2019-07-30Print WAL position correctly in pg_rewind error message.Heikki Linnakangas
This has been wrong ever since pg_rewind was added. The if-branch just above this, where we print the same error with an extra message supplied by XLogReadRecord() got this right, but the variable name was wrong in the else-branch. As a consequence, the error printed the WAL position as 0/0 if there was an error reading a WAL file. Backpatch to 9.5, where pg_rewind was added.
2019-07-30Don't build extended statistics on inheritance treesTomas Vondra
When performing ANALYZE on inheritance trees, we collect two samples for each relation - one for the relation alone, and one for the inheritance subtree (relation and its child relations). And then we build statistics on each sample, so for each relation we get two sets of statistics. For regular (per-column) statistics this works fine, because the catalog includes a flag differentiating statistics built from those two samples. But we don't have such flag in the extended statistics catalogs, and we ended up updating the same row twice, triggering this error: ERROR: tuple already updated by self The simplest solution is to disable extended statistics on inheritance trees, which is what this commit is doing. In the future we may need to do something similar to per-column statistics, but that requires adding a flag to the catalog - and that's not backpatchable. Moreover, the current selectivity estimation code only works with individual relations, so building statistics on inheritance trees would be pointless anyway.

2019-07-29Fix busted logic for parallel lock grouping in TopoSort().Tom Lane
A "break" statement erroneously left behind by commit a1c1af2a1 caused TopoSort to do the wrong thing if a lock's wait list contained multiple members of the same locking group. Because parallel workers don't normally need any locks not already taken by their leader, this is very hard --- maybe impossible --- to hit in production. Still, if it did happen, the queries involved in an otherwise-resolvable deadlock would block until canceled. In addition to removing the bogus "break", add an Assert showing that the conflicting uses of the beforeConstraints[] array (for both counts and flags) don't overlap, and add some commentary explaining why not; because it's not obvious without explanation, IMHO. Original report and patch from Rui Hai Jiang; additional assert and commentary by me. Back-patch to 9.6 where the bug came in.

2019-07-26Tweak our special-case logic for the IANA "Factory" timezone.Tom Lane
pg_timezone_names() tries to avoid showing the "Factory" zone in the view, mainly because that has traditionally had a very long "abbreviation" such as "Local time zone must be set--see zic manual page", so that showing it messes up psql's formatting of the whole view. Since tzdb version 2016g, IANA instead uses the abbreviation "-00", which is sane enough that there's no reason to discriminate against it. On the other hand, it emerges that FreeBSD and possibly other packagers are so wedded to backwards compatibility that they hack the IANA data to keep the old spelling --- and not just that old spelling, but even older spellings that IANA used back in the stone age. This caused the filter logic to fail to suppress "Factory" at all on such platforms, though the formatting problem is definitely real in that case. To solve both problems, get rid of the hard-wired assumption about exactly what Factory's abbreviation is, and instead reject abbreviations exceeding 31 characters. This will allow Factory to appear in the view if and only if it's using the modern abbreviation. In passing, simplify the code we add to zic.c to support "zic -P" to remove its now-obsolete hacks to not print the Factory zone's abbreviation. Unlike pg_timezone_names(), there's no reason for that code to support old/nonstandard timezone data. Since we generally prefer to keep timezone-related behavior the same in all branches, and since this is arguably a bug fix, back-patch to all supported branches.

2019-07-26Avoid choosing "localtime" or "posixrules" as TimeZone during initdb.Tom Lane
Some platforms create a file named "localtime" in the system timezone directory, making it a copy or link to the active time zone file. If Postgres is built with --with-system-tzdata, initdb will see that file as an exact match to localtime(3)'s behavior, and it may decide that "localtime" is the most preferred spelling of the active zone. That's a very bad choice though, because it's neither informative, nor portable, nor stable if someone changes the system timezone setting. Extend the preference logic added by commit e3846a00c so that we will prefer any other zone file that matches localtime's behavior over "localtime". On the same logic, also discriminate against "posixrules", which is another not-really-a-zone file that is often present in the timezone directory. (Since we install "posixrules" but not "localtime", this change can affect the behavior of Postgres with or without --with-system-tzdata.) Note that this change doesn't prevent anyone from choosing these pseudo-zones if they really want to (i.e., by setting TZ for initdb, or modifying the timezone GUC later on). It just prevents initdb from preferring these zone names when there are multiple matches to localtime's behavior. Since we generally prefer to keep timezone-related behavior the same in all branches, and since this is arguably a bug fix, back-patch to all supported branches.

