* Fix handling of empty uncompressed posting list pages in GINAlexander Korotkov2018-07-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | PostgreSQL 9.4 introduces posting list compression in GIN. This feature supports online upgrade, so that after pg_upgrade uncompressed posting lists are compressed on-the-fly. Underlying code appears to always expect at least one item on uncompressed posting list page. But there could be completely empty pages, because VACUUM never deletes leftmost and rightmost pages from posting trees. This commit fixes that.

* Fix inadequate buffer locking in FSM and VM page re-initialization.Tom Lane2018-07-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When reading an existing FSM or VM page that was found to be corrupt by the buffer manager, the code applied PageInit() to reinitialize the page, but did so without any locking. There is thus a hazard that two backends might concurrently do PageInit, which in itself would still be OK, but the slower one might then zero over subsequent data changes applied by the faster one. Even that is unlikely to be fatal; but it's not desirable, so add locking to prevent it. This does not add any locking overhead in the normal code path where the page is OK. It's not immediately obvious that that's safe, but I believe it is, for reasons explained in the added comments. Problem noted by R P Asim. It's been like this for a long time, so back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CANXE4Te4G0TGq6cr0-TvwP0H4BNiK_-hB5gHe8mF+nz0mcYfMQ@mail.gmail.com
* Make logical WAL sender report streaming state appropriatelyMichael Paquier2018-07-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | WAL senders sending logically-decoded data fail to properly report in "streaming" state when starting up, hence as long as one extra record is not replayed, such WAL senders would remain in a "catchup" state, which is inconsistent with the physical cousin. This can be easily reproduced by for example using pg_recvlogical and restarting the upstream server. The TAP tests have been slightly modified to detect the failure and strengthened so as future tests also make sure that a node is in streaming state when waiting for its catchup. Backpatch down to 9.4 where this code has been introduced.

* Avoid emitting a bogus WAL record when recycling an all-zero btree page.Tom Lane2018-07-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit fafa374f2 caused _bt_getbuf() to possibly emit a WAL record for a page that it was about to recycle. However, it failed to distinguish all-zero pages from dead pages, which is important because only the latter have valid btpo.xact values, or indeed any special space at all. Recycling an all-zero page with XLogStandbyInfoActive() enabled therefore led to an Assert failure, or to emission of a WAL record containing a bogus cutoff XID, which might lead to unnecessary query cancellations on hot standby servers. Per reports from Antonin Houska and 自己. Amit Kapila was first to propose this fix, and Robert Haas, myself, and Kyotaro Horiguchi reviewed it at various times. This is an old bug, so back-patch to all supported branches.

* Prevent accidental linking of system-supplied copies of libpq.so etc.Tom Lane2018-07-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Back-patch commit dddfc4cb2, which broke LDFLAGS and related Makefile variables into two parts, one for within-build-tree library references and one for external libraries, to ensure that the order of -L flags has all of the former before all of the latter. This turns out to fix a problem recently noted on buildfarm member peripatus, that we attempted to incorporate code from libpgport.a into a shared library. That will fail on platforms that are sticky about putting non-PIC code into shared libraries. (It's quite surprising we hadn't seen such failures before, since the code in question has been like that for a long time.) I think that peripatus' problem could have been fixed with just a subset of this patch; but since the previous issue of accidentally linking to the wrong copy of a Postgres shlib seems likely to bite people in the field, let's just back-patch the whole change. Now that commit dddfc4cb2 has survived some beta testing, I'm less afraid to back-patch it than I was at the time. This also fixes undesired inclusion of "-DFRONTEND" in pg_config's CPPFLAGS output (in 9.6 and up) and undesired inclusion of "-L../../src/common" in its LDFLAGS output (in all supported branches). Back-patch to v10 and older branches; this is already in v11. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20180704234304.bq2dxispefl65odz@ler-imac.local
* Rework order of end-of-recovery actions to delay timeline history writeMichael Paquier2018-07-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A critical failure in some of the end-of-recovery actions before the end-of-recovery record is written can cause PostgreSQL to react inconsistently with the rest of the cluster in the event of a crash before the final record is written. Two such failures are for example an error while processing a two-phase state files or when operating on recovery.conf. With this commit, the failures are still considered FATAL, but the write of the timeline history file is delayed as much as possible so as the window between the moment the file is written and the end-of-recovery record is generated gets minimized. This way, in the event of a crash or a failure, the new timeline decided at promotion will not seem taken by other nodes in the cluster. It is not really possible to reduce to zero this window, hence one could still see failures if a crash happens between the history file write and the end-of-recovery record, so any future code should be careful when adding new end-of-recovery actions. The original report from Magnus Hagander mentioned a renamed recovery.conf as original end-of-recovery failure which caused a timeline to be seen as taken but the subsequent processing on the now-missing recovery.conf cause the startup process to issue stop on FATAL, which at follow-up startup made the system inconsistent because of on-disk changes which already happened. Processing of two-phase state files still needs some work as corrupted entries are simply ignored now. This is left as a future item and this commit fixes the original complain.

