2023-07-05Fix leak of LLVM "fatal-on-oom" section counter.Heikki Linnakangas
llvm_release_context() called llvm_enter_fatal_on_oom(), but was missing the corresponding llvm_leave_fatal_on_oom() call. As a result, if JIT was used at all, we were almost always in the "fatal-on-oom" state. It only makes a difference if you use an extension written in C++, and run out of memory in a C++ 'new' call. In that case, you would get a PostgreSQL FATAL error, instead of the default behavior of throwing a C++ exception. Back-patch to all supported versions.

2021-09-13jit: Do not try to shut down LLVM state in case of LLVM triggered errors.Andres Freund
If an allocation failed within LLVM it is not safe to call back into LLVM as LLVM is not generally safe against exceptions / stack-unwinding. Thus errors while in LLVM code are promoted to FATAL. However llvm_shutdown() did call back into LLVM even in such cases, while llvm_release_context() was careful not to do so. We cannot generally skip shutting down LLVM, as that can break profiling. But it's OK to do so if there was an error from within LLVM.

clang only uses the 'i1' type for scalar booleans, not for pointers to booleans (as the pointer might be pointing into a larger memory allocation).

2020-10-15llvmjit: Also copy parameter / return value attributes from template functions.Andres Freund
Previously we only copied the function attributes. That caused problems at least on s390x: Because we didn't copy the 'zeroext' attribute for ExecAggTransReparent()'s *IsNull parameters, expressions invoking it didn't ensure that the upper bytes of the registers were zeroed. In the - relatively rare - cases where not, ExecAggTransReparent() wrongly ended up in the newValueIsNull branch due to the register not being zero. Subsequently causing a crash. It's quite possible that this would cause problems on other platforms, and in other places than just ExecAggTransReparent() on s390x. Thanks to Christoph (and the Debian project) for providing me with access to a s390x machine, allowing me to debug this.

2020-03-04Extend ExecBuildAggTrans() to support a NULL pointer check.Jeff Davis
Optionally push a step to check for a NULL pointer to the pergroup state. This will be important for disk-based hash aggregation in combination with grouping sets. When memory limits are reached, a given tuple may find its per-group state for some grouping sets but not others. For the former, it advances the per-group state as normal; for the latter, it skips evaluation and the calling code will have to spill the tuple and reprocess it in a later batch. Add the NULL check as a separate expression step because in some common cases it's not needed. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20200221202212.ssb2qpmdgrnx52sj%40alap3.anarazel.de
2020-03-04Introduce macros for typalign and typstorage constants.Tom Lane
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. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/16457.1583189537@sss.pgh.pa.us
2020-02-24expression eval: Reduce number of steps for agg transition invocations.Andres Freund
Do so by combining the various steps that are part of aggregate transition function invocation into one larger step. As some of the current steps are only necessary for some aggregates, have one variant of the aggregate transition step for each possible combination. To avoid further manual copies of code in the different transition step implementations, move most of the code into helper functions marked as "always inline". The benefit of this change is an increase in performance when aggregating lots of rows. This comes in part due to the reduced number of indirect jumps due to the reduced number of steps, and in part by reducing redundant setup code across steps. This mainly benefits interpreted execution, but the code generated by JIT is also improved a bit. As a nice side-effect it also ends up making the code a bit simpler. A small additional optimization is removing the need to set aggstate->curaggcontext before calling ExecAggInitGroup, choosing to instead passign curaggcontext as an argument. It was, in contrast to other aggregate related functions, only needed to fetch a memory context to copy the transition value into.

2019-12-18Refactor attribute mappings used in logical tuple conversionMichael Paquier
Tuple conversion support in tupconvert.c is able to convert rowtypes between two relations, inner and outer, which are logically equivalent but have a different ordering or even dropped columns (used mainly for inheritance tree and partitions). This makes use of attribute mappings, which are simple arrays made of AttrNumber elements with a length matching the number of attributes of the outer relation. The length of the attribute mapping has been treated as completely independent of the mapping itself until now, making it easy to pass down an incorrect mapping length. This commit refactors the code related to attribute mappings and moves it into an independent facility called attmap.c, extracted from tupconvert.c. This merges the attribute mapping with its length, avoiding to try to guess what is the length of a mapping to use as this is computed once, when the map is built. This will avoid mistakes like what has been fixed in dc816e58, which has used an incorrect mapping length by matching it with the number of attributes of an inner relation (a child partition) instead of an outer relation (a partitioned table).

2019-11-05Split all OBJS style lines in makefiles into one-line-per-entry style.Andres Freund
When maintaining or merging patches, one of the most common sources for conflicts are the list of objects in makefiles. Especially when the split across lines has been changed on both sides, which is somewhat common due to attempting to stay below 80 columns, those conflicts are unnecessarily laborious to resolve.

