* Fix CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY for simultaneous prepared transactions.Noah Misch2021-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In a cluster having used CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY while having enabled prepared transactions, queries that use the resulting index can silently fail to find rows. Fix this for future CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY by making it wait for prepared transactions like it waits for ordinary transactions. This expands the VirtualTransactionId structure domain to admit prepared transactions. It may be necessary to reindex to recover from past occurrences. Back-patch to 9.5 (all supported versions). Andrey Borodin, reviewed (in earlier versions) by Tom Lane and Michael Paquier. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/2E712143-97F7-4890-B470-4A35142ABC82@yandex-team.ru
* Silence another gcc 11 warning.Tom Lane2021-01-28
| | | | | | | | Per buildfarm and local experimentation, bleeding-edge gcc isn't convinced that the MemSet in reorder_function_arguments() is safe. Shut it up by adding an explicit check that pronargs isn't negative, and by changing MemSet to memset. (It appears that either change is enough to quiet the warning at -O2, but let's do both to be sure.)
* Fix hash partition pruning with asymmetric partition sets.Tom Lane2021-01-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | perform_pruning_combine_step() was not taught about the number of partition indexes used in hash partitioning; more embarrassingly, get_matching_hash_bounds() also had it wrong. These errors are masked in the common case where all the partitions have the same modulus and no partition is missing. However, with missing or unequal-size partitions, we could erroneously prune some partitions that need to be scanned, leading to silently wrong query answers. While a minimal-footprint fix for this could be to export get_partition_bound_num_indexes and make the incorrect functions use it, I'm of the opinion that that function should never have existed in the first place. It's not reasonable data structure design that PartitionBoundInfoData lacks any explicit record of the length of its indexes[] array. Perhaps that was all right when it could always be assumed equal to ndatums, but something should have been done about it as soon as that stopped being true. Putting in an explicit "nindexes" field makes both partition_bounds_equal() and partition_bounds_copy() simpler, safer, and faster than before, and removes explicit knowledge of the number-of-partition-indexes rules from some other places too. This change also makes get_hash_partition_greatest_modulus obsolete. I left that in place in case any external code uses it, but no core code does anymore. Per bug #16840 from Michał Albrycht. Back-patch to v11 where the hash partitioning code came in. (In the back branches, add the new field at the end of PartitionBoundInfoData to minimize ABI risks.)

* Don't add bailout adjustment for non-strict deserialize calls.Andrew Gierth2021-01-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When building aggregate expression steps, strict checks need a bailout jump for when a null value is encountered, so there is a list of steps that require later adjustment. Adding entries to that list for steps that aren't actually strict would be harmless, except that there is an Assert which catches them. This leads to spurious errors on asserts builds, for data sets that trigger parallel aggregation of an aggregate with a non-strict deserialization function (no such aggregates exist in the core system). Repair by not adding the adjustment entry when it's not needed. Backpatch back to 11 where the code was introduced.

* Code review for psql's helpSQL() function.Tom Lane2021-01-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The loops to identify word boundaries could access past the end of the input string. Likely that would never result in an actual crash, but it makes valgrind unhappy. The logic to try different numbers of words didn't work when the input has two words but we only have a match to the first, eg "\h with select". (We must "continue" the pass loop, not "break".) The logic to compute nl_count was bizarrely managed, and in at least two code paths could end up calling PageOutput with nl_count = 0, resulting in failing to paginate output that should have been fed to the pager. Also, in v12 and up, the nl_count calculation hadn't been updated to account for the addition of a URL. The PQExpBuffer holding the command syntax details wasn't freed, resulting in a session-lifespan memory leak. While here, improve some comments, choose a more descriptive name for a variable, fix inconsistent datatype choice for another variable. Per bug #16837 from Alexander Lakhin.

* Fix hypothetical bug in heap backward scansDavid Rowley2021-01-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Both heapgettup() and heapgettup_pagemode() incorrectly set the first page to scan in a backward scan in which the number of pages to scan was specified by heap_setscanlimits(). The code incorrectly started the scan at the end of the relation when startBlk was 0, or otherwise at startBlk - 1, neither of which is correct when only scanning a subset of pages. The fix here checks if heap_setscanlimits() has changed the number of pages to scan and if so we set the first page to scan as the final page in the specified range during backward scans. Proper adjustment of this code was forgotten when heap_setscanlimits() was added in 7516f5259 back in 9.5. However, practice, nowhere in core code performs backward scans after having used heap_setscanlimits(), yet, it is possible an extension uses the heap functions in this way, hence backpatch. An upcoming patch does use heap_setscanlimits() with backward scans, so this must be fixed before that can go in.

