* Add prefix checks in exclude lists for pg_rewind, pg_checksums and base backupsMichael Paquier2020-02-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | An instance of PostgreSQL crashing with a bad timing could leave behind temporary pg_internal.init files, potentially causing failures when verifying checksums. As the same exclusion lists are used between pg_rewind, pg_checksums and basebackup.c, all those tools are extended with prefix checks to keep everything in sync, with dedicated checks added for pg_internal.init. Backpatch down to 11, where pg_checksums (pg_verify_checksums in 11) and checksum verification for base backups have been introduced.

* Fix mesurement of elapsed time during truncating heap in VACUUM.Fujii Masao2020-02-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | VACUUM may truncate heap in several batches. The activity report is logged for each batch, and contains the number of pages in the table before and after the truncation, and also the elapsed time during the truncation. Previously the elapsed time reported in each batch was the total elapsed time since starting the truncation until finishing each batch. For example, if the truncation was processed dividing into three batches, the second batch reported the accumulated time elapsed during both first and second batches. This is strange and confusing because the number of pages in the table reported together is not total. Instead, each batch should report the time elapsed during only that batch. The cause of this issue was that the resource usage snapshot was initialized only at the beginning of the truncation and was never reset later. This commit fixes the issue by changing VACUUM so that the resource usage snapshot is reset at each batch. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* Stop demanding that top xact must be seen before subxact in decoding.Amit Kapila2020-02-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Manifested as ERROR: subtransaction logged without previous top-level txn record this check forbids legit behaviours like - First xl_xact_assignment record is beyond reading, i.e. earlier restart_lsn. - After restart_lsn there is some change of a subxact. - After that, there is second xl_xact_assignment (for another subxact) revealing the relationship between top and first subxact. Such a transaction won't be streamed anyway because we hadn't seen it in full. Saying for sure whether xact of some record encountered after the snapshot was deserialized can be streamed or not requires to know whether it wrote something before deserialization point --if yes, it hasn't been seen in full and can't be decoded. Snapshot doesn't have such info, so there is no easy way to relax the check.

* Store the deletion horizon XID for a deleted GIN page on the right page.Tom Lane2020-02-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit b10714080 moved the GinPageSetDeleteXid() call to a spot where the "page" variable was pointing to the wrong page, causing the XID to be inserted on a page that's not being deleted, thus allowing later GinPageIsRecyclable tests to recycle the deleted page too soon.

* Fix bug in LWLock statistics mechanism.Fujii Masao2020-02-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously PostgreSQL built with -DLWLOCK_STATS could report more than one LWLock statistics entries for the same backend process and the same LWLock. This is strange and only one statistics should be output in that case, instead. The cause of this issue is that the key variable used for LWLock stats hash table was not fully initialized. The key consists of two fields and they were initialized. But the following 4 bytes allocated in the key variable for the alignment was not initialized. So even if the same key was specified, hash_search(HASH_ENTER) could not find the existing entry for that key and created new one. This commit fixes this issue by initializing the key variable with zero. As the side effect of this commit, the volume of LWLock statistics output would be reduced very much.

* Force tuple conversion when the source has missing attributes.Andrew Gierth2020-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Tuple conversion incorrectly concluded that no conversion was needed as long as all the attributes lined up. But if the source tuple has a missing attribute (from addition of a column with default), then the destination tupdesc might not reflect the same default. The typical symptom was that the affected columns would be unexpectedly NULL. Repair by always forcing conversion if the source has missing attributes, which will be filled in by the deform operation. (In theory we could optimize for when the destination has the same default, but that seemed overkill.) Backpatch to 11 where missing attributes were added. Per bug #16242.

* Fix handling of "Subplans Removed" field in EXPLAIN output.Tom Lane2020-02-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 499be013d added this field in a rather poorly-thought-through manner, with the result being that rather than being a field of the Append or MergeAppend plan node as intended (and as it seems to be, in text format), it was actually an element of the "Plans" subgroup. At least in JSON format, that's flat out invalid syntax, because "Plans" is an array not an object. While it's not hard to move the generation of the field so that it appears where it's supposed to, this does result in a visible change in field order in text format, in cases where a Append or MergeAppend plan node has any InitPlans attached. That's slightly annoying to do in stable branches; but the alternative of continuing to emit broken non-text formats seems worse. Also, since the set of fields emitted is not supposed to be data-dependent in non-text formats, make sure that "Subplans Removed" appears in Append and MergeAppend nodes even when it's zero, in those formats. (The previous coding made it look like it could appear in some other node types such as BitmapAnd, but we don't actually support runtime pruning there, so don't emit it in those cases.)

