07daca53bf Fix inconsistencies in SRF checks of pg_config() and string_to_table()
The execution paths of those functions have been using a set of checks
inconsistent with any other SRF function:
- string_to_table() missed a check on expectedDesc, the tuple descriptor
expected by the caller, that should never be NULL.  Introduced in
66f1630.
- pg_config() should check for a ReturnSetInfo, and expectedDesc cannot
be NULL.  Its error messages were also inconsistent.  Introduced in
a5c43b8.

Extracted from a larger patch by the same author, in preparation for a
larger patch set aimed at refactoring the way tuplestores are created
and checked in SRF functions.

d61a361d1a Remove all traces of tuplestore_donestoring() in the C code
This routine is a no-op since dd04e95 from 2003, with a macro kept
around for compatibility purposes.  This has led to the same code
patterns being copy-pasted around for no effect, sometimes in confusing
ways like in pg_logical_slot_get_changes_guts() from logical.c where the
code was actually incorrect.

This issue has been discussed on two different threads recently, so
rather than living with this legacy, remove any uses of this routine in
the C code to simplify things.  The compatibility macro is kept to avoid
breaking any out-of-core modules that depend on it.

d37776e451 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.

Backpatch to v14 where this logic came in.

5ef1eefd76 Allow archiving via loadable modules.
Running a shell command for each file to be archived has a lot of
overhead and may not offer as much error checking as you want, or the
exact semantics that you want. So, offer the option to call a loadable

Also, add a 'basic_archive' contrib module as an example implementation
that archives to a local directory.

dc686681e0 Introduce log_destination=jsonlog
"jsonlog" is a new value that can be added to log_destination to provide
logs in the JSON format, with its output written to a file, making it
the third type of destination of this kind, after "stderr" and
"csvlog".  The format is convenient to feed logs to other applications.
There is also a plugin external to core that provided this feature using
the hook in elog.c, but this had to overwrite the output of "stderr" to
work, so being able to do both at the same time was not possible.  The
files generated by this log format are suffixed with ".json", and use
the same rotation policies as the other two formats depending on the
backend configuration.

This takes advantage of the refactoring work done previously in ac7c807,
bed6ed3, 8b76f89 and 2d77d83 for the backend parts, and 72b76f7 for the
TAP tests, making the addition of any new file-based format rather
straight-forward.

The documentation is updated to list all the keys and the values that
can exist in this new format.  pg_current_logfile() also required a
refresh for the new option.

inefficient and erroneous.  Perform the check in a more appropriate
spot, and be more careful about prefix-match cases.

EmitWarningsOnPlaceholders after doing so, to help catch misspellings.
Many of our contrib modules hadn't gotten the memo on that, though.

While these aren't really user-facing, they should illustrate good

3c6f8c011f Simplify the general-purpose 64-bit integer parsing APIs
pg_strtouint64() is a wrapper around strtoull/strtoul/_strtoui64, but
it seems no longer necessary to have this indirection.
msvc/Solution.pm claims HAVE_STRTOULL, so the "MSVC only" part seems
unnecessary.  Also, we have code in c.h to substitute alternatives for
strtoull() if not found, and that would appear to cover all currently
supported platforms, so having a further fallback in pg_strtouint64()
seems unnecessary.

Therefore, we could remove pg_strtouint64(), and use strtoull()
directly in all call sites.  However, it seems useful to keep a
separate notation for parsing exactly 64-bit integers, matching the
type definition int64/uint64.  For that, add new macros strtoi64() and
strtou64() in c.h as thin wrappers around strtol()/strtoul() or
strtoll()/stroull().  This makes these functions available everywhere
instead of just in the server code, and it makes the function naming
notably different from the pg_strtointNN() functions in numutils.c,
which have a different API.

64da07c41a Default to log_checkpoints=on, log_autovacuum_min_duration=10m
The idea here is that when a performance problem is known to have
occurred at a certain point in time, it's a good thing if there is
some information available from the logs to help figure out what
might have happened around that time.

This change attracted an above-average amount of dissent, because
it means that a server with default settings will produce some amount
of log output even if nothing has gone wrong. However, by my count,
the mailing list discussion had about twice as many people in favor
of the change as opposed. The reasons for believing that the extra
log output is not an issue in practice are: (1) the rate at which
messages can be generated by this setting is bounded to one every
few minutes on a properly-configured system and (2) production
systems tend to have a lot more junk in the log from that due to
failed connection attempts, ERROR messages generated by application
activity, and the like.

people commented on the thread, but as far as I can see that was
discussion of the merits of the change rather than review of the

For most of them, this removes the use of terms like "N seconds" or "N

75d22069e0 Warning on SET of nonexisting setting with a prefix reserved by an extension
An extension can already de facto reserve a GUC prefix using
EmitWarningsOnPlaceholders().  But this was only checked against
settings that exist at the time the extension is loaded (or the
extension chooses to call this).  No diagnostic is given when a SET
command later uses a nonexisting setting with a custom prefix.

