* Be more careful to not lose sync in the FE/BE protocol.Heikki Linnakangas2015-02-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If any error occurred while we were in the middle of reading a protocol message from the client, we could lose sync, and incorrectly try to interpret a part of another message as a new protocol message. That will usually lead to an "invalid frontend message" error that terminates the connection. However, this is a security issue because an attacker might be able to deliberately cause an error, inject a Query message in what's supposed to be just user data, and have the server execute it. We were quite careful to not have CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() calls or other operations that could ereport(ERROR) in the middle of processing a message, but a query cancel interrupt or statement timeout could nevertheless cause it to happen. Also, the V2 fastpath and COPY handling were not so careful. It's very difficult to recover in the V2 COPY protocol, so we will just terminate the connection on error. In practice, that's what happened previously anyway, as we lost protocol sync. To fix, add a new variable in pqcomm.c, PqCommReadingMsg, that is set whenever we're in the middle of reading a message. When it's set, we cannot safely ERROR out and continue running, because we might've read only part of a message. PqCommReadingMsg acts somewhat similarly to critical sections in that if an error occurs while it's set, the error handler will force the connection to be terminated, as if the error was FATAL. It's not implemented by promoting ERROR to FATAL in elog.c, like ERROR is promoted to PANIC in critical sections, because we want to be able to use PG_TRY/CATCH to recover and regain protocol sync. pq_getmessage() takes advantage of that to prevent an OOM error from terminating the connection. To prevent unnecessary connection terminations, add a holdoff mechanism similar to HOLD/RESUME_INTERRUPTS() that can be used hold off query cancel interrupts, but still allow die interrupts. The rules on which interrupts are processed when are now a bit more complicated, so refactor ProcessInterrupts() and the calls to it in signal handlers so that the signal handlers always call it if ImmediateInterruptOK is set, and ProcessInterrupts() can decide to not do anything if the other conditions are not met.

* pgindent run for 9.4Bruce Momjian2014-05-06
| | | | | This includes removing tabs after periods in C comments, which was applied to back branches, so this change should not effect backpatching.

* Split tuple struct defs from htup.h to htup_details.hAlvaro Herrera2012-08-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | This reduces unnecessary exposure of other headers through htup.h, which is very widely included by many files. I have chosen to move the function prototypes to the new file as well, because that means htup.h no longer needs to include tupdesc.h. In itself this doesn't have much effect in indirect inclusion of tupdesc.h throughout the tree, because it's also required by execnodes.h; but it's something to explore in the future, and it seemed best to do the htup.h change now while I'm busy with it.
* Make "unexpected EOF" messages DEBUG1 unless in an open transactionMagnus Hagander2012-05-07
| | | | | | | "Unexpected EOF on client connection" without an open transaction is mostly noise, so turn it into DEBUG1. With an open transaction it's still indicating a problem, so keep those as ERROR, and change the message to indicate that it happened in a transaction.

* Pass collations to functions in FunctionCallInfoData, not FmgrInfo.Tom Lane2011-04-12
| | | | | | | | | | | Since collation is effectively an argument, not a property of the function, FmgrInfo is really the wrong place for it; and this becomes critical in cases where a cached FmgrInfo is used for varying purposes that might need different collation settings. Fix by passing it in FunctionCallInfoData instead. In particular this allows a clean fix for bug #5970 (record_cmp not working). This requires touching a bit more code than the original method, but nobody ever thought that collations would not be an invasive patch...

* stringToNode() and deparse_expression_pretty() crash on invalid input,Heikki Linnakangas2010-06-30
| | | | | | | | | | but we have nevertheless exposed them to users via pg_get_expr(). It would be too much maintenance effort to rigorously check the input, so put a hack in place instead to restrict pg_get_expr() so that the argument must come from one of the system catalog columns known to contain valid expressions. Per report from Rushabh Lathia. Backpatch to 7.4 which is the oldest supported version at the moment.
* Wrap calls to SearchSysCache and related functions using macros.Robert Haas2010-02-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | The purpose of this change is to eliminate the need for every caller of SearchSysCache, SearchSysCacheCopy, SearchSysCacheExists, GetSysCacheOid, and SearchSysCacheList to know the maximum number of allowable keys for a syscache entry (currently 4). This will make it far easier to increase the maximum number of keys in a future release should we choose to do so, and it makes the code shorter, too. Design and review by Tom Lane.

* Improve snapshot manager by keeping explicit track of snapshots.Alvaro Herrera2008-05-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | There are two ways to track a snapshot: there's the "registered" list, which is used for arbitrary long-lived snapshots; and there's the "active stack", which is used for the snapshot that is considered "active" at any time. This also allows users of snapshots to stop worrying about snapshot memory allocation and freeing, and about using PG_TRY blocks around ActiveSnapshot assignment. This is all done automatically now. As a consequence, this allows us to reset MyProc->xmin when there are no more snapshots registered in the current backend, reducing the impact that long-running transactions have on VACUUM.
* Rename snapmgmt.c/h to snapmgr.c/h, for consistency with other files.Alvaro Herrera2008-03-26
| | | | Per complaint from Tom Lane.
* Separate snapshot management code from tuple visibility code, create aAlvaro Herrera2008-03-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | snapmgmt.c file for the former. The header files have also been reorganized in three parts: the most basic snapshot definitions are now in a new file snapshot.h, and the also new snapmgmt.h keeps the definitions for snapmgmt.c. tqual.h has been reduced to the bare minimum. This patch is just a first step towards managing live snapshots within a transaction; there is no functionality change. Per my proposal to pgsql-patches on 20080318191940.GB27458@alvh.no-ip.org and subsequent discussion.

