* Cope with EINVAL and EIDRM shmat() failures in PGSharedMemoryAttach.Tom Lane2019-05-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's a very old race condition in our code to see whether a pre-existing shared memory segment is still in use by a conflicting postmaster: it's possible for the other postmaster to remove the segment in between our shmctl() and shmat() calls. It's a narrow window, and there's no risk unless both postmasters are using the same port number, but that's possible during parallelized "make check" tests. (Note that while the TAP tests take some pains to choose a randomized port number, pg_regress doesn't.) If it does happen, we treated that as an unexpected case and errored out. To fix, allow EINVAL to be treated as segment-not-present, and the same for EIDRM on Linux. AFAICS, the considerations here are basically identical to the checks for acceptable shmctl() failures, so I documented and coded it that way. While at it, adjust PGSharedMemoryAttach's API to remove its undocumented dependency on UsedShmemSegAddr in favor of passing the attach address explicitly. This makes it easier to be sure we're using a null shmaddr when probing for segment conflicts (thus avoiding questions about what EINVAL means). I don't think there was a bug there, but it required fragile assumptions about the state of UsedShmemSegAddr during PGSharedMemoryIsInUse. Commit c09850992 may have made this failure more probable by applying the conflicting-segment tests more often. Hence, back-patch to all supported branches, as that was.

* Improve and fix some error handling for REINDEX INDEX/TABLE CONCURRENTLYMichael Paquier2019-05-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This improves the user experience when it comes to restrict several flavors of REINDEX CONCURRENTLY. First, for INDEX, remove a restriction on shared relations as we already check after catalog relations. Then, for TABLE, add a proper error message when attempting to run the command on system catalogs. The code path of CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY already complains about that, but if a REINDEX is issued then then the error generated is confusing. While on it, add more tests to check restrictions on catalog indexes and on toast table/index for catalogs. Some error messages are improved, with wording suggestion coming from Tom Lane.

* Repair issues with faulty generation of merge-append plans.Tom Lane2019-05-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | create_merge_append_plan failed to honor the CP_EXACT_TLIST flag: it would generate the expected targetlist but then it felt free to add resjunk sort targets to it. This demonstrably leads to assertion failures in v11 and HEAD, and it's probably just accidental that we don't see the same in older branches. I've not looked into whether there would be any real-world consequences in non-assert builds. In HEAD, create_append_plan has sprouted the same problem, so fix that too (although we do not have any test cases that seem able to reach that bug). This is an oversight in commit 3fc6e2d7f which invented the CP_EXACT_TLIST flag, so back-patch to 9.6 where that came in. convert_subquery_pathkeys would create pathkeys for subquery output values if they match any EquivalenceClass known in the outer query and are available in the subquery's syntactic targetlist. However, the second part of that condition is wrong, because such values might not appear in the subquery relation's reltarget list, which would mean that they couldn't be accessed above the level of the subquery scan. We must check that they appear in the reltarget list, instead. This can lead to dropping knowledge about the subquery's sort ordering, but I believe it's okay, because any sort key that the outer query actually has any interest in would appear in the reltarget list. This second issue is of very long standing, but right now there's no evidence that it causes observable problems before 9.6, so I refrained from back-patching further than that. We can revisit that choice if somebody finds a way to make it cause problems in older branches. (Developing useful test cases for these issues is really problematic; fixing convert_subquery_pathkeys removes the only known way to exhibit the create_merge_append_plan bug, and neither of the test cases added by this patch causes a problem in all branches, even when considering the issues separately.) The second issue explains bug #15795 from Suresh Kumar R ("could not find pathkey item to sort" with nested DISTINCT queries). I stumbled across the first issue while investigating that.

* postgres_fdw: Fix cost estimation for aggregate pushdown.Etsuro Fujita2019-05-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In commit 7012b132d0, which added support for aggregate pushdown in postgres_fdw, the expense of evaluating the final scan/join target computed by make_group_input_target() was not accounted for at all in costing aggregate pushdown paths with local statistics. The right fix for this would be to have a separate upper stage to adjust the final scan/join relation (see comments for apply_scanjoin_target_to_paths()); but for now, fix by adding the tlist eval cost when costing aggregate pushdown paths with local statistics. Apply this to HEAD only to avoid destabilizing existing plan choices. Author: Etsuro Fujita Reviewed-By: Antonin Houska Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/5C66A056.60007%40lab.ntt.co.jp

