Fujii Masao 113d3591b8 Fix segmentation fault that commit ac22929a26 caused.
Commit ac22929a26 changed recoveryWakeupLatch so that it's reset to
NULL at the end of recovery. This change could cause a segmentation fault
in the buildfarm member 'elver'.

Previously the latch was reset to NULL after calling ShutdownWalRcv().
But there could be a window between ShutdownWalRcv() and the actual
exit of walreceiver. If walreceiver set the latch during that window,
the segmentation fault could happen.

To fix the issue, this commit changes walreceiver so that it sets
the latch only when the latch has not been reset to NULL yet.

Fujii Masao ac22929a26 Get rid of the dedicated latch for signaling the startup process.
This commit gets rid of the dedicated latch for signaling the startup
process in favor of using its procLatch,  since that comports better
with possible generic signal handlers using that latch.

Commit 1e53fe0e70 changed background processes so that they use standard
SIGHUP handler. Like that, this commit also makes the startup process use
standard SIGHUP handler to simplify the code.

Some places were using PG_GETARG_UINT32 where PG_GETARG_TRANSACTIONID
would be more appropriate.  (Of course, they are the same internally,
so there is no externally visible effect.)  To do that, export

Andres Freund 94bc27b576 Centralize horizon determination for temp tables, fixing bug due to skew.
This fixes a bug in the edge case where, for a temp table, heap_page_prune()
can end up with a different horizon than heap_vacuum_rel(). Which can trigger
errors like "ERROR: cannot freeze committed xmax ...".

The bug was introduced due to interaction of a7212be8b9 "Set cutoff xmin more
aggressively when vacuuming a temporary table." with dc7420c2c9 "snapshot
scalability: Don't compute global horizons while building snapshots.".

The problem is caused by lazy_scan_heap() assuming that the only reason its
HeapTupleSatisfiesVacuum() call would return HEAPTUPLE_DEAD is if the tuple is
a HOT tuple, or if the tuple's inserting transaction has aborted since the
heap_page_prune() call. But after a7212be8b9 that was also possible in other
cases for temp tables, because heap_page_prune() uses a different visibility
test after dc7420c2c9.

The fix is fairly simple: Move the special case logic for temp tables from
vacuum_set_xid_limits() to the infrastructure introduced in dc7420c2c9. That
ensures that the horizon used for pruning is at least as aggressive as the one
used by lazy_scan_heap(). The concrete horizon used for temp tables is
slightly different than the logic in dc7420c2c9, but should always be as
aggressive as before (see comments).

A significant benefit to centralizing the logic procarray.c is that now the
more aggressive horizons for temp tables does not just apply to VACUUM but
also to e.g. HOT pruning and the nbtree killtuples logic.

Because isTopLevel is not needed by vacuum_set_xid_limits() anymore, I
undid the the related changes from a7212be8b9.

This commit also adds an isolation test ensuring that the more aggressive
vacuuming and pruning of temp tables keeps working.

Alvaro Herrera 85adb5e91e Remove pointless HeapTupleHeaderIndicatesMovedPartitions calls
Pavan Deolasee recently noted that a few of the
HeapTupleHeaderIndicatesMovedPartitions calls added by commit
5db6df0c01 are useless, since they are done after comparing t_self
with t_ctid.  But because t_self can never be set to the magical values
that indicate that the tuple moved partition, this can never succeed: if
the first test fails (so we know t_self equals t_ctid), necessarily the
second test will also fail.

So these checks can be removed and no harm is done.

A number of places were using appendStringInfo() when they could have been
using appendStringInfoString() instead.  While there's no functionality
change there, it's just more efficient to use appendStringInfoString()
when no formatting is required.  Likewise for some
appendStringInfoString() calls which were just appending a single char.
We can just use appendStringInfoChar() for that.

Additionally, many places were using appendPQExpBuffer() when they could
have used appendPQExpBufferStr(). Change those too.

