2023-12-29Make all Perl warnings fatalPeter Eisentraut
There are a lot of Perl scripts in the tree, mostly code generation and TAP tests. Occasionally, these scripts produce warnings. These are probably always mistakes on the developer side (true positives). Typical examples are warnings from genbki.pl or related when you make a mess in the catalog files during development, or warnings from tests when they massage a config file that looks different on different hosts, or mistakes during merges (e.g., duplicate subroutine definitions), or just mistakes that weren't noticed because there is a lot of output in a verbose build. This changes all warnings into fatal errors, by replacing use warnings; by use warnings FATAL => 'all'; in all Perl files.

2023-12-29In pg_dump, don't dump a stats object unless dumping underlying table.Tom Lane
If the underlying table isn't being dumped, it's useless to dump an extended statistics object; it'll just cause errors at restore. We have always applied similar policies to, say, indexes. (When and if we get cross-table stats objects, it might be profitable to think a little harder about what to do with them. But for now there seems no point in considering a stats object as anything but an appendage of its table.) Rian McGuire and Tom Lane, per report from Rian McGuire. Back-patch to supported branches.

2023-12-27Improve the implementation of information_schema._pg_expandarray().Tom Lane
This function was originally coded with a handmade expansion of the array subscripts. We can do it a little faster and far more legibly today, by using unnest() WITH ORDINALITY. While at it, let's apply the rowcount estimation support that exists for the underlying unnest() function: reduce the default ROWS estimate to 100 and attach array_unnest_support. I'm not sure that array_unnest_support can do anything useful today with the call sites that exist in information_schema, but it can't hurt, and the existing default rowcount of 1000 is surely much too high for any of these cases. The psql.sql regression script is using _pg_expandarray() as a test case for \sf+. While we could keep doing so, the new one-line function body makes a poor test case for \sf+ row-numbering, so switch it to print another information_schema function.

2023-12-27Fix another incorrect data type choice from commit dc2123400.Tom Lane
add_file_to_manifest declared its mtime argument as pg_time_t, apparently on the principle that copy-and-paste from the backend is fine. However, the callers are passing struct stat's st_mtime field which is plain time_t, and add_file_to_manifest itself is passing the value to gmtime(3) which expects plain time_t, so the whole thing would not work at all on any platform where those types are different. Fortunately we can just switch this variable to time_t. Per warnings from assorted buildfarm members.

2023-12-27Fix a warning in Perl test codePeter Eisentraut
The code was passing a scalar argument to node->restart(), but it was expecting a hash, which causes a warning from Perl ("Odd number of elements in hash assignment"). But the node->restart() function doesn't take a mode argument anyway. This was probably copied from an incorrect comment (see commit 750c59d7ec). The default restart mode is already "fast", so the test should still be semantically correct without explicitly specifying the mode.

2023-12-27Fix incorrect data type choices in some read and write calls.Tom Lane
Recently-introduced code in reconstruct.c was using "unsigned" to store the result of read(), pg_pread(), or write(). This is completely bogus: it breaks subsequent tests for the result being negative, as we're being reminded of by a chorus of buildfarm warnings. Switch to "int" as was doubtless intended. (There are several other uses of "unsigned" in this file that also look poorly chosen to me, but for now I'm just trying to clean up the buildfarm.) A larger problem is that "int" is not necessarily wide enough to hold the result: per POSIX, all these functions return ssize_t. In places where the requested read or write length clearly fits in int, that's academic. It may be academic anyway as long as we constrain individual data files to 1GB, since even a readv or writev-like operation would then not be responsible for transferring more than 1GB. Nonetheless it seems like trouble waiting to happen, so I made a pass over readv and writev calls and fixed the result variables where that seemed appropriate. We might want to think about changing some of the fd.c functions to return ssize_t too, for future-proofing; but I didn't tackle that here.

