A future REPACK patch wants a way to suppress index_build doing its
progress reports when building an index, because that would interfere
with repack's own reporting; so add an INDEX_CREATE_SUPPRESS_PROGRESS
bit that enables this.
Furthermore, change the index_create_copy() API so that it takes flag
bits for index_create() and passes them unchanged. This gives its
callers more direct control, which eases the interface -- now its
callers can pass the INDEX_CREATE_SUPPRESS_PROGRESS bit directly. We
use it for the current caller in REINDEX CONCURRENTLY, since it's also
not interested in progress reporting, since it doesn't want
index_build() to be called at all in the first place.
One thing to keep in mind, pointed out by Mihail, is that we're not
suppressing the index-AM-specific progress report updates which happen
during ambuild(). At present this is not a problem, because the values
updated by those don't overlap with those used by commands other than
CREATE INDEX; but maybe in the future we'll want the ability to suppress
them also. (Alternatively we might want to display how each
index-build-subcommand progresses during REPACK and others.)

This allows data checksums to be enabled, or disabled, in a running
cluster without restricting access to the cluster during processing.
Data checksums could prior to this only be enabled during initdb or
when the cluster is offline using the pg_checksums app. This commit
introduce functionality to enable, or disable, data checksums while
the cluster is running regardless of how it was initialized.
A background worker launcher process is responsible for launching a
dynamic per-database background worker which will mark all buffers
dirty for all relation with storage in order for them to have data
checksums calculated on write. Once all relations in all databases
have been processed, the data_checksums state will be set to on and
the cluster will at that point be identical to one which had data
checksums enabled during initialization or via offline processing.
When data checksums are being enabled, concurrent I/O operations
from backends other than the data checksums worker will write the
checksums but not verify them on reading. Only when all backends
have absorbed the procsignalbarrier for setting data_checksums to
on will they also start verifying checksums on reading. The same
process is repeated during disabling; all backends write checksums
but do not verify them until the barrier for setting the state to
off has been absorbed by all. This in-progress state is used to
ensure there are no false negatives (or positives) due to reading
a checksum which is not in sync with the page.
A new testmodule, test_checksums, is introduced with an extensive
set of tests covering both online and offline data checksum mode
changes. The tests which run concurrent pgbdench during online
processing are gated behind the PG_TEST_EXTRA flag due to being
very expensive to run. Two levels of PG_TEST_EXTRA flags exist
to turn on a subset of the expensive tests, or the full suite of
multiple runs.

Up to now, to create such a function, one had to make a pg_proc.dat
entry and then modify it with GRANT/REVOKE commands, which we put in
system_functions.sql. That seems a little ugly though, because it
violates the idea of having a single source of truth about the initial
contents of pg_proc, and it results in leaving dead rows in the
initial contents of pg_proc.
This patch improves matters by allowing aclitemin to work during early
bootstrap, before pg_authid has been loaded. On the same principle
that we use for early access to pg_type details, put a table of known
built-in role names into bootstrap.c, and use that in bootstrap mode.
To create a built-in function with a non-default ACL, one should write
the desired ACL list in its pg_proc.dat entry, using a simplified
version of aclitemout's notation: omit the grantor (if it is the
bootstrap superuser, which it pretty much always should be) and spell
the bootstrap superuser's name as POSTGRES, similarly to the notation
used elsewhere in src/include/catalog. This results in entries like
proacl => '{POSTGRES=X,pg_monitor=X}'
which shows that we've revoked public execute permissions and instead
granted that to pg_monitor.
In addition to fixing up pg_proc.dat entries, I got rid of some
role grants that had been stuck into system_functions.sql,
and instead put them into a new file pg_auth_members.dat;
that seems like a far less random place to put the information.
The correctness of the data changes can be verified by comparing the
initial contents of pg_proc and pg_auth_members before and after.
pg_proc should match exactly, but the OID column of pg_auth_members
will probably be different because those OIDs now get assigned a
little earlier in bootstrap. (I forced a catversion bump out of
caution, but it wasn't really necessary.)

