* Fix heap_getattr() handling of fast defaults.Andres Freund2019-02-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously heap_getattr() returned NULL for attributes with a fast default value (c.f. 16828d5c0273), as it had no handling whatsoever for that case. A previous fix, 7636e5c60f, attempted to fix issues caused by this oversight, but just expanding OLD tuples for triggers doesn't actually solve the underlying issue. One known consequence of this bug is that the check for HOT updates can return the wrong result, when a previously fast-default'ed column is set to NULL. Which in turn means that an index over a column with fast default'ed columns might be corrupt if the underlying column(s) allow NULLs. Fix by handling fast default columns in heap_getattr(), remove now superfluous expansion in GetTupleForTrigger().

* Avoid creation of the free space map for small heap relations, take 2.Amit Kapila2019-02-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, all heaps had FSMs. For very small tables, this means that the FSM took up more space than the heap did. This is wasteful, so now we refrain from creating the FSM for heaps with 4 pages or fewer. If the last known target block has insufficient space, we still try to insert into some other page before giving up and extending the relation, since doing otherwise leads to table bloat. Testing showed that trying every page penalized performance slightly, so we compromise and try every other page. This way, we visit at most two pages. Any pages with wasted free space become visible at next relation extension, so we still control table bloat. As a bonus, directly attempting one or two pages can even be faster than consulting the FSM would have been. Once the FSM is created for a heap we don't remove it even if somebody deletes all the rows from the corresponding relation. We don't think it is a useful optimization as it is quite likely that relation will again grow to the same size.

* Add shared_memory_type GUC.Thomas Munro2019-02-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since 9.3 we have used anonymous shared mmap for our main shared memory region, except in EXEC_BACKEND builds. Provide a GUC so that users can opt for System V shared memory once again, like in 9.2 and earlier. A later patch proposes to add huge/large page support for AIX, which requires System V shared memory and provided the motivation to revive this possibility. It may also be useful on some BSDs.

* Allow RECORD and RECORD[] to be specified in function coldeflists.Tom Lane2019-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We can't allow these pseudo-types to be used as table column types, because storing an anonymous record value in a table would result in data that couldn't be understood by other sessions. However, it seems like there's no harm in allowing the case in a column definition list that's specifying what a function-returning-record returns. The data involved is all local to the current session, so we should be just as able to resolve its actual tuple type as we are for the function-returning-record's top-level tuple output.

* Rename nodes/relation.h to nodes/pathnodes.h.Tom Lane2019-01-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The old name of this file was never a very good indication of what it was for. Now that there's also access/relation.h, we have a potential confusion hazard as well, so let's rename it to something more apropos. Per discussion, "pathnodes.h" is reasonable, since a good fraction of the file is Path node definitions. While at it, tweak a couple of other headers that were gratuitously importing relation.h into modules that don't need it. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/7719.1548688728@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Refactor planner's header files.Tom Lane2019-01-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Create a new header optimizer/optimizer.h, which exposes just the planner functions that can be used "at arm's length", without need to access Paths or the other planner-internal data structures defined in nodes/relation.h. This is intended to provide the whole planner API seen by most of the rest of the system; although FDWs still need to use additional stuff, and more thought is also needed about just what selfuncs.c should rely on. The main point of doing this now is to limit the amount of new #include baggage that will be needed by "planner support functions", which I expect to introduce later, and which will be in relevant datatype modules rather than anywhere near the planner. This commit just moves relevant declarations into optimizer.h from other header files (a couple of which go away because everything got moved), and adjusts #include lists to match. There's further cleanup that could be done if we want to decide that some stuff being exposed by optimizer.h doesn't belong in the planner at all, but I'll leave that for another day.

