Alvaro Herrera bf2a691e02 Fix extended statistics with partial analyzes
Either because of a previous ALTER TABLE .. SET STATISTICS 0 or because
of being invoked with a partial column list, ANALYZE could fail to
acquire sufficient data to build extended statistics.  Previously, this
would draw an ERROR and fail to collect any statistics at all (extended
and regular).  Change things so that we raise a WARNING instead, and
remove a hint that was wrong in half the cases.

Tom Lane b6dd127128 Ensure BackgroundWorker struct contents are well-defined.
Coverity complained because bgw.bgw_extra wasn't being filled in by
ApplyLauncherRegister().  The most future-proof fix is to memset the
whole BackgroundWorker struct to zeroes.  While at it, let's apply the
same coding rule to other places that set up BackgroundWorker structs;
four out of five had the same or related issues.

Tom Lane a1888b59b5 Sync addRangeTableEntryForENR() with its peer functions.
addRangeTableEntryForENR had a check for pstate != NULL, which Coverity
pointed out was rather useless since it'd already dereferenced pstate
before that.  More to the point, we'd established policy in commit
bc93ac12c that we'd require non-NULL pstate for all addRangeTableEntryFor*
functions; this test was evidently copied-and-pasted from some older
version of one of those functions.  Make it look more like the others.

In passing, make an elog message look more like the rest of the code,
too.

Tom Lane a74740fbd3 Provide a way to control SysV shmem attach address in EXEC_BACKEND builds.
In standard non-Windows builds, there's no particular reason to care what
address the kernel chooses to map the shared memory segment at.  However,
when building with EXEC_BACKEND, there's a risk that the chosen address
won't be available in all child processes.  Linux with ASLR enabled (which
it is by default) seems particularly at risk because it puts shmem segments
into the same area where it maps shared libraries.  We can work around
that by specifying a mapping address that's outside the range where
shared libraries could get mapped.  On x86_64 Linux, 0x7e0000000000
seems to work well.

This is only meant for testing/debugging purposes, so it doesn't seem
necessary to go as far as providing a GUC (or any user-visible
documentation, though we might change that later).  Instead, it's just
controlled by setting an environment variable PG_SHMEM_ADDR to the
desired attach address.

Back-patch to all supported branches, since the point here is to
remove intermittent buildfarm failures on EXEC_BACKEND animals.
Owners of affected animals will need to add a suitable setting of
PG_SHMEM_ADDR to their build_env configuration.

Tom Lane 32470825d3 Avoid passing function pointers across process boundaries.
We'd already recognized that we can't pass function pointers across process
boundaries for functions in loadable modules, since a shared library could
get loaded at different addresses in different processes.  But actually the
practice doesn't work for functions in the core backend either, if we're
using EXEC_BACKEND.  This is the cause of recent failures on buildfarm
member culicidae.  Switch to passing a string function name in all cases.

Something like this needs to be back-patched into 9.6, but let's see
if the buildfarm likes it first.

Tom Lane 85a0781334 Use one transaction while reading postgres.bki, not one per line.
AFAICT, the only actual benefit of closing a bootstrap transaction
is to reclaim transient memory.  We can do that a lot more cheaply
by just doing a MemoryContextReset on a suitable context.  This
gets the runtime of the "bootstrap" phase of initdb down to the
point where, at least by eyeball, it's quite negligible compared
to the rest of the phases.  Per discussion with Andres Freund.

Tom Lane 2040bb4a0b Clean up manipulations of hash indexes' hasho_flag field.
Standardize on testing a hash index page's type by doing
	(opaque->hasho_flag & LH_PAGE_TYPE) == LH_xxx_PAGE
Various places were taking shortcuts like
	opaque->hasho_flag & LH_BUCKET_PAGE
which while not actually wrong, is still bad practice because
it encourages use of
	opaque->hasho_flag & LH_UNUSED_PAGE
which *is* wrong (LH_UNUSED_PAGE == 0, so the above is constant false).
hash_xlog.c's hash_mask() contained such an incorrect test.

This also ensures that we mask out the additional flag bits that
hasho_flag has accreted since 9.6.  pgstattuple's pgstat_hash_page(),
for one, was failing to do that and was thus actively broken.

Also fix assorted comments that hadn't been updated to reflect the
extended usage of hasho_flag, and fix some macros that were testing
just "(hasho_flag & bit)" to use the less dangerous, project-approved
form "((hasho_flag & bit) != 0)".

Coverity found the bug in hash_mask(); I noted the one in
pgstat_hash_page() through code reading.

Tom Lane 6cfaffc0dd Fix regexport.c to behave sanely with lookaround constraints.
regexport.c thought it could just ignore LACON arcs, but the correct
behavior is to treat them as satisfiable while consuming zero input
(rather reminiscently of commit 9f1e642d5).  Otherwise, the emitted
simplified-NFA representation may contain no paths leading from initial
to final state, which unsurprisingly confuses pg_trgm, as seen in
bug #14623 from Jeff Janes.

Since regexport's output representation has no concept of an arc that
consumes zero input, recurse internally to find the next normal arc(s)
after any LACON transitions.  We'd be forced into changing that
representation if a LACON could be the last arc reaching the final
state, but fortunately the regex library never builds NFAs with such
a configuration, so there always is a next normal arc.

Back-patch to 9.3 where this logic was introduced.

