* Zero padding in replication origin's checkpointed on disk-state.Andres Freund2017-04-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This seems to be largely cosmetic, avoiding valgrind bleats and the like. The uninitialized padding influences the CRC of the on-disk entry, but because it's also used when verifying the CRC, that doesn't cause spurious failures. Backpatch nonetheless. It's a bit unfortunate that contrib/test_decoding/sql/replorigin.sql doesn't exercise the checkpoint path, but checkpoints are fairly expensive on weaker machines, and we'd have to stop/start for that to be meaningful. Author: Andres Freund Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20170422183123.w2jgiuxtts7qrqaq@alap3.anarazel.de Backpatch: 9.5, where replication origins were introduced
* Fix order of arguments to SubTransSetParent().Tom Lane2017-04-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | ProcessTwoPhaseBuffer (formerly StandbyRecoverPreparedTransactions) mixed up the parent and child XIDs when calling SubTransSetParent to record the transactions' relationship in pg_subtrans. Remarkably, analysis by Simon Riggs suggests that this doesn't lead to visible problems (at least, not in non-Assert builds). That might explain why we'd not noticed it before. Nonetheless, it's surely wrong. This code was born broken, so back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20110.1492905318@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Avoid depending on non-POSIX behavior of fcntl(2).Tom Lane2017-04-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The POSIX standard does not say that the success return value for fcntl(F_SETFD) and fcntl(F_SETFL) is zero; it says only that it's not -1. We had several calls that were making the stronger assumption. Adjust them to test specifically for -1 for strict spec compliance. The standard further leaves open the possibility that the O_NONBLOCK flag bit is not the only active one in F_SETFL's argument. Formally, therefore, one ought to get the current flags with F_GETFL and store them back with only the O_NONBLOCK bit changed when trying to change the nonblock state. In port/noblock.c, we were doing the full pushup in pg_set_block but not in pg_set_noblock, which is just weird. Make both of them do it properly, since they have little business making any assumptions about the socket they're handed. The other places where we're issuing F_SETFL are working with FDs we just got from pipe(2), so it's reasonable to assume the FDs' properties are all default, so I didn't bother adding F_GETFL steps there. Also, while pg_set_block deserves some points for trying to do things right, somebody had decided that it'd be even better to cast fcntl's third argument to "long". Which is completely loony, because POSIX clearly says the third argument for an F_SETFL call is "int". Given the lack of field complaints, these missteps apparently are not of significance on any common platforms. But they're still wrong, so back-patch to all supported branches.

* Always build a custom plan node's targetlist from the path's pathtarget.Tom Lane2017-04-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We were applying the use_physical_tlist optimization to all relation scan plans, even those implemented by custom scan providers. However, that's a bad idea for a couple of reasons. The custom provider might be unable to provide columns that it hadn't expected to be asked for (for example, the custom scan might depend on an index-only scan). Even more to the point, there's no good reason to suppose that this "optimization" is a win for a custom scan; whatever the custom provider is doing is likely not based on simply returning physical heap tuples. (As a counterexample, if the custom scan is an interface to a column store, demanding all columns would be a huge loss.) If it is a win, the custom provider could make that decision for itself and insert a suitable pathtarget into the path, anyway. Per discussion with Dmitry Ivanov. Back-patch to 9.5 where custom scan support was introduced. The argument that the custom provider can adjust the behavior by changing the pathtarget only applies to 9.6+, but on balance it seems more likely that use_physical_tlist will hurt custom scans than help them.

