* Fix omission of OCLASS_TRANSFORM in object_classes[]Alvaro Herrera2015-07-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This was forgotten in cac76582053e (and its fixup ad89a5d115). Since it seems way too easy to miss this, this commit also introduces a mechanism to enforce that the array is consistent with the enum. Problem reported independently by Robert Haas and Jaimin Pan. Patches proposed by Jaimin Pan, Jim Nasby, Michael Paquier and myself, though I didn't use any of these and instead went with a cleaner approach suggested by Tom Lane. Backpatch to 9.5. Discussion: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CA+Tgmoa6SgDaxW_n_7SEhwBAc=mniYga+obUj5fmw4rU9_mLvA@mail.gmail.com https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/29788.1437411581@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Sanity-check that a page zeroed by redo routine is marked with WILL_INIT.Heikki Linnakangas2015-07-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There was already a sanity-check in the other direction: if a page was marked with WILL_INIT, it had to be initialized by the redo routine. It's not strictly necessary for correctness that a page is marked with WILL_INIT if it's going to be initialized at redo, but it's a missed optimization if nothing else. Fix a few instances of this issue in SP-GiST, where a block in WAL record was not marked with WILL_INIT, but was in fact always initialized at redo. We were creating a full-page image of the page unnecessarily in those cases. Backpatch to 9.5, where the new WILL_INIT flag was added.
* Don't handle PUBLIC/NONE separatelyAlvaro Herrera2015-07-20
| | | | | | | | | Since those role specifiers are checked in the grammar, there's no need for the old checks to remain in place after 31eae6028ec. Remove them. Backpatch to 9.5. Noted and patch by Jeevan Chalke
* Improve tab-completion for DROP POLICYAlvaro Herrera2015-07-20

* Fix (some of) pltcl memory usageAlvaro Herrera2015-07-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As reported by Bill Parker, PL/Tcl did not validate some malloc() calls against NULL return. Fix by using palloc() in a new long-lived memory context instead. This allows us to simplify error handling too, by simply deleting the memory context instead of doing retail frees. There's still a lot that could be done to improve PL/Tcl's memory handling ... This is pretty ancient, so backpatch all the way back.

* Improve BRIN documentation somewhatAlvaro Herrera2015-07-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | This removes some info about support procedures being used, which was obsoleted by commit db5f98ab4f, as well as add some more documentation on how to create new opclasses using the Minmax infrastructure. (Hopefully we can get something similar for Inclusion as well.) In passing, fix some obsolete mentions of "mmtuples" in source code comments. Backpatch to 9.5, where BRIN was introduced.
* Fix mis-merge in previous commitAlvaro Herrera2015-07-20

