* Remove inadequate check for duplicate "xml" PI.Tom Lane2019-03-23
| | | | | | I failed to think about PIs starting with "xml". We don't really need this check at all, so just take it out. Oversight in commit 8d1dadb25 et al.
* Revert strlen -> strnlen optimization pre-v11.Tom Lane2019-03-23
| | | | | We don't have a src/port substitute for that function in older branches, so it fails on platforms lacking the function natively. Per buildfarm.
* Accept XML documents when xmloption = content, as required by SQL:2006+.Tom Lane2019-03-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously we were using the SQL:2003 definition, which doesn't allow this, but that creates a serious dump/restore gotcha: there is no setting of xmloption that will allow all valid XML data. Hence, switch to the 2006 definition. Since libxml doesn't accept <!DOCTYPE> directives in the mode we use for CONTENT parsing, the implementation is to detect <!DOCTYPE> in the input and switch to DOCUMENT parsing mode. This should not cost much, because <!DOCTYPE> should be close to the front of the input if it's there at all. It's possible that this causes the error messages for malformed input to be slightly different than they were before, if said input includes <!DOCTYPE>; but that does not seem like a big problem. In passing, buy back a few cycles in parsing of large XML documents by not doing strlen() of the whole input in parse_xml_decl(). Back-patch because dump/restore failures are not nice. This change shouldn't break any cases that worked before, so it seems safe to back-patch.

* Defend against null error message reported by libxml2.Tom Lane2019-02-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | While this isn't really supposed to happen, it can occur in OOM situations and perhaps others. Instead of crashing, substitute "(no message provided)". I didn't worry about localizing this text, since we aren't localizing anything else here; besides, if we're on the edge of OOM, it's unlikely gettext() would work.

* Fix float-to-integer coercions to handle edge cases correctly.Tom Lane2018-11-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ftoi4 and its sibling coercion functions did their overflow checks in a way that looked superficially plausible, but actually depended on an assumption that the MIN and MAX comparison constants can be represented exactly in the float4 or float8 domain. That fails in ftoi4, ftoi8, and dtoi8, resulting in a possibility that values near the MAX limit will be wrongly converted (to negative values) when they need to be rejected. Also, because we compared before rounding off the fractional part, the other three functions threw errors for values that really ought to get rounded to the min or max integer value. Fix by doing rint() first (requiring an assumption that it handles NaN and Inf correctly; but dtoi8 and ftoi8 were assuming that already), and by comparing to values that should coerce to float exactly, namely INTxx_MIN and -INTxx_MIN. Also remove some random cosmetic discrepancies between these six functions. This back-patches commits cbdb8b4c0 and 452b637d4. In the 9.4 branch, also back-patch the portion of 62e2a8dc2 that added PG_INTnn_MIN and related constants to c.h, so that these functions can rely on them. Per bug #15519 from Victor Petrovykh.

* Avoid statically allocating gmtsub()'s timezone workspace.Tom Lane2018-10-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | localtime.c's "struct state" is a rather large object, ~23KB. We were statically allocating one for gmtsub() to use to represent the GMT timezone, even though that function is not at all heavily used and is never reached in most backends. Let's malloc it on-demand, instead. This does pose the question of how to handle a malloc failure, but there's already a well-defined error report convention here, ie set errno and return NULL. We have but one caller of pg_gmtime in HEAD, and two in back branches, neither of which were troubling to check for error. Make them do so. The possible errors are sufficiently unlikely (out-of-range timestamp, and now malloc failure) that I think elog() is adequate. Back-patch to all supported branches to keep our copies of the IANA timezone code in sync. This particular change is in a stanza that already differs from upstream, so it's a wash for maintenance purposes --- but only as long as we keep the branches the same.

