As of Windows 10 version 1803, Unix-domain sockets are supported on Windows. But it's not automatically detected by configure because it looks for struct sockaddr_un and Windows doesn't define that. So we just make our own definition on Windows and override the configure result. Set DEFAULT_PGSOCKET_DIR to empty on Windows so by default no Unix-domain socket is used, because there is no good standard location. In pg_upgrade, we have to do some extra tweaking to preserve the existing behavior of not using Unix-domain sockets on Windows. Adding support would be desirable, but it needs further work, in particular a way to select whether to use Unix-domain sockets from the command-line or with a run-time test. The pg_upgrade test script needs a fix. The previous code passed "localhost" to postgres -k, which only happened to work because Windows used to ignore the -k argument value altogether. We instead need to pass an empty string to get the desired effect. The test suites will continue to not use Unix-domain sockets on Windows. This requires a small tweak in pg_regress.c. The TAP tests don't need to be changed because they decide by the operating system rather than HAVE_UNIX_SOCKETS.

Formerly we applied a functional dependency "a => b with dependency degree f" using the formula P(a,b) = P(a) * [f + (1-f)*P(b)] This leads to the possibility that the combined selectivity P(a,b) could exceed P(b), which is not ideal. The addition of support for IN and OR clauses (commits 8f321bd1 and ccaa3569) would seem to make this more likely, since the user-supplied values in such clauses are not necessarily compatible with the functional dependency. Mitigate this by using the formula P(a,b) = f * Min(P(a), P(b)) + (1-f) * P(a) * P(b) instead, which guarantees that the combined selectivity is less than each column's individual selectivity. Logically, this is modifies the part of the formula that accounts for dependent rows to handle cases where P(a) > P(b), whilst not changing the second term which accounts for independent rows. Additionally, this refactors the way that functional dependencies are applied, so now dependencies_clauselist_selectivity() estimates both the implying clauses and the implied clauses for each functional dependency (formerly only the implied clauses were estimated), and now all clauses for each attribute are taken into account (formerly only one clause for each implied attribute was estimated). This removes the previously built-in assumption that only equality clauses will be seen, which is no longer true, and opens up the possibility of applying functional dependencies to more general clauses. Patch by me, reviewed by Tomas Vondra.

Traditionally autovacuum has only ever invoked a worker based on the estimated number of dead tuples in a table and for anti-wraparound purposes. For the latter, with certain classes of tables such as insert-only tables, anti-wraparound vacuums could be the first vacuum that the table ever receives. This could often lead to autovacuum workers being busy for extended periods of time due to having to potentially freeze every page in the table. This could be particularly bad for very large tables. New clusters, or recently pg_restored clusters could suffer even more as many large tables may have the same relfrozenxid, which could result in large numbers of tables requiring an anti-wraparound vacuum all at once. Here we aim to reduce the work required by anti-wraparound and aggressive vacuums in general, by triggering autovacuum when the table has received enough INSERTs. This is controlled by adding two new GUCs and reloptions; autovacuum_vacuum_insert_threshold and autovacuum_vacuum_insert_scale_factor. These work exactly the same as the existing scale factor and threshold controls, only base themselves off the number of inserts since the last vacuum, rather than the number of dead tuples. New controls were added rather than reusing the existing controls, to allow these new vacuums to be tuned independently and perhaps even completely disabled altogether, which can be done by setting autovacuum_vacuum_insert_threshold to -1. We make no attempt to skip index cleanup operations on these vacuums as they may trigger for an insert-mostly table which continually doesn't have enough dead tuples to trigger an autovacuum for the purpose of removing those dead tuples. If we were to skip cleaning the indexes in this case, then it is possible for the index(es) to become bloated over time. There are additional benefits to triggering autovacuums based on inserts, as tables which never contain enough dead tuples to trigger an autovacuum are now more likely to receive a vacuum, which can mark more of the table as "allvisible" and encourage the query planner to make use of Index Only Scans. Currently, we still obey vacuum_freeze_min_age when triggering these new autovacuums based on INSERTs. For large insert-only tables, it may be beneficial to lower the table's autovacuum_freeze_min_age so that tuples are eligible to be frozen sooner. Here we've opted not to zero that for these types of vacuums, since the table may just be insert-mostly and we may otherwise freeze tuples that are still destined to be updated or removed in the near future. There was some debate to what exactly the new scale factor and threshold should default to. For now, these are set to 0.2 and 1000, respectively. There may be some motivation to adjust these before the release.

