Tomas Vondra c9a0dc3486 Disallow CREATE STATISTICS on system catalogs
Add a check that CREATE STATISTICS does not add extended statistics on
system catalogs, similarly to indexes etc.  It can be overriden using
the allow_system_table_mods GUC.

This bug exists since 7b504eb282, adding the extended statistics, so
backpatch all the way back to PostgreSQL 10.

Avoid spurious wait in concurrent reindex
This is like commit c98763bf51, but for REINDEX CONCURRENTLY.  To wit:
this flags indicates that the current process is safe to ignore for the
purposes of waiting for other snapshots, when doing CREATE INDEX
CONCURRENTLY and REINDEX CONCURRENTLY.  This helps two processes doing
either of those things not deadlock, and also avoids spurious waits.

Prevent drop of tablespaces used by partitioned relations
When a tablespace is used in a partitioned relation (per commits
ca4103025d in pg12 for tables and 33e6c34c32 in pg11 for indexes),
it is possible to drop the tablespace, potentially causing various
problems.  One such was reported in bug #16577, where a rewriting ALTER
TABLE causes a server crash.

Protect against this by using pg_shdepend to keep track of tablespaces
when used for relations that don't keep physical files; we now abort a
tablespace if we see that the tablespace is referenced from any
partitioned relations.

Backpatch this to 11, where this problem has been latent all along.  We
don't try to create pg_shdepend entries for existing partitioned
indexes/tables, but any ones that are modified going forward will be
protected.

Note slight behavior change: when trying to drop a tablespace that
contains both regular tables as well as partitioned ones, you'd
previously get ERRCODE_OBJECT_NOT_IN_PREREQUISITE_STATE and now you'll
get ERRCODE_DEPENDENT_OBJECTS_STILL_EXIST.  Arguably, the latter is more
correct.

It is possible to add protecting pg_shdepend entries for existing
tables/indexes, by doing
  ALTER TABLE ONLY some_partitioned_table SET TABLESPACE pg_default;
  ALTER TABLE ONLY some_partitioned_table SET TABLESPACE original_tablespace;
for each partitioned table/index that is not in the database default
tablespace.  Because these partitioned objects do not have storage, no
file needs to be actually moved, so it shouldn't take more time than
what's required to acquire locks.

This query can be used to search for such relations:
SELECT ... FROM pg_class WHERE relkind IN ('p', 'I') AND reltablespace <> 0

Peter Geoghegan 9dc718bdf2 Pass down "logically unchanged index" hint.
Add an executor aminsert() hint mechanism that informs index AMs that
the incoming index tuple (the tuple that accompanies the hint) is not
being inserted by execution of an SQL statement that logically modifies
any of the index's key columns.

The hint is received by indexes when an UPDATE takes place that does not
apply an optimization like heapam's HOT (though only for indexes where
all key columns are logically unchanged).  Any index tuple that receives
the hint on insert is expected to be a duplicate of at least one
existing older version that is needed for the same logical row.  Related
versions will typically be stored on the same index page, at least
within index AMs that apply the hint.

Recognizing the difference between MVCC version churn duplicates and
true logical row duplicates at the index AM level can help with cleanup
of garbage index tuples.  Cleanup can intelligently target tuples that
are likely to be garbage, without wasting too many cycles on less
promising tuples/pages (index pages with little or no version churn).

This is infrastructure for an upcoming commit that will teach nbtree to
perform bottom-up index deletion.  No index AM actually applies the hint
just yet.

Tom Lane c9d5298485 Re-implement pl/pgsql's expression and assignment parsing.
Invent new RawParseModes that allow the core grammar to handle
pl/pgsql expressions and assignments directly, and thereby get rid
of a lot of hackery in pl/pgsql's parser.  This moves a good deal
of knowledge about pl/pgsql into the core code: notably, we have to
invent a CoercionContext that matches pl/pgsql's (rather dubious)
historical behavior for assignment coercions.  That's getting away
from the original idea of pl/pgsql as an arm's-length extension of
the core, but really we crossed that bridge a long time ago.

The main advantage of doing this is that we can now use the core
parser to generate FieldStore and/or SubscriptingRef nodes to handle
assignments to pl/pgsql variables that are records or arrays.  That
fixes a number of cases that had never been implemented in pl/pgsql
assignment, such as nested records and array slicing, and it allows
pl/pgsql assignment to support the datatype-specific subscripting
behaviors introduced in commit c7aba7c14.

There are cosmetic benefits too: when a syntax error occurs in a
pl/pgsql expression, the error report no longer includes the confusing
"SELECT" keyword that used to get prefixed to the expression text.
Also, there seem to be some small speed gains.

Tom Lane 844fe9f159 Add the ability for the core grammar to have more than one parse target.
This patch essentially allows gram.y to implement a family of related
syntax trees, rather than necessarily always parsing a list of SQL
statements.  raw_parser() gains a new argument, enum RawParseMode,
to say what to do.  As proof of concept, add a mode that just parses
a TypeName without any other decoration, and use that to greatly
simplify typeStringToTypeName().

In addition, invent a new SPI entry point SPI_prepare_extended() to
allow SPI users (particularly plpgsql) to get at this new functionality.
In hopes of making this the last variant of SPI_prepare(), set up its
additional arguments as a struct rather than direct arguments, and
promise that future additions to the struct can default to zero.
SPI_prepare_cursor() and SPI_prepare_params() can perhaps go away at
some point.