Heikki Linnakangas 4f3b87ab78 Improve the SASL authentication protocol.
This contains some protocol changes to SASL authentiation (which is new
in v10):

* For future-proofing, in the AuthenticationSASL message that begins SASL
  authentication, provide a list of SASL mechanisms that the server
  supports, for the client to choose from. Currently, it's always just
  SCRAM-SHA-256.

* Add a separate authentication message type for the final server->client
  SASL message, which the client doesn't need to respond to. This makes
  it unambiguous whether the client is supposed to send a response or not.
  The SASL mechanism should know that anyway, but better to be explicit.

Also, in the server, support clients that don't send an Initial Client
response in the first SASLInitialResponse message. The server is supposed
to first send an empty request in that case, to which the client will
respond with the data that usually comes in the Initial Client Response.
libpq uses the Initial Client Response field and doesn't need this, and I
would assume any other sensible implementation to use Initial Client
Response, too, but let's follow the SASL spec.

Improve the documentation on SASL authentication in protocol. Add a
section describing the SASL message flow, and some details on our
SCRAM-SHA-256 implementation.

Document the different kinds of PasswordMessages that the frontend sends
in different phases of SASL authentication, as well as GSS/SSPI
authentication as separate message formats. Even though they're all 'p'
messages, and the exact format depends on the context, describing them as
separate message formats makes the documentation more clear.

Tom Lane 5e39f06cfe Move bootstrap-time lookup of regproc OIDs into genbki.pl.
Formerly, the bootstrap backend looked up the OIDs corresponding to
names in regproc catalog entries using brute-force searches of pg_proc.
It was somewhat remarkable that that worked at all, since it was used
while populating other pretty-fundamental catalogs like pg_operator.
And it was also quite slow, and getting slower as pg_proc gets bigger.

This patch moves the lookup work into genbki.pl, so that the values in
postgres.bki for regproc columns are always numeric OIDs, an option
that regprocin() already supported.  Perl isn't the world's speediest
language, so this about doubles the time needed to run genbki.pl (from
0.3 to 0.6 sec on my machine).  But we only do that at most once per
build.  The time needed to run initdb drops significantly --- on my
machine, initdb --no-sync goes from 1.8 to 1.3 seconds.  So this is
a small net win even for just one initdb per build, and it becomes
quite a nice win for test sequences requiring many initdb runs.

Strip out the now-dead code for brute-force catalog searching in
regprocin.  We'd also cargo-culted similar logic into regoperin
and some (not all) of the other reg*in functions.  That is all
dead code too since we currently have no need to load such values
during bootstrap.  I removed it all, reasoning that if we ever
need such functionality it'd be much better to do it in a similar
way to this patch.

There might be some simplifications possible in the backend now that
regprocin doesn't require doing catalog reads so early in bootstrap.
I've not looked into that, though.

Heikki Linnakangas 00707fa582 Minor cleanup of backend SCRAM code.
Free each SASL message after sending it. It's not a lot of wasted memory,
and it's short-lived, but the authentication code in general tries to
pfree() stuff, so let's follow the example.

Adding the pfree() revealed a little bug in build_server_first_message().
It attempts to keeps a copy of the sent message, but it was missing a

into CheckSCRAMAuth().

Tom Lane 16ebab6886 Avoid transferring parallel-unsafe subplans to parallel workers.
Commit 5e6d8d2bb allowed parallel workers to execute parallel-safe
subplans, but it transmitted the query's entire list of subplans to
the worker(s).  Since execMain.c blindly does ExecInitNode and later
ExecEndNode on every list element, this resulted in parallel-unsafe plan
nodes nonetheless getting started up and shut down in parallel workers.
That seems mostly harmless as far as core plan node types go (but
maybe not so much for Gather?).  But it resulted in postgres_fdw
opening and then closing extra remote connections, and it's likely
that other non-parallel-safe FDWs or custom scan providers would have
worse reactions.

To fix, just make ExecSerializePlan replace parallel-unsafe subplans
with NULLs in the cut-down plan tree that it transmits to workers.
This relies on ExecInitNode and ExecEndNode to do nothing on NULL
input, but they do anyway.  If anything else is touching the dropped
subplans in a parallel worker, that would be a bug to be fixed.
(This thus provides a strong guarantee that we won't try to do
something with a parallel-unsafe subplan in a worker.)

This is, I think, the last fix directly occasioned by Andreas Seltenreich's
bug report of a few days ago.

Tom Lane 003d80f3df Mark finished Plan nodes with parallel_safe flags.
We'd managed to avoid doing this so far, but it seems pretty obvious
that it would be forced on us some day, and this is much the cleanest
way of approaching the open problem that parallel-unsafe subplans are
being transmitted to parallel workers.  Anyway there's no space cost
due to alignment considerations, and the time cost is pretty minimal
since we're just copying the flag from the corresponding Path node.
(At least in most cases ... some of the klugier spots in createplan.c
have to work a bit harder.)

In principle we could perhaps get rid of SubPlan.parallel_safe,
but I thought it better to keep that in case there are reasons to
consider a SubPlan unsafe even when its child plan is parallel-safe.

This patch doesn't actually do anything with the new flags, but
I thought I'd commit it separately anyway.

Note: although this touches outfuncs/readfuncs, there's no need for
a catversion bump because Plan trees aren't stored on disk.

Robert Haas 8ff518699f Fix confusion of max_parallel_workers mechanism following crash.
Commit b460f5d669 failed to contemplate
the possibilit that a parallel worker registered before a crash would
be unregistered only after the crash; if that happened, we'd end up
with parallel_terminate_count > parallel_register_count and the
system would refuse to launch any more parallel workers.