Instead of using comments to mark fallthrough switch cases, use the

only supported by gcc, the attribute is supported by clang, and in the
fullness of time the C23 standard attribute would allow supporting

Right now, we package the attribute into a macro called

Up to now, to create such a function, one had to make a pg_proc.dat
entry and then overwrite it with a CREATE OR REPLACE command in
system_functions.sql. That's error-prone (cf. bug #19409) and
results in leaving dead rows in the initial contents of pg_proc.
Manual maintenance of pg_node_tree strings seems entirely impractical,
and parsing expressions during bootstrap would be extremely difficult
as well. But Andres Freund observed that all the current use-cases
are simple constants, and building a Const node is well within the
capabilities of bootstrap mode. So this patch invents a special case:
if bootstrap mode is asked to ingest a non-null value for
pg_proc.proargdefaults (which would otherwise fail in
pg_node_tree_in), it parses the value as an array literal and then
feeds the element strings to the input functions for the corresponding
parameter types. Then we can build a suitable pg_node_tree string
with just a few more lines of code.
This allows removing all the system_functions.sql entries that are
just there to set up default arguments, replacing them with
proargdefaults fields in pg_proc.dat entries. The old technique
remains available in case someone needs a non-constant default.
The initial contents of pg_proc are demonstrably the same after
this patch, except that (1) json_strip_nulls and jsonb_strip_nulls
now have the correct provolatile setting, as per bug #19409;
(2) pg_terminate_backend, make_interval, and drandom_normal
now have defaults that don't include a type coercion, which is
how they should have been all along.
In passing, remove some unused entries from bootstrap.c's TypInfo[]
array. I had to add some new ones because we'll now need an entry for
each default-possessing system function parameter, but we shouldn't
carry more than we need there; it's just a maintenance gotcha.

Looking again at commit 7cdb633c8, I wondered why we have hard-wired
"1034" for the OID of type aclitem[]. Some other entries in the same
array have numeric type OIDs as well. This seems to be a hangover
from years ago when not every built-in pg_type entry had an OID macro.
But since we made genbki.pl responsible for generating these macros,
there are macros available for all these array types, so there's no
reason not to follow the project policy of never writing numeric OID
constants in C code.
Commit 7b378237a widened AclMode to 64 bits, which implies that
the alignment of AclItem is now determined by an int64 field.
That commit correctly set the typalign for SQL type aclitem to
'd', but it missed the hard-wired knowledge about _aclitem in
bootstrap.c. This doesn't seem to have caused any ill effects,
probably because we never try to fill a non-null value into
an aclitem[] column during bootstrap. Nonetheless, it's clearly
a gotcha waiting to happen, so fix it up.
In passing, also fix a couple of typanalyze functions that were
using hard-coded typalign constants when they could just as
easily use greppable TYPALIGN_xxx macros.
Noticed these while working on a patch to expand the set of
typalign values. I doubt we are going to pursue that path,
but these fixes still seem worth a quick commit.

This new identifier type provides support for 64-bit unsigned values,
to be used in catalogs, like OIDs. An advantage of a new data type is
that it becomes easier to grep for it in the code when assigning this
type to a catalog attribute, linking it to dedicated APIs and internal
structures.
The following operators are added in this commit, with dedicated tests:
- Casts with integer types and OID.
- btree and hash operators
- min/max functions.
- C type with related macros and defines, named around "Oid8".
This has been mentioned as useful on its own on the thread to add
support for 64-bit TOAST values, so as it becomes possible to attach
this data type to the TOAST code and catalog definitions. However, as
this concept can apply to many more areas, it is implemented as its own
independent change. This is based on a discussion with Andres Freund
and Tom Lane.

Formerly we skipped this in bootstrap/check mode and in single-user
mode. That's bad in check mode because it may allow accepting a
value of max_connections that doesn't actually work: on platforms
where semaphores consume file descriptors, there may not be enough
free FDs left over to satisfy fd.c, causing postmaster start to
fail. It's also not great in single-user mode, because fd.c will
operate with just the minimum allowable value of max_safe_fds,
resulting in excess file open/close overhead if anything moderately
complicated is done in single-user mode. (There may be some penalty
for bootstrap mode too, though probably not much.)

