2015-10-15Fix NULL handling in datum_to_jsonb().Tom Lane
The function failed to adhere to its specification that the "tcategory" argument should not be examined when the input value is NULL. This resulted in a crash in some cases. Per bug #13680 from Boyko Yordanov. In passing, re-pgindent some recent changes in jsonb.c, and fix a rather ungrammatical comment. Diagnosis and patch by Michael Paquier, cosmetic changes by me
2015-10-15Allow FDWs to push down quals without breaking EvalPlanQual rechecks.Robert Haas
This fixes a long-standing bug which was discovered while investigating the interaction between the new join pushdown code and the EvalPlanQual machinery: if a ForeignScan appears on the inner side of a paramaterized nestloop, an EPQ recheck would re-return the original tuple even if it no longer satisfied the pushed-down quals due to changed parameter values. This fix adds a new member to ForeignScan and ForeignScanState and a new argument to make_foreignscan, and requires changes to FDWs which push down quals to populate that new argument with a list of quals they have chosen to push down. Therefore, I'm only back-patching to 9.5, even though the bug is not new in 9.5. Etsuro Fujita, reviewed by me and by Kyotaro Horiguchi.

2015-10-13On Windows, ensure shared memory handle gets closed if not being used.Tom Lane
Postmaster child processes that aren't supposed to be attached to shared memory were not bothering to close the shared memory mapping handle they inherit from the postmaster process. That's mostly harmless, since the handle vanishes anyway when the child process exits -- but the syslogger process, if used, doesn't get killed and restarted during recovery from a backend crash. That meant that Windows doesn't see the shared memory mapping as becoming free, so it doesn't delete it and the postmaster is unable to create a new one, resulting in failure to recover from crashes whenever logging_collector is turned on. Per report from Dmitry Vasilyev. It's a bit astonishing that we'd not figured this out long ago, since it's been broken from the very beginnings of out native Windows support; probably some previously-unexplained trouble reports trace to this. A secondary problem is that on Cygwin (perhaps only in older versions?), exec() may not detach from the shared memory segment after all, in which case these child processes did remain attached to shared memory, posing the risk of an unexpected shared memory clobber if they went off the rails somehow. That may be a long-gone bug, but we can deal with it now if it's still live, by detaching within the infrastructure introduced here to deal with closing the handle. Back-patch to all supported branches. Tom Lane and Amit Kapila

2015-10-12Cause TestLib.pm to define $windows_os in all branches.Tom Lane
Back-port of a part of commit 690ed2b76ab91eb79ea04ee2bfbdc8a2693f2a37 that I'd depended on without realizing that it was only added recently. Since it seems entirely likely that other such tests will need to be back-patched in future, providing the flag seems like a better answer than just putting a test in-line. Per buildfarm.
2015-10-12Fix "pg_ctl start -w" to test child process status directly.Tom Lane
pg_ctl start with -w previously relied on a heuristic that the postmaster would surely always manage to create postmaster.pid within five seconds. Unfortunately, that fails much more often than we would like on some of the slower, more heavily loaded buildfarm members. We have known for quite some time that we could remove the need for that heuristic on Unix by using fork/exec instead of system() to launch the postmaster. This allows us to know the exact PID of the postmaster, which allows near-certain verification that the postmaster.pid file is the one we want and not a leftover, and it also lets us use waitpid() to detect reliably whether the child postmaster has exited or not. What was blocking this change was not wanting to rewrite the Windows version of start_postmaster() to avoid use of CMD.EXE. That's doable in theory but would require fooling about with stdout/stderr redirection, and getting the handling of quote-containing postmaster switches to stay the same might be rather ticklish. However, we realized that we don't have to do that to fix the problem, because we can test whether the shell process has exited as a proxy for whether the postmaster is still alive. That doesn't allow an exact check of the PID in postmaster.pid, but we're no worse off than before in that respect; and we do get to get rid of the heuristic about how long the postmaster might take to create postmaster.pid. On Unix, this change means that a second "pg_ctl start -w" immediately after another such command will now reliably fail, whereas previously it would succeed if done within two seconds of the earlier command. Since that's a saner behavior anyway, it's fine. On Windows, the case can still succeed within the same time window, since pg_ctl can't tell that the earlier postmaster's postmaster.pid isn't the pidfile it is looking for. To ensure stable test results on Windows, we can insert a short sleep into the test script for pg_ctl, ensuring that the existing pidfile looks stale. This hack can be removed if we ever do rewrite start_postmaster(), but that no longer seems like a high-priority thing to do. Back-patch to all supported versions, both because the current behavior is buggy and because we must do that if we want the buildfarm failures to go away. Tom Lane and Michael Paquier
2015-10-12Use JsonbIteratorToken consistently in automatic variable declarations.Noah Misch

