* Clarify when to use PageSetLSN/PageGetLSN().Simon Riggs2012-12-03
| | | | | | | Update README to explain prerequisites for correct access to LSN fields of a page. Independent chunk removed from checksums patch to reduce size of patch.
* Refactor the code implementing standby-mode logic.Heikki Linnakangas2012-12-03
| | | | | It is now easier to see that it's a state machine, making the code easier to understand overall.
* Add mode where contrib installcheck runs each module in a separately named ↵Andrew Dunstan2012-12-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | database. Normally each module is tested in aq database named contrib_regression, which is dropped and recreated at the beginhning of each pg_regress run. This mode, enabled by adding USE_MODULE_DB=1 to the make command line, runs most modules in a database with the module name embedded in it. This will make testing pg_upgrade on clusters with the contrib modules a lot easier. Still to be done: adapt to the MSVC build system. Backpatch to 9.0, which is the earliest version it is reasonably possible to test upgrading from.
* Update time zone data files to tzdata release 2012j.Tom Lane2012-12-02
| | | | | DST law changes in Cuba, Israel, Jordan, Libya, Palestine, Western Samoa, and portions of Brazil.
* Reduce scope of changes for COPY FREEZE.Simon Riggs2012-12-02
| | | | | | | | Allow support only for freezing tuples by explicit command. Previous coding mistakenly extended slightly beyond what was agreed as correct on -hackers. So essentially a partial revoke of earlier work, leaving just the COPY FREEZE command.
* Don't advance checkPoint.nextXid near the end of a checkpoint sequence.Tom Lane2012-12-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit c11130690d6dca64267201a169cfb38c1adec5ef in favor of actually fixing the problem: namely, that we should never have been modifying the checkpoint record's nextXid at this point to begin with. The nextXid should match the state as of the checkpoint's logical WAL position (ie the redo point), not the state as of its physical position. It's especially bogus to advance it in some wal_levels and not others. In any case there is no need for the checkpoint record to carry the same nextXid shown in the XLOG_RUNNING_XACTS record just emitted by LogStandbySnapshot, as any replay operation will already have adopted that value as current. This fixes bug #7710 from Tarvi Pillessaar, and probably also explains bug #6291 from Daniel Farina, in that if a checkpoint were in progress at the instant of XID wraparound, the epoch bump would be lost as reported. (And, of course, these days there's at least a 50-50 chance of a checkpoint being in progress at any given instant.) Diagnosed by me and independently by Andres Freund. Back-patch to all branches supporting hot standby.
* Rearrange storage of data in xl_running_xacts.Simon Riggs2012-12-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously we stored all xids mixed together. Now we store top-level xids first, followed by all subxids. Also skip logging any subxids if the snapshot is suboverflowed, since there are potentially large numbers of them and they are not useful in that case anyway. Has value in the envisaged design for decoding of WAL. No planned effect on Hot Standby. Andres Freund, reviewed by me
* XidEpoch++ if wraparound during checkpoint.Simon Riggs2012-12-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If wal_level = hot_standby we update the checkpoint nextxid, though in the case where a wraparound occurred half-way through a checkpoint we would neglect updating the epoch also. Updating the nextxid is arguably the wrong thing to do, but changing that may introduce subtle bugs into hot standby startup, while updating the value doesn't cause any known bugs yet. Minimal fix now to HEAD and backbranches, wider fix later in HEAD. Bug reported in #6291 by Daniel Farina and slightly differently in Cause analysis and recommended fixes from Tom Lane and Andres Freund. Applied patch is minimal version of Andres Freund's work.

