* Suppress "Factory" zone in pg_timezone_names view for tzdata >= 2016g.Tom Lane2016-10-19
| | | | | | IANA got rid of the really silly "abbreviation" and replaced it with one that's only moderately silly. But it's still pointless, so keep on not showing it.
* Fix WAL-logging of FSM and VM truncation.Heikki Linnakangas2016-10-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a relation is truncated, it is important that the FSM is truncated as well. Otherwise, after recovery, the FSM can return a page that has been truncated away, leading to errors like: ERROR: could not read block 28991 in file "base/16390/572026": read only 0 of 8192 bytes We were using MarkBufferDirtyHint() to dirty the buffer holding the last remaining page of the FSM, but during recovery, that might in fact not dirty the page, and the FSM update might be lost. To fix, use the stronger MarkBufferDirty() function. MarkBufferDirty() requires us to do WAL-logging ourselves, to protect from a torn page, if checksumming is enabled. Also fix an oversight in visibilitymap_truncate: it also needs to WAL-log when checksumming is enabled. Analysis by Pavan Deolasee. Discussion: <CABOikdNr5vKucqyZH9s1Mh0XebLs_jRhKv6eJfNnD2wxTn=_9A@mail.gmail.com> Backpatch to 9.3, where we got data checksums.
* Fix cidin() to handle values above 2^31 platform-independently.Tom Lane2016-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | CommandId is declared as uint32, and values up to 4G are indeed legal. cidout() handles them properly by treating the value as unsigned int. But cidin() was just using atoi(), which has platform-dependent behavior for values outside the range of signed int, as reported by Bart Lengkeek in bug #14379. Use strtoul() instead, as xidin() does. In passing, make some purely cosmetic changes to make xidin/xidout look more like cidin/cidout; the former didn't have a monopoly on best practice IMO. Neither xidin nor cidin make any attempt to throw error for invalid input. I didn't change that here, and am not sure it's worth worrying about since neither is really a user-facing type. The point is just to ensure that indubitably-valid inputs work as expected. It's been like this for a long time, so back-patch to all supported branches.

* Fix assorted integer-overflow hazards in varbit.c.Tom Lane2016-10-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | bitshiftright() and bitshiftleft() would recursively call each other infinitely if the user passed INT_MIN for the shift amount, due to integer overflow in negating the shift amount. To fix, clamp to -VARBITMAXLEN. That doesn't change the results since any shift distance larger than the input bit string's length produces an all-zeroes result. Also fix some places that seemed inadequately paranoid about input typmods exceeding VARBITMAXLEN. While a typmod accepted by anybit_typmodin() will certainly be much less than that, at least some of these spots are reachable with user-chosen integer values.

* Fix handling of pgstat counters for TRUNCATE in a prepared transaction.Tom Lane2016-10-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | pgstat_twophase_postcommit is supposed to duplicate the math in AtEOXact_PgStat, but it had missed out the bit about clearing t_delta_live_tuples/t_delta_dead_tuples for a TRUNCATE. It's harder than you might think to replicate the issue here, because those counters would only be nonzero when a previous transaction in the same backend had added/deleted tuples in the truncated table, and those counts hadn't been sent to the stats collector yet. Evident oversight in commit d42358efb. I've not added a regression test for this; we tried to add one in d42358efb, and had to revert it because it was too timing-sensitive for the buildfarm. Back-patch to 9.5 where d42358efb came in. Stas Kelvich Discussion: <EB57BF68-C06D-4737-BDDC-4BA778F4E62B@postgrespro.ru>
* Fix another bug in merging of inherited CHECK constraints.Tom Lane2016-10-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's not good for an inherited child constraint to be marked connoinherit; that would result in the constraint not propagating to grandchild tables, if any are created later. The code mostly prevented this from happening but there was one case that was missed. This is somewhat related to commit e55a946a8, which also tightened checks on constraint merging. Hence, back-patch to 9.2 like that one. This isn't so much because there's a concrete feature-related reason to stop there, as to avoid having more distinct behaviors than we have to in this area.

