Tom Lane 5da14938f7 Rename SLRU structures and associated LWLocks.
Originally, the names assigned to SLRUs had no purpose other than
being shmem lookup keys, so not a lot of thought went into them.
As of v13, though, we're exposing them in the pg_stat_slru view and
the pg_stat_reset_slru function, so it seems advisable to take a bit
more care.  Rename them to names based on the associated on-disk
storage directories (which fortunately we *did* think about, to some
extent; since those are also visible to DBAs, consistency seems like
a good thing).  Also rename the associated LWLocks, since those names
are likewise user-exposed now as wait event names.

For the most part I only touched symbols used in the respective modules'
SimpleLruInit() calls, not the names of other related objects.  This
renaming could have been taken further, and maybe someday we will do so.
But for now it seems undesirable to change the names of any globally
visible functions or structs, so some inconsistency is unavoidable.

(But I *did* terminate "oldserxid" with prejudice, as I found that
name both unreadable and not descriptive of the SLRU's contents.)

Table 27.12 needs re-alphabetization now, but I'll leave that till
after the other LWLock renamings I have in mind.

Tom Lane 5cbfce562f Initial pgindent and pgperltidy run for v13.
Includes some manual cleanup of places that pgindent messed up,
most of which weren't per project style anyway.

Notably, it seems some people didn't absorb the style rules of
commit c9d297751, because there were a bunch of new occurrences
of function calls with a newline just after the left paren, all
with faulty expectations about how the rest of the call would get
indented.

Amit Kapila a169155453 Fix the MSVC build for versions 2015 and later.
Visual Studio 2015 and later versions should still be able to do the same
as Visual Studio 2012, but the declaration of locale_name is missing in
_locale_t, causing the code compilation to fail, hence this falls back
instead on to enumerating all system locales by using EnumSystemLocalesEx
to find the required locale name.  If the input argument is in Unix-style
then we can get ISO Locale name directly by using GetLocaleInfoEx() with
LCType as LOCALE_SNAME.

In passing, change the documentation references of the now obsolete links.

Note that this problem occurs only with NLS enabled builds.

Tom Lane 81ca868630 Improve management of SLRU statistics collection.
Instead of re-identifying which statistics bucket to use for a given
SLRU on every counter increment, do it once during shmem initialization.
This saves a fair number of cycles, and there's no real cost because
we could not have a bucket assignment that varies over time or across
backends anyway.

Also, get rid of the ill-considered decision to let pgstat.c pry
directly into SLRU's shared state; it's cleaner just to have slru.c
pass the stats bucket number.

In consequence of these changes, there's no longer any need to store
an SLRU's LWLock tranche info in shared memory, so get rid of that,
making this a net reduction in shmem consumption.  (That partly
reverts fe702a7b3.)

This is basically code review for 28cac71bd, so I also cleaned up
some comments, removed a dangling extern declaration, fixed some
things that should be static and/or const, etc.

Tom Lane db89f0e3a4 Fix YA text phrase search bug.
checkcondition_str() failed to report multiple matches for a prefix
pattern correctly: it would dutifully merge the match positions, but
then after exiting that loop, if the last prefix-matching word had
had no suitable positions, it would report there were no matches.
The upshot would be failing to recognize a match that the query
should match.

It looks like you need all of these conditions to see the bug:
* a phrase search (else we don't ask for match position details)
* a prefix search item (else we don't get to this code)
* a weight restriction (else checkclass_str won't fail)

Noted while investigating a problem report from Pavel Borisov,
though this is distinct from the issue he was on about.

Back-patch to 9.6 where phrase search was added.

Tom Lane 0da06d9faf Get rid of trailing semicolons in C macro definitions.
Writing a trailing semicolon in a macro is almost never the right thing,
because you almost always want to write a semicolon after each macro
call instead.  (Even if there was some reason to prefer not to, pgindent
would probably make a hash of code formatted that way; so within PG the
rule should basically be "don't do it".)  Thus, if we have a semi inside
the macro, the compiler sees "something;;".  Much of the time the extra
empty statement is harmless, but it could lead to mysterious syntax
errors at call sites.  In perhaps an overabundance of neatnik-ism, let's
run around and get rid of the excess semicolons whereever possible.

The only thing worse than a mysterious syntax error is a mysterious
syntax error that only happens in the back branches; therefore,
backpatch these changes where relevant, which is most of them because
most of these mistakes are old.  (The lack of reported problems shows
that this is largely a hypothetical issue, but still, it could bite
us in some future patch.)

Tom Lane e81e5741a6 Fix full text search to handle NOT above a phrase search correctly.
Queries such as '!(foo<->bar)' failed to find matching rows when
implemented as a GiST or GIN index search.  That's because of
failing to handle phrase searches as tri-valued when considering
a query without any position information for the target tsvector.
We can only say that the phrase operator might match, not that it
does match; and therefore its NOT also might match.  The previous
coding incorrectly inverted the approximate phrase result to
decide that there was certainly no match.

To fix, we need to make TS_phrase_execute return a real ternary result,
and then bubble that up accurately in TS_execute.  As long as we have
to do that anyway, we can simplify the baroque things TS_phrase_execute
was doing internally to manage tri-valued searching with only a bool
as explicit result.

For now, I left the externally-visible result of TS_execute as a plain
bool.  There do not appear to be any outside callers that need to
distinguish a three-way result, given that they passed in a flag
saying what to do in the absence of position data.  This might need
to change someday, but we wouldn't want to back-patch such a change.

Although tsginidx.c has its own TS_execute_ternary implementation for
use at upper index levels, that sadly managed to get this case wrong
as well :-(.  Fixing it is a lot easier fortunately.

Per bug #16388 from Charles Offenbacher.  Back-patch to 9.6 where
phrase search was introduced.

Tom Lane 5836d32655 Fix minor violations of FunctionCallInvoke usage protocol.
Working on commit 1c455078b led me to check through FunctionCallInvoke
call sites to see if every one was being honest about (a) making sure
that fcinfo.isnull is initially false, and (b) checking its state after
the call.  Sure enough, I found some violations.

The main one is that finalize_partialaggregate re-used serialfn_fcinfo
without resetting isnull, even though it clearly intends to cater for
serialfns that return NULL.  There would only be an issue with a
non-strict serialfn, since it's unlikely that a serialfn would return
NULL for non-null input.  We have no non-strict serialfns in core, and
there may be none in the wild either, which would account for the lack
of complaints.  Still, it's clearly wrong, so back-patch that fix to
9.6 where finalize_partialaggregate was introduced.

Also, arrayfuncs.c and rowtypes.c contained various callers that were
not bothering to check for result nulls.  While what's being called is
a comparison or hash function that probably *shouldn't* return null,
that's a lousy excuse for not having any check at all.  There are
existing places that just Assert(!fcinfo->isnull) in comparable
situations, so I added that to the places that were calling btree
comparison or hash support functions.  In the places calling
boolean-returning equality functions, it's quite cheap to have them
treat isnull as FALSE, so make those places do that.  Also remove some
"locfcinfo->isnull = false" assignments that are unnecessary given the
assumption that no previous call returned null.  These changes seem like
mostly neatnik-ism or debugging support, so I didn't back-patch.

Tom Lane 1c455078b0 Allow matchingsel() to be used with operators that might return NULL.
Although selfuncs.c will never call a target operator with null inputs,
some functions might return null anyway.  The existing coding will fail
if that happens (since FunctionCall2Coll will punt), which seems
undesirable given that matchingsel() has such a broad range of potential
applicability --- in fact, we already have a problem because we apply it
to jsonb_path_exists_opr, which can return null.  Hence, rejigger the
underlying functions mcv_selectivity and histogram_selectivity to cope,
treating a null result as false.

While we are at it, we can move the InitFunctionCallInfoData overhead
out of the inner loops, which isn't a huge number of cycles but might
save something considering we are likely calling functions as cheap
as int4eq().  Plus, the number of loop cycles to be expected is much
more than it was when this code was written, since typical settings
of default_statistics_target are higher.

In view of that consideration, let's apply the same change to
var_eq_const, eqjoinsel_inner, and eqjoinsel_semi.  We do not expect
equality functions to ever return null for non-null inputs (and
certainly that code has been that way a long time without complaints),
but the cycle savings seem attractive, especially in the eqjoinsel loops
where there's potentially an O(N^2) savings.

Similar code exists in ineq_histogram_selectivity and
get_variable_range, but I forebore from changing those for now.
The performance argument for changing ineq_histogram_selectivity
is really weak anyway, since that will only iterate log2(N) times.

Tom Lane 26a944cf29 Adjust bytea get_bit/set_bit to use int8 not int4 for bit numbering.
Since the existing bit number argument can't exceed INT32_MAX, it's
not possible for these functions to manipulate bits beyond the first
256MB of a bytea value.  Lift that restriction by redeclaring the
bit number arguments as int8 (which requires a catversion bump,
hence is not back-patchable).

