no room for a record on last log page.

NEXTXID isn't really necessary, per previous discussion in pghackers,
but I mulishy insisted we should put it in anyway. Mea culpa.

slow backend, if we update unconditionally as the code did before).

the new log file with zeroes, only while renaming it into place. This should
prevent problems with 'stuck spinlock' errors under heavy load.
|

O_SYNC, or O_DSYNC (as available on a given platform). Add GUC parameter
to control sync method.
Also, add defense to XLogWrite to prevent it from going nuts if passed
a target write position that's past the end of the buffers so far filled
by XLogInsert.

detect case that next page in log came from an older run than the prior
page. This avoids the necessity to re-zero the log after recovery from
a crash, which is good because we need not risk destroying valuable log
information.
This forces another initdb since yesterday :-(. Need to get that log
reset utility done...

* Store two past checkpoint locations, not just one, in pg_control.
On startup, we fall back to the older checkpoint if the newer one
is unreadable. Also, a physical copy of the newest checkpoint record
is kept in pg_control for possible use in disaster recovery (ie,
complete loss of pg_xlog). Also add a version number for pg_control
itself. Remove archdir from pg_control; it ought to be a GUC
parameter, not a special case (not that it's implemented yet anyway).
* Suppress successive checkpoint records when nothing has been entered
in the WAL log since the last one. This is not so much to avoid I/O
as to make it actually useful to keep track of the last two
checkpoints. If the things are right next to each other then there's
not a lot of redundancy gained...
* Change CRC scheme to a true 64-bit CRC, not a pair of 32-bit CRCs
on alternate bytes. Polynomial borrowed from ECMA DLT1 standard.
* Fix XLOG record length handling so that it will work at BLCKSZ = 32k.
* Change XID allocation to work more like OID allocation. (This is of
dubious necessity, but I think it's a good idea anyway.)
* Fix a number of minor bugs, such as off-by-one logic for XLOG file
wraparound at the 4 gig mark.
* Add documentation and clean up some coding infelicities; move file
format declarations out to include files where planned contrib
utilities can get at them.
* Checkpoint will now occur every CHECKPOINT_SEGMENTS log segments or
every CHECKPOINT_TIMEOUT seconds, whichever comes first. It is also
possible to force a checkpoint by sending SIGUSR1 to the postmaster
(undocumented feature...)
* Defend against kill -9 postmaster by storing shmem block's key and ID
in postmaster.pid lockfile, and checking at startup to ensure that no
processes are still connected to old shmem block (if it still exists).
* Switch backends to accept SIGQUIT rather than SIGUSR1 for emergency
stop, for symmetry with postmaster and xlog utilities. Clean up signal
handling in bootstrap.c so that xlog utilities launched by postmaster
will react to signals better.
* Standalone bootstrap now grabs lockfile in target directory, as added
insurance against running it in parallel with live postmaster.

only if at least N other backends currently have open transactions. This
is not a great deal of intelligence about whether a delay might be
profitable ... but it beats no intelligence at all. Note that the default
COMMIT_DELAY is still zero --- this new code does nothing unless that
setting is changed.
Also, mark ENABLEFSYNC as a system-wide setting. It's no longer safe to
allow that to be set per-backend, since we may be relying on some other
backend's fsync to have synced the WAL log.

during WAL recovery. Recovery failure is always serious.

waste of cycles on single-CPU machines, and of dubious utility on multi-CPU
machines too.
Tweak s_lock_stuck so that caller can specify timeout interval, and
increase interval before declaring stuck spinlock for buffer locks and XLOG
locks.
On systems that have fdatasync(), use that rather than fsync() to sync WAL
log writes. Ensure that WAL file is entirely allocated during XLogFileInit.

