* Adjust signature of walrcv_receive hook.Tom Lane2016-04-14
| | | | | | | | | | Commit 314cbfc5da988eff redefined the signature of this hook as typedef int (*walrcv_receive_type) (char **buffer, int *wait_fd); But in fact the type of the "wait_fd" variable ought to be pgsocket, which is what WaitLatchOrSocket expects, and which is necessary if we want to be able to assign PGINVALID_SOCKET to it on Windows. So fix that.

* Make init_spin_delay() C89 compliant and change stuck spinlock reporting.Andres Freund2016-04-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current definition of init_spin_delay (introduced recently in 48354581a) wasn't C89 compliant. It's not legal to refer to refer to non-constant expressions, and the ptr argument was one. This, as reported by Tom, lead to a failure on buildfarm animal pademelon. The pointer, especially on system systems with ASLR, isn't super helpful anyway, though. So instead of making init_spin_delay into an inline function, make s_lock_stuck() report the function name in addition to file:line and change init_spin_delay() accordingly. While not a direct replacement, the function name is likely more useful anyway (line numbers are often hard to interpret in third party reports). This also fixes what file/line number is reported for waits via s_lock(). As PG_FUNCNAME_MACRO is now used outside of elog.h, move it to c.h.

* Avoid atomic operation in MarkLocalBufferDirty().Andres Freund2016-04-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The recent patch to make Pin/UnpinBuffer lockfree in the hot path (48354581a), accidentally used pg_atomic_fetch_or_u32() in MarkLocalBufferDirty(). Other code operating on local buffers was careful to only use pg_atomic_read/write_u32 which just read/write from memory; to avoid unnecessary overhead. On its own that'd just make MarkLocalBufferDirty() slightly less efficient, but in addition InitLocalBuffers() doesn't call pg_atomic_init_u32() - thus the spinlock fallback for the atomic operations isn't initialized. That in turn caused, as reported by Tom, buildfarm animal gaur to fail. As those errors are actually useful against this type of error, continue to omit - intentionally this time - initialization of the atomic variable. In addition, add an explicit note about only using pg_atomic_read/write on local buffers's state to BufferDesc's description. Reported-By: Tom Lane Discussion: 1881.1460431476@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Widen amount-to-flush arguments of FileWriteback and callers.Tom Lane2016-04-13

* Provide errno-translation wrappers around bind() and listen() on Windows.Tom Lane2016-04-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | I've seen one too many "could not bind IPv4 socket: No error" log entries from the Windows buildfarm members. Per previous discussion, this is likely caused by the fact that we're doing nothing to translate WSAGetLastError() to errno. Put in a wrapper layer to do that. If this works as expected, it should get back-patched, but let's see what happens in the buildfarm first. Discussion: <4065.1452450340@sss.pgh.pa.us>

* Redefine create_upper_paths_hook as being invoked once per upper relation.Tom Lane2016-04-12

* Improve API of GenericXLogRegister().Tom Lane2016-04-12

Also, replace its "bool isNew" argument with an integer flags argument, so as to allow adding more flags in future without an API break. Alexander Korotkov, adjusted slightly by me
* Use static inline function for BufferGetPage()Kevin Grittner2016-04-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | I was initially concerned that the some of the hundreds of references to BufferGetPage() where the literal BGP_NO_SNAPSHOT_TEST were passed might not optimize as well as a macro, leading to some hard-to-find performance regressions in corner cases. Inspection of disassembled code has shown identical code at all inspected locations, and the size difference doesn't amount to even one byte per such call. So make it readable.

* Avoid the use of a separate spinlock to protect a LWLock's wait queue.Andres Freund2016-04-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously we used a spinlock, in adition to the atomically manipulated ->state field, to protect the wait queue. But it's pretty simple to instead perform the locking using a flag in state. Due to 6150a1b0 BufferDescs, on platforms (like PPC) with > 1 byte spinlocks, increased their size above 64byte. As 64 bytes are the size we pad allocated BufferDescs to, this can increase false sharing; causing performance problems in turn. Together with the previous commit this reduces the size to <= 64 bytes on all common platforms.

* Allow Pin/UnpinBuffer to operate in a lockfree manner.Andres Freund2016-04-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Pinning/Unpinning a buffer is a very frequent operation; especially in read-mostly cache resident workloads. Benchmarking shows that in various scenarios the spinlock protecting a buffer header's state becomes a significant bottleneck. The problem can be reproduced with pgbench -S on larger machines, but can be considerably worse for queries which touch the same buffers over and over at a high frequency (e.g. nested loops over a small inner table). To allow atomic operations to be used, cram BufferDesc's flags, usage_count, buf_hdr_lock, refcount into a single 32bit atomic variable; that allows to manipulate them together using 32bit compare-and-swap operations. This requires reducing MAX_BACKENDS to 2^18-1 (which could be lifted by using a 64bit field, but it's not a realistic configuration atm). As not all operations can easily implemented in a lockfree manner, implement the previous buf_hdr_lock via a flag bit in the atomic variable. That way we can continue to lock the header in places where it's needed, but can get away without acquiring it in the more frequent hot-paths. There's some additional operations which can be done without the lock, but aren't in this patch; but the most important places are covered. As bufmgr.c now essentially re-implements spinlocks, abstract the delay logic from s_lock.c into something more generic. It now has already two users, and more are coming up; there's a follupw patch for lwlock.c at least. This patch is based on a proof-of-concept written by me, which Alexander Korotkov made into a fully working patch; the committed version is again revised by me. Benchmarking and testing has, amongst others, been provided by Dilip Kumar, Alexander Korotkov, Robert Haas. On a large x86 system improvements for readonly pgbench, with a high client count, of a factor of 8 have been observed.

