2019-02-09Solve cross-version-upgrade testing problem induced by 1fb57af92.Tom Lane
Renaming varchar_transform to varchar_support had a side effect I hadn't foreseen: the core regression tests leave around a transform object that relies on that function, so the name change breaks cross-version upgrade tests, because the name used in the older branches doesn't match. Since the dependency on varchar_transform was chosen with the aid of a dartboard anyway (it would surely not work as a language transform support function), fix by just choosing a different random builtin function with the right signature. Also add some comments explaining why this isn't horribly unsafe. I chose to make the same substitution in a couple of other copied-and-pasted test cases, for consistency, though those aren't directly contributing to the testing problem. Per buildfarm. Back-patch, else it doesn't fix the problem.
2019-02-09Repair unsafe/unportable snprintf usage in pg_restore.Tom Lane
warn_or_exit_horribly() was blithely passing a potentially-NULL string pointer to a %s format specifier. That works (at least to the extent of not crashing) on some platforms, but not all, and since we switched to our own snprintf.c it doesn't work for us anywhere. Of the three string fields being handled this way here, I think that only "owner" is supposed to be nullable ... but considering that this is error-reporting code, it has very little business assuming anything, so put in defenses for all three. Per a crash observed on buildfarm member crake and then reproduced here. Because of the portability aspect, back-patch to all supported versions.
2019-02-09Call set_rel_pathlist_hook before generate_gather_paths, not after.Tom Lane
The previous ordering of these steps satisfied the nominal requirement that set_rel_pathlist_hook could editorialize on the whole set of Paths constructed for a base relation. In practice, though, trying to change the set of partial paths was impossible. Adding one didn't work because (a) it was too late to be included in Gather paths made by the core code, and (b) calling add_partial_path after generate_gather_paths is unsafe, because it might try to delete a path it thinks is dominated, but that is already embedded in some Gather path(s). Nor could the hook safely remove partial paths, for the same reason that they might already be embedded in Gathers. Better to call extensions first, let them add partial paths as desired, and then gather. In v11 and up, we already doubled down on that ordering by postponing gathering even further for single-relation queries; so even if the hook wished to editorialize on Gather path construction, it could not. Report and patch by KaiGai Kohei. Back-patch to 9.6 where Gather paths were added. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAOP8fzahwpKJRTVVTqo2AE=mDTz_efVzV6Get_0=U3SO+-ha1A@mail.gmail.com

While this isn't really supposed to happen, it can occur in OOM situations and perhaps others. Instead of crashing, substitute "(no message provided)".

2019-02-07Ensure that foreign scans with lateral refs are planned correctly.Tom Lane
As reported in bug #15613 from Srinivasan S A, file_fdw and postgres_fdw neglected to mark plain baserel foreign paths as parameterized when the relation has lateral_relids. Other FDWs have surely copied this mistake, so rather than just patching those two modules, install a band-aid fix in create_foreignscan_path to rectify the mistake centrally. Although the band-aid is enough to fix the visible symptom, correct the calls in file_fdw and postgres_fdw anyway, so that they are valid examples for external FDWs. Also, since the band-aid isn't enough to make this work for parameterized foreign joins, throw an elog(ERROR) if such a case is passed to create_foreignscan_path. This shouldn't pose much of a problem for existing external FDWs, since it's likely they aren't trying to make such paths anyway (though some of them may need a defense against joins with lateral_relids, similar to the one this patch installs into postgres_fdw). Add some assertions in relnode.c to catch future occurrences of the same error --- in particular, as backstop against core-code mistakes like the one fixed by commit bdd9a99aa.

2019-02-06Propagate lateral-reference information to indirect descendant relations.Tom Lane
create_lateral_join_info() computes a bunch of information about lateral references between base relations, and then attempts to propagate those markings to appendrel children of the original base relations. But the original coding neglected the possibility of indirect descendants (grandchildren etc). During v11 development we noticed that this was wrong for partitioned-table cases, but failed to realize that it was just as wrong for any appendrel. While the case can't arise for appendrels derived from traditional table inheritance (because we make a flat appendrel for that), nested appendrels can arise from nested UNION ALL subqueries. Failure to mark the lower-level relations as having lateral references leads to confusion in add_paths_to_append_rel about whether unparameterized paths can be built. It's not very clear whether that leads to any user-visible misbehavior; the lack of field reports suggests that it may cause nothing worse than minor cost misestimation. Still, it's a bug, and it leads to failures of Asserts that I intend to add later. To fix, we need to propagate information from all appendrel parents, not just those that are RELOPT_BASERELs. We can still do it in one pass, if we rely on the append_rel_list to be ordered with ancestor relationships before descendant ones; add assertions checking that. While fixing this, we can make a small performance improvement by traversing the append_rel_list just once instead of separately for each appendrel parent relation. Noted while investigating bug #15613, though this patch does not fix that (which is why I'm not committing the related Asserts yet). Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/3951.1549403812@sss.pgh.pa.us

