* Doc: clarify locking requirements for ALTER TABLE ADD FOREIGN KEY.Tom Lane2020-04-10
| | | | | | | | | The docs explained that a SHARE ROW EXCLUSIVE lock is needed on the referenced table, but failed to say the same about the table being altered. Since the page says that ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock is taken unless otherwise stated, this left readers with the wrong conclusion.

* Doc: sync CREATE GROUP syntax synopsis with CREATE ROLE.Tom Lane2020-04-10
| | | | | | | | | | | CREATE GROUP is an exact alias for CREATE ROLE, and CREATE USER is almost an exact alias, as can easily be confirmed by checking the code. So the man page syntax descriptions ought to match up. The last few additions of role options seem to have forgotten to update create_group.sgml, though. Fix that, and add a naggy reminder to create_role.sgml in hopes of not forgetting again. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/158647836143.655.9853963229391401576@wrigleys.postgresql.org
* Fix pg_dump/pg_restore to restore event trigger comments later.Tom Lane2020-04-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Repair an oversight in commit 8728b2c70: if we're postponing restore of event triggers to the end, we must also postpone restoring any comments on them, since of course we cannot create the comments first. (This opens yet another opportunity for an event trigger to bollix the restore, but there's no help for that.) Per bug #16346 from Alexander Lakhin. Like the previous commit, back-patch to all supported branches. Hamid Akhtar and Tom Lane Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/16346-6210ad7a0ea81be1@postgresql.org
* Fix circle_in to accept "(x,y),r" as it's advertised to do.Tom Lane2020-04-07
| | | | | | | | | | | Our documentation describes four allowed input syntaxes for circles, but the regression tests tried only three ... with predictable consequences. Remarkably, this has been wrong since the circle datatype was added in 1997, but nobody noticed till now.

* Adjust bytea get_bit/set_bit to cope with bytea strings > 256MB.Tom Lane2020-04-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since the existing bit number argument can't exceed INT32_MAX, it's not possible for these functions to manipulate bits beyond the first 256MB of a bytea value. However, it'd be good if they could do at least that much, and not fall over entirely for longer bytea values. Adjust the comparisons to be done in int64 arithmetic so that works. Also tweak the error reports to show sane values in case of overflow. Also add some test cases to improve the miserable code coverage of these functions. Apply patch to back branches only; HEAD has a better solution as of commit 26a944cf2. Extracted from a much larger patch by Movead Li Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20200312115135445367128@highgo.ca
* Stabilize new GIN test case in 9.5 branch.Tom Lane2020-04-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | In 9.6 and up, gin_test_tbl has autovacuum_enabled = off thanks to commit f8a1c1d5a. 9.5 lacked that, which allowed autovacuum to bollix the results of the test case added by commit 8150f7813. We could fool with disabling seqscan around that test, but making this branch look more like the later ones seems a better answer. Per buildfarm member protosciurus. (I'm not very sure why protosciurus is the only animal to report this so far; but it'd clearly be a timing-related failure, so it's not astonishing that only some machines would show it.)
* Preserve clustered index after rewrites with ALTER TABLEMichael Paquier2020-04-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | A table rewritten by ALTER TABLE would lose tracking of an index usable for CLUSTER. This setting is tracked by pg_index.indisclustered and is controlled by ALTER TABLE, so some extra work was needed to restore it properly. Note that ALTER TABLE only marks the index that can be used for clustering, and does not do the actual operation.

* Use TransactionXmin instead of RecentGlobalXmin in heap_abort_speculative().Andres Freund2020-04-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's a very low risk that RecentGlobalXmin could be far enough in the past to be older than relfrozenxid, or even wrapped around. Luckily the consequences of that having happened wouldn't be too bad - the page wouldn't be pruned for a while. Avoid that risk by using TransactionXmin instead. As that's announced via MyPgXact->xmin, it is protected against wrapping around (see code comments for details around relfrozenxid).

