Elide not-null constraint checks on child tables during PK creation
We were unnecessarily acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on all child tables
when "ALTER TABLE ONLY sometab ADD PRIMARY KEY" was run on their parent
table, an oversight in commit
14e87ffa5c54. This caused deadlocks
during pg_restore of partitioned tables.
The reason to acquire the AEL was that we need to verify that child
tables have the involved columns already marked as not-null; but if the
parent table has an inheritable not-null constraint, then all children
must necessarily be in the correct state already, so we can skip the
check, which avoids acquiring the lock. Reorder the code so that it
works that way. This doesn't change things in the case where the
constraint doesn't exist, but that case is of lesser importance because
it doesn't occur during parallel pg_restore.
While at it, reword some errmsg() and add errhint() to similar cases in
related but not adjacent code.

Fix pg_dump --clean with partitioned indexes.
We'd try to drop the partitions of a partitioned index separately,
which is disallowed by the backend, leading to an error during
restore. While the error is harmless, it causes problems if you
try to use --single-transaction mode.
Fortunately, there seems no need to do a DROP at all, since the
partition will go away silently when we drop either the parent index

being a partition.

Fix an incorrect check in get_memoize_path
Memoize typically marks cache entries as complete after fully scanning
the inner side of a join. However, in the case of unique joins, we
skip to the next outer tuple as soon as the first matching inner tuple
is found, leaving no opportunity to scan the inner side to completion.
To work around that, we mark cache entries as complete after fetching
the first matching inner tuple in unique joins.
This approach is only safe when all of the join's restriction clauses
are parameterized; otherwise, there is no guarantee that reading just
one tuple from the inner side is sufficient.
Currently, we check for this by verifying that the number of clauses
in ppi_clauses is no less than the number of the join's restriction
clauses. However, this check isn't entirely reliable, as ppi_clauses
includes join clauses available from all outer rels, not just the
current outer rel. This means the check could pass even if a
restriction clause isn't parameterized, as long as another join
clause, which doesn't belong to the current join, is included in
ppi_clauses.
To fix this, we explicitly check whether each restriction clause of
the current join is present in ppi_clauses.
While we're here, remove the XXX comment from the modified code, as
it's not justified; in certain cases, it's not possible to move a join
clause to the inner side.
This is arguably a bugfix, but no backpatch given the lack of field
reports.

Fix failure for generated column with a not-null domain constraint.
If a GENERATED column is declared to have a domain data type where
the domain's constraints disallow null values, INSERT commands failed
because we built a targetlist that included coercing a null constant
to the domain's type. The failure occurred even when the generated
value would have been perfectly OK. This is adjacent to the issues
fixed in
0da39aa76, but we didn't notice for lack of testing a domain
with such a constraint.
We aren't going to use the result of the targetlist entry for the
generated column --- ExecComputeStoredGenerated will overwrite it.
So it's not really necessary that it have the exact datatype of
the generated column. This patch fixes the problem by changing
the targetlist entry to be a null Const of the domain's base type,
which should be sufficiently legal. (We do have to tweak
ExecCheckPlanOutput to accept the situation, though.)
This has been broken since we implemented generated columns.
However, this patch only applies easily as far back as v14, partly
because I (tgl) only carried
0da39aa76 back that far, but mostly
because v14 significantly refactored the handling of INSERT/UPDATE
targetlists. Given the lack of field complaints and the short
remaining support lifetime of v13, I judge the cost-benefit ratio
not good for devising a version that would work in v13.

