2017-01-19Remove obsoleted code relating to targetlist SRF evaluation.Andres Freund
Since 69f4b9c plain expression evaluation (and thus normal projection) can't return sets of tuples anymore. Thus remove code dealing with that possibility. This will require adjustments in external code using ExecEvalExpr()/ExecProject() - that should neither be hard nor very common.

2017-01-19Fix race condition in reading commit timestampsAlvaro Herrera
If a user requests the commit timestamp for a transaction old enough that its data is concurrently being truncated away by vacuum at just the right time, they would receive an ugly internal file-not-found error message from slru.c rather than the expected NULL return value. In a primary server, the window for the race is very small: the lookup has to occur exactly between the two calls by vacuum, and there's not a lot that happens between them (mostly just a multixact truncate). In a standby server, however, the window is larger because the truncation is executed as soon as the WAL record for it is replayed, but the advance of the oldest-Xid is not executed until the next checkpoint record. To fix in the primary, simply reverse the order of operations in vac_truncate_clog. To fix in the standby, augment the WAL truncation record so that the standby is aware of the new oldest-XID value and can apply the update immediately. WAL version bumped because of this. No backpatch, because of the low importance of the bug and its rarity.

2017-01-19Fix RETURNING to work correctly with partition tuple routing.Robert Haas
In ExecInsert(), do not switch back to the root partitioned table ResultRelInfo until after we finish ExecProcessReturning(), so that RETURNING projection is done using the partition's descriptor. For the projection to work correctly, we must initialize the same for each leaf partition during ModifyTableState initialization. Amit Langote
2017-01-19Fix failure to enforce partitioning contraint for internal partitions.Robert Haas
When a tuple is inherited into a partitioning root, no partition constraints need to be enforced; when it is inserted into a leaf, the parent's partitioning quals needed to be enforced. The previous coding got both of those cases right. When a tuple is inserted into an intermediate level of the partitioning hierarchy (i.e. a table which is both a partition itself and in turn partitioned), it must enforce the partitioning qual inherited from its parent. That case got overlooked; repair. Amit Langote
2017-01-18Move targetlist SRF handling from expression evaluation to new executor node.Andres Freund
Evaluation of set returning functions (SRFs_ in the targetlist (like SELECT generate_series(1,5)) so far was done in the expression evaluation (i.e. ExecEvalExpr()) and projection (i.e. ExecProject/ExecTargetList) code. This meant that most executor nodes performing projection, and most expression evaluation functions, had to deal with the possibility that an evaluated expression could return a set of return values. That's bad because it leads to repeated code in a lot of places. It also, and that's my (Andres's) motivation, made it a lot harder to implement a more efficient way of doing expression evaluation. To fix this, introduce a new executor node (ProjectSet) that can evaluate targetlists containing one or more SRFs. To avoid the complexity of the old way of handling nested expressions returning sets (e.g. having to pass up ExprDoneCond, and dealing with arguments to functions returning sets etc.), those SRFs can only be at the top level of the node's targetlist. The planner makes sure (via split_pathtarget_at_srfs()) that SRF evaluation is only necessary in ProjectSet nodes and that SRFs are only present at the top level of the node's targetlist. If there are nested SRFs the planner creates multiple stacked ProjectSet nodes. The ProjectSet nodes always get input from an underlying node. We also discussed and prototyped evaluating targetlist SRFs using ROWS FROM(), but that turned out to be more complicated than we'd hoped. While moving SRF evaluation to ProjectSet would allow to retain the old "least common multiple" behavior when multiple SRFs are present in one targetlist (i.e. continue returning rows until all SRFs are at the end of their input at the same time), we decided to instead only return rows till all SRFs are exhausted, returning NULL for already exhausted ones. We deemed the previous behavior to be too confusing, unexpected and actually not particularly useful. As a side effect, the previously prohibited case of multiple set returning arguments to a function, is now allowed. Not because it's particularly desirable, but because it ends up working and there seems to be no argument for adding code to prohibit it. Currently the behavior for COALESCE and CASE containing SRFs has changed, returning multiple rows from the expression, even when the SRF containing "arm" of the expression is not evaluated. That's because the SRFs are evaluated in a separate ProjectSet node. As that's quite confusing, we're likely to instead prohibit SRFs in those places. But that's still being discussed, and the code would reside in places not touched here, so that's a task for later. There's a lot of, now superfluous, code dealing with set return expressions around. But as the changes to get rid of those are verbose largely boring, it seems better for readability to keep the cleanup as a separate commit.

