* Fix fsync-at-startup code to not treat errors as fatal.Tom Lane2015-05-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 2ce439f3379aed857517c8ce207485655000fc8e introduced a rather serious regression, namely that if its scan of the data directory came across any un-fsync-able files, it would fail and thereby prevent database startup. Worse yet, symlinks to such files also caused the problem, which meant that crash restart was guaranteed to fail on certain common installations such as older Debian. After discussion, we agreed that (1) failure to start is worse than any consequence of not fsync'ing is likely to be, therefore treat all errors in this code as nonfatal; (2) we should not chase symlinks other than those that are expected to exist, namely pg_xlog/ and tablespace links under pg_tblspc/. The latter restriction avoids possibly fsync'ing a much larger part of the filesystem than intended, if the user has left random symlinks hanging about in the data directory. This commit takes care of that and also does some code beautification, mainly moving the relevant code into fd.c, which seems a much better place for it than xlog.c, and making sure that the conditional compilation for the pre_sync_fname pass has something to do with whether pg_flush_data works. I also relocated the call site in xlog.c down a few lines; it seems a bit silly to be doing this before ValidateXLOGDirectoryStructure(). The similar logic in initdb.c ought to be made to match this, but that change is noncritical and will be dealt with separately. Back-patch to all active branches, like the prior commit.

* Fix pg_get_functiondef() to print a function's LEAKPROOF property.Tom Lane2015-05-28
| | | | | | | Seems to have been an oversight in the original leakproofness patch. Per report and patch from Jeevan Chalke. In passing, prettify some awkward leakproof-related code in AlterFunction.
* Fix portability issue in isolationtester grammar.Tom Lane2015-05-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | specparse.y and specscanner.l used "string" as a token name. Now, bison likes to define each token name as a macro for the token code it assigns, which means those names are basically off-limits for any other use within the grammar file or included headers. So names as generic as "string" are dangerous. This is what was causing the recent failures on protosciurus: some versions of Solaris' sys/kstat.h use "string" as a field name. With late-model bison we don't see this problem because the token macros aren't defined till later (that is why castoroides didn't show the problem even though it's on the same machine). But protosciurus uses bison 1.875 which defines the token macros up front. This land mine has been there from day one; we'd have found it sooner except that protosciurus wasn't trying to run the isolation tests till recently. To fix, rename the token to "string_literal" which is hopefully less likely to collide with names used by system headers. Back-patch to all branches containing the isolation tests.
* Revert "Add all structured objects passed to pushJsonbValue piecewise."Andrew Dunstan2015-05-26
| | | | | | | This reverts commit 54547bd87f49326d67051254c363e6597d16ffda. This appears to have been a thinko on my part. I will try to come up wioth a better solution.
* Add all structured objects passed to pushJsonbValue piecewise.Andrew Dunstan2015-05-26
| | | | | | | | | | Commit 9b74f32cdbff8b9be47fc69164eae552050509ff did this for objects of type jbvBinary, but in trying further to simplify some of the new jsonb code I discovered that objects of type jbvObject or jbvArray passed as WJB_ELEM or WJB_VALUE also caused problems. These too are now added component by component. Backpatch to 9.4.
* Update README.tuplockAlvaro Herrera2015-05-25
| | | | | | | | | | | Multixact truncation is now handled differently, and this file hadn't gotten the memo. Per note from Amit Langote. I didn't use his patch, though. Also update the description of infomask bits, which weren't completely up to date either. This commit also propagates b01a4f6838 back to 9.3 and 9.4, which apparently I failed to do back then.
* Rename pg_shdepend.c's typedef "objectType" to SharedDependencyObjectType.Tom Lane2015-05-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | The name objectType is widely used as a field name, and it's pure luck that this conflict has not caused pgindent to go crazy before. It messed up pg_audit.c pretty good though. Since pg_shdepend.c doesn't export this typedef and only uses it in three places, changing that seems saner than changing the field usages. Back-patch because we're contemplating using the union of all branch typedefs for future pgindent runs, so this won't fix anything if it stays the same in back branches.
* Unpack jbvBinary objects passed to pushJsonbValueAndrew Dunstan2015-05-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | pushJsonbValue was accepting jbvBinary objects passed as WJB_ELEM or WJB_VALUE data. While this succeeded, when those objects were later encountered in attempting to convert the result to Jsonb, errors occurred. With this change we ghuarantee that a JSonbValue constructed from calls to pushJsonbValue does not contain any jbvBinary objects. This cures a problem observed with jsonb_delete. This means callers of pushJsonbValue no longer need to perform this unpacking themselves. A subsequent patch will perform some cleanup in that area. The error was not triggered by any 9.4 code, but this is a publicly visible routine, and so the error could be exercised by third party code, therefore backpatch to 9.4. Bug report from Peter Geoghegan, fix by me.

