2022-02-05Test, don't just Assert, that mergejoin's inputs are in order.Tom Lane
There are two Asserts in nodeMergejoin.c that are reachable if the input data is not in the expected order. This seems way too fragile. Alexander Lakhin reported a case where the assertions could be triggered with misconfigured foreign-table partitions, and bitter experience with unstable operating system collation definitions suggests another easy route to hitting them. Neither Assert is in a place where we can't afford one more test-and-branch, so replace 'em with plain test-and-elog logic. Per bug #17395. While the reported symptom is relatively recent, collation changes could happen anytime, so back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/17395-8c326292078d1a57@postgresql.org
2022-01-27Fix ordering of XIDs in ProcArrayApplyRecoveryInfoTomas Vondra
Commit 8431e296ea reworked ProcArrayApplyRecoveryInfo to sort XIDs before adding them to KnownAssignedXids. But the XIDs are sorted using xidComparator, which compares the XIDs simply as uint32 values, not logically. KnownAssignedXidsAdd() however expects XIDs in logical order, and calls TransactionIdFollowsOrEquals() to enforce that. If there are XIDs for which the two orderings disagree, an error is raised and the recovery fails/restarts. Hitting this issue is fairly easy - you just need two transactions, one started before the 4B limit (e.g. XID 4294967290), the other sometime after it (e.g. XID 1000). Logically (4294967290 <= 1000) but when compared using xidComparator we try to add them in the opposite order. Which makes KnownAssignedXidsAdd() fail with an error like this: ERROR: out-of-order XID insertion in KnownAssignedXids This only happens during replica startup, while processing RUNNING_XACTS records to build the snapshot. Once we reach STANDBY_SNAPSHOT_READY, we skip these records. So this does not affect already running replicas, but if you restart (or create) a replica while there are transactions with XIDs for which the two orderings disagree, you may hit this. Long-running transactions and frequent replica restarts increase the likelihood of hitting this issue. Once the replica gets into this state, it can't be started (even if the old transactions are terminated). Fixed by sorting the XIDs logically - this is fine because we're dealing with normal XIDs (because it's XIDs assigned to backends) and from the same wraparound epoch (otherwise the backends could not be running at the same time on the primary node). So there are no problems with the triangle inequality, which is why xidComparator compares raw values. Investigation and root cause analysis by Abhijit Menon-Sen. Patch by me. This issue is present in all releases since 9.4, however releases up to 9.6 are EOL already so backpatch to 10 only.

2022-01-25Revert "graceful shutdown" changes for Windows, in back branches only.Tom Lane
This reverts commits 6051857fc and ed52c3707, but only in the back branches. Further testing has shown that while those changes do fix some things, they also break others; in particular, it looks like walreceivers fail to detect walsender-initiated connection close reliably if the walsender shuts down this way. We'll keep trying to improve matters in HEAD, but it now seems unwise to push these changes into stable releases.

2022-01-24Fix limitations on what SQL commands can be issued to a walsender.Tom Lane
In logical replication mode, a WalSender is supposed to be able to execute any regular SQL command, as well as the special replication commands. Poor design of the replication-command parser caused it to fail in various cases, notably: * semicolons embedded in a command, or multiple SQL commands sent in a single message; * dollar-quoted literals containing odd numbers of single or double quote marks; * commands starting with a comment. The basic problem here is that we're trying to run repl_scanner.l across the entire input string even when it's not a replication command. Since repl_scanner.l does not understand all of the token types known to the core lexer, this is doomed to have failure modes. We certainly don't want to make repl_scanner.l as big as scan.l, so instead rejigger stuff so that we only lex the first token of a non-replication command. That will usually look like an IDENT to repl_scanner.l, though a comment would end up getting reported as a '-' or '/' single-character token. If the token is a replication command keyword, we push it back and proceed normally with repl_gram.y parsing. Otherwise, we can drop out of exec_replication_command() without examining the rest of the string. (It's still theoretically possible for repl_scanner.l to fail on the first token; but that could only happen if it's an unterminated single- or double-quoted string, in which case you'd have gotten largely the same error from the core lexer too.) In this way, repl_gram.y isn't involved at all in handling general SQL commands, so we can get rid of the SQLCmd node type. (In the back branches, we can't remove it because renumbering enum NodeTag would be an ABI break; so just leave it sit there unused.) I failed to resist the temptation to clean up some other sloppy coding in repl_scanner.l while at it. The only externally-visible behavior change from that is it now accepts \r and \f as whitespace, same as the core lexer. Per bug #17379 from Greg Rychlewski. Back-patch to all supported branches.

