* Fix bugs in cascading replication with recovery_target_timeline='latest'Heikki Linnakangas2012-09-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The cascading replication code assumed that the current RecoveryTargetTLI never changes, but that's not true with recovery_target_timeline='latest'. The obvious upshot of that is that RecoveryTargetTLI in shared memory needs to be protected by a lock. A less obvious consequence is that when a cascading standby is connected, and the standby switches to a new target timeline after scanning the archive, it will continue to stream WAL to the cascading standby, but from a wrong file, ie. the file of the previous timeline. For example, if the standby is currently streaming from the middle of file 000000010000000000000005, and the timeline changes, the standby will continue to stream from that file. However, the WAL on the new timeline is in file 000000020000000000000005, so the standby sends garbage from 000000010000000000000005 to the cascading standby, instead of the correct WAL from file 000000020000000000000005. This also fixes a related bug where a partial WAL segment is restored from the archive and streamed to a cascading standby. The code assumed that when a WAL segment is copied from the archive, it can immediately be fully streamed to a cascading standby. However, if the segment is only partially filled, ie. has the right size, but only N first bytes contain valid WAL, that's not safe. That can happen if a partial WAL segment is manually copied to the archive, or if a partial WAL segment is archived because a server is started up on a new timeline within that segment. The cascading standby will get confused if the WAL it received is not valid, and will get stuck until it's restarted. This patch fixes that problem by not allowing WAL restored from the archive to be streamed to a cascading standby until it's been replayed, and thus validated.
* Fix serializable mode with index-only scans.Kevin Grittner2012-09-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Serializable Snapshot Isolation used for serializable transactions depends on acquiring SIRead locks on all heap relation tuples which are used to generate the query result, so that a later delete or update of any of the tuples can flag a read-write conflict between transactions. This is normally handled in heapam.c, with tuple level locking. Since an index-only scan avoids heap access in many cases, building the result from the index tuple, the necessary predicate locks were not being acquired for all tuples in an index-only scan. To prevent problems with tuple IDs which are vacuumed and re-used while the transaction still matters, the xmin of the tuple is part of the tag for the tuple lock. Since xmin is not available to the index-only scan for result rows generated from the index tuples, it is not possible to acquire a tuple-level predicate lock in such cases, in spite of having the tid. If we went to the heap to get the xmin value, it would no longer be an index-only scan. Rather than prohibit index-only scans under serializable transaction isolation, we acquire an SIRead lock on the page containing the tuple, when it was not necessary to visit the heap for other reasons. Backpatch to 9.2. Kevin Grittner and Tom Lane
* Allow isolation tests to specify multiple setup blocks.Kevin Grittner2012-09-04
| | | | | | | | | | Each setup block is run as a single PQexec submission, and some statements such as VACUUM cannot be combined with others in such a block. Backpatch to 9.2. Kevin Grittner and Tom Lane
* Make psql's \d+ show reloptions for all relkinds.Tom Lane2012-09-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | Formerly it would only show them for relkinds 'r' and 'f' (plain tables and foreign tables). However, as of 9.2, views can also have reloptions, namely security_barrier. The relkind restriction seems pointless and not at all future-proof, so just print reloptions whenever there are any. In passing, make some cosmetic improvements to the code that pulls the "tableinfo" fields out of the PGresult. Noted and patched by Dean Rasheed, with adjustment for all relkinds by me.
* Restore setting of _USE_32BIT_TIME_T to 32 bit MSVC builds.Andrew Dunstan2012-08-31
| | | | | | | | | | | This was removed in commit cd004067742ee16ee63e55abfb4acbd5f09fbaab, we're not quite sure why, but there have been reports of crashes due to AS Perl being built with it when we are not, and it certainly seems like the right thing to do. There is still some uncertainty as to why it sometimes fails and sometimes doesn't. Original patch from Owais Khani, substantially reworked and extended by Andrew Dunstan.
* Make configure probe for mbstowcs_l as well as wcstombs_l.Tom Lane2012-08-31
| | | | | | | | | | | We previously supposed that any given platform would supply both or neither of these functions, so that one configure test would be sufficient. It now appears that at least on AIX this is not the case ... which is likely an AIX bug, but nonetheless we need to cope with it. So use separate tests. Per bug #6758; thanks to Andrew Hastie for doing the followup testing needed to confirm what was happening. Backpatch to 9.1, where we began using these functions.
* Back-patch recent fixes for gistchoose and gistRelocateBuildBuffersOnSplit.Tom Lane2012-08-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This back-ports commits c8ba697a4bdb934f0c51424c654e8db6133ea255 and e5db11c5582b469c04a11f217a0f32c827da5dd7, which fix one definite and one speculative bug in gistchoose, and make the code a lot more intelligible as well. In 9.2 only, this also affects the largely-copied-and-pasted logic in gistRelocateBuildBuffersOnSplit. The impact of the bugs was that the functions might make poor decisions as to which index tree branch to push a new entry down into, resulting in GiST index bloat and poor performance. The fixes rectify these decisions for future insertions, but a REINDEX would be needed to clean up any existing index bloat. Alexander Korotkov, Robert Haas, Tom Lane

