* Fix generation of EC join conditions at the wrong plan level.Tom Lane2024-04-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | get_baserel_parampathinfo previously assumed without checking that the results of generate_join_implied_equalities "necessarily satisfy join_clause_is_movable_into". This turns out to be wrong in the presence of outer joins, because the generated clauses could include Vars that mustn't be evaluated below a relevant outer join. That led to applying clauses at the wrong plan level and possibly getting incorrect query results. We must check each clause's nullable_relids, and really the right thing to do is test join_clause_is_movable_into. However, trying to fix it that way exposes an oversight in equivclass.c: it wasn't careful about marking join clauses for appendrel children with the correct clause_relids. That caused the modified get_baserel_parampathinfo code to reject some clauses it still needs to accept. (See parallel commit for HEAD/v16 for more commentary about that.) Per bug #18429 from BenoƮt Ryder. This misbehavior existed for a long time before commit 2489d76c4, so patch v12-v15 this way. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/18429-8982d4a348cc86c6@postgresql.org
* Fix type-checking of RECORD-returning functions in FROM, redux.Tom Lane2024-04-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 2ed8f9a01 intended to institute a policy that if a RangeTblFunction has a coldeflist, then the function return type is certainly RECORD, and we should use the coldeflist as the source of truth about what the columns of the record type are. When the original function has been folded to a constant, inspection of the constant might give a different answer. This situation will lead to a tuple-type-mismatch error at execution, but up until that point we need to consistently believe the coldeflist, or we'll have problems from different bits of code reaching different conclusions. expandRTE didn't get that memo though, and would try to produce a tupdesc based on the constant in this situation, leading to an assertion failure. (Desultory testing suggests that non-assert builds often manage to give the expected error, although I also saw a "cache lookup failed for type 0" error, and it seems at least possible that a crash could happen.) Some other callers of get_expr_result_type and get_expr_result_tupdesc were also being incautious about this. While none of them seem to have actual bugs, they're working harder than necessary in this case, besides which it seems safest to have an explicit policy of not using those functions on an RTE with a coldeflist. Adjust the code accordingly, and add commentary to funcapi.c about this policy. Also fix an obsolete comment that claimed "get_expr_result_type() doesn't know how to extract type info from a RECORD constant". That hasn't been true since commit d57534740. Per bug #18422 from Alexander Lakhin. As with the previous commit, back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/18422-89ca86c8eac5246d@postgresql.org
* Update nbits_set in brin_bloom_unionTomas Vondra2024-04-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Properly update the number of bits set in the bitmap after merging the filters in brin_bloom_union. This is mostly harmless, as the counter is used only in the output function, which means pageinspect may show incorrect information about the BRIN summary. The counter does not affect correctness. Discovered while adding a regression test comparing indexes built with and without parallelism. The parallel index builds exercise the union procedure when merging results from workers, which is otherwise very hard to do in a test. Which is why this went unnoticed until now. Backpatch through 14, where the BRIN bloom opclasses were introduced. Backpatch-through: 14 Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/1df00a66-db5a-4e66-809a-99b386a06d86%40enterprisedb.com
* freespace: Don't return blocks past the end of the main fork.Noah Misch2024-04-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | GetPageWithFreeSpace() callers assume the returned block exists in the main fork, failing with "could not read block" errors if that doesn't hold. Make that assumption reliable now. It hadn't been guaranteed, due to the weak WAL and data ordering of participating components. Most operations on the fsm fork are not WAL-logged. Relation extension is not WAL-logged. Hence, an fsm-fork block on disk can reference a main-fork block that no WAL record has initialized. That could happen after an OS crash, a replica promote, or a PITR restore. wal_log_hints makes the trouble easier to hit; a replica promote or PITR ending just after a relevant fsm-fork FPI_FOR_HINT may yield this broken state. The v16 RelationAddBlocks() mechanism also makes the trouble easier to hit, since it bulk-extends even without extension lock waiters. Commit 917dc7d2393ce680dea7a59418be9ff341df3c14 stopped trouble around truncation, but vectors involving PageIsNew() pages remained. This implementation adds a RelationGetNumberOfBlocks() call when the cached relation size doesn't confirm a block exists. We've been unable to identify a benchmark that slows materially, but this may show up as additional time in lseek(). An alternative without that overhead would be a new ReadBufferMode such that ReadBufferExtended() returns NULL after a 0-byte read, with all other errors handled normally. However, each GetFreeIndexPage() caller would then need code for the return-NULL case. Back-patch to v14, due to earlier versions not caching relation size and the absence of a pre-v16 problem report. Ronan Dunklau. Reported by Ronan Dunklau.

