introduce an additional special case in this function. To keep that as cheap as possible, minimize the amount of branching that we do based on whether this is an XLOG_SWITCH record. Additionally, and also in the interest of keeping the overhead of special-case code paths as low as possible, apply likely() to the non-XLOG_SWITCH case, since only a very tiny fraction of WAL records will be XLOG_SWITCH records.

* Fix runtime partition pruning for HASH partitioned tablesDavid Rowley2023-10-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This could only affect HASH partitioned tables with at least 2 partition key columns. If partition pruning was delayed until execution and the query contained an IS NULL qual on one of the partitioned keys, and some subsequent partitioned key was being compared to a non-Const, then this could result in a crash due to the incorrect keyno being used to calculate the stateidx for the expression evaluation code. Here we fix this by properly skipping partitioned keys which have a nullkey set. Effectively, this must be the same as what's going on inside perform_pruning_base_step(). Sergei Glukhov also provided a patch, but that's not what's being used here.

* Fix incorrect step generation in HASH partition pruningDavid Rowley2023-10-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | get_steps_using_prefix_recurse() incorrectly assumed that it could stop recursive processing of the 'prefix' list when cur_keyno was one before the step_lastkeyno. Since hash partition pruning can prune using IS NULL quals, and these IS NULL quals are not present in the 'prefix' list, then that logic could cause more levels of recursion than what is needed and lead to there being no more items in the 'prefix' list to process. This would manifest itself as a crash in some code that expected the 'start' ListCell not to be NULL. Here we adjust the logic so that instead of stopping recursion at 1 key before the step_lastkeyno, we just look at the llast(prefix) item and ensure we only recursively process up until just before whichever the last key is. This effectively allows keys to be missing in the 'prefix' list. This change does mean that step_lastkeyno is no longer needed, so we remove that from the static functions. I also spent quite some time reading this code and testing it to try to convince myself that there are no other issues. That resulted in the irresistible temptation of rewriting some comments, many of which were just not true or inconcise.

* Add option to bgworkers to allow the bypass of role login checkMichael Paquier2023-10-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a new option called BGWORKER_BYPASS_ROLELOGINCHECK to the flags available to BackgroundWorkerInitializeConnection() and BackgroundWorkerInitializeConnectionByOid(). This gives the possibility to bgworkers to bypass the role login check, making possible the use of a role that has no login rights while not being a superuser. PostgresInit() gains a new flag called INIT_PG_OVERRIDE_ROLE_LOGIN, taking advantage of the refactoring done in 4800a5dfb4c4. Regression tests are added to worker_spi to check the behavior of this new option with bgworkers.

* Fix missed optimization in relation_excluded_by_constraints().Tom Lane2023-10-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In commit 3fc6e2d7f, I (tgl) argued that we only need to check for a constant-FALSE restriction clause when there's exactly one restriction clause, on the grounds that const-folding would have thrown away anything ANDed with a Const FALSE. That's true just after const-folding has been applied, but subsequent processing such as equivalence class expansion could result in cases where a Const FALSE is ANDed with some other stuff. (Compare for instance joinrels.c's restriction_is_constant_false.) Hence, tweak this logic to check all the elements of the baserestrictinfo list, not just one; that's cheap enough to not be worth worrying about. There is one existing test case where this visibly improves the plan. There would not be any savings in runtime, but the planner effort and executor startup effort will be reduced, and anyway it's odd that we can detect related cases but not this one.

