2015-07-30Avoid some zero-divide hazards in the planner.Tom Lane
Although I think on all modern machines floating division by zero results in Infinity not SIGFPE, we still don't want infinities running around in the planner's costing estimates; too much risk of that leading to insane behavior. grouping_planner() failed to consider the possibility that final_rel might be known dummy and hence have zero rowcount. (I wonder if it would be better to set a rows estimate of 1 for dummy relations? But at least in the back branches, changing this convention seems like a bad idea, so I'll leave that for another day.) Make certain that get_variable_numdistinct() produces a nonzero result. The case that can be shown to be broken is with stadistinct < 0.0 and small ntuples; we did not prevent the result from rounding to zero. For good luck I applied clamp_row_est() to all the nonconstant return values. In ExecChooseHashTableSize(), Assert that we compute positive nbuckets and nbatch. I know of no reason to think this isn't the case, but it seems like a good safety check. Per reports from Piotr Stefaniak. Back-patch to all active branches.
2015-07-30Fix calculation of latency of pgbench backslash commands.Heikki Linnakangas
When we loop back to the top of doCustom after processing a backslash command, we must reset the "now" timestamp, because that's used to calculate the time spent executing the previous command. Report and fix by Fabien Coelho. Backpatch to 9.5, where this was broken.
2015-07-29Remove redundant "make install" from pg_upgrade test suite.Noah Misch
A top-level "make install" includes pg_upgrade since commit 9fa8b0ee90c44c0f97d16bf65e94322988c94864. Back-patch to 9.5, where that commit first appeared.
2015-07-29MSVC: Revert most 9.5 changes to pre-9.5 vcregress.pl tests.Noah Misch
The reverted changes did not narrow the semantic gap between the MSVC build system and the GNU make build system. For targets old and new that run multiple suites (contribcheck, modulescheck, tapcheck), restore vcregress.pl to mimicking "make -k" rather than the "make -S" default. Lack of "-k" would be more burdensome than lack of "-S". Keep changes reflecting contemporary changes to the GNU make build system, and keep updates to Makefile parsing. Keep the loss of --psqldir in "check" and "ecpgcheck" targets; it had been a no-op when used alongside --temp-install. No log message mentioned any of the reverted changes. Based on a germ by Michael Paquier. Back-patch to 9.5.

2015-07-29MSVC: Future-proof installation file skip logic.Noah Misch
This code relied on knowing exactly where in the source tree temporary installations might appear. A reasonable hacker may not think to update this code when adding use of a temporary installation, making it fragile. Observe that commit 9fa8b0ee90c44c0f97d16bf65e94322988c94864 broke it unnoticed, and commit dcae5faccab64776376d354decda0017c648bb53 fixed it unnoticed. Back-patch to 9.5 only; use of temporary installations is unlikely to change in released versions.

2015-07-29Add some test coverage of EvalPlanQual with non-locked tables.Tom Lane
A Salesforce colleague of mine griped that the regression tests don't exercise EvalPlanQualFetchRowMarks() and allied routines. Which is a fair complaint. Add test cases that go through the REFERENCE and COPY code paths. Unfortunately we don't have sufficient infrastructure right now to exercise the FDW code path in the isolation tests, but this is surely better than before.
2015-07-29Add missing post create and alter hooks to policy objects.Joe Conway

2015-07-29Make TAP tests work on Windows.Heikki Linnakangas
On Windows, use listen_address=127.0.0.1 to allow TCP connections. We were already using "pg_regress --config-auth" to set up HBA appropriately. The standard_initdb helper function now sets up the server's unix_socket_directories or listen_addresses in the config file, so that they don't need to be specified in the pg_ctl command line anymore. That way, the pg_ctl invocations in test programs don't need to differ between Windows and Unix. Add another helper function to configure the server's pg_hba.conf to allow replication connections. The configuration is done similarly to "pg_regress --config-auth": trust on domain sockets on Unix, and SSPI authentication on Windows. Replace calls to "cat" and "touch" programs with built-in perl code, as those programs don't normally exist on Windows. Add instructions in the docs on how to install IPC::Run on Windows. Adjust vcregress.pl to not replace PERL5LIB completely in vcregress.pl, because otherwise cannot install IPC::Run in a non-standard location easily. Michael Paquier, reviewed by Noah Misch, some additional tweaking by me.

2015-07-28Disallow converting a table to a view if row security is present.Joe Conway
When DefineQueryRewrite() is about to convert a table to a view, it checks the table for features unavailable to views. For example, it rejects tables having triggers. It omits to reject tables having relrowsecurity or a pg_policy record. Fix that. To faciliate the repair, invent relation_has_policies() which indicates the presence of policies on a relation even when row security is disabled for that relation. Reported by Noah Misch. Patch by me, review by Stephen Frost. Back-patch to 9.5 where RLS was introduced.

