* Add transparent block-level memory accountingTomas Vondra2019-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adds accounting of memory allocated in a memory context. Compared to various ad hoc solutions, the main advantage is that the accounting is transparent and does not require direct control over allocations (this matters for use cases where the allocations happen in user code, like for example aggregate states allocated in a transition functions). To reduce overhead, the accounting happens at the block level (not for individual chunks) and only the context immediately owning the block is updated. When inquiring about amount of memory allocated in a context, we have to recursively walk all children contexts. This "lazy" accounting works well for cases with relatively small number of contexts in the relevant subtree and/or with infrequent inquiries.

* Simplify use of AllocSetContextCreate() wrapper macro.Tom Lane2018-10-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We can allow this macro to accept either abbreviated or non-abbreviated allocation parameters by making use of __VA_ARGS__. As noted by Andres Freund, it's unlikely that any compiler would have __builtin_constant_p but not __VA_ARGS__, so this gives up little or no error checking, and it avoids a minor but annoying API break for extensions. With this change, there is no reason for anybody to call AllocSetContextCreateExtended directly, so in HEAD I renamed it to AllocSetContextCreateInternal. It's probably too late for an ABI break like that in 11, though. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20181012170355.bhxi273skjt6sag4@alap3.anarazel.de

* Allow memory contexts to have both fixed and variable ident strings.Tom Lane2018-03-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Originally, we treated memory context names as potentially variable in all cases, and therefore always copied them into the context header. Commit 9fa6f00b1 rethought this a little bit and invented a distinction between fixed and variable names, skipping the copy step for the former. But we can make things both simpler and more useful by instead allowing there to be two parts to a context's identification, a fixed "name" and an optional, variable "ident". The name supplied in the context create call is now required to be a compile-time-constant string in all cases, as it is never copied but just pointed to. The "ident" string, if wanted, is supplied later. This is needed because typically we want the ident to be stored inside the context so that it's cleaned up automatically on context deletion; that means it has to be copied into the context before we can set the pointer. The cost of this approach is basically just an additional pointer field in struct MemoryContextData, which isn't much overhead, and is bought back entirely in the AllocSet case by not needing a headerSize field anymore, since we no longer have to cope with variable header length. In addition, we can simplify the internal interfaces for memory context creation still further, saving a few cycles there. And it's no longer true that a custom identifier disqualifies a context from participating in aset.c's freelist scheme, so possibly there's some win on that end. All the places that were using non-compile-time-constant context names are adjusted to put the variable info into the "ident" instead. This allows more effective identification of those contexts in many cases; for example, subsidary contexts of relcache entries are now identified by both type (e.g. "index info") and relname, where before you got only one or the other. Contexts associated with PL function cache entries are now identified more fully and uniformly, too. I also arranged for plancache contexts to use the query source string as their identifier. This is basically free for CachedPlanSources, as they contained a copy of that string already. We pay an extra pstrdup to do it for CachedPlans. That could perhaps be avoided, but it would make things more fragile (since the CachedPlanSource is sometimes destroyed first). I suspect future improvements in error reporting will require CachedPlans to have a copy of that string anyway, so it's not clear that it's worth moving mountains to avoid it now. This also changes the APIs for context statistics routines so that the context-specific routines no longer assume that output goes straight to stderr, nor do they know all details of the output format. This is useful immediately to reduce code duplication, and it also allows for external code to do something with stats output that's different from printing to stderr. The reason for pushing this now rather than waiting for v12 is that it rethinks some of the API changes made by commit 9fa6f00b1. Seems better for extension authors to endure just one round of API changes not two. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAB=Je-FdtmFZ9y9REHD7VsSrnCkiBhsA4mdsLKSPauwXtQBeNA@mail.gmail.com

