Robert Haas 6f97457e0d Add progress reporting for CLUSTER and VACUUM FULL.
This uses the same progress reporting infrastructure added in commit
c16dc1aca5 and extends it to these
additional cases.  We lack the ability to track the internal progress
of sorts and index builds so the information reported is
coarse-grained for some parts of the operation, but it still seems
like a significant improvement over having nothing at all.

Thomas Munro c6c9474aaf Use condition variables to wait for checkpoints.
Previously we used a polling/sleeping loop to wait for checkpoints
to begin and end, which leads to up to a couple hundred milliseconds
of needless thumb-twiddling.  Use condition variables instead.

Andres Freund a9c35cf85c Change function call information to be variable length.
Before this change FunctionCallInfoData, the struct arguments etc for
V1 function calls are stored in, always had space for
FUNC_MAX_ARGS/100 arguments, storing datums and their nullness in two
arrays.  For nearly every function call 100 arguments is far more than
needed, therefore wasting memory. Arg and argnull being two separate
arrays also guarantees that to access a single argument, two
cachelines have to be touched.

Change the layout so there's a single variable-length array with pairs
of value / isnull. That drastically reduces memory consumption for
most function calls (on x86-64 a two argument function now uses
64bytes, previously 936 bytes), and makes it very likely that argument
value and its nullness are on the same cacheline.

Arguments are stored in a new NullableDatum struct, which, due to
padding, needs more memory per argument than before. But as usually
far fewer arguments are stored, and individual arguments are cheaper
to access, that's still a clear win.  It's likely that there's other
places where conversion to NullableDatum arrays would make sense,
e.g. TupleTableSlots, but that's for another commit.

Because the function call information is now variable-length
allocations have to take the number of arguments into account. For
heap allocations that can be done with SizeForFunctionCallInfoData(),
for on-stack allocations there's a new LOCAL_FCINFO(name, nargs) macro
that helps to allocate an appropriately sized and aligned variable.

Some places with stack allocation function call information don't know
the number of arguments at compile time, and currently variably sized
stack allocations aren't allowed in postgres. Therefore allow for
FUNC_MAX_ARGS space in these cases. They're not that common, so for
now that seems acceptable.

Because of the need to allocate FunctionCallInfo of the appropriate
size, older extensions may need to update their code. To avoid subtle
breakages, the FunctionCallInfoData struct has been renamed to
FunctionCallInfoBaseData. Most code only references FunctionCallInfo,
so that shouldn't cause much collateral damage.

This change is also a prerequisite for more efficient expression JIT
compilation (by allocating the function call information on the stack,
allowing LLVM to optimize it away); previously the size of the call
information caused problems inside LLVM's optimizer.

Magnus Hagander a228cc13ae Revert "Allow on-line enabling and disabling of data checksums"
This reverts the backend sides of commit 1fde38beaa.
I have, at least for now, left the pg_verify_checksums tool in place, as
this tool can be very valuable without the rest of the patch as well,
and since it's a read-only tool that only runs when the cluster is down
it should be a lot safer.

Magnus Hagander 1fde38beaa Allow on-line enabling and disabling of data checksums
This makes it possible to turn checksums on in a live cluster, without
the previous need for dump/reload or logical replication (and to turn it
off).

Enabling checkusm starts a background process in the form of a
launcher/worker combination that goes through the entire database and
recalculates checksums on each and every page. Only when all pages have
been checksummed are they fully enabled in the cluster. Any failure of
the process will revert to checksums off and the process has to be
started.

This adds a new WAL record that indicates the state of checksums, so
the process works across replicated clusters.

Robert Haas 9da0cc3528 Support parallel btree index builds.
To make this work, tuplesort.c and logtape.c must also support
parallelism, so this patch adds that infrastructure and then applies
it to the particular case of parallel btree index builds.  Testing
to date shows that this can often be 2-3x faster than a serial
index build.

The model for deciding how many workers to use is fairly primitive
at present, but it's better than not having the feature.  We can
refine it as we get more experience.