The similarly-named functions for bit/varbit don't really have a
problem because we restrict those types to at most VARBITMAXLEN bits;
hence leave them alone.

While here, extend the encode/decode functions in utils/adt/encode.c
to allow dealing with values wider than 1GB.  This is not a live bug
or restriction in current usage, because no input could be more than
1GB, and since none of the encoders can expand a string more than 4X,
the result size couldn't overflow uint32.  But it might be desirable
to support more in future, so make the input length values size_t
and the potential-output-length values uint64.

Also add some test cases to improve the miserable code coverage
of these functions.

Thomas Munro 4c04be9b05 Introduce xid8-based functions to replace txid_XXX.
The txid_XXX family of fmgr functions exposes 64 bit transaction IDs to

define a new set of functions including pg_current_xact_id() and
pg_current_snapshot() based on that.  Keep the old functions around too,
for now.

It's a bit sneaky to use the same C functions for both, but since the
binary representation is identical except for the signedness of the
type, and since older functions are the ones using the wrong signedness,
and since we'll presumably drop the older ones after a reasonable period
of time, it seems reasonable to switch to FullTransactionId internally
and share the code for both.

Tomas Vondra d2d8a229bc Implement Incremental Sort
Incremental Sort is an optimized variant of multikey sort for cases when
the input is already sorted by a prefix of the requested sort keys. For
example when the relation is already sorted by (key1, key2) and we need
to sort it by (key1, key2, key3) we can simply split the input rows into
groups having equal values in (key1, key2), and only sort/compare the
remaining column key3.

This has a number of benefits:

- Reduced memory consumption, because only a single group (determined by
  values in the sorted prefix) needs to be kept in memory. This may also
  eliminate the need to spill to disk.

- Lower startup cost, because Incremental Sort produce results after each
  prefix group, which is beneficial for plans where startup cost matters
  (like for example queries with LIMIT clause).

We consider both Sort and Incremental Sort, and decide based on costing.

The implemented algorithm operates in two different modes:

- Fetching a minimum number of tuples without check of equality on the
  prefix keys, and sorting on all columns when safe.

- Fetching all tuples for a single prefix group and then sorting by
  comparing only the remaining (non-prefix) keys.

We always start in the first mode, and employ a heuristic to switch into
the second mode if we believe it's beneficial - the goal is to minimize
the number of unnecessary comparions while keeping memory consumption
below work_mem.

This is a very old patch series. The idea was originally proposed by
Alexander Korotkov back in 2013, and then revived in 2017. In 2018 the
patch was taken over by James Coleman, who wrote and rewrote most of the
current code.

There were many reviewers/contributors since 2013 - I've done my best to

Noah Misch c6b92041d3 Skip WAL for new relfilenodes, under wal_level=minimal.
Until now, only selected bulk operations (e.g. COPY) did this.  If a
given relfilenode received both a WAL-skipping COPY and a WAL-logged
operation (e.g. INSERT), recovery could lose tuples from the COPY.  See
src/backend/access/transam/README section "Skipping WAL for New
RelFileNode" for the new coding rules.  Maintainers of table access
methods should examine that section.

To maintain data durability, just before commit, we choose between an
fsync of the relfilenode and copying its contents to WAL.  A new GUC,
wal_skip_threshold, guides that choice.  If this change slows a workload
that creates small, permanent relfilenodes under wal_level=minimal, try
adjusting wal_skip_threshold.  Users setting a timeout on COMMIT may
need to adjust that timeout, and log_min_duration_statement analysis
will reflect time consumption moving to COMMIT from commands like COPY.

Internally, this requires a reliable determination of whether
RollbackAndReleaseCurrentSubTransaction() would unlink a relation's
current relfilenode.  Introduce rd_firstRelfilenodeSubid.  Amend the
specification of rd_createSubid such that the field is zero when a new
rel has an old rd_node.  Make relcache.c retain entries for certain
dropped relations until end of transaction.

Bump XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC, since this introduces XLOG_GIST_ASSIGN_LSN.
Future servers accept older WAL, so this bump is discretionary.

Tom Lane 0b34e7d307 Improve user control over truncation of logged bind-parameter values.
This patch replaces the boolean GUC log_parameters_on_error introduced
by commit ba79cb5dc with an integer log_parameter_max_length_on_error,
adding the ability to specify how many bytes to trim each logged
parameter value to.  (The previous coding hard-wired that choice at
64 bytes.)

In addition, add a new parameter log_parameter_max_length that provides
similar control over truncation of query parameters that are logged in
response to statement-logging options, as opposed to errors.  Previous
releases always logged such parameters in full, possibly causing log
bloat.

For backwards compatibility with prior releases,
log_parameter_max_length defaults to -1 (log in full), while
log_parameter_max_length_on_error defaults to 0 (no logging).

Per discussion, log_parameter_max_length is SUSET since the DBA should
control routine logging behavior, but log_parameter_max_length_on_error
is USERSET because it also affects errcontext data sent back to the
client.

Tomas Vondra 28cac71bd3 Collect statistics about SLRU caches
There's a number of SLRU caches used to access important data like clog,
commit timestamps, multixact, asynchronous notifications, etc. Until now
we had no easy way to monitor these shared caches, compute hit ratios,
number of reads/writes etc.

This commit extends the statistics collector to track this information
for a predefined list of SLRUs, and also introduces a new system view
pg_stat_slru displaying the data.

The list of built-in SLRUs is fixed, but additional SLRUs may be defined
in extensions. Unfortunately, there's no suitable registry of SLRUs, so
this patch simply defines a fixed list of SLRUs with entries for the
built-in ones and one entry for all additional SLRUs. Extensions adding
their own SLRU are fairly rare, so this seems acceptable.

This patch only allows monitoring of SLRUs, not tuning. The SLRU sizes
are still fixed (hard-coded in the code) and it's not entirely clear
which of the SLRUs might need a GUC to tune size. In a way, allowing us
to determine that is one of the goals of this patch.

Bump catversion as the patch introduces new functions and system view.

Tom Lane a80818605e Improve selectivity estimation for assorted match-style operators.
Quite a few matching operators such as JSONB's @> used "contsel" and
"contjoinsel" as their selectivity estimators.  That was a bad idea,
because (a) contsel is only a stub, yielding a fixed default estimate,
and (b) that default is 0.001, meaning we estimate these operators as
five times more selective than equality, which is surely pretty silly.

There's a good model for improving this in ltree's ltreeparentsel():
for any "var OP constant" query, we can try applying the operator
to all of the column's MCV and histogram values, taking the latter
as being a random sample of the non-MCV values.  That code is
actually 100% generic, except for the question of exactly what
default selectivity ought to be plugged in when we don't have stats.

Hence, migrate the guts of ltreeparentsel() into the core code, provide
wrappers "matchingsel" and "matchingjoinsel" with a more-appropriate
default estimate, and use those for the non-geometric operators that
formerly used contsel (mostly JSONB containment operators and tsquery
matching).

Also apply this code to some match-like operators in hstore, ltree, and
pg_trgm, including the former users of ltreeparentsel as well as ones
that improperly used contsel.  Since commit 911e70207 just created new
versions of those extensions that we haven't released yet, we can sneak
this change into those new versions instead of having to create an
additional generation of update scripts.

Alexander Korotkov 911e702077 Implement operator class parameters
PostgreSQL provides set of template index access methods, where opclasses have
much freedom in the semantics of indexing.  These index AMs are GiST, GIN,
SP-GiST and BRIN.  There opclasses define representation of keys, operations on
them and supported search strategies.  So, it's natural that opclasses may be
faced some tradeoffs, which require user-side decision.  This commit implements
opclass parameters allowing users to set some values, which tell opclass how to
index the particular dataset.

This commit doesn't introduce new storage in system catalog.  Instead it uses
pg_attribute.attoptions, which is used for table column storage options but
unused for index attributes.

In order to evade changing signature of each opclass support function, we
implement unified way to pass options to opclass support functions.  Options
are set to fn_expr as the constant bytea expression.  It's possible due to the
fact that opclass support functions are executed outside of expressions, so
fn_expr is unused for them.

This commit comes with some examples of opclass options usage.  We parametrize
signature length in GiST.  That applies to multiple opclasses: tsvector_ops,
gist__intbig_ops, gist_ltree_ops, gist__ltree_ops, gist_trgm_ops and
gist_hstore_ops.  Also we parametrize maximum number of integer ranges for
gist__int_ops.  However, the main future usage of this feature is expected
to be json, where users would be able to specify which way to index particular
json parts.

Catversion is bumped.

In 9.4 I added support to use a historical snapshot in

conflict with the concurrent removal of SnapshotNow was incorrectly
resolved, leading to an unregistered snapshot being used.

