Robert Haas f71519e545 Refactor and generalize the ParallelSlot machinery.
Create a wrapper object, ParallelSlotArray, to encapsulate the
number of slots and the slot array itself, plus some other relevant
bits of information. This reduces the number of parameters we have
to pass around all over the place.

Allow for a ParallelSlotArray to contain slots connected to
different databases within a single cluster. The current clients
of this mechanism don't need this, but it is expected to be used
by future patches.

Defer connecting to databases until we actually need the connection
for something. This is a slight behavior change for vacuumdb and
reindexdb. If you specify a number of jobs that is larger than the
number of objects, the extra connections will now not be used.
But, on the other hand, if you specify a number of jobs that is
so large that it's going to fail, the failure would previously have
happened before any operations were actually started, and now it
won't.

Michael Paquier 2c0cefcd18 Set libcrypto callbacks for all connection threads in libpq
Based on an analysis of the OpenSSL code with Jacob, moving to EVP for
the cryptohash computations makes necessary the setup of the libcrypto
callbacks that were getting set only for SSL connections, but not for
connections without SSL.  Not setting the callbacks makes the use of
threads potentially unsafe for connections calling cryptohashes during
authentication, like MD5 or SCRAM, if a failure happens during a
cryptohash computation.  The logic setting the libssl and libcrypto
states is then split into two parts, both using the same locking, with
libcrypto being set up for SSL and non-SSL connections, while SSL
connections set any libssl state afterwards as needed.

Prior to this commit, only SSL connections would have set libcrypto
callbacks that are necessary to ensure a proper thread locking when
using multiple concurrent threads in libpq (ENABLE_THREAD_SAFETY).  Note
that this is only required for OpenSSL 1.0.2 and 1.0.1 (oldest version
supported on HEAD), as 1.1.0 has its own internal locking and it has
dropped support for CRYPTO_set_locking_callback().

Tests with up to 300 threads with OpenSSL 1.0.1 and 1.0.2, mixing SSL
and non-SSL connection threads did not show any performance impact after
some micro-benchmarking.  pgbench can be used here with -C and a
mostly-empty script (with one \set meta-command for example) to stress
authentication requests, and we have mixed that with some custom
programs for testing.

Peter Geoghegan 5f8727f5a6 VACUUM ANALYZE: Always update pg_class.reltuples.
vacuumlazy.c sometimes fails to update pg_class entries for each index
(to ensure that pg_class.reltuples is current), even though analyze.c
assumed that that must have happened during VACUUM ANALYZE.  There are
at least a couple of reasons for this.  For example, vacuumlazy.c could
fail to update pg_class when the index AM indicated that its statistics
are merely an estimate, per the contract for amvacuumcleanup() routines
established by commit e57345975c back in 2006.

Stop assuming that pg_class must have been updated with accurate
statistics within VACUUM ANALYZE -- update pg_class for indexes at the
same time as the table relation in all cases.  That way VACUUM ANALYZE
will never fail to keep pg_class.reltuples reasonably accurate.

The only downside of this approach (compared to the old approach) is
that it might inaccurately set pg_class.reltuples for indexes whose heap
relation ends up with the same inaccurate value anyway.  This doesn't
seem too bad.  We already consistently called vac_update_relstats() (to
update pg_class) for the heap/table relation twice during any VACUUM
ANALYZE -- once in vacuumlazy.c, and once in analyze.c.  We now make
sure that we call vac_update_relstats() at least once (though often
twice) for each index.

This is follow up work to commit 9f3665fb, which dealt with issues in
btvacuumcleanup().  Technically this fixes an unrelated issue, though.
btvacuumcleanup() no longer provides an accurate num_index_tuples value
following commit 9f3665fb (when there was no btbulkdelete() call during
the VACUUM operation in question), but hashvacuumcleanup() has worked in
the same way for many years now.

2021-03-10 17:07:57 -08:00
Peter Geoghegan 9f3665fbfc Don't consider newly inserted tuples in nbtree VACUUM.
Remove the entire idea of "stale stats" within nbtree VACUUM (stop
caring about stats involving the number of inserted tuples).  Also
remove the vacuum_cleanup_index_scale_factor GUC/param on the master
branch (though just disable them on postgres 13).

