2015-06-26Remove unnecessary NULL test.Robert Haas
Spotted by Coverity and reported by Michael Paquier. Per discussion, we don't necessarily care about making Coverity happy in all such instances, but we can go ahead and change them where it otherwise seems to improve the code.
2015-06-26Don't warn about creating temporary or unlogged hash indexes.Robert Haas
Warning people that no WAL-logging will be done doesn't make sense in this case. Michael Paquier
2015-06-26Reduce log level for background worker events from LOG to DEBUG1.Robert Haas
Per discussion, LOG is just too chatty for something that will happen as routinely as this. Pavel Stehule
2015-06-26Fix the fallback memory barrier implementation to be reentrant.Andres Freund
This was essentially "broken" since 0c8eda62; but until more recently (14e8803f) barriers usage in signal handlers was infrequent. The failure to be reentrant was noticed because the test_shm_mq, which uses memory barriers at a high frequency, occasionally got stuck on some solaris buildfarm animals. Turns out, those machines use sun studio 12.1, which doesn't yet have efficient memory barrier support. A machine with a newer sun studio did not fail. Forcing the barrier fallback to be used on x86 allows to reproduce the problem. The new fallback is to use kill(PostmasterPid, 0) based on the theory that that'll always imply a barrier due to checking the liveliness of PostmasterPid on systems old enough to need fallback support. It's hard to come up with a good and performant fallback. I'm not backpatching this for now - the problem isn't active in the back branches, and we haven't backpatched barrier changes for now. Additionally master looks entirely different than the back branches due to the new atomics abstraction. It seems better to let this rest in master, where the non-reentrancy actively causes a problem, and then consider backpatching. Found-By: Robert Haas Discussion: 55626265.3060800@dunslane.net
2015-06-26Improve handling of CustomPath/CustomPlan(State) children.Robert Haas
Allow CustomPath to have a list of paths, CustomPlan a list of plans, and CustomPlanState a list of planstates known to the core system, so that custom path/plan providers can more reasonably use this infrastructure for nodes with multiple children. KaiGai Kohei, per a design suggestion from Tom Lane, with some further kibitzing by me.
2015-06-26Fix a couple of bugs with wal_log_hints.Heikki Linnakangas
1. Replay of the WAL record for setting a bit in the visibility map contained an assertion that a full-page image of that record type can only occur with checksums enabled. But it can also happen with wal_log_hints, so remove the assertion. Unlike checksums, wal_log_hints can be changed on the fly, so it would be complicated to figure out if it was enabled at the time that the WAL record was generated. 2. wal_log_hints has the same effect on the locking needed to read the LSN of a page as data checksums. BufferGetLSNAtomic() didn't get the memo. Backpatch to 9.4, where wal_log_hints was added.
2015-06-25Allow background workers to connect to no particular database.Robert Haas
The documentation claims that this is supported, but it didn't actually work. Fix that. Reported by Pavel Stehule; patch by me.
2015-06-25Fix the logic for putting relations into the relcache init file.Tom Lane
Commit f3b5565dd4e59576be4c772da364704863e6a835 was a couple of bricks shy of a load; specifically, it missed putting pg_trigger_tgrelid_tgname_index into the relcache init file, because that index is not used by any syscache. However, we have historically nailed that index into cache for performance reasons. The upshot was that load_relcache_init_file always decided that the init file was busted and silently ignored it, resulting in a significant hit to backend startup speed. To fix, reinstantiate RelationIdIsInInitFile() as a wrapper around RelationSupportsSysCache(), which can know about additional relations that should be in the init file despite being unknown to syscache.c. Also install some guards against future mistakes of this type: make write_relcache_init_file Assert that all nailed relations get written to the init file, and make load_relcache_init_file emit a WARNING if it takes the "wrong number of nailed relations" exit path. Now that we remove the init files during postmaster startup, that case should never occur in the field, even if we are starting a minor-version update that added or removed rels from the nailed set. So the warning shouldn't ever be seen by end users, but it will show up in the regression tests if somebody breaks this logic. Back-patch to all supported branches, like the previous commit.

