* Make tbm_add_tuples more efficient by caching the last acccessed page.Andres Freund2015-01-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When adding a large number of tuples to a TID bitmap using tbm_add_tuples() sometimes a lot of time was spent looking up a page's entry in the bitmap's internal hashtable. Improve efficiency by caching the last accessed page, while iterating over the passed in tuples, hoping consecutive tuples will often be on the same page. In many cases that's a good bet, and in the rest the added overhead isn't big. Discussion: 54479A85.8060309@sigaev.ru Author: Teodor Sigaev Reviewed-By: David Rowley
* Another attempt at fixing Windows Norwegian locale.Heikki Linnakangas2015-01-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previous fix mapped "Norwegian (Bokmål)" locale, which contains a non-ASCII character, to the pure ASCII alias "norwegian-bokmal". However, it turns out that more recent versions of the CRT library, in particular MSVCR110 (Visual Studio 2012), changed the behaviour of setlocale() so that if you pass "norwegian-bokmal" to setlocale, it returns "Norwegian_Norway". That meant trouble, when setlocale(..., NULL) first returned "Norwegian (Bokmål)_Norway", which we mapped to "norwegian-bokmal_Norway", but another call to setlocale(..., "norwegian-bokmal_Norway") returned "Norwegian_Norway". That caused PostgreSQL to think that they are different locales, and therefore not compatible. That caused initdb to fail at CREATE DATABASE. Older CRT versions seem to accept "Norwegian_Norway" too, so change the mapping to return "Norwegian_Norway" instead of "norwegian-bokmal". Backpatch to 9.2 like the previous attempt. We haven't made a release that includes the previous fix yet, so we don't need to worry about changing the locale of existing clusters from "norwegian-bokmal" to "Norwegian_Norway". (Doing any mapping like this at all requires changing the locale of existing databases; the release notes need to include instructions for that).
* Update "pg_regress --no-locale" for Darwin and Windows.Noah Misch2015-01-16
| | | | | | | | | | Commit 894459e59ffa5c7fee297b246c17e1f72564db1d revealed this option to be broken for NLS builds on Darwin, but "make -C contrib/unaccent check" and the buildfarm client rely on it. Fix that configuration by redefining the option to imply LANG=C on Darwin. In passing, use LANG=C instead of LANG=en on Windows; since only postmaster startup uses that value, testers are unlikely to notice the change. Back-patch to 9.0, like the predecessor commit.
* Fix use-of-already-freed-memory problem in EvalPlanQual processing.Tom Lane2015-01-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Up to now, the "child" executor state trees generated for EvalPlanQual rechecks have simply shared the ResultRelInfo arrays used for the original execution tree. However, this leads to dangling-pointer problems, because ExecInitModifyTable() is all too willing to scribble on some fields of the ResultRelInfo(s) even when it's being run in one of those child trees. This trashes those fields from the perspective of the parent tree, because even if the generated subtree is logically identical to what was in use in the parent, it's in a memory context that will go away when we're done with the child state tree. We do however want to share information in the direction from the parent down to the children; in particular, fields such as es_instrument *must* be shared or we'll lose the stats arising from execution of the children. So the simplest fix is to make a copy of the parent's ResultRelInfo array, but not copy any fields back at end of child execution. Per report from Manuel Kniep. The added isolation test is based on his example. In an unpatched memory-clobber-enabled build it will reliably fail with "ctid is NULL" errors in all branches back to 9.1, as a consequence of junkfilter->jf_junkAttNo being overwritten with $7f7f. This test cannot be run as-is before that for lack of WITH syntax; but I have no doubt that some variant of this problem can arise in older branches, so apply the code change all the way back.
* Fix thinko in re-setting wal_log_hints flag from a parameter-change record.Heikki Linnakangas2015-01-15