Michael Paquier e665769e6d Sanitize IF NOT EXISTS in EXPLAIN for CTAS and matviews
IF NOT EXISTS was ignored when specified in an EXPLAIN query for CREATE
MATERIALIZED VIEW or CREATE TABLE AS.  Hence, if this clause was
specified, the caller would get a failure if the relation already
exists instead of a success with a NOTICE message.

This commit makes the behavior of IF NOT EXISTS in EXPLAIN consistent
with the non-EXPLAIN'd DDL queries, preventing a failure with IF NOT
EXISTS if the relation to-be-created already exists.  The skip is done
before the SELECT query used for the relation is planned or executed,
and a "dummy" plan is generated instead depending on the format used by
EXPLAIN.

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.

Catversion is bumped.

Tom Lane b3817f5f77 Improve hash_create()'s API for some added robustness.
Invent a new flag bit HASH_STRINGS to specify C-string hashing, which
was formerly the default; and add assertions insisting that exactly
one of the bits HASH_STRINGS, HASH_BLOBS, and HASH_FUNCTION be set.
This is in hopes of preventing recurrences of the type of oversight
fixed in commit a1b8aa1e4 (i.e., mistakenly omitting HASH_BLOBS).

Also, when HASH_STRINGS is specified, insist that the keysize be
more than 8 bytes.  This is a heuristic, but it should catch
accidental use of HASH_STRINGS for integer or pointer keys.
(Nearly all existing use-cases set the keysize to NAMEDATALEN or
more, so there's little reason to think this restriction should
be problematic.)

Tweak hash_create() to insist that the HASH_ELEM flag be set, and
remove the defaults it had for keysize and entrysize.  Since those
defaults were undocumented and basically useless, no callers
omitted HASH_ELEM anyway.

Also, remove memset's zeroing the HASHCTL parameter struct from
those callers that had one.  This has never been really necessary,
and while it wasn't a bad coding convention it was confusing that
some callers did it and some did not.  We might as well save a few
cycles by standardizing on "not".

Also improve the documentation for hash_create().

In passing, improve reinit.c's usage of a hash table by storing
the key as a binary Oid rather than a string; and, since that's
a temporary hash table, allocate it in CurrentMemoryContext for
neatness.

This is essential if we'd like to allow existing extension data types

direct manipulation of pg_type isn't a great answer either.

Tom Lane c7aba7c14e Support subscripting of arbitrary types, not only arrays.
This patch generalizes the subscripting infrastructure so that any
data type can be subscripted, if it provides a handler function to
define what that means.  Traditional variable-length (varlena) arrays
all use array_subscript_handler(), while the existing fixed-length
types that support subscripting use raw_array_subscript_handler().
It's expected that other types that want to use subscripting notation
will define their own handlers.  (This patch provides no such new
features, though; it only lays the foundation for them.)

To do this, move the parser's semantic processing of subscripts
(including coercion to whatever data type is required) into a
method callback supplied by the handler.  On the execution side,
replace the ExecEvalSubscriptingRef* layer of functions with direct
calls to callback-supplied execution routines.  (Thus, essentially
no new run-time overhead should be caused by this patch.  Indeed,
there is room to remove some overhead by supplying specialized
execution routines.  This patch does a little bit in that line,
but more could be done.)

Additional work is required here and there to remove formerly
hard-wired assumptions about the result type, collation, etc
of a SubscriptingRef expression node; and to remove assumptions
that the subscript values must be integers.

One useful side-effect of this is that we now have a less squishy
mechanism for identifying whether a data type is a "true" array:
instead of wiring in weird rules about typlen, we can look to see
if pg_type.typsubscript == F_ARRAY_SUBSCRIPT_HANDLER.  For this
to be bulletproof, we have to forbid user-defined types from using
that handler directly; but there seems no good reason for them to
do so.

This patch also removes assumptions that the number of subscripts
is limited to MAXDIM (6), or indeed has any hard-wired limit.
That limit still applies to types handled by array_subscript_handler
or raw_array_subscript_handler, but to discourage other dependencies
on this constant, I've moved it from c.h to utils/array.h.

Michael Paquier 947789f1f5 Avoid using tuple from syscache for update of pg_database.datfrozenxid
pg_database.datfrozenxid gets updated using an in-place update at the
end of vacuum or autovacuum.  Since 96cdeae, as pg_database has a toast
relation, it is possible for a pg_database tuple to have toast values
if there is a large set of ACLs in place.  In such a case, the in-place
update would fail because of the flattening of the toast values done for
the catcache entry fetched.  Instead of using a copy from the catcache,
this changes the logic to fetch the copy of the tuple by directly
scanning pg_database.

Per the lack of complaints on the matter, no backpatch is done.  Note
that before 96cdeae, attempting to insert such a tuple to pg_database
would cause a "row is too big" error, so the end-of-vacuum problem was
not reachable.

