2015-10-22Add two missing cases to ATWrongRelkindError.Robert Haas
This way, we produce a better error message if someone tries to do something like ALTER INDEX .. ALTER COLUMN .. SET STORAGE. Amit Langote
2015-10-22shm_mq: Fix failure to notice a dead counterparty when nowait is used.Robert Haas
The shm_mq mechanism was intended to optionally notice when the process on the other end of the queue fails to attach to the queue. It does this by allowing the user to pass a BackgroundWorkerHandle; if the background worker in question is launched and dies without attaching to the queue, then we know it never will. This logic works OK in blocking mode, but when called with nowait = true we fail to notice that this has happened due to an asymmetry in the logic. Repair. Reported off-list by Rushabh Lathia. Patch by me.
2015-10-20Fix incorrect translation of minus-infinity datetimes for json/jsonb.Tom Lane
Commit bda76c1c8cfb1d11751ba6be88f0242850481733 caused both plus and minus infinity to be rendered as "infinity", which is not only wrong but inconsistent with the pre-9.4 behavior of to_json(). Fix that by duplicating the coding in date_out/timestamp_out/timestamptz_out more closely. Per bug #13687 from Stepan Perlov. Back-patch to 9.4, like the previous commit. In passing, also re-pgindent json.c, since it had gotten a bit messed up by recent patches (and I was already annoyed by indentation-related problems in back-patching this fix ...)

2015-10-20Put back ssl_renegotiation_limit parameter, but only allow 0.Robert Haas
Per a report from Shay Rojansky, Npgsql sends ssl_renegotiation_limit=0 in the startup packet because it does not support renegotiation; other clients which have not attempted to support renegotiation might well behave similarly. The recent removal of this parameter forces them to break compatibility with either current PostgreSQL versions, or previous ones. Per discussion, the best solution is to accept the parameter but only allow a value of 0. Shay Rojansky, edited a little by me.
2015-10-20Fix back-patch of commit 8e3b4d9d40244c037bbc6e182ea3fabb9347d482.Noah Misch
master emits an extra context message compared to 9.5 and earlier.
2015-10-20Eschew "RESET statement_timeout" in tests.Noah Misch
Instead, use transaction abort. Given an unlucky bout of latency, the timeout would cancel the RESET itself. Buildfarm members gharial, lapwing, mereswine, shearwater, and sungazer witness that. Back-patch to 9.1 (all supported versions). The query_canceled test still could timeout before entering its subtransaction; for whatever reason, that has yet to happen on the buildfarm.
2015-10-19Fix incorrect handling of lookahead constraints in pg_regprefix().Tom Lane
pg_regprefix was doing nothing with lookahead constraints, which would be fine if it were the right kind of nothing, but it isn't: we have to terminate our search for a fixed prefix, not just pretend the LACON arc isn't there. Otherwise, if the current state has both a LACON outarc and a single plain-color outarc, we'd falsely conclude that the color represents an addition to the fixed prefix, and generate an extracted index condition that restricts the indexscan too much. (See added regression test case.) Terminating the search is conservative: we could traverse the LACON arc (thus assuming that the constraint can be satisfied at runtime) and then examine the outarcs of the linked-to state. But that would be a lot more work than it seems worth, because writing a LACON followed by a single plain character is a pretty silly thing to do. This makes a difference only in rather contrived cases, but it's a bug, so back-patch to all supported branches.
2015-10-18Fix order of arguments in ecpg generated typedef command.Michael Meskes
2015-10-16Miscellaneous cleanup of regular-expression compiler.Tom Lane
Revert our previous addition of "all" flags to copyins() and copyouts(); they're no longer needed, and were never anything but an unsightly hack. Improve a couple of infelicities in the REG_DEBUG code for dumping the NFA data structure, including adding code to count the total number of states and arcs. Add a couple of missed error checks. Add some more documentation in the README file, and some regression tests illustrating cases that exceeded the state-count limit and/or took unreasonable amounts of time before this set of patches. Back-patch to all supported branches.
