at the same place in either mode. We can now also move the

InitAuxiliaryProcess() closely resembles InitProcess(), but it didn't
call InitLWLockAccess(). But because InitLWLockAccess() is a no-op
unless compiled with LWLOCK_STATS, and everything works even if it's
not called, the only consequence was that the stats were not printed
for aux processes.
This was an oversight in commit 1c6821be31, in version 9.5, so it is
missing in all supported branches. But since it only affects
developers using LWLOCK_STATS and no one has complained, no
backpatching.

We've had repeated bugs in the area of handling SLRU wraparound in the past,
some of which have caused data loss. Switching to an indexing system for SLRUs
that does not wrap around should allow us to get rid of a whole bunch

This particular patch however only changes the indexing and doesn't address

A WaitEventSet holds file descriptors or event handles (on Windows).
If FreeWaitEventSet is not called, those fds or handles are leaked.
Use ResourceOwners to track WaitEventSets, to clean those up
automatically on error.
This was a live bug in async Append nodes, if a FDW's
ForeignAsyncRequest function failed. (In back branches, I will apply a
more localized fix for that based on PG_TRY-PG_FINALLY.)
The added test doesn't check for leaking resources, so it passed even

As coded, the start block calculated by BufFileAppend() would overflow
once more than 16k files are used with a default block size. This issue
existed before b1e5c9fa9a, but there's no reason not to be clean about
it.
Per report from Coverity, with a fix suggested by Tom Lane.
The code previously relied on "long" as type to track block numbers,
which would be 4 bytes in all Windows builds or any 32-bit builds. This
limited the code to be able to handle up to 16TB of data with the
default block size of 8kB, like during a CLUSTER. This code now relies
on a more portable int64, which should be more than enough for at least

Instead of having a separate array/hash for each resource kind, use a
single array and hash to hold all kinds of resources. This makes it
possible to introduce new resource "kinds" without having to modify
the ResourceOwnerData struct. In particular, this makes it possible
for extensions to register custom resource kinds.
The old approach was to have a small array of resources of each kind,
and if it fills up, switch to a hash table. The new approach also uses
an array and a hash, but now the array and the hash are used at the
same time. The array is used to hold the recently added resources, and
when it fills up, they are moved to the hash. This keeps the access to
recent entries fast, even when there are a lot of long-held resources.
All the resource-specific ResourceOwnerEnlarge*(),
ResourceOwnerRemember*(), and ResourceOwnerForget*() functions have
been replaced with three generic functions that take resource kind as
argument. For convenience, we still define resource-specific wrapper
macros around the generic functions with the old names, but they are
now defined in the source files that use those resource kinds.
The release callback no longer needs to call ResourceOwnerForget on
the resource being released. ResourceOwnerRelease unregisters the
resource from the owner before calling the callback. That needed some
changes in bufmgr.c and some other files, where releasing the
resources previously always called ResourceOwnerForget.
Each resource kind specifies a release priority, and
ResourceOwnerReleaseAll releases the resources in priority order. To
make that possible, we have to restrict what you can do between
phases. After calling ResourceOwnerRelease(), you are no longer
allowed to remember any more resources in it or to forget any
previously remembered resources by calling ResourceOwnerForget. There
was one case where that was done previously. At subtransaction commit,
AtEOSubXact_Inval() would handle the invalidation messages and call
RelationFlushRelation(), which temporarily increased the reference
count on the relation being flushed. We now switch to the parent
subtransaction's resource owner before calling AtEOSubXact_Inval(), so
that there is a valid ResourceOwner to temporarily hold that relcache
reference.
Other end-of-xact routines make similar calls to AtEOXact_Inval()
between release phases, but I didn't see any regression test failures
from those, so I'm not sure if they could reach a codepath that needs
remembering extra resources.
There were two exceptions to how the resource leak WARNINGs on commit
were printed previously: llvmjit silently released the context without
printing the warning, and a leaked buffer io triggered a PANIC. Now
everything prints a WARNING, including those cases.

