Revert "Fix replay of create database records on standby"
This reverts commit 49d9cfc68b.  The approach taken by this patch has
problems, so we'll come up with a radically different fix.

Add support for MERGE SQL command
MERGE performs actions that modify rows in the target table using a
source table or query. MERGE provides a single SQL statement that can
conditionally INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE rows -- a task that would otherwise
require multiple PL statements.  For example,

MERGE INTO target AS t
USING source AS s
ON t.tid = s.sid
WHEN MATCHED AND t.balance > s.delta THEN
  UPDATE SET balance = t.balance - s.delta
WHEN MATCHED THEN
  DELETE
WHEN NOT MATCHED AND s.delta > 0 THEN
  INSERT VALUES (s.sid, s.delta)
WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN
  DO NOTHING;

MERGE works with regular tables, partitioned tables and inheritance
hierarchies, including column and row security enforcement, as well as
support for row and statement triggers and transition tables therein.

MERGE is optimized for OLTP and is parameterizable, though also useful
for large scale ETL/ELT. MERGE is not intended to be used in preference
to existing single SQL commands for INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE since there
is some overhead.  MERGE can be used from PL/pgSQL.

MERGE does not support targetting updatable views or foreign tables, and
RETURNING clauses are not allowed either.  These limitations are likely
fixable with sufficient effort.  Rewrite rules are also not supported,
but it's not clear that we'd want to support them.

Fix replay of create database records on standby
Crash recovery on standby may encounter missing directories when
replaying create database WAL records.  Prior to this patch, the standby
would fail to recover in such a case.  However, the directories could be
legitimately missing.  Consider a sequence of WAL records as follows:

    CREATE DATABASE
    DROP DATABASE
    DROP TABLESPACE

If, after replaying the last WAL record and removing the tablespace
directory, the standby crashes and has to replay the create database
record again, the crash recovery must be able to move on.

This patch adds a mechanism similar to invalid-page tracking, to keep a
tally of missing directories during crash recovery.  If all the missing
directory references are matched with corresponding drop records at the
end of crash recovery, the standby can safely continue following the
primary.

Backpatch to 13, at least for now.  The bug is older, but fixing it in
older branches requires more careful study of the interactions with
commit e6d8069522, which appeared in 13.

A new TAP test file is added to verify the condition.  However, because
it depends on commit d6d317dbf6, it can only be added to branch
master.  I (Álvaro) manually verified that the code behaves as expected
in branch 14.  It's a bit nervous-making to leave the code uncovered by
tests in older branches, but leaving the bug unfixed is even worse.
Also, the main reason this fix took so long is precisely that we
couldn't agree on a good strategy to approach testing for the bug, so
perhaps this is the best we can do.

Michael Paquier d4781d8873 Refactor code related to pg_hba_file_rules() into new file
hba.c is growing big, and more contents are planned for it.  In order to
prepare for this future work, this commit moves all the code related to
the system function processing the contents of pg_hba.conf,
pg_hba_file_rules() to a new file called hbafuncs.c, which will be used
as the location for the SQL portion of the authentication file parsing.
While on it, HbaToken, the structure holding a string token lexed from a
configuration file related to authentication, is renamed to a more
generic AuthToken, as it gets used not only for pg_hba.conf, but also
for pg_ident.conf.  TokenizedLine is now named TokenizedAuthLine.

The size of hba.c is reduced by ~12%.

Thomas Munro 3f1ce97346 Add circular WAL decoding buffer, take II.
Teach xlogreader.c to decode the WAL into a circular buffer.  This will
support optimizations based on looking ahead, to follow in a later
commit.

 * XLogReadRecord() works as before, decoding records one by one, and
   allowing them to be examined via the traditional XLogRecGetXXX()
   macros and certain traditional members like xlogreader->ReadRecPtr.

 * An alternative new interface XLogReadAhead()/XLogNextRecord() is
   added that returns pointers to DecodedXLogRecord objects so that it's
   now possible to look ahead in the WAL stream while replaying.

 * In order to be able to use the new interface effectively while
   streaming data, support is added for the page_read() callback to
   respond to a new nonblocking mode with XLREAD_WOULDBLOCK instead of
   waiting for more data to arrive.

No direct user of the new interface is included in this commit, though
XLogReadRecord() uses it internally.  Existing code doesn't need to
change, except in a few places where it was accessing reader internals
directly and now needs to go through accessor macros.

ExecUpdateEpilogue, and similar for ExecDelete.

Introduce a new struct to be used internally in nodeModifyTable.c,
dubbed ModifyTableContext, which contains all context information needed

This allows using a different schedule and a different way of evaluating

ExecDelete proper shorter and (hopefully) simpler.

Andres Freund 352d297dc7 dshash: Add sequential scan support.
Add ability to scan all entries sequentially to dshash. The interface is
similar but a bit different both from that of dynahash and simple dshash
search functions. The most significant differences is that dshash's interfac
always needs a call to dshash_seq_term when scan ends. Another is
locking. Dshash holds partition lock when returning an entry,
dshash_seq_next() also holds lock when returning an entry but callers
shouldn't release it, since the lock is essential to continue a scan. The
seqscan interface allows entry deletion while a scan is in progress using
dshash_delete_current().

Amit Kapila 7a85073290 Reconsider pg_stat_subscription_workers view.
It was decided (refer to the Discussion link below) that the stats
collector is not an appropriate place to store the error information of
subscription workers.

This patch changes the pg_stat_subscription_workers view (introduced by
commit 8d74fc96db) so that it stores only statistics counters:
apply_error_count and sync_error_count, and has one entry for
each subscription. The removed error information such as error-XID and
the error message would be stored in another way in the future which is
more reliable and persistent.

After removing these error details, there is no longer any relation
information, so the subscription statistics are now a cluster-wide
statistics.

The patch also changes the view name to pg_stat_subscription_stats since
the word "worker" is an implementation detail that we use one worker for
one tablesync and one apply.

Amit Kapila 52e4f0cd47 Allow specifying row filters for logical replication of tables.
This feature adds row filtering for publication tables. When a publication
is defined or modified, an optional WHERE clause can be specified. Rows
that don't satisfy this WHERE clause will be filtered out. This allows a
set of tables to be partially replicated. The row filter is per table. A
new row filter can be added simply by specifying a WHERE clause after the
table name. The WHERE clause must be enclosed by parentheses.

The row filter WHERE clause for a table added to a publication that
publishes UPDATE and/or DELETE operations must contain only columns that
are covered by REPLICA IDENTITY. The row filter WHERE clause for a table
added to a publication that publishes INSERT can use any column. If the
row filter evaluates to NULL, it is regarded as "false". The WHERE clause
only allows simple expressions that don't have user-defined functions,
user-defined operators, user-defined types, user-defined collations,
non-immutable built-in functions, or references to system columns. These
restrictions could be addressed in the future.

If you choose to do the initial table synchronization, only data that
satisfies the row filters is copied to the subscriber. If the subscription
has several publications in which a table has been published with
different WHERE clauses, rows that satisfy ANY of the expressions will be
copied. If a subscriber is a pre-15 version, the initial table
synchronization won't use row filters even if they are defined in the
publisher.

The row filters are applied before publishing the changes. If the
subscription has several publications in which the same table has been
published with different filters (for the same publish operation), those
expressions get OR'ed together so that rows satisfying any of the
expressions will be replicated.

This means all the other filters become redundant if (a) one of the
publications have no filter at all, (b) one of the publications was
created using FOR ALL TABLES, (c) one of the publications was created
using FOR ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA and the table belongs to that same schema.

If your publication contains a partitioned table, the publication
parameter publish_via_partition_root determines if it uses the partition's
row filter (if the parameter is false, the default) or the root
partitioned table's row filter.

Psql commands \dRp+ and \d <table-name> will display any row filters.

Alexander Korotkov f1ea98a797 Reduce non-leaf keys overlap in GiST indexes produced by a sorted build
The GiST sorted build currently chooses split points according to the only page
space utilization.  That may lead to higher non-leaf keys overlap and, in turn,
slower search query answers.

This commit makes the sorted build use the opclass's picksplit method.  Once
four pages at the level are accumulated, the picksplit method is applied until
each split partition fits the page.  Some of our split algorithms could show
significant performance degradation while processing 4-times more data at once.
But those opclasses haven't received the sorted build support and shouldn't
receive it before their split algorithms are improved.

Michael Paquier 5513dc6a30 Improve error handling of HMAC computations
This is similar to b69aba7, except that this completes the work for
HMAC with a new routine called pg_hmac_error() that would provide more
context about the type of error that happened during a HMAC computation:
- The fallback HMAC implementation in hmac.c relies on cryptohashes, so
in some code paths it is necessary to return back the error generated by
cryptohashes.
- For the OpenSSL implementation (hmac_openssl.c), the logic is very
similar to cryptohash_openssl.c, where the error context comes from
OpenSSL if one of its internal routines failed, with different error
codes if something internal to hmac_openssl.c failed or was incorrect.