* Do a CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS immediately before terminating a fastpathTom Lane2006-06-14
| | | | | | | | | function call. Previously, there may have been no CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS at all in the fastpath code path, making it impossible to cancel an operation such as \lo_import externally. This addition doesn't ensure you can cancel, since your SIGINT may arrive while the backend is idle waiting for the client, but it gives the largest window we can easily provide. Noted while experimenting with new control-C code for psql.
* Fix Assert failure when a fastpath function call is attempted inside anTom Lane2006-06-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | already-aborted transaction block. GetSnapshotData throws an Assert if not in a valid transaction; hence we mustn't attempt to set a snapshot for the function until after checking for aborted transaction. This is harmless AFAICT if Asserts aren't enabled (GetSnapshotData will compute a bogus snapshot, but it doesn't matter since HandleFunctionRequest will throw an error shortly anywy). Hence, not a major bug. Along the way, add some ability to log fastpath calls when statement logging is turned on. This could probably stand to be improved further, but not logging anything is clearly undesirable. Backpatched as far as 8.0; bug doesn't exist before that.
* Modify all callers of datatype input and receive functions so that if theseTom Lane2006-04-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | functions are not strict, they will be called (passing a NULL first parameter) during any attempt to input a NULL value of their datatype. Currently, all our input functions are strict and so this commit does not change any behavior. However, this will make it possible to build domain input functions that centralize checking of domain constraints, thereby closing numerous holes in our domain support, as per previous discussion. While at it, I took the opportunity to introduce convenience functions InputFunctionCall, OutputFunctionCall, etc to use in code that calls I/O functions. This eliminates a lot of grotty-looking casts, but the main motivation is to make it easier to grep for these places if we ever need to touch them again.

* Change typreceive function API so that receive functions get the sameTom Lane2005-07-10
| | | | | | | optional arguments as text input functions, ie, typioparam OID and atttypmod. Make all the datatypes that use typmod enforce it the same way in typreceive as they do in typinput. This fixes a problem with failure to enforce length restrictions during COPY FROM BINARY.
* Change CREATE TYPE to require datatype output and send functions to haveTom Lane2005-05-01
| | | | | | | only one argument. (Per recent discussion, the option to accept multiple arguments is pretty useless for user-defined types, and would be a likely source of security holes if it was used.) Simplify call sites of output/send functions to not bother passing more than one argument.
* Officially decouple FUNC_MAX_ARGS from INDEX_MAX_KEYS, and set theTom Lane2005-03-29
| | | | | | former to 100 by default. Clean up some of the less necessary dependencies on FUNC_MAX_ARGS; however, the biggie (FunctionCallInfoData) remains.
* Convert oidvector and int2vector into variable-length arrays. ThisTom Lane2005-03-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | change saves a great deal of space in pg_proc and its primary index, and it eliminates the former requirement that INDEX_MAX_KEYS and FUNC_MAX_ARGS have the same value. INDEX_MAX_KEYS is still embedded in the on-disk representation (because it affects index tuple header size), but FUNC_MAX_ARGS is not. I believe it would now be possible to increase FUNC_MAX_ARGS at little cost, but haven't experimented yet. There are still a lot of vestigial references to FUNC_MAX_ARGS, which I will clean up in a separate pass. However, getting rid of it altogether would require changing the FunctionCallInfoData struct, and I'm not sure I want to buy into that.

* Redesign query-snapshot timing so that volatile functions in READ COMMITTEDTom Lane2004-09-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | mode see a fresh snapshot for each command in the function, rather than using the latest interactive command's snapshot. Also, suppress fresh snapshots as well as CommandCounterIncrement inside STABLE and IMMUTABLE functions, instead using the snapshot taken for the most closely nested regular query. (This behavior is only sane for read-only functions, so the patch also enforces that such functions contain only SELECT commands.) As per my proposal of 6-Sep-2004; I note that I floated essentially the same proposal on 19-Jun-2002, but that discussion tailed off without any action. Since 8.0 seems like the right place to be taking possibly nontrivial backwards compatibility hits, let's get it done now.

| | | | | | | | | | of a composite type to get that type's OID as their second parameter, in place of typelem which is useless. The actual changes are mostly centralized in getTypeInputInfo and siblings, but I had to fix a few places that were fetching pg_type.typelem for themselves instead of using the lsyscache.c routines. Also, I renamed all the related variables from 'typelem' to 'typioparam' to discourage people from assuming that they necessarily contain array element types.