Back-patch to 9.5 where RLS was introduced.
2015-07-28Only adjust negative indexes in json_get up to the length of the path.Andrew Dunstan

2015-07-28Reduce chatter from signaling of autovacuum workers.Tom Lane
Don't print a WARNING if we get ESRCH from a kill() that's attempting to cancel an autovacuum worker. It's possible (and has been seen in the buildfarm) that the worker is already gone by the time we are able to execute the kill, in which case the failure is harmless. About the only plausible reason for reporting such cases would be to help debug corrupted lock table contents, but this is hardly likely to be the most important symptom if that happens. Moreover issuing a WARNING might scare users more than is warranted. Also, since sending a signal to an autovacuum worker is now entirely a routine thing, and the worker will log the query cancel on its end anyway, reduce the message saying we're doing that from LOG to DEBUG1 level. Very minor cosmetic cleanup as well. Since the main practical reason for doing this is to avoid unnecessary buildfarm failures, back-patch to all active branches.
2015-07-28Bump catversion so that HEAD is beyond 9.5Joe Conway
As pointed out by Tom, since HEAD has progressed beyond 9.5 in terms of its catalog, we need to be sure catversion of HEAD is advanced beyond that of 9.5. Corrects my mistake in the pg_stats view commit cfa928ff.
2015-07-28Plug RLS related information leak in pg_stats view.Joe Conway
The pg_stats view is supposed to be restricted to only show rows about tables the user can read. However, it sometimes can leak information which could not otherwise be seen when row level security is enabled. Fix that by not showing pg_stats rows to users that would be subject to RLS on the table the row is related to. This is done by creating/using the newly introduced SQL visible function, row_security_active(). Along the way, clean up three call sites of check_enable_rls(). The second argument of that function should only be specified as other than InvalidOid when we are checking as a different user than the current one, as in when querying through a view. These sites were passing GetUserId() instead of InvalidOid, which can cause the function to return incorrect results if the current user has the BYPASSRLS privilege and row_security has been set to OFF. Additionally fix a bug causing RI Trigger error messages to unintentionally leak information when RLS is enabled, and other minor cleanup and improvements. Also add WITH (security_barrier) to the definition of pg_stats. Bumped CATVERSION due to new SQL functions and pg_stats view definition. Back-patch to 9.5 where RLS was introduced. Reported by Yaroslav. Patch by Joe Conway and Dean Rasheed with review and input by Michael Paquier and Stephen Frost.
2015-07-28Remove ssl renegotiation support.Andres Freund
While postgres' use of SSL renegotiation is a good idea in theory, it turned out to not work well in practice. The specification and openssl's implementation of it have lead to several security issues. Postgres' use of renegotiation also had its share of bugs. Additionally OpenSSL has a bunch of bugs around renegotiation, reported and open for years, that regularly lead to connections breaking with obscure error messages. We tried increasingly complex workarounds to get around these bugs, but we didn't find anything complete. Since these connection breakages often lead to hard to debug problems, e.g. spuriously failing base backups and significant latency spikes when synchronous replication is used, we have decided to change the default setting for ssl renegotiation to 0 (disabled) in the released backbranches and remove it entirely in 9.5 and master.

2015-07-28Centralize decision-making about where to get a backend's PGPROC.Robert Haas
This code was originally written as part of parallel query effort, but it seems to have independent value, because if we make one decision about where to get a PGPROC when we allocate and then put it back on a different list at backend-exit time, bad things happen. This isn't just a theoretical risk; we fixed an actual problem of this type in commit e280c630a87e1b8325770c6073097d109d79a00f.
2015-07-28Remove an unsafe Assert, and explain join_clause_is_movable_into() better.Tom Lane
join_clause_is_movable_into() is approximate, in the sense that it might sometimes return "false" when actually it would be valid to push the given join clause down to the specified level. This is okay ... but there was an Assert in get_joinrel_parampathinfo() that's only safe if the answers are always exact. Comment out the Assert, and add a bunch of commentary to clarify what's going on. Per fuzz testing by Andreas Seltenreich. The added regression test is a pretty silly query, but it's based on his crasher example. Back-patch to 9.2 where the faulty logic was introduced.

2015-07-27Improve RLS handling in copy.cStephen Frost
To avoid a race condition where the relation being COPY'd could be changed into a view or otherwise modified, keep the original lock on the relation. Further, fully qualify the relation when building the query up. Also remove the poorly thought-out Assert() and check the entire relationOids list as, post-RLS, there can certainly be multiple relations involved and the planner does not guarantee their ordering. Per discussion with Noah and Andres. Back-patch to 9.5 where RLS was introduced.

