2023-04-08Handle logical slot conflicts on standbyAndres Freund
During WAL replay on the standby, when a conflict with a logical slot is identified, invalidate such slots. There are two sources of conflicts: 1) Using the information added in 6af1793954e, logical slots are invalidated if required rows are removed 2) wal_level on the primary server is reduced to below logical Uses the infrastructure introduced in the prior commit. FIXME: add commit reference. Change InvalidatePossiblyObsoleteSlot() to use a recovery conflict to interrupt use of a slot, if called in the startup process. The new recovery conflict is added to pg_stat_database_conflicts, as confl_active_logicalslot. See 6af1793954e for an overall design of logical decoding on a standby. Bumps catversion for the addition of the pg_stat_database_conflicts column. Bumps PGSTAT_FILE_FORMAT_ID for the same reason.

2023-04-03When using valgrind, log the current query after an error is detected.Tom Lane
In USE_VALGRIND builds, add code to print the text of the current query to the valgrind log whenever the valgrind error count has increased during the query. Valgrind will already have printed its report, if the error is distinct from ones already seen, so that this works out fairly well as a way of annotating the log.

2023-03-29Simplify useless 0L constantsPeter Eisentraut
In ancient times, these belonged to arguments or fields that were actually of type long, but now they are not anymore, so this "L" decoration is just confusing. (Some other 0L and other "L" constants remain, where they are actually associated with a long type.)
2023-03-25Fix CREATE INDEX progress reporting for multi-level partitioning.Tom Lane
The "partitions_total" and "partitions_done" fields were updated as though the current level of partitioning was the only one. In multi-level cases, not only could partitions_total change over the course of the command, but partitions_done could go backwards or exceed the currently-reported partitions_total. Fix by setting partitions_total to the total number of direct and indirect children once at command start, and then just incrementing partitions_done at appropriate points. Invent a new progress monitoring function "pgstat_progress_incr_param" to simplify doing the latter. We can avoid adding cost for the former when doing CREATE INDEX, because ProcessUtility already enumerates the children and it's pretty easy to pass the count down to DefineIndex. In principle the same could be done in ALTER TABLE, but that's structurally difficult; for now, just eat the cost of an extra find_all_inheritors scan in that case.

2023-02-20Speedup and increase usability of set proc title functionsDavid Rowley
The setting of the process title could be seen on profiles of very fast-to-execute queries. In many locations where we call set_ps_display() we pass along a string constant, the length of which is known during compilation. Here we effectively rename set_ps_display() to set_ps_display_with_len() and then add a static inline function named set_ps_display() which calls strlen() on the given string. This allows the compiler to optimize away the strlen() call when dealing with call sites passing a string constant. We can then also use memcpy() instead of strlcpy() to copy the string into the destination buffer. That's significantly faster than strlcpy's byte-at-a-time way of copying. Here we also take measures to improve some code which was adjusting the process title to add a " waiting" suffix to it. Call sites which require this can now just call set_ps_display_suffix() to add or adjust the suffix and call set_ps_display_remove_suffix() to remove it again.

2023-02-02Retire PG_SETMASK() macro.Thomas Munro
In the 90s we needed to deal with computers that still had the pre-standard signal masking APIs. That hasn't been relevant for a very long time on Unix systems, and c94ae9d8 got rid of a remaining dependency in our Windows porting code. PG_SETMASK didn't expose save/restore functionality, so we'd already started using sigprocmask() directly in places, creating the visual distraction of having two ways to spell it. It's not part of the API that extensions are expected to be using (but if they are, the change will be trivial). It seems like a good time to drop the old macro and just call the standard POSIX function.

2023-01-12Use WaitEventSet API for postmaster's event loop.Thomas Munro
Switch to a design similar to regular backends, instead of the previous arrangement where signal handlers did non-trivial state management and called fork(). The main changes are: * The postmaster now has its own local latch to wait on. (For now, we don't want other backends setting its latch directly, but that could probably be made to work with more research on robustness.) * The existing signal handlers are cut in two: a handle_pm_XXX() part that just sets pending_pm_XXX flags and the latch, and a process_pm_XXX() part that runs later when the latch is seen. * Signal handlers are now installed with the regular pqsignal() function rather than the special pqsignal_pm() function; historical portability concerns about the effect of SA_RESTART on select() are no longer relevant, and we don't need to block signals anymore.