* Fix corner-case failures in has_foo_privilege() family of functions.Tom Lane2018-10-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The variants of these functions that take numeric inputs (OIDs or column numbers) are supposed to return NULL rather than failing on bad input; this rule reduces problems with snapshot skew when queries apply the functions to all rows of a catalog. has_column_privilege() had careless handling of the case where the table OID didn't exist. You might get something like this: select has_column_privilege(9999,'nosuchcol','select'); ERROR: column "nosuchcol" of relation "(null)" does not exist or you might get a crash, depending on the platform's printf's response to a null string pointer. In addition, while applying the column-number variant to a dropped column returned NULL as desired, applying the column-name variant did not: select has_column_privilege('mytable','........pg.dropped.2........','select'); ERROR: column "........pg.dropped.2........" of relation "mytable" does not exist It seems better to make this case return NULL as well. Also, the OID-accepting variants of has_foreign_data_wrapper_privilege, has_server_privilege, and has_tablespace_privilege didn't follow the principle of returning NULL for nonexistent OIDs. Superusers got TRUE, everybody else got an error. Per investigation of Jaime Casanova's report of a new crash in HEAD. These behaviors have been like this for a long time, so back-patch to all supported branches.

* Fix over-allocation of space for array_out()'s result string.Tom Lane2018-09-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | array_out overestimated the space needed for its output, possibly by a very substantial amount if the array is multi-dimensional, because of wrong order of operations in the loop that counts the number of curly-brace pairs needed. While the output string is normally short-lived, this could still cause problems in extreme cases. An additional minor error was that it counted one more delimiter than is actually needed. Repair those errors, add an Assert that the space is now correctly calculated, and make some minor improvements in the comments. I also failed to resist the temptation to get rid of an integer modulus operation per array element; a simple comparison is sufficient. This bug dates clear back to Berkeley days, so back-patch to all supported versions.

* Repair bug in regexp split performance improvements.Andrew Gierth2018-09-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit c8ea87e4b introduced a temporary conversion buffer for substrings extracted during regexp splits. Unfortunately the code that sized it was failing to ignore the effects of ignored degenerate regexp matches, so for regexp_split_* calls it could under-size the buffer in such cases. Fix, and add some regression test cases (though those will only catch the bug if run in a multibyte encoding). Backpatch to 9.3 as the faulty code was. Thanks to the PostGIS project, Regina Obe and Paul Ramsey for the report (via IRC) and assistance in analysis. Patch by me.
* Avoid quadratic slowdown in regexp match/split functions.Andrew Gierth2018-08-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | regexp_matches, regexp_split_to_table and regexp_split_to_array all work by compiling a list of match positions as character offsets (NOT byte positions) in the source string. Formerly, they then used text_substr to extract the matched text; but in a multi-byte encoding, that counts the characters in the string, and the characters needed to reach the starting byte position, on every call. Accordingly, the performance degraded as the product of the input string length and the number of match positions, such that splitting a string of a few hundred kbytes could take many minutes. Repair by keeping the wide-character copy of the input string available (only in the case where encoding_max_length is not 1) after performing the match operation, and extracting substrings from that instead. This reduces the complexity to being linear in the number of result bytes, discounting the actual regexp match itself (which is not affected by this patch). In passing, remove cleanup using retail pfree() which was obsoleted by commit ff428cded (Feb 2008) which made cleanup of SRF multi-call contexts automatic. Also increase (to ~134 million) the maximum number of matches and provide an error message when it is reached. Backpatch all the way because this has been wrong forever.

* Further fixes for quoted-list GUC values in pg_dump and ruleutils.c.Tom Lane2018-07-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commits 742869946 et al turn out to be a couple bricks shy of a load. We were dumping the stored values of GUC_LIST_QUOTE variables as they appear in proconfig or setconfig catalog columns. However, although that quoting rule looks a lot like SQL-identifier double quotes, there are two critical differences: empty strings ("") are legal, and depending on which variable you're considering, values longer than NAMEDATALEN might be valid too. So the current technique fails altogether on empty-string list entries (as reported by Steven Winfield in bug #15248) and it also risks truncating file pathnames during dump/reload of GUC values that are lists of pathnames. To fix, split the stored value without any downcasing or truncation, and then emit each element as a SQL string literal. This is a tad annoying, because we now have three copies of the comma-separated-string splitting logic in varlena.c as well as a fourth one in dumputils.c. (Not to mention the randomly-different-from-those splitting logic in libpq...) I looked at unifying these, but it would be rather a mess unless we're willing to tweak the API definitions of SplitIdentifierString, SplitDirectoriesString, or both. That might be worth doing in future; but it seems pretty unsafe for a back-patched bug fix, so for now accept the duplication. Back-patch to all supported branches, as the previous fix was.