2015-10-16Improve memory-usage accounting in regular-expression compiler.Tom Lane
This code previously counted the number of NFA states it created, and complained if a limit was exceeded, so as to prevent bizarre regex patterns from consuming unreasonable time or memory. That's fine as far as it went, but the code paid no attention to how many arcs linked those states. Since regexes can be contrived that have O(N) states but will need O(N^2) arcs after fixempties() processing, it was still possible to blow out memory, and take a long time doing it too. To fix, modify the bookkeeping to count space used by both states and arcs. I did not bother with including the "color map" in the accounting; it can only grow to a few megabytes, which is not a lot in comparison to what we're allowing for states+arcs (about 150MB on 64-bit machines or half that on 32-bit machines). Looking at some of the larger real-world regexes captured in the Tcl regression test suite suggests that the most that is likely to be needed for regexes found in the wild is under 10MB, so I believe that the current limit has enough headroom to make it okay to keep it as a hard-wired limit. In connection with this, redefine REG_ETOOBIG as meaning "regular expression is too complex"; the previous wording of "nfa has too many states" was already somewhat inapropos because of the error code's use for stack depth overrun, and it was not very user-friendly either. Back-patch to all supported branches.
2015-10-16Improve performance of pullback/pushfwd in regular-expression compiler.Tom Lane
The previous coding would create a new intermediate state every time it wanted to interchange the ordering of two constraint arcs. Certain regex features such as \Y can generate large numbers of parallel constraint arcs, and if we needed to reorder the results of that, we created unreasonable numbers of intermediate states. To improve matters, keep a list of already-created intermediate states associated with the state currently being considered by the outer loop; we can re-use such states to place all the new arcs leading to the same destination or source. I also took the trouble to redefine push() and pull() to have a less risky API: they no longer delete any state or arc that the caller might possibly have a pointer to, except for the specifically-passed constraint arc. This reduces the risk of re-introducing the same type of error seen in the failed patch for CVE-2007-4772. Back-patch to all supported branches.
2015-10-16Improve performance of fixempties() pass in regular-expression compiler.Tom Lane
The previous coding took something like O(N^4) time to fully process a chain of N EMPTY arcs. We can't really do much better than O(N^2) because we have to insert about that many arcs, but we can do lots better than what's there now. The win comes partly from using mergeins() to amortize de-duplication of arcs across multiple source states, and partly from exploiting knowledge of the ordering of arcs for each state to avoid looking at arcs we don't need to consider during the scan. We do have to be a bit careful of the possible reordering of arcs introduced by the sort-merge coding of the previous commit, but that's not hard to deal with. Back-patch to all supported branches.
2015-10-16Fix O(N^2) performance problems in regular-expression compiler.Tom Lane
Change the singly-linked in-arc and out-arc lists to be doubly-linked, so that arc deletion is constant time rather than having worst-case time proportional to the number of other arcs on the connected states. Modify the bulk arc transfer operations copyins(), copyouts(), moveins(), moveouts() so that they use a sort-and-merge algorithm whenever there's more than a small number of arcs to be copied or moved. The previous method is O(N^2) in the number of arcs involved, because it performs duplicate checking independently for each copied arc. The new method may change the ordering of existing arcs for the destination state, but nothing really cares about that. Provide another bulk arc copying method mergeins(), which is unused as of this commit but is needed for the next one. It basically is like copyins(), but the source arcs might not all come from the same state. Replace the O(N^2) bubble-sort algorithm used in carcsort() with a qsort() call. These changes greatly improve the performance of regex compilation for large or complex regexes, at the cost of extra space for arc storage during compilation. The original tradeoff was probably fine when it was made, but now we care more about speed and less about memory consumption. Back-patch to all supported branches.
