2016-09-27Include <sys/select.h> where neededAlvaro Herrera
<sys/select.h> is required by POSIX.1-2001 to get the prototype of select(2), but nearly no systems enforce that because older standards let you get away with including some other headers. Recent OpenBSD hacking has removed that frail touch of friendliness, however, which broke some compiles; fix all the way back to 9.1 by adding the required standard. Only vacuumdb.c was reported to fail, but it seems easier to fix the whole lot in a fell swoop. Per bug #14334 by Sean Farrell.

Evidently an oversight in commit 729205571. Back-patch to 9.2 where privileges for types were introduced. Report: <20160922173517.8214.88959@wrigleys.postgresql.org>
2016-09-23Install TAP test infrastructure so it's available for extension testing.Tom Lane
When configured with --enable-tap-tests, "make install" will now install the Perl support files for TAP testing where PGXS will find them. This allows extensions to rely on $(prove_check) even when being built out-of-tree. Back-patch to 9.4 where we first started to support TAP testing, to reduce the number of cases extension makefiles need to consider.

2016-09-23Doc: fix examples of # operators so they actually work.Tom Lane
These worked as-is until around 7.0, but fail in newer versions because there are more operators named "#". Besides it's a bit inconsistent that only two of the examples on this page lack type names on their constants. Report: <20160923081530.1517.75670@wrigleys.postgresql.org>
2016-09-23Fix incorrect logic for excluding range constructor functions in pg_dump.Tom Lane
Faulty AND/OR nesting in the WHERE clause of getFuncs' SQL query led to dumping range constructor functions if they are part of an extension and we're in binary-upgrade mode. Actually, we don't want to dump them separately even then, since CREATE TYPE AS RANGE will create the range's constructor functions regardless. Per report from Andrew Dunstan. It looks like this mistake was introduced by me, in commit b985d4877, in perhaps-overzealous refactoring to reduce code duplication. I'm suitably embarrassed.

2016-09-23Don't trust CreateFileMapping() to clear the error code on success.Tom Lane
We must test GetLastError() even when CreateFileMapping() returns a non-null handle. If that value were left over from some previous system call, we might be fooled into thinking the segment already existed. Experimentation on Windows 7 suggests that CreateFileMapping() clears the error code on success, but it is not documented to do so, so let's not rely on that happening in all Windows releases.

2016-09-23Avoid using PostmasterRandom() for DSM control segment ID.Tom Lane
Commits 470d886c3 et al intended to fix the problem that the postmaster selected the same "random" DSM control segment ID on every start. But using PostmasterRandom() for that destroys the intended property that the delay between random_start_time and random_stop_time will be unpredictable. (Said delay is probably already more predictable than we could wish, but that doesn't mean that reducing it by a couple orders of magnitude is OK.) Revert the previous patch and add a comment warning against misuse of PostmasterRandom. Fix the original problem by calling srandom() early in PostmasterMain, using a low-security seed that will later be overwritten by PostmasterRandom. Discussion: <20789.1474390434@sss.pgh.pa.us>
2016-09-22Be sure to rewind the tuplestore read pointer in non-leader CTEScan nodes.Tom Lane
ExecInitCteScan supposed that it didn't have to do anything to the extra tuplestore read pointer it gets from tuplestore_alloc_read_pointer. However, it needs this read pointer to be positioned at the start of the tuplestore, while tuplestore_alloc_read_pointer is actually defined as cloning the current position of read pointer 0. In normal situations that accidentally works because we initialize the whole plan tree at once, before anything gets read. But it fails in an EvalPlanQual recheck, as illustrated in bug #14328 from Dima Pavlov. To fix, just forcibly rewind the pointer after tuplestore_alloc_read_pointer. The cost of doing so is negligible unless the tuplestore is already in TSS_READFILE state, which wouldn't happen in normal cases. We could consider altering tuplestore's API to make that case cheaper, but that would make for a more invasive back-patch and it doesn't seem worth it. This has been broken probably for as long as we've had CTEs, so back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: <32468.1474548308@sss.pgh.pa.us>

2016-09-20Retry DSM control segment creation if Windows indicates access denied.Robert Haas
Otherwise, attempts to run multiple postmasters running on the same machine may fail, because Windows sometimes returns ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED rather than ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS when there is an existing segment. Hitting this bug is much more likely because of another defect not fixed by this patch, namely that dsm_postmaster_startup() uses random() which returns the same value every time. But that's not a reason not to fix this. Kyotaro Horiguchi and Amit Kapila, reviewed by Michael Paquier Discussion: <CAA4eK1JyNdMeF-dgrpHozDecpDfsRZUtpCi+1AbtuEkfG3YooQ@mail.gmail.com>

