* Allow vcregress.pl to run an arbitrary TAP test setAndrew Dunstan2017-05-01
| | | | | | | | | | | Currently only provision for running the bin checks in a single step is provided for. Now these tests can be run individually, as well as tests in other locations (e.g. src.test/recover). Also provide for suppressing unnecessary temp installs by setting the NO_TEMP_INSTALL environment variable just as the Makefiles do. Backpatch to 9.4.
* Fix logical replication launcher wake up and resetPeter Eisentraut2017-05-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | After the logical replication launcher was told to wake up at commit (for example, by a CREATE SUBSCRIPTION command), the flag to wake up was not reset, so it would be woken up at every following commit as well. So fix that by resetting the flag. Also, we don't need to wake up anything if the transaction was rolled back. Just reset the flag in that case.

* Sync our copy of the timezone library with IANA release tzcode2017b.Tom Lane2017-04-30
| | | | | | | | | | | zic no longer mishandles some transitions in January 2038 when it attempts to work around Qt bug 53071. This fixes a bug affecting Pacific/Tongatapu that was introduced in zic 2016e. localtime.c now contains a workaround, useful when loading a file generated by a buggy zic. There are assorted cosmetic changes as well, notably relocation of a bunch of #defines.
* Fix possible null pointer dereference or invalid warning message.Tom Lane2017-04-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | Thinko in commit de4389712: this warning message references the wrong "LogicalRepWorker *" variable. This would often result in a core dump, but if it didn't, the message would show the wrong subscription OID. In passing, adjust the message text to format a subscription OID similarly to how that's done elsewhere in the function; and fix grammatical issues in some nearby messages. Per Coverity testing.
* Micro-optimize some slower queries in the opr_sanity regression test.Tom Lane2017-04-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Convert the binary_coercible() and physically_coercible() functions from SQL to plpgsql. It's not that plpgsql is inherently better at doing queries; if you simply convert the previous single SQL query into one RETURN expression, it's no faster. The problem with the existing code is that it fools the plancache into deciding that it's worth re-planning the query every time, since constant-folding with a concrete value for $2 allows elimination of at least one sub-SELECT. In reality that's using the planner to do the equivalent of a few runtime boolean tests, causing the function to run much slower than it should. Splitting the AND/OR logic into separate plpgsql statements allows each if-expression to acquire a static plan. Also, get rid of some uses of obj_description() in favor of explicitly joining to pg_description, allowing the joins to be optimized better. (Someday we might improve the SQL-function-inlining logic enough that this happens automatically, but today is not that day.) Together, these changes reduce the runtime of the opr_sanity regression test by about a factor of two on one of my slower machines. They don't seem to help as much on a fast machine, but this should at least benefit the buildfarm.

* Wait between tablesync worker restartsPeter Eisentraut2017-04-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before restarting a tablesync worker for the same relation, wait wal_retrieve_retry_interval (currently 5s by default). This avoids restarting failing workers in a tight loop. We keep the last start times in a hash table last_start_times that is separate from the table_states list, because that list is cleared out on syscache invalidation, which happens whenever a table finishes syncing. The hash table is kept until all tables have finished syncing. A future project might be to unify these two and keep everything in one data structure, but for now this is a less invasive change to accomplish the original purpose. For the test suite, set wal_retrieve_retry_interval to its minimum value, to not increase the test suite run time.

