* Fix pg_dump so pg_upgrade'ing an extension with simple opfamilies works.Tom Lane2016-04-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As reported by Michael Feld, pg_upgrade'ing an installation having extensions with operator families that contain just a single operator class failed to reproduce the extension membership of those operator families. This caused no immediate ill effects, but would create problems when later trying to do a plain dump and restore, because the seemingly-not-part-of- the-extension operator families would appear separately in the pg_dump output, and then would conflict with the families created by loading the extension. This has been broken ever since extensions were introduced, and many of the standard contrib extensions are affected, so it's a bit astonishing nobody complained before. The cause of the problem is a perhaps-ill-considered decision to omit such operator families from pg_dump's output on the grounds that the CREATE OPERATOR CLASS commands could recreate them, and having explicit CREATE OPERATOR FAMILY commands would impede loading the dump script into pre-8.3 servers. Whatever the merits of that decision when 8.3 was being written, it looks like a poor tradeoff now. We can fix the pg_upgrade problem simply by removing that code, so that the operator families are dumped explicitly (and then will be properly made to be part of their extensions). Although this fixes the behavior of future pg_upgrade runs, it does nothing to clean up existing installations that may have improperly-linked operator families. Given the small number of complaints to date, maybe we don't need to worry about providing an automated solution for that; anyone who needs to clean it up can do so with manual "ALTER EXTENSION ADD OPERATOR FAMILY" commands, or even just ignore the duplicate-opfamily errors they get during a pg_restore. In any case we need this fix. Back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: <20228.1460575691@sss.pgh.pa.us>
* Fix freshly-introduced PL/Python portability bug.Tom Lane2016-04-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It turns out that those PyErr_Clear() calls I removed from plpy_elog.c in 7e3bb080387f4143 et al were not quite as random as they appeared: they mask a Python 2.3.x bug. (Specifically, it turns out that PyType_Ready() can fail if the error indicator is set on entry, and PLy_traceback's fetch of frame.f_code may be the first operation in a session that requires the "frame" type to be readied. Ick.) Put back the clear call, but in a more centralized place closer to what it's protecting, and this time with a comment warning what it's really for. Per buildfarm member prairiedog. Although prairiedog was only failing on HEAD, it seems clearly possible for this to occur in older branches as well, so back-patch to 9.2 the same as the previous patch.
* Fix access-to-already-freed-memory issue in plpython's error handling.Tom Lane2016-04-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | PLy_elog() could attempt to access strings that Python had already freed, because the strings that PLy_get_spi_error_data() returns are simply pointers into storage associated with the error "val" PyObject. That's fine at the instant PLy_get_spi_error_data() returns them, but just after that PLy_traceback() intentionally releases the only refcount on that object, allowing it to be freed --- so that the strings we pass to ereport() are dangling pointers. In principle this could result in garbage output or a coredump. In practice, I think the risk is pretty low, because there are no Python operations between where we decrement that refcount and where we use the strings (and copy them into PG storage), and thus no reason for Python to recycle the storage. Still, it's clearly hazardous, and it leads to Valgrind complaints when running under a Valgrind that hasn't been lobotomized to ignore Python memory allocations. The code was a mess anyway: we fetched the error data out of Python (clearing Python's error indicator) with PyErr_Fetch, examined it, pushed it back into Python with PyErr_Restore (re-setting the error indicator), then immediately pulled it back out with another PyErr_Fetch. Just to confuse matters even more, there were some gratuitous-and-yet-hazardous PyErr_Clear calls in the "examine" step, and we didn't get around to doing PyErr_NormalizeException until after the second PyErr_Fetch, making it even less clear which object was being manipulated where and whether we still had a refcount on it. (If PyErr_NormalizeException did substitute a different "val" object, it's possible that the problem could manifest for real, because then we'd be doing assorted Python stuff with no refcount on the object we have string pointers into.) So, rearrange all that into some semblance of sanity, and don't decrement the refcount on the Python error objects until the end of PLy_elog(). In HEAD, I failed to resist the temptation to reformat some messy bits from 5c3c3cd0a3046339 along the way. Back-patch as far as 9.2, because the code is substantially the same that far back. I believe that 9.1 has the bug as well; but the code around it is rather different and I don't want to take a chance on breaking something for what seems a low-probability problem.

