Robert Haas bc7fcab5e3 Read from the same worker repeatedly until it returns no tuple.
The original coding read tuples from workers in round-robin fashion,
but performance testing shows that it works much better to read enough
to empty one queue before moving on to the next.  I believe the
reason for this is that, with the old approach, we could easily wake
up a worker repeatedly to write only one new tuple into the shm_mq
each time.  With this approach, by the time the process gets scheduled,
it has a decent chance of being able to fill the entire buffer in
one go.

Patch by me.  Dilip Kumar helped with performance testing.

Robert Haas 51d152f18e Change Gather not to use a physical tlist.
This should have been part of the original commit, but was missed.
Pushing data between processes is expensive, so we definitely want
to project away unneeded columns here, just as we do for other nodes
like Sort and Hash that care about the volume of data.

Robert Haas ccd8f97922 postgres_fdw: Consider requesting sorted data so we can do a merge join.
When use_remote_estimate is enabled, consider adding ORDER BY to the
query we sending to the remote server so that we can use that ordered
data for a merge join.  Commit f18c944b61
arranges to push down the query pathkeys, which seems like the case
mostly likely to be a win, but testing shows this can sometimes win,
too.

For a regular table, we know which indexes are present and therefore
test whether the ordering provided by each such index is useful.  Here,
we take the opposite approach: guess what orderings would be useful if
they could be generated cheaply, and then ask the remote side what those
will cost.

Stephen Frost 6f8cb1e234 Make viewquery a copy in rewriteTargetView()
Rather than expect the Query returned by get_view_query() to be
read-only and then copy bits and pieces of it out, simply copy the
entire structure when we get it.  This addresses an issue where
AcquireRewriteLocks, which is called by acquireLocksOnSubLinks(),
scribbles on the parsetree passed in, which was actually an entry
in relcache, leading to segfaults with certain view definitions.
This also future-proofs us a bit for anyone adding more code to this
path.

The acquireLocksOnSubLinks() was added in commit c3e0ddd40.

Tom Lane c4a8812cf6 Use just one standalone-backend session for initdb's post-bootstrap steps.
Previously, each subroutine in initdb fired up its own standalone backend
session.  Over time we'd grown as many as fifteen of these sessions,
and the cumulative startup and shutdown work for them was getting pretty
noticeable.  Combining things so that all these steps share a single
backend session cuts a good 10% off the total runtime of initdb, more
if you're not fsync'ing.

The main stumbling block to doing this before was that some of the sessions
were run with -j and some not.  The improved definition of -j mode
implemented by my previous commit makes it possible to fix that by running
all the post-bootstrap steps with -j; we just have to use double instead of
single newlines to end command strings.  (This is only absolutely necessary
around the VACUUM and CREATE DATABASE steps, since those can't be run in a
transaction block.  But it seems best to make them all use double newlines
so that the commands remain separate for error-reporting purposes.)

A minor disadvantage is that since initdb can't tell how much of its
output the backend has executed, we can no longer have the per-step
progress reporting initdb used to print.  But things are fast enough
nowadays that that's not really all that useful anyway.

In passing, add more const decoration to some of the static arrays in
initdb.c.

Tom Lane 66d947b9d3 Adjust behavior of single-user -j mode for better initdb error reporting.
Previously, -j caused the entire input file to be read in and executed as
a single command string.  That's undesirable, not least because any error
causes the entire file to be regurgitated as the "failing query".  Some
experimentation suggests a better rule: end the command string when we see
a semicolon immediately followed by two newlines, ie, an empty line after
a query.  This serves nicely to break up the existing examples such as
information_schema.sql and system_views.sql.  A limitation is that it's
no longer possible to write such a sequence within a string literal or
multiline comment in a file meant to be read with -j; but there are no
instances of such a problem within the data currently used by initdb.
(If someone does make such a mistake in future, it'll be obvious because
they'll get an unterminated-literal or unterminated-comment syntax error.)
Other than that, there shouldn't be any negative consequences; you're not
forced to end statements that way, it's just a better idea in most cases.