Fix GIN's shimTriConsistentFn to not corrupt its input.
Commit
0f21db36d made an assumption that GIN triConsistentFns
would not modify their input entryRes[] arrays. But in fact,
the "shim" triConsistentFn that we use for opclasses that don't
supply their own did exactly that, potentially leading to wrong
answers from a GIN index search. Through bad luck, none of the
test cases that we have for such opclasses exposed the bug.
One response to this could be that the assumption of consistency check
functions not modifying entryRes[] arrays is a bad one, but it still
seems reasonable to me. Notably, shimTriConsistentFn is itself
assuming that with respect to the underlying boolean consistentFn,
so it's sure being self-centered in supposing that it gets to do so.
Fortunately, it's quite simple to fix shimTriConsistentFn to restore
the entry-time state of entryRes[], so let's do that instead.
This issue doesn't affect any core GIN opclasses, since they all
supply their own triConsistentFns. It does affect contrib modules
btree_gin, hstore, and intarray.
Along the way, I (tgl) noticed that shimTriConsistentFn failed to
pick up on a "recheck" flag returned by its first call to the boolean
consistentFn. This may be only a latent problem, since it would be
unlikely for a consistentFn to set recheck for the all-false case
and not any other cases. (Indeed, none of our contrib modules do
that.) Nonetheless, it's formally wrong.

Fix race with synchronous_standby_names at startup
synchronous_standby_names cannot be reloaded safely by backends, and the
checkpointer is in charge of updating a state in shared memory if the
GUC is enabled in WalSndCtl, to let the backends know if they should
wait or not for a given LSN. This provides a strict control on the
timing of the waiting queues if the GUC is enabled or disabled, then
reloaded. The checkpointer is also in charge of waking up the backends
that could be waiting for a LSN when the GUC is disabled.
This logic had a race condition at startup, where it would be possible
for backends to not wait for a LSN even if synchronous_standby_names is
enabled. This would cause visibility issues with transactions that we
should be waiting for but they were not. The problem lasts until the
checkpointer does its initial update of the shared memory state when it
loads synchronous_standby_names.
In order to take care of this problem, the shared memory state in
WalSndCtl is extended to detect if it has been initialized by the
checkpointer, and not only check if synchronous_standby_names is
defined. In WalSndCtlData, sync_standbys_defined is renamed to
sync_standbys_status, a bits8 able to know about two states:
- If the shared memory state has been initialized. This flag is set by
the checkpointer at startup once, and never removed.
- If synchronous_standby_names is known as defined in the shared memory
state. This is the same as the previous sync_standbys_defined in
WalSndCtl.
This method gives a way for backends to decide what they should do until
the shared memory area is initialized, and they now ultimately fall back
to a check on the GUC value in this case, which is the best thing that
can be done.
Fortunately, SyncRepUpdateSyncStandbysDefined() is called immediately by
the checkpointer when this process starts, so the window is very narrow.
It is possible to enlarge the problematic window by making the
checkpointer wait at the beginning of SyncRepUpdateSyncStandbysDefined()
with a hardcoded sleep for example, and doing so has showed that a 2PC
visibility test is indeed failing. On machines slow enough, this bug
would cause spurious failures.
In 17~, we have looked at the possibility of adding an injection point
to have a reproducible test, but as the problematic window happens at
early startup, we would need to invent a way to make an injection point
optionally persistent across restarts when attached, something that
would be fine for this case as it would involve the checkpointer. This
issue is quite old, and can be reproduced on all the stable branches.

Fix data loss in logical replication.
Data loss can happen when the DDLs like ALTER PUBLICATION ... ADD TABLE ...
or ALTER TYPE ... that don't take a strong lock on table happens
concurrently to DMLs on the tables involved in the DDL. This happens
because logical decoding doesn't distribute invalidations to concurrent
transactions and those transactions use stale cache data to decode the
changes. The problem becomes bigger because we keep using the stale cache
even after those in-progress transactions are finished and skip the
changes required to be sent to the client.
This commit fixes the issue by distributing invalidation messages from
catalog-modifying transactions to all concurrent in-progress transactions.
This allows the necessary rebuild of the catalog cache when decoding new
changes after concurrent DDL.
We observed performance regression primarily during frequent execution of
*publication DDL* statements that modify the published tables. The
regression is minor or nearly nonexistent for DDLs that do not affect the
published tables or occur infrequently, making this a worthwhile cost to
resolve a longstanding data loss issue.
An alternative approach considered was to take a strong lock on each
affected table during publication modification. However, this would only
address issues related to publication DDLs (but not the ALTER TYPE ...)
and require locking every relation in the database for publications
created as FOR ALL TABLES, which is impractical.
The bug exists in all supported branches, but we are backpatching till 14.
The fix for 13 requires somewhat bigger changes than this fix, so the fix
for that branch is still under discussion.