Tom Lane 9c83b54a9c Fix a recently-introduced race condition in LISTEN/NOTIFY handling.
Commit 566372b3d fixed some race conditions involving concurrent
SimpleLruTruncate calls, but it introduced new ones in async.c.
A newly-listening backend could attempt to read Notify SLRU pages that
were in process of being truncated, possibly causing an error.  Also,
the QUEUE_TAIL pointer could become set to a value that's not equal to
the queue position of any backend.  While that's fairly harmless in
v13 and up (thanks to commit 51004c717), in older branches it resulted
in near-permanent disabling of the queue truncation logic, so that
continued use of NOTIFY led to queue-fill warnings and eventual
inability to send any more notifies.  (A server restart is enough to
make that go away, but it's still pretty unpleasant.)

The core of the problem is confusion about whether QUEUE_TAIL
represents the "logical" tail of the queue (i.e., the oldest
still-interesting data) or the "physical" tail (the oldest data we've
not yet truncated away).  To fix, split that into two variables.
QUEUE_TAIL regains its definition as the logical tail, and we
introduce a new variable to track the oldest un-truncated page.

Per report from Mikael Gustavsson.  Like the previous patch,
back-patch to all supported branches.

Avoid spurious waits in concurrent indexing
In the various waiting phases of CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY (CIC) and
REINDEX CONCURRENTLY (RC), we wait for other processes to release their
snapshots; this is necessary in general for correctness.  However,
processes doing CIC in other tables cannot possibly affect CIC or RC
done in "this" table, so we don't need to wait for those.  This commit
adds a flag in MyProc->statusFlags to indicate that the current process
is doing CIC, so that other processes doing CIC or RC can ignore it when
waiting.

Note that this logic is only valid if the index does not access other
tables.  For simplicity we avoid setting the flag if the index has a
column that's an expression, or has a WHERE predicate.  (It is possible
to have expressional or partial indexes that do not access other tables,
but figuring that out would require more work.)

This flag can potentially also be used by processes doing REINDEX
CONCURRENTLY to be skipped; and by VACUUM to ignore processes in CIC or
RC for the purposes of computing an Xmin.  That's left for future
commits.

Heikki Linnakangas c532d15ddd Split copy.c into four files.
Copy.c has grown really large. Split it into more manageable parts:

- copy.c now contains only a few functions that are common to COPY FROM
  and COPY TO.

- copyto.c contains code for COPY TO.

- copyfrom.c contains code for initializing COPY FROM, and inserting the
  tuples to the correct table.

- copyfromparse.c contains code for reading from the client/file/program,
  and parsing the input text/CSV/binary format into tuples.

All of these parts are fairly complicated, and fairly independent of each
other. There is a patch being discussed to implement parallel COPY FROM,
which will add a lot of new code to the COPY FROM path, and another patch
which would allow INSERTs to use the same multi-insert machinery as COPY
FROM, both of which will require refactoring that code. With those two
patches, there's going to be a lot of code churn in copy.c anyway, so now
seems like a good time to do this refactoring.

The CopyStateData struct is also split. All the formatting options, like
FORMAT, QUOTE, ESCAPE, are put in a new CopyFormatOption struct, which
is used by both COPY FROM and TO. Other state data are kept in separate
CopyFromStateData and CopyToStateData structs.

that any tuple insertion done as part of CREATE TABLE AS happens without
any extra ACL check, so it makes little sense to keep a check for INSERT
privileges when using WITH DATA.  Materialized views are not part of the
standard, but similarly, this check can be confusing as this refers to
an access check on a table created within the same command as the one
that would insert data into this table.

Relax lock level for setting PGPROC->statusFlags
We don't actually need a lock to set PGPROC->statusFlags itself; what we
do need is a shared lock on either XidGenLock or ProcArrayLock in order to
ensure MyProc->pgxactoff keeps still while we modify the mirror array in
ProcGlobal->statusFlags.  Some places were using an exclusive lock for
that, which is excessive.  Relax those to use shared lock only.

procarray.c has a couple of places with somewhat brittle assumptions
about PGPROC changes: ProcArrayEndTransaction uses only shared lock, so
it's permissible to change MyProc only.  On the other hand,
ProcArrayEndTransactionInternal also changes other procs, so it must
hold exclusive lock.  Add asserts to ensure those assumptions continue
to hold.

Michael Paquier 846005e4f3 Relax INSERT privilege requirement for CTAS and matviews WITH NO DATA
When specified, WITH NO DATA does not insert any data into the relation
created, so skip checking for the insert permissions.  With WITH DATA or
WITH NO DATA, it is always required for the user to have CREATE
privileges on the schema targeted for the relation.

Note that plain CREATE TABLE AS or CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW queries have
begun to work accidentally without INSERT privilege checks as of
874fe3ae, while using EXECUTE or EXPLAIN ANALYZE would fail with the ACL
check, so this makes the behavior for all the command flavors consistent
with each other.  This is arguably a bug fix, but there have been no
complaints about the current behavior either so stable branches are not
changed.

While on it, document properly the privileges requirements for each
commands with more tests for all the scenarios possible, and avoid a
useless bulk-insert allocation when using WITH NO DATA.

These flags should be independent: in particular an index AM should
be able to say that it supports include columns without necessarily
supporting multiple key columns.  The included-columns patch got
this wrong, possibly aided by the fact that it didn't bother to

some of the index columns are returnable.

Fujii Masao b62e6056a0 pg_stat_statements: track number of rows processed by REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW.
Commit 6023b7ea71 allowed pg_stat_statements to track the number
of rows retrieved or affected by some utility commands including
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW. However it did not track the rowcount
of REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW. This commit allows pg_stat_statements
to track that.

