2024-03-29Add unicode_strtitle() for Unicode Default Case Conversion.Jeff Davis
This brings the titlecasing implementation for the builtin provider out of formatting.c and into unicode_case.c, along with unicode_strlower() and unicode_strupper(). Accepts an arbitrary word boundary callback. Simple for now, but can be extended to support the Unicode Default Case Conversion algorithm with full case mapping.

2024-03-27Add functions to generate random numbers in a specified range.Dean Rasheed
This adds 3 new variants of the random() function: random(min integer, max integer) returns integer random(min bigint, max bigint) returns bigint random(min numeric, max numeric) returns numeric Each returns a random number x in the range min <= x <= max. For the numeric function, the number of digits after the decimal point is equal to the number of digits that "min" or "max" has after the decimal point, whichever has more. The main entry points for these functions are in a new C source file. The existing random(), random_normal(), and setseed() functions are moved there too, so that they can all share the same PRNG state, which is kept private to that file.

2024-03-13Add the system identifier to backup manifests.Robert Haas
Before this patch, if you took a full backup on server A and then tried to use the backup manifest to take an incremental backup on server B, it wouldn't know that the manifest was from a different server and so the incremental backup operation could potentially complete without error. When you later tried to run pg_combinebackup, you'd find out that your incremental backup was and always had been invalid. That's poor timing, because nobody likes finding out about backup problems only at restore time. With this patch, you'll get an error when trying to take the (invalid) incremental backup, which seems a lot nicer. Amul Sul, revised by me. Review by Michael Paquier.

2024-03-12Use printf's %m format instead of strerror(errno) in more placesMichael Paquier
Most callers of strerror() are removed from the backend code. The remaining callers require special handling with a saved errno from a previous system call. The frontend code still needs strerror() where error states need to be handled outside of fprintf. Note that pg_regress is not changed to use %m as the TAP output may clobber errno, since those functions call fprintf() and friends before evaluating the format string.

Now that BackendId was just another index into the proc array, it was redundant with the 0-based proc numbers used in other places. Replace all usage of backend IDs with proc numbers. The only place where the term "backend id" remains is in a few pgstat functions that expose backend IDs at the SQL level. Those IDs are now in fact 0-based ProcNumbers too, but the documentation still calls them "backend ids". That term still seems appropriate to describe what the numbers are, so I let it be.

2024-02-09Refactor pipe_read_line to return the full lineDaniel Gustafsson
Commit 5b2f4afffe6 refactored find_other_exec() and in the process created pipe_read_line() into a static routine for reading a single line of output, aimed at reading version numbers. Commit a7e8ece41 later exposed it externally in order to read a postgresql.conf GUC using "postgres -C ..". Further, f06b1c598 also made use of it for reading a version string much like find_other_exec(). The internal variable remained "pgver", even when used for other purposes. Since the function requires passing a buffer and its size, and at most size - 1 bytes will be read via fgets(), there is a truncation risk when using this for reading GUCs (like how pg_rewind does, though the risk in this case is marginal). To keep this as generic functionality for reading a line from a pipe, this refactors pipe_read_line() into returning an allocated buffer containing all of the line to remove the risk of silent truncation.

2024-01-29Move is_valid_ascii() to ascii.h.Nathan Bossart
This function requires simd.h, which is a rather large dependency for a widely-used header file like pg_wchar.h. Furthermore, there is a report of a third-party tool that is struggling to use pg_wchar.h due to its dependence on simd.h (presumably because simd.h uses several intrinsics). Moving the function to the much less popular ascii.h resolves these issues for now. This commit is back-patched for the benefit of the aforementioned third-party tool. The simd.h dependency was only added in v16, but we've opted to back-patch to v15 so that is_valid_ascii() lives in the same file for all versions where it exists. This could break existing third-party code that uses the function, but we couldn't find any examples of such code.

2023-12-29Make all Perl warnings fatalPeter Eisentraut
There are a lot of Perl scripts in the tree, mostly code generation and TAP tests. Occasionally, these scripts produce warnings. These are probably always mistakes on the developer side (true positives). Typical examples are warnings from genbki.pl or related when you make a mess in the catalog files during development, or warnings from tests when they massage a config file that looks different on different hosts, or mistakes during merges (e.g., duplicate subroutine definitions), or just mistakes that weren't noticed because there is a lot of output in a verbose build.

