* 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.

* Fix crash in BRIN inclusion op functions, due to missing datum copy.Heikki Linnakangas2020-01-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The BRIN add_value() and union() functions need to make a longer-lived copy of the argument, if they want to store it in the BrinValues struct also passed as argument. The functions for the "inclusion operator classes" used with box, range and inet types didn't take into account that the union helper function might return its argument as is, without making a copy. Check for that case, and make a copy if necessary. That case arises at least with the range_union() function, when one of the arguments is an 'empty' range: CREATE TABLE brintest (n numrange); CREATE INDEX brinidx ON brintest USING brin (n); INSERT INTO brintest VALUES ('empty'); INSERT INTO brintest VALUES (numrange(0, 2^1000::numeric)); INSERT INTO brintest VALUES ('(-1, 0)'); SELECT brin_desummarize_range('brinidx', 0); SELECT brin_summarize_range('brinidx', 0); Backpatch down to 9.5, where BRIN was introduced.

* 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.) As with previous patch, back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/16213-871ac3bc208ecf23@postgresql.org
* Set ReorderBufferTXN->final_lsn more eagerlyAlvaro Herrera2020-01-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ... specifically, set it incrementally as each individual change is spilled down to disk. This way, it is set correctly when the transaction disappears without trace, ie. without leaving an XACT_ABORT wal record. (This happens when the server crashes midway through a transaction.) Failing to have final_lsn prevents ReorderBufferRestoreCleanup() from working, since it needs the final_lsn in order to know the endpoint of its iteration through spilled files. Commit df9f682c7bf8 already tried to fix the problem, but it didn't set the final_lsn in all cases. Revert that, since it's no longer needed.

* Allocate freechunks bitmap as part of SlabContextTomas Vondra2020-01-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The bitmap used by SlabCheck to cross-check free chunks in a block used to be allocated for each SlabCheck call, and was never freed. The memory leak could be fixed by simply adding a pfree call, but it's actually a bad idea to do any allocations in SlabCheck at all as it assumes the state of the memory management as a whole is sane. So instead we allocate the bitmap as part of SlabContext, which means we don't need to do any allocations in SlabCheck and the bitmap goes away together with the SlabContext.

* Make rewriter prevent auto-updates on views with conditional INSTEAD rules.Dean Rasheed2020-01-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A view with conditional INSTEAD rules and no unconditional INSTEAD rules or INSTEAD OF triggers is not auto-updatable. Previously we relied on a check in the executor to catch this, but that's problematic since the planner may fail to properly handle such a query and thus return a particularly unhelpful error to the user, before reaching the executor check. Instead, trap this in the rewriter and report the correct error there. Doing so also allows us to include more useful error detail than the executor check can provide. This doesn't change the existing behaviour of updatable views; it merely ensures that useful error messages are reported when a view isn't updatable. Per report from Pengzhou Tang, though not adopting that suggested fix. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* Fix edge-case crashes and misestimation in range containment selectivity.Tom Lane2020-01-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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

* Extensive code review for GSSAPI encryption mechanism.Tom Lane2020-01-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix assorted bugs in handling of non-blocking I/O when using GSSAPI encryption. The encryption layer could return the wrong status information to its caller, resulting in effectively dropping some data (or possibly in aborting a not-broken connection), or in a "livelock" situation where data remains to be sent but the upper layers think transmission is done and just go to sleep. There were multiple small thinkos contributing to that, as well as one big one (failure to think through what to do when a send fails after having already transmitted data). Note that these errors could cause failures whether the client application asked for non-blocking I/O or not, since both libpq and the backend always run things in non-block mode at this level. Also get rid of use of static variables for GSSAPI inside libpq; that's entirely not okay given that multiple connections could be open at once inside a single client process. Also adjust a bunch of random small discrepancies between the frontend and backend versions of the send/receive functions -- except for error handling, they should be identical, and now they are. Also extend the Kerberos TAP tests to exercise cases where nontrivial amounts of data need to be pushed through encryption. Before, those tests didn't provide any useful coverage at all for the cases of interest here. (They still might not, depending on timing, but at least there's a chance.)

* Reduce the number of GetFlushRecPtr() calls done by walsenders.Tom Lane2020-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since the WAL flush position only moves forward, it's safe to cache its previous value within each walsender process, and update from shared memory only once we've caught up to the previously-seen value. When there are many active walsenders, this makes for a very significant reduction in the amount of contention on the XLogCtl->info_lck spinlock. This patch also adjusts the logic so that we update our idea of the flush position after processing a WAL record, rather than beforehand. This may cause us to realize we're not caught up when the preceding coding would've thought that we were, but that seems all to the good; it may avoid a useless sleep-and-wakeup cycle. Back-patch to v12. The contention problem exists in prior branches, but it's much less severe (due to inefficiencies elsewhere) so there seems no need to take any risk of back-patching further.