Tom Lane 78c0b6ed27 Re-allow testing of GiST buffered builds.
Commit 16fa9b2b3 broke the ability to reliably test GiST buffered builds,
because it caused sorted builds to be done instead if sortsupport is
available, regardless of any attempt to override that.  While a would-be
test case could try to work around that by choosing an opclass that has
no sortsupport function, coverage would be silently lost the moment
someone decides it'd be a good idea to add a sortsupport function.

Hence, rearrange the logic in gistbuild() so that if "buffering = on"
is specified in CREATE INDEX, we will use that method, sortsupport or no.

Also document the interaction between sorting and the buffering
parameter, as 16fa9b2b3 failed to do.

(Note that in fact we still lack any test coverage of buffered builds,
but this is a prerequisite to adding a non-fragile test.)

Thomas Munro dee663f784 Defer flushing of SLRU files.
Previously, we called fsync() after writing out individual pg_xact,
pg_multixact and pg_commit_ts pages due to cache pressure, leading to
regular I/O stalls in user backends and recovery.  Collapse requests for
the same file into a single system call as part of the next checkpoint,
as we already did for relation files, using the infrastructure developed
by commit 3eb77eba.  This can cause a significant improvement to
recovery performance, especially when it's otherwise CPU-bound.

Hoist ProcessSyncRequests() up into CheckPointGuts() to make it clearer
that it applies to all the SLRU mini-buffer-pools as well as the main
buffer pool.  Rearrange things so that data collected in CheckpointStats
includes SLRU activity.

Also remove the Shutdown{CLOG,CommitTS,SUBTRANS,MultiXact}() functions,
because they were redundant after the shutdown checkpoint that
immediately precedes them.  (I'm not sure if they were ever needed, but
they aren't now.)

Heikki Linnakangas 16fa9b2b30 Add support for building GiST index by sorting.
This adds a new optional support function to the GiST access method:
sortsupport. If it is defined, the GiST index is built by sorting all data
to the order defined by the sortsupport's comparator function, and packing
the tuples in that order to GiST pages. This is similar to how B-tree
index build works, and is much faster than inserting the tuples one by
one. The resulting index is smaller too, because the pages are packed more
tightly, upto 'fillfactor'. The normal build method works by splitting
pages, which tends to lead to more wasted space.

The quality of the resulting index depends on how good the opclass-defined
sort order is. A good order preserves locality of the input data.

As the first user of this facility, add 'sortsupport' function to the
point_ops opclass. It sorts the points in Z-order (aka Morton Code), by
interleaving the bits of the X and Y coordinates.

Michael Paquier 1d65416661 Improve handling of dropped relations for REINDEX DATABASE/SCHEMA/SYSTEM
When multiple relations are reindexed, a scan of pg_class is done first
to build the list of relations to work on.  However the REINDEX logic
has never checked if a relation listed still exists when beginning the
work on it, causing for example sudden cache lookup failures.

This commit adds safeguards against dropped relations for REINDEX,
similarly to VACUUM or CLUSTER where we try to open the relation,
ignoring it if it is missing.  A new option is added to the REINDEX
routines to control if a missed relation is OK to ignore or not.

An isolation test, based on REINDEX SCHEMA, is added for the concurrent
and non-concurrent cases.

Tom Lane a7212be8b9 Set cutoff xmin more aggressively when vacuuming a temporary table.
Since other sessions aren't allowed to look into a temporary table
of our own session, we do not need to worry about the global xmin
horizon when setting the vacuum XID cutoff.  Indeed, if we're not
inside a transaction block, we may set oldestXmin to be the next
XID, because there cannot be any in-doubt tuples in a temp table,
nor any tuples that are dead but still visible to some snapshot of
our transaction.  (VACUUM, of course, is never inside a transaction
block; but we need to test that because CLUSTER shares the same code.)

This approach allows us to always clean out a temp table completely
during VACUUM, independently of concurrent activity.  Aside from
being useful in its own right, that simplifies building reproducible
test cases.

