* Tolerate ENOSYS failure from sync_file_range().Thomas Munro2019-02-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | One unintended consequence of commit 9ccdd7f6 was that Windows WSL users started getting a panic whenever we tried to initiate data flushing with sync_file_range(), because WSL does not implement that system call. Previously, they got a stream of periodic warnings, which was also undesirable but at least ignorable. Prevent the panic by handling ENOSYS specially and skipping the panic promotion with data_sync_elevel(). Also suppress future attempts after the first such failure so that the pre-existing problem of noisy warnings is improved. Back-patch to 9.6 (older branches were not affected in this way by 9ccdd7f6).

* Fix plan created for inherited UPDATE/DELETE with all tables excluded.Tom Lane2019-02-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the case where inheritance_planner() finds that every table has been excluded by constraints, it thought it could get away with making a plan consisting of just a dummy Result node. While certainly there's no updating or deleting to be done, this had two user-visible problems: the plan did not report the correct set of output columns when a RETURNING clause was present, and if there were any statement-level triggers that should be fired, it didn't fire them. Hence, rather than only generating the dummy Result, we need to stick a valid ModifyTable node on top, which requires a tad more effort here. It's been broken this way for as long as inheritance_planner() has known about deleting excluded subplans at all (cf commit 635d42e9c), so back-patch to all supported branches.

* Speed up match_eclasses_to_foreign_key_col() when there are many ECs.Tom Lane2019-02-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Check ec_relids before bothering to iterate through the EC members. On a perhaps extreme, but still real-world, query in which match_eclasses_to_foreign_key_col() accounts for the bulk of the planner's runtime, this saves nearly 40% of the runtime. It's a bit of a stopgap fix, but it's simple enough to be back-patched to 9.6 where this code came in; so let's do that. David Rowley Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/6970.1545327857@sss.pgh.pa.us

* Fix DEFAULT-handling in multi-row VALUES lists for updatable views.Dean Rasheed2019-02-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | INSERT ... VALUES for a single VALUES row is implemented differently from a multi-row VALUES list, which causes inconsistent behaviour in the way that DEFAULT items are handled. In particular, when inserting into an auto-updatable view on top of a table with a column default, a DEFAULT item in a single VALUES row gets correctly replaced with the table column's default, but for a multi-row VALUES list it is replaced with NULL. Fix this by allowing rewriteValuesRTE() to leave DEFAULT items in the VALUES list untouched if the target relation is an auto-updatable view and has no column default, deferring DEFAULT-expansion until the query against the base relation is rewritten. For all other types of target relation, including tables and trigger- and rule-updatable views, we must continue to replace DEFAULT items with NULL in the absence of a column default. This is somewhat complicated by the fact that if an auto-updatable view has DO ALSO rules attached, the VALUES lists for the product queries need to be handled differently from the original query, since the product queries need to act like rule-updatable views whereas the original query has auto-updatable view semantics. Back-patch to all supported versions. Reported by Roger Curley (bug #15623). Patch by Amit Langote and me. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/15623-5d67a46788ec8b7f@postgresql.org

Such a segment cannot possibly be the one we are looking for, even if its handle matches. Another slot might hold a recently created segment that has the same handle value by coincidence, and we need to keep searching for that one.

* Fix CREATE VIEW to allow zero-column views.Tom Lane2019-02-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We should logically have allowed this case when we allowed zero-column tables, but it was overlooked. Although this might be thought a feature addition, it's really a bug fix, because it was possible to create a zero-column view via the convert-table-to-view code path, and then you'd have a situation where dump/reload would fail. Hence, back-patch to all supported branches. Arrange the added test cases to provide coverage of the related pg_dump code paths (since these views will be dumped and reloaded during the pg_upgrade regression test). I also made them test the case where pg_dump has to postpone the view rule into post-data, which disturbingly had no regression coverage before.