Delaying unlocking the right child page until after the point that the left child's parent page has been refound is no longer truly necessary. Commit 40dae7ec made nbtree tolerant of interrupted page splits. VACUUM was taught to avoid deleting a page that happens to be the right half of an incomplete split. As long as page splits don't unlock the left child page until the end of the second/final phase, it should be safe to unlock the right child page earlier (at the end of the first phase). It probably isn't actually useful to release the right child's lock earlier like this (it probably won't improve performance). Even still, pointing out that it ought to be safe to do so should make it easier to understand the overall design.

Commit 32973082 gave walreceiver the ability to create and use a temporary replication slot, and made it controllable by a GUC (enabled by default) that can be changed with SIGHUP. That's useful but has two problems: one, it's possible to cause the origin server to fill its disk if the slot doesn't advance in time; and also there's a disconnect between state passed down via the startup process and GUCs that walreceiver reads directly. We handle the first problem by setting the option to disabled by default. If the user enables it, its on their head to make sure that disk doesn't fill up. We handle the second problem by passing the flag via startup rather than having walreceiver acquire it directly, and making it PGC_POSTMASTER (which ensures a walreceiver always has the fresh value). A future commit can relax this (to PGC_SIGHUP again) by having the startup process signal walreceiver to shutdown whenever the value changes.

Buildfarm experience shows what probably should've occurred to me before: if a cache flush occurs partway through building a generic plan, then the plansource may have is_valid = false even though the plan is valid. We need to accept this case, use the generated plan, and then try to replan the next time. We can't try to replan immediately, because that would produce an infinite loop in CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS builds; moreover it's really overkill. (We can assume that the plan is valid, it's just possibly a bit stale. Note that the pre-existing code behaved this way, and the non-simple-expression code paths do too.) Conversely, not using the generated plan would drop us into the not-a-simple-expression code path, which is bad for performance and would also cause regression-test failures due to visibly different error-reporting behavior. Hence, refactor the validity-check functions so that the initial check and recheck cases can react differently to plansource->is_valid. This makes their usage a bit simpler, too.

For relatively simple expressions (say, "x + 1" or "x > 0"), plpgsql's management overhead exceeds the cost of evaluating the expression. This patch substantially improves that situation, providing roughly 2X speedup for such trivial expressions. First, add infrastructure in the plancache to allow fast re-validation of cached plans that contain no table access, and hence need no locks. Teach plpgsql to use this infrastructure for expressions that it's already deemed "simple" (which in particular will never contain table references). The fast path still requires checking that search_path hasn't changed, so provide a fast path for OverrideSearchPathMatchesCurrent by counting changes that have occurred to the active search path in the current session. This is simplistic but seems enough for now, seeing that PushOverrideSearchPath is not used in any performance-critical cases. Second, manage the refcounts on simple expressions' cached plans using a transaction-lifespan resource owner, so that we only need to take and release an expression's refcount once per transaction not once per expression evaluation. The management of this resource owner exactly parallels the existing management of plpgsql's simple-expression EState. Add some regression tests covering this area, in particular verifying that expression caching doesn't break semantics for search_path changes. Patch by me, but it owes something to previous work by Amit Langote, who recognized that getting rid of plancache-related overhead would be a useful thing to do here. Also thanks to Andres Freund for review. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAFj8pRDRVfLdAxsWeVLzCAbkLFZhW549K+67tpOc-faC8uH8zw@mail.gmail.com

plpgsql_xact_cb ought to treat events XACT_EVENT_PARALLEL_COMMIT and XACT_EVENT_PARALLEL_ABORT like XACT_EVENT_COMMIT and XACT_EVENT_ABORT respectively, since its goal is to do process-local cleanup. This oversight caused plpgsql's end-of-transaction cleanup to not get done in parallel workers. Since a parallel worker will exit just after the transaction cleanup, the effects of this are limited. I couldn't find any case in the core code with user-visible effects, but perhaps there are some in extensions. In any case it's wrong, so let's fix it before it bites us not after. In passing, add some comments around the handling of expression evaluation resources in DO blocks. There's no live bug there, but it's quite unobvious what's happening; at least I thought so. This isn't related to the other issue, except that I found both things while poking at expression-evaluation performance. Back-patch the plpgsql_xact_cb fix to 9.5 where those event types were introduced, and the DO-block commentary to v11 where DO blocks gained the ability to issue COMMIT/ROLLBACK.

