Michael Paquier 8f9aba1874 Skip foreign tablespaces when running pg_checksums/pg_verify_checksums
Attempting to use pg_checksums (pg_verify_checksums in 11) on a data
folder which includes tablespace paths used across multiple major
versions would cause pg_checksums to scan all directories present in
pg_tblspc, and not only marked with TABLESPACE_VERSION_DIRECTORY.  This
could lead to failures when for example running sanity checks on an
upgraded instance with --check.  Even worse, it was possible to rewrite
on-disk pages with --enable for a cluster potentially online.

This commit makes pg_checksums skip any directories not named
TABLESPACE_VERSION_DIRECTORY, similarly to what is done for base
backups.

Michael Paquier 83bd732eb2 createdb: Fix quoting of --encoding, --lc-ctype and --lc-collate
The original coding failed to properly quote those arguments, leading to
failures when using quotes in the values used.  As the quoting can be
encoding-sensitive, the connection to the backend needs to be taken
before applying the correct quoting.

Michael Paquier da2a7180aa Add prefix checks in exclude lists for pg_rewind, pg_checksums and base backups
An instance of PostgreSQL crashing with a bad timing could leave behind
temporary pg_internal.init files, potentially causing failures when
verifying checksums.  As the same exclusion lists are used between
pg_rewind, pg_checksums and basebackup.c, all those tools are extended
with prefix checks to keep everything in sync, with dedicated checks
added for pg_internal.init.

Backpatch down to 11, where pg_checksums (pg_verify_checksums in 11) and
checksum verification for base backups have been introduced.

Tom Lane 612d207bcc Fix confusion about event trigger vs. plain function in plpgsql.
The function hash table keys made by compute_function_hashkey() failed
to distinguish event-trigger call context from regular call context.
This meant that once we'd successfully made a hash entry for an event
trigger (either by validation, or by normal use as an event trigger),
an attempt to call the trigger function as a plain function would
find this hash entry and thereby bypass the you-can't-do-that check in
do_compile().  Thus we'd attempt to execute the function, leading to
strange errors or even crashes, depending on function contents and
server version.

To fix, add an isEventTrigger field to PLpgSQL_func_hashkey,
paralleling the longstanding infrastructure for regular triggers.
This fits into what had been pad space, so there's no risk of an ABI
break, even assuming that any third-party code is looking at these
hash keys.  (I considered replacing isTrigger with a PLpgSQL_trigtype
enum field, but felt that that carried some API/ABI risk.  Maybe we
should change it in HEAD though.)

Per bug #16266 from Alexander Lakhin.  This has been broken since
event triggers were invented, so back-patch to all supported branches.

Fujii Masao 414ed1ca23 Fix mesurement of elapsed time during truncating heap in VACUUM.
VACUUM may truncate heap in several batches. The activity report
is logged for each batch, and contains the number of pages in the table
before and after the truncation, and also the elapsed time during
the truncation. Previously the elapsed time reported in each batch was
the total elapsed time since starting the truncation until finishing
each batch. For example, if the truncation was processed dividing into
three batches, the second batch reported the accumulated time elapsed
during both first and second batches. This is strange and confusing
because the number of pages in the table reported together is not
total. Instead, each batch should report the time elapsed during
only that batch.

The cause of this issue was that the resource usage snapshot was
initialized only at the beginning of the truncation and was never
reset later. This commit fixes the issue by changing VACUUM so that
the resource usage snapshot is reset at each batch.

Amit Kapila bff456d7a0 Stop demanding that top xact must be seen before subxact in decoding.
Manifested as

ERROR:  subtransaction logged without previous top-level txn record

this check forbids legit behaviours like
 - First xl_xact_assignment record is beyond reading, i.e. earlier
   restart_lsn.
 - After restart_lsn there is some change of a subxact.
 - After that, there is second xl_xact_assignment (for another subxact)
   revealing the relationship between top and first subxact.

Such a transaction won't be streamed anyway because we hadn't seen it in
full.  Saying for sure whether xact of some record encountered after
the snapshot was deserialized can be streamed or not requires to know
whether it wrote something before deserialization point --if yes, it
hasn't been seen in full and can't be decoded. Snapshot doesn't have such
info, so there is no easy way to relax the check.

