* Adjust DSM and DSA slot usage constants (back-patch).Thomas Munro2020-11-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1. Previously, a DSA area would create up to four segments at each size before doubling the size. After this commit, it will create only two at each size, so it ramps up faster and therefore needs fewer slots. 2. Previously, the total limit on DSM slots allowed for 2 per connection. Switch to 5 per connection. This back-patches commit d061ea21 from release 13 into 10-12 based on a field complaint.

* Further fixes for CREATE TABLE LIKE: cope with self-referential FKs.Tom Lane2020-11-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 502898192 was too careless about the order of execution of the additional ALTER TABLE operations generated by expandTableLikeClause. It just stuck them all at the end, which seems okay for most purposes. But it falls down in the case where LIKE is importing a primary key or unique index and the outer CREATE TABLE includes a FOREIGN KEY constraint that needs to depend on that index. Weird as that is, it used to work, so we ought to keep it working. To fix, make parse_utilcmd.c insert LIKE clauses between index-creation and FK-creation commands in the transformed list of commands, and change utility.c so that the commands generated by expandTableLikeClause are executed immediately not at the end. One could imagine scenarios where this wouldn't work either; but currently expandTableLikeClause only makes column default expressions, CHECK constraints, and indexes, and this ordering seems fine for those. Per bug #16730 from Sofoklis Papasofokli. Like the previous patch, back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/16730-b902f7e6e0276b30@postgresql.org
* Don't Insert() a VFD entry until it's fully built.Tom Lane2020-11-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Otherwise, if FDDEBUG is enabled, the debugging output fails because it tries to read the fileName, which isn't set up yet (and should in fact always be NULL). AFAICT, this has been wrong since Berkeley. Before 96bf88d52, it would accidentally fail to crash on platforms where snprintf() is forgiving about being passed a NULL pointer for %s; but the file name intended to be included in the debug output wouldn't ever have shown up. Report and fix by Greg Nancarrow. Although this is only visibly broken in custom-made builds, it still seems worth back-patching to all supported branches, as the FDDEBUG code is pretty useless as it stands.

* Do not return NULL for error cases in satisfies_hash_partition().Tom Lane2020-11-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since this function is used as a CHECK constraint condition, returning NULL is tantamount to returning TRUE, which would have the effect of letting in a row that doesn't satisfy the hash condition. Admittedly, the cases for which this is done should be unreachable in practice, but that doesn't make it any less a bad idea. It also seems like a dartboard was used to decide which error cases should throw errors as opposed to returning NULL. For the checks for NULL input values, I just switched it to returning false. There's some argument that an error would be better; but the case really should be can't-happen in a generated hash constraint, so it's likely not worth more code for. For the parent-relation-open-failure case, it seems like we might as well let relation_open throw an error, instead of having an impossible-to-diagnose constraint failure. Back-patch to v11 where this code came in. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/24067.1605134819@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Use "true" not "TRUE" in one ICU function call.Tom Lane2020-11-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This was evidently missed in commit 6337865f3, which generally did s/TRUE/true/ everywhere. It escaped notice up to now because ICU versions before ICU 68 provided definitions of "TRUE" and "FALSE" regardless. With ICU 68, it fails to compile. Per report from Condor. Back-patch to v11 where 6337865f3 came in. (I've not tested v10, where this call originated, but I imagine it's fine since we defined TRUE in c.h back then.)

* Fix fuzzy thinking about amcanmulticol versus amcaninclude.Tom Lane2020-11-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These flags should be independent: in particular an index AM should be able to say that it supports include columns without necessarily supporting multiple key columns. The included-columns patch got this wrong, possibly aided by the fact that it didn't bother to update the documentation. While here, clarify some text about amcanreturn, which was a little vague about what should happen when amcanreturn reports that only some of the index columns are returnable. Noted while reviewing the SP-GiST included-columns patch, which quite incorrectly (and unsafely) changed SP-GiST to claim amcanmulticol = true as a workaround for this bug. Backpatch to v11 where included columns were introduced.