* Save errno across LWLockRelease() callsPeter Eisentraut2020-04-05

* Fix bugs in gin_fuzzy_search_limit processing.Tom Lane2020-04-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | entryGetItem()'s three code paths each contained bugs associated with filtering the entries for gin_fuzzy_search_limit. The posting-tree path failed to advance "advancePast" after having decided to filter an item. If we ran out of items on the current page and needed to advance to the next, what would actually happen is that entryLoadMoreItems() would re-load the same page. Eventually, the random dropItem() test would accept one of the same items it'd previously rejected, and we'd move on --- but it could take awhile with small gin_fuzzy_search_limit. To add insult to injury, this case would inevitably cause entryLoadMoreItems() to decide it needed to re-descend from the root, making things even slower. The posting-list path failed to implement gin_fuzzy_search_limit filtering at all, so that all entries in the posting list would be returned. The bitmap-result path used a "gotitem" variable that it failed to update in the one place where it'd actually make a difference, ie at the one "continue" statement. I think this was unreachable in practice, because if we'd looped around then it shouldn't be the case that the entries on the new page are before advancePast. Still, the "gotitem" variable was contributing nothing to either clarity or correctness, so get rid of it. Refactor all three loops so that the termination conditions are more alike and less unreadable. The code coverage report showed that we had no coverage at all for the re-descend-from-root code path in entryLoadMoreItems(), which seems like a very bad thing, so add a test case that exercises it. We also had exactly no coverage for gin_fuzzy_search_limit, so add a simplistic test case that at least hits those code paths a little bit. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* Fix bogus CALLED_AS_TRIGGER() defenses.Tom Lane2020-04-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | contrib/lo's lo_manage() thought it could use trigdata->tg_trigger->tgname in its error message about not being called as a trigger. That naturally led to a core dump. unique_key_recheck() figured it could Assert that fcinfo->context is a TriggerData node in advance of having checked that it's being called as a trigger. That's harmless in production builds, and perhaps not that easy to reach in any case, but it's logically wrong. The first of these per bug #16340 from William Crowell; the second from manual inspection of other CALLED_AS_TRIGGER call sites.

* Back-patch addition of stack overflow and interrupt checks for lquery.Tom Lane2020-03-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Experimentation shows that it's not hard at all to drive the old implementation of "ltree ~ lquery" match to stack overflow, so throw in a check_stack_depth() call, as I just did in HEAD. I wasn't able to make it take a long time, because all the pathological cases I tried hit stack overflow first; but I bet there are some others that do take a long time, so add CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() too.

* Be more careful about extracting encoding from locale strings on Windows.Tom Lane2020-03-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | GetLocaleInfoEx() can fail on strings that setlocale() was perfectly happy with. A common way for that to happen is if the locale string is actually a Unix-style string, say "et_EE.UTF-8". In that case, what's after the dot is an encoding name, not a Windows codepage number; blindly treating it as a codepage number led to failure, with a fairly silly error message. Hence, check to see if what's after the dot is all digits, and if not, treat it as a literal encoding name rather than a codepage number. This will do the right thing with many Unix-style locale strings, and produce a more sensible error message otherwise. Somewhat independently of that, treat a zero (CP_ACP) result from GetLocaleInfoEx() as meaning that we must use UTF-8 encoding. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* Doc: correct misstatement about ltree label maximum length.Tom Lane2020-03-29

* Protect against overflow of ltree.numlevel and lquery.numlevel.Tom Lane2020-03-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These uint16 fields could be overflowed by excessively long input, producing strange results. Complain for invalid input. Likewise check for out-of-range values of the repeat counts in lquery. (We don't try too hard on that one, notably not bothering to detect if atoi's result has overflowed.) Also detect length overflow in ltree_concat. In passing, be more consistent about whether "syntax error" messages include the type name. Also, clarify the documentation about what the size limit is. This has been broken for a long time, so back-patch to all supported branches.

* Ensure snapshot is registered within ScanPgRelation().Andres Freund2020-03-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In 9.4 I added support to use a historical snapshot in ScanPgRelation(), while adding logical decoding. Unfortunately a conflict with the concurrent removal of SnapshotNow was incorrectly resolved, leading to an unregistered snapshot being used. It is not correct to use an unregistered (or non-active) snapshot for anything non-trivial, because catalog invalidations can cause the snapshot to be invalidated. Luckily it seems unlikely to actively cause problems in practice, as ScanPgRelation() requires that we already have a lock on the relation, we only look for a single row, and we don't appear to rely on the result's tid to be correct. It however is clearly wrong and potential negative consequences would likely be hard to find. So it seems worth backpatching the fix, even without a concrete hazard.

