      Dial back -Wimplicit-fallthrough to level 3 · 17cc133f
      Alvaro Herrera authored
      The additional pain from level 4 is excessive for the gain.
      
      Also revert all the source annotation changes to their original
      wordings, to avoid back-patching pain.

      Improve management of SLRU statistics collection. · 81ca8686
      Tom Lane authored
      Instead of re-identifying which statistics bucket to use for a given
      SLRU on every counter increment, do it once during shmem initialization.
      This saves a fair number of cycles, and there's no real cost because
      we could not have a bucket assignment that varies over time or across
      backends anyway.
      
      Also, get rid of the ill-considered decision to let pgstat.c pry
      directly into SLRU's shared state; it's cleaner just to have slru.c
      pass the stats bucket number.
      
      In consequence of these changes, there's no longer any need to store
      an SLRU's LWLock tranche info in shared memory, so get rid of that,
      making this a net reduction in shmem consumption.  (That partly
      reverts fe702a7b.)
      
      This is basically code review for 28cac71b, so I also cleaned up
      some comments, removed a dangling extern declaration, fixed some
      things that should be static and/or const, etc.

      Adjust walsender usage of xlogreader, simplify APIs · 850196b6
      Alvaro Herrera authored
      * Have both physical and logical walsender share a 'xlogreader' state
        struct for tracking state.  This replaces the existing globals sendSeg
        and sendCxt.
      
      * Change WALRead not to receive XLogReaderState->seg and ->segcxt as
        separate arguments anymore; just use the ones from 'state'.  This is
        made possible by the above change.
      
      * have the XLogReader segment_open contract require the callbacks to
        install the file descriptor in the state struct themselves instead of
        returning it.  xlogreader was already ignoring any possible failed
        return from the callbacks, relying solely on them never returning.
      
        (This point is not altogether excellent, as it means the callbacks
        have to know more of XLogReaderState; but to really improve on that
        we would have to pass back error info from the callbacks to
        xlogreader.  And the complexity would not be saved but instead just
        transferred to the callers of WALRead, which would have to learn how
        to throw errors from the open_segment callback in addition of, as
        currently, from pg_pread.)
      
      * segment_open no longer receives the 'segcxt' as a separate argument,
        since it's part of the XLogReaderState argument.
      
      Per comments from Kyotaro Horiguchi.

      Use proper GetDatum function in pg_stat_get_slru(). · 043e3e04

      This commit changes pg_stat_get_slru() so that it uses
      TimestampTzGetDatum() for stats_reset field because that field
      stores the timestamp with time zone value. Previously
      Int64GetDatum() was used.

      Doc: fix "Unresolved ID reference" warnings, clean up man page cross-refs. · 60c90c16
      Tom Lane authored
      Use xreflabel attributes instead of endterm attributes to control the
      appearance of links to subsections of SQL command reference pages.
      This is simpler, it matches what we do elsewhere (e.g. for GUC variables),
      and it doesn't draw "Unresolved ID reference" warnings from the PDF
      toolchain.
      
      Fix some places where the text was absolutely dependent on an <xref>
      rendering exactly so, by using a <link> around the required text
      instead.  At least one of those spots had already been turned into
      bad grammar by subsequent changes, and the whole idea is just too
      fragile for my taste.  <xref> does NOT have fixed output, don't write
      as if it does.
      
      Consistently include a page-level link in cross-man-page references,
      because otherwise they are useless/nonsensical in man-page output.
      Likewise, be consistent about mentioning "below" or "above" in same-page
      references; we were doing that in about 90% of the cases, but now it's
      100%.
      
      Also get rid of another nonfunctional-in-PDF idea, of making
      cross-references to functions by sticking ID tags on <row> constructs.
      We can put the IDs on <indexterm>s instead --- which is probably not any
      more sensible in abstract terms, but it works where the other doesn't.
      (There is talk of attaching cross-reference IDs to most or all of
      the docs' function descriptions, but for now I just fixed the two
      that exist.)

      Adjust "root of to-be-deleted subtree" function. · 624686ab
      Peter Geoghegan authored
      Restructure the function that locates the root of the to-be-deleted
      subtree during nbtree page deletion.  Handle the conditions that make
      page deletion unsafe in a slightly more uniform way, and acknowledge the
      fact that the behavior with incomplete splits on internal pages is
      different (as pointed out in the nbtree README as of commit 35bc0ec7).
      Also invent new terminology that avoids ambiguity around which pages are
      about to be deleted.  Consistently use the term "to-be-deleted subtree",
      not the ambiguous term "branch".
      