* Make some small planner API cleanups.Tom Lane2019-01-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Move a few very simple node-creation and node-type-testing functions from the planner's clauses.c to nodes/makefuncs and nodes/nodeFuncs. There's nothing planner-specific about them, as evidenced by the number of other places that were using them. While at it, rename and_clause() etc to is_andclause() etc, to clarify that they are node-type-testing functions not node-creation functions. And use "static inline" implementations for the shortest ones. Also, modify flatten_join_alias_vars() and some subsidiary functions to take a Query not a PlannerInfo to define the join structure that Vars should be translated according to. They were only using the "parse" field of the PlannerInfo anyway, so this just requires removing one level of indirection. The advantage is that now parse_agg.c can use flatten_join_alias_vars() without the horrid kluge of creating an incomplete PlannerInfo, which will allow that file to be decoupled from relation.h in a subsequent patch.

* Fix LLVM related headers to compile standalone (to fix cpluspluscheck).Andres Freund2019-01-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously llvmjit.h #error'ed when USE_LLVM was not defined, to prevent it from being included from code not having #ifdef USE_LLVM guards - but that's not actually that useful after, during the development of JIT support, LLVM related code was moved into a separately compiled .so.

* In the planner, replace an empty FROM clause with a dummy RTE.Tom Lane2019-01-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The fact that "SELECT expression" has no base relations has long been a thorn in the side of the planner. It makes it hard to flatten a sub-query that looks like that, or is a trivial VALUES() item, because the planner generally uses relid sets to identify sub-relations, and such a sub-query would have an empty relid set if we flattened it. prepjointree.c contains some baroque logic that works around this in certain special cases --- but there is a much better answer. We can replace an empty FROM clause with a dummy RTE that acts like a table of one row and no columns, and then there are no such corner cases to worry about. Instead we need some logic to get rid of useless dummy RTEs, but that's simpler and covers more cases than what was there before. For really trivial cases, where the query is just "SELECT expression" and nothing else, there's a hazard that adding the extra RTE makes for a noticeable slowdown; even though it's not much processing, there's not that much for the planner to do overall. However testing says that the penalty is very small, close to the noise level. In more complex queries, this is able to find optimizations that we could not find before. The new RTE type is called RTE_RESULT, since the "scan" plan type it gives rise to is a Result node (the same plan we produced for a "SELECT expression" query before). To avoid confusion, rename the old ResultPath path type to GroupResultPath, reflecting that it's only used in degenerate grouping cases where we know the query produces just one grouped row. (It wouldn't work to unify the two cases, because there are different rules about where the associated quals live during query_planner.) Note: although this touches readfuncs.c, I don't think a catversion bump is required, because the added case can't occur in stored rules, only plans.

* Change function call information to be variable length.Andres Freund2019-01-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before this change FunctionCallInfoData, the struct arguments etc for V1 function calls are stored in, always had space for FUNC_MAX_ARGS/100 arguments, storing datums and their nullness in two arrays. For nearly every function call 100 arguments is far more than needed, therefore wasting memory. Arg and argnull being two separate arrays also guarantees that to access a single argument, two cachelines have to be touched. Change the layout so there's a single variable-length array with pairs of value / isnull. That drastically reduces memory consumption for most function calls (on x86-64 a two argument function now uses 64bytes, previously 936 bytes), and makes it very likely that argument value and its nullness are on the same cacheline. Arguments are stored in a new NullableDatum struct, which, due to padding, needs more memory per argument than before. But as usually far fewer arguments are stored, and individual arguments are cheaper to access, that's still a clear win. It's likely that there's other places where conversion to NullableDatum arrays would make sense, e.g. TupleTableSlots, but that's for another commit. Because the function call information is now variable-length allocations have to take the number of arguments into account. For heap allocations that can be done with SizeForFunctionCallInfoData(), for on-stack allocations there's a new LOCAL_FCINFO(name, nargs) macro that helps to allocate an appropriately sized and aligned variable. Some places with stack allocation function call information don't know the number of arguments at compile time, and currently variably sized stack allocations aren't allowed in postgres. Therefore allow for FUNC_MAX_ARGS space in these cases. They're not that common, so for now that seems acceptable. Because of the need to allocate FunctionCallInfo of the appropriate size, older extensions may need to update their code. To avoid subtle breakages, the FunctionCallInfoData struct has been renamed to FunctionCallInfoBaseData. Most code only references FunctionCallInfo, so that shouldn't cause much collateral damage. This change is also a prerequisite for more efficient expression JIT compilation (by allocating the function call information on the stack, allowing LLVM to optimize it away); previously the size of the call information caused problems inside LLVM's optimizer.