Tom Lane 3d351d916b Redefine pg_class.reltuples to be -1 before the first VACUUM or ANALYZE.
Historically, we've considered the state with relpages and reltuples
both zero as indicating that we do not know the table's tuple density.
This is problematic because it's impossible to distinguish "never yet
vacuumed" from "vacuumed and seen to be empty".  In particular, a user
cannot use VACUUM or ANALYZE to override the planner's normal heuristic
that an empty table should not be believed to be empty because it is
probably about to get populated.  That heuristic is a good safety
measure, so I don't care to abandon it, but there should be a way to
override it if the table is indeed intended to stay empty.

Hence, represent the initial state of ignorance by setting reltuples
to -1 (relpages is still set to zero), and apply the minimum-ten-pages
heuristic only when reltuples is still -1.  If the table is empty,
VACUUM or ANALYZE (but not CREATE INDEX) will override that to
reltuples = relpages = 0, and then we'll plan on that basis.

This requires a bunch of fiddly little changes, but we can get rid of
some ugly kluges that were formerly needed to maintain the old definition.

One notable point is that FDWs' GetForeignRelSize methods will see
baserel->tuples = -1 when no ANALYZE has been done on the foreign table.
That seems like a net improvement, since those methods were formerly
also in the dark about what baserel->tuples = 0 really meant.  Still,
it is an API change.

I bumped catversion because code predating this change would get confused
by seeing reltuples = -1.

Tom Lane 10564ee02c Fix code for re-finding scan position in a multicolumn GIN index.
collectMatchBitmap() needs to re-find the index tuple it was previously
looking at, after transiently dropping lock on the index page it's on.
The tuple should still exist and be at its prior position or somewhere
to the right of that, since ginvacuum never removes tuples but
concurrent insertions could add one.  However, there was a thinko in
that logic, to the effect of expecting any inserted tuples to have the
same index "attnum" as what we'd been scanning.  Since there's no
physical separation of tuples with different attnums, it's not terribly
hard to devise scenarios where this fails, leading to transient "lost
saved point in index" errors.  (While I've duplicated this with manual
testing, it seems impossible to make a reproducible test case with our
available testing technology.)

Fix by just continuing the scan when the attnum doesn't match.

While here, improve the error message used if we do fail, so that it
matches the wording used in btree for a similar case.

collectMatchBitmap()'s posting-tree code path was previously not
exercised at all by our regression tests.  While I can't make
a regression test that exhibits the bug, I can at least improve
the code coverage here, so do that.  The test case I made for this
is an extension of one added by 4b754d6c1, so it only works in
HEAD and v13; didn't seem worth trying hard to back-patch it.

Per bug #16595 from Jesse Kinkead.  This has been broken since
multicolumn capability was added to GIN (commit 27cb66fdf),
so back-patch to all supported branches.

Heikki Linnakangas a28d731a11 Mark commit and abort WAL records with XLR_SPECIAL_REL_UPDATE.
If a commit or abort record includes "dropped relfilenodes", then replaying
the record will remove data files. That is surely a "special rel update",
but the records were not marked as such. Fix that, teach pg_rewind to
expect and ignore them, and add a test case to cover it.

It's always been like this, but no backporting for fear of breaking
existing applications. If an application parsed the WAL but was not
handling commit/abort records, it would stop working. That might be a good
thing if it really needed to handle the dropped rels, but it will be caught
when the application is updated to work with PostgreSQL v14 anyway.

Andres Freund 941697c3c1 snapshot scalability: Introduce dense array of in-progress xids.
The new array contains the xids for all connected backends / in-use
PGPROC entries in a dense manner (in contrast to the PGPROC/PGXACT
arrays which can have unused entries interspersed).

This improves performance because GetSnapshotData() always needs to
scan the xids of all live procarray entries and now there's no need to
go through the procArray->pgprocnos indirection anymore.

As the set of running top-level xids changes rarely, compared to the
number of snapshots taken, this substantially increases the likelihood
of most data required for a snapshot being in l2 cache.  In
read-mostly workloads scanning the xids[] array will sufficient to
build a snapshot, as most backends will not have an xid assigned.

