6919b7e329 Fix failure to ignore leftover temp tables after a server crash.
During crash recovery, we remove disk files belonging to temporary tables,
but the system catalog entries for such tables are intentionally not
cleaned up right away.  Instead, the first backend that uses a temp schema
is expected to clean out any leftover objects therein.  This approach
requires that we be careful to ignore leftover temp tables (since any
actual access attempt would fail), *even if their BackendId matches our
session*, if we have not yet established use of the session's corresponding
temp schema.  That worked fine in the past, but was broken by commit
debcec7dc31a992703911a9953e299c8d730c778 which incorrectly removed the
rd_islocaltemp relcache flag.  Put it back, and undo various changes
that substituted tests like "rel->rd_backend == MyBackendId" for use
of a state-aware flag.  Per trouble report from Heikki Linnakangas.

Back-patch to 9.1 where the erroneous change was made.  In the back
branches, be careful to add rd_islocaltemp in a spot in the struct that
was alignment padding before, so as not to break existing add-on code.

3c84046490 Fix assorted bugs in CREATE/DROP INDEX CONCURRENTLY.
Commit 8cb53654dbdb4c386369eb988062d0bbb6de725e, which introduced DROP
INDEX CONCURRENTLY, managed to break CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY via a poor
choice of catalog state representation.  The pg_index state for an index
that's reached the final pre-drop stage was the same as the state for an
index just created by CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY.  This meant that the
(necessary) change to make RelationGetIndexList ignore about-to-die indexes
also made it ignore freshly-created indexes; which is catastrophic because
the latter do need to be considered in HOT-safety decisions.  Failure to
do so leads to incorrect index entries and subsequently wrong results from
queries depending on the concurrently-created index.

To fix, add an additional boolean column "indislive" to pg_index, so that
the freshly-created and about-to-die states can be distinguished.  (This
change obviously is only possible in HEAD.  This patch will need to be
back-patched, but in 9.2 we'll use a kluge consisting of overloading the
formerly-impossible state of indisvalid = true and indisready = false.)

In addition, change CREATE/DROP INDEX CONCURRENTLY so that the pg_index
flag changes they make without exclusive lock on the index are made via
heap_inplace_update() rather than a normal transactional update.  The
latter is not very safe because moving the pg_index tuple could result in
concurrent SnapshotNow scans finding it twice or not at all, thus possibly
resulting in index corruption.  This is a pre-existing bug in CREATE INDEX
CONCURRENTLY, which was copied into the DROP code.

In addition, fix various places in the code that ought to check to make
sure that the indexes they are manipulating are valid and/or ready as
appropriate.  These represent bugs that have existed since 8.2, since
a failed CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY could leave a corrupt or invalid
index behind, and we ought not try to do anything that might fail with
such an index.

Also fix RelationReloadIndexInfo to ensure it copies all the pg_index
columns that are allowed to change after initial creation.  Previously we
could have been left with stale values of some fields in an index relcache
entry.  It's not clear whether this actually had any user-visible
consequences, but it's at least a bug waiting to happen.

In addition, do some code and docs review for DROP INDEX CONCURRENTLY;
some cosmetic code cleanup but mostly addition and revision of comments.

This will need to be back-patched, but in a noticeably different form,
so I'm committing it to HEAD before working on the back-patch.

1f67078ea3 Add OpenTransientFile, with automatic cleanup at end-of-xact.
Files opened with BasicOpenFile or PathNameOpenFile are not automatically
cleaned up on error. That puts unnecessary burden on callers that only want
to keep the file open for a short time. There is AllocateFile, but that
returns a buffered FILE * stream, which in many cases is not the nicest API
to work with. So add function called OpenTransientFile, which returns a
unbuffered fd that's cleaned up like the FILE* returned by AllocateFile().

This plugs a few rare fd leaks in error cases:

1. copy_file() - fixed by by using OpenTransientFile instead of BasicOpenFile
2. XLogFileInit() - fixed by adding close() calls to the error cases. Can't
   use OpenTransientFile here because the fd is supposed to persist over
   transaction boundaries.
3. lo_import/lo_export - fixed by using OpenTransientFile instead of
   PathNameOpenFile.

In addition to plugging those leaks, this replaces many BasicOpenFile() calls
with OpenTransientFile() that were not leaking, because the code meticulously
closed the file on error. That wasn't strictly necessary, but IMHO it's good
for robustness.

