2024-03-11Fix incorrect accessing of pfree'd memory in MemoizeDavid Rowley
For pass-by-reference types, the code added in 0b053e78b, which aimed to resolve a memory leak, was overly aggressive in resetting the per-tuple memory context which could result in pfree'd memory being accessed resulting in failing to find previously cached results in the hash table. What was happening was prepare_probe_slot() was switching to the per-tuple memory context and calling ExecEvalExpr(). ExecEvalExpr() may have required a memory allocation. Both MemoizeHash_hash() and MemoizeHash_equal() were aggressively resetting the per-tuple context and after determining the hash value, the context would have gotten reset before MemoizeHash_equal() was called. This could have resulted in MemoizeHash_equal() looking at pfree'd memory. This is less likely to have caused issues on a production build as some other allocation would have had to have reused the pfree'd memory to overwrite it. Otherwise, the original contents would have been intact. However, this clearly caused issues on MEMORY_CONTEXT_CHECKING builds.

2024-03-07Cope with a deficiency in OpenSSL 3.x's error reporting.Tom Lane
In OpenSSL 3.0.0 and later, ERR_reason_error_string randomly refuses to provide a string for error codes representing system errno values (e.g., "No such file or directory"). There is a poorly-documented way to extract the errno from the SSL error code in this case, so do that and apply strerror, rather than falling back to reporting the error code's numeric value as we were previously doing. Problem reported by David Zhang, although this is not his proposed patch; it's instead based on a suggestion from Heikki Linnakangas. Back-patch to all supported branches, since any of them are likely to be used with recent OpenSSL. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/b6fb018b-f05c-4afd-abd3-318c649faf18@highgo.ca

2024-03-06Fix type-checking of RECORD-returning functions in FROM.Tom Lane
In the corner case where a function returning RECORD has been simplified to a RECORD constant or an inlined ROW() expression, ExecInitFunctionScan failed to cross-check the function's result rowtype against the coldeflist provided by the calling query. That happened because get_expr_result_type is able to extract a tupdesc from such expressions, which led ExecInitFunctionScan to ignore the coldeflist. (Instead, it used the extracted tupdesc to check the function's output, which of course always succeeds.) I have not been able to demonstrate any really serious consequences from this, because if some column of the result is of the wrong type and is directly referenced by a Var of the calling query, CheckVarSlotCompatibility will catch it. However, we definitely do fail to report the case where the function returns more columns than the coldeflist expects, and in the converse case where it returns fewer columns, we get an assert failure (but, seemingly, no worse results in non-assert builds). To fix, always build the expected tupdesc from the coldeflist if there is one, and consult get_expr_result_type only when there isn't one. Also remove the failing Assert, even though it is no longer reached after this fix. It doesn't seem to be adding anything useful, since later checking will deal with cases with the wrong number of columns. The only other place I could find that is doing something similar is inline_set_returning_function. There's no live bug there because we cannot be looking at a Const or RowExpr, but for consistency change that code to agree with ExecInitFunctionScan. Per report from PetSerAl. After some debate I've concluded that this should be back-patched. There is a small risk that somebody has been relying on such a case not throwing an error, but I judge this outweighed by the risk that I've missed some way in which the failure to cross-check has worse consequences than sketched above.

2024-03-06Fix parallel-safety check of expressions and predicate for index buildsMichael Paquier
As coded, the planner logic that calculates the number of parallel workers to use for a parallel index build uses expressions and predicates from the relcache, which are flattened for the planner by eval_const_expressions(). As reported in the bug, an immutable parallel-unsafe function flattened in the relcache would become a Const, which would be considered as parallel-safe, even if the predicate or the expressions including the function are not safe in parallel workers. Depending on the expressions or predicate used, this could cause the parallel build to fail. Tests are included that check parallel index builds with parallel-unsafe predicate and expressions. Two routines are added to lsyscache.h to be able to retrieve expressions and predicate of an index from its pg_index data.