These are functions where a lot of things happen between the

that there are no unrelated ResourceOwnerRemember calls in the code in

intervening ResourceOwnerRemember and not be available at the intended

longer the code path between the calls is, the harder it is to verify.
In bufmgr.c, there is a function similar to ResourceOwnerEnlarge,
ReservePrivateRefCountEntry(), to ensure that the private refcount

A PostgreSQL release tarball contains a number of prebuilt files, in
particular files produced by bison, flex, perl, and well as html and
man documentation. We have done this consistent with established
practice at the time to not require these tools for building from a
tarball. Some of these tools were hard to get, or get the right
version of, from time to time, and shipping the prebuilt output was a
convenience to users.
Now this has at least two problems:
One, we have to make the build system(s) work in two modes: Building
from a git checkout and building from a tarball. This is pretty
complicated, but it works so far for autoconf/make. It does not
currently work for meson; you can currently only build with meson from
a git checkout. Making meson builds work from a tarball seems very
difficult or impossible. One particular problem is that since meson
requires a separate build directory, we cannot make the build update
files like gram.h in the source tree. So if you were to build from a
tarball and update gram.y, you will have a gram.h in the source tree
and one in the build tree, but the way things work is that the
compiler will always use the one in the source tree. So you cannot,
for example, make any gram.y changes when building from a tarball.
This seems impossible to fix in a non-horrible way.
Second, there is increased interest nowadays in precisely tracking the
origin of software. We can reasonably track contributions into the
git tree, and users can reasonably track the path from a tarball to
packages and downloads and installs. But what happens between the git
tree and the tarball is obscure and in some cases non-reproducible.
The solution for both of these issues is to get rid of the step that
adds prebuilt files to the tarball. The tarball now only contains
what is in the git tree (*). Getting the additional build
dependencies is no longer a problem nowadays, and the complications to
keep these dual build modes working are significant. And of course we
want to get the meson build system working universally.
This commit removes the make distprep target altogether. The make
dist target continues to do its job, it just doesn't call distprep
anymore.
(*) - The tarball also contains the INSTALL file that is built at make
dist time, but not by distprep. This is unchanged for now.
The make maintainer-clean target, whose job it is to remove the
prebuilt files in addition to what make distclean does, is now just an
alias to make distprep. (In practice, it is probably obsolete given
that git clean is available.)
The following programs are now hard build requirements in configure
(they were already required by meson.build):
- bison
- flex
- perl

On the contrary, it could signal background workers, including the
logical replication launcher. It could signal autovacuum workers and
the autovacuum launcher. Block all that. Signaling autovacuum workers
and those two launchers doesn't stall progress beyond what one could
achieve other ways. If a cluster uses a non-core extension with a

Since C99, there can be a trailing comma after the last value in an

the fly. Some new patches are now taking an inconsistent approach to
this. Some add the last comma on the fly if they add a new last

some are even dropping the last comma if there was one. We could
nudge this all in a consistent direction if we just add the trailing
commas everywhere once.
I omitted a few places where there was a fixed "last" value that will
always stay last. I also skipped the header files of libpq and ecpg,
in case people want to use those with older compilers. There were
also a small number of cases where the enum type wasn't used anywhere
(but the enum values were), which ended up confusing pgindent a bit,
so I left those alone.

parse_filename_for_nontemp_relation now rejects a RelFileNumber or
segment number that begins with a leading zero. Before, we accepted
such cases as relation filenames, but if we continued to do so after
this change, the function might return the same values for two
different files (e.g. 1234.5 and 001234.5 or 1234.005) which could be
annoying for callers. Since we don't actually ever generate filenames
with leading zeroes in the names, any such files that we find must
have been created by something other than PostgreSQL, and it is
therefore reasonable to treat them as non-relation files.
Along the way, change unlogged_relation_entry to store a RelFileNumber

The SIGTERM handler for the startup process immediately calls
proc_exit() for the duration of the restore_command, i.e., a call
to system(). This system() call forks a new process to execute the
shell command, and this child process inherits the parent's signal
handlers. If both the parent and child processes receive SIGTERM,
both will attempt to call proc_exit(). This can end badly. For
example, both processes will try to remove themselves from the
PGPROC shared array.
To fix this problem, this commit adds a check in
StartupProcShutdownHandler() to see whether MyProcPid == getpid().
If they match, this is the parent process, and we can proc_exit()
like before. If they do not match, this is a child process, and we
just emit a message to STDERR (in a signal safe manner) and
_exit(), thereby skipping any problematic exit callbacks.
This commit also adds checks in proc_exit(), ProcKill(), and
AuxiliaryProcKill() that verify they are not being called within
such child processes.

