2022-11-14Invent open_auth_file() in hba.c to refactor authentication file openingMichael Paquier
This adds a check on the recursion depth when including authentication configuration files, something that has never been done when processing '@' files for database and user name lists in pg_hba.conf. On HEAD, this was leading to a rather confusing error, as of: FATAL: exceeded maxAllocatedDescs (NN) while trying to open file "/path/blah.conf" This refactors the code so as the error reported is now the following, which is the same as for GUCs: FATAL: could not open file "/path/blah.conf": maximum nesting depth exceeded This reduces a bit the verbosity of the error message used for files included in user and database lists, reporting only the file name of what's failing to load, without mentioning the relative or absolute path specified after '@' in a HBA file. The absolute path is built upon what '@' defines anyway, so there is no actual loss of information. This makes the future inclusion logic much simpler. A follow-up patch will add an error context to be able to track on which line of which file the inclusion is failing, to close the loop, providing all the information needed to know the full chain of events. This logic has been extracted from a larger patch written by Julien, rewritten by me to have a unique code path calling AllocateFile() on authentication files, and is useful on its own. This new interface will be used later for authentication files included with @include[_dir,_if_exists], in a follow-up patch.

Instead of dozens of mostly-duplicate pg_foo_aclcheck() functions, write one common function object_aclcheck() that can handle almost all of them. We already have all the information we need, such as which system catalog corresponds to which catalog table and which column is the ACL column. There are a few pg_foo_aclcheck() that don't work via the generic function and have special APIs, so those stay as is. I also changed most pg_foo_aclmask() functions to static functions, since they are not used outside of aclchk.c.

2022-11-09Use AbsoluteConfigLocation() when building an included path in hba.cMichael Paquier
The code building an absolute path to a file included, as prefixed by '@' in authentication files, for user and database lists uses the same logic as for GUCs, except that it has no need to know about DataDir as there is always a calling file to rely to build the base directory path. The refactoring done in a1a7bb8 makes this move straight-forward, and unifies the code used for GUCs and authentication files, and the intention is to rely also on that for the upcoming patch to be able to include full files from HBA or ident files. Note that this gets rid of an inconsistency introduced in 370f909, that copied the logic coming from GUCs but applied it for files included in authentication files, where the result buffer given to join_path_components() must have a size of MAXPGPATH. Based on a double-check of the existing code, all the other callers of join_path_components() already do that, except the code path changed here.

2022-11-07Move code related to configuration files in directories to new fileMichael Paquier
The code in charge of listing and classifying a set of configuration files in a directory was located in guc-file.l, being used currently for GUCs under "include_dir". This code is planned to be used for an upcoming feature able to include configuration files for ident and HBA files from a directory, similarly to GUCs. In both cases, the file names, suffixed by ".conf", have to be ordered alphabetically. This logic is moved to a new file, called conffiles.c, so as it is easier to share this facility between GUCs and the HBA/ident parsing logic.

2022-11-02Add doubly linked count list implementationDavid Rowley
We have various requirements when using a dlist_head to keep track of the number of items in the list. This, traditionally, has been done by maintaining a counter variable in the calling code. Here we tidy this up by adding "dclist", which is very similar to dlist but also keeps track of the number of items stored in the list. Callers may use the new dclist_count() function when they need to know how many items are stored. Obtaining the count is an O(1) operation. For simplicity reasons, dclist and dlist both use dlist_node as their node type and dlist_iter/dlist_mutable_iter as their iterator type. dclists have all of the same functionality as dlists except there is no function named dclist_delete(). To remove an item from a list dclist_delete_from() must be used. This requires knowing which dclist the given item is stored in. Additionally, here we also convert some dlists where additional code exists to keep track of the number of items stored and to make these use dclists instead.