* Ensure that plpgsql cleans up cleanly during parallel-worker exit.Tom Lane2020-03-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | plpgsql_xact_cb ought to treat events XACT_EVENT_PARALLEL_COMMIT and XACT_EVENT_PARALLEL_ABORT like XACT_EVENT_COMMIT and XACT_EVENT_ABORT respectively, since its goal is to do process-local cleanup. This oversight caused plpgsql's end-of-transaction cleanup to not get done in parallel workers. Since a parallel worker will exit just after the transaction cleanup, the effects of this are limited. I couldn't find any case in the core code with user-visible effects, but perhaps there are some in extensions. In any case it's wrong, so let's fix it before it bites us not after. In passing, add some comments around the handling of expression evaluation resources in DO blocks. There's no live bug there, but it's quite unobvious what's happening; at least I thought so. This isn't related to the other issue, except that I found both things while poking at expression-evaluation performance. Back-patch the plpgsql_xact_cb fix to 9.5 where those event types were introduced, and the DO-block commentary to v11 where DO blocks gained the ability to issue COMMIT/ROLLBACK.

* Drop slot's LWLock before returning from SaveSlotToPath()Peter Eisentraut2020-03-26

* Fix our getopt_long's behavior for a command line argument of just "-".Tom Lane2020-03-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | src/port/getopt_long.c failed on such an argument, always seeing it as an unrecognized switch. This is unhelpful; better is to treat such an item as a non-switch argument. That behavior is what we find in GNU's getopt_long(); it's what src/port/getopt.c does; and it is required by POSIX for getopt(), which getopt_long() ought to be generally a superset of. Moreover, it's expected by ecpg, which intends an argument of "-" to mean "read from stdin". So fix it. Also add some documentation about ecpg's behavior in this area, since that was miserably underdocumented. I had to reverse-engineer it from the code. Per bug #16304 from James Gray.

* Skip WAL for new relfilenodes, under wal_level=minimal.Noah Misch2020-03-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Until now, only selected bulk operations (e.g. COPY) did this. If a given relfilenode received both a WAL-skipping COPY and a WAL-logged operation (e.g. INSERT), recovery could lose tuples from the COPY. See src/backend/access/transam/README section "Skipping WAL for New RelFileNode" for the new coding rules. Maintainers of table access methods should examine that section. To maintain data durability, just before commit, we choose between an fsync of the relfilenode and copying its contents to WAL. A new GUC, wal_skip_threshold, guides that choice. If this change slows a workload that creates small, permanent relfilenodes under wal_level=minimal, try adjusting wal_skip_threshold. Users setting a timeout on COMMIT may need to adjust that timeout, and log_min_duration_statement analysis will reflect time consumption moving to COMMIT from commands like COPY. Internally, this requires a reliable determination of whether RollbackAndReleaseCurrentSubTransaction() would unlink a relation's current relfilenode. Introduce rd_firstRelfilenodeSubid. Amend the specification of rd_createSubid such that the field is zero when a new rel has an old rd_node. Make relcache.c retain entries for certain dropped relations until end of transaction. Back-patch to 9.5 (all supported versions). This introduces a new WAL record type, XLOG_GIST_ASSIGN_LSN, without bumping XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC. As always, update standby systems before master systems. This changes sizeof(RelationData) and sizeof(IndexStmt), breaking binary compatibility for affected extensions.

* During heap rebuild, lock any TOAST index until end of transaction.Noah Misch2020-03-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | swap_relation_files() calls toast_get_valid_index() to find and lock this index, just before swapping with the rebuilt TOAST index.

* Restructure polymorphic-type resolution in funcapi.c.Tom Lane2020-03-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | resolve_polymorphic_tupdesc() and resolve_polymorphic_argtypes() failed to cover the case of having to resolve anyarray given only an anyrange input. The bug was masked if anyelement was also used (as either input or output), which probably helps account for our not having noticed. While looking at this I noticed that resolve_generic_type() would produce the wrong answer if asked to make that same resolution. ISTM that resolve_generic_type() is confusingly defined and overly complex, so rather than fix it, let's just make funcapi.c do the specific lookups it requires for itself. With this change, resolve_generic_type() is not used anywhere, so remove it in HEAD. In the back branches, leave it alone (complete with bug) just in case any external code is using it. While we're here, make some other refactoring adjustments in funcapi.c with an eye to upcoming future expansion of the set of polymorphic types: * Simplify quick-exit tests by adding an overall have_polymorphic_result flag. This is about a wash now but will be a win when there are more flags. * Reduce duplication of code between resolve_polymorphic_tupdesc() and resolve_polymorphic_argtypes(). * Don't bother to validate correct matching of anynonarray or anyenum; the parser should have done that, and even if it didn't, just doing "return false" here would lead to a very confusing, off-point error message. (Really, "return false" in these two functions should only occur if the call_expr isn't supplied or we can't obtain data type info from it.) * For the same reason, throw an elog rather than "return false" if we fail to resolve a polymorphic type. The bug's been there since we added anyrange, so back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/6093.1584202130@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Preserve replica identity index across ALTER TABLE rewritePeter Eisentraut2020-03-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | If an index was explicitly set as replica identity index, this setting was lost when a table was rewritten by ALTER TABLE. Because this setting is part of pg_index but actually controlled by ALTER TABLE (not part of CREATE INDEX, say), we have to do some extra work to restore it.