In passing, remove src/include/tcop/tcopdebug.h, which is dead code
because it's not included anywhere, and hasn't been for more than
ten years.  One of the debug-support symbols it purported to describe
has been unreferenced for at least the same amount of time, and the
other is removed by this commit on the grounds that it was useless:
forcing -j mode all the time would have broken initdb.  The lack of
complaints about that, or about the missing inclusion, shows that
no one has tried to use TCOP_DONTUSENEWLINE in many years.

Alvaro Herrera 756e7b4c9d Rework internals of changing a type's ownership
This is necessary so that REASSIGN OWNED does the right thing with
composite types, to wit, that it also alters ownership of the type's
pg_class entry -- previously, the pg_class entry remained owned by the
original user, which caused later other failures such as the new owner's
inability to use ALTER TYPE to rename an attribute of the affected
composite.  Also, if the original owner is later dropped, the pg_class
entry becomes owned by a non-existant user which is bogus.

To fix, create a new routine AlterTypeOwner_oid which knows whether to
pass the request to ATExecChangeOwner or deal with it directly, and use
that in shdepReassignOwner rather than calling AlterTypeOwnerInternal
directly.  AlterTypeOwnerInternal is now simpler in that it only
modifies the pg_type entry and recurses to handle a possible array type;
higher-level tasks are handled by either AlterTypeOwner directly or
AlterTypeOwner_oid.

I took the opportunity to add a few more objects to the test rig for
REASSIGN OWNED, so that more cases are exercised.  Additional ones could
be added for superuser-only-ownable objects (such as FDWs and event
triggers) but I didn't want to push my luck by adding a new superuser to
the tests on a backpatchable bug fix.

Per bug #13666 reported by Chris Pacejo.

Robert Haas 049469e7e7 Teach mdnblocks() not to create zero-length files.
It's entirely surprising that mdnblocks() has the side effect of
creating new files on disk, so let's make it not do that.  One
consequence of the old behavior is that, if running on a damaged
cluster that is missing a file, mdnblocks() can recreate the file
and allow a subsequent _mdfd_getseg() for a higher segment to succeed.
This happens because, while mdnblocks() stops when it finds a segment
that is shorter than 1GB, _mdfd_getseg() has no such check, and thus
the empty file created by mdnblocks() can allow it to continue its
traversal and find higher-numbered segments which remain.

It might be a good idea for _mdfd_getseg() to actually verify that
each segment it finds is exactly 1GB before proceeding to the next
one, but that would involve some additional system calls, so for
now I'm just doing this much.

Robert Haas 6150a1b08a Move buffer I/O and content LWLocks out of the main tranche.
Move the content lock directly into the BufferDesc, so that locking and
pinning a buffer touches only one cache line rather than two.  Adjust
the definition of BufferDesc slightly so that this doesn't make the
BufferDesc any larger than one cache line (at least on platforms where
a spinlock is only 1 or 2 bytes).

We can't fit the I/O locks into the BufferDesc and stay within one
cache line, so move those to a completely separate tranche.  This
leaves a relatively limited number of LWLocks in the main tranche, so
increase the padding of those remaining locks to a full cache line,
rather than allowing adjacent locks to share a cache line, hopefully
reducing false sharing.

Performance testing shows that these changes make little difference
on laptop-class machines, but help significantly on larger servers,
especially those with more than 2 sockets.

Robert Haas 3fed417452 Provide a way to predefine LWLock tranche IDs.
It's a bit cumbersome to use LWLockNewTrancheId(), because the returned
value needs to be shared between backends so that each backend can call
LWLockRegisterTranche() with the correct ID.  So, for built-in tranches,
use a hard-coded value instead.

This is motivated by an upcoming patch adding further built-in tranches.

