* Fix json_to_record() bug with nested objects.Tom Lane2016-03-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A thinko concerning nesting depth caused json_to_record() to produce bogus output if a field of its input object contained a sub-object with a field name matching one of the requested output column names. Per bug #13996 from Johann Visagie. I added a regression test case based on his example, plus parallel tests for json_to_recordset, jsonb_to_record, jsonb_to_recordset. The latter three do not exhibit the same bug (which suggests that we may be missing some opportunities to share code...) but testing seems like a good idea in any case. Back-patch to 9.4 where these functions were introduced.
* Improve error message for rejecting RETURNING clauses with dropped columns.Tom Lane2016-02-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This error message was written with only ON SELECT rules in mind, but since then we also made RETURNING-clause targetlists go through the same logic. This means that you got a rather off-topic error message if you tried to add a rule with RETURNING to a table having dropped columns. Ideally we'd just support that, but some preliminary investigation says that it might be a significant amount of work. Seeing that Nicklas Avén's complaint is the first one we've gotten about this in the ten years or so that the code's been like that, I'm unwilling to put much time into it. Instead, improve the error report by issuing a different message for RETURNING cases, and revise the associated comment based on this investigation. Discussion: 1456176604.17219.9.camel@jordogskog.no

* Fix incorrect varlevelsup in security_barrier_replace_vars().Dean Rasheed2016-02-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When converting an RTE with securityQuals into a security barrier subquery RTE, ensure that the Vars in the new subquery's targetlist all have varlevelsup = 0 so that they correctly refer to the underlying base relation being wrapped. The original code was creating new Vars by copying them from existing Vars referencing the base relation found elsewhere in the query, but failed to account for the fact that such Vars could come from sublink subqueries, and hence have varlevelsup > 0. In practice it looks like this could only happen with nested security barrier views, where the outer view has a WHERE clause containing a correlated subquery, due to the order in which the Vars are processed. Bug: #13988 Reported-by: Adam Guthrie Backpatch-to: 9.4, where updatable SB views were introduced
* Avoid multiple free_struct_lconv() calls on same data.Tom Lane2016-02-28
| | | | | | | | | | | A failure partway through PGLC_localeconv() led to a situation where the next call would call free_struct_lconv() a second time, leading to free() on already-freed strings, typically leading to a core dump. Add a flag to remember whether we need to do that. Per report from Thom Brown. His example case only provokes the failure as far back as 9.4, but nonetheless this code is obviously broken, so back-patch to all supported branches.

* Fix wrong keysize in PrivateRefCountHash creation.Andres Freund2016-02-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | In 4b4b680c3 I accidentally used sizeof(PrivateRefCountArray) instead of sizeof(PrivateRefCountEntry) when creating the refcount overflow hashtable. As the former is bigger than the latter, this luckily only resulted in a slightly increased memory usage when many buffers are pinned in a backend.

* Fix two-argument jsonb_object when called with empty arraysAndrew Dunstan2016-02-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some over-eager copy-and-pasting on my part resulted in a nonsense result being returned in this case. I have adopted the same pattern for handling this case as is used in the one argument form of the function, i.e. we just skip over the code that adds values to the object. Diagnosis and patch from Michael Paquier, although not quite his solution. Fixes bug #13936. Backpatch to 9.5 where jsonb_object was introduced.

* Fix multiple bugs in contrib/pgstattuple's pgstatindex() function.Tom Lane2016-02-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Dead or half-dead index leaf pages were incorrectly reported as live, as a consequence of a code rearrangement I made (during a moment of severe brain fade, evidently) in commit d287818eb514d431. The index metapage was not counted in index_size, causing that result to not agree with the actual index size on-disk. Index root pages were not counted in internal_pages, which is inconsistent compared to the case of a root that's also a leaf (one-page index), where the root would be counted in leaf_pages. Aside from that inconsistency, this could lead to additional transient discrepancies between the reported page counts and index_size, since it's possible for pgstatindex's scan to see zero or multiple pages marked as BTP_ROOT, if the root moves due to a split during the scan. With these fixes, index_size will always be exactly one page more than the sum of the displayed page counts. Also, the index_size result was incorrectly documented as being measured in pages; it's always been measured in bytes. (While fixing that, I couldn't resist doing some small additional wordsmithing on the pgstattuple docs.) Including the metapage causes the reported index_size to not be zero for an empty index. To preserve the desired property that the pgstattuple regression test results are platform-independent (ie, BLCKSZ configuration independent), scale the index_size result in the regression tests. The documentation issue was reported by Otsuka Kenji, and the inconsistent root page counting by Peter Geoghegan; the other problems noted by me. Back-patch to all supported branches, because this has been broken for a long time.
* Make plpython cope with funny characters in function names.Tom Lane2016-02-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | A function name that's double-quoted in SQL can contain almost any characters, but we were using that name directly as part of the name generated for the Python-level function, and Python doesn't like anything that isn't pretty much a standard identifier. To fix, replace anything that isn't an ASCII letter or digit with an underscore in the generated name. This doesn't create any risk of duplicate Python function names because we were already appending the function OID to the generated name to ensure uniqueness. Per bug #13960 from Jim Nasby. Patch by Jim Nasby, modified a bit by me. Back-patch to all supported branches.
* Improve documentation about CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY.Tom Lane2016-02-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Clarify the description of which transactions will block a CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY command from proceeding, and mention that the index might still not be usable after CREATE INDEX completes. (This happens if the index build detected broken HOT chains, so that pg_index.indcheckxmin gets set, and there are open old transactions preventing the xmin horizon from advancing past the index's initial creation. I didn't want to explain what broken HOT chains are, though, so I omitted an explanation of exactly when old transactions prevent the index from being used.) Per discussion with Chris Travers. Back-patch to all supported branches, since the same text appears in all of them.

