* Use LWSYNC in place of SYNC/ISYNC in PPC spinlocks, where possible.Tom Lane2012-01-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This is allegedly a win, at least on some PPC implementations, according to the PPC ISA documents. However, as with LWARX hints, some PPC platforms give an illegal-instruction failure. Use the same trick as before of assuming that PPC64 platforms will accept it; we might need to refine that based on experience, but there are other projects doing likewise according to google. I did not add an assembler compatibility test because LWSYNC has been around much longer than hint bits, and it seems unlikely that any toolchains currently in use don't recognize it.
* Use 4-byte slock_t on both PPC and PPC64.Tom Lane2012-01-02
| | | | | | | Previously we defined slock_t as 8 bytes on PPC64, but the TAS assembly code uses word-wide operations regardless, so that the second word was just wasted space. There doesn't appear to be any performance benefit in adding the second word, so get rid of it to simplify the code.
* Use mutex hint bit in PPC LWARX instructions, where possible.Tom Lane2012-01-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The hint bit makes for a small but measurable performance improvement in access to contended spinlocks. On the other hand, some PPC chips give an illegal-instruction failure. There doesn't seem to be a completely bulletproof way to tell whether the hint bit will cause an illegal-instruction failure other than by trying it; but most if not all 64-bit PPC machines should accept it, so follow the Linux kernel's lead and assume it's okay to use it in 64-bit builds. Of course we must also check whether the assembler accepts the command, since even with a recent CPU the toolchain could be old. Patch by Manabu Ori, significantly modified by me.

* Revert "Remove troublesome Asserts in cost_mergejoin()."Tom Lane2011-12-30
| | | | | | | | This reverts commit ff68b256a533b398e3420750f34d161aeee4e099. The recent change to use -fexcess-precision=standard should make those Asserts safe, and does fix a test case that formerly crashed for me, so I think there's no need to have a cross-version difference in the code here.

* Adjust SP-GiST regression tests to be less locale-sensitive.Tom Lane2011-12-29
| | | | | | | The original test cases gave varying results depending on whether the locale sorts digits before or after letters. Since that's not really what we wish to test here, adjust the test data to not contain any strings beginning with digits. Per report from Pavel Stehule.
* PL/Python: Add argument names to function declarationsPeter Eisentraut2011-12-29

* pg_dump: Dump user mappings ordered by user namePeter Eisentraut2011-12-29
| | | | | This is to get a deterministic dump order independent of the order in which the user mappings were created.

* Standardize treatment of strcmp() return valuePeter Eisentraut2011-12-27
| | | | | Always compare the return value to 0, don't use cute tricks like if (!strcmp(...)).
* Remove support for on_exit()Peter Eisentraut2011-12-27
| | | | | | All supported platforms support the C89 standard function atexit() (SunOS 4 probably being the last one not to), and supporting both makes the code clumsy.
* Run "make all" as a prerequisite of "make check"Peter Eisentraut2011-12-27
| | | | This is the standard behavior but was forgotten in some places.
* Sort compendium lists for msgmergePeter Eisentraut2011-12-27

* Rethink representation of index clauses' mapping to index columns.Tom Lane2011-12-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In commit e2c2c2e8b1df7dfdb01e7e6f6191a569ce3c3195 I made use of nested list structures to show which clauses went with which index columns, but on reflection that's a data structure that only an old-line Lisp hacker could love. Worse, it adds unnecessary complication to the many places that don't much care which clauses go with which index columns. Revert to the previous arrangement of flat lists of clauses, and instead add a parallel integer list of column numbers. The places that care about the pairing can chase both lists with forboth(), while the places that don't care just examine one list the same as before. The only real downside to this is that there are now two more lists that need to be passed to amcostestimate functions in case they care about column matching (which btcostestimate does, so not passing the info is not an option). Rather than deal with 11-argument amcostestimate functions, pass just the IndexPath and expect the functions to extract fields from it. That gets us down to 7 arguments which is better than 11, and it seems more future-proof against likely additions to the information we keep about an index path.
* Improve planner's handling of duplicated index column expressions.Tom Lane2011-12-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's potentially useful for an index to repeat the same indexable column or expression in multiple index columns, if the columns have different opclasses. (If they share opclasses too, the duplicate column is pretty useless, but nonetheless we've allowed such cases since 9.0.) However, the planner failed to cope with this, because createplan.c was relying on simple equal() matching to figure out which index column each index qual is intended for. We do have that information available upstream in indxpath.c, though, so the fix is to not flatten the multi-level indexquals list when putting it into an IndexPath. Then we can rely on the sublist structure to identify target index columns in createplan.c. There's a similar issue for index ORDER BYs (the KNNGIST feature), so introduce a multi-level-list representation for that too. This adds a bit more representational overhead, but we might more or less buy that back by not having to search for matching index columns anymore in createplan.c; likewise btcostestimate saves some cycles. Per bug #6351 from Christian Rudolph. Likely symptoms include the "btree index keys must be ordered by attribute" failure shown there, as well as "operator MMMM is not a member of opfamily NNNN". Although this is a pre-existing problem that can be demonstrated in 9.0 and 9.1, I'm not going to back-patch it, because the API changes in the planner seem likely to break things such as index plugins. The corner cases where this matters seem too narrow to justify possibly breaking things in a minor release.
* Add bytea_agg, parallel to string_agg.Robert Haas2011-12-23