* Try to find out the actual hugepage size when making a MAP_HUGETLB request.Tom Lane2016-10-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Even if Linux's mmap() is okay with a partial-hugepage request, munmap() is not, as reported by Chris Richards. Therefore it behooves us to try a bit harder to find out the actual hugepage size, instead of assuming that we can skate by with a guess. For the moment, just look into /proc/meminfo to find out the default hugepage size, and use that. Later, on kernels that support requests for nondefault sizes, we might try to consider other alternatives. But that smells more like a new feature than a bug fix, especially if we want to provide any way for the DBA to control it, so leave it for another day. I set this up to allow easy addition of platform-specific code for non-Linux platforms, if needed; but right now there are no reports suggesting that we need to work harder on other platforms. Back-patch to 9.4 where hugepage support was introduced. Discussion: <31056.1476303954@sss.pgh.pa.us>
* Clean up handling of anonymous mmap'd shared-memory segment.Tom Lane2016-10-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix detaching of the mmap'd segment to have its own on_shmem_exit callback, rather than piggybacking on the one for detaching from the SysV segment. That was confusing, and given the distance between the two attach calls, it was trouble waiting to happen. Make the detaching calls idempotent by clearing AnonymousShmem to show we've already unmapped. I spent quite a bit of time yesterday trying to find a path that would allow the munmap()'s to be done twice, and while I did not succeed, it seems silly that there's even a question. Make the #ifdef logic less confusing by separating "do we want to use anonymous shmem" from EXEC_BACKEND. Even though there's no current scenario where those conditions are different, it is not helpful for different places in the same file to be testing EXEC_BACKEND for what are fundamentally different reasons. Don't do on_exit_reset() in StartBackgroundWorker(). At best that's useless (InitPostmasterChild would have done it already) and at worst it could zap some callback that's unrelated to shared memory. Improve comments, and simplify the huge_pages enablement logic slightly. Back-patch to 9.4 where hugepage support was introduced. Arguably this should go into 9.3 as well, but the code looks significantly different there, and I doubt it's worth the trouble of adapting the patch given I can't show a live bug.
* Fix two bugs in merging of inherited CHECK constraints.Tom Lane2016-10-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Historically, we've allowed users to add a CHECK constraint to a child table and then add an identical CHECK constraint to the parent. This results in "merging" the two constraints so that the pre-existing child constraint ends up with both conislocal = true and coninhcount > 0. However, if you tried to do it in the other order, you got a duplicate constraint error. This is problematic for pg_dump, which needs to issue separated ADD CONSTRAINT commands in some cases, but has no good way to ensure that the constraints will be added in the required order. And it's more than a bit arbitrary, too. The goal of complaining about duplicated ADD CONSTRAINT commands can be served if we reject the case of adding a constraint when the existing one already has conislocal = true; but if it has conislocal = false, let's just make the ADD CONSTRAINT set conislocal = true. In this way, either order of adding the constraints has the same end result. Another problem was that the code allowed creation of a parent constraint marked convalidated that is merged with a child constraint that is !convalidated. In this case, an inheritance scan of the parent table could emit some rows violating the constraint condition, which would be an unexpected result given the marking of the parent constraint as validated. Hence, forbid merging of constraints in this case. (Note: valid child and not-valid parent seems fine, so continue to allow that.) Per report from Benedikt Grundmann. Back-patch to 9.2 where we introduced possibly-not-valid check constraints. The second bug obviously doesn't apply before that, and I think the first doesn't either, because pg_dump only gets into this situation when dealing with not-valid constraints.

* libpqwalreceiver needs to link with libintl when using --enable-nls.Tom Lane2016-10-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The need for this was previously obscured even on picky platforms by the hack we used to support direct cross-module references in the transforms contrib modules. Now that that hack is gone, the undefined symbol is exposed, as reported by Robert Haas. Back-patch to 9.5 where we started to use -Wl,-undefined,dynamic_lookup. I'm a bit surprised that the older branches don't seem to contain any gettext references in this module, but since they don't fail at build time, they must not. (We might be able to get away with leaving this alone in 9.5/9.6, but I think it's cleaner if the reference gets resolved at link time.)

