2014-05-27Support BSD and e2fsprogs UUID libraries alongside OSSP UUID library.Tom Lane
Allow the contrib/uuid-ossp extension to be built atop any one of these three popular UUID libraries. (The extension's name is now arguably a misnomer, but we'll keep it the same so as not to cause unnecessary compatibility issues for users.) We would not normally consider a change like this post-beta1, but the issue has been forced by our upgrade to autoconf 2.69, whose more rigorous header checks are causing OSSP's header files to be rejected on some platforms. It's been foreseen for some time that we'd have to move away from depending on OSSP UUID due to lack of upstream maintenance, so this is a down payment on that problem. While at it, add some simple regression tests, in hopes of catching any major incompatibilities between the three implementations. Matteo Beccati, with some further hacking by me
2014-05-26Fix pg_recvlogical to accept the documented -I instead only --startpos.Andres Freund
The bug was caused by omitting 'I:' from the short argument list to getopt_long(). To make similar bugs in the future less likely reorder options in --help, long and short option lists to be in the same, alphabetical within groups, order. Report and fix by Michael Paquier, some additional reordering by me.

2014-05-25Fix error when trying to delete page with half-dead left sibling.Heikki Linnakangas
The new page deletion code didn't cope with the case the target page's right sibling was marked half-dead. It failed a sanity check which checked that the downlinks in the parent page match the lower level, because a half-dead page has no downlink. To cope, check for that condition, and just give up on the deletion if it happens. The vacuum will finish the deletion of the half-dead page when it gets there, and on the next vacuum after that the empty can be deleted. Reported by Jeff Janes.
2014-05-25Don't allocate memory inside an Assert() iff in a critical section.Andres Freund
HeapTupleHeaderGetCmax() asserts that it is only used if the tuple has been updated by the current transaction. That check is correct and sensible but requires allocating memory if xmax is a multixact. When wal_level is set to logical cmax needs to be included in a wal record , generated inside a critical section, which can trigger the assertion added in 4a170ee9e. Reported-By: Steve Singer
2014-05-24Silence a couple of spurious valgrind warnings in inval.c.Andres Freund
Define padding bytes in SharedInvalidationMessage structs to be defined. Otherwise the sinvaladt.c ringbuffer, which is accessed by multiple processes, will cause spurious valgrind warnings about undefined memory being used. That's because valgrind remembers the undefined bytes from the last local process's store, not realizing that another process has written since, filling the previously uninitialized bytes.

2014-05-20Prevent auto_explain from changing the output of a user's EXPLAIN.Tom Lane
Commit af7914c6627bcf0b0ca614e9ce95d3f8056602bf, which introduced the EXPLAIN (TIMING) option, for some reason coded explain.c to look at planstate->instrument->need_timer rather than es->timing to decide whether to print timing info. However, the former flag might get set as a result of contrib/auto_explain wanting timing information. We certainly don't want activation of auto_explain to change user-visible statement behavior, so fix that. Also fix an independent bug introduced in the same patch: in the code path for a never-executed node with a machine-friendly output format, if timing was selected, it would fail to print the Actual Rows and Actual Loops items. Per bug #10404 from Tomonari Katsumata. Back-patch to 9.2 where the faulty code was introduced.

