* Fix transition tables for partition/inheritance.Andrew Gierth2017-06-28
| | | | | | | | | | | We disallow row-level triggers with transition tables on child tables. Transition tables for triggers on the parent table contain only those columns present in the parent. (We can't mix tuple formats in a single transition table.) Patch by Thomas Munro Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BTgmoZzTBBAsEUh4MazAN7ga%3D8SsMC-Knp-6cetts9yNZUCcg%40mail.gmail.com
* Second try at fixing tcp_keepalives_idle option on Solaris.Tom Lane2017-06-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Buildfarm evidence shows that TCP_KEEPALIVE_THRESHOLD doesn't exist after all on Solaris < 11. This means we need to take positive action to prevent the TCP_KEEPALIVE code path from being taken on that platform. I've chosen to limit it with "&& defined(__darwin__)", since it's unclear that anyone else would follow Apple's precedent of spelling the symbol that way. Also, follow a suggestion from Michael Paquier of eliminating code duplication by defining a couple of intermediate symbols for the socket option. In passing, make some effort to reduce the number of translatable messages by replacing "setsockopt(foo) failed" with "setsockopt(%s) failed", etc, throughout the affected files. And update relevant documentation so that it doesn't claim to provide an exhaustive list of the possible socket option names. Like the previous commit (f0256c774), back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20170627163757.25161.528@wrigleys.postgresql.org
* Support tcp_keepalives_idle option on Solaris.Tom Lane2017-06-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Turns out that the socket option for this is named TCP_KEEPALIVE_THRESHOLD, at least according to the tcp(7P) man page for Solaris 11. (But since that text refers to "SunOS", it's likely pretty ancient.) It appears that the symbol TCP_KEEPALIVE does get defined on that platform, but it doesn't seem to represent a valid protocol-level socket option. This leads to bleats in the postmaster log, and no tcp_keepalives_idle functionality. Per bug #14720 from Andrey Lizenko, as well as an earlier report from Dhiraj Chawla that nobody had followed up on. The issue's been there since we added the TCP_KEEPALIVE code path in commit 5acd417c8, so back-patch to all supported branches.

* Re-allow SRFs and window functions within sub-selects within aggregates.Tom Lane2017-06-27
| | | | | | | | | | | check_agg_arguments_walker threw an error upon seeing a SRF or window function, but that is too aggressive: if the function is within a sub-select then it's perfectly fine. I broke the SRF case in commit 0436f6bde by copying the logic for window functions ... but that was broken too, and had been since commit eaccfded9. Repair both cases in HEAD, and the window function case back to 9.3. 9.2 gets this right.
* Don't lose walreceiver start requests due to race condition in postmaster.Tom Lane2017-06-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a walreceiver dies, the startup process will notice that and send a PMSIGNAL_START_WALRECEIVER signal to the postmaster, asking for a new walreceiver to be launched. There's a race condition, which at least in HEAD is very easy to hit, whereby the postmaster might see that signal before it processes the SIGCHLD from the walreceiver process. In that situation, sigusr1_handler() just dropped the start request on the floor, reasoning that it must be redundant. Eventually, after 10 seconds (WALRCV_STARTUP_TIMEOUT), the startup process would make a fresh request --- but that's a long time if the connection could have been re-established almost immediately. Fix it by setting a state flag inside the postmaster that we won't clear until we do launch a walreceiver. In cases where that results in an extra walreceiver launch, it's up to the walreceiver to realize it's unwanted and go away --- but we have, and need, that logic anyway for the opposite race case. I came across this through investigating unexpected delays in the src/test/recovery TAP tests: it manifests there in test cases where a master server is stopped and restarted while leaving streaming slaves active. This logic has been broken all along, so back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/21344.1498494720@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Ignore old stats file timestamps when starting the stats collector.Tom Lane2017-06-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The stats collector disregards inquiry messages that bear a cutoff_time before when it last wrote the relevant stats file. That's fine, but at startup when it reads the "permanent" stats files, it absorbed their timestamps as if they were the times at which the corresponding temporary stats files had been written. In reality, of course, there's no data out there at all. This led to disregarding inquiry messages soon after startup if the postmaster had been shut down and restarted within less than PGSTAT_STAT_INTERVAL; which is a pretty common scenario, both for testing and in the field. Requesting backends would hang for 10 seconds and then report failure to read statistics, unless they got bailed out by some other backend coming along and making a newer request within that interval. I came across this through investigating unexpected delays in the src/test/recovery TAP tests: it manifests there because the autovacuum launcher hangs for 10 seconds when it can't get statistics at startup, thus preventing a second shutdown from occurring promptly. We might want to do some things in the autovac code to make it less prone to getting stuck that way, but this change is a good bug fix regardless. In passing, also fix pgstat_read_statsfiles() to ensure that it re-zeroes its global stats variables if they are corrupted by a short read from the stats file. (Other reads in that function go into temp variables, so that the issue doesn't arise.) This has been broken since we created the separation between permanent and temporary stats files in 8.4, so back-patch to all supported branches.

