2025-02-10Specify the encoding of input to fmtId()Andres Freund
This commit adds fmtIdEnc() and fmtQualifiedIdEnc(), which allow to specify the encoding as an explicit argument. Additionally setFmtEncoding() is provided, which defines the encoding when no explicit encoding is provided, to avoid breaking all code using fmtId(). All users of fmtId()/fmtQualifiedId() are either converted to the explicit version or a call to setFmtEncoding() has been added. This commit does not yet utilize the now well-defined encoding, that will happen in a subsequent commit.

2025-02-10Add pg_encoding_set_invalid()Andres Freund
There are cases where we cannot / do not want to error out for invalidly encoded input. In such cases it can be useful to replace e.g. an incomplete multi-byte characters with bytes that will trigger an error when getting validated as part of a larger string. Unfortunately, until now, for some encoding no such sequence existed. For those encodings this commit removes one previously accepted input combination - we consider that to be ok, as the chosen bytes are outside of the valid ranges for the encodings, we just previously failed to detect that. As we cannot add a new field to pg_wchar_table without breaking ABI, this is implemented "in-line" in the newly added function.

2025-02-10Back-patch pg_encoding_verifymbstr()/pg_encoding_verifymbchar() to v13.Andres Freund
A security fix will need those functions, so back-patch the v14+ functions to v13. When commit b80e10638e36b9d2f0b39170c613837af2ca2aac introduced the v14+ implementation of pg_encoding_verifymbstr(), it added a callback to each pg_wchar_table entry. For simplicity and ABI stability, this instead implements the function in terms of the existing per-character callback.

2025-01-29Avoid breaking SJIS encoding while de-backslashing Windows paths.Tom Lane
When running on Windows, canonicalize_path() converts '\' to '/' to prevent confusing the Windows command processor. It was doing that in a non-encoding-aware fashion; but in SJIS there are valid two-byte characters whose second byte matches '\'. So encoding corruption ensues if such a character is used in the path. We can fairly easily fix this if we know which encoding is in use, but a lot of our utilities don't have much of a clue about that. After some discussion we decided we'd settle for fixing this only in psql, and assuming that its value of client_encoding matches what the user is typing. It seems hopeless to get the server to deal with the problematic characters in database path names, so we'll just declare that case to be unsupported. That means nothing need be done in the server, nor in utility programs whose only contact with file path names is for database paths. But psql frequently deals with client-side file paths, so it'd be good if it didn't mess those up.

2025-01-25At update of non-LP_NORMAL TID, fail instead of corrupting page header.Noah Misch
The right mix of DDL and VACUUM could corrupt a catalog page header such that PageIsVerified() durably fails, requiring a restore from backup. This affects only catalogs that both have a syscache and have DDL code that uses syscache tuples to construct updates. One of the test permutations shows a variant not yet fixed. This makes !TransactionIdIsValid(TM_FailureData.xmax) possible with TM_Deleted. I think core and PGXN are indifferent to that. Per bug #17821 from Alexander Lakhin. Back-patch to v13 (all supported versions). The test case is v17+, since it uses INJECTION_POINT. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/17821-dd8c334263399284@postgresql.org
2025-01-20Avoid using timezone Asia/Manila in regression tests.Tom Lane
The freshly-released 2025a version of tzdata has a refined estimate for the longitude of Manila, changing their value for LMT in pre-standardized-timezone days. This changes the output of one of our test cases. Since we need to be able to run with system tzdata files that may or may not contain this update, we'd better stop making that specific test. I switched it to use Asia/Singapore, which has a roughly similar UTC offset. That LMT value hasn't changed in tzdb since 2003, so we can hope that it's well established. I also noticed that this set of make_timestamptz tests only exercises zones east of Greenwich, which seems rather sad, and was not the original intent AFAICS. (We've already changed these tests once to stabilize their results across tzdata updates, cf 66b737cd9; it looks like I failed to consider the UTC-offset-sign aspect then.) To improve that, add a test with Pacific/Honolulu. That LMT offset is also quite old in tzdb, so we'll cross our fingers that it doesn't get improved.