Before this patch, misplacing a special must-be-first option for

The dispatch option parsing code has been refactored for use
wherever ParseLongOption() is called. Beyond the obvious advantage
of avoiding code duplication, this should prevent similar problems
when new dispatch options are added. Note that we assume that none
of the dispatch option names match another valid command-line

up, by using up all the slots.
The code to manage the slots in the postmaster process is in a new

Replace the fixed-size array of fast-path locks with arrays, sized on
startup based on max_locks_per_transaction. This allows using fast-path
locking for workloads that need more locks.
The fast-path locking introduced in 9.2 allowed each backend to acquire
a small number (16) of weak relation locks cheaply. If a backend needs
to hold more locks, it has to insert them into the shared lock table.
This is considerably more expensive, and may be subject to contention
(especially on many-core systems).
The limit of 16 fast-path locks was always rather low, because we have
to lock all relations - not just tables, but also indexes, views, etc.
For planning we need to lock all relations that might be used in the
plan, not just those that actually get used in the final plan. So even
with rather simple queries and schemas, we often need significantly more
than 16 locks.
As partitioning gets used more widely, and the number of partitions
increases, this limit is trivial to hit. Complex queries may easily use
hundreds or even thousands of locks. For workloads doing a lot of I/O
this is not noticeable, but for workloads accessing only data in RAM,
the access to the shared lock table may be a serious issue.
This commit removes the hard-coded limit of the number of fast-path
locks. Instead, the size of the fast-path arrays is calculated at
startup, and can be set much higher than the original 16-lock limit.
The overall fast-path locking protocol remains unchanged.
The variable-sized fast-path arrays can no longer be part of PGPROC, but
are allocated as a separate chunk of shared memory and then references
from the PGPROC entries.
The fast-path slots are organized as a 16-way set associative cache. You
can imagine it as a hash table of 16-slot "groups". Each relation is
mapped to exactly one group using hash(relid), and the group is then
processed using linear search, just like the original fast-path cache.
With only 16 entries this is cheap, with good locality.
Treating this as a simple hash table with open addressing would not be
efficient, especially once the hash table gets almost full. The usual
remedy is to grow the table, but we can't do that here easily. The
access would also be more random, with worse locality.
The fast-path arrays are sized using the max_locks_per_transaction GUC.
We try to have enough capacity for the number of locks specified in the
GUC, using the traditional 2^n formula, with an upper limit of 1024 lock
groups (i.e. 16k locks). The default value of max_locks_per_transaction
is 64, which means those instances will have 64 fast-path slots.
The main purpose of the max_locks_per_transaction GUC is to size the
shared lock table. It is often set to the "average" number of locks
needed by backends, with some backends using significantly more locks.
This should not be a major issue, however. Some backens may have to
insert locks into the shared lock table, but there can't be too many of
them, limiting the contention.
The only solution is to increase the GUC, even if the shared lock table
already has sufficient capacity. That is not free, especially in terms
of memory usage (the shared lock table entries are fairly large). It
should only happen on machines with plenty of memory, though.
In the future we may consider a separate GUC for the number of fast-path
slots, but let's try without one first.

Before Bison 3.4, the generated parser implementation files run afoul
of -Wmissing-variable-declarations (in spite of commit ab61c40bfa)
because declarations for yylval and possibly yylloc are missing. The
generated header files contain an extern declaration, but the
implementation files don't include the header files. Since Bison 3.4,
the generated implementation files automatically include the generated
header files, so then it works.
To make this work with older Bison versions as well, include the
generated header file from the .y file.
(With older Bison versions, the generated implementation file contains
effectively a copy of the header file pasted in, so including the
header file is redundant. But we know this works anyway because the
core grammar uses this arrangement already.)

