* Fix some probably-minor oversights in readfuncs.c.Tom Lane2018-09-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The system expects TABLEFUNC RTEs to have coltypes, coltypmods, and colcollations lists, but outfuncs doesn't dump them and readfuncs doesn't restore them. This doesn't cause obvious failures, because the only things that look at those fields are expandRTE() and get_rte_attribute_type(), which are mostly used during parse analysis, before anything would've passed the parsetree through outfuncs/readfuncs. But expandRTE() is used in build_physical_tlist(), which means that that function will return a wrong answer for a TABLEFUNC RTE that came from a view. Very accidentally, this doesn't cause serious problems, because what it will return is NIL which callers will interpret as "couldn't build a physical tlist because of dropped columns". So you still get a plan that works, though it's marginally less efficient than it could be. There are also some other expandRTE() calls associated with transformation of whole-row Vars in the planner. I have been unable to exhibit misbehavior from that, and it may be unreachable in any case that anyone would care about ... but I'm not entirely convinced, so this seems like something we should back- patch a fix for. Fortunately, we can fix it without forcing a change of stored rules and a catversion bump, because we can just copy these lists from the subsidiary TableFunc object. readfuncs.c was also missing support for NamedTuplestoreScan plan nodes. This accidentally fails to break parallel query because a query using a named tuplestore would never be considered parallel-safe anyway. However, project policy since parallel query came in is that all plan node types should have outfuncs/readfuncs support, so this is clearly an oversight that should be repaired. Noted while fooling around with a patch to test outfuncs/readfuncs more thoroughly. That exposed some other issues too, but these are the only ones that seem worth back-patching. Back-patch to v10 where both of these features came in. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/17114.1537138992@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Allow DSM allocation to be interrupted.Thomas Munro2018-09-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Chris Travers reported that the startup process can repeatedly try to cancel a backend that is in a posix_fallocate()/EINTR loop and cause it to loop forever. Teach the retry loop to give up if an interrupt is pending. Don't actually check for interrupts in that loop though, because a non-local exit would skip some clean-up code in the caller. Back-patch to 9.4 where DSM was added (and posix_fallocate() was later back-patched).

* Fix parsetree representation of XMLTABLE(XMLNAMESPACES(DEFAULT ...)).Tom Lane2018-09-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The original coding for XMLTABLE thought it could represent a default namespace by a T_String Value node with a null string pointer. That's not okay, though; in particular outfuncs.c/readfuncs.c are not on board with such a representation, meaning you'll get a null pointer crash if you try to store a view or rule containing this construct. To fix, change the parsetree representation so that we have a NULL list element, instead of a bogus Value node. This isn't really a functional limitation since default XML namespaces aren't yet implemented in the executor; you'd just get "DEFAULT namespace is not supported" anyway. But crashes are not nice, so back-patch to v10 where this syntax was added. Ordinarily we'd consider a parsetree representation change to be un-backpatchable; but since existing releases would crash on the way to storing such constructs, there can't be any existing views/rules to be incompatible with.

* Add outfuncs.c support for RawStmt nodes.Tom Lane2018-09-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I noticed while poking at a report from Andrey Lepikhov that the recent addition of RawStmt nodes at the top of raw parse trees makes it impossible to print any raw parse trees whatsoever, because outfuncs.c doesn't know RawStmt and hence fails to descend into it. While we generally lack outfuncs.c support for utility statements, there is reasonably complete support for what you can find in a raw SELECT statement. It was not my intention to make that all dead code ... so let's add support for RawStmt. Back-patch to v10 where RawStmt appeared.

* Fix failure with initplans used conditionally during EvalPlanQual rechecks.Tom Lane2018-09-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The EvalPlanQual machinery assumes that any initplans (that is, uncorrelated sub-selects) used during an EPQ recheck would have already been evaluated during the main query; this is implicit in the fact that execPlan pointers are not copied into the EPQ estate's es_param_exec_vals. But it's possible for that assumption to fail, if the initplan is only reached conditionally. For example, a sub-select inside a CASE expression could be reached during a recheck when it had not been previously, if the CASE test depends on a column that was just updated. This bug is old, appearing to date back to my rewrite of EvalPlanQual in commit 9f2ee8f28, but was not detected until Kyle Samson reported a case. To fix, force all not-yet-evaluated initplans used within the EPQ plan subtree to be evaluated at the start of the recheck, before entering the EPQ environment. This could be inefficient, if such an initplan is expensive and goes unused again during the recheck --- but that's piling one layer of improbability atop another. It doesn't seem worth adding more complexity to prevent that, at least not in the back branches. It was convenient to use the new-in-v11 ExecEvalParamExecParams function to implement this, but I didn't like either its name or the specifics of its API, so revise that. Back-patch all the way. Rather than rewrite the patch to avoid depending on bms_next_member() in the oldest branches, I chose to back-patch that function into 9.4 and 9.3. (This isn't the first time back-patches have needed that, and it exhausted my patience.) I also chose to back-patch some test cases added by commits 71404af2a and 342a1ffa2 into 9.4 and 9.3, so that the 9.x versions of eval-plan-qual.spec are all the same. Andrew Gierth diagnosed the problem and contributed the added test cases, though the actual code changes are by me.