2025-01-14Avoid symbol collisions between pqsignal.c and legacy-pqsignal.c.Tom Lane
In the name of ABI stability (that is, to avoid a library major version bump for libpq), libpq still exports a version of pqsignal() that we no longer want to use ourselves. However, since that has the same link name as the function exported by src/port/pqsignal.c, there is a link ordering dependency determining which version will actually get used by code that uses libpq as well as libpgport.a. It now emerges that the wrong version has been used by pgbench and psql since commit 06843df4a rearranged their link commands. This can result in odd failures in pgbench with the -T switch, since its SIGALRM handler will now not be marked SA_RESTART. psql may have some edge-case problems in \watch, too. Since we don't want to depend on link ordering effects anymore, let's fix this in the same spirit as b6c7cfac8: use macros to change the actual link names of the competing functions. We cannot change legacy-pqsignal.c's exported name of course, so the victim has to be src/port/pqsignal.c. In master, rename its exported name to be pqsignal_fe in frontend or pqsignal_be in backend. (We could perhaps have gotten away with using the same symbol in both cases, but since the FE and BE versions now work a little differently, it seems advisable to use different names.) In back branches, rename to pqsignal_fe in frontend but keep it as pqsignal in backend. The frontend change could affect third-party code that is calling pqsignal from libpgport.a or libpgport_shlib.a, but only if the code is compiled against port.h from a different minor release than libpgport. Since we don't support using libpgport as a shared library, it seems unlikely that there will be such a problem. I left the backend symbol unchanged to avoid an ABI break for extensions. This means that the link ordering hazard still exists for any extension that links against libpq. However, none of our own extensions use both pqsignal() and libpq, and we're not making things any worse for third-party extensions that do. Report from Andy Fan, diagnosis by Fujii Masao, patch by me. Back-patch to all supported branches, as 06843df4a was. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/87msfz5qv2.fsf@163.com
2025-01-14Fix catcache invalidation of a list entry that's being builtHeikki Linnakangas
If a new catalog tuple is inserted that belongs to a catcache list entry, and cache invalidation happens while the list entry is being built, the list entry might miss the newly inserted tuple. To fix, change the way we detect concurrent invalidations while a catcache entry is being built. Keep a stack of entries that are being built, and apply cache invalidation to those entries in addition to the real catcache entries. This is similar to the in-progress list in relcache.c.

2025-01-08Restore smgrtruncate() prototype in back-branches.Thomas Munro
It's possible that external code is calling smgrtruncate(). Any external callers might like to consider the recent changes to RelationTruncate(), but commit 38c579b0 should not have changed the function prototype in the back-branches, per ABI stability policy. Restore smgrtruncate()'s traditional argument list in the back-branches, but make it a wrapper for a new function smgrtruncate2(). The three callers in core can use smgrtruncate2() directly.

2024-12-28Exclude parallel workers from connection privilege/limit checks.Tom Lane
Cause parallel workers to not check datallowconn, rolcanlogin, and ACL_CONNECT privileges. The leader already checked these things (except for rolcanlogin which might have been checked for a different role). Re-checking can accomplish little except to induce unexpected failures in applications that might not even be aware that their query has been parallelized. We already had the principle that parallel workers rely on their leader to pass a valid set of authorization information, so this change just extends that a bit further. Also, modify the ReservedConnections, datconnlimit and rolconnlimit logic so that these limits are only enforced against regular backends, and only regular backends are counted while checking if the limits were already reached. Previously, background processes that had an assigned database or role were subject to these limits (with rather random exclusions for autovac workers and walsenders), and the set of existing processes that counted against each limit was quite haphazard as well. The point of these limits, AFAICS, is to ensure the availability of PGPROC slots for regular backends. Since all other types of processes have their own separate pools of PGPROC slots, it makes no sense either to enforce these limits against them or to count them while enforcing the limit. While edge-case failures of these sorts have been possible for a long time, the problem got a good deal worse with commit 5a2fed911 (CVE-2024-10978), which caused parallel workers to make some of these checks using the leader's current role where before we had used its AuthenticatedUserId, thus allowing parallel queries to fail after SET ROLE. The previous behavior was fairly accidental and I have no desire to return to it. This patch includes reverting 73c9f91a1, which was an emergency hack to suppress these same checks in some cases. It wasn't complete, as shown by a recent bug report from Laurenz Albe. We can also revert fd4d93d26 and 492217301, which hacked around the same problems in one regression test. In passing, remove the special case for autovac workers in CheckMyDatabase; it seems cleaner to have AutoVacWorkerMain pass the INIT_PG_OVERRIDE_ALLOW_CONNS flag, now that that does what's needed. Like 5a2fed911, back-patch to supported branches (which sadly no longer includes v12). Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/1808397.1735156190@sss.pgh.pa.us
2024-12-28In REASSIGN OWNED of a database, lock the tuple as mandated.Noah Misch
Commit aac2c9b4fde889d13f859c233c2523345e72d32b mandated such locking and attempted to fulfill that mandate, but it missed REASSIGN OWNED. Hence, it remained possible to lose VACUUM's inplace update of datfrozenxid if a REASSIGN OWNED processed that database at the same time. This didn't affect the other inplace-updated catalog, pg_class. For pg_class, REASSIGN OWNED calls ATExecChangeOwner() instead of the generic AlterObjectOwner_internal(), and ATExecChangeOwner() fulfills the locking mandate. Like in GRANT, implement this by following the locking protocol for any catalog subject to the generic AlterObjectOwner_internal(). It would suffice to do this for IsInplaceUpdateOid() catalogs only.

