Tom Lane 305cf1fd72 Fix AggGetAggref() so it won't lie to aggregate final functions.
If we merge the transition calculations for two different aggregates,
it's reasonable to assume that the transition function should not care
which of those Aggref structs it gets from AggGetAggref().  It is not
reasonable to make the same assumption about an aggregate final function,
however.  Commit 804163bc2 broke this, as it will pass whichever Aggref
was first associated with the transition state in both cases.

This doesn't create an observable bug so far as the core system is
concerned, because the only existing uses of AggGetAggref() are in
ordered-set aggregates that happen to not pay attention to anything
but the input properties of the Aggref; and besides that, we disabled
sharing of transition calculations for OSAs yesterday.  Nonetheless,
if some third-party code were using AggGetAggref() in a normal aggregate,
they would be entitled to call this a bug.  Hence, back-patch the fix
to 9.6 where the problem was introduced.

In passing, improve some of the comments about transition state sharing.

Tom Lane 52328727be Prevent sharing transition states between ordered-set aggregates.
This ought to work, but the built-in OSAs are not capable of coping,
because their final-functions destructively modify their transition
state (specifically, the contained tuplesort object).  That was fine
when those functions were written, but commit 804163bc2 moved the
goalposts without telling orderedsetaggs.c.

We should fix the built-in OSAs to support this, but it will take
a little work, especially if we don't want to sacrifice performance
in the normal non-shared-state case.  Given that it took a year after
9.6 release for anyone to notice this bug, we should not prioritize
sharable-state over nonsharable-state performance.  And a proper fix
is likely to be more complicated than we'd want to back-patch, too.

Therefore, let's just put in this stop-gap patch to prevent nodeAgg.c
from choosing to use shared state for OSAs.  We can revert it in HEAD
when we get a better fix.

Robert Haas cff440d368 pg_stat_statements: Widen query IDs from 32 bits to 64 bits.
This takes advantage of the infrastructure introduced by commit
81c5e46c49 to greatly reduce the
likelihood that two different queries will end up with the same query
ID.  It's still possible, of course, but whereas before it the chances
of a collision reached 25% around 50,000 queries, it will now take
more than 3 billion queries.

Backward incompatibility: Because the type exposed at the SQL level is
int8, users may now see negative query IDs in the pg_stat_statements
view (and also, query IDs more than 4 billion, which was the old
limit).

Andres Freund 84ad4b036d Reduce memory usage of targetlist SRFs.
Previously nodeProjectSet only released memory once per input tuple,
rather than once per returned tuple. If the computation of an
individual returned tuple requires a lot of memory, that can lead to
problems.

Instead change things so that the expression context can be reset once
per output tuple, which requires a new memory context to store SRF
arguments in.

This is a longstanding issue, but was hard to fix before 9.6, due to
the way tSRFs where evaluated. But it's fairly easy to fix now. We
could backpatch this into 10, but given there've been fewc omplaints
that doesn't seem worth the risk so far.

Tom Lane 1518d07842 Fix crash when logical decoding is invoked from a PL function.
The logical decoding functions do BeginInternalSubTransaction and
RollbackAndReleaseCurrentSubTransaction to clean up after themselves.
It turns out that AtEOSubXact_SPI has an unrecognized assumption that
we always need to cancel the active SPI operation in the SPI context
that surrounds the subtransaction (if there is one).  That's true
when the RollbackAndReleaseCurrentSubTransaction call is coming from
the SPI-using function itself, but not when it's happening inside
some unrelated function invoked by a SPI query.  In practice the
affected callers are the various PLs.

To fix, record the current subtransaction ID when we begin a SPI
operation, and clean up only if that ID is the subtransaction being
canceled.

Also, remove AtEOSubXact_SPI's assertion that it must have cleaned
up the surrounding SPI context's active tuptable.  That's proven
wrong by the same test case.