Stephen Frost e5e11c8cca Collect the global OR of hasRowSecurity flags for plancache
We carry around information about if a given query has row security or
not to allow the plancache to use that information to invalidate a
planned query in the event that the environment changes.

Previously, the flag of one of the subqueries was simply being copied
into place to indicate if the query overall included RLS components.
That's wrong as we need the global OR of all subqueries.  Fix by
changing the code to match how fireRIRules works, which is results
in OR'ing all of the flags.

Andres Freund cca705a5d9 Fix bug in SetOffsetVacuumLimit() triggered by find_multixact_start() failure.
Previously, if find_multixact_start() failed, SetOffsetVacuumLimit() would
install 0 into MultiXactState->offsetStopLimit if it previously succeeded.
Luckily, there are no known cases where find_multixact_start() will return
an error in 9.5 and above. But if it were to happen, for example due to
filesystem permission issues, it'd be somewhat bad: GetNewMultiXactId()
could continue allocating mxids even if close to a wraparound, or it could
erroneously stop allocating mxids, even if no wraparound is looming.  The
wrong value would be corrected the next time SetOffsetVacuumLimit() is
called, or by a restart.

Andres Freund f54d0629ec Fix ALTER TABLE ... SET TABLESPACE for unlogged relations.
Changing the tablespace of an unlogged relation did not WAL log the
creation and content of the init fork. Thus, after a standby is
promoted, unlogged relation cannot be accessed anymore, with errors
like:
ERROR:  58P01: could not open file "pg_tblspc/...": No such file or directory
Additionally the init fork was not synced to disk, independent of the
configured wal_level, a relatively small durability risk.

Investigation of that problem also brought to light that, even for
permanent relations, the creation of !main forks was not WAL logged,
i.e. no XLOG_SMGR_CREATE record were emitted. That mostly turns out not
to be a problem, because these files were created when the actual
relation data is copied; nonexistent files are not treated as an error
condition during replay. But that doesn't work for empty files, and
generally feels a bit haphazard. Luckily, outside init and main forks,
empty forks don't occur often or are not a problem.

Add the required WAL logging and syncing to disk.

Tom Lane 4fcf48450d Get rid of the planner's LateralJoinInfo data structure.
I originally modeled this data structure on SpecialJoinInfo, but after
commit acfcd45cac that looks like a pretty poor decision.
All we really need is relid sets identifying laterally-referenced rels;
and most of the time, what we want to know about includes indirect lateral
references, a case the LateralJoinInfo data was unsuited to compute with
any efficiency.  The previous commit redefined RelOptInfo.lateral_relids
as the transitive closure of lateral references, so that it easily supports
checking indirect references.  For the places where we really do want just
direct references, add a new RelOptInfo field direct_lateral_relids, which
is easily set up as a copy of lateral_relids before we perform the
transitive closure calculation.  Then we can just drop lateral_info_list
and LateralJoinInfo and the supporting code.  This makes the planner's
handling of lateral references noticeably more efficient, and shorter too.

Such a change can't be back-patched into stable branches for fear of
breaking extensions that might be looking at the planner's data structures;
but it seems not too late to push it into 9.5, so I've done so.

Stephen Frost ed8bec915e Handle dependencies properly in ALTER POLICY
ALTER POLICY hadn't fully considered partial policy alternation
(eg: change just the roles on the policy, or just change one of
the expressions) when rebuilding the dependencies.  Instead, it
would happily remove all dependencies which existed for the
policy and then only recreate the dependencies for the objects
referred to in the specific ALTER POLICY command.

Correct that by extracting and building the dependencies for all
objects referenced by the policy, regardless of if they were
provided as part of the ALTER POLICY command or were already in
place as part of the pre-existing policy.
2015-12-11 15:43:03 -05:00
Tom Lane acfcd45cac Still more fixes for planner's handling of LATERAL references.
More fuzz testing by Andreas Seltenreich exposed that the planner did not
cope well with chains of lateral references.  If relation X references Y
laterally, and Y references Z laterally, then we will have to scan X on the
inside of a nestloop with Z, so for all intents and purposes X is laterally
dependent on Z too.  The planner did not understand this and would generate
intermediate joins that could not be used.  While that was usually harmless
except for wasting some planning cycles, under the right circumstances it
would lead to "failed to build any N-way joins" or "could not devise a
query plan" planner failures.

