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.

2024-11-06Monkey-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. Per the LLVM project's license requirements, a copy is in SectionMemoryManager.LICENSE. This should fix the spate of crash reports we've been receiving lately from users on large memory ARM systems. Back-patch to all supported releases.

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.

2024-10-28Guard against enormously long input in pg_saslprep().Tom Lane
Coverity complained that pg_saslprep() could suffer integer overflow, leading to under-allocation of the output buffer, if the input string exceeds SIZE_MAX/4. This hazard seems largely hypothetical, but it's easy enough to defend against, so let's do so. This patch creates a third place in src/common/ where we are locally defining MaxAllocSize so that we can test against that in the same way in backend and frontend compiles. That seems like about two places too many, so the next patch will move that into common/fe_memutils.h. I'm hesitant to do that in back branches however. Back-patch to v14. The code looks similar in older branches, but before commit 67a472d71 there was a separate test on the input string length that prevented this hazard. Per Coverity report.

2024-10-25WAL-log inplace update before revealing it to other sessions.Noah Misch
A buffer lock won't stop a reader having already checked tuple visibility.

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.

2024-10-23ecpg: Fix out-of-bound read in DecodeDateTime()Michael Paquier
It was possible for the code to read out-of-bound data from the "day_tab" table with some crafted input data. Let's treat these as invalid input as the month number is incorrect. A test is added to test this case with a check on the errno returned by the decoding routine. A test close to the new one added in this commit was testing for a failure, but did not look at the errno generated, so let's use this commit to also change it, adding a check on the errno returned by DecodeDateTime(). Like the other test scripts, dt_test should likely be expanded to include more checks based on the errnos generated in these code paths. This is left as future work.

2024-10-22Restructure foreign key handling code for ATTACH/DETACHÁlvaro Herrera
... to fix bugs when the referenced table is partitioned. The catalog representation we chose for foreign keys connecting partitioned tables (in commit f56f8f8da6af) is inconvenient, in the sense that a standalone table has a different way to represent the constraint when referencing a partitioned table, than when the same table becomes a partition (and vice versa). Because of this, we need to create additional catalog rows on detach (pg_constraint and pg_trigger), and remove them on attach. We were doing some of those things, but not all of them, leading to missing catalog rows in certain cases. The worst problem seems to be that we are missing action triggers after detaching a partition, which means that you could update/delete rows from the referenced partitioned table that still had referencing rows on that table, the server failing to throw the required errors. !!! Note that this means existing databases with FKs that reference partitioned tables might have rows that break relational integrity, on tables that were once partitions on the referencing side of the FK. Another possible problem is that trying to reattach a table that had been detached would fail indicating that internal triggers cannot be found, which from the user's point of view is nonsensical. In branches 15 and above, we fix this by creating a new helper function addFkConstraint() which is in charge of creating a standalone pg_constraint row, and repurposing addFkRecurseReferencing() and addFkRecurseReferenced() so that they're only the recursive routine for each side of the FK, and they call addFkConstraint() to create pg_constraint at each partitioning level and add the necessary triggers. These new routines can be used during partition creation, partition attach and detach, and foreign key creation. This reduces redundant code and simplifies the flow. In branches 14 and 13, we have a much simpler fix that consists on simply removing the constraint on detach. The reason is that those branches are missing commit f4566345cf40, which reworked the way this works in a way that we didn't consider back-patchable at the time. We opted to leave branch 12 alone, because it's different from branch 13 enough that the fix doesn't apply; and because it is going in EOL mode very soon, patching it now might be worse since there's no way to undo the damage if it goes wrong. Existing databases might need to be repaired. In the future we might want to rethink the catalog representation to avoid this problem, but for now the code seems to do what's required to make the constraints operate correctly.

2024-10-21Fix race condition in committing a serializable transactionHeikki Linnakangas
The finished transaction list can contain XIDs that are older than the serializable global xmin. It's a short-lived state; ClearOldPredicateLocks() removes any such transactions from the list, and it's called whenever the global xmin advances. But if another backend calls SummarizeOldestCommittedSxact() in that window, it will call SerialAdd() on an XID that's older than the global xmin, or if there are no more transactions running, when global xmin is invalid. That trips the assertion in SerialAdd(). Fixes bug #18658 reported by Andrew Bille. Thanks to Alexander Lakhin for analysis. Backpatch to all versions.

