* Document autoanalyze limitations for partitioned tablesTomas Vondra2022-03-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When dealing with partitioned tables, counters for partitioned tables are not updated when modifying child tables. This means autoanalyze may not update optimizer statistics for the parent relations, which can result in poor plans for some queries. It's worth documenting this limitation, so that people are aware of it and can take steps to mitigate it (e.g. by setting up a script executing ANALYZE regularly). Backpatch to v10. Older branches are affected too, of couse, but we no longer maintain those.

* pageinspect: Add more sanity checks to prevent out-of-bound readsMichael Paquier2022-03-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A couple of code paths use the special area on the page passed by the function caller, expecting to find some data in it. However, feeding an incorrect page can lead to out-of-bound reads when trying to access the page special area (like a heap page that has no special area, leading PageGetSpecialPointer() to grab a pointer outside the allocated page). The functions used for hash and btree indexes have some protection already against that, while some other functions using a relation OID as argument would make sure that the access method involved is correct, but functions taking in input a raw page without knowing the relation the page is attached to would run into problems. This commit improves the set of checks used in the code paths of BRIN, btree (including one check if a leaf page is found with a non-zero level), GIN and GiST to verify that the page given in input has a special area size that fits with each access method, which is done though PageGetSpecialSize(), becore calling PageGetSpecialPointer(). The scope of the checks done is limited to work with pages that one would pass after getting a block with get_raw_page(), as it is possible to craft byteas that could bypass existing code paths. Having too many checks would also impact the usability of pageinspect, as the existing code is very useful to look at the content details in a corrupted page, so the focus is really to avoid out-of-bound reads as this is never a good thing even with functions whose execution is limited to superusers. The safest approach could be to rework the functions so as these fetch a block using a relation OID and a block number, but there are also cases where using a raw page is useful. Tests are added to cover all the code paths that needed such checks, and an error message for hash indexes is reworded to fit better with what this commit adds.

* Suppress compiler warning in relptr_store().Tom Lane2022-03-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | clang 13 with -Wextra warns that "performing pointer subtraction with a null pointer has undefined behavior" in the places where freepage.c tries to set a relptr variable to constant NULL. This appears to be a compiler bug, but it's unlikely to get fixed instantly. Fortunately, we can work around it by introducing an inline support function, which seems like a good change anyway because it removes the macro's existing double-evaluation hazard. Backpatch to v10 where this code was introduced. Patch by me, based on an idea of Andres Freund's. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/48826.1648310694@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Harden TAP tests that intentionally corrupt page checksums.Tom Lane2022-03-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The previous method for doing that was to write zeroes into a predetermined set of page locations. However, there's a roughly 1-in-64K chance that the existing checksum will match by chance, and yesterday several buildfarm animals started to reproducibly see that, resulting in test failures because no checksum mismatch was reported. Since the checksum includes the page LSN, test success depends on the length of the installation's WAL history, which is affected by (at least) the initial catalog contents, the set of locales installed on the system, and the length of the pathname of the test directory. Sooner or later we were going to hit a chance match, and today is that day. Harden these tests by specifically inverting the checksum field and leaving all else alone, thereby guaranteeing that the checksum is incorrect. In passing, fix places that were using seek() to set up for syswrite(), a combination that the Perl docs very explicitly warn against. We've probably escaped problems because no regular buffered I/O is done on these filehandles; but if it ever breaks, we wouldn't deserve or get much sympathy. Although we've only seen problems in HEAD, now that we recognize the environmental dependencies it seems like it might be just a matter of time until someone manages to hit this in back-branch testing. Hence, back-patch to v11 where we started doing this kind of test. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/3192026.1648185780@sss.pgh.pa.us

* Fix failures in SSL tests caused by out-of-tree keys and certificatesMichael Paquier2022-03-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This issue is environment-sensitive, where the SSL tests could fail in various way by feeding on defaults provided by sslcert, sslkey, sslrootkey, sslrootcert, sslcrl and sslcrldir coming from a local setup, as of ~/.postgresql/ by default. Horiguchi-san has reported two failures, but more advanced testing from me (aka inclusion of garbage SSL configuration in ~/.postgresql/ for all the configuration parameters) has showed dozens of failures that can be triggered in the whole test suite. History has showed that we are not good when it comes to address such issues, fixing them locally like in dd87799, and such problems keep appearing. This commit strengthens the entire test suite to put an end to this set of problems by embedding invalid default values in all the connection strings used in the tests. The invalid values are prefixed in each connection string, relying on the follow-up values passed in the connection string to enforce any invalid value previously set. Note that two tests related to CRLs are required to fail with certain pre-set configurations, but we can rely on enforcing an empty value instead after the invalid set of values.

