Per analysis and suggested fix by Andrew Gierth. Fixes bug #11555, reported
by Bryan Seitz (analysis happened over IRC). Backpatch to all supported
versions.
Testing by Amit Kapila, Andres Freund, and myself, with and without
other patches that also aim to improve scalability, seems to indicate
that this change is a significant win over the current value and over
smaller values such as 64. It's not clear how high we can push this
value before it starts to have negative side-effects elsewhere, but
going this far looks OK.
As of commit a87c72915 (which later got backpatched as far as 9.1),
we're explicitly supporting the notion that append relations can be
nested; this can occur when UNION ALL constructs are nested, or when
a UNION ALL contains a table with inheritance children.
Bug #11457 from Nelson Page, as well as an earlier report from Elvis
Pranskevichus, showed that there were still nasty bugs associated with such
cases: in particular the EquivalenceClass mechanism could try to generate
"join" clauses connecting an appendrel child to some grandparent appendrel,
which would result in assertion failures or bogus plans.
Upon investigation I concluded that all current callers of
find_childrel_appendrelinfo() need to be fixed to explicitly consider
multiple levels of parent appendrels. The most complex fix was in
processing of "broken" EquivalenceClasses, which are ECs for which we have
been unable to generate all the derived equality clauses we would like to
because of missing cross-type equality operators in the underlying btree
operator family. That code path is more or less entirely untested by
the regression tests to date, because no standard opfamilies have such
holes in them. So I wrote a new regression test script to try to exercise
it a bit, which turned out to be quite a worthwhile activity as it exposed
existing bugs in all supported branches.
The present patch is essentially the same as far back as 9.2, which is
where parameterized paths were introduced. In 9.0 and 9.1, we only need
to back-patch a small fragment of commit 5b7b5518d, which fixes failure to
propagate out the original WHERE clauses when a broken EC contains constant
members. (The regression test case results show that these older branches
are noticeably stupider than 9.2+ in terms of the quality of the plans
generated; but we don't really care about plan quality in such cases,
only that the plan not be outright wrong. A more invasive fix in the
older branches would not be a good idea anyway from a plan-stability
standpoint.)
I left the GUC in place for the beta period, so that people could experiment
with different values. No-one's come up with any data that a different value
would be better under some circumstances, so rather than try to document to
users what the GUC, let's just hard-code the current value, 8.
DetermineSleepTime() was previously called without blocked
signals. That's not good, because it allows signal handlers to
interrupt its workings.
DetermineSleepTime() was added in 9.3 with the addition of background
workers (da07a1e856), where it only read from
BackgroundWorkerList.
Since 9.4, where dynamic background workers were added (7f7485a0cd),
the list is also manipulated in DetermineSleepTime(). That's bad
because the list now can be persistently corrupted if modified by both
a signal handler and DetermineSleepTime().
This was discovered during the investigation of hangs on buildfarm
member anole. It's unclear whether this bug is the source of these
hangs or not, but it's worth fixing either way. I have confirmed that
it can cause crashes.
It luckily looks like this only can cause problems when bgworkers are
actively used.

As noted in http://bugs.debian.org/763098 there is a conflict between

Per discussion, revert the commit which added 'ignore_nulls' to
row_to_json. This capability would be better added as an independent
function rather than being bolted on to row_to_json. Additionally,
the implementation didn't address complex JSON objects, and so was
incomplete anyway.
Pointed out by Tom and discussed with Andrew and Robert.
The original design used an array of offsets into the variable-length
portion of a JSONB container. However, such an array is basically
uncompressible by simple compression techniques such as TOAST's LZ
compressor. That's bad enough, but because the offset array is at the
front, it tended to trigger the give-up-after-1KB heuristic in the TOAST
code, so that the entire JSONB object was stored uncompressed; which was
the root cause of bug #11109 from Larry White.
To fix without losing the ability to extract a random array element in O(1)
time, change this scheme so that most of the JEntry array elements hold
lengths rather than offsets. With data that's compressible at all, there
tend to be fewer distinct element lengths, so that there is scope for
compression of the JEntry array. Every N'th entry is still an offset.
To determine the length or offset of any specific element, we might have
to examine up to N preceding JEntrys, but that's still O(1) so far as the
total container size is concerned. Testing shows that this cost is
negligible compared to other costs of accessing a JSONB field, and that
the method does largely fix the incompressible-data problem.
While at it, rearrange the order of elements in a JSONB object so that
it's "all the keys, then all the values" not alternating keys and values.
This doesn't really make much difference right at the moment, but it will
allow providing a fast path for extracting individual object fields from
large JSONB values stored EXTERNAL (ie, uncompressed), analogously to the
existing optimization for substring extraction from large EXTERNAL text
values.
Bump catversion to denote the incompatibility in on-disk format.
We will need to fix pg_upgrade to disallow upgrading jsonb data stored
with 9.4 betas 1 and 2.