* Fix race in dsm_attach() when handles are reused.Thomas Munro2019-02-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | DSM handle values can be reused as soon as the underlying shared memory object has been destroyed. That means that for a brief moment we might have two DSM slots with the same handle. While trying to attach, if we encounter a slot with refcnt == 1, meaning that it is currently being destroyed, we should continue our search in case the same handle exists in another slot. The race manifested as a rare "dsa_area could not attach to segment" error, and was more likely in 10 and 11 due to the lack of distinct seed for random() in parallel workers. It was made very unlikely in in master by commit 197e4af9, and older releases don't usually create new DSM segments in background workers so it was also unlikely there. This fixes the root cause of bug report #15585, in which the error could also sometimes result in a self-deadlock in the error path. It's not yet clear if further changes are needed to avoid that failure mode. Back-patch to 9.4, where dsm.c arrived.

I'm not sure whether those reports are actually giving the wrong filename, because there are two places here with identically spelled error messages. The other one is specifically coded not to report ENOENT, but if it's this one, how could we be getting ENOENT from open() with O_CREAT? Need to sit back and await results.

* Solve cross-version-upgrade testing problem induced by 1fb57af92.Tom Lane2019-02-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Renaming varchar_transform to varchar_support had a side effect I hadn't foreseen: the core regression tests leave around a transform object that relies on that function, so the name change breaks cross-version upgrade tests, because the name used in the older branches doesn't match. Since the dependency on varchar_transform was chosen with the aid of a dartboard anyway (it would surely not work as a language transform support function), fix by just choosing a different random builtin function with the right signature. Also add some comments explaining why this isn't horribly unsafe. I chose to make the same substitution in a couple of other copied-and-pasted test cases, for consistency, though those aren't directly contributing to the testing problem. Per buildfarm. Back-patch, else it doesn't fix the problem.
* Repair unsafe/unportable snprintf usage in pg_restore.Tom Lane2019-02-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | warn_or_exit_horribly() was blithely passing a potentially-NULL string pointer to a %s format specifier. That works (at least to the extent of not crashing) on some platforms, but not all, and since we switched to our own snprintf.c it doesn't work for us anywhere. Of the three string fields being handled this way here, I think that only "owner" is supposed to be nullable ... but considering that this is error-reporting code, it has very little business assuming anything, so put in defenses for all three. Per a crash observed on buildfarm member crake and then reproduced here. Because of the portability aspect, back-patch to all supported versions.
* Call set_rel_pathlist_hook before generate_gather_paths, not after.Tom Lane2019-02-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The previous ordering of these steps satisfied the nominal requirement that set_rel_pathlist_hook could editorialize on the whole set of Paths constructed for a base relation. In practice, though, trying to change the set of partial paths was impossible. Adding one didn't work because (a) it was too late to be included in Gather paths made by the core code, and (b) calling add_partial_path after generate_gather_paths is unsafe, because it might try to delete a path it thinks is dominated, but that is already embedded in some Gather path(s). Nor could the hook safely remove partial paths, for the same reason that they might already be embedded in Gathers. Better to call extensions first, let them add partial paths as desired, and then gather. In v11 and up, we already doubled down on that ordering by postponing gathering even further for single-relation queries; so even if the hook wished to editorialize on Gather path construction, it could not. Report and patch by KaiGai Kohei. Back-patch to 9.6 where Gather paths were added. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAOP8fzahwpKJRTVVTqo2AE=mDTz_efVzV6Get_0=U3SO+-ha1A@mail.gmail.com

* Ensure that foreign scans with lateral refs are planned correctly.Tom Lane2019-02-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As reported in bug #15613 from Srinivasan S A, file_fdw and postgres_fdw neglected to mark plain baserel foreign paths as parameterized when the relation has lateral_relids. Other FDWs have surely copied this mistake, so rather than just patching those two modules, install a band-aid fix in create_foreignscan_path to rectify the mistake centrally. Although the band-aid is enough to fix the visible symptom, correct the calls in file_fdw and postgres_fdw anyway, so that they are valid examples for external FDWs. Also, since the band-aid isn't enough to make this work for parameterized foreign joins, throw an elog(ERROR) if such a case is passed to create_foreignscan_path. This shouldn't pose much of a problem for existing external FDWs, since it's likely they aren't trying to make such paths anyway (though some of them may need a defense against joins with lateral_relids, similar to the one this patch installs into postgres_fdw). Add some assertions in relnode.c to catch future occurrences of the same error --- in particular, as backstop against core-code mistakes like the one fixed by commit bdd9a99aa.