2016-09-10Improve unreachability recognition in elog() macro.Tom Lane
Some experimentation with an older version of gcc showed that it is able to determine whether "if (elevel_ >= ERROR)" is compile-time constant if elevel_ is declared "const", but otherwise not so much. We had accounted for that in ereport() but were too miserly with braces to make it so in elog(). I don't know how many currently-interesting compilers have the same quirk, but in case it will save some code space, let's make sure that elog() is on the same footing as ereport() for this purpose. Back-patch to 9.3 where we introduced pg_unreachable() calls into elog/ereport.
2016-09-10Fix miserable coding in pg_stat_get_activity().Tom Lane
Commit dd1a3bccc replaced a test on whether a subroutine returned a null pointer with a test on whether &pointer->backendStatus was null. This accidentally failed to fail, at least on common compilers, because backendStatus is the first field in the struct; but it was surely trouble waiting to happen. Commit f91feba87 then messed things up further, changing the logic to local_beentry = pgstat_fetch_stat_local_beentry(curr_backend); if (!local_beentry) continue; beentry = &local_beentry->backendStatus; if (!beentry) { where the second "if" is now dead code, so that the intended behavior of printing a row with "<backend information not available>" cannot occur. I suspect this is all moot because pgstat_fetch_stat_local_beentry will never actually return null in this function's usage, but it's still very poor coding. Repair back to 9.4 where the original problem was introduced.
2016-09-09Fix locking a tuple updated by an aborted (sub)transactionAlvaro Herrera
When heap_lock_tuple decides to follow the update chain, it tried to also lock any version of the tuple that was created by an update that was subsequently rolled back. This is pointless, since for all intents and purposes that tuple exists no more; and moreover it causes misbehavior, as reported independently by Marko Tiikkaja and Marti Raudsepp: some SELECT FOR UPDATE/SHARE queries may fail to return the tuples, and assertion-enabled builds crash. Fix by having heap_lock_updated_tuple test the xmin and return success immediately if the tuple was created by an aborted transaction. The condition where tuples become invisible occurs when an updated tuple chain is followed by heap_lock_updated_tuple, which reports the problem as HeapTupleSelfUpdated to its caller heap_lock_tuple, which in turn propagates that code outwards possibly leading the calling code (ExecLockRows) to believe that the tuple exists no longer. Backpatch to 9.3. Only on 9.5 and newer this leads to a visible failure, because of commit 27846f02c176; before that, heap_lock_tuple skips the whole dance when the tuple is already locked by the same transaction, because of the ancient HeapTupleSatisfiesUpdate behavior. Still, the buggy condition may also exist in more convoluted scenarios involving concurrent transactions, so it seems safer to fix the bug in the old branches too.

2016-09-08Fix mdtruncate() to close fd.c handle of deleted segments.Andres Freund
mdtruncate() forgot to FileClose() a segment's mdfd_vfd, when deleting it. That lead to a fd.c handle to a truncated file being kept open until backend exit. The issue appears to have been introduced way back in 1a5c450f3024ac5, before that the handle was closed inside FileUnlink(). The impact of this bug is limited - only VACUUM and ON COMMIT TRUNCATE for temporary tables, truncate files in place (i.e. TRUNCATE itself is not affected), and the relation has to be bigger than 1GB. The consequences of a leaked fd.c handle aren't severe either. Discussion: <20160908220748.oqh37ukwqqncbl3n@alap3.anarazel.de> Backpatch: all supported releases

2016-09-04Add regression test coverage for non-default timezone abbreviation sets.Tom Lane
After further reflection about the mess cleaned up in commit 39b691f25, I decided the main bit of test coverage that was still missing was to check that the non-default abbreviation-set files we supply are usable. Add that. Back-patch to supported branches, just because it seems like a good idea to keep this all in sync.
2016-09-04Remove vestigial references to "zic" in favor of "IANA database".Tom Lane
Commit b2cbced9e instituted a policy of referring to the timezone database as the "IANA timezone database" in our user-facing documentation. Propagate that wording into a couple of places that were still using "zic" to refer to the database, which is definitely not right (zic is the compilation tool, not the data). Back-patch, not because this is very important in itself, but because we routinely cherry-pick updates to the tznames files and I don't want to risk future merge failures.
2016-09-03Fix corrupt GIN_SEGMENT_ADDITEMS WAL records on big-endian hardware.Tom Lane
computeLeafRecompressWALData() tried to produce a uint16 WAL log field by memcpy'ing the first two bytes of an int-sized variable. That accidentally works on little-endian hardware, but not at all on big-endian. Replay then thinks it's looking at an ADDITEMS action with zero entries, and reads the first two bytes of the first TID therein as the next segno/action, typically leading to "unexpected GIN leaf action" errors during replay. Even if replay failed to crash, the resulting GIN index page would surely be incorrect. To fix, just declare the variable as uint16 instead. Per bug #14295 from Spencer Thomason (much thanks to Spencer for turning his problem into a self-contained test case). This likely also explains a previous report of the same symptom from Bernd Helmle. Back-patch to 9.4 where the problem was introduced (by commit 14d02f0bb).