To keep the xid array dense ProcArrayRemove() needs to move entries
behind the to-be-removed proc's one further up in the array. Obviously
moving array entries cannot happen while a backend sets it
xid. I.e. locking needs to prevent that array entries are moved while
a backend modifies its xid.

To avoid locking ProcArrayLock in GetNewTransactionId() - a fairly hot
spot already - ProcArrayAdd() / ProcArrayRemove() now needs to hold
XidGenLock in addition to ProcArrayLock. Adding / Removing a procarray
entry is not a very frequent operation, even taking 2PC into account.

Due to the above, the dense array entries can only be read or modified
while holding ProcArrayLock and/or XidGenLock. This prevents a
concurrent ProcArrayRemove() from shifting the dense array while it is
accessed concurrently.

While the new dense array is very good when needing to look at all
xids it is less suitable when accessing a single backend's xid. In
particular it would be problematic to have to acquire a lock to access
a backend's own xid. Therefore a backend's xid is not just stored in
the dense array, but also in PGPROC. This also allows a backend to
only access the shared xid value when the backend had acquired an
xid.

The infrastructure added in this commit will be used for the remaining
PGXACT fields in subsequent commits. They are kept separate to make
review easier.

Andres Freund 1f51c17c68 snapshot scalability: Move PGXACT->xmin back to PGPROC.
Now that xmin isn't needed for GetSnapshotData() anymore, it leads to
unnecessary cacheline ping-pong to have it in PGXACT, as it is updated
considerably more frequently than the other PGXACT members.

After the changes in dc7420c2c9, this is a very straight-forward change.

For highly concurrent, snapshot acquisition heavy, workloads this change alone
can significantly increase scalability. E.g. plain pgbench on a smaller 2
socket machine gains 1.07x for read-only pgbench, 1.22x for read-only pgbench
when submitting queries in batches of 100, and 2.85x for batches of 100
'SELECT';.  The latter numbers are obviously not to be expected in the
real-world, but micro-benchmark the snapshot computation
scalability (previously spending ~80% of the time in GetSnapshotData()).

Handle new HOT chains in index-build table scans
When a table is scanned by heapam_index_build_range_scan (née
IndexBuildHeapScan) and the table lock being held allows concurrent data
changes, it is possible for new HOT chains to sprout in a page that were
unknown when the scan of a page happened.  This leads to an error such
as
  ERROR:  failed to find parent tuple for heap-only tuple at (X,Y) in table "tbl"
because the root tuple was not present when we first obtained the list
of the page's root tuples.  This can be fixed by re-obtaining the list
of root tuples, if we see that a heap-only tuple appears to point to a
non-existing root.

This was reported by Anastasia as occurring for BRIN summarization
(which exists since 9.5), but I think it could theoretically also happen
with CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY (much older) or REINDEX CONCURRENTLY
(very recent).  It seems a happy coincidence that BRIN forces us to
backpatch this all the way to 9.5.

Andres Freund dc7420c2c9 snapshot scalability: Don't compute global horizons while building snapshots.
To make GetSnapshotData() more scalable, it cannot not look at at each proc's
xmin: While snapshot contents do not need to change whenever a read-only
transaction commits or a snapshot is released, a proc's xmin is modified in
those cases. The frequency of xmin modifications leads to, particularly on
higher core count systems, many cache misses inside GetSnapshotData(), despite
the data underlying a snapshot not changing. That is the most
significant source of GetSnapshotData() scaling poorly on larger systems.

Without accessing xmins, GetSnapshotData() cannot calculate accurate horizons /
thresholds as it has so far. But we don't really have to: The horizons don't
actually change that much between GetSnapshotData() calls. Nor are the horizons
actually used every time a snapshot is built.

The trick this commit introduces is to delay computation of accurate horizons
until there use and using horizon boundaries to determine whether accurate
horizons need to be computed.

