2015-10-03Improve errhint() about replication slot naming restrictions.Andres Freund
The existing hint talked about "may only contain letters", but the actual requirement is more strict: only lower case letters are allowed. Reported-By: Rushabh Lathia Author: Rushabh Lathia Discussion: AGPqQf2x50qcwbYOBKzb4x75sO_V3g81ZsA8+Ji9iN5t_khFhQ@mail.gmail.com Backpatch: 9.4-, where replication slots were added
2015-10-03Fix several bugs related to ON CONFLICT's EXCLUDED pseudo relation.Andres Freund
Four related issues: 1) attnos/varnos/resnos for EXCLUDED were out of sync when a column after one dropped in the underlying relation was referenced. 2) References to whole-row variables (i.e. EXCLUDED.*) lead to errors. 3) It was possible to reference system columns in the EXCLUDED pseudo relations, even though they would not have valid contents. 4) References to EXCLUDED were rewritten by the RLS machinery, as EXCLUDED was treated as if it were the underlying relation. To fix the first two issues, generate the excluded targetlist with dropped columns in mind and add an entry for whole row variables. Instead of unconditionally adding a wholerow entry we could pull up the expression if needed, but doing it unconditionally seems simpler. The wholerow entry is only really needed for ruleutils/EXPLAIN support anyway. The remaining two issues are addressed by changing the EXCLUDED RTE to have relkind = composite. That fits with EXCLUDED not actually being a real relation, and allows to treat it differently in the relevant places. scanRTEForColumn now skips looking up system columns when the RTE has a composite relkind; fireRIRrules() already had a corresponding check, thereby preventing RLS expansion on EXCLUDED. Also add tests for these issues, and improve a few comments around excluded handling in setrefs.c.

2015-10-02Add recursion depth protection to LIKE matching.Tom Lane
Since MatchText() recurses, it could in principle be driven to stack overflow, although quite a long pattern would be needed.
2015-10-02Add recursion depth protections to regular expression matching.Tom Lane
Some of the functions in regex compilation and execution recurse, and therefore could in principle be driven to stack overflow. The Tcl crew has seen this happen in practice in duptraverse(), though their fix was to put in a hard-wired limit on the number of recursive levels, which is not too appetizing --- fortunately, we have enough infrastructure to check the actually available stack. Greg Stark has also seen it in other places while fuzz testing on a machine with limited stack space. Let's put guards in to prevent crashes in all these places. Since the regex code would leak memory if we simply threw elog(ERROR), we have to introduce an API that checks for stack depth without throwing such an error. Fortunately that's not difficult.
2015-10-02Fix potential infinite loop in regular expression execution.Tom Lane
In cfindloop(), if the initial call to shortest() reports that a zero-length match is possible at the current search start point, but then it is unable to construct any actual match to that, it'll just loop around with the same start point, and thus make no progress. We need to force the start point to be advanced. This is safe because the loop over "begin" points has already tried and failed to match starting at "close", so there is surely no need to try that again. This bug was introduced in commit e2bd904955e2221eddf01110b1f25002de2aaa83, wherein we allowed continued searching after we'd run out of match possibilities, but evidently failed to think hard enough about exactly where we needed to search next. Because of the way this code works, such a match failure is only possible in the presence of backrefs --- otherwise, shortest()'s judgment that a match is possible should always be correct. That probably explains how come the bug has escaped detection for several years. The actual fix is a one-liner, but I took the trouble to add/improve some comments related to the loop logic. After fixing that, the submitted test case "()*\1" didn't loop anymore. But it reported failure, though it seems like it ought to match a zero-length string; both Tcl and Perl think it does. That seems to be from overenthusiastic optimization on my part when I rewrote the iteration match logic in commit 173e29aa5deefd9e71c183583ba37805c8102a72: we can't just "declare victory" for a zero-length match without bothering to set match data for capturing parens inside the iterator node. Per fuzz testing by Greg Stark. The first part of this is a bug in all supported branches, and the second part is a bug since 9.2 where the iteration rewrite happened.
2015-10-02Add some more query-cancel checks to regular expression matching.Tom Lane
Commit 9662143f0c35d64d7042fbeaf879df8f0b54be32 added infrastructure to allow regular-expression operations to be terminated early in the event of SIGINT etc. However, fuzz testing by Greg Stark disclosed that there are still cases where regex compilation could run for a long time without noticing a cancel request. Specifically, the fixempties() phase never adds new states, only new arcs, so it doesn't hit the cancel check I'd put in newstate(). Add one to newarc() as well to cover that. Some experimentation of my own found that regex execution could also run for a long time despite a pending cancel. We'd put a high-level cancel check into cdissect(), but there was none inside the core text-matching routines longest() and shortest(). Ordinarily those inner loops are very very fast ... but in the presence of lookahead constraints, not so much. As a compromise, stick a cancel check into the stateset cache-miss function, which is enough to guarantee a cancel check at least once per lookahead constraint test. Making this work required more attention to error handling throughout the regex executor. Henry Spencer had apparently originally intended longest() and shortest() to be incapable of incurring errors while running, so neither they nor their subroutines had well-defined error reporting behaviors. However, that was already broken by the lookahead constraint feature, since lacon() can surely suffer an out-of-memory failure --- which, in the code as it stood, might never be reported to the user at all, but just silently be treated as a non-match of the lookahead constraint. Normalize all that by inserting explicit error tests as needed. I took the opportunity to add some more comments to the code, too. Back-patch to all supported branches, like the previous patch.