Also clarify (or, if you prefer, reinterpret) the calling conventions
for _SPI_begin_call and _SPI_end_call.  The memory context cleanup
in the latter means that these have always had the flavor of a matched
resource-management pair, but they weren't documented that way before.

Per report from Ben Chobot.

Back-patch to 9.4 where logical decoding came in.  In principle,
the SPI changes should go all the way back, since the problem dates
back to commit 7ec1c5a86.  But given the lack of field complaints
it seems few people are using internal subtransactions in this way.
So I don't feel a need to take any risks in 9.2/9.3.

Alvaro Herrera a5736bf754 Fix traversal of half-frozen update chains
When some tuple versions in an update chain are frozen due to them being
older than freeze_min_age, the xmax/xmin trail can become broken.  This
breaks HOT (and probably other things).  A subsequent VACUUM can break
things in more serious ways, such as leaving orphan heap-only tuples
whose root HOT redirect items were removed.  This can be seen because
index creation (or REINDEX) complain like
  ERROR:  XX000: failed to find parent tuple for heap-only tuple at (0,7) in table "t"

Because of relfrozenxid contraints, we cannot avoid the freezing of the
early tuples, so we must cope with the results: whenever we see an Xmin
of FrozenTransactionId, consider it a match for whatever the previous
Xmax value was.

This problem seems to have appeared in 9.3 with multixact changes,
though strictly speaking it seems unrelated.

Since 9.4 we have commit 37484ad2a "Change the way we mark tuples as
frozen", so the fix is simple: just compare the raw Xmin (still stored
in the tuple header, since freezing merely set an infomask bit) to the
Xmax.  But in 9.3 we rewrite the Xmin value to FrozenTransactionId, so
the original value is lost and we have nothing to compare the Xmax with.
To cope with that case we need to compare the Xmin with FrozenXid,
assume it's a match, and hope for the best.  Sadly, since you can
pg_upgrade a 9.3 instance containing half-frozen pages to newer
releases, we need to keep the old check in newer versions too, which
seems a bit brittle; I hope we can somehow get rid of that.

I didn't optimize the new function for performance.  The new coding is
probably a bit slower than before, since there is a function call rather
than a straight comparison, but I'd rather have it work correctly than
be fast but wrong.

This is a followup after 20b6552242 fixed a few related problems.
Apparently, in 9.6 and up there are more ways to get into trouble, but
in 9.3 - 9.5 I cannot reproduce a problem anymore with this patch, so
there must be a separate bug.

Tom Lane c12d570fa1 Support arrays over domains.
Allowing arrays with a domain type as their element type was left un-done
in the original domain patch, but not for any very good reason.  This
omission leads to such surprising results as array_agg() not working on
a domain column, because the parser can't identify a suitable output type
for the polymorphic aggregate.

In order to fix this, first clean up the APIs of coerce_to_domain() and
some internal functions in parse_coerce.c so that we consistently pass
around a CoercionContext along with CoercionForm.  Previously, we sometimes
passed an "isExplicit" boolean flag instead, which is strictly less
information; and coerce_to_domain() didn't even get that, but instead had
to reverse-engineer isExplicit from CoercionForm.  That's contrary to the
documentation in primnodes.h that says that CoercionForm only affects
display and not semantics.  I don't think this change fixes any live bugs,
but it makes things more consistent.  The main reason for doing it though
is that now build_coercion_expression() receives ccontext, which it needs
in order to be able to recursively invoke coerce_to_target_type().

Next, reimplement ArrayCoerceExpr so that the node does not directly know
any details of what has to be done to the individual array elements while
performing the array coercion.  Instead, the per-element processing is
represented by a sub-expression whose input is a source array element and
whose output is a target array element.  This simplifies life in
parse_coerce.c, because it can build that sub-expression by a recursive
invocation of coerce_to_target_type().  The executor now handles the
per-element processing as a compiled expression instead of hard-wired code.
The main advantage of this is that we can use a single ArrayCoerceExpr to
handle as many as three successive steps per element: base type conversion,
typmod coercion, and domain constraint checking.  The old code used two
stacked ArrayCoerceExprs to handle type + typmod coercion, which was pretty
inefficient, and adding yet another array deconstruction to do domain
constraint checking seemed very unappetizing.