* Propagate lateral-reference information to indirect descendant relations.Tom Lane2019-02-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | create_lateral_join_info() computes a bunch of information about lateral references between base relations, and then attempts to propagate those markings to appendrel children of the original base relations. But the original coding neglected the possibility of indirect descendants (grandchildren etc). During v11 development we noticed that this was wrong for partitioned-table cases, but failed to realize that it was just as wrong for any appendrel. While the case can't arise for appendrels derived from traditional table inheritance (because we make a flat appendrel for that), nested appendrels can arise from nested UNION ALL subqueries. Failure to mark the lower-level relations as having lateral references leads to confusion in add_paths_to_append_rel about whether unparameterized paths can be built. It's not very clear whether that leads to any user-visible misbehavior; the lack of field reports suggests that it may cause nothing worse than minor cost misestimation. Still, it's a bug, and it leads to failures of Asserts that I intend to add later. To fix, we need to propagate information from all appendrel parents, not just those that are RELOPT_BASERELs. We can still do it in one pass, if we rely on the append_rel_list to be ordered with ancestor relationships before descendant ones; add assertions checking that. While fixing this, we can make a small performance improvement by traversing the append_rel_list just once instead of separately for each appendrel parent relation. Noted while investigating bug #15613, though this patch does not fix that (which is why I'm not committing the related Asserts yet). Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/3951.1549403812@sss.pgh.pa.us

* Fix dumping of matviews with indirect dependencies on primary keys.Tom Lane2019-02-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 62215de29 turns out to have been not quite on-the-mark. When we are forced to postpone dumping of a materialized view into the dump's post-data section (because it depends on a unique index that isn't created till that section), we may also have to postpone dumping other matviews that depend on said matview. The previous fix didn't reliably work for such cases: it'd break the dependency loops properly, producing a workable object ordering, but it didn't necessarily mark all the matviews as "postponed_def". This led to harmless bleating about "archive items not in correct section order", as reported by Tom Cassidy in bug #15602. Less harmlessly, selective-restore options such as --section might misbehave due to the matview dump objects not being properly labeled. The right way to fix it is to consider that each pre-data dependency we break amounts to moving the no-longer-dependent object into post-data, and hence we should mark that object if it's a matview. Back-patch to all supported versions, since the issue's been there since matviews were introduced. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/15602-e895445f73dc450b@postgresql.org

* Fix a crash in logical replicationPeter Eisentraut2019-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The bug was that determining which columns are part of the replica identity index using RelationGetIndexAttrBitmap() would run eval_const_expressions() on index expressions and predicates across all indexes of the table, which in turn might require a snapshot, but there wasn't one set, so it crashes. There were actually two separate bugs, one on the publisher and one on the subscriber. To trigger the bug, a table that is part of a publication or subscription needs to have an index with a predicate or expression that lends itself to constant expressions simplification. The fix is to avoid the constant expressions simplification in RelationGetIndexAttrBitmap(), so that it becomes safe to call in these contexts. The constant expressions simplification comes from the calls to RelationGetIndexExpressions()/RelationGetIndexPredicate() via BuildIndexInfo(). But RelationGetIndexAttrBitmap() calling BuildIndexInfo() is overkill. The latter just takes pg_index catalog information, packs it into the IndexInfo structure, which former then just unpacks again and throws away. We can just do this directly with less overhead and skip the troublesome calls to eval_const_expressions(). This also removes the awkward cross-dependency between relcache.c and index.c.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A report from Andrew Dunstan showed that an ecpglib breakage that causes repeated query failures could lead to infinite loops in some ecpg test scripts, because they contain "while(1)" loops with no exit condition other than successful test completion. That might be all right for manual testing, but it seems entirely unacceptable for automated test environments such as our buildfarm. We don't want buildfarm owners to have to intervene manually when a test goes wrong. To fix, just change all those while(1) loops to exit after at most 100 iterations (which is more than any of them expect to iterate). This seems sufficient since we'd see discrepancies in the test output if any loop executed the wrong number of times. I tested this by dint of intentionally breaking ecpg_do_prologue to always fail, and verifying that the tests still got to completion. Back-patch to all supported branches, since the whole point of this exercise is to protect the buildfarm against future mistakes. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/18693.1548302004@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Blind attempt to fix _configthreadlocale() failures on MinGW.Tom Lane2019-01-23
| | | | | | | | | | Apparently, some builds of MinGW contain a version of _configthreadlocale() that always returns -1, indicating failure. Rather than treating that as a curl-up-and-die condition, soldier on as though the function didn't exist. This leaves us without thread safety on such MinGW versions, but we didn't have it anyway.