While discussing comment improvements (see next commit) by Justin Pryzby, Tom complained about a few details of the logic to infer the length of the NULL bitmap when building the JITed tuple deforming function. That bitmap allows to avoid checking the tuple header's natts, a check which often causes a pipeline stall Improvements: a) As long as missing columns aren't taken into account, we can continue to infer the length of the NULL bitmap from NOT NULL columns following it. Previously we stopped at the first missing column. It's unlikely to matter much in practice, but the alternative would have been to document why we stop. b) For robustness reasons it seems better to also check against attisdropped - RemoveAttributeById() sets attnotnull to false, but an additional check is trivial. c) Improve related comments Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20637.1555957068@sss.pgh.pa.us Backpatch: -

2019-01-29Refactor planner's header files.Tom Lane
Create a new header optimizer/optimizer.h, which exposes just the planner functions that can be used "at arm's length", without need to access Paths or the other planner-internal data structures defined in nodes/relation.h. This is intended to provide the whole planner API seen by most of the rest of the system; although FDWs still need to use additional stuff, and more thought is also needed about just what selfuncs.c should rely on. The main point of doing this now is to limit the amount of new #include baggage that will be needed by "planner support functions", which I expect to introduce later, and which will be in relevant datatype modules rather than anywhere near the planner. This commit just moves relevant declarations into optimizer.h from other header files (a couple of which go away because everything got moved), and adjusts #include lists to match. There's further cleanup that could be done if we want to decide that some stuff being exposed by optimizer.h doesn't belong in the planner at all, but I'll leave that for another day.

2019-01-26Change function call information to be variable length.Andres Freund
Before this change FunctionCallInfoData, the struct arguments etc for V1 function calls are stored in, always had space for FUNC_MAX_ARGS/100 arguments, storing datums and their nullness in two arrays. For nearly every function call 100 arguments is far more than needed, therefore wasting memory. Arg and argnull being two separate arrays also guarantees that to access a single argument, two cachelines have to be touched. Change the layout so there's a single variable-length array with pairs of value / isnull. That drastically reduces memory consumption for most function calls (on x86-64 a two argument function now uses 64bytes, previously 936 bytes), and makes it very likely that argument value and its nullness are on the same cacheline. Arguments are stored in a new NullableDatum struct, which, due to padding, needs more memory per argument than before. But as usually far fewer arguments are stored, and individual arguments are cheaper to access, that's still a clear win. It's likely that there's other places where conversion to NullableDatum arrays would make sense, e.g. TupleTableSlots, but that's for another commit. Because the function call information is now variable-length allocations have to take the number of arguments into account. For heap allocations that can be done with SizeForFunctionCallInfoData(), for on-stack allocations there's a new LOCAL_FCINFO(name, nargs) macro that helps to allocate an appropriately sized and aligned variable. Some places with stack allocation function call information don't know the number of arguments at compile time, and currently variably sized stack allocations aren't allowed in postgres. Therefore allow for FUNC_MAX_ARGS space in these cases. They're not that common, so for now that seems acceptable. Because of the need to allocate FunctionCallInfo of the appropriate size, older extensions may need to update their code. To avoid subtle breakages, the FunctionCallInfoData struct has been renamed to FunctionCallInfoBaseData. Most code only references FunctionCallInfo, so that shouldn't cause much collateral damage. This change is also a prerequisite for more efficient expression JIT compilation (by allocating the function call information on the stack, allowing LLVM to optimize it away); previously the size of the call information caused problems inside LLVM's optimizer.

2018-11-16Make TupleTableSlots extensible, finish split of existing slot type.Andres Freund
This commit completes the work prepared in 1a0586de36, splitting the old TupleTableSlot implementation (which could store buffer, heap, minimal and virtual slots) into four different slot types. As described in the aforementioned commit, this is done with the goal of making tuple table slots extensible, to allow for pluggable table access methods. To achieve runtime extensibility for TupleTableSlots, operations on slots that can differ between types of slots are performed using the TupleTableSlotOps struct provided at slot creation time. That includes information from the size of TupleTableSlot struct to be allocated, initialization, deforming etc. See the struct's definition for more detailed information about callbacks TupleTableSlotOps. I decided to rename TTSOpsBufferTuple to TTSOpsBufferHeapTuple and ExecCopySlotTuple to ExecCopySlotHeapTuple, as that seems more consistent with other naming introduced in recent patches. There's plenty optimization potential in the slot implementation, but according to benchmarking the state after this commit has similar performance characteristics to before this set of changes, which seems sufficient. There's a few changes in execReplication.c that currently need to poke through the slot abstraction, that'll be repaired once the pluggable storage patchset provides the necessary infrastructure.

2018-11-16Inline hot path of slot_getsomeattrs().Andres Freund
This yields a minor speedup, which roughly balances the loss from the upcoming introduction of callbacks to do some operations on slots. Author: Andres Freund Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20181105210039.hh4vvi4vwoq5ba2q@alap3.anarazel.de
2018-11-15Don't generate tuple deforming functions for virtual slots.Andres Freund
Virtual tuple table slots never need tuple deforming. Therefore, if we know at expression compilation time, that a certain slot will always be virtual, there's no need to create a tuple deforming routine for it.
