2017-05-30brin: Don't crash on auto-summarizationAlvaro Herrera
We were trying to free a pointer into a shared buffer, which never works; and we were failing to release the buffer lock appropriately. Fix those omissions. While at it, improve documentation for brinGetTupleForHeapBlock, the inadequacy of which evidently caused these bugs in the first place. Reported independently by Zhou Digoal (bug #14668) and Alexander Sosna.

2017-05-30Fix omission of locations in outfuncs/readfuncs partitioning node support.Tom Lane
We could have limped along without this for v10, which was my intention when I annotated the bug in commit 76a3df6e5. But consensus is that it's better to fix it now and take the cost of a post-beta1 initdb (which is needed because these node types are stored in pg_class.relpartbound). Since we're forcing initdb anyway, take the opportunity to make the node type identification strings match the node struct names, instead of being randomly different from them.

2017-05-29Fix improper quoting of format_type_be() output.Tom Lane

2017-05-29Make edge-case behavior of jsonb_populate_record match json_populate_recordTom Lane
json_populate_record throws an error if asked to convert a JSON scalar or array into a composite type. jsonb_populate_record was returning a record full of NULL fields instead. It seems better to make it throw an error for this case as well. Nikita Glukhov Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/fbd1d566-bba0-a3de-d6d0-d3b1d7c24ff2@postgrespro.ru
2017-05-29Fix thinko in JsObjectSize() macro.Tom Lane
The macro gave the wrong answers for a JsObject with is_json == 0: it would return 1 if jsonb_cont == NULL, or if that wasn't NULL, it would return 1 for any non-zero size. We could fix that, but the only use of this macro at present is in the JsObjectIsEmpty() macro, so it seems simpler and clearer to get rid of JsObjectSize() and put corrected logic into JsObjectIsEmpty(). Thinko in commit cf35346e8, so no need for back-patch. Nikita Glukhov Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/fbd1d566-bba0-a3de-d6d0-d3b1d7c24ff2@postgrespro.ru
2017-05-29Allow NumericOnly to be "+ FCONST".Tom Lane
The NumericOnly grammar production accepted ICONST, + ICONST, - ICONST, FCONST, and - FCONST, but for some reason not + FCONST. This led to strange inconsistencies like regression=# set random_page_cost = +4; SET regression=# set random_page_cost = 4000000000; SET regression=# set random_page_cost = +4000000000; ERROR: syntax error at or near "4000000000" (because 4000000000 is too large to be an ICONST). While there's no actual functional reason to need to write a "+", if we allow it for integers it seems like we should allow it for numerics too. It's been like that forever, so back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/30908.1496006184@sss.pgh.pa.us
2017-05-29More code review for get_qual_for_list().Tom Lane
Avoid trashing the input PartitionBoundSpec; while that might be safe for current callers, it's certainly trouble waiting to happen. In the same vein, make sure that all of the result data structure is freshly palloc'd, rather than some of it being pointers into the input data structures (which we don't know the lifespans of). Simplify the logic for tacking on IS NULL or IS NOT NULL conditions some more; commit 85c2b9a15 left a lot on the table there. And rearrange the construction of the nodes into (what seems to me) a more logical order. In passing, make sure that get_qual_for_range() also returns a freshly palloc'd structure, since there's no value in having that guarantee for only one kind of partitioning. And improve some comments there. Jeevan Ladhe, with further tweaking by me Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAOgcT0MAcYoMs93W80iTUf_dP36=1mZQzeUk+nnwY_-qWDrCfw@mail.gmail.com

