2011-04-13On IA64 architecture, we check the depth of the register stack in additionHeikki Linnakangas
to the regular stack. The code to do that is platform and compiler specific, add support for the HP-UX native compiler.
2011-01-27Don't include <asm/ia64regs.h> unnecessarily.Tom Lane
We only need that header when compiling with icc, since the gcc variant of ia64_get_bsp() uses in-line assembly code. Per report from Frank Brendel, the header doesn't exist on all IA64 platforms; so don't include it unless we need it.
2010-11-06Add support for detecting register-stack overrun on IA64.Tom Lane
Per recent investigation, the register stack can grow faster than the regular stack depending on compiler and choice of options. To avoid crashes we must check both stacks in check_stack_depth(). Back-patch to all supported versions.
2009-06-18Fix error in comment. Fujii MasaoHeikki Linnakangas
2009-01-01Fix an oversight in my patch of a couple weeks ago that ensured a snapshotTom Lane
is available during datatype input in Bind message processing. I put the PopActiveSnapshot() or equivalent just before PortalDefineQuery, which is an unsafe spot for it (in 8.3 and later) because we are carrying a plancache refcount that hasn't yet been assigned to the portal. Any error thrown there would result in leaking the refcount. It's not exactly likely that PopActiveSnapshot would throw an elog, perhaps, but it could happen. Reorder the code and add another comment warning not to do that.
2008-12-13Fix failure to ensure that a snapshot is available to datatype input functionsTom Lane
when they are invoked by the parser. We had been setting up a snapshot at plan time but really it needs to be done earlier, before parse analysis. Per report from Dmitry Koterov. Also fix two related problems discovered while poking at this one: exec_bind_message called datatype input functions without establishing a snapshot, and SET CONSTRAINTS IMMEDIATE could call trigger functions without establishing a snapshot. Backpatch to 8.2. The underlying problem goes much further back, but it is masked in 8.1 and before because we didn't attempt to invoke domain check constraints within datatype input. It would only be exposed if a C-language datatype input function used the snapshot; which evidently none do, or we'd have heard complaints sooner. Since this code has changed a lot over time, a back-patch is hardly risk-free, and so I'm disinclined to patch further than absolutely necessary.
2008-04-02Revert my bad decision of about a year ago to make PortalDefineQueryTom Lane
responsible for copying the query string into the new Portal. Such copying is unnecessary in the common code path through exec_simple_query, and in this case it can be enormously expensive because the string might contain a large number of individual commands; we were copying the entire, long string for each command, resulting in O(N^2) behavior for N commands. (This is the cause of bug #4079.) A second problem with it is that PortalDefineQuery really can't risk error, because if it elog's before having set up the Portal, we will leak the plancache refcount that the caller is trying to hand off to the portal. So go back to the design in which the caller is responsible for making sure everything is copied into the portal if necessary.
2008-03-12Fix pg_plan_queries() to restore the previous setting of ActiveSnapshotTom Lane
(probably NULL) before exiting. Up to now it's just left the variable as it set it, which means that after we're done processing the current client message, ActiveSnapshot is probably pointing at garbage (because this function is typically run in MessageContext which will get reset). There doesn't seem to have been any code path in which that mattered before 8.3, but now the plancache module might try to use the stale value if the next client message is a Bind for a prepared statement that is in need of replanning. Per report from Alex Hunsaker.
2008-01-26Change StatementCancelHandler() to check the DoingCommandRead flag to decideTom Lane
whether to execute an immediate interrupt, rather than testing whether LockWaitCancel() cancelled a lock wait. The old way misclassified the case where we were blocked in ProcWaitForSignal(), and arguably would misclassify any other future additions of new ImmediateInterruptOK states too. This allows reverting the old kluge that gave LockWaitCancel() a return value, since no callers care anymore. Improve comments in the various implementations of PGSemaphoreLock() to explain that on some platforms, the assumption that semop() exits after a signal is wrong, and so we must ensure that the signal handler itself throws elog if we want cancel or die interrupts to be effective. Per testing related to bug #3883, though this patch doesn't solve those problems fully. Perhaps this change should be back-patched, but since pre-8.3 branches aren't really relying on autovacuum to respond to SIGINT, it doesn't seem critical for them.
