2024-12-07Fix is_digit labeling of to_timestamp's FFn format codes.Tom Lane
These format codes produce or consume strings of digits, so they should be labeled with is_digit = true, but they were not. This has effect in only one place, where is_next_separator() is checked to see if the preceding format code should slurp up all the available digits. Thus, with a format such as '...SSFF3' with remaining input '12345', the 'SS' code would consume all five digits (and then complain about seconds being out of range) when it should eat only two digits. Per report from Nick Davies. This bug goes back to d589f9446 where the FFn codes were introduced, so back-patch to v13. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/AM8PR08MB6356AC979252CFEA78B56678B6312@AM8PR08MB6356.eurprd08.prod.outlook.com
2024-11-29Fix MinGW %d vs %lu warnings in back branches.Thomas Munro
Commit 352f6f2d used %d instead of %lu to format DWORD (unsigned long) with psprintf(). The _WIN32_WINNT value recently changed for MinGW in REL_15_STABLE (commit d700e8d7), so the code was suddenly being compiled, with warnings from gcc. The warnings were already fixed in 16+ by commits 495ed0ef and a9bc04b2 after the _WIN32_WINNT value was increase there. 14 and 13 didn't warn because they still use a lower value for MinGW, and supported versions of Visual Studio should compile the code in all live branches but don't check our format string. The change doesn't affect the result: sizeof(int) == sizeof(long) on this platform, and the values are computed with expressions that cannot exceed INT_MAX so were never interpreted as negative. Back-patch the formatting change from those commits into 13-15. This should turn CI's 15 branch green again and stop fairywren from warning about that on 15.

2024-11-20Avoid assertion failure if a setop leaf query contains setops.Tom Lane
Ordinarily transformSetOperationTree will collect all UNION/ INTERSECT/EXCEPT steps into the setOperations tree of the topmost Query, so that leaf queries do not contain any setOperations. However, it cannot thus flatten a subquery that also contains WITH, ORDER BY, FOR UPDATE, or LIMIT. I (tgl) forgot that in commit 07b4c48b6 and wrote an assertion in rule deparsing that a leaf's setOperations would always be empty. If it were nonempty then we would want to parenthesize the subquery to ensure that the output represents the setop nesting correctly (e.g. UNION below INTERSECT had better get parenthesized). So rather than just removing the faulty Assert, let's change it into an additional case to check to decide whether to add parens. We don't expect that the additional case will ever fire, but it's cheap insurance. Man Zeng and Tom Lane Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/tencent_7ABF9B1F23B0C77606FC5FE3@qq.com
2024-09-15Replace usages of xmlXPathCompile() with xmlXPathCtxtCompile().Tom Lane
In existing releases of libxml2, xmlXPathCompile can be driven to stack overflow because it fails to protect itself against too-deeply-nested input. While there is an upstream fix as of yesterday, it will take years for that to propagate into all shipping versions. In the meantime, we can protect our own usages basically for free by calling xmlXPathCtxtCompile instead. (The actual bug is that libxml2 keeps its nesting counter in the xmlXPathContext, and its parsing code was willing to just skip counting nesting levels if it didn't have a context. So if we supply a context, all is well. It seems odd actually that it works at all to not supply a context, because this means that XPath parsing does not have access to XML namespace info. Apparently libxml2 never checks namespaces until runtime? Anyway, this seems like good future-proofing even if its only immediate effect is to dodge a bug.) Sadly, this hack only offers protection with libxml2 2.9.11 and newer. Before that there are multiple similar problems, so if you are processing untrusted XML it behooves you to get a newer version. But we have some pretty old libxml2 in the buildfarm, so it seems impractical to add a regression test to verify this fix. Per bug #18617 from Jingzhou Fu. Back-patch to all supported versions.

