Tom Lane 713a431c78 Doc: move some catalogs.sgml entries to the right place.
pg_statistic_ext_data.stxdexpr was listed under the wrong catalog,
as was pg_stats_ext.exprs.  Also there was a bogus entry for
pg_statistic_ext_data.stxexprs.  Apparently a merge failure in
commit a4d75c86b.

David Rowley 99c5852e20 Add missing NULL check when building Result Cache paths
Code added in 9e215378d to disable building of Result Cache paths when
not all join conditions are part of the parameterization of a unique
join failed to first check if the inner path's param_info was set before
checking the param_info's ppi_clauses.

Add a check for NULL values here and just bail on trying to build the
path if param_info is NULL. lateral_vars are not considered when
deciding if the join is unique, so we're not missing out on doing the
optimization when there are lateral_vars and no param_info.

Tom Lane f5024d8d7b Re-order pg_attribute columns to eliminate some padding space.
Now that attcompression is just a char, there's a lot of wasted
padding space after it.  Move it into the group of char-wide
columns to save a net of 4 bytes per pg_attribute entry.  While
we're at it, swap the order of attstorage and attalign to make for
a more logical grouping of these columns.

Also re-order actions in related code to match the new field ordering.

This patch also fixes one outright bug: equalTupleDescs() failed to
compare attcompression.  That could, for example, cause relcache
reload to fail to adopt a new value following a change.

Tom Lane bc2a389efb Be more verbose when the postmaster unexpectedly quits.
Emit a LOG message when the postmaster stops because of a failure in
the startup process.  There already is a similar message if we exit
for that reason during PM_STARTUP phase, so it seems inconsistent
that there was none if the startup process fails later on.

Also emit a LOG message when the postmaster stops after a crash
because restart_after_crash is disabled.  This seems potentially
helpful in case DBAs (or developers) forget that that's set.
Also, it was the only remaining place where the postmaster would
do an abnormal exit without any comment as to why.

In passing, remove an unreachable call of ExitPostmaster(0).

Tom Lane b39630fd41 Fix access to no-longer-open relcache entry in logical-rep worker.
If we redirected a replicated tuple operation into a partition child
table, and then tried to fire AFTER triggers for that event, the
relation cache entry for the child table was already closed.  This has
no visible ill effects as long as the entry is still there and still
valid, but an unluckily-timed cache flush could result in a crash or
other misbehavior.

To fix, postpone the ExecCleanupTupleRouting call (which is what
closes the child table) until after we've fired triggers.  This
requires a bit of refactoring so that the cleanup function can
have access to the necessary state.

In HEAD, I took the opportunity to simplify some of worker.c's
function APIs based on use of the new ApplyExecutionData struct.
However, it doesn't seem safe/practical to back-patch that aspect,
at least not without a lot of analysis of possible interactions
with a04daa97a.

In passing, add an Assert to afterTriggerInvokeEvents to catch
such cases.  This seems worthwhile because we've grown a number
of fairly unstructured ways of calling AfterTriggerEndQuery.

Back-patch to v13, where worker.c grew the ability to deal with
partitioned target tables.

Tom Lane 30168be8f7 Remove plpgsql's special-case code paths for SET/RESET.
In the wake of 84f5c2908, it's no longer necessary for plpgsql to
handle SET/RESET specially.  The point of that was just to avoid
taking a new transaction snapshot prematurely, which the regular code
path through _SPI_execute_plan() now does just fine (in fact better,
since it now does the right thing for LOCK too).  Hence, rip out a
few lines of code, going back to the old way of treating SET/RESET
as a generic SQL command.  This essentially reverts all but the
test cases from b981275b6.

David Rowley 9e215378d7 Fix planner's use of Result Cache with unique joins
When the planner considered using a Result Cache node to cache results
from the inner side of a Nested Loop Join, it failed to consider that the
inner path's parameterization may not be the entire join condition.  If
the join was marked as inner_unique then we may accidentally put the cache
in singlerow mode.  This meant that entries would be marked as complete
after caching the first row.  That was wrong as if only part of the join
condition was parameterized then the uniqueness of the unique join was not
guaranteed at the Result Cache's level.  The uniqueness is only guaranteed
after Nested Loop applies the join filter.  If subsequent rows were found,
this would lead to:

ERROR: cache entry already complete

This could have been fixed by only putting the cache in singlerow mode if
the entire join condition was parameterized.  However, Nested Loop will
only read its inner side so far as the first matching row when the join is
unique, so that might mean we never get an opportunity to mark cache
entries as complete.  Since non-complete cache entries are useless for
subsequent lookups, we just don't bother considering a Result Cache path
in this case.

