* Fix incorrect pg_proc.proallargtypes entries for two built-in functions.Tom Lane2014-04-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | pg_sequence_parameters() and pg_identify_object() have had incorrect proallargtypes entries since 9.1 and 9.3 respectively. This was mostly masked by the correct information in proargtypes, but a few operations such as pg_get_function_arguments() (and thus psql's \df display) would show the wrong data types for these functions' input parameters. In HEAD, fix the wrong info, bump catversion, and add an opr_sanity regression test to catch future mistakes of this sort. In the back branches, just fix the wrong info so that installations initdb'd with future minor releases will have the right data. We can't force an initdb, and it doesn't seem like a good idea to add a regression test that will fail on existing installations. Andres Freund

* Fix unused-variable warning on Windows.Tom Lane2014-04-17
| | | | | | | | Introduced in 585bca39: msgid is not used in the Windows code path. Also adjust comments a tad (mostly to keep pgindent from messing it up). David Rowley
* Set the all-visible flag on heap page before writing WAL record, not after.Heikki Linnakangas2014-04-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If we set the all-visible flag after writing WAL record, and XLogInsert takes a full-page image of the page, the image would not include the flag. We will then proceed to set the VM bit, which would then be set without the corresponding all-visible flag on the heap page. Found by comparing page images on master and standby, after writing/replaying each WAL record. (There is still a discrepancy: the all-visible flag won't be set after replaying the HEAP_CLEAN record, even though it is set in the master. However, it will be set when replaying the HEAP2_VISIBLE record and setting the VM bit, so the all-visible flag and VM bit are always consistent on the standby, even though they are momentarily out-of-sync with master) Backpatch to 9.3 where this code was introduced.
* Fix object identities for text search objectsAlvaro Herrera2014-04-16
| | | | | | | We were neglecting to schema-qualify them. Backpatch to 9.3, where object identities were introduced as a concept by commit f8348ea32ec8.
* Attempt to get plpython regression tests working again for MSVC builds.Andrew Dunstan2014-04-16
| | | | | | | | | This has probably been broken for quite a long time. Buildfarm member currawong's current results suggest that it's been broken since 9.1, so backpatch this to that branch. This only supports Python 2 - I will handle Python 3 separately, but this is a fairly simple fix.
* Use AF_UNSPEC not PF_UNSPEC in getaddrinfo calls.Tom Lane2014-04-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | According to the Single Unix Spec and assorted man pages, you're supposed to use the constants named AF_xxx when setting ai_family for a getaddrinfo call. In a few places we were using PF_xxx instead. Use of PF_xxx appears to be an ancient BSD convention that was not adopted by later standardization. On BSD and most later Unixen, it doesn't matter much because those constants have equivalent values anyway; but nonetheless this code is not per spec. In the same vein, replace PF_INET by AF_INET in one socket() call, which wasn't even consistent with the other socket() call in the same function let alone the remainder of our code. Per investigation of a Cygwin trouble report from Marco Atzeri. It's probably a long shot that this will fix his issue, but it's wrong in any case.
* Fix timeout in LDAP lookup of libpq connection parametersMagnus Hagander2014-04-16
| | | | | | | | | | | Bind attempts to an LDAP server should time out after two seconds, allowing additional lines in the service control file to be parsed (which provide a fall back to a secondary LDAP server or default options). The existing code failed to enforce that timeout during TCP connect, resulting in a hang far longer than two seconds if the LDAP server does not respond. Laurenz Albe
* check socket creation errors against PGINVALID_SOCKETBruce Momjian2014-04-16
| | | | | | | | Previously, in some places, socket creation errors were checked for negative values, which is not true for Windows because sockets are unsigned. This masked socket creation errors on Windows. Backpatch through 9.0. 8.4 doesn't have the infrastructure to fix this.
* Use correctly-sized buffer when zero-filling a WAL file.Heikki Linnakangas2014-04-16
| | | | | | I mixed up BLCKSZ and XLOG_BLCKSZ when I changed the way the buffer is allocated a couple of weeks ago. With the default settings, they are both 8k, but they can be changed at compile-time.