2019-07-25Fix failures to ignore \r when reading Windows-style newlines.Tom Lane
libpq failed to ignore Windows-style newlines in connection service files. This normally wasn't a problem on Windows itself, because fgets() would convert \r\n to just \n. But if libpq were running inside a program that changes the default fopen mode to binary, it would see the \r's and think they were data. In any case, it's project policy to ignore \r in text files unconditionally, because people sometimes try to use files with DOS-style newlines on Unix machines, where the C library won't hide that from us. Hence, adjust parseServiceFile() to ignore \r as well as \n at the end of the line. In HEAD, go a little further and make it ignore all trailing whitespace, to match what it's always done with leading whitespace. In HEAD, also run around and fix up everyplace where we have newline-chomping code to make all those places look consistent and uniformly drop \r. It is not clear whether any of those changes are fixing live bugs. Most of the non-cosmetic changes are in places that are reading popen output, and the jury is still out as to whether popen on Windows can return \r\n. (The Windows-specific code in pipe_read_line seems to think so, but our lack of support for this elsewhere suggests maybe it's not a problem in practice.) Hence, I desisted from applying those changes to back branches, except in run_ssl_passphrase_command() which is new enough and little-tested enough that we'd probably not have heard about any problems there. Tom Lane and Michael Paquier, per bug #15827 from Jorge Gustavo Rocha.

2019-07-24Fix infelicities in describeOneTableDetails' partitioned-table handling.Tom Lane
describeOneTableDetails issued a partition-constraint-fetching query for every table, even ones it knows perfectly well are not partitions. To add insult to injury, it then proceeded to leak the empty PGresult if the table wasn't a partition. Doing that a lot of times might amount to a meaningful leak, so this seems like a back-patchable bug. Fix that, and also fix a related PGresult leak in the partition-parent case (though that leak would occur only if we got no row, which is unexpected). Minor code beautification too, to make this code look more like the pre-existing code around it. Back-patch the whole change into v12. However, the fact that we already know whether the table is a partition dates only to commit 1af25ca0c; back-patching the relevant changes from that is probably more churn than is justified in released branches. Hence, in v11 and v10, just do the minimum to fix the PGresult leaks. Noted while messing around with adjacent code for yesterday's \d improvements.

2019-07-22Install dependencies to prevent dropping partition key columns.Tom Lane
The logic in ATExecDropColumn that rejects dropping partition key columns is quite an inadequate defense, because it doesn't execute in cases where a column needs to be dropped due to cascade from something that only the column, not the whole partitioned table, depends on. That leaves us with a badly broken partitioned table; even an attempt to load its relcache entry will fail. We really need to have explicit pg_depend entries that show that the column can't be dropped without dropping the whole table. Hence, add those entries. In v12 and HEAD, bump catversion to ensure that partitioned tables will have such entries. We can't do that in released branches of course, so in v10 and v11 this patch affords protection only to partitioned tables created after the patch is installed. Given the lack of field complaints (this bug was found by fuzz-testing not by end users), that's probably good enough. In passing, fix ATExecDropColumn and ATPrepAlterColumnType messages to be more specific about which partition key column they're complaining about. Per report from Manuel Rigger.

The values 'infinity' and '-infinity' are a part of the DATE type itself, so a bound of the date 'infinity' is not the same as an unbounded/infinite range. However, it is still wrong to try to canonicalize such values, because adding or subtracting one has no effect. Fix by treating 'infinity' and '-infinity' the same as unbounded ranges for the purposes of canonicalization (but not other purposes).

2019-07-16Fix thinko in construction of old_conpfeqop list.Tom Lane
This should lappend the OIDs, not lcons them; the existing code produced a list in reversed order. This is harmless for single-key FKs or FKs where all the key columns are of the same type, which probably explains how it went unnoticed. But if those conditions are not met, ATAddForeignKeyConstraint would make the wrong decision about whether an existing FK needs to be revalidated. I think it would almost always err in the safe direction by revalidating a constraint that didn't need it. You could imagine scenarios where the pfeqop check was fooled by swapping the types of two FK columns in one ALTER TABLE, but that case would probably be rejected by other tests, so it might be impossible to get to the worst-case scenario where an FK should be revalidated and isn't. (And even then, it's likely to be fine, unless there are weird inconsistencies in the equality behavior of the replacement types.) However, this is a performance bug at least. Noted while poking around to see whether lcons calls could be converted to lappend. This bug is old, dating to commit cb3a7c2b9, so back-patch to all supported branches.

