Because the code path taken for SQL commands executed in a walsender
will update the process title, we pretty much have to update the
title for replication commands as well. Otherwise, the title shows
"idle" for the rest of a logical walsender's lifetime once it's
executed any SQL command.
Playing with this, I confirm that a walsender now typically spends
most of its life reporting
walsender postgres [local] START_REPLICATION
Considering this in isolation, it might be better to have it say
walsender postgres [local] sending replication data
However, consistency with the other cases seems to be a stronger
argument.
In passing, remove duplicative pgstat_report_activity call.

Since commit fd5942c18f (2012, 9.3-era), walsender has been sending
completion tags for certain replication commands twice -- and they're
not even consistent. Apparently neither libpq nor JDBC have a problem
with it, but it's not kosher. Fix by remove the EndCommand() call in
the common code path for them all, and inserting specific calls to
EndReplicationCommand() specifically in those places where it's needed.
EndReplicationCommand() is a new simple function to send the completion
tag for replication commands. Do this instead of sending a generic
SELECT completion tag for them all, which was also pretty bogus (if
innocuous). While at it, change StartReplication() to use
EndReplicationCommand() instead of pg_puttextmessage().
In commit 2f9661311b, I failed to realize that replication commands
are not close-enough kin of regular SQL commands, so the
DROP_REPLICATION_SLOT tag I added is undeserved and a type pun. Take it
out.
Backpatch to 13, where the latter commit appeared. The duplicate tag
has been sent since 9.3, but since nothing is broken, it doesn't seem
worth fixing.

We decided that the policy established in commit 7634bd4f6 for
the bgwriter, checkpointer, walwriter, and walreceiver processes,
namely that they should accept SIGQUIT at all times, really ought
to apply uniformly to all postmaster children. Therefore, get
rid of the duplicative and inconsistent per-process code for
establishing that signal handler and removing SIGQUIT from BlockSig.
Instead, make InitPostmasterChild do it.
The handler set up by InitPostmasterChild is SignalHandlerForCrashExit,
which just summarily does _exit(2). In interactive backends, we
almost immediately replace that with quickdie, since we would prefer
to try to tell the client that we're dying. However, this patch is
changing the behavior of autovacuum (both launcher and workers), as
well as walsenders. Those processes formerly also used quickdie,
but AFAICS that was just mindless copy-and-paste: they don't have
any interactive client that's likely to benefit from being told this.
The stats collector continues to be an outlier, in that it thinks
SIGQUIT means normal exit. That should probably be changed for
consistency, but there's another patch set where that's being
dealt with, so I didn't do so here.

Since there is only one place that actually needs the partition check
expression, namely ExecPartitionCheck, it's better to fetch it from
the relcache there. In this way we will never fetch it at all if
the query never has use for it, and we still fetch it just once when
we do need it.
The reason for taking an interest in this is that if the relcache
doesn't already have the check expression cached, fetching it
requires obtaining AccessShareLock on the partition root. That
means that operations that look like they should only touch the
partition itself will also take a lock on the root. In particular
we observed that TRUNCATE on a partition may take a lock on the
partition's root, contributing to a deadlock situation in parallel
pg_restore.
As written, this patch does have a small cost, which is that we
are microscopically reducing efficiency for the case where a partition
has an empty check expression. ExecPartitionCheck will be called,
and will go through the motions of setting up and checking an empty
qual, where before it would not have been called at all. We could
avoid that by adding a separate boolean flag to track whether there
is a partition expression to test. However, this case only arises
for a default partition with no siblings, which surely is not an
interesting case in practice. Hence adding complexity for it
does not seem like a good trade-off.

The code recorded cache invalidation events by zeroing the "localreloid"
field of affected cache entries. However, it's possible for an inval
event to occur even while we have the entry open and locked. So an
ill-timed inval could result in "cache lookup failed for relation 0"
errors, if the worker's code tried to use the cleared field. We can
fix that by creating a separate bool field to record whether the entry
needs to be revalidated. (In the back branches, cram the bool into
what had been padding space, to avoid an ABI break in the somewhat
unlikely event that any extension is looking at this struct.)
Also, rearrange the logic in logicalrep_rel_open so that it
does the right thing in cases where table_open would fail.
We should retry the lookup by name in that case, but we didn't.
The real-world impact of this is probably small. In the first place,
the error conditions are very low probability, and in the second place,
the worker would just exit and get restarted. We only noticed because
in a CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS build, the failure can occur repeatedly,
preventing the worker from making progress. Nonetheless, it's clearly
a bug, and it impedes a useful type of testing; so back-patch to v10
where this code was introduced.

