Tom Lane 23078689a9 Does it help to wait before reattaching?
Revert the map/unmap dance I tried in commit 73042b8d1; that helps
not at all.

Instead, speculate that the unwanted allocation is being done on
another thread, and thus timing variations explain the apparent
unpredictability.  Temporarily add a 1-second sleep before the
VirtualFree call, in hopes that any such other threads will
quiesce and not jog our elbow.

This is obviously not a desirable long-term fix, but as a means of
investigation it seems useful.

Tom Lane 73042b8d13 Map and unmap the shared memory block before risking VirtualFree.
The idea here is to get Windows' userspace infrastructure to allocate
whatever space it needs for MapViewOfFileEx() before we release the
locked-down space that we want to map the shared memory block into.

This is a fairly brute-force attempt, and would likely (for example)
fail with large shared memory on 32-bit Windows.  We could perhaps
ameliorate that by mapping only part of the shared memory block in
this way, but for the moment I just want to see if this approach
will fix dory's problem.

Tom Lane ce07aff48f Further effort at preventing memory map dump from affecting the results.
Rather than elog'ing immediately, push the map data into a preallocated
StringInfo.  Perhaps this will prevent some of the mid-operation
allocations that are evidently happening now.

Tom Lane eb16011f4c Get still more info about Windows can't-reattach-to-shared-memory errors.
After some thought about the info captured so far, it seems possible
that MapViewOfFileEx is itself causing some DLL to get loaded into
the space just freed by VirtualFree.  The previous commit here didn't
capture enough info to really prove the case for that, so let's add
one more VirtualQuery in between those steps.  Also, be sure to
capture the post-Map state before we emit any log entries, just in
case elog() is invoking some code not previously loaded.

Add some debug printouts focused on the idea that MapViewOfFileEx might
be rounding its virtual memory allocation up more than we expect (and,
in particular, more than VirtualAllocEx does).

Once we've seen what this reports in one of the failures on buildfarm

decrease the log level.

Andres Freund 8c3debbbf6 Fix and improve pg_atomic_flag fallback implementation.
The atomics fallback implementation for pg_atomic_flag was broken,
returning the inverted value from pg_atomic_test_set_flag().  This was
unnoticed because a) atomic flags were unused until recently b) the
test code wasn't run when the fallback implementation was in
use (because it didn't allow to test for some edge cases).

Fix the bug, and improve the fallback so it has the same behaviour as
the non-fallback implementation in the problematic edge cases. That
breaks ABI compatibility in the back branches when fallbacks are in
use, but given they were broken until now...

Tom Lane f13ea95f9e Change pg_ctl to detect server-ready by watching status in postmaster.pid.
Traditionally, "pg_ctl start -w" has waited for the server to become
ready to accept connections by attempting a connection once per second.
That has the major problem that connection issues (for instance, a
kernel packet filter blocking traffic) can't be reliably told apart
from server startup issues, and the minor problem that if server startup
isn't quick, we accumulate "the database system is starting up" spam
in the server log.  We've hacked around many of the possible connection
issues, but it resulted in ugly and complicated code in pg_ctl.c.

In commit c61559ec3, I changed the probe rate to every tenth of a second.
That prompted Jeff Janes to complain that the log-spam problem had become
much worse.  In the ensuing discussion, Andres Freund pointed out that
we could dispense with connection attempts altogether if the postmaster
were changed to report its status in postmaster.pid, which "pg_ctl start"
already relies on being able to read.  This patch implements that, teaching
postmaster.c to report a status string into the pidfile at the same
state-change points already identified as being of interest for systemd
status reporting (cf commit 7d17e683f).  pg_ctl no longer needs to link
with libpq at all; all its functions now depend on reading server files.

In support of this, teach AddToDataDirLockFile() to allow addition of
postmaster.pid lines in not-necessarily-sequential order.  This is needed
on Windows where the SHMEM_KEY line will never be written at all.  We still
have the restriction that we don't want to truncate the pidfile; document
the reasons for that a bit better.

Also, fix the pg_ctl TAP tests so they'll notice if "start -w" mode
is broken --- before, they'd just wait out the sixty seconds until
the loop gives up, and then report success anyway.  (Yes, I found that
out the hard way.)

