2023-04-05Acquire locks on views in AcquirePlannerLocks, too.Tom Lane
Commit 47bb9db75 taught AcquireExecutorLocks to re-acquire locks on views using data from their RTE_SUBQUERY replacements, but it now seems like we should make AcquirePlannerLocks do the same. In this way, if a view has been redefined, we will notice that a bit earlier while checking validity of a cached plan and thereby avoid some wasted work. Report and patch by Amit Langote.

2023-03-25Add SysCacheGetAttrNotNull for guaranteed not-null attrsDaniel Gustafsson
When extracting an attr from a cached tuple in the syscache with SysCacheGetAttr the isnull parameter must be checked in case the attr cannot be NULL. For cases when this is known beforehand, a wrapper is introduced which perform the errorhandling internally on behalf of the caller, invoking an elog in case of a NULL attr.

2023-03-20Ignore BRIN indexes when checking for HOT updatesTomas Vondra
When determining whether an index update may be skipped by using HOT, we can ignore attributes indexed by block summarizing indexes without references to individual tuples that need to be cleaned up. A new type TU_UpdateIndexes provides a signal to the executor to determine which indexes to update - no indexes, all indexes, or only the summarizing indexes. This also removes rd_indexattr list, and replaces it with rd_attrsvalid flag. The list was not used anywhere, and a simple flag is sufficient. This was originally committed as 5753d4ee32, but then got reverted by e3fcca0d0d because of correctness issues. Original patch by Josef Simanek, various fixes and improvements by Tomas Vondra and me.

2023-01-18Get rid of the "new" and "old" entries in a view's rangetable.Tom Lane
The rule system needs "old" and/or "new" pseudo-RTEs in rule actions that are ON INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE. Historically it's put such entries into the ON SELECT rules of views as well, but those are really quite vestigial. The only thing we've used them for is to carry the view's relid forward to AcquireExecutorLocks (so that we can re-lock the view to verify it hasn't changed before re-using a plan) and to carry its relid and permissions data forward to execution-time permissions checks. What we can do instead of that is to retain these fields of the RTE_RELATION RTE for the view even after we convert it to an RTE_SUBQUERY RTE. This requires a tiny amount of extra complication in the planner and AcquireExecutorLocks, but on the other hand we can get rid of the logic that moves that data from one place to another. The principal immediate benefit of doing this, aside from a small saving in the pg_rewrite data for views, is that these pseudo-RTEs no longer trigger ruleutils.c's heuristic about qualifying variable names when the rangetable's length is more than 1. That results in quite a number of small simplifications in regression test outputs, which are all to the good IMO. Bump catversion because we need to dump a few more fields of RTE_SUBQUERY RTEs. While those will always be zeroes anyway in stored rules (because we'd never populate them until query rewrite) they are useful for debugging, and it seems like we'd better make sure to transmit such RTEs accurately in plans sent to parallel workers. I don't think the executor actually examines these fields after startup, but someday it might. This is a second attempt at committing 1b4d280ea. The difference from the first time is that now we can add some filtering rules to AdjustUpgrade.pm to allow cross-version upgrade testing to pass despite all the cosmetic changes in CREATE VIEW outputs.

This reverts commit 1b4d280ea1eb7ddb2e16654d5fa16960bb959566. It's broken the buildfarm members that run cross-version-upgrade tests, because they're not prepared to deal with cosmetic differences between CREATE VIEW commands emitted by older servers and HEAD. Even if we had a solution to that, which we don't, it'd take some time to roll it out to the affected animals. This improvement isn't valuable enough to justify addressing that problem on an emergency basis, so revert it for now.

2022-12-27Convert the reg* input functions to report (most) errors softly.Tom Lane
This is not really complete, but it catches most cases of practical interest. The main omissions are: * regtype, regprocedure, and regoperator parse type names by calling the main grammar, so any grammar-detected syntax error will still be a hard error. Also, if one includes a type modifier in such a type specification, errors detected by the typmodin function will be hard errors. * Lookup errors are handled just by passing missing_ok = true to the relevant catalog lookup function. Because we've used quite a restrictive definition of "missing_ok", this means that edge cases such as "the named schema exists, but you lack USAGE permission on it" are still hard errors. It would make sense to me to replace most/all missing_ok parameters with an escontext parameter and then allow these additional lookup failure cases to be trapped too. But that's a job for some other day. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/[email protected]

