      Handle 5-char filenames in SlruScanDirectory · 638cf09e
      Alvaro Herrera authored
      Original users of slru.c were all producing 4-digit filenames, so that
      was all that that code was prepared to handle.  Changes to multixact.c
      in the course of commit 0ac5ad51 made pg_multixact/members create
      5-digit filenames once a certain threshold was reached, which
      SlruScanDirectory wasn't prepared to deal with; in particular,
      5-digit-name files were not removed during truncation.  Change that
      routine to make it aware of those files, and have it process them just
      like any others.
      
      Right now, some pg_multixact/members directories will contain a mixture
      of 4-char and 5-char filenames.  A future commit is expected fix things
      so that each slru.c user declares the correct maximum width for the
      files it produces, to avoid such unsightly mixtures.

      Wrap multixact/members correctly during extension · a50d9762
      Alvaro Herrera authored
      In the 9.2 code for extending multixact/members, the logic was very
      simple because the number of entries in a members page was a proper
      divisor of 2^32, and thus at 2^32 wraparound the logic for page switch
      was identical than at any other page boundary.  In commit 0ac5ad51 I
      failed to realize this and introduced code that was not able to go over
      the 2^32 boundary.  Fix that by ensuring that when we reach the last
      page of the last segment we correctly zero the initial page of the
      initial segment, using correct uint32-wraparound-safe arithmetic.
      
      Noticed while investigating bug #8673 reported by Serge Negodyuck, as
      diagnosed by Andres Freund.

      Handle wraparound during truncation in multixact/members · 722acf51
      Alvaro Herrera authored
      In pg_multixact/members, relying on modulo-2^32 arithmetic for
      wraparound handling doesn't work all that well.  Because we don't
      explicitely track wraparound of the allocation counter for members, it
      is possible that the "live" area exceeds 2^31 entries; trying to remove
      SLRU segments that are "old" according to the original logic might lead
      to removal of segments still in use.  To fix, have the truncation
      routine use a tailored SlruScanDirectory callback that keeps track of
      the live area in actual use; that way, when the live range exceeds 2^31
      entries, the oldest segments still live will not get removed untimely.
      
      This new SlruScanDir callback needs to take care not to remove segments
      that are "in the future": if new SLRU segments appear while the
      truncation is ongoing, make sure we don't remove them.  This requires
      examination of shared memory state to recheck for false positives, but
      testing suggests that this doesn't cause a problem.  The original coding
      didn't suffer from this pitfall because segments created when truncation
      is running are never considered to be removable.
      
      Per Andres Freund's investigation of bug #8673 reported by Serge
      Negodyuck.

      CREATE EVENT TRIGGER forgot to mark the event trigger as a member of its

      Extract restriction OR clauses whether or not they are indexable. · f343a880
      Tom Lane authored
      It's possible to extract a restriction OR clause from a join clause that
      has the form of an OR-of-ANDs, if each sub-AND includes a clause that
      mentions only one specific relation.  While PG has been aware of that idea
      for many years, the code previously only did it if it could extract an
      indexable OR clause.  On reflection, though, that seems a silly limitation:
      adding a restriction clause can be a win by reducing the number of rows
      that have to be filtered at the join step, even if we have to test the
      clause as a plain filter clause during the scan.  This should be especially
      useful for foreign tables, where the change can cut the number of rows that
      have to be retrieved from the foreign server; but testing shows it can win
      even on local tables.  Per a suggestion from Robert Haas.
      
      As a heuristic, I made the code accept an extracted restriction clause
      if its estimated selectivity is less than 0.9, which will probably result
      in accepting extracted clauses just about always.  We might need to tweak
      that later based on experience.
      
      Since the code no longer has even a weak connection to Path creation,
      remove orindxpath.c and create a new file optimizer/util/orclauses.c.
      
      There's some additional janitorial cleanup of now-dead code that needs
      to happen, but it seems like that's a fit subject for a separate commit.

      Don't attempt to limit target database for pg_restore. · 47f50262
      Kevin Grittner authored
      There was an apparent attempt to limit the target database for
      pg_restore to version 7.1.0 or later.  Due to a leading zero this
      was interpreted as an octal number, which allowed targets with
      version numbers down to 2.87.36.  The lowest actual release above
      that was 6.0.0, so that was effectively the limit.
      
      Since the success of the restore attempt will depend primarily on
      on what statements were generated by the dump run, we don't want
      pg_restore trying to guess whether a given target should be allowed
      based on version number.  Allow a connection to any version.  Since
      it is very unlikely that anyone would be using a recent version of
      pg_restore to restore to a pre-6.0 database, this has little to no
      practical impact, but it makes the code less confusing to read.
      
      Issue reported and initial patch suggestion from Joel Jacobson
      based on an article by Andrey Karpov reporting on issues found by
      PVS-Studio static code analyzer.  Final patch based on analysis by

      Undo autoconf 2.69's attempt to #define _DARWIN_USE_64_BIT_INODE. · ed011d97
      Tom Lane authored
      Defining this symbol causes OS X 10.5 to use a buggy version of readdir(),
      which can sometimes fail with EINVAL if the previously-fetched directory
      entry has been deleted or renamed.  In later OS X versions that bug has
      been repaired, but we still don't need the #define because it's on by
      default.  So this is just an all-around bad idea, and we can do without it.

      Properly detect invalid JSON numbers when generating JSON. · 29dcf7de
      Andrew Dunstan authored
      Instead of looking for characters that aren't valid in JSON numbers, we
      simply pass the output string through the JSON number parser, and if it

      domains over money will be quoted correctly and generate valid JSON.