2015-10-09Handle append_rel_list in expand_security_qualStephen Frost
During expand_security_quals, we take the security barrier quals on an RTE and create a subquery which evaluates the quals. During this, we have to replace any variables in the outer query which refer to the original RTE with references to the columns from the subquery. We need to also perform that replacement for any Vars in the append_rel_list. Only backpatching to 9.5 as we only go through this process in 9.4 for auto-updatable security barrier views, which UNION ALL queries aren't. Discovered by Haribabu Kommi Patch by Dean Rasheed
2015-10-09Fix uninitialized-variable bug.Tom Lane
For some reason, neither of the compilers I usually use noticed the uninitialized-variable problem I introduced in commit 7e2a18a9161fee7e. That's hardly a good enough excuse though. Committing with brown paper bag on head. In addition to putting the operations in the right order, move the declaration of "now" inside the loop; there's no need for it to be outside, and that does wake up older gcc enough to notice any similar future problem. Back-patch to 9.4; earlier versions lack the time-to-SIGKILL stanza so there's no bug.
2015-10-07Factor out encoding specific tests for jsonAndrew Dunstan

2015-10-06Perform an immediate shutdown if the postmaster.pid file is removed.Tom Lane
The postmaster now checks every minute or so (worst case, at most two minutes) that postmaster.pid is still there and still contains its own PID. If not, it performs an immediate shutdown, as though it had received SIGQUIT. The original goal behind this change was to ensure that failed buildfarm runs would get fully cleaned up, even if the test scripts had left a postmaster running, which is not an infrequent occurrence. When the buildfarm script removes a test postmaster's $PGDATA directory, its next check on postmaster.pid will fail and cause it to exit. Previously, manual intervention was often needed to get rid of such orphaned postmasters, since they'd block new test postmasters from obtaining the expected socket address. However, by checking postmaster.pid and not something else, we can provide additional robustness: manual removal of postmaster.pid is a frequent DBA mistake, and now we can at least limit the damage that will ensue if a new postmaster is started while the old one is still alive. Back-patch to all supported branches, since we won't get the desired improvement in buildfarm reliability otherwise.