2024-12-20Fix corruption when relation truncation fails.Thomas Munro
RelationTruncate() does three things, while holding an AccessExclusiveLock and preventing checkpoints: 1. Logs the truncation. 2. Drops buffers, even if they're dirty. 3. Truncates some number of files. Step 2 could previously be canceled if it had to wait for I/O, and step 3 could and still can fail in file APIs. All orderings of these operations have data corruption hazards if interrupted, so we can't give up until the whole operation is done. When dirty pages were discarded but the corresponding blocks were left on disk due to ERROR, old page versions could come back from disk, reviving deleted data (see pgsql-bugs #18146 and several like it). When primary and standby were allowed to disagree on relation size, standbys could panic (see pgsql-bugs #18426) or revive data unknown to visibility management on the primary (theorized). Changes: * WAL is now unconditionally flushed first * smgrtruncate() is now called in a critical section, preventing interrupts and causing PANIC on file API failure * smgrtruncate() has a new parameter for existing fork sizes, because it can't call smgrnblocks() itself inside a critical section The changes apply to RelationTruncate(), smgr_redo() and pg_truncate_visibility_map(). That last is also brought up to date with other evolutions of the truncation protocol. The VACUUM FileTruncate() failure mode had been discussed in older reports than the ones referenced below, with independent analysis from many people, but earlier theories on how to fix it were too complicated to back-patch. The more recently invented cancellation bug was diagnosed by Alexander Lakhin. Other corruption scenarios were spotted by me while iterating on this patch and earlier commit 75818b3a.

2024-12-09Simplify executor's determination of whether to use parallelism.Tom Lane
Our parallel-mode code only works when we are executing a query in full, so ExecutePlan must disable parallel mode when it is asked to do partial execution. The previous logic for this involved passing down a flag (variously named execute_once or run_once) from callers of ExecutorRun or PortalRun. This is overcomplicated, and unsurprisingly some of the callers didn't get it right, since it requires keeping state that not all of them have handy; not to mention that the requirements for it were undocumented. That led to assertion failures in some corner cases. The only state we really need for this is the existing QueryDesc.already_executed flag, so let's just put all the responsibility in ExecutePlan. (It could have been done in ExecutorRun too, leading to a slightly shorter patch -- but if there's ever more than one caller of ExecutePlan, it seems better to have this logic in the subroutine than the callers.) This makes those ExecutorRun/PortalRun parameters unnecessary. In master it seems okay to just remove them, returning the API for those functions to what it was before parallelism. Such an API break is clearly not okay in stable branches, but for them we can just leave the parameters in place after documenting that they do nothing. Per report from Yugo Nagata, who also reviewed and tested this patch. Back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20241206062549.710dc01cf91224809dd6c0e1@sraoss.co.jp
2024-11-25Fix NULLIF()'s handling of read-write expanded objects.Tom Lane
If passed a read-write expanded object pointer, the EEOP_NULLIF code would hand that same pointer to the equality function and then (unless equality was reported) also return the same pointer as its value. This is no good, because a function that receives a read-write expanded object pointer is fully entitled to scribble on or even delete the object, thus corrupting the NULLIF output. (This problem is likely unobservable with the equality functions provided in core Postgres, but it's easy to demonstrate with one coded in plpgsql.) To fix, make sure the pointer passed to the equality function is read-only. We can still return the original read-write pointer as the NULLIF result, allowing optimization of later operations. Per bug #18722 from Alexander Lakhin. This has been wrong since we invented expanded objects, so back-patch to all supported branches.

