* Convert encrypted SSL test keys to PKCS#8 formatPeter Eisentraut2023-08-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | OpenSSL in FIPS mode rejects several encrypted private keys used in the test suites ssl and ssl_passphrase_callback. This is because they are in a "traditional" OpenSSL format that uses MD5 for key generation. The fix is to convert them to the more standard PKCS#8 format that uses SHA1 for key derivation. This commit contains the converted keys, with the conversion done like this: openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -in src/test/modules/ssl_passphrase_callback/server.key -passin pass:FooBaR1 -out src/test/modules/ssl_passphrase_callback/server.key.new -passout pass:FooBaR1 mv src/test/modules/ssl_passphrase_callback/server.key.new src/test/modules/ssl_passphrase_callback/server.key etc., as well as updated build rules to generate the keys in the new format if they need to be regenerated.

* Catalog not-null constraintsAlvaro Herrera2023-08-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We now create contype='n' pg_constraint rows for not-null constraints. We propagate these constraints to other tables during operations such as adding inheritance relationships, creating and attaching partitions and creating tables LIKE other tables. We also spawn not-null constraints for inheritance child tables when their parents have primary keys. These related constraints mostly follow the well-known rules of conislocal and coninhcount that we have for CHECK constraints, with some adaptations: for example, as opposed to CHECK constraints, we don't match not-null ones by name when descending a hierarchy to alter it, instead matching by column name that they apply to. This means we don't require the constraint names to be identical across a hierarchy. For now, we omit them for system catalogs. Maybe this is worth reconsidering. We don't support NOT VALID nor DEFERRABLE clauses either; these can be added as separate features later (this patch is already large and complicated enough.) psql shows these constraints in \d+. pg_dump requires some ad-hoc hacks, particularly when dumping a primary key. We now create one "throwaway" not-null constraint for each column in the PK together with the CREATE TABLE command, and once the PK is created, all those throwaway constraints are removed. This avoids having to check each tuple for nullness when the dump restores the primary key creation. pg_upgrading from an older release requires a somewhat brittle procedure to create a constraint state that matches what would be created if the database were being created fresh in Postgres 17. I have tested all the scenarios I could think of, and it works correctly as far as I can tell, but I could have neglected weird cases. This patch has been very long in the making. The first patch was written by Bernd Helmle in 2010 to add a new pg_constraint.contype value ('n'), which I (Álvaro) then hijacked in 2011 and 2012, until that one was killed by the realization that we ought to use contype='c' instead: manufactured CHECK constraints. However, later SQL standard development, as well as nonobvious emergent properties of that design (mostly, failure to distinguish them from "normal" CHECK constraints as well as the performance implication of having to test the CHECK expression) led us to reconsider this choice, so now the current implementation uses contype='n' again. During Postgres 16 this had already been introduced by commit e056c557aef4, but there were some problems mainly with the pg_upgrade procedure that couldn't be fixed in reasonable time, so it was reverted. In 2016 Vitaly Burovoy also worked on this feature[1] but found no consensus for his proposed approach, which was claimed to be closer to the letter of the standard, requiring an additional pg_attribute column to track the OID of the not-null constraint for that column.