The same leaks exist in older versions, but given the rarity of the issues,
I'm not backpatching this. Not yet, anyway - it might be good to backpatch
later, after this mechanism has had some more testing in master branch.

a66ee69add Embedded list interface
Provide a common implementation of embedded singly-linked and
doubly-linked lists.  "Embedded" in the sense that the nodes'
next/previous pointers exist within some larger struct; this design
choice reduces memory allocation overhead.

Most of the implementation uses inlineable functions (where supported),
for performance.

Some existing uses of both types of lists have been converted to the new
code, for demonstration purposes.  Other uses can (and probably will) be
converted in the future.  Since dllist.c is unused after this conversion,
it has been removed.

71e58dcfb9 Make equal() ignore CoercionForm fields for better planning with casts.
This change ensures that the planner will see implicit and explicit casts
as equivalent for all purposes, except in the minority of cases where
there's actually a semantic difference (as reflected by having a 3-argument
cast function).  In particular, this fixes cases where the EquivalenceClass
machinery failed to consider two references to a varchar column as
equivalent if one was implicitly cast to text but the other was explicitly
cast to text, as seen in bug #7598 from Vaclav Juza.  We have had similar
bugs before in other parts of the planner, so I think it's time to fix this
problem at the core instead of continuing to band-aid around it.

Remove set_coercionform_dontcare(), which represents the band-aid
previously in use for allowing matching of index and constraint expressions
with inconsistent cast labeling.  (We can probably get rid of
COERCE_DONTCARE altogether, but I don't think removing that enum value in
back branches would be wise; it's possible there's third party code
referring to it.)

Back-patch to 9.2.  We could go back further, and might want to once this
has been tested more; but for the moment I won't risk destabilizing plan
choices in long-since-stable branches.

c219d9b0a5 Split tuple struct defs from htup.h to htup_details.h
This reduces unnecessary exposure of other headers through htup.h, which
is very widely included by many files.

I have chosen to move the function prototypes to the new file as well,
because that means htup.h no longer needs to include tupdesc.h.  In
itself this doesn't have much effect in indirect inclusion of tupdesc.h
throughout the tree, because it's also required by execnodes.h; but it's
something to explore in the future, and it seemed best to do the htup.h

psql support, and documentation, but the triggers didn't actually fire.
With this commit, they now do.  This is still a pretty basic facility
overall because event triggers do not get a whole lot of information
about what the user is trying to do unless you write them in C; and
there's still no option to fire them anywhere except at the very
beginning of the execution sequence, but it's better than nothing,
and a good building block for future work.

9ad45c18b6 Fix race condition in enum value comparisons.
When (re) loading the typcache comparison cache for an enum type's values,
use an up-to-date MVCC snapshot, not the transaction's existing snapshot.
This avoids problems if we encounter an enum OID that was created since our
transaction started.  Per report from Andres Freund and diagnosis by Robert
Haas.

To ensure this is safe even if enum comparison manages to get invoked
before we've set a transaction snapshot, tweak GetLatestSnapshot to
redirect to GetTransactionSnapshot instead of throwing error when
FirstSnapshotSet is false.  The existing uses of GetLatestSnapshot (in
ri_triggers.c) don't care since they couldn't be invoked except in a
transaction that's already done some work --- but it seems just conceivable
that this might not be true of enums, especially if we ever choose to use
enums in system catalogs.

Note that the comparable coding in enum_endpoint and enum_range_internal
remains GetTransactionSnapshot; this is perhaps debatable, but if we
changed it those functions would have to be marked volatile, which doesn't
seem attractive.

09ff76fcdb Recast "ONLY" column CHECK constraints as NO INHERIT
The original syntax wasn't universally loved, and it didn't allow its
usage in CREATE TABLE, only ALTER TABLE.  It now works everywhere, and
it also allows using ALTER TABLE ONLY to add an uninherited CHECK
constraint, per discussion.

The pg_constraint column has accordingly been renamed connoinherit.

