* Stabilize query plans in rowsecurity regression test.Tom Lane2015-06-04
| | | | | | | Some recent buildfarm failures can be explained by supposing that autovacuum or autoanalyze fired on the tables created by this test, resulting in plan changes. Do a proactive VACUUM ANALYZE on the test's principal tables to try to forestall such changes.
* Remove -i/--ignore-version option from pg_dump, pg_dumpall and pg_restore.Fujii Masao2015-06-04
| | | | | | | | The commit c22ed3d523782c43836c163c16fa5a7bb3912826 turned the -i/--ignore-version options into no-ops and marked as deprecated. Considering we shipped that in 8.4, it's time to remove all trace of those switches, per discussion. We'd still have to wait a couple releases before it'd be safe to use -i for something else, but it'd be a start.
* Fix some questionable edge-case behaviors in add_path() and friends.Tom Lane2015-06-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | add_path_precheck was doing exact comparisons of path costs, but it really needs to do them fuzzily to be sure it won't reject paths that could survive add_path's comparisons. (This can only matter if the initial cost estimate is very close to the final one, but that turns out to often be true.) Also, it should ignore startup cost for this purpose if and only if compare_path_costs_fuzzily would do so. The previous coding always ignored startup cost for parameterized paths, which is wrong as of commit 3f59be836c555fa6; it could result in improper early rejection of paths that we care about for SEMI/ANTI joins. It also always considered startup cost for unparameterized paths, which is just as wrong though the only effect is to waste planner cycles on paths that can't survive. Instead, it should consider startup cost only when directed to by the consider_startup/ consider_param_startup relation flags. Likewise, compare_path_costs_fuzzily should have symmetrical behavior for parameterized and unparameterized paths. In this case, the best answer seems to be that after establishing that total costs are fuzzily equal, we should compare startup costs whether or not the consider_xxx flags are on. That is what it's always done for unparameterized paths, so let's make the behavior for parameterized paths match. These issues were noted while developing the SEMI/ANTI join costing fix of commit 3f59be836c555fa6, but we chose not to back-patch these fixes, because they can cause changes in the planner's choices among nearly-same-cost plans. (There is in fact one minor change in plan choice within the core regression tests.) Destabilizing plan choices in back branches without very clear improvements is frowned on, so we'll just fix this in HEAD.
* Fix planner's cost estimation for SEMI/ANTI joins with inner indexscans.Tom Lane2015-06-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the inner side of a nestloop SEMI or ANTI join is an indexscan that uses all the join clauses as indexquals, it can be presumed that both matched and unmatched outer rows will be processed very quickly: for matched rows, we'll stop after fetching one row from the indexscan, while for unmatched rows we'll have an indexscan that finds no matching index entries, which should also be quick. The planner already knew about this, but it was nonetheless charging for at least one full run of the inner indexscan, as a consequence of concerns about the behavior of materialized inner scans --- but those concerns don't apply in the fast case. If the inner side has low cardinality (many matching rows) this could make an indexscan plan look far more expensive than it actually is. To fix, rearrange the work in initial_cost_nestloop/final_cost_nestloop so that we don't add the inner scan cost until we've inspected the indexquals, and then we can add either the full-run cost or just the first tuple's cost as appropriate. Experimentation with this fix uncovered another problem: add_path and friends were coded to disregard cheap startup cost when considering parameterized paths. That's usually okay (and desirable, because it thins the path herd faster); but in this fast case for SEMI/ANTI joins, it could result in throwing away the desired plain indexscan path in favor of a bitmap scan path before we ever get to the join costing logic. In the many-matching-rows cases of interest here, a bitmap scan will do a lot more work than required, so this is a problem. To fix, add a per-relation flag consider_param_startup that works like the existing consider_startup flag, but applies to parameterized paths, and set it for relations that are the inside of a SEMI or ANTI join. To make this patch reasonably safe to back-patch, care has been taken to avoid changing the planner's behavior except in the very narrow case of SEMI/ANTI joins with inner indexscans. There are places in compare_path_costs_fuzzily and add_path_precheck that are not terribly consistent with the new approach, but changing them will affect planner decisions at the margins in other cases, so we'll leave that for a HEAD-only fix. Back-patch to 9.3; before that, the consider_startup flag didn't exist, meaning that the second aspect of the patch would be too invasive. Per a complaint from Peter Holzer and analysis by Tomas Vondra.

