2017-01-02Silence compiler warningsJoe Conway
In GetCachedPlan(), initialize 'plan' to silence a compiler warning, but also add an Assert() to make sure we don't ever actually fall through with 'plan' still being set to NULL, since we are about to dereference it. Back-patch back to 9.2. Author: Stephen Frost Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20161129152102.GR13284%40tamriel.snowman.net

2016-12-27Fix interval_transform so it doesn't throw away non-no-op casts.Tom Lane
interval_transform() contained two separate bugs that caused it to sometimes mistakenly decide that a cast from interval to restricted interval is a no-op and throw it away. First, it was wrong to rely on dt.h's field type macros to have an ordering consistent with the field's significance; in one case they do not. This led to mistakenly treating YEAR as less significant than MONTH, so that a cast from INTERVAL MONTH to INTERVAL YEAR was incorrectly discarded. Second, fls(1<<k) produces k+1 not k, so comparing its output directly to SECOND was wrong. This led to supposing that a cast to INTERVAL MINUTE was really a cast to INTERVAL SECOND and so could be discarded. To fix, get rid of the use of fls(), and make a function based on intervaltypmodout to produce a field ID code adapted to the need here. Per bug #14479 from Piotr Stefaniak. Back-patch to 9.2 where transform functions were introduced, because this code was born broken. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20161227172307.10135.7747@wrigleys.postgresql.org
2016-12-26Remove triggerable Assert in hashname().Tom Lane
hashname() asserted that the key string it is given is shorter than NAMEDATALEN. That should surely always be true if the input is in fact a regular value of type "name". However, for reasons of coding convenience, we allow plain old C strings to be treated as "name" values in many places. Some SQL functions accept arbitrary "text" inputs, convert them to C strings, and pass them otherwise-untransformed to syscache lookups for name columns, allowing an overlength input value to trigger hashname's Assert. This would be a DOS problem, except that it only happens in assert-enabled builds which aren't recommended for production. In a production build, you'll just get a name lookup error, since regardless of the hash value computed by hashname, the later equality comparison checks can't match. Likewise, if the catalog lookup is done by seqscan or indexscan searches, there will just be a lookup error, since the name comparison functions don't contain any similar length checks, and will see an overlength input as unequal to any stored entry. After discussion we concluded that we should simply remove this Assert. It's inessential to hashname's own functionality, and having such an assertion in only some paths for name lookup is more of a foot-gun than a useful check. There may or may not be a case for the affected callers to do something other than let the name lookup fail, but we'll consider that separately; in any case we probably don't want to change such behavior in the back branches. Per report from Tushar Ahuja. Back-patch to all supported branches.

2016-12-24pg_dumpall: Include --verbose option in --help outputStephen Frost
The -v/--verbose option was not included in the output from --help for pg_dumpall even though it's in the pg_dumpall documentation and has apparently been around since pg_dumpall was reimplemented in C in 2002.

2016-12-23Fix tab completion in psql for ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGESStephen Frost
When providing tab completion for ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES, we are including the list of roles as possible options for completion after the GRANT or REVOKE. Further, we accept FOR ROLE/IN SCHEMA at the same time and in either order, but the tab completion was only working for one or the other. Lastly, we weren't using the actual list of allowed kinds of objects for default privileges for completion after the 'GRANT X ON' but instead were completeing to what 'GRANT X ON' supports, which isn't the ssame at all. Address these issues by improving the forward tab-completion for ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES and then constrain and correct how the tail completion is done when it is for ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES. Back-patch the forward/tail tab-completion to 9.6, where we made it easy to handle such cases. For 9.5 and earlier, correct the initial tab-completion to at least be correct as far as it goes and then add a check for GRANT/REVOKE to only tab-complete when the GRANT/REVOKE is the start of the command, so we don't try to do tab-completion after we get to the GRANT/REVOKE part of the ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES command, which is better than providing incorrect completions. Initial patch for master and 9.6 by Gilles Darold, though I cleaned it up and added a few comments. All bugs in the 9.5 and earlier patch are mine.

