Heikki Linnakangas b8bff07daa Make ResourceOwners more easily extensible.
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.

Add tests in src/test/modules/test_resowner.

Peter Eisentraut 611806cd72 Add trailing commas to enum definitions
Since C99, there can be a trailing comma after the last value in an
enum definition.  A lot of new code has been introducing this style on
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
value, some are trying to preserve the existing style in each place,
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.

Robert Haas 5c47c6546c Refactor parse_filename_for_nontemp_relation to parse more.
Instead of returning the number of characters in the RelFileNumber,
return the RelFileNumber itself. Continue to return the fork number,
as before, and additionally return the segment number.

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
rather than an OID. This update should have been made in
851f4cc75c, but it was overlooked.
It's trivial to make the update as part of this commit, perhaps more
trivial than it would have been without it, so do that.

Patch by me, reviewed by David Steele.

Nathan Bossart 8d140c5822 Improve the naming in wal_sync_method code.
* sync_method is renamed to wal_sync_method.

* sync_method_options[] is renamed to wal_sync_method_options[].

* assign_xlog_sync_method() is renamed to assign_wal_sync_method().

* The names of the available synchronization methods are now
  prefixed with "WAL_SYNC_METHOD_" and have been moved into a
  WalSyncMethod enum.

* PLATFORM_DEFAULT_SYNC_METHOD is renamed to
  PLATFORM_DEFAULT_WAL_SYNC_METHOD, and DEFAULT_SYNC_METHOD is
  renamed to DEFAULT_WAL_SYNC_METHOD.

These more descriptive names help distinguish the code for
wal_sync_method from the code for DataDirSyncMethod (e.g., the
recovery_init_sync_method configuration parameter and the
--sync-method option provided by several frontend utilities).  This
change also prevents name collisions between the aforementioned
sets of code.  Since this only improves the naming of internal
identifiers, there should be no behavior change.

Thomas Munro d0c28601ef Remove wal_sync_method=fsync_writethrough on Windows.
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.

Andres Freund 0d369ac650 fd.c: Retry after EINTR in more places
Starting with 4d330a61bb we can use posix_fallocate() to extend
files. Unfortunately in some situation, e.g. on tmpfs filesystems, EINTR may
be returned. See also 4518c798b2.

To fix, add a retry path to FileFallocate(). In contrast to 4518c798b2 the
amount we extend by is limited and the extending may happen at a high
frequency, so disabling signals does not appear to be the correct path here.

Also add retry paths to other file operations currently lacking them (around
fdatasync(), fsync(), ftruncate(), posix_fadvise(), sync_file_range(),
truncate()) - they are all documented or have been observed to return EINTR.

Even though most of these functions used in the back branches, it does not
seem worth the risk to backpatch - outside of the new-to-16 case of
posix_fallocate() I am not aware of problem reports due to the lack of
retries.

Thomas Munro d4e71df6d7 Add io_direct setting (developer-only).
Provide a way to ask the kernel to use O_DIRECT (or local equivalent)
where available for data and WAL files, to avoid or minimize kernel
caching.  This hurts performance currently and is not intended for end
users yet.  Later proposed work would introduce our own I/O clustering,
read-ahead, etc to replace the facilities the kernel disables with this
option.

The only user-visible change, if the developer-only GUC is not used, is
that this commit also removes the obscure logic that would activate
O_DIRECT for the WAL when wal_sync_method=open_[data]sync and
wal_level=minimal (which also requires max_wal_senders=0).  Those are
non-default and unlikely settings, and this behavior wasn't (correctly)
documented.  The same effect can be achieved with io_direct=wal.

Thomas Munro faeedbcefd Introduce PG_IO_ALIGN_SIZE and align all I/O buffers.
In order to have the option to use O_DIRECT/FILE_FLAG_NO_BUFFERING in a
later commit, we need the addresses of user space buffers to be well
aligned.  The exact requirements vary by OS and file system (typically
sectors and/or memory pages).  The address alignment size is set to
4096, which is enough for currently known systems: it matches modern
sectors and common memory page size.  There is no standard governing
O_DIRECT's requirements so we might eventually have to reconsider this
with more information from the field or future systems.

Aligning I/O buffers on memory pages is also known to improve regular
buffered I/O performance.

