5983a4cff added CompactAttribute as an abbreviated alternative to
FormData_pg_attribute to allow more cache-friendly processing in tasks
related to TupleDescs. That commit contained some assert-only code to
check that the CompactAttribute had been populated correctly, however,
the method used to do that checking caused the TupleDesc's
CompactAttribute to be zeroed before it was repopulated and compared to
the snapshot taken before the memset call. This caused issues as the type
cache caches TupleDescs in shared memory which can be used by multiple
backend processes at the same time. There was a window of time between
the zero and repopulation of the CompactAttribute where another process
would mistakenly think that the CompactAttribute is invalid due to the
memset.
To fix this, instead of taking a snapshot of the CompactAttribute and
calling populate_compact_attribute() and comparing the snapshot to the
freshly populated TupleDesc's CompactAttribute, refactor things so we
can just populate a temporary CompactAttribute on the stack. This way
we don't touch the TupleDesc's memory.

These two platforms have a remarkably tight default limit on the
number of SysV semaphores in the system: SEMMNS is only 60
out-of-the-box. Unless manual action is taken to raise that,
we'll only be able to allocate 3 sets of 16 usable semaphores
each, leading to initdb setting max_connections to just 20.
That's problematic because the core regression tests expect
to be able to launch 20 concurrent sessions, leaving us with
no headroom. This seems to be the cause of intermittent
buildfarm failures on some machines.
While there's no getting around the fact that you'd better raise
SEMMNS for production use on these platforms, it does seem desirable
for "make check" to pass reliably without that. We can make that
happen, at least for awhile longer, with two small changes:
* Change sysv_sema.c's SEMAS_PER_SET to 19, so that we can eat up
all of the available semas not just most of them.
* Change initdb to make the smallest max_connections value it will
consider be 25 not 20.
As of HEAD this will leave us with four free semaphores (using the
default values for other relevant parameters such as max_wal_senders).
So we won't need to consider this again until we've invented five
more background processes. Maybe by then we can switch both these
platforms to some other semaphore API.
For the moment, do this only in master; there've not been field
complaints that might justify a back-patch.

Reset btpo_cycleid to 0 in btree_xlog_vacuum for consistency with
_bt_delitems_vacuum (the corresponding original execution code). This
makes things neater.
There might be some performance benefit to being consistent like this.
When btvacuumpage doesn't call _bt_delitems_vacuum, it can still
proactively reset btpo_cycleid to 0 via a separate hint-like update
mechanism (it does so whenever it sees that it isn't already set to 0).
And so it's possible that being consistent about resetting btpo_cycleid
like this will save work later on, after standby promotion: subsequent
VACUUMs won't need to clear btpo_cycleid using the hint-like update
mechanism as often as they otherwise would.

Despite the best efforts of commit 0e5c82380, we're still seeing
occasional failures of postgres_fdw's query_cancel test in the
buildfarm. Investigation suggests that its 100ms timeout is
still not enough to reliably ensure that the remote side starts
the query before receiving the cancel request --- and if it
hasn't, it will just discard the request because it's idle.
We discussed allowing a cancel request to kill the next-received
query, but that would have wide and perhaps unpleasant side-effects.
What seems safer is to make postgres_fdw do what a human user would
likely do, which is issue another cancel request if the first one
didn't seem to do anything. We'll keep the same overall 30 second
grace period before concluding things are broken, but issue additional
cancel requests after 1 second, then 2 more seconds, then 4, then 8.
(The next one in series is 16 seconds, but we'll hit the 30 second
timeout before that.)
Having done that, revert the timeout in query_cancel.sql to 10 ms.
That will still be enough on most machines, most of the time, for
the remote query to start; but now we're intentionally risking the
race condition occurring sometimes in the buildfarm, so that the
repeat-cancel code path will get some testing.
As before, back-patch to v17. We might eventually contemplate
back-patching this further, and/or adding similar logic to dblink.
But given the lack of field complaints to date, this feels like
mostly an exercise in test case stabilization, so v17 is enough.

A historic snapshot should only be used for catalog access, not
general queries. We never call GetTransactionSnapshot() during logical

code to deal with that was unreachable and untested. Turn it into an
error, to avoid doing that in the future either.

In get_database_list() and get_subscription_list(), the
GetTransactionSnapshot() call is not required because the catalog
table scans use the catalog snapshot, which is held until the end of
the scan. See table_beginscan_catalog(), which calls
RegisterSnapshot(GetCatalogSnapshot(relid)).
In InitPostgres, it's a little less obvious that it's not required,
but still true I believe. All the catalog lookups in InitPostgres()
also use the catalog snapshot, and the looked up values are copied
while still holding the snapshot.
Furthermore, as the removed FIXME comments said, calling
GetTransactionSnapshot() didn't really prevent MyProc->xmin from being
reset anyway.

