* Backpatch introduction of TupleDescAttr(tupdesc, i).Andres Freund2017-08-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | 2cd70845240 / c6293249d change the way individual attributes in a TupleDesc are stored / accessed. To reduce the effort of making extensions compatible with postgresql 11, and to ease future backpatching, backpatch introduction of TupleDescAttr() to all releases. Do not backpatch change in storage, as that'd be a breaking change for existing and working extensions.

* Fix possible core dump in parallel restore when using a TOC list.Tom Lane2017-08-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 3eb9a5e7c unintentionally introduced an ordering dependency into restore_toc_entries_prefork(). The existing coding of reduce_dependencies() contains a check to skip moving a TOC entry to the ready_list if it wasn't initially in the pending_list. This used to suffice to prevent reduce_dependencies() from trying to move anything into the ready_list during restore_toc_entries_prefork(), because the pending_list stayed empty throughout that phase; but it no longer does. The problem doesn't manifest unless the TOC has been reordered by SortTocFromFile, which is how I missed it in testing. To fix, just add a test for ready_list == NULL, converting the call with NULL from a poor man's sanity check into an explicit command not to touch TOC items' list membership. Clarify some of the comments around this; in particular, note the primary purpose of the check for pending_list membership, which is to ensure that we can't try to restore the same item twice, in case a TOC list forces it to be restored before its dependency count goes to zero. Per report from Fabrízio de Royes Mello. Back-patch to 9.3, like the previous commit. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAFcNs+pjuv0JL_x4+=71TPUPjdLHOXA4YfT32myj_OrrZb4ohA@mail.gmail.com
* Further tweaks to compiler flags for PL/Perl on Windows.Tom Lane2017-08-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It now emerges that we can only rely on Perl to tell us we must use -D_USE_32BIT_TIME_T if it's Perl 5.13.4 or later. For older versions, revert to our previous practice of assuming we need that symbol in all 32-bit Windows builds. This is not ideal, but inquiring into which compiler version Perl was built with seems far too fragile. In any case, we had not previously had complaints about these old Perl versions, so let's assume this is Good Enough. (It's still better than the situation ante commit 5a5c2feca, in that at least the effects are confined to PL/Perl rather than the whole PG build.) Back-patch to all supported versions, like 5a5c2feca and predecessors. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CANFyU97OVQ3+Mzfmt3MhuUm5NwPU=-FtbNH5Eb7nZL9ua8=rcA@mail.gmail.com

* Handle elog(FATAL) during ROLLBACK more robustly.Tom Lane2017-08-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Stress testing by Andreas Seltenreich disclosed longstanding problems that occur if a FATAL exit (e.g. due to receipt of SIGTERM) occurs while we are trying to execute a ROLLBACK of an already-failed transaction. In such a case, xact.c is in TBLOCK_ABORT state, so that AbortOutOfAnyTransaction would skip AbortTransaction and go straight to CleanupTransaction. This led to an assert failure in an assert-enabled build (due to the ROLLBACK's portal still having a cleanup hook) or without assertions, to a FATAL exit complaining about "cannot drop active portal". The latter's not disastrous, perhaps, but it's messy enough to want to improve it. We don't really want to run all of AbortTransaction in this code path. The minimum required to clean up the open portal safely is to do AtAbort_Memory and AtAbort_Portals. It seems like a good idea to do AtAbort_Memory unconditionally, to be entirely sure that we are starting with a safe CurrentMemoryContext. That means that if the main loop in AbortOutOfAnyTransaction does nothing, we need an extra step at the bottom to restore CurrentMemoryContext = TopMemoryContext, which I chose to do by invoking AtCleanup_Memory. This'll result in calling AtCleanup_Memory twice in many of the paths through this function, but that seems harmless and reasonably inexpensive. The original motivation for the assertion in AtCleanup_Portals was that we wanted to be sure that any user-defined code executed as a consequence of the cleanup hook runs during AbortTransaction not CleanupTransaction. That still seems like a valid concern, and now that we've seen one case of the assertion firing --- which means that exactly that would have happened in a production build --- let's replace the Assert with a runtime check. If we see the cleanup hook still set, we'll emit a WARNING and just drop the hook unexecuted. This has been like this a long time, so back-patch to all supported branches.