* Provide a way to control SysV shmem attach address in EXEC_BACKEND builds.Tom Lane2017-04-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In standard non-Windows builds, there's no particular reason to care what address the kernel chooses to map the shared memory segment at. However, when building with EXEC_BACKEND, there's a risk that the chosen address won't be available in all child processes. Linux with ASLR enabled (which it is by default) seems particularly at risk because it puts shmem segments into the same area where it maps shared libraries. We can work around that by specifying a mapping address that's outside the range where shared libraries could get mapped. On x86_64 Linux, 0x7e0000000000 seems to work well. This is only meant for testing/debugging purposes, so it doesn't seem necessary to go as far as providing a GUC (or any user-visible documentation, though we might change that later). Instead, it's just controlled by setting an environment variable PG_SHMEM_ADDR to the desired attach address. Back-patch to all supported branches, since the point here is to remove intermittent buildfarm failures on EXEC_BACKEND animals. Owners of affected animals will need to add a suitable setting of PG_SHMEM_ADDR to their build_env configuration. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/7036.1492231361@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Fix regexport.c to behave sanely with lookaround constraints.Tom Lane2017-04-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | regexport.c thought it could just ignore LACON arcs, but the correct behavior is to treat them as satisfiable while consuming zero input (rather reminiscently of commit 9f1e642d5). Otherwise, the emitted simplified-NFA representation may contain no paths leading from initial to final state, which unsurprisingly confuses pg_trgm, as seen in bug #14623 from Jeff Janes. Since regexport's output representation has no concept of an arc that consumes zero input, recurse internally to find the next normal arc(s) after any LACON transitions. We'd be forced into changing that representation if a LACON could be the last arc reaching the final state, but fortunately the regex library never builds NFAs with such a configuration, so there always is a next normal arc. Back-patch to 9.3 where this logic was introduced. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20170413180503.25948.94871@wrigleys.postgresql.org
* Improve castNode notation by introducing list-extraction-specific variants.Tom Lane2017-04-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This extends the castNode() notation introduced by commit 5bcab1114 to provide, in one step, extraction of a list cell's pointer and coercion to a concrete node type. For example, "lfirst_node(Foo, lc)" is the same as "castNode(Foo, lfirst(lc))". Almost half of the uses of castNode that have appeared so far include a list extraction call, so this is pretty widely useful, and it saves a few more keystrokes compared to the old way. As with the previous patch, back-patch the addition of these macros to pg_list.h, so that the notation will be available when back-patching. Patch by me, after an idea of Andrew Gierth's.

* Remove dead code and fix comments in fast-path function handling.Heikki Linnakangas2017-04-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | HandleFunctionRequest() is no longer responsible for reading the protocol message from the client, since commit 2b3a8b20c2. Fix the outdated comments. HandleFunctionRequest() now always returns 0, because the code that used to return EOF was moved in 2b3a8b20c2. Therefore, the caller no longer needs to check the return value. Reported by Andres Freund. Backpatch to all supported versions, even though this doesn't have any user-visible effect, to make backporting future patches in this area easier.

* Fix integer-overflow problems in interval comparison.Tom Lane2017-04-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When using integer timestamps, the interval-comparison functions tried to compute the overall magnitude of an interval as an int64 number of microseconds. As reported by Frazer McLean, this overflows for intervals exceeding about 296000 years, which is bad since we nominally allow intervals many times larger than that. That results in wrong comparison results, and possibly in corrupted btree indexes for columns containing such large interval values. To fix, compute the magnitude as int128 instead. Although some compilers have native support for int128 calculations, many don't, so create our own support functions that can do 128-bit addition and multiplication if the compiler support isn't there. These support functions are designed with an eye to allowing the int128 code paths in numeric.c to be rewritten for use on all platforms, although this patch doesn't do that, or even provide all the int128 primitives that will be needed for it. Back-patch as far as 9.4. Earlier releases did not guard against overflow of interval values at all (commit 146604ec4 fixed that), so it seems not very exciting to worry about overly-large intervals for them. Before 9.6, we did not assume that unreferenced "static inline" functions would not draw compiler warnings, so omit functions not directly referenced by timestamp.c, the only present consumer of int128.h. (We could have omitted these functions in HEAD too, but since they were written and debugged on the way to the present patch, and they look likely to be needed by numeric.c, let's keep them in HEAD.) I did not bother to try to prevent such warnings in a --disable-integer-datetimes build, though. Before 9.5, configure will never define HAVE_INT128, so the part of int128.h that exploits a native int128 implementation is dead code in the 9.4 branch. I didn't bother to remove it, thinking that keeping the file looking similar in different branches is more useful. In HEAD only, add a simple test harness for int128.h in src/tools/. In back branches, this does not change the float-timestamps code path. That's not subject to the same kind of overflow risk, since it computes the interval magnitude as float8. (No doubt, when this code was originally written, overflow was disregarded for exactly that reason.) There is a precision hazard instead :-(, but we'll avert our eyes from that question, since no complaints have been reported and that code's deprecated anyway.

