2013-07-23Change post-rewriter representation of dropped columns in joinaliasvars.Tom Lane
It's possible to drop a column from an input table of a JOIN clause in a view, if that column is nowhere actually referenced in the view. But it will still be there in the JOIN clause's joinaliasvars list. We used to replace such entries with NULL Const nodes, which is handy for generation of RowExpr expansion of a whole-row reference to the view. The trouble with that is that it can't be distinguished from the situation after subquery pull-up of a constant subquery output expression below the JOIN. Instead, replace such joinaliasvars with null pointers (empty expression trees), which can't be confused with pulled-up expressions. expandRTE() still emits the old convention, though, for convenience of RowExpr generation and to reduce the risk of breaking extension code. In HEAD and 9.3, this patch also fixes a problem with some new code in ruleutils.c that was failing to cope with implicitly-casted joinaliasvars entries, as per recent report from Feike Steenbergen. That oversight was because of an inadequate description of the data structure in parsenodes.h, which I've now corrected. There were some pre-existing oversights of the same ilk elsewhere, which I believe are now all fixed.
2013-07-23Tweak FOR UPDATE/SHARE error message wording (again)Alvaro Herrera
In commit 0ac5ad5134 I changed some error messages from "FOR UPDATE/SHARE" to a rather long gobbledygook which nobody liked. Then, in commit cb9b66d31 I changed them again, but the alternative chosen there was deemed suboptimal by Peter Eisentraut, who in message 1373937980.20441.8.camel@vanquo.pezone.net proposed an alternative involving a dynamically-constructed string based on the actual locking strength specified in the SQL command. This patch implements that suggestion.
2013-07-23Use InvalidSnapshot, now SnapshotNow, as the default snapshot.Robert Haas
As far as I can determine, there's no code in the core distribution that fails to explicitly set the snapshot of a scan or executor state. If there is any such code, this will probably cause it to seg fault; friendlier suggestions were discussed on pgsql-hackers, but there was no consensus that anything more than this was needed. This is another step towards the hoped-for complete removal of SnapshotNow.

2013-07-22Remove bgw_sighup and bgw_sigterm.Robert Haas
Per discussion on pgsql-hackers, these aren't really needed. Interim versions of the background worker patch had the worker starting with signals already unblocked, which would have made this necessary. But the final version does not, so we don't really need it; and it doesn't work well with the new facility for starting dynamic background workers, so just rip it out. Also per discussion on pgsql-hackers, back-patch this change to 9.3. It's best to get the API break out of the way before we do an official release of this facility, to avoid more pain for extension authors later.
2013-07-22Adjust HeapTupleSatisfies* routines to take a HeapTuple.Robert Haas
Previously, these functions took a HeapTupleHeader, but upcoming patches for logical replication will introduce new a new snapshot type under which the tuple's TID will be used to lookup (CMIN, CMAX) for visibility determination purposes. This makes that information available. Code churn is minimal since HeapTupleSatisfiesVisibility took the HeapTuple anyway, and deferenced it before calling the satisfies function. Independently of logical replication, this allows t_tableOid and t_self to be cross-checked via assertions in tqual.c. This seems like a useful way to make sure that all callers are setting these values properly, which has been previously put forward as desirable. Andres Freund, reviewed by Álvaro Herrera
2013-07-22Silence compiler warning on an unused variableAlvaro Herrera
Also, tweak wording in comments (per Andres) and documentation (myself) to point out that it's the database's default tablespace that can be passed as 0, not DEFAULTTABLESPACE_OID. Robert Haas noticed the bug in the code, but didn't update the accompanying prose.
2013-07-22Add infrastructure for mapping relfilenodes to relation OIDs.Robert Haas
Future patches are expected to introduce logical replication that works by decoding WAL. WAL contains relfilenodes rather than relation OIDs, so this infrastructure will be needed to find the relation OID based on WAL contents. If logical replication does not make it into this release, we probably should consider reverting this, since it will add some overhead to DDL operations that create new relations. One additional index insert per pg_class row is not a large overhead, but it's more than zero. Another way of meeting the needs of logical replication would be to the relation OID to WAL, but that would burden DML operations, not only DDL. Andres Freund, with some changes by me. Design review, in earlier versions, by Álvaro Herrera.
