* Check column list length in XMLTABLE/JSON_TABLE aliasAlvaro Herrera2022-05-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We weren't checking the length of the column list in the alias clause of an XMLTABLE or JSON_TABLE function (a "tablefunc" RTE), and it was possible to make the server crash by passing an overly long one. Fix it by throwing an error in that case, like the other places that deal with alias lists. In passing, modify the equivalent test used for join RTEs to look like the other ones, which was different for no apparent reason. This bug came in when XMLTABLE was born in version 10; backpatch to all stable versions. Reported-by: Wang Ke <krking@zju.edu.cn> Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/17480-1c9d73565bb28e90@postgresql.org
* Fix control file update done in restartpoints still running after promotionMichael Paquier2022-05-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a cluster is promoted (aka the control file shows a state different than DB_IN_ARCHIVE_RECOVERY) while CreateRestartPoint() is still processing, this function could miss an update of the control file for "checkPoint" and "checkPointCopy" but still do the recycling and/or removal of the past WAL segments, assuming that the to-be-updated LSN values should be used as reference points for the cleanup. This causes a follow-up restart attempting crash recovery to fail with a PANIC on a missing checkpoint record if the end-of-recovery checkpoint triggered by the promotion did not complete while the cluster abruptly stopped or crashed before the completion of this checkpoint. The PANIC would be caused by the redo LSN referred in the control file as located in a segment already gone, recycled by the previous restartpoint with "checkPoint" out-of-sync in the control file. This commit fixes the update of the control file during restartpoints so as "checkPoint" and "checkPointCopy" are updated even if the cluster has been promoted while a restartpoint is running, to be on par with the set of WAL segments actually recycled in the end of CreateRestartPoint(). 7863ee4 has fixed this problem already on master, but the release timing of the latest point versions did not let me enough time to study and fix that on all the stable branches.

* Make pull_var_clause() handle GroupingFuncs exactly like Aggrefs.Tom Lane2022-05-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This follows in the footsteps of commit 2591ee8ec by removing one more ill-advised shortcut from planning of GroupingFuncs. It's true that we don't intend to execute the argument expression(s) at runtime, but we still have to process any Vars appearing within them, or we risk failure at setrefs.c time (or more fundamentally, in EXPLAIN trying to print such an expression). Vars in upper plan nodes have to have referents in the next plan level, whether we ever execute 'em or not. Per bug #17479 from Michael J. Sullivan. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* Fix the logical replication timeout during large transactions.Amit Kapila2022-05-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The problem is that we don't send keep-alive messages for a long time while processing large transactions during logical replication where we don't send any data of such transactions. This can happen when the table modified in the transaction is not published or because all the changes got filtered. We do try to send the keep_alive if necessary at the end of the transaction (via WalSndWriteData()) but by that time the subscriber-side can timeout and exit. To fix this we try to send the keepalive message if required after processing certain threshold of changes.

* Improve setup of environment values for commands in MSVC's vcregress.plMichael Paquier2022-05-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current setup assumes that commands for lz4, zstd and gzip always exist by default if not enforced by a user's environment. However, vcpkg, as one example, installs libraries but no binaries, so this default setup to assume that a command should always be present would cause failures. This commit improves the detection of such external commands as follows: * If a ENV value is available, trust the environment/user and use it. * If a ENV value is not available, check its execution by looking in the current PATH, by launching a simple "$command --version" (that should be portable enough). ** On execution failure, ignore ENV{command}. ** On execution success, set ENV{command} = "$command". Note that this new rule applies to gzip, lz4 and zstd but not tar that we assume will always exist. Those commands are set up in the environment only when using bincheck and taptest. The CI includes all those commands and I have checked that their setup is correct there. I have also tested this change in a MSVC environment where we have none of those commands. While on it, remove the references to lz4 from the documentation and vcregress.pl in ~v13. --with-lz4 has been added in v14~ so there is no point to have this information in these older branches.

