Tom Lane 869aa40a27 Fix assorted portability issues in new pgbench TAP tests.
* Our own version of getopt_long doesn't support abbreviation of
long options.

* It doesn't do automatic rearrangement of non-option arguments to the end,
either.

* Test was way too optimistic about the platform independence of
NaN and Infinity outputs.  I rather imagine we might have to lose
those tests altogether, but for the moment just allow case variation
and fully spelled out Infinity.

Tom Lane 3ca930fc39 Improve performance of get_actual_variable_range with recently-dead tuples.
In commit fccebe421, we hacked get_actual_variable_range() to scan the
index with SnapshotDirty, so that if there are many uncommitted tuples
at the end of the index range, it wouldn't laboriously scan through all
of them looking for a live value to return.  However, that didn't fix it
for the case of many recently-dead tuples at the end of the index;
SnapshotDirty recognizes those as committed dead and so we're back to
the same problem.

To improve the situation, invent a "SnapshotNonVacuumable" snapshot type
and use that instead.  The reason this helps is that, if the snapshot
rejects a given index entry, we know that the indexscan will mark that
index entry as killed.  This means the next get_actual_variable_range()
scan will proceed past that entry without visiting the heap, making the
scan a lot faster.  We may end up accepting a recently-dead tuple as
being the estimated extremal value, but that doesn't seem much worse than
the compromise we made before to accept not-yet-committed extremal values.

The cost of the scan is still proportional to the number of dead index
entries at the end of the range, so in the interval after a mass delete
but before VACUUM's cleaned up the mess, it's still possible for
get_actual_variable_range() to take a noticeable amount of time, if you've
got enough such dead entries.  But the constant factor is much much better
than before, since all we need to do with each index entry is test its
"killed" bit.

We chose to back-patch commit fccebe421 at the time, but I'm hesitant to
do so here, because this form of the problem seems to affect many fewer
people.  Also, even when it happens, it's less bad than the case fixed
by commit fccebe421 because we don't get the contention effects from
expensive TransactionIdIsInProgress tests.

Peter Eisentraut 1356f78ea9 Reduce excessive dereferencing of function pointers
It is equivalent in ANSI C to write (*funcptr) () and funcptr().  These
two styles have been applied inconsistently.  After discussion, we'll
use the more verbose style for plain function pointer variables, to make
it clear that it's a variable, and the shorter style when the function
pointer is in a struct (s.func() or s->func()), because then it's clear
that it's not a plain function name, and otherwise the excessive
punctuation makes some of those invocations hard to read.

Tom Lane 6eb52da394 Fix handling of savepoint commands within multi-statement Query strings.
Issuing a savepoint-related command in a Query message that contains
multiple SQL statements led to a FATAL exit with a complaint about
"unexpected state STARTED".  This is a shortcoming of commit 4f896dac1,
which attempted to prevent such misbehaviors in multi-statement strings;
its quick hack of marking the individual statements as "not top-level"
does the wrong thing in this case, and isn't a very accurate description
of the situation anyway.

To fix, let's introduce into xact.c an explicit model of what happens for
multi-statement Query strings.  This is an "implicit transaction block
in progress" state, which for many purposes works like the normal
TBLOCK_INPROGRESS state --- in particular, IsTransactionBlock returns true,
causing the desired result that PreventTransactionChain will throw error.
But in case of error abort it works like TBLOCK_STARTED, allowing the
transaction to be cancelled without need for an explicit ROLLBACK command.

Commit 4f896dac1 is reverted in toto, so that we go back to treating the
individual statements as "top level".  We could have left it as-is, but
this allows sharpening the error message for PreventTransactionChain
calls inside functions.

Except for getting a normal error instead of a FATAL exit for savepoint
commands, this patch should result in no user-visible behavioral change
(other than that one error message rewording).  There are some things
we might want to do in the line of changing the appearance or wording of
error and warning messages around this behavior, which would be much
simpler to do now that it's an explicitly modeled state.  But I haven't
done them here.

Although this fixes a long-standing bug, no backpatch.  The consequences
of the bug don't seem severe enough to justify the risk that this commit
itself creates some new issue.

Patch by me, but it owes something to previous investigation by
Takayuki Tsunakawa, who also reported the bug in the first place.
Also thanks to Michael Paquier for reviewing.

Tom Lane bfea92563c Further marginal hacking on generic atomic ops.
In the generic atomic ops that rely on a loop around a CAS primitive,
there's no need to force the initial read of the "old" value to be atomic.
In the typically-rare case that we get a torn value, that simply means
that the first CAS attempt will fail; but it will update "old" to the
atomically-read value, so the next attempt has a chance of succeeding.
It was already being done that way in pg_atomic_exchange_u64_impl(),
but let's duplicate the approach in the rest.

(Given the current coding of the pg_atomic_read functions, this change
is a no-op anyway on popular platforms; it only makes a difference where
pg_atomic_read_u64_impl() is implemented as a CAS.)

In passing, also remove unnecessary take-a-pointer-and-dereference-it
coding in the pg_atomic_read functions.  That seems to have been based
on a misunderstanding of what the C standard requires.  What actually
matters is that the pointer be declared as pointing to volatile, which
it is.

I don't believe this will change the assembly code at all on x86
platforms (even ignoring the likelihood that these implementations
get overridden by others); but it may help on less-mainstream CPUs.