To track that, this commit changes the query completion for
REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW so that it saves the rowcount. But note that
the rowcount is still not displayed in the command completion tag output.
That is, the display_rowcount flag of CMDTAG_REFRESH_MATERIALIZED_VIEW
command tag is left false in cmdtaglist.h. Otherwise, the change of
completion tag output might break applications using it.

The current implementation cannot handle this correctly, so just
forbid it for now.

GENERATED clauses must be attached to the column definition and cannot
be added later like DEFAULT, so if a child table has a generation
expression that the parent does not have, the child column will
necessarily be an attlocal column.  So to implement ALTER TABLE ONLY /
DROP EXPRESSION, we'd need extra code to update attislocal of the
direct child tables, somewhat similar to how DROP COLUMN does it, so
that the resulting state can be properly dumped and restored.

Tom Lane f90149e628 Don't use custom OID symbols in pg_type.dat, either.
On the same reasoning as in commit 36b931214, forbid using custom
oid_symbol macros in pg_type as well as pg_proc, so that we always
rely on the predictable macro names generated by genbki.pl.

We do continue to grant grandfather status to the names CASHOID and
LSNOID, although those are now considered deprecated aliases for the
preferred names MONEYOID and PG_LSNOID.  This is because there's
likely to be client-side code using the old names, and this bout of
neatnik-ism doesn't quite seem worth breaking client code.

There might be a case for grandfathering EVTTRIGGEROID, too, since
externally-maintained PLs may reference that symbol.  But renaming
such references to EVENT_TRIGGEROID doesn't seem like a particularly
heavy lift --- we make far more significant backend API changes in
every major release.  For now I didn't add that, but we could
reconsider if there's pushback.

The other names changed here seem pretty unlikely to have any outside
uses.  Again, we could add alias macros if there are complaints, but
for now I didn't.

As before, no need for a catversion bump.

Andres Freund 94bc27b576 Centralize horizon determination for temp tables, fixing bug due to skew.
This fixes a bug in the edge case where, for a temp table, heap_page_prune()
can end up with a different horizon than heap_vacuum_rel(). Which can trigger
errors like "ERROR: cannot freeze committed xmax ...".

The bug was introduced due to interaction of a7212be8b9 "Set cutoff xmin more
aggressively when vacuuming a temporary table." with dc7420c2c9 "snapshot
scalability: Don't compute global horizons while building snapshots.".

The problem is caused by lazy_scan_heap() assuming that the only reason its
HeapTupleSatisfiesVacuum() call would return HEAPTUPLE_DEAD is if the tuple is
a HOT tuple, or if the tuple's inserting transaction has aborted since the
heap_page_prune() call. But after a7212be8b9 that was also possible in other
cases for temp tables, because heap_page_prune() uses a different visibility
test after dc7420c2c9.

The fix is fairly simple: Move the special case logic for temp tables from
vacuum_set_xid_limits() to the infrastructure introduced in dc7420c2c9. That
ensures that the horizon used for pruning is at least as aggressive as the one
used by lazy_scan_heap(). The concrete horizon used for temp tables is
slightly different than the logic in dc7420c2c9, but should always be as
aggressive as before (see comments).

A significant benefit to centralizing the logic procarray.c is that now the
more aggressive horizons for temp tables does not just apply to VACUUM but
also to e.g. HOT pruning and the nbtree killtuples logic.

Because isTopLevel is not needed by vacuum_set_xid_limits() anymore, I
undid the the related changes from a7212be8b9.

This commit also adds an isolation test ensuring that the more aggressive
vacuuming and pruning of temp tables keeps working.

Tom Lane 20d3fe9009 In INSERT/UPDATE, use the table's real tuple descriptor as target.
Previously, ExecInitModifyTable relied on ExecInitJunkFilter,
and thence ExecCleanTypeFromTL, to build the target descriptor from
the query tlist.  While we just checked (in ExecCheckPlanOutput)
that the tlist produces compatible output, this is not a great
substitute for the relation's actual tuple descriptor that's
available from the relcache.  For one thing, dropped columns will
not be correctly marked attisdropped; it's a bit surprising that
we've gotten away with that this long.  But the real reason for
being concerned with this is that using the table's descriptor means
that the slot will have correct attrmissing data, allowing us to
revert the klugy fix of commit ba9f18abd.  (This commit undoes
that one's changes in trigger.c, but keeps the new test case.)
Thus we can solve the bogus-trigger-tuple problem with fewer cycles
rather than more.

ba9f18abd's narrow fix.

Tom Lane ba9f18abd3 Fix corner case for a BEFORE ROW UPDATE trigger returning OLD.
If the old row has any "missing" attributes that are supposed to
be retrieved from an associated tuple descriptor, the wrong things
happened because the trigger result is shoved directly into an
executor slot that lacks the missing-attribute data.  Notably,
CHECK-constraint verification would incorrectly see those columns
as NULL, and so would RETURNING-list evaluation.

Band-aid around this by forcibly expanding the tuple before passing
it to the trigger function.  (IMO it was a fundamental misdesign to
put the missing-attribute data into tuple constraints, which so
much of the system considers to be optional.  But we're probably
stuck with that now, and will have to continue to apply band-aids
as we find other places with similar issues.)