2023-01-09Perform apply of large transactions by parallel workers.Amit Kapila
Currently, for large transactions, the publisher sends the data in multiple streams (changes divided into chunks depending upon logical_decoding_work_mem), and then on the subscriber-side, the apply worker writes the changes into temporary files and once it receives the commit, it reads from those files and applies the entire transaction. To improve the performance of such transactions, we can instead allow them to be applied via parallel workers. In this approach, we assign a new parallel apply worker (if available) as soon as the xact's first stream is received and the leader apply worker will send changes to this new worker via shared memory. The parallel apply worker will directly apply the change instead of writing it to temporary files. However, if the leader apply worker times out while attempting to send a message to the parallel apply worker, it will switch to "partial serialize" mode - in this mode, the leader serializes all remaining changes to a file and notifies the parallel apply workers to read and apply them at the end of the transaction. We use a non-blocking way to send the messages from the leader apply worker to the parallel apply to avoid deadlocks. We keep this parallel apply assigned till the transaction commit is received and also wait for the worker to finish at commit. This preserves commit ordering and avoid writing to and reading from files in most cases. We still need to spill if there is no worker available. This patch also extends the SUBSCRIPTION 'streaming' parameter so that the user can control whether to apply the streaming transaction in a parallel apply worker or spill the change to disk. The user can set the streaming parameter to 'on/off', or 'parallel'. The parameter value 'parallel' means the streaming will be applied via a parallel apply worker, if available. The parameter value 'on' means the streaming transaction will be spilled to disk. The default value is 'off' (same as current behaviour). In addition, the patch extends the logical replication STREAM_ABORT message so that abort_lsn and abort_time can also be sent which can be used to update the replication origin in parallel apply worker when the streaming transaction is aborted. Because this message extension is needed to support parallel streaming, parallel streaming is not supported for publications on servers < PG16.

2022-12-15Speed up creation of command completion tagsDavid Rowley
The building of command completion tags could often be seen showing up in profiles when running high tps workloads. The query completion tags were being built with snprintf, which is slow at the best of times when compared with more manual ways of formatting strings. Here we introduce BuildQueryCompletionString() to do this job for us. We also now store the completion tag's strlen in the CommandTagBehavior struct so that we can quickly memcpy this number of bytes into the completion tag string. Appending the rows affected is done via pg_ulltoa_n. BuildQueryCompletionString returns the length of the built string. This saves us having to call strlen to figure out how many bytes to pass to pq_putmessage().

2022-12-13Rethink handling of [Prevent|Is]InTransactionBlock in pipeline mode.Tom Lane
Commits f92944137 et al. made IsInTransactionBlock() set the XACT_FLAGS_NEEDIMMEDIATECOMMIT flag before returning "false", on the grounds that that kept its API promises equivalent to those of PreventInTransactionBlock(). This turns out to be a bad idea though, because it allows an ANALYZE in a pipelined series of commands to cause an immediate commit, which is unexpected. Furthermore, if we return "false" then we have another issue, which is that ANALYZE will decide it's allowed to do internal commit-and-start-transaction sequences, thus possibly unexpectedly committing the effects of previous commands in the pipeline. To fix the latter situation, invent another transaction state flag XACT_FLAGS_PIPELINING, which explicitly records the fact that we have executed some extended-protocol command and not yet seen a commit for it. Then, require that flag to not be set before allowing InTransactionBlock() to return "false". Having done that, we can remove its setting of NEEDIMMEDIATECOMMIT without fear of causing problems. This means that the API guarantees of IsInTransactionBlock now diverge from PreventInTransactionBlock, which is mildly annoying, but it seems OK given the very limited usage of IsInTransactionBlock. (In any case, a caller preferring the old behavior could always set NEEDIMMEDIATECOMMIT for itself.) For consistency also require XACT_FLAGS_PIPELINING to not be set in PreventInTransactionBlock. This too is meant to prevent commands such as CREATE DATABASE from silently committing previous commands in a pipeline. Per report from Peter Eisentraut.

2022-10-14Store GUC data in a memory context, instead of using malloc().Tom Lane
The only real argument for using malloc directly was that we needed the ability to not throw error on OOM; but mcxt.c grew that feature awhile ago. Keeping the data in a memory context improves accountability and debuggability --- for example, without this it's almost impossible to detect memory leaks in the GUC code with anything less costly than valgrind. Moreover, the next patch in this series will add a hash table for GUC lookup, and it'd be pretty silly to be using palloc-dependent hash facilities alongside malloc'd storage of the underlying data. This is a bit invasive though, in particular causing an API break for GUC check hooks that want to modify the GUC's value or use an "extra" data structure. They must now use guc_malloc() and guc_free() instead of malloc() and free(). Failure to change affected code will result in assertion failures or worse; but thanks to recent effort in the mcxt infrastructure, it shouldn't be too hard to diagnose such oversights (at least in assert-enabled builds). One note is that this changes ParseLongOption() to return short-lived palloc'd not malloc'd data. There wasn't any caller for which the previous definition was better.