* configure: don't probe for libldap_r if libldap is 2.5 or newer.Tom Lane2022-05-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In OpenLDAP 2.5 and later, libldap itself is always thread-safe and there's never a libldap_r. Our existing coding dealt with that by assuming it wouldn't find libldap_r if libldap is thread-safe. But that rule fails to cope if there are multiple OpenLDAP versions visible, as is likely to be the case on macOS in particular. We'd end up using shiny new libldap in the backend and a hoary libldap_r in libpq. Instead, once we've found libldap, check if it's >= 2.5 (by probing for a function introduced then) and don't bother looking for libldap_r if so. While one can imagine library setups that this'd still give the wrong answer for, they seem unlikely to occur in practice. Per report from Peter Eisentraut. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* Revert "Disallow infinite endpoints in generate_series() for timestamps."Tom Lane2022-05-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit eafdf9de06e9b60168f5e47cedcfceecdc6d4b5f and its back-branch counterparts. Corey Huinker pointed out that we'd discussed this exact change back in 2016 and rejected it, on the grounds that there's at least one usage pattern with LIMIT where an infinite endpoint can usefully be used. Perhaps that argument needs to be re-litigated, but there's no time left before our back-branch releases. To keep our options open, restore the status quo ante; if we do end up deciding to change things, waiting one more quarter won't hurt anything. Rather than just doing a straight revert, I added a new test case demonstrating the usage with LIMIT. That'll at least remind us of the issue if we forget again.

* Fix possibility of self-deadlock in ResolveRecoveryConflictWithBufferPin().Andres Freund2022-05-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The tests added in 9f8a050f68d failed nearly reliably on FreeBSD in CI, and occasionally on the buildfarm. That turns out to be caused not by a bug in the test, but by a longstanding bug in recovery conflict handling. The standby timeout handler, used by ResolveRecoveryConflictWithBufferPin(), executed SendRecoveryConflictWithBufferPin() inside a signal handler. A bad idea, because the deadlock timeout handler (or a spurious latch set) could have interrupted ProcWaitForSignal(). If unlucky that could cause a self-deadlock on ProcArrayLock, if the deadlock check is in SendRecoveryConflictWithBufferPin()->CancelDBBackends(). To fix, set a flag in StandbyTimeoutHandler(), and check the flag in ResolveRecoveryConflictWithBufferPin(). Subsequently the recovery conflict tests will be backpatched.

* Remove inadequate assertion check in CTE inlining.Tom Lane2022-04-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | inline_cte() expected to find exactly as many references to the target CTE as its cterefcount indicates. While that should be accurate for the tree as emitted by the parser, there are some optimizations that occur upstream of here that could falsify it, notably removal of unused subquery output expressions. Trying to make the accounting 100% accurate seems expensive and doomed to future breakage. It's not really worth it, because all this code is protecting is downstream assumptions that every referenced CTE has a plan. Let's convert those assertions to regular test-and-elog just in case there's some actual problem, and then drop the failing assertion. Per report from Tomas Vondra (thanks also to Richard Guo for analysis). Back-patch to v12 where the faulty code came in.

* Support new perl module namespace in stable branchesAndrew Dunstan2022-04-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit b3b4d8e68a moved our perl test modules to a better namespace structure, but this has made life hard for people wishing to backpatch improvements in the TAP tests. Here we alleviate much of that difficulty by implementing the new module names on top of the old modules, mostly by using a little perl typeglob aliasing magic, so that we don't have a dual maintenance burden. This should work both for the case where a new test is backpatched and the case where a fix to an existing test that uses the new namespace is backpatched.

* Fix CLUSTER tuplesorts on abbreviated expressions.Peter Geoghegan2022-04-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | CLUSTER sort won't use the datum1 SortTuple field when clustering against an index whose leading key is an expression. This makes it unsafe to use the abbreviated keys optimization, which was missed by the logic that sets up SortSupport state. Affected tuplesorts output tuples in a completely bogus order as a result (the wrong SortSupport based comparator was used for the leading attribute).