In passing, remove the XXX comment that claimed the above ERROR might be
better suited to be an Assert.  After there being an actual case which
triggered it, it seems better to keep it an ERROR.

Tom Lane 4b10074453 Disallow whole-row variables in GENERATED expressions.
This was previously allowed, but I think that was just an oversight.
It's a clear violation of the rule that a generated column cannot
depend on itself or other generated columns.  Moreover, because the
code was relying on the assumption that no such cross-references
exist, it was pretty easy to crash ALTER TABLE and perhaps other
places.  Even if you managed not to crash, you got quite unstable,
implementation-dependent results.

Per report from Vitaly Ustinov.
Back-patch to v12 where GENERATED came in.

Tom Lane 2b0ee126bb Fix usage of "tableoid" in GENERATED expressions.
We consider this supported (though I've got my doubts that it's a
good idea, because tableoid is not immutable).  However, several
code paths failed to fill the field in soon enough, causing such
a GENERATED expression to see zero or the wrong value.  This
occurred when ALTER TABLE adds a new GENERATED column to a table
with existing rows, and during regular INSERT or UPDATE on a
foreign table with GENERATED columns.

Noted during investigation of a report from Vitaly Ustinov.

Tom Lane 84f5c2908d Restore the portal-level snapshot after procedure COMMIT/ROLLBACK.
COMMIT/ROLLBACK necessarily destroys all snapshots within the session.
The original implementation of intra-procedure transactions just
cavalierly did that, ignoring the fact that this left us executing in
a rather different environment than normal.  In particular, it turns
out that handling of toasted datums depends rather critically on there
being an outer ActiveSnapshot: otherwise, when SPI or the core
executor pop whatever snapshot they used and return, it's unsafe to
dereference any toasted datums that may appear in the query result.
It's possible to demonstrate "no known snapshots" and "missing chunk
number N for toast value" errors as a result of this oversight.

Historically this outer snapshot has been held by the Portal code,
and that seems like a good plan to preserve.  So add infrastructure
to pquery.c to allow re-establishing the Portal-owned snapshot if it's
not there anymore, and add enough bookkeeping support that we can tell
whether it is or not.

We can't, however, just re-establish the Portal snapshot as part of
COMMIT/ROLLBACK.  As in normal transaction start, acquiring the first
snapshot should wait until after SET and LOCK commands.  Hence, teach
spi.c about doing this at the right time.  (Note that this patch
doesn't fix the problem for any PLs that try to run intra-procedure
transactions without using SPI to execute SQL commands.)

This makes SPI's no_snapshots parameter rather a misnomer, so in HEAD,
rename that to allow_nonatomic.

replication/logical/worker.c also needs some fixes, because it wasn't
careful to hold a snapshot open around AFTER trigger execution.
That code doesn't use a Portal, which I suspect someday we're gonna
have to fix.  But for now, just rearrange the order of operations.
This includes back-patching the recent addition of finish_estate()
to centralize the cleanup logic there.

This also back-patches commit 2ecfeda3e into v13, to improve the
test coverage for worker.c (it was that test that exposed that
worker.c's snapshot management is wrong).

Per bug #15990 from Andreas Wicht.  Back-patch to v11 where
intra-procedure COMMIT was added.

Amit Kapila 6d0eb38557 Fix deadlock for multiple replicating truncates of the same table.
While applying the truncate change, the logical apply worker acquires
RowExclusiveLock on the relation being truncated. This allowed truncate on
the relation at a time by two apply workers which lead to a deadlock. The
reason was that one of the workers after updating the pg_class tuple tries
to acquire SHARE lock on the relation and started to wait for the second
worker which has acquired RowExclusiveLock on the relation. And when the
second worker tries to update the pg_class tuple, it starts to wait for
the first worker which leads to a deadlock. Fix it by acquiring
AccessExclusiveLock on the relation before applying the truncate change as
we do for normal truncate operation.

