32 hoursExtend int128.h to support more numeric code.Dean Rasheed
This adds a few more functions to int128.h, allowing more of numeric.c to use 128-bit integers on all platforms. Specifically, int64_div_fast_to_numeric() and the following aggregate functions can now use 128-bit integers for improved performance on all platforms, rather than just platforms with native support for int128: - SUM(int8) - AVG(int8) - STDDEV_POP(int2 or int4) - STDDEV_SAMP(int2 or int4) - VAR_POP(int2 or int4) - VAR_SAMP(int2 or int4) In addition to improved performance on platforms lacking native 128-bit integer support, this significantly simplifies this numeric code by allowing a lot of conditionally compiled code to be deleted. A couple of numeric functions (div_var_int64() and sqrt_var()) still contain conditionally compiled 128-bit integer code that only works on platforms with native 128-bit integer support. Making those work more generally would require rolling our own higher precision 128-bit division, which isn't supported for now.

38 hoursSimplify non-native 64x64-bit multiplication in int128.h.Dean Rasheed
In the non-native code in int128_add_int64_mul_int64(), use signed 64-bit integer multiplication instead of unsigned multiplication for the first three product terms. This simplifies the code needed to add each product term to the result, leading to more compact and efficient code. The actual performance gain is quite modest, but it seems worth it to improve the code's readability.

38 hoursOptimise non-native 128-bit addition in int128.h.Dean Rasheed
On platforms without native 128-bit integer support, simplify the test for carry in int128_add_uint64() by noting that the low-part addition is unsigned integer arithmetic, which is just modular arithmetic. Therefore the test for carry can simply be written as "new value < old value" (i.e., a test for modular wrap-around). This can then be made branchless so that on modern compilers it produces the same machine instructions as native 128-bit addition, making it significantly simpler and faster. Similarly, the test for carry in int128_add_int64() can be written in much the same way, but with an extra term to compensate for the sign of the value being added. Again, on modern compilers this leads to branchless code, often identical to the native 128-bit integer addition machine code.

5 daysDetect and report update_deleted conflicts.Amit Kapila
This enhancement builds upon the infrastructure introduced in commit 228c370868, which enables the preservation of deleted tuples and their origin information on the subscriber. This capability is crucial for handling concurrent transactions replicated from remote nodes. The update introduces support for detecting update_deleted conflicts during the application of update operations on the subscriber. When an update operation fails to locate the target row-typically because it has been concurrently deleted-we perform an additional table scan. This scan uses the SnapshotAny mechanism and we do this additional scan only when the retain_dead_tuples option is enabled for the relevant subscription. The goal of this scan is to locate the most recently deleted tuple-matching the old column values from the remote update-that has not yet been removed by VACUUM and is still visible according to our slot (i.e., its deletion is not older than conflict-detection-slot's xmin). If such a tuple is found, the system reports an update_deleted conflict, including the origin and transaction details responsible for the deletion. This provides a groundwork for more robust and accurate conflict resolution process, preventing unexpected behavior by correctly identifying cases where a remote update clashes with a deletion from another origin.

