2024-04-07Don't clobber test exit code at cleanup in LDAP/Kerberors testsHeikki Linnakangas
If the test script die()d before running the first test, the whole test was interpreted as SKIPped rather than failed. The PostgreSQL::Cluster module got this right. Backpatch to all supported versions. Discussion: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/fb898a70-3a88-4629-88e9-f2375020061d@iki.fi
2024-04-07Improve check in LDAP test to find the OpenLDAP installationHeikki Linnakangas
If the OpenLDAP installation directory is not found, set $setup to 0 so that the LDAP tests are skipped. The macOS checks were already doing that, but the checks on other OS's were not. While we're at it, improve the error message when the tests are skipped, to specify whether the OS is supported at all, or if we just didn't find the installation directory. This was accidentally "working" without this, i.e. we were skipping the tests if the OpenLDAP installation was not found, because of a bug in the LdapServer test module: the END block clobbered the exit code so if the script die()s before running the first subtest, the whole test script was marked as SKIPped. The next commit will fix that bug, but we need to fix the setup code first. These checks should probably go into configure/meson, but this is better than nothing and allows fixing the bug in the END block. Backpatch to all supported versions.

2024-04-04Fix ecpg's mechanism for detecting unsupported cases in the grammar.Tom Lane
ecpg wants to emit a warning if it parses a SQL construct that the backend can parse but will immediately throw a FEATURE_NOT_SUPPORTED error for. The way it was testing for this was to see if the string ERRCODE_FEATURE_NOT_SUPPORTED appeared anywhere in the gram.y code. This is, of course, not nearly good enough, as there are plenty of rules in gram.y that throw that error only conditionally. There was a hack dating to 2008 to suppress the warning in one rule that doesn't even exist anymore, but nothing for other cases we've created since then. End result was that you could get "unsupported feature will be passed to server" warnings while compiling perfectly good SQL code in ecpg. Somehow we'd not heard complaints about this, but it was exposed by the recent addition of an ecpg test for a SQL/JSON construct. To fix, suppress the warning if the rule contains any "if" statement. Manual comparison of gram.y with the generated preproc.y file shows that the warning is now emitted only in rules where it's sensible. This problem has existed for a long time, so back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/603615.1712245382@sss.pgh.pa.us

2024-04-02Avoid deadlock during orphan temp table removal.Tom Lane
If temp tables have dependencies (such as sequences) then it's possible for autovacuum's cleanup of orphan temp tables to deadlock against an incoming backend that's trying to clean out the temp namespace for its own use. That can happen because RemoveTempRelations' performDeletion call can visit objects within the namespace in an order different from the order in which a per-table deletion will visit them. To fix, observe that performDeletion will begin by taking an exclusive lock on the temp namespace (even though it won't actually delete it). So, if we can get a shared lock on the namespace, we can be sure we're not running concurrently with RemoveTempRelations, while also not conflicting with ordinary use of the namespace. This requires introducing a conditional version of LockDatabaseObject, but that's no big deal. (It's surprising we've got along without that this long.) Report and patch by Mikhail Zhilin.

2024-04-01Avoid possible longjmp-induced logic error in PLy_trigger_build_args.Tom Lane
The "pltargs" variable wasn't marked volatile, which makes it unsafe to change its value within the PG_TRY block. It looks like the worst outcome would be to fail to release a refcount on Py_None during an (improbable) error exit, which would likely go unnoticed in the field. Still, it's a bug. A one-liner fix could be to mark pltargs volatile, but on the whole it seems cleaner to arrange things so that we don't change its value within PG_TRY. Per report from Xing Guo.

2024-03-27Fix unnecessary use of moving-aggregate mode with non-moving frame.Tom Lane
When a plain aggregate is used as a window function, and the window frame start is specified as UNBOUNDED PRECEDING, the frame's head cannot move so we do not need to use moving-aggregate mode. The check for that was put into initialize_peragg(), failing to notice that ExecInitWindowAgg() calls that function before it's filled in winstate->frameOptions. Since makeNode() would have zeroed the field, this didn't provoke uninitialized-value complaints, nor would the erroneous decision have resulted in more than a little inefficiency. Still, it's wrong, so move the initialization of winstate->frameOptions earlier to make it work properly. While here, also fix a thinko in a comment. Both errors crept in in commit a9d9acbf2 which introduced the moving-aggregate mode. Spotted by Vallimaharajan G. Back-patch to all supported branches.

