The current DirectFunctionCall functions use NULL as the flinfo in
initializing the FunctionCallInfoData for the call. That means the
called function has no fn_mcxt or fn_extra to work with, and attempting
to do so will result in an access violation. These functions instead use
the provided flinfo, which will usually be the caller's own flinfo. The
caller needs to ensure that it doesn't use the fn_extra in way that is
incompatible with the way the called function will use it. The called
function should not rely on anything else in the provided context, as it
will be relevant to the caller, not the callee.

There is still some inconsistency with the error messages surrounding
foreign servers. Some use the word "foreign" and some don't. My
inclination is to remove all such uses of "foreign" on the basis that
the CREATE/ALTER/DROP SERVER commands don't use the word. However, that
is left for another day. In this patch I have kept to the existing usage
in the affected commands, which omits "foreign".

User mappings are essentially anonymous, so messages referring to "user

Not every platform supports non-default collations, as pointed out by
the buildfarm, so skip collation-related regression tests in pg_dump
when they aren't supported.
The non-concurrent code path for REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW failed to
report its updates to the stats collector. This is bad since it means
auto-analyze doesn't know there's any work to be done. Adjust it to
report the refresh as a table truncate followed by insertion of an
appropriate number of rows.
Since a matview could contain more than INT_MAX rows, change the
signature of pgstat_count_heap_insert() to accept an int64 rowcount.
(The accumulator it's adding into is already int64, but existing
callers could not insert more than a small number of rows at once,
so the argument had been declared just "int n".)
This is surely a bug fix, but changing pgstat_count_heap_insert()'s API
seems too risky for the back branches. Given the lack of previous
complaints, I'm not sure it's a big enough problem to justify a kluge
solution that would avoid that. So, no back-patch, at least for now.

This is really testing getopt more than pg_dump, and what getopt returns
exactly appears to differ based on platform, so remove this test.
Per buildfarm.
These improvements bring the lines-of-code coverage of pg_dump.c up to
87.7% (at least using LCOV 1.12, 1.11 seems to differ slightly). Nearly
every function is covered, three of the four which aren't are only
called when talking to older PG instances.
There is more which can, and should, be done here to improve the
coverage but it's past time to see what the buildfarm thinks of this.
What has been added:
- Coverage for many more command-line options
- Use command_fails_like instead of command_exit_is
- Operator classes, operator families
- Text search configuration, templates, parsers, dictionaries
- FDWs, servers, foreign tables
- Materialized views
- Improved Publications / Subscriptions test (though this needs work,
see PG10 open items and tests marked with XXX in 002_pg_dump.pl)
- Unlogged tables
- Partitioned tables
- Additional ACL testing for various object types
There is room for improvement, specifically:
- Various type-based option (alignment, storage, etc)
- Composite type collation
- Extra Procedural language functions (inline, validator)
- Different function options (SRF, Transform, config, security definer,
cost, leakproof)
- OpClass options (default, storage, order by, recheck)
- OpFamily options (order by, recheck)
- Aggregate functions (combinefunc, serialfunc, deserialfunc, etc)
- Text Search parser 'headline'
- Text Search template 'init'
- FDW options (handler, validator, options)
- Server options (type, version, options)
- User mapping options
- Default ACLs for sequences, types
- Security labels
- View circular dependencies (last function that needs coverage)
- Toast table autovacuum options
- Replica identity options
- Independent indexes (plus marking them as clustered on)
- Deferrable / initially deferred constraints
- Independent domain constraints
There's bits of extension pg_dump'ing also not covered, but those will
need to go into test_pg_dump (such as having a filter for config
tables).
Last, but not least, this approximately halves the number of tests run
with 'ok()' by removing the ok()-based checking of if all runs are
covered by each test. Instead, 002_pg_dump.pl will just exit out in
such a case (with a message in the log file). In general, when adding
tests, cover all runs unless there is a very good reason not to (such as
adding a 'catch-all' case). With these changes, the resulting output
and number of "tests" run is actually reduced.
Previous commits, notably 53be0b1add and
6f3bd98ebf, made it possible to see from
pg_stat_activity when a backend was stuck waiting for another backend,
but it's also fairly common for a backend to be stuck waiting for an
I/O. Add wait events for those operations, too.

Windows apparently will not detect socket write-ready events unless a
preceding send attempt returned WSAEWOULDBLOCK. In many usage patterns
that's satisfied by the caller of WaitEvenSetWait(), but not always.
Apply the same solution that we already had in pgwin32_select(), namely to
perform a dummy WSASend() call with len=0. This will return WSAEWOULDBLOCK
if there's no buffer space (even though it could legitimately do nothing
and report success, which makes me a bit nervous about this solution;
but since it's been working fine in libpq, let's roll with it).
In passing, improve the comments about this in pgwin32_select(), and remove
duplicated code there.
Back-patch to 9.6 where WaitEventSetWait() was introduced. We might need
to back-patch something similar into predecessor code. But given the lack
of complaints so far, it's not clear that the case ever gets exercised
in the back branches, so I'm not going to expend effort on it right now.

