In bug #12000, Andreas Kunert complained that the documentation was
misleading in saying "FROM T1 CROSS JOIN T2 is equivalent to FROM T1, T2".
That's correct as far as it goes, but the equivalence doesn't hold when
you consider three or more tables, since JOIN binds more tightly than
comma. I added a <note> to explain this, and ended up rearranging some
of the existing text so that the note would make sense in context.
In passing, rewrite the description of JOIN USING, which was unnecessarily
vague, and hadn't been helped any by somebody's reliance on markup as a
substitute for clear writing. (Mostly this involved reintroducing a
concrete example that was unaccountably removed by commit 032f3b7e166cfa28.)
Back-patch to all supported branches.
That includes VACUUM on GIN, GiST and SP-GiST indexes, and B-tree indexes
large enough to cause page deletions in B-tree. Plus some other special
cases.
After this patch, the regression tests generate all different WAL record
types. Not all branches within the redo functions are covered, but it's a
step forward.
In pg_receivexlog, in order to check whether the current WAL file is
being opened or not, its file descriptor has to be checked against -1
as an invalid value. But, oops, 7900e94 added the incorrect test
checking the descriptor against 1. This commit fixes that bug.
Back-patch to 9.4 where the bug was added.
Spotted by Magnus Hagander
When pg_receivexlog --slot is connecting to the server, at the shutdown
of the server, walsender keeps waiting for the last WAL record to be
replicated and flushed in pg_receivexlog. But previously pg_receivexlog
issued sync command only when WAL file was switched. So there was
the case where the last WAL was never flushed and walsender had to
keep waiting infinitely. This caused the server shutdown to get stuck.
pg_recvlogical handles this problem by calling fsync() when it receives
the request of immediate reply from the server. That is, at shutdown,
walsender sends the request, pg_recvlogical receives it, flushes the last
WAL record, and sends the flush location back to the server. Since
walsender can see that the last WAL record is successfully flushed, it can
exit cleanly.
This commit introduces the same logic as pg_recvlogical has,
to pg_receivexlog.
Back-patch to 9.4 where pg_receivexlog was changed so that it can use
the replication slot.

Bug report by Furuya Osamu.
The regression test cases added in commits b2cbced9e et al depended in part
on the Russian timezone offset changes of Oct 2014. While this is of no
particular concern for a default Postgres build, it was possible for a
build using --with-system-tzdata to fail the tests if the system tzdata
database wasn't au courant. Bjorn Munch and Christoph Berg both complained
about this while packaging 9.4rc1, so we probably shouldn't insist on the
system tzdata being up-to-date. Instead, make an equivalent test using a
zone change that occurred in Venezuela in 2007. With this patch, the
regression tests should pass using any tzdata set from 2012 or later.
(I can't muster much sympathy for somebody using --with-system-tzdata
on a machine whose system tzdata is more than three years out-of-date.)
These comments don't seem to have been touched in a long time. Make them

pg_dump/parallel.c was using realloc() directly with no error check.
While the odds of an actual failure here seem pretty low, Coverity
complains about it, so fix by using pg_realloc() instead.
While looking for other instances, I noticed a couple of places in
psql that hadn't gotten the memo about the availability of pg_realloc.
These aren't bugs, since they did have error checks, but verbosely
inconsistent code is not a good thing.
Back-patch as far as 9.3. 9.2 did not have pg_dump/parallel.c, nor
did it have pg_realloc available in all frontend code.
For <, <=, > and >= strategies, mark the first scan key
as already matched if scanning in an appropriate direction.
If index tuple contains no nulls we can skip the first

Allows pg_dump to use a snapshot previously defined by a concurrent
session that has either used pg_export_snapshot() or obtained a
snapshot when creating a logical slot. When this option is used with
parallel pg_dump, the snapshot defined by this option is used and no
new snapshot is taken.
Simon Riggs and Michael Paquier
Previously pg_receivexlog flushed WAL data only when WAL file was switched.
Then 3dad73e added -F option to pg_receivexlog so that users could control
how frequently sync commands were issued to WAL files. It also allowed users
to make pg_receivexlog flush WAL data immediately after writing by
specifying 0 in -F option. However feedback messages were not sent back
immediately even after a flush location was updated. So even if WAL data
was flushed in real time, the server could not see that for a while.
This commit removes -F option from and adds --synchronous to pg_receivexlog.
If --synchronous is specified, like the standby's wal receiver, pg_receivexlog
flushes WAL data as soon as there is WAL data which has not been flushed yet.
Then it sends back the feedback message identifying the latest flush location
to the server. This option is useful to make pg_receivexlog behave as sync
standby by using replication slot, for example.

