* Fix handling of -d "connection string" in pg_dump/pg_restore.Tom Lane2020-09-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Parallel pg_dump failed if its -d parameter was a connection string containing any essential information other than host, port, or username. The same was true for pg_restore with --create. The reason is that these scenarios failed to preserve the connection string from the command line; the code felt free to replace that with just the database name when reconnecting from a pg_dump parallel worker or after creating the target database. By chance, parallel pg_restore did not suffer this defect, as long as you didn't say --create. In practice it seems that the error would be obvious only if the connstring included essential, non-default SSL or GSS parameters. This may explain why it took us so long to notice. (It also makes it very difficult to craft a regression test case illustrating the problem, since the test would fail in builds without those options.) Fix by refactoring so that ConnectDatabase always receives all the relevant options directly from the command line, rather than reconstructed values. Inject a different database name, when necessary, by relying on libpq's rules for handling multiple "dbname" parameters. While here, let's get rid of the essentially duplicate _connectDB function, as well as some obsolete nearby cruft. Per bug #16604 from Zsolt Ero. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* Avoid possible dangling-pointer access in tsearch_readline_callback.Tom Lane2020-09-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | tsearch_readline() saves the string pointer it returns to the caller for possible use in the associated error context callback. However, the caller will usually pfree that string sometime before it next calls tsearch_readline(), so that there is a window where an ereport will try to print an already-freed string. The built-in users of tsearch_readline() happen to all do that pfree at the bottoms of their loops, so that the window is effectively empty for them. However, this is not documented as a requirement, and contrib/dict_xsyn doesn't do it like that, so it seems likely that third-party dictionaries might have live bugs here. The practical consequences of this seem pretty limited in any case, since production builds wouldn't clobber the freed string immediately, besides which you'd not expect syntax errors in dictionary files being used in production. Still, it's clearly a bug waiting to bite somebody. Fix by pstrdup'ing the string to be saved for the error callback, and then pfree'ing it next time through. It's been like this for a long time, so back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/48A4FA71-524E-41B9-953A-FD04EF36E2E7@yesql.se

| | | | | | | | | | | | These two SQL functions are aliases for the same C function, so this change has no semantic effect.

* Fix bogus completion tag usage in walsenderAlvaro Herrera2020-09-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since commit fd5942c18f97 (2012, 9.3-era), walsender has been sending completion tags for certain replication commands twice -- and they're not even consistent. Apparently neither libpq nor JDBC have a problem with it, but it's not kosher. Fix by remove the EndCommand() call in the common code path for them all, and inserting specific calls to EndReplicationCommand() specifically in those places where it's needed. EndReplicationCommand() is a new simple function to send the completion tag for replication commands. Do this instead of sending a generic SELECT completion tag for them all, which was also pretty bogus (if innocuous). While at it, change StartReplication() to use EndReplicationCommand() instead of pg_puttextmessage(). In commit 2f9661311b83, I failed to realize that replication commands are not close-enough kin of regular SQL commands, so the DROP_REPLICATION_SLOT tag I added is undeserved and a type pun. Take it out. Backpatch to 13, where the latter commit appeared. The duplicate tag has been sent since 9.3, but since nothing is broken, it doesn't seem worth fixing. Per complaints from Tom Lane.

* Avoid unnecessary recursion to child tables in ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL.Tom Lane2020-09-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a partitioned table's column is already marked NOT NULL, there is no need to examine its partitions, because we can rely on previous DDL to have enforced that the child columns are NOT NULL as well. (Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for traditional inheritance, so for now we have to restrict the optimization to partitioned tables.) Hence, we may skip recursing to child tables in this situation. The reason this case is worth worrying about is that when pg_dump dumps a partitioned table having a primary key, it will include the requisite NOT NULL markings in the CREATE TABLE commands, and then add the primary key as a separate step. The primary key addition generates a SET NOT NULL as a subcommand, just to be sure. So the situation where a SET NOT NULL is redundant does arise in the real world. Skipping the recursion does more than just save a few cycles: it means that a command such as "ALTER TABLE ONLY partition_parent ADD PRIMARY KEY" will take locks only on the partition parent table, not on the partitions. It turns out that parallel pg_restore is effectively assuming that that's true, and has little choice but to do so because the dependencies listed for such a TOC entry don't include the partitions. pg_restore could thus issue this ALTER while data restores on the partitions are still in progress. Taking unnecessary locks on the partitions not only hurts concurrency, but can lead to actual deadlock failures, as reported by Domagoj Smoljanovic. (A contributing factor in the deadlock is that TRUNCATE on a child partition wants a non-exclusive lock on the parent. This seems likewise unnecessary, but the fix for it is more invasive so we won't consider back-patching it. Fortunately, getting rid of one of these two poor behaviors is enough to remove the deadlock.) Although support for partitioned primary keys came in with v11, this patch is dependent on the SET NOT NULL refactoring done by commit f4a3fdfbd, so we can only patch back to v12. Patch by me; thanks to Alvaro Herrera and Amit Langote for review. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/VI1PR03MB31670CA1BD9625C3A8C5DD05EB230@VI1PR03MB3167.eurprd03.prod.outlook.com
* Fix bogus cache-invalidation logic in logical replication worker.Tom Lane2020-09-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The code recorded cache invalidation events by zeroing the "localreloid" field of affected cache entries. However, it's possible for an inval event to occur even while we have the entry open and locked. So an ill-timed inval could result in "cache lookup failed for relation 0" errors, if the worker's code tried to use the cleared field. We can fix that by creating a separate bool field to record whether the entry needs to be revalidated. (In the back branches, cram the bool into what had been padding space, to avoid an ABI break in the somewhat unlikely event that any extension is looking at this struct.) Also, rearrange the logic in logicalrep_rel_open so that it does the right thing in cases where table_open would fail. We should retry the lookup by name in that case, but we didn't. The real-world impact of this is probably small. In the first place, the error conditions are very low probability, and in the second place, the worker would just exit and get restarted. We only noticed because in a CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS build, the failure can occur repeatedly, preventing the worker from making progress. Nonetheless, it's clearly a bug, and it impedes a useful type of testing; so back-patch to v10 where this code was introduced. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/1032727.1600096803@sss.pgh.pa.us