* Update time zone data files to tzdata release 2018e.Tom Lane2018-05-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | DST law changes in North Korea. Redefinition of "daylight savings" in Ireland, as well as for some past years in Namibia and Czechoslovakia. Additional historical corrections for Czechoslovakia. With this change, the IANA database models Irish timekeeping as following "standard time" in summer, and "daylight savings" in winter, so that the daylight savings offset is one hour behind standard time not one hour ahead. This does not change their UTC offset (+1:00 in summer, 0:00 in winter) nor their timezone abbreviations (IST in summer, GMT in winter), though now "IST" is more correctly read as "Irish Standard Time" not "Irish Summer Time". However, the "is_dst" column in the pg_timezone_names view will now be true in winter and false in summer for the Europe/Dublin zone. Similar changes were made for Namibia between 1994 and 2017, and for Czechoslovakia between 1946 and 1947. So far as I can find, no Postgres internal logic cares about which way tm_isdst is reported; in particular, since commit b2cbced9e we do not rely on it to decide how to interpret ambiguous timestamps during DST transitions. So I don't think this change will affect any Postgres behavior other than the timezone-view outputs. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/30996.1525445902@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Revert back-branch changes in power()'s behavior for NaN inputs.Tom Lane2018-05-02

* Avoid wrong results for power() with NaN input on more platforms.Tom Lane2018-04-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Buildfarm results show that the modern POSIX rule that 1 ^ NaN = 1 is not honored on *BSD until relatively recently, and really old platforms don't believe that NaN ^ 0 = 1 either. (This is unsurprising, perhaps, since SUSv2 doesn't require either behavior.) In hopes of getting to platform independent behavior, let's deal with all the NaN-input cases explicitly in dpow(). Note that numeric_power() doesn't know either of these special cases. But since that behavior is platform-independent, I think it should be addressed separately, and probably not back-patched.

* Avoid wrong results for power() with NaN input on some platforms.Tom Lane2018-04-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Per spec, the result of power() should be NaN if either input is NaN. It appears that on some versions of Windows, the libc function does return NaN, but it also sets errno = EDOM, confusing our code that attempts to work around shortcomings of other platforms. Hence, add guard tests to avoid substituting a wrong result for the right one.

* Fix actual and potential double-frees around tuplesort usage.Tom Lane2018-03-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | tuplesort_gettupleslot() passed back tuples allocated in the tuplesort's own memory context, even when the caller was responsible to free them. This created a double-free hazard, because some callers might destroy the tuplesort object (via tuplesort_end) before trying to clean up the last returned tuple. To avoid this, change the API to specify that the tuple is allocated in the caller's memory context. v10 and HEAD already did things that way, but in 9.5 and 9.6 this is a live bug that can demonstrably cause crashes with some grouping-set usages. In 9.5 and 9.6, this requires doing an extra tuple copy in some cases, which is unfortunate. But the amount of refactoring needed to avoid it seems excessive for a back-patched change, especially since the cases where an extra copy happens are less performance-critical. Likewise change tuplesort_getdatum() to return pass-by-reference Datums in the caller's context not the tuplesort's context. There seem to be no live bugs among its callers, but clearly the same sort of situation could happen in future. For other tuplesort fetch routines, continue to allocate the memory in the tuplesort's context. This is a little inconsistent with what we now do for tuplesort_gettupleslot() and tuplesort_getdatum(), but that's preferable to adding new copy overhead in the back branches where it's clearly unnecessary. These other fetch routines provide the weakest possible guarantees about tuple memory lifespan from v10 on, anyway, so this actually seems more consistent overall. Adjust relevant comments to reflect these API redefinitions. Arguably, we should change the pre-9.5 branches as well, but since there are no known failure cases there, it seems not worth the risk.