2015-10-01Fix pg_dump to handle inherited NOT VALID check constraints correctly.Tom Lane
This case seems to have been overlooked when unvalidated check constraints were introduced, in 9.2. The code would attempt to dump such constraints over again for each child table, even though adding them to the parent table is sufficient. In 9.2 and 9.3, also fix contrib/pg_upgrade/Makefile so that the "make clean" target fully cleans up after a failed test. This evidently got dealt with at some point in 9.4, but it wasn't back-patched. I ran into it while testing this fix ... Per bug #13656 from Ingmar Brouns.
2015-10-01Fix commit_ts for standbyAlvaro Herrera
Module initialization was still not completely correct after commit 6b61955135e9, per crash report from Takashi Ohnishi. To fix, instead of trying to monkey around with the value of the GUC setting directly, add a separate boolean flag that enables the feature on a standby, but only for the startup (recovery) process, when it sees that its master server has the feature enabled. Discussion: http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/ca44c6c7f9314868bdc521aea4f77cbf@MP-MSGSS-MBX004.msg.nttdata.co.jp Also change the deactivation routine to delete all segment files rather than leaving the last one around. (This doesn't need separate WAL-logging, because on recovery we execute the same deactivation routine anyway.) In passing, clean up the code structure somewhat, particularly so that xlog.c doesn't know so much about when to activate/deactivate the feature. Thanks to Fujii Masao for testing and Petr Jelínek for off-list discussion. Back-patch to 9.5, where commit_ts was introduced.

2015-09-30Improve LISTEN startup time when there are many unread notifications.Tom Lane
If some existing listener is far behind, incoming new listener sessions would start from that session's read pointer and then need to advance over many already-committed notification messages, which they have no interest in. This was expensive in itself and also thrashed the pg_notify SLRU buffers a lot more than necessary. We can improve matters considerably in typical scenarios, without much added cost, by starting from the furthest-ahead read pointer, not the furthest-behind one. We do have to consider only sessions in our own database when doing this, which requires an extra field in the data structure, but that's a pretty small cost. Back-patch to 9.0 where the current LISTEN/NOTIFY logic was introduced. Matt Newell, slightly adjusted by me
2015-09-30Add a Gather executor node.Robert Haas
A Gather executor node runs any number of copies of a plan in an equal number of workers and merges all of the results into a single tuple stream. It can also run the plan itself, if the workers are unavailable or haven't started up yet. It is intended to work with the Partial Seq Scan node which will be added in future commits. It could also be used to implement parallel query of a different sort by itself, without help from Partial Seq Scan, if the single_copy mode is used. In that mode, a worker executes the plan, and the parallel leader does not, merely collecting the worker's results. So, a Gather node could be inserted into a plan to split the execution of that plan across two processes. Nested Gather nodes aren't currently supported, but we might want to add support for that in the future. There's nothing in the planner to actually generate Gather nodes yet, so it's not quite time to break out the champagne. But we're getting close. Amit Kapila. Some designs suggestions were provided by me, and I also reviewed the patch. Single-copy mode, documentation, and other minor changes also by me.