The use of RecentGlobal[Data]Xmin to decide whether a row version could be
removed has been replaces with new GlobalVisTest* functions.  These use two
thresholds to determine whether a row can be pruned:
1) definitely_needed, indicating that rows deleted by XIDs >= definitely_needed
   are definitely still visible.
2) maybe_needed, indicating that rows deleted by XIDs < maybe_needed can
   definitely be removed
GetSnapshotData() updates definitely_needed to be the xmin of the computed
snapshot.

When testing whether a row can be removed (with GlobalVisTestIsRemovableXid())
and the tested XID falls in between the two (i.e. XID >= maybe_needed && XID <
definitely_needed) the boundaries can be recomputed to be more accurate. As it
is not cheap to compute accurate boundaries, we limit the number of times that
happens in short succession.  As the boundaries used by
GlobalVisTestIsRemovableXid() are never reset (with maybe_needed updated by
GetSnapshotData()), it is likely that further test can benefit from an earlier
computation of accurate horizons.

To avoid regressing performance when old_snapshot_threshold is set (as that
requires an accurate horizon to be computed), heap_page_prune_opt() doesn't
unconditionally call TransactionIdLimitedForOldSnapshots() anymore. Both the
computation of the limited horizon, and the triggering of errors (with
SetOldSnapshotThresholdTimestamp()) is now only done when necessary to remove
tuples.

This commit just removes the accesses to PGXACT->xmin from
GetSnapshotData(), but other members of PGXACT residing in the same
cache line are accessed. Therefore this in itself does not result in a
significant improvement. Subsequent commits will take advantage of the
fact that GetSnapshotData() now does not need to access xmins anymore.

Note: This contains a workaround in heap_page_prune_opt() to keep the
snapshot_too_old tests working. While that workaround is ugly, the tests
currently are not meaningful, and it seems best to address them separately.

Amit Kapila 7259736a6e Implement streaming mode in ReorderBuffer.
Instead of serializing the transaction to disk after reaching the
logical_decoding_work_mem limit in memory, we consume the changes we have
in memory and invoke stream API methods added by commit 45fdc9738b.
However, sometimes if we have incomplete toast or speculative insert we
spill to the disk because we can't generate the complete tuple and stream.
And, as soon as we get the complete tuple we stream the transaction
including the serialized changes.

We can do this incremental processing thanks to having assignments
(associating subxact with toplevel xacts) in WAL right away, and
thanks to logging the invalidation messages at each command end. These
features are added by commits 0bead9af48 and c55040ccd0 respectively.

Now that we can stream in-progress transactions, the concurrent aborts
may cause failures when the output plugin consults catalogs (both system
and user-defined).

We handle such failures by returning ERRCODE_TRANSACTION_ROLLBACK
sqlerrcode from system table scan APIs to the backend or WALSender
decoding a specific uncommitted transaction. The decoding logic on the
receipt of such a sqlerrcode aborts the decoding of the current
transaction and continue with the decoding of other transactions.

We have ReorderBufferTXN pointer in each ReorderBufferChange by which we
know which xact it belongs to.  The output plugin can use this to decide
which changes to discard in case of stream_abort_cb (e.g. when a subxact
gets discarded).

We also provide a new option via SQL APIs to fetch the changes being
streamed.

Peter Geoghegan 0a7d771f0f Make nbtree split REDO locking match original execution.
Make the nbtree page split REDO routine consistent with original
execution in its approach to acquiring and releasing buffer locks (at
least for pages on the tree level of the page being split).  This brings
btree_xlog_split() in line with btree_xlog_unlink_page(), which was
taught to couple buffer locks by commit 9a9db08a.

Note that the precise order in which we both acquire and release sibling
buffer locks in btree_xlog_split() now matches original execution
exactly (the precise order in which the locks are released probably
doesn't matter much, but we might as well be consistent about it).

