* 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.

* Fix unexpected side-effects of operator_precedence_warning.Tom Lane2016-04-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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
| | | | | | The coverage was rather lean for cases that bind() or listen() might return. Add entries for everything that there's a direct equivalent for in the set of Unix errnos that elog.c has heard of.
* Remove dead code in win32.h.Tom Lane2016-04-21
| | | | | | | | | | | There's no longer a need for the MSVC-version-specific code stanza that forcibly redefines errno code symbols, because since commit 73838b52 we're unconditionally redefining them in the stanza before this one anyway. Now it's merely confusing and ugly, so get rid of it; and improve the comment that explains what's going on here. Although this is just cosmetic, back-patch anyway since I'm intending to back-patch some less-cosmetic changes in this same hunk of code.
* PGDLLIMPORT-ify old_snapshot_threshold.Tom Lane2016-04-21
| | | | | | | Revert commit 7cb1db1d9599f0a09d6920d2149d956ef6d88b0e, which represented a misunderstanding of the problem (if snapmgr.h weren't already included in bufmgr.h, things wouldn't compile anywhere). Instead install what I think is the real fix.
* Fix ruleutils.c's dumping of ScalarArrayOpExpr containing an EXPR_SUBLINK.Tom Lane2016-04-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we shoehorned "x op ANY (array)" into the SQL syntax, we created a fundamental ambiguity as to the proper treatment of a sub-SELECT on the righthand side: perhaps what's meant is to compare x against each row of the sub-SELECT's result, or perhaps the sub-SELECT is meant as a scalar sub-SELECT that delivers a single array value whose members should be compared against x. The grammar resolves it as the former case whenever the RHS is a select_with_parens, making the latter case hard to reach --- but you can get at it, with tricks such as attaching a no-op cast to the sub-SELECT. Parse analysis would throw away the no-op cast, leaving a parsetree with an EXPR_SUBLINK SubLink directly under a ScalarArrayOpExpr. ruleutils.c was not clued in on this fine point, and would naively emit "x op ANY ((SELECT ...))", which would be parsed as the first alternative, typically leading to errors like "operator does not exist: text = text[]" during dump/reload of a view or rule containing such a construct. To fix, emit a no-op cast when dumping such a parsetree. This might well be exactly what the user wrote to get the construct accepted in the first place; and even if she got there with some other dodge, it is a valid representation of the parsetree. Per report from Karl Czajkowski. He mentioned only a case involving RLS policies, but actually the problem is very old, so back-patch to all supported branches.

* Fix assorted defects in 09adc9a8c09c9640de05c7023b27fb83c761e91c.Robert Haas2016-04-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | That commit increased all shared memory allocations to the next higher multiple of PG_CACHE_LINE_SIZE, but it didn't ensure that allocation started on a cache line boundary. It also failed to remove a couple other pieces of now-useless code. BUFFERALIGN() is perhaps obsolete at this point, and likely should be removed at some point, too, but that seems like it can be left to a future cleanup. Mistakes all pointed out by Andres Freund. The patch is mine, with a few extra assertions which I adopted from his version of this fix.

