Tom Lane 1a4be103a5 Convert PageAddItem into a macro to save a few cycles.
Nowadays this is just a backwards-compatibility wrapper around
PageAddItemExtended, so let's avoid the extra level of function call.
In addition, because pretty much all callers are passing constants
for the two bool arguments, compilers will be able to constant-fold
the conversion to a flags bitmask.

Tom Lane b1328d78f8 Invent PageIndexTupleOverwrite, and teach BRIN and GiST to use it.
PageIndexTupleOverwrite performs approximately the same function as
PageIndexTupleDelete (or PageIndexDeleteNoCompact) followed by PageAddItem
targeting the same item pointer offset.  But in the case where the new
tuple is the same size as the old, it avoids shuffling other data around on
the page, because the new tuple is placed where the old one was rather than
being appended to the end of the page.  This has been shown to provide a
substantial speedup for some GiST use-cases.

Also, this change allows some API simplifications: we can get rid of
the rather klugy and error-prone PAI_ALLOW_FAR_OFFSET flag for
PageAddItemExtended, since that was used only to cover a corner case
for BRIN that's better expressed by using PageIndexTupleOverwrite.

Note that this patch causes a rather subtle WAL incompatibility: the
physical page content change represented by certain WAL records is now
different than it was before, because while the tuples have the same
itempointer line numbers, the tuples themselves are in different places.
I have not bumped the WAL version number because I think it doesn't matter
unless you are trying to do bitwise comparisons of original and replayed
pages, and in any case we're early in a devel cycle and there will probably
be more WAL changes before v10 gets out the door.

There is probably room to make use of PageIndexTupleOverwrite in SP-GiST
and GIN too, but that is left for a future patch.

Alvaro Herrera 5c609a742f Fix locking a tuple updated by an aborted (sub)transaction
When heap_lock_tuple decides to follow the update chain, it tried to
also lock any version of the tuple that was created by an update that
was subsequently rolled back.  This is pointless, since for all intents
and purposes that tuple exists no more; and moreover it causes
misbehavior, as reported independently by Marko Tiikkaja and Marti
Raudsepp: some SELECT FOR UPDATE/SHARE queries may fail to return
the tuples, and assertion-enabled builds crash.

Fix by having heap_lock_updated_tuple test the xmin and return success
immediately if the tuple was created by an aborted transaction.

The condition where tuples become invisible occurs when an updated tuple
chain is followed by heap_lock_updated_tuple, which reports the problem
as HeapTupleSelfUpdated to its caller heap_lock_tuple, which in turn
propagates that code outwards possibly leading the calling code
(ExecLockRows) to believe that the tuple exists no longer.

Backpatch to 9.3.  Only on 9.5 and newer this leads to a visible
failure, because of commit 27846f02c176; before that, heap_lock_tuple
skips the whole dance when the tuple is already locked by the same
transaction, because of the ancient HeapTupleSatisfiesUpdate behavior.
Still, the buggy condition may also exist in more convoluted scenarios
involving concurrent transactions, so it seems safer to fix the bug in
the old branches too.

Tom Lane 984d0a14e8 In PageIndexTupleDelete, don't assume stored item lengths are MAXALIGNed.
PageAddItem stores the item length as-is.  It MAXALIGN's the amount of
space actually allocated for each tuple, but not the stored length.
PageRepairFragmentation, PageIndexMultiDelete, and PageIndexDeleteNoCompact
are all on board with this and MAXALIGN item lengths after fetching them.
But PageIndexTupleDelete expects the stored length to be a MAXALIGN
multiple already.  This accidentally works for existing index AMs because
they all maxalign their tuple sizes internally; but we don't do that for
heap tuples, and it shouldn't be a requirement for index tuples either.

So, sync PageIndexTupleDelete with the rest of bufpage.c by having it
maxalign the item size after fetching.

Also add a check that pd_special is maxaligned, to ensure that the test
"(offset + size) > phdr->pd_special" is still doing the right thing.
(If offset and pd_special are aligned, it doesn't matter whether size is.)
Again, this is in sync with the rest of the routines here, except for
PageAddItem which doesn't test because it doesn't actually do anything
for which pd_special alignment matters.

