* Fix subquery reference to non-populated MV in CMV.Kevin Grittner2013-11-02
| | | | | | | | | A subquery reference to a matview should be allowed by CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW WITH NO DATA, just like a direct reference is. Per bug report from Laurent Sartran. Backpatch to 9.3.
* Retry after buffer locking failure during SPGiST index creation.Tom Lane2013-11-02
| | | | | | | | | The original coding thought this case was impossible, but it can happen if the bgwriter or checkpointer processes decide to write out an index page while creation is still proceeding, leading to a bogus "unexpected spgdoinsert() failure" error. Problem reported by Jonathan S. Katz. Teodor Sigaev
* Ensure all files created for a single BufFile have the same resource owner.Tom Lane2013-11-01
| | | | | | | | | | | Callers expect that they only have to set the right resource owner when creating a BufFile, not during subsequent operations on it. While we could insist this be fixed at the caller level, it seems more sensible for the BufFile to take care of it. Without this, some temp files belonging to a BufFile can go away too soon, eg at the end of a subtransaction, leading to errors or crashes. Reported and fixed by Andres Freund. Back-patch to all active branches.
* Remove CTimeZone/HasCTZSet, root and branch.Tom Lane2013-11-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These variables no longer have any useful purpose, since there's no reason to special-case brute force timezones now that we have a valid session_timezone setting for them. Remove the variables, and remove the SET/SHOW TIME ZONE code that deals with them. The user-visible impact of this is that SHOW TIME ZONE will now show a POSIX-style zone specification, in the form "<+-offset>-+offset", rather than an interval value when a brute-force zone has been set. While perhaps less intuitive, this is a better definition than before because it's actually possible to give that string back to SET TIME ZONE and get the same behavior, unlike what used to happen. We did not previously mention the angle-bracket syntax when describing POSIX timezone specifications; add some documentation so that people can figure out what these strings do. (There's still quite a lot of undocumented functionality there, but anybody who really cares can go read the POSIX spec to find out about it. In practice most people seem to prefer Olsen-style city names anyway.)
* Remove internal uses of CTimeZone/HasCTZSet.Tom Lane2013-11-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The only remaining places where we actually look at CTimeZone/HasCTZSet are abstime2tm() and timestamp2tm(). Now that session_timezone is always valid, we can remove these special cases. The caller-visible impact of this is that these functions now always return a valid zone abbreviation if requested, whereas before they'd return a NULL pointer if a brute-force timezone was in use. In the existing code, the only place I can find that changes behavior is to_char(), whose TZ format code will now print something useful rather than nothing for such zones. (In the places where the returned zone abbreviation is passed to EncodeDateTime, the lack of visible change is because we've chosen the abbreviation used for these zones to match what EncodeTimezone would have printed.) It's likely that there is now a fair amount of removable dead code around the call sites, namely anything that's meant to cope with getting a NULL timezone abbreviation, but I've not made an effort to root that out. This could be back-patched if we decide we'd like to fix to_char()'s behavior in the back branches, but there doesn't seem to be much enthusiasm for that at present.
* Fix some odd behaviors when using a SQL-style simple GMT offset timezone.Tom Lane2013-11-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Formerly, when using a SQL-spec timezone setting with a fixed GMT offset (called a "brute force" timezone in the code), the session_timezone variable was not updated to match the nominal timezone; rather, all code was expected to ignore session_timezone if HasCTZSet was true. This is of course obviously fragile, though a search of the code finds only timeofday() failing to honor the rule. A bigger problem was that DetermineTimeZoneOffset() supposed that if its pg_tz parameter was pointer-equal to session_timezone, then HasCTZSet should override the parameter. This would cause datetime input containing an explicit zone name to be treated as referencing the brute-force zone instead, if the zone name happened to match the session timezone that had prevailed before installing the brute-force zone setting (as reported in bug #8572). The same malady could affect AT TIME ZONE operators. To fix, set up session_timezone so that it matches the brute-force zone specification, which we can do using the POSIX timezone definition syntax "<abbrev>offset", and get rid of the bogus lookaside check in DetermineTimeZoneOffset(). Aside from fixing the erroneous behavior in datetime parsing and AT TIME ZONE, this will cause the timeofday() function to print its result in the user-requested time zone rather than some previously-set zone. It might also affect results in third-party extensions, if there are any that make use of session_timezone without considering HasCTZSet, but in all cases the new behavior should be saner than before. Back-patch to all supported branches.
* Use appendStringInfoString instead of appendStringInfo where possible.Robert Haas2013-10-31
| | | | | | | This shaves a few cycles, and generally seems like good programming practice. David Rowley
* Avoid too-large shift on 32-bit Windows.Robert Haas2013-10-30
| | | | | | | Apparently, shifts greater than or equal to the width of the type are undefined, and can surprisingly produce a non-zero value. Amit Kapila, with a comment by me.
* Prevent using strncpy with src == dest in TupleDescInitEntry.Tom Lane2013-10-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The C and POSIX standards state that strncpy's behavior is undefined when source and destination areas overlap. While it remains dubious whether any implementations really misbehave when the pointers are exactly equal, some platforms are now starting to force the issue by complaining when an undefined call occurs. (In particular OS X 10.9 has been seen to dump core here, though the exact set of circumstances needed to trigger that remain elusive. Similar behavior can be expected to be optional on Linux and other platforms in the near future.) So tweak the code to explicitly do nothing when nothing need be done. Back-patch to all active branches. In HEAD, this also lets us get rid of an exception in valgrind.supp. Per discussion of a report from Matthias Schmitt.
* Modify dynamic shared memory code to use Size rather than uint64.Robert Haas2013-10-28

