* Fix initial sync of slot parent directory when restoring statusMichael Paquier2018-09-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At the beginning of recovery, information from replication slots is recovered from disk to memory. In order to ensure the durability of the information, the status file as well as its parent directory are synced. It happens that the sync on the parent directory was done directly using the status file path, which is logically incorrect, and the current code has been doing a sync on the same object twice in a row.

* Avoid using potentially-under-aligned page buffers.Tom Lane2018-09-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's a project policy against using plain "char buf[BLCKSZ]" local or static variables as page buffers; preferred style is to palloc or malloc each buffer to ensure it is MAXALIGN'd. However, that policy's been ignored in an increasing number of places. We've apparently got away with it so far, probably because (a) relatively few people use platforms on which misalignment causes core dumps and/or (b) the variables chance to be sufficiently aligned anyway. But this is not something to rely on. Moreover, even if we don't get a core dump, we might be paying a lot of cycles for misaligned accesses. To fix, invent new union types PGAlignedBlock and PGAlignedXLogBlock that the compiler must allocate with sufficient alignment, and use those in place of plain char arrays. I used these types even for variables where there's no risk of a misaligned access, since ensuring proper alignment should make kernel data transfers faster. I also changed some places where we had been palloc'ing short-lived buffers, for coding style uniformity and to save palloc/pfree overhead. Since this seems to be a live portability hazard (despite the lack of field reports), back-patch to all supported versions. Patch by me; thanks to Michael Paquier for review.

* Implement "pg_ctl logrotate" commandAlexander Korotkov2018-09-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | Currently there are two ways to trigger log rotation in logging collector process: call pg_rotate_logfile() SQL-function or send SIGUSR1 signal directly to logging collector process. However, it's nice to have more suitable way for external tools to do that, which wouldn't require SQL connection or knowledge of logging collector pid. This commit implements triggering log rotation by "pg_ctl logrotate" command.

* Ensure correct minimum consistent point on standbysMichael Paquier2018-08-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Startup process has improved its calculation of incorrect minimum consistent point in 8d68ee6, which ensures that all WAL available gets replayed when doing crash recovery, and has introduced an incorrect calculation of the minimum recovery point for non-startup processes, which can cause incorrect page references on a standby when for example the background writer flushed a couple of pages on-disk but was not updating the control file to let a subsequent crash recovery replay to where it should have. The only case where this has been reported to be a problem is when a standby needs to calculate the latest removed xid when replaying a btree deletion record, so one would need connections on a standby that happen just after recovery has thought it reached a consistent point. Using a background worker which is started after the consistent point is reached would be the easiest way to get into problems if it connects to a database. Having clients which attempt to connect periodically could also be a problem, but the odds of seeing this problem are much lower. The fix used is pretty simple, as the idea is to give access to the minimum recovery point written in the control file to non-startup processes so as they use a reference, while the startup process still initializes its own references of the minimum consistent point so as the original problem with incorrect page references happening post-promotion with a crash do not show up.

* Disable support for partitionwise joins in problematic cases.Etsuro Fujita2018-08-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit f49842d, which added support for partitionwise joins, built the child's tlist by applying adjust_appendrel_attrs() to the parent's. So in the case where the parent's included a whole-row Var for the parent, the child's contained a ConvertRowtypeExpr. To cope with that, that commit added code to the planner, such as setrefs.c, but some code paths still assumed that the tlist for a scan (or join) rel would only include Vars and PlaceHolderVars, which was true before that commit, causing errors: * When creating an explicit sort node for an input path for a mergejoin path for a child join, prepare_sort_from_pathkeys() threw the 'could not find pathkey item to sort' error. * When deparsing a relation participating in a pushed down child join as a subquery in contrib/postgres_fdw, get_relation_column_alias_ids() threw the 'unexpected expression in subquery output' error. * When performing set_plan_references() on a local join plan generated by contrib/postgres_fdw for EvalPlanQual support for a pushed down child join, fix_join_expr() threw the 'variable not found in subplan target lists' error. To fix these, two approaches have been proposed: one by Ashutosh Bapat and one by me. While the former keeps building the child's tlist with a ConvertRowtypeExpr, the latter builds it with a whole-row Var for the child not to violate the planner assumption, and tries to fix it up later, But both approaches need more work, so refuse to generate partitionwise join paths when whole-row Vars are involved, instead. We don't need to handle ConvertRowtypeExprs in the child's tlists for now, so this commit also removes the changes to the planner. Previously, partitionwise join computed attr_needed data for each child separately, and built the child join's tlist using that data, which also required an extra step for adding PlaceHolderVars to that tlist, but it would be more efficient to build it from the parent join's tlist through the adjust_appendrel_attrs() transformation. So this commit builds that list that way, and simplifies build_joinrel_tlist() and placeholder.c as well as part of set_append_rel_size() to basically what they were before partitionwise join went in. Back-patch to PG11 where partitionwise join was introduced. Report by Rajkumar Raghuwanshi. Analysis by Ashutosh Bapat, who also provided some of regression tests.

