2019-07-18Fix daterange canonicalization for +/- infinity.Jeff Davis
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). Backpatch to all versions because it is inconsistent with the documented behavior. Note that this could be an incompatibility for applications relying on the behavior contrary to the documentation.

Brazil no longer observes DST. Historical corrections for Palestine, Hong Kong, and Italy.
2019-07-17Sync our copy of the timezone library with IANA release tzcode2019b.Tom Lane
A large fraction of this diff is just due to upstream's somewhat random decision to rename a bunch of internal variables and struct fields. However, there is an interesting new feature in zic: it's grown a "-b slim" option that emits zone files without 32-bit data and other backwards-compatibility hacks. We should consider whether we wish to enable that.
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.

2019-06-26Add support for OpenSSL 1.1.0 and newer versions in MSVC scriptsMichael Paquier
Up to now, the MSVC build scripts are able to support only one fixed version of OpenSSL, and they lacked logic to detect the version of OpenSSL a given compilation of Postgres is linking to (currently 1.0.2, the latest LTS of upstream which will be EOL'd at the end of 2019). This commit adds more logic to detect the version of OpenSSL used by a build and makes use of it to add support for compilation with OpenSSL 1.1.0 which requires a new set of compilation flags to work properly. The supported OpenSSL installers have changed their library layer with various library renames with the upgrade to 1.1.0, making the logic a bit more complicated.

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.

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.

2019-06-15Prefer timezone name "UTC" over alternative spellings.Andrew Gierth
tzdb 2019a made "UCT" a link to the "UTC" zone rather than a separate zone with its own abbreviation. Unfortunately, our code for choosing a timezone in initdb has an arbitrary preference for names earlier in the alphabet, and so it would choose the spelling "UCT" over "UTC" when the system is running on a UTC zone. Commit 23bd3cec6 was backpatched in order to address this issue, but that code helps only when /etc/localtime exists as a symlink, and does nothing to help on systems where /etc/localtime is a copy of a zone file (as is the standard setup on FreeBSD and probably some other platforms too) or when /etc/localtime is simply absent (giving UTC as the default). Accordingly, add a preference for the spelling "UTC", such that if multiple zone names have equally good content matches, we prefer that name before applying the existing arbitrary rules. Also add a slightly lower preference for "Etc/UTC"; lower because that preserves the previous behaviour of choosing the shorter name, but letting us still choose "Etc/UTC" over "Etc/UCT" when both exist but "UTC" does not (not common, but I've seen it happen). Backpatch all the way, because the tzdb change that sparked this issue is in those branches too.

2019-06-14Attempt to identify system timezone by reading /etc/localtime symlink.Tom Lane
On many modern platforms, /etc/localtime is a symlink to a file within the IANA database. Reading the symlink lets us find out the name of the system timezone directly, without going through the brute-force search embodied in scan_available_timezones(). This shortens the runtime of initdb by some tens of ms, which is helpful for the buildfarm, and it also allows us to reliably select the same zone name the system was actually configured for, rather than possibly choosing one of IANA's many zone aliases. (For example, in a system configured for "Asia/Tokyo", the brute-force search would not choose that name but its alias "Japan", on the grounds of the latter string being shorter. More surprisingly, "Navajo" is preferred to either "America/Denver" or "US/Mountain", as seen in an old complaint from Josh Berkus.) If /etc/localtime doesn't exist, or isn't a symlink, or we can't make sense of its contents, or the contents match a zone we know but that zone doesn't match the observed behavior of localtime(), fall back to the brute-force search. Also, tweak initdb so that it prints the zone name it selected. In passing, replace the last few references to the "Olson" database in code comments with "IANA", as that's been our preferred term since commit b2cbced9e. Back-patch of commit 23bd3cec6. The original intention was to not back-patch, since this can result in cosmetic behavioral changes --- for example, on my own workstation initdb now chooses "America/New_York", where it used to prefer "US/Eastern" which is equivalent and shorter. However, our hand has been more or less forced by tzdb update 2019a, which made the "UCT" zone fully equivalent to "UTC". Our old code now prefers "UCT" on the grounds of it being alphabetically first, and that's making nobody happy. Choosing the alias indicated by /etc/localtime is a more defensible behavior. (Users who don't like the results can always force the decision by setting the TZ environment variable before running initdb.)