* Avoid naming a variable "new", and remove bogus initializer.Andrew Dunstan2015-05-31

* Add a couple of missing JsonbValue type initialisers.Andrew Dunstan2015-05-31

* Rename jsonb_replace to jsonb_set and allow it to add new valuesAndrew Dunstan2015-05-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | The function is given a fourth parameter, which defaults to true. When this parameter is true, if the last element of the path is missing in the original json, jsonb_set creates it in the result and assigns it the new value. If it is false then the function does nothing unless all elements of the path are present, including the last. Based on some original code from Dmitry Dolgov, heavily modified by me. Catalog version bumped.

* initdb -S should now have an explicit check that $PGDATA is valid.Tom Lane2015-05-29
| | | | | | | | | The fsync code from the backend essentially assumes that somebody's already validated PGDATA, at least to the extent of it being a readable directory. That's safe enough for initdb's normal code path too, but "initdb -S" doesn't have any other processing at all that touches the target directory. To have reasonable error-case behavior, add a pg_check_dir call. Per gripe from Peter E.
* Remove special cases for ETXTBSY from new fsync'ing logic.Tom Lane2015-05-29
| | | | | | | | | | The argument that this is a sufficiently-expected case to be silently ignored seems pretty thin. Andres had brought it up back when we were still considering that most fsync failures should be hard errors, and it probably would be legit not to fail hard for ETXTBSY --- but the same is true for EROFS and other cases, which is why we gave up on hard failures. ETXTBSY is surely not a normal case, so logging the failure seems fine from here.
* Check that all aliases of a built-in function have same leakproof property.Tom Lane2015-05-29
| | | | | | | | | | opr_sanity.sql has a test checking that relevant properties of built-in functions match when the same C function is referenced by multiple pg_proc entries. The test neglected to check proleakproof, though, and when I added that condition it exposed that xideqint4 hadn't been updated to match xideq. So fix that as well, and in consequence bump catversion. This isn't very critical, so no need to worry about fixing back branches.
* Adjust initdb to also not consider fsync'ing failures fatal.Tom Lane2015-05-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Make initdb's version of this logic look as much like the backend's as possible. This is much less critical than in the backend since not so many people use "initdb -S", but we want the same corner-case error handling in both cases. Back-patch to 9.3 where initdb -S option was introduced. Before that, initdb only had to deal with freshly-created data directories, wherein no failures should be expected. Abhijit Menon-Sen
* Revert exporting of internal GUC variable "data_directory".Tom Lane2015-05-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This undoes a poorly-thought-out choice in commit 970a18687f9b3058, namely to export guc.c's internal variable data_directory. The authoritative variable so far as C code is concerned is DataDir; there is no reason for anything except specific bits of GUC code to look at the GUC variable. After yesterday's commits fixing the fsync-on-restart patch, the only remaining misuse of data_directory was in AlterSystemSetConfigFile(), which would be much better off just using a relative path anyhow: it's less code and it doesn't break if the DBA moves the data directory of a running system, which is a case we've taken some pains over in the past. This is mostly cosmetic, so no need for a back-patch (and I'd be hesitant to remove a global variable in stable branches anyway).
* 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. Abhijit Menon-Sen and Tom Lane
* Fix pg_rewind's handling of top-level symlinks.Tom Lane2015-05-28
| | | | | | | | The previous coding suffered a null-pointer dereference if it found any symlink at the top level of $PGDATA. Fix that, and teach it to recurse into a symlink for pg_xlog, but not anything else. Per note from Abhijit Menon-Sen.
* Fix assorted inconsistencies in our calls of readlink().Tom Lane2015-05-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Ensure that we null-terminate the result string (one place in pg_rewind). Be paranoid about out-of-range results from readlink() (should not happen, but there is no good reason for some call sites to be careful about it and others not). Consistently use the whole buffer, not sometimes one byte less. Ensure we emit an appropriate errcode() in all cases. Spell the error messages the same way. The only serious bug here is the missing null-termination in pg_rewind, which is new code, so no need for a back-patch. Abhijit Menon-Sen and Tom Lane
* 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.
* Revert "Simplify addJsonbToParseState()"Andrew Dunstan2015-05-26
| | | | | | This reverts commit fba12c8c6c4159e1923958a4006b26f3cf873254. This relied on a commit that is also being reverted.
* Suppress occasional failures in brin regression test.Tom Lane2015-05-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | brin.sql included a call of brin_summarize_new_values(), and expected it to always report exactly 5 summarization events. This failed sometimes during parallel regression tests, as a consequence of the database-wide VACUUM in gist.sql getting there first. The most future-proof way to avoid variation in the test results is to forget about using brin_summarize_new_values() and just do a plain "VACUUM brintest", which will exercise the same code anyway. Having done that, there's no need for preventing autovacuum on brintest; doing so just reduces the scope of test coverage, so let's not.
* Simplify addJsonbToParseState()Andrew Dunstan2015-05-26
| | | | | This function no longer needs to walk non-scalar structures passed to it, following commit 54547bd87f49326d67051254c363e6597d16ffda.
* 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.
* Fix valgrind's "unaddressable bytes" whining about BRIN code.Tom Lane2015-05-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | brin_form_tuple calculated an exact tuple size, then palloc'd and filled just that much. Later, brin_doinsert or brin_doupdate would MAXALIGN the tuple size and tell PageAddItem that that was the size of the tuple to insert. If the original tuple size wasn't a multiple of MAXALIGN, the net result would be that PageAddItem would memcpy a few more bytes than the palloc request had been for. AFAICS, this is totally harmless in the real world: the error is a read overrun not a write overrun, and palloc would certainly have rounded the request up to a MAXALIGN multiple internally, so there's no chance of the memcpy fetching off the end of memory. Valgrind, however, is picky to the byte level not the MAXALIGN level. Fix it by pushing the MAXALIGN step back to brin_form_tuple. (The other possible source of tuples in this code, brin_form_placeholder_tuple, was already producing a MAXALIGN'd result.) In passing, be a bit more paranoid about internal allocations in brin_form_tuple.
* pgindent: document location of "all" typedef listsBruce Momjian2015-05-25

