The idea is to encourage more the use of these new routines across the
tree, as these offer stronger type safety guarantees than palloc().
This batch of changes includes most of the trivial changes suggested by
the author for src/backend/.
A total of 334 files are updated here. Among these files, 48 of them
have their build change slightly; these are caused by line number
changes as the new allocation formulas are simpler, shaving around 100
lines of code in total.
Similar work has been done in 0c3c5c3b06a3 and 31d3847a37be.

This removes some casts where the input already has the same type as
the type specified by the cast. Their presence could cause risks of
hiding actual type mismatches in the future or silently discarding
qualifiers. It also improves readability. Same kind of idea as
7f798aca1d5 and ef8fe693606. (This does not change all such
instances, but only those hand-picked by the author.)

The parallel GIN builds perform "freezing" of TID lists when merging
chunks built earlier. This means determining what part of the list can
no longer change, depending on the last received chunk. The frozen part
can be evicted from memory and written out.
The code attempted to freeze items right before merging the old and new
TID list, after already attempting to trim the current buffer. That
means part of the data may get frozen based on the new TID list, but
will be trimmed later (on next loop). This increases memory usage.
This inverts the order, so that we freeze data first (before trimming).
The benefits are likely relatively small, but it's also virtually free
with no other downsides.

When building intermediate TID lists during parallel GIN builds, split
the sorted lists into smaller chunks, to limit the amount of memory
needed when merging the chunks later.
The leader may need to keep in memory up to one chunk per worker, and
possibly one extra chunk (before evicting some of the data). The code
processing item pointers uses regular palloc/repalloc calls, which means
it's subject to the MaxAllocSize (1GB) limit.
We could fix this by allowing huge allocations, but that'd require
changes in many places without much benefit. Larger chunks do not
actually improve performance, so the memory usage would be wasted.
Fixed by limiting the chunk size to not hit MaxAllocSize. Each worker
gets a fair share.
This requires remembering the number of participating workers, in a
place that can be accessed from the callback. Luckily, the bs_worker_id
field in GinBuildState was unused, so repurpose that.
Report by Greg Smith, investigation and fix by me. Batchpatched to 18,
where parallel GIN builds were introduced.

5983a4cff added CompactAttribute for storing commonly used fields from
FormData_pg_attribute. 5983a4cff didn't go to the trouble of adjusting
every location where we can use CompactAttribute rather than
FormData_pg_attribute, so here we change the remaining ones.
There are some locations where I've left the code using
FormData_pg_attribute. These are mostly in the ALTER TABLE code. Using
CompactAttribute here seems more risky as often the TupleDesc is being
changed and those changes may not have been flushed to the
CompactAttribute yet.
I've also left record_recv(), record_send(), record_cmp(), record_eq()
and record_image_eq() alone as it's not clear to me that accessing the
CompactAttribute is a win here due to the FormData_pg_attribute still
having to be accessed for most cases. Switching the relevant parts to
use CompactAttribute would result in having to access both for common
cases. Careful benchmarking may reveal that something can be done to
make this better, but in absence of that, the safer option is to leave
these alone.
In ReorderBufferToastReplace(), there was a check to skip attnums < 0
while looping over the TupleDesc. Doing this is redundant since
TupleDescs don't store < 0 attnums. Removing that code allows us to
move to using CompactAttribute.
The change in validateDomainCheckConstraint() just moves fetching the
FormData_pg_attribute into the ERROR path, which is cold due to calling
errstart_cold() and results in code being moved out of the common path.

Previously, we attempted to form a posting list tuple even when
ginCompressPostingList() failed to compress the posting list due to
its size. While there was no functional failure, it always wasted one
GinFormTuple() call when item pointers didn't fit in a posting list
tuple.
This commit ensures that a GIN index tuple is formed only when all
item pointers in the posting list are successfully compressed.