In commit 464824323e, for each RelationSyncEntry we maintained the list
of xids (streamed_txns) for which we have already sent the schema. This
helps us to track when to send the schema to the downstream node for
replication of streaming transactions. Before this list got initialized,
we were processing invalidation messages which access this list and led
to an assertion failure.
In passing, clean up the nearby code:
* Initialize the list of xids with NIL instead of NULL which is our usual
coding practice.
* Remove the MemoryContext switch for creating a RelationSyncEntry in dynahash.

A walsender process that has executed a SQL command left the text of
that command in pg_stat_activity.query indefinitely, which is quite
confusing if it's in RUNNING state but not doing that query. An easy
and useful fix is to treat replication commands as if they were SQL
queries, and show them in pg_stat_activity according to the same rules
as for regular queries. While we're at it, it seems also sensible to
set debug_query_string, allowing error logging and debugging to see
the replication command.
While here, clean up assorted silliness in exec_replication_command:
* The SQLCmd path failed to restore CurrentMemoryContext to the caller's
value, and failed to delete the temp context created in this routine.
It's only through great good fortune that these oversights did not
result in long-term memory leaks or other problems. It seems cleaner
to code SQLCmd as a separate early-exit path, so do it like that.
* Remove useless duplicate call of SnapBuildClearExportedSnapshot().

The bgwriter, checkpointer, walwriter, and walreceiver processes
claimed to allow SIGQUIT "at all times". In reality SIGQUIT
would get re-blocked during error recovery, because we didn't
update the actual signal mask immediately, so sigsetjmp() would
save and reinstate a mask that includes SIGQUIT.
This appears to be simply a coding oversight. There's never a
good reason to hold off SIGQUIT in these processes, because it's
going to just call _exit(2) which should be safe enough, especially
since the postmaster is going to tear down shared memory afterwards.
Hence, stick in PG_SETMASK() calls to install the modified BlockSig
mask immediately.
Also try to improve the comments around sigsetjmp blocks. Most of
them were just referencing postgres.c, which is misleading because
actually postgres.c manages the signals differently.
No back-patch, since there's no evidence that this is causing any
problems in the field.

To add support for streaming of in-progress transactions into the
built-in logical replication, we need to do three things:
* Extend the logical replication protocol, so identify in-progress
transactions, and allow adding additional bits of information (e.g.
XID of subtransactions).
* Modify the output plugin (pgoutput) to implement the new stream
API callbacks, by leveraging the extended replication protocol.
* Modify the replication apply worker, to properly handle streamed
in-progress transaction by spilling the data to disk and then
replaying them on commit.
We however must explicitly disable streaming replication during
replication slot creation, even if the plugin supports it. We
don't need to replicate the changes accumulated during this phase,
and moreover we don't have a replication connection open so we
don't have where to send the data anyway.

Previous commits made it faster/more scalable to compute snapshots. But not
building a snapshot is still faster. Now that GetSnapshotData() does not
maintain RecentGlobal* anymore, that is actually not too hard:
This commit introduces xactCompletionCount, which tracks the number of
top-level transactions with xids (i.e. which may have modified the database)
that completed in some form since the start of the server.
We can avoid rebuilding the snapshot's contents whenever the current
xactCompletionCount is the same as it was when the snapshot was
originally built. Currently this check happens while holding
ProcArrayLock. While it's likely possible to perform the check without
acquiring ProcArrayLock, it seems better to do that separately /
later, some careful analysis is required. Even with the lock this is a
significant win on its own.
On a smaller two socket machine this gains another ~1.03x, on a larger
machine the effect is roughly double (earlier patch version tested
though). If we were able to safely avoid the lock there'd be another
significant gain on top of that.