* Add some comments to test_ddl_deparse and a READMEAlvaro Herrera2015-07-20
| | | | | | Per comments from Heikki Linnakangas. Backpatch to 9.5, where this module was introduced.
* Handle AT_ReAddComment in test_ddl_deparse, and add a catch-all default.Heikki Linnakangas2015-07-20
| | | | | | | | In the passing, also move AT_ReAddComment to more logical position in the enum, after all the Constraint-related subcommands. This fixes a compiler warning, added by commit e42375fc. Backpatch to 9.5, like that patch.
* Remove dead code.Andrew Dunstan2015-07-19
| | | | Defect noticed by Coverity.
* Make WaitLatchOrSocket's timeout detection more robust.Tom Lane2015-07-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the previous coding, timeout would be noticed and reported only when poll() or socket() returned zero (or the equivalent behavior on Windows). Ordinarily that should work well enough, but it seems conceivable that we could get into a state where poll() always returns a nonzero value --- for example, if it is noticing a condition on one of the file descriptors that we do not think is reason to exit the loop. If that happened, we'd be in a busy-wait loop that would fail to terminate even when the timeout expires. We can make this more robust at essentially no cost, by deciding to exit of our own accord if we compute a zero or negative time-remaining-to-wait. Previously the code noted this but just clamped the time-remaining to zero, expecting that we'd detect timeout on the next loop iteration. Back-patch to 9.2. While 9.1 had a version of WaitLatchOrSocket, it was primitive compared to later versions, and did not guarantee reliable detection of timeouts anyway. (Essentially, this is a refinement of commit 3e7fdcffd6f77187, which was back-patched only as far as 9.2.)
* Support JSON negative array subscripts everywhereAndrew Dunstan2015-07-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, there was an inconsistency across json/jsonb operators that operate on datums containing JSON arrays -- only some operators supported negative array count-from-the-end subscripting. Specifically, only a new-to-9.5 jsonb deletion operator had support (the new "jsonb - integer" operator). This inconsistency seemed likely to be counter-intuitive to users. To fix, allow all places where the user can supply an integer subscript to accept a negative subscript value, including path-orientated operators and functions, as well as other extraction operators. This will need to be called out as an incompatibility in the 9.5 release notes, since it's possible that users are relying on certain established extraction operators changed here yielding NULL in the event of a negative subscript. For the json type, this requires adding a way of cheaply getting the total JSON array element count ahead of time when parsing arrays with a negative subscript involved, necessitating an ad-hoc lex and parse. This is followed by a "conversion" from a negative subscript to its equivalent positive-wise value using the count. From there on, it's as if a positive-wise value was originally provided. Note that there is still a minor inconsistency here across jsonb deletion operators. Unlike the aforementioned new "-" deletion operator that accepts an integer on its right hand side, the new "#-" path orientated deletion variant does not throw an error when it appears like an array subscript (input that could be recognized by as an integer literal) is being used on an object, which is wrong-headed. The reason for not being stricter is that it could be the case that an object pair happens to have a key value that looks like an integer; in general, these two possibilities are impossible to differentiate with rhs path text[] argument elements. However, we still don't allow the "#-" path-orientated deletion operator to perform array-style subscripting. Rather, we just return the original left operand value in the event of a negative subscript (which seems analogous to how the established "jsonb/json #> text[]" path-orientated operator may yield NULL in the event of an invalid subscript). In passing, make SetArrayPath() stricter about not accepting cases where there is trailing non-numeric garbage bytes rather than a clean NUL byte. This means, for example, that strings like "10e10" are now not accepted as an array subscript of 10 by some new-to-9.5 path-orientated jsonb operators (e.g. the new #- operator). Finally, remove dead code for jsonb subscript deletion; arguably, this should have been done in commit b81c7b409. Peter Geoghegan and Andrew Dunstan
* Repair mishandling of cached cast-expression trees in plpgsql.Tom Lane2015-07-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In commit 1345cc67bbb014209714af32b5681b1e11eaf964, I introduced caching of expressions representing type-cast operations into plpgsql. However, I supposed that I could cache both the expression trees and the evaluation state trees derived from them for the life of the session. This doesn't work, because we execute the expressions in plpgsql's simple_eval_estate, which has an ecxt_per_query_memory that is only transaction-lifespan. Therefore we can end up putting pointers into the evaluation state tree that point to transaction-lifespan memory; in particular this happens if the cast expression calls a SQL-language function, as reported by Geoff Winkless. The minimum-risk fix seems to be to treat the state trees the same way we do for "simple expression" trees in plpgsql, ie create them in the simple_eval_estate's ecxt_per_query_memory, which means recreating them once per transaction. Since I had to introduce bookkeeping overhead for that anyway, I bought back some of the added cost by sharing the read-only expression trees across all functions in the session, instead of using a per-function table as originally. The simple-expression bookkeeping takes care of the recursive-usage risk that I was concerned about avoiding before. At some point we should take a harder look at how all this works, and see if we can't reduce the amount of tree reinitialization needed. But that won't happen for 9.5.
* Fix entirely broken permissions test in new alter_operator regression test.Tom Lane2015-07-17
| | | | | | Not only did this test fail to test what it was supposed to test, but it left a user definition lying around, which caused subsequent runs of the regression tests to fail.
* Add new function pg_notification_queue_usage.Robert Haas2015-07-17
| | | | | | | This tells you what fraction of NOTIFY's queue is currently filled. Brendan Jurd, reviewed by Merlin Moncure and Gurjeet Singh. A few further tweaks by me.
* AIX: Test the -qlonglong option before use.Noah Misch2015-07-17
| | | | | | | | xlc provides "long long" unconditionally at C99-compatible language levels, and this option provokes a warning. The warning interferes with "configure" tests that fail in response to any warning. Notably, before commit 85a2a8903f7e9151793308d0638621003aded5ae, it interfered with the test for -qnoansialias. Back-patch to 9.0 (all supported versions).
* Fix a low-probability crash in our qsort implementation.Tom Lane2015-07-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's standard for quicksort implementations, after having partitioned the input into two subgroups, to recurse to process the smaller partition and then handle the larger partition by iterating. This method guarantees that no more than log2(N) levels of recursion can be needed. However, Bentley and McIlroy argued that checking to see which partition is smaller isn't worth the cycles, and so their code doesn't do that but just always recurses on the left partition. In most cases that's fine; but with worst-case input we might need O(N) levels of recursion, and that means that qsort could be driven to stack overflow. Such an overflow seems to be the only explanation for today's report from Yiqing Jin of a SIGSEGV in med3_tuple while creating an index of a couple billion entries with a very large maintenance_work_mem setting. Therefore, let's spend the few additional cycles and lines of code needed to choose the smaller partition for recursion. Also, fix up the qsort code so that it properly uses size_t not int for some intermediate values representing numbers of items. This would only be a live risk when sorting more than INT_MAX bytes (in qsort/qsort_arg) or tuples (in qsort_tuple), which I believe would never happen with any caller in the current core code --- but perhaps it could happen with call sites in third-party modules? In any case, this is trouble waiting to happen, and the corrected code is probably if anything shorter and faster than before, since it removes sign-extension steps that had to happen when converting between int and size_t. In passing, move a couple of CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() calls so that it's not necessary to preserve the value of "r" across them, and prettify the output of gen_qsort_tuple.pl a little. Back-patch to all supported branches. The odds of hitting this issue are probably higher in 9.4 and up than before, due to the new ability to allocate sort workspaces exceeding 1GB, but there's no good reason to believe that it's impossible to crash older branches this way.

