* Remove assertion for replication origins in PREPARE TRANSACTIONMichael Paquier2021-12-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When using replication origins, pg_replication_origin_xact_setup() is an optional choice to be able to set a LSN and a timestamp to mark the origin, which would be additionally added to WAL for transaction commits or aborts (including 2PC transactions). An assertion in the code path of PREPARE TRANSACTION assumed that this data should always be set, so it would trigger when using replication origins without setting up an origin LSN. Some tests are added to cover more this kind of scenario. Oversight in commit 1eb6d65. Per discussion with Amit Kapila and Masahiko Sawada.

* Implement poly_distance().Tom Lane2021-12-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | geo_ops.c contains half a dozen functions that are just stubs throwing ERRCODE_FEATURE_NOT_SUPPORTED. Since it's been like that for more than twenty years, there's clearly not a lot of interest in filling in the stubs. However, I'm uncomfortable with deleting poly_distance(), since every other geometric type supports a distance-to-another-object- of-the-same-type function. We can easily add this capability by cribbing from poly_overlap() and path_distance(). It's possible that the (existing) test case for this will show some numeric instability, but hopefully the buildfarm will expose it if so. In passing, improve the documentation to try to explain why polygons are distinct from closed paths in the first place. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/3426566.1638832718@sss.pgh.pa.us
* isolationtester: append session name to application_name.Andres Freund2021-12-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When writing / debugging an isolation test it sometimes is useful to see which session holds what lock etc. To make it easier, both as part of spec files and interactively, append the session name to application_name. Since b1907d688 application_name already contains the test name, this appends the session's name to that. insert-conflict-specconflict did something like this manually, which can now be removed. As we have done lately with other test infrastructure improvements, backpatch this change, to make it easier to backpatch tests.

* Remove InitXLOGAccess().Robert Haas2021-12-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's not great that RecoveryInProgress() calls InitXLOGAccess(), because a status inquiry function typically shouldn't have the side effect of performing initializations. We could fix that by calling InitXLOGAccess() from some other place, but instead, let's remove it altogether. One thing InitXLogAccess() did is initialize wal_segment_size, but it doesn't need to do that. In the postmaster, PostmasterMain() calls LocalProcessControlFile(), and all child processes will inherit that value -- except in EXEC_BACKEND bulds, but then each backend runs SubPostmasterMain() which also calls LocalProcessControlFile(). The other thing InitXLOGAccess() did is update RedoRecPtr and doPageWrites, but that's not critical, because all code that uses them will just retry if it turns out that they've changed. The only difference is that most code will now see an initial value that is definitely invalid instead of one that might have just been way out of date, but that will only happen once per backend lifetime, so it shouldn't be a big deal. Patch by me, reviewed by Nathan Bossart, Michael Paquier, Andres Freund, Heikki Linnakangas, and Álvaro Herrera.

* Default to log_checkpoints=on, log_autovacuum_min_duration=10mRobert Haas2021-12-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The idea here is that when a performance problem is known to have occurred at a certain point in time, it's a good thing if there is some information available from the logs to help figure out what might have happened around that time. This change attracted an above-average amount of dissent, because it means that a server with default settings will produce some amount of log output even if nothing has gone wrong. However, by my count, the mailing list discussion had about twice as many people in favor of the change as opposed. The reasons for believing that the extra log output is not an issue in practice are: (1) the rate at which messages can be generated by this setting is bounded to one every few minutes on a properly-configured system and (2) production systems tend to have a lot more junk in the log from that due to failed connection attempts, ERROR messages generated by application activity, and the like. Bharath Rupireddy, reviewed by Fujii Masao and by me. Many other people commented on the thread, but as far as I can see that was discussion of the merits of the change rather than review of the patch.

* Create a new type category for "internal use" types.Tom Lane2021-12-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Historically we've put type "char" into the S (String) typcategory, although calling it a string is a stretch considering it can only store one byte. (In our actual usage, it's more like an enum.) This choice now seems wrong in view of the special heuristics that parse_func.c and parse_coerce.c have for TYPCATEGORY_STRING: it's not a great idea for "char" to have those preferential casting behaviors. Worse than that, recent patches inventing special-purpose types like pg_node_tree have assigned typcategory S to those types, meaning they also get preferential casting treatment that's designed on the assumption that they can hold arbitrary text. To fix, invent a new category TYPCATEGORY_INTERNAL for internal-use types, and assign that to all these types. I used code 'Z' for lack of a better idea ('I' was already taken). This change breaks one query in psql/describe.c, which now needs to explicitly cast a catalog "char" column to text before concatenating it with an undecorated literal. Also, a test case in contrib/citext now needs an explicit cast to convert citext to "char". Since the point of this change is to not have "char" be a surprisingly-available cast target, these breakages seem OK. Per report from Ian Campbell.

