2023-08-29Initialize ListenSocket array earlier.Heikki Linnakangas
After commit b0bea38705, syslogger prints 63 warnings about failing to close a listen socket at postmaster startup. That's because the syslogger process forks before the ListenSockets array is initialized, so ClosePostmasterPorts() calls "close(0)" 64 times. The first call succeeds, because fd 0 is stdin. This has been like this since commit 9a86f03b4e in version 13, which moved the SysLogger_Start() call to before initializing ListenSockets. We just didn't notice until commit b0bea38705 added the LOG message. Reported by Michael Paquier and Jeff Janes.

2023-08-24pg_upgrade: Bump MESSAGE_WIDTH.Nathan Bossart
Commit 7b378237aa added a status message to pg_upgrade that is 60 characters wide. Since the MESSAGE_WIDTH macro is currently set to 60, there is no space between this new status message and the "ok" or "failed" indicator appended when the step completes.

2023-08-24Avoid unnecessary plancache revalidation of utility statements.Tom Lane
Revalidation of a plancache entry (after a cache invalidation event) requires acquiring a snapshot. Normally that is harmless, but not if the cached statement is one that needs to run without acquiring a snapshot. We were already aware of that for TransactionStmts, but for some reason hadn't extrapolated to the other statements that PlannedStmtRequiresSnapshot() knows mustn't set a snapshot. This can lead to unexpected failures of commands such as SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL. We can fix it in the same way, by excluding those command types from revalidation. However, we can do even better than that: there is no need to revalidate for any statement type for which parse analysis, rewrite, and plan steps do nothing interesting, which is nearly all utility commands. To mechanize this, invent a parser function stmt_requires_parse_analysis() that tells whether parse analysis does anything beyond wrapping a CMD_UTILITY Query around the raw parse tree. If that's what it does, then rewrite and plan will just skip the Query, so that it is not possible for the same raw parse tree to produce a different plan tree after cache invalidation. stmt_requires_parse_analysis() is basically equivalent to the existing function analyze_requires_snapshot(), except that for obscure reasons that function omits ReturnStmt and CallStmt. It is unclear whether those were oversights or intentional. I have not been able to demonstrate a bug from not acquiring a snapshot while analyzing these commands, but at best it seems mighty fragile. It seems safer to acquire a snapshot for parse analysis of these commands too, which allows making stmt_requires_parse_analysis and analyze_requires_snapshot equivalent. In passing this fixes a second bug, which is that ResetPlanCache would exclude ReturnStmts and CallStmts from revalidation. That's surely *not* safe, since they contain parsable expressions. Per bug #18059 from Pavel Kulakov. Back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/18059-79c692f036b25346@postgresql.org

2023-08-24Meson: check for pg_config_paths.h left over from makeDavid Rowley
The meson build scripts attempt to find files left over from configure and fail, mentioning that "make maintainer-clean" should be run to remove these. This seems to have been done for files generated from configure. pg_config_paths.h is generated during the actual make build, so seems to have been missed. This would result in compilation using the wrong pg_config_paths.h file. Here we just add this file to generated_sources_ac so that meson errors out if pg_config_paths.h exists. Likely this wasn't noticed before because make maintainer-clean will remove pg_config_paths.h, however, people using the MSVC build scripts are more likely to run into issues and they have to manually remove these files and pg_config_paths.h wasn't listed as a conflicting file to remove in the meson log.

2023-08-23ci: Prepare to make compute resources for CI configurableAndres Freund
cirrus-ci will soon restrict the amount of free resources every user gets (as have many other CI providers). For most users of CI that should not be an issue. But e.g. for cfbot it will be an issue. To allow configuring different resources on a per-repository basis, introduce infrastructure for overriding the task execution environment. Unfortunately this is not entirely trivial, as yaml anchors have to be defined before their use, and cirrus-ci only allows injecting additional contents at the end of .cirrus.yml. To deal with that, move the definition of the CI tasks to .cirrus.tasks.yml. The main .cirrus.yml is loaded first, then, if defined, the file referenced by the REPO_CI_CONFIG_GIT_URL variable, will be added, followed by the contents of .cirrus.tasks.yml. That allows REPO_CI_CONFIG_GIT_URL to override the yaml anchors defined in .cirrus.yml. Unfortunately git's default merge / rebase strategy does not handle copied files, just renamed ones. To avoid painful rebasing over this change, this commit just renames .cirrus.yml to .cirrus.tasks.yml, without adding a new .cirrus.yml. That's done in the followup commit, which moves the relevant portion of .cirrus.tasks.yml to .cirrus.yml. Until that is done, REPO_CI_CONFIG_GIT_URL does not fully work.

