* Improve TranslateSocketError() to handle more Windows error codes.Tom Lane2016-04-21
| | | | | | The coverage was rather lean for cases that bind() or listen() might return. Add entries for everything that there's a direct equivalent for in the set of Unix errnos that elog.c has heard of.
* Provide errno-translation wrappers around bind() and listen() on Windows.Tom Lane2016-04-21
| | | | | | | | | Fix Windows builds to report something useful rather than "could not bind IPv4 socket: No error" when bind() fails. Back-patch of commits d1b7d4877b9a71f4 and 22989a8e34168f57. Discussion: <4065.1452450340@sss.pgh.pa.us>
* Fix latent portability issue in pgwin32_dispatch_queued_signals().Tom Lane2016-04-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The first iteration of the signal-checking loop would compute sigmask(0) which expands to 1<<(-1) which is undefined behavior according to the C standard. The lack of field reports of trouble suggest that it evaluates to 0 on all existing Windows compilers, but that's hardly something to rely on. Since signal 0 isn't a queueable signal anyway, we can just make the loop iterate from 1 instead, and save a few cycles as well as avoiding the undefined behavior. In passing, avoid evaluating the volatile expression UNBLOCKED_SIGNAL_QUEUE twice in a row; there's no reason to waste cycles like that. Noted by Aleksander Alekseev, though this isn't his proposed fix. Back-patch to all supported branches.
* Avoid possibly-unsafe use of Windows' FormatMessage() function.Tom Lane2016-03-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | Whenever this function is used with the FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_SYSTEM flag, it's good practice to include FORMAT_MESSAGE_IGNORE_INSERTS as well. Otherwise, if the message contains any %n insertion markers, the function will try to fetch argument strings to substitute --- which we are not passing, possibly leading to a crash. This is exactly analogous to the rule about not giving printf() a format string you're not in control of. Noted and patched by Christian Ullrich. Back-patch to all supported branches.
* Fix treatment of *lpNumberOfBytesRecvd == 0: that's a completion condition.Tom Lane2016-01-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | pgwin32_recv() has treated a non-error return of zero bytes from WSARecv() as being a reason to block ever since the current implementation was introduced in commit a4c40f140d23cefb. However, so far as one can tell from Microsoft's documentation, that is just wrong: what it means is graceful connection closure (in stream protocols) or receipt of a zero-length message (in message protocols), and neither case should result in blocking here. The only reason the code worked at all was that control then fell into the retry loop, which did *not* treat zero bytes specially, so we'd get out after only wasting some cycles. But as of 9.5 we do not normally reach the retry loop and so the bug is exposed, as reported by Shay Rojansky and diagnosed by Andres Freund. Remove the unnecessary test on the byte count, and rearrange the code in the retry loop so that it looks identical to the initial sequence. Back-patch of commit 90e61df8130dc7051a108ada1219fb0680cb3eb6. The original plan was to apply this only to 9.5 and up, but after discussion and buildfarm testing, it seems better to back-patch. The noblock code path has been at risk of this problem since it was introduced (in 9.0); if it did happen in pre-9.5 branches, the symptom would be that a walsender would wait indefinitely rather than noticing a loss of connection. While we lack proof that the case has been seen in the field, it seems possible that it's happened without being reported.
* On Windows, ensure shared memory handle gets closed if not being used.Tom Lane2015-10-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Postmaster child processes that aren't supposed to be attached to shared memory were not bothering to close the shared memory mapping handle they inherit from the postmaster process. That's mostly harmless, since the handle vanishes anyway when the child process exits -- but the syslogger process, if used, doesn't get killed and restarted during recovery from a backend crash. That meant that Windows doesn't see the shared memory mapping as becoming free, so it doesn't delete it and the postmaster is unable to create a new one, resulting in failure to recover from crashes whenever logging_collector is turned on. Per report from Dmitry Vasilyev. It's a bit astonishing that we'd not figured this out long ago, since it's been broken from the very beginnings of out native Windows support; probably some previously-unexplained trouble reports trace to this. A secondary problem is that on Cygwin (perhaps only in older versions?), exec() may not detach from the shared memory segment after all, in which case these child processes did remain attached to shared memory, posing the risk of an unexpected shared memory clobber if they went off the rails somehow. That may be a long-gone bug, but we can deal with it now if it's still live, by detaching within the infrastructure introduced here to deal with closing the handle. Back-patch to all supported branches. Tom Lane and Amit Kapila
* Fix spinlock implementation for some !solaris sparc platforms.Andres Freund2014-09-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some Sparc CPUs can be run in various coherence models, ranging from RMO (relaxed) over PSO (partial) to TSO (total). Solaris has always run CPUs in TSO mode while in userland, but linux didn't use to and the various *BSDs still don't. Unfortunately the sparc TAS/S_UNLOCK were only correct under TSO. Fix that by adding the necessary memory barrier instructions. On sparcv8+, which should be all relevant CPUs, these are treated as NOPs if the current consistency model doesn't require the barriers. Discussion: 20140630222854.GW26930@awork2.anarazel.de Will be backpatched to all released branches once a few buildfarm cycles haven't shown up problems. As I've no access to sparc, this is blindly written.
* Remove tabs after spaces in C commentsBruce Momjian2014-05-06