* Fix fallback implementation of pg_atomic_write_u32().Andres Freund2016-10-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I somehow had assumed that in the spinlock (in turn possibly using semaphores) based fallback atomics implementation 32 bit writes could be done without a lock. As far as the write goes that's correct, since postgres supports only platforms with single-copy atomicity for aligned 32bit writes. But writing without holding the spinlock breaks read-modify-write operations like pg_atomic_compare_exchange_u32(), since they'll potentially "miss" a concurrent write, which can't happen in actual hardware implementations. In 9.6+ when using the fallback atomics implementation this could lead to buffer header locks not being properly marked as released, and potentially some related state corruption. I don't see a related danger in 9.5 (earliest release with the API), because pg_atomic_write_u32() wasn't used in a concurrent manner there. The state variable of local buffers, before this change, were manipulated using pg_atomic_write_u32(), to avoid unnecessary synchronization overhead. As that'd not be the case anymore, introduce and use pg_atomic_unlocked_write_u32(), which does not correctly interact with RMW operations. This bug only caused issues when postgres is compiled on platforms without atomics support (i.e. no common new platform), or when compiled with --disable-atomics, which explains why this wasn't noticed in testing. Reported-By: Tom Lane Discussion: <14947.1475690465@sss.pgh.pa.us> Backpatch: 9.5-, where the atomic operations API was introduced.
* Correct logical decoding restore behaviour for subtransactions.Andres Freund2016-10-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before initializing iteration over a subtransaction's changes, the last few changes were not spilled to disk. That's correct if the transaction didn't spill to disk, but otherwise... This bug can lead to missed or misorderd subtransaction contents when they were spilled to disk. Move spilling of the remaining in-memory changes to ReorderBufferIterTXNInit(), where it can easily be applied to the top transaction and, if present, subtransactions. Since this code had too many bugs already, noticeably increase test coverage. Fixes: #14319 Reported-By: Huan Ruan Discussion: <20160909012610.20024.58169@wrigleys.postgresql.org> Backport: 9,4-, where logical decoding was added
* Show a sensible value in pg_settings.unit for GUC_UNIT_XSEGS variables.Tom Lane2016-10-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 88e982302 invented GUC_UNIT_XSEGS for min_wal_size and max_wal_size, but neglected to make it display sensibly in pg_settings.unit (by adding a case to the switch in GetConfigOptionByNum). Fix that, and adjust said switch to throw a run-time error the next time somebody forgets. In passing, avoid using a static buffer for the output string --- the rest of this function pstrdup's from a local buffer, and I see no very good reason why the units code should do it differently and less safely. Per report from Otar Shavadze. Back-patch to 9.5 where the new unit type was added. Report: <CAG-jOyA=iNFhN+yB4vfvqh688B7Tr5SArbYcFUAjZi=0Exp-Lg@mail.gmail.com>
* Fix RLS with COPY (col1, col2) FROM tabStephen Frost2016-10-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Attempting to COPY a subset of columns from a table with RLS enabled would fail due to an invalid query being constructed (using a single ColumnRef with the list of fields to exact in 'fields', but that's for the different levels of an indirection for a single column, not for specifying multiple columns). Correct by building a ColumnRef and then RestTarget for each column being requested and then adding those to the targetList for the select query. Include regression tests to hopefully catch if this is broken again in the future. Patch-By: Adam Brightwell Reviewed-By: Michael Paquier
* Do ClosePostmasterPorts() earlier in SubPostmasterMain().Tom Lane2016-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In standard Unix builds, postmaster child processes do ClosePostmasterPorts immediately after InitPostmasterChild, that is almost immediately after being spawned. This is important because we don't want children holding open the postmaster's end of the postmaster death watch pipe. However, in EXEC_BACKEND builds, SubPostmasterMain was postponing this responsibility significantly, in order to make it slightly more convenient to pass the right flag value to ClosePostmasterPorts. This is bad, particularly seeing that process_shared_preload_libraries() might invoke nearly-arbitrary code. Rearrange so that we do it as soon as we've fetched the socket FDs via read_backend_variables(). Also move the comment explaining about randomize_va_space to before the call of PGSharedMemoryReAttach, which is where it's relevant. The old placement was appropriate when the reattach happened inside CreateSharedMemoryAndSemaphores, but that was a long time ago. Back-patch to 9.3; the patch doesn't apply cleanly before that, and it doesn't seem worth a lot of effort given that we've had no actual field complaints traceable to this.

* Include <sys/select.h> where neededAlvaro Herrera2016-09-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | <sys/select.h> is required by POSIX.1-2001 to get the prototype of select(2), but nearly no systems enforce that because older standards let you get away with including some other headers. Recent OpenBSD hacking has removed that frail touch of friendliness, however, which broke some compiles; fix all the way back to 9.1 by adding the required standard. Only vacuumdb.c was reported to fail, but it seems easier to fix the whole lot in a fell swoop. Per bug #14334 by Sean Farrell.
* Don't trust CreateFileMapping() to clear the error code on success.Tom Lane2016-09-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | We must test GetLastError() even when CreateFileMapping() returns a non-null handle. If that value were left over from some previous system call, we might be fooled into thinking the segment already existed. Experimentation on Windows 7 suggests that CreateFileMapping() clears the error code on success, but it is not documented to do so, so let's not rely on that happening in all Windows releases.

