2018-08-21Fix set of NLS translation issuesMichael Paquier
While monitoring the code, a couple of issues related to string translation has showed up: - Some routines for auto-updatable views return an error string, which sometimes missed the shot. A comment regarding string translation is added for each routine to help with future features. - GSSAPI authentication missed two translations. - vacuumdb handles non-translated strings. - GetConfigOptionByNum should translate strings. This part is not back-patched as after a minor upgrade this could be surprising for users.

2018-08-16Use the built-in float datatypes to implement geometric typesTomas Vondra
This patch makes the geometric operators and functions use the exported function of the float4/float8 datatypes. The main reason of doing so is to check for underflow and overflow, and to handle NaNs consciously. The float datatypes consider NaNs values to be equal and greater than all non-NaN values. This change considers NaNs equal only for equality operators. The placement operators, contains, overlaps, left/right of etc. continue to return false when NaNs are involved. We don't need to worry about them being considered greater than any-NaN because there aren't any basic comparison operators like less/greater than for the geometric datatypes. The changes may be summarised as: * Check for underflow, overflow and division by zero * Consider NaN values to be equal * Return NULL when the distance is NaN for all closest point operators * Favour not-NaN over NaN where it makes sense The patch also replaces all occurrences of "double" as "float8". They are the same, but were used inconsistently in the same file.

2018-08-16Require a C99-compliant snprintf(), and remove related workarounds.Tom Lane
Since our substitute snprintf now returns a C99-compliant result, there's no need anymore to have complicated code to cope with pre-C99 behavior. We can just make configure substitute snprintf.c if it finds that the system snprintf() is pre-C99. (Note: I do not believe that there are any platforms where this test will trigger that weren't already being rejected due to our other C99-ish feature requirements for snprintf. But let's add the check for paranoia's sake.) Then, simplify the call sites that had logic to cope with the pre-C99 definition. I also dropped some stuff that was being paranoid about the possibility of snprintf overrunning the given buffer. The only reports we've ever heard of that being a problem were for Solaris 7, which is long dead, and we've sure not heard any reports of these assertions triggering in a long time. So let's drop that complexity too. Likewise, drop some code that wasn't trusting snprintf to set errno when it returns -1. That would be not-per-spec, and again there's no real reason to believe it is a live issue, especially not for snprintfs that pass all of configure's feature checks.

2018-08-15Clean up assorted misuses of snprintf()'s result value.Tom Lane
Fix a small number of places that were testing the result of snprintf() but doing so incorrectly. The right test for buffer overrun, per C99, is "result >= bufsize" not "result > bufsize". Some places were also checking for failure with "result == -1", but the standard only says that a negative value is delivered on failure. (Note that this only makes these places correct if snprintf() delivers C99-compliant results. But at least now these places are consistent with all the other places where we assume that.) Also, make psql_start_test() and isolation_start_test() check for buffer overrun while constructing their shell commands. There seems like a higher risk of overrun, with more severe consequences, here than there is for the individual file paths that are made elsewhere in the same functions, so this seemed like a worthwhile change. Also fix guc.c's do_serialize() to initialize errno = 0 before calling vsnprintf. In principle, this should be unnecessary because vsnprintf should have set errno if it returns a failure indication ... but the other two places this coding pattern is cribbed from don't assume that, so let's be consistent. These errors are all very old, so back-patch as appropriate. I think that only the shell command overrun cases are even theoretically reachable in practice, but there's not much point in erroneous error checks.

2018-08-10Handle parallel index builds on mapped relations.Peter Geoghegan
Commit 9da0cc35284, which introduced parallel CREATE INDEX, failed to propagate relmapper.c backend local cache state to parallel worker processes. This could result in parallel index builds against mapped catalog relations where the leader process (participating as a worker) scans the new, pristine relfilenode, while worker processes scan the obsolescent relfilenode. When this happened, the final index structure was typically not consistent with the owning table's structure. The final index structure could contain entries formed from both heap relfilenodes. Only rebuilds on mapped catalog relations that occur as part of a VACUUM FULL or CLUSTER could become corrupt in practice, since their mapped relation relfilenode swap is what allows the inconsistency to arise. On master, fix the problem by propagating the required relmapper.c backend state as part of standard parallel initialization (Cf. commit 29d58fd3). On v11, simply disallow builds against mapped catalog relations by deeming them parallel unsafe.