2008-01-01Update copyrights in source tree to 2008.Bruce Momjian
2007-12-28Improve consistency of error reporting in GUC assign_hook routines. SomeTom Lane
were reporting ERROR for interactive assignments and LOG for other cases, some were saying nothing for non-interactive cases, and a few did yet other things. Make them use a new function GUC_complaint_elevel() to establish a reasonably uniform policy about how to report. There are still a few edge cases such as assign_search_path(), but it's much better than before. Per gripe from Devrim Gunduz and subsequent discussion. As noted by Alvaro, it'd be better to fold these custom messages into the standard "invalid parameter value" complaint from guc.c, perhaps as the DETAIL field. However that will require more redesign than seems prudent for 8.3. This is a relatively safe, low-impact change that we can afford to risk now.
2007-12-06Change wording of logged message when cancelling an autovacuum task, usingAlvaro Herrera
american speling (unlike this commit message). Per complaint from Mike C. on bug #3790 and subsequent discussion.
2007-11-15pgindent run for 8.3.Bruce Momjian
2007-08-02Move session_start out of MyProcPort stucture and make it a global called ↵Andrew Dunstan
MyStartTime, so that we will be able to create a cookie for all processes for CSVlogs. It is set wherever MyProcPid is set. Take the opportunity to remove the now unnecessary session-only restriction on the %s and %c escapes in log_line_prefix.
2007-07-09Fix single-user mode so that interrupts (particularly SIGTERM andTom Lane
SIGQUIT) will be recognized and processed while waiting for input, rather than only after something has been typed. Also make SIGQUIT do the same thing as SIGTERM in single-user mode, ie, do a normal shutdown and exit. Since it's relatively easy to provoke SIGQUIT from the keyboard, people may try that instead of control-D, and we'd rather this leads to orderly shutdown. Per report from Leon Mergen and subsequent discussion.
2007-06-29Arrange for SIGINT in autovacuum workers to cancel the current table andAlvaro Herrera
continue with the schedule. Change current uses of SIGINT to abort a worker into SIGTERM, which keeps the old behaviour of terminating the process. Patch from ITAGAKI Takahiro, with some editorializing of my own.
2007-06-23Separate parse-analysis for utility commands out of parser/analyze.cTom Lane
(which now deals only in optimizable statements), and put that code into a new file parser/parse_utilcmd.c. This helps clarify and enforce the design rule that utility statements shouldn't be processed during the regular parse analysis phase; all interpretation of their meaning should happen after they are given to ProcessUtility to execute. (We need this because we don't retain any locks for a utility statement that's in a plan cache, nor have any way to detect that it's stale.) We are also able to simplify the API for parse_analyze() and related routines, because they will now always return exactly one Query structure. In passing, fix bug #3403 concerning trying to add a serial column to an existing temp table (this is largely Heikki's work, but we needed all that restructuring to make it safe).
2007-04-30Fix oversight in my patch of yesterday: forgot to ensure that stats wouldTom Lane
still be forced out at backend exit.
2007-04-16Make plancache store cursor options so it can pass them to planner duringTom Lane
a replan. I had originally thought this was not necessary, but the new SPI facilities create a path whereby queries planned with non-default options can get into the cache, so it is necessary.
2007-04-16Expose more cursor-related functionality in SPI: specifically, allowTom Lane
access to the planner's cursor-related planning options, and provide new FETCH/MOVE routines that allow access to the full power of those commands. Small refactoring of planner(), pg_plan_query(), and pg_plan_queries() APIs to make it convenient to pass the planning options down from SPI. This is the core-code portion of Pavel Stehule's patch for scrollable cursor support in plpgsql; I'll review and apply the plpgsql changes separately.
2007-03-29exec_parse_message neglected to copy parameter type array into theTom Lane
required memory context when handling client-specified parameter types for an unnamed statement. Per report from Kris Jurka.
2007-03-22Arrange for PreventTransactionChain to reject commands submitted as partTom Lane
of a multi-statement simple-Query message. This bug goes all the way back, but unfortunately is not nearly so easy to fix in existing releases; it is only the recent ProcessUtility API change that makes it fixable in HEAD. Per report from William Garrison.