2016-12-22Use TSConfigRelationId in AlterTSConfiguration()Stephen Frost
When we are altering a text search configuration, we are getting the tuple from pg_ts_config and using its OID, so use TSConfigRelationId when invoking any post-alter hooks and setting the object address. Further, in the functions called from AlterTSConfiguration(), we're saving information about the command via EventTriggerCollectAlterTSConfig(), so we should be setting commandCollected to true. Also add a regression test to test_ddl_deparse for ALTER TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION. Author: Artur Zakirov, a few additional comments by me Discussion: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/57a71eba-f2c7-e7fd-6fc0-2126ec0b39bd%40postgrespro.ru Back-patch the fix for the InvokeObjectPostAlterHook() call to 9.3 where it was introduced, and the fix for the ObjectAddressSet() call and setting commandCollected to true to 9.5 where those changes to ProcessUtilitySlow() were introduced.
2016-12-22Fix broken error check in _hash_doinsert.Robert Haas
You can't just cast a HashMetaPage to a Page, because the meta page data is stored after the page header, not at offset 0. Fortunately, this didn't break anything because it happens to find hashm_bsize at the offset at which it expects to find pd_pagesize_version, and the values are close enough to the same that this works out. Still, it's a bug, so back-patch to all supported versions. Mithun Cy, revised a bit by me.

2016-12-21Fix detection of unfinished Unicode surrogate pair at end of string.Tom Lane
The U&'...' and U&"..." syntaxes silently discarded a surrogate pair start (that is, a code between U+D800 and U+DBFF) if it occurred at the very end of the string. This seems like an obvious oversight, since we throw an error for every other invalid combination of surrogate characters, including the very same situation in E'...' syntax. This has been wrong since the pair processing was added (in 9.0), so back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/19113.1482337898@sss.pgh.pa.us
2016-12-21Fix dumping of casts and transforms using built-in functionsStephen Frost
In pg_dump.c dumpCast() and dumpTransform(), we would happily ignore the cast or transform if it happened to use a built-in function because we weren't including the information about built-in functions when querying pg_proc from getFuncs(). Modify the query in getFuncs() to also gather information about functions which are used by user-defined casts and transforms (where "user-defined" means "has an OID >= FirstNormalObjectId"). This also adds to the TAP regression tests for 9.6 and master to cover these types of objects. Back-patch all the way for casts, back to 9.5 for transforms.

2016-12-21For 8.0 servers, get last built-in oid from pg_databaseStephen Frost
We didn't start ensuring that all built-in objects had OIDs less than 16384 until 8.1, so for 8.0 servers we still need to query the value out of pg_database. We need this, in particular, to distinguish which casts were built-in and which were user-defined. For HEAD, we only worry about going back to 8.0, for the back-branches, we also ensure that 7.0-7.4 work.

2016-12-21Fix order of operations in CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW.Dean Rasheed
When CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW acts on an existing view, don't update the view options until after the view query has been updated. This is necessary in the case where CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW is used on an existing view that is not updatable, and the new view is updatable and specifies the WITH CHECK OPTION. In this case, attempting to apply the new options to the view before updating its query fails, because the options are applied using the ALTER TABLE infrastructure which checks that WITH CHECK OPTION is only applied to an updatable view. If new columns are being added to the view, that is also done using the ALTER TABLE infrastructure, but it is important that that still be done before updating the view query, because the rules system checks that the query columns match those on the view relation. Added a comment to explain that, in case someone is tempted to move that to where the view options are now being set. Back-patch to 9.4 where WITH CHECK OPTION was added.

2016-12-13Back-patch fcff8a575198478023ada8a48e13b50f70054766 as a bug fix.Kevin Grittner
When there is both a serialization failure and a unique violation, throw the former rather than the latter. When initially pushed, this was viewed as a feature to assist application framework developers, so that they could more accurately determine when to retry a failed transaction, but a test case presented by Ian Jackson has shown that this patch can prevent serialization anomalies in some cases where a unique violation is caught within a subtransaction, the work of that subtransaction is discarded, and no error is thrown. That makes this a bug fix, so it is being back-patched to all supported branches where it is not already present (i.e., 9.2 to 9.5).

2016-12-11Build backend/parser/scan.l and interfaces/ecpg/preproc/pgc.l standalone.Tom Lane
Back-patch commit 72b1e3a21 into the pre-9.6 branches. As noted in the original commit, this has some extra benefits: we can narrow the scope of the -Wno-error flag that's forced on scan.c. Also, since these grammar and lexer files are so large, splitting them into separate build targets should have some advantages in build speed, particularly in parallel or ccache'd builds. However, the real reason for doing this now is that it avoids symbol- redefinition warnings (or worse) with the latest version of flex.