With this change, EmitWarningsOnPlaceholders() saves the prefixes it
reserves in a list, and SET checks when it finds a "placeholder"
setting whether it belongs to a reserved prefix and issues a warning
in that case.

Add a regression test that checks the patch using the "plpgsql"
registered prefix.

3804539e48 Replace random(), pg_erand48(), etc with a better PRNG API and algorithm.
Standardize on xoroshiro128** as our basic PRNG algorithm, eliminating
a bunch of platform dependencies as well as fundamentally-obsolete PRNG
code.  In addition, this API replacement will ease replacing the
algorithm again in future, should that become necessary.

xoroshiro128** is a few percent slower than the drand48 family,
but it can produce full-width 64-bit random values not only 48-bit,
and it should be much more trustworthy.  It's likely to be noticeably
faster than the platform's random(), depending on which platform you
are thinking about; and we can have non-global state vectors easily,
unlike with random().  It is not cryptographically strong, but neither
are the functions it replaces.

9ce346eabf Report progress of startup operations that take a long time.
Users sometimes get concerned whe they start the server and it
emits a few messages and then doesn't emit any more messages for
a long time. Generally, what's happening is either that the
system is taking a long time to apply WAL, or it's taking a
long time to reset unlogged relations, or it's taking a long
time to fsync the data directory, but it's not easy to tell
which is the case.

To fix that, add a new 'log_startup_progress_interval' setting,
by default 10s. When an operation that is known to be potentially
long-running takes more than this amount of time, we'll log a
status update each time this interval elapses.

To avoid undesirable log chatter, don't log anything about WAL
replay when in standby mode.

43c1c4f65e Introduce GUC shared_memory_size_in_huge_pages
This runtime-computed GUC shows the number of huge pages required
for the server's main shared memory area, taking advantage of the
work done in 0c39c29 and 0bd305e.  This is useful for users to estimate
the amount of huge pages required for a server as it becomes possible to
do an estimation without having to start the server and potentially
allocate a large chunk of shared memory.

The number of huge pages is calculated based on the existing GUC
huge_page_size if set, or by using the system's default by looking at
/proc/meminfo on Linux.  There is nothing new here as this commit reuses
the existing calculation methods, and just exposes this information
directly to the user.  The routine calculating the huge page size is
refactored to limit the number of files with platform-specific flags.

This new GUC's name was the most popular choice based on the discussion
done.  This is only supported on Linux.

I have taken the time to test the change on Linux, Windows and MacOS,
though for the last two ones large pages are not supported.  The first
one calculates correctly the number of pages depending on the existing
GUC huge_page_size or the system's default.

0c39c29207 Support "postgres -C" with runtime-computed GUCs
Until now, the -C option of postgres was handled before a small subset
of GUCs computed at runtime are initialized, leading to incorrect
results as GUC machinery would fall back to default values for such
parameters.

For example, data_checksums could report "off" for a cluster as the
control file is not loaded yet.  Or wal_segment_size would show a
segment size at 16MB even if initdb --wal-segsize used something else.
Worse, the command would fail to properly report the recently-introduced
shared_memory, that requires to load shared_preload_libraries as these
could ask for a chunk of shared memory.

Support for runtime GUCs comes with a limitation, as the operation is
now allowed on a running server.  One notable reason for this is that
_PG_init() functions of loadable libraries are called before all
runtime-computed GUCs are initialized, and this is not guaranteed to be
safe to do on running servers.  For the case of shared_memory_size,
where we want to know how much memory would be used without allocating
it, this limitation is fine.  Another case where this will help is for
huge pages, with the introduction of a different GUC to evaluate the
amount of huge pages required for a server before starting it, without
having to allocate large chunks of memory.

This feature is controlled with a new GUC flag, and four parameters are
classified as runtime-computed as of this change:
- data_checksums
- shared_memory_size
- data_directory_mode
- wal_segment_size

Some TAP tests are added to provide some coverage here, using
data_checksums in the tests of pg_checksums.

Per discussion with Andres Freund, Justin Pryzby, Magnus Hagander and
more.

639a86e36a Remove Value node struct
The Value node struct is a weird construct.  It is its own node type,
but most of the time, it actually has a node type of Integer, Float,
String, or BitString.  As a consequence, the struct name and the node
type don't match most of the time, and so it has to be treated
specially a lot.  There doesn't seem to be any value in the special
construct.  There is very little code that wants to accept all Value
variants but nothing else (and even if it did, this doesn't provide
any convenient way to check it), and most code wants either just one
particular node type (usually String), or it accepts a broader set of
node types besides just Value.

