2022-05-06Temporarily skip recovery deadlock test in back branches.Andres Freund
The recovery deadlock test has a timing issue that was fixed in 5136967f1eb in HEAD. Unfortunately the same fix doesn't quite work in the back branches: 1) adjust_conf() doesn't exist, which is easy enough to work around 2) a restart cleares the recovery conflict stats < 15. These issues can be worked around, but given the upcoming set of minor releases, skip the problematic test for now. The buildfarm doesn't show failures in other parts of 031_recovery_conflict.pl.

2022-05-02Fix possibility of self-deadlock in ResolveRecoveryConflictWithBufferPin().Andres Freund
The tests added in 9f8a050f68d failed nearly reliably on FreeBSD in CI, and occasionally on the buildfarm. That turns out to be caused not by a bug in the test, but by a longstanding bug in recovery conflict handling. The standby timeout handler, used by ResolveRecoveryConflictWithBufferPin(), executed SendRecoveryConflictWithBufferPin() inside a signal handler. A bad idea, because the deadlock timeout handler (or a spurious latch set) could have interrupted ProcWaitForSignal(). If unlucky that could cause a self-deadlock on ProcArrayLock, if the deadlock check is in SendRecoveryConflictWithBufferPin()->CancelDBBackends(). To fix, set a flag in StandbyTimeoutHandler(), and check the flag in ResolveRecoveryConflictWithBufferPin(). Subsequently the recovery conflict tests will be backpatched.

2022-04-25Inhibit mingw CRT's auto-globbing of command line argumentsAndrew Dunstan
For some reason by default the mingw C Runtime takes it upon itself to expand program arguments that look like shell globbing characters.

This removes an inconsistency with Windows binaries built with MSVC, which have no such behaviour. Per suggestion from Noah Misch. Backpatch to all live branches.

2022-04-21Support new perl module namespace in stable branchesAndrew Dunstan
Commit b3b4d8e68a moved our perl test modules to a better namespace structure, but this has made life hard for people wishing to backpatch improvements in the TAP tests. Here we alleviate much of that difficulty by implementing the new module names on top of the old modules, mostly by using a little perl typeglob aliasing magic, so that we don't have a dual maintenance burden. This should work both for the case where a new test is backpatched and the case where a fix to an existing test that uses the new namespace is backpatched.

2022-04-20Fix CLUSTER tuplesorts on abbreviated expressions.Peter Geoghegan
CLUSTER sort won't use the datum1 SortTuple field when clustering against an index whose leading key is an expression. This makes it unsafe to use the abbreviated keys optimization, which was missed by the logic that sets up SortSupport state. Affected tuplesorts output tuples in a completely bogus order as a result (the wrong SortSupport based comparator was used for the leading attribute). This issue is similar to the bug fixed on the master branch by recent commit cc58eecc5d. But it's a far older issue, that dates back to the introduction of the abbreviated keys optimization by commit 4ea51cdfe8. Backpatch to all supported versions.

An ALTER FUNCTION command that tried to update both the function's proparallel property and its proconfig list failed to do the former, because it stored the new proparallel value into a tuple that was no longer the interesting one. Carelessness in 7aea8e4f2. (I did not bother with a regression test, because the only likely future breakage would be for someone to ignore the comment I added and add some other field update after the heap_modify_tuple step.

We don't allow to invoke more sync workers once we have reached the sync worker limit per subscription. But the check to enforce this also doesn't allow to launch an apply worker if it gets restarted.

2022-04-18Avoid invalid array reference in transformAlterTableStmt().Tom Lane
Don't try to look at the attidentity field of system attributes, because they're not there in the TupleDescAttr array. Sometimes this is harmless because we accidentally pick up a zero, but otherwise we'll report "no owned sequence found" from an attempt to alter a system attribute. (It seems possible that a SIGSEGV could occur, too, though I've not seen it in testing.) It's not in this function's charter to complain that you can't alter a system column, so instead just hard-wire an assumption that system attributes aren't identities. I didn't bother with a regression test because the appearance of the bug is very erratic. Per bug #17465 from Roman Zharkov. Back-patch to all supported branches. (There's not actually a live bug before v12, because before that get_attidentity() did the right thing anyway. But for consistency I changed the test in the older branches too.)

2022-04-14Rethink the delay-checkpoint-end mechanism in the back-branches.Robert Haas
The back-patch of commit bbace5697df12398e87ffd9879171c39d27f5b33 had the unfortunate effect of changing the layout of PGPROC in the back-branches, which could break extensions. This happened because it changed the delayChkpt from type bool to type int. So, change it back, and add a new bool delayChkptEnd field instead. The new field should fall within what used to be padding space within the struct, and so hopefully won't cause any extensions to break. Per report from Markus Wanner and discussion with Tom Lane and others. Patch originally by me, somewhat revised by Markus Wanner per a suggestion from Michael Paquier. A very similar patch was developed by Kyotaro Horiguchi, but I failed to see the email in which that was posted before writing one of my own.