2016-12-11Prevent crash when ts_rewrite() replaces a non-top-level subtree with null.Tom Lane
When ts_rewrite()'s replacement argument is an empty tsquery, it's supposed to simplify any operator nodes whose operand(s) become NULL; but it failed to do that reliably, because dropvoidsubtree() only examined the top level of the result tree. Rather than make a second recursive pass, let's just give the responsibility to dofindsubquery() to simplify while it's doing the main replacement pass. Per report from Andreas Seltenreich. Artur Zakirov, with some cosmetic changes by me. Back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/8737i01dew.fsf@credativ.de
2016-12-09Be more careful about Python refcounts while creating exception objects.Tom Lane
PLy_generate_spi_exceptions neglected to do Py_INCREF on the new exception objects, evidently supposing that PyModule_AddObject would do that --- but it doesn't. This left us in a situation where a Python garbage collection cycle could result in deletion of exception object(s), causing server crashes or wrong answers if the exception objects are used later in the session. In addition, PLy_generate_spi_exceptions didn't bother to test for a null result from PyErr_NewException, which at best is inconsistent with the code in PLy_add_exceptions. And PLy_add_exceptions, while it did do Py_INCREF on the exceptions it makes, waited to do that till after some PyModule_AddObject calls, creating a similar risk for failure if garbage collection happened within those calls. To fix, refactor to have just one piece of code that creates an exception object and adds it to the spiexceptions module, bumping the refcount first. Also, let's add an additional refcount to represent the pointer we're going to store in a C global variable or hash table. This should only matter if the user does something weird like delete the spiexceptions Python module, but lack of paranoia has caused us enough problems in PL/Python already. The fact that PyModule_AddObject doesn't do a Py_INCREF of its own explains the need for the Py_INCREF added in commit 4c966d920, so we can improve the comment about that; also, this means we really want to do that before not after the PyModule_AddObject call. The missing Py_INCREF in PLy_generate_spi_exceptions was reported and diagnosed by Rafa de la Torre; the other fixes by me. Back-patch to all supported branches.

2016-12-09Fix reporting of column typmods for multi-row VALUES constructs.Tom Lane
expandRTE() and get_rte_attribute_type() reported the exprType() and exprTypmod() values of the expressions in the first row of the VALUES as being the column type/typmod returned by the VALUES RTE. That's fine for the data type, since we coerce all expressions in a column to have the same common type. But we don't coerce them to have a common typmod, so it was possible for rows after the first one to return values that violate the claimed column typmod. This leads to the incorrect result seen in bug #14448 from Hassan Mahmood, as well as some other corner-case misbehaviors. The desired behavior is the same as we use in other type-unification cases: report the common typmod if there is one, but otherwise return -1 indicating no particular constraint. We fixed this in HEAD by deriving the typmods during transformValuesClause and storing them in the RTE, but that's not a feasible solution in the back branches. Instead, just use a brute-force approach of determining the correct common typmod during expandRTE() and get_rte_attribute_type(). Simple testing says that that doesn't really cost much, at least not in common cases where expandRTE() is only used once per query. It turns out that get_rte_attribute_type() is typically never used at all on VALUES RTEs, so the inefficiency there is of no great concern.