2024-02-25Promote assertion about !ReindexIsProcessingIndex to runtime error.Tom Lane
When this assertion was installed (in commit d2f60a3ab), I thought it was only for catching server logic errors that caused accesses to catalogs that were undergoing index rebuilds. However, it will also fire in case of a user-defined index expression that attempts to access its own table. We occasionally see reports of people trying to do that, and typically getting unintelligible low-level errors as a result. We can provide a more on-point message by making this a regular runtime check. While at it, adjust the similar error check in systable_beginscan_ordered to use the same message text. That one is (probably) not reachable without a coding bug, but we might as well use a translatable message if we have one. Per bug #18363 from Alexander Lakhin. Back-patch to all supported branches.

2024-02-23Avoid dangling-pointer problem with partitionwise joins under GEQO.Tom Lane
build_child_join_sjinfo creates a derived SpecialJoinInfo in the short-lived GEQO context, but afterwards the semi_rhs_exprs from that may be used in a UniquePath for a child base relation. This breaks the expectation that all base-relation-level structures are in the planning-lifespan context, leading to use of a dangling pointer with probable ensuing crash later on in create_unique_plan. To fix, copy the expression trees when making a UniquePath. Per bug #18360 from Alexander Lakhin. This has been broken since partitionwise joins were added, so back-patch to all supported branches.

2024-02-20Fix incorrect pruning of NULL partition for boolean IS NOT clausesDavid Rowley
Partition pruning wrongly assumed that, for a table partitioned on a boolean column, a clause in the form "boolcol IS NOT false" and "boolcol IS NOT true" could be inverted to correspondingly become "boolcol IS true" and "boolcol IS false". These are not equivalent as the NOT version matches the opposite boolean value *and* NULLs. This incorrect assumption meant that partition pruning pruned away partitions that could contain NULL values. Here we fix this by correctly not pruning partitions which could store NULLs. To be affected by this, the table must be partitioned by a NULLable boolean column and queries would have to contain "boolcol IS NOT false" or "boolcol IS NOT true". This could result in queries filtering out NULL values with a LIST partitioned table and "ERROR: invalid strategy number 0" for RANGE and HASH partitioned tables.

This could miss a zero-termination in the result string, leading to an incorrect result.

2024-02-09Remove race condition in pg_get_expr().Tom Lane
Since its introduction, pg_get_expr() has intended to silently return NULL if called with an invalid relation OID, as can happen when scanning the catalogs concurrently with relation drops. However, there is a race condition: we check validity of the OID at the start, but it could get dropped just afterward, leading to failures. This is the cause of some intermittent instability we're seeing in a proposed new test case, and presumably it's a hazard in the field as well. We can fix this by AccessShareLock-ing the target relation for the duration of pg_get_expr(). Since we don't require any permissions on the target relation, this is semantically a bit undesirable. But it turns out that the set_relation_column_names() subroutine already takes a transient AccessShareLock on that relation, and has done since commit 2ffa740be in 2012. Given the lack of complaints about that, it seems like there should be no harm in holding the lock a bit longer. Back-patch to all supported branches.

2024-02-09Avoid concurrent calls to bindtextdomain().Tom Lane
We previously supposed that it was okay for different threads to call bindtextdomain() concurrently (cf. commit 1f655fdc3). It now emerges that there's at least one gettext implementation in which that triggers an abort() crash, so let's stop doing that. Add mutexes guarding libpq's and ecpglib's calls, which are the only ones that need worry about multithreaded callers. Note: in libpq, we could perhaps have piggybacked on default_threadlock() to avoid defining a new mutex variable. I judge that not terribly safe though, since libpq_gettext could be called from code that is holding the default mutex. If that were the first such call in the process, it'd fail. An extra mutex is cheap insurance against unforeseen interactions. Per bug #18312 from Christian Maurer. Back-patch to all supported versions.

2024-02-09Clean up Windows-specific mutex code in libpq and ecpglib.Tom Lane
Fix pthread-win32.h and pthread-win32.c to provide a more complete emulation of POSIX pthread mutexes: define PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER and make sure that pthread_mutex_lock() can operate on a mutex object that's been initialized that way. Then we don't need the duplicative platform-specific logic in default_threadlock() and pgtls_init(), which we'd otherwise need yet a third copy of for an upcoming bug fix. Also, since default_threadlock() supposes that pthread_mutex_lock() cannot fail, try to ensure that that's actually true, by getting rid of the malloc call that was formerly involved in initializing an emulated mutex. We can define an extra state for the spinlock field instead. Also, replace the similar code in ecpglib/misc.c with this version. While ecpglib's version at least had a POSIX-compliant API, it also had the potential of failing during mutex init (but here, because of CreateMutex failure rather than malloc failure). Since all of misc.c's callers ignore failures, it seems like a wise idea to avoid failures here too. A further improvement in this area could be to unify libpq's and ecpglib's implementations into a src/port/pthread-win32.c file. But that doesn't seem like a bug fix, so I'll desist for now. In preparation for the aforementioned bug fix, back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/264860.1707163416@sss.pgh.pa.us

