* Add some more defenses against silly estimates to gincostestimate().Tom Lane2016-01-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A report from Andy Colson showed that gincostestimate() was not being nearly paranoid enough about whether to believe the statistics it finds in the index metapage. The problem is that the metapage stats (other than the pending-pages count) are only updated by VACUUM, and in the worst case could still reflect the index's original empty state even when it has grown to many entries. We attempted to deal with that by scaling up the stats to match the current index size, but if nEntries is zero then scaling it up still gives zero. Moreover, the proportion of pages that are entry pages vs. data pages vs. pending pages is unlikely to be estimated very well by scaling if the index is now orders of magnitude larger than before. We can improve matters by expanding the use of the rule-of-thumb estimates I introduced in commit 7fb008c5ee59b040: if the index has grown by more than a cutoff amount (here set at 4X growth) since VACUUM, then use the rule-of-thumb numbers instead of scaling. This might not be exactly right but it seems much less likely to produce insane estimates. I also improved both the scaling estimate and the rule-of-thumb estimate to account for numPendingPages, since it's reasonable to expect that that is accurate in any case, and certainly pages that are in the pending list are not either entry or data pages. As a somewhat separate issue, adjust the estimation equations that are concerned with extra fetches for partial-match searches. These equations suppose that a fraction partialEntries / numEntries of the entry and data pages will be visited as a consequence of a partial-match search. Now, it's physically impossible for that fraction to exceed one, but our estimate of partialEntries is mostly bunk, and our estimate of numEntries isn't exactly gospel either, so we could arrive at a silly value. In the example presented by Andy we were coming out with a value of 100, leading to insane cost estimates. Clamp the fraction to one to avoid that. Like the previous patch, back-patch to all supported branches; this problem can be demonstrated in one form or another in all of them.
* Split out pg_operator.h function declarations to new file pg_operator_fn.h.Tom Lane2016-01-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | Commit a2e35b53c39b2a27 added an #include of catalog/objectaddress.h to pg_operator.h, making it impossible for client-side code to #include pg_operator.h. It's not entirely clear whether any client-side code needs to include pg_operator.h, but it seems prudent to assume that there is some such code somewhere. Therefore, split off the function definitions into a new file pg_operator_fn.h, similarly to what we've done for some other catalog header files. Back-patch of part of commit 0dab5ef39b3d9d86.
* Put back one copyObject() in rewriteTargetView().Tom Lane2015-12-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 6f8cb1e23485bd6d tried to centralize rewriteTargetView's copying of a target view's Query struct. However, it ignored the fact that the jointree->quals field was used twice. This only accidentally failed to fail immediately because the same ChangeVarNodes mutation is applied in both cases, so that we end up with logically identical expression trees for both uses (and, as the code stands, the second ChangeVarNodes call actually does nothing). However, we end up linking *physically* identical expression trees into both an RTE's securityQuals list and the WithCheckOption list. That's pretty dangerous, mainly because prepsecurity.c is utterly cavalier about further munging such structures without copying them first. There may be no live bug in HEAD as a consequence of the fact that we apply preprocess_expression in between here and prepsecurity.c, and that will make a copy of the tree anyway. Or it may just be that the regression tests happen to not trip over it. (I noticed this only because things fell over pretty badly when I tried to relocate the planner's call of expand_security_quals to before expression preprocessing.) In any case it's very fragile because if anyone tried to make the securityQuals and WithCheckOption trees diverge before we reach preprocess_expression, it would not work. The fact that the current code will preprocess securityQuals and WithCheckOptions lists at completely different times in different query levels does nothing to increase my trust that that can't happen. In view of the fact that 9.5.0 is almost upon us and the aforesaid commit has seen exactly zero field testing, the prudent course is to make an extra copy of the quals so that the behavior is not different from what has been in the field during beta.