| | | | | | | | | This was not changed in HEAD, but will be done later as part of a pgindent run. Future pgindent runs will also do this. Report by Tom Lane Backpatch through all supported branches, but not HEAD
* Use AF_UNSPEC not PF_UNSPEC in getaddrinfo calls.Tom Lane2014-04-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | According to the Single Unix Spec and assorted man pages, you're supposed to use the constants named AF_xxx when setting ai_family for a getaddrinfo call. In a few places we were using PF_xxx instead. Use of PF_xxx appears to be an ancient BSD convention that was not adopted by later standardization. On BSD and most later Unixen, it doesn't matter much because those constants have equivalent values anyway; but nonetheless this code is not per spec. In the same vein, replace PF_INET by AF_INET in one socket() call, which wasn't even consistent with the other socket() call in the same function let alone the remainder of our code. Per investigation of a Cygwin trouble report from Marco Atzeri. It's probably a long shot that this will fix his issue, but it's wrong in any case.
* check socket creation errors against PGINVALID_SOCKETBruce Momjian2014-04-16
| | | | | | | | Previously, in some places, socket creation errors were checked for negative values, which is not true for Windows because sockets are unsigned. This masked socket creation errors on Windows. Backpatch through 9.0. 8.4 doesn't have the infrastructure to fix this.
* Fix unsafe references to errno within error messaging logic.Tom Lane2014-01-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Various places were supposing that errno could be expected to hold still within an ereport() nest or similar contexts. This isn't true necessarily, though in some cases it accidentally failed to fail depending on how the compiler chanced to order the subexpressions. This class of thinko explains recent reports of odd failures on clang-built versions, typically missing or inappropriate HINT fields in messages. Problem identified by Christian Kruse, who also submitted the patch this commit is based on. (I fixed a few issues in his patch and found a couple of additional places with the same disease.) Back-patch as appropriate to all supported branches.
* Split up process latch initialization for more-fail-soft behavior.Tom Lane2012-10-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the previous coding, new backend processes would attempt to create their self-pipe during the OwnLatch call in InitProcess. However, pipe creation could fail if the kernel is short of resources; and the system does not recover gracefully from a FATAL error right there, since we have armed the dead-man switch for this process and not yet set up the on_shmem_exit callback that would disarm it. The postmaster then forces an unnecessary database-wide crash and restart, as reported by Sean Chittenden. There are various ways we could rearrange the code to fix this, but the simplest and sanest seems to be to split out creation of the self-pipe into a new function InitializeLatchSupport, which must be called from a place where failure is allowed. For most processes that gets called in InitProcess or InitAuxiliaryProcess, but processes that don't call either but still use latches need their own calls. Back-patch to 9.1, which has only a part of the latch logic that 9.2 and HEAD have, but nonetheless includes this bug.
* Back-patch fixes for some issues in our Windows socket code into 9.1.Robert Haas2012-08-27
| | | | | | This is a backport of commit b85427f2276d02756b558c0024949305ea65aca5. Per discussion of bug #4958. Some of these fixes probably need to be back-patched further, but I'm just doing this much for now.
* Fix Windows implementation of PGSemaphoreLock.Tom Lane2012-05-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The original coding failed to reset ImmediateInterruptOK before returning, which would potentially allow a subsequent query-cancel interrupt to be accepted at an unsafe point. This is a really nasty bug since it's so hard to predict the consequences, but they could be unpleasant. Also, ensure that signal handlers are serviced before this function returns, even if the semaphore is already set. This should make the behavior more like Unix. Back-patch to all supported versions.
* Back-patch assorted latch-related fixes.Tom Lane2011-08-10
| | | | | | | | | | Fix a whole bunch of signal handlers that had been hacked to do things that might change errno, without adding the necessary save/restore logic for errno. Also make some minor fixes in unix_latch.c, and clean up bizarre and unsafe scheme for disowning the process's latch. While at it, rename the PGPROC latch field to procLatch for consistency with 9.2. Issues noted while reviewing a patch by Peter Geoghegan.
* Measure WaitLatch's timeout parameter in milliseconds, not microseconds.Tom Lane2011-08-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | The original definition had the problem that timeouts exceeding about 2100 seconds couldn't be specified on 32-bit machines. Milliseconds seem like sufficient resolution, and finer grain than that would be fantasy anyway on many platforms. Back-patch to 9.1 so that this aspect of the latch API won't change between 9.1 and later releases. Peter Geoghegan
* Documentation improvement and minor code cleanups for the latch facility.Tom Lane2011-08-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Improve the documentation around weak-memory-ordering risks, and do a pass of general editorialization on the comments in the latch code. Make the Windows latch code more like the Unix latch code where feasible; in particular provide the same Assert checks in both implementations. Fix poorly-placed WaitLatch call in syncrep.c. This patch resolves, for the moment, concerns around weak-memory-ordering bugs in latch-related code: we have documented the restrictions and checked that existing calls meet them. In 9.2 I hope that we will install suitable memory barrier instructions in SetLatch/ResetLatch, so that their callers don't need to be quite so careful.