* Rethink MemoryContext creation to improve performance.Tom Lane2017-12-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch makes a number of interrelated changes to reduce the overhead involved in creating/deleting memory contexts. The key ideas are: * Include the AllocSetContext header of an aset.c context in its first malloc request, rather than allocating it separately in TopMemoryContext. This means that we now always create an initial or "keeper" block in an aset, even if it never receives any allocation requests. * Create freelists in which we can save and recycle recently-destroyed asets (this idea is due to Robert Haas). * In the common case where the name of a context is a constant string, just store a pointer to it in the context header, rather than copying the string. The first change eliminates a palloc/pfree cycle per context, and also avoids bloat in TopMemoryContext, at the price that creating a context now involves a malloc/free cycle even if the context never receives any allocations. That would be a loser for some common usage patterns, but recycling short-lived contexts via the freelist eliminates that pain. Avoiding copying constant strings not only saves strlen() and strcpy() overhead, but is an essential part of the freelist optimization because it makes the context header size constant. Currently we make no attempt to use the freelist for contexts with non-constant names. (Perhaps someday we'll need to think harder about that, but in current usage, most contexts with custom names are long-lived anyway.) The freelist management in this initial commit is pretty simplistic, and we might want to refine it later --- but in common workloads that will never matter because the freelists will never get full anyway. To create a context with a non-constant name, one is now required to call AllocSetContextCreateExtended and specify the MEMCONTEXT_COPY_NAME option. AllocSetContextCreate becomes a wrapper macro, and it includes a test that will complain about non-string-literal context name parameters on gcc and similar compilers. An unfortunate side effect of making AllocSetContextCreate a macro is that one is now *required* to use the size parameter abstraction macros (ALLOCSET_DEFAULT_SIZES and friends) with it; the pre-9.6 habit of writing out individual size parameters no longer works unless you switch to AllocSetContextCreateExtended. Internally to the memory-context-related modules, the context creation APIs are simplified, removing the rather baroque original design whereby a context-type module called mcxt.c which then called back into the context-type module. That saved a bit of code duplication, but not much, and it prevented context-type modules from exercising control over the allocation of context headers. In passing, I converted the test-and-elog validation of aset size parameters into Asserts to save a few more cycles. The original thought was that callers might compute size parameters on the fly, but in practice nobody does that, so it's useless to expend cycles on checking those numbers in production builds. Also, mark the memory context method-pointer structs "const", just for cleanliness. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/2264.1512870796@sss.pgh.pa.us

* Ensure SIZE_MAX can be used throughout our code.Tom Lane2017-09-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Pre-C99 platforms may lack <stdint.h> and thereby SIZE_MAX. We have a couple of places using the hack "(size_t) -1" as a fallback, but it wasn't universally available; which means the code added in commit 2e70d6b5e fails to compile everywhere. Move that hack to c.h so that we can rely on having SIZE_MAX everywhere. Per discussion, it'd be a good idea to make the macro's value safe for use in #if-tests, but that will take a bit more work. This is just a quick expedient to get the buildfarm green again. Back-patch to all supported branches, like the previous commit. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/15883.1504278595@sss.pgh.pa.us
* 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.