Andres pointed out that there was an extra ';' in equalPolicies, which
made me realize that my prior testing with CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS was
insufficient (it didn't always catch the issue, just most of the time).
Thanks to that, a different issue was discovered, specifically in
equalRSDescs. This change corrects eqaulRSDescs to return 'true' once
all policies have been confirmed logically identical. After stepping
through both functions to ensure correct behavior, I ran this for
about 12 hours of CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS runs of the regression tests
with no failures.
In addition, correct a few typos in the documentation which were pointed
out by Thom Brown (thanks!) and improve the policy documentation further
by adding a flushed out usage example based on a unix passwd file.
Lastly, clean up a few comments in the regression tests and pg_dump.h.
Several upcoming performance/scalability improvements require atomic
operations. This new API avoids the need to splatter compiler and
architecture dependent code over all the locations employing atomic
ops.
For several of the potential usages it'd be problematic to maintain
both, a atomics using implementation and one using spinlocks or
similar. In all likelihood one of the implementations would not get
tested regularly under concurrency. To avoid that scenario the new API
provides a automatic fallback of atomic operations to spinlocks. All
properties of atomic operations are maintained. This fallback -
obviously - isn't as fast as just using atomic ops, but it's not bad
either. For one of the future users the atomics ontop spinlocks
implementation was actually slightly faster than the old purely
spinlock using implementation. That's important because it reduces the
fear of regressing older platforms when improving the scalability for
new ones.
The API, loosely modeled after the C11 atomics support, currently
provides 'atomic flags' and 32 bit unsigned integers. If the platform
efficiently supports atomic 64 bit unsigned integers those are also
provided.
To implement atomics support for a platform/architecture/compiler for
a type of atomics 32bit compare and exchange needs to be
implemented. If available and more efficient native support for flags,
32 bit atomic addition, and corresponding 64 bit operations may also
be provided. Additional useful atomic operations are implemented
generically ontop of these.
The implementation for various versions of gcc, msvc and sun studio have
been tested. Additional existing stub implementations for
* Intel icc
* HUPX acc
* IBM xlc
are included but have never been tested. These will likely require
fixes based on buildfarm and user feedback.
As atomic operations also require barriers for some operations the
existing barrier support has been moved into the atomics code.

We removed a similar ban on this in json_object recently, but the ban in
datum_to_json was left, which generate4d sprutious errors in othee json
generators, notable json_build_object.
Along the way, add an assertion that datum_to_json is not passed a null
key. All current callers comply with this rule, but the assertion will
catch any possible future misbehaviour.
Previously, we used an lwlock that was held from the time we began
seeking a candidate buffer until the time when we found and pinned
one, which is disastrous for concurrency. Instead, use a spinlock
which is held just long enough to pop the freelist or advance the
clock sweep hand, and then released. If we need to advance the clock
sweep further, we reacquire the spinlock once per buffer.
This represents a significant increase in atomic operations around
buffer eviction, but it still wins on many workloads. On others, it
may result in no gain, or even cause a regression, unless the number
of buffer mapping locks is also increased. However, that seems like
material for a separate commit. We may also need to consider other
methods of mitigating contention on this spinlock, such as splitting
it into multiple locks or jumping the clock sweep hand more than one
buffer at a time, but those, too, seem like separate improvements.

Buildfarm member tick identified an issue where the policies in the
relcache for a relation were were being replaced underneath a running
query, leading to segfaults while processing the policies to be added
to a query. Similar to how TupleDesc RuleLocks are handled, add in a
equalRSDesc() function to check if the policies have actually changed
and, if not, swap back the rsdesc field (using the original instead of
the temporairly built one; the whole structure is swapped and then
specific fields swapped back). This now passes a CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS
for me and should resolve the buildfarm error.
In addition to addressing this, add a new chapter in Data Definition
under Privileges which explains row security and provides examples of
its usage, change \d to always list policies (even if row security is
disabled- but note that it is disabled, or enabled with no policies),

but it did need to be using has_privs_of_role()), and change the field
in pg_class to relrowsecurity from relhasrowsecurity, based on
Heikki's suggestion. Also from Heikki, only issue SET ROW_SECURITY in

This function created new Vars with varno different from varnoold, which
is a condition that should never prevail before setrefs.c does the final
variable-renumbering pass. The created Vars could not be seen as equal()
to normal Vars, which among other things broke equivalence-class processing
for them. The consequences of this were indeed visible in the regression
tests, in the form of failure to propagate constants as one would expect.
I stumbled across it while poking at bug #11457 --- after intentionally
disabling join equivalence processing, the security-barrier regression
tests started falling over with fun errors like "could not find pathkey
item to sort", because of failure to match the corrupted Vars to normal
ones.
When the number of allowed iterations is limited (either a "?" quantifier
or a bound expression), the last sub-match has to reach to the end of the
target string. The previous coding here first tried the shortest possible
match (one character, usually) and then gave up and back-tracked if that
didn't work, typically leading to failure to match overall, as shown in
bug #11478 from Christoph Berg. The minimum change to fix that would be to
not decrement k before "goto backtrack"; but that would be a pretty stupid
solution, because we'd laboriously try each possible sub-match length
before finally discovering that only ending at the end can work. Instead,
force the sub-match endpoint limit up to the end for even the first
shortest() call if we cannot have any more sub-matches after this one.
Bug introduced in my rewrite that added the iterdissect logic, commit
173e29aa5d. The shortest-first search code
was too closely modeled on the longest-first code, which hasn't got this
issue since it tries a match reaching to the end to start with anyway.