* Several fixes to array handling in ecpg.Michael Meskes2014-04-09
| | | | Patches by Ashutosh Bapat <ashutosh.bapat@enterprisedb.com>
* Fix hot standby bug with GiST scans.Heikki Linnakangas2014-04-08
| | | | | | | | | | Don't reset the rightlink of a page when replaying a page update record. This was a leftover from pre-hot standby days, when it was not possible to have scans concurrent with WAL replay. Resetting the right-link was not necessary back then either, but it was done for the sake of tidiness. But with hot standby, it's wrong, because a concurrent scan might still need it. Backpatch all versions with hot standby, 9.0 and above.
* Assert that strong-lock count is >0 everywhere it's decremented.Robert Haas2014-04-07
| | | | | | | | | | The one existing assertion of this type has tripped a few times in the buildfarm lately, but it's not clear whether the problem is really originating there or whether it's leftovers from a trip through one of the other two paths that lack a matching assertion. So add one. Since the same bug(s) most likely exist(s) in the back-branches also, back-patch to 9.2, where the fast-path lock mechanism was added.
* Block signals earlier during postmaster startup.Tom Lane2014-04-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Formerly, we set up the postmaster's signal handling only when we were about to start launching subprocesses. This is a bad idea though, as it means that for example a SIGINT arriving before that will kill the postmaster instantly, perhaps leaving lockfiles, socket files, shared memory, etc laying about. We'd rather that such a signal caused orderly postmaster termination including releasing of those resources. A simple fix is to move the PostmasterMain stanza that initializes signal handling to an earlier point, before we've created any such resources. Then, an early-arriving signal will be blocked until we're ready to deal with it in the usual way. (The only part that really needs to be moved up is blocking of signals, but it seems best to keep the signal handler installation calls together with that; for one thing this ensures the kernel won't drop any signals we wished to get. The handlers won't get invoked in any case until we unblock signals in ServerLoop.) Per a report from MauMau. He proposed changing the way "pg_ctl stop" works to deal with this, but that'd just be masking one symptom not fixing the core issue. It's been like this since forever, so back-patch to all supported branches.
* Fix processing of PGC_BACKEND GUC parameters on Windows.Tom Lane2014-04-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | EXEC_BACKEND builds (i.e., Windows) failed to absorb values of PGC_BACKEND parameters if they'd been changed post-startup via the config file. This for example prevented log_connections from working if it were turned on post-startup. The mechanism for handling this case has always been a bit of a kluge, and it wasn't revisited when we implemented EXEC_BACKEND. While in a normal forking environment new backends will inherit the postmaster's value of such settings, EXEC_BACKEND backends have to read the settings from the CONFIG_EXEC_PARAMS file, and they were mistakenly rejecting them. So this case has always been broken in the Windows port; so back-patch to all supported branches. Amit Kapila
* Fix tablespace creation WAL replay to work on Windows.Tom Lane2014-04-04
| | | | | | | | | | The code segment that removes the old symlink (if present) wasn't clued into the fact that on Windows, symlinks are junction points which have to be removed with rmdir(). Backpatch to 9.0, where the failing code was introduced. MauMau, reviewed by Muhammad Asif Naeem and Amit Kapila
* Allow "-C variable" and "--describe-config" even to root users.Tom Lane2014-04-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's no really compelling reason to refuse to do these read-only, non-server-starting options as root, and there's at least one good reason to allow -C: pg_ctl uses -C to find out the true data directory location when pointed at a config-only directory. On Windows, this is done before dropping administrator privileges, which means that pg_ctl fails for administrators if and only if a config-only layout is used. Since the root-privilege check is done so early in startup, it's a bit awkward to check for these switches. Make the somewhat arbitrary decision that we'll only skip the root check if -C is the first switch. This is not just to make the code a bit simpler: it also guarantees that we can't misinterpret a --boot mode switch. (While AuxiliaryProcessMain doesn't currently recognize any such switch, it might have one in the future.) This is no particular problem for pg_ctl, and since the whole behavior is undocumented anyhow, it's not a documentation issue either. (--describe-config only works as the first switch anyway, so this is no restriction for that case either.) Back-patch to 9.2 where pg_ctl first began to use -C. MauMau, heavily edited by me
* Fix bogus time printout in walreceiver's debug log messages.Tom Lane2014-04-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The displayed sendtime and receipttime were always exactly equal, because somebody forgot that timestamptz_to_str returns a static buffer (thereby simplifying life for most callers, at the cost of complicating it for those who need two results concurrently). Apply the same pstrdup solution used by the other call sites with this issue. Back-patch to 9.2 where the faulty code was introduced. Per bug #9849 from Haruka Takatsuka, though this is not exactly his patch. Possibly we should change timestamptz_to_str's API, but I wouldn't want to do so in the back branches.