* Fix and simplify some usages of TimestampDifference().Tom Lane2020-11-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce TimestampDifferenceMilliseconds() to simplify callers that would rather have the difference in milliseconds, instead of the select()-oriented seconds-and-microseconds format. This gets rid of at least one integer division per call, and it eliminates some apparently-easy-to-mess-up arithmetic. Two of these call sites were in fact wrong: * pg_prewarm's autoprewarm_main() forgot to multiply the seconds by 1000, thus ending up with a delay 1000X shorter than intended. That doesn't quite make it a busy-wait, but close. * postgres_fdw's pgfdw_get_cleanup_result() thought it needed to compute microseconds not milliseconds, thus ending up with a delay 1000X longer than intended. Somebody along the way had noticed this problem but misdiagnosed the cause, and imposed an ad-hoc 60-second limit rather than fixing the units. This was relatively harmless in context, because we don't care that much about exactly how long this delay is; still, it's wrong. There are a few more callers of TimestampDifference() that don't have a direct need for seconds-and-microseconds, but can't use TimestampDifferenceMilliseconds() either because they do need microsecond precision or because they might possibly deal with intervals long enough to overflow 32-bit milliseconds. It might be worth inventing another API to improve that, but that seems outside the scope of this patch; so those callers are untouched here. Given the fact that we are fixing some bugs, and the likelihood that future patches might want to back-patch code that uses this new API, back-patch to all supported branches.

* In security-restricted operations, block enqueue of at-commit user code.Noah Misch2020-11-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Specifically, this blocks DECLARE ... WITH HOLD and firing of deferred triggers within index expressions and materialized view queries. An attacker having permission to create non-temp objects in at least one schema could execute arbitrary SQL functions under the identity of the bootstrap superuser. One can work around the vulnerability by disabling autovacuum and not manually running ANALYZE, CLUSTER, REINDEX, CREATE INDEX, VACUUM FULL, or REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW. (Don't restore from pg_dump, since it runs some of those commands.) Plain VACUUM (without FULL) is safe, and all commands are fine when a trusted user owns the target object. Performance may degrade quickly under this workaround, however. Back-patch to 9.5 (all supported versions). Reviewed by Robert Haas. Reported by Etienne Stalmans. Security: CVE-2020-25695

* Properly detoast data in brin_form_tupleTomas Vondra2020-11-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | brin_form_tuple failed to consider the values may be toasted, inserting the toast pointer into the index. This may easily result in index corruption, as the toast data may be deleted and cleaned up by vacuum. The cleanup however does not care about indexes, leaving invalid toast pointers behind, which triggers errors like this: ERROR: missing chunk number 0 for toast value 16433 in pg_toast_16426 A less severe consequence are inconsistent failures due to the index row being too large, depending on whether brin_form_tuple operated on plain or toasted version of the row. For example CREATE TABLE t (val TEXT); INSERT INTO t VALUES ('... long value ...') CREATE INDEX idx ON t USING brin (val); would likely succeed, as the row would likely include toast pointer. Switching the order of INSERT and CREATE INDEX would likely fail: ERROR: index row size 8712 exceeds maximum 8152 for index "idx" because this happens before the row values are toasted. The bug exists since PostgreSQL 9.5 where BRIN indexes were introduced. So backpatch all the way back.

* Don't throw an error for LOCK TABLE on a self-referential view.Tom Lane2020-11-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | LOCK TABLE has complained about "infinite recursion" when applied to a self-referential view, ever since we made it recurse into views in v11. However, that breaks pg_dump's new assumption that it's okay to lock every relation. There doesn't seem to be any good reason to throw an error: if we just abandon the recursion, we've still satisfied the requirement of locking every referenced relation. Per bug #16703 from Andrew Bille (via Alexander Lakhin). Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/16703-e348f58aab3cf6cc@postgresql.org
* Guard against core dump from uninitialized subplan.Tom Lane2020-11-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the planner erroneously puts a non-parallel-safe SubPlan into a parallelized portion of the query tree, nodeSubplan.c will fail in the worker processes because it finds a null in es_subplanstates, which it's unable to cope with. It seems worth a test-and-elog to make that an error case rather than a core dump case. This probably should have been included in commit 16ebab688, which was responsible for allowing nulls to appear in es_subplanstates to begin with. So, back-patch to v10 where that came in.

* Allow users with BYPASSRLS to alter their own passwords.Tom Lane2020-11-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The intention in commit 491c029db was to require superuserness to change the BYPASSRLS property, but the actual effect of the coding in AlterRole() was to require superuserness to change anything at all about a BYPASSRLS role. Other properties of a BYPASSRLS role should be changeable under the same rules as for a normal role, though. Fix that, and also take care of some documentation omissions related to BYPASSRLS and REPLICATION role properties. Tom Lane and Stephen Frost, per bug report from Wolfgang Walther.

