22 hoursMinor tweaks for pg_test_timing.Tom Lane
Increase the size of the "direct" histogram to 10K elements, so that we can precisely track loop times up to 10 microseconds. (Going further than that seems pretty uninteresting, even for very old and slow machines.) Relabel "Per loop time" as "Average loop time" for clarity. Pre-zero the histogram arrays to make sure that they are loaded into processor cache and any copy-on-write overhead has happened before we enter the timing loop. Also use unlikely() to keep the compiler from thinking that the clock-went-backwards case is part of the hot loop. Neither of these hacks made a lot of difference on my own machine, but they seem like they might help on some platforms. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/[email protected]

This commit adds a new system view that provides information about entries in the dynamic shared memory (DSM) registry. Specifically, it returns the name, type, and size of each entry. Note that since we cannot discover the size of dynamic shared memory areas (DSAs) and hash tables backed by DSAs (dshashes) without first attaching to them, the size column is left as NULL for those.

Per discussion, and as it is only used by psql, let's remove it to not clutter the libpq API more than necessary.

46 hoursChange pg_test_timing to measure in nanoseconds not microseconds.Tom Lane
Most of our platforms have better-than-microsecond timing resolution, so the original definition of this program is getting less and less useful. Make it report nanoseconds not microseconds. Also, add a second output table that reports the exact observed timing durations, up to a limit of 1024 ns; and be sure to report the largest observed duration. The documentation for this program included a lot of system-specific details that now seem largely obsolete. Move all that text to the PG wiki, where perhaps it will be easier to maintain and update. Also, improve the TAP test so that it actually runs a short standard run, allowing most of the code to be exercised; its coverage before was abysmal.

This commit standardizes the output format for LSNs to ensure consistent representation across various tools and messages. Previously, LSNs were inconsistently printed as `%X/%X` in some contexts, while others used zero-padding. This often led to confusion when comparing. To address this, the LSN format is now uniformly set to `%X/%08X`, ensuring the lower 32-bit part is always zero-padded to eight hexadecimal digits.

The documentation for pg_replication_slots previously mentioned only max_slot_wal_keep_size as a condition under which the wal_status column could show unreserved or lost. However, since commit be87200, replication slots can also be invalidated due to horizon or wal_level, and since commit ac0e33136ab, idle_replication_slot_timeout can also trigger this state.

8 daysmeson: Increase minimum version to 0.57.2Peter Eisentraut
The previous minimum was to maintain support for Python 3.5, but we now require Python 3.6 anyway (commit 45363fca637), so that reason is obsolete. A small raise to Meson 0.57 allows getting rid of a fair amount of version conditionals and silences some future-deprecated warnings. With the version bump, the following deprecation warnings appeared and are fixed: WARNING: Project targets '>=0.57' but uses feature deprecated since '0.55.0': ExternalProgram.path. use ExternalProgram.full_path() instead WARNING: Project targets '>=0.57' but uses feature deprecated since '0.56.0': meson.build_root. use meson.project_build_root() or meson.global_build_root() instead. It turns out that meson 0.57.0 and 0.57.1 are buggy for our use, so the minimum is actually set to 0.57.2. This is specific to this version series; in the future we won't necessarily need to be this precise.

This commit renames the pg_recvlogical options --two-phase and --failover to --enable-two-phase and --enable-failover, respectively. The new names distinguish these enabling options from action options like --start and --create-slot, while clearly indicating their purpose to enable specific logical slot features. The option --failover is new in PostgreSQL 18 (commit cf2655a9029), so no compatibility break there. The option --two-phase has existed since PostgreSQL 15 (commit cda03cfed6b), so for compatibility we keep the old option name --two-phase around as deprecated. Also note that pg_createsubscriber has acquired an --enable-two-phase option, so this increases consistency across tools.

2025-06-25Restrict virtual columns to use built-in functions and typesPeter Eisentraut
Just like selecting from a view is exploitable (CVE-2024-7348), selecting from a table with virtual generated columns is exploitable. Users who are concerned about this can avoid selecting from views, but telling them to avoid selecting from tables is less practical. To address this, this changes it so that generation expressions for virtual generated columns are restricted to using built-in functions and types, and the columns are restricted to having a built-in type. We assume that built-in functions and types cannot be exploited for this purpose. In the future, this could be expanded by some new mechanism to declare other functions and types as safe or trusted for this purpose, but that is to be designed. (An alternative approach might have been to expand the restrict_nonsystem_relation_kind GUC to handle this, like the fix for CVE-2024-7348. But that is kind of an ugly approach. That fix had to fit in the constraints of fixing an ancient vulnerability in all branches. Since virtual generated columns are new, we're free from the constraints of the past, and we can and should use cleaner options.)
