Robert Haas 453f53821f amcheck: In verify_heapam, allows tuples with xmin 0.
Commit e88754a196 caused that case
to be reported as corruption, but Peter Geoghegan pointed out that
it can legitimately happen in the case of a speculative insertion
that aborts, so we'd better not flag it as corruption after all.

Back-patch to v14, like the commit that introduced the issue.

Robert Haas 701ec55579 amcheck: Fix verify_heapam for tuples where xmin or xmax is 0.
In such cases, get_xid_status() doesn't set its output parameter (the
third argument), so we shouldn't fall through to code which will test
the value of that parameter. There are five existing calls to
get_xid_status(), three of which seem to already handle this case
properly.  This commit tries to fix the other two.

If we're checking xmin and find that it is invalid (i.e. 0) just
report that as corruption, similar to what's already done in the
three cases that seem correct. If we're checking xmax and find
that's invalid, that's fine: it just means that the tuple hasn't
been updated or deleted.

Thanks to Andres Freund and valgrind for finding this problem, and
also to Andres for having a look at the patch.  This bug seems to go
all the way back to where verify_heapam was first introduced, but
wasn't detected until recently, possibly because of the new test cases
added for update chain verification.  Back-patch to v14, where this
code showed up.

Andres Freund e8a9750d03 amcheck: Fix FullTransactionIdFromXidAndCtx() for xids before epoch 0
64bit xids can't represent xids before epoch 0 (see also be504a3e97). When
FullTransactionIdFromXidAndCtx() was passed such an xid, it'd create a 64bit
xid far into the future. Noticed while adding assertions in the course of
investigating be504a3e97, as amcheck's test create such xids.

To fix the issue, just return FirstNormalFullTransactionId in this case. A
freshly initdb'd cluster already has a newer horizon. The most minimal version
of this would make the messages for some detected corruptions differently
inaccurate. To make those cases accurate, switch
FullTransactionIdFromXidAndCtx() to use the 32bit modulo difference between
xid and nextxid to compute the 64bit xid, yielding sensible "in the future" /
"in the past" answers.

Andres Freund 6d9588108a amcheck: Fix ordering bug in update_cached_xid_range()
The initialization order in update_cached_xid_range() was wrong, calling
FullTransactionIdFromXidAndCtx() before setting
->next_xid. FullTransactionIdFromXidAndCtx() uses ->next_xid.

In most situations this will not cause visible issues, because the next call
to update_cached_xid_range() will use a less wrong ->next_xid. It's rare that
xids advance fast enough for this to be a problem.

Found while adding more asserts to the 64bit xid infrastructure.

Michael Paquier f2f7e509e6 Rename SetSingleFuncCall() to InitMaterializedSRF()
Per discussion, the existing routine name able to initialize a SRF
function with materialize mode is unpopular, so rename it.  Equally, the
flags of this function are renamed, as of:
- SRF_SINGLE_USE_EXPECTED -> MAT_SRF_USE_EXPECTED_DESC
- SRF_SINGLE_BLESS -> MAT_SRF_BLESS
The previous function and flags introduced in 9e98583 are kept around
for compatibility purposes, so as any extension code already compiled
with v15 continues to work as-is.  The declarations introduced here for
compatibility will be removed from HEAD in a follow-up commit.

The new names have been suggested by Andres Freund and Melanie
Plageman.

When a feature enumerates relations and runs functions associated with
all found relations, the feature's user shall not need to trust every
user having permission to create objects.  BRIN-specific functionality
in autovacuum neglected to account for this, as did pg_amcheck and
CLUSTER.  An attacker having permission to create non-temp objects in at
least one schema could execute arbitrary SQL functions under the
identity of the bootstrap superuser.  CREATE INDEX (not a
relation-enumerating operation) and REINDEX protected themselves too
late.  This change extends to the non-enumerating amcheck interface.

Tom Lane 174877f1e3 Harden TAP tests that intentionally corrupt page checksums.
The previous method for doing that was to write zeroes into a
predetermined set of page locations.  However, there's a roughly
1-in-64K chance that the existing checksum will match by chance,
and yesterday several buildfarm animals started to reproducibly
see that, resulting in test failures because no checksum mismatch
was reported.

Since the checksum includes the page LSN, test success depends on
the length of the installation's WAL history, which is affected by
(at least) the initial catalog contents, the set of locales installed
on the system, and the length of the pathname of the test directory.
Sooner or later we were going to hit a chance match, and today is
that day.

Harden these tests by specifically inverting the checksum field and
leaving all else alone, thereby guaranteeing that the checksum is
incorrect.

In passing, fix places that were using seek() to set up for syswrite(),
a combination that the Perl docs very explicitly warn against.  We've
probably escaped problems because no regular buffered I/O is done on
these filehandles; but if it ever breaks, we wouldn't deserve or get
much sympathy.

Although we've only seen problems in HEAD, now that we recognize the
environmental dependencies it seems like it might be just a matter
of time until someone manages to hit this in back-branch testing.
Hence, back-patch to v11 where we started doing this kind of test.