* Minor code review for parse_phrase_operator().Tom Lane2017-06-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix its header comment, which described the old behavior of the <N> phrase distance operator; we missed updating that in commit 028350f61. Also, reset errno before strtol() call, to defend against the possibility that it was already ERANGE at entry. (The lack of complaints says that it generally isn't, but this is at least a latent bug.) Very minor stylistic improvements as well. Victor Drobny noted the obsolete comment, I noted the errno issue. Back-patch to 9.6 where this code was added, just in case the errno issue is a live bug in some cases. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/2b5382fdff9b1f79d5eb2c99c4d2cbe2@postgrespro.ru
* Further hacking on ICU collation creation and usage.Tom Lane2017-06-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | pg_import_system_collations() refused to create any ICU collations if the current database's encoding didn't support ICU. This is wrongheaded: initdb must initialize pg_collation in an encoding-independent way since it might be used in other databases with different encodings. The reason for the restriction seems to be that get_icu_locale_comment() used icu_from_uchar() to convert the UChar-format display name, and that unsurprisingly doesn't know what to do in unsupported encodings. But by the same token that the initial catalog contents must be encoding-independent, we can't allow non-ASCII characters in the comment strings. So we don't really need icu_from_uchar() here: just check for Unicode codes outside the ASCII range, and if there are none, the format conversion is trivial. If there are some, we can simply not install the comment. (In my testing, this affects only Norwegian Bokmål, which has given us trouble before.) For paranoia's sake, also check for non-ASCII characters in ICU locale names, and skip such locales, as we do for libc locales. I don't currently have a reason to believe that this will ever reject anything, but then again the libc maintainers should have known better too. With just the import changes, ICU collations can be found in pg_collation in databases with unsupported encodings. This resulted in more or less clean failures at runtime, but that's not how things act for unsupported encodings with libc collations. Make it work the same as our traditional behavior for libc collations by having collation lookup take into account whether is_encoding_supported_by_icu(). Adjust documentation to match. Also, expand Table 23.1 to show which encodings are supported by ICU. catversion bump because of likely change in pg_collation/pg_description initial contents in ICU-enabled builds.

* Fix incorrect buffer-length argument to uloc_getDisplayName().Tom Lane2017-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The maxResultSize argument of uloc_getDisplayName is the number of UChars in the output buffer, not the number of bytes. In principle this could result in a stack smash, although at least in my Fedora 25 install there are no ICU locales with display names long enough to overrun the buffer. But it's easily proven to be wrong by reducing the length of displayname to around 20, whereupon a stack smash does happen. (This is a rather scary bug, because the same mistake could easily have been made in other places; but in a quick code search looking at uses of UChar I could not find any other instances.)
* Fix replication with replica identity fullPeter Eisentraut2017-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | The comparison with the target rows on the subscriber side was done with datumIsEqual(), which can have false negatives. For instance, it didn't work reliably for text columns.

