* Repair two places where SIGTERM exit could leave shared memory stateTom Lane2008-04-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | corrupted. (Neither is very important if SIGTERM is used to shut down the whole database cluster together, but there's a problem if someone tries to SIGTERM individual backends.) To do this, introduce new infrastructure macros PG_ENSURE_ERROR_CLEANUP/PG_END_ENSURE_ERROR_CLEANUP that take care of transiently pushing an on_shmem_exit cleanup hook. Also use this method for createdb cleanup --- that wasn't a shared-memory-corruption problem, but SIGTERM abort of createdb could leave orphaned files lying around. Backpatch as far as 8.2. The shmem corruption cases don't exist in 8.1, and the createdb usage doesn't seem important enough to risk backpatching further.
* Fix LOAD_CRIT_INDEX() macro to take out AccessShareLock on the system indexTom Lane2008-04-16
| | | | | | | | | | it is trying to build a relcache entry for. This is an oversight in my 8.2 patch that tried to ensure we always took a lock on a relation before trying to build its relcache entry. The implication is that if someone committed a reindex of a critical system index at about the same time that some other backend were starting up without a valid pg_internal.init file, the second one might PANIC due to not seeing any valid version of the index's pg_class row. Improbable case, but definitely not impossible.

* Fix several datatype input functions that were allowing unused bytes in theirTom Lane2008-04-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | results to contain uninitialized, unpredictable values. While this was okay as far as the datatypes themselves were concerned, it's a problem for the parser because occurrences of the "same" literal might not be recognized as equal by datumIsEqual (and hence not by equal()). It seems sufficient to fix this in the input functions since the only critical use of equal() is in the parser's comparisons of ORDER BY and DISTINCT expressions. Per a trouble report from Marc Cousin. Patch all the way back. Interestingly, array_in did not have the bug before 8.2, which may explain why the issue went unnoticed for so long.

* Defend against JOINs having more than 32K columns altogether. We cannotTom Lane2008-04-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | currently support this because we must be able to build Vars referencing join columns, and varattno is only 16 bits wide. Perhaps this should be improved in future, but considering that it never came up before, I'm not sure the problem is worth much effort. Per bug #4070 from Marcello Ceschia. The problem seems largely academic in 8.0 and 7.4, because they have (different) O(N^2) performance issues with such wide joins, but back-patch all the way anyway.
* Fix a number of places that were making file-type tests infelicitously.Tom Lane2008-03-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The places that did, eg, (statbuf.st_mode & S_IFMT) == S_IFDIR were correct, but there is no good reason not to use S_ISDIR() instead, especially when that's what the other 90% of our code does. The places that did, eg, (statbuf.st_mode & S_IFDIR) were flat out *wrong* and would fail in various platform-specific ways, eg a symlink could be mistaken for a regular file on most Unixen. The actual impact of this is probably small, since the problem cases seem to always involve symlinks or sockets, which are unlikely to be found in the directories that PG code might be scanning. But it's clearly trouble waiting to happen, so patch all the way back anyway. (There seem to be no occurrences of the mistake in 7.4.)
* Adjust DatumGetBool macro so that it isn't fooled by garbage in the DatumTom Lane2008-03-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | to the left of the actual bool value. While in most cases there won't be any, our support for old-style user-defined functions violates the C spec to the extent of calling functions that might return char or short through a function pointer declared to return "char *", which we then coerce to Datum. It is not surprising that the result might contain garbage high-order bits ... what is surprising is that we didn't see such cases long ago. Per report from Magnus. This is a back-patch of a change that was made in HEAD almost exactly a year ago. I had refrained from back-patching at the time, but now we find that this is *necessary* for contrib to work with gcc 4.3.
* Add the missing cyrillic "Yo" characters ('e' and 'E' with two dots) to theHeikki Linnakangas2008-03-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ISO_8859-5 <-> MULE_INTERNAL conversion tables. This was discovered when trying to convert a string containing those characters from ISO_8859-5 to Windows-1251, because we use MULE_INTERNAL/KOI8R as an intermediate encoding between those two. While the missing "Yo" was just an omission in the conversion tables, there are a few other characters like the "Numero" sign ("No" as a single character) that exists in all the other cyrillic encodings (win1251, ISO_8859-5 and cp866), but not in KOI8R. Added comments about that. Patch by Sergey Burladyan. Back-patch to 7.4.
* Fix regexp substring matching (substring(string from pattern)) for the cornerTom Lane2008-03-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | case where there is a match to the pattern overall but the user has specified a parenthesized subexpression and that subexpression hasn't got a match. An example is substring('foo' from 'foo(bar)?'). This should return NULL, since (bar) isn't matched, but it was mistakenly returning the whole-pattern match instead (ie, 'foo'). Per bug #4044 from Rui Martins. This has been broken since the beginning; patch in all supported versions. The old behavior was sufficiently inconsistent that it's impossible to believe anyone is depending on it.