2015-06-22Improve inheritance_planner()'s performance for large inheritance sets.Tom Lane
Commit c03ad5602f529787968fa3201b35c119bbc6d782 introduced a planner performance regression for UPDATE/DELETE on large inheritance sets. It required copying the append_rel_list (which is of size proportional to the number of inherited tables) once for each inherited table, thus resulting in O(N^2) time and memory consumption. While it's difficult to avoid that in general, the extra work only has to be done for append_rel_list entries that actually reference subquery RTEs, which inheritance-set entries will not. So we can buy back essentially all of the loss in cases without subqueries in FROM; and even for those, the added work is mainly proportional to the number of UNION ALL subqueries. Back-patch to 9.2, like the previous commit. Tom Lane and Dean Rasheed, per a complaint from Thomas Munro.

2015-06-21Truncate strings in tarCreateHeader() with strlcpy(), not sprintf().Noah Misch
This supplements the GNU libc bug #6530 workarounds introduced in commit 54cd4f04576833abc394e131288bf3dd7dcf4806. On affected systems, a tar-format pg_basebackup failed when some filename beneath the data directory was not valid character data in the postmaster/walsender locale. Back-patch to 9.1, where pg_basebackup was introduced. Extant, bug-prone conversion specifications receive only ASCII bytes or involve low-importance messages.

2015-06-21Improve multixact emergency autovacuum logic.Andres Freund
Previously autovacuum was not necessarily triggered if space in the members slru got tight. The first problem was that the signalling was tied to values in the offsets slru, but members can advance much faster. Thats especially a problem if old sessions had been around that previously prevented the multixact horizon to increase. Secondly the skipping logic doesn't work if the database was restarted after autovacuum was triggered - that knowledge is not preserved across restart. This is especially a problem because it's a common panic-reaction to restart the database if it gets slow to anti-wraparound vacuums. Fix the first problem by separating the logic for members from offsets. Trigger autovacuum whenever a multixact crosses a segment boundary, as the current member offset increases in irregular values, so we can't use a simple modulo logic as for offsets. Add a stopgap for the second problem, by signalling autovacuum whenver ERRORing out because of boundaries. Discussion: 20150608163707.GD20772@alap3.anarazel.de Backpatch into 9.3, where it became more likely that multixacts wrap around.
2015-06-21Add missing check for wal_debug GUC.Andres Freund
9a20a9b2 added a new elog(), enabled when WAL_DEBUG is defined. The other WAL_DEBUG dependant messages check for the wal_debug GUC, but this one did not. While at it replace 'upto' with 'up to'. Discussion: 20150610110253.GF3832@alap3.anarazel.de Backpatch to 9.4, the first release containing 9a20a9b2.

2015-06-20Fix failure to copy setlocale() return value.Noah Misch
POSIX permits setlocale() calls to invalidate any previous setlocale() return values, but commit 5f538ad004aa00cf0881f179f0cde789aad4f47e neglected to account for setlocale(LC_CTYPE, NULL) doing so. The effect was to set the LC_CTYPE environment variable to an unintended value. pg_perm_setlocale() sets this variable to assist PL/Perl; without it, Perl would undo PostgreSQL's locale settings. The known-affected configurations are 32-bit, release builds using Visual Studio 2012 or Visual Studio 2013. Visual Studio 2010 is unaffected, as were all buildfarm-attested configurations. In principle, this bug could leave the wrong LC_CTYPE in effect after PL/Perl use, which could in turn facilitate problems like corrupt tsvector datums. No known platform experiences that consequence, because PL/Perl on Windows does not use this environment variable. The bug has been user-visible, as early postmaster failure, on systems with Windows ANSI code page set to CP936 for "Chinese (Simplified, PRC)" and probably on systems using other multibyte code pages. (SetEnvironmentVariable() rejects values containing character data not valid under the Windows ANSI code page.) Back-patch to 9.4, where the faulty commit first appeared. Reported by Didi Hu and 林鹏程. Reviewed by Tom Lane, though this fix strategy was not his first choice.
2015-06-20Revert "Detect setlocale(LC_CTYPE, NULL) clobbering previous return values."Noah Misch
This reverts commit b76e76be460a240e99c33f6fb470dd1d5fe01a2a. The buildfarm yielded no related failures.