* Get rid of GenericXLogUnregister().Tom Lane2016-04-09
| | | | | | | | | | | This routine is unsafe as implemented, because it invalidates the page image pointers returned by previous GenericXLogRegister() calls. Rather than complicate the API or the implementation to avoid that, let's just get rid of it; the use-case for having it seems much too thin to justify a lot of work here. While at it, do some wordsmithing on the SGML docs for generic WAL.

* Support \crosstabview in psqlAlvaro Herrera2016-04-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | \crosstabview is a completely different way to display results from a query: instead of a vertical display of rows, the data values are placed in a grid where the column and row headers come from the data itself, similar to a spreadsheet. The sort order of the horizontal header can be specified by using another column in the query, and the vertical header determines its ordering from the order in which they appear in the query. This only allows displaying a single value in each cell. If more than one value correspond to the same cell, an error is thrown. Merging of values can be done in the query itself, if necessary. This may be revisited in the future. Author: Daniel Verité Reviewed-by: Pavel Stehule, Dean Rasheed
* Expose more out/readfuncs support functions.Andres Freund2016-04-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously bcac23d exposed a subset of support functions, namely the ones Kaigai found useful. In 20160304193704.elq773pyg5fyl3mi@alap3.anarazel.de I mentioned that there's some functions missing to use the facility in an external project. To avoid having to add functions piecemeal, add all the functions which are used to define READ_* and WRITE_* macros; users of the extensible node functionality are likely to need these. Additionally expose outDatum(), which doesn't have it's own WRITE_ macro, as it needs information from the embedding struct. Discussion: 20160304193704.elq773pyg5fyl3mi@alap3.anarazel.de

* Add the "snapshot too old" featureKevin Grittner2016-04-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This feature is controlled by a new old_snapshot_threshold GUC. A value of -1 disables the feature, and that is the default. The value of 0 is just intended for testing. Above that it is the number of minutes a snapshot can reach before pruning and vacuum are allowed to remove dead tuples which the snapshot would otherwise protect. The xmin associated with a transaction ID does still protect dead tuples. A connection which is using an "old" snapshot does not get an error unless it accesses a page modified recently enough that it might not be able to produce accurate results. This is similar to the Oracle feature, and we use the same SQLSTATE and error message for compatibility.
* Modify BufferGetPage() to prepare for "snapshot too old" featureKevin Grittner2016-04-08
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch is a no-op patch which is intended to reduce the chances of failures of omission once the functional part of the "snapshot too old" patch goes in. It adds parameters for snapshot, relation, and an enum to specify whether the snapshot age check needs to be done for the page at this point. This initial patch passes NULL for the first two new parameters and BGP_NO_SNAPSHOT_TEST for the third. The follow-on patch will change the places where the test needs to be made.

* Use Foreign Key relationships to infer multi-column join selectivitySimon Riggs2016-04-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In cases where joins use multiple columns we currently assess each join separately causing gross mis-estimates for join cardinality. This patch adds use of FK information for the first time into the planner. When FKs are present and we have multi-column join information, plan estimates will be drastically improved. Cases with multiple FKs are handled, though partial matches are ignored currently. Net effect is substantial performance improvements for joins in many common cases. Additional planning time is isolated to cases that are currently performing poorly, measured at 0.08 - 0.15 ms.

* Support multiple synchronous standby servers.Fujii Masao2016-04-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously synchronous replication offered only the ability to confirm that all changes made by a transaction had been transferred to at most one synchronous standby server. This commit extends synchronous replication so that it supports multiple synchronous standby servers. It enables users to consider one or more standby servers as synchronous, and increase the level of transaction durability by ensuring that transaction commits wait for replies from all of those synchronous standbys. Multiple synchronous standby servers are configured in synchronous_standby_names which is extended to support new syntax of 'num_sync ( standby_name [ , ... ] )', where num_sync specifies the number of synchronous standbys that transaction commits need to wait for replies from and standby_name is the name of a standby server. The syntax of 'standby_name [ , ... ]' which was used in 9.5 or before is also still supported. It's the same as new syntax with num_sync=1. This commit doesn't include "quorum commit" feature which was discussed in pgsql-hackers. Synchronous standbys are chosen based on their priorities. synchronous_standby_names determines the priority of each standby for being chosen as a synchronous standby. The standbys whose names appear earlier in the list are given higher priority and will be considered as synchronous. Other standby servers appearing later in this list represent potential synchronous standbys. The regression test for multiple synchronous standbys is not included in this commit. It should come later.

* Implement backup API functions for non-exclusive backupsMagnus Hagander2016-04-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously non-exclusive backups had to be done using the replication protocol and pg_basebackup. With this commit it's now possible to make them using pg_start_backup/pg_stop_backup as well, as long as the backup program can maintain a persistent connection to the database. Doing this, backup_label and tablespace_map are returned as results from pg_stop_backup() instead of being written to the data directory. This makes the server safe from a crash during an ongoing backup, which can be a problem with exclusive backups. The old syntax of the functions remain and work exactly as before, but since the new syntax is safer this should eventually be deprecated and removed. Only reference documentation is included. The main section on backup still needs to be rewritten to cover this, but since that is already scheduled for a separate large rewrite, it's not included in this patch.

At some point it might be interesting to allow a LOG_ONLY flag to be attached to any elevel, but that would be considerably more complicated, and it's not clear there's enough use-cases to justify the extra work.
