Masahiko Sawada	d87d07b7ad	Fix re-distributing previously distributed invalidation messages during logical decoding. ... Commit 4909b38af0 introduced logic to distribute invalidation messages from catalog-modifying transactions to all concurrent in-progress transactions. However, since each transaction distributes not only its original invalidation messages but also previously distributed messages to other transactions, this leads to an exponential increase in allocation request size for invalidation messages, ultimately causing memory allocation failure. This commit fixes this issue by tracking distributed invalidation messages separately per decoded transaction and not redistributing these messages to other in-progress transactions. The maximum size of distributed invalidation messages that one transaction can store is limited to MAX_DISTR_INVAL_MSG_PER_TXN (8MB). Once the size of the distributed invalidation messages exceeds this threshold, we invalidate all caches in locations where distributed invalidation messages need to be executed. Back-patch to all supported versions where we introduced the fix by commit 4909b38af0. Note that this commit adds two new fields to ReorderBufferTXN to store the distributed transactions. This change breaks ABI compatibility in back branches, affecting third-party extensions that depend on the size of the ReorderBufferTXN struct, though this scenario seems unlikely. Additionally, it adds a new flag to the txn_flags field of ReorderBufferTXN to indicate distributed invalidation message overflow. This should not affect existing implementations, as it is unlikely that third-party extensions use unused bits in the txn_flags field.

Amit Kapila	aaf9e95e87	Fix xmin advancement during fast_forward decoding. ... During logical decoding, we advance catalog_xmin of logical too early in fast_forward mode, resulting in required catalog data being removed by vacuum. This mode is normally used to advance the slot without processing the changes, but we still can't let the slot's xmin to advance to an incorrect value. Commit f49a80c481 fixed a similar issue where the logical slot's catalog_xmin was getting advanced prematurely during non-fast-forward mode. During xl_running_xacts processing, instead of directly advancing the slot's xmin to the oldest running xid in the record, it allowed the xmin to be held back for snapshots that can be used for not-yet-replayed transactions, as those might consider older txns as running too. However, it missed the fact that the same problem can happen during fast_forward mode decoding, as we won't build a base snapshot in that mode, and the future call to get_changes from the same slot can miss seeing the required catalog changes leading to incorrect reslts. This commit allows building the base snapshot even in fast_forward mode to prevent the early advancement of xmin.

Amit Kapila	4909b38af0	Fix data loss in logical replication. ... Data loss can happen when the DDLs like ALTER PUBLICATION ... ADD TABLE ... or ALTER TYPE ... that don't take a strong lock on table happens concurrently to DMLs on the tables involved in the DDL. This happens because logical decoding doesn't distribute invalidations to concurrent transactions and those transactions use stale cache data to decode the changes. The problem becomes bigger because we keep using the stale cache even after those in-progress transactions are finished and skip the changes required to be sent to the client. This commit fixes the issue by distributing invalidation messages from catalog-modifying transactions to all concurrent in-progress transactions. This allows the necessary rebuild of the catalog cache when decoding new changes after concurrent DDL. We observed performance regression primarily during frequent execution of *publication DDL* statements that modify the published tables. The regression is minor or nearly nonexistent for DDLs that do not affect the published tables or occur infrequently, making this a worthwhile cost to resolve a longstanding data loss issue. An alternative approach considered was to take a strong lock on each affected table during publication modification. However, this would only address issues related to publication DDLs (but not the ALTER TYPE ...) and require locking every relation in the database for publications created as FOR ALL TABLES, which is impractical. The bug exists in all supported branches, but we are backpatching till 14. The fix for 13 requires somewhat bigger changes than this fix, so the fix for that branch is still under discussion.

It seems potentially useful to label our shared libraries with version information, now that a facility exists for retrieving that. This patch labels them with the PG_VERSION string. There was some discussion about using semantic versioning conventions, but that doesn't seem terribly helpful for modules with no SQL-level presence; and for those that do have SQL objects, we typically expect them to support multiple revisions of the SQL definitions, so it'd still not be very helpful. I did not label any of src/test/modules/.

Masahiko Sawada	072ee847ad	Skip logical decoding of already-aborted transactions. ... Previously, transaction aborts were detected concurrently only during system catalog scans while replaying a transaction in streaming mode. This commit adds an additional CLOG lookup to check the transaction status, allowing the logical decoding to skip changes also when it doesn't touch system catalogs, if the transaction is already aborted. This optimization enhances logical decoding performance, especially for large transactions that have already been rolled back, as it avoids unnecessary disk or network I/O. To avoid potential slowdowns caused by frequent CLOG lookups for small transactions (most of which commit), the CLOG lookup is performed only for large transactions before eviction. The performance benchmark results showed there is not noticeable performance regression due to CLOG lookups.