While at it, arrange for pg_ctl to not need to #include miscadmin.h;
as a rather low-level backend header, requiring that to be compilable
client-side is pretty dubious.  This requires moving the #define's
associated with the pidfile into a new header file, and moving
PG_BACKEND_VERSIONSTR someplace else.  For lack of a clearly better
"someplace else", I put it into port.h, beside the declaration of
find_other_exec(), since most users of that macro are passing the value to
find_other_exec().  (initdb still depends on miscadmin.h, but at least
pg_ctl and pg_upgrade no longer do.)

In passing, fix main.c so that PG_BACKEND_VERSIONSTR actually defines the
output of "postgres -V", which remarkably it had never done before.

Tom Lane 382ceffdf7 Phase 3 of pgindent updates.
Don't move parenthesized lines to the left, even if that means they
flow past the right margin.

By default, BSD indent lines up statement continuation lines that are
within parentheses so that they start just to the right of the preceding
left parenthesis.  However, traditionally, if that resulted in the
continuation line extending to the right of the desired right margin,
then indent would push it left just far enough to not overrun the margin,
if it could do so without making the continuation line start to the left of
the current statement indent.  That makes for a weird mix of indentations
unless one has been completely rigid about never violating the 80-column
limit.

This behavior has been pretty universally panned by Postgres developers.
Hence, disable it with indent's new -lpl switch, so that parenthesized
lines are always lined up with the preceding left paren.

This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent
changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

Tom Lane c7b8998ebb Phase 2 of pgindent updates.
Change pg_bsd_indent to follow upstream rules for placement of comments
to the right of code, and remove pgindent hack that caused comments
following #endif to not obey the general rule.

Commit e3860ffa4d wasn't actually using
the published version of pg_bsd_indent, but a hacked-up version that
tried to minimize the amount of movement of comments to the right of
code.  The situation of interest is where such a comment has to be
moved to the right of its default placement at column 33 because there's
code there.  BSD indent has always moved right in units of tab stops
in such cases --- but in the previous incarnation, indent was working
in 8-space tab stops, while now it knows we use 4-space tabs.  So the
net result is that in about half the cases, such comments are placed
one tab stop left of before.  This is better all around: it leaves
more room on the line for comment text, and it means that in such
cases the comment uniformly starts at the next 4-space tab stop after
the code, rather than sometimes one and sometimes two tabs after.

Also, ensure that comments following #endif are indented the same
as comments following other preprocessor commands such as #else.
That inconsistency turns out to have been self-inflicted damage
from a poorly-thought-through post-indent "fixup" in pgindent.

This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent
changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

Tom Lane e3860ffa4d Initial pgindent run with pg_bsd_indent version 2.0.
The new indent version includes numerous fixes thanks to Piotr Stefaniak.
The main changes visible in this commit are:

* Nicer formatting of function-pointer declarations.
* No longer unexpectedly removes spaces in expressions using casts,
  sizeof, or offsetof.
* No longer wants to add a space in "struct structname *varname", as
  well as some similar cases for const- or volatile-qualified pointers.
* Declarations using PG_USED_FOR_ASSERTS_ONLY are formatted more nicely.
* Fixes bug where comments following declarations were sometimes placed
  with no space separating them from the code.
* Fixes some odd decisions for comments following case labels.
* Fixes some cases where comments following code were indented to less
  than the expected column 33.

On the less good side, it now tends to put more whitespace around typedef
names that are not listed in typedefs.list.  This might encourage us to
put more effort into typedef name collection; it's not really a bug in
indent itself.

There are more changes coming after this round, having to do with comment
indentation and alignment of lines appearing within parentheses.  I wanted
to limit the size of the diffs to something that could be reviewed without
one's eyes completely glazing over, so it seemed better to split up the
changes as much as practical.

Tom Lane a74740fbd3 Provide a way to control SysV shmem attach address in EXEC_BACKEND builds.
In standard non-Windows builds, there's no particular reason to care what
address the kernel chooses to map the shared memory segment at.  However,
when building with EXEC_BACKEND, there's a risk that the chosen address
won't be available in all child processes.  Linux with ASLR enabled (which
it is by default) seems particularly at risk because it puts shmem segments
into the same area where it maps shared libraries.  We can work around
that by specifying a mapping address that's outside the range where
shared libraries could get mapped.  On x86_64 Linux, 0x7e0000000000
seems to work well.