Michael Paquier 5b81703787 Simplify SRFs using materialize mode in contrib/ modules
9e98583 introduced a helper to centralize building their needed state
(tuplestore, tuple descriptors, etc.), checking for any errors.  This
commit updates all places of contrib/ that can be switched to use
SetSingleFuncCall() as a drop-in replacement, resulting in the removal
of a lot of boilerplate code in all the modules updated by this commit.

Per analysis, some places remain as they are:
- pg_logdir_ls() in adminpack/ uses historically TYPEFUNC_RECORD as
return type, and I suspect that changing it may cause issues at run-time
with some of its past versions, down to 1.0.
- dblink/ uses a wrapper function doing exactly the work of
SetSingleFuncCall().  Here the switch should be possible, but rather
invasive so it does not seem the extra backpatch maintenance cost.
- tablefunc/, similarly, uses multiple helper functions with portions of
SetSingleFuncCall() spread across the code paths of this module.

Rather than doing manual book keeping to plan the number of tests to run
in each TAP suite, conclude each run with done_testing() summing up the

updating the plan count at the expense of an accurate count of remaining
during the test suite runtime.

This patch has been discussed a number of times, often in the context of
other patches which updates tests, so a larger number of discussions can
be found in the archives.

Standardize on xoroshiro128** as our basic PRNG algorithm, eliminating
a bunch of platform dependencies as well as fundamentally-obsolete PRNG
code.  In addition, this API replacement will ease replacing the
algorithm again in future, should that become necessary.

xoroshiro128** is a few percent slower than the drand48 family,
but it can produce full-width 64-bit random values not only 48-bit,
and it should be much more trustworthy.  It's likely to be noticeably
faster than the platform's random(), depending on which platform you
are thinking about; and we can have non-global state vectors easily,
unlike with random().  It is not cryptographically strong, but neither
are the functions it replaces.

Tom Lane 7f580aa5d8 Improve contrib/amcheck's tests for CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY.
Commits fdd965d07 and 3cd9c3b92 tested CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY by
launching two separate pgbench runs concurrently.  This was needed so
that only a single client thread would run CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY,
avoiding deadlock between two CICs.  However, there's a better way,
which is to use an advisory lock to prevent concurrent CICs.  That's
better in part because the test code is shorter and more readable, but
mostly because it automatically scales things to launch an appropriate
number of CICs relative to the number of INSERT transactions.
As committed, typically half to three-quarters of the CIC transactions
were pointless because the INSERT transactions had already stopped.

In passing, remove background_pgbench, which was added to support
these tests and isn't needed anymore.  We can always put it back
if we find a use for it later.

Peter Geoghegan 292698f158 amcheck: Skip unlogged relations in Hot Standby.
Have verify_heapam.c treat unlogged relations as if they were simply
empty when in Hot Standby mode.  This brings it in line with
verify_nbtree.c, which has handled unlogged relations in the same way
since bugfix commit 6754fe65a4.  This was an oversight in commit
866e24d47d, which extended contrib/amcheck to check heap relations.

In passing, lower the verbosity used when reporting that a relation has
been skipped like this, from NOTICE to DEBUG1.  This is appropriate
because the skipping behavior is only an implementation detail, needed
to work around the fact that unlogged tables don't have smgr-level
storage for their main fork when in Hot Standby mode.

Affected unlogged relations should be considered "trivially verified",
not skipped over.  They are verified in the same sense that a totally
empty relation can be verified.  This behavior seems least surprising
overall, since unlogged relations on a replica will initially be empty
if and when the replica is promoted and Hot Standby ends.

Tom Lane f10f0ae420 Replace RelationOpenSmgr() with RelationGetSmgr().
The idea behind this patch is to design out bugs like the one fixed
by commit 9d523119f.  Previously, once one did RelationOpenSmgr(rel),
it was considered okay to access rel->rd_smgr directly for some
not-very-clear interval.  But since that pointer will be cleared by
relcache flushes, we had bugs arising from overreliance on a previous
RelationOpenSmgr call still being effective.

Now, very little code except that in rel.h and relcache.c should ever
touch the rd_smgr field directly.  The normal coding rule is to use
RelationGetSmgr(rel) and not expect the result to be valid for longer
than one smgr function call.  There are a couple of places where using
the function every single time seemed like overkill, but they are now
annotated with large warning comments.

Amul Sul, after an idea of mine.

Most error messages about a relkind that was not supported or
appropriate for the command was of the pattern

    "relation \"%s\" is not a table, foreign table, or materialized view"

This style can become verbose and tedious to maintain.  Moreover, it's
not very helpful: If I'm trying to create a comment on a TOAST table,
which is not supported, then the information that I could have created
a comment on a materialized view is pointless.

Instead, write the primary error message shorter and saying more
directly that what was attempted is not possible.  Then, in the detail
message, explain that the operation is not supported for the relkind
the object was.  To simplify that, add a new function
errdetail_relkind_not_supported() that does this.