Update wording in optimizer/README for EquivalenceClasses
d69d45a5a changed how em_is_child members are stored in
EquivalenceClasses. Children are no longer stored in the ec_members
list. optimizer/README mentioned that most operations "should ignore
child members", but that felt a little untrue now since child members
are now stored in a separate place, they simply won't be found by the
normal means of looking (a foreach loop over ec_members), and if you don't
find them, there's technically no need to "ignore" them.
Here we tweak the wording slightly to reflect the new storage location
for child members.

Fix performance issue in deadlock-parallel isolation test.
With debug_discard_caches = 1, the runtime of this test script
increased by about a factor of 10 after commit
0dca5d68d. That's
causing some of our buildfarm animals to fail with a timeout.
The reason for the increased time is that now we are re-planning
some intentionally-non-inlineable SQL functions on every execution,
where the previous coding held onto the original plans throughout
the outer query. The previous behavior was arguably quite buggy,
so I don't think
0dca5d68d deserves blame here. But we would
like this test script to not take so long.
To fix, instead of forcing a "parallel safe" label via a
non-inlineable SQL function, apply it directly to the advisory-lock
functions by making internal-language aliases for them. A small
problem is that the advisory-lock functions return void but this
test would really like them to return integer 1. I cheated here by
declaring the aliases as returning "int". That's perhaps undue
familiarity with the implementation of PG_RETURN_VOID(), but that
hasn't changed in twenty years and is unlikely to do so in the next
twenty. That gets us an integer 0 result, and then an inline-able
wrapper to convert that to an integer 1 allows the rest of the script
to remain unchanged.
For me, this reduces the runtime with debug_discard_caches = 1
by about 100x, making the test comfortably faster than before
instead of slower.

Fix test races between syscache-update-pruned.spec and autovacuum.
This spec fails ~3% of my Valgrind runs, and the spec has failed on Valgrind
buildfarm member skink at a similar rate. Two problems contributed to that:
- A competing buffer pin triggered VACUUM's lazy_scan_noprune() path, causing
"tuples missed: 1 dead from 1 pages not removed due to cleanup lock
contention". FREEZE fixes that.
- The spec ran lazy VACUUM immediately after VACUUM FULL. The spec implicitly
assumed lazy VACUUM prunes the one tuple that VACUUM FULL made dead. First
wait for old snapshots, making that assumption reliable.
This also adds two forms of defense in depth:
- Wait for snapshots using shared catalog pruning rules (VISHORIZON_SHARED).
This avoids the removable cutoff moving backward when an XID-bearing
autoanalyze process runs in another database. That may never happen in this

- Use lazy VACUUM option DISABLE_PAGE_SKIPPING. Commit

Move contrib/spi testing from core regression tests to contrib/spi.
It's weird to have the core regression tests depending on contrib
code, and coverage testing shows that those test queries add nothing
to the core-code coverage of the core tests. So pull those test bits
out and put them into ordinary test scripts inside contrib/spi/,
making that more like other contrib modules.
Aside from being structurally nicer, anything we can take out of the
core tests (which are executed multiple times per check-world run)
and put into tests executed only once should be a win. It doesn't
look like this change will buy a whole lot of milliseconds, but a
cycle saved is a cycle earned.
Also, there is some discussion around possibly removing refint and/or
autoinc altogether. I don't know if that will happen, but we'd
certainly need to decouple them from the core tests to do so.
The tests for autoinc were quite intertwined with the undocumented
"ttdummy" trigger in regress.c. That made the tests very hard to
understand and contributed nothing to autoinc's testing either.
So I just deleted ttdummy and rewrote the autoinc tests without it.
I realized while doing this that the description of autoinc in
the SGML docs is not a great description of what the function
actually does, so the patch includes some updates to those docs.