* Clarify the checks in RegisterBackgroundWorker.Heikki Linnakangas2023-10-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In EXEC_BACKEND or single-user mode, we process shared_preload_libraries at postmaster startup as usual, but also at backend startup. When a library calls RegisterBackgroundWorker() when being loaded into a backend process, we go through the motions to add the worker to BackgroundWorkerList, even though that is a postmaster-private data structure. Make it return early when called in a backend process, without changing BackgroundWorkerList. You could argue that it was intentional: In non-EXEC_BACKEND mode, the backend processes inherit BackgroundWorkerList at fork(), so it does make some sense to initialize it to the same state in EXEC_BACKEND mode, too. It's clearly a postmaster-private structure, though, and all the functions that use it are clearly marked as "should only be called in postmaster". You could also argue that libraries should not call RegisterBackgroundWorker() during backend startup. It's too late to correctly register any static background workers at that stage. But it's a common pattern in extensions, and it doesn't seem worth the churn to require all extensions to change it. Another sloppiness was the exception for "internal" background workers. We checked that RegisterBackgroundWorker() was called during shared_preload_libraries processing, or the background worker was an internal one. That exception was made in commit 665d1fad99 to allow postmaster to register the logical apply launcher in ApplyLauncherRegister(). The way the check was written, it would not complain if you registered an internal background worker in a regular backend process. But it would complain if postmaster registered a background worker defined in a shared library, outside shared_preload_libraries processing. I think the correct rule is that you can only register static background workers in the postmaster process, and only before the bgworker shared memory array has been initialized. Check for that more directly. Reviewed-by: Thomas Munro Discussion: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/4f95c1fc-ad3c-7974-3a8c-6faa3931804c@iki.fi
* Optimize various aggregate deserialization functionsDavid Rowley2023-10-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The serialized representation of an internal aggregate state is a bytea value. In each deserial function, in order to "receive" the bytea value we appended it onto a short-lived StringInfoData using appendBinaryStringInfo. This was a little wasteful as it meant having to palloc memory, copy a (possibly long) series of bytes then later pfree that memory. Instead of going to this extra trouble, we can just fake up a StringInfoData and point the data directly at the bytea's payload. This should help increase the performance of internal aggregate deserialization.

* Strip off ORDER BY/DISTINCT aggregate pathkeys in create_agg_pathDavid Rowley2023-10-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1349d2790 added code to adjust the PlannerInfo.group_pathkeys so that ORDER BY / DISTINCT aggregate functions could obtain pre-sorted inputs to allow faster execution. That commit forgot to adjust the pathkeys in create_agg_path(). Some code in there assumed that it was always fine to make the AggPath's pathkeys the same as its subpath's. That seems to have been ok up until 1349d2790, but since that commit adds pathkeys for columns which are within the aggregate function, those columns won't be available above the aggregate node. This can result in "could not find pathkey item to sort" during create_plan(). The fix here is to strip off the additional pathkeys added by adjust_group_pathkeys_for_groupagg(). It seems that the pathkeys here will only ever be group_pathkeys, so all we need to do is check if the length of the pathkey list is longer than the num_groupby_pathkeys and get rid of the additional ones only if we see extras.

* Remove debug_print_rel and replace usages with pprintDavid Rowley2023-10-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Going by c4a1933b4, b33ef397a and 05893712c (to name just a few), it seems that maintaining debug_print_rel() is often forgotten. In the case of c4a1933b4, it was several years before anyone noticed that a path type was not handled by debug_print_rel(). (debug_print_rel() is only compiled when building with OPTIMIZER_DEBUG). After a quick survey on the pgsql-hackers mailing list, nobody came forward to admit that they use OPTIMIZER_DEBUG. So to prevent any future maintenance neglect, let's just remove debug_print_rel() and have OPTIMIZER_DEBUG make use of pprint() instead (as suggested by Tom Lane). If anyone wants to come forward to claim they make use of OPTIMIZER_DEBUG in a way that they need debug_print_rel() then they have around 10 months remaining in the v17 cycle where we could revert this. If nobody comes forward in that time, then we can likely safely declare debug_print_rel() as not worth keeping.

SELECT * FROM tbl WHERE col > 'a' AND col < 'b' ORDER BY col; The (col > 'a') scan key will be always matched once we find the location to start the scan. The (col < 'b') scan key will match every item on the page as long as it matches the last item on the page. This patch implements prechecking of the scan keys required for directional scan on beginning of page scan. If precheck is successful we can skip this scan keys check for the items on the page. That could lead to significant acceleration especially if the comparison operator is expensive. Idea from patch by Konstantin Knizhnik.

At the same time, we change the API of makeJsonLexContextCstringLen to make it receive a pointer to JsonLexContext for callers that want it to be stack-allocated; it can also be passed as NULL to get the original behavior of a palloc'ed one. This also causes an ABI break due to the addition of flags to JsonLexContext, so we can't easily backpatch it.

This could for example trigger with the following functions, all calling pgstat_read_current_status(): - pg_stat_get_backend_subxact() - pg_stat_get_backend_idset() - pg_stat_get_progress_info() - pg_stat_get_activity() - pg_stat_get_db_numbackends() The change to use MemoryContextAllocHuge() has been introduced in 8d0ddccec636, so backpatch down to 12.