Three classes of I/O buffers for regular data pages are adjusted:
(1) Heap buffers are now allocated with the new palloc_aligned() or
MemoryContextAllocAligned() functions introduced by commit 439f6175.
(2) Stack buffers now use a new struct PGIOAlignedBlock to respect
PG_IO_ALIGN_SIZE, if possible with this compiler.  (3) The buffer
pool is also aligned in shared memory.

WAL buffers were already aligned on XLOG_BLCKSZ.  It's possible for
XLOG_BLCKSZ to be configured smaller than PG_IO_ALIGNED_SIZE and thus
for O_DIRECT WAL writes to fail to be well aligned, but that's a
pre-existing condition and will be addressed by a later commit.

BufFiles are not yet addressed (there's no current plan to use O_DIRECT
for those, but they could potentially get some incidental speedup even
in plain buffered I/O operations through better alignment).

If we can't align stack objects suitably using the compiler extensions
we know about, we disable the use of O_DIRECT by setting PG_O_DIRECT to
0.  This avoids the need to consider systems that have O_DIRECT but
can't align stack objects the way we want; such systems could in theory
be supported with more work but we don't currently know of any such
machines, so it's easier to pretend there is no O_DIRECT support
instead.  That's an existing and tested class of system.

Add assertions that all buffers passed into smgrread(), smgrwrite() and
smgrextend() are correctly aligned, unless PG_O_DIRECT is 0 (= stack
alignment tricks may be unavailable) or the block size has been set too
small to allow arrays of buffers to be all aligned.

Andres Freund 4d330a61bb Add smgrzeroextend(), FileZero(), FileFallocate()
smgrzeroextend() uses FileFallocate() to efficiently extend files by multiple
blocks. When extending by a small number of blocks, use FileZero() instead, as
using posix_fallocate() for small numbers of blocks is inefficient for some
file systems / operating systems. FileZero() is also used as the fallback for
FileFallocate() on platforms / filesystems that don't support fallocate.

A big advantage of using posix_fallocate() is that it typically won't cause
dirty buffers in the kernel pagecache. So far the most common pattern in our
code is that we smgrextend() a page full of zeroes and put the corresponding
page into shared buffers, from where we later write out the actual contents of
the page. If the kernel, e.g. due to memory pressure or elapsed time, already
wrote back the all-zeroes page, this can lead to doubling the amount of writes
reaching storage.

There are no users of smgrzeroextend() as of this commit. That will follow in
future commits.

Andres Freund ca7b3c4c00 pg_stat_wal: Accumulate time as instr_time instead of microseconds

* When summing multiple measurements, it's recommended to leave the

* INSTR_TIME_ACCUM_DIFF) and convert to a result format only at the end.

The reason for that is that converting to microseconds is not cheap, and can
loose precision.  Therefore this commit changes 'PendingWalStats' to use
'instr_time' instead of 'PgStat_Counter' while accumulating 'wal_write_time'
and 'wal_sync_time'.

Thomas Munro 1da569ca1f Don't leak descriptors into subprograms.
Open long-lived data and WAL file descriptors with O_CLOEXEC.  This flag
was introduced by SUSv4 (POSIX.1-2008), and by now all of our target
Unix systems have it.  Our open() implementation for Windows already had
that behavior, so provide a dummy O_CLOEXEC flag on that platform.

For now, callers of open() and the "thin" wrappers in fd.c that deal in
raw descriptors need to pass in O_CLOEXEC explicitly if desired.  This
commit does that for WAL files, and automatically for everything
accessed via VFDs including SMgrRelation and BufFile.  (With more
discussion we might decide to turn it on automatically for the thin
open()-wrappers too to avoid risk of missing places that need it, but
these are typically used for short-lived descriptors where we don't
expect to fork/exec, and it's remotely possible that extensions could be
using these APIs and passing descriptors to subprograms deliberately, so
that hasn't been done here.)

Do the same for sockets and the postmaster pipe with FD_CLOEXEC.  (Later
commits might use modern interfaces to remove these extra fcntl() calls
and more where possible, but we'll need them as a fallback for a couple
of systems, so do it that way in this initial commit.)

With this change, subprograms executed for archiving, copying etc will
no longer have access to the server's descriptors, other than the ones
that we decide to pass down.