The internal commands in REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW CONCURRENTLY are correctly executed in SECURITY_RESTRICTED_OPERATION mode, except for creating the temporary "diff" table, because you cannot create temporary tables in SRO mode. But creating the temporary "diff" table is a pretty complex CTAS command that selects from another temporary table created earlier in the command. If you can cajole that CTAS command to execute code defined by the table owner, the table owner can run code with the privileges of the user running the REFRESH command. The proof-of-concept reported to the security team relied on CREATE RULE to convert the internally-built temp table to a view. That's not possible since commit b23cd185fd, and I was not able to find a different way to turn the SELECT on the temp table into code execution, so as far as I know this is only exploitable in v15 and below.

2024-02-01Apply band-aid fix for an oversight in reparameterize_path_by_child.Tom Lane
The path we wish to reparameterize is not a standalone object: in particular, it implicitly references baserestrictinfo clauses in the associated RelOptInfo, and if it's a SampleScan path then there is also the TableSampleClause in the RTE to worry about. Both of those could contain lateral references to the join partner relation, which would need to be modified to refer to its child. Since we aren't doing that, affected queries can give wrong answers, or odd failures such as "variable not found in subplan target list", or executor crashes. But we can't just summarily modify those expressions, because they are shared with other paths for the rel. We'd break things if we modify them and then end up using some non-partitioned-join path. In HEAD, we plan to fix this by postponing reparameterization until create_plan(), when we know that those other paths are no longer of interest, and then adjusting those expressions along with the ones in the path itself. That seems like too big a change for stable branches however. In the back branches, let's just detect whether any troublesome lateral references actually exist in those expressions, and fail reparameterization if so. This will result in not performing a partitioned join in such cases. Given the lack of field complaints, nobody's likely to miss the optimization. Report and patch by Richard Guo. Apply to 12-16 only, since the intended fix for HEAD looks quite different. We're not quite ready to push the HEAD fix, but with back-branch releases coming up soon, it seems wise to get this stopgap fix in place there.

2024-01-31Fix various issues with ALTER TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATIONMichael Paquier
This commit addresses a set of issues when changing token type mappings in a text search configuration when using duplicated token names: - ADD MAPPING would fail on insertion because of a constraint failure after inserting the same mapping. - ALTER MAPPING with an "overridden" configuration failed with "tuple already updated by self" when the token mappings are removed. - DROP MAPPING failed with "tuple already updated by self", like previously, but in a different code path. The code is refactored so the token names (with their numbers) are handled as a List with unique members rather than an array with numbers, ensuring that no duplicates mess up with the catalog inserts, updates and deletes. The list is generated by getTokenTypes(), with the same error handling as previously while duplicated tokens are discarded from the list used to work on the catalogs. Regression tests are expanded to cover much more ground for the cases fixed by this commit, as there was no coverage for the code touched in this commit. A bit more is done regarding the fact that a token name not supported by a configuration's parser should result in an error even if IF EXISTS is used in a DROP MAPPING clause. This is implied in the code but there was no coverage for that, and it was very easy to miss. These issues exist since at least their introduction in core with 140d4ebcb46e, so backpatch all the way down.

