* Fix setrefs.c comment properly.Tom Lane2015-09-10
| | | | | | | | The "typo" alleged in commit 1e460d4bd was actually a comment that was correct when written, but I missed updating it in commit b5282aa89. Use a slightly less specific (and hopefully more future-proof) description of what is collected. Back-patch to 9.2 where that commit appeared, and revert the comment to its then-entirely-correct state before that.

* Fix minor bug in regexp makesearch() function.Tom Lane2015-09-09
| | | | | | | | The list-wrangling here was done wrong, allowing the same state to get put into the list twice. The following loop then would clone it twice. The second clone would wind up with no inarcs, so that there was no observable misbehavior AFAICT, but a useless state in the finished NFA isn't an especially good thing.

* Microvacuum for GISTTeodor Sigaev2015-09-09
| | | | | | | | | | | Mark index tuple as dead if it's pointed by kill_prior_tuple during ordinary (search) scan and remove it during insert process if there is no enough space for new tuple to insert. This improves select performance because index will not return tuple marked as dead and improves insert performance because it reduces number of page split.

* Remove files signaling a standby promotion request at postmaster startupFujii Masao2015-09-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit makes postmaster forcibly remove the files signaling a standby promotion request. Otherwise, the existence of those files can trigger a promotion too early, whether a user wants that or not. This removal of files is usually unnecessary because they can exist only during a few moments during a standby promotion. However there is a race condition: if pg_ctl promote is executed and creates the files during a promotion, the files can stay around even after the server is brought up to new master. Then, if new standby starts by using the backup taken from that master, the files can exist at the server startup and should be removed in order to avoid an unexpected promotion. Back-patch to 9.1 where promote signal file was introduced. Problem reported by Feike Steenbergen. Original patch by Michael Paquier, modified by me.

* Lock all relations referred to in updatable viewsStephen Frost2015-09-08

* In the pg_rewind test suite, receive WAL fully before promoting.Noah Misch2015-09-07
| | | | | | | | | | If a transaction never reaches the standby, later tests find unexpected cluster state. A "tail-copy: query result matches" test failure has been the usual symptom.

* Coordinate log_line_prefix options 'm' and 'n' to share a timeval.Jeff Davis2015-09-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit f828654e introduced the 'n' option, but it invoked gettimeofday() independently of the 'm' option. If both options were in use (or multiple 'n' options), or if 'n' was in use along with csvlog, then the reported times could be different for the same log message. To fix, initialize a global variable with gettimeofday() once per log message, and use that for both formats. Don't bother coordinating the time for the 't' option, which has much lower resolution. Per complaint by Alvaro Herrera.

* Make GIN's cleanup pending list process interruptableTeodor Sigaev2015-09-07
| | | | | | | | | | | Cleanup process could be called by ordinary insert/update and could take a lot of time. Add vacuum_delay_point() to make this process interruptable. Under vacuum this call will also throttle a vacuum process to decrease system load, called from insert/update it will not throttle, and that reduces a latency. Backpatch for all supported branches.

| | | | | | | | | Add pages deleted from GIN's pending list during cleanup to free space map immediately.

* Add ability to reserve WAL upon slot creation via replication protocol.Andres Freund2015-09-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since 6fcd885 it is possible to immediately reserve WAL when creating a slot via pg_create_physical_replication_slot(). Extend the replication protocol to allow that as well. Although, in contrast to the SQL interface, it is possible to update the reserved location via the replication interface, it is still useful being able to reserve upon creation there. Otherwise the logic in ReplicationSlotReserveWal() has to be repeated in slot employing clients. Author: Michael Paquier Discussion: CAB7nPqT0Wc1W5mdYGeJ_wbutbwNN+3qgrFR64avXaQCiJMGaYA@mail.gmail.com

