* configure: don't probe for libldap_r if libldap is 2.5 or newer.Tom Lane2022-05-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In OpenLDAP 2.5 and later, libldap itself is always thread-safe and there's never a libldap_r. Our existing coding dealt with that by assuming it wouldn't find libldap_r if libldap is thread-safe. But that rule fails to cope if there are multiple OpenLDAP versions visible, as is likely to be the case on macOS in particular. We'd end up using shiny new libldap in the backend and a hoary libldap_r in libpq. Instead, once we've found libldap, check if it's >= 2.5 (by probing for a function introduced then) and don't bother looking for libldap_r if so. While one can imagine library setups that this'd still give the wrong answer for, they seem unlikely to occur in practice. Per report from Peter Eisentraut. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* Fix core dump in transformValuesClause when there are no columns.Tom Lane2022-05-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | The parser code that transformed VALUES from row-oriented to column-oriented lists failed if there were zero columns. You can't write that straightforwardly (though probably you should be able to), but the case can be reached by expanding a "tab.*" reference to a zero-column table. Per bug #17477 from Wang Ke.

* Revert "Disallow infinite endpoints in generate_series() for timestamps."Tom Lane2022-05-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit eafdf9de06e9b60168f5e47cedcfceecdc6d4b5f and its back-branch counterparts. Corey Huinker pointed out that we'd discussed this exact change back in 2016 and rejected it, on the grounds that there's at least one usage pattern with LIMIT where an infinite endpoint can usefully be used. Perhaps that argument needs to be re-litigated, but there's no time left before our back-branch releases. To keep our options open, restore the status quo ante; if we do end up deciding to change things, waiting one more quarter won't hurt anything. Rather than just doing a straight revert, I added a new test case demonstrating the usage with LIMIT. That'll at least remind us of the issue if we forget again.

* Make relation-enumerating operations be security-restricted operations.Noah Misch2022-05-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a feature enumerates relations and runs functions associated with all found relations, the feature's user shall not need to trust every user having permission to create objects. BRIN-specific functionality in autovacuum neglected to account for this, as did pg_amcheck and CLUSTER. An attacker having permission to create non-temp objects in at least one schema could execute arbitrary SQL functions under the identity of the bootstrap superuser. CREATE INDEX (not a relation-enumerating operation) and REINDEX protected themselves too late. This change extends to the non-enumerating amcheck interface.

* Disable 031_recovery_conflict.pl until after minor releases.Andres Freund2022-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | f40d362a667 disabled part of 031_recovery_conflict.pl due to instability that's not trivial to fix in the back branches. That fixed most of the issues. But there was one more failure (on lapwing / REL_10_STABLE). That failure looks like it might be caused by a genuine problem.

* Temporarily skip recovery deadlock test in back branches.Andres Freund2022-05-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The recovery deadlock test has a timing issue that was fixed in 5136967f1eb in HEAD. Unfortunately the same fix doesn't quite work in the back branches: 1) adjust_conf() doesn't exist, which is easy enough to work around 2) a restart cleares the recovery conflict stats < 15. These issues can be worked around, but given the upcoming set of minor releases, skip the problematic test for now. The buildfarm doesn't show failures in other parts of 031_recovery_conflict.pl.

* Fix possibility of self-deadlock in ResolveRecoveryConflictWithBufferPin().Andres Freund2022-05-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The tests added in 9f8a050f68d failed nearly reliably on FreeBSD in CI, and occasionally on the buildfarm. That turns out to be caused not by a bug in the test, but by a longstanding bug in recovery conflict handling. The standby timeout handler, used by ResolveRecoveryConflictWithBufferPin(), executed SendRecoveryConflictWithBufferPin() inside a signal handler. A bad idea, because the deadlock timeout handler (or a spurious latch set) could have interrupted ProcWaitForSignal(). If unlucky that could cause a self-deadlock on ProcArrayLock, if the deadlock check is in SendRecoveryConflictWithBufferPin()->CancelDBBackends(). To fix, set a flag in StandbyTimeoutHandler(), and check the flag in ResolveRecoveryConflictWithBufferPin(). Subsequently the recovery conflict tests will be backpatched.