2024-11-25Assume that <stdbool.h> conforms to the C standard.Thomas Munro
Previously we checked "for <stdbool.h> that conforms to C99" using autoconf's AC_HEADER_STDBOOL macro. We've required C99 since PostgreSQL 12, so the test was redundant, and under C23 it was broken: autoconf 2.69's implementation doesn't understand C23's new empty header (the macros it's looking for went away, replaced by language keywords). Later autoconf versions fixed that, but let's just remove the anachronistic test. HAVE_STDBOOL_H and HAVE__BOOL will no longer be defined, but they weren't directly tested in core or likely extensions (except in 11, see below). PG_USE_STDBOOL (or USE_STDBOOL in 11 and 12) is still defined when sizeof(bool) is 1, which should be true on all modern systems. Otherwise we define our own bool type and values of size 1, which would fail to compile under C23 as revealed by the broken test. (We'll probably clean that dead code up in master, but here we want a minimal back-patchable change.) This came to our attention when GCC 15 recently started using using C23 by default and failed to compile the replacement code, as reported by Sam James and build farm animal alligator. Back-patch to all supported releases, and then two older versions that also know about <stdbool.h>, per the recently-out-of-support policy[1]. 12 requires C99 so it's much like the supported releases, but 11 only assumes C89 so it now uses AC_CHECK_HEADERS instead of the overly picky AC_HEADER_STDBOOL. (I could find no discussion of which historical systems had <stdbool.h> but failed the conformance test; if they ever existed, they surely aren't relevant to that policy's goals.)

2024-11-11Fix improper interactions between session_authorization and role.Tom Lane
The SQL spec mandates that SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION implies SET ROLE NONE. We tried to implement that within the lowest-level functions that manipulate these settings, but that was a bad idea. In particular, guc.c assumes that it doesn't matter in what order it applies GUC variable updates, but that was not the case for these two variables. This problem, compounded by some hackish attempts to work around it, led to some security-grade issues: * Rolling back a transaction that had done SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION would revert to SET ROLE NONE, even if that had not been the previous state, so that the effective user ID might now be different from what it had been. * The same for SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION in a function SET clause. * If a parallel worker inspected current_setting('role'), it saw "none" even when it should see something else. Also, although the parallel worker startup code intended to cope with the current role's pg_authid row having disappeared, its implementation of that was incomplete so it would still fail. Fix by fully separating the miscinit.c functions that assign session_authorization from those that assign role. To implement the spec's requirement, teach set_config_option itself to perform "SET ROLE NONE" when it sets session_authorization. (This is undoubtedly ugly, but the alternatives seem worse. In particular, there's no way to do it within assign_session_authorization without incompatible changes in the API for GUC assign hooks.) Also, improve ParallelWorkerMain to directly set all the relevant user-ID variables instead of relying on some of them to get set indirectly. That allows us to survive not finding the pg_authid row during worker startup. In v16 and earlier, this includes back-patching 9987a7bf3 which fixed a violation of GUC coding rules: SetSessionAuthorization is not an appropriate place to be throwing errors from.