* Remove unnecessairly duplicated gram.y productionsStephen Frost2017-04-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Declarative partitioning duplicated the TypedTableElement productions, evidently to remove the need to specify WITH OPTIONS when creating partitions. Instead, simply make WITH OPTIONS optional in the TypedTableElement production and remove all of the duplicate PartitionElement-related productions. This change simplifies the syntax and makes WITH OPTIONS optional when adding defaults, constraints or storage parameters to columns when creating either typed tables or partitions. Also update pg_dump to no longer include WITH OPTIONS, since it's not necessary, and update the documentation to reflect that WITH OPTIONS is now optional.
* Don't build full initial logical decoding snapshot if NOEXPORT_SNAPSHOT.Andres Freund2017-04-27
| | | | | | | | | Earlier commits (56e19d938dd14 and 2bef06d5164) make it cheaper to create a logical slot if not exporting the initial snapshot. If NOEXPORT_SNAPSHOT is specified, we can skip the overhead, not just when creating a slot via sql (which can't export snapshots). As NOEXPORT_SNAPSHOT has only recently been introduced, this shouldn't be backpatched.
* Don't use on-disk snapshots for exported logical decoding snapshot.Andres Freund2017-04-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Logical decoding stores historical snapshots on disk, so that logical decoding can restart without having to reconstruct a snapshot from scratch (for which the resources are not guaranteed to be present anymore). These serialized snapshots were also used when creating a new slot via the walsender interface, which can export a "full" snapshot (i.e. one that can read all tables, not just catalog ones). The problem is that the serialized snapshots are only useful for catalogs and not for normal user tables. Thus the use of such a serialized snapshot could result in an inconsistent snapshot being exported, which could lead to queries returning wrong data. This would only happen if logical slots are created while another logical slot already exists.

* Avoid slow shutdown of pg_basebackup.Tom Lane2017-04-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | pg_basebackup's child process did not pay any attention to the pipe from its parent while waiting for input from the source server. If no server data was arriving, it would only wake up and check the pipe every standby_message_timeout or so. This creates a problem since the parent process might determine and send the desired stop position only after the server has reached end-of-WAL and stopped sending data. In the src/test/recovery regression tests, the timing is repeatably such that it takes nearly 10 seconds for the child process to realize that it should shut down. It's not clear how often that would happen in real-world cases, but it sure seems like a bug --- and if the user turns off standby_message_timeout or sets it very large, the delay could be a lot worse. To fix, expand the StreamCtl API to allow the pipe input FD to be passed down to the low-level wait routine, and watch both sockets when sleeping. (Note: AFAICS this issue doesn't affect the Windows port, since it doesn't rely on a pipe to transfer the stop position to the child thread.)

* Fix bug so logical rep launcher saves correctly time of last startup of worker.Fujii Masao2017-04-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously the logical replication launcher stored the last timestamp when it started the worker, in the local variable "last_start_time", in order to check whether wal_retrive_retry_interval elapsed since the last startup of worker. If it has elapsed, the launcher sees pg_subscription and starts new worker if necessary. This is for limitting the startup of worker to once a wal_retrieve_retry_interval. The bug was that the variable "last_start_time" was defined and always initialized with 0 at the beginning of the launcher's main loop. So even if it's set to the last timestamp in later phase of the loop, it's always reset to 0. Therefore the launcher could not check correctly whether wal_retrieve_retry_interval elapsed since the last startup. This patch moves the variable "last_start_time" outside the main loop so that it will not be reset.

* Preserve required !catalog tuples while computing initial decoding snapshot.Andres Freund2017-04-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The logical decoding machinery already preserved all the required catalog tuples, which is sufficient in the course of normal logical decoding, but did not guarantee that non-catalog tuples were preserved during computation of the initial snapshot when creating a slot over the replication protocol. This could cause a corrupted initial snapshot being exported. The time window for issues is usually not terribly large, but on a busy server it's perfectly possible to it hit it. Ongoing decoding is not affected by this bug. To avoid increased overhead for the SQL API, only retain additional tuples when a logical slot is being created over the replication protocol. To do so this commit changes the signature of CreateInitDecodingContext(), but it seems unlikely that it's being used in an extension, so that's probably ok. In a drive-by fix, fix handling of ReplicationSlotsComputeRequiredXmin's already_locked argument, which should only apply to ProcArrayLock, not ReplicationSlotControlLock.

