* Centralize definition of integer limits.Andres Freund2015-03-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Several submitted and even committed patches have run into the problem that C89, our baseline, does not provide minimum/maximum values for various integer datatypes. C99's stdint.h does, but we can't rely on it. Several parts of the code defined limits locally, so instead centralize the definitions to c.h. This patch also changes the more obvious usages of literal limit values; there's more places that could be changed, but it's less clear whether it's beneficial to change those.

* Return ObjectAddress in many ALTER TABLE sub-routinesAlvaro Herrera2015-03-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since commit a2e35b53c39b2a, most CREATE and ALTER commands return the ObjectAddress of the affected object. This is useful for event triggers to try to figure out exactly what happened. This patch extends this idea a bit further to cover ALTER TABLE as well: an auxiliary ObjectAddress is returned for each of several subcommands of ALTER TABLE. This makes it possible to decode with precision what happened during execution of any ALTER TABLE command; for instance, which constraint was added by ALTER TABLE ADD CONSTRAINT, or which parent got dropped from the parents list by ALTER TABLE NO INHERIT. As with the previous patch, there is no immediate user-visible change here. This is all really just continuing what c504513f83a9ee8 started. Reviewed by Stephen Frost.
* Upgrade src/port/rint.c to be POSIX-compliant.Tom Lane2015-03-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The POSIX spec says that rint() rounds halfway cases to nearest even. Our substitute implementation failed to do that, rather rounding halfway cases away from zero; and it also got some other cases (such as minus zero) wrong. This led to observable cross-platform differences, as reported in bug #12885 from Rich Schaaf; in particular, casting from float to int didn't honor round-to-nearest-even on builds using rint.c. Implement something that attempts to cover all cases per spec, and add some simple regression tests so that we'll notice if any platforms still get this wrong. Although this is a bug fix, no back-patch, as a behavioral change in the back branches was agreed not to be a good idea. Pedro Gimeno Fortea, reviewed by Michael Paquier and myself
* Reduce pinning and buffer content locking for btree scans.Kevin Grittner2015-03-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Even though the main benefit of the Lehman and Yao algorithm for btrees is that no locks need be held between page reads in an index search, we were holding a buffer pin on each leaf page after it was read until we were ready to read the next one. The reason was so that we could treat this as a weak lock to create an "interlock" with vacuum's deletion of heap line pointers, even though our README file pointed out that this was not necessary for a scan using an MVCC snapshot. The main goal of this patch is to reduce the blocking of vacuum processes by in-progress btree index scans (including a cursor which is idle), but the code rearrangement also allows for one less buffer content lock to be taken when a forward scan steps from one page to the next, which results in a small but consistent performance improvement in many workloads. This patch leaves behavior unchanged for some cases, which can be addressed separately so that each case can be evaluated on its own merits. These unchanged cases are when a scan uses a non-MVCC snapshot, an index-only scan, and a scan of a btree index for which modifications are not WAL-logged. If later patches allow all of these cases to drop the buffer pin after reading a leaf page, then the btree vacuum process can be simplified; it will no longer need the "super-exclusive" lock to delete tuples from a page.

* Fix ExecOpenScanRelation to take a lock on a ROW_MARK_COPY relation.Tom Lane2015-03-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ExecOpenScanRelation assumed that any relation listed in the ExecRowMark list has been locked by InitPlan; but this is not true if the rel's markType is ROW_MARK_COPY, which is possible if it's a foreign table. In most (possibly all) cases, failure to acquire a lock here isn't really problematic because the parser, planner, or plancache would have taken the appropriate lock already. In principle though it might leave us vulnerable to working with a relation that we hold no lock on, and in any case if the executor isn't depending on previously-taken locks otherwise then it should not do so for ROW_MARK_COPY relations. Noted by Etsuro Fujita. Back-patch to all active versions, since the inconsistency has been there a long time. (It's almost certainly irrelevant in 9.0, since that predates foreign tables, but the code's still wrong on its own terms.)
* Apply table and domain CHECK constraints in name order.Tom Lane2015-03-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, CHECK constraints of the same scope were checked in whatever order they happened to be read from pg_constraint. (Usually, but not reliably, this would be creation order for domain constraints and reverse creation order for table constraints, because of differing implementation details.) Nondeterministic results of this sort are problematic at least for testing purposes, and in discussion it was agreed to be a violation of the principle of least astonishment. Therefore, borrow the principle already established for triggers, and apply such checks in name order (using strcmp() sort rules). This lets users control the check order if they have a mind to. Domain CHECK constraints still follow the rule of checking lower nested domains' constraints first; the name sort only applies to multiple constraints attached to the same domain. In passing, I failed to resist the temptation to wordsmith a bit in create_domain.sgml. Apply to HEAD only, since this could result in a behavioral change in existing applications, and the potential regression test failures have not actually been observed in our buildfarm.