* AIX: Link TRANSFORM modules with their dependencies.Noah Misch2015-07-15
| | | | | | | | The result closely resembles linking of these modules for the "win32" port. Augment the $(exports_file) header so the file is also usable as an import file. Unfortunately, relocating an AIX installation will now require adding $(pkglibdir) to LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Back-patch to 9.5, where the modules were introduced.
* AIX: Link the postgres executable with -Wl,-brtllib.Noah Misch2015-07-15
| | | | | | | | | This allows PostgreSQL modules and their dependencies to have undefined symbols, resolved at runtime. Perl module shared objects rely on that in Perl 5.8.0 and later. This fixes the crash when PL/PerlU loads such modules, as the hstore_plperl test suite does. Module authors can link using -Wl,-G to permit undefined symbols; by default, linking will fail as it has. Back-patch to 9.0 (all supported versions).
* Remove regression test added on auto-pilot.Robert Haas2015-07-14
| | | | | | Test does not match the comment which precedes it. Peter Geoghegan
* Fix event trigger support for the new ALTER OPERATOR command.Heikki Linnakangas2015-07-14
| | | | | Also, the lock on pg_operator should not be released until end of transaction.
* Add ALTER OPERATOR command, for changing selectivity estimator functions.Heikki Linnakangas2015-07-14
| | | | | | | | | Other options cannot be changed, as it's not totally clear if cached plans would need to be invalidated if one of the other options change. Selectivity estimator functions only change plan costs, not correctness of plans, so those should be safe. Original patch by Uriy Zhuravlev, heavily edited by me.
* Make regression test output stable.Heikki Linnakangas2015-07-14
| | | | | | In the test query I added for ALTER TABLE retaining comments, the order of the result rows was not stable, and varied across systems. Add an ORDER BY to make the order predictable. This should fix the buildfarm failures.
* Retain comments on indexes and constraints at ALTER TABLE ... TYPE ...Heikki Linnakangas2015-07-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a column's datatype is changed, ATExecAlterColumnType() rebuilds all the affected indexes and constraints, and the comments from the old indexes/constraints were not carried over. To fix, create a synthetic COMMENT ON command in the work queue, to re-add any comments on constraints. For indexes, there's a comment field in IndexStmt that is used. This fixes bug #13126, reported by Kirill Simonov. Original patch by Michael Paquier, reviewed by Petr Jelinek and me. This bug is present in all versions, but only backpatch to 9.5. Given how minor the issue is, it doesn't seem worth the work and risk to backpatch further than that.
* Reformat code in ATPostAlterTypeParse.Heikki Linnakangas2015-07-14
| | | | | | | | | | | The code in ATPostAlterTypeParse was very deeply indented, mostly because there were two nested switch-case statements, which add a lot of indentation. Use if-else blocks instead, to make the code less indented and more readable. This is in preparation for next patch that makes some actualy changes to the function. These cosmetic parts have been separated to make it easier to see the real changes in the other patch.
* Fix assorted memory leaks.Tom Lane2015-07-12
| | | | | | | | Per Coverity (not that any of these are so non-obvious that they should not have been caught before commit). The extent of leakage is probably minor to unnoticeable, but a leak is a leak. Back-patch as necessary. Michael Paquier
* For consistency add a pfree to ON CONFLICT set_plan_refs code.Andres Freund2015-07-12