* Fix unportable use of getnameinfo() in pg_hba_file_rules view.Tom Lane2020-11-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fill_hba_line() thought it could get away with passing sizeof(struct sockaddr_storage) rather than the actual addrlen previously returned by getaddrinfo(). While that appears to work on many platforms, it does not work on FreeBSD 11: you get back a failure, which leads to the view showing NULL for the address and netmask columns in all rows. The POSIX spec for getnameinfo() is pretty clearly on FreeBSD's side here: you should pass the actual address length. So it seems plausible that there are other platforms where this coding also fails, and we just hadn't noticed. Also, IMO the fact that getnameinfo() failure leads to a NULL output is pretty bogus in itself. Our pg_getnameinfo_all() wrapper is careful to emit "???" on failure, and we should use that in such cases. NULL should only be emitted in rows that don't have IP addresses. Per bug #16695 from Peter Vandivier. Back-patch to v10 where this code was added. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/16695-a665558e2f630be7@postgresql.org
* Extend PageIsVerified() to handle more custom optionsMichael Paquier2020-11-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is useful for checks of relation pages without having to load the pages into the shared buffers, and two cases can make use of that: page verification in base backups and the online, lock-safe, flavor. Compatibility is kept with past versions using a routine that calls the new extended routine with the set of options compatible with the original version. Contrary to d401c576, a macro cannot be used as there may be external code relying on the presence of the original routine.

* Relax some asserts in merge join costing codeDavid Rowley2020-10-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the planner, it was possible, given an extreme enough case containing a large number of joins for the number of estimated rows to become infinite. This could cause problems in initial_cost_mergejoin() where we perform some calculations based on those row estimates. A problem case, presented by Onder Kalaci showed an Assert failure from an Assert checking outerstartsel <= outerendsel. In his test case this was effectively NaN <= Inf, which is false. The NaN outerstartsel came from multiplying the infinite outer_path_rows by 0.0. In master, this problem was fixed by a90c950fc, however, that fix was too invasive for the backbranches. Here we just relax the Asserts to allow them to pass. The worst that appears to happen from this is that we show NaN cost values and infinite row estimates in EXPLAIN. add_path() would have had a hard time doing anything useful with such costs, but that does not really matter as if the row estimates were even close to accurate, such plan would not complete this side of the heat death of the universe.

* In the postmaster, rely on the signal infrastructure to block signals.Tom Lane2020-10-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | POSIX sigaction(2) can be told to block a set of signals while a signal handler executes. Make use of that instead of manually blocking and unblocking signals in the postmaster's signal handlers. This should save a few cycles, but more importantly it prevents recursive invocation of signal handlers when many signals arrive in close succession. (Assuming that the platform's signal infrastructure is designed to avoid consuming stack space in that case, but this is demonstrably true at least on Linux.) The existing code has been seen to recurse to the point of stack overflow, either in the postmaster or in a forked-off child. Back-patch of commit 9abb2bfc0. At the time, we'd only seen excess postmaster stack consumption in the buildfarm; but we now have a user report of it, and that commit has aged enough to have a fair amount of confidence that it doesn't break anything. This still doesn't change anything about the way that it works on Windows. Perhaps someone else would like to fix that? Per bug #16673 from David Geier. Back-patch to 9.6.

These are malloc not palloc chunks, so there is no mechanism for recovering the leaks before process exit. Fortunately, the values are typically not very large, meaning you'd have to go through an awful lot of SIGHUP configuration-reload cycles to make the leakage amount to anything.

* Fix two latent(?) bugs in equivclass.c.Tom Lane2020-10-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | get_eclass_for_sort_expr() computes expr_relids and nullable_relids early on, even though they won't be needed unless we make a new EquivalenceClass, which we often don't. Aside from the probably-minor inefficiency, there's a memory management problem: these bitmapsets will be built in the caller's context, leading to dangling pointers if that is shorter-lived than root->planner_cxt. This would be a live bug if get_eclass_for_sort_expr() could be called with create_it = true during GEQO join planning. So far as I can find, the core code never does that, but it's hard to be sure that no extensions do, especially since the comments make it clear that that's supposed to be a supported case. Fix by not computing these values until we've switched into planner_cxt to build the new EquivalenceClass. generate_join_implied_equalities() uses inner_rel->relids to look up relevant eclasses, but it ought to be using nominal_inner_relids. This is presently harmless because a child RelOptInfo will always have exactly the same eclass_indexes as its topmost parent; but that might not be true forever, and anyway it makes the code confusing. The first of these is old (introduced by me in f3b3b8d5b), so back-patch to all supported branches.

