* Fix corner case in cleanup of transactions using SSI.Heikki Linnakangas2012-01-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the only remaining active transactions are READ ONLY, we do a "partial cleanup" of committed transactions because certain types of conflicts aren't possible anymore. For committed r/w transactions, we release the SIREAD locks but keep the SERIALIZABLEXACT. However, for committed r/o transactions, we can go further and release the SERIALIZABLEXACT too. The problem was with the latter case: we were returning the SERIALIZABLEXACT to the free list without removing it from the finished list. The only real change in the patch is the SHMQueueDelete line, but I also reworked some of the surrounding code to make it obvious that r/o and r/w transactions are handled differently -- the existing code felt a bit too clever. Dan Ports
* Improve efficiency of recent changes to plperl's sv2cstr().Andrew Dunstan2012-01-15
| | | | | | Along the way, add a missing dependency in the GNUmakefile. Alex Hunsaker, with a slight adjustment by me.
* Fix CLUSTER/VACUUM FULL for toast values owned by recently-updated rows.Tom Lane2012-01-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In commit 7b0d0e9356963d5c3e4d329a917f5fbb82a2ef05, I made CLUSTER and VACUUM FULL try to preserve toast value OIDs from the original toast table to the new one. However, if we have to copy both live and recently-dead versions of a row that has a toasted column, those versions may well reference the same toast value with the same OID. The patch then led to duplicate-key failures as we tried to insert the toast value twice with the same OID. (The previous behavior was not very desirable either, since it would have silently inserted the same value twice with different OIDs. That wastes space, but what's worse is that the toast values inserted for already-dead heap rows would not be reclaimed by subsequent ordinary VACUUMs, since they go into the new toast table marked live not deleted.) To fix, check if the copied OID already exists in the new toast table, and if so, assume that it stores the desired value. This is reasonably safe since the only case where we will copy an OID from a previous toast pointer is when toast_insert_or_update was given that toast pointer and so we just pulled the data from the old table; if we got two different values that way then we have big problems anyway. We do have to assume that no other backend is inserting items into the new toast table concurrently, but that's surely safe for CLUSTER and VACUUM FULL. Per bug #6393 from Maxim Boguk. Back-patch to 9.0, same as the previous patch.
* Use __sync_lock_test_and_set() for spinlocks on ARM, if available.Tom Lane2012-01-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Historically we've used the SWPB instruction for TAS() on ARM, but this is deprecated and not available on ARMv6 and later. Instead, make use of a GCC builtin if available. We'll still fall back to SWPB if not, so as not to break existing ports using older GCC versions. Eventually we might want to try using __sync_lock_test_and_set() on some other architectures too, but for now that seems to present only risk and not reward. Back-patch to all supported versions, since people might want to use any of them on more recent ARM chips. Martin Pitt
* Fix pg_restore's direct-to-database mode for INSERT-style table data.Tom Lane2012-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In commit 6545a901aaf84cb05212bb6a7674059908f527c3, I removed the mini SQL lexer that was in pg_backup_db.c, thinking that it had no real purpose beyond separating COPY data from SQL commands, which purpose had been obsoleted by long-ago fixes in pg_dump's archive file format. Unfortunately this was in error: that code was also used to identify command boundaries in INSERT-style table data, which is run together as a single string in the archive file for better compressibility. As a result, direct-to-database restores from archive files made with --inserts or --column-inserts fail in our latest releases, as reported by Dick Visser. To fix, restore the mini SQL lexer, but simplify it by adjusting the calling logic so that it's only required to cope with INSERT-style table data, not arbitrary SQL commands. This allows us to not have to deal with SQL comments, E'' strings, or dollar-quoted strings, none of which have ever been emitted by dumpTableData_insert. Also, fix the lexer to cope with standard-conforming strings, which was the actual bug that the previous patch was meant to solve. Back-patch to all supported branches. The previous patch went back to 8.2, which unfortunately means that the EOL release of 8.2 contains this bug, but I don't think we're doing another 8.2 release just because of that.
* Fix variable confusion in BufferSync().Robert Haas2012-01-06
| | | | | | | | | As noted by Heikki Linnakangas, the previous coding confused the "flags" variable with the "mask" variable. The affect of this appears to be that unlogged buffers would get written out at every checkpoint rather than only at shutdown time. Although that's arguably an acceptable failure mode, I'm back-patching this change, since it seems like a poor idea to rely on this happening to work.
* Fix breakage from earlier plperl fix.Andrew Dunstan2012-01-05
| | | | | Apparently the perl garbage collector was a bit too eager, so here we control when the new SV is garbage collected.
* Work around perl bug in SvPVutf8().Andrew Dunstan2012-01-05
| | | | | | | | | | | Certain things like typeglobs or readonly things like $^V cause perl's SvPVutf8() to die nastily and crash the backend. To avoid that bug we make a copy of the object, which will subsequently be garbage collected. Back patched to 9.1 where we first started using SvPVutf8(). Per -hackers discussion. Original problem reported by David Wheeler.
