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.

2024-10-07Fix Y2038 issues with MyStartTime.Nathan Bossart
Several places treat MyStartTime as a "long", which is only 32 bits wide on some platforms. In reality, MyStartTime is a pg_time_t, i.e., a signed 64-bit integer. This will lead to interesting bugs on the aforementioned systems in 2038 when signed 32-bit integers are no longer sufficient to store Unix time (e.g., "pg_ctl start" hanging). To fix, ensure that MyStartTime is handled as a 64-bit value everywhere. (Of course, users will need to ensure that time_t is 64 bits wide on their system, too.)

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. (Before a1c692358, pg_cursor would instead return a row with NULL in the statement column. We could revert to that behavior but it doesn't really seem like a better definition, especially since our documentation doesn't suggest that the column could be NULL.) Per report from PetSerAl.

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.

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.

2024-09-24For 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).

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.

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.

This is done by setting a flag using an in-place update, so that it's not lost in case of rollback. For databases with many ACLs, this may however fail like this: ERROR: wrong tuple length This happens because with many ACLs, the pg_database.datacl attribute gets TOASTed.

2024-08-12Fix creation of partition descriptor during concurrent detach+dropAlvaro Herrera
If a partition undergoes DETACH CONCURRENTLY immediately followed by DROP, this could cause a problem for a concurrent transaction recomputing the partition descriptor when running a prepared statement, because it tries to dereference a pointer to a tuple that's not found in a catalog scan. The existing retry logic added in commit dbca3469ebf8 is sufficient to cope with the overall problem, provided we don't try to dereference a non-existant heap tuple. Arguably, the code in RelationBuildPartitionDesc() has been wrong all along, since no check was added in commit 898e5e3290a7 against receiving a NULL tuple from the catalog scan; that bug has only become user-visible with DETACH CONCURRENTLY which was added in branch 14. Therefore, even though there's no known mechanism to cause a crash because of this, backpatch the addition of such a check to all supported branches. In branches prior to 14, this would cause the code to fail with a "missing relpartbound for relation XYZ" error instead of crashing; that's okay, because there are no reports of such behavior anyway.

2024-08-10Allow adjusting session_authorization and role in parallel workers.Tom Lane
The code intends to allow GUCs to be set within parallel workers via function SET clauses, but not otherwise. However, doing so fails for "session_authorization" and "role", because the assign hooks for those attempt to set the subsidiary "is_superuser" GUC, and that call falls foul of the "not otherwise" prohibition. We can't switch to using GUC_ACTION_SAVE for this, so instead add a new GUC variable flag GUC_ALLOW_IN_PARALLEL to mark is_superuser as being safe to set anyway. (This is okay because is_superuser has context PGC_INTERNAL and thus only hard-wired calls can change it. We'd need more thought before applying the flag to other GUCs; but maybe there are other use-cases.) This isn't the prettiest fix perhaps, but other alternatives we thought of would be much more invasive. While here, correct a thinko in commit 059de3ca4: when rejecting a GUC setting within a parallel worker, we should return 0 not -1 if the ereport doesn't longjmp. (This seems to have no consequences right now because no caller cares, but it's inconsistent.) Improve the comments to try to forestall future confusion of the same kind.

There isn't anything remaining in the plan tree that would help us, so fall back to printing the field name as "fN" for the N'th column of the record. (This will actually be the right thing some of the time, since it matches the column names we assign to RowExprs.) In passing, fix a comment typo in create_projection_plan, which I noticed while experimenting with an alternative fix for this. Per bug #18576 from Vasya B. Back-patch to all supported branches.

2024-08-08Refuse ATTACH of a table referenced by a foreign keyAlvaro Herrera
Trying to attach a table as a partition which is already on the referenced side of a foreign key on the partitioned table that it is being attached to, leads to strange behavior: we try to clone the foreign key from the parent to the partition, but this new FK points to the partition itself, and the mix of pg_constraint rows and triggers doesn't behave well. Rather than trying to untangle the mess (which might be possible given sufficient time), I opted to forbid the ATTACH. This doesn't seem a problematic restriction, given that we already fail to create the foreign key if you do it the other way around, that is, having the partition first and the FK second.

2024-08-08Fix pg_rewind debug output to print the source timeline historyHeikki Linnakangas
getTimelineHistory() is called twice, to read the source and the target timeline history files. However, the loop to print the file with the --debug option used the wrong variable when dealing with the source. As a result, the source's history was always printed as empty. Spotted while debugging bug #18575, but this does not fix that bug, just the debugging output. Backpatch to all supported versions.

2024-08-08Revert ECPG's use of pnstrdup()Peter Eisentraut
Commit 0b9466fce added a dependency on fe_memutils' pnstrdup() inside informix.c. This adds an exit() path in a library, which we don't want. (Unlike libpq, the ecpg libraries don't have an automated check for that, but it makes sense to keep them to a similar standard.) The ecpg code can already handle failure results from the *strdup() call by itself.

2024-08-05Restrict accesses to non-system views and foreign tables during pg_dump.Masahiko Sawada
When pg_dump retrieves the list of database objects and performs the data dump, there was possibility that objects are replaced with others of the same name, such as views, and access them. This vulnerability could result in code execution with superuser privileges during the pg_dump process. This issue can arise when dumping data of sequences, foreign tables (only 13 or later), or tables registered with a WHERE clause in the extension configuration table. To address this, pg_dump now utilizes the newly introduced restrict_nonsystem_relation_kind GUC parameter to restrict the accesses to non-system views and foreign tables during the dump process. This new GUC parameter is added to back branches too, but these changes do not require cluster recreation. Back-patch to all supported branches.

2024-07-31Revert "Allow parallel workers to cope with a newly-created session user ID."Tom Lane
This reverts commit 216201027d90e99a0a2b2d2efba85dc0aac94c62. Some buildfarm animals are failing with "cannot change "client_encoding" during a parallel operation". It looks like assign_client_encoding is unhappy at being asked to roll back a client_encoding setting after a parallel worker encounters a failure. There must be more to it though: why didn't I see this during local testing? In any case, it's clear that moving the RestoreGUCState() call is not as side-effect-free as I thought. Given that the bug f5f30c22e intended to fix has gone unreported for years, it's not something that's urgent to fix; I'm not willing to risk messing with it further with only days to our next release wrap.
2024-07-31Allow parallel workers to cope with a newly-created session user ID.Tom Lane
Parallel workers failed after a sequence like BEGIN; CREATE USER foo; SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION foo; because check_session_authorization could not see the uncommitted pg_authid row for "foo". This is because we ran RestoreGUCState() in a separate transaction using an ordinary just-created snapshot. The same disease afflicts any other GUC that requires catalog lookups and isn't forgiving about the lookups failing. To fix, postpone RestoreGUCState() into the worker's main transaction after we've set up a snapshot duplicating the leader's. This affects check_transaction_isolation and check_transaction_deferrable, which think they should only run during transaction start. Make them act like check_transaction_read_only, which already knows it should silently accept the value when InitializingParallelWorker. Per bug #18545 from Andrey Rachitskiy. Back-patch to all supported branches, because this has been wrong for awhile. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/18545-feba138862f19aaa@postgresql.org