2023-12-20Add a new WAL summarizer process.Robert Haas
When active, this process writes WAL summary files to $PGDATA/pg_wal/summaries. Each summary file contains information for a certain range of LSNs on a certain TLI. For each relation, it stores a "limit block" which is 0 if a relation is created or destroyed within a certain range of WAL records, or otherwise the shortest length to which the relation was truncated during that range of WAL records, or otherwise InvalidBlockNumber. In addition, it stores a list of blocks which have been modified during that range of WAL records, but excluding blocks which were removed by truncation after they were modified and never subsequently modified again. In other words, it tells us which blocks need to copied in case of an incremental backup covering that range of WAL records. But this doesn't yet add the capability to actually perform an incremental backup; the next patch will do that. A new parameter summarize_wal enables or disables this new background process. The background process also automatically deletes summary files that are older than wal_summarize_keep_time, if that parameter has a non-zero value and the summarizer is configured to run.

2023-11-08Make ResourceOwners more easily extensible.Heikki Linnakangas
Instead of having a separate array/hash for each resource kind, use a single array and hash to hold all kinds of resources. This makes it possible to introduce new resource "kinds" without having to modify the ResourceOwnerData struct. In particular, this makes it possible for extensions to register custom resource kinds. The old approach was to have a small array of resources of each kind, and if it fills up, switch to a hash table. The new approach also uses an array and a hash, but now the array and the hash are used at the same time. The array is used to hold the recently added resources, and when it fills up, they are moved to the hash. This keeps the access to recent entries fast, even when there are a lot of long-held resources. All the resource-specific ResourceOwnerEnlarge*(), ResourceOwnerRemember*(), and ResourceOwnerForget*() functions have been replaced with three generic functions that take resource kind as argument. For convenience, we still define resource-specific wrapper macros around the generic functions with the old names, but they are now defined in the source files that use those resource kinds. The release callback no longer needs to call ResourceOwnerForget on the resource being released. ResourceOwnerRelease unregisters the resource from the owner before calling the callback. That needed some changes in bufmgr.c and some other files, where releasing the resources previously always called ResourceOwnerForget. Each resource kind specifies a release priority, and ResourceOwnerReleaseAll releases the resources in priority order. To make that possible, we have to restrict what you can do between phases. After calling ResourceOwnerRelease(), you are no longer allowed to remember any more resources in it or to forget any previously remembered resources by calling ResourceOwnerForget. There was one case where that was done previously. At subtransaction commit, AtEOSubXact_Inval() would handle the invalidation messages and call RelationFlushRelation(), which temporarily increased the reference count on the relation being flushed. We now switch to the parent subtransaction's resource owner before calling AtEOSubXact_Inval(), so that there is a valid ResourceOwner to temporarily hold that relcache reference. Other end-of-xact routines make similar calls to AtEOXact_Inval() between release phases, but I didn't see any regression test failures from those, so I'm not sure if they could reach a codepath that needs remembering extra resources. There were two exceptions to how the resource leak WARNINGs on commit were printed previously: llvmjit silently released the context without printing the warning, and a leaked buffer io triggered a PANIC. Now everything prints a WARNING, including those cases. Add tests in src/test/modules/test_resowner.

2023-11-06Remove distprepPeter Eisentraut
A PostgreSQL release tarball contains a number of prebuilt files, in particular files produced by bison, flex, perl, and well as html and man documentation. We have done this consistent with established practice at the time to not require these tools for building from a tarball. Some of these tools were hard to get, or get the right version of, from time to time, and shipping the prebuilt output was a convenience to users. Now this has at least two problems: One, we have to make the build system(s) work in two modes: Building from a git checkout and building from a tarball. This is pretty complicated, but it works so far for autoconf/make. It does not currently work for meson; you can currently only build with meson from a git checkout. Making meson builds work from a tarball seems very difficult or impossible. One particular problem is that since meson requires a separate build directory, we cannot make the build update files like gram.h in the source tree. So if you were to build from a tarball and update gram.y, you will have a gram.h in the source tree and one in the build tree, but the way things work is that the compiler will always use the one in the source tree. So you cannot, for example, make any gram.y changes when building from a tarball. This seems impossible to fix in a non-horrible way. Second, there is increased interest nowadays in precisely tracking the origin of software. We can reasonably track contributions into the git tree, and users can reasonably track the path from a tarball to packages and downloads and installs. But what happens between the git tree and the tarball is obscure and in some cases non-reproducible. The solution for both of these issues is to get rid of the step that adds prebuilt files to the tarball. The tarball now only contains what is in the git tree (*). Getting the additional build dependencies is no longer a problem nowadays, and the complications to keep these dual build modes working are significant. And of course we want to get the meson build system working universally. This commit removes the make distprep target altogether. The make dist target continues to do its job, it just doesn't call distprep anymore. (*) - The tarball also contains the INSTALL file that is built at make dist time, but not by distprep. This is unchanged for now. The make maintainer-clean target, whose job it is to remove the prebuilt files in addition to what make distclean does, is now just an alias to make distprep. (In practice, it is probably obsolete given that git clean is available.)

