* Remove unused #include's from backend .c filesPeter Eisentraut2024-03-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | as determined by include-what-you-use (IWYU) While IWYU also suggests to *add* a bunch of #include's (which is its main purpose), this patch does not do that. In some cases, a more specific #include replaces another less specific one. Some manual adjustments of the automatic result: - IWYU currently doesn't know about includes that provide global variable declarations (like -Wmissing-variable-declarations), so those includes are being kept manually. - All includes for port(ability) headers are being kept for now, to play it safe. - No changes of catalog/pg_foo.h to catalog/pg_foo_d.h, to keep the patch from exploding in size. Note that this patch touches just *.c files, so nothing declared in header files changes in hidden ways. As a small example, in src/backend/access/transam/rmgr.c, some IWYU pragma annotations are added to handle a special case there.

* Fix broken Bitmapset optimization in DiscreteKnapsack()David Rowley2024-01-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some code in DiscreteKnapsack() attempted to zero all words in a Bitmapset by performing bms_del_members() to delete all the members from itself before replacing those members with members from another set. When that code was written, this was a valid way to manipulate the set in such a way to save from palloc having to be called to allocate a new Bitmapset. However, 00b41463c modified Bitmapsets so that an empty set is *always* represented as NULL and this breaks the optimization as the Bitmapset code will always pfree the memory when the set becomes empty. Since DiscreteKnapsack() has been coded to avoid as many unneeded allocations as possible, it seems risky to not fix this. Here we add bms_replace_members() to effectively perform an in-place copy of another set, reusing the memory of the existing set, when possible. This got broken in v16, but no backpatch for now as there've been no complaints.

* Remove some inappropriate #includes.Tom Lane2018-02-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | Other header files should never #include postgres.h (nor postgres_fe.h, nor c.h), per project policy. Also, there's no need for any backend .c file to explicitly include elog.h or palloc.h, because postgres.h pulls those in already. Extracted from a larger patch by Kyotaro Horiguchi. The rest of the removals he suggests require more study, but these are no-brainers. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20180215.200447.209320006.horiguchi.kyotaro@lab.ntt.co.jp

* Rethink MemoryContext creation to improve performance.Tom Lane2017-12-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch makes a number of interrelated changes to reduce the overhead involved in creating/deleting memory contexts. The key ideas are: * Include the AllocSetContext header of an aset.c context in its first malloc request, rather than allocating it separately in TopMemoryContext. This means that we now always create an initial or "keeper" block in an aset, even if it never receives any allocation requests. * Create freelists in which we can save and recycle recently-destroyed asets (this idea is due to Robert Haas). * In the common case where the name of a context is a constant string, just store a pointer to it in the context header, rather than copying the string. The first change eliminates a palloc/pfree cycle per context, and also avoids bloat in TopMemoryContext, at the price that creating a context now involves a malloc/free cycle even if the context never receives any allocations. That would be a loser for some common usage patterns, but recycling short-lived contexts via the freelist eliminates that pain. Avoiding copying constant strings not only saves strlen() and strcpy() overhead, but is an essential part of the freelist optimization because it makes the context header size constant. Currently we make no attempt to use the freelist for contexts with non-constant names. (Perhaps someday we'll need to think harder about that, but in current usage, most contexts with custom names are long-lived anyway.) The freelist management in this initial commit is pretty simplistic, and we might want to refine it later --- but in common workloads that will never matter because the freelists will never get full anyway. To create a context with a non-constant name, one is now required to call AllocSetContextCreateExtended and specify the MEMCONTEXT_COPY_NAME option. AllocSetContextCreate becomes a wrapper macro, and it includes a test that will complain about non-string-literal context name parameters on gcc and similar compilers. An unfortunate side effect of making AllocSetContextCreate a macro is that one is now *required* to use the size parameter abstraction macros (ALLOCSET_DEFAULT_SIZES and friends) with it; the pre-9.6 habit of writing out individual size parameters no longer works unless you switch to AllocSetContextCreateExtended. Internally to the memory-context-related modules, the context creation APIs are simplified, removing the rather baroque original design whereby a context-type module called mcxt.c which then called back into the context-type module. That saved a bit of code duplication, but not much, and it prevented context-type modules from exercising control over the allocation of context headers. In passing, I converted the test-and-elog validation of aset size parameters into Asserts to save a few more cycles. The original thought was that callers might compute size parameters on the fly, but in practice nobody does that, so it's useless to expend cycles on checking those numbers in production builds. Also, mark the memory context method-pointer structs "const", just for cleanliness. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/2264.1512870796@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Support hashed aggregation with grouping sets.Andrew Gierth2017-03-27
This extends the Aggregate node with two new features: HashAggregate can now run multiple hashtables concurrently, and a new strategy MixedAggregate populates hashtables while doing sorted grouping. The planner will now attempt to save as many sorts as possible when planning grouping sets queries, while not exceeding work_mem for the estimated combined sizes of all hashtables used. No SQL-level changes are required. There should be no user-visible impact other than the new EXPLAIN output and possible changes to result ordering when ORDER BY was not used (which affected a few regression tests). The enable_hashagg option is respected. Author: Andrew Gierth Reviewers: Mark Dilger, Andres Freund Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/87vatszyhj.fsf@news-spur.riddles.org.uk