Tom Lane e09db94c0a Use more of gcc's __sync_fetch_and_xxx builtin functions for atomic ops.
In addition to __sync_fetch_and_add, gcc offers __sync_fetch_and_sub,
__sync_fetch_and_and, and __sync_fetch_and_or, which correspond directly
to primitive atomic ops that we want.  Testing shows that in some cases
they generate better code than our generic implementations, so use them.

We've assumed that configure's test for __sync_val_compare_and_swap is
sufficient to allow assuming that __sync_fetch_and_add is available, so
make the same assumption for these functions.  Should that prove to be
wrong, we can add more configure tests.

Tom Lane e530be9685 Remove duplicate reads from the inner loops in generic atomic ops.
The pg_atomic_compare_exchange_xxx functions are defined to update
*expected to whatever they read from the target variable.  Therefore,
there's no need to do additional explicit reads after we've initialized
the "old" variable.  The actual benefit of this is somewhat debatable,
but it seems fairly unlikely to hurt anything, especially since we
will override the generic implementations in most performance-sensitive
cases.

We'd dealt with that in several inconsistent ways over the years,
including letting the lines run over 80 characters, breaking descriptions
into multiple lines, or shoving the description onto a separate line.
But it's been a long time since the output could realistically fit onto

pager to deal with the vertical distance, and split each entry into two
(or more) lines, in the format

  variable-name
    variable description goes here

Each variable name + description remains a single translatable string,
in hopes of reducing translator confusion; we're just changing the
embedded whitespace.

descriptions while at it.

Tom Lane 0b707d6ea7 Be more careful about newline-chomping in pgbench.
process_backslash_command would drop the last character of the input
command on the assumption that it was a newline.  Given a non newline
terminated input file, this could result in dropping the last character
of the command.  Fix that by doing an actual test that we're removing
a newline.

While at it, allow for Windows newlines (\r\n), and suppress multiple
newlines if any.  I do not think either of those cases really occur,
since (a) we read script files in text mode and (b) the lexer stops
when it hits a newline.  But it's cheap enough and it provides a
stronger guarantee about what the result string looks like.

This is just cosmetic, I think, since the possibly-overly-chomped
line was only used for display not for further processing.  So
it doesn't seem necessary to back-patch.

Tom Lane c23bb6badf Fix some subtle problems in pgbench transaction stats counting.
With --latency-limit, transactions might get skipped even beyond the
transaction count limit specified by -t, throwing off the expected
number of transactions and thus the denominator for later stats.
Be sure to stop skipping transactions once -t is reached.

Also, include skipped transactions in the "cnt" fields; this requires
discounting them again in a couple of places, but most places are
better off with this definition.  In particular this is needed to
get correct overall stats for the combination of -R/-L/-t options.
Merge some more processing into processXactStats() to simplify this.

In passing, add a check that --progress-timestamp is specified only
when --progress is.

We might consider back-patching this, but given that it only matters

This probably doesn't save anything meaningful in terms of
performance, but making the code simpler is a good idea anyway.

Code by Beena Emerson, extracted from a larger patch by Jeevan
Ladhe, slightly adjusted by me.

Tom Lane 9d6b160d7d Make [U]INT64CONST safe for use in #if conditions.
Instead of using a cast to force the constant to be the right width,
assume we can plaster on an L, UL, LL, or ULL suffix as appropriate.
The old approach to this is very hoary, dating from before we were
willing to require compilers to have working int64 types.

This fix makes the PG_INT64_MIN, PG_INT64_MAX, and PG_UINT64_MAX
constants safe to use in preprocessor conditions, where a cast
doesn't work.  Other symbolic constants that might be defined using
[U]INT64CONST are likewise safer than before.

Also fix the SIZE_MAX macro to be similarly safe, if we are forced
to provide a definition for that.  The test added in commit 2e70d6b5e
happens to do what we want even with the hack "(size_t) -1" definition,
but we could easily get burnt on other tests in future.

Back-patch to all supported branches, like the previous commits.

Peter Eisentraut a057220353 doc: Remove mentions of server-side CRL and CA file names
Commit a445cb92ef removed the default file
names for server-side CRL and CA files, but left them in the docs with a
small note.  This removes the note and the previous default names to
clarify, as well as changes mentions of the file names to make it
clearer that they are configurable.

Tom Lane b79d69b087 Ensure SIZE_MAX can be used throughout our code.
Pre-C99 platforms may lack <stdint.h> and thereby SIZE_MAX.  We have
a couple of places using the hack "(size_t) -1" as a fallback, but
it wasn't universally available; which means the code added in commit
2e70d6b5e fails to compile everywhere.  Move that hack to c.h so that
we can rely on having SIZE_MAX everywhere.

Per discussion, it'd be a good idea to make the macro's value safe
for use in #if-tests, but that will take a bit more work.  This is
just a quick expedient to get the buildfarm green again.

Back-patch to all supported branches, like the previous commit.

Robert Haas baaf272ac9 Use group updates when setting transaction status in clog.
Commit 0e141c0fbb introduced a mechanism
to reduce contention on ProcArrayLock by having a single process clear
XIDs in the procArray on behalf of multiple processes, reducing the
need to hand the lock around.  A previous attempt to introduce a similar
mechanism for CLogControlLock in ccce90b398
crashed and burned, but the design problem which resulted in those
failures is believed to have been corrected in this version.

Amit Kapila, with some cosmetic changes by me.  See the previous commit
message for additional credits.

Alvaro Herrera 89c59b742a Fix two-phase commit test for recovery mode
The original code had a race condition because it never ensured the
standby was caught up before proceeding; add a wait similar to every
other place that does this.