* Rename (new|old)estCommitTs to (new|old)estCommitTsXidJoe Conway2015-12-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The variables newestCommitTs and oldestCommitTs sound as if they are timestamps, but in fact they are the transaction Ids that correspond to the newest and oldest timestamps rather than the actual timestamps. Rename these variables to reflect that they are actually xids: to wit newestCommitTsXid and oldestCommitTsXid respectively. Also modify related code in a similar fashion, particularly the user facing output emitted by pg_controldata and pg_resetxlog. Complaint and patch by me, review by Tom Lane and Alvaro Herrera. Backpatch to 9.5 where these variables were first introduced.
* Fix translation domain in pg_basebackupAlvaro Herrera2015-12-28
| | | | | | | | | | | For some reason, we've been overlooking the fact that pg_receivexlog and pg_recvlogical are using wrong translation domains all along, so their output hasn't ever been translated. The right domain is pg_basebackup, not their own executable names. Noticed by Ioseph Kim, who's been working on the Korean translation. Backpatch pg_receivexlog to 9.2 and pg_recvlogical to 9.4.
* Fix brin_summarize_new_values() to check index type and ownership.Tom Lane2015-12-26
| | | | | | | | | | brin_summarize_new_values() did not check that the passed OID was for an index at all, much less that it was a BRIN index, and would fail in obscure ways if it wasn't (possibly damaging data first?). It also lacked any permissions test; by analogy to VACUUM, we should only allow the table's owner to summarize. Noted by Jeff Janes, fix by Michael Paquier and me
* Remove unnecessary row ordering dependency in pg_rewind test suite.Tom Lane2015-12-24
| | | | | | | t/002_databases.pl was expecting to see a specific physical order of the rows in pg_database. I broke that in HEAD with commit 01e386a325549b77, but I'd say it's a pretty fragile test methodology in any case, so fix it in 9.5 as well.

* Improve handling of password reuse in src/bin/scripts programs.Tom Lane2015-12-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts most of commit 83dec5a71 in favor of having connectDatabase() store the possibly-reusable password in a static variable, similar to the coding we've had for a long time in pg_dump's version of that function. To avoid possible problems with unwanted password reuse, make callers specify whether it's reasonable to attempt to re-use the password. This is a wash for cases where re-use isn't needed, but it is far simpler for callers that do want that. Functionally there should be no difference. Even though we're past RC1, it seems like a good idea to back-patch this into 9.5, like the prior commit. Otherwise, if there are any third-party users of connectDatabase(), they'll have to deal with an API change in 9.5 and then another one in 9.6. Michael Paquier
* In pg_dump, remember connection passwords no matter how we got them.Tom Lane2015-12-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When pg_dump prompts the user for a password, it remembers the password for possible re-use by parallel worker processes. However, libpq might have extracted the password from a connection string originally passed as "dbname". Since we don't record the original form of dbname but break it down to host/port/etc, the password gets lost. Fix that by retrieving the actual password from the PGconn. (It strikes me that this whole approach is rather broken, as it will also lose other information such as options that might have been present in the connection string. But we'll leave that problem for another day.) In passing, get rid of rather silly use of malloc() for small fixed-size arrays. Back-patch to 9.3 where parallel pg_dump was introduced. Report and fix by Zeus Kronion, adjusted a bit by Michael Paquier and me

* Make viewquery a copy in rewriteTargetView()Stephen Frost2015-12-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rather than expect the Query returned by get_view_query() to be read-only and then copy bits and pieces of it out, simply copy the entire structure when we get it. This addresses an issue where AcquireRewriteLocks, which is called by acquireLocksOnSubLinks(), scribbles on the parsetree passed in, which was actually an entry in relcache, leading to segfaults with certain view definitions. This also future-proofs us a bit for anyone adding more code to this path. The acquireLocksOnSubLinks() was added in commit c3e0ddd40. Back-patch to 9.3 as that commit was.
* Remove silly completion for "DELETE FROM tabname ...".Tom Lane2015-12-20
| | | | | | psql offered USING, WHERE, and SET in this context, but SET is not a valid possibility here. Seems to have been a thinko in commit f5ab0a14ea83eb6c which added DELETE's USING option.

