10e4d8aaf4 Make cast functions from jsonb error safe
This adjusts cast functions from jsonb to other types to support soft
errors.  This just involves some refactoring of the underlying helper
functions to use ereturn.

This is in preparation for a future feature where conversion errors in
casts can be caught.

999dec9ec6 aio: Don't wait for already in-progress IO
When a backend attempts to start a read IO and finds the first buffer already
has I/O in progress, previously it waited for that I/O to complete before
initiating reads for any of the subsequent buffers.

Although it must wait for the I/O to finish when acquiring the buffer, there's
no reason for it to wait when setting up the read operation. Waiting at this
point prevents starting I/O on subsequent buffers and can significantly reduce
concurrency.

This matters in two workloads:
1) When multiple backends scan the same relation concurrently.
2) When a single backend requests the same block multiple times within the
   readahead distance.

Waiting each time an in-progress read is encountered effectively degenerates
the access pattern into synchronous I/O.

To fix this, when encountering an already in-progress IO for the head buffer,
the wait reference is now recorded and waiting is deferred until
WaitReadBuffers(), when the buffer actually needs to be acquired.

In rare cases, a backend may still need to wait synchronously at IO
start time: If another backend has set BM_IO_IN_PROGRESS on the buffer
but has not yet set the wait reference. Such windows should be brief and
uncommon.

74eafeab1a bufmgr: Improve StartBufferIO interface
Until now StartBufferIO() had a few weaknesses:

- As it did not submit staged IOs, it was not safe to call StartBufferIO()
  where there was a potential for unsubmitted IO, which required
  AsyncReadBuffers() to use a wrapper (ReadBuffersCanStartIO()) around
  StartBufferIO().

- With nowait = true, the boolean return value did not allow to distinguish
  between no IO being necessary and having to wait, which would lead
  ReadBuffersCanStartIO() to unnecessarily submit staged IO.

- Several callers needed to handle both local and shared buffers, requiring
  the caller to differentiate between StartBufferIO() and StartLocalBufferIO()

- In a future commit some callers of StartBufferIO() want the BufferDesc's
  io_wref to be returned, to asynchronously wait for in-progress IO

- Indicating whether to wait with the nowait parameter was somewhat confusing
  compared to a wait parameter

Address these issues as follows:

- StartBufferIO() is renamed to StartSharedBufferIO()

- A new StartBufferIO() is introduced that supports both shared and local
  buffers

- The boolean return value has been replaced with an enum, indicating whether
  the IO is already done, already in progress or that the buffer has been
  readied for IO

- A new PgAioWaitRef * argument allows the caller to get the wait reference is
  desired.  All current callers pass NULL, a user of this will be introduced
  subsequently

- Instead of the nowait argument there now is wait

  This probably would not have been worthwhile on its own, but since all these
  lines needed to be touched anyway...

1f6f200cab test_aio: Add read_stream test infrastructure & tests
While we have a lot of indirect coverage of read streams, there are corner
cases that are hard to test when only indirectly controlling and observing the
read stream.  This commit adds an SQL callable SRF interface for a read stream
and uses that in a few tests.

To make some of the tests possible, the injection point infrastructure in
test_aio had to be expanded to allow blocking IO completion.

While at it, fix a wrong debug message in inj_io_short_read_hook().

f39cb8c011 bufmgr: Make UnlockReleaseBuffer() more efficient
Now that the buffer content lock is implemented as part of BufferDesc.state,
releasing the lock and unpinning the buffer can be implemented as a single
atomic operation.

This improves workloads that have heavy contention on a small number of
buffers substantially, I e.g., see a ~20% improvement for pipelined readonly
pgbench on an older two socket machine.

8df3c48e46 Use UnlockReleaseBuffer() in more places
An upcoming commit will make UnlockReleaseBuffer() considerably faster and
more scalable than doing LockBuffer(BUFFER_LOCK_UNLOCK); ReleaseBuffer();. But
it's a small performance benefit even as-is.

Most of the callsites changed in this patch are not performance sensitive,
however some, like the nbtree ones, are in critical paths.

This patch changes all the easily convertible places over to
UnlockReleaseBuffer() mainly because I needed to check all of them anyway, and
reducing cases where the operations are done separately makes the checking
easier.