2016-12-08Log the creation of an init fork unconditionally.Robert Haas
Previously, it was thought that this only needed to be done for the benefit of possible standbys, so wal_level = minimal skipped it. But that's not safe, because during crash recovery we might replay XLOG_DBASE_CREATE or XLOG_TBLSPC_CREATE record which recursively removes the directory that contains the new init fork. So log it always. The user-visible effect of this bug is that if you create a database or tablespace, then create an unlogged table, then crash without checkpointing, then restart, accessing the table will fail, because the it won't have been properly reset. This commit fixes that. Michael Paquier, per a report from Konstantin Knizhnik. Wording of the comments per a suggestion from me.
2016-12-07Restore psql's SIGPIPE setting if popen() fails.Tom Lane
Ancient oversight in PageOutput(): if popen() fails, we'd better reset the SIGPIPE handler before returning stdout, because ClosePager() won't. Noticed while fixing the empty-PAGER issue.
2016-12-07Handle empty or all-blank PAGER setting more sanely in psql.Tom Lane
If the PAGER environment variable is set but contains an empty string, psql would pass it to "sh" which would silently exit, causing whatever query output we were printing to vanish entirely. This is quite mystifying; it took a long time for us to figure out that this was the cause of Joseph Brenner's trouble report. Rather than allowing that to happen, we should treat this as another way to specify "no pager". (We could alternatively treat it as selecting the default pager, but it seems more likely that the former is what the user meant to achieve by setting PAGER this way.) Nonempty, but all-white-space, PAGER values have the same behavior, and it's pretty easy to test for that, so let's handle that case the same way. Most other cases of faulty PAGER values will result in the shell printing some kind of complaint to stderr, which should be enough to diagnose the problem, so we don't need to work harder than this. (Note that there's been an intentional decision not to be very chatty about apparent failure returns from the pager process, since that may happen if, eg, the user quits the pager with control-C or some such. I'd just as soon not start splitting hairs about which exit codes might merit making our own report.) libpq's old PQprint() function was already on board with ignoring empty PAGER values, but for consistency, make it ignore all-white-space values as well. It's been like this a long time, so back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAFfgvXWLOE2novHzYjmQK8-J6TmHz42G8f3X0SORM44+stUGmw@mail.gmail.com
2016-12-03Make pgwin32_putenv() visit debug CRTs.Noah Misch
This has no effect in the most conventional case, where no relevant DLL uses a debug build.

In accordance with its own documentation, invoke CloseHandle() only when directed in the documentation for the function that furnished the handle. GetModuleHandle() does not so direct.

2016-11-26Fix test about ignoring extension dependencies during extension scripts.Tom Lane
Commit 08dd23cec introduced an exception to the rule that extension member objects can only be dropped as part of dropping the whole extension, intending to allow such drops while running the extension's own creation or update scripts. However, the exception was only applied at the outermost recursion level, because it was modeled on a pre-existing check to ignore dependencies on objects listed in pendingObjects. Bug #14434 from Philippe Beaudoin shows that this is inadequate: in some cases we can reach an extension member object by recursion from another one. (The bug concerns the serial-sequence case; I'm not sure if there are other cases, but there might well be.) To fix, revert 08dd23cec's changes to findDependentObjects() and instead apply the creating_extension exception regardless of stack level. Having seen this example, I'm a bit suspicious that the pendingObjects logic is also wrong and such cases should likewise be allowed at any recursion level. However, changing that would interact in subtle ways with the recursion logic (at least it would need to be moved to after the recursing-from check). Given that the code's been like that a long time, I'll refrain from touching it without a clear example showing it's wrong. Back-patch to all active branches. In HEAD and 9.6, where suitable test infrastructure exists, add a regression test case based on the bug report.

2016-11-25Check for pending trigger events on far end when dropping an FK constraint.Tom Lane
When dropping a foreign key constraint with ALTER TABLE DROP CONSTRAINT, we refuse the drop if there are any pending trigger events on the named table; this ensures that we won't remove the pg_trigger row that will be consulted by those events. But we should make the same check for the referenced relation, else we might remove a due-to-be-referenced pg_trigger row for that relation too, resulting in "could not find trigger NNN" or "relation NNN has no triggers" errors at commit.

2016-11-23Make sure ALTER TABLE preserves index tablespaces.Tom Lane
When rebuilding an existing index, ALTER TABLE correctly kept the physical file in the same tablespace, but it messed up the pg_class entry if the index had been in the database's default tablespace and "default_tablespace" was set to some non-default tablespace. This led to an inaccessible index. Fix by fixing pg_get_indexdef_string() to always include a tablespace clause, whether or not the index is in the default tablespace. The previous behavior was installed in commit 537e92e41, and I think it just wasn't thought through very clearly; certainly the possible effect of default_tablespace wasn't considered. There's some risk in changing the behavior of this function, but there are no other call sites in the core code. Even if it's being used by some third party extension, it's fairly hard to envision a usage that is okay with a tablespace clause being appended some of the time but can't handle it being appended all the time.