6 daysSilence Valgrind leakage complaints in more-or-less-hackish ways.Tom Lane
These changes don't actually fix any leaks. They just make sure that Valgrind will find pointers to data structures that remain allocated at process exit, and thus not falsely complain about leaks. In particular, we are trying to avoid situations where there is no pointer to the beginning of an allocated block (except possibly within the block itself, which Valgrind won't count). * Because dynahash.c never frees hashtable storage except by deleting the whole hashtable context, it doesn't bother to track the individual blocks of elements allocated by element_alloc(). This results in "possibly lost" complaints from Valgrind except when the first element of each block is actively in use. (Otherwise it'll be on a freelist, but very likely only reachable via "interior pointers" within element blocks, which doesn't satisfy Valgrind.) To fix, if we're building with USE_VALGRIND, expend an extra pointer's worth of space in each element block so that we can chain them all together from the HTAB header. Skip this in shared hashtables though: Valgrind doesn't track those, and we'd need additional locking to make it safe to manipulate a shared chain. While here, update a comment obsoleted by 9c911ec06. * Put the dlist_node fields of catctup and catclist structs first. This ensures that the dlist pointers point to the starts of these palloc blocks, and thus that Valgrind won't consider them "possibly lost". * The postmaster's PMChild structs and the autovac launcher's avl_dbase structs also have the dlist_node-is-not-first problem, but putting it first still wouldn't silence the warning because we bulk-allocate those structs in an array, so that Valgrind sees a single allocation. Commonly the first array element will be pointed to only from some later element, so that the reference would be an interior pointer even if it pointed to the array start. (This is the same issue as for dynahash elements.) Since these are pretty simple data structures, I don't feel too bad about faking out Valgrind by just keeping a static pointer to the array start. (This is all quite hacky, and it's not hard to imagine usages where we'd need some other idea in order to have reasonable leak tracking of structures that are only accessible via dlist_node lists. But these changes seem to be enough to silence this class of leakage complaints for the moment.) * Free a couple of data structures manually near the end of an autovacuum worker's run when USE_VALGRIND, and ensure that the final vac_update_datfrozenxid() call is done in a non-permanent context. This doesn't have any real effect on the process's total memory consumption, since we're going to exit as soon as that last transaction is done. But it does pacify Valgrind. * Valgrind complains about the postmaster's socket-files and lock-files lists being leaked, which we can silence by just not nulling out the static pointers to them. * Valgrind seems not to consider the global "environ" variable as a valid root pointer; so when we allocate a new environment array, it claims that data is leaked. To fix that, keep our own statically-allocated copy of the pointer, similarly to the previous item.

6 daysImprove our support for Valgrind's leak tracking.Tom Lane
When determining whether an allocated chunk is still reachable, Valgrind will consider only pointers within what it believes to be allocated chunks. Normally, all of a block obtained from malloc() would be considered "allocated" --- but it turns out that if we use VALGRIND_MEMPOOL_ALLOC to designate sub-section(s) of a malloc'ed block as allocated, all the rest of that malloc'ed block is ignored. This leads to lots of false positives of course. In particular, in any multi-malloc-block context, all but the primary block were reported as leaked. We also had a problem with context "ident" strings, which were reported as leaked unless there was some other pointer to them besides the one in the context header. To fix, we need to use VALGRIND_MEMPOOL_ALLOC to designate a context's management structs (the context struct itself and any per-block headers) as allocated chunks. That forces moving the VALGRIND_CREATE_MEMPOOL/VALGRIND_DESTROY_MEMPOOL calls into the per-context-type code, so that the pool identifier can be made as soon as we've allocated the initial block, but otherwise it's fairly straightforward. Note that in Valgrind's eyes there is no distinction between these allocations and the allocations that the mmgr modules hand out to user code. That's fine for now, but perhaps someday we'll want to do better yet. When reading this patch, it's helpful to start with the comments added at the head of mcxt.c.

9 daysRename CachedPlanType to PlannedStmtOrigin for PlannedStmtMichael Paquier
Commit 719dcf3c42 introduced a field called CachedPlanType in PlannedStmt to allow extensions to determine whether a cached plan is generic or custom. After discussion, the concepts that we want to track are a bit wider than initially anticipated, as it is closer to knowing from which "source" or "origin" a PlannedStmt has been generated or retrieved. Custom and generic cached plans are a subset of that. Based on the state of HEAD, we have been able to define two more origins: - "standard", for the case where PlannedStmt is generated in standard_planner(), the most common case. - "internal", for the fake PlannedStmt generated internally by some query patterns. This could be tuned in the future depending on what is needed. This looks like a good starting point, at least. The default value is called "UNKNOWN", provided as fallback value. This value is not used in the core code, the idea is to let extensions building their own PlannedStmts know about this new field.

11 daysDisplay Memoize planner estimates in EXPLAINDavid Rowley
There've been a few complaints that it can be overly difficult to figure out why the planner picked a Memoize plan. To help address that, here we adjust the EXPLAIN output to display the following additional details: 1) The estimated number of cache entries that can be stored at once 2) The estimated number of unique lookup keys that we expect to see 3) The number of lookups we expect 4) The estimated hit ratio Technically #4 can be calculated using #1, #2 and #3, but it's not a particularly obvious calculation, so we opt to display it explicitly. The original patch by Lukas Fittl only displayed the hit ratio, but there was a fear that might lead to more questions about how that was calculated. The idea with displaying all 4 is to be transparent which may allow queries to be tuned more easily. For example, if #2 isn't correct then maybe extended statistics or a manual n_distinct estimate can be used to help fix poor plan choices.

