2015-10-16Fix O(N^2) performance problems in regular-expression compiler.Tom Lane
Change the singly-linked in-arc and out-arc lists to be doubly-linked, so that arc deletion is constant time rather than having worst-case time proportional to the number of other arcs on the connected states. Modify the bulk arc transfer operations copyins(), copyouts(), moveins(), moveouts() so that they use a sort-and-merge algorithm whenever there's more than a small number of arcs to be copied or moved. The previous method is O(N^2) in the number of arcs involved, because it performs duplicate checking independently for each copied arc. The new method may change the ordering of existing arcs for the destination state, but nothing really cares about that. Provide another bulk arc copying method mergeins(), which is unused as of this commit but is needed for the next one. It basically is like copyins(), but the source arcs might not all come from the same state. Replace the O(N^2) bubble-sort algorithm used in carcsort() with a qsort() call. These changes greatly improve the performance of regex compilation for large or complex regexes, at the cost of extra space for arc storage during compilation. The original tradeoff was probably fine when it was made, but now we care more about speed and less about memory consumption. Back-patch to all supported branches.
2015-10-16Fix regular-expression compiler to handle loops of constraint arcs.Tom Lane
It's possible to construct regular expressions that contain loops of constraint arcs (that is, ^ $ AHEAD BEHIND or LACON arcs). There's no use in fully traversing such a loop at execution, since you'd just end up in the same NFA state without having consumed any input. Worse, such a loop leads to infinite looping in the pullback/pushfwd stage of compilation, because we keep pushing or pulling the same constraints around the loop in a vain attempt to move them to the pre or post state. Such looping was previously recognized in CVE-2007-4772; but the fix only handled the case of trivial single-state loops (that is, a constraint arc leading back to its source state) ... and not only that, it was incorrect even for that case, because it broke the admittedly-not-very-clearly-stated API contract of the pull() and push() subroutines. The first two regression test cases added by this commit exhibit patterns that result in assertion failures because of that (though there seem to be no ill effects in non-assert builds). The other new test cases exhibit multi-state constraint loops; in an unpatched build they will run until the NFA state-count limit is exceeded. To fix, remove the code added for CVE-2007-4772, and instead create a general-purpose constraint-loop-breaking phase of regex compilation that executes before we do pullback/pushfwd. Since we never need to traverse a constraint loop fully, we can just break the loop at any chosen spot, if we add clone states that can replicate any sequence of arc transitions that would've traversed just part of the loop. Also add some commentary clarifying why we have to have all these machinations in the first place. This class of problems has been known for some time --- we had a report from Marc Mamin about two years ago, for example, and there are related complaints in the Tcl bug tracker. I had discussed a fix of this kind off-list with Henry Spencer, but didn't get around to doing something about it until the issue was rediscovered by Greg Stark recently. Back-patch to all supported branches.
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
2015-10-06Perform 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.

2015-10-05Prevent 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
2015-10-05Re-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
2015-10-04Further 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 possible "invalid memory alloc request size" failure in nodeHash.c.Tom Lane
Limit the size of the hashtable pointer array to not more than MaxAllocSize. We've seen reports of failures due to this in HEAD/9.5, and it seems possible in older branches as well. The change in NTUP_PER_BUCKET in 9.5 may have made the problem more likely, but surely it didn't introduce it. Tomas Vondra, slightly modified by me

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.

2015-09-30Improve 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
2015-09-29Fix 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.

2015-09-25Further 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.
2015-09-24Lower *_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. While at it fix autovacuum_multixact_freeze_max_age to refer to multixact.c instead of varsup.c.

2015-09-21Fix possible internal overflow in numeric multiplication.Tom Lane
mul_var() postpones propagating carries until it risks overflow in its internal digit array. However, the logic failed to account for the possibility of overflow in the carry propagation step, allowing wrong results to be generated in corner cases. We must slightly reduce the when-to-propagate-carries threshold to avoid that. Discovered and fixed by Dean Rasheed, with small adjustments by me.

2015-09-18Fix low-probability memory leak in regex execution.Tom Lane
After an internal failure in shortest() or longest() while pinning down the exact location of a match, find() forgot to free the DFA structure before returning. This is pretty unlikely to occur, since we just successfully ran the "search" variant of the DFA; but it could happen, and it would result in a session-lifespan memory leak since this code uses malloc() directly. Problem seems to have been aboriginal in Spencer's library, so back-patch all the way. In passing, correct a thinko in a comment I added awhile back about the meaning of the "ntree" field. I happened across these issues while comparing our code to Tcl's version of the library.

2015-09-09Remove files signaling a standby promotion request at postmaster startupFujii Masao
This commit makes postmaster forcibly remove the files signaling a standby promotion request. Otherwise, the existence of those files can trigger a promotion too early, whether a user wants that or not. This removal of files is usually unnecessary because they can exist only during a few moments during a standby promotion. However there is a race condition: if pg_ctl promote is executed and creates the files during a promotion, the files can stay around even after the server is brought up to new master. Then, if new standby starts by using the backup taken from that master, the files can exist at the server startup and should be removed in order to avoid an unexpected promotion. Back-patch to 9.1 where promote signal file was introduced. Problem reported by Feike Steenbergen. Original patch by Michael Paquier, modified by me.