* Fix illegal attribute propagation in LLVM JIT.Thomas Munro2024-04-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 72559438 started copying more attributes from AttributeTemplate to the functions we generate on the fly. In the case of deform functions, which return void, this meant that "noundef", from AttributeTemplate's return value (a Datum) was copied to a void type.

* Avoid deadlock during orphan temp table removal.Tom Lane2024-04-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If temp tables have dependencies (such as sequences) then it's possible for autovacuum's cleanup of orphan temp tables to deadlock against an incoming backend that's trying to clean out the temp namespace for its own use. That can happen because RemoveTempRelations' performDeletion call can visit objects within the namespace in an order different from the order in which a per-table deletion will visit them. To fix, observe that performDeletion will begin by taking an exclusive lock on the temp namespace (even though it won't actually delete it). So, if we can get a shared lock on the namespace, we can be sure we're not running concurrently with RemoveTempRelations, while also not conflicting with ordinary use of the namespace. This requires introducing a conditional version of LockDatabaseObject, but that's no big deal. (It's surprising we've got along without that this long.) Report and patch by Mikhail Zhilin.

* Fix unnecessary use of moving-aggregate mode with non-moving frame.Tom Lane2024-03-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a plain aggregate is used as a window function, and the window frame start is specified as UNBOUNDED PRECEDING, the frame's head cannot move so we do not need to use moving-aggregate mode. The check for that was put into initialize_peragg(), failing to notice that ExecInitWindowAgg() calls that function before it's filled in winstate->frameOptions. Since makeNode() would have zeroed the field, this didn't provoke uninitialized-value complaints, nor would the erroneous decision have resulted in more than a little inefficiency. Still, it's wrong, so move the initialization of winstate->frameOptions earlier to make it work properly. While here, also fix a thinko in a comment. Both errors crept in in commit a9d9acbf2 which introduced the moving-aggregate mode. Spotted by Vallimaharajan G. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* Fix failure of ALTER FOREIGN TABLE SET SCHEMA to move sequences.Tom Lane2024-03-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Ordinary ALTER TABLE SET SCHEMA will also move any owned sequences into the new schema. We failed to do likewise for foreign tables, because AlterTableNamespaceInternal believed that only certain relkinds could have indexes, owned sequences, or constraints. We could simply add foreign tables to that relkind list, but it seems likely that the same oversight could be made again in future. Instead let's remove the relkind filter altogether. These functions shouldn't cost much when there are no objects that they need to process, and surely this isn't an especially performance-critical case anyway. Per bug #18407 from Vidushi Gupta.

* Allow "make check"-style testing to work with musl C library.Tom Lane2024-03-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The musl dynamic linker saves a pointer to the process' environment value of LD_LIBRARY_PATH very early in startup. When we move/clobber the environment to make more room for ps status strings, we clobber that value and thereby prevent libraries from being found via LD_LIBRARY_PATH, which breaks the use of a temporary installation for testing purposes. To fix, stop collecting usable space for ps status if we notice that the variable we are about to clobber is LD_LIBRARY_PATH. This will result in some reduction in how long the ps status can be, but it's only likely to occur in temporary test contexts, so it doesn't seem like a big problem. In any case, we don't have to do it if we see we are on glibc, which surely is where the majority of our Linux testing is done.

