22 hoursbufmgr: Use atomic sub for unpinning buffersHEADorigin/masterorigin/HEADmasterAndres Freund
The prior commit made it legal to modify BufferDesc.state while the buffer header spinlock is held. This allows us to replace the CAS loop inUnpinBufferNoOwner() with an atomic sub. This improves scalability significantly. See the prior commits for more background.

22 hoursbufmgr: Allow some buffer state modifications while holding header lockAndres Freund
Until now BufferDesc.state was not allowed to be modified while the buffer header spinlock was held. This meant that operations like unpinning buffers needed to use a CAS loop, waiting for the buffer header spinlock to be released before updating. The benefit of that restriction is that it allowed us to unlock the buffer header spinlock with just a write barrier and an unlocked write (instead of a full atomic operation). That was important to avoid regressions in 48354581a49c. However, since then the hottest buffer header spinlock uses have been replaced with atomic operations (in particular, the most common use of PinBuffer_Locked(), in GetVictimBuffer() (formerly in BufferAlloc()), has been removed in 5e899859287). This change will allow, in a subsequent commit, to release buffer pins with a single atomic-sub operation. This previously was not possible while such operations were not allowed while the buffer header spinlock was held, as an atomic-sub would not have allowed a race-free check for the buffer header lock being held. Using atomic-sub to unpin buffers is a nice scalability win, however it is not the primary motivation for this change (although it would be sufficient). The primary motivation is that we would like to merge the buffer content lock into BufferDesc.state, which will result in more frequent changes of the state variable, which in some situations can cause a performance regression, due to an increased CAS failure rate when unpinning buffers. The regression entirely vanishes when using atomic-sub. Naively implementing this would require putting CAS loops in every place modifying the buffer state while holding the buffer header lock. To avoid that, introduce UnlockBufHdrExt(), which can set/add flags as well as the refcount, together with releasing the lock.

23 hoursTidyup WARNING ereports in subscriptioncmds.cDavid Rowley
A couple of ereports were making use of StringInfos as temporary storage for the portions of the WARNING message. One was doing this to avoid having 2 separate ereports. This was all fairly unnecessary and resulted in more code rather than less code. Refactor out the additional StringInfos and make check_publications_origin_tables() use 2 ereports. In passing, adjust pubnames to become a stack-allocated StringInfoData to avoid having to palloc the temporary StringInfoData. This follows on from the efforts made in 6d0eba662.

XLogRecPtrIsInvalid() is inconsistent with the affirmative form of macros used for other datatypes, and leads to awkward double negatives in a few places. This commit introduces XLogRecPtrIsValid(), which allows code to be written more naturally. This patch only adds the new macro. XLogRecPtrIsInvalid() is left in place, and all existing callers remain untouched. This means all supported branches can accept hypothetical bug fixes that use the new macro, and at the same time any code that compiled with the original formulation will continue to silently compile just fine.

31 hoursRefactor shared memory allocation for semaphoresHeikki Linnakangas
Before commit e25626677f, spinlocks were implemented using semaphores on some platforms (--disable-spinlocks). That made it necessary to initialize semaphores early, before any spinlocks could be used. Now that we don't support --disable-spinlocks anymore, we can allocate the shared memory needed for semaphores the same way as other shared memory structures. Since the semaphores are used only in the PGPROC array, move the semaphore shmem size estimation and initialization calls to ProcGlobalShmemSize() and InitProcGlobal().

35 hoursFix few issues in commit 5509055d69.Amit Kapila
Test failure on buildfarm member prion: The test failed due to an unexpected LOCATION: line appearing between the WARNING and ERROR messages. This occurred because the prion machine uses log_error_verbosity = verbose, which includes additional context in error messages. The test was originally checking for both WARNING and ERROR messages in sequence sync, but the extra LOCATION: line disrupted this pattern. To make the test robust across different verbosity settings, it now only checks for the presence of the WARNING message after the test, which is sufficient to validate the intended behavior. Failure to sync sequences with quoted names: The previous implementation did not correctly quote sequence names when querying remote information, leading to failures when quoted sequence names were used. This fix ensures that sequence names are properly quoted during remote queries, allowing sequences with quoted identifiers to be synced correctly.

In that case, ordinarily it would be ok to call estimate_num_groups() on the targetlist of the only child path, however that's not safe to do if the UNION child is the result of some other set operation as we generate targetlists containing Vars with varno==0 for those, which estimate_num_groups() can't handle. This could lead to: ERROR: XX000: no relation entry for relid 0 Fix this by avoiding doing this when the only child is the result of another set operation.