* Fix slot data persistency when advancing physical replication slotsMichael Paquier2020-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Advancing a physical replication slot with pg_replication_slot_advance() did not mark the slot as dirty if any advancing was done, preventing the follow-up checkpoint to flush the slot data to disk. This caused the advancing to be lost even on clean restarts. This does not happen for logical slots as any advancing marked the slot as dirty. Per discussion, the original feature has been implemented so as in the event of a crash the slot may move backwards to a past LSN. This property is kept and more documentation is added about that.

* Fix an oversight in commit 4c70098ff.Tom Lane2020-01-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I had supposed that the from_char_seq_search() call sites were all passing the constant arrays you'd expect them to pass ... but on looking closer, the one for DY format was passing the days[] array not days_short[]. This accidentally worked because the day abbreviations in English are all the same as the first three letters of the full day names. However, once we took out the "maximum comparison length" logic, it stopped working. As penance for that oversight, add regression test cases covering this, as well as every other switch case in DCH_from_char() that was not reached according to the code coverage report. Also, fold the DCH_RM and DCH_rm cases into one --- now that seq_search is case independent, there's no need to pass different comparison arrays for those cases. Back-patch, as the previous commit was.
* Clean up formatting.c's logic for matching constant strings.Tom Lane2020-01-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | seq_search(), which is used to match input substrings to constants such as month and day names, had a lot of bizarre and unnecessary behaviors. It was mostly possible to avert our eyes from that before, but we don't want to duplicate those behaviors in the upcoming patch to allow recognition of non-English month and day names. So it's time to clean this up. In particular: * seq_search scribbled on the input string, which is a pretty dangerous thing to do, especially in the badly underdocumented way it was done here. Fortunately the input string is a temporary copy, but that was being made three subroutine levels away, making it something easy to break accidentally. The behavior is externally visible nonetheless, in the form of odd case-folding in error reports about unrecognized month/day names. The scribbling is evidently being done to save a few calls to pg_tolower, but that's such a cheap function (at least for ASCII data) that it's pretty pointless to worry about. In HEAD I switched it to be pg_ascii_tolower to ensure it is cheap in all cases; but there are corner cases in Turkish where this'd change behavior, so leave it as pg_tolower in the back branches. * seq_search insisted on knowing the case form (all-upper, all-lower, or initcap) of the constant strings, so that it didn't have to case-fold them to perform case-insensitive comparisons. This likewise seems like excessive micro-optimization, given that pg_tolower is certainly very cheap for ASCII data. It seems unsafe to assume that we know the case form that will come out of pg_locale.c for localized month/day names, so it's better just to define the comparison rule as "downcase all strings before comparing". (The choice between downcasing and upcasing is arbitrary so far as English is concerned, but it might not be in other locales, so follow citext's lead here.) * seq_search also had a parameter that'd cause it to report a match after a maximum number of characters, even if the constant string were longer than that. This was not actually used because no caller passed a value small enough to cut off a comparison. Replicating that behavior for localized month/day names seems expensive as well as useless, so let's get rid of that too. * from_char_seq_search used the maximum-length parameter to truncate the input string in error reports about not finding a matching name. This leads to rather confusing reports in many cases. Worse, it is outright dangerous if the input string isn't all-ASCII, because we risk truncating the string in the middle of a multibyte character. That'd lead either to delivering an illegible error message to the client, or to encoding-conversion failures that obscure the actual data problem. Get rid of that in favor of truncating at whitespace if any (a suggestion due to Alvaro Herrera). In addition to fixing these things, I const-ified the input string pointers of DCH_from_char and its subroutines, to make sure there aren't any other scribbling-on-input problems. The risk of generating a badly-encoded error message seems like enough of a bug to justify back-patching, so patch all supported branches.

* Fix concurrent indexing operations with temporary tablesMichael Paquier2020-01-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Attempting to use CREATE INDEX, DROP INDEX or REINDEX with CONCURRENTLY on a temporary relation with ON COMMIT actions triggered unexpected errors because those operations use multiple transactions internally to complete their work. Here is for example one confusing error when using ON COMMIT DELETE ROWS: ERROR: index "foo" already contains data Issues related to temporary relations and concurrent indexing are fixed in this commit by enforcing the non-concurrent path to be taken for temporary relations even if using CONCURRENTLY, transparently to the user. Using a non-concurrent path does not matter in practice as locks cannot be taken on a temporary relation by a session different than the one owning the relation, and the non-concurrent operation is more effective. The problem exists with REINDEX since v12 with the introduction of CONCURRENTLY, and with CREATE/DROP INDEX since CONCURRENTLY exists for those commands. In all supported versions, this caused only confusing error messages to be generated. Note that with REINDEX, it was also possible to issue a REINDEX CONCURRENTLY for a temporary relation owned by a different session, leading to a server crash. The idea to enforce transparently the non-concurrent code path for temporary relations comes originally from Andres Freund.

