Add hash_mem_multiplier GUC.
Add a GUC that acts as a multiplier on work_mem. It gets applied when
sizing executor node hash tables that were previously size constrained
using work_mem alone.
The new GUC can be used to preferentially give hash-based nodes more
memory than the generic work_mem limit. It is intended to enable admin
tuning of the executor's memory usage. Overall system throughput and
system responsiveness can be improved by giving hash-based executor
nodes more memory (especially over sort-based alternatives, which are
often much less sensitive to being memory constrained).
The default value for hash_mem_multiplier is 1.0, which is also the
minimum valid value. This means that hash-based nodes continue to apply
work_mem in the traditional way by default.
hash_mem_multiplier is generally useful. However, it is being added now
due to concerns about hash aggregate performance stability for users
that upgrade to Postgres 13 (which added disk-based hash aggregation in
commit
1f39bce0). While the old hash aggregate behavior risked
out-of-memory errors, it is nevertheless likely that many users actually
benefited. Hash agg's previous indifference to work_mem during query
execution was not just faster; it also accidentally made aggregation
resilient to grouping estimate problems (at least in cases where this
didn't create destabilizing memory pressure).
hash_mem_multiplier can provide a certain kind of continuity with the
behavior of Postgres 12 hash aggregates in cases where the planner
incorrectly estimates that all groups (plus related allocations) will
fit in work_mem/hash_mem. This seems necessary because hash-based
aggregation is usually much slower when only a small fraction of all
groups can fit. Even when it isn't possible to totally avoid hash
aggregates that spill, giving hash aggregation more memory will reliably
improve performance (the same cannot be said for external sort
operations, which appear to be almost unaffected by memory availability
provided it's at least possible to get a single merge pass).
The PostgreSQL 13 release notes should advise users that increasing
hash_mem_multiplier can help with performance regressions associated
with hash aggregation. That can be taken care of by a later commit.

HashAgg: use better cardinality estimate for recursive spilling.
Use HyperLogLog to estimate the group cardinality in a spilled

we recurse.
The previous behavior was to use the number of tuples in a spilled

overpartitioning. That could cause the number of batches to be much
higher than expected (with each batch being very small), which made it

Fix some issues with step generation in partition pruning.
In the case of range partitioning, get_steps_using_prefix() assumes that
the passed-in prefix list contains at least one clause for each of the
partition keys earlier than one specified in the passed-in
step_lastkeyno, but the caller (ie, gen_prune_steps_from_opexps())
didn't take it into account, which led to a server crash or incorrect

reported in bug #16500 and #16501 from Kobayashi Hisanori. Update the
caller to call that function only when the list created there contains
at least one clause for each of the earlier partition keys in the case
of range partitioning.
While at it, fix some other issues:
* The list to pass to get_steps_using_prefix() is allowed to contain
multiple clauses for the same partition key, as described in the
comment for that function, but that function actually assumed that the
list contained just a single clause for each of middle partition keys,
which led to an assertion failure when the list contained multiple
clauses for such partition keys. Update that function to match the
comment.
* In the case of hash partitioning, partition keys are allowed to be
NULL, in which case the list to pass to get_steps_using_prefix()
contains no clauses for NULL partition keys, but that function treats
that case as like the case of range partitioning, which led to the
assertion failure. Update the assertion test to take into account
NULL partition keys in the case of hash partitioning.
* Fix a typo in a comment in get_steps_using_prefix_recurse().
* gen_partprune_steps() failed to detect self-contradiction from
strict-qual clauses and an IS NULL clause for the same partition key
in some cases, producing incorrect partition-pruning steps, which led
to incorrect results of partition pruning, but didn't cause any

Tweak behavior of pg_stat_activity.leader_pid

set after it participated at least once in parallel query, and after
more discussions this could be confusing if using for example a

Text search sometimes failed to find valid matches, for instance

when we made the search logic itself do so. It's somewhat annoying
to break that API, but on the other hand we now see that any code
using plain boolean logic is almost certainly broken since the
addition of phrase search. There seem to be very few outside callers
of this code anyway, so we'll just break them intentionally to get