* Prevent references to invalid relation pages after fresh promotionMichael Paquier2018-07-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a standby crashes after promotion before having completed its first post-recovery checkpoint, then the minimal recovery point which marks the LSN position where the cluster is able to reach consistency may be set to a position older than the first end-of-recovery checkpoint while all the WAL available should be replayed. This leads to the instance thinking that it contains inconsistent pages, causing a PANIC and a hard instance crash even if all the WAL available has not been replayed for certain sets of records replayed. When in crash recovery, minRecoveryPoint is expected to always be set to InvalidXLogRecPtr, which forces the recovery to replay all the WAL available, so this commit makes sure that the local copy of minRecoveryPoint from the control file is initialized properly and stays as it is while crash recovery is performed. Once switching to archive recovery or if crash recovery finishes, then the local copy minRecoveryPoint can be safely updated. Pavan Deolasee has reported and diagnosed the failure in the first place, and the base fix idea to rely on the local copy of minRecoveryPoint comes from Kyotaro Horiguchi, which has been expanded into a full-fledged patch by me. The test included in this commit has been written by Álvaro Herrera and Pavan Deolasee, which I have modified to make it faster and more reliable with sleep phases. Backpatch down to all supported versions where the bug appears, aka 9.3 which is where the end-of-recovery checkpoint is not run by the startup process anymore. The test gets easily supported down to 10, still it has been tested on all branches.

* Check for interrupts inside the nbtree page deletion code.Andres Freund2018-07-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When deleting pages the nbtree code has to walk through siblings of a tree node. When those sibling links are corrupted that can lead to endless loops - which are currently not interruptible. This is especially problematic if autovacuum is repeatedly blocked on such indexes, as it can be hard to get out of that situation without resorting to single user mode. Thus add interrupt checks to appropriate places in such loops. Unfortunately in one of the cases it's it's not easy to do so. Between 9.3 and 9.4 the page deletion (and page split) code changed significantly. Before it was significantly less robust against interruptions. Therefore don't backpatch to 9.3.

* Improve the performance of relation deletes during recovery.Fujii Masao2018-07-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When multiple relations are deleted at the same transaction, the files of those relations are deleted by one call to smgrdounlinkall(), which leads to scan whole shared_buffers only one time. OTOH, previously, during recovery, smgrdounlink() (not smgrdounlinkall()) was called for each file to delete, which led to scan shared_buffers multiple times. Obviously this could cause to increase the WAL replay time very much especially when shared_buffers was huge. To alleviate this situation, this commit changes the recovery so that it also calls smgrdounlinkall() only one time to delete multiple relation files. This is just fix for oversight of commit 279628a0a7, not new feature. So, per discussion on pgsql-hackers, we concluded to backpatch this to all supported versions.

