* Don't clobber test exit code at cleanup in LDAP/Kerberors testsHeikki Linnakangas2024-04-07
| | | | | | | | | | If the test script die()d before running the first test, the whole test was interpreted as SKIPped rather than failed. The PostgreSQL::Cluster module got this right.

* Improve check in LDAP test to find the OpenLDAP installationHeikki Linnakangas2024-04-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the OpenLDAP installation directory is not found, set $setup to 0 so that the LDAP tests are skipped. The macOS checks were already doing that, but the checks on other OS's were not. While we're at it, improve the error message when the tests are skipped, to specify whether the OS is supported at all, or if we just didn't find the installation directory. This was accidentally "working" without this, i.e. we were skipping the tests if the OpenLDAP installation was not found, because of a bug in the LdapServer test module: the END block clobbered the exit code so if the script die()s before running the first subtest, the whole test script was marked as SKIPped. The next commit will fix that bug, but we need to fix the setup code first. These checks should probably go into configure/meson, but this is better than nothing and allows fixing the bug in the END block. Backpatch to all supported versions.

* Fix ecpg's mechanism for detecting unsupported cases in the grammar.Tom Lane2024-04-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ecpg wants to emit a warning if it parses a SQL construct that the backend can parse but will immediately throw a FEATURE_NOT_SUPPORTED error for. The way it was testing for this was to see if the string ERRCODE_FEATURE_NOT_SUPPORTED appeared anywhere in the gram.y code. This is, of course, not nearly good enough, as there are plenty of rules in gram.y that throw that error only conditionally. There was a hack dating to 2008 to suppress the warning in one rule that doesn't even exist anymore, but nothing for other cases we've created since then. End result was that you could get "unsupported feature will be passed to server" warnings while compiling perfectly good SQL code in ecpg. Somehow we'd not heard complaints about this, but it was exposed by the recent addition of an ecpg test for a SQL/JSON construct. To fix, suppress the warning if the rule contains any "if" statement. Manual comparison of gram.y with the generated preproc.y file shows that the warning is now emitted only in rules where it's sensible. This problem has existed for a long time, so back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/603615.1712245382@sss.pgh.pa.us

* Avoid deadlock during orphan temp table removal.Tom Lane2024-04-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If temp tables have dependencies (such as sequences) then it's possible for autovacuum's cleanup of orphan temp tables to deadlock against an incoming backend that's trying to clean out the temp namespace for its own use. That can happen because RemoveTempRelations' performDeletion call can visit objects within the namespace in an order different from the order in which a per-table deletion will visit them. To fix, observe that performDeletion will begin by taking an exclusive lock on the temp namespace (even though it won't actually delete it). So, if we can get a shared lock on the namespace, we can be sure we're not running concurrently with RemoveTempRelations, while also not conflicting with ordinary use of the namespace. This requires introducing a conditional version of LockDatabaseObject, but that's no big deal. (It's surprising we've got along without that this long.) Report and patch by Mikhail Zhilin.

* Avoid "unused variable" warning on non-USE_SSL_ENGINE platforms.Tom Lane2024-04-01

* Avoid possible longjmp-induced logic error in PLy_trigger_build_args.Tom Lane2024-04-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The "pltargs" variable wasn't marked volatile, which makes it unsafe to change its value within the PG_TRY block. It looks like the worst outcome would be to fail to release a refcount on Py_None during an (improbable) error exit, which would likely go unnoticed in the field. Still, it's a bug. A one-liner fix could be to mark pltargs volatile, but on the whole it seems cleaner to arrange things so that we don't change its value within PG_TRY. Per report from Xing Guo.

* Fix unnecessary use of moving-aggregate mode with non-moving frame.Tom Lane2024-03-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a plain aggregate is used as a window function, and the window frame start is specified as UNBOUNDED PRECEDING, the frame's head cannot move so we do not need to use moving-aggregate mode. The check for that was put into initialize_peragg(), failing to notice that ExecInitWindowAgg() calls that function before it's filled in winstate->frameOptions. Since makeNode() would have zeroed the field, this didn't provoke uninitialized-value complaints, nor would the erroneous decision have resulted in more than a little inefficiency. Still, it's wrong, so move the initialization of winstate->frameOptions earlier to make it work properly. While here, also fix a thinko in a comment. Both errors crept in in commit a9d9acbf2 which introduced the moving-aggregate mode. Spotted by Vallimaharajan G. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* Fix failure of ALTER FOREIGN TABLE SET SCHEMA to move sequences.Tom Lane2024-03-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Ordinary ALTER TABLE SET SCHEMA will also move any owned sequences into the new schema. We failed to do likewise for foreign tables, because AlterTableNamespaceInternal believed that only certain relkinds could have indexes, owned sequences, or constraints. We could simply add foreign tables to that relkind list, but it seems likely that the same oversight could be made again in future. Instead let's remove the relkind filter altogether. These functions shouldn't cost much when there are no objects that they need to process, and surely this isn't an especially performance-critical case anyway. Per bug #18407 from Vidushi Gupta.