| | | | | | | | | | | | that are reported as "equal" by wcscoll() are checked to see if they really are bitwise equal, and are sorted per strcmp() if not. We made this happen a couple of years ago in the regular code path, but it unaccountably got left out of the Windows/UTF8 case (probably brain fade on my part at the time). As in the prior set of changes, affected users may need to reindex indexes on textual columns. Backpatch as far as 8.2, which is the oldest release we are still supporting on Windows.
* Fix LISTEN/NOTIFY race condition reported by Laurent Birtz, by postponingTom Lane2008-03-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | pg_listener modifications commanded by LISTEN and UNLISTEN until the end of the current transaction. This allows us to hold the ExclusiveLock on pg_listener until after commit, with no greater risk of deadlock than there was before. Aside from fixing the race condition, this gets rid of a truly ugly kludge that was there before, namely having to ignore HeapTupleBeingUpdated failures during NOTIFY. There is a small potential incompatibility, which is that if a transaction issues LISTEN or UNLISTEN and then looks into pg_listener before committing, it won't see any resulting row insertion or deletion, where before it would have. It seems unlikely that anyone would be depending on that, though. This patch also disallows LISTEN and UNLISTEN inside a prepared transaction. That case had some pretty undesirable properties already, such as possibly allowing pg_listener entries to be made for PIDs no longer present, so disallowing it seems like a better idea than trying to maintain the behavior.
* Change hashscan.c to keep its list of active hash index scans inTom Lane2008-03-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | TopMemoryContext, rather than scattered through executor per-query contexts. This poses no danger of memory leak since the ResourceOwner mechanism guarantees release of no-longer-needed items. It is needed because the per-query context might already be released by the time we try to clean up the hash scan list. Report by ykhuang, diagnosis by Heikki. Back-patch to 8.0, where the ResourceOwner-based cleanup was introduced. The given test case does not fail before 8.2, probably because we rearranged transaction abort processing somehow; but this coding is undoubtedly risky so I'll patch 8.0 and 8.1 anyway.

| | | | | | | | | | caches that we don't actually need to touch. This saves some trivial number of cycles and avoids certain cases of deadlock when doing concurrent VACUUM FULL on system catalogs. Per report from Gavin Roy. Backpatch to 8.2. In earlier versions, CatalogCacheInitializeCache didn't lock the relation so there's no deadlock risk (though that certainly had plenty of risks of its own).
* Fix PREPARE TRANSACTION to reject the case where the transaction has dropped aTom Lane2008-03-04

* Fix several memory leaks when rescanning SRFs. Arrange for an SRF'sNeil Conway2008-02-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "multi_call_ctx" to be a distinct sub-context of the EState's per-query context, and delete the multi_call_ctx as soon as the SRF finishes execution. This avoids leaking SRF memory until the end of the current query, which is particularly egregious when the SRF is scanned multiple times. This change also fixes a leak of the fields of the AttInMetadata struct in shutdown_MultiFuncCall(). Also fix a leak of the SRF result TupleDesc when rescanning a FunctionScan node. The TupleDesc is allocated in the per-query context for every call to ExecMakeTableFunctionResult(), so we should free it after calling that function. Since the SRF might choose to return a non-expendable TupleDesc, we only free the TupleDesc if it is not being reference-counted. Backpatch to 8.3 and 8.2 stable branches.

