The planner previously assumed that parameter Vars having the same absolute
query level, varno, and varattno could safely be assigned the same runtime
PARAM_EXEC slot, even though they might be different Vars appearing in
different subqueries. This was (probably) safe before the introduction of
CTEs, but the lazy-evalution mechanism used for CTEs means that a CTE can
be executed during execution of some other subquery, causing the lifespan
of Params at the same syntactic nesting level as the CTE to overlap with
use of the same slots inside the CTE. In 9.1 we created additional hazards
by using the same parameter-assignment technology for nestloop inner scan
parameters, but it was broken before that, as illustrated by the added
regression test.
To fix, restructure the planner's management of PlannerParamItems so that
items having different semantic lifespans are kept rigorously separated.
This will probably result in complex queries using more runtime PARAM_EXEC
slots than before, but the slots are cheap enough that this hardly matters.
Also, stop generating PlannerParamItems containing Params for subquery
outputs: all we really need to do is reserve the PARAM_EXEC slot number,
and that now only takes incrementing a counter. The planning code is
simpler and probably faster than before, as well as being more correct.
Per report from Vik Reykja.
These changes will mostly also need to be made in the back branches, but
I'm going to hold off on that until after 9.2.0 wraps.

The cascading replication code assumed that the current RecoveryTargetTLI
never changes, but that's not true with recovery_target_timeline='latest'.
The obvious upshot of that is that RecoveryTargetTLI in shared memory needs
to be protected by a lock. A less obvious consequence is that when a
cascading standby is connected, and the standby switches to a new target
timeline after scanning the archive, it will continue to stream WAL to the
cascading standby, but from a wrong file, ie. the file of the previous
timeline. For example, if the standby is currently streaming from the middle
of file 000000010000000000000005, and the timeline changes, the standby
will continue to stream from that file. However, the WAL on the new
timeline is in file 000000020000000000000005, so the standby sends garbage
from 000000010000000000000005 to the cascading standby, instead of the
correct WAL from file 000000020000000000000005.
This also fixes a related bug where a partial WAL segment is restored from
the archive and streamed to a cascading standby. The code assumed that when
a WAL segment is copied from the archive, it can immediately be fully
streamed to a cascading standby. However, if the segment is only partially
filled, ie. has the right size, but only N first bytes contain valid WAL,
that's not safe. That can happen if a partial WAL segment is manually copied
to the archive, or if a partial WAL segment is archived because a server is
started up on a new timeline within that segment. The cascading standby will
get confused if the WAL it received is not valid, and will get stuck until
it's restarted. This patch fixes that problem by not allowing WAL restored
from the archive to be streamed to a cascading standby until it's been
replayed, and thus validated.

Serializable Snapshot Isolation used for serializable transactions
depends on acquiring SIRead locks on all heap relation tuples which
are used to generate the query result, so that a later delete or
update of any of the tuples can flag a read-write conflict between
transactions. This is normally handled in heapam.c, with tuple level
locking. Since an index-only scan avoids heap access in many cases,
building the result from the index tuple, the necessary predicate
locks were not being acquired for all tuples in an index-only scan.
To prevent problems with tuple IDs which are vacuumed and re-used
while the transaction still matters, the xmin of the tuple is part of
the tag for the tuple lock. Since xmin is not available to the
index-only scan for result rows generated from the index tuples, it
is not possible to acquire a tuple-level predicate lock in such
cases, in spite of having the tid. If we went to the heap to get the
xmin value, it would no longer be an index-only scan. Rather than
prohibit index-only scans under serializable transaction isolation,
we acquire an SIRead lock on the page containing the tuple, when it
was not necessary to visit the heap for other reasons.
Backpatch to 9.2.

This gets rid of a dangerous-looking use of the not-volatile XLogCtl
pointer in a couple of spinlock-protected sections, where the normal
coding rule is that you should only access shared memory through a
pointer-to-volatile. I think the risk is only hypothetical not actual,
since for there to be a bug the compiler would have to move the spinlock
acquire or release across the memcpy() call, which one sincerely hopes
it will not. Still, it looks cleaner this way.
Per comment from Daniel Farina and subsequent discussion.