2016-11-21Fix PGLC_localeconv() to handle errors better.Tom Lane
The code was intentionally not very careful about leaking strdup'd strings in case of an error. That was forgivable probably, but it also failed to notice strdup() failures, which could lead to subsequent null-pointer-dereference crashes, since many callers unsurprisingly didn't check for null pointers in the struct lconv fields. An even worse problem is that it could throw error while we were setlocale'd to a non-C locale, causing unwanted behavior in subsequent libc calls. Rewrite to ensure that we cannot throw elog(ERROR) until after we've restored the previous locale settings, or at least attempted to. (I'm sorely tempted to make restore failure be a FATAL error, but will refrain for the moment.) Having done that, it's not much more work to ensure that we clean up strdup'd storage on the way out, too. This code is substantially the same in all supported branches, so back-patch all the way.

2016-11-20Prevent multicolumn expansion of "foo.*" in an UPDATE source expression.Tom Lane
Because we use transformTargetList() for UPDATE as well as SELECT tlists, the code accidentally tried to expand a "*" reference into several columns. This is nonsensical, because the UPDATE syntax provides exactly one target column to put the value into. The immediate result was that transformUpdateTargetList() got confused and reported "UPDATE target count mismatch --- internal error". It seems better to treat such a reference as a plain whole-row variable, as it would be in other contexts. (This could produce useful results when the target column is of composite type.) Fix by tweaking transformTargetList() to perform *-expansion only conditionally, depending on its exprKind parameter. Back-patch to 9.3. The problem exists further back, but a fix would be much more invasive before that, because transformTargetList() wasn't told what kind of list it was working on. Doesn't seem worth the trouble given the lack of field reports. (I only noticed it because I was checking the code while trying to improve the documentation about how we handle "foo.*".)

2016-11-17Improve pg_dump/pg_restore --create --if-exists logic.Tom Lane
Teach it not to complain if the dropStmt attached to an archive entry is actually spelled CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW, since that will happen due to an upcoming bug fix. Also, if it doesn't recognize a dropStmt, have it print a WARNING and then emit the dropStmt unmodified. That seems like a much saner behavior than Assert'ing or dumping core due to a null-pointer dereference, which is what would happen before :-(. Back-patch to 9.4 where this option was introduced.

2016-11-17Avoid pin scan for replay of XLOG_BTREE_VACUUM in all casesAlvaro Herrera
Replay of XLOG_BTREE_VACUUM during Hot Standby was previously thought to require complex interlocking that matched the requirements on the master. This required an O(N) operation that became a significant problem with large indexes, causing replication delays of seconds or in some cases minutes while the XLOG_BTREE_VACUUM was replayed. This commit skips the “pin scan” that was previously required, by observing in detail when and how it is safe to do so, with full documentation. The pin scan is skipped only in replay; the VACUUM code path on master is not touched here. No tests included. Manual tests using an additional patch to view WAL records and their timing have shown the change in WAL records and their handling has successfully reduced replication delay. This is a back-patch of commits 687f2cd7a015, 3e4b7d87988f, b60284261375 by Simon Riggs, to branches 9.4 and 9.5. No further backpatch is possible because this depends on catalog scans being MVCC. I (Álvaro) additionally updated a slight problem in the README, which explains why this touches the 9.6 and master branches.
2016-11-15Allow DOS-style line endings in ~/.pgpass files.Tom Lane
On Windows, libc will mask \r\n line endings for us, since we read the password file in text mode. But that doesn't happen on Unix. People who share password files across both systems might have \r\n line endings in a file they use on Unix, so as a convenience, ignore trailing \r. Per gripe from Josh Berkus. In passing, put the existing check for empty line somewhere where it's actually useful, ie after stripping the newline not before.

