2018-10-12Remove abstime, reltime, tinterval tables from old regression databases.Tom Lane
In the back branches, drop these tables after the regression tests are done with them. This fixes failures of cross-branch pg_upgrade testing caused by these types having been removed in v12. We do lose the ability to test dump/restore behavior with these types in the back branches, but the actual loss of code coverage seems to be nil given that there's nothing very special about these types.

2018-10-10Fix logical decoding error when system table w/ toast is repeatedly rewritten.Andres Freund
Repeatedly rewriting a mapped catalog table with VACUUM FULL or CLUSTER could cause logical decoding to fail with: ERROR, "could not map filenode \"%s\" to relation OID" To trigger the problem the rewritten catalog had to have live tuples with toasted columns. The problem was triggered as during catalog table rewrites the heap_insert() check that prevents logical decoding information to be emitted for system catalogs, failed to treat the new heap's toast table as a system catalog (because the new heap is not recognized as a catalog table via RelationIsLogicallyLogged()). The relmapper, in contrast to the normal catalog contents, does not contain historical information. After a single rewrite of a mapped table the new relation is known to the relmapper, but if the table is rewritten twice before logical decoding occurs, the relfilenode cannot be mapped to a relation anymore. Which then leads us to error out. This only happens for toast tables, because the main table contents aren't re-inserted with heap_insert(). The fix is simple, add a new heap_insert() flag that prevents logical decoding information from being emitted, and accept during decoding that there might not be tuple data for toast tables. Unfortunately that does not fix pre-existing logical decoding errors. Doing so would require not throwing an error when a filenode cannot be mapped to a relation during decoding, and that seems too likely to hide bugs. If it's crucial to fix decoding for an existing slot, temporarily changing the ERROR in ReorderBufferCommit() to a WARNING appears to be the best fix.

2018-10-08Add regression test for ATTACH PARTITIONMichael Paquier
This test case uses a SQL function as partitioning operator, whose evaluation results in the table's relcache being rebuilt partway through the execution of an ATTACH PARTITION command. It is extracted from 39808e8, which fixed a bug where this test case failed on master and REL_11_STABLE, but passed on REL_10_STABLE. The partitioning code has changed a lot during v11 development, so this makes sure that any patch applied to REL_10_STABLE fixing a partition-related bug does not break it again.

2018-10-06Fix event triggers for partitioned tablesAlvaro Herrera
Index DDL cascading on partitioned tables introduced a way for ALTER TABLE to be called reentrantly. This caused an an important deficiency in event trigger support to be exposed: on exiting the reentrant call, the alter table state object was clobbered, causing a crash when the outer alter table tries to finalize its processing. Fix the crash by creating a stack of event trigger state objects. There are still ways to cause things to misbehave (and probably other crashers) with more elaborate tricks, but at least it now doesn't crash in the obvious scenario. Backpatch to 9.5, where DDL deparsing of event triggers was introduced.

2018-10-06Propagate xactStartTimestamp and stmtStartTimestamp to parallel workers.Tom Lane
Previously, a worker process would establish values for these based on its own start time. In v10 and up, this can trivially be shown to cause misbehavior of transaction_timestamp(), timestamp_in(), and related functions which are (perhaps unwisely?) marked parallel-safe. It seems likely that other behaviors might diverge from what happens in the parent as well. It's not as trivial to demonstrate problems in 9.6 or 9.5, but I'm sure it's still possible, so back-patch to all branches containing parallel worker infrastructure. In HEAD only, mark now() and statement_timestamp() as parallel-safe (other affected functions already were). While in theory we could still squeeze that change into v11, it doesn't seem important enough to force a last-minute catversion bump.

