I don't think that's necessarily the right conclusion. What's quite possibly 
happening is that you do not see the external isinf function anymore, because 
it is implemented as an intrinsic,  but that there still are more computations 
being done. Due to the changed order of the isinf checks. You'd have to compare 
with 11 using the same compiler.

Re: In PG12, query with float calculations is slower than PG11

2020-02-06 Thread keisuke kuroda
Hi,

I have been testing with newer compiler (clang-7)
and result is a bit different at least with clang-7.
Compiling PG 12.1 (even without patch) with clang-7
results in __isinf() no longer being a bottleneck,
that is, you don't see it in profiler at all.

So, there is no issue for people who use the modern clang toolchain,
but maybe that's not everyone.
So there would still be some interest in doing something about this.

Hm. At the very least it'd have to be restricted to only match locks in
the same database - e.g. for parallel installcheck it is common for
there to be other concurrent tests.  I'll add that when committing, no
need for a new version.

I'm also a bit concerned that adding the pg_locks query would mean we can't
run the test in parallel with others, if we ever finally get around to
adding a parallel isolationtester schedule (which is really needed, it's
too slow as is).
https://postgr.es/m/20180124231006.z7spaz5gkzbdvob5@alvherre.pgsql
But I guess we we'll just deal with not running this test in parallel.

It hasn't caused failures so far, I think. Or are you saying you think
it's more likely to cause failures in the added tests?

Had planned to commit now, but I'm not able to think through the state
transitions at this hour, apparently :(. I'll try to do it tomorrow
morning.

Could you expand on what you mean here? Are you saying that you got
significantly better optimization results by doing function optimization
early on?  That'd be surprising imo?

I've comitted a (somewhat evolved) version of this patch. I think it
really improves the code!

My changes largely were to get rid of the LLVMGetNamedFunction() added
to each opcode implementation, to also convert the ExecEval* functions
we were calling directly, to remove the other functions in llvmjit.h,
and finally to rebase it onto master, from the patch series in this
thread.

I do wonder about adding a variadic wrapper like the one introduced here
more widely, seems like it could simplify a number of places. If we then
redirected all function calls through a common wrapper, for LLVMBuildCall,
that also validated parameter count (and perhaps types), I think it'd be
easier to develop...

Thanks!

Yeah, actually, when calling table_beginscan_tid(), nkeys is set to 0
and * key is set to NULL,
so these are not used at the moment.

I removed unnecessary arguments from table_beginscan_tid().

It seems that nkeys and key are useless. Since every table_beginscan_*

table_beginscan_tid?

I think you applied the first patch, which I corrected here.

I am still not 100% clear, it is better if you can prepare a separate

Though I couldn't see that, but actually that can happen.

That happens if:

  all potentially-sync standbys have lower priority than the number of
  syncrep list members.

  the number of sync standbys is short.

  the number of the potentially-sync standbys is enough.

If all of the above are true, the while (priority <-= lowest_priority)
doesn't loops and goes into the assertion.

If we update the priority of all walsenders at once, the other
walsenders may calculate required LSN using the old configuration with
the new priority. I'm not sure the probability of happening this, but
that causes similar situation.

The priority calcuation happens for every standby repliy. So if
there're some standbys with wrong priority, They will catch up at
receiving the next standby reply. Thus just asuuming walsenders with
out-of-range priority as non-sync standbys can "fix" it, I believe.
pg_stat_get_wal_senders() reveals such inconsistent state but I don't
think it's not worth addressing.

The attached does that. Isn't it enough?

Subject: [PATCH] Fix handling of tentative state after chainging
 synchronous_standby_names

When reloading config after updating synchronous_standby_names,
walsenders don't recalculate their sync-priority exactly at the same
time. SyncRepGetSyncStandbysPriority may fail under such inconsistent
situation.  Fix that by assuming a walsender as non-sync if it has a
priority number that is impossible against the
synchronous_standby_names.