It is not correct to use an unregistered (or non-active) snapshot for
anything non-trivial, because catalog invalidations can cause the
snapshot to be invalidated.

Luckily it seems unlikely to actively cause problems in practice, as
ScanPgRelation() requires that we already have a lock on the relation,
we only look for a single row, and we don't appear to rely on the
result's tid to be correct. It however is clearly wrong and potential
negative consequences would likely be hard to find. So it seems worth

Dean Rasheed 4083f445c0 Improve the performance and accuracy of numeric sqrt() and ln().
Instead of using Newton's method to compute numeric square roots, use
the Karatsuba square root algorithm, which performs better for numbers
of all sizes. In practice, this is 3-5 times faster for inputs with
just a few digits and up to around 10 times faster for larger inputs.

Also, the new algorithm guarantees that the final digit of the result
is correctly rounded, since it computes an integer square root with
truncation, containing at least 1 extra decimal digit before rounding.
The former algorithm would occasionally round the wrong way because
it rounded both the intermediate and final results.

In addition, arrange for sqrt_var() to explicitly support negative
rscale values (rounding before the decimal point). This allows the
argument reduction phase of ln_var() to be optimised for large inputs,
since it only needs to compute square roots with a few more digits
than the final ln() result, rather than computing all the digits
before the decimal point. For very large inputs, this can be many
thousands of times faster.

In passing, optimise div_var_fast() in a couple of places where it was
doing unnecessary work.

David Rowley b07642dbcd Trigger autovacuum based on number of INSERTs
Traditionally autovacuum has only ever invoked a worker based on the
estimated number of dead tuples in a table and for anti-wraparound
purposes. For the latter, with certain classes of tables such as
insert-only tables, anti-wraparound vacuums could be the first vacuum that
the table ever receives. This could often lead to autovacuum workers being
busy for extended periods of time due to having to potentially freeze
every page in the table. This could be particularly bad for very large
tables. New clusters, or recently pg_restored clusters could suffer even
more as many large tables may have the same relfrozenxid, which could
result in large numbers of tables requiring an anti-wraparound vacuum all
at once.

Here we aim to reduce the work required by anti-wraparound and aggressive
vacuums in general, by triggering autovacuum when the table has received
enough INSERTs. This is controlled by adding two new GUCs and reloptions;
autovacuum_vacuum_insert_threshold and
autovacuum_vacuum_insert_scale_factor. These work exactly the same as the
existing scale factor and threshold controls, only base themselves off the
number of inserts since the last vacuum, rather than the number of dead
tuples. New controls were added rather than reusing the existing
controls, to allow these new vacuums to be tuned independently and perhaps
even completely disabled altogether, which can be done by setting
autovacuum_vacuum_insert_threshold to -1.

We make no attempt to skip index cleanup operations on these vacuums as
they may trigger for an insert-mostly table which continually doesn't have
enough dead tuples to trigger an autovacuum for the purpose of removing
those dead tuples. If we were to skip cleaning the indexes in this case,
then it is possible for the index(es) to become bloated over time.

There are additional benefits to triggering autovacuums based on inserts,
as tables which never contain enough dead tuples to trigger an autovacuum
are now more likely to receive a vacuum, which can mark more of the table
as "allvisible" and encourage the query planner to make use of Index Only
Scans.

Currently, we still obey vacuum_freeze_min_age when triggering these new
autovacuums based on INSERTs. For large insert-only tables, it may be
beneficial to lower the table's autovacuum_freeze_min_age so that tuples
are eligible to be frozen sooner. Here we've opted not to zero that for
these types of vacuums, since the table may just be insert-mostly and we
may otherwise freeze tuples that are still destined to be updated or
removed in the near future.

There was some debate to what exactly the new scale factor and threshold
should default to. For now, these are set to 0.2 and 1000, respectively.
There may be some motivation to adjust these before the release.

Commit 3297308278 gave walreceiver the ability to create and use a
temporary replication slot, and made it controllable by a GUC (enabled
by default) that can be changed with SIGHUP.  That's useful but has two
problems: one, it's possible to cause the origin server to fill its disk
if the slot doesn't advance in time; and also there's a disconnect
between state passed down via the startup process and GUCs that
walreceiver reads directly.

We handle the first problem by setting the option to disabled by
default.  If the user enables it, its on their head to make sure that
disk doesn't fill up.

We handle the second problem by passing the flag via startup rather than
having walreceiver acquire it directly, and making it PGC_POSTMASTER
(which ensures a walreceiver always has the fresh value).  A future
commit can relax this (to PGC_SIGHUP again) by having the startup
process signal walreceiver to shutdown whenever the value changes.

Tom Lane fbc7a71608 Rearrange validity checks for plpgsql "simple" expressions.
Buildfarm experience shows what probably should've occurred to me before:
if a cache flush occurs partway through building a generic plan, then
the plansource may have is_valid = false even though the plan is valid.
We need to accept this case, use the generated plan, and then try to
replan the next time.  We can't try to replan immediately, because that
would produce an infinite loop in CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS builds; moreover
it's really overkill.  (We can assume that the plan is valid, it's just
possibly a bit stale.  Note that the pre-existing code behaved this way,
and the non-simple-expression code paths do too.)  Conversely, not using
the generated plan would drop us into the not-a-simple-expression code
path, which is bad for performance and would also cause regression-test
failures due to visibly different error-reporting behavior.

Hence, refactor the validity-check functions so that the initial check
and recheck cases can react differently to plansource->is_valid.
This makes their usage a bit simpler, too.

Tom Lane 8f59f6b9c0 Improve performance of "simple expressions" in PL/pgSQL.
For relatively simple expressions (say, "x + 1" or "x > 0"), plpgsql's
management overhead exceeds the cost of evaluating the expression.
This patch substantially improves that situation, providing roughly
2X speedup for such trivial expressions.

First, add infrastructure in the plancache to allow fast re-validation
of cached plans that contain no table access, and hence need no locks.
Teach plpgsql to use this infrastructure for expressions that it's
already deemed "simple" (which in particular will never contain table
references).

The fast path still requires checking that search_path hasn't changed,
so provide a fast path for OverrideSearchPathMatchesCurrent by
counting changes that have occurred to the active search path in the
current session.  This is simplistic but seems enough for now, seeing
that PushOverrideSearchPath is not used in any performance-critical
cases.

Second, manage the refcounts on simple expressions' cached plans using
a transaction-lifespan resource owner, so that we only need to take
and release an expression's refcount once per transaction not once per
expression evaluation.  The management of this resource owner exactly
parallels the existing management of plpgsql's simple-expression EState.

Add some regression tests covering this area, in particular verifying
that expression caching doesn't break semantics for search_path changes.

Patch by me, but it owes something to previous work by Amit Langote,
who recognized that getting rid of plancache-related overhead would
be a useful thing to do here.  Also thanks to Andres Freund for review.

Tom Lane 17a28b0364 Improve the internal implementation of ereport().
Change all the auxiliary error-reporting routines to return void,
now that we no longer need to pretend they are passing something
useful to errfinish().  While this probably doesn't save anything
significant at the machine-code level, it allows detection of some
additional types of mistakes.

Pass the error location details (__FILE__, __LINE__, PG_FUNCNAME_MACRO)
to errfinish not errstart.  This shaves a few cycles off the case where
errstart decides we're not going to emit anything.

Re-implement elog() as a trivial wrapper around ereport(), removing
the separate support infrastructure it used to have.  Aside from
getting rid of some now-surplus code, this means that elog() now
really does have exactly the same semantics as ereport(), in particular
that it can skip evaluation work if the message is not to be emitted.

Tom Lane e3a87b4991 Re-implement the ereport() macro using __VA_ARGS__.
Now that we require C99, we can depend on __VA_ARGS__ to work, and
revising ereport() to use it has several significant benefits:

* The extra parentheses around the auxiliary function calls are now
optional.  Aside from being a bit less ugly, this removes a common
gotcha for new contributors, because in some cases the compiler errors
you got from forgetting them were unintelligible.

* The auxiliary function calls are now evaluated as a comma expression
list rather than as extra arguments to errfinish().  This means that
compilers can be expected to warn about no-op expressions in the list,
allowing detection of several other common mistakes such as forgetting
to add errmsg(...) when converting an elog() call to ereport().

* Unlike the situation with extra function arguments, comma expressions
are guaranteed to be evaluated left-to-right, so this removes platform
dependency in the order of the auxiliary function calls.  While that
dependency hasn't caused us big problems in the past, this change does
allow dropping some rather shaky assumptions around errcontext() domain
handling.

There's no intention to make wholesale changes of existing ereport
calls, but as proof-of-concept this patch removes the extra parens
from a couple of calls in postgres.c.

