* Make pg_dump error cleanly with -j against hot standbyMagnus Hagander2016-05-26
| | | | | | | Getting a synchronized snapshot is not supported on a hot standby node, and is by default taken when using -j with multiple sessions. Trying to do so still failed, but with a server error that would also go in the log. Instead, proprely detect this case and give a better error message.

* Make pg_dump behave more sanely when built without HAVE_LIBZ.Tom Lane2016-05-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For some reason the code to emit a warning and switch to uncompressed output was placed down in the guts of pg_backup_archiver.c. This is definitely too late in the case of parallel operation (and I rather wonder if it wasn't too late for other purposes as well). Put it in pg_dump.c's option-processing logic, which seems a much saner place. Also, the default behavior with custom or directory output format was to emit the warning telling you the output would be uncompressed. This seems unhelpful, so silence that case. Back-patch to 9.3 where parallel dump was introduced. Kyotaro Horiguchi, adjusted a bit by me Report: <20160526.185551.242041780.horiguchi.kyotaro@lab.ntt.co.jp>
* In Windows pg_dump, ensure idle workers will shut down during error exit.Tom Lane2016-05-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Windows coding of ShutdownWorkersHard() thought that setting termEvent was sufficient to make workers exit after an error. But that only helps if a worker is busy and passes through checkAborting(). An idle worker will just sit, resulting in pg_dump failing to exit until the user gives up and hits control-C. We should close the write end of the command pipe so that idle workers will see socket EOF and exit, as the Unix coding was already doing. Back-patch to 9.3 where parallel pg_dump was introduced.

* Ensure that backends see up-to-date statistics for shared catalogs.Tom Lane2016-05-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Ever since we split the statistics collector's reports into per-database files (commit 187492b6c2e8cafc), backends have been seeing stale statistics for shared catalogs. This is because the inquiry message only prompts the collector to write the per-database file for the requesting backend's own database. Stats for shared catalogs are in a separate file for "DB 0", which didn't get updated. In normal operation this was partially masked by the fact that the autovacuum launcher would send an inquiry message at least once per autovacuum_naptime that asked for "DB 0"; so the shared-catalog stats would never be more than a minute out of date. However the problem becomes very obvious with autovacuum disabled, as reported by Peter Eisentraut. To fix, redefine the semantics of inquiry messages so that both the specified DB and DB 0 will be dumped. (This might seem a bit inefficient, but we have no good way to know whether a backend's transaction will look at shared-catalog stats, so we have to read both groups of stats whenever we request stats. Sending two inquiry messages would definitely not be better.) Back-patch to 9.3 where the bug was introduced. Report: <56AD41AC.1030509@gmx.net>
* Fix broken error handling in parallel pg_dump/pg_restore.Tom Lane2016-05-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the original design for parallel dump, worker processes reported errors by sending them up to the master process, which would print the messages. This is unworkably fragile for a couple of reasons: it risks deadlock if a worker sends an error at an unexpected time, and if the master has already died for some reason, the user will never get to see the error at all. Revert that idea and go back to just always printing messages to stderr. This approach means that if all the workers fail for similar reasons (eg, bad password or server shutdown), the user will see N copies of that message, not only one as before. While that's slightly annoying, it's certainly better than not seeing any message; not to mention that we shouldn't assume that only the first failure is interesting. An additional problem in the same area was that the master failed to disable SIGPIPE (at least until much too late), which meant that sending a command to an already-dead worker would cause the master to crash silently. That was bad enough in itself but was made worse by the total reliance on the master to print errors: even if the worker had reported an error, you would probably not see it, depending on timing. Instead disable SIGPIPE right after we've forked the workers, before attempting to send them anything. Additionally, the master relies on seeing socket EOF to realize that a worker has exited prematurely --- but on Windows, there would be no EOF since the socket is attached to the process that includes both the master and worker threads, so it remains open. Make archive_close_connection() close the worker end of the sockets so that this acts more like the Unix case. It's not perfect, because if a worker thread exits without going through exit_nicely() the closures won't happen; but that's not really supposed to happen. This has been wrong all along, so back-patch to 9.3 where parallel dump was introduced. Report: <2458.1450894615@sss.pgh.pa.us>
* Fetch XIDs atomically during vac_truncate_clog().Tom Lane2016-05-24
| | | | | | | | | | Because vac_update_datfrozenxid() updates datfrozenxid and datminmxid in-place, it's unsafe to assume that successive reads of those values will give consistent results. Fetch each one just once to ensure sane behavior in the minimum calculation. Noted while reviewing Alexander Korotkov's patch in the same area. Discussion: <8564.1464116473@sss.pgh.pa.us>
* Avoid consuming an XID during vac_truncate_clog().Tom Lane2016-05-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | vac_truncate_clog() uses its own transaction ID as the comparison point in a sanity check that no database's datfrozenxid has already wrapped around "into the future". That was probably fine when written, but in a lazy vacuum we won't have assigned an XID, so calling GetCurrentTransactionId() causes an XID to be assigned when otherwise one would not be. Most of the time that's not a big problem ... but if we are hard up against the wraparound limit, consuming XIDs during antiwraparound vacuums is a very bad thing. Instead, use ReadNewTransactionId(), which not only avoids this problem but is in itself a better comparison point to test whether wraparound has already occurred.