* Revert error-throwing wrappers for the printf family of functions.Tom Lane2015-05-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit 16304a013432931e61e623c8d85e9fe24709d9ba, except for its changes in src/port/snprintf.c; as well as commit cac18a76bb6b08f1ecc2a85e46c9d2ab82dd9d23 which is no longer needed. Fujii Masao reported that the previous commit caused failures in psql on OS X, since if one exits the pager program early while viewing a query result, psql sees an EPIPE error from fprintf --- and the wrapper function thought that was reason to panic. (It's a bit surprising that the same does not happen on Linux.) Further discussion among the security list concluded that the risk of other such failures was far too great, and that the one-size-fits-all approach to error handling embodied in the previous patch is unlikely to be workable. This leaves us again exposed to the possibility of the type of failure envisioned in CVE-2015-3166. However, that failure mode is strictly hypothetical at this point: there is no concrete reason to believe that an attacker could trigger information disclosure through the supposed mechanism. In the first place, the attack surface is fairly limited, since so much of what the backend does with format strings goes through stringinfo.c or psprintf(), and those already had adequate defenses. In the second place, even granting that an unprivileged attacker could control the occurrence of ENOMEM with some precision, it's a stretch to believe that he could induce it just where the target buffer contains some valuable information. So we concluded that the risk of non-hypothetical problems induced by the patch greatly outweighs the security risks. We will therefore revert, and instead undertake closer analysis to identify specific calls that may need hardening, rather than attempt a universal solution. We have kept the portion of the previous patch that improved snprintf.c's handling of errors when it calls the platform's sprintf(). That seems to be an unalloyed improvement. Security: CVE-2015-3166
* Fix off-by-one error in Assertion.Heikki Linnakangas2015-05-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | The point of the assertion is to ensure that the arrays allocated in stack are large enough, but the check was one item short. This won't matter in practice because MaxIndexTuplesPerPage is an overestimate, so you can't have that many items on a page in reality. But let's be tidy. Spotted by Anastasia Lubennikova. Backpatch to all supported versions, like the patch that added the assertion.

* Check return values of sensitive system library calls.Noah Misch2015-05-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | PostgreSQL already checked the vast majority of these, missing this handful that nearly cannot fail. If putenv() failed with ENOMEM in pg_GSS_recvauth(), authentication would proceed with the wrong keytab file. If strftime() returned zero in cache_locale_time(), using the unspecified buffer contents could lead to information exposure or a crash. Back-patch to 9.0 (all supported versions). Other unchecked calls to these functions, especially those in frontend code, pose negligible security concern. This patch does not address them. Nonetheless, it is always better to check return values whose specification provides for indicating an error. In passing, fix an off-by-one error in strftime_win32()'s invocation of WideCharToMultiByte(). Upon retrieving a value of exactly MAX_L10N_DATA bytes, strftime_win32() would overrun the caller's buffer by one byte. MAX_L10N_DATA is chosen to exceed the length of every possible value, so the vulnerable scenario probably does not arise. Security: CVE-2015-3166
* Add error-throwing wrappers for the printf family of functions.Noah Misch2015-05-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | All known standard library implementations of these functions can fail with ENOMEM. A caller neglecting to check for failure would experience missing output, information exposure, or a crash. Check return values within wrappers and code, currently just snprintf.c, that bypasses the wrappers. The wrappers do not return after an error, so their callers need not check. Back-patch to 9.0 (all supported versions). Popular free software standard library implementations do take pains to bypass malloc() in simple cases, but they risk ENOMEM for floating point numbers, positional arguments, large field widths, and large precisions. No specification demands such caution, so this commit regards every call to a printf family function as a potential threat. Injecting the wrappers implicitly is a compromise between patch scope and design goals. I would prefer to edit each call site to name a wrapper explicitly. libpq and the ECPG libraries would, ideally, convey errors to the caller rather than abort(). All that would be painfully invasive for a back-patched security fix, hence this compromise. Security: CVE-2015-3166