2022-01-24Remember to reset yy_start state when firing up repl_scanner.l.Tom Lane
Without this, we get odd behavior when the previous cycle of lexing exited in a non-default exclusive state. Every other copy of this code is aware that it has to do BEGIN(INITIAL), but repl_scanner.l did not get that memo. The real-world impact of this is probably limited, since most replication clients would abandon their connection after getting a syntax error. Still, it's a bug. This mistake is old, so back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/1874781.1643035952@sss.pgh.pa.us
2022-01-23Suppress variable-set-but-not-used warning from clang 13.Tom Lane
In the normal configuration where GEQO_DEBUG isn't defined, recent clang versions have started to complain that geqo_main.c accumulates the edge_failures count but never does anything with it. As a minimal back-patchable fix, insert a void cast to silence this warning. (I'd speculated about ripping out the GEQO_DEBUG logic altogether, but I don't think we'd wish to back-patch that.) Per recently-established project policy, this is a candidate for back-patching into out-of-support branches: it suppresses an annoying compiler warning but changes no behavior. Hence, back-patch all the way to 9.2. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CA+hUKGLTSZQwES8VNPmWO9AO0wSeLt36OCPDAZTccT1h7Q7kTQ@mail.gmail.com

2022-01-15Build inherited extended stats on partitioned tablesTomas Vondra
Commit 859b3003de disabled building of extended stats for inheritance trees, to prevent updating the same catalog row twice. While that resolved the issue, it also means there are no extended stats for declaratively partitioned tables, because there are no data in the non-leaf relations. That also means declaratively partitioned tables were not affected by the issue 859b3003de addressed, which means this is a regression affecting queries that calculate estimates for the whole inheritance tree as a whole (which includes e.g. GROUP BY queries). But because partitioned tables are empty, we can invert the condition and build statistics only for the case with inheritance, without losing anything. And we can consider them when calculating estimates. It may be necessary to run ANALYZE on partitioned tables, to collect proper statistics. For declarative partitioning there should no prior statistics, and it might take time before autoanalyze is triggered. For tables partitioned by inheritance the statistics may include data from child relations (if built 859b3003de), contradicting the current code. Report and patch by Justin Pryzby, minor fixes and cleanup by me. Backpatch all the way back to PostgreSQL 10, where extended statistics were introduced (same as 859b3003de).

2022-01-15Ignore extended statistics for inheritance treesTomas Vondra
Since commit 859b3003de we only build extended statistics for individual relations, ignoring the child relations. This resolved the issue with updating catalog tuple twice, but we still tried to use the statistics when calculating estimates for the whole inheritance tree. When the relations contain very distinct data, it may produce bogus estimates. This is roughly the same issue 427c6b5b9 addressed ~15 years ago, and we fix it the same way - by ignoring extended statistics when calculating estimates for the inheritance tree as a whole. We still consider extended statistics when calculating estimates for individual child relations, of course. This may result in plan changes due to different estimates, but if the old statistics were not describing the inheritance tree particularly well it's quite likely the new plans is actually better.

2022-01-13Fix ruleutils.c's dumping of whole-row Vars in more contexts.Tom Lane
Commit 7745bc352 intended to ensure that whole-row Vars would be printed with "::type" decoration in all contexts where plain "var.*" notation would result in star-expansion, notably in ROW() and VALUES() constructs. However, it missed the case of INSERT with a single-row VALUES, as reported by Timur Khanjanov. Nosing around ruleutils.c, I found a second oversight: the code for RowCompareExpr generates ROW() notation without benefit of an actual RowExpr, and naturally it wasn't in sync :-(. (The code for FieldStore also does this, but we don't expect that to generate strictly parsable SQL anyway, so I left it alone.) Back-patch to all supported branches.

2022-01-03Fix index-only scan plans, take 2.Tom Lane
Commit 4ace45677 failed to fix the problem fully, because the same issue of attempting to fetch a non-returnable index column can occur when rechecking the indexqual after using a lossy index operator. Moreover, it broke EXPLAIN for such indexquals (which indicates a gap in our test cases :-(). Revert the code changes of 4ace45677 in favor of adding a new field to struct IndexOnlyScan, containing a version of the indexqual that can be executed against the index-returned tuple without using any non-returnable columns. (The restrictions imposed by check_index_only guarantee this is possible, although we may have to recompute indexed expressions.) Support construction of that during setrefs.c processing by marking IndexOnlyScan.indextlist entries as resjunk if they can't be returned, rather than removing them entirely. (We could alternatively require setrefs.c to look up the IndexOptInfo again, but abusing resjunk this way seems like a reasonably safe way to avoid needing to do that.) This solution isn't great from an API-stability standpoint: if there are any extensions out there that build IndexOnlyScan structs directly, they'll be broken in the next minor releases. However, only a very invasive extension would be likely to do such a thing. There's no change in the Path representation, so typical planner extensions shouldn't have a problem.