If the process token contains SECURITY_SERVICE_RID, but it has been

The buildfarm has reminded me that not all systems consider char to be
signed and we need to be explicit. Adjust the various bits of mac8.c
for what we intend, mostly using casts to unsigned char as suggested by
Tom, and adjust the tests for valid input accordingly. Explicitly make
the hexlookup table signed as it's useful to use -1 there to indicate an
invalid value.
Andres' compiler points out, quite correctly, that there's no need for
some of the overly paranoid checks which were put into mac8.c. Remove
those, as they're useless, add some comments and make a few other minor
improvements- reduce the size of hexlookup by making it a char array
instead of an int array, and pass in the ptr location directly instead
of making hex2_to_uchar re-calculate the location based off the offset
every time.
It appears dcae5facca forgot to add it to
pg_isolation_regress_installcheck, while it was added to
pg_regress_installcheck. It seems to so far have escaped notice,
because buildfarm animals requiring it, didn't actually use
pg_isolation_regress_installcheck anywhere - that changed with
60f826c5e6, triggering failures on narwhal and frogmouth.
I've decided to not, for now at least, backpatch this, because the
relevant invocations look quite different in the back branches. Seems
quite possible that we'll want to backport 60f826c5e6 as a whole if
it proves stable.

The original coding in commit 1e8a85009 didn't use PQconnectPoll per
spec, and while the rewrite in e434ad39a is closer, it still doesn't
guarantee to wait until the socket is read-ready or write-ready (as
appropriate) before calling PQconnectPoll. It's not clear whether
that omission is causing the continuing failures on buildfarm member
bowerbird; but given the lack of other explanations meeting the
available facts, let's tighten that up and see what happens.
An independent issue in the same loop was that it had a race condition
whereby it could clear the process's latch without having serviced an
interrupt request, causing failure to respond to a cancel while waiting
for connection (the very problem 1e8a85009 was meant to fix).

This adds in support for EUI-64 MAC addresses by adding a new data type
called 'macaddr8' (using our usual convention of indicating the number
of bytes stored).
This was largely a copy-and-paste from the macaddr data type, with
appropriate adjustments for having 8 bytes instead of 6 and adding
support for converting a provided EUI-48 (6 byte format) to the EUI-64
format. Conversion from EUI-48 to EUI-64 inserts FFFE as the 4th and
5th bytes but does not perform the IPv6 modified EUI-64 action of
flipping the 7th bit, but we add a function to perform that specific
action for the user as it may be commonly done by users who wish to
calculate their IPv6 address based on their network prefix and 48-bit
MAC address.

Previously if a directory had both isolationtester and plain

Fallout from fcec6caafa2: mark a variable in
set_tablefunc_size_estimates as used for asserts only.
Also, the planner_rte_fetch() call is pointless with assertions

First problem noted by David Rowley, whose compiler is noisier than mine

The immediate motivation for this is to provide clean infrastructure
for the proposed \if...\endif patch for psql; but it seems like a good
thing to have even if that patch doesn't get in. Previously the callback
functions could only make use of application-global state, which is a
pretty severe handicap.
For the moment, the pointer is only passed through to the get_variable
callback function. I considered also passing it to the write_error

for that, and in the case of psql we'd have to invent a separate wrapper
function because we would certainly not want to change the signature of
psql_error().

Rather than waiting around for statement_timeout to expire, we can just
try to take the table's lock in nowait mode. This saves some fraction
under 4 seconds when running this test with prepared xacts available,
and it guards against timeout-expired-anyway failures on very slow
machines when prepared xacts are not available, as seen in a recent
failure on axolotl for instance.
This approach could fail if autovacuum were to take an exclusive lock
on the test table concurrently, but there's no reason for it to do so.

Replace the mapping tables used to convert between UTF-8 and other
character encodings with new radix tree-based maps. Looking up an entry in
a radix tree is much faster than a binary search in the old maps. As a
bonus, the radix tree representation is also more compact, making the
binaries slightly smaller.
The "combined" maps work the same as before, with binary search. They are
much smaller than the main tables, so it doesn't matter so much. However,
the "combined" maps are now stored in the same .map files as the main
tables. This seems more clear, since they're always used together, and
generated from the same source files.

