* Add portlock directory to .gitignoreAndrew Dunstan2022-11-26
| | | | | | | | | | Commit 9b4eafcaf4 added creattion of a directory to reserve TAP test ports at the top of the build tree. In a non-vpath build this means at the top of the source tree, so it needs to be added to .gitignore. As suggested by Michael Paquier Backpatch to all live branches.

* Fix uninitialized access to InitialRunningXacts during decoding.Amit Kapila2022-11-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In commit 272248a0c, we introduced an InitialRunningXacts array to remember transactions and subtransactions that were running when the xl_running_xacts record that we decoded was written. This array was allocated in the snapshot builder memory context after we restore serialized snapshot but we forgot to reset the array while freeing the builder memory context. So, the next time when we start decoding in the same session where we don't restore any serialized snapshot, we ended up using the uninitialized array and that can lead to unpredictable behavior. This problem doesn't exist in HEAD as instead of using InitialRunningXacts, we added the list of transaction IDs and sub-transaction IDs, that have modified catalogs and are running during snapshot serialization, to the serialized snapshot (see commit 7f13ac8123).

* YA attempt at taming worst-case behavior of get_actual_variable_range.Tom Lane2022-11-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We've made multiple attempts at preventing get_actual_variable_range from taking an unreasonable amount of time (3ca930fc3, fccebe421). But there's still an issue for the very first planning attempt after deletion of a large number of extremal-valued tuples. While that planning attempt will set "killed" bits on the tuples it visits and thereby reduce effort for next time, there's still a lot of work it has to do to visit the heap and then set those bits. It's (usually?) not worth it to do that much work at plan time to have a slightly better estimate, especially in a context like this where the table contents are known to be mutating rapidly. Therefore, let's bound the amount of work to be done by giving up after we've visited 100 heap pages. Giving up just means we'll fall back on the extremal value recorded in pg_statistic, so it shouldn't mean that planner estimates suddenly become worthless. Note that this means we'll still gradually whittle down the problem by setting a few more index "killed" bits in each planning attempt; so eventually we'll reach a good state (barring further deletions), even in the absence of VACUUM. Simon Riggs, per a complaint from Jakub Wartak (with cosmetic adjustments by me). Back-patch to all supported branches.

* Prevent port collisions between concurrent TAP testsAndrew Dunstan2022-11-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently there is a race condition where if concurrent TAP tests both test that they can open a port they will assume that it is free and use it, causing one of them to fail. To prevent this we record a reservation using an exclusive lock, and any TAP test that discovers a reservation checks to see if the reserving process is still alive, and looks for another free port if it is. Ports are reserved in a directory set by the environment setting PG_TEST_PORT_DIR, or if that doesn't exist a subdirectory of the top build directory as set by Makefile.global, or its own tmp_check directory. The prove_check recipe in Makefile.global.in is extended to export top_builddir to the TAP tests. This was already exported by the prove_installcheck recipes.

* Add comments and a missing CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS in ts_headline.Tom Lane2022-11-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I just spent an annoying amount of time reverse-engineering the 100%-undocumented API between ts_headline and the text search parser's prsheadline function. Add some commentary about that while it's fresh in mind. Also remove some unused macros in wparser_def.c. While at it, I noticed that when commit 78e73e875 added a CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS call in TS_execute_recurse, it missed doing so in the parallel function TS_phrase_execute, which surely needs one just as much. Back-patch because of the missing CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS. Might as well back-patch the rest of this too.
* Fix mislabeling of PROC_QUEUE->links as PGPROC, fixing UBSan on 32bitAndres Freund2022-11-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ProcSleep() used a PGPROC* variable to point to PROC_QUEUE->links.next, because that does "the right thing" with SHMQueueInsertBefore(). While that largely works, it's certainly not correct and unnecessary - we can just use SHM_QUEUE* to point to the insertion point. Noticed when testing a 32bit of postgres with undefined behavior sanitizer. UBSan noticed that sometimes the supposed PGPROC wasn't sufficiently aligned (required since 46d6e5f5679, ensured indirectly, via ShmemAllocRaw() guaranteeing cacheline alignment). For now fix this by using a SHM_QUEUE* for the insertion point. Subsequently we should replace all the use of PROC_QUEUE and SHM_QUEUE with ilist.h, but that's a larger change that we don't want to backpatch. Backpatch to all supported versions - it's useful to be able to run postgres under UBSan.