* Fix handling of BC years in to_date/to_timestamp.Tom Lane2020-09-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, a conversion such as to_date('-44-02-01','YYYY-MM-DD') would result in '0045-02-01 BC', as the code attempted to interpret the negative year as BC, but failed to apply the correction needed for our internal handling of BC years. Fix the off-by-one problem. Also, arrange for the combination of a negative year and an explicit "BC" marker to cancel out and produce AD.

* Archive timeline history files in standby if archive_mode is set to "always".Fujii Masao2020-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously the standby server didn't archive timeline history files streamed from the primary even when archive_mode is set to "always", while it archives the streamed WAL files. This could cause the PITR to fail because there was no required timeline history file in the archive. The cause of this issue was that walreceiver didn't mark those files as ready for archiving. This commit makes walreceiver mark those streamed timeline history files as ready for archiving if archive_mode=always. Then the archiver process archives the marked timeline history files.

* Revise RelationBuildRowSecurity() to avoid memory leaks.Tom Lane2020-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This function leaked some memory while loading qual clauses for an RLS policy. While ordinarily negligible, that could build up in some repeated-reload cases, as reported by Konstantin Knizhnik. We can improve matters by borrowing the coding long used in RelationBuildRuleLock: build stringToNode's result directly in the target context, and remember to explicitly pfree the input string. This patch by no means completely guarantees zero leaks within this function, since we have no real guarantee that the catalog- reading subroutines it calls don't leak anything. However, practical tests suggest that this is enough to resolve the issue. In any case, any remaining leaks are similar to those risked by RelationBuildRuleLock and other relcache-loading subroutines. If we need to fix them, we should adopt a more global approach such as that used by the RECOVER_RELATION_BUILD_MEMORY hack. While here, let's remove the need for an expensive PG_TRY block by using MemoryContextSetParent to reparent an initially-short-lived context for the RLS data. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* Avoid possible dangling-pointer access in tsearch_readline_callback.Tom Lane2020-09-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | tsearch_readline() saves the string pointer it returns to the caller for possible use in the associated error context callback. However, the caller will usually pfree that string sometime before it next calls tsearch_readline(), so that there is a window where an ereport will try to print an already-freed string. The built-in users of tsearch_readline() happen to all do that pfree at the bottoms of their loops, so that the window is effectively empty for them. However, this is not documented as a requirement, and contrib/dict_xsyn doesn't do it like that, so it seems likely that third-party dictionaries might have live bugs here. The practical consequences of this seem pretty limited in any case, since production builds wouldn't clobber the freed string immediately, besides which you'd not expect syntax errors in dictionary files being used in production. Still, it's clearly a bug waiting to bite somebody. Fix by pstrdup'ing the string to be saved for the error callback, and then pfree'ing it next time through. It's been like this for a long time, so back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/48A4FA71-524E-41B9-953A-FD04EF36E2E7@yesql.se

* Fix bogus cache-invalidation logic in logical replication worker.Tom Lane2020-09-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The code recorded cache invalidation events by zeroing the "localreloid" field of affected cache entries. However, it's possible for an inval event to occur even while we have the entry open and locked. So an ill-timed inval could result in "cache lookup failed for relation 0" errors, if the worker's code tried to use the cleared field. We can fix that by creating a separate bool field to record whether the entry needs to be revalidated. (In the back branches, cram the bool into what had been padding space, to avoid an ABI break in the somewhat unlikely event that any extension is looking at this struct.) Also, rearrange the logic in logicalrep_rel_open so that it does the right thing in cases where table_open would fail. We should retry the lookup by name in that case, but we didn't. The real-world impact of this is probably small. In the first place, the error conditions are very low probability, and in the second place, the worker would just exit and get restarted. We only noticed because in a CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS build, the failure can occur repeatedly, preventing the worker from making progress. Nonetheless, it's clearly a bug, and it impedes a useful type of testing; so back-patch to v10 where this code was introduced. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/1032727.1600096803@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Use the properly transformed RangeVar for expandTableLikeClause().Tom Lane2020-09-13

* Use _exit(2) for SIGQUIT during ProcessStartupPacket, too.Tom Lane2020-09-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bring the signal handling for startup-packet collection into line with the policy established in commits bedadc732 and 8e19a8264, namely don't risk running atexit callbacks when handling SIGQUIT. Ideally, we'd not do so for SIGTERM or timeout interrupts either, but that change seems a bit too risky for the back branches. For now, just improve the comments in this area to describe the risk. Also relocate where BackendInitialize re-disables these interrupts, to minimize the code span where they're active. This doesn't buy a whole lot of safety, but it can't hurt. In passing, rename startup_die() to remove confusion about whether it is for the startup process. Like the previous commits, back-patch to all supported branches.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 8e19a8264 changed the SIGQUIT handlers of almost all server processes not to run atexit callbacks.