* Allow "make check"-style testing to work with musl C library.Tom Lane2024-03-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The musl dynamic linker saves a pointer to the process' environment value of LD_LIBRARY_PATH very early in startup. When we move/clobber the environment to make more room for ps status strings, we clobber that value and thereby prevent libraries from being found via LD_LIBRARY_PATH, which breaks the use of a temporary installation for testing purposes. To fix, stop collecting usable space for ps status if we notice that the variable we are about to clobber is LD_LIBRARY_PATH. This will result in some reduction in how long the ps status can be, but it's only likely to occur in temporary test contexts, so it doesn't seem like a big problem. In any case, we don't have to do it if we see we are on glibc, which surely is where the majority of our Linux testing is done.

* Avoid edge case in pg_visibility test with small shared_buffersAndres Freund2024-03-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since 82a4edabd27 we can bulk extend relations. The bulk relation extension logic has a heuristic component. Normally the heurstic does not trigger in the occasionally-failing test case, as the relation is only extended once. But with very small shared_buffers the limits for the number of buffers pinned at once prevent the extension from happening at once. With the second "bulk" extension, the heuristic kicks in, and the relation ends up one block bigger. That's ok from a correctness perspective, but changes the results of the test query due to one additional block. We discussed a few more expansive fixes, but for now have decided to avoid this by making the table a bit smaller.

* Use a hash table for catcache.c's CatCList objects.Tom Lane2024-03-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Up to now, all of the "catcache list" objects within a catalog cache were just chained together on a single dlist, requiring O(N) time to search. Remarkably, we've not had serious performance problems with that so far; but we got a complaint of a bad performance regression from v15 in a case with a large number of roles in the system, which traced down to O(N^2) total time when we probed N catcache lists. Replace that data structure with a hashtable having an enlargeable number of dlists, in an exactly parallel way to the data structure we've used for years for the plain CatCTup cache members. The extra cost of maintaining a hash table seems negligible, since we were already computing a hash value for list searches. Normally this'd be HEAD-only material, but in view of the performance regression it seems advisable to back-patch into v16. In the v16 version of the patch, leave the dead cc_lists field where it is and add the new fields at the end of struct catcache, to avoid possible ABI breakage in case any external code is looking at these structs. (We assume no external code is actually allocating new catcache structs.) Per report from alex work. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAGvXd3OSMbJQwOSc-Tq-Ro1CAz=vggErdSG7pv2s6vmmTOLJSg@mail.gmail.com

This would affect subplans outside the topmost join plan node, for which expansion of Params would go via the top-level ModifyTable plan node. The problem was that "inner_tlist" for the ModifyTable node's deparse_namespace was set to the join node's targetlist, but "inner_plan" was set to the ModifyTable node itself, rather than the join node, leading to incorrect results when descending to the referenced variable.

* Make INSERT-from-multiple-VALUES-rows handle domain target columns.Tom Lane2024-03-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit a3c7a993d fixed some cases involving target columns that are arrays or composites by applying transformAssignedExpr to the VALUES entries, and then stripping off any assignment ArrayRefs or FieldStores that the transformation added. But I forgot about domains over arrays or composites :-(. Such cases would either fail with surprising complaints about mismatched datatypes, or insert unexpected coercions that could lead to odd results. To fix, extend the stripping logic to get rid of CoerceToDomain if it's atop an ArrayRef or FieldStore. While poking at this, I realized that there's a poorly documented and not-at-all-tested behavior nearby: we coerce each VALUES column to the domain type separately, and rely on the rewriter to merge those operations so that the domain constraints are checked only once. If that merging did not happen, it's entirely possible that we'd get unexpected domain constraint failures due to checking a partially-updated container value. There's no bug there, but while we're here let's improve the commentary about it and add some test cases that explicitly exercise that behavior. Per bug #18393 from Pablo Kharo.