Nothing happens without a reason.  a1c1af2 is the original commit, and
the thread is here:
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/ca+tgmoapgkdy_z0w9mhqzcgso2t_t-4_v36dxakim+x_fyp...@mail.gmail.com

By looking at the surroundings, there are a couple of assumptions
behind the timing of the shutdown for the workers and the leader. 
I have not studied much the details on that, but my guess is that it
makes the handling of the leader shutting down before its workers
easier.  Robert or Amit likely know all the details here.

Thanks for your check, and useful advise.
I was wondering if I should keep these flags, but I confirmed that I
can remove these from TidScan's flags.

Because, currently SO_TYPE_TIDSCAN is not used anywhere.
So I thought it might be better to avoid adding a new flag.
However, as you said, this flag may be useful for the future tid scan
feature (like [1])

Attach v4 patch. I re-added SO_TYPE_TIDSCAN to ScanOptions and
table_beginscan_tid.
And I remove unnecessary SO_ALLOW_* flags.

[PATCH] Support built control file in PGXS VPATH builds

2020-02-06 Thread Craig Ringer
pgxs.mk assumes that if $(EXTENSION) is set, a file
$(EXTENSION).control must exist in the $(srcdir).

Extensions that need to support multiple Pg versions, multiple
variants of the extension, etc may need to template their extension
control file. PGXS's assumption prevents those extensions from
supporting read-only source trees for true vpath builds.

A workaround is to ignore the EXTENSION field in PGXS and leave it
unset, then set MODULEDIR to the value you would've set EXTENSION to
and install your control file with DATA_built . But that's more than a
tad ugly.

The attached patch fixes this by having PGXS resolve
$(EXTENSION).control along the VPATH.

Before:

/usr/bin/install: cannot stat
'/the/srcdir/path/the_extension.control': No such file or directory
make: *** [/the/postgres/path/lib/postgresql/pgxs/src/makefiles/pgxs.mk:229:
install] Error 1

After: no error, extension control file is found in builddir.

There's no reference to $(EXTENSION) outside pgxs.mk so this shouldn't
have any wider consequences.

The extension is responsible for the build rule for the control file,
like in DATA_built etc.

Please backpatch this build fix.

I could supply an alternative patch that follows PGXS's existing
convention of using a _built suffix, allowing the extension to specify
either EXTENSION or EXTENSION_built. For backward compat we'd have to
allow both to be set so long as they have the same value. Personally I
dislike this pattern and prefer to just resolve it in normal Make
fashion without caring if it's a built file or not, especially for the
EXTENSION var, so I'd prefer the first variant.

Frankly I'd rather we got rid of all the $(VAR) and $(VAR_built) stuff
entirely and just let make do proper vpath resolution. But I'm sure
it's that way for a reason...

I have a few other cleanup/fixup patches in the pipe for PGXS and
Makefile.global but I have to tidy them up a bit first. One to
eliminate undefined variables use, another to allow vpath directives
to be used instead of the big VPATH variable hammer. Keep an eye out.

Subject: [PATCH] PGXS support for built control files

Teach PGXS how to find the extension control file via the vpath,
rather than assuming that it's always in the $(srcdir).

This allows extensions with more complex needs to template their extension
files without breaking vpath support.

Extensions can work around this issue on older PostgreSQL releases by:

* Setting MODULE_DIR instead of EXTENSION
* Adding their extension control file to DATA_built

I don't think I was clear.  My original doc review patches were limited to
this:

STABLE..REL_12_STABLE.  So after a few minutes earlier today of cherry-pick, I
concluded that only bloom.sgml is applicable further back than v12.  Probably,
I either noticed that minor issue at the same time as nearby doc changes in
v12(?), or maybe noticed that issue later, independently of doc review, but
then tacked it on to the previous commit, for lack of any better place.

If we decide to backpatch, then why not try to backpatch as far as
possible (till 9.5)?  If so, then it would be better to separate
changes which can be backpatched till 9.5, if that is tedious, then
maybe we can just back-patch (in 12) bloom.sgml change as a separate

Perhaps this has already been discussed (I only briefly looked): I'd
strongly advise against having any new infrastrure depend on
pgcrypto. Its code quality imo is well below our standards and contains
serious red flags like very outdated copies of cryptography algorithm
implementations.  I think we should consider deprecating and removing
it, not expanding its use.  It certainly shouldn't be involved in any
potential disk encryption system at a later stage.