For the reason outlined in df4077cda2 also remove volatile qualifiers
from xlog.c. Some of these uses of volatile have been added after
noticing problems back when spinlocks didn't imply compiler
barriers. So they are a good test - in fact removing the volatiles
breaks when done without the barriers in spinlocks present.
Several uses of volatile remain where they are explicitly used to
access shared memory without locks. These locations are ok with
slightly out of date data, but removing the volatile might lead to the
variables never being reread from memory. These uses could also be
replaced by barriers, but that's a separate change of doubtful value.
Now that spinlocks (hopefully!) act as compiler barriers, as of commit
0709b7ee72, this should be safe. This
serves as a demonstration of the new coding style, and may be optimized
better on some machines as well.
There are four weaknesses in728f152e07f998d2cb4fe5f24ec8da2c3bda98f2:
* append_init() in heapdesc.c was ugly and required that rm_identify
return values are only valid till the next call. Instead just add a
couple more switch() cases for the INIT_PAGE cases. Now the returned
value will always be valid.
* a couple rm_identify() callbacks missed masking xl_info with
~XLR_INFO_MASK.
* pg_xlogdump didn't map a NULL rm_identify to UNKNOWN or a similar
string.
* append_init() was called when id=NULL - which should never actually
happen. But it's better to be careful.
Testing reveals that that doing a memcmp() before the strcoll() costs
practically nothing, at least on the systems we tested, and it speeds
up sorts containing many equal strings significatly.

Building on the updatable security-barrier views work, add the
ability to define policies on tables to limit the set of rows
which are returned from a query and which are allowed to be added
to a table. Expressions defined by the policy for filtering are
added to the security barrier quals of the query, while expressions
defined to check records being added to a table are added to the
with-check options of the query.
New top-level commands are CREATE/ALTER/DROP POLICY and are
controlled by the table owner. Row Security is able to be enabled
and disabled by the owner on a per-table basis using
ALTER TABLE .. ENABLE/DISABLE ROW SECURITY.
Per discussion, ROW SECURITY is disabled on tables by default and
must be enabled for policies on the table to be used. If no
policies exist on a table with ROW SECURITY enabled, a default-deny
policy is used and no records will be visible.
By default, row security is applied at all times except for the
table owner and the superuser. A new GUC, row_security, is added
which can be set to ON, OFF, or FORCE. When set to FORCE, row
security will be applied even for the table owner and superusers.
When set to OFF, row security will be disabled when allowed and an
error will be thrown if the user does not have rights to bypass row
security.
Per discussion, pg_dump sets row_security = OFF by default to ensure
that exports and backups will have all data in the table or will
error if there are insufficient privileges to bypass row security.
A new option has been added to pg_dump, --enable-row-security, to
ask pg_dump to export with row security enabled.
A new role capability, BYPASSRLS, which can only be set by the
superuser, is added to allow other users to be able to bypass row
security using row_security = OFF.

This new GUC context option allows GUC parameters to have the combined
properties of PGC_BACKEND and PGC_SUSET, ie, they don't change after
session start and non-superusers can't change them. This is a more
appropriate choice for log_connections and log_disconnections than their
previous context of PGC_BACKEND, because we don't want non-superusers
to be able to affect whether their sessions get logged.
Note: the behavior for log_connections is still a bit odd, in that when
a superuser attempts to set it from PGOPTIONS, the setting takes effect
but it's too late to enable or suppress connection startup logging.
It's debatable whether that's worth fixing, and in any case there is
a reasonable argument for PGC_SU_BACKEND to exist.

The code that tried to split a page at 75/25 ratio, when appending to the

The code for raising a NUMERIC value to an integer power wasn't very
careful about large powers. It got an outright wrong answer for an
exponent of INT_MIN, due to failure to consider overflow of the Abs(exp)
operation; which is fixable by using an unsigned rather than signed
exponent value after that point. Also, even though the number of
iterations of the power-computation loop is pretty limited, it's easy for
the repeated squarings to result in ridiculously enormous intermediate
values, which can take unreasonable amounts of time/memory to process,
or even overflow the internal "weight" field and so produce a wrong answer.
We can forestall misbehaviors of that sort by bailing out as soon as the
weight value exceeds what will fit in int16, since then the final answer
must overflow (if exp > 0) or underflow (if exp < 0) the packed numeric
format.

Provide an option to skip NULL values in a row when generating a JSON

This also makes row_to_json into a single function with default values,
rather than having multiple functions. In passing, change array_to_json

Instead of palloc'ing each HashJoinTuple individually, allocate 32kB chunks

This doesn't contain any planner changes, because the planner's estimate of

The code I added in commit f343a880d5 was
careless about preserving AND/OR flatness: it could create a structure with
an OR node directly underneath another one. That breaks an assumption
that's fairly important for planning efficiency, not to mention triggering
various Asserts (as reported by Benjamin Smith). Add a trifle more logic
to handle the case properly.
Previously, they functioned as barriers against CPU reordering but not
compiler reordering, an odd API that required extensive use of volatile
everywhere that spinlocks are used. That's error-prone and has negative
implications for performance, so change it.
In theory, this makes it safe to remove many of the uses of volatile
that we currently have in our code base, but we may find that there are
some bugs in this effort when we do. In the long run, though, this

Since the dawn of time (aka Postgres95) multiple pins of the same
buffer by one backend have been optimized not to modify the shared
refcount more than once. This optimization has always used a NBuffer
sized array in each backend keeping track of a backend's pins.
That array (PrivateRefCount) was one of the biggest per-backend memory
allocations, depending on the shared_buffers setting. Besides the
waste of memory it also has proven to be a performance bottleneck when
assertions are enabled as we make sure that there's no remaining pins
left at the end of transactions. Also, on servers with lots of memory
and a correspondingly high shared_buffers setting the amount of random
memory accesses can also lead to poor cpu cache efficiency.
Because of these reasons a backend's buffers pins are now kept track
of in a small statically sized array that overflows into a hash table
when necessary. Benchmarks have shown neutral to positive performance
results with considerably lower memory usage.

blocking while waiting for a concurrent transaction.

