* Adjust pg_dump's priority ordering for casts.Tom Lane2021-11-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a stored expression depends on a user-defined cast, the backend records the dependency as being on the cast's implementation function --- or indeed, if there's no cast function involved but just RelabelType or CoerceViaIO, no dependency is recorded at all. This is problematic for pg_dump, which is at risk of dumping things in the wrong order leading to restore failures. Given the lack of previous reports, the risk isn't that high, but it can be demonstrated if the cast is used in some view whose rowtype is then used as an input or result type for some other function. (That results in the view getting hoisted into the functions portion of the dump, ahead of the cast.) A logically bulletproof fix for this would require including the cast's OID in the parsed form of the expression, whence it could be extracted by dependency.c, and then the stored dependency would force pg_dump to do the right thing. Such a change would be fairly invasive, and certainly not back-patchable. Moreover, since we'd prefer that an expression using cast syntax be equal() to one doing the same thing by explicit function call, the cast OID field would have to have special ignored-by-comparisons semantics, making things messy. So, let's instead fix this by a very simple hack in pg_dump: change the object-type priority order so that casts are initially sorted before functions, immediately after types. This fixes the problem in a fairly direct way for casts that have no implementation function. For those that do, the implementation function will be hoisted to just before the cast by the dependency sorting step, so that we still have a valid dump order. (I'm not sure that this provides a full guarantee of no problems; but since it's been like this for many years without any previous reports, this is probably enough to fix it in practice.) Per report from Дмитрий Иванов. Back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAPL5KHoGa3uvyKp6z6m48LwCnTsK+LRQ_mcA4uKGfqAVSEjV_A@mail.gmail.com

* Fix pg_dump --inserts mode for generated columns with dropped columns.Tom Lane2021-11-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a table contains a generated column that's preceded by a dropped column, dumpTableData_insert failed to account for the dropped column, and would emit DEFAULT placeholder(s) in the wrong column(s). This resulted in failures at restore time. The default COPY code path did not have this bug, likely explaining why it wasn't noticed sooner. While we're fixing this, we can be a little smarter about the situation: (1) avoid unnecessarily fetching the values of generated columns, (2) omit generated columns from the output, too, if we're using --column-inserts. While these modes aren't expected to be as high-performance as the COPY path, we might as well be as efficient as we can; it doesn't add much complexity. Per report from Дмитрий Иванов. Back-patch to v12 where generated columns came in. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAPL5KHrkBniyQt5e1rafm5DdXvbgiiqfEQEJ9GjtVzN71Jj5pA@mail.gmail.com
* Probe $PROVE not $PERL while checking for modules needed by TAP tests.Tom Lane2021-11-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Normally "prove" and "perl" come from the same Perl installation, but we support the case where they don't (mainly because the MSys buildfarm animals need this). In that case, AX_PROG_PERL_MODULES is completely the wrong thing to use, because it's checking what "perl" has. Instead, make a little TAP test script including the required modules, and run that under "prove". We don't need ax_prog_perl_modules.m4 at all after this change, so remove it. Back-patch to all supported branches, for the buildfarm's benefit. (In v10, this also back-patches the effects of commit 264eb03aa.)

* pg_receivewal, pg_recvlogical: allow canceling initial password prompt.Tom Lane2021-11-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously it was impossible to terminate these programs via control-C while they were prompting for a password. We can fix that trivially for their initial password prompts, by moving setup of the SIGINT handler from just before to just after their initial GetConnection() calls. This fix doesn't permit escaping out of later re-prompts, but those should be exceedingly rare, since the user's password or the server's authentication setup would have to have changed meanwhile. We considered applying a fix similar to commit 46d665bc2, but that seemed more complicated than it'd be worth. Moreover, this way is back-patchable, which that wasn't. The misbehavior exists in all supported versions, so back-patch to all. Tom Lane and Nathan Bossart Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/747443.1635536754@sss.pgh.pa.us

* Fix SP-GiST scan initialization logic for binary-compatible cases.Tom Lane2021-11-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit ac9099fc1 rearranged the logic in spgGetCache() that determines the index's attType (nominal input data type) and leafType (actual type stored in leaf index tuples). Turns out this broke things for the case where (a) the actual input data type is different from the nominal type, (b) the opclass's config function leaves leafType defaulted, and (c) the opclass has no "compress" function. (b) caused us to assign the actual input data type as leafType, and then since that's not attType, we complained that a "compress" function is required. For non-polymorphic opclasses, condition (a) arises in binary-compatible cases, such as using SP-GiST text_ops for a varchar column, or using any opclass on a domain over its nominal input type. To fix, use attType for leafType when the index's declared column type is different from but binary-compatible with attType. Do this only in the defaulted-leafType case, to avoid overriding any explicit selection made by the opclass. Per bug #17294 from Ilya Anfimov. Back-patch to v14.