2007-03-13First phase of plan-invalidation project: create a plan cache managementTom Lane
module and teach PREPARE and protocol-level prepared statements to use it. In service of this, rearrange utility-statement processing so that parse analysis does not assume table schemas can't change before execution for utility statements (necessary because we don't attempt to re-acquire locks for utility statements when reusing a stored plan). This requires some refactoring of the ProcessUtility API, but it ends up cleaner anyway, for instance we can get rid of the QueryContext global. Still to do: fix up SPI and related code to use the plan cache; I'm tempted to try to make SQL functions use it too. Also, there are at least some aspects of system state that we want to ensure remain the same during a replan as in the original processing; search_path certainly ought to behave that way for instance, and perhaps there are others.
2007-03-03Add resetStringInfo(), which clears the content of a StringInfo, andNeil Conway
fixup various places in the tree that were clearing a StringInfo by hand. Making this function a part of the API simplifies client code slightly, and avoids needlessly peeking inside the StringInfo interface.
2007-03-02Make log_min_error_statement put LOG level at the same priority asTom Lane
log_min_messages does; and arrange to suppress the duplicative output that would otherwise result from log_statement and log_duration messages. Bruce Momjian and Tom Lane.
2007-02-20Remove the Query structure from the executor's API. This allows us to stopTom Lane
storing mostly-redundant Query trees in prepared statements, portals, etc. To replace Query, a new node type called PlannedStmt is inserted by the planner at the top of a completed plan tree; this carries just the fields of Query that are still needed at runtime. The statement lists kept in portals etc. now consist of intermixed PlannedStmt and bare utility-statement nodes --- no Query. This incidentally allows us to remove some fields from Query and Plan nodes that shouldn't have been there in the first place. Still to do: simplify the execution-time range table; at the moment the range table passed to the executor still contains Query trees for subqueries. initdb forced due to change of stored rules.
2007-02-17Add code so that when COPY_PARSE_PLAN_TREES is defined, the copy andTom Lane
equal functions are checked for raw parse trees as well as post-analysis trees. This was never very important before, but the upcoming plan cache control module will need to be able to do copyObject() on raw parse trees.
2007-02-15Restructure autovacuum in two processes: a dummy process, which runsAlvaro Herrera
continuously, and requests vacuum runs of "autovacuum workers" to postmaster. The workers do the actual vacuum work. This allows for future improvements, like allowing multiple autovacuum jobs running in parallel. For now, the code keeps the original behavior of having a single autovac process at any time by sleeping until the previous worker has finished.
2007-02-10StrNCpy -> strlcpy (not complete)Peter Eisentraut
2007-01-05Update CVS HEAD for 2007 copyright. Back branches are typically notBruce Momjian
back-stamped for this.
2007-01-04Fix erroneous implementation of -s in postmaster.c (the switch doesn't takeTom Lane
an optarg). Add some comments noting that code in three different files has to be kept in sync. Fix erroneous description of -S switch (it sets work_mem not silent_mode), and do some light copy-editing elsewhere in postgres-ref.
2006-12-08Fix the build for when SHOW_MEMORY_STATS is defined. The reference toNeil Conway
the nonexistent ShowStats variable is simply removed, per Gavin Sherry.
2006-11-21On systems that have setsid(2) (which should be just about everything exceptTom Lane
Windows), arrange for each postmaster child process to be its own process group leader, and deliver signals SIGINT, SIGTERM, SIGQUIT to the whole process group not only the direct child process. This provides saner behavior for archive and recovery scripts; in particular, it's possible to shut down a warm-standby recovery server using "pg_ctl stop -m immediate", since delivery of SIGQUIT to the startup subprocess will result in killing the waiting recovery_command. Also, this makes Query Cancel and statement_timeout apply to scripts being run from backends via system(). (There is no support in the core backend for that, but it's widely done using untrusted PLs.) Per gripe from Stephen Harris and subsequent discussion.