Remove conditionally-compiled code for smaller Datum widths,
and simplify comments that describe cases no longer of interest.
I also fixed up a few more places that were not using
DatumGetIntXX where they should, and made some cosmetic
adjustments such as using sizeof(int64) not sizeof(Datum)
in places where that fit better with the surrounding code.
One thing I remembered while preparing this part is that SP-GiST
stores pass-by-value prefix keys as Datums, so that the on-disk
representation depends on sizeof(Datum). That's even more
unfortunate than the existing commentary makes it out to be,
because now there is a hazard that the change of sizeof(Datum)
will break SP-GiST indexes on 32-bit machines. It appears that
there are no existing SP-GiST opclasses that are actually
affected; and if there are some that I didn't find, the number
of installations that are using them on 32-bit machines is
doubtless tiny. So I'm proceeding on the assumption that we
can get away with this, but it's something to worry about.
(gininsert.c looks like it has a similar problem, but it's okay
because the "tuples" it's constructing are just transient data
within the tuplesort step. That's pretty poorly documented
though, so I added some comments.)

Macros like VARDATA() and VARSIZE() should be thought of as taking
values of type pointer to struct varlena or some other related struct.
The way they are implemented, you can pass anything to it and it will
cast it right. But this is in principle incorrect. To fix, add the
required DatumGetPointer() calls. Or in a couple of cases, remove
superfluous PointerGetDatum() calls.
It is planned in a subsequent patch to change macros like VARDATA()
and VARSIZE() to inline functions, which will enforce stricter typing.
This is in preparation for that.

To insert the merged GIN entries in _gin_parallel_merge, the leader
calls ginEntryInsert(). This may allocate memory, e.g. for a new leaf
tuple. This was allocated in the PortalContext, and kept until the end
of the index build. For most GIN indexes the amount of leaked memory is
negligible, but for custom opclasses with large keys it may cause OOMs.
Fixed by calling ginEntryInsert() in a temporary memory context, reset
after each insert. Other ginEntryInsert() callers do this too, except
that the context is reset after batches of inserts. More frequent resets
don't seem to hurt performance, it may even help it a bit.

Index builds are expected to respect maintenance_work_mem, just like
other maintenance operations. For serial builds this is done simply by
flushing the buffer in ginBuildCallback() into the index. But with
parallel builds it's more complicated, because there are multiple places
that can allocate memory.
ginBuildCallbackParallel() does the same thing as ginBuildCallback(),
except that the accumulated items are written into tuplesort. Then the
entries with the same key get merged - first in the worker, then in the
leader - and the TID lists may get (arbitrarily) long. It's unlikely it
would exceed the memory limit, but it's possible. We address this by
evicting some of the data if the list gets too long.
We can't simply dump the whole in-memory TID list. The GIN index bulk
insert code expects to see TIDs in monotonic order; it may fail if the
TIDs go backwards. If the TID lists overlap, evicting the whole current
TID list would break this (a later entry might add "old" TID values into
the already-written part).
In the workers this is not an issue, because the lists never overlap.
But the leader may see overlapping lists produced by the workers.
We can however derive a safe "horizon" TID - the entries (for a given
key) are sorted by (key, first TID), which means no future list can add
values before the last "first TID" we've seen. This patch tracks the
"frozen" part of the TID list, which we know can't change by merging
additional TID lists. If needed, we can evict this part of the list.
We don't want to do this too often - the smaller lists we evict, the
more expensive it'll be to merge them in the next step (especially in
the leader). Therefore we only trim the list if we have at least 1024
frozen items, and if the whole list is at least 64kB large.
These thresholds are somewhat arbitrary and conservative. We might
calculate the values from maintenance_work_mem, but tests show that does
not really improve anything (time, compression ratio, ...). So we stick
to these conservative values to release memory faster.

When serializing GIN tuples to tuplesorts during parallel index builds,
we can significantly reduce the amount of data by compressing the TID
lists. The GIN opclasses may produce a lot of data (depending on how
many keys are extracted from each row), and the TID compression is very
efficient and effective.
If the number of distinct keys is high, the first worker pass (reading
data from the table and writing them into a private tuplesort) may not
benefit from the compression very much. It is likely to spill data to
disk before the TID lists get long enough for the compression to help.
The second pass (writing the merged data into the shared tuplesort) is
more likely to benefit from compression.
The compression can be seen as a way to reduce the amount of disk space
needed by the parallel builds, because the data is written twice. First
into the per-worker tuplesorts, then into the shared tuplesort.