* Improve documentation about usage of FDW validator functions.Tom Lane2013-10-28

* Add large object functions catering to SQL callers.Noah Misch2013-10-27
| | | | | | | | With these, one need no longer manipulate large object descriptors and extract numeric constants from header files in order to read and write large object contents from SQL. Pavel Stehule, reviewed by Rushabh Lathia.
* Suppress -0 in the C field of lines computed by line_construct_pts().Tom Lane2013-10-25
| | | | | | | | It's not entirely clear why some PPC machines are generating -0 here, since the underlying computation should be exactly 0 - 0. Perhaps there's some wider-than-nominal-precision calculations happening? Anyway, the best way to avoid platform-dependent results seems to be to explicitly reset -0 to regular zero.
* Use improved vsnprintf calling logic in more places.Tom Lane2013-10-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we are using a C99-compliant vsnprintf implementation (which should be most places, these days) it is worth the trouble to make use of its report of how large the buffer needs to be to succeed. This patch adjusts stringinfo.c and some miscellaneous usages in pg_dump to do that, relying on the logic recently added in libpgcommon's psprintf.c. Since these places want to know the number of bytes written once we succeed, modify the API of pvsnprintf() to report that. There remains near-duplicate logic in pqexpbuffer.c, but since that code is in libpq, psprintf.c's approach of exit()-on-error isn't appropriate for use there. Also note that I didn't bother touching the multitude of places that call (v)snprintf without any attempt to provide a resizable buffer. Release-note-worthy incompatibility: the API of appendStringInfoVA() changed. If there's any third-party code that's calling that directly, it will need tweaking along the same lines as in this patch. David Rowley and Tom Lane
* Increase the number of different values used when seeding random().Heikki Linnakangas2013-10-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | When a backend process is forked, we initialize the system's random number generator with srandom(). The seed used is derived from the backend's pid and the timestamp. However, we only used the microseconds part of the timestamp, and it was XORed with the pid, so the total range of different seed values chosen was 0-999999. That's quite limited. Change the code to also use the seconds part of the timestamp in the seed, and shift the microseconds so that all 32 bits of the seed are used. Honza Horak
* Plug memory leak when reloading config file.Heikki Linnakangas2013-10-24
| | | | | | | | | The absolute path to config file was not pfreed. There are probably more small leaks here and there in the config file reload code and assign hooks, and in practice no-one reloads the config files frequently enough for it to be a problem, but this one is trivial enough that might as well fix it. Backpatch to 9.3 where the leak was introduced.

* Fix two bugs in setting the vm bit of empty pages.Heikki Linnakangas2013-10-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Use a critical section when setting the all-visible flag on an empty page, and WAL-logging it. log_newpage_buffer() contains an assertion that it must be called inside a critical section, and it's the right thing to do when modifying a buffer anyway. Also, the page should be marked dirty before calling log_newpage_buffer(), per the comment in log_newpage_buffer() and src/backend/access/transam/README. Patch by Andres Freund, in response to my report. Backpatch to 9.2, like the patch that introduced these bugs (a6370fd9).
* Suppress a couple of compiler warnings seen with older gcc versions.Tom Lane2013-10-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | To wit, bgworker.c: In function `RegisterDynamicBackgroundWorker': bgworker.c:761: warning: `generation' might be used uninitialized in this function dsm_impl.c: In function `dsm_impl_op': dsm_impl.c:197: warning: control reaches end of non-void function Neither of these represent actual bugs, but we may as well tweak the code so that more compilers can tell that. This won't change the generated code on compilers that do recognize that the cases are unreachable.
* Replace pg_asprintf() with psprintf().Tom Lane2013-10-22
| | | | | | This eliminates an awkward coding pattern that's also unnecessarily inconsistent with backend coding. psprintf() is now the thing to use everywhere.
* Get rid of use of asprintf() in favor of a more portable implementation.Tom Lane2013-10-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | asprintf(), aside from not being particularly portable, has a fundamentally badly-designed API; the psprintf() function that was added in passing in the previous patch has a much better API choice. Moreover, the NetBSD implementation that was borrowed for the previous patch doesn't work with non-C99-compliant vsnprintf, which is something we still have to cope with on some platforms; and it depends on va_copy which isn't all that portable either. Get rid of that code in favor of an implementation similar to what we've used for many years in stringinfo.c. Also, move it into libpgcommon since it's not really libpgport material. I think this patch will be enough to turn the buildfarm green again, but there's still cosmetic work left to do, namely get rid of pg_asprintf() in favor of using psprintf(). That will come in a followon patch.

