Optimize pg_comp_crc32c_sse42 routine slightly, and also use it on x86.
Eliminate the separate 'len' variable from the loops, and also use the 4
byte instruction. This shaves off a few more cycles. Even though this
routine that uses the special SSE 4.2 instructions is much faster than a
generic routine, it's still a hot spot, so let's make it as fast as
possible.
Change the configure test to not test _mm_crc32_u64. That variant is only
available in the 64-bit x86-64 architecture, not in 32-bit x86. Modify
pg_comp_crc32c_sse42 so that it only uses _mm_crc32_u64 on x86-64. With
these changes, the SSE accelerated CRC-32C implementation can also be used
on 32-bit x86 systems.
Try to fix the CRC-32C autoconf magic for icc compiler.
On gcc and clang, the _mm_crc32_u8 and _mm_crc32_u64 intrinsics are not
defined at all, when not building with -msse4.2. But on icc, they are.
So we cannot assume that if those intrinsics are defined, we can always use
them safely, we might still need the runtime check.
To fix, check if the __SSE_4_2__ preprocessor symbol is defined. That's
supposed to be defined only when the compiler is targeting a processor that
has SSE 4.2 support.
I introduced this ancient typo in subtrans.c and later propagated it to
multixact.c. I fixed the latter in f741300c, but only back to 9.3;
backpatch to all supported branches for consistency.
Use Intel SSE 4.2 CRC instructions where available.
Modern x86 and x86-64 processors with SSE 4.2 support have special
instructions, crc32b and crc32q, for calculating CRC-32C. They greatly
speed up CRC calculation.
Whether the instructions can be used or not depends on the compiler and the
target architecture. If generation of SSE 4.2 instructions is allowed for
the target (-msse4.2 flag on gcc and clang), use them. If they are not
allowed by default, but the compiler supports the -msse4.2 flag to enable
them, compile just the CRC-32C function with -msse4.2 flag, and check at
runtime whether the processor we're running on supports it. If it doesn't,
fall back to the slicing-by-8 algorithm. (With the common defaults on
current operating systems, the runtime-check variant is what you get in
practice.)
Abhijit Menon-Sen, heavily modified by me, reviewed by Andres Freund.
Now that we use CRC-32C in WAL and the control file, the "traditional" and
"legacy" CRC-32 variants are not used in any frontend programs anymore.
Move the code for those back from src/common to src/backend/utils/hash.
Also move the slicing-by-8 implementation (back) to src/port. This is in
preparation for next patch that will add another implementation that uses
Intel SSE 4.2 instructions to calculate CRC-32C, where available.
* Don't pass arguments to prove, since that's not supported on perl 5.8

* Use eq rather than == for string comparison. This thinko caused the remote

Don't archive bogus recycled or preallocated files after timeline switch.
After a timeline switch, we would leave behind recycled WAL segments that
are in the future, but on the old timeline. After promotion, and after they
become old enough to be recycled again, we would notice that they don't have
a .ready or .done file, create a .ready file for them, and archive them.
That's bogus, because the files contain garbage, recycled from an older
timeline (or prealloced as zeros). We shouldn't archive such files.
This could happen when we're following a timeline switch during replay, or
when we switch to new timeline at end-of-recovery.
To fix, whenever we switch to a new timeline, scan the data directory for
WAL segments on the old timeline, but with a higher segment number, and
remove them. Those don't belong to our timeline history, and are most
likely bogus recycled or preallocated files. They could also be valid files
that we streamed from the primary ahead of time, but in any case, they're
not needed to recover to the new timeline.