* Allow queries submitted by postgres_fdw to be canceled.Robert Haas2016-04-21
| | | | | | | | | | This fixes a problem which is not new, but with the advent of direct foreign table modification in 0bf3ae88af330496517722e391e7c975e6bad219, it's somewhat more likely to be annoying than previously. So, arrange for a local query cancelation to propagate to the remote side. Michael Paquier, reviewed by Etsuro Fujita. Original report by Thom Brown.
* Inline initial comparisons in TestForOldSnapshot()Kevin Grittner2016-04-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | Even with old_snapshot_threshold = -1 (which disables the "snapshot too old" feature), performance regressions were seen at moderate to high concurrency. For example, a one-socket, four-core system running 200 connections at saturation could see up to a 2.3% regression, with larger regressions possible on NUMA machines. By inlining the early (smaller, faster) tests in the TestForOldSnapshot() function, the i7 case dropped to a 0.2% regression, which could easily just be noise, and is clearly an improvement. Further testing will show whether more is needed.
* postgres_fdw: Don't push down certain full joins.Robert Haas2016-04-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If there's a filter condition on either side of a full outer join, it is neither correct to attach it to the join's ON clause nor to throw it into the toplevel WHERE clause. Just don't push down the join in that case. To maximize the number of cases where we can still push down full joins, push inner join conditions into the ON clause at the first opportunity rather than postponing them to the top-level WHERE clause. This produces nicer SQL, anyway. This bug was introduced in e4106b2528727c4b48639c0e12bf2f70a766b910. Ashutosh Bapat, per report from Rajkumar Raghuwanshi.
* Honor PGCTLTIMEOUT environment variable for pg_regress' startup wait.Tom Lane2016-04-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | In commit 2ffa86962077c588 we made pg_ctl recognize an environment variable PGCTLTIMEOUT to set the default timeout for starting and stopping the postmaster. However, pg_regress uses pg_ctl only for the "stop" end of that; it has bespoke code for starting the postmaster, and that code has historically had a hard-wired 60-second timeout. Further buildfarm experience says it'd be a good idea if that timeout were also controlled by PGCTLTIMEOUT, so let's make it so. Like the previous patch, back-patch to all active branches.

* Fix memory leak and other bugs in ginPlaceToPage() & subroutines.Tom Lane2016-04-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 36a35c550ac114ca turned the interface between ginPlaceToPage and its subroutines in gindatapage.c and ginentrypage.c into a royal mess: page-update critical sections were started in one place and finished in another place not even in the same file, and the very same subroutine might return having started a critical section or not. Subsequent patches band-aided over some of the problems with this design by making things even messier. One user-visible resulting problem is memory leaks caused by the need for the subroutines to allocate storage that would survive until ginPlaceToPage calls XLogInsert (as reported by Julien Rouhaud). This would not typically be noticeable during retail index updates. It could be visible in a GIN index build, in the form of memory consumption swelling to several times the commanded maintenance_work_mem. Another rather nasty problem is that in the internal-page-splitting code path, we would clear the child page's GIN_INCOMPLETE_SPLIT flag well before entering the critical section that it's supposed to be cleared in; a failure in between would leave the index in a corrupt state. There were also assorted coding-rule violations with little immediate consequence but possible long-term hazards, such as beginning an XLogInsert sequence before entering a critical section, or calling elog(DEBUG) inside a critical section. To fix, redefine the API between ginPlaceToPage() and its subroutines by splitting the subroutines into two parts. The "beginPlaceToPage" subroutine does what can be done outside a critical section, including full computation of the result pages into temporary storage when we're going to split the target page. The "execPlaceToPage" subroutine is called within a critical section established by ginPlaceToPage(), and it handles the actual page update in the non-split code path. The critical section, as well as the XLOG insertion call sequence, are both now always started and finished in ginPlaceToPage(). Also, make ginPlaceToPage() create and work in a short-lived memory context to eliminate the leakage problem. (Since a short-lived memory context had been getting created in the most common code path in the subroutines, this shouldn't cause any noticeable performance penalty; we're just moving the overhead up one call level.) In passing, fix a bunch of comments that had gone unmaintained throughout all this klugery. Report: <571276DD.5050303@dalibo.com>
* Revert no-op changes to BufferGetPage()Kevin Grittner2016-04-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The reverted changes were intended to force a choice of whether any newly-added BufferGetPage() calls needed to be accompanied by a test of the snapshot age, to support the "snapshot too old" feature. Such an accompanying test is needed in about 7% of the cases, where the page is being used as part of a scan rather than positioning for other purposes (such as DML or vacuuming). The additional effort required for back-patching, and the doubt whether the intended benefit would really be there, have indicated it is best just to rely on developers to do the right thing based on comments and existing usage, as we do with many other conventions. This change should have little or no effect on generated executable code. Motivated by the back-patching pain of Tom Lane and Robert Haas
* Improve regression tests for degree-based trigonometric functions.Tom Lane2016-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Print the actual value of each function result that's expected to be exact, rather than merely emitting a NULL if it's not right. Although we print these with extra_float_digits = 3, we should not trust that the platform will produce a result visibly different from the expected value if it's off only in the last place; hence, also include comparisons against the exact values as before. This is a bit bulkier and uglier than the previous printout, but it will provide more information and be easier to interpret if there's a test failure. Discussion: <18241.1461073100@sss.pgh.pa.us>
* Make partition-lock-release coding more transparent in BufferAlloc().Tom Lane2016-04-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Coverity complained that oldPartitionLock was possibly dereferenced after having been set to NULL. That actually can't happen, because we'd only use it if (oldFlags & BM_TAG_VALID) is true. But nonetheless Coverity is justified in complaining, because at line 1275 we actually overwrite oldFlags, and then still expect its BM_TAG_VALID bit to be a safe guide to whether to release the oldPartitionLock. Thus, the code would be incorrect if someone else had changed the buffer's BM_TAG_VALID flag meanwhile. That should not happen, since we hold pin on the buffer throughout this sequence, but it's starting to look like a rather shaky chain of logic. And there's no need for such assumptions, because we can simply replace the (oldFlags & BM_TAG_VALID) tests with (oldPartitionLock != NULL), which has identical results and makes it plain to all comers that we don't dereference a null pointer. A small side benefit is that the range of liveness of oldFlags is greatly reduced, possibly allowing the compiler to save a register. This is just cleanup, not an actual bug fix, so there seems no need for a back-patch.
* Further reduce the number of semaphores used under --disable-spinlocks.Tom Lane2016-04-18
| | | | | | | | | | Per discussion, there doesn't seem to be much value in having NUM_SPINLOCK_SEMAPHORES set to 1024: under any scenario where you are running more than a few backends concurrently, you really had better have a real spinlock implementation if you want tolerable performance. And 1024 semaphores is a sizable fraction of the system-wide SysV semaphore limit on many platforms. Therefore, reduce this setting's default value to 128 to make it less likely to cause out-of-semaphores problems.