This feature protects data from disk thefts but cannot protect data
from attackers who are able to access PostgreSQL server. In this
design application side still is responsible for managing the wrapped
secret in order to protect it from attackers. This is the same as when
we use pgcrypto now. The difference is that data is safe even if
attackers steal the wrapped secret and the disk. The data cannot be
decrypted either without the passphrase which can be stored to other
key management systems or without accessing postgres server. IOW for
example, attackers can get the data if they get the wrapped secret
managed by application side then run pg_kmgr_unwrap() to get the
secret and then steal the disk.

Another idea we discussed is to internally integrate pgcrypto with the
key management system. That is, the key management system has one
master key and provides a C function to pass the master key to other
postgres modules. pgcrypto uses that function and provides new
encryption and decryption functions something like
pg_encrypt_with_key() and pg_decrypt_with_key(). Which
encrypts/decrypts the given data by the master key stored in database
cluster. That way user still doesn't have to know the encryption key
and we can protect data from disk thefts. But the down side would be
that we have only one encryption key and that we might need to change
pgcrypto much.

Hm. This still leaves us with one source of SLRU_SEEK_FAILED. And that's
really just for getting the file size. Should we rename that?

Perhaps we should just replace lseek(SEEK_END) with fstat()? Or at least
one wrapper function for getting the size? It seems ugly to change fd
positions just for the purpose of getting file sizes (and also implies
more kernel level locking, I believe).

The v1 would work just fine considering that, as the code would be
invoked in a context where all GUCs are already loaded.  That's too
late before the release though, so I have reverted 41aadee, and
attached is a new patch to consider with improvements compared to v1

FWIW, I am not opposed to the patch at all. I would be quite happy to
get rid of a bunch of code in tuplesort.c that apparently isn't really
necessary anymore (by removing polyphase merge).

All I meant back in 2016 was that "pausing" tapes was orthogonal to my
own idea of capping the number of tapes that could be used by
tuplesort.c. The 500 MAXORDER cap thing hadn't been committed yet when
I explained this in the message you linked to, and it wasn't clear if
it would ever be committed (Robert committed it about a month
afterwards, as it turned out). Capping the size of the merge heap made
marginal sorts faster overall, since a more cache efficient merge heap
more than made up for having more than one merge pass overall (thanks
to numerous optimizations added in 2016, some of which were your
work).

I also said that the absolute overhead of tapes was not that important
back in 2016. Using many tapes within tuplesort.c can never happen
anyway (with the 500 MAXORDER cap). Maybe the use of logtape.c by hash
aggregate changes the picture there now. Even if it doesn't, I still
think that your patch is a good idea.

Re: Internal key management system

2020-02-06 Thread Cary Huang
Since the user does not need to know the master secret key used to cipher the 
data, I don't think we should expose "pg_kmgr_unwrap("")" SQL function to 
the user at all.

The wrapped key "" is stored in control data and it is possible to obtain 
by malicious user and steal the key by running SELECT pg_kmgr_unwrap(""). 

Even the user is righteous, it may not be very straightforward for that user to 
obtain the wrapped key "" to use in the unwrap function.



pg_kmgr_(un)wrap function is in discussion because encrypt and decrypt function 
require the master secret key as input argument. 

I would suggest using cluster passphrase as input instead of master key, so the 
user does not have to obtain the master key using pg_kmgr_unwrap("") in 
order to use the encrypt and decrypt function. 

The passphrase is in fact not stored anywhere in the system and we have to be 
careful that this passphrase is not shown in any activity log



so instead of:

--


INSERT INTO tbl VALUES (pg_encrypt('user data', pg_kmgr_unwrap('x'));

SELECT pg_decrypt(secret_column, pg_kmgr_unwrap('x')) FROM tbl;



it would become:

--

INSERT INTO tbl VALUES (pg_encrypt('user data', 'cluster_pass_phrase');

SELECT pg_decrypt(secret_column, 'cluster_pass_phrase') FROM tbl;



pg_decrypt will then have to:



1. derive the cluster pass phrase into KEK and HMAC key 

2. verify pass phrase by comparing MAC

3. unwrap the key - Sehrope suggests a good approach to make wrap/unwrap 
function more secure by adding MAC verification and randomed IV instead of 
default. I think it is good

4. decrypt the data

5. return



Using passphrase instead of master key to encrypt and decrypt function will 
also make front end tool integration simpler, as the front end tool also do not 
need to know the master key so it does not need to derive KEK or unwrap the 
key...etc. 