2019-02-04Doc: in each release branch, keep only that branch's own release notes.Tom Lane
Historically we've had each release branch include all prior branches' notes, including minor-release changes, back to the beginning of the project. That's basically an O(N^2) proposition, and it was starting to catch up with us: as of HEAD the back-branch release notes alone accounted for nearly 30% of the documentation. While there's certainly some value in easy access to back-branch notes, this is getting out of hand. Hence, switch over to the rule that each branch contains only its own release notes. So as to not make older notes too hard to find, each branch will provide URLs for the immediately preceding branches' release notes on the project website. There might be value in providing aggregated notes across all branches somewhere on the website, but that's a task for another day.

2019-02-04Fix dumping of matviews with indirect dependencies on primary keys.Tom Lane
Commit 62215de29 turns out to have been not quite on-the-mark. When we are forced to postpone dumping of a materialized view into the dump's post-data section (because it depends on a unique index that isn't created till that section), we may also have to postpone dumping other matviews that depend on said matview. The previous fix didn't reliably work for such cases: it'd break the dependency loops properly, producing a workable object ordering, but it didn't necessarily mark all the matviews as "postponed_def". This led to harmless bleating about "archive items not in correct section order", as reported by Tom Cassidy in bug #15602. Less harmlessly, selective-restore options such as --section might misbehave due to the matview dump objects not being properly labeled. The right way to fix it is to consider that each pre-data dependency we break amounts to moving the no-longer-dependent object into post-data, and hence we should mark that object if it's a matview. Back-patch to all supported versions, since the issue's been there since matviews were introduced. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/15602-e895445f73dc450b@postgresql.org
2019-02-04Move port-specific parts of with_temp_install to port makefile.Andrew Gierth
Rather than define ld_library_path_ver with a big nested $(if), just put the overriding values in the makefiles for the relevant ports. Also add a variable for port makefiles to append their own stuff to with_temp_install, and use it to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH_RPATH=1 on FreeBSD which is needed to make LD_LIBRARY_PATH override DT_RPATH if DT_RUNPATH is not set (which seems to depend in unpredictable ways on the choice of compiler, at least on my system). Backpatch for the benefit of anyone doing regression tests on FreeBSD. (For other platforms there should be no functional change.)

To avoid deadlock, backend acquires a lock on heap pages in block number order. In certain cases, lock on heap pages is dropped and reacquired. In this case, the locks are dropped for reading in corresponding VM page/s. The issue is we re-acquire locks in bufferId order whereas the intention was to acquire in blockid order.

When logging the replica identity of a deleted tuple, XLOG_HEAP_DELETE records include references of the old tuple.

2019-01-30Fix a crash in logical replicationPeter Eisentraut
The bug was that determining which columns are part of the replica identity index using RelationGetIndexAttrBitmap() would run eval_const_expressions() on index expressions and predicates across all indexes of the table, which in turn might require a snapshot, but there wasn't one set, so it crashes. There were actually two separate bugs, one on the publisher and one on the subscriber. To trigger the bug, a table that is part of a publication or subscription needs to have an index with a predicate or expression that lends itself to constant expressions simplification. The fix is to avoid the constant expressions simplification in RelationGetIndexAttrBitmap(), so that it becomes safe to call in these contexts. The constant expressions simplification comes from the calls to RelationGetIndexExpressions()/RelationGetIndexPredicate() via BuildIndexInfo(). But RelationGetIndexAttrBitmap() calling BuildIndexInfo() is overkill. The latter just takes pg_index catalog information, packs it into the IndexInfo structure, which former then just unpacks again and throws away. We can just do this directly with less overhead and skip the troublesome calls to eval_const_expressions(). This also removes the awkward cross-dependency between relcache.c and index.c.

Since LISTEN is (still) disallowed, UNLISTEN must be a no-op in a hot-standby session, and so there's no harm in allowing it.