* Stop bgworkers during fast shutdown with postmaster in startup phaseMichael Paquier2018-08-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a postmaster gets into its phase PM_STARTUP, it would start background workers using BgWorkerStart_PostmasterStart mode immediately, which would cause problems for a fast shutdown as the postmaster forgets to send SIGTERM to already-started background workers. With smart and immediate shutdowns, this correctly happened, and fast shutdown is the only mode missing the shot.

* Avoid quadratic slowdown in regexp match/split functions.Andrew Gierth2018-08-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | regexp_matches, regexp_split_to_table and regexp_split_to_array all work by compiling a list of match positions as character offsets (NOT byte positions) in the source string. Formerly, they then used text_substr to extract the matched text; but in a multi-byte encoding, that counts the characters in the string, and the characters needed to reach the starting byte position, on every call. Accordingly, the performance degraded as the product of the input string length and the number of match positions, such that splitting a string of a few hundred kbytes could take many minutes. Repair by keeping the wide-character copy of the input string available (only in the case where encoding_max_length is not 1) after performing the match operation, and extracting substrings from that instead. This reduces the complexity to being linear in the number of result bytes, discounting the actual regexp match itself (which is not affected by this patch). In passing, remove cleanup using retail pfree() which was obsoleted by commit ff428cded (Feb 2008) which made cleanup of SRF multi-call contexts automatic. Also increase (to ~134 million) the maximum number of matches and provide an error message when it is reached. Backpatch all the way because this has been wrong forever.

* Fix snapshot leak warning for some proceduresPeter Eisentraut2018-08-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The problem arises with the combination of CALL with output parameters and doing a COMMIT inside the procedure. When a CALL has output parameters, the portal uses the strategy PORTAL_UTIL_SELECT instead of PORTAL_MULTI_QUERY. Using PORTAL_UTIL_SELECT causes the portal's snapshot to be registered with the current resource owner (portal->holdSnapshot); see 9ee1cf04ab6bcefe03a11837b53f29ca9dc24c7a for the reason. Normally, PortalDrop() unregisters the snapshot. If not, then ResourceOwnerRelease() will print a warning about a snapshot leak on transaction commit. A transaction commit normally drops all portals (PreCommit_Portals()), except the active portal. So in case of the active portal, we need to manually release the snapshot to avoid the warning.

* Improve VACUUM and ANALYZE by avoiding early lock queueMichael Paquier2018-08-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A caller of VACUUM can perform early lookup obtention which can cause other sessions to block on the request done, causing potentially DOS attacks as even a non-privileged user can attempt a vacuum fill of a critical catalog table to block even all incoming connection attempts. Contrary to TRUNCATE, a client could attempt a system-wide VACUUM after building the list of relations to VACUUM, which can cause vacuum_rel() or analyze_rel() to try to lock the relation but the operation would just block. When the client specifies a list of relations and the relation needs to be skipped, ownership checks are done when building the list of relations to work on, preventing a later lock attempt. vacuum_rel() already had the sanity checks needed, except that those were applied too late. This commit refactors the code so as relation skips are checked beforehand, making it safer to avoid too early locks, for both manual VACUUM with and without a list of relations specified. An isolation test is added emulating the fact that early locks do not happen anymore, issuing a WARNING message earlier if the user calling VACUUM is not a relation owner. When a partitioned table is listed in a manual VACUUM or ANALYZE command, its full list of partitions is fetched, all partitions get added to the list to work on, and then each one of them is processed one by one, with ownership checks happening at the later phase of vacuum_rel() or analyze_rel(). Trying to do early ownership checks for each partition is proving to be tedious as this would result in deadlock risks with lock upgrades, and skipping all partitions if the listed partitioned table is not owned would result in a behavior change compared to how Postgres 10 has implemented vacuum for partitioned tables. The original problem reported related to early lock queue for critical relations is fixed anyway, so priority is given to avoiding a backward-incompatible behavior.