2013-07-20Fix error handling in PLy_spi_execute_fetch_result().Tom Lane
If an error is thrown out of the datatype I/O functions called by this function, we need to do subtransaction cleanup, which the previous coding entirely failed to do. Fortunately, both existing callers of this function already have proper cleanup logic, so re-throwing the exception is enough. Also, postpone creation of the resultset tupdesc until after the I/O conversions are complete, so that we won't leak memory in TopMemoryContext when such an error happens.
2013-07-20Clean up new JSON API typedefsPeter Eisentraut
The new JSON API uses a bit of an unusual typedef scheme, where for example OkeysState is a pointer to okeysState. And that's not applied consistently either. Change that to the more usual PostgreSQL style where struct typedefs are upper case, and use pointers explicitly.
2013-07-19Fix HeapTupleSatisfiesVacuum on aborted updater xactsAlvaro Herrera
By using only the macro that checks infomask bits HEAP_XMAX_IS_LOCKED_ONLY to verify whether a multixact is not an updater, and not the full HeapTupleHeaderIsOnlyLocked, it would come to the wrong result in case of a multixact containing an aborted update; therefore returning the wrong result code. This would cause predicate.c to break completely (as in bug report #8273 from David Leverton), and certain index builds would misbehave. As far as I can tell, other callers of the bogus routine would make harmless mistakes or not be affected by the difference at all; so this was a pretty narrow case. Also, no other user of the HEAP_XMAX_IS_LOCKED_ONLY macro is as careless; they all check specifically for the HEAP_XMAX_IS_MULTI case, and they all verify whether the updater is InvalidXid before concluding that it's a valid updater. So there doesn't seem to be any similar bug.
2013-07-19Initialize day of year value.Michael Meskes
There are cases where the day of year value in struct tm is used, but it never got calculated. Problem found by Coverity scan.
2013-07-18Add checks for valid multibyte character length in UtfToLocal, LocalToUtf.Tom Lane
This is mainly to suppress "uninitialized variable" warnings from very recent versions of gcc. But it seems like a good robustness thing anyway, not to mention that we might someday decide to support 6-byte UTF8. Per report from Karol Trzcionka. No back-patch since there's no reason at the moment to think this is more than cosmetic.
2013-07-18Fix regex match failures for backrefs combined with non-greedy quantifiers.Tom Lane
An ancient logic error in cfindloop() could cause the regex engine to fail to find matches that begin later than the start of the string. This function is only used when the regex pattern contains a back reference, and so far as we can tell the error is only reachable if the pattern is non-greedy (i.e. its first quantifier uses the ? modifier). Furthermore, the actual match must begin after some potential match that satisfies the DFA but then fails the back-reference's match test. Reported and fixed by Jeevan Chalke, with cosmetic adjustments by me.
2013-07-18WITH CHECK OPTION support for auto-updatable VIEWsStephen Frost
For simple views which are automatically updatable, this patch allows the user to specify what level of checking should be done on records being inserted or updated. For 'LOCAL CHECK', new tuples are validated against the conditionals of the view they are being inserted into, while for 'CASCADED CHECK' the new tuples are validated against the conditionals for all views involved (from the top down). This option is part of the SQL specification. Dean Rasheed, reviewed by Pavel Stehule
2013-07-18Move checking an explicit VARIADIC "any" argument into the parser.Andrew Dunstan
This is more efficient and simpler . It does mean that an untyped NULL can no longer be used in such cases, which should be mentioned in Release Notes, but doesn't seem a terrible loss. The workaround is to cast the NULL to some array type. Pavel Stehule, reviewed by Jeevan Chalke.
2013-07-18Fix direct access to Relation->rd_indpred.Tom Lane
Should use RelationGetIndexPredicate(), since rd_indpred is just a cache that is not computed until/unless demanded. Per buildfarm failure on CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS animals; diagnosis and fix by Hitoshi Harada.