When calling the function it sends a signal to the specified

in detail, followed by a cumulative total in case the number
of contexts exceed the max allocated amount of shared memory.
Each process is limited to use at most 1Mb memory for this.
A summary can also be explicitly requested by the user, this
will return the TopMemoryContext and a cumulative total of
all lower contexts.
In order to not block on busy processes the caller specifies
the number of seconds during which to retry before timing out.
In the case where no statistics are published within the set
timeout, the last known statistics are returned, or NULL if
no previously published statistics exist. This allows dash-
board type queries to continually publish even if the target
process is temporarily congested. Context records contain a

Speedup child EquivalenceMember lookup in planner
When planning queries to partitioned tables, we clone all
EquivalenceMembers belonging to the partitioned table into em_is_child
EquivalenceMembers for each non-pruned partition. For partitioned tables
with large numbers of partitions, this meant the ec_members list could
become large and code searching that list would become slow. Effectively,
the more partitions which were present, the more searches needed to be
performed for operations such as find_ec_member_matching_expr() during
create_plan() and the more partitions present, the longer these searches
would take, i.e., a quadratic slowdown.
To fix this, here we adjust how we store EquivalenceMembers for
em_is_child members. Instead of storing these directly in ec_members,
these are now stored in a new array of Lists in the EquivalenceClass,
which is indexed by the relid. When we want to find EquivalenceMembers
belonging to a certain child relation, we can narrow the search to the
array element for that relation.
To make EquivalenceMember lookup easier and to reduce the amount of code
change, this commit provides a pair of functions to allow iteration over
the EquivalenceMembers of an EC which also handles finding the child
members, if required. Callers that never need to look at child members
can remain using the foreach loop over ec_members, which will now often
be faster due to only parent-level members being stored there.
The actual performance increases here are highly dependent on the number
of partitions and the query being planned. Performance increases can be
visible with as few as 8 partitions, but the speedup is marginal for
such low numbers of partitions. The speedups become much more visible
with a few dozen to hundreds of partitions. With some tested queries
using 56 partitions, the planner was around 3x faster than before. For
use cases with thousands of partitions, these are likely to become
significantly faster. Some testing has shown planner speedups of 60x or
more with 8192 partitions.

This commit makes WAL senders more aggressive with their statistics
flush, using an internal of 1 second, with the flush timing calculated
based on the existing GetCurrentTimestamp() done before the sleeps done
to wait for some activity. Note that the sleep done for logical and
physical WAL senders happens in two different code paths, so the stats
flushes need to happen in these two places.
One test is added for the physical WAL sender case, and one for the
logical WAL sender case. This can be done in a stable fashion by
relying on the WAL generated by the TAP tests in combination with a
stats reset while a server is running, but only on HEAD as WAL data has
been added to pg_stat_io in
a051e71e28a1.
This issue exists since
a9c70b46dbe and the introduction of pg_stat_io,
so backpatch down to v16.

Add pg_buffercache_numa view with NUMA node info
Introduces a new view pg_buffercache_numa, showing NUMA memory nodes
for individual buffers. For each buffer the view returns an entry for
each memory page, with the associated NUMA node.
The database blocks and OS memory pages may have different size - the
default block size is 8KB, while the memory page is 4K (on x86). But
other combinations are possible, depending on configure parameters,
platform, etc. This means buffers may overlap with multiple memory
pages, each associated with a different NUMA node.
To determine the NUMA node for a buffer, we first need to touch the
memory pages using pg_numa_touch_mem_if_required, otherwise we might get
status -2 (ENOENT = The page is not present), indicating the page is
either unmapped or unallocated.
The view may be relatively expensive, especially when accessed for the
first time in a backend, as it touches all memory pages to get reliable
information about the NUMA node. This may also force allocation of the
shared memory.