2015-10-05Add regression tests for INSERT/UPDATE+RETURNINGStephen Frost
This adds regressions tests which are specific to INSERT+RETURNING and UPDATE+RETURNING to ensure that the SELECT policies are added as WithCheckOptions (and should therefore throw an error when the policy is violated). Per suggestion from Andres. Back-patch to 9.5 as the prior commit was.
2015-10-05Prevent stack overflow in query-type functions.Noah Misch
The tsquery, ltxtquery and query_int data types have a common ancestor. Having acquired check_stack_depth() calls independently, each was missing at least one call. Back-patch to 9.0 (all supported versions).
2015-10-05Prevent stack overflow in container-type functions.Noah Misch
A range type can name another range type as its subtype, and a record type can bear a column of another record type. Consequently, functions like range_cmp() and record_recv() are recursive. Functions at risk include operator family members and referents of pg_type regproc columns. Treat as recursive any such function that looks up and calls the same-purpose function for a record column type or the range subtype. Back-patch to 9.0 (all supported versions). An array type's element type is never itself an array type, so array functions are unaffected. Recursion depth proportional to array dimensionality, found in array_dim_to_jsonb(), is fine thanks to MAXDIM.
2015-10-05Prevent stack overflow in json-related functions.Noah Misch
Sufficiently-deep recursion heretofore elicited a SIGSEGV. If an application constructs PostgreSQL json or jsonb values from arbitrary user input, application users could have exploited this to terminate all active database connections. That applies to 9.3, where the json parser adopted recursive descent, and later versions. Only row_to_json() and array_to_json() were at risk in 9.2, both in a non-security capacity. Back-patch to 9.2, where the json type was introduced. Oskari Saarenmaa, reviewed by Michael Paquier. Security: CVE-2015-5289
2015-10-05Apply SELECT policies in INSERT/UPDATE+RETURNINGStephen Frost
Similar to 7d8db3e, given that INSERT+RETURNING requires SELECT rights on the table, apply the SELECT policies as WCOs to the tuples being inserted. Apply the same logic to UPDATE+RETURNING. Back-patch to 9.5 where RLS was added.
2015-10-05Do not write out WCOs in QueryStephen Frost
The WithCheckOptions list in Query are only populated during rewrite and do not need to be written out or read in as part of a Query structure. Further, move WithCheckOptions to the bottom and add comments to clarify that it is only populated during rewrite. Back-patch to 9.5 with a catversion bump, as we are still in alpha.
2015-10-05Re-Align *_freeze_max_age reloption limits with corresponding GUC limits.Andres Freund
In 020235a5754 I lowered the autovacuum_*freeze_max_age minimums to allow for easier testing of wraparounds. I did not touch the corresponding per-table limits. While those don't matter for the purpose of wraparound, it seems more consistent to lower them as well. It's noteworthy that the previous reloption lower limit for autovacuum_multixact_freeze_max_age was too high by one magnitude, even before 020235a5754. Discussion: 26377.1443105453@sss.pgh.pa.us Backpatch: back to 9.0 (in parts), like the prior patch
2015-10-04ALTER TABLE .. FORCE ROW LEVEL SECURITYStephen Frost
To allow users to force RLS to always be applied, even for table owners, add ALTER TABLE .. FORCE ROW LEVEL SECURITY. row_security=off overrides FORCE ROW LEVEL SECURITY, to ensure pg_dump output is complete (by default). Also add SECURITY_NOFORCE_RLS context to avoid data corruption when ALTER TABLE .. FORCE ROW SECURITY is being used. The SECURITY_NOFORCE_RLS security context is used only during referential integrity checks and is only considered in check_enable_rls() after we have already checked that the current user is the owner of the relation (which should always be the case during referential integrity checks). Back-patch to 9.5 where RLS was added.
2015-10-04Further twiddling of nodeHash.c hashtable sizing calculation.Tom Lane
On reflection, the submitted patch didn't really work to prevent the request size from exceeding MaxAllocSize, because of the fact that we'd happily round nbuckets up to the next power of 2 after we'd limited it to max_pointers. The simplest way to enforce the limit correctly is to round max_pointers down to a power of 2 when it isn't one already. (Note that the constraint to INT_MAX / 2, if it were doing anything useful at all, is properly applied after that.)
2015-10-04Fix some issues in new hashtable size calculations in nodeHash.c.Tom Lane
Limit the size of the hashtable pointer array to not more than MaxAllocSize, per reports from Kouhei Kaigai and others of "invalid memory alloc request size" failures. There was discussion of allowing the array to get larger than that by using the "huge" palloc API, but so far no proof that that is actually a good idea, and at this point in the 9.5 cycle major changes from old behavior don't seem like the way to go. Fix a rather serious secondary bug in the new code, which was that it didn't ensure nbuckets remained a power of 2 when recomputing it for the multiple-batch case. Clean up sloppy division of labor between ExecHashIncreaseNumBuckets and its sole call site.
2015-10-04Disallow invalid path elements in jsonb_setAndrew Dunstan

2015-10-03Make BYPASSRLS behave like superuser RLS bypass.Noah Misch
Specifically, make its effect independent from the row_security GUC, and make it affect permission checks pertinent to views the BYPASSRLS role owns. The row_security GUC thereby ceases to change successful-query behavior; it can only make a query fail with an error. Back-patch to 9.5, where BYPASSRLS was introduced.