2017-01-18Change some test macros to return true booleansAlvaro Herrera
These macros work fine when they are used directly in an "if" test or similar, but as soon as the return values are assigned to boolean variables (or passed as boolean arguments to some function), they become bugs, hopefully caught by compiler warnings. To avoid future problems, fix the definitions so that they return actual booleans. To further minimize the risk that somebody uses them in back-patched fixes that only work correctly in branches starting from the current master and not in old ones, back-patch the change to supported branches as appropriate.

2017-01-18Improve RLS planning by marking individual quals with security levels.Tom Lane
In an RLS query, we must ensure that security filter quals are evaluated before ordinary query quals, in case the latter contain "leaky" functions that could expose the contents of sensitive rows. The original implementation of RLS planning ensured this by pushing the scan of a secured table into a sub-query that it marked as a security-barrier view. Unfortunately this results in very inefficient plans in many cases, because the sub-query cannot be flattened and gets planned independently of the rest of the query. To fix, drop the use of sub-queries to enforce RLS qual order, and instead mark each qual (RestrictInfo) with a security_level field establishing its priority for evaluation. Quals must be evaluated in security_level order, except that "leakproof" quals can be allowed to go ahead of quals of lower security_level, if it's helpful to do so. This has to be enforced within the ordering of any one list of quals to be evaluated at a table scan node, and we also have to ensure that quals are not chosen for early evaluation (i.e., use as an index qual or TID scan qual) if they're not allowed to go ahead of other quals at the scan node. This is sufficient to fix the problem for RLS quals, since we only support RLS policies on simple tables and thus RLS quals will always exist at the table scan level only. Eventually these qual ordering rules should be enforced for join quals as well, which would permit improving planning for explicit security-barrier views; but that's a task for another patch. Note that FDWs would need to be aware of these rules --- and not, for example, send an insecure qual for remote execution --- but since we do not yet allow RLS policies on foreign tables, the case doesn't arise. This will need to be addressed before we can allow such policies. Patch by me, reviewed by Stephen Frost and Dean Rasheed. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/8185.1477432701@sss.pgh.pa.us

2017-01-16Fix check_srf_call_placement() to handle VALUES cases correctly.Tom Lane
INSERT ... VALUES with a single VALUES row is implemented quite differently from the general VALUES case. A user-visible implication of that is that we accept SRFs in the single-row case, but not in the multi-row case. That's a historical artifact no doubt, but in view of the lack of field complaints, I'm not excited about fixing it right now. However, check_srf_call_placement() needs to know about this, first because it should throw an error in the unsupported case, and second because it should set p_hasTargetSRFs in the single-row case (because we treat that like a SELECT tlist). That's an oversight in commit a4c35ea1c. To fix, split EXPR_KIND_VALUES into two values. So far as I can see, this is the only place where we need to distinguish the two cases at present; but there might be more later. Patch by me, per report from Andres Freund.

2017-01-15Fix matching of boolean index columns to sort ordering.Tom Lane
Normally, if we have a WHERE clause like "indexcol = constant", the planner will figure out that that index column can be ignored when determining whether the index has a desired sort ordering. But this failed to work for boolean index columns, because a condition like "boolcol = true" is canonicalized to just "boolcol" which does not give rise to an EquivalenceClass. Add a check to allow the same type of deduction to be made in this case too. Per a complaint from Dima Pavlov. Arguably this is a bug, but given the limited impact and the small number of complaints so far, I won't risk destabilizing plans in stable branches by back-patching.