* Fix "base" snapshot handling in logical decodingAlvaro Herrera2018-06-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Two closely related bugs are fixed. First, xmin of logical slots was advanced too early. During xl_running_xacts processing, xmin of the slot was set to the oldest running xid in the record, but that's wrong: actually, snapshots which will be used for not-yet-replayed transactions might consider older txns as running too, so we need to keep xmin back for them. The problem wasn't noticed earlier because DDL which allows to delete tuple (set xmax) while some another not-yet-committed transaction looks at it is pretty rare, if not unique: e.g. all forms of ALTER TABLE which change schema acquire ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock conflicting with any inserts. The included test case (test_decoding's oldest_xmin) uses ALTER of a composite type, which doesn't have such interlocking. To deal with this, we must be able to quickly retrieve oldest xmin (oldest running xid among all assigned snapshots) from ReorderBuffer. To fix, add another list of ReorderBufferTXNs to the reorderbuffer, where transactions are sorted by base-snapshot-LSN. This is slightly different from the existing (sorted by first-LSN) list, because a transaction can have an earlier LSN but a later Xmin, if its first record does not obtain an xmin (eg. xl_xact_assignment). Note this new list doesn't fully replace the existing txn list: we still need that one to prevent WAL recycling. The second issue concerns SnapBuilder snapshots and subtransactions. SnapBuildDistributeNewCatalogSnapshot never assigned a snapshot to a transaction that is known to be a subtxn, which is good in the common case that the top-level transaction already has one (no point in doing so), but a bug otherwise. To fix, arrange to transfer the snapshot from the subtxn to its top-level txn as soon as the kinship gets known. test_decoding's snapshot_transfer verifies this. Also, fix a minor memory leak: refcount of toplevel's old base snapshot was not decremented when the snapshot is transferred from child. Liberally sprinkle code comments, and rewrite a few existing ones. This part is my (Álvaro's) contribution to this commit, as I had to write all those comments in order to understand the existing code and Arseny's patch.

* Address set of issues with errno handlingMichael Paquier2018-06-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | System calls mixed up in error code paths are causing two issues which several code paths have not correctly handled: 1) For write() calls, sometimes the system may return less bytes than what has been written without errno being set. Some paths were careful enough to consider that case, and assumed that errno should be set to ENOSPC, other calls missed that. 2) errno generated by a system call is overwritten by other system calls which may succeed once an error code path is taken, causing what is reported to the user to be incorrect. This patch uses the brute-force approach of correcting all those code paths. Some refactoring could happen in the future, but this is let as future work, which is not targeted for back-branches anyway.

* Prevent hard failures of standbys caused by recycled WAL segmentsMichael Paquier2018-06-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a standby's WAL receiver stops reading WAL from a WAL stream, it writes data to the current WAL segment without having priorily zero'ed the page currently written to, which can cause the WAL reader to read junk data from a past recycled segment and then it would try to get a record from it. While sanity checks in place provide most of the protection needed, in some rare circumstances, with chances increasing when a record header crosses a page boundary, then the startup process could fail violently on an allocation failure, as follows: FATAL: invalid memory alloc request size XXX This is confusing for the user and also unhelpful as this requires in the worst case a manual restart of the instance, impacting potentially the availability of the cluster, and this also makes WAL data look like it is in a corrupted state. The chances of seeing failures are higher if the connection between the standby and its root node is unstable, causing WAL pages to be written in the middle. A couple of approaches have been discussed, like zero-ing new WAL pages within the WAL receiver itself but this has the disadvantage of impacting performance of any existing instances as this breaks the sequential writes done by the WAL receiver. This commit deals with the problem with a more simple approach, which has no performance impact without reducing the detection of the problem: if a record is found with a length higher than 1GB for backends, then do not try any allocation and report a soft failure which will force the standby to retry reading WAL. It could be possible that the allocation call passes and that an unnecessary amount of memory is allocated, however follow-up checks on records would just fail, making this allocation short-lived anyway. This patch owes a great deal to Tsunakawa Takayuki for reporting the failure first, and then discussing a couple of potential approaches to the problem.