* Allow only some columns of a view to be auto-updateable.Robert Haas2013-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | Previously, unless all columns were auto-updateable, we wouldn't inserts, updates, or deletes, or at least not without a rule or trigger; now, we'll allow inserts and updates that target only the auto-updateable columns, and deletes even if there are no auto-updateable columns at all provided the view definition is otherwise suitable.

* Provide a reliable mechanism for terminating a background worker.Robert Haas2013-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | Although previously-introduced APIs allow the process that registers a background worker to obtain the worker's PID, there's no way to prevent a worker that is not currently running from being restarted. This patch introduces a new API TerminateBackgroundWorker() that prevents the background worker from being restarted, terminates it if it is currently running, and causes it to be unregistered if or when it is not running. Patch by me. Review by Michael Paquier and KaiGai Kohei.
* Remove IRIX port.Robert Haas2013-10-18
| | | | | | | Development of IRIX has been discontinued, and support is scheduled to end in December of 2013. Therefore, there will be no supported versions of this operating system by the time PostgreSQL 9.4 is released. Furthermore, we have no maintainer for this platform.
* Remove spinlock support for SINIX, Sun3, and NS32K.Robert Haas2013-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | All of these platforms are very much obsolete. As far as I can determine, the last version of SINIX, later renamed Reliant, occurred some time between 2002 and 2005. The last release of SunOS that would run on a sun3 was released in November of 1991; the last release of OpenBSD which supported that platform was in 2001. The highest clock speed of any processor in the family was 25MHz. The NS32K (national semiconductor 320xx) architecture was retired in 1990. Support can be re-added if a maintainer emerges for any of these platforms, but it seems unlikely. Reviewed by Andres Freund.

* Rework SSL renegotiation codeAlvaro Herrera2013-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The existing renegotiation code was home for several bugs: it might erroneously report that renegotiation had failed; it might try to execute another renegotiation while the previous one was pending; it failed to terminate the connection if the renegotiation never actually took place; if a renegotiation was started, the byte count was reset, even if the renegotiation wasn't completed (this isn't good from a security perspective because it means continuing to use a session that should be considered compromised due to volume of data transferred.) The new code is structured to avoid these pitfalls: renegotiation is started a little earlier than the limit has expired; the handshake sequence is retried until it has actually returned successfully, and no more than that, but if it fails too many times, the connection is closed. The byte count is reset only when the renegotiation has succeeded, and if the renegotiation byte count limit expires, the connection is terminated. This commit only touches the master branch, because some of the changes are controversial. If everything goes well, a back-patch might be considered.

* Remove maintainer-check target, fold into normal buildPeter Eisentraut2013-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | make maintainer-check was obscure and rarely called in practice, and many breakages were missed. Fold everything that make maintainer-check used to do into the normal build. Specifically: - Call duplicate_oids when genbki.pl is called. - Check for tabs in SGML files when the documentation is built. - Run msgfmt with the -c option during the regular build. Add an additional configure check to see whether we are using the GNU version. (make maintainer-check probably used to fail with non-GNU msgfmt.) Keep maintainer-check as around as phony target for the time being in case anyone is calling it. But it won't do anything anymore.

* Add record_image_ops opclass for matview concurrent refresh.Kevin Grittner2013-10-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW CONCURRENTLY was broken for any matview containing a column of a type without a default btree operator class. It also did not produce results consistent with a non- concurrent REFRESH or a normal view if any column was of a type which allowed user-visible differences between values which compared as equal according to the type's default btree opclass. Concurrent matview refresh was modified to use the new operators to solve these problems. Documentation was added for record comparison, both for the default btree operator class for record, and the newly added operators. Regression tests now check for proper behavior both for a matview with a box column and a matview containing a citext column. Reviewed by Steve Singer, who suggested some of the doc language.