2024-08-11Suppress Coverity warnings about Asserts in get_name_for_var_field.Tom Lane
Coverity thinks dpns->plan could be null at these points. That shouldn't really be possible, but it's easy enough to modify the Asserts so they'd not core-dump if it were true. These are new in b919a97a6. Back-patch to v13; the v12 version of the patch didn't have these Asserts.
2024-08-09Fix "failed to find plan for subquery/CTE" errors in EXPLAIN.Tom Lane
To deparse a reference to a field of a RECORD-type output of a subquery, EXPLAIN normally digs down into the subquery's plan to try to discover exactly which anonymous RECORD type is meant. However, this can fail if the subquery has been optimized out of the plan altogether on the grounds that no rows could pass the WHERE quals, which has been possible at least since 3fc6e2d7f. There isn't anything remaining in the plan tree that would help us, so fall back to printing the field name as "fN" for the N'th column of the record. (This will actually be the right thing some of the time, since it matches the column names we assign to RowExprs.) In passing, fix a comment typo in create_projection_plan, which I noticed while experimenting with an alternative fix for this. Per bug #18576 from Vasya B. Back-patch to all supported branches.

2024-07-23Detect integer overflow in array_set_slice().Nathan Bossart
When provided an empty initial array, array_set_slice() fails to check for overflow when computing the new array's dimensions. While such overflows are ordinarily caught by ArrayGetNItems(), commands with the following form are accepted: INSERT INTO t (i[-2147483648:2147483647]) VALUES ('{}'); To fix, perform the hazardous computations using overflow-detecting arithmetic routines. As with commit 18b585155a, the added test cases generate errors that include a platform-dependent value, so we again use psql's VERBOSITY parameter to suppress printing the message text.

2024-07-10Make our back branches compatible with libxml2 2.13.x.Tom Lane
This back-patches HEAD commits 066e8ac6e, 6082b3d5d, e7192486d, and 896cd266f into supported branches. Changes: * Use xmlAddChildList not xmlAddChild in XMLSERIALIZE (affects v16 and up only). This was a flat-out coding mistake that we got away with due to lax checking in previous versions of xmlAddChild. * Use xmlParseInNodeContext not xmlParseBalancedChunkMemory. This is to dodge a bug in xmlParseBalancedChunkMemory in libxm2 releases 2.13.0-2.13.2. While that bug is now fixed upstream and will probably never be seen in any production-oriented distro, it is currently a problem on some more-bleeding-edge-friendly platforms. * Suppress "chunk is not well balanced" errors from libxml2, unless it is the only error. This eliminates an error-reporting discrepancy between 2.13 and older releases. This error is almost always redundant with previous errors, if not flat-out inappropriate, which is why 2.13 changed the behavior and why nobody's likely to miss it.

2024-07-08Fix scale clamping in numeric round() and trunc().Dean Rasheed
The numeric round() and trunc() functions clamp the scale argument to the range between +/- NUMERIC_MAX_RESULT_SCALE (2000), which is much smaller than the actual allowed range of type numeric. As a result, they return incorrect results when asked to round/truncate more than 2000 digits before or after the decimal point. Fix by using the correct upper and lower scale limits based on the actual allowed (and documented) range of type numeric. While at it, use the new NUMERIC_WEIGHT_MAX constant instead of SHRT_MAX in all other overflow checks, and fix a comment thinko in power_var() introduced by e54a758d24 -- the minimum value of ln_dweight is -NUMERIC_DSCALE_MAX (-16383), not -SHRT_MAX, though this doesn't affect the point being made in the comment, that the resulting local_rscale value may exceed NUMERIC_MAX_DISPLAY_SCALE (1000).

2024-06-13Fix parsing of ignored operators in websearch_to_tsquery().Tom Lane
The manual says clearly that punctuation in the input of websearch_to_tsquery() is ignored, except for the special cases of dashes and quotes. However, this failed for cases like "(foo bar) or something", or in general an ISOPERATOR character in front of the "or". We'd switch back to WAITOPERAND state, then ignore the operator character while remaining in that state, and then reach the "or" in WAITOPERAND state which (intentionally) makes us treat it as data. The fix is simple enough: if we see an ISOPERATOR character while in WAITOPERATOR state, we have to skip it while staying in that state. (We don't need to worry about other punctuation characters: those will be consumed as though they were words, but then rejected by lexizing.) In v14 and up (since commit eb086056f) we can simplify the code a bit more too, because there is no longer a reason for the WAITOPERAND state to distinguish between quoted and unquoted operands.