Per Thomas Munro in the course of his SKIP LOCKED feature submission,
who also provided one of the isolation test specs.
Backpatch to 9.4, because that's as far back as it applies without
conflicts (although the bug goes all the way back). To that branch also
backpatch Thomas Munro's new NOWAIT test cases, committed in master by
Heikki as commit 9ee16b49f0 .
In some cases, not all Vars were being correctly marked as having been
modified for updatable security barrier views, which resulted in invalid
plans (eg: when security barrier views were created over top of
inheiritance structures).
In passing, be sure to update both varattno and varonattno, as _equalVar
won't consider the Vars identical otherwise. This isn't known to cause
any issues with updatable security barrier views, but was noticed as
missing while working on RLS and makes sense to get fixed.
Back-patch to 9.4 where updatable security barrier views were
introduced.
Use SECURITY_LOCAL_USERID_CHANGE while building temporary tables;
only escalate to SECURITY_RESTRICTED_OPERATION while potentially
running user-supplied code. The more secure mode was preventing
temp table creation. Add regression tests to cover this problem.
This fixes Bug #11208 reported by Bruno Emanuel de Andrade Silva.
Backpatch to 9.4, where the bug was introduced.
Prevent automatic oid assignment when in binary upgrade mode. Also
throw an error when contrib/pg_upgrade_support functions are called when
not in binary upgrade mode.
This prevent automatically-assigned oids from conflicting with later
pre-assigned oids coming from the old cluster. It also makes sure oids
are preserved in call important cases.
There's no point in setting up a context error callback when doing
conditional lock acquisition, because we never actually wait and so the
user wouldn't be able to see the context message anywhere. In fact,
this is more in line with what ConditionalXactLockTableWait is doing.
Backpatch to 9.4, where this was added.
The symbol was added by 71901ab6d; the original code was introduced by
6868ed749. Development of both overlapped which is why we apparently
failed to notice.
This is a (very slight) behavior change, so I'm not backpatching this to
9.4 for now, even though the symbol does exist there.
Event triggers want to know the OID of the interesting object created,
which is the main type. The array created as part of the operation is
just a subsidiary object which is not of much interest.
Other DDL commands are already returning the OID, which is required for
future additional event trigger work. This is merely making these
commands in line with the rest of utility command support.
Add a succint comment explaining why it's correct to change the
persistence in this way. Also s/loggedness/persistence/ because native
speakers didn't like the latter term.

CheckConstraintFetch() leaked a cstring in the caller's context for each
CHECK constraint expression it copied into the relcache. Ordinarily that
isn't problematic, but it can be during CLOBBER_CACHE testing because so
many reloads can happen during a single query; so complicate the code
slightly to allow freeing the cstring after use. Per testing on buildfarm
member barnacle.
This is exactly like the leak fixed in AttrDefaultFetch() by commit
078b2ed291. (Yes, this time I did look for
other instances of the same coding pattern :-(.) Like that patch, no
back-patch, since it seems unlikely that there's any problem except under
very artificial test conditions.
BTW, it strikes me that both of these places would require further work
comparable to commit ab8c84db2f, if we ever
supported defaults or check constraints on system catalogs: they both
assume they are copying into an empty relcache data structure, and that
conceivably wouldn't be the case during recursive reloading of a system
catalog. This does not seem worth worrying about for the moment, since
there is no near-term prospect of supporting any such thing. So I'll
just note the possibility for the archives' sake.
This enables changing permanent (logged) tables to unlogged and
vice-versa.
(Docs for ALTER TABLE / SET TABLESPACE got shuffled in an order that
hopefully makes more sense than the original.)

Some tweaking by Álvaro Herrera
Cause the path extraction operators to return their lefthand input,
not NULL, if the path array has no elements. This seems more consistent
since the case ought to correspond to applying the simple extraction
operator (->) zero times.
Cause other corner cases in field/element/path extraction to return NULL
rather than failing. This behavior is arguably more useful than throwing
an error, since it allows an expression index using these operators to be
built even when not all values in the column are suitable for the
extraction being indexed. Moreover, we already had multiple
inconsistencies between the path extraction operators and the simple
extraction operators, as well as inconsistencies between the JSON and
JSONB code paths. Adopt a uniform rule of returning NULL rather than
throwing an error when the JSON input does not have a structure that
permits the request to be satisfied.
Back-patch to 9.4. Update the release notes to list this as a behavior
change since 9.3.
As 'ALTER TABLESPACE .. MOVE ALL' really didn't change the tablespace
but instead changed objects inside tablespaces, it made sense to
rework the syntax and supporting functions to operate under the
'ALTER (TABLE|INDEX|MATERIALIZED VIEW)' syntax and to be in
tablecmds.c.
Pointed out by Alvaro, who also suggested the new syntax.
Back-patch to 9.4.
jsonb's #> operator segfaulted (dereferencing a null pointer) if the RHS
was a zero-length array, as reported in bug #11207 from Justin Van Winkle.
json's #> operator returns NULL in such cases, so for the moment let's
make jsonb act likewise.
Also add a bunch of regression test queries memorializing the -> and #>
operators' behavior for this and other corner cases.
There is a good argument for changing some of these behaviors, as they
are not very consistent with each other, and throwing an error isn't
necessarily a desirable behavior for operators that are likely to be
used in indexes. However, everybody can agree that a core dump is the
Wrong Thing, and we need test cases even if we decide to change their
expected output later.
While the space is optional, it seems nicer to be consistent with what
you get if you do "SET search_path=...". SET always normalizes the
separator to be comma+space.

