Amit Kapila 8a812e5106 Track replication origin progress for rollbacks.
Commit 1eb6d6527a allowed to track replica origin replay progress for 2PC
but it was not complete. It misses to properly track the progress for
rollback prepared especially it missed updating the code for recovery.
Additionally, we need to allow tracking it on subscriber nodes where
wal_level might not be logical.

It is required to track decoding of 2PC which is committed in PG14
(a271a1b50e) and also nobody complained about this till now so not
backpatching it.

Michael Paquier f1516ad7b3 pgbench: Simplify some port, host, user and dbname assignments
Using pgbench in an environment with both PGPORT and PGUSER set would
have caused the generation of a debug log with an incorrect database
name due to an oversight in 412893b.  Not specifying user, port and/or
database using the option switches, without their respective environment
variables, generated a log entry with empty strings, which was
rather useless.

This commit fixes this set of issues by simplifying the logic grabbing
the connection information, removing a set of getenv() calls that
emulated what libpq already does.  The faulty debug log now directly
uses the information from the libpq connection, and it gets generated
after the connection to the backend is completed, not before it (in the
event of a failure libpq would complain with more information about the
connection attempt so the log is not really useful before anyway).

Since PG 8.2, @ and ~ have been deprecated aliases for the containment

remove them, so do so.

This completes the project begun in commit 2f70fdb06.  Note that in
the core types, the relation to the preferred operator names was
reversed from what it is in these contrib modules.  The confusion
that induced was a large part of the reason for deprecation.

Heikki Linnakangas 3174d69fb9 Remove server and libpq support for old FE/BE protocol version 2.
Protocol version 3 was introduced in PostgreSQL 7.4. There shouldn't be
many clients or servers left out there without version 3 support. But as
a courtesy, I kept just enough of the old protocol support that we can
still send the "unsupported protocol version" error in v2 format, so that
old clients can display the message properly. Likewise, libpq still
understands v2 ErrorResponse messages when establishing a connection.

The impetus to do this now is that I'm working on a patch to COPY
FROM, to always prefetch some data. We cannot do that safely with the
old protocol, because it requires parsing the input one byte at a time
to detect the end-of-copy marker.

the first time when it gets changes via pg_logical_slot_get_changes()
without two_phase option enabled it will not get the prepared even though
prepare is after consistent snapshot. Now next time during getting changes,
if the two_phase option is enabled it can skip prepare because by that
time start decoding point has been moved. So the user will only get commit
prepared.

Tom Lane ee28cacf61 Extend the abilities of libpq's target_session_attrs parameter.
In addition to the existing options of "any" and "read-write", we
now support "read-only", "primary", "standby", and "prefer-standby".
"read-write" retains its previous meaning of "transactions are
read-write by default", and "read-only" inverts that.  The other
three modes test specifically for hot-standby status, which is not
quite the same thing.  (Setting default_transaction_read_only on
a primary server renders it read-only to this logic, but not a
standby.)

Furthermore, if talking to a v14 or later server, no extra network
round trip is needed to detect the session's status; the GUC_REPORT
variables delivered by the server are enough.  When talking to an
older server, a SHOW or SELECT query is issued to detect session
read-only-ness or server hot-standby state, as needed.

This extends the changes made in commit cebc1d34e, teaching
parseqatom() to generate fewer or cheaper subre nodes in some edge
cases.  The case of interest here is a quantified atom that is "messy"
only because it has greediness opposite to what preceded it (whereas
captures and backrefs are intrinsically messy).  In this case we don't
need an iteration node, since we don't care where the sub-matches of
the quantifier are; and we might also not need a second concatenation
node.  This seems of only marginal real-world use according to my
testing, but I wanted to get it in before wrapping up this series of
regex performance fixes.

Tom Lane 0c3405cf11 Improve performance of regular expression back-references.
In some cases, at the time that we're doing an NFA-based precheck
of whether a backref subexpression can match at a particular place
in the string, we already know which substring the referenced
subexpression matched.  If so, we might as well forget about the NFA
and just compare the substring; this is faster and it gives an exact
rather than approximate answer.

In general, this optimization can help while we are prechecking within
the second child expression of a concat node, while the capture was
within the first child expression; then the substring was saved during
cdissect() of the first child and will be available to NFA checks done
while cdissect() recurses into the second child.  It can help quite a
lot if the tree looks like

              concat
             /      \
      capture        concat
                    /      \
     expensive stuff        backref

as we will be able to avoid recursively dissecting the "expensive
stuff" before discovering that the backref isn't satisfied with a
particular midpoint that the lower concat node is testing.  This
doesn't help if the concat tree is left-deep, as the capture node
won't get set soon enough (and it's hard to fix that without changing
the engine's match behavior).  Fortunately, right-deep concat trees
are the common case.