* Rethink behavior of pg_import_system_collations().Tom Lane2017-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Marco Atzeri reported that initdb would fail if "locale -a" reported the same locale name more than once. All previous versions of Postgres implicitly de-duplicated the results of "locale -a", but the rewrite to move the collation import logic into C had lost that property. It had also lost the property that locale names matching built-in collation names were silently ignored. The simplest way to fix this is to make initdb run the function in if-not-exists mode, which means that there's no real use-case for non if-not-exists mode; we might as well just drop the boolean argument and simplify the function's definition to be "add any collations not already known". This change also gets rid of some odd corner cases caused by the fact that aliases were added in if-not-exists mode even if the function argument said otherwise. While at it, adjust the behavior so that pg_import_system_collations() doesn't spew "collation foo already exists, skipping" messages during a re-run; that's completely unhelpful, especially since there are often hundreds of them. And make it return a count of the number of collations it did add, which seems like it might be helpful. Also, re-integrate the previous coding's property that it would make a deterministic selection of which alias to use if there were conflicting possibilities. This would only come into play if "locale -a" reports multiple equivalent locale names, say "de_DE.utf8" and "de_DE.UTF-8", but that hardly seems out of the question. In passing, fix incorrect behavior in pg_import_system_collations()'s ICU code path: it neglected CommandCounterIncrement, which would result in failures if ICU returns duplicate names, and it would try to create comments even if a new collation hadn't been created. Also, reorder operations in initdb so that the 'ucs_basic' collation is created before calling pg_import_system_collations() not after. This prevents a failure if "locale -a" were to report a locale named that. There's no reason to think that that ever happens in the wild, but the old coding would have survived it, so let's be equally robust.

* Improve replication lag interpolation after idle periodSimon Riggs2017-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | After sitting idle and fully replayed for a while and then encountering a new burst of WAL activity, we interpolate between an ancient sample and the not-yet-reached one for the new traffic. That produced a corner case report of lag after receiving first new reply from standby, which might sometimes be a large spike. Correct this by resetting last_read time and handle that new case.

* Fix memory leakage in ICU encoding conversion, and other code review.Tom Lane2017-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Callers of icu_to_uchar() neglected to pfree the result string when done with it. This results in catastrophic memory leaks in varstr_cmp(), because of our prevailing assumption that btree comparison functions don't leak memory. For safety, make all the call sites clean up leaks, though I suspect that we could get away without it in formatting.c. I audited callers of icu_from_uchar() as well, but found no places that seemed to have a comparable issue. Add function API specifications for icu_to_uchar() and icu_from_uchar(); the lack of any thought-through specification is perhaps not unrelated to the existence of this bug in the first place. Fix icu_to_uchar() to guarantee a nul-terminated result; although no existing caller appears to care, the fact that it would have been nul-terminated except in extreme corner cases seems ideally designed to bite someone on the rear someday. Fix ucnv_fromUChars() destCapacity argument --- in the worst case, that could perhaps have led to a non-nul-terminated result, too. Fix icu_from_uchar() to have a more reasonable definition of the function result --- no callers are actually paying attention, so this isn't a live bug, but it's certainly sloppily designed. Const-ify icu_from_uchar()'s input string for consistency. That is not the end of what needs to be done to these functions, but it's as much as I have the patience for right now.

* Fix autovacuum launcher attachment to its DSAAlvaro Herrera2017-06-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The autovacuum launcher doesn't actually do anything with its DSA other than creating it and attaching to it, but it's been observed that after longjmp'ing to the standard error handling block (for example after getting SIGINT) the autovacuum enters an infinite loop reporting that it cannot attach to its DSA anymore (which is correct, because it's already attached to it.)

* Fix possibility of creating a "phantom" segment after promotion.Andres Freund2017-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When promoting a standby just after a XLOG_SWITCH record was replayed, and next segment(s) are already are locally available (via walsender, restore_command + trigger/recovery target), that segment could accidentally be recycled onto the past of the new timeline. Later checkpointer would create a .ready file for it, assuming there was an error during creation, and it would get archived. That causes trouble if another standby is later brought up from a basebackup from before the timeline creation, because it would try to read the segment, because XLogFileReadAnyTLI just tries all possible timelines, which doesn't have valid contents. Thus replay would fail. The problem, if already occurred, can be fixed by removing the segment and/or having restore_command filter it out. The reason for the creation of such "phantom" segments was, that after an XLOG_SWITCH record the EndOfLog variable points to the beginning of the next segment, and RemoveXlogFile() used XLByteToPrevSeg(). Normally RemoveXlogFile() doing so is harmless, because the last segment will still exist preventing InstallXLogFileSegment() from causing harm, but just after promotion there's no previous segment on the new timeline. Fix that by using XLByteToSeg() instead of XLByteToPrevSeg().