2023-12-27Initialize variable to placate compiler.Robert Haas
I don't think there's a real problem here, because if we reach the loop over 'tles' then we will either find at least one TimeLineHistoryEntry such that oldest_segno != 0, in which case unsummarized_lsn will be initialized, or else unsummarized_tli will remain 0 and an error will occur before unsummarized_lsn is used for anything.

2023-12-27Improvements and fixes for e0b1ee17dcAlexander Korotkov
e0b1ee17dc introduced optimization for matching B-tree scan keys required for the directional scan. However, it incorrectly assumed that all keys required for opposite direction scan are satisfied by _bt_first(). It has been illustrated that with multiple scan keys over the same column, a lesser one (according to the scan direction) could win leaving the other one unsatisfied. Instead of relying on _bt_first() this commit introduces code that memorizes whether there was at least one match on the page. If that's true we know that keys required for opposite-direction scan are satisfied as soon as corresponding values are not NULLs. Also, this commit simplifies the description for the optimization of keys required for the current direction scan. Now the flag used for this is named continuescanPrechecked and means exactly that *continuescan flag is known to be true for the last item on the page.

2023-12-26Fix failure to verify PGC_[SU_]BACKEND GUCs in pg_file_settings view.Tom Lane
set_config_option() bails out early if it detects that the option to be set is PGC_BACKEND or PGC_SU_BACKEND class and we're reading the config file in a postmaster child; we don't want to apply any new value in such a case. That's fine as far as it goes, but it fails to consider the requirements of the pg_file_settings view: for that, we need to check validity of the value even though we have no intention to apply it. Because we didn't, even very silly values for affected GUCs would be reported as valid by the view. There are only half a dozen such GUCs, which perhaps explains why this got overlooked for so long. Fix by continuing when changeVal is false; this parallels the logic in some other early-exit paths. Also, the check added by commit 924bcf4f1 to prevent GUC changes in parallel workers seems a few bricks shy of a load: it's evidently assuming that ereport(elevel, ...) won't return. Make sure we bail out if it does. The lack of trouble reports suggests that this is only a latent bug, i.e. parallel workers don't actually reach here with elevel < ERROR. (Per the code coverage report, we never reach here at all in the regression suite.) But we clearly don't want to risk proceeding if that does happen. Per report from Rıdvan Korkmaz. These are ancient bugs, so back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/2089235.1703617353@sss.pgh.pa.us

2023-12-26Hide warnings from Python headers when using gcc-compatible compiler.Tom Lane
Like commit 388e80132, use "#pragma GCC system_header" to silence warnings appearing within the Python headers, since newer Python versions no longer worry about some restrictions we still use like -Wdeclaration-after-statement. This patch improves on 388e80132 by inventing a separate wrapper header file, allowing the pragma to be tightly scoped to just the Python headers and not other stuff we have laying about in plpython.h. I applied the same technique to plperl for the same reason: the original patch suppressed warnings for a good deal of our own code, not only the Perl headers.

2023-12-24Enhance checkpointer restartpoint statisticsAlexander Korotkov
Bhis commit introduces enhancements to the pg_stat_checkpointer view by adding three new columns: restartpoints_timed, restartpoints_req, and restartpoints_done. These additions aim to improve the visibility and monitoring of restartpoint processes on replicas. Previously, it was challenging to differentiate between successful and failed restartpoint requests. This limitation arises because restartpoints on replicas are dependent on checkpoint records from the primary, and cannot occur more frequently than these checkpoints. The new columns allow for clear distinction and tracking of restartpoint requests, their triggers, and successful completions. This enhancement aids database administrators and developers in better understanding and diagnosing issues related to restartpoint behavior, particularly in scenarios where restartpoint requests may fail.