41d3d64e87 bufmgr: Don't copy pages while writing out
After the series of preceding commits introducing and using
BufferBeginSetHintBits()/BufferSetHintBits16(), hint bits are not set anymore
while IO is going on. Therefore we do not need to copy pages while they are
being written out anymore.

For the same reason XLogSaveBufferForHint() now does not need to operate on a
copy of the page anymore, but can instead use the normal XLogRegisterBuffer()
mechanism. For that the assertions and comments to XLogRegisterBuffer() had to
be updated to allow share-exclusive locked buffers to be registered.

d7965d65fc Add rudimentary table prioritization to autovacuum.
Autovacuum workers scan pg_class twice to collect the set of tables
to process.  The first pass is for plain relations and materialized
views, and the second is for TOAST tables.  When the worker finds a
table to process, it adds it to the end of a list.  Later on, it
processes the tables in the same order as the list.  This simple
strategy has worked surprisingly well for a long time, but there
have been many discussions over the years about trying to improve
it.

This commit introduces a scoring system that is used to sort the
aforementioned list of tables to process.  The idea is to have
autovacuum workers prioritize tables that are furthest beyond their
thresholds (e.g., a table nearing transaction ID wraparound should
be vacuumed first).  This prioritization scheme is certainly far
from perfect; there are simply too many possibilities for any
scoring technique to work across all workloads, and the situation
might change significantly between the time we calculate the score
and the time that autovacuum processes it.  However, we have
attemped to develop something that is expected to work for a large
portion of workloads with reasonable parameter settings.

The score is calculated as the maximum of the ratios of each of the
table's relevant values to its threshold.  For example, if the
number of inserted tuples is 100, and the insert threshold for the
table is 80, the insert score is 1.25.  If all other scores are
below that value, the table's score will be 1.25.  The other
criteria considered for the score are the table ages (both
relfrozenxid and relminmxid) compared to the corresponding
freeze-max-age setting, the number of update/deleted tuples
compared to the vacuum threshold, and the number of
inserted/updated/deleted tuples compared to the analyze threshold.

Once exception to the previous paragraph is for tables nearing
wraparound, i.e., those that have surpassed the effective failsafe
ages.  In that case, the relfrozenxid/relminmxid-based score is
scaled aggressively so that the table has a decent chance of
sorting to the front of the list.

To adjust how strongly each component contributes to the score, the
following parameters can be adjusted from their default of 1.0 to
anywhere between 0.0 and 10.0 (inclusive).  Setting all of these to
0.0 restores pre-v19 prioritization behavior:

	autovacuum_freeze_score_weight
	autovacuum_multixact_freeze_score_weight
	autovacuum_vacuum_score_weight
	autovacuum_vacuum_insert_score_weight
	autovacuum_analyze_score_weight

This is intended to be a baby step towards smarter autovacuum
workers.  Possible future improvements include, but are not limited
to, periodic reprioritization, automatic cost limit adjustments,
and better observability (e.g., a system view that shows current
scores).  While we do not expect this commit to produce any
earth-shattering improvements, it is arguably a prerequisite for
the aforementioned follow-up changes.

26255a3207 Add an alternative_plan_name field to PlannerInfo.
Typically, we have only one PlannerInfo for any given subquery, but
when we are considering a MinMaxAggPath or a hashed subplan, we end
up creating a second PlannerInfo for the same portion of the query,
with a clone of the original range table. In fact, in the MinMaxAggPath
case, we might end up creating several clones, one per aggregate.

At present, there's no easy way for a plugin, such as pg_plan_advice,
to understand the relationships between the original range table and
the copies of it that are created in these cases.  To fix, add an
alternative_plan_name field to PlannerInfo. For a hashed subplan, this
is the plan name for the non-hashed alternative; for minmax aggregates,
this is the plan_name from the parent PlannerInfo; otherwise, it's the
same as plan_name.

5dcb15e89a pg_plan_advice: Refactor to invent pgpa_planner_info
pg_plan_advice tracks two pieces of per-PlannerInfo data: (1) for each
RTI, the corresponding relation identifier, for purposes of
cross-checking those calculations against the final plan; and (2) the
set of semijoins seen during planning for which the strategy of making
one side unique was considered. The former is tracked using a hash
table that uses <plan_name, RTI> as the key, and the latter is
tracked using a List of <plan_name, relids>.