* Avoid using PostmasterRandom() for DSM control segment ID.Tom Lane2016-09-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commits 470d886c3 et al intended to fix the problem that the postmaster selected the same "random" DSM control segment ID on every start. But using PostmasterRandom() for that destroys the intended property that the delay between random_start_time and random_stop_time will be unpredictable. (Said delay is probably already more predictable than we could wish, but that doesn't mean that reducing it by a couple orders of magnitude is OK.) Revert the previous patch and add a comment warning against misuse of PostmasterRandom. Fix the original problem by calling srandom() early in PostmasterMain, using a low-security seed that will later be overwritten by PostmasterRandom. Discussion: <20789.1474390434@sss.pgh.pa.us>
* Be sure to rewind the tuplestore read pointer in non-leader CTEScan nodes.Tom Lane2016-09-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ExecInitCteScan supposed that it didn't have to do anything to the extra tuplestore read pointer it gets from tuplestore_alloc_read_pointer. However, it needs this read pointer to be positioned at the start of the tuplestore, while tuplestore_alloc_read_pointer is actually defined as cloning the current position of read pointer 0. In normal situations that accidentally works because we initialize the whole plan tree at once, before anything gets read. But it fails in an EvalPlanQual recheck, as illustrated in bug #14328 from Dima Pavlov. To fix, just forcibly rewind the pointer after tuplestore_alloc_read_pointer. The cost of doing so is negligible unless the tuplestore is already in TSS_READFILE state, which wouldn't happen in normal cases. We could consider altering tuplestore's API to make that case cheaper, but that would make for a more invasive back-patch and it doesn't seem worth it. This has been broken probably for as long as we've had CTEs, so back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: <32468.1474548308@sss.pgh.pa.us>
* Use PostmasterRandom(), not random(), for DSM control segment ID.Robert Haas2016-09-20
| | | | | Otherwise, every startup gets the same "random" value, which is definitely not what was intended.
* Retry DSM control segment creation if Windows indicates access denied.Robert Haas2016-09-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Otherwise, attempts to run multiple postmasters running on the same machine may fail, because Windows sometimes returns ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED rather than ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS when there is an existing segment. Hitting this bug is much more likely because of another defect not fixed by this patch, namely that dsm_postmaster_startup() uses random() which returns the same value every time. But that's not a reason not to fix this. Kyotaro Horiguchi and Amit Kapila, reviewed by Michael Paquier Discussion: <CAA4eK1JyNdMeF-dgrpHozDecpDfsRZUtpCi+1AbtuEkfG3YooQ@mail.gmail.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | LibreSSL defines OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to claim that it is version 2.0.0, but it doesn't have the functions added in OpenSSL 1.1.0. Add autoconf checks for the individual functions we need, and stop relying on OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER. Backport to 9.5 and 9.6, like the patch that broke this. In the back-branches, there are still a few OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER checks left, to check for OpenSSL 0.9.8 or 0.9.7.

This includes some new code in pgcrypto, to use the resource owner mechanism to ensure that we don't leak OpenSSL handles, now that we can't embed them in other structs anymore. - RAND_SSLeay() -> RAND_OpenSSL() Changes that were needed to silence deprecation warnings, but were not strictly necessary: - RAND_pseudo_bytes() -> RAND_bytes(). - SSL_library_init() and OpenSSL_config() -> OPENSSL_init_ssl() - ASN1_STRING_data() -> ASN1_STRING_get0_data() - DH_generate_parameters() -> DH_generate_parameters() - Locking callbacks are not needed with OpenSSL 1.1.0 anymore. (Good riddance!) Also change references to SSLEAY_VERSION_NUMBER with OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER, for the sake of consistency. OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER has existed since time immemorial. Fix SSL test suite to work with OpenSSL 1.1.0. CA certificates must have the "CA:true" basic constraint extension now, or OpenSSL will refuse them. Regenerate the test certificates with that. The "openssl" binary, used to generate the certificates, is also now more picky, and throws an error if an X509 extension is specified in "req_extensions", but that section is empty. Backpatch to 9.5 and 9.6, per popular demand. The file structure was somewhat different in earlier branches, so I didn't bother to go further than that. In back-branches, we still support OpenSSL 0.9.7 and above. OpenSSL 0.9.6 should still work too, but I didn't test it. In master, we only support 0.9.8 and above.