2015-09-30Include policies based on ACLs neededStephen Frost
When considering which policies should be included, rather than look at individual bits of the query (eg: if a RETURNING clause exists, or if a WHERE clause exists which is referencing the table, or if it's a FOR SHARE/UPDATE query), consider any case where we've determined the user needs SELECT rights on the relation while doing an UPDATE or DELETE to be a case where we apply SELECT policies, and any case where we've deteremind that the user needs UPDATE rights on the relation while doing a SELECT to be a case where we apply UPDATE policies. This simplifies the logic and addresses concerns that a user could use UPDATE or DELETE with a WHERE clauses to determine if rows exist, or they could use SELECT .. FOR UPDATE to lock rows which they are not actually allowed to modify through UPDATE policies. Use list_append_unique() to avoid adding the same quals multiple times, as, on balance, the cost of checking when adding the quals will almost always be cheaper than keeping them and doing busywork for each tuple during execution. Back-patch to 9.5 where RLS was added.
2015-09-29Small improvements in comments in async.c.Tom Lane
We seem to have lost a line somewhere along the way in the comment block that discusses async.c's locks, because it suddenly refers to "both locks" without previously having mentioned more than one. Add a sentence to make that read more sanely. Also, refer to the "pos of the slowest backend" not the "tail of the slowest backend", since we have no per-backend value called "tail".
2015-09-30Fix incorrect tps number calculation in "excluding connections establishing".Tatsuo Ishii
The tolerance (larger than actual tps number) increases as the number of threads decreases. The bug has been there since the thread support was introduced in 9.0. Because back patching introduces incompatible behavior changes regarding the tps number, the fix is committed to master and 9.5 stable branches only. Problem spotted by me and fix proposed by Fabien COELHO. Note that his original patch included more than fixes (a code re-factoring) which is not related to the problem and I omitted the part.
2015-09-29Code review for transaction commit timestampsAlvaro Herrera
There are three main changes here: 1. No longer cause a start failure in a standby if the feature is disabled in postgresql.conf but enabled in the master. This reverts one part of commit 4f3924d9cd43; what we keep is the ability of the standby to activate/deactivate the module (which includes creating and removing segments as appropriate) during replay of such actions in the master. 2. Replay WAL records affecting commitTS even if the feature is disabled. This means the standby will always have the same state as the master after replay. 3. Have COMMIT PREPARE record the transaction commit time as well. We were previously only applying it in the normal transaction commit path.

2015-09-29Fix plperl to handle non-ASCII error message texts correctly.Tom Lane
We were passing error message texts to croak() verbatim, which turns out not to work if the text contains non-ASCII characters; Perl mangles their encoding, as reported in bug #13638 from Michal Leinweber. To fix, convert the text into a UTF8-encoded SV first. It's hard to test this without risking failures in different database encodings; but we can follow the lead of plpython, which is already assuming that no-break space (U+00A0) has an equivalent in all encodings we care about running the regression tests in (cf commit 2dfa15de5). Back-patch to 9.1. The code is quite different in 9.0, and anyway it seems too risky to put something like this into 9.0's final minor release.

2015-09-28Parallel executor support.Robert Haas
This code provides infrastructure for a parallel leader to start up parallel workers to execute subtrees of the plan tree being executed in the master. User-supplied parameters from ParamListInfo are passed down, but PARAM_EXEC parameters are not. Various other constructs, such as initplans, subplans, and CTEs, are also not currently shared.

2015-09-28Fix poor errno handling in libpq's version of our custom OpenSSL BIO.Tom Lane
Thom Brown reported that SSL connections didn't seem to work on Windows in 9.5. Asif Naeem figured out that the cause was my_sock_read() looking at "errno" when it needs to look at "SOCK_ERRNO". This mistake was introduced in commit 680513ab79c7e12e402a2aad7921b95a25a4bcc8, which cloned the backend's custom SSL BIO code into libpq, and didn't translate the errno handling properly. Moreover, it introduced unnecessary errno save/restore logic, which was particularly confusing because it was incomplete; and it failed to check for all three of EINTR, EAGAIN, and EWOULDBLOCK in my_sock_write. (That might not be necessary; but since we're copying well-tested backend code that does do that, it seems prudent to copy it faithfully.)

