INSERT .. ON CONFLICT runs a pre-check of the possible conflicting
constraints before performing the actual speculative insertion. In case
the inserted tuple included TOASTed columns the ON CONFLICT condition
would be handled correctly in case the conflict was caught by the
pre-check, but if two transactions entered the speculative insertion
phase at the same time, one would have to re-try, and the code for
aborting a speculative insertion did not handle deleting the
speculatively inserted TOAST datums correctly.
TOAST deletion would fail with "ERROR: attempted to delete invisible
tuple" as we attempted to remove the TOAST tuples using
simple_heap_delete which reasoned that the given tuples should not be
visible to the command that wrote them.
This commit updates the heap_abort_speculative() function which aborts
the conflicting tuple to use itself, via toast_delete, for deleting
associated TOAST datums. Like before, the inserted toast rows are not
marked as being speculative.
This commit also adds a isolationtester spec test, exercising the
relevant code path. Unfortunately 9.5 cannot handle two waiting
sessions, and thus cannot execute this test.

Backpatch: 9.5, where ON CONFLICT was introduced
Per discussion, we should provide such functions to replace the lost
ability to discover AM properties by inspecting pg_am (cf commit
65c5fcd35). The added functionality is also meant to displace any code
that was looking directly at pg_index.indoption, since we'd rather not
believe that the bit meanings in that field are part of any client API
contract.
As future-proofing, define the SQL API to not assume that properties that
are currently AM-wide or index-wide will remain so unless they logically
must be; instead, expose them only when inquiring about a specific index
or even specific index column. Also provide the ability for an index
AM to override the behavior.
In passing, document pg_am.amtype, overlooked in commit 473b93287.

ParallelMessagePending *must* be marked volatile, because it's set
by a signal handler. On the other hand, it's pointless for
HandleParallelMessageInterrupt to save/restore errno; that must be,
and is, done at the outer level of the SIGUSR1 signal handler.
Calling CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() inside HandleParallelMessages, which itself
is called from CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS(), seems both useless and hazardous.
The comment claiming that this is needed to handle the error queue going
away is certainly misguided, in any case.
Improve a couple of error message texts, and use
ERRCODE_OBJECT_NOT_IN_PREREQUISITE_STATE to report loss of parallel worker
connection, since that's what's used in e.g. tqueue.c. (Maybe it would be
worth inventing a dedicated ERRCODE for this type of failure? But I do not
think ERRCODE_INTERNAL_ERROR is appropriate.)
Minor stylistic cleanups.
Since a892234 & fd31cd265 the visibilitymap's freeze bit is used to
avoid vacuuming the whole relation in anti-wraparound vacuums. Doing so
correctly relies on not adding xids to the heap without also unsetting
the visibilitymap flag. Tuple locking related code has not done so.
To allow selectively resetting all-frozen - to avoid pessimizing
heap_lock_tuple - allow to selectively reset the all-frozen with
visibilitymap_clear(). To avoid having to use
visibilitymap_get_status (e.g. via VM_ALL_FROZEN) inside a critical
section, have visibilitymap_clear() return whether any bits have been
reset.
There's a remaining issue (denoted by XXX): After the PageIsAllVisible()
check in heap_lock_tuple() and heap_lock_updated_tuple_rec() the page
status could theoretically change. Practically that currently seems
impossible, because updaters will hold a page level pin already. Due to
the next beta coming up, it seems better to get the required WAL magic
bump done before resolving this issue.
The added flags field fields to xl_heap_lock and xl_heap_lock_updated
require bumping the WAL magic. Since there's already been a catversion
bump since the last beta, that's not an issue.