2024-04-28Detect more overflows in timestamp[tz]_pl_interval.Tom Lane
In commit 25cd2d640 I (tgl) opined that "The additions of the months and microseconds fields could also overflow, of course. However, I believe we need no additional checks there; the existing range checks should catch such cases". This is demonstrably wrong however for the microseconds field, and given that discovery it seems prudent to be paranoid about the months addition as well. Report and patch by Joseph Koshakow. As before, back-patch to all supported branches. (However, the test case doesn't work before v15 because we didn't allow wider-than-int32 numbers in interval literals.

2024-02-09Remove race condition in pg_get_expr().Tom Lane
Since its introduction, pg_get_expr() has intended to silently return NULL if called with an invalid relation OID, as can happen when scanning the catalogs concurrently with relation drops. However, there is a race condition: we check validity of the OID at the start, but it could get dropped just afterward, leading to failures. This is the cause of some intermittent instability we're seeing in a proposed new test case, and presumably it's a hazard in the field as well. We can fix this by AccessShareLock-ing the target relation for the duration of pg_get_expr(). Since we don't require any permissions on the target relation, this is semantically a bit undesirable. But it turns out that the set_relation_column_names() subroutine already takes a transient AccessShareLock on that relation, and has done since commit 2ffa740be in 2012. Given the lack of complaints about that, it seems like there should be no harm in holding the lock a bit longer. Back-patch to all supported branches.

2024-01-29Fix incompatibilities with libxml2 >= 2.12.0.Tom Lane
libxml2 changed the required signature of error handler callbacks to make the passed xmlError struct "const". This is causing build failures on buildfarm member caiman, and no doubt will start showing up in the field quite soon. Add a version check to adjust the declaration of xml_errorHandler() according to LIBXML_VERSION. 2.12.x also produces deprecation warnings for contrib/xml2/xpath.c's assignment to xmlLoadExtDtdDefaultValue. I see no good reason for that to still be there, seeing that we disabled external DTDs (at a lower level) years ago for security reasons. Let's just remove it. Back-patch to all supported branches, since they might all get built with newer libxml2 once it gets a bit more popular. (The back branches produce another deprecation warning about xpath.c's use of xmlSubstituteEntitiesDefault(). We ought to consider whether to back-patch all or part of commit 65c5864d7 to silence that. It's less urgent though, since it won't break the buildfarm.)

2024-01-26Detect Julian-date overflow in timestamp[tz]_pl_interval.Tom Lane
We perform addition of the days field of an interval via arithmetic on the Julian-date representation of the timestamp's date. This step is subject to int32 overflow, and we also should not let the Julian date become very negative, for fear of weird results from j2date. (In the timestamptz case, allow a Julian date of -1 to pass, since it might convert back to zero after timezone rotation.) The additions of the months and microseconds fields could also overflow, of course. However, I believe we need no additional checks there; the existing range checks should catch such cases. The difficulty here is that j2date's magic modular arithmetic could produce something that looks like it's in-range. Per bug #18313 from Christian Maurer.

2023-11-18Guard against overflow in interval_mul() and interval_div().Dean Rasheed
Commits 146604ec43 and a898b409f6 added overflow checks to interval_mul(), but not to interval_div(), which contains almost identical code, and so is susceptible to the same kinds of overflows. In addition, those checks did not catch all possible overflow conditions. Add additional checks to the "cascade down" code in interval_mul(), and copy all the overflow checks over to the corresponding code in interval_div(), so that they both generate "interval out of range" errors, rather than returning bogus results. Given that these errors are relatively easy to hit, back-patch to all supported branches. Per bug #18200 from Alexander Lakhin, and subsequent investigation.