This is only meant for testing/debugging purposes, so it doesn't seem
necessary to go as far as providing a GUC (or any user-visible
documentation, though we might change that later).  Instead, it's just
controlled by setting an environment variable PG_SHMEM_ADDR to the
desired attach address.

Back-patch to all supported branches, since the point here is to
remove intermittent buildfarm failures on EXEC_BACKEND animals.
Owners of affected animals will need to add a suitable setting of
PG_SHMEM_ADDR to their build_env configuration.

Add a fallback implementation of 64bit atomics, just like the one we

Additionally optimize reads/writes to 64bit on a number of platforms
where aligned writes of that size are atomic. This can now be tested

Tom Lane f7819baa61 Fix WaitEventSetWait() to handle write-ready waits properly on Windows.
Windows apparently will not detect socket write-ready events unless a
preceding send attempt returned WSAEWOULDBLOCK.  In many usage patterns
that's satisfied by the caller of WaitEvenSetWait(), but not always.

Apply the same solution that we already had in pgwin32_select(), namely to
perform a dummy WSASend() call with len=0.  This will return WSAEWOULDBLOCK
if there's no buffer space (even though it could legitimately do nothing
and report success, which makes me a bit nervous about this solution;
but since it's been working fine in libpq, let's roll with it).

In passing, improve the comments about this in pgwin32_select(), and remove
duplicated code there.

Back-patch to 9.6 where WaitEventSetWait() was introduced.  We might need
to back-patch something similar into predecessor code.  But given the lack
of complaints so far, it's not clear that the case ever gets exercised
in the back branches, so I'm not going to expend effort on it right now.

This should resolve recurring failures on buildfarm member bowerbird,
which has been failing since 1e8a85009 went in.

Tom Lane be7b2848c6 Make the different Unix-y semaphore implementations ABI-compatible.
Previously, the "sem" field of PGPROC varied in size depending on which
kernel semaphore API we were using.  That was okay as long as there was
only one likely choice per platform, but in the wake of commit ecb0d20a9,
that assumption seems rather shaky.  It doesn't seem out of the question
anymore that an extension compiled against one API choice might be loaded
into a postmaster built with another choice.  Moreover, this prevents any
possibility of selecting the semaphore API at postmaster startup, which
might be something we want to do in future.

Hence, change PGPROC.sem to be PGSemaphore (i.e. a pointer) for all Unix
semaphore APIs, and turn the pointed-to data into an opaque struct whose
contents are only known within the responsible modules.

For the SysV and unnamed-POSIX APIs, the pointed-to data has to be
allocated elsewhere in shared memory, which takes a little bit of
rejiggering of the InitShmemAllocation code sequence.  (I invented a
ShmemAllocUnlocked() function to make that a little cleaner than it used
to be.  That function is not meant for any uses other than the ones it
has now, but it beats having InitShmemAllocation() know explicitly about
allocation of space for semaphores and spinlocks.)  This change means an
extra indirection to access the semaphore data, but since we only touch
that when blocking or awakening a process, there shouldn't be any
meaningful performance penalty.  Moreover, at least for the unnamed-POSIX
case on Linux, the sem_t type is quite a bit wider than a pointer, so this
reduces sizeof(PGPROC) which seems like a good thing.

For the named-POSIX API, there's effectively no change: the PGPROC.sem
field was and still is a pointer to something returned by sem_open() in
the postmaster's memory space.  Document and check the pre-existing
limitation that this case can't work in EXEC_BACKEND mode.

It did not seem worth unifying the Windows semaphore ABI with the Unix
cases, since there's no likelihood of needing ABI compatibility much less
runtime switching across those cases.  However, we can simplify the Windows
code a bit if we define PGSemaphore as being directly a HANDLE, rather than
pointer to HANDLE, so let's do that while we're here.  (This also ends up
being no change in what's physically stored in PGPROC.sem.  We're just
moving the HANDLE fetch from callees to callers.)