Backpatch: -
After pg_upgrade, it is possible that some tuples' Xmax have multixacts
corresponding to the old installation; such multixacts cannot have
running members anymore. In many code sites we already know not to read
them and clobber them silently, but at least when VACUUM tries to freeze
a multixact or determine whether one needs freezing, there's an attempt
to resolve it to its member transactions by calling GetMultiXactIdMembers,
and if the multixact value is "in the future" with regards to the
current valid multixact range, an error like this is raised:
ERROR: MultiXactId 123 has not been created yet -- apparent wraparound
and vacuuming fails. Per discussion with Andrew Gierth, it is completely
bogus to try to resolve multixacts coming from before a pg_upgrade,
regardless of where they stand with regards to the current valid
multixact range.
It's possible to get from under this problem by doing SELECT FOR UPDATE
of the problem tuples, but if tables are large, this is slow and
tedious, so a more thorough solution is desirable.
To fix, we realize that multixacts in xmax created in 9.2 and previous
have a specific bit pattern that is never used in 9.3 and later (we
already knew this, per comments and infomask tests sprinkled in various
places, but we weren't leveraging this knowledge appropriately).
Whenever the infomask of the tuple matches that bit pattern, we just
ignore the multixact completely as if Xmax wasn't set; or, in the case
of tuple freezing, we act as if an unwanted value is set and clobber it
without decoding. This guarantees that no errors will be raised, and
that the values will be progressively removed until all tables are
clean. Most callers of GetMultiXactIdMembers are patched to recognize
directly that the value is a removable "empty" multixact and avoid
calling GetMultiXactIdMembers altogether.
To avoid changing the signature of GetMultiXactIdMembers() in back
branches, we keep the "allow_old" boolean flag but rename it to
"from_pgupgrade"; if the flag is true, we always return an empty set
instead of looking up the multixact. (I suppose we could remove the
argument in the master branch, but I chose not to do so in this commit).
This was broken all along, but the error-facing message appeared first
because of commit 8e9a16ab8f and was partially fixed in a25c2b7c4d.
This fix, backpatched all the way back to 9.3, goes approximately in the
same direction as a25c2b7c4d but should cover all cases.

When the index is predicted to need more than NBuffers buckets,
CREATE INDEX attempts to sort the index entries by hash key before
insertion, so as to reduce thrashing. This code path got broken by
commit 9f03ca9151, which overlooked that _hash_form_tuple() is not
just an alias for index_form_tuple(). The index got built anyway, but
with garbage data, so that searches for pre-existing tuples always
failed. Fix by refactoring to separate construction of the indexable
data from calling index_form_tuple().

Patch by me, reviewed but not fully endorsed by Andres Freund.
Commit a892234f83 added a new bit per
page to the visibility map fork indicating whether the page is
all-frozen, but incorrectly assumed that if lazy_scan_heap chose to
freeze a tuple then that tuple would not need to later be frozen
again. This turns out to be false, because xmin and xmax (and
conceivably xvac, if dealing with tuples from very old releases) could
be frozen at separate times.
Thanks to Andres Freund for help in uncovering and tracking down this
issue.
If a Gather node has read as many tuples as it needs (for example, due
to Limit) it may detach the queue connecting it to the worker before
reading all of the worker's tuples. Rather than let the worker
continue to generate and send all of the results, have it stop after
sending the next tuple.
More could be done here to stop the worker even quicker, but this is
about as well as we can hope to do for 9.6.
This is in response to a problem report from Andreas Seltenreich.
Commit 44339b892a should be actually be
sufficient to fix that example even without this change, but it seems
better to do this, too, since we might otherwise waste quite a large

