Robert Haas 5262f7a4fc Add optimizer and executor support for parallel index scans.
In combination with 569174f1be, which
taught the btree AM how to perform parallel index scans, this allows
parallel index scan plans on btree indexes.  This infrastructure
should be general enough to support parallel index scans for other
index AMs as well, if someone updates them to support parallel
scans.

Robert Haas 7ada2d31f4 Remove contrib/tsearch2.
This module was intended to ease migrations of applications that used
the pre-8.3 version of text search to the in-core version introduced
in that release.  However, since all pre-8.3 releases of the database
have been out of support for more than 5 years at this point, we
expect that few people are depending on it at this point.  If some
people still need it, nothing prevents it from being maintained as a
separate extension, outside of core.

Robert Haas 806091c96f Remove all references to "xlog" from SQL-callable functions in pg_proc.
Commit f82ec32ac3 renamed the pg_xlog
directory to pg_wal.  To make things consistent, and because "xlog" is
terrible terminology for either "transaction log" or "write-ahead log"
rename all SQL-callable functions that contain "xlog" in the name to
instead contain "wal".  (Note that this may pose an upgrade hazard for
some users.)

Similarly, rename the xlog_position argument of the functions that
create slots to be called wal_position.

Robert Haas fc8219dc54 pageinspect: Fix hash_bitmap_info not to read the underlying page.
It did that to verify that the page was an overflow page rather than
anything else, but that means that checking the status of all the
overflow bits requires reading the entire index.  So don't do that.
The new code validates that the page is not a primary bucket page
or bitmap page by looking at the metapage, so that using this on
large numbers of pages can be reasonably efficient.

Tom Lane 86d911ec0f Allow index AMs to cache data across aminsert calls within a SQL command.
It's always been possible for index AMs to cache data across successive
amgettuple calls within a single SQL command: the IndexScanDesc.opaque
field is meant for precisely that.  However, no comparable facility
exists for amortizing setup work across successive aminsert calls.
This patch adds such a feature and teaches GIN, GIST, and BRIN to use it
to amortize catalog lookups they'd previously been doing on every call.
(The other standard index AMs keep everything they need in the relcache,
so there's little to improve there.)

For GIN, the overall improvement in a statement that inserts many rows
can be as much as 10%, though it seems a bit less for the other two.
In addition, this makes a really significant difference in runtime
for CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS tests, since in those builds the repeated
catalog lookups are vastly more expensive.

The reason this has been hard up to now is that the aminsert function is
not passed any useful place to cache per-statement data.  What I chose to
do is to add suitable fields to struct IndexInfo and pass that to aminsert.
That's not widening the index AM API very much because IndexInfo is already
within the ken of ambuild; in fact, by passing the same info to aminsert
as to ambuild, this is really removing an inconsistency in the AM API.

Robert Haas 293e24e507 Cache hash index's metapage in rel->rd_amcache.
This avoids a very significant amount of buffer manager traffic and
contention when scanning hash indexes, because it's no longer
necessary to lock and pin the metapage for every scan.  We do need
some way of figuring out when the cache is too stale to use any more,
so that when we lock the primary bucket page to which the cached
metapage points us, we can tell whether a split has occurred since we
cached the metapage data.  To do that, we use the hash_prevblkno field
in the primary bucket page, which would otherwise always be set to
InvalidBuffer.

This patch contains code so that it will continue working (although
less efficiently) with hash indexes built before this change, but
perhaps we should consider bumping the hash version and ripping out
the compatibility code.  That decision can be made later, though.

Before committing, I made a number of cosmetic changes to the last

Uniformly expose unsigned quantities using the next-wider signed
integer type (since we have no unsigned types at the SQL level).
At the SQL level, this results a change to report itemoffset as

that match the SQL output type as to both width and signedness.

Tom Lane 14e9b18fed In pageinspect/hashfuncs.c, avoid crashes on alignment-picky machines.
On machines with MAXALIGN = 8, the payload of a bytea is not maxaligned,
since it will start 4 bytes into a palloc'd value.  On alignment-picky
hardware, this will cause failures in accesses to 8-byte-wide values
within the page.  We already encountered this problem when we introduced
GIN index inspection functions, and fixed it in commit 84ad68d64.  Make
use of the same function for hash indexes.

A small difficulty is that up to now contrib/pageinspect has not shared
any functions at all across files.  To support that, introduce a common
header file "pageinspect.h" for the module.

Also, move get_page_from_raw() out of ginfuncs.c, where it didn't
especially belong, and put it in rawpage.c which seems a more natural home.

Tom Lane c6eeb67dcc Fix a bunch more portability bugs in commit 08bf6e529.
It seems like somebody used a dartboard while choosing integer widths
for the various values taken and returned by these functions ... and
then threw a fresh set of darts while writing the SQL declarations.