* Avoid code duplication in \crosstabview.Tom Lane2016-04-17
| | | | | | In commit 6f0d6a507 I added a duplicate copy of psqlscanslash's identifier downcasing code, but actually it's not hard to split that out as a callable subroutine and avoid the duplication.
* Adjust spin.c's spinlock emulation so that 0 is not a valid spinlock value.Tom Lane2016-04-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We've had repeated troubles over the years with failures to initialize spinlocks correctly; see 6b93fcd14 for a recent example. Most of the time, on most platforms, such oversights can escape notice because all-zeroes is the expected initial content of an slock_t variable. The only platform we have where the initialized state of an slock_t isn't zeroes is HPPA, and that's practically gone in the wild. To make it easier to catch such errors without needing one of those, adjust the --disable-spinlocks code so that zero is not a valid value for an slock_t for it. In passing, remove a bunch of unnecessary #include's from spin.c; commit daa7527afc227443 removed all the intermodule coupling that made them necessary.

* Disallow creation of indexes on system columns (except for OID).Tom Lane2016-04-16
| | | | | | | | | Although OID acts pretty much like user data, the other system columns do not, so an index on one would likely misbehave. And it's pretty hard to see a use-case for one, anyway. Let's just forbid the case rather than worry about whether it should be supported. David Rowley
* In recordExtensionInitPriv(), keep the scan til we're done with itStephen Frost2016-04-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | For reasons of sheer brain fade, we (I) was calling systable_endscan() immediately after systable_getnext() and expecting the tuple returned by systable_getnext() to still be valid. That's clearly wrong. Move the systable_endscan() down below the tuple usage. Discovered initially by Pavel Stehule and then also by Alvaro. Add a regression test based on Alvaro's testing.

* Use less-generic names in matview.sql.Tom Lane2016-04-15
| | | | | | | | | | | The original coding of this test used table and view names like "t", "tv", "foo", etc. This tended to interfere with doing simple manual tests in the regression database; not to mention that it posed a considerable risk of conflict with other regression test scripts. Prefix these names with "mvtest_" to avoid such conflicts. Also, change transiently-created role name to be "regress_xxx" per discussions about being careful with regression-test role creation.
* Fix possible crash in ALTER TABLE ... REPLICA IDENTITY USING INDEX.Tom Lane2016-04-15
| | | | | | | | | | | Careless coding added by commit 07cacba983ef79be could result in a crash or a bizarre error message if someone tried to select an index on the OID column as the replica identity index for a table.