* Fix EXPLAIN output for subplans in MERGE.Dean Rasheed2024-03-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Given a subplan in a MERGE query, EXPLAIN would sometimes fail to properly display expressions involving Params referencing variables in other parts of the plan tree. This would affect subplans outside the topmost join plan node, for which expansion of Params would go via the top-level ModifyTable plan node. The problem was that "inner_tlist" for the ModifyTable node's deparse_namespace was set to the join node's targetlist, but "inner_plan" was set to the ModifyTable node itself, rather than the join node, leading to incorrect results when descending to the referenced variable.

* Make INSERT-from-multiple-VALUES-rows handle domain target columns.Tom Lane2024-03-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit a3c7a993d fixed some cases involving target columns that are arrays or composites by applying transformAssignedExpr to the VALUES entries, and then stripping off any assignment ArrayRefs or FieldStores that the transformation added. But I forgot about domains over arrays or composites :-(. Such cases would either fail with surprising complaints about mismatched datatypes, or insert unexpected coercions that could lead to odd results. To fix, extend the stripping logic to get rid of CoerceToDomain if it's atop an ArrayRef or FieldStore. While poking at this, I realized that there's a poorly documented and not-at-all-tested behavior nearby: we coerce each VALUES column to the domain type separately, and rely on the rewriter to merge those operations so that the domain constraints are checked only once. If that merging did not happen, it's entirely possible that we'd get unexpected domain constraint failures due to checking a partially-updated container value. There's no bug there, but while we're here let's improve the commentary about it and add some test cases that explicitly exercise that behavior. Per bug #18393 from Pablo Kharo.

* Fix confusion about the return rowtype of SQL-language procedures.Tom Lane2024-03-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a very ancient hack in check_sql_fn_retval that allows a single SELECT targetlist entry of composite type to be taken as supplying all the output columns of a function returning composite. (This is grotty and fundamentally ambiguous, but it's really hard to do nested composite-returning functions without it.) As far as I know, that doesn't cause any problems in ordinary functions. It's disastrous for procedures however. All procedures that have any output parameters are labeled with prorettype RECORD, and the CALL code expects it will get back a record with one column per output parameter, regardless of whether any of those parameters is composite. Doing something else leads to an assertion failure or core dump. This is simple enough to fix: we just need to not apply that rule when considering procedures. However, that requires adding another argument to check_sql_fn_retval, which at least in principle might be getting called by external callers. Therefore, in the back branches convert check_sql_fn_retval into an ABI-preserving wrapper around a new function check_sql_fn_retval_ext. Per report from Yahor Yuzefovich. This has been broken since we implemented procedures, so back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CABz5gWHSjj2df6uG0NRiDhZ_Uz=Y8t0FJP-_SVSsRsnrQT76Gg@mail.gmail.com
* Disconnect if socket cannot be put into non-blocking modeHeikki Linnakangas2024-03-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 387da18874 moved the code to put socket into non-blocking mode from socket_set_nonblocking() into the one-time initialization function, pq_init(). In socket_set_nonblocking(), there indeed was a risk of recursion on failure like the comment said, but in pq_init(), ERROR or FATAL is fine. There's even another elog(FATAL) just after this, if setting FD_CLOEXEC fails. Note that COMMERROR merely logged the error, it did not close the connection, so if putting the socket to non-blocking mode failed we would use the connection anyway. You might not immediately notice, because most socket operations in a regular backend wait for the socket to become readable/writable anyway. But e.g. replication will be quite broken.

