* Prevent integer overflows during units conversion when displaying a GUCTom Lane2008-07-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | variable that has units. Per report from Stefan Kaltenbrunner. Backport to 8.2. I also backported my patch of 2007-06-21 that prevented comparable overflows on the input side, since that now seems to have enough field track record to be back-patched safely. That patch included addition of hints listing the available unit names, which I did not bother to strip out of it --- this will make a little more work for the translators, but they can copy the translation from 8.3, and anyway an untranslated hint is better than no hint.

* Fix identify_system_timezone() so that it tests the behavior of the systemTom Lane2008-07-01
| | | | | | | | | | | timezone setting in the current year and for 100 years back, rather than always examining years 1904-2004. The original coding would have problems distinguishing zones whose behavior diverged only after 2004; which is a situation we will surely face sometime, if it's not out there already. In passing, also prevent selection of the dummy "Factory" timezone, even if that's exactly what the system is using. Reporting time as GMT seems better than that.
* Teach autovacuum how to determine whether a temp table belongs to a crashedTom Lane2008-07-01

* Turn PGBE_ACTIVITY_SIZE into a GUC variable, track_activity_query_size.Heikki Linnakangas2008-06-30
| | | | | | | | | As the buffer could now be a lot larger than before, and copying it could thus be a lot more expensive than before, use strcpy instead of memcpy to copy the query string, as was already suggested in comments. Also, only copy the PgBackendStatus struct and string if the slot is in use. Patch by Thomas Lee, with some changes by me.
* Remove unnecessary coziness of GIN code with datum copying. Now thatTom Lane2008-06-29

* Consider a clause to be outerjoin_delayed if it references the nullable sideTom Lane2008-06-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | of any lower outer join, even if it also references the non-nullable side and so could not get pushed below the outer join anyway. We need this in case the clause is an OR clause: if it doesn't get marked outerjoin_delayed, create_or_index_quals() could pull an indexable restriction for the nullable side out of it, leading to wrong results as demonstrated by today's bug report from toruvinn. (See added regression test case for an example.) In principle this has been wrong for quite a while. In practice I don't think any branch before 8.3 can really show the failure, because create_or_index_quals() will only pull out indexable conditions, and before 8.3 those were always strict. So though we might have improperly generated null-extended rows in the outer join, they'd get discarded from the result anyway. The gating factor that makes the failure visible is that 8.3 considers "col IS NULL" to be indexable. Hence I'm not going to risk back-patching further than 8.3.

* Improve planner's estimation of the size of an append relation: rather thanTom Lane2008-06-27
| | | | | | | taking the maximum of any child rel's width, we should weight the widths proportionally to the number of rows expected from each child. In hindsight this is obviously correct because row width is really a proxy for the total physical size of the relation. Per discussion with Scott Carey (bug #4264).

* Reduce the alignment requirement of type "name" from int to char, and arrangeTom Lane2008-06-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | to suppress zero-padding of "name" entries in indexes. The alignment change is unlikely to save any space, but it is really needed anyway to make the world safe for our widespread practice of passing plain old C strings to functions that are declared as taking Name. In the previous coding, the C compiler was entitled to assume that a Name pointer was word-aligned; but we were failing to guarantee that. I think the reason we'd not seen failures is that usually the only thing that gets done with such a pointer is strcmp(), which is hard to optimize in a way that exploits word-alignment. Still, some enterprising compiler guy will probably think of a way eventually, or we might change our code in a way that exposes more-obvious optimization opportunities. The padding change is accomplished in one-liner fashion by declaring the "name" index opclasses to use storage type "cstring" in pg_opclass.h. Normally btree and hash don't allow a nondefault storage type, because they don't have any provisions for converting the input datum to another type. However, because name and cstring are effectively the same thing except for padding, no conversion is needed --- we only need index_form_tuple() to treat the datum as being cstring not name, and this is sufficient. This seems to make for about a one-third reduction in the typical sizes of system catalog indexes that involve "name" columns, of which we have many. These two changes are only weakly related, but the alignment change makes me feel safer that the padding change won't introduce problems, so I'm committing them together.
* Oops, make the MSVC build put fmgroids.h where it needs to be.Tom Lane2008-06-24

