The code wrote a value into the caller's field[] array before checking
to see if there was room, which of course is backwards. Per report from
Michael Paquier.
I fixed the equivalent bug in the backend's version of this code way back
in 630684d3a130bb93, but failed to think about ecpg's copy. Fortunately
this doesn't look like it would be exploitable for anything worse than a
core dump: an external attacker would have no control over the single word
that gets written.

A future patch (9.5 only) adds slot management to pg_receivexlog. The
verbs create/drop don't seem descriptive enough there. It seems better
to rename pg_recvlogical's commands now, in beta, than live with the
inconsistency forever.
The old form (e.g. --drop) will still be accepted by virtue of most
getopt_long() options accepting abbreviations for long commands.
Backpatch to 9.4 where pg_recvlogical was introduced.

Teach sigusr1_handler() to use the same test for whether a worker
might need to be started as ServerLoop(). Aside from being perhaps
a bit simpler, this prevents a potentially-unbounded delay when
starting a background worker. On some platforms, select() doesn't
return when interrupted by a signal, but is instead restarted,
including a reset of the timeout to the originally-requested value.
If signals arrive often enough, but no connection requests arrive,
sigusr1_handler() will be executed repeatedly, but the body of
ServerLoop() won't be reached. This change ensures that, even in
that case, background workers will eventually get launched.
This is far from a perfect fix; really, we need select() to return
control to ServerLoop() after an interrupt, either via the self-pipe
trick or some other mechanism. But that's going to require more
work and discussion, so let's do this for now to at least mitigate
the damage.

Most zones in the Russian Federation are subtracting one or two hours
as of 2014-10-26. Update the meanings of the abbreviations IRKT, KRAT,
MAGT, MSK, NOVT, OMST, SAKT, VLAT, YAKT, YEKT to match.
The IANA timezone database has adopted abbreviations of the form AxST/AxDT
for all Australian time zones, reflecting what they believe to be current
majority practice Down Under. These names do not conflict with usage
elsewhere (other than ACST for Acre Summer Time, which has been in disuse
since 1994). Accordingly, adopt these names into our "Default" timezone
abbreviation set. The "Australia" abbreviation set now contains only
CST,EAST,EST,SAST,SAT,WST, all of which are thought to be mostly historical
usage. Note that SAST has also been changed to be South Africa Standard
Time in the "Default" abbreviation set.
Add zone abbreviations SRET (Asia/Srednekolymsk) and XJT (Asia/Urumqi),
and use WSST/WSDT for western Samoa.
Also a DST law change in the Turks & Caicos Islands (America/Grand_Turk),
and numerous corrections for historical time zone data.

This updates known_abbrevs.txt to be what it should have been already,
were my -P patch not broken; and updates some tznames/ entries that
missed getting any love in previous timezone data updates because zic
failed to flag the change of abbreviation.
The non-cosmetic updates:
* Remove references to "ADT" as "Arabia Daylight Time", an abbreviation
that's been out of use since 2007; therefore, claiming there is a conflict
with "Atlantic Daylight Time" doesn't seem especially helpful. (We have
left obsolete entries in the files when they didn't conflict with anything,
but that seems like a different situation.)
* Fix entirely incorrect GMT offsets for CKT (Cook Islands), FJT, FJST
(Fiji); we didn't even have them on the proper side of the date line.
(Seems to have been aboriginal errors in our tznames data; there's no
evidence anything actually changed recently.)
* FKST (Falkland Islands Summer Time) is now used all year round, so
don't mark it as a DST abbreviation.
* Update SAKT (Sakhalin) to mean GMT+11 not GMT+10.
In cosmetic changes, I fixed a bunch of wrong (or at least obsolete)
claims about abbreviations not being present in the zic files, and
tried to be consistent about how obsolete abbreviations are labeled.
Note the underlying timezone/data files are still at release 2014e;
this is just trying to get us in sync with what those files actually
say before we go to the next update.
|
|
The quick hack I added to zic to dump out currently-in-use timezone
abbreviations turns out to have a nasty bug: within each zone, it was
printing the last "struct ttinfo" to be *defined*, not necessarily the
last one in use. This was mainly a problem in zones that had changed the
meaning of their zone abbreviation (to another GMT offset value) and later
changed it back.
As a result of this error, we'd missed out updating the tznames/ files
for some jurisdictions that have changed their zone abbreviations since
the tznames/ files were originally created. I'll address the missing data
updates in a separate commit.