Thus add a new Snapshot->snapshot_type field, and move the dispatch into HeapTupleSatisfiesVisibility() (which is now a function). Later work will then dispatch calls to HeapTupleSatisfiesVisibility() and other AMs visibility functions depending on the type of the table. The central SnapshotType enum also seems like a good location to centralize documentation about the intended behaviour of various types of snapshots. As tqual.h isn't included by bufmgr.h any more (as HeapTupleSatisfies* isn't referenced by TestForOldSnapshot() anymore) a few files now need to include it directly.

* Introduce access/{table.h, relation.h}, for generic functions from heapam.h.Andres Freund2019-01-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | access/heapam contains functions that are very storage specific (say heap_insert() and a lot of lower level functions), and fairly generic infrastructure like relation_open(), heap_open() etc. In the upcoming pluggable storage work we're introducing a layer between table accesses in general and heapam, to allow for different storage methods. For a bit cleaner separation it thus seems advantageous to move generic functions like the aforementioned to their own headers. access/relation.h will contain relation_open() etc, and access/table.h will contain table_open() (formerly known as heap_open()). I've decided for table.h not to include relation.h, but we might change that at a later stage. relation.h already exists in another directory, but the other plausible name (rel.h) also conflicts. It'd be nice if there were a non-conflicting name, but nobody came up with a suggestion. It's possible that the appropriate way to address the naming conflict would be to rename nodes/relation.h, which isn't particularly well named. To avoid breaking a lot of extensions that just use heap_open() etc, table.h has macros mapping the old names to the new ones, and heapam.h includes relation, table.h. That also allows to keep the bulk renaming of existing callers in a separate commit. Author: Andres Freund Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20190111000539.xbv7s6w7ilcvm7dp@alap3.anarazel.de
* Avoid thread-safety problem in ecpglib.Tom Lane2019-01-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ecpglib attempts to force the LC_NUMERIC locale to "C" while reading server output, to avoid problems with strtod() and related functions. Historically it's just issued setlocale() calls to do that, but that has major problems if we're in a threaded application. setlocale() itself is not required by POSIX to be thread-safe (and indeed is not, on recent OpenBSD). Moreover, its effects are process-wide, so that we could cause unexpected results in other threads, or another thread could change our setting. On platforms having uselocale(), which is required by POSIX:2008, we can avoid these problems by using uselocale() instead. Windows goes its own way as usual, but we can make it safe by using _configthreadlocale(). Platforms having neither continue to use the old code, but that should be pretty much nobody among current systems. This should get back-patched, but let's see what the buildfarm thinks of it first.

* Restrict the use of temporary namespace in two-phase transactionsMichael Paquier2019-01-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Attempting to use a temporary table within a two-phase transaction is forbidden for ages. However, there have been uncovered grounds for a couple of other object types and commands which work on temporary objects with two-phase commit. In short, trying to create, lock or drop an object on a temporary schema should not be authorized within a two-phase transaction, as it would cause its state to create dependencies with other sessions, causing all sorts of side effects with the existing session or other sessions spawned later on trying to use the same temporary schema name. Regression tests are added to cover all the grounds found, the original report mentioned function creation, but monitoring closer there are many other patterns with LOCK, DROP or CREATE EXTENSION which are involved. One of the symptoms resulting in combining both is that the session which used the temporary schema is not able to shut down completely, waiting for being able to drop the temporary schema, something that it cannot complete because of the two-phase transaction involved with temporary objects.

