For some reason pg_waldump is including tuptable.h, and the recent addition of a static inline function to it is causing problems on older buildfarm members that fail to optimize such functions away completely. I wonder if this situation doesn't mean that some header refactoring is called for ... but as a band-aid, wrap the static function in "#ifndef FRONTEND".

These platforms are also subject to the mis-linking problem addressed in commit e3d77ea6b. It's not clear whether we could solve it with a solution equivalent to GNU ld's version scripts, but -Bsymbolic appears to fix it, so let's use that. Like the previous commit, back-patch as far as v10. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/153626613985.23143.4743626885618266803@wrigleys.postgresql.org https://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/4fa3741d1cfb3898c3ff7b01fa873383108e1fe3 - Remove ruleutils.c's special case for BIT [VARYING] literals. Up to now, get_const_expr() insisted on prefixing BIT and VARBIT literals with 'B'. That's not really necessary, because we always append explicit-cast syntax to identify the constant's type. Moreover, it's subtly wrong for VARBIT, because the parser will interpret B'...' as '...'::"bit"; see make_const() which explicitly assigns type BITOID for a T_BitString literal. So what had been a simple VARBIT literal is reconstructed as ('...'::"bit")::varbit, which is not the same thing, at least not before constant folding. This results in odd differences after dump/restore, as complained of by the patch submitter, and it could result in actual failures in partitioning or inheritance DDL operations (see commit 542320c2b, which repaired similar misbehaviors for some other data types). Fixing it is pretty easy: just remove the special case and let the default code path handle these types. We could have kept the special case for BIT only, but there seems little point in that. Like the previous patch, I judge that back-patching this into stable branches wouldn't be a good idea. However, it seems not quite too late for v11, so let's fix it there.