When there are cost-delay-related storage options set for a table,
trying to make that table participate in the autovacuum cost-limit
balancing algorithm produces undesirable results: instead of using the
configured values, the global values are always used,
as illustrated by Mark Kirkwood in
http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/52FACF15.8020507@catalyst.net.nz
Since the mechanism is already complicated, just disable it for those
cases rather than trying to make it cope. There are undesirable
side-effects from this too, namely that the total I/O impact on the
system will be higher whenever such tables are vacuumed. However, this
is seen as less harmful than slowing down vacuum, because that would
cause bloat to accumulate. Anyway, in the new system it is possible to
tweak options to get the precise behavior one wants, whereas with the
previous system one was simply hosed.
This has been broken forever, so backpatch to all supported branches.
This might affect systems where cost_limit and cost_delay have been set
for individual tables.

As of commit a87c72915 (which later got backpatched as far as 9.1),
we're explicitly supporting the notion that append relations can be
nested; this can occur when UNION ALL constructs are nested, or when
a UNION ALL contains a table with inheritance children.
Bug #11457 from Nelson Page, as well as an earlier report from Elvis
Pranskevichus, showed that there were still nasty bugs associated with such
cases: in particular the EquivalenceClass mechanism could try to generate
"join" clauses connecting an appendrel child to some grandparent appendrel,
which would result in assertion failures or bogus plans.
Upon investigation I concluded that all current callers of
find_childrel_appendrelinfo() need to be fixed to explicitly consider
multiple levels of parent appendrels. The most complex fix was in
processing of "broken" EquivalenceClasses, which are ECs for which we have
been unable to generate all the derived equality clauses we would like to
because of missing cross-type equality operators in the underlying btree
operator family. That code path is more or less entirely untested by
the regression tests to date, because no standard opfamilies have such
holes in them. So I wrote a new regression test script to try to exercise
it a bit, which turned out to be quite a worthwhile activity as it exposed
existing bugs in all supported branches.
The present patch is essentially the same as far back as 9.2, which is
where parameterized paths were introduced. In 9.0 and 9.1, we only need
to back-patch a small fragment of commit 5b7b5518d, which fixes failure to
propagate out the original WHERE clauses when a broken EC contains constant
members. (The regression test case results show that these older branches
are noticeably stupider than 9.2+ in terms of the quality of the plans
generated; but we don't really care about plan quality in such cases,
only that the plan not be outright wrong. A more invasive fix in the
older branches would not be a good idea anyway from a plan-stability
standpoint.)

Unfortunately I mistakenly split the commit wrongly into two parts,
leaving one part of renaming StreamLog to StreamLogicalLog in the
second commit. Which isn't backported to 9.4...
Fix it in 9.4 only, as master already is 'fixed' by the subsequent
commit.
Noticed by Jan Wieck and the buildfarm.

Several comments still referred to 'initiating', 'freeing', 'stopping'
replication slots. These were terms used during different phases of
the development of logical decoding, but are no long accurate.
Also rename StreamLog() to StreamLogicalLog() and add 'void' to the
prototype.

I left the GUC in place for the beta period, so that people could experiment
with different values. No-one's come up with any data that a different value
would be better under some circumstances, so rather than try to document to
users what the GUC, let's just hard-code the current value, 8.

DetermineSleepTime() was previously called without blocked
signals. That's not good, because it allows signal handlers to
interrupt its workings.
DetermineSleepTime() was added in 9.3 with the addition of background
workers (da07a1e856511), where it only read from
BackgroundWorkerList.
Since 9.4, where dynamic background workers were added (7f7485a0cde),
the list is also manipulated in DetermineSleepTime(). That's bad
because the list now can be persistently corrupted if modified by both
a signal handler and DetermineSleepTime().
This was discovered during the investigation of hangs on buildfarm
member anole. It's unclear whether this bug is the source of these
hangs or not, but it's worth fixing either way. I have confirmed that
it can cause crashes.
It luckily looks like this only can cause problems when bgworkers are
actively used.

As noted in http://bugs.debian.org/763098 there is a conflict between
postgres' definition of CACHE_LINE_SIZE and the definition by various
*bsd platforms. It's debatable who has the right to define such a
name, but postgres' use was only introduced in 375d8526f290 (9.4), so
it seems like a good idea to rename it.

