* 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>
* 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.

* Make the different Unix-y semaphore implementations ABI-compatible.Tom Lane2016-12-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, the "sem" field of PGPROC varied in size depending on which kernel semaphore API we were using. That was okay as long as there was only one likely choice per platform, but in the wake of commit ecb0d20a9, that assumption seems rather shaky. It doesn't seem out of the question anymore that an extension compiled against one API choice might be loaded into a postmaster built with another choice. Moreover, this prevents any possibility of selecting the semaphore API at postmaster startup, which might be something we want to do in future. Hence, change PGPROC.sem to be PGSemaphore (i.e. a pointer) for all Unix semaphore APIs, and turn the pointed-to data into an opaque struct whose contents are only known within the responsible modules. For the SysV and unnamed-POSIX APIs, the pointed-to data has to be allocated elsewhere in shared memory, which takes a little bit of rejiggering of the InitShmemAllocation code sequence. (I invented a ShmemAllocUnlocked() function to make that a little cleaner than it used to be. That function is not meant for any uses other than the ones it has now, but it beats having InitShmemAllocation() know explicitly about allocation of space for semaphores and spinlocks.) This change means an extra indirection to access the semaphore data, but since we only touch that when blocking or awakening a process, there shouldn't be any meaningful performance penalty. Moreover, at least for the unnamed-POSIX case on Linux, the sem_t type is quite a bit wider than a pointer, so this reduces sizeof(PGPROC) which seems like a good thing. For the named-POSIX API, there's effectively no change: the PGPROC.sem field was and still is a pointer to something returned by sem_open() in the postmaster's memory space. Document and check the pre-existing limitation that this case can't work in EXEC_BACKEND mode. It did not seem worth unifying the Windows semaphore ABI with the Unix cases, since there's no likelihood of needing ABI compatibility much less runtime switching across those cases. However, we can simplify the Windows code a bit if we define PGSemaphore as being directly a HANDLE, rather than pointer to HANDLE, so let's do that while we're here. (This also ends up being no change in what's physically stored in PGPROC.sem. We're just moving the HANDLE fetch from callees to callers.) It would take a bunch of additional code shuffling to get to the point of actually choosing a semaphore API at postmaster start, but the effects of that would now be localized in the port/XXX_sema.c files, so it seems like fit material for a separate patch. The need for it is unproven as yet, anyhow, whereas the ABI risk to extensions seems real enough. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/4029.1481413370@sss.pgh.pa.us

* We don't need to include pg_sema.h in s_lock.h anymore.Tom Lane2014-01-08
| | | | | | | | | Minor improvement to commit daa7527afc2274432094ebe7ceb03aa41f916607: s_lock.h no longer has any need to mention PGSemaphoreData, so we can rip out the #include that supplies that. In a non-HAVE_SPINLOCKS build, this doesn't really buy much since we still need the #include in spin.h --- but everywhere else, this reduces #include footprint by some trifle, and helps keep the different locking facilities separate.
* Reduce the number of semaphores used under --disable-spinlocks.Robert Haas2014-01-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of allocating a semaphore from the operating system for every spinlock, allocate a fixed number of semaphores (by default, 1024) from the operating system and multiplex all the spinlocks that get created onto them. This could self-deadlock if a process attempted to acquire more than one spinlock at a time, but since processes aren't supposed to execute anything other than short stretches of straight-line code while holding a spinlock, that shouldn't happen. One motivation for this change is that, with the introduction of dynamic shared memory, it may be desirable to create spinlocks that last for less than the lifetime of the server. Without this change, attempting to use such facilities under --disable-spinlocks would quickly exhaust any supply of available semaphores. Quite apart from that, it's desirable to contain the quantity of semaphores needed to run the server simply on convenience grounds, since using too many may make it harder to get PostgreSQL running on a new platform, which is mostly the point of --disable-spinlocks in the first place. Patch by me; review by Tom Lane.

* Get rid of the SpinLockAcquire/SpinLockAcquire_NoHoldoff distinctionTom Lane2005-12-29
| | | | | | | | | | in favor of having just one set of macros that don't do HOLD/RESUME_INTERRUPTS (hence, these correspond to the old SpinLockAcquire_NoHoldoff case). Given our coding rules for spinlock use, there is no reason to allow CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS to be done while holding a spinlock, and also there is no situation where ImmediateInterruptOK will be true while holding a spinlock. Therefore doing HOLD/RESUME_INTERRUPTS while taking/releasing a spinlock is just a waste of cycles. Qingqing Zhou and Tom Lane.

| | | | | | | | | existing lock manager and spinlocks: it understands exclusive vs shared lock but has few other fancy features. Replace most uses of spinlocks with lightweight locks. All remaining uses of spinlocks have very short lock hold times (a few dozen instructions), so tweak spinlock backoff code to work efficiently given this assumption.

* Significant cleanups in SysV IPC handling (shared mem and semaphores).Tom Lane2000-11-28
| | | | | | | | | | | IPC key assignment will now work correctly even when multiple postmasters are using same logical port number (which is possible given -k switch). There is only one shared-mem segment per postmaster now, not 3. Rip out broken code for non-TAS case in bufmgr and xlog, substitute a complete S_LOCK emulation using semaphores in spin.c. TAS and non-TAS logic is now exactly the same. When deadlock is detected, "Deadlock detected" is now the elog(ERROR) message, rather than a NOTICE that comes out before an unhelpful ERROR.
* The heralded `Grand Unified Configuration scheme' (GUC)Peter Eisentraut2000-05-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | That means you can now set your options in either or all of $PGDATA/configuration, some postmaster option (--enable-fsync=off), or set a SET command. The list of options is in backend/utils/misc/guc.c, documentation will be written post haste. pg_options is gone, so is that pq_geqo config file. Also removed were backend -K, -Q, and -T options (no longer applicable, although -d0 does the same as -Q). Added to configure an --enable-syslog option. changed all callers from TPRINTF to elog(DEBUG)