2024-01-29Fix catalog lookup due to wrong snapshot for subtransactions during decoding.Amit Kapila
In commit 272248a0c, we fixed the catalog lookup due to the wrong snapshot for transactions and subtransactions during decoding. We failed to consider the case where top-level xact is already marked as containing catalog change but its subtransaction is not yet marked as containing catalog change even though it contained such a change. This can happen when during decoding, none of the WAL records from the subtransaction was decoded and top-level xact contains a DDL. We fix it by marking the transaction and all its subtransactions as containing catalog changes if the top-level xact contains any catalog change and it is present in the initial running xacts array. This fix is required only for 14 and 15 because in prior branches we already always mark the transaction and all its subtransactions as containing catalog changes in the same case. In 16 and above, we preserve the list of transaction IDs and sub-transaction IDs, that have modified catalogs and are running during snapshot serialization, to the serialized snapshot (see commit 7f13ac8123).

We perform addition of the days field of an interval via arithmetic on the Julian-date representation of the timestamp's date. This step is subject to int32 overflow, and we also should not let the Julian date become very negative, for fear of weird results from j2date. (In the timestamptz case, allow a Julian date of -1 to pass, since it might convert back to zero after timezone rotation.) The additions of the months and microseconds fields could also overflow, of course. However, I believe we need no additional checks there; the existing range checks should catch such cases.

2024-01-22Abort pgbench if script end is reached with an open pipelineAlvaro Herrera
When a pipeline is opened with \startpipeline and not closed, pgbench will either error on the next transaction with a "already in pipeline mode" error or successfully end if this was the last transaction -- despite not sending anything that was piped in the pipeline. Make it an error to reach end of script is reached while there's an open pipeline. Backpatch to 14, where pgbench got support for pipelines.

2024-01-18Fix plpgsql to allow new-style SQL CREATE FUNCTION as a SQL command.Tom Lane
plpgsql fails on new-style CREATE FUNCTION/PROCEDURE commands within a routine or DO block, because make_execsql_stmt believes that a semicolon token always terminates a SQL command. Now, that's actually been wrong since the day it was written, because CREATE RULE has long allowed multiple rule actions separated by semicolons. But there are few enough people using multi-action rules that there was never an attempt to fix it. New-style SQL functions, though, are popular. psql has this same problem of "does this semicolon really terminate the command?". It deals with CREATE RULE by counting parenthesis nesting depth: a semicolon within parens doesn't end a command. Commits e717a9a18 and 029c5ac03 created a similar heuristic to count matching BEGIN/END pairs (but only within CREATEs, so as not to be fooled by plain BEGIN). That's survived several releases now without trouble reports, so let's just absorb those heuristics into plpgsql. Per report from Samuel Dussault. Back-patch to v14 where new-style SQL function syntax came in. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/YT2PR01MB88552C3E9AD40A6C038774A781722@YT2PR01MB8855.CANPRD01.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM
2024-01-18Improve handling of dropped partitioned indexes for REINDEX INDEXMichael Paquier
A REINDEX INDEX done on a partitioned index builds a list of the indexes to work on before processing its partitions in individual transactions. When combined with a DROP of the partitioned index, there was a window where it was possible to see some unexpected "could not open relation with OID", synonym of relation lookup error. The code was robust enough to handle the case where the parent relation is missing, but not the case where an index would be gone missing. This is similar to 1d65416661bb. Support for REINDEX on partitioned relations has been introduced in a6642b3ae060, so backpatch down to 14.

2024-01-18Add try_index_open(), conditional variant of index_open()Michael Paquier
try_index_open() is able to open an index if its relkind fits, except that it would return NULL instead of generated an error if the relation does not exist. This new routine will be used by an upcoming patch to make REINDEX on partitioned relations more robust when an index in a partition tree is dropped. Extracted from a larger patch by the same author.

2024-01-18lwlock: Fix quadratic behavior with very long wait listsAndres Freund
Until now LWLockDequeueSelf() sequentially searched the list of waiters to see if the current proc is still is on the list of waiters, or has already been removed. In extreme workloads, where the wait lists are very long, this leads to a quadratic behavior. #backends iterating over a list #backends long. Additionally, the likelihood of needing to call LWLockDequeueSelf() in the first place also increases with the increased length of the wait queue, as it becomes more likely that a lock is released while waiting for the wait list lock, which is held for longer during lock release. Due to the exponential back-off in perform_spin_delay() this is surprisingly hard to detect. We should make that easier, e.g. by adding a wait event around the pg_usleep() - but that's a separate patch. The fix is simple - track whether a proc is currently waiting in the wait list or already removed but waiting to be woken up in PGPROC->lwWaiting. In some workloads with a lot of clients contending for a small number of lwlocks (e.g. WALWriteLock), the fix can substantially increase throughput. This has been originally fixed for 16~ with a4adc31f6902 without a backpatch, and we have heard complaints from users impacted by this quadratic behavior in older versions as well.