2022-10-31Add check on initial and boot values when loading GUCsMichael Paquier
This commit adds a function to perform a cross-check between the initial value of the C declaration associated to a GUC and its actual boot value in assert-enabled builds. The purpose of this is to prevent anybody reading these C declarations from being fooled by mismatched values before they are loaded at program startup. The following rules apply depending on the GUC type: * bool - can be false, or same as boot_val. * int - can be 0, or same as the boot_val. * real - can be 0.0, or same as the boot_val. * string - can be NULL, or strcmp'd equal to the boot_val. * enum - equal to the boot_val. This is done for the system as well custom GUCs loaded by external modules, which may require extension developers to adapt the C declaration of the variables used by these GUCs (testing this change with some of my own modules has allowed me to catch some stupid typos, FWIW). This may finish by being a bad experiment depending on the feedbcak received, but let's see how it goes.

This is similar to 7d25958, and this commit takes care of all the remaining inconsistencies between the initial value used in the C variable associated to a GUC and its default value stored in the GUC tables (as of pg_settings.boot_val). Some of the initial values of the GUCs updated rely on a compile-time default. These are refactored so as the GUC table and its C declaration use the same values.

2022-10-28Allow nodeSort to perform Datum sorts for byref typesDavid Rowley
Here we add a new 'copy' parameter to tuplesort_getdatum so that we can instruct the function not to datumCopy() byref Datums before returning. Similar to 91e9e89dc, this can provide significant performance improvements in nodeSort when sorting by a single byref column and the sort's targetlist contains only that column. This allows us to re-enable Datum sorts for byref types which was disabled in 3a5817695 due to a reported memory leak. Additionally, here we slightly optimize DISTINCT aggregates so that we no longer perform any datumCopy() when we find the current value not to be distinct from the previous value. Previously the code would always take a copy of the most recent Datum and pfree the previous value, even when the values were the same. Testing shows a small but noticeable performance increase when aggregate transitions are skipped due to the current transition value being the same as the prior one.

2022-10-26Add rule_number to pg_hba_file_rules and map_number to pg_ident_file_mappingsMichael Paquier
These numbers are strictly-monotone identifiers assigned to each rule of pg_hba_file_rules and each map of pg_ident_file_mappings when loading the HBA and ident configuration files, indicating the order in which they are checked at authentication time, until a match is found. With only one file loaded currently, this is equivalent to the line numbers assigned to the entries loaded if one wants to know their order, but this becomes mandatory once the inclusion of external files is added to the HBA and ident files to be able to know in which order the rules and/or maps are applied at authentication. Note that NULL is used when a HBA or ident entry cannot be parsed or validated, aka when an error exists, contrary to the line number. Bump catalog version.

2022-10-20Improve the accuracy of numeric power() for integer exponents.Dean Rasheed
This makes the choice of result scale of numeric power() for integer exponents consistent with the choice for non-integer exponents, and with the result scale of other numeric functions. Specifically, the result scale will be at least as large as the scale of either input, and sufficient to ensure that the result has at least 16 significant digits. Formerly, the result scale was based only on the scale of the first input, without taking into account the weight of the result. For results with negative weight, that could lead to results with very few or even no non-zero significant digits (e.g., 10.0 ^ (-18) produced 0.0000000000000000). Fix this by moving responsibility for the choice of result scale into power_var_int(), which already has code to estimate the result weight. Per report by Adrian Klaver and suggested fix by Tom Lane. No back-patch -- arguably this is a bug fix, but one which is easy to work around, so it doesn't seem worth the risk of changing query results in stable branches.

