* Fix ABI break introduced by commit 4daa140a2f.Amit Kapila2021-06-24
| | | | | | | | | | Move the newly defined enum value REORDER_BUFFER_CHANGE_INTERNAL_SPEC_ABORT at the end to avoid ABI break in the back branches. We need to back-patch this till v11 because before that it is already at the end.

* Prevent race condition while reading relmapper file.Heikki Linnakangas2021-06-24
| | | | | | | | | | | Contrary to the comment here, POSIX does not guarantee atomicity of a read(), if another process calls write() concurrently. Or at least Linux does not.

* Allow non-quoted identifiers as isolation test session/step names.Tom Lane2021-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For no obvious reason, isolationtester has always insisted that session and step names be written with double quotes. This is fairly tedious and does little for test readability, especially since the names that people actually choose almost always look like normal identifiers. Hence, let's tweak the lexer to allow SQL-like identifiers not only double-quoted strings. (They're SQL-like, not exactly SQL, because I didn't add any case-folding logic. Also there's no provision for U&"..." names, not that anyone's likely to care.) There is one incompatibility introduced by this change: if you write "foo""bar" with no space, that used to be taken as two identifiers, but now it's just one identifier with an embedded quote mark. I converted all the src/test/isolation/ specfiles to remove unnecessary double quotes, but stopped there because my eyes were glazing over already. Like 741d7f104, back-patch to all supported branches, so that this isn't a stumbling block for back-patching isolation test changes. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/759113.1623861959@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Don't assume GSSAPI result strings are null-terminated.Tom Lane2021-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Our uses of gss_display_status() and gss_display_name() assumed that the gss_buffer_desc strings returned by those functions are null-terminated. It appears that they generally are, given the lack of field complaints up to now. However, the available documentation does not promise this, and some man pages for gss_display_status() show examples that rely on the gss_buffer_desc.length field instead of expecting null termination. Also, we now have a report that on some implementations, clang's address sanitizer is of the opinion that the byte after the specified length is undefined. Hence, change the code to rely on the length field instead. This might well be cosmetic rather than fixing any real bug, but it's hard to be sure, so back-patch to all supported branches. While here, also back-patch the v12 changes that made pg_GSS_error deal honestly with multiple messages available from gss_display_status. Per report from Sudheer H R.

* Improve display of query results in isolation tests.Tom Lane2021-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, isolationtester displayed SQL query results using some ad-hoc code that clearly hadn't had much effort expended on it. Field values longer than 14 characters weren't separated from the next field, and usually caused misalignment of the columns too. Also there was no visual separation of a query's result from subsequent isolationtester output. This made test result files confusing and hard to read. To improve matters, let's use libpq's PQprint() function. Although that's long since unused by psql, it's still plenty good enough for the purpose here. Like 741d7f104, back-patch to all supported branches, so that this isn't a stumbling block for back-patching isolation test changes. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/582362.1623798221@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Use annotations to reduce instability of isolation-test results.Tom Lane2021-06-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We've long contended with isolation test results that aren't entirely stable. Some test scripts insert long delays to try to force stable results, which is not terribly desirable; but other erratic failure modes remain, causing unrepeatable buildfarm failures. I've spent a fair amount of time trying to solve this by improving the server-side support code, without much success: that way is fundamentally unable to cope with diffs that stem from chance ordering of arrival of messages from different server processes. We can improve matters on the client side, however, by annotating the test scripts themselves to show the desired reporting order of events that might occur in different orders. This patch adds three types of annotations to deal with (a) test steps that might or might not complete their waits before the isolationtester can see them waiting; (b) test steps in different sessions that can legitimately complete in either order; and (c) NOTIFY messages that might arrive before or after the completion of a step in another session. We might need more annotation types later, but this seems to be enough to deal with the instabilities we've seen in the buildfarm. It also lets us get rid of all the long delays that were previously used, cutting more than a minute off the runtime of the isolation tests. Back-patch to all supported branches, because the buildfarm instabilities affect all the branches, and because it seems desirable to keep isolationtester's capabilities the same across all branches to simplify possible future back-patching of tests.