While new code can be written either way, code intended to be
back-patched will need to use extra parens for awhile yet.  It seems
worth back-patching this change into v12, so as to reduce the window
where we have to be careful about that by one year.  Hence, this patch
is careful to preserve ABI compatibility; a followup HEAD-only patch
will make some additional simplifications.

Noah Misch cb2fd7eac2 Skip WAL for new relfilenodes, under wal_level=minimal.
Until now, only selected bulk operations (e.g. COPY) did this.  If a
given relfilenode received both a WAL-skipping COPY and a WAL-logged
operation (e.g. INSERT), recovery could lose tuples from the COPY.  See
src/backend/access/transam/README section "Skipping WAL for New
RelFileNode" for the new coding rules.  Maintainers of table access
methods should examine that section.

To maintain data durability, just before commit, we choose between an
fsync of the relfilenode and copying its contents to WAL.  A new GUC,
wal_skip_threshold, guides that choice.  If this change slows a workload
that creates small, permanent relfilenodes under wal_level=minimal, try
adjusting wal_skip_threshold.  Users setting a timeout on COMMIT may
need to adjust that timeout, and log_min_duration_statement analysis
will reflect time consumption moving to COMMIT from commands like COPY.

Internally, this requires a reliable determination of whether
RollbackAndReleaseCurrentSubTransaction() would unlink a relation's
current relfilenode.  Introduce rd_firstRelfilenodeSubid.  Amend the
specification of rd_createSubid such that the field is zero when a new
rel has an old rd_node.  Make relcache.c retain entries for certain
dropped relations until end of transaction.

Back-patch to 9.5 (all supported versions).  This introduces a new WAL
record type, XLOG_GIST_ASSIGN_LSN, without bumping XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC.  As
always, update standby systems before master systems.  This changes
sizeof(RelationData) and sizeof(IndexStmt), breaking binary
compatibility for affected extensions.  (The most recent commit to
affect the same class of extensions was
089e4d405d0f3b94c74a2c6a54357a84a681754b.)

Tom Lane 24e2885ee3 Introduce "anycompatible" family of polymorphic types.
This patch adds the pseudo-types anycompatible, anycompatiblearray,
anycompatiblenonarray, and anycompatiblerange.  They work much like
anyelement, anyarray, anynonarray, and anyrange respectively, except
that the actual input values need not match precisely in type.
Instead, if we can find a common supertype (using the same rules
as for UNION/CASE type resolution), then the parser automatically
promotes the input values to that type.  For example,
"myfunc(anycompatible, anycompatible)" can match a call with one
integer and one bigint argument, with the integer automatically
promoted to bigint.  With anyelement in the definition, the user
would have had to cast the integer explicitly.

The new types also provide a second, independent set of type variables
for function matching; thus with "myfunc(anyelement, anyelement,
anycompatible) returns anycompatible" the first two arguments are
constrained to be the same type, but the third can be some other
type, and the result has the type of the third argument.  The need
for more than one set of type variables was foreseen back when we
first invented the polymorphic types, but we never did anything
about it.

Jeff Davis 1f39bce021 Disk-based Hash Aggregation.
While performing hash aggregation, track memory usage when adding new
groups to a hash table. If the memory usage exceeds work_mem, enter
"spill mode".

In spill mode, new groups are not created in the hash table(s), but
existing groups continue to be advanced if input tuples match. Tuples
that would cause a new group to be created are instead spilled to a
logical tape to be processed later.

The tuples are spilled in a partitioned fashion. When all tuples from
the outer plan are processed (either by advancing the group or
spilling the tuple), finalize and emit the groups from the hash
table. Then, create new batches of work from the spilled partitions,
and select one of the saved batches and process it (possibly spilling
recursively).

a default value of 10 for now, because it's a round number pretty close
to the value used for that existing case.

Thomas Munro b09ff53667 Simplify the effective_io_concurrency setting.
The effective_io_concurrency GUC and equivalent tablespace option were
previously passed through a formula based on a theory about RAID
spindles and probabilities, to arrive at the number of pages to prefetch
in bitmap heap scans.  Tomas Vondra, Andres Freund and others argued
that it was anachronistic and hard to justify, and commit 558a9165e0
already started down the path of bypassing it in new code.  We agreed to
drop that logic and use the value directly.

For the default setting of 1, there is no change in effect.  Higher
settings can be converted from the old meaning to the new with:

  select round(sum(OLD / n::float)) from generate_series(1, OLD) s(n);

We might want to consider renaming the GUC before the next release given
the change in meaning, but it's not clear that many users had set it
very carefully anyway.  That decision is deferred for now.

Commit a5954de10 replaced a lot of manually-coded stub I/O routines
with code generated by macros.  That was a good idea but it didn't
go far enough, because there were still manually-coded stub input
routines for types that had live output routines.  Refactor the
macro so that we can generate just a stub input routine at need.

Also create similar macros to generate stub binary I/O routines,
since we have some of those now.  The only stub functions that remain
hand-coded are shell_in() and shell_out(), which need to be separate
because they use different error messages.

While here, rearrange the commentary to discuss each type not each
function.  This provides a better way to explain the *why* of which
types need which support, rather than just duplicatively annotating
the functions.

Tom Lane 4dbcb3f844 Restructure polymorphic-type resolution in funcapi.c.
resolve_polymorphic_tupdesc() and resolve_polymorphic_argtypes() failed to
cover the case of having to resolve anyarray given only an anyrange input.
The bug was masked if anyelement was also used (as either input or
output), which probably helps account for our not having noticed.

While looking at this I noticed that resolve_generic_type() would produce
the wrong answer if asked to make that same resolution.  ISTM that
resolve_generic_type() is confusingly defined and overly complex, so
rather than fix it, let's just make funcapi.c do the specific lookups
it requires for itself.

With this change, resolve_generic_type() is not used anywhere, so remove
it in HEAD.  In the back branches, leave it alone (complete with bug)
just in case any external code is using it.

While we're here, make some other refactoring adjustments in funcapi.c
with an eye to upcoming future expansion of the set of polymorphic types:

* Simplify quick-exit tests by adding an overall have_polymorphic_result
flag.  This is about a wash now but will be a win when there are more
flags.

* Reduce duplication of code between resolve_polymorphic_tupdesc() and
resolve_polymorphic_argtypes().

* Don't bother to validate correct matching of anynonarray or anyenum;
the parser should have done that, and even if it didn't, just doing
"return false" here would lead to a very confusing, off-point error
message.  (Really, "return false" in these two functions should only
occur if the call_expr isn't supplied or we can't obtain data type
info from it.)

* For the same reason, throw an elog rather than "return false" if
we fail to resolve a polymorphic type.

The bug's been there since we added anyrange, so back-patch to
all supported branches.

Tom Lane 085b6b6679 Avoid holding a directory FD open across pg_ls_dir_files() calls.
This coding technique is undesirable because (a) it leaks the FD for
the rest of the transaction if the SRF is not run to completion, and
(b) allocated FDs are a scarce resource, but multiple interleaved
uses of the relevant functions could eat many such FDs.

In v11 and later, a query such as "SELECT pg_ls_waldir() LIMIT 1"
yields a warning about the leaked FD, and the only reason there's
no warning in earlier branches is that fd.c didn't whine about such
leaks before commit 9cb7db3f0.  Even disregarding the warning, it
wouldn't be too hard to run a backend out of FDs with careless use
of these SQL functions.

Hence, rewrite the function so that it reads the directory within
a single call, returning the results as a tuplestore rather than
via value-per-call mode.

There are half a dozen other built-in SRFs with similar problems,
but let's fix this one to start with, just to see if the buildfarm
finds anything wrong with the code.

In passing, fix bogus error report for stat() failure: it was
whining about the directory when it should be fingering the
individual file.  Doubtless a copy-and-paste error.

Tom Lane a6525588b7 Allow Unicode escapes in any server encoding, not only UTF-8.
SQL includes provisions for numeric Unicode escapes in string
literals and identifiers.  Previously we only accepted those
if they represented ASCII characters or the server encoding
was UTF-8, making the conversion to internal form trivial.
This patch adjusts things so that we'll call the appropriate
encoding conversion function in less-trivial cases, allowing
the escape sequence to be accepted so long as it corresponds
to some character available in the server encoding.

This also applies to processing of Unicode escapes in JSONB.
However, the old restriction still applies to client-side
JSON processing, since that hasn't got access to the server's
encoding conversion infrastructure.

This patch includes some lexer infrastructure that simplifies
throwing errors with error cursors pointing into the middle of
a string (or other complex token).  For the moment I only used
it for errors relating to Unicode escapes, but we might later
expand the usage to some other cases.

Patch by me, reviewed by John Naylor.