* Catversion bump for commit 0e4611c0234d89e288a53351f775c59522baed7c.Robert Haas2011-12-22
| | | | It changed the format of stored rules.
* Add a security_barrier option for views.Robert Haas2011-12-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a view is marked as a security barrier, it will not be pulled up into the containing query, and no quals will be pushed down into it, so that no function or operator chosen by the user can be applied to rows not exposed by the view. Views not configured with this option cannot provide robust row-level security, but will perform far better. Patch by KaiGai Kohei; original problem report by Heikki Linnakangas (in October 2009!). Review (in earlier versions) by Noah Misch and others. Design advice by Tom Lane and myself. Further review and cleanup by me.
* Add ALTER DOMAIN ... RENAMEPeter Eisentraut2011-12-22
| | | | | | You could already rename domains using ALTER TYPE, but with this new command it is more consistent with how other commands treat domains as a subcategory of types.
* Don't forget to de-escape the password field in .pgpass.Robert Haas2011-12-22
| | | | | | | | | This has been broken just about forever (or more specifically, commit 7f4981f4af1700456f98ac3f2b2d84959919ec81) and nobody noticed until Richard Huxton reported it recently. Analysis and fix by Ross Reedstrom, although I didn't use his patch. This doesn't seem important enough to back-patch and is mildly backward incompatible, so I'm just doing this in master.
* Update per-column ACLs, not only per-table ACL, when changing table owner.Tom Lane2011-12-21
| | | | | | | | | We forgot to modify column ACLs, so privileges were still shown as having been granted by the old owner. This meant that neither the new owner nor a superuser could revoke the now-untraceable-to-table-owner permissions. Per bug #6350 from Marc Balmer. This has been wrong since column ACLs were added, so back-patch to 8.4.
* Improve behavior of concurrent CLUSTER.Robert Haas2011-12-21
| | | | | | | | | | In the previous coding, a user could queue up for an AccessExclusiveLock on a table they did not have permission to cluster, thus potentially interfering with access by authorized users who got stuck waiting behind the AccessExclusiveLock. This approach avoids that. cluster() has the same permissions-checking requirements as REINDEX TABLE, so this commit moves the now-shared callback to tablecmds.c and renames it, per discussion with Noah Misch.
* Take fewer snapshots.Robert Haas2011-12-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a PORTAL_ONE_SELECT query is executed, we can opportunistically reuse the parse/plan shot for the execution phase. This cuts down the number of snapshots per simple query from 2 to 1 for the simple protocol, and 3 to 2 for the extended protocol. Since we are only reusing a snapshot taken early in the processing of the same protocol message, the change shouldn't be user-visible, except that the remote possibility of the planning and execution snapshots being different is eliminated. Note that this change does not make it safe to assume that the parse/plan snapshot will certainly be reused; that will currently only happen if PortalStart() decides to use the PORTAL_ONE_SELECT strategy. It might be worth trying to provide some stronger guarantees here in the future, but for now we don't. Patch by me; review by Dimitri Fontaine.