* Replace RelationOpenSmgr() with RelationGetSmgr().Tom Lane2022-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a back-patch of the v15-era commit f10f0ae42 into older supported branches. The idea is to design out bugs in which an ill-timed relcache flush clears rel->rd_smgr partway through some code sequence that wasn't expecting that. We had another report today of a corner case that reliably crashes v14 under debug_discard_caches (nee CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS), and therefore would crash once in a blue moon in the field. We're unlikely to get rid of all such code paths unless we adopt the more rigorous coding rules instituted by f10f0ae42. Therefore, even though this is a bit invasive, it's time to back-patch. Some comfort can be taken in the fact that f10f0ae42 has been in v15 for 16 months without problems. I left the RelationOpenSmgr macro present in the back branches, even though no core code should use it anymore, in order to not break third-party extensions in minor releases. Such extensions might opt to start using RelationGetSmgr instead, to reduce their code differential between v15 and earlier branches. This carries a hazard of failing to compile against headers from existing minor releases. However, once compiled the extension should work fine even with such releases, because RelationGetSmgr is a "static inline" function so it creates no link-time dependency. So depending on distribution practices, that might be an OK tradeoff. Per report from Spyridon Dimitrios Agathos. Original patch by Amul Sul.

* Fix theoretical torn page hazard.Jeff Davis2022-11-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The original report was concerned with a possible inconsistency between the heap and the visibility map, which I was unable to confirm. The concern has been retracted. However, there did seem to be a torn page hazard when using checksums. By not setting the heap page LSN during redo, the protections of minRecoveryPoint were bypassed. Fixed, along with a misleading comment. It may have been impossible to hit this problem in practice, because it would require a page tear between the checksum and the flags, so I am marking this as a theoretical risk. But, as discussed, it did violate expectations about the page LSN, so it may have other consequences. Backpatch to all supported versions.

* Re-allow building on Microsoft Visual Studio 2013.Tom Lane2022-11-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In commit 450ee7012 I supposed that all platforms we now care about have snprintf(), since that's required by C99. Turns out that Microsoft did not get around to adding that until VS2015. We've dropped support for VS2013 as of HEAD (cf 6203583b7), but not in the back branches, so add a hack for this in the back branches only. There's no easy shortcut to an exact emulation of standard snprintf in VS2013, but fortunately we don't need one: this code was just fine with using sprintf before 450ee7012, so we can make it do so again on that platform (and any others where the problem might crop up).

* Fix compilation warnings with libselinux 3.1 in contrib/sepgsql/Michael Paquier2022-11-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Upstream SELinux has recently marked security_context_t as officially deprecated, causing warnings with -Wdeprecated-declarations. This is considered as legacy code for some time now by upstream as security_context_t got removed from most of the code tree during the development of 2.3 back in 2014. This removes all the references to security_context_t in sepgsql/ to be consistent with SELinux, fixing the warnings. Note that this does not impact the minimum version of libselinux supported. This has been applied first as 1f32136 for 14~, but no other branches got the call. This is in line with the recent project policy to have no warnings in branches where builds should still be supported (9.2~ as of today). Per discussion with Tom Lane and Álvaro Herrera.

* Doc: improve tutorial section about grouped aggregates.Tom Lane2022-11-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit fede15417 introduced FILTER by jamming it into the existing example introducing HAVING, which seems pedagogically poor to me; and it added no information about what the keyword actually does. Not to mention that the claimed output didn't match the sample data being used in this running example. Revert that and instead make an independent example using FILTER. To help drive home the point that it's a per-aggregate filter, we need to use two aggregates not just one; for consistency expand all the examples in this segment to do that. Also adjust the example using WHERE ... LIKE so that it'd produce nonempty output with this sample data, and show that output. Back-patch, as the previous patch was. (Sadly, v10 is now out of scope.)

