* Fix buffile.c error handling.Thomas Munro2020-06-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Convert buffile.c error handling to use ereport. This fixes cases where I/O errors were indistinguishable from EOF or not reported. Also remove "%m" from error messages where errno would be bogus. While we're modifying those strings, add block numbers and short read byte counts where appropriate. Back-patch to all supported releases.

* Fix behavior of float aggregates for single Inf or NaN inputs.Tom Lane2020-06-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When there is just one non-null input value, and it is infinity or NaN, aggregates such as stddev_pop and covar_pop should produce a NaN result, because the calculation is not well-defined. They used to do so, but since we adopted Youngs-Cramer aggregation in commit e954a727f, they produced zero instead. That's an oversight, so fix it. Add tests exercising these edge cases. Affected aggregates are var_pop(double precision) stddev_pop(double precision) var_pop(real) stddev_pop(real) regr_sxx(double precision,double precision) regr_syy(double precision,double precision) regr_sxy(double precision,double precision) regr_r2(double precision,double precision) regr_slope(double precision,double precision) regr_intercept(double precision,double precision) covar_pop(double precision,double precision) corr(double precision,double precision) Back-patch to v12 where the behavior change was accidentally introduced.

* Fix mishandling of NaN counts in numeric_[avg_]combine.Tom Lane2020-06-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When merging two NumericAggStates, the code missed adding the new state's NaNcount unless its N was also nonzero; since those counts are independent, this is wrong. This would only have visible effect if some partial aggregate scans found only NaNs while earlier ones found only non-NaNs; then we could end up falsely deciding that there were no NaNs and fail to return a NaN final result as expected. That's pretty improbable, so it's no surprise this hasn't been reported from the field. Still, it's a bug. I didn't try to produce a regression test that would show the bug, but I did notice that these functions weren't being reached at all in our regression tests, so I improved the tests to at least exercise them. With these additions, I see pretty complete code coverage on the aggregation-related functions in numeric.c. Back-patch to 9.6 where this code was introduced. (I only added the improved test case as far back as v10, though, since the relevant part of aggregates.sql isn't there at all in 9.6.)
* Avoid update conflict out serialization anomalies.Peter Geoghegan2020-06-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | SSI's HeapCheckForSerializableConflictOut() test failed to correctly handle conditions involving a concurrently inserted tuple which is later concurrently updated by a separate transaction . A SELECT statement that called HeapCheckForSerializableConflictOut() could end up using the same XID (updater's XID) for both the original tuple, and the successor tuple, missing the XID of the xact that created the original tuple entirely. This only happened when neither tuple from the chain was visible to the transaction's MVCC snapshot. The observable symptoms of this bug were subtle. A pair of transactions could commit, with the later transaction failing to observe the effects of the earlier transaction (because of the confusion created by the update to the non-visible row). This bug dates all the way back to commit dafaa3ef, which added SSI. To fix, make sure that we check the xmin of concurrently inserted tuples that happen to also have been updated concurrently.

* Avoid need for valgrind suppressions for pg_atomic_init_u64 on some platforms.Andres Freund2020-06-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously we used pg_atomic_write_64_impl inside pg_atomic_init_u64. That works correctly, but on platforms without 64bit single copy atomicity it could trigger spurious valgrind errors about uninitialized memory, because we use compare_and_swap for atomic writes on such platforms. I previously suppressed one instance of this problem (6c878edc1df), but as Tom reports that wasn't enough. As the atomic variable cannot yet be concurrently accessible during initialization, it seems better to have pg_atomic_init_64_impl set the value directly. Change pg_atomic_init_u32_impl for symmetry.

* Try to read data from the socket in pqSendSome's write_failed paths.Tom Lane2020-06-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Even when we've concluded that we have a hard write failure on the socket, we should continue to try to read data. This gives us an opportunity to collect any final error message that the backend might have sent before closing the connection; moreover it is the job of pqReadData not pqSendSome to close the socket once EOF is detected. Due to an oversight in 1f39a1c06, pqSendSome failed to try to collect data in the case where we'd already set write_failed. The problem was masked for ordinary query operations (which really only make one write attempt anyway), but COPY to the server would continue to send data indefinitely after a mid-COPY connection loss. Hence, add pqReadData calls into the paths where pqSendSome drops data because of write_failed. If we've lost the connection, this will eventually result in closing the socket and setting CONNECTION_BAD, which will cause PQputline and siblings to report failure, allowing the application to terminate the COPY sooner. (Basically this restores what happened before 1f39a1c06.) There are related issues that this does not solve; for example, if the backend sends an error but doesn't drop the connection, we did and still will keep pumping COPY data as long as the application sends it. Fixing that will require application-visible behavior changes though, and anyway it's an ancient behavior that we've had few complaints about. For now I'm just trying to fix the regression from 1f39a1c06. Per a complaint from Andres Freund. Back-patch into v12 where 1f39a1c06 came in.

