Previously, it was possible to specify one or several custom scripts to
run, or only one of the builtin scripts. With this patch it is also
possible to specify to run the builtin scripts multiple times, using the
new -b option. Also, unify the code for both cases; this eases future
pgbench improvements.

We entirely randomly chose to initialize port->remote_host just after
printing the log_connections message, when we could perfectly well do it
just before, allowing %h and %r to work for that message. Per gripe from
Artem Tomyuk.
The original coding was quite fast so long as objects were always
released in reverse order of addition; otherwise, it degenerated into
O(N^2) behavior due to searching for the array element to delete.
Improve matters by switching to hashed storage when the number of
objects of a given type exceeds 64. (The cutover point is open to
discussion, of course, but some simple performance testing suggests
that hashing has enough overhead to be a loser below there.)
Also, refactor resowner.c so that we don't need N copies of the array
management code. Since all the resource IDs the code currently needs
to deal with are either pointers or integers, it seems sufficient to
create a one-size-fits-all infrastructure in which everything is
converted to a Datum for storage.

Buildfarm member cockatiel is still saying that cosd(60) isn't 0.5.
What seems likely is that the subexpression (1.0 - cos(x)) isn't being
rounded to double width before more arithmetic is done on it, so force
that by storing it into a variable.
The last round didn't do it. Per Noah Misch, the problem on at least
some machines is that the compiler pre-evaluates trig functions having
constant arguments using code slightly different from what will be used
at runtime. Therefore, we must prevent the compiler from seeing constant
arguments to any of the libm trig functions used in this code.
The method used here might still fail if init_degree_constants() gets
inlined into the call sites. That probably won't happen given the large
number of call sites; but if it does, we could probably fix it by making
init_degree_constants() non-static. I'll avoid that till proven
necessary, though.
The buildfarm isn't very happy with the results of commit e1bd684a34.
To try to get the expected exact results everywhere:
* Replace M_PI / 180 subexpressions with a precomputed constant, so that
the compiler can't decide to rearrange that division with an adjacent
operation. Hopefully this will fix failures to get exactly 0.5 from
sind(30) and cosd(60).
* Add scaling to ensure that tand(45) and cotd(45) give exactly 1; there
was nothing particularly guaranteeing that before.
* Replace minus zero by zero when tand() or cotd() would output that;
many machines did so for tand(180) and cotd(270), but not all. We could
alternatively deem both results valid, but that doesn't seem likely to
be what users will want.

Ensure that the trig functions return NaN for NaN input regardless of what
the underlying C library functions might do. Also ensure that an error
is thrown for Inf (or otherwise out-of-range) input, except for atan/atan2
which should accept it.
All these behaviors should now conform to the POSIX spec; previously, all
our popular platforms deviated from that in one case or another.
The main remaining platform dependency here is whether the C library might
choose to throw a domain error for sin/cos/tan inputs that are large but
less than infinity. (Doing so is not unreasonable, since once a single
unit-in-the-last-place exceeds PI, there can be no significance at all in
the result; however there doesn't seem to be any suggestion in POSIX that
such an error is allowed.) We will report such errors if they are reported
via "errno", but not if they are reported via "fetestexcept" which is the
other mechanism sanctioned by POSIX. Some preliminary experiments with
fetestexcept indicated that it might also report errors we could do
without, such as complaining about underflow at an unreasonably large
threshold. So let's skip that complexity for now.

Commit e529cd4ffa introduced an Assert requiring NAMEDATALEN to be
less than MAX_LEVENSHTEIN_STRLEN, which has been 255 for a long time.
Since up to that instant we had always allowed NAMEDATALEN to be
substantially more than that, this was ill-advised.
It's debatable whether we need MAX_LEVENSHTEIN_STRLEN at all (versus
putting a CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS into the loop), or whether it has to be
so tight; but this patch takes the narrower approach of just not applying
the MAX_LEVENSHTEIN_STRLEN limit to calls from the parser.
Trusting the parser for this seems reasonable, first because the strings
are limited to NAMEDATALEN which is unlikely to be hugely more than 256,
and second because the maximum distance is tightly constrained by
MAX_FUZZY_DISTANCE (though we'd forgotten to make use of that limit in one
place). That means the cost is not really O(mn) but more like O(max(m,n)).
Relaxing the limit for user-supplied calls is left for future research;
given the lack of complaints to date, it doesn't seem very high priority.
In passing, fix confusion between lengths-in-bytes and lengths-in-chars
in comments and error messages.
Per gripe from Kevin Day; solution suggested by Robert Haas. Back-patch
to 9.5 where the unwanted restriction was introduced.
Historically, extract() just returned zero for any case involving an
infinite timestamp[tz] input; even cases in which the unit name was
invalid. This is not very sensible. Instead, return infinity or
-infinity as appropriate when the requested field is one that is
monotonically increasing (e.g, year, epoch), or NULL when it is not
(e.g., day, hour). Also, throw the expected errors for bad unit names.

The amvalidate functions added in commit 65c5fcd353 were on the
crude side. Improve them in a few ways:
* Perform signature checking for operators and support functions.
* Apply more thorough checks for missing operators and functions,
where possible.
* Instead of reporting problems as ERRORs, report most problems as INFO
messages and make the amvalidate function return FALSE. This allows
more than one problem to be discovered per run.
* Report object names rather than OIDs, and work a bit harder on making
the messages understandable.
Also, remove a few more opr_sanity regression test queries that are
now superseded by the amvalidate checks.
Putting a reference to an expanded-format value into a Const node would be
a bad idea for a couple of reasons. It'd be possible for the supposedly
immutable Const to change value, if something modified the referenced
variable ... in fact, if the Const's reference were R/W, any function that
has the Const as argument might itself change it at runtime. Also, because
datumIsEqual() is pretty simplistic, the Const might fail to compare equal
to other Consts that it should compare equal to, notably including copies
of itself. This could lead to unexpected planner behavior, such as "could
not find pathkey item to sort" errors or inferior plans.
I have not been able to find any way to get an expanded value into a Const
within the existing core code; but Paul Ramsey was able to trigger the
problem by writing a datatype input function that returns an expanded
value.
The best fix seems to be to establish a rule that varlena values being
placed into Const nodes should be passed through pg_detoast_datum().
That will do nothing (and cost little) in normal cases, but it will flatten
expanded values and thereby avoid the above problems. Also, it will
convert short-header or compressed values into canonical format, which will
avoid possible unexpected lack-of-equality issues for those cases too.
And it provides a last-ditch defense against putting a toasted value into
a Const, which we already knew was dangerous, cf commit 2b0c86b665.
(In the light of this discussion, I'm no longer sure that that commit
provided 100% protection against such cases, but this fix should do it.)
The test added in commit 65c3d05e18 to catch datatype input functions
with unstable results would fail for functions that returned expanded
values; but it seems a bit uncharitable to deem a result unstable just
because it's expressed in expanded form, so revise the coding so that we
check for bitwise equality only after applying pg_detoast_datum(). That's
a sufficient condition anyway given the new rule about detoasting when
forming a Const.
Back-patch to 9.5 where the expanded-object facility was added. It's
possible that this should go back further; but in the absence of clear
evidence that there's any live bug in older branches, I'll refrain for now.

The core innovation of this patch is the introduction of the concept
of a partial path; that is, a path which if executed in parallel will
generate a subset of the output rows in each process. Gathering a
partial path produces an ordinary (complete) path. This allows us to
generate paths for parallel joins by joining a partial path for one
side (which at the baserel level is currently always a Partial Seq
Scan) to an ordinary path on the other side. This is subject to
various restrictions at present, especially that this strategy seems
unlikely to be sensible for merge joins, so only nested loops and
hash joins paths are generated.
This also allows an Append node to be pushed below a Gather node in
the case of a partitioned table.
Testing revealed that early versions of this patch made poor decisions
in some cases, which turned out to be caused by the fact that the
original cost model for Parallel Seq Scan wasn't very good. So this
patch tries to make some modest improvements in that area.
There is much more to be done in the area of generating good parallel
plans in all cases, but this seems like a useful step forward.
Patch by me, reviewed by Dilip Kumar and Amit Kapila.
Aggregate nodes now have two new modes: a "partial" mode where they
output the unfinalized transition state, and a "finalize" mode where
they accept unfinalized transition states rather than individual
values as input.
These new modes are not used anywhere yet, but they will be necessary
for parallel aggregation. The infrastructure also figures to be
useful for cases where we want to aggregate local data and remote
data via the FDW interface, and want to bring back partial aggregates
from the remote side that can then be combined with locally generated
partial aggregates to produce the final value. It may also be useful
even when neither FDWs nor parallelism are in play, as explained in
the comments in nodeAgg.c.

GIN had some minor issues too, mostly using "internal" where something
else would be more appropriate. I went with the same approach as in
9ff60273e3, namely preferring the opclass' indexed datatype for
arguments that receive an operator RHS value, even if that's not
necessarily what they really are.
Again, this is with an eye to having a uniform rule for ginvalidate()
to check support function signatures.
The conventions specified by the GiST SGML documentation were widely
ignored. For example, the strategy-number argument for "consistent" and
"distance" functions is specified to be a smallint, but most of the
built-in support functions declared it as an integer, and for that matter
the core code passed it using Int32GetDatum not Int16GetDatum. None of
that makes any real difference at runtime, but it's quite confusing for
newcomers to the code, and it makes it very hard to write an amvalidate()
function that checks support function signatures. So let's try to instill
some consistency here.
Another similar issue is that the "query" argument is not of a single
well-defined type, but could have different types depending on the strategy
(corresponding to search operators with different righthand-side argument
types). Some of the functions threw up their hands and declared the query
argument as being of "internal" type, which surely isn't right ("any" would
have been more appropriate); but the majority position seemed to be to
declare it as being of the indexed data type, corresponding to a search
operator with both input types the same. So I've specified a convention
that that's what to do always.
Also, the result of the "union" support function actually must be of the
index's storage type, but the documentation suggested declaring it to
return "internal", and some of the functions followed that. Standardize
on telling the truth, instead.
Similarly, standardize on declaring the "same" function's inputs as
being of the storage type, not "internal".
Also, somebody had forgotten to add the "recheck" argument to both
the documentation of the "distance" support function and all of their
SQL declarations, even though the C code was happily using that argument.
Clean that up too.
Fix up some other omissions in the docs too, such as documenting that
union's second input argument is vestigial.
So far as the errors in core function declarations go, we can just fix
pg_proc.h and bump catversion. Adjusting the erroneous declarations in
contrib modules is more debatable: in principle any change in those
scripts should involve an extension version bump, which is a pain.
However, since these changes are purely cosmetic and make no functional
difference, I think we can get away without doing that.
This code has been there for a long time, but it's never really been
needed. Cygwin has its own utility for registering, unregistering,
stopping and starting Windows services, and that's what's used in the
Cygwin postgres packages. So now pg_ctl for Cygwin looks like it is for
any Unix platform.