The rule for nbtree REDO routines from here on is that same-level locks
should be acquired in an order that's consistent with original
execution.  It's not practical to have a similar rule for cross-level
page locks, since for the most part original execution holds those locks
for a period that spans multiple atomic actions/WAL records.  It's also
not necessary, because clearly the cross-level lock coupling is only
truly needed during original execution because of the presence of
concurrent inserters.

This is not a bug fix (unlike the similar aforementioned commit, commit
9a9db08a).  The immediate reason to tighten things up in this area is to
enable an upcoming enhancement to contrib/amcheck that allows it to
verify that sibling links are in agreement with only an AccessShareLock
(this check produced false positives when run on a replica server on
account of the inconsistency fixed by this commit).  But that's not the
only reason to be stricter here.

It is generally useful to make locking on replicas be as close to what
happens during original execution as practically possible.  It makes it
less likely that hard to catch bugs will slip in in the future.  The
previous state of affairs seems to be a holdover from before the
introduction of Hot Standby, when buffer lock acquisitions during
recovery were totally unnecessary.  See also: commit 3bbf668d, which
tightened things up in this area a few years after the introduction of
Hot Standby.

Peter Geoghegan 9a9db08ae4 Fix replica backward scan race condition.
It was possible for the logic used by backward scans (which must reason
about concurrent page splits/deletions in its own peculiar way) to
become confused when running on a replica.  Concurrent replay of a WAL
record that describes the second phase of page deletion could cause
_bt_walk_left() to get confused.  btree_xlog_unlink_page() simply failed
to adhere to the same locking protocol that we use on the primary, which
is obviously wrong once you consider these two disparate functions
together.  This bug is present in all stable branches.

More concretely, the problem was that nothing stopped _bt_walk_left()
from observing inconsistencies between the deletion's target page and
its original sibling pages when running on a replica.  This is true even
though the second phase of page deletion is supposed to work as a single
atomic action.  Queries running on replicas raised "could not find left
sibling of block %u in index %s" can't-happen errors when they went back
to their scan's "original" page and observed that the page has not been
marked deleted (even though it really was concurrently deleted).

There is no evidence that this actually happened in the real world.  The
issue came to light during unrelated feature development work.  Note
that _bt_walk_left() is the only code that cares about the difference
between a half-dead page and a fully deleted page that isn't also
exclusively used by nbtree VACUUM (unless you include contrib/amcheck
code).  It seems very likely that backward scans are the only thing that
could become confused by the inconsistency.  Even amcheck's complex
bt_right_page_check_scankey() dance was unaffected.

To fix, teach btree_xlog_unlink_page() to lock the left sibling, target,
and right sibling pages in that order before releasing any locks (just
like _bt_unlink_halfdead_page()).  This is the simplest possible
approach.  There doesn't seem to be any opportunity to be more clever
about lock acquisition in the REDO routine, and it hardly seems worth
the trouble in any case.

This fix might enable contrib/amcheck verification of leaf page sibling
links with only an AccessShareLock on the relation.  An amcheck patch
from Andrey Borodin was rejected back in January because it clashed with
btree_xlog_unlink_page()'s lax approach to locking pages.  It now seems
likely that the real problem was with btree_xlog_unlink_page(), not the
patch.

This is a low severity, low likelihood bug, so no backpatch.

We have edge-case bugs when assigning values in the last few dozen pages
before the wrap limit.  We may introduce similar bugs in the future.  At
default BLCKSZ, this makes such bugs unreachable outside of single-user
mode.  Also, when VACUUM began to consume mxacts, multiStopLimit did not
change to compensate.

pg_upgrade may fail on a cluster that was already printing "must be
vacuumed" warnings.  Follow the warning's instructions to clear the
warning, then run pg_upgrade again.  One can still, peacefully consume
98% of XIDs or mxacts, so DBAs need not change routine VACUUM settings.

Tom Lane 9f9682783b Invent "amadjustmembers" AM method for validating opclass members.
This allows AM-specific knowledge to be applied during creation of
pg_amop and pg_amproc entries.  Specifically, the AM knows better than
core code which entries to consider as required or optional.  Giving
the latter entries the appropriate sort of dependency allows them to
be dropped without taking out the whole opclass or opfamily; which
is something we'd like to have to correct obsolescent entries in
extensions.