* Fix datetime input to behave correctly for Feb 29 in years BC.Tom Lane2008-02-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Formerly, DecodeDate attempted to verify the day-of-the-month exactly, but it was under the misapprehension that it would know whether we were looking at a BC year or not. In reality this check can't be made until the calling function (eg DecodeDateTime) has processed all the fields. So, split the BC adjustment and validity checks out into a new function ValidateDate that is called only after processing all the fields. In passing, this patch makes DecodeTimeOnly work for BC inputs, which it never did before. (The historical veracity of all this is nonexistent, of course, but if we're going to say we support proleptic Gregorian calendar then we should do it correctly. In any case the unpatched code is broken because it could emit dates that it would then reject on re-inputting.) Per report from Bernd Helmle. Back-patch as far as 8.0; in 7.x we were not using our own calendar support and so this seems a bit too risky to put into 7.4.

| | | | | | | | | | non-default settings for the postmaster's port number. The code to parse command line options and postgresql.conf entries wasn't quite right about whitespace or quotes, and it was coded in a not-very-readable way too. Per bug #3969 from Itagaki Takahiro, though this is more extensive than his proposed patch (which fixed only the whitespace problem). This code has been broken since it was put in in 8.0, so patch all the way back.

| | | | | | | | | | OID or new relfilenode. If the existing OIDs are sufficiently densely populated, this could take a long time (perhaps even be an infinite loop), so it seems wise to allow the system to respond to a cancel interrupt here. Per a gripe from Jacky Leng. Backpatch as far as 8.1. Older versions just fail on OID collision, instead of looping.

* Repair VACUUM FULL bug introduced by HOT patch: the original way ofTom Lane2008-02-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | calculating a page's initial free space was fine, and should not have been "improved" by letting PageGetHeapFreeSpace do it. VACUUM FULL is going to reclaim LP_DEAD line pointers later, so there is no need for a guard against the page being too full of line pointers, and having one risks rejecting pages that are perfectly good move destinations. This also exposed a second bug, which is that the empty_end_pages logic assumed that any page with no live tuples would get entered into the fraged_pages list automatically (by virtue of having more free space than the threshold in the do_frag calculation). This assumption certainly seems risky when a low fillfactor has been chosen, and even without tunable fillfactor I think it could conceivably fail on a page with many unused line pointers. So fix the code to force do_frag true when notup is true, and patch this part of the fix all the way back. Per report from Tomas Szepe.
* Some variants of ALTER OWNER tried to make the "object" field of theTom Lane2008-02-07
| | | | | | | | | | statement be a list of bare C strings, rather than String nodes, which is what they need to be for copyfuncs/equalfuncs to work. Fortunately these node types never go out to disk (if they did, we'd likely have noticed the problem sooner), so we can just fix it without creating a need for initdb. This bug has been there since 8.0, but 8.3 exposes it in a more common code path (Parse messages) than prior releases did. Per bug #3940 from Vladimir Kokovic.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | erroring out of a wait. We can use a PG_TRY block for this, but add a comment explaining why it'd be a bad idea to use it for any other state cleanup. Back-patch to 8.2. Prior releases had the same issue, but only with respect to the process title, which is likely to get reset almost immediately anyway after the transaction aborts, so it seems not worth changing them. In 8.2 and HEAD, the pg_stat_activity "waiting" flag could remain set incorrectly for a long time. Per report from Gurjeet Singh.

