2010-11-15Fix aboriginal mistake in plpython's set-returning-function support.Tom Lane
We must stay in the function's SPI context until done calling the iterator that returns the set result. Otherwise, any attempt to invoke SPI features in the python code called by the iterator will malfunction. Diagnosis and patch by Jan Urbanski, per bug report from Jean-Baptiste Quenot. Back-patch to 8.2; there was no support for SRFs in previous versions of plpython.
2010-11-15Avoid spurious Hot Standby conflicts from btree delete records.Simon Riggs
Similar conflicts were already avoided for related record types. Massive over-caution resulted in a usability bug. Clear theoretical basis for doing this is now confirmed by me. Request to remove from Heikki (twice), over-caution by me.
2010-11-14Fix canAcceptConnections() bugs introduced by replication-related patches.Tom Lane
We must not return any "okay to proceed" result code without having checked for too many children, else we might fail later on when trying to add the new child to one of the per-child state arrays. It's not clear whether this oversight explains Stefan Kaltenbrunner's recent report, but it could certainly produce a similar symptom. Back-patch to 8.4; the logic was not broken before that.
2010-11-13Add missing outfuncs.c support for struct InhRelation.Tom Lane
This is needed to support debug_print_parse, per report from Jon Nelson. Cursory testing via the regression tests suggests we aren't missing anything else.
2010-11-12Fix old oversight in const-simplification of COALESCE() expressions.Tom Lane
Once we have found a non-null constant argument, there is no need to examine additional arguments of the COALESCE. The previous coding got it right only if the constant was in the first argument position; otherwise it tried to simplify following arguments too, leading to unexpected behavior like this: regression=# select coalesce(f1, 42, 1/0) from int4_tbl; ERROR: division by zero It's a minor corner case, but a bug is a bug, so back-patch all the way.
2010-11-12Add missing support for removing foreign data wrapper / server privilegesHeikki Linnakangas
belonging to a user at DROP OWNED BY. Foreign data wrappers and servers don't do anything useful yet, which is why no-one has noticed, but since we have them, seems prudent to fix this. Per report from Chetan Suttraway. Backpatch to 9.0, 8.4 has the same problem but this patch didn't apply there so I'm not going to bother.
2010-11-11Fix bug introduced by the recent patch to check that the checkpoint redoHeikki Linnakangas
location read from backup label file can be found: wasShutdown was set incorrectly when a backup label file was found. Jeff Davis, with a little tweaking by me.
2010-11-10Fix line_construct_pm() for the case of "infinite" (DBL_MAX) slope.Tom Lane
This code was just plain wrong: what you got was not a line through the given point but a line almost indistinguishable from the Y-axis, although not truly vertical. The only caller that tries to use this function with m == DBL_MAX is dist_ps_internal for the case where the lseg is horizontal; it would end up producing the distance from the given point to the place where the lseg's line crosses the Y-axis. That function is used by other operators too, so there are several operators that could compute wrong distances from a line segment to something else. Per bug #5745 from jindiax. Back-patch to all supported branches.
2010-11-10Don't use __declspec (dllimport) for PGDLLEXPORT to reduce warningsItagaki Takahiro
by gcc version 4 on mingw and cygwin. We don't use dllexport here because dllexport and dllwrap don't work well together.
2010-11-09Repair memory leakage while ANALYZE-ing complex index expressions.Tom Lane
The general design of memory management in Postgres is that intermediate results computed by an expression are not freed until the end of the tuple cycle. For expression indexes, ANALYZE has to re-evaluate each expression for each of its sample rows, and it wasn't bothering to free intermediate results until the end of processing of that index. This could lead to very substantial leakage if the intermediate results were large, as in a recent example from Jakub Ouhrabka. Fix by doing ResetExprContext for each sample row. This necessitates adding a datumCopy step to ensure that the final expression value isn't recycled too. Some quick testing suggests that this change adds at worst about 10% to the time needed to analyze a table with an expression index; which is annoying, but seems a tolerable price to pay to avoid unexpected out-of-memory problems. Back-patch to all supported branches.
2010-11-09In rewriteheap.c (used by VACUUM FULL and CLUSTER), calculate the tupleHeikki Linnakangas
length stored in the line pointer the same way it's calculated in the normal heap_insert() codepath. As noted by Jeff Davis, the length stored by raw_heap_insert() included padding but the one stored by the normal codepath did not. While the mismatch seems to be harmless, inconsistency isn't good, and the normal codepath has received a lot more testing over the years. Backpatch to 8.3 where the heap rewrite code was introduced.
