It's silly to define these counts as narrower than they might someday
need to be. Also, I believe that the BLCKSZ * nflush calculation in
mdwriteback was capable of overflowing an int.

Commit 428b1d6b29ca599c5700d4bc4f4ce4c5880369bf introduced the use of
msync() for flushing dirty data from the kernel's file buffers. Several
portability issues were overlooked, though:
* Not all implementations of mmap() think that nbytes == 0 means "map
the whole file". To fix, use lseek() to find out the true length.
Fix callers of pg_flush_data to be aware that nbytes == 0 may result
in trashing the file's seek position.
* Not all implementations of mmap() will accept partial-page mmap
requests. To fix, round down the length request to whatever sysconf()
says the page size is. (I think this is OK from a portability standpoint,
because sysconf() is required by SUS v2, and we aren't trying to compile
this part on Windows anyway. Buildfarm should let us know if not.)
* On 32-bit machines, the file size might exceed the available free
address space, or even exceed what will fit in size_t. Check for
the latter explicitly to avoid passing a false request size to mmap().
If mmap fails, silently fall through to the next implementation method,
rather than bleating to the postmaster log and giving up.
* mmap'ing directories fails on some platforms, and even if it works,
msync'ing the directory is quite unlikely to help, as for that matter are
the other flush implementations. In pre_sync_fname(), just skip flush
attempts on directories.
In passing, copy-edit the comments a bit.

I've seen one too many "could not bind IPv4 socket: No error" log entries
from the Windows buildfarm members. Per previous discussion, this is
likely caused by the fact that we're doing nothing to translate
WSAGetLastError() to errno. Put in a wrapper layer to do that.
If this works as expected, it should get back-patched, but let's see what
happens in the buildfarm first.

That unused function was introduced as a sample because synchronous
replication or replication monitoring tools might need it in the future.
Recently commit 989be08 added the function SyncRepGetOldestSyncRecPtr
which provides almost the same functionality for multiple synchronous
standbys feature. So it's time to remove that unused sample function.
This commit does that.

Coverity complained about this code, not without reason because it was
rather messy. Adjust it to not scribble on the passed string; that adds
one malloc/free cycle per column name, which is going to be insignificant
in context. We can actually const-ify both the string argument and the
PGresult.

On a big NUMA machine with 1000 connections in saturation load
there was a performance regression due to spinlock contention, for
acquiring values which were never used. Just fill with dummy
values if we're not going to use them.
This patch has not been benchmarked yet on a big NUMA machine, but
it seems like a good idea on general principle, and it seemed to
prevent an apparent 2.2% regression on a single-socket i7 box
running 200 connections at saturation load.

Rename this function to GenericXLogRegisterBuffer() to make it clearer
what it does, and leave room for other sorts of "register" actions in
future. Also, replace its "bool isNew" argument with an integer flags
argument, so as to allow adding more flags in future without an API
break.

The previous coding could allow the contents of the "hole" between pd_lower
and pd_upper to diverge during replay from what it had been when the update
was originally applied. This would pose a problem if checksums were in
use, and in any case would complicate forensic comparisons between master
and slave servers. So force the "hole" to contain zeroes, both at initial
application of a generically-logged action, and at replay.

In commit b0e40d189325dc7a54d2546245e766f8c47a7c8d, I should have just
removed the /D switch defining WIN64. The reason the code worked before
is that all Windows64 compilers automatically predefine _WIN64. Perhaps
at one time we had code that depended on WIN64 being defined, but it's
long gone, and we should not encourage any reappearance. Per discussion
with Christian Ullrich.

When IF NOT EXISTS was added to CREATE TABLE AS, this logic didn't get

Everyplace else thinks it's _WIN64, so make these places fall in line.
The pg_regress.c usage is not going to result in any change in behavior,
only suppressing (or not) a compiler warning about downcasting HANDLEs.
So there seems no need for back-patching there.
The libpq/win32.mak usage might represent an actual bug, if anyone were
using this script to build for Windows64, which perhaps nobody is.
Given the lack of field complaints, no back-patch here either.

It turns out that those PyErr_Clear() calls I removed from plpy_elog.c
in 7e3bb080387f4143 et al were not quite as random as they appeared: they
mask a Python 2.3.x bug. (Specifically, it turns out that PyType_Ready()
can fail if the error indicator is set on entry, and PLy_traceback's fetch
of frame.f_code may be the first operation in a session that requires the
"frame" type to be readied. Ick.) Put back the clear call, but in a more
centralized place closer to what it's protecting, and this time with a
comment warning what it's really for.
Per buildfarm member prairiedog. Although prairiedog was only failing
on HEAD, it seems clearly possible for this to occur in older branches
as well, so back-patch to 9.2 the same as the previous patch.