| | | | | | | | | This has been broken since 9.3 (commit 82b1b213cad3a69c to be exact), which suggests that nobody is any longer using a Windows build system that doesn't provide a symlink emulation. Still, it's wrong on its own terms, so repair. YUriy Zhuravlev
* Rearrange the handling of error context reports.Tom Lane2015-09-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove the code in plpgsql that suppressed the innermost line of CONTEXT for messages emitted by RAISE commands. That was never more than a quick backwards-compatibility hack, and it's pretty silly in cases where the RAISE is nested in several levels of function. What's more, it violated our design theory that verbosity of error reports should be controlled on the client side not the server side. To alleviate the resulting noise increase, introduce a feature in libpq and psql whereby the CONTEXT field of messages can be suppressed, either always or only for non-error messages. Printing CONTEXT for errors only is now their default behavior. The actual code changes here are pretty small, but the effects on the regression test outputs are widespread. I had to edit some of the alternative expected outputs by hand; hopefully the buildfarm will soon find anything I fat-fingered. In passing, fix up (again) the output line counts in psql's various help displays. Add some commentary about how to verify them. Pavel Stehule, reviewed by Petr Jelínek, Jeevan Chalke, and others

* Fix subtransaction cleanup after an outer-subtransaction portal fails.Tom Lane2015-09-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Formerly, we treated only portals created in the current subtransaction as having failed during subtransaction abort. However, if the error occurred while running a portal created in an outer subtransaction (ie, a cursor declared before the last savepoint), that has to be considered broken too. To allow reliable detection of which ones those are, add a bookkeeping field to struct Portal that tracks the innermost subtransaction in which each portal has actually been executed. (Without this, we'd end up failing portals containing functions that had called the subtransaction, thereby breaking plpgsql exception blocks completely.) In addition, when we fail an outer-subtransaction Portal, transfer its resources into the subtransaction's resource owner, so that they're released early in cleanup of the subxact. This fixes a problem reported by Jim Nasby in which a function executed in an outer-subtransaction cursor could cause an Assert failure or crash by referencing a relation created within the inner subtransaction. The proximate cause of the Assert failure is that AtEOSubXact_RelationCache assumed it could blow away a relcache entry without first checking that the entry had zero refcount. That was a bad idea on its own terms, so add such a check there, and to the similar coding in AtEOXact_RelationCache. This provides an independent safety measure in case there are still ways to provoke the situation despite the Portal-level changes. This has been broken since subtransactions were invented, so back-patch to all supported branches. Tom Lane and Michael Paquier
* Assorted code review for recent ProcArrayLock patch.Robert Haas2015-09-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Post-commit review by Andres Freund discovered a couple of concurrency bugs in the original patch: specifically, if the leader cleared a follower's XID before it reached PGSemaphoreLock, the semaphore would be left in the wrong state; and if another process did PGSemaphoreUnlock for some unrelated reason, we might resume execution before the fact that our XID was cleared was globally visible. Also, improve the wording of some comments, rename nextClearXidElem to firstClearXidElem in PROC_HDR for clarity, and drop some volatile qualifiers that aren't necessary. Amit Kapila, reviewed and slightly revised by me.
* Document that max_worker_processes must be high enough in standby.Fujii Masao2015-09-03
| | | | | | | | | The setting values of some parameters including max_worker_processes must be equal to or higher than the values on the master.

* Disable fsync throughout TAP test suites.Noah Misch2015-09-03
| | | | | | | | | Most suites already did so via start_test_server(), but the pg_rewind, pg_ctl and pg_controldata suites ran a postmaster or initdb with fsync enabled. This halves the pg_rewind suite's runtime on buildfarm member tern. It makes tern and that machine's other buildfarm members less vulnerable to noise failures from postmaster startup overrunning the 60s pg_ctl timeout. Back-patch to 9.5, where pg_rewind was introduced.

It increases limit of posting list from 180 millions (1GB / sizeof(ItemPointerData)) to 4 billions limited by maxcount/count fields in GinEntryAccumulator and subsequent calls. Check added. Also, fix accounting of allocatedMemory during build to prevent integer overflow with maintenance_work_mem > 4GB. Robert Abraham <robert.abraham86@googlemail.com> with additions by me