2010-11-08Fix error handling in temp-file deletion with log_temp_files active.Tom Lane
The original coding in FileClose() reset the file-is-temp flag before unlinking the file, so that if control came back through due to an error, it wouldn't try to unlink the file twice. This was correct when written, but when the log_temp_files feature was added, the logging action was put in between those two steps. An error occurring during the logging action --- such as a query cancel --- would result in the unlink not getting done at all, as in recent report from Michael Glaesemann. To fix this, make sure that we do both the stat and the unlink before doing anything that could conceivably CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS. There is a judgment call here, which is which log message to emit first: if you can see only one, which should it be? I chose to log unlink failure at the risk of losing the log_temp_files log message --- after all, if the unlink does fail, the temp file is still there for you to see. Back-patch to all versions that have log_temp_files. The code was OK before that.
2010-11-08Fix permanent memory leak in autovacuum launcherAlvaro Herrera
get_database_list was uselessly allocating its output data, along some created along the way, in a permanent memory context. This didn't matter when autovacuum was a single, short-lived process, but now that the launcher is permanent, it shows up as a permanent leak. To fix, make get_database list allocate its output data in the caller's context, which is in charge of freeing it when appropriate; and the memory leaked by heap_beginscan et al is allocated in a throwaway transaction context.
2010-11-06Add support for detecting register-stack overrun on IA64.Tom Lane
Per recent investigation, the register stack can grow faster than the regular stack depending on compiler and choice of options. To avoid crashes we must check both stacks in check_stack_depth(). Back-patch to all supported versions.
2010-11-03Reduce recursion depth in recently-added regression test.Tom Lane
Some buildfarm members fail the test with the original depth of 10 levels, apparently because they are running at the minimum max_stack_depth setting of 100kB and using ~ 10k per recursion level. While it might be interesting to try to figure out why they're eating so much stack, it isn't likely that any fix for that would be back-patchable. So just change the test to recurse only 5 levels. The extra levels don't prove anything correctness-wise anyway.
2010-11-02Fix adjust_semi_join to be more cautious about clauseless joins.Tom Lane
It was reporting that these were fully indexed (hence cheap), when of course they're the exact opposite of that. I'm not certain if the case would arise in practice, since a clauseless semijoin is hard to produce in SQL, but if it did happen we'd make some dumb decisions.
2010-11-02Ensure an index that uses a whole-row Var still depends on its table.Tom Lane
We failed to record any dependency on the underlying table for an index declared like "create index i on t (foo(t.*))". This would create trouble if the table were dropped without previously dropping the index. To fix, simplify some overly-cute code in index_create(), accepting the possibility that sometimes the whole-table dependency will be redundant. Also document this hazard in dependency.c. Per report from Kevin Grittner. In passing, prevent a core dump in pg_get_indexdef() if the index's table can't be found. I came across this while experimenting with Kevin's example. Not sure it's a real issue when the catalogs aren't corrupt, but might as well be cautious. Back-patch to all supported versions.
2010-11-02Bootstrap WAL to begin at segment logid=0 logseg=1 (000000010000000000000001)Heikki Linnakangas
rather than 0/0, so that we can safely use 0/0 as an invalid value. This is a more future-proof fix for the corner-case bug in streaming replication that was fixed yesterday. We had a similar corner-case bug with log/seg 0/0 back in February as well. Avoiding 0/0 as a valid value should prevent bugs like that in the future. Per Tom Lane's idea. Back-patch to 9.0. Since this only affects bootstrapping, it makes no difference to existing installations. We don't need to worry about the bug in existing installations, because if you've managed to get past the initial base backup already, you won't hit the bug in the future either.
2010-11-01Fix corner-case bug in tracking of latest removed WAL segment duringHeikki Linnakangas
streaming replication. We used log/seg 0/0 to indicate that no WAL segments have been removed since startup, but 0/0 is a valid value for the very first WAL segment after initdb. To make that disambiguous, store (latest removed WAL segment + 1) in the global variable. Per report from Matt Chesler, also reproduced by Greg Smith.
2010-10-28Fix plpgsql's handling of "simple" expression evaluation.Tom Lane
In general, expression execution state trees aren't re-entrantly usable, since functions can store private state information in them. For efficiency reasons, plpgsql tries to cache and reuse state trees for "simple" expressions. It can get away with that most of the time, but it can fail if the state tree is dirty from a previous failed execution (as in an example from Alvaro) or is being used recursively (as noted by me). Fix by tracking whether a state tree is in use, and falling back to the "non-simple" code path if so. This results in a pretty considerable speed hit when the non-simple path is taken, but the available alternatives seem even more unpleasant because they add overhead in the simple path. Per idea from Heikki. Back-patch to all supported branches.