This patch reduces pg_am to just two columns, a name and a handler
function. All the data formerly obtained from pg_am is now provided
in a C struct returned by the handler function. This is similar to
the designs we've adopted for FDWs and tablesample methods. There
are multiple advantages. For one, the index AM's support functions
are now simple C functions, making them faster to call and much less
error-prone, since the C compiler can now check function signatures.
For another, this will make it far more practical to define index access
methods in installable extensions.
A disadvantage is that SQL-level code can no longer see attributes
of index AMs; in particular, some of the crosschecks in the opr_sanity
regression test are no longer possible from SQL. We've addressed that
by adding a facility for the index AM to perform such checks instead.
(Much more could be done in that line, but for now we're content if the
amvalidate functions more or less replace what opr_sanity used to do.)
We might also want to expose some sort of reporting functionality, but
this patch doesn't do that.
Alexander Korotkov, reviewed by Petr Jelínek, and rather heavily
editorialized on by me.
Coverity quite reasonably complained that this check for fout==NULL
occurred after we'd already dereferenced fout. However, the check
is just dead code since there is no code path by which CreateArchive
can return a null pointer. Errors such as can't-open-that-file are
reported down inside CreateArchive, and control doesn't return.
So let's silence the warning by removing the dead code, rather than
continuing to pretend it does something.
Coverity didn't complain about this before 5b5fea2a1, so back-patch
to 9.5 like that patch.
There's no good reason for stomping on the input data; it makes the logic
in this function no simpler, in fact probably the reverse. And it makes
it impossible to separate path generation from plan generation, as I'm
working towards doing; that will require more than one traversal of these
lists.
We can never leak more than one token, but we shouldn't do that. We
don't bother closing it in the error paths since the process will
exit shortly anyway.

pg_dump's original approach to handling extension member objects was to
run around and clear (or set) their dump flags rather late in its data
collection process. Unfortunately, quite a lot of code expects those flags
to be valid before that; which was an entirely reasonable expectation
before we added extensions. In particular, this explains Karsten Hilbert's
recent report of pg_upgrade failing on a database in which an extension
has been installed into the pg_catalog schema. Its objects are initially
marked as not-to-be-dumped on the strength of their schema, and later we
change them to must-dump because we're doing a binary upgrade of their
extension; but we've already skipped essential tasks like making associated
DO_SHELL_TYPE objects.
To fix, collect extension membership data first, and incorporate it in the
initial setting of the dump flags, so that those are once again correct
from the get-go. This has the undesirable side effect of slightly
lengthening the time taken before pg_dump acquires table locks, but testing
suggests that the increase in that window is not very much.
Along the way, get rid of ugly special-case logic for deciding whether
to dump procedural languages, FDWs, and foreign servers; dump decisions
for those are now correct up-front, too.
In 9.3 and up, this also fixes erroneous logic about when to dump event
triggers (basically, they were *always* dumped before). In 9.5 and up,
transform objects had that problem too.
Since this problem came in with extensions, back-patch to all supported
versions.
Rather than passing around DumpOptions and RestoreOptions as separate
arguments, add fields to struct Archive to carry pointers to these objects,
and access them through those fields when needed. There already was a
RestoreOptions pointer in Archive, though for no obvious reason it was part
of the "private" struct rather than out where pg_dump.c could see it.
Doing this allows reversion of quite a lot of parameter-addition changes
made in commit 0eea8047bf, which is a good thing IMO because this will
reduce the code delta between 9.4 and 9.5, probably easing a few future
back-patch efforts. Moreover, the previous commit only added a DumpOptions
argument to functions that had to have it at the time, which means we could
anticipate still more code churn (and more back-patch hazard) as the
requirement spread further. I'd hit exactly that problem in my upcoming
patch to fix extension membership marking, which is what motivated me to
do this.
The completion of CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY was lacking in several ways
compared to a plain CREATE INDEX command:
- CREATE INDEX <name> ON completes table names, but didn't with
CONCURRENTLY.
- CREATE INDEX completes ON and existing index names, but with
CONCURRENTLY it only completed ON.
- CREATE INDEX <name> completes ON, but didn't with CONCURRENTLY.
These are now all fixed.
The previous code supported a syntax like CREATE INDEX name
CONCURRENTLY, which never existed. Mistake introduced in commit
37ec19a15c. Remove the addition of
CONCURRENTLY at that point.
Commit 866566a690 introduced a new mechanism for incompatible
plpythons to detect each other. I left the old mechanism in place,
because it seems possible that a plpython predating that commit might be
used with one postdating it. (This would require updating plpython3 but
not plpython2 or vice versa, but that seems well within the realm of
possibility.) However, surely it will not be able to happen in 9.6 or
later, so we can delete the old mechanism in HEAD.
Commit 803716013d installed a safeguard against loading plpython2
and plpython3 at the same time, but asserted that both could still be
used in the same database, just not in the same session. However, that's
not actually all that practical because dumping and reloading will fail
(since both libraries necessarily get loaded into the restoring session).
pg_upgrade is even worse, because it checks for missing libraries by
loading every .so library mentioned in the entire installation into one
session, so that you can have only one across the whole cluster.
We can improve matters by not throwing the error immediately in _PG_init,
but only when and if we're asked to do something that requires calling
into libpython. This ameliorates both of the above situations, since
while execution of CREATE LANGUAGE, CREATE FUNCTION, etc will result in
loading plpython, it isn't asked to do anything interesting (at least
not if check_function_bodies is off, as it will be during a restore).
It's possible that this opens some corner-case holes in which a crash
could be provoked with sufficient effort. However, since plpython
only exists as an untrusted language, any such crash would require
superuser privileges, making it "don't do that" not a security issue.
To reduce the hazards in this area, the error is still FATAL when it
does get thrown.
Per a report from Paul Jones. Back-patch to 9.2, which is as far back
as the patch applies without work. (It could be made to work in 9.1,
but given the lack of previous complaints, I'm disinclined to expend
effort so far back. We've been pretty desultory about support for
Python 3 in 9.1 anyway.)
This loop uselessly fetched the argument after the one it's currently
looking at. No real harm is done since we couldn't possibly fetch off
the end of memory, but it's confusing to the reader.
Also remove a duplicate (and therefore confusing) PG_ARGISNULL check in
jsonb_build_object.
I happened to notice these things while trolling for missed null-arg
checks earlier today. Back-patch to 9.5, not because there is any
real bug, but just because 9.5 and HEAD are still in sync in this
file and we might as well keep them so.
In passing, re-pgindent.
I noticed that the sanity checks in the regression tests omitted to
check a couple of "poor man's enum" columns that you'd reasonably
expect them to check.
There are other "char"-type columns in system catalogs that are not
covered by either type_sanity or opr_sanity, e.g. pg_rewrite.ev_type.
However, those catalogs are not populated with any manually-created
data during bootstrap, so it seems less necessary to check them
this way.
A scan for missed proisstrict markings in the core code turned up
these functions:
brin_summarize_new_values
pg_stat_reset_single_table_counters
pg_stat_reset_single_function_counters
pg_create_logical_replication_slot
pg_create_physical_replication_slot
pg_drop_replication_slot
The first three of these take OID, so a null argument will normally look
like a zero to them, resulting in "ERROR: could not open relation with OID
0" for brin_summarize_new_values, and no action for the pg_stat_reset_XXX
functions. The other three will dump core on a null argument, though this
is mitigated by the fact that they won't do so until after checking that
the caller is superuser or has rolreplication privilege.
In addition, the pg_logical_slot_get/peek[_binary]_changes family was
intentionally marked nonstrict, but failed to make nullness checks on all
the arguments; so again a null-pointer-dereference crash is possible but
only for superusers and rolreplication users.
Add the missing ARGISNULL checks to the latter functions, and mark the
former functions as strict in pg_proc. Make that change in the back
branches too, even though we can't force initdb there, just so that
installations initdb'd in future won't have the issue. Since none of these
bugs rise to the level of security issues (and indeed the pg_stat_reset_XXX
functions hardly misbehave at all), it seems sufficient to do this.
In addition, fix some order-of-operations oddities in the slot_get_changes
family, mostly cosmetic, but not the part that moves the function's last
few operations into the PG_TRY block. As it stood, there was significant
risk for an error to exit without clearing historical information from
the system caches.
The slot_get_changes bugs go back to 9.4 where that code was introduced.
Back-patch appropriate subsets of the pg_proc changes into all active
branches, as well.
Given syntactically wrong input, widget_in() could call atof() with an
indeterminate pointer argument, typically leading to a crash; or if it
didn't do that, it might return a NULL pointer, which again would lead
to a crash since old-style C functions aren't supposed to do things
that way. Fix that by correcting the off-by-one syntax test and
throwing a proper error rather than just returning NULL.
Also, since widget_in and widget_out have been marked STRICT for a
long time, their tests for null inputs are just dead code; remove 'em.
In the oldest branches, also improve widget_out to use snprintf not
sprintf, just to be sure.
In passing, get rid of a long-since-useless sprintf into a local buffer
that nothing further is done with, and make some other minor coding
style cleanups.
In the intended regression-testing usage of these functions, none of
this is very significant; but if the regression test database were
left around in a production installation, these bugs could amount
to a minor security hazard.

These functions readily crash when passed a NULL input value. The tests
themselves do not pass NULL values to them; but when the regression
database is used as a basis for fuzz testing, they cause a lot of noise.
Also, if someone were to leave a regression database lying about in a
production installation, these would create a minor security hazard.

Replay of XLOG_BTREE_VACUUM during Hot Standby was previously thought to require
complex interlocking that matched the requirements on the master. This required
an O(N) operation that became a significant problem with large indexes, causing
replication delays of seconds or in some cases minutes while the
XLOG_BTREE_VACUUM was replayed.
This commit skips the “pin scan” that was previously required, by observing in
detail when and how it is safe to do so, with full documentation. The pin scan
is skipped only in replay; the VACUUM code path on master is not touched here.
The current commit still performs the pin scan for toast indexes, though this
can also be avoided if we recheck scans on toast indexes. Later patch will
address this.
No tests included. Manual tests using an additional patch to view WAL records
and their timing have shown the change in WAL records and their handling has
successfully reduced replication delay.
Improve comments and make it a shade less messy. I think we might want
to move all of this somewhere else later, but it needs to be more
readable first.
In passing, re-pgindent the file, affecting some recently-added comments
concerning parallel query planning.
Once upon a time it was necessary for grouping_planner() to determine
the tlist it wanted from the scan/join plan subtree before it called
query_planner(), because query_planner() would actually make a Plan using
that. But we refactored things a long time ago to delay construction of
the Plan tree till later, so there's no need to build that tlist until
(and indeed unless) we're ready to plaster it onto the Plan. The only
thing query_planner() cares about is what Vars are going to be needed for
the tlist, and it can perfectly well get that by looking at the real tlist
rather than some masticated version.
Well, actually, there is one minor glitch in that argument, which is that
make_subplanTargetList also adds Vars appearing only in HAVING to the
tlist it produces. So now we have to account for HAVING explicitly in
build_base_rel_tlists. But that just adds a few lines of code, and
I doubt it moves the needle much on processing time; we might be doing
pull_var_clause() twice on the havingQual, but before we had it scanning
dummy tlist entries instead.
This is a very small down payment on rationalizing grouping_planner
enough so it can be refactored.
Turns out the only reason initdb -X worked is that pg_mkdir_p won't
whine if you point it at something that's a symlink to a directory.
Otherwise, the attempt to create pg_xlog/ just like all the other
subdirectories would have failed. Let's be a little more explicit
about what's happening. Oversight in my patch for bug #13853
(mea culpa for not testing -X ...)
When we're creating subdirectories of PGDATA during initdb, we know darn
well that the parent directory exists (or should exist) and that the new
subdirectory doesn't (or shouldn't). There is therefore no need to use
anything more complicated than mkdir(). Using pg_mkdir_p() just opens us
up to unexpected failure modes, such as the one exhibited in bug #13853
from Nuri Boardman. It's not very clear why pg_mkdir_p() went wrong there,
but it is clear that we didn't need to be trying to create parent
directories in the first place. We're not even saving any code, as proven
by the fact that this patch nets out at minus five lines.
Since this is a response to a field bug report, back-patch to all branches.

the CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS, even though this is now an entirely random,
pointless place for one. md5_crypt_verify doesn't run long enough to
need such a check, and if it did, this would still be the wrong place
to put one.
We tell people to examine the postmaster log if they're unsure why they are
getting auth failures, but actually only a few relatively-uncommon failure
cases were given their own log detail messages in commit 64e43c59b8.
Expand on that so that every failure case detected within md5_crypt_verify
gets a specific log detail message. This should cover pretty much every
ordinary password auth failure cause.
So far I've not noticed user demand for a similar level of auth detail
for the other auth methods, but sooner or later somebody might want to
work on them. This is not that patch, though.
pg_ctl is using isatty() to verify whether the process is running in a
terminal, and if not it sends its output to Windows' Event Log ... which
does the wrong thing when the output has been redirected to a pipe, as
reported in bug #13592.
To fix, make pg_ctl use the code we already have to detect service-ness:
in the master branch, move src/backend/port/win32/security.c to src/port
(with suitable tweaks so that it runs properly in backend and frontend
environments); pg_ctl already has access to pgport so it Just Works. In
older branches, that's likely to cause trouble, so instead duplicate the
required code in pg_ctl.c.

