extension_control_path
The new GUC extension_control_path specifies a path to look for
extension control files. The default value is $system, which looks in
the compiled-in location, as before.
The path search uses the same code and works in the same way as
dynamic_library_path.
Some use cases of this are: (1) testing extensions during package
builds, (2) installing extensions outside security-restricted
containers like Python.app (on macOS), (3) adding extensions to
PostgreSQL running in a Kubernetes environment using operators such as
CloudNativePG without having to rebuild the base image for each new
extension.
There is also a tweak in Makefile.global so that it is possible to
install extensions using PGXS into an different directory than the
default, using 'make install prefix=/else/where'. This previously
only worked when specifying the subdirectories, like 'make install
datadir=/else/where/share pkglibdir=/else/where/lib', for purely
implementation reasons. (Of course, without the path feature,
installing elsewhere was rarely useful.)

psql: Allow queries terminated by semicolons while in pipeline mode
Currently, the only way to pipe queries in an ongoing pipeline (in a
\startpipeline block) is to leverage the meta-commands able to create
extended queries such as \bind, \parse or \bind_named.
While this is good enough for testing the backend with pipelines, it has
been mentioned that it can also be very useful to allow queries
terminated by semicolons to be appended to a pipeline. For example, it
would be possible to migrate existing psql scripts to use pipelines by
just adding a set of \startpipeline and \endpipeline meta-commands,
making such scripts more efficient.
Doing such a change is proving to be simple in psql: queries terminated
by semicolons can be executed through PQsendQueryParams() without any
parameters set when the pipeline mode is active, instead of
PQsendQuery(), the default, like pgbench. \watch is still forbidden
while in a pipeline, as it expects its results to be processed
synchronously.
The large portion of this commit consists in providing more test
coverage, with mixes of extended queries appended in a pipeline by \bind
and friends, and queries terminated by semicolons.
This improvement has been suggested by Daniel Vérité.

Ensure first ModifyTable rel initialized if all are pruned
Commit
cbc127917e introduced tracking of unpruned relids to avoid
processing pruned relations, and changed ExecInitModifyTable() to
initialize only unpruned result relations. As a result, MERGE
statements that prune all target partitions can now lead to crashes
or incorrect behavior during execution.
The crash occurs because some executor code paths rely on
ModifyTableState.resultRelInfo[0] being present and initialized,
even when no result relations remain after pruning. For example,
ExecMerge() and ExecMergeNotMatched() use the first resultRelInfo
to determine the appropriate action. Similarly,
ExecInitPartitionInfo() assumes that at least one result relation
exists.
To preserve these assumptions, ExecInitModifyTable() now includes the
first result relation in the initialized result relation list if all
result relations for that ModifyTable were pruned. To enable that,
ExecDoInitialPruning() ensures the first relation is locked if it was
pruned and locking is necessary.
To support this exception to the pruning logic, PlannedStmt now
includes a list of RT indexes identifying the first result relation
of each ModifyTable node in the plan. This allows
ExecDoInitialPruning() to check whether each such relation was
pruned and, if so, lock it if necessary.

Increase io_combine_limit range to 1MB.
The default of 128kB is unchanged, but the upper limit is changed from
32 blocks to 128 blocks, unless the operating system's IOV_MAX is too
low. Some other RDBMSes seem to cap their multi-block buffer pool I/O
around this number, and it seems useful to allow experimentation.
The concrete change is to our definition of PG_IOV_MAX, which provides
the maximum for io_combine_limit and io_max_combine_limit. It also
affects a couple of other places that work with arrays of struct iovec
or smaller objects on the stack, so we still don't want to use the
system IOV_MAX directly without a clamp: it is not under our control and
likely to be 1024. 128 seems acceptable for our current usage.
For Windows, we can't use real scatter/gather yet, so we continue to
define our own IOV_MAX value of 16 and emulate preadv()/pwritev() with
loops. Someone would need to research the trade-offs of raising that
number.

useful, but the primary motivation is:
aio_init.c allocates shared memory for all asynchronous IOs including
some per-block data, and we didn't want to waste memory you'd never used
by assuming they could be up to PG_IOV_MAX. This commit already halves
the size of 'AioHandleIov' and 'AioHandleData'. A follow-up commit can
now expand PG_IOV_MAX without affecting that.
Since our GUC system doesn't support dependencies or cross-checks
between GUCs, the user-settable one now assigns a "raw" value to

To allow the number of IO workers to be increased without a restart, we need

get_parallel_object_list used to do, but now the API is clearer (IMO
anyway). Another difference is that accompanying the list of indexes
now we have a list of tables as an OID list rather than a
fully-qualified table name list. This makes some comparisons easier,
and we don't really need the names of the tables, just their OIDs.
(This requires atooid, which requires <stdlib.h>).

