The postmaster now checks every minute or so (worst case, at most two
minutes) that postmaster.pid is still there and still contains its own PID.
If not, it performs an immediate shutdown, as though it had received
SIGQUIT.
The original goal behind this change was to ensure that failed buildfarm
runs would get fully cleaned up, even if the test scripts had left a
postmaster running, which is not an infrequent occurrence. When the
buildfarm script removes a test postmaster's $PGDATA directory, its next
check on postmaster.pid will fail and cause it to exit. Previously, manual
intervention was often needed to get rid of such orphaned postmasters,
since they'd block new test postmasters from obtaining the expected socket
address.
However, by checking postmaster.pid and not something else, we can provide
additional robustness: manual removal of postmaster.pid is a frequent DBA
mistake, and now we can at least limit the damage that will ensue if a new
postmaster is started while the old one is still alive.
Back-patch to all supported branches, since we won't get the desired
improvement in buildfarm reliability otherwise.

To allow users to force RLS to always be applied, even for table owners,
add ALTER TABLE .. FORCE ROW LEVEL SECURITY.
row_security=off overrides FORCE ROW LEVEL SECURITY, to ensure pg_dump
output is complete (by default).
Also add SECURITY_NOFORCE_RLS context to avoid data corruption when
ALTER TABLE .. FORCE ROW SECURITY is being used. The
SECURITY_NOFORCE_RLS security context is used only during referential
integrity checks and is only considered in check_enable_rls() after we
have already checked that the current user is the owner of the relation
(which should always be the case during referential integrity checks).

Limit the size of the hashtable pointer array to not more than
MaxAllocSize, per reports from Kouhei Kaigai and others of "invalid memory
alloc request size" failures. There was discussion of allowing the array
to get larger than that by using the "huge" palloc API, but so far no proof
that that is actually a good idea, and at this point in the 9.5 cycle major
changes from old behavior don't seem like the way to go.
Fix a rather serious secondary bug in the new code, which was that it

Specifically, make its effect independent from the row_security GUC, and
make it affect permission checks pertinent to views the BYPASSRLS role

9.5, where BYPASSRLS was introduced.

Some of the functions in regex compilation and execution recurse, and
therefore could in principle be driven to stack overflow. The Tcl crew
has seen this happen in practice in duptraverse(), though their fix was
to put in a hard-wired limit on the number of recursive levels, which is
not too appetizing --- fortunately, we have enough infrastructure to check
the actually available stack. Greg Stark has also seen it in other places
while fuzz testing on a machine with limited stack space. Let's put guards
in to prevent crashes in all these places.
Since the regex code would leak memory if we simply threw elog(ERROR),
we have to introduce an API that checks for stack depth without throwing
such an error. Fortunately that's not difficult.

Module initialization was still not completely correct after commit
6b61955135e9, per crash report from Takashi Ohnishi. To fix, instead of
trying to monkey around with the value of the GUC setting directly, add
a separate boolean flag that enables the feature on a standby, but only
for the startup (recovery) process, when it sees that its master server
has the feature enabled.

Also change the deactivation routine to delete all segment files rather
than leaving the last one around. (This doesn't need separate
WAL-logging, because on recovery we execute the same deactivation
routine anyway.)
In passing, clean up the code structure somewhat, particularly so that
xlog.c doesn't know so much about when to activate/deactivate the

A Gather executor node runs any number of copies of a plan in an equal
number of workers and merges all of the results into a single tuple
stream. It can also run the plan itself, if the workers are
unavailable or haven't started up yet. It is intended to work with
the Partial Seq Scan node which will be added in future commits.
It could also be used to implement parallel query of a different sort
by itself, without help from Partial Seq Scan, if the single_copy mode
is used. In that mode, a worker executes the plan, and the parallel
leader does not, merely collecting the worker's results. So, a Gather
node could be inserted into a plan to split the execution of that plan
across two processes. Nested Gather nodes aren't currently supported,
but we might want to add support for that in the future.
There's nothing in the planner to actually generate Gather nodes yet,
so it's not quite time to break out the champagne. But we're getting
close.