Backpatch: all supported branches
Although these temp tables will get removed from template1 at the end of
the standalone-backend run, that's too late to keep them from getting
copied into the template0 and postgres databases, now that we use only a
single backend run for the whole sequence. While no real harm is done
by the extra copies (since they'd be deleted on first use of the temp
schema), it's still unsightly, and it would mean some wasted cycles for
every database creation for the life of the installation.
Oversight in commit c4a8812cf6. Noticed by Amit Langote.
In commit 921191912c I claimed that we weren't testing encoding
conversion functions, but further poking around reveals that we did
have an equivalent though hard-wired set of tests in conversion.sql.
AFAICS there is no advantage to doing it like that as compared to letting
the catalog contents drive the test, so let the opr_sanity addition stand
and remove the now-redundant tests in conversion.sql.
Also, remove some infrastructure in src/backend/utils/mb/conversion_procs
for building conversion.sql's list of tests. That was unmaintained, and
had not corresponded to the actual contents of conversion.sql since 2007
or perhaps even further back.
The order of inclusion of .o files makes a difference in linker output;
not a functional difference, but still a bitwise difference, which annoys
some packagers who would like reproducible builds.
Report and patch by Christoph Berg
A pointless and confusing error message is shown to the user when
attempting to identify a 9.3 or older remote server with a 9.5/9.6
pg_receivexlog, because the return signature of IDENTIFY_SYSTEM was
changed in 9.4. There's no good reason for the warning message, so
shuffle code around to keep it quiet.
(pg_recvlogical is also affected by this commit, but since it obviously
cannot work with 9.3 that doesn't actually matter much.)
Backpatch to 9.5.
Reported by Marco Nenciarini, who also wrote the initial patch. Further
tweaked by Robert Haas and Fujii Masao; reviewed by Michael Paquier and
Craig Ringer.
In light of commit ea0d494dae, it seems like a good idea to add
a regression test that will complain about random functions taking or
returning cstring. Only I/O support functions and encoding conversion
functions should be declared that way.
While at it, add some checks that encoding conversion functions are
declared properly. Since pg_conversion isn't populated manually,
it's not quite as necessary to check its contents as it is for catalogs
like pg_proc; but one thing we definitely have not tested in the past
is whether the identified conproc for a conversion actually does that
conversion vs. some other one.
Using cstring as the input type was a poor decision, because that's not
really a full-fledged type. In particular, it lacks implicit coercions
from text or varchar, meaning that usages like to_regproc('foo'||'bar')
wouldn't work; basically the only case that did work without explicit
casting was a simple literal constant argument.
The lack of field complaints about this suggests that hardly anyone
is using these functions, so hopefully fixing it won't cause much of
a compatibility problem. They've only been there since 9.4, anyway.

While the in-core authentication mechanism doesn't need to access
pg_shseclabel at all, it's reasonable to think that an authentication
hook will want to look at the label for the role logging in, or for rows
in other catalogs used during the authentication phase of startup.
Catalog version bumped, because this changes the "is nailed" status for
pg_shseclabel.

This requires adding some more infrastructure to handle both case-sensitive
and case-insensitive matching, as well as the ability to match a prefix of
a previous word. So it ends up being about a wash line-count-wise, but
it's just as big a readability win here as in the SQL tab completion rules.
Michael Paquier, some adjustments by me
In the refactoring in commit d37b816dc9,
we mostly kept to the original design whereby only the last few words
on the line were matched to identify a completable pattern. However,
after commit d854118c8d, there's really
no reason to do it like that: where it's sensible, we can use patterns
that expect to match the entire input line. And mostly, it's sensible.
Matching the entire line greatly reduces the odds of a false match that
leads to offering irrelevant completions. Moreover (though I've not
tried to measure this), it should make tab completion faster since
many of the patterns will be discarded after a single integer comparison
that finds that the wrong number of words appear on the line.
There are certain identifiable places where we still need to use
TailMatches because the statement in question is allowed to appear
embedded in a larger statement. These are just a small minority of
the existing patterns, though, so the benefit of switching where
possible is large.
It's possible that this patch has removed some within-line matching
behaviors that are in fact desirable, but we can put those back when
we get complaints. Most of the removed behaviors are certainly silly.
Michael Paquier, with some further adjustments by me
Some time back we agreed that row_security=off should not be a way to
bypass RLS entirely, but only a way to get an error if it was being
applied. However, the code failed to act that way for table owners.
Per discussion, this is a must-fix bug for 9.5.0.
Adjust the logic in rls.c to behave as expected; also, modify the
error message to be more consistent with the new interpretation.
The regression tests need minor corrections as well. Also update
the comments about row_security in ddl.sgml to be correct. (The
official description of the GUC in config.sgml is already correct.)
I failed to resist the temptation to do some other very minor
cleanup as well, such as getting rid of a duplicate extern declaration.
Aside from any consistency arguments, this is logically necessary because
the I/O functions for these types also handle numeric OID values. Without
a quoting rule it is impossible to distinguish numeric OIDs from role or
namespace names that happen to contain only digits.
Also change the to_regrole and to_regnamespace functions to dequote their
arguments. While not logically essential, this seems like a good idea
since the other to_reg* functions do it. Anyone who really wants raw
lookup of an uninterpreted name can fall back on the time-honored solution
of (SELECT oid FROM pg_namespace WHERE nspname = whatever).

Can't release the AccessExclusiveLock on the target table until commit.
Otherwise there is a race condition whereby other backends might service
our cache invalidation signals before they can actually see the updated
catalog rows.
Just to add insult to injury, RemovePolicyById was closing the rel (with
incorrect lock drop) and then passing the now-dangling rel pointer to
CacheInvalidateRelcache. Probably the reason this doesn't fall over on
CLOBBER_CACHE buildfarm members is that some outer level of the DROP logic
is still holding the rel open ... but it'd have bit us on the arse
eventually, no doubt.
The CHECK_IS_BINARY_UPGRADE macro is not sufficient security protection
if we're going to dereference pass-by-reference arguments before it.
But in any case we really need to explicitly check PG_ARGISNULL for all
the arguments of a non-strict function, not only the ones we expect null
values for.
Oversight in commits 30982be4e5 and
f92fc4c95d. Found by Andreas Seltenreich.
(The other usages in pg_upgrade_support.c seem safe.)
pgwin32_recv() has treated a non-error return of zero bytes from WSARecv()
as being a reason to block ever since the current implementation was
introduced in commit a4c40f140d. However, so far as one can tell
from Microsoft's documentation, that is just wrong: what it means is
graceful connection closure (in stream protocols) or receipt of a
zero-length message (in message protocols), and neither case should result
in blocking here. The only reason the code worked at all was that control
then fell into the retry loop, which did *not* treat zero bytes specially,
so we'd get out after only wasting some cycles. But as of 9.5 we do not
normally reach the retry loop and so the bug is exposed, as reported by
Shay Rojansky and diagnosed by Andres Freund.
Remove the unnecessary test on the byte count, and rearrange the code
in the retry loop so that it looks identical to the initial sequence.
Back-patch to 9.5. The code is wrong all the way back, AFAICS, but
since it's relatively harmless in earlier branches we'll leave it alone.
Commit c7e27becd2 fixed this on the backend side, but we neglected
the fact that several code paths in pg_dump were printing reloptions
values that had not gotten massaged by ruleutils. Apply essentially the
same quoting logic in those places, too.
spg_text_inner_consistent is capable of reconstructing an empty string
to pass down to the next index level; this happens if we have an empty
string coming in, no prefix, and a dummy node label. (In practice, what
is needed to trigger that is insertion of a whole bunch of empty-string
values.) Then, we will arrive at the next level with in->level == 0
and a non-NULL (but zero length) in->reconstructedValue, which is valid
but the Assert tests weren't expecting it.
Per report from Andreas Seltenreich. This has no impact in non-Assert
builds, so should not be a problem in production, but back-patch to
all affected branches anyway.
In passing, remove a couple of useless variable initializations and
shorten the code by not duplicating DatumGetPointer() calls.
The need for this is shown by the files it missed in Bruce's recent run.
I fixed it so that it will actually adjust the case when needed.
In passing, also make it skip .po files, since those will just get
overwritten anyway from the translation repository.
On closer inspection, the reason copyright.pl was missing files is
that it is looking for 'Copyright (c)' and they had 'Copyright (C)'.
Fix that, and update a couple more that grepping for that revealed.
flatten_reloptions() supposed that it didn't really need to do anything
beyond inserting commas between reloption array elements. However, in
principle the value of a reloption could be nearly anything, since the
grammar allows a quoted string there. Any restrictions on it would come
from validity checking appropriate to the particular option, if any.
A reloption value that isn't a simple identifier or number could thus lead
to dump/reload failures due to syntax errors in CREATE statements issued
by pg_dump. We've gotten away with not worrying about this so far with
the core-supported reloptions, but extensions might allow reloption values
that cause trouble, as in bug #13840 from Kouhei Sutou.
To fix, split the reloption array elements explicitly, and then convert
any value that doesn't look like a safe identifier to a string literal.
(The details of the quoting rule could be debated, but this way is safe
and requires little code.) While we're at it, also quote reloption names
if they're not safe identifiers; that may not be a likely problem in the
field, but we might as well try to be bulletproof here.
It's been like this for a long time, so back-patch to all supported
branches.
Kouhei Sutou, adjusted some by me
A report from Andy Colson showed that gincostestimate() was not being
nearly paranoid enough about whether to believe the statistics it finds in
the index metapage. The problem is that the metapage stats (other than the
pending-pages count) are only updated by VACUUM, and in the worst case
could still reflect the index's original empty state even when it has grown
to many entries. We attempted to deal with that by scaling up the stats to
match the current index size, but if nEntries is zero then scaling it up
still gives zero. Moreover, the proportion of pages that are entry pages
vs. data pages vs. pending pages is unlikely to be estimated very well by
scaling if the index is now orders of magnitude larger than before.
We can improve matters by expanding the use of the rule-of-thumb estimates
I introduced in commit 7fb008c5ee59b040: if the index has grown by more
than a cutoff amount (here set at 4X growth) since VACUUM, then use the
rule-of-thumb numbers instead of scaling. This might not be exactly right
but it seems much less likely to produce insane estimates.
I also improved both the scaling estimate and the rule-of-thumb estimate
to account for numPendingPages, since it's reasonable to expect that that
is accurate in any case, and certainly pages that are in the pending list
are not either entry or data pages.
As a somewhat separate issue, adjust the estimation equations that are
concerned with extra fetches for partial-match searches. These equations
suppose that a fraction partialEntries / numEntries of the entry and data
pages will be visited as a consequence of a partial-match search. Now,
it's physically impossible for that fraction to exceed one, but our
estimate of partialEntries is mostly bunk, and our estimate of numEntries
isn't exactly gospel either, so we could arrive at a silly value. In the
example presented by Andy we were coming out with a value of 100, leading
to insane cost estimates. Clamp the fraction to one to avoid that.
Like the previous patch, back-patch to all supported branches; this
problem can be demonstrated in one form or another in all of them.
Recovery does not achieve its goal of zeroing all pg_multixact entries
whose accompanying WAL records never reached disk. Remove that claim
and justify its expendability. Detail the need for TrimMultiXact(),
which has little in common with the TrimCLOG() rationale. Merge two
tightly-related comments. Stop presenting pg_multixact as specific to
heap_lock_tuple(); PostgreSQL 9.3 extended its use to heap_update().
Noticed while investigating a report from Andres Freund.
Fix an oversight in commit 321eed5f0f7563a0: replacing an operator's
selectivity functions needs to result in a corresponding update in
pg_depend. We have a function that can handle that, but it was not
called by AlterOperator().
To fix this without enlarging pg_operator.h's #include list beyond
what clients can safely include, split off the function definitions
into a new file pg_operator_fn.h, similarly to what we've done for
some other catalog header files. It's not entirely clear whether
any client-side code needs to include pg_operator.h, but it seems
prudent to assume that there is some such code somewhere.
In the extreme edge case where contended pages are the only ones that
escape being scanned, the previous commit would have allowed us to think
that relfrozenxid could be advanced, which is exactly wrong.
VACUUM can skip heap pages altogether when there's a run of consecutive
pages that are all-visible according to the visibility map. This causes it
to not update its nonempty_pages count, just as if those pages were empty,
which means that at the end we will think they are candidates for deletion.
Thus, we may take the table's AccessExclusive lock only to find that no
pages are really truncatable. This usually causes no real problems on a
master server, thanks to the lock being acquired only conditionally; but on
hot-standby servers, the same lock must be acquired unconditionally which
can result in unnecessary query cancellations.
To improve matters, force examination of the table's last page whenever
we reach there with a nonempty_pages count that would allow a truncation
attempt. If it's not empty, we'll advance nonempty_pages and thereby
prevent the truncation attempt.
If we are unable to acquire cleanup lock on that page, there's no need to
force it, unless we're doing an anti-wraparound vacuum. We can just check
for tuples with a shared buffer lock and then give up. (When we are doing
an anti-wraparound vacuum, and decide it's okay to skip the page because it
contains no freezable tuples, this patch still improves matters because
nonempty_pages is properly updated, which it was not before.)
Since only the last page is special-cased in this way, we might attempt a
truncation that will release many fewer pages than the normal heuristic
would suggest; at worst, only one page would be truncated. But that seems
all right, because the situation won't repeat during the next vacuum.
The real problem with the old logic is that the useless truncation attempt
happens every time we vacuum, so long as the state of the last few dozen
pages doesn't change.
This is a longstanding deficiency, but since the consequences aren't very
severe in most scenarios, I'm not going to risk a back-patch.

