Avoid VACUUM reltuples distortion.
Add a heuristic that avoids distortion in the pg_class.reltuples
estimates used by VACUUM. Without the heuristic, successive manually
run VACUUM commands (run against a table that is never modified after
initial bulk loading) will scan the same page in each VACUUM operation.
Eventually pg_class.reltuples may reach the point where one single heap
page is accidentally considered highly representative of the entire
table. This is likely to be completely wrong, since the last heap page
typically has fewer tuples than average for the table.
It's not obvious that this was a problem prior to commit
44fa8488, which
made vacuumlazy.c consistently scan the last heap page (even when it is
all-visible in the visibility map). It seems possible that there were
more subtle variants of the same problem that went unnoticed for quite
some time, though. Commit
44fa8488 simplified certain aspects of when
and how relation truncation was considered, but it did not introduce the
"scan the last page" behavior. Essentially the same behavior was
introduced much earlier, in commit
e8429082. It was conditioned on
whether or not truncation looked promising towards the end of the
initial heap pass by VACUUM until recently, which was at least somewhat
protective. That doesn't seem like something that we should be relying
on, though.

Add TAP test to automate the equivalent of check_guc, take two
src/backend/utils/misc/check_guc is a script that cross-checks the
consistency of the GUCs with postgresql.conf.sample, making sure that
its format is in line with what guc.c has. It has never been run
automatically, and has rotten over the years, creating a lot of false
positives as per a report from Justin Pryzby.
d10e41d has introduced a SQL function to publish the most relevant flags
associated to a GUC, with tests added in the main regression test suite
to make sure that we avoid most of the inconsistencies in the GUC
settings, based on recent reports, but there was nothing able to
cross-check postgresql.conf.sample with the contents of guc.c.
This commit adds a TAP test that covers the remaining gap. It emulates
the most relevant checks that check_guc did, so as any format mistakes
are detected in postgresql.conf.sample at development stage, with the
following checks:
- Check that parameters marked as NOT_IN_SAMPLE are not in the sample
file.
- Check that there are no dead entries in postgresql.conf.sample for
parameters not marked as NOT_IN_SAMPLE.
- Check that no parameters are missing from the sample file if listed in
guc.c without NOT_IN_SAMPLE.
The idea of building a list of the GUCs by parsing the sample file comes
from Justin, and he wrote the regex used in the patch to find all the
GUCs (this same formatting rule basically applies for the last 20~ years
or so). In order to test this patch, I have played with manual
modifications of postgresql.conf.sample and guc.c, making sure that we
detect problems with the GUC rules and the sample file format.
The test is located in src/test/modules/test_misc, which is the best
location I could think about for such sanity checks, rather than the
main regression test suite (src/test/regress) to avoid a new type of
dependency with the source tree.
The first attempt of this patch was
b0a55f4, where the location of
postgresql.conf.sample was retrieved using pg_config --sharedir. This
has proven to be an issue for distributions that patch pg_config to
enforce the installation paths at some wanted location (like Debian),
that may not exist when the test is run, hence causing a failure.
Instead of that, as per a suggestion from Andres Freund, rely on the
fact that the test is always executed from its directory in the source
tree and use a relative path to find the sample file. This works for
the CI, VPATH builds and on Windows, and tests like the recovery one
added in
f47ed79 rely on that already.

Fix race condition in 028_pitr_timelines.pl test, add note to docs.
The 028_pitr_timelines.pl test would sometimes hang, waiting for a WAL
segment that was just filled up to be archived. It was because the
test used 'pg_stat_archiver.last_archived_wal' to check if a file was
archived, but the order that WAL files are archived when a standby is
promoted is not fully deterministic, and 'last_archived_wal' tracks
the last segment that was archived, not the highest-numbered WAL
segment. Because of that, if the archiver archived segment 3, and then
2, 'last_archived_wal' say 2, and the test query would think that 3
has not been archived yet.
Normally, WAL files are marked ready for archival in order, and the
archiver process will process them in order, so that issue doesn't
arise. We have used the same query on 'last_archived_wal' in a few
other tests with no problem. But when a standby is promoted, things
are a bit chaotic. After promotion, the server will try to archive all
the WAL segments from the old timeline that are in pg_wal, as well as
the history file and any new WAL segments on the new timeline. The
end-of-recovery checkpoint will create the .ready files for all the
WAL files on the old timeline, but at the same time, the new timeline
is opened up for business. A file from the new timeline can therefore
be archived before the files from the old timeline have been marked as
ready for archival.
It turns out that we don't really need to wait for the archival in
this particular test, because the standby server is about to be
stopped, and stopping a server will wait for the end-of-recovery
checkpoint and all WAL archivals to finish, anyway. So we can just
remove it from the test.
Add a note to the docs on 'pg_stat_archiver' view that files can be
archived out of order.

