* Improve our heuristic for selecting PG_SYSROOT on macOS.Tom Lane2021-01-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In cases where Xcode is newer than the underlying macOS version, asking xcodebuild for the SDK path will produce a pointer to the SDK shipped with Xcode, which may end up building code that does not work on the underlying macOS version. It appears that in such cases, xcodebuild's answer also fails to match the default behavior of Apple's compiler: assuming one has installed Xcode's "command line tools", there will be an SDK for the OS's own version in /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools, and the compiler will default to using that. This is all pretty poorly documented, but experimentation suggests that "xcrun --show-sdk-path" gives the sysroot path that the compiler is actually using, at least in some cases. Hence, try that first, but revert to xcodebuild if xcrun fails (in very old Xcode, it is missing or lacks the --show-sdk-path switch). Also, "xcrun --show-sdk-path" may give a path that is valid but lacks any OS version identifier. We don't really want that, since most of the motivation for wiring -isysroot into the build flags at all is to ensure that all parts of a PG installation are built against the same SDK, even when considering extensions built later and/or on a different machine. Insist on finding "N.N" in the directory name before accepting the result. (Adding "--sdk macosx" to the xcrun call seems to produce the same answer as xcodebuild, but usually more quickly because it's cached, so we also try that as a fallback.) The core reason why we don't want to use Xcode's default SDK in cases like this is that Apple's technology for introducing new syscalls does not play nice with Autoconf: for example, configure will think that preadv/pwritev exist when using a Big Sur SDK, even when building on an older macOS version where they don't exist. It'd be nice to have a better solution to that problem, but this patch doesn't attempt to fix that. Per report from Sergey Shinderuk. Back-patch to all supported versions.

* Fix calculation of how much shared memory is required to store a TOC.Fujii Masao2021-01-15

* pg_dump: label PUBLICATION TABLE ArchiveEntries with an owner.Tom Lane2021-01-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the same fix as commit 9eabfe300 applied to INDEX ATTACH entries, but for table-to-publication attachments. As in that case, even though the backend doesn't record "ownership" of the attachment, we still ought to label it in the dump archive with the role name that should run the ALTER PUBLICATION command. The existing behavior causes the ALTER to be done by the original role that started the restore; that will usually work fine, but there may be corner cases where it fails. The bulk of the patch is concerned with changing struct PublicationRelInfo to include a pointer to the associated PublicationInfo object, so that we can get the owner's name out of that when the time comes. While at it, I rewrote getPublicationTables() to do just one query of pg_publication_rel, not one per table. Back-patch to v10 where this code was introduced.

* Prevent drop of tablespaces used by partitioned relationsAlvaro Herrera2021-01-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a tablespace is used in a partitioned relation (per commits ca4103025dfe in pg12 for tables and 33e6c34c3267 in pg11 for indexes), it is possible to drop the tablespace, potentially causing various problems. One such was reported in bug #16577, where a rewriting ALTER TABLE causes a server crash. Protect against this by using pg_shdepend to keep track of tablespaces when used for relations that don't keep physical files; we now abort a tablespace if we see that the tablespace is referenced from any partitioned relations. Backpatch this to 11, where this problem has been latent all along. We don't try to create pg_shdepend entries for existing partitioned indexes/tables, but any ones that are modified going forward will be protected. Note slight behavior change: when trying to drop a tablespace that contains both regular tables as well as partitioned ones, you'd previously get ERRCODE_OBJECT_NOT_IN_PREREQUISITE_STATE and now you'll get ERRCODE_DEPENDENT_OBJECTS_STILL_EXIST. Arguably, the latter is more correct. It is possible to add protecting pg_shdepend entries for existing tables/indexes, by doing ALTER TABLE ONLY some_partitioned_table SET TABLESPACE pg_default; ALTER TABLE ONLY some_partitioned_table SET TABLESPACE original_tablespace; for each partitioned table/index that is not in the database default tablespace. Because these partitioned objects do not have storage, no file needs to be actually moved, so it shouldn't take more time than what's required to acquire locks. This query can be used to search for such relations: SELECT ... FROM pg_class WHERE relkind IN ('p', 'I') AND reltablespace <> 0 Reported-by: Alexander Lakhin <exclusion@gmail.com> Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/16577-881633a9f9894fd5@postgresql.org Author: Álvaro Herrera <alvherre@alvh.no-ip.org> Reviewed-by: Michael Paquier <michael@paquier.xyz>