2024-11-08Check for STATUS_DELETE_PENDING on Windows.Thomas Munro
1. Update our open() wrapper to check for NT's STATUS_DELETE_PENDING and translate it to Unix-like errors. This is done with RtlGetLastNtStatus(), which is dynamically loaded from ntdll. A new file win32ntdll.c centralizes lookup of NT functions, in case we decide to add more in the future. 2. Remove non-working code that was trying to do something similar for stat(), and just reuse the open() wrapper code. As a side effect, stat() also gains resilience against "sharing violation" errors. 3. Since stat() is used very early in process startup, remove the requirement that the Win32 signal event has been created before pgwin32_open_handle() is reached. Instead, teach pg_usleep() to fall back to a non-interruptible sleep if reached before the signal event is available. This could be back-patched, but for now it's in master only. The problem has apparently been with us for a long time and generated only a few complaints. Proposed patches trigger it more often, which led to this investigation and fix.

2024-11-08Fix -Wcast-function-type warningsPeter Eisentraut
Three groups of issues needed to be addressed: load_external_function() and related functions returned PGFunction, even though not necessarily all callers are looking for a function of type PGFunction.

In dynahash.c, we are using strlcpy() where a function with a signature like memcpy() is expected. This should be safe, as the new comment there explains, but the cast needs to be augmented to avoid the warning. In PL/Python, methods all need to be cast to PyCFunction, per Python API, but this now runs afoul of these warnings. (This issue also exists in core CPython.)

2024-11-06Monkey-patch LLVM code to fix ARM relocation bug.Thomas Munro
Supply a new memory manager for RuntimeDyld, to avoid crashes in generated code caused by memory placement that can overflow a 32 bit data type. This is a drop-in replacement for the llvm::SectionMemoryManager class in the LLVM library, with Michael Smith's proposed fix from https://www.github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/71968. We hereby slurp it into our own source tree, after moving into a new namespace llvm::backport and making some minor adjustments so that it can be compiled with older LLVM versions as far back as 12. It's harder to make it work on even older LLVM versions, but it doesn't seem likely that people are really using them so that is not investigated for now. The problem could also be addressed by switching to JITLink instead of RuntimeDyld, and that is the LLVM project's recommended solution as the latter is about to be deprecated. We'll have to do that soon enough anyway, and then when the LLVM version support window advances far enough in a few years we'll be able to delete this code. Unfortunately that wouldn't be enough for PostgreSQL today: in most relevant versions of LLVM, JITLink is missing or incomplete. Several other projects have already back-ported this fix into their fork of LLVM, which is a vote of confidence despite the lack of commit into LLVM as of today. We don't have our own copy of LLVM so we can't do exactly what they've done; instead we have a copy of the whole patched class so we can pass an instance of it to RuntimeDyld. The LLVM project hasn't chosen to commit the fix yet, and even if it did, it wouldn't be back-ported into the releases of LLVM that most of our users care about, so there is not much point in waiting any longer for that. If they make further changes and commit it to LLVM 19 or 20, we'll still need this for older versions, but we may want to resynchronize our copy and update some comments. The changes that we've had to make to our copy can be seen by diffing our SectionMemoryManager.{h,cpp} files against the ones in the tree of the pull request.

2024-10-29doc: Add better description for rewrite functions in event triggersMichael Paquier
There are two functions that can be used in event triggers to get more details about a rewrite happening on a relation. Both had a limited documentation: - pg_event_trigger_table_rewrite_reason() and pg_event_trigger_table_rewrite_oid() were not mentioned in the main event trigger section in the paragraph dedicated to the event table_rewrite. - pg_event_trigger_table_rewrite_reason() returns an integer which is a bitmap of the reasons why a rewrite happens. There was no explanation about the meaning of these values, forcing the reader to look at the code to find out that these are defined in event_trigger.h. While on it, let's add a comment in event_trigger.h where the AT_REWRITE_* are defined, telling to update the documentation when these values are changed. Backpatch down to 13 as a consequence of 1ad23335f36b, where this area of the documentation has been heavily reworked.

2024-10-25For inplace update, send nontransactional invalidations.Noah Misch
The inplace update survives ROLLBACK. The inval didn't, so another backend's DDL could then update the row without incorporating the inplace update. In the test this fixes, a mix of CREATE INDEX and ALTER TABLE resulted in a table with an index, yet relhasindex=f. That is a source of index corruption. Back-patch to v12 (all supported versions). The back branch versions don't change WAL, because those branches just added end-of-recovery SIResetAll(). All branches change the ABI of extern function PrepareToInvalidateCacheTuple().