This makes almost all core code follow the policy introduced in the
previous commit. Specific decisions:
- Text search support functions with char* and length arguments, such as
prsstart and lexize, may receive unaligned strings. I doubt
maintainers of non-core text search code will notice.
- Use plain VARDATA() on values detoasted or synthesized earlier in the
same function. Use VARDATA_ANY() on varlenas sourced outside the
function, even if they happen to always have four-byte headers. As an
exception, retain the universal practice of using VARDATA() on return
values of SendFunctionCall().
- Retain PG_GETARG_BYTEA_P() in pageinspect. (Page images are too large
for a one-byte header, so this misses no optimization.) Sites that do
not call get_page_from_raw() typically need the four-byte alignment.
- For now, do not change btree_gist. Its use of four-byte headers in
memory is partly entangled with storage of 4-byte headers inside
GBT_VARKEY, on disk.
- For now, do not change gtrgm_consistent() or gtrgm_distance(). They
incorporate the varlena header into a cache, and there are multiple
credible implementation strategies to consider.
When commit 3e23b68dac introduced
single-byte varlena headers, its fmgr.h changes presented
PG_GETARG_TEXT_PP() and PG_GETARG_TEXT_P() as equals. Its postgres.h
changes presented PG_DETOAST_DATUM_PACKED() and VARDATA_ANY() as the
exceptional case. Now, instead, firmly recommend PG_GETARG_TEXT_PP()
over PG_GETARG_TEXT_P(); likewise for other ...PP() macros. This shaves
cycles and invites consistency of style.
In functions that issue a deconstruct_array() call, consistently use
plain VARSIZE()/VARDATA() on the array elements. Prior practice was
divided between those and VARSIZE_ANY_EXHDR()/VARDATA_ANY().
This could only matter if the guessed_type variable had a value that wasn't
a member of the PasswordType enum; but just in case, let's be sure that
control falls out to reach the elog(ERROR) at the end of the function.
Per gripe from Coverity.
Coverity noted that the last line of gather_merge_getnext() was
unreachable, since each arm of the preceding "if" ends in a "return".
Drop it as an oversight. In passing, improve some nearby comments.
Upcoming patches are revamping expression evaluation significantly. It
therefore seems prudent to try to ensure that the coverage of the
existing evaluation code is high.
This commit adds coverage for the cases that can reasonably be
tested. There's still a bunch of unreachable error messages and such,
but otherwise this achieves nearly full regression test coverage (with
the exception of the unused GetAttributeByNum/GetAttributeByName).

There's no really good reason why the autovacuum launcher and logical

This reverts commit ccce90b398. This

Commits 89e0bac86 et al replaced newlines with spaces in object names
printed in SQL comments, but we neglected to consider that the same
names are also printed by "pg_restore -l", and a newline would render
the output unparseable by "pg_restore -L". Apply the same replacement
in "-l" output. Since "pg_restore -L" doesn't actually examine any
object names, only the dump ID field that starts each line, this is
enough to fix things for its purposes.
The previous fix was treated as a security issue, and we might have
done that here as well, except that the issue was reported publicly
to start with. Anyway it's hard to see how this could be exploited
for SQL injection; "pg_restore -L" doesn't do much with the file
except parse it for leading integers.

Historical notes: the reason for the lone exception, i.e. sequences being
'S', is that 's' was once used for "special" relations. Also, at one time
the partitioned-tables patch used both 'P' and 'p', but that got changed,
leaving only a surprising choice behind.
This also fixes a couple little bits of technical debt, such as
type_sanity.sql not knowing that 'm' is a legal value for relkind.

This is the beginning of a collection of SQL-callable functions to
verify the integrity of data files. For now it only contains code to
verify B-Tree indexes.
This adds two SQL-callable functions, validating B-Tree consistency to
a varying degree. Check the, extensive, docs for details.
The goal is to later extend the coverage of the module to further
access methods, possibly including the heap. Once checks for
additional access methods exist, we'll likely add some "dispatch"
functions that cover multiple access methods.

a few such violations, and all relatively new AFAICT.
Existing style is mostly to inject relkind values into constructed
query strings using %c. I did not bother to touch places that did it
like that, but really a better technique is to stringify the RELKIND
macro, at least in places where you'd want single quotes around the
code character. That avoids any runtime effort and keeps the RELKIND

For some reason this standard C string-processing hack was buried in an
NLS-related section of c.h. Put it beside CppAsString() so that people
are more likely to find it and not be tempted to reinvent local copies,
as I nearly did. And provide a more helpful comment, too.
Commit 0e141c0fbb introduced a mechanism
to reduce contention on ProcArrayLock by having a single process clear
XIDs in the procArray on behalf of multiple processes, reducing the
need to hand the lock around. Use a similar mechanism to reduce
contention on CLogControlLock. Testing shows that this very
significantly reduces the amount of time waiting for CLogControlLock
on high-concurrency pgbench tests run on a large multi-socket
machines; whether that translates into a TPS improvement depends on
how much of that contention is simply shifted to some other lock,
particularly WALWriteLock.

The IANA timezone crew continues to chip away at their project of removing
timezone abbreviations that have no real-world currency from their
database. The tzdata2017a update removes all such abbreviations for
South American zones, as well as much of the Pacific. This breaks some
test cases in timestamptz.sql that were expecting America/Santiago and
America/Caracas to have non-numeric abbreviations.
The test cases involving America/Santiago seem to have selected that
zone more or less at random, so just replace it with America/New_York,
which is of similar longitude. The cases involving America/Caracas are
harder since they were chosen to test a time-varying zone abbreviation
around a point where it changed meaning in the backwards direction.
Fortunately, Europe/Moscow has a similar case in 2014, and the MSK/MSD
abbreviations are well enough attested that IANA seems unlikely to
decide to remove them from the database in future.
With these changes, this regression test should pass when using any IANA
zone database from 2015 or later. One could wish that there were a few
years more daylight on how out-of-date your zone database can be ... but
really the --with-system-tzdata option is only meant for use on platforms
where the zone database is kept up-to-date pretty faithfully, so I do not
think this is a big objection.

