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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

hasn't been set.
The only known case where this can happen is when show_session_authorization
is invoked in an autovacuum process, which is possible if an index function
calls it, as for example in bug #5669 from Andrew Geery. We could perhaps
try to return a sensible value, such as the name of the cluster-owning
superuser; but that seems like much more trouble than the case is worth,
and in any case it could create new possible failure modes. Simply
returning an empty string seems like the most appropriate fix.
Back-patch to all supported versions, even those before autovacuum, just
in case there's another way to provoke this crash.

In some situations the original coding led to corrupting the child AppendRel's
subpaths list, effectively adding other members of the parent's list to it.
This was usually masked because we never made any further use of the child's
list, but given the right combination of circumstances, we could do so. The
visible symptom would be a relation getting scanned twice, as in bug #5673
from David Schmitt.
Backpatch to 8.2, which is as far back as the risky coding appears. The
example submitted by David only fails in 8.4 and later, but I'm not convinced
that there aren't any even-more-obscure cases where 8.2 and 8.3 would fail.

servers. AFAICT it's harmless at the moment because nothing can depend on
either, but as soon as we introduce an object type with such dependencies,
tableoid needs to be set or pg_dump will fail to interpret the dependencies
correctly. In theory, I guess the uninitialized garbage in tableoid could
cause the object to be mistaken for some other object with same OID as well.

This was unintentionally broken in 8.4 while tightening up checking of
ordinary non-Julian date inputs to forbid references to "year zero".

The previous patches failed to cover a lot of symlinks that are only
added in platform-specific cases. Make the lists match what's in the
Makefile for each branch.
|
|
These are just cosmetic and don't seem worth back-patching far.
I put them into 9.0 just because it was trivial to do so.

Also do some further work in the back branches, where quite a bit wasn't
covered by Magnus' original back-patch.

In these cases a qual can get marked with the removable rel in its
required_relids, but this is just to schedule its evaluation correctly, not
because it really depends on the rel. We were assuming that, in effect,
we could throw away *all* quals so marked, which is nonsense. Tighten up
the logic to be a little more paranoid about which quals belong to the
outer join being considered for removal, and arrange for all quals that
don't belong to be updated so they will still get evaluated correctly.
Also fix another problem that happened to be exposed by this test case,
which was that make_join_rel() was failing to notice some cases where
a constant-false qual could be used to prove a join relation empty. If it's
a pushed-down constant false, then the relation is empty even if it's an
outer join, because the qual applies after the outer join expansion.
Per report from Nathan Grange. Back-patch into 9.0.

an online backup instead of performing one. pg_ctl can detect that by
checking if recovery.conf exists.
Backup label file is renamed away early in recovery, so the window where
backup label exists during recovery is normally very small, but you can run
into it e.g if restore_command is set incorrectly and the startup process
never finds even the first WAL segment containing the checkpoint record to
start recovery from.
