Enabled by recovery_connections = on (default) and forcing archive recovery using a recovery.conf. Recovery processing now emulates the original transactions as they are replayed, providing full locking and MVCC behaviour for read only queries. Recovery must enter consistent state before connections are allowed, so there is a delay, typically short, before connections succeed. Replay of recovering transactions can conflict and in some cases deadlock with queries during recovery; these result in query cancellation after max_standby_delay seconds have expired. Infrastructure changes have minor effects on normal running, though introduce four new types of WAL record.
New test mode "make standbycheck" allows regression tests of static command behaviour on a standby server while in recovery. Typical and extreme dynamic behaviours have been checked via code inspection and manual testing. Few port specific behaviours have been utilised, though primary testing has been on Linux only so far.
This commit is the basic patch. Additional changes will follow in this release to enhance some aspects of behaviour, notably improved handling of conflicts, deadlock detection and query cancellation. Changes to VACUUM FULL are also required.

short-circuit the rather expensive identify_system_timezone() procedure,
which we have no real need for during initdb since nothing done here depends
on the timezone setting. Since we launch quite a few standalone backends
during the initdb sequence, this adds up to a significant savings, and seems
worth doing to save developer time even though it will hardly matter to end
users. Per my report today on pgsql-hackers.

Rewrite the documentation in more idiomatic English, and in the process make
it somewhat more succinct. Move the discussion of specific large object
privileges out of the "server-side functions" section, where it certainly
doesn't belong, and into "implementation features". That might not be
exactly right either, but it doesn't seem worth creating a new section for
this amount of information. Fix a few spelling and layout problems, too.

This was possibly linked to a deadlock-like situation in glibc syslog code
invoked by the ereport call in quickdie(). In any case, a signal handler
should not unblock its own signal unless there is a specific reason to.
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
This removes some duplicate code that recreated the identical workaround
when the newer signal API is missing.

presented with an UNKNOWN-type Var, which can happen in cases where an
unknown literal appeared in a subquery. While many such cases will fail
later on anyway in the planner, there are some cases where the planner is
able to flatten the query and replace the Var by the constant before it has
to coerce the union column to the final type. I had added this check in 8.4
to provide earlier/better error detection, but it causes a regression for
some cases that worked OK before. Fix by not making the check if the input
node is UNKNOWN type and not a Const or Param. If it isn't going to work,
it will fail anyway at plan time, with the only real loss being inability to
provide an error cursor. Per gripe from Britt Piehler.
In passing, rename a couple of variables to remove confusion from an
inner scope masking the same variable names in an outer scope.

ExplainSeparatePlans() was busted for both JSON and YAML output - the present
code is a holdover from the original version of my machine-readable explain
patch, which didn't have the grouping_stack machinery. Also, fix an odd
distribution of labor between ExplainBeginGroup() and ExplainYAMLLineStarting()
when marking lists with "- ", with each providing one character. This broke
the output format for multi-query statements. Also, fix ExplainDummyGroup()
for the YAML output format.
Along the way, make the YAML format use escape_yaml() in situations where the
JSON format uses escape_json(). Right now, it doesn't matter because all the
values are known not to need escaping, but it seems safer this way. Finally,
I added some comments to better explain what the YAML output format is doing.
Greg Sabino Mullane reported the issues with multi-query statements.
Analysis and remaining cleanups by me.

non-kluge method for controlling the order in which values are fed to an
aggregate function. At the same time eliminate the old implementation
restriction that DISTINCT was only supported for single-argument aggregates.
Possibly release-notable behavioral change: formerly, agg(DISTINCT x)
dropped null values of x unconditionally. Now, it does so only if the
agg transition function is strict; otherwise nulls are treated as DISTINCT
normally would, ie, you get one copy.

we have to cope with the possibility that the declared result rowtype contains
dropped columns. This fails in 8.4, as per bug #5240.
While at it, be more paranoid about inserting binary coercions when inlining.
The pre-8.4 code did not really need to worry about that because it could not
inline at all in any case where an added coercion could change the behavior
of the function's statement. However, when inlining a SRF we allow sorting,
grouping, and set-ops such as UNION. In these cases, modifying one of the
targetlist entries that the sort/group/setop depends on could conceivably
change the behavior of the function's statement --- so don't inline when
such a case applies.

does a search for the user in the directory first, and then binds with
the DN found for this user.
This allows for LDAP logins in scenarios where the DN of the user cannot
be determined simply by prefix and suffix, such as the case where different
users are located in different containers.
The old way of authentication can be significantly faster, so it's kept
as an option.

something other than a multiple of 8 bits.
This has been wrong since I first wrote that code for 8.0 :-(. Kudos to

patch. Per bug #5237.

Without these functions, anyone outside of explain.c can't actually use
ExplainPrintPlan, because the ExplainState won't be initialized properly.
The user-visible result of this was a crash when using auto_explain with
the JSON output format.

processes of a pgbench run, when we are using -j > 1 and are emulating
threads via fork(). Otherwise the children all inherit the same random
sequence state and produce the same random-number sequence.
In the threaded case the different threads will share one RNG state, so
they will produce different subsets of one sequence, which is maybe more
correlated than a purist would like but will not be "the same". So we
leave that case alone.
First noticed by Takahiro Itagaki, and is also part of the explanation
for the pgbench misbehavior recently reported by Jaime Casanova.

before we zap the input tuple. Otherwise, pass-by-reference columns of
the result slot are likely to contain just references to the input
tuple, leading to big trouble if the pfree'd space is reused. Per
trouble report from Jaime Casanova. This is a new bug in the recent
rewrite of EvalPlanQual, so nothing to back-patch.

pg_ctl gets a new mode that runs initdb. Adjust the documentation a bit to
not assume that initdb is the only way to run database cluster initialization.
But don't replace initdb as the canonical way.

an allegedly immutable index function. It was previously recognized that
we had to prevent such a function from executing SET/RESET ROLE/SESSION
AUTHORIZATION, or it could trivially obtain the privileges of the session
user. However, since there is in general no privilege checking for changes
of session-local state, it is also possible for such a function to change
settings in a way that might subvert later operations in the same session.
Examples include changing search_path to cause an unexpected function to
be called, or replacing an existing prepared statement with another one
that will execute a function of the attacker's choosing.
The present patch secures VACUUM, ANALYZE, and CREATE INDEX/REINDEX against
these threats, which are the same places previously deemed to need protection
against the SET ROLE issue. GUC changes are still allowed, since there are
many useful cases for that, but we prevent security problems by forcing a
rollback of any GUC change after completing the operation. Other cases are
handled by throwing an error if any change is attempted; these include temp
table creation, closing a cursor, and creating or deleting a prepared
statement. (In 7.4, the infrastructure to roll back GUC changes doesn't
exist, so we settle for rejecting changes of "search_path" in these contexts.)

attacks where an attacker would put <attack>\0<propername> in the field and
trick the validation code that the certificate was for <attack>.
This is a very low risk attack since it reuqires the attacker to trick the
CA into issuing a certificate with an incorrect field, and the common
PostgreSQL deployments are with private CAs, and not external ones. Also,
default mode in 8.4 does not do any name validation, and is thus also not
vulnerable - but the higher security modes are.
Backpatch all the way. Even though versions 8.3.x and before didn't have
certificate name validation support, they still exposed this field for
the user to perform the validation in the application code, and there
is no way to detect this problem through that API.