* Use appropriate -Wno-warning switches when compiling bitcode.Tom Lane2021-11-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We use "clang" to compile bitcode files for LLVM inlining. That might be different from the build's main C compiler, so it needs its own set of compiler flags. To simplify configure, we don't bother adding any -W switches to that flag set; there's little need since the main build will show us any warnings. However, if we don't want to see unwanted warnings, we still have to add any -Wno-warning switches we'd normally use with clang. This escaped notice before commit 9ff47ea41, which tried to add -Wno-compound-token-split-by-macro; buildfarm animals using mismatched CC and CLANG still showed those warnings. I'm not sure why we never saw any effects from the lack of -Wno-unused-command-line-argument (maybe that's only activated by -Wall?). clang does not currently support -Wno-format-truncation or -Wno-stringop-truncation, although in the interests of future-proofing and consistency I included tests for those. Back-patch to v11 where we started building bitcode files. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/2921539.1637254619@sss.pgh.pa.us

* Add table to regression tests for binary-compatibility checks in pg_upgradeMichael Paquier2021-11-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit adds to the main regression test suite a table with all the in-core data types (some exceptions apply). This table is not dropped, so as pg_upgrade would be able to check the binary compatibility of the types tracked in the table. If a new type is added in core, this part of the tests would need a refresh but the tests are designed to fail if that were to happen. As this is useful for upgrades and that these rely on the objects created in the regression test suite of the old version upgraded from, a backpatch down to 12 is done, which is the last point where a binary incompatible change has been done (7c15cef). This will hopefully be enough to find out if something gets broken during the development of a new version of Postgres, so as it is possible to take actions in pg_upgrade itself in this case (like 0ccfc28 for sql_identifier). An area that is not covered yet is related to external modules, which may create their own types. The testing infrastructure of pg_upgrade is not integrated yet with the external modules stored in core (src/test/modules/ or contrib/, all use the same database name for their tests so there would be an overlap). This could be improved in the future.

* Provide a variant of simple_prompt() that can be interrupted by ^C.Tom Lane2021-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Up to now, you couldn't escape out of psql's \password command by typing control-C (or other local spelling of SIGINT). This is pretty user-unfriendly, so improve it. To do so, we have to modify the functions provided by pg_get_line.c; but we don't want to mess with psql's SIGINT handler setup, so provide an API that lets that handler cause the cancel to occur. This relies on the assumption that we won't do any major harm by longjmp'ing out of fgets(). While that's obviously a little shaky, we've long had the same assumption in the main input loop, and few issues have been reported. psql has some other simple_prompt() calls that could usefully be improved the same way; for now, just deal with \password.

* Clean up error handling in pg_basebackup's walmethods.c.Tom Lane2021-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The error handling here was a mess, as a result of a fundamentally bad design (relying on errno to keep its value much longer than is safe to assume) as well as a lot of just plain sloppiness, both as to noticing errors at all and as to reporting the correct errno. Moreover, the recent addition of LZ4 compression broke things completely, because liblz4 doesn't use errno to report errors. To improve matters, keep the error state in the DirectoryMethodData or TarMethodData struct, and add a string field so we can handle cases that don't set errno. (The tar methods already had a version of this, but it can be done more efficiently since all these cases use a constant error string.) Make the dir and tar methods handle errors in basically identical ways, which they didn't before. This requires copying errno into the state struct in a lot of places, which is a bit tedious, but it has the virtue that we can get rid of ad-hoc code to save and restore errno in a number of places ... not to mention that it fixes other places that should've saved/restored errno but neglected to. In passing, fix some pointlessly static buffers to be ordinary local variables. There remains an issue about exactly how to handle errors from fsync(), but that seems like material for its own patch. While the LZ4 problems are new, all the rest of this is fixes for old bugs, so backpatch to v10 where walmethods.c was introduced. Patch by me; thanks to Michael Paquier for review.