* Prevent a double free by not reentering be_tls_close().Noah Misch2015-05-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | Reentering this function with the right timing caused a double free, typically crashing the backend. By synchronizing a disconnection with the authentication timeout, an unauthenticated attacker could achieve this somewhat consistently. Call be_tls_close() solely from within proc_exit_prepare(). Back-patch to 9.0 (all supported versions). Benkocs Norbert Attila Security: CVE-2015-3165

* Fix RBM_ZERO_AND_LOCK mode to not acquire lock on local buffers.Heikki Linnakangas2015-05-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 81c45081 introduced a new RBM_ZERO_AND_LOCK mode to ReadBuffer, which takes a lock on the buffer before zeroing it. However, you cannot take a lock on a local buffer, and you got a segfault instead. The version of that patch committed to master included a check for !isLocalBuf, and therefore didn't crash, but oddly I missed that in the back-patched versions. This patch adds that check to the back-branches too. RBM_ZERO_AND_LOCK mode is only used during WAL replay, and in hash indexes. WAL replay only deals with shared buffers, so the only way to trigger the bug is with a temporary hash index. Reported by Artem Ignatyev, analysis by Tom Lane.
* Fix incorrect checking of deferred exclusion constraint after a HOT update.Tom Lane2015-05-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | If a row that potentially violates a deferred exclusion constraint is HOT-updated later in the same transaction, the exclusion constraint would be reported as violated when the check finally occurs, even if the row(s) the new row originally conflicted with have since been removed. This happened because the wrong TID was passed to check_exclusion_constraint(), causing the live HOT-updated row to be seen as a conflicting row rather than recognized as the row-under-test. Per bug #13148 from Evan Martin. It's been broken since exclusion constraints were invented, so back-patch to all supported branches.
* Increase threshold for multixact member emergency autovac to 50%.Robert Haas2015-05-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Analysis by Noah Misch shows that the 25% threshold set by commit 53bb309d2d5a9432d2602c93ed18e58bd2924e15 is lower than any other, similar autovac threshold. While we don't know exactly what value will be optimal for all users, it is better to err a little on the high side than on the low side. A higher value increases the risk that users might exhaust the available space and start seeing errors before autovacuum can clean things up sufficiently, but a user who hits that problem can compensate for it by reducing autovacuum_multixact_freeze_max_age to a value dependent on their average multixact size. On the flip side, if the emergency cap imposed by that patch kicks in too early, the user will experience excessive wraparound scanning and will be unable to mitigate that problem by configuration. The new value will hopefully reduce the risk of such bad experiences while still providing enough headroom to avoid multixact member exhaustion for most users. Along the way, adjust the documentation to reflect the effects of commit 04e6d3b877e060d8445eb653b7ea26b1ee5cec6b, which taught autovacuum to run for multixact wraparound even when autovacuum is configured off.
* Even when autovacuum=off, force it for members as we do in other cases.Robert Haas2015-05-11