2022-01-01Fix index-only scan plans when not all index columns can be returned.Tom Lane
If an index has both returnable and non-returnable columns, and one of the non-returnable columns is an expression using a Var that is in a returnable column, then a query returning that expression could result in an index-only scan plan that attempts to read the non-returnable column, instead of recomputing the expression from the returnable column as intended. To fix, redefine the "indextlist" list of an IndexOnlyScan plan node as containing null Consts in place of any non-returnable columns. This solves the problem by preventing setrefs.c from falsely matching to such entries. The executor is happy since it only cares about the exposed types of the entries, and ruleutils.c doesn't care because a correct plan won't reference those entries. I considered some other ways to prevent setrefs.c from doing the wrong thing, but this way seems good since (a) it allows a very localized fix, (b) it makes the indextlist structure more compact in many cases, and (c) the indextlist is now a more faithful representation of what the index AM will actually produce, viz. nulls for any non-returnable columns. This is easier to hit since we introduced included columns, but it's possible to construct failing examples without that, as per the added regression test. Hence, back-patch to all supported branches. Per bug #17350 from Louis Jachiet. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/17350-b5bdcf476e5badbb@postgresql.org
2021-12-16Ensure casting to typmod -1 generates a RelabelType.Tom Lane
Fix the code changed by commit 5c056b0c2 so that we always generate RelabelType, not something else, for a cast to unspecified typmod. Otherwise planner optimizations might not happen. It appears we missed this point because the previous experiments were done on type numeric: the parser undesirably generates a call on the numeric() length-coercion function, but then numeric_support() optimizes that down to a RelabelType, so that everything seems fine. It misbehaves for types that have a non-optimized length coercion function, such as bpchar. Per report from John Naylor. Back-patch to all supported branches, as the previous patch eventually was. Unfortunately, that no longer includes 9.6 ... we really shouldn't put this type of change into a nearly-EOL branch.

2021-12-01Avoid leaking memory during large-scale REASSIGN OWNED BY operations.Tom Lane
The various ALTER OWNER routines tend to leak memory in CurrentMemoryContext. That's not a problem when they're only called once per command; but in this usage where we might be touching many objects, it can amount to a serious memory leak. Fix that by running each call in a short-lived context. (DROP OWNED BY likely has a similar issue, except that you'll probably run out of lock table space before noticing. REASSIGN is worth fixing since for most non-table object types, it won't take any lock.) Back-patch to all supported branches. Unfortunately, in the back branches this helps to only a limited extent, since the sinval message queue bloats quite a lot in this usage before commit 3aafc030a, consuming memory more or less comparable to what's actually leaked.

Replica identities that depend directly on an index rely on a set of properties, one of them being that all the columns defined in this index have to be marked as NOT NULL.

2021-11-08Reject extraneous data after SSL or GSS encryption handshake.Tom Lane
The server collects up to a bufferload of data whenever it reads data from the client socket. When SSL or GSS encryption is requested during startup, any additional data received with the initial request message remained in the buffer, and would be treated as already-decrypted data once the encryption handshake completed. Thus, a man-in-the-middle with the ability to inject data into the TCP connection could stuff some cleartext data into the start of a supposedly encryption-protected database session. This could be abused to send faked SQL commands to the server, although that would only work if the server did not demand any authentication data. (However, a server relying on SSL certificate authentication might well not do so.) To fix, throw a protocol-violation error if the internal buffer is not empty after the encryption handshake.