This commit partly reverts some of the changes in
61d81bd28dbec65a6b144e0cd3d0bfe25913c3ac, particularly some pg_dump and
psql bits, because now pg_get_constraintdef includes the necessary NO

9dbf2b7d75 Restructure SELECT INTO's parsetree representation into CreateTableAsStmt.
Making this operation look like a utility statement seems generally a good
idea, and particularly so in light of the desire to provide command
triggers for utility statements.  The original choice of representing it as
SELECT with an IntoClause appendage had metastasized into rather a lot of
places, unfortunately, so that this patch is a great deal more complicated
than one might at first expect.

In particular, keeping EXPLAIN working for SELECT INTO and CREATE TABLE AS
subcommands required restructuring some EXPLAIN-related APIs.  Add-on code
that calls ExplainOnePlan or ExplainOneUtility, or uses
ExplainOneQuery_hook, will need adjustment.

Also, the cases PREPARE ... SELECT INTO and CREATE RULE ... SELECT INTO,
which formerly were accepted though undocumented, are no longer accepted.
The PREPARE case can be replaced with use of CREATE TABLE AS EXECUTE.
The CREATE RULE case doesn't seem to have much real-world use (since the
rule would work only once before failing with "table already exists"),
so we'll not bother with that one.

Both SELECT INTO and CREATE TABLE AS still return a command tag of
"SELECT nnnn".  There was some discussion of returning "CREATE TABLE nnnn",
but for the moment backwards compatibility wins the day.

doing this via a hard-wired assumption but that seems pretty grotty, and
it'll only get worse as more cases come up.  So let's expose a calculation

cd30728fb2 Allow LEAKPROOF functions for better performance of security views.

with the security_barrier option, but functions without side effects
are an exception: they're OK.  This allows much better performance in
common cases, such as when using an equality operator (that might
even be indexable).

There is an outstanding issue here with the CREATE FUNCTION / ALTER
FUNCTION syntax: there's no way to use ALTER FUNCTION to unset the

have to be rebased again; we can fix up the grammar in a future

a578257040 Accept a non-existent value in "ALTER USER/DATABASE SET ..." command.
When default_text_search_config, default_tablespace, or temp_tablespaces
setting is set per-user or per-database, with an "ALTER USER/DATABASE SET
..." statement, don't throw an error if the text search configuration or
tablespace does not exist. In case of text search configuration, even if
it doesn't exist in the current database, it might exist in another
database, where the setting is intended to have its effect. This behavior
is now the same as search_path's.

Tablespaces are cluster-wide, so the same argument doesn't hold for
tablespaces, but there's a problem with pg_dumpall: it dumps "ALTER USER
SET ..." statements before the "CREATE TABLESPACE" statements. Arguably
that's pg_dumpall's fault - it should dump the statements in such an order
that the tablespace is created first and then the "ALTER USER SET
default_tablespace ..." statements after that - but it seems better to be
consistent with search_path and default_text_search_config anyway. Besides,
you could still create a dump that throws an error, by creating the
tablespace, running "ALTER USER SET default_tablespace", then dropping the
tablespace and running pg_dumpall on that.

Normally, accessing variable-length members of catalog structures past

indnatts was checked to be 1, and so the defined FormData_pg_index
layout, using int2vector[1] and oidvector[1] for variable-length

fragile assumption, and it's not in a performance-critical path, so

This patch creates an API whereby a btree index opclass can optionally

Move the responsibility for caching specialized information about range

actually effective in the GiST support code.  (Use of OidFunctionCallN is
bad enough for performance in itself, but it also prevents the function
from exploiting fn_extra caching.)

The range I/O functions are still not very bright about caching repeated
lookups, but that seems like material for a separate patch.

Also, avoid unnecessary use of memcpy to fetch/store the range type OID and
flags, and don't use the full range_deserialize machinery when all we need
to see is the flags value.

08e261cbc9 Fix race condition with toast table access from a stale syscache entry.
If a tuple in a syscache contains an out-of-line toasted field, and we
try to fetch that field shortly after some other transaction has committed
an update or deletion of the tuple, there is a race condition: vacuum
could come along and remove the toast tuples before we can fetch them.
This leads to transient failures like "missing chunk number 0 for toast
value NNNNN in pg_toast_2619", as seen in recent reports from Andrew
Hammond and Tim Uckun.

The design idea of syscache is that access to stale syscache entries
should be prevented by relation-level locks, but that fails for at least
two cases where toasted fields are possible: ANALYZE updates pg_statistic
rows without locking out sessions that might want to plan queries on the
same table, and CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION updates pg_proc rows without
any meaningful lock at all.