2022-10-19Refactor regular expression handling in hba.cMichael Paquier
AuthToken gains a regular expression, and IdentLine is changed so as it uses an AuthToken rather than tracking separately the ident user string used for the regex compilation and its generated regex_t. In the case of pg_ident.conf, a set of AuthTokens is built in the pre-parsing phase of the file, and an extra regular expression is compiled when building the list of IdentLines, after checking the sanity of the fields in a pre-parsed entry. The logic in charge of computing and executing regular expressions is now done in a new set of routines called respectively regcomp_auth_token() and regexec_auth_token() that are wrappers around pg_regcomp() and pg_regexec(), working on AuthTokens. While on it, this patch adds a routine able to free an AuthToken, free_auth_token(), to simplify a bit the logic around the requirement of using a specific free routine for computed regular expressions. Note that there are no functional or behavior changes introduced by this commit. The goal of this patch is to ease the use of regular expressions with more items of pg_hba.conf (user list, database list, potentially hostnames) where AuthTokens are used extensively. This will be tackled later in a separate patch. Author: Bertrand Drouvot, Michael Paquier Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/fff0d7c1-8ad4-76a1-9db3-0ab6ec338bf7@amazon.com

2022-10-16Fix EXPLAIN of SEARCH BREADTH FIRST with a constant initial value.Tom Lane
If the non-recursive term of a SEARCH BREADTH FIRST recursive query has only constants in its target list, the planner will fold the starting RowExpr added by rewrite into a simple Const of type RECORD. The executor doesn't have any problem with that --- but EXPLAIN VERBOSE will encounter the Const as the ultimate source of truth about what the field names of the SET column are, and it didn't know what to do with that. Fortunately, we can pull the identifying typmod out of the Const, in much the same way that record_out would. For reasons that remain a bit obscure to me, this only fails with SEARCH BREADTH FIRST, not SEARCH DEPTH FIRST or CYCLE. But I added regression test cases for both of those options too, just to make sure we don't break it in future. Per bug #17644 from Matthijs van der Vleuten.

2022-10-14pgstat: Track time of the last scan of a relationAndres Freund

It was already possible to infer the time of the last usage by tracking, e.g., pg_stat_all_indexes.idx_scan over time. But far from everybody does so. To make it easier to detect the last time a relation has been scanned, track that time in each relation's pgstat entry. To minimize overhead a) the timestamp is updated only when the backend pending stats entry is flushed to shared stats b) the last transaction's stop timestamp is used as the timestamp.

2022-10-14Add auxiliary lists to GUC data structures for better performance.Tom Lane
The previous patch made addition of new GUCs cheap, but other GUC operations aren't improved and indeed get a bit slower, because hash_seq_search() is slower than just scanning a pointer array. However, most performance-critical GUC operations only need to touch a relatively small fraction of the GUCs; especially so for AtEOXact_GUC(). We can improve matters at the cost of a bit more space by adding dlist or slist links to the GUC data structures. This patch invents lists that track (1) all GUCs with non-default "source"; (2) all GUCs with nonempty state stack (implying they've been changed in the current transaction); (3) all GUCs due for reporting to the client. All of guc.c's performance-critical cases can make use of one or another of these lists to avoid searching the whole hash table. In particular, the stack list means that transaction end doesn't take time proportional to the number of GUCs, but only to the number changed in the current transaction.

2022-10-14Replace the sorted array of GUC variables with a hash table.Tom Lane
This gets rid of bsearch() in favor of hashed lookup. The main advantage is that it becomes far cheaper to add new GUCs, since we needn't re-sort the pointer array. Adding N new GUCs had been O(N^2 log N), but now it's closer to O(N). We need to sort only in SHOW ALL and equivalent functions, which are hopefully not performance-critical to anybody. Also, merge GetNumConfigOptions() into get_guc_variables(), because in a world where the set of GUCs isn't fairly static you really want to consider those two results as tied together not independent.

2022-10-14Store GUC data in a memory context, instead of using malloc().Tom Lane
The only real argument for using malloc directly was that we needed the ability to not throw error on OOM; but mcxt.c grew that feature awhile ago. Keeping the data in a memory context improves accountability and debuggability --- for example, without this it's almost impossible to detect memory leaks in the GUC code with anything less costly than valgrind. Moreover, the next patch in this series will add a hash table for GUC lookup, and it'd be pretty silly to be using palloc-dependent hash facilities alongside malloc'd storage of the underlying data. This is a bit invasive though, in particular causing an API break for GUC check hooks that want to modify the GUC's value or use an "extra" data structure. They must now use guc_malloc() and guc_free() instead of malloc() and free(). Failure to change affected code will result in assertion failures or worse; but thanks to recent effort in the mcxt infrastructure, it shouldn't be too hard to diagnose such oversights (at least in assert-enabled builds). One note is that this changes ParseLongOption() to return short-lived palloc'd not malloc'd data. There wasn't any caller for which the previous definition was better.

