* Improve handling of ereport(ERROR) and elog(ERROR).Tom Lane2013-01-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In commit 71450d7fd6c7cf7b3e38ac56e363bff6a681973c, we added code to inform suitably-intelligent compilers that ereport() doesn't return if the elevel is ERROR or higher. This patch extends that to elog(), and also fixes a double-evaluation hazard that the previous commit created in ereport(), as well as reducing the emitted code size. The elog() improvement requires the compiler to support __VA_ARGS__, which should be available in just about anything nowadays since it's required by C99. But our minimum language baseline is still C89, so add a configure test for that. The previous commit assumed that ereport's elevel could be evaluated twice, which isn't terribly safe --- there are already counterexamples in xlog.c. On compilers that have __builtin_constant_p, we can use that to protect the second test, since there's no possible optimization gain if the compiler doesn't know the value of elevel. Otherwise, use a local variable inside the macros to prevent double evaluation. The local-variable solution is inferior because (a) it leads to useless code being emitted when elevel isn't constant, and (b) it increases the optimization level needed for the compiler to recognize that subsequent code is unreachable. But it seems better than not teaching non-gcc compilers about unreachability at all. Lastly, if the compiler has __builtin_unreachable(), we can use that instead of abort(), resulting in a noticeable code savings since no function call is actually emitted. However, it seems wise to do this only in non-assert builds. In an assert build, continue to use abort(), so that the behavior will be predictable and debuggable if the "impossible" happens. These changes involve making the ereport and elog macros emit do-while statement blocks not just expressions, which forces small changes in a few call sites.

* Extend and improve use of EXTRA_REGRESS_OPTS.Andrew Dunstan2013-01-12
| | | | | | | | | | This is now used by ecpg tests, and not clobbered by pg_upgrade tests. This change won't affect anything that doesn't set this environment variable, but will enable the buildfarm to control exactly what port regression test installs will be running on, and thus to detect possible rogue postmasters more easily. Backpatch to release 9.2 where EXTRA_REGRESS_OPTS was first used.
* Redesign the planner's handling of index-descent cost estimation.Tom Lane2013-01-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Historically we've used a couple of very ad-hoc fudge factors to try to get the right results when indexes of different sizes would satisfy a query with the same number of index leaf tuples being visited. In commit 21a39de5809cd3050a37d2554323cc1d0cbeed9d I tweaked one of these fudge factors, with results that proved disastrous for larger indexes. Commit bf01e34b556ff37982ba2d882db424aa484c0d07 fudged it some more, but still with not a lot of principle behind it. What seems like a better way to address these issues is to explicitly model index-descent costs, since that's what's really at stake when considering diferent indexes with similar leaf-page-level costs. We tried that once long ago, and found that charging random_page_cost per page descended through was way too much, because upper btree levels tend to stay in cache in real-world workloads. However, there's still CPU costs to think about, and the previous fudge factors can be seen as a crude attempt to account for those costs. So this patch replaces those fudge factors with explicit charges for the number of tuple comparisons needed to descend the index tree, plus a small charge per page touched in the descent. The cost multipliers are chosen so that the resulting charges are in the vicinity of the historical (pre-9.2) fudge factors for indexes of up to about a million tuples, while not ballooning unreasonably beyond that, as the old fudge factor did (even more so in 9.2). To make this work accurately for btree indexes, add some code that allows extraction of the known root-page height from a btree. There's no equivalent number readily available for other index types, but we can use the log of the number of index pages as an approximate substitute. This seems like too much of a behavioral change to risk back-patching, but it should improve matters going forward. In 9.2 I'll just revert the fudge-factor change.
* Detect Windows perl linkage parameters in configure script.Andrew Dunstan2013-01-09
| | | | | | This means we can now construct a configure test for the library presence. Previously these parameters were only figured out at build time in plperl's GnuMakefile.

* Fix potential corruption of lock table in CREATE/DROP INDEX CONCURRENTLY.Tom Lane2013-01-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If VirtualXactLock() has to wait for a transaction that holds its VXID lock as a fast-path lock, it must first convert the fast-path lock to a regular lock. It failed to take the required "partition" lock on the main shared-memory lock table while doing so. This is the direct cause of the assert failure in GetLockStatusData() recently observed in the buildfarm, but more worryingly it could result in arbitrary corruption of the shared lock table if some other process were concurrently engaged in modifying the same partition of the lock table. Fortunately, VirtualXactLock() is only used by CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY and DROP INDEX CONCURRENTLY, so the opportunities for failure are fewer than they might have been. In passing, improve some comments and be a bit more consistent about order of operations.

| | | | | | | | | Adds commandline option -R to pg_basebackup that creates a recovery.conf which enables standby mode using the same parameters that pg_basebackup used to connect to the master, and writes it into the output directory (or injects it in the tar file when tar format is used).