* Handle close() failures more robustly in pg_dump and pg_basebackup.Tom Lane2021-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Coverity complained that applying get_gz_error after a failed gzclose, as we did in one place in pg_basebackup, is unsafe. I think it's right: it's entirely likely that the call is touching freed memory. Change that to inspect errno, as we do for other gzclose calls. Also, be careful to initialize errno to zero immediately before any gzclose() call where we care about the error status. (There are some calls where we don't, because we already failed at some previous step.) This ensures that we don't get a misleadingly irrelevant error code if gzclose() fails in a way that doesn't set errno. We could work harder at that, but it looks to me like all such cases are basically can't-happen if we're not misusing zlib, so it's not worth the extra notational cruft that would be required. Also, fix several places that simply failed to check for close-time errors at all, mostly at some remove from the close or gzclose itself; and one place that did check but didn't bother to report the errno. Back-patch to v12. These mistakes are older than that, but between the frontend logging API changes that happened in v12 and the fact that frontend code can't rely on %m before that, the patch would need substantial revision to work in older branches. It doesn't quite seem worth the trouble given the lack of related field complaints. Patch by me; thanks to Michael Paquier for review. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/1343113.1636489231@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Fix display of SQL-standard function's arguments in INSERT/SELECT.Tom Lane2021-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a SQL-standard function body contains an INSERT ... SELECT statement, any function parameters referenced within the SELECT were always printed in $N style, rather than using the parameter name if any. While not strictly incorrect, this wasn't the intention, and it's inconsistent with the way that such parameters would be printed in any other kind of statement. The cause is that the recursion to get_query_def from get_insert_query_def neglected to pass down the context->namespaces list, passing constant NIL instead. This is a very ancient oversight, but AFAICT it had no visible consequences before commit e717a9a18 added an outermost namespace with function parameters. We don't allow INSERT ... SELECT as a sub-query, except in a top-level WITH clause, where it couldn't contain any outer references that might need to access upper namespaces. So although that's arguably a bug, I don't see any point in changing it before v14. In passing, harden the code added to get_parameter by e717a9a18 so that it won't crash if a PARAM_EXTERN Param appears in an unexpected place. Per report from Erki Eessaar.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When deparsing an expression of the form "remote_var OP constant", we'd normally apply a cast to the constant to make sure that the remote parser thinks it's of the same type we do. However, doing so is often not necessary, and it causes problems if the user has intentionally declared the local column as being of a different type than the remote column. A plausible use-case for that is using text to represent a type that's an enum on the remote side. A comparison on such a column will get shipped as "var = 'foo'::text", which blows up on the remote side because there's no enum = text operator. But if we simply leave off the explicit cast, the comparison will do exactly what the user wants. It's possible to do this without major risk of semantic problems, by relying on the longstanding parser heuristic that "if one operand of an operator is of type unknown, while the other one has a known type, assume that the unknown operand is also of that type". Hence, this patch leaves off the cast only if (a) the operator inputs have the same type locally; (b) the constant will print as a string literal or NULL, both of which are initially taken as type unknown; and (c) the non-Const input is a plain foreign Var. Rule (c) guarantees that the remote parser will know the type of the non-Const input; moreover, it means that if this cast-omission does cause any semantic surprises, that can only happen in cases where the local column has a different type than the remote column. That wasn't guaranteed to work anyway, and this patch should represent a net usability gain for such cases. One point that I (tgl) remain slightly uncomfortable with is that we will ignore an implicit RelabelType when deciding if the non-Const input is a plain Var. That makes it a little squishy to argue that the remote should resolve the Const as being of the same type as its Var, because then our Const is not the same type as our Var. However, if we don't do that, then this hack won't work as desired if the user chooses to use varchar rather than text to represent some remote column. That seems useful, so do it like this for now. We might have to give up the RelabelType-ignoring bit if any problems surface. Dian Fay, with review and kibitzing by me Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/C9LU294V7K4F.34LRRDU449O45@lamia
* Report found versions of required perl modulesAndrew Dunstan2021-11-12
| | | | | | | | | | Configure tests for the presence of perl modules required for TAP tests, and that they meet specified minimum version requirements. This patch makes it report the version of the module that's actually found rather than just an 'ok' message. This will help in deciding if we can upgrade minimum requirements for these modules.