* Fix mishandling of quoted-list GUC values in pg_dump and ruleutils.c.Tom Lane2018-03-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code that prints out the contents of setconfig or proconfig arrays in SQL format needs to handle GUC_LIST_QUOTE variables differently from other ones, because for those variables, flatten_set_variable_args() already applied a layer of quoting. The value can therefore safely be printed as-is, and indeed must be, or flatten_set_variable_args() will muck it up completely on reload. For all other GUC variables, it's necessary and sufficient to quote the value as a SQL literal. We'd recognized the need for this long ago, but mis-analyzed the need slightly, thinking that all GUC_LIST_INPUT variables needed the special treatment. That's actually wrong, since a valid value of a LIST variable might include characters that need quoting, although no existing variables accept such values. More to the point, we hadn't made any particular effort to keep the various places that deal with this up-to-date with the set of variables that actually need special treatment, meaning that we'd do the wrong thing with, for example, temp_tablespaces values. This affects dumping of SET clauses attached to functions, as well as ALTER DATABASE/ROLE SET commands. In ruleutils.c we can fix it reasonably honestly by exporting a guc.c function that allows discovering the flags for a given GUC variable. But pg_dump doesn't have easy access to that, so continue the old method of having a hard-wired list of affected variable names. At least we can fix it to have just one list not two, and update the list to match current reality. A remaining problem with this is that it only works for built-in GUC variables. pg_dump's list obvious knows nothing of third-party extensions, and even the "ask guc.c" method isn't bulletproof since the relevant extension might not be loaded. There's no obvious solution to that, so for now, we'll just have to discourage extension authors from inventing custom GUCs that need GUC_LIST_QUOTE. This has been busted for a long time, so back-patch to all supported branches.

* Fix some corner-case issues in REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW CONCURRENTLY.Tom Lane2018-03-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | refresh_by_match_merge() has some issues in the way it builds a SQL query to construct the "diff" table: 1. It doesn't require the selected unique index(es) to be indimmediate. 2. It doesn't pay attention to the particular equality semantics enforced by a given index, but just assumes that they must be those of the column datatype's default btree opclass. 3. It doesn't check that the indexes are btrees. 4. It's insufficiently careful to ensure that the parser will pick the intended operator when parsing the query. (This would have been a security bug before CVE-2018-1058.) 5. It's not careful about indexes on system columns. The way to fix #4 is to make use of the existing code in ri_triggers.c for generating an arbitrary binary operator clause. I chose to move that to ruleutils.c, since that seems a more reasonable place to be exporting such functionality from than ri_triggers.c. While #1, #3, and #5 are just latent given existing feature restrictions, and #2 doesn't arise in the core system for lack of alternate opclasses with different equality behaviors, #4 seems like an issue worth back-patching. That's the bulk of the change anyway, so just back-patch the whole thing to 9.4 where this code was introduced. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/13836.1521413227@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Fix assorted issues in convert_to_scalar().Tom Lane2018-03-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If convert_to_scalar is passed a pair of datatypes it can't cope with, its former behavior was just to elog(ERROR). While this is OK so far as the core code is concerned, there's extension code that would like to use scalarltsel/scalargtsel/etc as selectivity estimators for operators that work on non-core datatypes, and this behavior is a show-stopper for that use-case. If we simply allow convert_to_scalar to return FALSE instead of outright failing, then the main logic of scalarltsel/scalargtsel will work fine for any operator that behaves like a scalar inequality comparison. The lack of conversion capability will mean that we can't estimate to better than histogram-bin-width precision, since the code will effectively assume that the comparison constant falls at the middle of its bin. But that's still a lot better than nothing. (Someday we should provide a way for extension code to supply a custom version of convert_to_scalar, but today is not that day.) While poking at this issue, we noted that the existing code for handling type bytea in convert_to_scalar is several bricks shy of a load. It assumes without checking that if the comparison value is type bytea, the bounds values are too; in the worst case this could lead to a crash. It also fails to detoast the input values, so that the comparison result is complete garbage if any input is toasted out-of-line, compressed, or even just short-header. I'm not sure how often such cases actually occur --- the bounds values, at least, are probably safe since they are elements of an array and hence can't be toasted. But that doesn't make this code OK. Back-patch to all supported branches, partly because author requested that, but mostly because of the bytea bugs. The change in API for the exposed routine convert_network_to_scalar() is theoretically a back-patch hazard, but it seems pretty unlikely that any third-party code is calling that function directly.