* Fix edge case leading to agg transitions skipping ExecAggTransReparent() calls.Andres Freund2020-01-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The code checking whether an aggregate transition value needs to be reparented into the current context has always only compared the transition return value with the previous transition value by datum, i.e. without regard for NULLness. This normally works, because when the transition function returns NULL (via fcinfo->isnull), it'll return a value that won't be the same as its input value. But there's no hard requirement that that's the case. And it turns out, it's possible to hit this case (see discussion or reproducers), leading to a non-null transition value not being reparented, followed by a crash caused by that. Instead of adding another comparison of NULLness, instead have ExecAggTransReparent() ensure that pergroup->transValue ends up as 0 when the new transition value is NULL. That avoids having to add an additional branch to the much more common cases of the transition function returning the old transition value (which is a pointer in this case), and when the new value is different, but not NULL. In branches since 69c3936a149, also deduplicate the reparenting code between the expression evaluation based transitions, and the path for ordered aggregates.

* Repair more failures with SubPlans in multi-row VALUES lists.Tom Lane2020-01-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 9b63c13f0 turns out to have been fundamentally misguided: the parent node's subPlan list is by no means the only way in which a child SubPlan node can be hooked into the outer execution state. As shown in bug #16213 from Matt Jibson, we can also get short-lived tuple table slots added to the outer es_tupleTable list. At this point I have little faith that there aren't other possible connections as well; the long time it took to notice this problem shows that this isn't a heavily-exercised situation. Therefore, revert that fix, returning to the coding that passed a NULL parent plan pointer down to the transiently-built subexpressions. That gives us a pretty good guarantee that they won't hook into the outer executor state in any way. But then we need some other solution to make SubPlans work. Adopt the solution speculated about in the previous commit's log message: do expression initialization at plan startup for just those VALUES rows containing SubPlans, abandoning the goal of reclaiming memory intra-query for those rows. In practice it seems unlikely that queries containing a vast number of VALUES rows would be using SubPlans in them, so this should not give up much. (BTW, this test case also refutes my claim in connection with the prior commit that the issue only arises with use of LATERAL. That was just wrong: some variants of SubLink always produce SubPlans.)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When estimating the selectivity of "range_var <@ range_constant" or "range_var @> range_constant", if the upper (or respectively lower) bound of the range_constant was above the last bin of the range_var's histogram, the code would access uninitialized memory and potentially crash (though it seems the probability of a crash is quite low). Handle the endpoint cases explicitly to fix that. While at it, be more paranoid about the possibility of getting NaN or other silly results from the range type's subdiff function. And improve some comments. Ordinarily we'd probably add a regression test case demonstrating the bug in unpatched code. But it's too hard to get it to crash reliably because of the uninitialized-memory dependence, so skip that. Per bug #16122 from Adam Scott. It's been broken from the beginning, apparently, so backpatch to all supported branches. Diagnosis by Michael Paquier, patch by Andrey Borodin and Tom Lane.

* Remove incorrect assertion for INSERT in logical replication's publisherMichael Paquier2020-01-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On the publisher, it was assumed that an INSERT change cannot happen for a relation with no replica identity. However this is true only for a change that needs references to old rows, aka UPDATE or DELETE, so trying to use logical replication with a relation that has no replica identity led to an assertion failure in the publisher when issuing an INSERT. This commit removes the incorrect assertion, and adds more regression tests to provide coverage for relations without replica identity.

* Maintain valid md.c state when FileClose() fails.Noah Misch2020-01-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | FileClose() failure ordinarily causes a PANIC. Suppose the user disables that PANIC via data_sync_retry=on. After mdclose() issued a FileClose() that failed, calls into md.c raised SIGSEGV. This fix adds repalloc() calls during mdclose(); update a comment about ignoring repalloc() cost. The rate of relation segment count change is a minor factor; more relevant to overall performance is the rate of mdclose() and subsequent re-opening of segments.