The easiest way to fix that seems to be to forget BGW_NEVER_RESTART
workers in ResetBackgroundWorkerCrashTimes() rather than leaving them
around to be cleaned up after the conclusion of the restart, so that
they go away before rather than after shared memory is reset.

To make sure that this fix is water-tight, don't allow parallel
workers to be anything other than BGW_NEVER_RESTART, so that after
recovering from a crash, 0 is guaranteed to be the correct starting
value for parallel_register_count.  The core code wouldn't do this
anyway, but somebody might try to do it in extension code.

As a consequence of commit 1d63f7d2d, on platforms with CLOCK_MONOTONIC,
you got some random timescale or other instead of standard Unix timestamps
as expected.  I'd attempted to fix pgbench for that change in commits
74baa1e3b and 67a875355, but missed this place.  Fix in the same way as
those previous commits, ie, just eat the cost of an extra gettimeofday();
one extra syscall per progress report isn't worth sweating over.  Per

In passing, use snprintf not sprintf for this purpose.  I don't think
there's any chance of actual buffer overrun, but it just looks safer.

provide, in one step, extraction of a list cell's pointer and coercion to

as "castNode(Foo, lfirst(lc))".  Almost half of the uses of castNode

pretty widely useful, and it saves a few more keystrokes compared to the
old way.

Tom Lane 511540dadf Move isolationtester's is-blocked query into C code for speed.
Commit 4deb41381 modified isolationtester's query to see whether a
session is blocked to also check for waits occurring in GetSafeSnapshot.
However, it did that in a way that enormously increased the query's
runtime under CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS, causing the buildfarm members
that use that to run about four times slower than before, and in some
cases fail entirely.  To fix, push the entire logic into a dedicated
backend function.  This should actually reduce the CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS
runtime from what it was previously, though I've not checked that.

In passing, expose a SQL function to check for safe-snapshot blockage,
comparable to pg_blocking_pids.  This is more or less free given the
infrastructure built to solve the other problem, so we might as well.

Tom Lane 9c7f5229ad Optimize joins when the inner relation can be proven unique.
If there can certainly be no more than one matching inner row for a given
outer row, then the executor can move on to the next outer row as soon as
it's found one match; there's no need to continue scanning the inner
relation for this outer row.  This saves useless scanning in nestloop
and hash joins.  In merge joins, it offers the opportunity to skip
mark/restore processing, because we know we have not advanced past the
first possible match for the next outer row.

Of course, the devil is in the details: the proof of uniqueness must
depend only on joinquals (not otherquals), and if we want to skip
mergejoin mark/restore then it must depend only on merge clauses.
To avoid adding more planning overhead than absolutely necessary,
the present patch errs in the conservative direction: there are cases
where inner_unique or skip_mark_restore processing could be used, but
it will not do so because it's not sure that the uniqueness proof
depended only on "safe" clauses.  This could be improved later.

Tom Lane 89deca582a Fix planner error (or assert trap) with nested set operations.
As reported by Sean Johnston in bug #14614, since 9.6 the planner can fail
due to trying to look up the referent of a Var with varno 0.  This happens
because we generate such Vars in generate_append_tlist, for lack of any
better way to describe the output of a SetOp node.  In typical situations
nothing really cares about that, but given nested set-operation queries
we will call estimate_num_groups on the output of the subquery, and that
wants to know what a Var actually refers to.  That logic used to look at
subquery->targetList, but in commit 3fc6e2d7f I'd switched it to look at
subroot->processed_tlist, ie the actual output of the subquery plan not the
parser's idea of the result.  It seemed like a good idea at the time :-(.
As a band-aid fix, change it back.

Really we ought to have an honest way of naming the outputs of SetOp steps,
which suggests that it'd be a good idea for the parser to emit an RTE
corresponding to each one.  But that's a task for another day, and it
certainly wouldn't yield a back-patchable fix.

Heikki Linnakangas 60f11b87a2 Use SASLprep to normalize passwords for SCRAM authentication.
An important step of SASLprep normalization, is to convert the string to
Unicode normalization form NFKC. Unicode normalization requires a fairly
large table of character decompositions, which is generated from data
published by the Unicode consortium. The script to generate the table is
put in src/common/unicode, as well test code for the normalization.
A pre-generated version of the tables is included in src/include/common,
so you don't need the code in src/common/unicode to build PostgreSQL, only
if you wish to modify the normalization tables.

The SASLprep implementation depends on the UTF-8 functions from
src/backend/utils/mb/wchar.c. So to use it, you must also compile and link
that. That doesn't change anything for the current users of these
functions, the backend and libpq, as they both already link with wchar.o.
It would be good to move those functions into a separate file in
src/commmon, but I'll leave that for another day.

No documentation changes included, because there is no details on the
SCRAM mechanism in the docs anyway. An overview on that in the protocol
specification would probably be good, even though SCRAM is documented in
detail in RFC5802. I'll write that as a separate patch. An important thing
to mention there is that we apply SASLprep even on invalid UTF-8 strings,
to support other encodings.

Tom Lane 3f902354b0 Clean up after insufficiently-researched optimization of tuple conversions.
tupconvert.c's functions formerly considered that an explicit tuple
conversion was necessary if the input and output tupdescs contained
different type OIDs.  The point of that was to make sure that a composite
datum resulting from the conversion would contain the destination rowtype
OID in its composite-datum header.  However, commit 3838074f8 entirely
misunderstood what that check was for, thinking that it had something to do
with presence or absence of an OID column within the tuple.  Removal of the
check broke the no-op conversion path in ExecEvalConvertRowtype, as
reported by Ashutosh Bapat.