* Allow notifications to bgworkers without database connections.Robert Haas2015-09-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, if one background worker registered another background worker and set bgw_notify_pid while for the second background worker, it would not receive notifications from the postmaster unless, at the time the "parent" was registered, BGWORKER_BACKEND_DATABASE_CONNECTION was set. To fix, instead instead of including only those background workers that requested database connections in the postmater's BackendList, include them all. There doesn't seem to be any reason not do this, and indeed it removes a significant amount of duplicated code. The other option is to make PostmasterMarkPIDForWorkerNotify look at BackgroundWorkerList in addition to BackendList, but that adds more code duplication instead of getting rid of it. Patch by me. Review and testing by Ashutosh Bapat.
* Clean up icc + ia64 situation.Tom Lane2015-08-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some googling turned up multiple sources saying that older versions of icc do not accept gcc-compatible asm blocks on IA64, though asm does work on x86[_64]. This is apparently fixed as of icc version 12.0 or so, but that doesn't help us much; if we have to carry the extra implementation anyway, we may as well just use it for icc rather than add a compiler version test. Hence, revert commit 2c713d6ea29c91cd2cbd92fa801a61e55ea2a3c4 (though I separated the icc code from the gcc code completely, producing what seems cleaner code). Document the state of affairs more explicitly, both in s_lock.h and postgres.c, and make some cosmetic adjustments around the IA64 code in s_lock.h.
* Allow icc to use the same atomics infrastructure as gcc.Tom Lane2015-08-31
| | | | | | | | | | | The atomics headers were written under the impression that icc doesn't handle gcc-style asm blocks, but this is demonstrably false on x86_[64], because s_lock.h has done it that way for more than a decade. (The jury is still out on whether this also works on ia64, so I'm leaving ia64-related code alone for the moment.) Treat gcc and icc the same in these headers. This is less code and it should improve the results for icc, because we hadn't gotten around to providing icc-specific implementations for most of the atomics.

* Remove theoretically-unnecessary special case for icc.Tom Lane2015-08-31
| | | | | | | | Intel's icc is generally able to swallow asm blocks written for gcc. We have a few places that don't seem to know that, though. Experiment with removing the special case for icc in ia64_get_bsp(); if the buildfarm likes this, I'll try more cleanup. This is a good test case because it involves a "stop" notation that seems like it might not be very portable.
* Remove support for Unix systems without the POSIX signal APIs.Tom Lane2015-08-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove configure's checks for HAVE_POSIX_SIGNALS, HAVE_SIGPROCMASK, and HAVE_SIGSETJMP. These APIs are required by the Single Unix Spec v2 (POSIX 1997), which we generally consider to define our minimum required set of Unix APIs. Moreover, no buildfarm member has reported not having them since 2012 or before, which means that even if the code is still live somewhere, it's untested --- and we've made plenty of signal-handling changes of late. So just take these APIs as given and save the cycles for configure probes for them. However, we can't remove as much C code as I'd hoped, because the Windows port evidently still uses the non-POSIX code paths for signal masking. Since we're largely emulating these BSD-style APIs for Windows anyway, it might be a good thing to switch over to POSIX-like notation and thereby remove a few more #ifdefs. But I'm not in a position to code or test that. In the meantime, we can at least make things a bit more transparent by testing for WIN32 explicitly in these places.

* Remove long-dead support for platforms without sig_atomic_t.Tom Lane2015-08-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | C89 requires <signal.h> to define sig_atomic_t, and there is no evidence in the buildfarm that any supported platforms don't comply. Remove the configure test to stop wasting build cycles on a purely historical issue. (Once upon a time, we cared about supporting C89-compliant compilers on machines with pre-C89 system headers, but that use-case has been dead for quite a few years.) I have some other fixes planned in this area, but let's start with this to see if the buildfarm produces any surprising results.
* Fix s_lock.h PPC assembly code to be compatible with native AIX assembler.Tom Lane2015-08-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On recent AIX it's necessary to configure gcc to use the native assembler (because the GNU assembler hasn't been updated to handle AIX 6+). This caused PG builds to fail with assembler syntax errors, because we'd try to compile s_lock.h's gcc asm fragment for PPC, and that assembly code relied on GNU-style local labels. We can't substitute normal labels because it would fail in any file containing more than one inlined use of tas(). Fortunately, that code is stable enough, and the PPC ISA is simple enough, that it doesn't seem like too much of a maintenance burden to just hand-code the branch offsets, removing the need for any labels. Note that the AIX assembler only accepts "$" for the location counter pseudo-symbol. The usual GNU convention is "."; but it appears that all versions of gas for PPC also accept "$", so in theory this patch will not break any other PPC platforms. This has been reported by a few people, but Steve Underwood gets the credit for being the first to pursue the problem far enough to understand why it was failing. Thanks also to Noah Misch for additional testing.