* Make syslogger more robust against failures in opening CSV log files.Tom Lane2018-08-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The previous coding figured it'd be good enough to postpone opening the first CSV log file until we got a message we needed to write there. This is unsafe, though, because if the open fails we end up in infinite recursion trying to report the failure. Instead make the CSV log file management code look as nearly as possible like the longstanding logic for the stderr log file. In particular, open it immediately at postmaster startup (if enabled), or when we get a SIGHUP in which we find that log_destination has been changed to enable CSV logging. It seems OK to fail if a postmaster-start-time open attempt fails, as we've long done for the stderr log file. But we can't die if we fail to open a CSV log file during SIGHUP, so we're still left with a problem. In that case, write any output meant for the CSV log file to the stderr log file. (This will also cover race-condition cases in which backends send CSV log data before or after we have the CSV log file open.) This patch also fixes an ancient oversight that, if CSV logging was turned off during a SIGHUP, we never actually closed the last CSV log file. In passing, remember to reset whereToSendOutput = DestNone during syslogger start, since (unlike all other postmaster children) it's forked before the postmaster has done that. This made for a platform-dependent difference in error reporting behavior between the syslogger and other children: except on Windows, it'd report problems to the original postmaster stderr as well as the normal error log file(s). It's barely possible that that was intentional at some point; but it doesn't seem likely to be desirable in production, and the platform dependency definitely isn't desirable. Per report from Alexander Kukushkin. It's been like this for a long time, so back-patch to all supported branches.

* Fix lexing of standard multi-character operators in edge cases.Andrew Gierth2018-08-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commits c6b3c939b (which fixed the precedence of >=, <=, <> operators) and 865f14a2d (which added support for the standard => notation for named arguments) created a class of lexer tokens which look like multi-character operators but which have their own token IDs distinct from Op. However, longest-match rules meant that following any of these tokens with another operator character, as in (1<>-1), would cause them to be incorrectly returned as Op. The error here isn't immediately obvious, because the parser would usually still find the correct operator via the Op token, but there were more subtle problems: 1. If immediately followed by a comment or +-, >= <= <> would be given the old precedence of Op rather than the correct new precedence; 2. If followed by a comment, != would be returned as Op rather than as NOT_EQUAL, causing it not to be found at all; 3. If followed by a comment or +-, the => token for named arguments would be lexed as Op, causing the argument to be mis-parsed as a simple expression, usually causing an error. Fix by explicitly checking for the operators in the {operator} code block in addition to all the existing special cases there. Backpatch to 9.5 where the problem was introduced.

* Use the built-in float datatypes to implement geometric typesTomas Vondra2018-08-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch makes the geometric operators and functions use the exported function of the float4/float8 datatypes. The main reason of doing so is to check for underflow and overflow, and to handle NaNs consciously. The float datatypes consider NaNs values to be equal and greater than all non-NaN values. This change considers NaNs equal only for equality operators. The placement operators, contains, overlaps, left/right of etc. continue to return false when NaNs are involved. We don't need to worry about them being considered greater than any-NaN because there aren't any basic comparison operators like less/greater than for the geometric datatypes. The changes may be summarised as: * Check for underflow, overflow and division by zero * Consider NaN values to be equal * Return NULL when the distance is NaN for all closest point operators * Favour not-NaN over NaN where it makes sense The patch also replaces all occurrences of "double" as "float8". They are the same, but were used inconsistently in the same file.

* Require a C99-compliant snprintf(), and remove related workarounds.Tom Lane2018-08-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since our substitute snprintf now returns a C99-compliant result, there's no need anymore to have complicated code to cope with pre-C99 behavior. We can just make configure substitute snprintf.c if it finds that the system snprintf() is pre-C99. (Note: I do not believe that there are any platforms where this test will trigger that weren't already being rejected due to our other C99-ish feature requirements for snprintf. But let's add the check for paranoia's sake.) Then, simplify the call sites that had logic to cope with the pre-C99 definition. I also dropped some stuff that was being paranoid about the possibility of snprintf overrunning the given buffer. The only reports we've ever heard of that being a problem were for Solaris 7, which is long dead, and we've sure not heard any reports of these assertions triggering in a long time. So let's drop that complexity too. Likewise, drop some code that wasn't trusting snprintf to set errno when it returns -1. That would be not-per-spec, and again there's no real reason to believe it is a live issue, especially not for snprintfs that pass all of configure's feature checks.