* Reimplement nullification of walsender timestampAlvaro Herrera2020-01-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make the value null only at pg_stat_activity-output time, as suggested by Tom Lane, instead of messing with the internal state. This should appease buildfarm members with force_parallel_mode=regress, which are running parallel queries on logical replication walsenders. The fact that walsenders can run parallel queries should perhaps be studied more carefully, but for the moment let's get rid of the red blots in buildfarm.

* pg_stat_activity: show NULL stmt start time for walsendersAlvaro Herrera2020-01-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Returning a non-NULL time is pointless, sinc a walsender is not a process that would be running normal transactions anyway, but the code was unintentionally exposing the process start time intermittently, which was not only bogus but it also confused monitoring systems looking for idle transactions. Fix by avoiding all updates in walsenders. Backpatch to 11, where walsenders started appearing in pg_stat_activity.

* Fix cloning of row triggers to sub-partitionsAlvaro Herrera2020-01-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | When row triggers exist in partitioned partitions that are not either part of FKs or deferred unique constraints, they are not correctly cloned to their partitions. That's because they are marked "internal", and those are purposefully skipped when doing the clone triggers dance. Fix by relaxing the condition on which internal triggers are skipped. Amit Langote initially diagnosed the problem and proposed a fix, but I used a different approach.

* Fix running out of file descriptors for spill files.Amit Kapila2020-01-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently while decoding changes, if the number of changes exceeds a certain threshold, we spill those to disk.  And this happens for each (sub)transaction.  Now, while reading all these files, we don't close them until we read all the files.  While reading these files, if the number of such files exceeds the maximum number of file descriptors, the operation errors out. Use PathNameOpenFile interface to open these files as that internally has the mechanism to release kernel FDs as needed to get us under the max_safe_fds limit.

* Forbid DROP SCHEMA on temporary namespacesMichael Paquier2019-12-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This operation was possible for the owner of the schema or a superuser. Down to 9.4, doing this operation would cause inconsistencies in a session whose temporary schema was dropped, particularly if trying to create new temporary objects after the drop. A more annoying consequence is a crash of autovacuum on an assertion failure when logging information about an orphaned temp table dropped. Note that because of 246a6c8 (present in v11~), which has made the removal of orphaned temporary tables more aggressive, the failure could be triggered more easily, but it is possible to reproduce down to 9.4.

* Rotate instead of shifting hash join batch number.Thomas Munro2019-12-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Our algorithm for choosing batch numbers turned out not to work effectively for multi-billion key inner relations. We would use more hash bits than we have, and effectively concentrate all tuples into a smaller number of batches than we intended. While ideally we should switch to wider hashes, for now, change the algorithm to one that effectively gives up bits from the bucket number when we don't have enough bits. That means we'll finish up with longer bucket chains than would be ideal, but that's better than having batches that don't fit in work_mem and can't be divided. Batch-patch to all supported releases.

* Disallow partition key expressions that return pseudo-types.Tom Lane2019-12-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This wasn't checked originally, but it should have been, because in general pseudo-types can't be stored to and retrieved from disk. Notably, partition bound values of type "record" would not be interpretable by another session. In v12 and HEAD, add another flag to CheckAttributeType's repertoire so that it can produce a specific error message for this case. That's infeasible in older branches without an ABI break, so fall back to a slightly-less-nicely-worded error message in v10 and v11. Problem noted by Amit Langote, though this patch is not his initial solution. Back-patch to v10 where partitioning was introduced.

* Fix error reporting for index expressions of prohibited types.Tom Lane2019-12-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If CheckAttributeType() threw an error about the datatype of an index expression column, it would report an empty column name, which is pretty unhelpful and certainly not the intended behavior. I (tgl) evidently broke this in commit cfc5008a5, by not noticing that the column's attname was used above where I'd placed the assignment of it. In HEAD and v12, this is trivially fixable by moving up the assignment of attname. Before v12 the code is a bit more messy; to avoid doing substantial refactoring, I took the lazy way out and just put in two copies of the assignment code. Report and patch by Amit Langote.

And, for group update, we only care about the current number of children for a transaction that is being committed.

* Remove redundant function calls in timestamp[tz]_part().Tom Lane2019-12-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The DTK_DOW/DTK_ISODOW and DTK_DOY switch cases in timestamp_part() and timestamptz_part() contained calls of timestamp2tm() that were fully redundant with the ones done just above the switch. This evidently crept in during commit 258ee1b63, which relocated that code from another place where the calls were indeed needed. Just delete the redundant calls. I (tgl) noted that our test coverage of these functions left quite a bit to be desired, so extend timestamp.sql and timestamptz.sql to cover all the branches. Back-patch to all supported branches, as the previous commit was.
