Tom Lane 33f13168cc Mark hash_corrupted() as pg_attribute_noreturn.
Coverity started complaining about this after cc5ef90ed.
The code's not really different from before, but might
as well clarify its intent.

Michael Paquier cc5ef90edd Refactor initial hash lookup in dynahash.c
The same pattern is used three times in dynahash.c to retrieve a bucket
number and a hash bucket from a hash value.  This has popped up while
discussing improvements for the type cache, where this piece of
refactoring would become useful.

Note that hash_search_with_hash_value() does not need the bucket number,
just the hash bucket.

Tom Lane 9c911ec065 Make some minor improvements in memory-context infrastructure.
We lack a version of repalloc() that supports MCXT_ALLOC_NO_OOM
semantics, so invent repalloc_extended() with the usual set of
flags.  repalloc_huge() becomes a legacy wrapper for that.

Also, fix dynahash.c so that it can support HASH_ENTER_NULL
requests when using the default palloc-based allocator.
The only reason it didn't do that already was the lack of the
MCXT_ALLOC_NO_OOM option when that code was written, ages ago.

While here, simplify a few overcomplicated tests in mcxt.c.

Andres Freund e6927270cd meson: Add initial version of meson based build system
Autoconf is showing its age, fewer and fewer contributors know how to wrangle
it. Recursive make has a lot of hard to resolve dependency issues and slow
incremental rebuilds. Our home-grown MSVC build system is hard to maintain for
developers not using Windows and runs tests serially. While these and other
issues could individually be addressed with incremental improvements, together
they seem best addressed by moving to a more modern build system.

After evaluating different build system choices, we chose to use meson, to a
good degree based on the adoption by other open source projects.

We decided that it's more realistic to commit a relatively early version of
the new build system and mature it in tree.

This commit adds an initial version of a meson based build system. It supports
building postgres on at least AIX, FreeBSD, Linux, macOS, NetBSD, OpenBSD,
Solaris and Windows (however only gcc is supported on aix, solaris). For
Windows/MSVC postgres can now be built with ninja (faster, particularly for
incremental builds) and msbuild (supporting the visual studio GUI, but
building slower).

Several aspects (e.g. Windows rc file generation, PGXS compatibility, LLVM
bitcode generation, documentation adjustments) are done in subsequent commits
requiring further review. Other aspects (e.g. not installing test-only
extensions) are not yet addressed.

When building on Windows with msbuild, builds are slower when using a visual
studio version older than 2019, because those versions do not support
MultiToolTask, required by meson for intra-target parallelism.

The plan is to remove the MSVC specific build system in src/tools/msvc soon
after reaching feature parity. However, we're not planning to remove the
autoconf/make build system in the near future. Likely we're going to keep at
least the parts required for PGXS to keep working around until all supported
versions build with meson.

Some initial help for postgres developers is at

Tom Lane b3817f5f77 Improve hash_create()'s API for some added robustness.
Invent a new flag bit HASH_STRINGS to specify C-string hashing, which
was formerly the default; and add assertions insisting that exactly
one of the bits HASH_STRINGS, HASH_BLOBS, and HASH_FUNCTION be set.
This is in hopes of preventing recurrences of the type of oversight
fixed in commit a1b8aa1e4 (i.e., mistakenly omitting HASH_BLOBS).

Also, when HASH_STRINGS is specified, insist that the keysize be
more than 8 bytes.  This is a heuristic, but it should catch
accidental use of HASH_STRINGS for integer or pointer keys.
(Nearly all existing use-cases set the keysize to NAMEDATALEN or
more, so there's little reason to think this restriction should
be problematic.)

Tweak hash_create() to insist that the HASH_ELEM flag be set, and
remove the defaults it had for keysize and entrysize.  Since those
defaults were undocumented and basically useless, no callers
omitted HASH_ELEM anyway.

Also, remove memset's zeroing the HASHCTL parameter struct from
those callers that had one.  This has never been really necessary,
and while it wasn't a bad coding convention it was confusing that
some callers did it and some did not.  We might as well save a few
cycles by standardizing on "not".

Also improve the documentation for hash_create().

In passing, improve reinit.c's usage of a hash table by storing
the key as a binary Oid rather than a string; and, since that's
a temporary hash table, allocate it in CurrentMemoryContext for
neatness.

Thomas Munro be0a666665 Remove large fill factor support from dynahash.c.
Since ancient times we have had support for a fill factor (maximum load
factor) to be set for a dynahash hash table, but:

1.  It was an integer, whereas for in-memory hash tables interesting
load factor targets are probably somewhere near the 0.75-1.0 range.

2.  It was implemented in a way that performed an expensive division
operation that regularly showed up in profiles.

3.  We are not aware of anyone ever having used a non-default value.

Therefore, remove support, effectively fixing it at 1.

Peter Eisentraut de8feb1f3a Fix -Wcast-function-type warnings
Three groups of issues needed to be addressed:

load_external_function() and related functions returned PGFunction,
even though not necessarily all callers are looking for a function of
type PGFunction.  Since these functions are really just wrappers
around dlsym(), change to return void * just like dlsym().