2015-07-27Reuse all-zero pages in GIN.Heikki Linnakangas
In GIN, an all-zeros page would be leaked forever, and never reused. Just add them to the FSM in vacuum, and they will be reinitialized when grabbed from the FSM. On master and 9.5, attempting to access the page's opaque struct also caused an assertion failure, although that was otherwise harmless. Reported by Jeff Janes. Backpatch to all supported versions.
2015-07-27Fix handling of all-zero pages in SP-GiST vacuum.Heikki Linnakangas
SP-GiST initialized an all-zeros page at vacuum, but that was not WAL-logged, which is not safe. You might get a torn page write, when it gets flushed to disk, and end-up with a half-initialized index page. To fix, leave it in the all-zeros state, and add it to the FSM. It will be initialized when reused. Also don't set the page-deleted flag when recycling an empty page. That was also not WAL-logged, and a torn write of that would cause the page to have an invalid checksum. Backpatch to 9.2, where SP-GiST indexes were added.

2015-07-26Fix oversight in flattening of subqueries with empty FROM.Tom Lane
I missed a restriction that commit f4abd0241de20d5d6a79b84992b9e88603d44134 should have enforced: we can't pull up an empty-FROM subquery if it's under an outer join, because then we'd need to wrap its output columns in PlaceHolderVars. As the code currently stands, the PHVs end up with empty relid sets, which doesn't work (and is correctly caught by an Assert). It's possible that this could be fixed by assigning the PHVs the relid sets of the parent FromExpr/JoinExpr, but getting that to work is more complication than I care to add right now; indeed it's likely that we'll never bother, since pulling up empty-FROM subqueries is a rather marginal optimization anyway. Per report from Andreas Seltenreich. Back-patch to 9.5 where the faulty code was added.
2015-07-26Make entirely-dummy appendrels get marked as such in set_append_rel_size.Tom Lane
The planner generally expects that the estimated rowcount of any relation is at least one row, *unless* it has been proven empty by constraint exclusion or similar mechanisms, which is marked by installing a dummy path as the rel's cheapest path (cf. IS_DUMMY_REL). When I split up allpaths.c's processing of base rels into separate set_base_rel_sizes and set_base_rel_pathlists steps, the intention was that dummy rels would get marked as such during the "set size" step; this is what justifies an Assert in indxpath.c's get_loop_count that other relations should either be dummy or have positive rowcount. Unfortunately I didn't get that quite right for append relations: if all the child rels have been proven empty then set_append_rel_size would come up with a rowcount of zero, which is correct, but it didn't then do set_dummy_rel_pathlist. (We would have ended up with the right state after set_append_rel_pathlist, but that's too late, if we generate indexpaths for some other rel first.) In addition to fixing the actual bug, I installed an Assert enforcing this convention in set_rel_size; that then allows simplification of a couple of now-redundant tests for zero rowcount in set_append_rel_size. Also, to cover the possibility that third-party FDWs have been careless about not returning a zero rowcount estimate, apply clamp_row_est to whatever an FDW comes up with as the rows estimate. Per report from Andreas Seltenreich. Back-patch to 9.2. Earlier branches did not have the separation between set_base_rel_sizes and set_base_rel_pathlists steps, so there was no intermediate state where an appendrel would have had inconsistent rowcount and pathlist. It's possible that adding the Assert to set_rel_size would be a good idea in older branches too; but since they're not under development any more, it's likely not worth the trouble.
2015-07-26Check the relevant index element in ON CONFLICT unique index inference.Andres Freund
ON CONFLICT unique index inference had a thinko that could affect cases where the user-supplied inference clause required that an attribute match a particular (user specified) collation and/or opclass. infer_collation_opclass_match() has to check for opclass and/or collation matches and that the attribute is in the list of attributes or expressions known to be in the definition of the index under consideration. The bug was that these two conditions weren't necessarily evaluated for the same index attribute.

2015-07-26Allow to push down clauses from HAVING to WHERE when grouping sets are used.Andres Freund
Previously we disallowed pushing down quals to WHERE in the presence of grouping sets. That's overly restrictive. We now instead copy quals to WHERE if applicable, leaving the one in HAVING in place. That's because, at that stage of the planning process, it's nontrivial to determine if it's safe to remove the one in HAVING. Author: Andrew Gierth Discussion: 874mkt3l59.fsf@news-spur.riddles.org.uk Backpatch: 9.5, where grouping sets were introduced. This isn't exactly a bugfix, but it seems better to keep the branches in sync at this point.