* Rearrange explain.c's API so callers need not embed sizeof(ExplainState).Tom Lane2015-01-15
| | | | | | | | | | The folly of the previous arrangement was just demonstrated: there's no convenient way to add fields to ExplainState without breaking ABI, even if callers have no need to touch those fields. Since we might well need to do that again someday in back branches, let's change things so that only explain.c has to have sizeof(ExplainState) compiled into it. This costs one extra palloc() per EXPLAIN operation, which is surely pretty negligible.
* Improve performance of EXPLAIN with large range tables.Tom Lane2015-01-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As of 9.3, ruleutils.c goes to some lengths to ensure that table and column aliases used in its output are unique. Of course this takes more time than was required before, which in itself isn't fatal. However, EXPLAIN was set up so that recalculation of the unique aliases was repeated for each subexpression printed in a plan. That results in O(N^2) time and memory consumption for large plan trees, which did not happen in older branches. Fortunately, the expensive work is the same across a whole plan tree, so there is no need to repeat it; we can do most of the initialization just once per query and re-use it for each subexpression. This buys back most (not all) of the performance loss since 9.2. We need an extra ExplainState field to hold the precalculated deparse context. That's no problem in HEAD, but in the back branches, expanding sizeof(ExplainState) seems risky because third-party extensions might have local variables of that struct type. So, in 9.4 and 9.3, introduce an auxiliary struct to keep sizeof(ExplainState) the same. We should refactor the APIs to avoid such local variables in future, but that's material for a separate HEAD-only commit. Per gripe from Alexey Bashtanov. Back-patch to 9.3 where the issue was introduced.
* Blindly try to fix a warning in s_lock.h when compiling with gcc on HPPA.Andres Freund2015-01-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The possibly, depending on compiler settings, generated warning was "warning: `S_UNLOCK' redefined". The hppa spinlock implementation doesn't follow the rules of s_lock.h and provides a gcc specific implementation outside of the the part of the file that's supposed to do that. It does so to avoid duplication between the HP compiler and gcc. That unfortunately means that S_UNLOCK is already defined when the HPPA specific section is reached. Undefine the generic fallback S_UNLOCK definition inside the HPPA section. That's far from pretty, but has the big advantage of being simple. If somebody is interested to fix this in a prettier way... This presumably got broken in the course of 0709b7ee72. Discussion: 20150114225919.GY5245@awork2.anarazel.de Per complaint from Tom Lane.
* Add a default local latch for use in signal handlers.Andres Freund2015-01-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To do so, move InitializeLatchSupport() into the new common process initialization functions, and add a new global variable MyLatch. MyLatch is usable as soon InitPostmasterChild() has been called (i.e. very early during startup). Initially it points to a process local latch that exists in all processes. InitProcess/InitAuxiliaryProcess then replaces that local latch with PGPROC->procLatch. During shutdown the reverse happens. This is primarily advantageous for two reasons: For one it simplifies dealing with the shared process latch, especially in signal handlers, because instead of having to check for MyProc, MyLatch can be used unconditionally. For another, a later patch that makes FEs/BE communication use latches, now can rely on the existence of a latch, even before having gone through InitProcess.

* Remove some dead IsUnderPostmaster code from bootstrap.c.Andres Freund2015-01-14
| | | | | | | | | Since commit 626eb021988a2 has introduced the auxiliary process infrastructure, bootstrap_signals() was never used when forked from postmaster. Remove the IsUnderPostmaster specific code, and add a appropriate assertion.
* Commonalize process startup code.Andres Freund2015-01-14
| | | | | | | | | Move common code, that was duplicated in every postmaster child/every standalone process, into two functions in miscinit.c. Not only does that already result in a fair amount of net code reduction but it also makes it much easier to remove more duplication in the future. The prime motivation wasn't code deduplication though, but easier addition of new common code.
* Make logging_collector=on work with non-windows EXEC_BACKEND again.Andres Freund2015-01-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit b94ce6e80 reordered postmaster's startup sequence so that the tempfile directory is only cleaned up after all the necessary state for pg_ctl is collected. Unfortunately the chosen location is after the syslogger has been started; which normally is fine, except for !WIN32 EXEC_BACKEND builds, which pass information to children via files in the temp directory. Move the call to RemovePgTempFiles() to just before the syslogger has started. That's the first child we fork. Luckily EXEC_BACKEND is pretty much only used by endusers on windows, which has a separate method to pass information to children. That means the real world impact of this bug is very small. Discussion: 20150113182344.GF12272@alap3.anarazel.de Backpatch to 9.1, just as the previous commit was.