2015-10-16Fix regular-expression compiler to handle loops of constraint arcs.Tom Lane
It's possible to construct regular expressions that contain loops of constraint arcs (that is, ^ $ AHEAD BEHIND or LACON arcs). There's no use in fully traversing such a loop at execution, since you'd just end up in the same NFA state without having consumed any input. Worse, such a loop leads to infinite looping in the pullback/pushfwd stage of compilation, because we keep pushing or pulling the same constraints around the loop in a vain attempt to move them to the pre or post state. Such looping was previously recognized in CVE-2007-4772; but the fix only handled the case of trivial single-state loops (that is, a constraint arc leading back to its source state) ... and not only that, it was incorrect even for that case, because it broke the admittedly-not-very-clearly-stated API contract of the pull() and push() subroutines. The first two regression test cases added by this commit exhibit patterns that result in assertion failures because of that (though there seem to be no ill effects in non-assert builds). The other new test cases exhibit multi-state constraint loops; in an unpatched build they will run until the NFA state-count limit is exceeded. To fix, remove the code added for CVE-2007-4772, and instead create a general-purpose constraint-loop-breaking phase of regex compilation that executes before we do pullback/pushfwd. Since we never need to traverse a constraint loop fully, we can just break the loop at any chosen spot, if we add clone states that can replicate any sequence of arc transitions that would've traversed just part of the loop. Also add some commentary clarifying why we have to have all these machinations in the first place. This class of problems has been known for some time --- we had a report from Marc Mamin about two years ago, for example, and there are related complaints in the Tcl bug tracker. I had discussed a fix of this kind off-list with Henry Spencer, but didn't get around to doing something about it until the issue was rediscovered by Greg Stark recently. Back-patch to all supported branches.
2015-10-16Remove cautions about using volatile from spin.h.Robert Haas

2015-10-16Fix a problem with parallel workers being unable to restore role.Robert Haas
check_role() tries to verify that the user has permission to become the requested role, but this is inappropriate in a parallel worker, which needs to exactly recreate the master's authorization settings. So skip the check in that case. This fixes a bug in commit 924bcf4f16d54c55310b28f77686608684734f42.
2015-10-16Invalidate caches after cranking up a parallel worker transaction.Robert Haas
Starting a parallel worker transaction changes our notion of which XIDs are in-progress or committed, and our notion of the current command counter ID. Therefore, our view of these caches prior to starting this transaction may no longer valid. Defend against that by clearing them. This fixes a bug in commit 924bcf4f16d54c55310b28f77686608684734f42.
2015-10-16Tighten up application of parallel mode checks.Robert Haas
Commit 924bcf4f16d54c55310b28f77686608684734f42 failed to enforce parallel mode checks during the commit of a parallel worker, because we exited parallel mode prior to ending the transaction so that we could pop the active snapshot. Re-establish parallel mode during parallel worker commit. Without this, it's far too easy for unsafe actions during the pre-commit sequence to crash the server instead of hitting the error checks as intended. Just to be extra paranoid, adjust a couple of the sanity checks in xact.c to check not only IsInParallelMode() but also IsParallelWorker().
2015-10-16Transfer current command counter ID to parallel workers.Robert Haas
Commit 924bcf4f16d54c55310b28f77686608684734f42 correctly forbade parallel workers to modify the command counter while in parallel mode, but it inexplicably neglected to actually transfer the current command counter from leader to workers. This can result in the workers seeing a different set of tuples from the leader, which is bad. Repair.
2015-10-16Don't send protocol messages to a shm_mq that no longer exists.Robert Haas
Commit 2bd9e412f92bc6a68f3e8bcb18e04955cc35001d introduced a mechanism for relaying protocol messages from a background worker to another backend via a shm_mq. However, there was no provision for shutting down the communication channel. Therefore, a protocol message sent late in the shutdown sequence, such as a DEBUG message resulting from cranking up log_min_messages, could crash the server. To fix, install an on_dsm_detach callback that disables sending messages to the shm_mq when the associated DSM is detached.