2022-12-22Add palloc_aligned() to allow aligned memory allocationsDavid Rowley
This introduces palloc_aligned() and MemoryContextAllocAligned() which allow callers to obtain memory which is allocated to the given size and also aligned to the specified alignment boundary. The alignment boundaries may be any power-of-2 value. Currently, the alignment is capped at 2^26, however, we don't expect values anything like that large. The primary expected use case is to align allocations to perhaps CPU cache line size or to maybe I/O page size. Certain use cases can benefit from having aligned memory by either having better performance or more predictable performance. The alignment is achieved by requesting 'alignto' additional bytes from the underlying allocator function and then aligning the address that is returned to the requested alignment. This obviously does waste some memory, so alignments should be kept as small as what is required. It's also important to note that these alignment bytes eat into the maximum allocation size. So something like: palloc_aligned(MaxAllocSize, 64, 0); will not work as we cannot request MaxAllocSize + 64 bytes. Additionally, because we're just requesting the requested size plus the alignment requirements from the given MemoryContext, if that context is the Slab allocator, then since slab can only provide chunks of the size that's specified when the slab context is created, then this is not going to work. Slab will generate an error to indicate that the requested size is not supported. The alignment that is requested in palloc_aligned() is stored along with the allocated memory. This allows the alignment to remain intact through repalloc() calls.

2022-12-15Static assertions cleanupPeter Eisentraut
Because we added StaticAssertStmt() first before StaticAssertDecl(), some uses as well as the instructions in c.h are now a bit backwards from the "native" way static assertions are meant to be used in C. This updates the guidance and moves some static assertions to better places. Specifically, since the addition of StaticAssertDecl(), we can put static assertions at the file level. This moves a number of static assertions out of function bodies, where they might have been stuck out of necessity, to perhaps better places at the file level or in header files. Also, when the static assertion appears in a position where a declaration is allowed, then using StaticAssertDecl() is more native than StaticAssertStmt().

2022-12-06Rework query relation permission checkingAlvaro Herrera
Currently, information about the permissions to be checked on relations mentioned in a query is stored in their range table entries. So the executor must scan the entire range table looking for relations that need to have permissions checked. This can make the permission checking part of the executor initialization needlessly expensive when many inheritance children are present in the range range. While the permissions need not be checked on the individual child relations, the executor still must visit every range table entry to filter them out. This commit moves the permission checking information out of the range table entries into a new plan node called RTEPermissionInfo. Every top-level (inheritance "root") RTE_RELATION entry in the range table gets one and a list of those is maintained alongside the range table. This new list is initialized by the parser when initializing the range table. The rewriter can add more entries to it as rules/views are expanded. Finally, the planner combines the lists of the individual subqueries into one flat list that is passed to the executor for checking. To make it quick to find the RTEPermissionInfo entry belonging to a given relation, RangeTblEntry gets a new Index field 'perminfoindex' that stores the corresponding RTEPermissionInfo's index in the query's list of the latter. ExecutorCheckPerms_hook has gained another List * argument; the signature is now: typedef bool (*ExecutorCheckPerms_hook_type) (List *rangeTable, List *rtePermInfos, bool ereport_on_violation); The first argument is no longer used by any in-core uses of the hook, but we leave it in place because there may be other implementations that do. Implementations should likely scan the rtePermInfos list to determine which operations to allow or deny.

2022-12-03Prevent pgstats from getting confused when relkind of a relation changesAndres Freund
When the relkind of a relache entry changes, because a table is converted into a view, pgstats can get confused in 15+, leading to crashes or assertion failures. For HEAD, Tom fixed this in b23cd185fd5, by removing support for converting a table to a view, removing the source of the inconsistency. This commit just adds an assertion that a relcache entry's relkind does not change, just in case we end up with another case of that in the future. As there's no cases of changing relkind anymore, we can't add a test that that's handled correctly. For 15, fix the problem by not maintaining the association with the old pgstat entry when the relkind changes during a relcache invalidation processing. In that case the pgstat entry needs to be unlinked first, to avoid PgStat_TableStatus->relation getting out of sync. Also add a test reproducing the issues. No known problem exists in 11-14, so just add the test there.

2022-11-18Don't read MCV stats needlessly in eqjoinsel().Tom Lane
eqjoinsel() currently makes use of MCV stats only when we have such stats for both sides of the clause. As coded, though, it would fetch those stats even when they're present for just one side. This can be a bit expensive with high statistics targets, leading to wasted effort in common cases such as joining a unique column to a non-unique column. So it seems worth the trouble to do a quick pre-check to confirm that both sides have MCVs before fetching either.

This is similar to 7d25958, and this commit takes care of all the remaining inconsistencies between the initial value used in the C variable associated to a GUC and its default value stored in the GUC tables (as of pg_settings.boot_val). Some of the initial values of the GUCs updated rely on a compile-time default. These are refactored so as the GUC table and its C declaration use the same values.