2014-05-19Fix backup-block numbering in redo of b-tree split.Heikki Linnakangas
I got the backup block numbers off-by-one in the commit that changed the way incomplete-splits are handled. I blame the comments, which said "backup block 1" and "backup block 2", even though the backup blocks are numbered starting from 0, in the macros and functions used in replay. Fix the comments and the code. Per Jeff Janes' bug report about corruption caused by torn page writes. The incorrect code is new in git master, but backpatch the comment change down to 9.0, where the numbering in the redo-side macros was changed.
2014-05-18Ooops, I broke initdb with that last patch.Tom Lane
That's what I get for not fully retesting the final version of the patch. The replace_allowed cross-check needs an additional special case for bootstrapping.
2014-05-18Fix two ancient memory-leak bugs in relcache.c.Tom Lane
RelationCacheInsert() ignored the possibility that hash_search(HASH_ENTER) might find a hashtable entry already present for the same OID. However, that can in fact occur during recursive relcache load scenarios. When it did happen, we overwrote the pointer to the pre-existing Relation, causing a session-lifespan leakage of that entire structure. As far as is known, the pre-existing Relation would always have reference count zero by the time we arrive back at the outer insertion, so add code that deletes the pre-existing Relation if so. If by some chance its refcount is positive, elog a WARNING and allow the pre-existing Relation to be leaked as before. Also, AttrDefaultFetch() was sloppy about leaking the cstring form of the pg_attrdef.adbin value it's copying into the relcache structure. This is only a query-lifespan leakage, and normally not very significant, but it adds up during CLOBBER_CACHE testing. These bugs are of very ancient vintage, but I'll refrain from back-patching since there's no evidence that these leaks amount to anything in ordinary usage.
2014-05-17Make fallback implementation of pg_memory_barrier() work.Tom Lane
The fallback implementation involves acquiring and releasing a spinlock variable that is otherwise unreferenced --- not even to the extent of initializing it. This accidentally fails to fail on platforms where spinlocks should be initialized to zeroes, but elsewhere it results in a "stuck spinlock" failure during startup. I griped about this last July, and put in a hack that worked for gcc on HPPA, but didn't get around to fixing the general case. Per the discussion back then, the best thing to do seems to be to initialize dummy_spinlock in main.c.
2014-05-17Fix a bunch of functions that were declared static then defined not-static.Tom Lane
Per testing with a compiler that whines about this.
2014-05-17Fix unaligned accesses in DecodeUpdate().Tom Lane
The xl_heap_header_len structures in an XLOG_HEAP_UPDATE record aren't necessarily aligned adequately. The regular replay function for these records is aware of that, but decode.c didn't get the memo. I'm not sure why the buildfarm failed to catch this; the test_decoding test certainly blows up real good on my old HPPA box. Also, I'm pretty sure that the address arithmetic was wrong for the case of XLOG_HEAP_CONTAINS_OLD and not XLOG_HEAP_CONTAINS_NEW_TUPLE, though this apparently can't happen when logical decoding is active.
2014-05-17Update README, we don't do post-recovery cleanup actions anymore.Heikki Linnakangas
transam/README explained how B-tree incomplete splits were tracked and fixed after recovery, as an example of handling complex actions that need multiple WAL records, but that's not how it works anymore. Explain the new paradigm.
2014-05-16Make sure chr(int) can't create invalid UTF8 sequences.Tom Lane
Several years ago we changed chr(int) so that if the database encoding is UTF8, it would interpret its argument as a Unicode code point and expand it into the appropriate multibyte sequence. However, we weren't sufficiently careful about checking validity of the input. According to RFC3629, UTF8 disallows code points above U+10FFFF (note that the predecessor standard RFC2279 was more liberal). Also, both versions of the UTF8 spec agree that Unicode surrogate-pair codes should never appear in UTF8. Because our encoding validity checks follow RFC3629, our failure to enforce these restrictions in chr() means it could be used to produce text strings that will be rejected when the database is dumped and reloaded. To ensure consistency with the input functions, let's actually apply pg_utf8_islegal() to the proposed output of chr(). Per discussion, this seems like too much of a behavioral change to back-patch, but it's not too late to squeeze it into 9.4.
2014-05-16Fix thinko in logical decoding of commit-prepared records.Heikki Linnakangas
The decoding of prepared transaction commits accidentally used the XID of the transaction performing the COMMIT PREPARED, not the XID of the prepared transaction. Before bb38fb0d43c8d that lead to those transactions not being decoded, afterwards to a assertion failure.
2014-05-16Open output file before sleeping in pg_recvlogical.Heikki Linnakangas
Let's complain about e.g an invalid path or permission problem sooner rather than later. Before this patch, we would only try to open the output file after receiving the first decoded message from the server.
2014-05-16Initialize tsId and dbId fields in WAL record of COMMIT PREPARED.Heikki Linnakangas
Commit dd428c79 added dbId and tsId to the xl_xact_commit struct but missed that prepared transaction commits reuse that struct. Fix that. Because those fields were left unitialized, replaying a commit prepared WAL record in a hot standby node would fail to remove the relcache init file. That can lead to "could not open file" errors on the standby. Relcache init file only needs to be removed when a system table/index is rewritten in the transaction using two phase commit, so that should be rare in practice. In HEAD, the incorrect dbId/tsId values are also used for filtering in logical replication code, causing the transaction to always be filtered out. Analysis and fix by Andres Freund. Backpatch to 9.0 where hot standby was introduced.
2014-05-15Fix unportable setvbuf() usage in initdb.Tom Lane
In yesterday's commit 2dc4f011fd61501cce507be78c39a2677690d44b, I tried to force buffering of stdout/stderr in initdb to be what it is by default when the program is run interactively on Unix (since that's how most manual testing is done). This tripped over the fact that Windows doesn't support _IOLBF mode. We dealt with that a long time ago in syslogger.c by falling back to unbuffered mode on Windows. Export that solution in port.h and use it in initdb. Back-patch to 8.4, like the previous commit.
2014-05-15Fix a couple of bugs in pg_recvlogical output to stdout.Heikki Linnakangas
Don't close stdout on SIGHUP. Also, when a SIGHUP is received, close the file immediately, rather than only after receiving some more data from the server. Rename a variable, to avoid mentally dealing with double negatives (not unsynced means synced).
2014-05-15Handle duplicate XIDs in txid_snapshot.Heikki Linnakangas
The proc array can contain duplicate XIDs, when a transaction is just being prepared for two-phase commit. To cope, remove any duplicates in txid_current_snapshot(). Also ignore duplicates in the input functions, so that if e.g. you have an old pg_dump file that already contains duplicates, it will be accepted. Report and fix by Jan Wieck. Backpatch to all supported versions.
2014-05-15Fix race condition in preparing a transaction for two-phase commit.Heikki Linnakangas
To lock a prepared transaction's shared memory entry, we used to mark it with the XID of the backend. When the XID was no longer active according to the proc array, the entry was implicitly considered as not locked anymore. However, when preparing a transaction, the backend's proc array entry was cleared before transfering the locks (and some other state) to the prepared transaction's dummy PGPROC entry, so there was a window where another backend could finish the transaction before it was in fact fully prepared. To fix, rewrite the locking mechanism of global transaction entries. Instead of an XID, just have simple locked-or-not flag in each entry (we store the locking backend's backend id rather than a simple boolean, but that's just for debugging purposes). The backend is responsible for explicitly unlocking the entry, and to make sure that that happens, install a callback to unlock it on abort or process exit. Backpatch to all supported versions.