It turns out that of the dozen or so call sites for tupconvert.c functions,
ExecEvalConvertRowtype is the only one that cares about the composite-datum
header fields in the output tuple.  In all the rest, we'd much rather avoid
an unnecessary conversion whenever the tuples are physically compatible.
Moreover, the comments in tupconvert.c only promise physical compatibility
not a metadata match.  So, let's accept the removal of the guarantee about
the output tuple's rowtype marking, recognizing that this is a API change
that could conceivably break third-party callers of tupconvert.c.  (So,
let's remember to mention it in the v10 release notes.)

However, commit 3838074f8 did have a bit of a point here, in that two
tuples mustn't be considered physically compatible if one has HEAP_HASOID
set and the other doesn't.  (Some of the callers of tupconvert.c might not
really care about that, but we can't assume it in general.)  The previous
check accidentally covered that issue, because no RECORD types ever have
OIDs, while if two tupdescs have the same named composite type OID then,
a fortiori, they have the same tdhasoid setting.  If we're removing the
type OID match check then we'd better include tdhasoid match as part of
the physical compatibility check.

Without that hack in tupconvert.c, we need ExecEvalConvertRowtype to take
responsibility for inserting the correct rowtype OID label whenever
tupconvert.c decides it need not do anything.  This is easily done with
heap_copy_tuple_as_datum, which will be considerably faster than a tuple
disassembly and reassembly anyway; so from a performance standpoint this
change is a win all around compared to what happened in earlier branches.
It just means a couple more lines of code in ExecEvalConvertRowtype.

Andres Freund fa117ee403 Allow avoiding tuple copy within tuplesort_gettupleslot().
Add a "copy" argument to make it optional to receive a copy of caller
tuple that is safe to use following a subsequent manipulating of
tuplesort's state.  This is a performance optimization.  Most existing
tuplesort_gettupleslot() callers are made to opt out of copying.
Existing callers that happen to rely on the validity of tuple memory
beyond subsequent manipulations of the tuplesort request their own
copy.

This brings tuplesort_gettupleslot() in line with
tuplestore_gettupleslot().  In the future, a "copy"
tuplesort_getdatum() argument may be added, that similarly allows
callers to opt out of receiving their own copy of tuple.

In passing, clarify assumptions that callers of other tuplesort fetch
routines may make about tuple memory validity, per gripe from Tom
Lane.

To fix that, use pq_sendcountedtext() for sending tuple attributes,

- CREATE TABLE / LIKE copies default but refers to same sequence
- cannot add/drop serialness with ALTER TABLE
- dropping default does not drop sequence
- need to grant separate privileges to sequence
- other slight weirdnesses because serial is some kind of special macro

Simon Riggs 6bad580d9e Avoid SnapshotResetXmin() during AtEOXact_Snapshot()
For normal commits and aborts we already reset PgXact->xmin,
so we can simply avoid running SnapshotResetXmin() twice.

During performance tests by Alexander Korotkov, diagnosis
by Andres Freund showed PgXact array as a bottleneck. After
manual analysis by me of the code paths that touch those
memory locations, I was able to identify extraneous code
in the main transaction commit path.

Avoiding touching highly contented shmem improves concurrent
performance slightly on all workloads, confirmed by tests
run by Ashutosh Sharma and Alexander Korotkov.

Tom Lane df1a699e5b Fix integer-overflow problems in interval comparison.
When using integer timestamps, the interval-comparison functions tried
to compute the overall magnitude of an interval as an int64 number of
microseconds.  As reported by Frazer McLean, this overflows for intervals
exceeding about 296000 years, which is bad since we nominally allow
intervals many times larger than that.  That results in wrong comparison
results, and possibly in corrupted btree indexes for columns containing
such large interval values.

To fix, compute the magnitude as int128 instead.  Although some compilers
have native support for int128 calculations, many don't, so create our
own support functions that can do 128-bit addition and multiplication
if the compiler support isn't there.  These support functions are designed
with an eye to allowing the int128 code paths in numeric.c to be rewritten
for use on all platforms, although this patch doesn't do that, or even
provide all the int128 primitives that will be needed for it.

Back-patch as far as 9.4.  Earlier releases did not guard against overflow
of interval values at all (commit 146604ec4 fixed that), so it seems not
very exciting to worry about overly-large intervals for them.

Before 9.6, we did not assume that unreferenced "static inline" functions
would not draw compiler warnings, so omit functions not directly referenced
by timestamp.c, the only present consumer of int128.h.  (We could have
omitted these functions in HEAD too, but since they were written and
debugged on the way to the present patch, and they look likely to be needed
by numeric.c, let's keep them in HEAD.)  I did not bother to try to prevent
such warnings in a --disable-integer-datetimes build, though.

Before 9.5, configure will never define HAVE_INT128, so the part of
int128.h that exploits a native int128 implementation is dead code in the
9.4 branch.  I didn't bother to remove it, thinking that keeping the file
looking similar in different branches is more useful.

In HEAD only, add a simple test harness for int128.h in src/tools/.

