* Fix corner-case loss of precision in numeric pow() calculationDean Rasheed2016-05-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 7d9a4737c268f61fb8800957631f12d3f13be218 greatly improved the accuracy of the numeric transcendental functions, however it failed to consider the case where the result from pow() is close to the overflow threshold, for example 0.12 ^ -2345.6. For such inputs, where the result has more than 2000 digits before the decimal point, the decimal result weight estimate was being clamped to 2000, leading to a loss of precision in the final calculation. Fix this by replacing the clamping code with an overflow test that aborts the calculation early if the final result is sure to overflow, based on the overflow limit in exp_var(). This provides the same protection against integer overflow in the subsequent result scale computation as the original clamping code, but it also ensures that precision is never lost and saves compute cycles in cases that are sure to overflow. The new early overflow test works with the initial low-precision result (expected to be accurate to around 8 significant digits) and includes a small fuzz factor to ensure that it doesn't kick in for values that would not overflow exp_var(), so the overall overflow threshold of pow() is unchanged and consistent for all inputs with non-integer exponents.

This feature has shown enough immaturity that it was deemed better to rip it out before rushing some more fixes at the last minute.

* Fix transient mdsync() errors of truncated relations due to 72a98a6395.Andres Freund2016-05-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Unfortunately the segment size checks from 72a98a6395 had the negative side-effect of breaking a corner case in mdsync(): When processing a fsync request for a truncated away segment mdsync() could fail with "could not fsync file" (if previous segment < RELSEG_SIZE) because _mdfd_getseg() now wouldn't return the relevant segment anymore. The cleanest fix seems to be to allow the caller of _mdfd_getseg() to specify whether checks for RELSEG_SIZE are performed. To allow doing so, change the ExtensionBehavior enum into a bitmask. Besides allowing for the addition of EXTENSION_DONT_CHECK_SIZE, this makes for a nicer implementation of EXTENSION_REALLY_RETURN_NULL. Besides mdsync() the only callsite that should change behaviour due to this is mdprefetch() which now doesn't create segments anymore, even in recovery. Given the uses of mdprefetch() that seems better. Reported-By: Thom Brown Discussion: CAA-aLv72QazLvPdKZYpVn4a_Eh+i4_cxuB03k+iCuZM_xjc+6Q@mail.gmail.com
* Fix more things to be parallel-safe.Robert Haas2016-05-03
| | | | | | | | | | | Conversion functions were previously marked as parallel-unsafe, since that is the default, but in fact they are safe. Parallel-safe functions defined in pg_proc.h and redefined in system_views.sql were ending up as parallel-unsafe because the redeclarations were not marked PARALLEL SAFE. While editing system_views.sql, mark ts_debug() parallel safe also. Andreas Karlsson
* Tweak a few more things in preparation for upcoming pgindent run.Robert Haas2016-05-03

* Fix parallel safety markings for pg_start_backup.Robert Haas2016-05-02
| | | | | | | | | | | Commit 7117685461af50f50c03f43e6a622284c8d54694 made pg_start_backup parallel-restricted rather than parallel-safe, because it now relies on backend-private state that won't be synchronized with the parallel worker. However, it didn't update pg_proc.h. Separately, Andreas Karlsson observed that system_views.sql neglected to reiterate the parallel-safety markings whe redefining various functions, including this one; so add a PARALLEL RESTRICTED declaration there to match the new value in pg_proc.h.

* Small improvements to OPTIMIZER_DEBUG code.Tom Lane2016-04-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that Paths have their own rows field, print that rather than the parent relation's rowcount.

* Fix planner crash from pfree'ing a partial path that a GatherPath uses.Tom Lane2016-04-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We mustn't run generate_gather_paths() during add_paths_to_joinrel(), because that function can be invoked multiple times for the same target joinrel. Not only is it wasteful to build GatherPaths repeatedly, but a later add_partial_path() could delete the partial path that a previously created GatherPath depends on. Instead establish the convention that we do generate_gather_paths() for a rel only just before set_cheapest(). The code was accidentally not broken for baserels, because as of today there never is more than one partial path for a baserel. But that assumption obviously has a pretty short half-life, so move the generate_gather_paths() calls for those cases as well. Also add some generic comments explaining how and why this all works.

