2015-07-24Fix bug around assignment expressions containing indirections.Andres Freund
Handling of assigned-to expressions with indirection (e.g. set f1[1] = 3) was broken for ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE. The problem was that ParseState was consulted to determine if an INSERT-appropriate or UPDATE-appropriate behavior should be used when transforming expressions with indirections. When the wrong path was taken the old row was substituted with NULL, leading to wrong results.. To fix remove p_is_update and only use p_is_insert to decide how to transform the assignment expression, and uset p_is_insert while parsing the on conflict statement. This isn't particularly pretty, but it's not any worse than before. Author: Peter Geoghegan, slightly edited by me Discussion: CAM3SWZS8RPvA=KFxADZWw3wAHnnbxMxDzkEC6fNaFc7zSm411w@mail.gmail.com Backpatch: 9.5, where the feature was introduced
2015-07-23Redirect install output of make check into a log fileAndrew Dunstan
dbf2ec1a changed make check so that the installation logs get directed to stdout and stderr. Per discussion on -hackers, this patch restores saving it to a file. It is now saved in /tmp_install/log, which is created once per invocation of any make target doing regression tests. Along the way, add a missing /log/ entry to test_ddl_deparse's .gitignore. Michael Paquier.
2015-07-23Fix off-by-one error in calculating subtrans/multixact truncation point.Heikki Linnakangas
If there were no subtransactions (or multixacts) active, we would calculate the oldestxid == next xid. That's correct, but if next XID happens to be on the next pg_subtrans (pg_multixact) page, the page does not exist yet, and SimpleLruTruncate will produce an "apparent wraparound" warning. The warning is harmless in this case, but looks very alarming to users. Backpatch to all supported versions. Patch and analysis by Thomas Munro.
2015-07-21Fix add_rte_to_flat_rtable() for recent feature additions.Tom Lane
The TABLESAMPLE and row security patches each overlooked this function, though their errors of omission were opposite: RLS failed to zero out the securityQuals field, leading to wasteful copying of useless expression trees in finished plans, while TABLESAMPLE neglected to add a comment saying that it intentionally *isn't* deleting the tablesample subtree. There probably should be a similar comment about ctename, too. Back-patch as appropriate.
2015-07-21Fix some oversights in BRIN patch.Tom Lane
Remove HeapScanDescData.rs_initblock, which wasn't being used for anything in the final version of the patch. Fix IndexBuildHeapScan so that it supports syncscan again; the patch broke synchronous scanning for index builds by forcing rs_startblk to zero even when the caller did not care about that and had asked for syncscan. Add some commentary and usage defenses to heap_setscanlimits(). Fix heapam so that asking for rs_numblocks == 0 does what you would reasonably expect. As coded it amounted to requesting a whole-table scan, because those "--x <= 0" tests on an unsigned variable would behave surprisingly.
2015-07-21Fix location of output logs of pg_regressAndrew Dunstan
initdb.log and postmaster.log were moved to within the temporary instance path by commit dcae5fa. This directory now gets removed at the end of the run of pg_regress when there are no failures found, which makes analysis of after-run issues difficult in some cases, and reduces the output verbosity of the buildfarm after a run. Fix by Michael Paquier Backpatch to 9.5
2015-07-21Fix omission of OCLASS_TRANSFORM in object_classes[]Alvaro Herrera
This was forgotten in cac76582053e (and its fixup ad89a5d115). Since it seems way too easy to miss this, this commit also introduces a mechanism to enforce that the array is consistent with the enum. Problem reported independently by Robert Haas and Jaimin Pan. Patches proposed by Jaimin Pan, Jim Nasby, Michael Paquier and myself, though I didn't use any of these and instead went with a cleaner approach suggested by Tom Lane. Backpatch to 9.5.

2015-07-20Sanity-check that a page zeroed by redo routine is marked with WILL_INIT.Heikki Linnakangas
There was already a sanity-check in the other direction: if a page was marked with WILL_INIT, it had to be initialized by the redo routine. It's not strictly necessary for correctness that a page is marked with WILL_INIT if it's going to be initialized at redo, but it's a missed optimization if nothing else. Fix a few instances of this issue in SP-GiST, where a block in WAL record was not marked with WILL_INIT, but was in fact always initialized at redo. We were creating a full-page image of the page unnecessarily in those cases. Backpatch to 9.5, where the new WILL_INIT flag was added.