* Make latch.c more paranoid about child-process cases.Tom Lane2017-04-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Although the postmaster doesn't currently create a self-pipe or any latches, there's discussion of it doing so in future. It's also conceivable that a shared_preload_libraries extension would try to create such a thing in the postmaster process today. In that case the self-pipe FDs would be inherited by forked child processes. latch.c was entirely unprepared for such a case and could suffer an assertion failure, or worse try to use the inherited pipe if somebody called WaitLatch without having called InitializeLatchSupport in that process. Make it keep track of whether InitializeLatchSupport has been called in the *current* process, and do the right thing if state has been inherited from a parent. Apply FD_CLOEXEC to file descriptors created in latch.c (the self-pipe, as well as epoll event sets). This ensures that child processes spawned in backends, the archiver, etc cannot accidentally or intentionally mess with these FDs. It also ensures that we end up with the right state for the self-pipe in EXEC_BACKEND processes, which otherwise wouldn't know to close the postmaster's self-pipe FDs. Back-patch to 9.6, mainly to keep latch.c looking similar in all branches it exists in. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/8322.1493240739@sss.pgh.pa.us

* Allow multiple bgworkers to be launched per postmaster iteration.Tom Lane2017-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, maybe_start_bgworker() would launch at most one bgworker process per call, on the grounds that the postmaster might otherwise neglect its other duties for too long. However, that seems overly conservative, especially since bad effects only become obvious when many hundreds of bgworkers need to be launched at once. On the other side of the coin is that the existing logic could result in substantial delay of bgworker launches, because ServerLoop isn't guaranteed to iterate immediately after a signal arrives. (My attempt to fix that by using pselect(2) encountered too many portability question marks, and in any case could not help on platforms without pselect().) One could also question the wisdom of using an O(N^2) processing method if the system is intended to support so many bgworkers. As a compromise, allow that function to launch up to 100 bgworkers per call (and in consequence, rename it to maybe_start_bgworkers). This will allow any normal parallel-query request for workers to be satisfied immediately during sigusr1_handler, avoiding the question of whether ServerLoop will be able to launch more promptly. There is talk of rewriting the postmaster to use a WaitEventSet to avoid the signal-response-delay problem, but I'd argue that this change should be kept even after that happens (if it ever does). Backpatch to 9.6 where parallel query was added. The issue exists before that, but previous uses of bgworkers typically aren't as sensitive to how quickly they get launched.

* Fix various concurrency issues in logical replication worker launchingPeter Eisentraut2017-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The code was originally written with assumption that launcher is the only process starting the worker. However that hasn't been true since commit 7c4f52409 which failed to modify the worker management code adequately. This patch adds an in_use field to the LogicalRepWorker struct to indicate whether the worker slot is being used and uses proper locking everywhere this flag is set or read. However if the parent process dies while the new worker is starting and the new worker fails to attach to shared memory, this flag would never get cleared. We solve this rare corner case by adding a sort of garbage collector for in_use slots. This uses another field in the LogicalRepWorker struct named launch_time that contains the time when the worker was started. If any request to start a new worker does not find free slot, we'll check for workers that were supposed to start but took too long to actually do so, and reuse their slot. In passing also fix possible race conditions when stopping a worker that hasn't finished starting yet.

* Use pselect(2) not select(2), if available, to wait in postmaster's loop.Tom Lane2017-04-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Traditionally we've unblocked signals, called select(2), and then blocked signals again. The code expects that the select() will be cancelled with EINTR if an interrupt occurs; but there's a race condition, which is that an already-pending signal will be delivered as soon as we unblock, and then when we reach select() there will be nothing preventing it from waiting. This can result in a long delay before we perform any action that ServerLoop was supposed to have taken in response to the signal. As with the somewhat-similar symptoms fixed by commit 893902085, the main practical problem is slow launching of parallel workers. The window for trouble is usually pretty short, corresponding to one iteration of ServerLoop; but it's not negligible. To fix, use pselect(2) in place of select(2) where available, as that's designed to solve exactly this problem. Where not available, we continue to use the old way, and are no worse off than before. pselect(2) has been required by POSIX since about 2001, so most modern platforms should have it. A bigger portability issue is that some implementations are said to be non-atomic, ie pselect() isn't really any different from unblock/select/reblock. Still, we're no worse off than before on such a platform. There is talk of rewriting the postmaster to use a WaitEventSet and not do signal response work in signal handlers, at which point this could be reverted, since we'd be using a self-pipe to solve the race condition. But that's not happening before v11 at the earliest. Back-patch to 9.6. The problem exists much further back, but the worst symptom arises only in connection with parallel query, so it does not seem worth taking any portability risks in older branches.