Any in-core code paths that use the centralized HMAC interface are
related to SCRAM, for errors that are unlikely going to happen, with
only SHA-256.  It would be possible to see errors when computing some
HMACs with MD5 for example and OpenSSL FIPS enabled, and this commit
would help in reporting the correct errors but nothing in core uses
that.  So, at the end, no backpatch to v14 is done, at least for now.

Errors in SCRAM related to the computation of the server key, stored
key, etc. need to pass down the potential error context string across
more layers of their respective call stacks for the frontend and the
backend, so each surrounding routine is adapted for this purpose.

Michael Paquier b69aba7457 Improve error handling of cryptohash computations
The existing cryptohash facility was causing problems in some code paths
related to MD5 (frontend and backend) that relied on the fact that the
only type of error that could happen would be an OOM, as the MD5
implementation used in PostgreSQL ~13 (the in-core implementation is
used when compiling with or without OpenSSL in those older versions),
could fail only under this circumstance.

The new cryptohash facilities can fail for reasons other than OOMs, like
attempting MD5 when FIPS is enabled (upstream OpenSSL allows that up to
1.0.2, Fedora and Photon patch OpenSSL 1.1.1 to allow that), so this
would cause incorrect reports to show up.

This commit extends the cryptohash APIs so as callers of those routines
can fetch more context when an error happens, by using a new routine
called pg_cryptohash_error().  The error states are stored within each
implementation's internal context data, so as it is possible to extend
the logic depending on what's suited for an implementation.  The default
implementation requires few error states, but OpenSSL could report
various issues depending on its internal state so more is needed in
cryptohash_openssl.c, and the code is shaped so as we are always able to
grab the necessary information.

The core code is changed to adapt to the new error routine, painting
more "const" across the call stack where the static errors are stored,
particularly in authentication code paths on variables that provide
log details.  This way, any future changes would warn if attempting to
free these strings.  The MD5 authentication code was also a bit blurry
about the handling of "logdetail" (LOG sent to the postmaster), so
improve the comments related that, while on it.

The origin of the problem is 87ae969, that introduced the centralized
cryptohash facility.  Extra changes are done for pgcrypto in v14 for the
non-OpenSSL code path to cope with the improvements done by this
commit.

Michael Paquier d62bcc8b07 Rework compression options of pg_receivewal
pg_receivewal includes since cada1af the option --compress, to allow the
compression of WAL segments using gzip, with a value of 0 (the default)
meaning that no compression can be used.

This commit introduces a new option, called --compression-method, able
to use as values "none", the default, and "gzip", to make things more
extensible.  The case of --compress=0 becomes fuzzy with this option
layer, so we have made the choice to make pg_receivewal return an error
when using "none" and a non-zero compression level, meaning that the
authorized values of --compress are now [1,9] instead of [0,9].  Not
specifying --compress with "gzip" as compression method makes
pg_receivewal use the default of zlib instead (Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION).

The code in charge of finding the streaming start LSN when scanning the
existing archives is refactored and made more extensible.  While on it,
rename "compression" to "compression_level" in walmethods.c, to reduce
the confusion with the introduction of the compression method, even if
the tar method used by pg_basebackup does not rely on the compression
method (yet, at least), but just on the compression level (this area
could be improved more, actually).

This is in preparation for an upcoming patch that adds LZ4 support to
pg_receivewal.

Fix WAL replay in presence of an incomplete record
Physical replication always ships WAL segment files to replicas once
they are complete.  This is a problem if one WAL record is split across
a segment boundary and the primary server crashes before writing down
the segment with the next portion of the WAL record: WAL writing after
crash recovery would happily resume at the point where the broken record
started, overwriting that record ... but any standby or backup may have
already received a copy of that segment, and they are not rewinding.
This causes standbys to stop following the primary after the latter
crashes:
  LOG:  invalid contrecord length 7262 at A8/D9FFFBC8
because the standby is still trying to read the continuation record
(contrecord) for the original long WAL record, but it is not there and
it will never be.  A workaround is to stop the replica, delete the WAL
file, and restart it -- at which point a fresh copy is brought over from
the primary.  But that's pretty labor intensive, and I bet many users
would just give up and re-clone the standby instead.

A fix for this problem was already attempted in commit 515e3d84a0, but
it only addressed the case for the scenario of WAL archiving, so
streaming replication would still be a problem (as well as other things
such as taking a filesystem-level backup while the server is down after
having crashed), and it had performance scalability problems too; so it
had to be reverted.

This commit fixes the problem using an approach suggested by Andres
Freund, whereby the initial portion(s) of the split-up WAL record are
kept, and a special type of WAL record is written where the contrecord
was lost, so that WAL replay in the replica knows to skip the broken
parts.  With this approach, we can continue to stream/archive segment
files as soon as they are complete, and replay of the broken records
will proceed across the crash point without a hitch.

Because a new type of WAL record is added, users should be careful to
upgrade standbys first, primaries later. Otherwise they risk the standby
being unable to start if the primary happens to write such a record.

A new TAP test that exercises this is added, but the portability of it
is yet to be seen.

This has been wrong since the introduction of physical replication, so
backpatch all the way back.  In stable branches, keep the new
XLogReaderState members at the end of the struct, to avoid an ABI
break.

Andres Freund 37a9aa6591 Fix performance regression from session statistics.
Session statistics, as introduced by 960869da08, had several shortcomings:

- an additional GetCurrentTimestamp() call that also impaired the accuracy of
  the data collected

  This can be avoided by passing the current timestamp we already have in
  pgstat_report_stat().

- an additional statistics UDP packet sent every 500ms

  This is solved by adding the new statistics to PgStat_MsgTabstat.
  This is conceptually ugly, because session statistics are not
  table statistics.  But the struct already contains data unrelated
  to tables, so there is not much damage done.

  Connection and disconnection are reported in separate messages, which
  reduces the number of additional messages to two messages per session and a
  slight increase in PgStat_MsgTabstat size (but the same number of table
  stats fit).

- Session time computation could overflow on systems where long is 32 bit.

Previously, on the subscriber, we set the error context callback for the

context callback with a comprehensive one so that it shows not only the
details of data conversion failures but also the details of logical change
being applied by the apply worker or table sync worker. The additional
information displayed will be the command, transaction id, and timestamp.

The error context is added to an error only when applying a change but not
while doing other work like receiving data etc.

This will help users in diagnosing the problems that occur during logical
replication. It also can be used for future work that allows skipping a

Amit Kapila a8fd13cab0 Add support for prepared transactions to built-in logical replication.
To add support for streaming transactions at prepare time into the
built-in logical replication, we need to do the following things:

* Modify the output plugin (pgoutput) to implement the new two-phase API
callbacks, by leveraging the extended replication protocol.

* Modify the replication apply worker, to properly handle two-phase
transactions by replaying them on prepare.

* Add a new SUBSCRIPTION option "two_phase" to allow users to enable
two-phase transactions. We enable the two_phase once the initial data sync
is over.

We however must explicitly disable replication of two-phase transactions
during replication slot creation, even if the plugin supports it. We
don't need to replicate the changes accumulated during this phase,
and moreover, we don't have a replication connection open so we don't know
where to send the data anyway.

The streaming option is not allowed with this new two_phase option. This
can be done as a separate patch.

We don't allow to toggle two_phase option of a subscription because it can
lead to an inconsistent replica. For the same reason, we don't allow to
refresh the publication once the two_phase is enabled for a subscription
unless copy_data option is false.

Michael Paquier 9fd85570d1 Refactor SASL code with a generic interface for its mechanisms
The code of SCRAM and SASL have been tightly linked together since SCRAM
exists in the core code, making hard to apprehend the addition of new
SASL mechanisms, but these are by design different facilities, with
SCRAM being an option for SASL.  This refactors the code related to both
so as the backend and the frontend use a set of callbacks for SASL
mechanisms, documenting while on it what is expected by anybody adding a
new SASL mechanism.

The separation between both layers is neat, using two sets of callbacks
for the frontend and the backend to mark the frontier between both
facilities.  The shape of the callbacks is now directly inspired from
the routines used by SCRAM, so the code change is straight-forward, and
the SASL code is moved into its own set of files.  These will likely
change depending on how and if new SASL mechanisms get added in the
future.

Michael Paquier 4035cd5d4e Add support for LZ4 with compression of full-page writes in WAL
The logic is implemented so as there can be a choice in the compression
used when building a WAL record, and an extra per-record bit is used to
track down if a block is compressed with PGLZ, LZ4 or nothing.

wal_compression, the existing parameter, is changed to an enum with
support for the following backward-compatible values:
- "off", the default, to not use compression.
- "pglz" or "on", to compress FPWs with PGLZ.
- "lz4", the new mode, to compress FPWs with LZ4.