* Consistent spacing for lengthy error messagesPeter Eisentraut2011-05-19
| | | | | | Also, we removed the display of the current value of max_connections/MaxBackends from some messages earlier, because it was confusing, so do that in the remaining one as well.

| | | | Mostly to do with macro redefinitions or object signedness.
* Silence a few compiler warnings from gcc on MinGW.Andrew Dunstan2011-04-23
| | | | | | | Most of these cast DWORD to int or unsigned int for printf type handling. This is safe even on 64 bit architectures because a DWORD is always 32 bits. In one case a variable is initialised to keep the compiler happy.

* Modernize dlopen interface code for FreeBSD and OpenBSD.Tom Lane2011-04-07
| | | | | | | | | | Remove the hard-wired assumption that __mips__ (and only __mips__) lacks dlopen in FreeBSD and OpenBSD. This assumption is outdated at least for OpenBSD, as per report from an anonymous 9.1 tester. We can perfectly well use HAVE_DLOPEN instead to decide which code to use. Some other cosmetic adjustments to make freebsd.c, netbsd.c, and openbsd.c exactly alike.

People complained about that in 9.0 too, but with synchronous replication it's even more important to notice dead connections promptly. Fujii Masao and Heikki Linnakangas

* Remove thread dumping constant that requires newer Platform SDKMagnus Hagander2010-12-19
| | | | | | | Since we're not multithreaded it only provides marginally useful information, and it does require a newer version of the Platform SDK than we target. We may want to reconsider this in the future along with a fix for MinGW.

| | | | | | | | | | Add support for collecting "minidump" style crash dumps on Windows, by setting up an exception handling filter. Crash dumps will be generated in PGDATA/crashdumps if the directory is created (the existance of the directory is used as on/off switch for the generation of the dumps).

* Introduce latches. A latch is a boolean variable, with the capability toHeikki Linnakangas2010-09-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | wait until it is set. Latches can be used to reliably wait until a signal arrives, which is hard otherwise because signals don't interrupt select() on some platforms, and even when they do, there's race conditions. On Unix, latches use the so called self-pipe trick under the covers to implement the sleep until the latch is set, without race conditions. On Windows, Windows events are used. Use the new latch abstraction to sleep in walsender, so that as soon as a transaction finishes, walsender is woken up to immediately send the WAL to the standby. This reduces the latency between master and standby, which is good. Preliminary work by Fujii Masao. The latch implementation is by me, with helpful comments from many people.
* Improve hint message for ENOMEM failure from shmget().Tom Lane2010-08-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | It turns out that some platforms return ENOMEM for a request that violates SHMALL, whereas we were assuming that ENOSPC would always be used for that. Apparently the latter is a Linuxism while ENOMEM is the BSD tradition. Extend the ENOMEM hint to suggest that raising SHMALL might be needed. Per gripe from A.M. Backpatch to 9.0, but not further, because this doesn't seem important enough to warrant creating extra translation work in the stable branches. (If it were, we'd have figured this out years ago.)

* Split the LDFLAGS make variable into two parts: LDFLAGS is now used forTom Lane2010-07-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | linking both executables and shared libraries, and we add on LDFLAGS_EX when linking executables or LDFLAGS_SL when linking shared libraries. This provides a significantly cleaner way of dealing with link-time switches than the former behavior. Also, make sure that the various platform-specific %.so: %.o rules incorporate LDFLAGS and LDFLAGS_SL; most of them missed that before. (I did not add these variables for the platforms that invoke $(LD) directly, however. It's not clear if we can do that safely, since for the most part we assume these variables use CC command-line syntax.) Per gripe from Aaron Swenson and subsequent investigation.
* Add code to InternalIpcMemoryCreate() to handle the case where shmget()Tom Lane2010-05-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | returns EINVAL for an existing shared memory segment. Although it's not terribly sensible, that behavior does meet the POSIX spec because EINVAL is the appropriate error code when the existing segment is smaller than the requested size, and the spec explicitly disclaims any particular ordering of error checks. Moreover, it does in fact happen on OS X and probably other BSD-derived kernels. (We were able to talk NetBSD into changing their code, but purging that behavior from the wild completely seems unlikely to happen.) We need to distinguish collision with a pre-existing segment from invalid size request in order to behave sensibly, so it's worth some extra code here to get it right. Per report from Gavin Kistner and subsequent investigation. Back-patch to all supported versions, since any of them could get used with a kernel having the debatable behavior.