12 daysFix performance regression with flush of pending fixed-numbered statsMichael Paquier
The callback added in fc415edf8ca8 used to check if there is any pending data to flush for fixed-numbered statistics, done by looping across all the builtin and custom stats kinds with a call to have_fixed_pending_cb, is proving to able to show in workloads that do not report any stats (read-only, no function calls, no WAL, no IO, etc). The code used in v17 was cheaper than that what HEAD has introduced, relying on three boolean checks for WAL, SLRU and IO stats. This commit switches the code to use a more efficient approach than fc415edf8ca8, with a single boolean flag that can be switched to "true" by any fixed-numbered stats kinds to force pgstat_report_stat() to go through one round of reports. The flag is reset by pgstat_report_stat() once a full round of reports is done. The flag being false means that fixed-numbered stats kinds saw no activity, and that there is no pending data to flush. ac000fca743e took one step in improving the performance by reducing the number of stats kinds that the backend can hold. This commit takes a more drastic step by bringing back the code efficiency to what it was before v18 with a cheap check at the beginning of pgstat_report_stat() for its fast-exit path. The callback have_static_pending_cb is removed as an effect of all that.

2025-07-25Create infrastructure to reliably prevent leakage of PGresults.Tom Lane
Commit 232d8caea fixed a case where postgres_fdw could lose track of a PGresult object, resulting in a process-lifespan memory leak. But I have little faith that there aren't other potential PGresult leakages, now or in future, in the backend modules that use libpq. Therefore, this patch proposes infrastructure that makes all PGresults returned from libpq act as though they are palloc'd in the CurrentMemoryContext (with the option to relocate them to another context later). This should greatly reduce the risk of careless leaks, and it also permits removal of a bunch of code that attempted to prevent such leaks via PG_TRY blocks. This patch adds infrastructure that wraps each PGresult in a "libpqsrv_PGresult" that provides a memory context reset callback to PQclear the PGresult. Code using this abstraction is inherently memory-safe to the same extent as we are accustomed to in most backend code. Furthermore, we add some macros that automatically redirect calls of the libpq functions concerned with PGresults to use this infrastructure, so that almost no source-code changes are needed to wheel this infrastructure into place in all the backend code that uses libpq. Perhaps in future we could create similar infrastructure for PGconn objects, but there seems less need for that. This patch just creates the infrastructure and makes relevant code use it, including reverting 232d8caea in favor of this mechanism. A good deal of follow-on simplification is possible now that we don't have to be so cautious about freeing PGresults, but I'll put that in a separate patch.

This commit changes stats kinds to have the following bounds, making their handling in core cheaper by default: - PGSTAT_KIND_CUSTOM_MIN 128 -> 24 - PGSTAT_KIND_MAX 256 -> 32 The original numbers were rather high, and showed an impact on performance in pgstat_report_stat() for the case of simple queries with its early-exit path if there are no pending statistics to flush. This logic will be improved more in a follow-up commit to bring the performance of pgstat_report_stat() on par with v17 and older versions. Lowering the bounds is a change worth doing on its own, independently of the other improvement. These new numbers should be enough to leave some room for the following years for built-in and custom stats kinds, with stable ID numbers. At least that should be enough to start with this facility for extension developers. It can be always increased in the tree depending on the requirements wanted.

2025-07-23Fix build breakage on Solaris-alikes with late-model GCC.Tom Lane
Solaris has never bothered to add "const" to the second argument of PAM conversation procs, as all other Unixen did decades ago. This resulted in an "incompatible pointer" compiler warning when building --with-pam, but had no more serious effect than that, so we never did anything about it. However, as of GCC 14 the case is an error not warning by default. To complicate matters, recent OpenIndiana (and maybe illumos in general?) *does* supply the "const" by default, so we can't just assume that platforms using our solaris template need help. What we can do, short of building a configure-time probe, is to make solaris.h #define _PAM_LEGACY_NONCONST, which causes OpenIndiana's pam_appl.h to revert to the traditional definition, and hopefully will have no effect anywhere else. Then we can use that same symbol to control whether we include "const" in the declaration of pam_passwd_conv_proc().