* Advance the stop point for multixact offset creation only at checkpoint.Robert Haas2015-05-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit b69bf30b9bfacafc733a9ba77c9587cf54d06c0c advanced the stop point at vacuum time, but this has subsequently been shown to be unsafe as a result of analysis by myself and Thomas Munro and testing by Thomas Munro. The crux of the problem is that the SLRU deletion logic may get confused about what to remove if, at exactly the right time during the checkpoint process, the head of the SLRU crosses what used to be the tail. This patch, by me, fixes the problem by advancing the stop point only following a checkpoint. This has the additional advantage of making the removal logic work during recovery more like the way it works during normal running, which is probably good. At least one of the calls to DetermineSafeOldestOffset which this patch removes was already dead, because MultiXactAdvanceOldest is called only during recovery and DetermineSafeOldestOffset was set up to do nothing during recovery. That, however, is inconsistent with the principle that recovery and normal running should work similarly, and was confusing to boot. Along the way, fix some comments that previous patches in this area neglected to update. It's not clear to me whether there's any concrete basis for the decision to use only half of the multixact ID space, but it's neither necessary nor sufficient to prevent multixact member wraparound, so the comments should not say otherwise.
* Fix DetermineSafeOldestOffset for the case where there are no mxacts.Robert Haas2015-05-10
| | | | | | | | Commit b69bf30b9bfacafc733a9ba77c9587cf54d06c0c failed to take into account the possibility that there might be no multixacts in existence at all. Report by Thomas Munro; patch by me.
* Teach autovacuum about multixact member wraparound.Robert Haas2015-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The logic introduced in commit b69bf30b9bfacafc733a9ba77c9587cf54d06c0c and repaired in commits 669c7d20e6374850593cb430d332e11a3992bbcf and 7be47c56af3d3013955c91c2877c08f2a0e3e6a2 helps to ensure that we don't overwrite old multixact member information while it is still needed, but a user who creates many large multixacts can still exhaust the member space (and thus start getting errors) while autovacuum stands idly by. To fix this, progressively ramp down the effective value (but not the actual contents) of autovacuum_multixact_freeze_max_age as member space utilization increases. This makes autovacuum more aggressive and also reduces the threshold for a manual VACUUM to perform a full-table scan. This patch leaves unsolved the problem of ensuring that emergency autovacuums are triggered even when autovacuum=off. We'll need to fix that via a separate patch. Thomas Munro and Robert Haas
* Fix incorrect math in DetermineSafeOldestOffset.Robert Haas2015-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | The old formula didn't have enough parentheses, so it would do the wrong thing, and it used / rather than % to find a remainder. The effect of these oversights is that the stop point chosen by the logic introduced in commit b69bf30b9bfacafc733a9ba77c9587cf54d06c0c might be rather meaningless. Thomas Munro, reviewed by Kevin Grittner, with a whitespace tweak by me.
* Properly send SCM status updates when shutting down service on WindowsMagnus Hagander2015-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | The Service Control Manager should be notified regularly during a shutdown that takes a long time. Previously we would increaes the counter, but forgot to actually send the notification to the system. The loop counter was also incorrectly initalized in the event that the startup of the system took long enough for it to increase, which could cause the shutdown process not to wait as long as expected. Krystian Bigaj, reviewed by Michael Paquier
* Fix some problems with patch to fsync the data directory.Robert Haas2015-05-05
| | | | | | | | pg_win32_is_junction() was a typo for pgwin32_is_junction(). open() was used not only in a two-argument form, which breaks on Windows, but also where BasicOpenFile() should have been used. Per reports from Andrew Dunstan and David Rowley.
* Recursively fsync() the data directory after a crash.Robert Haas2015-05-04
| | | | | | | | | | | Otherwise, if there's another crash, some writes from after the first crash might make it to disk while writes from before the crash fail to make it to disk. This could lead to data corruption. Back-patch to all supported versions. Abhijit Menon-Sen, reviewed by Andres Freund and slightly revised by me.
* Fix two small bugs in json's populate_record_workerAndrew Dunstan2015-05-04
| | | | | | | | | | The first bug is not releasing a tupdesc when doing an early return out of the function. The second bug is a logic error in choosing when to do an early return if given an empty jsonb object. Bug reports from Pavel Stehule and Tom Lane respectively. Backpatch to 9.4 where these were introduced.
* Fix overlooked relcache invalidation in ALTER TABLE ... ALTER CONSTRAINT.Tom Lane2015-05-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When altering the deferredness state of a foreign key constraint, we correctly updated the catalogs and then invalidated the relcache state for the target relation ... but that's not the only relation with relevant triggers. Must invalidate the other table as well, or the state change fails to take effect promptly for operations triggered on the other table. Per bug #13224 from Christian Ullrich. In passing, reorganize regression test case for this feature so that it isn't randomly injected into the middle of an unrelated test sequence. Oversight in commit f177cbfe676dc2c7ca2b206c54d6bf819feeea8b. Back-patch to 9.4 where the faulty code was added.