Benchmarking has showed that LZ4 outclasses easily PGLZ.  ZSTD would be
also an interesting choice, but going just with LZ4 for now makes the
patch minimalistic as toast compression is already able to use LZ4, so
there is no need to worry about any build-related needs for this

Amit Kapila 3fa17d3771 Use HTAB for replication slot statistics.
Previously, we used to use the array of size max_replication_slots to
store stats for replication slots. But that had two problems in the cases
where a message for dropping a slot gets lost: 1) the stats for the new
slot are not recorded if the array is full and 2) writing beyond the end
of the array if the user reduces the max_replication_slots.

This commit uses HTAB for replication slot statistics, resolving both
problems. Now, pgstat_vacuum_stat() search for all the dead replication
slots in stats hashtable and tell the collector to remove them. To avoid
showing the stats for the already-dropped slots, pg_stat_replication_slots
view searches slot stats by the slot name taken from pg_replication_slots.

Also, we send a message for creating a slot at slot creation, initializing
the stats. This reduces the possibility that the stats are accumulated
into the old slot stats when a message for dropping a slot gets lost.

Fujii Masao 8ff1c94649 Allow TRUNCATE command to truncate foreign tables.
This commit introduces new foreign data wrapper API for TRUNCATE.
It extends TRUNCATE command so that it accepts foreign tables as
the targets to truncate and invokes that API. Also it extends postgres_fdw
so that it can issue TRUNCATE command to foreign servers, by adding
new routine for that TRUNCATE API.

The information about options specified in TRUNCATE command, e.g.,
ONLY, CACADE, etc is passed to FDW via API. The list of foreign tables to
truncate is also passed to FDW. FDW truncates the foreign data sources
that the passed foreign tables specify, based on those information.
For example, postgres_fdw constructs TRUNCATE command using them
and issues it to the foreign server.

For performance, TRUNCATE command invokes the FDW routine for
TRUNCATE once per foreign server that foreign tables to truncate belong to.

For now, this is done with posix_fadvise(), which has several caveats.
Better mechanisms will follow in later work on the I/O subsystem.

The GUC maintenance_io_concurrency is used to limit the number of
concurrent I/Os we allow ourselves to initiate, based on pessimistic
heuristics used to infer that I/Os have begun and completed.

The GUC wal_decode_buffer_size is used to limit the maximum distance we
are prepared to read ahead in the WAL to find uncached blocks.

Robert Haas ec7ffb8096 amcheck: fix multiple problems with TOAST pointer validation
First, don't perform database access while holding a buffer lock.
When checking a heap, we can validate that TOAST pointers are sane by
performing a scan on the TOAST index and looking up the chunks that
correspond to each value ID that appears in a TOAST poiner in the main
table. But, to do that while holding a buffer lock at least risks
causing other backends to wait uninterruptibly, and probably can cause
undetected and uninterruptible deadlocks.  So, instead, make a list of
checks to perform while holding the lock, and then perform the checks
after releasing it.

Second, adjust things so that we don't try to follow TOAST pointers
for tuples that are already eligible to be pruned. The TOAST tuples
become eligible for pruning at the same time that the main tuple does,
so trying to check them may lead to spurious reports of corruption,
as observed in the buildfarm. The necessary infrastructure to decide
whether or not the tuple being checked is prunable was added by
commit 3b6c1259f9, but it wasn't
actually used for its intended purpose prior to this patch.

Mark Dilger, adjusted by me to avoid a memory leak.

Peter Geoghegan 8523492d4e Remove tupgone special case from vacuumlazy.c.
Retry the call to heap_prune_page() in rare cases where there is
disagreement between the heap_prune_page() call and the call to
HeapTupleSatisfiesVacuum() that immediately follows.  Disagreement is
possible when a concurrently-aborted transaction makes a tuple DEAD
during the tiny window between each step.  This was the only case where
a tuple considered DEAD by VACUUM still had storage following pruning.
VACUUM's definition of dead tuples is now uniformly simple and
unambiguous: dead tuples from each page are always LP_DEAD line pointers
that were encountered just after we performed pruning (and just before
we considered freezing remaining items with tuple storage).

Eliminating the tupgone=true special case enables INDEX_CLEANUP=off
style skipping of index vacuuming that takes place based on flexible,
dynamic criteria.  The INDEX_CLEANUP=off case had to know about skipping
indexes up-front before now, due to a subtle interaction with the
special case (see commit dd695979) -- this was a special case unto
itself.  Now there are no special cases.  And so now it won't matter
when or how we decide to skip index vacuuming: it won't affect how
pruning behaves, and it won't be affected by any of the implementation
details of pruning or freezing.

Also remove XLOG_HEAP2_CLEANUP_INFO records.  These are no longer
necessary because we now rely entirely on heap pruning taking care of
recovery conflicts.  There is no longer any need to generate recovery
conflicts for DEAD tuples that pruning just missed.  This also means
that heap vacuuming now uses exactly the same strategy for recovery
conflicts as index vacuuming always has: REDO routines never need to
process a latestRemovedXid from the WAL record, since earlier REDO of
the WAL record from pruning is sufficient in all cases.  The generic
XLOG_HEAP2_CLEAN record type is now split into two new record types to
reflect this new division (these are called XLOG_HEAP2_PRUNE and
XLOG_HEAP2_VACUUM).

Also stop acquiring a super-exclusive lock for heap pages when they're
vacuumed during VACUUM's second heap pass.  A regular exclusive lock is
enough.  This is correct because heap page vacuuming is now strictly a
matter of setting the LP_DEAD line pointers to LP_UNUSED.  No other
backend can have a pointer to a tuple located in a pinned buffer that
can be invalidated by a concurrent heap page vacuum operation.

Heap vacuuming can now be thought of as conceptually similar to index
vacuuming and conceptually dissimilar to heap pruning.  Heap pruning now
has sole responsibility for anything involving the logical contents of
the database (e.g., managing transaction status information, recovery
conflicts, considering what to do with HOT chains).  Index vacuuming and
heap vacuuming are now only concerned with recycling garbage items from
physical data structures that back the logical database.

Bump XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC due to pruning and heap page vacuum WAL record
changes.

Credit for the idea of retrying pruning a page to avoid the tupgone case
goes to Andres Freund.

Michael Paquier e6bdfd9700 Refactor HMAC implementations
Similarly to the cryptohash implementations, this refactors the existing
HMAC code into a single set of APIs that can be plugged with any crypto
libraries PostgreSQL is built with (only OpenSSL currently).  If there
is no such libraries, a fallback implementation is available.  Those new
APIs are designed similarly to the existing cryptohash layer, so there
is no real new design here, with the same logic around buffer bound
checks and memory handling.

HMAC has a dependency on cryptohashes, so all the cryptohash types
supported by cryptohash{_openssl}.c can be used with HMAC.  This
refactoring is an advantage mainly for SCRAM, that included its own
implementation of HMAC with SHA256 without relying on the existing
crypto libraries even if PostgreSQL was built with their support.

This code has been tested on Windows and Linux, with and without
OpenSSL, across all the versions supported on HEAD from 1.1.1 down to
1.0.1.  I have also checked that the implementations are working fine
using some sample results, a custom extension of my own, and doing
cross-checks across different major versions with SCRAM with the client
and the backend.

"INSERT INTO ... SELECT ..." which may incur non-negligible overhead in
the additional parallel-safety checks that it performs, even when, in the

normally only ever a problem in the case of when the target table has a
large number of partitions.

A new GUC option "enable_parallel_insert" is added, to allow insert in
parallel-mode. The default is on.

In addition to the GUC option, the user may want a mechanism to allow
inserts in parallel-mode with finer granularity at table level. The new
table option "parallel_insert_enabled" allows this. The default is true.

Fujii Masao d75288fb27 Make archiver process an auxiliary process.
This commit changes WAL archiver process so that it's treated as
an auxiliary process and can use shared memory. This is an infrastructure
patch required for upcoming shared-memory based stats collector patch
series. These patch series basically need any processes including archiver
that can report the statistics to access to shared memory. Since this patch
itself is useful to simplify the code and when users monitor the status of
archiver, it's committed separately in advance.

This commit simplifies the code for WAL archiving. For example, previously
backends need to signal to archiver via postmaster when they notify
archiver that there are some WAL files to archive. On the other hand,
this commit removes that signal to postmaster and enables backends to
notify archier directly using shared latch.

Also, as the side of this change, the information about archiver process
becomes viewable at pg_stat_activity view.

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.

Amit Kapila ce0fdbfe97 Allow multiple xacts during table sync in logical replication.
For the initial table data synchronization in logical replication, we use
a single transaction to copy the entire table and then synchronize the
position in the stream with the main apply worker.