Tom Lane 736ba917f4 Doc: fix old oversights in GRANT/REVOKE documentation.
The GRANTED BY clause in GRANT/REVOKE ROLE has been there since 2005
but was never documented.  I'm not sure now whether that was just an
oversight or was intentional (given the limited capability of the
option).  But seeing that pg_dumpall does emit code that uses this
option, it seems like not documenting it at all is a bad idea.

Also, when we upgraded the syntax to allow CURRENT_USER/SESSION_USER
as the privilege recipient, the role form of GRANT was incorrectly
not modified to show that, and REVOKE's docs weren't touched at all.

Although I'm not that excited about GRANTED BY, the other oversight
seems serious enough to justify a back-patch.

Michael Paquier 7bb710d850 pg_upgrade: Fix quoting of some arguments in pg_ctl command
The previous coding forgot to apply shell quoting to the socket
directory and the data folder, leading to failures when running
pg_upgrade.  This refactors the code generating the pg_ctl command
starting clusters to use a more correct shell quoting.  Failures are
easier to trigger in 12 and newer versions by using a value of
--socketdir that includes quotes, but it is also possible to cause
failures with quotes included in the default socket directory used by
pg_upgrade or the data folders of the clusters involved in the
upgrade.

As 9.4 is going to be EOL'd with the next minor release, nobody is
likely going to upgrade to it now so this branch is not included in the
set of branches fixed.

Commit b10714080 moved the GinPageSetDeleteXid() call to a spot where

It might be a good idea to stop using the single "page" variable for
multiple purposes in this function.  But for the moment I just moved

Fujii Masao ac25e1044f Fix bug in LWLock statistics mechanism.
Previously PostgreSQL built with -DLWLOCK_STATS could report
more than one LWLock statistics entries for the same backend
process and the same LWLock. This is strange and only one
statistics should be output in that case, instead.

The cause of this issue is that the key variable used for
LWLock stats hash table was not fully initialized. The key
consists of two fields and they were initialized. But
the following 4 bytes allocated in the key variable for
the alignment was not initialized. So even if the same key
was specified, hash_search(HASH_ENTER) could not find
the existing entry for that key and created new one.

This commit fixes this issue by initializing the key
variable with zero. As the side effect of this commit,
the volume of LWLock statistics output would be reduced
very much.

Andrew Gierth d8f1c03a46 Force tuple conversion when the source has missing attributes.
Tuple conversion incorrectly concluded that no conversion was needed
as long as all the attributes lined up. But if the source tuple has a
missing attribute (from addition of a column with default), then the
destination tupdesc might not reflect the same default. The typical
symptom was that the affected columns would be unexpectedly NULL.

Repair by always forcing conversion if the source has missing
attributes, which will be filled in by the deform operation. (In
theory we could optimize for when the destination has the same
default, but that seemed overkill.)

Tom Lane 842a23efa9 Fix handling of "Subplans Removed" field in EXPLAIN output.
Commit 499be013d added this field in a rather poorly-thought-through
manner, with the result being that rather than being a field of the
Append or MergeAppend plan node as intended (and as it seems to be,
in text format), it was actually an element of the "Plans" subgroup.
At least in JSON format, that's flat out invalid syntax, because
"Plans" is an array not an object.

While it's not hard to move the generation of the field so that it
appears where it's supposed to, this does result in a visible change
in field order in text format, in cases where a Append or MergeAppend
plan node has any InitPlans attached.  That's slightly annoying to
do in stable branches; but the alternative of continuing to emit
broken non-text formats seems worse.

Also, since the set of fields emitted is not supposed to be
data-dependent in non-text formats, make sure that "Subplans Removed"
appears in Append and MergeAppend nodes even when it's zero, in those
formats.  (The previous coding made it look like it could appear in
some other node types such as BitmapAnd, but we don't actually support
runtime pruning there, so don't emit it in those cases.)

Tom Lane 63634883fb Fix parallel pg_dump/pg_restore for failure to create worker processes.
If we failed to fork a worker process, or create a communication pipe
for one, WaitForTerminatingWorkers would suffer an assertion failure
if assert-enabled, otherwise crash or go into an infinite loop.  This
was a consequence of not accounting for the startup condition where
we've not yet forked all the workers.