2021-10-19Remove bogus assertion in transformExpressionList().Tom Lane
I think when I added this assertion (in commit 8f889b108), I was only thinking of the use of transformExpressionList at top level of INSERT and VALUES. But it's also called by transformRowExpr(), which can certainly occur in an UPDATE targetlist, so it's inappropriate to suppose that p_multiassign_exprs must be empty. Besides, since the input is not expected to contain ResTargets, there's no reason it should contain MultiAssignRefs either. Hence this code need not be concerned about the state of p_multiassign_exprs, and we should just drop the assertion. Per bug #17236 from ocean_li_996. It's been wrong for years, so back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/17236-3210de9bcba1d7ca@postgresql.org

2021-10-18Reset properly snapshot export state during transaction abortMichael Paquier
During a replication slot creation, an ERROR generated in the same transaction as the one creating a to-be-exported snapshot would have left the backend in an inconsistent state, as the associated static export snapshot state was not being reset on transaction abort, but only on the follow-up command received by the WAL sender that created this snapshot on replication slot creation. This would trigger inconsistency failures if this session tried to export again a snapshot, like during the creation of a replication slot. Note that a snapshot export cannot happen in a transaction block, so there is no need to worry resetting this state for subtransaction aborts. Also, this inconsistent state would very unlikely show up to users. For example, one case where this could happen is an out-of-memory error when building the initial snapshot to-be-exported. Dilip found this problem while poking at a different patch, that caused an error in this code path for reasons unrelated to HEAD.

2021-10-06Fix corner-case loss of precision in numeric_power().Dean Rasheed
This fixes a loss of precision that occurs when the first input is very close to 1, so that its logarithm is very small. Formerly, during the initial low-precision calculation to estimate the result weight, the logarithm was computed to a local rscale that was capped to NUMERIC_MAX_DISPLAY_SCALE (1000). However, the base may be as close as 1e-16383 to 1, hence its logarithm may be as small as 1e-16383, and so the local rscale needs to be allowed to exceed 16383, otherwise all precision is lost, leading to a poor choice of rscale for the full-precision calculation. Fix this by removing the cap on the local rscale during the initial low-precision calculation, as we already do in the full-precision calculation. This doesn't change the fact that the initial calculation is a low-precision approximation, computing the logarithm to around 8 significant digits, which is very fast, especially when the base is very close to 1. Patch by me, reviewed by Alvaro Herrera. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAEZATCV-Ceu%2BHpRMf416yUe4KKFv%3DtdgXQAe5-7S9tD%3D5E-T1g%40mail.gmail.com
2021-10-04Fix snapshot builds during promotion of hot standby node with 2PCMichael Paquier
Some specific logic is done at the end of recovery when involving 2PC transactions: 1) Call RecoverPreparedTransactions(), to recover the state of 2PC transactions into memory (re-acquire locks, etc.). 2) ShutdownRecoveryTransactionEnvironment(), to move back to normal operations, mainly cleaning up recovery locks and KnownAssignedXids (including any 2PC transaction tracked previously). 3) Switch XLogCtl->SharedRecoveryState to RECOVERY_STATE_DONE, which is the tipping point for any process calling RecoveryInProgress() to check if the cluster is still in recovery or not. Any snapshot taken between steps 2) and 3) would be empty, causing any transaction relying on a snapshot at this point to potentially corrupt data as there could still be some 2PC transactions to track, with RecentXmin moving backwards on successive calls to GetSnapshotData() in the same transaction. As SharedRecoveryState is the point to take into account to know if it is safe to discard KnownAssignedXids, this commit moves step 2) after step 3), so as we can never finish with empty snapshots. This exists since the introduction of hot standby, so backpatch all the way down. The window with incorrect snapshots is extremely small, but I have seen it when running 023_pitr_prepared_xact.pl, as did buildfarm member fairywren. Thomas Munro also found it independently.

2021-10-01Avoid believing incomplete MCV-only stats in get_variable_range().Tom Lane
get_variable_range() would incautiously believe that statistics containing only an MCV list are sufficient to derive a range estimate. That's okay for an enum-like column that contains only MCVs, but otherwise the estimate could be pretty bad. Make it report that the range is indeterminate unless the MCVs plus nullfrac account for the whole table. I don't think this needs a dedicated test case, since a quick code coverage check verifies that the existing regression tests traverse all the alternatives. There is room to doubt that a future-proof test case could be built anyway, given that the submitted example accidentally doesn't fail before v11. Per bug #17207 from Simon Perepelitsa. Back-patch to v10. In principle this has been broken all along, but I'm hesitant to make such changes in 9.6, since if anyone is unhappy with 9.6.24's behavior there will be no second chance to fix it.