On many modern platforms, /etc/localtime is a symlink to a file within the IANA database. Reading the symlink lets us find out the name of the system timezone directly, without going through the brute-force search embodied in scan_available_timezones(). This shortens the runtime of initdb by some tens of ms, which is helpful for the buildfarm, and it also allows us to reliably select the same zone name the system was actually configured for, rather than possibly choosing one of IANA's many zone aliases. (For example, in a system configured for "Asia/Tokyo", the brute-force search would not choose that name but its alias "Japan", on the grounds of the latter string being shorter. More surprisingly, "Navajo" is preferred to either "America/Denver" or "US/Mountain", as seen in an old complaint from Josh Berkus.) If /etc/localtime doesn't exist, or isn't a symlink, or we can't make sense of its contents, or the contents match a zone we know but that zone doesn't match the observed behavior of localtime(), fall back to the brute-force search. Also, tweak initdb so that it prints the zone name it selected. In passing, replace the last few references to the "Olson" database in code comments with "IANA", as that's been our preferred term since commit b2cbced9e. Patch by me, per a suggestion from Robert Haas; review by Michael Paquier Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/7408.1525812528@sss.pgh.pa.us https://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/23bd3cec6eb1ffb80ed2601c13f89d89e658fcc1 - Improve parallel scheduling logic in pg_dump/pg_restore. Previously, the way this worked was that a parallel pg_dump would re-order the TABLE_DATA items in the dump's TOC into decreasing size order, and separately re-order (some of) the INDEX items into decreasing size order. Then pg_dump would dump the items in that order. Later, parallel pg_restore just followed the TOC order. This method had lots of deficiencies: * TOC ordering randomly differed between parallel and non-parallel dumps, and was hard to predict in the former case, causing problems for building stable pg_dump test cases. * Parallel restore only followed a well-chosen order if the dump had been done in parallel; in particular, this never happened for restore from custom-format dumps. * The best order for restore isn't necessarily the same as for dump, and it's not really static either because of locking considerations. * TABLE_DATA and INDEX items aren't the only things that might take a lot of work during restore. Scheduling was particularly stupid for the BLOBS item, which might require lots of work during dump as well as restore, but was left to the end in either case. This patch removes the logic that changed the TOC order, fixing the test instability problem. Instead, we sort the parallelizable items just before processing them during a parallel dump. Independently of that, parallel restore prioritizes the ready-to-execute tasks based on the size of the underlying table. In the case of dependent tasks such as index, constraint, or foreign key creation, the largest relevant table is used as the metric for estimating the task length. (This is pretty crude, but it should be enough to avoid the case we want to avoid, which is ending the run with just a few large tasks such that we can't make use of all N workers.) Patch by me, responding to a complaint from Peter Eisentraut, who also reviewed the patch. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/5137fe12-d0a2-4971-61b6-eb4e7e8875f8@2ndquadrant.com https://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/548e50976ce721b5e927d42a105c2f05b51b52a6 - Fix failure with initplans used conditionally during EvalPlanQual rechecks. The EvalPlanQual machinery assumes that any initplans (that is, uncorrelated sub-selects) used during an EPQ recheck would have already been evaluated during the main query; this is implicit in the fact that execPlan pointers are not copied into the EPQ estate's es_param_exec_vals. But it's possible for that assumption to fail, if the initplan is only reached conditionally. For example, a sub-select inside a CASE expression could be reached during a recheck when it had not been previously, if the CASE test depends on a column that was just updated. This bug is old, appearing to date back to my rewrite of EvalPlanQual in commit 9f2ee8f28, but was not detected until Kyle Samson reported a case. To fix, force all not-yet-evaluated initplans used within the EPQ plan subtree to be evaluated at the start of the recheck, before entering the EPQ environment. This could be inefficient, if such an initplan is expensive and goes unused again during the recheck --- but that's piling one layer of improbability atop another. It doesn't seem worth adding more complexity to prevent that, at least not in the back branches. It was convenient to use the new-in-v11 ExecEvalParamExecParams function to implement this, but I didn't like either its name or the specifics of its API, so revise that. Back-patch all the way. Rather than rewrite the patch to avoid depending on bms_next_member() in the oldest branches, I chose to back-patch that function into 9.4 and 9.3. (This isn't the first time back-patches have needed that, and it exhausted my patience.) I also chose to back-patch some test cases added by commits 71404af2a and 342a1ffa2 into 9.4 and 9.3, so that the 9.x versions of eval-plan-qual.spec are all the same. Andrew Gierth diagnosed the problem and contributed the added test cases, though the actual code changes are by me.

Per discussion, JIT isn't quite mature enough to ship enabled-by-default. I failed to resist the temptation to do a bunch of copy-editing on the related documentation. Also, clean up some inconsistencies in which section of config.sgml the JIT GUCs are documented in vs. what guc.c and postgresql.config.sample had.

I noticed while poking at a report from Andrey Lepikhov that the recent addition of RawStmt nodes at the top of raw parse trees makes it impossible to print any raw parse trees whatsoever, because outfuncs.c doesn't know RawStmt and hence fails to descend into it. While we generally lack outfuncs.c support for utility statements, there is reasonably complete support for what you can find in a raw SELECT statement. It was not my intention to make that all dead code ... so let's add support for RawStmt. Back-patch to v10 where RawStmt appeared. https://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/3844adbf3c2521c0956064c1c27096c96ca92201 - Fix pgbench lexer's "continuation" rule to cope with Windows newlines. Our general practice in frontend code is to accept input with either Unix-style newlines (\n) or DOS-style (\r\n). pgbench was mostly down with that, but its rule for line continuations (backslash-newline) was not. This had been masked on Windows buildfarm machines before commit 0ba06e0bf by use of Windows text mode to read files. We could have fixed it by forcing text mode again, but it's better to fix the parsing code so that Windows-style text files on Unix systems don't cause problems. Back-patch to v10 where pgbench grew line continuations.

