socket lockfile) when writing them. The lack of an fsync here may well
explain two different reports we've seen of corrupted lockfile contents,
which doesn't particularly bother the running server but can prevent a
new server from starting if the old one crashes. Per suggestion from
Alvaro.
Back-patch to all supported versions.

path that specifies useTemp, but there is no active temp schema in the
current session. (This can happen if the path was saved during a transaction
that created a temp schema and was later rolled back.) For existing callers
it's sufficient to ignore the useTemp flag in this case, though we might
later want to offer an option to create a fresh temp schema. So far as I can
tell this is just an Assert failure: in a non-assert build, the code would
push a zero onto the new search path, which is useless but not very harmful.
Per bug report from Heikki.
Back-patch to 8.3; prior versions don't have this code.

functionality, while creating an ambiguity in usage with ORDER BY that at
least two people have already gotten seriously confused by. Also, add an
opr_sanity test to check that we don't in future violate the newly minted
policy of not having built-in aggregates with the same name and different
numbers of parameters. Per discussion of a complaint from Thom Brown.

tsqueries. CompareTSQ has to have a guard for the case rather than blindly
applying QTNodeCompare to random data past the end of the datums. Also,
change QTNodeCompare to be a little less trusting: use an actual test rather
than just Assert'ing that the input is sane. Problem encountered while
investigating another issue (I saw a core dump in autoanalyze on a table
containing multiple empty tsquery values).
Back-patch to all branches with tsquery support.
In HEAD, also fix some bizarre (though not outright wrong) coding in
tsq_mcontains().

interval input "invalid" was specified together with other fields. Spotted
by Neil Conway with the help of a clang warning. Although this has been
wrong since the interval code was written more than 10 years ago, it doesn't
affect anything beyond which error message you get for a wrong input, so not
worth back-patching very far.

struct representing a tree entry, rather than being a separately allocated
piece of storage. This API is at least as clean as the old one (if not
more so --- there were some bizarre choices in there) and it permits a
very substantial memory savings, on the order of 2X in ginbulk.c's usage.
Also, fix minor memory leaks in code called by ginEntryInsert, in
particular in ginInsertValue and entryFillRoot, as well as ginEntryInsert
itself. These leaks resulted in the GIN index build context continuing
to bloat even after we'd filled it to maintenance_work_mem and started
to dump data out to the index.
In combination these fixes restore the GIN index build code to honoring
the maintenance_work_mem limit about as well as it did in 8.4. Speed
seems on par with 8.4 too, maybe even a bit faster, for a non-pathological
case in which HEAD was formerly slower.
Back-patch to 9.0 so we don't have a performance regression from 8.4.

path when CSV logging is configured but not yet operational. It's sufficient
to send the message to stderr, as we were already doing, and the "Not safe"
gripe has already confused at least two core members ...
Backpatch to 9.0, but not further --- doesn't seem appropriate to change
this behavior in stable branches.

loop from being dropped, I missed subtransaction cleanup. Pinned portals
must be dropped at subtransaction cleanup just as they are at main
transaction cleanup.
Per bug #5556 by Robert Walker. Backpatch to 8.0, 7.4 didn't have
subtransactions.

use the actual element type of the array it's disassembling, rather than
trusting the type OID passed in by its caller. This is needed because
sometimes the planner passes in a type OID that's only binary-compatible
with the target column's type, rather than being an exact match. Per an
example from Bernd Helmle.
Possibly we should refactor get_attstatsslot/free_attstatsslot to not expect
the caller to supply type ID data at all, but for now I'll just do the
minimum-change fix.
Back-patch to 7.4. Bernd's test case only crashes back to 8.0, but since
these subroutines are the same in 7.4, I suspect there may be variant
cases that would crash 7.4 as well.

resjunk outputs of subquery tlists, instead of throwing an error. Per bug
#5548 from Daniel Grace.
We might at some point find we ought to back-patch this further than 9.0,
but I think that such Vars can only occur as resjunk members of upper-level
tlists, in which case the problem can't arise because prior versions didn't
print resjunk tlist items in EXPLAIN VERBOSE.
|
|
To do that, replace L'\0' by (WCHAR) 0. Perhaps someday we should teach
pgindent about wide-character literals, but so long as this is the only
use-case in the entire Postgres sources, a workaround seems easier.
|
|
Per extensive discussion on pgsql-hackers. We are deliberately not
back-patching this even though the behavior of 8.3 and 8.4 is
unquestionably broken, for fear of breaking existing users of this
parameter. This incompatibility should be release-noted.

being used in a PL/pgSQL FOR loop is closed was inadequate, as Tom Lane
pointed out. The bug affects FOR statement variants too, because you can
close an implicitly created cursor too by guessing the "<unnamed portal X>"
name created for it.
To fix that, "pin" the portal to prevent it from being dropped while it's
being used in a PL/pgSQL FOR loop. Backpatch all the way to 7.4 which is
the oldest supported version.