Tom Lane fe30e7ebfa Allow ALTER TYPE to change some properties of a base type.
Specifically, this patch allows ALTER TYPE to:
* Change the default TOAST strategy for a toastable base type;
* Promote a non-toastable type to toastable;
* Add/remove binary I/O functions for a type;
* Add/remove typmod I/O functions for a type;
* Add/remove a custom ANALYZE statistics functions for a type.

The first of these can be done by the type's owner; all the others
require superuser privilege since misuse could cause problems.

The main motivation for this patch is to allow extensions to
upgrade the feature sets of their data types, so the set of
alterable properties is biased towards that use-case.  However
it's also true that changing some other properties would be
a lot harder, as they get baked into physical storage and/or
stored expressions that depend on the type.

Along the way, refactor GenerateTypeDependencies() to make it easier
to call, refactor DefineType's volatility checks so they can be shared
by AlterType, and teach typcache.c that it might have to reload data
from the type's pg_type row, a scenario it never handled before.
Also rearrange alter_type.sgml a bit for clarity (put the
composite-type operations together).

Tom Lane bb03010b9f Remove the "opaque" pseudo-type and associated compatibility hacks.
A long time ago, it was necessary to declare datatype I/O functions,
triggers, and language handler support functions in a very type-unsafe
way involving a single pseudo-type "opaque".  We got rid of those
conventions in 7.3, but there was still support in various places to
automatically convert such functions to the modern declaration style,
to be able to transparently re-load dumps from pre-7.3 servers.
It seems unnecessary to continue to support that anymore, so take out
the hacks; whereupon the "opaque" pseudo-type itself is no longer
needed and can be dropped.

This is part of a group of patches removing various server-side kluges
for transparently upgrading pre-8.0 dump files.  Since we've had few
complaints about dropping pg_dump's support for dumping from pre-8.0
servers (commit 64f3524e2), it seems okay to now remove these kluges.

Tom Lane 3ed2005ff5 Introduce macros for typalign and typstorage constants.
Our usual practice for "poor man's enum" catalog columns is to define
macros for the possible values and use those, not literal constants,
in C code.  But for some reason lost in the mists of time, this was
never done for typalign/attalign or typstorage/attstorage.  It's never
too late to make it better though, so let's do that.

The reason I got interested in this right now is the need to duplicate
some uses of the TYPSTORAGE constants in an upcoming ALTER TYPE patch.
But in general, this sort of change aids greppability and readability,
so it's a good idea even without any specific motivation.

I may have missed a few places that could be converted, and it's even
more likely that pending patches will re-introduce some hard-coded
references.  But that's not fatal --- there's no expectation that
we'd actually change any of these values.  We can clean up stragglers
over time.

Tom Lane d677550493 Allow to_date/to_timestamp to recognize non-English month/day names.
to_char() has long allowed the TM (translation mode) prefix to
specify output of translated month or day names; but that prefix
had no effect in input format strings.  Now it does.  to_date()
and to_timestamp() will now recognize the same month or day names
that to_char() would output for the same format code.  Matching is
case-insensitive (per the active collation's notion of what that
means), just as it has always been for English month/day names
without the TM prefix.

(As per the discussion thread, there are lots of cases that this
feature will not handle, such as alternate day names.  But being
able to accept what to_char() will output seems useful enough.)

In passing, fix some shaky English and violations of message
style guidelines in jsonpath errors for the .datetime() method,
which depends on this code.

Represent command completion tags as structs
The backend was using strings to represent command tags and doing string
comparisons in multiple places, but that's slow and unhelpful.  Create a
new command list with a supporting structure to use instead; this is
stored in a tag-list-file that can be tailored to specific purposes with
a caller-definable C macro, similar to what we do for WAL resource
managers.  The first first such uses are a new CommandTag enum and a
CommandTagBehavior struct.

Replace numerous occurrences of char *completionTag with a
QueryCompletion struct so that the code no longer stores information
about completed queries in a cstring.  Only at the last moment, in
EndCommand(), does this get converted to a string.

Dean Rasheed 43a899f41f Fix corner-case loss of precision in numeric ln().
When deciding on the local rscale to use for the Taylor series
expansion, ln_var() neglected to account for the fact that the result
is subsequently multiplied by a factor of 2^(nsqrt+1), where nsqrt is
the number of square root operations performed in the range reduction
step, which can be as high as 22 for very large inputs. This could
result in a loss of precision, particularly when combined with large
rscale values, for which a large number of Taylor series terms is
required (up to around 400).

Fix by computing a few extra digits in the Taylor series, based on the
weight of the multiplicative factor log10(2^(nsqrt+1)). It remains to
be proven whether or not the other 8 extra digits used for the Taylor
series is appropriate, but this at least deals with the obvious
oversight of failing to account for the effects of the final
multiplication.

Invent the concept of a B-Tree equalimage ("equality implies image
equality") support function, registered as support function 4.  This
indicates whether it is safe (or not safe) to apply optimizations that
assume that any two datums considered equal by an operator class's order
method must be interchangeable without any loss of semantic information.
This is static information about an operator class and a collation.

Register an equalimage routine for almost all of the existing B-Tree
opclasses.  We only need two trivial routines for all of the opclasses
that are included with the core distribution.  There is one routine for
opclasses that index non-collatable types (which returns 'true'
unconditionally), plus another routine for collatable types (which
returns 'true' when the collation is a deterministic collation).

Tom Lane 3d475515a1 Account explicitly for long-lived FDs that are allocated outside fd.c.
The comments in fd.c have long claimed that all file allocations should
go through that module, but in reality that's not always practical.
fd.c doesn't supply APIs for invoking some FD-producing syscalls like
pipe() or epoll_create(); and the APIs it does supply for non-virtual
FDs are mostly insistent on releasing those FDs at transaction end;
and in some cases the actual open() call is in code that can't be made
to use fd.c, such as libpq.

This has led to a situation where, in a modern server, there are likely
to be seven or so long-lived FDs per backend process that are not known
to fd.c.  Since NUM_RESERVED_FDS is only 10, that meant we had *very*
few spare FDs if max_files_per_process is >= the system ulimit and
fd.c had opened all the files it thought it safely could.  The
contrib/postgres_fdw regression test, in particular, could easily be
made to fall over by running it under a restrictive ulimit.

To improve matters, invent functions Acquire/Reserve/ReleaseExternalFD
that allow outside callers to tell fd.c that they have or want to allocate
a FD that's not directly managed by fd.c.  Add calls to track all the
fixed FDs in a standard backend session, so that we are honestly
guaranteeing that NUM_RESERVED_FDS FDs remain unused below the EMFILE
limit in a backend's idle state.  The coding rules for these functions say
that there's no need to call them in code that just allocates one FD over
a fairly short interval; we can dip into NUM_RESERVED_FDS for such cases.
That means that there aren't all that many places where we need to worry.
But postgres_fdw and dblink must use this facility to account for
long-lived FDs consumed by libpq connections.  There may be other places
where it's worth doing such accounting, too, but this seems like enough
to solve the immediate problem.

Internally to fd.c, "external" FDs are limited to max_safe_fds/3 FDs.
(Callers can choose to ignore this limit, but of course it's unwise
to do so except for fixed file allocations.)  I also reduced the limit
on "allocated" files to max_safe_fds/3 FDs (it had been max_safe_fds/2).
Conceivably a smarter rule could be used here --- but in practice,
on reasonable systems, max_safe_fds should be large enough that this
isn't much of an issue, so KISS for now.  To avoid possible regression
in the number of external or allocated files that can be opened,
increase FD_MINFREE and the lower limit on max_files_per_process a
little bit; we now insist that the effective "ulimit -n" be at least 64.

This seems like pretty clearly a bug fix, but in view of the lack of
field complaints, I'll refrain from risking a back-patch.

Robert Haas a91e2fa941 Adapt hashfn.c and hashutils.h for frontend use.
hash_any() and its various variants are defined to return Datum,
which is a backend-only concept, but the underlying functions
actually want to return uint32 and uint64, and only return Datum
because it's convenient for callers who are using them to
implement a hash function for some SQL datatype.

However, changing these functions to return uint32 and uint64
seems like it might lead to programming errors or back-patching
difficulties, both because they are widely used and because
failure to use UInt{32,64}GetDatum() might not provoke a
compilation error. Instead, rename the existing functions as
well as changing the return type, and add static inline wrappers
for those callers that need the previous behavior.

Although this commit adapts hashutils.h and hashfn.c so that they
can be compiled as frontend code, it does not actually do
anything that would cause them to be so compiled. That is left
for another commit.

and only if the API was used properly. After 7fdd919a refactored the
code to support lazily-allocating the buffer, Coverity started

The optimization for empty tapes doesn't seem important, so just
allocate the buffer whether the tape has any data or not.