* postgres_fdw: Clean up handling of system columns.Robert Haas2016-04-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, querying the xmin column of a single postgres_fdw foreign table fetched the tuple length, xmax the typmod, and cmin or cmax the composite type OID of the tuple. However, when you queried several such tables and the join got shipped to the remote side, these columns ended up containing the remote values of the corresponding columns. Both behaviors are rather unprincipled, the former for obvious reasons and the latter because the remote values of these columns don't have any local significance; our transaction IDs are in a different space than those of the remote machine. Clean this up by setting all of these fields to 0 in both cases. Also fix the handling of tableoid to be sane. Robert Haas and Ashutosh Bapat, reviewed by Etsuro Fujita.
* Tweak EXPLAIN for parallel query to show workers launched.Robert Haas2016-04-15

* Make regression test for multiple synchronous standbys more stable.Fujii Masao2016-04-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The regression test checks whether the output of pg_stat_replication is expected or not after changing synchronous_standby_names and reloading the configuration file. Regarding this test logic, previously there was a timing issue which made the test result unstable. That is, pg_stat_replication could return unexpected result during small window after the configuration file was reloaded before new setting value took effect, and which made the test fail. This commit changes the test logic so that it uses a loop with a timeout to give some room for the test to pass. Now the test fails only when pg_stat_replication keeps returning unexpected result for 30 seconds. Michael Paquier
* Fix memory leak in GIN index scans.Tom Lane2016-04-15
| | | | | | | | | | | The code had a query-lifespan memory leak when encountering GIN entries that have posting lists (rather than posting trees, ie, there are a relatively small number of heap tuples containing this index key value). With a suitable data distribution this could add up to a lot of leakage. Problem seems to have been introduced by commit 36a35c550, so back-patch to 9.4. Julien Rouhaud
* Rethink \crosstabview's argument parsing logic.Tom Lane2016-04-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | \crosstabview interpreted its arguments in an unusual way, including doing case-insensitive matching of unquoted column names, which is surely not the right thing. Rip that out in favor of doing something equivalent to the dequoting/case-folding rules used by other psql commands. To keep it simple, change the syntax so that the optional sort column is specified as a separate argument, instead of the also-quite-unusual syntax that attached it to the colH argument with a colon. Also, rework the error messages to be closer to project style.
* Make init_spin_delay() C89 compliant #2.Andres Freund2016-04-14
| | | | | | | | | | | My previous attempt at doing so, in 80abbeba23, was not sufficient. While that fixed the problem for bufmgr.c and lwlock.c , s_lock.c still has non-constant expressions in the struct initializer, because the file/line/function information comes from the caller of s_lock().

* Fix core dump in ReorderBufferRestoreChange on alignment-picky platforms.Tom Lane2016-04-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When re-reading an update involving both an old tuple and a new tuple from disk, reorderbuffer.c was careless about whether the new tuple is suitably aligned for direct access --- in general, it isn't. We'd missed seeing this in the buildfarm because the contrib/test_decoding tests exercise this code path only a few times, and by chance all of those cases have old tuples with length a multiple of 4, which is usually enough to make the access to the new tuple's t_len safe. For some still-not-entirely-clear reason, however, Debian's sparc build gets a bus error, as reported by Christoph Berg; perhaps it's assuming 8-byte alignment of the pointer? The lack of previous field reports is probably because you need all of these conditions to trigger a crash: an alignment-picky platform (not Intel), a transaction large enough to spill to disk, an update within that xact that changes a primary-key field and has an odd-length old tuple, and of course logical decoding tracing the transaction. Avoid the alignment assumption by using memcpy instead of fetching t_len directly, and add a test case that exposes the crash on picky platforms. Back-patch to 9.4 where the bug was introduced.