* Reduce size of common allocation header.Andres Freund2017-02-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new slab allocator needs different per-allocation information than the classical aset.c. The definition in 58b25e981 wasn't sufficiently careful on 32 platforms with 8 byte alignment, leading to buildfarm failures. That's not entirely easy to fix by just adjusting the definition. As slab.c doesn't actually need the size part(s) of the common header, all chunks are equally sized after all, it seems better to instead reduce the header to the part needed by all allocators, namely which context an allocation belongs to. That has the advantage of reducing the overhead of slab allocations, and also allows for more flexibility in future allocators. To avoid spreading the logic about accessing a chunk's context around, centralize it in GetMemoryChunkContext(), which allows to delete a good number of lines. A followup commit will revise the mmgr/README portion about StandardChunkHeader, and more. Author: Andres Freund Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20170228074420.aazv4iw6k562mnxg@alap3.anarazel.de
* Add "Slab" MemoryContext implementation for efficient equal-sized allocations.Andres Freund2017-02-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The default general purpose aset.c style memory context is not a great choice for allocations that are all going to be evenly sized, especially when those objects aren't small, and have varying lifetimes. There tends to be a lot of fragmentation, larger allocations always directly go to libc rather than have their cost amortized over several pallocs. These problems lead to the introduction of ad-hoc slab allocators in reorderbuffer.c. But it turns out that the simplistic implementation leads to problems when a lot of objects are allocated and freed, as aset.c is still the underlying implementation. Especially freeing can easily run into O(n^2) behavior in aset.c. While the O(n^2) behavior in aset.c can, and probably will, be addressed, custom allocators for this behavior are more efficient both in space and time. This allocator is for evenly sized allocations, and supports both cheap allocations and freeing, without fragmenting significantly. It does so by allocating evenly sized blocks via malloc(), and carves them into chunks that can be used for allocations. In order to release blocks to the OS as early as possible, chunks are allocated from the fullest block that still has free objects, increasing the likelihood of a block being entirely unused. A subsequent commit uses this in reorderbuffer.c, but a further allocator is needed to resolve the performance problems triggering this work. There likely are further potentialy uses of this allocator besides reorderbuffer.c. There's potential further optimizations of the new slab.c, in particular the array of freelists could be replaced by a more intelligent structure - but for now this looks more than good enough.

* Add macros to make AllocSetContextCreate() calls simpler and safer.Tom Lane2016-08-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I found that half a dozen (nearly 5%) of our AllocSetContextCreate calls had typos in the context-sizing parameters. While none of these led to especially significant problems, they did create minor inefficiencies, and it's now clear that expecting people to copy-and-paste those calls accurately is not a great idea. Let's reduce the risk of future errors by introducing single macros that encapsulate the common use-cases. Three such macros are enough to cover all but two special-purpose contexts; those two calls can be left as-is, I think. While this patch doesn't in itself improve matters for third-party extensions, it doesn't break anything for them either, and they can gradually adopt the simplified notation over time. In passing, change TopMemoryContext to use the default allocation parameters. Formerly it could only be extended 8K at a time. That was probably reasonable when this code was written; but nowadays we create many more contexts than we did then, so that it's not unusual to have a couple hundred K in TopMemoryContext, even without considering various dubious code that sticks other things there. There seems no good reason not to let it use growing blocks like most other contexts. Back-patch to 9.6, mostly because that's still close enough to HEAD that it's easy to do so, and keeping the branches in sync can be expected to avoid some future back-patching pain. The bugs fixed by these changes don't seem to be significant enough to justify fixing them further back. Discussion: <21072.1472321324@sss.pgh.pa.us>