* Fix confusion about the return rowtype of SQL-language procedures.Tom Lane2024-03-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a very ancient hack in check_sql_fn_retval that allows a single SELECT targetlist entry of composite type to be taken as supplying all the output columns of a function returning composite. (This is grotty and fundamentally ambiguous, but it's really hard to do nested composite-returning functions without it.) As far as I know, that doesn't cause any problems in ordinary functions. It's disastrous for procedures however. All procedures that have any output parameters are labeled with prorettype RECORD, and the CALL code expects it will get back a record with one column per output parameter, regardless of whether any of those parameters is composite. Doing something else leads to an assertion failure or core dump. This is simple enough to fix: we just need to not apply that rule when considering procedures. However, that requires adding another argument to check_sql_fn_retval, which at least in principle might be getting called by external callers. Therefore, in the back branches convert check_sql_fn_retval into an ABI-preserving wrapper around a new function check_sql_fn_retval_ext. Per report from Yahor Yuzefovich. This has been broken since we implemented procedures, so back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CABz5gWHSjj2df6uG0NRiDhZ_Uz=Y8t0FJP-_SVSsRsnrQT76Gg@mail.gmail.com
* Disconnect if socket cannot be put into non-blocking modeHeikki Linnakangas2024-03-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 387da18874 moved the code to put socket into non-blocking mode from socket_set_nonblocking() into the one-time initialization function, pq_init(). In socket_set_nonblocking(), there indeed was a risk of recursion on failure like the comment said, but in pq_init(), ERROR or FATAL is fine. There's even another elog(FATAL) just after this, if setting FD_CLOEXEC fails. Note that COMMERROR merely logged the error, it did not close the connection, so if putting the socket to non-blocking mode failed we would use the connection anyway. You might not immediately notice, because most socket operations in a regular backend wait for the socket to become readable/writable anyway. But e.g. replication will be quite broken.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's important for 'all_visible_according_to_vm' to correctly reflect whether the VM bit is set or not, even when we are not trusting the VM to skip pages, because contrary to what the comment said, lazy_scan_prune() relies on it. If it's incorrectly set to 'false', when the VM bit is in fact set, lazy_scan_prune() will try to set the VM bit again and dirty the page unnecessarily.

* Fix incorrect accessing of pfree'd memory in MemoizeDavid Rowley2024-03-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For pass-by-reference types, the code added in 0b053e78b, which aimed to resolve a memory leak, was overly aggressive in resetting the per-tuple memory context which could result in pfree'd memory being accessed resulting in failing to find previously cached results in the hash table. What was happening was prepare_probe_slot() was switching to the per-tuple memory context and calling ExecEvalExpr(). ExecEvalExpr() may have required a memory allocation. Both MemoizeHash_hash() and MemoizeHash_equal() were aggressively resetting the per-tuple context and after determining the hash value, the context would have gotten reset before MemoizeHash_equal() was called. This could have resulted in MemoizeHash_equal() looking at pfree'd memory. This is less likely to have caused issues on a production build as some other allocation would have had to have reused the pfree'd memory to overwrite it.

* Fix deparsing of Consts in postgres_fdw ORDER BYDavid Rowley2024-03-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For UNION ALL queries where a union child query contained a foreign table, if the targetlist of that query contained a constant, and the top-level query performed an ORDER BY which contained the column for the constant value, then postgres_fdw would find the EquivalenceMember with the Const and then try to produce an ORDER BY containing that Const. This caused problems with INT typed Consts as these could appear to be requests to order by an ordinal column position rather than the constant value. This could lead to either an error such as: ERROR: ORDER BY position <int const> is not in select list or worse, if the constant value is a valid column, then we could just sort by the wrong column altogether. Here we fix this issue by just not including these Consts in the ORDER BY clause. In passing, add a new section for testing ORDER BY in the postgres_fdw tests and move two existing tests which were misplaced in the WHERE clause testing section into it.

