* On attach, consider skipping validation of subpartitions individually.Robert Haas2017-10-05
| | | | | | | | | | | If the table attached as a partition is itself partitioned, individual partitions might have constraints strong enough to skip scanning the table even if the table actually attached does not. This is pretty cheap to check, and possibly a big win if it works out. Amit Langote, with test case changes by me. Discussion: http://postgr.es/m/1f08b844-0078-aa8d-452e-7af3bf77d05f@lab.ntt.co.jp

Various cosmetic changes by me to explain why this appears to be safe but allowing inserts in parallel mode in general wouldn't be.

* Fix race condition with unprotected use of a latch pointer variable.Tom Lane2017-10-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 597a87ccc introduced a latch pointer variable to replace use of a long-lived shared latch in the shared WalRcvData structure. This was not well thought out, because there are now hazards of the pointer variable changing while it's being inspected by another process. This could obviously lead to a core dump in code like if (WalRcv->latch) SetLatch(WalRcv->latch); and there's a more remote risk of a torn read, if we have any platforms where reading/writing a pointer is not atomic. An actual problem would occur only if the walreceiver process exits (gracefully) while the startup process is trying to signal it, but that seems well within the realm of possibility. To fix, treat the pointer variable (not the referenced latch) as being protected by the WalRcv->mutex spinlock. There remains a race condition that we could apply SetLatch to a process latch that no longer belongs to the walreceiver, but I believe that's harmless: at worst it'd cause an extra wakeup of the next process to use that PGPROC structure. Back-patch to v10 where the faulty code was added. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/22735.1507048202@sss.pgh.pa.us

* Support arrays over domains.Tom Lane2017-09-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allowing arrays with a domain type as their element type was left un-done in the original domain patch, but not for any very good reason. This omission leads to such surprising results as array_agg() not working on a domain column, because the parser can't identify a suitable output type for the polymorphic aggregate. In order to fix this, first clean up the APIs of coerce_to_domain() and some internal functions in parse_coerce.c so that we consistently pass around a CoercionContext along with CoercionForm. Previously, we sometimes passed an "isExplicit" boolean flag instead, which is strictly less information; and coerce_to_domain() didn't even get that, but instead had to reverse-engineer isExplicit from CoercionForm. That's contrary to the documentation in primnodes.h that says that CoercionForm only affects display and not semantics. I don't think this change fixes any live bugs, but it makes things more consistent. The main reason for doing it though is that now build_coercion_expression() receives ccontext, which it needs in order to be able to recursively invoke coerce_to_target_type(). Next, reimplement ArrayCoerceExpr so that the node does not directly know any details of what has to be done to the individual array elements while performing the array coercion. Instead, the per-element processing is represented by a sub-expression whose input is a source array element and whose output is a target array element. This simplifies life in parse_coerce.c, because it can build that sub-expression by a recursive invocation of coerce_to_target_type(). The executor now handles the per-element processing as a compiled expression instead of hard-wired code. The main advantage of this is that we can use a single ArrayCoerceExpr to handle as many as three successive steps per element: base type conversion, typmod coercion, and domain constraint checking. The old code used two stacked ArrayCoerceExprs to handle type + typmod coercion, which was pretty inefficient, and adding yet another array deconstruction to do domain constraint checking seemed very unappetizing. In the case where we just need a single, very simple coercion function, doing this straightforwardly leads to a noticeable increase in the per-array-element runtime cost. Hence, add an additional shortcut evalfunc in execExprInterp.c that skips unnecessary overhead for that specific form of expression. The runtime speed of simple cases is within 1% or so of where it was before, while cases that previously required two levels of array processing are significantly faster. Finally, create an implicit array type for every domain type, as we do for base types, enums, etc. Everything except the array-coercion case seems to just work without further effort.