* Fix gincostestimate to handle ScalarArrayOpExpr reasonably.Tom Lane2011-12-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The original coding of this function overlooked the possibility that it could be passed anything except simple OpExpr indexquals. But ScalarArrayOpExpr is possible too, and the code would probably crash (and surely give ridiculous answers) in such a case. Add logic to try to estimate sanely for such cases. In passing, fix the treatment of inner-indexscan cost estimation: it was failing to scale up properly for multiple iterations of a nestloop. (I think somebody might've thought that index_pages_fetched() is linear, but of course it's not.) Report, diagnosis, and preliminary patch by Marti Raudsepp; I refactored it a bit and fixed the cost estimation. Back-patch into 9.1 where the bogus code was introduced.
* Avoid crashing when we have problems unlinking files post-commit.Tom Lane2011-12-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | smgrdounlink takes care to not throw an ERROR if it fails to unlink something, but that caution was rendered useless by commit 3396000684b41e7e9467d1abc67152b39e697035, which put an smgrexists call in front of it; smgrexists *does* throw error if anything looks funny, such as getting a permissions error from trying to open the file. If that happens post-commit, you get a PANIC, and what's worse the same logic appears in the WAL replay code, so the database even fails to restart. Restore the intended behavior by removing the smgrexists call --- it isn't accomplishing anything that we can't do better by adjusting mdunlink's ideas of whether it ought to warn about ENOENT or not. Per report from Joseph Shraibman of unrecoverable crash after trying to drop a table whose FSM fork had somehow gotten chmod'd to 000 permissions. Backpatch to 8.4, where the bogus coding was introduced.
* Add support for privileges on typesPeter Eisentraut2011-12-20
| | | | | | | | | This adds support for the more or less SQL-conforming USAGE privilege on types and domains. The intent is to be able restrict which users can create dependencies on types, which restricts the way in which owners can alter types. reviewed by Yeb Havinga

* Rename updateNodeLink to spgUpdateNodeLink.Tom Lane2011-12-19
| | | | | | | On reflection, the original name seems way too generic for a global symbol. A quick check shows this is the only exported function name in SP-GiST that doesn't begin with "spg" or contain "SpGist", so the rest of them seem all right.
* Allow CHECK constraints to be declared ONLYAlvaro Herrera2011-12-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This makes them enforceable only on the parent table, not on children tables. This is useful in various situations, per discussion involving people bitten by the restrictive behavior introduced in 8.4.

* Teach SP-GiST to do index-only scans.Tom Lane2011-12-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | Operator classes can specify whether or not they support this; this preserves the flexibility to use lossy representations within an index. In passing, move constant data about a given index into the rd_amcache cache area, instead of doing fresh lookups each time we start an index operation. This is mainly to try to make sure that spgcanreturn() has insignificant cost; I still don't have any proof that it matters for actual index accesses. Also, get rid of useless copying of FmgrInfo pointers; we can perfectly well use the relcache's versions in-place.
* Replace simple constant pg_am.amcanreturn with an AM support function.Tom Lane2011-12-18
| | | | | | | | | The need for this was debated when we put in the index-only-scan feature, but at the time we had no near-term expectation of having AMs that could support such scans for only some indexes; so we kept it simple. However, the SP-GiST AM forces the issue, so let's fix it. This patch only installs the new API; no behavior actually changes.

* Split plpython.c into smaller piecesPeter Eisentraut2011-12-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This moves the code around from one huge file into hopefully logical and more manageable modules. For the most part, the code itself was not touched, except: PLy_function_handler and PLy_trigger_handler were renamed to PLy_exec_function and PLy_exec_trigger, because they were not actually handlers in the PL handler sense, and it makes the naming more similar to the way PL/pgSQL is organized. The initialization of the procedure caches was separated into a new function init_procedure_caches to keep the hash tables private to plpy_procedures.c. Jan UrbaƄski and Peter Eisentraut

* Remove bogus entries in gist point_ops operator class.Tom Lane2011-12-17
| | | | | | | | | | These entries could never be matched to an index clause because they don't have the index datatype on the left-hand side of the operator. (Their commutators are in the opclass, which is sensible, but that doesn't mean these operators should be.) Spotted by a test that I recently added to opr_sanity to catch exactly this type of thinko. AFAICT there is no code in gistproc.c that is specifically meant to cover these cases, so nothing to remove at that level.