This reverts commit 083d29c65b.
The commit changed the code so that it causes an errors when
IDENTIFY_SYSTEM returns three columns. But which prevents us
from using the replication-related utilities against the server
with older version. This is not what we want. For that
compatibility, we allow the utilities to receive three columns
as the result of IDENTIFY_SYSTEM eventhough it actually returns
four columns in 9.4 or later.
Pointed out by Andres Freund.
5a991ef869 added new column into
the result of IDENTIFY_SYSTEM command. But it was not reflected into
several codes checking that result. Specifically though the number of
columns in the result was increased to 4, it was still compared with 3
in some replication codes.
Back-patch to 9.4 where the number of columns in IDENTIFY_SYSTEM
result was increased.
Report from Michael Paquier
In support of this, have the MSVC build follow GNU make in preferring
GNUmakefile over Makefile when a directory contains both.
Michael Paquier, reviewed by MauMau.
strncmp() is a specialized API unsuited for routine copying into
fixed-size buffers. On a system where the length of a single filename
can exceed MAXPGPATH, the pg_archivecleanup change prevents a simple
crash in the subsequent strlen(). Few filesystems support names that
long, and calling pg_archivecleanup with untrusted input is still not a
credible use case. Therefore, no back-patch.

Move the functions within the file so that public interface functions come
first, followed by internal functions. Previously, be_tls_write was first,
then internal stuff, and finally the rest of the public interface, which
clearly didn't make much sense.
Per Andres Freund's complaint.
Commit f30015b6d7 made this happen for
timestamp and timestamptz, but it seems pretty inconsistent to not
do it for simple dates as well.
(In passing, I re-pgindent'd json.c.)
PG_RETURN_BOOL() should only be used in functions following the V1 SQL
function API. This coding accidentally fails to fail since letting the
compiler coerce the Datum representation of bool back to plain bool
does give the right answer; but that doesn't make it a good idea.
Back-patch to older branches just to avoid unnecessary code divergence.
This provides a small but worthwhile speedup when sorting text, at least

parseRelOptions() tended to leak memory in the caller's context. Most
of the time this doesn't really matter since the caller's context is
at most query-lifespan, and the function won't be invoked very many times.
However, when testing with CLOBBER_CACHE_RECURSIVELY, the same relcache
entry can get rebuilt a *lot* of times in one query, leading to significant
intraquery memory bloat if it has any reloptions. Noted while
investigating a related report from Tomas Vondra.
In passing, get rid of some Asserts that are redundant with the one
done by deconstruct_array().
As with other patches to avoid leaks in CLOBBER_CACHE testing, it doesn't
really seem worth back-patching this.
When replacing rd_indexlist, rd_indexattr, etc, we neglected to pfree any
old value of these fields. Under ordinary circumstances, the old value
would always be NULL, so this seemed reasonable enough. However, in cases
where we're rebuilding a system catalog's relcache entry and another cache
flush occurs on that same catalog meanwhile, it's possible for the field to
not be NULL when we return to the outer level, because we already refilled
it while recovering from the inner flush. This leads to a fairly small
session-lifespan leak in CacheMemoryContext. In real-world usage the leak
would be too small to notice; but in testing with CLOBBER_CACHE_RECURSIVELY
the leakage can add up to the point of causing OOM failures, as reported by
Tomas Vondra.
The issue has been there a long time, but it only seems worth fixing in
HEAD, like the previous fix in this area (commit 078b2ed291).
When doing logical decoding using START_LOGICAL_REPLICATION in a
walsender process the walsender sometimes was sending out keepalive
messages too frequently. Asking for feedback every time.
WalSndWaitForWal() sends out keepalive messages when it's waiting for
new WAL to be generated locally when it sees that the remote side
hasn't yet flushed WAL up to the local position. That generally is
good but causes problems if the remote side only writes but doesn't
flush changes yet. So check for both remote write and flush position.
Additionally we've asked for feedback to the keepalive message which
isn't warranted when waiting for WAL in contrast to preventing
timeouts because of wal_sender_timeout.
Complaint and patch by Steve Singer.
When both postgresql.conf and postgresql.auto.conf have their own entry of
the same parameter, PostgreSQL uses the entry in postgresql.auto.conf because
it appears last in the configuration scan. IOW, the other entries which appear
earlier are ignored. But, previously, ProcessConfigFile() detected the invalid
settings of even those unused entries and emitted the error messages
complaining about them, at postmaster startup. Complaining about the entries
to ignore is basically useless.
This problem happened because ProcessConfigFile() was called twice at
postmaster startup and the first call read only postgresql.conf. That is, the
first call could check the entry which might be ignored eventually by
the second call which read both postgresql.conf and postgresql.auto.conf.
To work around the problem, this commit changes ProcessConfigFile so that
its first call processes only data_directory and the second one does all the
entries. It's OK to process data_directory in the first call because it's
ensured that data_directory doesn't exist in postgresql.auto.conf.
Back-patch to 9.4 where postgresql.auto.conf was added.
Patch by me. Review by Amit Kapila
This refactoring is in preparation for adding support for other SSL
implementations, with no user-visible effects. There are now two #defines,
USE_OPENSSL which is defined when building with OpenSSL, and USE_SSL which
is defined when building with any SSL implementation. Currently, OpenSSL is
the only implementation so the two #defines go together, but USE_SSL is
supposed to be used for implementation-independent code.
The libpq SSL code is changed to use a custom BIO, which does all the raw
I/O, like we've been doing in the backend for a long time. That makes it
possible to use MSG_NOSIGNAL to block SIGPIPE when using SSL, which avoids
a couple of syscall for each send(). Probably doesn't make much performance
difference in practice - the SSL encryption is expensive enough to mask the
effect - but it was a natural result of this refactoring.
Based on a patch by Martijn van Oosterhout from 2006. Briefly reviewed by
Alvaro Herrera, Andreas Karlsson, Jeff Janes.
There's actually no need for any special case for unknown-type literals,
since we only need to push the value through its output function and
unknownout() works fine. The code that was here was completely bizarre
anyway, and would fail outright in cases that should work, not to mention
suffering from some copy-and-paste bugs.
Fix an obvious typo in json_build_object()'s complaint about invalid
number of arguments, and make the errhint a bit more sensible too.
Per discussion about how to word the improved hint, change the few places
in the documentation that refer to JSON object field names as "names" to
say "keys" instead, since that's what we've said in the vast majority of
places in the docs. Arguably "name" is more correct, since that's the
terminology used in RFC 7159; but we're stuck with "key" in view of the
naming of json_object_keys() so let's at least be self-consistent.
I adjusted a few code comments to match this as well, and failed to
resist the temptation to clean up some odd whitespace choices in the
same area, as well as a useless duplicate PG_ARGISNULL() check. There's
still quite a bit of code that uses the phrase "field name" in non-user-
visible ways, so I left those usages alone.
Such cases are disallowed by the SQL spec, and even if we wanted to allow
them, the semantics seem ambiguous: how should the FK columns be matched up
with the columns of a unique index? (The matching could be significant in
the presence of opclasses with different notions of equality, so this issue
isn't just academic.) However, our code did not previously reject such
cases, but instead would either fail to match to any unique index, or
generate a bizarre opclass-lookup error because of sloppy thinking in the
index-matching code.