* Fix latent crash in do_text_output_multiline().Tom Lane2016-05-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | do_text_output_multiline() would fail (typically with a null pointer dereference crash) if its input string did not end with a newline. Such cases do not arise in our current sources; but it certainly could happen in future, or in extension code's usage of the function, so we should fix it. To fix, replace "eol += len" with "eol = text + len". While at it, make two cosmetic improvements: mark the input string const, and rename the argument from "text" to "txt" to dodge pgindent strangeness (since "text" is a typedef name). Even though this problem is only latent at present, it seems like a good idea to back-patch the fix, since it's a very simple/safe patch and it's not out of the realm of possibility that we might in future back-patch something that expects sane behavior from do_text_output_multiline().

* Fix infer_arbiter_indexes() to not barf on system columns.Tom Lane2016-05-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | While it could be argued that rejecting system column mentions in the ON CONFLICT list is an unsupported feature, falling over altogether just because the table has a unique index on OID is indubitably a bug. As far as I can tell, fixing infer_arbiter_indexes() is sufficient to make ON CONFLICT (oid) actually work, though making a regression test for that case is problematic because of the impossibility of setting the OID counter to a known value. Minor cosmetic cleanups along with the bug fix.
* Fix assorted missing infrastructure for ON CONFLICT.Tom Lane2016-05-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | subquery_planner() failed to apply expression preprocessing to the arbiterElems and arbiterWhere fields of an OnConflictExpr. No doubt the theory was that this wasn't necessary because we don't actually try to execute those expressions; but that's wrong, because it results in failure to match to index expressions or index predicates that are changed at all by preprocessing. Per bug #14132 from Reynold Smith. Also add pullup_replace_vars processing for onConflictWhere. Perhaps it's impossible to have a subquery reference there, but I'm not exactly convinced; and even if true today it's a failure waiting to happen. Also add some comments to other places where one or another field of OnConflictExpr is intentionally ignored, with explanation as to why it's okay to do so. Also, catalog/dependency.c failed to record any dependency on the named constraint in ON CONFLICT ON CONSTRAINT, allowing such a constraint to be dropped while rules exist that depend on it, and allowing pg_dump to dump such a rule before the constraint it refers to. The normal execution path managed to error out reasonably for a dangling constraint reference, but ruleutils.c dumped core; so in addition to fixing the omission, add a protective check in ruleutils.c, since we can't retroactively add a dependency in existing databases. Back-patch to 9.5 where this code was introduced. Report: <20160510190350.2608.48667@wrigleys.postgresql.org>
* Fix autovacuum for shared relationsAlvaro Herrera2016-05-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The table-skipping logic in autovacuum would fail to consider that multiple workers could be processing the same shared catalog in different databases. This normally wouldn't be a problem: firstly because autovacuum workers not for wraparound would simply ignore tables in which they cannot acquire lock, and secondly because most of the time these tables are small enough that even if multiple for-wraparound workers are stuck in the same catalog, they would be over pretty quickly. But in cases where the catalogs are severely bloated it could become a problem. Backpatch all the way back, because the problem has been there since the beginning.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the documentation for nextval(), point out explicitly that INSERT ... ON CONFLICT will call nextval() if needed for the insertion case, whether or not it ends up following the ON CONFLICT path. This seems to be a matter of some confusion, cf bug #14126, so let's be clear about it. Also mention the issue in the CREATE SEQUENCE reference page, since that is another place where people might expect such things to be covered. Minor wording improvements nearby, as well.