* Fix pg_upgrade's multixact handling (again)Alvaro Herrera2015-04-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We need to create the pg_multixact/offsets file deleted by pg_upgrade much earlier than we originally were: it was in TrimMultiXact(), which runs after we exit recovery, but it actually needs to run earlier than the first call to SetMultiXactIdLimit (before recovery), because that routine already wants to read the first offset segment. Per pg_upgrade trouble report from Jeff Janes. While at it, silence a compiler warning about a pointless assert that an unsigned variable was being tested non-negative. This was a signed constant in Thomas Munro's patch which I changed to unsigned before commit. Pointed out by Andres Freund.

* Protect against multixact members wraparoundAlvaro Herrera2015-04-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Multixact member files are subject to early wraparound overflow and removal: if the average multixact size is above a certain threshold (see note below) the protections against offset overflow are not enough: during multixact truncation at checkpoint time, some pg_multixact/members files would be removed because the server considers them to be old and not needed anymore. This leads to loss of files that are critical to interpret existing tuples's Xmax values. To protect against this, since we don't have enough info in pg_control and we can't modify it in old branches, we maintain shared memory state about the oldest value that we need to keep; we use this during new multixact creation to abort if an old still-needed file would get overwritten. This value is kept up to date by checkpoints, which makes it not completely accurate but should be good enough. We start emitting warnings sometime earlier, so that the eventual multixact-shutdown doesn't take DBAs completely by surprise (more precisely: once 20 members SLRU segments are remaining before shutdown.) On troublesome average multixact size: The threshold size depends on the multixact freeze parameters. The oldest age is related to the greater of multixact_freeze_table_age and multixact_freeze_min_age: anything older than that should be removed promptly by autovacuum. If autovacuum is keeping up with multixact freezing, the troublesome multixact average size is (2^32-1) / Max(freeze table age, freeze min age) or around 28 members per multixact. Having an average multixact size larger than that will eventually cause new multixact data to overwrite the data area for older multixacts. (If autovacuum is not able to keep up, or there are errors in vacuuming, the actual maximum is multixact_freeeze_max_age instead, at which point multixact generation is stopped completely. The default value for this limit is 400 million, which means that the multixact size that would cause trouble is about 10 members). Initial bug report by Timothy Garnett, bug #12990 Backpatch to 9.3, where the problem was introduced.

* Use a fd opened for read/write when syncing slots during startup.Andres Freund2015-04-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some operating systems, including the reporter's windows, return EBADFD or similar when fsync() is invoked on a O_RDONLY file descriptor. Unfortunately RestoreSlotFromDisk() does exactly that; which causes failures after restarts in at least some scenarios. If you hit the bug the error message will be something like ERROR: could not fsync file "pg_replslot/$name/state": Bad file descriptor Simply use O_RDWR instead of O_RDONLY when opening the relevant file descriptor to fix the bug. Unfortunately I have no way of verifying the fix, but we've seen similar problems in the past. This bug goes back to 9.4 where slots were introduced. Backpatch accordingly.

* Prevent improper reordering of antijoins vs. outer joins.Tom Lane2015-04-25
| | | | | | | | | | | An outer join appearing within the RHS of an antijoin can't commute with the antijoin, but somehow I missed teaching make_outerjoininfo() about that. In Teodor Sigaev's recent trouble report, this manifests as a "could not find RelOptInfo for given relids" error within eqjoinsel(); but I think silently wrong query results are possible too, if the planner misorders the joins and doesn't happen to trigger any internal consistency checks. It's broken as far back as we had antijoins, so back-patch to all supported branches.
* Build every ECPG library with -DFRONTEND.Noah Misch2015-04-24