* Fix ALTER/TYPE on columns referenced by FKs in partitioned tablesAlvaro Herrera2018-09-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When ALTER TABLE ... SET DATA TYPE affects a column referenced by constraints and indexes, it drop those constraints and indexes and recreates them afterwards, so that the definitions match the new data type. The original code did this by dropping one object at a time (commit 077db40fa1f3 of May 2004), which worked fine because the dependencies between the objects were pretty straightforward, and ordering the objects in a specific way was enough to make this work. However, when there are foreign key constraints in partitioned tables, the dependencies are no longer so straightforward, and we were getting errors when attempted: ERROR: cache lookup failed for constraint 16398 This can be fixed by doing all the drops in one pass instead, using performMultipleDeletions (introduced by df18c51f2955 of Aug 2006). With this change we can also remove the code to carefully order the list of objects to be deleted.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit c8ea87e4b introduced a temporary conversion buffer for substrings extracted during regexp splits.

* Remove ruleutils.c's special case for BIT [VARYING] literals.Tom Lane2018-09-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Up to now, get_const_expr() insisted on prefixing BIT and VARBIT literals with 'B'. That's not really necessary, because we always append explicit-cast syntax to identify the constant's type. Moreover, it's subtly wrong for VARBIT, because the parser will interpret B'...' as '...'::"bit"; see make_const() which explicitly assigns type BITOID for a T_BitString literal. So what had been a simple VARBIT literal is reconstructed as ('...'::"bit")::varbit, which is not the same thing, at least not before constant folding. This results in odd differences after dump/restore, as complained of by the patch submitter, and it could result in actual failures in partitioning or inheritance DDL operations (see commit 542320c2b, which repaired similar misbehaviors for some other data types). Fixing it is pretty easy: just remove the special case and let the default code path handle these types. We could have kept the special case for BIT only, but there seems little point in that. Like the previous patch, I judge that back-patching this into stable branches wouldn't be a good idea. However, it seems not quite too late for v11, so let's fix it there.

This bug originates in commit ccd6eb49a where traversalValue was introduced. Repair by traversing the stack before the context reset; this isn't ideal, since it means doing retail pfree in a context that's about to be reset, but the freeing of a stack entry is also done in other places in the code during the scan so it's not worth trying to refactor it further.

* Save/restore SPI's global variables in SPI_connect() and SPI_finish().Tom Lane2018-09-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch removes two sources of interference between nominally independent functions when one SPI-using function calls another, perhaps without knowing that it does so. Chapman Flack pointed out that xml.c's query_to_xml_internal() expects SPI_tuptable and SPI_processed to stay valid across datatype output function calls; but it's possible that such a call could involve re-entrant use of SPI. It seems likely that there are similar hazards elsewhere, if not in the core code then in third-party SPI users. Previously SPI_finish() reset SPI's API globals to zeroes/nulls, which would typically make for a crash in such a situation. Restoring them to the values they had at SPI_connect() seems like a considerably more useful behavior, and it still meets the design goal of not leaving any dangling pointers to tuple tables of the function being exited. Also, cause SPI_connect() to reset these variables to zeroes/nulls after saving them. This prevents interference in the opposite direction: it's possible that a SPI-using function that's only ever been tested standalone contains assumptions that these variables start out as zeroes. That was the case as long as you were the outermost SPI user, but not so much for an inner user. Now it's consistent. Report and fix suggestion by Chapman Flack, actual patch by me.