It seems better to track both of these things in the same way and
to try to reuse some code instead of having everything be completely
separate, so invent pgpa_planner_info; we'll create one every time we
see a new PlannerInfo and need to associate some data with it, and
we'll use the plan_name field to distinguish between PlannerInfo
objects, as it should always be unique. Then, refactor the two
systems mentioned above to use this new infrastructure.

(Note that the adjustment in pgpa_plan_walker is necessary in order
to avoid spuriously triggering the sanity check in that function,
in the case where a pgpa_planner_info is created for a purpose not
related to sj_unique_rels.)

description of its purpose.  The code is arranged so that the
labels also appear as SQL comments in the server log, if the
server is logging these commands.

We could expand this policy to every use of PSQLexec(), but most of
the ones outside describe.c are issuing simple commands like "BEGIN"
or "COMMIT", which don't seem to need such glosses.  I did add
labels to the commands issued by \sf, \sv and friends.

Also, make the -E and log output for hidden queries say
"INTERNAL QUERY" not just "QUERY", to distinguish them from
user-written queries.

906a046972 aio: Refactor tests in preparation for more tests
In a future commit more AIO related tests are due to be introduced. However
001_aio.pl already is fairly large.

This commit introduces a new TestAio package with helpers for writing AIO
related tests. Then it uses the new helpers to simplify the existing
001_aio.pl by iterating over all supported io_methods. This will be
particularly helpful because additional methods already have been submitted.

Additionally this commit splits out testing of initdb using a non-default
method into its own test. While that test is somewhat important, it's fairly
slow and doesn't break that often. For development velocity it's helpful for
001_aio.pl to be faster.

While particularly the latter could benefit from being its own commit, it
seems to introduce more back-and-forth than it's worth.

47c110f77e Respect disabled_nodes in fix_alternative_subplan.
When my commit e222534679 added the
concept of disabled_nodes, it failed to add a disabled_nodes field
to SubPlan. This is a regression: before that commit, when
fix_alternative_subplan compared the costs of two plans, the number
of disabled nodes affected the result, because it was just a
component of the total cost. After that commit, it no longer did,
making it possible for a disabled path to win on cost over one that
is not disabled. Fix that.

As usual for planner fixes that might destabilize plan choices,
no back-patch.

400a790a48 Avoid sending duplicate WAL locations in standby status replies
Previously, when the startup process applied WAL and requested walreceiver
to send an apply notification to the primary, walreceiver sent a status reply
unconditionally, even if the WAL locations had not advanced since
the previous update.

As a result, the standby could send two consecutive status reply messages
with identical WAL locations even though wal_receiver_status_interval had
not yet elapsed. This could unexpectedly reset the reported replication lag,
making it difficult for users to monitor lag. The second message was also
unnecessary because it reported no progress.

This commit updates walreceiver to send a reply only when the apply location
has advanced since the last status update, even when the startup process
requests a notification.

eef1ba704d Fix premature NULL lag reporting in pg_stat_replication
pg_stat_replication is documented to keep the last measured lag values for
a short time after the standby catches up, and then set them to NULL when
there is no WAL activity. However, previously lag values could become NULL
prematurely even while WAL activity was ongoing, especially in logical
replication.

This happened because the code cleared lag when two consecutive reply messages
indicated that the apply location had caught up with the send location.
It did not verify that the reported positions were unchanged, so lag could be
cleared even when positions had advanced between messages. In logical
replication, where the apply location often quickly catches up, this issue was
more likely to occur.

This commit fixes the issue by clearing lag only when the standby reports that
it has fully replayed WAL (i.e., both flush and apply locations have caught up
with the send location) and the write/flush/apply positions remain unchanged
across two consecutive reply messages.

The second message with unchanged positions typically results from
wal_receiver_status_interval, so lag values are cleared after that interval
when there is no activity. This avoids showing stale lag data while preventing
premature NULL values.

Even with this fix, lag may rarely become NULL during activity if identical
position reports are sent repeatedly. Eliminating such duplicate messages
would address this fully, but that change is considered too invasive for stable
branches and will be handled in master only later.