* Fix miserable coding in pg_stat_get_activity().Tom Lane2016-09-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit dd1a3bccc replaced a test on whether a subroutine returned a null pointer with a test on whether &pointer->backendStatus was null. This accidentally failed to fail, at least on common compilers, because backendStatus is the first field in the struct; but it was surely trouble waiting to happen. Commit f91feba87 then messed things up further, changing the logic to local_beentry = pgstat_fetch_stat_local_beentry(curr_backend); if (!local_beentry) continue; beentry = &local_beentry->backendStatus; if (!beentry) { where the second "if" is now dead code, so that the intended behavior of printing a row with "<backend information not available>" cannot occur. I suspect this is all moot because pgstat_fetch_stat_local_beentry will never actually return null in this function's usage, but it's still very poor coding. Repair back to 9.4 where the original problem was introduced.
* Fix locking a tuple updated by an aborted (sub)transactionAlvaro Herrera2016-09-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When heap_lock_tuple decides to follow the update chain, it tried to also lock any version of the tuple that was created by an update that was subsequently rolled back. This is pointless, since for all intents and purposes that tuple exists no more; and moreover it causes misbehavior, as reported independently by Marko Tiikkaja and Marti Raudsepp: some SELECT FOR UPDATE/SHARE queries may fail to return the tuples, and assertion-enabled builds crash. Fix by having heap_lock_updated_tuple test the xmin and return success immediately if the tuple was created by an aborted transaction. The condition where tuples become invisible occurs when an updated tuple chain is followed by heap_lock_updated_tuple, which reports the problem as HeapTupleSelfUpdated to its caller heap_lock_tuple, which in turn propagates that code outwards possibly leading the calling code (ExecLockRows) to believe that the tuple exists no longer. Backpatch to 9.3. Only on 9.5 and newer this leads to a visible failure, because of commit 27846f02c176; before that, heap_lock_tuple skips the whole dance when the tuple is already locked by the same transaction, because of the ancient HeapTupleSatisfiesUpdate behavior. Still, the buggy condition may also exist in more convoluted scenarios involving concurrent transactions, so it seems safer to fix the bug in the old branches too.

* Fix mdtruncate() to close fd.c handle of deleted segments.Andres Freund2016-09-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | mdtruncate() forgot to FileClose() a segment's mdfd_vfd, when deleting it. That lead to a fd.c handle to a truncated file being kept open until backend exit. The issue appears to have been introduced way back in 1a5c450f3024ac5, before that the handle was closed inside FileUnlink(). The impact of this bug is limited - only VACUUM and ON COMMIT TRUNCATE for temporary tables, truncate files in place (i.e. TRUNCATE itself is not affected), and the relation has to be bigger than 1GB. The consequences of a leaked fd.c handle aren't severe either. Discussion: <20160908220748.oqh37ukwqqncbl3n@alap3.anarazel.de> Backpatch: all supported releases
* Fix corrupt GIN_SEGMENT_ADDITEMS WAL records on big-endian hardware.Tom Lane2016-09-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | computeLeafRecompressWALData() tried to produce a uint16 WAL log field by memcpy'ing the first two bytes of an int-sized variable. That accidentally works on little-endian hardware, but not at all on big-endian. Replay then thinks it's looking at an ADDITEMS action with zero entries, and reads the first two bytes of the first TID therein as the next segno/action, typically leading to "unexpected GIN leaf action" errors during replay. Even if replay failed to crash, the resulting GIN index page would surely be incorrect. To fix, just declare the variable as uint16 instead. Per bug #14295 from Spencer Thomason (much thanks to Spencer for turning his problem into a self-contained test case).