2024-10-25At end of recovery, reset all sinval-managed caches.Noah Misch
An inplace update's invalidation messages are part of its transaction's commit record. However, the update survives even if its transaction aborts or we stop recovery before replaying its transaction commit. After recovery, a backend that started in recovery could update the row without incorporating the inplace update. That could result in a table with an index, yet relhasindex=f. That is a source of index corruption. This bulk invalidation avoids the functional consequences. A future change can fix the !RecoveryInProgress() scenario without changing the WAL format.

2024-09-24For inplace update durability, make heap_update() callers wait.Noah Misch
The previous commit fixed some ways of losing an inplace update. It remained possible to lose one when a backend working toward a heap_update() copied a tuple into memory just before inplace update of that tuple. In catalogs eligible for inplace update, use LOCKTAG_TUPLE to govern admission to the steps of copying an old tuple, modifying it, and issuing heap_update(). This includes MERGE commands. To avoid changing most of the pg_class DDL, don't require LOCKTAG_TUPLE when holding a relation lock sufficient to exclude inplace updaters. Back-patch to v12 (all supported versions). In v13 and v12, "UPDATE pg_class" or "UPDATE pg_database" can still lose an inplace update. The v14+ UPDATE fix needs commit 86dc90056dfdbd9d1b891718d2e5614e3e432f35, and it wasn't worth reimplementing that fix without such infrastructure.

2024-09-24Fix data loss at inplace update after heap_update().Noah Misch
As previously-added tests demonstrated, heap_inplace_update() could instead update an unrelated tuple of the same catalog. It could lose the update. Losing relhasindex=t was a source of index corruption. Inplace-updating commands like VACUUM will now wait for heap_update() commands like GRANT TABLE and GRANT DATABASE. That isn't ideal, but a long-running GRANT already hurts VACUUM progress more just by keeping an XID running. The VACUUM will behave like a DELETE or UPDATE waiting for the uncommitted change. For implementation details, start at the systable_inplace_update_begin() header comment and README.tuplock. Back-patch to v12 (all supported versions).

2024-08-10Allow adjusting session_authorization and role in parallel workers.Tom Lane
The code intends to allow GUCs to be set within parallel workers via function SET clauses, but not otherwise. However, doing so fails for "session_authorization" and "role", because the assign hooks for those attempt to set the subsidiary "is_superuser" GUC, and that call falls foul of the "not otherwise" prohibition. We can't switch to using GUC_ACTION_SAVE for this, so instead add a new GUC variable flag GUC_ALLOW_IN_PARALLEL to mark is_superuser as being safe to set anyway. (This is okay because is_superuser has context PGC_INTERNAL and thus only hard-wired calls can change it. We'd need more thought before applying the flag to other GUCs; but maybe there are other use-cases.) This isn't the prettiest fix perhaps, but other alternatives we thought of would be much more invasive. While here, correct a thinko in commit 059de3ca4: when rejecting a GUC setting within a parallel worker, we should return 0 not -1 if the ereport doesn't longjmp. (This seems to have no consequences right now because no caller cares, but it's inconsistent.) Improve the comments to try to forestall future confusion of the same kind. Despite the lack of field complaints, this seems worth back-patching. Thanks to Nathan Bossart for the idea to invent a new flag, and for review.

2024-08-05Restrict accesses to non-system views and foreign tables during pg_dump.Masahiko Sawada
When pg_dump retrieves the list of database objects and performs the data dump, there was possibility that objects are replaced with others of the same name, such as views, and access them. This vulnerability could result in code execution with superuser privileges during the pg_dump process. This issue can arise when dumping data of sequences, foreign tables (only 13 or later), or tables registered with a WHERE clause in the extension configuration table. To address this, pg_dump now utilizes the newly introduced restrict_nonsystem_relation_kind GUC parameter to restrict the accesses to non-system views and foreign tables during the dump process. This new GUC parameter is added to back branches too, but these changes do not require cluster recreation. Back-patch to all supported branches.