check_foreign_key incorrectly used a single cache entry for its saved

queries to execute depending on whether it fires for an update or a
delete. This caused the wrong things to be done if both types of
event occur in one session. (This was indeed visible in the triggers
regression test, but apparently nobody ever questioned it.) To fix,
add the operation type to the cache key.
Its debug log output failed to distinguish update from delete
events, too.
Also, change the intended trigger usage from BEFORE ROW to AFTER ROW,
and add checks insisting on that usage. BEFORE is really rather
unsafe, since if there are other BEFORE triggers they might change or
cancel the operation we are trying to check. AFTER triggers are the
standard way to propagate changes to other rows, so we should follow
that way here.

aio: Make AIO more compatible with valgrind
In some edge cases valgrind flags issues with the memory referenced by
IOs. All of the cases addressed in this change are false positives.
Most of the false positives are caused by UnpinBuffer[NoOwner] marking buffer
data as inaccessible. This happens even though the AIO subsystem still holds a
pin. That's good, there shouldn't be accesses to the buffer outside of AIO
related code until it is pinned by "user" code again. But it requires some
explicit work - if the buffer is not pinned by the current backend, we need to
explicitly mark the buffer data accessible/inaccessible while executing
completion callbacks.
That however causes a cascading issue in IO workers: After the completion
callbacks for a buffer is executed, the page is marked as inaccessible. If
subsequently the same worker is executing IO targeting the same buffer, we
would get an error, as the memory is still marked inaccessible. To avoid that,
we need to explicitly mark the memory as accessible in IO workers.
Another issue is that IO executed in workers or via io_uring will not mark
memory as DEFINED. In the case of workers that is because valgrind does not
track memory definedness across processes. For io_uring that is because
valgrind does not understand io_uring, and therefore its IOs never mark memory
as defined, whether the completions are processed in the defining process or
in another context. It's not entirely clear how to best solve that. The
current user of AIO is not affected, as it explicitly marks buffers as DEFINED
& NOACCESS anyway. Defer solving this issue until we have a user with
different needs.

Fix erroneous construction of functions' dependencies on transforms.
The list of transform objects that a function should use is specified
in CREATE FUNCTION's TRANSFORM clause, and then represented indirectly
in pg_proc.protrftypes. However, ProcedureCreate completely ignored
that for purposes of constructing pg_depend entries, and instead made
the function depend on any transforms that exist for its parameter or
return data types. This is bad in both directions: the function could
be made dependent on a transform it does not actually use, or it
could try to use a transform that's since been dropped. (The latter
scenario would require use of a transform that's not for any of the
parameter or return types, but that seems legit for cases where the
function performs SQL operations internally.)
To fix, pass in the list of transform objects that CreateFunction
identified, and build pg_depend entries from that not from the
parameter/return types. This results in changes in the expected
test outputs in contrib/bool_plperl, which I guess are due to
different ordering of pg_depend entries -- that test case is
surely not exercising either of the problem scenarios.
This fix is not back-patchable as-is: changing the signature of
ProcedureCreate seems too risky in stable branches. We could
do something like making ProcedureCreate a wrapper around
ProcedureCreateExt or so. However, I'm more inclined to do
nothing in the back branches. We had no field complaints up to
now, so the hazards don't seem to be a big issue in practice.
And we couldn't do anything about existing pg_depend entries,
so a back-patched fix would result in a mishmash of dependencies
created according to different rules. That cure could be worse
than the disease, perhaps.
I bumped catversion just to lay down a marker that the expected
contents of pg_depend are a bit different than before.