* Don't require dynamic timezone abbreviations to match underlying time zone.Tom Lane2016-09-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, we threw an error if a dynamic timezone abbreviation did not match any abbreviation recorded in the referenced IANA time zone entry. That seemed like a good consistency check at the time, but it turns out that a number of the abbreviations in the IANA database are things that Olson and crew made up out of whole cloth. Their current policy is to remove such names in favor of using simple numeric offsets. Perhaps unsurprisingly, a lot of these made-up abbreviations have varied in meaning over time, which meant that our commit b2cbced9e and later changes made them into dynamic abbreviations. So with newer IANA database versions that don't mention these abbreviations at all, we fail, as reported in bug #14307 from Neil Anderson. It's worse than just a few unused-in-the-wild abbreviations not working, because the pg_timezone_abbrevs view stops working altogether (since its underlying function tries to compute the whole view result in one call). We considered deleting these abbreviations from our abbreviations list, but the problem with that is that we can't stay ahead of possible future IANA changes. Instead, let's leave the abbreviations list alone, and treat any "orphaned" dynamic abbreviation as just meaning the referenced time zone. It will behave a bit differently than it used to, in that you can't any longer override the zone's standard vs. daylight rule by using the "wrong" abbreviation of a pair, but that's better than failing entirely. (Also, this solution can be interpreted as adding a small new feature, which is that any abbreviation a user wants can be defined as referencing a time zone name.) Back-patch to all supported branches, since this problem affects all of them when using tzdata 2016f or newer.

* Prevent starting a standalone backend with standby_mode on.Tom Lane2016-08-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This can't really work because standby_mode expects there to be more WAL arriving, which there will not ever be because there's no WAL receiver process to fetch it. Moreover, if standby_mode is on then hot standby might also be turned on, causing even more strangeness because that expects read-only sessions to be executing in parallel. Bernd Helmle reported a case where btree_xlog_delete_get_latestRemovedXid got confused, but rather than band-aiding individual problems it seems best to prevent getting anywhere near this state in the first place. Back-patch to all supported branches. In passing, also fix some omissions of errcodes in other ereport's in readRecoveryCommandFile().

* Fix pg_xlogdump so that it handles cross-page XLP_FIRST_IS_CONTRECORD record.Fujii Masao2016-08-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously pg_xlogdump failed to dump the contents of the WAL file if the file starts with the continuation WAL record which spans more than one pages. Since pg_xlogdump assumed that the continuation record always fits on a page, it could not find the valid WAL record to start reading from in that case. This patch changes pg_xlogdump so that it can handle a continuation WAL record which crosses a page boundary and find the valid record to start reading from. Back-patch to 9.3 where pg_xlogdump was introduced. Author: Pavan Deolasee Reviewed-By: Michael Paquier and Craig Ringer Discussion: CABOikdPsPByMiG6J01DKq6om2+BNkxHTPkOyqHM2a4oYwGKsqQ@mail.gmail.com
* Fix potential memory leakage from HandleParallelMessages().Tom Lane2016-08-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | HandleParallelMessages leaked memory into the caller's context. Since it's called from ProcessInterrupts, there is basically zero certainty as to what CurrentMemoryContext is, which means we could be leaking into long-lived contexts. Over the processing of many worker messages that would grow to be a problem. Things could be even worse than just a leak, if we happened to service the interrupt while ErrorContext is current: elog.c thinks it can reset that on its own whim, possibly yanking storage out from under HandleParallelMessages. Give HandleParallelMessages its own dedicated context instead, which we can reset during each call to ensure there's no accumulation of wasted memory. Discussion: <16610.1472222135@sss.pgh.pa.us>
* Fix assorted small bugs in ThrowErrorData().Tom Lane2016-08-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Copy the palloc'd strings into the correct context, ie ErrorContext not wherever the source ErrorData is. This would be a large bug, except that it appears that all catchers of thrown errors do either EmitErrorReport or CopyErrorData before doing anything that would cause transient memory contexts to be cleaned up. Still, it's wrong and it will bite somebody someday. Fix failure to copy cursorpos and internalpos. Utter the appropriate incantations involving recursion_depth, so that we'll behave sanely if we get an error inside pstrdup. (In general, the body of this function ought to act like, eg, errdetail().) Per code reading induced by Jakob Egger's report.
* Fix small query-lifespan memory leak in bulk updates.Tom Lane2016-08-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | When there is an identifiable REPLICA IDENTITY index on the target table, heap_update leaks the id_attrs bitmapset. That's not many bytes, but it adds up over enough rows, since the code typically runs in a query-lifespan context. Bug introduced in commit e55704d8b, which did a rather poor job of cloning the existing use-pattern for RelationGetIndexAttrBitmap(). Per bug #14293 from Zhou Digoal.