We can detect whether the planner top level is going to care at all about
cheap startup cost (it will only do so if query_planner's tuple_fraction
argument is greater than zero). If it isn't, we might as well discard
paths immediately whose only advantage over others is cheap startup cost.
This turns out to get rid of quite a lot of paths in complex queries ---
I saw planner runtime reduction of more than a third on one large query.
Since add_path isn't currently passed the PlannerInfo "root", the easiest
way to tell it whether to do this was to add a bool flag to RelOptInfo.
That's a bit redundant, since all relations in a given query level will
have the same setting. But in the future it's possible that we'd refine
the control decision to work on a per-relation basis, so this seems like
a good arrangement anyway.
Per my suggestion of a few months ago.

If a PlaceHolderVar contains a pulled-up LATERAL reference, its minimum
possible evaluation level might be higher in the join tree than its
original syntactic location. That in turn affects the ph_needed level for
any contained PlaceHolderVars (that is, those PHVs had better propagate up
the join tree at least to the evaluation level of the outer PHV). We got
this mostly right, but mark_placeholder_maybe_needed() failed to account
for the effect, and in consequence could leave the inner PHVs with
ph_may_need less than what their ultimate ph_needed value will be. That's
bad because it could lead to failure to select a join order that will allow
evaluation of the inner PHV at a valid location. Fix that, and add an
Assert that checks that we don't ever set ph_needed to more than
ph_may_need.

The LATERAL implementation is now basically complete, and I still don't
see a cost-effective way to make an exact qual scope cross-check in the
presence of LATERAL. However, I did add a PlannerInfo.hasLateralRTEs flag
along the way, so it's easy to make the check only when not hasLateralRTEs.
That seems to still be useful, and it beats having no check at all.
|

I had thought this case worked already, but perhaps I didn't re-test it
after adding extract_lateral_references() ...

We previously supposed that any given platform would supply both or neither
of these functions, so that one configure test would be sufficient. It now
appears that at least on AIX this is not the case ... which is likely an
AIX bug, but nonetheless we need to cope with it. So use separate tests.
Per bug #6758; thanks to Andrew Hastie for doing the followup testing
needed to confirm what was happening.
Backpatch to 9.1, where we began using these functions.

This is mostly cosmetic, but it does eliminate a speculative portability
issue. The previous coding ignored the fact that sum_grow could easily
overflow (in fact, it could be summing multiple IEEE float infinities).
On a platform where that didn't guarantee to produce a positive result,
the code would misbehave. In any case, it was less than readable.

This reduces unnecessary exposure of other headers through htup.h, which
is very widely included by many files.
I have chosen to move the function prototypes to the new file as well,
because that means htup.h no longer needs to include tupdesc.h. In
itself this doesn't have much effect in indirect inclusion of tupdesc.h
throughout the tree, because it's also required by execnodes.h; but it's
something to explore in the future, and it seemed best to do the htup.h
change now while I'm busy with it.

Given a query such as
SELECT * FROM foo JOIN LATERAL (SELECT foo.var1) ss(x) ON ss.x = foo.var2
the existence of the join clause "ss.x = foo.var2" encourages indxpath.c to
build a parameterized path for foo using any index available for foo.var2.
This is completely useless activity, though, since foo has got to be on the
outside not the inside of any nestloop join with ss. It's reasonably
inexpensive to add tests that prevent creation of such paths, so let's do
that.

Every time the best-tuple-found-so-far changes, we need to reset all
the penalty values in which_grow[] to the penalties for the new best
tuple. The old code failed to do this, resulting in inferior index
quality.
The original patch from Alexander Korotkov was just two lines; I took
the liberty of fleshing that out by adding a bunch of comments that I
hope will make this logic easier for others to understand than it was
for me.

push_child_plan/pop_child_plan didn't bother to adjust the "ancestors"
list of parent plan nodes when descending to a child plan node. I think
this was okay when it was written, but it's not okay in the presence of
LATERAL references, since a subplan node could easily be returning a
LATERAL value back up to the same nestloop node that provides the value.
Per changed regression test results, the omission led to failure to
interpret Param nodes that have perfectly good interpretations.