2022-09-22meson: Add initial version of meson based build systemAndres Freund
Autoconf is showing its age, fewer and fewer contributors know how to wrangle it. Recursive make has a lot of hard to resolve dependency issues and slow incremental rebuilds. Our home-grown MSVC build system is hard to maintain for developers not using Windows and runs tests serially. While these and other issues could individually be addressed with incremental improvements, together they seem best addressed by moving to a more modern build system. After evaluating different build system choices, we chose to use meson, to a good degree based on the adoption by other open source projects. We decided that it's more realistic to commit a relatively early version of the new build system and mature it in tree. This commit adds an initial version of a meson based build system. It supports building postgres on at least AIX, FreeBSD, Linux, macOS, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris and Windows (however only gcc is supported on aix, solaris). For Windows/MSVC postgres can now be built with ninja (faster, particularly for incremental builds) and msbuild (supporting the visual studio GUI, but building slower). Several aspects (e.g. Windows rc file generation, PGXS compatibility, LLVM bitcode generation, documentation adjustments) are done in subsequent commits requiring further review. Other aspects (e.g. not installing test-only extensions) are not yet addressed. When building on Windows with msbuild, builds are slower when using a visual studio version older than 2019, because those versions do not support MultiToolTask, required by meson for intra-target parallelism. The plan is to remove the MSVC specific build system in src/tools/msvc soon after reaching feature parity. However, we're not planning to remove the autoconf/make build system in the near future. Likely we're going to keep at least the parts required for PGXS to keep working around until all supported versions build with meson.

2022-09-13Split up guc.c for better build speed and ease of maintenance.Tom Lane
guc.c has grown to be one of our largest .c files, making it a bottleneck for compilation. It's also acquired a bunch of knowledge that'd be better kept elsewhere, because of our not very good habit of putting variable-specific check hooks here. Hence, split it up along these lines: * guc.c itself retains just the core GUC housekeeping mechanisms. * New file guc_funcs.c contains the SET/SHOW interfaces and some SQL-accessible functions for GUC manipulation. * New file guc_tables.c contains the data arrays that define the built-in GUC variables, along with some already-exported constant tables. * GUC check/assign/show hook functions are moved to the variable's home module, whenever that's clearly identifiable. A few hard- to-classify hooks ended up in commands/variable.c, which was already a home for miscellaneous GUC hook functions. To avoid cluttering a lot more header files with #include "guc.h", I also invented a new header file utils/guc_hooks.h and put all the GUC hook functions' declarations there, regardless of their originating module. That allowed removal of #include "guc.h" from some existing headers. The fallout from that (hopefully all caught here) demonstrates clearly why such inclusions are best minimized: there are a lot of files that, for example, were getting array.h at two or more levels of remove, despite not having any connection at all to GUCs in themselves. There is some very minor code beautification here, such as renaming a couple of inconsistently-named hook functions and improving some comments. But mostly this just moves code from point A to point B and deals with the ensuing needs for #include adjustments and exporting a few functions that previously weren't exported. Patch by me, per a suggestion from Andres Freund; thanks also to Michael Paquier for the idea to invent guc_funcs.c. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/587607.1662836699@sss.pgh.pa.us

2022-07-26Force immediate commit after CREATE DATABASE etc in extended protocol.Tom Lane
We have a few commands that "can't run in a transaction block", meaning that if they complete their processing but then we fail to COMMIT, we'll be left with inconsistent on-disk state. However, the existing defenses for this are only watertight for simple query protocol. In extended protocol, we didn't commit until receiving a Sync message. Since the client is allowed to issue another command instead of Sync, we're in trouble if that command fails or is an explicit ROLLBACK. In any case, sitting in an inconsistent state while waiting for a client message that might not come seems pretty risky. This case wasn't reachable via libpq before we introduced pipeline mode, but it's always been an intended aspect of extended query protocol, and likely there are other clients that could reach it before. To fix, set a flag in PreventInTransactionBlock that tells exec_execute_message to force an immediate commit. This seems to be the approach that does least damage to existing working cases while still preventing the undesirable outcomes. While here, add some documentation to protocol.sgml that explicitly says how to use pipelining. That's latent in the existing docs if you know what to look for, but it's better to spell it out; and it provides a place to document this new behavior. Per bug #17434 from Yugo Nagata.