subsystem was already shut down.
To fix this problem, move replication slot release to a before_shmem_exit()
hook that is called before the stats collector shuts down. There wasn't really
a good reason for the slot handling to be in ProcKill() anyway.
Patch by Masahiko Sawada, with very minor polishing by me.
I, Andres, wrote a test for dropping slots during process exit, but there may
be some OS dependent issues around the number of times FATAL error messages
are displayed due to a still debated libpq issue. So that test will be
committed separately / later.

Move libpq's write_failed mechanism down to pqsecure_raw_write().
Commit
1f39a1c06 implemented write-failure postponement in pqSendSome,
which is above SSL/GSS processing. However, we've now seen failures
indicating that (some versions of?) OpenSSL have a tendency to report
write failures prematurely too. Hence, move the primary responsibility
for postponing write failures down to pqsecure_raw_write(), below
SSL/GSS processing. pqSendSome now sets write_failed only in corner
cases where we'd lost the connection already.
A side-effect of this change is that errors detected in the SSL/GSS
layer itself will be reported immediately (as if they were read
errors) rather than being postponed like write errors. That's
reverting an effect of
1f39a1c06, and I think it's fine: if there's
not a socket-level error, it's hard to be sure whether an OpenSSL
error ought to be considered a read or write failure anyway.
Another important point is that write-failure postponement is now
effective during connection setup. OpenSSL's misbehavior of this
sort occurs during SSL_connect(), so that's a change we want.

Fix thinko in PQisBusy().
In commit
1f39a1c06 I made PQisBusy consider conn->write_failed, but
that is now looking like complete brain fade. In the first place, the
logic is quite wrong: it ought to be like "and not" rather than "or".
This meant that once we'd gotten into a write_failed state, PQisBusy
would always return true, probably causing the calling application to
iterate its loop until PQconsumeInput returns a hard failure thanks
to connection loss. That's not what we want: the intended behavior
is to return an error PGresult, which the application probably has
much cleaner support for.
But in the second place, checking write_failed here seems like the
wrong thing anyway. The idea of the write_failed mechanism is to
postpone handling of a write failure until we've read all we can from
the server; so that flag should not interfere with input-processing
behavior. (Compare
7247e243a.) What we *should* check for is
status = CONNECTION_BAD, ie, socket already closed. (Most places that
close the socket don't touch asyncStatus, but they do reset status.)
This primarily ensures that if PQisBusy() returns true then there is
an open socket, which is assumed by several call sites in our own
code, and probably other applications too.
While at it, fix a nearby thinko in libpq's my_sock_write: we should
only consult errno for res < 0, not res == 0. This is harmless since
pqsecure_raw_write would force errno to zero in such a case, but it
still could confuse readers.

This reverts commit
b0a55f4, to remove for now the TAP test that did the
equivalent of check_guc. The test has been using pg_config --sharedir
to find the location of postgresql.conf.sample. While the buildfarm and

for Debian where pg_config is patched to not be relocatable, causing the
test to fail.
Rather than relying on pg_config, we'd better find the sample file based
on its location from the source directory. However, this is also an
issue as a TAP test only offers the build directory as of TESTDIR in the
environment context, so this would fail with VPATH builds. Perhaps the
source path could be provided additionally when running the TAP tests.
Or perhaps we may be able to get away by just switching to a SQL
approach, by using PG_ABS_SRCDIR but this is going to require some extra

