* Change function call information to be variable length.Andres Freund2019-01-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before this change FunctionCallInfoData, the struct arguments etc for V1 function calls are stored in, always had space for FUNC_MAX_ARGS/100 arguments, storing datums and their nullness in two arrays. For nearly every function call 100 arguments is far more than needed, therefore wasting memory. Arg and argnull being two separate arrays also guarantees that to access a single argument, two cachelines have to be touched. Change the layout so there's a single variable-length array with pairs of value / isnull. That drastically reduces memory consumption for most function calls (on x86-64 a two argument function now uses 64bytes, previously 936 bytes), and makes it very likely that argument value and its nullness are on the same cacheline. Arguments are stored in a new NullableDatum struct, which, due to padding, needs more memory per argument than before. But as usually far fewer arguments are stored, and individual arguments are cheaper to access, that's still a clear win. It's likely that there's other places where conversion to NullableDatum arrays would make sense, e.g. TupleTableSlots, but that's for another commit. Because the function call information is now variable-length allocations have to take the number of arguments into account. For heap allocations that can be done with SizeForFunctionCallInfoData(), for on-stack allocations there's a new LOCAL_FCINFO(name, nargs) macro that helps to allocate an appropriately sized and aligned variable. Some places with stack allocation function call information don't know the number of arguments at compile time, and currently variably sized stack allocations aren't allowed in postgres. Therefore allow for FUNC_MAX_ARGS space in these cases. They're not that common, so for now that seems acceptable. Because of the need to allocate FunctionCallInfo of the appropriate size, older extensions may need to update their code. To avoid subtle breakages, the FunctionCallInfoData struct has been renamed to FunctionCallInfoBaseData. Most code only references FunctionCallInfo, so that shouldn't cause much collateral damage. This change is also a prerequisite for more efficient expression JIT compilation (by allocating the function call information on the stack, allowing LLVM to optimize it away); previously the size of the call information caused problems inside LLVM's optimizer.

* Detoast plpgsql variables if they might live across a transaction boundary.Tom Lane2018-05-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Up to now, it's been safe for plpgsql to store TOAST pointers in its variables because the ActiveSnapshot for whatever query called the plpgsql function will surely protect such TOAST values from being vacuumed away, even if the owning table rows are committed dead. With the introduction of procedures, that assumption is no longer good in "non atomic" executions of plpgsql code. We adopt the slightly brute-force solution of detoasting all TOAST pointers at the time they are stored into variables, if we're in a non-atomic context, just in case the owning row goes away. Some care is needed to avoid long-term memory leaks, since plpgsql tends to run with CurrentMemoryContext pointing to its call-lifespan context, but we shouldn't assume that no memory is leaked by heap_tuple_fetch_attr. In plpgsql proper, we can do the detoasting work in the "eval_mcontext". Most of the code thrashing here is due to the need to add this capability to expandedrecord.c as well as plpgsql proper. In expandedrecord.c, we can't assume that the caller's context is short-lived, so make use of the short-term sub-context that was already invented for checking domain constraints. In view of this repurposing, it seems good to rename that variable and associated code from "domain_check_cxt" to "short_term_cxt".

* Move the extern declaration for ExceptionalCondition into c.h.Tom Lane2018-02-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the logical conclusion of our decision to support Assert() in both frontend and backend code: it should be possible to use that after including just c.h. But as things were arranged before, if you wanted to use Assert() in code that might be compiled for either environment, you had to include postgres.h for the backend case. Let's simplify that. Per buildfarm, some of whose members started throwing warnings after commit 0c62356cc added an Assert in src/port/snprintf.c. It's possible that some other src/port files that use the stanza #ifndef FRONTEND #include "postgres.h" #else #include "postgres_fe.h" #endif could now be simplified to just say '#include "c.h"'. I have not tested for that, though, and it'd be unlikely to apply for more than a small number of them.