2015-07-20Don't handle PUBLIC/NONE separatelyAlvaro Herrera
Since those role specifiers are checked in the grammar, there's no need for the old checks to remain in place after 31eae6028ec. Remove them. Backpatch to 9.5. Noted and patch by Jeevan Chalke
2015-07-20Improve tab-completion for DROP POLICYAlvaro Herrera
Backpatch to 9.5. Author: Pavel Stěhule
2015-07-20Fix (some of) pltcl memory usageAlvaro Herrera
As reported by Bill Parker, PL/Tcl did not validate some malloc() calls against NULL return. Fix by using palloc() in a new long-lived memory context instead. This allows us to simplify error handling too, by simply deleting the memory context instead of doing retail frees. There's still a lot that could be done to improve PL/Tcl's memory handling ... This is pretty ancient, so backpatch all the way back.

2015-07-20Improve BRIN documentation somewhatAlvaro Herrera
This removes some info about support procedures being used, which was obsoleted by commit db5f98ab4f, as well as add some more documentation on how to create new opclasses using the Minmax infrastructure. (Hopefully we can get something similar for Inclusion as well.) In passing, fix some obsolete mentions of "mmtuples" in source code comments. Backpatch to 9.5, where BRIN was introduced.
2015-07-20Fix mis-merge in previous commitAlvaro Herrera
2015-07-20Add some comments to test_ddl_deparse and a READMEAlvaro Herrera
Per comments from Heikki Linnakangas. Backpatch to 9.5, where this module was introduced.
2015-07-20Handle AT_ReAddComment in test_ddl_deparse, and add a catch-all default.Heikki Linnakangas
In the passing, also move AT_ReAddComment to more logical position in the enum, after all the Constraint-related subcommands. This fixes a compiler warning, added by commit e42375fc. Backpatch to 9.5, like that patch.
2015-07-19Remove dead code.Andrew Dunstan
Defect noticed by Coverity.
2015-07-18Make WaitLatchOrSocket's timeout detection more robust.Tom Lane
In the previous coding, timeout would be noticed and reported only when poll() or socket() returned zero (or the equivalent behavior on Windows). Ordinarily that should work well enough, but it seems conceivable that we could get into a state where poll() always returns a nonzero value --- for example, if it is noticing a condition on one of the file descriptors that we do not think is reason to exit the loop. If that happened, we'd be in a busy-wait loop that would fail to terminate even when the timeout expires. We can make this more robust at essentially no cost, by deciding to exit of our own accord if we compute a zero or negative time-remaining-to-wait. Previously the code noted this but just clamped the time-remaining to zero, expecting that we'd detect timeout on the next loop iteration. Back-patch to 9.2. While 9.1 had a version of WaitLatchOrSocket, it was primitive compared to later versions, and did not guarantee reliable detection of timeouts anyway. (Essentially, this is a refinement of commit 3e7fdcffd6f77187, which was back-patched only as far as 9.2.)
2015-07-18Enable transforms modules to build and test on Cygwin.Andrew Dunstan
This still doesn't work correctly with Python 3, but I am committing this so we can get Cygwin buildfarm members building with Python 2.
2015-07-17Release note compatibility itemAndrew Dunstan
Note that json and jsonb extraction operators no longer consider a negative subscript to be invalid.