2024-03-26Fix failure of ALTER FOREIGN TABLE SET SCHEMA to move sequences.Tom Lane
Ordinary ALTER TABLE SET SCHEMA will also move any owned sequences into the new schema. We failed to do likewise for foreign tables, because AlterTableNamespaceInternal believed that only certain relkinds could have indexes, owned sequences, or constraints. We could simply add foreign tables to that relkind list, but it seems likely that the same oversight could be made again in future. Instead let's remove the relkind filter altogether. These functions shouldn't cost much when there are no objects that they need to process, and surely this isn't an especially performance-critical case anyway. Per bug #18407 from Vidushi Gupta.

2024-03-26Allow "make check"-style testing to work with musl C library.Tom Lane
The musl dynamic linker saves a pointer to the process' environment value of LD_LIBRARY_PATH very early in startup. When we move/clobber the environment to make more room for ps status strings, we clobber that value and thereby prevent libraries from being found via LD_LIBRARY_PATH, which breaks the use of a temporary installation for testing purposes. To fix, stop collecting usable space for ps status if we notice that the variable we are about to clobber is LD_LIBRARY_PATH. This will result in some reduction in how long the ps status can be, but it's only likely to occur in temporary test contexts, so it doesn't seem like a big problem. In any case, we don't have to do it if we see we are on glibc, which surely is where the majority of our Linux testing is done.

2024-03-17Fix EXPLAIN output for subplans in MERGE.Dean Rasheed
Given a subplan in a MERGE query, EXPLAIN would sometimes fail to properly display expressions involving Params referencing variables in other parts of the plan tree. This would affect subplans outside the topmost join plan node, for which expansion of Params would go via the top-level ModifyTable plan node. The problem was that "inner_tlist" for the ModifyTable node's deparse_namespace was set to the join node's targetlist, but "inner_plan" was set to the ModifyTable node itself, rather than the join node, leading to incorrect results when descending to the referenced variable.

2024-03-14Make INSERT-from-multiple-VALUES-rows handle domain target columns.Tom Lane
Commit a3c7a993d fixed some cases involving target columns that are arrays or composites by applying transformAssignedExpr to the VALUES entries, and then stripping off any assignment ArrayRefs or FieldStores that the transformation added. But I forgot about domains over arrays or composites :-(. Such cases would either fail with surprising complaints about mismatched datatypes, or insert unexpected coercions that could lead to odd results. To fix, extend the stripping logic to get rid of CoerceToDomain if it's atop an ArrayRef or FieldStore. While poking at this, I realized that there's a poorly documented and not-at-all-tested behavior nearby: we coerce each VALUES column to the domain type separately, and rely on the rewriter to merge those operations so that the domain constraints are checked only once. If that merging did not happen, it's entirely possible that we'd get unexpected domain constraint failures due to checking a partially-updated container value. There's no bug there, but while we're here let's improve the commentary about it and add some test cases that explicitly exercise that behavior. Per bug #18393 from Pablo Kharo. Back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/18393-65fedb1a0de9260d@postgresql.org
2024-03-12Fix confusion about the return rowtype of SQL-language procedures.Tom Lane
There is a very ancient hack in check_sql_fn_retval that allows a single SELECT targetlist entry of composite type to be taken as supplying all the output columns of a function returning composite. (This is grotty and fundamentally ambiguous, but it's really hard to do nested composite-returning functions without it.) As far as I know, that doesn't cause any problems in ordinary functions. It's disastrous for procedures however. All procedures that have any output parameters are labeled with prorettype RECORD, and the CALL code expects it will get back a record with one column per output parameter, regardless of whether any of those parameters is composite. Doing something else leads to an assertion failure or core dump. This is simple enough to fix: we just need to not apply that rule when considering procedures. However, that requires adding another argument to check_sql_fn_retval, which at least in principle might be getting called by external callers. Therefore, in the back branches convert check_sql_fn_retval into an ABI-preserving wrapper around a new function check_sql_fn_retval_ext. Per report from Yahor Yuzefovich. This has been broken since we implemented procedures, so back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CABz5gWHSjj2df6uG0NRiDhZ_Uz=Y8t0FJP-_SVSsRsnrQT76Gg@mail.gmail.com
2024-03-12Disconnect if socket cannot be put into non-blocking modeHeikki Linnakangas
Commit 387da18874 moved the code to put socket into non-blocking mode from socket_set_nonblocking() into the one-time initialization function, pq_init(). In socket_set_nonblocking(), there indeed was a risk of recursion on failure like the comment said, but in pq_init(), ERROR or FATAL is fine. There's even another elog(FATAL) just after this, if setting FD_CLOEXEC fails. Note that COMMERROR merely logged the error, it did not close the connection, so if putting the socket to non-blocking mode failed we would use the connection anyway. You might not immediately notice, because most socket operations in a regular backend wait for the socket to become readable/writable anyway. But e.g. replication will be quite broken.