| | | | | The Perl chmod function already takes multiple file arguments, so we don't need a separate looping function.
* Speed up HeapTupleSatisfiesMVCC() by replacing the XID-in-progress test.Tom Lane2015-08-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rather than consulting TransactionIdIsInProgress to see if an in-doubt transaction is still running, consult XidInMVCCSnapshot. That requires the same or fewer cycles as TransactionIdIsInProgress, and what's far more important, it does not access shared data structures (at least in the no-subxip-overflow case) so it incurs no contention. Furthermore, we would have had to check XidInMVCCSnapshot anyway before deciding that we were allowed to see the tuple. There should never be a case where XidInMVCCSnapshot says a transaction is done while TransactionIdIsInProgress says it's still running. The other way around is quite possible though. The result of that difference is that HeapTupleSatisfiesMVCC will no longer set hint bits on tuples whose source transactions recently finished but are still running according to our snapshot. The main cost of delaying the hint-bit setting is that repeated visits to a just-committed tuple, by transactions none of which have snapshots new enough to see the source transaction as done, will each execute TransactionIdIsCurrentTransactionId, which they need not have done before. However, that's normally just a small overhead, and no contention costs are involved; so it seems well worth the benefit of removing TransactionIdIsInProgress calls during the life of the source transaction. The core idea for this patch is due to Jeff Janes, who also did the legwork proving its performance benefits. His original proposal was to swap the order of TransactionIdIsInProgress and XidInMVCCSnapshot calls in some cases within HeapTupleSatisfiesMVCC. That was a bit messy though. The idea that we could dispense with calling TransactionIdIsInProgress altogether was mine, as is the final patch.
* Reestablish alignment of pg_controldata output.Joe Conway2015-08-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | Until 9.4, pg_controldata output was all aligned. At some point during 9.5 development, a new item was added, namely "Current track_commit_timestamp setting:" which is two characters too long to be aligned with the rest of the output. Fix this by removing the noise word "Current" and adding the requisite number of padding spaces. Since the six preceding items are also similar in nature, remove "Current" and pad those as well in order to maintain overall consistency. Backpatch to 9.5 where new offending item was added.
* Further tweak wording of error messages about bad CONTINUE/EXIT statements.Tom Lane2015-08-25
| | | | Per discussion, a little more verbosity seems called for.
* 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 potential platform dependence in gist regression test.Tom Lane2015-08-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The results of the KNN-search test cases were indeterminate, as they asked the system to sort pairs of points that are exactly equidistant from the query reference point. It's a bit surprising that we've seen no platform-specific failures from this in the buildfarm. Perhaps IEEE-float math is well enough standardized that no such failures will ever occur on supported platforms ... but since this entire regression test has yet to be shipped in any non-alpha release, that seems like an unduly optimistic assumption. Tweak the queries so that the correct output is uniquely defined. (The other queries in this test are also underdetermined; but it looks like they are regurgitating index rows in insertion order, so for the moment assume that that behavior is stable enough.) Per Greg Stark's experiments with VAX. Back-patch to 9.5 where this test script was introduced.

* Reduce number of bytes examined by convert_one_string_to_scalar().Tom Lane2015-08-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, convert_one_string_to_scalar() would examine up to 20 bytes of the input string, producing a scalar conversion with theoretical precision far greater than is of any possible use considering the other limitations on the accuracy of the resulting selectivity estimate. (I think this choice might pre-date the caller-level logic that strips any common prefix of the strings; before that, there could have been value in scanning the strings far enough to use all the precision available in a double.) Aside from wasting cycles to little purpose, this choice meant that the "denom" variable could grow to as much as 256^21 = 3.74e50, which could overflow in some non-IEEE float arithmetics. While we don't really support any machines with non-IEEE arithmetic anymore, this still seems like quite an unnecessary platform dependency. Limit the scan to 12 bytes instead, thus limiting "denom" to 256^13 = 2.03e31, a value more likely to be computable everywhere. Per testing by Greg Stark, which showed overflow failures in our standard regression tests on VAX.
