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

2014-05-15Silence warnings about redefining popen on Mingw-w64.Heikki Linnakangas
Mingw-w64 headers map popen/pclose to _popen and _pclose, but we want to use our popen wrapper rather than the Mingw-w64. #undef the Mingw's version.
2014-05-14pg_ctl: Write error messages to stderrPeter Eisentraut
2014-05-14In initdb, ensure stdout/stderr buffering behavior is what we expect.Tom Lane
Since this program may print to either stdout or stderr, the relative ordering of its messages depends on the buffering behavior of those files. Force stdout to be line-buffered and stderr to be unbuffered, ensuring that the behavior will match standard Unix interactive behavior, even when stdout and stderr are rerouted to a file. Per complaint from Tomas Vondra. The particular case he pointed out is new in HEAD, but issues of the same sort could arise in any branch with other error messages, so back-patch to all branches. I'm unsure whether we might not want to do this in other client programs as well. For the moment, just fix initdb.
2014-05-14Code review for recent changes in relcache.c.Tom Lane
rd_replidindex should be managed the same as rd_oidindex, and rd_keyattr and rd_idattr should be managed like rd_indexattr. Omissions in this area meant that the bitmapsets computed for rd_keyattr and rd_idattr would be leaked during any relcache flush, resulting in a slow but permanent leak in CacheMemoryContext. There was also a tiny probability of relcache entry corruption if we ran out of memory at just the wrong point in RelationGetIndexAttrBitmap. Otherwise, the fields were not zeroed where expected, which would not bother the code any AFAICS but could greatly confuse anyone examining the relcache entry while debugging. Also, create an API function RelationGetReplicaIndex rather than letting non-relcache code be intimate with the mechanisms underlying caching of that value (we won't even mention the memory leak there). Also, fix a relcache flush hazard identified by Andres Freund: RelationGetIndexAttrBitmap must not assume that rd_replidindex stays valid across index_open. The aspects of this involving rd_keyattr date back to 9.3, so back-patch those changes.
2014-05-14Make initdb throw error for bad locale values.Tom Lane
Historically we've printed a complaint for a bad locale setting, but then fallen back to the environment default. Per discussion, this is not such a great idea, because rectifying an erroneous locale choice post-initdb (perhaps long after data has been loaded) could be enormously expensive. Better to complain and give the user a chance to double-check things. The behavior was particularly bad if the bad setting came from environment variables rather than a bogus command-line switch: in that case not only was there a fallback to C/SQL_ASCII, but the printed complaint was quite unhelpful. It's hard to be entirely sure what variables setlocale looked at, but we can at least give a hint where the problem might be. Per a complaint from Tomas Vondra.
2014-05-13Fix harmless access to uninitialized memory.Heikki Linnakangas
When cache invalidations arrive while ri_LoadConstraintInfo() is busy filling a new cache entry, InvalidateConstraintCacheCallBack() compares the - not yet initialized - oidHashValue field with the to-be-invalidated hash value. To fix, check whether the entry is already marked as invalid. Andres Freund

