* Enable settings used in TAP tests for MSVC buildsAndrew Dunstan2021-12-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Certain settings from configuration or the Makefile infrastructure are used by the TAP tests, but were not being set up by vcregress.pl. This remedies those omissions. This should increase test coverage, especially on the buildfarm.

* On Windows, also call shutdown() while closing the client socket.Tom Lane2021-12-07
| | | | | | | | | | | Further experimentation shows that commit 6051857fc is not sufficient when using (some versions of?) OpenSSL. The reason is obscure, but calling shutdown(socket, SD_SEND) improves matters. Per testing by Andrew Dunstan and Alexander Lakhin. Back-patch as before.

* On Windows, close the client socket explicitly during backend shutdown.Tom Lane2021-12-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | It turns out that this is necessary to keep Winsock from dropping any not-yet-sent data, such as an error message explaining the reason for process termination. It's pretty weird that the implicit close done by the kernel acts differently from an explicit close, but it's hard to argue with experimental results.

* Move into separate file all the SQL queries used in pg_upgrade testsMichael Paquier2021-12-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The existing pg_upgrade/test.sh and the buildfarm code have been holding the same set of SQL queries when doing cross-version upgrade tests to adapt the objects created by the regression tests before the upgrade (mostly, incompatible or non-existing objects need to be dropped from the origin, perhaps re-created). This moves all those SQL queries into a new, separate, file with a set of \if clauses to handle the version checks depending on the old version of the cluster to-be-upgraded. The long-term plan is to make the buildfarm code re-use this new SQL file, so as committers are able to fix any compatibility issues in the tests of pg_upgrade with a refresh of the core code, without having to poke at the buildfarm client. Note that this is only able to handle the main regression test suite, and that nothing is done yet for contrib modules yet (these have more issues like their database names). A backpatch down to 10 is done, adapting the version checks as this script needs to be only backward-compatible, so as it becomes possible to clean up a maximum amount of code within the buildfarm client.

* Avoid leaking memory during large-scale REASSIGN OWNED BY operations.Tom Lane2021-12-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The various ALTER OWNER routines tend to leak memory in CurrentMemoryContext. That's not a problem when they're only called once per command; but in this usage where we might be touching many objects, it can amount to a serious memory leak. Fix that by running each call in a short-lived context. (DROP OWNED BY likely has a similar issue, except that you'll probably run out of lock table space before noticing. REASSIGN is worth fixing since for most non-table object types, it won't take any lock.) Back-patch to all supported branches. Unfortunately, in the back branches this helps to only a limited extent, since the sinval message queue bloats quite a lot in this usage before commit 3aafc030a, consuming memory more or less comparable to what's actually leaked. Still, it's clearly a leak with a simple fix, so we might as well fix it.

* Block ALTER TABLE .. DROP NOT NULL on columns in replica identity indexMichael Paquier2021-11-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Replica identities that depend directly on an index rely on a set of properties, one of them being that all the columns defined in this index have to be marked as NOT NULL. There was a hole in the logic with ALTER TABLE DROP NOT NULL, where it was possible to remove the NOT NULL property of a column part of an index used as replica identity, so block it to avoid problems with logical decoding down the road. The same check was already done columns part of a primary key, so the fix is straight-forward.

