2013-10-10Rework SSL renegotiation codeAlvaro Herrera
The existing renegotiation code was home for several bugs: it might erroneously report that renegotiation had failed; it might try to execute another renegotiation while the previous one was pending; it failed to terminate the connection if the renegotiation never actually took place; if a renegotiation was started, the byte count was reset, even if the renegotiation wasn't completed (this isn't good from a security perspective because it means continuing to use a session that should be considered compromised due to volume of data transferred.) The new code is structured to avoid these pitfalls: renegotiation is started a little earlier than the limit has expired; the handshake sequence is retried until it has actually returned successfully, and no more than that, but if it fails too many times, the connection is closed. The byte count is reset only when the renegotiation has succeeded, and if the renegotiation byte count limit expires, the connection is terminated. This commit only touches the master branch, because some of the changes are controversial. If everything goes well, a back-patch might be considered.

2013-10-10Remove maintainer-check target, fold into normal buildPeter Eisentraut
make maintainer-check was obscure and rarely called in practice, and many breakages were missed. Fold everything that make maintainer-check used to do into the normal build. Specifically: - Call duplicate_oids when genbki.pl is called. - Check for tabs in SGML files when the documentation is built. - Run msgfmt with the -c option during the regular build. Add an additional configure check to see whether we are using the GNU version. (make maintainer-check probably used to fail with non-GNU msgfmt.) Keep maintainer-check as around as phony target for the time being in case anyone is calling it. But it won't do anything anymore.

2013-10-09Add record_image_ops opclass for matview concurrent refresh.Kevin Grittner
REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW CONCURRENTLY was broken for any matview containing a column of a type without a default btree operator class. It also did not produce results consistent with a non- concurrent REFRESH or a normal view if any column was of a type which allowed user-visible differences between values which compared as equal according to the type's default btree opclass. Concurrent matview refresh was modified to use the new operators to solve these problems. Documentation was added for record comparison, both for the default btree operator class for record, and the newly added operators. Regression tests now check for proper behavior both for a matview with a box column and a matview containing a citext column. Reviewed by Steve Singer, who suggested some of the doc language.

2013-10-08TYPEALIGN doesn't work on int64 on 32-bit platforms.Heikki Linnakangas
The TYPEALIGN macro, and the related ones like MAXALIGN, don't work with values larger than intptr_t, because TYPEALIGN casts the argument to intptr_t to do the arithmetic. That's not a problem when dealing with pointers or lengths or offsets related to pointers, but the XLogInsert scaling patch added a call to MAXALIGN with an XLogRecPtr argument. To fix, add wider variants of the macros, called TYPEALIGN64 and MAXALIGN64, which are just like the existing variants but work with uint64 instead of intptr_t. Report and patch by David Rowley, analysis by Andres Freund.
2013-10-07Eliminate xmin from hash tag for predicate locks on heap tuples.Kevin Grittner
If a tuple was frozen while its predicate locks mattered, read-write dependencies could be missed, resulting in failure to detect conflicts which could lead to anomalies in committed serializable transactions. This field was added to the tag when we still thought that it was necessary to carry locks forward to a new version of an updated row. That was later proven to be unnecessary, which allowed simplification of the code, but elimination of xmin from the tag was missed at the time. Per report and analysis by Heikki Linnakangas. Backpatch to 9.1.

2013-10-03Minor GIN code refactoring.Heikki Linnakangas
It makes for cleaner code to have separate Get/Add functions for PostingItems and ItemPointers.

2013-09-05Make catalog cache hash tables resizeable.Heikki Linnakangas
If the hash table backing a catalog cache becomes too full (fillfactor > 2), enlarge it. A new buckets array, double the size of the old, is allocated, and all entries in the old hash are moved to the right bucket in the new hash. This has two benefits. First, cache lookups don't get so expensive when there are lots of entries in a cache, like if you access hundreds of thousands of tables. Second, we can make the (initial) sizes of the caches much smaller, which saves memory. This patch dials down the initial sizes of the catcaches. The new sizes are chosen so that a backend that only runs a few basic queries still won't need to enlarge any of them.