This could be useful for datatypes like text, where we might want
to optimize for some collations but not others. However, this patch
doesn't introduce any new sortsupport functions that work this way;
it merely revises the code so that future patches may do so.
Patch by me. Review by Peter Geoghegan.
When more than one setting entries of same parameter exist in the
configuration file, PostgreSQL uses only entry appearing last in
configuration file scan. Since the other entries are not used,
ParseConfigFp() doesn't need to process them, but previously it did
that. This problematic behavior caused the configuration file scan
to detect invalid settings of unused entries (e.g., existence of
multiple entries of PGC_POSTMASTER parameter) and log the messages
complaining about them.
This commit changes the configuration file scan so that it processes
only last entry of each parameter.
Note that when multiple entries of same parameter exist both in
postgresql.conf and postgresql.auto.conf, unused entries in
postgresql.conf are still processed only at postmaster startup.
The problem has existed since old version, but a user is more likely
to encounter it since 9.4 where ALTER SYSTEM command was introduced.
So back-patch to 9.4.
Amit Kapila, slightly modified by me. Per report from Christoph Berg.
log_newpage is used by many indexams, in addition to heap, but for
historical reasons it's always been part of the heapam rmgr. Starting with
9.3, we have another WAL record type for logging an image of a page,
XLOG_FPI. Simplify things by moving log_newpage and log_newpage_buffer to
xlog.c, and switch to using the XLOG_FPI record type.
Bump the WAL version number because the code to replay the old HEAP_NEWPAGE
records is removed.
When autovacuum is nominally off, we will still launch autovac workers
to vacuum tables that are at risk of XID wraparound. But after we'd done
that, an autovac worker would proceed to autovacuum every table in the
targeted database, if they meet the usual thresholds for autovacuuming.
This is at best pretty unexpected; at worst it delays response to the
wraparound threat. Fix it so that if autovacuum is nominally off, we
*only* do forced vacuums and not any other work.
Per gripe from Andrey Zhidenkov. This has been like this all along,
so back-patch to all supported branches.
InitProcess() relies on IsBackgroundWorker to decide whether the PGPROC
for a new backend should be taken from ProcGlobal's freeProcs or from
bgworkerFreeProcs. In EXEC_BACKEND builds, InitProcess() is called
sooner than in non-EXEC_BACKEND builds, and IsBackgroundWorker wasn't
getting initialized soon enough.

Commit 0ac5ad5134 removed an optimization in multixact.c that skipped
fetching members of MultiXactId that were older than our
OldestVisibleMXactId value. The reason this was removed is that it is
possible for multixacts that contain updates to be older than that
value. However, if the caller is certain that the multi does not
contain an update (because the infomask bits say so), it can pass this
info down to GetMultiXactIdMembers, enabling it to use the old
optimization.
Pointed out by Andres Freund in 20131121200517.GM7240@alap2.anarazel.de
Testing for abortedness of a multixact member that's being frozen is
unnecessary: we only need to know whether the transaction is still in
progress or committed to determine whether it must be kept or not. This
let us simplify the code a bit and avoid a useless TransactionIdDidAbort
test.
Suggested by Andres Freund awhile back.
There were several oversights in recovery code where COMMIT/ABORT PREPARED
records were ignored:
* pg_last_xact_replay_timestamp() (wasn't updated for 2PC commits)
* recovery_min_apply_delay (2PC commits were applied immediately)
* recovery_target_xid (recovery would not stop if the XID used 2PC)
The first of those was reported by Sergiy Zuban in bug #11032, analyzed by
Tom Lane and Andres Freund. The bug was always there, but was masked before
commit d19bd29f07, because COMMIT PREPARED
always created an extra regular transaction that was WAL-logged.
Backpatch to all supported versions (older versions didn't have all the
features and therefore didn't have all of the above bugs).
This return code is possible wherever we pass bAlertable = TRUE; it
arises when Windows caused the current thread to run an "I/O completion
routine" or an "asynchronous procedure call". PostgreSQL does not
provoke either of those Windows facilities, hence this bug remaining
largely unnoticed, but other local code might do so. Due to a shortage
of complaints, no back-patch for now.
Per report from Shiv Shivaraju Gowda, this bug can cause
PGSemaphoreLock() to PANIC. The bug can also cause select() to report
timeout expiration too early, which might confuse pgstat_init() and
CheckRADIUSAuth().
shm_mq_send_bytes didn't invariably initialize *bytes_written before
returning, which would cause shm_mq_send to read from uninitialized
memory and add the value it found there to mqh->mqh_partial_bytes.
This could cause the next attempt to send a message via the queue to
fail an assertion (if the queue was detached) or copy data from a
garbage pointer value into the queue (if non-blocking mode was in use).
Nothing in the checkpointer calls InitXLOGAccess(), so WALInsertLocks
never got initialized there. Without EXEC_BACKEND, it works anyway
because the correct value is inherited from the postmaster, but
with EXEC_BACKEND we've got a problem. The problem appears to have
been introduced by commit 68a2e52bba.
To fix, move the relevant initialization steps from InitXLOGAccess()
to XLOGShmemInit(), making this more parallel to what we do
elsewhere.