There are multiple downsides of this approach: (a) We have to perform the
entire copy operation again if there is any error (network breakdown,
error in the database operation, etc.) while we synchronize the WAL
position between tablesync worker and apply worker; this will be onerous
especially for large copies, (b) Using a single transaction in the
synchronization-phase (where we can receive WAL from multiple
transactions) will have the risk of exceeding the CID limit, (c) The slot
will hold the WAL till the entire sync is complete because we never commit
till the end.

This patch solves all the above downsides by allowing multiple
transactions during the tablesync phase. The initial copy is done in a
single transaction and after that, we commit each transaction as we
receive. To allow recovery after any error or crash, we use a permanent
slot and origin to track the progress. The slot and origin will be removed
once we finish the synchronization of the table. We also remove slot and
origin of tablesync workers if the user performs DROP SUBSCRIPTION .. or
ALTER SUBSCRIPTION .. REFERESH and some of the table syncs are still not
finished.

The commands ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... REFRESH PUBLICATION and
ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... SET PUBLICATION ... with refresh option as true
cannot be executed inside a transaction block because they can now drop
the slots for which we have no provision to rollback.

This will also open up the path for logical replication of 2PC
transactions on the subscriber side. Previously, we can't do that because
of the requirement of maintaining a single transaction in tablesync
workers.

Michael Paquier a8ed6bb8f4 Introduce SHA1 implementations in the cryptohash infrastructure
With this commit, SHA1 goes through the implementation provided by
OpenSSL via EVP when building the backend with it, and uses as fallback
implementation KAME which was located in pgcrypto and already shaped for
an integration with a set of init, update and final routines.
Structures and routines have been renamed to make things consistent with
the fallback implementations of MD5 and SHA2.

uuid-ossp has used for ages a shortcut with pgcrypto to fetch a copy of
SHA1 if needed.  This was built depending on the build options within
./configure, so this cleans up some code and removes the build
dependency between pgcrypto and uuid-ossp.

Note that this will help with the refactoring of HMAC, as pgcrypto
offers the option to use MD5, SHA1 or SHA2, so only the second option
was missing to make that possible.

Michael Paquier 55fe26a4b5 Fix allocation logic of cryptohash context data with OpenSSL
The allocation of the cryptohash context data when building with OpenSSL
was happening in the memory context of the caller of
pg_cryptohash_create(), which could lead to issues with resowner cleanup
if cascading resources are cleaned up on an error.  Like other
facilities using resowners, move the base allocation to TopMemoryContext
to ensure a correct cleanup on failure.

The resulting code gets simpler with this commit as the context data is
now hold by a unique opaque pointer, so as there is only one single
allocation done in TopMemoryContext.

After discussion, also change the cryptohash subroutines to return an
error if the caller provides NULL for the context data to ease error

Amit Kapila 0aa8a01d04 Extend the output plugin API to allow decoding of prepared xacts.
This adds six methods to the output plugin API, adding support for
streaming changes of two-phase transactions at prepare time.

* begin_prepare
* filter_prepare
* prepare
* commit_prepared
* rollback_prepared
* stream_prepare

Most of this is a simple extension of the existing methods, with the
semantic difference that the transaction is not yet committed and maybe
aborted later.

Until now two-phase transactions were translated into regular transactions
on the subscriber, and the GID was not forwarded to it. None of the
two-phase commands were communicated to the subscriber.

This patch provides the infrastructure for logical decoding plugins to be
informed of two-phase commands Like PREPARE TRANSACTION, COMMIT PREPARED
and ROLLBACK PREPARED commands with the corresponding GID.

This also extends the 'test_decoding' plugin, implementing these new
methods.

This commit simply adds these new APIs and the upcoming patch to "allow
the decoding at prepare time in ReorderBuffer" will use these APIs.

Alexander Korotkov 6df7a9698b Multirange datatypes
Multiranges are basically sorted arrays of non-overlapping ranges with
set-theoretic operations defined over them.

Since v14, each range type automatically gets a corresponding multirange
datatype.  There are both manual and automatic mechanisms for naming multirange
types.  Once can specify multirange type name using multirange_type_name
attribute in CREATE TYPE.  Otherwise, a multirange type name is generated
automatically.  If the range type name contains "range" then we change that to
"multirange".  Otherwise, we add "_multirange" to the end.

Implementation of multiranges comes with a space-efficient internal
representation format, which evades extra paddings and duplicated storage of
oids.  Altogether this format allows fetching a particular range by its index
in O(n).

Statistic gathering and selectivity estimation are implemented for multiranges.
For this purpose, stored multirange is approximated as union range without gaps.
This field will likely need improvements in the future.

Michael Paquier b67b57a966 Refactor MD5 implementations according to new cryptohash infrastructure
This commit heavily reorganizes the MD5 implementations that exist in
the tree in various aspects.

First, MD5 is added to the list of options available in cryptohash.c and
cryptohash_openssl.c.  This means that if building with OpenSSL, EVP is
used for MD5 instead of the fallback implementation that Postgres had
for ages.  With the recent refactoring work for cryptohash functions,
this change is straight-forward.  If not building with OpenSSL, a
fallback implementation internal to src/common/ is used.

Second, this reduces the number of MD5 implementations present in the
tree from two to one, by moving the KAME implementation from pgcrypto to
src/common/, and by removing the implementation that existed in
src/common/.  KAME was already structured with an init/update/final set
of routines by pgcrypto (see original pgcrypto/md5.h) for compatibility
with OpenSSL, so moving it to src/common/ has proved to be a
straight-forward move, requiring no actual manipulation of the internals
of each routine.  Some benchmarking has not shown any performance gap
between both implementations.

Similarly to the fallback implementation used for SHA2, the fallback
implementation of MD5 is moved to src/common/md5.c with an internal
header called md5_int.h for the init, update and final routines.  This
gets then consumed by cryptohash.c.

The original routines used for MD5-hashed passwords are moved to a
separate file called md5_common.c, also in src/common/, aimed at being
shared between all MD5 implementations as utility routines to keep
compatibility with any code relying on them.

Like the SHA2 changes, this commit had its round of tests on both Linux
and Windows, across all versions of OpenSSL supported on HEAD, with and
even without OpenSSL.

Michael Paquier 4f48a6fbe2 Change SHA2 implementation based on OpenSSL to use EVP digest routines
The use of low-level hash routines is not recommended by upstream
OpenSSL since 2000, and pgcrypto already switched to EVP as of 5ff4a67.
This takes advantage of the refactoring done in 87ae969 that has
introduced the allocation and free routines for cryptographic hashes.

Since 1.1.0, OpenSSL does not publish the contents of the cryptohash
contexts, forcing any consumers to rely on OpenSSL for all allocations.
Hence, the resource owner callback mechanism gains a new set of routines
to track and free cryptohash contexts when using OpenSSL, preventing any
risks of leaks in the backend.  Nothing is needed in the frontend thanks
to the refactoring of 87ae969, and the resowner knowledge is isolated
into cryptohash_openssl.c.

Note that this also fixes a failure with SCRAM authentication when using
FIPS in OpenSSL, but as there have been few complaints about this
problem and as this causes an ABI breakage, no backpatch is done.

Michael Paquier 87ae9691d2 Move SHA2 routines to a new generic API layer for crypto hashes
Two new routines to allocate a hash context and to free it are created,
as these become necessary for the goal behind this refactoring: switch
the all cryptohash implementations for OpenSSL to use EVP (for FIPS and
also because upstream does not recommend the use of low-level cryptohash
functions for 20 years).  Note that OpenSSL hides the internals of
cryptohash contexts since 1.1.0, so it is necessary to leave the
allocation to OpenSSL itself, explaining the need for those two new
routines.  This part is going to require more work to properly track
hash contexts with resource owners, but this not introduced here.
Still, this refactoring makes the move possible.

This reduces the number of routines for all SHA2 implementations from
twelve (SHA{224,256,386,512} with init, update and final calls) to five
(create, free, init, update and final calls) by incorporating the hash
type directly into the hash context data.

The new cryptohash routines are moved to a new file, called cryptohash.c
for the fallback implementations, with SHA2 specifics becoming a part
internal to src/common/.  OpenSSL specifics are part of
cryptohash_openssl.c.  This infrastructure is usable for more hash
types, like MD5 or HMAC.

Any code paths using the internal SHA2 routines are adapted to report
correctly errors, which are most of the changes of this commit.  The
zones mostly impacted are checksum manifests, libpq and SCRAM.

Note that e21cbb4 was a first attempt to switch SHA2 to EVP, but it
lacked the refactoring needed for libpq, as done here.

This patch has been tested on Linux and Windows, with and without
OpenSSL, and down to 1.0.1, the oldest version supported on HEAD.

Fujii Masao 9fbc3f318d pg_stat_statements: Track number of times pgss entries were deallocated.
If more distinct statements than pg_stat_statements.max are observed,
pg_stat_statements entries about the least-executed statements are
deallocated. This commit enables us to track the total number of times
those entries were deallocated. That number can be viewed in the
pg_stat_statements_info view that this commit adds. It's useful when
tuning pg_stat_statements.max parameter. If it's high, i.e., the entries
are deallocated very frequently, which might cause the performance
regression and we can increase pg_stat_statements.max to avoid those
frequent deallocations.

