2014-12-22Move rbtree.c from src/backend/utils/misc to src/backend/lib.Heikki Linnakangas
We have other general-purpose data structures in src/backend/lib, so it seems like a better home for the red-black tree as well.
2014-12-22Use a pairing heap for the priority queue in kNN-GiST searches.Heikki Linnakangas
This performs slightly better, uses less memory, and needs slightly less code in GiST, than the Red-Black tree previously used. Reviewed by Peter Geoghegan
2014-12-21Fix file descriptor leak at end of recovery.Heikki Linnakangas
XLogFileInit() returns a file descriptor, which needs to be closed. The leak was short-lived, since the startup process exits shortly afterwards, but it was clearly a bug, nevertheless. Per Coverity report.
2014-12-19pg_event_trigger_dropped_objects: add behavior flagsAlvaro Herrera
Add "normal" and "original" flags as output columns to the pg_event_trigger_dropped_objects() function. With this it's possible to distinguish which objects, among those listed, need to be explicitely referenced when trying to replicate a deletion. This is necessary so that the list of objects can be pruned to the minimum necessary to replicate the DROP command in a remote server that might have slightly different schema (for instance, TOAST tables and constraints with different names and such.) Catalog version bumped due to change of function definition. Reviewed by: Abhijit Menon-Sen, Stephen Frost, Heikki Linnakangas, Robert Haas.
2014-12-19Fix timestamp in end-of-recovery WAL records.Heikki Linnakangas
We used time(null) to set a TimestampTz field, which gave bogus results. Noticed while looking at pg_xlogdump output. Backpatch to 9.3 and above, where the fast promotion was introduced.
2014-12-19Prevent potentially hazardous compiler/cpu reordering during lwlock release.Andres Freund
In LWLockRelease() (and in 9.4+ LWLockUpdateVar()) we release enqueued waiters using PGSemaphoreUnlock(). As there are other sources of such unlocks backends only wake up if MyProc->lwWaiting is set to false; which is only done in the aforementioned functions. Before this commit there were dangers because the store to lwWaitLink could become visible before the store to lwWaitLink. This could both happen due to compiler reordering (on most compilers) and on some platforms due to the CPU reordering stores. The possible consequence of this is that a backend stops waiting before lwWaitLink is set to NULL. If that backend then tries to acquire another lock and has to wait there the list could become corrupted once the lwWaitLink store is finally performed. Add a write memory barrier to prevent that issue. Unfortunately the barrier support has been only added in 9.2. Given that the issue has not knowingly been observed in praxis it seems sufficient to prohibit compiler reordering using volatile for 9.0 and 9.1. Actual problems due to compiler reordering are more likely anyway. Discussion: 20140210134625.GA15246@awork2.anarazel.de

2014-12-18Improve hash_create's API for selecting simple-binary-key hash functions.Tom Lane
Previously, if you wanted anything besides C-string hash keys, you had to specify a custom hashing function to hash_create(). Nearly all such callers were specifying tag_hash or oid_hash; which is tedious, and rather error-prone, since a caller could easily miss the opportunity to optimize by using hash_uint32 when appropriate. Replace this with a design whereby callers using simple binary-data keys just specify HASH_BLOBS and don't need to mess with specific support functions. hash_create() itself will take care of optimizing when the key size is four bytes. This nets out saving a few hundred bytes of code space, and offers a measurable performance improvement in tidbitmap.c (which was not exploiting the opportunity to use hash_uint32 for its 4-byte keys). There might be some wins elsewhere too, I didn't analyze closely. In future we could look into offering a similar optimized hashing function for 8-byte keys. Under this design that could be done in a centralized and machine-independent fashion, whereas getting it right for keys of platform-dependent sizes would've been notationally painful before. For the moment, the old way still works fine, so as not to break source code compatibility for loadable modules. Eventually we might want to remove tag_hash and friends from the exported API altogether, since there's no real need for them to be explicitly referenced from outside dynahash.c.

2014-12-18Change how first WAL segment on new timeline after promotion is created.Heikki Linnakangas
Two changes: 1. When copying a WAL segment from old timeline to create the first segment on the new timeline, only copy up to the point where the timeline switch happens, and zero-fill the rest. This avoids corner cases where we might think that the copied WAL from the previous timeline belong to the new timeline. 2. If the timeline switch happens at a segment boundary, don't copy the whole old segment to the new timeline. It's pointless, because it's 100% identical to the old segment.
2014-12-18Add memory barriers for PgBackendStatus.st_changecount protocol.Fujii Masao
st_changecount protocol needs the memory barriers to ensure that the apparent order of execution is as it desires. Otherwise, for example, the CPU might rearrange the code so that st_changecount is incremented twice before the modification on a machine with weak memory ordering. This surprising result can lead to bugs. This commit introduces the macros to load and store st_changecount with the memory barriers. These are called before and after PgBackendStatus entries are modified or copied into private memory, in order to prevent CPU from reordering PgBackendStatus access. Per discussion on pgsql-hackers, we decided not to back-patch this to 9.4 or before until we get an actual bug report about this. Patch by me. Review by Robert Haas.
2014-12-18Ensure variables live across calls in generate_series(numeric, numeric).Fujii Masao
In generate_series_step_numeric(), the variables "start_num" and "stop_num" may be potentially freed until the next call. So they should be put in the location which can survive across calls. But previously they were not, and which could cause incorrect behavior of generate_series(numeric, numeric). This commit fixes this problem by copying them on multi_call_memory_ctx. Andrew Gierth

2014-12-18Fix (re-)starting from a basebackup taken off a standby after a failure.Andres Freund
When starting up from a basebackup taken off a standby extra logic has to be applied to compute the point where the data directory is consistent. Normal base backups use a WAL record for that purpose, but that isn't possible on a standby. That logic had a error check ensuring that the cluster's control file indicates being in recovery. Unfortunately that check was too strict, disregarding the fact that the control file could also indicate that the cluster was shut down while in recovery. That's possible when the a cluster starting from a basebackup is shut down before the backup label has been removed. When everything goes well that's a short window, but when either restore_command or primary_conninfo isn't configured correctly the window can get much wider. That's because inbetween reading and unlinking the label we restore the last checkpoint from WAL which can need additional WAL. To fix simply also allow starting when the control file indicates "shutdown in recovery". There's nicer fixes imaginable, but they'd be more invasive. Backpatch to 9.2 where support for taking basebackups from standbys was added.