* Fix incorrect accessing of pfree'd memory in MemoizeDavid Rowley2024-03-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For pass-by-reference types, the code added in 0b053e78b, which aimed to resolve a memory leak, was overly aggressive in resetting the per-tuple memory context which could result in pfree'd memory being accessed resulting in failing to find previously cached results in the hash table. What was happening was prepare_probe_slot() was switching to the per-tuple memory context and calling ExecEvalExpr(). ExecEvalExpr() may have required a memory allocation. Both MemoizeHash_hash() and MemoizeHash_equal() were aggressively resetting the per-tuple context and after determining the hash value, the context would have gotten reset before MemoizeHash_equal() was called. This could have resulted in MemoizeHash_equal() looking at pfree'd memory. This is less likely to have caused issues on a production build as some other allocation would have had to have reused the pfree'd memory to overwrite it. Otherwise, the original contents would have been intact. However, this clearly caused issues on MEMORY_CONTEXT_CHECKING builds.

* Fix handling of self-modified tuples in MERGE.Dean Rasheed2024-03-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When an UPDATE or DELETE action in MERGE returns TM_SelfModified, there are 2 possible causes: 1). The target tuple was already updated or deleted by the current command. This can happen if the target row joins to more than one source row, and the SQL standard explicitly says that this must be an error. 2). The target tuple was already updated or deleted by a later command in the current transaction. This can happen if the tuple is modified by a BEFORE trigger or a volatile function used in the query, and should be an error for the same reason that it is in a plain UPDATE or DELETE command. In MERGE's primary error handling block, it failed to check for (2), causing it to return a misleading error message in such cases. In the secondary error handling block, following a concurrent update from another session, it failed to check for (1), causing it to silently ignore target rows joined to more than one source row, instead of reporting an error. Fix this, and add tests for both of these cases. Per report from Wenjiang Zhang. Back-patch to v15, where MERGE was introduced.

* Fix type-checking of RECORD-returning functions in FROM.Tom Lane2024-03-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the corner case where a function returning RECORD has been simplified to a RECORD constant or an inlined ROW() expression, ExecInitFunctionScan failed to cross-check the function's result rowtype against the coldeflist provided by the calling query. That happened because get_expr_result_type is able to extract a tupdesc from such expressions, which led ExecInitFunctionScan to ignore the coldeflist. (Instead, it used the extracted tupdesc to check the function's output, which of course always succeeds.) I have not been able to demonstrate any really serious consequences from this, because if some column of the result is of the wrong type and is directly referenced by a Var of the calling query, CheckVarSlotCompatibility will catch it. However, we definitely do fail to report the case where the function returns more columns than the coldeflist expects, and in the converse case where it returns fewer columns, we get an assert failure (but, seemingly, no worse results in non-assert builds). To fix, always build the expected tupdesc from the coldeflist if there is one, and consult get_expr_result_type only when there isn't one. Also remove the failing Assert, even though it is no longer reached after this fix. It doesn't seem to be adding anything useful, since later checking will deal with cases with the wrong number of columns. The only other place I could find that is doing something similar is inline_set_returning_function. There's no live bug there because we cannot be looking at a Const or RowExpr, but for consistency change that code to agree with ExecInitFunctionScan. Per report from PetSerAl. After some debate I've concluded that this should be back-patched. There is a small risk that somebody has been relying on such a case not throwing an error, but I judge this outweighed by the risk that I've missed some way in which the failure to cross-check has worse consequences than sketched above.

* Fix parallel-safety check of expressions and predicate for index buildsMichael Paquier2024-03-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As coded, the planner logic that calculates the number of parallel workers to use for a parallel index build uses expressions and predicates from the relcache, which are flattened for the planner by eval_const_expressions(). As reported in the bug, an immutable parallel-unsafe function flattened in the relcache would become a Const, which would be considered as parallel-safe, even if the predicate or the expressions including the function are not safe in parallel workers. Depending on the expressions or predicate used, this could cause the parallel build to fail. Tests are included that check parallel index builds with parallel-unsafe predicate and expressions. Two routines are added to lsyscache.h to be able to retrieve expressions and predicate of an index from its pg_index data.