Tom Lane 4aea704a5b Fix semantics of regular expression back-references.
POSIX defines the behavior of back-references thus:

    The back-reference expression '\n' shall match the same (possibly
    empty) string of characters as was matched by a subexpression
    enclosed between "\(" and "\)" preceding the '\n'.

As far as I can see, the back-reference is supposed to consider only
the data characters matched by the referenced subexpression.  However,
because our engine copies the NFA constructed from the referenced
subexpression, it effectively enforces any constraints therein, too.
As an example, '(^.)\1' ought to match 'xx', or any other string
starting with two occurrences of the same character; but in our code
it does not, and indeed can't match anything, because the '^' anchor
constraint is included in the backref's copied NFA.  If POSIX intended
that, you'd think they'd mention it.  Perl for one doesn't act that
way, so it's hard to conclude that this isn't a bug.

Fix by modifying the backref's NFA immediately after it's copied from
the reference, replacing all constraint arcs by EMPTY arcs so that the
constraints are treated as automatically satisfied.  This still allows
us to enforce matching rules that depend only on the data characters;
for example, in '(^\d+).*\1' the NFA matching step will still know
that the backref can only match strings of digits.

Perhaps surprisingly, this change does not affect the results of any
of a rather large corpus of real-world regexes.  Nonetheless, I would
not consider back-patching it, since it's a clear compatibility break.

another condition variable.

There are no such cases currently, but a proposed patch would do this.

Thomas Munro 814f1d8bc3 Use condition variables for ProcSignalBarriers.
Instead of a poll/sleep loop, use a condition variable for precise
wake-up whenever a backend's pss_barrierGeneration advances.

Amit Kapila 8bdb1332eb Avoid repeated decoding of prepared transactions after a restart.
In commit a271a1b50e, we allowed decoding at prepare time and the prepare
was decoded again if there is a restart after decoding it. It was done
that way because we can't distinguish between the cases where we have not
decoded the prepare because it was prior to consistent snapshot or we have
decoded it earlier but restarted. To distinguish between these two cases,
we have introduced an initial_consistent_point at the slot level which is
an LSN at which we found a consistent point at the time of slot creation.
This is also the point where we have exported a snapshot for the initial
copy. So, prepare transaction prior to this point are sent along with
commit prepared.

This commit bumps SNAPBUILD_VERSION because of change in SnapBuild. It
will break existing slots which is fine in a major release.

Thomas Munro 6230912f23 Use FeBeWaitSet for walsender.c.
This avoids the need to set up and tear down a fresh WaitEventSet every
time we need need to wait.  We have to add an explicit exit on
postmaster exit (FeBeWaitSet isn't set up to do that automatically), so
move the code to do that into a new function to avoid repetition.

Thomas Munro a042ba2ba7 Introduce symbolic names for FeBeWaitSet positions.
Previously we used 0 and 1 to refer to the socket and latch in far flung
parts of the tree, without any explanation.  Also use PGINVALID_SOCKET
rather than -1 in a couple of places that didn't already do that.

Amit Kapila cf54e04b9e Update docs of logical replication for commit ce0fdbfe97.
Forgot to update the logical replication configuration settings page.
After commit ce0fdbfe97, table synchronization workers also started using
replication origins to track the progress and the same should be reflected
in docs.

Amit Kapila b4e3dc7fd4 Update the docs and comments for decoding of prepared xacts.
Commit a271a1b50e introduced decoding at prepare time in ReorderBuffer.
This can lead to deadlock for out-of-core logical replication solutions
that uses this feature to build distributed 2PC in case such transactions
lock [user] catalog tables exclusively. They need to inform users to not
have locks on catalog tables (via explicit LOCK command) in such
transactions.

Thomas Munro 6148656a0b Use EVFILT_SIGNAL for kqueue latches.
Cut down on system calls and other overheads by waiting for SIGURG
explicitly with kqueue instead of using a signal handler and self-pipe.
Affects *BSD and macOS systems.

This leaves only the poll implementation with a signal handler and the
traditional self-pipe trick.

Cut down on system calls and other overheads by reading from a signalfd
instead of using a signal handler and self-pipe.  Affects Linux sytems,
and possibly others including illumos that implement the Linux epoll and
signalfd interfaces.