2015-07-17Support JSON negative array subscripts everywhereAndrew Dunstan
Previously, there was an inconsistency across json/jsonb operators that operate on datums containing JSON arrays -- only some operators supported negative array count-from-the-end subscripting. Specifically, only a new-to-9.5 jsonb deletion operator had support (the new "jsonb - integer" operator). This inconsistency seemed likely to be counter-intuitive to users. To fix, allow all places where the user can supply an integer subscript to accept a negative subscript value, including path-orientated operators and functions, as well as other extraction operators. This will need to be called out as an incompatibility in the 9.5 release notes, since it's possible that users are relying on certain established extraction operators changed here yielding NULL in the event of a negative subscript. For the json type, this requires adding a way of cheaply getting the total JSON array element count ahead of time when parsing arrays with a negative subscript involved, necessitating an ad-hoc lex and parse. This is followed by a "conversion" from a negative subscript to its equivalent positive-wise value using the count. From there on, it's as if a positive-wise value was originally provided. Note that there is still a minor inconsistency here across jsonb deletion operators. Unlike the aforementioned new "-" deletion operator that accepts an integer on its right hand side, the new "#-" path orientated deletion variant does not throw an error when it appears like an array subscript (input that could be recognized by as an integer literal) is being used on an object, which is wrong-headed. The reason for not being stricter is that it could be the case that an object pair happens to have a key value that looks like an integer; in general, these two possibilities are impossible to differentiate with rhs path text[] argument elements. However, we still don't allow the "#-" path-orientated deletion operator to perform array-style subscripting. Rather, we just return the original left operand value in the event of a negative subscript (which seems analogous to how the established "jsonb/json #> text[]" path-orientated operator may yield NULL in the event of an invalid subscript). In passing, make SetArrayPath() stricter about not accepting cases where there is trailing non-numeric garbage bytes rather than a clean NUL byte. This means, for example, that strings like "10e10" are now not accepted as an array subscript of 10 by some new-to-9.5 path-orientated jsonb operators (e.g. the new #- operator). Finally, remove dead code for jsonb subscript deletion; arguably, this should have been done in commit b81c7b409. Peter Geoghegan and Andrew Dunstan
2015-07-17Repair mishandling of cached cast-expression trees in plpgsql.Tom Lane
In commit 1345cc67bbb014209714af32b5681b1e11eaf964, I introduced caching of expressions representing type-cast operations into plpgsql. However, I supposed that I could cache both the expression trees and the evaluation state trees derived from them for the life of the session. This doesn't work, because we execute the expressions in plpgsql's simple_eval_estate, which has an ecxt_per_query_memory that is only transaction-lifespan. Therefore we can end up putting pointers into the evaluation state tree that point to transaction-lifespan memory; in particular this happens if the cast expression calls a SQL-language function, as reported by Geoff Winkless. The minimum-risk fix seems to be to treat the state trees the same way we do for "simple expression" trees in plpgsql, ie create them in the simple_eval_estate's ecxt_per_query_memory, which means recreating them once per transaction. Since I had to introduce bookkeeping overhead for that anyway, I bought back some of the added cost by sharing the read-only expression trees across all functions in the session, instead of using a per-function table as originally. The simple-expression bookkeeping takes care of the recursive-usage risk that I was concerned about avoiding before. At some point we should take a harder look at how all this works, and see if we can't reduce the amount of tree reinitialization needed. But that won't happen for 9.5.
2015-07-17AIX: Test the -qlonglong option before use.Noah Misch
xlc provides "long long" unconditionally at C99-compatible language levels, and this option provokes a warning. The warning interferes with "configure" tests that fail in response to any warning. Notably, before commit 85a2a8903f7e9151793308d0638621003aded5ae, it interfered with the test for -qnoansialias. Back-patch to 9.0 (all supported versions).
2015-07-16Fix a low-probability crash in our qsort implementation.Tom Lane
It's standard for quicksort implementations, after having partitioned the input into two subgroups, to recurse to process the smaller partition and then handle the larger partition by iterating. This method guarantees that no more than log2(N) levels of recursion can be needed. However, Bentley and McIlroy argued that checking to see which partition is smaller isn't worth the cycles, and so their code doesn't do that but just always recurses on the left partition. In most cases that's fine; but with worst-case input we might need O(N) levels of recursion, and that means that qsort could be driven to stack overflow. Such an overflow seems to be the only explanation for today's report from Yiqing Jin of a SIGSEGV in med3_tuple while creating an index of a couple billion entries with a very large maintenance_work_mem setting. Therefore, let's spend the few additional cycles and lines of code needed to choose the smaller partition for recursion. Also, fix up the qsort code so that it properly uses size_t not int for some intermediate values representing numbers of items. This would only be a live risk when sorting more than INT_MAX bytes (in qsort/qsort_arg) or tuples (in qsort_tuple), which I believe would never happen with any caller in the current core code --- but perhaps it could happen with call sites in third-party modules? In any case, this is trouble waiting to happen, and the corrected code is probably if anything shorter and faster than before, since it removes sign-extension steps that had to happen when converting between int and size_t. In passing, move a couple of CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() calls so that it's not necessary to preserve the value of "r" across them, and prettify the output of gen_qsort_tuple.pl a little. Back-patch to all supported branches. The odds of hitting this issue are probably higher in 9.4 and up than before, due to the new ability to allocate sort workspaces exceeding 1GB, but there's no good reason to believe that it's impossible to crash older branches this way.