To make GetSnapshotData() more scalable, it cannot not look at at each proc's
xmin: While snapshot contents do not need to change whenever a read-only
transaction commits or a snapshot is released, a proc's xmin is modified in
those cases. The frequency of xmin modifications leads to, particularly on
higher core count systems, many cache misses inside GetSnapshotData(), despite
the data underlying a snapshot not changing. That is the most
significant source of GetSnapshotData() scaling poorly on larger systems.
Without accessing xmins, GetSnapshotData() cannot calculate accurate horizons /
thresholds as it has so far. But we don't really have to: The horizons don't
actually change that much between GetSnapshotData() calls. Nor are the horizons
actually used every time a snapshot is built.
The trick this commit introduces is to delay computation of accurate horizons
until there use and using horizon boundaries to determine whether accurate
horizons need to be computed.
The use of RecentGlobal[Data]Xmin to decide whether a row version could be
removed has been replaces with new GlobalVisTest* functions. These use two
thresholds to determine whether a row can be pruned:
1) definitely_needed, indicating that rows deleted by XIDs >= definitely_needed
are definitely still visible.
2) maybe_needed, indicating that rows deleted by XIDs < maybe_needed can
definitely be removed
GetSnapshotData() updates definitely_needed to be the xmin of the computed
snapshot.
When testing whether a row can be removed (with GlobalVisTestIsRemovableXid())
and the tested XID falls in between the two (i.e. XID >= maybe_needed && XID <
definitely_needed) the boundaries can be recomputed to be more accurate. As it
is not cheap to compute accurate boundaries, we limit the number of times that
happens in short succession. As the boundaries used by
GlobalVisTestIsRemovableXid() are never reset (with maybe_needed updated by
GetSnapshotData()), it is likely that further test can benefit from an earlier
computation of accurate horizons.
To avoid regressing performance when old_snapshot_threshold is set (as that
requires an accurate horizon to be computed), heap_page_prune_opt() doesn't
unconditionally call TransactionIdLimitedForOldSnapshots() anymore. Both the
computation of the limited horizon, and the triggering of errors (with
SetOldSnapshotThresholdTimestamp()) is now only done when necessary to remove
tuples.
This commit just removes the accesses to PGXACT->xmin from
GetSnapshotData(), but other members of PGXACT residing in the same
cache line are accessed. Therefore this in itself does not result in a
significant improvement. Subsequent commits will take advantage of the
fact that GetSnapshotData() now does not need to access xmins anymore.
Note: This contains a workaround in heap_page_prune_opt() to keep the
snapshot_too_old tests working. While that workaround is ugly, the tests
currently are not meaningful, and it seems best to address them separately.

Testing that an unsigned variable is >= 0 is pretty pointless,
as noted by Coverity and numerous buildfarm members.
In passing, add comment about new uses of "volatile" --- Coverity
doesn't much like that either, but it seems probably necessary.
Ashutosh Bapat noticed that when logical walsender needs to wait for
WAL, and it realizes that it must send a keepalive message to
walreceiver to update the sent-LSN, which *does not* request a reply
from walreceiver, it wrongly sets the flag that it's going to wait for
that reply. That means that any future would-be sender of feedback
messages ends up not sending a feedback message, because they all
believe that a reply is expected.
With built-in logical replication there's not much harm in this, because
WalReceiverMain will send a ping-back every wal_receiver_timeout/2
anyway; but with other logical replication systems (e.g. pglogical) it
can cause significant pain.
This problem was introduced in commit 41d5f8ad73, where the
request-reply flag was changed from true to false to WalSndKeepalive,
without at the same time removing the line that sets
waiting_for_ping_response.
Just removing that line would be a sufficient fix, but it seems better
to shift the responsibility of setting the flag to WalSndKeepalive
itself instead of requiring caller to do it; this is clearly less
error-prone.