* Change custom wait events to use dynamic shared hash tablesMichael Paquier2023-08-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, the names of the custom wait event must be registered for each backend, requiring all these to link to the shared memory area of an extension, even if these are not loaded with shared_preload_libraries. This patch relaxes the constraints related to this infrastructure by storing the wait events and their names in two dynamic hash tables in shared memory. This has the advantage to simplify the registration of custom wait events to a single routine call that returns an event ID ready for consumption: uint32 WaitEventExtensionNew(const char *wait_event_name); The caller of this routine can then cache locally the ID returned, to be used for pgstat_report_wait_start(), WaitLatch() or a similar routine. The implementation uses two hash tables: one with a key based on the event name to avoid duplicates and a second using the event ID as key for event lookups, like on pg_stat_activity. These tables can hold a minimum of 16 entries, and a maximum of 128 entries, which should be plenty enough. The code changes done in worker_spi show how things are simplified (most of the code removed in this commit comes from there): - worker_spi_init() is gone. - No more shared memory hooks required (size requested and initialization). - The custom wait event ID is cached in the process that needs to set it, with one single call to WaitEventExtensionNew() to retrieve it. Per suggestion from Andres Freund. Author: Masahiro Ikeda, with a few tweaks from me. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20230801032349.aaiuvhtrcvvcwzcx@awork3.anarazel.de
* Reject substituting extension schemas or owners matching ["$'\].Noah Misch2023-08-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Substituting such values in extension scripts facilitated SQL injection when @extowner@, @extschema@, or @extschema:...@ appeared inside a quoting construct (dollar quoting, '', or ""). No bundled extension was vulnerable. Vulnerable uses do appear in a documentation example and in non-bundled extensions. Hence, the attack prerequisite was an administrator having installed files of a vulnerable, trusted, non-bundled extension. Subject to that prerequisite, this enabled an attacker having database-level CREATE privilege to execute arbitrary code as the bootstrap superuser. By blocking this attack in the core server, there's no need to modify individual extensions. Back-patch to v11 (all supported versions).

* Support custom wait events for wait event type "Extension"Michael Paquier2023-07-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Two backend routines are added to allow extension to allocate and define custom wait events, all of these being allocated in the type "Extension": * WaitEventExtensionNew(), that allocates a wait event ID computed from a counter in shared memory. * WaitEventExtensionRegisterName(), to associate a custom string to the wait event ID allocated. Note that this includes an example of how to use this new facility in worker_spi with tests in TAP for various scenarios, and some documentation about how to use them. Any code in the tree that currently uses WAIT_EVENT_EXTENSION could switch to this new facility to define custom wait events. This is left as work for future patches.

* worker_spi: Switch to TAP testsMichael Paquier2023-07-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit moves worker_spi to use TAP tests. sql/worker_spi.sql is gone, replaced by an equivalent set of queries in a TAP script, without worker_spi loaded in shared_preload_libraries: - One query to launch a worker dynamically, relying now on "postgres" as the default database to connect to. - Two wait queries with poll_query_until(), one to wait for the worker schema to be initialized and a second to wait for a tuple processed by the worker. - Server reload to accelerate the main loop of the spawned worker. More coverage is added for workers registered when the library is loaded with shared_preload_libraries, while on it, checking that these are connecting to the database set in the GUC worker_spi.database. A local run of these test is showing that TAP is slightly faster than the original, while providing more coverage (3.7s vs 4.4s). There was also some discussions about keeping the SQL tests, but this would require initializing twice a cluster, increasing the runtime of the tests up to 5.6s here. These tests will be expanded more in an upcoming patch aimed at adding support for custom wait events for the Extension class, still under discussion, to check the new in-core APIs with and without a library set in shared_preload_libraries. Bharath has written the part where shared_preload_libraries is used, while I have migrated the existing SQL tests to TAP.

* Fix worker_spi when launching workers without shared_preload_librariesMichael Paquier2023-07-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, the database name to connect is initialized only when the module is loaded with shared_preload_libraries, causing any call of worker_spi_launch() to fail if the library is not loaded for a dynamic bgworker launch. Rather than making the GUC defining the database to connect to a PGC_POSTMASTER, this commit switches worker_spi.database to PGC_SIGHUP, loaded even if the module's library is loaded dynamically for a worker. We have been discussing about the integration of more advanced tests in this module, with and without shared_preload_libraries set, so this eases a bit the work planned in this area.