* Adjust pg_dump's priority ordering for casts.Tom Lane2021-11-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a stored expression depends on a user-defined cast, the backend records the dependency as being on the cast's implementation function --- or indeed, if there's no cast function involved but just RelabelType or CoerceViaIO, no dependency is recorded at all. This is problematic for pg_dump, which is at risk of dumping things in the wrong order leading to restore failures. Given the lack of previous reports, the risk isn't that high, but it can be demonstrated if the cast is used in some view whose rowtype is then used as an input or result type for some other function. (That results in the view getting hoisted into the functions portion of the dump, ahead of the cast.) A logically bulletproof fix for this would require including the cast's OID in the parsed form of the expression, whence it could be extracted by dependency.c, and then the stored dependency would force pg_dump to do the right thing. Such a change would be fairly invasive, and certainly not back-patchable. Moreover, since we'd prefer that an expression using cast syntax be equal() to one doing the same thing by explicit function call, the cast OID field would have to have special ignored-by-comparisons semantics, making things messy. So, let's instead fix this by a very simple hack in pg_dump: change the object-type priority order so that casts are initially sorted before functions, immediately after types. This fixes the problem in a fairly direct way for casts that have no implementation function. For those that do, the implementation function will be hoisted to just before the cast by the dependency sorting step, so that we still have a valid dump order. (I'm not sure that this provides a full guarantee of no problems; but since it's been like this for many years without any previous reports, this is probably enough to fix it in practice.) Per report from Дмитрий Иванов. Back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAPL5KHoGa3uvyKp6z6m48LwCnTsK+LRQ_mcA4uKGfqAVSEjV_A@mail.gmail.com
* Fix pg_dump --inserts mode for generated columns with dropped columns.Tom Lane2021-11-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a table contains a generated column that's preceded by a dropped column, dumpTableData_insert failed to account for the dropped column, and would emit DEFAULT placeholder(s) in the wrong column(s). This resulted in failures at restore time. The default COPY code path did not have this bug, likely explaining why it wasn't noticed sooner. While we're fixing this, we can be a little smarter about the situation: (1) avoid unnecessarily fetching the values of generated columns, (2) omit generated columns from the output, too, if we're using --column-inserts. While these modes aren't expected to be as high-performance as the COPY path, we might as well be as efficient as we can; it doesn't add much complexity. Per report from Дмитрий Иванов. Back-patch to v12 where generated columns came in. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAPL5KHrkBniyQt5e1rafm5DdXvbgiiqfEQEJ9GjtVzN71Jj5pA@mail.gmail.com
* pg_receivewal, pg_recvlogical: allow canceling initial password prompt.Tom Lane2021-11-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously it was impossible to terminate these programs via control-C while they were prompting for a password. We can fix that trivially for their initial password prompts, by moving setup of the SIGINT handler from just before to just after their initial GetConnection() calls. This fix doesn't permit escaping out of later re-prompts, but those should be exceedingly rare, since the user's password or the server's authentication setup would have to have changed meanwhile. We considered applying a fix similar to commit 46d665bc2, but that seemed more complicated than it'd be worth. Moreover, this way is back-patchable, which that wasn't. The misbehavior exists in all supported versions, so back-patch to all. Tom Lane and Nathan Bossart Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/747443.1635536754@sss.pgh.pa.us

* Add table to regression tests for binary-compatibility checks in pg_upgradeMichael Paquier2021-11-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit adds to the main regression test suite a table with all the in-core data types (some exceptions apply). This table is not dropped, so as pg_upgrade would be able to check the binary compatibility of the types tracked in the table. If a new type is added in core, this part of the tests would need a refresh but the tests are designed to fail if that were to happen. As this is useful for upgrades and that these rely on the objects created in the regression test suite of the old version upgraded from, a backpatch down to 12 is done, which is the last point where a binary incompatible change has been done (7c15cef). This will hopefully be enough to find out if something gets broken during the development of a new version of Postgres, so as it is possible to take actions in pg_upgrade itself in this case (like 0ccfc28 for sql_identifier). An area that is not covered yet is related to external modules, which may create their own types. The testing infrastructure of pg_upgrade is not integrated yet with the external modules stored in core (src/test/modules/ or contrib/, all use the same database name for their tests so there would be an overlap). This could be improved in the future.

* Clean up error handling in pg_basebackup's walmethods.c.Tom Lane2021-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The error handling here was a mess, as a result of a fundamentally bad design (relying on errno to keep its value much longer than is safe to assume) as well as a lot of just plain sloppiness, both as to noticing errors at all and as to reporting the correct errno. Moreover, the recent addition of LZ4 compression broke things completely, because liblz4 doesn't use errno to report errors. To improve matters, keep the error state in the DirectoryMethodData or TarMethodData struct, and add a string field so we can handle cases that don't set errno. (The tar methods already had a version of this, but it can be done more efficiently since all these cases use a constant error string.) Make the dir and tar methods handle errors in basically identical ways, which they didn't before. This requires copying errno into the state struct in a lot of places, which is a bit tedious, but it has the virtue that we can get rid of ad-hoc code to save and restore errno in a number of places ... not to mention that it fixes other places that should've saved/restored errno but neglected to. In passing, fix some pointlessly static buffers to be ordinary local variables. There remains an issue about exactly how to handle errors from fsync(), but that seems like material for its own patch. While the LZ4 problems are new, all the rest of this is fixes for old bugs, so backpatch to v10 where walmethods.c was introduced. Patch by me; thanks to Michael Paquier for review.