* Fix inadequate locking during get_rel_oids().Tom Lane2017-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | get_rel_oids used to not take any relation locks at all, but that stopped being a good idea with commit 3c3bb9933, which inserted a syscache lookup into the function. A concurrent DROP TABLE could now produce "cache lookup failed", which we don't want to have happen in normal operation. The best solution seems to be to transiently take a lock on the relation named by the RangeVar (which also makes the result of RangeVarGetRelid a lot less spongy). But we shouldn't hold the lock beyond this function, because we don't want VACUUM to lock more than one table at a time. (That would not be a big problem right now, but it will become one after the pending feature patch to allow multiple tables to be named in VACUUM.) In passing, adjust vacuum_rel and analyze_rel to document that we don't trust the passed RangeVar to be accurate, and allow the RangeVar to possibly be NULL --- which it is anyway for a whole-database VACUUM, though we accidentally didn't crash for that case. The passed RangeVar is in fact inaccurate when dealing with a child partition, as of v10, and it has been wrong for a whole long time in the case of vacuum_rel() recursing to a TOAST table. None of these things present visible bugs up to now, because the passed RangeVar is in fact only consulted for autovacuum logging, and in that particular context it's always accurate because autovacuum doesn't let vacuum.c expand partitions nor recurse to toast tables. Still, this seems like trouble waiting to happen, so let's nail the door at least partly shut. (Further cleanup is planned, in HEAD only, as part of the pending feature patch.) Fix some sadly inaccurate/obsolete comments too. Back-patch to v10. Michael Paquier and Tom Lane Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/25023.1506107590@sss.pgh.pa.us

* Add background worker typePeter Eisentraut2017-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add bgw_type field to background worker structure. It is intended to be set to the same value for all workers of the same type, so they can be grouped in pg_stat_activity, for example. The backend_type column in pg_stat_activity now shows bgw_type for a background worker. The ps listing also no longer calls out that a process is a background worker but just show the bgw_type. That way, being a background worker is more of an implementation detail now that is not shown to the user. However, most log messages still refer to 'background worker "%s"'; otherwise constructing sensible and translatable log messages would become tricky.

* Remove replacement selection sort.Robert Haas2017-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At the time replacement_sort_tuples was introduced, there were still cases where replacement selection sort noticeably outperformed using quicksort even for the first run. However, those cases seem to have evaporated as a result of further improvements made since that time (and perhaps also advances in CPU technology).

* Fix freezing of a dead HOT-updated tupleAlvaro Herrera2017-09-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Vacuum calls page-level HOT prune to remove dead HOT tuples before doing liveness checks (HeapTupleSatisfiesVacuum) on the remaining tuples. But concurrent transaction commit/abort may turn DEAD some of the HOT tuples that survived the prune, before HeapTupleSatisfiesVacuum tests them. This happens to activate the code that decides to freeze the tuple ... which resuscitates it, duplicating data. (This is especially bad if there's any unique constraints, because those are now internally violated due to the duplicate entries, though you won't know until you try to REINDEX or dump/restore the table.) One possible fix would be to simply skip doing anything to the tuple, and hope that the next HOT prune would remove it. But there is a problem: if the tuple is older than freeze horizon, this would leave an unfrozen XID behind, and if no HOT prune happens to clean it up before the containing pg_clog segment is truncated away, it'd later cause an error when the XID is looked up. Fix the problem by having the tuple freezing routines cope with the situation: don't freeze the tuple (and keep it dead). In the cases that the XID is older than the freeze age, set the HEAP_XMAX_COMMITTED flag so that there is no need to look up the XID in pg_clog later on. An isolation test is included, authored by Michael Paquier, loosely based on Daniel Wood's original reproducer. It only tests one particular scenario, though, not all the possible ways for this problem to surface; it be good to have a more reliable way to test this more fully, but it'd require more work.

* 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.

* Remove heuristic same-transaction test from check_safe_enum_use().Tom Lane2017-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The blacklist mechanism added by the preceding commit directly fixes most of the practical cases that the same-transaction test was meant to cover. What remains is use-cases like begin; create type e as enum('x'); alter type e add value 'y'; -- use 'y' somehow commit; However, because the same-transaction test is heuristic, it fails on small variants of that, such as renaming the type or changing its owner. Rather than try to explain the behavior to users, let's remove it and just have a rule that the newly added value can't be used before being committed, full stop.