* Don't include genam.h from execnodes.h and relscan.h anymore.Andres Freund2019-01-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the genam.h equivalent of 4c850ecec649c (which removed heapam.h from a lot of other headers). There's still a few header includes of genam.h, but not from central headers anymore. As a few headers are not indirectly included anymore, execnodes.h and relscan.h need a few additional includes. Some of the depended on types were replacable by using the underlying structs, but e.g. for Snapshot in execnodes.h that'd have gotten more invasive than reasonable in this commit. Like the aforementioned commit 4c850ecec649c, this requires adding new genam.h includes to a number of backend files, which likely is also required in a few external projects.

* Make naming of tupdesc related structs more consistent with the rest of PG.Andres Freund2019-01-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | We usually don't change the name of structs between the struct name itself and the name of the typedef. Additionally, structs that are usually used via a typedef that hides being a pointer, are commonly suffixed Data. Change tupdesc code to follow those convention. This is triggered by a future patch that intends to forward declare TupleDescData in another header - keeping with the naming scheme makes that easier to understand.

* Don't include heapam.h from others headers.Andres Freund2019-01-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | heapam.h previously was included in a number of widely used headers (e.g. execnodes.h, indirectly in executor.h, ...). That's problematic on its own, as heapam.h contains a lot of low-level details that don't need to be exposed that widely, but becomes more problematic with the upcoming introduction of pluggable table storage - it seems inappropriate for heapam.h to be included that widely afterwards. heapam.h was largely only included in other headers to get the HeapScanDesc typedef (which was defined in heapam.h, even though HeapScanDescData is defined in relscan.h). The better solution here seems to be to just use the underlying struct (forward declared where necessary). Similar for BulkInsertState. Another problem was that LockTupleMode was used in executor.h - parts of the file tried to cope without heapam.h, but due to the fact that it indirectly included it, several subsequent violations of that goal were not not noticed. We could just reuse the approach of declaring parameters as int, but it seems nicer to move LockTupleMode to lockoptions.h - that's not a perfect location, but also doesn't seem bad. As a number of files relied on implicitly included heapam.h, a significant number of files grew an explicit include. It's quite probably that a few external projects will need to do the same.

* Avoid sharing PARAM_EXEC slots between different levels of NestLoop.Tom Lane2019-01-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Up to now, createplan.c attempted to share PARAM_EXEC slots for NestLoopParams across different plan levels, if the same underlying Var was being fed down to different righthand-side subplan trees by different NestLoops. This was, I think, more of an artifact of using subselect.c's PlannerParamItem infrastructure than an explicit design goal, but anyway that was the end result. This works well enough as long as the plan tree is executing synchronously, but the feature whereby Gather can execute the parallelized subplan locally breaks it. An upper NestLoop node might execute for a row retrieved from a parallel worker, and assign a value for a PARAM_EXEC slot from that row, while the leader's copy of the parallelized subplan is suspended with a different active value of the row the Var comes from. When control eventually returns to the leader's subplan, it gets the wrong answers if the same PARAM_EXEC slot is being used within the subplan, as reported in bug #15577 from Bartosz Polnik. This is pretty reminiscent of the problem fixed in commit 46c508fbc, and the proper fix seems to be the same: don't try to share PARAM_EXEC slots across different levels of controlling NestLoop nodes. This requires decoupling NestLoopParam handling from PlannerParamItem handling, although the logic remains somewhat similar. To avoid bizarre division of labor between subselect.c and createplan.c, I decided to move all the param-slot-assignment logic for both cases out of those files and put it into a new file paramassign.c. Hopefully it's a bit better documented now, too. A regression test case for this might be nice, but we don't know a test case that triggers the problem with a suitably small amount of data. Back-patch to 9.6 where we added Gather nodes. It's conceivable that related problems exist in older branches; but without some evidence for that, I'll leave the older branches alone.