2023-11-06Detect integer overflow while computing new array dimensions.Tom Lane
array_set_element() and related functions allow an array to be enlarged by assigning to subscripts outside the current array bounds. While these places were careful to check that the new bounds are allowable, they neglected to consider the risk of integer overflow in computing the new bounds. In edge cases, we could compute new bounds that are invalid but get past the subsequent checks, allowing bad things to happen. Memory stomps that are potentially exploitable for arbitrary code execution are possible, and so is disclosure of server memory. To fix, perform the hazardous computations using overflow-detecting arithmetic routines, which fortunately exist in all still-supported branches. The test cases added for this generate (after patching) errors that mention the value of MaxArraySize, which is platform-dependent. Rather than introduce multiple expected-files, use psql's VERBOSITY parameter to suppress the printing of the message text. v11 psql lacks that parameter, so omit the tests in that branch.

2023-10-14Dissociate btequalimage() from interval_ops, ending its deduplication.Noah Misch
Under interval_ops, some equal values are distinguishable. One such pair is '24:00:00' and '1 day'. With that being so, btequalimage() breaches the documented contract for the "equalimage" btree support function. This can cause incorrect results from index-only scans. Users should REINDEX any btree indexes having interval-type columns. After updating, pg_amcheck will report an error for almost all such indexes. This fix makes interval_ops simply omit the support function, like numeric_ops does. Back-pack to v13, where btequalimage() first appeared. In back branches, for the benefit of old catalog content, btequalimage() code will return false for type "interval". Going forward, back-branch initdb will include the catalog change.

2023-10-01Fix datalen calculation in tsvectorrecv().Tom Lane
After receiving position data for a lexeme, tsvectorrecv() advanced its "datalen" value by (npos+1)*sizeof(WordEntry) where the correct calculation is (npos+1)*sizeof(WordEntryPos). This accidentally failed to render the constructed tsvector invalid, but it did result in leaving some wasted space approximately equal to the space consumed by the position data. That could have several bad effects: * Disk space is wasted if the received tsvector is stored into a table as-is. * A legal tsvector could get rejected with "maximum total lexeme length exceeded" if the extra space pushes it over the MAXSTRPOS limit. * In edge cases, the finished tsvector could be assigned a length larger than the allocated size of its palloc chunk, conceivably leading to SIGSEGV when the tsvector gets copied somewhere else. The odds of a field failure of this sort seem low, though valgrind testing could probably have found this. While we're here, let's express the calculation as "sizeof(uint16) + npos * sizeof(WordEntryPos)" to avoid the type pun implicit in the "npos + 1" formulation.

Commit 927d9abb6 purported to make datetime() accept any string that could be output for a datetime value by to_jsonb().

2023-03-26Fix oversights in array manipulation.Tom Lane
The nested-arrays code path in ExecEvalArrayExpr() used palloc to allocate the result array, whereas every other array-creating function has used palloc0 since 18c0b4ecc. This mostly works, but unused bits past the end of the nulls bitmap may end up undefined. That causes valgrind complaints with -DWRITE_READ_PARSE_PLAN_TREES, and could cause planner misbehavior as cited in 18c0b4ecc. There seems no very good reason why we should strive to avoid palloc0 in just this one case, so fix it the easy way with s/palloc/palloc0/. While looking at that I noted that we also failed to check for overflow of "nbytes" and "nitems" while summing the sizes of the sub-arrays, potentially allowing a crash due to undersized output allocation. For "nbytes", follow the policy used by other array-munging code of checking for overflow after each addition. (As elsewhere, the last addition of the array's overhead space doesn't need an extra check, since palloc itself will catch a value between 1Gb and 2Gb.) For "nitems", there's no very good reason to sum the inputs at all, since we can perfectly well use ArrayGetNItems' result instead of ignoring it. Per discussion of this bug, also remove redundant zeroing of the nulls bitmap in array_set_element and array_set_slice.