* Disallow newlines in parameter values to be set in ALTER SYSTEM.Tom Lane2016-04-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As noted by Julian Schauder in bug #14063, the configuration-file parser doesn't support embedded newlines in string literals. While there might someday be a good reason to remove that restriction, there doesn't seem to be one right now. However, ALTER SYSTEM SET could accept strings containing newlines, since many of the variable-specific value-checking routines would just see a newline as whitespace. This led to writing a postgresql.auto.conf file that was broken and had to be removed manually. Pending a reason to work harder, just throw an error if someone tries this. In passing, fix several places in the ALTER SYSTEM logic that failed to provide an errcode() for an ereport(), and thus would falsely log the failure as an internal XX000 error. Back-patch to 9.4 where ALTER SYSTEM was introduced.
* Fix latent portability issue in pgwin32_dispatch_queued_signals().Tom Lane2016-04-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The first iteration of the signal-checking loop would compute sigmask(0) which expands to 1<<(-1) which is undefined behavior according to the C standard. The lack of field reports of trouble suggest that it evaluates to 0 on all existing Windows compilers, but that's hardly something to rely on. Since signal 0 isn't a queueable signal anyway, we can just make the loop iterate from 1 instead, and save a few cycles as well as avoiding the undefined behavior. In passing, avoid evaluating the volatile expression UNBLOCKED_SIGNAL_QUEUE twice in a row; there's no reason to waste cycles like that. Noted by Aleksander Alekseev, though this isn't his proposed fix. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* Avoid possibly-unsafe use of Windows' FormatMessage() function.Tom Lane2016-03-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | Whenever this function is used with the FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_SYSTEM flag, it's good practice to include FORMAT_MESSAGE_IGNORE_INSERTS as well. Otherwise, if the message contains any %n insertion markers, the function will try to fetch argument strings to substitute --- which we are not passing, possibly leading to a crash. This is exactly analogous to the rule about not giving printf() a format string you're not in control of. Noted and patched by Christian Ullrich. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* Change various Gin*Is* macros to return 0/1.Andres Freund2016-03-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Returning the direct result of bit arithmetic, in a macro intended to be used in a boolean manner, can be problematic if the return value is stored in a variable of type 'bool'. If bool is implemented using C99's _Bool, that can lead to comparison failures if the variable is then compared again with the expression (see ginStepRight() for an example that fails), as _Bool forces the result to be 0/1. That happens in some configurations of newer MSVC compilers. It's also problematic when storing the result of such an expression in a narrower type. Several gin macros have been declared in that style since gin's initial commit in 8a3631f8d86. There's a lot more macros like this, but this is the only one causing regression test failures; and I don't want to commit and backpatch a larger patch with lots of conflicts just before the next set of minor releases.