In the initial cut at LATERAL, I kept the rule that cheapest_total_path
was always unparameterized, which meant it had to be NULL if the relation
has no unparameterized paths. It turns out to work much more nicely if
we always have *some* path nominated as cheapest-total for each relation.
In particular, let's still say it's the cheapest unparameterized path if
there is one; if not, take the cheapest-total-cost path among those of
the minimum available parameterization. (The first rule is actually
a special case of the second.)
This allows reversion of some temporary lobotomizations I'd put in place.
In particular, the planner can now consider hash and merge joins for
joins below a parameter-supplying nestloop, even if there aren't any
unparameterized paths available. This should bring planning of
LATERAL-containing queries to the same level as queries not using that
feature.
Along the way, simplify management of parameterized paths in add_path()
and friends. In the original coding for parameterized paths in 9.2,
I tried to minimize the logic changes in add_path(), so it just treated
parameterization as yet another dimension of comparison for paths.
We later made it ignore pathkeys (sort ordering) of parameterized paths,
on the grounds that ordering isn't a useful property for the path on the
inside of a nestloop, so we might as well get rid of useless parameterized
paths as quickly as possible. But we didn't take that reasoning as far as
we should have. Startup cost isn't a useful property inside a nestloop
either, so add_path() ought to discount startup cost of parameterized paths
as well. Having done that, the secondary sorting I'd implemented (in
add_parameterized_path) is no longer needed --- any parameterized path that
survives add_path() at all is worth considering at higher levels. So this
should be a bit faster as well as simpler.

This includes two micro-optimizations to the tight inner loop in descending
the SP-GiST tree: 1. avoid an extra function call to index_getprocinfo when
calling user-defined choose function, and 2. avoid a useless palloc+pfree
when node labels are not used.

The heapam XLog functions are used by other modules, not all of which
are interested in the rest of the heapam API. With this, we let them
get just the XLog stuff in which they are interested and not pollute
them with unrelated includes.
Also, since heapam.h no longer requires xlog.h, many files that do
include heapam.h no longer get xlog.h automatically, including a few
headers. This is useful because heapam.h is getting pulled in by
execnodes.h, which is in turn included by a lot of files.
|
|
Instead, place a forward struct declaration for struct catclist in
syscache.h. This reduces header proliferation somewhat.
|
|
This lets files that are mere users of ResourceOwner not automatically
include the headers for stuff that is managed by the resowner mechanism.

This threw ERROR, not the expected NOTICE, if the index didn't exist.
The bug was actually visible in not-as-expected regression test output,
so somebody wasn't paying too close attention in commit
8cb53654dbdb4c386369eb988062d0bbb6de725e.

This enables selectivity estimation of the <<, >>, &<, &> and && operators,
as well as the normal inequality operators: <, <=, >=, >. "range @> element"
is also supported, but the range-variant @> and <@ operators are not,
because they cannot be sensibly estimated with lower and upper bound
histograms alone. We would need to make some assumption about the lengths of
the ranges for that. Alexander's patch included a separate histogram of
lengths for that, but I left that out of the patch for simplicity. Hopefully
that will be added as a followup patch.
The fraction of empty ranges is also calculated and used in estimation.

This patch takes care of a number of problems having to do with failure
to choose valid join orders and incorrect handling of lateral references
pulled up from subqueries. Notable changes:
* Add a LateralJoinInfo data structure similar to SpecialJoinInfo, to
represent join ordering constraints created by lateral references.
(I first considered extending the SpecialJoinInfo structure, but the
semantics are different enough that a separate data structure seems
better.) Extend join_is_legal() and related functions to prevent trying
to form unworkable joins, and to ensure that we will consider joins that
satisfy lateral references even if the joins would be clauseless.
* Fill in the infrastructure needed for the last few types of relation scan
paths to support parameterization. We'd have wanted this eventually
anyway, but it is necessary now because a relation that gets pulled up out
of a UNION ALL subquery may acquire a reltargetlist containing lateral
references, meaning that its paths *have* to be parameterized whether or
not we have any code that can push join quals down into the scan.
* Compute data about lateral references early in query_planner(), and save
in RelOptInfo nodes, to avoid repetitive calculations later.
* Assorted corner-case bug fixes.
There's probably still some bugs left, but this is a lot closer to being
real than it was before.

The GUC check hooks for transaction_read_only and transaction_isolation
tried to check RecoveryInProgress(), so as to disallow setting read/write
mode or serializable isolation level (respectively) in hot standby
sessions. However, GUC check hooks can be called in many situations where
we're not connected to shared memory at all, resulting in a crash in
RecoveryInProgress(). Among other cases, this results in EXEC_BACKEND
builds crashing during child process start if default_transaction_isolation
is serializable, as reported by Heikki Linnakangas. Protect those calls
by silently allowing any setting when not inside a transaction; which is
okay anyway since these GUCs are always reset at start of transaction.
Also, add a check to GetSerializableTransactionSnapshot() to complain
if we are in hot standby. We need that check despite the one in
check_XactIsoLevel() because default_transaction_isolation could be
serializable. We don't want to complain any sooner than this in such
cases, since that would prevent running transactions at all in such a
state; but a transaction can be run, if SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION is done
before setting a snapshot. Per report some months ago from Robert Haas.
Back-patch to 9.1, since these problems were introduced by the SSI patch.