Also, fix dynahash.c so that it can support HASH_ENTER_NULL requests when using the default palloc-based allocator.

2022-10-10Harden memory context allocators against bogus chunk pointers.Tom Lane
Before commit c6e0fe1f2, functions such as AllocSetFree could pretty safely presume that they were given a valid chunk pointer for their own type of context, because the indirect call through a memory context object and method struct would be very unlikely to work otherwise. But now, if pfree() is mistakenly invoked on a pointer to garbage, we have three chances in eight of ending up at one of these functions. That means we need to take extra measures to verify that we are looking at what we're supposed to be looking at, especially in debug builds. Hence, add code to verify that the chunk's back-link to a block header leads to a memory context object that satisfies the right sort of IsA() check. This is still a bit weaker than what we did before, but for the moment assume that an IsA() check is sufficient. As a compromise between speed and safety, implement these checks as Asserts when dealing with small chunks but plain test-and-elogs when dealing with large (external) chunks. The latter case should not be too performance-critical, but the former case probably is. In slab.c, all chunks are small; but nonetheless use a plain test in SlabRealloc, because that is certainly not performance-critical, indeed we should be suspicious that it's being called in error. In aset.c, additionally add some assertions that the "value" field of the chunk header is within the small range allowed for freelist indexes. Without that, we might find ourselves trying to wipe most of memory when CLOBBER_FREED_MEMORY is enabled, or scribbling on a "freelist header" that's far away from the context object. Eventually, field experience might show us that it's smarter for these tests to be active always, but for now we'll try to get away with just having them as assertions. While at it, also be more uniform about asserting that context objects passed as parameters are of the type we expect. Some places missed that altogether, and slab.c was for no very good reason doing it differently from the other allocators. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/3578387.1665244345@sss.pgh.pa.us

2022-10-08pgstat: Prevent stats reset from corrupting slotname by removing slotnameAndres Freund
Previously PgStat_StatReplSlotEntry contained the slotname, which was mainly used when writing out the stats during shutdown, to identify the slot in the serialized data (at runtime the index in ReplicationSlotCtl->replication_slots is used, but that can change during a restart). Unfortunately the slotname was overwritten when the slot's stats were reset. That turned out to only cause "real" problems if the slot was active during the reset, triggering an assertion failure at the next pgstat_report_replslot(). In other paths the stats were re-initialized during pgstat_acquire_replslot(). Fix this by removing slotname from PgStat_StatReplSlotEntry. Instead we can get the slot's name from the slot itself. Besides fixing a bug, this also is architecturally cleaner (a name is not really statistics). This is safe because stats, for a slot removed while shut down, will not be restored at startup. In 15 the slotname is not removed, but renamed, to avoid changing the stats format. In master, bump PGSTAT_FILE_FORMAT_ID. This commit does not contain a test for the fix. I think this can only be tested by a tap test starting pg_recvlogical in the background and checking pg_recvlogical's output. That type of test is notoriously hard to be reliable, so committing it shortly before the release is wrapped seems like a bad idea.

