* Fix memory leakage when function compilation fails.Tom Lane2025-05-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In pl_comp.c, initially create the plpgsql function's cache context under the assumed-short-lived caller's context, and reparent it under CacheMemoryContext only upon success. This avoids a process-lifespan leak of 8kB or more if the function contains syntax errors. (This leakage has existed for a long time without many complaints, but as we move towards a possibly multi-threaded future, getting rid of process-lifespan leaks grows more important.) In funccache.c, arrange to reclaim the CachedFunction struct in case the language-specific compile callback function throws an error; previously, that resulted in an independent process-lifespan leak. This is arguably a new bug in v18, since the leakage now occurred for SQL-language functions as well as plpgsql. Also, don't fill fn_xmin/fn_tid/dcallback until after successful completion of the compile callback. This avoids a scenario where a partially-built function cache might appear already valid upon later inspection, and another scenario where dcallback might fail upon being presented with an incomplete cache entry. We would have to reach such a faulty cache entry via a pre-existing fn_extra pointer, so I'm not sure these scenarios correspond to any live bug. (The predecessor code in pl_comp.c never took any care about this, and we've heard no complaints about that.) Still, it's better to be careful. Given the lack of field complaints, I'm not very excited about back-patching any of this; but it seems still in-scope for v18. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/999171.1748300004@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Fix conversion of SIMILAR TO regexes for character classesMichael Paquier2025-05-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The code that translates SIMILAR TO pattern matching expressions to POSIX-style regular expressions did not consider that square brackets can be nested. For example, in an expression like [[:alpha:]%_], the logic replaced the placeholders '_' and '%' but it should not. This commit fixes the conversion logic by tracking the nesting level of square brackets marking character class areas, while considering that in expressions like []] or [^]] the first closing square bracket is a regular character. Multiple tests are added to show how the conversions should or should not apply applied while in a character class area, with specific cases added for all the characters converted outside character classes like an opening parenthesis '(', dollar sign '$', etc. Author: Laurenz Albe <laurenz.albe@cybertec.at> Reviewed-by: Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us> Reviewed-by: Michael Paquier <michael@paquier.xyz> Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/16ab039d1af455652bdf4173402ddda145f2c73b.camel@cybertec.at Backpatch-through: 13
* Fix assertion when decrementing eager scanning success and failure counters.Masahiko Sawada2025-05-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, we asserted that the eager scan's success and failure counters were positive before decrementing them. However, this assumption was incorrect, as it's possible that some blocks have already been eagerly scanned by the time eager scanning is disabled. This commit replaces the assertions with guards to handle this scenario gracefully. With this change, we continue to allow read-ahead operations by the read stream that exceed the success and failure caps. While there is a possibility that overruns will trigger eager scans of additional pages, this does not pose a practical concern as the overruns will not be substantial and remain within an acceptable range.

* Fix per-relation memory leakage in autovacuum.Tom Lane2025-05-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | PgStat_StatTabEntry and AutoVacOpts structs were leaked until the end of the autovacuum worker's run, which is bad news if there are a lot of relations in the database. Note: pfree'ing the PgStat_StatTabEntry structs here seems a bit risky, because pgstat_fetch_stat_tabentry_ext does not guarantee anything about whether its result is long-lived. It appears okay so long as autovacuum forces PGSTAT_FETCH_CONSISTENCY_NONE, but I think that API could use a re-think. Also ensure that the VacuumRelation structure passed to vacuum() is in recoverable storage. Back-patch to v15 where we started to manage table statistics this way. (The AutoVacOpts leakage is probably older, but I'm not excited enough to worry about just that part.)

* Fix AlignedAllocRealloc to cope sanely with OOM.Tom Lane2025-05-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the inner allocation call returns NULL, we should restore the previous state and return NULL. Previously this code pfree'd the old chunk anyway, which is surely wrong. Also, make it call MemoryContextAllocationFailure rather than summarily returning NULL. The fact that we got control back from the inner call proves that MCXT_ALLOC_NO_OOM was passed, so this change is just cosmetic, but someday it might be less so. This is just a latent bug at present: AFAICT no in-core callers use this function at all, let alone call it with MCXT_ALLOC_NO_OOM. Still, it's the kind of bug that might bite back-patched code pretty hard someday, so let's back-patch to v17 where the bug was introduced (by commit 743112a2e).