* Tidy-up some appendStringInfo*() usagesDavid Rowley2023-10-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | Make a few newish calls to appendStringInfo() which have no special formatting use appendStringInfoString() instead. Also, adjust usages of appendStringInfoString() which only append a string containing a single character to make use of appendStringInfoChar() instead. This makes the code marginally faster, but primarily this change is so we use the StringInfo type as it was intended to be used.

* Fail hard on out-of-memory failures in xlogreader.cMichael Paquier2023-10-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit changes the WAL reader routines so as a FATAL for the backend or exit(FAILURE) for the frontend is triggered if an allocation for a WAL record decode fails in walreader.c, rather than treating this case as bogus data, which would be equivalent to the end of WAL. The key is to avoid palloc_extended(MCXT_ALLOC_NO_OOM) in walreader.c, relying on plain palloc() calls. The previous behavior could make WAL replay finish too early than it should. For example, crash recovery finishing earlier may corrupt clusters because not all the WAL available locally was replayed to ensure a consistent state. Out-of-memory failures would show up randomly depending on the memory pressure on the host, but one simple case would be to generate a large record, then replay this record after downsizing a host, as Ethan Mertz originally reported. This relies on bae868caf222, as the WAL reader routines now do the memory allocation required for a record only once its header has been fully read and validated, making xl_tot_len trustable. Making the WAL reader react differently on out-of-memory or bogus record data would require ABI changes, so this is the safest choice for stable branches. Also, it is worth noting that 3f1ce973467a has been using a plain palloc() in this code for some time now. Thanks to Noah Misch and Thomas Munro for the discussion. Like the other commit, backpatch down to 12, leaving out v11 that will be EOL'd soon. The behavior of considering a failed allocation as bogus data comes originally from 0ffe11abd3a0, where the record length retrieved from its header was not entirely trustable.

* Remove retry loop in heap_page_prune().Robert Haas2023-10-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The retry loop is needed because heap_page_prune() calls HeapTupleSatisfiesVacuum() and then lazy_scan_prune() does the same thing again, and they might get different answers due to concurrent clog updates. But this patch makes heap_page_prune() return the HeapTupleSatisfiesVacuum() results that it computed back to the caller, which allows lazy_scan_prune() to avoid needing to recompute those values in the first place. That's nice both because it eliminates the need for a retry loop and also because it's cheaper. Melanie Plageman, reviewed by David Geier, Andres Freund, and me.

* Revert "Add soft error handling to some expression nodes"Amit Langote2023-10-02

* Add soft error handling to some expression nodesAmit Langote2023-10-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adjusts the expression evaluation code for CoerceViaIO and CoerceToDomain to handle errors softly if needed. For CoerceViaIo, this means using InputFunctionCallSafe(), which provides the option to handle errors softly, instead of calling the type input function directly. For CoerceToDomain, this simply entails replacing the ereport() in ExecEvalConstraintCheck() by errsave(). In both cases, the ErrorSaveContext to be used when evaluating the expression is stored by ExecInitExprRec() in the expression's struct in the expression's ExprEvalStep. The ErrorSaveContext is passed by setting ExprState.escontext to point to it when calling ExecInitExprRec() on the expression whose errors are to be handled softly. Note that no call site of ExecInitExprRec() has been changed in this commit, so there's no functional change. This is intended for implementing new SQL/JSON expression nodes in future commits that will use to it suppress errors that may occur during type coercions.

* Fix datalen calculation in tsvectorrecv().Tom Lane2023-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After receiving position data for a lexeme, tsvectorrecv() advanced its "datalen" value by (npos+1)*sizeof(WordEntry) where the correct calculation is (npos+1)*sizeof(WordEntryPos). This accidentally failed to render the constructed tsvector invalid, but it did result in leaving some wasted space approximately equal to the space consumed by the position data. That could have several bad effects: * Disk space is wasted if the received tsvector is stored into a table as-is. * A legal tsvector could get rejected with "maximum total lexeme length exceeded" if the extra space pushes it over the MAXSTRPOS limit. * In edge cases, the finished tsvector could be assigned a length larger than the allocated size of its palloc chunk, conceivably leading to SIGSEGV when the tsvector gets copied somewhere else. The odds of a field failure of this sort seem low, though valgrind testing could probably have found this. While we're here, let's express the calculation as "sizeof(uint16) + npos * sizeof(WordEntryPos)" to avoid the type pun implicit in the "npos + 1" formulation. It's not wrong given that WordEntryPos had better be 2 bytes to avoid padding problems, but it seems clearer this way. Report and patch by Denis Erokhin. Back-patch to all supported versions.