* Avoid using unsafe search_path settings during dump and restore.Tom Lane2018-02-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Historically, pg_dump has "set search_path = foo, pg_catalog" when dumping an object in schema "foo", and has also caused that setting to be used while restoring the object. This is problematic because functions and operators in schema "foo" could capture references meant to refer to pg_catalog entries, both in the queries issued by pg_dump and those issued during the subsequent restore run. That could result in dump/restore misbehavior, or in privilege escalation if a nefarious user installs trojan-horse functions or operators. This patch changes pg_dump so that it does not change the search_path dynamically. The emitted restore script sets the search_path to what was used at dump time, and then leaves it alone thereafter. Created objects are placed in the correct schema, regardless of the active search_path, by dint of schema-qualifying their names in the CREATE commands, as well as in subsequent ALTER and ALTER-like commands. Since this change requires a change in the behavior of pg_restore when processing an archive file made according to this new convention, bump the archive file version number; old versions of pg_restore will therefore refuse to process files made with new versions of pg_dump.

If it didn't, that would usually result in a crash, though disclosure of server memory contents seems possible as well, for a skilled attacker capable of issuing crafted SQL commands. Instead, use the query-supplied descriptor only when there is no input tuple to look at, and otherwise get a tuple descriptor based on the input tuple's own type marking.

* Fix behavior when converting a float infinity to numeric.Tom Lane2017-09-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | float8_numeric() and float4_numeric() failed to consider the possibility that the input is an IEEE infinity. The results depended on the platform-specific behavior of sprintf(): on most platforms you'd get something like ERROR: invalid input syntax for type numeric: "inf" but at least on Windows it's possible for the conversion to succeed and deliver a finite value (typically 1), due to a nonstandard output format from sprintf and lack of syntax error checking in these functions. Since our numeric type lacks the concept of infinity, a suitable conversion is impossible; the best thing to do is throw an explicit error before letting sprintf do its thing. While at it, let's use snprintf not sprintf. Overrunning the buffer should be impossible if sprintf does what it's supposed to, but this is cheap insurance against a stack smash if it doesn't. Problem reported by Taiki Kondo. Patch by me based on fix suggestion from KaiGai Kohei. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* Ensure that pg_get_ruledef()'s output matches pg_get_viewdef()'s.Tom Lane2017-07-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Various cases involving renaming of view columns are handled by having make_viewdef pass down the view's current relation tupledesc to get_query_def, which then takes care to use the column names from the tupledesc for the output column names of the SELECT. For some reason though, we'd missed teaching make_ruledef to do similarly when it is printing an ON SELECT rule, even though this is exactly the same case. The results from pg_get_ruledef would then be different and arguably wrong. In particular, this breaks pre-v10 versions of pg_dump, which in some situations would define views by means of emitting a CREATE RULE ... ON SELECT command. Third-party tools might not be happy either. In passing, clean up some crufty code in make_viewdef; we'd apparently modernized the equivalent code in make_ruledef somewhere along the way, and missed this copy. Per report from Gilles Darold. Back-patch to all supported versions. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/ec05659a-40ff-4510-fc45-ca9d965d0838@dalibo.com
* Fix dumping of outer joins with empty qual lists.Tom Lane2017-07-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Normally, a JoinExpr would have empty "quals" only if it came from CROSS JOIN syntax. However, it's possible to get to this state by specifying NATURAL JOIN between two tables with no common column names, and there might be other ways too. The code previously printed no ON clause if "quals" was empty; that's right for CROSS JOIN but syntactically invalid if it's some type of outer join. Fix by printing ON TRUE in that case. This got broken by commit 2ffa740be, which stopped using NATURAL JOIN syntax in ruleutils output due to its brittleness in the face of column renamings. Back-patch to 9.3 where that commit appeared. Per report from Tushar Ahuja. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/98b283cd-6dda-5d3f-f8ac-87db8c76a3da@enterprisedb.com
* Fix dumping of FUNCTION RTEs that contain non-function-call expressions.Tom Lane2017-07-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The grammar will only accept something syntactically similar to a function call in a function-in-FROM expression. However, there are various ways to input something that ruleutils.c won't deparse that way, potentially leading to a view or rule that fails dump/reload. Fix by inserting a dummy CAST around anything that isn't going to deparse as a function (which is one of the ways to get something like that in there in the first place). In HEAD, also make use of the infrastructure added by this to avoid emitting unnecessary parentheses in CREATE INDEX deparsing. I did not change that in back branches, thinking that people might find it to be unexpected/unnecessary behavioral change. In HEAD, also fix incorrect logic for when to add extra parens to partition key expressions. Somebody apparently thought they could get away with simpler logic than pg_get_indexdef_worker has, but they were wrong --- a counterexample is PARTITION BY LIST ((a[1])). Ignoring the prettyprint flag for partition expressions isn't exactly a nice solution anyway. This has been broken all along, so back-patch to all supported branches.