Michael Paquier	da99fedf8c	Fix invalidation of local pgstats references for entry reinitialization ... 818119afcc has introduced the "generation" concept in pgstats entries, incremented a counter when a pgstats entry is reinitialized, but it did not count on the fact that backends still holding local references to such entries need to be refreshed if the cache age is outdated. The previous logic only updated local references when an entry was dropped, but it needs also to consider entries that are reinitialized. This matters for replication slot stats (as well as custom pgstats kinds in 18~), where concurrent drops and creates of a slot could cause incorrect stats to be locally referenced. This would lead to an assertion failure at shutdown when writing out the stats file, as the backend holding an outdated local reference would not be able to drop during its shutdown sequence the stats entry that should be dropped, as the last process holding a reference to the stats entry. The checkpointer was then complaining about such an entry late in the shutdown sequence, after the shutdown checkpoint is finished with the control file updated, causing the stats file to not be generated. In non-assert builds, the entry would just be skipped with the stats file written. Note that only logical replication slots use statistics. A test case based on TAP is added to test_decoding, where a persistent connection peeking at a slot's data is kept with concurrent drops and creates of the same slot. This is based on the isolation test case that Anton has sent. As it requires a node shutdown with a check to make sure that the stats file is written with this specific sequence of events, TAP is used instead. Reported-by: Anton A.

Álvaro Herrera	14e87ffa5c	Add pg_constraint rows for not-null constraints ... We now create contype='n' pg_constraint rows for not-null constraints on user tables. Only one such constraint is allowed for a column. We propagate these constraints to other tables during operations such as adding inheritance relationships, creating and attaching partitions and creating tables LIKE other tables. These related constraints mostly follow the well-known rules of conislocal and coninhcount that we have for CHECK constraints, with some adaptations: for example, as opposed to CHECK constraints, we don't match not-null ones by name when descending a hierarchy to alter or remove it, instead matching by the name of the column that they apply to. This means we don't require the constraint names to be identical across a hierarchy. The inheritance status of these constraints can be controlled: now we can be sure that if a parent table has one, then all children will have it as well. They can optionally be marked NO INHERIT, and then children are free not to have one. (There's currently no support for altering a NO INHERIT constraint into inheriting down the hierarchy, but that's a desirable future feature.) This also opens the door for having these constraints be marked NOT VALID, as well as allowing UNIQUE+NOT NULL to be used for functional dependency determination, as envisioned by commit e49ae8d3bc. It's likely possible to allow DEFERRABLE constraints as followup work, as well. psql shows these constraints in \d+, though we may want to reconsider if this turns out to be too noisy. Earlier versions of this patch hid constraints that were on the same columns of the primary key, but I'm not sure that that's very useful. If clutter is a problem, we might be better off inventing a new \d++ command and not showing the constraints in \d+. For now, we omit these constraints on system catalog columns, because they're unlikely to achieve anything. The main difference to the previous attempt at this (b0e96f3119) is that we now require that such a constraint always exists when a primary key is in the column; we didn't require this previously which had a number of unpalatable consequences. With this requirement, the code is easier to reason about. For example: - We no longer have "throwaway constraints" during pg_dump. We needed those for the case where a table had a PK without a not-null underneath, to prevent a slow scan of the data during restore of the PK creation, which was particularly problematic for pg_upgrade. - We no longer have to cope with attnotnull being set spuriously in case a primary key is dropped indirectly (e.g., via DROP COLUMN).

Masahiko Sawada	bb19b70081	Fix possibility of logical decoding partial transaction changes. ... When creating and initializing a logical slot, the restart_lsn is set to the latest WAL insertion point (or the latest replay point on standbys). Subsequently, WAL records are decoded from that point to find the start point for extracting changes in the DecodingContextFindStartpoint() function. Since the initial restart_lsn could be in the middle of a transaction, the start point must be a consistent point where we won't see the data for partial transactions. Previously, when not building a full snapshot, serialized snapshots were restored, and the SnapBuild jumps to the consistent state even while finding the start point. Consequently, the slot's restart_lsn and confirmed_flush could be set to the middle of a transaction. This could lead to various unexpected consequences. Specifically, there were reports of logical decoding decoding partial transactions, and assertion failures occurred because only subtransactions were decoded without decoding their top-level transaction until decoding the commit record. To resolve this issue, the changes prevent restoring the serialized snapshot and jumping to the consistent state while finding the start point. On v17 and HEAD, a flag indicating whether snapshot restores should be skipped has been added to the SnapBuild struct, and SNAPBUILD_VERSION has been bumpded. On backbranches, the flag is stored in the LogicalDecodingContext instead, preserving on-disk compatibility. Backpatch to all supported versions.