In back branches, this does not change the float-timestamps code path.
That's not subject to the same kind of overflow risk, since it computes
the interval magnitude as float8.  (No doubt, when this code was originally
written, overflow was disregarded for exactly that reason.)  There is a
precision hazard instead :-(, but we'll avert our eyes from that question,
since no complaints have been reported and that code's deprecated anyway.

Kevin Grittner 5ebeb579b9 Follow-on cleanup for the transition table patch.
Commit 59702716 added transition table support to PL/pgsql so that
SQL queries in trigger functions could access those transient
tables.  In order to provide the same level of support for PL/perl,
PL/python and PL/tcl, refactor the relevant code into a new
function SPI_register_trigger_data.  Call the new function in the
trigger handler of all four PLs, and document it as a public SPI
function so that authors of out-of-tree PLs can do the same.

Also get rid of a second QueryEnvironment object that was
maintained by PL/pgsql.  That was previously used to deal with
cursors, but the same approach wasn't appropriate for PLs that are
less tangled up with core code.  Instead, have SPI_cursor_open
install the connection's current QueryEnvironment, as already
happens for SPI_execute_plan.

While in the docs, remove the note that transition tables were only
supported in C and PL/pgSQL triggers, and correct some ommissions.

Robert Haas ea69a0dead Expand hash indexes more gradually.
Since hash indexes typically have very few overflow pages, adding a
new splitpoint essentially doubles the on-disk size of the index,
which can lead to large and abrupt increases in disk usage (and
perhaps long delays on occasion).  To mitigate this problem to some
degree, divide larger splitpoints into four equal phases.  This means
that, for example, instead of growing from 4GB to 8GB all at once, a
hash index will now grow from 4GB to 5GB to 6GB to 7GB to 8GB, which
is perhaps still not as smooth as we'd like but certainly an
improvement.

This changes the on-disk format of the metapage, so bump HASH_VERSION
from 2 to 3.  This will force a REINDEX of all existing hash indexes,
but that's probably a good idea anyway.  First, hash indexes from
pre-10 versions of PostgreSQL could easily be corrupted, and we don't
want to confuse corruption carried over from an older release with any
corruption caused despite the new write-ahead logging in v10.  Second,
it will let us remove some backward-compatibility code added by commit
293e24e507.

(For example, a test may allow RELOPT_OTHER_MEMBER_REL either because
it intends to allow child rels, or because it intends to allow simple
rels.)

Also, remove find_childrel_top_parent, which will not work for a

Tom Lane f833c847b8 Allow psql variable substitution to occur in backtick command strings.
Previously, text between backquotes in a psql metacommand's arguments
was always passed to the shell literally.  That considerably hobbles
the usefulness of the feature for scripting, so we'd foreseen for a long
time that we'd someday want to allow substitution of psql variables into
the shell command.  IMO the addition of \if metacommands has brought us to
that point, since \if can greatly benefit from some sort of client-side
expression evaluation capability, and psql itself is not going to grow any
such thing in time for v10.  Hence, this patch.  It allows :VARIABLE to be
replaced by the exact contents of the named variable, while :'VARIABLE'
is replaced by the variable's contents suitably quoted to become a single
shell-command argument.  (The quoting rules for that are different from
those for SQL literals, so this is a bit of an abuse of the :'VARIABLE'
notation, but I doubt anyone will be confused.)

As with other situations in psql, no substitution occurs if the word
following a colon is not a known variable name.  That limits the risk of
compatibility problems for existing psql scripts; but the risk isn't zero,
so this needs to be called out in the v10 release notes.

Alvaro Herrera 7526e10224 BRIN auto-summarization
Previously, only VACUUM would cause a page range to get initially
summarized by BRIN indexes, which for some use cases takes too much time
since the inserts occur.  To avoid the delay, have brininsert request a
summarization run for the previous range as soon as the first tuple is
inserted into the first page of the next range.  Autovacuum is in charge
of processing these requests, after doing all the regular vacuuming/
analyzing work on tables.

This doesn't impose any new tasks on autovacuum, because autovacuum was
already in charge of doing summarizations.  The only actual effect is to
change the timing, i.e. that it occurs earlier.  For this reason, we
don't go any great lengths to record these requests very robustly; if
they are lost because of a server crash or restart, they will happen at
a later time anyway.

Most of the new code here is in autovacuum, which can now be told about
"work items" to process.  This can be used for other things such as GIN
pending list cleaning, perhaps visibility map bit setting, both of which
are currently invoked during vacuum, but do not really depend on vacuum
taking place.

The requests are at the page range level, a granularity for which we did
not have SQL-level access; we only had index-level summarization
requests via brin_summarize_new_values().  It seems reasonable to add
SQL-level access to range-level summarization too, so add a function
brin_summarize_range() to do that.

Kevin Grittner 18ce3a4ab2 Add infrastructure to support EphemeralNamedRelation references.
A QueryEnvironment concept is added, which allows new types of
objects to be passed into queries from parsing on through
execution.  At this point, the only thing implemented is a
collection of EphemeralNamedRelation objects -- relations which
can be referenced by name in queries, but do not exist in the
catalogs.  The only type of ENR implemented is NamedTuplestore, but
provision is made to add more types fairly easily.

An ENR can carry its own TupleDesc or reference a relation in the
catalogs by relid.

Although these features can be used without SPI, convenience
functions are added to SPI so that ENRs can easily be used by code
run through SPI.

The initial use of all this is going to be transition tables in
AFTER triggers, but that will be added to each PL as a separate
commit.

