Daniel Gustafsson 664d757531 Refactor background psql TAP functions
This breaks out the background and interactive psql functionality into a
new class, PostgreSQL::Test::BackgroundPsql.  Sessions are still initiated
via PostgreSQL::Test::Cluster, but once started they can be manipulated by
the new helper functions which intend to make querying easier.  A sample
session for a command which can be expected to finish at a later time can
be seen below.

  my $session = $node->background_psql('postgres');
  $bsession->query_until(qr/start/, q(
    \echo start
	CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY idx ON t(a);
  ));
  $bsession->quit;

Robert Haas 482675987b Add a run_as_owner option to subscriptions.
This option is normally false, but can be set to true to obtain
the legacy behavior where the subscription runs with the permissions
of the subscription owner rather than the permissions of the
table owner. The advantages of this mode are (1) it doesn't require
that the subscription owner have permission to SET ROLE to each
table owner and (2) since no role switching occurs, the
SECURITY_RESTRICTED_OPERATION restrictions do not apply.

On the downside, it allows any table owner to easily usurp
the privileges of the subscription owner - basically, to take
over their account. Because that's generally quite undesirable,
we don't make this mode the default, but we do make it available,
just in case the new behavior causes too many problems for someone.

Robert Haas 1e10d49b65 Perform logical replication actions as the table owner.
Up until now, logical replication actions have been performed as the
subscription owner, who will generally be a superuser.  Commit
cec57b1a0f documented hazards
associated with that situation, namely, that any user who owns a
table on the subscriber side could assume the privileges of the
subscription owner by attaching a trigger, expression index, or
some other kind of executable code to it. As a remedy, it suggested
not creating configurations where users who are not fully trusted
own tables on the subscriber.

Although that will work, it basically precludes using logical
replication in the way that people typically want to use it,
namely, to replicate a database from one node to another
without necessarily having any restrictions on which database
users can own tables. So, instead, change logical replication to
execute INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, and TRUNCATE operations as the
table owner when they are replicated.

Since this involves switching the active user frequently within
a session that is authenticated as the subscription user, also
impose SECURITY_RESTRICTED_OPERATION restrictions on logical
replication code. As an exception, if the table owner can SET
ROLE to the subscription owner, these restrictions have no
security value, so don't impose them in that case.

Subscription owners are now required to have the ability to
SET ROLE to every role that owns a table that the subscription
is replicating. If they don't, replication will fail. Superusers,
who normally own subscriptions, satisfy this property by default.
Non-superusers users who own subscriptions will need to be
granted the roles that own relevant tables.

Patch by me, reviewed (but not necessarily in its entirety) by
Jelte Fennema, Jeff Davis, and Noah Misch.

Robert Haas c3afe8cf5a Add new predefined role pg_create_subscription.
This role can be granted to non-superusers to allow them to issue
CREATE SUBSCRIPTION. The non-superuser must additionally have CREATE
permissions on the database in which the subscription is to be
created.

Most forms of ALTER SUBSCRIPTION, including ALTER SUBSCRIPTION .. SKIP,
now require only that the role performing the operation own the
subscription, or inherit the privileges of the owner. However, to
use ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... RENAME or ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... OWNER TO,
you also need CREATE permission on the database. This is similar to
what we do for schemas. To change the owner of a schema, you must also
have permission to SET ROLE to the new owner, similar to what we do
for other object types.

Non-superusers are required to specify a password for authentication
and the remote side must use the password, similar to what is required
for postgres_fdw and dblink.  A superuser who wants a non-superuser to
own a subscription that does not rely on password authentication may
set the new password_required=false property on that subscription. A
non-superuser may not set password_required=false and may not modify a
subscription that already has password_required=false.

This new password_required subscription property works much like the
eponymous postgres_fdw property.  In both cases, the actual semantics
are that a password is not required if either (1) the property is set
to false or (2) the relevant user is the superuser.