* Add barriers to the latch code.Andres Freund2015-01-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since their introduction latches have required barriers in SetLatch and ResetLatch - but when they were introduced there wasn't any barrier abstraction. Instead latches were documented to rely on the callsites to provide barrier semantics. Now that the barrier support looks halfway complete, add the necessary barriers to both latch implementations. Also remove a now superflous lock acquisition from syncrep.c and a superflous (and insufficient) barrier from freelist.c. There might be other cases that can now be simplified, but those are the only ones I've seen on a quick scan. We might want to backpatch this at some later point, but right now the barrier infrastructure in the backbranches isn't totally on par with master.

* Allow latches to wait for socket writability without waiting for readability.Andres Freund2015-01-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | So far WaitLatchOrSocket() required to pass in WL_SOCKET_READABLE as that solely was used to indicate error conditions, like EOF. Waiting for WL_SOCKET_WRITEABLE would have meant to busy wait upon socket errors. Adjust the API to signal errors by returning the socket as readable, writable or both, depending on WL_SOCKET_READABLE/WL_SOCKET_WRITEABLE being specified. It would arguably be nicer to return WL_SOCKET_ERROR but that's not possible on platforms and would probably also result in more complex callsites. This previously had explicitly been forbidden in e42a21b9e6c9, as there was no strong use case at that point. We now are looking into making FE/BE communication use latches, so changing this makes sense. There also are some portability concerns because there cases of older platforms where select(2) is known to, in violation of POSIX, not return a socket as writable after the peer has closed it. So far the platforms where that's the case provide a working poll(2). If we find one where that's not the case, we'll need to add a workaround for that platform.

* Avoid unexpected slowdown in vacuum regression test.Tom Lane2015-01-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I noticed the "vacuum" regression test taking really significantly longer than it used to on a slow machine. Investigation pointed the finger at commit e415b469b33ba328765e39fd62edcd28f30d9c3c, which added creation of an index using an extremely expensive index function. That function was evidently meant to be applied only twice ... but the test re-used an existing test table, which up till a couple lines before that had had over two thousand rows. Depending on timing of the concurrent regression tests, the intervening VACUUMs might have been unable to remove those recently-dead rows, and then the index build would need to create index entries for them too, leading to the wrap_do_analyze() function being executed 2000+ times not twice. Avoid this by using a different table that is guaranteed to have only the intended two rows in it. Back-patch to 9.0, like the commit that created the problem.

* Use correct text domain for errcontext() appearing within ereport().Tom Lane2015-01-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The mechanism added in commit dbdf9679d7d61b03a3bf73af9b095831b7010eb5 for associating the correct translation domain with errcontext strings potentially fails in cases where errcontext() is used within an ereport() macro. Such usage was not originally envisioned for errcontext(), but we do have a few places that do it. In this situation, the intended comma expression becomes just a couple of arguments to errfinish(), which the compiler might choose to evaluate right-to-left. Fortunately, in such cases the textdomain for the errcontext string must be the same as for the surrounding ereport. So we can fix this by letting errstart initialize context_domain along with domain; then it will have the correct value no matter which order the calls occur in. (Note that error stack callback functions are not invoked until errfinish, so normal usage of errcontext won't affect what happens for errcontext calls within the ereport macro.) In passing, make sure that errcontext calls within the main backend set context_domain to something non-NULL. This isn't a live bug because NULL would select the current textdomain() setting which should be the right thing anyway --- but it seems better to handle this completely consistently with the regular domain field. Per report from Dmitry Voronin. Backpatch to 9.3; before that, there wasn't any attempt to ensure that errcontext strings were translated in an appropriate domain.
* Skip dead backends in MinimumActiveBackendsStephen Frost2015-01-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Back in ed0b409, PGPROC was split and moved to static variables in procarray.c, with procs in ProcArrayStruct replaced by an array of integers representing process numbers (pgprocnos), with -1 indicating a dead process which has yet to be removed. Access to procArray is generally done under ProcArrayLock and therefore most code does not have to concern itself with -1 entries. However, MinimumActiveBackends intentionally does not take ProcArrayLock, which means it has to be extra careful when accessing procArray. Prior to ed0b409, this was handled by checking for a NULL in the pointer array, but that check was no longer valid after the split. Coverity pointed out that the check could never happen and so it was removed in 5592eba. That didn't make anything worse, but it didn't fix the issue either. The correct fix is to check for pgprocno == -1 and skip over that entry if it is encountered. Back-patch to 9.2, since there can be attempts to access the arrays prior to their start otherwise. Note that the changes prior to 9.4 will look a bit different due to the change in 5592eba. Note that MinimumActiveBackends only returns a bool for heuristic purposes and any pre-array accesses are strictly read-only and so there is no security implication and the lack of fields complaints indicates it's very unlikely to run into issues due to this.