Andres Freund 1804284042 Add parallel-aware hash joins.
Introduce parallel-aware hash joins that appear in EXPLAIN plans as Parallel
Hash Join with Parallel Hash.  While hash joins could already appear in
parallel queries, they were previously always parallel-oblivious and had a
partial subplan only on the outer side, meaning that the work of the inner
subplan was duplicated in every worker.

After this commit, the planner will consider using a partial subplan on the
inner side too, using the Parallel Hash node to divide the work over the
available CPU cores and combine its results in shared memory.  If the join
needs to be split into multiple batches in order to respect work_mem, then
workers process different batches as much as possible and then work together
on the remaining batches.

The advantages of a parallel-aware hash join over a parallel-oblivious hash
join used in a parallel query are that it:

 * avoids wasting memory on duplicated hash tables
 * avoids wasting disk space on duplicated batch files
 * divides the work of building the hash table over the CPUs

One disadvantage is that there is some communication between the participating
CPUs which might outweigh the benefits of parallelism in the case of small
hash tables.  This is avoided by the planner's existing reluctance to supply
partial plans for small scans, but it may be necessary to estimate
synchronization costs in future if that situation changes.  Another is that
outer batch 0 must be written to disk if multiple batches are required.

A potential future advantage of parallel-aware hash joins is that right and
full outer joins could be supported, since there is a single set of matched
bits for each hashtable, but that is not yet implemented.

A new GUC enable_parallel_hash is defined to control the feature, defaulting
to on.

Previously multi-byte aware truncation was done on every
pgstat_report_activity() call - proving to be a bottleneck for

Instead move the truncation to the read side, which commonly is
executed far less frequently. That's possible because all server
encodings allow to determine the length of a multi-byte string from
the first byte.

Alvaro Herrera b2c95a3798 Fix replication origin-related race conditions
Similar to what was fixed in commit 9915de6c1c for replication slots,
but this time it's related to replication origins: DROP SUBSCRIPTION
attempts to drop the replication origin, but that fails if the
replication worker process hasn't yet marked it unused.  This causes
failures in the buildfarm:
ERROR:  could not drop replication origin with OID 1, in use by PID 34069

Like the aforementioned commit, fix by having the process running DROP
SUBSCRIPTION sleep until the worker marks the the replication origin
struct as free.  This uses a condition variable on each replication
origin shmem state struct, so that the session trying to drop can sleep
and expect to be awakened by the process keeping the origin open.

Also fix a SGML markup in the previous commit.

Tom Lane c7b8998ebb Phase 2 of pgindent updates.
Change pg_bsd_indent to follow upstream rules for placement of comments
to the right of code, and remove pgindent hack that caused comments
following #endif to not obey the general rule.

Commit e3860ffa4d wasn't actually using
the published version of pg_bsd_indent, but a hacked-up version that
tried to minimize the amount of movement of comments to the right of
code.  The situation of interest is where such a comment has to be
moved to the right of its default placement at column 33 because there's
code there.  BSD indent has always moved right in units of tab stops
in such cases --- but in the previous incarnation, indent was working
in 8-space tab stops, while now it knows we use 4-space tabs.  So the
net result is that in about half the cases, such comments are placed
one tab stop left of before.  This is better all around: it leaves
more room on the line for comment text, and it means that in such
cases the comment uniformly starts at the next 4-space tab stop after
the code, rather than sometimes one and sometimes two tabs after.

Also, ensure that comments following #endif are indented the same
as comments following other preprocessor commands such as #else.
That inconsistency turns out to have been self-inflicted damage
from a poorly-thought-through post-indent "fixup" in pgindent.

This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent
changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

Tom Lane e3860ffa4d Initial pgindent run with pg_bsd_indent version 2.0.
The new indent version includes numerous fixes thanks to Piotr Stefaniak.
The main changes visible in this commit are:

* Nicer formatting of function-pointer declarations.
* No longer unexpectedly removes spaces in expressions using casts,
  sizeof, or offsetof.
* No longer wants to add a space in "struct structname *varname", as
  well as some similar cases for const- or volatile-qualified pointers.
* Declarations using PG_USED_FOR_ASSERTS_ONLY are formatted more nicely.
* Fixes bug where comments following declarations were sometimes placed
  with no space separating them from the code.
* Fixes some odd decisions for comments following case labels.
* Fixes some cases where comments following code were indented to less
  than the expected column 33.