* Move multixid allocation out of critical section.Heikki Linnakangas2014-04-04
| | | | | | It can fail if you run out of memory. This call was added in 9.3, so backpatch to 9.3 only.
* Avoid allocations in critical sections.Heikki Linnakangas2014-04-04
| | | | If a palloc in a critical section fails, it becomes a PANIC.
* Fix non-equivalence of VARIADIC and non-VARIADIC function call formats.Tom Lane2014-04-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For variadic functions (other than VARIADIC ANY), the syntaxes foo(x,y,...) and foo(VARIADIC ARRAY[x,y,...]) should be considered equivalent, since the former is converted to the latter at parse time. They have indeed been equivalent, in all releases before 9.3. However, commit 75b39e790 made an ill-considered decision to record which syntax had been used in FuncExpr nodes, and then to make equal() test that in checking node equality --- which caused the syntaxes to not be seen as equivalent by the planner. This is the underlying cause of bug #9817 from Dmitry Ryabov. It might seem that a quick fix would be to make equal() disregard FuncExpr.funcvariadic, but the same commit made that untenable, because the field actually *is* semantically significant for some VARIADIC ANY functions. This patch instead adopts the approach of redefining funcvariadic (and aggvariadic, in HEAD) as meaning that the last argument is a variadic array, whether it got that way by parser intervention or was supplied explicitly by the user. Therefore the value will always be true for non-ANY variadic functions, restoring the principle of equivalence. (However, the planner will continue to consider use of VARIADIC as a meaningful difference for VARIADIC ANY functions, even though some such functions might disregard it.) In HEAD, this change lets us simplify the decompilation logic in ruleutils.c, since the funcvariadic/aggvariadic flag tells directly whether to print VARIADIC. However, in 9.3 we have to continue to cope with existing stored rules/views that might contain the previous definition. Fortunately, this just means no change in ruleutils.c, since its existing behavior effectively ignores funcvariadic for all cases other than VARIADIC ANY functions. In HEAD, bump catversion to reflect the fact that FuncExpr.funcvariadic changed meanings; this is sort of pro forma, since I don't believe any built-in views are affected. Unfortunately, this patch doesn't magically fix everything for affected 9.3 users. After installing 9.3.5, they might need to recreate their rules/views/indexes containing variadic function calls in order to get everything consistent with the new definition. As in the cited bug, the symptom of a problem would be failure to use a nominally matching index that has a variadic function call in its definition. We'll need to mention this in the 9.3.5 release notes.
* Avoid palloc in critical section in GiST WAL-logging.Heikki Linnakangas2014-04-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Memory allocation can fail if you run out of memory, and inside a critical section that will lead to a PANIC. Use conservatively-sized arrays in stack instead. There was previously no explicit limit on the number of pages a GiST split can produce, it was only limited by the number of LWLocks that can be held simultaneously (100 at the moment). This patch adds an explicit limit of 75 pages. That should be plenty, a typical split shouldn't produce more than 2-3 page halves. The bug has been there forever, but only backpatch down to 9.1. The code was changed significantly in 9.1, and it doesn't seem worth the risk or trouble to adapt this for 9.0 and 8.4.