There are three main changes here:
1. No longer cause a start failure in a standby if the feature is
disabled in postgresql.conf but enabled in the master. This reverts one
part of commit 4f3924d9cd43; what we keep is the ability of the standby
to activate/deactivate the module (which includes creating and removing
segments as appropriate) during replay of such actions in the master.
2. Replay WAL records affecting commitTS even if the feature is
disabled. This means the standby will always have the same state as the
master after replay.
3. Have COMMIT PREPARE record the transaction commit time as well. We
were previously only applying it in the normal transaction commit path.

This code provides infrastructure for a parallel leader to start up
parallel workers to execute subtrees of the plan tree being executed
in the master. User-supplied parameters from ParamListInfo are passed
down, but PARAM_EXEC parameters are not. Various other constructs,
such as initplans, subplans, and CTEs, are also not currently shared.
Nevertheless, there's enough here to support a basic implementation of
parallel query, and we can lift some of the current restrictions as
needed.

In 9.5 and master there is no need to support legacy truncation. This is
just committed separately to make it easier to backpatch the WAL logged
multixact truncation to 9.3 and 9.4 if we later decide to do so.
I bumped master's magic from 0xD086 to 0xD088 and 9.5's from 0xD085 to
0xD087 to avoid 9.5 reusing a value that has been in use on master while
keeping the numbers increasing between major versions.

The fact that multixact truncations are not WAL logged has caused a fair
share of problems. Amongst others it requires to do computations during
recovery while the database is not in a consistent state, delaying
truncations till checkpoints, and handling members being truncated, but
offset not.
We tried to put bandaids on lots of these issues over the last years,
but it seems time to change course. Thus this patch introduces WAL
logging for multixact truncations.
This allows:
1) to perform the truncation directly during VACUUM, instead of delaying it
to the checkpoint.
2) to avoid looking at the offsets SLRU for truncation during recovery,
we can just use the master's values.
3) simplify a fair amount of logic to keep in memory limits straight,
this has gotten much easier
During the course of fixing this a bunch of additional bugs had to be
fixed:
1) Data was not purged from memory the member's SLRU before deleting
segments. This happened to be hard or impossible to hit due to the
interlock between checkpoints and truncation.
2) find_multixact_start() relied on SimpleLruDoesPhysicalPageExist - but
that doesn't work for offsets that haven't yet been flushed to
disk. Add code to flush the SLRUs to fix. Not pretty, but it feels
slightly safer to only make decisions based on actual on-disk state.
3) find_multixact_start() could be called concurrently with a truncation
and thus fail. Via SetOffsetVacuumLimit() that could lead to a round
of emergency vacuuming. The problem remains in
pg_get_multixact_members(), but that's quite harmless.
For now this is going to only get applied to 9.5+, leaving the issues in
the older branches in place. It is quite possible that we need to
backpatch at a later point though.
For the case this gets backpatched we need to handle that an updated
standby may be replaying WAL from a not-yet upgraded primary. We have to
recognize that situation and use "old style" truncation (i.e. looking at
the SLRUs) during WAL replay. In contrast to before, this now happens in
the startup process, when replaying a checkpoint record, instead of the
checkpointer. Doing truncation in the restartpoint is incorrect, they
can happen much later than the original checkpoint, thereby leading to
wraparound. To avoid "multixact_redo: unknown op code 48" errors
standbys would have to be upgraded before primaries.
A later patch will bump the WAL page magic, and remove the legacy
truncation codepaths. Legacy truncation support is just included to make
a possible future backpatch easier.

Previously, a function call appearing at the top level of WHERE had a
hard-wired selectivity estimate of 0.3333333, a kludge conveniently dated
in the source code itself to July 1992. The expectation at the time was
that somebody would soon implement estimator support functions analogous
to those for operators; but no such code has appeared, nor does it seem
likely to in the near future. We do have an alternative solution though,
at least for immutable functions on single relations: creating an
expression index on the function call will allow ANALYZE to gather stats
about the function's selectivity. But the code in clause_selectivity()
failed to make use of such data even if it exists.
Refactor so that that will happen. I chose to make it try this technique
for any clause type for which clause_selectivity() doesn't have a special
case, not just functions. To avoid adding unnecessary overhead in the
common case where we don't learn anything new, make selfuncs.c provide an
API that hooks directly to examine_variable() and then var_eq_const(),
rather than the previous coding which laboriously constructed an OpExpr
only so that it could be expensively deconstructed again.
I preserved the behavior that the default estimate for a function call
is 0.3333333. (For any other expression node type, it's 0.5, as before.)
I had originally thought to make the default be 0.5 across the board, but
changing a default estimate that's survived for twenty-three years seems
like something not to do without a lot more testing than I care to put
into it right now.
Per a complaint from Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais. Back-patch into 9.5,

