* pg_rewind: Improve some messagesPeter Eisentraut2015-10-01
| | | | | | | The output of a typical pg_rewind run contained a mix of capitalized and not-capitalized and punctuated and not-punctuated phrases for no apparent reason. Make that consistent. Also fix some problems in other messages.

* Fix pg_dump to handle inherited NOT VALID check constraints correctly.Tom Lane2015-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This case seems to have been overlooked when unvalidated check constraints were introduced, in 9.2. The code would attempt to dump such constraints over again for each child table, even though adding them to the parent table is sufficient. In 9.2 and 9.3, also fix contrib/pg_upgrade/Makefile so that the "make clean" target fully cleans up after a failed test. This evidently got dealt with at some point in 9.4, but it wasn't back-patched. I ran into it while testing this fix ... Per bug #13656 from Ingmar Brouns.
* Fix commit_ts for standbyAlvaro Herrera2015-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Module initialization was still not completely correct after commit 6b61955135e9, per crash report from Takashi Ohnishi. To fix, instead of trying to monkey around with the value of the GUC setting directly, add a separate boolean flag that enables the feature on a standby, but only for the startup (recovery) process, when it sees that its master server has the feature enabled. Discussion: http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/ca44c6c7f9314868bdc521aea4f77cbf@MP-MSGSS-MBX004.msg.nttdata.co.jp Also change the deactivation routine to delete all segment files rather than leaving the last one around. (This doesn't need separate WAL-logging, because on recovery we execute the same deactivation routine anyway.) In passing, clean up the code structure somewhat, particularly so that xlog.c doesn't know so much about when to activate/deactivate the feature. Thanks to Fujii Masao for testing and Petr Jelínek for off-list discussion. Back-patch to 9.5, where commit_ts was introduced.
* Fix documentation error in commit 8703059c6b55c427100e00a09f66534b6ccbfaa1.Tom Lane2015-10-01

* Improve LISTEN startup time when there are many unread notifications.Tom Lane2015-09-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If some existing listener is far behind, incoming new listener sessions would start from that session's read pointer and then need to advance over many already-committed notification messages, which they have no interest in. This was expensive in itself and also thrashed the pg_notify SLRU buffers a lot more than necessary. We can improve matters considerably in typical scenarios, without much added cost, by starting from the furthest-ahead read pointer, not the furthest-behind one. We do have to consider only sessions in our own database when doing this, which requires an extra field in the data structure, but that's a pretty small cost. Back-patch to 9.0 where the current LISTEN/NOTIFY logic was introduced. Matt Newell, slightly adjusted by me
* Don't dump core when destroying an unused ParallelContext.Robert Haas2015-09-30
| | | | | | If a transaction or subtransaction creates a ParallelContext but ends without calling InitializeParallelDSM, the previous code would seg fault. Fix that.
* Include policies based on ACLs neededStephen Frost2015-09-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When considering which policies should be included, rather than look at individual bits of the query (eg: if a RETURNING clause exists, or if a WHERE clause exists which is referencing the table, or if it's a FOR SHARE/UPDATE query), consider any case where we've determined the user needs SELECT rights on the relation while doing an UPDATE or DELETE to be a case where we apply SELECT policies, and any case where we've deteremind that the user needs UPDATE rights on the relation while doing a SELECT to be a case where we apply UPDATE policies. This simplifies the logic and addresses concerns that a user could use UPDATE or DELETE with a WHERE clauses to determine if rows exist, or they could use SELECT .. FOR UPDATE to lock rows which they are not actually allowed to modify through UPDATE policies. Use list_append_unique() to avoid adding the same quals multiple times, as, on balance, the cost of checking when adding the quals will almost always be cheaper than keeping them and doing busywork for each tuple during execution. Back-patch to 9.5 where RLS was added.
* Fix incorrect tps number calculation in "excluding connections establishing".Tatsuo Ishii2015-09-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | The tolerance (larger than actual tps number) increases as the number of threads decreases. The bug has been there since the thread support was introduced in 9.0. Because back patching introduces incompatible behavior changes regarding the tps number, the fix is committed to master and 9.5 stable branches only. Problem spotted by me and fix proposed by Fabien COELHO. Note that his original patch included more than fixes (a code re-factoring) which is not related to the problem and I omitted the part.
* Code review for transaction commit timestampsAlvaro Herrera2015-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are three main changes here: 1. No longer cause a start failure in a standby if the feature is disabled in postgresql.conf but enabled in the master. This reverts one part of commit 4f3924d9cd43; what we keep is the ability of the standby to activate/deactivate the module (which includes creating and removing segments as appropriate) during replay of such actions in the master. 2. Replay WAL records affecting commitTS even if the feature is disabled. This means the standby will always have the same state as the master after replay. 3. Have COMMIT PREPARE record the transaction commit time as well. We were previously only applying it in the normal transaction commit path. Author: Petr Jelínek Discussion: http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CAHGQGwHereDzzzmfxEBYcVQu3oZv6vZcgu1TPeERWbDc+gQ06g@mail.gmail.com Discussion: http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CAHGQGwFuzfO4JscM9LCAmCDCxp_MfLvN4QdB+xWsS-FijbjTYQ@mail.gmail.com Additionally, I cleaned up nearby code related to replication origins, which I found a bit hard to follow, and fixed a couple of typos. Backpatch to 9.5, where this code was introduced. Per bug reports from Fujii Masao and subsequent discussion.
* Fix plperl to handle non-ASCII error message texts correctly.Tom Lane2015-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We were passing error message texts to croak() verbatim, which turns out not to work if the text contains non-ASCII characters; Perl mangles their encoding, as reported in bug #13638 from Michal Leinweber. To fix, convert the text into a UTF8-encoded SV first. It's hard to test this without risking failures in different database encodings; but we can follow the lead of plpython, which is already assuming that no-break space (U+00A0) has an equivalent in all encodings we care about running the regression tests in (cf commit 2dfa15de5). Back-patch to 9.1. The code is quite different in 9.0, and anyway it seems too risky to put something like this into 9.0's final minor release.