2 daysImplement WAIT FOR commandAlexander Korotkov
WAIT FOR is to be used on standby and specifies waiting for the specific WAL location to be replayed. This option is useful when the user makes some data changes on primary and needs a guarantee to see these changes are on standby. WAIT FOR needs to wait without any snapshot held. Otherwise, the snapshot could prevent the replay of WAL records, implying a kind of self-deadlock. This is why separate utility command seems appears to be the most robust way to implement this functionality. It's not possible to implement this as a function. Previous experience shows that stored procedures also have limitation in this aspect.

2 daysAdd infrastructure for efficient LSN waitingAlexander Korotkov
Implement a new facility that allows processes to wait for WAL to reach specific LSNs, both on primary (waiting for flush) and standby (waiting for replay) servers. The implementation uses shared memory with per-backend information organized into pairing heaps, allowing O(1) access to the minimum waited LSN. This enables fast-path checks: after replaying or flushing WAL, the startup process or WAL writer can quickly determine if any waiters need to be awakened. Key components: - New xlogwait.c/h module with WaitForLSNReplay() and WaitForLSNFlush() - Separate pairing heaps for replay and flush waiters - WaitLSN lightweight lock for coordinating shared state - Wait events WAIT_FOR_WAL_REPLAY and WAIT_FOR_WAL_FLUSH for monitoring This infrastructure can be used by features that need to wait for WAL operations to complete.

2 daysFix assertion failure in generate_orderedappend_paths()Richard Guo
In generate_orderedappend_paths(), there is an assumption that a child relation's row estimate is always greater than zero. There is an Assert verifying this assumption, and the estimate is also used to convert an absolute tuple count into a fraction. However, this assumption is not always valid -- for example, upper relations can have their row estimates unset, resulting in a value of zero. This can cause an assertion failure in debug builds or lead to the tuple fraction being computed as infinity in production builds. To fix, use the row estimate from the cheapest_total path to compute the tuple fraction. The row estimate in this path should already have been forced to a valid value. In passing, update the comment for generate_orderedappend_paths() to note that the function also considers the cheapest-fractional case when not all tuples need to be retrieved. That is, it collects all the cheapest fractional paths and builds an ordered append path for each interesting ordering. Backpatch to v18, where this issue was introduced.

2 daysFix timing-dependent failure in recovery test 004_timeline_switchMichael Paquier
The test introduced by 17b2d5ec759c verifies that a WAL receiver survives across a timeline jump by searching the server logs for termination messages. However, it called restart() before the timeline switch, which kills the WAL receiver and may log the exact message being checked, hence failing the test. As TAP tests reuse the same log file across restarts, a rotate_logfile() is used before the restart so as the log matching check is not impacted by log entries generated by a previous shutdown. Recent changes to file handle inheritance altered I/O timing enough to make this fail consistently while testing another patch. While on it, this adds an extra check based on a PID comparison. This test may lead to false positives as it could be possible that the WAL receiver has processed a timeline jump before the initial PID is grabbed, but it should be good enough in most cases. Like 17b2d5ec759c, backpatch down to v13.

3 daysAdd sequence synchronization for logical replication.Amit Kapila
This patch introduces sequence synchronization. Sequences that are synced will have 2 states: - INIT (needs [re]synchronizing) - READY (is already synchronized) A new sequencesync worker is launched as needed to synchronize sequences. A single sequencesync worker is responsible for synchronizing all sequences. It begins by retrieving the list of sequences that are flagged for synchronization, i.e., those in the INIT state. These sequences are then processed in batches, allowing multiple entries to be synchronized within a single transaction. The worker fetches the current sequence values and page LSNs from the remote publisher, updates the corresponding sequences on the local subscriber, and finally marks each sequence as READY upon successful synchronization. Sequence synchronization occurs in 3 places: 1) CREATE SUBSCRIPTION - The command syntax remains unchanged. - The subscriber retrieves sequences associated with publications. - Published sequences are added to pg_subscription_rel with INIT state. - Initiate the sequencesync worker to synchronize all sequences. 2) ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... REFRESH PUBLICATION - The command syntax remains unchanged. - Dropped published sequences are removed from pg_subscription_rel. - Newly published sequences are added to pg_subscription_rel with INIT state. - Initiate the sequencesync worker to synchronize only newly added sequences. 3) ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... REFRESH SEQUENCES - A new command introduced for PG19 by f0b3573c3a. - All sequences in pg_subscription_rel are reset to INIT state. - Initiate the sequencesync worker to synchronize all sequences. - Unlike "ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... REFRESH PUBLICATION" command, addition and removal of missing sequences will not be done in this case.

This patch changes exec_execute_message() to drop unnamed portals immediately after execution to completion at the end of an Execute message, making their removal more aggressive. This forces temporary file cleanups to happen at the same time as the completion of the portal execution, with statement logging correctly reflecting to which statements these temporary files were attached to (see the diffs in the TAP test updated by this commit for an idea). The documentation is updated to describe the lifetime of unnamed portals, and test cases are updated to verify temporary file removal and proper statement logging after unnamed portal execution. This changes how unnamed portals are handled in the protocol, hence no backpatch is done.