* Absorb -D_USE_32BIT_TIME_T switch from Perl, if relevant.Tom Lane2017-08-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 3c163a7fc's original choice to ignore all #define symbols whose names begin with underscore turns out to be too simplistic. On Windows, some Perl installations are built with -D_USE_32BIT_TIME_T, and we must absorb that or we get the wrong result for sizeof(PerlInterpreter). This effectively re-reverts commit ef58b87df, which injected that symbol in a hacky way, making it apply to all of Postgres not just PL/Perl. More significantly, it did so on *all* 32-bit Windows builds, even when the Perl build to be used did not select this option; so that it fails to work properly with some newer Perl builds. By making this change, we would be introducing an ABI break in 32-bit Windows builds; but fortunately we have not used type time_t in any exported Postgres APIs in a long time. So it should be OK, both for PL/Perl itself and for third-party extensions, if an extension library is built with a different _USE_32BIT_TIME_T setting than the core code. Patch by me, based on research by Ashutosh Sharma and Robert Haas. Back-patch to all supported branches, as commit 3c163a7fc was.

* Remove AtEOXact_CatCache().Tom Lane2017-08-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The sole useful effect of this function, to check that no catcache entries have positive refcounts at transaction end, has really been obsolete since we introduced ResourceOwners in PG 8.1. We reduced the checks to assertions years ago, so that the function was a complete no-op in production builds. There have been previous discussions about removing it entirely, but consensus up to now was that it had some small value as a cross-check for bugs in the ResourceOwner logic. However, it now emerges that it's possible to trigger these assertions if you hit an assert-enabled backend with SIGTERM during a call to SearchCatCacheList, because that function temporarily increases the refcounts of entries it's intending to add to a catcache list construct. In a normal ERROR scenario, the extra refcounts are cleaned up by SearchCatCacheList's PG_CATCH block; but in a FATAL exit we do a transaction abort and exit without ever executing PG_CATCH handlers. There's a case to be made that this is a generic hazard and we should consider restructuring elog(FATAL) handling so that pending PG_CATCH handlers do get run. That's pretty scary though: it could easily create more problems than it solves. Preliminary stress testing by Andreas Seltenreich suggests that there are not many live problems of this ilk, so we rejected that idea. There are more-localized ways to fix the problem; the most principled one would be to use PG_ENSURE_ERROR_CLEANUP instead of plain PG_TRY. But adding cycles to SearchCatCacheList isn't very appealing. We could also weaken the assertions in AtEOXact_CatCache in some more or less ad-hoc way, but that just makes its raison d'etre even less compelling. In the end, the most reasonable solution seems to be to just remove AtEOXact_CatCache altogether, on the grounds that it's not worth trying to fix it. It hasn't found any bugs for us in many years. Per report from Jeevan Chalke. Back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAM2+6=VEE30YtRQCZX7_sCFsEpoUkFBV1gZazL70fqLn8rcvBA@mail.gmail.com
* Fix handling of container types in find_composite_type_dependencies.Tom Lane2017-08-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | find_composite_type_dependencies correctly found columns that are of the specified type, and columns that are of arrays of that type, but not columns that are domains or ranges over the given type, its array type, etc. The most general way to handle this seems to be to assume that any type that is directly dependent on the specified type can be treated as a container type, and processed recursively (allowing us to handle nested cases such as ranges over domains over arrays ...). Since a type's array type already has such a dependency, we can drop the existing special case for the array type. The very similar logic in get_rels_with_domain was likewise a few bricks shy of a load, as it supposed that a directly dependent type could *only* be a sub-domain. This is already wrong for ranges over domains, and it'll someday be wrong for arrays over domains. Add test cases illustrating the problems, and back-patch to all supported branches.

* Fix datumSerialize infrastructure to not crash on non-varlena data.Tom Lane2017-08-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 1efc7e538 did a poor job of emulating existing logic for touching Datums that might be expanded-object pointers. It didn't check for typlen being -1 first, which meant it could crash on fixed-length pass-by-ref values, and probably on cstring values as well. It also didn't use DatumGetPointer before VARATT_IS_EXTERNAL_EXPANDED, which while currently harmless is not according to documentation nor prevailing style. I also think the lack of any explanation as to why datumSerialize makes these particular nonobvious choices is pretty awful, so fix that. Per report from Jarred Ward.