In the case where we just need a single, very simple coercion function,
doing this straightforwardly leads to a noticeable increase in the
per-array-element runtime cost.  Hence, add an additional shortcut evalfunc
in execExprInterp.c that skips unnecessary overhead for that specific form
of expression.  The runtime speed of simple cases is within 1% or so of
where it was before, while cases that previously required two levels of
array processing are significantly faster.

Finally, create an implicit array type for every domain type, as we do for
base types, enums, etc.  Everything except the array-coercion case seems
to just work without further effort.

Tom Lane 136ab7c5a5 Marginal improvement for generated code in execExprInterp.c.
Avoid the coding pattern "*op->resvalue = f();", as some compilers think
that requires them to evaluate "op->resvalue" before the function call.
Unless there are lots of free registers, this can lead to a useless
register spill and reload across the call.

I changed all the cases like this in ExecInterpExpr(), but didn't bother
in the out-of-line opcode eval subroutines, since those are presumably
not as performance-critical.

Tom Lane 716ea626a8 Make construct_[md_]array return a valid empty array for zero-size input.
If construct_array() or construct_md_array() were given a dimension of
zero, they'd produce an array that contains no elements but has positive
dimension.  This violates a general expectation that empty arrays should
have ndims = 0; in particular, while arrays like this print as empty,
they don't compare equal to other empty arrays.

Up to now we've expected callers to avoid making such calls and instead
be careful to call construct_empty_array() if there would be no elements.
But this has always been an easily missed case, and we've repeatedly had to
fix callers to do it right.  In bug #14826, Erwin Brandstetter pointed out
yet another such oversight, in ts_lexize(); and a bit of examination of
other call sites found at least two more with similar issues.  So let's
fix the problem centrally and permanently by changing these two functions
to construct a proper zero-D empty array whenever the array would be empty.

This renders a few explicit calls of construct_empty_array() redundant,
but the only such place I found that really seemed worth changing was in
ExecEvalArrayExpr().

Although this fixes some very old bugs, no back-patch: the problem is
pretty minor and the risk of changing behavior seems to outweigh the
benefit in stable branches.

Tom Lane 0f79440fb0 Fix SQL-spec incompatibilities in new transition table feature.
The standard says that all changes of the same kind (insert, update, or
delete) caused in one table by a single SQL statement should be reported
in a single transition table; and by that, they mean to include foreign key
enforcement actions cascading from the statement's direct effects.  It's
also reasonable to conclude that if the standard had wCTEs, they would say
that effects of wCTEs applying to the same table as each other or the outer
statement should be merged into one transition table.  We weren't doing it
like that.

Hence, arrange to merge tuples from multiple update actions into a single
transition table as much as we can.  There is a problem, which is that if
the firing of FK enforcement triggers and after-row triggers with
transition tables is interspersed, we might need to report more tuples
after some triggers have already seen the transition table.  It seems like
a bad idea for the transition table to be mutable between trigger calls.
There's no good way around this without a major redesign of the FK logic,
so for now, resolve it by opening a new transition table each time this
happens.

Also, ensure that AFTER STATEMENT triggers fire just once per statement,
or once per transition table when we're forced to make more than one.
Previous versions of Postgres have allowed each FK enforcement query
to cause an additional firing of the AFTER STATEMENT triggers for the
referencing table, but that's certainly not per spec.  (We're still
doing multiple firings of BEFORE STATEMENT triggers, though; is that
something worth changing?)

Also, forbid using transition tables with column-specific UPDATE triggers.
The spec requires such transition tables to show only the tuples for which
the UPDATE trigger would have fired, which means maintaining multiple
transition tables or else somehow filtering the contents at readout.
Maybe someday we'll bother to support that option, but it looks like a
lot of trouble for a marginal feature.