2017-05-28Code review focused on new node types added by partitioning support.Tom Lane
Fix failure to check that we got a plain Const from const-simplification of a coercion request. This is the cause of bug #14666 from Tian Bing: there is an int4 to money cast, but it's only stable not immutable (because of dependence on lc_monetary), resulting in a FuncExpr that the code was miserably unequipped to deal with, or indeed even to notice that it was failing to deal with. Add test cases around this coercion behavior. In view of the above, sprinkle the code liberally with castNode() macros, in hope of catching the next such bug a bit sooner. Also, change some functions that were randomly declared to take Node* to take more specific pointer types. And change some struct fields that were declared Node* but could be given more specific types, allowing removal of assorted explicit casts. Place PARTITION_MAX_KEYS check a bit closer to the code it's protecting. Likewise check only-one-key-for-list-partitioning restriction in a less random place. Avoid not-per-project-style usages like !strcmp(...). Fix assorted failures to avoid scribbling on the input of parse transformation. I'm not sure how necessary this is, but it's entirely silly for these functions to be expending cycles to avoid that and not getting it right. Add guards against partitioning on system columns. Put backend/nodes/ support code into an order that matches handling of these node types elsewhere. Annotate the fact that somebody added location fields to PartitionBoundSpec and PartitionRangeDatum but forgot to handle them in outfuncs.c/readfuncs.c. This is fairly harmless for production purposes (since readfuncs.c would just substitute -1 anyway) but it's still bogus. It's not worth forcing a post-beta1 initdb just to fix this, but if we have another reason to force initdb before 10.0, we should go back and clean this up. Contrariwise, somebody added location fields to PartitionElem and PartitionSpec but forgot to teach exprLocation() about them. Consolidate duplicative code in transformPartitionBound(). Improve a couple of error messages. Improve assorted commentary. Re-pgindent the files touched by this patch; this affects a few comment blocks that must have been added quite recently.

2017-05-24Fix table syncing with different column orderPeter Eisentraut
Logical replication supports replicating between tables with different column order. But this failed for the initial table sync because of a logic error in how the column list for the internal COPY command was composed. Fix that and also add a test. Also fix a minor omission in the column name mapping cache. When creating the mapping list, it would not skip locally dropped columns. So if a remote column had the same name as a locally dropped column (...pg.dropped...), then the expected error would not occur.

2017-05-24Tighten checks for whitespace in functions that parse identifiers etc.Tom Lane
This patch replaces isspace() calls with scanner_isspace() in functions that are likely to be presented with non-ASCII input. isspace() has the small advantage that it will correctly recognize no-break space in single-byte encodings (such as LATIN1); but it cannot work successfully for any multibyte character, and depending on platform it might return false positive results for some fragments of multibyte characters. That's disastrous for functions that are trying to discard whitespace between valid strings, as noted in bug #14662 from Justin Muise. Even treating no-break space as whitespace is pretty questionable for the usages touched here, because the core scanner would think it is an identifier character. Affected functions are parse_ident(), parseNameAndArgTypes (underlying regprocedurein() and siblings), SplitIdentifierString (used for parsing GUCs and options that are qualified names or lists of names), and SplitDirectoriesString (used for parsing GUCs that are lists of directories). All the functions adjusted here are parsing SQL identifiers and similar constructs, so it's reasonable to insist that their definition of whitespace match the core scanner. So we can hope that this won't cause many backwards-compatibility problems. I've left alone isspace() calls in places that aren't really expecting any non-ASCII input characters, such as float8in(). Back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/10129.1495302480@sss.pgh.pa.us

2017-05-21Fix precision and rounding issues in money multiplication and division.Tom Lane
The cash_div_intX functions applied rint() to the result of the division. That's not merely useless (because the result is already an integer) but it causes precision loss for values larger than 2^52 or so, because of the forced conversion to float8. On the other hand, the cash_mul_fltX functions neglected to apply rint() to their multiplication results, thus possibly causing off-by-one outputs. Per C standard, arithmetic between any integral value and a float value is performed in float format. Thus, cash_mul_flt4 and cash_div_flt4 produced answers good to only about six digits, even when the float value is exact. We can improve matters noticeably by widening the float inputs to double. (It's tempting to consider using "long double" arithmetic if available, but that's probably too much of a stretch for a back-patched fix.) Also, document that cash_div_intX operators truncate rather than round. Per bug #14663 from Richard Pistole. Back-patch to all supported branches.