* Fix ALTER EXTENSION SET SCHEMA with objects outside an extension's schemaMichael Paquier2023-07-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As coded, the code would use as a base comparison the namespace OID from the first object scanned in pg_depend when switching its namespace dependency entry to the new one, and use it as a base of comparison for any follow-up checks. It would also be used as the old namespace OID to switch *from* for the extension's pg_depend entry. Hence, if the first object scanned has a namespace different than the one stored in the extension, we would finish by: - Not checking that the extension objects map with the extension's schema. - Not switching the extension -> namespace dependency entry to the new namespace provided by the user, making ALTER EXTENSION ineffective. This issue exists since this command has been introduced in d9572c4 for relocatable extension, so backpatch all the way down to 11.

* Fix handling of empty ranges and NULLs in BRINTomas Vondra2023-05-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | BRIN indexes did not properly distinguish between summaries for empty (no rows) and all-NULL ranges, treating them as essentially the same thing. Summaries were initialized with allnulls=true, and opclasses simply reset allnulls to false when processing the first non-NULL value. This however produces incorrect results if the range starts with a NULL value (or a sequence of NULL values), in which case we forget the range contains NULL values when adding the first non-NULL value. This happens because the allnulls flag is used for two separate purposes - to mark empty ranges (not representing any rows yet) and ranges containing only NULL values. Opclasses don't know which of these cases it is, and so don't know whether to set hasnulls=true. Setting the flag in both cases would make it correct, but it would also make BRIN indexes useless for queries with IS NULL clauses. All ranges start empty (and thus allnulls=true), so all ranges would end up with either allnulls=true or hasnulls=true. The severity of the issue is somewhat reduced by the fact that it only happens when adding values to an existing summary with allnulls=true. This can happen e.g. for small tables (because a summary for the first range exists for all BRIN indexes), or for tables with large fraction of NULL values in the indexed columns. Bulk summarization (e.g. during CREATE INDEX or automatic summarization) that processes all values at once is not affected by this issue. In this case the flags were updated in a slightly different way, not forgetting the NULL values. To identify empty ranges we use a new flag, stored in an unused bit in the BRIN tuple header so the on-disk format remains the same. A matching flag is added to BrinMemTuple, into a 3B gap after bt_placeholder. That means there's no risk of ABI breakage, although we don't actually pass the BrinMemTuple to any public API. We could also skip storing index tuples for empty summaries, but then we'd have to always process such ranges - even if there are no rows in large parts of the table (e.g. after a bulk DELETE), it would still require reading the pages etc. So we store them, but ignore them when building the bitmap.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, a PostgreSQL-specific callback checked by the regex engine had a way to trigger a special error code REG_CANCEL if it detected that the next call to CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() would certainly throw via ereport(). A later proposed bugfix aims to move some complex logic out of signal handlers, so that it won't run until the next CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS(), which makes the above design impossible unless we split CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() into two phases, one to run logic and another to ereport(). We may develop such a system in the future, but for the regex code it is no longer necessary. An earlier commit moved regex memory management over to our MemoryContext system. Given that the purpose of the two-phase interrupt checking was to free memory before throwing, something we don't need to worry about anymore, it seems simpler to inject CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() directly into cancelation points, and just let it throw. Since the plan is to keep PostgreSQL-specific concerns separate from the main regex engine code (with a view to bein able to stay in sync with other projects), do this with a new macro INTERRUPT(), customizable in regcustom.h and defaulting to nothing.

* Add io_direct setting (developer-only).Thomas Munro2023-04-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Provide a way to ask the kernel to use O_DIRECT (or local equivalent) where available for data and WAL files, to avoid or minimize kernel caching. This hurts performance currently and is not intended for end users yet. Later proposed work would introduce our own I/O clustering, read-ahead, etc to replace the facilities the kernel disables with this option. The only user-visible change, if the developer-only GUC is not used, is that this commit also removes the obscure logic that would activate O_DIRECT for the WAL when wal_sync_method=open_[data]sync and wal_level=minimal (which also requires max_wal_senders=0). Those are non-default and unlikely settings, and this behavior wasn't (correctly) documented. The same effect can be achieved with io_direct=wal.