Amit Kapila 062a844424 Avoid syncing data twice for the 'publish_via_partition_root' option.
When there are multiple publications for a subscription and one of those
publishes via the parent table by using publish_via_partition_root and the
other one directly publishes the child table, we end up copying the same
data twice during initial synchronization. The reason for this was that we
get both the parent and child tables from the publisher and try to copy
the data for both of them.

This patch extends the function pg_get_publication_tables() to take a
publication list as its input parameter. This allows us to exclude a
partition table whose ancestor is published by the same publication list.

This problem does exist in back-branches but we decide to fix it there in
a separate commit if required. The fix for back-branches requires quite
complicated changes to fetch the required table information from the
publisher as we can't update the function pg_get_publication_tables() in
back-branches. We are not sure whether we want to deviate and complicate
the code in back-branches for this problem as there are no field reports
yet.

Previously, tables are copied in text format even if the subscription is

A binary copy for initial table synchronization is supported only when

Amit Kapila 89e46da5e5 Allow the use of indexes other than PK and REPLICA IDENTITY on the subscriber.
Using REPLICA IDENTITY FULL on the publisher can lead to a full table scan
per tuple change on the subscription when REPLICA IDENTITY or PK index is
not available. This makes REPLICA IDENTITY FULL impractical to use apart
from some small number of use cases.

This patch allows using indexes other than PRIMARY KEY or REPLICA
IDENTITY on the subscriber during apply of update/delete. The index that
can be used must be a btree index, not a partial index, and it must have
at least one column reference (i.e. cannot consist of only expressions).
We can uplift these restrictions in the future. There is no smart
mechanism to pick the index. If there is more than one index that
satisfies these requirements, we just pick the first one. We discussed
using some of the optimizer's low-level APIs for this but ruled it out
as that can be a maintenance burden in the long run.

This patch improves the performance in the vast majority of cases and the
improvement is proportional to the amount of data in the table. However,
there could be some regression in a small number of cases where the indexes
have a lot of duplicate and dead rows. It was discussed that those are
mostly impractical cases but we can provide a table or subscription level
option to disable this feature if required.

Extend the existing developer option 'logical_replication_mode' to help
test the parallel apply of large transactions on the subscriber.

When set to 'buffered', the leader sends changes to parallel apply workers
via a shared memory queue. When set to 'immediate', the leader serializes
all changes to files and notifies the parallel apply workers to read and
apply them at the end of the transaction.

This helps in adding tests to cover the serialization code path in

Amit Kapila 1e8b61735c Rename GUC logical_decoding_mode to logical_replication_mode.
Rename the developer option 'logical_decoding_mode' to the more flexible
name 'logical_replication_mode' because doing so will make it easier to
extend this option in the future to help test other areas of logical
replication.

Currently, it is used on the publisher side to allow streaming or
serializing each change in logical decoding. In the upcoming patch, we are
planning to use it on the subscriber. On the subscriber, it will allow
serializing the changes to file and notifies the parallel apply workers to
read and apply them at the end of the transaction.

We discussed exposing this parameter as a subscription option but
it did not seem advisable since it is primarily used for testing/debugging
and there is no other such parameter. We also discussed having separate
GUCs for publisher and subscriber but for current testing/debugging
requirements, one GUC is sufficient.

Amit Kapila 6c6d6ba3ee Fix the Drop Database hang.
The drop database command waits for the logical replication sync worker to
accept ProcSignalBarrier and the worker's slot creation waits for the drop
database to finish which leads to a deadlock. This happens because the
tablesync worker holds interrupts while creating a slot.

We prevent cancel/die interrupts while creating a slot in the table sync
worker because it is possible that before the server finishes this
command, a concurrent drop subscription happens which would complete
without removing this slot and that leads to the slot existing until the
end of walsender. However, the slot will eventually get dropped at the
walsender exit time, so there is no danger of the dangling slot.

This patch reallows cancel/die interrupts while creating a slot and
modifies the test to wait for slots to become zero to prevent finding an
ephemeral slot.

The reported hang doesn't happen in PG14 as the drop database starts to
wait for ProcSignalBarrier with PG15 (commits 4eb2176318 and e2f65f4255)
but it is good to backpatch this till PG14 as it is not a good idea to
prevent interrupts during a network call that could block indefinitely.