* Remove warning about num_sync being too large in synchronous_standby_names.Tom Lane2016-04-30
| | | | | | | | | | If we're not going to reject such setups entirely, throwing a WARNING in check_synchronous_standby_names() is unhelpful, because it will cause the warning to be logged again every time the postmaster receives SIGHUP. Per discussion, just remove the warning. In passing, improve the documentation for synchronous_commit, which had not gotten the word that now there can be more than one synchronous standby.
* Fix mishandling of equivalence-class tests in parameterized plans.Tom Lane2016-04-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Given a three-or-more-way equivalence class, such as X.Y = Y.Y = Z.Z, it was possible for the planner to omit one of the quals needed to enforce that all members of the equivalence class are actually equal. This only happened in the case of a parameterized join node for two of the relations, that is a plan tree like Nested Loop -> Scan X -> Nested Loop -> Scan Y -> Scan Z Filter: Z.Z = X.X The eclass machinery normally expects to apply X.X = Y.Y when those two relations are joined, but in this shape of plan tree they aren't joined until the top node --- and, if the lower nested loop is marked as parameterized by X, the top node will assume that the relevant eclass condition(s) got pushed down into the lower node. On the other hand, the scan of Z assumes that it's only responsible for constraining Z.Z to match any one of the other eclass members. So one or another of the required quals sometimes fell between the cracks, depending on whether consideration of the eclass in get_joinrel_parampathinfo() for the lower nested loop chanced to generate X.X = Y.Y or X.X = Z.Z as the appropriate constraint there. If it generated the latter, it'd erroneously suppose that the Z scan would take care of matters. To fix, force X.X = Y.Y to be generated and applied at that join node when this case occurs. This is *extremely* hard to hit in practice, because various planner behaviors conspire to mask the problem; starting with the fact that the planner doesn't really like to generate a parameterized plan of the above shape. (It might have been impossible to hit it before we tweaked things to allow this plan shape for star-schema cases.) Many thanks to Alexander Kirkouski for submitting a reproducible test case. The bug can be demonstrated in all branches back to 9.2 where parameterized paths were introduced, so back-patch that far.
* Add a few entries to the tail of time mapping, to see old values.Kevin Grittner2016-04-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Without a few entries beyond old_snapshot_threshold, the lookup would often fail, resulting in the more aggressive pruning or vacuum being skipped often enough to matter. This was very clearly shown by a python test script posted by Ants Aasma, and was likely a factor in an earlier but somewhat less clear-cut test case posted by Jeff Janes. This patch makes no change to the logic, per se -- it just makes the array of mapping entries big enough to make lookup misses based on timing much less likely. An occasional miss is still possible if a thread stalls for more than 10 minutes, but that does not create any problem with correctness of behavior. Besides, if things are so busy that a thread is stalling for more than 10 minutes, it is probably OK to skip the more aggressive cleanup at that particular point in time.

* Remember asking for feedback during walsender shutdown.Andres Freund2016-04-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since 5a991ef8 we're explicitly asking for feedback from the receiving side when shutting down walsender, if there's not yet replicated data. Unfortunately we didn't remember (i.e. set waiting_for_ping_response to true) having asked for feedback, leading to scenarios in which replies were requested at a high frequency. I can't reproduce this problem on my laptop, I think that's because the problem requires a significant TCP window to manifest due to the !pq_is_send_pending() condition. But since this clearly is a bug, let's fix it. There's quite possibly more wrong than just this though. While fiddling with WalSndDone(), I rewrote a hard to understand comment about looking at the flush vs. the write position.

* 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.