2024-10-17Fix extreme skew detection in Parallel Hash Join.Thomas Munro
After repartitioning the inner side of a hash join that would have exceeded the allowed size, we check if all the tuples from a parent partition moved to one child partition. That is evidence that it contains duplicate keys and later attempts to repartition will also fail, so we should give up trying to limit memory (for lack of a better fallback strategy). A thinko prevented the check from working correctly in partition 0 (the one that is partially loaded into memory already). After repartitioning, we should check for extreme skew if the *parent* partition's space_exhausted flag was set, not the child partition's. The consequence was repeated futile repartitioning until per-partition data exceeded various limits including "ERROR: invalid DSA memory alloc request size 1811939328", OS allocation failure, or temporary disk space errors. (We could also do something about some of those symptoms, but that's material for separate patches.) This problem only became likely when PostgreSQL 16 introduced support for Parallel Hash Right/Full Join, allowing NULL keys into the hash table. Repartitioning always leaves NULL in partition 0, no matter how many times you do it, because the hash value is all zero bits. That's unlikely for other hashed values, but they might still have caused wasted extra effort before giving up. Back-patch to all supported releases.

2024-10-16Further refine _SPI_execute_plan's rule for atomic execution.Tom Lane
Commit 2dc1deaea turns out to have been still a brick shy of a load, because CALL statements executing within a plpgsql exception block could still pass the wrong snapshot to stable functions within the CALL's argument list. That happened because standard_ProcessUtility forces isAtomicContext to true if IsTransactionBlock is true, which it always will be inside a subtransaction. Then ExecuteCallStmt would think it does not need to push a new snapshot --- but _SPI_execute_plan didn't do so either, since it thought it was in nonatomic mode. The best fix for this seems to be for _SPI_execute_plan to operate in atomic execution mode if IsSubTransaction() is true, even when the SPI context as a whole is non-atomic. This makes _SPI_execute_plan have the same rules about when non-atomic execution is allowed as _SPI_commit/_SPI_rollback have about when COMMIT/ROLLBACK are allowed, which seems appropriately symmetric. (If anyone ever tries to allow COMMIT/ROLLBACK inside a subtransaction, this would all need to be rethought ... but I'm unconvinced that such a thing could be logically consistent at all.) For further consistency, also check IsSubTransaction() in SPI_inside_nonatomic_context. That does not matter for its one present-day caller StartTransaction, which can't be reached inside a subtransaction. But if any other callers ever arise, they'd presumably want this definition.

2024-10-16Reduce memory block size for decoded tuple storage to 8kB.Masahiko Sawada
Commit a4ccc1cef introduced the Generation Context and modified the logical decoding process to use a Generation Context with a fixed block size of 8MB for storing tuple data decoded during logical decoding (i.e., rb->tup_context). Several reports have indicated that the logical decoding process can be terminated due to out-of-memory (OOM) situations caused by excessive memory usage in rb->tup_context. This issue can occur when decoding a workload involving several concurrent transactions, including a long-running transaction that modifies tuples. By design, the Generation Context does not free a memory block until all chunks within that block are released. Consequently, if tuples modified by the long-running transaction are stored across multiple memory blocks, these blocks remain allocated until the long-running transaction completes, leading to substantial memory fragmentation. The memory usage during logical decoding, tracked by rb->size, does not account for memory fragmentation, resulting in potentially much higher memory consumption than the value of the logical_decoding_work_mem parameter. Various improvement strategies were discussed in the relevant thread. This change reduces the block size of the Generation Context used in rb->tup_context from 8MB to 8kB. This modification significantly decreases the likelihood of substantial memory fragmentation occurring and is relatively straightforward to backport. Performance testing across multiple platforms has confirmed that this change will not introduce any performance degradation that would impact actual operation. Backport to all supported branches.

2024-10-12Correctly identify which EC members are computable at a plan node.Tom Lane
find_computable_ec_member() had the wrong mental model of what its primary caller prepare_sort_from_pathkeys() would do with the selected EquivalenceClass member expression. We will not compute the EC expression in a plan node atop the one returning the passed-in targetlist; rather, the EC expression will be computed as an additional column of that targetlist. So any Var or quasi-Var used in the given tlist is also available to the EC expression. In simple cases this makes no difference because the given tlist is just a list of Vars or quasi-Vars --- but if we are considering an appendrel member produced by flattening a UNION ALL, the tlist may contain expressions, resulting in failure to match and a "could not find pathkey item to sort" error. To fix, we can flatten both the tlist and the EC members with pull_var_clause(), and then just check for subset-ness, so that the code is actually shorter than before. While this bug is quite old, the present patch only works back to v13. We could possibly make it work in v12 by back-patching parts of 375398244. On the whole though I don't like the risk/reward ratio of that idea. v12's final release is next month, meaning there would be no chance to correct matters if the patch causes a regression. Since this failure has escaped notice for 14 years, it's likely nobody will hit it in the field with v12. Per bug #18652 from Alexander Lakhin.