2015-10-15Fix NULL handling in datum_to_jsonb().Tom Lane
The function failed to adhere to its specification that the "tcategory" argument should not be examined when the input value is NULL. This resulted in a crash in some cases. Per bug #13680 from Boyko Yordanov. In passing, re-pgindent some recent changes in jsonb.c, and fix a rather ungrammatical comment. Diagnosis and patch by Michael Paquier, cosmetic changes by me
2015-10-15Allow FDWs to push down quals without breaking EvalPlanQual rechecks.Robert Haas
This fixes a long-standing bug which was discovered while investigating the interaction between the new join pushdown code and the EvalPlanQual machinery: if a ForeignScan appears on the inner side of a paramaterized nestloop, an EPQ recheck would re-return the original tuple even if it no longer satisfied the pushed-down quals due to changed parameter values. This fix adds a new member to ForeignScan and ForeignScanState and a new argument to make_foreignscan, and requires changes to FDWs which push down quals to populate that new argument with a list of quals they have chosen to push down. Therefore, I'm only back-patching to 9.5, even though the bug is not new in 9.5. Etsuro Fujita, reviewed by me and by Kyotaro Horiguchi.

2015-10-13On Windows, ensure shared memory handle gets closed if not being used.Tom Lane
Postmaster child processes that aren't supposed to be attached to shared memory were not bothering to close the shared memory mapping handle they inherit from the postmaster process. That's mostly harmless, since the handle vanishes anyway when the child process exits -- but the syslogger process, if used, doesn't get killed and restarted during recovery from a backend crash. That meant that Windows doesn't see the shared memory mapping as becoming free, so it doesn't delete it and the postmaster is unable to create a new one, resulting in failure to recover from crashes whenever logging_collector is turned on. Per report from Dmitry Vasilyev. It's a bit astonishing that we'd not figured this out long ago, since it's been broken from the very beginnings of out native Windows support; probably some previously-unexplained trouble reports trace to this. A secondary problem is that on Cygwin (perhaps only in older versions?), exec() may not detach from the shared memory segment after all, in which case these child processes did remain attached to shared memory, posing the risk of an unexpected shared memory clobber if they went off the rails somehow. That may be a long-gone bug, but we can deal with it now if it's still live, by detaching within the infrastructure introduced here to deal with closing the handle. Back-patch to all supported branches. Tom Lane and Amit Kapila

2015-10-12Cause TestLib.pm to define $windows_os in all branches.Tom Lane
Back-port of a part of commit 690ed2b76ab91eb79ea04ee2bfbdc8a2693f2a37 that I'd depended on without realizing that it was only added recently. Since it seems entirely likely that other such tests will need to be back-patched in future, providing the flag seems like a better answer than just putting a test in-line. Per buildfarm.
2015-10-12Fix "pg_ctl start -w" to test child process status directly.Tom Lane
pg_ctl start with -w previously relied on a heuristic that the postmaster would surely always manage to create postmaster.pid within five seconds. Unfortunately, that fails much more often than we would like on some of the slower, more heavily loaded buildfarm members. We have known for quite some time that we could remove the need for that heuristic on Unix by using fork/exec instead of system() to launch the postmaster. This allows us to know the exact PID of the postmaster, which allows near-certain verification that the postmaster.pid file is the one we want and not a leftover, and it also lets us use waitpid() to detect reliably whether the child postmaster has exited or not. What was blocking this change was not wanting to rewrite the Windows version of start_postmaster() to avoid use of CMD.EXE. That's doable in theory but would require fooling about with stdout/stderr redirection, and getting the handling of quote-containing postmaster switches to stay the same might be rather ticklish. However, we realized that we don't have to do that to fix the problem, because we can test whether the shell process has exited as a proxy for whether the postmaster is still alive. That doesn't allow an exact check of the PID in postmaster.pid, but we're no worse off than before in that respect; and we do get to get rid of the heuristic about how long the postmaster might take to create postmaster.pid. On Unix, this change means that a second "pg_ctl start -w" immediately after another such command will now reliably fail, whereas previously it would succeed if done within two seconds of the earlier command. Since that's a saner behavior anyway, it's fine. On Windows, the case can still succeed within the same time window, since pg_ctl can't tell that the earlier postmaster's postmaster.pid isn't the pidfile it is looking for. To ensure stable test results on Windows, we can insert a short sleep into the test script for pg_ctl, ensuring that the existing pidfile looks stale. This hack can be removed if we ever do rewrite start_postmaster(), but that no longer seems like a high-priority thing to do. Back-patch to all supported versions, both because the current behavior is buggy and because we must do that if we want the buildfarm failures to go away. Tom Lane and Michael Paquier
2015-10-12Use JsonbIteratorToken consistently in automatic variable declarations.Noah Misch
Many functions stored JsonbIteratorToken values in variables of other integer types. Also, standardize order relative to other declarations. Expect compilers to generate the same code before and after this change.

