2020-12-08Speed up rechecking if relation needs to be vacuumed or analyze in autovacuum.Fujii Masao
After autovacuum collects the relations to vacuum or analyze, it rechecks whether each relation still needs to be vacuumed or analyzed before actually doing that. Previously this recheck could be a significant overhead especially when there were a very large number of relations. This was because each recheck forced the statistics to be refreshed, and the refresh of the statistics for a very large number of relations could cause heavy overhead. There was the report that this issue caused autovacuum workers to have gotten “stuck” in a tight loop of table_recheck_autovac() that rechecks whether a relation needs to be vacuumed or analyzed. This commit speeds up the recheck by making autovacuum worker reuse the previously-read statistics for the recheck if possible. Then if that "stale" statistics says that a relation still needs to be vacuumed or analyzed, autovacuum refreshes the statistics and does the recheck again. The benchmark shows that the more relations exist and autovacuum workers are running concurrently, the more this change reduces the autovacuum execution time. For example, when there are 20,000 tables and 10 autovacuum workers are running, the benchmark showed that the change improved the performance of autovacuum more than three times. On the other hand, even when there are only 1000 tables and only a single autovacuum worker is running, the benchmark didn't show any big performance regression by the change. Firstly POC patch was proposed by Jim Nasby. As the result of discussion, we used Tatsuhito Kasahara's version of the patch using the approach suggested by Tom Lane.

2020-12-07jit: Correct parameter type for generated expression evaluation functions.Andres Freund
clang only uses the 'i1' type for scalar booleans, not for pointers to booleans (as the pointer might be pointing into a larger memory allocation). Therefore a pointer-to-bool needs to the "storage" boolean. There's no known case of wrong code generation due to this, but it seems quite possible that it could cause problems (see e.g. 72559438f92).

2020-12-08Avoid using tuple from syscache for update of pg_database.datfrozenxidMichael Paquier
pg_database.datfrozenxid gets updated using an in-place update at the end of vacuum or autovacuum. Since 96cdeae, as pg_database has a toast relation, it is possible for a pg_database tuple to have toast values if there is a large set of ACLs in place. In such a case, the in-place update would fail because of the flattening of the toast values done for the catcache entry fetched. Instead of using a copy from the catcache, this changes the logic to fetch the copy of the tuple by directly scanning pg_database. Per the lack of complaints on the matter, no backpatch is done. Note that before 96cdeae, attempting to insert such a tuple to pg_database would cause a "row is too big" error, so the end-of-vacuum problem was not reachable.

2020-12-07Add a couple of regression test cases related to array subscripting.Tom Lane
Exercise some error cases that were never reached in the existing regression tests. This is partly for code-coverage reasons, and partly to memorialize the current behavior in advance of planned changes for generic subscripting. Also, I noticed that type_sanity's check to verify that all standard types have array types was never extended when we added arrays for all system catalog rowtypes (f7f70d5e2), nor when we added arrays over domain types (c12d570fa). So do that. Also, since the query's expected output isn't empty, it seems like a good idea to add an ORDER BY to make sure the result stays stable.
2020-12-07Fix more race conditions in the newly-added pg_rewind test.Heikki Linnakangas
pg_rewind looks at the control file to check what timeline a server is on. But promotion doesn't immediately write a checkpoint, it merely writes an end-of-recovery WAL record. If pg_rewind runs immediately after promotion, before the checkpoint has completed, it will think think that the server is still on the earlier timeline. We ran into this issue a long time ago already, see commit 484a848a73f. It's a bit bogus that pg_rewind doesn't determine the timeline correctly until the end-of-recovery checkpoint has completed. We probably should fix that. But for now work around it by waiting for the checkpoint to complete before running pg_rewind, like we did in commit 484a848a73f. In the passing, tidy up the new test a little bit. Rerder the INSERTs so that the comments make more sense, remove a spurious CHECKPOINT call after pg_rewind has already run, and add --debug option, so that if this fails again, we'll have more data.

2020-12-04Fix race conditions in newly-added test.Heikki Linnakangas
Buildfarm has been failing sporadically on the new test. I was able to reproduce this by adding a random 0-10 s delay in the walreceiver, just before it connects to the primary. There's a race condition where node_3 is promoted before it has fully caught up with node_1, leading to diverged timelines. When node_1 is later reconfigured as standby following node_3, it fails to catch up: LOG: primary server contains no more WAL on requested timeline 1 LOG: new timeline 2 forked off current database system timeline 1 before current recovery point 0/30000A0 That's the situation where you'd need to use pg_rewind, but in this case it happens already when we are just setting up the actual pg_rewind scenario we want to test, so change the test so that it waits until node_3 is connected and fully caught up before promoting it, so that you get a clean, controlled failover. Also rewrite some of the comments, for clarity. The existing comments detailed what each step in the test did, but didn't give a good overview of the situation the steps were trying to create. For reasons I don't understand, the test setup had to be written slightly differently in 9.6 and 9.5 than in later versions. The 9.5/9.6 version needed node 1 to be reinitialized from backup, whereas in later versions it could be shut down and reconfigured to be a standby. But even 9.5 should support "clean switchover", where primary makes sure that pending WAL is replicated to standby on shutdown. It would be nice to figure out what's going on there, but that's independent of pg_rewind and the scenario that this test tests.