* Fix assorted issues in client host name lookup.Tom Lane2014-04-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The code for matching clients to pg_hba.conf lines that specify host names (instead of IP address ranges) failed to complain if reverse DNS lookup failed; instead it silently didn't match, so that you might end up getting a surprising "no pg_hba.conf entry for ..." error, as seen in bug #9518 from Mike Blackwell. Since we don't want to make this a fatal error in situations where pg_hba.conf contains a mixture of host names and IP addresses (clients matching one of the numeric entries should not have to have rDNS data), remember the lookup failure and mention it as DETAIL if we get to "no pg_hba.conf entry". Apply the same approach to forward-DNS lookup failures, too, rather than treating them as immediate hard errors. Along the way, fix a couple of bugs that prevented us from detecting an rDNS lookup error reliably, and make sure that we make only one rDNS lookup attempt; formerly, if the lookup attempt failed, the code would try again for each host name entry in pg_hba.conf. Since more or less the whole point of this design is to ensure there's only one lookup attempt not one per entry, the latter point represents a performance bug that seems sufficient justification for back-patching. Also, adjust src/port/getaddrinfo.c so that it plays as well as it can with this code. Which is not all that well, since it does not have actual support for rDNS lookup, but at least it should return the expected (and required by spec) error codes so that the main code correctly perceives the lack of functionality as a lookup failure. It's unlikely that PG is still being used in production on any machines that require our getaddrinfo.c, so I'm not excited about working harder than this. To keep the code in the various branches similar, this includes back-patching commits c424d0d1052cb4053c8712ac44123f9b9a9aa3f2 and 1997f34db4687e671690ed054c8f30bb501b1168 into 9.2 and earlier. Back-patch to 9.1 where the facility for hostnames in pg_hba.conf was introduced.
* Fix bugs in manipulation of PgBackendStatus.st_clienthostname.Tom Lane2014-04-01
| | | | | | | | | | Initialization of this field was not being done according to the st_changecount protocol (it has to be done within the changecount increment range, not outside). And the test to see if the value should be reported as null was wrong. Noted while perusing uses of Port.remote_hostname. This was wrong from the introduction of this code (commit 4a25bc145), so back-patch to 9.1.
* Mark FastPathStrongRelationLocks volatile.Robert Haas2014-03-31
| | | | | | | | | Otherwise, the compiler might decide to move modifications to data within this structure outside the enclosing SpinLockAcquire / SpinLockRelease pair, leading to shared memory corruption. This may or may not explain a recent lmgr-related buildfarm failure on prairiedog, but it needs to be fixed either way.
* Count buffers dirtied due to hints in pgBufferUsage.shared_blks_dirtied.Robert Haas2014-03-31
| | | | | | | | | | Previously, such buffers weren't counted, with the possible result that EXPLAIN (BUFFERS) and pg_stat_statements would understate the true number of blocks dirtied by an SQL statement. Back-patch to 9.2, where this counter was introduced. Amit Kapila
* Fix dumping of a materialized view that depends on a table's primary key.Tom Lane2014-03-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is possible for a view or materialized view to depend on a table's primary key, if the view query relies on functional dependency to abbreviate a GROUP BY list. This is problematic for pg_dump since we ordinarily want to dump view definitions in the pre-data section but indexes in post-data. pg_dump knows how to deal with this situation for regular views, by breaking the view's ON SELECT rule apart from the view proper. But it had not been taught what to do about materialized views, and in fact mistakenly dumped them as regular views in such cases, as seen in bug #9616 from Jesse Denardo. If we had CREATE OR REPLACE MATERIALIZED VIEW, we could fix this in a manner analogous to what's done for regular views; but we don't yet, and we'd not back-patch such a thing into 9.3 anyway. As a hopefully- temporary workaround, break the circularity by postponing the matview into post-data altogether when this case occurs.
* Revert "Secure Unix-domain sockets of "make check" temporary clusters."Noah Misch2014-03-29
| | | | | About half of the buildfarm members use too-long directory names, strongly suggesting that this approach is a dead end.