2024-03-11Fix incorrect accessing of pfree'd memory in MemoizeDavid Rowley
For pass-by-reference types, the code added in 0b053e78b, which aimed to resolve a memory leak, was overly aggressive in resetting the per-tuple memory context which could result in pfree'd memory being accessed resulting in failing to find previously cached results in the hash table. What was happening was prepare_probe_slot() was switching to the per-tuple memory context and calling ExecEvalExpr(). ExecEvalExpr() may have required a memory allocation. Both MemoizeHash_hash() and MemoizeHash_equal() were aggressively resetting the per-tuple context and after determining the hash value, the context would have gotten reset before MemoizeHash_equal() was called. This could have resulted in MemoizeHash_equal() looking at pfree'd memory. This is less likely to have caused issues on a production build as some other allocation would have had to have reused the pfree'd memory to overwrite it. Otherwise, the original contents would have been intact. However, this clearly caused issues on MEMORY_CONTEXT_CHECKING builds.

In OpenSSL 3.0.0 and later, ERR_reason_error_string randomly refuses to provide a string for error codes representing system errno values (e.g., "No such file or directory"). There is a poorly-documented way to extract the errno from the SSL error code in this case, so do that and apply strerror, rather than falling back to reporting the error code's numeric value as we were previously doing.

2024-03-07Fix handling of self-modified tuples in MERGE.Dean Rasheed
When an UPDATE or DELETE action in MERGE returns TM_SelfModified, there are 2 possible causes: 1). The target tuple was already updated or deleted by the current command. This can happen if the target row joins to more than one source row, and the SQL standard explicitly says that this must be an error. 2). The target tuple was already updated or deleted by a later command in the current transaction. This can happen if the tuple is modified by a BEFORE trigger or a volatile function used in the query, and should be an error for the same reason that it is in a plain UPDATE or DELETE command. In MERGE's primary error handling block, it failed to check for (2), causing it to return a misleading error message in such cases. In the secondary error handling block, following a concurrent update from another session, it failed to check for (1), causing it to silently ignore target rows joined to more than one source row, instead of reporting an error. Fix this, and add tests for both of these cases. Per report from Wenjiang Zhang. Back-patch to v15, where MERGE was introduced.

2024-03-06Fix type-checking of RECORD-returning functions in FROM.Tom Lane
In the corner case where a function returning RECORD has been simplified to a RECORD constant or an inlined ROW() expression, ExecInitFunctionScan failed to cross-check the function's result rowtype against the coldeflist provided by the calling query. That happened because get_expr_result_type is able to extract a tupdesc from such expressions, which led ExecInitFunctionScan to ignore the coldeflist. (Instead, it used the extracted tupdesc to check the function's output, which of course always succeeds.) I have not been able to demonstrate any really serious consequences from this, because if some column of the result is of the wrong type and is directly referenced by a Var of the calling query, CheckVarSlotCompatibility will catch it. However, we definitely do fail to report the case where the function returns more columns than the coldeflist expects, and in the converse case where it returns fewer columns, we get an assert failure (but, seemingly, no worse results in non-assert builds). To fix, always build the expected tupdesc from the coldeflist if there is one, and consult get_expr_result_type only when there isn't one. Also remove the failing Assert, even though it is no longer reached after this fix. It doesn't seem to be adding anything useful, since later checking will deal with cases with the wrong number of columns. The only other place I could find that is doing something similar is inline_set_returning_function. There's no live bug there because we cannot be looking at a Const or RowExpr, but for consistency change that code to agree with ExecInitFunctionScan. Per report from PetSerAl. After some debate I've concluded that this should be back-patched. There is a small risk that somebody has been relying on such a case not throwing an error, but I judge this outweighed by the risk that I've missed some way in which the failure to cross-check has worse consequences than sketched above.