2020-12-04Change SHA2 implementation based on OpenSSL to use EVP digest routinesMichael Paquier
The use of low-level hash routines is not recommended by upstream OpenSSL since 2000, and pgcrypto already switched to EVP as of 5ff4a67. This takes advantage of the refactoring done in 87ae969 that has introduced the allocation and free routines for cryptographic hashes. Since 1.1.0, OpenSSL does not publish the contents of the cryptohash contexts, forcing any consumers to rely on OpenSSL for all allocations. Hence, the resource owner callback mechanism gains a new set of routines to track and free cryptohash contexts when using OpenSSL, preventing any risks of leaks in the backend. Nothing is needed in the frontend thanks to the refactoring of 87ae969, and the resowner knowledge is isolated into cryptohash_openssl.c. Note that this also fixes a failure with SCRAM authentication when using FIPS in OpenSSL, but as there have been few complaints about this problem and as this causes an ABI breakage, no backpatch is done.

2020-12-03Improve estimation of OR clauses using extended statistics.Dean Rasheed
Formerly we only applied extended statistics to an OR clause as part of the clauselist_selectivity() code path for an OR clause appearing in an implicitly-ANDed list of clauses. This meant that it could only use extended statistics if all sub-clauses of the OR clause were covered by a single extended statistics object. Instead, teach clause_selectivity() how to apply extended statistics to an OR clause by handling its ORed list of sub-clauses in a similar manner to an implicitly-ANDed list of sub-clauses, but with different combination rules. This allows one or more extended statistics objects to be used to estimate all or part of the list of sub-clauses. Any remaining sub-clauses are then treated as if they are independent. Additionally, to avoid double-application of extended statistics, this introduces "extended" versions of clause_selectivity() and clauselist_selectivity(), which include an option to ignore extended statistics. This replaces the old clauselist_selectivity_simple() function which failed to completely ignore extended statistics when called from the extended statistics code. A known limitation of the current infrastructure is that an AND clause under an OR clause is not treated as compatible with extended statistics (because we don't build RestrictInfos for such sub-AND clauses). Thus, for example, "(a=1 AND b=1) OR (a=2 AND b=2)" will currently be treated as two independent AND clauses (each of which may be estimated using extended statistics), but extended statistics will not currently be used to account for any possible overlap between those clauses. Improving that is left as a task for the future. Original patch by Tomas Vondra, with additional improvements by me. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20200113230008.g67iyk4cs3xbnjju@development

This benefits REINDEX for a potential backend-side filtering for collatable-sensitive indexes and TABLESPACE, while CLUSTER would benefit from the latter.

This commit changes restore_command from PGC_POSTMASTER to PGC_SIGHUP. As the side effect of this commit, restore_command can be reset to empty during archive recovery. In this setting, archive recovery tries to replay only WAL files available in pg_wal directory. This is the same behavior as when the command that always fails is specified in restore_command. Note that restore_command still must be specified (not empty) when starting archive recovery, even after applying this commit.

2020-12-02Move SHA2 routines to a new generic API layer for crypto hashesMichael Paquier
Two new routines to allocate a hash context and to free it are created, as these become necessary for the goal behind this refactoring: switch the all cryptohash implementations for OpenSSL to use EVP (for FIPS and also because upstream does not recommend the use of low-level cryptohash functions for 20 years). Note that OpenSSL hides the internals of cryptohash contexts since 1.1.0, so it is necessary to leave the allocation to OpenSSL itself, explaining the need for those two new routines. This part is going to require more work to properly track hash contexts with resource owners, but this not introduced here. Still, this refactoring makes the move possible. This reduces the number of routines for all SHA2 implementations from twelve (SHA{224,256,386,512} with init, update and final calls) to five (create, free, init, update and final calls) by incorporating the hash type directly into the hash context data. The new cryptohash routines are moved to a new file, called cryptohash.c for the fallback implementations, with SHA2 specifics becoming a part internal to src/common/. OpenSSL specifics are part of cryptohash_openssl.c. This infrastructure is usable for more hash types, like MD5 or HMAC. Any code paths using the internal SHA2 routines are adapted to report correctly errors, which are most of the changes of this commit. The zones mostly impacted are checksum manifests, libpq and SCRAM. Note that e21cbb4 was a first attempt to switch SHA2 to EVP, but it lacked the refactoring needed for libpq, as done here. This patch has been tested on Linux and Windows, with and without OpenSSL, and down to 1.0.1, the oldest version supported on HEAD.