prove_check already has been doing this. Back-patch to 9.4, like the commit that introduced this logging.
2015-10-09Handle append_rel_list in expand_security_qualStephen Frost
During expand_security_quals, we take the security barrier quals on an RTE and create a subquery which evaluates the quals. During this, we have to replace any variables in the outer query which refer to the original RTE with references to the columns from the subquery. We need to also perform that replacement for any Vars in the append_rel_list. Only backpatching to 9.5 as we only go through this process in 9.4 for auto-updatable security barrier views, which UNION ALL queries aren't. Discovered by Haribabu Kommi Patch by Dean Rasheed
2015-10-09Fix uninitialized-variable bug.Tom Lane
For some reason, neither of the compilers I usually use noticed the uninitialized-variable problem I introduced in commit 7e2a18a9161fee7e. That's hardly a good enough excuse though. Committing with brown paper bag on head. In addition to putting the operations in the right order, move the declaration of "now" inside the loop; there's no need for it to be outside, and that does wake up older gcc enough to notice any similar future problem. Back-patch to 9.4; earlier versions lack the time-to-SIGKILL stanza so there's no bug.
2015-10-07Factor out encoding specific tests for jsonAndrew Dunstan
This lets us remove the large alternative results files for the main json and jsonb tests, which makes modifying those tests simpler for committers and patch submitters. Backpatch to 9.4 for jsonb and 9.3 for json.

2015-10-06Perform an immediate shutdown if the postmaster.pid file is removed.Tom Lane
The postmaster now checks every minute or so (worst case, at most two minutes) that postmaster.pid is still there and still contains its own PID. If not, it performs an immediate shutdown, as though it had received SIGQUIT. The original goal behind this change was to ensure that failed buildfarm runs would get fully cleaned up, even if the test scripts had left a postmaster running, which is not an infrequent occurrence. When the buildfarm script removes a test postmaster's $PGDATA directory, its next check on postmaster.pid will fail and cause it to exit. Previously, manual intervention was often needed to get rid of such orphaned postmasters, since they'd block new test postmasters from obtaining the expected socket address. However, by checking postmaster.pid and not something else, we can provide additional robustness: manual removal of postmaster.pid is a frequent DBA mistake, and now we can at least limit the damage that will ensue if a new postmaster is started while the old one is still alive. Back-patch to all supported branches, since we won't get the desired improvement in buildfarm reliability otherwise.

2015-10-05Fix insufficiently-portable regression test case.Tom Lane

2015-10-05Add regression tests for INSERT/UPDATE+RETURNINGStephen Frost
This adds regressions tests which are specific to INSERT+RETURNING and UPDATE+RETURNING to ensure that the SELECT policies are added as WithCheckOptions (and should therefore throw an error when the policy is violated). Per suggestion from Andres. Back-patch to 9.5 as the prior commit was.