* Catalog NOT NULL constraintsAlvaro Herrera2023-04-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We now create pg_constaint rows for NOT NULL constraints with contype='n'. We propagate these constraints during operations such as adding inheritance relationships, creating and attaching partitions, creating tables LIKE other tables. We mostly follow the well-known rules of conislocal and coninhcount that we have for CHECK constraints, with some adaptations; for example, as opposed to CHECK constraints, we don't match NOT NULL ones by name when descending a hierarchy to alter it; instead we match by column number. This means we don't require the constraint names to be identical across a hierarchy. For now, we omit them from system catalogs. Maybe this is worth reconsidering. We don't support NOT VALID nor DEFERRABLE clauses either; these can be added as separate features later (this patch is already large and complicated enough.) This has been very long in the making. The first patch was written by Bernd Helmle in 2010 to add a new pg_constraint.contype value ('n'), which I (Álvaro) then hijacked in 2011 and 2012, until that one was killed by the realization that we ought to use contype='c' instead: manufactured CHECK constraints. However, later SQL standard development, as well as nonobvious emergent properties of that design (mostly, failure to distinguish them from "normal" CHECK constraints as well as the performance implication of having to test the CHECK expression) led us to reconsider this choice, so now the current implementation uses contype='n' again. In 2016 Vitaly Burovoy also worked on this feature[1] but found no consensus for his proposed approach, which was claimed to be closer to the letter of the standard, requiring additional pg_attribute columns to track the OID of the NOT NULL constraint for that column.

* Add @extschema:name@ and no_relocate options to extensions.Tom Lane2023-03-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | @extschema:name@ extends the existing @extschema@ feature so that we can also insert the schema name of some required extension, thus making cross-extension references robust even if they are in different schemas. However, this has the same hazard as @extschema@: if the schema name is embedded literally in an installed object, rather than being looked up once during extension script execution, then it's no longer safe to relocate the other extension to another schema. To deal with that without restricting things unnecessarily, add a "no_relocate" option to extension control files. This allows an extension to specify that it cannot handle relocation of some of its required extensions, even if in themselves those extensions are relocatable. We detect "no_relocate" requests of dependent extensions during ALTER EXTENSION SET SCHEMA.

* Ignore BRIN indexes when checking for HOT updatesTomas Vondra2023-03-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When determining whether an index update may be skipped by using HOT, we can ignore attributes indexed by block summarizing indexes without references to individual tuples that need to be cleaned up. A new type TU_UpdateIndexes provides a signal to the executor to determine which indexes to update - no indexes, all indexes, or only the summarizing indexes. This also removes rd_indexattr list, and replaces it with rd_attrsvalid flag. The list was not used anywhere, and a simple flag is sufficient. This was originally committed as 5753d4ee32, but then got reverted by e3fcca0d0d because of correctness issues. Original patch by Josef Simanek, various fixes and improvements by Tomas Vondra and me.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, meson installed modules under src/test/modules/ as part of a normal installation, even though these files are only meant for use by tests. This is because there is no way to set up up the build system to install extra things only when told. This patch fixes that with a workaround: We don't install these modules as part of meson install, but we create a new "test" that runs before the real tests whose action it is to install these files. The installation is done by manual copies using a small helper script.

* Rename force_parallel_mode to debug_parallel_queryDavid Rowley2023-02-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | force_parallel_mode is meant to be used to allow us to exercise the parallel query infrastructure to ensure that it's working as we expect. It seems some users think this GUC is for forcing the query planner into picking a parallel plan regardless of the costs. A quick look at the documentation would have made them realize that they were wrong, but the GUC is likely too conveniently named which, evidently, seems to often result in users expecting that it forces the planner into usefully parallelizing queries. Here we rename the GUC to something which casual users are less likely to mistakenly think is what they need to make their query run more quickly. For now, the old name can still be used. We'll revisit if the old name mapping can be removed once the buildfarm configs are all updated.