2013-07-17Fix a few problems in barrier.h.Tom Lane
On HPPA, implement pg_memory_barrier() as pg_compiler_barrier(), which should be correct since this arch doesn't do memory access reordering, and is anyway better than the completely-nonfunctional-on-this-arch dummy_spinlock code. (But note this patch only fixes things for gcc, not for builds with HP's compiler.) Also, fix incorrect default definition of pg_memory_barrier as a macro requiring an argument. Also, fix incorrect spelling of "#elif" as "#else if" in icc code path (spotted by pgindent). This doesn't come close to fixing all of the functional and stylistic deficiencies in barrier.h, but at least it un-breaks my personal build. Now that we're actually using barriers in the code, this file is going to need some serious attention.

2013-07-17Fix assert failure at end of recovery, broken by XLogInsert scaling patch.Heikki Linnakangas
Initialization of the first XLOG buffer at end-of-recovery was broken for the case that the last read WAL record ended at a page boundary. Instead of trying to copy the last full xlog page to the buffer cache in that case, just set shared state so that the next page is initialized when the first WAL record after startup is inserted. (that's what we did in earlier version, too) To make the shared state required for that case less surprising, replace the XLogCtl->curridx variable, which was the index of the latest initialized buffer, with an XLogRecPtr of how far the buffers have been initialized. That also allows us to get rid of the XLogRecEndPtrToBufIdx macro. While we're at it, make a similar change for XLogCtl->Write.curridx, getting rid of that variable and calculating the next buffer to write from XLogCtl->LogwrtResult instead.
2013-07-17Fix end-of-loop optimization in pglz_find_match() function.Heikki Linnakangas
After the recent pglz optimization patch, the next/prev pointers in the hash table are never NULL, INVALID_ENTRY_PTR is used to represent invalid entries instead. The end-of-loop check in pglz_find_match() function didn't get the memo. The result was the same from a correctness point of view, but because the NULL-check would never fail, the tiny optimization turned into a pessimization. Reported by Stephen Frost, using Coverity scanner.
2013-07-16Fix systable_recheck_tuple() for MVCC scan snapshots.Noah Misch
Since this function assumed non-MVCC snapshots, it broke when commit 568d4138c646cd7cd8a837ac244ef2caf27c6bb8 switched its one caller from SnapshotNow scans to MVCC-snapshot scans. Reviewed by Robert Haas, Tom Lane and Andres Freund.

2013-07-16Add support for REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW CONCURRENTLY.Kevin Grittner
This allows reads to continue without any blocking while a REFRESH runs. The new data appears atomically as part of transaction commit. Review questioned the Assert that a matview was not a system relation. This will be addressed separately. Reviewed by Hitoshi Harada, Robert Haas, Andres Freund. Merged after review with security patch f3ab5d4.
2013-07-16Allow background workers to be started dynamically.Robert Haas
There is a new API, RegisterDynamicBackgroundWorker, which allows an ordinary user backend to register a new background writer during normal running. This means that it's no longer necessary for all background workers to be registered during processing of shared_preload_libraries, although the option of registering workers at that time remains available. When a background worker exits and will not be restarted, the slot previously used by that background worker is automatically released and becomes available for reuse. Slots used by background workers that are configured for automatic restart can't (yet) be released without shutting down the system. This commit adds a new source file, bgworker.c, and moves some of the existing control logic for background workers there. Previously, there was little enough logic that it made sense to keep everything in postmaster.c, but not any more. This commit also makes the worker_spi contrib module into an extension and adds a new function, worker_spi_launch, which can be used to demonstrate the new facility.

The returned error message already includes a newline, but the callers were adding their own when printing it out.
2013-07-15Check get_tle_by_resno() result before derefStephen Frost
When creating a sort to support a group by, we need to look up the target entry in the target list by the resno using get_tle_by_resno(). This particular code-path didn't check the result prior to attempting to dereference it, while all other callers did. While I can't see a way for this usage of get_tle_by_resno() to fail (you can't ask for a column to be sorted on which isn't included in the group by), it's probably best to check that we didn't end up with a NULL somehow anyway than risk the segfault. I'm willing to back-patch this if others feel it's necessary, but my guess is new features are what might tickle this rather than anything existing. Missing check spotted by the Coverity scanner.