* Phase 3 of pgindent updates.Tom Lane2017-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Don't move parenthesized lines to the left, even if that means they flow past the right margin. By default, BSD indent lines up statement continuation lines that are within parentheses so that they start just to the right of the preceding left parenthesis. However, traditionally, if that resulted in the continuation line extending to the right of the desired right margin, then indent would push it left just far enough to not overrun the margin, if it could do so without making the continuation line start to the left of the current statement indent. That makes for a weird mix of indentations unless one has been completely rigid about never violating the 80-column limit. This behavior has been pretty universally panned by Postgres developers. Hence, disable it with indent's new -lpl switch, so that parenthesized lines are always lined up with the preceding left paren. This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

* Phase 2 of pgindent updates.Tom Lane2017-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change pg_bsd_indent to follow upstream rules for placement of comments to the right of code, and remove pgindent hack that caused comments following #endif to not obey the general rule. Commit e3860ffa4dd0dad0dd9eea4be9cc1412373a8c89 wasn't actually using the published version of pg_bsd_indent, but a hacked-up version that tried to minimize the amount of movement of comments to the right of code. The situation of interest is where such a comment has to be moved to the right of its default placement at column 33 because there's code there. BSD indent has always moved right in units of tab stops in such cases --- but in the previous incarnation, indent was working in 8-space tab stops, while now it knows we use 4-space tabs. So the net result is that in about half the cases, such comments are placed one tab stop left of before. This is better all around: it leaves more room on the line for comment text, and it means that in such cases the comment uniformly starts at the next 4-space tab stop after the code, rather than sometimes one and sometimes two tabs after. Also, ensure that comments following #endif are indented the same as comments following other preprocessor commands such as #else. That inconsistency turns out to have been self-inflicted damage from a poorly-thought-through post-indent "fixup" in pgindent. This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

* Initial pgindent run with pg_bsd_indent version 2.0.Tom Lane2017-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new indent version includes numerous fixes thanks to Piotr Stefaniak. The main changes visible in this commit are: * Nicer formatting of function-pointer declarations. * No longer unexpectedly removes spaces in expressions using casts, sizeof, or offsetof. * No longer wants to add a space in "struct structname *varname", as well as some similar cases for const- or volatile-qualified pointers. * Declarations using PG_USED_FOR_ASSERTS_ONLY are formatted more nicely. * Fixes bug where comments following declarations were sometimes placed with no space separating them from the code. * Fixes some odd decisions for comments following case labels. * Fixes some cases where comments following code were indented to less than the expected column 33. On the less good side, it now tends to put more whitespace around typedef names that are not listed in typedefs.list. This might encourage us to put more effort into typedef name collection; it's not really a bug in indent itself. There are more changes coming after this round, having to do with comment indentation and alignment of lines appearing within parentheses. I wanted to limit the size of the diffs to something that could be reviewed without one's eyes completely glazing over, so it seemed better to split up the changes as much as practical.

* Avoid -Wconversion warnings from direct use of GET_n_BYTES macros.Tom Lane2017-05-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The GET/SET_n_BYTES macros are meant to be infrastructure for the DatumGetFoo/FooGetDatum macros, which include a cast to the intended target type. Using them directly without a cast, as DatumGetFloat4 and friends previously did, can yield warnings when -Wconversion is on. This is of little significance when building Postgres proper, because there are such a huge number of such warnings in the server that nobody would think -Wconversion is of any use. But some extensions build with -Wconversion due to outside constraints. Commit 14cca1bf8 did a disservice to those extensions by moving DatumGetFloat4 et al into postgres.h, where they can now cause warnings in extension builds. To fix, use DatumGetInt32 and friends in place of the low-level macros. This is arguably a bit cleaner anyway. Chapman Flack Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/592E4D04.1070609@anastigmatix.net

| | | | | | | | | | When commit 3e23b68dac006e8deb0afa327e855258df8de064 introduced single-byte varlena headers, its fmgr.h changes presented PG_GETARG_TEXT_PP() and PG_GETARG_TEXT_P() as equals. Its postgres.h changes presented PG_DETOAST_DATUM_PACKED() and VARDATA_ANY() as the exceptional case. Now, instead, firmly recommend PG_GETARG_TEXT_PP() over PG_GETARG_TEXT_P(); likewise for other ...PP() macros. This shaves cycles and invites consistency of style.