Allow using parallel workers to build a GIN index, similarly to BTREE
and BRIN. For large tables this may result in significant speedup when
the build is CPU-bound.
The work is divided so that each worker builds index entries on a subset
of the table, determined by the regular parallel scan used to read the
data. Each worker uses a local tuplesort to sort and merge the entries
for the same key. The TID lists do not overlap (for a given key), which
means the merge sort simply concatenates the two lists. The merged
entries are written into a shared tuplesort for the leader.
The leader needs to merge the sorted entries again, before writing them
into the index. But this way a significant part of the work happens in
the workers, and the leader is left with merging fewer large entries,
which is more efficient.
Most of the parallelism infrastructure is a simplified copy of the code
used by BTREE indexes, omitting the parts irrelevant for GIN indexes
(e.g. uniqueness checks).
Original patch by me, with reviews and substantial improvements by
Matthias van de Meent, certainly enough to make him a co-author.

Consistently use "Size" (or size_t, or in some places int64 or double)
as the type for variables holding memory allocation sizes. In most
places variables' data types were fine already, but we had an ancient
habit of computing bytes from kilobytes-units GUCs with code like
"work_mem * 1024L". That risks overflow on Win64 where they did not
make "long" as wide as "size_t". We worked around that by restricting
such GUCs' ranges, so you couldn't set work_mem et al higher than 2GB
on Win64. This patch removes that restriction, after replacing such
calculations with "work_mem * (Size) 1024" or variants of that.
It should be noted that this patch was constructed by searching
outwards from the GUCs that have MAX_KILOBYTES as upper limit.
So I can't positively guarantee there are no other places doing
memory-size arithmetic in int or long variables. I do however feel
pretty confident that increasing MAX_KILOBYTES on Win64 is safe now.
Also, nothing in our code should be dealing in multiple-gigabyte
allocations without authorization from a relevant GUC, so it seems
pretty likely that this search caught everything that could be at
risk of overflow.

While IWYU also suggests to *add* a bunch of #include's (which is its
main purpose), this patch does not do that. In some cases, a more
specific #include replaces another less specific one.
Some manual adjustments of the automatic result:
- IWYU currently doesn't know about includes that provide global
variable declarations (like -Wmissing-variable-declarations), so
those includes are being kept manually.
- All includes for port(ability) headers are being kept for now, to
play it safe.
- No changes of catalog/pg_foo.h to catalog/pg_foo_d.h, to keep the

Note that this patch touches just *.c files, so nothing declared in

As a small example, in src/backend/access/transam/rmgr.c, some IWYU
pragma annotations are added to handle a special case there.

Add an executor aminsert() hint mechanism that informs index AMs that
the incoming index tuple (the tuple that accompanies the hint) is not
being inserted by execution of an SQL statement that logically modifies
any of the index's key columns.
The hint is received by indexes when an UPDATE takes place that does not
apply an optimization like heapam's HOT (though only for indexes where
all key columns are logically unchanged). Any index tuple that receives
the hint on insert is expected to be a duplicate of at least one
existing older version that is needed for the same logical row. Related
versions will typically be stored on the same index page, at least
within index AMs that apply the hint.
Recognizing the difference between MVCC version churn duplicates and
true logical row duplicates at the index AM level can help with cleanup
of garbage index tuples. Cleanup can intelligently target tuples that
are likely to be garbage, without wasting too many cycles on less
promising tuples/pages (index pages with little or no version churn).
This is infrastructure for an upcoming commit that will teach nbtree to
perform bottom-up index deletion. No index AM actually applies the hint
just yet.