* Disallow a digit as the first character of a variable name in pgbench.Tom Lane2021-01-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The point of this restriction is to avoid trying to substitute variables into timestamp literal values, which may contain strings like '12:34'. There is a good deal more that should be done to reduce pgbench's tendency to substitute where it shouldn't. But this is sufficient to solve the case complained of by Jaime Soler, and it's simple enough to back-patch. Back-patch to v11; before commit 9d36a3866, pgbench had a slightly different definition of what a variable name is, and anyway it seems unwise to change long-stable branches for this.

* pg_dump: label INDEX ATTACH ArchiveEntries with an owner.Tom Lane2021-01-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Although a partitioned index's attachment to its parent doesn't have separate ownership, the ArchiveEntry for it needs to be marked with an owner anyway, to ensure that the ALTER command is run by the appropriate role when restoring with --use-set-session-authorization. Without this, the ALTER will be run by the role that started the restore session, which will usually work but it's formally the wrong thing. Back-patch to v11 where this type of ArchiveEntry was added. In HEAD, add equivalent commentary to the just-added TABLE ATTACH case, which I'd made do the right thing already.

* Fix ancient bug in parsing of BRE-mode regular expressions.Tom Lane2021-01-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | brenext(), when parsing a '*' quantifier, forgot to return any "value" for the token; per the equivalent case in next(), it should return value 1 to indicate that greedy rather than non-greedy behavior is wanted. The result is that the compiled regexp could behave like 'x*?' rather than the intended 'x*', if we were unlucky enough to have a zero in v->nextvalue at this point. That seems to happen with some reliability if we have '.*' at the beginning of a BRE-mode regexp, although that depends on the initial contents of a stack-allocated struct, so it's not guaranteed to fail. Found by Alexander Lakhin using valgrind testing. This bug seems to be aboriginal in Spencer's code, so back-patch all the way. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/16814-6c5e3edd2bdf0d50@postgresql.org
* Adjust createdb TAP tests to work on recent OpenBSD.Tom Lane2021-01-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We found last February that the error-case tests added by commit 008cf0409 failed on OpenBSD, because that platform doesn't really check locale names. At the time it seemed that that was only an issue for LC_CTYPE, but testing on a more recent version of OpenBSD shows that it's now equally lax about LC_COLLATE. Rather than dropping the LC_COLLATE test too, put back LC_CTYPE (reverting c4b0edb07), and adjust these tests to accept the different error message that we get if setlocale() doesn't reject a bogus locale name. The point of these tests is not really what the backend does with the locale name, but to show that createdb quotes funny locale names safely; so we're not losing test reliability this way. Back-patch as appropriate. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/231373.1610058324@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Further second thoughts about idle_session_timeout patch.Tom Lane2021-01-07
| | | | | | | | | | | On reflection, the order of operations in PostgresMain() is wrong. These timeouts ought to be shut down before, not after, we do the post-command-read CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS, to guarantee that any timeout error will be detected there rather than at some ill-defined later point (possibly after having wasted a lot of work). This is really an error in the original idle_in_transaction_timeout patch, so back-patch to 9.6 where that was introduced.
* doc: Remove reference to recovery params for divergence lookup in pg_rewindMichael Paquier2021-01-07