2015-07-15AIX: Link TRANSFORM modules with their dependencies.Noah Misch
The result closely resembles linking of these modules for the "win32" port. Augment the $(exports_file) header so the file is also usable as an import file. Unfortunately, relocating an AIX installation will now require adding $(pkglibdir) to LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Back-patch to 9.5, where the modules were introduced.
2015-07-15AIX: Link the postgres executable with -Wl,-brtllib.Noah Misch
This allows PostgreSQL modules and their dependencies to have undefined symbols, resolved at runtime. Perl module shared objects rely on that in Perl 5.8.0 and later. This fixes the crash when PL/PerlU loads such modules, as the hstore_plperl test suite does. Module authors can link using -Wl,-G to permit undefined symbols; by default, linking will fail as it has. Back-patch to 9.0 (all supported versions).
2015-07-15MinGW: Link ltree_plpython with plpython.Noah Misch
The MSVC build system already did this, and building against Python 3 requires it. Back-patch to 9.5, where the module was introduced.

Test does not match the comment which precedes it. Peter Geoghegan
2015-07-14Prevent pgstattuple() from reporting BRIN as unknown index.Fujii Masao
Also this patch removes obsolete comment. Back-patch to 9.5 where BRIN index was added.
2015-07-14Make regression test output stable.Heikki Linnakangas
In the test query I added for ALTER TABLE retaining comments, the order of the result rows was not stable, and varied across systems. Add an ORDER BY to make the order predictable. This should fix the buildfarm failures.
2015-07-14Retain comments on indexes and constraints at ALTER TABLE ... TYPE ...Heikki Linnakangas
When a column's datatype is changed, ATExecAlterColumnType() rebuilds all the affected indexes and constraints, and the comments from the old indexes/constraints were not carried over. To fix, create a synthetic COMMENT ON command in the work queue, to re-add any comments on constraints. For indexes, there's a comment field in IndexStmt that is used. This fixes bug #13126, reported by Kirill Simonov. Original patch by Michael Paquier, reviewed by Petr Jelinek and me. This bug is present in all versions, but only backpatch to 9.5. Given how minor the issue is, it doesn't seem worth the work and risk to backpatch further than that.
2015-07-14Reformat code in ATPostAlterTypeParse.Heikki Linnakangas
The code in ATPostAlterTypeParse was very deeply indented, mostly because there were two nested switch-case statements, which add a lot of indentation. Use if-else blocks instead, to make the code less indented and more readable. This is in preparation for next patch that makes some actualy changes to the function. These cosmetic parts have been separated to make it easier to see the real changes in the other patch.

2015-07-12Fix assorted memory leaks.Tom Lane
Per Coverity (not that any of these are so non-obvious that they should not have been caught before commit). The extent of leakage is probably minor to unnoticeable, but a leak is a leak. Back-patch as necessary. Michael Paquier
2015-07-12For consistency add a pfree to ON CONFLICT set_plan_refs code.Andres Freund
Backpatch to 9.5 where ON CONFLICT was introduced. Author: Peter Geoghegan
2015-07-12Optionally don't error out due to preexisting slots in commandline utilities.Andres Freund
pg_receivexlog and pg_recvlogical error out when --create-slot is specified and a slot with the same name already exists. In some cases, especially with pg_receivexlog, that's rather annoying and requires additional scripting. Backpatch to 9.5 as slot control functions have newly been added to pg_receivexlog, and there doesn't seem much point leaving it in a less useful state. Discussion: 20150619144755.GG29350@alap3.anarazel.de

2015-07-11Add assign_expr_collations() to CreatePolicy() and AlterPolicy().Joe Conway
As noted by Noah Misch, CreatePolicy() and AlterPolicy() omit to call assign_expr_collations() on the node trees. Fix the omission and add his test case to the rowsecurity regression test.