Every query of a single ENABLE ROW SECURITY table has two meanings, with
the row_security GUC selecting between them. With row_security=force
available, every function author would have been advised to either set
the GUC locally or test both meanings. Non-compliance would have
threatened reliability and, for SECURITY DEFINER functions, security.
Authors already face an obligation to account for search_path, and we
should not mimic that example. With this change, only BYPASSRLS roles
need exercise the aforementioned care. Back-patch to 9.5, where the
row_security GUC was introduced.
Since this narrows the domain of pg_db_role_setting.setconfig and
pg_proc.proconfig, one might bump catversion. A row_security=force
setting in one of those columns will elicit a clear message, so don't.

The shm_mq mechanism was built to send error (and notice) messages and
tuples between backends. However, shm_mq itself only deals in raw
bytes. Since commit 2bd9e412f92bc6a68f3e8bcb18e04955cc35001d, we have
had infrastructure for one message to redirect protocol messages to a
queue and for another backend to parse them and do useful things with
them. This commit introduces a somewhat analogous facility for tuples
by adding a new type of DestReceiver, DestTupleQueue, which writes
each tuple generated by a query into a shm_mq, and a new
TupleQueueFunnel facility which reads raw tuples out of the queue and
reconstructs the HeapTuple format expected by the executor.
The TupleQueueFunnel abstraction supports reading from multiple tuple
streams at the same time, but only in round-robin fashion. Someone
could imaginably want other policies, but this should be good enough
to meet our short-term needs related to parallel query, and we can
always extend it later.
This also makes one minor addition to the shm_mq API that didn'
seem worth breaking out as a separate patch.

code was originally written by me, and then it was revised by Amit,

After an internal failure in shortest() or longest() while pinning down the
exact location of a match, find() forgot to free the DFA structure before
returning. This is pretty unlikely to occur, since we just successfully
ran the "search" variant of the DFA; but it could happen, and it would
result in a session-lifespan memory leak since this code uses malloc()
directly. Problem seems to have been aboriginal in Spencer's library,
so back-patch all the way.
In passing, correct a thinko in a comment I added awhile back about the
meaning of the "ntree" field.
I happened across these issues while comparing our code to Tcl's version

Commit 013ebc0a7b7ea9c1b1ab7a3d4dd75ea121ea8ba7 introduces microvacuum for
GiST, deletetion of tuple marked LP_DEAD uses IndexPageMultiDelete while
recovery code uses IndexPageTupleDelete in loop. This causes a difference

IndexPageMultiDelete in GiST except gistplacetopage() where only one tuple is
deleted at once. That also slightly improve performance, because
IndexPageMultiDelete is more effective.

Commit 924bcf4f16d54c55310b28f77686608684734f42 introduced a framework
for parallel computation in PostgreSQL that makes most but not all
built-in functions safe to execute in parallel mode. In order to have
parallel query, we'll need to be able to determine whether that query
contains functions (either built-in or user-defined) that cannot be
safely executed in parallel mode. This requires those functions to be
labeled, so this patch introduces an infrastructure for that. Some
functions currently labeled as safe may need to be revised depending on
how pending issues related to heavyweight locking under paralllelism
are resolved.
Parallel plans can't be used except for the case where the query will
run to completion. If portal execution were suspended, the parallel
mode restrictions would need to remain in effect during that time, but
that might make other queries fail. Therefore, this patch introduces
a framework that enables consideration of parallel plans only when it
is known that the plan will be run to completion. This probably needs
some refinement; for example, at bind time, we do not know whether a
query run via the extended protocol will be execution to completion or
run with a limited fetch count. Having the client indicate its
intentions at bind time would constitute a wire protocol break. Some
contexts in which parallel mode would be safe are not adjusted by this
patch; the default is not to try parallel plans except from call sites
that have been updated to say that such plans are OK.
This commit doesn't introduce any parallel paths or plans; it just
provides a way to determine whether they could potentially be used.
I'm committing it on the theory that the remaining parallel sequential
scan patches will also get committed to this release, hopefully in the
not-too-distant future.