* Modernize zic's test for valid timezone abbreviations.Tom Lane2016-03-26
| | | | | | | | | We really need to sync all of our IANA-derived timezone code with upstream, but that's going to be a large patch and I certainly don't care to shove such a thing into stable branches immediately before a release. As a stopgap, copy just the tzcode2016c logic that checks validity of timezone abbreviations. This prevents getting multiple "time zone abbreviation differs from POSIX standard" bleats with tzdata 2014b and later.
* Update time zone data files to tzdata release 2016c.Tom Lane2016-03-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | DST law changes in Azerbaijan, Chile, Haiti, Palestine, and Russia (Altai, Astrakhan, Kirov, Sakhalin, Ulyanovsk regions). Historical corrections for Lithuania, Moldova, Russia (Kaliningrad, Samara, Volgograd). As of 2015b, the keepers of the IANA timezone database started to use numeric time zone abbreviations (e.g., "+04") instead of inventing abbreviations not found in the wild like "ASTT". This causes our rather old copy of zic to whine "warning: time zone abbreviation differs from POSIX standard" several times during "make install". This warning is harmless according to the IANA folk, and I don't see any problems with these abbreviations in some simple tests; but it seems like now would be a good time to update our copy of the tzcode stuff. I'll look into that soon.
* Remove dependency on psed for MSVC builds.Andrew Dunstan2016-03-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | Modern Perl has removed psed from its core distribution, so it might not be readily available on some build platforms. We therefore replace its use with a Perl script generated by s2p, which is equivalent to the sed script. The latter is retained for non-MSVC builds to avoid creating a new hard dependency on Perl for non-Windows tarball builds. Backpatch to all live branches. Michael Paquier and me.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In HEAD, fix incorrect field width for hours part of OF when tm_gmtoff is negative. This was introduced by commit 2d87eedc1d4468d3 as a result of falsely applying a pattern that's correct when + signs are omitted, which is not the case for OF. In 9.4, fix missing abs() call that allowed a sign to be attached to the minutes part of OF. This was fixed in 9.5 by 9b43d73b3f9bef27, but for inscrutable reasons not back-patched. In all three versions, ensure that the sign of tm_gmtoff is correctly reported even when the GMT offset is less than 1 hour. Add regression tests, which evidently we desperately need here.

* Fix "pg_bench -C -M prepared".Tom Lane2016-03-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This didn't work because when we dropped and re-established a database connection, we did not bother to reset session-specific state such as the statements-are-prepared flags. The st->prepared[] array certainly needs to be flushed, and I cleared a couple of other fields as well that couldn't possibly retain meaningful state for a new connection. In passing, fix some bogus comments and strange field order choices. Per report from Robins Tharakan.

* Cope if platform declares mbstowcs_l(), but not locale_t, in <xlocale.h>.Tom Lane2016-03-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, we included <xlocale.h> only if necessary to get the definition of type locale_t. According to notes in PGAC_TYPE_LOCALE_T, this is important because on some versions of glibc that file supplies an incompatible declaration of locale_t. (This info may be obsolete, because on my RHEL6 box that seems to be the *only* definition of locale_t; but there may still be glibc's in the wild for which it's a live concern.) It turns out though that on FreeBSD and maybe other BSDen, you can get locale_t from stdlib.h or locale.h but mbstowcs_l() and friends only from <xlocale.h>. This was leaving us compiling calls to mbstowcs_l() and friends with no visible prototype, which causes a warning and could possibly cause actual trouble, since it's not declared to return int. Hence, adjust the configure checks so that we'll include <xlocale.h> either if it's necessary to get type locale_t or if it's necessary to get a declaration of mbstowcs_l(). Report and patch by Aleksander Alekseev, somewhat whacked around by me. Back-patch to all supported branches, since we have been using mbstowcs_l() since 9.1.
* Add missing NULL terminator to list_SECURITY_LABEL_preposition[].Tom Lane2016-03-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | On the machines I tried this on, pressing TAB after SECURITY LABEL led to being offered ON and FOR as intended, plus random other keywords (varying across machines). But if you were a bit more unlucky you'd get a crash, as reported by nummervet@mail.ru in bug #14019. Seems to have been an aboriginal error in the SECURITY LABEL patch, commit 4d355a8336e0f226. Hence, back-patch to all supported versions. There's no bug in HEAD, though, thanks to our recent tab-completion rewrite.
* Avoid crash on old Windows with AVX2-capable CPU for VS2013 buildsMagnus Hagander2016-03-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Visual Studio 2013 CRT generates invalid code when it makes a 64-bit build that is later used on a CPU that supports AVX2 instructions using a version of Windows before 7SP1/2008R2SP1. Detect this combination, and in those cases turn off the generation of FMA3, per recommendation from the Visual Studio team. The bug is actually in the CRT shipping with Visual Studio 2013, but Microsoft have stated they're only fixing it in newer major versions. The fix is therefor conditioned specifically on being built with this version of Visual Studio, and not previous or later versions. Author: Christian Ullrich
* Avoid unlikely data-loss scenarios due to rename() without fsync.Andres Freund2016-03-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Renaming a file using rename(2) is not guaranteed to be durable in face of crashes. Use the previously added durable_rename()/durable_link_or_rename() in various places where we previously just renamed files. Most of the changed call sites are arguably not critical, but it seems better to err on the side of too much durability. The most prominent known case where the previously missing fsyncs could cause data loss is crashes at the end of a checkpoint. After the actual checkpoint has been performed, old WAL files are recycled. When they're filled, their contents are fdatasynced, but we did not fsync the containing directory. An OS/hardware crash in an unfortunate moment could then end up leaving that file with its old name, but new content; WAL replay would thus not replay it.