* Detect the deadlocks between backends and the startup process.Fujii Masao2021-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The deadlocks that the recovery conflict on lock is involved in can happen between hot-standby backends and the startup process. If a backend takes an access exclusive lock on the table and which finally triggers the deadlock, that deadlock can be detected as expected. On the other hand, previously, if the startup process took an access exclusive lock and which finally triggered the deadlock, that deadlock could not be detected and could remain even after deadlock_timeout passed. This is a bug. The cause of this bug was that the code for handling the recovery conflict on lock didn't take care of deadlock case at all. It assumed that deadlocks involving the startup process and backends were able to be detected by the deadlock detector invoked within backends. But this assumption was incorrect. The startup process also should have invoked the deadlock detector if necessary. To fix this bug, this commit makes the startup process invoke the deadlock detector if deadlock_timeout is reached while handling the recovery conflict on lock. Specifically, in that case, the startup process requests all the backends holding the conflicting locks to check themselves for deadlocks. Back-patch to v9.6. v9.5 has also this bug, but per discussion we decided not to back-patch the fix to v9.5. Because v9.5 doesn't have some infrastructure codes (e.g., 37c54863cf) that this bug fix patch depends on. We can apply those codes for the back-patch, but since the next minor version release is the final one for v9.5, it's risky to do that. If we unexpectedly introduce new bug to v9.5 by the back-patch, there is no chance to fix that. We determined that the back-patch to v9.5 would give more risk than gain.

* Fix integer-overflow corner cases in substring() functions.Tom Lane2021-01-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the substring start index and length overflow when added together, substring() misbehaved, either throwing a bogus "negative substring length" error on a case that should succeed, or failing to complain that a negative length is negative (and instead returning the whole string, in most cases). Unsurprisingly, the text, bytea, and bit variants of the function all had this issue. Rearrange the logic to ensure that negative lengths are always rejected, and add an overflow check to handle the other case. Also install similar guards into detoast_attr_slice() (nee heap_tuple_untoast_attr_slice()), since it's far from clear that no other code paths leading to that function could pass it values that would overflow. Patch by myself and Pavel Stehule, per bug #16804 from Rafi Shamim. Back-patch to v11. While these bugs are old, the common/int.h infrastructure for overflow-detecting arithmetic didn't exist before commit 4d6ad3125, and it doesn't seem like these misbehaviors are bad enough to justify developing a standalone fix for the older branches.

* Fix index deletion latestRemovedXid bug.Peter Geoghegan2020-12-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The logic for determining the latest removed XID for the purposes of generating recovery conflicts in REDO routines was subtly broken. It failed to follow links from HOT chains, and so failed to consider all relevant heap tuple headers in some cases. To fix, expand the loop that deals with LP_REDIRECT line pointers to also deal with HOT chains. The new version of the loop is loosely based on a similar loop from heap_prune_chain(). The impact of this bug is probably quite limited, since the horizon code necessarily deals with heap tuples that are pointed to by LP_DEAD-set index tuples. The process of setting LP_DEAD index tuples (e.g. within the kill_prior_tuple mechanism) is highly correlated with opportunistic pruning of pointed-to heap tuples. Plus the question of generating a recovery conflict usually comes up some time after index tuple LP_DEAD bits were initially set, unlike heap pruning, where a latestRemovedXid is generated at the point of the pruning operation (heap pruning has no deferred "would-be page split" style processing that produces conflicts lazily). Only backpatch to Postgres 12, the first version where this logic runs during original execution (following commit 558a9165e08). The index latestRemovedXid mechanism has had the same bug since it first appeared over 10 years ago (in commit a760893d), but backpatching to all supported versions now seems like a bad idea on balance. Running the new improved code during recovery seems risky, especially given the lack of complaints from the field.

* Fix up usage of krb_server_keyfile GUC parameter.Tom Lane2020-12-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | secure_open_gssapi() installed the krb_server_keyfile setting as KRB5_KTNAME unconditionally, so long as it's not empty. However, pg_GSS_recvauth() only installed it if KRB5_KTNAME wasn't set already, leading to a troubling inconsistency: in theory, clients could see different sets of server principal names depending on whether they use GSSAPI encryption. Always using krb_server_keyfile seems like the right thing, so make both places do that. Also fix up secure_open_gssapi()'s lack of a check for setenv() failure --- it's unlikely, surely, but security-critical actions are no place to be sloppy. Also improve the associated documentation. This patch does nothing about secure_open_gssapi()'s use of setenv(), and indeed causes pg_GSS_recvauth() to use it too. That's nominally against project portability rules, but since this code is only built with --with-gssapi, I do not feel a need to do something about this in the back branches. A fix will be forthcoming for HEAD though. Back-patch to v12 where GSSAPI encryption was introduced.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Unrecoverable errors detected by GSSAPI encryption can't just be reported with elog(ERROR) or elog(FATAL), because attempting to send the error report to the client is likely to lead to infinite recursion or loss of protocol sync. Instead make this code do what the SSL encryption code has long done, which is to just report any such failure to the server log (with elevel COMMERROR), then pretend we've lost the connection by returning errno = ECONNRESET. Along the way, fix confusion about whether message translation is done by pg_GSS_error() or its callers (the latter should do it), and make the backend version of that function work more like the frontend version. Avoid allocating the port->gss struct until it's needed; we surely don't need to allocate it in the postmaster. Improve logging of "connection authorized" messages with GSS enabled. (As part of this, I back-patched the code changes from dc11f31a1.) Make BackendStatusShmemSize() account for the GSS-related space that will be allocated by CreateSharedBackendStatus().