The rationale for the way targetlist processing is done wasn't clearly
stated anywhere, and I for one had forgotten some of the details. Having
just painfully re-learned them, add some breadcrumbs for the next person.
Commit 6f8cb1e234 tried to centralize rewriteTargetView's copying
of a target view's Query struct. However, it ignored the fact that the
jointree->quals field was used twice. This only accidentally failed to
fail immediately because the same ChangeVarNodes mutation is applied in
both cases, so that we end up with logically identical expression trees
for both uses (and, as the code stands, the second ChangeVarNodes call
actually does nothing). However, we end up linking *physically*
identical expression trees into both an RTE's securityQuals list and
the WithCheckOption list. That's pretty dangerous, mainly because
prepsecurity.c is utterly cavalier about further munging such structures
without copying them first.
There may be no live bug in HEAD as a consequence of the fact that we apply
preprocess_expression in between here and prepsecurity.c, and that will
make a copy of the tree anyway. Or it may just be that the regression
tests happen to not trip over it. (I noticed this only because things
fell over pretty badly when I tried to relocate the planner's call of
expand_security_quals to before expression preprocessing.) In any case
it's very fragile because if anyone tried to make the securityQuals and
WithCheckOption trees diverge before we reach preprocess_expression, it
would not work. The fact that the current code will preprocess
securityQuals and WithCheckOptions lists at completely different times in
different query levels does nothing to increase my trust that that can't
happen.
In view of the fact that 9.5.0 is almost upon us and the aforesaid commit
has seen exactly zero field testing, the prudent course is to make an extra
copy of the quals so that the behavior is not different from what has been
in the field during beta.
The variables newestCommitTs and oldestCommitTs sound as if they are
timestamps, but in fact they are the transaction Ids that correspond
to the newest and oldest timestamps rather than the actual timestamps.
Rename these variables to reflect that they are actually xids: to wit
newestCommitTsXid and oldestCommitTsXid respectively. Also modify
related code in a similar fashion, particularly the user facing output
emitted by pg_controldata and pg_resetxlog.

Backpatch to 9.5 where these variables were first introduced.
As of commit d5563d7df, psql -c no longer implies -X, but not all of
our regression testing scripts had gotten that memo.
To ensure consistency of results across different developers, make
sure that *all* invocations of psql in all scripts in our tree
use -X, even where this is not what previously happened.

For some reason, we've been overlooking the fact that pg_receivexlog
and pg_recvlogical are using wrong translation domains all along,
so their output hasn't ever been translated. The right domain is
pg_basebackup, not their own executable names.
Noticed by Ioseph Kim, who's been working on the Korean translation.
Backpatch pg_receivexlog to 9.2 and pg_recvlogical to 9.4.
MergeAttributes() rejects cases where columns to be merged have the same
type but different typmod, which is correct; but the error message it
printed didn't show either typmod, which is unhelpful. Changing this
requires using format_type_with_typemod() in place of TypeNameToString(),
which will have some minor side effects on the way some type names are
printed, but on balance this is an improvement: the old code sometimes
printed one type according to one set of rules and the other type according
to the other set, which could be confusing in its own way.
Oddly, there were no regression test cases covering any of this behavior,
so add some.
Complaint and fix by Amit Langote
brin_summarize_new_values() did not check that the passed OID was for
an index at all, much less that it was a BRIN index, and would fail in
obscure ways if it wasn't (possibly damaging data first?). It also
lacked any permissions test; by analogy to VACUUM, we should only allow
the table's owner to summarize.

t/002_databases.pl was expecting to see a specific physical order of the
rows in pg_database. I broke that in HEAD with commit 01e386a325,
but I'd say it's a pretty fragile test methodology in any case, so fix
it in 9.5 as well.
Commit ed7b3b3811 purported to remove initdb's use of VACUUM FULL,
as had been agreed to in a pghackers discussion back in Dec 2014.
But it missed this one ...
This reverts most of commit 83dec5a71 in favor of having connectDatabase()
store the possibly-reusable password in a static variable, similar to the
coding we've had for a long time in pg_dump's version of that function.
To avoid possible problems with unwanted password reuse, make callers
specify whether it's reasonable to attempt to re-use the password.
This is a wash for cases where re-use isn't needed, but it is far simpler
for callers that do want that. Functionally there should be no difference.
Even though we're past RC1, it seems like a good idea to back-patch this
into 9.5, like the prior commit. Otherwise, if there are any third-party
users of connectDatabase(), they'll have to deal with an API change in
9.5 and then another one in 9.6.
Michael Paquier
When pg_dump prompts the user for a password, it remembers the password
for possible re-use by parallel worker processes. However, libpq might
have extracted the password from a connection string originally passed
as "dbname". Since we don't record the original form of dbname but
break it down to host/port/etc, the password gets lost. Fix that by
retrieving the actual password from the PGconn.
(It strikes me that this whole approach is rather broken, as it will also
lose other information such as options that might have been present in
the connection string. But we'll leave that problem for another day.)
In passing, get rid of rather silly use of malloc() for small fixed-size
arrays.
Back-patch to 9.3 where parallel pg_dump was introduced.
Report and fix by Zeus Kronion, adjusted a bit by Michael Paquier and me
The original coding read tuples from workers in round-robin fashion,
but performance testing shows that it works much better to read enough
to empty one queue before moving on to the next. I believe the
reason for this is that, with the old approach, we could easily wake
up a worker repeatedly to write only one new tuple into the shm_mq
each time. With this approach, by the time the process gets scheduled,
it has a decent chance of being able to fill the entire buffer in
one go.
Patch by me. Dilip Kumar helped with performance testing.
This should have been part of the original commit, but was missed.
Pushing data between processes is expensive, so we definitely want
to project away unneeded columns here, just as we do for other nodes
like Sort and Hash that care about the volume of data.
Omitted boundaries represent the upper or lower limit of the corresponding
array subscript. This allows simpler specification of many common
use-cases.

When use_remote_estimate is enabled, consider adding ORDER BY to the
query we sending to the remote server so that we can use that ordered
data for a merge join. Commit f18c944b61
arranges to push down the query pathkeys, which seems like the case
mostly likely to be a win, but testing shows this can sometimes win,
too.
For a regular table, we know which indexes are present and therefore
test whether the ordering provided by each such index is useful. Here,
we take the opposite approach: guess what orderings would be useful if
they could be generated cheaply, and then ask the remote side what those
will cost.

Yesterday in commit d854118c8, I had a serious brain fade leading me to
underestimate the number of words that the tab-completion logic could
divide a line into. On input such as "(((((", each character will get
seen as a separate word, which means we do indeed sometimes need more
space for the words than for the original line. Fix that.
Rather than expect the Query returned by get_view_query() to be
read-only and then copy bits and pieces of it out, simply copy the
entire structure when we get it. This addresses an issue where
AcquireRewriteLocks, which is called by acquireLocksOnSubLinks(),
scribbles on the parsetree passed in, which was actually an entry
in relcache, leading to segfaults with certain view definitions.
This also future-proofs us a bit for anyone adding more code to this
path.
The acquireLocksOnSubLinks() was added in commit c3e0ddd40.
Back-patch to 9.3 as that commit was.
psql offered USING, WHERE, and SET in this context, but SET is not a valid
possibility here. Seems to have been a thinko in commit f5ab0a14ea
which added DELETE's USING option.
Up to now, the tab completion logic has only examined the last few words
of the current input line; "last few" being originally as few as four
words, but lately up to nine words. Furthermore, it only looked at what
libreadline considers the current line of input, which made it rather
myopic if you split your command across lines. This was tolerable,
sort of, so long as the match patterns were only designed to consider the
last few words of input; but with the recent addition of HeadMatches()
and Matches() matching rules, we really have to do better if we want
those to behave sanely.
Hence, change the code to break the entire line down into words, and to
include any previous lines in the command buffer along with the active
readline input buffer.
This will be a little bit slower than the previous coding, but some
measurements say that even a query of several thousand characters can be
parsed in a hundred or so microseconds on modern machines; so it's really
not going to be significant for interactive tab completion. To reduce
the cost some, I arranged to avoid the per-word malloc calls that used
to occur: all the words are now kept in one malloc'd buffer.
Commit e5e11c8cc added a bunch of EXPLAIN statements without COSTS OFF
to the regression tests. This is contrary to project policy since it
results in unnecessary platform dependencies in the output (it's just
luck that we didn't get buildfarm failures from it). Per gripe from
Mike Wilson.
Replace tests like
else if (pg_strcasecmp(prev4_wd, "CREATE") == 0 &&
pg_strcasecmp(prev3_wd, "TRIGGER") == 0 &&
(pg_strcasecmp(prev_wd, "BEFORE") == 0 ||
pg_strcasecmp(prev_wd, "AFTER") == 0))
with new notation like this:
else if (TailMatches4("CREATE", "TRIGGER", MatchAny, "BEFORE|AFTER"))
In addition, provide some macros COMPLETE_WITH_LISTn() to reduce the amount
of clutter needed to specify a small number of predetermined completion
alternatives.
This makes the code substantially more compact: tab-complete.c gets over a
thousand lines shorter in this patch, despite the addition of a couple of
hundred lines of infrastructure for the new notations. The new way of
specifying match rules seems a whole lot more readable and less
error-prone, too.
There's a lot more that could be done now to make matching faster and more
reliable; for example I suspect that most of the TailMatches() rules should
now be Matches() rules. That would allow them to be skipped after a single
integer comparison if there aren't the right number of words on the line,
and it would reduce the risk of unintended matches. But for now, (mostly)
refrain from reworking any match rules in favor of just converting what
we've got into the new notation.