* Handle close() failures more robustly in pg_dump and pg_basebackup.Tom Lane2021-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Coverity complained that applying get_gz_error after a failed gzclose, as we did in one place in pg_basebackup, is unsafe. I think it's right: it's entirely likely that the call is touching freed memory. Change that to inspect errno, as we do for other gzclose calls. Also, be careful to initialize errno to zero immediately before any gzclose() call where we care about the error status. (There are some calls where we don't, because we already failed at some previous step.) This ensures that we don't get a misleadingly irrelevant error code if gzclose() fails in a way that doesn't set errno. We could work harder at that, but it looks to me like all such cases are basically can't-happen if we're not misusing zlib, so it's not worth the extra notational cruft that would be required. Also, fix several places that simply failed to check for close-time errors at all, mostly at some remove from the close or gzclose itself; and one place that did check but didn't bother to report the errno. Back-patch to v12. These mistakes are older than that, but between the frontend logging API changes that happened in v12 and the fact that frontend code can't rely on %m before that, the patch would need substantial revision to work in older branches. It doesn't quite seem worth the trouble given the lack of related field complaints. Patch by me; thanks to Michael Paquier for review. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/1343113.1636489231@sss.pgh.pa.us

* Make psql's \password default to CURRENT_USER, not PQuser(conn).Tom Lane2021-11-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The documentation says plainly that \password acts on "the current user" by default. What it actually acted on, or tried to, was the username used to log into the current session. This is not the same thing if one has since done SET ROLE or SET SESSION AUTHENTICATION. Aside from the possible surprise factor, it's quite likely that the current role doesn't have permissions to set the password of the original role. To fix, use "SELECT CURRENT_USER" to get the role name to act on. (This syntax works with servers at least back to 7.0.) Also, in hopes of reducing confusion, include the role name that will be acted on in the password prompt. The discrepancy from the documentation makes this a bug, so back-patch to all supported branches. Patch by me; thanks to Nathan Bossart for review.

* Fix buffer overrun in unicode string normalization with empty inputMichael Paquier2021-11-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | PostgreSQL 13 and newer versions are directly impacted by that through the SQL function normalize(), which would cause a call of this function to write one byte past its allocation if using in input an empty string after recomposing the string with NFC and NFKC. Older versions (v10~v12) are not directly affected by this problem as the only code path using normalization is SASLprep in SCRAM authentication that forbids the case of an empty string, but let's make the code more robust anyway there so as any out-of-core callers of this function are covered. The solution chosen to fix this issue is simple, with the addition of a fast-exit path if the decomposed string is found as empty. This would only happen for an empty string as at its lowest level a codepoint would be decomposed as itself if it has no entry in the decomposition table or if it has a decomposition size of 0. Some tests are added to cover this issue in v13~. Note that an empty string has always been considered as normalized (grammar "IS NF[K]{C,D} NORMALIZED", through the SQL function is_normalized()) for all the operations allowed (NFC, NFD, NFKC and NFKD) since this feature has been introduced as of 2991ac5. This behavior is unchanged but some tests are added in v13~ to check after that. I have also checked "make normalization-check" in src/common/unicode/, while on it (works in 13~, and breaks in older stable branches independently of this commit).

* libpq: reject extraneous data after SSL or GSS encryption handshake.Tom Lane2021-11-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | libpq collects up to a bufferload of data whenever it reads data from the socket. When SSL or GSS encryption is requested during startup, any additional data received with the server's yes-or-no reply remained in the buffer, and would be treated as already-decrypted data once the encryption handshake completed. Thus, a man-in-the-middle with the ability to inject data into the TCP connection could stuff some cleartext data into the start of a supposedly encryption-protected database session. This could probably be abused to inject faked responses to the client's first few queries, although other details of libpq's behavior make that harder than it sounds. A different line of attack is to exfiltrate the client's password, or other sensitive data that might be sent early in the session. That has been shown to be possible with a server vulnerable to CVE-2021-23214. To fix, throw a protocol-violation error if the internal buffer is not empty after the encryption handshake.