* Don't use bgw_main even to specify in-core bgworker entrypoints.Robert Haas2017-03-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On EXEC_BACKEND builds, this can fail if ASLR is in use. Backpatch to 9.5. On master, completely remove the bgw_main field completely, since there is no situation in which it is safe for an EXEC_BACKEND build. On 9.6 and 9.5, leave the field intact to avoid breaking things for third-party code that doesn't care about working under EXEC_BACKEND. Prior to 9.5, there are no in-core bgworker entrypoints.

* Suppress implicit-conversion warnings seen with newer clang versions.Tom Lane2017-03-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We were assigning values near 255 through "char *" pointers. On machines where char is signed, that's not entirely kosher, and it's reasonable for compilers to warn about it. A better solution would be to change the pointer type to "unsigned char *", but that would be vastly more invasive. For the moment, let's just apply this simple backpatchable solution.

* Fix unportable disregard of alignment requirements in RADIUS code.Tom Lane2017-03-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The compiler is entitled to store a char[] local variable with no particular alignment requirement. Our RADIUS code cavalierly took such a local variable and cast its address to a struct type that does have alignment requirements. On an alignment-picky machine this would lead to bus errors. To fix, declare the local variable honestly, and then cast its address to char * for use in the I/O calls. Given the lack of field complaints, there must be very few if any people affected; but nonetheless this is a clear portability issue, so back-patch to all supported branches. Noted while looking at a Coverity complaint in the same code.
* Revert Windows service check refactoring, and replace with a different fix.Heikki Linnakangas2017-03-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit 38bdba54a64bacec78e3266f0848b0b4a824132a, "Fix and simplify check for whether we're running as Windows service". It turns out that older versions of MinGW - like that on buildfarm member narwhal - do not support the CheckTokenMembership() function. This replaces the refactoring with a much smaller fix, to add a check for SE_GROUP_ENABLED to pgwin32_is_service(). Only apply to back-branches, and keep the refactoring in HEAD. It's unlikely that anyone is still really using such an old version of MinGW - aside from narwhal - but let's not change the minimum requirements in minor releases.

* Fix and simplify check for whether we're running as Windows service.Heikki Linnakangas2017-03-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the process token contains SECURITY_SERVICE_RID, but it has been disabled by the SE_GROUP_USE_FOR_DENY_ONLY attribute, win32_is_service() would incorrectly report that we're running as a service. That situation arises, e.g. if postmaster is launched with a restricted security token, with the "Log in as Service" privilege explicitly removed. Replace the broken code with CheckProcessTokenMembership(), which does this correctly. Also replace similar code in win32_is_admin(), even though it got this right, for simplicity and consistency.

* Avoid having vacuum set reltuples to 0 on non-empty relations in theAndrew Gierth2017-03-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | presence of page pins, which leads to serious estimation errors in the planner. This particularly affects small heavily-accessed tables, especially where locking (e.g. from FK constraints) forces frequent vacuums for mxid cleanup. Fix by keeping separate track of pages whose live tuples were actually counted vs. pages that were only scanned for freezing purposes. Thus, reltuples can only be set to 0 if all pages of the relation were actually counted. Backpatch to all supported versions. Per bug #14057 from Nicolas Baccelli, analyzed by me.