To fix that, convert the existing per-relation lateral_relids and
lateral_referencers relid sets into their transitive closures; that is,
they now show all relations on which a rel is directly or indirectly
laterally dependent.  This not only fixes the chained-reference problem
but allows some of the relevant tests to be made substantially simpler
and faster, since they can be reduced to simple bitmap manipulations
instead of searches of the LateralJoinInfo list.

Also, when a PlaceHolderVar that is due to be evaluated at a join contains
lateral references, we should treat those references as indirect lateral
dependencies of each of the join's base relations.  This prevents us from
trying to join any individual base relations to the lateral reference
source before the join is formed, which again cannot work.

Andreas' testing also exposed another oversight in the "dangerous
PlaceHolderVar" test added in commit 85e5e222b1.  Simply rejecting
unsafe join paths in joinpath.c is insufficient, because in some cases
we will end up rejecting *all* possible paths for a particular join, again
leading to "could not devise a query plan" failures.  The restriction has
to be known also to join_is_legal and its cohort functions, so that they
will not select a join for which that will happen.  I chose to move the
supporting logic into joinrels.c where the latter functions are.

Back-patch to 9.3 where LATERAL support was introduced.

Alvaro Herrera 69e7235c93 Fix commit timestamp initialization
This module needs explicit initialization in order to replay WAL records
in recovery, but we had broken this recently following changes to make
other (stranger) scenarios work correctly.  To fix, rework the
initialization sequence so that it always takes place before WAL replay
commences for both master and standby.

I could have gone for a more localized fix that just added a "startup"
call for the master server, but it seemed better to restructure the
existing callers as well so that the whole thing made more sense.  As a
drawback, there is more control logic in xlog.c now than previously, but
doing otherwise meant passing down the ControlFile flag, which seemed
uglier as a whole.

This also meant adding a check to not re-execute ActivateCommitTs if it
had already been called.

Andres Freund 84ac126ee7 Fix ON CONFLICT UPDATE bug breaking AFTER UPDATE triggers.
ExecOnConflictUpdate() passed t_ctid of the to-be-updated tuple to
ExecUpdate(). That's problematic primarily because of two reason: First
and foremost t_ctid could point to a different tuple. Secondly, and
that's what triggered the complaint by Stanislav, t_ctid is changed by
heap_update() to point to the new tuple version.  The behavior of AFTER
UPDATE triggers was therefore broken, with NEW.* and OLD.* tuples
spuriously identical within AFTER UPDATE triggers.

To fix both issues, pass a pointer to t_self of a on-stack HeapTuple
instead.

Fixing this bug lead to one change in regression tests, which previously
failed due to the first issue mentioned above. There's a reasonable
expectation that test fails, as it updates one row repeatedly within one
INSERT ... ON CONFLICT statement. That is only possible if the second
update is triggered via ON CONFLICT ... SET, ON CONFLICT ... WHERE, or
by a WITH CHECK expression, as those are executed after
ExecOnConflictUpdate() does a visibility check. That could easily be
prohibited, but given it's allowed for plain UPDATEs and a rare corner
case, it doesn't seem worthwhile.

Andres Freund e3f4cfc7aa Fix bug leading to restoring unlogged relations from empty files.
At the end of crash recovery, unlogged relations are reset to the empty
state, using their init fork as the template. The init fork is copied to
the main fork without going through shared buffers. Unfortunately WAL
replay so far has not necessarily flushed writes from shared buffers to
disk at that point. In normal crash recovery, and before the
introduction of 'fast promotions' in fd4ced523 / 9.3, the
END_OF_RECOVERY checkpoint flushes the buffers out in time. But with
fast promotions that's not the case anymore.