* Prevent passing gmake's environment variables down through pg_regress.Tom Lane2012-12-01
| | | | | | | | | | | When we do "make install" to create a temp installation, we don't want that instance of make to try to communicate with any instance of make that might be calling us. This is known to cause problems if the upper make has a -jN flag, and in principle could cause problems even without that. Unset the relevant environment variables to prevent such issues. Andres Freund
* Make sure sharedir/extension/ directory is created when needed.Tom Lane2012-12-01
| | | | | | | | | The previous coding worked as long as MODULEDIR wasn't set explicitly, because we create sharedir/$(datamoduledir) and the default value of that is "extension". But if some other value is specified for MODULEDIR then the installation directory needed for the control file wasn't made. Cédric Villemain
* Allow adding values to an enum type created in the current transaction.Tom Lane2012-12-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Normally it is unsafe to allow ALTER TYPE ADD VALUE in a transaction block, because instances of the value could be added to indexes later in the same transaction, and then they would still be accessible even if the transaction rolls back. However, we can allow this if the enum type itself was created in the current transaction, because then any such indexes would have to go away entirely on rollback. The reason for allowing this is to support pg_upgrade's new usage of pg_restore --single-transaction: in --binary-upgrade mode, pg_dump emits enum types as a succession of ALTER TYPE ADD VALUE commands so that it can preserve the values' OIDs. The support is a bit limited, so we'll leave it undocumented. Andres Freund

* COPY FREEZE and mark committed on fresh tables.Simon Riggs2012-12-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a relfilenode is created in this subtransaction or a committed child transaction and it cannot otherwise be seen by our own process, mark tuples committed ahead of transaction commit for all COPY commands in same transaction. If FREEZE specified on COPY and pre-conditions met then rows will also be frozen. Both options designed to avoid revisiting rows after commit, increasing performance of subsequent commands after data load and upgrade. pg_restore changes later.

* Add missing buffer lock acquisition in GetTupleForTrigger().Tom Lane2012-11-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | If we had not been holding buffer pin continuously since the tuple was initially fetched by the UPDATE or DELETE query, it would be possible for VACUUM or a page-prune operation to move the tuple while we're trying to copy it. This would result in a garbage "old" tuple value being passed to an AFTER ROW UPDATE or AFTER ROW DELETE trigger. The preconditions for this are somewhat improbable, and the timing constraints are very tight; so it's not so surprising that this hasn't been reported from the field, even though the bug has been there a long time. Problem found by Andres Freund. Back-patch to all active branches.
* Add libpq function PQconninfo()Magnus Hagander2012-11-30
| | | | | | | | | | | This allows a caller to get back the exact conninfo array that was used to create a connection, including parameters read from the environment. In doing this, restructure how options are copied from the conninfo to the actual connection. Zoltan Boszormenyi and Magnus Hagander
* Produce a more useful error message for over-length Unix socket paths.Tom Lane2012-11-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The length of a socket path name is constrained by the size of struct sockaddr_un, and there's not a lot we can do about it since that is a kernel API. However, it would be a good thing if we produced an intelligible error message when the user specifies a socket path that's too long --- and getaddrinfo's standard API is too impoverished to do this in the natural way. So insert explicit tests at the places where we construct a socket path name. Now you'll get an error that makes sense and even tells you what the limit is, rather than something generic like "Non-recoverable failure in name resolution". Per trouble report from Jeremy Drake and a fix idea from Andrew Dunstan.

* Suppress parallel build in interfaces/ecpg/preproc/.Tom Lane2012-11-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is to see if it will stop intermittent build failures on buildfarm member okapi. We know that gmake 3.82 has some problems with sometimes not honoring dependencies in parallel builds, and it seems likely that this is more of the same. Since the vast bulk of the work in the preproc directory is associated with creating preproc.c and then preproc.o, parallelism buys us hardly anything here anyway. Also, make both this .NOTPARALLEL and the one previously added in interfaces/ecpg/Makefile be conditional on "ifeq ($(MAKE_VERSION),3.82)". The known bug in gmake is fixed upstream and should not be present in 3.83 and up, and there's no reason to think it affects older releases.
* Fix assorted bugs in CREATE/DROP INDEX CONCURRENTLY.Tom Lane2012-11-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 8cb53654dbdb4c386369eb988062d0bbb6de725e, which introduced DROP INDEX CONCURRENTLY, managed to break CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY via a poor choice of catalog state representation. The pg_index state for an index that's reached the final pre-drop stage was the same as the state for an index just created by CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY. This meant that the (necessary) change to make RelationGetIndexList ignore about-to-die indexes also made it ignore freshly-created indexes; which is catastrophic because the latter do need to be considered in HOT-safety decisions. Failure to do so leads to incorrect index entries and subsequently wrong results from queries depending on the concurrently-created index. To fix, add an additional boolean column "indislive" to pg_index, so that the freshly-created and about-to-die states can be distinguished. (This change obviously is only possible in HEAD. This patch will need to be back-patched, but in 9.2 we'll use a kluge consisting of overloading the formerly-impossible state of indisvalid = true and indisready = false.) In addition, change CREATE/DROP INDEX CONCURRENTLY so that the pg_index flag changes they make without exclusive lock on the index are made via heap_inplace_update() rather than a normal transactional update. The latter is not very safe because moving the pg_index tuple could result in concurrent SnapshotNow scans finding it twice or not at all, thus possibly resulting in index corruption. This is a pre-existing bug in CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY, which was copied into the DROP code. In addition, fix various places in the code that ought to check to make sure that the indexes they are manipulating are valid and/or ready as appropriate. These represent bugs that have existed since 8.2, since a failed CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY could leave a corrupt or invalid index behind, and we ought not try to do anything that might fail with such an index. Also fix RelationReloadIndexInfo to ensure it copies all the pg_index columns that are allowed to change after initial creation. Previously we could have been left with stale values of some fields in an index relcache entry. It's not clear whether this actually had any user-visible consequences, but it's at least a bug waiting to happen. In addition, do some code and docs review for DROP INDEX CONCURRENTLY; some cosmetic code cleanup but mostly addition and revision of comments. This will need to be back-patched, but in a noticeably different form, so I'm committing it to HEAD before working on the back-patch. Problem reported by Amit Kapila, diagnosis by Pavan Deolassee, fix by Tom Lane and Andres Freund.