The pg_stat_statements_info view is intended to display the statistics
of pg_stat_statements module itself. Currently it has only one column
"dealloc" indicating the number of times entries were deallocated.
But an upcoming patch will add other columns (for example, the time
at which pg_stat_statements statistics were last reset) into the view.

Michael Paquier f2b8839695 Add pg_relation_check_pages() to check on-disk pages of a relation
This makes use of CheckBuffer() introduced in c780a7a, adding a SQL
wrapper able to do checks for all the pages of a relation.  By default,
all the fork types of a relation are checked, and it is possible to
check only a given relation fork.  Note that if the relation given in
input has no physical storage or is temporary, then no errors are
generated, allowing full-database checks when coupled with a simple scan
of pg_class for example.  This is not limited to clusters with data
checksums enabled, as clusters without data checksums can still apply
checks on pages using the page headers or for the case of a page full of
zeros.

This function returns a set of tuples consisting of:
- The physical file where a broken page has been detected (without the
segment number as that can be AM-dependent, which can be guessed from
the block number for heap).  A relative path from PGPATH is used.
- The block number of the broken page.

By default, only superusers have an access to this function but
execution rights can be granted to other users.

The feature introduced here is still minimal, and more improvements
could be done, like:
- Addition of a start and end block number to run checks on a range
of blocks, which would apply only if one fork type is checked.
- Addition of some progress reporting.
- Throttling, with configuration parameters in function input or
potentially some cost-based GUCs.

Regression tests are added for positive cases in the main regression
test suite, and TAP tests are added for cases involving the emulation of
page corruptions.

Thomas Munro dee663f784 Defer flushing of SLRU files.
Previously, we called fsync() after writing out individual pg_xact,
pg_multixact and pg_commit_ts pages due to cache pressure, leading to
regular I/O stalls in user backends and recovery.  Collapse requests for
the same file into a single system call as part of the next checkpoint,
as we already did for relation files, using the infrastructure developed
by commit 3eb77eba.  This can cause a significant improvement to
recovery performance, especially when it's otherwise CPU-bound.

Hoist ProcessSyncRequests() up into CheckPointGuts() to make it clearer
that it applies to all the SLRU mini-buffer-pools as well as the main
buffer pool.  Rearrange things so that data collected in CheckpointStats
includes SLRU activity.

Also remove the Shutdown{CLOG,CommitTS,SUBTRANS,MultiXact}() functions,
because they were redundant after the shutdown checkpoint that
immediately precedes them.  (I'm not sure if they were ever needed, but
they aren't now.)

Robert Haas 34a947ca13 New contrib module, pg_surgery, with heap surgery functions.
Sometimes it happens that the visibility information for a tuple
becomes corrupted, either due to bugs in the database software or
external factors. Provide a function heap_force_kill() that can
be used to truncate such dead tuples to dead line pointers, and
a function heap_force_freeze() that can be used to overwrite the
visibility information in such a way that the tuple becomes
all-visible.

These functions are unsafe, in that you can easily use them to
corrupt a database that was not previously corrupted, and you can
use them to further corrupt an already-corrupted database or to
destroy data. The documentation accordingly cautions against
casual use. However, in some cases they permit recovery of data
that would otherwise be very difficult to recover, or to allow a
system to continue to function when it would otherwise be difficult
to do so.

Because we may want to add other functions for performing other
kinds of surgery in the future, the new contrib module is called
pg_surgery rather than something specific to these functions. I
proposed back-patching this so that it could be more easily used
by people running existing releases who are facing these kinds of
problems, but that proposal did not attract enough support, so
no back-patch for now.

Michael Paquier a6642b3ae0 Add support for partitioned tables and indexes in REINDEX
Until now, REINDEX was not able to work with partitioned tables and
indexes, forcing users to reindex partitions one by one.  This extends
REINDEX INDEX and REINDEX TABLE so as they can accept a partitioned
index and table in input, respectively, to reindex all the partitions
assigned to them with physical storage (foreign tables, partitioned
tables and indexes are then discarded).

This shares some logic with schema and database REINDEX as each
partition gets processed in its own transaction after building a list of
relations to work on.  This choice has the advantage to minimize the
number of invalid indexes to one partition with REINDEX CONCURRENTLY in
the event a cancellation or failure in-flight, as the only indexes
handled at once in a single REINDEX CONCURRENTLY loop are the ones from
the partition being working on.

Isolation tests are added to emulate some cases I bumped into while
developing this feature, particularly with the concurrent drop of a
leaf partition reindexed.  However, this is rather limited as LOCK would
cause REINDEX to block in the first transaction building the list of
partitions.

Per its multi-transaction nature, this new flavor cannot run in a
transaction block, similarly to REINDEX SCHEMA, SYSTEM and DATABASE.

Amit Kapila 464824323e Add support for streaming to built-in logical replication.
To add support for streaming of in-progress transactions into the
built-in logical replication, we need to do three things:

* Extend the logical replication protocol, so identify in-progress
transactions, and allow adding additional bits of information (e.g.
XID of subtransactions).

* Modify the output plugin (pgoutput) to implement the new stream
API callbacks, by leveraging the extended replication protocol.

* Modify the replication apply worker, to properly handle streamed
in-progress transaction by spilling the data to disk and then
replaying them on commit.

We however must explicitly disable streaming replication during
replication slot creation, even if the plugin supports it. We
don't need to replicate the changes accumulated during this phase,
and moreover we don't have a replication connection open so we
don't have where to send the data anyway.

Andres Freund 73487a60fc snapshot scalability: Move subxact info to ProcGlobal, remove PGXACT.
Similar to the previous changes this increases the chance that data
frequently needed by GetSnapshotData() stays in l2 cache. In many
workloads subtransactions are very rare, and this makes the check for
that considerably cheaper.

As this removes the last member of PGXACT, there is no need to keep it
around anymore.

On a larger 2 socket machine this and the two preceding commits result
in a ~1.07x performance increase in read-only pgbench. For read-heavy
mixed r/w workloads without row level contention, I see about 1.1x.

Andres Freund dc7420c2c9 snapshot scalability: Don't compute global horizons while building snapshots.
To make GetSnapshotData() more scalable, it cannot not look at at each proc's
xmin: While snapshot contents do not need to change whenever a read-only
transaction commits or a snapshot is released, a proc's xmin is modified in
those cases. The frequency of xmin modifications leads to, particularly on
higher core count systems, many cache misses inside GetSnapshotData(), despite
the data underlying a snapshot not changing. That is the most
significant source of GetSnapshotData() scaling poorly on larger systems.

Without accessing xmins, GetSnapshotData() cannot calculate accurate horizons /
thresholds as it has so far. But we don't really have to: The horizons don't
actually change that much between GetSnapshotData() calls. Nor are the horizons
actually used every time a snapshot is built.

The trick this commit introduces is to delay computation of accurate horizons
until there use and using horizon boundaries to determine whether accurate
horizons need to be computed.

The use of RecentGlobal[Data]Xmin to decide whether a row version could be
removed has been replaces with new GlobalVisTest* functions.  These use two
thresholds to determine whether a row can be pruned:
1) definitely_needed, indicating that rows deleted by XIDs >= definitely_needed
   are definitely still visible.
2) maybe_needed, indicating that rows deleted by XIDs < maybe_needed can
   definitely be removed
GetSnapshotData() updates definitely_needed to be the xmin of the computed
snapshot.

When testing whether a row can be removed (with GlobalVisTestIsRemovableXid())
and the tested XID falls in between the two (i.e. XID >= maybe_needed && XID <
definitely_needed) the boundaries can be recomputed to be more accurate. As it
is not cheap to compute accurate boundaries, we limit the number of times that
happens in short succession.  As the boundaries used by
GlobalVisTestIsRemovableXid() are never reset (with maybe_needed updated by
GetSnapshotData()), it is likely that further test can benefit from an earlier
computation of accurate horizons.

To avoid regressing performance when old_snapshot_threshold is set (as that
requires an accurate horizon to be computed), heap_page_prune_opt() doesn't
unconditionally call TransactionIdLimitedForOldSnapshots() anymore. Both the
computation of the limited horizon, and the triggering of errors (with
SetOldSnapshotThresholdTimestamp()) is now only done when necessary to remove
tuples.

This commit just removes the accesses to PGXACT->xmin from
GetSnapshotData(), but other members of PGXACT residing in the same
cache line are accessed. Therefore this in itself does not result in a
significant improvement. Subsequent commits will take advantage of the
fact that GetSnapshotData() now does not need to access xmins anymore.