* Correct the formulas for System V IPC parameters SEMMNI and SEMMNS in docs.Fujii Masao2016-02-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In runtime.sgml, the old formulas for calculating the reasonable values of SEMMNI and SEMMNS were incorrect. They have forgotten to count the number of semaphores which both the checkpointer process (introduced in 9.2) and the background worker processes (introduced in 9.3) need. This commit fixes those formulas so that they count the number of semaphores which the checkpointer process and the background worker processes need. Report and patch by Kyotaro Horiguchi. Only the patch for 9.3 was modified by me. Back-patch to 9.2 where the checkpointer process was added and the number of needed semaphores was increased.

* pgbench: avoid FD_ISSET on an invalid file descriptorAlvaro Herrera2016-02-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The original code wasn't careful to test the file descriptor returned by PQsocket() for an invalid socket. If an invalid socket did turn up, that would amount to calling FD_ISSET with fd = -1, whereby undefined behavior can be invoked. To fix, test file descriptor for validity and stop further processing if that fails. Problem noticed by Coverity. There is an existing FD_ISSET callsite that does check for invalid sockets beforehand, but the error message reported by it was strerror(errno); in testing the aforementioned change, that turns out to result in "bad socket: Success" which isn't terribly helpful. Instead use PQerrorMessage() in both places which is more likely to contain an useful error message. Backpatch-through: 9.1.
* Suppress compiler warnings about useless comparison of unsigned to zero.Tom Lane2016-02-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | Reportedly, some compilers warn about tests like "c < 0" if c is unsigned, and hence complain about the character range checks I added in commit 3bb3f42f3749d40b8d4de65871e8d828b18d4a45. This is a bit of a pain since the regex library doesn't really want to assume that chr is unsigned. However, since any such reconfiguration would involve manual edits of regcustom.h anyway, we can put it on the shoulders of whoever wants to do that to adjust this new range-checking macro correctly. Per gripes from Coverity and Andres.
* In pg_rewind test suite, triple promote timeout to 90s.Noah Misch2016-02-10

* Accept pg_ctl timeout from the PGCTLTIMEOUT environment variable.Noah Misch2016-02-10
| | | | | | | | | | | Many automated test suites call pg_ctl. Buildfarm members axolotl, hornet, mandrill, shearwater, sungazer and tern have failed when server shutdown took longer than the pg_ctl default 60s timeout. This addition permits slow hosts to easily raise the timeout without us editing a --timeout argument into every test suite pg_ctl call. Back-patch to 9.1 (all supported versions) for the sake of automated testing. Reviewed by Tom Lane.
* Avoid use of sscanf() to parse ispell dictionary files.Tom Lane2016-02-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It turns out that on FreeBSD-derived platforms (including OS X), the *scanf() family of functions is pretty much brain-dead about multibyte characters. In particular it will apply isspace() to individual bytes of input even when those bytes are part of a multibyte character, thus allowing false recognition of a field-terminating space. We appear to have little alternative other than instituting a coding rule that *scanf() is not to be used if the input string might contain multibyte characters. (There was some discussion of relying on "%ls", but that probably just moves the portability problem somewhere else, and besides it doesn't fully prevent BSD *scanf() from using isspace().) This patch is a down payment on that: it gets rid of use of sscanf() to parse ispell dictionary files, which are certainly at great risk of having a problem. The code is cleaner this way anyway, though a bit longer. In passing, improve a few comments. Report and patch by Artur Zakirov, reviewed and somewhat tweaked by me. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* Fix some regex issues with out-of-range characters and large char ranges.Tom Lane2016-02-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, our regex code defined CHR_MAX as 0xfffffffe, which is a bad choice because it is outside the range of type "celt" (int32). Characters approaching that limit could lead to infinite loops in logic such as "for (c = a; c <= b; c++)" where c is of type celt but the range bounds are chr. Such loops will work safely only if CHR_MAX+1 is representable in celt, since c must advance to beyond b before the loop will exit. Fortunately, there seems no reason not to restrict CHR_MAX to 0x7ffffffe. It's highly unlikely that Unicode will ever assign codes that high, and none of our other backend encodings need characters beyond that either. In addition to modifying the macro, we have to explicitly enforce character range restrictions on the values of \u, \U, and \x escape sequences, else the limit is trivially bypassed. Also, the code for expanding case-independent character ranges in bracket expressions had a potential integer overflow in its calculation of the number of characters it could generate, which could lead to allocating too small a character vector and then overwriting memory. An attacker with the ability to supply arbitrary regex patterns could easily cause transient DOS via server crashes, and the possibility for privilege escalation has not been ruled out. Quite aside from the integer-overflow problem, the range expansion code was unnecessarily inefficient in that it always produced a result consisting of individual characters, abandoning the knowledge that we had a range to start with. If the input range is large, this requires excessive memory. Change it so that the original range is reported as-is, and then we add on any case-equivalent characters that are outside that range. With this approach, we can bound the number of individual characters allowed without sacrificing much. This patch allows at most 100000 individual characters, which I believe to be more than the number of case pairs existing in Unicode, so that the restriction will never be hit in practice. It's still possible for range() to take awhile given a large character code range, so also add statement-cancel detection to its loop. The downstream function dovec() also lacked cancel detection, and could take a long time given a large output from range(). Per fuzz testing by Greg Stark. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* Fix overeager pushdown of HAVING clauses when grouping sets are used.Andres Freund2016-02-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In 61444bfb we started to allow HAVING clauses to be fully pushed down into WHERE, even when grouping sets are in use. That turns out not to work correctly, because grouping sets can "produce" NULLs, meaning that filtering in WHERE and HAVING can have different results, even when no aggregates or volatile functions are involved. Instead only allow pushdown of empty grouping sets. It'd be nice to do better, but the exact mechanics of deciding which cases are safe are still being debated. It's important to give correct results till we find a good solution, and such a solution might not be appropriate for backpatching anyway.

