2010-05-28Rejigger mergejoin logic so that a tuple with a null in the first merge columnTom Lane
is treated like end-of-input, if nulls sort last in that column and we are not doing outer-join filling for that input. In such a case, the tuple cannot join to anything from the other input (because we assume mergejoinable operators are strict), and neither can any tuple following it in the sort order. If we're not interested in doing outer-join filling we can just pretend the tuple and its successors aren't there at all. This can save a great deal of time in situations where there are many nulls in the join column, as in a recent example from Scott Marlowe. Also, since the planner tends to not count nulls in its mergejoin scan selectivity estimates, this is an important fix to make the runtime behavior more like the estimate. I regard this as an omission in the patch I wrote years ago to teach mergejoin that tuples containing nulls aren't joinable, so I'm back-patching it. But only to 8.3 --- in older versions, we didn't have a solid notion of whether nulls sort high or low, so attempting to apply this optimization could break things.
2010-05-27Change ps_status.c to explicitly track the current logical length of ps_buffer.Tom Lane
This saves cycles in get_ps_display() on many popular platforms, and more importantly ensures that get_ps_display() will correctly return an empty string if init_ps_display() hasn't been called yet. Per trouble report from Ray Stell, in which log_line_prefix %i produced junk early in backend startup. Back-patch to 8.0. 7.4 doesn't have %i and its version of get_ps_display() makes no pretense of avoiding pad junk anyhow.
2010-05-27Fix the volatility marking of textanycat() and anytextcat(): they were markedTom Lane
immutable, but that is wrong in general because the cast from the polymorphic argument to text could be stable or even volatile. Mark them volatile for safety. In the typical case where the cast isn't volatile, the planner will deduce the correct expression volatility after inlining the function, so performance is not lost. The just-committed fix in CREATE INDEX also ensures this won't break any indexing cases that ought to be allowed. Per discussion, I'm not bumping catversion for this change, as it doesn't seem critical enough to force an initdb on beta testers.
2010-05-27Make CREATE INDEX run expression preprocessing on a proposed index expressionTom Lane
before it checks whether the expression is immutable. This covers two cases that were previously handled poorly: 1. SQL function inlining could reduce the apparent volatility of the expression, allowing an expression to be accepted where it previously would not have been. As an example, polymorphic functions must be marked with the worst-case volatility they have for any argument type, but for specific argument types they might not be so volatile, so indexing could be allowed. (Since the planner will refuse to inline functions in cases where the apparent volatility of the expression would increase, this won't break any cases that were accepted before.) 2. A nominally immutable function could have default arguments that are volatile expressions. In such a case insertion of the defaults will increase both the apparent and actual volatility of the expression, so it is *necessary* to check this before allowing the expression to be indexed. Back-patch to 8.4, where default arguments were introduced.

2010-05-27Avoid starting walreceiver in states where it shouldn't be running.Robert Haas
In particular, it's bad to start walreceiver when in state PM_WAIT_BACKENDS, because we have no provision to kill walreceiver when in that state. Fujii Masao
2010-05-27Adjust comment to reflect that we now have Hot Standby. Pointed out byHeikki Linnakangas
Robert Haas.
2010-05-26Thinko in previous commit: ensure that MAX_SEND_SIZE is always greaterHeikki Linnakangas
than XLOG_BLCKSZ, by defining it as 16 * XLOG_BLCKSZ rather than directly as 128k bytes.
2010-05-26In walsender, don't sleep if there's outstanding WAL waiting to be sent,Heikki Linnakangas
otherwise we effectively rate-limit the streaming as pointed out by Simon Riggs. Also, send the WAL in smaller chunks, to respond to signals more promptly.
2010-05-26Rearrange libpq's SSL initialization to simplify it and make it handle someTom Lane
additional cases correctly. The original coding failed to load additional (chain) certificates from the client cert file, meaning that indirectly signed client certificates didn't work unless one hacked the server's root.crt file to include intermediate CAs (not the desired approach). Another problem was that everything got loaded into the shared SSL_context object, which meant that concurrent connections trying to use different sslcert settings could well fail due to conflicting over the single available slot for a keyed certificate. To fix, get rid of the use of SSL_CTX_set_client_cert_cb(), which is deprecated anyway in the OpenSSL documentation, and instead just unconditionally load the client cert and private key during connection initialization. This lets us use SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file(), which does the right thing with additional certs, and is lots simpler than the previous hacking about with BIO-level access. A small disadvantage is that we have to load the primary client cert a second time with SSL_use_certificate_file, so that that one ends up in the correct slot within the connection's SSL object where it can get paired with the key. Given the other overhead of making an SSL connection, that doesn't seem worth worrying about. Per discussion ensuing from bug #5468.
2010-05-26Fix bogus error message for SSL-cert authentication, due to lack ofTom Lane
a uaCert entry in auth_failed(). Put the switch entries into a sane order, namely the one the enum is declared in.
2010-05-26HS Defer buffer pin deadlock check until deadlock_timeout has expired.Simon Riggs
During Hot Standby we need to check for buffer pin deadlocks when the Startup process begins to wait, in case it never wakes up again. We previously made the deadlock check immediately on the basis it was cheap, though clearer thinking and prima facie evidence shows that was too simple. Refactor existing code to make it easy to add in deferral of deadlock check until deadlock_timeout allowing a good reduction in deadlock checks since far few buffer pins are held for that duration. It's worth doing anyway, though major goal is to prevent further reports of context switching with high numbers of users on occasional tests.