GetFreeXLBuffer(): use Insert->LgwrResult instead of private LgwrResult
copy if it's more fresh (attempt to avoid acquiring info_lck/lgwr_lck).

are treated more like 'cancel' interrupts: the signal handler sets a
flag that is examined at well-defined spots, rather than trying to cope
with an interrupt that might happen anywhere. See pghackers discussion
of 1/12/01.

are now critical sections, so as to ensure die() won't interrupt us while
we are munging shared-memory data structures. Avoid insecure intermediate
states in some code that proc_exit will call, like palloc/pfree. Rename
START/END_CRIT_CODE to START/END_CRIT_SECTION, since that seems to be
what people tend to call them anyway, and make them be called with () like
a function call, in hopes of not confusing pg_indent.
I doubt that this is sufficient to make SIGTERM safe anywhere; there's
just too much code that could get invoked during proc_exit().

- no more elog(STOP) in StartupXLOG();
- both checkpoint' undo & redo are used to define
oldest on-line log file.
2. Ability to pre-allocate a few log files at checkpoint time
(wal_files option). Off by default.
|
|
starting a new hashtable search no longer clobbers any other search
active anywhere in the system. Fix RelationCacheInvalidate() so that
it will not crash or go into an infinite loop if invoked recursively,
as for example by a second SI Reset message arriving while we are still
processing a prior one.

assume that TAS() will always succeed the first time, even if the lock
is known to be free. Also, make sure that code will eventually time out
and report a stuck spinlock, rather than looping forever. Small cleanups
in s_lock.h, too.

level" locks. A session lock is not released at transaction commit (but it
is released on transaction abort, to ensure recovery after an elog(ERROR)).
In VACUUM, use a session lock to protect the master table while vacuuming a
TOAST table, so that the TOAST table can be done in an independent
transaction.
I also took this opportunity to do some cleanup and renaming in the lock
code. The previously noted bug in ProcLockWakeup, that it couldn't wake up
any waiters beyond the first non-wakeable waiter, is now fixed. Also found
a previously unknown bug of the same kind (failure to scan all members of
a lock queue in some cases) in DeadLockCheck. This might have led to failure
to detect a deadlock condition, resulting in indefinite waits, but it's
difficult to characterize the conditions required to trigger a failure.

to ensure that we have released buffer refcounts and so forth, rather than
putting ad-hoc operations before (some of the calls to) proc_exit. Add
commentary to discourage future hackers from repeating that mistake.

fsync for performance, why should we say no?

IPC key assignment will now work correctly even when multiple postmasters
are using same logical port number (which is possible given -k switch).
There is only one shared-mem segment per postmaster now, not 3.
Rip out broken code for non-TAS case in bufmgr and xlog, substitute a
complete S_LOCK emulation using semaphores in spin.c. TAS and non-TAS
logic is now exactly the same.
When deadlock is detected, "Deadlock detected" is now the elog(ERROR)
message, rather than a NOTICE that comes out before an unhelpful ERROR.

re-adopt these settings at every postmaster or standalone-backend startup.
This should fix problems with indexes becoming corrupt due to failure to
provide consistent locale environment for postmaster at all times. Also,
refuse to start up a non-locale-enabled compilation in a database originally
initdb'd with a non-C locale. Suppress LIKE index optimization if locale
is not "C" or "POSIX" (are there any other locales where it's safe?).
Issue NOTICE during initdb if selected locale disables LIKE optimization.

maintained for each cache entry. A cache entry will not be freed until
the matching ReleaseSysCache call has been executed. This eliminates
worries about cache entries getting dropped while still in use. See
my posting to pg-hackers of even date for more info.

Context diff this time.
Remove -m486 compile args for FreeBSD-i386, compile -O2 on i386.
Compile with only -O on alpha for codegen safety.
Make the port use the TEST_AND_SET for alpha and i386 on FreeBSD.
Fix a lot of bogus string formats for outputting pointers (cast to int
and %u/%x replaced with no cast and %p), and 'Size'(size_t) are now
cast to 'unsigned long' and output with %lu/
Remove an unused variable.