* Clean up the behavior and API of catalog.c's is-catalog-relation tests.Tom Lane2019-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The right way for IsCatalogRelation/Class to behave is to return true for OIDs less than FirstBootstrapObjectId (not FirstNormalObjectId), without any of the ad-hoc fooling around with schema membership. The previous code was wrong because (1) it claimed that information_schema tables were not catalog relations but their toast tables were, which is silly; and (2) if you dropped and recreated information_schema, which is a supported operation, the behavior changed. That's even sillier. With this definition, "catalog relations" are exactly the ones traceable to the postgres.bki data, which seems like what we want. With this simplification, we don't actually need access to the pg_class tuple to identify a catalog relation; we only need its OID. Hence, replace IsCatalogClass with "IsCatalogRelationOid(oid)". But keep IsCatalogRelation as a convenience function. This allows fixing some arguably-wrong semantics in contrib/sepgsql and ReindexRelationConcurrently, which were using an IsSystemNamespace test where what they really should be using is IsCatalogRelationOid. The previous coding failed to protect toast tables of system catalogs, and also was not on board with the general principle that user-created tables do not become catalogs just by virtue of being renamed into pg_catalog. We can also get rid of a messy hack in ReindexMultipleTables. While we're at it, also rename IsSystemNamespace to IsCatalogNamespace, because the previous name invited confusion with the more expansive semantics used by IsSystemRelation/Class. Also improve the comments in catalog.c. There are a few remaining places in replication-related code that are special-casing OIDs below FirstNormalObjectId. I'm inclined to think those are wrong too, and if there should be any special case it should just extend to FirstBootstrapObjectId. But first we need to debate whether a FOR ALL TABLES publication should include information_schema.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On a 64-bit machine, if you set track_activity_query_size and max_connections such that their product exceeds 1GB, shared memory setup will still succeed (given enough RAM), but attempts to read pg_stat_activity fail with "invalid memory alloc request size".

Using the "huge" API costs us nothing extra in normal cases, and it seems better than throwing an error and/or explaining to people why they can't do this.

* Use checkAsUser for selectivity estimator checks, if it's set.Dean Rasheed2019-05-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In examine_variable() and examine_simple_variable(), when checking the user's table and column privileges to determine whether to grant access to the pg_statistic data, use checkAsUser for the privilege checks, if it's set. This will be the case if we're accessing the table via a view, to indicate that we should perform privilege checks as the view owner rather than the current user. This change makes this planner check consistent with the check in the executor, so the planner will be able to make use of statistics if the table is accessible via the view. This fixes a performance regression introduced by commit e2d4ef8de8, which affects queries against non-security barrier views in the case where the user doesn't have privileges on the underlying table, but the view owner does. Note that it continues to provide the same safeguards controlling access to pg_statistic for direct table access (in which case checkAsUser won't be set) and for security barrier views, because of the nearby checks on rte->security_barrier and rte->securityQuals. Back-patch to all supported branches because e2d4ef8de8 was. Dean Rasheed, reviewed by Jonathan Katz and Stephen Frost.
* Fix security checks for selectivity estimation functions with RLS.Dean Rasheed2019-05-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In commit e2d4ef8de8, security checks were added to prevent user-supplied operators from running over data from pg_statistic unless the user has table or column privileges on the table, or the operator is leakproof. For a table with RLS, however, checking for table or column privileges is insufficient, since that does not guarantee that the user has permission to view all of the column's data. Fix this by also checking for securityQuals on the RTE, and insisting that the operator be leakproof if there are any. Thus the leakproofness check will only be skipped if there are no securityQuals and the user has table or column privileges on the table -- i.e., only if we know that the user has access to all the data in the column. Back-patch to 9.5 where RLS was added. Dean Rasheed, reviewed by Jonathan Katz and Stephen Frost. Security: CVE-2019-10130

* Fix reindexing of pg_class indexes some more.Tom Lane2019-05-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commits 3dbb317d3 et al failed under CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS testing. Investigation showed that to reindex pg_class_oid_index, we must suppress accesses to the index (via SetReindexProcessing) before we call RelationSetNewRelfilenode, or at least before we do CommandCounterIncrement therein; otherwise, relcache reloads happening within the CCI may try to fetch pg_class rows using the index's new relfilenode value, which is as yet an empty file. Of course, the point of 3dbb317d3 was that that ordering didn't work either, because then RelationSetNewRelfilenode's own update of the index's pg_class row cannot access the index, should it need to. There are various ways we might have got around that, but Andres Freund came up with a brilliant solution: for a mapped index, we can really just skip the pg_class update altogether. The only fields it was actually changing were relpages etc, but it was just setting them to zeroes which is useless make-work. (Correct new values will be installed at the end of index build.) All pg_class indexes are mapped and probably always will be, so this eliminates the problem by removing work rather than adding it, always a pleasant outcome. Having taught RelationSetNewRelfilenode to do it that way, we can revert the code reordering in reindex_index. (But I left the moved setup code where it was; there seems no reason why it has to run without use of the old index. If you're trying to fix a busted pg_class index, you'll have had to disable system index use altogether to get this far.) Moreover, this means we don't need RelationSetIndexList at all, because reindex_relation's hacking to make "REINDEX TABLE pg_class" work is likewise now unnecessary. We'll leave that code in place in the back branches, but a follow-on patch will remove it in HEAD. In passing, do some minor cleanup for commit 5c1560606 (in HEAD only), notably removing a duplicate newrnode assignment. Patch by me, using a core idea due to Andres Freund.