* Fix DROP INDEX CONCURRENTLY IF EXISTS.Tom Lane2012-08-27
| | | | | | | | This threw ERROR, not the expected NOTICE, if the index didn't exist. The bug was actually visible in not-as-expected regression test output, so somebody wasn't paying too close attention in commit 8cb53654dbdb4c386369eb988062d0bbb6de725e. Per report from Brendan Byrd.

* Fix issues with checks for unsupported transaction states in Hot Standby.Tom Lane2012-08-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The GUC check hooks for transaction_read_only and transaction_isolation tried to check RecoveryInProgress(), so as to disallow setting read/write mode or serializable isolation level (respectively) in hot standby sessions. However, GUC check hooks can be called in many situations where we're not connected to shared memory at all, resulting in a crash in RecoveryInProgress(). Among other cases, this results in EXEC_BACKEND builds crashing during child process start if default_transaction_isolation is serializable, as reported by Heikki Linnakangas. Protect those calls by silently allowing any setting when not inside a transaction; which is okay anyway since these GUCs are always reset at start of transaction. Also, add a check to GetSerializableTransactionSnapshot() to complain if we are in hot standby. We need that check despite the one in check_XactIsoLevel() because default_transaction_isolation could be serializable. We don't want to complain any sooner than this in such cases, since that would prevent running transactions at all in such a state; but a transaction can be run, if SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION is done before setting a snapshot. Per report some months ago from Robert Haas. Back-patch to 9.1, since these problems were introduced by the SSI patch. Kevin Grittner and Tom Lane, with ideas from Heikki Linnakangas