An incidental effect of this patch is to produce a more informative
error message if an attempt is made to modify the contents of a CTE
from a referencing DML statement.  No tests previously covered that
possibility, so one is added.

Robert Haas 25dc142a49 Avoid GatherMerge crash when there are no workers.
It's unnecessary to return an actual slot when we have no tuple.
We can just return NULL, which avoids the risk of indexing into an

Robert Haas 7d8f6986b8 Fix parallel query so it doesn't spoil row estimates above Gather.
Commit 45be99f8cd removed GatherPath's
num_workers field, but this is entirely bogus.  Normally, a path's
parallel_workers flag is supposed to indicate the number of workers
that it wants, and should be 0 for a non-partial path.  In that
commit, I mistakenly thought that GatherPath could also use that field
to indicate the number of workers that it would try to start, but
that's disastrous, because then it can propagate up to higher nodes in
the plan tree, which will then get incorrect rowcounts because the
parallel_workers flag is involved in computing those values.  Repair
by putting the separate field back.

Tom Lane 64d4da511c For foreign keys, check REFERENCES privilege only on the referenced table.
We were requiring that the user have REFERENCES permission on both the
referenced and referencing tables --- but this doesn't seem to have any
support in the SQL standard, which says only that you need REFERENCES
permission on the referenced table.  And ALTER TABLE ADD FOREIGN KEY has
already checked that you own the referencing table, so the check could
only fail if a table owner has revoked his own REFERENCES permission.
Moreover, the symmetric interpretation of this permission is unintuitive
and confusing, as per complaint from Paul Jungwirth.  So let's drop the
referencing-side check.

In passing, do a bit of wordsmithing on the GRANT reference page so that
all the privilege types are described in similar fashion.

Robert Haas f05230752d Revert "Allow ON CONFLICT .. DO NOTHING on a partitioned table."
This reverts commit 8355a011a0, which
turns out to have been a misguided effort.  We can't really support
this in a partitioning hierarchy after all for exactly the reasons
stated in the documentation removed by that commit.  It's still
possible to use ON CONFLICT .. DO NOTHING (or for that matter ON
CONFLICT .. DO UPDATE) on individual partitions if desired, but
but to allow this on a partitioned table implies that we have some
way of evaluating uniqueness across the whole partitioning
hierarchy, which is false.

Shinoda Noriyoshi noticed that the old code was crashing (which we
could fix, though not in a nice way) and Amit Langote realized
that this was indicative of a fundamental problem with the commit

Robert Haas c94e6942ce Don't allocate storage for partitioned tables.
Also, don't allow setting reloptions on them, since that would have no
effect given the lack of storage.  The patch does this by introducing
a new reloption kind for which there are currently no reloptions -- we
might have some in the future -- so it adjusts parseRelOptions to
handle that case correctly.

Bumped catversion.  System catalogs that contained reloptions for
partitioned tables are no longer valid; plus, there are now fewer
physical files on disk, which is not technically a catalog change but
still a good reason to re-initdb.

Tom Lane e984ef5861 Support \if ... \elif ... \else ... \endif in psql scripting.
This patch adds nestable conditional blocks to psql.  The control
structure feature per se is complete, but the boolean expressions
understood by \if and \elif are pretty primitive; basically, after
variable substitution and backtick expansion, the result has to be
"true" or "false" or one of the other standard spellings of a boolean
value.  But that's enough for many purposes, since you can always
do the heavy lifting on the server side; and we can extend it later.

Along the way, pay down some of the technical debt that had built up
around psql/command.c:
* Refactor exec_command() into a function per command, instead of
being a 1500-line monstrosity.  This makes the file noticeably longer
because of repetitive function header/trailer overhead, but it seems
much more readable.
* Teach psql_get_variable() and psqlscanslash.l to suppress variable
substitution and backtick expansion on the basis of the conditional
stack state, thereby allowing removal of the OT_NO_EVAL kluge.
* Fix the no-doubt-once-expedient hack of sometimes silently substituting
mainloop.c's previous_buf for query_buf when calling HandleSlashCmds.
(It's a bit remarkable that commands like \r worked at all with that.)
Recall of a previous query is now done explicitly in the slash commands
where that should happen.

Tom Lane 2c4debbd0f Make new expression eval code reject references to dropped columns.
Formerly, a Var referencing an already-dropped column was allowed and would
always produce a NULL value.  However, that behavior was implemented in
slot_getattr which the new expression code doesn't use; thus there is now a
risk of returning theoretically-deleted data.  We had regression test cases
that purported to exercise this, but they failed to expose any problem,
apparently because plpgsql filters the dropped column and produces an
output tuple that has a NULL there already.

Ideally the DROP or ALTER attempt in these test cases would get rejected
due to dependency checks; but until that happens, let's modify the behavior
so that we fail the query during executor start.  This was already true for
the related case of a column having changed type underneath us, and there's
no obvious reason why we need to be laxer for dropped columns.

In passing, adjust the error messages in CheckVarSlotCompatibility to
include the composite type name.  In the cases shown in the regression
tests this is always just "record", but it should be more useful in
actual stale-plan cases, where the slot tupdesc would be a table's
tupdesc directly.

not being on search path.  We can add that later, but at least this form
is correct.)

Andrew Gierth b5635948ab Support hashed aggregation with grouping sets.
This extends the Aggregate node with two new features: HashAggregate
can now run multiple hashtables concurrently, and a new strategy
MixedAggregate populates hashtables while doing sorted grouping.