Back-patch to v12.  v11 would also have the issue, except that
commit 920311ab1 already applied a similar band-aid.  That forced
expansion in more cases than seem really necessary, though, so
this isn't a directly equivalent fix.

ModifyTableState->mt_per_subplan_tupconv_maps array, or when tuple
routing was used, in
ResultRelInfo->ri_Partitioninfo->pi_PartitionToRootMap. The new field
replaces both of those.

Now that the child-to-root tuple conversion map is always available in
ResultRelInfo (when needed), remove the TransitionCaptureState.tcs_map
field. The callers of Exec*Trigger() functions no longer need to set or
save it, which is much less confusing and bug-prone. Also, as a future

Heikki Linnakangas 1375422c78 Create ResultRelInfos later in InitPlan, index them by RT index.
Instead of allocating all the ResultRelInfos upfront in one big array,
allocate them in ExecInitModifyTable(). es_result_relations is now an
array of ResultRelInfo pointers, rather than an array of structs, and it
is indexed by the RT index.

This simplifies things: we get rid of the separate concept of a "result
rel index", and don't need to set it in setrefs.c anymore. This also
allows follow-up optimizations (not included in this commit yet) to skip
initializing ResultRelInfos for target relations that were not needed at
runtime, and removal of the es_result_relation_info pointer.

The EState arrays of regular result rels and root result rels are merged
into one array. Similarly, the resultRelations and rootResultRelations
lists in PlannedStmt are merged into one. It's not actually clear to me
why they were kept separate in the first place, but now that the
es_result_relations array is indexed by RT index, it certainly seems
pointless.

The PlannedStmt->resultRelations list is now only needed for
ExecRelationIsTargetRelation(). One visible effect of this change is that
ExecRelationIsTargetRelation() will now return 'true' also for the
partition root, if a partitioned table is updated. That seems like a good
thing, although the function isn't used in core code, and I don't see any
reason for an FDW to call it on a partition root.

Michael Paquier 10c5291cc2 Fix handling of redundant options with COPY for "freeze" and "header"
The handling of those options was inconsistent, as the processing used
directly the value assigned to the option to check if it was redundant,
leading to patterns like this one to succeed (note that false is
specified first):
COPY hoge to '/path/to/file/' (header off, header on);

And the opposite would fail correctly (note that true is first here):
COPY hoge to '/path/to/file/' (header on, header off);

While on it, add some tests to check for all redundant patterns with the
options of COPY.  I have gone through the code and did not notice
similar mistakes for other commands.

"header" got it wrong since b63990c, and "freeze" was wrong from the
start as of 8de72b6.  No backpatch is done per the lack of complaints.

- Report the correct parent relation with the index actually being

Tom Lane 56fe008996 Add for_each_from, to simplify loops starting from non-first list cells.
We have a dozen or so places that need to iterate over all but the
first cell of a List.  Prior to v13 this was typically written as
	for_each_cell(lc, lnext(list_head(list)))
Commit 1cff1b95a changed these to
	for_each_cell(lc, list, list_second_cell(list))
This patch introduces a new macro for_each_from() which expresses
the start point as a list index, allowing these to be written as
	for_each_from(lc, list, 1)
This is marginally more efficient, since ForEachState.i can be
initialized directly instead of backing into it from a ListCell
address.  It also seems clearer and less typo-prone.

Some of the remaining uses of for_each_cell() look like they could
profitably be changed to for_each_from(), but here I confined myself
to changing uses of list_second_cell().

Also, fix for_each_cell_setup() and for_both_cell_setup() to
const-ify their arguments; that's a simple oversight in 1cff1b95a.

Back-patch into v13, on the grounds that (1) the const-ification
is a minor bug fix, and (2) it's better for back-patching purposes
if we only have two ways to write these loops rather than three.

In HEAD, also remove list_third_cell() and list_fourth_cell(),
which were also introduced in 1cff1b95a, and are unused as of
cc99baa43.  It seems unlikely that any third-party code would
have started to use them already; anyone who has can be directed
to list_nth_cell instead.

Tom Lane e55f718fc4 Revise RelationBuildRowSecurity() to avoid memory leaks.
This function leaked some memory while loading qual clauses for
an RLS policy.  While ordinarily negligible, that could build up
in some repeated-reload cases, as reported by Konstantin Knizhnik.
We can improve matters by borrowing the coding long used in
RelationBuildRuleLock: build stringToNode's result directly in
the target context, and remember to explicitly pfree the
input string.

This patch by no means completely guarantees zero leaks within
this function, since we have no real guarantee that the catalog-
reading subroutines it calls don't leak anything.  However,
practical tests suggest that this is enough to resolve the issue.
In any case, any remaining leaks are similar to those risked by
RelationBuildRuleLock and other relcache-loading subroutines.
If we need to fix them, we should adopt a more global approach
such as that used by the RECOVER_RELATION_BUILD_MEMORY hack.

While here, let's remove the need for an expensive PG_TRY block by
using MemoryContextSetParent to reparent an initially-short-lived
context for the RLS data.

Back-patch to all supported branches.

buffer pool.  Rearrange things so that data collected in CheckpointStats
includes SLRU activity.

the issue, when one can be identified.

