Tom Lane e7eb07f709 Improve tzparse's handling of TZDEFRULES ("posixrules") zone data.
In the IANA timezone code, tzparse() always tries to load the zone
file named by TZDEFRULES ("posixrules").  Previously, we'd hacked
that logic to skip the load in the "lastditch" code path, which we use
only to initialize the default "GMT" zone during GUC initialization.
That's critical for a couple of reasons: since we do not support leap
seconds, we *must not* allow "GMT" to have leap seconds, and since this
case runs before the GUC subsystem is fully alive, we'd really rather
not take the risk of pg_open_tzfile throwing any errors.

However, that still left the code reading TZDEFRULES on every other
call, something we'd noticed to the extent of having added code to cache
the result so it was only done once per process not a lot of times.
Andres Freund complained about the static data space used up for the
cache; but as long as the logic was like this, there was no point in
trying to get rid of that space.

We can improve matters by looking a bit more closely at what the IANA
code actually needs the TZDEFRULES data for.  One thing it does is
that if "posixrules" is a leap-second-aware zone, the leap-second
behavior will be absorbed into every POSIX-style zone specification.
However, that's a behavior we'd really prefer to do without, since
for our purposes the end effect is to render every POSIX-style zone
name unsupported.  Otherwise, the TZDEFRULES data is used only if
the POSIX zone name specifies DST but doesn't include a transition
date rule (e.g., "EST5EDT" rather than "EST5EDT,M3.2.0,M11.1.0").
That is a minority case for our purposes --- in particular, it
never happens when tzload() invokes tzparse() to interpret a
transition date rule string found in a tzdata zone file.

Hence, if we legislate that we're going to ignore leap-second data
from "posixrules", we can postpone the TZDEFRULES load into the path
where we actually need to substitute for a missing date rule string.
That means it will never happen at all in common scenarios, making it
reasonable to dynamically allocate the cache space when it does happen.
Even when the data is already loaded, this saves some cycles in the
common code path since we avoid a memcpy of 23KB or so.  And, IMO at
least, this is a less ugly hack on the IANA logic than what we had
before, since it's not messing with the lastditch-vs-regular code paths.

Back-patch to all supported branches, not so much because this is a
critical change as that I want to keep all our copies of the IANA
timezone code in sync.

Tom Lane e15aae829e Avoid statically allocating statement cache in ecpglib/prepare.c.
This removes a megabyte of storage that isn't used at all in ecpglib's
default operating mode --- you have to enable auto-prepare to get any
use out of it.  Seems well worth the trouble to allocate on demand.

Andres Freund 28d750c0cd Reorder FmgrBuiltin members, saving 25% in size.
That's worth it, as fmgr_builtins is frequently accessed, and as
fmgr_builtins is one of the biggest constant variables in a backend.

On most 64bit systems this will change the size of the struct from
32byte to 24bytes. While that could make indexing into the array
marginally more expensive, the higher cache hit ratio is worth more,
especially because these days fmgr_builtins isn't searched with a
binary search anymore (c.f. 212e6f34d5).

Tom Lane 68fc227dd0 Back off using -isysroot on Darwin.
Rethink the solution applied in commit 5e2217131 to get PL/Tcl to
build on macOS Mojave.  I feared that adding -isysroot globally might
have undesirable consequences, and sure enough Jakob Egger reported
one: it complicates building extensions with a different Xcode version
than was used for the core server.  (I find that a risky proposition
in general, but apparently it works most of the time, so we shouldn't
break it if we don't have to.)

We'd already adopted the solution for PL/Perl of inserting the sysroot
path directly into the -I switches used to find Perl's headers, and we
can do the same thing for PL/Tcl by changing the -iwithsysroot switch
that Apple's tclConfig.sh reports.  This restricts the risks to PL/Perl
and PL/Tcl themselves and directly-dependent extensions, which is a lot
more pleasing in general than a global -isysroot switch.

Along the way, tighten the test to see if we need to inject the sysroot
path into $perl_includedir, as I'd speculated about upthread but not
gotten round to doing.

As before, back-patch to all supported versions.

Andres Freund 93ca02e005 Mark constantly allocated dest receiver as const.
This allows the compiler / linker to mark affected pages as read-only.