This callback also opens the door to performing AM-specific validity
checks during opclass creation, rather than hoping than an opclass
developer will remember to test with "amvalidate".  For the most part
I've not actually added any such checks yet; that can happen in a
follow-on patch.  (Note that we shouldn't remove any tests from
"amvalidate", as those are still needed to cross-check manually
constructed entries in the initdb data.  So adding tests to
"amadjustmembers" will be somewhat duplicative, but it seems like
a good idea anyway.)

Patch by me, reviewed by Alexander Korotkov, Hamid Akhtar, and

Michael Paquier e3931d01f3 Use multi-inserts for pg_attribute and pg_shdepend
For pg_attribute, this allows to insert at once a full set of attributes
for a relation (roughly 15% of WAL reduction in extreme cases).  For
pg_shdepend, this reduces the work done when creating new shared
dependencies from a database template.  The number of slots used for the
insertion is capped at 64kB of data inserted for both, depending on the
number of items to insert and the length of the rows involved.

More can be done for other catalogs, like pg_depend.  This part requires
a different approach as the number of slots to use depends also on the
number of entries discarded as pinned dependencies.  This is also
related to the rework or dependency handling for ALTER TABLE and CREATE
TABLE, mainly.

However we decided not to remove non-fast promotion at that moment,

David Rowley 56788d2156 Allocate consecutive blocks during parallel seqscans
Previously we would allocate blocks to parallel workers during a parallel
sequential scan 1 block at a time.  Since other workers were likely to
request a block before a worker returns for another block number to work
on, this could lead to non-sequential I/O patterns in each worker which
could cause the operating system's readahead to perform poorly or not at
all.

Here we change things so that we allocate consecutive "chunks" of blocks
to workers and have them work on those until they're done, at which time
we allocate another chunk for the worker.  The size of these chunks is
based on the size of the relation.

Initial patch here was by Thomas Munro which showed some good improvements
just having a fixed chunk size of 64 blocks with a simple ramp-down near
the end of the scan. The revisions of the patch to make the chunk size
based on the relation size and the adjusted ramp-down in powers of two was
done by me, along with quite extensive benchmarking to determine the
optimal chunk sizes.

For the most part, benchmarks have shown significant performance
improvements for large parallel sequential scans on Linux, FreeBSD and
Windows using SSDs.  It's less clear how this affects the performance of
cloud providers.  Tests done so far are unable to obtain stable enough
performance to provide meaningful benchmark results.  It is possible that
this could cause some performance regressions on more obscure filesystems,
so we may need to later provide users with some ability to get something
closer to the old behavior.  For now, let's leave that until we see that
it's really required.

Amit Kapila c55040ccd0 WAL Log invalidations at command end with wal_level=logical.
When wal_level=logical, write invalidations at command end into WAL so
that decoding can use this information.

This patch is required to allow the streaming of in-progress transactions
in logical decoding.  The actual work to allow streaming will be committed
as a separate patch.

We still add the invalidations to the cache and write them to WAL at
commit time in RecordTransactionCommit(). This uses the existing
XLOG_INVALIDATIONS xlog record type, from the RM_STANDBY_ID resource
manager (see LogStandbyInvalidations for details).

So existing code relying on those invalidations (e.g. redo) does not need
to be changed.

The invalidations written at command end uses a new xlog record type
XLOG_XACT_INVALIDATIONS, from RM_XACT_ID resource manager. See
LogLogicalInvalidations for details.

These new xlog records are ignored by existing redo procedures, which
still rely on the invalidations written to commit records.

The invalidations are decoded and accumulated in top-transaction, and then
executed during replay.  This obviates the need to decode the
invalidations as part of a commit record.

Bump XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC, since this introduces XLOG_XACT_INVALIDATIONS.