Optimize locking a tuple already locked by another subxact
Locking and updating the same tuple repeatedly led to some strange
multixacts being created which had several subtransactions of the same
parent transaction holding locks of the same strength. However,
once a subxact of the current transaction holds a lock of a given
strength, it's not necessary to acquire the same lock again. This made
some coding patterns much slower than required.
The fix is twofold. First we change HeapTupleSatisfiesUpdate to return
HeapTupleBeingUpdated for the case where the current transaction is
already a single-xid locker for the given tuple; it used to return
HeapTupleMayBeUpdated for that case. The new logic is simpler, and the
change to pgrowlocks is a testament to that: previously we needed to
check for the single-xid locker separately in a very ugly way. That
test is simpler now.
As fallout from the HTSU change, some of its callers need to be amended
so that tuple-locked-by-own-transaction is taken into account in the
BeingUpdated case rather than the MayBeUpdated case. For many of them
there is no difference; but heap_delete() and heap_update now check
explicitely and do not grab tuple lock in that case.
The HTSU change also means that routine MultiXactHasRunningRemoteMembers
introduced in commit 11ac4c73cb895 is no longer necessary and can be
removed; the case that used to require it is now handled naturally as
result of the changes to heap_delete and heap_update.
The second part of the fix to the performance issue is to adjust
heap_lock_tuple to avoid the slowness:
1. Previously we checked for the case that our own transaction already
held a strong enough lock and returned MayBeUpdated, but only in the
multixact case. Now we do it for the plain Xid case as well, which
saves having to LockTuple.
2. If the current transaction is the only locker of the tuple (but with
a lock not as strong as what we need; otherwise it would have been
caught in the check mentioned above), we can skip sleeping on the
multixact, and instead go straight to create an updated multixact with
the additional lock strength.
3. Most importantly, make sure that both the single-xid-locker case and
the multixact-locker case optimization are applied always. We do this
by checking both in a single place, rather than them appearing in two
separate portions of the routine -- something that is made possible by
the HeapTupleSatisfiesUpdate API change. Previously we would only check
for the single-xid case when HTSU returned MayBeUpdated, and only
checked for the multixact case when HTSU returned BeingUpdated. This
was at odds with what HTSU actually returned in one case: if our own
transaction was locker in a multixact, it returned MayBeUpdated, so the
optimization never applied. This is what led to the large multixacts in
the first place.

Fix incorrect matching of subexpressions in outer-join plan nodes.
Previously we would re-use input subexpressions in all expression trees
attached to a Join plan node. However, if it's an outer join and the
subexpression appears in the nullable-side input, this is potentially
incorrect for apparently-matching subexpressions that came from above
the outer join (ie, targetlist and qpqual expressions), because the
executor will treat the subexpression value as NULL when maybe it should
not be.
The case is fairly hard to hit because (a) you need a non-strict
subexpression (else NULL is correct), and (b) we don't usually compute
expressions in the outputs of non-toplevel plan nodes. But we might do
so if the expressions are sort keys for a mergejoin, for example.
Probably in the long run we should make a more explicit distinction between
Vars appearing above and below an outer join, but that will be a major
planner redesign and not at all back-patchable. For the moment, just hack
set_join_references so that it will not match any non-Var expressions
coming from nullable inputs to expressions that came from above the join.

Fix rare startup failure induced by MVCC-catalog-scans patch.
While a new backend nominally participates in sinval signaling starting
from the SharedInvalBackendInit call near the top of InitPostgres, it

or relcache, which by definition won't have loaded any data from or about
such catalogs before that point. However, commit 568d4138c646cd7c
introduced a mechanism for re-using MVCC snapshots for catalog scans, and
made invalidation of those depend on recognizing relevant sinval messages.
So it's possible to establish a catalog snapshot to read pg_authid and
pg_database, then before we set MyDatabaseId, receive sinval messages that
should result in invalidating that snapshot --- but do not, because we
don't realize they are for our database. This mechanism explains the
intermittent buildfarm failures we've seen since commit 31eae6028eca4365.
That commit was not itself at fault, but it introduced a new regression
test that does reconnections concurrently with the "vacuum full pg_am"