Allow NOT NULL constraints to be added as NOT VALID
This allows them to be added without scanning the table, and validating
them afterwards without holding access exclusive lock on the table after
any violating rows have been deleted or fixed.
Doing ALTER TABLE ... SET NOT NULL for a column that has an invalid
not-null constraint validates that constraint. ALTER TABLE .. VALIDATE
CONSTRAINT is also supported. There are various checks on whether an
invalid constraint is allowed in a child table when the parent table has
a valid constraint; this should match what we do for enforced/not
enforced constraints.
pg_attribute.attnotnull is now only an indicator for whether a not-null
constraint exists for the column; whether it's valid or invalid must be
queried in pg_constraint. Applications can continue to query
pg_attribute.attnotnull as before, but now it's possible that NULL rows
are present in the column even when that's set to true.
For backend internal purposes, we cache the nullability status in
CompactAttribute->attnullability that each tuple descriptor carries
(replacing CompactAttribute.attnotnull, which was a mirror of
Form_pg_attribute.attnotnull). During the initial tuple descriptor
creation, based on the pg_attribute scan, we set this to UNRESTRICTED if
pg_attribute.attnotnull is false, or to UNKNOWN if it's true; then we
update the latter to VALID or INVALID depending on the pg_constraint
scan. This flag is also copied when tupledescs are copied.
Comparing tuple descs for equality must also compare the
CompactAttribute.attnullability flag and return false in case of a
mismatch.
pg_dump deals with these constraints by storing the OIDs of invalid
not-null constraints in a separate array, and running a query to obtain
their properties. The regular table creation SQL omits them entirely.
They are then dealt with in the same way as "separate" CHECK
constraints, and dumped after the data has been loaded. Because no
additional pg_dump infrastructure was required, we don't bump its
version number.
I decided not to bump catversion either, because the old catalog state
works perfectly in the new world. (Trying to run with new catalog state
and the old server version would likely run into issues, however.)
System catalogs do not support invalid not-null constraints (because
commit
14e87ffa5c54 didn't allow them to have pg_constraint rows
anyway.)

Cluster.pm's connect_ok() and connect_fails(), rather than the data in

Use "(void)" to mark pgstat_lock_entry(..., false) calls.
This should silence Coverity's complaints about the result being
sometimes ignored.
I'm inclined to think that these routines are simply misdesigned,
because sometimes it's okay to ignore the result and sometimes it
isn't, and we have no way to enforce the latter. But for now
I just added a comment.

Avoid unnecessary copying of a string in pg_restore.c
Coverity complained about a possible overrun in the copy, but there is
no actual need to copy the string at all.

Relax ordering-related hardcoded btree requirements in planning
There were several places in ordering-related planning where a
requirement for btree was hardcoded but an amcanorder index could
suffice. This fixes that. We just need to do the necessary mapping
between strategy numbers and compare types and adjust some related
APIs so that this works independent of btree strategy numbers. For
instance, non-btree amcanorder indexes can now be used to support
sorting and merge joins. Also, predtest.c works independent of btree
strategy numbers now.
To avoid performance regressions, some details on btree and other
built-in index types are still hardcoded as shortcuts, but other index
types now have access to the same features by providing the required
flags and callbacks.

Put enable_self_join_elimination into postgresql.conf.sample
fc069a3a6319 implements Self-Join Elimination (SJE) and provides a new
GUC variable: enable_self_join_elimination. This commit adds
enable_self_join_elimination to the postgresql.conf.sample, as it was

Compute CRC32C using AVX-512 instructions where available
The previous implementation of CRC32C on x86 relied on the native
CRC32 instruction from the SSE 4.2 extension, which operates on
up to 8 bytes at a time. We can get a substantial speedup by using
carryless multiplication on SIMD registers, processing 64 bytes per
loop iteration. Shorter inputs fall back to ordinary CRC instructions.
On Intel Tiger Lake hardware (2020), CRC is now 50% faster for inputs
between 64 and 112 bytes, and 3x faster for 256 bytes.
The VPCLMULQDQ instruction on 512-bit registers has been available
on Intel hardware since 2019 and AMD since 2022. There is an older
variant for 128-bit registers, but at least on Zen 2 it performs worse
than normal CRC instructions for short inputs.
We must now do a runtime check, even for builds that target SSE
4.2. This doesn't matter in practice for WAL (arguably the most
critical case), because since commit
e2809e3a1 the final computation
with the 20-byte WAL header is inlined and unrolled when targeting
that extension. Compared with two direct function calls, testing
showed equal or slightly faster performance in performing an indirect
function call on several dozen bytes followed by inlined instructions
on constant input of 20 bytes.
The MIT-licensed implementation was generated with the "generate"
program from

Based on: "Fast CRC Computation for Generic Polynomials Using PCLMULQDQ
Instruction" V. Gopal, E. Ozturk, et al., 2009