2022-07-25Process session_preload_libraries within InitPostgres's transaction.Tom Lane
Previously we did this after InitPostgres, at a somewhat randomly chosen place within PostgresMain. However, since commit a0ffa885e doing this outside a transaction can cause a crash, if we need to check permissions while replacing a placeholder GUC. (Besides which, a preloaded library could itself want to do database access within _PG_init.) To avoid needing an additional transaction start/end in every session, move the process_session_preload_libraries call to within InitPostgres's transaction. That requires teaching the code not to call it when InitPostgres is called from somewhere other than PostgresMain, since we don't want session_preload_libraries to affect background workers. The most future-proof solution here seems to be to add an additional flag parameter to InitPostgres; fortunately, we're not yet very worried about API stability for v15. Doing this also exposed the fact that we're currently honoring session_preload_libraries in walsenders, even those not connected to any database. This seems, at minimum, a POLA violation: walsenders are not interactive sessions. Let's stop doing that. (All these comments also apply to local_preload_libraries, of course.)

2022-07-20Process shared_preload_libraries in single-user mode.Jeff Davis
Without processing shared_preload_libraries, it's impossible to recover if custom WAL resource managers are needed. It may also pose a problem running VACUUM on a table with a custom AM, if the module implementing the AM is expecting to be loaded by shared_preload_libraries. The reason this wasn't done before was just the general principle to do fewer things in single-user mode. But it's easy enough to just set shared_preload_libraries to empty, for the same effect.

2022-07-08Remove HP/Intel Itanium support.Thomas Munro
This CPU architecture has been discontinued. We already removed HP-UX support, we never supported Windows/Itanium, and the open source operating systems that a vintage hardware owner might hope to run have all either ended Itanium support or never fully released support (NetBSD may eventually). The extra code we carry for this rare ISA is now untested. It seems like a good time to remove it.

2022-07-05pgstat: reduce timer overhead by leaving timer running.Andres Freund
Previously the timer was enabled whenever there were any pending stats after executing a statement, just to then be disabled again when not idle anymore. That lead to an increase in GetCurrentTimestamp() calls from within timeout.c compared to 14. To avoid that increase, leave the timer enabled until stats are reported, rather than until idle. The timer is only disabled once the pending stats have been reported. For me this fixes the increase in GetCurrentTimestamp() calls, there now are fewer calls in 15 than in 14, in the previously slowed down workload. While at it, also update assertion in pgstat_report_stat() to be more precise.

2022-04-07pgstat: store statistics in shared memory.Andres Freund
Previously the statistics collector received statistics updates via UDP and shared statistics data by writing them out to temporary files regularly. These files can reach tens of megabytes and are written out up to twice a second. This has repeatedly prevented us from adding additional useful statistics. Now statistics are stored in shared memory. Statistics for variable-numbered objects are stored in a dshash hashtable (backed by dynamic shared memory). Fixed-numbered stats are stored in plain shared memory. The header for pgstat.c contains an overview of the architecture. The stats collector is not needed anymore, remove it. By utilizing the transactional statistics drop infrastructure introduced in a prior commit statistics entries cannot "leak" anymore. Previously leaked statistics were dropped by pgstat_vacuum_stat(), called from [auto-]vacuum. On systems with many small relations pgstat_vacuum_stat() could be quite expensive. Now that replicas drop statistics entries for dropped objects, it is not necessary anymore to reset stats when starting from a cleanly shut down replica. Subsequent commits will perform some further code cleanup, adapt docs and add tests. Bumps PGSTAT_FILE_FORMAT_ID.

2022-03-28Add support for MERGE SQL commandAlvaro Herrera
MERGE performs actions that modify rows in the target table using a source table or query. MERGE provides a single SQL statement that can conditionally INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE rows -- a task that would otherwise require multiple PL statements. For example, MERGE INTO target AS t USING source AS s ON t.tid = s.sid WHEN MATCHED AND t.balance > s.delta THEN UPDATE SET balance = t.balance - s.delta WHEN MATCHED THEN DELETE WHEN NOT MATCHED AND s.delta > 0 THEN INSERT VALUES (s.sid, s.delta) WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN DO NOTHING; MERGE works with regular tables, partitioned tables and inheritance hierarchies, including column and row security enforcement, as well as support for row and statement triggers and transition tables therein. MERGE is optimized for OLTP and is parameterizable, though also useful for large scale ETL/ELT. MERGE is not intended to be used in preference to existing single SQL commands for INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE since there is some overhead. MERGE can be used from PL/pgSQL. MERGE does not support targetting updatable views or foreign tables, and RETURNING clauses are not allowed either. These limitations are likely fixable with sufficient effort. Rewrite rules are also not supported, but it's not clear that we'd want to support them.