Not sure if you guys agree?



Thanks!

It does still strike me as not great that we can get a different

FWIW, I don't really see why it would be bad to have 0 mean that

Re: Dumping/restoring fails on inherited generated column

This is fixed by the attached new patch.  It needed an additional check 
in flagInhAttrs().



This is showing us at least two distinct problems.  Now as for
"gtest30_1", what we have is that in the parent table "gtest30", column b
exists but it has no default; the generated property is only added
at the child table gtest30_1.  So we need to emit ALTER COLUMN SET
GENERATED ALWAYS for gtest30_1.b.  HEAD is already doing the wrong
thing there (it's emitting the expression, but as a plain default
not GENERATED).  And this patch makes it emit nothing, even worse.
I think the key point here is that "attislocal" refers to whether the
column itself is locally defined, not to whether its default is.


This is a bit of a mess.  Let me explain my thinking on generated 
columns versus inheritance.


If a parent table has a generated column, then any inherited column must 
also be generated and use the same expression.  (Otherwise querying the 
parent table would produce results that are inconsistent with the 
generation expression if the rows come from the child table.)


If a parent table has a column that is not generated, then I think it 
would be semantically sound if a child table had that same column but 
generated.  However, I think it would be very tricky to support this 
correctly, and it doesn't seem useful enough, so I'd rather not do it.


That's what the gtest30_1 case above shows.  It's not even clear whether 
it's possible to dump this correctly in all cases because the syntax 
that you allude to "turn this existing column into a generated column" 
does not exist.


Note that the gtest30 test case is new in master.  I'm a bit confused 
why things were done that way, and I'll need to revisit this.  I've also 
found a few more issues with how certain combinations of DDL can create 
similar situations that arguably don't make sense, and I'll continue to 
look into those.  Basically, my contention is that gtest30_1 should not 
be allowed to exist like that.


However, the pg_dump issue is separate from those because it affects a 
case that is clearly legitimate.  So assuming that we end up agreeing on 
a version of the attached pg_dump patch, I would like to get that into 
the next minor releases and then investigate the other issues separately.

Subject: [PATCH v3] pg_dump: Fix dumping of inherited generated columns

Generation expressions of generated columns are always inherited, so
there is no need to set them separately in child tables, and there is
no syntax to do so either.  The code previously used the code paths
for the handling of default values, for which different rules apply;
in particular it might want to set a default value explicitly for an
inherited column.  For generated columns, just skip all that.

I just happened to look at this patch while working on the release notes.
I think this is a bad idea and very probably creates worse problems than
it fixes.  As we have learned painfully in the past, you can't have GUC
check or assign hooks that look at other GUC variables, because that
creates order-of-operations problems.  If a postgresql.conf update is
trying to change both values (hardly an unlikely scenario, for this
pair of variables) then the checks are going to be comparing against the
old values of the other variables, leading to either incorrect rejections
of valid states or incorrect acceptances of invalid states.  It's pure
accident that the particular cases tested in the regression tests behave
sanely.

I think this should be reverted.  Perhaps there's a way to do it without
these problems, but we failed to find one in the past.

It can work if one of the GUCs is king, and the other one takes effect
only the first one is set to some value that means "ignore me". We
have a number of examples of that, e.g. autovacuum_work_mem,
autovacuum_vacuum_cost_limit.

I admit it's awkward. I think we possibly could still just make the size

We don't really have a good way to deal with GUCs where setting one
precludes the other, especially when those GUCs should be changable at
runtime :(.

Sorry, but, uh, what are you talking about?  Please tell me which single
standards violation I'm advocating for?