* Fix use-after-free bug with event triggers in an extension scriptAlvaro Herrera2020-09-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ALTER TABLE commands in an extension script are added to an event trigger command list; but starting with commit b5810de3f4 they do so in a memory context that's too short-lived, so when execution ends and time comes to use the entries, they've already been freed. (This would also be a problem with ALTER TABLE commands in a multi-command query string, but these serendipitously end in PortalContext -- which probably explains why it took so long for this to be reported.)

* Use _exit(2) for SIGQUIT during ProcessStartupPacket, too.Tom Lane2020-09-10

Also relocate where BackendInitialize re-disables these interrupts, to minimize the code span where they're active. This doesn't buy a whole lot of safety, but it can't hurt.

* Avoid lockup of a parallel worker when reporting a long error message.Tom Lane2020-09-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because sigsetjmp() will restore the initial state with signals blocked, the code path in bgworker.c for reporting an error and exiting would execute that way. Usually this is fairly harmless; but if a parallel worker had an error message exceeding the shared-memory communication buffer size (16K) it would lock up, because it would wait for a resume-sending signal from its parallel leader which it would never detect. To fix, just unblock signals at the appropriate point. This can be shown to fail back to 9.6. The lack of parallel query infrastructure makes it difficult to provide a simple test case for 9.5; but I'm pretty sure the issue exists in some form there as well, so apply the code change there too.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Historically there's been a hard-wired assumption here that no line of a .pgpass file could be as long as NAMEDATALEN*5 bytes.

However, it fails completely if someone wants to use a very long password, and we're now hearing reports of people wanting to use "security tokens" that can run up to several hundred bytes. Another angle is that the file is specified to allow comment lines, but there's no reason to assume that long comment lines aren't possible. Rather than guessing at what might be a more suitable limit, let's replace the fixed-size buffer with an expansible PQExpBuffer. That adds one malloc/free cycle to the typical use-case, but that's surely pretty cheap relative to the I/O this code has to do. Also, add TAP test cases to exercise this code, because there was no test coverage before. This reverts most of commit 2eb3bc588, as there's no longer a need for a warning message about overlength .pgpass lines. (I kept the explicit check for comment lines, though.) In HEAD and v13, this also fixes an oversight in 74a308cf5: there's not much point in explicit_bzero'ing the line buffer if we only do so in two of the three exit paths. Back-patch to all supported branches, except that the test case only goes back to v10 where src/test/authentication/ was added. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/4187382.1598909041@sss.pgh.pa.us

* Mark factorial operator, and postfix operators in general, as deprecated.Tom Lane2020-08-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Per discussion, we're planning to remove parser support for postfix operators in order to simplify the grammar. So it behooves us to put out a deprecation notice at least one release before that. There is only one built-in postfix operator, ! for factorial. Label it deprecated in the docs and in pg_description, and adjust some examples that formerly relied on it. (The sister prefix operator !! is also deprecated. We don't really have to remove that one, but since we're suggesting that people use factorial() instead, it seems better to remove both operators.) Also state in the CREATE OPERATOR ref page that postfix operators in general are going away. Although this changes the initial contents of pg_description, I did not force a catversion bump; it doesn't seem essential. In v13, also back-patch 4c5cf5431, so that there's someplace for the <link>s to point to.