On Windows, GetDataDirectoryCreatePerm() just did nothing. The way the code in some callers is structured, this is the first function that tries to access the data directory. So it also ends up the place that is responsible for reporting that a data directory does not exist or similar. Therefore, on Windows, these scenarios end up on potentially completely different code paths. To unify this, to make testing more consistent across platforms, have GetDataDirectoryCreatePerm() run the stat() call on Windows as well, even though it won't do anything with the result.

Some add the last comma on the fly if they add a new last value, some are trying to preserve the existing style in each place, some are even dropping the last comma if there was one. We could nudge this all in a consistent direction if we just add the trailing commas everywhere once. I omitted a few places where there was a fixed "last" value that will always stay last. I also skipped the header files of libpq and ecpg, in case people want to use those with older compilers. There were also a small number of cases where the enum type wasn't used anywhere (but the enum values were), which ended up confusing pgindent a bit, so I left those alone.

2023-10-26Introduce the concept of read-only StringInfosDavid Rowley
There were various places in our codebase which conjured up a StringInfo by manually assigning the StringInfo fields and setting the data field to point to some existing buffer. There wasn't much consistency here as to what fields like maxlen got set to and in one location we didn't correctly ensure that the buffer was correctly NUL terminated at len bytes, as per what was documented as required in stringinfo.h Here we introduce 2 new functions to initialize StringInfos. One allows callers to initialize a StringInfo passing along a buffer that is already allocated by palloc. Here the StringInfo code uses this buffer directly rather than doing any memcpying into a new allocation. Having this as a function allows us to verify the buffer is correctly NUL terminated. StringInfos initialized this way can be appended to and reset just like any other normal StringInfo. The other new initialization function also accepts an existing buffer, but the given buffer does not need to be a pointer to a palloc'd chunk. This buffer could be a pointer pointing partway into some palloc'd chunk or may not even be palloc'd at all. StringInfos initialized this way are deemed as "read-only". This means that it's not possible to append to them or reset them. For the latter of the two new initialization functions mentioned above, we relax the requirement that the data buffer must be NUL terminated. Relaxing this requirement is convenient in a few places as it can save us from having to allocate an entire new buffer just to add the NUL terminator or save us from having to temporarily add a NUL only to have to put the original char back again later. Incompatibility note: Here we also forego adding the NUL in a few places where it does not seem to be required. These locations are passing the given StringInfo into a type's receive function. It does not seem like any of our built-in receive functions require this, but perhaps there's some UDT out there in the wild which does require this. It is likely worthy of a mention in the release notes that a UDT's receive function mustn't rely on the input StringInfo being NUL terminated.

2023-10-18Improve pglz_decompress's defenses against corrupt compressed data.Tom Lane
When processing a match tag, check to see if the claimed "off" is more than the distance back to the output buffer start. If it is, then the data is corrupt, and what's more we would fetch from outside the buffer boundaries and potentially incur a SIGSEGV. (Although the odds of that seem relatively low, given that "off" can't be more than 4K.) Back-patch to v13; before that, this function wasn't really trying to protect against bad data.

2023-10-16Try to handle torn reads of pg_control in frontend.Thomas Munro
Some of our src/bin tools read the control file without any kind of interlocking against concurrent writes from the server. At least ext4 and ntfs can expose partially modified contents when you do that. For now, we'll try to tolerate this by retrying up to 10 times if the checksum doesn't match, until we get two reads in a row with the same bad checksum. This is not guaranteed to reach the right conclusion, but it seems very likely to. Thanks to Tom Lane for this suggestion. Various ideas for interlocking or atomicity were considered too complicated, unportable or expensive given the lack of field reports, but remain open for future reconsideration. Back-patch as far as 12. It doesn't seem like a good idea to put a heuristic change for a very rare problem into the final release of 11. Reviewed-by: Anton A.