* Fix poor errno handling in libpq's version of our custom OpenSSL BIO.Tom Lane2015-09-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Thom Brown reported that SSL connections didn't seem to work on Windows in 9.5. Asif Naeem figured out that the cause was my_sock_read() looking at "errno" when it needs to look at "SOCK_ERRNO". This mistake was introduced in commit 680513ab79c7e12e402a2aad7921b95a25a4bcc8, which cloned the backend's custom SSL BIO code into libpq, and didn't translate the errno handling properly. Moreover, it introduced unnecessary errno save/restore logic, which was particularly confusing because it was incomplete; and it failed to check for all three of EINTR, EAGAIN, and EWOULDBLOCK in my_sock_write. (That might not be necessary; but since we're copying well-tested backend code that does do that, it seems prudent to copy it faithfully.)
* Ensure a few policies remain for pg_upgradeStephen Frost2015-09-28
| | | | | | | | To make sure that pg_dump/pg_restore function properly with RLS policies, arrange to have a few of them left around at the end of the regression tests. Back-patch to 9.5 where RLS was added.
* Fix ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE for tables with oids.Andres Freund2015-09-28

* Don't try to create a temp install without abs_top_builddir.Robert Haas2015-09-28

* Remove legacy multixact truncation support.Andres Freund2015-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | In 9.5 and master there is no need to support legacy truncation. This is just committed separately to make it easier to backpatch the WAL logged multixact truncation to 9.3 and 9.4 if we later decide to do so. I bumped master's magic from 0xD086 to 0xD088 and 9.5's from 0xD085 to 0xD087 to avoid 9.5 reusing a value that has been in use on master while keeping the numbers increasing between major versions.

* Rework the way multixact truncations work.Andres Freund2015-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The fact that multixact truncations are not WAL logged has caused a fair share of problems. Amongst others it requires to do computations during recovery while the database is not in a consistent state, delaying truncations till checkpoints, and handling members being truncated, but offset not. We tried to put bandaids on lots of these issues over the last years, but it seems time to change course. Thus this patch introduces WAL logging for multixact truncations. This allows: 1) to perform the truncation directly during VACUUM, instead of delaying it to the checkpoint. 2) to avoid looking at the offsets SLRU for truncation during recovery, we can just use the master's values. 3) simplify a fair amount of logic to keep in memory limits straight, this has gotten much easier During the course of fixing this a bunch of additional bugs had to be fixed: 1) Data was not purged from memory the member's SLRU before deleting segments. This happened to be hard or impossible to hit due to the interlock between checkpoints and truncation. 2) find_multixact_start() relied on SimpleLruDoesPhysicalPageExist - but that doesn't work for offsets that haven't yet been flushed to disk. Add code to flush the SLRUs to fix. Not pretty, but it feels slightly safer to only make decisions based on actual on-disk state. 3) find_multixact_start() could be called concurrently with a truncation and thus fail. Via SetOffsetVacuumLimit() that could lead to a round of emergency vacuuming. The problem remains in pg_get_multixact_members(), but that's quite harmless. For now this is going to only get applied to 9.5+, leaving the issues in the older branches in place. It is quite possible that we need to backpatch at a later point though. For the case this gets backpatched we need to handle that an updated standby may be replaying WAL from a not-yet upgraded primary. We have to recognize that situation and use "old style" truncation (i.e. looking at the SLRUs) during WAL replay. In contrast to before, this now happens in the startup process, when replaying a checkpoint record, instead of the checkpointer. Doing truncation in the restartpoint is incorrect, they can happen much later than the original checkpoint, thereby leading to wraparound. To avoid "multixact_redo: unknown op code 48" errors standbys would have to be upgraded before primaries. A later patch will bump the WAL page magic, and remove the legacy truncation codepaths. Legacy truncation support is just included to make a possible future backpatch easier.