* Fix code for re-finding scan position in a multicolumn GIN index.Tom Lane2020-08-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | collectMatchBitmap() needs to re-find the index tuple it was previously looking at, after transiently dropping lock on the index page it's on. The tuple should still exist and be at its prior position or somewhere to the right of that, since ginvacuum never removes tuples but concurrent insertions could add one. However, there was a thinko in that logic, to the effect of expecting any inserted tuples to have the same index "attnum" as what we'd been scanning. Since there's no physical separation of tuples with different attnums, it's not terribly hard to devise scenarios where this fails, leading to transient "lost saved point in index" errors. (While I've duplicated this with manual testing, it seems impossible to make a reproducible test case with our available testing technology.) Fix by just continuing the scan when the attnum doesn't match. While here, improve the error message used if we do fail, so that it matches the wording used in btree for a similar case. collectMatchBitmap()'s posting-tree code path was previously not exercised at all by our regression tests. While I can't make a regression test that exhibits the bug, I can at least improve the code coverage here, so do that. The test case I made for this is an extension of one added by 4b754d6c1, so it only works in HEAD and v13; didn't seem worth trying hard to back-patch it. Per bug #16595 from Jesse Kinkead. This has been broken since multicolumn capability was added to GIN (commit 27cb66fdf), so back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/16595-633118be8eef9ce2@postgresql.org
* Improve the vacuum error context phase information.Amit Kapila2020-08-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We were displaying the wrong phase information for 'info' message in the index clean up phase because we were switching to the previous phase a bit early. We were also not displaying context information for heap phase unless the block number is valid which is fine for error cases but for messages at 'info' or lower error level it appears to be inconsistent with index phase information.

* Avoid pushing quals down into sub-queries that have grouping sets.Tom Lane2020-08-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The trouble with doing this is that an apparently-constant subquery output column isn't really constant if it is a grouping column that appears in only some of the grouping sets. A qual using such a column would be subject to incorrect const-folding after push-down, as seen in bug #16585 from Paul Sivash. To fix, just disable qual pushdown altogether if the sub-query has nonempty groupingSets. While we could imagine far less restrictive solutions, there is not much point in working harder right now, because subquery_planner() won't move HAVING clauses to WHERE within such a subquery. If the qual stays in HAVING it's not going to be a lot more useful than if we'd kept it at the outer level. Having said that, this restriction could be removed if we used a parsetree representation that distinguished such outputs from actual constants, which is something I hope to do in future. Hence, make the patch a minimal addition rather than integrating it more tightly (e.g. by renumbering the existing items in subquery_is_pushdown_safe's comment). Back-patch to 9.5 where grouping sets were introduced. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/16585-9d8c340d23ade8c1@postgresql.org
* Fix ALTER TABLE's scheduling rules for AT_AddConstraint subcommands.Tom Lane2020-08-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 1281a5c90 rearranged the logic in this area rather drastically, and it broke the case of adding a foreign key constraint in the same ALTER that adds the pkey or unique constraint it depends on. While self-referential fkeys are surely a pretty niche case, this used to work so we shouldn't break it. To fix, reorganize the scheduling rules in ATParseTransformCmd so that a transformed AT_AddConstraint subcommand will be delayed into a later pass in all cases, not only when it's been spit out as a side-effect of parsing some other command type. Also tweak the logic so that we won't run ATParseTransformCmd twice while doing this. It seems to work even without that, but it's surely wasting cycles to do so. Per bug #16589 from Jeremy Evans. Back-patch to v13 where the new code was introduced. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/16589-31c8d981ca503896@postgresql.org
* Fix handling of CREATE TABLE LIKE with inheritance.Tom Lane2020-08-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a CREATE TABLE command uses both LIKE and traditional inheritance, Vars in CHECK constraints and expression indexes that are absorbed from a LIKE parent table tended to get mis-numbered, resulting in wrong answers and/or bizarre error messages (though probably not any actual crashes, thanks to validation occurring in the executor). In v12 and up, the same could happen to Vars in GENERATED expressions, even in cases with no LIKE clause but multiple traditional-inheritance parents. The cause of the problem for LIKE is that parse_utilcmd.c supposed it could renumber such Vars correctly during transformCreateStmt(), which it cannot since we have not yet accounted for columns added via inheritance. Fix that by postponing processing of LIKE INCLUDING CONSTRAINTS, DEFAULTS, GENERATED, INDEXES till after we've performed DefineRelation(). The error with GENERATED and multiple inheritance is a simple oversight in MergeAttributes(); it knows it has to renumber Vars in inherited CHECK constraints, but forgot to apply the same processing to inherited GENERATED expressions (a/k/a defaults). Per bug #16272 from Tom Gottfried. The non-GENERATED variants of the issue are ancient, presumably dating right back to the addition of CREATE TABLE LIKE; hence back-patch to all supported branches.

* Fix explain regression test failure.Fujii Masao2020-08-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 9d701e624f caused the regression test for EXPLAIN to fail on the buildfarm member prion. This happened because of instability of test output, i.e., in text format, whether "Planning:" line is output varies depending on the system state. This commit updated the regression test so that it ignores that "Planning:" line to produce more stable test output and get rid of the test failure. Back-patch to v13.