Increase default maintenance_io_concurrency to 16
Since its introduction in
fc34b0d9de27a, the default
maintenance_io_concurrency has been larger than the default
effective_io_concurrency. maintenance_io_concurrency primarily
controlled prefetching done on behalf of the whole system, for
operations like recovery. Therefore it makes sense for it to have a
value equal to or greater than effective_io_concurrency, which controls
I/O concurrency for reading a relation in a bitmap heap scan.
ff79b5b2ab increased effective_io_concurrency to 16, so we'll increase
maintenance_io_concurrency as well. For now, though, we'll keep the
defaults of effective_io_concurrency and maintenance_io_concurrency
equal to one another (16).
On fast, high IOPs systems, significantly higher values of
maintenance_io_concurrency are observably beneficial [1]. However, such
values would flood low IOPs systems and increase overall system I/O
latency.
It is worth mentioning that since
9256822608f and
c3e775e608f,
maintenance_io_concurrency also controls the I/O concurrency of each
vacuum worker. Since many autovacuum workers may be simultaneously
issuing I/Os, we want to keep maintenance_io_concurrency appropriately
conservative.

psql: Add \sendpipeline to send query buffers while in a pipeline
In the initial pipeline support for psql added in
41625ab8ea3d, \g was
used as the way to push extended query into an ongoing pipeline. \gx
was blocked.
These two meta-commands have format-related options that can be applied
when fetching a query result (expanded, etc.). As the results of a
pipeline are fetched asynchronously, not at the moment of the
meta-command execution but at the moment of a \getresults or a
\endpipeline, authorizing \g while blocking \gx leads to a confusing
implementation, making one think that psql should be smart enough to
remember the output format options defined from the time when \g or \gx
were executed. Doing so would lead to more code complications when
retrieving a batch of results. There is an extra argument other than
simplicity here: the output format options defined at the point of a
\getresults or a \endpipeline execution should be what affect the output
format for a batch of results.
To avoid any confusion, we have settled to the introduction of a new
meta-command called \sendpipeline, replacing \g when within a pipeline.
An advantage of this design is that it is possible to add new options
specific to pipelines when sending a query buffer, independent of \g
and \gx, should it prove to be necessary.
Most of the changes of this commit happen in the regression tests, where
\g is replaced by \sendpipeline. More tests are added to check that \g
is not allowed.