* Further tweaking of PG_SYSROOT heuristics for macOS.Tom Lane2021-01-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It emerges that in some phases of the moon (perhaps to do with directory entry order?), xcrun will report that the SDK path is /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk which is normally a symlink to a version-numbered sibling directory. Our heuristic to skip non-version-numbered pathnames was rejecting that, which is the wrong thing to do. We'd still like to end up with a version-numbered PG_SYSROOT value, but we can have that by dereferencing the symlink. Like the previous fix, back-patch to all supported versions.

* Remove faulty support for MergeAppend plan with WHERE CURRENT OF.Tom Lane2021-01-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Somebody extended search_plan_tree() to treat MergeAppend exactly like Append, which is 100% wrong, because unlike Append we can't assume that only one input node is actively returning tuples. Hence a cursor using a MergeAppend across a UNION ALL or inheritance tree could falsely match a WHERE CURRENT OF query at a row that isn't actually the cursor's current output row, but coincidentally has the same TID (in a different table) as the current output row. Delete the faulty code; this means that such a case will now return an error like 'cursor "foo" is not a simply updatable scan of table "bar"', instead of silently misbehaving. Users should not find that surprising though, as the same cursor query could have failed that way already depending on the chosen plan. (It would fail like that if the sort were done with an explicit Sort node instead of MergeAppend.) Expand the clearly-inadequate commentary to be more explicit about what this code is doing, in hopes of forestalling future mistakes.

* Avoid crash with WHERE CURRENT OF and a custom scan plan.Tom Lane2021-01-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | execCurrent.c's search_plan_tree() assumed that ForeignScanStates and CustomScanStates necessarily have a valid ss_currentRelation. This is demonstrably untrue for postgres_fdw's remote join and remote aggregation plans, and non-leaf custom scans might not have an identifiable scan relation either. Avoid crashing by ignoring such nodes when the field is null. This solution will lead to errors like 'cursor "foo" is not a simply updatable scan of table "bar"' in cases where maybe we could have allowed WHERE CURRENT OF to work. That's not an issue for postgres_fdw's usages, since joins or aggregations would render WHERE CURRENT OF invalid anyway. But an otherwise-transparent upper level custom scan node might find this annoying. When and if someone cares to expend work on such a scenario, we could invent a custom-scan-provider callback to determine what's safe. Report and patch by David Geier, commentary by me. It's been like this for awhile, so back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/0253344d-9bdd-11c4-7f0d-d88c02cd7991@swarm64.com
* Fix pg_dump for GRANT OPTION among initial privileges.Noah Misch2021-01-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The context is an object that no longer bears some aclitem that it bore initially. (A user issued REVOKE or GRANT statements upon the object.) pg_dump is forming SQL to reproduce the object ACL. Since initdb creates no ACL bearing GRANT OPTION, reaching this bug requires an extension where the creation script establishes such an ACL. No PGXN extension does that. If an installation did reach the bug, pg_dump would have omitted a semicolon, causing a REVOKE and the next SQL statement to fail. Separately, since the affected code exists to eliminate an entire aclitem, it wants plain REVOKE, not REVOKE GRANT OPTION FOR. Back-patch to 9.6, where commit 23f34fa4ba358671adab16773e79c17c92cbc870 first appeared. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20210109102423.GA160022@rfd.leadboat.com
* Prevent excess SimpleLruTruncate() deletion.Noah Misch2021-01-16

Account for this in the PagePrecedes callback specification and in SimpleLruTruncate()'s use of said callback. Update each callback implementation to fit the new specification. This changes SerialPagePrecedesLogically() from the style of asyncQueuePagePrecedes() to the style of CLOGPagePrecedes(). (Whereas pg_clog and pg_serial share a key space, pg_serial is nothing like pg_notify.) The bug fixed here has the same symptoms and user followup steps as 592a589a04bd456410b853d86bd05faa9432cbbb.