* Fix longstanding recursion hazard in sinval message processing.Tom Lane2018-09-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | LockRelationOid and sibling routines supposed that, if our session already holds the lock they were asked to acquire, they could skip calling AcceptInvalidationMessages on the grounds that we must have already read any remote sinval messages issued against the relation being locked. This is normally true, but there's a critical special case where it's not: processing inside AcceptInvalidationMessages might attempt to access system relations, resulting in a recursive call to acquire a relation lock. Hence, if the outer call had acquired that same system catalog lock, we'd fall through, despite the possibility that there's an as-yet-unread sinval message for that system catalog. This could, for example, result in failure to access a system catalog or index that had just been processed by VACUUM FULL. This is the explanation for buildfarm failures we've been seeing intermittently for the past three months. The bug is far older than that, but commits a54e1f158 et al added a new recursion case within AcceptInvalidationMessages that is apparently easier to hit than any previous case. To fix this, we must not skip calling AcceptInvalidationMessages until we have *finished* a call to it since acquiring a relation lock, not merely acquired the lock. (There's already adequate logic inside AcceptInvalidationMessages to deal with being called recursively.) Fortunately, we can implement that at trivial cost, by adding a flag to LOCALLOCK hashtable entries that tracks whether we know we have completed such a call. There is an API hazard added by this patch for external callers of LockAcquire: if anything is testing for LOCKACQUIRE_ALREADY_HELD, it might be fooled by the new return code LOCKACQUIRE_ALREADY_CLEAR into thinking the lock wasn't already held. This should be a fail-soft condition, though, unless something very bizarre is being done in response to the test. Also, I added an additional output argument to LockAcquireExtended, assuming that that probably isn't called by any outside code given the very limited usefulness of its additional functionality. Back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/12259.1532117714@sss.pgh.pa.us

* Simplify partitioned table creation vs. relcacheAlvaro Herrera2018-09-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the original code, we were storing the pg_inherits row for a partitioned table too early: enough that we had a hack for relcache to avoid falling flat on its face while reading such a partial entry. If we finish the pg_class creation first and *then* store the pg_inherits entry, we don't need that hack. Also recognize that pg_class.relpartbound is not marked NOT NULL and therefore it's entirely possible to read null values, so having only Assert() protection isn't enough. Change those to if/elog tests instead. This qualifies as a robustness fix, so backpatch to pg11. In passing, remove one access that wasn't actually needed, and reword one message to be like all the others that check for the same thing.

* Fully enforce uniqueness of constraint names.Tom Lane2018-09-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's been true for a long time that we expect names of table and domain constraints to be unique among the constraints of that table or domain. However, the enforcement of that has been pretty haphazard, and it missed some corner cases such as creating a CHECK constraint and then an index constraint of the same name (as per recent report from André Hänsel). Also, due to the lack of an actual unique index enforcing this, duplicates could be created through race conditions. Moreover, the code that searches pg_constraint has been quite inconsistent about how to handle duplicate names if one did occur: some places checked and threw errors if there was more than one match, while others just processed the first match they came to. To fix, create a unique index on (conrelid, contypid, conname). Since either conrelid or contypid is zero, this will separately enforce uniqueness of constraint names among constraints of any one table and any one domain. (If we ever implement SQL assertions, and put them into this catalog, more thought might be needed. But it'd be at least as reasonable to put them into a new catalog; having overloaded this one catalog with two kinds of constraints was a mistake already IMO.) This index can replace the existing non-unique index on conrelid, though we need to keep the one on contypid for query performance reasons. Having done that, we can simplify the logic in various places that either coped with duplicates or neglected to, as well as potentially improve lookup performance when searching for a constraint by name. Also, as per our usual practice, install a preliminary check so that you get something more friendly than a unique-index violation report in the case complained of by André. And teach ChooseIndexName to avoid choosing autogenerated names that would draw such a failure. While it's not possible to make such a change in the back branches, it doesn't seem quite too late to put this into v11, so do so.

So when spilling the change to disk, we've only we have serialized only the pointer to the relids array. Thanks to never releasing the array, the pointer however remained valid even after loading the change back to memory, preventing an actual crash. This fixes both the memory leak and (de)serialization. The relids array is still allocated in the main ReorderBuffer memory context (none of the existing ones seems like a good match, and adding an extra context seems like an overkill).