2022-10-14Store GUC data in a memory context, instead of using malloc().Tom Lane
The only real argument for using malloc directly was that we needed the ability to not throw error on OOM; but mcxt.c grew that feature awhile ago. Keeping the data in a memory context improves accountability and debuggability --- for example, without this it's almost impossible to detect memory leaks in the GUC code with anything less costly than valgrind. Moreover, the next patch in this series will add a hash table for GUC lookup, and it'd be pretty silly to be using palloc-dependent hash facilities alongside malloc'd storage of the underlying data. This is a bit invasive though, in particular causing an API break for GUC check hooks that want to modify the GUC's value or use an "extra" data structure. They must now use guc_malloc() and guc_free() instead of malloc() and free(). Failure to change affected code will result in assertion failures or worse; but thanks to recent effort in the mcxt infrastructure, it shouldn't be too hard to diagnose such oversights (at least in assert-enabled builds). One note is that this changes ParseLongOption() to return short-lived palloc'd not malloc'd data. There wasn't any caller for which the previous definition was better.

2022-09-27Increase width of RelFileNumbers from 32 bits to 56 bits.Robert Haas
RelFileNumbers are now assigned using a separate counter, instead of being assigned from the OID counter. This counter never wraps around: if all 2^56 possible RelFileNumbers are used, an internal error occurs. As the cluster is limited to 2^64 total bytes of WAL, this limitation should not cause a problem in practice. If the counter were 64 bits wide rather than 56 bits wide, we would need to increase the width of the BufferTag, which might adversely impact buffer lookup performance. Also, this lets us use bigint for pg_class.relfilenode and other places where these values are exposed at the SQL level without worrying about overflow. This should remove the need to keep "tombstone" files around until the next checkpoint when relations are removed. We do that to keep RelFileNumbers from being recycled, but now that won't happen anyway. However, this patch doesn't actually change anything in this area; it just makes it possible for a future patch to do so.

2022-09-22meson: Add initial version of meson based build systemAndres Freund
Autoconf is showing its age, fewer and fewer contributors know how to wrangle it. Recursive make has a lot of hard to resolve dependency issues and slow incremental rebuilds. Our home-grown MSVC build system is hard to maintain for developers not using Windows and runs tests serially. While these and other issues could individually be addressed with incremental improvements, together they seem best addressed by moving to a more modern build system. After evaluating different build system choices, we chose to use meson, to a good degree based on the adoption by other open source projects. We decided that it's more realistic to commit a relatively early version of the new build system and mature it in tree. This commit adds an initial version of a meson based build system. It supports building postgres on at least AIX, FreeBSD, Linux, macOS, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris and Windows (however only gcc is supported on aix, solaris). For Windows/MSVC postgres can now be built with ninja (faster, particularly for incremental builds) and msbuild (supporting the visual studio GUI, but building slower). Several aspects (e.g. Windows rc file generation, PGXS compatibility, LLVM bitcode generation, documentation adjustments) are done in subsequent commits requiring further review. Other aspects (e.g. not installing test-only extensions) are not yet addressed. When building on Windows with msbuild, builds are slower when using a visual studio version older than 2019, because those versions do not support MultiToolTask, required by meson for intra-target parallelism. The plan is to remove the MSVC specific build system in src/tools/msvc soon after reaching feature parity. However, we're not planning to remove the autoconf/make build system in the near future. Likely we're going to keep at least the parts required for PGXS to keep working around until all supported versions build with meson.