2006-11-21Adjust elog.c so that elog(FATAL) exits (including cases where ERROR isTom Lane
promoted to FATAL) end in exit(1) not exit(0). Then change the postmaster to allow exit(1) without a system-wide panic, but not for the startup subprocess or the bgwriter. There were a couple of places that were using exit(1) to deliberately force a system-wide panic; adjust these to be exit(2) instead. This fixes the problem noted back in July that if the startup process exits with elog(ERROR), the postmaster would think everything is hunky-dory and proceed to start up. Alternative solutions such as trying to run the entire startup process as a critical section seem less clean, primarily because of the fact that a fair amount of startup code is shared by all postmaster children in the EXEC_BACKEND case. We'd need an ugly special case somewhere near the head of main.c to make it work if it's the child process's responsibility to determine what happens; and what's the point when the postmaster already treats different children differently?
2006-10-19Make sure that debug_query_string contains the original query text,Tom Lane
if available (which it usually should be), during processing of Bind and Execute protocol messages. This improves usefulness of log_min_error_statement logging for extended query protocol.
2006-10-08Add include needed for new getrusage() call.Bruce Momjian
2006-10-08On Windows, we know the backend stack size limit because we have toTom Lane
specify it explicitly in backend/Makefile. Arrange for this value to be known by get_stack_depth_rlimit() too. Per suggestion from Magnus.
2006-10-07When planning a query at Bind time, be careful to pass the correctTom Lane
query_list into the Portal, ie, the one seen and possibly modified by the planner. My fault :-( Per report from Sergey Koposov.
2006-10-07On platforms that have getrlimit(RLIMIT_STACK), use it to ensure thatTom Lane
max_stack_depth is not set to an unsafe value. This commit also provides configure-time checking for <sys/resource.h>, and cleans up some perhaps-unportable code associated with use of that include file and getrlimit().
2006-10-07Adjust HINT for stack depth limit to mention checking the underlyingTom Lane
platform limit, rather than just blindly raising max_stack_depth. Also, tweak the code to work properly if someone sets max_stack_depth to more than 2Gb, which guc.c will allow on a 64-bit machine.

2006-09-13Make logging of extended-protocol commands a bit more consistent, perTom Lane
discussion with Guillaume Smet.
2006-09-08Tweak the behavior of log_duration as proposed by Guillaume Smet: ratherTom Lane
than being equivalent to setting log_min_duration_statement to zero, this option now forces logging of all query durations, but doesn't force logging of query text. Also, add duration logging coverage for fastpath function calls.
2006-09-07Clean up logging for extended-query-protocol operations, as per my recentTom Lane
proposal. Parameter logging works even for binary-format parameters, and logging overhead is avoided when disabled. log_statement = all output for the src/test/examples/testlibpq3.c example now looks like LOG: statement: execute <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE t = $1 DETAIL: parameters: $1 = 'joe''s place' LOG: statement: execute <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE i = $1::int4 DETAIL: parameters: $1 = '2' and log_min_duration_statement = 0 results in LOG: duration: 2.431 ms parse <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE t = $1 LOG: duration: 2.335 ms bind <unnamed> to <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE t = $1 DETAIL: parameters: $1 = 'joe''s place' LOG: duration: 0.394 ms execute <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE t = $1 DETAIL: parameters: $1 = 'joe''s place' LOG: duration: 1.251 ms parse <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE i = $1::int4 LOG: duration: 0.566 ms bind <unnamed> to <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE i = $1::int4 DETAIL: parameters: $1 = '2' LOG: duration: 0.173 ms execute <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE i = $1::int4 DETAIL: parameters: $1 = '2' (This example demonstrates the folly of ignoring parse/bind steps for duration logging purposes, BTW.) Along the way, create a less ad-hoc mechanism for determining which commands are logged by log_statement = mod and log_statement = ddl. The former coding was actually missing quite a few things that look like ddl to me, and it did not handle EXECUTE or extended query protocol correctly at all. This commit does not do anything about the question of whether log_duration should be removed or made less redundant with log_min_duration_statement.
2006-09-06Change processing of extended-Query mode so that an unnamed statementTom Lane
that has parameters is always planned afresh for each Bind command, treating the parameter values as constants in the planner. This removes the performance penalty formerly often paid for using out-of-line parameters --- with this definition, the planner can do constant folding, LIKE optimization, etc. After a suggestion by Andrew@supernews.
