It seems to make more sense to use "cutoff multixact" terminology
throughout the backend code; "freeze" is associated with replacing of an
Xid with FrozenTransactionId, which is not what we do for MultiXactIds.

Once the administrator has called for an immediate shutdown or a backend
crash has triggered a reinitialization, no mere SIGINT or SIGTERM should
change that course. Such derailment remains possible when the signal
arrives before quickdie() blocks signals. That being a narrow race
affecting most PostgreSQL signal handlers in some way, leave it for
another patch. Back-patch this to all supported versions.

The prototype for inval_twophase_postcommit wasn't removed when it's definition

Before, it would only show schemas that the current user owns. Per
discussion, the new behavior is more useful and consistent for PostgreSQL.

This allows a 32-bit field to represent an *optional* command ID

Doing so was helpful for some Valgrind usage and distracting for other
usage. One can achieve the same effect by changing log_statement and
pointing both PostgreSQL and Valgrind logging to stderr.

Commit 95ef6a344821655ce4d0a74999ac49dd6af6d342 removed the
ability to create rules on an individual column as of 7.3, but
left some residual code which has since been useless. This cleans
up that dead code without any change in behavior other than
dropping the useless column from the catalog.

If the hash table backing a catalog cache becomes too full (fillfactor > 2),
enlarge it. A new buckets array, double the size of the old, is allocated,
and all entries in the old hash are moved to the right bucket in the new
hash.
This has two benefits. First, cache lookups don't get so expensive when
there are lots of entries in a cache, like if you access hundreds of
thousands of tables. Second, we can make the (initial) sizes of the caches
much smaller, which saves memory.
This patch dials down the initial sizes of the catcaches. The new sizes are
chosen so that a backend that only runs a few basic queries still won't need
to enlarge any of them.

This reverts commit 269e780822abb2e44189afaccd6b0ee7aefa7ddd
and commit 5b571bb8c8d2bea610e01ae1ee7bc05adcfff528.
Unfortunately, the initial patch had insufficient performance testing,
and resulted in a regression.

Performance testing shows that if the insertpos_lck spinlock and the fields
that it protects are on the same cache line with other variables that are
frequently accessed, the false sharing can hurt performance a lot. Keep
them apart by adding some padding.

This GUC context value was once only used by ALTER DATABASE SET and
ALTER USER SET. That's not true anymore, though, so rewrite the
comments to be a bit more general.
Patch in HEAD only, since this is just an internal documentation issue.
|
|
The previous coding attempted to activate all the GUC settings specified
in SET clauses, so that the function validator could operate in the GUC
environment expected by the function body. However, this is problematic
when restoring a dump, since the SET clauses might refer to database
objects that don't exist yet. We already have the parameter
check_function_bodies that's meant to prevent forward references in
function definitions from breaking dumps, so let's change CREATE FUNCTION
to not install the SET values if check_function_bodies is off.
Authors of function validators were already advised not to make any
"context sensitive" checks when check_function_bodies is off, if indeed
they're checking anything at all in that mode. But extend the
documentation to point out the GUC issue in particular.
(Note that we still check the SET clauses to some extent; the behavior
with !check_function_bodies is now approximately equivalent to what ALTER
DATABASE/ROLE have been doing for awhile with context-dependent GUCs.)
This problem can be demonstrated in all active branches, so back-patch
all the way.

There's no inherent reason why an aggregate function can't be variadic
(even VARIADIC ANY) if its transition function can handle the case.
Indeed, this patch to add the feature touches none of the planner or
executor, and little of the parser; the main missing stuff was DDL and
pg_dump support.
It is true that variadic aggregates can create the same sort of ambiguity
about parameters versus ORDER BY keys that was complained of when we
(briefly) had both one- and two-argument forms of string_agg(). However,
the policy formed in response to that discussion only said that we'd not
create any built-in aggregates with varying numbers of arguments, not that
we shouldn't allow users to do it. So the logical extension of that is
we can allow users to make variadic aggregates as long as we're wary about
shipping any such in core.
In passing, this patch allows aggregate function arguments to be named, to
the extent of remembering the names in pg_proc and dumping them in pg_dump.
You can't yet call an aggregate using named-parameter notation. That seems
like a likely future extension, but it'll take some work, and it's not what
this patch is really about. Likewise, there's still some work needed to
make window functions handle VARIADIC fully, but I left that for another
day.