2023-08-23Use the buffer cache when initializing an unlogged index.Heikki Linnakangas
Some of the ambuildempty functions used smgrwrite() directly, followed by smgrimmedsync(). A few small problems with that: Firstly, one is supposed to use smgrextend() when extending a relation, not smgrwrite(). It doesn't make much difference in production builds. smgrextend() updates the relation size cache, so you miss that, but that's harmless because we never use the cached relation size of an init fork. But if you compile with CHECK_WRITE_VS_EXTEND, you get an assertion failure. Secondly, the smgrwrite() calls were performed before WAL-logging, so the page image written to disk had 0/0 as the LSN, not the LSN of the WAL record. That's also harmless in practice, but seems sloppy. Thirdly, it's better to use the buffer cache, because then you don't need to smgrimmedsync() the relation to disk, which adds latency. Bypassing the cache makes sense for bulk operations like index creation, but not when you're just initializing an empty index. Creation of unlogged tables is hardly performance bottleneck in any real world applications, but nevertheless. Backpatch to v16, but no further. These issues should be harmless in practice, so better to not rock the boat in older branches.

2023-08-19ci: macos: use cached macports installAndres Freund
A significant chunk of the time on the macos CI task is spent installing packages using homebrew. The downloads of the packages are cached, but the installation needs to happen every time. We can't cache the whole homebrew installation, because it is too large due to pre-installed packages. Speed this up by installing packages using macports and caching the installation as .dmg. That's a lot faster than unpacking a tarball. In addition, don't install llvm - it wasn't enabled when building, so it's just a waste of time/space. This substantially speeds up the mac CI time, both in the cold cache and in the warm cache case (the latter from ~1m20s to ~5s).

2023-08-15De-pessimize ConditionVariableCancelSleep().Thomas Munro
Commit b91dd9de was concerned with a theoretical problem with our non-atomic condition variable operations. If you stop sleeping, and then cancel the sleep in a separate step, you might be signaled in between, and that could be lost. That doesn't matter for callers of ConditionVariableBroadcast(), but callers of ConditionVariableSignal() might be upset if a signal went missing like this. Commit bc971f4025c interacted badly with that logic, because it doesn't use ConditionVariableSleep(), which would normally put us back in the wait list. ConditionVariableCancelSleep() would be confused and think we'd received an extra signal, and try to forward it to another backend, resulting in wakeup storms. New idea: ConditionVariableCancelSleep() can just return true if we've been signaled. Hypothetical users of ConditionVariableSignal() would then still have a way to deal with rare lost signals if they are concerned about that problem. Back-patch to 16, where bc971f4025c arrived.

2023-08-14hio: Take number of prior relation extensions into accountAndres Freund
The new relation extension logic, introduced in 00d1e02be24, could lead to slowdowns in some scenarios. E.g., when loading narrow rows into a table using COPY, the caller of RelationGetBufferForTuple() will only request a small number of pages. Without concurrency, we just extended using pwritev() in that case. However, if there is *some* concurrency, we switched between extending by a small number of pages and a larger number of pages, depending on the number of waiters for the relation extension logic. However, some filesystems, XFS in particular, do not perform well when switching between extending files using fallocate() and pwritev(). To avoid that issue, remember the number of prior relation extensions in BulkInsertState and extend more aggressively if there were prior relation extensions. That not just avoids the aforementioned slowdown, but also leads to noticeable performance gains in other situations, primarily due to extending more aggressively when there is no concurrency. I should have done it this way from the get go.

2023-08-12ci: macos: Remove use of -Dsegsize_blocks=6Andres Freund
The option causes a measurable slowdown. Macos is, by far, the most expensive platform for CI, therefore it doesn't make sense to run such a test there. d3b111e3205 used a small segment size for two tasks, one with autoconf, one with meson. In hindsight that is a bit overkill, it's unlikely that the option would silently break. Thus don't move the -Dsegsize_blocks=6, just remove it. I did however change the autoconf test to use 6 instead of 8 blocks, as long as we allow it, a non-power-of-two test seems like a good idea. While at it, add a comment explaining why we use a small segment size for CI.