2024-07-11Fix possibility of logical decoding partial transaction changes.Masahiko Sawada
When creating and initializing a logical slot, the restart_lsn is set to the latest WAL insertion point (or the latest replay point on standbys). Subsequently, WAL records are decoded from that point to find the start point for extracting changes in the DecodingContextFindStartpoint() function. Since the initial restart_lsn could be in the middle of a transaction, the start point must be a consistent point where we won't see the data for partial transactions. Previously, when not building a full snapshot, serialized snapshots were restored, and the SnapBuild jumps to the consistent state even while finding the start point. Consequently, the slot's restart_lsn and confirmed_flush could be set to the middle of a transaction. This could lead to various unexpected consequences. Specifically, there were reports of logical decoding decoding partial transactions, and assertion failures occurred because only subtransactions were decoded without decoding their top-level transaction until decoding the commit record. To resolve this issue, the changes prevent restoring the serialized snapshot and jumping to the consistent state while finding the start point. On v17 and HEAD, a flag indicating whether snapshot restores should be skipped has been added to the SnapBuild struct, and SNAPBUILD_VERSION has been bumpded. On backbranches, the flag is stored in the LogicalDecodingContext instead, preserving on-disk compatibility. Backpatch to all supported versions.

2024-07-06Cope with <regex.h> name clashes.Thomas Munro
macOS 15's SDK pulls in headers related to <regex.h> when we include <xlocale.h>. This causes our own regex_t implementation to clash with the OS's regex_t implementation. Luckily our function names already had pg_ prefixes, but the macros and typenames did not. Include <regex.h> explicitly on all POSIX systems, and fix everything that breaks. Then we can prove that we are capable of fully hiding and replacing the system regex API with our own. 1. Deal with standard-clobbering macros by undefining them all first. POSIX says they are "symbolic constants". If they are macros, this allows us to redefine them. If they are enums or variables, our macros will hide them. 2. Deal with standard-clobbering types by giving our types pg_ prefixes, and then using macros to redirect xxx_t -> pg_xxx_t. After including our "regex/regex.h", the system <regex.h> is hidden, because we've replaced all the standard names. The PostgreSQL source tree and extensions can continue to use standard prefix-less type and macro names, but reach our implementation, if they included our "regex/regex.h" header. Back-patch to all supported branches, so that macOS 15's tool chain can build them.

2024-06-27Lock before setting relhassubclass on RELKIND_PARTITIONED_INDEX.Noah Misch
Commit 5b562644fec696977df4a82790064e8287927891 added a comment that SetRelationHasSubclass() callers must hold this lock. When commit 17f206fbc824d2b4b14480199ca9ff7dea417eda extended use of this column to partitioned indexes, it didn't take the lock. As the latter commit message mentioned, we currently never reset a partitioned index to relhassubclass=f. That largely avoids harm from the lock omission. The cause for fixing this now is to unblock introducing a rule about locks required to heap_update() a pg_class row. This might cause more deadlocks. It gives minor user-visible benefits: - If an ALTER INDEX SET TABLESPACE runs concurrently with ALTER TABLE ATTACH PARTITION or CREATE PARTITION OF, one transaction blocks instead of failing with "tuple concurrently updated". (Many cases of DDL concurrency still fail that way.) - Match ALTER INDEX ATTACH PARTITION in choosing to lock the index. While not user-visible today, we'll need this if we ever make something set the flag to false for a partitioned index, like ANALYZE does today for tables.

We did not recover the subtransaction IDs of prepared transactions when starting a hot standby from a shutdown checkpoint. As a result, such subtransactions were considered as aborted, rather than in-progress. That would lead to hint bits being set incorrectly, and the subtransactions suddenly becoming visible to old snapshots when the prepared transaction was committed.