* Avoid using potentially-under-aligned page buffers.Tom Lane2018-09-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's a project policy against using plain "char buf[BLCKSZ]" local or static variables as page buffers; preferred style is to palloc or malloc each buffer to ensure it is MAXALIGN'd. However, that policy's been ignored in an increasing number of places. We've apparently got away with it so far, probably because (a) relatively few people use platforms on which misalignment causes core dumps and/or (b) the variables chance to be sufficiently aligned anyway. But this is not something to rely on. Moreover, even if we don't get a core dump, we might be paying a lot of cycles for misaligned accesses. To fix, invent new union types PGAlignedBlock and PGAlignedXLogBlock that the compiler must allocate with sufficient alignment, and use those in place of plain char arrays. I used these types even for variables where there's no risk of a misaligned access, since ensuring proper alignment should make kernel data transfers faster. I also changed some places where we had been palloc'ing short-lived buffers, for coding style uniformity and to save palloc/pfree overhead. Since this seems to be a live portability hazard (despite the lack of field reports), back-patch to all supported versions. Patch by me; thanks to Michael Paquier for review.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Startup process has improved its calculation of incorrect minimum consistent point in 8d68ee6, which ensures that all WAL available gets replayed when doing crash recovery, and has introduced an incorrect calculation of the minimum recovery point for non-startup processes, which can cause incorrect page references on a standby when for example the background writer flushed a couple of pages on-disk but was not updating the control file to let a subsequent crash recovery replay to where it should have. The only case where this has been reported to be a problem is when a standby needs to calculate the latest removed xid when replaying a btree deletion record, so one would need connections on a standby that happen just after recovery has thought it reached a consistent point. Using a background worker which is started after the consistent point is reached would be the easiest way to get into problems if it connects to a database. Having clients which attempt to connect periodically could also be a problem, but the odds of seeing this problem are much lower. The fix used is pretty simple, as the idea is to give access to the minimum recovery point written in the control file to non-startup processes so as they use a reference, while the startup process still initializes its own references of the minimum consistent point so as the original problem with incorrect page references happening post-promotion with a crash do not show up.

* Disable support for partitionwise joins in problematic cases.Etsuro Fujita2018-08-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit f49842d, which added support for partitionwise joins, built the child's tlist by applying adjust_appendrel_attrs() to the parent's. So in the case where the parent's included a whole-row Var for the parent, the child's contained a ConvertRowtypeExpr. To cope with that, that commit added code to the planner, such as setrefs.c, but some code paths still assumed that the tlist for a scan (or join) rel would only include Vars and PlaceHolderVars, which was true before that commit, causing errors: * When creating an explicit sort node for an input path for a mergejoin path for a child join, prepare_sort_from_pathkeys() threw the 'could not find pathkey item to sort' error. * When deparsing a relation participating in a pushed down child join as a subquery in contrib/postgres_fdw, get_relation_column_alias_ids() threw the 'unexpected expression in subquery output' error. * When performing set_plan_references() on a local join plan generated by contrib/postgres_fdw for EvalPlanQual support for a pushed down child join, fix_join_expr() threw the 'variable not found in subplan target lists' error. To fix these, two approaches have been proposed: one by Ashutosh Bapat and one by me. While the former keeps building the child's tlist with a ConvertRowtypeExpr, the latter builds it with a whole-row Var for the child not to violate the planner assumption, and tries to fix it up later, But both approaches need more work, so refuse to generate partitionwise join paths when whole-row Vars are involved, instead. We don't need to handle ConvertRowtypeExprs in the child's tlists for now, so this commit also removes the changes to the planner. Previously, partitionwise join computed attr_needed data for each child separately, and built the child join's tlist using that data, which also required an extra step for adding PlaceHolderVars to that tlist, but it would be more efficient to build it from the parent join's tlist through the adjust_appendrel_attrs() transformation. So this commit builds that list that way, and simplifies build_joinrel_tlist() and placeholder.c as well as part of set_append_rel_size() to basically what they were before partitionwise join went in. Back-patch to PG11 where partitionwise join was introduced. Report by Rajkumar Raghuwanshi. Analysis by Ashutosh Bapat, who also provided some of regression tests.

* Stop bgworkers during fast shutdown with postmaster in startup phaseMichael Paquier2018-08-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a postmaster gets into its phase PM_STARTUP, it would start background workers using BgWorkerStart_PostmasterStart mode immediately, which would cause problems for a fast shutdown as the postmaster forgets to send SIGTERM to already-started background workers. With smart and immediate shutdowns, this correctly happened, and fast shutdown is the only mode missing the shot.

* 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.