* Don't delay replication for less than recovery_min_apply_delay's resolution.Andres Freund2015-03-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Recovery delays are implemented by waiting on a latch, and latches take milliseconds as a parameter. The required amount of waiting was computed using microsecond resolution though and the wait loop's abort condition was checking the delay in microseconds as well. This could lead to short spurts of busy looping when the overall wait time was below a millisecond, but above 0 microseconds. Instead just formulate the wait loop's abort condition in millisecond granularity as well. Given that that's recovery_min_apply_delay resolution, it seems harmless to not wait for less than a millisecond. Backpatch to 9.4 where recovery_min_apply_delay was introduced.

* Allow foreign tables to participate in inheritance.Tom Lane2015-03-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Foreign tables can now be inheritance children, or parents. Much of the system was already ready for this, but we had to fix a few things of course, mostly in the area of planner and executor handling of row locks. As side effects of this, allow foreign tables to have NOT VALID CHECK constraints (and hence to accept ALTER ... VALIDATE CONSTRAINT), and to accept ALTER SET STORAGE and ALTER SET WITH/WITHOUT OIDS. Continuing to disallow these things would've required bizarre and inconsistent special cases in inheritance behavior. Since foreign tables don't enforce CHECK constraints anyway, a NOT VALID one is a complete no-op, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't allow it. And it's possible that some FDWs might have use for SET STORAGE or SET WITH OIDS, though doubtless they will be no-ops for most. An additional change in support of this is that when a ModifyTable node has multiple target tables, they will all now be explicitly identified in EXPLAIN output, for example: Update on pt1 (cost=0.00..321.05 rows=3541 width=46) Update on pt1 Foreign Update on ft1 Foreign Update on ft2 Update on child3 -> Seq Scan on pt1 (cost=0.00..0.00 rows=1 width=46) -> Foreign Scan on ft1 (cost=100.00..148.03 rows=1170 width=46) -> Foreign Scan on ft2 (cost=100.00..148.03 rows=1170 width=46) -> Seq Scan on child3 (cost=0.00..25.00 rows=1200 width=46) This was done mainly to provide an unambiguous place to attach "Remote SQL" fields, but it is useful for inherited updates even when no foreign tables are involved.

But being able to use 128bit math will allow us, in a later patch, to use 128bit accumulators for some aggregates; leading to noticeable speedups over using numeric. So far we only detect a gcc/clang extension that supports 128bit math, but no 128bit literals, and no *printf support. We might want to expand this in the future to further compilers; if there are any that that provide similar support.

* GetUserId() changes to has_privs_of_role()Stephen Frost2015-03-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The pg_stat and pg_signal-related functions have been using GetUserId() instead of has_privs_of_role() for checking if the current user should be able to see details in pg_stat_activity or signal other processes, requiring a user to do 'SET ROLE' for inheirited roles for a permissions check, unlike other permissions checks. This patch changes that behavior to, instead, act like most other permission checks and use has_privs_of_role(), removing the 'SET ROLE' need. Documentation and error messages updated accordingly.

* Add flags argument to dsm_create.Robert Haas2015-03-19

* Fix status reporting for terminated bgworkers that were never started.Robert Haas2015-03-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, GetBackgroundWorkerPid() would return BGWH_NOT_YET_STARTED if the slot used for the worker registration had not been reused by unrelated activity, and BGWH_STOPPED if it had. Either way, a process that had requested notification when the state of one of its background workers changed did not receive such notifications. Fix things so that GetBackgroundWorkerPid() always returns BGWH_STOPPED in this situation, so that we do not erroneously give waiters the impression that the worker will eventually be started; and send notifications just as we would if the process terminated after having been started, so that it's possible to wait for the postmaster to process a worker termination request without polling. Discovered by Amit Kapila during testing of parallel sequential scan. Analysis and fix by me. Back-patch to 9.4; there may not be anyone relying on this interface yet, but if anyone is, the new behavior is a clear improvement.

* Install shared libraries to bin/ in Windows under MSVCAlvaro Herrera2015-03-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since commit cb4a3b04 we were already doing this for the Cygwin/mingw toolchains, but MSVC had not been updated to do it. At Install.pm time, the Makefile (or GNUmakefile) is inspected, and if a line matching SO_MAJOR_VERSION is found (indicating a shared library is being built), then files with the .dll extension are set to be installed in bin/ rather than lib/, while files with .lib extension are installed in lib/. This makes the MSVC toolchain up to date with cygwin/mingw. This removes ad-hoc hacks that were copying files into bin/ or lib/ manually (libpq.dll in particular was already being copied into bin). So while this is a rather ugly kludge, it's still cleaner than what was there before. Author: Michael Paquier Reviewed by: Asif Naeem

* Rationalize vacuuming options and parametersAlvaro Herrera2015-03-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We were involving the parser too much in setting up initial vacuuming parameters. This patch moves that responsibility elsewhere to simplify code, and also to make future additions easier. To do this, create a new struct VacuumParams which is filled just prior to vacuum execution, instead of at parse time; for user-invoked vacuuming this is set up in a new function ExecVacuum, while autovacuum sets it up by itself. While at it, add a new member VACOPT_SKIPTOAST to enum VacuumOption, only set by autovacuum, which is used to disable vacuuming of the toast table instead of the old do_toast parameter; this relieves the argument list of vacuum() and some callees a bit. This partially makes up for having added more arguments in an effort to avoid having autovacuum from constructing a VacuumStmt parse node. Author: Michael Paquier.