* Avoid crash after function syntax error in a replication worker.Tom Lane2022-11-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a syntax error occurred in a SQL-language or PL/pgSQL-language CREATE FUNCTION or DO command executed in a logical replication worker, we'd suffer a null pointer dereference or assertion failure. That seems like a rather contrived case, but nonetheless worth fixing. The cause is that function_parse_error_transpose assumes it must be executing within the context of a Portal, but logical/worker.c doesn't create a Portal since it's not running the standard executor. We can just back off the hard Assert check and make it fail gracefully if there's not an ActivePortal. (I have a feeling that the aggressive check here was my fault originally, probably because I wasn't sure if the case would always hold and wanted to find out. Well, now we know.) The hazard seems to exist in all branches that have logical replication, so back-patch to v10.

* Allow use of __sync_lock_test_and_set for spinlocks on any machine.Tom Lane2022-11-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If we have no special-case code in s_lock.h for the current platform, but the compiler has __sync_lock_test_and_set, use that instead of failing. It's unlikely that anybody's __sync_lock_test_and_set would be so awful as to be worse than our semaphore-based fallback, but if it is, they can (continue to) use --disable-spinlocks. This allows removal of the RISC-V special case installed by commit c32fcac56, which generated exactly the same code but only on that platform. Usefully, the RISC-V buildfarm animals should now test at least the int variant of this patch. I've manually tested both variants on ARM by dint of removing the ARM-specific stanza. We don't want to drop that, because it already has some special knowledge and is likely to grow more over time.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | DST law changes in Chile, Fiji, Iran, Jordan, Mexico, Palestine, and Syria. Historical corrections for Chile, Crimea, Iran, and Mexico. Also, the Europe/Kiev zone has been renamed to Europe/Kyiv (retaining the old name as a link). The following zones have been merged into nearby, more-populous zones whose clocks have agreed since 1970: Antarctica/Vostok, Asia/Brunei, Asia/Kuala_Lumpur, Atlantic/Reykjavik, Europe/Amsterdam, Europe/Copenhagen, Europe/Luxembourg, Europe/Monaco, Europe/Oslo, Europe/Stockholm, Indian/Christmas, Indian/Cocos, Indian/Kerguelen, Indian/Mahe, Indian/Reunion, Pacific/Chuuk, Pacific/Funafuti, Pacific/Majuro, Pacific/Pohnpei, Pacific/Wake and Pacific/Wallis. (This indirectly affects zones that were already links to one of these: Arctic/Longyearbyen, Atlantic/Jan_Mayen, Iceland, Pacific/Ponape, Pacific/Truk, and Pacific/Yap.) America/Nipigon, America/Rainy_River, America/Thunder_Bay, Europe/Uzhgorod, and Europe/Zaporozhye were also merged into nearby zones after discovering that their claimed post-1970 differences from those zones seem to have been errors. While the IANA crew have been working on merging zones that have no post-1970 differences for some time, this batch of changes affects some zones that are significantly more populous than those merged in the past, notably parts of Europe. The loss of pre-1970 timezone history for those zones may be troublesome for applications expecting consistency of timestamptz display. As an example, the stored value '1944-06-01 12:00 UTC' would previously display as '1944-06-01 13:00:00+01' if the Europe/Stockholm zone is selected, but now it will read out as '1944-06-01 14:00:00+02'. There exists a "packrat" option that will build the timezone data files with this old data preserved, but the problem is that it also resurrects a bunch of other, far less well-attested data; so much so that actually more zones' contents change from 2022a with that option than without it. I have chosen not to do that here, for that reason and because it appears that no major OS distributions are using the "packrat" option, so that doing so would cause Postgres' behavior to diverge significantly depending on whether it was built with --with-system-tzdata. However, for anyone for whom these changes pose significant problems, there is a solution: build a set of timezone files with the "packrat" option and use those with Postgres.
* pg_stat_statements: fetch stmt location/length before it disappears.Tom Lane2022-11-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When executing a utility statement, we must fetch everything we need out of the PlannedStmt data structure before calling standard_ProcessUtility. In certain cases (possibly only ROLLBACK in extended query protocol), that data structure will get freed during command execution. The situation is probably often harmless in production builds, but in debug builds we intentionally overwrite the freed memory with garbage, leading to picking up garbage values of statement location and length, typically causing an assertion failure later in pg_stat_statements. In non-debug builds, if something did go wrong it would likely lead to storing garbage for the query string. Report and fix by zhaoqigui (with cosmetic adjustments by me).