* Optionally don't error out due to preexisting slots in commandline utilities.Andres Freund2015-07-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | pg_receivexlog and pg_recvlogical error out when --create-slot is specified and a slot with the same name already exists. In some cases, especially with pg_receivexlog, that's rather annoying and requires additional scripting. Backpatch to 9.5 as slot control functions have newly been added to pg_receivexlog, and there doesn't seem much point leaving it in a less useful state.

* Add now-required #include.Tom Lane2015-07-11

* Add assign_expr_collations() to CreatePolicy() and AlterPolicy().Joe Conway2015-07-11
| | | | | | As noted by Noah Misch, CreatePolicy() and AlterPolicy() omit to call assign_expr_collations() on the node trees. Fix the omission and add his test case to the rowsecurity regression test.
* Fix postmaster's handling of a startup-process crash.Tom Lane2015-07-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Ordinarily, a failure (unexpected exit status) of the startup subprocess should be considered fatal, so the postmaster should just close up shop and quit. However, if we sent the startup process a SIGQUIT or SIGKILL signal, the failure is hardly "unexpected", and we should attempt restart; this is necessary for recovery from ordinary backend crashes in hot-standby scenarios. I attempted to implement the latter rule with a two-line patch in commit 442231d7f71764b8c628044e7ce2225f9aa43b67, but it now emerges that that patch was a few bricks shy of a load: it failed to distinguish the case of a signaled startup process from the case where the new startup process crashes before reaching database consistency. That resulted in infinitely respawning a new startup process only to have it crash again. To handle this properly, we really must track whether we have sent the *current* startup process a kill signal. Rather than add yet another ad-hoc boolean to the postmaster's state, I chose to unify this with the existing RecoveryError flag into an enum tracking the startup process's state. That seems more consistent with the postmaster's general state machine design. Back-patch to 9.0, like the previous patch.
* Fix obsolete comment regarding NOTICE message level.Fujii Masao2015-07-09
| | | | | | | By default NOTICE message is not sent to server log because the default value of log_min_messages is WARNING since 8.4. Pavel Stehule
* Make wal_compression PGC_SUSET rather than PGC_USERSET.Fujii Masao2015-07-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | When enabling wal_compression, there is a risk to leak data similarly to the BREACH and CRIME attacks on SSL where the compression ratio of a full page image gives a hint of what is the existing data of this page. This vulnerability is quite cumbersome to exploit in practice, but doable. So this patch makes wal_compression PGC_SUSET in order to prevent non-superusers from enabling it and exploiting the vulnerability while DBA thinks the risk very seriously and disables it in postgresql.conf. Back-patch to 9.5 where wal_compression was introduced.
* Use --debug flag in "remote" pg_rewind regression tests.Heikki Linnakangas2015-07-09
| | | | Gives more information in the log, to debug possible failures.
* Improve logging of TAP tests.Heikki Linnakangas2015-07-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Create a log file for each test run. Stdout and stderr of the test script, as well as any subprocesses run as part of the test, are redirected to the log file. This makes it a lot easier to debug test failures. Also print the test output (ok 12 - ... messages) to the log file, and the command line of any external programs executed with the system_or_bail and run_log functions. This makes it a lot easier to debug failing tests. Modify some of the pg_ctl and other command invocations to not use 'silent' or 'quiet' options, and don't redirect output to /dev/null, so that you get all the information in the log instead. In the passing, construct some command lines in a way that works if $tempdir contains quote-characters. I haven't systematically gone through all of them or tested that, so I don't know if this is enough to make that work. pg_rewind tests had a custom mechanism for creating a similar log file. Use the new generic facility instead. Michael Paquier and me.

