* Remove IRIX port.Robert Haas2013-10-18
| | | | | | | Development of IRIX has been discontinued, and support is scheduled to end in December of 2013. Therefore, there will be no supported versions of this operating system by the time PostgreSQL 9.4 is released. Furthermore, we have no maintainer for this platform.
* Remove spinlock support for SINIX, Sun3, and NS32K.Robert Haas2013-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | All of these platforms are very much obsolete. As far as I can determine, the last version of SINIX, later renamed Reliant, occurred some time between 2002 and 2005. The last release of SunOS that would run on a sun3 was released in November of 1991; the last release of OpenBSD which supported that platform was in 2001. The highest clock speed of any processor in the family was 25MHz. The NS32K (national semiconductor 320xx) architecture was retired in 1990. Support can be re-added if a maintainer emerges for any of these platforms, but it seems unlikely. Reviewed by Andres Freund.

* Rework SSL renegotiation codeAlvaro Herrera2013-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The existing renegotiation code was home for several bugs: it might erroneously report that renegotiation had failed; it might try to execute another renegotiation while the previous one was pending; it failed to terminate the connection if the renegotiation never actually took place; if a renegotiation was started, the byte count was reset, even if the renegotiation wasn't completed (this isn't good from a security perspective because it means continuing to use a session that should be considered compromised due to volume of data transferred.) The new code is structured to avoid these pitfalls: renegotiation is started a little earlier than the limit has expired; the handshake sequence is retried until it has actually returned successfully, and no more than that, but if it fails too many times, the connection is closed. The byte count is reset only when the renegotiation has succeeded, and if the renegotiation byte count limit expires, the connection is terminated. This commit only touches the master branch, because some of the changes are controversial. If everything goes well, a back-patch might be considered.

* Remove maintainer-check target, fold into normal buildPeter Eisentraut2013-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | make maintainer-check was obscure and rarely called in practice, and many breakages were missed. Fold everything that make maintainer-check used to do into the normal build. Specifically: - Call duplicate_oids when genbki.pl is called. - Check for tabs in SGML files when the documentation is built. - Run msgfmt with the -c option during the regular build. Add an additional configure check to see whether we are using the GNU version. (make maintainer-check probably used to fail with non-GNU msgfmt.) Keep maintainer-check as around as phony target for the time being in case anyone is calling it. But it won't do anything anymore.

* Add record_image_ops opclass for matview concurrent refresh.Kevin Grittner2013-10-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW CONCURRENTLY was broken for any matview containing a column of a type without a default btree operator class. It also did not produce results consistent with a non- concurrent REFRESH or a normal view if any column was of a type which allowed user-visible differences between values which compared as equal according to the type's default btree opclass. Concurrent matview refresh was modified to use the new operators to solve these problems. Documentation was added for record comparison, both for the default btree operator class for record, and the newly added operators. Regression tests now check for proper behavior both for a matview with a box column and a matview containing a citext column. Reviewed by Steve Singer, who suggested some of the doc language.

* TYPEALIGN doesn't work on int64 on 32-bit platforms.Heikki Linnakangas2013-10-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The TYPEALIGN macro, and the related ones like MAXALIGN, don't work with values larger than intptr_t, because TYPEALIGN casts the argument to intptr_t to do the arithmetic. That's not a problem when dealing with pointers or lengths or offsets related to pointers, but the XLogInsert scaling patch added a call to MAXALIGN with an XLogRecPtr argument. To fix, add wider variants of the macros, called TYPEALIGN64 and MAXALIGN64, which are just like the existing variants but work with uint64 instead of intptr_t. Report and patch by David Rowley, analysis by Andres Freund.
* Fix bugs in SSI tuple locking.Heikki Linnakangas2013-10-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | 1. In heap_hot_search_buffer(), the PredicateLockTuple() call is passed wrong offset number. heapTuple->t_self is set to the tid of the first tuple in the chain that's visited, not the one actually being read. 2. CheckForSerializableConflictIn() uses the tuple's t_ctid field instead of t_self to check for exiting predicate locks on the tuple. If the tuple was updated, but the updater rolled back, t_ctid points to the aborted dead tuple. Reported by Hannu Krosing. Backpatch to 9.1.

* Eliminate xmin from hash tag for predicate locks on heap tuples.Kevin Grittner2013-10-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a tuple was frozen while its predicate locks mattered, read-write dependencies could be missed, resulting in failure to detect conflicts which could lead to anomalies in committed serializable transactions. This field was added to the tag when we still thought that it was necessary to carry locks forward to a new version of an updated row. That was later proven to be unnecessary, which allowed simplification of the code, but elimination of xmin from the tag was missed at the time. Per report and analysis by Heikki Linnakangas. Backpatch to 9.1.
* Fix various bugs in postmaster SIGKILL processingAlvaro Herrera2013-10-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Clamp the minimum sleep time during immediate shutdown or crash to a minimum of zero, not a maximum of one second. The previous code could result in a negative sleep time, leading to failure in select() calls. Also, on crash recovery, reset AbortStartTime as soon as SIGKILL is sent or abort processing has commenced instead of waiting until the startup process completes. Reset AbortStartTime as soon as SIGKILL is sent, too, to avoid doing that repeatedly.