If we revoke a grant option from some role X, but X still holds the option
via another grant, we should not recursively revoke the privilege from
role(s) Y that X had granted it to. This was supposedly fixed as one
aspect of commit 4b2dafcc0b1a579ef5daaa2728223006d1ff98e9, but I must not
have tested it, because in fact that code never worked: it forgot to shift
the grant-option bits back over when masking the bits being revoked.
Per bug #6728 from Daniel German. Back-patch to all active branches,
since this has been wrong since 8.0.

This improves on commit 51fed14d73ed3acd2282b531fb1396877e44e86a by
eliminating the assumption that we can form <some pointer value> +
<some offset> without overflow. The entire point of those tests is that
we don't trust the offset value, so coding them in a way that could wrap
around if the buffer happens to be near the top of memory doesn't seem
sound. Instead, track the remaining space as a size_t variable and
compare offsets against that.
Also, improve comment about why we need the extra early check on
xl_tot_len.

Move discussion of why our algorithm for taking snapshots in recovery
to a more appropriate location in the function, and delete incorrect
mention of taking a lock.
|
|
|
|
If a WAL record header was split across pages, but xl_tot_len was 0, we
would get confused and conclude that we had already read the whole record,
and proceed to CRC check it. That can lead to a crash in RecordIsValid(),
which isn't careful to not read beyond end-of-record, as defined by
xl_tot_len.
Add an explicit sanity check for xl_tot_len <= SizeOfXlogRecord. Also,
make RecordIsValid() more robust by checking in each step that it doesn't
try to access memory beyond end of record, even if a length field in the
record's or a backup block's header is bogus.

Now that we have LATERAL, it's fairly painless to allow this case, which
was left as a TODO in the original multi-row VALUES implementation.

It said "XXX: The following could be improved if we had LATERAL" ...

No catversion bump since either version of the view works fine.

Formerly, subquery pullup had no need to examine other entries in the range
table, since they could not contain any references to the subquery being
pulled up. That's no longer true with LATERAL, so now we need to be able
to visit rangetable subexpressions to replace Vars referencing the
pulled-up subquery. Also, this means that extract_lateral_references must
be unsurprised at encountering lateral PlaceHolderVars, since such might be
created when pulling up a subquery that's underneath an outer join with
respect to the lateral reference.

We had put a test for libxml2's xmlStructuredErrorContext variable in
configure, but of course that doesn't work on Windows builds. The next

In the initial cut at the "parameterized paths" feature, I'd simplified
create_index_paths() to the point where it would only generate a single
parameterized bitmap path per relation. Experimentation with an example
supplied by Josh Berkus convinces me that that's not good enough: we really
need to consider a bitmap path for each possible outer relation. Otherwise
we have regressions relative to pre-9.2 versions, in which the planner
picks a plain indexscan where it should have used a bitmap scan in queries
involving three or more tables. Indeed, after fixing this, several queries
in the regression tests show improved plans as a result of using bitmap not
plain indexscans.

The implementation is a quad-tree, largely copied from the quad-tree
implementation for points. The lower and upper bound of ranges are the 2d
coordinates, with some extra code to handle empty ranges.
I left out the support for adjacent operator, -|-, from the original patch.
Not because there was necessarily anything wrong with it, but it was more
complicated than the other operators, and I only have limited time for
reviewing. That will follow as a separate patch.

We use a hash table to track the parents of inner pages, but when inserting
to a leaf page, the caller of gistbufferinginserttuples() must pass a
correct block number of the leaf's parent page. Before gistProcessItup()
descends to a child page, it checks if the downlink needs to be adjusted to
accommodate the new tuple, and updates the downlink if necessary. However,
updating the downlink might require splitting the page, which might move the
downlink to a page to the right. gistProcessItup() doesn't realize that, so
when it descends to the leaf page, it might pass an out-of-date parent block
number as a result. Fix that by returning the block a tuple was inserted to
from gistbufferinginserttuples().
This fixes the bug reported by Zdeněk Jílovec.