This new function extracts common code from PrepareQuery() and exec_parse_message(). It is then exactly analogous to the existing pg_analyze_and_rewrite_fixedparams() and pg_analyze_and_rewrite_withcb(). To unify these two code paths, this makes PrepareQuery() now subject to log_parser_stats. Also, both paths now invoke TRACE_POSTGRESQL_QUERY_REWRITE_START(). PrepareQuery() no longer checks whether a utility statement was specified. The grammar doesn't allow that anyway, and exec_parse_message() supports it, so restricting it doesn't seem necessary.

2022-03-04Parse/analyze function renamingPeter Eisentraut
There are three parallel ways to call parse/analyze: with fixed parameters, with variable parameters, and by supplying your own parser callback. Some of the involved functions were confusingly named and made this API structure more confusing. This patch renames some functions to make this clearer: parse_analyze() -> parse_analyze_fixedparams() pg_analyze_and_rewrite() -> pg_analyze_and_rewrite_fixedparams() (Otherwise one might think this variant doesn't accept parameters, but in fact all three ways accept parameters.) pg_analyze_and_rewrite_params() -> pg_analyze_and_rewrite_withcb() (Before, and also when considering pg_analyze_and_rewrite(), one might think this is the only way to pass parameters. Moreover, the parser callback doesn't necessarily need to parse only parameters, it's just one of the things it could do.) parse_fixed_parameters() -> setup_parse_fixed_parameters() parse_variable_parameters() -> setup_parse_variable_parameters() (These functions don't actually do any parsing, they just set up callbacks to use during parsing later.) This patch also adds some const decorations to the fixed-parameters API, so the distinction from the variable-parameters API is more clear.

2022-02-28Fix SPI's handling of errors during transaction commit.Tom Lane
SPI_commit previously left it up to the caller to recover from any error occurring during commit. Since that's complicated and requires use of low-level xact.c facilities, it's not too surprising that no caller got it right. Let's move the responsibility for cleanup into spi.c. Doing that requires redefining SPI_commit as starting a new transaction, so that it becomes equivalent to SPI_commit_and_chain except that you get default transaction characteristics instead of preserving the prior transaction's characteristics. We can make this pretty transparent API-wise by redefining SPI_start_transaction() as a no-op. Callers that expect to do something in between might be surprised, but available evidence is that no callers do so. Having made that API redefinition, we can fix this mess by having SPI_commit[_and_chain] trap errors and start a new, clean transaction before re-throwing the error. Likewise for SPI_rollback[_and_chain]. Some cleanup is also needed in AtEOXact_SPI, which was nowhere near smart enough to deal with SPI contexts nested inside a committing context. While plperl and pltcl need no changes beyond removing their now-useless SPI_start_transaction() calls, plpython needs some more work because it hadn't gotten the memo about catching commit/rollback errors in the first place. Such an error resulted in longjmp'ing out of the Python interpreter, which leaks Python stack entries at present and is reported to crash Python 3.11 altogether. Add the missing logic to catch such errors and convert them into Python exceptions. We are probably going to have to back-patch this once Python 3.11 ships, but it's a sufficiently basic change that I'm a bit nervous about doing so immediately. Let's let it bake awhile in HEAD first.

2022-02-18Suppress warning about stack_base_ptr with late-model GCC.Tom Lane
GCC 12 complains that set_stack_base is storing the address of a local variable in a long-lived pointer. This is an entirely reasonable warning (indeed, it just helped us find a bug); but that behavior is intentional here. We can work around it by using __builtin_frame_address(0) instead of a specific local variable; that produces an address a dozen or so bytes different, in my testing, but we don't care about such a small difference. Maybe someday a compiler lacking that function will start to issue a similar warning, but we'll worry about that when it happens. Patch by me, per a suggestion from Andres Freund. Back-patch to v12, which is as far back as the patch will go without some pain. (Recently-established project policy would permit a back-patch as far as 9.2, but I'm disinclined to expend the work until GCC 12 is much more widespread.)