* Use a blacklist to distinguish original from add-on enum values.Tom Lane2017-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 15bc038f9 allowed ALTER TYPE ADD VALUE to be executed inside transaction blocks, by disallowing the use of the added value later in the same transaction, except under limited circumstances. However, the test for "limited circumstances" was heuristic and could reject references to enum values that were created during CREATE TYPE AS ENUM, not just later. This breaks the use-case of restoring pg_dump scripts in a single transaction, as reported in bug #14825 from Balazs Szilfai. We can improve this by keeping a "blacklist" table of enum value OIDs created by ALTER TYPE ADD VALUE during the current transaction. Any visible-but-uncommitted value whose OID is not in the blacklist must have been created by CREATE TYPE AS ENUM, and can be used safely because it could not have a lifespan shorter than its parent enum type. This change also removes the restriction that a renamed enum value can't be used before being committed (unless it was on the blacklist). Andrew Dunstan, with cosmetic improvements by me.

* Handle heap rewrites better in logical replicationPeter Eisentraut2017-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A FOR ALL TABLES publication naturally considers all base tables to be a candidate for replication. This includes transient heaps that are created during a table rewrite during DDL. This causes failures on the subscriber side because it will not have a table like pg_temp_16386 to receive data (and if it did, it would be the wrong table). The prevent this problem, we filter out any tables that match this naming pattern and match an actual table from FOR ALL TABLES publications. This is only a heuristic, meaning that user tables that match that naming could accidentally be omitted. A more robust solution might require an explicit marking of such tables in pg_class somehow.

* Avoid SIGBUS on Linux when a DSM memory request overruns tmpfs.Tom Lane2017-09-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On Linux, shared memory segments created with shm_open() are backed by swap files created in tmpfs. If the swap file needs to be extended, but there's no tmpfs space left, you get a very unfriendly SIGBUS trap. To avoid this, force allocation of the full request size when we create the segment. This adds a few cycles, but none that we wouldn't expend later anyway, assuming the request isn't hugely bigger than the actual need. Make this code #ifdef __linux__, because (a) there's not currently a reason to think the same problem exists on other platforms, and (b) applying posix_fallocate() to an FD created by shm_open() isn't very portable anyway.

* Make construct_[md_]array return a valid empty array for zero-size input.Tom Lane2017-09-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If construct_array() or construct_md_array() were given a dimension of zero, they'd produce an array that contains no elements but has positive dimension. This violates a general expectation that empty arrays should have ndims = 0; in particular, while arrays like this print as empty, they don't compare equal to other empty arrays. Up to now we've expected callers to avoid making such calls and instead be careful to call construct_empty_array() if there would be no elements. But this has always been an easily missed case, and we've repeatedly had to fix callers to do it right. In bug #14826, Erwin Brandstetter pointed out yet another such oversight, in ts_lexize(); and a bit of examination of other call sites found at least two more with similar issues. So let's fix the problem centrally and permanently by changing these two functions to construct a proper zero-D empty array whenever the array would be empty. This renders a few explicit calls of construct_empty_array() redundant, but the only such place I found that really seemed worth changing was in ExecEvalArrayExpr(). Although this fixes some very old bugs, no back-patch: the problem is pretty minor and the risk of changing behavior seems to outweigh the benefit in stable branches.

* Refactor new file permission handlingPeter Eisentraut2017-09-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The file handling functions from fd.c were called with a diverse mix of notations for the file permissions when they were opening new files. Almost all files created by the server should have the same permissions set. So change the API so that e.g. OpenTransientFile() automatically uses the standard permissions set, and OpenTransientFilePerm() is a new function that takes an explicit permissions set for the few cases where it is needed. This also saves an unnecessary argument for call sites that are just opening an existing file. While we're reviewing these APIs, get rid of the FileName typedef and use the standard const char * for the file name and mode_t for the file mode. This makes these functions match other file handling functions and removes an unnecessary layer of mysteriousness. We can also get rid of a few casts that way.