Add VACUUM instrumentation for scanned pages, relfrozenxid.
Report on scanned pages within VACUUM VERBOSE and autovacuum logging.
These are pages that were physically examined during the VACUUM
operation. Note that this can include a small number of pages that were
marked all-visible in the visibility map by some earlier VACUUM
operation. VACUUM won't skip all-visible pages that aren't part of a
range of all-visible pages that's at least 32 blocks in length (partly
to avoid missing out on opportunities to advance relfrozenxid during
non-aggressive VACUUMs).
Commit
44fa8488 simplified the definition of scanned pages. It became
the complement of the pages (of those pages from rel_pages) that were
skipped using the visibility map. And so scanned pages precisely
indicates how effective the visibility map was at saving work. (Before
now we displayed the number of pages skipped via the visibility map when
happened to be frozen pages, but not when they were merely all-visible,
which was less useful to users.)
Rename the user-visible OldestXmin output field to "removal cutoff", and
show some supplementary information: how far behind the cutoff is
(number of XIDs behind) by the time the VACUUM operation finished. This
will help users to figure out what's _not_ working in extreme cases
where VACUUM is fundamentally unable to remove dead tuples or freeze
older tuples (e.g., due to a leaked replication slot). Also report when
relfrozenxid is advanced by VACUUM in output that immediately follows
"removal cutoff". This structure is intended to highlight the
relationship between the new relfrozenxid value for the table, and the
VACUUM operation's removal cutoff.
Finally, add instrumentation of "missed dead tuples", and the number of
pages that had at least one such tuple. These are fully DEAD (not just
RECENTLY_DEAD) tuples with storage that could not be pruned due to
failure to acquire a cleanup lock on a heap page. This is a replacement
for the "skipped due to pin" instrumentation removed by commit
44fa8488.
It shows more details than before for pages where failing to get a
cleanup lock actually resulted in VACUUM missing out on useful work, but
usually shows nothing at all instead (the mere fact that we couldn't get
a cleanup lock is usually of no consequence whatsoever now).

VACUUM now does as much of the same processing as possible for pages
that could not be cleanup locked. Any failure to do specific required
processing is treated as a special case exception, which will be rare in
practice. We now collect any preexisting LP_DEAD items (left behind by
earlier opportunistic pruning) in the dead_items array for these heap
pages, and count their tuples in the usual way. Steps used to decide if
we'll attempt relation truncation are performed in the usual way for
no-cleanup-lock scanned pages, too.
Although eliminating these special cases is intrinsically useful, it's
even more useful as an enabler of further simplifications. The only
essential difference between aggressive and non-aggressive is that only
aggressive is _guaranteed_ to be able to advance relfrozenxid up to
FreezeLimit. Advancing relfrozenxid is always useful, but before now
non-aggressive VACUUMs threw away the opportunity to do so whenever a
cleanup lock could not be acquired on any page, no matter what the
details were. This was very pessimistic.
It isn't actually necessary to "behave aggressively" to maintain the
ability to advance relfrozenxid when a cleanup lock isn't immediately
available (most of the time). The non-aggressive case will now make
sure that it isn't safe to advance relfrozenxid (without waiting) using
only a share lock. It will usually notice that there are no tuples that
need to be frozen anyway, just like in the aggressive case -- and so it
no longer wastes an opportunity to advance relfrozenxid over nothing.
(The non-aggressive case still won't wait for a cleanup lock when there
really are tuples on the page that need to be frozen, since that really
would amount to "behaving aggressively".)
VACUUM currently has a tendency to set heap pages to all-visible in the
visibility map before it freezes all of the tuples on the page. Only a
subsequent aggressive VACUUM will visit these pages to freeze their
tuples, usually only when the tuple XIDs are much older than the
vacuum_freeze_min_age GUC (FreezeLimit cutoff) is supposed to allow.
And so non-aggressive VACUUMs are still far less likely to be able to
advance relfrozenxid in practice, even with the enhancements from this
commit. This remaining issue will be addressed by future work that
overhauls the criteria for freezing tuples. Once that's in place,
almost every VACUUM operation will be able to advance relfrozenxid in
practice.