2018-07-31Further fixes for quoted-list GUC values in pg_dump and ruleutils.c.Tom Lane
Commits 742869946 et al turn out to be a couple bricks shy of a load. We were dumping the stored values of GUC_LIST_QUOTE variables as they appear in proconfig or setconfig catalog columns. However, although that quoting rule looks a lot like SQL-identifier double quotes, there are two critical differences: empty strings ("") are legal, and depending on which variable you're considering, values longer than NAMEDATALEN might be valid too. So the current technique fails altogether on empty-string list entries (as reported by Steven Winfield in bug #15248) and it also risks truncating file pathnames during dump/reload of GUC values that are lists of pathnames. To fix, split the stored value without any downcasing or truncation, and then emit each element as a SQL string literal. This is a tad annoying, because we now have three copies of the comma-separated-string splitting logic in varlena.c as well as a fourth one in dumputils.c. (Not to mention the randomly-different-from-those splitting logic in libpq...) I looked at unifying these, but it would be rather a mess unless we're willing to tweak the API definitions of SplitIdentifierString, SplitDirectoriesString, or both. That might be worth doing in future; but it seems pretty unsafe for a back-patched bug fix, so for now accept the duplication. Back-patch to all supported branches, as the previous fix was.

2018-07-29Provide separate header file for built-in float typesTomas Vondra
Some data types under adt/ have separate header files, but most simple ones do not, and their public functions are defined in builtins.h. As the patches improving geometric types will require making additional functions public, this seems like a good opportunity to create a header for floats types. Commit 1acf757255 made _cmp functions public to solve NaN issues locally for GiST indexes. This patch reworks it in favour of a more widely applicable API. The API uses inline functions, as they are easier to use compared to macros, and avoid double-evaluation hazards.

2018-07-29Refactor geometric functions and operatorsTomas Vondra
The primary goal of this patch is to eliminate duplicate code and share code between different geometric data types more often, to prepare the ground for additional patches. Until now the code reuse was limited, probably because the simpler types (line and point) were implemented after the more complex ones. The changes are quite extensive and can be summarised as: * Eliminate SQL-level function calls. * Re-use more functions to implement others. * Unify internal function names and signatures. * Remove private functions from geo_decls.h. * Replace should-not-happen checks with assertions. * Add comments describe for various functions. * Remove some unreachable code. * Define delimiter symbols of line datatype like the other ones. * Remove the GEODEBUG macro and printf() calls. * Unify code style of a few oddly formatted lines. While the goal was to cause minimal user-visible changes, it was not possible to keep the original behavior in all cases - for example when handling NaN values, or when reusing code makes the functions return consistent results.

While on the way, fix one errcode_for_file_access missing in origin.c since the code has been created, and remove one assignment of errno to 0 before calling read(), as this was around to fit with what was present before 811b6e36 where errno would not be set when not enough bytes are read.

2018-07-22Hand code string to integer conversion for performance.Andres Freund
As benchmarks show, using libc's string-to-integer conversion is pretty slow. At least part of the reason for that is that strtol[l] have to be more generic than what largely is required inside pg. This patch considerably speeds up int2/int4 input (int8 already was already using hand-rolled code). Most of the existing pg_atoi callers have been converted. But as one requires pg_atoi's custom delimiter functionality, and as it seems likely that there's external pg_atoi users, it seems sensible to just keep pg_atoi around.

2018-07-19Fix pg_get_indexdef()'s behavior for included index columns.Tom Lane
The multi-argument form of pg_get_indexdef() failed to print anything when asked to print a single index column that is an included column rather than a key column. This seems an unintentional result of someone having tried to take a short-cut and use the attrsOnly flag for two different purposes. To fix, split said flag into two flags, attrsOnly which suppresses non-attribute info, and keysOnly which suppresses included columns. Add a test case using psql's \d command, which relies on that function. (It's mighty tempting at this point to replace pg_get_indexdef_worker's mess of boolean flag arguments with a single bitmask-of-flags argument, which would allow making the call sites much more self-documenting. But I refrained for the moment.) Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/21724.1531943735@sss.pgh.pa.us
2018-07-18Use a ResourceOwner to track buffer pins in all cases.Tom Lane
Historically, we've allowed auxiliary processes to take buffer pins without tracking them in a ResourceOwner. However, that creates problems for error recovery. In particular, we've seen multiple reports of assertion crashes in the startup process when it gets an error while holding a buffer pin, as for example if it gets ENOSPC during a write. In a non-assert build, the process would simply exit without releasing the pin at all. We've gotten away with that so far just because a failure exit of the startup process translates to a database crash anyhow; but any similar behavior in other aux processes could result in stuck pins and subsequent problems in vacuum. To improve this, institute a policy that we must *always* have a resowner backing any attempt to pin a buffer, which we can enforce just by removing the previous special-case code in resowner.c. Add infrastructure to make it easy to create a process-lifespan AuxProcessResourceOwner and clear out its contents at appropriate times. Replace existing ad-hoc resowner management in bgwriter.c and other aux processes with that. (Thus, while the startup process gains a resowner where it had none at all before, some other aux process types are replacing an ad-hoc resowner with this code.) Also use the AuxProcessResourceOwner to manage buffer pins taken during StartupXLOG and ShutdownXLOG, even when those are being run in a bootstrap process or a standalone backend rather than a true auxiliary process. In passing, remove some other ad-hoc resource owner creations that had gotten cargo-culted into various other places. As far as I can tell that was all unnecessary, and if it had been necessary it was incomplete, due to lacking any provision for clearing those resowners later. (Also worth noting in this connection is that a process that hasn't called InitBufferPoolBackend has no business accessing buffers; so there's more to do than just add the resowner if we want to touch buffers in processes not covered by this patch.) Although this fixes a very old bug, no back-patch, because there's no evidence of any significant problem in non-assert builds. Patch by me, pursuant to a report from Justin Pryzby.