2024-03-06Fix parallel-safety check of expressions and predicate for index buildsMichael Paquier
As coded, the planner logic that calculates the number of parallel workers to use for a parallel index build uses expressions and predicates from the relcache, which are flattened for the planner by eval_const_expressions(). As reported in the bug, an immutable parallel-unsafe function flattened in the relcache would become a Const, which would be considered as parallel-safe, even if the predicate or the expressions including the function are not safe in parallel workers. Depending on the expressions or predicate used, this could cause the parallel build to fail. Tests are included that check parallel index builds with parallel-unsafe predicate and expressions. Two routines are added to lsyscache.h to be able to retrieve expressions and predicate of an index from its pg_index data.

2024-02-25Promote assertion about !ReindexIsProcessingIndex to runtime error.Tom Lane
When this assertion was installed (in commit d2f60a3ab), I thought it was only for catching server logic errors that caused accesses to catalogs that were undergoing index rebuilds. However, it will also fire in case of a user-defined index expression that attempts to access its own table. We occasionally see reports of people trying to do that, and typically getting unintelligible low-level errors as a result. We can provide a more on-point message by making this a regular runtime check. While at it, adjust the similar error check in systable_beginscan_ordered to use the same message text.

2024-02-20Fix incorrect pruning of NULL partition for boolean IS NOT clausesDavid Rowley
Partition pruning wrongly assumed that, for a table partitioned on a boolean column, a clause in the form "boolcol IS NOT false" and "boolcol IS NOT true" could be inverted to correspondingly become "boolcol IS true" and "boolcol IS false". These are not equivalent as the NOT version matches the opposite boolean value *and* NULLs. This incorrect assumption meant that partition pruning pruned away partitions that could contain NULL values. Here we fix this by correctly not pruning partitions which could store NULLs. To be affected by this, the table must be partitioned by a NULLable boolean column and queries would have to contain "boolcol IS NOT false" or "boolcol IS NOT true".

2024-02-19ecpg: Fix zero-termination of string generated by intoasc()Michael Paquier
intoasc(), a wrapper for PGTYPESinterval_to_asc that converts an interval to its textual representation, used a plain memcpy() when copying its result. This could miss a zero-termination in the result string, leading to an incorrect result. The routines in informix.c do not provide the length of their result buffer, which would allow a replacement of strcpy() to safer strlcpy() calls, but this requires an ABI breakage and that cannot happen in back-branches.

2024-02-13Skip .DS_Store files in server side utilsDaniel Gustafsson
The macOS Finder application creates .DS_Store files in directories when opened, which creates problems for serverside utilities which expect all files to be PostgreSQL specific files. Skip these files when encountered in pg_checksums, pg_rewind and pg_basebackup. This was extracted from a larger patchset for skipping hidden files and system files, where the concencus was to just skip these. Since this is equally likely to happen in every version, backpatch to all supported versions.

2024-02-09Remove race condition in pg_get_expr().Tom Lane
Since its introduction, pg_get_expr() has intended to silently return NULL if called with an invalid relation OID, as can happen when scanning the catalogs concurrently with relation drops. However, there is a race condition: we check validity of the OID at the start, but it could get dropped just afterward, leading to failures. This is the cause of some intermittent instability we're seeing in a proposed new test case, and presumably it's a hazard in the field as well. We can fix this by AccessShareLock-ing the target relation for the duration of pg_get_expr(). Since we don't require any permissions on the target relation, this is semantically a bit undesirable. But it turns out that the set_relation_column_names() subroutine already takes a transient AccessShareLock on that relation, and has done since commit 2ffa740be in 2012. Given the lack of complaints about that, it seems like there should be no harm in holding the lock a bit longer. Back-patch to all supported branches.

2024-02-09Avoid concurrent calls to bindtextdomain().Tom Lane
We previously supposed that it was okay for different threads to call bindtextdomain() concurrently (cf. commit 1f655fdc3). It now emerges that there's at least one gettext implementation in which that triggers an abort() crash, so let's stop doing that. Add mutexes guarding libpq's and ecpglib's calls, which are the only ones that need worry about multithreaded callers. Note: in libpq, we could perhaps have piggybacked on default_threadlock() to avoid defining a new mutex variable. I judge that not terribly safe though, since libpq_gettext could be called from code that is holding the default mutex. If that were the first such call in the process, it'd fail. An extra mutex is cheap insurance against unforeseen interactions. Per bug #18312 from Christian Maurer. Back-patch to all supported versions.