This allows removal of tsginidx.c's private re-implementation of

This has been broken since pgcrypto was committed. The reason for the
lack of complaints seems to be that it's fairly hard to get stock zlib
to not consume all the input, so long as the output buffer is big enough

Correctly mark pg_subscription.subslotname as nullable.
Due to the layout of this catalog, subslotname has to be explicitly
marked BKI_FORCE_NULL, else initdb will default to the assumption
that it's non-nullable. Since, in fact, CREATE/ALTER SUBSCRIPTION
will store null values there, the existing marking is just wrong,
and has been since this catalog was invented.
We haven't noticed because not much in the system actually depends
on attnotnull being truthful. However, JIT'ed tuple deconstruction
does depend on that in some cases, allowing crashes or wrong answers
in queries that inspect pg_subscription. Commit
9de77b545 quite
accidentally exposed this on the buildfarm members that force JIT

Back-patch to v13. The problem goes further back, but we cannot
force initdb in released branches, so some klugier solution will
be needed there. Before working on that, push this simple fix

Cope with data-offset-less archive files during out-of-order restores.
pg_dump produces custom-format archive files that lack data offsets
when it is unable to seek its output. Up to now that's been a hazard
for pg_restore. But if pg_restore is able to seek in the archive
file, there is no reason to throw up our hands when asked to restore
data blocks out of order. Instead, whenever we are searching for a
data block, record the locations of the blocks we passed over (that
is, fill in the missing data-offset fields in our in-memory copy of
the TOC data). Then, when we hit a case that requires going
backwards, we can just seek back.
Also track the furthest point that we've searched to, and seek back
to there when beginning a search for a new data block. This avoids
possible O(N^2) time consumption, by ensuring that each data block
is examined at most twice. (On Unix systems, that's at most twice
per parallel-restore job; but since Windows uses threads here, the
threads can share block location knowledge, reducing the amount of
duplicated work.)
We can also improve the code a bit by using fseeko() to skip over
data blocks during the search.
This is all of some use even in simple restores, but it's really
significant for parallel pg_restore. In that case, we require
seekability of the input already, and we will very probably need
to do out-of-order restores.
Back-patch to v12, as this fixes a regression introduced by commit
548e50976. Before that, parallel restore avoided requesting
out-of-order restores, so it would work on a data-offset-less
archive. Now it will again.
Ideally this patch would include some test coverage, but there are
other open bugs that need to be fixed before we can extend our
coverage of parallel restore very much. Plan to revisit that later.

Remove manual tracking of file position in pg_dump/pg_backup_custom.c.
We do not really need to track the file position by hand. We were
already relying on ftello() whenever the archive file is seekable,
while if it's not seekable we don't need the file position info
anyway because we're not going to be able to re-write the TOC.
Moreover, that tracking was buggy since it failed to account for
the effects of fseeko(). Somewhat remarkably, that seems not to
have made for any live bugs up to now. We could fix the oversights,
but it seems better to just get rid of the whole error-prone mess.
In itself this is merely code cleanup. However, it's necessary

*does* need valid file position after fseeko). The bug fix
needs to go back as far as v12; hence, back-patch that far.

Switch pg_test_fsync to use binary mode on Windows
pg_test_fsync has always opened files using the text mode on Windows, as
this is the default mode used if not enforced by _setmode().
This fixes a failure when running pg_test_fsync down to 12 because
O_DSYNC and the text mode are not able to work together nicely. We
fixed the handling of O_DSYNC in 12~ for the tool by switching to the
concurrent-safe version of fopen() in src/port/ with
0ba06e0. And
40cfe86, by enforcing the text mode for compatibility reasons if O_TEXT
or O_BINARY are not specified by the caller, broke pg_test_fsync. For
all versions, this avoids any translation overhead, and pg_test_fsync
should test binary writes, so it is a gain in all cases.
Note that O_DSYNC is still not handled correctly in ~11, leading to
pg_test_fsync to show insanely high numbers for open_datasync() (using
this property it is easy to notice that the binary mode is much
faster). This would require a backpatch of
0ba06e0 and
40cfe86, which
could potentially break existing applications, so this is left out.
There are no TAP tests for this tool yet, so I have checked all builds
manually using MSVC. We could invent a new option to run a single
transaction instead of using a duration of 1s to make the tests a
maximum short, but this is left as future work.

