This moves the data directories from using temporary directories with randomness in the directory name to a static name, to make it easier to debug. The data directory will be retained if tests fail or the test code dies/exits with failure, and is automatically removed on the next make check. If the environment variable PG_TEST_NOCLEAN is defined, the data directories will be retained regardless of test or exit status. Author: Daniel Gustafsson <daniel@yesql.se>

This allows the user's environment to set up a psql-specific choice of pager, in much the same way that we provide PSQL_EDITOR to allow a psql-specific override of the more widely known EDITOR variable.

Throttling for sending a base backup in walsender is broken for the case where there is a lot of WAL traffic, because the latch used to put the walsender to sleep is also signalled by regular WAL traffic (and each signal causes an additional batch of data to be sent); the net effect is that there is no or little actual throttling. This is undesirable, so rewrite the sleep into a loop to achieve the desired effeect.

We already had a psql variable VERSION that shows the verbose form of psql's own version. Add VERSION_NAME to show the short form (e.g., "11devel") and VERSION_NUM to show the numeric form (e.g., 110000). Also add SERVER_VERSION_NAME and SERVER_VERSION_NUM to show the short and numeric forms of the server's version. (We'd probably add SERVER_VERSION with the verbose string if it were readily available; but adding another network round trip to get it seems too expensive.) The numeric forms, in particular, are expected to be useful for scripting purposes, now that psql can do conditional tests.

The previous format with variable names and descriptions in separate columns was extremely constraining about the length of the descriptions. We'd dealt with that in several inconsistent ways over the years, including letting the lines run over 80 characters, breaking descriptions into multiple lines, or shoving the description onto a separate line. But it's been a long time since the output could realistically fit onto a single screen vertically, so let's just rely even more heavily on the pager to deal with the vertical distance, and split each entry into two (or more) lines, in the format variable-name variable description goes here Each variable name + description remains a single translatable string, in hopes of reducing translator confusion; we're just changing the embedded whitespace. I failed to resist the temptation to copy-edit one or two of the descriptions while at it. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/2947.1504542679@sss.pgh.pa.us

process_backslash_command would drop the last character of the input command on the assumption that it was a newline. Given a non newline terminated input file, this could result in dropping the last character of the command. Fix that by doing an actual test that we're removing a newline. While at it, allow for Windows newlines (\r\n), and suppress multiple newlines if any. I do not think either of those cases really occur, since (a) we read script files in text mode and (b) the lexer stops when it hits a newline. But it's cheap enough and it provides a stronger guarantee about what the result string looks like. This is just cosmetic, I think, since the possibly-overly-chomped line was only used for display not for further processing. So it doesn't seem necessary to back-patch.

With --latency-limit, transactions might get skipped even beyond the transaction count limit specified by -t, throwing off the expected number of transactions and thus the denominator for later stats. Be sure to stop skipping transactions once -t is reached. Also, include skipped transactions in the "cnt" fields; this requires discounting them again in a couple of places, but most places are better off with this definition. In particular this is needed to get correct overall stats for the combination of -R/-L/-t options. Merge some more processing into processXactStats() to simplify this. In passing, add a check that --progress-timestamp is specified only when --progress is. We might consider back-patching this, but given that it only matters for a combination of options, and given the lack of field complaints, consensus seems to be not to bother.

Some compilers complain, not unreasonably, about left-shifting an int32 "1" and then assigning the result to an int64. In practice I sure hope that this data structure never gets large enough that an overflow would actually occur; but let's cast the constant to the right type to avoid the hazard.

In commit 9d6b160d, I tweaked pg_config.h.win32 to use "#define HAVE_LONG_LONG_INT_64 1" rather than defining it as empty, for consistency with what happens in an autoconf'd build. But Solution.pm injects another definition of that macro into ecpg_config.h, leading to justifiable (though harmless) compiler whining. Make that one consistent too.

Move the responsibility for creating/destroying TupleQueueReaders into execParallel.c, to avoid duplicative coding in nodeGather.c and nodeGatherMerge.c. Also, instead of having DestroyTupleQueueReader do shm_mq_detach, do it in the caller (which is now only ExecParallelFinish). This means execParallel.c does both the attaching and detaching of the tuple-queue-reader shm_mqs, which seems less weird than the previous arrangement. These changes also eliminate a vestigial memory leak (of the pei->tqueue array). It's now demonstrable that rescans of Gather or GatherMerge don't leak memory.