In dynahash.c, we are using strlcpy() where a function with a
signature like memcpy() is expected.  This should be safe, as the new
comment there explains, but the cast needs to be augmented to avoid
the warning.

In PL/Python, methods all need to be cast to PyCFunction, per Python
API, but this now runs afoul of these warnings.  (This issue also
exists in core CPython.)

To fix the second and third case, we add a new type pg_funcptr_t that
is defined specifically so that gcc accepts it as a special function
pointer that can be cast to any other function pointer without the
warning.

Also add -Wcast-function-type to the standard warning flags, subject
to configure check.

Robert Haas a91e2fa941 Adapt hashfn.c and hashutils.h for frontend use.
hash_any() and its various variants are defined to return Datum,
which is a backend-only concept, but the underlying functions
actually want to return uint32 and uint64, and only return Datum
because it's convenient for callers who are using them to
implement a hash function for some SQL datatype.

However, changing these functions to return uint32 and uint64
seems like it might lead to programming errors or back-patching
difficulties, both because they are widely used and because
failure to use UInt{32,64}GetDatum() might not provoke a
compilation error. Instead, rename the existing functions as
well as changing the return type, and add static inline wrappers
for those callers that need the previous behavior.

Although this commit adapts hashutils.h and hashfn.c so that they
can be compiled as frontend code, it does not actually do
anything that would cause them to be so compiled. That is left
for another commit.

Andres Freund 01368e5d9d Split all OBJS style lines in makefiles into one-line-per-entry style.
When maintaining or merging patches, one of the most common sources
for conflicts are the list of objects in makefiles. Especially when
the split across lines has been changed on both sides, which is
somewhat common due to attempting to stay below 80 columns, those
conflicts are unnecessarily laborious to resolve.

By splitting, and alphabetically sorting, OBJS style lines into one

Tom Lane 442accc3fe Allow memory contexts to have both fixed and variable ident strings.
Originally, we treated memory context names as potentially variable in
all cases, and therefore always copied them into the context header.
Commit 9fa6f00b1 rethought this a little bit and invented a distinction
between fixed and variable names, skipping the copy step for the former.
But we can make things both simpler and more useful by instead allowing
there to be two parts to a context's identification, a fixed "name" and
an optional, variable "ident".  The name supplied in the context create
call is now required to be a compile-time-constant string in all cases,
as it is never copied but just pointed to.  The "ident" string, if
wanted, is supplied later.  This is needed because typically we want
the ident to be stored inside the context so that it's cleaned up
automatically on context deletion; that means it has to be copied into
the context before we can set the pointer.

The cost of this approach is basically just an additional pointer field
in struct MemoryContextData, which isn't much overhead, and is bought
back entirely in the AllocSet case by not needing a headerSize field
anymore, since we no longer have to cope with variable header length.
In addition, we can simplify the internal interfaces for memory context
creation still further, saving a few cycles there.  And it's no longer
true that a custom identifier disqualifies a context from participating
in aset.c's freelist scheme, so possibly there's some win on that end.

All the places that were using non-compile-time-constant context names
are adjusted to put the variable info into the "ident" instead.  This
allows more effective identification of those contexts in many cases;
for example, subsidary contexts of relcache entries are now identified
by both type (e.g. "index info") and relname, where before you got only
one or the other.  Contexts associated with PL function cache entries
are now identified more fully and uniformly, too.

I also arranged for plancache contexts to use the query source string
as their identifier.  This is basically free for CachedPlanSources, as
they contained a copy of that string already.  We pay an extra pstrdup
to do it for CachedPlans.  That could perhaps be avoided, but it would
make things more fragile (since the CachedPlanSource is sometimes
destroyed first).  I suspect future improvements in error reporting will
require CachedPlans to have a copy of that string anyway, so it's not
clear that it's worth moving mountains to avoid it now.

This also changes the APIs for context statistics routines so that the
context-specific routines no longer assume that output goes straight
to stderr, nor do they know all details of the output format.  This
is useful immediately to reduce code duplication, and it also allows
for external code to do something with stats output that's different
from printing to stderr.

The reason for pushing this now rather than waiting for v12 is that
it rethinks some of the API changes made by commit 9fa6f00b1.  Seems
better for extension authors to endure just one round of API changes
not two.

Tom Lane 9fa6f00b13 Rethink MemoryContext creation to improve performance.
This patch makes a number of interrelated changes to reduce the overhead
involved in creating/deleting memory contexts.  The key ideas are:

* Include the AllocSetContext header of an aset.c context in its first
malloc request, rather than allocating it separately in TopMemoryContext.
This means that we now always create an initial or "keeper" block in an
aset, even if it never receives any allocation requests.

* Create freelists in which we can save and recycle recently-destroyed
asets (this idea is due to Robert Haas).

* In the common case where the name of a context is a constant string,
just store a pointer to it in the context header, rather than copying
the string.

The first change eliminates a palloc/pfree cycle per context, and
also avoids bloat in TopMemoryContext, at the price that creating
a context now involves a malloc/free cycle even if the context never
receives any allocations.  That would be a loser for some common
usage patterns, but recycling short-lived contexts via the freelist
eliminates that pain.

