* Fix failure to detect some cases of improperly-nested aggregates.Tom Lane2023-03-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | check_agg_arguments_walker() supposed that it needn't descend into the arguments of a lower-level aggregate function, but this is just wrong in the presence of multiple levels of sub-select. The oversight would lead to executor failures on queries that should be rejected. (Prior to v11, they actually were rejected, thanks to a "redundant" execution-time check.) Per bug #17835 from Anban Company. Back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/17835-4f29f3098b2d0ba4@postgresql.org
* Ensure COPY TO on an RLS-enabled table copies no more than it should.Tom Lane2023-03-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The COPY documentation is quite clear that "COPY relation TO" copies rows from only the named table, not any inheritance children it may have. However, if you enabled row-level security on the table then this stopped being true, because the code forgot to apply the ONLY modifier in the "SELECT ... FROM relation" query that it constructs in order to allow RLS predicates to be attached. Fix that. Report and patch by Antonin Houska (comment adjustments and test case by me).

* Fix race in SERIALIZABLE READ ONLY.Thomas Munro2023-03-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit bdaabb9b started skipping doomed transactions when building the list of possible conflicts for SERIALIZABLE READ ONLY. That makes sense, because doomed transactions won't commit, but a couple of subtle things broke: 1. If all uncommitted r/w transactions are doomed, a READ ONLY transaction would arbitrarily not benefit from the safe snapshot optimization. It would not be taken immediately, and yet no other transaction would set SXACT_FLAG_RO_SAFE later. 2. In the same circumstances but with DEFERRABLE, GetSafeSnapshot() would correctly exit its wait loop without sleeping and then take the optimization in non-assert builds, but assert builds would fail a sanity check that SXACT_FLAG_RO_SAFE had been set by another transaction. This is similar to the case for PredXact->WritableSxactCount == 0. We should opt out immediately if our possibleUnsafeConflicts list is empty after filtering. The code to maintain the serializable global xmin is moved down below the new opt out site, because otherwise we'd have to reverse its effects before returning. Back-patch to all supported releases.

* Fix corruption due to vacuum_defer_cleanup_age underflowing 64bit xidsAndres Freund2023-03-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When vacuum_defer_cleanup_age is bigger than the current xid, including the epoch, the subtraction of vacuum_defer_cleanup_age would lead to a wrapped around xid. While that normally is not a problem, the subsequent conversion to a 64bit xid results in a 64bit-xid very far into the future. As that xid is used as a horizon to detect whether rows versions are old enough to be removed, that allows removal of rows that are still visible (i.e. corruption). If vacuum_defer_cleanup_age was never changed from the default, there is no chance of this bug occurring. This bug was introduced in dc7420c2c92. A lesser version of it exists in 12-13, introduced by fb5344c969a, affecting only GiST. The 12-13 version of the issue can, in rare cases, lead to pages in a gist index getting recycled too early, potentially causing index entries to be found multiple times. The fix is fairly simple - don't allow vacuum_defer_cleanup_age to retreat further than FirstNormalTransactionId. Patches to make similar bugs easier to find, by adding asserts to the 64bit xid infrastructure, have been proposed, but are not suitable for backpatching. Currently there are no tests for vacuum_defer_cleanup_age. A patch introducing infrastructure to make writing a test easier has been posted to the list.