* Replace deprecated log_connections values in docs and testsMelanie Plageman2025-05-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 9219093cab2607f modularized log_connections output to allow more granular control over which aspects of connection establishment are logged. It converted the boolean log_connections GUC into a list of strings and deprecated previously supported boolean-like values on, off, true, false, 1, 0, yes, and no. Those values still work, but they are supported mainly for backwards compatability. As such, documented examples of log_connections should not use these deprecated values. Update references in the docs to deprecated log_connections values. Many of the tests use log_connections. This commit also updates the tests to use the new values of log_connections. In some of the tests, the updated log_connections value covers a narrower set of aspects (e.g. the 'authentication' aspect in the tests in src/test/authentication and the 'receipt' aspect in src/test/postmaster). In other cases, the new value for log_connections is a superset of the previous included aspects (e.g. 'all' in src/test/kerberos/t/001_auth.pl).

* In ExecInitModifyTable, don't scribble on the source plan.Tom Lane2025-05-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The code carelessly modified mtstate->ps.plan->targetlist, which it's not supposed to do. Fortunately, there's not really any need to do that because the planner already set up a perfectly acceptable targetlist for the plan node. We just need to remove the erroneous assignments and update some relevant comments. As it happens, the erroneous assignments caused the targetlist to point to a different part of the source plan tree, so that there isn't really a risk of the pointer becoming dangling after executor termination. The only visible effect of this change we can find is that EXPLAIN will show upper references to the ModifyTable's output expressions using different variables. Formerly it showed Vars from the first target relation that survived executor-startup pruning. Now it always shows such references using the first relation appearing in the planner output, independently of what happens during executor pruning. On the whole that seems like a good thing. Also make a small tweak in ExplainPreScanNode to ensure that the first relation will receive a refname assignment in set_rtable_names, even if it got pruned at startup. Previously the Vars might be shown without any table qualification, which is confusing in a multi-table query. I considered back-patching this, but since the bug doesn't seem to have any really terrible consequences in existing branches, it seems better to not change their EXPLAIN output. It's not too late for v18 though, especially since v18 already made other changes in the EXPLAIN output for these cases.

* Fix incorrect WAL description for PREPARE TRANSACTION record.Fujii Masao2025-05-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since commit 8b1dccd37c7, the PREPARE TRANSACTION WAL record includes information about dropped statistics entries. However, the WAL resource manager description function for PREPARE TRANSACTION record failed to parse this information correctly and always assumed there were no such entries. As a result, for example, pg_waldump could not display the dropped statistics entries stored in PREPARE TRANSACTION records. The root cause was that ParsePrepareRecord() did not set the number of statistics entries to drop on commit or abort. These values remained zero-initialized and were never updated from the parsed record. This commit fixes the issue by properly setting those values during parsing. With this fix, pg_waldump can now correctly report dropped statistics entries in PREPARE TRANSACTION records. Back-patch to v15, where commit 8b1dccd37c7 was introduced.

* Fix regression with location calculation of nested statementsMichael Paquier2025-05-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The statement location calculated for some nested query cases was wrong when multiple queries are sent as a single string, these being separated by semicolons. As pointed by Sami Imseih, the location calculation was incorrect when the last query of nested statement with multiple queries does **NOT** finish with a semicolon for the last statement. In this case, the statement length tracked by RawStmt is 0, which is equivalent to say that the string should be used until its end. The code previously discarded this case entirely, causing the location to remain at 0, the same as pointing at the beginning of the string. This caused pg_stat_statements to store incorrect query strings. This issue has been introduced in 499edb09741b. I have looked at the diffs generated by pgaudit back then, and noticed the difference generated for this nested query case, but I have missed the point that it was an actual regression with an existing case. A test case is added in pg_stat_statements to provide some coverage, restoring the pre-17 behavior for the calculation of the query locations. Special thanks to David Steele, who, through an analysis of the test diffs generated by pgaudit with the new v18 logic, has poked me about the fact that my original analysis of the matter was wrong. The test output of pg_overexplain is updated to reflect the new logic, as the new locations refer to the beginning of the argument passed to the function explain_filter(). When the module was introduced in 8d5ceb113e3f, which was after 499edb09741b (for the new calculation method), the locations of the test were not actually right: the plan generated for the query string given in input of the function pointed to the top-level query, not the nested one.

The deparsing logic didn't quite match the grammar rule, and failed to use parens e.g. for "5::bigint". To fix, always surround the expression with parens. Would be nice to omit the parens in simple cases, but unfortunately it's non-trivial to detect such simple cases. Even if the expression is a simple literal 123 in the original query, after parse analysis it becomes a FuncExpr with COERCE_IMPLICIT_CAST rather than a simple Const.

* Fix Assert failure in XMLTABLE parserRichard Guo2025-05-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In an XMLTABLE expression, columns can be marked NOT NULL, and the parser internally fabricates an option named "is_not_null" to represent this.