| | | | | | | | | | | Get rid of the false implication that PRIMARY KEY is exactly equivalent to UNIQUE + NOT NULL.

* ExecHashRemoveNextSkewBucket must physically copy tuples to main hashtable.Tom Lane2016-02-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 45f6240a8fa9d355 added an assumption in ExecHashIncreaseNumBatches and ExecHashIncreaseNumBuckets that they could find all tuples in the main hash table by iterating over the "dense storage" introduced by that patch. However, ExecHashRemoveNextSkewBucket continued its old practice of simply re-linking deleted skew tuples into the main table's hashchains. Hence, such tuples got lost during any subsequent increase in nbatch or nbuckets, and would never get joined, as reported in bug #13908 from Seth P. I (tgl) think that the aforesaid commit has got multiple design issues and should be reworked rather completely; but there is no time for that right now, so band-aid the problem by making ExecHashRemoveNextSkewBucket physically copy deleted skew tuples into the "dense storage" arena. The added test case is able to exhibit the problem by means of fooling the planner with a WHERE condition that it will underestimate the selectivity of, causing the initial nbatch estimate to be too small. Tomas Vondra and Tom Lane. Thanks to David Johnston for initial investigation into the bug report.
* Improve HJDEBUG code a bit.Tom Lane2016-02-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 30d7ae3c76d2de144232ae6ab328ca86b70e72c3 introduced an HJDEBUG stanza that probably didn't compile at the time, and definitely doesn't compile now, because it refers to a nonexistent variable. It doesn't seem terribly useful anyway, so just get rid of it. While I'm fooling with it, use %z modifier instead of the obsolete hack of casting size_t to unsigned long, and include the HashJoinTable's address in each printout so that it's possible to distinguish the activities of multiple hashjoins occurring in one query. Noted while trying to use HJDEBUG to investigate bug #13908. Back-patch to 9.5, because code that doesn't compile is certainly not very helpful.

* In pg_dump, ensure that view triggers are processed after view rules.Tom Lane2016-02-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a view is split into CREATE TABLE + CREATE RULE to break a circular dependency, then any triggers on the view must be dumped/reloaded after the CREATE RULE; else the backend may reject the CREATE TRIGGER because it's the wrong type of trigger for a plain table. This works all right in plain dump/restore because of pg_dump's sorting heuristic that places triggers after rules. However, when using parallel restore, the ordering must be enforced by a dependency --- and we didn't have one. Fixing this is a mere matter of adding an addObjectDependency() call, except that we need to be able to find all the triggers belonging to the view relation, and there was no easy way to do that. Add fields to pg_dump's TableInfo struct to remember where the associated TriggerInfo struct(s) are. Per bug report from Dennis Kögel. The failure can be exhibited at least as far back as 9.1, so back-patch to all supported branches.

* Fix lossy KNN GiST when ordering operator returns non-float8 value.Teodor Sigaev2016-02-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | KNN GiST with recheck flag should return to executor the same type as ordering operator, GiST detects this type by looking to return type of function which implements ordering operator. But occasionally detecting code works after replacing ordering operator function to distance support function. Distance support function always returns float8, so, detecting code get float8 instead of actual return type of ordering operator. Built-in opclasses don't have ordering operator which doesn't return non-float8 value, so, tests are impossible here, at least now. Backpatch to 9.5 where lozzy KNN was introduced.