* Fix saving and restoring umaskPeter Eisentraut2017-09-22
| | | | | | In two cases, we set a different umask for some piece of code and restore it afterwards. But if the contained code errors out, the umask is not restored. So add TRY/CATCH blocks to fix that.

* hash: Implement page-at-a-time scan.Robert Haas2017-09-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 09cb5c0e7d6fbc9dee26dc429e4fc0f2a88e5272 added a similar optimization to btree back in 2006, but nobody bothered to implement the same thing for hash indexes, probably because they weren't WAL-logged and had lots of other performance problems as well. As with the corresponding btree case, this eliminates the problem of potentially needing to refind our position within the page, and cuts down on pin/unpin traffic as well.

* Mop-up for commit 85feb77aa09cda9ff3e12cf95c757c499dc25343.Tom Lane2017-09-22
| | | | | | | | | | Adjust commentary in regc_pg_locale.c to remove mention of the possibility of not having <wctype.h> functions, since we no longer consider that. Eliminate duplicate code in wparser_def.c by generalizing the p_iswhat macro to take a parameter saying what to return for non-ASCII chars in C locale. (That's not really a consequence of the USE_WIDE_UPPER_LOWER-ectomy, but I noticed it while doing that.)
* Assume wcstombs(), towlower(), and sibling functions are always present.Tom Lane2017-09-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These functions are required by SUS v2, which is our minimum baseline for Unix platforms, and are present on all interesting Windows versions as well. Even our oldest buildfarm members have them. Thus, we were not testing the "!USE_WIDE_UPPER_LOWER" code paths, which explains why the bug fixed in commit e6023ee7f escaped detection. Per discussion, there seems to be no more real-world value in maintaining this option. Hence, remove the configure-time tests for wcstombs() and towlower(), remove the USE_WIDE_UPPER_LOWER symbol, and remove all the !USE_WIDE_UPPER_LOWER code. There's not actually all that much of the latter, but simplifying the #if nests is a win in itself. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20170921052928.GA188913@rfd.leadboat.com

* Give a better error for duplicate entries in VACUUM/ANALYZE column list.Tom Lane2017-09-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, the code didn't think about this case and would just try to analyze such a column twice. That would fail at the point of inserting the second version of the pg_statistic row, with obscure error messsages like "duplicate key value violates unique constraint" or "tuple already updated by self", depending on context and PG version. We could allow the case by ignoring duplicate column specifications, but it seems better to reject it explicitly. The bogus error messages seem like arguably a bug, so back-patch to all supported versions. Nathan Bossart, per a report from Michael Paquier, and whacked around a bit by me.

* Quieten warnings about unused variablesAndrew Dunstan2017-09-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | These variables are only ever written to in assertion-enabled builds, and the latest Microsoft compilers complain about such variables in non-assertion-enabled builds. Apparently they don't worry so much about variables that are written to but not read from, so most of our PG_USED_FOR_ASSERTS_ONLY variables don't cause the problem.

* Improve dubious memory management in pg_newlocale_from_collation().Tom Lane2017-09-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | pg_newlocale_from_collation() used malloc() and strdup() directly, which is generally not per backend coding style, and it didn't bother to check for failure results, but would just SIGSEGV instead. Also, if one of the numerous error checks in the middle of the function failed, the already-allocated memory would be leaked permanently. Admittedly, it's not a lot of memory, but it could build up if this function were called repeatedly for a bad collation. The first two problems are easily cured by palloc'ing in TopMemoryContext instead of calling libc directly. We can fairly easily dodge the leakage problem for the struct pg_locale_struct by filling in a temporary variable and allocating permanent storage only once we reach the bottom of the function. It's harder to get rid of the potential leakage for ICU's copy of the collcollate string, but at least that's only allocated after most of the error checks; so live with that aspect. Back-patch to v10 where this code came in, with one or another of the ICU patches.