Note: This contains a workaround in heap_page_prune_opt() to keep the
snapshot_too_old tests working. While that workaround is ugly, the tests
currently are not meaningful, and it seems best to address them separately.

Michael Paquier 4e87c4836a Fix handling of WAL segments ready to be archived during crash recovery
78ea8b5 has fixed an issue related to the recycling of WAL segments on
standbys depending on archive_mode.  However, it has introduced a
regression with the handling of WAL segments ready to be archived during
crash recovery, causing those files to be recycled without getting
archived.

This commit fixes the regression by tracking in shared memory if a live
cluster is either in crash recovery or archive recovery as the handling
of WAL segments ready to be archived is different in both cases (those
WAL segments should not be removed during crash recovery), and by using
this new shared memory state to decide if a segment can be recycled or
not.  Previously, it was not possible to know if a cluster was in crash
recovery or archive recovery as the shared state was able to track only
if recovery was happening or not, leading to the problem.

A set of TAP tests is added to close the gap here, making sure that WAL
segments ready to be archived are correctly handled when a cluster is in
archive or crash recovery with archive_mode set to "on" or "always", for
both standby and primary.

It's a bit sneaky to use the same C functions for both, but since the
binary representation is identical except for the signedness of the
type, and since older functions are the ones using the wrong signedness,
and since we'll presumably drop the older ones after a reasonable period
of time, it seems reasonable to switch to FullTransactionId internally
and share the code for both.

pg_stat_statements tracked only the execution statistics, we could
not use that for the purpose.

The planning and execution statistics are stored at the end of
each phase separately. So there are not always one-to-one relationship
between them. For example, if the statement is successfully planned
but fails in the execution phase, only its planning statistics are stored.
This may cause the users to be able to see different pg_stat_statements
results from the previous version. To avoid this,
pg_stat_statements.track_planning needs to be disabled.

Alexander Korotkov 911e702077 Implement operator class parameters
PostgreSQL provides set of template index access methods, where opclasses have
much freedom in the semantics of indexing.  These index AMs are GiST, GIN,
SP-GiST and BRIN.  There opclasses define representation of keys, operations on
them and supported search strategies.  So, it's natural that opclasses may be
faced some tradeoffs, which require user-side decision.  This commit implements
opclass parameters allowing users to set some values, which tell opclass how to
index the particular dataset.

This commit doesn't introduce new storage in system catalog.  Instead it uses
pg_attribute.attoptions, which is used for table column storage options but
unused for index attributes.

In order to evade changing signature of each opclass support function, we
implement unified way to pass options to opclass support functions.  Options
are set to fn_expr as the constant bytea expression.  It's possible due to the
fact that opclass support functions are executed outside of expressions, so
fn_expr is unused for them.

This commit comes with some examples of opclass options usage.  We parametrize
signature length in GiST.  That applies to multiple opclasses: tsvector_ops,
gist__intbig_ops, gist_ltree_ops, gist__ltree_ops, gist_trgm_ops and
gist_hstore_ops.  Also we parametrize maximum number of integer ranges for
gist__int_ops.  However, the main future usage of this feature is expected
to be json, where users would be able to specify which way to index particular
json parts.

Catversion is bumped.

It sets up an error context callback to display additional information
with the error.  During different phases of vacuum (heap scan, heap
vacuum, index vacuum, index clean up, heap truncate), we update the error
context callback to display appropriate information.  We can extend it to
a bit more granular level like adding the phases for FSM operations or for

cleanup with background workers.  This adds a PARALLEL option to VACUUM
command where the user can specify the number of workers that can be used
to perform the command which is limited by the number of indexes on a
table.  Specifying zero as a number of workers will disable parallelism.
This option can't be used with the FULL option.

Each index is processed by at most one vacuum process.  Therefore parallel
vacuum can be used when the table has at least two indexes.

The parallel degree is either specified by the user or determined based on
the number of indexes that the table has, and further limited by
max_parallel_maintenance_workers.  The index can participate in parallel
vacuum iff it's size is greater than min_parallel_index_scan_size.

Michael Paquier e1551f96e6 Refactor attribute mappings used in logical tuple conversion
Tuple conversion support in tupconvert.c is able to convert rowtypes
between two relations, inner and outer, which are logically equivalent
but have a different ordering or even dropped columns (used mainly for
inheritance tree and partitions).  This makes use of attribute mappings,
which are simple arrays made of AttrNumber elements with a length
matching the number of attributes of the outer relation.  The length of
the attribute mapping has been treated as completely independent of the
mapping itself until now, making it easy to pass down an incorrect
mapping length.

This commit refactors the code related to attribute mappings and moves
it into an independent facility called attmap.c, extracted from
tupconvert.c.  This merges the attribute mapping with its length,
avoiding to try to guess what is the length of a mapping to use as this
is computed once, when the map is built.

This will avoid mistakes like what has been fixed in dc816e58, which has
used an incorrect mapping length by matching it with the number of
attributes of an inner relation (a child partition) instead of an outer
relation (a partitioned table).

Michael Paquier 4cb658af70 Refactor reloption handling for index AMs in-core
This reworks the reloption parsing and build of a couple of index AMs by
creating new structures for each index AM's options.  This split was
already done for BRIN, GIN and GiST (which actually has a fillfactor
parameter), but not for hash, B-tree and SPGiST which relied on
StdRdOptions due to an overlap with the default option set.

This saves a couple of bytes for rd_options in each relcache entry with
indexes making use of relation options, and brings more consistency
between all index AMs.  While on it, add a couple of AssertMacro() calls
to make sure that utility macros to grab values of reloptions are used
with the expected index AM.

Tomas Vondra 6cbfb784c3 Rework the pg_statistic_ext catalog
Since extended statistic got introduced in PostgreSQL 10, there was a
single catalog pg_statistic_ext storing both the definitions and built
statistic.  That's however problematic when a user is supposed to have
access only to the definitions, but not to user data.

Consider for example pg_dump on a database with RLS enabled - if the
pg_statistic_ext catalog respects RLS (which it should, if it contains
user data), pg_dump would not see any records and the result would not
define any extended statistics.  That would be a surprising behavior.

Until now this was not a pressing issue, because the existing types of
extended statistic (functional dependencies and ndistinct coefficients)
do not include any user data directly.  This changed with introduction
of MCV lists, which do include most common combinations of values.

The easiest way to fix this is to split the pg_statistic_ext catalog
into two - one for definitions, one for the built statistic values.
The new catalog is called pg_statistic_ext_data, and we're maintaining
a 1:1 relationship with the old catalog - either there are matching
records in both catalogs, or neither of them.

Andres Freund 86b85044e8 tableam: Add table_multi_insert() and revamp/speed-up COPY FROM buffering.
This adds table_multi_insert(), and converts COPY FROM, the only user
of heap_multi_insert, to it.

A simple conversion of COPY FROM use slots would have yielded a
slowdown when inserting into a partitioned table for some
workloads. Different partitions might need different slots (both slot
types and their descriptors), and dropping / creating slots when
there's constant partition changes is measurable.

Thus instead revamp the COPY FROM buffering for partitioned tables to
allow to buffer inserts into multiple tables, flushing only when
limits are reached across all partition buffers. By only dropping
slots when there've been inserts into too many different partitions,
the aforementioned overhead is gone. By allowing larger batches, even
when there are frequent partition changes, we actuall speed such cases
up significantly.

By using slots COPY of very narrow rows into unlogged / temporary
might slow down very slightly (due to the indirect function calls).

For now only md.c uses the new interface, but other users are being

implementations, use a new function table for sync handlers rather
than extending the traditional SMGR one.

Instead of using a bitmapset of segment numbers for each RelFileNode
in the checkpointer's hash table, make the segment number part of the

Andres Freund 558a9165e0 Compute XID horizon for page level index vacuum on primary.
Previously the xid horizon was only computed during WAL replay. That
had two major problems:
1) It relied on knowing what the table pointed to looks like. That was
   easy enough before the introducing of tableam (we knew it had to be
   heap, although some trickery around logging the heap relfilenodes
   was required). But to properly handle table AMs we need
   per-database catalog access to look up the AM handler, which
   recovery doesn't allow.
2) Not knowing the xid horizon also makes it hard to support logical
   decoding on standbys. When on a catalog table, we need to be able
   to conflict with slots that have an xid horizon that's too old. But
   computing the horizon by visiting the heap only works once
   consistency is reached, but we always need to be able to detect
   conflicts.

There's also a secondary problem, in that the current method performs
redundant work on every standby. But that's counterbalanced by
potentially computing the value when not necessary (either because
there's no standby, or because there's no connected backends).

Solve 1) and 2) by moving computation of the xid horizon to the
primary and by involving tableam in the computation of the horizon.

To address the potentially increased overhead, increase the efficiency
of the xid horizon computation for heap by sorting the tids, and
eliminating redundant buffer accesses. When prefetching is available,
additionally perform prefetching of buffers.  As this is more of a
maintenance task, rather than something routinely done in every read
only query, we add an arbitrary 10 to the effective concurrency -
thereby using IO concurrency, when not globally enabled.  That's
possibly not the perfect formula, but seems good enough for now.