2022-10-06Improve our ability to detect bogus pointers passed to pfree et al.Tom Lane
Commit c6e0fe1f2 was a shade too trusting that any pointer passed to pfree, repalloc, etc will point at a valid chunk. Notably, passing a pointer that was actually obtained from malloc tended to result in obscure assertion failures, if not worse. (On FreeBSD I've seen such mistakes take down the entire cluster, seemingly as a result of clobbering shared memory.) To improve matters, extend the mcxt_methods[] array so that it has entries for every possible MemoryContextMethodID bit-pattern, with the currently unassigned ID codes pointing to error-reporting functions. Then, fiddle with the ID assignments so that patterns likely to be associated with bad pointers aren't valid ID codes. In particular, we should avoid assigning bit patterns 000 (zeroed memory) and 111 (wipe_mem'd memory). It turns out that on glibc (Linux), malloc uses chunk headers that have flag bits in the same place we keep MemoryContextMethodID, and that the bit patterns 000, 001, 010 are the only ones we'll see as long as the backend isn't threaded. So we can have very robust detection of pfree'ing a malloc-assigned block on that platform, at least so long as we can refrain from using up those ID codes. On other platforms, we don't have such a good guarantee, but keeping 000 reserved will be enough to catch many such cases. While here, make GetMemoryChunkMethodID() local to mcxt.c, as there seems no need for it to be exposed even in memutils_internal.h. Patch by me, with suggestions from Andres Freund and David Rowley.

2022-10-06Create subscription stats entry at CREATE SUBSCRIPTION timeAndres Freund
Previously, the subscription stats entry was created when the first stats, i.e., an error on apply worker or tablesync worker, were reported. Therefore, the stats_reset field was not updated by pg_stat_reset_subscription_stats() if the stats entry was not populated yet, which was different behavior than other statistics. This change creates the subscription stats entry and initializes it at CREATE SUBSCRIPTION time.

2022-10-06Remove MemoryContextContains().Tom Lane
MemoryContextContains is no longer reliable in the wake of c6e0fe1f2, because there's no longer very much redundancy in chunk headers. (It wasn't *completely* reliable even before that, as there was a chance of a false positive if you passed it something that didn't point to an mcxt chunk at all. But it was generally good enough.) Hence, remove it. There is no remaining core code that requires it. Extensions that have been using it might be able to substitute a test like "GetMemoryChunkContext(ptr) == context", recognizing that this explicitly requires that the pointer point to some chunk.

2022-10-06Introduce t_isalnum() to replace t_isalpha() || t_isdigit() tests.Tom Lane
ts_locale.c omitted support for "isalnum" tests, perhaps on the grounds that there were initially no use-cases for that. However, both ltree and pg_trgm need such tests, and we do also have one use-case now in the core backend. The workaround of testing isalpha and isdigit separately seems quite inefficient, especially when dealing with multibyte characters; so let's fill in the missing support.

2022-10-05meson: Add windows resource filesAndres Freund
The generated resource files aren't exactly the same ones as the old buildsystems generate. Previously "InternalName" and "OriginalFileName" were mostly wrong / not set (despite being required), but that was hard to fix in at least the make build. Additionally, the meson build falls back to a "auto-generated" description when not set, and doesn't set it in a few cases - unlikely that anybody looks at these descriptions in detail.

2022-10-03Revert "Optimize order of GROUP BY keys".Tom Lane
This reverts commit db0d67db2401eb6238ccc04c6407a4fd4f985832 and several follow-on fixes. The idea of making a cost-based choice of the order of the sorting columns is not fundamentally unsound, but it requires cost information and data statistics that we don't really have. For example, relying on procost to distinguish the relative costs of different sort comparators is pretty pointless so long as most such comparator functions are labeled with cost 1.0. Moreover, estimating the number of comparisons done by Quicksort requires more than just an estimate of the number of distinct values in the input: you also need some idea of the sizes of the larger groups, if you want an estimate that's good to better than a factor of three or so. That's data that's often unknown or not very reliable. Worse, to arrive at estimates of the number of calls made to the lower-order-column comparison functions, the code needs to make estimates of the numbers of distinct values of multiple columns, which are necessarily even less trustworthy than per-column stats. Even if all the inputs are perfectly reliable, the cost algorithm as-implemented cannot offer useful information about how to order sorting columns beyond the point at which the average group size is estimated to drop to 1. Close inspection of the code added by db0d67db2 shows that there are also multiple small bugs. These could have been fixed, but there's not much point if we don't trust the estimates to be accurate in-principle. Finally, the changes in cost_sort's behavior made for very large changes (often a factor of 2 or so) in the cost estimates for all sorting operations, not only those for multi-column GROUP BY. That naturally changes plan choices in many situations, and there's precious little evidence to show that the changes are for the better. Given the above doubts about whether the new estimates are really trustworthy, it's hard to summon much confidence that these changes are better on the average. Since we're hard up against the release deadline for v15, let's revert these changes for now. We can always try again later. Note: in v15, I left T_PathKeyInfo in place in nodes.h even though it's unreferenced. Removing it would be an ABI break, and it seems a bit late in the release cycle for that.