Failing to do so can cause queries to return wrong data, error out or crash.
This requires adding a new binaryheap_reset() method to binaryheap.c,

Testing done in 2011 by Tom Lane concluded that this is a win on Intel Xeons
and AMD Opterons, but it was not changed back then, because of an old
comment in tas() that suggested that it's a huge loss on older Opterons.
However, didn't have separate TAS() and TAS_SPIN() macros back then, so the
comment referred to doing a non-locked initial test even on the first
access, in uncontended case. I don't have access to older Opterons, but I'm
pretty sure that doing an initial unlocked test is unlikely to be a loss
while spinning, even though it might be for the first access.
We probably should do the same on 32-bit x86, but I'm afraid of changing it
without any testing. Hence just add a note to the x86 implementation
suggesting that we probably should do the same there.

Using the infrastructure provided by this patch, it's possible either
to wait for the startup of a dynamically-registered background worker,
or to poll the status of such a worker without waiting. In either
case, the current PID of the worker process can also be obtained.
As usual, worker_spi is updated to demonstrate the new functionality.

As noted by Tom Lane, commit 813fb0315587d32e3b77af1051a0ef517d187763
was overly optimistic about how safe it is to concurrently change
enumsortorder values under MVCC catalog scan semantics. Restore
some of the previous text, with hopefully-correct adjustments for
the new state of play.

We already did this for -t (--table) in 9.3, but missed the other similar
options. For consistency, allow all of them to be specified multiple times.
Unfortunately it's too late to sneak this into 9.3, so commit to master
only.

The previous coding in plancache.c essentially used 10% of the estimated
runtime as its cost estimate for planning. This can be pretty bogus,
especially when the estimated runtime is very small, such as in a simple
expression plan created by plpgsql, or a simple INSERT ... VALUES.
While we don't have a really good handle on how planning time compares
to runtime, it seems reasonable to use an estimate based on the number of
relations referenced in the query, with a rather large multiplier. This
patch uses 1000 * cpu_operator_cost * (nrelations + 1), so that even a
trivial query will be charged 1000 * cpu_operator_cost for planning.
This should address the problem reported by Marc Cousin and others that
9.2 and up prefer custom plans in cases where the planning time greatly
exceeds what can be saved.

The backup will not work (without a logarchive, and that's the whole

It's possible that inlining of SQL functions (or perhaps other changes?)
has exposed typmod information not known at parse time. In such cases,
Vars generated by query_planner might have valid typmod values while the
original grouping columns only have typmod -1. This isn't a semantic
problem since the behavior of grouping only depends on type not typmod,
but it breaks locate_grouping_columns' use of tlist_member to locate the
matching entry in query_planner's result tlist.
We can fix this without an excessive amount of new code or complexity by
relying on the fact that locate_grouping_columns only gets called when
make_subplanTargetList has set need_tlist_eval == false, and that can only
happen if all the grouping columns are simple Vars. Therefore we only need
to search the sub_tlist for a matching Var, and we can reasonably define a
"match" as being a match of the Var identity fields
varno/varattno/varlevelsup. The code still Asserts that vartype matches,
but ignores vartypmod.
Per bug #8393 from Evan Martin. The added regression test case is
basically the same as his example. This has been broken for a very long
time, so back-patch to all supported branches.

We should account for the per-group hashtable entry overhead when
considering whether to use a hash aggregate to implement DISTINCT. The
comparable logic in choose_hashed_grouping() gets this right, but I think
I omitted it here in the mistaken belief that there would be no overhead
if there were no aggregate functions to be evaluated. This can result in
more than 2X underestimate of the hash table size, if the tuples being
aggregated aren't very wide. Per report from Tomas Vondra.
This bug is of long standing, but per discussion we'll only back-patch into
9.3. Changing the estimation behavior in stable branches seems to carry too
much risk of destabilizing plan choices for already-tuned applications.