Backpatch: 9.4, like the commit introducing the bug
Per a recommendation from Tomas Vondra, it's more helpful to refer to
the value that determines how skewed a Gaussian or exponential
distribution is as a parameter rather than a threshold.
Since it's not quite too late to get this right in 9.5, where it was
introduced, back-patch this. Most of the patch changes only comments
and documentation, but a few pgbench messages are altered to match.
Fabien Coelho, reviewed by Michael Paquier and by me.
Previously, each subroutine in initdb fired up its own standalone backend
session. Over time we'd grown as many as fifteen of these sessions,
and the cumulative startup and shutdown work for them was getting pretty
noticeable. Combining things so that all these steps share a single
backend session cuts a good 10% off the total runtime of initdb, more
if you're not fsync'ing.
The main stumbling block to doing this before was that some of the sessions
were run with -j and some not. The improved definition of -j mode
implemented by my previous commit makes it possible to fix that by running
all the post-bootstrap steps with -j; we just have to use double instead of
single newlines to end command strings. (This is only absolutely necessary
around the VACUUM and CREATE DATABASE steps, since those can't be run in a
transaction block. But it seems best to make them all use double newlines
so that the commands remain separate for error-reporting purposes.)
A minor disadvantage is that since initdb can't tell how much of its
output the backend has executed, we can no longer have the per-step
progress reporting initdb used to print. But things are fast enough
nowadays that that's not really all that useful anyway.
In passing, add more const decoration to some of the static arrays in
initdb.c.
Previously, -j caused the entire input file to be read in and executed as
a single command string. That's undesirable, not least because any error
causes the entire file to be regurgitated as the "failing query". Some
experimentation suggests a better rule: end the command string when we see
a semicolon immediately followed by two newlines, ie, an empty line after
a query. This serves nicely to break up the existing examples such as
information_schema.sql and system_views.sql. A limitation is that it's
no longer possible to write such a sequence within a string literal or
multiline comment in a file meant to be read with -j; but there are no
instances of such a problem within the data currently used by initdb.
(If someone does make such a mistake in future, it'll be obvious because
they'll get an unterminated-literal or unterminated-comment syntax error.)
Other than that, there shouldn't be any negative consequences; you're not
forced to end statements that way, it's just a better idea in most cases.
In passing, remove src/include/tcop/tcopdebug.h, which is dead code
because it's not included anywhere, and hasn't been for more than
ten years. One of the debug-support symbols it purported to describe
has been unreferenced for at least the same amount of time, and the
other is removed by this commit on the grounds that it was useless:
forcing -j mode all the time would have broken initdb. The lack of
complaints about that, or about the missing inclusion, shows that
no one has tried to use TCOP_DONTUSENEWLINE in many years.
Turns out we must set rl_basic_word_break_characters *before* we call
rl_initialize() the first time, because it will quietly copy that value
elsewhere --- but only on the first call. (Love these undocumented
dependencies.) I broke this yesterday in commit 2ec477dc8108339d;
like that commit, back-patch to all active branches. Per report from
Pavel Stehule.
This is necessary so that REASSIGN OWNED does the right thing with
composite types, to wit, that it also alters ownership of the type's
pg_class entry -- previously, the pg_class entry remained owned by the
original user, which caused later other failures such as the new owner's
inability to use ALTER TYPE to rename an attribute of the affected
composite. Also, if the original owner is later dropped, the pg_class
entry becomes owned by a non-existant user which is bogus.
To fix, create a new routine AlterTypeOwner_oid which knows whether to
pass the request to ATExecChangeOwner or deal with it directly, and use
that in shdepReassignOwner rather than calling AlterTypeOwnerInternal
directly. AlterTypeOwnerInternal is now simpler in that it only
modifies the pg_type entry and recurses to handle a possible array type;
higher-level tasks are handled by either AlterTypeOwner directly or
AlterTypeOwner_oid.
I took the opportunity to add a few more objects to the test rig for
REASSIGN OWNED, so that more cases are exercised. Additional ones could
be added for superuser-only-ownable objects (such as FDWs and event
triggers) but I didn't want to push my luck by adding a new superuser to
the tests on a backpatchable bug fix.

Backpatch to 9.5.
(I would back-patch this all the way back, except that it doesn't apply

It emerges that libreadline doesn't notice terminal window size change
events unless they occur while collecting input. This is easy to stumble
over if you resize the window while using a pager to look at query output,
but it can be demonstrated without any pager involvement. The symptom is
that queries exceeding one line are misdisplayed during subsequent input
cycles, because libreadline has the wrong idea of the screen dimensions.
The safest, simplest way to fix this is to call rl_reset_screen_size()
just before calling readline(). That causes an extra ioctl(TIOCGWINSZ)
for every command; but since it only happens when reading from a tty, the
performance impact should be negligible. A more valid objection is that
this still leaves a tiny window during entry to readline() wherein delivery
of SIGWINCH will be missed; but the practical consequences of that are
probably negligible. In any case, there doesn't seem to be any good way to
avoid the race, since readline exposes no functions that seem safe to call
from a generic signal handler --- rl_reset_screen_size() certainly isn't.
It turns out that we also need an explicit rl_initialize() call, else
rl_reset_screen_size() dumps core when called before the first readline()
call.
rl_reset_screen_size() is not present in old versions of libreadline,
so we need a configure test for that. (rl_initialize() is present at
least back to readline 4.0, so we won't bother with a test for it.)
We would need a configure test anyway since libedit's emulation of
libreadline doesn't currently include such a function. Fortunately,
libedit seems not to have any corresponding bug.

FOREIGN KEY constraints have behaved this way for a long time, but for

until now.
Amit Langote and Amul Sul, with assorted tweaks by me.
It's entirely surprising that mdnblocks() has the side effect of
creating new files on disk, so let's make it not do that. One
consequence of the old behavior is that, if running on a damaged
cluster that is missing a file, mdnblocks() can recreate the file
and allow a subsequent _mdfd_getseg() for a higher segment to succeed.
This happens because, while mdnblocks() stops when it finds a segment
that is shorter than 1GB, _mdfd_getseg() has no such check, and thus
the empty file created by mdnblocks() can allow it to continue its
traversal and find higher-numbered segments which remain.
It might be a good idea for _mdfd_getseg() to actually verify that
each segment it finds is exactly 1GB before proceeding to the next
one, but that would involve some additional system calls, so for
now I'm just doing this much.
Patch by me, per off-list analysis by Kevin Grittner and Rahila Syed.
Review by Andres Freund.
Move the content lock directly into the BufferDesc, so that locking and
pinning a buffer touches only one cache line rather than two. Adjust
the definition of BufferDesc slightly so that this doesn't make the
BufferDesc any larger than one cache line (at least on platforms where
a spinlock is only 1 or 2 bytes).
We can't fit the I/O locks into the BufferDesc and stay within one
cache line, so move those to a completely separate tranche. This
leaves a relatively limited number of LWLocks in the main tranche, so
increase the padding of those remaining locks to a full cache line,
rather than allowing adjacent locks to share a cache line, hopefully
reducing false sharing.
Performance testing shows that these changes make little difference
on laptop-class machines, but help significantly on larger servers,
especially those with more than 2 sockets.
Andres Freund, originally based on an earlier patch by Simon Riggs.
Review and cosmetic adjustments (including heavy rewriting of the
comments) by me.
It's a bit cumbersome to use LWLockNewTrancheId(), because the returned
value needs to be shared between backends so that each backend can call
LWLockRegisterTranche() with the correct ID. So, for built-in tranches,
use a hard-coded value instead.
This is motivated by an upcoming patch adding further built-in tranches.

We carry around information about if a given query has row security or
not to allow the plancache to use that information to invalidate a
planned query in the event that the environment changes.
Previously, the flag of one of the subqueries was simply being copied
into place to indicate if the query overall included RLS components.
That's wrong as we need the global OR of all subqueries. Fix by
changing the code to match how fireRIRules works, which is results
in OR'ing all of the flags.

If libpq ran out of memory while constructing the result set, it would hang,
waiting for more data from the server, which might never arrive. To fix,
distinguish between out-of-memory error and not-enough-data cases, and give
a proper error message back to the client on OOM.
There are still similar issues in handling COPY start messages, but let's

Previously, if find_multixact_start() failed, SetOffsetVacuumLimit() would
install 0 into MultiXactState->offsetStopLimit if it previously succeeded.
Luckily, there are no known cases where find_multixact_start() will return
an error in 9.5 and above. But if it were to happen, for example due to
filesystem permission issues, it'd be somewhat bad: GetNewMultiXactId()
could continue allocating mxids even if close to a wraparound, or it could
erroneously stop allocating mxids, even if no wraparound is looming. The
wrong value would be corrected the next time SetOffsetVacuumLimit() is
called, or by a restart.

e3f4cfc7 introduced a LWLockHeldByMe() call, without the corresponding
Assert() surrounding it.
Spotted by Coverity.
Backpatch: 9.1+, like the previous commit
Commit d5563d7df9 drew complaints from Coverity, which quite
correctly complained that one copy of each -c or -f string was being
leaked. What's more, simple_action_list_append was allocating enough space
for still a third copy of each string as part of the SimpleActionListCell,
even though that coding method had been superseded by a separate strdup
operation. There were some other minor coding infelicities too. The
documentation needed more work as well, eg it forgot to explain that -c
causes psql not to accept any interactive input.
Previously the "sent" field would be set to 0 and all other xlog
pointers be set to NULL if there were no valid values (such as when
in a backup sending walsender).
These would leak random xlog positions if a walsender used for backup would
a walsender slot previously used by a replication walsender.
In passing also fix a couple of cases where the xlog pointer is directly
compared to zero instead of using XLogRecPtrIsInvalid, noted by
Michael Paquier.
Changing the tablespace of an unlogged relation did not WAL log the
creation and content of the init fork. Thus, after a standby is
promoted, unlogged relation cannot be accessed anymore, with errors
like:
ERROR: 58P01: could not open file "pg_tblspc/...": No such file or directory
Additionally the init fork was not synced to disk, independent of the
configured wal_level, a relatively small durability risk.
Investigation of that problem also brought to light that, even for
permanent relations, the creation of !main forks was not WAL logged,
i.e. no XLOG_SMGR_CREATE record were emitted. That mostly turns out not
to be a problem, because these files were created when the actual
relation data is copied; nonexistent files are not treated as an error
condition during replay. But that doesn't work for empty files, and
generally feels a bit haphazard. Luckily, outside init and main forks,
empty forks don't occur often or are not a problem.
Add the required WAL logging and syncing to disk.