2019-01-24Remove infinite-loop hazards in ecpg test suite.Tom Lane
A report from Andrew Dunstan showed that an ecpglib breakage that causes repeated query failures could lead to infinite loops in some ecpg test scripts, because they contain "while(1)" loops with no exit condition other than successful test completion. That might be all right for manual testing, but it seems entirely unacceptable for automated test environments such as our buildfarm. We don't want buildfarm owners to have to intervene manually when a test goes wrong. To fix, just change all those while(1) loops to exit after at most 100 iterations (which is more than any of them expect to iterate). This seems sufficient since we'd see discrepancies in the test output if any loop executed the wrong number of times. I tested this by dint of intentionally breaking ecpg_do_prologue to always fail, and verifying that the tests still got to completion. Back-patch to all supported branches, since the whole point of this exercise is to protect the buildfarm against future mistakes. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/18693.1548302004@sss.pgh.pa.us

2019-01-21Avoid thread-safety problem in ecpglib.Tom Lane
ecpglib attempts to force the LC_NUMERIC locale to "C" while reading server output, to avoid problems with strtod() and related functions. Historically it's just issued setlocale() calls to do that, but that has major problems if we're in a threaded application. setlocale() itself is not required by POSIX to be thread-safe (and indeed is not, on recent OpenBSD). Moreover, its effects are process-wide, so that we could cause unexpected results in other threads, or another thread could change our setting. On platforms having uselocale(), which is required by POSIX:2008, we can avoid these problems by using uselocale() instead. Windows goes its own way as usual, but we can make it safe by using _configthreadlocale(). Platforms having neither continue to use the old code, but that should be pretty much nobody among current systems. (Subsequent buildfarm results show that recent NetBSD versions still lack uselocale(), but it's not a big problem because they also do not support non-"C" settings for LC_NUMERIC.)

2019-01-18Restrict the use of temporary namespace in two-phase transactionsMichael Paquier
Attempting to use a temporary table within a two-phase transaction is forbidden for ages. However, there have been uncovered grounds for a couple of other object types and commands which work on temporary objects with two-phase commit. In short, trying to create, lock or drop an object on a temporary schema should not be authorized within a two-phase transaction, as it would cause its state to create dependencies with other sessions, causing all sorts of side effects with the existing session or other sessions spawned later on trying to use the same temporary schema name. Regression tests are added to cover all the grounds found, the original report mentioned function creation, but monitoring closer there are many other patterns with LOCK, DROP or CREATE EXTENSION which are involved. One of the symptoms resulting in combining both is that the session which used the temporary schema is not able to shut down completely, waiting for being able to drop the temporary schema, something that it cannot complete because of the two-phase transaction involved with temporary objects. In this case the client is able to disconnect but the session remains alive on the backend-side, potentially blocking connection backend slots from being used. Other problems reported could also involve server crashes. This is back-patched down to v10, which is where 9b013dc has introduced MyXactFlags, something that this patch relies on.

2019-01-17Postpone aggregate checks until after collation is assigned.Andrew Gierth
Previously, parseCheckAggregates was run before assign_query_collations, but this causes problems if any expression has already had a collation assigned by some transform function (e.g. transformCaseExpr) before parseCheckAggregates runs. The differing collations would cause expressions not to be recognized as equal to the ones in the GROUP BY clause, leading to spurious errors about unaggregated column references. The result was that CASE expr WHEN val ... would fail when "expr" contained a GROUPING() expression or matched one of the group by expressions, and where collatable types were involved; whereas the supposedly identical CASE WHEN expr = val ... would succeed.

2019-01-11Fix up confusion over how to use EXTRA_INSTALL.Tom Lane
Some makefiles were trying to do this: temp-install: EXTRA_INSTALL=contrib/test_decoding but that no longer works as of commit aa019da52: the macro is now consulted by the checkprep target, one level down, and apparently gmake doesn't propagate such macro settings recursively. The problem is masked since 42e61c774 because pgxs.mk also sets up EXTRA_INSTALL, and correctly applies it to the checkprep target. Unfortunately I'd not risked back-patching that to before v11. Since aa019da52 was pushed back to v10, it broke test_decoding there (the only module for which this actually makes a difference at present). Hence, back-patch 42e61c774 to v10.