To fix, force WAL writes targeting the init fork to be flushed
immediately (using the new FlushOneBuffer() function). In 9.5+ that
flush can centrally be triggered from the code dealing with restoring
full page writes (XLogReadBufferForRedoExtended), in earlier releases
that responsibility is in the hands of XLOG_HEAP_NEWPAGE's replay
function.

Backpatch to 9.1, even if this currently is only known to trigger in
9.3+. Flushing earlier is more robust, and it is advantageous to keep
the branches similar.

Typical symptoms of this bug are errors like
'ERROR:  index "..." contains unexpected zero page at block 0'
shortly after promoting a node.

Robert Haas 385f337c9f Allow foreign and custom joins to handle EvalPlanQual rechecks.
Commit e7cb7ee145 provided basic
infrastructure for allowing a foreign data wrapper or custom scan
provider to replace a join of one or more tables with a scan.
However, this infrastructure failed to take into account the need
for possible EvalPlanQual rechecks, and ExecScanFetch would fail
an assertion (or just overwrite memory) if such a check was attempted
for a plan containing a pushed-down join.  To fix, adjust the EPQ
machinery to skip some processing steps when scanrelid == 0, making
those the responsibility of scan's recheck method, which also has
the responsibility in this case of correctly populating the relevant
slot.

To allow foreign scans to gain control in the right place to make
use of this new facility, add a new, optional RecheckForeignScan
method.  Also, allow a foreign scan to have a child plan, which can
be used to correctly populate the slot (or perhaps for something
else, but this is the only use currently envisioned).

Tom Lane edca44b152 Simplify LATERAL-related calculations within add_paths_to_joinrel().
While convincing myself that commit 7e19db0c09 would solve both of
the problems recently reported by Andreas Seltenreich, I realized that
add_paths_to_joinrel's handling of LATERAL restrictions could be made
noticeably simpler and faster if we were to retain the minimum possible
parameterization for each joinrel (that is, the set of relids supplying
unsatisfied lateral references in it).  We already retain that for
baserels, in RelOptInfo.lateral_relids, so we can use that field for
joinrels too.

I re-pgindent'd the files touched here, which affects some unrelated
comments.

This is, I believe, just a minor optimization not a bug fix, so no
back-patch.

Tom Lane 7e19db0c09 Fix another oversight in checking if a join with LATERAL refs is legal.
It was possible for the planner to decide to join a LATERAL subquery to
the outer side of an outer join before the outer join itself is completed.
Normally that's fine because of the associativity rules, but it doesn't
work if the subquery contains a lateral reference to the inner side of the
outer join.  In such a situation the outer join *must* be done first.
join_is_legal() missed this consideration and would allow the join to be
attempted, but the actual path-building code correctly decided that no
valid join path could be made, sometimes leading to planner errors such as
"failed to build any N-way joins".

Per report from Andreas Seltenreich.  Back-patch to 9.3 where LATERAL
support was added.

Alvaro Herrera 820ddb2c2f Further tweak commit_timestamp behavior
As pointed out by Fujii Masao, we weren't quite there on a standby
behaving sanely: first because we were failing to acquire the correct
state in the case where no XLOG_PARAMETER_CHANGE message was sent
(because a checkpoint had already happened after the setting was changed
in the master, and then the standby was restarted); and second because
promoting the standby with the feature enabled failed to activate it if
the master had the feature disabled.

This patch fixes both those misbehaviors hopefully without
re-introducing any old problems.

Also change the hint emitted in a standby together with the error
message about the feature being disabled, to make it point out that the
place to chance the setting is the master.  Otherwise, if the setting is
already enabled in the standby, it is very confusing to have it say that
the setting must be enabled ...

Authors: Álvaro Herrera, Petr Jelínek.
Backpatch to 9.5.