* Make executor's SELECT INTO code save and restore original tuple receiver.Tom Lane2012-01-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | As previously coded, the QueryDesc's dest pointer was left dangling (pointing at an already-freed receiver object) after ExecutorEnd. It's a bit astonishing that it took us this long to notice, and I'm not sure that the known problem case with SQL functions is the only one. Fix it by saving and restoring the original receiver pointer, which seems the most bulletproof way of ensuring any related bugs are also covered. Per bug #6379 from Paul Ramsey. Back-patch to 8.4 where the current handling of SELECT INTO was introduced.
* Fix coerce_to_target_type for coerce_type's klugy handling of COLLATE.Tom Lane2012-01-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because coerce_type recurses into the argument of a CollateExpr, coerce_to_target_type's longstanding code for detecting whether coerce_type had actually done anything (to wit, returned a different node than it passed in) was broken in 9.1. This resulted in unexpected failures in hide_coercion_node; which was not the latter's fault, since it's critical that we never call it on anything that wasn't inserted by coerce_type. (Else we might decide to "hide" a user-written function call.) Fix by removing and replacing the CollateExpr in coerce_to_target_type itself. This is all pretty ugly but I don't immediately see a way to make it nicer. Per report from Jean-Yves F. Barbier.
* Update per-column ACLs, not only per-table ACL, when changing table owner.Tom Lane2011-12-21
| | | | | | | | | We forgot to modify column ACLs, so privileges were still shown as having been granted by the old owner. This meant that neither the new owner nor a superuser could revoke the now-untraceable-to-table-owner permissions. Per bug #6350 from Marc Balmer. This has been wrong since column ACLs were added, so back-patch to 8.4.
* Fix gincostestimate to handle ScalarArrayOpExpr reasonably.Tom Lane2011-12-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The original coding of this function overlooked the possibility that it could be passed anything except simple OpExpr indexquals. But ScalarArrayOpExpr is possible too, and the code would probably crash (and surely give ridiculous answers) in such a case. Add logic to try to estimate sanely for such cases. In passing, fix the treatment of inner-indexscan cost estimation: it was failing to scale up properly for multiple iterations of a nestloop. (I think somebody might've thought that index_pages_fetched() is linear, but of course it's not.) Report, diagnosis, and preliminary patch by Marti Raudsepp; I refactored it a bit and fixed the cost estimation. Back-patch into 9.1 where the bogus code was introduced.
* Avoid crashing when we have problems unlinking files post-commit.Tom Lane2011-12-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | smgrdounlink takes care to not throw an ERROR if it fails to unlink something, but that caution was rendered useless by commit 3396000684b41e7e9467d1abc67152b39e697035, which put an smgrexists call in front of it; smgrexists *does* throw error if anything looks funny, such as getting a permissions error from trying to open the file. If that happens post-commit, you get a PANIC, and what's worse the same logic appears in the WAL replay code, so the database even fails to restart. Restore the intended behavior by removing the smgrexists call --- it isn't accomplishing anything that we can't do better by adjusting mdunlink's ideas of whether it ought to warn about ENOENT or not. Per report from Joseph Shraibman of unrecoverable crash after trying to drop a table whose FSM fork had somehow gotten chmod'd to 000 permissions. Backpatch to 8.4, where the bogus coding was introduced.
* In ecpg removed old leftover check for given connection name.Michael Meskes2011-12-18
| | | | | | | | Ever since we introduced real prepared statements this should work for different connections. The old solution just emulating prepared statements, though, wasn't able to handle this. Closes: #6309
* Revert the behavior of inet/cidr functions to not unpack the arguments.Heikki Linnakangas2011-12-12
| | | | | | | | | | | I forgot to change the functions to use the PG_GETARG_INET_PP() macro, when I changed DatumGetInetP() to unpack the datum, like Datum*P macros usually do. Also, I screwed up the definition of the PG_GETARG_INET_PP() macro, and didn't notice because it wasn't used. This fixes the memory leak when sorting inet values, as reported by Jochen Erwied and debugged by Andres Freund. Backpatch to 8.3, like the previous patch that broke it.
* Don't set reachedMinRecoveryPoint during crash recovery. In crash recovery,Heikki Linnakangas2011-12-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | we don't reach consistency before replaying all of the WAL. Rename the variable to reachedConsistency, to make its intention clearer. In master, that was an active bug because of the recent patch to immediately PANIC if a reference to a missing page is found in WAL after reaching consistency, as Tom Lane's test case demonstrated. In 9.1 and 9.0, the only consequence was a misleading "consistent recovery state reached at %X/%X" message in the log at the beginning of crash recovery (the database is not consistent at that point yet). In 8.4, the log message was not printed in crash recovery, even though there was a similar reachedMinRecoveryPoint local variable that was also set early. So, backpatch to 9.1 and 9.0.
* Fix corner cases in readlink() usage.Tom Lane2011-12-07
| | | | | | Make sure all calls are protected by HAVE_READLINK, and get the buffer overflow tests right. Be a bit more paranoid about string length in _tarWriteHeader(), too.
* Avoid using readlink() on platforms that don't support itMagnus Hagander2011-12-07
| | | | | | | We don't have any such platforms now, but might in the future. Also, detect cases when a tablespace symlink points to a path that is longer than we can handle, and give a warning.