Sync our regex code with upstream changes since last time we did this,
which was Tcl 8.5.11 (see commit 08fd6ff37f71485e2fc04bc6ce07d2a483c36702).
The only functional change here is to disbelieve that an octal escape is
three digits long if it would exceed \377. That's a bug fix, but it's
a minor one and could change the interpretation of working regexes, so
don't back-patch.
In addition to that, s/INFINITY/DUPINF/ to eliminate the risk of collisions
with <math.h>'s macro, and s/LOCAL/NOPROP/ because that also seems like
an unnecessarily collision-prone macro name.
There were some other cosmetic changes in their copy that I did not adopt,
notably a rather half-hearted attempt at renaming some of the C functions
in a more verbose style. (I'm not necessarily against the concept, but
renaming just a few functions in the package is not an improvement.)

This commit makes postmaster forcibly remove the files signaling
a standby promotion request. Otherwise, the existence of those files
can trigger a promotion too early, whether a user wants that or not.
This removal of files is usually unnecessary because they can exist
only during a few moments during a standby promotion. However
there is a race condition: if pg_ctl promote is executed and creates
the files during a promotion, the files can stay around even after
the server is brought up to new master. Then, if new standby starts
by using the backup taken from that master, the files can exist
at the server startup and should be removed in order to avoid
an unexpected promotion.

Formerly, we treated only portals created in the current subtransaction as
having failed during subtransaction abort. However, if the error occurred
while running a portal created in an outer subtransaction (ie, a cursor
declared before the last savepoint), that has to be considered broken too.
To allow reliable detection of which ones those are, add a bookkeeping
field to struct Portal that tracks the innermost subtransaction in which
each portal has actually been executed. (Without this, we'd end up
failing portals containing functions that had called the subtransaction,
thereby breaking plpgsql exception blocks completely.)
In addition, when we fail an outer-subtransaction Portal, transfer its
resources into the subtransaction's resource owner, so that they're
released early in cleanup of the subxact. This fixes a problem reported by
Jim Nasby in which a function executed in an outer-subtransaction cursor
could cause an Assert failure or crash by referencing a relation created
within the inner subtransaction.
The proximate cause of the Assert failure is that AtEOSubXact_RelationCache
assumed it could blow away a relcache entry without first checking that the
entry had zero refcount. That was a bad idea on its own terms, so add such
a check there, and to the similar coding in AtEOXact_RelationCache. This
provides an independent safety measure in case there are still ways to
provoke the situation despite the Portal-level changes.
This has been broken since subtransactions were invented, so back-patch
to all supported branches.

Some googling turned up multiple sources saying that older versions of icc
do not accept gcc-compatible asm blocks on IA64, though asm does work on
x86[_64]. This is apparently fixed as of icc version 12.0 or so, but that
doesn't help us much; if we have to carry the extra implementation anyway,
we may as well just use it for icc rather than add a compiler version test.
Hence, revert commit 2c713d6ea29c91cd2cbd92fa801a61e55ea2a3c4 (though I
separated the icc code from the gcc code completely, producing what seems
cleaner code). Document the state of affairs more explicitly, both in
s_lock.h and postgres.c, and make some cosmetic adjustments around the
IA64 code in s_lock.h.
|
|
The atomics headers were written under the impression that icc doesn't
handle gcc-style asm blocks, but this is demonstrably false on x86_[64],
because s_lock.h has done it that way for more than a decade. (The jury is
still out on whether this also works on ia64, so I'm leaving ia64-related
code alone for the moment.) Treat gcc and icc the same in these headers.
This is less code and it should improve the results for icc, because we
hadn't gotten around to providing icc-specific implementations for most
of the atomics.