2016-09-02Don't require dynamic timezone abbreviations to match underlying time zone.Tom Lane
Previously, we threw an error if a dynamic timezone abbreviation did not match any abbreviation recorded in the referenced IANA time zone entry. That seemed like a good consistency check at the time, but it turns out that a number of the abbreviations in the IANA database are things that Olson and crew made up out of whole cloth. Their current policy is to remove such names in favor of using simple numeric offsets. Perhaps unsurprisingly, a lot of these made-up abbreviations have varied in meaning over time, which meant that our commit b2cbced9e and later changes made them into dynamic abbreviations. So with newer IANA database versions that don't mention these abbreviations at all, we fail, as reported in bug #14307 from Neil Anderson. It's worse than just a few unused-in-the-wild abbreviations not working, because the pg_timezone_abbrevs view stops working altogether (since its underlying function tries to compute the whole view result in one call). We considered deleting these abbreviations from our abbreviations list, but the problem with that is that we can't stay ahead of possible future IANA changes. Instead, let's leave the abbreviations list alone, and treat any "orphaned" dynamic abbreviation as just meaning the referenced time zone. It will behave a bit differently than it used to, in that you can't any longer override the zone's standard vs. daylight rule by using the "wrong" abbreviation of a pair, but that's better than failing entirely. (Also, this solution can be interpreted as adding a small new feature, which is that any abbreviation a user wants can be defined as referencing a time zone name.) Back-patch to all supported branches, since this problem affects all of them when using tzdata 2016f or newer.

2016-09-01Fix minor 9.4-only bug in logical decoding.Tom Lane
The 9.4 version of log_heap_update() stores the full length of the old_key_tuple in xlhdr.t_len, rather than the length less offsetof(HeapTupleHeaderData, t_bits) as is customary elsewhere. DecodeUpdate() was expecting the usual definition, which caused it to copy 23 bytes too much out of the WAL-file buffer. Most of the time that's harmless, although Valgrind on buildfarm member skink has been complaining about it, and there was one actual SIGSEGV on curculio that might have been caused by this. The reconstructed key tuple would also have an over-length t_len, though offhand I do not see how that could cause any visible problem. The problem seems to have disappeared in the 9.5 WAL format changes (commit 2c03216d8), so we only need to fix 9.4. Discussion: <11035.1469058247@sss.pgh.pa.us>
2016-08-31Prevent starting a standalone backend with standby_mode on.Tom Lane
This can't really work because standby_mode expects there to be more WAL arriving, which there will not ever be because there's no WAL receiver process to fetch it. Moreover, if standby_mode is on then hot standby might also be turned on, causing even more strangeness because that expects read-only sessions to be executing in parallel. Bernd Helmle reported a case where btree_xlog_delete_get_latestRemovedXid got confused, but rather than band-aiding individual problems it seems best to prevent getting anywhere near this state in the first place. Back-patch to all supported branches. In passing, also fix some omissions of errcodes in other ereport's in readRecoveryCommandFile().

2016-08-29Fix pg_xlogdump so that it handles cross-page XLP_FIRST_IS_CONTRECORD record.Fujii Masao
Previously pg_xlogdump failed to dump the contents of the WAL file if the file starts with the continuation WAL record which spans more than one pages. Since pg_xlogdump assumed that the continuation record always fits on a page, it could not find the valid WAL record to start reading from in that case. This patch changes pg_xlogdump so that it can handle a continuation WAL record which crosses a page boundary and find the valid record to start reading from. Back-patch to 9.3 where pg_xlogdump was introduced. Author: Pavan Deolasee Reviewed-By: Michael Paquier and Craig Ringer Discussion: CABOikdPsPByMiG6J01DKq6om2+BNkxHTPkOyqHM2a4oYwGKsqQ@mail.gmail.com
2016-08-25Fix instability in parallel regression tests.Tom Lane
Commit f0c7b789a added a test case in case.sql that creates and then drops both an '=' operator and the type it's for. Given the right timing, that can cause a "cache lookup failed for type" failure in concurrent sessions, which see the '=' operator as a potential match for '=' in a query, but then the type is gone by the time they inquire into its properties. It might be nice to make that behavior more robust someday, but as a back-patchable solution, adjust the new test case so that the operator is never visible to other sessions. Like the previous commit, back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: <5983.1471371667@sss.pgh.pa.us>
2016-08-24Fix small query-lifespan memory leak in bulk updates.Tom Lane
When there is an identifiable REPLICA IDENTITY index on the target table, heap_update leaks the id_attrs bitmapset. That's not many bytes, but it adds up over enough rows, since the code typically runs in a query-lifespan context. Bug introduced in commit e55704d8b, which did a rather poor job of cloning the existing use-pattern for RelationGetIndexAttrBitmap(). Per bug #14293 from Zhou Digoal.

