* Rethink recent fix for pg_dump's handling of extension config tables.Tom Lane2020-10-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 3eb3d3e78 was a few bricks shy of a load: while it correctly set the table's "interesting" flag when deciding to dump the data of an extension config table, it was not correct to clear that flag if we concluded we shouldn't dump the data. This led to the crash reported in bug #16655, because in fact we'll traverse dumpTableSchema anyway for all extension tables (to see if they have user-added seclabels or RLS policies). The right thing to do is to force "interesting" true in makeTableDataInfo, and otherwise leave the flag alone. (Doing it there is more future-proof in case additional calls are added, and it also avoids setting the flag unnecessarily if that function decides the table is non-dumpable.) This investigation also showed that while only the --inserts code path had an obvious failure in the case considered by 3eb3d3e78, the COPY code path also has a problem with not having loaded table subsidiary data. That causes fmtCopyColumnList to silently return an empty string instead of the correct column list. That accidentally mostly works, which perhaps is why we didn't notice this before. It would only fail if the restore column order is different from the dump column order, which only happens in weird inheritance cases, so it's not surprising nobody had hit the case with an extension config table. Nonetheless, it's a bug, and it goes a long way back, not just to v12 where the --inserts code path started to have a problem with this. In hopes of catching such cases a bit sooner in future, add some Asserts that "interesting" has been set in both dumpTableData and dumpTableSchema. Adjust the test case added by 3eb3d3e78 so that it checks the COPY rather than INSERT form of that bug, allowing it to detect the longer-standing symptom. Per bug #16655 from Cameron Daniel.

* Build EC members for child join rels in the right memory context.Tom Lane2020-10-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch prevents crashes or wrong plans when partition-wise joins are considered during GEQO planning, as a consequence of the EquivalenceClass data structures becoming corrupt after a GEQO context reset. A remaining problem is that successive GEQO cycles will make multiple copies of the required EC members, since add_child_join_rel_equivalences has no idea that such members might exist already. For now we'll just live with that. The lack of field complaints of crashes suggests that this is a mighty little-used situation. Back-patch to v12 where this code was introduced.

* Fix two latent(?) bugs in equivclass.c.Tom Lane2020-10-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | get_eclass_for_sort_expr() computes expr_relids and nullable_relids early on, even though they won't be needed unless we make a new EquivalenceClass, which we often don't. Aside from the probably-minor inefficiency, there's a memory management problem: these bitmapsets will be built in the caller's context, leading to dangling pointers if that is shorter-lived than root->planner_cxt. This would be a live bug if get_eclass_for_sort_expr() could be called with create_it = true during GEQO join planning. So far as I can find, the core code never does that, but it's hard to be sure that no extensions do, especially since the comments make it clear that that's supposed to be a supported case. Fix by not computing these values until we've switched into planner_cxt to build the new EquivalenceClass. generate_join_implied_equalities() uses inner_rel->relids to look up relevant eclasses, but it ought to be using nominal_inner_relids. This is presently harmless because a child RelOptInfo will always have exactly the same eclass_indexes as its topmost parent; but that might not be true forever, and anyway it makes the code confusing. The first of these is old (introduced by me in f3b3b8d5b), so back-patch to all supported branches. The second only dates to v13, but we might as well back-patch it to keep the code looking similar across branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/1508010.1601832581@sss.pgh.pa.us

* Improve stability of identity.sql regression test.Tom Lane2020-10-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | I noticed while trying to run the regression tests under a low geqo_threshold that one query on information_schema.columns had unstable (as in, variable from one run to the next) output order. This is pretty unsurprising given the complexity of the underlying plan. Interestingly, of this test's three nigh-identical queries on information_schema.columns, the other two already had ORDER BY clauses guaranteeing stable output. Let's make this one look the same. Back-patch to v10 where this test was added. We've not heard field reports of the test failing, but this experience shows that it can happen when testing under even slightly unusual conditions.