* Prevent multiple cleanup process for pending list in GIN.Teodor Sigaev2016-04-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, ginInsertCleanup could exit early if it detects that someone else is cleaning up the pending list, without waiting for that someone else to finish the job. But in this case vacuum could miss tuples to be deleted. Cleanup process now locks metapage with a help of heavyweight LockPage(ExclusiveLock), and it guarantees that there is no another cleanup process at the same time. Lock is taken differently depending on caller of cleanup process: any vacuums and gin_clean_pending_list() will be blocked until lock becomes available, ordinary insert uses conditional lock to prevent indefinite waiting on lock. Insert into pending list doesn't use this lock, so insertion isn't blocked. Also, patch adds stopping of cleanup process when at-start-cleanup-tail is reached in order to prevent infinite cleanup in case of massive insertion. But it will stop only for automatic maintenance tasks like autovacuum. Patch introduces choice of limit of memory to use: autovacuum_work_mem, maintenance_work_mem or work_mem depending on call path. Patch for previous releases should be reworked due to changes between 9.6 and previous ones in this area.

* Clean up parsing of synchronous_standby_names GUC variable.Tom Lane2016-04-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 989be0810dffd08b added a flex/bison lexer/parser to interpret synchronous_standby_names. It was done in a pretty crufty way, though, making assorted end-use sites responsible for calling the parser at the right times. That was not only vulnerable to errors of omission, but made it possible that lexer/parser errors occur at very undesirable times, and created memory leakages even if there was no error. Instead, perform the parsing once during check_synchronous_standby_names and let guc.c manage the resulting data. To do that, we have to flatten the parsed representation into a single hunk of malloc'd memory, but that is not very hard. While at it, work a little harder on making useful error reports for parsing problems; the previous code felt that "synchronous_standby_names parser returned 1" was an appropriate user-facing error message. (To be fair, it did also log a syntax error message, but separately from the GUC problem report, which is at best confusing.) It had some outright bugs in the face of invalid input, too. I (tgl) also concluded that we need to restrict unquoted names in synchronous_standby_names to be just SQL identifiers. The previous coding would accept darn near anything, which (1) makes the quoting convention both nearly-unnecessary and formally ambiguous, (2) makes it very hard to understand what is a syntax error and what is a creative interpretation of the input as a standby name, and (3) makes it impossible to further extend the syntax in future without a compatibility break. I presume that we're intending future extensions of the syntax, else this parsing infrastructure is massive overkill, so (3) is an important objection. Since we've taken a compatibility hit for non-identifier names with this change anyway, we might as well lock things down now and insist that users use double quotes for standby names that aren't identifiers.

* Clean up a few parallelism-related things that pgindent wants to mangle.Robert Haas2016-04-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | In nodeFuncs.c, pgindent wants to introduce spurious indentation into the definitions of planstate_tree_walker and planstate_walk_subplans. Fix that by spreading the definition out across several lines, similar to what is already done for other walker functions in that file. In execParallel.c, in the definition of SharedExecutorInstrumentation, pgindent wants to insert more whitespace between the type name and the member name. That causes it to mangle comments later on the line. Fix by moving the comments out of line. Now that we have a bit more room, add some more details that may be useful to the next person reading this code.

* Don't open formally non-existent segments in _mdfd_getseg().Andres Freund2016-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before this commit _mdfd_getseg(), in contrast to mdnblocks(), did not verify whether all segments leading up to the to-be-opened one, were RELSEG_SIZE sized. That is e.g. not the case after truncating a relation, because later segments just get truncated to zero length, not removed. Once a "non-existent" segment has been opened in a session, mdnblocks() will return wrong results, causing errors like "could not read block %u in file" when accessing blocks. Closing the session, or the later arrival of relevant invalidation messages, would "fix" the problem. That, so far, was mostly harmless, because most segment accesses are only done after an mdnblocks() call. But since 428b1d6b29ca we try to open segments that might have been deleted, to trigger kernel writeback from a backend's queue of recent writes. To fix check segment sizes in _mdfd_getseg() when opening previously unopened segments. In practice this shouldn't imply a lot of additional lseek() calls, because mdnblocks() will most of the time already have opened all relevant segments. This commit also fixes a second problem, namely that _mdfd_getseg( EXTENSION_RETURN_NULL) extends files during recovery, which is not desirable for the mdwriteback() case. Add EXTENSION_REALLY_RETURN_NULL, which does not behave that way, and use it.