2016-11-15Account for catalog snapshot in PGXACT->xmin updates.Tom Lane
The CatalogSnapshot was not plugged into SnapshotResetXmin()'s accounting for whether MyPgXact->xmin could be cleared or advanced. In normal transactions this was masked by the fact that the transaction snapshot would be older, but during backend startup and certain utility commands it was possible to re-use the CatalogSnapshot after MyPgXact->xmin had been cleared, meaning that recently-deleted rows could be pruned even though this snapshot could still see them, causing unexpected catalog lookup failures. This effect appears to be the explanation for a recent failure on buildfarm member piculet. To fix, add the CatalogSnapshot to the RegisteredSnapshots heap whenever it is valid. In the previous logic, it was possible for the CatalogSnapshot to remain valid across waits for client input, but with this change that would mean it delays advance of global xmin in cases where it did not before. To avoid possibly causing new table-bloat problems with clients that sit idle for long intervals, add code to invalidate the CatalogSnapshot before waiting for client input. (When the backend is busy, it's unlikely that the CatalogSnapshot would be the oldest snap for very long, so we don't worry about forcing early invalidation of it otherwise.) In passing, remove the CatalogSnapshotStale flag in favor of using "CatalogSnapshot != NULL" to represent validity, as we do for the other special snapshots in snapmgr.c. And improve some obsolete comments. No regression test because I don't know a deterministic way to cause this failure. But the stress test shown in the original discussion provokes "cache lookup failed for relation 1255" within a few dozen seconds for me. Back-patch to 9.4 where MVCC catalog scans were introduced. (Note: it's quite easy to produce similar failures with the same test case in branches before 9.4. But MVCC catalog scans were supposed to fix that.) Discussion: <16447.1478818294@sss.pgh.pa.us>
2016-11-07Fix handling of symlinked pg_stat_tmp and pg_replslotMagnus Hagander
This was already fixed in HEAD as part of 6ad8ac60 but was not backpatched. Also change the way pg_xlog is handled to be the same as the other directories. Patch from me with pg_xlog addition from Michael Paquier, test updates from David Steele.
2016-11-06Rationalize and document pltcl's handling of magic ".tupno" array element.Tom Lane
For a very long time, pltcl's spi_exec and spi_execp commands have had a behavior of storing the current row number as an element of output arrays, but this was never documented. Fix that. For an equally long time, pltcl_trigger_handler had a behavior of silently ignoring ".tupno" as an output column name, evidently so that the result of spi_exec could be used directly as a trigger result tuple. Not sure how useful that really is, but in any case it's bad that it would break attempts to use ".tupno" as an actual column name. We can fix it by not checking for ".tupno" until after we check for a column name match. This comports with the effective behavior of spi_exec[p] that ".tupno" is only magic when you don't have an actual column named that. In passing, wordsmith the description of returning modified tuples from a pltcl trigger. Noted while working on Jim Nasby's patch to support composite results from pltcl. The inability to return trigger tuples using ".tupno" as a column name is a bug, so back-patch to all supported branches.
2016-11-06More zic cleanup.Tom Lane
The workaround the IANA guys chose to get rid of the clang warning we'd silenced in commit 23ed2ba81 turns out not to satisfy Coverity. Go back to the previous solution, ie, remove the useless comparison to SIZE_MAX. (In principle, there could be machines out there where it's not useless because ptrdiff_t is wider than size_t. But the whole thing is pretty academic anyway, as we could never approach this limit for any sane estimate of the amount of data that zic will ever be asked to work with.) Also, s/lineno/lineno_t/g, because if we accept their decision to start using "lineno" as a typedef, it is going to have very unpleasant consequences in our next pgindent run. Noted that while fooling with pltcl yesterday.
2016-11-04Sync our copy of the timezone library with IANA tzcode master.Tom Lane
This patch absorbs some unreleased fixes for symlink manipulation bugs introduced in tzcode 2016g. Ordinarily I'd wait around for a released version, but in this case it seems like we could do with extra testing, in particular checking whether it works in EDB's VMware build environment. This corresponds to commit aec59156abbf8472ba201b6c7ca2592f9c10e077 in https://github.com/eggert/tz. Per a report from Sandeep Thakkar, building in an environment where hard links are not supported in the timezone data installation directory failed, because upstream code refactoring had broken the case of symlinking from an existing symlink. Further experimentation also showed that the symlinks were sometimes made incorrectly, with too many or too few "../"'s in the symlink contents. Back-patch of commit 1f87181e12beb067d21b79493393edcff14c190b.