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

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

2014-05-10Rename min_recovery_apply_delay to recovery_min_apply_delay.Tom Lane

2014-05-10Fix bug in lossy-page handling in GINHeikki Linnakangas
When returning rows from a bitmap, as done with partial match queries, we would get stuck in an infinite loop if the bitmap contained a lossy page reference. This bug is new in master, it was introduced by the patch to allow skipping items refuted by other entries in GIN scans. Report and fix by Alexander Korotkov
2014-05-09Fix broken allocation logic in recently-rewritten jsonb_util.c.Tom Lane
reserveFromBuffer() failed to consider the possibility that it needs to more-than-double the current buffer size. Beyond that, it seems likely that we'd someday need to worry about integer overflow of the buffer length variable. Rather than reinvent the logic that's already been debugged in stringinfo.c, let's go back to using that logic. We can still have the same targeted API, but we'll rely on stringinfo.c to manage reallocation. Per report from Alexander Korotkov.
2014-05-09Get rid of bogus dependency on typcategory in to_json() and friends.Tom Lane
These functions were relying on typcategory to identify arrays and composites, which is not reliable and not the normal way to do it. Using typcategory to identify boolean, numeric types, and json itself is also pretty questionable, though the code in those cases didn't seem to be at risk of anything worse than wrong output. Instead, use the standard lsyscache functions to identify arrays and composites, and rely on a direct check of the type OID for the other cases. In HEAD, also be sure to look through domains so that a domain is treated the same as its base type for conversions to JSON. However, this is a small behavioral change; given the lack of field complaints, we won't back-patch it. In passing, refactor so that there's only one copy of the code that decides which conversion strategy to apply, not multiple copies that could (and have) gotten out of sync.
2014-05-09Code review for logical decoding patch.Robert Haas
Post-commit review identified a number of places where addition was used instead of multiplication or memory wasn't zeroed where it should have been. This commit also fixes one case where a structure member was mis-initialized, and moves another memory allocation closer to the place where the allocated storage is used for clarity. Andres Freund
2014-05-09Remove overeager assertion in logical_heap_begin_rewrite.Robert Haas
It's legal to configure wal_level=logical and max_replication_slots=0 simultaneously. Andres Freund
2014-05-09Teach add_json() that jsonb is of TYPCATEGORY_JSON.Tom Lane
This code really needs to be refactored so that there aren't so many copies that can diverge. Not to mention that this whole approach is probably wrong. But for the moment I'll just stick my finger in the dike. Per report from Michael Paquier.
2014-05-09Fix typcategory labeling of jsonb.Tom Lane
Dunno who had the cute idea of labeling jsonb as typcategory 'C', but it is not a composite type. Label it 'U', since that's what json is using.
2014-05-09More jsonb cleanup.Heikki Linnakangas
Fix JSONB_MAX_ELEMS and JSONB_MAX_PAIRS macros to use CB_MASK in the calculation. JENTRY_POSMASK happens to have the same value at the moment, but that's just coincidental. Refactor jsonb iterator functions, for readability. Get rid of the JENTRY_ISFIRST flag. Whenever we handle JEntrys, we have access to the whole array and have enough context information to know which entry is the first. This frees up one bit in the JEntry header for future use. While we're at it, shuffle the JEntry bits so that boolean true and false go together, for aesthetic reasons. Bump catalog version as this changes the on-disk format slightly.
2014-05-09Improve key representation for GIN jsonb_ops, and fix existence-search bug.Tom Lane
Change the key representation so that values that would exceed 127 bytes are hashed into short strings, and so that the original JSON datatype of each value is recorded in the index. The hashing rule eliminates the major objection to having this opclass be the default for jsonb, namely that it could fail for plausible input data (due to GIN's restrictions on maximum key length). Preserving datatype information doesn't really buy us much right now, but it requires no extra space compared to the previous way, and it might be useful later. Also, change the consistency-checking functions to request recheck for exists (jsonb ? text) and related operators. The original analysis that this is an exactly checkable query was incorrect, since the index does not preserve information about whether a key appears at top level in the indexed JSON object. Add a test case demonstrating the problem. Make some other, mostly cosmetic improvements to the code in jsonb_gin.c as well. catversion bump due to on-disk data format change in jsonb_ops indexes.
2014-05-09Minor cleanup of jsonb_util.cHeikki Linnakangas
Move the functions around to group related functions together. Remove binequal argument from lengthCompareJsonbStringValue, moving that responsibility to lengthCompareJsonbPair. Fix typo in comment.