* Fix more bugs caused by adding columns to the end of a view.Tom Lane2023-03-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a view is defined atop another view, and then CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW is used to add columns to the lower view, then when the upper view's referencing RTE is expanded by ApplyRetrieveRule we will have a subquery RTE with fewer eref->colnames than output columns. This confuses various code that assumes those lists are always in sync, as they are in plain parser output. We have seen such problems before (cf commit d5b760ecb), and now I think the time has come to do what was speculated about in that commit: let's make ApplyRetrieveRule synthesize some column names to preserve the invariant that holds in parser output. Otherwise we'll be chasing this class of bugs indefinitely. Moreover, it appears from testing that this actually gives us better results in the test case d5b760ecb added, and likely in other corner cases that we lack coverage for. In HEAD, I replaced d5b760ecb's hack to make expandRTE exit early with an elog(ERROR) call, since the case is now presumably unreachable. But it seems like changing that in back branches would bring more risk than benefit, so there I just updated the comment. Per bug #17811 from Alexander Lakhin. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* Fix some more cases of missed GENERATED-column updates.Tom Lane2023-03-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If UPDATE is forced to retry after an EvalPlanQual check, it neglected to repeat GENERATED-column computations, even though those might well have changed since we're dealing with a different tuple than before. Fixing this is mostly a matter of looping back a bit further when we retry. In v15 and HEAD that's most easily done by altering the API of ExecUpdateAct so that it includes computing GENERATED expressions. Also, if an UPDATE in a partitioned table turns into a cross-partition INSERT operation, we failed to recompute GENERATED columns. That's a bug since 8bf6ec3ba allowed partitions to have different generation expressions; although it seems to have no ill effects before that. Fixing this is messier because we can now have situations where the same query needs both the UPDATE-aligned set of GENERATED columns and the INSERT-aligned set, and it's unclear which set will be generated first (else we could hack things by forcing the INSERT-aligned set to be generated, which is indeed how fe9e658f4 made it work for MERGE). The best fix seems to be to build and store separate sets of expressions for the INSERT and UPDATE cases. That would create ABI issues in the back branches, but so far it seems we can leave this alone in the back branches. Per bug #17823 from Hisahiro Kauchi. The first part of this affects all branches back to v12 where GENERATED columns were added. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/17823-b64909cf7d63de84@postgresql.org
* Fix assert failures in parallel SERIALIZABLE READ ONLY.Thomas Munro2023-03-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1. Make sure that we don't decrement SxactGlobalXminCount twice when the SXACT_FLAG_RO_SAFE optimization is reached in a parallel query. This could trigger a sanity check failure in assert builds. Non-assert builds recompute the count in SetNewSxactGlobalXmin(), so the problem was hidden, explaining the lack of field reports. Add a new isolation test to exercise that case. 2. Remove an assertion that the DOOMED flag can't be set on a partially released SERIALIZABLEXACT. Instead, ignore the flag (our transaction was already determined to be read-only safe, and DOOMED is in fact set during partial release, and there was already an assertion that it wasn't set sooner). Improve an existing isolation test so that it reaches that case (previously it wasn't quite testing what it was supposed to be testing; see discussion). Back-patch to 12. Bug #17116.

* Avoid fetching one past the end of translate()'s "to" parameter.Tom Lane2023-03-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is usually harmless, but if you were very unlucky it could provoke a segfault due to the "to" string being right up against the end of memory. Found via valgrind testing (so we might've found it earlier, except that our regression tests lacked any exercise of translate()'s deletion feature). Fix by switching the order of the test-for-end-of-string and advance-pointer steps. While here, compute "to_ptr + tolen" just once. (Smarter compilers might figure that out for themselves, but let's just make sure.) Report and fix by Daniil Anisimov, in bug #17816.

* Fix MULTIEXPR_SUBLINK with partitioned target tables, yet again.Tom Lane2023-02-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We already tried to fix this in commits 3f7323cbb et al (and follow-on fixes), but now it emerges that there are still unfixed cases; moreover, these cases affect all branches not only pre-v14. I thought we had eliminated all cases of making multiple clones of an UPDATE's target list when we nuked inheritance_planner. But it turns out we still do that in some partitioned-UPDATE cases, notably including INSERT ... ON CONFLICT UPDATE, because ExecInitPartitionInfo thinks it's okay to clone and modify the parent's targetlist. This fix is based on a suggestion from Andres Freund: let's stop abusing the ParamExecData.execPlan mechanism, which was only ever meant to handle initplans, and instead solve the execution timing problem by having the expression compiler move MULTIEXPR_SUBLINK steps to the front of their expression step lists. This is feasible because (a) all branches still in support compile the entire targetlist of an UPDATE into a single ExprState, and (b) we know that all MULTIEXPR_SUBLINKs do need to be evaluated --- none could be buried inside a CASE, for example. There is a minor semantics change concerning the order of execution of the MULTIEXPR's subquery versus other parts of the parent targetlist, but that seems like something we can get away with. By doing that, we no longer need to worry about whether different clones of a MULTIEXPR_SUBLINK share output Params; their usage of that data structure won't overlap. Per bug #17800 from Alexander Lakhin. Back-patch to all supported branches. In v13 and earlier, we can revert 3f7323cbb and follow-on fixes; however, I chose to keep the SubPlan.subLinkId field added in ccbb54c72. We don't need that anymore in the core code, but it's cheap enough to fill, and removing a plan node field in a minor release seems like it'd be asking for trouble.