That part is also for naught if we can't determine the query position of
the column with the problem.  Improve transformPartitionBoundValue so

Tom Lane 1ed6b89563 Remove support for postfix (right-unary) operators.
This feature has been a thorn in our sides for a long time, causing
many grammatical ambiguity problems.  It doesn't seem worth the
pain to continue to support it, so remove it.

There are some follow-on improvements we can make in the grammar,
but this commit only removes the bare minimum number of productions,
plus assorted backend support code.

Note that pg_dump and psql continue to have full support, since
they may be used against older servers.  However, pg_dump warns
about postfix operators.  There is also a check in pg_upgrade.

Documentation-wise, I (tgl) largely removed the "left unary"
terminology in favor of saying "prefix operator", which is
a more standard and IMO less confusing term.

I included a catversion bump, although no initial catalog data
changes here, to mark the boundary at which oprkind = 'r'
stopped being valid in pg_operator.

Tom Lane 2000b6c10a Don't fetch partition check expression during InitResultRelInfo.
Since there is only one place that actually needs the partition check
expression, namely ExecPartitionCheck, it's better to fetch it from
the relcache there.  In this way we will never fetch it at all if
the query never has use for it, and we still fetch it just once when
we do need it.

The reason for taking an interest in this is that if the relcache
doesn't already have the check expression cached, fetching it
requires obtaining AccessShareLock on the partition root.  That
means that operations that look like they should only touch the
partition itself will also take a lock on the root.  In particular
we observed that TRUNCATE on a partition may take a lock on the
partition's root, contributing to a deadlock situation in parallel
pg_restore.

As written, this patch does have a small cost, which is that we
are microscopically reducing efficiency for the case where a partition
has an empty check expression.  ExecPartitionCheck will be called,
and will go through the motions of setting up and checking an empty
qual, where before it would not have been called at all.  We could
avoid that by adding a separate boolean flag to track whether there
is a partition expression to test.  However, this case only arises
for a default partition with no siblings, which surely is not an
interesting case in practice.  Hence adding complexity for it
does not seem like a good trade-off.

Tom Lane e5fac1cb19 Avoid unnecessary recursion to child tables in ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL.
If a partitioned table's column is already marked NOT NULL, there is
no need to examine its partitions, because we can rely on previous
DDL to have enforced that the child columns are NOT NULL as well.
(Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for traditional inheritance,
so for now we have to restrict the optimization to partitioned tables.)
Hence, we may skip recursing to child tables in this situation.

The reason this case is worth worrying about is that when pg_dump dumps
a partitioned table having a primary key, it will include the requisite
NOT NULL markings in the CREATE TABLE commands, and then add the
primary key as a separate step.  The primary key addition generates a
SET NOT NULL as a subcommand, just to be sure.  So the situation where
a SET NOT NULL is redundant does arise in the real world.

Skipping the recursion does more than just save a few cycles: it means
that a command such as "ALTER TABLE ONLY partition_parent ADD PRIMARY
KEY" will take locks only on the partition parent table, not on the
partitions.  It turns out that parallel pg_restore is effectively
assuming that that's true, and has little choice but to do so because
the dependencies listed for such a TOC entry don't include the
partitions.  pg_restore could thus issue this ALTER while data restores
on the partitions are still in progress.  Taking unnecessary locks on
the partitions not only hurts concurrency, but can lead to actual
deadlock failures, as reported by Domagoj Smoljanovic.

(A contributing factor in the deadlock is that TRUNCATE on a child
partition wants a non-exclusive lock on the parent.  This seems
likewise unnecessary, but the fix for it is more invasive so we
won't consider back-patching it.  Fortunately, getting rid of one
of these two poor behaviors is enough to remove the deadlock.)

Although support for partitioned primary keys came in with v11,
this patch is dependent on the SET NOT NULL refactoring done by
commit f4a3fdfbd, so we can only patch back to v12.

Patch by me; thanks to Alvaro Herrera and Amit Langote for review.

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

* 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.

Tom Lane a7212be8b9 Set cutoff xmin more aggressively when vacuuming a temporary table.
Since other sessions aren't allowed to look into a temporary table
of our own session, we do not need to worry about the global xmin
horizon when setting the vacuum XID cutoff.  Indeed, if we're not
inside a transaction block, we may set oldestXmin to be the next
XID, because there cannot be any in-doubt tuples in a temp table,
nor any tuples that are dead but still visible to some snapshot of
our transaction.  (VACUUM, of course, is never inside a transaction
block; but we need to test that because CLUSTER shares the same code.)

This approach allows us to always clean out a temp table completely
during VACUUM, independently of concurrent activity.  Aside from
being useful in its own right, that simplifies building reproducible
test cases.

Tom Lane 3d351d916b Redefine pg_class.reltuples to be -1 before the first VACUUM or ANALYZE.
Historically, we've considered the state with relpages and reltuples
both zero as indicating that we do not know the table's tuple density.
This is problematic because it's impossible to distinguish "never yet
vacuumed" from "vacuumed and seen to be empty".  In particular, a user
cannot use VACUUM or ANALYZE to override the planner's normal heuristic
that an empty table should not be believed to be empty because it is
probably about to get populated.  That heuristic is a good safety
measure, so I don't care to abandon it, but there should be a way to
override it if the table is indeed intended to stay empty.