2013-09-03Allow aggregate functions to be VARIADIC.Tom Lane
There's no inherent reason why an aggregate function can't be variadic (even VARIADIC ANY) if its transition function can handle the case. Indeed, this patch to add the feature touches none of the planner or executor, and little of the parser; the main missing stuff was DDL and pg_dump support. It is true that variadic aggregates can create the same sort of ambiguity about parameters versus ORDER BY keys that was complained of when we (briefly) had both one- and two-argument forms of string_agg(). However, the policy formed in response to that discussion only said that we'd not create any built-in aggregates with varying numbers of arguments, not that we shouldn't allow users to do it. So the logical extension of that is we can allow users to make variadic aggregates as long as we're wary about shipping any such in core. In passing, this patch allows aggregate function arguments to be named, to the extent of remembering the names in pg_proc and dumping them in pg_dump. You can't yet call an aggregate using named-parameter notation. That seems like a likely future extension, but it'll take some work, and it's not what this patch is really about. Likewise, there's still some work needed to make window functions handle VARIADIC fully, but I left that for another day. initdb forced because of new aggvariadic field in Aggref parse nodes.

2013-08-29Use a non-locking initial test in TAS_SPIN on x86_64.Heikki Linnakangas
Testing done in 2011 by Tom Lane concluded that this is a win on Intel Xeons and AMD Opterons, but it was not changed back then, because of an old comment in tas() that suggested that it's a huge loss on older Opterons. However, didn't have separate TAS() and TAS_SPIN() macros back then, so the comment referred to doing a non-locked initial test even on the first access, in uncontended case. I don't have access to older Opterons, but I'm pretty sure that doing an initial unlocked test is unlikely to be a loss while spinning, even though it might be for the first access. We probably should do the same on 32-bit x86, but I'm afraid of changing it without any testing. Hence just add a note to the x86 implementation suggesting that we probably should do the same there.
2013-08-28Allow discovery of whether a dynamic background worker is running.Robert Haas
Using the infrastructure provided by this patch, it's possible either to wait for the startup of a dynamically-registered background worker, or to poll the status of such a worker without waiting. In either case, the current PID of the worker process can also be obtained. As usual, worker_spi is updated to demonstrate the new functionality. Patch by me. Review by Andres Freund.
2013-08-23In locate_grouping_columns(), don't expect an exact match of Var typmods.Tom Lane
It's possible that inlining of SQL functions (or perhaps other changes?) has exposed typmod information not known at parse time. In such cases, Vars generated by query_planner might have valid typmod values while the original grouping columns only have typmod -1. This isn't a semantic problem since the behavior of grouping only depends on type not typmod, but it breaks locate_grouping_columns' use of tlist_member to locate the matching entry in query_planner's result tlist. We can fix this without an excessive amount of new code or complexity by relying on the fact that locate_grouping_columns only gets called when make_subplanTargetList has set need_tlist_eval == false, and that can only happen if all the grouping columns are simple Vars. Therefore we only need to search the sub_tlist for a matching Var, and we can reasonably define a "match" as being a match of the Var identity fields varno/varattno/varlevelsup. The code still Asserts that vartype matches, but ignores vartypmod. Per bug #8393 from Evan Martin. The added regression test case is basically the same as his example. This has been broken for a very long time, so back-patch to all supported branches.
2013-08-20Unconditionally use the WSA equivalents of Socket error constants.Andrew Dunstan

2013-08-19Fix pg_upgrade failure from servers older than 9.3Alvaro Herrera
When upgrading from servers of versions 9.2 and older, and MultiXactIds have been used in the old server beyond the first page (that is, 2048 multis or more in the default 8kB-page build), pg_upgrade would set the next multixact offset to use beyond what has been allocated in the new cluster. This would cause a failure the first time the new cluster needs to use this value, because the pg_multixact/offsets/ file wouldn't exist or wouldn't be large enough. To fix, ensure that the transient server instances launched by pg_upgrade extend the file as necessary.

2013-08-17Fix planner problems with LATERAL references in PlaceHolderVars.Tom Lane
The planner largely failed to consider the possibility that a PlaceHolderVar's expression might contain a lateral reference to a Var coming from somewhere outside the PHV's syntactic scope. We had a previous report of a problem in this area, which I tried to fix in a quick-hack way in commit 4da6439bd8553059766011e2a42c6e39df08717f, but Antonin Houska pointed out that there were still some problems, and investigation turned up other issues. This patch largely reverts that commit in favor of a more thoroughly thought-through solution. The new theory is that a PHV's ph_eval_at level cannot be higher than its original syntactic level. If it contains lateral references, those don't change the ph_eval_at level, but rather they create a lateral-reference requirement for the ph_eval_at join relation. The code in joinpath.c needs to handle that. Another issue is that createplan.c wasn't handling nested PlaceHolderVars properly. In passing, push knowledge of lateral-reference checks for join clauses into join_clause_is_movable_to. This is mainly so that FDWs don't need to deal with it. This patch doesn't fix the original join-qual-placement problem reported by Jeremy Evans (and indeed, one of the new regression test cases shows the wrong answer because of that). But the PlaceHolderVar problems need to be fixed before that issue can be addressed, so committing this separately seems reasonable.