Backpatch to all supported branches.

Commit 497c1170cb added base32hex encoding support, but its
regression test for UUIDs failed on buildfarm members hippopotamus and
jay using natural language locales (such as cs_CZ). This happened
because those collations may sort characters differently, which breaks
the strict byte-wise lexicographical ordering expected by base32hex
encoding.

This commit fixes the regression tests by explicitly using the C
collation.

4287c50fc2 Improve timeout handling of pg_promote()
Previously, pg_promote() looped a fixed number of times, calculated from
the specified timeout, and waited 100ms on a latch, once per iteration,
for the promotion of a standby to complete.  However, unrelated signals
to the backend could set the latch and wake up the backend early,
resulting in a faster consumption of the loops and an execution time of
the function that does not match with the timeout input given in input.
This could be confusing for the function caller, especially if some
backend-side timeout is aggressive, because the function would return
much earlier than expected and report that the promote request has not
completed within the time requested.

This commit refines the logic to track the time actually elapsed, by
looping until the requested duration has truly passed.  The code
calculates the end time we expect, then uses it when looping.

e9d723487b Remove a low-value, high-risk optimization in pg_waldump.
The code removed here deleted already-used data from a partially-read
WAL segment's hashtable entry.  The intent was evidently to try to
keep the entry's memory consumption below the WAL segment's total
size, but we don't use WAL segments that are so large as to make that
a big win.  The important memory-space optimization is to remove
hashtable entries altogether when done with them, and that's handled
elsewhere.  To buy that, we must accept a substantially more complex
(and under-documented) logical invariant about what is in entry->buf,
as well as complex and under-documented interactions with the entry
spilling logic, various re-checking code paths in xlogreader.c,
and pg_waldump's overall data processing order.  Any of those aspects
could have bugs lurking still, and are quite likely to be prone to
new bugs after future code changes.

Given the number of bugs we've already found in commit b15c15139,
I judge that simplifying anything we possibly can is a good decision.

While here, revise and extend some related comments.

ff84efe4fd Fix misuse of simplehash.h hash operations in pg_waldump.
Both ArchivedWAL_insert() and ArchivedWAL_delete_item() can cause
existing hashtable entries to move.  The code didn't account for this
and could leave privateInfo->cur_file pointing at a dead or incorrect
entry, with hilarity ensuing.  Likewise, read_archive_wal_page calls
read_archive_file which could result in movement of the hashtable
entry it is working with.

I believe these bugs explain some odd buildfarm failures, although
the amount of data we use in pg_waldump's TAP tests isn't enough to
trigger them reliably.

This code's all new as of commit b15c15139, so no need for back-patch.

03b1e30e7a Fix file descriptor leakages in pg_waldump.
TarWALDumpCloseSegment was of the opinion that it didn't need to
do anything.  It was mistaken: it has to close the open file if
any, because nothing else will, leading to a descriptor leak.

In addition, we failed to ensure that any file being read by the
XLogReader machinery gets closed before the atexit callback tries to
cleanup the temporary directory holding spilled WAL files.  While the
file would have been closed already in case of a success exit, this
doesn't happen in case of pg_fatal() exits.  The least messy way
to fix that is to move the atexit function into pg_waldump.c,
where it has easier access to the XLogReaderState pointer and to
WALDumpCloseSegment.

These FD leakages are pretty insignificant on Unix-ish platforms,
but they're a bug on Windows, because they prevent successful cleanup
of the temporary directory for extracted WAL files.  (Windows can't
delete a directory that holds a deleted-but-still-open file.)
This is visible in occasional buildfarm failures.

This code's all new as of commit b15c15139, so no need for back-patch.

497c1170cb Add base32hex support to encode() and decode() functions.
This adds support for base32hex encoding and decoding, as defined in
RFC 4648 Section 7. Unlike standard base32, base32hex uses the
extended hex alphabet (0-9, A-V) which preserves the lexicographical
order of the encoded data.

This is particularly useful for representing UUIDv7 values in a
compact string format while maintaining their time-ordered sort
property.

The encode() function produces output padded with '=', while decode()
accepts both padded and unpadded input. Following the behavior of
other encoding types, decoding is case-insensitive.

benefit from this.)