* Fix mishandling of OLD/NEW references in subqueries in rule actions.Dean Rasheed2023-02-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a rule action contains a subquery that refers to columns from OLD or NEW, then those are really lateral references, and the planner will complain if it sees such things in a subquery that isn't marked as lateral. However, at rule-definition time, the user isn't required to mark the subquery with LATERAL, and so it can fail when the rule is used. Fix this by marking such subqueries as lateral in the rewriter, at the point where they're used. Dean Rasheed and Tom Lane, per report from Alexander Lakhin. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* Fix multi-row DEFAULT handling for INSERT ... SELECT rules.Dean Rasheed2023-02-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Given an updatable view with a DO ALSO INSERT ... SELECT rule, a multi-row INSERT ... VALUES query on the view fails if the VALUES list contains any DEFAULTs that are not replaced by view defaults. This manifests as an "unrecognized node type" error, or an Assert failure, in an assert-enabled build. The reason is that when RewriteQuery() attempts to replace the remaining DEFAULT items with NULLs in any product queries, using rewriteValuesRTEToNulls(), it assumes that the VALUES RTE is located at the same rangetable index in each product query. However, if the product query is an INSERT ... SELECT, then the VALUES RTE is actually in the SELECT part of that query (at the same index), rather than the top-level product query itself. Fix, by descending to the SELECT in such cases. Note that we can't simply use getInsertSelectQuery() for this, since that expects to be given a raw rule action with OLD and NEW placeholder entries, so we duplicate its logic instead. While at it, beef up the checks in getInsertSelectQuery() by checking that the jointree->fromlist node is indeed a RangeTblRef, and that the RTE it points to has rtekind == RTE_SUBQUERY.

We don't actually need the snapshot in this case (during replay we'll have the snapshot from the transaction), so in practice this is harmless. But in assert-enabled build this crashes. Fixed by requesting the snapshot only in non-transactional case, where we are guaranteed to have SNAPBUILD_CONSISTENT. Backpatch to 11. The issue exists since 9.6.

* Fix erroneous Valgrind markings in AllocSetRealloc.Tom Lane2023-02-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If asked to decrease the size of a large (>8K) palloc chunk, AllocSetRealloc could improperly change the Valgrind state of memory beyond the new end of the chunk: it would mark data UNDEFINED as far as the old end of the chunk after having done the realloc(3) call, thus tromping on the state of memory that no longer belongs to it. One would normally expect that memory to now be marked NOACCESS, so that this mislabeling might prevent detection of later errors. If realloc() had chosen to move the chunk someplace else (unlikely, but well within its rights) we could also mismark perfectly-valid DEFINED data as UNDEFINED, causing false-positive valgrind reports later. Also, any malloc bookkeeping data placed within this area might now be wrongly marked, causing additional problems. Fix by replacing relevant uses of "oldsize" with "Min(size, oldsize)". It's sufficient to mark as far as "size" when that's smaller, because whatever remains in the new chunk size will be marked NOACCESS below, and we expect realloc() to have taken care of marking the memory beyond the new official end of the chunk. While we're here, also rename the function's "oldsize" variable to "oldchksize" to more clearly explain what it actually holds, namely the distance to the end of the chunk (that is, requested size plus trailing padding). This is more consistent with the use of "size" and "chksize" to hold the new requested size and chunk size. Add a new variable "oldsize" in the one stanza where we're actually talking about the old requested size. Oversight in commit c477f3e44. Back-patch to all supported branches, as that was, just in case anybody wants to do valgrind testing on back branches.

