* Consider unsorted paths in generate_useful_gather_pathsTomas Vondra2020-12-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | generate_useful_gather_paths used to skip unsorted paths (without any pathkeys), but that is unnecessary - the later code actually can handle such paths just fine by adding a Sort node. This is clearly a thinko, preventing construction of useful plans. Backpatch to 13, where Incremental Sort was introduced.

* Doc: fix description of how to use src/tutorial files.Tom Lane2020-12-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The separate "cd" command before invoking psql made sense (or at least I thought so) when it was added in commit ed1939332. But 4e3a61635 removed the supporting text that explained when to use it, making it just confusing. So drop it. Also switch from four-dot to three-dot filler for the unsupplied part of the path, since at least one person has read the four-dot filler as a typo for "../..". And fix these/those inconsistency.

* Avoid memcpy() with same source and destination during relmapper init.Tom Lane2020-12-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A narrow reading of the C standard says that memcpy(x,x,n) is undefined, although it's hard to envision an implementation that would really misbehave. However, analysis tools such as valgrind might whine about this; accordingly, let's band-aid relmapper.c to not do it. See also 5b630501e, d3f4e8a8a, ad7b48ea0, and other similar fixes. Apparently, none of those folk tried valgrinding initdb? This has been like this for long enough that I'm surprised it hasn't been reported before. Back-patch, just in case anybody wants to use a back branch on a platform that complains about this; we back-patched those earlier fixes too.

* Teach contain_leaked_vars that assignment SubscriptingRefs are leaky.Tom Lane2020-12-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | array_get_element and array_get_slice qualify as leakproof, since they will silently return NULL for bogus subscripts. But array_set_element and array_set_slice throw errors for such cases, making them clearly not leakproof. contain_leaked_vars was evidently written with only the former case in mind, as it gave the wrong answer for assignment SubscriptingRefs (nee ArrayRefs). This would be a live security bug, were it not that assignment SubscriptingRefs can only occur in INSERT and UPDATE target lists, while we only care about leakproofness for qual expressions; so the wrong answer can't occur in practice. Still, that's a rather shaky answer for a security-related question; and maybe in future somebody will want to ask about leakproofness of a tlist. So it seems wise to fix and even back-patch this correction. (We would need some change here anyway for the upcoming generic-subscripting patch, since extensions might make different tradeoffs about whether to throw errors. Commit 558d77f20 attempted to lay groundwork for that by asking check_functions_in_node whether a SubscriptingRef contains leaky functions; but that idea fails now that the implementation methods of a SubscriptingRef are not SQL-visible functions that could be marked leakproof or not.) Back-patch to 9.6. While 9.5 has the same issue, the code's a bit different. It seems quite unlikely that we'd introduce any actual bug in the short time 9.5 has left to live, so the work/risk/reward balance isn't attractive for changing 9.5.

* Doc: clarify that CREATE TABLE discards redundant unique constraints.Tom Lane2020-12-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The SQL standard says that redundant unique constraints are disallowed, but we long ago decided that throwing an error would be too user-unfriendly, so we just drop redundant ones. The docs weren't very clear about that though, as this behavior was only explained for PRIMARY KEY vs UNIQUE, not UNIQUE vs UNIQUE. While here, I couldn't resist doing some copy-editing and markup-fixing on the adjacent text about INCLUDE options. Per bug #16767 from Matthias vd Meent.

* pgcrypto: Detect errors with EVP calls from OpenSSLMichael Paquier2020-12-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following routines are called within pgcrypto when handling digests but there were no checks for failures: - EVP_MD_CTX_size (can fail with -1 as of 3.0.0) - EVP_MD_CTX_block_size (can fail with -1 as of 3.0.0) - EVP_DigestInit_ex - EVP_DigestUpdate - EVP_DigestFinal_ex A set of elog(ERROR) is added by this commit to detect such failures, that should never happen except in the event of a processing failure internal to OpenSSL. Note that it would be possible to use ERR_reason_error_string() to get more context about such errors, but these refer mainly to the internals of OpenSSL, so it is not really obvious how useful that would be. This is left out for simplicity. Per report from Coverity. Thanks to Tom Lane for the discussion. Backpatch-through: 9.5
* jit: Correct parameter type for generated expression evaluation functions.Andres Freund2020-12-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | clang only uses the 'i1' type for scalar booleans, not for pointers to booleans (as the pointer might be pointing into a larger memory allocation). Therefore a pointer-to-bool needs to the "storage" boolean. There's no known case of wrong code generation due to this, but it seems quite possible that it could cause problems (see e.g. 72559438f92).