2020-12-01Ensure that expandTableLikeClause() re-examines the same table.Tom Lane
As it stood, expandTableLikeClause() re-did the same relation_openrv call that transformTableLikeClause() had done. However there are scenarios where this would not find the same table as expected. We hold lock on the LIKE source table, so it can't be renamed or dropped, but another table could appear before it in the search path. This explains the odd behavior reported in bug #16758 when cloning a table as a temp table of the same name. This case worked as expected before commit 502898192 introduced the need to open the source table twice, so we should fix it. To make really sure we get the same table, let's re-open it by OID not name. That requires adding an OID field to struct TableLikeClause, which is a little nervous-making from an ABI standpoint, but as long as it's at the end I don't think there's any serious risk.

2020-11-29Fix recently-introduced breakage in psql's \connect command.Tom Lane
Through my misreading of what the existing code actually did, commits 85c54287a et al. broke psql's behavior for the case where "\c connstring" provides a password in the connstring. We should use that password in such a case, but as of 85c54287a we ignored it (and instead, prompted for a password).

Hence, back-patch the portions of 94929f1cf having to do with password management. In addition to fixing the introduced bug, this means that "\c -reuse-previous=on connstring" will allow re-use of an existing connection's password if the connstring doesn't change user/host/port. That didn't happen before, but it seems like a bug fix, and anyway I'm loath to have significant differences in this code across versions. Also fix an error with the same root cause about whether or not to override a connstring's setting of client_encoding.

2020-11-28Fix a recently-introduced race condition in LISTEN/NOTIFY handling.Tom Lane
Commit 566372b3d fixed some race conditions involving concurrent SimpleLruTruncate calls, but it introduced new ones in async.c. A newly-listening backend could attempt to read Notify SLRU pages that were in process of being truncated, possibly causing an error. Also, the QUEUE_TAIL pointer could become set to a value that's not equal to the queue position of any backend. While that's fairly harmless in v13 and up (thanks to commit 51004c717), in older branches it resulted in near-permanent disabling of the queue truncation logic, so that continued use of NOTIFY led to queue-fill warnings and eventual inability to send any more notifies. (A server restart is enough to make that go away, but it's still pretty unpleasant.) The core of the problem is confusion about whether QUEUE_TAIL represents the "logical" tail of the queue (i.e., the oldest still-interesting data) or the "physical" tail (the oldest data we've not yet truncated away). To fix, split that into two variables. QUEUE_TAIL regains its definition as the logical tail, and we introduce a new variable to track the oldest un-truncated page. Per report from Mikael Gustavsson. Like the previous patch, back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/1b8561412e8a4f038d7a491c8b922788@smhi.se
2020-11-27Fix CLUSTER progress reporting of number of blocks scanned.Fujii Masao
Previously pg_stat_progress_cluster view reported the current block number in heap scan as the number of heap blocks scanned (i.e., heap_blks_scanned). This reported number could be incorrect when synchronize_seqscans is enabled, because it allowed the heap scan to start at block in middle. This could result in wraparounds in the heap_blks_scanned column when the heap scan wrapped around. This commit fixes the bug by calculating the number of blocks from the block that the heap scan starts at to the current block in scan, and reporting that number in the heap_blks_scanned column. Also, in pg_stat_progress_cluster view, previously heap_blks_scanned could not reach heap_blks_total at the end of heap scan phase if the last pages scanned were empty. This commit fixes the bug by manually updating heap_blks_scanned to the same value as heap_blks_total when the heap scan phase finishes. Back-patch to v12 where pg_stat_progress_cluster view was introduced.

2020-11-27Use standard SIGTERM signal handler die() in test_shm_mq worker.Fujii Masao
Previously test_shm_mq worker used the stripped-down version of die() as the SIGTERM signal handler. This commit makes it use die(), instead, to simplify the code. In terms of the code, the difference between die() and the stripped-down version previously used is whether the signal handler directly may call ProcessInterrupts() or not. But this difference doesn't exist in a background worker because, in bgworker, DoingCommandRead flag will never be true and die() will never call ProcessInterrupts() directly. Therefore test_shm_mq worker can safely use die(), like other bgworker proceses (e.g., logical replication apply launcher or autoprewarm worker) currently do.