* Fix ordering issue with WAL operations in GIN fast insert pathMichael Paquier2022-10-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Contrary to what is documented in src/backend/access/transam/README, ginHeapTupleFastInsert() had a few ordering issues with the way it does its WAL operations when inserting items in its fast path. First, when using a separate list, XLogBeginInsert() was being always called before START_CRIT_SECTION(), and in this case a second thing was wrong when merging lists, as an exclusive lock was taken on the tail page *before* calling XLogBeginInsert(). Finally, when inserting items into a tail page, the order of XLogBeginInsert() and START_CRIT_SECTION() was reversed. This commit addresses all these issues by moving the calls of XLogBeginInsert() after all the pages logged are locked and pinned, within a critical section.

* pg_basebackup: Fix cross-platform tablespace relocation.Robert Haas2022-10-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Specifically, when pg_basebackup is invoked with -Tx=y, don't error out if x could plausibly be an absolute path either on Windows or on non-Windows systems. We don't know whether the remote system is running the same OS as the local system, so it's not appropriate to assume that our local rule about absolute pathnames is the same as the rule on the remote system. Patch by me, reviewed by Tom Lane, Andrew Dunstan, and Davinder Singh. Discussion: http://postgr.es/m/CA+TgmoY+jC3YiskomvYKDPK3FbrmsDU7_8+wMHt02HOdJeRb0g@mail.gmail.com

* Fix executing invalidation messages generated by subtransactions during ↵Amit Kapila2022-10-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | decoding. This problem has been introduced by commit 272248a0c1 where we started assigning the subtransactions to the top-level transaction when we mark both the top-level transaction and its subtransactions as containing catalog changes. After we assign subtransactions to the top-level transaction, we were not allowed to execute any invalidations associated with it when we decide to skip the transaction. The reason to assign the subtransactions to the top-level transaction was to avoid the assertion failure in AssertTXNLsnOrder() as they have the same LSN when we sometimes start accumulating transaction changes for partial transactions after the restart. Now that with commit 64ff0fe4e8, we skip this assertion check until we reach the LSN at which we start decoding the contents of the transaction, so, there is no reason for such an assignment anymore. The assignment change was introduced in 15 and prior versions but this bug doesn't exist in branches prior to 14 since we don't add invalidation messages to subtransactions. We decided to backpatch through 11 for consistency but not for 10 since its final release is near.

* Fix assertion failures while processing NEW_CID record in logical decoding.Amit Kapila2022-10-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the logical decoding restarts from NEW_CID, since there is no association between the top transaction and its subtransaction, both are created as top transactions and have the same LSN. This caused the assertion failure in AssertTXNLsnOrder(). This patch skips the assertion check until we reach the LSN at which we start decoding the contents of the transaction, specifically start_decoding_at LSN in SnapBuild. This is okay because we don't guarantee to make the association between top transaction and subtransaction until we try to decode the actual contents of transaction. The ordering of the records prior to the start_decoding_at LSN should have been checked before the restart. The other assertion failure is due to the reason that we forgot to track that we have considered top-level transaction id in the list of catalog changing transactions that were committed when one of its subtransactions is marked as containing catalog change.