* Add missing COSTS OFF to EXPLAIN commands in rowsecurity.sql.Tom Lane2015-12-19
| | | | | | | | Commit e5e11c8cc added a bunch of EXPLAIN statements without COSTS OFF to the regression tests. This is contrary to project policy since it results in unnecessary platform dependencies in the output (it's just luck that we didn't get buildfarm failures from it). Per gripe from Mike Wilson.
* Fix tab completion for ALTER ... TABLESPACE ... OWNED BY.Andres Freund2015-12-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | Previously the completion used the wrong word to match 'BY'. This was introduced brokenly, in b2de2a. While at it, also add completion of IN TABLESPACE ... OWNED BY and fix comments referencing nonexistent syntax. Reported-By: Michael Paquier Author: Michael Paquier and Andres Freund Discussion: CAB7nPqSHDdSwsJqX0d2XzjqOHr==HdWiubCi4L=Zs7YFTUne8w@mail.gmail.com Backpatch: 9.4, like the commit introducing the bug
* pgbench: Change terminology from "threshold" to "parameter".Robert Haas2015-12-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | Per a recommendation from Tomas Vondra, it's more helpful to refer to the value that determines how skewed a Gaussian or exponential distribution is as a parameter rather than a threshold. Since it's not quite too late to get this right in 9.5, where it was introduced, back-patch this. Most of the patch changes only comments and documentation, but a few pgbench messages are altered to match. Fabien Coelho, reviewed by Michael Paquier and by me.
* Fix copy-and-paste error in logical decoding callback.Robert Haas2015-12-18

* Remove unreferenced function declarations.Tom Lane2015-12-17
| | | | | | datapagemap_create() and datapagemap_destroy() were declared extern, but they don't actually exist anywhere. Per YUriy Zhuravlev and Michael Paquier.
* Fix improper initialization order for readline.Tom Lane2015-12-17
| | | | | | | | | Turns out we must set rl_basic_word_break_characters *before* we call rl_initialize() the first time, because it will quietly copy that value elsewhere --- but only on the first call. (Love these undocumented dependencies.) I broke this yesterday in commit 2ec477dc8108339d; like that commit, back-patch to all active branches. Per report from Pavel Stehule.
* Rework internals of changing a type's ownershipAlvaro Herrera2015-12-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is necessary so that REASSIGN OWNED does the right thing with composite types, to wit, that it also alters ownership of the type's pg_class entry -- previously, the pg_class entry remained owned by the original user, which caused later other failures such as the new owner's inability to use ALTER TYPE to rename an attribute of the affected composite. Also, if the original owner is later dropped, the pg_class entry becomes owned by a non-existant user which is bogus. To fix, create a new routine AlterTypeOwner_oid which knows whether to pass the request to ATExecChangeOwner or deal with it directly, and use that in shdepReassignOwner rather than calling AlterTypeOwnerInternal directly. AlterTypeOwnerInternal is now simpler in that it only modifies the pg_type entry and recurses to handle a possible array type; higher-level tasks are handled by either AlterTypeOwner directly or AlterTypeOwner_oid. I took the opportunity to add a few more objects to the test rig for REASSIGN OWNED, so that more cases are exercised. Additional ones could be added for superuser-only-ownable objects (such as FDWs and event triggers) but I didn't want to push my luck by adding a new superuser to the tests on a backpatchable bug fix. Per bug #13666 reported by Chris Pacejo. Backpatch to 9.5. (I would back-patch this all the way back, except that it doesn't apply cleanly in 9.4 and earlier because 59367fdf9 wasn't backpatched. If we decide that we need this in earlier branches too, we should backpatch both.)