* Fix Gen_fmgrtab.sh to not rely on hard-wired knowledge of the column numbersTom Lane2008-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | in pg_proc. Also make it not emit duplicate extern declarations, and make it a bit more bulletproof in some other small ways. Likewise fix the equally hard-wired, and utterly undocumented, knowledge in the MSVC build scripts. For testing purposes and perhaps other uses in future, pull out that portion of the MSVC scripts into a standalone perl script equivalent to Gen_fmgrtab.sh, and make it generate actually identical output, rather than just more-or-less-the-same output. Motivated by looking at Pavel's variadic function patch. Whether or not that gets accepted, we can be sure that pg_proc's column set will change again in the future; it's time to not have to deal with this gotcha.
* Seems I was too optimistic in supposing that sinval's maxMsgNum could beTom Lane2008-06-20
| | | | | | | | | | | read and written without a lock. The value itself is atomic, sure, but on processors with weak memory ordering it's possible for a reader to see the value change before it sees the associated message written into the buffer array. Fix by introducing a spinlock that's used just to read and write maxMsgNum. (We could do this with less overhead if we recognized a concept of "memory access barrier"; is it worth introducing such a thing? At the moment probably not --- I can't measure any clear slowdown from adding the spinlock, so this solution is probably fine.) Per buildfarm results.
* Rewrite the sinval messaging mechanism to reduce contention and avoidTom Lane2008-06-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | unnecessary cache resets. The major changes are: * When the queue overflows, we only issue a cache reset to the specific backend or backends that still haven't read the oldest message, rather than resetting everyone as in the original coding. * When we observe backend(s) falling well behind, we signal SIGUSR1 to only one backend, the one that is furthest behind and doesn't already have a signal outstanding for it. When it finishes catching up, it will in turn signal SIGUSR1 to the next-furthest-back guy, if there is one that is far enough behind to justify a signal. The PMSIGNAL_WAKEN_CHILDREN mechanism is removed. * We don't attempt to clean out dead messages after every message-receipt operation; rather, we do it on the insertion side, and only when the queue fullness passes certain thresholds. * Split SInvalLock into SInvalReadLock and SInvalWriteLock so that readers don't block writers nor vice versa (except during the infrequent queue cleanout operations). * Transfer multiple sinval messages for each acquisition of a read or write lock.
* Fix a few places that were non-multibyte-safe in tsearch configuration fileTom Lane2008-06-19
| | | | parsing. Per bug #4253 from Giorgio Valoti.
* Improve our #include situation by moving pointer types away from theAlvaro Herrera2008-06-19
| | | | | | | corresponding struct definitions. This allows other headers to avoid including certain highly-loaded headers such as rel.h and relscan.h, instead using just relcache.h, heapam.h or genam.h, which are more lightweight and thus cause less unnecessary dependencies.

* Improve error reporting for problems in text search configuration filesTom Lane2008-06-18
| | | | | | | | | | | by installing an error context subroutine that will provide the file name and line number for all errors detected while reading a config file. Some of the reader routines were already doing that in an ad-hoc way for errors detected directly in the reader, but it didn't help for problems detected in subroutines, such as encoding violations. Back-patch to 8.3 because 8.3 is where people will be trying to debug configuration files.
* Move wchar2char() and char2wchar() from tsearch into /mb to be easier toBruce Momjian2008-06-18

* Remove freeBackends counter from the sinval shared memory area. We used toTom Lane2008-06-17
| | | | | use it to help enforce superuser_reserved_backends, but since 8.1 it's just been dead weight.
* Clean up some problems with redundant cross-type arithmetic operators. AddTom Lane2008-06-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | int2-and-int8 implementations of the basic arithmetic operators +, -, *, /. This doesn't really add any new functionality, but it avoids "operator is not unique" failures that formerly occurred in these cases because the parser couldn't decide whether to promote the int2 to int4 or int8. We could alternatively have removed the existing cross-type operators, but experimentation shows that the cost of an additional type coercion expression node is noticeable compared to such cheap operators; so let's not give up any performance here. On the other hand, I removed the int2-and-int4 modulo (%) operators since they didn't seem as important from a performance standpoint. Per a complaint last January from ykhuang.

* Fix the code that adds regclass constants to a plan's list of relation OIDsTom Lane2008-06-17
| | | | | | | | | that it depends on for replan-forcing purposes. We need to consider plain OID constants too, because eval_const_expressions folds a RelabelType atop a Const to just a Const. This change could result in OID values that aren't really for tables getting added to the dependency list, but the worst-case consequence would be occasional useless replans. Per report from Gabriele Messineo.
* Clean up a number of bogosities around pltcl's handling of the Tcl "result":Tom Lane2008-06-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1. Directly reading interp->result is deprecated in Tcl 8.0 and later; you're supposed to use Tcl_GetStringResult. This code finally broke with Tcl 8.5, because Tcl_GetVar can now have side-effects on interp->result even though it preserves the logical state of the result. (There's arguably a Tcl issue here, because Tcl_GetVar could invalidate the pointer result of a just-preceding Tcl_GetStringResult, but I doubt the Tcl guys will see it as a bug.) 2. We were being sloppy about the encoding of the result: some places would push database-encoding data into the Tcl result, which should not happen, and we were assuming that any error result coming back from Tcl was in the database encoding, which is not a good assumption. 3. There were a lot of calls of Tcl_SetResult that uselessly specified TCL_VOLATILE for constant strings. This is only a minor performance issue, but I fixed it in passing since I had to look at all the calls anyway. #2 is a live bug regardless of which Tcl version you are interested in, so back-patch even to branches that are unlikely to be used with Tcl 8.5. I went back as far as 8.0, which is as far as the patch applied easily; 7.4 was using a different error processing scheme that has got its own problems :-(