It would take a bunch of additional code shuffling to get to the point of
actually choosing a semaphore API at postmaster start, but the effects
of that would now be localized in the port/XXX_sema.c files, so it seems
like fit material for a separate patch.  The need for it is unproven as
yet, anyhow, whereas the ABI risk to extensions seems real enough.

Tom Lane cb775768e3 Try to find out the actual hugepage size when making a MAP_HUGETLB request.
Even if Linux's mmap() is okay with a partial-hugepage request, munmap()
is not, as reported by Chris Richards.  Therefore it behooves us to try
a bit harder to find out the actual hugepage size, instead of assuming
that we can skate by with a guess.

For the moment, just look into /proc/meminfo to find out the default
hugepage size, and use that.  Later, on kernels that support requests
for nondefault sizes, we might try to consider other alternatives.
But that smells more like a new feature than a bug fix, especially if
we want to provide any way for the DBA to control it, so leave it for
another day.

I set this up to allow easy addition of platform-specific code for
non-Linux platforms, if needed; but right now there are no reports
suggesting that we need to work harder on other platforms.

Tom Lane 15fc5e1581 Clean up handling of anonymous mmap'd shared-memory segment.
Fix detaching of the mmap'd segment to have its own on_shmem_exit callback,
rather than piggybacking on the one for detaching from the SysV segment.
That was confusing, and given the distance between the two attach calls,
it was trouble waiting to happen.

Make the detaching calls idempotent by clearing AnonymousShmem to show
we've already unmapped.  I spent quite a bit of time yesterday trying
to find a path that would allow the munmap()'s to be done twice, and
while I did not succeed, it seems silly that there's even a question.

Make the #ifdef logic less confusing by separating "do we want to use
anonymous shmem" from EXEC_BACKEND.  Even though there's no current
scenario where those conditions are different, it is not helpful for
different places in the same file to be testing EXEC_BACKEND for what
are fundamentally different reasons.

Don't do on_exit_reset() in StartBackgroundWorker().  At best that's
useless (InitPostmasterChild would have done it already) and at worst
it could zap some callback that's unrelated to shared memory.

Improve comments, and simplify the huge_pages enablement logic slightly.

Arguably this should go into 9.3 as well, but the code looks

Andres Freund b0779abb3a Fix fallback implementation of pg_atomic_write_u32().
I somehow had assumed that in the spinlock (in turn possibly using
semaphores) based fallback atomics implementation 32 bit writes could be
done without a lock. As far as the write goes that's correct, since
postgres supports only platforms with single-copy atomicity for aligned
32bit writes.  But writing without holding the spinlock breaks
read-modify-write operations like pg_atomic_compare_exchange_u32(),
since they'll potentially "miss" a concurrent write, which can't happen
in actual hardware implementations.

In 9.6+ when using the fallback atomics implementation this could lead
to buffer header locks not being properly marked as released, and
potentially some related state corruption.  I don't see a related danger
in 9.5 (earliest release with the API), because pg_atomic_write_u32()
wasn't used in a concurrent manner there.

The state variable of local buffers, before this change, were
manipulated using pg_atomic_write_u32(), to avoid unnecessary
synchronization overhead. As that'd not be the case anymore, introduce
and use pg_atomic_unlocked_write_u32(), which does not correctly
interact with RMW operations.

This bug only caused issues when postgres is compiled on platforms
without atomics support (i.e. no common new platform), or when compiled
with --disable-atomics, which explains why this wasn't noticed in
testing.

Tom Lane da6c4f6ca8 Refer to OS X as "macOS", except for the port name which is still "darwin".
We weren't terribly consistent about whether to call Apple's OS "OS X"
or "Mac OS X", and the former is probably confusing to people who aren't
Apple users.  Now that Apple has rebranded it "macOS", follow their lead
to establish a consistent naming pattern.  Also, avoid the use of the
ancient project name "Darwin", except as the port code name which does not
seem desirable to change.  (In short, this patch touches documentation and
comments, but no actual code.)

I didn't touch contrib/start-scripts/osx/, either.  I suspect those are
obsolete and due for a rewrite, anyway.

I dithered about whether to apply this edit to old release notes, but
those were responsible for quite a lot of the inconsistencies, so I ended
up changing them too.  Anyway, Apple's being ahistorical about this,
so why shouldn't we be?