      We were calling the subtree parent page the "top parent page", but that
      was quite misleading.  The top parent page usually refers to a page
      unlinked from its siblings and marked deleted (during the second stage
      of page deletion).  There was one kind of top parent page that we merely
      removed a downlink from, and another kind of top parent page that we
      actually marked deleted.  Eliminate the ambiguity by inventing a new
      term ("subtree parent page") that refers to the former kind of page
      only.

      Doc: marginal hacking to remove some PDF build warnings. · 336aa51b
      Tom Lane authored
      This patch eliminates a few more "exceed the available area" warnings
      whose causes aren't particularly connected to anything else.
      
      The only one really worthy of comment is that I increased the space
      allowed for an <orderedlist>'s numbers, because the default of 1em
      doesn't quite work for more than one digit.  The rest are one-off
      insertions of &zwsp; and suchlike tweaks, in places where they
      shouldn't do any damage to the material.  (In particular, although
      I split some long identifiers with zwsp's, there are other nearby
      occurrences of each one; so those changes shouldn't hurt greppability
      of the document sources.)

      Doc: fix assorted misstatements of fact in catalog & system view docs. · 9356e435
      Tom Lane authored
      I made up a very crude hack to compare the docs with reality (as
      embodied in the system catalogs) ... and indeed they don't match
      everywhere.  Missing oid columns, wrong data types, wrong "references"
      links, columns listed in the wrong order.  None of this seems quite
      important enough to back-patch.

      Simplify show_incremental_sort_info a bit · ebeb3dea
      Tomas Vondra authored
      Incremental sort always processes at least one full group group before
      switching to prefix groups, so it's enough to check just the number of
      full groups. There was no risk of division by zero due to the extra
      condition, but it made the code harder to understand.

      Fix handling of REWIND/MARK/BACKWARD in incremental sort · c4427226
      Tomas Vondra authored
      The executor flags were not handled entirely correctly, although the
      bugs were mostly harmless and it was mostly comment inaccuracy. We don't
      need to strip any of the flags for child nodes.
      
      Incremental sort does not support backward scans of mark/restore, so
      MARK/BACKWARDS flags should not be possible. So we simply ensure this
      using an assert, and we don't bother removing them when initializing
      the child node.
      
      With REWIND it's a bit less clear - incremental sort does not support
      REWIND, but there is no way to signal this - it's legal to just ignore
      the flag. We however continue passing the flag to child nodes, because
      they might be useful to leverage that.

      Update oidjoins regression test for v13. · 6c298881
      Tom Lane authored
      We seem to have forgotten to do this in the v12 cycle, so add it as
      a task in the RELEASE_CHANGES list, in hopes we won't forget again.
      
      While here, fix findoidjoins.c so that it actually works in the
      new dispensation where OID is a regular column, and change it to only
      consider system relations (this avoids being fooled by the OID column
      in the brintest test table).
      
      Also tweak the largeobject test so that the somewhat-recently-added
      manual creation of a LO with an OID in the system range doesn't
      fool findoidjoins.c.  For the moment I just made that use an unused
      OID, but we might have to find a more robust solution someday.

      Refactor nbtree deletion INCOMPLETE_SPLIT check. · cd8c73a3
      Peter Geoghegan authored
      Factor out code common to _bt_lock_branch_parent() and _bt_pagedel()
      into a new utility function.  This new function is used to check that
      the left sibling of a deletion target page does not have the
      INCOMPLETE_SPLIT page flag set.  If it is set then deletion is unsafe;
      there won't be a usable pivot tuple (with a downlink) in the parent page
      that points to the deletion target page.  The page deletion algorithm is
      not prepared to deal with that.  Also restructure an existing, related
      utility function that checks if the right sibling of the target page has
      the ISHALFDEAD page flag set.
      
      This organization highlights the symmetry between the two cases.  The
      goal is to make the design of page deletion clearer.  Both functions
      involve a sibling page with a flag that indicates that there was an
      interrupted operation (a page split or a page deletion) that resulted in
      a page pointed to by sibling pages, but not pointed to in the parent.
      And, both functions indicate if page deletion is unsafe due to the
      absence of a particular downlink in the parent page.