Michael Paquier 4ab8c81bd9 Move pg_pwritev_with_retry() to src/common/file_utils.c
This commit moves pg_pwritev_with_retry(), a convenience wrapper of
pg_writev() able to handle partial writes, to common/file_utils.c so
that the frontend code is able to use it.  A first use-case targetted
for this routine is pg_basebackup and pg_receivewal, for the
zero-padding of a newly-initialized WAL segment.  This is used currently
in the backend when the GUC wal_init_zero is enabled (default).

Thomas Munro b6d8a60aba Restore pg_pread and friends.
Commits cf112c12 and a0dc8271 were a little too hasty in getting rid of
the pg_ prefixes where we use pread(), pwrite() and vectored variants.

We dropped support for ancient Unixes where we needed to use lseek() to
implement replacements for those, but it turns out that Windows also
changes the current position even when you pass in an offset to
ReadFile() and WriteFile() if the file handle is synchronous, despite
its documentation saying otherwise.

Switching to asynchronous file handles would fix that, but have other
complications.  For now let's just put back the pg_ prefix and add some
comments to highlight the non-standard side-effect, which we can now
describe as Windows-only.

Robert Haas a448e49bcb Revert 56-bit relfilenode change and follow-up commits.
There are still some alignment-related failures in the buildfarm,
which might or might not be able to be fixed quickly, but I've also
just realized that it increased the size of many WAL records by 4 bytes
because a block reference contains a RelFileLocator. The effect of that
hasn't been studied or discussed, so revert for now.

Robert Haas 05d4cbf9b6 Increase width of RelFileNumbers from 32 bits to 56 bits.
RelFileNumbers are now assigned using a separate counter, instead of
being assigned from the OID counter. This counter never wraps around:
if all 2^56 possible RelFileNumbers are used, an internal error
occurs. As the cluster is limited to 2^64 total bytes of WAL, this
limitation should not cause a problem in practice.

If the counter were 64 bits wide rather than 56 bits wide, we would
need to increase the width of the BufferTag, which might adversely
impact buffer lookup performance. Also, this lets us use bigint for
pg_class.relfilenode and other places where these values are exposed
at the SQL level without worrying about overflow.

This should remove the need to keep "tombstone" files around until
the next checkpoint when relations are removed. We do that to keep
RelFileNumbers from being recycled, but now that won't happen
anyway. However, this patch doesn't actually change anything in
this area; it just makes it possible for a future patch to do so.

some earlier versions of the patch. Further review and some
wordsmithing by me. Also reviewed at various points by Ashutosh

Andres Freund e6927270cd meson: Add initial version of meson based build system
Autoconf is showing its age, fewer and fewer contributors know how to wrangle
it. Recursive make has a lot of hard to resolve dependency issues and slow
incremental rebuilds. Our home-grown MSVC build system is hard to maintain for
developers not using Windows and runs tests serially. While these and other
issues could individually be addressed with incremental improvements, together
they seem best addressed by moving to a more modern build system.

After evaluating different build system choices, we chose to use meson, to a
good degree based on the adoption by other open source projects.

We decided that it's more realistic to commit a relatively early version of
the new build system and mature it in tree.

This commit adds an initial version of a meson based build system. It supports
building postgres on at least AIX, FreeBSD, Linux, macOS, NetBSD, OpenBSD,
Solaris and Windows (however only gcc is supported on aix, solaris). For
Windows/MSVC postgres can now be built with ninja (faster, particularly for
incremental builds) and msbuild (supporting the visual studio GUI, but
building slower).

Several aspects (e.g. Windows rc file generation, PGXS compatibility, LLVM
bitcode generation, documentation adjustments) are done in subsequent commits
requiring further review. Other aspects (e.g. not installing test-only
extensions) are not yet addressed.

When building on Windows with msbuild, builds are slower when using a visual
studio version older than 2019, because those versions do not support
MultiToolTask, required by meson for intra-target parallelism.

The plan is to remove the MSVC specific build system in src/tools/msvc soon
after reaching feature parity. However, we're not planning to remove the
autoconf/make build system in the near future. Likely we're going to keep at
least the parts required for PGXS to keep working around until all supported
versions build with meson.

https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Meson

Michael Paquier bfb9dfd937 Expand the use of get_dirent_type(), shaving a few calls to stat()/lstat()
Several backend-side loops scanning one or more directories with
ReadDir() (WAL segment recycle/removal in xlog.c, backend-side directory
copy, temporary file removal, configuration file parsing, some logical
decoding logic and some pgtz stuff) already know the type of the entry
being scanned thanks to the dirent structure associated to the entry, on
platforms where we know about DT_REG, DT_DIR and DT_LNK to make the
difference between a regular file, a directory and a symbolic link.