The least risky fix seems to be an idea that Heikki suggested when we
were dealing with a related problem back in August: forcibly detoast any
out-of-line fields before putting a tuple into syscache in the first place.
This avoids the problem because at the time we fetch the parent tuple from
the catalog, we should be holding an MVCC snapshot that will prevent
removal of the toast tuples, even if the parent tuple is outdated
immediately after we fetch it.  (Note: I'm not convinced that this
statement holds true at every instant where we could be fetching a syscache
entry at all, but it does appear to hold true at the times where we could
fetch an entry that could have a toasted field.  We will need to be a bit
wary of adding toast tables to low-level catalogs that don't have them
already.)  An additional benefit is that subsequent uses of the syscache
entry should be faster, since they won't have to detoast the field.

Back-patch to all supported versions.  The problem is significantly harder
to reproduce in pre-9.0 releases, because of their willingness to flush
every entry in a syscache whenever the underlying catalog is vacuumed
(cf CatalogCacheFlushRelation); but there is still a window for trouble.

e6858e6657 Measure the number of all-visible pages for use in index-only scan costing.
Add a column pg_class.relallvisible to remember the number of pages that

(or ANALYZE, or some other operations that update pg_class.relpages).
Use relallvisible/relpages, instead of an arbitrary constant, to estimate
how many heap page fetches can be avoided during an index-only scan.

This is pretty primitive and will no doubt see refinements once we've
acquired more field experience with the index-only scan mechanism, but
it's way better than using a constant.

Note: I had to adjust an underspecified query in the window.sql regression
test, because it was changing answers when the plan changed to use an
index-only scan.  Some of the adjacent tests perhaps should be adjusted

d5aa7a9fe6 Avoid unnecessary snapshot-acquisitions in BuildCachedPlan.
I had copied-and-pasted a claim that we couldn't reach this point when
dealing with utility statements, but that was a leftover from when the
caller was required to supply a plan to start with.  We now will go
through here at least once when handling a utility statement, so it
seems worth a check to see whether a snapshot is actually needed.
(Note that analyze_requires_snapshot is quite a cheap test.)

Per suggestion from Yamamoto Takashi.  I don't think I believe that this
resolves his reported assertion failure; but it's worth changing anyway,
just to save a cycle or two.

c4ae968633 Fix Assert failure in new plancache code.
The regression tests were failing with CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS enabled,
as reported by buildfarm member jaguar.  There was an Assert in
BuildCachedPlan that asserted that the CachedPlanSource hadn't been
invalidated since we called RevalidateCachedQuery, which in theory can't
happen because we are holding locks on all the relevant database objects.
However, CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS generates a false positive by making an
invalidation happen anyway; and on reflection, that could also occur as a
result of a badly-timed sinval reset due to queue overflow.  We could just
remove the Assert and forge ahead with the not-really-stale querytree, but
it seems safer to do another RevalidateCachedQuery call just to make real
sure everything's OK.

e6faf910d7 Redesign the plancache mechanism for more flexibility and efficiency.
Rewrite plancache.c so that a "cached plan" (which is rather a misnomer
at this point) can support generation of custom, parameter-value-dependent
plans, and can make an intelligent choice between using custom plans and
the traditional generic-plan approach.  The specific choice algorithm
implemented here can probably be improved in future, but this commit is
all about getting the mechanism in place, not the policy.

In addition, restructure the API to greatly reduce the amount of extraneous
data copying needed.  The main compromise needed to make that possible was
to split the initial creation of a CachedPlanSource into two steps.  It's
worth noting in particular that SPI_saveplan is now deprecated in favor of
SPI_keepplan, which accomplishes the same end result with zero data
copying, and no need to then spend even more cycles throwing away the
original SPIPlan.  The risk of long-term memory leaks while manipulating
SPIPlans has also been greatly reduced.  Most of this improvement is based
on use of the recently-added MemoryContextSetParent primitive.

1609797c25 Clean up the #include mess a little.
walsender.h should depend on xlog.h, not vice versa.  (Actually, the
inclusion was circular until a couple hours ago, which was even sillier;
but Bruce broke it in the expedient rather than logically correct
direction.)  Because of that poor decision, plus blind application of
pgrminclude, we had a situation where half the system was depending on
xlog.h to include such unrelated stuff as array.h and guc.h.  Clean up
the header inclusion, and manually revert a lot of what pgrminclude had
done so things build again.