2018-07-18Rework error messages around file handlingMichael Paquier
Some error messages related to file handling are using the code path context to define their state. For example, 2PC-related errors are referring to "two-phase status files", or "relation mapping file" is used for catalog-to-filenode mapping, however those prove to be difficult to translate, and are not more helpful than just referring to the path of the file being worked on. So simplify all those error messages by just referring to files with their path used. In some cases, like the manipulation of WAL segments, the context is actually helpful so those are kept. Calls to the system function read() have also been rather inconsistent with their error handling sometimes not reporting the number of bytes read, and some other code paths trying to use an errno which has not been set. The in-core functions are using a more consistent pattern with this patch, which checks for both errno if set or if an inconsistent read is happening. So as to care about pluralization when reading an unexpected number of byte(s), "could not read: read %d of %zu" is used as error message, with %d field being the output result of read() and %zu the expected size. This simplifies the work of translators with less variations of the same message. Author: Michael Paquier Reviewed-by: Álvaro Herrera Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20180520000522.GB1603@paquier.xyz

As of commit 37a795a60, populate_recordset_worker() tried to pass back (as rsi.setDesc) a tupdesc that it also had cached in its fn_extra. But the core executor would free the passed-back tupdesc, risking a crash if the function were called again in the same query.

2018-06-21Fix partial aggregation for variance(int4) and related aggregates.Tom Lane
A typo in numeric_poly_combine caused bogus results for queries using it, but of course would only manifest if parallel aggregation is performed. Reported by Rajkumar Raghuwanshi. David Rowley did the diagnosis and the fix; I editorialized rather heavily on his regression test additions. Back-patch to v10 where the breakage was introduced (by 9cca11c91).

2018-06-21Set correct context for XPath evaluationAlvaro Herrera
According to the SQL standard, the context of XMLTABLE's XPath row_expression is the document node of the XML input document, not the root node. This becomes visible when a relative path rather than absolute is used as row expression. Absolute paths is what was used in original tests and docs (and the most common form used in examples throughout the interwebs), which explains why this wasn't noticed before. Other functions such as xpath() and xpath_exists() also have this problem. While not specified by the SQL standard, it would be pretty odd to leave those functions to behave differently than XMLTABLE, so change them too. However, this is a backwards-incompatible change. No backpatch, out of fear of breaking code depending on the original broken behavior.

2018-06-20Accept TEXT and CDATA nodes in XMLTABLE's column_expression.Alvaro Herrera
Column expressions that match TEXT or CDATA nodes must return the contents of the nodes themselves, not the content of non-existing children (i.e. the empty string).

2018-06-17Suppress -Wshift-negative-value warnings.Tom Lane
Clean up four places that result in compiler warnings when using recent gcc with this warning class enabled (as seen on buildfarm members calliphoridae, skink, and others). In all these places, this is purely cosmetic, because the shift distance could not be large enough to risk a change of sign, so there's no chance of implementation-dependent behavior. Still, it's easy enough to avoid the warning by casting the shifted value to unsigned, so let's do that. Patch HEAD only, this isn't worth a back-patch.
2018-06-13Fix some ill-chosen names for globally-visible partition support functions.Tom Lane
"compute_hash_value" is particularly gratuitously generic, but IMO all of these ought to have names clearly related to partitioning.
2018-06-13Fix up run-time partition pruning's use of relcache's partition data.Tom Lane
The previous coding saved pointers into the partitioned table's relcache entry, but then closed the relcache entry, causing those pointers to nominally become dangling. Actual trouble would be seen in the field only if a relcache flush occurred mid-query, but that's hardly out of the question. While we could fix this by copying all the data in question at query start, it seems better to just hold the relcache entry open for the whole query. While at it, improve the handling of support-function lookups: do that once per query not once per pruning test. There's still something to be desired here, in that we fail to exploit the possibility of caching data across queries in the fn_extra fields of the relcache's FmgrInfo structs, which could happen if we just used those structs in-place rather than copying them. However, combining that with the possibility of per-query lookups of cross-type comparison functions seems to require changes in the APIs of a lot of the pruning support functions, so it's too invasive to consider as part of this patch. A win would ensue only for complex partition key data types (e.g. arrays), so it may not be worth the trouble. David Rowley and Tom Lane Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/17850.1528755844@sss.pgh.pa.us