2015-09-26Remove legacy multixact truncation support.Andres Freund
In 9.5 and master there is no need to support legacy truncation. This is just committed separately to make it easier to backpatch the WAL logged multixact truncation to 9.3 and 9.4 if we later decide to do so. I bumped master's magic from 0xD086 to 0xD088 and 9.5's from 0xD085 to 0xD087 to avoid 9.5 reusing a value that has been in use on master while keeping the numbers increasing between major versions.

2015-09-26Rework the way multixact truncations work.Andres Freund
The fact that multixact truncations are not WAL logged has caused a fair share of problems. Amongst others it requires to do computations during recovery while the database is not in a consistent state, delaying truncations till checkpoints, and handling members being truncated, but offset not. We tried to put bandaids on lots of these issues over the last years, but it seems time to change course. Thus this patch introduces WAL logging for multixact truncations. This allows: 1) to perform the truncation directly during VACUUM, instead of delaying it to the checkpoint. 2) to avoid looking at the offsets SLRU for truncation during recovery, we can just use the master's values. 3) simplify a fair amount of logic to keep in memory limits straight, this has gotten much easier During the course of fixing this a bunch of additional bugs had to be fixed: 1) Data was not purged from memory the member's SLRU before deleting segments. This happened to be hard or impossible to hit due to the interlock between checkpoints and truncation. 2) find_multixact_start() relied on SimpleLruDoesPhysicalPageExist - but that doesn't work for offsets that haven't yet been flushed to disk. Add code to flush the SLRUs to fix. Not pretty, but it feels slightly safer to only make decisions based on actual on-disk state. 3) find_multixact_start() could be called concurrently with a truncation and thus fail. Via SetOffsetVacuumLimit() that could lead to a round of emergency vacuuming. The problem remains in pg_get_multixact_members(), but that's quite harmless. For now this is going to only get applied to 9.5+, leaving the issues in the older branches in place. It is quite possible that we need to backpatch at a later point though. For the case this gets backpatched we need to handle that an updated standby may be replaying WAL from a not-yet upgraded primary. We have to recognize that situation and use "old style" truncation (i.e. looking at the SLRUs) during WAL replay. In contrast to before, this now happens in the startup process, when replaying a checkpoint record, instead of the checkpointer. Doing truncation in the restartpoint is incorrect, they can happen much later than the original checkpoint, thereby leading to wraparound. To avoid "multixact_redo: unknown op code 48" errors standbys would have to be upgraded before primaries. A later patch will bump the WAL page magic, and remove the legacy truncation codepaths. Legacy truncation support is just included to make a possible future backpatch easier.