* 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.

* Change overly strict Assert in TransactionGroupUpdateXidStatus.Amit Kapila2019-12-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This Assert thought that an overflowed transaction can never get registered for the group update.  But that is not true, because even when the number of children for a transaction got reduced, the overflow flag is not changed. And, for group update, we only care about the current number of children for a transaction that is being committed. Based on comments by Andres Freund, remove a redundant Assert in TransactionIdSetPageStatus as we already had a static Assert for the same condition a few lines earlier.

* Fix yet another crash in page split during GiST index creation.Heikki Linnakangas2019-12-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit a7ee7c8513 fixed a bug in GiST page split during index creation, where we failed to re-find the position of a downlink after the page containing it was split. However, that fix was incomplete; the other call to gistinserttuples() in the same function needs to also clear 'downlinkoffnum'. Fixes bug #16134 reported by Alexander Lakhin, for real this time. The previous fix was enough to fix the crash with the reproducer script for bug #16162, but the original script for #16134 was still crashing. Backpatch to v12, like the previous incomplete fix.

* Prevent overly-aggressive collapsing of joins to RTE_RESULT relations.Tom Lane2019-12-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The RTE_RESULT simplification logic added by commit 4be058fe9 had a flaw: it would collapse out a RTE_RESULT that is due to compute a PlaceHolderVar, and reassign the PHV to the parent join level, even if another input relation of the join contained a lateral reference to the PHV. That can't work because the PHV would be computed too late. In practice it led to failures of internal sanity checks later in planning (either assertion failures or errors such as "failed to construct the join relation"). To fix, add code to check for the presence of such PHVs in relevant portions of the query tree. Notably, this required refactoring range_table_walker so that a caller could ask to walk individual RTEs not the whole list. (It might be a good idea to refactor range_table_mutator in the same way, if only to keep those functions looking similar; but I didn't do so here as it wasn't necessary for the bug fix.) This exercise also taught me that find_dependent_phvs(), as it stood, could only safely be used on the entire Query, not on subtrees. Adjust its API to reflect that; which in passing allows it to have a fast path for the common case of no PHVs anywhere. Per report from Will Leinweber. Back-patch to v12 where the bug was introduced.

Open the file we want directly by name instead, if it's not already open. The consequence of this bug was a rare panic in the checkpointer, made more likely if you saturated the sync request queue so that the SYNC_FORGET_REQUEST messages for a given relation were more likely to be absorbed in separate cycles by the checkpointer.

* Fix crash when a page was split during GiST index creation.Heikki Linnakangas2019-12-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The bug was similar to the one that was fixed in commit 22251686f0. When we split page X and insert the downlink for the new page, the parent page might also need to be split. When that happens, the downlink offset number we remembered for X is no longer valid. We correctly called gistFindCorrectParent() to re-find it, but gistFindCorrectParent() doesn't do anything if the LSN of the page hasn't changed, and we stopped updating LSNs during index build in commit 9155580fd5. The buggy codepath was taken if the page was split into three or more pages, and inserting the downlink caused the parent page to split. To fix, explicitly mark the downlink offset number as invalid, to force gistFindCorrectParent() to re-find it. Fixes bug #16134 reported by Alexander Lakhin, reported again as #16162 by Andreas Kunert. Thanks to Jeff Janes, Tom Lane and Tomas Vondra for debugging. Backpatch to v12, where we stopped WAL-logging during index build.

* 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. There's no real issue here other than some wasted cycles in some not-too-heavily-used code paths, but the test coverage seems valuable. Report and patch by Li Japin; test case adjustments by me.

* Fix handling of multiple AFTER ROW triggers on a foreign table.Etsuro Fujita2019-12-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | AfterTriggerExecute() retrieves a fresh tuple or pair of tuples from a tuplestore and then stores the tuple(s) in the passed-in slot(s) if AFTER_TRIGGER_FDW_FETCH, while it uses the most-recently-retrieved tuple(s) stored in the slot(s) if AFTER_TRIGGER_FDW_REUSE. This was done correctly before 12, but commit ff11e7f4b broke it by mistakenly clearing the tuple(s) stored in the slot(s) in that function, leading to an assertion failure as reported in bug #16139 from Alexander Lakhin. Also, fix some other issues with the aforementioned commit in passing: * For tg_newslot, which is a slot added to the TriggerData struct by the commit to store new updated tuples, it didn't ensure the slot was NULL if there was no such tuple. * The commit failed to update the documentation about the trigger interface.