* Remove unnecessary dependency on statement_timeout in prepared_xacts test.Tom Lane2017-03-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rather than waiting around for statement_timeout to expire, we can just try to take the table's lock in nowait mode. This saves some fraction under 4 seconds when running this test with prepared xacts available, and it guards against timeout-expired-anyway failures on very slow machines when prepared xacts are not available, as seen in a recent failure on axolotl for instance. This approach could fail if autovacuum were to take an exclusive lock on the test table concurrently, but there's no reason for it to do so. Since the main point here is to improve stability in the buildfarm, back-patch to all supported branches.
* Ecpg should support COMMIT PREPARED and ROLLBACK PREPARED.Michael Meskes2017-03-13

* Sanitize newlines in object names in "pg_restore -l" output.Tom Lane2017-03-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commits 89e0bac86 et al replaced newlines with spaces in object names printed in SQL comments, but we neglected to consider that the same names are also printed by "pg_restore -l", and a newline would render the output unparseable by "pg_restore -L". Apply the same replacement in "-l" output. Since "pg_restore -L" doesn't actually examine any object names, only the dump ID field that starts each line, this is enough to fix things for its purposes. The previous fix was treated as a security issue, and we might have done that here as well, except that the issue was reported publicly to start with. Anyway it's hard to see how this could be exploited for SQL injection; "pg_restore -L" doesn't do much with the file except parse it for leading integers. Per bug #14587 from Milos Urbanek.

* Fix timestamptz regression test to still work with latest IANA zone data.Tom Lane2017-03-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The IANA timezone crew continues to chip away at their project of removing timezone abbreviations that have no real-world currency from their database. The tzdata2017a update removes all such abbreviations for South American zones, as well as much of the Pacific. This breaks some test cases in timestamptz.sql that were expecting America/Santiago and America/Caracas to have non-numeric abbreviations. The test cases involving America/Santiago seem to have selected that zone more or less at random, so just replace it with America/New_York, which is of similar longitude. The cases involving America/Caracas are harder since they were chosen to test a time-varying zone abbreviation around a point where it changed meaning in the backwards direction. Fortunately, Europe/Moscow has a similar case in 2014, and the MSK/MSD abbreviations are well enough attested that IANA seems unlikely to decide to remove them from the database in future. With these changes, this regression test should pass when using any IANA zone database from 2015 or later. One could wish that there were a few years more daylight on how out-of-date your zone database can be ... but really the --with-system-tzdata option is only meant for use on platforms where the zone database is kept up-to-date pretty faithfully, so I do not think this is a big objection.

* Use doubly-linked block lists in aset.c to reduce large-chunk overhead.Tom Lane2017-03-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Large chunks (those too large for any palloc freelist) are managed as separate blocks. Formerly, realloc'ing or pfree'ing such a chunk required O(N) time in a context with N blocks, since we had to traipse down the singly-linked block list to locate the block's predecessor before we could fix the list links. This can result in O(N^2) runtime in situations where large numbers of such chunks are manipulated within one context. Cases like that were not foreseen in the original design of aset.c, and indeed didn't arise until fairly recently. But such problems can now occur in reorderbuffer.c and in hash joining, both of which make repeated large requests without scaling up their request size as they do so, and which will free their requests in not-necessarily-LIFO order. To fix, change the block list from singly-linked to doubly-linked. This adds another 4 or 8 bytes to ALLOC_BLOCKHDRSZ, but that doesn't seem like unacceptable overhead, since aset.c's blocks are normally 8K or more, and never less than 1K in current practice. In passing, get rid of some redundant AllocChunkGetPointer() calls in AllocSetRealloc (the compiler might be smart enough to optimize these away anyway, but no need to assume that) and improve AllocSetCheck's checking of block header fields. Back-patch to 9.4 where reorderbuffer.c appeared. We could take this further back, but currently there's no evidence that it would be useful.