* Split out rmgr rm_desc functions into their own filesAlvaro Herrera2012-11-28

* If we don't have a backup-end-location, don't claim we've reached it.Heikki Linnakangas2012-11-28
| | | | | | | | This was apparently a typo, which caused recovery to think that it immediately reached the end of backup, and allowed the database to start up too early. Reported by Jeff Janes. Backpatch to 9.2, where this code was introduced.
* Add explicit casts in ilist.h's inline functions.Tom Lane2012-11-27

* Add OpenTransientFile, with automatic cleanup at end-of-xact.Heikki Linnakangas2012-11-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Files opened with BasicOpenFile or PathNameOpenFile are not automatically cleaned up on error. That puts unnecessary burden on callers that only want to keep the file open for a short time. There is AllocateFile, but that returns a buffered FILE * stream, which in many cases is not the nicest API to work with. So add function called OpenTransientFile, which returns a unbuffered fd that's cleaned up like the FILE* returned by AllocateFile(). This plugs a few rare fd leaks in error cases: 1. copy_file() - fixed by by using OpenTransientFile instead of BasicOpenFile 2. XLogFileInit() - fixed by adding close() calls to the error cases. Can't use OpenTransientFile here because the fd is supposed to persist over transaction boundaries. 3. lo_import/lo_export - fixed by using OpenTransientFile instead of PathNameOpenFile. In addition to plugging those leaks, this replaces many BasicOpenFile() calls with OpenTransientFile() that were not leaking, because the code meticulously closed the file on error. That wasn't strictly necessary, but IMHO it's good for robustness. The same leaks exist in older versions, but given the rarity of the issues, I'm not backpatching this. Not yet, anyway - it might be good to backpatch later, after this mechanism has had some more testing in master branch.
* Revert patch for taking fewer snapshots.Tom Lane2012-11-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit d573e239f03506920938bf0be56c868d9c3416da, "Take fewer snapshots". While that seemed like a good idea at the time, it caused execution to use a snapshot that had been acquired before locking any of the tables mentioned in the query. This created user-visible anomalies that were not present in any prior release of Postgres, as reported by Tomas Vondra. While this whole area could do with a redesign (since there are related cases that have anomalies anyway), it doesn't seem likely that any future patch would be reasonably back-patchable; and we don't want 9.2 to exhibit a behavior that's subtly unlike either past or future releases. Hence, revert to prior code while we rethink the problem.
* Fix SELECT DISTINCT with index-optimized MIN/MAX on inheritance trees.Tom Lane2012-11-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In a query such as "SELECT DISTINCT min(x) FROM tab", the DISTINCT is pretty useless (there being only one output row), but nonetheless it shouldn't fail. But it could fail if "tab" is an inheritance parent, because planagg.c's code for fixing up equivalence classes after making the index-optimized MIN/MAX transformation wasn't prepared to find child-table versions of the aggregate expression. The least ugly fix seems to be to add an option to mutate_eclass_expressions() to skip child-table equivalence class members, which aren't used anymore at this stage of planning so it's not really necessary to fix them. Since child members are ignored in many cases already, it seems plausible for mutate_eclass_expressions() to have an option to ignore them too. Per bug #7703 from Maxim Boguk. Back-patch to 9.1. Although the same code exists before that, it cannot encounter child-table aggregates AFAICS, because the index optimization transformation cannot succeed on inheritance trees before 9.1 (for lack of MergeAppend).