* Fix portability breakage in pg_dump.Tom Lane2015-01-11
| | | | | | | | | | Commit 0eea8047bf0e15b402b951e383e39236bdfe57d5 introduced some overly optimistic assumptions about what could be in a local struct variable's initializer. (This might in fact be valid code according to C99, but I've got at least one pre-C99 compiler that falls over on those nonconstant address expressions.) There is no reason whatsoever for main()'s workspace to not be static, so revert long_options[] to a static and make the DumpOptions struct static as well.
* Remove configure test for nonstandard variants of getpwuid_r().Tom Lane2015-01-11
| | | | | | | | | | We had code that supposed that some platforms might offer a nonstandard version of getpwuid_r() with only four arguments. However, the 5-argument definition has been standardized at least since the Single Unix Spec v2, which is our normal reference for what's portable across all Unix-oid platforms. (What's more, this wasn't the only pre-standardization version of getpwuid_r(); my old HPUX 10.20 box has still another signature.) So let's just get rid of the now-useless configure step.
* Fix libpq's behavior when /etc/passwd isn't readable.Tom Lane2015-01-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some users run their applications in chroot environments that lack an /etc/passwd file. This means that the current UID's user name and home directory are not obtainable. libpq used to be all right with that, so long as the database role name to use was specified explicitly. But commit a4c8f14364c27508233f8a31ac4b10a4c90235a9 broke such cases by causing any failure of pg_fe_getauthname() to be treated as a hard error. In any case it did little to advance its nominal goal of causing errors in pg_fe_getauthname() to be reported better. So revert that and instead put some real error-reporting code in place. This requires changes to the APIs of pg_fe_getauthname() and pqGetpwuid(), since the latter had departed from the POSIX-specified API of getpwuid_r() in a way that made it impossible to distinguish actual lookup errors from "no such user". To allow such failures to be reported, while not failing if the caller supplies a role name, add a second call of pg_fe_getauthname() in connectOptions2(). This is a tad ugly, and could perhaps be avoided with some refactoring of PQsetdbLogin(), but I'll leave that idea for later. (Note that the complained-of misbehavior only occurs in PQsetdbLogin, not when using the PQconnect functions, because in the latter we will never bother to call pg_fe_getauthname() if the user gives a role name.) In passing also clean up the Windows-side usage of GetUserName(): the recommended buffer size is 257 bytes, the passed buffer length should be the buffer size not buffer size less 1, and any error is reported by GetLastError() not errno. Per report from Christoph Berg. Back-patch to 9.4 where the chroot failure case was introduced. The generally poor reporting of errors here is of very long standing, of course, but given the lack of field complaints about it we won't risk changing these APIs further back (even though they're theoretically internal to libpq).
* Provide a generic fallback for pg_compiler_barrier using an extern function.Andres Freund2015-01-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the compiler/arch combination does not provide compiler barriers, provide a fallback. That fallback simply consists out of a function call into a externally defined function. That should guarantee compiler barrierer semantics except for compilers that do inter translation unit/global optimization - those better provide an actual compiler barrier. Hopefully this fixes Tom's report of linker failures due to pg_compiler_barrier_impl not being provided. I'm not backpatching this commit as it builds on the new atomics infrastructure. If we decide an equivalent fix needs to be backpatched, I'll do so in a separate commit. Discussion: 27746.1420930690@sss.pgh.pa.us Per report from Tom Lane.