This shouldn't have any immediate functional impact; it just adds the
flexibility to use PageIndexTupleDelete on index tuples with non-aligned
lengths.

Tom Lane 967a7b0fc9 Avoid reporting "cache lookup failed" for some user-reachable cases.
We have a not-terribly-thoroughly-enforced-yet project policy that internal
errors with SQLSTATE XX000 (ie, plain elog) should not be triggerable from
SQL.  record_in, domain_in, and PL validator functions all failed to meet
this standard, because they threw plain elog("cache lookup failed for XXX")
errors on bad OIDs, and those are all invokable from SQL.

For record_in, the best fix is to upgrade typcache.c (lookup_type_cache)
to throw a user-facing error for this case.  That seems consistent because
it was more than halfway there already, having user-facing errors for shell
types and non-composite types.  Having done that, tweak domain_in to rely
on the typcache to throw an appropriate error.  (This costs little because
InitDomainConstraintRef would fetch the typcache entry anyway.)

For the PL validator functions, we already have a single choke point at
CheckFunctionValidatorAccess, so just fix its error to be user-facing.

Andres Freund 45e191e3aa Improve scalability of md.c for large relations.
So far md.c used a linked list of segments. That proved to be a problem
when processing large relations, because every smgr.c/md.c level access
to a page incurred walking through a linked list of all preceding
segments. Thus making accessing pages O(#segments).

Replace the linked list of segments hanging off SMgrRelationData with an
array of opened segments. That allows O(1) access to individual
segments, if they've previously been opened.

Andres Freund 769fd9d8e0 Fix mdtruncate() to close fd.c handle of deleted segments.
mdtruncate() forgot to FileClose() a segment's mdfd_vfd, when deleting
it. That lead to a fd.c handle to a truncated file being kept open until
backend exit.

The issue appears to have been introduced way back in 1a5c450f30,
before that the handle was closed inside FileUnlink().

The impact of this bug is limited - only VACUUM and ON COMMIT TRUNCATE
for temporary tables, truncate files in place (i.e. TRUNCATE itself is
not affected), and the relation has to be bigger than 1GB. The
consequences of a leaked fd.c handle aren't severe either.

Tom Lane df5d9bb8d5 Allow pg_dump to dump non-extension members of an extension-owned schema.
Previously, if a schema was created by an extension, a normal pg_dump run
(not --binary-upgrade) would summarily skip every object in that schema.
In a case where an extension creates a schema and then users create other
objects within that schema, this does the wrong thing: we want pg_dump
to skip the schema but still create the non-extension-owned objects.

There's no easy way to fix this pre-9.6, because in earlier versions the
"dump" status for a schema is just a bool and there's no way to distinguish
"dump me" from "dump my members".  However, as of 9.6 we do have enough
state to represent that, so this is a simple correction of the logic in
selectDumpableNamespace.

In passing, make some cosmetic fixes in nearby code.

Tom Lane c54159d44c Make locale-dependent regex character classes work for large char codes.
Previously, we failed to recognize Unicode characters above U+7FF as
being members of locale-dependent character classes such as [[:alpha:]].
(Actually, the same problem occurs for large pg_wchar values in any
multibyte encoding, but UTF8 is the only case people have actually
complained about.)  It's impractical to get Spencer's original code to
handle character classes or ranges containing many thousands of characters,
because it insists on considering each member character individually at
regex compile time, whether or not the character will ever be of interest
at run time.  To fix, choose a cutoff point MAX_SIMPLE_CHR below which
we process characters individually as before, and deal with entire ranges
or classes as single entities above that.  We can actually make things
cheaper than before for chars below the cutoff, because the color map can
now be a simple linear array for those chars, rather than the multilevel
tree structure Spencer designed.  It's more expensive than before for
chars above the cutoff, because we must do a binary search in a list of
high chars and char ranges used in the regex pattern, plus call iswalpha()
and friends for each locale-dependent character class used in the pattern.
However, multibyte encodings are normally designed to give smaller codes
to popular characters, so that we can expect that the slow path will be
taken relatively infrequently.  In any case, the speed penalty appears
minor except when we have to apply iswalpha() etc. to high character codes
at runtime --- and the previous coding gave wrong answers for those cases,
so whether it was faster is moot.