2015-10-03Fix several bugs related to ON CONFLICT's EXCLUDED pseudo relation.Andres Freund
Four related issues: 1) attnos/varnos/resnos for EXCLUDED were out of sync when a column after one dropped in the underlying relation was referenced. 2) References to whole-row variables (i.e. EXCLUDED.*) lead to errors. 3) It was possible to reference system columns in the EXCLUDED pseudo relations, even though they would not have valid contents. 4) References to EXCLUDED were rewritten by the RLS machinery, as EXCLUDED was treated as if it were the underlying relation. To fix the first two issues, generate the excluded targetlist with dropped columns in mind and add an entry for whole row variables. Instead of unconditionally adding a wholerow entry we could pull up the expression if needed, but doing it unconditionally seems simpler. The wholerow entry is only really needed for ruleutils/EXPLAIN support anyway. The remaining two issues are addressed by changing the EXCLUDED RTE to have relkind = composite. That fits with EXCLUDED not actually being a real relation, and allows to treat it differently in the relevant places. scanRTEForColumn now skips looking up system columns when the RTE has a composite relkind; fireRIRrules() already had a corresponding check, thereby preventing RLS expansion on EXCLUDED. Also add tests for these issues, and improve a few comments around excluded handling in setrefs.c.

2015-10-02Add recursion depth protection to LIKE matching.Tom Lane
Since MatchText() recurses, it could in principle be driven to stack overflow, although quite a long pattern would be needed.
2015-10-02Add recursion depth protections to regular expression matching.Tom Lane
Some of the functions in regex compilation and execution recurse, and therefore could in principle be driven to stack overflow. The Tcl crew has seen this happen in practice in duptraverse(), though their fix was to put in a hard-wired limit on the number of recursive levels, which is not too appetizing --- fortunately, we have enough infrastructure to check the actually available stack. Greg Stark has also seen it in other places while fuzz testing on a machine with limited stack space. Let's put guards in to prevent crashes in all these places. Since the regex code would leak memory if we simply threw elog(ERROR), we have to introduce an API that checks for stack depth without throwing such an error. Fortunately that's not difficult.
2015-10-02Fix potential infinite loop in regular expression execution.Tom Lane
In cfindloop(), if the initial call to shortest() reports that a zero-length match is possible at the current search start point, but then it is unable to construct any actual match to that, it'll just loop around with the same start point, and thus make no progress. We need to force the start point to be advanced. This is safe because the loop over "begin" points has already tried and failed to match starting at "close", so there is surely no need to try that again. This bug was introduced in commit e2bd904955e2221eddf01110b1f25002de2aaa83, wherein we allowed continued searching after we'd run out of match possibilities, but evidently failed to think hard enough about exactly where we needed to search next. Because of the way this code works, such a match failure is only possible in the presence of backrefs --- otherwise, shortest()'s judgment that a match is possible should always be correct. That probably explains how come the bug has escaped detection for several years. The actual fix is a one-liner, but I took the trouble to add/improve some comments related to the loop logic. After fixing that, the submitted test case "()*\1" didn't loop anymore. But it reported failure, though it seems like it ought to match a zero-length string; both Tcl and Perl think it does. That seems to be from overenthusiastic optimization on my part when I rewrote the iteration match logic in commit 173e29aa5deefd9e71c183583ba37805c8102a72: we can't just "declare victory" for a zero-length match without bothering to set match data for capturing parens inside the iterator node. Per fuzz testing by Greg Stark. The first part of this is a bug in all supported branches, and the second part is a bug since 9.2 where the iteration rewrite happened.
2015-10-02Add some more query-cancel checks to regular expression matching.Tom Lane
Commit 9662143f0c35d64d7042fbeaf879df8f0b54be32 added infrastructure to allow regular-expression operations to be terminated early in the event of SIGINT etc. However, fuzz testing by Greg Stark disclosed that there are still cases where regex compilation could run for a long time without noticing a cancel request. Specifically, the fixempties() phase never adds new states, only new arcs, so it doesn't hit the cancel check I'd put in newstate(). Add one to newarc() as well to cover that. Some experimentation of my own found that regex execution could also run for a long time despite a pending cancel. We'd put a high-level cancel check into cdissect(), but there was none inside the core text-matching routines longest() and shortest(). Ordinarily those inner loops are very very fast ... but in the presence of lookahead constraints, not so much. As a compromise, stick a cancel check into the stateset cache-miss function, which is enough to guarantee a cancel check at least once per lookahead constraint test. Making this work required more attention to error handling throughout the regex executor. Henry Spencer had apparently originally intended longest() and shortest() to be incapable of incurring errors while running, so neither they nor their subroutines had well-defined error reporting behaviors. However, that was already broken by the lookahead constraint feature, since lacon() can surely suffer an out-of-memory failure --- which, in the code as it stood, might never be reported to the user at all, but just silently be treated as a non-match of the lookahead constraint. Normalize all that by inserting explicit error tests as needed. I took the opportunity to add some more comments to the code, too. Back-patch to all supported branches, like the previous patch.