* Check for STATUS_DELETE_PENDING on Windows.Thomas Munro2021-12-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1. Update our open() wrapper to check for NT's STATUS_DELETE_PENDING and translate it to Unix-like errors. This is done with RtlGetLastNtStatus(), which is dynamically loaded from ntdll. A new file win32ntdll.c centralizes lookup of NT functions, in case we decide to add more in the future. 2. Remove non-working code that was trying to do something similar for stat(), and just reuse the open() wrapper code. As a side effect, stat() also gains resilience against "sharing violation" errors. 3. Since stat() is used very early in process startup, remove the requirement that the Win32 signal event has been created before pgwin32_open_handle() is reached. Instead, teach pg_usleep() to fall back to a non-interruptible sleep if reached before the signal event is available. This could be back-patched, but for now it's in master only. The problem has apparently been with us for a long time and generated only a few complaints. Proposed patches trigger it more often, which led to this investigation and fix.

* Standardize cleanup lock terminology.Peter Geoghegan2021-12-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The term "super-exclusive lock" is a synonym for "buffer cleanup lock" that first appeared in nbtree many years ago. Standardize things by consistently using the term cleanup lock. This finishes work started by commit 276db875. There is no good reason to have two terms. But there is a good reason to only have one: to avoid confusion around why VACUUM acquires a full cleanup lock (not just an ordinary exclusive lock) in index AMs, during ambulkdelete calls. This has nothing to do with protecting the physical index data structure itself. It is needed to implement a locking protocol that ensures that TIDs pointing to the heap/table structure cannot get marked for recycling by VACUUM before it is safe (which is somewhat similar to how VACUUM uses cleanup locks during its first heap pass). Note that it isn't strictly necessary for index AMs to implement this locking protocol -- several index AMs use an MVCC snapshot as their sole interlock to prevent unsafe TID recycling. In passing, update the nbtree README. Cleanly separate discussion of the aforementioned index vacuuming locking protocol from discussion of the "drop leaf page pin" optimization added by commit 2ed5b87f. We now structure discussion of the latter by describing how individual index scans may safely opt out of applying the standard locking protocol (and so can avoid blocking progress by VACUUM). Also document why the optimization is not safe to apply during nbtree index-only scans.

While on it, the errors generated for unsupported combinations with "slot_name = NONE" are reordered.

* Fix corruption of toast indexes with REINDEX CONCURRENTLYMichael Paquier2021-12-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | REINDEX CONCURRENTLY run on a toast index or a toast relation could corrupt the target indexes rebuilt, as a backend running in parallel that manipulates toast values would directly release the lock on the toast relation when its local operation is done, rather than releasing the lock once the transaction that manipulated the toast values committed. The fix done here is simple: we now hold a ROW EXCLUSIVE lock on the toast relation when saving or deleting a toast value until the transaction working on them is committed, so as a concurrent reindex happening in parallel would be able to wait for any activity and see any new rows inserted (or deleted). An isolation test is added to check after the case fixed here, which is a bit fancy by design as it relies on allow_system_table_mods to rename the toast table and its index to fixed names. This way, it is possible to reindex them directly without any dependency on the OID of the underlying relation. Note that this could not use a DO block either, as REINDEX CONCURRENTLY cannot be run in a transaction block. The test is backpatched down to 13, where it is possible, thanks to c4a7a39, to use allow_system_table_mods in a test suite.

* Account for TOAST data while scheduling parallel dumps.Tom Lane2021-12-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In parallel mode, pg_dump tries to order the table-data-dumping jobs with the largest tables first. However, it was only consulting the pg_class.relpages value to determine table size. This ignores TOAST data, and so we could make poor scheduling decisions in cases where some large tables are mostly TOASTed data while others have very little. To fix, add in the relpages value for the TOAST table as well. This patch also fixes a potential integer-overflow issue that could result in poor scheduling on machines where off_t is only 32 bits wide.