* Fix cascading privilege revoke to notice when privileges are still held.Tom Lane2012-08-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | If we revoke a grant option from some role X, but X still holds the option via another grant, we should not recursively revoke the privilege from role(s) Y that X had granted it to. This was supposedly fixed as one aspect of commit 4b2dafcc0b1a579ef5daaa2728223006d1ff98e9, but I must not have tested it, because in fact that code never worked: it forgot to shift the grant-option bits back over when masking the bits being revoked. Per bug #6728 from Daniel German. Back-patch to all active branches, since this has been wrong since 8.0.
* Fix dumping of security_barrier views with circular dependencies.Tom Lane2012-08-21
| | | | | | | | | If a view has circular dependencies, pg_dump splits it into a CREATE TABLE and a CREATE RULE command to break the dependency loop. However, if the view has reloptions, those options cannot be applied in the CREATE TABLE command, because views and tables have different allowed reloptions so CREATE TABLE would reject them. Instead apply the reloptions after the CREATE RULE, using ALTER VIEW SET.
* Check LIBXML_VERSION instead of testing in configure script.Tom Lane2012-08-17
| | | | | | | | | | We had put a test for libxml2's xmlStructuredErrorContext variable in configure, but of course that doesn't work on Windows builds. The next best alternative seems to be to test the LIBXML_VERSION symbol provided by xmlversion.h. Per report from Talha Bin Rizwan, though this fixes it in a different way than his proposed patch.
* Allow create_index_paths() to consider multiple join bitmapscan paths.Tom Lane2012-08-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | In the initial cut at the "parameterized paths" feature, I'd simplified create_index_paths() to the point where it would only generate a single parameterized bitmap path per relation. Experimentation with an example supplied by Josh Berkus convinces me that that's not good enough: we really need to consider a bitmap path for each possible outer relation. Otherwise we have regressions relative to pre-9.2 versions, in which the planner picks a plain indexscan where it should have used a bitmap scan in queries involving three or more tables. Indeed, after fixing this, several queries in the regression tests show improved plans as a result of using bitmap not plain indexscans.
* Fix GiST buffering build bug, which caused "failed to re-find parent" errors.Heikki Linnakangas2012-08-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We use a hash table to track the parents of inner pages, but when inserting to a leaf page, the caller of gistbufferinginserttuples() must pass a correct block number of the leaf's parent page. Before gistProcessItup() descends to a child page, it checks if the downlink needs to be adjusted to accommodate the new tuple, and updates the downlink if necessary. However, updating the downlink might require splitting the page, which might move the downlink to a page to the right. gistProcessItup() doesn't realize that, so when it descends to the leaf page, it might pass an out-of-date parent block number as a result. Fix that by returning the block a tuple was inserted to from gistbufferinginserttuples(). This fixes the bug reported by Zdeněk Jílovec.
* Fix rescan logic in nodeCtescan.Tom Lane2012-08-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The previous coding essentially assumed that nodes would be rescanned in the same order they were initialized in; or at least that the "leader" of a group of CTEscans would be rescanned before any others were required to execute. Unfortunately, that isn't even a little bit true. It's possible to devise queries in which the leader isn't rescanned until other CTEscans on the same CTE have run to completion, or even in which the leader never gets a rescan call at all. The fix makes the leader specially responsible only for initial creation and final destruction of the tuplestore; rescan resets are now a symmetrically shared responsibility. This means that we might reset the tuplestore multiple times when restarting a plan subtree containing multiple CTEscans; but resetting an already-empty tuplestore is cheap enough that that doesn't seem like a problem. Per report from Adam Mackler; the new regression test cases are based on his example query. Back-patch to 8.4 where CTE scans were introduced.
* Disallow extensions from owning the schema they are assigned to.Tom Lane2012-08-15
| | | | | | | | | | | This situation creates a dependency loop that confuses pg_dump and probably other things. Moreover, since the mental model is that the extension "contains" schemas it owns, but "is contained in" its extschema (even though neither is strictly true), having both true at once is confusing for people too. So prevent the situation from being set up. Reported and patched by Thom Brown. Back-patch to 9.1 where extensions were added.
* Resurrect the "last ditch" code path in join_search_one_level().Tom Lane2012-08-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This essentially reverts commit e54b10a62db2991235fe800c629baef4531a6d67, in which I'd decided that the "last ditch" join logic was useless. The folly of that is now exposed by a report from Pavel Stehule: although the function should always find at least one join in a self-contained join problem, it can still fail to do so in a sub-problem created by artificial from_collapse_limit or join_collapse_limit constraints. Adjust the comments to describe this, and simplify the code a bit to match the new coding of the earlier loop in the function. I'm not terribly happy about this: I still subscribe to the opinion stated in the previous commit message that the "last ditch" code can obscure logic bugs elsewhere. But the alternative seems to be to complicate the earlier tests for does-this-relation-have-a-join-clause to the point where they can tell whether the join clauses link outside the current join sub-problem. And that looks messy, slow, and possibly a source of bugs in itself. In any case, now is not the time to be inserting experimental code into 9.2, so let's just go back to the time-tested solution.

* Prevent access to external files/URLs via XML entity references.Tom Lane2012-08-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | xml_parse() would attempt to fetch external files or URLs as needed to resolve DTD and entity references in an XML value, thus allowing unprivileged database users to attempt to fetch data with the privileges of the database server. While the external data wouldn't get returned directly to the user, portions of it could be exposed in error messages if the data didn't parse as valid XML; and in any case the mere ability to check existence of a file might be useful to an attacker. The ideal solution to this would still allow fetching of references that are listed in the host system's XML catalogs, so that documents can be validated according to installed DTDs. However, doing that with the available libxml2 APIs appears complex and error-prone, so we're not going to risk it in a security patch that necessarily hasn't gotten wide review. So this patch merely shuts off all access, causing any external fetch to silently expand to an empty string. A future patch may improve this. In HEAD and 9.2, also suppress warnings about undefined entities, which would otherwise occur as a result of not loading referenced DTDs. Previous branches don't show such warnings anyway, due to different error handling arrangements. Credit to Noah Misch for first reporting the problem, and for much work towards a solution, though this simplistic approach was not his preference. Also thanks to Daniel Veillard for consultation.

* Update time zone data files to tzdata release 2012e.Tom Lane2012-08-14
| | | | | | | | | | DST law changes in Morocco; Tokelau has relocated to the other side of the International Date Line; and apparently Olson had Tokelau's GMT offset wrong by an hour even before that. There are also a large number of non-significant changes in this update. Upstream took the opportunity to remove trailing whitespace, and the SCCS-style version numbers on the individual files are gone too.
* Fix dependencies generated during ALTER TABLE ADD CONSTRAINT USING INDEX.Tom Lane2012-08-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This command generated new pg_depend entries linking the index to the constraint and the constraint to the table, which match the entries made when a unique or primary key constraint is built de novo. However, it did not bother to get rid of the entries linking the index directly to the table. We had considered the issue when the ADD CONSTRAINT USING INDEX patch was written, and concluded that we didn't need to get rid of the extra entries. But this is wrong: ALTER COLUMN TYPE wasn't expecting such redundant dependencies to exist, as reported by Hubert Depesz Lubaczewski. On reflection it seems rather likely to break other things as well, since there are many bits of code that crawl pg_depend for one purpose or another, and most of them are pretty naive about what relationships they're expecting to find. Fortunately it's not that hard to get rid of the extra dependency entries, so let's do that. Back-patch to 9.1, where ALTER TABLE ADD CONSTRAINT USING INDEX was added.