aio: Add core asynchronous I/O infrastructure
The main motivations to use AIO in PostgreSQL are:
a) Reduce the time spent waiting for IO by issuing IO sufficiently early.
In a few places we have approximated this using posix_fadvise() based
prefetching, but that is fairly limited (no completion feedback, double the
syscalls, only works with buffered IO, only works on some OSs).
b) Allow to use Direct-I/O (DIO).
DIO can offload most of the work for IO to hardware and thus increase
throughput / decrease CPU utilization, as well as reduce latency. While we
have gained the ability to configure DIO in
d4e71df6, it is not yet usable
for real world workloads, as every IO is executed synchronously.
For portability, the new AIO infrastructure allows to implement AIO using
different methods. The choice of the AIO method is controlled by the new
io_method GUC. As of this commit, the only implemented method is "sync",
i.e. AIO is not actually executed asynchronously. The "sync" method exists to
allow to bypass most of the new code initially.
Subsequent commits will introduce additional IO methods, including a
cross-platform method implemented using worker processes and a linux specific
method using io_uring.
To allow different parts of postgres to use AIO, the core AIO infrastructure
does not need to know what kind of files it is operating on. The necessary
behavioral differences for different files are abstracted as "AIO
Targets". One example target would be smgr. For boring portability reasons,
all targets currently need to be added to an array in aio_target.c. This
commit does not implement any AIO targets, just the infrastructure for
them. The smgr target will be added in a later commit.
Completion (and other events) of IOs for one type of file (i.e. one AIO
target) need to be reacted to differently, based on the IO operation and the
callsite. This is made possible by callbacks that can be registered on
IOs. E.g. an smgr read into a local buffer does not need to update the
corresponding BufferDesc (as there is none), but a read into shared buffers
does. This commit does not contain any callbacks, they will be added in
subsequent commits.
For now the AIO infrastructure only understands READV and WRITEV operations,
but it is expected that more operations will be added. E.g. fsync/fdatasync,
flush_range and network operations like send/recv.
As of this commit, nothing uses the AIO infrastructure. Later commits will add
an smgr target, md.c and bufmgr.c callbacks and then finally use AIO for
read_stream.c IO, which, in one fell swoop, will convert all read stream users
to AIO.
The goal is to use AIO in many more places. There are patches to use AIO for
checkpointer and bgwriter that are reasonably close to being ready. There also
are prototypes to use it for WAL, relation extension, backend writes and many
more. Those prototypes were important to ensure the design of the AIO
subsystem is not too limiting (e.g. WAL writes need to happen in critical
sections, which influenced a lot of the design).
A future commit will add an AIO README explaining the AIO architecture and how
to use the AIO subsystem. The README is added later, as it references details
only added in later commits.
Many many more people than the folks named below have contributed with
feedback, work on semi-independent patches etc. E.g. various folks have
contributed patches to use the read stream infrastructure (added by Thomas in
b5a9b18cd0b) in more places. Similarly, a *lot* of folks have contributed to
the CI infrastructure, which I had started to work on to make adding AIO
feasible.
Some of the work by contributors has gone into the "v1" prototype of AIO,
which heavily influenced the current design of the AIO subsystem. None of the
code from that directly survives, but without the prototype, the current
version of the AIO infrastructure would not exist.
Similarly, the reviewers below have not necessarily looked at the current
design or the whole infrastructure, but have provided very valuable input. I
am to blame for problems, not they.

pg_combinebackup: Add -k, --link option.
This is similar to pg_upgrade's --link option, except that here we won't
typically be able to use it for every input file: sometimes we will need
to reconstruct a complete backup from blocks stored in different files.
However, when a whole file does need to be copied, we can use an
optimized copying strategy: see the existing --clone and
--copy-file-range options and the code to use CopyFile() on Windows.
This commit adds a new strategy: add a hard link to an existing file.
Making a hard link doesn't actually copy anything, but it makes sense
for the code to treat it as doing so.
This is useful when the input directories are merely staging directories
that will be removed once the restore is complete. In such cases, there
is no need to actually copy the data, and making a bunch of new hard
links can be very quick. However, it would be quite dangerous to use it
if the input directories might later be reused for any other purpose,
since starting postgres on the output directory would destructively
modify the input directories. For that reason, using this new option
causes pg_combinebackup to emit a warning about the danger involved.

Revert "Add redo LSN to pgstats files"
This reverts commit
b860848232aa, that was added as a prerequisite for
the support of pgstats data flush across checkpoints, linking a pgstats
file to a specific checkpoint redo LSN.
As reported, this is proving to be currently problematic when going
through a pg_upgrade, that does direct manipulations of the control file
in the new cluster. The LSN stored in the pgstats file is not able to
cope with any changes done in the control file by pg_upgrade yet,
causing the pgstats file to be discarded when starting the new cluster
after overriding its redo LSN (one is a `pg_resetwal -l` where the new
cluster's start LSN is bumped by a hardcoded value of 8 segments, see
copy_xact_xlog_xid).
The least painful path going forward is likely going to be a refactor of
the pgstats code so as it is possible to read and write some of its data
with some routines in src/common/, so as pg_upgrade or pg_resetwal are
able to update its data. The main point is that we are going to need a
LSN in the stats file should we make it written at checkpoint time and
not only as part of a shutdown sequence. It is too late to dive into
these details for v18, so let's revert the change, and let's try to
figure out all the details in the next release cycle. The pgstats file
is currently only written as part of a shutdown sequence, and its
contents are still lost on crash, same as older releases.

localbuf: Fix dangerous coding pattern in GetLocalVictimBuffer()
If PinLocalBuffer() were to modify the buf_state, the buf_state in
GetLocalVictimBuffer() would be out of date. Currently that does not happen,
as PinLocalBuffer() only modifies the buf_state if adjust_usagecount=true and
GetLocalVictimBuffer() passes false.