Recent releases of libxml2 do not provide error context reports for errors
detected at the very end of the input string. This appears to be a bug, or
at least an infelicity, introduced by the fix for libxml2's CVE-2015-7499.
We can hope that this behavioral change will get undone before too long;
but the security patch is likely to spread a lot faster/further than any
follow-on cleanup, which means this behavior is likely to be present in the
wild for some time to come. As a stopgap, add a variant regression test
expected-file that matches what you get with a libxml2 that acts this way.
As reported in bug #13809 by Alexander Ashurkov, the code for REASSIGN
OWNED hadn't gotten word about user mappings. Deal with them in the
same way default ACLs do, which is to ignore them altogether; they are
handled just fine by DROP OWNED. The other foreign object cases are
already handled correctly by both commands.
Also add a REASSIGN OWNED statement to foreign_data test to exercise the
foreign data objects. (The changes are just before the "cleanup" phase,
so it shouldn't remove any existing live test.)
Reported by Alexander Ashurkov, then independently by Jaime Casanova.
DROP OWNED BY handled GRANT-based ACLs but was not removing roles from
policies. Fix that by having DROP OWNED BY remove the role specified
from the list of roles the policy (or policies) apply to, or the entire
policy (or policies) if it only applied to the role specified.
As with ACLs, the DROP OWNED BY caller must have permission to modify
the policy or a WARNING is thrown and no change is made to the policy.
I originally modeled this data structure on SpecialJoinInfo, but after
commit acfcd45cac that looks like a pretty poor decision.
All we really need is relid sets identifying laterally-referenced rels;
and most of the time, what we want to know about includes indirect lateral
references, a case the LateralJoinInfo data was unsuited to compute with
any efficiency. The previous commit redefined RelOptInfo.lateral_relids
as the transitive closure of lateral references, so that it easily supports
checking indirect references. For the places where we really do want just
direct references, add a new RelOptInfo field direct_lateral_relids, which
is easily set up as a copy of lateral_relids before we perform the
transitive closure calculation. Then we can just drop lateral_info_list
and LateralJoinInfo and the supporting code. This makes the planner's
handling of lateral references noticeably more efficient, and shorter too.
Such a change can't be back-patched into stable branches for fear of
breaking extensions that might be looking at the planner's data structures;
but it seems not too late to push it into 9.5, so I've done so.
ALTER POLICY hadn't fully considered partial policy alternation
(eg: change just the roles on the policy, or just change one of
the expressions) when rebuilding the dependencies. Instead, it
would happily remove all dependencies which existed for the
policy and then only recreate the dependencies for the objects
referred to in the specific ALTER POLICY command.
Correct that by extracting and building the dependencies for all
objects referenced by the policy, regardless of if they were
provided as part of the ALTER POLICY command or were already in
place as part of the pre-existing policy.
More fuzz testing by Andreas Seltenreich exposed that the planner did not
cope well with chains of lateral references. If relation X references Y
laterally, and Y references Z laterally, then we will have to scan X on the
inside of a nestloop with Z, so for all intents and purposes X is laterally
dependent on Z too. The planner did not understand this and would generate
intermediate joins that could not be used. While that was usually harmless
except for wasting some planning cycles, under the right circumstances it
would lead to "failed to build any N-way joins" or "could not devise a
query plan" planner failures.
To fix that, convert the existing per-relation lateral_relids and
lateral_referencers relid sets into their transitive closures; that is,
they now show all relations on which a rel is directly or indirectly
laterally dependent. This not only fixes the chained-reference problem
but allows some of the relevant tests to be made substantially simpler
and faster, since they can be reduced to simple bitmap manipulations
instead of searches of the LateralJoinInfo list.
Also, when a PlaceHolderVar that is due to be evaluated at a join contains
lateral references, we should treat those references as indirect lateral
dependencies of each of the join's base relations. This prevents us from
trying to join any individual base relations to the lateral reference
source before the join is formed, which again cannot work.
Andreas' testing also exposed another oversight in the "dangerous
PlaceHolderVar" test added in commit 85e5e222b1. Simply rejecting
unsafe join paths in joinpath.c is insufficient, because in some cases
we will end up rejecting *all* possible paths for a particular join, again
leading to "could not devise a query plan" failures. The restriction has
to be known also to join_is_legal and its cohort functions, so that they
will not select a join for which that will happen. I chose to move the
supporting logic into joinrels.c where the latter functions are.
Back-patch to 9.3 where LATERAL support was introduced.
This module needs explicit initialization in order to replay WAL records
in recovery, but we had broken this recently following changes to make
other (stranger) scenarios work correctly. To fix, rework the
initialization sequence so that it always takes place before WAL replay
commences for both master and standby.
I could have gone for a more localized fix that just added a "startup"
call for the master server, but it seemed better to restructure the
existing callers as well so that the whole thing made more sense. As a
drawback, there is more control logic in xlog.c now than previously, but
doing otherwise meant passing down the ControlFile flag, which seemed
uglier as a whole.
This also meant adding a check to not re-execute ActivateCommitTs if it
had already been called.

ExecOnConflictUpdate() passed t_ctid of the to-be-updated tuple to
ExecUpdate(). That's problematic primarily because of two reason: First
and foremost t_ctid could point to a different tuple. Secondly, and
that's what triggered the complaint by Stanislav, t_ctid is changed by
heap_update() to point to the new tuple version. The behavior of AFTER
UPDATE triggers was therefore broken, with NEW.* and OLD.* tuples
spuriously identical within AFTER UPDATE triggers.
To fix both issues, pass a pointer to t_self of a on-stack HeapTuple
instead.
Fixing this bug lead to one change in regression tests, which previously
failed due to the first issue mentioned above. There's a reasonable
expectation that test fails, as it updates one row repeatedly within one
INSERT ... ON CONFLICT statement. That is only possible if the second
update is triggered via ON CONFLICT ... SET, ON CONFLICT ... WHERE, or
by a WITH CHECK expression, as those are executed after
ExecOnConflictUpdate() does a visibility check. That could easily be
prohibited, but given it's allowed for plain UPDATEs and a rare corner
case, it doesn't seem worthwhile.

Backpatch: 9.5, where ON CONFLICT was introduced
At the end of crash recovery, unlogged relations are reset to the empty
state, using their init fork as the template. The init fork is copied to
the main fork without going through shared buffers. Unfortunately WAL
replay so far has not necessarily flushed writes from shared buffers to
disk at that point. In normal crash recovery, and before the
introduction of 'fast promotions' in fd4ced523 / 9.3, the
END_OF_RECOVERY checkpoint flushes the buffers out in time. But with
fast promotions that's not the case anymore.
To fix, force WAL writes targeting the init fork to be flushed
immediately (using the new FlushOneBuffer() function). In 9.5+ that
flush can centrally be triggered from the code dealing with restoring
full page writes (XLogReadBufferForRedoExtended), in earlier releases
that responsibility is in the hands of XLOG_HEAP_NEWPAGE's replay
function.
Backpatch to 9.1, even if this currently is only known to trigger in
9.3+. Flushing earlier is more robust, and it is advantageous to keep
the branches similar.
Typical symptoms of this bug are errors like
'ERROR: index "..." contains unexpected zero page at block 0'

The single linked list of memory contexts could result in O(N^2)
performance to free a set of contexts if they were not freed in
reverse order of creation. In many cases the reverse order was
used, but there were some significant exceptions that caused real-
world performance problems. Rather than requiring all callers to
care about the order in which contexts were freed, and hunting down
and changing all existing cases where the wrong order was used, we

Commit e7cb7ee145 provided basic
infrastructure for allowing a foreign data wrapper or custom scan
provider to replace a join of one or more tables with a scan.
However, this infrastructure failed to take into account the need
for possible EvalPlanQual rechecks, and ExecScanFetch would fail
an assertion (or just overwrite memory) if such a check was attempted
for a plan containing a pushed-down join. To fix, adjust the EPQ
machinery to skip some processing steps when scanrelid == 0, making
those the responsibility of scan's recheck method, which also has
the responsibility in this case of correctly populating the relevant
slot.
To allow foreign scans to gain control in the right place to make
use of this new facility, add a new, optional RecheckForeignScan
method. Also, allow a foreign scan to have a child plan, which can
be used to correctly populate the slot (or perhaps for something
else, but this is the only use currently envisioned).

While convincing myself that commit 7e19db0c09 would solve both of
the problems recently reported by Andreas Seltenreich, I realized that
add_paths_to_joinrel's handling of LATERAL restrictions could be made
noticeably simpler and faster if we were to retain the minimum possible
parameterization for each joinrel (that is, the set of relids supplying
unsatisfied lateral references in it). We already retain that for
baserels, in RelOptInfo.lateral_relids, so we can use that field for
joinrels too.
I re-pgindent'd the files touched here, which affects some unrelated
comments.
This is, I believe, just a minor optimization not a bug fix, so no
back-patch.
It was possible for the planner to decide to join a LATERAL subquery to
the outer side of an outer join before the outer join itself is completed.
Normally that's fine because of the associativity rules, but it doesn't
work if the subquery contains a lateral reference to the inner side of the
outer join. In such a situation the outer join *must* be done first.
join_is_legal() missed this consideration and would allow the join to be
attempted, but the actual path-building code correctly decided that no
valid join path could be made, sometimes leading to planner errors such as
"failed to build any N-way joins".
Per report from Andreas Seltenreich. Back-patch to 9.3 where LATERAL
support was added.

As pointed out by Fujii Masao, we weren't quite there on a standby
behaving sanely: first because we were failing to acquire the correct
state in the case where no XLOG_PARAMETER_CHANGE message was sent
(because a checkpoint had already happened after the setting was changed
in the master, and then the standby was restarted); and second because
promoting the standby with the feature enabled failed to activate it if
the master had the feature disabled.
This patch fixes both those misbehaviors hopefully without
re-introducing any old problems.
Also change the hint emitted in a standby together with the error
message about the feature being disabled, to make it point out that the
place to chance the setting is the master. Otherwise, if the setting is
already enabled in the standby, it is very confusing to have it say that
the setting must be enabled ...