The planner will now attempt to save as many sorts as possible when
planning grouping sets queries, while not exceeding work_mem for the
estimated combined sizes of all hashtables used.  No SQL-level changes
are required.  There should be no user-visible impact other than the
new EXPLAIN output and possible changes to result ordering when ORDER
BY was not used (which affected a few regression tests).  The
enable_hashagg option is respected.

to a database (such as the logical replication launcher) weren't
shown.  Include them, so that we can see the associated wait state

people can filter them out easily using SQL if they wish.

Before this patch was written, there was discussion about whether we
should expose this information in a separate view, so as to avoid
contaminating pg_stat_activity with things people might not want to

choice, so that's what the patch does.

In commit b8d7f053c, we needed to fix ExecEvalWholeRowVar to not change

To fix, add another primitive to tuptoaster.c that does precisely what

existing functions into two pieces; but it looked like that might hurt
performance for the existing case, and the amount of code that could

a local variable and cast its address to a struct type that does have
alignment requirements.  On an alignment-picky machine this would lead
to bus errors.  To fix, declare the local variable honestly, and then
cast its address to char * for use in the I/O calls.

Andres Freund b8d7f053c5 Faster expression evaluation and targetlist projection.
This replaces the old, recursive tree-walk based evaluation, with
non-recursive, opcode dispatch based, expression evaluation.
Projection is now implemented as part of expression evaluation.

This both leads to significant performance improvements, and makes
future just-in-time compilation of expressions easier.

The speed gains primarily come from:
- non-recursive implementation reduces stack usage / overhead
- simple sub-expressions are implemented with a single jump, without
  function calls
- sharing some state between different sub-expressions
- reduced amount of indirect/hard to predict memory accesses by laying
  out operation metadata sequentially; including the avoidance of
  nearly all of the previously used linked lists
- more code has been moved to expression initialization, avoiding
  constant re-checks at evaluation time

Future just-in-time compilation (JIT) has become easier, as
demonstrated by released patches intended to be merged in a later
release, for primarily two reasons: Firstly, due to a stricter split
between expression initialization and evaluation, less code has to be
handled by the JIT. Secondly, due to the non-recursive nature of the
generated "instructions", less performance-critical code-paths can
easily be shared between interpreted and compiled evaluation.

The new framework allows for significant future optimizations. E.g.:
- basic infrastructure for to later reduce the per executor-startup
  overhead of expression evaluation, by caching state in prepared
  statements.  That'd be helpful in OLTPish scenarios where
  initialization overhead is measurable.
- optimizing the generated "code". A number of proposals for potential
  work has already been made.
- optimizing the interpreter. Similarly a number of proposals have
  been made here too.

The move of logic into the expression initialization step leads to some
backward-incompatible changes:
- Function permission checks are now done during expression
  initialization, whereas previously they were done during
  execution. In edge cases this can lead to errors being raised that
  previously wouldn't have been, e.g. a NULL array being coerced to a
  different array type previously didn't perform checks.
- The set of domain constraints to be checked, is now evaluated once
  during expression initialization, previously it was re-built
  every time a domain check was evaluated. For normal queries this
  doesn't change much, but e.g. for plpgsql functions, which caches
  ExprStates, the old set could stick around longer.  The behavior
  around might still change.

Robert Haas 61c2e1a95f Improve access to parallel query from procedural languages.
In SQL, the ability to use parallel query was previous contingent on
fcache->readonly_func, which is only set for non-volatile functions;
but the volatility of a function has no bearing on whether queries
inside it can use parallelism.  Remove that condition.

SPI_execute and SPI_execute_with_args always run the plan just once,
though not necessarily to completion.  Given the changes in commit
691b8d5928, it's sensible to pass
CURSOR_OPT_PARALLEL_OK here, so do that.  This improves access to
parallelism for any caller that uses these functions to execute
queries.  Such callers include plperl, plpython, pltcl, and plpgsql,
though it's not the case that they all use these functions
exclusively.

In plpgsql, allow parallel query for plain SELECT queries (as
opposed to PERFORM, which already worked) and for plain expressions
(which probably won't go through the executor at all, because they
will likely be simple expressions, but if they do then this helps).

Alvaro Herrera 7b504eb282 Implement multivariate n-distinct coefficients
Add support for explicitly declared statistic objects (CREATE
STATISTICS), allowing collection of statistics on more complex
combinations that individual table columns.  Companion commands DROP
STATISTICS and ALTER STATISTICS ... OWNER TO / SET SCHEMA / RENAME are
added too.  All this DDL has been designed so that more statistic types
can be added later on, such as multivariate most-common-values and
multivariate histograms between columns of a single table, leaving room
for permitting columns on multiple tables, too, as well as expressions.

This commit only adds support for collection of n-distinct coefficient
on user-specified sets of columns in a single table.  This is useful to
estimate number of distinct groups in GROUP BY and DISTINCT clauses;
estimation errors there can cause over-allocation of memory in hashed
aggregates, for instance, so it's a worthwhile problem to solve.  A new
special pseudo-type pg_ndistinct is used.

(num-distinct estimation was deemed sufficiently useful by itself that
this is worthwhile even if no further statistic types are added
immediately; so much so that another version of essentially the same
functionality was submitted by Kyotaro Horiguchi:

Commit 7aea8e4f2d allowed a parallel
plan to be generated when for a RETURN QUERY or RETURN QUERY EXECUTE
statement in a PL/pgsql block, but that's a bad idea because plplgsql
asks the executor for 50 rows at a time.  That means that we'll always
be running serially a plan that was intended for parallel execution,
which is not a good idea.  Fix by not requesting a parallel plan from
the outset.