Like Gather, we spawn multiple workers and run the same plan in each
one; however, Gather Merge is used when each worker produces the same
output ordering and we want to preserve that output ordering while
merging together the streams of tuples from various workers. (In a
way, Gather Merge is like a hybrid of Gather and MergeAppend.)
This works out to a win if it saves us from having to perform an
expensive Sort. In cases where only a small amount of data would need
to be sorted, it may actually be faster to use a regular Gather node
and then sort the results afterward, because Gather Merge sometimes
needs to wait synchronously for tuples whereas a pure Gather generally
doesn't. But if this avoids an expensive sort then it's a win.

We have a project policy that every .c file should start by including
postgres.h, postgres_fe.h, or c.h as appropriate; and then there is no
need for any .h file to explicitly include any of these. (The core
reason for this policy is to make it easy to verify that pg_config_os.h
is included before any system headers such as <stdio.h>; without that,
we have portability issues on some platforms due to variation in largefile
options across different modules in the backend. Also, if .h files were
responsible for choosing which of these key headers to include, .h files
that need to be includable in either frontend or backend compiles would be
in trouble.)
plpgsql was blithely ignoring this policy, so whack it upside the head
until it complies. I also chose to standardize on including plpgsql's
own .h files after all core-system headers that it pulls in. That
could've been done either way, but this way seems saner.

Although there are good reasons for our policy of including postgres.h
as the first #include in every .c file, never from .h files, there are
two places where it seems expedient to violate the policy because the
alternative is to modify externally-supplied .c files. (In the case
of the regexp library, the idea that it's externally-supplied is kind
of at odds with reality, but I haven't entirely given up hope that it
will become a standalone project some day.) Add some comments to make
it explicit that this is a policy violation and provide the reasoning.
In passing, move #include "miscadmin.h" out of regcomp.c and into
regcustom.h, which is where it should be if we're taking this reasoning
seriously at all.

This exposes the existing explain summary option to users to allow them
to choose if they wish to have the planning time and totalled run time
included in the EXPLAIN result. The existing default behavior is
retained if SUMMARY is not specified- running explain without analyze
will not print the summary lines (just the planning time, currently)
while running explain with analyze will include the summary lines (both
the planning time and the totalled execution time).
Users who wish to see the summary information for plain explain can now
use: EXPLAIN (SUMMARY ON) query; Users who do not want to have the
summary printed for an analyze run can use:
EXPLAIN (ANALYZE ON, SUMMARY OFF) query;
With this, we can now also have EXPLAIN ANALYZE queries included in our

EXPLAIN (ANALYZE ON, TIMING OFF, SUMMARY off) query;
I went ahead and added an example of this, which will hopefully not make

Large chunks (those too large for any palloc freelist) are managed as
separate blocks. Formerly, realloc'ing or pfree'ing such a chunk required
O(N) time in a context with N blocks, since we had to traipse down the
singly-linked block list to locate the block's predecessor before we could
fix the list links. This can result in O(N^2) runtime in situations where
large numbers of such chunks are manipulated within one context. Cases
like that were not foreseen in the original design of aset.c, and indeed
didn't arise until fairly recently. But such problems can now occur in
reorderbuffer.c and in hash joining, both of which make repeated large
requests without scaling up their request size as they do so, and which
will free their requests in not-necessarily-LIFO order.
To fix, change the block list from singly-linked to doubly-linked.
This adds another 4 or 8 bytes to ALLOC_BLOCKHDRSZ, but that doesn't
seem like unacceptable overhead, since aset.c's blocks are normally
8K or more, and never less than 1K in current practice.
In passing, get rid of some redundant AllocChunkGetPointer() calls in
AllocSetRealloc (the compiler might be smart enough to optimize these
away anyway, but no need to assume that) and improve AllocSetCheck's
checking of block header fields.

Any logical rep workers must have their subscription entries in
pg_subscription. To ensure this, we need to prevent the launcher
from starting new worker corresponding to the subscription that
DROP SUBSCRIPTION command is removing. To implement this,
previously LogicalRepLauncherLock was introduced and held until
the end of transaction running DROP SUBSCRIPTION. But using
LWLock for that purpose was not valid.
Instead, this commit changes DROP SUBSCRIPTION so that it takes
AccessExclusiveLock on pg_subscription, in order to ensure that
the launcher cannot see any subscriptions being removed. Also this