* Fix assorted missing logic for GroupingFunc nodes.Tom Lane2022-03-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The planner needs to treat GroupingFunc like Aggref for many purposes, in particular with respect to processing of the argument expressions, which are not to be evaluated at runtime. A few places hadn't gotten that memo, notably including subselect.c's processing of outer-level aggregates. This resulted in assertion failures or wrong plans for cases in which a GROUPING() construct references an outer aggregation level. Also fix missing special cases for GroupingFunc in cost_qual_eval (resulting in wrong cost estimates for GROUPING(), although it's not clear that that would affect plan shapes in practice) and in ruleutils.c (resulting in excess parentheses in pretty-print mode).

* Fix risk of deadlock failure while dropping a partitioned index.Tom Lane2022-03-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | DROP INDEX needs to lock the index's table before the index itself, else it will deadlock against ordinary queries that acquire the relation locks in that order. This is correctly mechanized for plain indexes by RangeVarCallbackForDropRelation; but in the case of a partitioned index, we neglected to lock the child tables in advance of locking the child indexes. We can fix that by traversing the inheritance tree and acquiring the needed locks in RemoveRelations, after we have acquired our locks on the parent partitioned table and index. While at it, do some refactoring to eliminate confusion between the actual and expected relkind in RangeVarCallbackForDropRelation. We can save a couple of syscache lookups too, by having that function pass back info that RemoveRelations will need. Back-patch to v11 where partitioned indexes were added.

* Revert applying column aliases to the output of whole-row Vars.Tom Lane2022-03-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In commit bf7ca1587, I had the bright idea that we could make the result of a whole-row Var (that is, foo.*) track any column aliases that had been applied to the FROM entry the Var refers to. However, that's not terribly logically consistent, because now the output of the Var is no longer of the named composite type that the Var claims to emit. bf7ca1587 tried to handle that by changing the output tuple values to be labeled with a blessed RECORD type, but that's really pretty disastrous: we can wind up storing such tuples onto disk, whereupon they're not readable by other sessions. The only practical fix I can see is to give up on what bf7ca1587 tried to do, and say that the column names of tuples produced by a whole-row Var are always those of the underlying named composite type, query aliases or no. While this introduces some inconsistencies, it removes others, so it's not that awful in the abstract. What *is* kind of awful is to make such a behavioral change in a back-patched bug fix. But corrupt data is worse, so back-patched it will be. (A workaround available to anyone who's unhappy about this is to introduce an extra level of sub-SELECT, so that the whole-row Var is referring to the sub-SELECT's output and not to a named table type. Then the Var is of type RECORD to begin with and there's no issue.) Per report from Miles Delahunty. The faulty commit dates to 9.5, so back-patch to all supported branches.

* Fix race between DROP TABLESPACE and checkpointing.Thomas Munro2022-03-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commands like ALTER TABLE SET TABLESPACE may leave files for the next checkpoint to clean up. If such files are not removed by the time DROP TABLESPACE is called, we request a checkpoint so that they are deleted. However, there is presently a window before checkpoint start where new unlink requests won't be scheduled until the following checkpoint. This means that the checkpoint forced by DROP TABLESPACE might not remove the files we expect it to remove, and the following ERROR will be emitted: ERROR: tablespace "mytblspc" is not empty To fix, add a call to AbsorbSyncRequests() just before advancing the unlink cycle counter. This ensures that any unlink requests forwarded prior to checkpoint start (i.e., when ckpt_started is incremented) will be processed by the current checkpoint. Since AbsorbSyncRequests() performs memory allocations, it cannot be called within a critical section, so we also need to move SyncPreCheckpoint() to before CreateCheckPoint()'s critical section. This is an old bug, so back-patch to all supported versions.