2024-10-06Ignore not-yet-defined Portals in pg_cursors view.Tom Lane
pg_cursor() supposed that any Portal it finds in the hash table must have sourceText set up, but there's an edge case where that is not so. A newly-created Portal has sourceText = NULL, and that doesn't change until PortalDefineQuery is called. In SPI_cursor_open_internal, we perform GetCachedPlan between CreatePortal and PortalDefineQuery, and it's possible for user-defined code to execute during that planning and cause a fetch from the pg_cursors view, resulting in a null-pointer-dereference crash. (It looks like the same could happen in exec_bind_message, but I've not tried to provoke a failure there.) I considered trying to fix this by setting sourceText sooner, but there may be instances of this same calling pattern in extensions, and we couldn't be sure they'd get the memo promptly. It seems better to redefine pg_cursor as not showing Portals that have not yet had PortalDefineQuery called on them, which we can do by just skipping them if sourceText is still NULL.

2024-10-02Parse libpq's "keepalives" option more like other integer options.Tom Lane
Use pqParseIntParam (nee parse_int_param) instead of using strtol directly. This allows trailing whitespace, which the previous coding didn't, and makes the spelling of the error message consistent with other similar cases. This seems to be an oversight in commit e7a221797, which introduced parse_int_param. That fixed places that were using atoi(), but missed this place which was randomly using strtol() instead. Ordinarily I'd consider this minor cleanup not worth back-patching. However, it seems that ecpg assumes it can add trailing whitespace to URL parameters, so that use of the keepalives option fails in that context. Perhaps that's worth improving as a separate matter. In the meantime, back-patch this to all supported branches.

2024-10-01Fix race condition in COMMIT PREPARED causing orphaned 2PC filesMichael Paquier
COMMIT PREPARED removes on-disk 2PC files near its end, but the state checked if a file is on-disk or not gets read from shared memory while not holding the two-phase state lock. Because of that, there was a small window where a second backend doing a PREPARE TRANSACTION could reuse the GlobalTransaction put back into the 2PC free list by the COMMIT PREPARED, overwriting the "ondisk" flag read afterwards by the COMMIT PREPARED to decide if its on-disk two-phase state file should be removed, preventing the file deletion. This commit fixes this issue so as the "ondisk" flag in the GlobalTransaction is read while holding the two-phase state lock, not from shared memory after its entry has been added to the free list. Orphaned two-phase state files flushed to disk after a checkpoint are discarded at the beginning of recovery. However, a truncation of pg_xact/ would make the startup process issue a FATAL when it cannot read the SLRU page holding the state of the transaction whose 2PC file was orphaned, which is a necessary step to decide if the 2PC file should be removed or not. Removing manually the file would be necessary in this case. Issue introduced by effe7d9552dd, so backpatch all the way down. Mea culpa.

2024-09-30reindexdb: Skip reindexing temporary tables and indexes.Fujii Masao
Reindexing temp tables or indexes of other sessions is not allowed. However, reindexdb in parallel mode previously listed them as the objects to process, leading to failures. This commit ensures reindexdb in parallel mode skips temporary tables and indexes by adding a condition based on the relpersistence column in pg_class to the object listing queries, preventing these issues. Note that this commit does not affect reindexdb when temporary tables or indexes are explicitly specified using the -t or -j options; reindexdb in that case still does not skip them and can cause an error. Back-patch to v13 where parallel mode was introduced in reindexdb.

2024-09-27Fix incorrect memory access in VACUUM FULL with invalid toast indexesMichael Paquier
An invalid toast index is skipped in reindex_relation(). These would be remnants of a failed REINDEX CONCURRENTLY and they should never been rebuilt as there can only be one valid toast index at a time. REINDEX_REL_SUPPRESS_INDEX_USE, used by CLUSTER and VACUUM FULL, needs to maintain a list of the indexes being processed. The list of indexes is retrieved from the relation cache, and includes invalid indexes. The code has missed that invalid toast indexes are ignored in reindex_relation() as this leads to a hard failure in reindex_index(), and they were left in the reindex pending list, making the list inconsistent when rechecked. The incorrect memory access was happening when scanning pg_class for the refresh of pg_database.datfrozenxid, when doing a scan of pg_class. This issue exists since REINDEX CONCURRENTLY exists, where invalid toast indexes can exist, so backpatch all the way down.