Tom Lane 607f8ce74d Avoid a performance regression in float overflow/underflow detection.
Commit 6bf0bc842 replaced float.c's CHECKFLOATVAL() macro with static
inline subroutines, but that wasn't too well thought out.  In the original
coding, the unlikely condition (isinf(result) or result == 0) was checked
first, and the inf_is_valid or zero_is_valid condition only afterwards.
The inline-subroutine coding caused that to be swapped around, which is
pretty horrid for performance because (a) in common cases the is_valid
condition is twice as expensive to evaluate (e.g., requiring two isinf()
calls not one) and (b) in common cases the is_valid condition is false,
requiring us to perform the unlikely-condition check anyway.  Net result
is that one isinf() call becomes two or three, resulting in visible
performance loss as reported by Keisuke Kuroda.

The original fix proposal was to revert the replacement of the macro,
but on second thought, that macro was just a bad idea from the beginning:
if anything it's a net negative for readability of the code.  So instead,
let's just open-code all the overflow/underflow tests, being careful to
test the unlikely condition first (and mark it unlikely() to help the
compiler get the point).

Also, rather than having N copies of the actual ereport() calls, collapse
those into out-of-line error subroutines to save some code space.  This
does mean that the error file/line numbers won't be very helpful for
figuring out where the issue really is --- but we'd already burned that
bridge by putting the ereports into static inlines.

In HEAD, check_float[48]_val() are gone altogether.  In v12, leave them
present in float.h but unused in the core code, just in case some
extension is depending on them.

       lock is not necessary. This could lead to an unexpected

When running a lot of large parallel queries concurrently, or a plan with
a lot of separate Gather nodes, it is possible to run out of DSM slots.
There are better solutions to these problems requiring architectural
redesign work, but for now, let's adjust the constants so that it's more
difficult to hit the limit.

1.  Previously, a DSA area would create up to four segments at each size
before doubling the size.  After this commit, it will create only two at
each size, so it ramps up faster and therefore needs fewer slots.

2.  Previously, the total limit on DSM slots allowed for 2 per connection.
Switch to 5 per connection.

This seems like a logical division, because the JSON lexer and parser

Tom Lane 9a3a75cb81 Fix an oversight in commit 4c70098ff.
I had supposed that the from_char_seq_search() call sites were
all passing the constant arrays you'd expect them to pass ...
but on looking closer, the one for DY format was passing the
days[] array not days_short[].  This accidentally worked because
the day abbreviations in English are all the same as the first
three letters of the full day names.  However, once we took out
the "maximum comparison length" logic, it stopped working.

As penance for that oversight, add regression test cases covering
this, as well as every other switch case in DCH_from_char() that
was not reached according to the code coverage report.

Also, fold the DCH_RM and DCH_rm cases into one --- now that
seq_search is case independent, there's no need to pass different
comparison arrays for those cases.

Back-patch, as the previous commit was.
2020-01-23 16:15:32 -05:00
Tom Lane 4c70098ffa Clean up formatting.c's logic for matching constant strings.
seq_search(), which is used to match input substrings to constants
such as month and day names, had a lot of bizarre and unnecessary
behaviors.  It was mostly possible to avert our eyes from that before,
but we don't want to duplicate those behaviors in the upcoming patch
to allow recognition of non-English month and day names.  So it's time
to clean this up.  In particular:

* seq_search scribbled on the input string, which is a pretty dangerous
thing to do, especially in the badly underdocumented way it was done here.
Fortunately the input string is a temporary copy, but that was being made
three subroutine levels away, making it something easy to break
accidentally.  The behavior is externally visible nonetheless, in the form
of odd case-folding in error reports about unrecognized month/day names.
The scribbling is evidently being done to save a few calls to pg_tolower,
but that's such a cheap function (at least for ASCII data) that it's
pretty pointless to worry about.  In HEAD I switched it to be
pg_ascii_tolower to ensure it is cheap in all cases; but there are corner
cases in Turkish where this'd change behavior, so leave it as pg_tolower
in the back branches.

* seq_search insisted on knowing the case form (all-upper, all-lower,
or initcap) of the constant strings, so that it didn't have to case-fold
them to perform case-insensitive comparisons.  This likewise seems like
excessive micro-optimization, given that pg_tolower is certainly very
cheap for ASCII data.  It seems unsafe to assume that we know the case
form that will come out of pg_locale.c for localized month/day names, so
it's better just to define the comparison rule as "downcase all strings
before comparing".  (The choice between downcasing and upcasing is
arbitrary so far as English is concerned, but it might not be in other
locales, so follow citext's lead here.)

* seq_search also had a parameter that'd cause it to report a match
after a maximum number of characters, even if the constant string were
longer than that.  This was not actually used because no caller passed
a value small enough to cut off a comparison.  Replicating that behavior
for localized month/day names seems expensive as well as useless, so
let's get rid of that too.

* from_char_seq_search used the maximum-length parameter to truncate
the input string in error reports about not finding a matching name.
This leads to rather confusing reports in many cases.  Worse, it is
outright dangerous if the input string isn't all-ASCII, because we
risk truncating the string in the middle of a multibyte character.
That'd lead either to delivering an illegible error message to the
client, or to encoding-conversion failures that obscure the actual
data problem.  Get rid of that in favor of truncating at whitespace
if any (a suggestion due to Alvaro Herrera).

In addition to fixing these things, I const-ified the input string
pointers of DCH_from_char and its subroutines, to make sure there
aren't any other scribbling-on-input problems.

The risk of generating a badly-encoded error message seems like
enough of a bug to justify back-patching, so patch all supported
branches.

Alexander Korotkov 4b754d6c16 Avoid full scan of GIN indexes when possible
The strategy of GIN index scan is driven by opclass-specific extract_query
method.  This method that needed search mode is GIN_SEARCH_MODE_ALL.  This
mode means that matching tuple may contain none of extracted entries.  Simple
example is '!term' tsquery, which doesn't need any term to exist in matching
tsvector.

In order to handle such scan key GIN calculates virtual entry, which contains
all TIDs of all entries of attribute.  In fact this is full scan of index
attribute.  And typically this is very slow, but allows to handle some queries
correctly in GIN.  However, current algorithm calculate such virtual entry for
each GIN_SEARCH_MODE_ALL scan key even if they are multiple for the same
attribute.  This is clearly not optimal.

This commit improves the situation by introduction of "exclude only" scan keys.
Such scan keys are not capable to return set of matching TIDs.  Instead, they
are capable only to filter TIDs produced by normal scan keys.  Therefore,
each attribute should contain at least one normal scan key, while rest of them
may be "exclude only" if search mode is GIN_SEARCH_MODE_ALL.

The same optimization might be applied to the whole scan, not per-attribute.
But that leads to NULL values elimination problem.  There is trade-off between
multiple possible ways to do this.  We probably want to do this later using
some cost-based decision algorithm.

Tom Lane 9ce77d75c5 Reconsider the representation of join alias Vars.
The core idea of this patch is to make the parser generate join alias
Vars (that is, ones with varno pointing to a JOIN RTE) only when the
alias Var is actually different from any raw join input, that is a type
coercion and/or COALESCE is necessary to generate the join output value.
Otherwise just generate varno/varattno pointing to the relevant join
input column.

In effect, this means that the planner's flatten_join_alias_vars()
transformation is already done in the parser, for all cases except
(a) columns that are merged by JOIN USING and are transformed in the
process, and (b) whole-row join Vars.  In principle that would allow
us to skip doing flatten_join_alias_vars() in many more queries than
we do now, but we don't have quite enough infrastructure to know that
we can do so --- in particular there's no cheap way to know whether
there are any whole-row join Vars.  I'm not sure if it's worth the
trouble to add a Query-level flag for that, and in any case it seems
like fit material for a separate patch.  But even without skipping the
work entirely, this should make flatten_join_alias_vars() faster,
particularly where there are nested joins that it previously had to
flatten recursively.

An essential part of this change is to replace Var nodes'
varnoold/varoattno fields with varnosyn/varattnosyn, which have
considerably more tightly-defined meanings than the old fields: when
they differ from varno/varattno, they identify the Var's position in
an aliased JOIN RTE, and the join alias is what ruleutils.c should
print for the Var.  This is necessary because the varno change
destroyed ruleutils.c's ability to find the JOIN RTE from the Var's
varno.

Another way in which this change broke ruleutils.c is that it's no
longer feasible to determine, from a JOIN RTE's joinaliasvars list,
which join columns correspond to which columns of the join's immediate
input relations.  (If those are sub-joins, the joinaliasvars entries
may point to columns of their base relations, not the sub-joins.)
But that was a horrid mess requiring a lot of fragile assumptions
already, so let's just bite the bullet and add some more JOIN RTE
fields to make it more straightforward to figure that out.  I added
two integer-List fields containing the relevant column numbers from
the left and right input rels, plus a count of how many merged columns
there are.