2024-06-17Fix insertion of SP-GiST REDIRECT tuples during REINDEX CONCURRENTLY.Tom Lane
Reconstruction of an SP-GiST index by REINDEX CONCURRENTLY may insert some REDIRECT tuples. This will typically happen in a transaction that lacks an XID, which leads either to assertion failure in spgFormDeadTuple or to insertion of a REDIRECT tuple with zero xid. The latter's not good either, since eventually VACUUM will apply GlobalVisTestIsRemovableXid() to the zero xid, resulting in either an assertion failure or a garbage answer. In practice, since REINDEX CONCURRENTLY locks out index scans till it's done, it doesn't matter whether it inserts REDIRECTs or PLACEHOLDERs; and likewise it doesn't matter how soon VACUUM reduces such a REDIRECT to a PLACEHOLDER. So in non-assert builds there's no observable problem here, other than perhaps a little index bloat. But it's not behaving as intended. To fix, remove the failing Assert in spgFormDeadTuple, acknowledging that we might sometimes insert a zero XID; and guard VACUUM's GlobalVisTestIsRemovableXid() call with a test for valid XID, ensuring that we'll reduce such a REDIRECT the first time VACUUM sees it. (Versions before v14 use TransactionIdPrecedes here, which won't fail on zero xid, so they really have no bug at all in non-assert builds.) Another solution could be to not create REDIRECTs at all during REINDEX CONCURRENTLY, making the relevant code paths treat that case like index build (which likewise knows that no concurrent index scans can be happening). That would allow restoring the Assert in spgFormDeadTuple, but we'd still need the VACUUM change because redirection tuples with zero xid may be out there already. But there doesn't seem to be a nice way for spginsert() to tell that it's being called in REINDEX CONCURRENTLY without some API changes, so we'll leave that as a possible future improvement. In HEAD, also rename the SpGistState.myXid field to redirectXid, which seems less misleading (since it might not in fact be our transaction's XID) and is certainly less uninformatively generic.

2024-05-18Account for optimized MinMax aggregates during SS_finalize_plan.Tom Lane
We are capable of optimizing MIN() and MAX() aggregates on indexed columns into subqueries that exploit the index, rather than the normal thing of scanning the whole table. When we do this, we replace the Aggref node(s) with Params referencing subquery outputs. Such Params really ought to be included in the per-plan-node extParam/allParam sets computed by SS_finalize_plan. However, we've never done so up to now because of an ancient implementation choice to perform that substitution during set_plan_references, which runs after SS_finalize_plan, so that SS_finalize_plan never sees these Params. The cleanest fix would be to perform a separate tree walk to do these substitutions before SS_finalize_plan runs. That seems unattractive, first because a whole-tree mutation pass is expensive, and second because we lack infrastructure for visiting expression subtrees in a Plan tree, so that we'd need a new function knowing as much as SS_finalize_plan knows about that. I also considered swapping the order of SS_finalize_plan and set_plan_references, but that fell foul of various assumptions that seem tricky to fix. So the approach adopted here is to teach SS_finalize_plan itself to check for such Aggrefs. I refactored things a bit in setrefs.c to avoid having three copies of the code that does that.

2024-04-02Avoid deadlock during orphan temp table removal.Tom Lane
If temp tables have dependencies (such as sequences) then it's possible for autovacuum's cleanup of orphan temp tables to deadlock against an incoming backend that's trying to clean out the temp namespace for its own use. That can happen because RemoveTempRelations' performDeletion call can visit objects within the namespace in an order different from the order in which a per-table deletion will visit them. To fix, observe that performDeletion will begin by taking an exclusive lock on the temp namespace (even though it won't actually delete it). So, if we can get a shared lock on the namespace, we can be sure we're not running concurrently with RemoveTempRelations, while also not conflicting with ordinary use of the namespace.

2024-03-12Fix confusion about the return rowtype of SQL-language procedures.Tom Lane
There is a very ancient hack in check_sql_fn_retval that allows a single SELECT targetlist entry of composite type to be taken as supplying all the output columns of a function returning composite. (This is grotty and fundamentally ambiguous, but it's really hard to do nested composite-returning functions without it.) As far as I know, that doesn't cause any problems in ordinary functions. It's disastrous for procedures however. All procedures that have any output parameters are labeled with prorettype RECORD, and the CALL code expects it will get back a record with one column per output parameter, regardless of whether any of those parameters is composite. Doing something else leads to an assertion failure or core dump. This is simple enough to fix: we just need to not apply that rule when considering procedures. However, that requires adding another argument to check_sql_fn_retval, which at least in principle might be getting called by external callers. Therefore, in the back branches convert check_sql_fn_retval into an ABI-preserving wrapper around a new function check_sql_fn_retval_ext. Per report from Yahor Yuzefovich.