2017-05-19Rethink flex flags for syncrep_scanner.l.Tom Lane
Using flex's -i switch to achieve case-insensitivity is not a very safe practice, because the scanner's behavior may then depend on the locale that flex was invoked in. In the particular example at hand, that's not academic: the possible matches for "FIRST" will be different in a Turkish locale than elsewhere. Do it the hard way instead, as our other scanners do. Also, drop use of -b -CF -p, because this scanner is only used when parsing the contents of a GUC variable. That's not done often, and the amount of text to be parsed can be expected to be trivial, so prioritizing scanner speed over code size seems like quite the wrong tradeoff. Using flex's default optimization options reduces the size of syncrep_gram.o by more than 50%. The case-insensitivity problem is new in HEAD (cf commit 3901fd70c). The poor choice of optimization flags exists also in 9.6, but it doesn't seem important enough to back-patch. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/24403.1495225931@sss.pgh.pa.us

2017-05-19Fix corruption of tableElts list by MergeAttributes().Robert Haas
Since commit e7b3349a8ad7afaad565c573fbd65fb46af6abbe, MergeAttributes destructively modifies the input List, to which the caller's CreateStmt still points. One may wonder whether this was already a bug, but commit f0e44751d7175fa3394da2c8f85e3ceb3cdbfe63 made things noticeably worse by adding additional destructive modifications so that the caller's List might, in the case of creation a partitioned table, no longer even be structurally valid. Restore the status quo ante by assigning the return value of MergeAttributes back to stmt->tableElts in the caller. In most of the places where DefineRelation is called, it doesn't matter what stmt->tableElts points to here or whether it's valid or not, because the caller doesn't use the statement for anything after DefineRelation returns anyway. However, ProcessUtilitySlow passes it to EventTriggerCollectSimpleCommand, and that function tries to invoke copyObject on it. If any of the CreateStmt's substructure is invalid at that point, undefined behavior will result. One might wonder whether this whole area needs further revision - perhaps DefineRelation() ought not to be destructively modifying the caller-provided CreateStmt at all. However, that would be a behavior change for any event triggers using C code to inspect the CreateStmt, so for now, just fix the crash. Report by Amit Langote, who provided a somewhat different patch for it. Discussion: http://postgr.es/m/bf6a39a7-100a-74bd-1156-3c16a1429d88@lab.ntt.co.jp

2017-05-18Don't explicitly mark range partitioning columns NOT NULL.Robert Haas
This seemed like a good idea originally because there's no way to mark a range partition as accepting NULL, but that now seems more like a current limitation than something we want to lock down for all time. For example, there's a proposal to add the notion of a default partition which accepts all rows not otherwise routed, which directly conflicts with the idea that a range-partitioned table should never allow nulls anywhere. So let's change this while we still can, by putting the NOT NULL test into the partition constraint instead of changing the column properties.

2017-05-16Try to ensure that stats collector's receive buffer size is at least 100KB.Tom Lane
Since commit 4e37b3e15, buildfarm member frogmouth has been failing occasionally with symptoms indicating that some expected stats data is getting dropped. The reason that that commit changed the behavior seems probably to be that more data is getting shoved at the collector in a short span of time. In current sources, the stats test's first session sends about 9KB of data while exiting, which is probably the same as what was sent just before wait_for_stats() in the previous test design. But now, the test's second session is starting up concurrently, and it sends another 2KB (presumably reflecting its initial catalog accesses). Since frogmouth is running on Windows XP, which reputedly has a default socket receive buffer size of only 8KB, it is not very surprising if this has put us over the threshold where the receive buffer can overflow and drop messages. The same mechanism could very easily explain the intermittent stats test failures we've been seeing for years, since background processes such as the bgwriter will sometimes send data concurrently with all this, and could thus cause occasional buffer overflows. Hence, insert some code into pgstat_init() to increase the stats socket's receive buffer size to 100KB if it's less than that. (On failure, emit a LOG message, but keep going.) Modern systems seem to have default sizes in the range of 100KB-250KB, but older platforms don't. I couldn't find any platforms that wouldn't accept 100KB, so in theory this won't cause any portability problems. If this is successful at reducing the buildfarm failure rate in HEAD, we should back-patch it, because it's certain that similar buffer overflows happen in the field on platforms with small buffer sizes. Going forward, there might be an argument for trying to increase the buffer size even more, but let's take a baby step first. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/22173.1494788088@sss.pgh.pa.us