* Fix executor prune failure when plan already prunedAlvaro Herrera2018-08-16
| | | | | | | | | | | In a multi-layer partitioning setup, if at plan time all the sub-partitions are pruned but the intermediate one remains, the executor later throws a spurious error that there's nothing to prune. That is correct, but there's no reason to throw an error. Therefore, don't.

* Close the file descriptor in ApplyLogicalMappingFileTomas Vondra2018-08-16

* Improve comment in GetNewObjectId().Thomas Munro2018-08-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | The previous comment gave the impression that skipping OIDs before FirstNormalObjectId was merely an optimization to avoid likely collisions. In fact other parts of the system have been relying on this threshold to detect system-created objects since commit 8e18d04d4da, so adjust the wording.

* Update FSM on WAL replay of page all-visible/frozenAlvaro Herrera2018-08-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We aren't very strict about keeping FSM up to date on WAL replay, because per-page freespace values aren't critical in replicas (can't write to heap in a replica; and if the replica is promoted, the values would be updated by VACUUM anyway). However, VACUUM since 9.6 can skip processing pages marked all-visible or all-frozen, and if such pages are recorded in FSM with wrong values, those values are blindly propagated to FSM's upper layers by VACUUM's FreeSpaceMapVacuum. (This rationale assumes that crashes are not very frequent, because those would cause outdated FSM to occur in the primary.) Even when the FSM is outdated in standby, things are not too bad normally, because, most per-page FSM values will be zero (other than those propagated with the base-backup that created the standby); only once the remaining free space is less than 0.2*BLCKSZ the per-page value is maintained by WAL replay of heap ins/upd/del. However, if wal_log_hints=on causes complete FSM pages to be propagated to a standby via full-page images, many too-optimistic per-page values can end up being registered in the standby. Incorrect per-page values aren't critical in most cases, since an inserter that is given a page that doesn't actually contain the claimed free space will update FSM with the correct value, and retry until it finds a usable page. However, if there are many such updates to do, an inserter can spend a long time doing them before a usable page is found; in a heavily trafficked insert-only table with many concurrent inserters this has been observed to cause several second stalls, causing visible application malfunction. To fix this problem, it seems sufficient to have heap_xlog_visible (replay of setting all-visible and all-frozen VM bits for a heap page) update the FSM value for the page being processed. This fixes the per-page counters together with making the page skippable to vacuum, so when vacuum does FreeSpaceMapVacuum, the values propagated to FSM upper layers are the correct ones, avoiding the problem. While at it, apply the same fix to heap_xlog_clean (replay of tuple removal by HOT pruning and vacuum). This makes any space freed by the cleaning available earlier than the next vacuum in the promoted replica. Backpatch to 9.6, where this problem was diagnosed on an insert-only table with all-frozen pages, which were introduced as a concept in that release. Theoretically it could apply with all-visible pages to older branches, but there's been no report of that and it doesn't backpatch cleanly anyway.

* Clean up assorted misuses of snprintf()'s result value.Tom Lane2018-08-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix a small number of places that were testing the result of snprintf() but doing so incorrectly. The right test for buffer overrun, per C99, is "result >= bufsize" not "result > bufsize". Some places were also checking for failure with "result == -1", but the standard only says that a negative value is delivered on failure. (Note that this only makes these places correct if snprintf() delivers C99-compliant results. But at least now these places are consistent with all the other places where we assume that.) Also, make psql_start_test() and isolation_start_test() check for buffer overrun while constructing their shell commands. There seems like a higher risk of overrun, with more severe consequences, here than there is for the individual file paths that are made elsewhere in the same functions, so this seemed like a worthwhile change. Also fix guc.c's do_serialize() to initialize errno = 0 before calling vsnprintf. In principle, this should be unnecessary because vsnprintf should have set errno if it returns a failure indication ... but the other two places this coding pattern is cribbed from don't assume that, so let's be consistent. These errors are all very old, so back-patch as appropriate. I think that only the shell command overrun cases are even theoretically reachable in practice, but there's not much point in erroneous error checks.