2013-08-14Remove ph_may_need from PlaceHolderInfo, with attendant simplifications.Tom Lane
The planner logic that attempted to make a preliminary estimate of the ph_needed levels for PlaceHolderVars seems to be completely broken by lateral references. Fortunately, the potential join order optimization that this code supported seems to be of relatively little value in practice; so let's just get rid of it rather than trying to fix it. Getting rid of this allows fairly substantial simplifications in placeholder.c, too, so planning in such cases should be a bit faster. Issue noted while pursuing bugs reported by Jeremy Evans and Antonin Houska, though this doesn't in itself fix either of their reported cases. What this does do is prevent an Assert crash in the kind of query illustrated by the added regression test. (I'm not sure that the plan for that query is stable enough across platforms to be usable as a regression test output ... but we'll soon find out from the buildfarm.) Back-patch to 9.3. The problem case can't arise without LATERAL, so no need to touch older branches.
2013-08-13Emit a log message if output is about to be redirected away from stderr.Tom Lane
We've seen multiple cases of people looking at the postmaster's original stderr output to try to diagnose problems, not realizing/remembering that their logging configuration is set up to send log messages somewhere else. This seems particularly likely to happen in prepackaged distributions, since many packagers patch the code to change the factory-standard logging configuration to something more in line with their platform conventions. In hopes of reducing confusion, emit a LOG message about this at the point in startup where we are about to switch log output away from the original stderr, providing a pointer to where to look instead. This message will appear as the last thing in the original stderr output. (We might later also try to emit such link messages when logging parameters are changed on-the-fly; but that case seems to be both noticeably harder to do nicely, and much less frequently a problem in practice.) Per discussion, back-patch to 9.3 but not further.
2013-08-05Simplify query_planner's API by having it return the top-level RelOptInfo.Tom Lane
Formerly, query_planner returned one or possibly two Paths for the topmost join relation, so that grouping_planner didn't see the join RelOptInfo (at least not directly; it didn't have any hesitation about examining cheapest_path->parent, though). However, correct selection of the Paths involved a significant amount of coupling between query_planner and grouping_planner, a problem which has gotten worse over time. It seems best to give up on this API choice and instead return the topmost RelOptInfo explicitly. Then grouping_planner can pull out the Paths it wants from the rel's path list. In this way we can remove all knowledge of grouping behaviors from query_planner. The only real benefit of the old way is that in the case of an empty FROM clause, we never made any RelOptInfos at all, just a Path. Now we have to gin up a dummy RelOptInfo to represent the empty FROM clause. That's not a very big deal though. While at it, simplify query_planner's API a bit more by having the caller set up root->tuple_fraction and root->limit_tuples, rather than passing those values as separate parameters. Since query_planner no longer does anything with either value, requiring it to fill the PlannerInfo fields seemed pretty arbitrary. This patch just rearranges code; it doesn't (intentionally) change any behaviors. Followup patches will do more interesting things.
2013-08-02Fix crash in error report of invalid tuple lockAlvaro Herrera
My tweak of these error messages in commit c359a1b082 contained the thinko that a query would always have rowMarks set for a query containing a locking clause. Not so: when declaring a cursor, for instance, rowMarks isn't set at the point we're checking, so we'd be dereferencing a NULL pointer. The fix is to pass the lock strength to the function raising the error, instead of trying to reverse-engineer it. The result not only is more robust, but it also seems cleaner overall. Per report from Robert Haas.