Instead of using a cast to force the constant to be the right width, assume we can plaster on an L, UL, LL, or ULL suffix as appropriate. The old approach to this is very hoary, dating from before we were willing to require compilers to have working int64 types. This fix makes the PG_INT64_MIN, PG_INT64_MAX, and PG_UINT64_MAX constants safe to use in preprocessor conditions, where a cast doesn't work. Other symbolic constants that might be defined using [U]INT64CONST are likewise safer than before. Also fix the SIZE_MAX macro to be similarly safe, if we are forced to provide a definition for that. The test added in commit 2e70d6b5 happens to do what we want even with the hack "(size_t) -1" definition, but we could easily get burnt on other tests in future.

Pre-C99 platforms may lack <stdint.h> and thereby SIZE_MAX. We have a couple of places using the hack "(size_t) -1" as a fallback, but it wasn't universally available; which means the code added in commit 2e70d6b5 fails to compile everywhere. Move that hack to c.h so that we can rely on having SIZE_MAX everywhere. Per discussion, it'd be a good idea to make the macro's value safe for use in #if-tests, but that will take a bit more work. This is just a quick expedient to get the buildfarm green again. Back-patch to all supported branches, like the previous commit. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/15883.1504278595@sss.pgh.pa.us

Commit 0e141c0f introduced a mechanism to reduce contention on ProcArrayLock by having a single process clear XIDs in the procArray on behalf of multiple processes, reducing the need to hand the lock around. A previous attempt to introduce a similar mechanism for CLogControlLock in ccce90b3 crashed and burned, but the design problem which resulted in those failures is believed to have been corrected in this version.

This will be useful for hash partitioning, which needs a way to seed the hash functions to avoid problems such as a hash index on a hash partitioned table clumping all values into a small portion of the bucket space; it's also useful for anything that wants a 64-bit hash value rather than a 32-bit hash value. Just in case somebody wants a 64-bit hash value that is compatible with the existing 32-bit hash values, make the low 32-bits of the 64-bit hash value match the 32-bit hash value when the seed is 0.

Rescanning a GatherMerge led to leaking some memory in the executor's query-lifespan context, because most of the node's working data structures were simply abandoned and rebuilt from scratch. In practice, this might never amount to much, given the cost of relaunching worker processes --- but it's still pretty messy, so let's fix it. We can rearrange things so that the tuple arrays are simply cleared and reused, and we don't need to rebuild the TupleTableSlots either, just clear them. One small complication is that because we might get a different number of workers on each iteration, we can't keep the old convention that the leader's gm_slots[] entry is the last one; the leader might clobber a TupleTableSlot that we need for a worker in a future iteration. Hence, adjust the logic so that the leader has slot 0 always, while the active workers have slots 1..n. Back-patch to v10 to keep all the existing versions of nodeGatherMerge.c in sync --- because of the renumbering of the slots, there would otherwise be a very large risk that any future backpatches in this module would introduce bugs.

Previously, we expanded the inheritance hierarchy in the order in which find_all_inheritors had locked the tables, but that turns out to block quite a bit of useful optimization. For example, a partition-wise join can't count on two tables with matching bounds to get expanded in the same order. Where possible, this change results in expanding partitioned tables in *bound* order. Bound order isn't well-defined for a list-partitioned table with a null-accepting partition or for a list-partitioned table where the bounds for a single partition are interleaved with other partitions. However, when expansion in bound order is possible, it opens up further opportunities for optimization, such as strength-reducing MergeAppend to Append when the expansion order matches the desired sort order. Patch by me, with cosmetic revisions by Ashutosh Bapat. Discussion: http://postgr.es/m/CA+TgmoZrKj7kEzcMSum3aXV4eyvvbh9WD=c6m=002WMheDyE3A@mail.gmail.com

The logic around shm_mq_detach was a few bricks shy of a load, because (contrary to the comments for shm_mq_attach) all it did was update the shared shm_mq state. That left us leaking a bit of process-local memory, but much worse, the on_dsm_detach callback for shm_mq_detach was still armed. That means that whenever we ultimately detach from the DSM segment, we'd run shm_mq_detach again for already-detached, possibly long-dead queues. This accidentally fails to fail today, because we only ever re-use a shm_mq's memory for another shm_mq, and multiple detach attempts on the last such shm_mq are fairly harmless. But it's gonna bite us someday, so let's clean it up. To do that, change shm_mq_detach's API so it takes a shm_mq_handle not the underlying shm_mq. This makes the callers simpler in most cases anyway. Also fix a few places in parallel.c that were just pfree'ing the handle structs rather than doing proper cleanup. Back-patch to v10 because of the risk that the revenant shm_mq_detach callbacks would cause a live bug sometime. Since this is an API change, it's too late to do it in 9.6. (We could make a variant patch that preserves API, but I'm not excited enough to do that.) Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/8670.1504192177@sss.pgh.pa.us