Amit Kapila	ddd5f4f54a	Add a slot synchronization function. ... This commit introduces a new SQL function pg_sync_replication_slots() which is used to synchronize the logical replication slots from the primary server to the physical standby so that logical replication can be resumed after a failover or planned switchover. A new 'synced' flag is introduced in pg_replication_slots view, indicating whether the slot has been synchronized from the primary server. On a standby, synced slots cannot be dropped or consumed, and any attempt to perform logical decoding on them will result in an error. The logical replication slots on the primary can be synchronized to the hot standby by using the 'failover' parameter of pg-create-logical-replication-slot(), or by using the 'failover' option of CREATE SUBSCRIPTION during slot creation, and then calling pg_sync_replication_slots() on standby. For the synchronization to work, it is mandatory to have a physical replication slot between the primary and the standby aka 'primary_slot_name' should be configured on the standby, and 'hot_standby_feedback' must be enabled on the standby. It is also necessary to specify a valid 'dbname' in the 'primary_conninfo'. If a logical slot is invalidated on the primary, then that slot on the standby is also invalidated. If a logical slot on the primary is valid but is invalidated on the standby, then that slot is dropped but will be recreated on the standby in the next pg_sync_replication_slots() call provided the slot still exists on the primary server. It is okay to recreate such slots as long as these are not consumable on standby (which is the case currently). This situation may occur due to the following reasons: - The 'max_slot_wal_keep_size' on the standby is insufficient to retain WAL records from the restart_lsn of the slot. - 'primary_slot_name' is temporarily reset to null and the physical slot is removed. The slot synchronization status on the standby can be monitored using the 'synced' column of pg_replication_slots view. A functionality to automatically synchronize slots by a background worker and allow logical walsenders to wait for the physical will be done in subsequent commits.

Since its introduction, LogLogicalMessage() (via the SQL interface pg_logical_emit_message()) has never included a call to XLogFlush(), causing it to potentially lose messages on a crash when used in non-transactional mode.

The default is false, to not flush messages and influence existing use-cases where this function could be used. If set to true, the message emitted is flushed before returning back to the caller, making the message durable on crash. This new option has no effect when using pg_logical_emit_message() in transactional mode, as the record's flush is guaranteed by the WAL record generated by the transaction committed.

We propagate these constraints to other tables during operations such as adding inheritance relationships, creating and attaching partitions and creating tables LIKE other tables. We also spawn not-null constraints for inheritance child tables when their parents have primary keys. These related constraints mostly follow the well-known rules of conislocal and coninhcount that we have for CHECK constraints, with some adaptations: for example, as opposed to CHECK constraints, we don't match not-null ones by name when descending a hierarchy to alter it, instead matching by column name that they apply to. This means we don't require the constraint names to be identical across a hierarchy. For now, we omit them for system catalogs. Maybe this is worth reconsidering. We don't support NOT VALID nor DEFERRABLE clauses either; these can be added as separate features later (this patch is already large and complicated enough.) psql shows these constraints in \d+. pg_dump requires some ad-hoc hacks, particularly when dumping a primary key. We now create one "throwaway" not-null constraint for each column in the PK together with the CREATE TABLE command, and once the PK is created, all those throwaway constraints are removed. This avoids having to check each tuple for nullness when the dump restores the primary key creation. pg_upgrading from an older release requires a somewhat brittle procedure to create a constraint state that matches what would be created if the database were being created fresh in Postgres 17. I have tested all the scenarios I could think of, and it works correctly as far as I can tell, but I could have neglected weird cases. This patch has been very long in the making. The first patch was written by Bernd Helmle in 2010 to add a new pg_constraint.contype value ('n'), which I (Álvaro) then hijacked in 2011 and 2012, until that one was killed by the realization that we ought to use contype='c' instead: manufactured CHECK constraints. However, later SQL standard development, as well as nonobvious emergent properties of that design (mostly, failure to distinguish them from "normal" CHECK constraints as well as the performance implication of having to test the CHECK expression) led us to reconsider this choice, so now the current implementation uses contype='n' again. During Postgres 16 this had already been introduced by commit e056c557ae, but there were some problems mainly with the pg_upgrade procedure that couldn't be fixed in reasonable time, so it was reverted. In 2016 Vitaly Burovoy also worked on this feature[1] but found no consensus for his proposed approach, which was claimed to be closer to the letter of the standard, requiring an additional pg_attribute column to track the OID of the not-null constraint for that column.