Tom Lane 052cc223d5 Fix a bunch of places that called malloc and friends with no NULL check.
Where possible, use palloc or pg_malloc instead; otherwise, insert
explicit NULL checks.

Generally speaking, these are places where an actual OOM is quite
unlikely, either because they're in client programs that don't
allocate all that much, or they're very early in process startup
so that we'd likely have had a fork() failure instead.  Hence,
no back-patch, even though this is nominally a bug fix.

Tom Lane d1b7d4877b Provide errno-translation wrappers around bind() and listen() on Windows.
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.

Tom Lane 58666ed28a Fix latent portability issue in pgwin32_dispatch_queued_signals().
The first iteration of the signal-checking loop would compute sigmask(0)
which expands to 1<<(-1) which is undefined behavior according to the
C standard.  The lack of field reports of trouble suggest that it
evaluates to 0 on all existing Windows compilers, but that's hardly
something to rely on.  Since signal 0 isn't a queueable signal anyway,
we can just make the loop iterate from 1 instead, and save a few cycles
as well as avoiding the undefined behavior.

In passing, avoid evaluating the volatile expression UNBLOCKED_SIGNAL_QUEUE
twice in a row; there's no reason to waste cycles like that.

Tom Lane 7abc157165 Avoid possibly-unsafe use of Windows' FormatMessage() function.
Whenever this function is used with the FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_SYSTEM flag,
it's good practice to include FORMAT_MESSAGE_IGNORE_INSERTS as well.
Otherwise, if the message contains any %n insertion markers, the function
will try to fetch argument strings to substitute --- which we are not
passing, possibly leading to a crash.  This is exactly analogous to the
rule about not giving printf() a format string you're not in control of.

Andres Freund 72e2d21c12 Combine win32 and unix latch implementations.
Previously latches for windows and unix had been implemented in
different files. A later patch introduce an expanded wait
infrastructure, keeping the implementation separate would introduce too
much duplication.

This basically just moves the functions, without too much change. The
reason to keep this separate is that it allows blame to continue working
a little less badly; and to make review a tiny bit easier.

Andres Freund c4901a1e03 Only clear latch self-pipe/event if there is a pending notification.
This avoids a good number of, individually quite fast, system calls in
scenarios with many quick queries. Besides the aesthetic benefit of
seing fewer superflous system calls with strace, it also improves
performance by ~2% measured by pgbench -M prepared -c 96 -j 8 -S (scale
100).

Without having benchmarked it, this patch also adjust the windows code,
as that makes it easier to unify the unix/windows codepaths in a later
patch. There's little reason to diverge in behaviour between the
platforms.

Alvaro Herrera a967613911 Windows: Make pg_ctl reliably detect service status
pg_ctl is using isatty() to verify whether the process is running in a
terminal, and if not it sends its output to Windows' Event Log ... which
does the wrong thing when the output has been redirected to a pipe, as
reported in bug #13592.

To fix, make pg_ctl use the code we already have to detect service-ness:
in the master branch, move src/backend/port/win32/security.c to src/port
(with suitable tweaks so that it runs properly in backend and frontend
environments); pg_ctl already has access to pgport so it Just Works.  In
older branches, that's likely to cause trouble, so instead duplicate the
required code in pg_ctl.c.

Tom Lane 90e61df813 Fix treatment of *lpNumberOfBytesRecvd == 0: that's a completion condition.
pgwin32_recv() has treated a non-error return of zero bytes from WSARecv()
as being a reason to block ever since the current implementation was
introduced in commit a4c40f140d.  However, so far as one can tell
from Microsoft's documentation, that is just wrong: what it means is
graceful connection closure (in stream protocols) or receipt of a
zero-length message (in message protocols), and neither case should result
in blocking here.  The only reason the code worked at all was that control
then fell into the retry loop, which did *not* treat zero bytes specially,
so we'd get out after only wasting some cycles.  But as of 9.5 we do not
normally reach the retry loop and so the bug is exposed, as reported by
Shay Rojansky and diagnosed by Andres Freund.

Remove the unnecessary test on the byte count, and rearrange the code
in the retry loop so that it looks identical to the initial sequence.

Back-patch to 9.5.  The code is wrong all the way back, AFAICS, but
since it's relatively harmless in earlier branches we'll leave it alone.