The vacuum_cleanup_index_scale_factor/stats interface made the nbtree AM
partially responsible for deciding when pg_class.reltuples stats needed
to be updated.  This seems contrary to the spirit of the index AM API,
though -- it is not actually necessary for an index AM's bulk delete and
cleanup callbacks to provide accurate stats when it happens to be
inconvenient.  The core code owns that.  (Index AMs have the authority
to perform or not perform certain kinds of deferred cleanup based on
their own considerations, such as page deletion and recycling, but that
has little to do with pg_class.reltuples/num_index_tuples.)

This issue was fairly harmless until the introduction of the
autovacuum_vacuum_insert_threshold feature by commit b07642db, which had
an undesirable interaction with the vacuum_cleanup_index_scale_factor
mechanism: it made insert-driven autovacuums perform full index scans,
even though there is no real benefit to doing so.  This has been tied to
a regression with an append-only insert benchmark [1].

Also have remaining cases that perform a full scan of an index during a
cleanup-only nbtree VACUUM indicate that the final tuple count is only
an estimate.  This prevents vacuumlazy.c from setting the index's
pg_class.reltuples in those cases (it will now only update pg_class when
vacuumlazy.c had TIDs for nbtree to bulk delete).  This arguably fixes
an oversight in deduplication-related bugfix commit 48e12913.

Tom Lane c3ffe34863 Avoid creating duplicate cached plans for inherited FK constraints.
When a foreign key constraint is applied to a partitioned table, each
leaf partition inherits a similar FK constraint.  We were processing all
of those constraints independently, meaning that in large partitioning
trees we'd build up large collections of cached FK-checking query plans.
However, in all cases but one, the generated queries are actually
identical for all members of the inheritance tree (because, in most
cases, the query only mentions the topmost table of the other side of
the FK relationship).  So we can share a single cached plan among all
the partitions, saving memory, not to mention time to build and maintain
the cached plans.

Peter Eisentraut bbaf315309 Add bound check before bsearch() for performance
In the current lazy vacuum implementation, some index AMs such as
btree indexes call lazy_tid_reaped() for each index tuple during
ambulkdelete to check if the index tuple points to the (collected)
garbage tuple.  In that function, we simply call bsearch(), but we
should be able to know the result without bsearch() if the index tuple
points to the heap tuple that is out of range of the collected garbage
tuples.  Therefore, add a simple bound check before resorting to
bsearch().  Testing has shown that this can give significant
performance benefits.

Thomas Munro c427de427a Fix another portability bug in recent pgbench commit.
Commit 547f04e7 produced errors on AIX/xlc while building plpython.  The
new code appears to be incompatible with the hack installed by commit
a11cf433.  Without access to an AIX system to check, my guess is that
_POSIX_C_SOURCE may be required for <time.h> to declare the things the
header needs to see, but plpython.h undefines it.

For now, to unbreak build farm animal hoverfly, just move the new
pg_time_usec_t support into pgbench.c.  Perhaps later we could figure
out what to rearrange to put it back into a header for wider use.

Michael Paquier 6c788d9f6a Move tablespace path re-creation from the makefiles to pg_regress
Moving this logic into pg_regress fixes a potential failure with
parallel tests when pg_upgrade and the main regression test suite both
trigger the makefile rule that cleaned up testtablespace/ under
src/test/regress.  Even if pg_upgrade was triggering this rule, it has
no need to do so as it uses a different tablespace path.  So if
pg_upgrade triggered the makefile rule for the tablespace setup while
the main regression test suite ran the tablespace cases, it would fail.

61be85a was a similar attempt at achieving that, but that broke cases
where the regression tests require to run under an Administrator
account, like with Appveyor.

Amit Kapila 05c8482f7f Enable parallel SELECT for "INSERT INTO ... SELECT ...".
Parallel SELECT can't be utilized for INSERT in the following cases:
- INSERT statement uses the ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE clause
- Target table has a parallel-unsafe: trigger, index expression or
  predicate, column default expression or check constraint
- Target table has a parallel-unsafe domain constraint on any column
- Target table is a partitioned table with a parallel-unsafe partition key
  expression or support function

The planner is updated to perform additional parallel-safety checks for
the cases listed above, for determining whether it is safe to run INSERT
in parallel-mode with an underlying parallel SELECT. The planner will
consider using parallel SELECT for "INSERT INTO ... SELECT ...", provided
nothing unsafe is found from the additional parallel-safety checks, or
from the existing parallel-safety checks for SELECT.