* Support opfamily members in get_object_addressAlvaro Herrera2015-03-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the spirit of 890192e99af and 4464303405f: have get_object_address understand individual pg_amop and pg_amproc objects. There is no way to refer to such objects directly in the grammar -- rather, they are almost always considered an integral part of the opfamily that contains them. (The only case that deals with them individually is ALTER OPERATOR FAMILY ADD/DROP, which carries the opfamily address separately and thus does not need it to be part of each added/dropped element's address.) In event triggers it becomes possible to become involved with individual amop/amproc elements, and this commit enables pg_get_object_address to do so as well. To make the overall coding simpler, this commit also slightly changes the get_object_address representation for opclasses and opfamilies: instead of having the AM name in the objargs array, I moved it as the first element of the objnames array. This enables the new code to use objargs for the type names used by pg_amop and pg_amproc. Reviewed by: Stephen Frost
* Improve representation of PlanRowMark.Tom Lane2015-03-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes two inadequacies of the PlanRowMark representation. First, that the original LockingClauseStrength isn't stored (and cannot be inferred for foreign tables, which always get ROW_MARK_COPY). Since some PlanRowMarks are created out of whole cloth and don't actually have an ancestral RowMarkClause, this requires adding a dummy LCS_NONE value to enum LockingClauseStrength, which is fairly annoying but the alternatives seem worse. This fix allows getting rid of the use of get_parse_rowmark() in FDWs (as per the discussion around commits 462bd95705a0c23b and 8ec8760fc87ecde0), and it simplifies some things elsewhere. Second, that the representation assumed that all child tables in an inheritance hierarchy would use the same RowMarkType. That's true today but will soon not be true. We add an "allMarkTypes" field that identifies the union of mark types used in all a parent table's children, and use that where appropriate (currently, only in preprocess_targetlist()). In passing fix a couple of minor infelicities left over from the SKIP LOCKED patch, notably that _outPlanRowMark still thought waitPolicy is a bool. Catversion bump is required because the numeric values of enum LockingClauseStrength can appear in on-disk rules. Extracted from a much larger patch to support foreign table inheritance; it seemed worth breaking this out, since it's a separable concern. Shigeru Hanada and Etsuro Fujita, somewhat modified by me
* Move LockClauseStrength, LockWaitPolicy into new file nodes/lockoptions.h.Tom Lane2015-03-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit df630b0dd5ea2de52972d456f5978a012436115e moved enum LockWaitPolicy into its very own header file utils/lockwaitpolicy.h, which does not seem like a great idea from here. First, it's still a node-related declaration, and second, a file named like that can never sensibly be used for anything else. I do not think we want to encourage a one-typedef-per-header-file approach. The upcoming foreign table inheritance patch was doubling down on this bad idea by moving enum LockClauseStrength into its *own* can-never-be-used-for-anything-else file. Instead, let's put them both in a file named nodes/lockoptions.h. (They do seem to need a separate header file because we need them in both parsenodes.h and plannodes.h, and we don't want either of those including the other. Past practice might suggest adding them to nodes/nodes.h, but they don't seem sufficiently globally useful to justify that.) Committed separately since there's no functional change here, just some header-file refactoring.
* Merge the various forms of transaction commit & abort records.Andres Freund2015-03-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since 465883b0a two versions of commit records have existed. A compact version that was used when no cache invalidations, smgr unlinks and similar were needed, and a full version that could deal with all that. Additionally the full version was embedded into twophase commit records. That resulted in a measurable reduction in the size of the logged WAL in some workloads. But more recently additions like logical decoding, which e.g. needs information about the database something was executed on, made it applicable in fewer situations. The static split generally made it hard to expand the commit record, because concerns over the size made it hard to add anything to the compact version. Additionally it's not particularly pretty to have twophase.c insert RM_XACT records. Rejigger things so that the commit and abort records only have one form each, including the twophase equivalents. The presence of the various optional (in the sense of not being in every record) pieces is indicated by a bits in the 'xinfo' flag. That flag previously was not included in compact commit records. To prevent an increase in size due to its presence, it's only included if necessary; signalled by a bit in the xl_info bits available for xact.c, similar to heapam.c's XLOG_HEAP_OPMASK/XLOG_HEAP_INIT_PAGE. Twophase commit/aborts are now the same as their normal counterparts. The original transaction's xid is included in an optional data field. This means that commit records generally are smaller, except in the case of a transaction with subtransactions, but no other special cases; the increase there is four bytes, which seems acceptable given that the more common case of not having subtransactions shrank. The savings are especially measurable for twophase commits, which previously always used the full version; but will in practice only infrequently have required that. The motivation for this work are not the space savings and and deduplication though; it's that it makes it easier to extend commit records with additional information. That's just a few lines of code now; without impacting the common case where that information is not needed.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The introduction of min_wal_size & max_wal_size in 88e982302684 makes it feasible to increase the default upper bound in checkpoint size. Previously raising the default would lead to a increased disk footprint, even if more segments weren't beneficial. The low default of checkpoint size is one of common performance problem users have thus increasing the default makes sense.