This changes the pg_attribute field attstattarget into a nullable
field in the variable-length part of the row. If no value is set by
the user for attstattarget, it is now null instead of previously -1.
This saves space in pg_attribute and tuple descriptors for most
practical scenarios. (ATTRIBUTE_FIXED_PART_SIZE is reduced from 108
to 104.) Also, null is the semantically more correct value.
The ANALYZE code internally continues to represent the default
statistics target by -1, so that that code can avoid having to deal
with null values. But that is now contained to the ANALYZE code.
Only the DDL code deals with attstattarget possibly null.
For system columns, the field is now always null. The ANALYZE code
skips system columns anyway.
To set a column's statistics target to the default value, the new
command form ALTER TABLE ... SET STATISTICS DEFAULT can be used. (SET
STATISTICS -1 still works.)

A PostgreSQL release tarball contains a number of prebuilt files, in
particular files produced by bison, flex, perl, and well as html and
man documentation. We have done this consistent with established
practice at the time to not require these tools for building from a
tarball. Some of these tools were hard to get, or get the right
version of, from time to time, and shipping the prebuilt output was a
convenience to users.
Now this has at least two problems:
One, we have to make the build system(s) work in two modes: Building
from a git checkout and building from a tarball. This is pretty
complicated, but it works so far for autoconf/make. It does not
currently work for meson; you can currently only build with meson from
a git checkout. Making meson builds work from a tarball seems very
difficult or impossible. One particular problem is that since meson
requires a separate build directory, we cannot make the build update
files like gram.h in the source tree. So if you were to build from a
tarball and update gram.y, you will have a gram.h in the source tree
and one in the build tree, but the way things work is that the
compiler will always use the one in the source tree. So you cannot,
for example, make any gram.y changes when building from a tarball.
This seems impossible to fix in a non-horrible way.
Second, there is increased interest nowadays in precisely tracking the
origin of software. We can reasonably track contributions into the
git tree, and users can reasonably track the path from a tarball to
packages and downloads and installs. But what happens between the git
tree and the tarball is obscure and in some cases non-reproducible.
The solution for both of these issues is to get rid of the step that
adds prebuilt files to the tarball. The tarball now only contains
what is in the git tree (*). Getting the additional build
dependencies is no longer a problem nowadays, and the complications to
keep these dual build modes working are significant. And of course we
want to get the meson build system working universally.
This commit removes the make distprep target altogether. The make
dist target continues to do its job, it just doesn't call distprep
anymore.
(*) - The tarball also contains the INSTALL file that is built at make
dist time, but not by distprep. This is unchanged for now.
The make maintainer-clean target, whose job it is to remove the
prebuilt files in addition to what make distclean does, is now just an
alias to make distprep. (In practice, it is probably obsolete given
that git clean is available.)
The following programs are now hard build requirements in configure
(they were already required by meson.build):
- bison
- flex
- perl

InitPostgres() has been using a set of boolean arguments to control its
behavior, and a patch under discussion was aiming at expanding it with a
third one. In preparation for expanding this area, this commit switches
all the current boolean arguments of this routine to a single bits32
argument instead. Two values are currently supported for the flags:
- INIT_PG_LOAD_SESSION_LIBS to load [session|local]_preload_libraries at
startup.
- INIT_PG_OVERRIDE_ALLOW_CONNS to allow connection to a database even if
it has !datallowconn. This is used by bgworkers.

Make the primary messages more compact and make the detail messages
uniform. In initdb.c and pg_resetwal.c, use the newish
option_parse_int() to simplify some of the option parsing. For the
backend GUC wal_segment_size, add a GUC check hook to do the
verification instead of coding it in bootstrap.c. This might be
overkill, but that way the check is in the right place and it becomes
more self-documenting.
In passing, make pg_controldata use the logging API for warning
messages.