Make pg_ctl stop/restart/promote recheck postmaster aliveness.
"pg_ctl stop/restart" checked that the postmaster PID is valid just
once, as a side-effect of sending the stop signal, and then would
wait-till-timeout for the postmaster.pid file to go away. This
neglects the case wherein the postmaster dies uncleanly after we
signal it. Similarly, once "pg_ctl promote" has sent the signal,
it'd wait for the corresponding on-disk state change to occur
even if the postmaster dies.
I'm not sure how we've managed not to notice this problem, but it
seems to explain slow execution of the 017_shm.pl test script on AIX
since commit
4fdbf9af5, which added a speculative "pg_ctl stop" with
the idea of making real sure that the postmaster isn't there. In the
test steps that kill-9 and then restart the postmaster, it's possible
to get past the initial signal attempt before kill() stops working
for the doomed postmaster. If that happens, pg_ctl waited till
PGCTLTIMEOUT before giving up ... and the buildfarm's AIX members
have that set very high.
To fix, include a "kill(pid, 0)" test (similar to what
postmaster_is_alive uses) in these wait loops, so that we'll
give up immediately if the postmaster PID disappears.
While here, I chose to refactor those loops out of where they were.
do_stop() and do_restart() can perfectly well share one copy of the
wait-for-stop loop, and it seems desirable to put a similar function
beside that for wait-for-promote.

Logical decoding of sequences
This extends the logical decoding to also decode sequence increments.
We differentiate between sequences created in the current (in-progress)
transaction, and sequences created earlier. This mixed behavior is
necessary because while sequences are not transactional (increments are
not subject to ROLLBACK), relfilenode changes are. So we do this:
* Changes for sequences created in the same top-level transaction are
treated as transactional, i.e. just like any other change from that
transaction, and discarded in case of a rollback.
* Changes for sequences created earlier are applied immediately, as if
performed outside any transaction. This applies also after ALTER
SEQUENCE, which may create a new relfilenode.
Moreover, if we ever get support for DDL replication, the sequence
won't exist until the transaction gets applied.
Sequences created in the current transaction are tracked in a simple
hash table, identified by a relfilenode. That means a sequence may
already exist, but if a transaction does ALTER SEQUENCE then the
increments for the new relfilenode will be treated as transactional.
For each relfilenode we track the XID of (sub)transaction that created
it, which is needed for cleanup at transaction end. We don't need to
check the XID to decide if an increment is transactional - if we find a
match in the hash table, it has to be the same transaction.
This requires two minor changes to WAL-logging. Firstly, we need to
ensure the sequence record has a valid XID - until now the the increment
might have XID 0 if it was the first change in a subxact. But the
sequence might have been created in the same top-level transaction. So
we ensure the XID is assigned when WAL-logging increments.
The other change is addition of "created" flag, marking increments for
newly created relfilenodes. This makes it easier to maintain the hash
table of sequences that need transactional handling.
Note: This is needed because of subxacts. A XID 0 might still have the
sequence created in a different subxact of the same top-level xact.
This does not include any changes to test_decoding and/or the built-in
replication - those will be committed in separate patches.
A patch adding decoding of sequences was originally submitted by Cary
Huang. This commit reworks various important aspects (e.g. the WAL
logging and transactional/non-transactional handling). However, the
original patch and reviews were very useful.

Make timeout.c more robust against missed timer interrupts.
Commit
09cf1d522 taught schedule_alarm() to not do anything if
the next requested event is after when we expect the next interrupt
to fire. However, if somehow an interrupt gets lost, we'll continue
to not do anything indefinitely, even after the "next interrupt" time
is obviously in the past. Thus, one missed interrupt can break
timeout scheduling for the life of the session. Michael Harris
reported a scenario where a bug in a user-defined function caused this
to happen, so you don't even need to assume kernel bugs exist to think
this is worth fixing. We can make things more robust at little cost
by detecting the case where signal_due_at is before "now" and forcing
a new setitimer call to occur. This isn't a completely bulletproof
fix of course; but in our typical usage pattern where we frequently set
timeouts and clear them before they are reached, the interrupt will
get re-enabled after at most one timeout interval, which with a little
luck will be before we really need it.
While here, let's mark signal_due_at as volatile, since the signal
handler can both examine and set it. I'm not sure there's any
actual risk given that signal_pending is already volatile, but
it's surely questionable.