* Put back explicit setting of replication values within TAP tests.Tom Lane2020-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 151c0c5f7 neglected the possibility that a TEMP_CONFIG file would explicitly set max_wal_senders=0; as indeed buildfarm member thorntail does, so that it can test wal_level=minimal in other test suites. Hence, rather than assuming that max_wal_senders=10 will prevail if we say nothing, set it explicitly. Set max_replication_slots=10 explicitly too, just to be safe. Back-patch to v10, like the previous patch. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/723911.1601417626@sss.pgh.pa.us

* Fix handling of BC years in to_date/to_timestamp.Tom Lane2020-09-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, a conversion such as to_date('-44-02-01','YYYY-MM-DD') would result in '0045-02-01 BC', as the code attempted to interpret the negative year as BC, but failed to apply the correction needed for our internal handling of BC years. Fix the off-by-one problem. Also, arrange for the combination of a negative year and an explicit "BC" marker to cancel out and produce AD. This is how the negative-century case works, so it seems sane to do likewise. Continue to read "year 0000" as 1 BC. Oracle would throw an error, but we've accepted that case for a long time so I'm hesitant to change it in a back-patch. Per bug #16419 from Saeed Hubaishan. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* Remove obsolete replication settings within TAP tests.Tom Lane2020-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | PostgresNode.pm set "max_wal_senders = 5" for replication testing, but this seems to be slightly too low for our current test suite. Slower buildfarm members frequently report "number of requested standby connections exceeds max_wal_senders" failures, due to old walsenders not exiting instantaneously. Usually, the test does not fail overall because of automatic walreceiver restart, but sometimes the failure becomes visible; and in any case such retries slow down the test. That value came in with commit 89ac7004d, but was soon obsoleted by f6d6d2920, which raised the built-in default from zero to 10; so that PostgresNode.pm is actually setting it to less than the conservative built-in default. That seems pretty pointless, so let's remove the special setting and let the default prevail, in hopes of making the TAP tests more robust. Likewise, the setting "max_replication_slots = 5" is obsolete and can be removed. While here, reverse-engineer a comment about why we're choosing less-than-default values for some other settings. (Note: before v12, max_wal_senders counted against max_connections so that the latter setting also needs some fiddling with.) Back-patch to v10 where the subscription tests were added. It's likely that the older branches aren't pushing the boundaries of max_wal_senders, but I'm disinclined to spend time trying to figure out exactly when it started to be a problem.

* Fix memory leak in plpgsql's CALL processing.Tom Lane2020-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When executing a CALL or DO in a non-atomic context (i.e., not inside a function or query), plpgsql creates a new plan each time through, as a rather hacky solution to some resource management issues. But it failed to free this plan until exit of the current procedure or DO block, resulting in serious memory bloat in procedures that called other procedures many times. Fix by remembering to free the plan, and by being more honest about restoring the previous state (otherwise, recursive procedure calls have a problem). There was also a smaller leak associated with recalculation of the "target" list of output variables. Fix that by using the statement- lifespan context to hold non-permanent values. Back-patch to v11 where procedures were introduced. Pavel Stehule and Tom Lane Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAFj8pRDiiU1dqym+_P4_GuTWm76knJu7z9opWayBJTC0nQGUUA@mail.gmail.com
* Support for ISO 8601 in the jsonpath .datetime() methodAlexander Korotkov2020-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The SQL standard doesn't require jsonpath .datetime() method to support the ISO 8601 format. But our to_json[b]() functions convert timestamps to text in the ISO 8601 format in the sake of compatibility with javascript. So, we add support of the ISO 8601 to the jsonpath .datetime() in the sake compatibility with to_json[b](). The standard mode of datetime parsing currently supports just template patterns and separators in the format string. In order to implement ISO 8601, we have to add support of the format string double quotes to the standard parsing mode.

* Archive timeline history files in standby if archive_mode is set to "always".Fujii Masao2020-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously the standby server didn't archive timeline history files streamed from the primary even when archive_mode is set to "always", while it archives the streamed WAL files. This could cause the PITR to fail because there was no required timeline history file in the archive. The cause of this issue was that walreceiver didn't mark those files as ready for archiving. This commit makes walreceiver mark those streamed timeline history files as ready for archiving if archive_mode=always. Then the archiver process archives the marked timeline history files.

* Fix progress reporting of REINDEX CONCURRENTLYMichael Paquier2020-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This addresses a couple of issues with the so-said subject: - Report the correct parent relation with the index actually being rebuilt or validated. Previously, the command status remained set to the last index created for the progress of the index build and validation, which would be incorrect when working on a table that has more than one index. - Use the correct phase when waiting before the drop of the old indexes.