Remove configure's checks for HAVE_POSIX_SIGNALS, HAVE_SIGPROCMASK, and
HAVE_SIGSETJMP. These APIs are required by the Single Unix Spec v2
(POSIX 1997), which we generally consider to define our minimum required
set of Unix APIs. Moreover, no buildfarm member has reported not having
them since 2012 or before, which means that even if the code is still live
somewhere, it's untested --- and we've made plenty of signal-handling
changes of late. So just take these APIs as given and save the cycles for
configure probes for them.
However, we can't remove as much C code as I'd hoped, because the Windows
port evidently still uses the non-POSIX code paths for signal masking.
Since we're largely emulating these BSD-style APIs for Windows anyway, it
might be a good thing to switch over to POSIX-like notation and thereby
remove a few more #ifdefs. But I'm not in a position to code or test that.
In the meantime, we can at least make things a bit more transparent by
testing for WIN32 explicitly in these places.

On recent AIX it's necessary to configure gcc to use the native assembler
(because the GNU assembler hasn't been updated to handle AIX 6+). This
caused PG builds to fail with assembler syntax errors, because we'd try
to compile s_lock.h's gcc asm fragment for PPC, and that assembly code
relied on GNU-style local labels. We can't substitute normal labels
because it would fail in any file containing more than one inlined use of
tas(). Fortunately, that code is stable enough, and the PPC ISA is simple
enough, that it doesn't seem like too much of a maintenance burden to just
hand-code the branch offsets, removing the need for any labels.
Note that the AIX assembler only accepts "$" for the location counter
pseudo-symbol. The usual GNU convention is "."; but it appears that all
versions of gas for PPC also accept "$", so in theory this patch will not
break any other PPC platforms.
This has been reported by a few people, but Steve Underwood gets the credit
for being the first to pursue the problem far enough to understand why it
was failing. Thanks also to Noah Misch for additional testing.

We had a report from Stefan Kaltenbrunner of a case in which postmaster
log files overran available disk space because multiple backends spewed
enormous context stats dumps upon hitting an out-of-memory condition.
Given the lack of similar reports, this isn't a common problem, but it
still seems worth doing something about. However, we don't want to just
blindly truncate the output, because that might prevent diagnosis of OOM
problems. What seems like a workable compromise is to limit the dump to
100 child contexts per parent, and summarize the space used within any
additional child contexts. That should help because practical cases where
the dump gets long will typically be huge numbers of siblings under the
same parent context; while the additional debugging value from seeing
details about individual siblings beyond 100 will not be large, we hope.
Anyway it doesn't take much code or memory space to do this, so let's try
it like this and see how things go.
Since the summarization mechanism requires passing totals back up anyway,
I took the opportunity to add a "grand total" line to the end of the
printout.

Since the distances used in this algorithm are small integers (not more
than the size of the U set, in fact), there is no good reason to use float
arithmetic for them. Use short ints instead: they're smaller, faster, and
require no special portability assumptions.
Per testing by Greg Stark, which disclosed that the code got into an
infinite loop on VAX for lack of IEEE-style float infinities. We don't
really care all that much whether Postgres can run on a VAX anymore,
but there seems sufficient reason to change this code anyway.
In passing, make a few other small adjustments to make the code match
usual Postgres coding style a bit better.

To avoid confusion, rename CreatePolicyStmt's 'cmd' to 'cmd_name',
parse_policy_command's 'cmd' to 'polcmd', and AlterPolicy's 'cmd_datum'
to 'polcmd_datum', per discussion with Noah and as a follow-up to his
correction of copynodes/equalnodes handling of the CreatePolicyStmt
'cmd' field.
Back-patch to 9.5 where the CreatePolicyStmt was introduced, as we
are still only in alpha.

Reduce lock levels down to ShareUpdateExclusiveLock for all autovacuum-related
relation options when setting them using ALTER TABLE.
Add infrastructure to allow varying lock levels for relation options in later
patches. Setting multiple options together uses the highest lock level required
for any option. Works for both main and toast tables.

These are emitted by the new ax_pthread.m4 script version. They are not
used for anything in PostgreSQL, but let's keep the generated header file
up-to-date.