* Cope with Readline's failure to track SIGWINCH events outside of input.Tom Lane2015-12-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It emerges that libreadline doesn't notice terminal window size change events unless they occur while collecting input. This is easy to stumble over if you resize the window while using a pager to look at query output, but it can be demonstrated without any pager involvement. The symptom is that queries exceeding one line are misdisplayed during subsequent input cycles, because libreadline has the wrong idea of the screen dimensions. The safest, simplest way to fix this is to call rl_reset_screen_size() just before calling readline(). That causes an extra ioctl(TIOCGWINSZ) for every command; but since it only happens when reading from a tty, the performance impact should be negligible. A more valid objection is that this still leaves a tiny window during entry to readline() wherein delivery of SIGWINCH will be missed; but the practical consequences of that are probably negligible. In any case, there doesn't seem to be any good way to avoid the race, since readline exposes no functions that seem safe to call from a generic signal handler --- rl_reset_screen_size() certainly isn't. It turns out that we also need an explicit rl_initialize() call, else rl_reset_screen_size() dumps core when called before the first readline() call. rl_reset_screen_size() is not present in old versions of libreadline, so we need a configure test for that. (rl_initialize() is present at least back to readline 4.0, so we won't bother with a test for it.) We would need a configure test anyway since libedit's emulation of libreadline doesn't currently include such a function. Fortunately, libedit seems not to have any corresponding bug.

* Collect the global OR of hasRowSecurity flags for plancacheStephen Frost2015-12-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We carry around information about if a given query has row security or not to allow the plancache to use that information to invalidate a planned query in the event that the environment changes. Previously, the flag of one of the subqueries was simply being copied into place to indicate if the query overall included RLS components. That's wrong as we need the global OR of all subqueries. Fix by changing the code to match how fireRIRules works, which is results in OR'ing all of the flags. Noted by Tom. Back-patch to 9.5 where RLS was introduced.

* pg_rewind: Don't error if the two clusters are already on the same timelineTom Lane2015-12-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This previously resulted in an error and a nonzero exit status, but after discussion this should rather be a noop with a zero exit status. This is a back-patch of commit 6b34e5563849edc12896bf5754e8fe7b88012697, plus two changes from commit e50cda78404d6400b1326a996a4fabb144871151 that teach pg_rewind to allow the initial control file states to be DB_SHUTDOWNED_IN_RECOVERY as well as DB_SHUTDOWNED. That's necessary to get the additional regression test case to pass, and the old behavior seems like rather a foot-gun anyway. Peter Eisentraut and Tom Lane
* Add missing CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS in lseg_inside_polyAlvaro Herrera2015-12-14
| | | | | | | | | Apparently, there are bugs in this code that cause it to loop endlessly. That bug still needs more research, but in the meantime it's clear that the loop is missing a check for interrupts so that it can be cancelled timely. Backpatch to 9.1 -- this has been missing since 49475aab8d0d.
* Remove xmlparse(document '') testKevin Grittner2015-12-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | This one test was behaving differently between the ubuntu fix for CVE-2015-7499 and the base "expected" file. It's not worth having yet another version of the expected file for this test, so drop it. Perhaps at some point when all distros have settled down to the same behavior on this test, it can be restored. Problem found by me on libxml2 (2.9.1+dfsg1-3ubuntu4.6). Solution suggested by Tom Lane. Backpatch to 9.5, where the test was added.
* Fix out-of-memory error handling in ParameterDescription message processing.Heikki Linnakangas2015-12-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | If libpq ran out of memory while constructing the result set, it would hang, waiting for more data from the server, which might never arrive. To fix, distinguish between out-of-memory error and not-enough-data cases, and give a proper error message back to the client on OOM. There are still similar issues in handling COPY start messages, but let's handle that as a separate patch. Michael Paquier, Amit Kapila and me. Backpatch to all supported versions.
* Fix bug in SetOffsetVacuumLimit() triggered by find_multixact_start() failure.Andres Freund2015-12-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, if find_multixact_start() failed, SetOffsetVacuumLimit() would install 0 into MultiXactState->offsetStopLimit if it previously succeeded. Luckily, there are no known cases where find_multixact_start() will return an error in 9.5 and above. But if it were to happen, for example due to filesystem permission issues, it'd be somewhat bad: GetNewMultiXactId() could continue allocating mxids even if close to a wraparound, or it could erroneously stop allocating mxids, even if no wraparound is looming. The wrong value would be corrected the next time SetOffsetVacuumLimit() is called, or by a restart. Reported-By: Noah Misch, although this is not his preferred fix Discussion: 20151210140450.GA22278@alap3.anarazel.de Backpatch: 9.5, where the bug was introduced as part of 4f627f
* Correct statement to actually be the intended assert statement.Andres Freund2015-12-14
| | | | | | | | | e3f4cfc7 introduced a LWLockHeldByMe() call, without the corresponding Assert() surrounding it. Spotted by Coverity. Backpatch: 9.1+, like the previous commit
* Consistently set all fields in pg_stat_replication to null instead of 0Magnus Hagander2015-12-13
| | | | | | Previously the "sent" field would be set to 0 and all other xlog pointers be set to NULL if there were no valid values (such as when in a backup sending walsender).
