2017-04-10Use weaker locks when updating pg_subscription_relPeter Eisentraut
The previously used ShareRowExclusiveLock, while technically probably more correct, led to deadlocks during seemingly unrelated operations and thus a poor experience. Use RowExclusiveLock, like for most similar catalog operations. In some care cases, the user might see an error from DDL commands.

2017-04-10Improve castNode notation by introducing list-extraction-specific variants.Tom Lane
This extends the castNode() notation introduced by commit 5bcab1114 to provide, in one step, extraction of a list cell's pointer and coercion to a concrete node type. For example, "lfirst_node(Foo, lc)" is the same as "castNode(Foo, lfirst(lc))". Almost half of the uses of castNode that have appeared so far include a list extraction call, so this is pretty widely useful, and it saves a few more keystrokes compared to the old way. As with the previous patch, back-patch the addition of these macros to pg_list.h, so that the notation will be available when back-patching. Patch by me, after an idea of Andrew Gierth's.

2017-04-10Move isolationtester's is-blocked query into C code for speed.Tom Lane
Commit 4deb41381 modified isolationtester's query to see whether a session is blocked to also check for waits occurring in GetSafeSnapshot. However, it did that in a way that enormously increased the query's runtime under CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS, causing the buildfarm members that use that to run about four times slower than before, and in some cases fail entirely. To fix, push the entire logic into a dedicated backend function. This should actually reduce the CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS runtime from what it was previously, though I've not checked that. In passing, expose a SQL function to check for safe-snapshot blockage, comparable to pg_blocking_pids. This is more or less free given the infrastructure built to solve the other problem, so we might as well.

2017-04-07Optimize joins when the inner relation can be proven unique.Tom Lane
If there can certainly be no more than one matching inner row for a given outer row, then the executor can move on to the next outer row as soon as it's found one match; there's no need to continue scanning the inner relation for this outer row. This saves useless scanning in nestloop and hash joins. In merge joins, it offers the opportunity to skip mark/restore processing, because we know we have not advanced past the first possible match for the next outer row. Of course, the devil is in the details: the proof of uniqueness must depend only on joinquals (not otherquals), and if we want to skip mergejoin mark/restore then it must depend only on merge clauses. To avoid adding more planning overhead than absolutely necessary, the present patch errs in the conservative direction: there are cases where inner_unique or skip_mark_restore processing could be used, but it will not do so because it's not sure that the uniqueness proof depended only on "safe" clauses. This could be improved later. David Rowley, reviewed and rather heavily editorialized on by me Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAApHDvqF6Sw-TK98bW48TdtFJ+3a7D2mFyZ7++=D-RyPsL76gw@mail.gmail.com

2017-04-07Fix planner error (or assert trap) with nested set operations.Tom Lane
As reported by Sean Johnston in bug #14614, since 9.6 the planner can fail due to trying to look up the referent of a Var with varno 0. This happens because we generate such Vars in generate_append_tlist, for lack of any better way to describe the output of a SetOp node. In typical situations nothing really cares about that, but given nested set-operation queries we will call estimate_num_groups on the output of the subquery, and that wants to know what a Var actually refers to. That logic used to look at subquery->targetList, but in commit 3fc6e2d7f I'd switched it to look at subroot->processed_tlist, ie the actual output of the subquery plan not the parser's idea of the result. It seemed like a good idea at the time :-(. As a band-aid fix, change it back. Really we ought to have an honest way of naming the outputs of SetOp steps, which suggests that it'd be a good idea for the parser to emit an RTE corresponding to each one. But that's a task for another day, and it certainly wouldn't yield a back-patchable fix. Report: https://postgr.es/m/20170407115808.25934.51866@wrigleys.postgresql.org
2017-04-07Use SASLprep to normalize passwords for SCRAM authentication.Heikki Linnakangas
An important step of SASLprep normalization, is to convert the string to Unicode normalization form NFKC. Unicode normalization requires a fairly large table of character decompositions, which is generated from data published by the Unicode consortium. The script to generate the table is put in src/common/unicode, as well test code for the normalization. A pre-generated version of the tables is included in src/include/common, so you don't need the code in src/common/unicode to build PostgreSQL, only if you wish to modify the normalization tables. The SASLprep implementation depends on the UTF-8 functions from src/backend/utils/mb/wchar.c. So to use it, you must also compile and link that. That doesn't change anything for the current users of these functions, the backend and libpq, as they both already link with wchar.o. It would be good to move those functions into a separate file in src/commmon, but I'll leave that for another day. No documentation changes included, because there is no details on the SCRAM mechanism in the docs anyway. An overview on that in the protocol specification would probably be good, even though SCRAM is documented in detail in RFC5802. I'll write that as a separate patch. An important thing to mention there is that we apply SASLprep even on invalid UTF-8 strings, to support other encodings. Patch by Michael Paquier and me.