* Minor GIN code refactoring.Heikki Linnakangas2013-10-03
| | | | | | | | | | | It makes for cleaner code to have separate Get/Add functions for PostingItems and ItemPointers. A few callsites that have to deal with both types need to be duplicated because of this, but all the callers have to know which one they're dealing with anyway. Overall, this reduces the amount of casting required. Extracted from Alexander Korotkov's larger patch to change the data page format.

* In bms_add_member(), use repalloc() if the bms needs to be enlarged.Heikki Linnakangas2013-09-30
| | | | | | | | | | | Previously bms_add_member() would palloc a whole-new copy of the existing set, copy the words, and pfree the old one. repalloc() is potentially much faster, and more importantly, this is less surprising if CurrentMemoryContext is not the same as the context the old set is in. bms_add_member() still allocates a new bitmapset in CurrentMemoryContext if NULL is passed as argument, but that is a lot less likely to induce bugs. Nicholas White.
* Fix snapshot leak if lo_open called on non-existent object.Heikki Linnakangas2013-09-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | lo_open registers the currently active snapshot, and checks if the large object exists after that. Normally, snapshots registered by lo_open are unregistered at end of transaction when the lo descriptor is closed, but if we error out before the lo descriptor is added to the list of open descriptors, it is leaked. Fix by moving the snapshot registration to after checking if the large object exists. Reported by Pavel Stehule. Backpatch to 8.4. The snapshot registration system was introduced in 8.4, so prior versions are not affected (and not supported, anyway).

* Fix spurious warning after vacuuming a page on a table with no indexes.Heikki Linnakangas2013-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a rare race condition, when a transaction that inserted a tuple aborts while vacuum is processing the page containing the inserted tuple. Vacuum prunes the page first, which normally removes any dead tuples, but if the inserting transaction aborts right after that, the loop after pruning will see a dead tuple and remove it instead. That's OK, but if the page is on a table with no indexes, and the page becomes completely empty after removing the dead tuple (or tuples) on it, it will be immediately marked as all-visible. That's OK, but the sanity check in vacuum would throw a warning because it thinks that the page contains dead tuples and was nevertheless marked as all-visible, even though it just vacuumed away the dead tuples and so it doesn't actually contain any. Spotted this while reading the code. It's difficult to hit the race condition otherwise, but can be done by putting a breakpoint after the heap_page_prune() call. Backpatch all the way to 8.4, where this code first appeared.
* Plug memory leak in range_cmp function.Heikki Linnakangas2013-09-25
| | | | | | | | B-tree operators are not allowed to leak memory into the current memory context. Range_cmp leaked detoasted copies of the arguments. That caused a quick out-of-memory error when creating an index on a range column. Reported by Marian Krucina, bug #8468.

* Don't allow system columns in CHECK constraints, except tableoid.Robert Haas2013-09-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, arbitray system columns could be mentioned in table constraints, but they were not correctly checked at runtime, because the values weren't actually set correctly in the tuple. Since it seems easy enough to initialize the table OID properly, do that, and continue allowing that column, but disallow the rest unless and until someone figures out a way to make them work properly. No back-patch, because this doesn't seem important enough to take the risk of destabilizing the back branches. In fact, this will pose a dump-and-reload hazard for those upgrading from previous versions: constraints that were accepted before but were not correctly enforced will now either be enforced correctly or not accepted at all. Either could result in restore failures, but in practice I think very few users will notice the difference, since the use case is pretty marginal anyway and few users will be relying on features that have not historically worked.

* Rename various "freeze multixact" variablesAlvaro Herrera2013-09-16
| | | | | | | | | It seems to make more sense to use "cutoff multixact" terminology throughout the backend code; "freeze" is associated with replacing of an Xid with FrozenTransactionId, which is not what we do for MultiXactIds. Andres Freund Some adjustments by Álvaro Herrera

* Ignore interrupts during quickdie().Noah Misch2013-09-11
| | | | | | | | | Once the administrator has called for an immediate shutdown or a backend crash has triggered a reinitialization, no mere SIGINT or SIGTERM should change that course. Such derailment remains possible when the signal arrives before quickdie() blocks signals. That being a narrow race affecting most PostgreSQL signal handlers in some way, leave it for another patch. Back-patch this to all supported versions.