* Fix pg_resetxlog to use correct path to postmaster.pid.Tom Lane2012-11-22
| | | | | | | | | | | Since we've already chdir'd into the data directory, the file should be referenced as just "postmaster.pid", without prefixing the directory path. This is harmless in the normal case where an absolute PGDATA path is used, but quite dangerous if a relative path is specified, since the program might then fail to notice an active postmaster. Reported by Hari Babu. This got broken in my commit eb5949d190e80360386113fde0f05854f0c9824d, so patch all active versions.
* Avoid bogus "out-of-sequence timeline ID" errors in standby-mode.Heikki Linnakangas2012-11-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When startup process opens a WAL segment after replaying part of it, it validates the first page on the WAL segment, even though the page it's really interested in later in the file. As part of the validation, it checks that the TLI on the page header is >= the TLI it saw on the last page it read. If the segment contains a timeline switch, and we have already replayed it, and then re-open the WAL segment (because of streaming replication got disconnected and reconnected, for example), the TLI check will fail when the first page is validated. Fix that by relaxing the TLI check when re-opening a WAL segment. Backpatch to 9.0. Earlier versions had the same code, but before standby mode was introduced in 9.0, recovery never tried to re-read a segment after partially replaying it. Reported by Amit Kapila, while testing a new feature.
* Don't launch new child processes after we've been told to shut down.Tom Lane2012-11-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Once we've received a shutdown signal (SIGINT or SIGTERM), we should not launch any more child processes, even if we get signals requesting such. The normal code path for spawning backends has always understood that, but the postmaster's infrastructure for hot standby and autovacuum didn't get the memo. As reported by Hari Babu in bug #7643, this could lead to failure to shut down at all in some cases, such as when SIGINT is received just before the startup process sends PMSIGNAL_RECOVERY_STARTED: we'd launch a bgwriter and checkpointer, and then those processes would have no idea that they ought to quit. Similarly, launching a new autovacuum worker would result in waiting till it finished before shutting down. Also, switch the order of the code blocks in reaper() that detect startup process crash versus shutdown termination. Once we've sent it a signal, we should not consider that exit(1) is surprising. This is just a cosmetic fix since shutdown occurs correctly anyway, but better not to log a phony complaint about startup process crash. Back-patch to 9.0. Some parts of this might be applicable before that, but given the lack of prior complaints I'm not going to worry too much about older branches.
* Speed up operations on numeric, mostly by avoiding palloc() overhead.Heikki Linnakangas2012-11-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In many functions, a NumericVar was initialized from an input Numeric, to be passed as input to a calculation function. When the NumericVar is not modified, the digits array of the NumericVar can point directly to the digits array in the original Numeric, and we can avoid a palloc() and memcpy(). Add init_var_from_num() function to initialize a var like that. Remove dscale argument from get_str_from_var(), as all the callers just passed the dscale of the variable. That means that the rounding it used to do was not actually necessary, and get_str_from_var() no longer scribbles on its input. That makes it safer in general, and allows us to use the new init_var_from_num() function in e.g numeric_out(). Also modified numericvar_to_int8() to no scribble on its input either. It creates a temporary copy to avoid that. To compensate, the callers no longer need to create a temporary copy, so the net # of pallocs is the same, but this is nicer. In the passing, use a constant for the number 10 in get_str_from_var_sci(), when calculating 10^exponent. Saves a palloc() and some cycles to convert integer 10 to numeric. Original patch by Kyotaro HORIGUCHI, with further changes by me. Reviewed by Pavel Stehule.
* Improve handling of INT_MIN / -1 and related cases.Tom Lane2012-11-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some platforms throw an exception for this division, rather than returning a necessarily-overflowed result. Since we were testing for overflow after the fact, an exception isn't nice. We can avoid the problem by treating division by -1 as negation. Add some regression tests so that we'll find out if any compilers try to optimize away the overflow check conditions. This ought to be back-patched, but I'm going to see what the buildfarm reports about the regression tests first. Per discussion with Xi Wang, though this is different from the patch he submitted.
* Fix archive_cleanup_command.Heikki Linnakangas2012-11-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When I moved ExecuteRecoveryCommand() from xlog.c to xlogarchive.c, I didn't realize that it's called from the checkpoint process, not the startup process. I tried to use InRedo variable to decide whether or not to attempt cleaning up the archive (must not do so before we have read the initial checkpoint record), but that variable is only valid within the startup process. Instead, let ExecuteRecoveryCommand() always clean up the archive, and add an explicit argument to RestoreArchivedFile() to say whether that's allowed or not. The caller knows better. Reported by Erik Rijkers, diagnosis by Fujii Masao. Only 9.3devel is affected.