2018-10-05Allow btree comparison functions to return INT_MIN.Tom Lane
Historically we forbade datatype-specific comparison functions from returning INT_MIN, so that it would be safe to invert the sort order just by negating the comparison result. However, this was never really safe for comparison functions that directly return the result of memcmp(), strcmp(), etc, as POSIX doesn't place any such restriction on those library functions. Buildfarm results show that at least on recent Linux on s390x, memcmp() actually does return INT_MIN sometimes, causing sort failures. The agreed-on answer is to remove this restriction and fix relevant call sites to not make such an assumption; code such as "res = -res" should be replaced by "INVERT_COMPARE_RESULT(res)". The same is needed in a few places that just directly negated the result of memcmp or strcmp. To help find places having this problem, I've also added a compile option to nbtcompare.c that causes some of the commonly used comparators to return INT_MIN/INT_MAX instead of their usual -1/+1. It'd likely be a good idea to have at least one buildfarm member running with "-DSTRESS_SORT_INT_MIN". That's far from a complete test of course, but it should help to prevent fresh introductions of such bugs. This is a longstanding portability hazard, so back-patch to all supported branches.

2018-10-02Set snprintf.c's maximum number of NL arguments to be 31.Tom Lane
Previously, we used the platform's NL_ARGMAX if any, otherwise 16. The trouble with this is that the platform value is hugely variable, ranging from the POSIX-minimum 9 to as much as 64K on recent FreeBSD. Values of more than a dozen or two have no practical use and slow down the initialization of the argtypes array. Worse, they cause snprintf.c to consume far more stack space than was the design intention, possibly resulting in stack-overflow crashes. Standardize on 31, which is comfortably more than we need (it looks like no existing translatable message has more than about 10 parameters). I chose that, not 32, to make the array sizes powers of 2, for some possible small gain in speed of the memset. The lack of reported crashes suggests that the set of platforms we use snprintf.c on (in released branches) may have no overlap with the set where NL_ARGMAX has unreasonably large values. But that's not entirely clear, so back-patch to all supported branches. Per report from Mateusz Guzik (via Thomas Munro).

2018-10-02Fix corner-case failures in has_foo_privilege() family of functions.Tom Lane
The variants of these functions that take numeric inputs (OIDs or column numbers) are supposed to return NULL rather than failing on bad input; this rule reduces problems with snapshot skew when queries apply the functions to all rows of a catalog. has_column_privilege() had careless handling of the case where the table OID didn't exist. You might get something like this: select has_column_privilege(9999,'nosuchcol','select'); ERROR: column "nosuchcol" of relation "(null)" does not exist or you might get a crash, depending on the platform's printf's response to a null string pointer. In addition, while applying the column-number variant to a dropped column returned NULL as desired, applying the column-name variant did not: select has_column_privilege('mytable','........pg.dropped.2........','select'); ERROR: column "........pg.dropped.2........" of relation "mytable" does not exist It seems better to make this case return NULL as well. Also, the OID-accepting variants of has_foreign_data_wrapper_privilege, has_server_privilege, and has_tablespace_privilege didn't follow the principle of returning NULL for nonexistent OIDs. Superusers got TRUE, everybody else got an error. Per investigation of Jaime Casanova's report of a new crash in HEAD. These behaviors have been like this for a long time, so back-patch to all supported branches.

2018-10-01Fix ALTER COLUMN TYPE to not open a relation without any lock.Tom Lane
If the column being modified is referenced by a foreign key constraint of another table, ALTER TABLE would open the other table (to re-parse the constraint's definition) without having first obtained a lock on it. This was evidently intentional, but that doesn't mean it's really safe. It's especially not safe in 9.3, which pre-dates use of MVCC scans for catalog reads, but even in current releases it doesn't seem like a good idea. We know we'll need AccessExclusiveLock shortly to drop the obsoleted constraint, so just get that a little sooner to close the hole. Per testing with a patch that complains if we open a relation without holding any lock on it. I don't plan to back-patch that patch, but we should close the holes it identifies in all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/2038.1538335244@sss.pgh.pa.us
2018-09-30Fix detection of the result type of strerror_r().Tom Lane
The method we've traditionally used, of redeclaring strerror_r() to see if the compiler complains of inconsistent declarations, turns out not to work reliably because some compilers only report a warning, not an error. Amazingly, this has gone undetected for years, even though it certainly breaks our detection of whether strerror_r succeeded. Let's instead test whether the compiler will take the result of strerror_r() as a switch() argument. It's possible this won't work universally either, but it's the best idea I could come up with on the spur of the moment. Back-patch of commit 751f532b9. Buildfarm results indicate that only icc-on-Linux actually has an issue here; perhaps the lack of field reports indicates that people don't build PG for production that way.