Here we convert CompactAttribute.attalign from a char, which is directly
derived from pg_attribute.attalign into a uint8, which stores the number
of bytes to align the column's value by in the tuple.
This allows tuple deformation and tuple size calculations to move away
from using the inefficient att_align_nominal() macro, which manually
checks each TYPALIGN_* char to translate that into the alignment bytes

This used to say "nsubxcnt isn't decreased when subtransactions

RelationTruncate() does three things, while holding an
AccessExclusiveLock and preventing checkpoints:
1. Logs the truncation.
2. Drops buffers, even if they're dirty.
3. Truncates some number of files.
Step 2 could previously be canceled if it had to wait for I/O, and step
3 could and still can fail in file APIs. All orderings of these
operations have data corruption hazards if interrupted, so we can't give
up until the whole operation is done. When dirty pages were discarded
but the corresponding blocks were left on disk due to ERROR, old page
versions could come back from disk, reviving deleted data (see
pgsql-bugs #18146 and several like it). When primary and standby were
allowed to disagree on relation size, standbys could panic (see
pgsql-bugs #18426) or revive data unknown to visibility management on
the primary (theorized).
Changes:
* WAL is now unconditionally flushed first
* smgrtruncate() is now called in a critical section, preventing
interrupts and causing PANIC on file API failure
* smgrtruncate() has a new parameter for existing fork sizes,
because it can't call smgrnblocks() itself inside a critical section
The changes apply to RelationTruncate(), smgr_redo() and
pg_truncate_visibility_map(). That last is also brought up to date with
other evolutions of the truncation protocol.
The VACUUM FileTruncate() failure mode had been discussed in older
reports than the ones referenced below, with independent analysis from

The new compact_attrs array stores a few select fields from
FormData_pg_attribute in a more compact way, using only 16 bytes per
column instead of the 104 bytes that FormData_pg_attribute uses. Using
CompactAttribute allows performance-critical operations such as tuple
deformation to be performed without looking at the FormData_pg_attribute
element in TupleDesc which means fewer cacheline accesses.
For some workloads, tuple deformation can be the most CPU intensive part
of processing the query. Some testing with 16 columns on a table
where the first column is variable length showed around a 10% increase in
transactions per second for an OLAP type query performing aggregation on
the 16th column. However, in certain cases, the increases were much
higher, up to ~25% on one AMD Zen4 machine.
This also makes pg_attribute.attcacheoff redundant. A follow-on commit
will remove it, thus shrinking the FormData_pg_attribute struct by 4
bytes.

The original design for set operations involved appending the two
input relations into one and adding a flag column that allows
distinguishing which side each row came from. Then the SetOp node
pries them apart again based on the flag. This is bizarre. The
only apparent reason to do it is that when sorting, we'd only need
one Sort node not two. But since sorting is at least O(N log N),
sorting all the data is actually worse than sorting each side
separately --- plus, we have no chance of taking advantage of
presorted input. On top of that, adding the flag column frequently
requires an additional projection step that adds cycles, and then
the Append node isn't free either. Let's get rid of all of that
and make the SetOp node have two separate children, using the
existing outerPlan/innerPlan infrastructure.
This initial patch re-implements nodeSetop.c and does a bare minimum
of work on the planner side to generate correctly-shaped plans.
In particular, I've tried not to change the cost estimates here,
so that the visible changes in the regression test results will only
involve removal of useless projection steps and not any changes in
whether to use sorted vs hashed mode.
For SORTED mode, we combine successive identical tuples from each
input into groups, and then merge-join the groups. The tuple
comparisons now use SortSupport instead of simple equality, but
the group-formation part should involve roughly the same number of
tuple comparisons as before. The cross-comparisons between left and
right groups probably add to that, but I'm not sure to quantify how
many more comparisons we might need.
For HASHED mode, nodeSetop's logic is almost the same as before,
just refactored into two separate loops instead of one loop that
has an assumption that it will see all the left-hand inputs first.
In both modes, I added early-exit logic to not bother reading the
right-hand relation if the left-hand input is empty, since neither
INTERSECT nor EXCEPT modes can produce any output if the left input
is empty. This could have been done before in the hashed mode, but
not in sorted mode. Sorted mode can also stop as soon as it exhausts
the left input; any remaining right-hand tuples cannot have matches.
Also, this patch adds some infrastructure for detecting whether
child plan nodes all output the same type of tuple table slot.
If they do, the hash table logic can use slightly more efficient
code based on assuming that that's the input slot type it will see.
We'll make use of that infrastructure in other plan node types later.