2015-07-10Copy-edit the docs changes of OWNER TO CURRENT/SESSION_USER additions.Heikki Linnakangas
Commit 31eae602 added new syntax to many DDL commands to use CURRENT_USER or SESSION_USER instead of role name in ALTER ... OWNER TO, but because of a misplaced '{', the syntax in the docs implied that the syntax was "ALTER ... CURRENT_USER", instead of "ALTER ... OWNER TO CURRENT_USER". Fix that, and also the funny indentation in some of the modified syntax blurps.
2015-07-09Improve documentation about array concat operator vs. underlying functions.Tom Lane
The documentation implied that there was seldom any reason to use the array_append, array_prepend, and array_cat functions directly. But that's not really true, because they can help make it clear which case is meant, which the || operator can't do since it's overloaded to represent all three cases. Add some discussion and examples illustrating the potentially confusing behavior that can ensue if the parser misinterprets what was meant. Per a complaint from Michael Herold. Back-patch to 9.2, which is where || started to behave this way.
2015-07-09Fix postmaster's handling of a startup-process crash.Tom Lane
Ordinarily, a failure (unexpected exit status) of the startup subprocess should be considered fatal, so the postmaster should just close up shop and quit. However, if we sent the startup process a SIGQUIT or SIGKILL signal, the failure is hardly "unexpected", and we should attempt restart; this is necessary for recovery from ordinary backend crashes in hot-standby scenarios. I attempted to implement the latter rule with a two-line patch in commit 442231d7f71764b8c628044e7ce2225f9aa43b67, but it now emerges that that patch was a few bricks shy of a load: it failed to distinguish the case of a signaled startup process from the case where the new startup process crashes before reaching database consistency. That resulted in infinitely respawning a new startup process only to have it crash again. To handle this properly, we really must track whether we have sent the *current* startup process a kill signal. Rather than add yet another ad-hoc boolean to the postmaster's state, I chose to unify this with the existing RecoveryError flag into an enum tracking the startup process's state. That seems more consistent with the postmaster's general state machine design. Back-patch to 9.0, like the previous patch.
2015-07-09Make wal_compression PGC_SUSET rather than PGC_USERSET.Fujii Masao
When enabling wal_compression, there is a risk to leak data similarly to the BREACH and CRIME attacks on SSL where the compression ratio of a full page image gives a hint of what is the existing data of this page. This vulnerability is quite cumbersome to exploit in practice, but doable. So this patch makes wal_compression PGC_SUSET in order to prevent non-superusers from enabling it and exploiting the vulnerability while DBA thinks the risk very seriously and disables it in postgresql.conf. Back-patch to 9.5 where wal_compression was introduced.
2015-07-09Fix another broken link in documentation.Heikki Linnakangas
Tom fixed another one of these in commit 7f32dbcd, but there was another almost identical one in libpq docs. Per his comment: HP's web server has apparently become case-sensitive sometime recently. Per bug #13479 from Daniel Abraham. Corrected link identified by Alvaro.
2015-07-09Revert changes to pthread configure tests on REL9_5_STABLE.Heikki Linnakangas
Some buildfarm animals are still unhappy. These changes are becoming too invasive for backpatch, for little benefit. This reverts commits 080c4dab3d9575449b81604051b160597cfd55c3 and ce0da6261004ac15f01c21d8b94f11af7a098243.
2015-07-08Link pg_stat_statements with libm.Noah Misch
The AIX 7.1 libm is static, and AIX postgres executables do not export symbols acquired from libraries. Back-patch to 9.5, where commit cfe12763c32437bc708a64ce88a90c7544f16185 added a sqrt() call.
2015-07-08Given a gcc-compatible xlc compiler, prefer xlc-style atomics.Noah Misch
This evades a ppc64le "IBM XL C/C++ for Linux" compiler bug. Back-patch to 9.5, where the atomics facility was introduced.
2015-07-08Finish generic-xlc.h draft atomics implementation.Noah Misch
Back-patch to 9.5, where commit b64d92f1a5602c55ee8b27a7ac474f03b7aee340 introduced this file.