2010-10-27Fix long-standing segfault when accept() or one of the calls made rightHeikki Linnakangas
after accepting a connection fails, and the server is compiled with GSSAPI support. Report and patch by Alexander V. Chernikov, bug #5731.
2010-10-26Fix up some oversights in psql's Unicode-escape support.Tom Lane
Original patch failed to include new exclusive states in a switch that needed to include them; and also was guilty of very fuzzy thinking about how to handle error cases. Per bug #5729 from Alan Choi.
2010-10-26Before removing backup_label and irrevocably changing pg_control file, checkHeikki Linnakangas
that WAL file containing the checkpoint redo-location can be found. This avoids making the cluster irrecoverable if the redo location is in an earlie WAL file than the checkpoint record. Report, analysis and patch by Jeff Davis, with small changes by me.
2010-10-25Fix inline_set_returning_function() to preserve the invalItems list properly.Tom Lane
This avoids a possible crash when inlining a SRF whose argument list contains a reference to an inline-able user function. The crash is quite reproducible with CLOBBER_FREED_MEMORY enabled, but would be less certain in a production build. Problem introduced in 9.0 by the named-arguments patch, which requires invoking eval_const_expressions() before we can try to inline a SRF. Per report from Brendan Jurd.
2010-10-22Add semicolon, missed in previous patch. And update the keyword list inHeikki Linnakangas
the docs to reflect that OFF is now unreserved. Spotted by Tom Lane.
2010-10-22Make OFF keyword unreserved. It's not hard to imagine wanting to use 'off'Heikki Linnakangas
as a variable or column name, and it's not reserved in recent versions of the SQL spec either. This became particularly annoying in 9.0, before that PL/pgSQL replaced variable names in queries with parameter markers, so it was possible to use OFF and many other backend parser keywords as variable names. Because of that, backpatch to 9.0.
2010-10-20Remove obsolete comment, per Josh Kupershmidt.Tom Lane
2010-10-20Don't try to fetch database name when SetTransactionIdLimit() is executedTom Lane
outside a transaction. This repairs brain fade in my patch of 2009-08-30: the reason we had been storing oldest-database name, not OID, in ShmemVariableCache was of course to avoid having to do a catalog lookup at times when it might be unsafe. This error explains why Aleksandr Dushein is having trouble getting out of an XID wraparound state in bug #5718, though not how he got into that state in the first place. I suspect pg_upgrade is at fault there.
2010-10-20Fix ecpg test building process to not generate *.dSYM junk on Macs.Tom Lane
The trick is to not try to build executables directly from .c files, but to always build the intermediate .o files. For obscure reasons, Darwin's version of gcc will leave debug cruft behind in the first case but not the second. Per complaint from Robert Haas.
2010-10-19Fix incorrect generation of whole-row variables in planner.Tom Lane
A couple of places in the planner need to generate whole-row Vars, and were cutting corners by setting vartype = RECORDOID in the Vars, even in cases where there's an identifiable named composite type for the RTE being referenced. While we mostly got away with this, it failed when there was also a parser-generated whole-row reference to the same RTE, because the two Vars weren't equal() due to the difference in vartype. Fix by providing a subroutine the planner can call to generate whole-row Vars the same way the parser does. Per bug #5716 from Andrew Tipton. Back-patch to 9.0 where one of the bogus calls was introduced (the other one is new in HEAD).
2010-10-17Fix msvc build for localized versions of Visual C++Magnus Hagander
Look only at the non-localized part of the output from "vcbuild /?", which is used to determine the version of Visual Studio in use. Different languages seem to localize different amounts of the string, but we assume the part "Microsoft Visual C++" won't be modified.
2010-10-15Fix low-risk potential denial of service against RADIUS login.Magnus Hagander
Corrupt RADIUS responses were treated as errors and not ignored (which the RFC2865 states they should be). This meant that a user with unfiltered access to the network of the PostgreSQL or RADIUS server could send a spoofed RADIUS response to the PostgreSQL server causing it to reject a valid login, provided the attacker could also guess (or brute-force) the correct port number. Fix is to simply retry the receive in a loop until the timeout has expired or a valid (signed by the correct RADIUS server) packet arrives. Reported by Alan DeKok in bug #5687.

ecpglib. Instead of parsing the statement just as ask the database server.
2010-10-11Fix plpython so that it again honors typmod while assigning to tuple fields.Tom Lane
This was broken in 9.0 while improving plpython's conversion behavior for bytea and boolean. Per bug report from maizi.