The transition tables are now managed by the AfterTriggers data structures,
rather than being directly the responsibility of ModifyTable nodes.  This
removes a subtransaction-lifespan memory leak introduced by my previous
band-aid patch 3c4359521.

In passing, refactor the AfterTriggers data structures to reduce the
management overhead for them, by using arrays of structs rather than
several parallel arrays for per-query-level and per-subtransaction state.

I failed to resist the temptation to do some copy-editing on the SGML
docs about triggers, above and beyond merely documenting the effects
of this patch.

Back-patch to v10, because we don't want the semantics of transition
tables to change post-release.

Tom Lane 3c43595217 Quick-hack fix for foreign key cascade vs triggers with transition tables.
AFTER triggers using transition tables crashed if they were fired due
to a foreign key ON CASCADE update.  This is because ExecEndModifyTable
flushes the transition tables, on the assumption that any trigger that
could need them was already fired during ExecutorFinish.  Normally
that's true, because we don't allow transition-table-using triggers
to be deferred.  However, foreign key CASCADE updates force any
triggers on the referencing table to be deferred to the outer query
level, by means of the EXEC_FLAG_SKIP_TRIGGERS flag.  I don't recall
all the details of why it's like that and am pretty loath to redesign
it right now.  Instead, just teach ExecEndModifyTable to skip destroying
the TransitionCaptureState when that flag is set.  This will allow the
transition table data to survive until end of the current subtransaction.

This isn't a terribly satisfactory solution, because (1) we might be
leaking the transition tables for much longer than really necessary,
and (2) as things stand, an AFTER STATEMENT trigger will fire once per
RI updating query, ie once per row updated or deleted in the referenced
table.  I suspect that is not per SQL spec.  But redesigning this is a
research project that we're certainly not going to get done for v10.
So let's go with this hackish answer for now.

In passing, tweak AfterTriggerSaveEvent to not save the transition_capture
pointer into the event record for a deferrable trigger.  This is not
necessary to fix the current bug, but it avoids letting dangling pointers
to long-gone transition tables persist in the trigger event queue.  That's
at least a safety feature.  It might also allow merging shared trigger
states in more cases than before.

I added a regression test that demonstrates the crash on unpatched code,
and also exposes the behavior of firing the AFTER STATEMENT triggers
once per row update.

Per bug #14808 from Philippe Beaudoin.  Back-patch to v10.

Tom Lane 2d44c58c79 Avoid memory leaks when a GatherMerge node is rescanned.
Rescanning a GatherMerge led to leaking some memory in the executor's
query-lifespan context, because most of the node's working data structures
were simply abandoned and rebuilt from scratch.  In practice, this might
never amount to much, given the cost of relaunching worker processes ---
but it's still pretty messy, so let's fix it.

We can rearrange things so that the tuple arrays are simply cleared and
reused, and we don't need to rebuild the TupleTableSlots either, just
clear them.  One small complication is that because we might get a
different number of workers on each iteration, we can't keep the old
convention that the leader's gm_slots[] entry is the last one; the leader
might clobber a TupleTableSlot that we need for a worker in a future
iteration.  Hence, adjust the logic so that the leader has slot 0 always,
while the active workers have slots 1..n.

Back-patch to v10 to keep all the existing versions of nodeGatherMerge.c
in sync --- because of the renumbering of the slots, there would otherwise
be a very large risk that any future backpatches in this module would
introduce bugs.

Tom Lane 6708e447ef Clean up shm_mq cleanup.
The logic around shm_mq_detach was a few bricks shy of a load, because
(contrary to the comments for shm_mq_attach) all it did was update the
shared shm_mq state.  That left us leaking a bit of process-local
memory, but much worse, the on_dsm_detach callback for shm_mq_detach
was still armed.  That means that whenever we ultimately detach from
the DSM segment, we'd run shm_mq_detach again for already-detached,
possibly long-dead queues.  This accidentally fails to fail today,
because we only ever re-use a shm_mq's memory for another shm_mq, and
multiple detach attempts on the last such shm_mq are fairly harmless.
But it's gonna bite us someday, so let's clean it up.