* Print the correct aliases for DML target tables in ruleutils.Tom Lane2023-02-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ruleutils.c blindly printed the user-given alias (or nothing if there hadn't been one) for the target table of INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE queries. That works a large percentage of the time, but not always: for queries appearing in WITH, it's possible that we chose a different alias to avoid conflict with outer-scope names. Since the chosen alias would be used in any Var references to the target table, this'd lead to an inconsistent printout with consequences such as dump/restore failures. The correct logic for printing (or not) a relation alias was embedded in get_from_clause_item. Factor it out to a separate function so that we don't need a jointree node to use it. (Only a limited part of that function can be reached from these new call sites, but this seems like the cleanest non-duplicative factorization.) In passing, I got rid of a redundant "\d+ rules_src" step in rules.sql. Initial report from Jonathan Katz; thanks to Vignesh C for analysis.

* Fix handling of SCRAM-SHA-256's channel binding with RSA-PSS certificatesMichael Paquier2023-02-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | OpenSSL 1.1.1 and newer versions have added support for RSA-PSS certificates, which requires the use of a specific routine in OpenSSL to determine which hash function to use when compiling it when using channel binding in SCRAM-SHA-256. X509_get_signature_nid(), that is the original routine the channel binding code has relied on, is not able to determine which hash algorithm to use for such certificates. However, X509_get_signature_info(), new to OpenSSL 1.1.1, is able to do it. This commit switches the channel binding logic to rely on X509_get_signature_info() over X509_get_signature_nid(), which would be the choice when building with 1.1.1 or newer. The error could have been triggered on the client or the server, hence libpq and the backend need to have their related code paths patched. Note that attempting to load an RSA-PSS certificate with OpenSSL 1.1.0 or older leads to a failure due to an unsupported algorithm. The discovery of relying on X509_get_signature_info() comes from Jacob, the tests have been written by Heikki (with few tweaks from me), while I have bundled the whole together while adding the bits needed for MSVC and meson. This issue exists since channel binding exists, so backpatch all the way down. Some tests are added in 15~, triggered if compiling with OpenSSL 1.1.1 or newer, where the certificate and key files can easily be generated for RSA-PSS.

* Disable WindowAgg inverse transitions when subplans are presentDavid Rowley2023-02-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When an aggregate function is used as a WindowFunc and a tuple transitions out of the window frame, we ordinarily try to make use of the aggregate function's inverse transition function to "unaggregate" the exiting tuple. This optimization is disabled for various cases, including when the aggregate contains a volatile function. In such a case we'd be unable to ensure that the transition value was calculated to the same value during transitions and inverse transitions. Unfortunately, we did this check by calling contain_volatile_functions() which does not recursively search SubPlans for volatile functions. If the aggregate function's arguments or its FILTER clause contained a subplan with volatile functions then we'd fail to notice this. Here we fix this by just disabling the optimization when the WindowFunc contains any subplans. Volatile functions are not the only reason that a subplan may have nonrepeatable results.

* Allow REPLICA IDENTITY to be set on an index that's not (yet) valid.Tom Lane2023-01-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The motivation for this change is that when pg_dump dumps a partitioned index that's marked REPLICA IDENTITY, it generates a command sequence that applies REPLICA IDENTITY before the partitioned index has been marked valid, causing restore to fail. We could perhaps change pg_dump to not do it like that, but that would be difficult and would not fix existing dump files with the problem. There seems to be very little reason for the backend to disallow this anyway --- the code ignores indisreplident when the index isn't valid --- so instead let's fix it by allowing the case. Commit 9511fb37a previously expressed a concern that allowing indisreplident to be set on invalid indexes might allow us to wind up in a situation where a table could have indisreplident set on multiple indexes. I'm not sure I follow that concern exactly, but in any case the only way that could happen is because relation_mark_replica_identity is too trusting about the existing set of markings being valid. Let's just rip out its early-exit code path (which sure looks like premature optimization anyway; what are we doing expending code to make redundant ALTER TABLE ... REPLICA IDENTITY commands marginally faster and not-redundant ones marginally slower?) and fix it to positively guarantee that no more than one index is marked indisreplident. The pg_dump failure can be demonstrated in all supported branches, so back-patch all the way. I chose to back-patch 9511fb37a as well, just to keep indisreplident handling the same in all branches.