* Add for_each_from, to simplify loops starting from non-first list cells.Tom Lane2020-09-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have a dozen or so places that need to iterate over all but the first cell of a List. Prior to v13 this was typically written as for_each_cell(lc, lnext(list_head(list))) Commit 1cff1b95a changed these to for_each_cell(lc, list, list_second_cell(list)) This patch introduces a new macro for_each_from() which expresses the start point as a list index, allowing these to be written as for_each_from(lc, list, 1) This is marginally more efficient, since ForEachState.i can be initialized directly instead of backing into it from a ListCell address. It also seems clearer and less typo-prone. Some of the remaining uses of for_each_cell() look like they could profitably be changed to for_each_from(), but here I confined myself to changing uses of list_second_cell(). Also, fix for_each_cell_setup() and for_both_cell_setup() to const-ify their arguments; that's a simple oversight in 1cff1b95a. Back-patch into v13, on the grounds that (1) the const-ification is a minor bug fix, and (2) it's better for back-patching purposes if we only have two ways to write these loops rather than three. In HEAD, also remove list_third_cell() and list_fourth_cell(), which were also introduced in 1cff1b95a, and are unused as of cc99baa43. It seems unlikely that any third-party code would have started to use them already; anyone who has can be directed to list_nth_cell instead.

* Revise RelationBuildRowSecurity() to avoid memory leaks.Tom Lane2020-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This function leaked some memory while loading qual clauses for an RLS policy. While ordinarily negligible, that could build up in some repeated-reload cases, as reported by Konstantin Knizhnik. We can improve matters by borrowing the coding long used in RelationBuildRuleLock: build stringToNode's result directly in the target context, and remember to explicitly pfree the input string. This patch by no means completely guarantees zero leaks within this function, since we have no real guarantee that the catalog- reading subroutines it calls don't leak anything. However, practical tests suggest that this is enough to resolve the issue. In any case, any remaining leaks are similar to those risked by RelationBuildRuleLock and other relcache-loading subroutines. If we need to fix them, we should adopt a more global approach such as that used by the RECOVER_RELATION_BUILD_MEMORY hack. While here, let's remove the need for an expensive PG_TRY block by using MemoryContextSetParent to reparent an initially-short-lived context for the RLS data. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* Fix handling of -d "connection string" in pg_dump/pg_restore.Tom Lane2020-09-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Parallel pg_dump failed if its -d parameter was a connection string containing any essential information other than host, port, or username. The same was true for pg_restore with --create. The reason is that these scenarios failed to preserve the connection string from the command line; the code felt free to replace that with just the database name when reconnecting from a pg_dump parallel worker or after creating the target database. By chance, parallel pg_restore did not suffer this defect, as long as you didn't say --create. In practice it seems that the error would be obvious only if the connstring included essential, non-default SSL or GSS parameters. This may explain why it took us so long to notice. (It also makes it very difficult to craft a regression test case illustrating the problem, since the test would fail in builds without those options.) Fix by refactoring so that ConnectDatabase always receives all the relevant options directly from the command line, rather than reconstructed values. Inject a different database name, when necessary, by relying on libpq's rules for handling multiple "dbname" parameters. While here, let's get rid of the essentially duplicate _connectDB function, as well as some obsolete nearby cruft. Per bug #16604 from Zsolt Ero. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* Avoid possible dangling-pointer access in tsearch_readline_callback.Tom Lane2020-09-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | tsearch_readline() saves the string pointer it returns to the caller for possible use in the associated error context callback. However, the caller will usually pfree that string sometime before it next calls tsearch_readline(), so that there is a window where an ereport will try to print an already-freed string. The built-in users of tsearch_readline() happen to all do that pfree at the bottoms of their loops, so that the window is effectively empty for them. However, this is not documented as a requirement, and contrib/dict_xsyn doesn't do it like that, so it seems likely that third-party dictionaries might have live bugs here. The practical consequences of this seem pretty limited in any case, since production builds wouldn't clobber the freed string immediately, besides which you'd not expect syntax errors in dictionary files being used in production. Still, it's clearly a bug waiting to bite somebody. Fix by pstrdup'ing the string to be saved for the error callback, and then pfree'ing it next time through. It's been like this for a long time, so back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/48A4FA71-524E-41B9-953A-FD04EF36E2E7@yesql.se

* Fix bogus completion tag usage in walsenderAlvaro Herrera2020-09-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since commit fd5942c18f97 (2012, 9.3-era), walsender has been sending completion tags for certain replication commands twice -- and they're not even consistent. Apparently neither libpq nor JDBC have a problem with it, but it's not kosher. Fix by remove the EndCommand() call in the common code path for them all, and inserting specific calls to EndReplicationCommand() specifically in those places where it's needed. EndReplicationCommand() is a new simple function to send the completion tag for replication commands. Do this instead of sending a generic SELECT completion tag for them all, which was also pretty bogus (if innocuous). While at it, change StartReplication() to use EndReplicationCommand() instead of pg_puttextmessage(). In commit 2f9661311b83, I failed to realize that replication commands are not close-enough kin of regular SQL commands, so the DROP_REPLICATION_SLOT tag I added is undeserved and a type pun. Take it out. Backpatch to 13, where the latter commit appeared. The duplicate tag has been sent since 9.3, but since nothing is broken, it doesn't seem worth fixing. Per complaints from Tom Lane.