In passing, make use of RELKIND_HAS_STORAGE() where appropriate,
instead of listing out the relkinds individually.

Peter Eisentraut 97b7134186 amcheck: Fix code comments
Code comments were claiming that verify_heapam() was checking
privileges on the relation it was operating on, but it didn't actually
do that.  Perhaps earlier versions of the patch did that, but now the
access is regulated by privileges on the function.  Remove the wrong
comments.

Tom Lane def5b065ff Initial pgindent and pgperltidy run for v14.
Also "make reformat-dat-files".

The only change worthy of note is that pgindent messed up the formatting
of launcher.c's struct LogicalRepWorkerId, which led me to notice that
that struct wasn't used at all anymore, so I just took it out.

Robert Haas 50529e5b4e amcheck: Improve some confusing reports about TOAST problems.
Don't phrase reports in terms of the number of tuples thus-far
returned by the index scan, but rather in terms of the chunk_seq
values found inside the tuples.

Patch by me, reviewed by Mark Dilger.

Peter Geoghegan bb3ecc8c96 amcheck: MAXALIGN() nbtree special area offset.
This isn't strictly necessary, but in theory it might matter if in the
future the width of the nbtree special area changes -- its total size
might not be an even number of MAXALIGN() quantums, even with padding.
PageInit() MAXALIGN()s all special area offsets, but amcheck uses the
offset to perform initial basic validation of line pointers, so we don't
rely on the offset from the page header.

The real reason to do this is to set a good example for new code that
adds amcheck coverage for other index AMs.

Michael Paquier c731f9187b Replace magic constants for seek() calls in perl scripts
A couple of tests have been using 0 as magic constant while SEEK_SET can
be used instead.  This makes the code easier to understand, and more
consistent with the changes done in 3c5b068.

Per discussion with Andrew Dunstan.

Robert Haas 9acaf1a621 amcheck: Reword some messages and fix an alignment problem.
We don't need to mention the attribute number in these messages, because
there's a dedicated column for that, but we should mention the toast
value ID, because that's really useful for any follow-up troubleshooting
the user wants to do. This also rewords some of the messages to hopefully
read a little better.

Also, use VARATT_EXTERNAL_GET_POINTER in case we're accessing a TOAST
pointer that isn't aligned on a platform that's fussy about alignment,
so that we don't crash while corruption-checking the user's data.

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.

Robert Haas bbe0a81db6 Allow configurable LZ4 TOAST compression.
There is now a per-column COMPRESSION option which can be set to pglz
(the default, and the only option in up until now) or lz4. Or, if you
like, you can set the new default_toast_compression GUC to lz4, and
then that will be the default for new table columns for which no value
is specified. We don't have lz4 support in the PostgreSQL code, so
to use lz4 compression, PostgreSQL must be built --with-lz4.

In general, TOAST compression means compression of individual column
values, not the whole tuple, and those values can either be compressed
inline within the tuple or compressed and then stored externally in
the TOAST table, so those properties also apply to this feature.

Prior to this commit, a TOAST pointer has two unused bits as part of
the va_extsize field, and a compessed datum has two unused bits as
part of the va_rawsize field. These bits are unused because the length
of a varlena is limited to 1GB; we now use them to indicate the
compression type that was used. This means we only have bit space for
2 more built-in compresison types, but we could work around that
problem, if necessary, by introducing a new vartag_external value for
any further types we end up wanting to add. Hopefully, it won't be
too important to offer a wide selection of algorithms here, since
each one we add not only takes more coding but also adds a build
dependency for every packager. Nevertheless, it seems worth doing
at least this much, because LZ4 gets better compression than PGLZ
with less CPU usage.

It's possible for LZ4-compressed datums to leak into composite type
values stored on disk, just as it is for PGLZ. It's also possible for
LZ4-compressed attributes to be copied into a different table via SQL
commands such as CREATE TABLE AS or INSERT .. SELECT.  It would be
expensive to force such values to be decompressed, so PostgreSQL has
never done so. For the same reasons, we also don't force recompression
of already-compressed values even if the target table prefers a
different compression method than was used for the source data.  These
architectural decisions are perhaps arguable but revisiting them is
well beyond the scope of what seemed possible to do as part of this
project.  However, it's relatively cheap to recompress as part of
VACUUM FULL or CLUSTER, so this commit adjusts those commands to do
so, if the configured compression method of the table happens not to
match what was used for some column value stored therein.

Dilip Kumar. The original patches on which this work was based were
written by Ildus Kurbangaliev, and those were patches were based on
even earlier work by Nikita Glukhov, but the design has since changed
very substantially, since allow a potentially large number of
compression methods that could be added and dropped on a running
system proved too problematic given some of the architectural issues
mentioned above; the choice of which specific compression method to
add first is now different; and a lot of the code has been heavily
refactored.  More recently, Justin Przyby helped quite a bit with
testing and reviewing and this version also includes some code
contributions from him. Other design input and review from Tomas
Vondra, Álvaro Herrera, Andres Freund, Oleg Bartunov, Alexander
Korotkov, and me.