* Secure Unix-domain sockets of "make check" temporary clusters.Noah Misch2014-03-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Any OS user able to access the socket can connect as the bootstrap superuser and in turn execute arbitrary code as the OS user running the test. Protect against that by placing the socket in the temporary data directory, which has mode 0700 thanks to initdb. Back-patch to 8.4 (all supported versions). The hazard remains wherever the temporary cluster accepts TCP connections, notably on Windows. Attempts to run "make check" from a directory with a long name will now fail. An alternative not sharing that problem was to place the socket in a subdirectory of /tmp, but that is only secure if /tmp is sticky. The PG_REGRESS_SOCK_DIR environment variable is available as a workaround when testing from long directory paths. As a convenient side effect, this lets testing proceed smoothly in builds that override DEFAULT_PGSOCKET_DIR. Popular non-default values like /var/run/postgresql are often unwritable to the build user. Security: CVE-2014-0067
* Fix refcounting bug in PLy_modify_tuple().Tom Lane2014-03-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We must increment the refcount on "plntup" as soon as we have the reference, not sometime later. Otherwise, if an error is thrown in between, the Py_XDECREF(plntup) call in the PG_CATCH block removes a refcount we didn't add, allowing the object to be freed even though it's still part of the plpython function's parsetree. This appears to be the cause of crashes seen on buildfarm member prairiedog. It's a bit surprising that we've not seen it fail repeatably before, considering that the regression tests have been exercising the faulty code path since 2009. The real-world impact is probably minimal, since it's unlikely anyone would be provoking the "TD["new"] is not a dictionary" error in production, and that's the only case that is actually wrong. Still, it's a bug affecting the regression tests, so patch all supported branches. In passing, remove dead variable "plstr", and demote "platt" to a local variable inside the PG_TRY block, since we don't need to clean it up in the PG_CATCH path.
* Don't forget to flush XLOG_PARAMETER_CHANGE record.Fujii Masao2014-03-26
| | | | Backpatch to 9.0 where XLOG_PARAMETER_CHANGE record was instroduced.
* Address ccvalid/ccnoinherit in TupleDesc support functions.Noah Misch2014-03-23
| | | | | | | | | equalTupleDescs() neglected both of these ConstrCheck fields, and CreateTupleDescCopyConstr() neglected ccnoinherit. At this time, the only known behavior defect resulting from these omissions is constraint exclusion disregarding a CHECK constraint validated by an ALTER TABLE VALIDATE CONSTRAINT statement issued earlier in the same transaction. Back-patch to 9.2, where these fields were introduced.
* Properly check for readdir/closedir() failuresBruce Momjian2014-03-21
| | | | | | | Clear errno before calling readdir() and handle old MinGW errno bug while adding full test coverage for readdir/closedir failures. Backpatch through 8.4.
* Fix memory leak during regular expression execution.Tom Lane2014-03-19
| | | | | | | | For a regex containing backrefs, pg_regexec() might fail to free all the sub-DFAs that were created during execution, resulting in a permanent (session lifespan) memory leak. Problem was introduced by me in commit 587359479acbbdc95c8e37da40707e37097423f5. Per report from Sandro Santilli; diagnosis by Greg Stark.
* Fix pg_dumpall option parsing: -i doesn't take an argument.Tom Lane2014-03-18
| | | | | | This used to work properly, but got fat-fingered in commit 3dee636e0404885d07885d41c0d70e50c784f324. Per bug #9620 from Nicolas Payart.

* During index build, check and elog (not just Assert) for broken HOT chain.Tom Lane2014-03-17
| | | | | | | The recently-fixed bug in WAL replay could result in not finding a parent tuple for a heap-only tuple. The existing code would either Assert or generate an invalid index entry, neither of which is desirable. Throw a regular error instead.
* Fix bug in clean shutdown of walsender that pg_receiving is connecting to.Fujii Masao2014-03-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | On clean shutdown, walsender waits for all WAL to be replicated to a standby, and exits. It determined whether that replication had been completed by checking whether its sent location had been equal to a standby's flush location. Unfortunately this condition never becomes true when the standby such as pg_receivexlog which always returns an invalid flush location is connecting to walsender, and then walsender waits forever. This commit changes walsender so that it just checks a standby's write location if a flush location is invalid. Back-patch to 9.1 where enough infrastructure for this exists.
* plperl: Fix memory leak in hek2cstrAlvaro Herrera2014-03-16

* Fix advertised dispsize for libpq's sslmode connection parameter.Tom Lane2014-03-16
| | | | | | | | | | "8" was correct back when "disable" was the longest allowed value, but since "verify-full" was added, it should be "12". Given the lack of complaints, I wouldn't be surprised if nobody is actually using these values ... but still, if they're in the API, they should be right. Noticed while pursuing a different problem. It's been wrong for quite a long time, so back-patch to all supported branches.
* Update time zone data files to tzdata release 2014a.Tom Lane2014-03-15
| | | | DST law changes in Fiji, Turkey; historical changes in Israel, Ukraine.