2014-05-09Avoid some pnstrdup()s when constructing jsonbHeikki Linnakangas
This speeds up text to jsonb parsing and hstore to jsonb conversions somewhat.
2014-05-08Fix missing dependencies in ecpg's test Makefiles.Tom Lane
Ensure that ecpg preprocessor output files are rebuilt when re-testing after a change in the ecpg preprocessor itself, or a change in any of several include files that get copied verbatim into the output files. The lack of these dependencies was what created problems for Kevin Grittner after the recent pgindent run. There's no way for --enable-depend to discover these dependencies automatically, so we've gotta put them into the Makefiles by hand. While at it, reduce the amount of duplication in the ecpg invocations.
2014-05-08Increase the default value of effective_cache_size to 4GB.Tom Lane
Per discussion, the old value of 128MB is ridiculously small on modern machines; in fact, it's not even any larger than the default value of shared_buffers, which it certainly should be. Increase to 4GB, which is unlikely to be any worse than the old default for anyone, and should be noticeably better for most. Eventually we might have an autotuning scheme for this setting, but the recent attempt crashed and burned, so for now just do this.
2014-05-08Revert "Auto-tune effective_cache size to be 4x shared buffers"Tom Lane
This reverts commit ee1e5662d8d8330726eaef7d3110cb7add24d058, as well as a remarkably large number of followup commits, which were mostly concerned with the fact that the implementation didn't work terribly well. It still doesn't: we probably need some rather basic work in the GUC infrastructure if we want to fully support GUCs whose default varies depending on the value of another GUC. Meanwhile, it also emerged that there wasn't really consensus in favor of the definition the patch tried to implement (ie, effective_cache_size should default to 4 times shared_buffers). So whack it all back to where it was. In a followup commit, I'll do what was recently agreed to, which is to simply change the default to a higher value.
2014-05-08Un-break ecpg test suite under --disable-integer-datetimes.Noah Misch
Commit 4318daecc959886d001a6e79c6ea853e8b1dfb4b broke it. The change in sub-second precision at extreme dates is normal. The inconsistent truncation vs. rounding is essentially a bug, albeit a longstanding one. Back-patch to 8.4, like the causative commit.
2014-05-08Fix comment.Tom Lane
Previous commit was confused about the case we're handling: actually, what the patch is dealing with is platforms that have optreset, *and* have <getopt.h>, but the latter fails to declare the former. Because we use a linking probe to set HAVE_INT_OPTRESET, we need to be sure we have a declaration even if <getopt.h> doesn't think it exists.
2014-05-08Allow for platforms that have optreset but not <getopt.h>.Tom Lane
Reportedly, some versions of mingw are like that, and it seems plausible in general that older platforms might be that way. However, we'd determined experimentally that just doing "extern int" conflicts with the way Cygwin declares these variables, so explicitly exclude Cygwin. Michael Paquier, tweaked by me to hopefully not break Cygwin
2014-05-08Protect against torn pages when deleting GIN list pages.Heikki Linnakangas
To-be-deleted list pages contain no useful information, as they are being deleted, but we must still protect the writes from being torn by a crash after a partial write. To do that, re-initialize the pages on WAL replay. Jeff Janes caught this with a test program to test partial writes. Backpatch to all supported versions.

2014-05-07Avoid buffer bloat in libpq when server is consistently faster than client.Tom Lane
If the server sends a long stream of data, and the server + network are consistently fast enough to force the recv() loop in pqReadData() to iterate until libpq's input buffer is full, then upon processing the last incomplete message in each bufferload we'd usually double the buffer size, due to supposing that we didn't have enough room in the buffer to finish collecting that message. After filling the newly-enlarged buffer, the cycle repeats, eventually resulting in an out-of-memory situation (which would be reported misleadingly as "lost synchronization with server"). Of course, we should not enlarge the buffer unless we still need room after discarding already-processed messages. This bug dates back quite a long time: pqParseInput3 has had the behavior since perhaps 2003, getCopyDataMessage at least since commit 70066eb1a1ad in 2008. Probably the reason it's not been isolated before is that in common environments the recv() loop would always be faster than the server (if on the same machine) or faster than the network (if not); or at least it wouldn't be slower consistently enough to let the buffer ramp up to a problematic size. The reported cases involve Windows, which perhaps has different timing behavior than other platforms. Per bug #7914 from Shin-ichi Morita, though this is different from his proposed solution. Back-patch to all supported branches.