* Manually un-break a few URLs that pgindent used to insist on splitting.Tom Lane2017-06-21

* Phase 3 of pgindent updates.Tom Lane2017-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Don't move parenthesized lines to the left, even if that means they flow past the right margin. By default, BSD indent lines up statement continuation lines that are within parentheses so that they start just to the right of the preceding left parenthesis. However, traditionally, if that resulted in the continuation line extending to the right of the desired right margin, then indent would push it left just far enough to not overrun the margin, if it could do so without making the continuation line start to the left of the current statement indent. That makes for a weird mix of indentations unless one has been completely rigid about never violating the 80-column limit. This behavior has been pretty universally panned by Postgres developers. Hence, disable it with indent's new -lpl switch, so that parenthesized lines are always lined up with the preceding left paren. This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

* Phase 2 of pgindent updates.Tom Lane2017-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change pg_bsd_indent to follow upstream rules for placement of comments to the right of code, and remove pgindent hack that caused comments following #endif to not obey the general rule. Commit e3860ffa4dd0dad0dd9eea4be9cc1412373a8c89 wasn't actually using the published version of pg_bsd_indent, but a hacked-up version that tried to minimize the amount of movement of comments to the right of code. The situation of interest is where such a comment has to be moved to the right of its default placement at column 33 because there's code there. BSD indent has always moved right in units of tab stops in such cases --- but in the previous incarnation, indent was working in 8-space tab stops, while now it knows we use 4-space tabs. So the net result is that in about half the cases, such comments are placed one tab stop left of before. This is better all around: it leaves more room on the line for comment text, and it means that in such cases the comment uniformly starts at the next 4-space tab stop after the code, rather than sometimes one and sometimes two tabs after. Also, ensure that comments following #endif are indented the same as comments following other preprocessor commands such as #else. That inconsistency turns out to have been self-inflicted damage from a poorly-thought-through post-indent "fixup" in pgindent. This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

* Initial pgindent run with pg_bsd_indent version 2.0.Tom Lane2017-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new indent version includes numerous fixes thanks to Piotr Stefaniak. The main changes visible in this commit are: * Nicer formatting of function-pointer declarations. * No longer unexpectedly removes spaces in expressions using casts, sizeof, or offsetof. * No longer wants to add a space in "struct structname *varname", as well as some similar cases for const- or volatile-qualified pointers. * Declarations using PG_USED_FOR_ASSERTS_ONLY are formatted more nicely. * Fixes bug where comments following declarations were sometimes placed with no space separating them from the code. * Fixes some odd decisions for comments following case labels. * Fixes some cases where comments following code were indented to less than the expected column 33. On the less good side, it now tends to put more whitespace around typedef names that are not listed in typedefs.list. This might encourage us to put more effort into typedef name collection; it's not really a bug in indent itself. There are more changes coming after this round, having to do with comment indentation and alignment of lines appearing within parentheses. I wanted to limit the size of the diffs to something that could be reviewed without one's eyes completely glazing over, so it seemed better to split up the changes as much as practical.

* Don't downcase entries within shared_preload_libraries et al.Tom Lane2017-06-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | load_libraries(), which processes the various xxx_preload_libraries GUCs, was parsing them using SplitIdentifierString() which isn't really appropriate for values that could be path names: it downcases unquoted text, and it doesn't allow embedded whitespace unless quoted. Use SplitDirectoriesString() instead. That also allows us to simplify load_libraries() a bit, since canonicalize_path() is now done for it. While this definitely seems like a bug fix, it has the potential to break configuration settings that accidentally worked before because of the downcasing behavior. Also, there's an easy workaround for the bug, namely to double-quote troublesome text. Hence, no back-patch.

* Tweak publication fetching in psqlPeter Eisentraut2017-06-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Viewing a table with \d in psql also shows the publications at table is in. If a publication is concurrently dropped, this shows an error, because the view pg_publication_tables internally uses pg_get_publication_tables(), which uses a catalog snapshot. This can be particularly annoying if a for-all-tables publication is concurrently dropped. To avoid that, write the query in psql differently. Expose the function pg_relation_is_publishable() to SQL and write the query using that. That still has a risk of being affected by concurrent catalog changes, but in this case it would be a table drop that causes problems, and then the psql \d command wouldn't be interesting anymore anyway.