I was initially concerned that the some of the hundreds of
references to BufferGetPage() where the literal
BGP_NO_SNAPSHOT_TEST were passed might not optimize as well as a
macro, leading to some hard-to-find performance regressions in
corner cases. Inspection of disassembled code has shown identical
code at all inspected locations, and the size difference doesn't
amount to even one byte per such call. So make it readable.

It's not entirely clear to me whether PyString_AsString can return
null (looks like the answer might vary between Python 2 and 3).
But in any case, this code's attempt to cope with the possibility
was quite broken, because pstrdup() neither allows a null argument
nor ever returns a null.
Moreover, the code below this point assumes that "message" is a
palloc'd string, which would not be the case for a dgettext result.
Fix both problems by doing the pstrdup step separately.

Coverity complained about this resource leak (why now, I don't know,
since it's been like that a long time). Our general policy in pg_dump

PLy_elog() could attempt to access strings that Python had already freed,
because the strings that PLy_get_spi_error_data() returns are simply
pointers into storage associated with the error "val" PyObject. That's
fine at the instant PLy_get_spi_error_data() returns them, but just after
that PLy_traceback() intentionally releases the only refcount on that
object, allowing it to be freed --- so that the strings we pass to
ereport() are dangling pointers.
In principle this could result in garbage output or a coredump. In
practice, I think the risk is pretty low, because there are no Python
operations between where we decrement that refcount and where we use the
strings (and copy them into PG storage), and thus no reason for Python
to recycle the storage. Still, it's clearly hazardous, and it leads to
Valgrind complaints when running under a Valgrind that hasn't been
lobotomized to ignore Python memory allocations.
The code was a mess anyway: we fetched the error data out of Python
(clearing Python's error indicator) with PyErr_Fetch, examined it, pushed
it back into Python with PyErr_Restore (re-setting the error indicator),
then immediately pulled it back out with another PyErr_Fetch. Just to
confuse matters even more, there were some gratuitous-and-yet-hazardous
PyErr_Clear calls in the "examine" step, and we didn't get around to doing
PyErr_NormalizeException until after the second PyErr_Fetch, making it even
less clear which object was being manipulated where and whether we still
had a refcount on it. (If PyErr_NormalizeException did substitute a
different "val" object, it's possible that the problem could manifest for
real, because then we'd be doing assorted Python stuff with no refcount
on the object we have string pointers into.)
So, rearrange all that into some semblance of sanity, and don't decrement
the refcount on the Python error objects until the end of PLy_elog().
In HEAD, I failed to resist the temptation to reformat some messy bits
from 5c3c3cd0a3046339 along the way.
Back-patch as far as 9.2, because the code is substantially the same
that far back. I believe that 9.1 has the bug as well; but the code
around it is rather different and I don't want to take a chance on
breaking something for what seems a low-probability problem.

Previously we used a spinlock, in adition to the atomically manipulated
->state field, to protect the wait queue. But it's pretty simple to
instead perform the locking using a flag in state.
Due to 6150a1b0 BufferDescs, on platforms (like PPC) with > 1 byte
spinlocks, increased their size above 64byte. As 64 bytes are the size
we pad allocated BufferDescs to, this can increase false sharing;
causing performance problems in turn. Together with the previous commit
this reduces the size to <= 64 bytes on all common platforms.

Pinning/Unpinning a buffer is a very frequent operation; especially in
read-mostly cache resident workloads. Benchmarking shows that in various
scenarios the spinlock protecting a buffer header's state becomes a
significant bottleneck. The problem can be reproduced with pgbench -S on
larger machines, but can be considerably worse for queries which touch
the same buffers over and over at a high frequency (e.g. nested loops
over a small inner table).
To allow atomic operations to be used, cram BufferDesc's flags,
usage_count, buf_hdr_lock, refcount into a single 32bit atomic variable;
that allows to manipulate them together using 32bit compare-and-swap
operations. This requires reducing MAX_BACKENDS to 2^18-1 (which could
be lifted by using a 64bit field, but it's not a realistic configuration
atm).
As not all operations can easily implemented in a lockfree manner,
implement the previous buf_hdr_lock via a flag bit in the atomic
variable. That way we can continue to lock the header in places where
it's needed, but can get away without acquiring it in the more frequent
hot-paths. There's some additional operations which can be done without
the lock, but aren't in this patch; but the most important places are
covered.
As bufmgr.c now essentially re-implements spinlocks, abstract the delay
logic from s_lock.c into something more generic. It now has already two
users, and more are coming up; there's a follupw patch for lwlock.c at
least.
This patch is based on a proof-of-concept written by me, which Alexander
Korotkov made into a fully working patch; the committed version is again
revised by me. Benchmarking and testing has, amongst others, been
provided by Dilip Kumar, Alexander Korotkov, Robert Haas.
On a large x86 system improvements for readonly pgbench, with a high
client count, of a factor of 8 have been observed.