This patch brings the C code into line with what the SQL declarations
say, which is enough to make it not dump core on the particular 32-bit
machine I'm testing on.  But I think we could do with another round
of looking at what the datum widths *should* be.  For instance, it's
not all that sensible that hash_bitmap_info decided to use int64 to
represent a BlockNumber input when get_raw_page doesn't do it that way.

There's also a remaining problem that the expected outputs from the
test script are platform-dependent, but I'll leave that issue for
somebody else.

Heikki Linnakangas dbd69118c0 Replace isMD5() with a more future-proof way to check if pw is encrypted.
The rule is that if pg_authid.rolpassword begins with "md5" and has the
right length, it's an MD5 hash, otherwise it's a plaintext password. The
idiom has been to use isMD5() to check for that, but that gets awkward,
when we add new kinds of verifiers, like the verifiers for SCRAM
authentication in the pending SCRAM patch set. Replace isMD5() with a new
get_password_type() function, so that when new verifier types are added, we
don't need to remember to modify every place that currently calls isMD5(),
to also recognize the new kinds of verifiers.

Also, use the new plain_crypt_verify function in passwordcheck, so that it
doesn't need to know about MD5, or in the future, about other kinds of
hashes or password verifiers.

Tom Lane ab1f0c8225 Change representation of statement lists, and add statement location info.
This patch makes several changes that improve the consistency of
representation of lists of statements.  It's always been the case
that the output of parse analysis is a list of Query nodes, whatever
the types of the individual statements in the list.  This patch brings
similar consistency to the outputs of raw parsing and planning steps:

* The output of raw parsing is now always a list of RawStmt nodes;
the statement-type-dependent nodes are one level down from that.

* The output of pg_plan_queries() is now always a list of PlannedStmt
nodes, even for utility statements.  In the case of a utility statement,
"planning" just consists of wrapping a CMD_UTILITY PlannedStmt around
the utility node.  This list representation is now used in Portal and
CachedPlan plan lists, replacing the former convention of intermixing
PlannedStmts with bare utility-statement nodes.

Now, every list of statements has a consistent head-node type depending
on how far along it is in processing.  This allows changing many places
that formerly used generic "Node *" pointers to use a more specific
pointer type, thus reducing the number of IsA() tests and casts needed,
as well as improving code clarity.

Also, the post-parse-analysis representation of DECLARE CURSOR is changed
so that it looks more like EXPLAIN, PREPARE, etc.  That is, the contained
SELECT remains a child of the DeclareCursorStmt rather than getting flipped
around to be the other way.  It's now true for both Query and PlannedStmt
that utilityStmt is non-null if and only if commandType is CMD_UTILITY.
That allows simplifying a lot of places that were testing both fields.
(I think some of those were just defensive programming, but in many places,
it was actually necessary to avoid confusing DECLARE CURSOR with SELECT.)

Because PlannedStmt carries a canSetTag field, we're also able to get rid
of some ad-hoc rules about how to reconstruct canSetTag for a bare utility
statement; specifically, the assumption that a utility is canSetTag if and
only if it's the only one in its list.  While I see no near-term need for
relaxing that restriction, it's nice to get rid of the ad-hocery.

The API of ProcessUtility() is changed so that what it's passed is the
wrapper PlannedStmt not just the bare utility statement.  This will affect
all users of ProcessUtility_hook, but the changes are pretty trivial; see
the affected contrib modules for examples of the minimum change needed.
(Most compilers should give pointer-type-mismatch warnings for uncorrected
code.)

There's also a change in the API of ExplainOneQuery_hook, to pass through
cursorOptions instead of expecting hook functions to know what to pick.
This is needed because of the DECLARE CURSOR changes, but really should
have been done in 9.6; it's unlikely that any extant hook functions
know about using CURSOR_OPT_PARALLEL_OK.

Finally, teach gram.y to save statement boundary locations in RawStmt
nodes, and pass those through to Query and PlannedStmt nodes.  This allows
more intelligent handling of cases where a source query string contains
multiple statements.  This patch doesn't actually do anything with the
information, but a follow-on patch will.  (Passing this information through
cleanly is the true motivation for these changes; while I think this is all
good cleanup, it's unlikely we'd have bothered without this end goal.)

catversion bump because addition of location fields to struct Query
affects stored rules.

This patch is by me, but it owes a good deal to Fabien Coelho who did
a lot of preliminary work on the problem, and also reviewed the patch.

Tom Lane c52d37c8b3 Invalidate cached plans on FDW option changes.
This fixes problems where a plan must change but fails to do so,
as seen in a bug report from Rajkumar Raghuwanshi.

For ALTER FOREIGN TABLE OPTIONS, do this through the standard method of
forcing a relcache flush on the table.  For ALTER FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER
and ALTER SERVER, just flush the whole plan cache on any change in
pg_foreign_data_wrapper or pg_foreign_server.  That matches the way
we handle some other low-probability cases such as opclass changes, and
it's unclear that the case arises often enough to be worth working harder.
Besides, that gives a patch that is simple enough to back-patch with
confidence.