* Don't allow logging in with empty password.Heikki Linnakangas2017-08-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some authentication methods allowed it, others did not. In the client-side, libpq does not even try to authenticate with an empty password, which makes using empty passwords hazardous: an administrator might think that an account with an empty password cannot be used to log in, because psql doesn't allow it, and not realize that a different client would in fact allow it. To clear that confusion and to be be consistent, disallow empty passwords in all authentication methods. All the authentication methods that used plaintext authentication over the wire, except for BSD authentication, already checked that the password received from the user was not empty. To avoid forgetting it in the future again, move the check to the recv_password_packet function. That only forbids using an empty password with plaintext authentication, however. MD5 and SCRAM need a different fix: * In stable branches, check that the MD5 hash stored for the user does not not correspond to an empty string. This adds some overhead to MD5 authentication, because the server needs to compute an extra MD5 hash, but it is not noticeable in practice. * In HEAD, modify CREATE and ALTER ROLE to clear the password if an empty string, or a password hash that corresponds to an empty string, is specified. The user-visible behavior is the same as in the stable branches, the user cannot log in, but it seems better to stop the empty password from entering the system in the first place. Secondly, it is fairly expensive to check that a SCRAM hash doesn't correspond to an empty string, because computing a SCRAM hash is much more expensive than an MD5 hash by design, so better avoid doing that on every authentication. We could clear the password on CREATE/ALTER ROLE also in stable branches, but we would still need to check at authentication time, because even if we prevent empty passwords from being stored in pg_authid, there might be existing ones there already.

* Fix thinko introduced in 2bef06d516460 et al.Andres Freund2017-08-06

* Disallow SSL session tickets.Tom Lane2017-08-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We don't actually support session tickets, since we do not create an SSL session identifier. But it seems that OpenSSL will issue a session ticket on-demand anyway, which will then fail when used. This results in reconnection failures when using ticket-aware client-side SSL libraries (such as the Npgsql .NET driver), as reported by Shay Rojansky. To fix, just tell OpenSSL not to issue tickets. At some point in the far future, we might consider enabling tickets instead. But the security implications of that aren't entirely clear; and besides it would have little benefit except for very short-lived database connections, which is Something We're Bad At anyhow. It would take a lot of other work to get to a point where that would really be an exciting thing to do. While at it, also tell OpenSSL not to use a session cache. This doesn't really do anything, since a backend would never populate the cache anyway, but it might gain some micro-efficiencies and/or reduce security exposures. Patch by me, per discussion with Heikki Linnakangas and Shay Rojansky. Back-patch to all supported versions.

* Fix pg_dump/pg_restore to emit REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW commands last.Tom Lane2017-08-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because we push all ACL (i.e. GRANT/REVOKE) restore steps to the end, materialized view refreshes were occurring while the permissions on referenced objects were still at defaults. This led to failures if, say, an MV owned by user A reads from a table owned by user B, even if B had granted the necessary privileges to A. We've had multiple complaints about that type of restore failure, most recently from Jordan Gigov. The ideal fix for this would be to start treating ACLs as dependency- sortable objects, rather than hard-wiring anything about their dump order (the existing approach is a messy kluge dating to commit dc0e76ca3). But that's going to be a rather major change, and it certainly wouldn't lead to a back-patchable fix. As a short-term solution, convert the existing two-pass hack (ie, normal objects then ACLs) to a three-pass hack, ie, normal objects then ACLs then matview refreshes. Because this happens in RestoreArchive(), it will also fix the problem when restoring from an existing archive-format dump. (Note this means that if a matview refresh would have failed under the permissions prevailing at dump time, it'll fail during restore as well. We'll define that as user error rather than something we should try to work around.) To avoid performance loss in parallel restore, we need the matview refreshes to still be parallelizable. Hence, clean things up enough so that both ACLs and matviews are handled by the parallel restore infrastructure, instead of reverting back to serial restore for ACLs. There is still a final serial step, but it shouldn't normally have to do anything; it's only there to try to recover if we get stuck due to some problem like unresolved circular dependencies. Patch by me, but it owes something to an earlier attempt by Kevin Grittner. Back-patch to 9.3 where materialized views were introduced. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/28572.1500912583@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Fix build on zlib-less environmentsAlvaro Herrera2017-08-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 4d57e8381677 added support for getting I/O errors out of zlib, but it introduced a portability problem for systems without zlib. Repair by wrapping the zlib call inside #ifdef and restore the original code in the other branch. This serves to illustrate the inadequacy of the zlib abstraction in pg_backup_archiver: there is no way to call gzerror() in that abstraction. This means that the several places that call GZREAD and GZWRITE are currently doing error reporting wrongly, but ENOTIME to get it fixed before next week's release set. Backpatch to 9.4, like the commit that introduced the problem.
* Allow a foreign table CHECK constraint to be initially NOT VALID.Robert Haas2017-08-03

* Fix pg_dump's errno checking for zlib I/OAlvaro Herrera2017-08-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some error reports were reporting strerror(errno), which for some error conditions coming from zlib are wrong, resulting in confusing reports such as pg_restore: [compress_io] could not read from input file: Success which makes no sense. To correctly extract the error message we need to use gzerror(), so let's do that. This isn't as comprehensive or as neat as I would like, but at least it should improve things in many common cases. The zlib abstraction in compress_io does not seem to be applied consistently enough; we could perhaps improve that, but it seems master-only material, not a bug fix for back-patching. This problem goes back all the way, but I decided to apply back to 9.4 only, because older branches don't contain commit 14ea89366 which this change depends on.