Doing so requires casting constness away, as CreateDestReceiver()
returns both constant and non-constant dest receivers. That's fine
though, as any modification of the statically allocated receivers
would already have been a bug (and would now be caught on some
platforms).

Andres Freund d1211c63f0 Add macro to cast away const without allowing changes to underlying type.
The new unconsitify(underlying_type, var) macro allows to cast
constness away from a variable, but doesn't allow changing the
underlying type.  Enforcement of the latter currently only works for
gcc like compilers.

Please note IT IS NOT SAFE to cast constness away if the variable will ever
be modified (it would be undefined behaviour). Doing so anyway can cause
compiler misoptimizations or runtime crashes (modifying readonly memory).
It is only safe to use when the the variable will not be modified, but API
design or language restrictions prevent you from declaring that
(e.g. because a function returns both const and non-const variables).

This'll be used in an upcoming change, but seems like it's independent
infrastructure.

Tom Lane 2c300c6807 Be smarter about age-counter overflow in formatting.c caches.
The previous code here simply threw away whatever it knew about cache
entry ages whenever a counter overflow occurred.  Since the counter
is int width and will be bumped once per format function execution,
overflows are not really so rare as to not be worth thinking about.
Instead, let's deal with the situation by halving all the age values,
essentially rescaling the age metric.  In that way, we retain a
pretty accurate (if not quite perfect) idea of which entries are oldest.

Tom Lane fd85e9f78d Avoid statically allocating formatting.c's format string caches.
This eliminates circa 120KB of static data from Postgres' memory
footprint.  In some usage patterns that space will get allocated
anyway, but in many processes it never will be allocated.

We can improve matters further by allocating only as many cache
entries as we actually use, rather than allocating the whole array
on first use.  However, to avoid wasting lots of space due to
palloc's habit of rounding requests up to power-of-2 sizes, tweak
the maximum cacheable format string length to make the struct sizes
be powers of 2 or just less.  The sizes I chose make the maximums
a little bit less than they were before, but I doubt it matters much.

While at it, rearrange struct FormatNode to avoid wasting quite so
much padding space.  This change actually halves the size of that
struct on 64-bit machines.

Andres Freund 02a30a09f9 Correct constness of system attributes in heap.c & prerequisites.
This allows the compiler / linker to mark affected pages as read-only.

There's a fair number of pre-requisite changes, to allow the const
properly be propagated. Most of consts were already required for
correctness anyway, just not represented on the type-level.  Arguably
we could be more aggressive in using consts in related code, but..

This requires using a few of the types underlying typedefs that
removes pointers (e.g. const NameData *) as declaring the typedefed
type constant doesn't have the same meaning (it makes the variable
const, not what it points to).

Tom Lane 3dfef0c519 Avoid statically allocating gmtsub()'s timezone workspace.
localtime.c's "struct state" is a rather large object, ~23KB.  We were
statically allocating one for gmtsub() to use to represent the GMT
timezone, even though that function is not at all heavily used and is
never reached in most backends.  Let's malloc it on-demand, instead.

This does pose the question of how to handle a malloc failure, but
there's already a well-defined error report convention here, ie
set errno and return NULL.

We have but one caller of pg_gmtime in HEAD, and two in back branches,
neither of which were troubling to check for error.  Make them do so.
The possible errors are sufficiently unlikely (out-of-range timestamp,
and now malloc failure) that I think elog() is adequate.

Back-patch to all supported branches to keep our copies of the IANA
timezone code in sync.  This particular change is in a stanza that
already differs from upstream, so it's a wash for maintenance purposes
--- but only as long as we keep the branches the same.

Andres Freund c5257345ef Move TupleTableSlots boolean member into one flag variable.
There's several reasons for this change:
1) It reduces the total size of TupleTableSlot / reduces alignment
   padding, making the commonly accessed members fit into a single
   cacheline (but we currently do not force proper alignment, so
   that's not yet guaranteed to be helpful)
2) Combining the booleans into a flag allows to combine read/writes
   from memory.
3) With the upcoming slot abstraction changes, it allows to have core
   and extended flags, in a memory efficient way.

heaptuple.c was never a particular good fit for slot_getattr(),
slot_getsomeattrs() and slot_getmissingattrs(), but in upcoming
changes slots will be made more abstract (allowing slots that contain
different types of tuples), making it clearly the wrong place.