This change will only apply to mingw compilers, and has been found
necessary by late versions of the mingw-w64 compiler. It's the same as
what is done elsewhere for the Microsoft compilers.
If this doesn't upset older compilers in the buildfarm, it will be
backpatched to 9.1.

Instead of deleting all files in stats_temp_directory and the permanent
directory on a crash, only remove those files that match the pattern of
files we actually write in them, to avoid possibly clobbering existing
unrelated contents of the temporary directory. Per complaint from Jeff
Janes, and subsequent discussion, starting at message
CAMkU=1z9+7RsDODnT4=cDFBRBp8wYQbd_qsLcMtKEf-oFwuOdQ@mail.gmail.com
Also, fix a bug in the same routine to avoid removing files from the
permanent directory twice (instead of once from that directory and then
from the temporary directory), also per report from Jeff Janes, in
message

This keeps the usual trigger file name unchanged from 9.2, avoiding nasty
issues if you use a pre-9.3 pg_ctl binary with a 9.3 server or vice versa.
The fallback behavior of creating a full checkpoint before starting up is now
triggered by a file called "fallback_promote". That can be useful for
debugging purposes, but we don't expect any users to have to resort to that
and we might want to remove that in the future, which is why the fallback
mechanism is undocumented.

In an example such as
SELECT * FROM
i LEFT JOIN LATERAL (SELECT * FROM j WHERE i.n = j.n) j ON true;
it is safe to pull up the LATERAL subquery into its parent, but we must
then treat the "i.n = j.n" clause as a qual clause of the LEFT JOIN. The
previous coding in deconstruct_recurse mistakenly labeled the clause as
"is_pushed_down", resulting in wrong semantics if the clause were applied
at the join node, as per an example submitted awhile ago by Jeremy Evans.
To fix, postpone processing of such clauses until we return back up to
the appropriate recursion depth in deconstruct_recurse.
In addition, tighten the is-safe-to-pull-up checks in is_simple_subquery;
we previously missed the possibility that the LATERAL subquery might itself
contain an outer join that makes lateral references in lower quals unsafe.
A regression test case equivalent to Jeremy's example was already in my
commit of yesterday, but was giving the wrong results because of this
bug. This patch fixes the expected output for that, and also adds a
test case for the second problem.

When upgrading from servers of versions 9.2 and older, and MultiXactIds
have been used in the old server beyond the first page (that is, 2048
multis or more in the default 8kB-page build), pg_upgrade would set the
next multixact offset to use beyond what has been allocated in the new
cluster. This would cause a failure the first time the new cluster
needs to use this value, because the pg_multixact/offsets/ file wouldn't
exist or wouldn't be large enough. To fix, ensure that the transient
server instances launched by pg_upgrade extend the file as necessary.

The planner largely failed to consider the possibility that a
PlaceHolderVar's expression might contain a lateral reference to a Var
coming from somewhere outside the PHV's syntactic scope. We had a previous
report of a problem in this area, which I tried to fix in a quick-hack way
in commit 4da6439bd8553059766011e2a42c6e39df08717f, but Antonin Houska
pointed out that there were still some problems, and investigation turned
up other issues. This patch largely reverts that commit in favor of a more
thoroughly thought-through solution. The new theory is that a PHV's
ph_eval_at level cannot be higher than its original syntactic level. If it
contains lateral references, those don't change the ph_eval_at level, but
rather they create a lateral-reference requirement for the ph_eval_at join
relation. The code in joinpath.c needs to handle that.
Another issue is that createplan.c wasn't handling nested PlaceHolderVars
properly.
In passing, push knowledge of lateral-reference checks for join clauses
into join_clause_is_movable_to. This is mainly so that FDWs don't need
to deal with it.
This patch doesn't fix the original join-qual-placement problem reported by
Jeremy Evans (and indeed, one of the new regression test cases shows the
wrong answer because of that). But the PlaceHolderVar problems need to be
fixed before that issue can be addressed, so committing this separately
seems reasonable.