* Use PREPARE/EXECUTE for repetitive per-object queries in pg_dump.Tom Lane2021-12-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For objects such as functions, pg_dump issues the same secondary data-collection query against each object to be dumped. This can't readily be refactored to avoid the repetitive queries, but we can PREPARE these queries to reduce planning costs. This patch applies the idea to functions, aggregates, operators, and data types. While it could be carried further, the remaining sorts of objects aren't likely to appear in typical databases enough times to be worth worrying over. Moreover, doing the PREPARE is likely to be a net loss if there aren't at least some dozens of objects to apply the prepared query to.

* Avoid per-object queries in performance-critical paths in pg_dump.Tom Lane2021-12-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of issuing a secondary data-collection query against each table to be dumped, issue just one query, with a WHERE clause restricting it to be applied to only the tables we intend to dump. Likewise for indexes, constraints, and triggers. This greatly reduces the number of queries needed to dump a database containing many tables. It might seem that WHERE clauses listing many target OIDs could be inefficient, but at least on recent server versions this provides a very substantial speedup. (In principle the same thing could be done with other object types such as functions; but that would require significant refactoring of pg_dump, so those will be tackled in a different way in a following patch.) The new WHERE clauses depend on the unnest() function, which is only present in 8.4 and above. We could implement them differently for older servers, but there is an ongoing discussion that will probably result in dropping pg_dump support for servers before 9.2, so that seems like it'd be wasted work. For now, just bump the server version check to require >= 8.4, without stopping to remove any of the code that's thereby rendered dead. We'll mop that situation up soon. Patch by me, based on an idea from Andres Freund. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/7d7eb6128f40401d81b3b7a898b6b4de@W2012-02.nidsa.loc

Fetch pg_init_privs data separately in a single scan of that catalog, and do the merging calculations on the client side.

* Refactor pg_dump's tracking of object components to be dumped.Tom Lane2021-12-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Split the DumpableObject.dump bitmask field into separate bitmasks tracking which components are requested to be dumped (in the existing "dump" field) and which components exist for the particular object (in the new "components" field). This gets rid of some klugy and easily-broken logic that involved setting bits and later clearing them. More importantly, it restores the originally intended behavior that pg_dump's secondary data-gathering queries should not be executed for objects we have no interest in dumping. That optimization got broken when the dump flag was turned into a bitmask, because irrelevant bits tended to remain set in many cases. Since the "components" field starts from a minimal set of bits and is added onto as needed, ANDing it with "dump" provides a reliable indicator of what we actually have to dump, without having to complicate the logic that manages the request bits. This makes a significant difference in the number of queries needed when, for example, there are many functions in extensions.

| | | | | | | | | | The temporary path generated in commit c113d8ad5 cannot be passed as-is in the connection string on Windows since the path delimiting backslashes will be treated as escape characters. Fix by converting backslash to slash as in similar path usecases in other tests.

* Improve the description of various GUCsMichael Paquier2021-12-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit fixes a couple of inconsistencies in the descriptions of some GUCs, while making their wording more general regarding the units they rely on. For most of them, this removes the use of terms like "N seconds" or "N bytes", which may not apply easily to all the languages these strings are translated to (from my own experience, this works in French and English, less in Japanese). Per debate between the authors listed below. Author: Justin Pryzby, Michael Paquier Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20211129030833.GJ17618@telsasoft.com
* On Windows, close the client socket explicitly during backend shutdown.Tom Lane2021-12-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | It turns out that this is necessary to keep Winsock from dropping any not-yet-sent data, such as an error message explaining the reason for process termination. It's pretty weird that the implicit close done by the kernel acts differently from an explicit close, but it's hard to argue with experimental results.

* pg_waldump: Emit stats summary when interrupted by SIGINTMichael Paquier2021-12-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, pg_waldump would not display its statistics summary if it got interrupted by SIGINT (or say a simple Ctrl+C). It gains with this commit a signal handler for SIGINT, trapping the signal to exit at the earliest convenience to allow a display of the stats summary before exiting. This makes the reports more interactive, similarly to strace -c. This new behavior makes the combination of the options --stats and --follow much more useful, so as the user will get a report for any invocation of pg_waldump in such a case. Information about the LSN range of the stats computed is added as a header to the report displayed. This implementation comes from a suggestion by Álvaro Herrera and myself, following a complaint by the author of this patch about --stats and --follow not being useful together originally. As documented, this is not supported on Windows, though its support would be possible by catching the terminal events associated to Ctrl+C, for example (this may require a more centralized implementation, as other tools could benefit from a common API).