The pref_non_data heuristic has been dead code for nearly ten years, and as far as I can tell was dead code even when it was first committed. I'm tired of silencing Coverity complaints about it, so get rid of it. If anyone is ever interested in pursuing the concept, they can get the code out of our git history. https://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/789ba5029a8aea8256d20780410cfa2872637f15 - Fix parsetree representation of XMLTABLE(XMLNAMESPACES(DEFAULT ...)). The original coding for XMLTABLE thought it could represent a default namespace by a T_String Value node with a null string pointer. That's not okay, though; in particular outfuncs.c/readfuncs.c are not on board with such a representation, meaning you'll get a null pointer crash if you try to store a view or rule containing this construct. To fix, change the parsetree representation so that we have a NULL list element, instead of a bogus Value node. This isn't really a functional limitation since default XML namespaces aren't yet implemented in the executor; you'd just get "DEFAULT namespace is not supported" anyway. But crashes are not nice, so back-patch to v10 where this syntax was added. Ordinarily we'd consider a parsetree representation change to be un-backpatchable; but since existing releases would crash on the way to storing such constructs, there can't be any existing views/rules to be incompatible with. Per report from Andrey Lepikhov.

This bug originates in commit ccd6eb49a where traversalValue was introduced. Repair by traversing the stack before the context reset; this isn't ideal, since it means doing retail pfree in a context that's about to be reset, but the freeing of a stack entry is also done in other places in the code during the scan so it's not worth trying to refactor it further. Regression test added. Backpatch to 9.6 where the problem was introduced. Per bug #15378; analysis and patch by me, originally from a report on IRC by user velix; see also PostGIS ticket #4174; review by Alexander Korotkov.

Commit c8ea87e4b introduced a temporary conversion buffer for substrings extracted during regexp splits. Unfortunately the code that sized it was failing to ignore the effects of ignored degenerate regexp matches, so for regexp_split_* calls it could under-size the buffer in such cases. Fix, and add some regression test cases (though those will only catch the bug if run in a multibyte encoding). Backpatch to 9.3 as the faulty code was. Thanks to the PostGIS project, Regina Obe and Paul Ramsey for the report (via IRC) and assistance in analysis.

Neither plperl nor plpython installed sufficient header files to permit transform modules to be built out-of-tree using PGXS. Fix that by installing all plperl and plpython header files (other than those with special purposes such as generated data tables), and also install plpython's special .mk file for mangling regression tests. (This commit does not fix the windows install, which does not currently install _any_ plperl or plpython headers.) Also fix the existing transform modules for hstore and ltree so that their cross-module #include directives work as anticipated by commit df163230b9 et seq. This allows them to serve as working examples of how to reference other modules when doing separate out-of-tree builds.

We have two code paths for initializing the tuple descriptor for a new index: For a normal index, we copy the tuple descriptor from the table and reset a number of fields that are not applicable to indexes. For an expression index, we make a blank tuple descriptor and fill in the needed fields based on the provided expressions. As pg_attribute has grown over time, the number of fields that we need to reset in the first case is now bigger than the number of fields we actually want to copy, so it's sensible to do it the other way around: Make a blank descriptor and copy just the fields we need. This also allows more code sharing between the two branches, and it avoids having to touch this code for almost every unrelated change to the pg_attribute structure.

When ALTER TABLE ... SET DATA TYPE affects a column referenced by constraints and indexes, it drop those constraints and indexes and recreates them afterwards, so that the definitions match the new data type. The original code did this by dropping one object at a time (commit 077db40fa1f3 of May 2004), which worked fine because the dependencies between the objects were pretty straightforward, and ordering the objects in a specific way was enough to make this work. However, when there are foreign key constraints in partitioned tables, the dependencies are no longer so straightforward, and we were getting errors when attempted: ERROR: cache lookup failed for constraint 16398 This can be fixed by doing all the drops in one pass instead, using performMultipleDeletions (introduced by df18c51f2955 of Aug 2006).