Backpatch-through: 11
It is possible that the tail XID of pg_serial/ gets ahead of its head
XID, which would cause the truncation of pg_serial/ done during
checkpoints to show up as a "wraparound" LOG in SimpleLruTruncate(),
which is confusing. This also wastes a bit of disk space until the head
page is reclaimed again.
CheckPointPredicate() is changed so as the cutoff page for the
truncation is switched to the head page if the tail XID has advanced
beyond the head XID, rather than the tail page. This prevents the
confusing LOG message about a wraparound while allowing some truncation
to be done to cut in disk space.
This could be considered as a bug fix, but the original behavior is
harmless as well, resulting only in disk space temporarily wasted, so
no backpatch is done.

The WAIT_USE_WIN32 implementation of WaitEventSetWait() previously
reported at most one event per call, because that's what the underlying
WaitForMultipleObjects() call does.
We can make the behavior match the three Unix implementations by looping
until our output buffer is full, or there are no more events available
now. This makes no difference to most callers including the regular
FEBE socket code, since they ask for at most one event anyway. A
difference in socket accept priority might be perceived by end users
after commit 7389aad6 started using WaitEventSet in the postmaster.
With this commit, the accept order now matches Unix systems, servicing
listening sockets in round-robin order.

We shouldn't be doing non-trivial work in signal handlers in general,
and in this case the handler could reach unsafe code and corrupt state.
It also clobbered its own "reason" code.
Move all recovery conflict decision logic into the next
CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS(), and have the signal handler just set flags and
the latch, following the standard pattern. Since there are several
different "reasons", use a separate flag for each.
With this refactoring, the recovery conflict system no longer
piggy-backs on top of the regular query cancelation mechanism, but
instead raises an error directly if it decides that is necessary. It
still needs to respect QueryCancelHoldoffCount, because otherwise the
FEBE protocol might get out of sync (see commit 2b3a8b20c2).
This fixes one class of intermittent failure in the new
031_recovery_conflict.pl test added by commit 9f8a050f, though the buggy
coding is much older. Failures outside contrived testing seem to be
very rare (or perhaps incorrectly attributed) in the field, based on
lack of reports.

Commit b91dd9de was concerned with a theoretical problem with our
non-atomic condition variable operations. If you stop sleeping, and
then cancel the sleep in a separate step, you might be signaled in
between, and that could be lost. That doesn't matter for callers of
ConditionVariableBroadcast(), but callers of ConditionVariableSignal()
might be upset if a signal went missing like this.
Commit bc971f4025 interacted badly with that logic, because it doesn't
use ConditionVariableSleep(), which would normally put us back in the
wait list. ConditionVariableCancelSleep() would be confused and think
we'd received an extra signal, and try to forward it to another backend,
resulting in wakeup storms.
New idea: ConditionVariableCancelSleep() can just return true if we've
been signaled. Hypothetical users of ConditionVariableSignal() would
then still have a way to deal with rare lost signals if they are
concerned about that problem.
Back-patch to 16, where bc971f4025 arrived.

Currently, the names of the custom wait event must be registered for
each backend, requiring all these to link to the shared memory area of
an extension, even if these are not loaded with
shared_preload_libraries.
This patch relaxes the constraints related to this infrastructure by
storing the wait events and their names in two dynamic hash tables in
shared memory. This has the advantage to simplify the registration of
custom wait events to a single routine call that returns an event ID
ready for consumption:
uint32 WaitEventExtensionNew(const char *wait_event_name);
The caller of this routine can then cache locally the ID returned, to be
used for pgstat_report_wait_start(), WaitLatch() or a similar routine.
The implementation uses two hash tables: one with a key based on the
event name to avoid duplicates and a second using the event ID as key
for event lookups, like on pg_stat_activity. These tables can hold a
minimum of 16 entries, and a maximum of 128 entries, which should be plenty
enough.
The code changes done in worker_spi show how things are simplified (most
of the code removed in this commit comes from there):
- worker_spi_init() is gone.
- No more shared memory hooks required (size requested and
initialization).
- The custom wait event ID is cached in the process that needs to set
it, with one single call to WaitEventExtensionNew() to retrieve it.
Per suggestion from Andres Freund.