Instead of serializing the transaction to disk after reaching the
logical_decoding_work_mem limit in memory, we consume the changes we have
in memory and invoke stream API methods added by commit 45fdc9738b.
However, sometimes if we have incomplete toast or speculative insert we
spill to the disk because we can't generate the complete tuple and stream.
And, as soon as we get the complete tuple we stream the transaction
including the serialized changes.
We can do this incremental processing thanks to having assignments
(associating subxact with toplevel xacts) in WAL right away, and
thanks to logging the invalidation messages at each command end. These
features are added by commits 0bead9af48 and c55040ccd0 respectively.
Now that we can stream in-progress transactions, the concurrent aborts
may cause failures when the output plugin consults catalogs (both system
and user-defined).
We handle such failures by returning ERRCODE_TRANSACTION_ROLLBACK
sqlerrcode from system table scan APIs to the backend or WALSender
decoding a specific uncommitted transaction. The decoding logic on the
receipt of such a sqlerrcode aborts the decoding of the current
transaction and continue with the decoding of other transactions.
We have ReorderBufferTXN pointer in each ReorderBufferChange by which we
know which xact it belongs to. The output plugin can use this to decide
which changes to discard in case of stream_abort_cb (e.g. when a subxact
gets discarded).
We also provide a new option via SQL APIs to fetch the changes being
streamed.

The invalidations are decoded and accumulated in top-transaction, and then

restart which was not possible with the current patch.

The previous definition of the column was almost universally disliked,
so provide this updated definition which is more useful for monitoring
purposes: a large positive value is good, while zero or a negative value
means danger. This should be operationally more convenient.
Backpatch to 13, where the new column to pg_replication_slots (and the
feature it represents) were added.

src/backend/replication/README includes since 32bc08b a basic
description of the WAL receiver hooks available in walreceiver.h for a
module like libpqwalreceiver, but the README has never been updated to
reflect changes done to the hooks, so the contents of the README have
rotten with the time. This commit moves the description from the README
to walreceiver.h, where it will be hard to miss that a description
update or addition is needed depending on the modifications done to the
hooks.
Each hook now includes a description of what it does in walreceiver.h,
and the replication's README mentions walreceiver.h.
Thanks also to Amit Kapila for the discussion.

If restart_lsn of logical replication slot gets behind more than
max_slot_wal_keep_size from the current LSN, the logical replication slot
would be invalidated and its restart_lsn is reset to an invalid LSN.
If this logical replication slot with an invalid restart_lsn was specified as
the source slot in pg_copy_logical_replication_slot(), the function caused
the assertion failure unexpectedly.
This assertion was added because restart_lsn should not be invalid before.
But in v13, it can be invalid thanks to max_slot_wal_keep_size. So since this
assertion is no longer useful, this commit removes it.
This commit also changes the errcode in the error message that
pg_copy_logical_replication_slot() emits when the slot with an invalid
restart_lsn is specified, to more appropriate one.
Back-patch to v13 where max_slot_wal_keep_size was added and
the assertion was no longer valid.

In pg_replication_slot, change output from normal/reserved/lost to
reserved/extended/unreserved/ lost, which better expresses the possible
states particularly near the time where segments are no longer safe but
checkpoint has not run yet.
Under the new definition, reserved means the slot is consuming WAL
that's still under the normal WAL size constraints; extended means it's
consuming WAL that's being protected by wal_keep_segments or the slot
itself, whose size is below max_slot_wal_keep_size; unreserved means the
WAL is no longer safe, but checkpoint has not yet removed those files.
Such as slot is in imminent danger, but can still continue for a little
while and may catch up to the reserved WAL space.
Also, there were some bugs in the calculations used to report the
status; fixed those.
Backpatch to 13.

This commit fixes the following issues.
1. There is the case where the slot is dropped while trying to invalidate it.
InvalidateObsoleteReplicationSlots() did not handle this case, and
which could cause checkpoint to fail.
2. InvalidateObsoleteReplicationSlots() could emit the same log message
multiple times unnecessary. It should be logged only once.
3. When marking the slot as used, we always searched the target slot from
all the replication slots even if we already found it. This could cause
useless waste of cycles.
Back-patch to v13 where these issues were added as a part of
max_slot_wal_keep_size code.

Advancing a replication slot did not recompute the oldest xmin and LSN
values across replication slots, preventing resource removal like
segments not recycled at checkpoint time. The original commit that
introduced the slot advancing in 9c7d06d never did the update of those
oldest values, and b0afdca removed this code.
This commit adds a TAP test to check segment recycling with advancing
for physical slots, enforcing an extra segment switch before advancing
to check if the segment gets correctly recycled after a checkpoint.