* Restore the portal-level snapshot for simple expressions, too.Tom Lane2021-06-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commits 84f5c2908 et al missed the need to cover plpgsql's "simple expression" code path. If the first thing we execute after a COMMIT/ROLLBACK is one of those, rather than a full-fledged SPI command, we must explicitly do EnsurePortalSnapshotExists() to make sure we have an outer snapshot. Note that it wouldn't be good enough to just push a snapshot for the duration of the expression execution: what comes back might be toasted, so we'd better have a snapshot protecting it. The test case demonstrating this fact cheats a bit by marking a SQL function immutable even though it fetches from a table. That's nothing that users haven't been seen to do, though. Per report from Jim Nasby. Back-patch to v11, like the previous fix. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/378885e4-f85f-fc28-6c91-c4d1c080bf26@amazon.com
* Fix misbehavior of DROP OWNED BY with duplicate polroles entries.Tom Lane2021-06-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Ordinarily, a pg_policy.polroles array wouldn't list the same role more than once; but CREATE POLICY does not prevent that. If we perform DROP OWNED BY on a role that is listed more than once, RemoveRoleFromObjectPolicy either suffered an assertion failure or encountered a tuple-updated-by-self error. Rewrite it to cope correctly with duplicate entries, and add a CommandCounterIncrement call to prevent the other problem. Per discussion, there's other cleanup that ought to happen here, but this seems like the minimum essential fix. Per bug #17062 from Alexander Lakhin. It's been broken all along, so back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/17062-11f471ae3199ca23@postgresql.org
* Avoid scribbling on input node tree in CREATE/ALTER DOMAIN.Tom Lane2021-06-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This works fine in the "simple Query" code path; but if the statement is in the plan cache then it's corrupted for future re-execution. Apply copyObject() to protect the original tree from modification, as we've done elsewhere. This narrow fix is applied only to the back branches. In HEAD, the problem was fixed more generally by commit 7c337b6b5; but that changed ProcessUtility's API, so it's infeasible to back-patch. Per bug #17053 from Charles Samborski.

* Don't set a fast default for anything but a plain tableAndrew Dunstan2021-06-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The fast default code added in Release 11 omitted to check that the table a fast default was being added to was a plain table. Thus one could be added to a foreign table, which predicably blows up. Here we perform that check. In addition, on the back branches, since some of these might have escaped into the wild, if we encounter a missing value for an attribute of something other than a plain table we ignore it.

* Tidy up GetMultiXactIdMembers()'s behavior on errorHeikki Linnakangas2021-06-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | One of the error paths left *members uninitialized. That's not a live bug, because most callers don't look at *members when the function returns -1, but let's be tidy. One caller, in heap_lock_tuple(), does "if (members != NULL) pfree(members)", but AFAICS it never passes an invalid 'multi' value so it should not reach that error case. The callers are also a bit inconsistent in their expectations. heap_lock_tuple() pfrees the 'members' array if it's not-NULL, others pfree() it if "nmembers >= 0", and others if "nmembers > 0". That's not a live bug either, because the function should never return 0, but add an Assert for that to make it more clear. I left the callers alone for now. I also moved the line where we set *nmembers. It wasn't wrong before, but I like to do that right next to the 'return' statement, to make it clear that it's always set on return. Also remove one unreachable return statement after ereport(ERROR), for brevity and for consistency with the similar if-block right after it.

* Detect unused steps in isolation specs and do some cleanupMichael Paquier2021-06-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is useful for developers to find out if an isolation spec is over-engineered or if it needs more work by warning at the end of a test run if a step is not used, generating a failure with extra diffs. While on it, clean up all the specs which include steps not used in any permutations to simplify them.

* Remove dry-run mode from isolationtesterMichael Paquier2021-06-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The original purpose of the dry-run mode is to be able to print all the possible permutations from a spec file, but it has become less useful since isolation tests have improved regarding deadlock detection as one step not wanted by the author could block indefinitely now (originally the step blocked would have been detected rather quickly). Per discussion, let's remove it. This is a backpatch of 9903338 for 9.6~12. It is proving to become useful to have on those branches so as the code gets consistent across all supported versions, as a matter of improving the output generated by isolationtester.

* Fix plancache refcount leak after error in ExecuteQuery.Tom Lane2021-06-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When stuffing a plan from the plancache into a Portal, one is not supposed to risk throwing an error between GetCachedPlan and PortalDefineQuery; if that happens, the plan refcount incremented by GetCachedPlan will be leaked. I managed to break this rule while refactoring code in 9dbf2b7d7. There is no visible consequence other than some memory leakage, and since nobody is very likely to trigger the relevant error conditions many times in a row, it's not surprising we haven't noticed. Nonetheless, it's a bug, so rearrange the order of operations to remove the hazard. Noted on the way to looking for a better fix for bug #17053. This mistake is pretty old, so back-patch to all supported branches.