Tom Lane 7fb008c5ee Make gincostestimate() cope with hypothetical GIN indexes.
We tried to fetch statistics data from the index metapage, which does not
work if the index isn't actually present.  If the index is hypothetical,
instead extrapolate some plausible internal statistics based on the index
page count provided by the index-advisor plugin.

There was already some code in gincostestimate() to invent internal stats
in this way, but since it was only meant as a stopgap for pre-9.1 GIN
indexes that hadn't been vacuumed since upgrading, it was pretty crude.
If we want it to support index advisors, we should try a little harder.
A small amount of testing says that it's better to estimate the entry pages
as 90% of the index, not 100%.  Also, estimating the number of entries
(keys) as equal to the heap tuple count could be wildly wrong in either
direction.  Instead, let's estimate 100 entries per entry page.

Perhaps someday somebody will want the index advisor to be able to provide
these numbers more directly, but for the moment this should serve.

Problem report and initial patch by Julien Rouhaud; modified by me to
invent less-bogus internal statistics.  Back-patch to all supported
branches, since we've supported index advisors since 9.0.

Tom Lane ec7eef6b11 Avoid caching expression state trees for domain constraints across queries.
In commit 8abb3cda0d I attempted to cache
the expression state trees constructed for domain CHECK constraints for
the life of the backend (assuming the domain's constraints don't get
redefined).  However, this turns out not to work very well, because
execQual.c will run those state trees with ecxt_per_query_memory pointing
to a query-lifespan context, and in some situations we'll end up with
pointers into that context getting stored into the state trees.  This
happens in particular with SQL-language functions, as reported by
Emre Hasegeli, but there are many other cases.

To fix, keep only the expression plan trees for domain CHECK constraints
in the typcache's data structure, and revert to performing ExecInitExpr
(at least) once per query to set up expression state trees in the query's
context.

Eventually it'd be nice to undo this, but that will require some careful
thought about memory management for expression state trees, and it seems
far too late for any such redesign in 9.5.  This way is still much more
efficient than what happened before 8abb3cda0.

Tom Lane 8d32717b6b Avoid doing encoding conversions by double-conversion via MULE_INTERNAL.
Previously, we did many conversions for Cyrillic and Central European
single-byte encodings by converting to a related MULE_INTERNAL coding
scheme before converting to the destination.  This seems unnecessarily
inefficient.  Moreover, if the conversion encounters an untranslatable
character, the error message will confusingly complain about failure
to convert to or from MULE_INTERNAL, rather than the user-visible
encodings.  Worse still, this approach results in some completely
unnecessary conversion failures; there are cases where the chosen
MULE subset lacks characters that exist in both of the user-visible
encodings, causing a conversion failure that need not occur.

This patch fixes the first two of those deficiencies by introducing
a new local2local() conversion support subroutine for direct conversion
between any two single-byte character sets, and adding new conversion
tables where needed.  However, I generated the new conversion tables by
testing PG 9.5's behavior, so that the actual conversion behavior is
bug-compatible with previous releases; the only user-visible behavior
change is that the error messages for conversion failures are saner.
Changes in the conversion behavior will probably ensue after discussion.

Interestingly, although this approach requires more tables, the .so files
actually end up smaller (at least on my x86_64 machine); the tables are
smaller than the management code needed for double conversion.

Per a complaint from Albe Laurenz.

Tom Lane e17dab53ea Auto-generate file header comments in Unicode mapping files.
Some of the Unicode/*.map files had identification comments added to them,
evidently by hand.  Others did not.  Modify the generating scripts to
produce these comments automatically, and update the generated files that
lacked them.

This is just minor cleanup as a by-product of trying to verify that the
*.map files can indeed be reproduced from authoritative data.  There are a
depressingly large number that fail to reproduce from the claimed sources.
I have not touched those in this commit, except for the JIS 2004-related
files which required only a single comment update to match.

Since this only affects comments, no need to consider a back-patch.