* Fix bugs in vacuum of shared rels, by keeping their relcache entries current.Andres Freund2018-06-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When vacuum processes a relation it uses the corresponding relcache entry's relfrozenxid / relminmxid as a cutoff for when to remove tuples etc. Unfortunately for nailed relations (i.e. critical system catalogs) bugs could frequently lead to the corresponding relcache entry being stale. This set of bugs could cause actual data corruption as vacuum would potentially not remove the correct row versions, potentially reviving them at a later point. After 699bf7d05c some corruptions in this vein were prevented, but the additional error checks could also trigger spuriously. Examples of such errors are: ERROR: found xmin ... from before relfrozenxid ... and ERROR: found multixact ... from before relminmxid ... To be caused by this bug the errors have to occur on system catalog tables. The two bugs are: 1) Invalidations for nailed relations were ignored, based on the theory that the relcache entry for such tables doesn't change. Which is largely true, except for fields like relfrozenxid etc. This means that changes to relations vacuumed in other sessions weren't picked up by already existing sessions. Luckily autovacuum doesn't have particularly longrunning sessions. 2) For shared *and* nailed relations, the shared relcache init file was never invalidated while running. That means that for such tables (e.g. pg_authid, pg_database) it's not just already existing sessions that are affected, but even new connections are as well. That explains why the reports usually were about pg_authid et. al. To fix 1), revalidate the rd_rel portion of a relcache entry when invalid. This implies a bit of extra complexity to deal with bootstrapping, but it's not too bad. The fix for 2) is simpler, simply always remove both the shared and local init files.

* Fix misidentification of SQL statement type in plpgsql's exec_stmt_execsql.Tom Lane2018-05-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To distinguish SQL statements that are INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE from other ones, exec_stmt_execsql looked at the post-rewrite form of the statement rather than the original. This is problematic because it did that only during first execution of the statement (in a session), but the correct answer could change later due to addition or removal of DO INSTEAD rules during the session. That could lead to an Assert failure, as reported by Tushar Ahuja and Robert Haas. In non-assert builds, there's a hazard that we would fail to enforce STRICT behavior when we'd be expected to. That would happen if an initially present DO INSTEAD, that replaced the original statement with one of a different type, were removed; after that the statement should act "normally", including strictness enforcement, but it didn't. (The converse case of enforcing strictness when we shouldn't doesn't seem to be a hazard, as addition of a DO INSTEAD that changes the statement type would always lead to acting as though the statement returned zero rows, so that the strictness error could not fire.) To fix, inspect the original form of the statement not the post-rewrite form, making it valid to assume the answer can't change intra-session. This should lead to the same answer in every case except when there is a DO INSTEAD that changes the statement type; we will now set mod_stmt=true anyway, while we would not have done so before. That breaks the Assert in the SPI_OK_REWRITTEN code path, which expected the latter behavior. It might be all right to assert mod_stmt rather than !mod_stmt there, but I'm not entirely convinced that that'd always hold, so just remove the assertion altogether. This has been broken for a long time, so back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CA+TgmoZUrRN4xvZe_BbBn_Xp0BDwuMEue-0OyF0fJpfvU2Yc7Q@mail.gmail.com

* Fix SQL:2008 FETCH FIRST syntax to allow parameters.Andrew Gierth2018-05-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | OFFSET <x> ROWS FETCH FIRST <y> ROWS ONLY syntax is supposed to accept <simple value specification>, which includes parameters as well as literals. When this syntax was added all those years ago, it was done inconsistently, with <x> and <y> being different subsets of the standard syntax. Rectify that by making <x> and <y> accept the same thing, and allowing either a (signed) numeric literal or a c_expr there, which allows for parameters, variables, and parenthesized arbitrary expressions. Per bug #15200 from Lukas Eder. Backpatch all the way, since this has been broken from the start.