2021-09-29Fix WAL replay in presence of an incomplete recordAlvaro Herrera
Physical replication always ships WAL segment files to replicas once they are complete. This is a problem if one WAL record is split across a segment boundary and the primary server crashes before writing down the segment with the next portion of the WAL record: WAL writing after crash recovery would happily resume at the point where the broken record started, overwriting that record ... but any standby or backup may have already received a copy of that segment, and they are not rewinding. This causes standbys to stop following the primary after the latter crashes: LOG: invalid contrecord length 7262 at A8/D9FFFBC8 because the standby is still trying to read the continuation record (contrecord) for the original long WAL record, but it is not there and it will never be. A workaround is to stop the replica, delete the WAL file, and restart it -- at which point a fresh copy is brought over from the primary. But that's pretty labor intensive, and I bet many users would just give up and re-clone the standby instead. A fix for this problem was already attempted in commit 515e3d84a0b5, but it only addressed the case for the scenario of WAL archiving, so streaming replication would still be a problem (as well as other things such as taking a filesystem-level backup while the server is down after having crashed), and it had performance scalability problems too; so it had to be reverted. This commit fixes the problem using an approach suggested by Andres Freund, whereby the initial portion(s) of the split-up WAL record are kept, and a special type of WAL record is written where the contrecord was lost, so that WAL replay in the replica knows to skip the broken parts. With this approach, we can continue to stream/archive segment files as soon as they are complete, and replay of the broken records will proceed across the crash point without a hitch. Because a new type of WAL record is added, users should be careful to upgrade standbys first, primaries later. Otherwise they risk the standby being unable to start if the primary happens to write such a record. A new TAP test that exercises this is added, but the portability of it is yet to be seen. This has been wrong since the introduction of physical replication, so backpatch all the way back. In stable branches, keep the new XLogReaderState members at the end of the struct, to avoid an ABI break.

2021-09-23Release memory allocated by dependency_degreeTomas Vondra
Calculating degree of a functional dependency may allocate a lot of memory - we have released mot of the explicitly allocated memory, but e.g. detoasted varlena values were left behind. That may be an issue, because we consider a lot of dependencies (all combinations), and the detoasting may happen for each one again. Fixed by calling dependency_degree() in a dedicated context, and resetting it after each call. We only need the calculated dependency degree, so we don't need to copy anything.

2021-09-23Free memory after building each statistics objectTomas Vondra
Until now, all extended statistics on a given relation were built in the same memory context, without resetting. Some of the memory was released explicitly, but not all of it - for example memory allocated while detoasting values is hard to free. This is how it worked since extended statistics were introduced in PostgreSQL 10, but adding support for extended stats on expressions made the issue somewhat worse as it increases the number of statistics to build. Fixed by adding a memory context which gets reset after building each statistics object (all the statistics kinds included in it). Resetting it after building each statistics kind would be even better, but it would require more invasive changes and copying of results, making it harder to backpatch.

2021-09-20Don't elide casting to typmod -1.Tom Lane
Casting a value that's already of a type with a specific typmod to an unspecified typmod doesn't do anything so far as run-time behavior is concerned. However, it really ought to change the exposed type of the expression to match. Up to now, coerce_type_typmod hasn't bothered with that, which creates gotchas in contexts such as recursive unions. If for example one side of the union is numeric(18,3), but it needs to be plain numeric to match the other side, there's no direct way to express that. This is easy enough to fix, by inserting a RelabelType to update the exposed type of the expression. However, it's a bit nervous-making to change this behavior, because it's stood for a really long time. But no complaints have emerged about 14beta3, so go ahead and back-patch. Back-patch of 5c056b0c2 into previous supported branches.

2021-09-11Make pg_regexec() robust against out-of-range search_start.Tom Lane
If search_start is greater than the length of the string, we should just return REG_NOMATCH immediately. (Note that the equality case should *not* be rejected, since the pattern might be able to match zero characters.) This guards various internal assumptions that the min of a range of string positions is not more than the max. Violation of those assumptions could allow an attempt to fetch string[search_start-1], possibly causing a crash. Jaime Casanova pointed out that this situation is reachable with the new regexp_xxx functions that accept a user-specified start position. I don't believe it's reachable via any in-core call site in v14 and below. However, extensions could possibly call pg_regexec with an out-of-range search_start, so let's back-patch the fix anyway.

2021-09-09Check for relation length overrun soon enough.Tom Lane
We don't allow relations to exceed 2^32-1 blocks, because block numbers are 32 bits and the last possible block number is reserved to mean InvalidBlockNumber. There is a check for this in mdextend, but that's really way too late, because the smgr API requires us to create a buffer for the block-to-be-added, and we do not want to have any buffer with blocknum InvalidBlockNumber. (Such a case can trigger assertions in bufmgr.c, plus I think it might confuse ReadBuffer's logic for data-past-EOF later on.) So put the check into ReadBuffer. Per report from Christoph Berg.