2025-07-23Preserve conflict-relevant data during logical replication.Amit Kapila
Logical replication requires reliable conflict detection to maintain data consistency across nodes. To achieve this, we must prevent premature removal of tuples deleted by other origins and their associated commit_ts data by VACUUM, which could otherwise lead to incorrect conflict reporting and resolution. This patch introduces a mechanism to retain deleted tuples on the subscriber during the application of concurrent transactions from remote nodes. Retaining these tuples allows us to correctly ignore concurrent updates to the same tuple. Without this, an UPDATE might be misinterpreted as an INSERT during resolutions due to the absence of the original tuple. Additionally, we ensure that origin metadata is not prematurely removed by vacuum freeze, which is essential for detecting update_origin_differs and delete_origin_differs conflicts. To support this, a new replication slot named pg_conflict_detection is created and maintained by the launcher on the subscriber. Each apply worker tracks its own non-removable transaction ID, which the launcher aggregates to determine the appropriate xmin for the slot, thereby retaining necessary tuples. Conflict information retention (deleted tuples and commit_ts) can be enabled per subscription via the retain_conflict_info option. This is disabled by default to avoid unnecessary overhead for configurations that do not require conflict resolution or logging.

2025-07-22Remove translation marker from libpq-be-fe-helpers.h.Fujii Masao
Commit 112faf1378e introduced a translation marker in libpq-be-fe-helpers.h, but this caused build failures on some platforms—such as the one reported by buildfarm member indri—due to linker issues with dblink. This is the same problem previously addressed in commit 213c959a294. To fix the issue, this commit removes the translation marker from libpq-be-fe-helpers.h, following the approach used in 213c959a294. It also removes the associated gettext_noop() calls added in commit 112faf1378e, as they are no longer needed. While reviewing this, a gettext_noop() call was also found in contrib/basic_archive. Since contrib modules don't support translation, this call has been removed as well. Per buildfarm member indri.

2025-07-22Log remote NOTICE, WARNING, and similar messages using ereport().Fujii Masao
Previously, NOTICE, WARNING, and similar messages received from remote servers over replication, postgres_fdw, or dblink connections were printed directly to stderr on the local server (e.g., the subscriber). As a result, these messages lacked log prefixes (e.g., timestamp), making them harder to trace and correlate with other log entries. This commit addresses the issue by introducing a custom notice receiver for replication, postgres_fdw, and dblink connections. These messages are now logged via ereport(), ensuring they appear in the logs with proper formatting and context, which improves clarity and aids in debugging.

2025-07-22Reduce "Var IS [NOT] NULL" quals during constant foldingRichard Guo
In commit b262ad440, we introduced an optimization that reduces an IS [NOT] NULL qual on a NOT NULL column to constant true or constant false, provided we can prove that the input expression of the NullTest is not nullable by any outer joins or grouping sets. This deduction happens quite late in the planner, during the distribution of quals to rels in query_planner. However, this approach has some drawbacks: we can't perform any further folding with the constant, and it turns out to be prone to bugs. Ideally, this deduction should happen during constant folding. However, the per-relation information about which columns are defined as NOT NULL is not available at that point. This information is currently collected from catalogs when building RelOptInfos for base or "other" relations. This patch moves the collection of NOT NULL attribute information for relations before pull_up_sublinks, storing it in a hash table keyed by relation OID. It then uses this information to perform the NullTest deduction for Vars during constant folding. This also makes it possible to leverage this information to pull up NOT IN subqueries. Note that this patch does not get rid of restriction_is_always_true and restriction_is_always_false. Removing them would prevent us from reducing some IS [NOT] NULL quals that we were previously able to reduce, because (a) the self-join elimination may introduce new IS NOT NULL quals after constant folding, and (b) if some outer joins are converted to inner joins, previously irreducible NullTest quals may become reducible.

2025-07-22Centralize collection of catalog info needed early in the plannerRichard Guo
There are several pieces of catalog information that need to be retrieved for a relation during the early stage of planning. These include relhassubclass, which is used to clear the inh flag if the relation has no children, as well as a column's attgenerated and default value, which are needed to expand virtual generated columns. More such information may be required in the future. Currently, these pieces of catalog data are collected in multiple places, resulting in repeated table_open/table_close calls for each relation in the rangetable. This patch centralizes the collection of all required early-stage catalog information into a single loop over the rangetable, allowing each relation to be opened and closed only once.