* pageinspect: Fix handling of page sizes and AM typesMichael Paquier2022-03-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit fixes a set of issues related to the use of the SQL functions in this module when the caller is able to pass down raw page data as input argument: - The page size check was fuzzy in a couple of places, sometimes looking after only a sub-range, but what we are looking for is an exact match on BLCKSZ. After considering a few options here, I have settled down to do a generalization of get_page_from_raw(). Most of the SQL functions already used that, and this is not strictly required if not accessing an 8-byte-wide value from a raw page, but this feels safer in the long run for alignment-picky environment, particularly if a code path begins to access such values. This also reduces the number of strings that need to be translated. - The BRIN function brin_page_items() uses a Relation but it did not check the access method of the opened index, potentially leading to crashes. All the other functions in need of a Relation already did that. - Some code paths could fail on elog(), but we should to use ereport() for failures that can be triggered by the user. Tests are added to stress all the cases that are fixed as of this commit, with some junk raw pages (\set VERBOSITY ensures that this works across all page sizes) and unexpected index types when functions open relations.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This macro cast the result to BlockNumber after shifting, not before, which is the wrong thing. Per the C spec, the uint16 fields would promote to int not unsigned int, so that (for 32-bit int) the shift potentially shifts a nonzero bit into the sign position. I doubt there are any production systems where this would actually end with the wrong answer, but it is undefined behavior per the C spec, and clang's -fsanitize=undefined option reputedly warns about it on some platforms.

* Disallow execution of SPI functions during plperl function compilation.Tom Lane2022-02-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Perl can be convinced to execute user-defined code during compilation of a plperl function (or at least a plperlu function). That's not such a big problem as long as the activity is confined within the Perl interpreter, and it's not clear we could do anything about that anyway. However, if such code tries to use plperl's SPI functions, we have a bigger problem. In the first place, those functions are likely to crash because current_call_data->prodesc isn't set up yet. In the second place, because it isn't set up, we lack critical info such as whether the function is supposed to be read-only. And in the third place, this path allows code execution during function validation, which is strongly discouraged because of the potential for security exploits. Hence, reject execution of the SPI functions until compilation is finished. While here, add check_spi_usage_allowed() calls to various functions that hadn't gotten the memo about checking that. I think that perhaps plperl_sv_to_literal may have been intentionally omitted on the grounds that it was safe at the time; but if so, the addition of transforms functionality changed that. The others are more recently added and seem to be flat-out oversights. Per report from Mark Murawski. Back-patch to all supported branches.

| | | | | | | | | | When opening a WAL file smaller than XLOG_BLCKSZ (e.g. 0 bytes long) while determining the wal_segment_size, pg_waldump checked errno, despite errno not being set by the short read. Resulting in a bogus error message.

* Fix temporary object cleanup failing due to toast access without snapshot.Andres Freund2022-02-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When cleaning up temporary objects during process exit the cleanup could fail with: FATAL: cannot fetch toast data without an active snapshot The bug is caused by RemoveTempRelationsCallback() not setting up a snapshot. If an object with toasted catalog data needs to be cleaned up, init_toast_snapshot() could fail with the above error. Most of the time however the the problem is masked due to cached catalog snapshots being returned by GetOldestSnapshot(). But dropping an object can cause catalog invalidations to be emitted. If no further catalog accesses are necessary between the invalidation processing and the next toast datum deletion, the bug becomes visible. It's easy to miss this bug because it typically happens after clients disconnect and the FATAL error just ends up in the log. Luckily temporary table cleanup at the next use of the same temporary schema or during DISCARD ALL does not have the same problem. Fix the bug by pushing a snapshot in RemoveTempRelationsCallback(). Also add isolation tests for temporary object cleanup, including objects with toasted catalog data. A future HEAD only commit will add more assertions.

* Suppress warning about stack_base_ptr with late-model GCC.Tom Lane2022-02-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | GCC 12 complains that set_stack_base is storing the address of a local variable in a long-lived pointer. This is an entirely reasonable warning (indeed, it just helped us find a bug); but that behavior is intentional here. We can work around it by using __builtin_frame_address(0) instead of a specific local variable; that produces an address a dozen or so bytes different, in my testing, but we don't care about such a small difference. Maybe someday a compiler lacking that function will start to issue a similar warning, but we'll worry about that when it happens. Patch by me, per a suggestion from Andres Freund. Back-patch to v12, which is as far back as the patch will go without some pain. (Recently-established project policy would permit a back-patch as far as 9.2, but I'm disinclined to expend the work until GCC 12 is much more widespread.)

* Improve subscriber's error message for wrong publication relkind.Tom Lane2022-02-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Pre-v13 versions only support logical replication from plain tables, while v13 and later also allow partitioned tables to be published. If you tried to subscribe an older server to such a publication, you got "table XXX not found on publisher", which is pretty unhelpful/confusing. Arrange to deliver a more on-point error message. As commit c314c147c did in v13, remove the relkind check from the query WHERE clause altogether, so that "not there" is distinguishable from "wrong relkind". Per report from Radoslav Nedyalkov. Patch v10-v12. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/2952568.1644876730@sss.pgh.pa.us
* WAL log unchanged toasted replica identity key attributes.Amit Kapila2022-02-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, during UPDATE, the unchanged replica identity key attributes are not logged separately because they are getting logged as part of the new tuple. But if they are stored externally then the untoasted values are not getting logged as part of the new tuple and logical replication won't be able to replicate such UPDATEs. So we need to log such attributes as part of the old_key_tuple during UPDATE.