* Fix snapshot leak warning for some proceduresPeter Eisentraut2018-08-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The problem arises with the combination of CALL with output parameters and doing a COMMIT inside the procedure. When a CALL has output parameters, the portal uses the strategy PORTAL_UTIL_SELECT instead of PORTAL_MULTI_QUERY. Using PORTAL_UTIL_SELECT causes the portal's snapshot to be registered with the current resource owner (portal->holdSnapshot); see 9ee1cf04ab6bcefe03a11837b53f29ca9dc24c7a for the reason. Normally, PortalDrop() unregisters the snapshot. If not, then ResourceOwnerRelease() will print a warning about a snapshot leak on transaction commit. A transaction commit normally drops all portals (PreCommit_Portals()), except the active portal. So in case of the active portal, we need to manually release the snapshot to avoid the warning.

* Make syslogger more robust against failures in opening CSV log files.Tom Lane2018-08-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The previous coding figured it'd be good enough to postpone opening the first CSV log file until we got a message we needed to write there. This is unsafe, though, because if the open fails we end up in infinite recursion trying to report the failure. Instead make the CSV log file management code look as nearly as possible like the longstanding logic for the stderr log file. In particular, open it immediately at postmaster startup (if enabled), or when we get a SIGHUP in which we find that log_destination has been changed to enable CSV logging. It seems OK to fail if a postmaster-start-time open attempt fails, as we've long done for the stderr log file. But we can't die if we fail to open a CSV log file during SIGHUP, so we're still left with a problem. In that case, write any output meant for the CSV log file to the stderr log file. (This will also cover race-condition cases in which backends send CSV log data before or after we have the CSV log file open.) This patch also fixes an ancient oversight that, if CSV logging was turned off during a SIGHUP, we never actually closed the last CSV log file. In passing, remember to reset whereToSendOutput = DestNone during syslogger start, since (unlike all other postmaster children) it's forked before the postmaster has done that. This made for a platform-dependent difference in error reporting behavior between the syslogger and other children: except on Windows, it'd report problems to the original postmaster stderr as well as the normal error log file(s). It's barely possible that that was intentional at some point; but it doesn't seem likely to be desirable in production, and the platform dependency definitely isn't desirable. Per report from Alexander Kukushkin. It's been like this for a long time, so back-patch to all supported branches.

* Fix lexing of standard multi-character operators in edge cases.Andrew Gierth2018-08-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commits c6b3c939b (which fixed the precedence of >=, <=, <> operators) and 865f14a2d (which added support for the standard => notation for named arguments) created a class of lexer tokens which look like multi-character operators but which have their own token IDs distinct from Op. However, longest-match rules meant that following any of these tokens with another operator character, as in (1<>-1), would cause them to be incorrectly returned as Op. The error here isn't immediately obvious, because the parser would usually still find the correct operator via the Op token, but there were more subtle problems: 1. If immediately followed by a comment or +-, >= <= <> would be given the old precedence of Op rather than the correct new precedence; 2. If followed by a comment, != would be returned as Op rather than as NOT_EQUAL, causing it not to be found at all; 3. If followed by a comment or +-, the => token for named arguments would be lexed as Op, causing the argument to be mis-parsed as a simple expression, usually causing an error. Fix by explicitly checking for the operators in the {operator} code block in addition to all the existing special cases there. Backpatch to 9.5 where the problem was introduced.

* Reduce an unnecessary O(N^3) loop in lexer.Andrew Gierth2018-08-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | The lexer's handling of operators contained an O(N^3) hazard when dealing with long strings of + or - characters; it seems hard to prevent this case from being O(N^2), but the additional N multiplier was not needed. Backpatch all the way since this has been there since 7.x, and it presents at least a mild hazard in that trying to do Bind, PREPARE or EXPLAIN on a hostile query could take excessive time (without honouring cancels or timeouts) even if the query was never executed.

* doc: Update uses of the word "procedure"Peter Eisentraut2018-08-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Historically, the term procedure was used as a synonym for function in Postgres/PostgreSQL. Now we have procedures as separate objects from functions, so we need to clean up the documentation to not mix those terms. In particular, mentions of "trigger procedures" are changed to "trigger functions", and access method "support procedures" are changed to "support functions". (The latter already used FUNCTION in the SQL syntax anyway.) Also, the terminology in the SPI chapter has been cleaned up. A few tests, examples, and code comments are also adjusted to be consistent with documentation changes, but not everything. Reported-by: Peter Geoghegan <pg@bowt.ie> Reviewed-by: Jonathan S.