As the code stands, nEntries counts the number of ginEntryInsert()
calls, so that's what you end up with at the end of a GIN index build.
However, ginvacuumcleanup() recomputes nEntries as the number of
surviving leaf tuples, and that's generally consistent with the way that
gincostestimate() uses the value. So let's clearly define nEntries
as the number of leaf tuples, and therefore adjust ginEntryInsert() to
increment it only when we make a new one, not when we add TIDs into an
existing tuple or posting tree.
In practice this inconsistency probably has little impact, so I don't
feel a need to back-patch.

Instead of WAL-logging every modification during the build separately,
first build the index without any WAL-logging, and make a separate pass
through the index at the end, to write all pages to the WAL. This
significantly reduces the amount of WAL generated, and is usually also
faster, despite the extra I/O needed for the extra scan through the index.
WAL generated this way is also faster to replay.
For GiST, the LSN-NSN interlock makes this a little tricky. All pages must
be marked with a valid (i.e. non-zero) LSN, so that the parent-child
LSN-NSN interlock works correctly. We now use magic value 1 for that during
index build. Change the fake LSN counter to begin from 1000, so that 1 is
safely smaller than any real or fake LSN. 2 would've been enough for our
purposes, but let's reserve a bigger range, in case we need more special
values in the future.

This uses the progress reporting infrastructure added by c16dc1aca5e0,
adding support for CREATE INDEX and CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY.
There are two pieces to this: one is index-AM-agnostic, and the other is
AM-specific. The latter is fairly elaborate for btrees, including
reportage for parallel index builds and the separate phases that btree
index creation uses; other index AMs, which are much simpler in their
building procedures, have simplistic reporting only, but that seems
sufficient, at least for non-concurrent builds.
The index-AM-agnostic part is fairly complete, providing insight into
the CONCURRENTLY wait phases as well as block-based progress during the
index validation table scan. (The index validation index scan requires
patching each AM, which has not been included here.)

According to README we acquire predicate locks on entry tree leafs and posting
tree roots. However, when ginFindLeafPage() is going to lock leaf in exclusive
mode, then it checks root for conflicts regardless whether it's a entry or

separate argument of ginFindLeafPage().

The principle behind the locking was not very well thought-out, and not
documented. Add a section in the README to explain how it's supposed to
work, and change the code so that it actually works that way.
This fixes two bugs:
1. If fast update was turned on concurrently, subsequent inserts to the
pending list would not conflict with predicate locks that were acquired
earlier, on entry pages. The included 'predicate-gin-fastupdate' test
demonstrates that. To fix, make all scans acquire a predicate lock on
the metapage. That lock represents a scan of the pending list, whether
or not there is a pending list at the moment. Forget about the
optimization to skip locking/checking for locks, when fastupdate=off.
2. If a scan finds no match, it still needs to lock the entry page. The
point of predicate locks is to lock the gabs between values, whether
or not there is a match. The included 'predicate-gin-nomatch' test
tests that case.
In addition to those two bug fixes, this removes some unnecessary locking,
following the principle laid out in the README. Because all items in
a posting tree have the same key value, a lock on the posting tree root is
enough to cover all the items. (With a very large posting tree, it would
possibly be better to lock the posting tree leaf pages instead, so that a
"skip scan" with a query like "A & B", you could avoid unnecessary conflict
if a new tuple is inserted with A but !B. But let's keep this simple.)
Also, some spelling fixes.

Predicate locks are used on per page basis only if fastupdate = off, in
opposite case predicate lock on pending list will effectively lock whole index,
to reduce locking overhead, just lock a relation. Entry and posting trees are

to date shows that this can often be 2-3x faster than a serial
index build.
The model for deciding how many workers to use is fairly primitive
at present, but it's better than not having the feature. We can
refine it as we get more experience.

Backpatch-through: certain files through 9.3

The lower case spellings are C and C++ standard and are used in most
parts of the PostgreSQL sources. The upper case spellings are only used
in some files/modules. So standardize on the standard spellings.
The APIs for ICU, Perl, and Windows define their own TRUE and FALSE, so
those are left as is when using those APIs.
In code comments, we use the lower-case spelling for the C concepts and
keep the upper-case spelling for the SQL concepts.