* Fix ruleutils.c for domain-over-array cases, too.Tom Lane2017-07-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Further investigation shows that ruleutils isn't quite up to speed either for cases where we have a domain-over-array: it needs to be prepared to look past a CoerceToDomain at the top level of field and element assignments, else it decompiles them incorrectly. Potentially this would result in failure to dump/reload a rule, if it looked like the one in the new test case. (I also added a test for EXPLAIN; that output isn't broken, but clearly we need more test coverage here.) Like commit b1cb32fb6, this bug is reachable in cases we already support, so back-patch all the way.

* Tighten checks for whitespace in functions that parse identifiers etc.Tom Lane2017-05-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch replaces isspace() calls with scanner_isspace() in functions that are likely to be presented with non-ASCII input. isspace() has the small advantage that it will correctly recognize no-break space in single-byte encodings (such as LATIN1); but it cannot work successfully for any multibyte character, and depending on platform it might return false positive results for some fragments of multibyte characters. That's disastrous for functions that are trying to discard whitespace between valid strings, as noted in bug #14662 from Justin Muise. Even treating no-break space as whitespace is pretty questionable for the usages touched here, because the core scanner would think it is an identifier character. Affected functions are parse_ident(), parseNameAndArgTypes (underlying regprocedurein() and siblings), SplitIdentifierString (used for parsing GUCs and options that are qualified names or lists of names), and SplitDirectoriesString (used for parsing GUCs that are lists of directories). All the functions adjusted here are parsing SQL identifiers and similar constructs, so it's reasonable to insist that their definition of whitespace match the core scanner. So we can hope that this won't cause many backwards-compatibility problems. I've left alone isspace() calls in places that aren't really expecting any non-ASCII input characters, such as float8in().

* Fix precision and rounding issues in money multiplication and division.Tom Lane2017-05-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The cash_div_intX functions applied rint() to the result of the division. That's not merely useless (because the result is already an integer) but it causes precision loss for values larger than 2^52 or so, because of the forced conversion to float8. On the other hand, the cash_mul_fltX functions neglected to apply rint() to their multiplication results, thus possibly causing off-by-one outputs. Per C standard, arithmetic between any integral value and a float value is performed in float format. Thus, cash_mul_flt4 and cash_div_flt4 produced answers good to only about six digits, even when the float value is exact. We can improve matters noticeably by widening the float inputs to double. (It's tempting to consider using "long double" arithmetic if available, but that's probably too much of a stretch for a back-patched fix.) Also, document that cash_div_intX operators truncate rather than round. Per bug #14663 from Richard Pistole. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* Add security checks to selectivity estimation functionsPeter Eisentraut2017-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some selectivity estimation functions run user-supplied operators over data obtained from pg_statistic without security checks, which allows those operators to leak pg_statistic data without having privileges on the underlying tables. Fix by checking that one of the following is satisfied: (1) the user has table or column privileges on the table underlying the pg_statistic data, or (2) the function implementing the user-supplied operator is leak-proof. If neither is satisfied, planning will proceed as if there are no statistics available. At least one of these is satisfied in most cases in practice. The only situations that are negatively impacted are user-defined or not-leak-proof operators on a security-barrier view.