The original design used an array of offsets into the variable-length
portion of a JSONB container. However, such an array is basically
uncompressible by simple compression techniques such as TOAST's LZ
compressor. That's bad enough, but because the offset array is at the
front, it tended to trigger the give-up-after-1KB heuristic in the TOAST
code, so that the entire JSONB object was stored uncompressed; which was
the root cause of bug #11109 from Larry White.
To fix without losing the ability to extract a random array element in O(1)
time, change this scheme so that most of the JEntry array elements hold
lengths rather than offsets. With data that's compressible at all, there
tend to be fewer distinct element lengths, so that there is scope for
compression of the JEntry array. Every N'th entry is still an offset.
To determine the length or offset of any specific element, we might have
to examine up to N preceding JEntrys, but that's still O(1) so far as the
total container size is concerned. Testing shows that this cost is
negligible compared to other costs of accessing a JSONB field, and that
the method does largely fix the incompressible-data problem.
While at it, rearrange the order of elements in a JSONB object so that
it's "all the keys, then all the values" not alternating keys and values.
This doesn't really make much difference right at the moment, but it will
allow providing a fast path for extracting individual object fields from
large JSONB values stored EXTERNAL (ie, uncompressed), analogously to the
existing optimization for substring extraction from large EXTERNAL text
values.
Bump catversion to denote the incompatibility in on-disk format.
We will need to fix pg_upgrade to disallow upgrading jsonb data stored
with 9.4 betas 1 and 2.

Without this fix, parallel restore of a schema-only dump can deadlock,

We removed a similar ban on this in json_object recently, but the ban in
datum_to_json was left, which generate4d sprutious errors in othee json
generators, notable json_build_object.
Along the way, add an assertion that datum_to_json is not passed a null
key. All current callers comply with this rule, but the assertion will
catch any possible future misbehaviour.

Some compilers don't automatically search the current directory for
included files. 9cc2c182fc2 fixed that for builds from tarballs by
adding an include to the source directory. But that doesn't work when
the scanner is generated in the VPATH directory. Use the same search
path as the other parsers in the tree.
One compiler that definitely was affected is solaris' sun cc.
Backpatch to 9.1 which introduced using an actual parser for
replication commands.

This function created new Vars with varno different from varnoold, which
is a condition that should never prevail before setrefs.c does the final
variable-renumbering pass. The created Vars could not be seen as equal()
to normal Vars, which among other things broke equivalence-class processing
for them. The consequences of this were indeed visible in the regression
tests, in the form of failure to propagate constants as one would expect.
I stumbled across it while poking at bug #11457 --- after intentionally
disabling join equivalence processing, the security-barrier regression
tests started falling over with fun errors like "could not find pathkey
item to sort", because of failure to match the corrupted Vars to normal
ones.

When the number of allowed iterations is limited (either a "?" quantifier
or a bound expression), the last sub-match has to reach to the end of the
target string. The previous coding here first tried the shortest possible
match (one character, usually) and then gave up and back-tracked if that
didn't work, typically leading to failure to match overall, as shown in
bug #11478 from Christoph Berg. The minimum change to fix that would be to
not decrement k before "goto backtrack"; but that would be a pretty stupid
solution, because we'd laboriously try each possible sub-match length
before finally discovering that only ending at the end can work. Instead,
force the sub-match endpoint limit up to the end for even the first
shortest() call if we cannot have any more sub-matches after this one.
Bug introduced in my rewrite that added the iterdissect logic, commit
173e29aa5deefd9e71c183583ba37805c8102a72. The shortest-first search code
was too closely modeled on the longest-first code, which hasn't got this
issue since it tries a match reaching to the end to start with anyway.
Back-patch to all affected branches.

x86's memory barrier assembly was marked as clobbering "memory" but
not "cc" even though 'addl' sets various flags. As it turns out gcc on
x86 implicitly assumes "cc" on every inline assembler statement, so
it's not a bug. But as that's poorly documented and might get copied
to architectures or compilers where that's not the case, it seems
better to be precise.

They were marked to return a boolean, but they actually return a
GinTernaryValue, which is more like a "char". It makes no practical
difference, as the triConsistent functions cannot be called directly from
SQL because they have "internal" arguments, but this nevertheless seems
more correct.
Also fix the GinTernaryValue name in the documentation. I renamed the enum
earlier, but neglected the docs.