* Fix nbtsort.c's page space accounting.Peter Geoghegan2019-05-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit dd299df8189, which made heap TID a tiebreaker nbtree index column, introduced new rules on page space management to make suffix truncation safe. In general, suffix truncation needs to have a small amount of extra space available on the new left page when splitting a leaf page. This is needed in case it turns out that truncation cannot even "truncate away the heap TID column", resulting in a larger-than-firstright leaf high key with an explicit heap TID representation. Despite all this, CREATE INDEX/nbtsort.c did not account for the possible need for extra heap TID space on leaf pages when deciding whether or not a new item could fit on current page. This could lead to "failed to add item to the index page" errors when CREATE INDEX/nbtsort.c tried to finish off a leaf page that lacked space for a larger-than-firstright leaf high key (it only had space for firstright tuple, which was just short of what was needed following "truncation"). Several conditions needed to be met all at once for CREATE INDEX to fail. The problem was in the hard limit on what will fit on a page, which tends to be masked by the soft fillfactor-wise limit. The easiest way to recreate the problem seems to be a CREATE INDEX on a low cardinality text column, with tuples that are of non-uniform width, using a fillfactor of 100. To fix, bring nbtsort.c in line with nbtsplitloc.c, which already pessimistically assumes that all leaf page splits will have high keys that have a heap TID appended.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new nleft_dead_tuples and nleft_dead_itemids fields are confusing and do not seem like the correct way forward. One of them is tested via an assertion that can fail, as it has already done on buildfarm member topminnow. Remove the assertion and the fields. Change the logic for the case where a tuple is not initially pruned by heap_page_prune but later diagnosed HEAPTUPLE_DEAD by HeapTupleSatisfiesVacuum. Previously, tupgone = true was set in that case, which leads to treating the tuple as one that will be removed. In a normal vacuum, that's OK, because we'll remove index entries for it and then the second heap pass will remove the tuple itself, but when index cleanup is disabled, those things don't happen, so we must instead treat it as a recently-dead tuple that we have voluntarily chosen to keep. Report and analysis by Tom Lane. This patch loosely based on one from Masahiko Sawada, but I changed most of it.
* Fix union for pgstat message typesMagnus Hagander2019-05-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | The message type for temp files and for checksum failures were missing from the union. Due to the coding style used there was no compiler error when this happend. So change the code to actively use the union thereby producing a compiler error if the same mistake happens again, suggested by Tom Lane.

* Run catalog reindexing test from 3dbb317d32 serially, to avoid deadlocks.Andres Freund2019-04-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The tests turn out to cause deadlocks in some circumstances. Fairly reproducibly so with -DRELCACHE_FORCE_RELEASE -DCATCACHE_FORCE_RELEASE. Some of the deadlocks may be hard to fix without disproportionate measures, but others probably should be fixed - but not in 12. We discussed removing the new tests until we can fix the issues underlying the deadlocks, but results from buildfarm animal markhor (which runs with CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS) indicates that there might be a more severe, as of yet undiagnosed, issue (including on stable branches) with reindexing catalogs. The failure is: ERROR: could not read block 0 in file "base/16384/28025": read only 0 of 8192 bytes Therefore it seems advisable to keep the tests. It's not certain that running the tests in isolation removes the risk of deadlocks. It's possible that additional locks are needed to protect against a concurrent auto-analyze or such.