* Fix more race conditions in the newly-added pg_rewind test.Heikki Linnakangas2020-12-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | pg_rewind looks at the control file to check what timeline a server is on. But promotion doesn't immediately write a checkpoint, it merely writes an end-of-recovery WAL record. If pg_rewind runs immediately after promotion, before the checkpoint has completed, it will think think that the server is still on the earlier timeline. We ran into this issue a long time ago already, see commit 484a848a73f. It's a bit bogus that pg_rewind doesn't determine the timeline correctly until the end-of-recovery checkpoint has completed. We probably should fix that. But for now work around it by waiting for the checkpoint to complete before running pg_rewind, like we did in commit 484a848a73f. In the passing, tidy up the new test a little bit. Rerder the INSERTs so that the comments make more sense, remove a spurious CHECKPOINT call after pg_rewind has already run, and add --debug option, so that if this fails again, we'll have more data.

* Fix missed step in removal of useless RESULT RTEs in the planner.Tom Lane2020-12-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 4be058fe9 forgot that the append_rel_list would already be populated at the time we remove useless result RTEs, and it might contain PlaceHolderVars that need to be adjusted like the ones in the main parse tree.

* Fix race conditions in newly-added test.Heikki Linnakangas2020-12-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Buildfarm has been failing sporadically on the new test. I was able to reproduce this by adding a random 0-10 s delay in the walreceiver, just before it connects to the primary. There's a race condition where node_3 is promoted before it has fully caught up with node_1, leading to diverged timelines. When node_1 is later reconfigured as standby following node_3, it fails to catch up: LOG: primary server contains no more WAL on requested timeline 1 LOG: new timeline 2 forked off current database system timeline 1 before current recovery point 0/30000A0 That's the situation where you'd need to use pg_rewind, but in this case it happens already when we are just setting up the actual pg_rewind scenario we want to test, so change the test so that it waits until node_3 is connected and fully caught up before promoting it, so that you get a clean, controlled failover. Also rewrite some of the comments, for clarity. The existing comments detailed what each step in the test did, but didn't give a good overview of the situation the steps were trying to create. For reasons I don't understand, the test setup had to be written slightly differently in 9.6 and 9.5 than in later versions. The 9.5/9.6 version needed node 1 to be reinitialized from backup, whereas in later versions it could be shut down and reconfigured to be a standby. But even 9.5 should support "clean switchover", where primary makes sure that pending WAL is replicated to standby on shutdown. It would be nice to figure out what's going on there, but that's independent of pg_rewind and the scenario that this test tests.

* Fix pg_rewind bugs when rewinding a standby server.Heikki Linnakangas2020-12-03

* Ensure that expandTableLikeClause() re-examines the same table.Tom Lane2020-12-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As it stood, expandTableLikeClause() re-did the same relation_openrv call that transformTableLikeClause() had done. However there are scenarios where this would not find the same table as expected. We hold lock on the LIKE source table, so it can't be renamed or dropped, but another table could appear before it in the search path. This explains the odd behavior reported in bug #16758 when cloning a table as a temp table of the same name. This case worked as expected before commit 502898192 introduced the need to open the source table twice, so we should fix it. To make really sure we get the same table, let's re-open it by OID not name. That requires adding an OID field to struct TableLikeClause, which is a little nervous-making from an ABI standpoint, but as long as it's at the end I don't think there's any serious risk. Per bug #16758 from Marc Boeren. Like the previous patch, back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/16758-840e84a6cfab276d@postgresql.org
* Avoid memcpy() with a NULL source pointer and count == 0Alvaro Herrera2020-12-01

* Free disk space for dropped relations on commit.Thomas Munro2020-12-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When committing a transaction that dropped a relation, we previously truncated only the first segment file to free up disk space (the one that won't be unlinked until the next checkpoint). Truncate higher numbered segments too, even though we unlink them on commit. This frees the disk space immediately, even if other backends have open file descriptors and might take a long time to get around to handling shared invalidation events and closing them. Also extend the same behavior to the first segment, in recovery. Back-patch to all supported releases.