its format is in line with what guc.c has. It has never been run

positives as per a report from Justin Pryzby.
d10e41d has introduced a SQL function to publish the most relevant flags

to make sure that we avoid most of the inconsistencies in the GUC
settings, based on recent reports, but there was nothing able to
cross-check postgresql.conf.sample with the contents of guc.c.
This commit adds a TAP test that covers the remaining gap. It emulates
the most relevant checks that check_guc does, so as any format mistakes
are detected in postgresql.conf.sample at development stage, with the
following checks:
- Check that parameters marked as NOT_IN_SAMPLE are not in the sample
file.
- Check that there are no dead entries in postgresql.conf.sample for
parameters not marked as NOT_IN_SAMPLE.
- Check that no parameters are missing from the sample file if listed in
guc.c without NOT_IN_SAMPLE.
The idea of building a list of the GUCs by parsing the sample file comes
from Justin, and he wrote the regex used in the patch to find all the
GUCs (this same formatting rule basically applies for the last 20~ years
or so). In order to test this patch, I have played with manual
modifications of postgresql.conf.sample and guc.c, making sure that we
detect problems with the GUC rules and the sample file format.

a file-level static, so that nobody can peak at it directly.

Rename create_function_N test scripts for clarity.
Rename create_function_0 to create_function_c, and create_function_3
to create_function_sql, to establish their charters more clearly.
This should also reduce confusion versus our underscore-digit
convention for naming variant expected-files.
I separated this from the previous commit on the premise that keeping
the renaming distinct might make "git blame" tracking easier.

Rearrange core regression tests to reduce cross-script dependencies.
The idea behind this patch is to make it possible to run individual
test scripts without running the entire core test suite. Making all
the scripts completely independent would involve a massive rewrite,
and would probably be worse for coverage of things like concurrent DDL.
So this patch just does what seems practical with limited changes.
The net effect is that any test script can be run after running
limited earlier dependencies:
* all scripts depend on test_setup
* many scripts depend on create_index
* other dependencies are few in number, and are documented in
the parallel_schedule file.
To accomplish this, I chose a small number of commonly-used tables
and moved their creation and filling into test_setup. Later scripts
are expected not to modify these tables' data contents, for fear of
affecting other scripts' results. Also, our former habit of declaring
all C functions in one place is now gone in favor of declaring them
where they're used, if that's just one script, or in test_setup if
necessary.
There's more that could be done to remove some of the remaining
inter-script dependencies, but significantly more-invasive changes
would be needed, and at least for now it doesn't seem worth it.

Add PostgreSQL::Test::Cluster::config_data()
This is useful to grab some configuration information from a node
already set up, and I personally found two cases for it: pg_upgrade and
a test to emulate check_guc.

Reduce non-leaf keys overlap in GiST indexes produced by a sorted build
The GiST sorted build currently chooses split points according to the only page
space utilization. That may lead to higher non-leaf keys overlap and, in turn,
slower search query answers.
This commit makes the sorted build use the opclass's picksplit method. Once
four pages at the level are accumulated, the picksplit method is applied until
each split partition fits the page. Some of our split algorithms could show
significant performance degradation while processing 4-times more data at once.
But those opclasses haven't received the sorted build support and shouldn't
receive it before their split algorithms are improved.

Add (void) cast in front of rmtree() call at the end of pg_upgrade
Most calls of rmtree() report an error, and the code coming from
38bfae3
has introduced one caller where this is not done. The previous behavior
was to not fail hard if any log file generated is not properly unlinked
when cleaning up the contents generated once the upgrade has completed,
so add a cast to (void) to indicate the intention behind this new code.
Per gripe from Coverity.

pg_upgrade: Move all the files generated internally to a subdirectory
Historically, the location of any files generated by pg_upgrade, as of
the per-database logs and internal dumps, has been the current working
directory, leaving all those files behind when using --retain or on a
failure.
Putting all those contents in a targeted subdirectory makes the whole
easier to debug, and simplifies the code in charge of cleaning up the
logs. Note that another reason is that this facilitates the move of
pg_upgrade to TAP with a fixed location for all the logs to grab if the
test fails repeatedly.
Initially, we thought about being able to specify the output directory
with a new option, but we have settled on using a subdirectory located
at the root of the new cluster's data folder, "pg_upgrade_output.d",
instead, as at the end the new data directory is the location of all the
data generated by pg_upgrade. There is a take with group permissions
here though: if the new data folder has been initialized with this
option, we need to create all the files and paths with the correct
permissions or a base backup taken after a pg_upgrade --retain would
fail, meaning that GetDataDirectoryCreatePerm() has to be called before
creating the log paths, before a couple of sanity checks on the clusters
and before getting the socket directory for the cluster's host settings.
The idea of the new location is based on a suggestion from Peter
Eisentraut.