I was asking about the inlining bit because the first email of the topic
explained that as the problem, which I don't believe can be the full
explanation - and it turns out it isn't. As Amit Langote's followup
email explained, there's the whole issue of the order of checks being
inverted - which is clearly bad. And wholly unrelated to inlining.

And I asked about __isinf() being used because there are issues with
accidentally ending up with the non-intrinsic version of isinf() when
not using gcc, due to badly written standard library headers.

I'd first like to see some actual evidence of this being a problem,
rather than just the order of the checks.

I don't think that's necessarily a good idea. In fact, I think we should
probably do the exact opposite, and move the error messages further out
of line. All these otherwise very small functions having their own
ereports makes them much bigger. Our low code density, and the resulting
rate of itlb misses, is pretty significant cost (cf [1]).

master:
   textdata bss dec hex filename
  36124  44  65   362338d89 float.o
error messages moved out of line:
   textdata bss dec hex filename
  32883  44  65   3299280e0 float.o

Taking int4pl as an example - solely because it is simpler assembly to
look at - we get:

Well, if the previous coding was a deliberate attempt to dodge this
performance issue, the evidence seems to be well-concealed. Neither
the comments for that macro nor the related commit messages make any
mention of it. When subtle things like this are performance-critical,
good comments are pretty critical, too.

I think this is kind of awkward given that our GUC system attributes
units to everything. It'd sort of be nicer to have two separate GUCs,
one measured as a multiple and the other measured in bytes, but maybe
that's just exchanging one form of confusion for another.

They already are set to different sizes, so I don't really see how
that's something doable. The relevant bits of code are:

BufferAccessStrategy
GetAccessStrategy(BufferAccessStrategyType btype)
{
BufferAccessStrategy strategy;
int ring_size;

/*
 * Select ring size to use.  See buffer/README for rationales.
 *
 * Note: if you change the ring size for BAS_BULKREAD, see also

{
case BAS_NORMAL:
/* if someone asks for NORMAL, just give 'em a 
"default" object */
return NULL;

case BAS_BULKREAD:
ring_size = 256 * 1024 / BLCKSZ;
break;
case BAS_BULKWRITE:
ring_size = 16 * 1024 * 1024 / BLCKSZ;
break;
case BAS_VACUUM:
ring_size = 256 * 1024 / BLCKSZ;
break;

and

I honestly don't quite get that. What precisely is this addressing? I
mean fine, I can add that, but it's sufficiently more complicated than
the GUCs, and I don't really forsee that being particularly useful to
tune on a per table basis. A lot of the reason behind having the
ringbuffers is about managing the whole system impact, rather than
making individual table fast/slow.

Re: In PG12, query with float calculations is slower than PG11

2020-02-06 Thread Tom Lane
So it appears to me that what commit 6bf0bc842 did in this area was
not just wrong, but disastrously so.  Before that, we had a macro that
evaluated isinf(val) before it evaluated the inf_is_valid condition.
Now we have check_float[48]_val which do it the other way around.
That would be okay if the inf_is_valid condition were cheap to
evaluate, but in common code paths it's actually twice as expensive
as isinf().

Andres seems to be of the opinion that the compiler should be willing
to ignore the semantic requirements of the C standard in order
to rearrange the code back into the cheaper order.  That sounds like
wishful thinking to me ... even if it actually works on his compiler,
it certainly isn't going to work for everyone.

The patch looks unduly invasive to me, but I think that it might be
right that we should go back to a macro-based implementation, because
otherwise we don't have a good way to be certain that the function
parameter won't get evaluated first.  (Another reason to do so is
so that the file/line numbers generated for the error reports go back
to being at least a little bit useful.)  We could use local variables
within the macro to avoid double evals, if anyone thinks that's
actually important --- I don't.

I think the current code is probably also misusing unlikely(),
and that the right way would be more like

if (unlikely(isinf(val) && !(inf_is_valid)))

I wondered if it wouldn't be better if CLUSTER ON was stored in pg_class as the
Oid of a clustered index, rather than a boolean in pg_index.

That likely would've avoided (or at least exposed) this issue.
And avoids the possibility of having two indices marked as "clustered".
These would be more trivial:

I've tested predicate locking including promotion cases with v3 patch
and it works fine.