to have different values in different processes of the primary server.
Also put it into the "Streaming Replication" GUC category; it doesn't belong
in "Standby Servers" because you use it on the master not the standby.
In passing also correct guc.c's idea of wal_keep_segments' category.

max_standby_streaming_delay, and revise the implementation to avoid assuming
that timestamps found in WAL records can meaningfully be compared to clock
time on the standby server. Instead, the delay limits are compared to the
elapsed time since we last obtained a new WAL segment from archive or since
we were last "caught up" to WAL data arriving via streaming replication.
This avoids problems with clock skew between primary and standby, as well
as other corner cases that the original coding would misbehave in, such
as the primary server having significant idle time between transactions.
Per my complaint some time ago and considerable ensuing discussion.
Do some desultory editing on the hot standby documentation, too.

"val AS name" to "name := val", as per recent discussion.
This patch catches everything in the original named-parameters patch,
but I'm not certain that no other dependencies snuck in later (grepping
the source tree for all uses of AS soon proved unworkable).
In passing I note that we've dropped the ball at least once on keeping
ecpg's lexer (as opposed to parser) in sync with the backend. It would
be a good idea to go through all of pgc.l and see if it's in sync now.
I didn't attempt that at the moment.

end of the pattern: the code path that handles \ just after % should throw

for sure ;-)). It now also optimizes more cases, such as %_%_. Improve
comments too. Per bug #5478.
In passing, also rename the TCHAR macro to GETCHAR, because pgindent is
messing with the formatting of the former (apparently it now thinks TCHAR
is a typedef name).
Back-patch to 8.3, where the bug was introduced.

This saves cycles in get_ps_display() on many popular platforms, and more
importantly ensures that get_ps_display() will correctly return an empty
string if init_ps_display() hasn't been called yet. Per trouble report
from Ray Stell, in which log_line_prefix %i produced junk early in backend
startup.
Back-patch to 8.0. 7.4 doesn't have %i and its version of get_ps_display()
makes no pretense of avoiding pad junk anyhow.

My initial impression that glibc was measuring the precision in characters
(which is what the Linux man page says it does) was incorrect. It does take
the precision to be in bytes, but it also tries to truncate the string at a
character boundary. The bottom line remains the same: it will mess up
if the string is not in the encoding it expects, so we need to avoid %.*s
anytime there's a significant risk of that. Previous code changes are still
good, but adjust the comments to reflect this knowledge. Per research by
Hernan Gonzalez.
|
|
Depending on which spec you read, field widths and precisions in %s may be
counted either in bytes or characters. Our code was assuming bytes, which
is wrong at least for glibc's implementation, and in any case libc might
have a different idea of the prevailing encoding than we do. Hence, for
portable results we must avoid using anything more complex than just "%s"
unless the string to be printed is known to be all-ASCII.
This patch fixes the cases I could find, including the psql formatting
failure reported by Hernan Gonzalez. In HEAD only, I also added comments
to some places where it appears safe to continue using "%.*s".

MaxStandbyDelay. Use the GUC units mechanism for the value, and choose more
appropriate timestamp functions for performing tests with it. Make the
ps_activity manipulation in ResolveRecoveryConflictWithVirtualXIDs have
behavior similar to ps_activity code elsewhere, notably not updating the
display when update_process_title is off and not truncating the display
contents at an arbitrarily-chosen length. Improve the docs to be explicit
about what MaxStandbyDelay actually measures, viz the difference between
primary and standby servers' clocks, and the possible hazards if their clocks
aren't in sync.

confusion with streaming-replication settings. Also, change its default
value to "off", because of concern about executing new and poorly-tested
code during ordinary non-replicating operation. Per discussion.
In passing do some minor editing of related documentation.

archival or hot standby should be WAL-logged, instead of deducing that from
other options like archive_mode. This replaces recovery_connections GUC in
the primary, where it now has no effect, but it's still used in the standby
to enable/disable hot standby.
Remove the WAL-logging of "unlogged operations", like creating an index
without WAL-logging and fsyncing it at the end. Instead, we keep a copy of
the wal_mode setting and the settings that affect how much shared memory a
hot standby server needs to track master transactions (max_connections,
max_prepared_xacts, max_locks_per_xact) in pg_control. Whenever the settings
change, at server restart, write a WAL record noting the new settings and
update pg_control. This allows us to notice the change in those settings in
the standby at the right moment, they used to be included in checkpoint
records, but that meant that a changed value was not reflected in the
standby until the first checkpoint after the change.
Bump PG_CONTROL_VERSION and XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC. Whack XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC back to
the sequence it used to follow, before hot standby and subsequent patches
changed it to 0x9003.