To do that, change shm_mq_detach's API so it takes a shm_mq_handle
not the underlying shm_mq.  This makes the callers simpler in most
cases anyway.  Also fix a few places in parallel.c that were just
pfree'ing the handle structs rather than doing proper cleanup.

Back-patch to v10 because of the risk that the revenant shm_mq_detach
callbacks would cause a live bug sometime.  Since this is an API
change, it's too late to do it in 9.6.  (We could make a variant
patch that preserves API, but I'm not excited enough to do that.)

that we have no qual to check.  (If we did, the code would fail to check

it's confusing and it makes the code less legible not more so IMO.

Tom Lane 41b0dd987d Separate reinitialization of shared parallel-scan state from ExecReScan.
Previously, the parallel executor logic did reinitialization of shared
state within the ExecReScan code for parallel-aware scan nodes.  This is
problematic, because it means that the ExecReScan call has to occur
synchronously (ie, during the parent Gather node's ReScan call).  That is
swimming very much against the tide so far as the ExecReScan machinery is
concerned; the fact that it works at all today depends on a lot of fragile
assumptions, such as that no plan node between Gather and a parallel-aware
scan node is parameterized.  Another objection is that because ExecReScan
might be called in workers as well as the leader, hacky extra tests are
needed in some places to prevent unwanted shared-state resets.

Hence, let's separate this code into two functions, a ReInitializeDSM
call and the ReScan call proper.  ReInitializeDSM is called only in
the leader and is guaranteed to run before we start new workers.
ReScan is returned to its traditional function of resetting only local
state, which means that ExecReScan's usual habits of delaying or
eliminating child rescan calls are safe again.

As with the preceding commit 7df2c1f8d, it doesn't seem to be necessary
to make these changes in 9.6, which is a good thing because the FDW and
CustomScan APIs are impacted.

Tom Lane 7df2c1f8da Force rescanning of parallel-aware scan nodes below a Gather[Merge].
The ExecReScan machinery contains various optimizations for postponing
or skipping rescans of plan subtrees; for example a HashAgg node may
conclude that it can re-use the table it built before, instead of
re-reading its input subtree.  But that is wrong if the input contains
a parallel-aware table scan node, since the portion of the table scanned
by the leader process is likely to vary from one rescan to the next.
This explains the timing-dependent buildfarm failures we saw after
commit a2b70c89c.

The established mechanism for showing that a plan node's output is
potentially variable is to mark it as depending on some runtime Param.
Hence, to fix this, invent a dummy Param (one that has a PARAM_EXEC
parameter number, but carries no actual value) associated with each Gather
or GatherMerge node, mark parallel-aware nodes below that node as dependent
on that Param, and arrange for ExecReScanGather[Merge] to flag that Param
as changed whenever the Gather[Merge] node is rescanned.

This solution breaks an undocumented assumption made by the parallel
executor logic, namely that all rescans of nodes below a Gather[Merge]
will happen synchronously during the ReScan of the top node itself.
But that's fundamentally contrary to the design of the ExecReScan code,
and so was doomed to fail someday anyway (even if you want to argue
that the bug being fixed here wasn't a failure of that assumption).
A follow-on patch will address that issue.  In the meantime, the worst
that's expected to happen is that given very bad timing luck, the leader
might have to do all the work during a rescan, because workers think
they have nothing to do, if they are able to start up before the eventual
ReScan of the leader's parallel-aware table scan node has reset the
shared scan state.