* Disable asynchronous execution if using gating Result nodes.Etsuro Fujita2022-04-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | mark_async_capable_plan(), which is called from create_append_plan() to determine whether subplans are async-capable, failed to take into account that the given subplan created from a given subpath might include a gating Result node if the subpath is a SubqueryScanPath or ForeignPath, causing a segmentation fault there when the subplan created from a SubqueryScanPath includes the Result node, or causing ExecAsyncRequest() to throw an error about an unrecognized node type when the subplan created from a ForeignPath includes the Result node, because in the latter case the Result node was unintentionally considered as async-capable, but we don't currently support executing Result nodes asynchronously. Fix by modifying mark_async_capable_plan() to disable asynchronous execution in such cases. Also, adjust code in the ProjectionPath case in mark_async_capable_plan(), for consistency with other cases, and adjust/improve comments there. is_async_capable_path() added in commit 27e1f1456, which was rewritten to mark_async_capable_plan() in a later commit, has the same issue, causing the error at execution mentioned above, so back-patch to v14 where the aforesaid commit went in.

* Inhibit mingw CRT's auto-globbing of command line argumentsAndrew Dunstan2022-04-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For some reason by default the mingw C Runtime takes it upon itself to expand program arguments that look like shell globbing characters.

* Remove some recently-added pg_dump test cases.Robert Haas2022-04-25

This happens because IPC::Run expands its arguments as shell globs on a few machines, but doesn't on most of the buildfarm. It might be good to fix that problem systematically somehow, but in the meantime, there are enough test cases for this commit that it seems OK to just remove the ones that are failing.

* Fix incautious CTE matching in rewriteSearchAndCycle().Tom Lane2022-04-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This function looks for a reference to the recursive WITH CTE, but it checked only the CTE name not ctelevelsup, so that it could seize on a lower CTE that happened to have the same name. This would result in planner failures later, either weird errors such as "could not find attribute 2 in subquery targetlist", or crashes or assertion failures. The code also merely Assert'ed that it found a matching entry, which is not guaranteed at all by the parser. Per bugs #17320 and #17318 from Zhiyong Wu. Thanks to Kyotaro Horiguchi for investigation.

* Remove inadequate assertion check in CTE inlining.Tom Lane2022-04-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | inline_cte() expected to find exactly as many references to the target CTE as its cterefcount indicates. While that should be accurate for the tree as emitted by the parser, there are some optimizations that occur upstream of here that could falsify it, notably removal of unused subquery output expressions. Trying to make the accounting 100% accurate seems expensive and doomed to future breakage. It's not really worth it, because all this code is protecting is downstream assumptions that every referenced CTE has a plan. Let's convert those assertions to regular test-and-elog just in case there's some actual problem, and then drop the failing assertion. Per report from Tomas Vondra (thanks also to Richard Guo for analysis). Back-patch to v12 where the faulty code came in.

* Support new perl module namespace in stable branchesAndrew Dunstan2022-04-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit b3b4d8e68a moved our perl test modules to a better namespace structure, but this has made life hard for people wishing to backpatch improvements in the TAP tests. Here we alleviate much of that difficulty by implementing the new module names on top of the old modules, mostly by using a little perl typeglob aliasing magic, so that we don't have a dual maintenance burden. This should work both for the case where a new test is backpatched and the case where a fix to an existing test that uses the new namespace is backpatched.

* Fix CLUSTER tuplesorts on abbreviated expressions.Peter Geoghegan2022-04-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | CLUSTER sort won't use the datum1 SortTuple field when clustering against an index whose leading key is an expression. This makes it unsafe to use the abbreviated keys optimization, which was missed by the logic that sets up SortSupport state. Affected tuplesorts output tuples in a completely bogus order as a result (the wrong SortSupport based comparator was used for the leading attribute). This issue is similar to the bug fixed on the master branch by recent commit cc58eecc5d. But it's a far older issue, that dates back to the introduction of the abbreviated keys optimization by commit 4ea51cdfe8. Backpatch to all supported versions.