2015-06-19In immediate shutdown, postmaster should not exit till children are gone.Tom Lane
This adjusts commit 82233ce7ea42d6ba519aaec63008aff49da6c7af so that the postmaster does not exit until all its child processes have exited, even if the 5-second timeout elapses and we have to send SIGKILL. There is no great value in having the postmaster process quit sooner, and doing so can mislead onlookers into thinking that the cluster is fully terminated when actually some child processes still survive. This effect might explain recent test failures on buildfarm member hamster, wherein we failed to restart a cluster just after shutting it down with "pg_ctl stop -m immediate". I also did a bit of code review/beautification, including fixing a faulty use of the Max() macro on a volatile expression. Back-patch to 9.4. In older branches, the postmaster never waited for children to exit during immediate shutdowns, and changing that would be too much of a behavioral change.
2015-06-19Clamp autovacuum launcher sleep time to 5 minutesAlvaro Herrera
This avoids the problem that it might go to sleep for an unreasonable amount of time in unusual conditions like the server clock moving backwards an unreasonable amount of time. (Simply moving the server clock forward again doesn't solve the problem unless you wake up the autovacuum launcher manually, say by sending it SIGHUP). Per trouble report from Prakash Itnal in https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CAHC5u79-UqbapAABH2t4Rh2eYdyge0Zid-X=Xz-ZWZCBK42S0Q@mail.gmail.com Analyzed independently by Haribabu Kommi and Tom Lane.

2015-06-19Fix corner case in autovacuum-forcing logic for multixact wraparound.Robert Haas
Since find_multixact_start() relies on SimpleLruDoesPhysicalPageExist(), and that function looks only at the on-disk state, it's possible for it to fail to find a page that exists in the in-memory SLRU that has not been written yet. If that happens, SetOffsetVacuumLimit() will erroneously decide to force emergency autovacuuming immediately. We should probably fix find_multixact_start() to consider the data cached in memory as well as on the on-disk state, but that's no excuse for SetOffsetVacuumLimit() to be stupid about the case where it can no longer read the value after having previously succeeded in doing so. Report by Andres Freund.

2015-06-17Detect setlocale(LC_CTYPE, NULL) clobbering previous return values.Noah Misch
POSIX permits setlocale() calls to invalidate any previous setlocale() return values. Commit 5f538ad004aa00cf0881f179f0cde789aad4f47e neglected to account for that. In advance of fixing that bug, switch to failing hard on affected configurations. This is a planned temporary commit to assay buildfarm-represented configurations.