Although this problem exists in 9.6, there does not seem to be any way
for it to manifest there.  Without GatherMerge, it seems that a plan tree
that has a rescan-short-circuiting node below Gather will always also
have one above it that will short-circuit in the same cases, preventing
the Gather from being rescanned.  Hence we won't take the risk of
back-patching this change into 9.6.  But v10 needs it.

were shown only for any sorting done by the leader.  Fix that.

that again, with a little tweaking to make it pass with and without

Robert Haas 3452dc5240 Push tuple limits through Gather and Gather Merge.
If we only need, say, 10 tuples in total, then we certainly don't need
more than 10 tuples from any single process.  Pushing down the limit
lets workers exit early when possible.  For Gather Merge, there is
an additional benefit: a Sort immediately below the Gather Merge can
be done as a bounded sort if there is an applicable limit.

Tom Lane 3f4c7917b3 Code review for pushing LIMIT through subqueries.
Minor improvements for commit 1f6d515a6.  We do not need the (rather
expensive) test for SRFs in the targetlist, because since v10 any
such SRFs would appear in separate ProjectSet nodes.  Also, make the
code look more like the existing cases by turning it into a simple
recursion --- the argument that there might be some performance
benefit to contorting the code seems unfounded to me, especially since
any good compiler should turn the tail-recursion into iteration anyway.

Andres Freund cc9f08b6b8 Move ExecProcNode from dispatch to function pointer based model.
This allows us to add stack-depth checks the first time an executor
node is called, and skip that overhead on following
calls. Additionally it yields a nice speedup.

While it'd probably have been a good idea to have that check all
along, it has become more important after the new expression
evaluation framework in b8d7f053c5 - there's no stack depth
check in common paths anymore now. We previously relied on
ExecEvalExpr() being executed somewhere.

We should move towards that model for further routines, but as this is
required for v10, it seems better to only do the necessary (which
already is quite large).

Andres Freund d47cfef711 Move interrupt checking from ExecProcNode() to executor nodes.
In a followup commit ExecProcNode(), and especially the large switch
it contains, will largely be replaced by a function pointer directly
to the correct node. The node functions will then get invoked by a
thin inline function wrapper. To avoid having to include miscadmin.h
in headers - CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() - move the interrupt checks into
the individual executor routines.

While looking through all executor nodes, I noticed a number of
arguably missing interrupt checks, add these too.

Tom Lane decb08ebdf Code review for NextValueExpr expression node type.
Add missing infrastructure for this node type, notably in ruleutils.c where
its lack could demonstrably cause EXPLAIN to fail.  Add outfuncs/readfuncs
support.  (outfuncs support is useful today for debugging purposes.  The
readfuncs support may never be needed, since at present it would only
matter for parallel query and NextValueExpr should never appear in a
parallelizable query; but it seems like a bad idea to have a primnode type
that isn't fully supported here.)  Teach planner infrastructure that
NextValueExpr is a volatile, parallel-unsafe, non-leaky expression node
with cost cpu_operator_cost.  Given its limited scope of usage, there
*might* be no live bug today from the lack of that knowledge, but it's
certainly going to bite us on the rear someday.  Teach pg_stat_statements
about the new node type, too.

While at it, also teach cost_qual_eval() that MinMaxExpr, SQLValueFunction,
XmlExpr, and CoerceToDomain should be charged as cpu_operator_cost.
Failing to do this for SQLValueFunction was an oversight in my commit
0bb51aa96.  The others are longer-standing oversights, but no time like the
present to fix them.  (In principle, CoerceToDomain could have cost much
higher than this, but it doesn't presently seem worth trying to examine the
domain's constraints here.)

Modify execExprInterp.c to execute NextValueExpr as an out-of-line
function; it seems quite unlikely to me that it's worth insisting that
it be inlined in all expression eval methods.  Besides, providing the
out-of-line function doesn't stop anyone from inlining if they want to.

Adjust some places where NextValueExpr support had been inserted with the
aid of a dartboard rather than keeping it in the same order as elsewhere.