* Reject non-ON-SELECT rules that are named "_RETURN".Tom Lane2022-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | DefineQueryRewrite() has long required that ON SELECT rules be named "_RETURN". But we overlooked the converse case: we should forbid non-ON-SELECT rules that are named "_RETURN". In particular this prevents using CREATE OR REPLACE RULE to overwrite a view's _RETURN rule with some other kind of rule, thereby breaking the view. Per bug #17646 from Kui Liu. Back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/17646-70c93cfa40365776@postgresql.org
* Guard against table-AM-less relations in planner.Tom Lane2022-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The executor will dump core if it's asked to execute a seqscan on a relation having no table AM, such as a view. While that shouldn't really happen, it's possible to get there via catalog corruption, such as a missing ON SELECT rule. It seems worth installing a defense against that. There are multiple plausible places for such a defense, but I picked the planner's get_relation_info(). Per discussion of bug #17646 from Kui Liu. Back-patch to v12 where the tableam APIs were introduced; in older versions you won't get a SIGSEGV, so it seems less pressing. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/17646-70c93cfa40365776@postgresql.org
* Rename parser token REF to REF_P to avoid a symbol conflict.Tom Lane2022-10-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the latest version of Apple's macOS SDK, <sys/socket.h> fails to compile if "REF" is #define'd as something. Apple may or may not agree that this is a bug, and even if they do accept the bug report I filed, they probably won't fix it very quickly. In the meantime, our back branches will all fail to compile gram.y. v15 and HEAD currently escape the problem thanks to the refactoring done in 98e93a1fc, but that's purely accidental. Moreover, since that patch removed a widely-visible inclusion of <netdb.h>, back-patching it seems too likely to break third-party code. Instead, change the token's code name to REF_P, following our usual convention for naming parser tokens that are likely to have symbol conflicts. The effects of that should be localized to the grammar and immediately surrounding files, so it seems like a safer answer. Per project policy that we want to keep recently-out-of-support branches buildable on modern systems, back-patch all the way to 9.2. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/1803927.1665938411@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Use libc's snprintf, not sprintf, for special cases in snprintf.c.Tom Lane2022-10-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | snprintf.c has always fallen back on libc's *printf implementation when printing pointers (%p) and floats. When this code originated, we were still supporting some platforms that lacked native snprintf, so we used sprintf for that. That's not actually unsafe in our usage, but nonetheless builds on macOS are starting to complain about sprintf being unconditionally deprecated; and I wouldn't be surprised if other platforms follow suit. There seems little reason to believe that any platform supporting C99 wouldn't have standards-compliant snprintf, so let's just use that instead to suppress such warnings. Back-patch to v12, which is where we started to require C99. It's also where we started to use our snprintf.c everywhere, so this wouldn't be enough to suppress the warning in older branches anyway --- that is, in older branches these aren't necessarily all our usages of libc's sprintf. It is enough in v12+ because any deprecation annotation attached to libc's sprintf won't apply to pg_sprintf. (Whether all our usages of pg_sprintf are adequately safe is not a matter I intend to address here, but perhaps it could do with some review.) Per report from Andres Freund and local testing.

* Harden pmsignal.c against clobbered shared memory.Tom Lane2022-10-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The postmaster is not supposed to do anything that depends fundamentally on shared memory contents, because that creates the risk that a backend crash that trashes shared memory will take the postmaster down with it, preventing automatic recovery. In commit 969d7cd43 I lost sight of this principle and coded AssignPostmasterChildSlot() in such a way that it could fail or even crash if the shared PMSignalState structure became corrupted. Remarkably, we've not seen field reports of such crashes; but I managed to induce one while testing the recent changes around palloc chunk headers. To fix, make a semi-duplicative state array inside the postmaster so that we need consult only local state while choosing a "child slot" for a new backend. Ensure that other postmaster-executed routines in pmsignal.c don't have critical dependencies on the shared state, either. Corruption of PMSignalState might now lead ReleasePostmasterChildSlot() to conclude that backend X failed, when actually backend Y was the one that trashed things. But that doesn't matter, because we'll force a cluster-wide reset regardless. Back-patch to all supported branches, since this is an old bug.

* Yet further fixes for multi-row VALUES lists for updatable views.Tom Lane2022-10-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | DEFAULT markers appearing in an INSERT on an updatable view could be mis-processed if they were in a multi-row VALUES clause. This would lead to strange errors such as "cache lookup failed for type NNNN", or in older branches even to crashes. The cause is that commit 41531e42d tried to re-use rewriteValuesRTE() to remove any SetToDefault nodes (that hadn't previously been replaced by the view's own default values) appearing in "product" queries, that is DO ALSO queries. That's fundamentally wrong because the DO ALSO queries might not even be INSERTs; and even if they are, their targetlists don't necessarily match the view's column list, so that almost all the logic in rewriteValuesRTE() is inapplicable. What we want is a narrow focus on replacing any such nodes with NULL constants. (That is, in this context we are interpreting the defaults as being strictly those of the view itself; and we already replaced any that aren't NULL.) We could add still more !force_nulls tests to further lobotomize rewriteValuesRTE(); but it seems cleaner to split out this case to a new function, restoring rewriteValuesRTE() to the charter it had before. Per bug #17633 from jiye_sw. Patch by me, but thanks to Richard Guo and Japin Li for initial investigation. Back-patch to all supported branches, as the previous fix was.