2024-01-16Don't test already-referenced pointer for nullnessAlvaro Herrera
Commit b8ba7344e9eb added in PQgetResult a derefence to a pointer returned by pqPrepareAsyncResult(), before some other code that was already testing that pointer for nullness. But since commit 618c16707a6d (in Postgres 15), pqPrepareAsyncResult() doesn't ever return NULL (a statically-allocated result is returned if OOM). So in branches 15 and up, we can remove the redundant pointer check with no harm done. However, in branch 14, pqPrepareAsyncResult() can indeed return NULL if it runs out of memory. Fix things there by adding a null pointer check before dereferencing the pointer. This should hint Coverity that the preexisting check is not redundant but necessary. Backpatch to 14, like b8ba7344e9eb. Per Coverity.
2024-01-14Prevent access to an unpinned buffer in BEFORE ROW UPDATE triggers.Tom Lane
When ExecBRUpdateTriggers switches to a new target tuple as a result of the EvalPlanQual logic, it must form a new proposed update tuple. Since commit 86dc90056, that tuple (the result of ExecGetUpdateNewTuple) has been a virtual tuple that might contain pointers to by-ref fields of the new target tuple (in "oldslot"). However, immediately after that we materialize oldslot, causing it to drop its buffer pin, whereupon the by-ref pointers are unsafe to use. This is a live bug only when the new target tuple is in a different page than the original target tuple, since we do still hold a pin on the original one. (Before 86dc90056, there was no bug because the EPQ plantree would hold a pin on the new target tuple; but now that's not assured.) To fix, forcibly materialize the new tuple before we materialize oldslot. This costs nothing since we would have done that shortly anyway. The real-world impact of this is probably minimal. A visible failure could occur if the new target tuple's buffer were recycled for some other page in the short interval before we materialize newslot within the trigger-calling loop; but that's quite unlikely given that we'd just touched that page. There's a larger hazard that some other process could prune and repack that page within the window. We have lock on the new target tuple, but that wouldn't prevent it being moved on the page. Alexander Lakhin and Tom Lane, per bug #17798 from Alexander Lakhin. Back-patch to v14 where 86dc90056 came in. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/17798-0907404928dcf0dd@postgresql.org

2024-01-13Cope with catcache entries becoming stale during detoasting.Tom Lane
We've long had a policy that any toasted fields in a catalog tuple should be pulled in-line before entering the tuple in a catalog cache. However, that requires access to the catalog's toast table, and we'll typically do AcceptInvalidationMessages while opening the toast table. So it's possible that the catalog tuple is outdated by the time we finish detoasting it. Since no cache entry exists yet, we can't mark the entry stale during AcceptInvalidationMessages, and instead we'll press forward and build an apparently-valid cache entry. The upshot is that we have a race condition whereby an out-of-date entry could be made in a backend's catalog cache, and persist there indefinitely causing indeterminate misbehavior. To fix, use the existing systable_recheck_tuple code to recheck whether the catalog tuple is still up-to-date after we finish detoasting it. If not, loop around and restart the process of searching the catalog and constructing cache entries from the top. The case is rare enough that this shouldn't create any meaningful performance penalty, even in the SearchCatCacheList case where we need to tear down and reconstruct the whole list. Indeed, the case is so rare that AFAICT it doesn't occur during our regression tests, and there doesn't seem to be any easy way to build a test that would exercise it reliably. To allow testing of the retry code paths, add logic (in USE_ASSERT_CHECKING builds only) that randomly pretends that the recheck failed about one time out of a thousand. This is enough to ensure that we'll pass through the retry paths during most regression test runs. By adding an extra level of looping, this commit creates a need to reindent most of SearchCatCacheMiss and SearchCatCacheList. I'll do that separately, to allow putting those changes in .git-blame-ignore-revs. Patch by me; thanks to Alexander Lakhin for having built a test case to prove the bug is real, and to Xiaoran Wang for review.