Ephemeral slots - slots that shouldn't survive database restarts -
weren't properly cleaned up after a immediate/crash restart. They were
ignored in the sense that they weren't restored into memory and thus
didn't cause unwanted resource retention; but they prevented a new
slot with the same name from being created.
Now ephemeral slots are fully removed during startup.
Backpatch to 9.4 where replication slots where added.
The executor has thrown errors for negative OFFSET values since 8.4 (see
commit bfce56eea4), but in a moment of brain
fade I taught the planner that OFFSET with a constant negative value was a
no-op (commit 1a1832eb08). Reinstate the
former behavior by only discarding OFFSET with a value of exactly 0. In
passing, adjust a planner comment that referenced the ancient behavior.
Back-patch to 9.3 where the mistake was introduced.
get_raw_page tried to validate the supplied block number against
RelationGetNumberOfBlocks(), which of course is only right when
accessing the main fork. In most cases, the main fork is longer
than the others, so that the check was too weak (allowing a
lower-level error to be reported, but no real harm to be done).
However, very small tables could have an FSM larger than their heap,
in which case the mistake prevented access to some FSM pages.
Per report from Torsten Foertsch.
In passing, make the bad-block-number error into an ereport not elog
(since it's certainly not an internal error); and fix sloppily
maintained comment for RelationGetNumberOfBlocksInFork.
This has been wrong since we invented relation forks, so back-patch
to all supported branches.
In commit 631dc390f4, we started to handle
simple numeric timezone offsets via the zic library instead of the old
CTimeZone/HasCTZSet kluge. However, we overlooked the fact that the zic
code will reject UTC offsets exceeding a week (which seems a bit arbitrary,
but not because it's too tight ...). This led to possibly setting
session_timezone to NULL, which results in crashes in most timezone-related
operations as of 9.4, and crashes in a small number of places even before
that. So check for NULL return from pg_tzset_offset() and report an
appropriate error message. Per bug #11014 from Duncan Gillis.
Back-patch to all supported branches, like the previous patch.
(Unfortunately, as of today that no longer includes 8.4.)
In commit a61daa14d5, we fixed pg_upgrade so
that it would install sane relminmxid and datminmxid values, but that does
not cure the problem for installations that were already pg_upgraded to
9.3; they'll initially have "1" in those fields. This is not a big problem
so long as 1 is "in the past" compared to the current nextMultiXact
counter. But if an installation were more than halfway to the MXID wrap
point at the time of upgrade, 1 would appear to be "in the future" and
that would effectively disable tracking of oldest MXIDs in those
tables/databases, until such time as the counter wrapped around.
While in itself this isn't worse than the situation pre-9.3, where we did
not manage MXID wraparound risk at all, the consequences of premature
truncation of pg_multixact are worse now; so we ought to make some effort
to cope with this. We discussed advising users to fix the tracking values
manually, but that seems both very tedious and very error-prone.
Instead, this patch adopts two amelioration rules. First, a relminmxid
value that is "in the future" is allowed to be overwritten with a
full-table VACUUM's actual freeze cutoff, ignoring the normal rule that
relminmxid should never go backwards. (This essentially assumes that we
have enough defenses in place that wraparound can never occur anymore,
and thus that a value "in the future" must be corrupt.) Second, if we see
any "in the future" values then we refrain from truncating pg_clog and
pg_multixact. This prevents loss of clog data until we have cleaned up
all the broken tracking data. In the worst case that could result in
considerable clog bloat, but in practice we expect that relfrozenxid-driven
freezing will happen soon enough to fix the problem before clog bloat
becomes intolerable. (Users could do manual VACUUM FREEZEs if not.)
Note that this mechanism cannot save us if there are already-wrapped or
already-truncated-away MXIDs in the table; it's only capable of dealing
with corrupt tracking values. But that's the situation we have with the
pg_upgrade bug.
For consistency, apply the same rules to relfrozenxid/datfrozenxid. There
are not known mechanisms for these to get messed up, but if they were, the
same tactics seem appropriate for fixing them.
When a view has a function-returning-composite in FROM, and there are
some dropped columns in the underlying composite type, ruleutils.c
printed junk in the column alias list for the reconstructed FROM entry.
Before 9.3, this was prevented by doing get_rte_attribute_is_dropped
tests while printing the column alias list; but that solution is not
currently available to us for reasons I'll explain below. Instead,
check for empty-string entries in the alias list, which can only exist
if that column position had been dropped at the time the view was made.
(The parser fills in empty strings to preserve the invariant that the
aliases correspond to physical column positions.)
While this is sufficient to handle the case of columns dropped before
the view was made, we have still got issues with columns dropped after
the view was made. In particular, the view could contain Vars that
explicitly reference such columns! The dependency machinery really
ought to refuse the column drop attempt in such cases, as it would do
when trying to drop a table column that's explicitly referenced in
views. However, we currently neglect to store dependencies on columns
of composite types, and fixing that is likely to be too big to be
back-patchable (not to mention that existing views in existing databases
would not have the needed pg_depend entries anyway). So I'll leave that
for a separate patch.
Pre-9.3, ruleutils would print such Vars normally (with their original
column names) even though it suppressed their entries in the RTE's
column alias list. This is certainly bogus, since the printed view
definition would fail to reload, but at least it didn't crash. However,
as of 9.3 the printed column alias list is tightly tied to the names
printed for Vars; so we can't treat columns as dropped for one purpose
and not dropped for the other. This is why we can't just put back the
get_rte_attribute_is_dropped test: it results in an assertion failure
if the view in fact contains any Vars referencing the dropped column.
Once we've got dependencies preventing such cases, we'll probably want
to do it that way instead of relying on the empty-string test used here.
This fix turned up a very ancient bug in outfuncs/readfuncs, namely
that T_String nodes containing empty strings were not dumped/reloaded
correctly: the node was printed as "<>" which is read as a string
value of <>. Since (per SQL) we disallow empty-string identifiers,
such nodes don't occur normally, which is why we'd not noticed.
(Such nodes aren't used for literal constants, just identifiers.)
Per report from Marc Schablewski. Back-patch to 9.3 which is where
the rule printing behavior changed. The dangling-variable case is
broken all the way back, but that's not what his complaint is about.
If pg_regcomp failed after having invoked markst/cleanst, it would leak any
"struct subre" nodes it had created. (We've already detected all regex
syntax errors at that point, so the only likely causes of later failure
would be query cancel or out-of-memory.) To fix, make sure freesrnode
knows the difference between the pre-cleanst and post-cleanst cleanup
procedures. Add some documentation of this less-than-obvious point.
Also, newlacon did the wrong thing with an out-of-memory failure from
realloc(), so that the previously allocated array would be leaked.
Both of these are pretty low-probability scenarios, but a bug is a bug,
so patch all the way back.
Per bug #10976 from Arthur O'Dwyer.
pg_ctl will log to the Windows event log when it is running as a service,
which is the primary way of running PostgreSQL on Windows. This option
makes it possible to specify which event source to use for this, in order
to separate different instances. The server logging itself is still controlled
by the regular logging parameters, including a separate setting for the event
source. The parameter to pg_ctl only controlls the logging from pg_ctl itself.