There was some confusion on how to record the case that the operation
unlinks the last non-leaf page in the branch being deleted.
_bt_unlink_halfdead_page set the "topdead" field in the WAL record to

block number in that case. This commit fixes _bt_unlink_halfdead_page to
do what the redo routine expected.

Buildfarm members with CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS advised us that commit
85b506bbfc was mistaken in setting the relpersistence value of the
index directly in the relcache entry, within reindex_index. The reason
for the failure is that an invalidation message that comes after mucking
with the relcache entry directly, but before writing it to the catalogs,
would cause the entry to become rebuilt in place from catalogs with the
old contents, losing the update.
Fix by passing the correct persistence value to
RelationSetNewRelfilenode instead; this routine also writes the updated
tuple to pg_class, avoiding the problem. Suggested by Tom Lane.

630cd14426 added initdb --sync-only, for use by pg_upgrade, by just
exposing the existing fsync code. That's wrong, because initdb so far
had absolutely no reason to deal with tablespaces.
Fix --sync-only by additionally explicitly syncing each of the
tablespaces.

Unlogged relations are only reset when performing a unclean
restart. That means they have to be synced to disk during clean
shutdowns. During normal processing that's achieved by registering a
buffer's file to be fsynced at the next checkpoint when flushed. But
ResetUnloggedRelations() doesn't go through the buffer manager, so
nothing will force reset relations to disk before the next shutdown
checkpoint.
So just make ResetUnloggedRelations() fsync the newly created main
forks to disk.

Unlogged relations are reset at the end of crash recovery as they're
only synced to disk during a proper shutdown. Unfortunately that and
later steps can fail, e.g. due to running out of space. This reset
was, up to now performed after marking the database as having finished
crash recovery successfully. As out of space errors trigger a crash
restart that could lead to the situation that not all unlogged
relations are reset.
Once that happend usage of unlogged relations could yield errors like
"could not open file "...": No such file or directory". Luckily
clusters that show the problem can be fixed by performing a immediate
shutdown, and starting the database again.
To fix, just call ResetUnloggedRelations(UNLOGGED_RELATION_INIT)
earlier, before marking the database as having successfully recovered.

Per discussion of bug #11661. Original text by Marti Raudsepp and Michael
Paquier, rewritten significantly by me.
The initial patch for RLS mistakenly included headers associated with
the executor and planner bits in rewrite/rowsecurity.h. Per policy and
general good sense, executor headers should not be included in planner
headers or vice versa.
The include of execnodes.h was a mistaken holdover from previous
versions, while the include of relation.h was used for Relation's
definition, which should have been coming from utils/relcache.h. This
patch cleans these issues up, adds comments to the RowSecurityPolicy
struct and the RowSecurityConfigType enum, and changes Relation->rsdesc
to Relation->rd_rsdesc to follow Relation field naming convention.
Additionally, utils/rel.h was including rewrite/rowsecurity.h, which
wasn't a great idea since that was pulling in things not really needed
in utils/rel.h (which gets included in quite a few places). Instead,
use 'struct RowSecurityDesc' for the rd_rsdesc field and add comments
explaining why.
Lastly, add an include into access/nbtree/nbtsort.c for
utils/sortsupport.h, which was evidently missed due to the above mess.

While at it, throw in some extra tests for nulls as well, and make sure
that the set of data we insert on the second round is not identical to
the first one. Both measures are intended to improve coverage of the
test.
Also uncomment the ON COMMIT DROP clause on the CREATE TEMP TABLE
commands. This doesn't have any effect for someone examining the
regression database after the tests are done, but it reduces clutter for
those that execute the script directly.
This function has a loop which can lead to uninterruptible process
"stalls" (actually infinite loops) when some bugs are triggered. Avoid
that unpleasant situation by adding a check for interrupts in a place
that shouldn't degrade performance in the normal case.
Backpatch to 9.3. Older branches have an identical loop here, but the
aforementioned bugs are only a problem starting in 9.3 so there doesn't
seem to be any point in backpatching any further.
In some workloads BufferGetBlockNumber() shows up in profiles due to
the sheer number of calls to it (and because it causes cache
misses). The compiler can't move it out of the loop because it's a
full extern function call...
pg_atomic_init_u64 (indirectly) uses compare/exchange to guarantee

64bit writes aren't atomic (yes, those exist). That leads to a

Fix breakage induced by commits d8d3d2a4f3
and 463f2625a5fb183b6a8925ccde98bb3889f921d9: pg_dumpall has crashed when
attempting to dump from pre-8.1 servers since then, due to faulty
construction of the query used for dumping roles from older servers.
The query was erroneous as of the earlier commit, but it wasn't exposed
unless you tried to use --binary-upgrade, which you presumably wouldn't
with a pre-8.1 server. However commit 463f2625a made it fail always.
In HEAD, also fix additional breakage induced in the same query by
commit 491c029dbc, which evidently wasn't
tested against pre-8.1 servers either.
The bug is only latent in 9.1 because 463f2625a hadn't landed yet, but
it seems best to back-patch all branches containing the faulty query.