* Fix decoding of speculative aborts.Amit Kapila2021-06-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | During decoding for speculative inserts, we were relying for cleaning toast hash on confirmation records or next change records. But that could lead to multiple problems (a) memory leak if there is neither a confirmation record nor any other record after toast insertion for a speculative insert in the transaction, (b) error and assertion failures if the next operation is not an insert/update on the same table. The fix is to start queuing spec abort change and clean up toast hash and change record during its processing. Currently, we are queuing the spec aborts for both toast and main table even though we perform cleanup while processing the main table's spec abort record. Later, if we have a way to distinguish between the spec abort record of toast and the main table, we can avoid queuing the change for spec aborts of toast tables.

* Work around portability issue with newer versions of mktime().Tom Lane2021-06-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Recent glibc versions have made mktime() fail if tm_isdst is inconsistent with the prevailing timezone; in particular it fails for tm_isdst = 1 when the zone is UTC. (This seems wildly inconsistent with the POSIX-mandated treatment of "incorrect" values for the other fields of struct tm, so if you ask me it's a bug, but I bet they'll say it's intentional.) This has been observed to cause cosmetic problems when pg_restore'ing an archive created in a different timezone. To fix, do mktime() using the field values from the archive, and if that fails try again with tm_isdst = -1. This will give a result that's off by the UTC-offset difference from the original zone, but that was true before, too. It's not terribly critical since we don't do anything with the result except possibly print it. (Someday we should flush this entire bit of logic and record a standard-format timestamp in the archive instead. That's not okay for a back-patched bug fix, though.) Also, guard our only other use of mktime() by having initdb's build_time_t() set tm_isdst = -1 not 0. This case could only have an issue in zones that are DST year-round; but I think some do exist, or could in future. Per report from Wells Oliver. Back-patch to all supported versions, since any of them might need to run with a newer glibc. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAOC+FBWDhDHO7G-i1_n_hjRzCnUeFO+H-Czi1y10mFhRWpBrew@mail.gmail.com

* Restore robustness of TAP tests that wait for postmaster restart.Tom Lane2021-06-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Several TAP tests use poll_query_until() to wait for the postmaster to restart. They were checking to see if a trivial query (e.g. "SELECT 1") succeeds. However, that's problematic in the wake of commit 11e9caff8, because now that we feed said query to psql via stdin, we risk IPC::Run whining about a SIGPIPE failure if psql quits before reading the query. Hence, we can't use a nonempty query in cases where we need to wait for connection failures to stop happening. Per the precedent of commits c757a3da0 and 6d41dd045, we can pass "undef" as the query in such cases to ensure that IPC::Run has nothing to write. However, then we have to say that the expected output is empty, and this exposes a deficiency in poll_query_until: if psql fails altogether and returns empty stdout, poll_query_until will treat that as a success! That's because, contrary to its documentation, it makes no actual check for psql failure, looking neither at the exit status nor at stderr. To fix that, adjust poll_query_until to insist on empty stderr as well as a stdout match. (I experimented with checking exit status instead, but it seems that psql often does exit(1) in cases that we need to consider successes. That might be something to fix someday, but it would be a non-back-patchable behavior change.) Back-patch to v10. The test cases needing this exist only as far back as v11, but it seems wise to keep poll_query_until's behavior the same in v10, in case we back-patch another such test case in future. (9.6 does not currently need this change, because in that branch poll_query_until can't be told to accept empty stdout as a success case.) Per assorted buildfarm failures, mostly on hoverfly.

* Don't use Asserts to check for violations of replication protocol.Tom Lane2021-06-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Using an Assert to check the validity of incoming messages is an extremely poor decision. In a debug build, it should not be that easy for a broken or malicious remote client to crash the logrep worker. The consequences could be even worse in non-debug builds, which will fail to make such checks at all, leading to who-knows-what misbehavior. Hence, promote every Assert that could possibly be triggered by wrong or out-of-order replication messages to a full test-and-ereport. To avoid bloating the set of messages the translation team has to cope with, establish a policy that replication protocol violation error reports don't need to be translated. Hence, all the new messages here use errmsg_internal(). A couple of old messages are changed likewise for consistency. Along the way, fix some non-idiomatic or outright wrong uses of hash_search(). Most of these mistakes are new with the "streaming replication" patch (commit 464824323), but a couple go back a long way. Back-patch as appropriate.

