Tom Lane 1fada5d81e Add missing EmitWarningsOnPlaceholders() calls.
Extensions that define any custom GUCs should call
EmitWarningsOnPlaceholders after doing so, to help catch misspellings.
Many of our contrib modules hadn't gotten the memo on that, though.

Also add such calls to src/test/modules extensions that have GUCs.
While these aren't really user-facing, they should illustrate good
practice not faulty practice.

There's no longer any reason to fire up a separate psql run
to create these functions.  (Some refactoring in the main
regression tests is also called for, but that will take
more thought.)

Tom Lane d1029bb5a2 Remove dynamic translation of regression test scripts, step 1.
pg_regress has long had provisions for dynamically substituting path
names into regression test scripts and result files, but use of that
feature has always been a serious pain in the neck, mainly because
updating the result files requires tedious manual editing.  Let's
get rid of that in favor of passing down the paths in environment
variables.

In addition to being easier to maintain, this way is capable of
dealing with path names that require escaping at runtime, for example
paths containing single-quote marks.  (There are other stumbling
blocks in the way of actually building in a path that looks like
that, but removing this one seems like a good thing to do.)  The key
coding rule that makes that possible is to concatenate pieces of a
dynamically-variable string using psql's \set command, and then use
the :'variable' notation to quote and escape the string for the next
level of interpretation.

In hopes of making this change more transparent to "git blame",
I've split it into two steps.  This commit adds the necessary
pg_regress.c support and changes all the *.source files in-place
so that they no longer require any dynamic translation.  The next
commit will just "git mv" them into the regular sql/ and expected/
directories.

Tom Lane 33d3eeadb2 Add a \getenv command to psql.
\getenv fetches the value of an environment variable into a psql
variable.  This is the inverse of the \setenv command that was added
over ten years ago.  We'd not seen a compelling use-case for \getenv
at the time, but upcoming regression test refactoring provides a
sufficient reason to add it now.

John Naylor 911588a3f8 Add fast path for validating UTF-8 text
Our previous validator used a traditional algorithm that performed
comparison and branching one byte at a time. It's useful in that
we always know exactly how many bytes we have validated, but that
precision comes at a cost. Input validation can show up prominently
in profiles of COPY FROM, and future improvements to COPY FROM such
as parallelism or faster line parsing will put more pressure on input
validation. Hence, add fast paths for both ASCII and multibyte UTF-8:

Use bitwise operations to check 16 bytes at a time for ASCII. If
that fails, use a "shift-based" DFA on those bytes to handle the
general case, including multibyte. These paths are relatively free
of branches and thus robust against all kinds of byte patterns. With
these algorithms, UTF-8 validation is several times faster, depending
on platform and the input byte distribution.

The previous coding in pg_utf8_verifystr() is retained for short
strings and for when the fast path returns an error.

Tom Lane 944dc45d1b Fix the public schema's permissions in a separate test script.
In the wake of commit b073c3ccd, it's necessary to grant create
permissions on the public schema to PUBLIC to get many of the
core regression test scripts to pass.  That commit did so via the
quick-n-dirty expedient of adding the GRANT to the tablespace test,
which runs first.  This is problematic for single-machine
replication testing, though.  The least painful way to run the
regression tests on such a setup is to skip the tablespace test,
and that no longer works.

To fix, let's invent a separate "test_setup" script to run first,
and put the GRANT there.  Revert b073c3ccd's changes to
the tablespace.source files.

In the future it might be good to try to reduce coupling between
the various test scripts by having test_setup create widely-used
objects, with the goal that most of the scripts could run after
having run only test_setup.  That's going to take some effort,
so this commit just addresses my immediate pain point.

Peter Eisentraut 3c6f8c011f Simplify the general-purpose 64-bit integer parsing APIs
pg_strtouint64() is a wrapper around strtoull/strtoul/_strtoui64, but
it seems no longer necessary to have this indirection.
msvc/Solution.pm claims HAVE_STRTOULL, so the "MSVC only" part seems
unnecessary.  Also, we have code in c.h to substitute alternatives for
strtoull() if not found, and that would appear to cover all currently
supported platforms, so having a further fallback in pg_strtouint64()
seems unnecessary.

Therefore, we could remove pg_strtouint64(), and use strtoull()
directly in all call sites.  However, it seems useful to keep a
separate notation for parsing exactly 64-bit integers, matching the
type definition int64/uint64.  For that, add new macros strtoi64() and
strtou64() in c.h as thin wrappers around strtol()/strtoul() or
strtoll()/stroull().  This makes these functions available everywhere
instead of just in the server code, and it makes the function naming
notably different from the pg_strtointNN() functions in numutils.c,
which have a different API.

Tom Lane 9c356f4b2d Ensure casting to typmod -1 generates a RelabelType.
Fix the code changed by commit 5c056b0c2 so that we always generate
RelabelType, not something else, for a cast to unspecified typmod.
Otherwise planner optimizations might not happen.

It appears we missed this point because the previous experiments were
done on type numeric: the parser undesirably generates a call on the
numeric() length-coercion function, but then numeric_support()
optimizes that down to a RelabelType, so that everything seems fine.
It misbehaves for types that have a non-optimized length coercion
function, such as bpchar.

Per report from John Naylor.  Back-patch to all supported branches,
as the previous patch eventually was.  Unfortunately, that no longer
includes 9.6 ... we really shouldn't put this type of change into a
nearly-EOL branch.