2017-04-06Clean up after insufficiently-researched optimization of tuple conversions.Tom Lane
tupconvert.c's functions formerly considered that an explicit tuple conversion was necessary if the input and output tupdescs contained different type OIDs. The point of that was to make sure that a composite datum resulting from the conversion would contain the destination rowtype OID in its composite-datum header. However, commit 3838074f8 entirely misunderstood what that check was for, thinking that it had something to do with presence or absence of an OID column within the tuple. Removal of the check broke the no-op conversion path in ExecEvalConvertRowtype, as reported by Ashutosh Bapat. It turns out that of the dozen or so call sites for tupconvert.c functions, ExecEvalConvertRowtype is the only one that cares about the composite-datum header fields in the output tuple. In all the rest, we'd much rather avoid an unnecessary conversion whenever the tuples are physically compatible. Moreover, the comments in tupconvert.c only promise physical compatibility not a metadata match. So, let's accept the removal of the guarantee about the output tuple's rowtype marking, recognizing that this is a API change that could conceivably break third-party callers of tupconvert.c. (So, let's remember to mention it in the v10 release notes.) However, commit 3838074f8 did have a bit of a point here, in that two tuples mustn't be considered physically compatible if one has HEAP_HASOID set and the other doesn't. (Some of the callers of tupconvert.c might not really care about that, but we can't assume it in general.) The previous check accidentally covered that issue, because no RECORD types ever have OIDs, while if two tupdescs have the same named composite type OID then, a fortiori, they have the same tdhasoid setting. If we're removing the type OID match check then we'd better include tdhasoid match as part of the physical compatibility check. Without that hack in tupconvert.c, we need ExecEvalConvertRowtype to take responsibility for inserting the correct rowtype OID label whenever tupconvert.c decides it need not do anything. This is easily done with heap_copy_tuple_as_datum, which will be considerably faster than a tuple disassembly and reassembly anyway; so from a performance standpoint this change is a win all around compared to what happened in earlier branches. It just means a couple more lines of code in ExecEvalConvertRowtype. Ashutosh Bapat and Tom Lane Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAFjFpRfvHABV6+oVvGcshF8rHn+1LfRUhj7Jz1CDZ4gPUwehBg@mail.gmail.com

2017-04-06Allow avoiding tuple copy within tuplesort_gettupleslot().Andres Freund
Add a "copy" argument to make it optional to receive a copy of caller tuple that is safe to use following a subsequent manipulating of tuplesort's state. This is a performance optimization. Most existing tuplesort_gettupleslot() callers are made to opt out of copying. Existing callers that happen to rely on the validity of tuple memory beyond subsequent manipulations of the tuplesort request their own copy. This brings tuplesort_gettupleslot() in line with tuplestore_gettupleslot(). In the future, a "copy" tuplesort_getdatum() argument may be added, that similarly allows callers to opt out of receiving their own copy of tuple. In passing, clarify assumptions that callers of other tuplesort fetch routines may make about tuple memory validity, per gripe from Tom Lane.

2017-04-06Fix logical replication between different encodingsPeter Eisentraut
When sending a tuple attribute, the previous coding erroneously sent the length byte before encoding conversion, which would lead to protocol failures on the receiving side if the length did not match the following string. To fix that, use pq_sendcountedtext() for sending tuple attributes, which takes care of all of that internally. To match the API of pq_sendcountedtext(), send even text values without a trailing zero byte and have the receiving end put it in place instead. This matches how the standard FE/BE protocol behaves.

2017-04-05Fix integer-overflow problems in interval comparison.Tom Lane
When using integer timestamps, the interval-comparison functions tried to compute the overall magnitude of an interval as an int64 number of microseconds. As reported by Frazer McLean, this overflows for intervals exceeding about 296000 years, which is bad since we nominally allow intervals many times larger than that. That results in wrong comparison results, and possibly in corrupted btree indexes for columns containing such large interval values. To fix, compute the magnitude as int128 instead. Although some compilers have native support for int128 calculations, many don't, so create our own support functions that can do 128-bit addition and multiplication if the compiler support isn't there. These support functions are designed with an eye to allowing the int128 code paths in numeric.c to be rewritten for use on all platforms, although this patch doesn't do that, or even provide all the int128 primitives that will be needed for it. Back-patch as far as 9.4. Earlier releases did not guard against overflow of interval values at all (commit 146604ec4 fixed that), so it seems not very exciting to worry about overly-large intervals for them. Before 9.6, we did not assume that unreferenced "static inline" functions would not draw compiler warnings, so omit functions not directly referenced by timestamp.c, the only present consumer of int128.h. (We could have omitted these functions in HEAD too, but since they were written and debugged on the way to the present patch, and they look likely to be needed by numeric.c, let's keep them in HEAD.) I did not bother to try to prevent such warnings in a --disable-integer-datetimes build, though. Before 9.5, configure will never define HAVE_INT128, so the part of int128.h that exploits a native int128 implementation is dead code in the 9.4 branch. I didn't bother to remove it, thinking that keeping the file looking similar in different branches is more useful. In HEAD only, add a simple test harness for int128.h in src/tools/. In back branches, this does not change the float-timestamps code path. That's not subject to the same kind of overflow risk, since it computes the interval magnitude as float8. (No doubt, when this code was originally written, overflow was disregarded for exactly that reason.) There is a precision hazard instead :-(, but we'll avert our eyes from that question, since no complaints have been reported and that code's deprecated anyway.

Commit 59702716 added transition table support to PL/pgsql so that SQL queries in trigger functions could access those transient tables. In order to provide the same level of support for PL/perl, PL/python and PL/tcl, refactor the relevant code into a new function SPI_register_trigger_data. Call the new function in the trigger handler of all four PLs, and document it as a public SPI function so that authors of out-of-tree PLs can do the same. Also get rid of a second QueryEnvironment object that was maintained by PL/pgsql. That was previously used to deal with cursors, but the same approach wasn't appropriate for PLs that are less tangled up with core code. Instead, have SPI_cursor_open install the connection's current QueryEnvironment, as already happens for SPI_execute_plan.