This can be refined by further inclusion/exclusion switches, so that the user has full control over which tables to dump. A limitation is that this doesn't work in combination with parallel dumps, for implementation reasons. This might be lifted in the future, but requires shuffling some code around.

This reverts the parts of commit 17a28b03 that changed ereport's auxiliary functions from returning dummy integer values to returning void. It turns out that a minority of compilers complain (not entirely unreasonably) about constructs such as (condition) ? errdetail(...) : 0 if errdetail() returns void rather than int. We could update those call sites to say "(void) 0" perhaps, but the expectation for this patch set was that ereport callers would not have to change anything. And this aspect of the patch set was already the most invasive and least compelling part of it, so let's just drop it. Per buildfarm.

Change all the auxiliary error-reporting routines to return void, now that we no longer need to pretend they are passing something useful to errfinish(). While this probably doesn't save anything significant at the machine-code level, it allows detection of some additional types of mistakes. Pass the error location details (__FILE__, __LINE__, PG_FUNCNAME_MACRO) to errfinish not errstart. This shaves a few cycles off the case where errstart decides we're not going to emit anything. Re-implement elog() as a trivial wrapper around ereport(), removing the separate support infrastructure it used to have. Aside from getting rid of some now-surplus code, this means that elog() now really does have exactly the same semantics as ereport(), in particular that it can skip evaluation work if the message is not to be emitted.

Now that we require C99, we can depend on __VA_ARGS__ to work, and revising ereport() to use it has several significant benefits: * The extra parentheses around the auxiliary function calls are now optional. Aside from being a bit less ugly, this removes a common gotcha for new contributors, because in some cases the compiler errors you got from forgetting them were unintelligible. * The auxiliary function calls are now evaluated as a comma expression list rather than as extra arguments to errfinish(). This means that compilers can be expected to warn about no-op expressions in the list, allowing detection of several other common mistakes such as forgetting to add errmsg(...) when converting an elog() call to ereport(). * Unlike the situation with extra function arguments, comma expressions are guaranteed to be evaluated left-to-right, so this removes platform dependency in the order of the auxiliary function calls. While that dependency hasn't caused us big problems in the past, this change does allow dropping some rather shaky assumptions around errcontext() domain handling. There's no intention to make wholesale changes of existing ereport calls, but as proof-of-concept this patch removes the extra parens from a couple of calls in postgres.c. While new code can be written either way, code intended to be back-patched will need to use extra parens for awhile yet. It seems worth back-patching this change into v12, so as to reduce the window where we have to be careful about that by one year. Hence, this patch is careful to preserve ABI compatibility; a followup HEAD-only patch will make some additional simplifications.

Previously if a promotion was triggered while recovery was paused, the paused state continued. Also recovery could be paused by executing pg_wal_replay_pause() even while a promotion was ongoing. That is, recovery pause had higher priority over a standby promotion. But this behavior was not desirable because most users basically wanted the recovery to complete as soon as possible and the server to become the master when they requested a promotion. This commit changes recovery so that it prefers a promotion over recovery pause. That is, if a promotion is triggered while recovery is paused, the paused state ends and a promotion continues. Also this commit makes recovery pause functions like pg_wal_replay_pause() throw an error if they are executed while a promotion is ongoing. Internally, this commit adds new internal function PromoteIsTriggered() that returns true if a promotion is triggered. Since the name of this function and the existing function IsPromoteTriggered() are confusingly similar, the commit changes the name of IsPromoteTriggered() to IsPromoteSignaled, as more appropriate name.