2014-05-14pg_ctl: Write error messages to stderrPeter Eisentraut
2014-05-14In initdb, ensure stdout/stderr buffering behavior is what we expect.Tom Lane
Since this program may print to either stdout or stderr, the relative ordering of its messages depends on the buffering behavior of those files. Force stdout to be line-buffered and stderr to be unbuffered, ensuring that the behavior will match standard Unix interactive behavior, even when stdout and stderr are rerouted to a file. Per complaint from Tomas Vondra. The particular case he pointed out is new in HEAD, but issues of the same sort could arise in any branch with other error messages, so back-patch to all branches. I'm unsure whether we might not want to do this in other client programs as well. For the moment, just fix initdb.
2014-05-14Code review for recent changes in relcache.c.Tom Lane
rd_replidindex should be managed the same as rd_oidindex, and rd_keyattr and rd_idattr should be managed like rd_indexattr. Omissions in this area meant that the bitmapsets computed for rd_keyattr and rd_idattr would be leaked during any relcache flush, resulting in a slow but permanent leak in CacheMemoryContext. There was also a tiny probability of relcache entry corruption if we ran out of memory at just the wrong point in RelationGetIndexAttrBitmap. Otherwise, the fields were not zeroed where expected, which would not bother the code any AFAICS but could greatly confuse anyone examining the relcache entry while debugging. Also, create an API function RelationGetReplicaIndex rather than letting non-relcache code be intimate with the mechanisms underlying caching of that value (we won't even mention the memory leak there). Also, fix a relcache flush hazard identified by Andres Freund: RelationGetIndexAttrBitmap must not assume that rd_replidindex stays valid across index_open. The aspects of this involving rd_keyattr date back to 9.3, so back-patch those changes.
2014-05-14Make initdb throw error for bad locale values.Tom Lane
Historically we've printed a complaint for a bad locale setting, but then fallen back to the environment default. Per discussion, this is not such a great idea, because rectifying an erroneous locale choice post-initdb (perhaps long after data has been loaded) could be enormously expensive. Better to complain and give the user a chance to double-check things. The behavior was particularly bad if the bad setting came from environment variables rather than a bogus command-line switch: in that case not only was there a fallback to C/SQL_ASCII, but the printed complaint was quite unhelpful. It's hard to be entirely sure what variables setlocale looked at, but we can at least give a hint where the problem might be. Per a complaint from Tomas Vondra.
2014-05-13Fix harmless access to uninitialized memory.Heikki Linnakangas
When cache invalidations arrive while ri_LoadConstraintInfo() is busy filling a new cache entry, InvalidateConstraintCacheCallBack() compares the - not yet initialized - oidHashValue field with the to-be-invalidated hash value. To fix, check whether the entry is already marked as invalid. Andres Freund