* Improve code inferring length of bitmap for JITed tuple deforming.Andres Freund2019-04-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While discussing comment improvements (see next commit) by Justin Pryzby, Tom complained about a few details of the logic to infer the length of the NULL bitmap when building the JITed tuple deforming function. That bitmap allows to avoid checking the tuple header's natts, a check which often causes a pipeline stall Improvements: a) As long as missing columns aren't taken into account, we can continue to infer the length of the NULL bitmap from NOT NULL columns following it. Previously we stopped at the first missing column. It's unlikely to matter much in practice, but the alternative would have been to document why we stop. b) For robustness reasons it seems better to also check against attisdropped - RemoveAttributeById() sets attnotnull to false, but an additional check is trivial. c) Improve related comments Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20637.1555957068@sss.pgh.pa.us Backpatch: -
* Clean up handling of constraint_exclusion and enable_partition_pruning.Tom Lane2019-04-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The interaction of these parameters was a bit confused/confusing, and in fact v11 entirely misses the opportunity to apply partition constraints when a partition is accessed directly (rather than indirectly from its parent). In HEAD, establish the principle that enable_partition_pruning controls partition pruning and nothing else. When accessing a partition via its parent, we do partition pruning (if enabled by enable_partition_pruning) and then there is no need to consider partition constraints in the constraint_exclusion logic. When accessing a partition directly, its partition constraints are applied by the constraint_exclusion logic, only if constraint_exclusion = on. In v11, we can't have such a clean division of these GUCs' effects, partly because we don't want to break compatibility too much in a released branch, and partly because the clean coding requires inheritance_planner to have applied partition pruning to a partitioned target table, which it doesn't in v11. However, we can tweak things enough to cover the missed case, which seems like a good idea since it's potentially a performance regression from v10. This patch keeps v11's previous behavior in which enable_partition_pruning overrides constraint_exclusion for an inherited target table, though. In HEAD, also teach relation_excluded_by_constraints that it's okay to use inheritable constraints when trying to prune a traditional inheritance tree. This might not be thought worthy of effort given that that feature is semi-deprecated now, but we have enough infrastructure that it only takes a couple more lines of code to do it correctly.

* Fix potential assertion failure when reindexing a pg_class index.Andres Freund2019-04-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When reindexing individual indexes on pg_class it was possible to either trigger an assertion failure: TRAP: FailedAssertion("!(!ReindexIsProcessingIndex(((index)->rd_id))) That's because reindex_index() called SetReindexProcessing() - which enables an asserts ensuring no index insertions happen into the index - before calling RelationSetNewRelfilenode(). That not correct for indexes on pg_class, because RelationSetNewRelfilenode() updates the relevant pg_class row, which needs to update the indexes. The are two reasons this wasn't noticed earlier. Firstly the bug doesn't trigger when reindexing all of pg_class, as reindex_relation has code "hiding" all yet-to-be-reindexed indexes. Secondly, the bug only triggers when the the update to pg_class doesn't turn out to be a HOT update - otherwise there's no index insertion to trigger the bug. Most of the time there's enough space, making this bug hard to trigger. To fix, move RelationSetNewRelfilenode() to before the SetReindexProcessing() (and, together with some other code, to outside of the PG_TRY()). To make sure the error checking intended by SetReindexProcessing() is more robust, modify CatalogIndexInsert() to check ReindexIsProcessingIndex() even when the update is a HOT update. Also add a few regression tests for REINDEXing of system catalogs. The last two improvements would have prevented some of the issues fixed in 5c1560606dc4c from being introduced in the first place.

* Fix several recently introduced issues around handling new relation forks.Andres Freund2019-04-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Most of these stem from d25f519107 "tableam: relation creation, VACUUM FULL/CLUSTER, SET TABLESPACE.". 1) To pass data to the relation_set_new_filenode() RelationSetNewRelfilenode() was made to update RelationData.rd_rel directly. That's not OK however, as it makes the relcache entries temporarily inconsistent. Which among other scenarios is a problem if a REINDEX targets an index on pg_class - the CatalogTupleUpdate() in RelationSetNewRelfilenode(). Presumably that was introduced because other places in the code do so - while those aren't "good practice" they don't appear to be actively buggy (e.g. because system tables may not be targeted). I (Andres) should have caught this while reviewing and signficantly evolving the code in that commit, mea culpa. Fix that by instead passing in the new RelFileNode as separate argument to relation_set_new_filenode() and rely on the relcache to update the catalog entry. Also revert that the RelationMapUpdateMap() call was changed to immediate, and undo some other more unnecessary changes. 2) Document that the relation_set_new_filenode cannot rely on the whole relcache entry to be valid. It might be worthwhile to refactor the code to never have to rely on that, but given the way heap_create() is currently coded, that'd be a large change. 3) ATExecSetTableSpace() shouldn't do FlushRelationBuffers() itself. A table AM might not use shared buffers at all. Move to index_copy_data() and heapam_relation_copy_data(). 4) heapam_relation_set_new_filenode() previously sometimes accessed rel->rd_rel->relpersistence rather than the `persistence` argument. Code movement mistake. 5) Previously heapam_relation_set_new_filenode() re-opened the smgr relation to create the init for, if necesary. Instead have RelationCreateStorage() return the SMgrRelation and use it to create the init fork. 6) Add a note about the danger of modifying the relcache directly to ATExecSetTableSpace() - it's currently not a bug because there's a check ERRORing for catalog tables. Regression tests and assertion improvements that together trigger the bug described in 1) will be added in a later commit, as there is a related bug on all branches.