Bumps WAL format, as latestRemovedXid is now part of the records, and
the heap's relfilenode isn't anymore.

Andres Freund 5db6df0c01 tableam: Add tuple_{insert, delete, update, lock} and use.
This adds new, required, table AM callbacks for insert/delete/update
and lock_tuple. To be able to reasonably use those, the EvalPlanQual
mechanism had to be adapted, moving more logic into the AM.

Previously both delete/update/lock call-sites and the EPQ mechanism had
to have awareness of the specific tuple format to be able to fetch the
latest version of a tuple. Obviously that needs to be abstracted
away. To do so, move the logic that find the latest row version into
the AM. lock_tuple has a new flag argument,
TUPLE_LOCK_FLAG_FIND_LAST_VERSION, that forces it to lock the last
version, rather than the current one.  It'd have been possible to do
so via a separate callback as well, but finding the last version
usually also necessitates locking the newest version, making it
sensible to combine the two. This replaces the previous use of
EvalPlanQualFetch().  Additionally HeapTupleUpdated, which previously
signaled either a concurrent update or delete, is now split into two,
to avoid callers needing AM specific knowledge to differentiate.

The move of finding the latest row version into tuple_lock means that
encountering a row concurrently moved into another partition will now
raise an error about "tuple to be locked" rather than "tuple to be
updated/deleted" - which is accurate, as that always happens when
locking rows. While possible slightly less helpful for users, it seems
like an acceptable trade-off.

As part of this commit HTSU_Result has been renamed to TM_Result, and
its members been expanded to differentiated between updating and
deleting. HeapUpdateFailureData has been renamed to TM_FailureData.

The interface to speculative insertion is changed so nodeModifyTable.c
does not have to set the speculative token itself anymore. Instead
there's a version of tuple_insert, tuple_insert_speculative, that
performs the speculative insertion (without requiring a flag to signal
that fact), and the speculative insertion is either made permanent
with table_complete_speculative(succeeded = true) or aborted with
succeeded = false).

Note that multi_insert is not yet routed through tableam, nor is
COPY. Changing multi_insert requires changes to copy.c that are large
enough to better be done separately.

Similarly, although simpler, CREATE TABLE AS and CREATE MATERIALIZED
VIEW are also only going to be adjusted in a later commit.

path language, allowing access parts of JSON documents and make computations
over them.  This commit implements partial support JSON path language as
separate datatype called "jsonpath".  The implementation is partial because
it's lacking datetime support and suppression of numeric errors.  Missing
features will be added later by separate commits.

Support of SQL/JSON features requires implementation of separate nodes, and it

set of plain functions, allowing to execute jsonpath over jsonb values:

 * jsonb_path_exists(jsonb, jsonpath[, jsonb, bool]),
 * jsonb_path_match(jsonb, jsonpath[, jsonb, bool]),
 * jsonb_path_query(jsonb, jsonpath[, jsonb, bool]),
 * jsonb_path_query_array(jsonb, jsonpath[, jsonb, bool]).
 * jsonb_path_query_first(jsonb, jsonpath[, jsonb, bool]).

This commit also implements "jsonb @? jsonpath" and "jsonb @@ jsonpath", which
are wrappers over jsonpath_exists(jsonb, jsonpath) and jsonpath_predicate(jsonb,
jsonpath) correspondingly.  These operators will have an index support
(implemented in subsequent patches).

Andres Freund c2fe139c20 tableam: Add and use scan APIs.
Too allow table accesses to be not directly dependent on heap, several
new abstractions are needed. Specifically:

1) Heap scans need to be generalized into table scans. Do this by
   introducing TableScanDesc, which will be the "base class" for
   individual AMs. This contains the AM independent fields from
   HeapScanDesc.

   The previous heap_{beginscan,rescan,endscan} et al. have been
   replaced with a table_ version.

   There's no direct replacement for heap_getnext(), as that returned
   a HeapTuple, which is undesirable for a other AMs. Instead there's
   table_scan_getnextslot().  But note that heap_getnext() lives on,
   it's still used widely to access catalog tables.

   This is achieved by new scan_begin, scan_end, scan_rescan,
   scan_getnextslot callbacks.

2) The portion of parallel scans that's shared between backends need
   to be able to do so without the user doing per-AM work. To achieve
   that new parallelscan_{estimate, initialize, reinitialize}
   callbacks are introduced, which operate on a new
   ParallelTableScanDesc, which again can be subclassed by AMs.

   As it is likely that several AMs are going to be block oriented,
   block oriented callbacks that can be shared between such AMs are
   provided and used by heap. table_block_parallelscan_{estimate,
   intiialize, reinitialize} as callbacks, and
   table_block_parallelscan_{nextpage, init} for use in AMs. These
   operate on a ParallelBlockTableScanDesc.

3) Index scans need to be able to access tables to return a tuple, and
   there needs to be state across individual accesses to the heap to
   store state like buffers. That's now handled by introducing a
   sort-of-scan IndexFetchTable, which again is intended to be
   subclassed by individual AMs (for heap IndexFetchHeap).

   The relevant callbacks for an AM are index_fetch_{end, begin,
   reset} to create the necessary state, and index_fetch_tuple to
   retrieve an indexed tuple.  Note that index_fetch_tuple
   implementations need to be smarter than just blindly fetching the
   tuples for AMs that have optimizations similar to heap's HOT - the
   currently alive tuple in the update chain needs to be fetched if
   appropriate.

   Similar to table_scan_getnextslot(), it's undesirable to continue
   to return HeapTuples. Thus index_fetch_heap (might want to rename
   that later) now accepts a slot as an argument. Core code doesn't
   have a lot of call sites performing index scans without going
   through the systable_* API (in contrast to loads of heap_getnext
   calls and working directly with HeapTuples).

   Index scans now store the result of a search in
   IndexScanDesc->xs_heaptid, rather than xs_ctup->t_self. As the
   target is not generally a HeapTuple anymore that seems cleaner.

To be able to sensible adapt code to use the above, two further
callbacks have been introduced:

a) slot_callbacks returns a TupleTableSlotOps* suitable for creating
   slots capable of holding a tuple of the AMs
   type. table_slot_callbacks() and table_slot_create() are based
   upon that, but have additional logic to deal with views, foreign
   tables, etc.

   While this change could have been done separately, nearly all the
   call sites that needed to be adapted for the rest of this commit
   also would have been needed to be adapted for
   table_slot_callbacks(), making separation not worthwhile.

b) tuple_satisfies_snapshot checks whether the tuple in a slot is
   currently visible according to a snapshot. That's required as a few
   places now don't have a buffer + HeapTuple around, but a
   slot (which in heap's case internally has that information).

Additionally a few infrastructure changes were needed:

I) SysScanDesc, as used by systable_{beginscan, getnext} et al. now
   internally uses a slot to keep track of tuples. While
   systable_getnext() still returns HeapTuples, and will so for the
   foreseeable future, the index API (see 1) above) now only deals with
   slots.

The remainder, and largest part, of this commit is then adjusting all
scans in postgres to use the new APIs.

Docs will be updated at the end, as adding them incrementally would
likely make them less coherent, and definitely is a lot more work,
without a lot of benefit.

Table access methods are specified similar to index access methods,
i.e. pg_am.amhandler returns, as INTERNAL, a pointer to a struct with
callbacks. In contrast to index AMs that struct needs to live as long
as a backend, typically that's achieved by just returning a pointer to
a constant struct.

Psql's \d+ now displays a table's access method. That can be disabled
with HIDE_TABLEAM=true, which is mainly useful so regression tests can
be run against different AMs.  It's quite possible that this behaviour
still needs to be fine tuned.

For now it's not allowed to set a table AM for a partitioned table, as
we've not resolved how partitions would inherit that. Disallowing
allows us to introduce, if we decide that's the way forward, such a
behaviour without a compatibility break.

Catversion bumped, to add the heap table AM and references to it.

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.

Andres Freund 63746189b2 Change snapshot type to be determined by enum rather than callback.
This is in preparation for allowing the same snapshot be used for
different table AMs. With the current callback based approach we would
need one callback for each supported AM, which clearly would not be
extensible.  Thus add a new Snapshot->snapshot_type field, and move
the dispatch into HeapTupleSatisfiesVisibility() (which is now a
function). Later work will then dispatch calls to
HeapTupleSatisfiesVisibility() and other AMs visibility functions
depending on the type of the table.  The central SnapshotType enum
also seems like a good location to centralize documentation about the
intended behaviour of various types of snapshots.

As tqual.h isn't included by bufmgr.h any more (as HeapTupleSatisfies*
isn't referenced by TestForOldSnapshot() anymore) a few files now need
to include it directly.