2019-01-11Avoid sharing PARAM_EXEC slots between different levels of NestLoop.Tom Lane
Up to now, createplan.c attempted to share PARAM_EXEC slots for NestLoopParams across different plan levels, if the same underlying Var was being fed down to different righthand-side subplan trees by different NestLoops. This was, I think, more of an artifact of using subselect.c's PlannerParamItem infrastructure than an explicit design goal, but anyway that was the end result. This works well enough as long as the plan tree is executing synchronously, but the feature whereby Gather can execute the parallelized subplan locally breaks it. An upper NestLoop node might execute for a row retrieved from a parallel worker, and assign a value for a PARAM_EXEC slot from that row, while the leader's copy of the parallelized subplan is suspended with a different active value of the row the Var comes from. When control eventually returns to the leader's subplan, it gets the wrong answers if the same PARAM_EXEC slot is being used within the subplan, as reported in bug #15577 from Bartosz Polnik. This is pretty reminiscent of the problem fixed in commit 46c508fbc, and the proper fix seems to be the same: don't try to share PARAM_EXEC slots across different levels of controlling NestLoop nodes. This requires decoupling NestLoopParam handling from PlannerParamItem handling, although the logic remains somewhat similar. To avoid bizarre division of labor between subselect.c and createplan.c, I decided to move all the param-slot-assignment logic for both cases out of those files and put it into a new file paramassign.c. Hopefully it's a bit better documented now, too. A regression test case for this might be nice, but we don't know a test case that triggers the problem with a suitably small amount of data. Back-patch to 9.6 where we added Gather nodes. It's conceivable that related problems exist in older branches; but without some evidence for that, I'll leave the older branches alone.

2019-01-11doc: Correct documentation of install-time environment variablesPeter Eisentraut
Since approximately PostgreSQL 10, it is no longer required that environment variables at installation time such as PERL, PYTHON, TCLSH be "full path names", so change that phrasing in the installation instructions. (The exact time of change appears to differ for PERL and the others, but it works consistently in PostgreSQL 10.) Also while we're here document the defaults for PERL and PYTHON, but since the search list for TCLSH is so long, let's leave that out so we don't need to maintain a copy of that list in the installation instructions.
2019-01-08Doc: update our docs about kernel IPC parameters on *BSD.Tom Lane
runtime.sgml said that you couldn't change SysV IPC parameters on OpenBSD except by rebuilding the kernel. That's definitely wrong in OpenBSD 6.x, and excavation in their man pages says it changed in OpenBSD 3.3. Update NetBSD and OpenBSD sections to recommend adjustment of the SEMMNI and SEMMNS settings, which are painfully small by default on those platforms. (The discussion thread contemplated recommending that people select POSIX semaphores instead, but the performance consequences of that aren't really clear, so I'll refrain.) Remove pointless discussion of SEMMNU and SEMMAP from the FreeBSD section. Minor other wordsmithing. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/27582.1546928073@sss.pgh.pa.us

2019-01-03Improve ANALYZE's handling of concurrent-update scenarios.Tom Lane
This patch changes the rule for whether or not a tuple seen by ANALYZE should be included in its sample. When we last touched this logic, in commit 51e1445f1, we weren't thinking very hard about tuples being UPDATEd by a long-running concurrent transaction. In such a case, we might see the pre-image as either LIVE or DELETE_IN_PROGRESS depending on timing; and we might see the post-image not at all, or as INSERT_IN_PROGRESS. Since the existing code will not sample either DELETE_IN_PROGRESS or INSERT_IN_PROGRESS tuples, this leads to concurrently-updated rows being omitted from the sample entirely. That's not very helpful, and it's especially the wrong thing if the concurrent transaction ends up rolling back. The right thing seems to be to sample DELETE_IN_PROGRESS rows just as if they were live. This makes the "sample it" and "count it" decisions the same, which seems good for consistency. It's clearly the right thing if the concurrent transaction ends up rolling back; in effect, we are sampling as though IN_PROGRESS transactions haven't happened yet. Also, this combination of choices ensures maximum robustness against the different combinations of whether and in which state we might see the pre- and post-images of an update. It's slightly annoying that we end up recording immediately-out-of-date stats in the case where the transaction does commit, but on the other hand the stats are fine for columns that didn't change in the update. And the alternative of sampling INSERT_IN_PROGRESS rows instead seems like a bad idea, because then the sampling would be inconsistent with the way rows are counted for the stats report. Per report from Mark Chambers; thanks to Jeff Janes for diagnosing what was happening. Back-patch to all supported versions.

2019-01-03Update ssl test certificates and keysPeter Eisentraut
Debian testing and newer now require that RSA and DHE keys are at least 2048 bit long and no longer allow SHA-1 for signatures in certificates. This is currently causing the ssl tests to fail there because the test certificates and keys have been created in violation of those conditions. Update the parameters to create the test files and create a new set of test files.

2019-01-02Don't believe MinMaxExpr is leakproof without checking.Tom Lane
MinMaxExpr invokes the btree comparison function for its input datatype, so it's only leakproof if that function is. Many such functions are indeed leakproof, but others are not, and we should not just assume that they are. Hence, adjust contain_leaked_vars to verify the leakproofness of the referenced function explicitly. I didn't add a regression test because it would need to depend on some particular comparison function being leaky, and that's a moving target, per discussion. This has been wrong all along, so back-patch to supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/31042.1546194242@sss.pgh.pa.us