Amit Kapila	16b1fe0037	Fix assertion failures while processing NEW_CID record in logical decoding. ... When the logical decoding restarts from NEW_CID, since there is no association between the top transaction and its subtransaction, both are created as top transactions and have the same LSN. This caused the assertion failure in AssertTXNLsnOrder(). This patch skips the assertion check until we reach the LSN at which we start decoding the contents of the transaction, specifically start_decoding_at LSN in SnapBuild. This is okay because we don't guarantee to make the association between top transaction and subtransaction until we try to decode the actual contents of transaction. The ordering of the records prior to the start_decoding_at LSN should have been checked before the restart. The other assertion failure is due to the reason that we forgot to track that we have considered top-level transaction id in the list of catalog changing transactions that were committed when one of its subtransactions is marked as containing catalog change.

Andres Freund	e6927270cd	meson: Add initial version of meson based build system ... Autoconf is showing its age, fewer and fewer contributors know how to wrangle it. Recursive make has a lot of hard to resolve dependency issues and slow incremental rebuilds. Our home-grown MSVC build system is hard to maintain for developers not using Windows and runs tests serially. While these and other issues could individually be addressed with incremental improvements, together they seem best addressed by moving to a more modern build system. After evaluating different build system choices, we chose to use meson, to a good degree based on the adoption by other open source projects. We decided that it's more realistic to commit a relatively early version of the new build system and mature it in tree. This commit adds an initial version of a meson based build system. It supports building postgres on at least AIX, FreeBSD, Linux, macOS, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris and Windows (however only gcc is supported on aix, solaris). For Windows/MSVC postgres can now be built with ninja (faster, particularly for incremental builds) and msbuild (supporting the visual studio GUI, but building slower). Several aspects (e.g. Windows rc file generation, PGXS compatibility, LLVM bitcode generation, documentation adjustments) are done in subsequent commits requiring further review. Other aspects (e.g. not installing test-only extensions) are not yet addressed. When building on Windows with msbuild, builds are slower when using a visual studio version older than 2019, because those versions do not support MultiToolTask, required by meson for intra-target parallelism. The plan is to remove the MSVC specific build system in src/tools/msvc soon after reaching feature parity. However, we're not planning to remove the autoconf/make build system in the near future. Likely we're going to keep at least the parts required for PGXS to keep working around until all supported versions build with meson.

Amit Kapila	7f13ac8123	Fix catalog lookup with the wrong snapshot during logical decoding. ... Previously, we relied on HEAP2_NEW_CID records and XACT_INVALIDATION records to know if the transaction has modified the catalog, and that information is not serialized to snapshot. Therefore, after the restart, if the logical decoding decodes only the commit record of the transaction that has actually modified a catalog, we will miss adding its XID to the snapshot. Thus, we will end up looking at catalogs with the wrong snapshot. To fix this problem, this change adds the list of transaction IDs and sub-transaction IDs, that have modified catalogs and are running during snapshot serialization, to the serialized snapshot. After restart or otherwise, when we restore from such a serialized snapshot, the corresponding list is restored in memory. Now, when decoding a COMMIT record, we check both the list and the ReorderBuffer to see if the transaction has modified catalogs. Since this adds additional information to the serialized snapshot, we cannot backpatch it. For back branches, we took another approach. We remember the last-running-xacts list of the decoded RUNNING_XACTS record after restoring the previously serialized snapshot. Then, we mark the transaction as containing catalog changes if it's in the list of initial running transactions and its commit record has XACT_XINFO_HAS_INVALS. This doesn't require any file format changes but the transaction will end up being added to the snapshot even if it has only relcache invalidations. But that won't be a problem since we use snapshot built during decoding only to read system catalogs. This commit bumps SNAPBUILD_VERSION because of a change in SnapBuild.

Amit Kapila	366283961a	Allow users to skip logical replication of data having origin. ... This patch adds a new SUBSCRIPTION parameter "origin". It specifies whether the subscription will request the publisher to only send changes that don't have an origin or send changes regardless of origin. Setting it to "none" means that the subscription will request the publisher to only send changes that have no origin associated. Setting it to "any" means that the publisher sends changes regardless of their origin. The default is "any". Usage: CREATE SUBSCRIPTION sub1 CONNECTION 'dbname=postgres port=9999' PUBLICATION pub1 WITH (origin = none); This can be used to avoid loops (infinite replication of the same data) among replication nodes. This feature allows filtering only the replication data originating from WAL but for initial sync (initial copy of table data) we don't have such a facility as we can only distinguish the data based on origin from WAL. As a follow-up patch, we are planning to forbid the initial sync if the origin is specified as none and we notice that the publication tables were also replicated from other publishers to avoid duplicate data or loops. We forbid to allow creating origin with names 'none' and 'any' to avoid confusion with the same name options.