In commit 8bf6ec3ba I assumed that no code path could reach
ExecGetExtraUpdatedCols without having gone through
ExecInitStoredGenerated.  That turns out not to be the case in
logical replication: if there's an ON UPDATE trigger on the target
table, trigger.c will call this code before anybody has set up its
generated columns.  Having seen that, I don't have a lot of faith in
there not being other such paths.  ExecGetExtraUpdatedCols can call
ExecInitStoredGenerated for itself, as long as we are willing to
assume that it is only called in CMD_UPDATE operations, which on
the whole seems like a safer leap of faith.

Amit Kapila b7ae039536 Ignore dropped and generated columns from the column list.
We don't allow different column lists for the same table in the different
publications of the single subscription. A publication with a column list
except for dropped and generated columns should be considered the same as
a publication with no column list (which implicitly includes all columns
as part of the columns list). However, as we were not excluding the
dropped and generated columns from the column list combining such
publications leads to an error "cannot use different column lists for
table ...".

We decided not to backpatch this fix as there is a risk of users seeing
this as a behavior change and also we didn't see any field report of this
case.

Amit Kapila 216a784829 Perform apply of large transactions by parallel workers.
Currently, for large transactions, the publisher sends the data in
multiple streams (changes divided into chunks depending upon
logical_decoding_work_mem), and then on the subscriber-side, the apply
worker writes the changes into temporary files and once it receives the
commit, it reads from those files and applies the entire transaction. To
improve the performance of such transactions, we can instead allow them to
be applied via parallel workers.

In this approach, we assign a new parallel apply worker (if available) as
soon as the xact's first stream is received and the leader apply worker
will send changes to this new worker via shared memory. The parallel apply
worker will directly apply the change instead of writing it to temporary
files. However, if the leader apply worker times out while attempting to
send a message to the parallel apply worker, it will switch to
"partial serialize" mode -  in this mode, the leader serializes all
remaining changes to a file and notifies the parallel apply workers to
read and apply them at the end of the transaction. We use a non-blocking
way to send the messages from the leader apply worker to the parallel
apply to avoid deadlocks. We keep this parallel apply assigned till the
transaction commit is received and also wait for the worker to finish at
commit. This preserves commit ordering and avoid writing to and reading
from files in most cases. We still need to spill if there is no worker
available.

This patch also extends the SUBSCRIPTION 'streaming' parameter so that the
user can control whether to apply the streaming transaction in a parallel
apply worker or spill the change to disk. The user can set the streaming
parameter to 'on/off', or 'parallel'. The parameter value 'parallel' means
the streaming will be applied via a parallel apply worker, if available.
The parameter value 'on' means the streaming transaction will be spilled
to disk. The default value is 'off' (same as current behaviour).

In addition, the patch extends the logical replication STREAM_ABORT
message so that abort_lsn and abort_time can also be sent which can be
used to update the replication origin in parallel apply worker when the
streaming transaction is aborted. Because this message extension is needed
to support parallel streaming, parallel streaming is not supported for
publications on servers < PG16.

We previously thought that allowing such cases can confuse users when they

on discussion. This helps to uplift the restriction during
ALTER TABLE ... SET SCHEMA which used to ensure that we couldn't end up
with a publication having both a schema and the same schema's table.

To allow this, we need to forbid having any schema on a publication if
column lists on a table are specified (and vice versa). This is because
otherwise we still need a restriction during ALTER TABLE ... SET SCHEMA to
forbid cases where it could lead to a publication having both a schema and
the same schema's table with column list.

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.

Amit Kapila 8756930190 Raise a warning if there is a possibility of data from multiple origins.
This commit raises a warning message for a combination of options
('copy_data = true' and 'origin = none') during CREATE/ALTER subscription
operations if the publication tables were also replicated from other
publishers.

During replication, we can skip the data from other origins as we have that
information in WAL but that is not possible during initial sync so we raise
a warning if there is such a possibility.