On the less good side, it now tends to put more whitespace around typedef
names that are not listed in typedefs.list.  This might encourage us to
put more effort into typedef name collection; it's not really a bug in
indent itself.

There are more changes coming after this round, having to do with comment
indentation and alignment of lines appearing within parentheses.  I wanted
to limit the size of the diffs to something that could be reviewed without
one's eyes completely glazing over, so it seemed better to split up the
changes as much as practical.

Tom Lane 17f8ffa1e3 Fix REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW to report activity to the stats collector.
The non-concurrent code path for REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW failed to
report its updates to the stats collector.  This is bad since it means
auto-analyze doesn't know there's any work to be done.  Adjust it to
report the refresh as a table truncate followed by insertion of an
appropriate number of rows.

Since a matview could contain more than INT_MAX rows, change the
signature of pgstat_count_heap_insert() to accept an int64 rowcount.
(The accumulator it's adding into is already int64, but existing
callers could not insert more than a small number of rows at once,
so the argument had been declared just "int n".)

This is surely a bug fix, but changing pgstat_count_heap_insert()'s API
seems too risky for the back branches.  Given the lack of previous
complaints, I'm not sure it's a big enough problem to justify a kluge
solution that would avoid that.  So, no back-patch, at least for now.

Robert Haas 3761fe3c20 Simplify LWLock tranche machinery by removing array_base/array_stride.
array_base and array_stride were added so that we could identify the
offset of an LWLock within a tranche, but this facility is only very
marginally used apart from the main tranche.  So, give every lock in
the main tranche its own tranche ID and get rid of array_base,
array_stride, and all that's attached.  For debugging facilities
(Trace_lwlocks and LWLOCK_STATS) print the pointer address of the
LWLock using %p instead of the offset.  This is arguably more useful,
and certainly a lot cheaper.  Drop the offset-within-tranche from
the information reported to dtrace and from one can't-happen message
inside lwlock.c.

The main user-visible impact of this change is that pg_stat_activity
will now report all waits for LWLocks as "LWLock" rather than
reporting some as "LWLockTranche" and others as "LWLockNamed".

The main motivation for this change is that the need to specify an
array_base and an array_stride is awkward for parallel query.  There
is only a very limited supply of tranche IDs so we can't just keep
allocating new ones, and if we try to use the same tranche IDs every
time then we run into trouble when multiple parallel contexts are
use simultaneously.  So if we didn't get rid of this mechanism we'd
have to make it even more complicated.  By simplifying it in this
way, we instead reduce the size of the generated code for lwlock.c
by about 5%.

Peter Eisentraut 597a87ccc9 Use latch instead of select() in walreceiver
Replace use of poll()/select() by WaitLatchOrSocket(), which is more
portable and flexible.

Also change walreceiver to use its procLatch instead of a custom latch.

Robert Haas e343dfa42b Remove barrier.h
A new thing also called a "barrier" is proposed, but whether we decide
to take that patch or not, this file seems to have outlived its
usefulness.

Robert Haas d2ce38e204 Rename WAIT_* constants to PG_WAIT_*.
Windows apparently has a constant named WAIT_TIMEOUT, and some of these
other names are pretty generic, too.  Insert "PG_" at the front of each
name in order to disambiguate.

Robert Haas 23843dcb60 Remove trailing commas from enums.
Buildfarm member mylodon doesn't like them.  Actually, I don't like
them either, but I failed to notice these before pushing commit
6f3bd98ebf.

Robert Haas 6f3bd98ebf Extend framework from commit 53be0b1ad to report latch waits.
WaitLatch, WaitLatchOrSocket, and WaitEventSetWait now taken an
additional wait_event_info parameter; legal values are defined in
pgstat.h.  This makes it possible to uniquely identify every point in
the core code where we are waiting for a latch; extensions can pass
WAIT_EXTENSION.