2019-07-03Don't remove surplus columns from GROUP BY for inheritance parentsDavid Rowley
d4c3a156c added code to remove columns that were not part of a table's PRIMARY KEY constraint from the GROUP BY clause when all the primary key columns were present in the group by. This is fine to do since we know that there will only be one row per group coming from this relation. However, the logic failed to consider inheritance parent relations. These can have child relations without a primary key, but even if they did, they could duplicate one of the parent's rows or one from another child relation. In this case, those additional GROUP BY columns are required. Fix this by disabling the optimization for inheritance parent tables. In v11 and beyond, partitioned tables are fine since partitions cannot overlap and before v11 partitioned tables could not have a primary key.

2019-06-24Further fix ALTER COLUMN TYPE's handling of indexes and index constraints.Tom Lane
This patch reverts all the code changes of commit e76de8861, which turns out to have been seriously misguided. We can't wait till later to compute the definition string for an index; we must capture that before applying the data type change for any column it depends on, else ruleutils.c will deliverr wrong/misleading results. (This fine point was documented nowhere, of course.) I'd also managed to forget that ATExecAlterColumnType executes once per ALTER COLUMN TYPE clause, not once per statement; which resulted in the code being basically completely broken for any case in which multiple ALTER COLUMN TYPE clauses are applied to a table having non-constraint indexes that must be rebuilt. Through very bad luck, none of the existing test cases nor the ones added by e76de8861 caught that, but of course it was soon found in the field. The previous patch also had an implicit assumption that if a constraint's index had a dependency on a table column, so would the constraint --- but that isn't actually true, so it didn't fix such cases. Instead of trying to delete unneeded index dependencies later, do the is-there-a-constraint lookup immediately on seeing an index dependency, and switch to remembering the constraint if so. In the unusual case of multiple column dependencies for a constraint index, this will result in duplicate constraint lookups, but that's not that horrible compared to all the other work that happens here. Besides, such cases did not work at all before, so it's hard to argue that they're performance-critical for anyone. Per bug #15865 from Keith Fiske. As before, back-patch to all supported branches.

2019-06-22Fix spinlock assembly code for MIPS so it works on MIPS r6.Tom Lane
Original MIPS-I processors didn't have the LL/SC instructions (nor any other userland synchronization primitive). If the build toolchain targets that ISA variant by default, as an astonishingly large fraction of MIPS platforms still do, the assembler won't take LL/SC without coercion in the form of a ".set mips2" instruction. But we issued that unconditionally, making it an ISA downgrade for chips later than MIPS2. That breaks things for the latest MIPS r6 ISA, which encodes these instructions differently. Adjust the code so we don't change ISA level if it's >= 2. Note that this patch doesn't change what happens on an actual MIPS-I processor: either the kernel will emulate these instructions transparently, or you'll get a SIGILL failure. That tradeoff seemed fine in 2002 when this code was added (cf 3cbe6b247), and it's even more so today when MIPS-I is basically extinct. But let's add a comment about that. YunQiang Su (with cosmetic adjustments by me). Back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/15844-8f62fe7e163939b3@postgresql.org
2019-06-21Consolidate methods for translating a Perl path to a Windows path.Noah Misch
This fixes some TAP suites when using msys Perl and a builddir located in an msys mount point other than "/". For example, builddir=/c/pg exhibited the problem, since /c/pg falls in mount point "/c". Back-patch to 9.6, where tests first started to perform such translations. In back branches, offer both new and old APIs. Reviewed by Andrew Dunstan.

2019-06-18Avoid spurious deadlocks when upgrading a tuple lockAlvaro Herrera
This puts back reverted commit de87a084c0a5, with some bug fixes. When two (or more) transactions are waiting for transaction T1 to release a tuple-level lock, and transaction T1 upgrades its lock to a higher level, a spurious deadlock can be reported among the waiting transactions when T1 finishes. The simplest example case seems to be: T1: select id from job where name = 'a' for key share; Y: select id from job where name = 'a' for update; -- starts waiting for T1 Z: select id from job where name = 'a' for key share; T1: update job set name = 'b' where id = 1; Z: update job set name = 'c' where id = 1; -- starts waiting for T1 T1: rollback; At this point, transaction Y is rolled back on account of a deadlock: Y holds the heavyweight tuple lock and is waiting for the Xmax to be released, while Z holds part of the multixact and tries to acquire the heavyweight lock (per protocol) and goes to sleep; once T1 releases its part of the multixact, Z is awakened only to be put back to sleep on the heavyweight lock that Y is holding while sleeping. Kaboom. This can be avoided by having Z skip the heavyweight lock acquisition. As far as I can see, the biggest downside is that if there are multiple Z transactions, the order in which they resume after T1 finishes is not guaranteed. Backpatch to 9.6. The patch applies cleanly on 9.5, but the new tests don't work there (because isolationtester is not smart enough), so I'm not going to risk it.