Fix handling of missing files when using pg_rewind with online source
When working with an online source cluster, pg_rewind gets a list of all

returning a NULL result for a file's metadata if it gets removed between
the moment it is listed in a directory and the moment its metadata is
obtained with pg_stat_file() (say a recycled WAL segment). The query
result was processed in such a way that for each tuple we checked only
that the first file's metadata was NULL. This could have two
consequences, both resulting in a failure of the rewind:
- If the first tuple referred to a removed file, all files from the
source would be ignored.
- Any file actually missing would not be considered as such.

Fix bitmap AND/OR scans on the inside of a nestloop partition-wise join.
reparameterize_path_by_child() failed to reparameterize BitmapAnd
and BitmapOr paths. This matters only if such a path is chosen as
the inside of a nestloop partition-wise join, where we have to pass
in parameters from the outside of the nestloop. If that did happen,
we generated a bad plan that would likely lead to crashes at execution.
This is not entirely reparameterize_path_by_child()'s fault though;
it's the victim of an ancient decision (my ancient decision, I think)
to not bother filling in param_info in BitmapAnd/Or path nodes. That
caused the function to believe that such nodes and their children
contain no parameter references and so need not be processed.
In hindsight that decision looks pretty penny-wise and pound-foolish:
while it saves a few cycles during path node setup, we do commonly
need the information later. In particular, by reversing the decision
and requiring valid param_info data in all nodes of a bitmap path
tree, we can get rid of indxpath.c's get_bitmap_tree_required_outer()
function, which computed the data on-demand. It's not unlikely that
that nets out as a savings of cycles in many scenarios. A couple
of other things in indxpath.c can be simplified as well.
While here, get rid of some cases in reparameterize_path_by_child()
that are visibly dead or useless, given that we only care about
reparameterizing paths that can be on the inside of a parameterized
nestloop. This case reminds one of the maxim that untested code
probably does not work, so I'm unwilling to leave unreachable code
in this function. (I did leave the T_Gather case in place even
though it's not reached in the regression tests. It's not very
clear to me when the planner might prefer to put Gather below
rather than above a nestloop, but at least in principle the case
might be interesting.)

Fix timing issue with ALTER TABLE's validate constraint
An ALTER TABLE to validate a foreign key in which another subcommand

takes place. This situation could result in an error such as:
ERROR: could not read block 0 in file "base/nnnnn/nnnnn": read only 0 of 8192 bytes
The failure here was due to the SPI call which validates the foreign key
trying to access an index which is yet to be rebuilt.
Similarly, we also incorrectly tried to validate CHECK constraints before
the heap had been rewritten.
The fix for both is to delay constraint validation until phase 3, after
the table has been rewritten. For CHECK constraints this means a slight
behavioral change. Previously ALTER TABLE VALIDATE CONSTRAINT on
inheritance tables would be validated from the bottom up. This was
different from the order of evaluation when a new CHECK constraint was

This led to an assertion failure in debug builds. In a non-debug

the qual was unsafe anyway), or we could get failures later due to

Avoid trying to restore table ACLs and per-column ACLs in parallel.
Parallel pg_restore has always supposed that ACL items for different

conflicts. However, there is one case where this fails: because
REVOKE on a table is defined to also revoke the privilege(s) at
column level, we can't restore per-column ACLs till after we restore
any table-level privileges on their table. Failure to honor this
restriction can lead to "tuple concurrently updated" errors during
parallel restore, or even to the per-column ACLs silently disappearing