2013-07-15Correct off-by-one when reading from pipeStephen Frost
In pg_basebackup.c:reached_end_position(), we're reading from an internal pipe with our own background process but we're possibly reading more bytes than will actually fit into our buffer due to an off-by-one error. As we're reading from an internal pipe there's no real risk here, but it's good form to not depend on such convenient arrangements. Bug spotted by the Coverity scanner. Back-patch to 9.2 where this showed up.
2013-07-14Check version before allocating PQExpBufferStephen Frost
In pg_dump.c:getEventTriggers, check what major version we are on before calling createPQExpBuffer() to avoid leaking that bit of memory. Leak discovered by the Coverity scanner. Back-patch to 9.3 where support for dumping event triggers was added.
2013-07-14Fix resource leak in initdb -X optionStephen Frost
When creating the symlink for the xlog directory, free the string which stores the link location. Not really an issue but it doesn't hurt to be good about this- prior cleanups have fixed similar issues. Leak found by the Coverity scanner. Not back-patching as I don't see it being worth the code churn.
2013-07-14Be sure to close() file descriptor on error caseStephen Frost
In receivelog.c:writeTimeLineHistoryFile(), we were not properly closing the open'd file descriptor in error cases. While this wouldn't matter much if we were about to exit due to such an error, that's not the case with pg_receivexlog as it can be a long-running process and these errors are non-fatal. This resource leak was found by the Coverity scanner. Back-patch to 9.3 where this issue first appeared.
2013-07-14Ensure 64bit arithmetic when calculating tapeSpaceStephen Frost
In tuplesort.c:inittapes(), we calculate tapeSpace by first figuring out how many 'tapes' we can use (maxTapes) and then multiplying the result by the tape buffer overhead for each. Unfortunately, when we are on a system with an 8-byte long, we allow work_mem to be larger than 2GB and that allows maxTapes to be large enough that the 32bit arithmetic can overflow when multiplied against the buffer overhead. When this overflow happens, we end up adding the overflow to the amount of space available, causing the amount of memory allocated to be larger than work_mem. Note that to reach this point, you have to set work mem to at least 24GB and be sorting a set which is at least that size. Given that a user who can set work_mem to 24GB could also set it even higher, if they were looking to run the system out of memory, this isn't considered a security issue. This overflow risk was found by the Coverity scanner. Back-patch to all supported branches, as this issue has existed since before 8.4.
2013-07-14pg_isready: Message improvementPeter Eisentraut
2013-07-14pg_receivexlog - Exit on failure to parseStephen Frost
In streamutil.c:GetConnection(), upgrade failure to parse the connection string to an exit(1) instead of simply returning NULL. Most callers already immediately exited, but pg_receivexlog would loop on this case, continually trying to re-parse the connection string (which can't be changed after pg_receivexlog has started). GetConnection() was already expected to exit(1) in some cases (eg: failure to allocate memory or if unable to determine the integer_datetimes flag), so this change shouldn't surprise anyone. Began looking at this due to the Coverity scanner complaining that we were leaking err_msg in this case- no longer an issue since we just exit(1) immediately.
2013-07-14During parallel pg_dump, free commands from masterStephen Frost
The command strings read by the child processes during parallel pg_dump, after being read and handled, were not being free'd. This patch corrects this relatively minor memory leak. Leak found by the Coverity scanner. Back patch to 9.3 where parallel pg_dump was introduced.
2013-07-12Add session_preload_libraries configuration parameterPeter Eisentraut
This is like shared_preload_libraries except that it takes effect at backend start and can be changed without a full postmaster restart. It is like local_preload_libraries except that it is still only settable by a superuser. This can be a better way to load modules such as auto_explain. Since there are now three preload parameters, regroup the documentation a bit. Put all parameters into one section, explain common functionality only once, update the descriptions to reflect current and future realities. Reviewed-by: Dimitri Fontaine <dimitri@2ndQuadrant.fr>
2013-07-12Switch user ID to the object owner when populating a materialized view.Noah Misch
This makes superuser-issued REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW safe regardless of the object's provenance. REINDEX is an earlier example of this pattern. As a downside, functions called from materialized views must tolerate running in a security-restricted operation. CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW need not change user ID. Nonetheless, avoid creation of materialized views that will invariably fail REFRESH by making it, too, start a security-restricted operation. Back-patch to 9.3 so materialized views have this from the beginning. Reviewed by Kevin Grittner.