Tom Lane f21fadafaf Avoid detoasting failure after COMMIT inside a plpgsql FOR loop.
exec_for_query() normally tries to prefetch a few rows at a time
from the query being iterated over, so as to reduce executor
entry/exit overhead.  Unfortunately this is unsafe if we have
COMMIT or ROLLBACK within the loop, because there might be
TOAST references in the data that we prefetched but haven't
yet examined.  Immediately after the COMMIT/ROLLBACK, we have
no snapshots in the session, meaning that VACUUM is at liberty
to remove recently-deleted TOAST rows.

This was originally reported as a case triggering the "no known
snapshots" error in init_toast_snapshot(), but even if you miss
hitting that, you can get "missing toast chunk", as illustrated
by the added isolation test case.

To fix, just disable prefetching in non-atomic contexts.  Maybe
there will be performance complaints prompting us to work harder
later, but it's not clear at the moment that this really costs
much, and I doubt we'd want to back-patch any complicated fix.

In passing, adjust that error message in init_toast_snapshot()
to be a little clearer about the likely cause of the problem.

Patch by me, based on earlier investigation by Konstantin Knizhnik.

Per bug #15990 from Andreas Wicht.  Back-patch to v11 where

Tom Lane 413c1ef98e Avoid creating testtablespace directories where not wanted.
Recently we refactored things so that pg_regress makes the
"testtablespace" subdirectory used by the core regression tests,
instead of doing that in the makefiles.  That had the undesirable
side effect of making such a subdirectory in every directory that
has "input" or "output" test files.  Since these subdirectories
remain empty, git doesn't complain about them, but nonetheless
they're clutter.

To fix, invent an explicit --make-testtablespace-dir switch,
so that pg_regress only makes the subdirectory when explicitly
told to.

Amit Kapila 0a442a408b Fix 020_messages.pl test.
We were not waiting for a publisher to catch up with the subscriber after
creating a subscription. Now, it can happen that apply worker starts
replication even after we have disabled the subscription in the test. This
will make the test expect that there is no active slot whereas there
exists one. Fix this symptom by allowing the publisher to wait for
catching up with the subscription.

It is not a good idea to ensure if the slot is still active by checking
for walsender existence as we release the slot after we clean up the
walsender related memory. Fix that by checking the slot status in
pg_replication_slots.

Also, it is better to avoid repeated enabling/disabling of the
subscription.

Finally, we make autovacuum off for this test to avoid any empty
transaction appearing in the test while consuming changes.

Fujii Masao d8735b8b46 Fix issues in pg_stat_wal.
1) Previously there were both pgstat_send_wal() and pgstat_report_wal()
   in order to send WAL activity to the stats collector. With the former being
   used by wal writer, the latter by most other processes. They were a bit
   redundant and so this commit merges them into pgstat_send_wal() to
   simplify the code.

2) Previously WAL global statistics counters were calculated and then
   compared with zero-filled buffer in order to determine whether any WAL
   activity has happened since the last submission. These calculation and
   comparison were not cheap. This was regularly exercised even in read-only
   workloads. This commit fixes the issue by making some WAL activity
   counters directly be checked to determine if there's WAL activity stats
   to send.

3) Previously pgstat_report_stat() did not check if there's WAL activity
   stats to send as part of the "Don't expend a clock check if nothing to do"
   check at the top. It's probably rare to have pending WAL stats without
   also passing one of the other conditions, but for safely this commit
   changes pgstat_report_stats() so that it checks also some WAL activity
   counters at the top.

This commit also adds the comments about the design of WAL stats.

Tom Lane 30d8bad494 Be more careful about barriers when releasing BackgroundWorkerSlots.
ForgetBackgroundWorker lacked any memory barrier at all, while
BackgroundWorkerStateChange had one but unaccountably did
additional manipulation of the slot after the barrier.  AFAICS,
the rule must be that the barrier is immediately before setting
or clearing slot->in_use.