* Fix unsafe usage of strerror(errno) within ereport().Tom Lane2018-05-21
| | | | | | | | This is the converse of the unsafe-usage-of-%m problem: the reason ereport/elog provide that format code is mainly to dodge the hazard of errno getting changed before control reaches functions within the arguments of the macro. I only found one instance of this hazard, but it's been there since 9.4 :-(.
* printf("%lf") is not portable, so omit the "l".Tom Lane2018-05-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | The "l" (ell) width spec means something in the corresponding scanf usage, but not here. While modern POSIX says that applying "l" to "f" and other floating format specs is a no-op, SUSv2 says it's undefined. Buildfarm experience says that some old compilers emit warnings about it, and at least one old stdio implementation (mingw's "ANSI" option) actually produces wrong answers and/or crashes.

* Support platforms where strtoll/strtoull are spelled __strtoll/__strtoull.Tom Lane2018-05-19
| | | | | | | | | | | Ancient HPUX, for one, does this. We hadn't noticed due to the lack of regression tests that required a working strtoll. (I was slightly tempted to remove the other historical spelling, strto[u]q, since it seems we have no buildfarm members testing that case. But I refrained.)

* Arrange to supply declarations for strtoll/strtoull if needed.Tom Lane2018-05-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Buildfarm member dromedary is still unhappy about the recently-added ecpg "long long" tests. The reason turns out to be that it includes "-ansi" in its CFLAGS, and in their infinite wisdom Apple have decided to hide the declarations of strtoll/strtoull in C89-compliant builds. (I find it pretty curious that they hide those function declarations when you can nonetheless declare a "long long" variable, but anyway that is their behavior, both on dromedary's obsolete macOS version and the newest and shiniest.) As a result, gcc assumes these functions return "int", leading naturally to wrong results. (Looking at dromedary's past build results, it's evident that this problem also breaks pg_strtouint64() on 32-bit platforms; but we evidently have no regression tests that exercise that function with values above 32 bits.) To fix, supply declarations for these functions when the platform provides the functions but not the declarations, using the same type of mechanism as we use for some other similar cases.

* Hot-fix ecpg regression test for missing ecpg_config.h inclusion.Tom Lane2018-05-18

* Add some test coverage for ecpg's "long long" support.Tom Lane2018-05-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | This will only actually exercise the "long long" code paths on platforms where "long" is 32 bits --- otherwise, the SQL bigint type maps to plain "long", and we will test that code path instead. But that's probably sufficient coverage, and anyway we weren't testing either code path before.

* Recognize that MSVC can support strtoll() and strtoull().Tom Lane2018-05-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This is needed for full support of "long long" variables in ecpg, but the previous patch for bug #15080 (commits 51057feaa et al) missed it. In MSVC versions where the functions don't exist under those names, we can nonetheless use _strtoi64() and _strtoui64(). Like the previous patch, back-patch all the way.