The comment for ChangeVarNodes() refers to a parameter named change_RangeTblRef, which does not exist in the code. The comment for ChangeVarNodesExtended() contains an extra space, while the comment for replace_relid_callback() has an awkward line break and a typo.

3 daysAdd assertions checking for the startup process in WAL replay routinesMichael Paquier
These assertions may prove to become useful to make sure that no process other than the startup process calls the routines where these checks are added, as we expect that these do not interfere with a WAL receiver switched to a "stopping" state by a startup process. The assumption that only the startup process can use this code has existed for many years, without a check enforcing it.

3 daysaio: Improve assertions related to io_methodAndres Freund
First, the assertions in assign_io_method() were the wrong way round. Second, the lengthof() assertion checked the length of io_method_options, which is the wrong array to check and is always longer than pgaio_method_ops_table. While add it, add a static assert to ensure pgaio_method_ops_table and io_method_options stay in sync. Per coverity and Tom Lane. Reported-by: Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us> Backpatch-through: 18
3 daysjit: Fix accidentally-harmless type confusionAndres Freund
In 2a0faed9d702, which added JIT compilation support for expressions, I accidentally used sizeof(LLVMBasicBlockRef *) instead of sizeof(LLVMBasicBlockRef) as part of computing the size of an allocation. That turns out to have no real negative consequences due to LLVMBasicBlockRef being a pointer itself (and thus having the same size). It still is wrong and confusing, so fix it. Reported by coverity.

3 daysFix possible usage of incorrect UPPERREL_SETOP RelOptInfoDavid Rowley
03d40e4b5 allowed dummy UNION [ALL] children to be removed from the plan by checking for is_dummy_rel(). That commit neglected to still account for the relids from the dummy rel so that the correct UPPERREL_SETOP RelOptInfo could be found and used for adding the Paths to. Not doing this could result in processing of subsequent UNIONs using the same RelOptInfo as a previously processed UNION, which could result in add_path() freeing old Paths that are needed by the previous UNION. The same fix was independently submitted (2 mins later) by Richard Guo.

3 daysTrim TIDs during parallel GIN builds more eagerlyTomas Vondra
The parallel GIN builds perform "freezing" of TID lists when merging chunks built earlier. This means determining what part of the list can no longer change, depending on the last received chunk. The frozen part can be evicted from memory and written out. The code attempted to freeze items right before merging the old and new TID list, after already attempting to trim the current buffer. That means part of the data may get frozen based on the new TID list, but will be trimmed later (on next loop). This increases memory usage. This inverts the order, so that we freeze data first (before trimming). The benefits are likely relatively small, but it's also virtually free with no other downsides.

3 daysLimit the size of TID lists during parallel GIN buildTomas Vondra
When building intermediate TID lists during parallel GIN builds, split the sorted lists into smaller chunks, to limit the amount of memory needed when merging the chunks later. The leader may need to keep in memory up to one chunk per worker, and possibly one extra chunk (before evicting some of the data). The code processing item pointers uses regular palloc/repalloc calls, which means it's subject to the MaxAllocSize (1GB) limit. We could fix this by allowing huge allocations, but that'd require changes in many places without much benefit. Larger chunks do not actually improve performance, so the memory usage would be wasted. Fixed by limiting the chunk size to not hit MaxAllocSize. Each worker gets a fair share. This requires remembering the number of participating workers, in a place that can be accessed from the callback. Luckily, the bs_worker_id field in GinBuildState was unused, so repurpose that. Report by Greg Smith, investigation and fix by me. Batchpatched to 18, where parallel GIN builds were introduced.

3 daysAllow "SET list_guc TO NULL" to specify setting the GUC to empty.Tom Lane
We have never had a SET syntax that allows setting a GUC_LIST_INPUT parameter to be an empty list. A locution such as SET search_path = ''; doesn't mean that; it means setting the GUC to contain a single item that is an empty string. (For search_path the net effect is much the same, because search_path ignores invalid schema names and '' must be invalid.) This is confusing, not least because configuration-file entries and the set_config() function can easily produce empty-list values. We considered making the empty-string syntax do this, but that would foreclose ever allowing empty-string items to be valid in list GUCs. While there isn't any obvious use-case for that today, it feels like the kind of restriction that might hurt someday. Instead, let's accept the forbidden-up-to-now value NULL and treat that as meaning an empty list. (An objection to this could be "what if we someday want to allow NULL as a GUC value?". That seems unlikely though, and even if we did allow it for scalar GUCs, we could continue to treat it as meaning an empty list for list GUCs.)