It looks like back in 9.6 when ForgetBackgroundWorker was first
written, there might have been some case for not needing a
barrier there, but I'm not very convinced of that --- the fact
that the load of bgw_notify_pid is in the caller doesn't seem
to guarantee no memory ordering problem.  So patch 9.6 too.

It's likely that this doesn't fix any observable bug on Intel
hardware, but machines with weaker memory ordering rules could
have problems here.

Peter Geoghegan 8f72bbac3e Harden nbtree deduplication posting split code.
Add a defensive "can't happen" error to code that handles nbtree posting
list splits (promote an existing assertion).  This avoids a segfault in
the event of an insertion of a newitem that is somehow identical to an
existing non-pivot tuple in the index.  An nbtree index should never
have two index tuples with identical TIDs.

This scenario is not particular unlikely in the event of any kind of
corruption that leaves the index in an inconsistent state relative to
the heap relation that is indexed.  There are two known reports of
preventable hard crashes.  Doing nothing seems unacceptable given the
general expectation that nbtree will cope reasonably well with corrupt
data.

Tom Lane c3c35a733c Prevent infinite insertion loops in spgdoinsert().
Formerly we just relied on operator classes that assert longValuesOK
to eventually shorten the leaf value enough to fit on an index page.
That fails since the introduction of INCLUDE-column support (commit
09c1c6ab4), because the INCLUDE columns might alone take up more
than a page, meaning no amount of leaf-datum compaction will get
the job done.  At least with spgtextproc.c, that leads to an infinite
loop, since spgtextproc.c won't throw an error for not being able
to shorten the leaf datum anymore.

To fix without breaking cases that would otherwise work, add logic
to spgdoinsert() to verify that the leaf tuple size is decreasing
after each "choose" step.  Some opclasses might not decrease the
size on every single cycle, and in any case, alignment roundoff
of the tuple size could obscure small gains.  Therefore, allow
up to 10 cycles without additional savings before throwing an
error.  (Perhaps this number will need adjustment, but it seems
quite generous right now.)

As long as we've developed this logic, let's back-patch it.
The back branches don't have INCLUDE columns to worry about, but
this seems like a good defense against possible bugs in operator
classes.  We already know that an infinite loop here is pretty
unpleasant, so having a defense seems to outweigh the risk of
breaking things.  (Note that spgtextproc.c is actually the only
known opclass with longValuesOK support, so that this is all moot
for known non-core opclasses anyway.)

Per report from Dilip Kumar.

Tom Lane eb7a6b9229 Fix query-cancel handling in spgdoinsert().
Knowing that a buggy opclass could cause an infinite insertion loop,
spgdoinsert() intended to allow its loop to be interrupted by query
cancel.  However, that never actually worked, because in iterations
after the first, we'd be holding buffer lock(s) which would cause
InterruptHoldoffCount to be positive, preventing servicing of the
interrupt.

To fix, check if an interrupt is pending, and if so fall out of
the insertion loop and service the interrupt after we've released
the buffers.  If it was indeed a query cancel, that's the end of
the matter.  If it was a non-canceling interrupt reason, make use
of the existing provision to retry the whole insertion.  (This isn't
as wasteful as it might seem, since any upper-level index tuples we
already created should be usable in the next attempt.)

While there's no known instance of such a bug in existing release
branches, it still seems like a good idea to back-patch this to
all supported branches, since the behavior is fairly nasty if a
loop does happen --- not only is it uncancelable, but it will
quickly consume memory to the point of an OOM failure.  In any
case, this code is certainly not working as intended.

Per report from Dilip Kumar.

Tom Lane e47f93f981 Refactor CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() to add flexibility.
Split up CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() to provide an additional macro
INTERRUPTS_PENDING_CONDITION(), which just tests whether an
interrupt is pending without attempting to service it.  This is
useful in situations where the caller knows that interrupts are
blocked, and would like to find out if it's worth the trouble
to unblock them.

Also add INTERRUPTS_CAN_BE_PROCESSED(), which indicates whether
CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() can be relied on to clear the pending interrupt.

This commit doesn't actually add any uses of the new macros,
but a follow-on bug fix will do so.  Back-patch to all supported
branches to provide infrastructure for that fix.