Tom Lane 15bc038f9b Relax transactional restrictions on ALTER TYPE ... ADD VALUE.
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.

not get written out to disk. Even on a clean shutdown.

If Pg crashes or restarts, a subsequent pg_logical_slot_get_changes(...) call
will see the same changes already replayed since it uses the slot's
confirmed_flush_lsn as the start point for fetching changes. The caller can't
specify a start LSN when using the SQL interface.

users won't see repeated changes after a clean shutdown. Repeated changes still

first two bytes of the first TID therein as the next segno/action,
typically leading to "unexpected GIN leaf action" errors during replay.
Even if replay failed to crash, the resulting GIN index page would surely
be incorrect.  To fix, just declare the variable as uint16 instead.

Per bug #14295 from Spencer Thomason (much thanks to Spencer for turning
his problem into a self-contained test case).  This likely also explains
a previous report of the same symptom from Bernd Helmle.

Back-patch to 9.4 where the problem was introduced (by commit 14d02f0bb).

Tom Lane 39b691f251 Don't require dynamic timezone abbreviations to match underlying time zone.
Previously, we threw an error if a dynamic timezone abbreviation did not
match any abbreviation recorded in the referenced IANA time zone entry.
That seemed like a good consistency check at the time, but it turns out
that a number of the abbreviations in the IANA database are things that
Olson and crew made up out of whole cloth.  Their current policy is to
remove such names in favor of using simple numeric offsets.  Perhaps
unsurprisingly, a lot of these made-up abbreviations have varied in meaning
over time, which meant that our commit b2cbced9e and later changes made
them into dynamic abbreviations.  So with newer IANA database versions
that don't mention these abbreviations at all, we fail, as reported in bug
#14307 from Neil Anderson.  It's worse than just a few unused-in-the-wild
abbreviations not working, because the pg_timezone_abbrevs view stops
working altogether (since its underlying function tries to compute the
whole view result in one call).

We considered deleting these abbreviations from our abbreviations list, but
the problem with that is that we can't stay ahead of possible future IANA
changes.  Instead, let's leave the abbreviations list alone, and treat any
"orphaned" dynamic abbreviation as just meaning the referenced time zone.
It will behave a bit differently than it used to, in that you can't any
longer override the zone's standard vs. daylight rule by using the "wrong"
abbreviation of a pair, but that's better than failing entirely.  (Also,
this solution can be interpreted as adding a small new feature, which is
that any abbreviation a user wants can be defined as referencing a time
zone name.)

Back-patch to all supported branches, since this problem affects all
of them when using tzdata 2016f or newer.

Heikki Linnakangas ec136d19b2 Move code shared between libpq and backend from backend/libpq/ to common/.
When building libpq, ip.c and md5.c were symlinked or copied from
src/backend/libpq into src/interfaces/libpq, but now that we have a
directory specifically for routines that are shared between the server and
client binaries, src/common/, move them there.

Some routines in ip.c were only used in the backend. Keep those in
src/backend/libpq, but rename to ifaddr.c to avoid confusion with the file
that's now in common.

Fix the comment in src/common/Makefile to reflect how libpq actually links
those files.

There are two more files that libpq symlinks directly from src/backend:
encnames.c and wchar.c. I don't feel compelled to move those right now,
though.

Patch by Michael Paquier, with some changes by me.

Heikki Linnakangas 9cca11c915 Speed up SUM calculation in numeric aggregates.
This introduces a numeric sum accumulator, which performs better than
repeatedly calling add_var(). The performance comes from using wider digits
and delaying carry propagation, tallying positive and negative values
separately, and avoiding a round of palloc/pfree on every value. This
speeds up SUM(), as well as other standard aggregates like AVG() and
STDDEV() that also calculate a sum internally.