Comment the fields of GatherMergeState, and organize them a bit more sensibly. Comment GMReaderTupleBuffer more usefully too. Improve assorted other comments that were obsolete or just not very good English. Get rid of the use of a GMReaderTupleBuffer for the leader process; that was confusing, since only the "done" field was used, and that in a way redundant with need_to_scan_locally. In gather_merge_init, avoid calling load_tuple_array for already-known-exhausted workers. I'm not sure if there's a live bug there, but the case is unlikely to be well tested due to timing considerations. Remove some useless code, such as duplicating the tts_isempty test done by TupIsNull. Remove useless initialization of ps.qual, replacing that with an assertion that we have no qual to check. (If we did, the code would fail to check it.) Avoid applying heap_copytuple to a null tuple. While that fails to crash, it's confusing and it makes the code less legible not more so IMO. Propagate a couple of these changes into nodeGather.c, as well. Back-patch to v10, partly because of the possibility that the gather_merge_init change is fixing a live bug, but mostly to keep the branches in sync to ease future bug fixes.

Previously, the parallel executor logic did reinitialization of shared state within the ExecReScan code for parallel-aware scan nodes. This is problematic, because it means that the ExecReScan call has to occur synchronously (ie, during the parent Gather node's ReScan call). That is swimming very much against the tide so far as the ExecReScan machinery is concerned; the fact that it works at all today depends on a lot of fragile assumptions, such as that no plan node between Gather and a parallel-aware scan node is parameterized. Another objection is that because ExecReScan might be called in workers as well as the leader, hacky extra tests are needed in some places to prevent unwanted shared-state resets. Hence, let's separate this code into two functions, a ReInitializeDSM call and the ReScan call proper. ReInitializeDSM is called only in the leader and is guaranteed to run before we start new workers. ReScan is returned to its traditional function of resetting only local state, which means that ExecReScan's usual habits of delaying or eliminating child rescan calls are safe again. As with the preceding commit 7df2c1f8, it doesn't seem to be necessary to make these changes in 9.6, which is a good thing because the FDW and CustomScan APIs are impacted.

The ExecReScan machinery contains various optimizations for postponing or skipping rescans of plan subtrees; for example a HashAgg node may conclude that it can re-use the table it built before, instead of re-reading its input subtree. But that is wrong if the input contains a parallel-aware table scan node, since the portion of the table scanned by the leader process is likely to vary from one rescan to the next. This explains the timing-dependent buildfarm failures we saw after commit a2b70c89. The established mechanism for showing that a plan node's output is potentially variable is to mark it as depending on some runtime Param. Hence, to fix this, invent a dummy Param (one that has a PARAM_EXEC parameter number, but carries no actual value) associated with each Gather or GatherMerge node, mark parallel-aware nodes below that node as dependent on that Param, and arrange for ExecReScanGather[Merge] to flag that Param as changed whenever the Gather[Merge] node is rescanned. This solution breaks an undocumented assumption made by the parallel executor logic, namely that all rescans of nodes below a Gather[Merge] will happen synchronously during the ReScan of the top node itself. But that's fundamentally contrary to the design of the ExecReScan code, and so was doomed to fail someday anyway (even if you want to argue that the bug being fixed here wasn't a failure of that assumption). A follow-on patch will address that issue. In the meantime, the worst that's expected to happen is that given very bad timing luck, the leader might have to do all the work during a rescan, because workers think they have nothing to do, if they are able to start up before the eventual ReScan of the leader's parallel-aware table scan node has reset the shared scan state. Although this problem exists in 9.6, there does not seem to be any way for it to manifest there. Without GatherMerge, it seems that a plan tree that has a rescan-short-circuiting node below Gather will always also have one above it that will short-circuit in the same cases, preventing the Gather from being rescanned. Hence we won't take the risk of back-patching this change into 9.6. But v10 needs it. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAA4eK1JkByysFJNh9M349u_nNjqETuEnY_y1VUc_kJiU0bxtaQ@mail.gmail.com

As long as PQntuples, PQgetvalue, etc, use "int" for row numbers, we're pretty much stuck with this limitation. The documentation formerly stated that the result of PQntuples "might overflow on 32-bit operating systems", which is just nonsense: that's not where the overflow would happen, and if you did reach an overflow it would not be on a 32-bit machine, because you'd have OOM'd long since.