Because latches were the major wait primitive not previously covered
by this patch, it is now possible to see information in
pg_stat_activity on a large number of important wait events not
previously addressed, such as ClientRead, ClientWrite, and SyncRep.

Unfortunately, many of the wait events added by this patch will fail
to appear in pg_stat_activity because they're only used in background
processes which don't currently appear in pg_stat_activity.  We should
fix this either by creating a separate view for such information, or
else by deciding to include them in pg_stat_activity after all.

Tom Lane f64340e743 Don't reset changes_since_analyze after a selective-columns ANALYZE.
If we ANALYZE only selected columns of a table, we should not postpone
auto-analyze because of that; other columns may well still need stats
updates.  As committed, the counter is left alone if a column list is
given, whether or not it includes all analyzable columns of the table.
Per complaint from Tomasz Ostrowski.

It's been like this a long time, so back-patch to all supported branches.

Tom Lane 22b27b4c9e Avoid useless closely-spaced writes of statistics files.
The original intent in the stats collector was that we should not write out
stats data oftener than every PGSTAT_STAT_INTERVAL msec.  Backends will not
make requests at all if they see the existing data is newer than that, and
the stats collector is supposed to disregard requests having a cutoff_time
older than its most recently written data, so that close-together requests
don't result in multiple writes.  But the latter part of that got broken
in commit 187492b6c2, so that if two backends concurrently decide
the existing stats are too old, the collector would write the data twice.
(In principle the collector's logic would still merge requests as long as
the second one arrives before we've actually written data ... but since
the message collection loop would write data immediately after processing
a single inquiry message, that never happened in practice, and in any case
the window in which it might work would be much shorter than
PGSTAT_STAT_INTERVAL.)

To fix, improve pgstat_recv_inquiry so that it checks whether the cutoff
time is too old, and doesn't add a request to the queue if so.  This means
that we do not need DBWriteRequest.request_time, because the decision is
taken before making a queue entry.  And that means that we don't really
need the DBWriteRequest data structure at all; an OID list of database
OIDs will serve and allow removal of some rather verbose and crufty code.

In passing, improve the comments in this area, which have been rather
neglected.  Also change backend_read_statsfile so that it's not silently
relying on MyDatabaseId to have some particular value in the autovacuum
launcher process.  It accidentally worked as desired because MyDatabaseId
is zero in that process; but that does not seem like a dependency we want,
especially with no documentation about it.

Although this patch is mine, it turns out I'd rediscovered a known bug,
for which Tomas Vondra had already submitted a patch that's functionally
equivalent to the non-cosmetic aspects of this patch.  Thanks to Tomas
for reviewing this version.

Back-patch to 9.3 where the bug was introduced.

Robert Haas c16dc1aca5 Add simple VACUUM progress reporting.
There's a lot more that could be done here yet - in particular, this
reports only very coarse-grained information about the index vacuuming
phase - but even as it stands, the new pg_stat_progress_vacuum can
tell you quite a bit about what a long-running vacuum is actually
doing.

Robert Haas 53be0b1add Provide much better wait information in pg_stat_activity.
When a process is waiting for a heavyweight lock, we will now indicate
the type of heavyweight lock for which it is waiting.  Also, you can
now see when a process is waiting for a lightweight lock - in which
case we will indicate the individual lock name or the tranche, as
appropriate - or for a buffer pin.

Robert Haas b6fb6471f6 Add a generic command progress reporting facility.
Using this facility, any utility command can report the target relation
upon which it is operating, if there is one, and up to 10 64-bit
counters; the intent of this is that users should be able to figure out
what a utility command is doing without having to resort to ugly hacks
like attaching strace to a backend.

As a demonstration, this adds very crude reporting to lazy vacuum; we
just report the target relation and nothing else.  A forthcoming patch
will make VACUUM report a bunch of additional data that will make this
much more interesting.  But this gets the basic framework in place.