2022-09-29Use actual backend IDs in pg_stat_get_backend_idset() and friends.Tom Lane
Up to now, the ID values returned by pg_stat_get_backend_idset() and used by pg_stat_get_backend_activity() and allied functions were just indexes into a local array of sessions seen by the last stats refresh. This is problematic for a few reasons. The "ID" of a session can vary over its existence, which is surprising. Also, while these numbers often match the "backend ID" used for purposes like temp schema assignment, that isn't reliably true. We can fairly cheaply switch things around to make these numbers actually be the sessions' backend IDs. The added test case illustrates that with this definition, the temp schema used by a given session can be obtained given its PID. While here, delete some dead code that guarded against getting a NULL return from pgstat_fetch_stat_local_beentry(). That can't happen as long as the caller is careful to pass an in-range array index, as all the callers are. (This code may not have been dead when written, but it surely is now.)

2022-09-29Introduce SYSTEM_USERMichael Paquier
SYSTEM_USER is a reserved keyword of the SQL specification that, roughly described, is aimed at reporting some information about the system user who has connected to the database server. It may include implementation-specific information about the means by the user connected, like an authentication method. This commit implements SYSTEM_USER as of auth_method:identity, where "auth_method" is a keyword about the authentication method used to log into the server (like peer, md5, scram-sha-256, gss, etc.) and "identity" is the authentication identity as introduced by 9afffcb (peer sets authn to the OS user name, gss to the user principal, etc.). This format has been suggested by Tom Lane. Note that thanks to d951052, SYSTEM_USER is available to parallel workers. Bump catalog version.

2022-09-29Restore pg_pread and friends.Thomas Munro
Commits cf112c12 and a0dc8271 were a little too hasty in getting rid of the pg_ prefixes where we use pread(), pwrite() and vectored variants. We dropped support for ancient Unixes where we needed to use lseek() to implement replacements for those, but it turns out that Windows also changes the current position even when you pass in an offset to ReadFile() and WriteFile() if the file handle is synchronous, despite its documentation saying otherwise. Switching to asynchronous file handles would fix that, but have other complications. For now let's just put back the pg_ prefix and add some comments to highlight the non-standard side-effect, which we can now describe as Windows-only.

2022-09-28Allow callback functions to deregister themselves during a call.Tom Lane
Fetch the next-item pointer before the call not after, so that we aren't dereferencing a dangling pointer if the callback deregistered itself during the call. The risky coding pattern appears in CallXactCallbacks, CallSubXactCallbacks, and ResourceOwnerReleaseInternal. (There are some other places that might be at hazard if they offered deregistration functionality, but they don't.) I (tgl) considered back-patching this, but desisted because it wouldn't be very safe for extensions to rely on this working in pre-v16 branches.

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.
2022-09-28Revert 56-bit relfilenode change and follow-up commits.Robert Haas
There are still some alignment-related failures in the buildfarm, which might or might not be able to be fixed quickly, but I've also just realized that it increased the size of many WAL records by 4 bytes because a block reference contains a RelFileLocator. The effect of that hasn't been studied or discussed, so revert for now.