Commit ee994272ca50f70b53074f0febaec97e28f83c4e introduced this logic and was an improvement over the previous code, but it mishandled this case.

If streaming is then tried afterward, expectedTLEs gets initialized with the history of the wrong timeline.

* Force NO SCROLL for plpgsql's implicit cursors.Tom Lane2021-06-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Further thought about bug #17050 suggests that it's a good idea to use CURSOR_OPT_NO_SCROLL for the implicit cursor opened by a plpgsql FOR-over-query loop. This ensures that, if somebody commits inside the loop, PersistHoldablePortal won't try to rewind and re-read the cursor. While we'd have selected NO_SCROLL anyway if FOR UPDATE/SHARE appears in the query, there are other hazards with volatile functions; and in any case, it's silly to expend effort storing rows that we know for certain won't be needed. (While here, improve the comment in exec_run_select, which was a bit confused about the rationale for when we can use parallel mode. Cursor operations aren't a hazard for nameless portals.) This wasn't an issue until v11, which introduced the possibility of persisting such cursors. Hence, back-patch to v11. Per bug #17050 from Алексей Булгаков.

* Avoid misbehavior when persisting a non-stable cursor.Tom Lane2021-06-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | PersistHoldablePortal has long assumed that it should store the entire output of the query-to-be-persisted, which requires rewinding and re-reading the output. This is problematic if the query is not stable: we might get different row contents, or even a different number of rows, which'd confuse the cursor state mightily. In the case where the cursor is NO SCROLL, this is very easy to solve: just store the remaining query output, without any rewinding, and tweak the portal's cursor state to match. Aside from removing the semantic problem, this could be significantly more efficient than storing the whole output. If the cursor is scrollable, there's not much we can do, but it was already the case that scrolling a volatile query's result was pretty unsafe. We can just document more clearly that getting correct results from that is not guaranteed. There are already prohibitions in place on using SCROLL with FOR UPDATE/SHARE, which is one way for a SELECT query to have non-stable results. We could imagine prohibiting SCROLL when the query contains volatile functions, but that would be expensive to enforce. Moreover, it could break applications that work just fine, if they have functions that are in fact stable but the user neglected to mark them so. So settle for documenting the hazard. While this problem has existed in some guise for a long time, it got a lot worse in v11, which introduced the possibility of persisting plpgsql cursors (perhaps implicit ones) even when they violate the rules for what can be marked WITH HOLD. Hence, I've chosen to back-patch to v11 but not further. Per bug #17050 from Алексей Булгаков. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/17050-f77aa827dc85247c@postgresql.org
* Remove unnecessary declaration in win32_port.hMichael Paquier2021-06-08

* Fix incautious handling of possibly-miscoded strings in client code.Tom Lane2021-06-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | An incorrectly-encoded multibyte character near the end of a string could cause various processing loops to run past the string's terminating NUL, with results ranging from no detectable issue to a program crash, depending on what happens to be in the following memory. This isn't an issue in the server, because we take care to verify the encoding of strings before doing any interesting processing on them. However, that lack of care leaked into client-side code which shouldn't assume that anyone has validated the encoding of its input. Although this is certainly a bug worth fixing, the PG security team elected not to regard it as a security issue, primarily because any untrusted text should be sanitized by PQescapeLiteral or the like before being incorporated into a SQL or psql command. (If an app fails to do so, the same technique can be used to cause SQL injection, with probably much more dire consequences than a mere client-program crash.) Those functions were already made proof against this class of problem, cf CVE-2006-2313. To fix, invent PQmblenBounded() which is like PQmblen() except it won't return more than the number of bytes remaining in the string. In HEAD we can make this a new libpq function, as PQmblen() is. It seems imprudent to change libpq's API in stable branches though, so in the back branches define PQmblenBounded as a macro in the files that need it. (Note that just changing PQmblen's behavior would not be a good idea; notably, it would completely break the escaping functions' defense against this exact problem. So we just want a version for those callers that don't have any better way of handling this issue.) Per private report from houjingyi. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* In PostgresNode.pm, don't pass SQL to psql on the command lineAndrew Dunstan2021-06-03
| | | | | | | | | The Msys shell mangles certain patterns in its command line, so avoid handing arbitrary SQL to psql on the command line and instead use IPC::Run's redirection facility for stdin. This pattern is already mostly whats used, but query_poll_until() was not doing the right thing. Problem discovered on the buildfarm when a new TAP test failed on msys.
* Reduce risks of conflicts in internal queries of REFRESH MATVIEW CONCURRENTLYMichael Paquier2021-06-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The internal SQL queries used by REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW CONCURRENTLY include some aliases for its diff and temporary relations with rather-generic names: diff, newdata, newdata2 and mv. Depending on the queries used for the materialized view, using CONCURRENTLY could lead to some internal failures if the query and those internal aliases conflict. Those names have been chosen in 841c29c8. This commit switches instead to a naming pattern which is less likely going to cause conflicts, based on an idea from Thomas Munro, by appending _$ to those aliases. This is not perfect as those new names could still conflict, but at least it has the advantage to keep the code readable and simple while reducing the likelihood of conflicts to be close to zero.