2017-01-14Change representation of statement lists, and add statement location info.Tom Lane
This patch makes several changes that improve the consistency of representation of lists of statements. It's always been the case that the output of parse analysis is a list of Query nodes, whatever the types of the individual statements in the list. This patch brings similar consistency to the outputs of raw parsing and planning steps: * The output of raw parsing is now always a list of RawStmt nodes; the statement-type-dependent nodes are one level down from that. * The output of pg_plan_queries() is now always a list of PlannedStmt nodes, even for utility statements. In the case of a utility statement, "planning" just consists of wrapping a CMD_UTILITY PlannedStmt around the utility node. This list representation is now used in Portal and CachedPlan plan lists, replacing the former convention of intermixing PlannedStmts with bare utility-statement nodes. Now, every list of statements has a consistent head-node type depending on how far along it is in processing. This allows changing many places that formerly used generic "Node *" pointers to use a more specific pointer type, thus reducing the number of IsA() tests and casts needed, as well as improving code clarity. Also, the post-parse-analysis representation of DECLARE CURSOR is changed so that it looks more like EXPLAIN, PREPARE, etc. That is, the contained SELECT remains a child of the DeclareCursorStmt rather than getting flipped around to be the other way. It's now true for both Query and PlannedStmt that utilityStmt is non-null if and only if commandType is CMD_UTILITY. That allows simplifying a lot of places that were testing both fields. (I think some of those were just defensive programming, but in many places, it was actually necessary to avoid confusing DECLARE CURSOR with SELECT.) Because PlannedStmt carries a canSetTag field, we're also able to get rid of some ad-hoc rules about how to reconstruct canSetTag for a bare utility statement; specifically, the assumption that a utility is canSetTag if and only if it's the only one in its list. While I see no near-term need for relaxing that restriction, it's nice to get rid of the ad-hocery. The API of ProcessUtility() is changed so that what it's passed is the wrapper PlannedStmt not just the bare utility statement. This will affect all users of ProcessUtility_hook, but the changes are pretty trivial; see the affected contrib modules for examples of the minimum change needed. (Most compilers should give pointer-type-mismatch warnings for uncorrected code.) There's also a change in the API of ExplainOneQuery_hook, to pass through cursorOptions instead of expecting hook functions to know what to pick. This is needed because of the DECLARE CURSOR changes, but really should have been done in 9.6; it's unlikely that any extant hook functions know about using CURSOR_OPT_PARALLEL_OK. Finally, teach gram.y to save statement boundary locations in RawStmt nodes, and pass those through to Query and PlannedStmt nodes. This allows more intelligent handling of cases where a source query string contains multiple statements. This patch doesn't actually do anything with the information, but a follow-on patch will. (Passing this information through cleanly is the true motivation for these changes; while I think this is all good cleanup, it's unlikely we'd have bothered without this end goal.) catversion bump because addition of location fields to struct Query affects stored rules. This patch is by me, but it owes a good deal to Fabien Coelho who did a lot of preliminary work on the problem, and also reviewed the patch.

2017-01-13Fix a bug in how we generate partition constraints.Robert Haas
Move the code for doing parent attnos to child attnos mapping for Vars in partition constraint expressions to a separate function map_partition_varattnos() and call it from the appropriate places. Doing it in get_qual_from_partbound(), as is now, would produce wrong result in certain multi-level partitioning cases, because it only considers the current pair of parent-child relations. In certain multi-level partitioning cases, attnums for the same key attribute(s) might differ between various levels causing the same attribute to be numbered differently in different instances of the Var corresponding to a given attribute. With this commit, in generate_partition_qual(), we first generate the the whole partition constraint (considering all levels of partitioning) and then do the mapping, so that Vars in the final expression are numbered according the leaf relation (to which it is supposed to apply).

2017-01-09Fix ALTER TABLE / SET TYPE for irregular inheritanceAlvaro Herrera
If inherited tables don't have exactly the same schema, the USING clause in an ALTER TABLE / SET DATA TYPE misbehaves when applied to the children tables since commit 9550e8348b79. Starting with that commit, the attribute numbers in the USING expression are fixed during parse analysis. This can lead to bogus errors being reported during execution, such as: ERROR: attribute 2 has wrong type DETAIL: Table has type smallint, but query expects integer. Since it wouldn't do to revert to the original coding, we now apply a transformation to map the attribute numbers to the correct ones for each child.

2017-01-04Prefer int-wide pg_atomic_flag over char-wide when using gcc intrinsics.Tom Lane
configure can only probe the existence of gcc intrinsics, not how well they're implemented, and unfortunately the answer is sometimes "badly". In particular we've found that multiple compilers fail to implement char-width __sync_lock_test_and_set() correctly on PPC; and even a correct implementation would necessarily be pretty inefficient, since that hardware has only a word-wide primitive to work with. Given the knowledge we've accumulated in s_lock.h, it appears that it's best to rely on int-width TAS operations on most non-Intel architectures. Hence, pick int not char when both are nominally available to us in generic-gcc.h (note that that code is not used for x86[_64]). Back-patch to fix regression test failures on FreeBSD/PPC. Ordinarily back-patching a change like this would be verboten because of ABI breakage. But since pg_atomic_flag is not yet used in any Postgres data structure, there's no ABI to break. It seems safer to back-patch to avoid possible gotchas, if someday we do back-patch something that uses pg_atomic_flag. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/25414.1483076673@sss.pgh.pa.us

We still block passphrase demands during SIGHUP, meaning that you can't adjust SSL configuration on-the-fly if you used a passphrase, but this is no worse than what it was before commit de41869b6.