* Limit the verbosity of memory context statistics dumps.Tom Lane2015-08-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We had a report from Stefan Kaltenbrunner of a case in which postmaster log files overran available disk space because multiple backends spewed enormous context stats dumps upon hitting an out-of-memory condition. Given the lack of similar reports, this isn't a common problem, but it still seems worth doing something about. However, we don't want to just blindly truncate the output, because that might prevent diagnosis of OOM problems. What seems like a workable compromise is to limit the dump to 100 child contexts per parent, and summarize the space used within any additional child contexts. That should help because practical cases where the dump gets long will typically be huge numbers of siblings under the same parent context; while the additional debugging value from seeing details about individual siblings beyond 100 will not be large, we hope. Anyway it doesn't take much code or memory space to do this, so let's try it like this and see how things go. Since the summarization mechanism requires passing totals back up anyway, I took the opportunity to add a "grand total" line to the end of the printout.
* Fix bogus "out of memory" reports in tuplestore.c.Tom Lane2015-08-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The tuplesort/tuplestore memory management logic assumed that the chunk allocation overhead for its memtuples array could not increase when increasing the array size. This is and always was true for tuplesort, but we (I, I think) blindly copied that logic into tuplestore.c without noticing that the assumption failed to hold for the much smaller array elements used by tuplestore. Given rather small work_mem, this could result in an improper complaint about "unexpected out-of-memory situation", as reported by Brent DeSpain in bug #13530. The easiest way to fix this is just to increase tuplestore's initial array size so that the assumption holds. Rather than relying on magic constants, though, let's export a #define from aset.c that represents the safe allocation threshold, and make tuplestore's calculation depend on that. Do the same in tuplesort.c to keep the logic looking parallel, even though tuplesort.c isn't actually at risk at present. This will keep us from breaking it if we ever muck with the allocation parameters in aset.c. Back-patch to all supported versions. The error message doesn't occur pre-9.3, not so much because the problem can't happen as because the pre-9.3 tuplestore code neglected to check for it. (The chance of trouble is a great deal larger as of 9.3, though, due to changes in the array-size-increasing strategy.) However, allowing LACKMEM() to become true unexpectedly could still result in less-than-desirable behavior, so let's patch it all the way back.
* Move memory context callback declarations into palloc.h.Tom Lane2015-03-01
| | | | | | | | | | Initial experience with this feature suggests that instances of MemoryContextCallback are likely to propagate into some widely-used headers over time. As things stood, that would result in pulling memutils.h or at least memnodes.h into common headers, which does not seem desirable. Instead, let's decide that this feature is part of the "ordinary palloc user" API rather than the "specialized context management" API, and as such should be declared in palloc.h not memutils.h.
* Redefine MemoryContextReset() as deleting, not resetting, child contexts.Tom Lane2015-02-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | That is, MemoryContextReset() now means what was formerly meant by MemoryContextResetAndDeleteChildren(), and the latter is now just a macro alias for the former. If you really want the functionality that was formerly provided by MemoryContextReset(), what you have to do is MemoryContextResetChildren() plus MemoryContextResetOnly() (which is a new API to reset *only* the named context and not touch its children). The reason for this change is that near fifteen years of experience has proven that there is noplace where old-style MemoryContextReset() is actually what you want. Making that the default behavior has led to lots of context-leakage bugs, while we've not found anyplace where it's actually necessary to keep the child contexts; at least the standard regression tests do not reveal anyplace where this change breaks anything. And there are upcoming patches that will introduce additional reasons why child contexts need to be removed. We could change existing calls of MemoryContextResetAndDeleteChildren to be just MemoryContextReset, but for the moment I'll leave them alone; they're not costing anything.
* Invent a memory context reset/delete callback mechanism.Tom Lane2015-02-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | This allows cleanup actions to be registered to be called just before a particular memory context's contents are flushed (either by deletion or MemoryContextReset). The patch in itself has no use-cases for this, but several likely reasons for wanting this exist. In passing, per discussion, rearrange some boolean fields in struct MemoryContextData so as to avoid wasted padding space. For safety, this requires making allowInCritSection's existence unconditional; but I think that's a better approach than what was there anyway.

* Redesign the plancache mechanism for more flexibility and efficiency.Tom Lane2011-09-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rewrite plancache.c so that a "cached plan" (which is rather a misnomer at this point) can support generation of custom, parameter-value-dependent plans, and can make an intelligent choice between using custom plans and the traditional generic-plan approach. The specific choice algorithm implemented here can probably be improved in future, but this commit is all about getting the mechanism in place, not the policy. In addition, restructure the API to greatly reduce the amount of extraneous data copying needed. The main compromise needed to make that possible was to split the initial creation of a CachedPlanSource into two steps. It's worth noting in particular that SPI_saveplan is now deprecated in favor of SPI_keepplan, which accomplishes the same end result with zero data copying, and no need to then spend even more cycles throwing away the original SPIPlan. The risk of long-term memory leaks while manipulating SPIPlans has also been greatly reduced. Most of this improvement is based on use of the recently-added MemoryContextSetParent primitive.

Still to do: fix up SPI and related code to use the plan cache; I'm tempted to try to make SQL functions use it too.