2013-08-01Remove SnapshotNow and HeapTupleSatisfiesNow.Robert Haas
We now use MVCC catalog scans, and, per discussion, have eliminated all other remaining uses of SnapshotNow, so that we can now get rid of it. This will break third-party code which is still using it, which is intentional, as we want such code to be updated to do things the new way.
2013-08-01Allow a context to be passed in for error handlingStephen Frost
As pointed out by Tom Lane, we can allow other users of the error handler callbacks to provide their own memory context by adding the context to use to ErrorData and using that instead of explicitly using ErrorContext. This then allows GetErrorContextStack() to be called from inside exception handlers, so modify plpgsql to take advantage of that and add an associated regression test for it.

2013-07-25Prevent leakage of SPI tuple tables during subtransaction abort.Tom Lane
plpgsql often just remembers SPI-result tuple tables in local variables, and has no mechanism for freeing them if an ereport(ERROR) causes an escape out of the execution function whose local variable it is. In the original coding, that wasn't a problem because the tuple table would be cleaned up when the function's SPI context went away during transaction abort. However, once plpgsql grew the ability to trap exceptions, repeated trapping of errors within a function could result in significant intra-function-call memory leakage, as illustrated in bug #8279 from Chad Wagner. We could fix this locally in plpgsql with a bunch of PG_TRY/PG_CATCH coding, but that would be tedious, probably slow, and prone to bugs of omission; moreover it would do nothing for similar risks elsewhere. What seems like a better plan is to make SPI itself responsible for freeing tuple tables at subtransaction abort. This patch attacks the problem that way, keeping a list of live tuple tables within each SPI function context. Currently, such freeing is automatic for tuple tables made within the failed subtransaction. We might later add a SPI call to mark a tuple table as not to be freed this way, allowing callers to opt out; but until someone exhibits a clear use-case for such behavior, it doesn't seem worth bothering. A very useful side-effect of this change is that SPI_freetuptable() can now defend itself against bad calls, such as duplicate free requests; this should make things more robust in many places. (In particular, this reduces the risks involved if a third-party extension contains now-redundant SPI_freetuptable() calls in error cleanup code.) Even though the leakage problem is of long standing, it seems imprudent to back-patch this into stable branches, since it does represent an API semantics change for SPI users. We'll patch this in 9.3, but live with the leakage in older branches.
2013-07-24Add GET DIAGNOSTICS ... PG_CONTEXT in PL/PgSQLStephen Frost

2013-07-24Improve ilist.h's support for deletion of slist elements during iteration.Tom Lane
Previously one had to use slist_delete(), implying an additional scan of the list, making this infrastructure considerably less efficient than traditional Lists when deletion of element(s) in a long list is needed. Modify the slist_foreach_modify() macro to support deleting the current element in O(1) time, by keeping a "prev" pointer in addition to "cur" and "next". Although this makes iteration with this macro a bit slower, no real harm is done, since in any scenario where you're not going to delete the current list element you might as well just use slist_foreach instead. Improve the comments about when to use each macro. Back-patch to 9.3 so that we'll have consistent semantics in all branches that provide ilist.h. Note this is an ABI break for callers of slist_foreach_modify(). Andres Freund and Tom Lane
2013-07-23Move strip_implicit_coercions() from optimizer to nodeFuncs.c.Tom Lane
Use of this function has spread into the parser and rewriter, so it seems like time to pull it out of the optimizer and put it into the more central nodeFuncs module. This eliminates the need to #include optimizer/clauses.h in most of the calling files, demonstrating that this function was indeed a bit outside the normal code reference patterns.
2013-07-23Change post-rewriter representation of dropped columns in joinaliasvars.Tom Lane
It's possible to drop a column from an input table of a JOIN clause in a view, if that column is nowhere actually referenced in the view. But it will still be there in the JOIN clause's joinaliasvars list. We used to replace such entries with NULL Const nodes, which is handy for generation of RowExpr expansion of a whole-row reference to the view. The trouble with that is that it can't be distinguished from the situation after subquery pull-up of a constant subquery output expression below the JOIN. Instead, replace such joinaliasvars with null pointers (empty expression trees), which can't be confused with pulled-up expressions. expandRTE() still emits the old convention, though, for convenience of RowExpr generation and to reduce the risk of breaking extension code. In HEAD and 9.3, this patch also fixes a problem with some new code in ruleutils.c that was failing to cope with implicitly-casted joinaliasvars entries, as per recent report from Feike Steenbergen. That oversight was because of an inadequate description of the data structure in parsenodes.h, which I've now corrected. There were some pre-existing oversights of the same ilk elsewhere, which I believe are now all fixed.