The "partitions_total" and "partitions_done" fields were updated
as though the current level of partitioning was the only one.
In multi-level cases, not only could partitions_total change
over the course of the command, but partitions_done could go
backwards or exceed the currently-reported partitions_total.
Fix by setting partitions_total to the total number of direct
and indirect children once at command start, and then just
incrementing partitions_done at appropriate points. Invent
a new progress monitoring function "pgstat_progress_incr_param"
to simplify doing the latter. We can avoid adding cost for the
former when doing CREATE INDEX, because ProcessUtility already
enumerates the children and it's pretty easy to pass the count
down to DefineIndex. In principle the same could be done in
ALTER TABLE, but that's structurally difficult; for now, just
eat the cost of an extra find_all_inheritors scan in that case.

The only real argument for using malloc directly was that we needed
the ability to not throw error on OOM; but mcxt.c grew that feature
awhile ago.
Keeping the data in a memory context improves accountability and
debuggability --- for example, without this it's almost impossible
to detect memory leaks in the GUC code with anything less costly
than valgrind. Moreover, the next patch in this series will add a
hash table for GUC lookup, and it'd be pretty silly to be using
palloc-dependent hash facilities alongside malloc'd storage of the
underlying data.
This is a bit invasive though, in particular causing an API break
for GUC check hooks that want to modify the GUC's value or use an
"extra" data structure. They must now use guc_malloc() and
guc_free() instead of malloc() and free(). Failure to change
affected code will result in assertion failures or worse; but
thanks to recent effort in the mcxt infrastructure, it shouldn't
be too hard to diagnose such oversights (at least in assert-enabled
builds).
One note is that this changes ParseLongOption() to return short-lived
palloc'd not malloc'd data. There wasn't any caller for which the
previous definition was better.

Autoconf is showing its age, fewer and fewer contributors know how to wrangle
it. Recursive make has a lot of hard to resolve dependency issues and slow
incremental rebuilds. Our home-grown MSVC build system is hard to maintain for
developers not using Windows and runs tests serially. While these and other
issues could individually be addressed with incremental improvements, together
they seem best addressed by moving to a more modern build system.
After evaluating different build system choices, we chose to use meson, to a
good degree based on the adoption by other open source projects.
We decided that it's more realistic to commit a relatively early version of
the new build system and mature it in tree.
This commit adds an initial version of a meson based build system. It supports
building postgres on at least AIX, FreeBSD, Linux, macOS, NetBSD, OpenBSD,
Solaris and Windows (however only gcc is supported on aix, solaris). For
Windows/MSVC postgres can now be built with ninja (faster, particularly for
incremental builds) and msbuild (supporting the visual studio GUI, but
building slower).
Several aspects (e.g. Windows rc file generation, PGXS compatibility, LLVM
bitcode generation, documentation adjustments) are done in subsequent commits
requiring further review. Other aspects (e.g. not installing test-only
extensions) are not yet addressed.
When building on Windows with msbuild, builds are slower when using a visual
studio version older than 2019, because those versions do not support
MultiToolTask, required by meson for intra-target parallelism.
The plan is to remove the MSVC specific build system in src/tools/msvc soon
after reaching feature parity. However, we're not planning to remove the
autoconf/make build system in the near future. Likely we're going to keep at
least the parts required for PGXS to keep working around until all supported
versions build with meson.

Make sure that function declarations use names that exactly match the
corresponding names from function definitions in optimizer, parser,
utility, libpq, and "commands" code, as well as in remaining library
code. Do the same for all code related to frontend programs (with the
exception of pg_dump/pg_dumpall related code).
Like other recent commits that cleaned up function parameter names, this
commit was written with help from clang-tidy. Later commits will handle
ecpg and pg_dump/pg_dumpall.

Since the retirement of some older buildfarm members, the oldest Bison
that gets regular testing is 2.3. MacOS ships that version, and will
continue doing so for the forseeable future because of Apple's policy
regarding GPLv3. While Mac users could use a package manager to install
a newer version, there is no compelling reason to force them do so at
this time.