2014-12-17Lock down regression testing temporary clusters on Windows.Noah Misch
Use SSPI authentication to allow connections exclusively from the OS user that launched the test suite. This closes on Windows the vulnerability that commit be76a6d39e2832d4b88c0e1cc381aa44a7f86881 closed on other platforms. Users of "make installcheck" or custom test harnesses can run "pg_regress --config-auth=DATADIR" to activate the same authentication configuration that "make check" would use. Back-patch to 9.0 (all supported versions). Security: CVE-2014-0067
2014-12-17Allow CHECK constraints to be placed on foreign tables.Tom Lane
As with NOT NULL constraints, we consider that such constraints are merely reports of constraints that are being enforced by the remote server (or other underlying storage mechanism). Their only real use is to allow planner optimizations, for example in constraint-exclusion checks. Thus, the code changes here amount to little more than removal of the error that was formerly thrown for applying CHECK to a foreign table. (In passing, do a bit of cleanup of the ALTER FOREIGN TABLE reference page, which had accumulated some weird decisions about ordering etc.) Shigeru Hanada and Etsuro Fujita, reviewed by Kyotaro Horiguchi and Ashutosh Bapat.

2014-12-16Fix off-by-one loop count in MapArrayTypeName, and get rid of static array.Tom Lane
MapArrayTypeName would copy up to NAMEDATALEN-1 bytes of the base type name, which of course is wrong: after prepending '_' there is only room for NAMEDATALEN-2 bytes. Aside from being the wrong result, this case would lead to overrunning the statically allocated work buffer. This would be a security bug if the function were ever used outside bootstrap mode, but it isn't, at least not in any currently supported branches. Aside from fixing the off-by-one loop logic, this patch gets rid of the static work buffer by having MapArrayTypeName pstrdup its result; the sole caller was already doing that, so this just requires moving the pstrdup call. This saves a few bytes but mainly it makes the API a lot cleaner. Back-patch on the off chance that there is some third-party code using MapArrayTypeName with less-secure input. Pushing pstrdup into the function should not cause any serious problems for such hypothetical code; at worst there might be a short term memory leak. Per Coverity scanning.
2014-12-16Fix some jsonb issues found by Coverity in recent commits.Andrew Dunstan
Mostly these issues concern the non-use of function results. These have been changed to use (void) pushJsonbValue(...) instead of assigning the result to a variable that gets overwritten before it is used. There is a larger issue that we should possibly examine the API for pushJsonbValue(), so that instead of returning a value it modifies a state argument. The current idiom is rather clumsy. However, changing that requires quite a bit more work, so this change should do for the moment.

2014-12-12Avoid instability in output of new REINDEX SCHEMA test.Tom Lane
The planner seems to like to do this join query as a hash join, making the output ordering machine-dependent; worse, it's a hash on OIDs, so that it's a bit astonishing that the result doesn't change from run to run even on one machine. Add an ORDER BY to get consistent results. Per buildfarm. I also suppressed output from the final DROP SCHEMA CASCADE, to avoid occasional failures similar to those fixed in commit 81d815dc3ed74a7d. That hasn't been observed in the buildfarm yet, but it seems likely to happen in future if we leave it as-is.

2014-12-11Fix planning of SELECT FOR UPDATE on child table with partial index.Tom Lane
Ordinarily we can omit checking of a WHERE condition that matches a partial index's condition, when we are using an indexscan on that partial index. However, in SELECT FOR UPDATE we must include the "redundant" filter condition in the plan so that it gets checked properly in an EvalPlanQual recheck. The planner got this mostly right, but improperly omitted the filter condition if the index in question was on an inheritance child table. In READ COMMITTED mode, this could result in incorrectly returning just-updated rows that no longer satisfy the filter condition. The cause of the error is using get_parse_rowmark() when get_plan_rowmark() is what should be used during planning. In 9.3 and up, also fix the same mistake in contrib/postgres_fdw. It's currently harmless there (for lack of inheritance support) but wrong is wrong, and the incorrect code might get copied to someplace where it's more significant. Report and fix by Kyotaro Horiguchi. Back-patch to all supported branches.
2014-12-11Fix corner case where SELECT FOR UPDATE could return a row twice.Tom Lane
In READ COMMITTED mode, if a SELECT FOR UPDATE discovers it has to redo WHERE-clause checking on rows that have been updated since the SELECT's snapshot, it invokes EvalPlanQual processing to do that. If this first occurs within a non-first child table of an inheritance tree, the previous coding could accidentally re-return a matching row from an earlier, already-scanned child table. (And, to add insult to injury, I think this could make it miss returning a row that should have been returned, if the updated row that this happens on should still have passed the WHERE qual.) Per report from Kyotaro Horiguchi; the added isolation test is based on his test case. This has been broken for quite awhile, so back-patch to all supported branches.