gcc 12+ has complaints like the following: ../../../../../pgsql/src/backend/utils/adt/network.c: In function 'inetnot': ../../../../../pgsql/src/backend/utils/adt/network.c:1893:34: warning: writing 1 byte into a region of size 0 [-Wstringop-overflow=] 1893 | pdst[nb] = ~pip[nb]; | ~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~ ../../../../../pgsql/src/include/utils/inet.h:27:23: note: at offset -1 into destination object 'ipaddr' of size 16 27 | unsigned char ipaddr[16]; /* up to 128 bits of address */ | ^~~~~~ ../../../../../pgsql/src/include/utils/inet.h:27:23: note: at offset -1 into destination object 'ipaddr' of size 16 This is due to a compiler bug: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=104986 It has been a year since the bug has been reported without getting fixed. As the warnings are verbose and use of gcc 12 is becoming more common, it seems worth working around the bug. Particularly because a simple reformulation of the loop condition fixes the issue and isn't any less readable.

2023-03-14Fix corner case bug in numeric to_char() some more.Tom Lane
The band-aid applied in commit f0bedf3e4 turns out to still need some work: it made sure we didn't set Np->last_relevant too small (to the left of the decimal point), but it didn't prevent setting it too large (off the end of the partially-converted string). This could result in fetching data beyond the end of the allocated space, which with very bad luck could cause a SIGSEGV, though I don't see any hazard of interesting memory disclosure. Per bug #17839 from Thiago Nunes. The bug's pretty ancient, so back-patch to all supported versions. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/17839-aada50db24d7b0da@postgresql.org
2023-03-01Avoid fetching one past the end of translate()'s "to" parameter.Tom Lane
This is usually harmless, but if you were very unlucky it could provoke a segfault due to the "to" string being right up against the end of memory. Found via valgrind testing (so we might've found it earlier, except that our regression tests lacked any exercise of translate()'s deletion feature). Fix by switching the order of the test-for-end-of-string and advance-pointer steps. While here, compute "to_ptr + tolen" just once. (Smarter compilers might figure that out for themselves, but let's just make sure.) Report and fix by Daniil Anisimov, in bug #17816.

2023-02-17Print the correct aliases for DML target tables in ruleutils.Tom Lane
ruleutils.c blindly printed the user-given alias (or nothing if there hadn't been one) for the target table of INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE queries. That works a large percentage of the time, but not always: for queries appearing in WITH, it's possible that we chose a different alias to avoid conflict with outer-scope names. Since the chosen alias would be used in any Var references to the target table, this'd lead to an inconsistent printout with consequences such as dump/restore failures. The correct logic for printing (or not) a relation alias was embedded in get_from_clause_item. Factor it out to a separate function so that we don't need a jointree node to use it. (Only a limited part of that function can be reached from these new call sites, but this seems like the cleanest non-duplicative factorization.) In passing, I got rid of a redundant "\d+ rules_src" step in rules.sql. Initial report from Jonathan Katz; thanks to Vignesh C for analysis. This has been broken for a long time, so back-patch to all supported branches.

2023-01-12Fix jsonpath existense checking of missing variablesAlexander Korotkov
The current jsonpath code assumes that the referenced variable always exists. It could only throw an error at the value valuation time. At the same time existence checking assumes variable is present without valuation, and error suppression doesn't work for missing variables. This commit makes existense checking trigger an error for missing variables. This makes the overall behavior consistent. Backpatch to 12 where jsonpath was introduced. Reported-by: David G.

2022-11-22YA attempt at taming worst-case behavior of get_actual_variable_range.Tom Lane
We've made multiple attempts at preventing get_actual_variable_range from taking an unreasonable amount of time (3ca930fc3, fccebe421). But there's still an issue for the very first planning attempt after deletion of a large number of extremal-valued tuples. While that planning attempt will set "killed" bits on the tuples it visits and thereby reduce effort for next time, there's still a lot of work it has to do to visit the heap and then set those bits. It's (usually?) not worth it to do that much work at plan time to have a slightly better estimate, especially in a context like this where the table contents are known to be mutating rapidly. Therefore, let's bound the amount of work to be done by giving up after we've visited 100 heap pages. Giving up just means we'll fall back on the extremal value recorded in pg_statistic, so it shouldn't mean that planner estimates suddenly become worthless. Note that this means we'll still gradually whittle down the problem by setting a few more index "killed" bits in each planning attempt; so eventually we'll reach a good state (barring further deletions), even in the absence of VACUUM. Simon Riggs, per a complaint from Jakub Wartak (with cosmetic adjustments by me). Back-patch to all supported branches.