Tom Lane bbc227e951 Always use ReleaseTupleDesc after lookup_rowtype_tupdesc et al.
The API spec for lookup_rowtype_tupdesc previously said you could use
either ReleaseTupleDesc or DecrTupleDescRefCount.  However, the latter
choice means the caller must be certain that the returned tupdesc is
refcounted.  I don't recall right now whether that was always true
when this spec was written, but it's certainly not always true since
we introduced shared record typcaches for parallel workers.  That means
that callers using DecrTupleDescRefCount are dependent on typcache
behavior details that they probably shouldn't be.  Hence, change the API
spec to say that you must call ReleaseTupleDesc, and fix the half-dozen
callers that weren't.

AFAICT this is just future-proofing, there's no live bug here.
So no back-patch.

Amit Kapila 22bd3cbe0c Improve parallel vacuum implementation.
Previously, in parallel vacuum, we allocated shmem area of
IndexBulkDeleteResult only for indexes where parallel index vacuuming is
safe and had null-bitmap in shmem area to access them. This logic was too
complicated with a small benefit of saving only a few bits per indexes.

In this commit, we allocate a dedicated shmem area for the array of
LVParallelIndStats that includes a parallel-safety flag, the index vacuum
status, and IndexBulkdeleteResult. There is one array element for every
index, even those indexes where parallel index vacuuming is unsafe or not
worthwhile. This commit makes the code clear by removing all
bitmap-related code.

Also, add the check each index vacuum status after parallel index vacuum
to make sure that all indexes have been processed.

Finally, rename parallel vacuum functions to parallel_vacuum_* for
consistency.

Michael Paquier 7acd01015c Adjust behavior of some env settings for the TAP tests of MSVC
edc2332 has introduced in vcregress.pl some control on the environment
variables LZ4, TAR and GZIP_PROGRAM to allow any TAP tests to be able
use those commands.  This makes the settings more consistent with
src/Makefile.global.in, as the same default gets used for Make and MSVC
builds.

Each parameter can be changed in buildenv.pl, but as a default gets
assigned after loading buldenv.pl, it is not possible to unset any of
these, and using an empty value would not work with "||=" either.  As
some environments may not have a compatible command in their PATH (tar
coming from MinGW is an issue, for one), this could break tests without
an exit path to bypass any failing test.  This commit changes things so
as the default values for LZ4, TAR and GZIP_PROGRAM are assigned before
loading buildenv.pl, not after.  This way, we keep the same amount of
compatibility as a GNU build with the same defaults, and it becomes
possible to unset any of those values.

While on it, this adds some documentation about those three variables in
the section dedicated to the TAP tests for MSVC.

Robert Haas fa0e03c15a Remove InitXLOGAccess().
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.

Robert Haas 64da07c41a Default to log_checkpoints=on, log_autovacuum_min_duration=10m
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.

Michael Paquier c8b733c4c4 Improve description of some WAL records with transaction commands
This commit improves the description of some WAL records for the
Transaction RMGR:
- Track remote_apply for a transaction commit.  This GUC is
user-settable, so this information can be useful for debugging.
- Add replication origin information for PREPARE TRANSACTION, with the
origin ID, LSN and timestamp
- Same as above, for ROLLBACK PREPARED.

This impacts the format of pg_waldump or anything using these
description routines, so no backpatch is done.

Tom Lane 07eee5a0dc Create a new type category for "internal use" types.
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.

Tomas Vondra fe60b67250 Move test for BRIN HOT behavior to stats.sql
The test added by 5753d4ee32 relies on statistics collector, and so it
may occasionally fail when the UDP packet gets lost. Some machines may
be susceptible to this, probably depending on load etc.

Move the test to stats.sql, which is known to already have this issue
and people know to ignore it.

Thomas Munro e2f0f8ed25 Check for STATUS_DELETE_PENDING on Windows.
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.

Amit Kapila 5e97905a2c Fix double publish of child table's data.
We publish the child table's data twice for a publication that has both
child and parent tables and is published with publish_via_partition_root
as true. This happens because subscribers will initiate synchronization
using both parent and child tables, since it gets both as separate tables
in the initial table list.

Ensure that pg_publication_tables returns only parent tables in such
cases.

Peter Geoghegan bcf60585e6 Standardize cleanup lock terminology.
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.

List types numeric and timestamptz, which don't seem to have ever been
included here.  Restore bigint, which was no-doubt-accidentally deleted
in v12.  Fix some errors, or at least obsolete usages (nobody declares
float arguments as "float8*" anymore, even though they might be that
under the hood).  Re-alphabetize.  Remove the seeming claim that this
is a complete list of built-in types.

Fujii Masao 815d61fcd4 postgres_fdw: Report warning when timeout expires while getting query result.
When aborting remote transaction or sending cancel request to a remote server,
postgres_fdw calls pgfdw_get_cleanup_result() to wait for the result of
transaction abort query or cancel request to arrive. It fails to get the result
if the timeout expires or a connection trouble happens.

Previously postgres_fdw reported no warning message even when the timeout
expired or a connection trouble happened in pgfdw_get_cleanup_result().
This could make the troubleshooting harder when such an event occurred.

This commit makes pgfdw_get_cleanup_result() tell its caller what trouble
(timeout or connection error) occurred, on failure, and also makes its caller
report the proper warning message based on that information.

Peter Eisentraut d6f96ed94e Allow specifying column list for foreign key ON DELETE SET actions
Extend the foreign key ON DELETE actions SET NULL and SET DEFAULT by
allowing the specification of a column list, like

    CREATE TABLE posts (
        ...
        FOREIGN KEY (tenant_id, author_id) REFERENCES users ON DELETE SET NULL (author_id)
    );

If a column list is specified, only those columns are set to
null/default, instead of all the columns in the foreign-key
constraint.

This is useful for multitenant or sharded schemas, where the tenant or
shard ID is included in the primary key of all tables but shouldn't be
set to null.