* Repair incorrect pg_dump labeling for some comments and security labels.Tom Lane2017-03-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We attached no schema label to comments for procedural languages, casts, transforms, operator classes, operator families, or text search objects. The first three categories of objects don't really have schemas, but pg_dump treats them as if they do, and it seems like the TocEntry fields for their comments had better match the TocEntry fields for the parent objects. (As an example of a possible hazard, the type names in a CAST will be formatted with the assumption of a particular search_path, so failing to ensure that this same path is active for the COMMENT ON command could lead to an error or to attaching the comment to the wrong cast.) In the last six cases, this was a flat-out error --- possibly mine to begin with, but it was a long time ago. The security label for a procedural language was likewise not correctly labeled as to schema, and both the comment and security label for a procedural language were not correctly labeled as to owner. In simple cases the restore would accidentally work correctly anyway, since these comments and security labels would normally get emitted right after the owning object, and so the search path and active user would be correct anyhow. But it could fail in corner cases; for example a schema-selective restore would omit comments it should include. Giuseppe Broccolo noted the oversight, and proposed the correct fix, for text search dictionary objects; I found the rest by cross-checking other dumpComment() calls. These oversights are ancient, so back-patch all the way. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAFzmHiWwwzLjzwM4x5ki5s_PDMR6NrkipZkjNnO3B0xEpBgJaA@mail.gmail.com
* pg_upgrade: Fix large object COMMENTS, SECURITY LABELSStephen Frost2017-03-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When performing a pg_upgrade, we copy the files behind pg_largeobject and pg_largeobject_metadata, allowing us to avoid having to dump out and reload the actual data for large objects and their ACLs. Unfortunately, that isn't all of the information which can be associated with large objects. Currently, we also support COMMENTs and SECURITY LABELs with large objects and these were being silently dropped during a pg_upgrade as pg_dump would skip everything having to do with a large object and pg_upgrade only copied the tables mentioned to the new cluster. As the file copies happen after the catalog dump and reload, we can't simply include the COMMENTs and SECURITY LABELs in pg_dump's binary-mode output but we also have to include the actual large object definition as well. With the definition, comments, and security labels in the pg_dump output and the file copies performed by pg_upgrade, all of the data and metadata associated with large objects is able to be successfully pulled forward across a pg_upgrade. In 9.6 and master, we can simply adjust the dump bitmask to indicate which components we don't want. In 9.5 and earlier, we have to put explciit checks in in dumpBlob() and dumpBlobs() to not include the ACL or the data when in binary-upgrade mode. Adjustments made to the privileges regression test to allow another test (large_object.sql) to be added which explicitly leaves a large object with a comment in place to provide coverage of that case with pg_upgrade.

* Avoid dangling pointer to relation name in RLS code path in DoCopy().Tom Lane2017-03-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With RLS active, "COPY tab TO ..." failed under -DRELCACHE_FORCE_RELEASE, and would sometimes fail without that, because it used the relation name directly from the relcache as part of the parsetree it's building. That becomes a potentially-dangling pointer as soon as the relcache entry is closed, a bit further down. Typical symptom if the relcache entry chanced to get cleared would be "relation does not exist" error with a garbage relation name, or possibly a core dump; but if you were really truly unlucky, the COPY might copy from the wrong table. Per report from Andrew Dunstan that regression tests fail with -DRELCACHE_FORCE_RELEASE. The core tests now pass for me (but have not tried "make check-world" yet).

Bug introduced by commit f41872d0c, and made substantially worse by commit 85b506bbf, which added a second such access significantly later than the heap_close.

To fix this issue, this commit changes walsender so that it always initialize them before it executes the requested replication command. Back-patch to 9.4 where replication slot was introduced.