* Fix error message on short read of pg_controlMagnus Hagander2018-05-18
| | | | | Instead of saying "error: success", indicate that we got a working read but it was too short.
* Fix misprocessing of equivalence classes involving record_eq().Tom Lane2018-05-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | canonicalize_ec_expression() is supposed to agree with coerce_type() as to whether a RelabelType should be inserted to make a subexpression be valid input for the operators of a given opclass. However, it did the wrong thing with named-composite-type inputs to record_eq(): it put in a RelabelType to RECORDOID, which the parser doesn't. In some cases this was harmless because all code paths involving a particular equivalence class did the same thing, but in other cases this would result in failing to recognize a composite-type expression as being a member of an equivalence class that it actually is a member of. The most obvious bad effect was to fail to recognize that an index on a composite column could provide the sort order needed for a mergejoin on that column, as reported by Teodor Sigaev. I think there might be other, subtler, cases that result in misoptimization. It also seems possible that an unwanted RelabelType would sometimes get into an emitted plan --- but because record_eq and friends don't examine the declared type of their input expressions, that would not create any visible problems. To fix, just treat RECORDOID as if it were a polymorphic type, which in some sense it is. We might want to consider formalizing that a bit more someday, but for the moment this seems to be the only place where an IsPolymorphicType() test ought to include RECORDOID as well. This has been broken for a long time, so back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/a6b22369-e3bf-4d49-f59d-0c41d3551e81@sigaev.ru
* Update time zone data files to tzdata release 2018e.Tom Lane2018-05-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | DST law changes in North Korea. Redefinition of "daylight savings" in Ireland, as well as for some past years in Namibia and Czechoslovakia. Additional historical corrections for Czechoslovakia. With this change, the IANA database models Irish timekeeping as following "standard time" in summer, and "daylight savings" in winter, so that the daylight savings offset is one hour behind standard time not one hour ahead. This does not change their UTC offset (+1:00 in summer, 0:00 in winter) nor their timezone abbreviations (IST in summer, GMT in winter), though now "IST" is more correctly read as "Irish Standard Time" not "Irish Summer Time". However, the "is_dst" column in the pg_timezone_names view will now be true in winter and false in summer for the Europe/Dublin zone. Similar changes were made for Namibia between 1994 and 2017, and for Czechoslovakia between 1946 and 1947. So far as I can find, no Postgres internal logic cares about which way tm_isdst is reported; in particular, since commit b2cbced9e we do not rely on it to decide how to interpret ambiguous timestamps during DST transitions. So I don't think this change will affect any Postgres behavior other than the timezone-view outputs. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/30996.1525445902@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Improve inefficient regexes in vacuumdb TAP test.Tom Lane2018-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The regexes used in 102_vacuumdb_stages.pl to check the postmaster log for expected output contained several places with ".*.*", which is underdetermined and can cause exponential runtime growth in Perl's regex matcher (since it's not bright enough not to waste time seeing whether different splits of the same substring would allow a match). We were fortunate that the amount of text in the postmaster log was generally not enough to make the runtime go to the moon; although commit 6271fceb8 had been on the hairy edge of an obvious problem, thanks to its increasing the default log verbosity to DEBUG1. Experimentation shows that anyone who tried to run this test case with an even higher log verbosity would have been in for serious pain. But even at default logging level, fixing this saves several hundred ms on my workstation, more on slower buildfarm members. Remove the extra ".*"s, restoring more-or-less-linear matching speed. Back-patch to 9.4 where the test case was added, mostly in case anyone tries to do related debugging in a back branch. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/32459.1525657786@sss.pgh.pa.us

* Fix scenario where streaming standby gets stuck at a continuation record.Heikki Linnakangas2018-05-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a continuation record is split so that its first half has already been removed from the master, and is only present in pg_wal, and there is a recycled WAL segment in the standby server that looks like it would contain the second half, recovery would get stuck. The code in XLogPageRead() incorrectly started streaming at the beginning of the WAL record, even if we had already read the first page. Backpatch to 9.4. In principle, older versions have the same problem, but without replication slots, there was no straightforward mechanism to prevent the master from recycling old WAL that was still needed by standby. Without such a mechanism, I think it's reasonable to assume that there's enough slack in how many old segments are kept around to not run into this, or you have a WAL archive. Reported by Jonathon Nelson. Analysis and patch by Kyotaro HORIGUCHI, with some extra comments by me.

* Sync our copy of the timezone library with IANA release tzcode2018e.Tom Lane2018-05-04
| | | | | | | | | | | The non-cosmetic changes involve teaching the "zic" tzdata compiler about negative DST. While I'm not currently intending that we start using negative-DST data right away, it seems possible that somebody would try to use our copy of zic with bleeding-edge IANA data. So we'd better be out in front of this change code-wise, even though it doesn't matter for the data file we're shipping. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/30996.1525445902@sss.pgh.pa.us