While checking parallel-safety, we need to check it for all the partitions
on the table which can be costly especially when we decide not to use a
parallel plan. So, in a separate patch, we will introduce a GUC and or a
reloption to enable/disable parallelism for Insert statements.

Prior to entering parallel-mode for the execution of INSERT with parallel
SELECT, a TransactionId is acquired and assigned to the current
transaction state. This is necessary to prevent the INSERT from attempting
to assign the TransactionId whilst in parallel-mode, which is not allowed.
This approach has a disadvantage in that if the underlying SELECT does not
return any rows, then the TransactionId is not used, however that
shouldn't happen in practice in many cases.

Fujii Masao ff99918c62 Track total amounts of times spent writing and syncing WAL data to disk.
This commit adds new GUC track_wal_io_timing. When this is enabled,
the total amounts of time XLogWrite writes and issue_xlog_fsync syncs
WAL data to disk are counted in pg_stat_wal. This information would be
useful to check how much WAL write and sync affect the performance.

Enabling track_wal_io_timing will make the server query the operating
system for the current time every time WAL is written or synced,
which may cause significant overhead on some platforms. To avoid such
additional overhead in the server with track_io_timing enabled,
this commit introduces track_wal_io_timing as a separate parameter from
track_io_timing.

Note that WAL write and sync activity by walreceiver has not been tracked yet.

This commit makes the server also track the numbers of times XLogWrite
writes and issue_xlog_fsync syncs WAL data to disk, in pg_stat_wal,
regardless of the setting of track_wal_io_timing. This counters can be
used to calculate the WAL write and sync time per request, for example.

Michael Paquier f9264d1524 Remove support for SSL compression
PostgreSQL disabled compression as of e3bdb2d and the documentation
recommends against using it since.  Additionally, SSL compression has
been disabled in OpenSSL since version 1.1.0, and was disabled in many
distributions long before that.  The most recent TLS version, TLSv1.3,
disallows compression at the protocol level.

This commit removes the feature itself, removing support for the libpq
parameter sslcompression (parameter still listed for compatibility
reasons with existing connection strings, just ignored), and removes
the equivalent field in pg_stat_ssl and de facto PgBackendSSLStatus.

Note that, on top of removing the ability to activate compression by
configuration, compression is actively disabled in both frontend and
backend to avoid overrides from local configurations.

backwards compatibility.

Tom Lane 6c20bdb2a2 Further tweak memory management for regex DFAs.
Coverity is still unhappy after commit 190c79884, and after looking
closer I think it might be onto something.  The callers of newdfa()
typically drop out if v->err has been set nonzero, which newdfa()
is faithfully doing if it fails.  However, what if v->err was already
nonzero before we entered newdfa()?  Then newdfa() could succeed and
the caller would promptly leak its result.

I don't think this scenario can actually happen, but the predicate
"v->err is always zero when newdfa() is called" seems difficult to be
entirely sure of; there's a good deal of code that potentially could
get that wrong.

It seems better to adjust the callers to directly check for a null
result instead of relying on ISERR() tests.  This is slightly cheaper
than the previous coding anyway.

Lacking evidence that there's any real bug, no back-patch.

Commit 1eb6d6527a allowed to track replica origin replay progress for 2PC
but it was not complete. It misses to properly track the progress for
rollback prepared especially it missed updating the code for recovery.
Additionally, we need to allow tracking it on subscriber nodes where
wal_level might not be logical.

It is required to track decoding of 2PC which is committed in PG14

Michael Paquier f1516ad7b3 pgbench: Simplify some port, host, user and dbname assignments
Using pgbench in an environment with both PGPORT and PGUSER set would
have caused the generation of a debug log with an incorrect database
name due to an oversight in 412893b.  Not specifying user, port and/or
database using the option switches, without their respective environment
variables, generated a log entry with empty strings, which was
rather useless.

This commit fixes this set of issues by simplifying the logic grabbing
the connection information, removing a set of getenv() calls that
emulated what libpq already does.  The faulty debug log now directly
uses the information from the libpq connection, and it gets generated
after the connection to the backend is completed, not before it (in the
event of a failure libpq would complain with more information about the
connection attempt so the log is not really useful before anyway).

Protocol version 3 was introduced in PostgreSQL 7.4. There shouldn't be
many clients or servers left out there without version 3 support. But as
a courtesy, I kept just enough of the old protocol support that we can
still send the "unsupported protocol version" error in v2 format, so that
old clients can display the message properly. Likewise, libpq still
understands v2 ErrorResponse messages when establishing a connection.