* Allow db.schema.table patterns, but complain about random garbage.Robert Haas2022-04-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | psql, pg_dump, and pg_amcheck share code to process object name patterns like 'foo*.bar*' to match all tables with names starting in 'bar' that are in schemas starting with 'foo'. Before v14, any number of extra name parts were silently ignored, so a command line '\d foo.bar.baz.bletch.quux' was interpreted as '\d bletch.quux'. In v14, as a result of commit 2c8726c4b0a496608919d1f78a5abc8c9b6e0868, we instead treated this as a request for table quux in a schema named 'foo.bar.baz.bletch'. That caused problems for people like Justin Pryzby who were accustomed to copying strings of the form db.schema.table from messages generated by PostgreSQL itself and using them as arguments to \d. Accordingly, revise things so that if an object name pattern contains more parts than we're expecting, we throw an error, unless there's exactly one extra part and it matches the current database name. That way, thisdb.myschema.mytable is accepted as meaning just myschema.mytable, but otherdb.myschema.mytable is an error, and so is some.random.garbage.myschema.mytable.

It's not in this function's charter to complain that you can't alter a system column, so instead just hard-wire an assumption that system attributes aren't identities.

* Fix race in TAP test 002_archiving.pl when restoring history fileMichael Paquier2022-04-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This test, introduced in df86e52, uses a second standby to check that it is able to remove correctly RECOVERYHISTORY and RECOVERYXLOG at the end of recovery. This standby uses the archives of the primary to restore its contents, with some of the archive's contents coming from the first standby previously promoted. In slow environments, it was possible that the test did not check what it should, as the history file generated by the promotion of the first standby may not be stored yet on the archives the second standby feeds on. So, it could be possible that the second standby selects an incorrect timeline, without restoring a history file at all. This commits adds a wait phase to make sure that the history file required by the second standby is archived before this cluster is created. This relies on poll_query_until() with pg_stat_file() and an absolute path, something not supported in REL_10_STABLE. While on it, this adds a new test to check that the history file has been restored by looking at the logs of the second standby. This ensures that a RECOVERYHISTORY, whose removal needs to be checked, is created in the first place. This should make the test more robust. This test has been introduced by df86e52, but it came in light as an effect of the bug fixed by acf1dd42, where the extra restore_command calls made the test much slower.

* Rethink the delay-checkpoint-end mechanism in the back-branches.Robert Haas2022-04-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The back-patch of commit bbace5697df12398e87ffd9879171c39d27f5b33 had the unfortunate effect of changing the layout of PGPROC in the back-branches, which could break extensions. This happened because it changed the delayChkpt from type bool to type int. So, change it back, and add a new bool delayChkptEnd field instead. The new field should fall within what used to be padding space within the struct, and so hopefully won't cause any extensions to break. Per report from Markus Wanner and discussion with Tom Lane and others. Patch originally by me, somewhat revised by Markus Wanner per a suggestion from Michael Paquier.

* pageinspect: Fix handling of all-zero pagesMichael Paquier2022-04-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Getting from get_raw_page() an all-zero page is considered as a valid case by the buffer manager and it can happen for example when finding a corrupted page with zero_damaged_pages enabled (using zero_damaged_pages to look at corrupted pages happens), or after a crash when a relation file is extended before any WAL for its new data is generated (before a vacuum or autovacuum job comes in to do some cleanup). However, all the functions of pageinspect, as of the index AMs (except hash that has its own idea of new pages), heap, the FSM or the page header have never worked with all-zero pages, causing various crashes when going through the page internals. This commit changes all the pageinspect functions to be compliant with all-zero pages, where the choice is made to return NULL or no rows for SRFs when finding a new page. get_raw_page() still works the same way, returning a batch of zeros in the bytea of the page retrieved. A hard error could be used but NULL, while more invasive, is useful when scanning relation files in full to get a batch of results for a single relation in one query. Tests are added for all the code paths impacted.