| | | | | | | | | Cascading replication copied the incoming file into pg_xlog but didn't set path correctly, so the first attempt to open file failed causing it to loop around and look for file in pg_xlog. So the earlier coding worked, but accidentally rather than by design. Spotted by Fujii Masao, fix by Fujii Masao and Simon Riggs

* Fix TwoPhaseGetDummyBackendId().Tom Lane2012-08-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This was broken in commit ed0b409d22346b1b027a4c2099ca66984d94b6dd, which revised the GlobalTransactionData struct to not include the associated PGPROC as its first member, but overlooked one place where a cast was used in reliance on that equivalence. The most effective way of fixing this seems to be to create a new function that looks up the GlobalTransactionData struct given the XID, and make both TwoPhaseGetDummyBackendId and TwoPhaseGetDummyProc rely on that. Per report from Robert Ross.

* Perform conversion from Python unicode to string/bytes object via UTF-8.Heikki Linnakangas2012-08-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We used to convert the unicode object directly to a string in the server encoding by calling Python's PyUnicode_AsEncodedString function. In other words, we used Python's routines to do the encoding. However, that has a few problems. First of all, it required keeping a mapping table of Python encoding names and PostgreSQL encodings. But the real killer was that Python doesn't support EUC_TW and MULE_INTERNAL encodings at all. Instead, convert the Python unicode object to UTF-8, and use PostgreSQL's encoding conversion functions to convert from UTF-8 to server encoding. We were already doing the same in the other direction in PLyUnicode_FromString, so this is more consistent, too. Note: This makes SQL_ASCII to behave more leniently. We used to map SQL_ASCII to Python's 'ascii', which on Python means strict 7-bit ASCII only, so you got an error if the python string contained anything but pure ASCII. You no longer get an error; you get the UTF-8 representation of the string instead. Backpatch to 9.0, where these conversions were introduced. Jan Urbański
* Fix bugs with parsing signed hh:mm and hh:mm:ss fields in interval input.Tom Lane2012-08-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | DecodeInterval() failed to honor the "range" parameter (the special SQL syntax for indicating which fields appear in the literal string) if the time was signed. This seems inappropriate, so make it work like the not-signed case. The inconsistency was introduced in my commit f867339c0148381eb1d01f93ab5c79f9d10211de, which as noted in its log message was only really focused on making SQL-compliant literals work per spec. Including a sign here is not per spec, but if we're going to allow it then it's reasonable to expect it to work like the not-signed case. Also, remove bogus setting of tmask, which caused subsequent processing to think that what had been given was a timezone and not an hh:mm(:ss) field, thus confusing checks for redundant fields. This seems to be an aboriginal mistake in Lockhart's commit 2cf1642461536d0d8f3a1cf124ead0eac04eb760. Add regression test cases to illustrate the changed behaviors. Back-patch as far as 8.4, where support for spec-compliant interval literals was added. Range problem reported and diagnosed by Amit Kapila, tmask problem by me.
* Improve underdocumented btree_xlog_delete_get_latestRemovedXid() code.Tom Lane2012-08-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As noted by Noah Misch, btree_xlog_delete_get_latestRemovedXid is critically dependent on the assumption that it's examining a consistent state of the database. This was undocumented though, so the seemingly-unrelated check for no active HS sessions might be thought to be merely an optional optimization. Improve comments, and add an explicit check of reachedConsistency just to be sure. This function returns InvalidTransactionId (thereby killing all HS transactions) in several cases that are not nearly unlikely enough for my taste. This commit doesn't attempt to fix those deficiencies, just document them. Back-patch to 9.2, not from any real functional need but just to keep the branches more closely synced to simplify possible future back-patching.
* In SPGiST replay, do conflict resolution before modifying the page.Tom Lane2012-08-03
| | | | | | | | | In yesterday's commit 962e0cc71e839c58fb9125fa85511b8bbb8bdbee, I added the ResolveRecoveryConflictWithSnapshot call in the wrong place. I correctly put it before spgRedoVacuumRedirect itself would modify the index page --- but not before RestoreBkpBlocks, so replay of a record with a full-page image would modify the page before kicking off any conflicting HS transactions. Oops.