* Promote assertion about !ReindexIsProcessingIndex to runtime error.Tom Lane2024-02-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When this assertion was installed (in commit d2f60a3ab), I thought it was only for catching server logic errors that caused accesses to catalogs that were undergoing index rebuilds. However, it will also fire in case of a user-defined index expression that attempts to access its own table. We occasionally see reports of people trying to do that, and typically getting unintelligible low-level errors as a result. We can provide a more on-point message by making this a regular runtime check. While at it, adjust the similar error check in systable_beginscan_ordered to use the same message text. That one is (probably) not reachable without a coding bug, but we might as well use a translatable message if we have one. Per bug #18363 from Alexander Lakhin. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* Avoid dangling-pointer problem with partitionwise joins under GEQO.Tom Lane2024-02-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | build_child_join_sjinfo creates a derived SpecialJoinInfo in the short-lived GEQO context, but afterwards the semi_rhs_exprs from that may be used in a UniquePath for a child base relation. This breaks the expectation that all base-relation-level structures are in the planning-lifespan context, leading to use of a dangling pointer with probable ensuing crash later on in create_unique_plan. To fix, copy the expression trees when making a UniquePath. Per bug #18360 from Alexander Lakhin. This has been broken since partitionwise joins were added, so back-patch to all supported branches.

* Fix incorrect pruning of NULL partition for boolean IS NOT clausesDavid Rowley2024-02-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Partition pruning wrongly assumed that, for a table partitioned on a boolean column, a clause in the form "boolcol IS NOT false" and "boolcol IS NOT true" could be inverted to correspondingly become "boolcol IS true" and "boolcol IS false". These are not equivalent as the NOT version matches the opposite boolean value *and* NULLs. This incorrect assumption meant that partition pruning pruned away partitions that could contain NULL values. Here we fix this by correctly not pruning partitions which could store NULLs. To be affected by this, the table must be partitioned by a NULLable boolean column and queries would have to contain "boolcol IS NOT false" or "boolcol IS NOT true". This could result in queries filtering out NULL values with a LIST partitioned table and "ERROR: invalid strategy number 0" for RANGE and HASH partitioned tables.

* Skip .DS_Store files in server side utilsDaniel Gustafsson2024-02-13

* Remove race condition in pg_get_expr().Tom Lane2024-02-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since its introduction, pg_get_expr() has intended to silently return NULL if called with an invalid relation OID, as can happen when scanning the catalogs concurrently with relation drops. However, there is a race condition: we check validity of the OID at the start, but it could get dropped just afterward, leading to failures. This is the cause of some intermittent instability we're seeing in a proposed new test case, and presumably it's a hazard in the field as well. We can fix this by AccessShareLock-ing the target relation for the duration of pg_get_expr(). Since we don't require any permissions on the target relation, this is semantically a bit undesirable. But it turns out that the set_relation_column_names() subroutine already takes a transient AccessShareLock on that relation, and has done since commit 2ffa740be in 2012. Given the lack of complaints about that, it seems like there should be no harm in holding the lock a bit longer. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* Fix propagation of persistence to sequences in ALTER TABLE / ADD COLUMNPeter Eisentraut2024-02-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix for 344d62fb9a9: That commit introduced unlogged sequences and made it so that identity/serial sequences automatically get the persistence level of their owning table. But this works only for CREATE TABLE and not for ALTER TABLE / ADD COLUMN. The latter would always create the sequence as logged (default), independent of the persistence setting of the table. This is fixed here. Note: It is allowed to change the persistence of identity sequences directly using ALTER SEQUENCE. So mistakes in existing databases can be fixed manually.