* Fix race condition in our Windows signal emulation.Tom Lane2019-12-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | pg_signal_dispatch_thread() responded to the client (signal sender) and disconnected the pipe before actually setting the shared variables that make the signal visible to the backend process's main thread. In the worst case, it seems, effective delivery of the signal could be postponed for as long as the machine has any other work to do. To fix, just move the pg_queue_signal() call so that we do it before responding to the client. This essentially makes pgkill() synchronous, which is a stronger guarantee than we have on Unix. That may be overkill, but on the other hand we have not seen comparable timing bugs on any Unix platform. While at it, add some comments to this sadly underdocumented code. Problem diagnosis and fix by Amit Kapila; I just added the comments. Back-patch to all supported versions, as it appears that this can cause visible NOTIFY timing oddities on all of them, and there might be other misbehavior due to slow delivery of other signals.

* Fix misbehavior with expression indexes on ON COMMIT DELETE ROWS tables.Tom Lane2019-12-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We implement ON COMMIT DELETE ROWS by truncating tables marked that way, which requires also truncating/rebuilding their indexes. But RelationTruncateIndexes asks the relcache for up-to-date copies of any index expressions, which may cause execution of eval_const_expressions on them, which can result in actual execution of subexpressions. This is a bad thing to have happening during ON COMMIT. Manuel Rigger reported that use of a SQL function resulted in crashes due to expectations that ActiveSnapshot would be set, which it isn't. The most obvious fix perhaps would be to push a snapshot during PreCommit_on_commit_actions, but I think that would just open the door to more problems: CommitTransaction explicitly expects that no user-defined code can be running at this point. Fortunately, since we know that no tuples exist to be indexed, there seems no need to use the real index expressions or predicates during RelationTruncateIndexes. We can set up dummy index expressions instead (we do need something that will expose the right data type, as there are places that build index tupdescs based on this), and just ignore predicates and exclusion constraints. In a green field it'd likely be better to reimplement ON COMMIT DELETE ROWS using the same "init fork" infrastructure used for unlogged relations. That seems impractical without catalog changes though, and even without that it'd be too big a change to back-patch. So for now do it like this. Per private report from Manuel Rigger. This has been broken forever, so back-patch to all supported branches.

* Fix choose_best_statistics to check clauses individuallyTomas Vondra2019-11-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When picking the best extended statistics object for a list of clauses, it's not enough to look at attnums extracted from the clause list as a whole. Consider for example this query with OR clauses: SELECT * FROM t WHERE (t.a = 1) OR (t.b = 1) OR (t.c = 1) with a statistics defined on columns (a,b). Relying on attnums extracted from the whole OR clause, we'd consider the statistics usable. That does not work, as we see the conditions as a single OR-clause, referencing an attribute not covered by the statistic, leading to empty list of clauses to be estimated using the statistics and an assert failure. This changes choose_best_statistics to check which clauses are actually covered, and only using attributes from the fully covered ones. For the previous example this means the statistics object will not be considered as compatible with the OR-clause. Backpatch to 12, where MCVs were introduced. The issue does not affect older versions because functional dependencies don't handle OR clauses.

* Allow access to child table statistics if user can read parent table.Tom Lane2019-11-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The fix for CVE-2017-7484 disallowed use of pg_statistic data for planning purposes if the user would not be able to select the associated column and a non-leakproof function is to be applied to the statistics values. That turns out to disable use of pg_statistic data in some common cases involving inheritance/partitioning, where the user does have permission to select from the parent table that was actually named in the query, but not from a child table whose stats are needed. Since, in non-corner cases, the user *can* select the child table's data via the parent, this restriction is not actually useful from a security standpoint. Improve the logic so that we also check the permissions of the originally-named table, and allow access if select permission exists for that. When checking access to stats for a simple child column, we can map the child column number back to the parent, and perform this test exactly (including not allowing access if the child column isn't exposed by the parent). For expression indexes, the current logic just insists on whole-table select access, and this patch allows access if the user can select the whole parent table. In principle, if the child table has extra columns, this might allow access to stats on columns the user can't read. In practice, it's unlikely that the planner is going to do any stats calculations involving expressions that are not visible to the query, so we'll ignore that fine point for now. Perhaps someday we'll improve that logic to detect exactly which columns are used by an expression index ... but today is not that day. Back-patch to v11. The issue was created in 9.2 and up by the CVE-2017-7484 fix, but this patch depends on the append_rel_array[] planner data structure which only exists in v11 and up. In practice the issue is most urgent with partitioned tables, so fixing v11 and later should satisfy much of the practical need.