Normal superuser processes are allowed to connect even when the database
system is shutting down, or when fewer than superuser_reserved_connection
slots remain. This is intended to make sure an administrator can log in
and troubleshoot, so don't extend these same courtesies to users connecting
for replication.

than during define_custom_variable(). This entails rejecting an ALTER
command if the target variable doesn't have a known (non-placeholder)
definition, unless the calling user is superuser. When the variable *is*
known, we can correctly apply the rule that only superusers can issue ALTER
for SUSET parameters. This allows define_custom_variable to apply ALTER's
values for SUSET parameters at module load time, secure in the knowledge
that only a superuser could have set the ALTER value. This change fixes a
longstanding gotcha in the usage of SUSET-level custom parameters; which
is a good thing to fix now that plpgsql defines such a parameter.

database to connect to. This is necessary for the walsender code to work
properly (it was previously using an untenable assumption that template1 would
always be available to connect to). This also gets rid of a small security
shortcoming that was introduced in the original patch to eliminate the flat
authentication files: before, you could find out whether or not the requested
database existed even if you couldn't pass the authentication checks.
The changes needed to support this are mainly just to treat pg_authid and
pg_auth_members as nailed relations, so that we can read them without having
to be able to locate real pg_class entries for them. This mechanism was
already debugged for pg_database, but we hadn't recognized the value of
applying it to those catalogs too.
Since the current code doesn't have support for accessing toast tables before
we've brought up all of the relcache, remove pg_authid's toast table to ensure
that no one can store an out-of-line toasted value of rolpassword. The case
seems quite unlikely to occur in practice, and was effectively unsupported
anyway in the old "flatfiles" implementation.
Update genbki.pl to actually implement the same rules as bootstrap.c does for
not-nullability of catalog columns. The previous coding was a bit cheesy but
worked all right for the previous set of bootstrap catalogs. It does not work
for pg_authid, where rolvaliduntil needs to be nullable.
Initdb forced due to minor catalog changes (mainly the toast table removal).

Also, make the name of the GUC and the name of the backing variable match.
Alnong the way, clean up a couple of slight typographical errors in the

those process types that go through InitPostgres; in particular, bootstrap
and standalone-backend cases. This ensures that we have set up a PGPROC
and done some other basic initialization steps (corresponding to the
if (IsUnderPostmaster) block in AuxiliaryProcessMain) before we attempt to
run WAL recovery in a standalone backend. As was discovered last September,
this is necessary for some corner-case code paths during WAL recovery,
particularly end-of-WAL cleanup.
Moving the bootstrap case here too is not necessary for correctness, but it
seems like a good idea since it reduces the number of distinct code paths.

The logic for determining whether to materialize has been significantly
overhauled for 9.0. In case there should be any doubt about whether
materialization is a win in any particular case, this should provide a
convenient way of seeing what happens without it; but even with enable_material
turned off, we still materialize in cases where it is required for
correctness.
Thanks to Tom Lane for the review.

relcache reload works. In the patched code, a relcache entry in process of
being rebuilt doesn't get unhooked from the relcache hash table; which means
that if a cache flush occurs due to sinval queue overrun while we're
rebuilding it, the entry could get blown away by RelationCacheInvalidate,
resulting in crash or misbehavior. Fix by ensuring that an entry being
rebuilt has positive refcount, so it won't be seen as a target for removal
if a cache flush occurs. (This will mean that the entry gets rebuilt twice
in such a scenario, but that's okay.) It appears that the problem can only
arise within a transaction that has previously reassigned the relfilenode of
a pre-existing table, via TRUNCATE or a similar operation. Per bug #5412
from Rusty Conover.
Back-patch to 8.2, same as the patch that introduced the problem.
I think that the failure can't actually occur in 8.2, since it lacks the
rd_newRelfilenodeSubid optimization, but let's make it work like the later
branches anyway.
Patch by Heikki, slightly editorialized on by me.

doesn't take into account how far the WAL senders are. This way a hung
WAL sender doesn't prevent old WAL segments from being recycled/removed
in the primary, ultimately causing the disk to fill up. Instead add
standby_keep_segments setting to control how many old WAL segments are
kept in the primary. This also makes it more reliable to use streaming
replication without WAL archiving, assuming that you set
standby_keep_segments high enough.

rather than only sort-of working as the previous attempt had left it.
Clean up some unnecessary differences between the way these were coded and
the way the YYYY case was coded. Update the regression test cases that
proved that it wasn't working.
|
|
The error message now makes explicit reference to the GUC that must be changed
to fix the problem, using wording suggested by Tom Lane. Along the way,
rename the GUC from MaxWalSenders to max_wal_senders for consistency and
grep-ability.