* Second try at fixing O(N^2) problem in foreign key references.Tom Lane2015-09-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This replaces ill-fated commit 5ddc72887a012f6a8b85707ef27d85c274faf53d, which was reverted because it broke active uses of FK cache entries. In this patch, we still do nothing more to invalidatable cache entries than mark them as needing revalidation, so we won't break active uses. To keep down the overhead of InvalidateConstraintCacheCallBack(), keep a list of just the currently-valid cache entries. (The entries are large enough that some added space for list links doesn't seem like a big problem.) This would still be O(N^2) when there are many valid entries, though, so when the list gets too long, just force the "sinval reset" behavior to remove everything from the list. I set the threshold at 1000 entries, somewhat arbitrarily. Possibly that could be fine-tuned later. Another item for future study is whether it's worth adding reference counting so that we could safely remove invalidated entries. As-is, problem cases are likely to end up with large and mostly invalid FK caches. Like the previous attempt, backpatch to 9.3. Jan Wieck and Tom Lane
* Further fix for psql's code for locale-aware formatting of numeric output.Tom Lane2015-09-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | (Third time's the charm, I hope.) Additional testing disclosed that this code could mangle already-localized output from the "money" datatype. We can't very easily skip applying it to "money" values, because the logic is tied to column right-justification and people expect "money" output to be right-justified. Short of decoupling that, we can fix it in what should be a safe enough way by testing to make sure the string doesn't contain any characters that would not be expected in plain numeric output.
* Further fix for psql's code for locale-aware formatting of numeric output.Tom Lane2015-09-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On closer inspection, those seemingly redundant atoi() calls were not so much inefficient as just plain wrong: the author of this code either had not read, or had not understood, the POSIX specification for localeconv(). The grouping field is *not* a textual digit string but separate integers encoded as chars. We'll follow the existing code as well as the backend's cash.c in only honoring the first group width, but let's at least honor it correctly. This doesn't actually result in any behavioral change in any of the locales I have installed on my Linux box, which may explain why nobody's complained; grouping width 3 is close enough to universal that it's barely worth considering other cases. Still, wrong is wrong, so back-patch.
* Fix psql's code for locale-aware formatting of numeric output.Tom Lane2015-09-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This code did the wrong thing entirely for numbers with an exponent but no decimal point (e.g., '1e6'), as reported by Jeff Janes in bug #13636. More generally, it made lots of unverified assumptions about what the input string could possibly look like. Rearrange so that it only fools with leading digits that it's directly verified are there, and an immediately adjacent decimal point. While at it, get rid of some useless inefficiencies, like converting the grouping count string to integer over and over (and over). This has been broken for a long time, so back-patch to all supported branches.
* Allow planner to use expression-index stats for function calls in WHERE.Tom Lane2015-09-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, a function call appearing at the top level of WHERE had a hard-wired selectivity estimate of 0.3333333, a kludge conveniently dated in the source code itself to July 1992. The expectation at the time was that somebody would soon implement estimator support functions analogous to those for operators; but no such code has appeared, nor does it seem likely to in the near future. We do have an alternative solution though, at least for immutable functions on single relations: creating an expression index on the function call will allow ANALYZE to gather stats about the function's selectivity. But the code in clause_selectivity() failed to make use of such data even if it exists. Refactor so that that will happen. I chose to make it try this technique for any clause type for which clause_selectivity() doesn't have a special case, not just functions. To avoid adding unnecessary overhead in the common case where we don't learn anything new, make selfuncs.c provide an API that hooks directly to examine_variable() and then var_eq_const(), rather than the previous coding which laboriously constructed an OpExpr only so that it could be expensively deconstructed again. I preserved the behavior that the default estimate for a function call is 0.3333333. (For any other expression node type, it's 0.5, as before.) I had originally thought to make the default be 0.5 across the board, but changing a default estimate that's survived for twenty-three years seems like something not to do without a lot more testing than I care to put into it right now. Per a complaint from Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais. Back-patch into 9.5, but not further, at least for the moment.
* Make pg_controldata report newest XID with valid commit timestampFujii Masao2015-09-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously pg_controldata didn't report newestCommitTs and this was an oversight in commit 73c986a. Also this patch changes pg_resetxlog so that it uses the same sentences as pg_controldata does, regarding oldestCommitTs and newestCommitTs, for the sake of consistency. Back-patch to 9.5 where track_commit_timestamp was added. Euler Taveira
* Lower *_freeze_max_age minimum values.Andres Freund2015-09-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The old minimum values are rather large, making it time consuming to test related behaviour. Additionally the current limits, especially for multixacts, can be problematic in space-constrained systems. 10000000 multixacts can contain a lot of members. Since there's no good reason for the current limits, lower them a good bit. Setting them to 0 would be a bad idea, triggering endless vacuums, so still retain a limit. While at it fix autovacuum_multixact_freeze_max_age to refer to multixact.c instead of varsup.c.

