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 Therefore, our view of these caches prior to starting this transaction may no longer valid.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
2015-10-15Revert "Have dtrace depend on object files directly, not objfiles.txt"Robert Haas

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.

2015-10-13Have dtrace depend on object files directly, not objfiles.txtRobert Haas
Per Mark Johnston, this resolves a build error on FreeBSD related to the fact that dtrace is modifying the generated object files under the hood. Consequently, without this, dtrace gets reinvoked at install time because the object files have been updated. This is a pretty hacky fix, but it shouldn't hurt anything, and it's not clear that it's worth expending any more effort for a feature that not too many people are using. Patch by Mark Johnston. This is arguably back-patchable as a bug fix to the build system, but I'm not certain enough of the consequences to try that. Let's see what the buildfarm (and our packagers) think of this change on master first.

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
2015-10-12Fix "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

2015-10-09Speed up text sorts where the same strings occur multiple times.Robert Haas
Cache strxfrm() blobs across calls made to the text SortSupport abbreviation routine. This can speed up sorting if the same string needs to be abbreviated many times in a row. Also, cache the result of the previous strcoll() comparison, so that if we're asked to compare the same strings agin, we do need to call strcoll() again. Perhaps surprisingly, these optimizations don't seem to hurt even when they don't help. memcmp() is really cheap compared to strcoll() or strxfrm(). Peter Geoghegan, reviewed by me.
2015-10-09Make abbreviated key comparisons for text a bit cheaper.Robert Haas
If we do some byte-swapping while abbreviating, we can do comparisons using integer arithmetic rather than memcmp. Peter Geoghegan, reviewed and slightly revised by me.
2015-10-09Remove set_latch_on_sigusr1 flag.Robert Haas
This flag has proven to be a recipe for bugs, and it doesn't seem like it can really buy anything in terms of performance. So let's just *always* set the process latch when we receive SIGUSR1 instead of trying to do it only when needed. Per my recent proposal on pgsql-hackers.
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.

2015-10-06Perform 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.
2015-10-06Remove more volatile qualifiers.Robert Haas
Prior to commit 0709b7ee72e4bc71ad07b7120acd117265ab51d0, access to variables within a spinlock-protected critical section had to be done through a volatile pointer, but that should no longer be necessary.

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.)
2015-10-04Fix some issues in new hashtable size calculations in nodeHash.c.Tom Lane
Limit the size of the hashtable pointer array to not more than MaxAllocSize, per reports from Kouhei Kaigai and others of "invalid memory alloc request size" failures. There was discussion of allowing the array to get larger than that by using the "huge" palloc API, but so far no proof that that is actually a good idea, and at this point in the 9.5 cycle major changes from old behavior don't seem like the way to go. Fix a rather serious secondary bug in the new code, which was that it didn't ensure nbuckets remained a power of 2 when recomputing it for the multiple-batch case. Clean up sloppy division of labor between ExecHashIncreaseNumBuckets and its sole call site.
2015-10-04Disallow invalid path elements in jsonb_setAndrew Dunstan

2015-10-03Make BYPASSRLS behave like superuser RLS bypass.Noah Misch
Specifically, make its effect independent from the row_security GUC, and make it affect permission checks pertinent to views the BYPASSRLS role owns.

2015-10-03Add CASCADE support for CREATE EXTENSION.Andres Freund
Without CASCADE, if an extension has an unfullfilled dependency on another extension, CREATE EXTENSION ERRORs out with "required extension ... is not installed". That is annoying, especially when that dependency is an implementation detail of the extension, rather than something the extension's user can make sense of. In addition to CASCADE this also includes a small set of regression tests around CREATE EXTENSION.