Avoiding copying constant strings not only saves strlen() and strcpy()
overhead, but is an essential part of the freelist optimization because
it makes the context header size constant.  Currently we make no
attempt to use the freelist for contexts with non-constant names.
(Perhaps someday we'll need to think harder about that, but in current
usage, most contexts with custom names are long-lived anyway.)

The freelist management in this initial commit is pretty simplistic,
and we might want to refine it later --- but in common workloads that
will never matter because the freelists will never get full anyway.

To create a context with a non-constant name, one is now required to
call AllocSetContextCreateExtended and specify the MEMCONTEXT_COPY_NAME
option.  AllocSetContextCreate becomes a wrapper macro, and it includes
a test that will complain about non-string-literal context name
parameters on gcc and similar compilers.

An unfortunate side effect of making AllocSetContextCreate a macro is
that one is now *required* to use the size parameter abstraction macros
(ALLOCSET_DEFAULT_SIZES and friends) with it; the pre-9.6 habit of
writing out individual size parameters no longer works unless you
switch to AllocSetContextCreateExtended.

Internally to the memory-context-related modules, the context creation
APIs are simplified, removing the rather baroque original design whereby
a context-type module called mcxt.c which then called back into the
context-type module.  That saved a bit of code duplication, but not much,
and it prevented context-type modules from exercising control over the
allocation of context headers.

In passing, I converted the test-and-elog validation of aset size
parameters into Asserts to save a few more cycles.  The original thought
was that callers might compute size parameters on the fly, but in practice
nobody does that, so it's useless to expend cycles on checking those
numbers in production builds.

Also, mark the memory context method-pointer structs "const",
just for cleanliness.

Tom Lane 9d4e566999 Remove broken and useless entry-count printing in HASH_DEBUG code.
init_htab(), with #define HASH_DEBUG, prints a bunch of hashtable
parameters.  It used to also print nentries, but commit 44ca4022f changed
that to "hash_get_num_entries(hctl)", which is wrong (the parameter should
be "hashp").

Rather than correct the coding, though, let's just remove that field from
the printout.  The table must be empty, since we just finished building
it, so expensively calculating the number of entries is rather pointless.
Moreover hash_get_num_entries makes assumptions (about not needing locks)
which we could do without in debugging code.

Noted by Choi Doo-Won in bug #14764.  Back-patch to 9.6 where the
faulty code was introduced.

Tom Lane ab2324fd46 Improve comments about partitioned hash table freelists.
While I couldn't find any live bugs in commit 44ca4022f, the comments
seemed pretty far from adequate; in particular it was not made plain that
"borrowing" entries from other freelists is critical for correctness.
Try to improve the commentary.  A couple of very minor code style
tweaks, as well.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

existing caller of hash_freeze, but left behind a comment indicating
that hash_freeze was still used.  Adjust.

Tom Lane ea268cdc9a Add macros to make AllocSetContextCreate() calls simpler and safer.
I found that half a dozen (nearly 5%) of our AllocSetContextCreate calls
had typos in the context-sizing parameters.  While none of these led to
especially significant problems, they did create minor inefficiencies,
and it's now clear that expecting people to copy-and-paste those calls
accurately is not a great idea.  Let's reduce the risk of future errors
by introducing single macros that encapsulate the common use-cases.
Three such macros are enough to cover all but two special-purpose contexts;
those two calls can be left as-is, I think.

While this patch doesn't in itself improve matters for third-party
extensions, it doesn't break anything for them either, and they can
gradually adopt the simplified notation over time.

In passing, change TopMemoryContext to use the default allocation
parameters.  Formerly it could only be extended 8K at a time.  That was
probably reasonable when this code was written; but nowadays we create
many more contexts than we did then, so that it's not unusual to have a
couple hundred K in TopMemoryContext, even without considering various
dubious code that sticks other things there.  There seems no good reason
not to let it use growing blocks like most other contexts.

Back-patch to 9.6, mostly because that's still close enough to HEAD that
it's easy to do so, and keeping the branches in sync can be expected to
avoid some future back-patching pain.  The bugs fixed by these changes
don't seem to be significant enough to justify fixing them further back.

Prior to commit 0709b7ee72, access to

through a volatile pointer, but that should no longer be necessary.

Andres Freund 4eda0a6470 Don't include low level locking code from frontend code.
Some frontend code like e.g. pg_xlogdump or pg_resetxlog, has to use
backend headers. Unfortunately until now that code includes most of the
locking code. It's generally not nice to expose such low level details,
but de6fd1c898 made that a hard problem. We fall back to defining
'inline' away if the compiler doesn't support it - that can cause linker
errors like on buildfarm animal pademelon if a inline function
references backend only code.

To fix that problem separate definitions from lock.h that are required
from frontend code into lockdefs.h and use it in the relevant
places. I've only removed the minimal amount of necessary definitions
for now - it might turn out that we want more for other reasons.

To avoid such details being exposed again put some checks against being
included from frontend code into atomics.h, lock.h, lwlock.h and
s_lock.h. It's otherwise fairly easy to indirectly include these
headers.