This patch depends on the ParseNamespaceColumn infrastructure that
I added in commit 5815696bc.  The biggest bit of code change is
restructuring transformFromClauseItem's handling of JOINs so that
the ParseNamespaceColumn data is propagated upward correctly.

Other than that and the ruleutils fixes, everything pretty much
just works, though some processing is now inessential.  I grabbed
two pieces of low-hanging fruit in that line:

1. In find_expr_references, we don't need to recurse into join alias
Vars anymore.  There aren't any except for references to merged USING
columns, which are more properly handled when we scan the join's RTE.
This change actually fixes an edge-case issue: we will now record a
dependency on any type-coercion function present in a USING column's
joinaliasvar, even if that join column has no references in the query
text.  The odds of the missing dependency causing a problem seem quite
small: you'd have to posit somebody dropping an implicit cast between
two data types, without removing the types themselves, and then having
a stored rule containing a whole-row Var for a join whose USING merge
depends on that cast.  So I don't feel a great need to change this in
the back branches.  But in theory this way is more correct.

2. markRTEForSelectPriv and markTargetListOrigin don't need to recurse
into join alias Vars either, because the cases they care about don't
apply to alias Vars for USING columns that are semantically distinct
from the underlying columns.  This removes the only case in which
markVarForSelectPriv could be called with NULL for the RTE, so adjust
the comments to describe that hack as being strictly internal to
markRTEForSelectPriv.

catversion bump required due to changes in stored rules.

Peter Eisentraut f85a485f89 Add support for automatically updating Unicode derived files
We currently have several sets of files generated from data provided

This patch centralizes and automates the process and makes it part of

Makefile.global.in.  There is a new make target "update-unicode" that
downloads all the relevant files and runs the generation script.

There is also a new script for generating the table of combining
characters for ucs_wcwidth().  That table is now in a separate include

Also drop the initial right shift by ALLOC_MINBITS in favor of

In the wake of commit 5b9312378, there's no particular reason
for this restriction (previously, it was problematic because of
the implied rowtype reference).  A simple constraint on a whole-row
Var probably isn't that useful, but conceivably somebody would want
to pass one to a function that extracts a partitioning key.  Besides
which, we're expending much more code to enforce the restriction than
we save by having it, since the latter quantity is now zero.
So drop the restriction.

Tom Lane 5b9312378e Load relcache entries' partitioning data on-demand, not immediately.
Formerly the rd_partkey and rd_partdesc data structures were always
populated immediately when a relcache entry was built or rebuilt.
This patch changes things so that they are populated only when they
are first requested.  (Hence, callers *must* now always use
RelationGetPartitionKey or RelationGetPartitionDesc; just fetching
the pointer directly is no longer acceptable.)

This seems to have some performance benefits, but the main reason to do
it is that it eliminates a recursive-reload failure that occurs if the
partkey or partdesc expressions contain any references to the relation's
rowtype (as discovered by Amit Langote).  In retrospect, since loading
these data structures might result in execution of nearly-arbitrary code
via eval_const_expressions, it was a dumb idea to require that to happen
during relcache entry rebuild.

Also, fix things so that old copies of a relcache partition descriptor
will be dropped when the cache entry's refcount goes to zero.  In the
previous coding it was possible for such copies to survive for the
lifetime of the session, as I'd complained of in a previous discussion.
(This management technique still isn't perfect, but it's better than
before.)  Improve the commentary explaining how that works and why
it's safe to hand out direct pointers to these relcache substructures.

In passing, improve RelationBuildPartitionDesc by using the same
memory-context-parent-swap approach used by RelationBuildPartitionKey,
thereby making it less dependent on strong assumptions about what
partition_bounds_copy does.  Avoid doing get_rel_relkind in the
critical section, too.

Patch by Amit Langote and Tom Lane; Robert Haas deserves some credit
for prior work in the area, too.  Although this is a pre-existing
problem, no back-patch: the patch seems too invasive to be safe to
back-patch, and the bug it fixes is a corner case that seems
relatively unlikely to cause problems in the field.

Tom Lane 6ef77cf46e Further adjust EXPLAIN's choices of table alias names.
This patch causes EXPLAIN to always assign a separate table alias to the
parent RTE of an append relation (inheritance set); before, such RTEs
were ignored if not actually scanned by the plan.  Since the child RTEs
now always have that same alias to start with (cf. commit 55a1954da),
the net effect is that the parent RTE usually gets the alias used or
implied by the query text, and the children all get that alias with "_N"
appended.  (The exception to "usually" is if there are duplicate aliases
in different subtrees of the original query; then some of those original
RTEs will also have "_N" appended.)

This results in more uniform output for partitioned-table plans than
we had before: the partitioned table itself gets the original alias,
and all child tables have aliases with "_N", rather than the previous
behavior where one of the children would get an alias without "_N".

The reason for giving the parent RTE an alias, even if it isn't scanned
by the plan, is that we now use the parent's alias to qualify Vars that
refer to an appendrel output column and appear above the Append or
MergeAppend that computes the appendrel.  But below the append, Vars
refer to some one of the child relations, and are displayed that way.
This seems clearer than the old behavior where a Var that could carry
values from any child relation was displayed as if it referred to only
one of them.

While at it, change ruleutils.c so that the code paths used by EXPLAIN
deal in Plan trees not PlanState trees.  This effectively reverts a
decision made in commit 1cc29fe7c, which seemed like a good idea at
the time to make ruleutils.c consistent with explain.c.  However,
it's problematic because we'd really like to allow executor startup
pruning to remove all the children of an append node when possible,
leaving no child PlanState to resolve Vars against.  (That's not done
here, but will be in the next patch.)  This requires different handling
of subplans and initplans than before, but is otherwise a pretty
straightforward change.

Tom Lane c35b714caf Fix misbehavior with expression indexes on ON COMMIT DELETE ROWS tables.
We implement ON COMMIT DELETE ROWS by truncating tables marked that
way, which requires also truncating/rebuilding their indexes.  But
RelationTruncateIndexes asks the relcache for up-to-date copies of any
index expressions, which may cause execution of eval_const_expressions
on them, which can result in actual execution of subexpressions.
This is a bad thing to have happening during ON COMMIT.  Manuel Rigger
reported that use of a SQL function resulted in crashes due to
expectations that ActiveSnapshot would be set, which it isn't.
The most obvious fix perhaps would be to push a snapshot during
PreCommit_on_commit_actions, but I think that would just open the door
to more problems: CommitTransaction explicitly expects that no
user-defined code can be running at this point.

Fortunately, since we know that no tuples exist to be indexed, there
seems no need to use the real index expressions or predicates during
RelationTruncateIndexes.  We can set up dummy index expressions
instead (we do need something that will expose the right data type,
as there are places that build index tupdescs based on this), and
just ignore predicates and exclusion constraints.

In a green field it'd likely be better to reimplement ON COMMIT DELETE
ROWS using the same "init fork" infrastructure used for unlogged
relations.  That seems impractical without catalog changes though,
and even without that it'd be too big a change to back-patch.
So for now do it like this.

so back-patch to all supported branches.

Tom Lane 553d2ec271 Allow access to child table statistics if user can read parent table.
The fix for CVE-2017-7484 disallowed use of pg_statistic data for
planning purposes if the user would not be able to select the associated
column and a non-leakproof function is to be applied to the statistics
values.  That turns out to disable use of pg_statistic data in some
common cases involving inheritance/partitioning, where the user does
have permission to select from the parent table that was actually named
in the query, but not from a child table whose stats are needed.  Since,
in non-corner cases, the user *can* select the child table's data via
the parent, this restriction is not actually useful from a security
standpoint.  Improve the logic so that we also check the permissions of
the originally-named table, and allow access if select permission exists
for that.

When checking access to stats for a simple child column, we can map
the child column number back to the parent, and perform this test
exactly (including not allowing access if the child column isn't
exposed by the parent).  For expression indexes, the current logic
just insists on whole-table select access, and this patch allows
access if the user can select the whole parent table.  In principle,
if the child table has extra columns, this might allow access to
stats on columns the user can't read.  In practice, it's unlikely
that the planner is going to do any stats calculations involving
expressions that are not visible to the query, so we'll ignore that
fine point for now.  Perhaps someday we'll improve that logic to
detect exactly which columns are used by an expression index ...
but today is not that day.

Back-patch to v11.  The issue was created in 9.2 and up by the
CVE-2017-7484 fix, but this patch depends on the append_rel_array[]
planner data structure which only exists in v11 and up.  In
practice the issue is most urgent with partitioned tables, so
fixing v11 and later should satisfy much of the practical need.