Note that slot_deform_tuple() remains in it's current place, as it
clearly deals with a HeapTuple.  getmissingattrs() also remains, but
it's less clear that that's correct - but execTuples.c wouldn't be the
right place.

Tom Lane 7d4a10e260 Use PlaceHolderVars within the quals of a FULL JOIN.
This prevents failures in cases where we pull up a constant or var-free
expression from a subquery and put it into a full join's qual.  That can
result in not recognizing the qual as containing a mergejoin-able or
hashjoin-able condition.  A PHV prevents the problem because it is still
recognized as belonging to the side of the join the subquery is in.

I'm not very sure about the net effect of this change on plan quality.
In "typical" cases where the join keys are Vars, nothing changes.
In an affected case, the PHV-wrapped expression is less likely to be seen
as equal to PHV-less instances below the join, but more likely to be seen
as equal to similar expressions above the join, so it may end up being a
wash.  In the one existing case where there's any visible change in a
regression-test plan, it amounts to referencing a lower computation of a
COALESCE result instead of recomputing it, which seems like a win.

Given my uncertainty about that and the lack of field complaints,
no back-patch, even though this is a very ancient problem.

Also, in test queries that have an assumption about the maximum number
of function arguments they need to handle, add a clause to make them fail
if someday there's a relevant function with more arguments.  Otherwise

Michael Paquier 1df21ddb19 Avoid duplicate XIDs at recovery when building initial snapshot
On a primary, sets of XLOG_RUNNING_XACTS records are generated on a
periodic basis to allow recovery to build the initial state of
transactions for a hot standby.  The set of transaction IDs is created
by scanning all the entries in ProcArray.  However it happens that its
logic never counted on the fact that two-phase transactions finishing to
prepare can put ProcArray in a state where there are two entries with
the same transaction ID, one for the initial transaction which gets
cleared when prepare finishes, and a second, dummy, entry to track that
the transaction is still running after prepare finishes.  This way
ensures a continuous presence of the transaction so as callers of for
example TransactionIdIsInProgress() are always able to see it as alive.

So, if a XLOG_RUNNING_XACTS takes a standby snapshot while a two-phase
transaction finishes to prepare, the record can finish with duplicated
XIDs, which is a state expected by design.  If this record gets applied
on a standby to initial its recovery state, then it would simply fail,
so the odds of facing this failure are very low in practice.  It would
be tempting to change the generation of XLOG_RUNNING_XACTS so as
duplicates are removed on the source, but this requires to hold on
ProcArrayLock for longer and this would impact all workloads,
particularly those using heavily two-phase transactions.

XLOG_RUNNING_XACTS is also actually used only to initialize the standby
state at recovery, so instead the solution is taken to discard
duplicates when applying the initial snapshot.

Alvaro Herrera c7d43c4d8a Correct attach/detach logic for FKs in partitions
There was no code to handle foreign key constraints on partitioned
tables in the case of ALTER TABLE DETACH; and if you happened to ATTACH
a partition that already had an equivalent constraint, that one was
ignored and a new constraint was created.  Adding this to the fact that
foreign key cloning reuses the constraint name on the partition instead
of generating a new name (as it probably should, to cater to SQL
standard rules about constraint naming within schemas), the result was a
pretty poor user experience -- the most visible failure was that just
detaching a partition and re-attaching it failed with an error such as

  ERROR:  duplicate key value violates unique constraint "pg_constraint_conrelid_contypid_conname_index"
  DETAIL:  Key (conrelid, contypid, conname)=(26702, 0, test_result_asset_id_fkey) already exists.

because it would try to create an identically-named constraint in the
partition.  To make matters worse, if you tried to drop the constraint
in the now-independent partition, that would fail because the constraint
was still seen as dependent on the constraint in its former parent
partitioned table:
  ERROR:  cannot drop inherited constraint "test_result_asset_id_fkey" of relation "test_result_cbsystem_0001_0050_monthly_2018_09"

This fix attacks the problem from two angles: first, when the partition
is detached, the constraint is also marked as independent, so the drop
now works.  Second, when the partition is re-attached, we scan existing
constraints searching for one matching the FK in the parent, and if one
exists, we link that one to the parent constraint.  So we don't end up
with a duplicate -- and better yet, we don't need to scan the referenced
table to verify that the constraint holds.