* Limit values of archive_timeout, post_auth_delay, auth_delay.milliseconds.Tom Lane2012-11-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The previous definitions of these GUC variables allowed them to range up to INT_MAX, but in point of fact the underlying code would suffer overflows or other errors with large values. Reduce the maximum values to something that won't misbehave. There's no apparent value in working harder than this, since very large delays aren't sensible for any of these. (Note: the risk with archive_timeout is that if we're late checking the state, the timestamp difference it's being compared to might overflow. So we need some amount of slop; the choice of INT_MAX/2 is arbitrary.) Per followup investigation of bug #7670. Although this isn't a very significant fix, might as well back-patch.
* Fix syslogger to not fail when log_rotation_age exceeds 2^31 milliseconds.Tom Lane2012-11-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | We need to avoid calling WaitLatch with timeouts exceeding INT_MAX. Fortunately a simple clamp will do the trick, since no harm is done if the wait times out before it's really time to rotate the log file. Per bug #7670 (probably bug #7545 is the same thing, too). In passing, fix bogus definition of log_rotation_age's maximum value in guc.c --- it was numerically right, but only because MINS_PER_HOUR and SECS_PER_MINUTE have the same value. Back-patch to 9.2. Before that, syslogger wasn't using WaitLatch.
* Assert that WaitLatch's timeout is not more than INT_MAX milliseconds.Tom Lane2012-11-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | The behavior with larger values is unspecified by the Single Unix Spec. It appears that BSD-derived kernels report EINVAL, although Linux does not. If waiting for longer intervals is desired, the calling code has to do something to limit the delay; we can't portably fix it here since "long" may not be any wider than "int" in the first place. Part of response to bug #7670, though this change doesn't fix that (in fact, it converts the problem from an ERROR into an Assert failure). No back-patch since it's just an assertion addition.
* Improve check_partial_indexes() to consider join clauses in proof attempts.Tom Lane2012-11-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Traditionally check_partial_indexes() has only looked at restriction clauses while trying to prove partial indexes usable in queries. However, join clauses can also be used in some cases; mainly, that a strict operator on "x" proves an "x IS NOT NULL" index predicate, even if the operator is in a join clause rather than a restriction clause. Adding this code fixes a regression in 9.2, because previously we would take join clauses into account when considering whether a partial index could be used in a nestloop inner indexscan path. 9.2 doesn't handle nestloop inner indexscans in the same way, and this consideration was overlooked in the rewrite. Moving the work to check_partial_indexes() is a better solution anyway, since the proof applies whether or not we actually use the index in that particular way, and we don't have to do it over again for each possible outer relation. Per report from Dave Cramer.
* Fix the int8 and int2 cases of (minimum possible integer) % (-1).Tom Lane2012-11-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The correct answer for this (or any other case with arg2 = -1) is zero, but some machines throw a floating-point exception instead of behaving sanely. Commit f9ac414c35ea084ff70c564ab2c32adb06d5296f dealt with this in int4mod, but overlooked the fact that it also happens in int8mod (at least on my Linux x86_64 machine). Protect int2mod as well; it's not clear whether any machines fail there (mine does not) but since the test is so cheap it seems better safe than sorry. While at it, simplify the original guard in int4mod: we need only check for arg2 == -1, we don't need to check arg1 explicitly. Xi Wang, with some editing by me.

* Fix memory leaks in record_out() and record_send().Tom Lane2012-11-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | record_out() leaks memory: it fails to free the strings returned by the per-column output functions, and also is careless about detoasted values. This results in a query-lifespan memory leakage when returning composite values to the client, because printtup() runs the output functions in the query-lifespan memory context. Fix it to handle these issues the same way printtup() does. Also fix a similar leakage in record_send(). (At some point we might want to try to run output functions in shorter-lived memory contexts, so that we don't need a zero-leakage policy for them. But that would be a significantly more invasive patch, which doesn't seem like material for back-patching.) In passing, use appendStringInfoCharMacro instead of appendStringInfoChar in the innermost data-copying loop of record_out, to try to shave a few cycles from this function's runtime. Per trouble report from Carlos Henrique Reimer. Back-patch to all supported versions.
* Skip searching for subxact locks at commit.Simon Riggs2012-11-13
| | | | | | | | At commit all standby locks are released for the top-level transaction, so searching for locks for each subtransaction is both pointless and costly (N^2) in the presence of many AccessExclusiveLocks.