Peter Geoghegan 4a70f829d8 Add nbtree Valgrind buffer lock checks.
Holding just a buffer pin (with no buffer lock) on an nbtree buffer/page
provides very weak guarantees, especially compared to heapam, where it's
often safe to read a page while only holding a buffer pin.  This commit
has Valgrind enforce the following rule: it is never okay to access an
nbtree buffer without holding both a pin and a lock on the buffer.

A draft version of this patch detected questionable code that was
cleaned up by commits fa7ff642 and 7154aa16.  The code in question used
to access an nbtree buffer page's special/opaque area with no buffer
lock (only a buffer pin).  This practice (which isn't obviously unsafe)
is hereby formally disallowed in nbtree.  There doesn't seem to be any
reason to allow it, and banning it keeps things simple for Valgrind.

The new checks are implemented by adding custom nbtree client requests
(located in LockBuffer() wrapper functions); these requests are
"superimposed" on top of the generic bufmgr.c Valgrind client requests
added by commit 1e0dfd16.  No custom resource management cleanup code is
needed to undo the effects of marking buffers as non-accessible under
this scheme.

Fujii Masao c3fe108c02 Rename wal_keep_segments to wal_keep_size.
max_slot_wal_keep_size that was added in v13 and wal_keep_segments are
the GUC parameters to specify how much WAL files to retain for
the standby servers. While max_slot_wal_keep_size accepts the number of
bytes of WAL files, wal_keep_segments accepts the number of WAL files.
This difference of setting units between those similar parameters could
be confusing to users.

To alleviate this situation, this commit renames wal_keep_segments to
wal_keep_size, and make users specify the WAL size in it instead of
the number of WAL files.

There was also the idea to rename max_slot_wal_keep_size to
max_slot_wal_keep_segments, in the discussion. But we have been moving
away from measuring in segments, for example, checkpoint_segments was
replaced by max_wal_size. So we concluded to rename wal_keep_segments
to wal_keep_size.

Amit Kapila 0bead9af48 Immediately WAL-log subtransaction and top-level XID association.
The logical decoding infrastructure needs to know which top-level
transaction the subxact belongs to, in order to decode all the
changes. Until now that might be delayed until commit, due to the
caching (GPROC_MAX_CACHED_SUBXIDS), preventing features requiring
incremental decoding.

So we also write the assignment info into WAL immediately, as part
of the next WAL record (to minimize overhead) only when wal_level=logical.
We can not remove the existing XLOG_XACT_ASSIGNMENT WAL as that is
required for avoiding overflow in the hot standby snapshot.

Noah Misch d28ab91e71 Remove dead forceSync parameter of XactLogCommitRecord().
The function has been reading global variable forceSyncCommit, mirroring
the intent of the caller that passed forceSync=forceSyncCommit.  The
other caller, RecordTransactionCommitPrepared(), passed false.  Since
COMMIT PREPARED can't share a transaction with any command, it certainly
doesn't share a transaction with a command that sets forceSyncCommit.

Peter Geoghegan be14f884d5 Fix deduplication "single value" strategy bug.
It was possible for deduplication's single value strategy to mistakenly
believe that a very small duplicate tuple counts as one of the six large
tuples that it aims to leave behind after the page finally splits.  This
could cause slightly suboptimal space utilization with very low
cardinality indexes, though only under fairly narrow conditions.

To fix, be particular about what kind of tuple counts as a
maxpostingsize-capped tuple.  This avoids confusion in the event of a
small tuple that gets "wedged" between two large tuples, where all
tuples on the page are duplicates of the same value.

Robert Haas 1fa092913d Don't export basebackup.c's sendTablespace().
Commit 72d422a522 made xlog.c call
sendTablespace() with the 'sizeonly' argument set to true, which
required basebackup.c to export sendTablespace(). However, that's
kind of ugly, so instead defer the call to sendTablespace() until
basebackup.c regains control. That way, it can still be a static
function.

Patch by me, reviewed by Amit Kapila and Kyotaro Horiguchi.