* Fix WaitEventSetWait() buffer overrun.Thomas Munro2023-01-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The WAIT_USE_EPOLL and WAIT_USE_KQUEUE implementations of WaitEventSetWaitBlock() confused the size of their internal buffer with the size of the caller's output buffer, and could ask the kernel for too many events. In fact the set of events retrieved from the kernel needs to be able to fit in both buffers, so take the smaller of the two. The WAIT_USE_POLL and WAIT_USE WIN32 implementations didn't have this confusion. This probably didn't come up before because we always used the same number in both places, but commit 7389aad6 calculates a dynamic size at construction time, while using MAXLISTEN for its output event buffer on the stack. That seems like a reasonable thing to want to do, so consider this to be a pre-existing bug worth fixing. As discovered by valgrind on skink.

* Fix jsonpath existense checking of missing variablesAlexander Korotkov2023-01-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current jsonpath code assumes that the referenced variable always exists. It could only throw an error at the value valuation time. At the same time existence checking assumes variable is present without valuation, and error suppression doesn't work for missing variables.

* Avoid using tuple from syscache for update of pg_database.datfrozenxidMichael Paquier2023-01-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | pg_database.datfrozenxid gets updated using an in-place update at the end of vacuum or autovacuum. Since 96cdeae, as pg_database has a toast relation, it is possible for a pg_database tuple to have toast values if there is a large set of ACLs in place. In such a case, the in-place update would fail because of the flattening of the toast values done for the catcache entry fetched. Instead of using a copy from the catcache, this changes the logic to fetch the copy of the tuple by directly scanning pg_database. Note that before 96cdeae, attempting to insert such a tuple to pg_database would cause a "row is too big" error, so the end-of-vacuum problem was not reachable. This issue has been originally fixed in 947789f on v14~, and there have been reports about this problem on v12 and v13, causing failures at the end of VACUUM. This completes the fix on all the stable branches where pg_database can use a toast table, down to 12.