2015-09-04Fix subtransaction cleanup after an outer-subtransaction portal fails.Tom Lane
Formerly, we treated only portals created in the current subtransaction as having failed during subtransaction abort. However, if the error occurred while running a portal created in an outer subtransaction (ie, a cursor declared before the last savepoint), that has to be considered broken too. To allow reliable detection of which ones those are, add a bookkeeping field to struct Portal that tracks the innermost subtransaction in which each portal has actually been executed. (Without this, we'd end up failing portals containing functions that had called the subtransaction, thereby breaking plpgsql exception blocks completely.) In addition, when we fail an outer-subtransaction Portal, transfer its resources into the subtransaction's resource owner, so that they're released early in cleanup of the subxact. This fixes a problem reported by Jim Nasby in which a function executed in an outer-subtransaction cursor could cause an Assert failure or crash by referencing a relation created within the inner subtransaction. The proximate cause of the Assert failure is that AtEOSubXact_RelationCache assumed it could blow away a relcache entry without first checking that the entry had zero refcount. That was a bad idea on its own terms, so add such a check there, and to the similar coding in AtEOXact_RelationCache. This provides an independent safety measure in case there are still ways to provoke the situation despite the Portal-level changes. This has been broken since subtransactions were invented, so back-patch to all supported branches. Tom Lane and Michael Paquier
2015-08-29Fix s_lock.h PPC assembly code to be compatible with native AIX assembler.Tom Lane
On recent AIX it's necessary to configure gcc to use the native assembler (because the GNU assembler hasn't been updated to handle AIX 6+). This caused PG builds to fail with assembler syntax errors, because we'd try to compile s_lock.h's gcc asm fragment for PPC, and that assembly code relied on GNU-style local labels. We can't substitute normal labels because it would fail in any file containing more than one inlined use of tas(). Fortunately, that code is stable enough, and the PPC ISA is simple enough, that it doesn't seem like too much of a maintenance burden to just hand-code the branch offsets, removing the need for any labels. Note that the AIX assembler only accepts "$" for the location counter pseudo-symbol. The usual GNU convention is "."; but it appears that all versions of gas for PPC also accept "$", so in theory this patch will not break any other PPC platforms. This has been reported by a few people, but Steve Underwood gets the credit for being the first to pursue the problem far enough to understand why it was failing. Thanks also to Noah Misch for additional testing.

I back-patched into 9.2 and 9.1, but not 9.0 as it would have required a significant amount of refactoring, thus negating the argument that this is by-now-well-tested code.

2015-08-21Avoid O(N^2) behavior when enlarging SPI tuple table in spi_printtup().Tom Lane
For no obvious reason, spi_printtup() was coded to enlarge the tuple pointer table by just 256 slots at a time, rather than doubling the size at each reallocation, as is our usual habit. For very large SPI results, this makes for O(N^2) time spent in repalloc(), which of course soon comes to dominate the runtime. Use the standard doubling approach instead. This is a longstanding performance bug, so back-patch to all active branches. Neil Conway
2015-08-21Fix plpython crash when returning string representation of a RECORD result.Tom Lane
PLyString_ToComposite() blithely overwrote proc->result.out.d, even though for a composite result type the other union variant proc->result.out.r is the one that should be valid. This could result in a crash if out.r had in fact been filled in (proc->result.is_rowtype == 1) and then somebody later attempted to use that data; as per bug #13579 from Paweł Michalak. Just to add insult to injury, it didn't work for RECORD results anyway, because record_in() would refuse the case. Fix by doing the I/O function lookup in a local PLyTypeInfo variable, as we were doing already in PLyObject_ToComposite(). This is not a great technique because any fn_extra data allocated by the input function will be leaked permanently (thanks to using TopMemoryContext as fn_mcxt). But that's a pre-existing issue that is much less serious than a crash, so leave it to be fixed separately. This bug would be a potential security issue, except that plpython is only available to superusers and the crash requires coding the function in a way that didn't work before today's patches. Add regression test cases covering all the supported methods of converting composite results. Back-patch to 9.1 where the faulty coding was introduced.
2015-08-21Allow record_in() and record_recv() to work for transient record types.Tom Lane
If we have the typmod that identifies a registered record type, there's no reason that record_in() should refuse to perform input conversion for it. Now, in direct SQL usage, record_in() will always be passed typmod = -1 with type OID RECORDOID, because no typmodin exists for type RECORD, so the case can't arise. However, some InputFunctionCall users such as PLs may be able to supply the right typmod, so we should allow this to support them. Note: the previous coding and comment here predate commit 59c016aa9f490b53. There has been no case since 8.1 in which the passed type OID wouldn't be valid; and if it weren't, this error message wouldn't be apropos anyway. Better to let lookup_rowtype_tupdesc complain about it. Back-patch to 9.1, as this is necessary for my upcoming plpython fix. I'm committing it separately just to make it a bit more visible in the commit history.
2015-08-18Fix a few bogus statement type names in plpgsql error messages.Tom Lane
plpgsql's error location context messages ("PL/pgSQL function fn-name line line-no at stmt-type") would misreport a CONTINUE statement as being an EXIT, and misreport a MOVE statement as being a FETCH. These are clear bugs that have been there a long time, so back-patch to all supported branches. In addition, in 9.5 and HEAD, change the description of EXECUTE from "EXECUTE statement" to just plain EXECUTE; there seems no good reason why this statement type should be described differently from others that have a well-defined head keyword. And distinguish GET STACKED DIAGNOSTICS from plain GET DIAGNOSTICS. These are a bit more of a judgment call, and also affect existing regression-test outputs, so I did not back-patch into stable branches. Pavel Stehule and Tom Lane