* Fix memory overrun when querying pg_stat_slruMichael Paquier2021-11-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | pg_stat_get_slru() in pgstatfuncs.c would point to one element after the end of the array PgStat_SLRUStats when finishing to scan its entries. This had no direct consequences as no data from the extra memory area was read, but static analyzers would rightfully complain here. So let's be clean. While on it, this adds one regression test in the area reserved for system views.

* Update heap_page_prune() free space map comments.Peter Geoghegan2021-11-11
| | | | | | | | It is up to the heap_page_prune() caller to decide what to do about updating the FSM for a page following pruning. Update old comments that address what we might want to do as if it was the responsibility of heap_page_prune() itself. heap_page_prune() doesn't have enough high-level context to make a sensible choice.

* Improve performance of pgarch_readyXlog() with many status files.Robert Haas2021-11-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Presently, the archive_status directory was scanned for each file to archive. When there are many status files, say because archive_command has been failing for a long time, these directory scans can get very slow. With this change, the archiver remembers several files to archive during each directory scan, speeding things up. To ensure timeline history files are archived as quickly as possible, XLogArchiveNotify() forces the archiver to do a new directory scan as soon as the .ready file for one is created.

* Fall back to unsigned int, not int, for socklen_t.Tom Lane2021-11-11
| | | | | | | | | | It's a coin toss which of these is a better default assumption. However, of the machines we have in the buildfarm, the only ones relying on the fallback socklen_t definition are ancient HPUX, and on that platform unsigned int is the right choice.

* Fix buffer overrun in unicode string normalization with empty inputMichael Paquier2021-11-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | PostgreSQL 13 and newer versions are directly impacted by that through the SQL function normalize(), which would cause a call of this function to write one byte past its allocation if using in input an empty string after recomposing the string with NFC and NFKC. Older versions (v10~v12) are not directly affected by this problem as the only code path using normalization is SASLprep in SCRAM authentication that forbids the case of an empty string, but let's make the code more robust anyway there so as any out-of-core callers of this function are covered. The solution chosen to fix this issue is simple, with the addition of a fast-exit path if the decomposed string is found as empty. This would only happen for an empty string as at its lowest level a codepoint would be decomposed as itself if it has no entry in the decomposition table or if it has a decomposition size of 0. Some tests are added to cover this issue in v13~. Note that an empty string has always been considered as normalized (grammar "IS NF[K]{C,D} NORMALIZED", through the SQL function is_normalized()) for all the operations allowed (NFC, NFD, NFKC and NFKD) since this feature has been introduced as of 2991ac5. This behavior is unchanged but some tests are added in v13~ to check after that. I have also checked "make normalization-check" in src/common/unicode/, while on it (works in 13~, and breaks in older stable branches independently of this commit). The release notes should just mention this commit for v13~. Reported-by: Matthijs van der Vleuten Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/17277-0c527a373794e802@postgresql.org Backpatch-through: 10
* Clean up compilation warnings coming from PL/Perl with clang-12~Michael Paquier2021-11-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | clang-12 has introduced -Wcompound-token-split-by-macro, that is causing a large amount of warnings when building PL/Perl because of its interactions with upstream Perl. This commit adds one -Wno to CFLAGS at ./configure time if the flag is supported by the compiler to silence all those warnings. Upstream perl has fixed this issue, but it is going to take some time before this is spread across the buildfarm, and we have noticed that some animals would be useful with an extra -Werror to help with the detection of incorrect placeholders (see b0cf544), dangomushi being one.

* Doc: improve protocol spec for logical replication Type messages.Tom Lane2021-11-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | protocol.sgml documented the layout for Type messages, but completely dropped the ball otherwise, failing to explain what they are, when they are sent, or what they're good for. While at it, do a little copy-editing on the description of Relation messages. In passing, adjust the comment for apply_handle_type() to make it clearer that we choose not to do anything when receiving a Type message, not that we think it has no use whatsoever.