2022-04-14pageinspect: Fix handling of all-zero pagesMichael Paquier
Getting from get_raw_page() an all-zero page is considered as a valid case by the buffer manager and it can happen for example when finding a corrupted page with zero_damaged_pages enabled (using zero_damaged_pages to look at corrupted pages happens), or after a crash when a relation file is extended before any WAL for its new data is generated (before a vacuum or autovacuum job comes in to do some cleanup). However, all the functions of pageinspect, as of the index AMs (except hash that has its own idea of new pages), heap, the FSM or the page header have never worked with all-zero pages, causing various crashes when going through the page internals. This commit changes all the pageinspect functions to be compliant with all-zero pages, where the choice is made to return NULL or no rows for SRFs when finding a new page. get_raw_page() still works the same way, returning a batch of zeros in the bytea of the page retrieved. A hard error could be used but NULL, while more invasive, is useful when scanning relation files in full to get a batch of results for a single relation in one query. Tests are added for all the code paths impacted.

2022-04-12Doc: tweak textsearch.sgml for SEO purposes.Tom Lane
Google seems to like to return textsearch.html for queries about GIN and GiST indexes, even though it's not a primary reference for either. It seems likely that that's because those keywords appear in the page title. Since "GIN and GiST Index Types" is not a very apposite title for this material anyway, rename the section in hopes of stopping that. Also provide explicit links to the GIN and GiST chapters, to help anyone who finds their way to this page regardless. Per gripe from Jan Piotrowski. Back-patch to supported branches.

2022-03-31Fix postgres_fdw to check shippability of sort clauses properly.Tom Lane
postgres_fdw would push ORDER BY clauses to the remote side without verifying that the sort operator is safe to ship. Moreover, it failed to print a suitable USING clause if the sort operator isn't default for the sort expression's type. The net result of this is that the remote sort might not have anywhere near the semantics we expect, which'd be disastrous for locally-performed merge joins in particular. We addressed similar issues in the context of ORDER BY within an aggregate function call in commit 7012b132d, but failed to notice that query-level ORDER BY was broken. Thus, much of the necessary logic already existed, but it requires refactoring to be usable in both cases. Back-patch to all supported branches. In HEAD only, remove the core code's copy of find_em_expr_for_rel, which is no longer used and really should never have been pushed into equivclass.c in the first place.

2022-03-28Document autoanalyze limitations for partitioned tablesTomas Vondra
When dealing with partitioned tables, counters for partitioned tables are not updated when modifying child tables. This means autoanalyze may not update optimizer statistics for the parent relations, which can result in poor plans for some queries. It's worth documenting this limitation, so that people are aware of it and can take steps to mitigate it (e.g. by setting up a script executing ANALYZE regularly). Backpatch to v10.

2022-03-27pageinspect: Add more sanity checks to prevent out-of-bound readsMichael Paquier
A couple of code paths use the special area on the page passed by the function caller, expecting to find some data in it. However, feeding an incorrect page can lead to out-of-bound reads when trying to access the page special area (like a heap page that has no special area, leading PageGetSpecialPointer() to grab a pointer outside the allocated page). The functions used for hash and btree indexes have some protection already against that, while some other functions using a relation OID as argument would make sure that the access method involved is correct, but functions taking in input a raw page without knowing the relation the page is attached to would run into problems. This commit improves the set of checks used in the code paths of BRIN, btree (including one check if a leaf page is found with a non-zero level), GIN and GiST to verify that the page given in input has a special area size that fits with each access method, which is done though PageGetSpecialSize(), becore calling PageGetSpecialPointer(). The scope of the checks done is limited to work with pages that one would pass after getting a block with get_raw_page(), as it is possible to craft byteas that could bypass existing code paths. Having too many checks would also impact the usability of pageinspect, as the existing code is very useful to look at the content details in a corrupted page, so the focus is really to avoid out-of-bound reads as this is never a good thing even with functions whose execution is limited to superusers. The safest approach could be to rework the functions so as these fetch a block using a relation OID and a block number, but there are also cases where using a raw page is useful. Tests are added to cover all the code paths that needed such checks, and an error message for hash indexes is reworded to fit better with what this commit adds.

2022-03-26Suppress compiler warning in relptr_store().Tom Lane
clang 13 with -Wextra warns that "performing pointer subtraction with a null pointer has undefined behavior" in the places where freepage.c tries to set a relptr variable to constant NULL. This appears to be a compiler bug, but it's unlikely to get fixed instantly. Fortunately, we can work around it by introducing an inline support function, which seems like a good change anyway because it removes the macro's existing double-evaluation hazard.