* Distrust external OpenSSL clients; clear err queuePeter Eisentraut2016-05-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | OpenSSL has an unfortunate tendency to mix per-session state error handling with per-thread error handling. This can cause problems when programs that link to libpq with OpenSSL enabled have some other use of OpenSSL; without care, one caller of OpenSSL may cause problems for the other caller. Backend code might similarly be affected, for example when a third party extension independently uses OpenSSL without taking the appropriate precautions. To fix, don't trust other users of OpenSSL to clear the per-thread error queue. Instead, clear the entire per-thread queue ahead of certain I/O operations when it appears that there might be trouble (these I/O operations mostly need to call SSL_get_error() to check for success, which relies on the queue being empty). This is slightly aggressive, but it's pretty clear that the other callers have a very dubious claim to ownership of the per-thread queue. Do this is both frontend and backend code. Finally, be more careful about clearing our own error queue, so as to not cause these problems ourself. It's possibly that control previously did not always reach SSLerrmessage(), where ERR_get_error() was supposed to be called to clear the queue's earliest code. Make sure ERR_get_error() is always called, so as to spare other users of OpenSSL the possibility of similar problems caused by libpq (as opposed to problems caused by a third party OpenSSL library like PHP's OpenSSL extension). Again, do this is both frontend and backend code. See bug #12799 and https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=68276 Based on patches by Dave Vitek and Peter Eisentraut. From: Peter Geoghegan <pg@bowt.ie>

* Fix pg_upgrade to not fail when new-cluster TOAST rules differ from old.Tom Lane2016-05-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch essentially reverts commit 4c6780fd17aa43ed, in favor of a much simpler solution for the case where the new cluster would choose to create a TOAST table but the old cluster doesn't have one: just don't create a TOAST table. The existing code failed in at least two different ways if the situation arose: (1) ALTER TABLE RESET didn't grab an exclusive lock, so that the lock sanity check in create_toast_table failed; (2) pg_upgrade did not provide a pg_type OID for the new toast table, so that the crosscheck in TypeCreate failed. While both these problems were introduced by later patches, they show that the hack being used to cause TOAST table creation is overwhelmingly fragile (and untested). I also note that before the TypeCreate crosscheck was added, the code would have resulted in assigning an indeterminate pg_type OID to the toast table, possibly causing a later OID conflict in that catalog; so that it didn't really work even when committed. If we simply don't create a TOAST table, there will only be a problem if the code tries to store a tuple that's wider than a page, and field compression isn't sufficient to get it under a page. Given that the TOAST creation threshold is intended to be about a quarter of a page, it's very hard to believe that cross-version differences in the do-we-need-a-toast- table heuristic could result in an observable problem. So let's just follow the old version's conclusion about whether a TOAST table is needed. (If we ever do change needs_toast_table() so much that this conclusion doesn't apply, we can devise a solution at that time, and hopefully do it in a less klugy way than 4c6780fd17aa43ed did.) Back-patch to 9.3, like the previous patch. Discussion: <8110.1462291671@sss.pgh.pa.us>
* Fix possible read past end of string in to_timestamp().Tom Lane2016-05-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | to_timestamp() handles the TH/th format codes by advancing over two input characters, whatever those are. It failed to notice whether there were two characters available to be skipped, making it possible to advance the pointer past the end of the input string and keep on parsing. A similar risk existed in the handling of "Y,YYY" format: it would advance over three characters after the "," whether or not three characters were available. In principle this might be exploitable to disclose contents of server memory. But the security team concluded that it would be very hard to use that way, because the parsing loop would stop upon hitting any zero byte, and TH/th format codes can't be consecutive --- they have to follow some other format code, which would have to match whatever data is there. So it seems impractical to examine memory very much beyond the end of the input string via this bug; and the input string will always be in local memory not in disk buffers, making it unlikely that anything very interesting is close to it in a predictable way. So this doesn't quite rise to the level of needing a CVE. Thanks to Wolf Roediger for reporting this bug.

* Fix mishandling of equivalence-class tests in parameterized plans.Tom Lane2016-04-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Given a three-or-more-way equivalence class, such as X.Y = Y.Y = Z.Z, it was possible for the planner to omit one of the quals needed to enforce that all members of the equivalence class are actually equal. This only happened in the case of a parameterized join node for two of the relations, that is a plan tree like Nested Loop -> Scan X -> Nested Loop -> Scan Y -> Scan Z Filter: Z.Z = X.X The eclass machinery normally expects to apply X.X = Y.Y when those two relations are joined, but in this shape of plan tree they aren't joined until the top node --- and, if the lower nested loop is marked as parameterized by X, the top node will assume that the relevant eclass condition(s) got pushed down into the lower node. On the other hand, the scan of Z assumes that it's only responsible for constraining Z.Z to match any one of the other eclass members. So one or another of the required quals sometimes fell between the cracks, depending on whether consideration of the eclass in get_joinrel_parampathinfo() for the lower nested loop chanced to generate X.X = Y.Y or X.X = Z.Z as the appropriate constraint there. If it generated the latter, it'd erroneously suppose that the Z scan would take care of matters. To fix, force X.X = Y.Y to be generated and applied at that join node when this case occurs. This is *extremely* hard to hit in practice, because various planner behaviors conspire to mask the problem; starting with the fact that the planner doesn't really like to generate a parameterized plan of the above shape. (It might have been impossible to hit it before we tweaked things to allow this plan shape for star-schema cases.) Many thanks to Alexander Kirkouski for submitting a reproducible test case. The bug can be demonstrated in all branches back to 9.2 where parameterized paths were introduced, so back-patch that far.