The consistent function contained several bugs:
* The "if (which2) { ... }" block was broken. It compared the argument's
lower bound against centroid's upper bound, while it was supposed to compare
the argument's upper bound against the centroid's lower bound (the comment
was correct, code was wrong). Also, it cleared bits in the "which1"
variable, while it was supposed to clear bits in "which2".
* If the argument's upper bound was equal to the centroid's lower bound, we
descended to both halves (= all quadrants). That's unnecessary, searching
the right quadrants is sufficient. This didn't lead to incorrect query
results, but was clearly wrong, and slowed down queries unnecessarily.
* In the case that argument's lower bound is adjacent to the centroid's
upper bound, we also don't need to visit all quadrants. Per similar
reasoning as previous point.
* The code where we compare the previous centroid with the current centroid
should match the code where we compare the current centroid with the
argument. The point of that code is to redo the calculation done in the
previous level, to see if we were supposed to traverse left or right (or up
or down), and if we actually did. If we moved in the different direction,
then we know there are no matches for bound.
Refactor the code and adds comments to make it more readable and easier to
reason about.
Backpatch to 9.3 where SP-GiST support for range types was introduced.
We can remove a left join to a relation if the relation's output is
provably distinct for the columns involved in the join clause (considering
only equijoin clauses) and the relation supplies no variables needed above
the join. Previously, the join removal logic could only prove distinctness
by reference to unique indexes of a table. This patch extends the logic
to consider subquery relations, wherein distinctness might be proven by
reference to GROUP BY, DISTINCT, etc.
We actually already had some code to check that a subquery's output was
provably distinct, but it was hidden inside pathnode.c; which was a pretty
bad place for it really, since that file is mostly boilerplate Path
construction and comparison. Move that code to analyzejoins.c, which is
arguably a more appropriate location, and is certainly the site of the
new usage for it.

Trying to reassign objects owned by a user that had text search
dictionaries or configurations used to fail with:
ERROR: unexpected classid 3600
or
ERROR: unexpected classid 3602
Fix by adding cases for those object types in a switch in pg_shdepend.c.
Both REASSIGN OWNED and text search objects go back all the way to 8.1,
so backpatch to all supported branches. In 9.3 the alter-owner code was
made generic, so the required change in recent branches is pretty
simple; however, for 9.2 and older ones we need some additional
reshuffling to enable specifying objects by OID rather than name.
Text search templates and parsers are not owned objects, so there's no
change required for them.

Both the psql banner and the connection logging already included
SSL status, cipher and bitlength, this adds the information about
compression being on or off.
Prominent binaries already had this metadata. A handful of minor
binaries, such as pg_regress.exe, still lack it; efforts to eliminate
such exceptions are welcome.