* Introduce durable_rename() and durable_link_or_rename().Andres Freund2016-03-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Renaming a file using rename(2) is not guaranteed to be durable in face of crashes; especially on filesystems like xfs and ext4 when mounted with data=writeback. To be certain that a rename() atomically replaces the previous file contents in the face of crashes and different filesystems, one has to fsync the old filename, rename the file, fsync the new filename, fsync the containing directory. This sequence is not generally adhered to currently; which exposes us to data loss risks. To avoid having to repeat this arduous sequence, introduce durable_rename(), which wraps all that. Also add durable_link_or_rename(). Several places use link() (with a fallback to rename()) to rename a file, trying to avoid replacing the target file out of paranoia. Some of those rename sequences need to be durable as well. There seems little reason extend several copies of the same logic, so centralize the link() callers. This commit does not yet make use of the new functions; they're used in a followup commit.

* Fix incorrect handling of NULL index entries in indexed ROW() comparisons.Tom Lane2016-03-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | An index search using a row comparison such as ROW(a, b) > ROW('x', 'y') would stop upon reaching a NULL entry in the "b" column, ignoring the fact that there might be non-NULL "b" values associated with later values of "a". This happens because _bt_mark_scankey_required() marks the subsidiary scankey for "b" as required, which is just wrong: it's for a column after the one with the first inequality key (namely "a"), and thus can't be considered a required match. This bit of brain fade dates back to the very beginnings of our support for indexed ROW() comparisons, in 2006. Kind of astonishing that no one came across it before Glen Takahashi, in bug #14010. Back-patch to all supported versions. Note: the given test case doesn't actually fail in unpatched 9.1, evidently because the fix for bug #6278 (i.e., stopping at nulls in either scan direction) is required to make it fail. I'm sure I could devise a case that fails in 9.1 as well, perhaps with something involving making a cursor back up; but it doesn't seem worth the trouble.

* Further improvements to c8f621c43.Andres Freund2016-03-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Coverity and inspection for the issue addressed in fd45d16f found some questionable code. Specifically coverity noticed that the wrong length was added in ReorderBufferSerializeChange() - without immediate negative consequences as the variable isn't used afterwards. During code-review and testing I noticed that a bit of space was wasted when allocating tuple bufs in several places. Thirdly, the debug memset()s in ReorderBufferGetTupleBuf() reduce the error checking valgrind can do. Backpatch: 9.4, like c8f621c43.

That happens to currently not cause active problems on a number of platforms because the affected pointer is already aligned, but others, like ppc and hppa, trigger this in the regression test, due to a debug memset clearing memory. Fix that. Backpatch: 9.4, like the previous commit.
* Fix not-terribly-safe coding in NIImportOOAffixes() and NIImportAffixes().Tom Lane2016-03-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There were two places in spell.c that supposed that they could search for a location in a string produced by lowerstr() and then transpose the offset into the original string. But this fails completely if lowerstr() transforms any characters into characters of different byte length, as can happen in Turkish UTF8 for instance. We'd added some comments about this coding in commit 51e78ab4ff328296, but failed to realize that it was not merely confusing but wrong. Coverity complained about this code years ago, but in such an opaque fashion that nobody understood what it was on about. I'm not entirely sure that this issue *is* what it's on about, actually, but perhaps this patch will shut it up -- and in any case the problem is clear. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* logical decoding: Fix handling of large old tuples with replica identity full.Andres Freund2016-03-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When decoding the old version of an UPDATE or DELETE change, and if that tuple was bigger than MaxHeapTupleSize, we either Assert'ed out, or failed in more subtle ways in non-assert builds. Normally individual tuples aren't bigger than MaxHeapTupleSize, with big datums toasted. But that's not the case for the old version of a tuple for logical decoding; the replica identity is logged as one piece. With the default replica identity btree limits that to small tuples, but that's not the case for FULL. Change the tuple buffer infrastructure to separate allocate over-large tuples, instead of always going through the slab cache. This unfortunately requires changing the ReorderBufferTupleBuf definition, we need to store the allocated size someplace. To avoid requiring output plugins to recompile, don't store HeapTupleHeaderData directly after HeapTupleData, but point to it via t_data; that leaves rooms for the allocated size. As there's no reason for an output plugin to look at ReorderBufferTupleBuf->t_data.header, remove the field. It was just a minor convenience having it directly accessible.