Backpatch to 9.5.
Formerly, if "psql -o foo" failed to open the output file "foo", it would
print an error message but then carry on as though -o had not been
specified at all. This seems contrary to expectation: a program that
cannot open its output file normally fails altogether. Make psql do
exit(1) after reporting the error.
If "\o foo" failed to open "foo", it would print an error message but then
reset the output file to stdout, as if the argument had been omitted.
This is likewise pretty surprising behavior. Make it keep the previous
output state, instead.
psql keeps SIGPIPE interrupts disabled when it is writing to a pipe, either
a pipe specified by -o/\o or a transient pipe opened for purposes such as
using a pager on query output. The logic for this was too simple and could
sometimes re-enable SIGPIPE when a -o pipe was still active, thus possibly
leading to an unexpected psql crash later.
Fixing the last point required getting rid of the kluge in PrintQueryTuples
and ExecQueryUsingCursor whereby they'd transiently change the global
queryFout state, but that seems like good cleanup anyway.
Back-patch to 9.5 but not further; these are minor-enough issues that
changing the behavior in stable branches doesn't seem appropriate.
The formatting modes that depend on knowledge of the terminal window width
did not work right when printing a query result that's been fetched in
sections (as a result of FETCH_SIZE). ExecQueryUsingCursor() would force
use of the pager as soon as there's more than one result section, and then
print.c would see an output file pointer that's not stdout and incorrectly
conclude that the terminal window width isn't relevant.
This has been broken all along for non-expanded "wrapped" output format,
and as of 9.5 the issue affects expanded mode as well. The problem also
caused "\pset expanded auto" mode to invariably *not* switch to expanded
output in a segmented result, which seems to me to be exactly backwards.
To fix, we need to pass down an "is_pager" flag to inform the print.c
subroutines that some calling level has already replaced stdout with a
pager pipe, so they should (a) not do that again and (b) nonetheless honor
the window size. (Notably, this makes the first is_pager test in
print_aligned_text() not be dead code anymore.)
This patch is a bit invasive because there are so many existing calls of
printQuery()/printTable(), but fortunately all but a couple can just pass
"false" for the added parameter.
Back-patch to 9.5 but no further. Given the lack of field complaints,
it's not clear that we should change the behavior in stable branches.
Also, the API change for printQuery()/printTable() might possibly break
third-party code, again something we don't like to do in stable branches.
However, it's not quite too late to do this in 9.5, and with the larger
scope of the problem there, it seems worth doing.
The original code was a bit clunky; make it more amenable for further
reuse by creating a new Perl package PostgresNode, which is an
object-oriented representation of a single server, with some support
routines such as init, start, stop, psql. This serves as a better basis
on which to build further test code, and enables writing tests that use
more than one server without too much complication.
This commit modifies a lot of the existing test files, mostly to remove
explicit calls to system commands (pg_ctl) replacing them with method
calls of a PostgresNode object. The result is quite a bit more
straightforward.
Also move some initialization code to BEGIN and INIT blocks instead of
having it straight in as top-level code.
This commit also introduces package RecursiveCopy so that we can copy
whole directories without having to depend on packages that may not be
present on vanilla Perl 5.8 installations.
I also ran perltidy on the modified files, which changes some code sites
that are not otherwise touched by this patch. I tried to avoid this,
but it ended up being more trouble than it's worth.

We tried to fetch statistics data from the index metapage, which does not
work if the index isn't actually present. If the index is hypothetical,
instead extrapolate some plausible internal statistics based on the index
page count provided by the index-advisor plugin.
There was already some code in gincostestimate() to invent internal stats
in this way, but since it was only meant as a stopgap for pre-9.1 GIN
indexes that hadn't been vacuumed since upgrading, it was pretty crude.
If we want it to support index advisors, we should try a little harder.
A small amount of testing says that it's better to estimate the entry pages
as 90% of the index, not 100%. Also, estimating the number of entries
(keys) as equal to the heap tuple count could be wildly wrong in either
direction. Instead, let's estimate 100 entries per entry page.
Perhaps someday somebody will want the index advisor to be able to provide
these numbers more directly, but for the moment this should serve.
Problem report and initial patch by Julien Rouhaud; modified by me to
invent less-bogus internal statistics. Back-patch to all supported
branches, since we've supported index advisors since 9.0.
Don't force the data width to extend all the way to the right margin if it
doesn't need to. This reverts the behavior in non-wrapping cases to be
what it was in 9.4. Also, make the logic that ensures the data line width
is at least equal to the record-header line width a little less obscure.
In passing, avoid possible calculation of log10(0). Probably that's
harmless, given the lack of field complaints, but it seems risky:
conversion of NaN to an integer isn't well defined.
The previous coding could overrun the provided buffer size for a very large
input, or lose precision for a very small input. Adopt the methodology
that's been in use in the equivalent backend code for a long time.
Per private report from Bas van Schaik. Back-patch to all supported
branches.
We should ignore output_columns unless it's greater than zero.
A zero means we couldn't get any information from ioctl(TIOCGWINSZ);
in that case the expected behavior is to print the data at native width,
not to wrap it at the smallest possible value. print_aligned_text()
gets this consideration right, but print_aligned_vertical() lost track
of this detail somewhere along the line.
Allow pg_rewind to work when target timeline was switched. Now
user can return promoted standby to old master.
Target timeline history becomes a global variable. Index
in target timeline history is used in function interfaces instead of
specifying TLI directly. Thus, SimpleXLogPageRead() can easily start
reading XLOGs from next timeline when current timeline ends.

Review: Michael Paquier
This area was rather heavily whacked around in 6513633b9 and follow-on
commits, and it was showing it, because the logic to calculate the
allowable data width in wrapped expanded mode had only the vaguest
relationship to the logic that was actually printing the data. It was
not very close to being right about the conditions requiring overhead
columns to be added. Aside from being wrong, it was pretty unreadable
and under-commented. Rewrite it so it corresponds to what the printing
code actually does.
In passing, remove a couple of dead tests in the printing logic, too.
Per a complaint from Jeff Janes, though this doesn't look much like his
patch because it fixes a number of other corner-case bogosities too.
One such fix that's visible in the regression test results is that
although the code was attempting to enforce a minimum data width of
3 columns, it sometimes left less space than that available.
In commit 8abb3cda0d I attempted to cache
the expression state trees constructed for domain CHECK constraints for
the life of the backend (assuming the domain's constraints don't get
redefined). However, this turns out not to work very well, because
execQual.c will run those state trees with ecxt_per_query_memory pointing
to a query-lifespan context, and in some situations we'll end up with
pointers into that context getting stored into the state trees. This
happens in particular with SQL-language functions, as reported by
Emre Hasegeli, but there are many other cases.
To fix, keep only the expression plan trees for domain CHECK constraints
in the typcache's data structure, and revert to performing ExecInitExpr
(at least) once per query to set up expression state trees in the query's
context.
Eventually it'd be nice to undo this, but that will require some careful
thought about memory management for expression state trees, and it seems
far too late for any such redesign in 9.5. This way is still much more
efficient than what happened before 8abb3cda0.
Previously, we did many conversions for Cyrillic and Central European
single-byte encodings by converting to a related MULE_INTERNAL coding
scheme before converting to the destination. This seems unnecessarily
inefficient. Moreover, if the conversion encounters an untranslatable
character, the error message will confusingly complain about failure
to convert to or from MULE_INTERNAL, rather than the user-visible
encodings. Worse still, this approach results in some completely
unnecessary conversion failures; there are cases where the chosen
MULE subset lacks characters that exist in both of the user-visible
encodings, causing a conversion failure that need not occur.
This patch fixes the first two of those deficiencies by introducing
a new local2local() conversion support subroutine for direct conversion
between any two single-byte character sets, and adding new conversion
tables where needed. However, I generated the new conversion tables by
testing PG 9.5's behavior, so that the actual conversion behavior is
bug-compatible with previous releases; the only user-visible behavior
change is that the error messages for conversion failures are saner.
Changes in the conversion behavior will probably ensue after discussion.
Interestingly, although this approach requires more tables, the .so files
actually end up smaller (at least on my x86_64 machine); the tables are
smaller than the management code needed for double conversion.
Per a complaint from Albe Laurenz.
Some of the Unicode/*.map files had identification comments added to them,
evidently by hand. Others did not. Modify the generating scripts to
produce these comments automatically, and update the generated files that
lacked them.
This is just minor cleanup as a by-product of trying to verify that the
*.map files can indeed be reproduced from authoritative data. There are a
depressingly large number that fail to reproduce from the claimed sources.
I have not touched those in this commit, except for the JIS 2004-related
files which required only a single comment update to match.
Since this only affects comments, no need to consider a back-patch.
Previously, if no host information had been specified at connection time,
PQhost() would return NULL (unless you are on Windows, in which case you
got "localhost"). This is an unhelpful definition for a couple of reasons:
it can cause corner-case crashes in applications (cf commit c5ef8ce53d),
and there's no well-defined way for applications to find out the socket
directory path that's actually in use. As an example of the latter
problem, psql substituted DEFAULT_PGSOCKET_DIR for NULL in a couple of
places, but this is subtly wrong because it's conceivable that psql is
using a libpq shared library that was built with a different setting.
Hence, change PQhost() to return DEFAULT_PGSOCKET_DIR when appropriate,
and strip out the now-dead substitutions in psql. (There is still one
remaining reference to DEFAULT_PGSOCKET_DIR in psql, in prompt.c, which
I don't see a nice way to get rid of. But it only controls a prompt
abbreviation decision, so it seems noncritical.)
Also update the docs for PQhost, which had never previously mentioned
the possibility of a socket directory path being returned. In passing
fix the outright-incorrect code comment about PGconn.pgunixsocket.
Failure to initially palloc the comboCids array, or to realloc it bigger
when needed, left combocid's data structures in an inconsistent state that
would cause trouble if the top transaction continues to execute. Noted
while examining a user complaint about the amount of memory used for this.
(There's not much we can do about that, but it does point up that repalloc
failure has a non-negligible chance of occurring here.)
In HEAD/9.5, also avoid possible invocation of memcpy() with a null pointer
in SerializeComboCIDState; cf commit 13bba0227.
PQhost() can return NULL in non-error situations, namely when a Unix-socket
connection has been selected by default. That behavior is a tad debatable
perhaps, but for the moment we should make sure that psql copes with it.
Unfortunately, do_connect() failed to: it could pass a NULL pointer to
strcmp(), resulting in crashes on most platforms. This was reported as a
security issue by ChenQin of Topsec Security Team, but the consensus of
the security list is that it's just a garden-variety bug with no security
implications.
For paranoia's sake, I made the keep_password test not trust PQuser or
PQport either, even though I believe those will never return NULL given
a valid PGconn.
Back-patch to all supported branches.
The integer overflow situation in div_var_fast() is a great deal more
complicated than the pre-existing comments would suggest. Moreover, the
comments were also flat out incorrect as to the precise statement of the
maxdiv loop invariant. Upon clarifying that, it becomes apparent that the
way in which we updated maxdiv after a carry propagation pass was overly
slow, complex, and conservative: we can just reset it to one, which is much
easier and also reduces the number of times carry propagation occurs.
Fix that and improve the relevant comments.
Since this is mostly a comment fix, with only a rather marginal performance
boost, no need for back-patch.

This behavior now matches that of other operating systems.