2017-01-02Allow SSL configuration to be updated at SIGHUP.Tom Lane
It is no longer necessary to restart the server to enable, disable, or reconfigure SSL. Instead, we just create a new SSL_CTX struct (by re-reading all relevant files) whenever we get SIGHUP. Testing shows that this is fast enough that it shouldn't be a problem. In conjunction with that, downgrade the logic that complains about pg_hba.conf "hostssl" lines when SSL isn't active: now that's just a warning condition not an error. An issue that still needs to be addressed is what shall we do with passphrase-protected server keys? As this stands, the server would demand the passphrase again on every SIGHUP, which is certainly impractical. But the case was only barely supported before, so that does not seem a sufficient reason to hold up committing this patch.

2017-01-02Use clock_gettime(), if available, in instr_time measurements.Tom Lane
The advantage of clock_gettime() is that the API allows the result to be precise to nanoseconds, not just microseconds as in gettimeofday(). Now that it's routinely possible to do tens of plan node executions in 1us, we really need more precision than gettimeofday() can offer for EXPLAIN ANALYZE to accumulate statistics with. Some research shows that clock_gettime() is available on pretty nearly every modern Unix-ish platform, and as far as I have been able to test, it has about the same execution time as gettimeofday(), so there's no loss in switching over. (By the same token, this doesn't do anything to fix the fact that we really wish clock readings were faster. But there's enough win here to justify changing anyway.) A small side benefit is that on most platforms, we can use CLOCK_MONOTONIC instead of CLOCK_REALTIME and thereby render EXPLAIN impervious to concurrent resets of the system clock. (This means that code must not assume that the contents of struct instr_time have any well-defined interpretation as timestamps, but really that was true before.) Some platforms offer nonstandard clock IDs that might be of interest. This patch knows we should use CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW on macOS, because it provides more precision and is faster to read than their CLOCK_MONOTONIC. If there turn out to be many more cases where we need special rules, it might be appropriate to handle the selection of clock ID in configure, but for the moment that doesn't seem worth the trouble.

This doesn't seem to have caused any big problem so far, but it's surely trouble waiting to happen. We could adjust the manually assigned breakpoints to make more room, but that just leaves the same hazard waiting to strike again in future.

2016-12-22Fix handling of expanded objects in CoerceToDomain and CASE execution.Tom Lane
When the input value to a CoerceToDomain expression node is a read-write expanded datum, we should pass a read-only pointer to any domain CHECK expressions and then return the original read-write pointer as the expression result. Previously we were blindly passing the same pointer to all the consumers of the value, making it possible for a function in CHECK to modify or even delete the expanded value. (Since a plpgsql function will absorb a passed-in read-write expanded array as a local variable value, it will in fact delete the value on exit.) A similar hazard of passing the same read-write pointer to multiple consumers exists in domain_check() and in ExecEvalCase, so fix those too. The fix requires adding MakeExpandedObjectReadOnly calls at the appropriate places, which is simple enough except that we need to get the data type's typlen from somewhere. For the domain cases, solve this by redefining DomainConstraintRef.tcache as okay for callers to access; there wasn't any reason for the original convention against that, other than not wanting the API of typcache.c to be any wider than it had to be. For CASE, there's no good solution except to add a syscache lookup during executor start. Per bug #14472 from Marcos Castedo. Back-patch to 9.5 where expanded values were introduced.

2016-12-22Skip checkpoints, archiving on idle systems.Andres Freund
Some background activity (like checkpoints, archive timeout, standby snapshots) is not supposed to happen on an idle system. Unfortunately so far it was not easy to determine when a system is idle, which defeated some of the attempts to avoid redundant activity on an idle system. To make that easier, allow to make individual WAL insertions as not being "important". By checking whether any important activity happened since the last time an activity was performed, it now is easy to check whether some action needs to be repeated. Use the new facility for checkpoints, archive timeout and standby snapshots. The lack of a facility causes some issues in older releases, but in my opinion the consequences (superflous checkpoints / archived segments) aren't grave enough to warrant backpatching.