2020-11-27Use standard SIGHUP and SIGTERM signal handlers in worker_spi.Fujii Masao
Previously worker_spi used its custom signal handlers for SIGHUP and SIGTERM. This commit makes worker_spi use the standard signal handlers, to simplify the code. Note that die() is used as the standard SIGTERM signal handler in worker_spi instead of SignalHandlerForShutdownRequest() or bgworker_die(). Previously the exit handling was only able to exit from within the main loop, and not from within the backend code it calls. This is why die() needs to be used here, so worker_spi can respond to SIGTERM signal while it's executing a query. Maybe we can say that it's a bug that worker_spi could not respond to SIGTERM during query execution. But since worker_spi is a just example of the background worker code, we don't do the back-patch.

2020-11-27Fix replication of in-progress transactions in tablesync worker.Amit Kapila
Tablesync worker runs under a single transaction but in streaming mode, we were committing the transaction on stream_stop, stream_abort, and stream_commit. We need to avoid committing the transaction in a streaming mode in tablesync worker. In passing move the call to process_syncing_tables in apply_handle_stream_commit after clean up of stream files. This will allow clean up of files to happen before the exit of tablesync worker which would otherwise be handled by one of the proc exit routines.

2020-11-26Restore lock level to update statusFlagsAlvaro Herrera
Reverts 27838981be9d (some comments are kept). Per discussion, it does not seem safe to relax the lock level used for this; in order for it to be safe, there would have to be memory barriers between the point we set the flag and the point we set the trasaction Xid, which perhaps would not be so bad; but there would also have to be barriers at the readers' side, which from a performance perspective might be bad. Now maybe this analysis is wrong and it *is* safe for some reason, but proof of that is not trivial. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20201118190928.vnztes7c2sldu43a@alap3.anarazel.de
2020-11-26pg_stat_statements: Track number of times pgss entries were deallocated.Fujii Masao
If more distinct statements than pg_stat_statements.max are observed, pg_stat_statements entries about the least-executed statements are deallocated. This commit enables us to track the total number of times those entries were deallocated. That number can be viewed in the pg_stat_statements_info view that this commit adds. It's useful when tuning pg_stat_statements.max parameter. If it's high, i.e., the entries are deallocated very frequently, which might cause the performance regression and we can increase pg_stat_statements.max to avoid those frequent deallocations. The pg_stat_statements_info view is intended to display the statistics of pg_stat_statements module itself. Currently it has only one column "dealloc" indicating the number of times entries were deallocated. But an upcoming patch will add other columns (for example, the time at which pg_stat_statements statistics were last reset) into the view.

2020-11-25Avoid spurious waits in concurrent indexingAlvaro Herrera
In the various waiting phases of CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY (CIC) and REINDEX CONCURRENTLY (RC), we wait for other processes to release their snapshots; this is necessary in general for correctness. However, processes doing CIC in other tables cannot possibly affect CIC or RC done in "this" table, so we don't need to wait for those. This commit adds a flag in MyProc->statusFlags to indicate that the current process is doing CIC, so that other processes doing CIC or RC can ignore it when waiting. Note that this logic is only valid if the index does not access other tables. For simplicity we avoid setting the flag if the index has a column that's an expression, or has a WHERE predicate. (It is possible to have expressional or partial indexes that do not access other tables, but figuring that out would require more work.) This flag can potentially also be used by processes doing REINDEX CONCURRENTLY to be skipped; and by VACUUM to ignore processes in CIC or RC for the purposes of computing an Xmin. That's left for future commits.

2020-11-25In psql's \d commands, don't truncate attribute default values.Tom Lane
Historically, psql has truncated the text of a column's default expression at 128 characters. This is unlike any other behavior in describe.c, and it's become particularly confusing now that the limit is only applied to the expression proper and not to the "generated always as (...) stored" text that may get wrapped around it. Excavation in our git history suggests that the original motivation for this limit was not really to limit the display width (as I'd long supposed), but to make it safe to use a fixed-width output buffer to store the result. That implementation restriction is long gone of course, but the limit remained. Let's just get rid of it. While here, rearrange the logic about when to free the output string so that it's not so dependent on unstated assumptions about the possible values of attidentity and attgenerated. Per bug #16743 from David Turon. Back-patch to v12 where GENERATED came in. (Arguably we could take it back further, but I'm hesitant to change the behavior of long-stable branches for this.)

2020-11-25Avoid spamming the client with multiple ParameterStatus messages.Tom Lane
Up to now, we sent a ParameterStatus message to the client immediately upon any change in the active value of any GUC_REPORT variable. This was only barely okay when the feature was designed; now that we have things like function SET clauses, there are very plausible use-cases where a GUC_REPORT variable might change many times within a query --- and even end up back at its original value, perhaps. Fortunately most of our GUC_REPORT variables are unlikely to be changed often; but there are proposals in play to enlarge that set, or even make it user-configurable. Hence, let's fix things to not generate more than one ParameterStatus message per variable per query, and to not send any message at all unless the end-of-query value is different from what we last reported.