2018-09-28Fix assertion failure when updating full_page_writes for checkpointer.Amit Kapila
When the checkpointer receives a SIGHUP signal to update its configuration, it may need to update the shared memory for full_page_writes and need to write a WAL record for it. Now, it is quite possible that the XLOG machinery has not been initialized by that time and it will lead to assertion failure while doing that. Fix is to allow the initialization of the XLOG machinery outside critical section.

2018-09-28Fix WAL recycling on standbys depending on archive_modeMichael Paquier
A restart point or a checkpoint recycling WAL segments treats segments marked with neither ".done" (archiving is done) or ".ready" (segment is ready to be archived) in archive_status the same way for archive_mode being "on" or "always". While for a primary this is fine, a standby running a restart point with archive_mode = on would try to mark such a segment as ready for archiving, which is something that will never happen except after the standby is promoted. Note that this problem applies only to WAL segments coming from the local pg_wal the first time archive recovery is run. Segments part of a self-contained base backup are the most common case where this could happen, however even in this case normally the .done markers would be most likely part of the backup. Segments recovered from an archive are marked as .ready or .done by the startup process, and segments finished streaming are marked as such by the WAL receiver, so they are handled already.

2018-09-27Fix assorted bugs in pg_get_partition_constraintdef().Tom Lane
It failed if passed a nonexistent relation OID, or one that was a non-heap relation, because of blindly applying heap_open to a user-supplied OID. This is not OK behavior for a SQL-exposed function; we have a project policy that we should return NULL in such cases. Moreover, since pg_get_partition_constraintdef ought now to work on indexes, restricting it to heaps is flat wrong anyway. The underlying function generate_partition_qual() wasn't on board with indexes having partition quals either, nor for that matter with rels having relispartition set but yet null relpartbound. (One wonders whether the person who wrote the function comment blocks claiming that these functions allow a missing relpartbound had ever tested it.) Fix by testing relispartition before opening the rel, and by using relation_open not heap_open. (If any other relkinds ever grow the ability to have relispartition set, the code will work with them automatically.) Also, don't reject null relpartbound in generate_partition_qual. Back-patch to v11, and all but the null-relpartbound change to v10. (It's not really necessary to change generate_partition_qual at all in v10, but I thought s/heap_open/relation_open/ would be a good idea anyway just to keep the code in sync with later branches.)

2018-09-26Recurse to sequences on ownership change for all relkindsPeter Eisentraut
When a table ownership is changed, we must apply that also to any owned sequences. (Otherwise, it would result in a situation that cannot be restored, because linked sequences must have the same owner as the table.) But this was previously only applied to regular tables and materialized views. But it should also apply to at least foreign tables. This patch removes the relkind check altogether, because it doesn't save very much and just introduces the possibility of similar omissions.

2018-09-26Rework activation of commit timestamps during recoveryMichael Paquier
The activation and deactivation of commit timestamp tracking has not been handled consistently for a primary or standbys at recovery. The facility can be activated at three different moments of recovery: - The beginning, where a primary would use the GUC value for the decision-making, and where a standby relies on the contents of the control file. - When replaying a XLOG_PARAMETER_CHANGE record at redo. - The end, where both primary and standby rely on the GUC value. Using the GUC value for a primary at the beginning of recovery causes problems with commit timestamp access when doing crash recovery. Particularly, when replaying transaction commits, it could be possible that an attempt to read commit timestamps is done for a transaction which committed at a moment when track_commit_timestamp was disabled. A test case is added to reproduce the failure. The test works down to v11 as it takes advantage of transaction commits within procedures.