* Given a gcc-compatible xlc compiler, prefer xlc-style atomics.Noah Misch2015-07-08
| | | | | This evades a ppc64le "IBM XL C/C++ for Linux" compiler bug. Back-patch to 9.5, where the atomics facility was introduced.
* Finish generic-xlc.h draft atomics implementation.Noah Misch2015-07-08
| | | | | Back-patch to 9.5, where commit b64d92f1a5602c55ee8b27a7ac474f03b7aee340 introduced this file.
* Revoke support for strxfrm() that write past the specified array length.Noah Misch2015-07-08
| | | | | | | This formalizes a decision implicit in commit 4ea51cdfe85ceef8afabceb03c446574daa0ac23 and adds clean detection of affected systems. Vendor updates are available for each such known bug. Back-patch to 9.5, where the aforementioned commit first appeared.
* Replace use of "diff -q".Noah Misch2015-07-08
| | | | | | | POSIX does not specify the -q option, and many implementations do not offer it. Don't bother changing the MSVC build system, because having non-GNU diff on Windows is vanishingly unlikely. Back-patch to 9.2, where this invocation was introduced.
* Fix null pointer dereference in "\c" psql command.Noah Misch2015-07-08
| | | | | | The psql crash happened when no current connection existed. (The second new check is optional given today's undocumented NULL argument handling in PQhost() etc.) Back-patch to 9.0 (all supported versions).
* Improve regression test coverage of table lock modes vs permissions.Joe Conway2015-07-07
| | | | | | | | Test the interactions with permissions and LOCK TABLE. Specifically ROW EXCLUSIVE, ACCESS SHARE, and ACCESS EXCLUSIVE modes against SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, and TRUNCATE permissions. Discussed by Stephen Frost and Michael Paquier, patch by the latter. Backpatch to 9.5 where matching behavior was first committed.
* Fix incorrect path in pg_regress log messages.Fujii Masao2015-07-08
| | | | | | Back-patch to 9.5 where the bug was introduced. David Christensen
* Fix portability issue in pg_upgrade test script: avoid $PWD.Tom Lane2015-07-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | SUSv2-era shells don't set the PWD variable, though anything more modern does. In the buildfarm environment this could lead to test.sh executing with PWD pointing to $HOME or another high-level directory, so that there were conflicts between concurrent executions of the test in different branch subdirectories. This appears to be the explanation for recent intermittent failures on buildfarm members binturong and dingo (and might well have something to do with the buildfarm script's failure to capture log files from pg_upgrade tests, too). To fix, just use `pwd` in place of $PWD. AFAICS test.sh is the only place in our source tree that depended on $PWD. Back-patch to all versions containing this script. Per buildfarm. Thanks to Oskari Saarenmaa for diagnosing the problem.
* Improve handling of out-of-memory in libpq.Heikki Linnakangas2015-07-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | If an allocation fails in the main message handling loop, pqParseInput3 or pqParseInput2, it should not be treated as "not enough data available yet". Otherwise libpq will wait indefinitely for more data to arrive from the server, and gets stuck forever. This isn't a complete fix - getParamDescriptions and getCopyStart still have the same issue, but it's a step in the right direction. Michael Paquier and me. Backpatch to all supported versions.
* Add tab-completion for psql meta-commands.Fujii Masao2015-07-07

* Fix logical decoding bug leading to inefficient reopening of files.Andres Freund2015-07-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When spilling transaction data to disk a simple typo caused the output file to be closed and reopened for every serialized change. That happens to not have a huge impact on linux, which is why it probably wasn't noticed so far, but on windows that appears to trigger actual disk writes after every change. Not fun. The bug fortunately does not have any impact besides speed. A change could end up being in the wrong segment (last instead of next), but since we read all files to the end, that's just ugly, not really problematic. It's not a problem to upgrade, since transaction spill files do not persist across restarts. Bug: #13484 Reported-By: Olivier Gosseaume Discussion: 20150703090217.1190.63940@wrigleys.postgresql.org Backpatch to 9.4, where logical decoding was added.