The impetus to do this now is that I'm working on a patch to COPY

old protocol, because it requires parsing the input one byte at a time
to detect the end-of-copy marker.

"read-write" retains its previous meaning of "transactions are
read-write by default", and "read-only" inverts that.  The other
three modes test specifically for hot-standby status, which is not
quite the same thing.  (Setting default_transaction_read_only on
a primary server renders it read-only to this logic, but not a
standby.)

Furthermore, if talking to a v14 or later server, no extra network
round trip is needed to detect the session's status; the GUC_REPORT
variables delivered by the server are enough.  When talking to an
older server, a SHOW or SELECT query is issued to detect session
read-only-ness or server hot-standby state, as needed.

This extends the changes made in commit cebc1d34e, teaching
parseqatom() to generate fewer or cheaper subre nodes in some edge
cases.  The case of interest here is a quantified atom that is "messy"
only because it has greediness opposite to what preceded it (whereas
captures and backrefs are intrinsically messy).  In this case we don't
need an iteration node, since we don't care where the sub-matches of
the quantifier are; and we might also not need a second concatenation
node.  This seems of only marginal real-world use according to my

Tom Lane 0c3405cf11 Improve performance of regular expression back-references.
In some cases, at the time that we're doing an NFA-based precheck
of whether a backref subexpression can match at a particular place
in the string, we already know which substring the referenced
subexpression matched.  If so, we might as well forget about the NFA
and just compare the substring; this is faster and it gives an exact
rather than approximate answer.

In general, this optimization can help while we are prechecking within
the second child expression of a concat node, while the capture was
within the first child expression; then the substring was saved during
cdissect() of the first child and will be available to NFA checks done
while cdissect() recurses into the second child.  It can help quite a
lot if the tree looks like

              concat
             /      \
      capture        concat
                    /      \
     expensive stuff        backref

as we will be able to avoid recursively dissecting the "expensive
stuff" before discovering that the backref isn't satisfied with a
particular midpoint that the lower concat node is testing.  This
doesn't help if the concat tree is left-deep, as the capture node
won't get set soon enough (and it's hard to fix that without changing
the engine's match behavior).  Fortunately, right-deep concat trees
are the common case.

Tom Lane 4aea704a5b Fix semantics of regular expression back-references.
POSIX defines the behavior of back-references thus:

    The back-reference expression '\n' shall match the same (possibly
    empty) string of characters as was matched by a subexpression
    enclosed between "\(" and "\)" preceding the '\n'.

As far as I can see, the back-reference is supposed to consider only
the data characters matched by the referenced subexpression.  However,
because our engine copies the NFA constructed from the referenced
subexpression, it effectively enforces any constraints therein, too.
As an example, '(^.)\1' ought to match 'xx', or any other string
starting with two occurrences of the same character; but in our code
it does not, and indeed can't match anything, because the '^' anchor
constraint is included in the backref's copied NFA.  If POSIX intended
that, you'd think they'd mention it.  Perl for one doesn't act that
way, so it's hard to conclude that this isn't a bug.

Fix by modifying the backref's NFA immediately after it's copied from
the reference, replacing all constraint arcs by EMPTY arcs so that the
constraints are treated as automatically satisfied.  This still allows
us to enforce matching rules that depend only on the data characters;
for example, in '(^\d+).*\1' the NFA matching step will still know
that the backref can only match strings of digits.

Perhaps surprisingly, this change does not affect the results of any
of a rather large corpus of real-world regexes.  Nonetheless, I would
not consider back-patching it, since it's a clear compatibility break.

that way because we can't distinguish between the cases where we have not
decoded the prepare because it was prior to consistent snapshot or we have
decoded it earlier but restarted. To distinguish between these two cases,
we have introduced an initial_consistent_point at the slot level which is
an LSN at which we found a consistent point at the time of slot creation.

Thomas Munro 83709a0d5a Use SIGURG rather than SIGUSR1 for latches.
Traditionally, SIGUSR1 has been overloaded for ad-hoc signals,
procsignal.c signals and latch.c wakeups.  Move that last use over to a
new dedicated signal.  SIGURG is normally used to report out-of-band
socket data, but PostgreSQL doesn't use that facility.

The signal handler is now installed in all postmaster children by
InitializeLatchSupport().  Those wishing to disconnect from it should
call ShutdownLatchSupport().