* Fix improper repetition of previous results from a hashed aggregate.Tom Lane2016-08-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ExecReScanAgg's check for whether it could re-use a previously calculated hashtable neglected the possibility that the Agg node might reference PARAM_EXEC Params that are not referenced by its input plan node. That's okay if the Params are in upper tlist or qual expressions; but if one appears in aggregate input expressions, then the hashtable contents need to be recomputed when the Param's value changes. To avoid unnecessary performance degradation in the case of a Param that isn't within an aggregate input, add logic to the planner to determine which Params are within aggregate inputs. This requires a new field in struct Agg, but fortunately we never write plans to disk, so this isn't an initdb-forcing change. Per report from Jeevan Chalke. This has been broken since forever, so back-patch to all supported branches. Andrew Gierth, with minor adjustments by me Report: <CAM2+6=VY8ykfLT5Q8vb9B6EbeBk-NGuLbT6seaQ+Fq4zXvrDcA@mail.gmail.com>
* Fix possible sorting error when aborting use of abbreviated keys.Robert Haas2016-08-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Due to an error in the abbreviated key abort logic, the most recently processed SortTuple could be incorrectly marked NULL, resulting in an incorrect final sort order. In the worst case, this could result in a corrupt btree index, which would need to be rebuild using REINDEX. However, abbrevation doesn't abort very often, not all data types use it, and only one tuple would end up in the wrong place, so the practical impact of this mistake may be somewhat limited. Report and patch by Peter Geoghegan.
* reorderbuffer: preserve errno while reporting errorAlvaro Herrera2016-08-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | Clobbering errno during cleanup after an error is an oft-repeated, easy to make mistake. Deal with it here as everywhere else, by saving it aside and restoring after cleanup, before ereport'ing. In passing, add a missing errcode declaration in another ereport() call in the same file, which I noticed while skimming the file looking for similar problems. Backpatch to 9.4, where this code was introduced.
* Fix deletion of speculatively inserted TOAST on conflictAndres Freund2016-08-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | INSERT .. ON CONFLICT runs a pre-check of the possible conflicting constraints before performing the actual speculative insertion. In case the inserted tuple included TOASTed columns the ON CONFLICT condition would be handled correctly in case the conflict was caught by the pre-check, but if two transactions entered the speculative insertion phase at the same time, one would have to re-try, and the code for aborting a speculative insertion did not handle deleting the speculatively inserted TOAST datums correctly. TOAST deletion would fail with "ERROR: attempted to delete invisible tuple" as we attempted to remove the TOAST tuples using simple_heap_delete which reasoned that the given tuples should not be visible to the command that wrote them. This commit updates the heap_abort_speculative() function which aborts the conflicting tuple to use itself, via toast_delete, for deleting associated TOAST datums. Like before, the inserted toast rows are not marked as being speculative. This commit also adds a isolationtester spec test, exercising the relevant code path. Unfortunately 9.5 cannot handle two waiting sessions, and thus cannot execute this test.

* Properly re-initialize replication slot shared memory upon creation.Andres Freund2016-08-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Slot creation did not clear all fields upon creation. After start the memory is zeroed, but when a physical replication slot was created in the shared memory of a previously existing logical slot, catalog_xmin would not be cleared. That in turn would prevent vacuum from doing its duties. To fix initialize all the fields. To make similar future bugs less likely, zero all of ReplicationSlotPersistentData, and re-order the rest of the initialization to be in struct member order.

* Remove bogus dependencies on NUMERIC_MAX_PRECISION.Tom Lane2016-08-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | NUMERIC_MAX_PRECISION is a purely arbitrary constraint on the precision and scale you can write in a numeric typmod. It might once have had something to do with the allowed range of a typmod-less numeric value, but at least since 9.1 we've allowed, and documented that we allowed, any value that would physically fit in the numeric storage format; which is something over 100000 decimal digits, not 1000. Hence, get rid of numeric_in()'s use of NUMERIC_MAX_PRECISION as a limit on the allowed range of the exponent in scientific-format input. That was especially silly in view of the fact that you can enter larger numbers as long as you don't use 'e' to do it. Just constrain the value enough to avoid localized overflow, and let make_result be the final arbiter of what is too large. Likewise adjust ecpg's equivalent of this code. Also get rid of numeric_recv()'s use of NUMERIC_MAX_PRECISION to limit the number of base-NBASE digits it would accept. That created a dump/restore hazard for binary COPY without doing anything useful; the wire-format limit on number of digits (65535) is about as tight as we would want. In HEAD, also get rid of pg_size_bytes()'s unnecessary intimacy with what the numeric range limit is. That code doesn't exist in the back branches. Per gripe from Aravind Kumar. Back-patch to all supported branches, since they all contain the documentation claim about allowed range of NUMERIC (cf commit cabf5d84b). Discussion: <2895.1471195721@sss.pgh.pa.us>
* Fix inappropriate printing of never-measured times in EXPLAIN.Tom Lane2016-08-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, TIMING OFF) would print an elapsed time of zero for a trigger function, because no measurement has been taken but it printed the field anyway. This isn't what EXPLAIN does elsewhere, so suppress it. In the same vein, EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, BUFFERS) with non-text output format would print buffer I/O timing numbers even when no measurement has been taken because track_io_timing is off. That seems not per policy, either, so change it. Back-patch to 9.2 where these features were introduced. Maksim Milyutin Discussion: <081c0540-ecaa-bd29-3fd2-6358f3b359a9@postgrespro.ru>