* Improve our heuristic for selecting PG_SYSROOT on macOS.Tom Lane2021-01-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In cases where Xcode is newer than the underlying macOS version, asking xcodebuild for the SDK path will produce a pointer to the SDK shipped with Xcode, which may end up building code that does not work on the underlying macOS version. It appears that in such cases, xcodebuild's answer also fails to match the default behavior of Apple's compiler: assuming one has installed Xcode's "command line tools", there will be an SDK for the OS's own version in /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools, and the compiler will default to using that. This is all pretty poorly documented, but experimentation suggests that "xcrun --show-sdk-path" gives the sysroot path that the compiler is actually using, at least in some cases. Hence, try that first, but revert to xcodebuild if xcrun fails (in very old Xcode, it is missing or lacks the --show-sdk-path switch). Also, "xcrun --show-sdk-path" may give a path that is valid but lacks any OS version identifier. We don't really want that, since most of the motivation for wiring -isysroot into the build flags at all is to ensure that all parts of a PG installation are built against the same SDK, even when considering extensions built later and/or on a different machine. Insist on finding "N.N" in the directory name before accepting the result. (Adding "--sdk macosx" to the xcrun call seems to produce the same answer as xcodebuild, but usually more quickly because it's cached, so we also try that as a fallback.) The core reason why we don't want to use Xcode's default SDK in cases like this is that Apple's technology for introducing new syscalls does not play nice with Autoconf: for example, configure will think that preadv/pwritev exist when using a Big Sur SDK, even when building on an older macOS version where they don't exist. It'd be nice to have a better solution to that problem, but this patch doesn't attempt to fix that. Per report from Sergey Shinderuk. Back-patch to all supported versions.

* pg_dump: label PUBLICATION TABLE ArchiveEntries with an owner.Tom Lane2021-01-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the same fix as commit 9eabfe300 applied to INDEX ATTACH entries, but for table-to-publication attachments. As in that case, even though the backend doesn't record "ownership" of the attachment, we still ought to label it in the dump archive with the role name that should run the ALTER PUBLICATION command. The existing behavior causes the ALTER to be done by the original role that started the restore; that will usually work fine, but there may be corner cases where it fails. The bulk of the patch is concerned with changing struct PublicationRelInfo to include a pointer to the associated PublicationInfo object, so that we can get the owner's name out of that when the time comes. While at it, I rewrote getPublicationTables() to do just one query of pg_publication_rel, not one per table. Back-patch to v10 where this code was introduced.

* Prevent drop of tablespaces used by partitioned relationsAlvaro Herrera2021-01-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a tablespace is used in a partitioned relation (per commits ca4103025dfe in pg12 for tables and 33e6c34c3267 in pg11 for indexes), it is possible to drop the tablespace, potentially causing various problems. One such was reported in bug #16577, where a rewriting ALTER TABLE causes a server crash. Protect against this by using pg_shdepend to keep track of tablespaces when used for relations that don't keep physical files; we now abort a tablespace if we see that the tablespace is referenced from any partitioned relations. Backpatch this to 11, where this problem has been latent all along. We don't try to create pg_shdepend entries for existing partitioned indexes/tables, but any ones that are modified going forward will be protected. Note slight behavior change: when trying to drop a tablespace that contains both regular tables as well as partitioned ones, you'd previously get ERRCODE_OBJECT_NOT_IN_PREREQUISITE_STATE and now you'll get ERRCODE_DEPENDENT_OBJECTS_STILL_EXIST. Arguably, the latter is more correct. It is possible to add protecting pg_shdepend entries for existing tables/indexes, by doing ALTER TABLE ONLY some_partitioned_table SET TABLESPACE pg_default; ALTER TABLE ONLY some_partitioned_table SET TABLESPACE original_tablespace; for each partitioned table/index that is not in the database default tablespace. Because these partitioned objects do not have storage, no file needs to be actually moved, so it shouldn't take more time than what's required to acquire locks. This query can be used to search for such relations: SELECT ...

* Fix ancient bug in parsing of BRE-mode regular expressions.Tom Lane2021-01-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | brenext(), when parsing a '*' quantifier, forgot to return any "value" for the token; per the equivalent case in next(), it should return value 1 to indicate that greedy rather than non-greedy behavior is wanted.

That seems to happen with some reliability if we have '.*' at the beginning of a BRE-mode regexp, although that depends on the initial contents of a stack-allocated struct, so it's not guaranteed to fail.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We found last February that the error-case tests added by commit 008cf0409 failed on OpenBSD, because that platform doesn't really check locale names. At the time it seemed that that was only an issue for LC_CTYPE, but testing on a more recent version of OpenBSD shows that it's now equally lax about LC_COLLATE. Rather than dropping the LC_COLLATE test too, put back LC_CTYPE (reverting c4b0edb07), and adjust these tests to accept the different error message that we get if setlocale() doesn't reject a bogus locale name. The point of these tests is not really what the backend does with the locale name, but to show that createdb quotes funny locale names safely; so we're not losing test reliability this way.