An integer argument of more than INT_MAX/1000 milliseconds (ie, about 35 minutes) would provoke a wrong result, resulting in incorrect enforcement of statement_timestamp values larger than that.

| | | | | | | | | | subquery output column exactly once left-to-right. Although this is the case in the original parser output, it might not be so after rewriting and constant-folding, as illustrated by bug #3882 from Jan Mate. Instead scan the subquery's target list to obtain needed per-column information; this is duplicative of what the parser did, but only a couple dozen lines need be copied, and we can clean up a couple of notational uglinesses. Bug was introduced in 8.2 as part of revision of SubLink representation.
* Fix an ancient oversight in libpq's handling of V3-protocol COPY OUT mode:Tom Lane2008-01-14
| | | | | | | we need to be able to swallow NOTICE messages, and potentially also ParameterStatus messages (although the latter would be a bit weird), without exiting COPY OUT state. Fix it, and adjust the protocol documentation to emphasize the need for this. Per off-list report from Alexander Galler.
* Fix logical errors in constraint exclusion: we cannot assume that a CHECKTom Lane2008-01-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | constraint yields TRUE for every row of its table, only that it does not yield FALSE (a NULL result isn't disallowed). This breaks a couple of implications that would be true in two-valued logic. I had put in one such mistake in an 8.2.5 patch: foo IS NULL doesn't refute a strict operator on foo. But there was another in the original 8.2 release: NOT foo doesn't refute an expression whose truth would imply the truth of foo. Per report from Rajesh Kumar Mallah. To preserve the ability to do constraint exclusion with one partition holding NULL values, extend relation_excluded_by_constraints() to check for attnotnull flags, and add col IS NOT NULL expressions to the set of constraints we hope to refute.
* Fix a conceptual error in my patch of 2007-10-26 that avoided consideringTom Lane2008-01-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | clauseless joins of relations that have unexploited join clauses. Rather than looking at every other base relation in the query, the correct thing is to examine the other relations in the "initial_rels" list of the current make_rel_from_joinlist() invocation, because those are what we actually have the ability to join against. This might be a subset of the whole query in cases where join_collapse_limit or from_collapse_limit or full joins have prevented merging the whole query into a single join problem. This is a bit untidy because we have to pass those rels down through a new PlannerInfo field, but it's necessary. Per bug #3865 from Oleg Kharin.
* Fix a bug in 8.2.x that was exposed while investigating Kevin Grittner'sTom Lane2008-01-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | report of poor planning in 8.3: it's unsafe to push a constant across an outer join when the outer-join condition is delayed by lower outer joins, unless we recheck the outer-join condition at the upper outer join. 8.2.x doesn't really have the ability to tell whether this is the case or not, but fortunately it doesn't matter --- it seems most desirable to keep the join condition whether it's entirely redundant or not. However, it's usually mostly redundant, so force its selectivity to 1.0. It might be a good idea to back-patch this into 8.1 as well, but I'll refrain until/unless there's evidence that 8.1 actually fails on any cases that this would fix.
* A long time ago, Peter pointed out that ruleutils.c didn't dump simpleTom Lane2008-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | constant ORDER/GROUP BY entries properly: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2001-04/msg00457.php The original solution to that was in fact no good, as demonstrated by today's report from Martin Pitt: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2008-01/msg00027.php We can't use the column-number-reference format for a constant that is a resjunk targetlist entry, a case that was unfortunately not thought of in the original discussion. What we can do instead (which did not work at the time, but does work in 7.3 and up) is to emit the constant with explicit ::typename decoration, even if it otherwise wouldn't need it. This is sufficient to keep the parser from thinking it's a column number reference, and indeed is probably what the user must have done to get such a thing into the querytree in the first place.

| | | | Security: CVE-2007-4769, CVE-2007-4772, CVE-2007-6067, CVE-2007-6600, CVE-2007-6601
* Make standard maintenance operations (including VACUUM, ANALYZE, REINDEX,Tom Lane2008-01-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | and CLUSTER) execute as the table owner rather than the calling user, using the same privilege-switching mechanism already used for SECURITY DEFINER functions. The purpose of this change is to ensure that user-defined functions used in index definitions cannot acquire the privileges of a superuser account that is performing routine maintenance. While a function used in an index is supposed to be IMMUTABLE and thus not able to do anything very interesting, there are several easy ways around that restriction; and even if we could plug them all, there would remain a risk of reading sensitive information and broadcasting it through a covert channel such as CPU usage. To prevent bypassing this security measure, execution of SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION and SET ROLE is now forbidden within a SECURITY DEFINER context. Thanks to Itagaki Takahiro for reporting this vulnerability. Security: CVE-2007-6600