2018-09-25Make some fixes to allow building Postgres on macOS 10.14 ("Mojave").Tom Lane
Apple's latest rearrangements of the system-supplied headers have broken building of PL/Perl and PL/Tcl. The only practical way to fix PL/Tcl is to start using the "-isysroot" compiler flag to point to SDK-supplied headers, as Apple expects. We must also start distinguishing where to find Perl's headers from where to find its shared library; but that seems like good cleanup anyway. Extensions that formerly did something like -I$(perl_archlibexp)/CORE should now do -I$(perl_includedir)/CORE instead. perl_archlibexp is still the place to look for libperl.so, though. If for some reason you don't like the default -isysroot setting, you can override that by setting PG_SYSROOT in configure's arguments. I don't currently think people would need to do so, unless maybe for cross-version build purposes. In addition, teach configure where to find tclConfig.sh. Our traditional method of searching $auto_path hasn't worked for the last couple of macOS releases, and it now seems clear that Apple's not going to change that. The workaround of manually specifying --with-tclconfig was annoying already, but Mojave's made it a lot more so because the sysroot path now has to be included as well. Let's just wire the knowledge into configure instead. To avoid breaking builds against non-default Tcl installations (e.g. MacPorts) wherein the $auto_path method probably still works, arrange to try the additional case only after all else has failed. Back-patch to all supported versions, since at least the buildfarm cares about that. The changes are set up to not do anything on macOS releases that are old enough to not have functional sysroot trees.

2018-09-24Fix over-allocation of space for array_out()'s result string.Tom Lane
array_out overestimated the space needed for its output, possibly by a very substantial amount if the array is multi-dimensional, because of wrong order of operations in the loop that counts the number of curly-brace pairs needed. While the output string is normally short-lived, this could still cause problems in extreme cases. An additional minor error was that it counted one more delimiter than is actually needed. Repair those errors, add an Assert that the space is now correctly calculated, and make some minor improvements in the comments.

2018-09-23Initialize random() in bootstrap/stand-alone postgres and in initdb.Noah Misch
This removes a difference between the standard IsUnderPostmaster execution environment and that of --boot and --single. In a stand-alone backend, "SELECT random()" always started at the same seed. On a system capable of using posix shared memory, initdb could still conclude "selecting dynamic shared memory implementation ... sysv". Crashed --boot or --single postgres processes orphaned shared memory objects having names that collided with the not-actually-random names that initdb probed. The sysv fallback appeared after ten crashes of --boot or --single postgres. Since --boot and --single are rare in production use, systems used for PostgreSQL development are the principal candidate to notice this symptom. Back-patch to 9.3 (all supported versions).

2018-09-23Fix failure in WHERE CURRENT OF after rewinding the referenced cursor.Tom Lane
In a case where we have multiple relation-scan nodes in a cursor plan, such as a scan of an inheritance tree, it's possible to fetch from a given scan node, then rewind the cursor and fetch some row from an earlier scan node. In such a case, execCurrent.c mistakenly thought that the later scan node was still active, because ExecReScan hadn't done anything to make it look not-active. We'd get some sort of failure in the case of a SeqScan node, because the node's scan tuple slot would be pointing at a HeapTuple whose t_self gets reset to invalid by heapam.c. But it seems possible that for other relation scan node types we'd actually return a valid tuple TID to the caller, resulting in updating or deleting a tuple that shouldn't have been considered current. To fix, forcibly clear the ScanTupleSlot in ExecScanReScan. Another issue here, which seems only latent at the moment but could easily become a live bug in future, is that rewinding a cursor does not necessarily lead to *immediately* applying ExecReScan to every scan-level node in the plan tree. Upper-level nodes will think that they can postpone that call if their child node is already marked with chgParam flags. I don't see a way for that to happen today in a plan tree that's simple enough for execCurrent.c's search_plan_tree to understand, but that's one heck of a fragile assumption. So, add some logic in search_plan_tree to detect chgParam flags being set on nodes that it descended to/through, and assume that that means we should consider lower scan nodes to be logically reset even if their ReScan call hasn't actually happened yet. Per bug #15395 from Matvey Arye. This has been broken for a long time, so back-patch to all supported branches.

Several users of extensions complained of crashes in parallel workers that turned out to be due to syscache access from their _PG_init() functions. Reorder the initialization of parallel workers so that libraries are restored after the caches are initialized, and inside a transaction. This was reported in bug #15350 and elsewhere. We don't consider it to be a bug: extensions shouldn't do that, because then they can't be used in shared_preload_libraries.