Amit Kapila 0c20dd33db Add wait_for_subscription_sync for TAP tests.
The TAP tests for logical replication in src/test/subscription are using
the following code in many places to make sure that the subscription is
synchronized with the publisher:

  $node_publisher->wait_for_catchup('tap_sub');
  $node_subscriber->poll_query_until('postgres',
    qq[SELECT count(1) = 0
       FROM pg_subscription_rel
       WHERE srsubstate NOT IN ('r', 's')]);

The new function wait_for_subscription_sync() can be used to replace the
above code. This eliminates duplicated code and makes it easier to write
future tests.

Amit Kapila 366283961a Allow users to skip logical replication of data having origin.
This patch adds a new SUBSCRIPTION parameter "origin". It specifies
whether the subscription will request the publisher to only send changes
that don't have an origin or send changes regardless of origin. Setting it
to "none" means that the subscription will request the publisher to only
send changes that have no origin associated. Setting it to "any" means
that the publisher sends changes regardless of their origin. The default
is "any".
Usage:
CREATE SUBSCRIPTION sub1 CONNECTION 'dbname=postgres port=9999'
PUBLICATION pub1 WITH (origin = none);

This can be used to avoid loops (infinite replication of the same data)
among replication nodes.

This feature allows filtering only the replication data originating from
WAL but for initial sync (initial copy of table data) we don't have such a
facility as we can only distinguish the data based on origin from WAL. As
a follow-up patch, we are planning to forbid the initial sync if the
origin is specified as none and we notice that the publication tables were
also replicated from other publishers to avoid duplicate data or loops.

We forbid to allow creating origin with names 'none' and 'any' to avoid
confusion with the same name options.

Amit Kapila 26b3455afa Fix partition table's REPLICA IDENTITY checking on the subscriber.
In logical replication, we will check if the target table on the
subscriber is updatable by comparing the replica identity of the table on
the publisher with the table on the subscriber. When the target table is a
partitioned table, we only check its replica identity but not for the
partition tables. This leads to assertion failure while applying changes
for update/delete as we expect those to succeed only when the
corresponding partition table has a primary key or has a replica
identity defined.

Fix it by checking the replica identity of the partition table while
applying changes.

Amit Kapila 5a97b13254 Fix cache look-up failures while applying changes in logical replication.
While building a new attrmap which maps partition attribute numbers to
remoterel's, we incorrectly update the map for dropped column attributes.
Later, it caused cache look-up failure when we tried to use the map to
fetch the information about attributes.

This also fixes the partition map cache invalidation which was using the
wrong type cast to fetch the entry. We were using stale partition map
entry after invalidation which leads to the assertion or cache look-up
failure.

Amit Kapila fd0b9dcebd Prohibit combining publications with different column lists.
Currently, we simply combine the column lists when publishing tables on
multiple publications and that can sometimes lead to unexpected behavior.
Say, if a column is published in any row-filtered publication, then the
values for that column are sent to the subscriber even for rows that don't
match the row filter, as long as the row matches the row filter for any
other publication, even if that other publication doesn't include the
column.

The main purpose of introducing a column list is to have statically
different shapes on publisher and subscriber or hide sensitive column
data. In both cases, it doesn't seem to make sense to combine column
lists.

So, we disallow the cases where the column list is different for the same
table when combining publications. It can be later extended to combine the
column lists for selective cases where required.

Amit Kapila d5a9d86d8f Skip empty transactions for logical replication.
The current logical replication behavior is to send every transaction to
subscriber even if the transaction is empty. This can happen because
transaction doesn't contain changes from the selected publications or all
the changes got filtered. It is a waste of CPU cycles and network
bandwidth to build/transmit these empty transactions.

This patch addresses the above problem by postponing the BEGIN message
until the first change is sent. While processing a COMMIT message, if
there was no other change for that transaction, do not send the COMMIT
message. This allows us to skip sending BEGIN/COMMIT messages for empty
transactions.

When skipping empty transactions in synchronous replication mode, we send
a keepalive message to avoid delaying such transactions.

tablesync workers happen do not complete quickly enough, the test won't

This probably explains intermittent failures on a couple buildfarm