* Prevent access to no-longer-pinned buffer in heapam_tuple_lock().Tom Lane2022-04-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | heap_fetch() used to have a "keep_buf" parameter that told it to return ownership of the buffer pin to the caller after finding that the requested tuple TID exists but is invisible to the specified snapshot. This was thoughtlessly removed in commit 5db6df0c0, which broke heapam_tuple_lock() (formerly EvalPlanQualFetch) because that function needs to do more accesses to the tuple even if it's invisible. The net effect is that we would continue to touch the page for a microsecond or two after releasing pin on the buffer. Usually no harm would result; but if a different session decided to defragment the page concurrently, we could see garbage data and mistakenly conclude that there's no newer tuple version to chain up to. (It's hard to say whether this has happened in the field. The bug was actually found thanks to a later change that allowed valgrind to detect accesses to non-pinned buffers.) The most reasonable way to fix this is to reintroduce keep_buf, although I made it behave slightly differently: buffer ownership is passed back only if there is a valid tuple at the requested TID. In HEAD, we can just add the parameter back to heap_fetch(). To avoid an API break in the back branches, introduce an additional function heap_fetch_extended() in those branches. In HEAD there is an additional, less obvious API change: tuple->t_data will be set to NULL in all cases where buffer ownership is not returned, in particular when the tuple exists but fails the time qual (and !keep_buf). This is to defend against any other callers attempting to access non-pinned buffers. We concluded that making that change in back branches would be more likely to introduce problems than cure any. In passing, remove a comment about heap_fetch that was obsoleted by 9a8ee1dc6. Per bug #17462 from Daniil Anisimov. Back-patch to v12 where the bug was introduced.

* Docs: wording improvement for compute_query_id = regressDavid Rowley2022-04-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | It's more accurate to say that the query identifier is not shown when compute_query_id = regress rather than to say it is hidden. This change (ebf6c5249) appeared in v14, so it makes sense to backpatch this small adjustment to keep the documents consistent between v14 and master.

* Doc: tweak textsearch.sgml for SEO purposes.Tom Lane2022-04-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Google seems to like to return textsearch.html for queries about GIN and GiST indexes, even though it's not a primary reference for either. It seems likely that that's because those keywords appear in the page title. Since "GIN and GiST Index Types" is not a very apposite title for this material anyway, rename the section in hopes of stopping that. Also provide explicit links to the GIN and GiST chapters, to help anyone who finds their way to this page regardless. Per gripe from Jan Piotrowski. Back-patch to supported branches. (Unfortunately Google is likely to continue returning the 9.1 version of this page, but improving that situation is a matter for the www team.)

* Docs: avoid confusing use of the word "synchronized"David Rowley2022-04-13
| | | | | | | | | | | It's misleading to call the data directory the "synchronized data directory" when discussing a crash scenario when using pg_rewind's --no-sync option. Here we just remove the word "synchronized" to avoid any possible confusion.

* Suppress "variable 'pagesaving' set but not used" warning.Tom Lane2022-04-06
| | | | | | | With asserts disabled, late-model clang notices that this variable is incremented but never otherwise read. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/3171401.1649275153@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Remove race condition in 022_crash_temp_files.pl test.Tom Lane2022-04-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's possible for the query that "waits for restart" to complete a successful iteration before the postmaster has noticed its SIGKILL'd child and begun the restart cycle. (This is a bit hard to believe perhaps, but it's been seen at least twice in the buildfarm, mainly on ancient platforms that likely have quirky schedulers.) To provide a more secure interlock, wait for the other session we're using to report that it's been forcibly shut down. Patch by me, based on a suggestion from Andres Freund. Back-patch to v14 where this test case came in. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/1801850.1649047827@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Update some tests in 013_crash_restart.pl.Tom Lane2022-04-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | The expected backend message after SIGQUIT changed in commit 7e784d1dc, but we missed updating this test case. Also, experience shows that we might sometimes get "could not send data to server" instead of either of the libpq messages the test is looking for. Per report from Mark Dilger. Back-patch to v14 where the backend message changed. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/17BD82D7-49AC-40C9-8204-E7ADD30321A0@enterprisedb.com
* Doc: Remove MultiXact wraparound section link.Peter Geoghegan2022-04-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | Remove circular "25.1.5.1. Multixacts And Wraparound" link that references the section that the link itself appears in. An explanation of MultiXactId age appears only a few sentences before the link, so there's no question that the link is superfluous at best. Oversight in commit d5409295.