libxml2 older than 2.9.1 does not have xmlXPathSetContextNode (released
in 2013, so reasonable platforms have trouble). That function is fairly
trivial, so I have inlined it in the one added caller. This passes
tests on my machine; let's see what the buildfarm thinks about it.
Per joint complaint from Tom Lane and buildfarm.
XMLTABLE is defined by the SQL/XML standard as a feature that allows
turning XML-formatted data into relational form, so that it can be used
as a <table primary> in the FROM clause of a query.
This new construct provides significant simplicity and performance
benefit for XML data processing; what in a client-side custom
implementation was reported to take 20 minutes can be executed in 400ms
using XMLTABLE. (The same functionality was said to take 10 seconds
using nested PostgreSQL XPath function calls, and 5 seconds using
XMLReader under PL/Python).
The implemented syntax deviates slightly from what the standard
requires. First, the standard indicates that the PASSING clause is
optional and that multiple XML input documents may be given to it; we
make it mandatory and accept a single document only. Second, we don't
currently support a default namespace to be specified.
This implementation relies on a new executor node based on a hardcoded
method table. (Because the grammar is fixed, there is no extensibility
in the current approach; further constructs can be implemented on top of
this such as JSON_TABLE, but they require changes to core code.)

Define GUCs pltcl.start_proc and pltclu.start_proc. When set to a
nonempty value at the time a new Tcl interpreter is created, the
parameterless pltcl or pltclu function named by the GUC is called to
allow user-controlled initialization to occur within the interpreter.
This is modeled on plv8's start_proc parameter, and also has much in
common with plperl's on_init feature. It allows users to fully
replace the "modules" feature that was removed in commit 817f2a586.
Since an initializer function could subvert later Tcl code in nearly
arbitrary ways, mark both GUCs as SUSET for now. It would be nice

to pg_authid since access may be restricted for security reasons in
some configrations.
Robins Tharakan and Simon Riggs
This introduces a new generic SASL authentication method, similar to the
GSS and SSPI methods. The server first tells the client which SASL
authentication mechanism to use, and then the mechanism-specific SASL
messages are exchanged in AuthenticationSASLcontinue and PasswordMessage
messages. Only SCRAM-SHA-256 is supported at the moment, but this allows
adding more SASL mechanisms in the future, without changing the overall
protocol.
Support for channel binding, aka SCRAM-SHA-256-PLUS is left for later.
The SASLPrep algorithm, for pre-processing the password, is not yet
implemented. That could cause trouble, if you use a password with
non-ASCII characters, and a client library that does implement SASLprep.
That will hopefully be added later.
Authorization identities, as specified in the SCRAM-SHA-256 specification,
are ignored. SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION provides more or less the same
functionality, anyway.
If a user doesn't exist, perform a "mock" authentication, by constructing
an authentic-looking challenge on the fly. The challenge is derived from
a new system-wide random value, "mock authentication nonce", which is
created at initdb, and stored in the control file. We go through these
motions, in order to not give away the information on whether the user
exists, to unauthenticated users.

pg_dump has always handled the public schema in a special way when it
comes to the "--clean" option. To wit, we do not drop or recreate the
public schema in "normal" mode, but when we are run in "--clean" mode
then we do drop and recreate the public schema.
When running in "--clean" mode, the public schema is dropped and then
recreated and it is recreated with the normal schema-default privileges
of "nothing". This is unlike how the public schema starts life, which
is to have CREATE and USAGE GRANT'd to the PUBLIC role, and that is what
is recorded in pg_init_privs.
Due to this, in "--clean" mode, pg_dump would mistakenly only dump out
the set of privileges required to go from the initdb-time privileges on
the public schema to whatever the current-state privileges are. If the
privileges were not changed from initdb time, then no privileges would
be dumped out for the public schema, but with the schema being dropped
and recreated, the result was that the public schema would have no ACLs
on it instead of what it should have, which is the initdb-time
privileges.
Practically speaking, this meant that pg_dump with --clean mode dumping
a database where the ACLs on the public schema were not changed from the
default would, upon restore, result in a public schema with *no*
privileges GRANT'd, not matching the state of the existing database
(where the initdb-time privileges would have been CREATE and USAGE to
the PUBLIC role for the public schema).
To fix, adjust the query in getNamespaces() to ignore the pg_init_privs
entry for the public schema when running in "--clean" mode, meaning that
the privileges for the public schema would be dumped, correctly, as if
it was going from a newly-created schema to the current state (which is,
indeed, what will happen during the restore thanks to the DROP/CREATE).
Only the public schema is handled in this special way by pg_dump, no
other initdb-time objects are dropped/recreated in --clean mode.

objects. (As an example of a possible hazard, the type names in a CAST
will be formatted with the assumption of a particular search_path, so
failing to ensure that this same path is active for the COMMENT ON command
could lead to an error or to attaching the comment to the wrong cast.)
In the last six cases, this was a flat-out error --- possibly mine to
begin with, but it was a long time ago.
The security label for a procedural language was likewise not correctly
labeled as to schema, and both the comment and security label for a
procedural language were not correctly labeled as to owner.
In simple cases the restore would accidentally work correctly anyway, since
these comments and security labels would normally get emitted right after
the owning object, and so the search path and active user would be correct
anyhow. But it could fail in corner cases; for example a schema-selective
restore would omit comments it should include.
Giuseppe Broccolo noted the oversight, and proposed the correct fix, for
text search dictionary objects; I found the rest by cross-checking other
dumpComment() calls. These oversights are ancient, so back-patch all
the way.