* Move into separate file all the SQL queries used in pg_upgrade testsMichael Paquier2021-12-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The existing pg_upgrade/test.sh and the buildfarm code have been holding the same set of SQL queries when doing cross-version upgrade tests to adapt the objects created by the regression tests before the upgrade (mostly, incompatible or non-existing objects need to be dropped from the origin, perhaps re-created). This moves all those SQL queries into a new, separate, file with a set of \if clauses to handle the version checks depending on the old version of the cluster to-be-upgraded. The long-term plan is to make the buildfarm code re-use this new SQL file, so as committers are able to fix any compatibility issues in the tests of pg_upgrade with a refresh of the core code, without having to poke at the buildfarm client. Note that this is only able to handle the main regression test suite, and that nothing is done yet for contrib modules yet (these have more issues like their database names). A backpatch down to 10 is done, adapting the version checks as this script needs to be only backward-compatible, so as it becomes possible to clean up a maximum amount of code within the buildfarm client.

* Avoid leaking memory during large-scale REASSIGN OWNED BY operations.Tom Lane2021-12-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The various ALTER OWNER routines tend to leak memory in CurrentMemoryContext. That's not a problem when they're only called once per command; but in this usage where we might be touching many objects, it can amount to a serious memory leak. Fix that by running each call in a short-lived context. (DROP OWNED BY likely has a similar issue, except that you'll probably run out of lock table space before noticing. REASSIGN is worth fixing since for most non-table object types, it won't take any lock.) Back-patch to all supported branches. Unfortunately, in the back branches this helps to only a limited extent, since the sinval message queue bloats quite a lot in this usage before commit 3aafc030a, consuming memory more or less comparable to what's actually leaked. Still, it's clearly a leak with a simple fix, so we might as well fix it.

* psql: initialize comment-begin setting to a useful value by default.Tom Lane2021-12-01
| | | | | | | | | | | Readline's meta-# command is supposed to insert a comment marker at the start of the current line. However, the default marker is "#" which is entirely unhelpful for SQL. Set it to "-- " instead. (This setting can still be overridden in one's ~/.inputrc file, so this change won't affect people who have already taken steps to make the command useful.)

* psql: treat "--" comments between queries as separate history entries.Tom Lane2021-12-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | If we've not yet collected any non-whitespace, non-comment token for a new query, flush the current input line to history before reading another line. This aligns psql's history behavior with the observation that lines containing only comments are generally not thought of as being part of the next query. psql's prompting behavior is consistent with that view, too, since it won't change the prompt until you enter something that's neither whitespace nor a "--" comment.

* psql: include intra-query "--" comments in what's sent to the server.Tom Lane2021-12-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | psql's lexer has historically deleted dash-dash (single-line) comments from what's collected and sent to the server. This is inconsistent with what it does for slash-star comments, and people have complained before that they wish such comments would be captured in the server log. Undoing the decision completely seems like too big a behavioral change, however. In particular, comments on lines preceding the start of a query are generally not thought of as being part of that query. What we can do to improve the situation is to capture comments that are clearly *within* a query, that is after the first non-whitespace, non-comment token but before the query's ending semicolon or backslash command. This is a nearly trivial code change, and it affects only a few regression test results. (It is tempting to try to apply the same rule to slash-star comments. But it's hard to see how to do that without getting strange history behavior for comments that cross lines, especially if the user then starts a new query on the same line as the star-slash. In view of the lack of complaints, let's leave that case alone.) Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAJcOf-cAdMVr7azeYR7nWKsNp7qhORzc84rV6d7m7knG5Hrtsw@mail.gmail.com

* Warning on SET of nonexisting setting with a prefix reserved by an extensionPeter Eisentraut2021-12-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | An extension can already de facto reserve a GUC prefix using EmitWarningsOnPlaceholders(). But this was only checked against settings that exist at the time the extension is loaded (or the extension chooses to call this). No diagnostic is given when a SET command later uses a nonexisting setting with a custom prefix. With this change, EmitWarningsOnPlaceholders() saves the prefixes it reserves in a list, and SET checks when it finds a "placeholder" setting whether it belongs to a reserved prefix and issues a warning in that case. Add a regression test that checks the patch using the "plpgsql" registered prefix.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit c113d8ad50 moved the copying of certificates into a temporary path for the duration of the tests, instead of using the source tree.