* Avoid lockup of a parallel worker when reporting a long error message.Tom Lane2020-09-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because sigsetjmp() will restore the initial state with signals blocked, the code path in bgworker.c for reporting an error and exiting would execute that way. Usually this is fairly harmless; but if a parallel worker had an error message exceeding the shared-memory communication buffer size (16K) it would lock up, because it would wait for a resume-sending signal from its parallel leader which it would never detect. To fix, just unblock signals at the appropriate point. This can be shown to fail back to 9.6. The lack of parallel query infrastructure makes it difficult to provide a simple test case for 9.5; but I'm pretty sure the issue exists in some form there as well, so apply the code change there too.

* Fix code for re-finding scan position in a multicolumn GIN index.Tom Lane2020-08-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | collectMatchBitmap() needs to re-find the index tuple it was previously looking at, after transiently dropping lock on the index page it's on. The tuple should still exist and be at its prior position or somewhere to the right of that, since ginvacuum never removes tuples but concurrent insertions could add one. However, there was a thinko in that logic, to the effect of expecting any inserted tuples to have the same index "attnum" as what we'd been scanning. Since there's no physical separation of tuples with different attnums, it's not terribly hard to devise scenarios where this fails, leading to transient "lost saved point in index" errors. (While I've duplicated this with manual testing, it seems impossible to make a reproducible test case with our available testing technology.) Fix by just continuing the scan when the attnum doesn't match. While here, improve the error message used if we do fail, so that it matches the wording used in btree for a similar case. collectMatchBitmap()'s posting-tree code path was previously not exercised at all by our regression tests. While I can't make a regression test that exhibits the bug, I can at least improve the code coverage here, so do that. The test case I made for this is an extension of one added by 4b754d6c1, so it only works in HEAD and v13; didn't seem worth trying hard to back-patch it. Per bug #16595 from Jesse Kinkead.

* Avoid pushing quals down into sub-queries that have grouping sets.Tom Lane2020-08-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The trouble with doing this is that an apparently-constant subquery output column isn't really constant if it is a grouping column that appears in only some of the grouping sets. A qual using such a column would be subject to incorrect const-folding after push-down, as seen in bug #16585 from Paul Sivash. To fix, just disable qual pushdown altogether if the sub-query has nonempty groupingSets. While we could imagine far less restrictive solutions, there is not much point in working harder right now, because subquery_planner() won't move HAVING clauses to WHERE within such a subquery. If the qual stays in HAVING it's not going to be a lot more useful than if we'd kept it at the outer level. Having said that, this restriction could be removed if we used a parsetree representation that distinguished such outputs from actual constants, which is something I hope to do in future. Hence, make the patch a minimal addition rather than integrating it more tightly (e.g. by renumbering the existing items in subquery_is_pushdown_safe's comment). Back-patch to 9.5 where grouping sets were introduced. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/16585-9d8c340d23ade8c1@postgresql.org
* Fix handling of CREATE TABLE LIKE with inheritance.Tom Lane2020-08-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a CREATE TABLE command uses both LIKE and traditional inheritance, Vars in CHECK constraints and expression indexes that are absorbed from a LIKE parent table tended to get mis-numbered, resulting in wrong answers and/or bizarre error messages (though probably not any actual crashes, thanks to validation occurring in the executor). In v12 and up, the same could happen to Vars in GENERATED expressions, even in cases with no LIKE clause but multiple traditional-inheritance parents. The cause of the problem for LIKE is that parse_utilcmd.c supposed it could renumber such Vars correctly during transformCreateStmt(), which it cannot since we have not yet accounted for columns added via inheritance. Fix that by postponing processing of LIKE INCLUDING CONSTRAINTS, DEFAULTS, GENERATED, INDEXES till after we've performed DefineRelation(). The error with GENERATED and multiple inheritance is a simple oversight in MergeAttributes(); it knows it has to renumber Vars in inherited CHECK constraints, but forgot to apply the same processing to inherited GENERATED expressions (a/k/a defaults). Per bug #16272 from Tom Gottfried. The non-GENERATED variants of the issue are ancient, presumably dating right back to the addition of CREATE TABLE LIKE; hence back-patch to all supported branches.