2023-10-07Restore proper linkage of pg_char_to_encoding() and friends.Tom Lane
Back in the 8.3 era we discovered that it was problematic if libpq.so had encoding ID assignments different from the backend, which is possible because on some platforms libpq.so might be of a different major version from the calling programs. psql should use libpq's assignments, but initdb has to use the backend's, else it will put wrong values into pg_database. The solution devised in commit 8468146b0 relied on giving initdb its own copy of encnames.c rather than relying on the functions exported by libpq. Later, that metamorphosed into ensuring that libpgcommon got linked before libpq -- which made things OK for initdb but broke psql. We didn't notice for lack of any changes in enum pg_enc since then. Commit 06843df4a reversed that, fixing the latent bug in psql but adding one in initdb. The meson build infrastructure is also not being sufficiently careful about link order, and trying to make it so would be equally fragile. Hence, let's use a new scheme based on giving the libpq-exported symbols different real names than the same functions exported from libpgcommon.a or libpgcommon_srv.a. (We could distinguish those two cases as well, but there seems no need to.) libpq gets the official names to avoid an ABI break for libpq clients, while the other cases use #define's to make the real names "xxx_private" rather than "xxx". By controlling where the #define's are applied, we can force any particular client program to use one set or the other of the encnames.c functions. We cannot back-patch this, since it'd be an ABI break for backend loadable modules, but there seems little need to. We're just trying to ensure that the world is safe for hypothetical future additions to enum pg_enc. In passing this should fix "duplicate symbol" linker warnings that we've been seeing on AIX buildfarm members since commit 06843df4a. It's not very clear why that linker is complaining now, when there were strictly *more* duplicates visible before, but in any case this should remove the reason for complaint. Patch by me; thanks to Andres Freund for review. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/2385119.1696354473@sss.pgh.pa.us
2023-10-05Improve JsonLexContext's freeabilityAlvaro Herrera
Previously, the JSON code didn't have to worry too much about freeing JsonLexContext, because it was never too long-lived. With new features being added for SQL/JSON this is no longer the case. Add a routine that knows how to free this struct and apply that to a few places, to prevent this from becoming problematic. At the same time, we change the API of makeJsonLexContextCstringLen to make it receive a pointer to JsonLexContext for callers that want it to be stack-allocated; it can also be passed as NULL to get the original behavior of a palloc'ed one. This also causes an ABI break due to the addition of flags to JsonLexContext, so we can't easily backpatch it. AFAICS that's not much of a problem; apparently some leaks might exist in JSON usage of text-search, for example via json_to_tsvector, but I haven't seen any complaints about that.

2023-09-18Add function for removing arbitrary nodes in binaryheap.Nathan Bossart
This commit introduces binaryheap_remove_node(), which can be used to remove any node from a binary heap. The implementation is straightforward. The target node is replaced with the last node in the heap, and then we sift as needed to preserve the heap property. This new function is intended for use in a follow-up commit that will improve the performance of pg_restore. Reviewed-by: Tom Lane Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/3612876.1689443232%40sss.pgh.pa.us
2023-09-18Make binaryheap available to frontend code.Nathan Bossart
There are a couple of places in frontend code that could make use of this simple binary heap implementation. This commit makes binaryheap usable in frontend code, much like commit 26aaf97b68 did for StringInfo. Like StringInfo, the header file is left in lib/ to reduce the likelihood of unnecessary breakage. The frontend version of binaryheap exposes a void *-based API since frontend code does not have access to the Datum definitions. This seemed like a better approach than switching all existing uses to void * or making the Datum definitions available to frontend code.

2023-09-06Add support for syncfs() in frontend support functions.Nathan Bossart
This commit adds support for using syncfs() in fsync_pgdata() and fsync_dir_recurse() (which have been renamed to sync_pgdata() and sync_dir_recurse()). Like recovery_init_sync_method, sync_pgdata() calls syncfs() for the data directory, each tablespace, and pg_wal (if it is a symlink). For now, all of the frontend utilities that use these support functions are hard-coded to use fsync(), but a follow-up commit will allow specifying syncfs().