2018-09-19Don't ignore locktable-full failures in StandbyAcquireAccessExclusiveLock.Tom Lane
Commit 37c54863c removed the code in StandbyAcquireAccessExclusiveLock that checked the return value of LockAcquireExtended. That created a bug, because it's still passing reportMemoryError = false to LockAcquireExtended, meaning that LOCKACQUIRE_NOT_AVAIL will be returned if we're out of shared memory for the lock table. In such a situation, the startup process would believe it had acquired an exclusive lock even though it hadn't, with potentially dire consequences. To fix, just drop the use of reportMemoryError = false, which allows us to simplify the call into a plain LockAcquire(). It's unclear that the locktable-full situation arises often enough that it's worth having a better recovery method than crash-and-restart. (I strongly suspect that the only reason the code path existed at all was that it was relatively simple to do in the pre-37c54863c implementation. But now it's not.) LockAcquireExtended's reportMemoryError parameter is now dead code and could be removed. I refrained from doing so, however, because there was some interest in resurrecting the behavior if we do get reports of locktable-full failures in the field. Also, it seems unwise to remove the parameter concurrently with shipping commit f868a8143, which added a parameter; if there are any third-party callers of LockAcquireExtended, we want them to get a wrong-number-of-parameters compile error rather than a possibly-silent misinterpretation of its last parameter.

2018-09-18Fix some probably-minor oversights in readfuncs.c.Tom Lane
The system expects TABLEFUNC RTEs to have coltypes, coltypmods, and colcollations lists, but outfuncs doesn't dump them and readfuncs doesn't restore them. This doesn't cause obvious failures, because the only things that look at those fields are expandRTE() and get_rte_attribute_type(), which are mostly used during parse analysis, before anything would've passed the parsetree through outfuncs/readfuncs. But expandRTE() is used in build_physical_tlist(), which means that that function will return a wrong answer for a TABLEFUNC RTE that came from a view. Very accidentally, this doesn't cause serious problems, because what it will return is NIL which callers will interpret as "couldn't build a physical tlist because of dropped columns". So you still get a plan that works, though it's marginally less efficient than it could be. There are also some other expandRTE() calls associated with transformation of whole-row Vars in the planner. I have been unable to exhibit misbehavior from that, and it may be unreachable in any case that anyone would care about ... but I'm not entirely convinced, so this seems like something we should back- patch a fix for. Fortunately, we can fix it without forcing a change of stored rules and a catversion bump, because we can just copy these lists from the subsidiary TableFunc object. readfuncs.c was also missing support for NamedTuplestoreScan plan nodes. This accidentally fails to break parallel query because a query using a named tuplestore would never be considered parallel-safe anyway. However, project policy since parallel query came in is that all plan node types should have outfuncs/readfuncs support, so this is clearly an oversight that should be repaired. Noted while fooling around with a patch to test outfuncs/readfuncs more thoroughly. That exposed some other issues too, but these are the only ones that seem worth back-patching.