In psql, expanded mode was not being displayed correctly when using
the normal ascii or unicode linestyles and border set to '3'. Now,
per the documentation, border '3' is really only sensible for HTML
and LaTeX formats, however, that's no excuse for ascii/unicode to
break in that case, and provisions had been made for psql to cleanly
handle this case (and it did, in non-expanded mode).
This was broken when ascii/unicode was initially added a good five
years ago because print_aligned_vertical_line wasn't passed in the
border setting being used by print_aligned_vertical but instead was
given the whole printTableContent. There really isn't a good reason
for vertical_line to have the entire printTableContent structure, so
just pass in the printTextFormat and border setting (similar to how
this is handled in horizontal_line).

The code that tried to split a page at 75/25 ratio, when appending to the
end of an index, was buggy in two ways. First, there was a silly typo that
caused it to just fill the left page as full as possible. But the logic as
it was intended wasn't correct either, and would actually have given a ratio
closer to 60/40 than 75/25.
Gaetano Mendola spotted the typo. Backpatch to 9.4, where this code was added.

The code for raising a NUMERIC value to an integer power wasn't very
careful about large powers. It got an outright wrong answer for an
exponent of INT_MIN, due to failure to consider overflow of the Abs(exp)
operation; which is fixable by using an unsigned rather than signed
exponent value after that point. Also, even though the number of
iterations of the power-computation loop is pretty limited, it's easy for
the repeated squarings to result in ridiculously enormous intermediate
values, which can take unreasonable amounts of time/memory to process,
or even overflow the internal "weight" field and so produce a wrong answer.
We can forestall misbehaviors of that sort by bailing out as soon as the
weight value exceeds what will fit in int16, since then the final answer
must overflow (if exp > 0) or underflow (if exp < 0) the packed numeric
format.
Per off-list report from Pavel Stehule. Back-patch to all supported

The code I added in commit f343a880d5555faf1dad0286c5632047c8f599ad was
careless about preserving AND/OR flatness: it could create a structure with
an OR node directly underneath another one. That breaks an assumption
that's fairly important for planning efficiency, not to mention triggering
various Asserts (as reported by Benjamin Smith). Add a trifle more logic
to handle the case properly.

Some Sparc CPUs can be run in various coherence models, ranging from
RMO (relaxed) over PSO (partial) to TSO (total). Solaris has always
run CPUs in TSO mode while in userland, but linux didn't use to and
the various *BSDs still don't. Unfortunately the sparc TAS/S_UNLOCK
were only correct under TSO. Fix that by adding the necessary memory
barrier instructions. On sparcv8+, which should be all relevant CPUs,
these are treated as NOPs if the current consistency model doesn't
require the barriers.

Now that ALTER TABLE .. ALL IN TABLESPACE has replaced the previous
ALTER TABLESPACE approach, it makes sense to move the calls down in
to ProcessUtilitySlow where the rest of ALTER TABLE is handled.

good qualities also).

psql's \s (print command history) doesn't work at all with recent libedit
versions when printing to the terminal, because libedit tries to do an
fchmod() on the target file which will fail if the target is /dev/tty.
(We'd already noted this in the context of the target being /dev/null.)
Even before that, it didn't work pleasantly, because libedit likes to
encode the command history file (to ensure successful reloading), which
renders it nigh unreadable, not to mention significantly different-looking
depending on exactly which libedit version you have. So let's forget using
write_history() for this purpose, and instead print the data ourselves,
using logic similar to that used to iterate over the history for newline
encoding/decoding purposes.
While we're at it, insert the ability to use the pager when \s is printing
to the terminal. This has been an acknowledged shortcoming of \s for many
years, so while you could argue it's not exactly a back-patchable bug fix
it still seems like a good improvement. Anyone who's seriously annoyed
at this can use "\s /dev/tty" or local equivalent to get the old behavior.
Experimentation with this showed that the history iteration logic was
actually rather broken when used with libedit. It turns out that with
libedit you have to use previous_history() not next_history() to advance
to more recent history entries. The easiest and most robust fix for this
seems to be to make a run-time test to verify which function to call.
We had not noticed this because libedit doesn't really need the newline
encoding logic: its own encoding ensures that command entries containing
newlines are reloaded correctly (unlike libreadline). So the effective
behavior with recent libedits was that only the oldest history entry got
newline-encoded or newline-decoded. However, because of yet other bugs in
history_set_pos(), some old versions of libedit allowed the existing loop
logic to reach entries besides the oldest, which means there may be libedit
~/.psql_history files out there containing encoded newlines in more than
just the oldest entry. To ensure we can reload such files, it seems
appropriate to back-patch this fix, even though that will result in some
incompatibility with older psql versions (ie, multiline history entries
written by a psql with this fix will look corrupted to a psql without it,
if its libedit is reasonably up to date).