Hence, represent the initial state of ignorance by setting reltuples
to -1 (relpages is still set to zero), and apply the minimum-ten-pages
heuristic only when reltuples is still -1.  If the table is empty,
VACUUM or ANALYZE (but not CREATE INDEX) will override that to
reltuples = relpages = 0, and then we'll plan on that basis.

This requires a bunch of fiddly little changes, but we can get rid of
some ugly kluges that were formerly needed to maintain the old definition.

One notable point is that FDWs' GetForeignRelSize methods will see
baserel->tuples = -1 when no ANALYZE has been done on the foreign table.
That seems like a net improvement, since those methods were formerly
also in the dark about what baserel->tuples = 0 really meant.  Still,
it is an API change.

I bumped catversion because code predating this change would get confused
by seeing reltuples = -1.

self-referential fkeys are surely a pretty niche case, this used to
work so we shouldn't break it.

To fix, reorganize the scheduling rules in ATParseTransformCmd so
that a transformed AT_AddConstraint subcommand will be delayed into
a later pass in all cases, not only when it's been spit out as a
side-effect of parsing some other command type.

The cause of the problem for LIKE is that parse_utilcmd.c supposed
it could renumber such Vars correctly during transformCreateStmt(),
which it cannot since we have not yet accounted for columns added via
inheritance.  Fix that by postponing processing of LIKE INCLUDING
CONSTRAINTS, DEFAULTS, GENERATED, INDEXES till after we've performed
DefineRelation().

The error with GENERATED and multiple inheritance is a simple oversight
in MergeAttributes(); it knows it has to renumber Vars in inherited
CHECK constraints, but forgot to apply the same processing to inherited
GENERATED expressions (a/k/a defaults).

Per bug #16272 from Tom Gottfried.  The non-GENERATED variants of the
issue are ancient, presumably dating right back to the addition of
CREATE TABLE LIKE; hence back-patch to all supported branches.

Fujii Masao 9d701e624f Rework EXPLAIN for planner's buffer usage.
Commit ce77abe63c allowed EXPLAIN (BUFFERS) to report the information
on buffer usage during planning phase. However three issues were
reported regarding this feature.

(1) Previously, EXPLAIN option BUFFERS required ANALYZE. So the query
    had to be actually executed by specifying ANALYZE even when we
    want to see only the planner's buffer usage. This was inconvenient
    especially when the query was write one like DELETE.

(2) EXPLAIN included the planner's buffer usage in summary
    information. So SUMMARY option had to be enabled to report that.
    Also this format was confusing.

(3) The output structure for planning information was not consistent
    between TEXT format and the others. For example, "Planning" tag
    was output in JSON format, but not in TEXT format.

For (1), this commit allows us to perform EXPLAIN (BUFFERS) without
ANALYZE to report the planner's buffer usage.

For (2), this commit changed EXPLAIN output so that the planner's
buffer usage is reported before summary information.

For (3), this commit made the output structure for planning
information more consistent between the formats.

Back-patch to v13 where the planner's buffer usage was allowed to
be reported in EXPLAIN.

The SimpleLruTruncate() header comment states the new coding rule.  To
achieve this, add locktype "frozenid" and two LWLocks.  This closes a
rare opportunity for data loss, which manifested as "apparent
wraparound" or "could not access status of transaction" errors.  Data
loss is more likely in pg_multixact, due to released branches' thin
margin between multiStopLimit and multiWrapLimit.  If a user's physical
replication primary logged ":  apparent wraparound" messages, the user
should rebuild standbys of that primary regardless of symptoms.  At less
risk is a cluster having emitted "not accepting commands" errors or
"must be vacuumed" warnings at some point.  One can test a cluster for
this data loss by running VACUUM FREEZE in every database.  Back-patch
to 9.5 (all supported versions).

Similar to the previous commit this increases the chance that data

Andres Freund 941697c3c1 snapshot scalability: Introduce dense array of in-progress xids.
The new array contains the xids for all connected backends / in-use
PGPROC entries in a dense manner (in contrast to the PGPROC/PGXACT
arrays which can have unused entries interspersed).

This improves performance because GetSnapshotData() always needs to
scan the xids of all live procarray entries and now there's no need to
go through the procArray->pgprocnos indirection anymore.

As the set of running top-level xids changes rarely, compared to the
number of snapshots taken, this substantially increases the likelihood
of most data required for a snapshot being in l2 cache.  In
read-mostly workloads scanning the xids[] array will sufficient to
build a snapshot, as most backends will not have an xid assigned.

To keep the xid array dense ProcArrayRemove() needs to move entries
behind the to-be-removed proc's one further up in the array. Obviously
moving array entries cannot happen while a backend sets it
xid. I.e. locking needs to prevent that array entries are moved while
a backend modifies its xid.

To avoid locking ProcArrayLock in GetNewTransactionId() - a fairly hot
spot already - ProcArrayAdd() / ProcArrayRemove() now needs to hold
XidGenLock in addition to ProcArrayLock. Adding / Removing a procarray
entry is not a very frequent operation, even taking 2PC into account.

Due to the above, the dense array entries can only be read or modified
while holding ProcArrayLock and/or XidGenLock. This prevents a
concurrent ProcArrayRemove() from shifting the dense array while it is
accessed concurrently.