Future patches will use this separation of signals to avoid the need for
a signal handler on some operating systems.

David Rowley bb437f995d Add TID Range Scans to support efficient scanning ranges of TIDs
This adds a new executor node named TID Range Scan.  The query planner
will generate paths for TID Range scans when quals are discovered on base
relations which search for ranges on the table's ctid column.  These
ranges may be open at either end. For example, WHERE ctid >= '(10,0)';
will return all tuples on page 10 and over.

To support this, two new optional callback functions have been added to
table AM.  scan_set_tidrange is used to set the scan range to just the
given range of TIDs.  scan_getnextslot_tidrange fetches the next tuple
in the given range.

For AMs were scanning ranges of TIDs would not make sense, these functions
can be set to NULL in the TableAmRoutine.  The query planner won't
generate TID Range Scan Paths in that case.

Tom Lane 0fc1af174c Improve memory management in regex compiler.
The previous logic here created a separate pool of arcs for each
state, so that the out-arcs of each state were physically stored
within it.  Perhaps this choice was driven by trying to not include
a "from" pointer within each arc; but Spencer gave up on that idea
long ago, and it's hard to see what the value is now.  The approach
turns out to be fairly disastrous in terms of memory consumption,
though.  In the first place, NFAs built by this engine seem to have
about 4 arcs per state on average, with a majority having only one
or two out-arcs.  So pre-allocating 10 out-arcs for each state is
already cause for a factor of two or more bloat.  Worse, the NFA
optimization phase moves arcs around with abandon.  In a large NFA,
some of the states will have hundreds of out-arcs, so towards the
end of the optimization phase we have a significant number of states
whose arc pools have room for hundreds of arcs each, even though only
a few of those arcs are in use.  We have seen real-world regexes in
which this effect bloats the memory requirement by 25X or even more.

Hence, get rid of the per-state arc pools in favor of a single arc
pool for the whole NFA, with variable-sized allocation batches
instead of always asking for 10 at a time.  While we're at it,
let's batch the allocations of state structs too, to further reduce
the malloc traffic.

This incidentally allows moveouts() to be optimized in a similar
way to moveins(): when moving an arc to another state, it's now
valid to just re-link the same arc struct into a different outchain,
where before the code invariants required us to make a physically
new arc and then free the old one.

These changes reduce the regex compiler's typical space consumption
for average-size regexes by about a factor of two, and much more for
large or complicated regexes.  In a large test set of real-world
regexes, we formerly had half a dozen cases that failed with "regular
expression too complex" due to exceeding the REG_MAX_COMPILE_SPACE
limit (about 150MB); we would have had to raise that limit to
something close to 400MB to make them work with the old code.  Now,
none of those cases need more than 13MB to compile.  Furthermore,
the test set is about 10% faster overall due to less malloc traffic.

Peter Geoghegan 2376361839 VACUUM VERBOSE: Count "newly deleted" index pages.
Teach VACUUM VERBOSE to report on pages deleted by the _current_ VACUUM
operation -- these are newly deleted pages.  VACUUM VERBOSE continues to
report on the total number of deleted pages in the entire index (no
change there).  The former is a subset of the latter.

The distinction between each category of deleted index page only arises
with index AMs where page deletion is supported and is decoupled from
page recycling for performance reasons.

This is follow-up work to commit e5d8a999, which made nbtree store
64-bit XIDs (not 32-bit XIDs) in pages at the point at which they're
deleted.  Note that the btm_last_cleanup_num_delpages metapage field
added by that commit usually gets set to pages_newly_deleted.  The
exceptions (the scenarios in which they're not equal) all seem to be
tricky cases for the implementation (of page deletion and recycling) in
general.

Tom Lane 7dc13a0f08 Change regex \D and \W shorthands to always match newlines.
Newline is certainly not a digit, nor a word character, so it is
sensible that it should match these complemented character classes.
Previously, \D and \W acted that way by default, but in
newline-sensitive mode ('n' or 'p' flag) they did not match newlines.

This behavior was previously forced because explicit complemented
character classes don't match newlines in newline-sensitive mode;
but as of the previous commit that implementation constraint no
longer exists.  It seems useful to change this because the primary
real-world use for newline-sensitive mode seems to be to match the
default behavior of other regex engines such as Perl and Javascript
... and their default behavior is that these match newlines.