* Fix sloppy handling of corner-case errors in fd.c.Tom Lane2017-02-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Several places in fd.c had badly-thought-through handling of error returns from lseek() and close(). The fact that those would seldom fail on valid FDs is probably the reason we've not noticed this up to now; but if they did fail, we'd get quite confused. LruDelete and LruInsert actually just Assert'd that lseek never fails, which is pretty awful on its face. In LruDelete, we indeed can't throw an error, because that's likely to get called during error abort and so throwing an error would probably just lead to an infinite loop. But by the same token, throwing an error from the close() right after that was ill-advised, not to mention that it would've left the LRU state corrupted since we'd already unlinked the VFD from the list. I also noticed that really, most of the time, we should know the current seek position and it shouldn't be necessary to do an lseek here at all. As patched, if we don't have a seek position and an lseek attempt doesn't give us one, we'll close the file but then subsequent re-open attempts will fail (except in the somewhat-unlikely case that a FileSeek(SEEK_SET) call comes between and allows us to re-establish a known target seek position). This isn't great but it won't result in any state corruption. Meanwhile, having an Assert instead of an honest test in LruInsert is really dangerous: if that lseek failed, a subsequent read or write would read or write from the start of the file, not where the caller expected, leading to data corruption. In both LruDelete and FileClose, if close() fails, just LOG that and mark the VFD closed anyway. Possibly leaking an FD is preferable to getting into an infinite loop or corrupting the VFD list. Besides, as far as I can tell from the POSIX spec, it's unspecified whether or not the file has been closed, so treating it as still open could be the wrong thing anyhow. I also fixed a number of other places that were being sloppy about behaving correctly when the seekPos is unknown. Also, I changed FileSeek to return -1 with EINVAL for the cases where it detects a bad offset, rather than throwing a hard elog(ERROR). It seemed pretty inconsistent that some bad-offset cases would get a failure return while others got elog(ERROR). It was missing an offset validity check for the SEEK_CUR case on a closed file, too. Back-patch to all supported branches, since all this code is fundamentally identical in all of them. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/2982.1487617365@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Make src/interfaces/libpq/test clean up after itself.Tom Lane2017-02-19

* Adjust PL/Tcl regression test to dodge a possible bug or zone dependency.Tom Lane2017-02-19
| | | | | | | | | | | One case in the PL/Tcl tests is observed to fail on RHEL5 with a Turkish time zone setting. It's not clear if this is an old Tcl bug or something odd about the zone data, but in any case that test is meant to see if the Tcl [clock] command works at all, not what its corner-case behaviors are. Therefore we have no need to test exactly which week a Sunday midnight is considered to fall into. Probe the following Tuesday instead. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/797.1487517822@sss.pgh.pa.us