2010-05-26Tell openssl to include the names of the root certs the server trusts inTom Lane
requests for client certs. This lets a client with a keystore select the appropriate client certificate to send. In particular, this is necessary to get Java clients to work in all but the most trivial configurations. Per discussion of bug #5468. Craig Ringer
2010-05-26More fixes for shutdown during recovery.Robert Haas
1. If we receive a fast shutdown request while in the PM_STARTUP state, process it just as we would in PM_RECOVERY, PM_HOT_STANDBY, or PM_RUN. Without this change, an early fast shutdown followed by Hot Standby causes the database to get stuck in a state where a shutdown is pending (so no new connections are allowed) but the shutdown request is never processed unless we end Hot Standby and enter normal running. 2. Avoid removing the backup label file when a smart or fast shutdown occurs during recovery. It makes sense to do this once we've reached normal running, since we must be taking a backup which now won't be valid. But during recovery we must be recovering from a previously taken backup, and any backup label file is needed to restart recovery from the right place. Fujii Masao and Robert Haas

2010-05-25Fix oversight in construction of sort/unique plans for UniquePaths.Tom Lane
If the original IN operator is cross-type, for example int8 = int4, we need to use int4 < int4 to sort the inner data and int4 = int4 to unique-ify it. We got the first part of that right, but tried to use the original IN operator for the equality checks. Per bug #5472 from Vlad Romascanu. Backpatch to 8.4, where the bug was introduced by the patch that unified SortClause and GroupClause. I was able to take out a whole lot of on-the-fly calls of get_equality_op_for_ordering_op(), but failed to realize that I needed to put one back in right here :-(

2010-05-13Fix MSVC builds for recent plperl changes. Go back to version 8.2, which isAndrew Dunstan
where we started supporting MSVC builds. Security: CVE-2010-1169
2010-05-13Prevent PL/Tcl from loading the "unknown" module from pltcl_modules unlessTom Lane
that is a regular table or view owned by a superuser. This prevents a trojan horse attack whereby any unprivileged SQL user could create such a table and insert code into it that would then get executed in other users' sessions whenever they call pltcl functions. Worse yet, because the code was automatically loaded into both the "normal" and "safe" interpreters at first use, the attacker could execute unrestricted Tcl code in the "normal" interpreter without there being any pltclu functions anywhere, or indeed anyone else using pltcl at all: installing pltcl is sufficient to open the hole. Change the initialization logic so that the "unknown" code is only loaded into an interpreter when the interpreter is first really used. (That doesn't add any additional security in this particular context, but it seems a prudent change, and anyway the former behavior violated the principle of least astonishment.) Security: CVE-2010-1170
2010-05-13Abandon the use of Perl's Safe.pm to enforce restrictions in plperl, as it isAndrew Dunstan
fundamentally insecure. Instead apply an opmask to the whole interpreter that imposes restrictions on unsafe operations. These restrictions are much harder to subvert than is Safe.pm, since there is no container to be broken out of. Backported to release 7.4. In releases 7.4, 8.0 and 8.1 this also includes the necessary backporting of the two interpreters model for plperl and plperlu adopted in release 8.2. In versions 8.0 and up, the use of Perl's POSIX module to undo its locale mangling on Windows has become insecure with these changes, so it is replaced by our own routine, which is also faster. Nice side effects of the changes include that it is now possible to use perl's "strict" pragma in a natural way in plperl, and that perl's $a and $b variables now work as expected in sort routines, and that function compilation is significantly faster. Tim Bunce and Andrew Dunstan, with reviews from Alex Hunsaker and Alexey Klyukin. Security: CVE-2010-1169