Consistently reset so->scanBehind at the beginning of nbtree array
advancement, even during sktrig_required=false calls (calls where array
advancement is triggered by an unsatisfied non-required array scan key).
Otherwise, it's possible for queries to fail to return all relevant
tuples to the scan given a low-order required scan key that was
previously deemed "satisfied" by a truncated high key attribute value.
This only happened at the point where a later non-required array scan
key needed to be "advanced" once on the next leaf page (that is, once
the right sibling of the truncated high key page was reached).
The underlying issue was that later code within _bt_advance_array_keys
assumed that the so->scanBehind flag must have been set using the
current page's high key (not the previous page's high key). Any later
successful recheck call to _bt_check_compare would therefore spuriously
be prevented from making _bt_advance_array_keys return true, based on
the faulty belief that the truncated attribute must be from the scan's
current tuple (i.e. the non-pivot tuple at the start of the next page).
_bt_advance_array_keys would return false for the tuple, ultimately
resulting in _bt_checkkeys failing to return a matching tuple.

This adds a new variable-numbered statistics kind in pgstats, where the
object ID key of the stats entries is based on the proc number of the
backends. This acts as an upper-bound for the number of stats entries
that can exist at once. The entries are created when a backend starts
after authentication succeeds, and are removed when the backend exits,
making the stats entry exist for as long as their backend is up and
running. These are not written to the pgstats file at shutdown (note
that write_to_file is disabled, as a safety measure).
Currently, these stats include only information about the I/O generated
by a backend, using the same layer as pg_stat_io, except that it is now
possible to know how much activity is happening in each backend rather
than an overall aggregate of all the activity. A function called
pg_stat_get_backend_io() is added to access this data depending on the
PID of a backend. The existing structure could be expanded in the
future to add more information about other statistics related to
backends, depending on requirements or ideas.
Auxiliary processes are not included in this set of statistics. These
are less interesting to have than normal backends as they have dedicated
entries in pg_stat_io, and stats kinds of their own.

8f4ee9626 fixed an old Assert failure that could happen when the slot
type used to look up the hash table for BuildTupleHashTableExt() users
wasn't a TTSOpsMinimalTuple slot. The fix for that in the back branches
had to be to pass the TupleTableSlotOps as NULL, however in master,
since we have the inputOps parameter as was added by d96d1d515, we can
pass that down instead.
At least one caller uses a fixed slot that's always TTSOpsVirtual, so
passing down inputOps for these cases allows ExecBuildGroupingEqual() to
skip adding the EEOP_INNER_FETCHSOME ExprEvalStep.
This should increase the performance of hashed subplans very slightly.

If the non-recursive part of a recursive CTE ended up using
TTSOpsBufferHeapTuple as the table slot type, then a duplicate value
could cause an Assert failure in CheckOpSlotCompatibility() when
checking the hash table for the duplicate value. The expected slot type
for the deform step was TTSOpsMinimalTuple so the Assert failed when the
TTSOpsBufferHeapTuple slot was used.
This is a long-standing bug which we likely didn't notice because it
seems much more likely that the non-recursive term would have required
projection and used a TTSOpsVirtual slot, which CheckOpSlotCompatibility
is ok with.
There doesn't seem to be any harm done here other than the Assert
failure. Both TTSOpsMinimalTuple and TTSOpsBufferHeapTuple slot types
require tuple deformation, so the EEOP_*_FETCHSOME ExprState step would
have properly existed in the ExprState.
The solution is to pass NULL for the ExecBuildGroupingEqual's 'lops'
parameter. This means the ExprState's EEOP_*_FETCHSOME step won't
expect a fixed slot type. This makes CheckOpSlotCompatibility() happy as
no checking is performed when the ExprEvalStep is not expecting a fixed
slot type.

Previously, we only used palloc() for the buffer, but flex would still

normal syntax errors as soft errors.) Now, all the memory is under
palloc() control, so there are no more such issues.
Simplify flex scan buffer management: Instead of constructing the
buffer from pieces and then using yy_scan_buffer(), we can just use
yy_scan_string(), which does the same thing internally.
The previous code was necessary because we allocated the buffer with
palloc() and the rest of the state was handled by malloc(). But this
is no longer the case; everything is under palloc() now.
(We could even get rid of the yylex_destroy() call and just let the
memory context cleanup handle everything. But for now, we preserve