* Run REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW CONCURRENTLY in right security contextHeikki Linnakangas2024-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The internal commands in REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW CONCURRENTLY are correctly executed in SECURITY_RESTRICTED_OPERATION mode, except for creating the temporary "diff" table, because you cannot create temporary tables in SRO mode. But creating the temporary "diff" table is a pretty complex CTAS command that selects from another temporary table created earlier in the command. If you can cajole that CTAS command to execute code defined by the table owner, the table owner can run code with the privileges of the user running the REFRESH command. The proof-of-concept reported to the security team relied on CREATE RULE to convert the internally-built temp table to a view. That's not possible since commit b23cd185fd, and I was not able to find a different way to turn the SELECT on the temp table into code execution, so as far as I know this is only exploitable in v15 and below. That's a fiddly assumption though, so apply this patch to master and all stable versions. Thanks to Pedro Gallegos for the report. Security: CVE-2023-5869 Reviewed-by: Noah Misch

* Handle interleavings between CREATE DATABASE steps and base backup.Noah Misch2024-02-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Restoring a base backup taken in the middle of CreateDirAndVersionFile() or write_relmap_file() would lose the function's effects. The symptom was absence of the database directory, PG_VERSION file, or pg_filenode.map. If missing the directory, recovery would fail. Either missing file would not fail recovery but would render the new database unusable. Fix CreateDirAndVersionFile() with the transam/README "action first and then write a WAL entry" strategy. That has a side benefit of moving filesystem mutations out of a critical section, reducing the ways to PANIC. Fix the write_relmap_file() call with a lock acquisition, so it interacts with checkpoints like non-CREATE DATABASE calls do.

* Apply band-aid fix for an oversight in reparameterize_path_by_child.Tom Lane2024-02-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The path we wish to reparameterize is not a standalone object: in particular, it implicitly references baserestrictinfo clauses in the associated RelOptInfo, and if it's a SampleScan path then there is also the TableSampleClause in the RTE to worry about. Both of those could contain lateral references to the join partner relation, which would need to be modified to refer to its child. Since we aren't doing that, affected queries can give wrong answers, or odd failures such as "variable not found in subplan target list", or executor crashes. But we can't just summarily modify those expressions, because they are shared with other paths for the rel. We'd break things if we modify them and then end up using some non-partitioned-join path. In HEAD, we plan to fix this by postponing reparameterization until create_plan(), when we know that those other paths are no longer of interest, and then adjusting those expressions along with the ones in the path itself. That seems like too big a change for stable branches however. In the back branches, let's just detect whether any troublesome lateral references actually exist in those expressions, and fail reparameterization if so. This will result in not performing a partitioned join in such cases. Given the lack of field complaints, nobody's likely to miss the optimization. Report and patch by Richard Guo. Apply to 12-16 only, since the intended fix for HEAD looks quite different. We're not quite ready to push the HEAD fix, but with back-branch releases coming up soon, it seems wise to get this stopgap fix in place there.

* Fix various issues with ALTER TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATIONMichael Paquier2024-01-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit addresses a set of issues when changing token type mappings in a text search configuration when using duplicated token names: - ADD MAPPING would fail on insertion because of a constraint failure after inserting the same mapping. - ALTER MAPPING with an "overridden" configuration failed with "tuple already updated by self" when the token mappings are removed. - DROP MAPPING failed with "tuple already updated by self", like previously, but in a different code path. The code is refactored so the token names (with their numbers) are handled as a List with unique members rather than an array with numbers, ensuring that no duplicates mess up with the catalog inserts, updates and deletes. The list is generated by getTokenTypes(), with the same error handling as previously while duplicated tokens are discarded from the list used to work on the catalogs. Regression tests are expanded to cover much more ground for the cases fixed by this commit, as there was no coverage for the code touched in this commit. A bit more is done regarding the fact that a token name not supported by a configuration's parser should result in an error even if IF EXISTS is used in a DROP MAPPING clause. This is implied in the code but there was no coverage for that, and it was very easy to miss. These issues exist since at least their introduction in core with 140d4ebcb46e, so backpatch all the way down.