The original bug was that ParallelBackupStart would set workerStatus to
WRKR_IDLE before it had successfully forked a worker.  I made things
worse in commit b7b8cc0cf by not understanding the undocumented fact
that the WRKR_TERMINATED state was also meant to represent the case
where a worker hadn't been started yet: I changed enum T_WorkerStatus
so that *all* the worker slots were initially in WRKR_IDLE state.  But
this wasn't any more broken in practice, since even one slot in the
wrong state would keep WaitForTerminatingWorkers from terminating.

In v10 and later, introduce an explicit T_WorkerStatus value for
worker-not-started, in hopes of preventing future oversights of the
same ilk.  Before that, just document that WRKR_TERMINATED is supposed
to cover that case (partly because it wasn't actively broken, and
partly because the enum is exposed outside parallel.c in those branches,
so there's microscopically more risk involved in changing it).
In all branches, introduce a WORKER_IS_RUNNING status test macro
to hide which T_WorkerStatus values mean that, and be more careful
not to access ParallelSlot fields till we're sure they're valid.

Per report from Vignesh C, though this is my patch not his.

a pointer to a local variable.  I think it's wrong; but the coding
is fragile enough, and the savings of one palloc() minimal enough,
that it seems better to just do a palloc() all the time.  (My other
idea of tweaking the if-condition doesn't suppress the warning.)

Back-patch to v11 where this code was introduced.

Thomas Munro 2c56b3ac43 Handle lack of DSM slots in parallel btree build.
If no DSM slots are available, a ParallelContext can still be
created, but its seg pointer is NULL.  Teach parallel btree build
to cope with that by falling back to a regular non-parallel build,
to avoid crashing with a segmentation fault.

Back-patch to 11, where parallel CREATE INDEX landed.

Fujii Masao a5b652f3a0 Make inherited TRUNCATE perform access permission checks on parent table only.
Previously, TRUNCATE command through a parent table checked the
permissions on not only the parent table but also the children tables
inherited from it. This was a bug and inherited queries should perform
access permission checks on the parent table only. This commit fixes
that bug.

Back-patch to all supported branches.

Michael Paquier 374464c3e9 Fix slot data persistency when advancing physical replication slots
Advancing a physical replication slot with pg_replication_slot_advance()
did not mark the slot as dirty if any advancing was done, preventing the
follow-up checkpoint to flush the slot data to disk.  This caused the
advancing to be lost even on clean restarts.  This does not happen for
logical slots as any advancing marked the slot as dirty.  Per
discussion, the original feature has been implemented so as in the event
of a crash the slot may move backwards to a past LSN.  This property is
kept and more documentation is added about that.

This commit adds some new TAP tests to check the persistency of physical
and logical slots after advancing across clean restarts.

Thomas Munro 6a9fc75d03 Avoid unnecessary shm writes in Parallel Hash Join.
Currently, Parallel Hash Join cannot be used for full/right joins,
so there is no point in setting the match flag.  It turns out that
the cache coherence traffic generated by those writes slows down
large systems running many-core joins, so let's stop doing that.
In future, if we need to use match bits in parallel joins, we might
want to consider setting them only if not already set.

Back-patch to 11, where Parallel Hash Join arrived.

Tom Lane 5220ced0de In postgres_fdw, don't try to ship MULTIEXPR updates to remote server.
In a statement like "UPDATE remote_tab SET (x,y) = (SELECT ...)",
we'd conclude that the statement could be directly executed remotely,
because the sub-SELECT is in a resjunk tlist item that's not examined
for shippability.  Currently that ends up crashing if the sub-SELECT
contains any remote Vars.  Prevent the crash by deeming MULTIEXEC
Params to be unshippable.

This is a bit of a brute-force solution, since if the sub-SELECT
*doesn't* contain any remote Vars, the current execution technology
would work; but that's not a terribly common use-case for this syntax,
I think.  In any case, we generally don't try to ship sub-SELECTs, so
it won't surprise anybody that this doesn't end up as a remote direct
update.  I'd be inclined to see if that general limitation can be fixed
before worrying about this case further.

Per report from Lukáš Sobotka.

Back-patch to 9.6.  9.5 had MULTIEXPR, but we didn't try to perform
remote direct updates then, so the case didn't arise anyway.

Tom Lane 7a9fef2990 Fix an oversight in commit 4c70098ff.
I had supposed that the from_char_seq_search() call sites were
all passing the constant arrays you'd expect them to pass ...
but on looking closer, the one for DY format was passing the
days[] array not days_short[].  This accidentally worked because
the day abbreviations in English are all the same as the first
three letters of the full day names.  However, once we took out
the "maximum comparison length" logic, it stopped working.