+table_beginscan_tid(Relation rel, Snapshot snapshot,
+   int nkeys, struct ScanKeyData *key)
+{
+   uint32  flags = SO_ALLOW_STRAT | SO_ALLOW_SYNC | SO_ALLOW_PAGEMODE;

IIUC setting SO_ALLOW_STRAT, SO_ALLOW_SYNC and SO_ALLOW_PAGEMODE has
no meaning during tid scan. I think v11 also should be the same.

Why did you remove SO_TYPE_TIDSCAN from the previous version patch? I
think it's better to add it and then we can set only SO_TYPE_TIDSCAN
to the scan option of tid scan.

Looks like the whole patch can be applied to master and v12 [0].

My original thread from last year was about docs added in v12, so bloom.sgml is
the only user-facing doc which can be backpatched.  README.parallel and
bufmgr.c changes could be backpatched but I agree it's not necessary.

Note, the bloom typo seems to complete a change that was started here:

going to do skip scan. But I found that the function doesn't have

replication_origin and replication_origin_lsn usage on subscriber

2020-02-06 Thread Amit Kapila
During logical decoding, we send replication_origin and
replication_origin_lsn when we decode commit.  In pgoutput_begin_txn,
we send values for these two but never used on the subscriber side.
Though we have provided a function (logicalrep_read_origin) to read
these two values but that is not used in code anywhere.

I think this is primarily for external application usage, but it is
not very clear how will they use it.  As far as I understand, the
value of origin can be used to avoid loops in bi-directional
replication, and origin_lsn can be used to track how far subscriber
has recevied changes.  I am not sure about this and particularly how
origin_lsn can be used in external applications.

This has come up in the discussion of the "logical streaming of large
in-progress transactions" [1]. Basically, we are not sure when to send
these values during streaming as we don't know its clear usage.

Thoughts?

Re: [HACKERS] WIP: Aggregation push-down

2020-02-06 Thread Richard Guo
Hi,

I've been looking at the 'make_join_rel()' part of the patch, and I'm
aware that, if we are joining A and B, a 'grouped join rel (AB)' would
be created besides the 'plain join rel (AB)', and paths are added by 1)
applying partial aggregate to the paths of the 'plain join rel (AB)', or
2) joining grouped A to plain B or joining plain A to grouped B.

This is a smart idea. One issue I can see is that some logic would have
to be repeated several times. For example, the validity check for the
same proposed join would be performed at most three times by
join_is_legal().

I'm thinking of another idea that, instead of using a separate
RelOptInfo for the grouped rel, we add in RelOptInfo a
'grouped_pathlist' for the grouped paths, just like how we implement
parallel query via adding 'partial_pathlist'.

For base rel, if we decide it can produce grouped paths, we create the
grouped paths by applying partial aggregation to the paths in 'pathlist'
and add them into 'grouped_pathlist'.

For join rel (AB), we can create the grouped paths for it by:
1) joining a grouped path from 'A->grouped_pathlist' to a plain path
from 'B->pathlist', or vice versa;
2) applying partial aggregation to the paths in '(AB)->pathlist'.

This is basically the same idea, just moves the grouped paths from the
grouped rel to a 'grouped_pathlist'. With it we should not need to make
any code changes to 'make_join_rel()'. Most code changes would happen in
'add_paths_to_joinrel()'.

Will this idea work? Is it better or worse?

Thanks
Richard

While on the topic, is there any reason why the backend stays a group leader
for the rest of its lifetime, and should we change that?

Yeah I thought of these three values but I'm also not sure it's worth for users.

If we have these functions returning the values respectively, when we
want to check if an oid is assigned during initdb we will end up with
doing something like 'WHERE oid >= pg_first_bootstrap_oid() and oid <
pg_first_normal_oid()', which is not intuitive, I think. Users have to
remember the order of these values.

It's interesting that you wrote a patch to pause the tapes a while ago.

Is pause/resume functionality required, or is it good enough that
rewinding a tape frees the buffer, to be lazily allocated later?


It wasn't strictly required for what I was hacking on then. IIRC it