I used the wrong variable here. Doesn't make a difference today because
the only plausible caller passes a non-NULL variable, but someday it
will be wrong, and even today's correctness is subtle: the caller that
does pass a NULL is never invoked because of object type constraints.
Surely not a condition to rely on.

Since we're requiring pages handled by generic_xlog.c to be standard
format, specify REGBUF_STANDARD when doing a full-page image, so that
xloginsert.c can compress out the "hole" between pd_lower and pd_upper.
Given the current API in which this path will be taken only for a newly
initialized page, the hole is likely to be particularly large in such
cases, so that this oversight could easily be performance-significant.
I don't notice any particular change in the runtime of contrib/bloom's
regression test, though.

Make the inner comparison loops of computeDelta() as tight as possible by
pulling considerations of valid and invalid ranges out of the inner loops,
and extending a match or non-match detection as far as possible before
deciding what to do next. To keep this tractable, give up the possibility
of merging fragments across the pd_lower to pd_upper gap. The fraction of
pages where that could happen (ie, there are 4 or fewer bytes in the gap,
*and* data changes immediately adjacent to it on both sides) is too small
to be worth spending cycles on.
Also, avoid two BLCKSZ-length memcpy()s by computing the delta before
moving data into the target buffer, instead of after. This doesn't save
nearly as many cycles as being tenser about computeDelta(), but it still
seems worth doing.
On my machine, this patch cuts a full 40% off the runtime of
contrib/bloom's regression test.

This routine is unsafe as implemented, because it invalidates the page
image pointers returned by previous GenericXLogRegister() calls.
Rather than complicate the API or the implementation to avoid that,
let's just get rid of it; the use-case for having it seems much
too thin to justify a lot of work here.
While at it, do some wordsmithing on the SGML docs for generic WAL.

Improve commentary, use more specific names for the delta fields,
const-ify pointer arguments where possible, avoid assuming that
initializing only the first element of a local array will guarantee
that the remaining elements end up as we need them. (I think that
code in generic_redo actually worked, but only because InvalidBuffer
is zero; this is a particularly ugly way of depending on that ...)

\crosstabview is a completely different way to display results from a
query: instead of a vertical display of rows, the data values are placed
in a grid where the column and row headers come from the data itself,
similar to a spreadsheet.
The sort order of the horizontal header can be specified by using
another column in the query, and the vertical header determines its
ordering from the order in which they appear in the query.
This only allows displaying a single value in each cell. If more than
one value correspond to the same cell, an error is thrown. Merging of
values can be done in the query itself, if necessary. This may be
revisited in the future.

there's some functions missing to use the facility in an external

To avoid having to add functions piecemeal, add all the functions which
are used to define READ_* and WRITE_* macros; users of the extensible

outDatum(), which doesn't have it's own WRITE_ macro, as it needs

This feature is controlled by a new old_snapshot_threshold GUC. A
value of -1 disables the feature, and that is the default. The
value of 0 is just intended for testing. Above that it is the
number of minutes a snapshot can reach before pruning and vacuum
are allowed to remove dead tuples which the snapshot would
otherwise protect. The xmin associated with a transaction ID does
still protect dead tuples. A connection which is using an "old"
snapshot does not get an error unless it accesses a page modified
recently enough that it might not be able to produce accurate
results.
This is similar to the Oracle feature, and we use the same SQLSTATE
and error message for compatibility.

This patch is a no-op patch which is intended to reduce the chances
of failures of omission once the functional part of the "snapshot
too old" patch goes in. It adds parameters for snapshot, relation,
and an enum to specify whether the snapshot age check needs to be
done for the page at this point. This initial patch passes NULL
for the first two new parameters and BGP_NO_SNAPSHOT_TEST for the
third. The follow-on patch will change the places where the test
needs to be made.