* Detect the deadlocks between backends and the startup process.Fujii Masao2021-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The deadlocks that the recovery conflict on lock is involved in can happen between hot-standby backends and the startup process. If a backend takes an access exclusive lock on the table and which finally triggers the deadlock, that deadlock can be detected as expected. On the other hand, previously, if the startup process took an access exclusive lock and which finally triggered the deadlock, that deadlock could not be detected and could remain even after deadlock_timeout passed. This is a bug. The cause of this bug was that the code for handling the recovery conflict on lock didn't take care of deadlock case at all. It assumed that deadlocks involving the startup process and backends were able to be detected by the deadlock detector invoked within backends. But this assumption was incorrect. The startup process also should have invoked the deadlock detector if necessary. To fix this bug, this commit makes the startup process invoke the deadlock detector if deadlock_timeout is reached while handling the recovery conflict on lock. Specifically, in that case, the startup process requests all the backends holding the conflicting locks to check themselves for deadlocks. Back-patch to v9.6. v9.5 has also this bug, but per discussion we decided not to back-patch the fix to v9.5. Because v9.5 doesn't have some infrastructure codes (e.g., 37c54863cf) that this bug fix patch depends on. We can apply those codes for the back-patch, but since the next minor version release is the final one for v9.5, it's risky to do that. If we unexpectedly introduce new bug to v9.5 by the back-patch, there is no chance to fix that. We determined that the back-patch to v9.5 would give more risk than gain.

| | | | | | | | | | | | In power_var_int(), the computation of the number of significant digits to use in the computation used log(Abs(exp)), which isn't safe because Abs(exp) returns INT_MIN when exp is INT_MIN. Use fabs() instead of Abs(), so that the exponent is cast to a double before the absolute value is taken. Back-patch to 9.6, where this was introduced (by 7d9a4737c2).

* Fix integer-overflow corner cases in substring() functions.Tom Lane2021-01-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the substring start index and length overflow when added together, substring() misbehaved, either throwing a bogus "negative substring length" error on a case that should succeed, or failing to complain that a negative length is negative (and instead returning the whole string, in most cases). Unsurprisingly, the text, bytea, and bit variants of the function all had this issue. Rearrange the logic to ensure that negative lengths are always rejected, and add an overflow check to handle the other case. Also install similar guards into detoast_attr_slice() (nee heap_tuple_untoast_attr_slice()), since it's far from clear that no other code paths leading to that function could pass it values that would overflow. Patch by myself and Pavel Stehule, per bug #16804 from Rafi Shamim. Back-patch to v11. While these bugs are old, the common/int.h infrastructure for overflow-detecting arithmetic didn't exist before commit 4d6ad3125, and it doesn't seem like these misbehaviors are bad enough to justify developing a standalone fix for the older branches.

* Further fix thinko in plpgsql memory leak fix.Tom Lane2020-12-28
| | | | | | | | | | There's a second call of get_eval_mcontext() that should also be get_stmt_mcontext(). This is actually dead code, since no interesting allocations happen before switching back to the original context, but we should keep it in sync with the other call to forestall possible future bugs.

* Fix thinko in plpgsql memory leak fix.Tom Lane2020-12-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit a6b1f5365 intended to place the transient "target" list of a CALL statement in the function's statement-lifespan context, but I fat-fingered that and used get_eval_mcontext() instead of get_stmt_mcontext(). The eval_mcontext belongs to the "simple expression" infrastructure, which is destroyed at transaction end. The net effect is that a CALL in a procedure to another procedure that has OUT or INOUT parameters would fail if the called procedure did a COMMIT. Per report from Peter Eisentraut. Back-patch to v11, like the prior patch. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/f075f7be-c654-9aa8-3ffc-e9214622f02a@enterprisedb.com

* Fix race condition between shutdown and unstarted background workers.Tom Lane2020-12-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a database shutdown (smart or fast) is commanded between the time some process decides to request a new background worker and the time that the postmaster can launch that worker, then nothing happens because the postmaster won't launch any bgworkers once it's exited PM_RUN state. This is fine ... unless the requesting process is waiting for that worker to finish (or even for it to start); in that case the requestor is stuck, and only manual intervention will get us to the point of being able to shut down. To fix, cancel pending requests for workers when the postmaster sends shutdown (SIGTERM) signals, and similarly cancel any new requests that arrive after that point. (We can optimize things slightly by only doing the cancellation for workers that have waiters.) To fit within the existing bgworker APIs, the "cancel" is made to look like the worker was started and immediately stopped, causing deregistration of the bgworker entry. Waiting processes would have to deal with premature worker exit anyway, so this should introduce no bugs that weren't there before. We do have a side effect that registration records for restartable bgworkers might disappear when theoretically they should have remained in place; but since we're shutting down, that shouldn't matter. Back-patch to v10. There might be value in putting this into 9.6 as well, but the management of bgworkers is a bit different there (notably see 8ff518699) and I'm not convinced it's worth the effort to validate the patch for that branch.