This creates a conflict: a user can explicitly use "is_not_null" as an option name and assign it a non-Boolean value, which violates internal assumptions and triggers an assertion failure. To fix, this patch checks whether a user-supplied name collides with the internally reserved option name and raises an error if so. Additionally, the internal name is renamed to "__pg__is_not_null" to further reduce the risk of collision with user-defined names.

* Suppress unnecessary explicit sorting for EPQ mergejoin pathRichard Guo2025-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When building a ForeignPath for a joinrel, if there's a possibility that EvalPlanQual will be executed, we must identify a suitable path for EPQ checks. If the outer or inner path of the chosen path is a ForeignPath representing a pushed-down join, we replace it with its fdw_outerpath to ensure that the EPQ check path consists entirely of local joins. If the chosen path is a MergePath, and its outer or inner path is a ForeignPath that is not already well enough ordered, the MergePath will have non-NIL outersortkeys or innersortkeys indicating the desired ordering to be created by an explicit Sort node. If we then replace the outer or inner path with its corresponding fdw_outerpath, and that path is already sufficiently ordered, we end up in an inconsistent state: the MergePath has non-NIL outersortkeys or innersortkeys, and its input path is already properly ordered. This inconsistency can result in an Assert failure or the addition of a redundant Sort node. To fix, check if the new outer or inner path of a MergePath is already properly sorted, and set its outersortkeys or innersortkeys to NIL if so.

* Remove pg_replication_origin's TOAST table.Nathan Bossart2025-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A few places that access this catalog don't set up an active snapshot before potentially accessing its TOAST table. However, roname (the replication origin name) is the only varlena column, so this is only a problem if the name requires out-of-line storage. This commit removes its TOAST table to avoid needing to set up a snapshot. It also places a limit on replication origin names so that attempts to set long names will fail with a more user-friendly error. Those chosen limit of 512 bytes should be sufficient to avoid "row is too big" errors independent of BLCKSZ, but it should also be lenient enough for all reasonable use-cases. Bumps catversion.

* Prevent premature nbtree array advancement.Peter Geoghegan2025-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | nbtree array index scans could fail to return matching tuples in rare cases where the missed tuples cover key space that the scan's arrays incorrectly indicate has already been read. These cases involved nearby tuples with NULL values that were evaluated using a skip array key while in pstate.forcenonrequired mode. To fix, prevent forcenonrequired mode from prematurely advancing the scan's array keys beyond key space that the scan has yet to read tuples from: reset the scan's array keys (to the first elements in the current scan direction) before the _bt_checkkeys call for pstate.finaltup. That way _bt_checkkeys starts from a clean slate, which ensures that it will call _bt_advance_array_keys (while passing it sktrig_required=true). This reliably restores the invariant that the scan's arrays always accurately track its progress through the index's key space (at least when the scan is "between pages").

* nbtree: tighten up array recheck rules.Peter Geoghegan2025-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Be more conservative when performing a scheduled recheck of an nbtree scan's array keys once on the next page, having set so->scanBehind: back out of reading the page (perform another primitive scan instead) when the next page's high key/finaltup has an untruncated prefix of matching values and truncated suffix attributes associated with lower-order keys. In other words, stop assuming that the lower-order keys have been satisfied by the truncated suffix attributes in this context (only do so when considering scheduling a recheck within _bt_advance_array_keys). The new behavior is more logical: if the next page read after setting so->scanBehind can only contain tuples that are themselves "behind the scan", that's reason enough to cut our losses. In general, when we set so->scanBehind, we only expect to perform one recheck on the next page to make a final decision about whether or not to continue the current primitive index scan. It seems unprincipled for the recheck to allow a _bt_readpage to continue unless the scan's arrays will advance/unless the page might actually contain relevant tuples. In practice it is highly unlikely that things will line up like this (the untruncated prefix of attribute values from the next page's high key is seldom an exact match for their corresponding array's current element following array advancement on the original/previous page). That gives us all the more reason to keep things simple and consistent. This was arguably an oversight in commit 9a2e2a285a, which improved nbtree array primitive scan scheduling.

* With GB18030, prevent SIGSEGV from reading past end of allocation.Noah Misch2025-05-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With GB18030 as source encoding, applications could crash the server via SQL functions convert() or convert_from(). Applications themselves could crash after passing unterminated GB18030 input to libpq functions PQescapeLiteral(), PQescapeIdentifier(), PQescapeStringConn(), or PQescapeString(). Extension code could crash by passing unterminated GB18030 input to jsonapi.h functions. All those functions have been intended to handle untrusted, unterminated input safely. A crash required allocating the input such that the last byte of the allocation was the last byte of a virtual memory page. Some malloc() implementations take measures against that, making the SIGSEGV hard to reach. Back-patch to v13 (all supported versions).