WITH NO DATA, but missed that there was code in spi.c that expected the command tag to always be "SELECT".

* Fix several one-byte buffer over-reads in to_numberPeter Eisentraut2016-08-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Several places in NUM_numpart_from_char(), which is called from the SQL function to_number(text, text), could accidentally read one byte past the end of the input buffer (which comes from the input text datum and is not null-terminated). 1. One leading space character would be skipped, but there was no check that the input was at least one byte long. This does not happen in practice, but for defensiveness, add a check anyway. 2. Commit 4a3a1e2cf apparently accidentally doubled that code that skips one space character (so that two spaces might be skipped), but there was no overflow check before skipping the second byte. Fix by removing that duplicate code. 3. A logic error would allow a one-byte over-read when looking for a trailing sign (S) placeholder. In each case, the extra byte cannot be read out directly, but looking at it might cause a crash. The third item was discovered by Piotr Stefaniak, the first two were found and analyzed by Tom Lane and Peter Eisentraut.

* Fix two errors with nested CASE/WHEN constructs.Tom Lane2016-08-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ExecEvalCase() tried to save a cycle or two by passing &econtext->caseValue_isNull as the isNull argument to its sub-evaluation of the CASE value expression. If that subexpression itself contained a CASE, then *isNull was an alias for econtext->caseValue_isNull within the recursive call of ExecEvalCase(), leading to confusion about whether the inner call's caseValue was null or not. In the worst case this could lead to a core dump due to dereferencing a null pointer. Fix by not assigning to the global variable until control comes back from the subexpression. Also, avoid using the passed-in isNull pointer transiently for evaluation of WHEN expressions. (Either one of these changes would have been sufficient to fix the known misbehavior, but it's clear now that each of these choices was in itself dangerous coding practice and best avoided. There do not seem to be any similar hazards elsewhere in execQual.c.) Also, it was possible for inlining of a SQL function that implements the equality operator used for a CASE comparison to result in one CASE expression's CaseTestExpr node being inserted inside another CASE expression. This would certainly result in wrong answers since the improperly nested CaseTestExpr would be caused to return the inner CASE's comparison value not the outer's. If the CASE values were of different data types, a crash might result; moreover such situations could be abused to allow disclosure of portions of server memory. To fix, teach inline_function to check for "bare" CaseTestExpr nodes in the arguments of a function to be inlined, and avoid inlining if there are any.

* Fix misestimation of n_distinct for a nearly-unique column with many nulls.Tom Lane2016-08-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If ANALYZE found no repeated non-null entries in its sample, it set the column's stadistinct value to -1.0, intending to indicate that the entries are all distinct. But what this value actually means is that the number of distinct values is 100% of the table's rowcount, and thus it was overestimating the number of distinct values by however many nulls there are. This could lead to very poor selectivity estimates, as for example in a recent report from Andreas Joseph Krogh. We should discount the stadistinct value by whatever we've estimated the nulls fraction to be. (That is what will happen if we choose to use a negative stadistinct for a column that does have repeated entries, so this code path was just inconsistent.) In addition to fixing the stadistinct entries stored by several different ANALYZE code paths, adjust the logic where get_variable_numdistinct() forces an "all distinct" estimate on the basis of finding a relevant unique index. Unique indexes don't reject nulls, so there's no reason to assume that the null fraction doesn't apply. Back-patch to all supported branches. Back-patching is a bit of a judgment call, but this problem seems to affect only a few users (else we'd have identified it long ago), and it's bad enough when it does happen that destabilizing plan choices in a worse direction seems unlikely.