2022-09-13Split up guc.c for better build speed and ease of maintenance.Tom Lane
guc.c has grown to be one of our largest .c files, making it a bottleneck for compilation. It's also acquired a bunch of knowledge that'd be better kept elsewhere, because of our not very good habit of putting variable-specific check hooks here. Hence, split it up along these lines: * guc.c itself retains just the core GUC housekeeping mechanisms. * New file guc_funcs.c contains the SET/SHOW interfaces and some SQL-accessible functions for GUC manipulation. * New file guc_tables.c contains the data arrays that define the built-in GUC variables, along with some already-exported constant tables. * GUC check/assign/show hook functions are moved to the variable's home module, whenever that's clearly identifiable. A few hard- to-classify hooks ended up in commands/variable.c, which was already a home for miscellaneous GUC hook functions. To avoid cluttering a lot more header files with #include "guc.h", I also invented a new header file utils/guc_hooks.h and put all the GUC hook functions' declarations there, regardless of their originating module. That allowed removal of #include "guc.h" from some existing headers. The fallout from that (hopefully all caught here) demonstrates clearly why such inclusions are best minimized: there are a lot of files that, for example, were getting array.h at two or more levels of remove, despite not having any connection at all to GUCs in themselves. There is some very minor code beautification here, such as renaming a couple of inconsistently-named hook functions and improving some comments. But mostly this just moves code from point A to point B and deals with the ensuing needs for #include adjustments and exporting a few functions that previously weren't exported. Patch by me, per a suggestion from Andres Freund; thanks also to Michael Paquier for the idea to invent guc_funcs.c. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/[email protected]
2022-08-22Make role grant system more consistent with other privileges.Robert Haas
Previously, membership of role A in role B could be recorded in the catalog tables only once. This meant that a new grant of role A to role B would overwrite the previous grant. For other object types, a new grant of permission on an object - in this case role A - exists along side the existing grant provided that the grantor is different. Either grant can be revoked independently of the other, and permissions remain so long as at least one grant remains. Make role grants work similarly. Previously, when granting membership in a role, the superuser could specify any role whatsoever as the grantor, but for other object types, the grantor of record must be either the owner of the object, or a role that currently has privileges to perform a similar GRANT. Implement the same scheme for role grants, treating the bootstrap superuser as the role owner since roles do not have owners. This means that attempting to revoke a grant, or admin option on a grant, can now fail if there are dependent privileges, and that CASCADE can be used to revoke these. It also means that you can't grant ADMIN OPTION on a role back to a user who granted it directly or indirectly to you, similar to how you can't give WITH GRANT OPTION on a privilege back to a role which granted it directly or indirectly to you. Previously, only the superuser could specify GRANTED BY with a user other than the current user. Relax that rule to allow the grantor to be any role whose privileges the current user posseses. This doesn't improve compatibility with what we do for other object types, where support for GRANTED BY is entirely vestigial, but it makes this feature more usable and seems to make sense to change at the same time we're changing related behaviors. Along the way, fix "ALTER GROUP group_name ADD USER user_name" to require the same privileges as "GRANT group_name TO user_name". Previously, CREATEROLE privileges were sufficient for either, but only the former form was permissible with ADMIN OPTION on the role. Now, either CREATEROLE or ADMIN OPTION on the role suffices for either spelling. Patch by me, reviewed by Stephen Frost.

2022-07-28Use TRUNCATE to preserve relfilenode for pg_largeobject + index.Robert Haas
Commit 9a974cbcba005256a19991203583a94b4f9a21a9 arranged to preserve the relfilenode of user tables across pg_upgrade, but failed to notice that pg_upgrade treats pg_largeobject as a user table and thus it needs the same treatment. Otherwise, large objects will appear to vanish after a pg_upgrade. Commit d498e052b4b84ae21b3b68d5b3fda6ead65d1d4d fixed this problem by teaching pg_dump to UPDATE pg_class.relfilenode for pg_largeobject and its index. However, because an UPDATE on the catalog rows doesn't change anything on disk, this can leave stray files behind in the new cluster. They will normally be empty, but it's a little bit untidy. Hence, this commit arranges to do the same thing using DDL. Specifically, it makes TRUNCATE work for the pg_largeobject catalog when in binary-upgrade mode, and it then uses that command in binary-upgrade dumps as a way of setting pg_class.relfilenode for pg_largeobject and its index. That way, the old files are removed from the new cluster. Discussion: http://postgr.es/m/CA+TgmoYYMXGUJO5GZk1-MByJGu_bB8CbOL6GJQC8=Bzt6x6vDg@mail.gmail.com

2022-07-06Change internal RelFileNode references to RelFileNumber or RelFileLocator.Robert Haas
We have been using the term RelFileNode to refer to either (1) the integer that is used to name the sequence of files for a certain relation within the directory set aside for that tablespace/database combination; or (2) that value plus the OIDs of the tablespace and database; or occasionally (3) the whole series of files created for a relation based on those values. Using the same name for more than one thing is confusing. Replace RelFileNode with RelFileNumber when we're talking about just the single number, i.e. (1) from above, and with RelFileLocator when we're talking about all the things that are needed to locate a relation's files on disk, i.e. (2) from above. In the places where we refer to (3) as a relfilenode, instead refer to "relation storage". Since there is a ton of SQL code in the world that knows about pg_class.relfilenode, don't change the name of that column, or of other SQL-facing things that derive their name from it. On the other hand, do adjust closely-related internal terminology. For example, the structure member names dbNode and spcNode appear to be derived from the fact that the structure itself was called RelFileNode, so change those to dbOid and spcOid. Likewise, various variables with names like rnode and relnode get renamed appropriately, according to how they're being used in context. Hopefully, this is clearer than before. It is also preparation for future patches that intend to widen the relfilenumber fields from its current width of 32 bits. Variables that store a relfilenumber are now declared as type RelFileNumber rather than type Oid; right now, these are the same, but that can now more easily be changed. Dilip Kumar, per an idea from me. Reviewed also by Andres Freund. I fixed some whitespace issues, changed a couple of words in a comment, and made one other minor correction.