* Rethink handling of [Prevent|Is]InTransactionBlock in pipeline mode.Tom Lane2022-12-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commits f92944137 et al. made IsInTransactionBlock() set the XACT_FLAGS_NEEDIMMEDIATECOMMIT flag before returning "false", on the grounds that that kept its API promises equivalent to those of PreventInTransactionBlock(). This turns out to be a bad idea though, because it allows an ANALYZE in a pipelined series of commands to cause an immediate commit, which is unexpected. Furthermore, if we return "false" then we have another issue, which is that ANALYZE will decide it's allowed to do internal commit-and-start-transaction sequences, thus possibly unexpectedly committing the effects of previous commands in the pipeline. To fix the latter situation, invent another transaction state flag XACT_FLAGS_PIPELINING, which explicitly records the fact that we have executed some extended-protocol command and not yet seen a commit for it. Then, require that flag to not be set before allowing InTransactionBlock() to return "false". Having done that, we can remove its setting of NEEDIMMEDIATECOMMIT without fear of causing problems. This means that the API guarantees of IsInTransactionBlock now diverge from PreventInTransactionBlock, which is mildly annoying, but it seems OK given the very limited usage of IsInTransactionBlock. (In any case, a caller preferring the old behavior could always set NEEDIMMEDIATECOMMIT for itself.) For consistency also require XACT_FLAGS_PIPELINING to not be set in PreventInTransactionBlock. This too is meant to prevent commands such as CREATE DATABASE from silently committing previous commands in a pipeline. Per report from Peter Eisentraut. As before, back-patch to all supported branches (which sadly no longer includes v10). Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/65a899dd-aebc-f667-1d0a-abb89ff3abf8@enterprisedb.com
* Fix generate_partitionwise_join_paths() to tolerate failure.Tom Lane2022-12-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We might fail to generate a partitionwise join, because reparameterize_path_by_child() does not support all path types. This should not be a hard failure condition: we should just fall back to a non-partitioned join. However, generate_partitionwise_join_paths did not consider this possibility and would emit the (misleading) error "could not devise a query plan for the given query" if we'd failed to make any paths for a child join. Fix it to give up on partitionwise joining if so. (The accepted technique for giving up appears to be to set rel->nparts = 0, which I find pretty bizarre, but there you have it.) I have not added a test case because there'd be little point: any omissions of this sort that we identify would soon get fixed by extending reparameterize_path_by_child(), so the test would stop proving anything. However, right now there is a known test case based on failure to cover MaterialPath, and with that I've found that this is broken in all supported versions. Hence, patch all the way back. Original report and patch by me; thanks to Richard Guo for identifying a test case that works against committed versions. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/1854233.1669949723@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Fix DEFAULT handling for multi-row INSERT rules.Dean Rasheed2022-12-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When updating a relation with a rule whose action performed an INSERT from a multi-row VALUES list, the rewriter might skip processing the VALUES list, and therefore fail to replace any DEFAULTs in it. This would lead to an "unrecognized node type" error. The reason was that RewriteQuery() assumed that a query doing an INSERT from a multi-row VALUES list would necessarily only have one item in its fromlist, pointing to the VALUES RTE to read from. That assumption is correct for the original query, but not for product queries produced for rule actions. In such cases, there may be multiple items in the fromlist, possibly including multiple VALUES RTEs. What is required instead is for RewriteQuery() to skip any RTEs from the product query's originating query, which might include one or more already-processed VALUES RTEs. What's left should then include at most one VALUES RTE (from the rule action) to be processed. Patch by me. Thanks to Tom Lane for reviewing. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* Improve heuristics for compressing the KnownAssignedXids array.Tom Lane2022-11-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, we'd compress only when the active range of array entries reached Max(4 * PROCARRAY_MAXPROCS, 2 * pArray->numKnownAssignedXids). If max_connections is large, the first term could result in not compressing for a long time, resulting in much wastage of cycles in hot-standby backends scanning the array to take snapshots. Get rid of that term, and just bound it to 2 * pArray->numKnownAssignedXids. That however creates the opposite risk, that we might spend too much effort compressing. Hence, consider compressing only once every 128 commit records. (This frequency was chosen by benchmarking. While we only tried one benchmark scenario, the results seem stable over a fairly wide range of frequencies.) Also, force compression when processing RecoveryInfo WAL records (which should be infrequent); the old code could perform compression then, but would do so only after the same array-range check as for the transaction-commit path. Also, opportunistically run compression if the startup process is about to wait for WAL, though not oftener than once a second. This should prevent cases where we waste lots of time by leaving the array not-compressed for long intervals due to low WAL traffic. Lastly, add a simple check to keep us from uselessly compressing when the array storage is already compact. Back-patch, as the performance problem is worse in pre-v14 branches than in HEAD.