Increase the size when either the distance between actual and optimal
slot grows too large, or when too many subsequent entries would have
to be moved.
This addresses reports that the simplehash performed, sometimes
considerably, worse than dynahash.
The reason turned out to be that insertions into the hashtable where,
due to the use of parallel query, in effect done from another
hashtable, in hash-value order. If the target hashtable, due to
mis-estimation, was sized a lot smaller than the source table(s) that
lead to very imbalanced tables; a lot of entries in many close-by
buckets from the source tables were inserted into a single, wider,
bucket on the target table. As the growth factor was solely computed
based on the fillfactor, the performance of the table decreased
further and further.
b81b5a96f4 was an attempt to address this problem for hash
aggregates (but not for bitmap scans), but it turns out that the
current method of mixing hash values often actually leaves neighboring
hash-values close to each other, just in different value range. It
might be worth revisiting that independently of the performance issues
addressed in this patch..
To address that problem resize tables in two additional cases: Firstly
when the optimal position for an entry would be far from the actual
position, secondly when many entries would have to be moved to make
space for the new entry (while satisfying the robin hood property).
Due to the additional resizing threshold it seems possible, and
testing confirms that so far, that a higher fillfactor doesn't hurt
performance and saves a bit of memory. It seems better to increase it
now, before a release containing any of this code, rather than wonder
in some later release.
The various boundaries aren't determined in a particularly scientific
manner, they might need some fine-tuning.
In all my tests the new code now, even with parallelism, performs at
least as good as the old code, in several scenarios significantly
better.

When performing a pg_upgrade, we copy the files behind pg_largeobject
and pg_largeobject_metadata, allowing us to avoid having to dump out and
reload the actual data for large objects and their ACLs.
Unfortunately, that isn't all of the information which can be associated
with large objects. Currently, we also support COMMENTs and SECURITY
LABELs with large objects and these were being silently dropped during a
pg_upgrade as pg_dump would skip everything having to do with a large
object and pg_upgrade only copied the tables mentioned to the new
cluster.
As the file copies happen after the catalog dump and reload, we can't
simply include the COMMENTs and SECURITY LABELs in pg_dump's binary-mode
output but we also have to include the actual large object definition as
well. With the definition, comments, and security labels in the pg_dump
output and the file copies performed by pg_upgrade, all of the data and
metadata associated with large objects is able to be successfully pulled
forward across a pg_upgrade.
In 9.6 and master, we can simply adjust the dump bitmask to indicate
which components we don't want. In 9.5 and earlier, we have to put
explciit checks in in dumpBlob() and dumpBlobs() to not include the ACL
or the data when in binary-upgrade mode.
Adjustments made to the privileges regression test to allow another test
(large_object.sql) to be added which explicitly leaves a large object
with a comment in place to provide coverage of that case with
pg_upgrade.
Back-patch to all supported branches.

With RLS active, "COPY tab TO ..." failed under -DRELCACHE_FORCE_RELEASE,
and would sometimes fail without that, because it used the relation name
directly from the relcache as part of the parsetree it's building. That
becomes a potentially-dangling pointer as soon as the relcache entry is
closed, a bit further down. Typical symptom if the relcache entry chanced
to get cleared would be "relation does not exist" error with a garbage
relation name, or possibly a core dump; but if you were really truly
unlucky, the COPY might copy from the wrong table.

The generic drop support already supported dropping multiple objects of

In simpler times, it might have worked to refer to all kinds of objects
by a list of name components and an optional argument list. But this
doesn't work for all objects, which has resulted in a collection of
hacks to place various other nodes types into these fields, which have
to be unpacked at the other end. This makes it also weird to represent
lists of such things in the grammar, because they would have to be lists
of singleton lists, to make the unpacking work consistently. The other
problem is that keeping separate name and args fields makes it awkward
to deal with lists of functions.
Change that by dropping the objargs field and have objname, renamed to
object, be a generic Node, which can then be flexibly assigned and
managed using the normal Node mechanisms. In many cases it will still
be a List of names, in some cases it will be a string Value, for types
it will be the existing Typename, for functions it will now use the
existing ObjectWithArgs node type. Some of the more obscure object
types still use somewhat arbitrary nested lists.

The new slab allocator needs different per-allocation information than
the classical aset.c. The definition in 58b25e981 wasn't sufficiently
careful on 32 platforms with 8 byte alignment, leading to buildfarm
failures. That's not entirely easy to fix by just adjusting the
definition.
As slab.c doesn't actually need the size part(s) of the common header,
all chunks are equally sized after all, it seems better to instead
reduce the header to the part needed by all allocators, namely which
context an allocation belongs to. That has the advantage of reducing
the overhead of slab allocations, and also allows for more flexibility
in future allocators.
To avoid spreading the logic about accessing a chunk's context around,
centralize it in GetMemoryChunkContext(), which allows to delete a
good number of lines.
A followup commit will revise the mmgr/README portion about
StandardChunkHeader, and more.