Two backend routines are added to allow extension to allocate and define
custom wait events, all of these being allocated in the type
"Extension":
* WaitEventExtensionNew(), that allocates a wait event ID computed from
a counter in shared memory.
* WaitEventExtensionRegisterName(), to associate a custom string to the
wait event ID allocated.
Note that this includes an example of how to use this new facility in
worker_spi with tests in TAP for various scenarios, and some
documentation about how to use them.
Any code in the tree that currently uses WAIT_EVENT_EXTENSION could
switch to this new facility to define custom wait events. This is left
as work for future patches.

Commit 5764f611e used dclist_delete_from() to remove the proc from the
wait queue. However, since it doesn't clear dist_node's next/prev to
NULL, it could call RemoveFromWaitQueue() twice: when the process
detects a deadlock and then when cleaning up locks on aborting the
transaction. The waiting lock information is cleared in the first
call, so it led to a crash in the second call.
Backpatch to v16, where the change was introduced.

This commit adds a few comments about what LWLockWaitForVar() relies on
when a backend waits for a variable update on its LWLocks for WAL
insertions up to an expected LSN.
First, LWLockWaitForVar() does not include a memory barrier, relying on
a spinlock taken at the beginning of WaitXLogInsertionsToFinish(). This
was hidden behind two layers of routines in lwlock.c. This assumption
is now documented at the top of LWLockWaitForVar(), and detailed at bit
more within LWLockConflictsWithVar().
Second, document why WaitXLogInsertionsToFinish() does not include
memory barriers, relying on a spinlock at its top, which is, per Andres'
input, fine for two different reasons, both depending on the fact that
the caller of WaitXLogInsertionsToFinish() is waiting for a LSN up to a
certain value.
This area's documentation and assumptions could be improved more in the
future, but at least that's a beginning.

The WAL insertion lock variable insertingAt is currently being read
and written with the help of the LWLock wait list lock to avoid any read
of torn values. This wait list lock can become a point of contention on
a highly concurrent write workloads.
This commit switches insertingAt to a 64b atomic variable that provides
torn-free reads/writes. On platforms without 64b atomic support, the
fallback implementation uses spinlocks to provide the same guarantees
for the values read. LWLockWaitForVar(), through
LWLockConflictsWithVar(), reads the new value to check if it still needs
to wait with a u64 atomic operation. LWLockUpdateVar() updates the
variable before waking up the waiters with an exchange_u64 (full memory
barrier). LWLockReleaseClearVar() now uses also an exchange_u64 to
reset the variable. Before this commit, all these steps relied on
LWLockWaitListLock() and LWLockWaitListUnlock().
This reduces contention on LWLock wait list lock and improves
performance of highly-concurrent write workloads. Here are some
numbers using pg_logical_emit_message() (HEAD at d6677b93) with various
arbitrary record lengths and clients up to 1k on a rather-large machine
(64 vCPUs, 512GB of RAM, 16 cores per sockets, 2 sockets), in terms of
TPS numbers coming from pgbench:

Bharath has been measuring similar improvements, where the limit of the
WAL insertion lock begins to be felt when more than 256 concurrent
clients are involved in this specific workload.
An extra patch has been discussed to introduce a fast-exit path in
LWLockUpdateVar() when there are no waiters, still this does not
influence the write-heavy workload cases discussed as there are always
waiters. This will be considered separately.

Due to the bug LimitAdditionalPins() could return 0, violating
LimitAdditionalPins()'s API ("One additional pin is always allowed"). This
could be hit when setting shared_buffers very low and using a fair amount of
concurrency.

Backpatch: 16-
The "fsync" level already flushes drive write caches on Windows (as does
"fdatasync"), so it only confuses matters to have an apparently higher
level that isn't actually different at all.
That leaves "fsync_writethrough" only for macOS, where it actually does
something different.