To implement this I made a small change to previously planner-only
struct ForeignKeyCacheInfo to contain the constraint OID; also relcache
now maintains the list of FKs for partitioned tables too.

Backpatch to 11.

Andres Freund e9edc1ba0b Fix logical decoding error when system table w/ toast is repeatedly rewritten.
Repeatedly rewriting a mapped catalog table with VACUUM FULL or
CLUSTER could cause logical decoding to fail with:
ERROR, "could not map filenode \"%s\" to relation OID"

To trigger the problem the rewritten catalog had to have live tuples
with toasted columns.

The problem was triggered as during catalog table rewrites the
heap_insert() check that prevents logical decoding information to be
emitted for system catalogs, failed to treat the new heap's toast table
as a system catalog (because the new heap is not recognized as a
catalog table via RelationIsLogicallyLogged()). The relmapper, in
contrast to the normal catalog contents, does not contain historical
information. After a single rewrite of a mapped table the new relation
is known to the relmapper, but if the table is rewritten twice before
logical decoding occurs, the relfilenode cannot be mapped to a
relation anymore.  Which then leads us to error out.   This only
happens for toast tables, because the main table contents aren't
re-inserted with heap_insert().

The fix is simple, add a new heap_insert() flag that prevents logical
decoding information from being emitted, and accept during decoding
that there might not be tuple data for toast tables.

Unfortunately that does not fix pre-existing logical decoding
errors. Doing so would require not throwing an error when a filenode
cannot be mapped to a relation during decoding, and that seems too
likely to hide bugs.  If it's crucial to fix decoding for an existing
slot, temporarily changing the ERROR in ReorderBufferCommit() to a
WARNING appears to be the best fix.

The previous check for a "complete query" omitted the new
PROCESS_UTILITY_QUERY_NONATOMIC value.  This didn't actually make a
difference in practice, because only CALL and SET from PL/pgSQL run in
this state, but it's more correct to include it anyway.

Peter Eisentraut f8c10f616f Turn transaction_isolation into GUC enum
It was previously a string setting that was converted into an enum by
custom code, but using the GUC enum facility seems much simpler and
doesn't change any functionality, except that

    set transaction_isolation='default';

no longer works, but that was never documented and doesn't work with
any other transaction characteristics.  (Note that this is not the
same as RESET or SET TO DEFAULT, which still work.)

Tom Lane b6b297d20d Make src/common/exec.c's error logging less ugly.
This code used elog where it really ought to use ereport, mainly so that
it can report a SQLSTATE different from ERRCODE_INTERNAL_ERROR.  There
were some other random deviations from typical error report practice too.

In addition, we can make some cleanups that were impractical six months
ago:

* Use one variadic macro, instead of several with different numbers
of arguments, reducing the temptation to force-fit messages into
particular numbers of arguments;

* Use %m, even in the frontend case, simplifying the code.

numerology_1.out and float8-small-is-zero_1.out differ from their
base files only in showing plain zero rather than minus zero for
some results.  I believe that in the wake of commit 6eb3eb577,
we will print minus zero as such on all IEEE-float platforms
(and non-IEEE floats are going to cause many more regression diffs
than this, anyway).  Hence we should be able to remove these and
eliminate a bit of maintenance pain.  Let's see if the buildfarm
agrees.

Tom Lane aed9fa0bd8 Select appropriate PG_PRINTF_ATTRIBUTE for recent NetBSD.
NetBSD-current generates a large number of warnings about "%m" not
being appropriate to use with *printf functions.  While that's true
for their native printf, it's surely not true for snprintf.c, so I
think they have misunderstood gcc's definition of the "gnu_printf"
archetype.  Nonetheless, choosing "__syslog__" instead silences the
warnings; so teach configure about that.

Since this is only a cosmetic warning issue (and anyway it depends
on previous hacking to be self-consistent), no back-patch.