While the new dense array is very good when needing to look at all
xids it is less suitable when accessing a single backend's xid. In
particular it would be problematic to have to acquire a lock to access
a backend's own xid. Therefore a backend's xid is not just stored in
the dense array, but also in PGPROC. This also allows a backend to
only access the shared xid value when the backend had acquired an
xid.

The infrastructure added in this commit will be used for the remaining
PGXACT fields in subsequent commits. They are kept separate to make
review easier.

Andres Freund 1f51c17c68 snapshot scalability: Move PGXACT->xmin back to PGPROC.
Now that xmin isn't needed for GetSnapshotData() anymore, it leads to
unnecessary cacheline ping-pong to have it in PGXACT, as it is updated
considerably more frequently than the other PGXACT members.

After the changes in dc7420c2c9, this is a very straight-forward change.

For highly concurrent, snapshot acquisition heavy, workloads this change alone
can significantly increase scalability. E.g. plain pgbench on a smaller 2
socket machine gains 1.07x for read-only pgbench, 1.22x for read-only pgbench
when submitting queries in batches of 100, and 2.85x for batches of 100
'SELECT';.  The latter numbers are obviously not to be expected in the
real-world, but micro-benchmark the snapshot computation
scalability (previously spending ~80% of the time in GetSnapshotData()).

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.

destination buffer instead of providing just one trailing zero.  For
all but a tiny number of callers, that's just overhead rather than
being desirable.

Remove StrNCpy() as it is now unused.

In some cases, namestrcpy() is the more appropriate function to use.
While we're here, simplify the API of namestrcpy(): Remove the return
value, don't check for NULL input.  Nothing was using that anyway.
Also, remove a few unused name-related functions.

Tom Lane 7eeb1d9861 Make contrib modules' installation scripts more secure.
Hostile objects located within the installation-time search_path could
capture references in an extension's installation or upgrade script.
If the extension is being installed with superuser privileges, this
opens the door to privilege escalation.  While such hazards have existed
all along, their urgency increases with the v13 "trusted extensions"
feature, because that lets a non-superuser control the installation path
for a superuser-privileged script.  Therefore, make a number of changes
to make such situations more secure:

* Tweak the construction of the installation-time search_path to ensure
that references to objects in pg_catalog can't be subverted; and
explicitly add pg_temp to the end of the path to prevent attacks using
temporary objects.

* Disable check_function_bodies within installation/upgrade scripts,
so that any security gaps in SQL-language or PL-language function bodies
cannot create a risk of unwanted installation-time code execution.

* Adjust lookup of type input/receive functions and join estimator
functions to complain if there are multiple candidate functions.  This
prevents capture of references to functions whose signature is not the
first one checked; and it's arguably more user-friendly anyway.

* Modify various contrib upgrade scripts to ensure that catalog
modification queries are executed with secure search paths.  (These
are in-place modifications with no extension version changes, since
it is the update process itself that is at issue, not the end result.)

Extensions that depend on other extensions cannot be made fully secure
by these methods alone; therefore, revert the "trusted" marking that
commit eb67623c9 applied to earthdistance and hstore_plperl, pending
some better solution to that set of issues.

Also add documentation around these issues, to help extension authors
write secure installation scripts.

David Rowley d5e96520ff Fix bogus EXPLAIN output for Hash Aggregate
9bdb300de modified the EXPLAIN output for Hash Aggregate to show details
from parallel workers. However, it neglected to consider that a given
parallel worker may not have assisted with the given Hash Aggregate. This
can occur when workers fail to start or during Parallel Append with
enable_partitionwise_join enabled when only a single worker is working on
a non-parallel aware sub-plan. It could also happen if a worker simply
wasn't fast enough to get any work done before other processes went and
finished all the work.

The bogus output came from the fact that ExplainOpenWorker() skipped
showing any details for non-initialized workers but show_hashagg_info()
did show details from the worker.  This meant that the worker properties
that were shown were not properly attributed to the worker that they
belong to.

In passing, we also now don't show Hash Aggregate properties for the
leader process when it did not contribute any work to the Hash Aggregate.
This can occur either during Parallel Append when only a parallel worker
worked on a given sub plan or with parallel_leader_participation set to
off.  This aims to make the behavior of Hash Aggregate's EXPLAIN output
more similar to Sort's.

Tom Lane 9f9682783b Invent "amadjustmembers" AM method for validating opclass members.
This allows AM-specific knowledge to be applied during creation of
pg_amop and pg_amproc entries.  Specifically, the AM knows better than
core code which entries to consider as required or optional.  Giving
the latter entries the appropriate sort of dependency allows them to
be dropped without taking out the whole opclass or opfamily; which
is something we'd like to have to correct obsolescent entries in
extensions.

This callback also opens the door to performing AM-specific validity
checks during opclass creation, rather than hoping than an opclass
developer will remember to test with "amvalidate".  For the most part
I've not actually added any such checks yet; that can happen in a
follow-on patch.  (Note that we shouldn't remove any tests from
"amvalidate", as those are still needed to cross-check manually
constructed entries in the initdb data.  So adding tests to
"amadjustmembers" will be somewhat duplicative, but it seems like
a good idea anyway.)

number of items to insert and the length of the rows involved.

More can be done for other catalogs, like pg_depend.  This part requires
a different approach as the number of slots to use depends also on the

related to the rework or dependency handling for ALTER TABLE and CREATE