* Fix race in TAP test 002_archiving.pl when restoring history fileMichael Paquier2022-04-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This test, introduced in df86e52, uses a second standby to check that it is able to remove correctly RECOVERYHISTORY and RECOVERYXLOG at the end of recovery. This standby uses the archives of the primary to restore its contents, with some of the archive's contents coming from the first standby previously promoted. In slow environments, it was possible that the test did not check what it should, as the history file generated by the promotion of the first standby may not be stored yet on the archives the second standby feeds on. So, it could be possible that the second standby selects an incorrect timeline, without restoring a history file at all. This commits adds a wait phase to make sure that the history file required by the second standby is archived before this cluster is created. This relies on poll_query_until() with pg_stat_file() and an absolute path, something not supported in REL_10_STABLE. While on it, this adds a new test to check that the history file has been restored by looking at the logs of the second standby. This ensures that a RECOVERYHISTORY, whose removal needs to be checked, is created in the first place. This should make the test more robust. This test has been introduced by df86e52, but it came in light as an effect of the bug fixed by acf1dd42, where the extra restore_command calls made the test much slower.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The back-patch of commit bbace5697df12398e87ffd9879171c39d27f5b33 had the unfortunate effect of changing the layout of PGPROC in the back-branches, which could break extensions. This happened because it changed the delayChkpt from type bool to type int. So, change it back, and add a new bool delayChkptEnd field instead.

* pageinspect: Fix handling of all-zero pagesMichael Paquier2022-04-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Getting from get_raw_page() an all-zero page is considered as a valid case by the buffer manager and it can happen for example when finding a corrupted page with zero_damaged_pages enabled (using zero_damaged_pages to look at corrupted pages happens), or after a crash when a relation file is extended before any WAL for its new data is generated (before a vacuum or autovacuum job comes in to do some cleanup). However, all the functions of pageinspect, as of the index AMs (except hash that has its own idea of new pages), heap, the FSM or the page header have never worked with all-zero pages, causing various crashes when going through the page internals. This commit changes all the pageinspect functions to be compliant with all-zero pages, where the choice is made to return NULL or no rows for SRFs when finding a new page. get_raw_page() still works the same way, returning a batch of zeros in the bytea of the page retrieved. A hard error could be used but NULL, while more invasive, is useful when scanning relation files in full to get a batch of results for a single relation in one query. Tests are added for all the code paths impacted.

* Prevent access to no-longer-pinned buffer in heapam_tuple_lock().Tom Lane2022-04-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | heap_fetch() used to have a "keep_buf" parameter that told it to return ownership of the buffer pin to the caller after finding that the requested tuple TID exists but is invisible to the specified snapshot. This was thoughtlessly removed in commit 5db6df0c0, which broke heapam_tuple_lock() (formerly EvalPlanQualFetch) because that function needs to do more accesses to the tuple even if it's invisible. The net effect is that we would continue to touch the page for a microsecond or two after releasing pin on the buffer. Usually no harm would result; but if a different session decided to defragment the page concurrently, we could see garbage data and mistakenly conclude that there's no newer tuple version to chain up to. (It's hard to say whether this has happened in the field. The bug was actually found thanks to a later change that allowed valgrind to detect accesses to non-pinned buffers.) The most reasonable way to fix this is to reintroduce keep_buf, although I made it behave slightly differently: buffer ownership is passed back only if there is a valid tuple at the requested TID. In HEAD, we can just add the parameter back to heap_fetch(). To avoid an API break in the back branches, introduce an additional function heap_fetch_extended() in those branches. In HEAD there is an additional, less obvious API change: tuple->t_data will be set to NULL in all cases where buffer ownership is not returned, in particular when the tuple exists but fails the time qual (and !keep_buf). This is to defend against any other callers attempting to access non-pinned buffers. We concluded that making that change in back branches would be more likely to introduce problems than cure any. In passing, remove a comment about heap_fetch that was obsoleted by 9a8ee1dc6. Per bug #17462 from Daniil Anisimov. Back-patch to v12 where the bug was introduced.