Previously, only IndexTuple format was supported for the output data of
an index-only scan. This is fine for btree, which is just returning a
verbatim index tuple anyway. It's not so fine for SP-GiST, which can
return reconstructed data that's much larger than a page.
To fix, extend the index AM API so that index-only scan data can be
returned in either HeapTuple or IndexTuple format. There's other ways
we could have done it, but this way avoids an API break for index AMs
that aren't concerned with the issue, and it costs little except a couple
more fields in IndexScanDescs.
I changed both GiST and SP-GiST to use the HeapTuple method. I'm not

The default general purpose aset.c style memory context is not a great
choice for allocations that are all going to be evenly sized,
especially when those objects aren't small, and have varying
lifetimes. There tends to be a lot of fragmentation, larger
allocations always directly go to libc rather than have their cost
amortized over several pallocs.
These problems lead to the introduction of ad-hoc slab allocators in
reorderbuffer.c. But it turns out that the simplistic implementation
leads to problems when a lot of objects are allocated and freed, as
aset.c is still the underlying implementation. Especially freeing can
easily run into O(n^2) behavior in aset.c.
While the O(n^2) behavior in aset.c can, and probably will, be
addressed, custom allocators for this behavior are more efficient
both in space and time.
This allocator is for evenly sized allocations, and supports both
cheap allocations and freeing, without fragmenting significantly. It
does so by allocating evenly sized blocks via malloc(), and carves
them into chunks that can be used for allocations. In order to
release blocks to the OS as early as possible, chunks are allocated
from the fullest block that still has free objects, increasing the
likelihood of a block being entirely unused.
A subsequent commit uses this in reorderbuffer.c, but a further
allocator is needed to resolve the performance problems triggering
this work.
There likely are further potentialy uses of this allocator besides
reorderbuffer.c.
There's potential further optimizations of the new slab.c, in
particular the array of freelists could be replaced by a more
intelligent structure - but for now this looks more than good enough.

I removed this in commit 9e3755ecb, reasoning that the win32.h
port-specific header file included by c.h would have provided it.
However, that's only true on native win32 builds, not Cygwin builds.
It may be that some of the other <windows.h> inclusions also need
to be put back on the same grounds; but this is the only one that
is clearly meant to be included #ifdef __CYGWIN__, so maybe this is
the extent of the problem. Awaiting further buildfarm results.
We had some AC_CHECK_HEADER tests that were really wastes of cycles,
because the code proceeded to #include those headers unconditionally
anyway, in all or a large majority of cases. The lack of complaints
shows that those headers are available on every platform of interest,
so we might as well let configure run a bit faster by not probing
those headers at all.
I suspect that some of the tests I left alone are equally useless, but
since all the existing #includes of the remaining headers are properly
guarded, I didn't touch them.
c.h #includes a number of core libc header files, such as <stdio.h>.
There's no point in re-including these after having read postgres.h,
postgres_fe.h, or c.h; so remove code that did so.
While at it, also fix some places that were ignoring our standard pattern
of "include postgres[_fe].h, then system header files, then other Postgres
header files". While there's not any great magic in doing it that way
rather than system headers last, it's silly to have just a few files
deviating from the general pattern. (But I didn't attempt to enforce this
globally, only in files I was touching anyway.)
I'd be the first to say that this is mostly compulsive neatnik-ism,
but over time it might save enough compile cycles to be useful.
nan_test.pgc supposed that it could unconditionally #define isnan()
and isinf() on WIN32. This was evidently copied at some point from
src/include/port/win32.h, but nowadays there's a test on _MSC_VER
there. Make nan_test.pgc look the same.

worse than a warning, and besides it's only a test case, so I don't

Per discussion, the time has come to do this. The handwriting has been
on the wall at least since 9.0 that this would happen someday, whenever
it got to be too much of a burden to support the float-timestamp option.
The triggering factor now is the discovery that there are multiple bugs
in the code that attempts to implement use of integer timestamps in the
replication protocol even when the server is built for float timestamps.
The internal float timestamps leak into the protocol fields in places.
While we could fix the identified bugs, there's a very high risk of
introducing more. Trying to build a wall that would positively prevent
mixing integer and float timestamps is more complexity than we want to
undertake to maintain a long-deprecated option. The fact that these
bugs weren't found through testing also indicates a lack of interest
in float timestamps.
This commit disables configure's --disable-integer-datetimes switch
(it'll still accept --enable-integer-datetimes, though), removes direct
references to USE_INTEGER_DATETIMES, and removes discussion of float
timestamps from the user documentation. A considerable amount of code is
rendered dead by this, but removing that will occur as separate mop-up.

see what query it was executing when it crashed.