2024-09-25vacuumdb: Skip temporary tables in query to build list of relationsMichael Paquier
Running vacuumdb with a non-superuser while another user has created a temporary table would lead to a mid-flight permission failure, interrupting the operation. vacuum_rel() skips temporary relations of other backends, and it makes no sense for vacuumdb to know about these relations, so let's switch it to ignore temporary relations entirely. Adding a qual in the query based on relpersistence simplifies the generation of its WHERE clause in vacuum_one_database(), per se the removal of "has_where".

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). In back branches, retain a deprecated heap_inplace_update(), for extensions. Reported by Smolkin Grigory.

2024-09-18Add missing query ID reporting in extended query protocolMichael Paquier
This commit adds query ID reports for two code paths when processing extended query protocol messages: - When receiving a bind message, setting it to the first Query retrieved from a cached cache. - When receiving an execute message, setting it to the first PlannedStmt stored in a portal. An advantage of this method is that this is able to cover all the types of portals handled in the extended query protocol, particularly these two when the report done in ExecutorStart() is not enough (neither is an addition in ExecutorRun(), actually, for the second point): - Multiple execute messages, with multiple ExecutorRun(). - Portal with execute/fetch messages, like a query with a RETURNING clause and a fetch size that stores the tuples in a first execute message going though ExecutorStart() and ExecuteRun(), followed by one or more execute messages doing only fetches from the tuplestore created in the first message. This corresponds to the case where execute_is_fetch is set, for example. Note that the query ID reporting done in ExecutorStart() is still necessary, as an EXECUTE requires it. Query ID reporting is optimistic and more calls to pgstat_report_query_id() don't matter as the first report takes priority except if the report is forced. The comment in ExecutorStart() is adjusted to reflect better the reality with the extended query protocol. The test added in pg_stat_statements is a courtesy of Robert Haas. This uses psql's \bind metacommand, hence this part is backpatched down to v16.

2024-09-15Replace usages of xmlXPathCompile() with xmlXPathCtxtCompile().Tom Lane
In existing releases of libxml2, xmlXPathCompile can be driven to stack overflow because it fails to protect itself against too-deeply-nested input. While there is an upstream fix as of yesterday, it will take years for that to propagate into all shipping versions. In the meantime, we can protect our own usages basically for free by calling xmlXPathCtxtCompile instead. (The actual bug is that libxml2 keeps its nesting counter in the xmlXPathContext, and its parsing code was willing to just skip counting nesting levels if it didn't have a context. So if we supply a context, all is well. It seems odd actually that it works at all to not supply a context, because this means that XPath parsing does not have access to XML namespace info. Apparently libxml2 never checks namespaces until runtime? Anyway, this seems like good future-proofing even if its only immediate effect is to dodge a bug.) Sadly, this hack only offers protection with libxml2 2.9.11 and newer. Before that there are multiple similar problems, so if you are processing untrusted XML it behooves you to get a newer version. But we have some pretty old libxml2 in the buildfarm, so it seems impractical to add a regression test to verify this fix. Per bug #18617 from Jingzhou Fu. Back-patch to all supported versions.

2024-09-11Remove incorrect Assert.Tom Lane
check_agglevels_and_constraints() asserted that if we find an aggregate function in an EXPR_KIND_FROM_SUBSELECT expression, the expression must be in a LATERAL subquery. Alexander Lakhin found a case where that's not so: because of the odd scoping rules for NEW/OLD within a rule, a reference to NEW/OLD could cause an aggregate to be considered top-level even though it's in an unmarked sub-select. The error message that would be thrown seems sufficiently on-point, so just remove the Assert. (Hence, this is not a bug for production builds.) This Assert was added by me in commit eaccfded9 (9.3 era). It looks like I put it in to cross-check that the new logic for detecting misplaced aggregates (using agglevelsup) caught the same cases that a previous check on p_lateral_active did. So there might have been some related misbehavior before eaccfded9 ... but that's very ancient history by now, so I didn't dig any deeper. Per bug #18608 from Alexander Lakhin.