2014-05-12Be more wary in choice of timezone names to test make_timestamptz with.Tom Lane
America/Metlakatla hasn't been in the IANA database all that long, so some installations might not have it. It does seem worthwhile to test with a fractional-minute GMT offset, but we can get that from almost any pre-1900 date; I chose Europe/Paris, whose LMT offset from Greenwich should be pretty darn well established. Also, assuming that Mars/Mons_Olympus will never be in the IANA database seems less than future-proof, so let's use a more fanciful location for the bad-zone-name check. Per complaint from Christoph Berg.
2014-05-12Ignore config.pl and buildenv.pl in src/tools/msvc.Tom Lane
config.pl and buildenv.pl can be used to customize build settings when using MSVC. They should never get committed into the common source tree. Back-patch to 9.0; it looks like the rules were different in 8.4. Michael Paquier
2014-05-12Free PQresult on error in pg_receivexlog.Heikki Linnakangas
The leak is fairly small and rare, but a leak nevertheless. Per Coverity report. Backpatch to 9.2, where pg_receivexlog was added. pg_basebackup shares the code, but it always exits on error, so there is no real leak.

2014-05-11Find postgresql.auto.conf in PGDATA even when postgresql.conf is elsewhere.Tom Lane
The original coding for ALTER SYSTEM made a fundamentally bogus assumption that postgresql.auto.conf could be sought relative to the main config file if we hadn't yet determined the value of data_directory. This fails for common arrangements with the config file elsewhere, as reported by Christoph Berg. The simplest fix is to not try to read postgresql.auto.conf until after SelectConfigFiles has chosen (and locked down) the data_directory setting. Because of the logic in ProcessConfigFile for handling resetting of GUCs that've been removed from the config file, we cannot easily read the main and auto config files separately; so this patch adopts a brute force approach of reading the main config file twice during postmaster startup. That's a tad ugly, but the actual time cost is likely to be negligible, and there's no time for a more invasive redesign before beta. With this patch, any attempt to set data_directory via ALTER SYSTEM will be silently ignored. It would probably be better to throw an error, but that can be dealt with later. This bug, however, would prevent any testing of ALTER SYSTEM by a significant fraction of the userbase, so it seems important to get it fixed before beta.
2014-05-11Rename jsonb_hash_ops to jsonb_path_ops.Tom Lane
There's no longer much pressure to switch the default GIN opclass for jsonb, but there was still some unhappiness with the name "jsonb_hash_ops", since hashing is no longer a distinguishing property of that opclass, and anyway it seems like a relatively minor detail. At the suggestion of Heikki Linnakangas, we'll use "jsonb_path_ops" instead; that captures the important characteristic that each index entry depends on the entire path from the document root to the indexed value. Also add a user-facing explanation of the implementation properties of these two opclasses.

2014-05-10Fix bug in lossy-page handling in GINHeikki Linnakangas
When returning rows from a bitmap, as done with partial match queries, we would get stuck in an infinite loop if the bitmap contained a lossy page reference. This bug is new in master, it was introduced by the patch to allow skipping items refuted by other entries in GIN scans. Report and fix by Alexander Korotkov
2014-05-09Fix broken allocation logic in recently-rewritten jsonb_util.c.Tom Lane
reserveFromBuffer() failed to consider the possibility that it needs to more-than-double the current buffer size. Beyond that, it seems likely that we'd someday need to worry about integer overflow of the buffer length variable. Rather than reinvent the logic that's already been debugged in stringinfo.c, let's go back to using that logic. We can still have the same targeted API, but we'll rely on stringinfo.c to manage reallocation. Per report from Alexander Korotkov.
2014-05-09Get rid of bogus dependency on typcategory in to_json() and friends.Tom Lane
These functions were relying on typcategory to identify arrays and composites, which is not reliable and not the normal way to do it. Using typcategory to identify boolean, numeric types, and json itself is also pretty questionable, though the code in those cases didn't seem to be at risk of anything worse than wrong output. Instead, use the standard lsyscache functions to identify arrays and composites, and rely on a direct check of the type OID for the other cases. In HEAD, also be sure to look through domains so that a domain is treated the same as its base type for conversions to JSON. However, this is a small behavioral change; given the lack of field complaints, we won't back-patch it. In passing, refactor so that there's only one copy of the code that decides which conversion strategy to apply, not multiple copies that could (and have) gotten out of sync.
2014-05-09Code review for logical decoding patch.Robert Haas
Post-commit review identified a number of places where addition was used instead of multiplication or memory wasn't zeroed where it should have been. This commit also fixes one case where a structure member was mis-initialized, and moves another memory allocation closer to the place where the allocated storage is used for clarity. Andres Freund