2017-05-15Fix ALTER SEQUENCE lockingPeter Eisentraut
In 1753b1b027035029c2a2a1649065762fafbf63f3, the pg_sequence system catalog was introduced. This made sequence metadata changes transactional, while the actual sequence values are still behaving nontransactionally. This requires some refinement in how ALTER SEQUENCE, which operates on both, locks the sequence and the catalog. The main problems were: - Concurrent ALTER SEQUENCE causes "tuple concurrently updated" error, caused by updates to pg_sequence catalog. - Sequence WAL writes and catalog updates are not protected by same lock, which could lead to inconsistent recovery order. - nextval() disregarding uncommitted ALTER SEQUENCE changes. To fix, nextval() and friends now lock the sequence using RowExclusiveLock instead of AccessShareLock. ALTER SEQUENCE locks the sequence using ShareRowExclusiveLock. This means that nextval() and ALTER SEQUENCE block each other, and ALTER SEQUENCE on the same sequence blocks itself. (This was already the case previously for the OWNER TO, RENAME, and SET SCHEMA variants.) Also, rearrange some code so that the entire AlterSequence is protected by the lock on the sequence. As an exception, use reduced locking for ALTER SEQUENCE ... RESTART. Since that is basically a setval(), it does not require the full locking of other ALTER SEQUENCE actions. So check whether we are only running a RESTART and run with less locking if so.

2017-05-14Make pgstat tabstat lookup hash table less fragile.Tom Lane
Code review for commit 090010f2e. Fix cases where an elog(ERROR) partway through a function would leave the persistent data structures in a corrupt state. pgstat_report_stat got this wrong by invalidating PgStat_TableEntry structs before removing hashtable entries pointing to them, and get_tabstat_entry got it wrong by ignoring the possibility of palloc failure after it had already created a hashtable entry. Also, avoid leaking a memory context per transaction, which the previous code did through misunderstanding hash_create's API. We do not need to create a context to hold the hash table; hash_create will do that. (The leak wasn't that large, amounting to only a memory context header per iteration, but it's still surprising that nobody noticed it yet.)

2017-05-14Fix handling of extended statistics during ALTER COLUMN TYPE.Tom Lane
ALTER COLUMN TYPE on a column used by a statistics object fails since commit 928c4de30, because the relevant switch in ATExecAlterColumnType is unprepared for columns to have dependencies from OCLASS_STATISTIC_EXT objects. Although the existing types of extended statistics don't actually need us to do any work for a column type change, it seems completely indefensible that that assumption is hidden behind the failure of an unrelated module to contain any code for the case. Hence, create and call an API function in statscmds.c where the assumption can be explained, and where we could add code to deal with the problem when it inevitably becomes real. Also, the reason this wasn't handled before, neither for extended stats nor for the last half-dozen new OCLASS kinds :-(, is that the default: in that switch suppresses compiler warnings, allowing people to miss the need to consider it when adding an OCLASS. We don't really need a default because surely getObjectClass should only return valid values of the enum; so remove it, and add the missed OCLASS entries where they should be.

2017-05-14Standardize terminology for pg_statistic_ext entries.Tom Lane
Consistently refer to such an entry as a "statistics object", not just "statistics" or "extended statistics". Previously we had a mismash of terms, accompanied by utter confusion as to whether the term was singular or plural. That's not only grating (at least to the ear of a native English speaker) but could be outright misleading, eg in error messages that seemed to be referring to multiple objects where only one could be meant. This commit fixes the code and a lot of comments (though I may have missed a few). I also renamed two new SQL functions, pg_get_statisticsextdef -> pg_get_statisticsobjdef pg_statistic_ext_is_visible -> pg_statistics_obj_is_visible to conform better with this terminology.