As this is all compiler specific code anyway we can just rely on compiler specific tricks to enforce alignment. I've been unable to find concrete documentation about the version that introduce the sunpro alignment support, so that might need additional guards. I've verified that this works with gcc x86 32bit, but I don't have access to any other 32bit environment. Discussion: op.xpsjdkil0sbe7t@vld-kuci Per report from Vladimir Koković.

* Fix logging of pages skipped due to pins during vacuum.Andres Freund2015-01-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new logging introduced in 35192f06 made the incorrect assumption that scan_all vacuums would always wait for buffer pins; but they only do so if the page actually needs to be frozen. Fix that inaccuracy by removing the difference in log output based on scan_all and just always remove the same message. I chose to keep the split log message from the original commit for now, it seems likely that it'll be of use in the future. Also merge the line about buffer pins in autovacuum's log output into the existing "pages: ..." line. It seems odd to have a separate line about pins, without the "topic: " prefix others have. Also rename the new 'pinned_pages' variable to 'pinskipped_pages' because it actually tracks the number of pages that could *not* be pinned. Discussion: 20150104005324.GC9626@awork2.anarazel.de

* Don't open a WAL segment for writing at end of recovery.Heikki Linnakangas2015-01-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since commit ba94518a, we used XLogFileOpen to open the next segment for writing, but if the end-of-recovery happens exactly at a segment boundary, the new segment might not exist yet.

Instead of trying to create it if necessary, it's simpler to not bother opening the segment at all.

* Correctly handle relcache invalidation corner case during logical decoding.Andres Freund2015-01-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When using a historic snapshot for logical decoding it can validly happen that a relation that's in the relcache isn't visible to that historic snapshot. E.g. if a newly created relation is referenced in the query that uses the SQL interface for logical decoding and a sinval reset occurs. The earlier commit that fixed the error handling for that corner case already improves the situation as a ERROR is better than hitting an assertion... But it's obviously not good enough. So additionally allow that case without an error if a historic snapshot is set up - that won't allow an invalid entry to stay in the cache because it's a) already marked invalid and will thus be rebuilt during the next access b) the syscaches will be reset at the end of decoding. There might be prettier solutions to handle this case, but all that we could think of so far end up being much more complex than this quite simple fix. This fixes the assertion failures reported by the buildfarm (markhor, tick, leech) after the introduction of new regression tests in 89fd41b390a4. The failure there weren't actually directly caused by CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS but the extraordinary long runtimes due to it lead to sinval resets triggering the behaviour.

* Improve relcache invalidation handling of currently invisible relations.Andres Freund2015-01-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The corner case where a relcache invalidation tried to rebuild the entry for a referenced relation but couldn't find it in the catalog wasn't correct. The code tried to RelationCacheDelete/RelationDestroyRelation the entry. That didn't work when assertions are enabled because the latter contains an assertion ensuring the refcount is zero. It's also more generally a bad idea, because by virtue of being referenced somebody might actually look at the entry, which is possible if the error is trapped and handled via a subtransaction abort. Instead just error out, without deleting the entry. As the entry is marked invalid, the worst that can happen is that the invalid (and at some point unused) entry lingers in the relcache. Discussion: 22459.1418656530@sss.pgh.pa.us There should be no way to hit this case < 9.4 where logical decoding introduced a bug that can hit this. But since the code for handling the corner case is there it should do something halfway sane, so backpatch all the the way back. The logical decoding bug will be handled in a separate commit.

* Fix oversight in recent pg_basebackup fix causing pg_receivexlog failures.Andres Freund2015-01-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | A oversight in 2c0a485896 causes 'could not create archive status file "...": No such file or directory' errors in pg_receivexlog if the target directory doesn't happen to contain a archive_status directory. That's due to a stupidly left over 'true' constant instead of mark_done being passed down to ProcessXLogDataMsg(). The bug is only present in the master branch, and luckily wasn't released. Spotted by Fujii Masao.