2015-09-25Second try at fixing O(N^2) problem in foreign key references.Tom Lane
This replaces ill-fated commit 5ddc72887a012f6a8b85707ef27d85c274faf53d, which was reverted because it broke active uses of FK cache entries. In this patch, we still do nothing more to invalidatable cache entries than mark them as needing revalidation, so we won't break active uses. To keep down the overhead of InvalidateConstraintCacheCallBack(), keep a list of just the currently-valid cache entries. (The entries are large enough that some added space for list links doesn't seem like a big problem.) This would still be O(N^2) when there are many valid entries, though, so when the list gets too long, just force the "sinval reset" behavior to remove everything from the list. I set the threshold at 1000 entries, somewhat arbitrarily. Possibly that could be fine-tuned later. Another item for future study is whether it's worth adding reference counting so that we could safely remove invalidated entries. As-is, problem cases are likely to end up with large and mostly invalid FK caches. Like the previous attempt, backpatch to 9.3. Jan Wieck and Tom Lane
2015-09-25Further fix for psql's code for locale-aware formatting of numeric output.Tom Lane
(Third time's the charm, I hope.) Additional testing disclosed that this code could mangle already-localized output from the "money" datatype. We can't very easily skip applying it to "money" values, because the logic is tied to column right-justification and people expect "money" output to be right-justified. Short of decoupling that, we can fix it in what should be a safe enough way by testing to make sure the string doesn't contain any characters that would not be expected in plain numeric output.
2015-09-25Further fix for psql's code for locale-aware formatting of numeric output.Tom Lane
On closer inspection, those seemingly redundant atoi() calls were not so much inefficient as just plain wrong: the author of this code either had not read, or had not understood, the POSIX specification for localeconv(). The grouping field is *not* a textual digit string but separate integers encoded as chars. We'll follow the existing code as well as the backend's cash.c in only honoring the first group width, but let's at least honor it correctly. This doesn't actually result in any behavioral change in any of the locales I have installed on my Linux box, which may explain why nobody's complained; grouping width 3 is close enough to universal that it's barely worth considering other cases. Still, wrong is wrong, so back-patch.
2015-09-24Fix psql's code for locale-aware formatting of numeric output.Tom Lane
This code did the wrong thing entirely for numbers with an exponent but no decimal point (e.g., '1e6'), as reported by Jeff Janes in bug #13636. More generally, it made lots of unverified assumptions about what the input string could possibly look like. Rearrange so that it only fools with leading digits that it's directly verified are there, and an immediately adjacent decimal point. While at it, get rid of some useless inefficiencies, like converting the grouping count string to integer over and over (and over). This has been broken for a long time, so back-patch to all supported branches.
2015-09-24Allow planner to use expression-index stats for function calls in WHERE.Tom Lane
Previously, a function call appearing at the top level of WHERE had a hard-wired selectivity estimate of 0.3333333, a kludge conveniently dated in the source code itself to July 1992. The expectation at the time was that somebody would soon implement estimator support functions analogous to those for operators; but no such code has appeared, nor does it seem likely to in the near future. We do have an alternative solution though, at least for immutable functions on single relations: creating an expression index on the function call will allow ANALYZE to gather stats about the function's selectivity. But the code in clause_selectivity() failed to make use of such data even if it exists. Refactor so that that will happen. I chose to make it try this technique for any clause type for which clause_selectivity() doesn't have a special case, not just functions. To avoid adding unnecessary overhead in the common case where we don't learn anything new, make selfuncs.c provide an API that hooks directly to examine_variable() and then var_eq_const(), rather than the previous coding which laboriously constructed an OpExpr only so that it could be expensively deconstructed again. I preserved the behavior that the default estimate for a function call is 0.3333333. (For any other expression node type, it's 0.5, as before.) I had originally thought to make the default be 0.5 across the board, but changing a default estimate that's survived for twenty-three years seems like something not to do without a lot more testing than I care to put into it right now. Per a complaint from Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais. Back-patch into 9.5, but not further, at least for the moment.
2015-09-24Don't zero opfuncid when reading nodes.Robert Haas
The comments here stated that this was just in case we ever had an ALTER OPERATOR command that could remap an operator to a different function. But those comments have been here for a long time, and no such command has come about. In the absence of such a feature, forcing the pg_proc OID to be looked up again each time we reread a stored rule or similar is just a waste of cycles. Moreover, parallel query needs a way to reread the exact same node tree that was written out, not one that has been slightly stomped on. So just get rid of this for now. Per discussion with Tom Lane.

2015-09-24Lower *_freeze_max_age minimum values.Andres Freund
The old minimum values are rather large, making it time consuming to test related behaviour. Additionally the current limits, especially for multixacts, can be problematic in space-constrained systems. 10000000 multixacts can contain a lot of members. Since there's no good reason for the current limits, lower them a good bit. Setting them to 0 would be a bad idea, triggering endless vacuums, so still retain a limit.

2015-09-23Make ANALYZE compute basic statistics even for types with no "=" operator.Tom Lane
Previously, ANALYZE simply ignored columns of datatypes that have neither a btree nor hash opclass (which means they have no recognized equality operator). Without a notion of equality, we can't identify most-common values nor estimate the number of distinct values. But we can still count nulls and compute the average physical column width, and those stats might be of value. Moreover there are some tools out there that don't work so well if rows are missing from pg_statistic. So let's add suitable logic for this case. While this is arguably a bug fix, it also has the potential to change query plans, and the gain seems not worth taking a risk of that in stable branches. So back-patch into 9.5 but not further.

For parallel query, we need to be able to pass a Plan to a worker, so that it knows what it's supposed to do. We could invent our own way of serializing plans for that purpose, but piggybacking on the existing node infrastructure seems like a much better idea. Initially, we'll probably only support a limited number of nodes within parallel workers, but this commit adds support for everything in plannodes.h except CustomScan, because doing it all at once seems easier than doing it piecemeal, and it makes testing this code easier, too. CustomScan is excluded because making that work requires a larger rework of that facility. Amit Kapila, reviewed and slightly revised by me.