* PL/Python: Make build on OS X more flexiblePeter Eisentraut2013-01-05
| | | | | | | | | | | The PL/Python build on OS X was previously hardcoded to use the system installation of Python, ignoring whatever was specified to configure. Except that it would use the header files from configure, which could lead to mismatches. It was not possible to build against a custom Python installation. Now, we check in configure how the specified Python installation was built and use that, supporting framework and non-framework builds.

* Invent a "one-shot" variant of CachedPlans for better performance.Tom Lane2013-01-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | SPI_execute() and related functions create a CachedPlan, execute it once, and immediately discard it, so that the functionality offered by plancache.c is of no value in this code path. And performance measurements show that the extra data copying and invalidation checking done by plancache.c slows down simple queries by 10% or more compared to 9.1. However, enough of the SPI code is shared with functions that do need plan caching that it seems impractical to bypass plancache.c altogether. Instead, let's invent a variant version of cached plans that preserves 99% of the API but doesn't offer any of the actual functionality, nor the overhead. This puts SPI_execute() performance back on par, or maybe even slightly better, than it was before. This change should resolve recent complaints of performance degradation from Dong Ye, Pavel Stehule, and others. By avoiding data copying, this change also reduces the amount of memory needed to execute many-statement SPI_execute() strings, as for instance in a recent complaint from Tomas Vondra. An additional benefit of this change is that multi-statement SPI_execute() query strings are now processed fully serially, that is we complete execution of earlier statements before running parse analysis and planning on following ones. This eliminates a long-standing POLA violation, in that DDL that affects the behavior of a later statement will now behave as expected. Back-patch to 9.2, since this was a performance regression compared to 9.1. (In 9.2, place the added struct fields so as to avoid changing the offsets of existing fields.)

* Tolerate timeline switches while "pg_basebackup -X fetch" is running.Heikki Linnakangas2013-01-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If you take a base backup from a standby server with "pg_basebackup -X fetch", and the timeline switches while the backup is being taken, the backup used to fail with an error "requested WAL segment %s has already been removed". This is because the server-side code that sends over the required WAL files would not construct the WAL filename with the correct timeline after a switch. Fix that by using readdir() to scan pg_xlog for all the WAL segments in the range, regardless of timeline. Also, include all timeline history files in the backup, if taken with "-X fetch". That fixes another related bug: If a timeline switch happened just before the backup was initiated in a standby, the WAL segment containing the initial checkpoint record contains WAL from the older timeline too. Recovery will not accept that without a timeline history file that lists the older timeline. Backpatch to 9.2. Versions prior to that were not affected as you could not take a base backup from a standby before 9.2.
* Delay reading timeline history file until it's fetched from master.Heikki Linnakangas2013-01-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Streaming replication can fetch any missing timeline history files from the master, but recovery would read the timeline history file for the target timeline before reading the checkpoint record, and before walreceiver has had a chance to fetch it from the master. Delay reading it, and the sanity checks involving timeline history, until after reading the checkpoint record. There is at least one scenario where this makes a difference: if you take a base backup from a standby server right after a timeline switch, the WAL segment containing the initial checkpoint record will begin with an older timeline ID. Without the timeline history file, recovering that file will fail as the older timeline ID is not recognized to be an ancestor of the target timeline. If you try to recover from such a backup, using only streaming replication to fetch the WAL, this patch is required for that to work.

* Set MaxBackends only on bootstrap and standalone modesAlvaro Herrera2013-01-02
| | | | | | | | ... not on auxiliary processes. I managed to overlook the fact that I had disabled assertions on my HEAD checkout long ago. Hopefully this will turn the buildfarm green again, and put an end to today's silliness.
* Move tar function headers to pgtar.hMagnus Hagander2013-01-02
| | | | | | This makes it possible to include them only where they are used, so we can avoid the conflict of the uid_t and gid_t datatypes that happened in plperl (since plperl doesn't need the tar functions)

| | | | | Auxiliary and bootstrap processes weren't getting it, causing initdb to fail completely.
* Fix background workers for EXEC_BACKENDAlvaro Herrera2013-01-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit da07a1e8 was broken for EXEC_BACKEND because I failed to realize that the MaxBackends recomputation needed to be duplicated by subprocesses in SubPostmasterMain. However, instead of having the value be recomputed at all, it's better to assign the correct value at postmaster initialization time, and have it be propagated to exec'ed backends via BackendParameters. MaxBackends stays as zero until after modules in shared_preload_libraries have had a chance to register bgworkers, since the value is going to be untrustworthy till that's finished.

* Fix bug in streaming replication over multiple tli switches.Heikki Linnakangas2013-01-02
| | | | | | | | After receiving some WAL over streaming replication, try to open the file from the timeline we're currently recieving, not recoveryTargetTLI. They are usually the same, which is why wasn't noticed before, but you'd get an error if there have been more than one timeline switch between the current point in WAL and the recovery target.