* Avoid O(N^2) behavior in SyncPostCheckpoint().Tom Lane2021-11-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As in commits 6301c3ada and e9d9ba2a4, avoid doing repetitive list_delete_first() operations, since that would be expensive when there are many files waiting to be unlinked. This is a slightly larger change than in those cases. We have to keep the list state valid for calls to AbsorbSyncRequests(), so it's necessary to invent a "canceled" field instead of immediately deleting PendingUnlinkEntry entries. Also, because we might not be able to process all the entries, we need a new list primitive list_delete_first_n(). list_delete_first_n() is almost list_copy_tail(), but it modifies the input List instead of making a new copy. I found a couple of existing uses of the latter that could profitably use the new function. (There might be more, but the other callers look like they probably shouldn't overwrite the input List.) As before, back-patch to v13. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CD2F0E7F-9822-45EC-A411-AE56F14DEA9F@amazon.com
* Avoid some other O(N^2) hazards in list manipulation.Tom Lane2021-11-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | In the same spirit as 6301c3ada, fix some more places where we were using list_delete_first() in a loop and thereby risking O(N^2) behavior. It's not clear that the lists manipulated in these spots can get long enough to be really problematic ... but it's not clear that they can't, either, and the fixes are simple enough.

* Preserve opclass parameters across REINDEX CONCURRENTLYMichael Paquier2021-11-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The opclass parameter Datums from the old index are fetched in the same way as for predicates and expressions, by grabbing them directly from the system catalogs. They are then copied into the new IndexInfo that will be used for the creation of the new copy. This caused the new index to be rebuilt with default parameters rather than the ones pre-defined by a user. The only way to get back a new index with correct opclass parameters would be to recreate a new index from scratch. The issue has been introduced by 911e702.

* Avoid O(N^2) behavior when the standby process releases many locks.Tom Lane2021-10-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When replaying a transaction that held many exclusive locks on the primary, a standby server's startup process would expend O(N^2) effort on manipulating the list of locks. This code was fine when written, but commit 1cff1b95a made repetitive list_delete_first() calls inefficient, as explained in its commit message. Fix by just iterating the list normally, and releasing storage only when done. (This'd be inadequate if we needed to recover from an error occurring partway through; but we don't.) Back-patch to v13 where 1cff1b95a came in. Nathan Bossart Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CD2F0E7F-9822-45EC-A411-AE56F14DEA9F@amazon.com

* Improve contrib/amcheck's tests for CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY.Tom Lane2021-10-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commits fdd965d07 and 3cd9c3b92 tested CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY by launching two separate pgbench runs concurrently. This was needed so that only a single client thread would run CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY, avoiding deadlock between two CICs. However, there's a better way, which is to use an advisory lock to prevent concurrent CICs. That's better in part because the test code is shorter and more readable, but mostly because it automatically scales things to launch an appropriate number of CICs relative to the number of INSERT transactions. As committed, typically half to three-quarters of the CIC transactions were pointless because the INSERT transactions had already stopped. In passing, remove background_pgbench, which was added to support these tests and isn't needed anymore. We can always put it back if we find a use for it later. Back-patch to v12; older pgbench versions lack the conditional-execution features needed for this method. Tom Lane and Andrey Borodin Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/139687.1635277318@sss.pgh.pa.us

* Fix CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY for the newest prepared transactions.Noah Misch2021-10-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The purpose of commit 8a54e12a38d1545d249f1402f66c8cde2837d97c was to fix this, and it sufficed when the PREPARE TRANSACTION completed before the CIC looked for lock conflicts. Otherwise, things still broke. As before, in a cluster having used CIC while having enabled prepared transactions, queries that use the resulting index can silently fail to find rows. It may be necessary to reindex to recover from past occurrences; REINDEX CONCURRENTLY suffices. Fix this for future index builds by making CIC wait for arbitrarily-recent prepared transactions and for ordinary transactions that may yet PREPARE TRANSACTION. As part of that, have PREPARE TRANSACTION transfer locks to its dummy PGPROC before it calls ProcArrayClearTransaction(). Back-patch to 9.6 (all supported versions).

* Avoid race in RelationBuildDesc() affecting CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY.Noah Misch2021-10-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | CIC and REINDEX CONCURRENTLY assume backends see their catalog changes no later than each backend's next transaction start. That failed to hold when a backend absorbed a relevant invalidation in the middle of running RelationBuildDesc() on the CIC index. Queries that use the resulting index can silently fail to find rows. Fix this for future index builds by making RelationBuildDesc() loop until it finishes without accepting a relevant invalidation.