2015-10-05Prevent stack overflow in query-type functions.Noah Misch
The tsquery, ltxtquery and query_int data types have a common ancestor. Having acquired check_stack_depth() calls independently, each was missing at least one call. Back-patch to 9.0 (all supported versions).
2015-10-05Prevent stack overflow in container-type functions.Noah Misch
A range type can name another range type as its subtype, and a record type can bear a column of another record type. Consequently, functions like range_cmp() and record_recv() are recursive. Functions at risk include operator family members and referents of pg_type regproc columns. Treat as recursive any such function that looks up and calls the same-purpose function for a record column type or the range subtype. Back-patch to 9.0 (all supported versions). An array type's element type is never itself an array type, so array functions are unaffected. Recursion depth proportional to array dimensionality, found in array_dim_to_jsonb(), is fine thanks to MAXDIM.
2015-10-05Prevent stack overflow in json-related functions.Noah Misch
Sufficiently-deep recursion heretofore elicited a SIGSEGV. If an application constructs PostgreSQL json or jsonb values from arbitrary user input, application users could have exploited this to terminate all active database connections. That applies to 9.3, where the json parser adopted recursive descent, and later versions. Only row_to_json() and array_to_json() were at risk in 9.2, both in a non-security capacity. Back-patch to 9.2, where the json type was introduced. Oskari Saarenmaa, reviewed by Michael Paquier. Security: CVE-2015-5289
2015-10-05Apply SELECT policies in INSERT/UPDATE+RETURNINGStephen Frost
Similar to 7d8db3e, given that INSERT+RETURNING requires SELECT rights on the table, apply the SELECT policies as WCOs to the tuples being inserted. Apply the same logic to UPDATE+RETURNING. Back-patch to 9.5 where RLS was added.
2015-10-05Do not write out WCOs in QueryStephen Frost
The WithCheckOptions list in Query are only populated during rewrite and do not need to be written out or read in as part of a Query structure. Further, move WithCheckOptions to the bottom and add comments to clarify that it is only populated during rewrite. Back-patch to 9.5 with a catversion bump, as we are still in alpha.
2015-10-05Re-Align *_freeze_max_age reloption limits with corresponding GUC limits.Andres Freund
In 020235a5754 I lowered the autovacuum_*freeze_max_age minimums to allow for easier testing of wraparounds. I did not touch the corresponding per-table limits. While those don't matter for the purpose of wraparound, it seems more consistent to lower them as well. It's noteworthy that the previous reloption lower limit for autovacuum_multixact_freeze_max_age was too high by one magnitude, even before 020235a5754. Discussion: 26377.1443105453@sss.pgh.pa.us Backpatch: back to 9.0 (in parts), like the prior patch
2015-10-04ALTER TABLE .. FORCE ROW LEVEL SECURITYStephen Frost
To allow users to force RLS to always be applied, even for table owners, add ALTER TABLE .. FORCE ROW LEVEL SECURITY. row_security=off overrides FORCE ROW LEVEL SECURITY, to ensure pg_dump output is complete (by default). Also add SECURITY_NOFORCE_RLS context to avoid data corruption when ALTER TABLE .. FORCE ROW SECURITY is being used. The SECURITY_NOFORCE_RLS security context is used only during referential integrity checks and is only considered in check_enable_rls() after we have already checked that the current user is the owner of the relation (which should always be the case during referential integrity checks). Back-patch to 9.5 where RLS was added.
2015-10-04Further twiddling of nodeHash.c hashtable sizing calculation.Tom Lane
On reflection, the submitted patch didn't really work to prevent the request size from exceeding MaxAllocSize, because of the fact that we'd happily round nbuckets up to the next power of 2 after we'd limited it to max_pointers. The simplest way to enforce the limit correctly is to round max_pointers down to a power of 2 when it isn't one already. (Note that the constraint to INT_MAX / 2, if it were doing anything useful at all, is properly applied after that.)