This episode reinforces my feeling that pgrminclude should not be run
without adult supervision.  Inclusion changes in header files in particular
need to be reviewed with great care.  More generally, it'd be good if we
had a clearer notion of module layering to dictate which headers can sanely
include which others ... but that's a big task for another day.

5bba65de94 Fix a missed case in code for "moving average" estimate of reltuples.
It is possible for VACUUM to scan no pages at all, if the visibility map
shows that all pages are all-visible.  In this situation VACUUM has no new
information to report about the relation's tuple density, so it wasn't
changing pg_class.reltuples ... but it updated pg_class.relpages anyway.
That's wrong in general, since there is no evidence to justify changing the
density ratio reltuples/relpages, but it's particularly bad if the previous
state was relpages=reltuples=0, which means "unknown tuple density".
We just replaced "unknown" with "zero".  ANALYZE would eventually recover
from this, but it could take a lot of repetitions of ANALYZE to do so if
the relation size is much larger than the maximum number of pages ANALYZE
will scan, because of the moving-average behavior introduced by commit
b4b6923e03f4d29636a94f6f4cc2f5cf6298b8c8.

The only known situation where we could have relpages=reltuples=0 and yet
the visibility map asserts everything's visible is immediately following
a pg_upgrade.  It might be advisable for pg_upgrade to try to preserve the
relpages/reltuples statistics; but in any case this code is wrong on its
own terms, so fix it.  Per report from Sergey Koposov.

Back-patch to 8.4, where the visibility map was introduced, same as the
previous change.

b5282aa893 Revise sinval code to remove no-longer-used tuple TID from inval messages.
This requires adjusting the API for syscache callback functions: they now
get a hash value, not a TID, to identify the target tuple.  Most of them
weren't paying any attention to that argument anyway, but plancache did
require a small amount of fixing.

Also, improve performance a trifle by avoiding sending duplicate inval
messages when a heap_update isn't changing the catcache lookup columns.

632ae6829f Forget about targeting catalog cache invalidations by tuple TID.
The TID isn't stable enough: we might queue an sinval event before a VACUUM
FULL, and then process it afterwards, when the target tuple no longer has
the same TID.  So we must invalidate entries on the basis of hash value
only.  The old coding can be shown to result in various bizarre,
hard-to-reproduce errors in the presence of concurrent VACUUM FULLs on
system catalogs, and could easily result in permanent catalog corruption,
up to and including complete loss of tables.

This commit is just a minimal fix that removes the unsafe comparison.
We should remove transmission of the tuple TID from sinval messages
altogether, and then arrange to suppress the extra message in the common
case of a heap_update that doesn't change the key hashvalue.  But that's
going to be much more invasive, and will only produce a probably-marginal
performance gain, so it doesn't seem like material for a back-patch.

Back-patch to 9.0.  Before that, VACUUM FULL refused to do any tuple moving
if it found any INSERT_IN_PROGRESS or DELETE_IN_PROGRESS tuples (and
CLUSTER would give up altogether), so there was no risk of moving a tuple
that might be the subject of an unsent sinval message.

f4d7f1adba Fix incorrect order of operations during sinval reset processing.
We have to be sure that we have revalidated each nailed-in-cache relcache
entry before we try to use it to load data for some other relcache entry.
The introduction of "mapped relations" in 9.0 broke this, because although
we updated the state kept in relmapper.c early enough, we failed to
propagate that information into relcache entries soon enough; in
particular, we could try to fetch pg_class rows out of pg_class before
we'd updated its relcache entry's rd_node.relNode value from the map.

This bug accounts for Dave Gould's report of failures after "vacuum full
pg_class", and I believe that there is risk for other system catalogs
as well.

The core part of the fix is to copy relmapper data into the relcache
entries during "phase 1" in RelationCacheInvalidate(), before they'll be
used in "phase 2".  To try to future-proof the code against other similar
bugs, I also rearranged the order in which nailed relations are visited
during phase 2: now it's pg_class first, then pg_class_oid_index, then
other nailed relations.  This should ensure that RelationClearRelation can
apply RelationReloadIndexInfo to all nailed indexes without risking use
of not-yet-revalidated relcache entries.

Back-patch to 9.0 where the relation mapper was introduced.