2016-08-24Fix improper repetition of previous results from a hashed aggregate.Tom Lane
ExecReScanAgg's check for whether it could re-use a previously calculated hashtable neglected the possibility that the Agg node might reference PARAM_EXEC Params that are not referenced by its input plan node. That's okay if the Params are in upper tlist or qual expressions; but if one appears in aggregate input expressions, then the hashtable contents need to be recomputed when the Param's value changes. To avoid unnecessary performance degradation in the case of a Param that isn't within an aggregate input, add logic to the planner to determine which Params are within aggregate inputs. This requires a new field in struct Agg, but fortunately we never write plans to disk, so this isn't an initdb-forcing change. Per report from Jeevan Chalke. This has been broken since forever, so back-patch to all supported branches. Andrew Gierth, with minor adjustments by me Report: <CAM2+6=VY8ykfLT5Q8vb9B6EbeBk-NGuLbT6seaQ+Fq4zXvrDcA@mail.gmail.com>

2016-08-16Fix assorted places in psql to print version numbers >= 10 in new style.Tom Lane
This is somewhat cosmetic, since as long as you know what you are looking at, "10.0" is a serviceable substitute for "10". But there is a potential for confusion between version numbers with minor numbers and those without --- we don't want people asking "why is psql saying 10.0 when my server is 10.2". Therefore, back-patch as far as practical, which turns out to be 9.3. I could have redone the patch to use fprintf(stderr) in place of psql_error(), but it seems more work than is warranted for branches that will be EOL or nearly so by the time v10 comes out. Although only psql seems to contain any code that needs this, I chose to put the support function into fe_utils, since it seems likely we'll need it in other client programs in future. (In 9.3-9.5, use dumputils.c, the predecessor of fe_utils/string_utils.c.) In HEAD, also fix the backend code that whines about loadable-library version mismatch. I don't see much need to back-patch that.
2016-08-14Remove bogus dependencies on NUMERIC_MAX_PRECISION.Tom Lane
NUMERIC_MAX_PRECISION is a purely arbitrary constraint on the precision and scale you can write in a numeric typmod. It might once have had something to do with the allowed range of a typmod-less numeric value, but at least since 9.1 we've allowed, and documented that we allowed, any value that would physically fit in the numeric storage format; which is something over 100000 decimal digits, not 1000. Hence, get rid of numeric_in()'s use of NUMERIC_MAX_PRECISION as a limit on the allowed range of the exponent in scientific-format input. That was especially silly in view of the fact that you can enter larger numbers as long as you don't use 'e' to do it. Just constrain the value enough to avoid localized overflow, and let make_result be the final arbiter of what is too large. Likewise adjust ecpg's equivalent of this code. Also get rid of numeric_recv()'s use of NUMERIC_MAX_PRECISION to limit the number of base-NBASE digits it would accept. That created a dump/restore hazard for binary COPY without doing anything useful; the wire-format limit on number of digits (65535) is about as tight as we would want. In HEAD, also get rid of pg_size_bytes()'s unnecessary intimacy with what the numeric range limit is. That code doesn't exist in the back branches. Per gripe from Aravind Kumar. Back-patch to all supported branches, since they all contain the documentation claim about allowed range of NUMERIC (cf commit cabf5d84b). Discussion: <2895.1471195721@sss.pgh.pa.us>
2016-08-12Fix inappropriate printing of never-measured times in EXPLAIN.Tom Lane
EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, TIMING OFF) would print an elapsed time of zero for a trigger function, because no measurement has been taken but it printed the field anyway. This isn't what EXPLAIN does elsewhere, so suppress it.

2016-08-08Fix several one-byte buffer over-reads in to_numberPeter Eisentraut
Several places in NUM_numpart_from_char(), which is called from the SQL function to_number(text, text), could accidentally read one byte past the end of the input buffer (which comes from the input text datum and is not null-terminated). 1. One leading space character would be skipped, but there was no check that the input was at least one byte long. This does not happen in practice, but for defensiveness, add a check anyway. 2. Commit 4a3a1e2cf apparently accidentally doubled that code that skips one space character (so that two spaces might be skipped), but there was no overflow check before skipping the second byte. Fix by removing that duplicate code. 3. A logic error would allow a one-byte over-read when looking for a trailing sign (S) placeholder. In each case, the extra byte cannot be read out directly, but looking at it might cause a crash.