2016-12-22Simplify tape block format.Heikki Linnakangas
No more indirect blocks. The blocks form a linked list instead. This saves some memory, because we don't need to have a buffer in memory to hold the indirect block (or blocks). To reflect that, TAPE_BUFFER_OVERHEAD is reduced from 3 to 1 buffer, which allows using more memory for building the initial runs. Reviewed by Peter Geoghegan and Robert Haas.

2016-12-21Fix strange behavior (and possible crashes) in full text phrase search.Tom Lane
In an attempt to simplify the tsquery matching engine, the original phrase search patch invented rewrite rules that would rearrange a tsquery so that no AND/OR/NOT operator appeared below a PHRASE operator. But this approach had numerous problems. The rearrangement step was missed by ts_rewrite (and perhaps other places), allowing tsqueries to be created that would cause Assert failures or perhaps crashes at execution, as reported by Andreas Seltenreich. The rewrite rules effectively defined semantics for operators underneath PHRASE that were buggy, or at least unintuitive. And because rewriting was done in tsqueryin() rather than at execution, the rearrangement was user-visible, which is not very desirable --- for example, it might cause unexpected matches or failures to match in ts_rewrite. As a somewhat independent problem, the behavior of nested PHRASE operators was only sane for left-deep trees; queries like "x <-> (y <-> z)" did not behave intuitively at all. To fix, get rid of the rewrite logic altogether, and instead teach the tsquery execution engine to manage AND/OR/NOT below a PHRASE operator by explicitly computing the match location(s) and match widths for these operators. This requires introducing some additional fields into the publicly visible ExecPhraseData struct; but since there's no way for third-party code to pass such a struct to TS_phrase_execute, it shouldn't create an ABI problem as long as we don't move the offsets of the existing fields. Another related problem was that index searches supposed that "!x <-> y" could be lossily approximated as "!x & y", which isn't correct because the latter will reject, say, "x q y" which the query itself accepts. This required some tweaking in TS_execute_ternary along with the main tsquery engine. Back-patch to 9.6 where phrase operators were introduced. While this could be argued to change behavior more than we'd like in a stable branch, we have to do something about the crash hazards and index-vs-seqscan inconsistency, and it doesn't seem desirable to let the unintuitive behaviors induced by the rewriting implementation stand as precedent.

2016-12-21Fix corner-case bug in WaitEventSetWaitBlock on Windows.Robert Haas
If we do not reset the FD_READ event, WaitForMultipleObjects won't return it again again unless we've meanwhile read from the socket, which is generally true but not guaranteed. WaitEventSetWaitBlock itself may fail to return the event to the caller if the latch is also set, and even if we changed that, the caller isn't obliged to handle all returned events at once. On non-Windows systems, the socket-read event is purely level-triggered, so this issue does not exist. To fix, make Windows reset the event when needed. This bug was introduced by 98a64d0bd713cb89e61bef6432befc4b7b5da59e, and causes hangs when trying to use the pldebugger extension. Patch by Amit Kapial. Reported and tested by Ashutosh Sharma, who also provided some analysis. Further analysis by Michael Paquier.
2016-12-21Reorder pg_sequence columns to avoid alignment issuePeter Eisentraut
On AIX, doubles are aligned at 4 bytes, but int64 is aligned at 8 bytes. Our code assumes that doubles have alignment that can also be applied to int64, but that fails in this case. One effect is that heap_form_tuple() writes tuples in a different layout than Form_pg_sequence expects. Rather than rewrite the whole alignment code, work around the issue by reordering the columns in pg_sequence so that the first int64 column naturally comes out at an 8-byte boundary.
2016-12-20Add pg_sequence system catalogPeter Eisentraut
Move sequence metadata (start, increment, etc.) into a proper system catalog instead of storing it in the sequence heap object. This separates the metadata from the sequence data. Sequence metadata is now operated on transactionally by DDL commands, whereas previously rollbacks of sequence-related DDL commands would be ignored. Reviewed-by: Andreas Karlsson <andreas@proxel.se>