2018-09-17Fix parsetree representation of XMLTABLE(XMLNAMESPACES(DEFAULT ...)).Tom Lane
The original coding for XMLTABLE thought it could represent a default namespace by a T_String Value node with a null string pointer. That's not okay, though; in particular outfuncs.c/readfuncs.c are not on board with such a representation, meaning you'll get a null pointer crash if you try to store a view or rule containing this construct. To fix, change the parsetree representation so that we have a NULL list element, instead of a bogus Value node. This isn't really a functional limitation since default XML namespaces aren't yet implemented in the executor; you'd just get "DEFAULT namespace is not supported" anyway. But crashes are not nice, so back-patch to v10 where this syntax was added. Ordinarily we'd consider a parsetree representation change to be un-backpatchable; but since existing releases would crash on the way to storing such constructs, there can't be any existing views/rules to be incompatible with. Per report from Andrey Lepikhov. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/3690074f-abd2-56a9-144a-aa5545d7a291@postgrespro.ru
2018-09-17Fix pgbench lexer's "continuation" rule to cope with Windows newlines.Tom Lane
Our general practice in frontend code is to accept input with either Unix-style newlines (\n) or DOS-style (\r\n). pgbench was mostly down with that, but its rule for line continuations (backslash-newline) was not. This had been masked on Windows buildfarm machines before commit 0ba06e0bf by use of Windows text mode to read files. We could have fixed it by forcing text mode again, but it's better to fix the parsing code so that Windows-style text files on Unix systems don't cause problems. Back-patch to v10 where pgbench grew line continuations. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/17194.1537191697@sss.pgh.pa.us
2018-09-16Add outfuncs.c support for RawStmt nodes.Tom Lane
I noticed while poking at a report from Andrey Lepikhov that the recent addition of RawStmt nodes at the top of raw parse trees makes it impossible to print any raw parse trees whatsoever, because outfuncs.c doesn't know RawStmt and hence fails to descend into it. While we generally lack outfuncs.c support for utility statements, there is reasonably complete support for what you can find in a raw SELECT statement. It was not my intention to make that all dead code ... so let's add support for RawStmt. Back-patch to v10 where RawStmt appeared.
2018-09-15Fix failure with initplans used conditionally during EvalPlanQual rechecks.Tom Lane
The EvalPlanQual machinery assumes that any initplans (that is, uncorrelated sub-selects) used during an EPQ recheck would have already been evaluated during the main query; this is implicit in the fact that execPlan pointers are not copied into the EPQ estate's es_param_exec_vals. But it's possible for that assumption to fail, if the initplan is only reached conditionally. For example, a sub-select inside a CASE expression could be reached during a recheck when it had not been previously, if the CASE test depends on a column that was just updated. This bug is old, appearing to date back to my rewrite of EvalPlanQual in commit 9f2ee8f28, but was not detected until Kyle Samson reported a case. To fix, force all not-yet-evaluated initplans used within the EPQ plan subtree to be evaluated at the start of the recheck, before entering the EPQ environment. This could be inefficient, if such an initplan is expensive and goes unused again during the recheck --- but that's piling one layer of improbability atop another. It doesn't seem worth adding more complexity to prevent that, at least not in the back branches. It was convenient to use the new-in-v11 ExecEvalParamExecParams function to implement this, but I didn't like either its name or the specifics of its API, so revise that. Back-patch all the way. Rather than rewrite the patch to avoid depending on bms_next_member() in the oldest branches, I chose to back-patch that function into 9.4 and 9.3. (This isn't the first time back-patches have needed that, and it exhausted my patience.) I also chose to back-patch some test cases added by commits 71404af2a and 342a1ffa2 into 9.4 and 9.3, so that the 9.x versions of eval-plan-qual.spec are all the same. Andrew Gierth diagnosed the problem and contributed the added test cases, though the actual code changes are by me.

2018-09-11Repair double-free in SP-GIST rescan (bug #15378)Andrew Gierth
spgrescan would first reset traversalCxt, and then traverse a potentially non-empty stack containing pointers to traversalValues which had been allocated in those contexts, freeing them a second time. This bug originates in commit ccd6eb49a where traversalValue was introduced. Repair by traversing the stack before the context reset; this isn't ideal, since it means doing retail pfree in a context that's about to be reset, but the freeing of a stack entry is also done in other places in the code during the scan so it's not worth trying to refactor it further. Regression test added. Backpatch to 9.6 where the problem was introduced.

2018-09-09Prevent mis-linking of src/port and src/common functions on *BSD.Tom Lane
On ELF-based platforms (and maybe others?) it's possible for a shared library, when dynamically loaded into the backend, to call the backend versions of src/port and src/common functions rather than the frontend versions that are actually linked into the shlib. This is the cause of bug #15367 from Jeremy Evans, and is likely to lead to more problems in future; it's accidental that we've failed to notice any bad effects up to now. The recommended way to fix this on ELF-based platforms is to use a linker "version script" that makes the shlib's versions of the functions local. (Apparently, -Bsymbolic would fix it as well, but with other side effects that we don't want.) Doing so has the additional benefit that we can make sure the shlib only exposes the symbols that are meant to be part of its API, and not ones that are just for cross-file references within the shlib. So we'd already been using a version script for libpq on popular platforms, but it's now apparent that it's necessary for correctness on every ELF-based platform. Hence, add appropriate logic to the openbsd, freebsd, and netbsd stanzas of Makefile.shlib; this is just a copy-and-paste from the linux stanza. There may be additional work to do if commit ed0cdf0e0 reveals that the problem exists elsewhere, but this is all that is known to be needed right now. Back-patch to v10 where SCRAM support came in. The problem is ancient, but analysis suggests that there were no really severe consequences in older branches. Hence, I won't take the risk of such a large change in the build process for older branches. In passing, remove a rather opaque comment about -Bsymbolic; I don't think it's very on-point about why we don't use that, if indeed that's what it's talking about at all. Patch by me; thanks to Andrew Gierth for helping to diagnose the problem, and for additional testing. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/153626613985.23143.4743626885618266803@wrigleys.postgresql.org