* Formatting and docs corrections for logical decoding output plugins.Tom Lane2017-02-15
| | | | | | | | | Make the typedefs for output plugins consistent with project style; they were previously not even consistent with each other as to layout or inclusion of parameter names. Make the documentation look the same, and fix errors therein (missing and misdescribed parameters). Back-patch because of the documentation bugs.
* Make sure that hash join's bulk-tuple-transfer loops are interruptible.Tom Lane2017-02-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The loops in ExecHashJoinNewBatch(), ExecHashIncreaseNumBatches(), and ExecHashRemoveNextSkewBucket() are all capable of iterating over many tuples without ever doing a CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS, so that the backend might fail to respond to SIGINT or SIGTERM for an unreasonably long time. Fix that. In the case of ExecHashJoinNewBatch(), it seems useful to put the added CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS into ExecHashJoinGetSavedTuple() rather than directly in the loop, because that will also ensure that both principal code paths through ExecHashJoinOuterGetTuple() will do a CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS, which seems like a good idea to avoid surprises. Back-patch to all supported branches. Tom Lane and Thomas Munro Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/6044.1487121720@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Fix YA unwanted behavioral difference with operator_precedence_warning.Tom Lane2017-02-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Jeff Janes noted that the error cursor position shown for some errors would vary when operator_precedence_warning is turned on. We'd prefer that option to have no undocumented effects, so this isn't desirable. To fix, make sure that an AEXPR_PAREN node has the same exprLocation as its child node. (Note: it would be a little cheaper to use @2 here instead of an exprLocation call, but there are cases where that wouldn't produce the identical answer, so don't do it like that.) Back-patch to 9.5 where this feature was introduced. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAMkU=1ykK+VhhcQ4Ky8KBo9FoaUJH3f3rDQB8TkTXi-ZsBRUkQ@mail.gmail.com
* Ignore tablespace ACLs when ignoring schema ACLs.Noah Misch2017-02-12
| | | | | | | | | | | The ALTER TABLE ALTER TYPE implementation can issue DROP INDEX and CREATE INDEX to refit existing indexes for the new column type. Since this CREATE INDEX is an implementation detail of an index alteration, the ensuing DefineIndex() should skip ACL checks specific to index creation. It already skips the namespace ACL check. Make it skip the tablespace ACL check, too. Back-patch to 9.2 (all supported versions). Reviewed by Tom Lane.
* Blind try to fix portability issue in commit 8f93bd851 et al.Tom Lane2017-02-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The S/390 members of the buildfarm are showing failures indicating that they're having trouble with the rint() calls I added yesterday. There's no good reason for that, and I wonder if it is a compiler bug similar to the one we worked around in d9476b838. Try to fix it using the same method as before, namely to store the result of rint() back into a "double" variable rather than immediately converting to int64. (This isn't entirely waving a dead chicken, since on machines with wider-than-double float registers, the extra store forces a width conversion. I don't know if S/390 is like that, but it seems worth trying.) In passing, merge duplicate ereport() calls in float8_timestamptz(). Per buildfarm.
* Fix roundoff problems in float8_timestamptz() and make_interval().Tom Lane2017-02-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When converting a float value to integer microseconds, we should be careful to round the value to the nearest integer, typically with rint(); simply assigning to an int64 variable will truncate, causing apparently off-by-one values in cases that should work. Most places in the datetime code got this right, but not these two. float8_timestamptz() is new as of commit e511d878f (9.6). Previous versions effectively depended on interval_mul() to do roundoff correctly, which it does, so this fixes an accuracy regression in 9.6. The problem in make_interval() dates to its introduction in 9.4. Aside from being careful to round not truncate, let's incorporate the hours and minutes inputs into the result with exact integer arithmetic, rather than risk introducing roundoff error where there need not have been any. float8_timestamptz() problem reported by Erik Nordström, though this is not his proposed patch. make_interval() problem found by me.

* Avoid returning stale attribute bitmaps in RelationGetIndexAttrBitmap().Tom Lane2017-02-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The problem with the original coding here is that we might receive (and clear) a relcache invalidation signal for the target relation down inside one of the index_open calls we're doing. Since the target is open, we would not drop the relcache entry, just reset its rd_indexvalid and rd_indexlist fields. But RelationGetIndexAttrBitmap() kept going, and would eventually cache and return potentially-obsolete attribute bitmaps. The case where this matters is where the inval signal was from a CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY telling us about a new index on a formerly-unindexed column. (In all other cases, the lock we hold on the target rel should prevent any concurrent change in index state.) Even just returning the stale attribute bitmap is not such a problem, because it shouldn't matter during the transaction in which we receive the signal. What hurts is caching the stale data, because it can survive into later transactions, breaking CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY's expectation that later transactions will not create new broken HOT chains. The upshot is that there's a window for building corrupted indexes during CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY. This patch fixes the problem by rechecking that the set of index OIDs is still the same at the end of RelationGetIndexAttrBitmap() as it was at the start. If not, we loop back and try again. That's a little more than is strictly necessary to fix the bug --- in principle, we could return the stale data but not cache it --- but it seems like a bad idea on general principles for relcache to return data it knows is stale. There might be more hazards of the same ilk, or there might be a better way to fix this one, but this patch definitely improves matters and seems unlikely to make anything worse. So let's push it into today's releases even as we continue to study the problem.