2022-11-21Add comments and a missing CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS in ts_headline.Tom Lane
I just spent an annoying amount of time reverse-engineering the 100%-undocumented API between ts_headline and the text search parser's prsheadline function. Add some commentary about that while it's fresh in mind. Also remove some unused macros in wparser_def.c. While at it, I noticed that when commit 78e73e875 added a CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS call in TS_execute_recurse, it missed doing so in the parallel function TS_phrase_execute, which surely needs one just as much. Back-patch because of the missing CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS. Might as well back-patch the rest of this too.
2022-09-28Change some errdetail() to errdetail_internal()Alvaro Herrera
This prevents marking the argument string for translation for gettext, and it also prevents the given string (which is already translated) from being translated at runtime. Also, mark the strings used as arguments to check_rolespec_name for translation. Backpatch all the way back as appropriate. None of this is caught by any tests (necessarily so), so I verified it manually.
2022-09-20Suppress variable-set-but-not-used warnings from clang 15.Tom Lane
clang 15+ will issue a set-but-not-used warning when the only use of a variable is in autoincrements (e.g., "foo++;"). That's perfectly sensible, but it detects a few more cases that we'd not noticed before. Silence the warnings with our usual methods, such as PG_USED_FOR_ASSERTS_ONLY, or in one case by actually removing a useless variable. One thing that we can't nicely get rid of is that with %pure-parser, Bison emits "yynerrs" as a local variable that falls foul of this warning. To silence those, I inserted "(void) yynerrs;" in the top-level productions of affected grammars. Per recently-established project policy, this is a candidate for back-patching into out-of-support branches: it suppresses annoying compiler warnings but changes no behavior. Hence, back-patch to 9.5, which is as far as these patches go without issues. (A preliminary check shows that the prior branches need some other set-but-not-used cleanups too, so I'll leave them for another day.) Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/514615.1663615243@sss.pgh.pa.us

Commit c4c340088 changed geometric operators to use float4 and float8 functions, and handle NaN's in a better way. The circle sameness test had a typo in the code which resulted in all comparisons with the left circle having a NaN radius considered same. postgres=# select '<(0,0),NaN>'::circle ~= '<(0,0),1>'::circle; ?column? ---------- t (1 row) This fixes the sameness test to consider the radius of both the left and right circle.

2022-08-24Defend against stack overrun in a few more places.Tom Lane
SplitToVariants() in the ispell code, lseg_inside_poly() in geo_ops.c, and regex_selectivity_sub() in selectivity estimation could recurse until stack overflow; fix by adding check_stack_depth() calls. So could next() in the regex compiler, but that case is better fixed by converting its tail recursion to a loop. (We probably get better code that way too, since next() can now be inlined into its sole caller.) There remains a reachable stack overrun in the Turkish stemmer, but we'll need some advice from the Snowball people about how to fix that. Per report from Egor Chindyaskin and Alexander Lakhin. These mistakes are old, so back-patch to all supported branches. Richard Guo and Tom Lane Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/1661334672.728714027@f473.i.mail.ru
2022-08-14Preserve memory context of VarStringSortSupport buffers.Tom Lane
When enlarging the work buffers of a VarStringSortSupport object, varstrfastcmp_locale was careful to keep them in the ssup_cxt memory context; but varstr_abbrev_convert just used palloc(). The latter creates a hazard that the buffers could be freed out from under the VarStringSortSupport object, resulting in stomping on whatever gets allocated in that memory later. In practice, because we only use this code for ICU collations (cf. 3df9c374e), the problem is confined to use of ICU collations. I believe it may have been unreachable before the introduction of incremental sort, too, as traditional sorting usually just uses one context for the duration of the sort. We could fix this by making the broken stanzas in varstr_abbrev_convert match the non-broken ones in varstrfastcmp_locale. However, it seems like a better idea to dodge the issue altogether by replacing the pfree-and-allocate-anew coding with repalloc, which automatically preserves the chunk's memory context. This fix does add a few cycles because repalloc will copy the chunk's content, which the existing coding assumes is useless. However, we don't expect that these buffer enlargement operations are performance-critical. Besides that, it's far from obvious that copying the buffer contents isn't required, since these stanzas make no effort to mark the buffers invalid by resetting last_returned, cache_blob, etc. That seems to be safe upon examination, but it's fragile and could easily get broken in future, which wouldn't get revealed in testing with short-to-moderate-size strings. Per bug #17584 from James Inform. Whether or not the issue is reachable in the older branches, this code has been broken on its own terms from its introduction, so patch all the way back.