Previously we did this after InitPostgres, at a somewhat randomly chosen
place within PostgresMain. However, since commit a0ffa885e doing this
outside a transaction can cause a crash, if we need to check permissions
while replacing a placeholder GUC. (Besides which, a preloaded library
could itself want to do database access within _PG_init.)
To avoid needing an additional transaction start/end in every session,
move the process_session_preload_libraries call to within InitPostgres's
transaction. That requires teaching the code not to call it when
InitPostgres is called from somewhere other than PostgresMain, since
we don't want session_preload_libraries to affect background workers.
The most future-proof solution here seems to be to add an additional
flag parameter to InitPostgres; fortunately, we're not yet very worried
about API stability for v15.
Doing this also exposed the fact that we're currently honoring
session_preload_libraries in walsenders, even those not connected to
any database. This seems, at minimum, a POLA violation: walsenders
are not interactive sessions. Let's stop doing that.
(All these comments also apply to local_preload_libraries, of course.)
Per report from Gurjeet Singh (thanks also to Nathan Bossart and Kyotaro
Horiguchi for review). Backpatch to v15 where a0ffa885e came in.

We have been using the term RelFileNode to refer to either (1) the
integer that is used to name the sequence of files for a certain relation
within the directory set aside for that tablespace/database combination;
or (2) that value plus the OIDs of the tablespace and database; or
occasionally (3) the whole series of files created for a relation
based on those values. Using the same name for more than one thing is
confusing.
Replace RelFileNode with RelFileNumber when we're talking about just the
single number, i.e. (1) from above, and with RelFileLocator when we're
talking about all the things that are needed to locate a relation's files
on disk, i.e. (2) from above. In the places where we refer to (3) as
a relfilenode, instead refer to "relation storage".
Since there is a ton of SQL code in the world that knows about
pg_class.relfilenode, don't change the name of that column, or of other
SQL-facing things that derive their name from it.
On the other hand, do adjust closely-related internal terminology. For
example, the structure member names dbNode and spcNode appear to be
derived from the fact that the structure itself was called RelFileNode,
so change those to dbOid and spcOid. Likewise, various variables with
names like rnode and relnode get renamed appropriately, according to
how they're being used in context.
Hopefully, this is clearer than before. It is also preparation for
future patches that intend to widen the relfilenumber fields from its
current width of 32 bits. Variables that store a relfilenumber are now
declared as type RelFileNumber rather than type Oid; right now, these
are the same, but that can now more easily be changed.

The original advice for hard-wired SetConfigOption calls was to use
PGC_S_OVERRIDE, particularly for PGC_INTERNAL GUCs. However,
that's really overkill for PGC_INTERNAL GUCs, since there is no
possibility that we need to override a user-provided setting.
Instead use PGC_S_DYNAMIC_DEFAULT in most places, so that the
value will appear with source = 'default' in pg_settings and thereby
not be shown by psql's new \dconfig command. The one exception is
that when changing in_hot_standby in a hot-standby session, we still
use PGC_S_OVERRIDE, because people felt that seeing that in \dconfig
would be a good thing.
Similarly use PGC_S_DYNAMIC_DEFAULT for the auto-tune value of
wal_buffers (if possible, that is if wal_buffers wasn't explicitly
set to -1), and for the typical 2MB value of max_stack_depth.
In combination these changes remove four not-very-interesting
entries from the typical output of \dconfig, all of which people
fingered as "why is that showing up?" in the discussion thread.

Currently, database OIDs, relfilenodes, and tablespace OIDs can all
change when a cluster is upgraded using pg_upgrade. It seems better
to preserve them, because (1) it makes troubleshooting pg_upgrade
easier, since you don't have to do a lot of work to match up files
in the old and new clusters, (2) it allows 'rsync' to save bandwidth
when used to re-sync a cluster after an upgrade, and (3) if we ever
encrypt or sign blocks, we would likely want to use a nonce that
depends on these values.
This patch only arranges to preserve relfilenodes and tablespace
OIDs. The task of preserving database OIDs is left for another patch,
since it involves some complexities that don't exist in these cases.
Database OIDs have a similar issue, but there are some tricky points
in that case that do not apply to these cases, so that problem is left
for another patch.