It will also be used by pg_basebackup in the future, which would've caused a third copy of it around. Zoltan Boszormenyi and Magnus Hagander
* Fix ruleutils to cope with conflicts from adding/dropping/renaming columns.Tom Lane2012-12-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In commit 11e131854f8231a21613f834c40fe9d046926387, we improved the rule/view dumping code so that it would produce valid query representations even if some of the tables involved in a query had been renamed since the query was parsed. This patch extends that idea to fix problems that occur when individual columns are renamed, or added or dropped. As before, the core of the fix is to assign unique new aliases when a name conflict has been created. This is complicated by the JOIN USING feature, which requires the same column alias to be used in both input relations, but we can handle that with a sufficiently complex approach to assigning aliases. A fortiori, this patch takes care of situations where the query didn't have unique column names to begin with, such as in a recent complaint from Bryan Nuse. (Because of expansion of "SELECT *", re-parsing a dumped query can require column name uniqueness even though the original text did not.)

* Keep timeline history files restored from archive in pg_xlog.Heikki Linnakangas2012-12-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The cascading standby patch in 9.2 changed the way WAL files are treated when restored from the archive. Before, they were restored under a temporary filename, and not kept in pg_xlog, but after the patch, they were copied under pg_xlog. This is necessary for a cascading standby to find them, but it also means that if the archive goes offline and a standby is restarted, it can recover back to where it was using the files in pg_xlog. It also means that if you take an offline backup from a standby server, it includes all the required WAL files in pg_xlog. However, the same change was not made to timeline history files, so if the WAL segment containing the checkpoint record contains a timeline switch, you will still get an error if you try to restart recovery without the archive, or recover from an offline backup taken from the standby. With this patch, timeline history files restored from archive are copied into pg_xlog like WAL files are, so that pg_xlog contains all the files required to recover. This is a corner-case pre-existing issue in 9.2, but even more important in master where it's possible for a standby to follow a timeline switch through streaming replication. To make that possible, the timeline history files must be present in pg_xlog.
* Adjust more backend functions to return OID rather than void.Robert Haas2012-12-29
| | | | | | | | | This is again intended to support extensions to the event trigger functionality. This may go a bit further than we need for that purpose, but there's some value in being consistent, and the OID may be useful for other purposes also. Dimitri Fontaine
* Remove obsolete XLogRecPtr macrosAlvaro Herrera2012-12-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This gets rid of XLByteLT, XLByteLE, XLByteEQ and XLByteAdvance. These were useful for brevity when XLogRecPtrs were split in xlogid/xrecoff; but now that they are simple uint64's, they are just clutter. The only downside to making this change would be ease of backporting patches, but that has been negated by other substantive changes to the involved code anyway. The clarity of simpler expressions makes the change worthwhile. Most of the changes are mechanical, but in a couple of places, the patch author chose to invert the operator sense, making the code flow more logical (and more in line with preceding comments).

* Prevent failure when RowExpr or XmlExpr is parse-analyzed twice.Tom Lane2012-12-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | transformExpr() is required to cope with already-transformed expression trees, for various ugly-but-not-quite-worth-cleaning-up reasons. However, some of its newer subroutines hadn't gotten the memo. This accounts for bug #7763 from Norbert Buchmuller: transformRowExpr() was overwriting the previously determined type of a RowExpr during CREATE TABLE LIKE INCLUDING INDEXES. Additional investigation showed that transformXmlExpr had the same kind of problem, but all the other cases seem to be safe. Andres Freund and Tom Lane
* Fix sloppiness in the timeline switch over streaming replication patch.Heikki Linnakangas2012-12-21
| | | | | | | | | Here's another attempt at fixing the logic that decides how far the WAL can be streamed, which was still broken if the timeline changed while streaming. You would get an assertion failure. The way the logic is now written is more readable, too. Thom Brown reported the assertion failure.
* Fix race condition if a file is removed while pg_basebackup is running.Heikki Linnakangas2012-12-21
| | | | | | | | If a relation file was removed when the server-side counterpart of pg_basebackup was just about to open it to send it to the client, you'd get a "could not open file" error. Fix that. Backpatch to 9.1, this goes back to when pg_basebackup was introduced.

* Fix pg_extension_config_dump() to handle update cases more sanely.Tom Lane2012-12-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If pg_extension_config_dump() is executed again for a table already listed in the extension's extconfig, the code was blindly making a new array entry. This does not seem useful. Fix it to replace the existing array entry instead, so that it's possible for extension update scripts to alter the filter conditions for configuration tables. In addition, teach ALTER EXTENSION DROP TABLE to check for an extconfig entry for the target table, and remove it if present. This is not a 100% solution because it's allowed for an extension update script to just summarily DROP a member table, and that code path doesn't go through ExecAlterExtensionContentsStmt. We could probably make that case clean things up if we had to, but it would involve sticking a very ugly wart somewhere in the guts of dependency.c. Since on the whole it seems quite unlikely that extension updates would want to remove pre-existing configuration tables, making the case possible with an explicit command seems sufficient. Per bug #7756 from Regina Obe. Back-patch to 9.1 where extensions were introduced.