* Avoid regressions in foreign-key-based selectivity estimates.Tom Lane2017-06-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | David Rowley found that the "use the smallest per-column selectivity" heuristic applied in some cases by get_foreign_key_join_selectivity() was badly off if the FK columns are independent, producing estimates much worse than we got before that code was added in 9.6. One case where that heuristic was used was for LEFT and FULL outer joins with the referenced rel on the outside of the join. But we should not really need to special-case those here. eqjoinsel() never has had such a special case; the correction is applied by calc_joinrel_size_estimate() instead. Let's just estimate such cases like inner joins and rely on that later adjustment. (I think there was something of a thinko here, in that the comments seem to be thinking about the selectivity as defined for semi/anti joins; but that shouldn't apply to left/full joins.) Add a regression test exercising such a case to show that this is sane in at least some cases. The other case where we used that heuristic was for SEMI/ANTI outer joins, either if the referenced rel was on the outside, or if it was on the inside but was part of a join within the RHS. In either case, the FK doesn't give us a lot of traction towards estimating the selectivity. To ensure that we don't have regressions from what happened before 9.6, let's punt by ignoring the FK in such cases and applying the traditional selectivity calculation. (We might be able to improve on that later, but for now I just want to be sure it's not worse than 9.5.) Report and patch by David Rowley, simplified a bit by me. Back-patch to 9.6 where this code was added. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAKJS1f8NO8oCDcxrteohG6O72uU1saEVT9qX=R8pENr5QWerXw@mail.gmail.com
* Fix leaking of small spilled subtransactions during logical decoding.Andres Freund2017-06-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When, during logical decoding, a transaction gets too big, it's contents get spilled to disk. Not just the top-transaction gets spilled, but *also* all of its subtransactions, even if they're not that large themselves. Unfortunately we didn't clean up such small spilled subtransactions from disk. Fix that, by keeping better track of whether a transaction has been spilled to disk.

* Fix dependency, when changing a function's argument/return type.Heikki Linnakangas2017-06-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | When a new base type is created using the old-style procedure of first creating the input/output functions with "opaque" in place of the base type, the "opaque" argument/return type is changed to the final base type, on CREATE TYPE. However, we did not create a pg_depend record when doing that, so the functions were left not depending on the type. Fixes bug #14706, reported by Karen Huddleston.

* Fix low-probability leaks of PGresult objects in the backend.Tom Lane2017-06-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We had three occurrences of essentially the same coding pattern wherein we tried to retrieve a query result from a libpq connection without blocking. In the case where PQconsumeInput failed (typically indicating a lost connection), all three loops simply gave up and returned, forgetting to clear any previously-collected PGresult object. Since those are malloc'd not palloc'd, the oversight results in a process-lifespan memory leak. One instance, in libpqwalreceiver, is of little significance because the walreceiver process would just quit anyway if its connection fails. But we might as well fix it. The other two instances, in postgres_fdw, are somewhat more worrisome because at least in principle the scenario could be repeated, allowing the amount of memory leaked to build up to something worth worrying about. Moreover, in these cases the loops contain CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS calls, as well as other calls that could potentially elog(ERROR), providing another way to exit without having cleared the PGresult. Here we need to add PG_TRY logic similar to what exists in quite a few other places in postgres_fdw. Coverity noted the libpqwalreceiver bug; I found the other two cases by checking all calls of PQconsumeInput. Back-patch to all supported versions as appropriate (9.2 lacks postgres_fdw, so this is really quite unexciting for that branch). Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/22620.1497486981@sss.pgh.pa.us

* Don't force-assign transaction id when exporting a snapshot.Andres Freund2017-06-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously we required every exported transaction to have an xid assigned. That was used to check that the exporting transaction is still running, which in turn is needed to guarantee that that necessary rows haven't been removed in between exporting and importing the snapshot. The exported xid caused unnecessary problems with logical decoding, because slot creation has to wait for all concurrent xid to finish, which in turn serializes concurrent slot creation. It also prohibited snapshots to be exported on hot-standby replicas. Instead export the virtual transactionid, which avoids the unnecessary serialization and the inability to export snapshots on standbys. This changes the file name of the exported snapshot, but since we never documented what that one means, that seems ok.

* Teach predtest.c about CHECK clauses to fix partitioning bugs.Robert Haas2017-06-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In a CHECK clause, a null result means true, whereas in a WHERE clause it means false. predtest.c provided different functions depending on which set of semantics applied to the predicate being proved, but had no option to control what a null meant in the clauses provided as axioms. Add one. Use that in the partitioning code when figuring out whether the validation scan on a new partition can be skipped. Rip out the old logic that attempted (not very successfully) to compensate for the absence of the necessary support in predtest.c.