* Avoid treating nonrequired nbtree keys as required.Peter Geoghegan2025-05-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Consistently prevent nbtree array advancement from treating a scankey as required when operating in pstate.forcenonrequired mode. Otherwise, we risk a NULL pointer dereference. This was possible in the path where _bt_check_compare is called to recheck a tuple that advanced all of the scan's arrays to matching values: its continuescan=false handling expects _bt_advance_array_keys to have been called with a valid pstate, but it'll always be NULL during sktrig_required=false calls (which is how _bt_advance_array_keys must be called when pstate.forcenonrequired).

* Fix memory leak in _gin_parallel_mergeTomas Vondra2025-05-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To insert the merged GIN entries in _gin_parallel_merge, the leader calls ginEntryInsert(). This may allocate memory, e.g. for a new leaf tuple. This was allocated in the PortalContext, and kept until the end of the index build. For most GIN indexes the amount of leaked memory is negligible, but for custom opclasses with large keys it may cause OOMs. Fixed by calling ginEntryInsert() in a temporary memory context, reset after each insert. Other ginEntryInsert() callers do this too, except that the context is reset after batches of inserts. More frequent resets don't seem to hurt performance, it may even help it a bit.

* Don't use a tuplestore if we don't have to for SQL-language functions.Tom Lane2025-05-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We only need a tuplestore if we're actually going to accumulate multiple result tuples. Obviously then we don't need one for non-set- returning functions; but even a SRF doesn't need one if we decide to use "lazyEval" (one row at a time) mode. In these cases, it's sufficient to use the junkfilter's result slot to hold the single row that's due to be returned. We just need to "materialize" that slot to ensure it holds onto the data past shutdown of the sub-executor. The original intent of this patch was partially to save a few cycles (by not putting tuples into a tuplestore only to pull them back out immediately), but mostly to ensure that we don't use a tuplestore in non-set-returning functions. That's because I had concerns about whether a tuplestore is safe to keep across queries, which was possible for functions invoked via long-lived FmgrInfos such as those kept in the typcache. There are no cases where SRFs are called that way, so getting rid of the tuplestore in non-SRFs should make things safer. However, it emerges that running fmgr_sql in a short-lived context (as 595d1efed made it do) makes the existing coding unsafe anyway: we can end up with a long-lived TupleTableSlot holding a freeable reference to a short-lived tuple, resulting in a double-free crash. Not trying to pull tuples out of the tuplestore using that slot dodges the problem, so I'm going to commit this now rather than invent a band-aid solution for v18.

* Handle self-referencing FKs correctly in partitioned tablesÁlvaro Herrera2025-05-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For self-referencing foreign keys in partitioned tables, we weren't handling creation of pg_constraint rows during CREATE TABLE PARTITION AS as well as ALTER TABLE ATTACH PARTITION. This is an old bug -- mostly, we broke this in 614a406b4ff1 while trying to fix it (so 12.13, 13.9, 14.6 and 15.0 and up all behave incorrectly). This commit reverts part of that with additional fixes for full correctness, and installs more tests to verify the parts we broke, not just the catalog contents but also the user-visible behavior. Backpatch to all live branches. In branches 13 and 14, commit 46a8c27a7226 changed the behavior during DETACH to drop a FK constraint rather than trying to repair it, because the complete fix of repairing catalog constraints was problematic due to lack of previous fixes. For this reason, the test behavior in those branches is a bit different. However, as best as I can tell, the fix works correctly there. In release notes we have to recommend that all self-referencing foreign keys on partitioned tables be recreated if partitions have been created or attached after the FK was created, keeping in mind that violating rows might already be present on the referencing side.

* Make "directory" setting work with extension_control_pathPeter Eisentraut2025-05-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The extension_control_path setting (commit 4f7f7b03758) did not support extensions that set a custom "directory" setting in their control file. Very few extensions use that and during the discussion on the previous commit it was suggested to maybe remove that functionality. But a fix was easier than initially thought, so this just adds that support. The fix is to use the control->control_dir as a share dir to return the path of the extension script files. To make this work more sensibly overall, the directory suffix "extension" is no longer to be included in the extension_control_path value. To quote the patch, it would be -extension_control_path = '/usr/local/share/postgresql/extension:/home/my_project/share/extension:$system' +extension_control_path = '/usr/local/share/postgresql:/home/my_project/share:$system' During the initial patch, there was some discussion on which of these two approaches would be better, and the committed patch was a 50/50 decision. But the support for the "directory" setting pushed it the other way, and also it seems like many people didn't like the previous behavior much.