The minimal fix would be to just refetch the buf_state after after calling
PinLocalBuffer(), but the same danger exists in later parts of the

Simplify distance heuristics in read_stream.c.
Make the distance control heuristics simpler and more aggressive in
preparation for asynchronous I/O.
The v17 version of read_stream.c made a conservative choice to limit the
look-ahead distance when streaming sequential blocks, because it
couldn't benefit very much from looking ahead further yet. It had a
three-behavior model where only random I/O would rapidly increase the
look-ahead distance, to support read-ahead advice. Sequential I/O would
move it towards the io_combine_limit setting, just enough to build one
full-sized synchronous I/O at a time, and then expect kernel read-ahead
to avoid I/O stalls.
That already left I/O performance on the table with advice-based I/O
concurrency, since sequential blocks could be followed by random jumps,
eg with the proposed streaming Bitmap Heap Scan patch.
It is time to delete the cautious middle option and adjust the distance
based on recent I/O needs only, since asynchronous reads will need to be
started ahead of time whether random or sequential. It is still limited
by io_combine_limit, *_io_concurrency, buffer availability and
strategy ring size, as before.

Improve read_stream.c advice for dense streams.
read_stream.c tries not to issue read-ahead advice when it thinks the
kernel's own read-ahead should be active, ie when using buffered I/O and
reading sequential blocks. It previously gave up too easily, and issued
advice only for the first read of up to io_combine_limit blocks in a
larger range of sequential blocks after random jump. The following read
could suffer an avoidable I/O stall.
Fix, by continuing to issue advice until the corresponding preadv()
calls catch up with the start of the region we're currently issuing
advice for, if ever. That's when the kernel actually sees the
sequential pattern. Advice is now disabled only when the stream is
entirely sequential as far as we can see in the look-ahead window, or
in other words, when a sequential region is larger than we can cover
with the current io_concurrency and io_combine_limit settings.
While refactoring the advice control logic, also get rid of the
"suppress_advice" argument that was passed around between functions to
skip useless posix_fadvise() calls immediately followed by preadv().
read_stream_start_pending_read() can figure that out, so let's
concentrate knowledge of advice heuristics in fewer places (our goal
being to make advice-based I/O concurrency a legacy mode soon).

Fix ARRAY_SUBLINK and ARRAY[] for int2vector and oidvector input.
If the given input_type yields valid results from both
get_element_type and get_array_type, initArrayResultAny believed the
former and treated the input as an array type. However this is
inconsistent with what get_promoted_array_type does, leading to
situations where the output of an ARRAY() subquery is labeled with
the wrong type: it's labeled as oidvector[] but is really a 2-D
array of OID. That at least results in strange output, and can
result in crashes if further processing such as unnest() is applied.
AFAIK this is only possible with the int2vector and oidvector
types, which are special-cased to be treated mostly as true arrays
even though they aren't quite.
Fix by switching the logic to match get_promoted_array_type by
testing get_array_type not get_element_type, and remove an Assert
thereby made pointless. (We need not introduce a symmetrical
check for get_element_type in the other if-branch, because
initArrayResultArr will check it.) This restores the behavior
that existed before
bac27394a introduced initArrayResultAny:
the output really is int2vector[] or oidvector[].
Comparable confusion exists when an input of an ARRAY[] construct
is int2vector or oidvector: transformArrayExpr decides it's dealing
with a multidimensional array constructor, and we end up with
something that's a multidimensional OID array but is alleged to be
of type oidvector. I have not found a crashing case here, but it's
easy to demonstrate totally-wrong results. Adjust that code so
that what you get is an oidvector[] instead, for consistency with
ARRAY() subqueries. (This change also makes these types work like
domains-over-arrays in this context, which seems correct.)

Also rename the macro to "pg_noreturn" to be similar to the C11

pg_noreturn is now supported on all compilers that support C11 (using
_Noreturn), as well as GCC-compatible ones (using __attribute__, as

Now, all supported compilers effectively support pg_noreturn, so the

This also fixes a possible problem if third-party code includes

Note that the C standard does not support a noreturn attribute on

from merging them into the surrounding expressions after subquery
pullup, which could otherwise lead to failing to match those
subexpressions to grouping set columns, with the effect that they'd
not go to null when expected.
However, that left some loose ends. If the subquery's target list
contains two or more identical Var expressions, we can still fail to
match the Var expression to the expected grouping set expression.
This is not related to const-simplification, but rather to how we
match expressions to lower target items in setrefs.c.
For sort/group expressions, we use ressortgroupref matching, which
works well. For other expressions, we primarily rely on comparing the
expressions to determine if they are the same. Therefore, we need a
way to prevent setrefs.c from matching the expression to some other
identical ones.
To fix, wrap all subquery outputs in PlaceHolderVars if the parent
query uses grouping sets, ensuring that they preserve their separate
identity throughout the whole planning process.