* Fix bugs in libpq's GSSAPI encryption support.Tom Lane2020-12-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The critical issue fixed here is that if a GSSAPI-encrypted connection is successfully made, pqsecure_open_gss() cleared conn->allow_ssl_try, as an admittedly-hacky way of preventing us from then trying to tunnel SSL encryption over the already-encrypted connection. The problem with that is that if we abandon the GSSAPI connection because of a failure during authentication, we would not attempt SSL encryption in the next try with the same server. This can lead to unexpected connection failure, or silently getting a non-encrypted connection where an encrypted one is expected. Fortunately, we'd only manage to make a GSSAPI-encrypted connection if both client and server hold valid tickets in the same Kerberos infrastructure, which is a relatively uncommon environment. Nonetheless this is a very nasty bug with potential security consequences. To fix, don't reset the flag, instead adding a check for conn->gssenc being already true when deciding whether to try to initiate SSL. While here, fix some lesser issues in libpq's GSSAPI code: * Use the need_new_connection stanza when dropping an attempted GSSAPI connection, instead of partially duplicating that code. The consequences of this are pretty minor: AFAICS it could only lead to auth_req_received or password_needed remaining set when they shouldn't, which is not too harmful. * Fix pg_GSS_error() to not repeat the "mprefix" it's given multiple times, and to notice any failure return from gss_display_status(). * Avoid gratuitous dependency on NI_MAXHOST in pg_GSS_load_servicename().

| | | | | | | | | | | | The code in charge of processing a single invalidation message has been using since 568d413 the structure for relation mapping messages. This had fortunately no consequence as both locate the database ID at the same location, but it could become a problem in the future if this area of the code changes.

* postgres_fdw: Fix connection leak.Fujii Masao2020-12-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In postgres_fdw, the cached connections to foreign servers will not be closed until the local session exits if the user mappings or foreign servers that those connections depend on are dropped. Those connections can be leaked. To fix that connection leak issue, after a change to a pg_foreign_server or pg_user_mapping catalog entry, this commit makes postgres_fdw close the connections depending on that entry immediately if current transaction has not used those connections yet. Otherwise, mark those connections as invalid and then close them at the end of current transaction, since they cannot be closed in the midst of the transaction using them. Closed connections will be remade at the next opportunity if necessary. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* Avoid time-of-day-dependent failure in log rotation test.Tom Lane2020-12-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Buildfarm members pogona and petalura have shown a failure when pg_ctl/t/004_logrotate.pl starts just before local midnight. The default rotate-at-midnight behavior occurs just before the Perl script examines current_logfiles, so it figures that the rotation it's already requested has occurred ... but in reality, that rotation happens just after it looks, so the expected new log data goes into a different file than the one it's examining. In HEAD, src/test/kerberos/t/001_auth.pl has acquired similar code that evidently has a related failure mode. Besides being quite new, few buildfarm critters run that test, so it's unsurprising that we've not yet seen a failure there. Fix both cases by setting log_rotation_age = 0 so that no time-based rotation can occur. Also absorb 004_logrotate.pl's decision to set lc_messages = 'C' into the kerberos test, in hopes that it will work in non-English prevailing locales.