2023-12-23Set readline-relevant ENV vars in interactive_psql(), not caller.Tom Lane
Commit 664d75753 pulled 010_tab_completion.pl's infrastructure for invoking an interactive psql session out into a generally-useful test function, but it didn't move enough stuff. We need to set up various environment variables that readline will look at, both to ensure stability of test results and to prevent test actions from cluttering the calling user's ~/.psql_history. Expecting calling scripts to remember to do that is too failure-prone: the other existing caller 001_password.pl did not do it. Hence, remove those initialization steps from 010_tab_completion.pl and put them into interactive_psql(). Since interactive_psql was already making a local ENV hash, this has no effect on calling scripts. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/794610.1703182896@sss.pgh.pa.us

Up to now, our distribution tarballs have included a plain-text form of the installation.sgml chapter. The rationale for that was that a recipient might not have either ready internet access or HTML-viewing tools; a theory that seems downright quaint today. Maintaining the ability to generate this file is not without cost, because it puts special requirements on installation.sgml that are often overlooked. Moreover, we are moving in the direction of making our distribution tarballs be pure git snapshots for traceability/reproducibility reasons; including generated files doesn't fit into that plan. Hence, let's just drop INSTALL and remove the infrastructure for generating it. The top-level README will now recommend visiting our website to see the installation instructions.

This is necessary when spgcanreturn() is invoked on a partitioned index, and the failure might be reachable in other scenarios as well.

Therefore, I added simple test cases for brin and gin as well as spgist (hash and gist AMs were covered already in indexing.sql). Per bug #18256 from Alexander Lakhin.

2023-12-21Fix BEFORE ROW trigger handling in cross-partition MERGE update.Dean Rasheed
Fix a bug during MERGE if a cross-partition update is attempted on a partitioned table with a BEFORE DELETE ROW trigger that returns NULL, to prevent the update. This would cause an error to be thrown, or an assert failure in an assert-enabled build. This was an oversight in 9321c79c86, which failed to properly distinguish a DELETE prevented by a trigger from one prevented by a concurrent update. Fix by having ExecDelete() return the TM_Result status to ExecCrossPartitionUpdate(), so that it can distinguish the two cases, and make ExecCrossPartitionUpdate() return the TM_Result status to ExecUpdateAct(), so that it can return the correct status from a concurrent update. In addition, ensure that the command tag is correctly updated by having ExecMergeMatched() pass canSetTag to ExecUpdateAct(), rather than passing false, so that it updates the command tag if it does a cross-partition update, making this code path in ExecMergeMatched() consistent with ExecUpdate().

2023-12-20Add support for incremental backup.Robert Haas
To take an incremental backup, you use the new replication command UPLOAD_MANIFEST to upload the manifest for the prior backup. This prior backup could either be a full backup or another incremental backup. You then use BASE_BACKUP with the INCREMENTAL option to take the backup. pg_basebackup now has an --incremental=PATH_TO_MANIFEST option to trigger this behavior. An incremental backup is like a regular full backup except that some relation files are replaced with files with names like INCREMENTAL.${ORIGINAL_NAME}, and the backup_label file contains additional lines identifying it as an incremental backup. The new pg_combinebackup tool can be used to reconstruct a data directory from a full backup and a series of incremental backups. Patch by me.

2023-12-20Add a new WAL summarizer process.Robert Haas
When active, this process writes WAL summary files to $PGDATA/pg_wal/summaries. Each summary file contains information for a certain range of LSNs on a certain TLI. For each relation, it stores a "limit block" which is 0 if a relation is created or destroyed within a certain range of WAL records, or otherwise the shortest length to which the relation was truncated during that range of WAL records, or otherwise InvalidBlockNumber. In addition, it stores a list of blocks which have been modified during that range of WAL records, but excluding blocks which were removed by truncation after they were modified and never subsequently modified again. In other words, it tells us which blocks need to copied in case of an incremental backup covering that range of WAL records. But this doesn't yet add the capability to actually perform an incremental backup; the next patch will do that. A new parameter summarize_wal enables or disables this new background process. The background process also automatically deletes summary files that are older than wal_summarize_keep_time, if that parameter has a non-zero value and the summarizer is configured to run.