* Treat ENOTDIR as ENOENT when looking for client certificate fileMagnus Hagander2011-12-03
| | | | | | | | This makes it possible to use a libpq app with home directory set to /dev/null, for example - treating it the same as if the file doesn't exist (which it doesn't). Per bug #6302, reported by Diego Elio Petteno

* Fix getTypeIOParam to support type record[].Tom Lane2011-12-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Since record[] uses array_in, it needs to have its element type passed as typioparam. In HEAD and 9.1, this fix essentially reverts commit 9bc933b2125a5358722490acbc50889887bf7680, which was a hack that is no longer needed since domains don't set their typelem anymore. Before that, adjust the logic so that only domains are excluded from being treated like arrays, rather than assuming that only base types should be included. Add a regression test to demonstrate the need for this. Per report from Maxim Boguk. Back-patch to 8.4, where type record[] was added.
* Update time zone data files to tzdata release 2011n.Tom Lane2011-11-30

* Tweak previous patch to ensure edata->filename always gets initialized.Tom Lane2011-11-30
| | | | | | On a platform that isn't supplying __FILE__, previous coding would either crash or give a stale result for the filename string. Not sure how likely that is, but the original code catered for it, so let's keep doing so.
* Strip file names reported in error messages in vpath buildsPeter Eisentraut2011-11-30
| | | | | | | In vpath builds, the __FILE__ macro that is used in verbose error reports contains the full absolute file name, which makes the error messages excessively verbose. So keep only the base name, thus matching the behavior of non-vpath builds.
* Prevent autovacuum transactions from running in serializable mode.Tom Lane2011-11-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Force the transaction isolation level to READ COMMITTED in autovacuum worker and launcher processes. There is no benefit to using a higher isolation level, and doing so could result in delaying foreground transactions (or maybe even causing unnecessary serialization failures?). Noted by Dan Ports. Also, make sure we disable zero_damaged_pages and statement_timeout in the autovac launcher, not only workers. Now that the launcher can run transactions, these settings could affect its behavior, and it seems like the same arguments apply to the launcher as the workers.

* Disallow deletion of CurrentExtensionObject while running extension script.Tom Lane2011-11-28
| | | | | | | | | | While the deletion in itself wouldn't break things, any further creation of objects in the script would result in dangling pg_depend entries being added by recordDependencyOnCurrentExtension(). An example from Phil Sorber convinced me that this is just barely likely enough to be worth expending a couple lines of code to defend against. The resulting error message might be confusing, but it's better than leaving corrupted catalog contents for the user to deal with.
* Fix some bogosities in pg_dump's foreign-table support.Tom Lane2011-11-28
| | | | | | | | The server name for a foreign table was not quoted at need, as per report from Ronan Dunklau. Also, queries related to FDW options were inadequately schema-qualified in places where the search path isn't just pg_catalog, and were inconsistently formatted everywhere, and we didn't always check that we got the expected number of rows from them.
* Ensure that whole-row junk Vars are always of composite type.Tom Lane2011-11-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The EvalPlanQual machinery assumes that whole-row Vars generated for the outputs of non-table RTEs will be of composite types. However, for the case where the RTE is a function call returning a scalar type, we were doing the wrong thing, as a result of sharing code with a parser case where the function's scalar output is wanted. (Or at least, that's what that case has done historically; it does seem a bit inconsistent.) To fix, extend makeWholeRowVar's API so that it can support both use-cases. This fixes Belinda Cussen's report of crashes during concurrent execution of UPDATEs involving joins to the result of UNNEST() --- in READ COMMITTED mode, we'd run the EvalPlanQual machinery after a conflicting row update commits, and it was expecting to get a HeapTuple not a scalar datum from the "wholerowN" variable referencing the function RTE. Back-patch to 9.0 where the current EvalPlanQual implementation appeared. In 9.1 and up, this patch also fixes failure to attach the correct collation to the Var generated for a scalar-result case. An example: regression=# select upper(x.*) from textcat('ab', 'cd') x; ERROR: could not determine which collation to use for upper() function