* Make ANALYZE compute basic statistics even for types with no "=" operator.Tom Lane2015-09-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, ANALYZE simply ignored columns of datatypes that have neither a btree nor hash opclass (which means they have no recognized equality operator). Without a notion of equality, we can't identify most-common values nor estimate the number of distinct values. But we can still count nulls and compute the average physical column width, and those stats might be of value. Moreover there are some tools out there that don't work so well if rows are missing from pg_statistic. So let's add suitable logic for this case. While this is arguably a bug fix, it also has the potential to change query plans, and the gain seems not worth taking a risk of that in stable branches. So back-patch into 9.5 but not further. Oleksandr Shulgin, rewritten a bit by me.

* Fix possible internal overflow in numeric multiplication.Tom Lane2015-09-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | mul_var() postpones propagating carries until it risks overflow in its internal digit array. However, the logic failed to account for the possibility of overflow in the carry propagation step, allowing wrong results to be generated in corner cases. We must slightly reduce the when-to-propagate-carries threshold to avoid that. Discovered and fixed by Dean Rasheed, with small adjustments by me. This has been wrong since commit d72f6c75038d8d37e64a29a04b911f728044d83b, so back-patch to all supported branches.
* Remove the SECURITY_ROW_LEVEL_DISABLED security context bit.Noah Misch2015-09-20
| | | | | | | | | | This commit's parent made superfluous the bit's sole usage. Referential integrity checks have long run as the subject table's owner, and that now implies RLS bypass. Safe use of the bit was tricky, requiring strict control over the SQL expressions evaluating therein. Back-patch to 9.5, where the bit was introduced. Based on a patch by Stephen Frost.
* Remove the row_security=force GUC value.Noah Misch2015-09-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Every query of a single ENABLE ROW SECURITY table has two meanings, with the row_security GUC selecting between them. With row_security=force available, every function author would have been advised to either set the GUC locally or test both meanings. Non-compliance would have threatened reliability and, for SECURITY DEFINER functions, security. Authors already face an obligation to account for search_path, and we should not mimic that example. With this change, only BYPASSRLS roles need exercise the aforementioned care. Back-patch to 9.5, where the row_security GUC was introduced. Since this narrows the domain of pg_db_role_setting.setconfig and pg_proc.proconfig, one might bump catversion. A row_security=force setting in one of those columns will elicit a clear message, so don't.

I had evidently meant to cope with this hazard when the code was originally written (commit 1785acebf2ed14fd66955e2d9a55d77a025f418d), but missed that the pfree needed to be protected with an if-test. Just to make sure things are left in a clean state, reset numLockOwners as well. Per low-memory testing by Andreas Seltenreich. Back-patch to all supported branches.

There is plenty more work to do in making these more efficient, especially the jsonb functions, but this is a virtually cost free improvement that can be done right away. Backpatch to 9.5 where the jsonb variants were introduced.
* Fix low-probability memory leak in regex execution.Tom Lane2015-09-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After an internal failure in shortest() or longest() while pinning down the exact location of a match, find() forgot to free the DFA structure before returning. This is pretty unlikely to occur, since we just successfully ran the "search" variant of the DFA; but it could happen, and it would result in a session-lifespan memory leak since this code uses malloc() directly. Problem seems to have been aboriginal in Spencer's library, so back-patch all the way. In passing, correct a thinko in a comment I added awhile back about the meaning of the "ntree" field. I happened across these issues while comparing our code to Tcl's version of the library.

* RLS refactoringStephen Frost2015-09-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This refactors rewrite/rowsecurity.c to simplify the handling of the default deny case (reducing the number of places where we check for and add the default deny policy from three to one) by splitting up the retrival of the policies from the application of them. This also allowed us to do away with the policy_id field. A policy_name field was added for WithCheckOption policies and is used in error reporting, when available. Patch by Dean Rasheed, with various mostly cosmetic changes by me. Back-patch to 9.5 where RLS was introduced to avoid unnecessary differences, since we're still in alpha, per discussion with Robert.