* Properly initialize write, flush and replay locations in walsender slotsMagnus Hagander2015-12-13
| | | | | | | | | These would leak random xlog positions if a walsender used for backup would a walsender slot previously used by a replication walsender. In passing also fix a couple of cases where the xlog pointer is directly compared to zero instead of using XLogRecPtrIsInvalid, noted by Michael Paquier.
* Fix ALTER TABLE ... SET TABLESPACE for unlogged relations.Andres Freund2015-12-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Changing the tablespace of an unlogged relation did not WAL log the creation and content of the init fork. Thus, after a standby is promoted, unlogged relation cannot be accessed anymore, with errors like: ERROR: 58P01: could not open file "pg_tblspc/...": No such file or directory Additionally the init fork was not synced to disk, independent of the configured wal_level, a relatively small durability risk. Investigation of that problem also brought to light that, even for permanent relations, the creation of !main forks was not WAL logged, i.e. no XLOG_SMGR_CREATE record were emitted. That mostly turns out not to be a problem, because these files were created when the actual relation data is copied; nonexistent files are not treated as an error condition during replay. But that doesn't work for empty files, and generally feels a bit haphazard. Luckily, outside init and main forks, empty forks don't occur often or are not a problem. Add the required WAL logging and syncing to disk.

* Add an expected-file to match behavior of latest libxml2.Tom Lane2015-12-11
| | | | | | | | | | | Recent releases of libxml2 do not provide error context reports for errors detected at the very end of the input string. This appears to be a bug, or at least an infelicity, introduced by the fix for libxml2's CVE-2015-7499. We can hope that this behavioral change will get undone before too long; but the security patch is likely to spread a lot faster/further than any follow-on cleanup, which means this behavior is likely to be present in the wild for some time to come. As a stopgap, add a variant regression test expected-file that matches what you get with a libxml2 that acts this way.
* For REASSIGN OWNED for foreign user mappingsAlvaro Herrera2015-12-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | As reported in bug #13809 by Alexander Ashurkov, the code for REASSIGN OWNED hadn't gotten word about user mappings. Deal with them in the same way default ACLs do, which is to ignore them altogether; they are handled just fine by DROP OWNED. The other foreign object cases are already handled correctly by both commands. Also add a REASSIGN OWNED statement to foreign_data test to exercise the foreign data objects. (The changes are just before the "cleanup" phase, so it shouldn't remove any existing live test.) Reported by Alexander Ashurkov, then independently by Jaime Casanova.
* Handle policies during DROP OWNED BYStephen Frost2015-12-11
| | | | | | | | | | DROP OWNED BY handled GRANT-based ACLs but was not removing roles from policies. Fix that by having DROP OWNED BY remove the role specified from the list of roles the policy (or policies) apply to, or the entire policy (or policies) if it only applied to the role specified. As with ACLs, the DROP OWNED BY caller must have permission to modify the policy or a WARNING is thrown and no change is made to the policy.
* Get rid of the planner's LateralJoinInfo data structure.Tom Lane2015-12-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I originally modeled this data structure on SpecialJoinInfo, but after commit acfcd45cacb6df23 that looks like a pretty poor decision. All we really need is relid sets identifying laterally-referenced rels; and most of the time, what we want to know about includes indirect lateral references, a case the LateralJoinInfo data was unsuited to compute with any efficiency. The previous commit redefined RelOptInfo.lateral_relids as the transitive closure of lateral references, so that it easily supports checking indirect references. For the places where we really do want just direct references, add a new RelOptInfo field direct_lateral_relids, which is easily set up as a copy of lateral_relids before we perform the transitive closure calculation. Then we can just drop lateral_info_list and LateralJoinInfo and the supporting code. This makes the planner's handling of lateral references noticeably more efficient, and shorter too. Such a change can't be back-patched into stable branches for fear of breaking extensions that might be looking at the planner's data structures; but it seems not too late to push it into 9.5, so I've done so.