* Fix erroneous replay of GIN_UPDATE_META_PAGE WAL records.Tom Lane2011-11-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | A simple thinko in ginRedoUpdateMetapage, namely failing to increment a loop counter, led to inserting records into the last pending-list page in the wrong order (the opposite of that intended). So far as I can tell, this would not upset the code that eventually flushes pending items into the main part of the GIN index. But it did break the code that searched the pending list for matches, resulting in transient failure to find matching entries during index lookups, as illustrated in bug #6307 from Maksym Boguk. Back-patch to 8.4 where the incorrect code was introduced.
* Preserve SQLSTATE when an SPI error is propagated through PL/pythonHeikki Linnakangas2011-11-24
| | | | | | | exception handler. This was a regression in 9.1, when the capability to catch specific SPI errors was added, so backpatch to 9.1. Mika Eloranta, with some editing by Jan Urbański.
* Avoid floating-point underflow while tracking buffer allocation rate.Tom Lane2011-11-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the system is idle for awhile after activity, the "smoothed_alloc" state variable in BgBufferSync converges slowly to zero. With standard IEEE float arithmetic this results in several iterations with denormalized values, which causes kernel traps and annoying log messages on some poorly-designed platforms. There's no real need to track such small values of smoothed_alloc, so we can prevent the kernel traps by forcing it to zero as soon as it's too small to be interesting for our purposes. This issue is purely cosmetic, since the iterations don't happen fast enough for the kernel traps to pose any meaningful performance problem, but still it seems worth shutting up the log messages. The kernel log messages were previously reported by a number of people, but kudos to Greg Matthews for tracking down exactly where they were coming from.

* In plpgsql, allow foreign tables to define row types.Tom Lane2011-11-12
| | | | | | | | | This seems to have been just an oversight in previous foreign-table work. A quick grep didn't turn up any other places where RELKIND_FOREIGN_TABLE was obviously omitted. One change noted by Alexander Soudakov, the other by me. Back-patch to 9.1.
* Throw nice error if server is too old to support psql's \ef or \sf command.Tom Lane2011-11-10
| | | | | | | | Previously, you'd get "function pg_catalog.pg_get_functiondef(integer) does not exist", which is at best rather unprofessional-looking. Back-patch to 8.4 where \ef was introduced. Josh Kupershmidt
* Avoid platform-dependent infinite loop in pg_dump.Tom Lane2011-11-10
| | | | | | | | | | | If malloc(0) returns NULL, the binary search in findSecLabels() will probably go into an infinite loop when there are no security labels, because NULL-1 is greater than NULL after wraparound. (We've seen this pathology before ... I wonder whether there's a way to detect the class of bugs automatically?) Diagnosis and patch by Steve Singer, cosmetic adjustments by me

* Fix random discrepancies between parallel_schedule and serial_schedule.Tom Lane2011-11-08

* Wrap appendrel member outputs in PlaceHolderVars in additional cases.Tom Lane2011-11-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add PlaceHolderVar wrappers as needed to make UNION ALL sub-select output expressions appear non-constant and distinct from each other. This makes the world safe for add_child_rel_equivalences to do what it does. Before, it was possible for that function to add identical expressions to different EquivalenceClasses, which logically should imply merging such ECs, which would be wrong; or to improperly add a constant to an EquivalenceClass, drastically changing its behavior. Per report from Teodor Sigaev. The only currently known consequence of this bug is "MergeAppend child's targetlist doesn't match MergeAppend" planner failures in 9.1 and later. I am suspicious that there may be other failure modes that could affect older release branches; but in the absence of any hard evidence, I'll refrain from back-patching further than 9.1.