Per discussion, back-patch to 9.6.  There is a slight risk that, due
to optimizer error, somebody could have a case where the parallel plan
executed serially is actually faster than the supposedly-best serial
plan, but the consensus seems to be that that's not sufficient
justification for leaving 9.6 unpatched.

Heikki Linnakangas 7ac955b347 Allow SCRAM authentication, when pg_hba.conf says 'md5'.
If a user has a SCRAM verifier in pg_authid.rolpassword, there's no reason
we cannot attempt to perform SCRAM authentication instead of MD5. The worst
that can happen is that the client doesn't support SCRAM, and the
authentication will fail. But previously, it would fail for sure, because
we would not even try. SCRAM is strictly more secure than MD5, so there's
no harm in trying it. This allows for a more graceful transition from MD5
passwords to SCRAM, as user passwords can be changed to SCRAM verifiers
incrementally, without changing pg_hba.conf.

Refactor the code in auth.c to support that better. Notably, we now have to
look up the user's pg_authid entry before sending the password challenge,
also when performing MD5 authentication. Also simplify the concept of a
"doomed" authentication. Previously, if a user had a password, but it had
expired, we still performed SCRAM authentication (but always returned error
at the end) using the salt and iteration count from the expired password.
Now we construct a fake salt, like we do when the user doesn't have a
password or doesn't exist at all. That simplifies get_role_password(), and
we can don't need to distinguish the  "user has expired password", and
"user does not exist" cases in auth.c.

On second thoughts, also rename uaSASL to uaSCRAM. It refers to the
mechanism specified in pg_hba.conf, and while we use SASL for SCRAM
authentication at the protocol level, the mechanism should be called SCRAM,
not SASL. As a comparison, we have uaLDAP, even though it looks like the
plain 'password' authentication at the protocol level.

Peter Eisentraut eccfef81e1 ICU support
Add a column collprovider to pg_collation that determines which library
provides the collation data.  The existing choices are default and libc,
and this adds an icu choice, which uses the ICU4C library.

The pg_locale_t type is changed to a union that contains the
provider-specific locale handles.  Users of locale information are
changed to look into that struct for the appropriate handle to use.

Also add a collversion column that records the version of the collation
when it is created, and check at run time whether it is still the same.
This detects potentially incompatible library upgrades that can corrupt
indexes and other structures.  This is currently only supported by
ICU-provided collations.

initdb initializes the default collation set as before from the `locale
-a` output but also adds all available ICU locales with a "-x-icu"
appended.

Currently, ICU-provided collations can only be explicitly named
collations.  The global database locales are still always libc-provided.

ICU support is enabled by configure --with-icu.

Robert Haas 691b8d5928 Allow for parallel execution whenever ExecutorRun() is done only once.
Previously, it was unsafe to execute a plan in parallel if
ExecutorRun() might be called with a non-zero row count.  However,
it's quite easy to fix things up so that we can support that case,
provided that it is known that we will never call ExecutorRun() a
second time for the same QueryDesc.  Add infrastructure to signal
this, and cross-checks to make sure that a caller who claims this is
true doesn't later reneg.

While that pattern never happens with queries received directly from a
client -- there's no way to know whether multiple Execute messages
will be sent unless the first one requests all the rows -- it's pretty
common for queries originating from procedural languages, which often
limit the result to a single tuple or to a user-specified number of
tuples.

This commit doesn't actually enable parallelism in any additional
cases, because currently none of the places that would be able to
benefit from this infrastructure pass CURSOR_OPT_PARALLEL_OK in the
first place, but it makes it much more palatable to pass
CURSOR_OPT_PARALLEL_OK in places where we currently don't, because it
eliminates some cases where we'd end up having to run the parallel
plan serially.

Patch by me, based on some ideas from Rafia Sabih and corrected by
Rafia Sabih based on feedback from Dilip Kumar and myself.

Teodor Sigaev 218f51584d Reduce page locking in GIN vacuum
GIN vacuum during cleaning posting tree can lock this whole tree for a long
time with by holding LockBufferForCleanup() on root. Patch changes it with
two ways: first, cleanup lock will be taken only if there is an empty page
(which should be deleted) and, second, it tries to lock only subtree, not the
whole posting tree.

Simon Riggs 6912acc04f Replication lag tracking for walsenders
Adds write_lag, flush_lag and replay_lag cols to pg_stat_replication.

Implements a lag tracker module that reports the lag times based upon
measurements of the time taken for recent WAL to be written, flushed and
replayed and for the sender to hear about it. These times
represent the commit lag that was (or would have been) introduced by each
synchronous commit level, if the remote server was configured as a
synchronous standby.  For an asynchronous standby, the replay_lag column
approximates the delay before recent transactions became visible to queries.
If the standby server has entirely caught up with the sending server and
there is no more WAL activity, the most recently measured lag times will
continue to be displayed for a short time and then show NULL.

Physical replication lag tracking is automatic. Logical replication tracking
is possible but is the responsibility of the logical decoding plugin.
Tracking is a private module operating within each walsender individually,
with values reported to shared memory. Module not used outside of walsender.

Design and code is good enough now to commit - kudos to the author.
In many ways a difficult topic, with important and subtle behaviour so this
shoudl be expected to generate discussion and multiple open items: Test now!