* Remove broken and useless entry-count printing in HASH_DEBUG code.Tom Lane2017-08-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | init_htab(), with #define HASH_DEBUG, prints a bunch of hashtable parameters. It used to also print nentries, but commit 44ca4022f changed that to "hash_get_num_entries(hctl)", which is wrong (the parameter should be "hashp"). Rather than correct the coding, though, let's just remove that field from the printout. The table must be empty, since we just finished building it, so expensively calculating the number of entries is rather pointless.

* Clean up SQL emitted by psql/describe.c.Tom Lane2017-07-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix assorted places that had not bothered with the convention of prefixing catalog and function names with "pg_catalog.". That could possibly result in query failure when running with a nondefault search_path. Also fix two places that weren't quoting OID literals. I think the latter hasn't mattered much since about 7.3, but it's still a bad idea to be doing it in 99 places and not in 2 others. Also remove a useless EXISTS sub-select that someone had stuck into describeOneTableDetails' queries for child tables. We just got the OID out of pg_class, so I hardly see how checking that it exists in pg_class was doing anything helpful. In passing, try to improve the emitted formatting of a couple of these queries, though I didn't work really hard on that. And merge unnecessarily duplicative coding in some other places.

* Fix concurrent locking of tuple update chainAlvaro Herrera2017-07-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If several sessions are concurrently locking a tuple update chain with nonconflicting lock modes using an old snapshot, and they all succeed, it may happen that some of them fail because of restarting the loop (due to a concurrent Xmax change) and getting an error in the subsequent pass while trying to obtain a tuple lock that they already have in some tuple version. This can only happen with very high concurrency (where a row is being both updated and FK-checked by multiple transactions concurrently), but it's been observed in the field and can have unpleasant consequences such as an FK check failing to see a tuple that definitely exists: ERROR: insert or update on table "child_table" violates foreign key constraint "fk_constraint_name" DETAIL: Key (keyid)=(123456) is not present in table "parent_table".

* Fix race condition in predicate-lock init code in EXEC_BACKEND builds.Tom Lane2017-07-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Trading a little too heavily on letting the code path be the same whether we were creating shared data structures or only attaching to them, InitPredicateLocks() inserted the "scratch" PredicateLockTargetHash entry unconditionally. This is just wrong if we're in a postmaster child, which would only reach this code in EXEC_BACKEND builds. Most of the time, the hash_search(HASH_ENTER) call would simply report that the entry already existed, causing no visible effect since the code did not bother to check for that possibility. However, if this happened while some other backend had transiently removed the "scratch" entry, then that other backend's eventual RestoreScratchTarget would suffer an assert failure; this appears to be the explanation for a recent failure on buildfarm member culicidae. In non-assert builds, there would be no visible consequences there either. But nonetheless this is a pretty bad bug for EXEC_BACKEND builds, for two reasons: 1. Each new backend would perform the hash_search(HASH_ENTER) call without holding any lock that would prevent concurrent access to the PredicateLockTargetHash hash table. This creates a low but certainly nonzero risk of corruption of that hash table. 2. In the event that the race condition occurred, by reinserting the scratch entry too soon, we were defeating the entire purpose of the scratch entry, namely to guarantee that transaction commit could move hash table entries around with no risk of out-of-memory failure. The odds of an actual OOM failure are quite low, but not zero, and if it did happen it would again result in corruption of the hash table. The user-visible symptoms of such corruption are a little hard to predict, but would presumably amount to misbehavior of SERIALIZABLE transactions that'd require a crash or postmaster restart to fix. To fix, just skip the hash insertion if IsUnderPostmaster. I also inserted a bunch of assertions that the expected things happen depending on whether IsUnderPostmaster is true. That might be overkill, since most comparable code in other functions isn't quite that paranoid, but once burnt twice shy. In passing, also move a couple of lines to places where they seemed to make more sense. Diagnosis of problem by Thomas Munro, patch by me. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* When WCOs are present, disable direct foreign table modification.Robert Haas2017-07-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the user modifies a view that has CHECK OPTIONs and this gets translated into a modification to an underlying relation which happens to be a foreign table, the check options should be enforced. In the normal code path, that was happening properly, but it was not working properly for "direct" modification because the whole operation gets pushed to the remote side in that case and we never have an option to enforce the constraint against individual tuples. Fix by disabling direct modification when there is a need to enforce CHECK OPTIONs. Etsuro Fujita, reviewed by Kyotaro Horiguchi and by me.