* Fix nextXid tracking bug on standbys (9.5-11 only).Thomas Munro2020-03-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | RecordKnownAssignedTransactionIds() should never move nextXid backwards. Before this commit, that could happen if some other code path had advanced it without advancing latestObservedXid. One consequence is that a well timed XLOG_CHECKPOINT_ONLINE could cause hot standby feedback messages to get confused and report an xmin from a future epoch, potentially allowing vacuum to run too soon on the primary. Repair, by making sure RecordKnownAssignedTransactionIds() can only move nextXid forwards. In release 12 and master, this was already done by commit 2fc7af5e, which consolidated similar code and straightened out this bug. Back-patch to supported releases before that.

* Fix pg_dump/pg_restore to restore event triggers later.Tom Lane2020-03-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, event triggers were restored just after regular triggers (and FK constraints, which are basically triggers). This is risky since an event trigger, once installed, could interfere with subsequent restore commands. Worse, because event triggers don't have any particular dependencies on any post-data objects, a parallel restore would consider them eligible to be restored the moment the post-data phase starts, allowing them to also interfere with restoration of a whole bunch of objects that would have been restored before them in a serial restore. There's no way to completely remove the risk of a misguided event trigger breaking the restore, since if nothing else it could break other event triggers. But we can certainly push them to later in the process to minimize the hazard. To fix, tweak the RestorePass mechanism introduced by commit 3eb9a5e7c so that event triggers are handled as part of the post-ACL processing pass (renaming the "REFRESH" pass to "POST_ACL" to reflect its more general use). This will cause them to restore after everything except matview refreshes, which seems OK since matview refreshes really ought to run in the post-restore state of the database. In a parallel restore, event triggers and matview refreshes might be intermixed, but that seems all right as well. Also update the code and comments in pg_dump_sort.c so that its idea of how things are sorted agrees with what actually happens due to the RestorePass mechanism. This is mostly cosmetic: it'll affect the order of objects in a dump's TOC, but not the actual restore order. But not changing that would be quite confusing to somebody reading the code.

* Fix bug that causes to report waiting in PS display twice, in hot standby.Fujii Masao2020-03-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously "waiting" could appear twice via PS in case of lock conflict in hot standby mode. Specifically this issue happend when the delay in WAL application determined by max_standby_archive_delay and max_standby_streaming_delay had passed but it took more than 500 msec to cancel all the conflicting transactions. Especially we can observe this easily by setting those delay parameters to -1. The cause of this issue was that WaitOnLock() and ResolveRecoveryConflictWithVirtualXIDs() added "waiting" to the process title in that case. This commit prevents ResolveRecoveryConflictWithVirtualXIDs() from reporting waiting in case of lock conflict, to fix the bug. Back-patch to all back branches.

* Avoid assertion failure with targeted recovery in standby mode.Fujii Masao2020-03-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At the end of recovery, standby mode is turned off to re-fetch the last valid record from archive or pg_wal. Previously, if recovery target was reached and standby mode was turned off while the current WAL source was stream, recovery could try to retrieve WAL file containing the last valid record unexpectedly from stream even though not in standby mode. This caused an assertion failure. That is, the assertion test confirms that WAL file should not be retrieved from stream if standby mode is not true. This commit moves back the current WAL source to archive if it's stream even though not in standby mode, to avoid that assertion failure. This issue doesn't cause the server to crash when built with assertion disabled. In this case, the attempt to retrieve WAL file from stream not in standby mode just fails. And then recovery tries to retrieve WAL file from archive or pg_wal. Back-patch to all supported branches.