Define integer limits independently from the system definitions.
In 83ff1618 we defined integer limits iff they're not provided by the
system. That turns out not to be the greatest idea because there's
different ways some datatypes can be represented. E.g. on OSX PG's 64bit
datatype will be a 'long int', but OSX unconditionally uses 'long
long'. That disparity then can lead to warnings, e.g. around printf
formats.
One way to fix that would be to back int64 using stdint.h's
int64_t. While a good idea it's not that easy to implement. We would
e.g. need to include stdint.h in our external headers, which we don't
today. Also computing the correct int64 printf formats in that case is

Instead simply prefix the integer limits with PG_ and define them

Fix both issues by moving the _hash_getnewbuf() call to just before we
modify the metapage in _hash_expandtable().
Unfortunately there's still a large problem here, which is that we could
also incur ENOSPC while trying to get an overflow page for the new bucket.
That would leave the index corrupt in a more subtle way, namely that some
index tuples that should be in the new bucket might still be in the old
one. Fixing that seems substantially more difficult; even preallocating as

expressions. Therefore, favor correctness over legibility and dump
such constants in quotes except in the limited cases where they'll
be interpreted as the same type even without any casting.
This results in assorted small changes in the regression test outputs,
and will affect display of user-defined views and rules similarly.
The odds of that causing problems in the field seem non-negligible;
given the lack of previous complaints, it seems best not to change
this in the back branches.

Fix rare core dump in BackendIdGetTransactionIds().
BackendIdGetTransactionIds() neglected the possibility that the PROC
pointer in a ProcState array entry is null. In current usage, this could
only crash if the other backend had exited since pgstat_read_current_status
saw it as active, which is a pretty narrow window. But it's reachable in
the field, per bug #12918 from Vladimir Borodin.
Back-patch to 9.4 where the faulty code was introduced.

Fix multiple bugs and infelicities in pg_rewind.
Bugs all spotted by Coverity, including wrong realloc() size request
and memory leaks. Cosmetic improvements by me.
The usage of the global variable "filemap" here is still pretty awful,
but at least I got rid of the gratuitous aliasing in several routines
(which was helping to annoy Coverity, as well as being a bug risk).

Add vacuum_delay_point call in compute_index_stats's per-sample-row loop.
Slow functions in index expressions might cause this loop to take long
enough to make it worth being cancellable. Probably it would be enough
to call CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS here, but for consistency with other
per-sample-row loops in this file, let's use vacuum_delay_point.
Report and patch by Jeff Janes. Back-patch to all supported branches.

Make ginbuild's funcCtx be independent of its tmpCtx.
Previously the funcCtx was a child of the tmpCtx, but that was broken
by commit eaa5808e8ec4e82ce1a87103a6b6f687666e4e4c, which made
MemoryContextReset() delete, not reset, child contexts. The behavior of
having a tmpCtx reset also clear the other context seems rather dubious
anyway, so let's just disentangle them. Per report from Erik Rijkers.
In passing, fix badly-inaccurate comments about these contexts.

Minor code cleanups in pgbench expression support.
Get rid of unnecessary expr_yylex declaration (we haven't supported
flex 2.5.4 in a long time, and even if we still did, the declaration in
pgbench.h makes this one unnecessary and inappropriate). Fix copyright
dates, improve some layout choices, etc.

Better fix for misuse of Float8GetDatumFast().
We can use that macro as long as we put the value into a local variable.
Commit 735cd6128 was not wrong on its own terms, but I think this way
looks nicer, and it should save a few cycles on 32-bit machines.

Add a pager_min_lines setting to psql
If set, the pager will not be used unless this many lines are to be
displayed, even if that is more than the screen depth. Default is zero,
meaning it's disabled.
There is probably more work to be done in giving the user control over
when the pager is used, particularly when wide output forces use of the
pager regardless of how many lines there are, but this is a start.

Use standard librart sqrt function in pg_stat_statements
The stddev calculation included a faster but unportable sqrt function.
This is not worth the extra effort, and won't work everywhere. If the
standard library function is good enough for the SQL function it
should be good enough here too.