2025-07-22Expand virtual generated columns before sublink pull-upRichard Guo
Currently, we expand virtual generated columns after we have pulled up any SubLinks within the query's quals. This ensures that the virtual generated column references within SubLinks that should be transformed into joins are correctly expanded. This approach works well and has posed no issues. In an upcoming patch, we plan to centralize the collection of catalog information needed early in the planner. This will help avoid repeated table_open/table_close calls for relations in the rangetable. Since this information is required during sublink pull-up, we are moving the expansion of virtual generated columns to occur beforehand. To achieve this, if any EXISTS SubLinks can be pulled up, their rangetables are processed just before pulling them up.

2025-07-18Fix concurrent update trigger issues with MERGE in a CTE.Dean Rasheed
If a MERGE inside a CTE attempts an UPDATE or DELETE on a table with BEFORE ROW triggers, and a concurrent UPDATE or DELETE happens, the merge code would fail (crashing in the case of an UPDATE action, and potentially executing the wrong action for a DELETE action). This is the same issue that 9321c79c86 attempted to fix, except now for a MERGE inside a CTE. As noted in 9321c79c86, what needs to happen is for the trigger code to exit early, returning the TM_Result and TM_FailureData information to the merge code, if a concurrent modification is detected, rather than attempting to do an EPQ recheck. The merge code will then do its own rechecking, and rescan the action list, potentially executing a different action in light of the concurrent update. In particular, the trigger code must never call ExecGetUpdateNewTuple() for MERGE, since that is bound to fail because MERGE has its own per-action projection information. Commit 9321c79c86 did this using estate->es_plannedstmt->commandType in the trigger code to detect that a MERGE was being executed, which is fine for a plain MERGE command, but does not work for a MERGE inside a CTE. Fix by passing that information to the trigger code as an additional parameter passed to ExecBRUpdateTriggers() and ExecBRDeleteTriggers(). Back-patch as far as v17 only, since MERGE cannot appear inside a CTE prior to that. Additionally, take care to preserve the trigger ABI in v17 (though not in v18, which is still in beta).

2025-07-11Fix the handling of two GUCs during upgrade.Amit Kapila
Previously, the check_hook functions for max_slot_wal_keep_size and idle_replication_slot_timeout would incorrectly raise an ERROR for values set in postgresql.conf during upgrade, even though those values were not actively used in the upgrade process.

Now, instead of relying on those values, we directly prevent WAL removal and logical slot invalidation caused by max_slot_wal_keep_size and idle_replication_slot_timeout. Note: PostgreSQL 17 does not include the idle_replication_slot_timeout GUC, so related changes were not backported.

2025-07-11Change unit of idle_replication_slot_timeout to seconds.Fujii Masao
Previously, the idle_replication_slot_timeout parameter used minutes as its unit, based on the assumption that values would typically exceed one minute in production environments.

To allow finer-grained control and avoid such confusion, this commit changes the unit of idle_replication_slot_timeout to seconds. Larger values can still be specified easily using standard time suffixes, for example, '24h' for 24 hours. Back-patch to v18 where idle_replication_slot_timeout was added.

CI worked around this by disabling ICU, but let's make it work so others can run the script. We can specify we only want the C APIs by defining U_SHOW_CPLUSPLUS_API to be 0 in pg_locale.h. Extensions that want the C++ APIs can include ICU headers separately before including PostgreSQL headers.

2025-07-07aio: Combine io_uring memory mappings, if supportedAndres Freund
By default io_uring creates a shared memory mapping for each io_uring instance, leading to a large number of memory mappings. Unfortunately a large number of memory mappings slows things down, backend exit is particularly affected. To address that, newer kernels (6.5) support using user-provided memory for the memory. By putting the relevant memory into shared memory we don't need any additional mappings. On a system with a new enough kernel and liburing, there is no discernible overhead when doing a pgbench -S -C anymore.

2025-07-08Consider explicit incremental sort for Append and MergeAppendRichard Guo
For an ordered Append or MergeAppend, we need to inject an explicit sort into any subpath that is not already well enough ordered. Currently, only explicit full sorts are considered; incremental sorts are not yet taken into account. In this patch, for subpaths of an ordered Append or MergeAppend, we choose to use explicit incremental sort if it is enabled and there are presorted keys. The rationale is based on the assumption that incremental sort is always faster than full sort when there are presorted keys, a premise that has been applied in various parts of the code. In addition, the current cost model tends to favor incremental sort as being cheaper than full sort in the presence of presorted keys, making it reasonable not to consider full sort in such cases.