* Doc: tweak textsearch.sgml for SEO purposes.Tom Lane2022-04-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Google seems to like to return textsearch.html for queries about GIN and GiST indexes, even though it's not a primary reference for either. It seems likely that that's because those keywords appear in the page title. Since "GIN and GiST Index Types" is not a very apposite title for this material anyway, rename the section in hopes of stopping that. Also provide explicit links to the GIN and GiST chapters, to help anyone who finds their way to this page regardless. Per gripe from Jan Piotrowski. Back-patch to supported branches. (Unfortunately Google is likely to continue returning the 9.1 version of this page, but improving that situation is a matter for the www team.)

* Fix postgres_fdw to check shippability of sort clauses properly.Tom Lane2022-03-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | postgres_fdw would push ORDER BY clauses to the remote side without verifying that the sort operator is safe to ship. Moreover, it failed to print a suitable USING clause if the sort operator isn't default for the sort expression's type. The net result of this is that the remote sort might not have anywhere near the semantics we expect, which'd be disastrous for locally-performed merge joins in particular. We addressed similar issues in the context of ORDER BY within an aggregate function call in commit 7012b132d, but failed to notice that query-level ORDER BY was broken. Thus, much of the necessary logic already existed, but it requires refactoring to be usable in both cases. Back-patch to all supported branches. In HEAD only, remove the core code's copy of find_em_expr_for_rel, which is no longer used and really should never have been pushed into equivclass.c in the first place.

* Document autoanalyze limitations for partitioned tablesTomas Vondra2022-03-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When dealing with partitioned tables, counters for partitioned tables are not updated when modifying child tables. This means autoanalyze may not update optimizer statistics for the parent relations, which can result in poor plans for some queries. It's worth documenting this limitation, so that people are aware of it and can take steps to mitigate it (e.g. by setting up a script executing ANALYZE regularly). Backpatch to v10. Older branches are affected too, of couse, but we no longer maintain those.

* pageinspect: Add more sanity checks to prevent out-of-bound readsMichael Paquier2022-03-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A couple of code paths use the special area on the page passed by the function caller, expecting to find some data in it. However, feeding an incorrect page can lead to out-of-bound reads when trying to access the page special area (like a heap page that has no special area, leading PageGetSpecialPointer() to grab a pointer outside the allocated page). The functions used for hash and btree indexes have some protection already against that, while some other functions using a relation OID as argument would make sure that the access method involved is correct, but functions taking in input a raw page without knowing the relation the page is attached to would run into problems. This commit improves the set of checks used in the code paths of BRIN, btree (including one check if a leaf page is found with a non-zero level), GIN and GiST to verify that the page given in input has a special area size that fits with each access method, which is done though PageGetSpecialSize(), becore calling PageGetSpecialPointer(). The scope of the checks done is limited to work with pages that one would pass after getting a block with get_raw_page(), as it is possible to craft byteas that could bypass existing code paths. Having too many checks would also impact the usability of pageinspect, as the existing code is very useful to look at the content details in a corrupted page, so the focus is really to avoid out-of-bound reads as this is never a good thing even with functions whose execution is limited to superusers. The safest approach could be to rework the functions so as these fetch a block using a relation OID and a block number, but there are also cases where using a raw page is useful. Tests are added to cover all the code paths that needed such checks, and an error message for hash indexes is reworded to fit better with what this commit adds.

* Suppress compiler warning in relptr_store().Tom Lane2022-03-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | clang 13 with -Wextra warns that "performing pointer subtraction with a null pointer has undefined behavior" in the places where freepage.c tries to set a relptr variable to constant NULL. This appears to be a compiler bug, but it's unlikely to get fixed instantly. Fortunately, we can work around it by introducing an inline support function, which seems like a good change anyway because it removes the macro's existing double-evaluation hazard. Backpatch to v10 where this code was introduced. Patch by me, based on an idea of Andres Freund's. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/48826.1648310694@sss.pgh.pa.us