Relying on the direct structure of an entry saves a few system calls to
stat() and lstat() in the loops updated here, shaving some code while on
it.  The logic of the code remains the same, calling stat() or lstat()
depending on if it is necessary to look through symlinks.

Tom Lane 7fed801135 Clean up inconsistent use of fflush().
More than twenty years ago (79fcde48b), we hacked the postmaster
to avoid a core-dump on systems that didn't support fflush(NULL).
We've mostly, though not completely, hewed to that rule ever since.
But such systems are surely gone in the wild, so in the spirit of
cleaning out no-longer-needed portability hacks let's get rid of
multiple per-file fflush() calls in favor of using fflush(NULL).

Also, we were fairly inconsistent about whether to fflush() before
popen() and system() calls.  While we've received no bug reports
about that, it seems likely that at least some of these call sites
are at risk of odd behavior, such as error messages appearing in
an unexpected order.  Rather than expend a lot of brain cells
figuring out which places are at hazard, let's just establish a
uniform coding rule that we should fflush(NULL) before these calls.
A no-op fflush() is surely of trivial cost compared to launching
a sub-process via a shell; while if it's not a no-op then we likely
need it.

Thomas Munro 5fc88c5d53 Replace pgwin32_is_junction() with lstat().
Now that lstat() reports junction points with S_IFLNK/S_ISLINK(), and
unlink() can unlink them, there is no need for conditional code for
Windows in a few places.  That was expressed by testing for WIN32 or
S_ISLNK, which we can now constant-fold.

The coding around pgwin32_is_junction() was a bit suspect anyway, as we
never checked for errors, and we also know that errors can be spuriously
reported because of transient sharing violations on this OS.  The
lstat()-based code has handling for that.

This also reverts 4fc6b6ee on master only.  That was done because
lstat() didn't previously work for symlinks (junction points), but now
it does.

Thomas Munro a0dc827112 Simplify replacement code for preadv and pwritev.
preadv() and pwritev() are not standardized by POSIX, but appeared in
NetBSD in 1999 and were adopted by at least OpenBSD, FreeBSD,
DragonFlyBSD, Linux, AIX, illumos and macOS.  We don't use them much
yet, but an active proposal uses them heavily.

In 15, we had two replacement implementations for other OSes: one based
on lseek() + -v function if available for true vector I/O, and the other
based on a loop over p- function.

The former would be an obstacle to hypothetical future multi-threaded
code sharing file descriptors, while the latter would not, since commit
cf112c12.  Furthermore, the number of targeted systems that could
benefit from the former's potential upside has dwindled to just one
niche OS, since macOS added the functions and we de-supported HP-UX.
That doesn't seem like a good trade-off.

Therefore, drop the lseek()-based variant, and also the pg_ prefix now
that the file position portability hazard is gone.

At the time of writing, the only systems in our build farm that lack
native preadv/pwritev and thus use fallback code are:

 * Solaris (but not illumos)
 * macOS before release 11.0
 * Windows

With this commit, the above systems will now use the *same* fallback
code, the version that loops over pread()/pwrite().  Windows already
used that (though a later proposal may include true vector I/O for
Windows), so this decision really only affects Solaris, until it gets
around to adding these system calls.

Also remove some useless includes while here.

Thomas Munro cf112c1220 Remove dead pread and pwrite replacement code.
pread() and pwrite() are in SUSv2, and all targeted Unix systems have

Previously, we defined pg_pread and pg_pwrite to emulate these function
with lseek() on old Unixen.  The names with a pg_ prefix were a reminder
of a portability hazard: they might change the current file position.
That hazard is gone, so we can drop the prefixes.

Since the remaining replacement code is Windows-only, move it into
src/port/win32p{read,write}.c, and move the declarations into
src/include/port/win32_port.h.

No need for vestigial HAVE_PREAD, HAVE_PWRITE macros as they were only
used for declarations in port.h which have now moved into win32_port.h.