Use the flex %option reentrant and the bison option %pure-parser to
make the generated scanner and parser pure, reentrant, and
thread-safe.
Make the generated scanner use palloc() etc. instead of malloc() etc.
Previously, we only used palloc() for the buffer, but flex would still
use malloc() for its internal structures. As a result, there could be
some small memory leaks in case of uncaught errors. (We do catch
normal syntax errors as soft errors.) Now, all the memory is under
palloc() control, so there are no more such issues.
Simplify flex scan buffer management: Instead of constructing the
buffer from pieces and then using yy_scan_buffer(), we can just use
yy_scan_string(), which does the same thing internally. (Actually, we
use yy_scan_bytes() here because we already have the length.)
The previous code was necessary because we allocated the buffer with
palloc() and the rest of the state was handled by malloc(). But this
is no longer the case; everything is under palloc() now.
(We could even get rid of the yylex_destroy() call and just let the
memory context cleanup handle everything. But for now, we preserve
the existing behavior.)

This commit adds support for the following items in psql, able to show a
service name, when available:
- Variable SERVICE.
- Substitution %s in PROMPT{1,2,3}.
This relies on 4b99fed754, that has made the service name available in
PGconn for libpq.

This commit adds one field to PGconn for the database service name (if
any), with PQservice() as routine to retrieve it. Like the other
routines of this area, NULL is returned as result if the connection is
NULL.
A follow-up patch will make use of this feature to be able to display
the service name in the psql prompt.

0f5738202 adjusted the execGrouping.c code so it made use of ExprStates to
generate hash values. That commit made a wrong assumption that the slot
type to pass to ExecBuildHash32FromAttrs() is always &TTSOpsMinimalTuple.
That's not the case as the slot type depends on the slot type passed to
LookupTupleHashEntry(), which for nodeRecursiveunion.c, could be any of
the current slot types.
Here we fix this by adding a new parameter to BuildTupleHashTableExt()
to allow the slot type to be passed in. In the case of nodeSubplan.c
and nodeAgg.c the slot type is always &TTSOpsVirtual, so for both of
those cases, it's beneficial to pass the known slot type as that allows
ExecBuildHash32FromAttrs() to skip adding the tuple deform step to the
resulting ExprState. Another possible fix would have been to have
ExecBuildHash32FromAttrs() set "fetch.kind" to NULL so that
ExecComputeSlotInfo() always determines the EEOP_INNER_FETCHSOME is
required, however, that option isn't favorable as slows down aggregation
and hashed subplan evaluation due to the extra (needless) deform step.
Thanks to Nathan Bossart for bisecting to find the offending commit
based on Paul's report.

If a dshash table grows very large (e.g., the dshash table for
cumulative statistics when there are millions of tables), resizing
it may fail with an error like:
ERROR: invalid DSA memory alloc request size 1073741824
To fix, permit dshash resizing to allocate more than 1 GB by
providing the DSA_ALLOC_HUGE flag.

Backpatch-through: 13
There's no need for set_simple_column_names() to compute unique
column names for join RTEs, because a finished plan tree will
not contain any join alias Vars that we could need names for.
Its other, internal callers will not pass it any join RTEs
anyway, so the upshot is we can just skip join RTEs here.
Aside from getting rid of a klugy against-its-documentation use of
set_relation_column_names, this can speed up EXPLAIN substantially
when considering many-join queries, because the upper join RTEs
tend to have a lot of columns.

Rename frozen_pages to new_frozen_tuple_pages in LVRelState, the struct
used for tracking state during vacuuming of a heap relation.
frozen_pages sounds like it tracks pages set all-frozen. That is a
misnomer. It only includes pages with at least one newly frozen tuple.
It also includes pages that are not all-frozen.

Formerly we skipped this in bootstrap/check mode and in single-user
mode. That's bad in check mode because it may allow accepting a
value of max_connections that doesn't actually work: on platforms
where semaphores consume file descriptors, there may not be enough
free FDs left over to satisfy fd.c, causing postmaster start to
fail. It's also not great in single-user mode, because fd.c will
operate with just the minimum allowable value of max_safe_fds,
resulting in excess file open/close overhead if anything moderately
complicated is done in single-user mode. (There may be some penalty
for bootstrap mode too, though probably not much.)

Previously we did this in PostmasterMain() and InitPostmasterChild(),
which meant that stack depth checking was disabled in non-postmaster
server processes, for instance in single-user mode. That seems like
a fairly bad idea, since there's no a-priori restriction on the
complexity of queries we will run in single-user mode. Moreover, this
led to not having quite the same stack depth limit in all processes,
which likely has no real-world effect but it offends my inner neatnik.
Setting the depth in main() guarantees that check_stack_depth() is
armed and has a consistent interpretation of stack depth in all forms
of server processes.
While at it, move the code associated with checking the stack depth
out of tcop/postgres.c (which was never a great home for it) into
a new file src/backend/utils/misc/stack_depth.c.