The old behavior can be kept by writing an explicit complemented
character class, i.e. [^[:digit:]] or [^[:word:]].  (This means
that \D and \W are not exactly equivalent to those strings, but
they weren't anyway.)

Tom Lane 2a0af7fe46 Allow complemented character class escapes within regex brackets.
The complement-class escapes \D, \S, \W are now allowed within
bracket expressions.  There is no semantic difficulty with doing
that, but the rather hokey macro-expansion-based implementation
previously used here couldn't cope.

Also, invent "word" as an allowed character class name, thus "\w"
is now equivalent to "[[:word:]]" outside brackets, or "[:word:]"
within brackets.  POSIX allows such implementation-specific
extensions, and the same name is used in e.g. bash.

One surprising compatibility issue this raises is that constructs
such as "[\w-_]" are now disallowed, as our documentation has always
said they should be: character classes can't be endpoints of a range.
Previously, because \w was just a macro for "[:alnum:]_", such a
construct was read as "[[:alnum:]_-_]", so it was accepted so long as
the character after "-" was numerically greater than or equal to "_".

Some implementation cleanup along the way:

* Remove the lexnest() hack, and in consequence clean up wordchrs()
to not interact with the lexer.

* Fix colorcomplement() to not be O(N^2) in the number of colors
involved.

* Get rid of useless-as-far-as-I-can-see calls of element()
on single-character character element names in brackpart().
element() always maps these to the character itself, and things
would be quite broken if it didn't --- should "[a]" match something
different than "a" does?  Besides, the shortcut path in brackpart()
wasn't doing this anyway, making it even more inconsistent.

Peter Geoghegan e5d8a99903 Use full 64-bit XIDs in deleted nbtree pages.
Otherwise we risk "leaking" deleted pages by making them non-recyclable
indefinitely.  Commit 6655a729 did the same thing for deleted pages in
GiST indexes.  That work was used as a starting point here.

Stop storing an XID indicating the oldest bpto.xact across all deleted
though unrecycled pages in nbtree metapages.  There is no longer any
reason to care about that condition/the oldest XID.  It only ever made
sense when wraparound was something _bt_vacuum_needs_cleanup() had to
consider.

The btm_oldest_btpo_xact metapage field has been repurposed and renamed.
It is now btm_last_cleanup_num_delpages, which is used to remember how
many non-recycled deleted pages remain from the last VACUUM (in practice
its value is usually the precise number of pages that were _newly
deleted_ during the specific VACUUM operation that last set the field).

The general idea behind storing btm_last_cleanup_num_delpages is to use
it to give _some_ consideration to non-recycled deleted pages inside
_bt_vacuum_needs_cleanup() -- though never too much.  We only really
need to avoid leaving a truly excessive number of deleted pages in an
unrecycled state forever.  We only do this to cover certain narrow cases
where no other factor makes VACUUM do a full scan, and yet the index
continues to grow (and so actually misses out on recycling existing
deleted pages).

These metapage changes result in a clear user-visible benefit: We no
longer trigger full index scans during VACUUM operations solely due to
the presence of only 1 or 2 known deleted (though unrecycled) blocks
from a very large index.  All that matters now is keeping the costs and
benefits in balance over time.

Fix an issue that has been around since commit 857f9c36, which added the
"skip full scan of index" mechanism (i.e. the _bt_vacuum_needs_cleanup()
logic).  The accuracy of btm_last_cleanup_num_heap_tuples accidentally
hinged upon _when_ the source value gets stored.  We now always store
btm_last_cleanup_num_heap_tuples in btvacuumcleanup().  This fixes the
issue because IndexVacuumInfo.num_heap_tuples (the source field) is
expected to accurately indicate the state of the table _after_ the
VACUUM completes inside btvacuumcleanup().

A backpatchable fix cannot easily be extracted from this commit.  A
targeted fix for the issue will follow in a later commit, though that
won't happen today.

I (pgeoghegan) have chosen to remove any mention of deleted pages in the
documentation of the vacuum_cleanup_index_scale_factor GUC/param, since
the presence of deleted (though unrecycled) pages is no longer of much
concern to users.  The vacuum_cleanup_index_scale_factor description in
the docs now seems rather unclear in any case, and it should probably be
rewritten in the near future.  Perhaps some passing mention of page
deletion will be added back at the same time.

Bump XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC due to nbtree WAL records using full XIDs now.

because we know those transactions are not going to examine any other

on indexes that are neither partial nor expressional).