2022-03-22Fix failures in SSL tests caused by out-of-tree keys and certificatesMichael Paquier
This issue is environment-sensitive, where the SSL tests could fail in various way by feeding on defaults provided by sslcert, sslkey, sslrootkey, sslrootcert, sslcrl and sslcrldir coming from a local setup, as of ~/.postgresql/ by default. Horiguchi-san has reported two failures, but more advanced testing from me (aka inclusion of garbage SSL configuration in ~/.postgresql/ for all the configuration parameters) has showed dozens of failures that can be triggered in the whole test suite. History has showed that we are not good when it comes to address such issues, fixing them locally like in dd87799, and such problems keep appearing. This commit strengthens the entire test suite to put an end to this set of problems by embedding invalid default values in all the connection strings used in the tests. The invalid values are prefixed in each connection string, relying on the follow-up values passed in the connection string to enforce any invalid value previously set. Note that two tests related to CRLs are required to fail with certain pre-set configurations, but we can rely on enforcing an empty value instead after the invalid set of values.

2022-03-17Revert applying column aliases to the output of whole-row Vars.Tom Lane
In commit bf7ca1587, I had the bright idea that we could make the result of a whole-row Var (that is, foo.*) track any column aliases that had been applied to the FROM entry the Var refers to. However, that's not terribly logically consistent, because now the output of the Var is no longer of the named composite type that the Var claims to emit. bf7ca1587 tried to handle that by changing the output tuple values to be labeled with a blessed RECORD type, but that's really pretty disastrous: we can wind up storing such tuples onto disk, whereupon they're not readable by other sessions. The only practical fix I can see is to give up on what bf7ca1587 tried to do, and say that the column names of tuples produced by a whole-row Var are always those of the underlying named composite type, query aliases or no. While this introduces some inconsistencies, it removes others, so it's not that awful in the abstract. What *is* kind of awful is to make such a behavioral change in a back-patched bug fix. But corrupt data is worse, so back-patched it will be. (A workaround available to anyone who's unhappy about this is to introduce an extra level of sub-SELECT, so that the whole-row Var is referring to the sub-SELECT's output and not to a named table type. Then the Var is of type RECORD to begin with and there's no issue.) Per report from Miles Delahunty. The faulty commit dates to 9.5, so back-patch to all supported branches.

2022-03-16Fix race between DROP TABLESPACE and checkpointing.Thomas Munro
Commands like ALTER TABLE SET TABLESPACE may leave files for the next checkpoint to clean up. If such files are not removed by the time DROP TABLESPACE is called, we request a checkpoint so that they are deleted. However, there is presently a window before checkpoint start where new unlink requests won't be scheduled until the following checkpoint. This means that the checkpoint forced by DROP TABLESPACE might not remove the files we expect it to remove, and the following ERROR will be emitted: ERROR: tablespace "mytblspc" is not empty To fix, add a call to AbsorbSyncRequests() just before advancing the unlink cycle counter. This ensures that any unlink requests forwarded prior to checkpoint start (i.e., when ckpt_started is incremented) will be processed by the current checkpoint. Since AbsorbSyncRequests() performs memory allocations, it cannot be called within a critical section, so we also need to move SyncPreCheckpoint() to before CreateCheckPoint()'s critical section. This is an old bug, so back-patch to all supported versions.

This caused the function to fail, as the aligned copy of the raw page given by the function caller was not saved in the correct memory context, which needs to be multi_call_memory_ctx in this case. Issue introduced by 076f4d9. Per buildfarm members sifika, mylodon and longfin. I have reproduced that locally with macos.

2022-03-16pageinspect: Fix handling of page sizes and AM typesMichael Paquier
This commit fixes a set of issues related to the use of the SQL functions in this module when the caller is able to pass down raw page data as input argument: - The page size check was fuzzy in a couple of places, sometimes looking after only a sub-range, but what we are looking for is an exact match on BLCKSZ. After considering a few options here, I have settled down to do a generalization of get_page_from_raw(). Most of the SQL functions already used that, and this is not strictly required if not accessing an 8-byte-wide value from a raw page, but this feels safer in the long run for alignment-picky environment, particularly if a code path begins to access such values. This also reduces the number of strings that need to be translated. - The BRIN function brin_page_items() uses a Relation but it did not check the access method of the opened index, potentially leading to crashes. All the other functions in need of a Relation already did that. - Some code paths could fail on elog(), but we should to use ereport() for failures that can be triggered by the user. Tests are added to stress all the cases that are fixed as of this commit, with some junk raw pages (\set VERBOSITY ensures that this works across all page sizes) and unexpected index types when functions open relations.