* Cope with a deficiency in OpenSSL 3.x's error reporting.Tom Lane2024-03-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In OpenSSL 3.0.0 and later, ERR_reason_error_string randomly refuses to provide a string for error codes representing system errno values (e.g., "No such file or directory"). There is a poorly-documented way to extract the errno from the SSL error code in this case, so do that and apply strerror, rather than falling back to reporting the error code's numeric value as we were previously doing. Problem reported by David Zhang, although this is not his proposed patch; it's instead based on a suggestion from Heikki Linnakangas. Back-patch to all supported branches, since any of them are likely to be used with recent OpenSSL. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/b6fb018b-f05c-4afd-abd3-318c649faf18@highgo.ca
* Fix handling of self-modified tuples in MERGE.Dean Rasheed2024-03-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When an UPDATE or DELETE action in MERGE returns TM_SelfModified, there are 2 possible causes: 1). The target tuple was already updated or deleted by the current command. This can happen if the target row joins to more than one source row, and the SQL standard explicitly says that this must be an error. 2). The target tuple was already updated or deleted by a later command in the current transaction. This can happen if the tuple is modified by a BEFORE trigger or a volatile function used in the query, and should be an error for the same reason that it is in a plain UPDATE or DELETE command. In MERGE's primary error handling block, it failed to check for (2), causing it to return a misleading error message in such cases. In the secondary error handling block, following a concurrent update from another session, it failed to check for (1), causing it to silently ignore target rows joined to more than one source row, instead of reporting an error. Fix this, and add tests for both of these cases. Per report from Wenjiang Zhang. Back-patch to v15, where MERGE was introduced.

* Fix type-checking of RECORD-returning functions in FROM.Tom Lane2024-03-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the corner case where a function returning RECORD has been simplified to a RECORD constant or an inlined ROW() expression, ExecInitFunctionScan failed to cross-check the function's result rowtype against the coldeflist provided by the calling query. That happened because get_expr_result_type is able to extract a tupdesc from such expressions, which led ExecInitFunctionScan to ignore the coldeflist. (Instead, it used the extracted tupdesc to check the function's output, which of course always succeeds.) I have not been able to demonstrate any really serious consequences from this, because if some column of the result is of the wrong type and is directly referenced by a Var of the calling query, CheckVarSlotCompatibility will catch it. However, we definitely do fail to report the case where the function returns more columns than the coldeflist expects, and in the converse case where it returns fewer columns, we get an assert failure (but, seemingly, no worse results in non-assert builds). To fix, always build the expected tupdesc from the coldeflist if there is one, and consult get_expr_result_type only when there isn't one. Also remove the failing Assert, even though it is no longer reached after this fix. It doesn't seem to be adding anything useful, since later checking will deal with cases with the wrong number of columns. The only other place I could find that is doing something similar is inline_set_returning_function. There's no live bug there because we cannot be looking at a Const or RowExpr, but for consistency change that code to agree with ExecInitFunctionScan. Per report from PetSerAl. After some debate I've concluded that this should be back-patched. There is a small risk that somebody has been relying on such a case not throwing an error, but I judge this outweighed by the risk that I've missed some way in which the failure to cross-check has worse consequences than sketched above.

* Fix parallel-safety check of expressions and predicate for index buildsMichael Paquier2024-03-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As coded, the planner logic that calculates the number of parallel workers to use for a parallel index build uses expressions and predicates from the relcache, which are flattened for the planner by eval_const_expressions(). As reported in the bug, an immutable parallel-unsafe function flattened in the relcache would become a Const, which would be considered as parallel-safe, even if the predicate or the expressions including the function are not safe in parallel workers. Depending on the expressions or predicate used, this could cause the parallel build to fail. Tests are included that check parallel index builds with parallel-unsafe predicate and expressions. Two routines are added to lsyscache.h to be able to retrieve expressions and predicate of an index from its pg_index data.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the case where the target timestamp is before the origin timestamp and their difference is already an exact multiple of the stride, the code incorrectly subtracted the stride anyway. Also detect several integer-overflow cases that previously produced bogus results. (The submitted patch tried to avoid overflow, but I'm not convinced it's right, and problematic cases are so far out of the plausibly-useful range that they don't seem worth sweating over. Let's just use overflow-detecting arithmetic and throw errors.) timestamp_bin() and timestamptz_bin() are basically identical and so had identical bugs. Fix both.

* Promote assertion about !ReindexIsProcessingIndex to runtime error.Tom Lane2024-02-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When this assertion was installed (in commit d2f60a3ab), I thought it was only for catching server logic errors that caused accesses to catalogs that were undergoing index rebuilds. However, it will also fire in case of a user-defined index expression that attempts to access its own table. We occasionally see reports of people trying to do that, and typically getting unintelligible low-level errors as a result. We can provide a more on-point message by making this a regular runtime check. While at it, adjust the similar error check in systable_beginscan_ordered to use the same message text. That one is (probably) not reachable without a coding bug, but we might as well use a translatable message if we have one. Per bug #18363 from Alexander Lakhin. Back-patch to all supported branches.