This change removes the Value struct and node type and replaces them
by separate Integer, Float, String, and BitString node types that are
proper node types and structs of their own and behave mostly like
normal node types.

Also, this removes the T_Null node tag, which was previously also a
possible variant of Value but wasn't actually used outside of the
Value contained in A_Const.  Replace that by an isnull field in
A_Const.

f7bda63a48 Improve defaults shown in postgresql.conf.sample and pg_settings
Previously, these showed unlikely default values.  The new default value
128MB (since PG 10) is not always accurate since initdb tries several
increasing values, but it likely to be accurate.

93a0bf2390 Set pg_setting.pending_restart when pertinent config lines are removed
This changes the behavior of examining the pg_file_settings view after
changing a config option that requires restart.  The user needs to know
that any change of such options does not take effect until a restart,
and this worked correctly if the line is edited without removing it.
However, for the case where the line is removed altogether, the flag
doesn't get set, because a flag was only set in set_config_option, but
that's not called for lines removed.  Repair.

4035cd5d4e Add support for LZ4 with compression of full-page writes in WAL
The logic is implemented so as there can be a choice in the compression
used when building a WAL record, and an extra per-record bit is used to
track down if a block is compressed with PGLZ, LZ4 or nothing.

wal_compression, the existing parameter, is changed to an enum with
support for the following backward-compatible values:
- "off", the default, to not use compression.
- "pglz" or "on", to compress FPWs with PGLZ.
- "lz4", the new mode, to compress FPWs with LZ4.

Benchmarking has showed that LZ4 outclasses easily PGLZ.  ZSTD would be
also an interesting choice, but going just with LZ4 for now makes the
patch minimalistic as toast compression is already able to use LZ4, so
there is no need to worry about any build-related needs for this
implementation.

an admin following crash recovery when restarting the cluster is not so
appealing.

e6241d8e03 Rethink definition of pg_attribute.attcompression.
Redefine '\0' (InvalidCompressionMethod) as meaning "if we need to
compress, use the current setting of default_toast_compression".
This allows '\0' to be a suitable default choice regardless of
datatype, greatly simplifying code paths that initialize tupledescs
and the like.  It seems like a more user-friendly approach as well,
because now the default compression choice doesn't migrate into table
definitions, meaning that changing default_toast_compression is
usually sufficient to flip an installation's behavior; one needn't
tediously issue per-column ALTER SET COMPRESSION commands.

Along the way, fix a few minor bugs and documentation issues
with the per-column-compression feature.  Adopt more robust
APIs for SetIndexStorageProperties and GetAttributeCompression.

Bump catversion because typical contents of attcompression will now
be different.  We could get away without doing that, but it seems
better to ensure v14 installations all agree on this.  (We already
forced initdb for beta2, anyway.)

- huge_page_size (docs, as of 14~)
- max_logical_replication_workers (docs, as of 10~)
- max_sync_workers_per_subscription (docs, as of 10~)

- restart_after_crash (docs, as of 9.6~)
- ssl_min_protocol_version (docs, as of 12~)

cafde58b33 Allow compute_query_id to be set to 'auto' and make it default
Allowing only on/off meant that all either all existing configuration
guides would become obsolete if we disabled it by default, or that we
would have to accept a performance loss in the default config if we
enabled it by default.  By allowing 'auto' as a middle ground, the
performance cost is only paid by those who enable pg_stat_statements and
similar modules.

I only edited the release notes to comment-out a paragraph that is now
factually wrong; further edits are probably needed to describe the
related change in more detail.

1d257577: Optionally prefetch referenced data in recovery.
f003d9f8: Add circular WAL decoding buffer.

a55a98477b Sync guc.c and postgresql.conf.sample with the SGML docs.
It seems that various people have moved GUCs around in the config.sgml
listing without bothering to make the code agree.  Ensure that the
config_group codes assigned to GUCs match where they are listed in
config.sgml.  Likewise ensure that postgresql.conf.sample lists GUCs
in the same sub-section and same ordering as they appear in config.sgml.

(I've got some doubts about some of these choices, but for the purposes
of this patch, we'll treat config.sgml as gospel.)

Notably, this requires adding a WAL_RECOVERY config_group value,
because 1d257577e didn't.  As long as we're renumbering that enum
anyway, let's take out the values corresponding to major groups
that are divided into sub-groups.  No GUC should be assigned to the
major group itself, so those values just create a temptation to
do the wrong thing, while adding work for translators.

In passing, adjust the short_desc strings for PRESET_OPTIONS GUCs
to uniformly use the phrasing "Shows XYZ.", removing the impression
some of these strings left that you can set the value.

While some of these errors are old, no back-patch, as changing the
contents of the pg_settings view in stable branches seems more likely
to be seen as a compatibility break than anything helpful.