As penance for that oversight, add regression test cases covering
this, as well as every other switch case in DCH_from_char() that
was not reached according to the code coverage report.

Also, fold the DCH_RM and DCH_rm cases into one --- now that
seq_search is case independent, there's no need to pass different
comparison arrays for those cases.

Back-patch, as the previous commit was.

Tom Lane fb12aefaaf Clean up formatting.c's logic for matching constant strings.
seq_search(), which is used to match input substrings to constants
such as month and day names, had a lot of bizarre and unnecessary
behaviors.  It was mostly possible to avert our eyes from that before,
but we don't want to duplicate those behaviors in the upcoming patch
to allow recognition of non-English month and day names.  So it's time
to clean this up.  In particular:

* seq_search scribbled on the input string, which is a pretty dangerous
thing to do, especially in the badly underdocumented way it was done here.
Fortunately the input string is a temporary copy, but that was being made
three subroutine levels away, making it something easy to break
accidentally.  The behavior is externally visible nonetheless, in the form
of odd case-folding in error reports about unrecognized month/day names.
The scribbling is evidently being done to save a few calls to pg_tolower,
but that's such a cheap function (at least for ASCII data) that it's
pretty pointless to worry about.  In HEAD I switched it to be
pg_ascii_tolower to ensure it is cheap in all cases; but there are corner
cases in Turkish where this'd change behavior, so leave it as pg_tolower
in the back branches.

* seq_search insisted on knowing the case form (all-upper, all-lower,
or initcap) of the constant strings, so that it didn't have to case-fold
them to perform case-insensitive comparisons.  This likewise seems like
excessive micro-optimization, given that pg_tolower is certainly very
cheap for ASCII data.  It seems unsafe to assume that we know the case
form that will come out of pg_locale.c for localized month/day names, so
it's better just to define the comparison rule as "downcase all strings
before comparing".  (The choice between downcasing and upcasing is
arbitrary so far as English is concerned, but it might not be in other
locales, so follow citext's lead here.)

* seq_search also had a parameter that'd cause it to report a match
after a maximum number of characters, even if the constant string were
longer than that.  This was not actually used because no caller passed
a value small enough to cut off a comparison.  Replicating that behavior
for localized month/day names seems expensive as well as useless, so
let's get rid of that too.

* from_char_seq_search used the maximum-length parameter to truncate
the input string in error reports about not finding a matching name.
This leads to rather confusing reports in many cases.  Worse, it is
outright dangerous if the input string isn't all-ASCII, because we
risk truncating the string in the middle of a multibyte character.
That'd lead either to delivering an illegible error message to the
client, or to encoding-conversion failures that obscure the actual
data problem.  Get rid of that in favor of truncating at whitespace
if any (a suggestion due to Alvaro Herrera).

In addition to fixing these things, I const-ified the input string
pointers of DCH_from_char and its subroutines, to make sure there
aren't any other scribbling-on-input problems.

The risk of generating a badly-encoded error message seems like
enough of a bug to justify back-patching, so patch all supported
branches.

Michael Paquier 5b4b07fa9a Fix concurrent indexing operations with temporary tables
Attempting to use CREATE INDEX, DROP INDEX or REINDEX with CONCURRENTLY
on a temporary relation with ON COMMIT actions triggered unexpected
errors because those operations use multiple transactions internally to
complete their work.  Here is for example one confusing error when using
ON COMMIT DELETE ROWS:
ERROR:  index "foo" already contains data

Issues related to temporary relations and concurrent indexing are fixed
in this commit by enforcing the non-concurrent path to be taken for
temporary relations even if using CONCURRENTLY, transparently to the
user.  Using a non-concurrent path does not matter in practice as locks
cannot be taken on a temporary relation by a session different than the
one owning the relation, and the non-concurrent operation is more
effective.

The problem exists with REINDEX since v12 with the introduction of
CONCURRENTLY, and with CREATE/DROP INDEX since CONCURRENTLY exists for
those commands.  In all supported versions, this caused only confusing
error messages to be generated.  Note that with REINDEX, it was also
possible to issue a REINDEX CONCURRENTLY for a temporary relation owned
by a different session, leading to a server crash.

The idea to enforce transparently the non-concurrent code path for
temporary relations comes originally from Andres Freund.