2015-10-01Fix pg_dump to handle inherited NOT VALID check constraints correctly.Tom Lane
This case seems to have been overlooked when unvalidated check constraints were introduced, in 9.2. The code would attempt to dump such constraints over again for each child table, even though adding them to the parent table is sufficient. In 9.2 and 9.3, also fix contrib/pg_upgrade/Makefile so that the "make clean" target fully cleans up after a failed test. This evidently got dealt with at some point in 9.4, but it wasn't back-patched. I ran into it while testing this fix ... Per bug #13656 from Ingmar Brouns.
2015-10-01Fix commit_ts for standbyAlvaro Herrera
Module initialization was still not completely correct after commit 6b61955135e9, per crash report from Takashi Ohnishi. To fix, instead of trying to monkey around with the value of the GUC setting directly, add a separate boolean flag that enables the feature on a standby, but only for the startup (recovery) process, when it sees that its master server has the feature enabled. Discussion: http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/ca44c6c7f9314868bdc521aea4f77cbf@MP-MSGSS-MBX004.msg.nttdata.co.jp Also change the deactivation routine to delete all segment files rather than leaving the last one around. (This doesn't need separate WAL-logging, because on recovery we execute the same deactivation routine anyway.) In passing, clean up the code structure somewhat, particularly so that xlog.c doesn't know so much about when to activate/deactivate the feature. Thanks to Fujii Masao for testing and Petr JelĂ­nek for off-list discussion. Back-patch to 9.5, where commit_ts was introduced.

2015-09-30Improve LISTEN startup time when there are many unread notifications.Tom Lane
If some existing listener is far behind, incoming new listener sessions would start from that session's read pointer and then need to advance over many already-committed notification messages, which they have no interest in. This was expensive in itself and also thrashed the pg_notify SLRU buffers a lot more than necessary. We can improve matters considerably in typical scenarios, without much added cost, by starting from the furthest-ahead read pointer, not the furthest-behind one. We do have to consider only sessions in our own database when doing this, which requires an extra field in the data structure, but that's a pretty small cost. Back-patch to 9.0 where the current LISTEN/NOTIFY logic was introduced. Matt Newell, slightly adjusted by me

2015-09-30Include policies based on ACLs neededStephen Frost
When considering which policies should be included, rather than look at individual bits of the query (eg: if a RETURNING clause exists, or if a WHERE clause exists which is referencing the table, or if it's a FOR SHARE/UPDATE query), consider any case where we've determined the user needs SELECT rights on the relation while doing an UPDATE or DELETE to be a case where we apply SELECT policies, and any case where we've deteremind that the user needs UPDATE rights on the relation while doing a SELECT to be a case where we apply UPDATE policies. This simplifies the logic and addresses concerns that a user could use UPDATE or DELETE with a WHERE clauses to determine if rows exist, or they could use SELECT .. FOR UPDATE to lock rows which they are not actually allowed to modify through UPDATE policies. Use list_append_unique() to avoid adding the same quals multiple times, as, on balance, the cost of checking when adding the quals will almost always be cheaper than keeping them and doing busywork for each tuple during execution. Back-patch to 9.5 where RLS was added.
2015-09-30Fix incorrect tps number calculation in "excluding connections establishing".Tatsuo Ishii
The tolerance (larger than actual tps number) increases as the number of threads decreases. The bug has been there since the thread support was introduced in 9.0. Because back patching introduces incompatible behavior changes regarding the tps number, the fix is committed to master and 9.5 stable branches only. Problem spotted by me and fix proposed by Fabien COELHO. Note that his original patch included more than fixes (a code re-factoring) which is not related to the problem and I omitted the part.