Back-patch to 9.3.  In principle we could apply the code change to 9.2 as
well, but (a) we lack postgres_fdw to test it with, (b) it's doubtful that
anyone is doing anything exciting enough with FDWs that far back to need
this desperately, and (c) the patch doesn't apply cleanly.

When dblink uses a postgres_fdw server name for its connection, it

cases for using postgres_fdw, and possibly other FDWs, for dblink
connection options, therefore protect against trying to use any
options that do not apply by using is_valid_dblink_option() when
building the connection string from the options.

to the references I consulted.

Peter Eisentraut fdf71389dd Various temporary slots test improvements
Fix the tests on slow machines (per buildfarm).

Add test for dropping on error.  And also try to consume real changes
from temporary slots.

Tom Lane 23f722ba8e Fix race condition in test_decoding "slot" test.
This test, just added in commit a924c327e, sometimes fails because
the old backend hasn't finished dropping the temporary replication slot
when the new backend looks.  Borrow the previously-invented methodology
for waiting for the old process to disappear from pg_stat_activity.

Heikki Linnakangas 58445c5c8d Further cleanup from the strong-random patch.
Also use the new facility for generating RADIUS authenticator requests,
and salt in chkpass extension.

Reword the error messages to be nicer. Fix bogus error code used in the
message in BackendStartup.

Heikki Linnakangas 9bbbf029dd Fix pgcrypto compilation with OpenSSL 1.1.0.
Was broken by the switch to using OpenSSL's EVP interface for ciphers, in
commit 5ff4a67f.

Reported by Andres Freund. Fix by Michael Paquier with some kibitzing by me.

Robert Haas fa0f466d53 Log the creation of an init fork unconditionally.
Previously, it was thought that this only needed to be done for the
benefit of possible standbys, so wal_level = minimal skipped it.
But that's not safe, because during crash recovery we might replay
XLOG_DBASE_CREATE or XLOG_TBLSPC_CREATE record which recursively
removes the directory that contains the new init fork.  So log it
always.

The user-visible effect of this bug is that if you create a database
or tablespace, then create an unlogged table, then crash without
checkpointing, then restart, accessing the table will fail, because
the it won't have been properly reset.  This commit fixes that.

Michael Paquier, per a report from Konstantin Knizhnik.  Wording of
the comments per a suggestion from me.

Heikki Linnakangas fe0a0b5993 Replace PostmasterRandom() with a stronger source, second attempt.
This adds a new routine, pg_strong_random() for generating random bytes,
for use in both frontend and backend. At the moment, it's only used in
the backend, but the upcoming SCRAM authentication patches need strong
random numbers in libpq as well.

pg_strong_random() is based on, and replaces, the existing implementation
in pgcrypto. It can acquire strong random numbers from a number of sources,
depending on what's available:

- OpenSSL RAND_bytes(), if built with OpenSSL
- On Windows, the native cryptographic functions are used
- /dev/urandom

Unlike the current pgcrypto function, the source is chosen by configure.
That makes it easier to test different implementations, and ensures that
we don't accidentally fall back to a less secure implementation, if the
primary source fails. All of those methods are quite reliable, it would be
pretty surprising for them to fail, so we'd rather find out by failing
hard.

If no strong random source is available, we fall back to using erand48(),
seeded from current timestamp, like PostmasterRandom() was. That isn't
cryptographically secure, but allows us to still work on platforms that
don't have any of the above stronger sources. Because it's not very secure,
the built-in implementation is only used if explicitly requested with
--disable-strong-random.

This replaces the more complicated Fortuna algorithm we used to have in
pgcrypto, which is unfortunate, but all modern platforms have /dev/urandom,
so it doesn't seem worth the maintenance effort to keep that. pgcrypto
functions that require strong random numbers will be disabled with
--disable-strong-random.

Original patch by Magnus Hagander, tons of further work by Michael Paquier
and me.

Heikki Linnakangas b2cc748b09 Remove dead stuff from pgcrypto.
pgp-pubkey-DISABLED test has been unused since 2006, when support for
built-in bignum math was added (commit 1abf76e8). pgp-encrypt-DISABLED has
been unused forever, AFAICS.

Also remove a couple of unused error codes.

Tom Lane ade49c605f Test all contrib-created operator classes with amvalidate.
I'd supposed that people would do this manually when creating new operator
classes, but the folly of that was exposed today.  The tests seem fast
enough that we can just apply them during the normal regression tests.

contrib/isn fails the checks for lack of complete sets of cross-type
operators.  That's a nice-to-have policy rather than a functional
requirement, so leave it as-is, but insert ORDER BY in the query to
ensure consistent cross-platform output.