* Adjust DatumGetBool macro, this time for sure.Tom Lane2016-04-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 23a41573c attempted to fix the DatumGetBool macro to ignore bits in a Datum that are to the left of the actual bool value. But it did that by casting the Datum to bool; and on compilers that use C99 semantics for bool, that ends up being a whole-word test, not a 1-byte test. This seems to be the true explanation for contrib/seg failing in VS2015. To fix, use GET_1_BYTE() explicitly. I think in the previous patch, I'd had some idea of not having to commit to bool being exactly 1 byte wide, but regardless of what the compiler's bool is, boolean columns and Datums are certainly 1 byte wide. The previous fix was (eventually) back-patched into all active versions, so do likewise with this one.

* Convert contrib/seg's bool-returning SQL functions to V1 call convention.Tom Lane2016-04-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It appears that we can no longer get away with using V0 call convention for bool-returning functions in newer versions of MSVC. The compiler seems to generate code that doesn't clear the higher-order bits of the result register, causing the bool result Datum to often read as "true" when "false" was intended. This is not very surprising, since the function thinks it's returning a bool-width result but fmgr_oldstyle assumes that V0 functions return "char *"; what's surprising is that that hack worked for so long on so many platforms. The only functions of this description in core+contrib are in contrib/seg, which we'd intentionally left mostly in V0 style to serve as a warning canary if V0 call convention breaks. We could imagine hacking things so that they're still V0 (we'd have to redeclare the bool-returning functions as returning some suitably wide integer type, like size_t, at the C level). But on the whole it seems better to convert 'em to V1. We can still leave the pointer- and int-returning functions in V0 style, so that the test coverage isn't gone entirely. Back-patch to 9.5, since our intention is to support VS2015 in 9.5 and later. There's no SQL-level change in the functions' behavior so back-patching should be safe enough.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The implementation of that feature involves injecting nodes into the raw parsetree where explicit parentheses appear. Various places in parse_expr.c that test to see "is this child node of type Foo" need to look through such nodes, else we'll get different behavior when operator_precedence_warning is on than when it is off. Note that we only need to handle this when testing untransformed child nodes, since the AEXPR_PAREN nodes will be gone anyway after transformExprRecurse. Per report from Scott Ribe and additional code-reading. Back-patch to 9.5 where this feature was added. Report: <ED37E303-1B0A-4CD8-8E1E-B9C4C2DD9A17@elevated-dev.com>
* Fix planner failure with full join in RHS of left join.Tom Lane2016-04-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Given a left join containing a full join in its righthand side, with the left join's joinclause referencing only one side of the full join (in a non-strict fashion, so that the full join doesn't get simplified), the planner could fail with "failed to build any N-way joins" or related errors. This happened because the full join was seen as overlapping the left join's RHS, and then recent changes within join_is_legal() caused that function to conclude that the full join couldn't validly be formed. Rather than try to rejigger join_is_legal() yet more to allow this, I think it's better to fix initsplan.c so that the required join order is explicit in the SpecialJoinInfo data structure. The previous coding there essentially ignored full joins, relying on the fact that we don't flatten them in the joinlist data structure to preserve their ordering. That's sufficient to prevent a wrong plan from being formed, but as this example shows, it's not sufficient to ensure that the right plan will be formed. We need to work a bit harder to ensure that the right plan looks sane according to the SpecialJoinInfos. Per bug #14105 from Vojtech Rylko. This was apparently induced by commit 8703059c6 (though now that I've seen it, I wonder whether there are related cases that could have failed before that); so back-patch to all active branches. Unfortunately, that patch also went into 9.0, so this bug is a regression that won't be fixed in that branch.
* Improve TranslateSocketError() to handle more Windows error codes.Tom Lane2016-04-21