2022-03-04Introduce PG_TEST_TIMEOUT_DEFAULT for TAP suite non-elapsing timeouts.Noah Misch
Slow hosts may avoid load-induced, spurious failures by setting environment variable PG_TEST_TIMEOUT_DEFAULT to some number of seconds greater than 180. Developers may see faster failures by setting that environment variable to some lesser number of seconds. In tests, write $PostgreSQL::Test::Utils::timeout_default wherever the convention has been to write 180. This change raises the default for some briefer timeouts. Back-patch to v10 (all supported versions). Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20220218052842.GA3627003@rfd.leadboat.com
2022-03-03Fix bogus casting in BlockIdGetBlockNumber().Tom Lane
This macro cast the result to BlockNumber after shifting, not before, which is the wrong thing. Per the C spec, the uint16 fields would promote to int not unsigned int, so that (for 32-bit int) the shift potentially shifts a nonzero bit into the sign position. I doubt there are any production systems where this would actually end with the wrong answer, but it is undefined behavior per the C spec, and clang's -fsanitize=undefined option reputedly warns about it on some platforms. (I can't reproduce that right now, but the code is undeniably wrong per spec.) It's easy to fix by casting to BlockNumber (uint32) in the proper places. It's been wrong for ages, so back-patch to all supported branches.

2022-03-03Clean up assorted failures under clang's -fsanitize=undefined checks.Tom Lane
Most of these are cases where we could call memcpy() or other libc functions with a NULL pointer and a zero count, which is forbidden by POSIX even though every production version of libc allows it. We've fixed such things before in a piecemeal way, but apparently never made an effort to try to get them all. I don't claim that this patch does so either, but it gets every failure I observe in check-world, using clang 12.0.1 on current RHEL8. numeric.c has a different issue that the sanitizer doesn't like: "ln(-1.0)" will compute log10(0) and then try to assign the resulting -Inf to an integer variable. We don't actually use the result in such a case, so there's no live bug. Back-patch to all supported branches, with the idea that we might start running a buildfarm member that tests this case. This includes back-patching c1132aae3 (Check the size in COPY_POINTER_FIELD), which previously silenced some of these issues in copyfuncs.c.

2022-03-02Allow root-owned SSL private keys in libpq, not only the backend.Tom Lane
This change makes libpq apply the same private-key-file ownership and permissions checks that we have used in the backend since commit 9a83564c5. Namely, that the private key can be owned by either the current user or root (with different file permissions allowed in the two cases). This allows system-wide management of key files, which is just as sensible on the client side as the server, particularly when the client is itself some application daemon. Sync the comments about this between libpq and the backend, too. Back-patch of a59c79564 and 50f03473e into all supported branches.

2022-02-25Disallow execution of SPI functions during plperl function compilation.Tom Lane
Perl can be convinced to execute user-defined code during compilation of a plperl function (or at least a plperlu function). That's not such a big problem as long as the activity is confined within the Perl interpreter, and it's not clear we could do anything about that anyway. However, if such code tries to use plperl's SPI functions, we have a bigger problem. In the first place, those functions are likely to crash because current_call_data->prodesc isn't set up yet. In the second place, because it isn't set up, we lack critical info such as whether the function is supposed to be read-only. And in the third place, this path allows code execution during function validation, which is strongly discouraged because of the potential for security exploits. Hence, reject execution of the SPI functions until compilation is finished. While here, add check_spi_usage_allowed() calls to various functions that hadn't gotten the memo about checking that. I think that perhaps plperl_sv_to_literal may have been intentionally omitted on the grounds that it was safe at the time; but if so, the addition of transforms functionality changed that. The others are more recently added and seem to be flat-out oversights. Per report from Mark Murawski. Back-patch to all supported branches.

2022-02-21Fix temporary object cleanup failing due to toast access without snapshot.Andres Freund
When cleaning up temporary objects during process exit the cleanup could fail with: FATAL: cannot fetch toast data without an active snapshot The bug is caused by RemoveTempRelationsCallback() not setting up a snapshot. If an object with toasted catalog data needs to be cleaned up, init_toast_snapshot() could fail with the above error. Most of the time however the the problem is masked due to cached catalog snapshots being returned by GetOldestSnapshot(). But dropping an object can cause catalog invalidations to be emitted. If no further catalog accesses are necessary between the invalidation processing and the next toast datum deletion, the bug becomes visible. It's easy to miss this bug because it typically happens after clients disconnect and the FATAL error just ends up in the log. Luckily temporary table cleanup at the next use of the same temporary schema or during DISCARD ALL does not have the same problem. Fix the bug by pushing a snapshot in RemoveTempRelationsCallback(). Also add isolation tests for temporary object cleanup, including objects with toasted catalog data. A future HEAD only commit will add more assertions.