2022-07-21Fix ruleutils issues with dropped cols in functions-returning-composite.Tom Lane
Due to lack of concern for the case in the dependency code, it's possible to drop a column of a composite type even though stored queries have references to the dropped column via functions-in-FROM that return the composite type. There are "soft" references, namely FROM-clause aliases for such columns, and "hard" references, that is actual Vars referring to them. The right fix for hard references is to add dependencies preventing the drop; something we've known for many years and not done (and this commit still doesn't address it). A "soft" reference shouldn't prevent a drop though. We've been around on this before (cf. 9b35ddce9, 2c4debbd0), but nobody had noticed that the current behavior can result in dump/reload failures, because ruleutils.c can print more column aliases than the underlying composite type now has. So we need to rejigger the column-alias-handling code to treat such columns as dropped and not print aliases for them. Rather than writing new code for this, I used expandRTE() which already knows how to figure out which function result columns are dropped. I'd initially thought maybe we could use expandRTE() in all cases, but that fails for EXPLAIN's purposes, because the planner strips a lot of RTE infrastructure that expandRTE() needs. So this patch just uses it for unplanned function RTEs and otherwise does things the old way. If there is a hard reference (Var), then removing the column alias causes us to fail to print the Var, since there's no longer a name to print. Failing seems less desirable than printing a made-up name, so I made it print "?dropped?column?" instead. Per report from Timo Stolz. Back-patch to all supported branches.

2022-06-27Fix visibility check when XID is committed in CLOG but not in procarray.Heikki Linnakangas
TransactionIdIsInProgress had a fast path to return 'false' if the single-item CLOG cache said that the transaction was known to be committed. However, that was wrong, because a transaction is first marked as committed in the CLOG but doesn't become visible to others until it has removed its XID from the proc array. That could lead to an error: ERROR: t_xmin is uncommitted in tuple to be updated or for an UPDATE to go ahead without blocking, before the previous UPDATE on the same row was made visible. The window is usually very short, but synchronous replication makes it much wider, because the wait for synchronous replica happens in that window. Another thing that makes it hard to hit is that it's hard to get such a commit-in-progress transaction into the single item CLOG cache. Normally, if you call TransactionIdIsInProgress on such a transaction, it determines that the XID is in progress without checking the CLOG and without populating the cache. One way to prime the cache is to explicitly call pg_xact_status() on the XID. Another way is to use a lot of subtransactions, so that the subxid cache in the proc array is overflown, making TransactionIdIsInProgress rely on pg_subtrans and CLOG checks. This has been broken ever since it was introduced in 2008, but the race condition is very hard to hit, especially without synchronous replication. There were a couple of reports of the error starting from summer 2021, but no one was able to find the root cause then. TransactionIdIsKnownCompleted() is now unused. In 'master', remove it, but I left it in place in backbranches in case it's used by extensions. Also change pg_xact_status() to check TransactionIdIsInProgress(). Previously, it only checked the CLOG, and returned "committed" before the transaction was actually made visible to other queries. Note that this also means that you cannot use pg_xact_status() to reproduce the bug anymore, even if the code wasn't fixed. Report and analysis by Konstantin Knizhnik. Patch by Simon Riggs, with the pg_xact_status() change added by me.