Thomas Munro 212fab9926 Relax transactional restrictions on ALTER TYPE ... ADD VALUE (redux).
Originally committed as 15bc038f (plus some follow-ups), this was
reverted in 28e07270 due to a problem discovered in parallel
workers.  This new version corrects that problem by sending the
list of uncommitted enum values to parallel workers.

Here follows the original commit message describing the change:

To prevent possibly breaking indexes on enum columns, we must keep
uncommitted enum values from getting stored in tables, unless we
can be sure that any such column is new in the current transaction.

Formerly, we enforced this by disallowing ALTER TYPE ... ADD VALUE
from being executed at all in a transaction block, unless the target
enum type had been created in the current transaction.  This patch
removes that restriction, and instead insists that an uncommitted enum
value can't be referenced unless it belongs to an enum type created
in the same transaction as the value.  Per discussion, this should be
a bit less onerous.  It does require each function that could possibly
return a new enum value to SQL operations to check this restriction,
but there aren't so many of those that this seems unmaintainable.

Tom Lane 7767aadd94 Fix omissions in snprintf.c's coverage of standard *printf functions.
A warning on a NetBSD box revealed to me that pg_waldump/compat.c
is using vprintf(), which snprintf.c did not provide coverage for.
This is not good if we want to have uniform *printf behavior, and
it's pretty silly to omit when it's a one-line function.

I also noted that snprintf.c has pg_vsprintf() but for some reason
it was not exposed to the outside world, creating another way in
which code might accidentally invoke the platform *printf family.

Let's just make sure that we replace all eight of the POSIX-standard
printf family.

Also, upgrade plperl.h and plpython.h to make sure that they do
their undefine/redefine rain dance for all eight, not some random
maybe-sufficient subset thereof.

Tom Lane 6eb3eb577d Improve snprintf.c's handling of NaN, Infinity, and minus zero.
Up to now, float4out/float8out handled NaN and Infinity cases explicitly,
and invoked psprintf only for ordinary float values.  This was done because
platform implementations of snprintf produce varying representations of
these special cases.  But now that we use snprintf.c always, it's better
to give it the responsibility to produce a uniform representation of
these cases, so that we have uniformity across the board not only in
float4out/float8out.  Hence, move that work into fmtfloat().

Also, teach fmtfloat() to recognize IEEE minus zero and handle it
correctly.  The previous coding worked only accidentally, and would
fail for e.g. "%+f" format (it'd print "+-0.00000").  Now that we're
using snprintf.c everywhere, it's not acceptable for it to do weird
things in corner cases.  (This incidentally avoids a portability
problem we've seen on some really ancient platforms, that native
sprintf does the wrong thing with minus zero.)

Also, introduce a new entry point in snprintf.c to allow float[48]out
to bypass the work of interpreting a well-known format spec, as well
as bypassing the overhead of the psprintf layer.  I modeled this API
loosely on strfromd().  In my testing, this brings float[48]out back
to approximately the same speed they had when using native snprintf,
fixing one of the main performance issues caused by using snprintf.c.

(There is some talk of more aggressive work to improve the speed of
floating-point output conversion, but these changes seem to provide
a better starting point for such work anyway.)

Getting rid of the previous ad-hoc hack for Infinity/NaN in fmtfloat()
allows removing <ctype.h> from snprintf.c's #includes.  I also removed
a few other #includes that I think are historical, though the buildfarm
may expose that as wrong.

Tom Lane f9eb7c14b0 Avoid O(N^2) cost in ExecFindRowMark().
If there are many ExecRowMark structs, we spent O(N^2) time in
ExecFindRowMark during executor startup.  Once upon a time this was
not of great concern, but the addition of native partitioning has
squeezed out enough other costs that this can become the dominant
overhead in some use-cases for tables with many partitions.

To fix, simply replace that List data structure with an array.

This adds a little bit of cost to execCurrentOf(), but not much,
and anyway that code path is neither of large importance nor very
efficient now.  If we ever decide it is a bottleneck, constructing a
hash table for lookup-by-tableoid would likely be the thing to do.

Per complaint from Amit Langote, though this is different from
his fix proposal.