* Use query collation, not column's collation, while examining statistics.Tom Lane2020-06-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 5e0928005 changed the planner so that, instead of blindly using DEFAULT_COLLATION_OID when invoking operators for selectivity estimation, it would use the collation of the column whose statistics we're considering. This was recognized as still being not quite the right thing, but it seemed like a good incremental improvement. However, shortly thereafter we introduced nondeterministic collations, and that creates cases where operators can fail if they're passed the wrong collation. We don't want planning to fail in cases where the query itself would work, so this means that we *must* use the query's collation when invoking operators for estimation purposes. The only real problem this creates is in ineq_histogram_selectivity, where the binary search might produce a garbage answer if we perform comparisons using a different collation than the column's histogram is ordered with. However, when the query's collation is significantly different from the column's default collation, the estimate we previously generated would be pretty irrelevant anyway; so it's not clear that this will result in noticeably worse estimates in practice. (A follow-on patch will improve this situation in HEAD, but it seems too invasive for back-patch.) The patch requires changing the signatures of mcv_selectivity and allied functions, which are exported and very possibly are used by extensions. In HEAD, I just did that, but an API/ABI break of this sort isn't acceptable in stable branches. Therefore, in v12 the patch introduces "mcv_selectivity_ext" and so on, with signatures matching HEAD, and makes the old functions into wrappers that assume DEFAULT_COLLATION_OID should be used. That does not match the prior behavior, but it should avoid risk of failure in most cases. (In practice, I think most extension datatypes aren't collation-aware, so the change probably doesn't matter to them.) Per report from James Lucas. Back-patch to v12 where the problem was introduced.

* Reject "23:59:60.nnn" in datetime input.Tom Lane2020-06-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's intentional that we don't allow values greater than 24 hours, while we do allow "24:00:00" as well as "23:59:60" as inputs. However, the range check was miscoded in such a way that it would accept "23:59:60.nnn" with a nonzero fraction. For time or timetz, the stored result would then be greater than "24:00:00" which would fail dump/reload, not to mention possibly confusing other operations. Fix by explicitly calculating the result and making sure it does not exceed 24 hours. (This calculation is redundant with what will happen later in tm2time or tm2timetz. Maybe someday somebody will find that annoying enough to justify refactoring to avoid the duplication; but that seems too invasive for a back-patched bug fix, and the cost is probably unmeasurable anyway.) Note that this change also rejects such input as the time portion of a timestamp(tz) value. Back-patch to v10. The bug is far older, but to change this pre-v10 we'd need to ensure that the logic behaves sanely with float timestamps, which is possibly nontrivial due to roundoff considerations. Doesn't really seem worth troubling with. Per report from Christoph Berg. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20200520125807.GB296739@msg.df7cb.de

* Don't call palloc() while holding a spinlock, either.Tom Lane2020-06-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix some more violations of the "only straight-line code inside a spinlock" rule. These are hazardous not only because they risk holding the lock for an excessively long time, but because it's possible for palloc to throw elog(ERROR), leaving a stuck spinlock behind. copy_replication_slot() had two separate places that did pallocs while holding a spinlock. We can make the code simpler and safer by copying the whole ReplicationSlot struct into a local variable while holding the spinlock, and then referencing that copy. (While that's arguably more cycles than we really need to spend holding the lock, the struct isn't all that big, and this way seems far more maintainable than copying fields piecemeal. Anyway this is surely much cheaper than a palloc.) That bug goes back to v12. InvalidateObsoleteReplicationSlots() not only did a palloc while holding a spinlock, but for extra sloppiness then leaked the memory --- probably for the lifetime of the checkpointer process, though I didn't try to verify that. Fortunately that silliness is new in HEAD. pg_get_replication_slots() had a cosmetic violation of the rule, in that it only assumed it's safe to call namecpy() while holding a spinlock. Still, that's a hazard waiting to bite somebody, and there were some other cosmetic coding-rule violations in the same function, so clean it up. I back-patched this as far as v10; the code exists before that but it looks different, and this didn't seem important enough to adapt the patch further back.

* Fix crashes with currtid() and currtid2()Michael Paquier2020-06-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A relation that has no storage initializes rd_tableam to NULL, which caused those two functions to crash because of a pointer dereference. Note that in 11 and older versions, this has always failed with a confusing error "could not open file". These two functions are used by the Postgres ODBC driver, which requires them only when connecting to a backend strictly older than 8.1. When connected to 8.2 or a newer version, the driver uses a RETURNING clause instead whose support has been added in 8.2, so it should be possible to just remove both functions in the future. This is left as an issue to address later. While on it, add more regression tests for those functions as we never really had coverage for them, and for aggregates of TIDs.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In a logical replication subscriber, a table using REPLICA IDENTITY FULL which has a primary key would try to use the primary key's index available to scan for a tuple, but an assertion only assumed as correct the case of an index associated to REPLICA IDENTITY USING INDEX. This commit corrects the assertion so as the use of a primary key index is a valid case.

* Fix bogus initialization of replication origin shared memory state.Tom Lane2020-05-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The previous coding zeroed out offsetof(ReplicationStateCtl, states) more bytes than it was entitled to, as a consequence of starting the zeroing from the wrong pointer (or, if you prefer, using the wrong calculation of how much to zero). It's unsurprising that this has not caused any reported problems, since it can be expected that the newly-allocated block is at the end of what we've used in shared memory, and we always make the shmem block substantially bigger than minimally necessary. Nonetheless, this is wrong and it could bite us someday; plus it's a dangerous model for somebody to copy. This dates back to the introduction of this code (commit 5aa235042), so back-patch to all supported branches.
* Avoid killing btree items that are already deadAlvaro Herrera2020-05-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | _bt_killitems marks btree items dead when a scan leaves the page where they live, but it does so with only share lock (to improve concurrency). This was historicall okay, since killing a dead item has no consequences. However, with the advent of data checksums and wal_log_hints, this action incurs a WAL full-page-image record of the page. Multiple concurrent processes would write the same page several times, leading to WAL bloat. The probability of this happening can be reduced by only killing items if they're not already dead, so change the code to do that. The problem could eliminated completely by having _bt_killitems upgrade to exclusive lock upon seeing a killable item, but that would reduce concurrency so it's considered a cure worse than the disease. Backpatch all the way back to 9.5, since wal_log_hints was introduced in 9.4.