2018-09-07Save/restore SPI's global variables in SPI_connect() and SPI_finish().Tom Lane
This patch removes two sources of interference between nominally independent functions when one SPI-using function calls another, perhaps without knowing that it does so. Chapman Flack pointed out that xml.c's query_to_xml_internal() expects SPI_tuptable and SPI_processed to stay valid across datatype output function calls; but it's possible that such a call could involve re-entrant use of SPI. It seems likely that there are similar hazards elsewhere, if not in the core code then in third-party SPI users. Previously SPI_finish() reset SPI's API globals to zeroes/nulls, which would typically make for a crash in such a situation. Restoring them to the values they had at SPI_connect() seems like a considerably more useful behavior, and it still meets the design goal of not leaving any dangling pointers to tuple tables of the function being exited. Also, cause SPI_connect() to reset these variables to zeroes/nulls after saving them. This prevents interference in the opposite direction: it's possible that a SPI-using function that's only ever been tested standalone contains assumptions that these variables start out as zeroes. That was the case as long as you were the outermost SPI user, but not so much for an inner user. Now it's consistent. Report and fix suggestion by Chapman Flack, actual patch by me.

2018-09-07Fix longstanding recursion hazard in sinval message processing.Tom Lane
LockRelationOid and sibling routines supposed that, if our session already holds the lock they were asked to acquire, they could skip calling AcceptInvalidationMessages on the grounds that we must have already read any remote sinval messages issued against the relation being locked. This is normally true, but there's a critical special case where it's not: processing inside AcceptInvalidationMessages might attempt to access system relations, resulting in a recursive call to acquire a relation lock. Hence, if the outer call had acquired that same system catalog lock, we'd fall through, despite the possibility that there's an as-yet-unread sinval message for that system catalog. This could, for example, result in failure to access a system catalog or index that had just been processed by VACUUM FULL. This is the explanation for buildfarm failures we've been seeing intermittently for the past three months. The bug is far older than that, but commits a54e1f158 et al added a new recursion case within AcceptInvalidationMessages that is apparently easier to hit than any previous case. To fix this, we must not skip calling AcceptInvalidationMessages until we have *finished* a call to it since acquiring a relation lock, not merely acquired the lock. (There's already adequate logic inside AcceptInvalidationMessages to deal with being called recursively.) Fortunately, we can implement that at trivial cost, by adding a flag to LOCALLOCK hashtable entries that tracks whether we know we have completed such a call. There is an API hazard added by this patch for external callers of LockAcquire: if anything is testing for LOCKACQUIRE_ALREADY_HELD, it might be fooled by the new return code LOCKACQUIRE_ALREADY_CLEAR into thinking the lock wasn't already held. This should be a fail-soft condition, though, unless something very bizarre is being done in response to the test. Also, I added an additional output argument to LockAcquireExtended, assuming that that probably isn't called by any outside code given the very limited usefulness of its additional functionality. Back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/12259.1532117714@sss.pgh.pa.us
2018-09-06Fix the overrun in hash index metapage for smaller block sizes.Amit Kapila
The commit 620b49a1 changed the value of HASH_MAX_BITMAPS with the intent to allow many non-unique values in hash indexes without worrying to reach the limit of the number of overflow pages. At that time, this didn't occur to us that it can overrun the block for smaller block sizes. Choose the value of HASH_MAX_BITMAPS based on BLCKSZ such that it gives the same answer as now for the cases where the overrun doesn't occur, and some other sufficiently-value for the cases where an overrun currently does occur. This allows us not to change the behavior in any case that currently works, so there's really no reason for a HASH_VERSION bump.