This reverts commits f07d18b6e9, 82c83b3372, 3a3b309041, and
24c5f1a103.
This feature has shown enough immaturity that it was deemed better to
rip it out before rushing some more fixes at the last minute. There are
discussions on larger changes in this area for the next release.
Previously, ginInsertCleanup could exit early if it detects that someone else
is cleaning up the pending list, without waiting for that someone else to
finish the job. But in this case vacuum could miss tuples to be deleted.
Cleanup process now locks metapage with a help of heavyweight
LockPage(ExclusiveLock), and it guarantees that there is no another cleanup
process at the same time. Lock is taken differently depending on caller of
cleanup process: any vacuums and gin_clean_pending_list() will be blocked
until lock becomes available, ordinary insert uses conditional lock to
prevent indefinite waiting on lock.
Insert into pending list doesn't use this lock, so insertion isn't blocked.
Also, patch adds stopping of cleanup process when at-start-cleanup-tail is
reached in order to prevent infinite cleanup in case of massive insertion. But
it will stop only for automatic maintenance tasks like autovacuum.
Patch introduces choice of limit of memory to use: autovacuum_work_mem,
maintenance_work_mem or work_mem depending on call path.
Patch for previous releases should be reworked due to changes between 9.6 and
previous ones in this area.
Discover and diagnostics by Jeff Janes and Tomas Vondra
Patch by me with some ideas of Jeff Janes
Commit 36a35c550a turned the interface between ginPlaceToPage and
its subroutines in gindatapage.c and ginentrypage.c into a royal mess:
page-update critical sections were started in one place and finished in
another place not even in the same file, and the very same subroutine
might return having started a critical section or not. Subsequent patches
band-aided over some of the problems with this design by making things
even messier.
One user-visible resulting problem is memory leaks caused by the need for
the subroutines to allocate storage that would survive until ginPlaceToPage
calls XLogInsert (as reported by Julien Rouhaud). This would not typically
be noticeable during retail index updates. It could be visible in a GIN
index build, in the form of memory consumption swelling to several times
the commanded maintenance_work_mem.
Another rather nasty problem is that in the internal-page-splitting code
path, we would clear the child page's GIN_INCOMPLETE_SPLIT flag well before
entering the critical section that it's supposed to be cleared in; a
failure in between would leave the index in a corrupt state. There were
also assorted coding-rule violations with little immediate consequence but
possible long-term hazards, such as beginning an XLogInsert sequence before
entering a critical section, or calling elog(DEBUG) inside a critical
section.
To fix, redefine the API between ginPlaceToPage() and its subroutines
by splitting the subroutines into two parts. The "beginPlaceToPage"
subroutine does what can be done outside a critical section, including
full computation of the result pages into temporary storage when we're
going to split the target page. The "execPlaceToPage" subroutine is called
within a critical section established by ginPlaceToPage(), and it handles
the actual page update in the non-split code path. The critical section,
as well as the XLOG insertion call sequence, are both now always started
and finished in ginPlaceToPage(). Also, make ginPlaceToPage() create and
work in a short-lived memory context to eliminate the leakage problem.
(Since a short-lived memory context had been getting created in the most
common code path in the subroutines, this shouldn't cause any noticeable
performance penalty; we're just moving the overhead up one call level.)
In passing, fix a bunch of comments that had gone unmaintained throughout
all this klugery.

Rename this function to GenericXLogRegisterBuffer() to make it clearer

future. Also, replace its "bool isNew" argument with an integer flags
argument, so as to allow adding more flags in future without an API
break.
Alexander Korotkov, adjusted slightly by me
This routine is unsafe as implemented, because it invalidates the page
image pointers returned by previous GenericXLogRegister() calls.
Rather than complicate the API or the implementation to avoid that,
let's just get rid of it; the use-case for having it seems much
too thin to justify a lot of work here.
While at it, do some wordsmithing on the SGML docs for generic WAL.
This feature is controlled by a new old_snapshot_threshold GUC. A
value of -1 disables the feature, and that is the default. The
value of 0 is just intended for testing. Above that it is the
number of minutes a snapshot can reach before pruning and vacuum
are allowed to remove dead tuples which the snapshot would
otherwise protect. The xmin associated with a transaction ID does
still protect dead tuples. A connection which is using an "old"
snapshot does not get an error unless it accesses a page modified
recently enough that it might not be able to produce accurate
results.
This is similar to the Oracle feature, and we use the same SQLSTATE
and error message for compatibility.
Now indexes (but only B-tree for now) can contain "extra" column(s) which
doesn't participate in index structure, they are just stored in leaf
tuples. It allows to use index only scan by using single index instead
of two or more indexes.

Previously non-exclusive backups had to be done using the replication protocol
and pg_basebackup. With this commit it's now possible to make them using
pg_start_backup/pg_stop_backup as well, as long as the backup program can
maintain a persistent connection to the database.
Doing this, backup_label and tablespace_map are returned as results from
pg_stop_backup() instead of being written to the data directory. This makes
the server safe from a crash during an ongoing backup, which can be a problem
with exclusive backups.
The old syntax of the functions remain and work exactly as before, but since the
new syntax is safer this should eventually be deprecated and removed.
Only reference documentation is included. The main section on backup still needs
to be rewritten to cover this, but since that is already scheduled for a separate
large rewrite, it's not included in this patch.