* Fix portability issues with parsing of recovery_target_xidMichael Paquier2020-12-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The parsing of this parameter has been using strtoul(), which is not portable across platforms. On most Unix platforms, unsigned long has a size of 64 bits, while on Windows it is 32 bits. It is common in recovery scenarios to rely on the output of txid_current() or even the newer pg_current_xact_id() to get a transaction ID for setting up recovery_target_xid. The value returned by those functions includes the epoch in the computed result, which would cause strtoul() to fail where unsigned long has a size of 32 bits once the epoch is incremented. WAL records and 2PC data include only information about 32-bit XIDs and it is not possible to have XIDs across more than one epoch, so discarding the high bits from the transaction ID set has no impact on recovery. On the contrary, the use of strtoul() prevents a consistent behavior across platforms depending on the size of unsigned long. This commit changes the parsing of recovery_target_xid to use pg_strtouint64() instead, available down to 9.6. There is one TAP test stressing recovery with recovery_target_xid, where a tweak based on pg_reset{xlog,wal} is added to bump the XID epoch so as this change gets tested, as per an idea from Alexander Lakhin.

* Remove "invalid concatenation of jsonb objects" error case.Tom Lane2020-12-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The jsonb || jsonb operator arbitrarily rejected certain combinations of scalar and non-scalar inputs, while being willing to concatenate other combinations. This was of course quite undocumented. Rather than trying to document it, let's just remove the restriction, creating a uniform rule that unless we are handling an object-to-object concatenation, non-array inputs are converted to one-element arrays, resulting in an array-to-array concatenation. (This does not change the behavior for any case that didn't throw an error before.) Per complaint from Joel Jacobson. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* Avoid memcpy() with same source and destination during relmapper init.Tom Lane2020-12-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A narrow reading of the C standard says that memcpy(x,x,n) is undefined, although it's hard to envision an implementation that would really misbehave. However, analysis tools such as valgrind might whine about this; accordingly, let's band-aid relmapper.c to not do it. See also 5b630501e, d3f4e8a8a, ad7b48ea0, and other similar fixes. Apparently, none of those folk tried valgrinding initdb? This has been like this for long enough that I'm surprised it hasn't been reported before. Back-patch, just in case anybody wants to use a back branch on a platform that complains about this; we back-patched those earlier fixes too.

* Teach contain_leaked_vars that assignment SubscriptingRefs are leaky.Tom Lane2020-12-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | array_get_element and array_get_slice qualify as leakproof, since they will silently return NULL for bogus subscripts. But array_set_element and array_set_slice throw errors for such cases, making them clearly not leakproof. contain_leaked_vars was evidently written with only the former case in mind, as it gave the wrong answer for assignment SubscriptingRefs (nee ArrayRefs). This would be a live security bug, were it not that assignment SubscriptingRefs can only occur in INSERT and UPDATE target lists, while we only care about leakproofness for qual expressions; so the wrong answer can't occur in practice. Still, that's a rather shaky answer for a security-related question; and maybe in future somebody will want to ask about leakproofness of a tlist. So it seems wise to fix and even back-patch this correction. (We would need some change here anyway for the upcoming generic-subscripting patch, since extensions might make different tradeoffs about whether to throw errors. Commit 558d77f20 attempted to lay groundwork for that by asking check_functions_in_node whether a SubscriptingRef contains leaky functions; but that idea fails now that the implementation methods of a SubscriptingRef are not SQL-visible functions that could be marked leakproof or not.) Back-patch to 9.6. While 9.5 has the same issue, the code's a bit different. It seems quite unlikely that we'd introduce any actual bug in the short time 9.5 has left to live, so the work/risk/reward balance isn't attractive for changing 9.5.

* jit: Correct parameter type for generated expression evaluation functions.Andres Freund2020-12-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | clang only uses the 'i1' type for scalar booleans, not for pointers to booleans (as the pointer might be pointing into a larger memory allocation). Therefore a pointer-to-bool needs to the "storage" boolean. There's no known case of wrong code generation due to this, but it seems quite possible that it could cause problems (see e.g. 72559438f92).