* Be pickier about converting between Name and Datum.Tom Lane2016-09-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | We were misapplying NameGetDatum() to plain C strings in some places. This worked, because it was just a pointer cast anyway, but it's a type cheat in some sense. Use CStringGetDatum instead, and modify the NameGetDatum macro so it won't compile if applied to something that's not a pointer to NameData. This should result in no changes to generated code, but it is logically cleaner. Mark Dilger, tweaked a bit by me Discussion: <EFD8AC94-4C1F-40C1-A5EA-304080089C1B@gmail.com>
* Use static inline functions for float <-> Datum conversions.Heikki Linnakangas2016-08-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that we are OK with using static inline functions, we can use them to avoid function call overhead of pass-by-val versions of Float4GetDatum, DatumGetFloat8, and Float8GetDatum. Those functions are only a few CPU instructions long, but they could not be written into macros previously, because we need a local union variable for the conversion. I kept the pass-by-ref versions as regular functions. They are very simple too, but they call palloc() anyway, so shaving a few instructions from the function call doesn't seem so important there.

* Adjust DatumGetBool macro, this time for sure.Tom Lane2016-04-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 23a41573c attempted to fix the DatumGetBool macro to ignore bits in a Datum that are to the left of the actual bool value. But it did that by casting the Datum to bool; and on compilers that use C99 semantics for bool, that ends up being a whole-word test, not a 1-byte test. This seems to be the true explanation for contrib/seg failing in VS2015. To fix, use GET_1_BYTE() explicitly. I think in the previous patch, I'd had some idea of not having to commit to bool being exactly 1 byte wide, but regardless of what the compiler's bool is, boolean columns and Datums are certainly 1 byte wide. The previous fix was (eventually) back-patched into all active versions, so do likewise with this one.
* Widen query numbers-of-tuples-processed counters to uint64.Tom Lane2016-03-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch widens SPI_processed, EState's es_processed field, PortalData's portalPos field, FuncCallContext's call_cntr and max_calls fields, ExecutorRun's count argument, PortalRunFetch's result, and the max number of rows in a SPITupleTable to uint64, and deals with (I hope) all the ensuing fallout. Some of these values were declared uint32 before, and others "long". I also removed PortalData's posOverflow field, since that logic seems pretty useless given that portalPos is now always 64 bits. The user-visible results are that command tags for SELECT etc will correctly report tuple counts larger than 4G, as will plpgsql's GET GET DIAGNOSTICS ... ROW_COUNT command. Queries processing more tuples than that are still not exactly the norm, but they're becoming more common. Most values associated with FETCH/MOVE distances, such as PortalRun's count argument and the count argument of most SPI functions that have one, remain declared as "long". It's not clear whether it would be worth promoting those to int64; but it would definitely be a large dollop of additional API churn on top of this, and it would only help 32-bit platforms which seem relatively less likely to see any benefit.