When decoding from a logical slot, it's necessary for xlog reading to be
able to read xlog from historical (i.e. not current) timelines;
otherwise, decoding fails after failover, because the archives are in
the historical timeline. This is required to make "failover logical
slots" possible; it currently has no other use, although theoretically
it could be used by an extension that creates a slot on a standby and
continues to replay from the slot when the standby is promoted.
This commit includes a module in src/test/modules with functions to
manipulate the slots (which is not otherwise possible in SQL code) in
order to enable testing, and a new test in src/test/recovery to ensure
that the behavior is as expected.

During scan sometimes it would be very helpful to know some information about

reconstructedVale should have the same type as indexed column.

In this mode, the master waits for the transaction to be applied on
the remote side, not just written to disk. That means that you can
count on a transaction started on the standby to see all commits
previously acknowledged by the master.
To make this work, the standby sends a reply after replaying each
commit record generated with synchronous_commit >= 'remote_apply'.
This introduces a small inefficiency: the extra replies will be sent
even by standbys that aren't the current synchronous standby. But
previously-existing synchronous_commit levels make no attempt at all
to optimize which replies are sent based on what the primary cares
about, so this is no worse, and at least avoids any extra replies for
people not using the feature at all.

tweaks by me.
Returning the direct result of bit arithmetic, in a macro intended to be
used in a boolean manner, can be problematic if the return value is
stored in a variable of type 'bool'. If bool is implemented using C99's
_Bool, that can lead to comparison failures if the variable is then
compared again with the expression (see ginStepRight() for an example
that fails), as _Bool forces the result to be 0/1. That happens in some
configurations of newer MSVC compilers. It's also problematic when
storing the result of such an expression in a narrower type.
Several gin macros have been declared in that style since gin's initial
commit in 8a3631f8d8.
There's a lot more macros like this, but this is the only one causing
regression test failures; and I don't want to commit and backpatch a

The new bit indicates whether every tuple on the page is already frozen.
It is cleared only when the all-visible bit is cleared, and it can be
set only when we vacuum a page and find that every tuple on that page is
both visible to every transaction and in no need of any future
vacuuming.
A future commit will use this new bit to optimize away full-table scans
that would otherwise be triggered by XID wraparound considerations. A
page which is merely all-visible must still be scanned in that case, but
a page which is all-frozen need not be. This commit does not attempt
that optimization, although that optimization is the goal here. It
seems better to get the basic infrastructure in place first.

The amvalidate functions added in commit 65c5fcd353 were on the
crude side. Improve them in a few ways:
* Perform signature checking for operators and support functions.
* Apply more thorough checks for missing operators and functions,
where possible.
* Instead of reporting problems as ERRORs, report most problems as INFO
messages and make the amvalidate function return FALSE. This allows
more than one problem to be discovered per run.
* Report object names rather than OIDs, and work a bit harder on making
the messages understandable.
Also, remove a few more opr_sanity regression test queries that are

This patch reduces pg_am to just two columns, a name and a handler
function. All the data formerly obtained from pg_am is now provided
in a C struct returned by the handler function. This is similar to
the designs we've adopted for FDWs and tablesample methods. There
are multiple advantages. For one, the index AM's support functions
are now simple C functions, making them faster to call and much less
error-prone, since the C compiler can now check function signatures.
For another, this will make it far more practical to define index access
methods in installable extensions.
A disadvantage is that SQL-level code can no longer see attributes
of index AMs; in particular, some of the crosschecks in the opr_sanity
regression test are no longer possible from SQL. We've addressed that
by adding a facility for the index AM to perform such checks instead.
(Much more could be done in that line, but for now we're content if the
amvalidate functions more or less replace what opr_sanity used to do.)
We might also want to expose some sort of reporting functionality, but
this patch doesn't do that.

Replay of XLOG_BTREE_VACUUM during Hot Standby was previously thought to require
complex interlocking that matched the requirements on the master. This required
an O(N) operation that became a significant problem with large indexes, causing
replication delays of seconds or in some cases minutes while the
XLOG_BTREE_VACUUM was replayed.
This commit skips the “pin scan” that was previously required, by observing in
detail when and how it is safe to do so, with full documentation. The pin scan
is skipped only in replay; the VACUUM code path on master is not touched here.
The current commit still performs the pin scan for toast indexes, though this
can also be avoided if we recheck scans on toast indexes. Later patch will
address this.
No tests included. Manual tests using an additional patch to view WAL records

I could have gone for a more localized fix that just added a "startup"