* Handle dependencies properly in ALTER POLICYStephen Frost2015-12-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | ALTER POLICY hadn't fully considered partial policy alternation (eg: change just the roles on the policy, or just change one of the expressions) when rebuilding the dependencies. Instead, it would happily remove all dependencies which existed for the policy and then only recreate the dependencies for the objects referred to in the specific ALTER POLICY command. Correct that by extracting and building the dependencies for all objects referenced by the policy, regardless of if they were provided as part of the ALTER POLICY command or were already in place as part of the pre-existing policy.
* Still more fixes for planner's handling of LATERAL references.Tom Lane2015-12-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | More fuzz testing by Andreas Seltenreich exposed that the planner did not cope well with chains of lateral references. If relation X references Y laterally, and Y references Z laterally, then we will have to scan X on the inside of a nestloop with Z, so for all intents and purposes X is laterally dependent on Z too. The planner did not understand this and would generate intermediate joins that could not be used. While that was usually harmless except for wasting some planning cycles, under the right circumstances it would lead to "failed to build any N-way joins" or "could not devise a query plan" planner failures. To fix that, convert the existing per-relation lateral_relids and lateral_referencers relid sets into their transitive closures; that is, they now show all relations on which a rel is directly or indirectly laterally dependent. This not only fixes the chained-reference problem but allows some of the relevant tests to be made substantially simpler and faster, since they can be reduced to simple bitmap manipulations instead of searches of the LateralJoinInfo list. Also, when a PlaceHolderVar that is due to be evaluated at a join contains lateral references, we should treat those references as indirect lateral dependencies of each of the join's base relations. This prevents us from trying to join any individual base relations to the lateral reference source before the join is formed, which again cannot work. Andreas' testing also exposed another oversight in the "dangerous PlaceHolderVar" test added in commit 85e5e222b1dd02f1. Simply rejecting unsafe join paths in joinpath.c is insufficient, because in some cases we will end up rejecting *all* possible paths for a particular join, again leading to "could not devise a query plan" failures. The restriction has to be known also to join_is_legal and its cohort functions, so that they will not select a join for which that will happen. I chose to move the supporting logic into joinrels.c where the latter functions are. Back-patch to 9.3 where LATERAL support was introduced.
* Fix commit timestamp initializationAlvaro Herrera2015-12-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This module needs explicit initialization in order to replay WAL records in recovery, but we had broken this recently following changes to make other (stranger) scenarios work correctly. To fix, rework the initialization sequence so that it always takes place before WAL replay commences for both master and standby. I could have gone for a more localized fix that just added a "startup" call for the master server, but it seemed better to restructure the existing callers as well so that the whole thing made more sense. As a drawback, there is more control logic in xlog.c now than previously, but doing otherwise meant passing down the ControlFile flag, which seemed uglier as a whole. This also meant adding a check to not re-execute ActivateCommitTs if it had already been called. Reported by Fujii Masao. Backpatch to 9.5.

* Fix ON CONFLICT UPDATE bug breaking AFTER UPDATE triggers.Andres Freund2015-12-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ExecOnConflictUpdate() passed t_ctid of the to-be-updated tuple to ExecUpdate(). That's problematic primarily because of two reason: First and foremost t_ctid could point to a different tuple. Secondly, and that's what triggered the complaint by Stanislav, t_ctid is changed by heap_update() to point to the new tuple version. The behavior of AFTER UPDATE triggers was therefore broken, with NEW.* and OLD.* tuples spuriously identical within AFTER UPDATE triggers. To fix both issues, pass a pointer to t_self of a on-stack HeapTuple instead. Fixing this bug lead to one change in regression tests, which previously failed due to the first issue mentioned above. There's a reasonable expectation that test fails, as it updates one row repeatedly within one INSERT ... ON CONFLICT statement. That is only possible if the second update is triggered via ON CONFLICT ... SET, ON CONFLICT ... WHERE, or by a WITH CHECK expression, as those are executed after ExecOnConflictUpdate() does a visibility check. That could easily be prohibited, but given it's allowed for plain UPDATEs and a rare corner case, it doesn't seem worthwhile.