* Fix integer-overflow problems in interval comparison.Tom Lane2017-04-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When using integer timestamps, the interval-comparison functions tried to compute the overall magnitude of an interval as an int64 number of microseconds. As reported by Frazer McLean, this overflows for intervals exceeding about 296000 years, which is bad since we nominally allow intervals many times larger than that. That results in wrong comparison results, and possibly in corrupted btree indexes for columns containing such large interval values. To fix, compute the magnitude as int128 instead. Although some compilers have native support for int128 calculations, many don't, so create our own support functions that can do 128-bit addition and multiplication if the compiler support isn't there. These support functions are designed with an eye to allowing the int128 code paths in numeric.c to be rewritten for use on all platforms, although this patch doesn't do that, or even provide all the int128 primitives that will be needed for it. Back-patch as far as 9.4. Earlier releases did not guard against overflow of interval values at all (commit 146604ec4 fixed that), so it seems not very exciting to worry about overly-large intervals for them. Before 9.6, we did not assume that unreferenced "static inline" functions would not draw compiler warnings, so omit functions not directly referenced by timestamp.c, the only present consumer of int128.h. (We could have omitted these functions in HEAD too, but since they were written and debugged on the way to the present patch, and they look likely to be needed by numeric.c, let's keep them in HEAD.) I did not bother to try to prevent such warnings in a --disable-integer-datetimes build, though. Before 9.5, configure will never define HAVE_INT128, so the part of int128.h that exploits a native int128 implementation is dead code in the 9.4 branch. I didn't bother to remove it, thinking that keeping the file looking similar in different branches is more useful. In HEAD only, add a simple test harness for int128.h in src/tools/. In back branches, this does not change the float-timestamps code path. That's not subject to the same kind of overflow risk, since it computes the interval magnitude as float8. (No doubt, when this code was originally written, overflow was disregarded for exactly that reason.) There is a precision hazard instead :-(, but we'll avert our eyes from that question, since no complaints have been reported and that code's deprecated anyway.

* Blind try to fix portability issue in commit 8f93bd851 et al.Tom Lane2017-02-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The S/390 members of the buildfarm are showing failures indicating that they're having trouble with the rint() calls I added yesterday. There's no good reason for that, and I wonder if it is a compiler bug similar to the one we worked around in d9476b838. Try to fix it using the same method as before, namely to store the result of rint() back into a "double" variable rather than immediately converting to int64. (This isn't entirely waving a dead chicken, since on machines with wider-than-double float registers, the extra store forces a width conversion. I don't know if S/390 is like that, but it seems worth trying.) In passing, merge duplicate ereport() calls in float8_timestamptz(). Per buildfarm.
* Fix roundoff problems in float8_timestamptz() and make_interval().Tom Lane2017-02-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When converting a float value to integer microseconds, we should be careful to round the value to the nearest integer, typically with rint(); simply assigning to an int64 variable will truncate, causing apparently off-by-one values in cases that should work. Most places in the datetime code got this right, but not these two. float8_timestamptz() is new as of commit e511d878f (9.6). Previous versions effectively depended on interval_mul() to do roundoff correctly, which it does, so this fixes an accuracy regression in 9.6. The problem in make_interval() dates to its introduction in 9.4. Aside from being careful to round not truncate, let's incorporate the hours and minutes inputs into the result with exact integer arithmetic, rather than risk introducing roundoff error where there need not have been any. float8_timestamptz() problem reported by Erik Nordström, though this is not his proposed patch. make_interval() problem found by me.