Several places in fd.c had badly-thought-through handling of error returns
from lseek() and close(). The fact that those would seldom fail on valid
FDs is probably the reason we've not noticed this up to now; but if they
did fail, we'd get quite confused.
LruDelete and LruInsert actually just Assert'd that lseek never fails,
which is pretty awful on its face.
In LruDelete, we indeed can't throw an error, because that's likely to get
called during error abort and so throwing an error would probably just lead
to an infinite loop. But by the same token, throwing an error from the
close() right after that was ill-advised, not to mention that it would've
left the LRU state corrupted since we'd already unlinked the VFD from the
list. I also noticed that really, most of the time, we should know the
current seek position and it shouldn't be necessary to do an lseek here at
all. As patched, if we don't have a seek position and an lseek attempt
doesn't give us one, we'll close the file but then subsequent re-open
attempts will fail (except in the somewhat-unlikely case that a
FileSeek(SEEK_SET) call comes between and allows us to re-establish a known
target seek position). This isn't great but it won't result in any state
corruption.
Meanwhile, having an Assert instead of an honest test in LruInsert is
really dangerous: if that lseek failed, a subsequent read or write would
read or write from the start of the file, not where the caller expected,
leading to data corruption.
In both LruDelete and FileClose, if close() fails, just LOG that and mark
the VFD closed anyway. Possibly leaking an FD is preferable to getting
into an infinite loop or corrupting the VFD list. Besides, as far as I can
tell from the POSIX spec, it's unspecified whether or not the file has been
closed, so treating it as still open could be the wrong thing anyhow.
I also fixed a number of other places that were being sloppy about
behaving correctly when the seekPos is unknown.
Also, I changed FileSeek to return -1 with EINVAL for the cases where it
detects a bad offset, rather than throwing a hard elog(ERROR). It seemed
pretty inconsistent that some bad-offset cases would get a failure return
while others got elog(ERROR). It was missing an offset validity check for
the SEEK_CUR case on a closed file, too.
Back-patch to all supported branches, since all this code is fundamentally
identical in all of them.

Walsender uses the local buffers for each outgoing and incoming message.
Previously when creating replication slot, walsender forgot to initialize
one of them and which can cause the segmentation fault error. To fix this
issue, this commit changes walsender so that it always initialize them
before it executes the requested replication command.
Back-patch to 9.4 where replication slot was introduced.

Creating global objects named "foo" isn't an especially wise thing,
but especially not in a test script that has already used that name
for something else, and most especially not in a script that runs
in parallel with other scripts that use that name :-(
Per buildfarm.
There is no specific reason for this right now, but keeping support for
old Python versions around indefinitely increases the maintenance
burden. The oldest supported Python version is now Python 2.4, which is
still shipped in RHEL/CentOS 5 by default.
In configure, add a check for the required Python version and give a
friendly error message for an old version, instead of relying on an
obscure build error later on.
Be specific about which pattern is being complained of, and avoid saying
"it's not supported in to_date", which is just confusing if the error is
actually coming out of to_timestamp. We can phrase it as "is only
supported in to_char", instead. Also, use the term "formatting field" not
"format pattern", because other error messages in the same file prefer that
terminology. (This isn't terribly consistent with the documentation, so
maybe we should change all these error messages?)
It didn't take long at all for me to become irritated that the original
choice of name for this script resulted in "warning" showing up in several
places in build logs, because I tend to grep for that. Change the script
name to avoid that.
One case in the PL/Tcl tests is observed to fail on RHEL5 with a Turkish
time zone setting. It's not clear if this is an old Tcl bug or something
odd about the zone data, but in any case that test is meant to see if the
Tcl [clock] command works at all, not what its corner-case behaviors are.
Therefore we have no need to test exactly which week a Sunday midnight is
considered to fall into. Probe the following Tuesday instead.

Versions of flex before 2.5.36 might generate code that results in an
"unused variable" warning, when using %option reentrant. Historically
we've worked around that by specifying -Wno-error, but that's an
unsatisfying solution. The official "fix" for this was just to insert a
dummy reference to the variable, so write a small perl script that edits
the generated C code similarly.
The MSVC side of this is untested, but the buildfarm should soon reveal
if I broke that.

Commit 5262f7a4fc added similar support
for parallel index scans; this extends that work to index-only scans.
As with parallel index scans, this requires support from the index AM,
so currently parallel index-only scans will only be possible for btree
indexes.

A new function dsa_allocate_extended now takes flags which indicate
that huge allocations should be permitted, that out-of-memory
conditions should not throw an error, and/or that the returned memory
should be zero-filled, just like MemoryContextAllocateExtended.
Commit 9acb85597f, which added
dsa_allocate0, was broken because it failed to account for the
possibility that dsa_allocate() might return InvalidDsaPointer.
This fixes that problem along the way.

The recovery.conf file that's generated is specifically for replication,
and not needed (or wanted) for regular backup restore, so indicate that
in the message.
The way the old query was written prevented some join optimizations
because the join conditions were hidden inside a CASE expression. With
a large number of constraints, the query became unreasonably slow. The
new query performs much better.