      Support ordered-set (WITHIN GROUP) aggregates. · 8d65da1f
      Tom Lane authored
      This patch introduces generic support for ordered-set and hypothetical-set
      aggregate functions, as well as implementations of the instances defined in
      SQL:2008 (percentile_cont(), percentile_disc(), rank(), dense_rank(),
      percent_rank(), cume_dist()).  We also added mode() though it is not in the
      spec, as well as versions of percentile_cont() and percentile_disc() that
      can compute multiple percentile values in one pass over the data.
      
      Unlike the original submission, this patch puts full control of the sorting
      process in the hands of the aggregate's support functions.  To allow the
      support functions to find out how they're supposed to sort, a new API
      function AggGetAggref() is added to nodeAgg.c.  This allows retrieval of
      the aggregate call's Aggref node, which may have other uses beyond the
      immediate need.  There is also support for ordered-set aggregates to
      install cleanup callback functions, so that they can be sure that
      infrastructure such as tuplesort objects gets cleaned up.
      
      In passing, make some fixes in the recently-added support for variadic
      aggregates, and make some editorial adjustments in the recent FILTER
      additions for aggregates.  Also, simplify use of IsBinaryCoercible() by
      allowing it to succeed whenever the target type is ANY or ANYELEMENT.
      It was inconsistent that it dealt with other polymorphic target types
      but not these.

      Change the way we mark tuples as frozen. · 37484ad2
      Robert Haas authored
      Instead of changing the tuple xmin to FrozenTransactionId, the combination
      of HEAP_XMIN_COMMITTED and HEAP_XMIN_INVALID, which were previously never
      set together, is now defined as HEAP_XMIN_FROZEN.  A variety of previous
      proposals to freeze tuples opportunistically before vacuum_freeze_min_age
      is reached have foundered on the objection that replacing xmin by
      FrozenTransactionId might hinder debugging efforts when things in this
      area go awry; this patch is intended to solve that problem by keeping
      the XID around (but largely ignoring the value to which it is set).
      
      Third-party code that checks for HEAP_XMIN_INVALID on tuples where
      HEAP_XMIN_COMMITTED might be set will be broken by this change.  To fix,
      use the new accessor macros in htup_details.h rather than consulting the
      bits directly.  HeapTupleHeaderGetXmin has been modified to return
      FrozenTransactionId when the infomask bits indicate that the tuple is
      frozen; use HeapTupleHeaderGetRawXmin when you already know that the
      tuple isn't marked commited or frozen, or want the raw value anyway.
      We currently do this in routines that display the xmin for user consumption,
      in tqual.c where it's known to be safe and important for the avoidance of
      extra cycles, and in the function-caching code for various procedural
      languages, which shouldn't invalidate the cache just because the tuple
      gets frozen.

      Optimize updating a row that's locked by same xid · 13aa6244
      Alvaro Herrera authored
      Updating or locking a row that was already locked by the same
      transaction under the same Xid caused a MultiXact to be created; but
      this is unnecessary, because there's no usefulness in being able to
      differentiate two locks by the same transaction.  In particular, if a
      transaction executed SELECT FOR UPDATE followed by an UPDATE that didn't
      modify columns of the key, we would dutifully represent the resulting
      combination as a multixact -- even though a single key-update is
      sufficient.
      
      Optimize the case so that only the strongest of both locks/updates is
      represented in Xmax.  This can save some Xmax's from becoming
      MultiXacts, which can be a significant optimization.
      
      This missed optimization opportunity was spotted by Andres Freund while
      investigating a bug reported by Oliver Seemann in message
      CANCipfpfzoYnOz5jj=UZ70_R=CwDHv36dqWSpwsi27vpm1z5sA@mail.gmail.com

      Reportedly, this patch fixes the performance regression.
      
      Since the missing optimization was reported as a significant performance
      regression from 9.2, backpatch to 9.3.

      Allow on-detach callbacks for dynamic shared memory segments. · 001a573a
      Robert Haas authored
      Just as backends must clean up their shared memory state (releasing
      lwlocks, buffer pins, etc.) before exiting, they must also perform
      any similar cleanups related to dynamic shared memory segments they
      have mapped before unmapping those segments.  So add a mechanism to
      ensure that.
      
      Existing on_shmem_exit hooks include both "user level" cleanup such
      as transaction abort and removal of leftover temporary relations and
      also "low level" cleanup that forcibly released leftover shared
      memory resources.  On-detach callbacks should run after the first
      group but before the second group, so create a new before_shmem_exit
      function for registering the early callbacks and keep on_shmem_exit
      for the regular callbacks.  (An earlier draft of this patch added an
      additional argument to on_shmem_exit, but that had a much larger
      footprint and probably a substantially higher risk of breaking third
      party code for no real gain.)

      Don't ignore tuple locks propagated by our updates · 11ac4c73
      Alvaro Herrera authored
      If a tuple was locked by transaction A, and transaction B updated it,
      the new version of the tuple created by B would be locked by A, yet
      visible only to B; due to an oversight in HeapTupleSatisfiesUpdate, the
      lock held by A wouldn't get checked if transaction B later deleted (or
      key-updated) the new version of the tuple.  This might cause referential
      integrity checks to give false positives (that is, allow deletes that
      should have been rejected).
      
      This is an easy oversight to have made, because prior to improved tuple
      locks in commit 0ac5ad51 it wasn't possible to have tuples created by
      our own transaction that were also locked by remote transactions, and so
      locks weren't even considered in that code path.
      
      It is recommended that foreign keys be rechecked manually in bulk after
      installing this update, in case some referenced rows are missing with
      some referencing row remaining.