Tom Lane 4a0aab14dc Defend against self-referential views in relation_is_updatable().
While a self-referential view doesn't actually work, it's possible
to create one, and it turns out that this breaks some of the
information_schema views.  Those views call relation_is_updatable(),
which neglected to consider the hazards of being recursive.  In
older PG versions you get a "stack depth limit exceeded" error,
but since v10 it'd recurse to the point of stack overrun and crash,
because commit a4c35ea1c took out the expression_returns_set() call
that was incidentally checking the stack depth.

Since this function is only used by information_schema views, it
seems like it'd be better to return "not updatable" than suffer
an error.  Hence, add tracking of what views we're examining,
in just the same way that the nearby fireRIRrules() code detects
self-referential views.  I added a check_stack_depth() call too,
just to be defensive.

Per private report from Manuel Rigger.  Back-patch to all
supported versions.

Michael Paquier 168d206400 Provide statistics for hypothetical BRIN indexes
Trying to use hypothetical indexes with BRIN currently fails when trying
to access a relation that does not exist when looking for the
statistics.  With the current API, it is not possible to easily pass
a value for pages_per_range down to the hypothetical index, so this
makes use of the default value of BRIN_DEFAULT_PAGES_PER_RANGE, which
should be fine enough in most cases.

Being able to refine or enforce the hypothetical costs in more
optimistic ways would require more refactoring by filling in the
statistics when building IndexOptInfo in plancat.c.  This would involve
ABI breakages around the costing routines, something not fit for stable
branches.

This is broken since 7e534ad, so backpatch down to v10.

Tom Lane 9ff5b699ed Sync patternsel_common's operator selection logic with pattern_prefix's.
Make patternsel_common() select the comparison operators to use with
hardwired logic that matches pattern_prefix()'s new logic, eliminating
its dependencies on particular index opfamilies.

This shouldn't change any behavior, as it's just replacing runtime
operator lookups with the same values hard-wired.  But it makes these
closely-related functions look more alike, and saving some runtime
syscache lookups is worth something.

Actually, it's not quite true that this is zero behavioral change:
when estimating for a column of type "name", the comparison constant
will be kept as "text" not coerced to "name".  But that's more correct
anyway, and it allows additional simplification of the coercion logic,
again syncing this more closely with pattern_prefix().

Per consideration of a report from Manuel Rigger.

Tom Lane 2ddedcafca Reduce match_pattern_prefix()'s dependencies on index opfamilies.
Historically, the planner's LIKE/regex index optimizations were only
carried out for specific index opfamilies.  That's never been a great
idea from the standpoint of extensibility, but it didn't matter so
much as long as we had no practical way to extend such behaviors anyway.
With the addition of planner support functions, and in view of ongoing
work to support additional table and index AMs, it seems like a good
time to relax this.

Hence, recast the decisions in match_pattern_prefix() so that rather
than decide which operators to generate by looking at what the index
opfamily contains, we decide which operators to generate a-priori
and then see if the opfamily supports them.  This is much more
defensible from a semantic standpoint anyway, since we know the
semantics of the chosen operators precisely, and we only need to
assume that the opfamily correctly implements operators it claims
to support.

The existing "pattern" opfamilies put a crimp in this approach, since
we need to select the pattern operators if we want those to work.
So we still have to special-case those opfamilies.  But that seems
all right, since in view of the addition of collations, the pattern
opfamilies seem like a legacy hack that nobody will be building on.

The only immediate effect of this change, so far as the core code is
concerned, is that anchored LIKE/regex patterns can be mapped onto
BRIN index searches, and exact-match patterns can be mapped onto hash
indexes, not only btree and spgist indexes as before.  That's not a
terribly exciting result, but it does fix an omission mentioned in
the ancient comments here.

Note: no catversion bump, even though this touches pg_operator.dat,
because it's only adding OID macros not changing the contents of
postgres.bki.

Per consideration of a report from Manuel Rigger.

Tom Lane b3c265d7be Fix corner-case failure in match_pattern_prefix().
The planner's optimization code for LIKE and regex operators could
error out with a complaint like "no = operator for opfamily NNN"
if someone created a binary-compatible index (for example, a
bpchar_ops index on a text column) on the LIKE's left argument.

This is a consequence of careless refactoring in commit 74dfe58a5.
The old code in match_special_index_operator only accepted specific
combinations of the pattern operator and the index opclass, thereby
indirectly guaranteeing that the opclass would have a comparison
operator with the same LHS input type as the pattern operator.
While moving the logic out to a planner support function, I simplified
that test in a way that no longer guarantees that.  Really though we'd
like an altogether weaker dependency on the opclass, so rather than
put back exactly the old code, just allow lookup failure.  I have in
mind now to rewrite this logic completely, but this is the minimum
change needed to fix the bug in v12.

Per report from Manuel Rigger.  Back-patch to v12 where the mistake
came in.

Amit Kapila cec2edfa78 Add logical_decoding_work_mem to limit ReorderBuffer memory usage.
Instead of deciding to serialize a transaction merely based on the
number of changes in that xact (toplevel or subxact), this makes
the decisions based on amount of memory consumed by the changes.

The memory limit is defined by a new logical_decoding_work_mem GUC,
so for example we can do this

    SET logical_decoding_work_mem = '128kB'

to reduce the memory usage of walsenders or set the higher value to
reduce disk writes. The minimum value is 64kB.

When adding a change to a transaction, we account for the size in
two places. Firstly, in the ReorderBuffer, which is then used to
decide if we reached the total memory limit. And secondly in the
transaction the change belongs to, so that we can pick the largest
transaction to evict (and serialize to disk).

We still use max_changes_in_memory when loading changes serialized
to disk. The trouble is we can't use the memory limit directly as
there might be multiple subxact serialized, we need to read all of
them but we don't know how many are there (and which subxact to
read first).

We do not serialize the ReorderBufferTXN entries, so if there is a
transaction with many subxacts, most memory may be in this type of
objects. Those records are not included in the memory accounting.

We also do not account for INTERNAL_TUPLECID changes, which are
kept in a separate list and not evicted from memory. Transactions
with many CTID changes may consume significant amounts of memory,
but we can't really do much about that.

The current eviction algorithm is very simple - the transaction is
picked merely by size, while it might be useful to also consider age
(LSN) of the changes for example. With the new Generational memory
allocator, evicting the oldest changes would make it more likely
the memory gets actually pfreed.

The logical_decoding_work_mem can be set in postgresql.conf, in which
case it serves as the default for all publishers on that instance.

Tom Lane bf2efc55da Further fix dumping of views that contain just VALUES(...).
It turns out that commit e9f1c01b7 missed a case: we must print a
VALUES clause in long format if get_query_def is given a resultDesc
that would require the query's output column name(s) to be different
from what the bare VALUES clause would produce.

This applies in case an ALTER ... RENAME COLUMN has been done to
a view that formerly could be printed in simple format, as shown
in the added regression test case.  It also explains bug #16119
from Dmitry Telpt, because it turns out that (unlike CREATE VIEW)
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW fails to apply any column aliases it's
given to the stored ON SELECT rule.  So to get them to be printed,
we have to account for the resultDesc renaming.  It might be worth
changing the matview code so that it creates the ON SELECT rule
with the correct aliases; but we'd still need these messy checks in
get_simple_values_rte to handle the case of a subsequent column
rename, so any such change would be just neatnik-ism not a bug fix.

Like the previous patch, back-patch to all supported branches.

Tom Lane 7a0574b50e Fix ecpglib.h to declare bool consistently with c.h.
This completes the task begun in commit 1408d5d86, to synchronize
ECPG's exported definitions with the definition of bool used by
c.h (and, therefore, the one actually in use in the ECPG library).
On practically all modern platforms, ecpglib.h will now just
include <stdbool.h>, which should surprise nobody anymore.
That removes a header-inclusion-order hazard for ECPG clients,
who previously might get build failures or unexpected behavior
depending on whether they'd included <stdbool.h> themselves,
and if so, whether before or after ecpglib.h.

On platforms where sizeof(_Bool) is not 1 (only old PPC-based
Mac systems, as far as I know), things are still messy, as
inclusion of <stdbool.h> could still break ECPG client code.
There doesn't seem to be any clean fix for that, and given the
probably-negligible population of users who would care anymore,
it's not clear we should go far out of our way to cope with it.
This change at least fixes some header-inclusion-order hazards
for our own code, since c.h and ecpglib.h previously disagreed
on whether bool should be char or unsigned char.

To implement this with minimal invasion of ECPG client namespace,
move the choice of whether to rely on <stdbool.h> into configure,
and have it export a configuration symbol PG_USE_STDBOOL.

ecpglib.h no longer exports definitions for TRUE and FALSE,
only their lowercase brethren.  We could undo that if we get
push-back about it.

Ideally we'd back-patch this as far as v11, which is where c.h
started to rely on <stdbool.h>.  But the odds of creating problems
for formerly-working ECPG client code seem about as large as the
odds of fixing any non-working cases, so we'll just do this in HEAD.