There are basically three situations in which logical decoding needs
to perform cache invalidation. During/After replaying a transaction
with catalog changes, when skipping a uninteresting transaction that
performed catalog changes and when erroring out while replaying a
transaction. Unfortunately these three cases were all done slightly
differently - partially because 8de3e410fa, which greatly simplifies
matters, got committed in the midst of the development of logical
decoding.
The actually problematic case was when logical decoding skipped
transaction commits (and thus processed invalidations). When used via
the SQL interface cache invalidation could access the catalog - bad,
because we didn't set up enough state to allow that correctly. It'd
not be hard to setup sufficient state, but the simpler solution is to
always perform cache invalidation outside a valid transaction.
Also make the different cache invalidation cases look as similar as
possible, to ease code review.
This fixes the assertion failure reported by Antonin Houska in
53EE02D9.7040702@gmail.com. The presented testcase has been expanded
into a regression test.
Backpatch to 9.4, where logical decoding was introduced.
When building the initial historic catalog snapshot there were
scenarios where snapbuild.c would use incorrect xmin/xmax values when
starting from a xl_running_xacts record. The values used were always a
bit suspect, but happened to be correct in the easy to test
cases. Notably the values used when the the initial snapshot was
computed while no other transactions were running were correct.
This is likely to be the cause of the occasional buildfarm failures on
animals markhor and tick; but it's quite possible to reproduce
problems without CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS.
Backpatch to 9.4, where logical decoding was introduced.
There was a window in RestoreBackupBlock where a page would be zeroed out,
but not yet locked. If a backend pinned and locked the page in that window,
it saw the zeroed page instead of the old page or new page contents, which
could lead to missing rows in a result set, or errors.
To fix, replace RBM_ZERO with RBM_ZERO_AND_LOCK, which atomically pins,
zeroes, and locks the page, if it's not in the buffer cache already.
In stable branches, the old RBM_ZERO constant is renamed to RBM_DO_NOT_USE,
to avoid breaking any 3rd party extensions that might use RBM_ZERO. More
importantly, this avoids renumbering the other enum values, which would
cause even bigger confusion in extensions that use ReadBufferExtended, but
haven't been recompiled.
Backpatch to all supported versions; this has been racy since hot standby
was introduced.
The hope is that we can use this to produce better diagnostics in
some cases.

This only happens if a client issues a Parse message with an empty query
string, which is a bit odd; but since it is explicitly called out as legal
by our FE/BE protocol spec, we'd probably better continue to allow it.
Fix by adding tests everywhere that the raw_parse_tree field is passed to
functions that don't or shouldn't accept NULL. Also make it clear in the
relevant comments that NULL is an expected case.
This reverts commits a73c9dbab0 and
2e9650cbcf, which fixed specific crash
symptoms by hacking things at what now seems to be the wrong end, ie the
callee functions. Making the callees allow NULL is superficially more
robust, but it's not always true that there is a defensible thing for the
callee to do in such cases. The caller has more context and is better
able to decide what the empty-query case ought to do.
Per followup discussion of bug #11335. Back-patch to 9.2. The code
before that is sufficiently different that it would require development
of a separate patch, which doesn't seem worthwhile for what is believed
to be an essentially cosmetic change.
Heikki noticed in 544E23C0.8090605@vmware.com that slot.c and
snapbuild.c were missing the FIN_CRC32 call when computing/checking
checksums of on disk files. That doesn't lower the the error detection
capabilities of the checksum, but is inconsistent with other usages.
In a followup mail Heikki also noticed that, contrary to a comment,
the 'version' and 'length' struct fields of replication slot's on disk
data where not covered by the checksum. That's not likely to lead to
actually missed corruption as those fields are cross checked with the
expected version and the actual file length. But it's wrong
nonetheless.
As fixing these issues makes existing on disk files unreadable, bump
the expected versions of on disk files for both slots and logical
decoding historic catalog snapshots. This means that loading old
files will fail with
ERROR: "replication slot file ... has unsupported version 1"
and
ERROR: "snapbuild state file ... has unsupported version 1 instead of
2" respectively. Given the low likelihood of anybody already using
these new features in a production setup that seems acceptable.
Fixing these issues made me notice that there's no regression test
covering the loading of historic snapshot from disk - so add one.
Backpatch to 9.4 where these features were introduced.
Currently the extension's pg_prewarm() function didn't check
interrupts once it started "warming" data. Since individual calls can
take a long while it's important for them to be interruptible.

On Windows, DROP TABLESPACE has a race condition when run concurrently