* Remove configure-time probe for DocBook DTD.Tom Lane2020-11-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Checking for DocBook being installed was valuable when we were on the OpenSP docs toolchain, because that was rather hard to get installed fully. Nowadays, as long as you have xmllint and xsltproc installed, you're good, because those programs will fetch the DocBook files off the net at need. Moreover, testing this at configure time means that a network access may well occur whether or not you have any interest in building the docs later. That can be slow (typically 2 or 3 seconds, though much higher delays have been reported), and it seems not very nice to be doing an off-machine access without warning, too. Hence, drop the PGAC_CHECK_DOCBOOK probe, and adjust related documentation. Without that macro, there's not much left of config/docbook.m4 at all, so I just removed it.

* Fix recently-introduced breakage in psql's \connect command.Tom Lane2020-11-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Through my misreading of what the existing code actually did, commits 85c54287a et al. broke psql's behavior for the case where "\c connstring" provides a password in the connstring. We should use that password in such a case, but as of 85c54287a we ignored it (and instead, prompted for a password). Commit 94929f1cf fixed that in HEAD, but since I thought it was cleaning up a longstanding misbehavior and not one I'd just created, I didn't back-patch it. Hence, back-patch the portions of 94929f1cf having to do with password management. In addition to fixing the introduced bug, this means that "\c -reuse-previous=on connstring" will allow re-use of an existing connection's password if the connstring doesn't change user/host/port. That didn't happen before, but it seems like a bug fix, and anyway I'm loath to have significant differences in this code across versions. Also fix an error with the same root cause about whether or not to override a connstring's setting of client_encoding. As of 85c54287a we always did so; restore the previous behavior of overriding only when stdin/stdout are a terminal and there's no environment setting of PGCLIENTENCODING. (I find that definition a bit surprising, but right now doesn't seem like the time to revisit it.) Per bug #16746 from Krzysztof Gradek.

* Fix a recently-introduced race condition in LISTEN/NOTIFY handling.Tom Lane2020-11-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 566372b3d fixed some race conditions involving concurrent SimpleLruTruncate calls, but it introduced new ones in async.c. A newly-listening backend could attempt to read Notify SLRU pages that were in process of being truncated, possibly causing an error. Also, the QUEUE_TAIL pointer could become set to a value that's not equal to the queue position of any backend. While that's fairly harmless in v13 and up (thanks to commit 51004c717), in older branches it resulted in near-permanent disabling of the queue truncation logic, so that continued use of NOTIFY led to queue-fill warnings and eventual inability to send any more notifies. (A server restart is enough to make that go away, but it's still pretty unpleasant.) The core of the problem is confusion about whether QUEUE_TAIL represents the "logical" tail of the queue (i.e., the oldest still-interesting data) or the "physical" tail (the oldest data we've not yet truncated away). To fix, split that into two variables. QUEUE_TAIL regains its definition as the logical tail, and we introduce a new variable to track the oldest un-truncated page. Per report from Mikael Gustavsson.

* Fix CLUSTER progress reporting of number of blocks scanned.Fujii Masao2020-11-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously pg_stat_progress_cluster view reported the current block number in heap scan as the number of heap blocks scanned (i.e., heap_blks_scanned). This reported number could be incorrect when synchronize_seqscans is enabled, because it allowed the heap scan to start at block in middle. This could result in wraparounds in the heap_blks_scanned column when the heap scan wrapped around. This commit fixes the bug by calculating the number of blocks from the block that the heap scan starts at to the current block in scan, and reporting that number in the heap_blks_scanned column. Also, in pg_stat_progress_cluster view, previously heap_blks_scanned could not reach heap_blks_total at the end of heap scan phase if the last pages scanned were empty. This commit fixes the bug by manually updating heap_blks_scanned to the same value as heap_blks_total when the heap scan phase finishes. Back-patch to v12 where pg_stat_progress_cluster view was introduced.

* In psql's \d commands, don't truncate attribute default values.Tom Lane2020-11-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Historically, psql has truncated the text of a column's default expression at 128 characters. This is unlike any other behavior in describe.c, and it's become particularly confusing now that the limit is only applied to the expression proper and not to the "generated always as (...) stored" text that may get wrapped around it. Excavation in our git history suggests that the original motivation for this limit was not really to limit the display width (as I'd long supposed), but to make it safe to use a fixed-width output buffer to store the result. That implementation restriction is long gone of course, but the limit remained. Let's just get rid of it. While here, rearrange the logic about when to free the output string so that it's not so dependent on unstated assumptions about the possible values of attidentity and attgenerated. Per bug #16743 from David Turon. Back-patch to v12 where GENERATED came in. (Arguably we could take it back further, but I'm hesitant to change the behavior of long-stable branches for this.)