Previously, these index types left the pd_lower field set to the default
SizeOfPageHeaderData, which is really a lie because it ought to point past
whatever space is being used for metadata. The coding accidentally failed
to fail because we never told xlog.c that the metapage is of standard
format --- but that's not very good, because it impedes WAL consistency
checking, and in some cases prevents compression of full-page images.
To fix, ensure that we set pd_lower correctly, not only when creating a
metapage but whenever we write it out (these apparently redundant steps are
needed to cope with pg_upgrade'd indexes that don't yet contain the right
value). This allows telling xlog.c that the page is of standard format.
The WAL consistency check mask functions are made to mask only if pd_lower
appears valid, which I think is likely unnecessary complication, since
any metapage appearing in a v11 WAL stream should contain valid pd_lower.
But it doesn't cost much to be paranoid.

Don't move parenthesized lines to the left, even if that means they
flow past the right margin.
By default, BSD indent lines up statement continuation lines that are
within parentheses so that they start just to the right of the preceding
left parenthesis. However, traditionally, if that resulted in the
continuation line extending to the right of the desired right margin,
then indent would push it left just far enough to not overrun the margin,
if it could do so without making the continuation line start to the left of
the current statement indent. That makes for a weird mix of indentations
unless one has been completely rigid about never violating the 80-column
limit.
This behavior has been pretty universally panned by Postgres developers.
Hence, disable it with indent's new -lpl switch, so that parenthesized
lines are always lined up with the preceding left paren.
This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent
changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

The xlog-specific headers need to be included in both frontend code -
specifically, pg_waldump - and the backend, but the remainder of the
private headers for each index are only needed by the backend. By
splitting the xlog stuff out into separate headers, pg_waldump pulls
in fewer backend headers, which is a good thing.
Patch by me, reviewed by Michael Paquier and Andres Freund, per a
complaint from Dilip Kumar.

It's always been possible for index AMs to cache data across successive
amgettuple calls within a single SQL command: the IndexScanDesc.opaque
field is meant for precisely that. However, no comparable facility
exists for amortizing setup work across successive aminsert calls.
This patch adds such a feature and teaches GIN, GIST, and BRIN to use it
to amortize catalog lookups they'd previously been doing on every call.
(The other standard index AMs keep everything they need in the relcache,
so there's little to improve there.)
For GIN, the overall improvement in a statement that inserts many rows
can be as much as 10%, though it seems a bit less for the other two.
In addition, this makes a really significant difference in runtime
for CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS tests, since in those builds the repeated
catalog lookups are vastly more expensive.
The reason this has been hard up to now is that the aminsert function is
not passed any useful place to cache per-statement data. What I chose to
do is to add suitable fields to struct IndexInfo and pass that to aminsert.
That's not widening the index AM API very much because IndexInfo is already
within the ken of ambuild; in fact, by passing the same info to aminsert
as to ambuild, this is really removing an inconsistency in the AM API.

I found that half a dozen (nearly 5%) of our AllocSetContextCreate calls
had typos in the context-sizing parameters. While none of these led to
especially significant problems, they did create minor inefficiencies,
and it's now clear that expecting people to copy-and-paste those calls
accurately is not a great idea. Let's reduce the risk of future errors
by introducing single macros that encapsulate the common use-cases.
Three such macros are enough to cover all but two special-purpose contexts;
those two calls can be left as-is, I think.
While this patch doesn't in itself improve matters for third-party
extensions, it doesn't break anything for them either, and they can
gradually adopt the simplified notation over time.
In passing, change TopMemoryContext to use the default allocation
parameters. Formerly it could only be extended 8K at a time. That was
probably reasonable when this code was written; but nowadays we create
many more contexts than we did then, so that it's not unusual to have a
couple hundred K in TopMemoryContext, even without considering various
dubious code that sticks other things there. There seems no good reason
not to let it use growing blocks like most other contexts.
Back-patch to 9.6, mostly because that's still close enough to HEAD that
it's easy to do so, and keeping the branches in sync can be expected to
avoid some future back-patching pain. The bugs fixed by these changes
don't seem to be significant enough to justify fixing them further back.