2022-07-01Add construct_array_builtin, deconstruct_array_builtinPeter Eisentraut
There were many calls to construct_array() and deconstruct_array() for built-in types, for example, when dealing with system catalog columns. These all hardcoded the type attributes necessary to pass to these functions. To simplify this a bit, add construct_array_builtin(), deconstruct_array_builtin() as wrappers that centralize this hardcoded knowledge. This simplifies many call sites and reduces the amount of hardcoded stuff that is spread around.

2022-06-16Revert changes in HOT handling of BRIN indexesTomas Vondra
This reverts commits 5753d4ee32 and fe60b67250 that modified HOT to ignore BRIN indexes. The commit message for 5753d4ee32 claims that: When determining whether an index update may be skipped by using HOT, we can ignore attributes indexed only by BRIN indexes. There are no index pointers to individual tuples in BRIN, and the page range summary will be updated anyway as it relies on visibility info. This is partially incorrect - it's true BRIN indexes don't point to individual tuples, so HOT chains are not an issue, but the visibitlity info is not sufficient to keep the index up to date. This can easily result in corrupted indexes, as demonstrated in the hackers thread. This does not mean relaxing the HOT restrictions for BRIN is a lost cause, but it needs to handle the two aspects (allowing HOT chains and updating the page range summaries) as separate. But that requires a major changes, and it's too late for that in the current dev cycle. Reported-by: Tomas Vondra Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/[email protected]

2022-04-07pgstat: store statistics in shared memory.Andres Freund
Previously the statistics collector received statistics updates via UDP and shared statistics data by writing them out to temporary files regularly. These files can reach tens of megabytes and are written out up to twice a second. This has repeatedly prevented us from adding additional useful statistics. Now statistics are stored in shared memory. Statistics for variable-numbered objects are stored in a dshash hashtable (backed by dynamic shared memory). Fixed-numbered stats are stored in plain shared memory. The header for pgstat.c contains an overview of the architecture. The stats collector is not needed anymore, remove it. By utilizing the transactional statistics drop infrastructure introduced in a prior commit statistics entries cannot "leak" anymore. Previously leaked statistics were dropped by pgstat_vacuum_stat(), called from [auto-]vacuum. On systems with many small relations pgstat_vacuum_stat() could be quite expensive. Now that replicas drop statistics entries for dropped objects, it is not necessary anymore to reset stats when starting from a cleanly shut down replica. Subsequent commits will perform some further code cleanup, adapt docs and add tests. Bumps PGSTAT_FILE_FORMAT_ID.

2022-04-06Allow granting SET and ALTER SYSTEM privileges on GUC parameters.Tom Lane
This patch allows "PGC_SUSET" parameters to be set by non-superusers if they have been explicitly granted the privilege to do so. The privilege to perform ALTER SYSTEM SET/RESET on a specific parameter can also be granted. Such privileges are cluster-wide, not per database. They are tracked in a new shared catalog, pg_parameter_acl. Granting and revoking these new privileges works as one would expect. One caveat is that PGC_USERSET GUCs are unaffected by the SET privilege --- one could wish that those were handled by a revocable grant to PUBLIC, but they are not, because we couldn't make it robust enough for GUCs defined by extensions.

2022-03-29Add new block-by-block strategy for CREATE DATABASE.Robert Haas
Because this strategy logs changes on a block-by-block basis, it avoids the need to checkpoint before and after the operation. However, because it logs each changed block individually, it might generate a lot of extra write-ahead logging if the template database is large. Therefore, the older strategy remains available via a new STRATEGY parameter to CREATE DATABASE, and a corresponding --strategy option to createdb. Somewhat controversially, this patch assembles the list of relations to be copied to the new database by reading the pg_class relation of the template database. Cross-database access like this isn't normally possible, but it can be made to work here because there can't be any connections to the database being copied, nor can it contain any in-doubt transactions. Even so, we have to use lower-level interfaces than normal, since the table scan and relcache interfaces will not work for a database to which we're not connected. The advantage of this approach is that we do not need to rely on the filesystem to determine what ought to be copied, but instead on PostgreSQL's own knowledge of the database structure. This avoids, for example, copying stray files that happen to be located in the source database directory. Dilip Kumar, with a fairly large number of cosmetic changes by me.