* Ignore more environment variables in TAP testsMichael Paquier2021-06-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Various environment variables were not getting reset in the TAP tests, which would cause failures depending on the tests or the environment variables involved. For example, PGSSL{MAX,MIN}PROTOCOLVERSION could cause failures in the SSL tests. Even worse, a junk value of PGCLIENTENCODING makes a server startup fail. The list of variables reset is adjusted in each stable branch depending on what is supported. While on it, simplify a bit the code per a suggestion from Andrew Dunstan, using a list of variables instead of doing single deletions.

* Fix planner's row-mark code for inheritance from a foreign table.Tom Lane2021-06-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 428b260f8 broke planning of cases where row marks are needed (SELECT FOR UPDATE, etc) and one of the query's tables is a foreign table that has regular table(s) as inheritance children. We got the reverse case right, but apparently were thinking that foreign tables couldn't be inheritance parents. Not so; so we need to be able to add a CTID junk column while adding a new child, not only a wholerow junk column. Back-patch to v12 where the faulty code came in.

* Reject SELECT ... GROUP BY GROUPING SETS (()) FOR UPDATE.Tom Lane2021-06-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This case should be disallowed, just as FOR UPDATE with a plain GROUP BY is disallowed; FOR UPDATE only makes sense when each row of the query result can be identified with a single table row. However, we missed teaching CheckSelectLocking() to check groupingSets as well as groupClause, so that it would allow degenerate grouping sets. That resulted in a bad plan and a null-pointer dereference in the executor. Looking around for other instances of the same bug, the only one I found was in examine_simple_variable(). That'd just lead to silly estimates, but it should be fixed too. Per private report from Yaoguang Chen. Back-patch to all supported branches.
* Add fallback implementation for setenv()Michael Paquier2021-06-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes the code compilation on Windows with MSVC and Kerberos, as a missing implementation of setenv() causes a compilation failure of the GSSAPI code. This was only reproducible when building the code with Kerberos, something that buildfarm animal hamerkop has fixed recently. This issue only happens on 12 and 13, as this code has been introduced in b0b39f7. HEAD is already able to compile properly thanks to 7ca37fb0, and this commit is a minimal cherry-pick of it.

* Fix mis-planning of repeated application of a projection.Tom Lane2021-05-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | create_projection_plan contains a hidden assumption (here made explicit by an Assert) that a projection-capable Path will yield a projection-capable Plan. Unfortunately, that assumption is violated only a few lines away, by create_projection_plan itself. This means that two stacked ProjectionPaths can yield an outcome where we try to jam the upper path's tlist into a non-projection-capable child node, resulting in an invalid plan. There isn't any good reason to have stacked ProjectionPaths; indeed the whole concept is faulty, since the set of Vars/Aggs/etc needed by the upper one wouldn't necessarily be available in the output of the lower one, nor could the lower one create such values if they weren't available from its input. Hence, we can fix this by adjusting create_projection_path to strip any top-level ProjectionPath from the subpath it's given. (This amounts to saying "oh, we changed our minds about what we need to project here".) The test case added here only fails in v13 and HEAD; before that, we don't attempt to shove the Sort into the parallel part of the plan, for reasons that aren't entirely clear to me. However, all the directly-related code looks generally the same as far back as v11, where the hazard was introduced (by d7c19e62a). So I've got no faith that the same type of bug doesn't exist in v11 and v12, given the right test case. Hence, back-patch the code changes, but not the irrelevant test case, into those branches.