Remove code setting wrap_non_vars to true for UNION ALL subqueries
In pull_up_simple_subquery and pull_up_constant_function, there is
code that sets wrap_non_vars to true when dealing with an appendrel
member. The goal is to wrap subquery outputs that are not simple Vars
in PlaceHolderVars, ensuring that what we pull up doesn't get merged
into a surrounding expression during later processing, which could
cause it to fail to match the expression actually available from the
appendrel.
However, this is unnecessary. When pulling up an appendrel child
subquery, the only part of the upper query that could reference the
appendrel child yet is the translated_vars list of the associated
AppendRelInfo that we just made for this child. Furthermore, we do
not want to force use of PHVs in the AppendRelInfo, as there is no
outer join between. In fact, perform_pullup_replace_vars always sets
wrap_non_vars to false before performing pullup_replace_vars on the
AppendRelInfo.
This patch simply removes the code that sets wrap_non_vars to true for
UNION ALL subqueries.

Avoid invalidating all RelationSyncCache entries on publication rename.
On Publication rename, we need to only invalidate the RelationSyncCache
entries corresponding to relations that are part of the publication being
renamed.
As part of this patch, we introduce a new invalidation message to
invalidate the cache maintained by the logical decoding output plugin. We
can't use existing relcache invalidation for this purpose, as that would
unnecessarily cause relcache invalidations in other backends.
This will improve performance by building fewer relation cache entries

Fix read_stream.c for changing io_combine_limit.
In a couple of places, read_stream.c assumed that io_combine_limit would
be stable during the lifetime of a stream. That is not true in at least
one unusual case: streams held by CURSORs where you could change the GUC
between FETCH commands, with unpredictable results.
Fix, by storing stream->io_combine_limit and referring only to that
after construction. This mirrors the treatment of the other important
setting {effective,maintenance}_io_concurrency, which is stored in
stream->max_ios.
One of the cases was the queue overflow space, which was sized for
io_combine_limit and could be overrun if the GUC was increased. Since
that coding was a little hard to follow, also introduce a variable for
better readability instead of open-coding the arithmetic. Doing so
revealed an off-by-one thinko while clamping max_pinned_buffers to
INT16_MAX, though that wasn't a live bug due to the current limits on
GUC values.

Fix copy-paste error in datum_to_jsonb_internal()

to reject inputs that were casts (e.g., from an enum to json as in the

This led to a crash in cases like:
SELECT JSON_OBJECT('happy'::mood: '123'::jsonb);
where 'happy'::mood is implicitly cast to json. The missing check
meant such casted values weren’t properly rejected as invalid

regressions.
Experimentation on high latency cloud storage as well as fast, local
nvme storage (see Discussion link) shows that even slightly higher
values improve query timings substantially. 1 actually performs worse
than 0 [2]. With effective_io_concurrency 1, we are not prefetching
enough to avoid I/O stalls, but we are issuing extra syscalls.
The new default is 16, which should be more appropriate for common

Build whole-row Vars the same way during parsing and planning.
makeWholeRowVar() has different rules for constructing a
whole-row Var depending on the kind of RTE it's representing.
This turns out to be problematic because the rewriter and planner
can convert view RTEs and set-returning-function RTEs into
subquery RTEs; so a whole-row Var made during planning might
look different from one made by the parser. In isolation this
doesn't cause any problem, but if a query contains Vars made
both ways for the same varno, there are cross-checks in the
executor that will complain. This manifests for UPDATE, DELETE,
and MERGE queries that use whole-row table references.
To fix, we need makeWholeRowVar() to produce the same result
from an inlined RTE as it would have for the original. For
an inlined view, we can use RangeTblEntry.relid to detect
that this had been a view RTE. For inlined SRFs, make a
data structure definition change akin to commit
47bb9db75,
and say that we won't clear RangeTblEntry.functions until
the end of planning. That allows makeWholeRowVar() to
repeat what it would have done with the unmodified RTE.