* Support "expanded" objects, particularly arrays, for better performance.Tom Lane2015-05-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces the ability for complex datatypes to have an in-memory representation that is different from their on-disk format. On-disk formats are typically optimized for minimal size, and in any case they can't contain pointers, so they are often not well-suited for computation. Now a datatype can invent an "expanded" in-memory format that is better suited for its operations, and then pass that around among the C functions that operate on the datatype. There are also provisions (rudimentary as yet) to allow an expanded object to be modified in-place under suitable conditions, so that operations like assignment to an element of an array need not involve copying the entire array. The initial application for this feature is arrays, but it is not hard to foresee using it for other container types like JSON, XML and hstore. I have hopes that it will be useful to PostGIS as well. In this initial implementation, a few heuristics have been hard-wired into plpgsql to improve performance for arrays that are stored in plpgsql variables. We would like to generalize those hacks so that other datatypes can obtain similar improvements, but figuring out some appropriate APIs is left as a task for future work. (The heuristics themselves are probably not optimal yet, either, as they sometimes force expansion of arrays that would be better left alone.) Preliminary performance testing shows impressive speed gains for plpgsql functions that do element-by-element access or update of large arrays. There are other cases that get a little slower, as a result of added array format conversions; but we can hope to improve anything that's annoyingly bad. In any case most applications should see a net win. Tom Lane, reviewed by Andres Freund
* Tweak __attribute__-wrapping macros for better pgindent results.Tom Lane2015-03-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This improves on commit bbfd7edae5aa5ad5553d3c7e102f2e450d4380d4 by making two simple changes: * pg_attribute_noreturn now takes parentheses, ie pg_attribute_noreturn(). Likewise pg_attribute_unused(), pg_attribute_packed(). This reduces pgindent's tendency to misformat declarations involving them. * attributes are now always attached to function declarations, not definitions. Previously some places were taking creative shortcuts, which were not merely candidates for bad misformatting by pgindent but often were outright wrong anyway. (It does little good to put a noreturn annotation where callers can't see it.) In any case, if we would like to believe that these macros can be used with non-gcc compilers, we should avoid gratuitous variance in usage patterns. I also went through and manually improved the formatting of a lot of declarations, and got rid of excessively repetitive (and now obsolete anyway) comments informing the reader what pg_attribute_printf is for.
* Add macros wrapping all usage of gcc's __attribute__.Andres Freund2015-03-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Until now __attribute__() was defined to be empty for all compilers but gcc. That's problematic because it prevents using it in other compilers; which is necessary e.g. for atomics portability. It's also just generally dubious to do so in a header as widely included as c.h. Instead add pg_attribute_format_arg, pg_attribute_printf, pg_attribute_noreturn macros which are implemented in the compilers that understand them. Also add pg_attribute_noreturn and pg_attribute_packed, but don't provide fallbacks, since they can affect functionality. This means that external code that, possibly unwittingly, relied on __attribute__ defined to be empty on !gcc compilers may now run into warnings or errors on those compilers. But there shouldn't be many occurances of that and it's hard to work around... Discussion: 54B58BA3.8040302@ohmu.fi Author: Oskari Saarenmaa, with some minor changes by me.
* Use FLEXIBLE_ARRAY_MEMBER in a bunch more places.Tom Lane2015-02-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Replace some bogus "x[1]" declarations with "x[FLEXIBLE_ARRAY_MEMBER]". Aside from being more self-documenting, this should help prevent bogus warnings from static code analyzers and perhaps compiler misoptimizations. This patch is just a down payment on eliminating the whole problem, but it gets rid of a lot of easy-to-fix cases. Note that the main problem with doing this is that one must no longer rely on computing sizeof(the containing struct), since the result would be compiler-dependent. Instead use offsetof(struct, lastfield). Autoconf also warns against spelling that offsetof(struct, lastfield[0]). Michael Paquier, review and additional fixes by me.

An example is that toast_flatten_tuple() failed to cover the possibility of an indirection pointer in its input. Back-patch to 9.4 just in case that is reachable now. In HEAD, also correct some really minor issues with recent compression reorganization, such as dangerously underparenthesized macros.