* 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.
* Clean up and simplify jsonb_concat code.Andrew Dunstan2015-05-25
| | | | | | | Some of this is made possible by commit 9b74f32cdbff8b9be47fc69164eae552050509ff which lets pushJsonbValue handle binary Jsonb values, meaning that clients no longer have to, and some is just doing things in simpler and more straightforward ways.

* Fix rescan of IndexScan node with the new lossy GiST distance functions.Heikki Linnakangas2015-05-25
| | | | | | Must reset the "reached end" flag and reorder queue at rescan. Per report from Regina Obe, bug #13349
* pgindent: more doc updates for skipping __asm__ filesBruce Momjian2015-05-24
|
* Revert 9.5 pgindent changes to atomics directory filesBruce Momjian2015-05-24
| | | | | This is because there are many __asm__ blocks there that pgindent messes up. Also configure pgindent to skip that directory in the future.
* Manual cleanup of pgindent results.Tom Lane2015-05-24
| | | | | | Fix some places where pgindent did silly stuff, often because project style wasn't followed to begin with. (I've not touched the atomics headers, though.)
* 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.
* Add a bit more commentary about regex's colormap tree data structure.Tom Lane2015-05-24
| | | | Per an off-list question from Piotr Stefaniak.
* Remove no-longer-required function declarations.Tom Lane2015-05-24
| | | | | | | | | | Remove a bunch of "extern Datum foo(PG_FUNCTION_ARGS);" declarations that are no longer needed now that PG_FUNCTION_INFO_V1(foo) provides that. Some of these were evidently missed in commit e7128e8dbb305059, but others were cargo-culted in in code added since then. Possibly that can be blamed in part on the fact that we'd not fixed relevant documentation examples, which I've now done.