2019-06-12Fix ALTER COLUMN TYPE failure with a partial exclusion constraint.Tom Lane
ATExecAlterColumnType failed to consider the possibility that an index that needs to be rebuilt might be a child of a constraint that needs to be rebuilt. We missed this so far because usually a constraint index doesn't have a direct dependency on its table, just on the constraint object. But if there's a WHERE clause, then dependency analysis of the WHERE clause results in direct dependencies on the column(s) mentioned in WHERE. This led to trying to drop and rebuild both the constraint and its underlying index. In v11/HEAD, we successfully drop both the index and the constraint, and then try to rebuild both, and of course the second rebuild hits a duplicate-index-name problem. Before v11, it fails with obscure messages about a missing relation OID, due to trying to drop the index twice. This is essentially the same kind of problem noted in commit 20bef2c31: the possible dependency linkages are broader than what ATExecAlterColumnType was designed for. It was probably OK when written, but it's certainly been broken since the introduction of partial exclusion constraints. Fix by adding an explicit check for whether any of the indexes-to-be-rebuilt belong to any of the constraints-to-be-rebuilt, and ignoring any that do. In passing, fix a latent bug introduced by commit 8b08f7d48: in get_constraint_index() we must "continue" not "break" when rejecting a relation of a wrong relkind. This is harmless today because we don't expect that code path to be taken anyway; but if there ever were any relations to be ignored, the existing coding would have an extremely undesirable dependency on the order of pg_depend entries. Also adjust a couple of obsolete comments. Per bug #15835 from Yaroslav Schekin. Back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/15835-32d9b7a76c06a7a9@postgresql.org

2019-06-07Fix copy-pasto in freeing memory on error in vacuumlo.Heikki Linnakangas
It's harmless to call PQfreemem() with a NULL argument, so the only consequence was that if allocating 'schema' failed, but allocating 'table' or 'field' succeeded, we would leak a bit of memory. That's highly unlikely to happen, so this is just academical, but let's get it right. Per bug #15838 from Timur Birsh. Backpatch back to 9.5, where the PQfreemem() calls were introduced.

2019-06-07Fix inconsistency in comments atop ExecParallelEstimate.Amit Kapila
When this code was initially introduced in commit d1b7c1ff, the structure used was SharedPlanStateInstrumentation, but later when it got changed to Instrumentation structure in commit b287df70, we forgot to update the comment.

2019-06-03Fix contrib/auto_explain to not cause problems in parallel workers.Tom Lane
A parallel worker process should not be making any decisions of its own about whether to auto-explain. If the parent session process passed down flags asking for instrumentation data, do that, otherwise not. Trying to enable instrumentation anyway leads to bugs like the "could not find key N in shm TOC" failure reported in bug #15821 from Christian Hofstaedtler. We can implement this cheaply by piggybacking on the existing logic for not doing anything when we've chosen not to sample a statement. While at it, clean up some tin-eared coding related to the sampling feature, including an off-by-one error that meant that asking for 1.0 sampling rate didn't actually result in sampling every statement. Although the specific case reported here only manifested in >= v11, I believe that related misbehaviors can be demonstrated in any version that has parallel query; and the off-by-one error is certainly there back to 9.6 where that feature was added. So back-patch to 9.6. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/15821-5eb422e980594075@postgresql.org

2019-05-28In the pg_upgrade test suite, don't write to src/test/regress.Noah Misch
When this suite runs installcheck, redirect file creations from src/test/regress to src/bin/pg_upgrade/tmp_check/regress. This closes a race condition in "make -j check-world". If the pg_upgrade suite wrote to a given src/test/regress/results file in parallel with the regular src/test/regress invocation writing it, a test failed spuriously. Even without parallelism, in "make -k check-world", the suite finishing second overwrote the other's regression.diffs. This revealed test "largeobject" assuming @abs_builddir@ is getcwd(), so fix that, too. Buildfarm client REL_10, released fifty-four days ago, supports saving regression.diffs from its new location. When an older client reports a pg_upgradeCheck failure, it will no longer include regression.diffs. Back-patch to 9.5, where pg_upgrade moved to src/bin.