* Run the postmaster's signal handlers without SA_RESTART.Tom Lane2017-04-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The postmaster keeps signals blocked everywhere except while waiting for something to happen in ServerLoop(). The code expects that the select(2) will be cancelled with EINTR if an interrupt occurs; without that, followup actions that should be performed by ServerLoop() itself will be delayed. However, some platforms interpret the SA_RESTART signal flag as meaning that they should restart rather than cancel the select(2). Worse yet, some of them restart it with the original timeout delay, meaning that a steady stream of signal interrupts can prevent ServerLoop() from iterating at all if there are no incoming connection requests. Observable symptoms of this, on an affected platform such as HPUX 10, include extremely slow parallel query startup (possibly as much as 30 seconds) and failure to update timestamps on the postmaster's sockets and lockfiles when no new connections arrive for a long time. We can fix this by running the postmaster's signal handlers without SA_RESTART. That would be quite a scary change if the range of code where signals are accepted weren't so tiny, but as it is, it seems safe enough. (Note that postmaster children do, and must, reset all the handlers before unblocking signals; so this change should not affect any child process.) There is talk of rewriting the postmaster to use a WaitEventSet and not do signal response work in signal handlers, at which point it might be appropriate to revert this patch. But that's not happening before v11 at the earliest. Back-patch to 9.6.

| | | | | | | | | | poll.h is mandated by Single Unix Spec v2, the usual baseline for postgres on unix. None of the unixoid buildfarms animals has sys/poll.h but not poll.h. Therefore there's not much point to test for sys/poll.h's existence and include it optionally.

* Zero padding in replication origin's checkpointed on disk-state.Andres Freund2017-04-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This seems to be largely cosmetic, avoiding valgrind bleats and the like. The uninitialized padding influences the CRC of the on-disk entry, but because it's also used when verifying the CRC, that doesn't cause spurious failures. Backpatch nonetheless. It's a bit unfortunate that contrib/test_decoding/sql/replorigin.sql doesn't exercise the checkpoint path, but checkpoints are fairly expensive on weaker machines, and we'd have to stop/start for that to be meaningful. Author: Andres Freund Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20170422183123.w2jgiuxtts7qrqaq@alap3.anarazel.de Backpatch: 9.5, where replication origins were introduced
* Initialize all memory for logical replication relation cache.Andres Freund2017-04-23
| | | | | | | | | | | As reported by buildfarm animal skink / valgrind, some of the variables weren't always initialized. To avoid further mishaps use memset to ensure the entire entry is initialized. Author: Petr Jelinek Reported-By: Andres Freund Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20170422183123.w2jgiuxtts7qrqaq@alap3.anarazel.de Backpatch: none, code new in master
* Remove select(2) backed latch implementation.Andres Freund2017-04-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | poll(2) is required by Single Unix Spec v2, the usual baseline for postgres (leaving windows aside). There's not been any buildfarm animals without poll(2) for a long while, leaving the select(2) implementation to be largely untested. On windows, including mingw, poll() is not available, but we have a special case implementation for windows anyway.

* Fix order of arguments to SubTransSetParent().Tom Lane2017-04-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | ProcessTwoPhaseBuffer (formerly StandbyRecoverPreparedTransactions) mixed up the parent and child XIDs when calling SubTransSetParent to record the transactions' relationship in pg_subtrans. Remarkably, analysis by Simon Riggs suggests that this doesn't lead to visible problems (at least, not in non-Assert builds). That might explain why we'd not noticed it before. Nonetheless, it's surely wrong. This code was born broken, so back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20110.1492905318@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Fix TAP infrastructure to support Mingw betterAndrew Dunstan2017-04-23
| | | | | | | archive_command and restore_command need to refer to Windows paths, not Msys virtual file system paths, as postgres is completely unaware of the latter, so prefix them with the Windows path to the virtual file system root. Clean psql and pg_recvlogical output of carriage returns.