2015-06-12Fix "path" infrastructure bug affecting jsonb_set()Andrew Dunstan
jsonb_set() and other clients of the setPathArray() utility function could get spurious results when an array integer subscript is provided that is not within the range of int. To fix, ensure that the value returned by strtol() within setPathArray() is within the range of int; when it isn't, assume an invalid input in line with existing, similar cases. The path-orientated operators that appeared in PostgreSQL 9.3 and 9.4 do not call setPathArray(), and already independently take this precaution, so no change there. Peter Geoghegan
2015-06-12Fix failure to cover scalar-vs-rowtype cases in exec_stmt_return().Tom Lane
In commit 9e3ad1aac52454569393a947c06be0d301749362 I modified plpgsql to use exec_stmt_return's simple-variables fast path in more cases. However, I overlooked that there are really two different return conventions in use here, depending on whether estate->retistuple is true, and the existing fast-path code had only bothered to handle one of them. So trying to return a scalar in a function returning composite, or vice versa, could lead to unexpected error messages (typically "cache lookup failed for type 0") or to a null-pointer-dereference crash. In the DTYPE_VAR case, we can just throw error if retistuple is true, corresponding to what happens in the general-expression code path that was being used previously. (Perhaps someday both of these code paths should attempt a coercion, but today is not that day.) In the REC and ROW cases, just hand the problem to exec_eval_datum() when not retistuple. Also clean up the ROW coding slightly so it looks more like exec_eval_datum(). The previous commit also caused exec_stmt_return_next() to be used in more cases, but that code seems to be OK as-is. Per off-list report from Serge Rielau. This bug is new in 9.5 so no need to back-patch.
2015-06-12Improve error message and hint for ALTER COLUMN TYPE can't-cast failure.Tom Lane
We already tried to improve this once, but the "improved" text was rather off-target if you had provided a USING clause. Also, it seems helpful to provide the exact text of a suggested USING clause, so users can just copy-and-paste it when needed. Per complaint from Keith Rarick and a suggestion from Merlin Moncure. Back-patch to 9.2 where the current wording was adopted.
2015-06-12Make postmaster restart archiver soon after it dies, even during recovery.Fujii Masao
After the archiver dies, postmaster tries to start a new one immediately. But previously this could happen only while server was running normally even though archiving was enabled always (i.e., archive_mode was set to always). So the archiver running during recovery could not restart soon after it died. This is an oversight in commit ffd3774. This commit changes reaper(), postmaster's signal handler to cleanup after a child process dies, so that it tries to a new archiver even during recovery if necessary. Patch by me. Review by Alvaro Herrera.

2015-06-11Rename jsonb - text[] operator to #- to avoid ambiguity.Andrew Dunstan
Following recent discussion on -hackers. The underlying function is also renamed to jsonb_delete_path. The regression tests now don't need ugly type casts to avoid the ambiguity, so they are also removed. Catalog version bumped.

2015-06-09Refactor WAL segment copying code.Fujii Masao
* Remove unused argument "dstfname" and related code from XLogFileCopy(). * Previously XLogFileCopy() returned a pstrdup'd string so that InstallXLogFileSegment() used it later. Since the pstrdup'd string was never free'd, there could be a risk of memory leak. It was almost harmless because the startup process exited just after calling XLogFileCopy(), it existed. This commit changes XLogFileCopy() so that it directly calls InstallXLogFileSegment() and doesn't call pstrdup() at all. Which fixes that memory leak problem. * Extend InstallXLogFileSegment() so that the caller can specify the log level. Which allows us to emit an error when InstallXLogFileSegment() fails a disk file access like link() and rename(). Previously it was always logged with LOG level and additionally needed to be logged with ERROR when we wanted to treat it as an error. Michael Paquier
2015-06-08Allow HotStandbyActiveInReplay() to be called in single user mode.Andres Freund
HotStandbyActiveInReplay, introduced in 061b079f, only allowed WAL replay to happen in the startup process, missing the single user case. This buglet is fairly harmless as it only causes problems when single user mode in an assertion enabled build is used to replay a btree vacuum record. Backpatch to 9.2. 061b079f was backpatched further, but the assertion was not.
2015-06-07Desupport jsonb subscript deletion on objectsAndrew Dunstan
Supporting deletion of JSON pairs within jsonb objects using an array-style integer subscript allowed for surprising outcomes. This was mostly due to the implementation-defined ordering of pairs within objects for jsonb. It also seems desirable to make jsonb integer subscript deletion consistent with the 9.4 era general purpose integer subscripting operator for jsonb (although that operator returns NULL when an object is encountered, while we prefer here to throw an error). Peter Geoghegan, following discussion on -hackers.
