in favor of having just one set of macros that don't do HOLD/RESUME_INTERRUPTS
(hence, these correspond to the old SpinLockAcquire_NoHoldoff case).
Given our coding rules for spinlock use, there is no reason to allow
CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS to be done while holding a spinlock, and also there
is no situation where ImmediateInterruptOK will be true while holding a
spinlock. Therefore doing HOLD/RESUME_INTERRUPTS while taking/releasing a
spinlock is just a waste of cycles. Qingqing Zhou and Tom Lane.

setup. This protects against undesired changes in locale behavior
if someone carelessly does setlocale(LC_ALL, "") (and we know who
you are, perl guys).
|
|
reduce contention for the former single LockMgrLock. Per my recent
proposal. I set it up for 16 partitions, but on a pgbench test this
gives only a marginal further improvement over 4 partitions --- we need
to test more scenarios to choose the number of partitions.

SLRU area. The number of slots is still a compile-time constant (someday
we might want to change that), but at least it's a different constant for
each SLRU area. Increase number of subtrans buffers to 32 based on
experimentation with a heavily subtrans-bashing test case, and increase
number of multixact member buffers to 16, since it's obviously silly for
it not to be at least twice the number of multixact offset buffers.

lock, not exclusive, if the desired page is already in memory. This can
be demonstrated to be a significant win on the pg_subtrans cache when there
is a large window of open transactions. It should be useful for pg_clog
as well. I didn't try to make GetMultiXactIdMembers() use the code, as
that would have taken some restructuring, and what with the local cache
for multixact contents it probably wouldn't really make a difference.
Per my recent proposal.

comment line where output as too long, and update typedefs for /lib
directory. Also fix case where identifiers were used as variable names
in the backend, but as typedefs in ecpg (favor the backend for
indenting).
Backpatch to 8.1.X.

for the SLRU race condition that I posted a few days ago, but we decided
not to use in 8.1 and older branches.
|

very narrow window in which SimpleLruReadPage or SimpleLruWritePage could
think that I/O was needed when it wasn't (and indeed the buffer had already
been assigned to another page). This would result in an Assert failure if
Asserts were enabled, and probably in silent data corruption if not.
Reported independently by Jim Nasby and Robert Creager.
I intend a more extensive fix when 8.2 development starts, but this is a
reasonably low-impact patch for the existing branches.

reserving SLRU space for a new MultiXact. The original coding would have
treated out-of-disk-space as a PANIC condition, which is unnecessary.
|
|
multixact's starting offset before the offset has been stored into the
SLRU file. A simple fix would be to hold the MultiXactGenLock until the
offset has been stored, but that looks like a big concurrency hit. Instead
rely on knowledge that unset offsets will be zero, and loop when we see
a zero. This requires a little extra hacking to ensure that zero is never
a valid value for the offset. Problem reported by Matteo Beccati, fix
ideas from Martijn van Oosterhout, Alvaro Herrera, and Tom Lane.

a good idea with the increasing prevalence of 32/64 bit environments.

saves nearly 700kB in the default shared memory segment size, which seems
worthwhile, and it is a feature that many users won't use anyway. Per
Heikki's argument, there is no point in a compromise value --- those who
are using 2PC at all will probably want it at least equal to max_connections.
But we can't set it to zero by default without breaking the prepared_xacts
regression test.

after the fact. Fix bug with incorrect test for whether we are at end
of logfile segment. Arrange for writes triggered by XLogInsert's
is-cache-more-than-half-full test to synchronize with the cache boundaries,
so that in long transactions we tend to write alternating halves of the
cache rather than randomly chosen portions of it; this saves one more
write syscall per cache load.

to 'Size' (that is, size_t), and install overflow detection checks in it.
This allows us to remove the former arbitrary restrictions on NBuffers
etc. It won't make any difference in a 32-bit machine, but in a 64-bit
machine you could theoretically have terabytes of shared buffers.
(How efficiently we could manage 'em remains to be seen.) Similarly,
num_temp_buffers, work_mem, and maintenance_work_mem can be set above
2Gb on a 64-bit machine. Original patch from Koichi Suzuki, additional
work by moi.

AbortTransaction. This can happen if a backend's InitPostgres transaction
fails (eg, because the given username is invalid). Per Alvaro.

errors that can otherwise occur once the OID counter has wrapped around.
Duplicate relfilenode values are also checked for when creating new
physical files. Per my recent proposal.

delay and limit, both as global GUCs and as table-specific entries in
pg_autovacuum. stats_reset_on_server_start is now OFF by default,
but a reset is forced if we did WAL replay. XID-wrap vacuums do not
ANALYZE, but do FREEZE if it's a template database. Alvaro Herrera
|

ResourceOwner mechanism already released all reference counts for the
cache entries; therefore, we do not need to scan the catcache or relcache
at transaction end, unless we want to do it as a debugging crosscheck.
Do the crosscheck only in Assert mode. This is the same logic we had
previously installed in AtEOXact_Buffers to avoid overhead with large
numbers of shared buffers. I thought it'd be a good idea to do it here
too, in view of Kari Lavikka's recent report showing a real-world case
where AtEOXact_CatCache is taking a significant fraction of runtime.

track shared relations in a separate hashtable, so that operations done
from different databases are counted correctly. Add proper support for
anti-XID-wraparound vacuuming, even in databases that are never connected
to and so have no stats entries. Miscellaneous other bug fixes.

Also, write multiple WAL buffers out in one write() operation.

I'm still working on the has_role function and information_schema changes.

a minimum requirement is that it not completely break the system
meanwhile. Put the test in the right place.

chdir into PGDATA and subsequently use relative paths instead of absolute
paths to access all files under PGDATA. This seems to give a small
performance improvement, and it should make the system more robust
against naive DBAs doing things like moving a database directory that
has a live postmaster in it. Per recent discussion.

the difference between checkpoints forced due to WAL segment consumption
and checkpoints forced for other reasons (such as CREATE DATABASE). Avoid
generating 'checkpoints are occurring too frequently' messages when the
checkpoint wasn't caused by WAL segment consumption. Per gripe from
Chris K-L.
|

current time: provide a GetCurrentTimestamp() function that returns
current time in the form of a TimestampTz, instead of separate time_t
and microseconds fields. This is what all the callers really want
anyway, and it eliminates low-level dependencies on AbsoluteTime,
which is a deprecated datatype that will have to disappear eventually.

and pg_auth_members. There are still many loose ends to finish in this
patch (no documentation, no regression tests, no pg_dump support for
instance). But I'm going to commit it now anyway so that Alvaro can
make some progress on shared dependencies. The catalog changes should
be pretty much done.

includes error checking and an appropriate ereport(ERROR) message.
This gets rid of rather tedious and error-prone manipulation of errno,
as well as a Windows-specific bug workaround, at more than a dozen
call sites. After an idea in a recent patch by Heikki Linnakangas.

given reasonably short lifespans for prepared transactions, this should
mean that only a small minority of state files ever need to be fsynced
at all. Per discussion with Heikki Linnakangas.
|
|
old suggestion by Oliver Jowett. Also, add a transaction column to the
pg_locks view to show the xid of each transaction holding or awaiting
locks; this allows prepared transactions to be properly associated with
the locks they own. There was already a column named 'transaction',
and I chose to rename it to 'transactionid' --- since this column is
new in the current devel cycle there should be no backwards compatibility
issue to worry about.