Simon Riggs d204ef6377 MERGE SQL Command following SQL:2016
MERGE performs actions that modify rows in the target table
using a source table or query. MERGE provides a single SQL
statement that can conditionally INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE rows
a task that would other require multiple PL statements.
e.g.

MERGE INTO target AS t
USING source AS s
ON t.tid = s.sid
WHEN MATCHED AND t.balance > s.delta THEN
  UPDATE SET balance = t.balance - s.delta
WHEN MATCHED THEN
  DELETE
WHEN NOT MATCHED AND s.delta > 0 THEN
  INSERT VALUES (s.sid, s.delta)
WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN
  DO NOTHING;

MERGE works with regular and partitioned tables, including
column and row security enforcement, as well as support for
row, statement and transition triggers.

MERGE is optimized for OLTP and is parameterizable, though
also useful for large scale ETL/ELT. MERGE is not intended
to be used in preference to existing single SQL commands
for INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE since there is some overhead.
MERGE can be used statically from PL/pgSQL.

MERGE does not yet support inheritance, write rules,
RETURNING clauses, updatable views or foreign tables.
MERGE follows SQL Standard per the most recent SQL:2016.

Includes full tests and documentation, including full
isolation tests to demonstrate the concurrent behavior.

This version written from scratch in 2017 by Simon Riggs,
using docs and tests originally written in 2009. Later work
from Pavan Deolasee has been both complex and deep, leaving
the lead author credit now in his hands.

Andres Freund 51bc271790 Add Bloom filter implementation.
A Bloom filter is a space-efficient, probabilistic data structure that
can be used to test set membership.  Callers will sometimes incur false
positives, but never false negatives.  The rate of false positives is a
function of the total number of elements and the amount of memory
available for the Bloom filter.

Two classic applications of Bloom filters are cache filtering, and data
synchronization testing.  Any user of Bloom filters must accept the
possibility of false positives as a cost worth paying for the benefit in
space efficiency.

This commit adds a test harness extension module, test_bloomfilter.  It
can be used to get a sense of how the Bloom filter implementation
performs under varying conditions.

This is infrastructure for the upcoming "heapallindexed" amcheck patch,
which verifies the consistency of a heap relation against one of its
indexes.

To avoid duplicating a lot of code, only support emitting code for
cases that are likely to be performance critical. For expression steps
that aren't deemed that, use the existing interpreter.

The generated code isn't great - some architectural changes are

- Batching facility to allow functions to be defined in small

- Type and function declaration synchronization between runtime

- Developer oriented jit_dump_bitcode GUC, for inspecting / debugging

- per JitContext statistics of number of functions, time spent

  employed for EXPLAIN support.

This commit doesn't yet contain any code actually generating

Robert Haas e2f1eb0ee3 Implement partition-wise grouping/aggregation.
If the partition keys of input relation are part of the GROUP BY

partition.  This allows aggregation/grouping over a partitioned
relation to be broken down * into aggregation/grouping on each
partition.  This should be no worse, and often better, than the normal
approach.

If the GROUP BY clause does not contain all the partition keys, we can
still perform partial aggregation for each partition and then finalize
aggregation after appending the partial results.  This is less certain
to be a win, but it's still useful.

Andres Freund 69c3936a14 Expression evaluation based aggregate transition invocation.
Previously aggregate transition and combination functions were invoked
by special case code in nodeAgg.c, evaluating input and filters
separately using the expression evaluation machinery. That turns out
to not be great for performance for several reasons:

- repeated expression evaluations have some cost
- the transition functions invocations are poorly predicted, as
  commonly there are multiple aggregates in a query, resulting in the
  same call-stack invoking different functions.
- filter and input computation had to be done separately
- the special case code made it hard to implement JITing of the whole
  transition function invocation

Address this by building one large expression that computes input,
evaluates filters, and invokes transition functions.

This leads to moderate speedups in queries bottlenecked by aggregate
computations, and enables large speedups for similar cases once JITing
is done.

There's potential for further improvement:
- It'd be nice if we could simplify the somewhat expensive
  aggstate->all_pergroups lookups.
- right now there's still an advance_transition_function invocation in
  nodeAgg.c, leading to some code duplication.

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.

Hash partitioning is useful when you want to partition a growing data

makes maintenance operations such as VACUUM faster, or to enable

At present, we still depend on constraint exclusion for partitioning
pruning, and the shape of the partition constraints for hash
partitioning is such that that doesn't work.  Work is underway to fix
that, which should both improve performance and make partitioning

Andres Freund 141fd1b66c Improve sys/catcache performance.
The following are the individual improvements:
1) Avoidance of FunctionCallInfo based function calls, replaced by
   more efficient functions with a native C argument interface.
2) Don't extract columns from a cache entry's tuple whenever matching
   entries - instead store them as a Datum array. This also allows to
   get rid of having to build dummy tuples for negative & list
   entries, and of a hack for dealing with cstring vs. text weirdness.
3) Reorder members of catcache.h struct, so imortant entries are more
   likely to be on one cacheline.
4) Allowing the compiler to specialize critical SearchCatCache for a
   specific number of attributes allows to unroll loops and avoid
   other nkeys dependant initialization.
5) Only initializing the ScanKey when necessary, i.e. catcache misses,
   greatly reduces cache unnecessary cpu cache misses.
6) Split of the cache-miss case from the hash lookup, reducing stack
   allocations etc in the common case.
7) CatCTup and their corresponding heaptuple are allocated in one
   piece.

This results in making cache lookups themselves roughly three times as
fast - full-system benchmarks obviously improve less than that.

I've also evaluated further techniques:
- replace open coded hash with simplehash - the list walk right now
  shows up in profiles. Unfortunately it's not easy to do so safely as
  an entry's memory location can change at various times, which
  doesn't work well with the refcounting and cache invalidation.
- Cacheline-aligning CatCTup entries - helps some with performance,
  but the win isn't big and the code for it is ugly, because the
  tuples have to be freed as well.
- add more proper functions, rather than macros for
  SearchSysCacheCopyN etc., but right now they don't show up in
  profiles.

The reason the macro wrapper for syscache.c/h have to be changed,
rather than just catcache, is that doing otherwise would require
exposing the SysCache array to the outside.  That might be a good idea
anyway, but it's for another day.

Andres Freund cc5f81366c Add support for coordinating record typmods among parallel workers.
Tuples can have type RECORDOID and a typmod number that identifies a blessed
TupleDesc in a backend-private cache.  To support the sharing of such tuples
through shared memory and temporary files, provide a typmod registry in
shared memory.

To achieve that, introduce per-session DSM segments, created on demand when a
backend first runs a parallel query.  The per-session DSM segment has a
table-of-contents just like the per-query DSM segment, and initially the
contents are a shared record typmod registry and a DSA area to provide the
space it needs to grow.

State relating to the current session is accessed via a Session object
reached through global variable CurrentSession that may require significant
redesign further down the road as we figure out what else needs to be shared
or remodelled.

Andres Freund 8c0d7bafad Hash tables backed by DSA shared memory.
Add general purpose chaining hash tables for DSA memory.  Unlike
DynaHash in shared memory mode, these hash tables can grow as
required, and cope with being mapped into different addresses in
different backends.

There is a wide range of potential users for such a hash table, though
it's very likely the interface will need to evolve as we come to
understand the needs of different kinds of users.  E.g support for
iterators and incremental resizing is planned for later commits and
the details of the callback signatures are likely to change.

Robert Haas 79ccd7cbd5 pg_prewarm: Add automatic prewarm feature.
Periodically while the server is running, and at shutdown, write out a
list of blocks in shared buffers.  When the server reaches consistency
-- unfortunatey, we can't do it before that point without breaking
things -- reload those blocks into any still-unused shared buffers.

Dean Rasheed d363d42bb9 Use MINVALUE/MAXVALUE instead of UNBOUNDED for range partition bounds.
Previously, UNBOUNDED meant no lower bound when used in the FROM list,
and no upper bound when used in the TO list, which was OK for
single-column range partitioning, but problematic with multiple
columns. For example, an upper bound of (10.0, UNBOUNDED) would not be
collocated with a lower bound of (10.0, UNBOUNDED), thus making it
difficult or impossible to define contiguous multi-column range
partitions in some cases.

Fix this by using MINVALUE and MAXVALUE instead of UNBOUNDED to
represent a partition column that is unbounded below or above
respectively. This syntax removes any ambiguity, and ensures that if
one partition's lower bound equals another partition's upper bound,
then the partitions are contiguous.

Also drop the constraint prohibiting finite values after an unbounded
column, and just document the fact that any values after MINVALUE or
MAXVALUE are ignored. Previously it was necessary to repeat UNBOUNDED
multiple times, which was needlessly verbose.

Note: Forces a post-PG 10 beta2 initdb.

Report by Amul Sul, original patch by Amit Langote with some
additional hacking by me.