* Ensure that pg_get_ruledef()'s output matches pg_get_viewdef()'s.Tom Lane2017-07-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Various cases involving renaming of view columns are handled by having make_viewdef pass down the view's current relation tupledesc to get_query_def, which then takes care to use the column names from the tupledesc for the output column names of the SELECT. For some reason though, we'd missed teaching make_ruledef to do similarly when it is printing an ON SELECT rule, even though this is exactly the same case. The results from pg_get_ruledef would then be different and arguably wrong. In particular, this breaks pre-v10 versions of pg_dump, which in some situations would define views by means of emitting a CREATE RULE ... ON SELECT command. Third-party tools might not be happy either. In passing, clean up some crufty code in make_viewdef; we'd apparently modernized the equivalent code in make_ruledef somewhere along the way, and missed this copy. Per report from Gilles Darold. Back-patch to all supported versions. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/ec05659a-40ff-4510-fc45-ca9d965d0838@dalibo.com
* MSVC: Accept tcl86.lib in addition to tcl86t.lib.Noah Misch2017-07-23
| | | | | ActiveTcl8.6.4.1.299124-win32-x86_64-threaded.exe ships just tcl86.lib. Back-patch to 9.2, like the commit recognizing tcl86t.lib.
* Fix pg_dump's handling of event triggers.Tom Lane2017-07-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | pg_dump with the --clean option failed to emit DROP EVENT TRIGGER commands for event triggers. In a closely related oversight, it also did not emit ALTER OWNER commands for event triggers. Since only superusers can create event triggers, the latter oversight is of little practical consequence ... but if we're going to record an owner for event triggers, then surely pg_dump should preserve it. Per complaint from Greg Atkins. Back-patch to 9.3 where event triggers were introduced. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20170722191142.yi4e7tzcg3iacclg@gmail.com
* pg_rewind: Fix some problems when copying files >2GB.Robert Haas2017-07-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When incrementally updating a file larger than 2GB, the old code could either fail outright (if the client asked the server for bytes beyond the 2GB boundary) or fail to copy all the blocks that had actually been modified (if the server reported a file size to the client in excess of 2GB), resulting in data corruption. Generally, such files won't occur anyway, but they might if using a non-default segment size or if there the directory contains stray files unrelated to PostgreSQL. Fix by a more prudent choice of data types. Even with these improvements, this code still uses a mix of different types (off_t, size_t, uint64, int64) to represent file sizes and offsets, not all of which necessarily have the same width or signedness, so further cleanup might be in order here. However, at least now they all have the potential to be 64 bits wide on 64-bit platforms. Kuntal Ghosh and Michael Paquier, with a tweak by me.

* Fix double shared memory allocation.Teodor Sigaev2017-07-21
| | | | | | | | | | | SLRU buffer lwlocks are allocated twice by oversight in commit fe702a7b3f9f2bc5bf6d173166d7d55226af82c8 where that locks were moved to separate tranche. The bug doesn't have user-visible effects except small overspending of shared memory. Backpatch to 9.6 where it was introduced. Alexander Korotkov with small editorization by me.
* Fix dumping of outer joins with empty qual lists.Tom Lane2017-07-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Normally, a JoinExpr would have empty "quals" only if it came from CROSS JOIN syntax. However, it's possible to get to this state by specifying NATURAL JOIN between two tables with no common column names, and there might be other ways too. The code previously printed no ON clause if "quals" was empty; that's right for CROSS JOIN but syntactically invalid if it's some type of outer join. Fix by printing ON TRUE in that case. This got broken by commit 2ffa740be, which stopped using NATURAL JOIN syntax in ruleutils output due to its brittleness in the face of column renamings. Back-patch to 9.3 where that commit appeared. Per report from Tushar Ahuja. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/98b283cd-6dda-5d3f-f8ac-87db8c76a3da@enterprisedb.com
* Merge large_object.sql test into largeobject.source.Tom Lane2017-07-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It seems pretty confusing to have tests named both largeobject and large_object. The latter is of very recent vintage (commit ff992c074), so get rid of it in favor of merging into the former. Also, enable the LO comment test that was added by commit 70ad7ed4e, since the later commit added the then-missing pg_upgrade functionality. The large_object.sql test case is almost completely redundant with that, but not quite: it seems like creating a user-defined LO with an OID in the system range might be an interesting case for pg_upgrade, so let's keep it. Like the earlier patch, back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/18665.1500306372@sss.pgh.pa.us