2016-10-30Fix nasty performance problem in tsquery_rewrite().Tom Lane
tsquery_rewrite() tries to find matches to subsets of AND/OR conditions; for example, in the query 'a | b | c' the substitution subquery 'a | c' should match and lead to replacement of the first and third items. That's fine, but the matching algorithm apparently takes about O(2^N) for an N-clause query (I say "apparently" because the code is also both unintelligible and uncommented). We could probably do better than that even without any extra assumptions --- but actually, we know that the subclauses are sorted, indeed are depending on that elsewhere in this very same function. So we can just scan the two lists a single time to detect matches, as though we were doing a merge join. Also do a re-flattening call (QTNTernary()) in tsquery_rewrite_query, just to make sure that the tree fits the expectations of the next search cycle. I didn't try to devise a test case for this, but I'm pretty sure that the oversight could have led to failure to match in some cases where a match would be expected. Improve comments, and also stick a CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS into dofindsubquery, just in case it's still too slow for somebody. Per report from Andreas Seltenreich. Back-patch to all supported branches.

2016-10-30Fix bogus tree-flattening logic in QTNTernary().Tom Lane
QTNTernary() contains logic to flatten, eg, '(a & b) & c' into 'a & b & c', which is all well and good, but it tries to do that to NOT nodes as well, so that '!!a' gets changed to '!a'. Explicitly restrict the conversion to be done only on AND and OR nodes, and add a test case illustrating the bug. In passing, provide some comments for the sadly naked functions in tsquery_util.c, and simplify some baroque logic in QTNFree(), which I think may have been leaking some items it intended to free. Noted while investigating a complaint from Andreas Seltenreich. Back-patch to all supported versions.
2016-10-27If the stats collector dies during Hot Standby, restart it.Robert Haas
This bug exists as far back as 9.0, when Hot Standby was introduced, so back-patch to all supported branches. Report and patch by Takayuki Tsunakawa, reviewed by Michael Paquier and Kuntal Ghosh.
2016-10-27Fix possible pg_basebackup failure on standby with "include WAL".Robert Haas
If a restartpoint flushed no dirty buffers, it could fail to update the minimum recovery point, leading to a minimum recovery point prior to the starting REDO location. perform_base_backup() would interpret that as meaning that no WAL files at all needed to be included in the backup, failing an internal sanity check. To fix, have restartpoints always update the minimum recovery point to just after the checkpoint record itself, so that the file (or files) containing the checkpoint record will always be included in the backup. Code by Amit Kapila, per a design suggestion by me, with some additional work on the code comment by me. Test case by Michael Paquier. Report by Kyotaro Horiguchi.
2016-10-26Fix incorrect trigger-property updating in ALTER CONSTRAINT.Tom Lane
The code to change the deferrability properties of a foreign-key constraint updated all the associated triggers to match; but a moment's examination of the code that creates those triggers in the first place shows that only some of them should track the constraint's deferrability properties. This leads to odd failures in subsequent exercise of the foreign key, as the triggers are fired at the wrong times. Fix that, and add a regression test comparing the trigger properties produced by ALTER CONSTRAINT with those you get by creating the constraint as-intended to begin with. Per report from James Parks. Back-patch to 9.4 where this ALTER functionality was introduced. Report: <CAJ3Xv+jzJ8iNNUcp4RKW8b6Qp1xVAxHwSXVpjBNygjKxcVuE9w@mail.gmail.com>
2016-10-26Fix not-HAVE_SYMLINK code in zic.c.Tom Lane
I broke this in commit f3094920a. Apparently it's dead code anyway, at least as far as our buildfarm is concerned (and the upstream IANA code doesn't worry at all about symlink() not being present). But as long as the rest of our code is willing to guard against not having symlink(), this should too. Noted while investigating a tangentially-related complaint from Sandeep Thakkar. Back-patch to keep branches in sync.

2016-10-23Avoid testing tuple visibility without buffer lock in RI_FKey_check().Tom Lane
Despite the argumentation I wrote in commit 7a2fe85b0, it's unsafe to do this, because in corner cases it's possible for HeapTupleSatisfiesSelf to try to set hint bits on the target tuple; and at least since 8.2 we have required the buffer content lock to be held while setting hint bits. The added regression test exercises one such corner case. Unpatched, it causes an assertion failure in assert-enabled builds, or otherwise would cause a hint bit change in a buffer we don't hold lock on, which given the right race condition could result in checksum failures or other data consistency problems. The odds of a problem in the field are probably pretty small, but nonetheless back-patch to all supported branches. Report: <19391.1477244876@sss.pgh.pa.us>
