_bt_killitems marks btree items dead when a scan leaves the page where they live, but it does so with only share lock (to improve concurrency). This was historicall okay, since killing a dead item has no consequences. However, with the advent of data checksums and wal_log_hints, this action incurs a WAL full-page-image record of the page. Multiple concurrent processes would write the same page several times, leading to WAL bloat. The probability of this happening can be reduced by only killing items if they're not already dead, so change the code to do that. The problem could eliminated completely by having _bt_killitems upgrade to exclusive lock upon seeing a killable item, but that would reduce concurrency so it's considered a cure worse than the disease. Backpatch all the way back to 9.5, since wal_log_hints was introduced in 9.4.

Originally, the names assigned to SLRUs had no purpose other than being shmem lookup keys, so not a lot of thought went into them. As of v13, though, we're exposing them in the pg_stat_slru view and the pg_stat_reset_slru function, so it seems advisable to take a bit more care. Rename them to names based on the associated on-disk storage directories (which fortunately we *did* think about, to some extent; since those are also visible to DBAs, consistency seems like a good thing). Also rename the associated LWLocks, since those names are likewise user-exposed now as wait event names. For the most part I only touched symbols used in the respective modules' SimpleLruInit() calls, not the names of other related objects. This renaming could have been taken further, and maybe someday we will do so. But for now it seems undesirable to change the names of any globally visible functions or structs, so some inconsistency is unavoidable. (But I *did* terminate "oldserxid" with prejudice, as I found that name both unreadable and not descriptive of the SLRU's contents.) Table 27.12 needs re-alphabetization now, but I'll leave that till after the other LWLock renamings I have in mind. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/28683.1589405363@sss.pgh.pa.us

COPY TO released the ACCESS SHARE lock immediately when it was done rather than holding on to it until the end of the transaction. This breaks the case where a REPEATABLE READ transaction could see an empty table if it repeats a COPY statement and somebody truncated the table in the meantime. Before 4dded12f the lock was also released after COPY FROM, but the commit failed to notice the irregularity in COPY TO. This is old behavior but doesn't seem important enough to backpatch.

I abbreviated the heck out of the column headings, and made a few small wording changes, to get it to build warning-free. I can't say that the result is pretty, but it's probably better than removing this table entirely. As of this commit, we have zero "exceed the available area" warnings in a US-letter PDF build, and one such warning (about an 863-millipoint overrun) in an A4 build. I expect to get rid of that one by renaming wait events, so I'm not doing anything about it at the formatting level. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/6916.1589146280@sss.pgh.pa.us

Includes some manual cleanup of places that pgindent messed up, most of which weren't per project style anyway. Notably, it seems some people didn't absorb the style rules of commit c9d29775, because there were a bunch of new occurrences of function calls with a newline just after the left paren, all with faulty expectations about how the rest of the call would get indented.

There is little point in using the LWLockRegisterTranche mechanism for built-in tranche names. It wastes cycles, it creates opportunities for bugs (since failing to register a tranche name is a very hard-to-detect problem), and the lack of any centralized list of names encourages sloppy nonconformity in name choices. Moreover, since we have a centralized list of the tranches anyway in enum BuiltinTrancheIds, we're certainly not buying any flexibility in return for these disadvantages. Hence, nuke all the backend-internal LWLockRegisterTranche calls, and instead provide a const array of the builtin tranche names. (I have in mind to change a bunch of these names shortly, but this patch is just about getting them into one place.) Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/9056.1589419765@sss.pgh.pa.us

amcheck expects at least hikey to always exist on leaf page even if it is deleted page. But replica reinitializes page during replay of page deletion, causing deleted page to have no items. Thus, replay of page deletion can cause an error in concurrent amcheck run. This commit relaxes amcheck expectation making it tolerate deleted page with no items.

Commit 3eb77eba moved the loop and refactored it, and inadvertently changed the effect of fsync=off so that it also skipped removing entries from the pendingOps table. That was not intentional, and leads to an assertion failure if you turn fsync on while the server is running and reload the config.

Visual Studio 2015 and later versions should still be able to do the same as Visual Studio 2012, but the declaration of locale_name is missing in _locale_t, causing the code compilation to fail, hence this falls back instead on to enumerating all system locales by using EnumSystemLocalesEx to find the required locale name. If the input argument is in Unix-style then we can get ISO Locale name directly by using GetLocaleInfoEx() with LCType as LOCALE_SNAME. In passing, change the documentation references of the now obsolete links. Note that this problem occurs only with NLS enabled builds.

The defect suppressed a Standby Status Update message when bytes flushed to disk had changed but bytes received had not changed. If pg_recvlogical then exited with no intervening Standby Status Update, the next pg_recvlogical repeated already-flushed records. The defect could also cause superfluous messages, which are functionally harmless. Back-patch to 9.5 (all supported versions).

pg_recvlogical merely called PQfinish(), so the backend sent messages after the disconnect. When that caused EPIPE in internal_flush(), before a LogicalConfirmReceivedLocation(), the next pg_recvlogical would repeat already-acknowledged records. Whether or not the defect causes EPIPE, post-disconnect messages could contain an ErrorResponse that the user should see. One properly ends PGRES_COPY_OUT by repeating PQgetCopyData() until it returns a negative value. Augment one of the tests to cover the case of WAL past --endpos. Back-patch to v10, where commit 7c030783 first appeared. Before that commit, pg_recvlogical never reached PGRES_COPY_OUT. Reported by Thomas Munro.

The previous design for this table didn't really work in narrow views, such as PDF output; besides which its reliance on large morerows values made it a pain to maintain (cf ab3e4fbd, for example). I experimented with a couple of ways to fix it, but the best and simplest is to split it up into a separate table for each event type category. I also rearranged the event ordering to be strictly alphabetical, as nobody would ever be able to find entries otherwise. There is work afoot to revise the set of event names described in this table, but this commit just changes the layout, not the contents. In passing, add a missing entry to pg_locks.locktype, and cross-reference that to the related wait event list. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/6916.1589146280@sss.pgh.pa.us

This changes our catalog and view descriptions to use a style inspired by the new format for function/operator tables: each table entry is formatted roughly like a <varlistentry>, with the column name and type on the first line and then an indented description. This provides much more room for expansive descriptions than we had before, and thereby eliminates a passel of PDF build warnings. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/12984.1588643549@sss.pgh.pa.us

Previously, AsyncShmemInit forcibly initialized the first page of the async SLRU, to save dealing with that case in asyncQueueAddEntries. But this is a poor tradeoff, since many installations do not ever use NOTIFY; for them, expending those cycles in AsyncShmemInit is a complete waste. Besides, this only saves a couple of instructions in asyncQueueAddEntries, which hardly seems likely to be measurable. The real reason to change this now, though, is that now that we track SLRU access stats, the existing code is causing the postmaster to accumulate some access counts, which then get inherited into child processes by fork(), messing up the statistics. Delaying the initialization into the first child that does a NOTIFY fixes that. Hence, we can revert f3d23d83, which was an incorrect attempt at fixing that issue. Also, add an Assert to pgstat.c that should catch any future errors of the same sort. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/8367.1589391884@sss.pgh.pa.us

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. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/3618.1589313035@sss.pgh.pa.us

* 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.

The explain format used by incremental sort was somewhat inconsistent with other nodes, making it harder to parse and understand. This commit addresses that by - adding an extra space to better separate groups of values - using colons instead of equal signs to separate key/value - properly capitalizing first letter of a key - using separate lines for full and pre-sorted groups These changes were proposed by Justin Pryzby and mostly copy the final explain format used to report WAL usage.