Backpatch through 9.1
The POSIX standard for tar headers requires archive member sizes to be
printed in octal with at most 11 digits, limiting the representable file
size to 8GB. However, GNU tar and apparently most other modern tars
support a convention in which oversized values can be stored in base-256,
allowing any practical file to be a tar member. Adopt this convention
to remove two limitations:
* pg_dump with -Ft output format failed if the contents of any one table
exceeded 8GB.
* pg_basebackup failed if the data directory contained any file exceeding
8GB. (This would be a fatal problem for installations configured with a
table segment size of 8GB or more, and it has also been seen to fail when
large core dump files exist in the data directory.)
File sizes under 8GB are still printed in octal, so that no compatibility
issues are created except in cases that would have failed entirely before.
In addition, this patch fixes several bugs in the same area:
* In 9.3 and later, we'd defined tarCreateHeader's file-size argument as
size_t, which meant that on 32-bit machines it would write a corrupt tar
header for file sizes between 4GB and 8GB, even though no error was raised.
This broke both "pg_dump -Ft" and pg_basebackup for such cases.
* pg_restore from a tar archive would fail on tables of size between 4GB
and 8GB, on machines where either "size_t" or "unsigned long" is 32 bits.
This happened even with an archive file not affected by the previous bug.
* pg_basebackup would fail if there were files of size between 4GB and 8GB,
even on 64-bit machines.
* In 9.3 and later, "pg_basebackup -Ft" failed entirely, for any file size,
on 64-bit big-endian machines.
In view of these potential data-loss bugs, back-patch to all supported
branches, even though removal of the documented 8GB limit might otherwise
be considered a new feature rather than a bug fix.
The previous way of reconstructing check constraints was to do a separate
"ALTER TABLE ONLY tab ADD CONSTRAINT" for each table in an inheritance
hierarchy. However, that way has no hope of reconstructing the check
constraints' own inheritance properties correctly, as pointed out in
bug #13779 from Jan Dirk Zijlstra. What we should do instead is to do
a regular "ALTER TABLE", allowing recursion, at the topmost table that
has a particular constraint, and then suppress the work queue entries
for inherited instances of the constraint.
Annoyingly, we'd tried to fix this behavior before, in commit 5ed6546cf,
but we failed to notice that it wasn't reconstructing the pg_constraint
field values correctly.
As long as I'm touching pg_get_constraintdef_worker anyway, tweak it to
always schema-qualify the target table name; this seems like useful backup
to the protections installed by commit 5f173040.
In HEAD/9.5, get rid of get_constraint_relation_oids, which is now unused.
(I could alternatively have modified it to also return conislocal, but that
seemed like a pretty single-purpose API, so let's not pretend it has some
other use.) It's unused in the back branches as well, but I left it in
place just in case some third-party code has decided to use it.
In HEAD/9.5, also rename pg_get_constraintdef_string to
pg_get_constraintdef_command, as the previous name did nothing to explain
what that entry point did differently from others (and its comment was
equally useless). Again, that change doesn't seem like material for
back-patching.
I did a bit of re-pgindenting in tablecmds.c in HEAD/9.5, as well.
Otherwise, back-patch to all supported branches.
The previous coding attempts to destroy the DSM in this case, but
child nodes might have stored data there and still be holding onto
pointers in this case. So don't do that.
Also, free the reader array instead of leaking it.

Silly mistake in my commit 09cecdf285, reported by Erik Rijkers.
The fact that the buildfarm didn't find this implies that we are not
testing Perl builds that lack MULTIPLICITY, which is a bit disturbing
from a coverage standpoint. Until today I'd have said nobody cared
about such configurations anymore; but maybe not.
This was already true for CREATE EXTENSION, but historically has not
been true for other object types. Therefore, this is a backward
incompatibility. Per discussion on pgsql-hackers, everyone seems to
agree that the new behavior is better.

The target is now named 'bincheck' rather than 'tapcheck' so that it
reflects what is checked instead of the test mechanism. Some of the
logic is improved, making it easier to add further sets of TAP based
tests in future. Also, the environment setting logic is imrpoved.
As discussed on -hackers a couple of months ago.
At least one of the names was, due to a function renaming late in the
development of ON CONFLICT, wrong. Since including function names in
error messages is against the message style guide anyway, remove them

Backpatch: 9.5, where ON CONFLICT was introduced
When I wrote this code originally, the intention was to recompute the
remapinfo only when the tupledesc changes. This presumably only
happens once per query, but I copied the design pattern from other
DestReceivers. However, due to a silly oversight on my part,
tqueue->tupledesc never got set, leading to recomputation for every
tuple.
This should improve the performance of parallel scans that return a
significant number of tuples.
Report by Amit Kapila; patch by me, reviewed by him.
div_var_fast() postpones propagating carries in the same way as mul_var(),
so it has the same corner-case overflow risk we fixed in 246693e5ae,
namely that the size of the carries has to be accounted for when setting
the threshold for executing a carry propagation step. We've not devised
a test case illustrating the brokenness, but the required fix seems clear
enough. Like the previous fix, back-patch to all active branches.

Review by Andres Freund
Since commit 11e131854f, ruleutils.c has
attempted to ensure that each RTE in a query or plan tree has a unique
alias name. However, the code that was added for this could be quite slow,
even as bad as O(N^3) if N identical RTE names must be replaced, as noted
by Jeff Janes. Improve matters by building a transient hash table within
set_rtable_names. The hash table in itself reduces the cost of detecting a
duplicate from O(N) to O(1), and we can save another factor of N by storing
the number of de-duplicated names already created for each entry, so that
we don't have to re-try names already created. This way is probably a bit
slower overall for small range tables, but almost by definition, such cases
should not be a performance problem.
In principle the same problem applies to the column-name-de-duplication
code; but in practice that seems to be less of a problem, first because
N is limited since we don't support extremely wide tables, and second
because duplicate column names within an RTE are fairly rare, so that in
practice the cost is more like O(N^2) not O(N^3). It would be very much
messier to fix the column-name code, so for now I've left that alone.
An independent problem in the same area was that the de-duplication code
paid no attention to the identifier length limit, and would happily produce
identifiers that were longer than NAMEDATALEN and wouldn't be unique after
truncation to NAMEDATALEN. This could result in dump/reload failures, or
perhaps even views that silently behaved differently than before. We can
fix that by shortening the base name as needed. Fix it for both the
relation and column name cases.
In passing, check for interrupts in set_rtable_names, just in case it's
still slow enough to be an issue.
Back-patch to 9.3 where this code was introduced.
Normally ruleutils prints a whole-row Var as "foo.*". We already knew that
that doesn't work at top level of a SELECT list, because the parser would
treat the "*" as a directive to expand the reference into separate columns,
not a whole-row Var. However, Joshua Yanovski points out in bug #13776
that the same thing happens at top level of a ROW() construct; and some
nosing around in the parser shows that the same is true in VALUES().
Hence, apply the same workaround already devised for the SELECT-list case,
namely to add a forced cast to the appropriate rowtype in these cases.
(The alternative of just printing "foo" was rejected because it is
difficult to avoid ambiguity against plain columns named "foo".)
Back-patch to all supported branches.
Set the "rscales" for intermediate-result calculations to ensure that
suitable numbers of significant digits are maintained throughout. The
previous coding hadn't thought this through in any detail, and as a result
could deliver results with many inaccurate digits, or in the worst cases
even fail with divide-by-zero errors as a result of losing all nonzero
digits of intermediate results.
In exp_var(), get rid entirely of the logic that separated the calculation
into integer and fractional parts: that was neither accurate nor
particularly fast. The existing range-reduction method of dividing by 2^n
can be applied across the full input range instead of only 0..1, as long as
we are careful to set an appropriate rscale for each step.
Also fix the logic in mul_var() for shortening the calculation when the
caller asks for fewer output digits than an exact calculation would
require. This bug doesn't affect simple multiplications since that code
path asks for an exact result, but it does contribute to accuracy issues
in the transcendental math functions.
In passing, improve performance of mul_var() a bit by forcing the shorter
input to be on the left, thus reducing the number of iterations of the
outer loop and probably also reducing the number of carry-propagation
steps needed.
This is arguably a bug fix, but in view of the lack of field complaints,
it does not seem worth the risk of back-patching.

Having the script prompt for passwords over and over was a preexisting
problem when it processed multiple databases or when it processed
multiple analyze stages, but the parallel mode introduced in commit
a179232047 made it worse.
Fix the annoyance by keeping a copy of the password used by the first
connection that requires one. Since users can (currently) only have a
single password, there's no need for more complex arrangements (such as
remembering one password per database).

This makes it significantly easier to identify these lwlocks in

In commit 210eb9b743 I centralized libpq's logic for closing down
the backend communication socket, and made the new pqDropConnection
routine always reset the I/O buffers to empty. Many of the call sites
previously had not had such code, and while that amounted to an oversight
in some cases, there was one place where it was intentional and necessary
*not* to flush the input buffer: pqReadData should never cause that to
happen, since we probably still want to process whatever data we read.
This is the true cause of the problem Robert was attempting to fix in
c3e7c24a1d, namely that libpq no longer reported the backend's final
ERROR message before reporting "server closed the connection unexpectedly".
But that only accidentally fixed it, by invoking parseInput before the
input buffer got flushed; and very likely there are timing scenarios
where we'd still lose the message before processing it.
To fix, pass a flag to pqDropConnection to tell it whether to flush the
input buffer or not. On review I think flushing is actually correct for
every other call site.
Back-patch to 9.3 where the problem was introduced. In HEAD, also improve
the comments added by c3e7c24a1d.
At least since the introduction of Hot Standby, the backend has
sometimes sent fatal errors even when no client query was in
progress, assuming that the client would receive it. However,
pqHandleSendFailure was not in sync with this assumption, and
only tries to catch notices and notifies. Add a parseInput call
to the loop there to fix.
Andres Freund suggested the fix. Comments are by me.

Letting backends continue to run if the postmaster has exited prevents
PostgreSQL from being restarted, which in many environments is
catastrophic. Worse, if some other backend crashes, we no longer have
any protection against shared memory corruption. So, arrange for them
to exit instead. We don't want to expend many cycles on this, but
including postmaster death in the set of things that we wait for when
a backend is idle seems cheap enough.

In commit 5d1ff6bd55 I added some logic to
relcache.c to try to ensure that the regression tests would fail if we
made a mistake about which relations belong in the relcache init files.
I'm quite sure I tested that, but I must have done so only for the
non-shared-catalog case, because a report from Adam Brightwell showed that
the regression tests still pass just fine if we bollix the shared-catalog
init file in the way this code was supposed to catch. The reason is that
that file gets loaded before we do client authentication, so the WARNING
is not sent to the client, only to the postmaster log, where it's far too
easily missed.
The least Rube Goldbergian answer to this is to put an Assert(false)
after the elog(WARNING). That will certainly get developers' attention,
while not breaking production builds' ability to recover from corner
cases with similar symptoms.
Since this is only of interest to developers, there seems no need for
a back-patch, even though the previous commit went into all branches.
Add a new flag, consider_parallel, to each RelOptInfo, indicating
whether a plan for that relation could conceivably be run inside of
a parallel worker. Right now, we're pretty conservative: for example,
it might be possible to defer applying a parallel-restricted qual
in a worker, and later do it in the leader, but right now we just
don't try to parallelize access to that relation. That's probably
the right decision in most cases, anyway.
Using the new flag, generate parallel sequential scan plans for plain
baserels, meaning that we now have parallel sequential scan in
PostgreSQL. The logic here is pretty unsophisticated right now: the
costing model probably isn't right in detail, and we can't push joins
beneath Gather nodes, so the number of plans that can actually benefit
from this is pretty limited right now. Lots more work is needed.
Nevertheless, it seems time to enable this functionality so that all
this code can actually be tested easily by users and developers.
Note that, if you wish to test this functionality, it will be
necessary to set max_parallel_degree to a value greater than the
default of 0. Once a few more loose ends have been tidied up here, we
might want to consider changing the default value of this GUC, but
I'm leaving it alone for now.
Along the way, fix a bug in cost_gather: the previous coding thought
that a Gather node's transfer overhead should be costed on the basis of
the relation size rather than the number of tuples that actually need
to be passed off to the leader.
Patch by me, reviewed in earlier versions by Amit Kapila.
In addition, this path fills in a number of missing bits and pieces in
the parallel infrastructure. Paths and plans now have a parallel_aware
flag indicating whether whatever parallel-aware logic they have should
be engaged. It is believed that we will need this flag for a number of
path/plan types, not just sequential scans, which is why the flag is
generic rather than part of the SeqScan structures specifically.
Also, execParallel.c now gives parallel nodes a chance to initialize
their PlanState nodes from the DSM during parallel worker startup.