* Remove bogus Assert and dead code in remove_useless_results_recurse().Tom Lane2022-11-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The JOIN_SEMI case Assert'ed that there are no PlaceHolderVars that need to be evaluated at the semijoin's RHS, which is wrong because there could be some in the semijoin's qual condition. However, there could not be any references further up than that, and within the qual there is not any way that such a PHV could have gone to null yet, so we don't really need the PHV and there is no need to avoid making the RHS-removal optimization. The upshot is that there's no actual bug in production code, and we ought to just remove this misguided Assert. While we're here, also drop the JOIN_RIGHT case, which is dead code because reduce_outer_joins() already got rid of JOIN_RIGHT. Per bug #17700 from Xin Wen. Uselessness of the JOIN_RIGHT case pointed out by Richard Guo. Back-patch to v12 where this code was added. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/17700-2b5c10d917c30687@postgresql.org
* Fix uninitialized access to InitialRunningXacts during decoding.Amit Kapila2022-11-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In commit 272248a0c, we introduced an InitialRunningXacts array to remember transactions and subtransactions that were running when the xl_running_xacts record that we decoded was written. This array was allocated in the snapshot builder memory context after we restore serialized snapshot but we forgot to reset the array while freeing the builder memory context. So, the next time when we start decoding in the same session where we don't restore any serialized snapshot, we ended up using the uninitialized array and that can lead to unpredictable behavior. This problem doesn't exist in HEAD as instead of using InitialRunningXacts, we added the list of transaction IDs and sub-transaction IDs, that have modified catalogs and are running during snapshot serialization, to the serialized snapshot (see commit 7f13ac8123).

* YA attempt at taming worst-case behavior of get_actual_variable_range.Tom Lane2022-11-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We've made multiple attempts at preventing get_actual_variable_range from taking an unreasonable amount of time (3ca930fc3, fccebe421). But there's still an issue for the very first planning attempt after deletion of a large number of extremal-valued tuples. While that planning attempt will set "killed" bits on the tuples it visits and thereby reduce effort for next time, there's still a lot of work it has to do to visit the heap and then set those bits. It's (usually?) not worth it to do that much work at plan time to have a slightly better estimate, especially in a context like this where the table contents are known to be mutating rapidly. Therefore, let's bound the amount of work to be done by giving up after we've visited 100 heap pages. Giving up just means we'll fall back on the extremal value recorded in pg_statistic, so it shouldn't mean that planner estimates suddenly become worthless. Note that this means we'll still gradually whittle down the problem by setting a few more index "killed" bits in each planning attempt; so eventually we'll reach a good state (barring further deletions), even in the absence of VACUUM.

* Fix mislabeling of PROC_QUEUE->links as PGPROC, fixing UBSan on 32bitAndres Freund2022-11-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ProcSleep() used a PGPROC* variable to point to PROC_QUEUE->links.next, because that does "the right thing" with SHMQueueInsertBefore(). While that largely works, it's certainly not correct and unnecessary - we can just use SHM_QUEUE* to point to the insertion point. Noticed when testing a 32bit of postgres with undefined behavior sanitizer. UBSan noticed that sometimes the supposed PGPROC wasn't sufficiently aligned (required since 46d6e5f5679, ensured indirectly, via ShmemAllocRaw() guaranteeing cacheline alignment). For now fix this by using a SHM_QUEUE* for the insertion point. Subsequently we should replace all the use of PROC_QUEUE and SHM_QUEUE with ilist.h, but that's a larger change that we don't want to backpatch. Backpatch to all supported versions - it's useful to be able to run postgres under UBSan.

* Replace RelationOpenSmgr() with RelationGetSmgr().Tom Lane2022-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a back-patch of the v15-era commit f10f0ae42 into older supported branches. The idea is to design out bugs in which an ill-timed relcache flush clears rel->rd_smgr partway through some code sequence that wasn't expecting that. We had another report today of a corner case that reliably crashes v14 under debug_discard_caches (nee CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS), and therefore would crash once in a blue moon in the field. We're unlikely to get rid of all such code paths unless we adopt the more rigorous coding rules instituted by f10f0ae42. Therefore, even though this is a bit invasive, it's time to back-patch. Some comfort can be taken in the fact that f10f0ae42 has been in v15 for 16 months without problems. I left the RelationOpenSmgr macro present in the back branches, even though no core code should use it anymore, in order to not break third-party extensions in minor releases. Such extensions might opt to start using RelationGetSmgr instead, to reduce their code differential between v15 and earlier branches. This carries a hazard of failing to compile against headers from existing minor releases. However, once compiled the extension should work fine even with such releases, because RelationGetSmgr is a "static inline" function so it creates no link-time dependency. So depending on distribution practices, that might be an OK tradeoff. Per report from Spyridon Dimitrios Agathos. Original patch by Amul Sul.