To fix, add a dependency from each column-level ACL item to its table's

ecd9e9f0b fixed the problem in the wrong place, causing unwanted

It also looks like SharedFileSetInit() is doing the wrong thing in the

Remove support for timezone "posixrules" file.
The IANA tzcode library has a feature to read a time zone file named
"posixrules" and apply the daylight-savings transition dates and times
therein, when it is given a POSIX-style time zone specification that
lacks an explicit transition rule. However, there's a problem with
that code: it doesn't work for dates past the Y2038 time_t rollover.
(Effectively, all times beyond that point are treated as standard
time.) The IANA crew regard this feature as legacy, so their plan is
to remove it not fix it. The time frame in which that will happen
is unclear, but presumably it'll happen well before 2038.
Moreover, effective with the next IANA data update (probably this
fall), the recommended default will be to not install a "posixrules"
file in the first place. The time frame in which tzdata packagers
might adopt that suggestion is likewise unclear, but at least some
platforms will probably do it in the next year or so. While we could
ignore that recommendation so far as PG-supplied tzdata trees are
concerned, builds using --with-system-tzdata will be subject to
whatever the platform's tzdata packager decides to do.
Thus, whether or not we do anything, some increasing fraction of
Postgres users will be exposed to the behavior observed when there
is no "posixrules" file; and if we do nothing, we'll have essentially
no control over the timing of that change.
The best thing to do to ameliorate the uncertainty seems to be to
proactively remove the posixrules-reading feature. If we do that in
a scheduled release then at least we can release-note the behavioral
change, rather than having users be surprised by it after a routine
tzdata update.
The change in question is fairly minor anyway: to be affected,
you have to be using a POSIX-style timezone spec, it has to not
have an explicit rule, and it has to not be one of the four traditional
continental-USA zone names (EST5EDT, CST6CDT, MST7MDT, or PST8PDT),
as those are special-cased. Since the default "posixrules" file
provides USA DST rules, the number of people who are likely to find
such a zone spec useful is probably quite small. Moreover, the
fallback behavior with no explicit rule and no "posixrules" file is to
apply current USA rules, so the only thing that really breaks is the
DST transitions in years before 2007 (and you get the countervailing
fix that transitions after 2038 will be applied).
Now, some installations might have replaced the "posixrules" file,
allowing e.g. EU rules to be applied to a POSIX-style timezone spec.
That won't work anymore. But it's not exactly clear why this solution
would be preferable to using a regular named zone. In any case, given
the Y2038 issue, we need to be pushing users to stop depending on this.
Back-patch into v13; it hasn't been released yet, so it seems OK to
change its behavior. (Personally I think we ought to back-patch
further, but I've been outvoted.)

Change libpq's default ssl_min_protocol_version to TLSv1.2.
When we initially created this parameter, in commit
ff8ca5fad, we left
the default as "allow any protocol version" on grounds of backwards
compatibility. However, that's inconsistent with the backend's default
since
b1abfec82; protocol versions prior to 1.2 are not considered very
secure; and OpenSSL has had TLSv1.2 support since 2012, so the number
of PG servers that need a lesser minimum is probably quite small.
On top of those things, it emerges that some popular distros (including
Debian and RHEL) set MinProtocol=TLSv1.2 in openssl.cnf. Thus, far
from having "allow any protocol version" behavior in practice, what
we actually have as things stand is a platform-dependent lower limit.
So, change our minds and set the min version to TLSv1.2. Anybody
wanting to connect with a new libpq to a pre-2012 server can either

Fix compiler warning induced by commit
d8b15eeb8.
I forgot that INT64_FORMAT can't be used with sscanf on Windows.
Use the same trick of sscanf'ing into a temp variable as we do in
some other places in zic.c.
The upstream IANA code avoids the portability problem by relying on
's SCNdFAST64 macro. Once we're requiring C99 in all
branches, we should do likewise and drop this set of diffs from
upstream. For now, though, a hack seems fine, since we do not
actually care about leapseconds anyway.