* Fix thinko in PQisBusy().Tom Lane2022-02-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In commit 1f39a1c06 I made PQisBusy consider conn->write_failed, but that is now looking like complete brain fade. In the first place, the logic is quite wrong: it ought to be like "and not" rather than "or". This meant that once we'd gotten into a write_failed state, PQisBusy would always return true, probably causing the calling application to iterate its loop until PQconsumeInput returns a hard failure thanks to connection loss. That's not what we want: the intended behavior is to return an error PGresult, which the application probably has much cleaner support for. But in the second place, checking write_failed here seems like the wrong thing anyway. The idea of the write_failed mechanism is to postpone handling of a write failure until we've read all we can from the server; so that flag should not interfere with input-processing behavior. (Compare 7247e243a.) What we *should* check for is status = CONNECTION_BAD, ie, socket already closed. (Most places that close the socket don't touch asyncStatus, but they do reset status.) This primarily ensures that if PQisBusy() returns true then there is an open socket, which is assumed by several call sites in our own code, and probably other applications too. While at it, fix a nearby thinko in libpq's my_sock_write: we should only consult errno for res < 0, not res == 0. This is harmless since pqsecure_raw_write would force errno to zero in such a case, but it still could confuse readers. Noted by Andres Freund. Backpatch to v12 where 1f39a1c06 came in.

* Don't use_physical_tlist for an IOS with non-returnable columns.Tom Lane2022-02-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | createplan.c tries to save a runtime projection step by specifying a scan plan node's output as being exactly the table's columns, or index's columns in the case of an index-only scan, if there is not a reason to do otherwise. This logic did not previously pay attention to whether an index's columns are returnable. That worked, sort of accidentally, until commit 9a3ddeb51 taught setrefs.c to reject plans that try to read a non-returnable column. I have no desire to loosen setrefs.c's new check, so instead adjust use_physical_tlist() to not try to optimize this way when there are non-returnable column(s). Per report from Ryan Kelly. Like the previous patch, back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAHUie24ddN+pDNw7fkhNrjrwAX=fXXfGZZEHhRuofV_N_ftaSg@mail.gmail.com
* Make pg_ctl stop/restart/promote recheck postmaster aliveness.Tom Lane2022-02-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "pg_ctl stop/restart" checked that the postmaster PID is valid just once, as a side-effect of sending the stop signal, and then would wait-till-timeout for the postmaster.pid file to go away. This neglects the case wherein the postmaster dies uncleanly after we signal it. Similarly, once "pg_ctl promote" has sent the signal, it'd wait for the corresponding on-disk state change to occur even if the postmaster dies. I'm not sure how we've managed not to notice this problem, but it seems to explain slow execution of the 017_shm.pl test script on AIX since commit 4fdbf9af5, which added a speculative "pg_ctl stop" with the idea of making real sure that the postmaster isn't there. In the test steps that kill-9 and then restart the postmaster, it's possible to get past the initial signal attempt before kill() stops working for the doomed postmaster. If that happens, pg_ctl waited till PGCTLTIMEOUT before giving up ... and the buildfarm's AIX members have that set very high. To fix, include a "kill(pid, 0)" test (similar to what postmaster_is_alive uses) in these wait loops, so that we'll give up immediately if the postmaster PID disappears. While here, I chose to refactor those loops out of where they were. do_stop() and do_restart() can perfectly well share one copy of the wait-for-stop loop, and it seems desirable to put a similar function beside that for wait-for-promote. Back-patch to all supported versions, since pg_ctl's wait logic is substantially identical in all, and we're seeing the slow test behavior in all branches.

* Remove ppport.h's broken re-implementation of eval_pv().Tom Lane2022-02-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Recent versions of Devel::PPPort try to redefine eval_pv() to dodge a bug in pre-5.31 Perl versions. Unfortunately the redefinition fails on compilers that don't support statements nested within expressions. However, we aren't actually interested in this bug fix, since we always call eval_pv() with croak_on_error = FALSE. So, until there's an upstream fix for this breakage, just comment out the macro to revert to the older behavior. Per report from Wei Sun, as well as previous buildfarm failure on pademelon (which I'd unfortunately not looked at carefully enough to understand the cause). Back-patch to all supported versions, since we're using the same ppport.h in all.