* Prevent interrupts while reporting non-ERROR elog messages.Tom Lane2014-03-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This should eliminate the risk of recursive entry to syslog(3), which appears to be the cause of the hang reported in bug #9551 from James Morton. Arguably, the real problem here is auth.c's willingness to turn on ImmediateInterruptOK while executing fairly wide swaths of backend code. We may well need to work at narrowing the code ranges in which the authentication_timeout interrupt is enabled. For the moment, though, this is a cheap and reasonably noninvasive fix for a field-reported failure; the other approach would be complex and not necessarily bug-free itself. Back-patch to all supported branches.
* Avoid transaction-commit race condition while receiving a NOTIFY message.Tom Lane2014-03-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use TransactionIdIsInProgress, then TransactionIdDidCommit, to distinguish whether a NOTIFY message's originating transaction is in progress, committed, or aborted. The previous coding could accept a message from a transaction that was still in-progress according to the PGPROC array; if the client were fast enough at starting a new transaction, it might fail to see table rows added/updated by the message-sending transaction. Which of course would usually be the point of receiving the message. We noted this type of race condition long ago in tqual.c, but async.c overlooked it. The race condition probably cannot occur unless there are multiple NOTIFY senders in action, since an individual backend doesn't send NOTIFY signals until well after it's done committing. But if two senders commit in close succession, it's certainly possible that we could see the second sender's message within the race condition window while responding to the signal from the first one. Per bug #9557 from Marko Tiikkaja. This patch is slightly more invasive than what he proposed, since it removes the now-redundant TransactionIdDidAbort call. Back-patch to 9.0, where the current NOTIFY implementation was introduced.
* In WAL replay, restore GIN metapage unconditionally to avoid torn page.Heikki Linnakangas2014-03-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We don't take a full-page image of the GIN metapage; instead, the WAL record contains all the information required to reconstruct it from scratch. But to avoid torn page hazards, we must re-initialize it from the WAL record every time, even if it already has a greater LSN, similar to how normal full page images are restored. This was highly unlikely to cause any problems in practice, because the GIN metapage is small. We rely on an update smaller than a 512 byte disk sector to be atomic elsewhere, at least in pg_control. But better safe than sorry, and this would be easy to overlook if more fields are added to the metapage so that it's no longer small. Reported by Noah Misch. Backpatch to all supported versions.
* Fix tracking of psql script line numbers during \copy from another place.Tom Lane2014-03-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 08146775acd8bfe0fcc509c71857abb928697171 changed do_copy() to temporarily scribble on pset.cur_cmd_source. That was a mighty ugly bit of code in any case, but in particular it broke handleCopyIn's ability to tell whether it was reading from the current script source file (in which case pset.lineno should be incremented for each line of COPY data), or from someplace else (in which case it shouldn't). The former case still worked, the latter not so much. The visible effect was that line numbers reported for errors in a script file would be wrong if there were an earlier \copy that was reading anything other than inline-in-the-script-file data. To fix, introduce another pset field that holds the file do_copy wants the COPY code to use. This is a little bit ugly, but less so than passing the file down explicitly through several layers that aren't COPY-specific. Extracted from a larger patch by Kumar Rajeev Rastogi; that patch also changes printing of COPY command tags, which is not a bug fix and shouldn't get back-patched. This particular idea was from a suggestion by Amit Khandekar, if I'm reading the thread correctly. Back-patch to 9.2 where the faulty code was introduced.
* Fix dangling smgr_owner pointer when a fake relcache entry is freed.Heikki Linnakangas2014-03-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | A fake relcache entry can "own" a SmgrRelation object, like a regular relcache entry. But when it was free'd, the owner field in SmgrRelation was not cleared, so it was left pointing to free'd memory. Amazingly this apparently hasn't caused crashes in practice, or we would've heard about it earlier. Andres found this with Valgrind. Report and fix by Andres Freund, with minor modifications by me. Backpatch to all supported versions.
* Avoid memcpy() with same source and destination address.Heikki Linnakangas2014-03-07
| | | | | | | The behavior of that is undefined, although unlikely to lead to problems in practice. Found by running regression tests with Valgrind.