* Add error check for lossy distance functions in index-only scans.Tom Lane2015-05-23
| | | | | Maybe we should actually support this, but for the moment let's just throw an error if the opclass tries it.
* Fix incorrect snprintf() limit.Tom Lane2015-05-23
| | | | | | | | Typo in commit 7cbee7c0a. No practical effect since the buffer should never actually be overrun, but various compilers and static analyzers will whine about it. Petr Jelinek
* Still more fixes for lossy-GiST-distance-functions patch.Tom Lane2015-05-23
| | | | | | Fix confusion in documentation, substantial memory leakage if float8 or float4 are pass-by-reference, and assorted comments that were obsoleted by commit 98edd617f3b62a02cb2df9b418fcc4ece45c7ec0.
* Fix yet another bug in ON CONFLICT rule deparsing.Andres Freund2015-05-23
| | | | | | | Expand testing of rule deparsing a good bit, it's evidently needed. Author: Peter Geoghegan, Andres Freund Discussion: CAM3SWZQmXxZhQC32QVEOTYfNXJBJ_Q2SDENL7BV14Cq-zL0FLg@mail.gmail.com
* Remove the new UPSERT command tag and use INSERT instead.Andres Freund2015-05-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, INSERT with ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE specified used a new command tag -- UPSERT. It was introduced out of concern that INSERT as a command tag would be a misrepresentation for ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE, as some affected rows may actually have been updated. Alvaro Herrera noticed that the implementation of that new command tag was incomplete; in subsequent discussion we concluded that having it doesn't provide benefits that are in line with the compatibility breaks it requires. Catversion bump due to the removal of PlannedStmt->isUpsert. Author: Peter Geoghegan Discussion: 20150520215816.GI5885@postgresql.org
* Fix recently-introduced crash in array_contain_compare().Tom Lane2015-05-22
| | | | | | | | | | Silly oversight in commit 1dc5ebc9077ab742079ce5dac9a6664248d42916: when array2 is an expanded array, it might have array2->xpn.dnulls equal to NULL, indicating the array is known null-free. The code wasn't expecting that, because it formerly always used deconstruct_array() which always delivers a nulls array. Per bug #13334 from Regina Obe.
* 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.
* At promotion, don't leave behind a partial segment on the old timeline.Heikki Linnakangas2015-05-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With commit de768844, a copy of the partial segment was archived with the .partial suffix, but the original file was still left in pg_xlog, so it didn't actually solve the problems with archiving the partial segment that it was supposed to solve. With this patch, the partial segment is renamed rather than copied, so we only archive it with the .partial suffix. Also be more robust in detecting if the last segment is already being archived. Previously I used XLogArchiveIsBusy() for that, but that's not quite right. With archive_mode='always', there might be a .ready file for it, and we don't want to rename it to .partial in that case. The old segment is needed until we're fully committed to the new timeline, i.e. until we've written the end-of-recovery WAL record and updated the min recovery point and timeline in the control file. So move the renaming later in the startup sequence, after all that's been done.
* More fixes for lossy-GiST-distance-functions patch.Tom Lane2015-05-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Paul Ramsey reported that commit 35fcb1b3d038a501f3f4c87c05630095abaaadab induced a core dump on commuted ORDER BY expressions, because it was assuming that the indexorderby expression could be found verbatim in the relevant equivalence class, but it wasn't there. We really don't need anything that complicated anyway; for the data types likely to be used for index ORDER BY operators in the foreseeable future, the exprType() of the ORDER BY expression will serve fine. (The case where we'd have to work harder is where the ORDER BY expression's result is only binary-compatible with the declared input type of the ordering operator; long before worrying about that, one would need to get rid of GiST's hard-wired assumption that said datatype is float8.) Aside from fixing that crash and adding a regression test for the case, I did some desultory code review: nodeIndexscan.c was likewise overthinking how hard it ought to work to identify the datatype of the ORDER BY expressions. Add comments explaining how come nodeIndexscan.c can get away with simplifying assumptions about NULLS LAST ordering and no backward scan. Revert no-longer-needed changes of find_ec_member_for_tle(); while the new definition was no worse than the old, it wasn't better either, and it might cause back-patching pain. Revert entirely bogus additions to genam.h.
* Improve packing/alignment annotation for ItemPointerData.Tom Lane2015-05-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We want this struct to be exactly a series of 3 int16 words, no more and no less. Historically, at least, some ARM compilers preferred to pad it to 8 bytes unless coerced. Our old way of doing that was just to use __attribute__((packed)), but as pointed out by Piotr Stefaniak, that does too much: it also licenses the compiler to give the struct only byte-alignment. We don't want that because it adds access overhead, possibly quite significant overhead. According to the GCC manual, what we want requires also specifying __attribute__((align(2))). It's not entirely clear if all the relevant compilers accept this pragma as well, but we can hope the buildfarm will tell us if not. We can also add a static assertion that should fire if the compiler padded the struct. Since the combination of these pragmas should define exactly what we want on any compiler that accepts them, let's try using them wherever we think they exist, not only for __arm__. (This is likely to expose that the conditional definitions in c.h are inadequate, but finding that out would be a good thing.) The immediate motivation for this is that the current definition of ExecRowMark allows its curCtid field to be misaligned. It is not clear whether there are any other uses of ItemPointerData with a similar hazard. We could change the definition of ExecRowMark if this doesn't work, but it would be far better to have a future-proof fix. Piotr Stefaniak, some further hacking by me
* Make recovery_target_action = pause work.Fujii Masao2015-05-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously even if recovery_target_action was set to pause and the recovery target was reached, the recovery could never be paused. Because the setting of pause was *always* overridden with that of shutdown unexpectedly. This override is valid and intentional if hot_standby is not enabled because there is no way to resume the paused recovery in this case and the setting of pause is completely useless. But not if hot_standby is enabled. This patch changes the code so that the setting of pause is overridden with that of shutdown only when hot_standby is not enabled. Bug reported by Andres Freund