* Emit invalidations to standby for transactions without xid.Andres Freund2016-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | So far, when a transaction with pending invalidations, but without an assigned xid, committed, we simply ignored those invalidation messages. That's problematic, because those are actually sent for a reason. Known symptoms of this include that existing sessions on a hot-standby replica sometimes fail to notice new concurrently built indexes and visibility map updates. The solution is to WAL log such invalidations in transactions without an xid. We considered to alternatively force-assign an xid, but that'd be problematic for vacuum, which might be run in systems with few xids. Important: This adds a new WAL record, but as the patch has to be back-patched, we can't bump the WAL page magic. This means that standbys have to be updated before primaries; otherwise "PANIC: standby_redo: unknown op code 32" errors can be encountered.

* Fix order of shutdown cleanup operations in PostgresNode.pm.Tom Lane2016-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, database clusters created by a TAP test were shut down by DESTROY methods attached to the PostgresNode objects representing them. The trouble with that is that if the objects survive into the final global destruction phase (which they do), Perl executes the DESTROY methods in an unspecified order. Thus, the order of shutdown of multiple clusters was indeterminate, which might lead to not-very-reproducible errors getting logged (eg from a slave whose master might or might not get killed first). Worse, the File::Temp objects representing the temporary PGDATA directories might get destroyed before the PostgresNode objects, resulting in attempts to delete PGDATA directories that still have live servers in them. On Windows, this would lead to directory deletion failures; on Unix, it usually had no effects worse than erratic "could not open temporary statistics file "pg_stat/global.tmp": No such file or directory" log messages. While none of this would affect the reported result of the TAP test, which is already determined, it could be very confusing when one is trying to understand from the logs what went wrong with a failed test. To fix, do the postmaster shutdowns in an END block rather than at object destruction time. The END block will execute at a well-defined (and reasonable) time during script termination, and it will stop the postmasters in order of PostgresNode object creation. (Perhaps we should change that to be reverse order of creation, but the main point here is that we now have control which we did not before.) Use "pg_ctl stop", not an asynchronous kill(SIGQUIT), so that we wait for the postmasters to shut down before proceeding with directory deletion. Deletion of temporary directories still happens in an unspecified order during global destruction, but I can see no reason to care about that once the postmasters are stopped.
* Yet more portability hacking for degree-based trig functions.Tom Lane2016-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The true explanation for Peter Eisentraut's report of inexact asind results seems to be that (a) he's compiling into x87 instruction set, which uses wider-than-double float registers, plus (b) the library function asin() on his platform returns a result that is wider than double and is not rounded to double width. To fix, we have to force the function's result to be rounded comparably to what happened to the scaling constant asin_0_5. Experimentation suggests that storing it into a volatile local variable is the least ugly way of making that happen. Although only asin() is known to exhibit an observable inexact result, we'd better do this in all the places where we're hoping to get an exact result by scaling.

* New method for preventing compile-time calculation of degree constants.Tom Lane2016-04-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 65abaab547a5758b tried to prevent the scaling constants used in the degree-based trig functions from being precomputed at compile time, because some compilers do that with functions that don't yield results identical-to-the-last-bit to what you get at runtime. A report from Peter Eisentraut suggests that some recent compilers are smart enough to see through that trick, though. Instead, let's put the inputs to these calculations into non-const global variables, which should be a more reliable way of convincing the compiler that it can't assume that they are compile-time constants. (If we really get desperate, we could mark these variables "volatile", but I do not believe we should have to.)

So we must really bind to the target port --- and at least on my Linux box, we need a listen() as well, or conflicts won't be detected. We rely on SO_REUSEADDR to prevent problems from starting a postmaster on the socket immediately after we've bound to it in the test code. (There may be platforms where that doesn't work too well. But fortunately, we only really care whether this works on Windows, and there the default behavior should be OK.)