* Avoid thread-safety problem in ecpglib.Tom Lane2019-01-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ecpglib attempts to force the LC_NUMERIC locale to "C" while reading server output, to avoid problems with strtod() and related functions. Historically it's just issued setlocale() calls to do that, but that has major problems if we're in a threaded application. setlocale() itself is not required by POSIX to be thread-safe (and indeed is not, on recent OpenBSD). Moreover, its effects are process-wide, so that we could cause unexpected results in other threads, or another thread could change our setting. On platforms having uselocale(), which is required by POSIX:2008, we can avoid these problems by using uselocale() instead. Windows goes its own way as usual, but we can make it safe by using _configthreadlocale(). Platforms having neither continue to use the old code, but that should be pretty much nobody among current systems. (Subsequent buildfarm results show that recent NetBSD versions still lack uselocale(), but it's not a big problem because they also do not support non-"C" settings for LC_NUMERIC.)

* Flush relcache entries when their FKs are meddled withAlvaro Herrera2019-01-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Back in commit 100340e2dcd0, we made relcache entries keep lists of the foreign keys applying to the relation -- but we forgot to update CacheInvalidateHeapTuple to flush those entries when new FKs got created or existing ones updated/deleted. No bugs appear to have been reported that would be explained by this ommission, but I noticed the problem while working on an unrelated bugfix which clearly showed it. Fix by adding relcache flush on relevant foreign key changes. Backpatch to 9.6, like the aforementioned commit.

* Revert "Add valgrind suppressions for wcsrtombs optimizations"Tomas Vondra2019-01-19
| | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit 5b16a353543ecec36ffda68269defb7b1b002f60. Per discussion, it's not desirable to add valgrind suppressions for outside our own code base (e.g. glibc in this case), especially when the suppressions may be platform-specific. There are better ways to deal with that, e.g. by providing local suppressions. Discussion: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/90ac0452-e907-e7a4-b3c8-15bd33780e62%402ndquadrant.com

* Use our own getopt() on OpenBSD.Tom Lane2019-01-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Recent OpenBSD (at least 5.9 and up) has a version of getopt(3) that will not cope with the "-:" spec we use to accept double-dash options in postgres.c and postmaster.c. Admittedly, that's a hack because POSIX only requires getopt() to allow alphanumeric option characters. I have no desire to find another way, however, so let's just do what we were already doing on Solaris: force use of our own src/port/getopt.c implementation. In passing, improve some of the comments around said implementation. Per buildfarm and local testing. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* Enforce non-parallel plan when calling current_schema() in newly-added testMichael Paquier2019-01-18
| | | | | | | | | | current_schema() gets called in the recently-added regression test from c5660e0, and can be used in a parallel context, causing its call to fail when creating a temporary schema.

* Restrict the use of temporary namespace in two-phase transactionsMichael Paquier2019-01-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Attempting to use a temporary table within a two-phase transaction is forbidden for ages. However, there have been uncovered grounds for a couple of other object types and commands which work on temporary objects with two-phase commit. In short, trying to create, lock or drop an object on a temporary schema should not be authorized within a two-phase transaction, as it would cause its state to create dependencies with other sessions, causing all sorts of side effects with the existing session or other sessions spawned later on trying to use the same temporary schema name. Regression tests are added to cover all the grounds found, the original report mentioned function creation, but monitoring closer there are many other patterns with LOCK, DROP or CREATE EXTENSION which are involved. One of the symptoms resulting in combining both is that the session which used the temporary schema is not able to shut down completely, waiting for being able to drop the temporary schema, something that it cannot complete because of the two-phase transaction involved with temporary objects. In this case the client is able to disconnect but the session remains alive on the backend-side, potentially blocking connection backend slots from being used. Other problems reported could also involve server crashes. This is back-patched down to v10, which is where 9b013dc has introduced MyXactFlags, something that this patch relies on.