* Fix race condition between shutdown and unstarted background workers.Tom Lane2020-12-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a database shutdown (smart or fast) is commanded between the time some process decides to request a new background worker and the time that the postmaster can launch that worker, then nothing happens because the postmaster won't launch any bgworkers once it's exited PM_RUN state. This is fine ... unless the requesting process is waiting for that worker to finish (or even for it to start); in that case the requestor is stuck, and only manual intervention will get us to the point of being able to shut down. To fix, cancel pending requests for workers when the postmaster sends shutdown (SIGTERM) signals, and similarly cancel any new requests that arrive after that point. (We can optimize things slightly by only doing the cancellation for workers that have waiters.) To fit within the existing bgworker APIs, the "cancel" is made to look like the worker was started and immediately stopped, causing deregistration of the bgworker entry. Waiting processes would have to deal with premature worker exit anyway, so this should introduce no bugs that weren't there before. We do have a side effect that registration records for restartable bgworkers might disappear when theoretically they should have remained in place; but since we're shutting down, that shouldn't matter. Back-patch to v10. There might be value in putting this into 9.6 as well, but the management of bgworkers is a bit different there (notably see 8ff518699) and I'm not convinced it's worth the effort to validate the patch for that branch.

* Fix portability issues with parsing of recovery_target_xidMichael Paquier2020-12-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The parsing of this parameter has been using strtoul(), which is not portable across platforms. On most Unix platforms, unsigned long has a size of 64 bits, while on Windows it is 32 bits. It is common in recovery scenarios to rely on the output of txid_current() or even the newer pg_current_xact_id() to get a transaction ID for setting up recovery_target_xid. The value returned by those functions includes the epoch in the computed result, which would cause strtoul() to fail where unsigned long has a size of 32 bits once the epoch is incremented. WAL records and 2PC data include only information about 32-bit XIDs and it is not possible to have XIDs across more than one epoch, so discarding the high bits from the transaction ID set has no impact on recovery. On the contrary, the use of strtoul() prevents a consistent behavior across platforms depending on the size of unsigned long. This commit changes the parsing of recovery_target_xid to use pg_strtouint64() instead, available down to 9.6. There is one TAP test stressing recovery with recovery_target_xid, where a tweak based on pg_reset{xlog,wal} is added to bump the XID epoch so as this change gets tested, as per an idea from Alexander Lakhin.

* Improve autoprewarm's handling of early-shutdown scenarios.Tom Lane2020-12-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bad things happen if the DBA issues "pg_ctl stop -m fast" before autoprewarm finishes loading its list of blocks to prewarm. The current worker process successfully terminates early, but (if this wasn't the last database with blocks to prewarm) the leader process will just try to launch another worker for the next database. Since the postmaster is now in PM_WAIT_BACKENDS state, it ignores the launch request, and the leader just sits until it's killed manually. This is mostly the fault of our half-baked design for launching background workers, but a proper fix for that is likely to be too invasive to be back-patchable. To ameliorate the situation, fix apw_load_buffers() to check whether SIGTERM has arrived just before trying to launch another worker. That leaves us with only a very narrow window in each worker launch where SIGTERM could occur between the launch request and successful worker start. Another issue is that if the leader process does manage to exit, it unconditionally rewrites autoprewarm.blocks with only the blocks currently in shared buffers, thus forgetting any blocks that we hadn't reached yet while prewarming. This seems quite unhelpful, since the next database start will then not have the expected prewarming benefit. Fix it to not modify the file if we shut down before the initial load attempt is complete. Per bug #16785 from John Thompson. Back-patch to v11 where the autoprewarm code was introduced.

* Remove "invalid concatenation of jsonb objects" error case.Tom Lane2020-12-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The jsonb || jsonb operator arbitrarily rejected certain combinations of scalar and non-scalar inputs, while being willing to concatenate other combinations. This was of course quite undocumented. Rather than trying to document it, let's just remove the restriction, creating a uniform rule that unless we are handling an object-to-object concatenation, non-array inputs are converted to one-element arrays, resulting in an array-to-array concatenation. (This does not change the behavior for any case that didn't throw an error before.) Per complaint from Joel Jacobson. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* 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.