* logical decoding: old/newtuple in spooled UPDATE changes was switched around.Andres Freund2016-03-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Somehow I managed to flip the order of restoring old & new tuples when de-spooling a change in a large transaction from disk. This happens to only take effect when a change is spooled to disk which has old/new versions of the tuple. That only is the case for UPDATEs where he primary key changed or where replica identity is changed to FULL. The tests didn't catch this because either spooled updates, or updates that changed primary keys, were tested; not both at the same time. Found while adding tests for the following commit.

* logical decoding: Tell reorderbuffer about all xids.Andres Freund2016-03-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Logical decoding's reorderbuffer keeps transactions in an LSN ordered list for efficiency. To make that's efficiently possible upper-level xids are forced to be logged before nested subtransaction xids. That only works though if these records are all looked at: Unfortunately we didn't do so for e.g. row level locks, which are otherwise uninteresting for logical decoding. This could lead to errors like: "ERROR: subxact logged without previous toplevel record". It's not sufficient to just look at row locking records, the xid could appear first due to a lot of other types of records (which will trigger the transaction to be marked logged with MarkCurrentTransactionIdLoggedIfAny). So invent infrastructure to tell reorderbuffer about xids seen, when they'd otherwise not pass through reorderbuffer.c.

* Ignore recovery_min_apply_delay until recovery has reached consistent stateFujii Masao2016-03-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously recovery_min_apply_delay was applied even before recovery had reached consistency.

* Force synchronous_commit=on in test_decoding's concurrent_ddl_dml.spec.Andres Freund2016-03-03
| | | | | | | | Otherwise running installcheck-force on a server with synchronous_commit=off will result in the tests failing. All the other tests already do so... Backpatch: 9.4, where logical decoding was added
* Fix json_to_record() bug with nested objects.Tom Lane2016-03-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A thinko concerning nesting depth caused json_to_record() to produce bogus output if a field of its input object contained a sub-object with a field name matching one of the requested output column names. Per bug #13996 from Johann Visagie. I added a regression test case based on his example, plus parallel tests for json_to_recordset, jsonb_to_record, jsonb_to_recordset. The latter three do not exhibit the same bug (which suggests that we may be missing some opportunities to share code...) but testing seems like a good idea in any case. Back-patch to 9.4 where these functions were introduced.
* Improve error message for rejecting RETURNING clauses with dropped columns.Tom Lane2016-02-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This error message was written with only ON SELECT rules in mind, but since then we also made RETURNING-clause targetlists go through the same logic. This means that you got a rather off-topic error message if you tried to add a rule with RETURNING to a table having dropped columns. Ideally we'd just support that, but some preliminary investigation says that it might be a significant amount of work. Seeing that Nicklas Avén's complaint is the first one we've gotten about this in the ten years or so that the code's been like that, I'm unwilling to put much time into it. Instead, improve the error report by issuing a different message for RETURNING cases, and revise the associated comment based on this investigation. Discussion: 1456176604.17219.9.camel@jordogskog.no

* Remove useless unary plus.Tom Lane2016-02-29
| | | | | | | | It's harmless, but might confuse readers. Seems to have been introduced in 6bc8ef0b7f1f1df3. Back-patch, just to avoid cosmetic cross-branch differences. Amit Langote