This led to false positive reports of corruption from bt_index_parent_check() when it was called to verify a pg_upgrade'd index. To fix, skip comparing the offset number on pg_upgrade'd B-Tree indexes.

* Avoid unnecessary recursion to child tables in ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL.Tom Lane2020-09-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a partitioned table's column is already marked NOT NULL, there is no need to examine its partitions, because we can rely on previous DDL to have enforced that the child columns are NOT NULL as well. (Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for traditional inheritance, so for now we have to restrict the optimization to partitioned tables.) Hence, we may skip recursing to child tables in this situation. The reason this case is worth worrying about is that when pg_dump dumps a partitioned table having a primary key, it will include the requisite NOT NULL markings in the CREATE TABLE commands, and then add the primary key as a separate step. The primary key addition generates a SET NOT NULL as a subcommand, just to be sure. So the situation where a SET NOT NULL is redundant does arise in the real world. Skipping the recursion does more than just save a few cycles: it means that a command such as "ALTER TABLE ONLY partition_parent ADD PRIMARY KEY" will take locks only on the partition parent table, not on the partitions. It turns out that parallel pg_restore is effectively assuming that that's true, and has little choice but to do so because the dependencies listed for such a TOC entry don't include the partitions. pg_restore could thus issue this ALTER while data restores on the partitions are still in progress. Taking unnecessary locks on the partitions not only hurts concurrency, but can lead to actual deadlock failures, as reported by Domagoj Smoljanovic. (A contributing factor in the deadlock is that TRUNCATE on a child partition wants a non-exclusive lock on the parent. This seems likewise unnecessary, but the fix for it is more invasive so we won't consider back-patching it. Fortunately, getting rid of one of these two poor behaviors is enough to remove the deadlock.) Although support for partitioned primary keys came in with v11, this patch is dependent on the SET NOT NULL refactoring done by commit f4a3fdfbd, so we can only patch back to v12. Patch by me; thanks to Alvaro Herrera and Amit Langote for review. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/VI1PR03MB31670CA1BD9625C3A8C5DD05EB230@VI1PR03MB3167.eurprd03.prod.outlook.com
* Fix bogus cache-invalidation logic in logical replication worker.Tom Lane2020-09-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The code recorded cache invalidation events by zeroing the "localreloid" field of affected cache entries. However, it's possible for an inval event to occur even while we have the entry open and locked. So an ill-timed inval could result in "cache lookup failed for relation 0" errors, if the worker's code tried to use the cleared field. We can fix that by creating a separate bool field to record whether the entry needs to be revalidated. (In the back branches, cram the bool into what had been padding space, to avoid an ABI break in the somewhat unlikely event that any extension is looking at this struct.) Also, rearrange the logic in logicalrep_rel_open so that it does the right thing in cases where table_open would fail. We should retry the lookup by name in that case, but we didn't. The real-world impact of this is probably small. In the first place, the error conditions are very low probability, and in the second place, the worker would just exit and get restarted. We only noticed because in a CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS build, the failure can occur repeatedly, preventing the worker from making progress. Nonetheless, it's clearly a bug, and it impedes a useful type of testing; so back-patch to v10 where this code was introduced. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/1032727.1600096803@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Change LogicalTapeSetBlocks() to use nBlocksWritten.Jeff Davis2020-09-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, it was based on nBlocksAllocated to account for tapes with open write buffers that may not have made it to the BufFile yet. That was unnecessary, because callers do not need to get the number of blocks while a tape has an open write buffer; and it also conflicted with the preallocation logic added for HashAgg.

* Fix use-after-free bug with event triggers in an extension scriptAlvaro Herrera2020-09-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ALTER TABLE commands in an extension script are added to an event trigger command list; but starting with commit b5810de3f4 they do so in a memory context that's too short-lived, so when execution ends and time comes to use the entries, they've already been freed. (This would also be a problem with ALTER TABLE commands in a multi-command query string, but these serendipitously end in PortalContext -- which probably explains why it took so long for this to be reported.) Fix by using the memory context specifically set for that, instead. Backpatch to 13, where the aforementioned commit appeared.