* Properly check index mark/restore in ExecSupportsMarkRestore.Andrew Gierth2020-11-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously this code assumed that all IndexScan nodes supported mark/restore, which is not true since it depends on optional index AM support functions. This could lead to errors about missing support functions in rare edge cases of mergejoins with no sort keys, where an unordered non-btree index scan was placed on the inner path without a protecting Materialize node. (Normally, the fact that merge join requires ordered input would avoid this error.) Backpatch all the way since this bug is ancient. Per report from Eugen Konkov on irc.

* On macOS, use -isysroot in link steps as well as compile steps.Tom Lane2020-11-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We previously put the -isysroot switch only into CPPFLAGS, theorizing that it was only needed to find the right copies of include files. However, it seems that we also need to use it while linking programs, to find the right stub ".tbd" files for libraries. We got away without that up to now, but apparently that was mostly luck. It may also be that failures are only observed when the Xcode version is noticeably out of sync with the host macOS version; the case that's prompting action right now is that builds fail when using latest Xcode (12.2) on macOS Catalina, even though it's fine on Big Sur. Hence, add -isysroot to LDFLAGS as well. (It seems that the more common practice is to put it in CFLAGS, whence it'd be included at both compile and link steps. However, we can't mess with CFLAGS in the platform template file without confusing configure's logic for choosing default CFLAGS.) Back-patch of 49407dc32 into all supported branches.

* Further fixes for CREATE TABLE LIKE: cope with self-referential FKs.Tom Lane2020-11-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 502898192 was too careless about the order of execution of the additional ALTER TABLE operations generated by expandTableLikeClause. It just stuck them all at the end, which seems okay for most purposes. But it falls down in the case where LIKE is importing a primary key or unique index and the outer CREATE TABLE includes a FOREIGN KEY constraint that needs to depend on that index. Weird as that is, it used to work, so we ought to keep it working. To fix, make parse_utilcmd.c insert LIKE clauses between index-creation and FK-creation commands in the transformed list of commands, and change utility.c so that the commands generated by expandTableLikeClause are executed immediately not at the end. One could imagine scenarios where this wouldn't work either; but currently expandTableLikeClause only makes column default expressions, CHECK constraints, and indexes, and this ordering seems fine for those. Per bug #16730 from Sofoklis Papasofokli. Like the previous patch, back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/16730-b902f7e6e0276b30@postgresql.org
* Don't Insert() a VFD entry until it's fully built.Tom Lane2020-11-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Otherwise, if FDDEBUG is enabled, the debugging output fails because it tries to read the fileName, which isn't set up yet (and should in fact always be NULL). AFAICT, this has been wrong since Berkeley. Before 96bf88d52, it would accidentally fail to crash on platforms where snprintf() is forgiving about being passed a NULL pointer for %s; but the file name intended to be included in the debug output wouldn't ever have shown up. Report and fix by Greg Nancarrow. Although this is only visibly broken in custom-made builds, it still seems worth back-patching to all supported branches, as the FDDEBUG code is pretty useless as it stands.

* Do not return NULL for error cases in satisfies_hash_partition().Tom Lane2020-11-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since this function is used as a CHECK constraint condition, returning NULL is tantamount to returning TRUE, which would have the effect of letting in a row that doesn't satisfy the hash condition. Admittedly, the cases for which this is done should be unreachable in practice, but that doesn't make it any less a bad idea. It also seems like a dartboard was used to decide which error cases should throw errors as opposed to returning NULL. For the checks for NULL input values, I just switched it to returning false. There's some argument that an error would be better; but the case really should be can't-happen in a generated hash constraint, so it's likely not worth more code for. For the parent-relation-open-failure case, it seems like we might as well let relation_open throw an error, instead of having an impossible-to-diagnose constraint failure. Back-patch to v11 where this code came in. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/24067.1605134819@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Use "true" not "TRUE" in one ICU function call.Tom Lane2020-11-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This was evidently missed in commit 6337865f3, which generally did s/TRUE/true/ everywhere. It escaped notice up to now because ICU versions before ICU 68 provided definitions of "TRUE" and "FALSE" regardless. With ICU 68, it fails to compile. Per report from Condor. Back-patch to v11 where 6337865f3 came in. (I've not tested v10, where this call originated, but I imagine it's fine since we defined TRUE in c.h back then.)