2024-02-09Clean up Windows-specific mutex code in libpq and ecpglib.Tom Lane
Fix pthread-win32.h and pthread-win32.c to provide a more complete emulation of POSIX pthread mutexes: define PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER and make sure that pthread_mutex_lock() can operate on a mutex object that's been initialized that way. Then we don't need the duplicative platform-specific logic in default_threadlock() and pgtls_init(), which we'd otherwise need yet a third copy of for an upcoming bug fix. Also, since default_threadlock() supposes that pthread_mutex_lock() cannot fail, try to ensure that that's actually true, by getting rid of the malloc call that was formerly involved in initializing an emulated mutex. We can define an extra state for the spinlock field instead. Also, replace the similar code in ecpglib/misc.c with this version. While ecpglib's version at least had a POSIX-compliant API, it also had the potential of failing during mutex init (but here, because of CreateMutex failure rather than malloc failure). Since all of misc.c's callers ignore failures, it seems like a wise idea to avoid failures here too. A further improvement in this area could be to unify libpq's and ecpglib's implementations into a src/port/pthread-win32.c file. But that doesn't seem like a bug fix, so I'll desist for now. In preparation for the aforementioned bug fix, back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/264860.1707163416@sss.pgh.pa.us
2024-02-09Fix wrong logic in TransactionIdInRecentPast()Alexander Korotkov
The TransactionIdInRecentPast() should return false for all the transactions older than TransamVariables->oldestClogXid. However, the function contains a bug in comparison FullTransactionId to TransactionID allowing full transactions between nextXid - 2^32 and oldestClogXid - 2^31. This commit fixes TransactionIdInRecentPast() by turning the oldestClogXid into FullTransactionId first, then performing the comparison. Backpatch to all supported versions.

2024-02-09Fix propagation of persistence to sequences in ALTER TABLE / ADD COLUMNPeter Eisentraut
Fix for 344d62fb9a9: That commit introduced unlogged sequences and made it so that identity/serial sequences automatically get the persistence level of their owning table. But this works only for CREATE TABLE and not for ALTER TABLE / ADD COLUMN. The latter would always create the sequence as logged (default), independent of the persistence setting of the table. This is fixed here. Note: It is allowed to change the persistence of identity sequences directly using ALTER SEQUENCE. So mistakes in existing databases can be fixed manually.

2024-02-05Run REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW CONCURRENTLY in right security contextHeikki Linnakangas
The internal commands in REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW CONCURRENTLY are correctly executed in SECURITY_RESTRICTED_OPERATION mode, except for creating the temporary "diff" table, because you cannot create temporary tables in SRO mode. But creating the temporary "diff" table is a pretty complex CTAS command that selects from another temporary table created earlier in the command. If you can cajole that CTAS command to execute code defined by the table owner, the table owner can run code with the privileges of the user running the REFRESH command. The proof-of-concept reported to the security team relied on CREATE RULE to convert the internally-built temp table to a view. That's not possible since commit b23cd185fd, and I was not able to find a different way to turn the SELECT on the temp table into code execution, so as far as I know this is only exploitable in v15 and below. That's a fiddly assumption though, so apply this patch to master and all stable versions. Thanks to Pedro Gallegos for the report. Security: CVE-2023-5869 Reviewed-by: Noah Misch

2024-02-01Handle interleavings between CREATE DATABASE steps and base backup.Noah Misch
Restoring a base backup taken in the middle of CreateDirAndVersionFile() or write_relmap_file() would lose the function's effects. The symptom was absence of the database directory, PG_VERSION file, or pg_filenode.map. If missing the directory, recovery would fail. Either missing file would not fail recovery but would render the new database unusable. Fix CreateDirAndVersionFile() with the transam/README "action first and then write a WAL entry" strategy. That has a side benefit of moving filesystem mutations out of a critical section, reducing the ways to PANIC. Fix the write_relmap_file() call with a lock acquisition, so it interacts with checkpoints like non-CREATE DATABASE calls do.