But I (tgl) evidently missed updating this comment. Back-patch to 9.2 to avoid unnecessary divergence among branches. Amit Langote
* Fix deadlock at startup, if max_prepared_transactions is too small.Heikki Linnakangas2015-04-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the startup process recovers transactions by scanning pg_twophase directory, it should clear MyLockedGxact after it's done processing each transaction. Like we do during normal operation, at PREPARE TRANSACTION. Otherwise, if the startup process exits due to an error, it will try to clear the locking_backend field of the last recovered transaction. That's usually harmless, but if the error happens in MarkAsPreparing, while holding TwoPhaseStateLock, the shmem-exit hook will try to acquire TwoPhaseStateLock again, and deadlock with itself. This fixes bug #13128 reported by Grant McAlister. The bug was introduced by commit bb38fb0d, so backpatch to all supported versions like that commit.

* Don't archive bogus recycled or preallocated files after timeline switch.Heikki Linnakangas2015-04-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After a timeline switch, we would leave behind recycled WAL segments that are in the future, but on the old timeline. After promotion, and after they become old enough to be recycled again, we would notice that they don't have a .ready or .done file, create a .ready file for them, and archive them. That's bogus, because the files contain garbage, recycled from an older timeline (or prealloced as zeros). We shouldn't archive such files. This could happen when we're following a timeline switch during replay, or when we switch to new timeline at end-of-recovery. To fix, whenever we switch to a new timeline, scan the data directory for WAL segments on the old timeline, but with a higher segment number, and remove them. Those don't belong to our timeline history, and are most likely bogus recycled or preallocated files. They could also be valid files that we streamed from the primary ahead of time, but in any case, they're not needed to recover to the new timeline.

* Fix autovacuum launcher shutdown sequenceAlvaro Herrera2015-04-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It was previously possible to have the launcher re-execute its main loop before shutting down if some other signal was received or an error occurred after getting SIGTERM, as reported by Qingqing Zhou. While investigating, Tom Lane further noticed that if autovacuum had been disabled in the config file, it would misbehave by trying to start a new worker instead of bailing out immediately -- it would consider itself as invoked in emergency mode. Fix both problems by checking the shutdown flag in a few more places. These problems have existed since autovacuum was introduced, so backpatch all the way back.

| | | | | | | While gcc doesn't complain if you declare a function "static" and then define it not-static, other compilers do; and in any case the code is highly misleading this way. Add the missing "static" keywords to a couple of recent patches. Per buildfarm member pademelon.
* Fix incorrect matching of subexpressions in outer-join plan nodes.Tom Lane2015-04-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously we would re-use input subexpressions in all expression trees attached to a Join plan node. However, if it's an outer join and the subexpression appears in the nullable-side input, this is potentially incorrect for apparently-matching subexpressions that came from above the outer join (ie, targetlist and qpqual expressions), because the executor will treat the subexpression value as NULL when maybe it should not be. The case is fairly hard to hit because (a) you need a non-strict subexpression (else NULL is correct), and (b) we don't usually compute expressions in the outputs of non-toplevel plan nodes. But we might do so if the expressions are sort keys for a mergejoin, for example. Probably in the long run we should make a more explicit distinction between Vars appearing above and below an outer join, but that will be a major planner redesign and not at all back-patchable. For the moment, just hack set_join_references so that it will not match any non-Var expressions coming from nullable inputs to expressions that came from above the join. (This is somewhat overkill, in that a strict expression could still be matched, but it doesn't seem worth the effort to check that.) Per report from Qingqing Zhou. The added regression test case is based on his example. This has been broken for a very long time, so back-patch to all active branches.
* Fix TAP tests to use only standard command-line argument ordering.Tom Lane2015-04-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Some of the TAP tests were supposing that PG programs would accept switches after non-switch arguments on their command lines. While GNU getopt_long() does allow that, our own implementation does not, and it's nowhere suggested in our documentation that such cases should work. Adjust the tests to use only the documented syntax. Back-patch to 9.4, since without this the TAP tests fail when run with src/port's getopt_long() implementation. Michael Paquier