* Fix bug leading to restoring unlogged relations from empty files.Andres Freund2015-12-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At the end of crash recovery, unlogged relations are reset to the empty state, using their init fork as the template. The init fork is copied to the main fork without going through shared buffers. Unfortunately WAL replay so far has not necessarily flushed writes from shared buffers to disk at that point. In normal crash recovery, and before the introduction of 'fast promotions' in fd4ced523 / 9.3, the END_OF_RECOVERY checkpoint flushes the buffers out in time. But with fast promotions that's not the case anymore. To fix, force WAL writes targeting the init fork to be flushed immediately (using the new FlushOneBuffer() function). In 9.5+ that flush can centrally be triggered from the code dealing with restoring full page writes (XLogReadBufferForRedoExtended), in earlier releases that responsibility is in the hands of XLOG_HEAP_NEWPAGE's replay function. Backpatch to 9.1, even if this currently is only known to trigger in 9.3+. Flushing earlier is more robust, and it is advantageous to keep the branches similar. Typical symptoms of this bug are errors like 'ERROR: index "..." contains unexpected zero page at block 0' shortly after promoting a node.

* Simplify LATERAL-related calculations within add_paths_to_joinrel().Tom Lane2015-12-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While convincing myself that commit 7e19db0c09719d79 would solve both of the problems recently reported by Andreas Seltenreich, I realized that add_paths_to_joinrel's handling of LATERAL restrictions could be made noticeably simpler and faster if we were to retain the minimum possible parameterization for each joinrel (that is, the set of relids supplying unsatisfied lateral references in it). We already retain that for baserels, in RelOptInfo.lateral_relids, so we can use that field for joinrels too. This is a back-port of commit edca44b1525b3d591263d032dc4fe500ea771e0e. I originally intended not to back-patch that, but additional hacking in this area turns out to be needed, making it necessary not optional to compute lateral_relids for joinrels. In preparation for those fixes, sync the relevant code with HEAD as much as practical. (I did not risk rearranging fields of RelOptInfo in released branches, however.)
* Make failure to open psql's --log-file fatal.Tom Lane2015-12-08
| | | | | | | | Commit 344cdff2c made failure to open the target of --output fatal. For consistency, the --log-file switch should behave similarly. Like the previous commit, back-patch to 9.5 but no further. Daniel Verite
* Avoid odd portability problem in TestLib.pm's slurp_file function.Tom Lane2015-12-08
| | | | | | | | For unclear reasons, this function doesn't always read the expected data in some old Perl versions. Rewriting it to avoid use of ARGV seems to dodge the problem, and this version is clearer anyway if you ask me. In passing, also improve error message in adjacent append_to_file function.
* Allow foreign and custom joins to handle EvalPlanQual rechecks.Robert Haas2015-12-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit e7cb7ee14555cc9c5773e2c102efd6371f6f2005 provided basic infrastructure for allowing a foreign data wrapper or custom scan provider to replace a join of one or more tables with a scan. However, this infrastructure failed to take into account the need for possible EvalPlanQual rechecks, and ExecScanFetch would fail an assertion (or just overwrite memory) if such a check was attempted for a plan containing a pushed-down join. To fix, adjust the EPQ machinery to skip some processing steps when scanrelid == 0, making those the responsibility of scan's recheck method, which also has the responsibility in this case of correctly populating the relevant slot. To allow foreign scans to gain control in the right place to make use of this new facility, add a new, optional RecheckForeignScan method. Also, allow a foreign scan to have a child plan, which can be used to correctly populate the slot (or perhaps for something else, but this is the only use currently envisioned).