* Ensure that a tsquery like '!foo' matches empty tsvectors.Tom Lane2017-01-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | !foo means "the tsvector does not contain foo", and therefore it should match an empty tsvector. ts_match_vq() overenthusiastically supposed that an empty tsvector could never match any query, so it forcibly returned FALSE, the wrong answer. Remove the premature optimization. Our behavior on this point was inconsistent, because while seqscans and GIST index searches both failed to match empty tsvectors, GIN index searches would find them, since GIN scans don't rely on ts_match_vq(). That makes this certainly a bug, not a debatable definition disagreement, so back-patch to all supported branches. Report and diagnosis by Tom Dunstan (bug #14515); added test cases by me.

* Disable transforms that replaced AT TIME ZONE with RelabelType.Tom Lane2017-01-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These resulted in wrong answers if the relabeled argument could be matched to an index column, as shown in bug #14504 from Evgeniy Kozlov. We might be able to resurrect these optimizations by adjusting the planner's treatment of RelabelType, or by adjusting btree's rules for selecting comparison functions, but either solution will take careful analysis and does not sound like a fit candidate for backpatching. I left the catalog infrastructure in place and just reduced the transform functions to always-return-NULL. This would be necessary anyway in the back branches, and it doesn't seem important to be more invasive in HEAD. Bug introduced by commit b8a18ad48. Back-patch to 9.5 where that came in.

* Fix handling of empty arrays in array_fill().Tom Lane2017-01-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | array_fill(..., array[0]) produced an empty array, which is probably what users expect, but it was a one-dimensional zero-length array which is not our standard representation of empty arrays. Also, for no very good reason, it rejected empty input arrays; that case should be allowed and produce an empty output array. In passing, remove the restriction that the input array(s) have lower bound 1. That seems rather pointless, and it would have needed extra complexity to make the check deal with empty input arrays. Per bug #14487 from Andrew Gierth. It's been broken all along, so back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20170105152156.10135.64195@wrigleys.postgresql.org
* Fix interval_transform so it doesn't throw away non-no-op casts.Tom Lane2016-12-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | interval_transform() contained two separate bugs that caused it to sometimes mistakenly decide that a cast from interval to restricted interval is a no-op and throw it away. First, it was wrong to rely on dt.h's field type macros to have an ordering consistent with the field's significance; in one case they do not. This led to mistakenly treating YEAR as less significant than MONTH, so that a cast from INTERVAL MONTH to INTERVAL YEAR was incorrectly discarded. Second, fls(1<<k) produces k+1 not k, so comparing its output directly to SECOND was wrong. This led to supposing that a cast to INTERVAL MINUTE was really a cast to INTERVAL SECOND and so could be discarded. To fix, get rid of the use of fls(), and make a function based on intervaltypmodout to produce a field ID code adapted to the need here. Per bug #14479 from Piotr Stefaniak. Back-patch to 9.2 where transform functions were introduced, because this code was born broken. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20161227172307.10135.7747@wrigleys.postgresql.org
* Fix handling of expanded objects in CoerceToDomain and CASE execution.Tom Lane2016-12-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the input value to a CoerceToDomain expression node is a read-write expanded datum, we should pass a read-only pointer to any domain CHECK expressions and then return the original read-write pointer as the expression result. Previously we were blindly passing the same pointer to all the consumers of the value, making it possible for a function in CHECK to modify or even delete the expanded value. (Since a plpgsql function will absorb a passed-in read-write expanded array as a local variable value, it will in fact delete the value on exit.) A similar hazard of passing the same read-write pointer to multiple consumers exists in domain_check() and in ExecEvalCase, so fix those too. The fix requires adding MakeExpandedObjectReadOnly calls at the appropriate places, which is simple enough except that we need to get the data type's typlen from somewhere. For the domain cases, solve this by redefining DomainConstraintRef.tcache as okay for callers to access; there wasn't any reason for the original convention against that, other than not wanting the API of typcache.c to be any wider than it had to be. For CASE, there's no good solution except to add a syscache lookup during executor start. Per bug #14472 from Marcos Castedo. Back-patch to 9.5 where expanded values were introduced.