* pgbench: add \cset and \gset commandsAlvaro Herrera2019-01-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These commands allow assignment of values produced by queries to pgbench variables, where they can be used by further commands. \gset terminates a command sequence (just like a bare semicolon); \cset separates multiple queries in a compound command, like an escaped semicolon (\;). A prefix can be provided to the \-command and is prepended to the name of each output column to produce the final variable name. This feature allows pgbench scripts to react meaningfully to the actual database contents, allowing more powerful benchmarks to be written.

* Use perfect hashing, instead of binary search, for keyword lookup.Tom Lane2019-01-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We've been speculating for a long time that hash-based keyword lookup ought to be faster than binary search, but up to now we hadn't found a suitable tool for generating the hash function. Joerg Sonnenberger provided the inspiration, and sample code, to show us that rolling our own generator wasn't a ridiculous idea. Hence, do that. The method used here requires a lookup table of approximately 4 bytes per keyword, but that's less than what we saved in the predecessor commit afb0d0712, so it's not a big problem. The time savings is indeed significant: preliminary testing suggests that the total time for raw parsing (flex + bison phases) drops by ~20%. Patch by me, but it owes its existence to Joerg Sonnenberger; thanks also to John Naylor for review. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20190103163340.GA15803@britannica.bec.de
* Reduce the size of the fmgr_builtin_oid_index[] array.Tom Lane2019-01-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This index array was originally defined to have 10000 entries (ranging up to FirstGenbkiObjectId), but we really only need entries up to the last existing builtin function OID, currently 6121. That saves close to 8K of never-accessed space in the server executable, at the small price of one more fetch in fmgr_isbuiltin(). We could reduce the array size still further by renumbering a few of the highest-numbered builtin functions; but there's a small risk of breaking clients that have chosen to hardwire those function OIDs, so it's not clear if it'd be worth the trouble. (We should, however, discourage future patches from choosing function OIDs above 6K as long as there's still lots of space below that.) Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/12359.1547063064@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Replace the data structure used for keyword lookup.Tom Lane2019-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, ScanKeywordLookup was passed an array of string pointers. This had some performance deficiencies: the strings themselves might be scattered all over the place depending on the compiler (and some quick checking shows that at least with gcc-on-Linux, they indeed weren't reliably close together). That led to very cache-unfriendly behavior as the binary search touched strings in many different pages. Also, depending on the platform, the string pointers might need to be adjusted at program start, so that they couldn't be simple constant data. And the ScanKeyword struct had been designed with an eye to 32-bit machines originally; on 64-bit it requires 16 bytes per keyword, making it even more cache-unfriendly. Redesign so that the keyword strings themselves are allocated consecutively (as part of one big char-string constant), thereby eliminating the touch-lots-of-unrelated-pages syndrome. And get rid of the ScanKeyword array in favor of three separate arrays: uint16 offsets into the keyword array, uint16 token codes, and uint8 keyword categories. That reduces the overhead per keyword to 5 bytes instead of 16 (even less in programs that only need one of the token codes and categories); moreover, the binary search only touches the offsets array, further reducing its cache footprint. This also lets us put the token codes somewhere else than the keyword strings are, which avoids some unpleasant build dependencies. While we're at it, wrap the data used by ScanKeywordLookup into a struct that can be treated as an opaque type by most callers. That doesn't change things much right now, but it will make it less painful to switch to a hash-based lookup method, as is being discussed in the mailing list thread. Most of the change here is associated with adding a generator script that can build the new data structure from the same list-of-PG_KEYWORD header representation we used before. The PG_KEYWORD lists that plpgsql and ecpg used to embed in their scanner .c files have to be moved into headers, and the Makefiles have to be taught to invoke the generator script. This work is also necessary if we're to consider hash-based lookup, since the generator script is what would be responsible for constructing a hash table. Aside from saving a few kilobytes in each program that includes the keyword table, this seems to speed up raw parsing (flex+bison) by a few percent. So it's worth doing even as it stands, though we think we can gain even more with a follow-on patch to switch to hash-based lookup.