* Don't allow to disable backend assertions via the debug_assertions GUC.Andres Freund2014-06-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The existance of the assert_enabled variable (backing the debug_assertions GUC) reduced the amount of knowledge some static code checkers (like coverity and various compilers) could infer from the existance of the assertion. That could have been solved by optionally removing the assertion_enabled variable from the Assert() et al macros at compile time when some special macro is defined, but the resulting complication doesn't seem to be worth the gain from having debug_assertions. Recompiling is fast enough. The debug_assertions GUC is still available, but readonly, as it's useful when diagnosing problems. The commandline/client startup option -A, which previously also allowed to enable/disable assertions, has been removed as it doesn't serve a purpose anymore. While at it, reduce code duplication in bufmgr.c and localbuf.c assertions checking for spurious buffer pins. That code had to be reindented anyway to cope with the assert_enabled removal.

* Improve concurrency of foreign key lockingAlvaro Herrera2013-01-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces two additional lock modes for tuples: "SELECT FOR KEY SHARE" and "SELECT FOR NO KEY UPDATE". These don't block each other, in contrast with already existing "SELECT FOR SHARE" and "SELECT FOR UPDATE". UPDATE commands that do not modify the values stored in the columns that are part of the key of the tuple now grab a SELECT FOR NO KEY UPDATE lock on the tuple, allowing them to proceed concurrently with tuple locks of the FOR KEY SHARE variety. Foreign key triggers now use FOR KEY SHARE instead of FOR SHARE; this means the concurrency improvement applies to them, which is the whole point of this patch. The added tuple lock semantics require some rejiggering of the multixact module, so that the locking level that each transaction is holding can be stored alongside its Xid. Also, multixacts now need to persist across server restarts and crashes, because they can now represent not only tuple locks, but also tuple updates. This means we need more careful tracking of lifetime of pg_multixact SLRU files; since they now persist longer, we require more infrastructure to figure out when they can be removed. pg_upgrade also needs to be careful to copy pg_multixact files over from the old server to the new, or at least part of multixact.c state, depending on the versions of the old and new servers. Tuple time qualification rules (HeapTupleSatisfies routines) need to be careful not to consider tuples with the "is multi" infomask bit set as being only locked; they might need to look up MultiXact values (i.e. possibly do pg_multixact I/O) to find out the Xid that updated a tuple, whereas they previously were assured to only use information readily available from the tuple header. This is considered acceptable, because the extra I/O would involve cases that would previously cause some commands to block waiting for concurrent transactions to finish. Another important change is the fact that locking tuples that have previously been updated causes the future versions to be marked as locked, too; this is essential for correctness of foreign key checks. This causes additional WAL-logging, also (there was previously a single WAL record for a locked tuple; now there are as many as updated copies of the tuple there exist.) With all this in place, contention related to tuples being checked by foreign key rules should be much reduced. As a bonus, the old behavior that a subtransaction grabbing a stronger tuple lock than the parent (sub)transaction held on a given tuple and later aborting caused the weaker lock to be lost, has been fixed. Many new spec files were added for isolation tester framework, to ensure overall behavior is sane. There's probably room for several more tests. There were several reviewers of this patch; in particular, Noah Misch and Andres Freund spent considerable time in it. Original idea for the patch came from Simon Riggs, after a problem report by Joel Jacobson. Most code is from me, with contributions from Marti Raudsepp, Alexander Shulgin, Noah Misch and Andres Freund.

Likewise, provide a configure option to disable the recently-committed float4 pass-by-value change. Zoltan Boszormenyi, plus configurability stuff by me.

I added a CREATE FUNCTION to account for existing seg_center() code in seg.c too, and some tests for it and the neighbor functions. At the same time, remove checks for NULL which are not needed (because the functions are declared STRICT). I had to do some adjustments to contrib's btree_gist too. The choices for representation there are not ideal for changing the underlying types :-( Original patch by Zoltan Boszormenyi, with some adjustments by me.

The main idea here is to push function declarations for src/backend/catalog/*.c files into separate headers, rather than sticking them into the corresponding catalog definition file as has been done in the past. This commit only carries out that idea fully for pg_proc, pg_type and pg_conversion, but that's enough for the moment --- if pg_list.h ever becomes unsafe for frontend code to include, we'll need to work a bit more.