2010-10-11Fix assorted bugs in GIN's WAL replay logic.Tom Lane
The original coding was quite sloppy about handling the case where XLogReadBuffer fails (because the page has since been deleted). This would result in either "bad buffer id: 0" or an Assert failure during replay, if indeed the page were no longer there. In a couple of places it also neglected to check whether the change had already been applied, which would probably result in corrupted index contents. I believe that bug #5703 is an instance of the first problem. These issues could show up without replication, but only if you were unfortunate enough to crash between modification of a GIN index and the next checkpoint. Back-patch to 8.2, which is as far back as GIN has WAL support.
2010-10-02Behave correctly if INSERT ... VALUES is decorated with additional clauses.Tom Lane
In versions 8.2 and up, the grammar allows attaching ORDER BY, LIMIT, FOR UPDATE, or WITH to VALUES, and hence to INSERT ... VALUES. But the special-case code for VALUES in transformInsertStmt() wasn't expecting any of those, and just ignored them, leading to unexpected results. Rather than complicate the special-case path, just ensure that the presence of any of those clauses makes us treat the query as if it had a general SELECT. Per report from Hitoshi Harada.
2010-10-02Remove excess argument to open(2).Tom Lane
Many compilers don't complain about this, but some do, and it's certainly wrong. Back-patch to 8.4 where the error was introduced. Mark Kirkwood
2010-10-02Throw an appropriate error if ALTER COLUMN TYPE finds a dependent trigger.Tom Lane
Actually making this case work, if the column is used in the trigger's WHEN condition, will take some new code that probably isn't appropriate to back-patch. For now, just throw a FEATURE_NOT_SUPPORTED error rather than allowing control to reach the "unexpected object" case. Per bug #5688 from Daniel Grace. Back-patch to 9.0 where the possibility of such a dependency was introduced.

2010-09-30Use a separate interpreter for each calling SQL userid in plperl and pltcl.Tom Lane
There are numerous methods by which a Perl or Tcl function can subvert the behavior of another such function executed later; for example, by redefining standard functions or operators called by the target function. If the target function is SECURITY DEFINER, or is called by such a function, this means that any ordinary SQL user with Perl or Tcl language usage rights can do essentially anything with the privileges of the target function's owner. To close this security hole, create a separate Perl or Tcl interpreter for each SQL userid under which plperl or pltcl functions are executed within a session. However, all plperlu or pltclu functions run within a session still share a single interpreter, since they all execute at the trust level of a database superuser anyway. Note: this change results in a functionality loss when libperl has been built without the "multiplicity" option: it's no longer possible to call plperl functions under different userids in one session, since such a libperl can't support multiple interpreters in one process. However, such a libperl already failed to support concurrent use of plperl and plperlu, so it's likely that few people use such versions with Postgres. Security: CVE-2010-3433
2010-09-30Translation updates for 9.0.1Peter Eisentraut
2010-09-28Fix another small oversight in command_no_begin patch.Tom Lane
Need a "return false" to prevent tests from continuing after we've moved the "query" pointer. As it stood, it'd accept "DROP DISCARD ALL" as a match.
2010-09-28Fix PlaceHolderVar mechanism's interaction with outer joins.Tom Lane
The point of a PlaceHolderVar is to allow a non-strict expression to be evaluated below an outer join, after which its value bubbles up like a Var and can be forced to NULL when the outer join's semantics require that. However, there was a serious design oversight in that, namely that we didn't ensure that there was actually a correct place in the plan tree to evaluate the placeholder :-(. It may be necessary to delay evaluation of an outer join to ensure that a placeholder that should be evaluated below the join can be evaluated there. Per recent bug report from Kirill Simonov. Back-patch to 8.4 where the PlaceHolderVar mechanism was introduced.
2010-09-28Only DISCARD ALL should be in the command_no_begin list.Itagaki Takahiro
We allowes DISCARD PLANS and TEMP in a transaction.
2010-09-28Add DISCARD to the command_no_begin list for AUTOCOMMIT=off.Itagaki Takahiro
Backpatch to 8.3. Reported by Sergey Burladyan.

Devrim GÜNDÜZ
2010-09-25Fix another join removal bug: the check on PlaceHolderVars was wrong.Tom Lane
The previous coding would decide that join removal was unsafe upon finding a PlaceHolderVar that needed to be evaluated at the inner rel and then used above the join. However, this fails to cover the case of PlaceHolderVars that refer to both the inner rel and some other rels. Per bug report from Andrus.
2010-09-25Further fixes to the pg_get_expr() security fix in back branches.Tom Lane
It now emerges that the JDBC driver expects to be able to use pg_get_expr() on an output of a sub-SELECT. So extend the check logic to be able to recurse into a sub-SELECT to see if the argument is ultimately coming from an appropriate column. Per report from Thomas Kellerer.
2010-09-24Still more .gitignore cleanup.Tom Lane
Fix overly-enthusiastic ignores, as identified by git ls-files -i --exclude-standard
