Tom Lane 19adcaf00f Avoid reference to nonexistent array element in ExecInitAgg().
When considering an empty grouping set, we fetched
phasedata->eqfunctions[-1].  Because the eqfunctions array is
palloc'd, that would always be an aset pointer in released versions,
and thus the code accidentally failed to malfunction (since it would
do nothing unless it found a null pointer).  Nonetheless this seems
like trouble waiting to happen, so add a check for length == 0.

It's depressing that our valgrind testing did not catch this.
Maybe we should reconsider the choice to not mark that word NOACCESS?

The query used to disable WITH OIDS in all the relations making use of
it was checking for materialized views, but this is not a supported
operation.  On the contrary, this needs to be done on foreign tables.

Tom Lane 4fceb454f2 Add some recursion and looping defenses in prepjointree.c.
Andrey Lepikhov demonstrated a case where we spend an unreasonable
amount of time in pull_up_subqueries().  Not only is that recursing
with no explicit check for stack overrun, but the code seems not
interruptable by control-C.  Let's stick a CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS
there, along with sprinkling some stack depth checks.

An actual fix for the excessive time consumption seems a bit
risky to back-patch; but this isn't, so let's do so.

Tom Lane d35f1d485c Fix contrib/seg to be more wary of long input numbers.
seg stores the number of significant digits in an input number
in a "char" field.  If char is signed, and the input is more than
127 digits long, the count can read out as negative causing
seg_out() to print garbage (or, if you're really unlucky,
even crash).

To fix, clamp the digit count to be not more than FLT_DIG.
(In theory this loses some information about what the original
input was, but it doesn't seem like useful information; it would
not survive dump/restore in any case.)

Also, in case there are stored values of the seg type containing
bad data, add a clamp in seg_out's restore() subroutine.

Per bug #17725 from Robins Tharakan.  It's been like this
forever, so back-patch to all supported branches.

David Rowley e39856d1f0 Re-adjust drop-index-concurrently-1 isolation test
It seems that drop-index-concurrently-1 has started to forget what it was
originally meant to be testing.  d2d8a229b, which added incremental sorts
changed the expected plan to be an Index Scan plan instead of a Seq Scan
plan.  This occurred as the primary key index of the table in question
provided presorted input and, because that index happened to be the
cheapest input path due to enable_seqscan being disabled, the incremental
sort changes just added a Sort on top of that.  It seems based on the name
of the PREPAREd statement that the intention here is that the query
produces a seqscan plan.

The reason this test has become broken seems to be due to how the test was
originally coded.  The test was trying to force a seqscan plan by
performing some casting to make it so the test_dc index couldn't be used
to perform the required filtering.  Trying to coax the planner into using
a plan which has costed in a disable_cost seems like it's always going to
be flakey as small changes in costs are drowned out by the large
disable_cost combined with add_path's STD_FUZZ_FACTOR.  Here we get rid of
the casts that we're using to try to trick the planner into a seqscan and
instead toggle enable_seqscan as and when required to get the desired
plan.

Additionally, rename a few things in the test and add some additional
wording to the comments to try and make it more clear in the future what
we expect this test to be doing.

Tom Lane 942cc240f9 Rethink handling of [Prevent|Is]InTransactionBlock in pipeline mode.
Commits f92944137 et al. made IsInTransactionBlock() set the
XACT_FLAGS_NEEDIMMEDIATECOMMIT flag before returning "false",
on the grounds that that kept its API promises equivalent to those of
PreventInTransactionBlock().  This turns out to be a bad idea though,
because it allows an ANALYZE in a pipelined series of commands to
cause an immediate commit, which is unexpected.

Furthermore, if we return "false" then we have another issue,
which is that ANALYZE will decide it's allowed to do internal
commit-and-start-transaction sequences, thus possibly unexpectedly
committing the effects of previous commands in the pipeline.

To fix the latter situation, invent another transaction state flag
XACT_FLAGS_PIPELINING, which explicitly records the fact that we
have executed some extended-protocol command and not yet seen a
commit for it.  Then, require that flag to not be set before allowing
InTransactionBlock() to return "false".

Having done that, we can remove its setting of NEEDIMMEDIATECOMMIT
without fear of causing problems.  This means that the API guarantees
of IsInTransactionBlock now diverge from PreventInTransactionBlock,
which is mildly annoying, but it seems OK given the very limited usage
of IsInTransactionBlock.  (In any case, a caller preferring the old
behavior could always set NEEDIMMEDIATECOMMIT for itself.)

For consistency also require XACT_FLAGS_PIPELINING to not be set
in PreventInTransactionBlock.  This too is meant to prevent commands
such as CREATE DATABASE from silently committing previous commands
in a pipeline.

Per report from Peter Eisentraut.  As before, back-patch to all
supported branches (which sadly no longer includes v10).

Tom Lane 4ebca555cf Fix generate_partitionwise_join_paths() to tolerate failure.
We might fail to generate a partitionwise join, because
reparameterize_path_by_child() does not support all path types.
This should not be a hard failure condition: we should just fall back
to a non-partitioned join.  However, generate_partitionwise_join_paths
did not consider this possibility and would emit the (misleading)
error "could not devise a query plan for the given query" if we'd
failed to make any paths for a child join.  Fix it to give up on
partitionwise joining if so.  (The accepted technique for giving up
appears to be to set rel->nparts = 0, which I find pretty bizarre,
but there you have it.)

I have not added a test case because there'd be little point:
any omissions of this sort that we identify would soon get fixed
by extending reparameterize_path_by_child(), so the test would stop
proving anything.  However, right now there is a known test case based
on failure to cover MaterialPath, and with that I've found that this
is broken in all supported versions.  Hence, patch all the way back.

Original report and patch by me; thanks to Richard Guo for
identifying a test case that works against committed versions.

Dean Rasheed 3bed881237 Fix DEFAULT handling for multi-row INSERT rules.
When updating a relation with a rule whose action performed an INSERT
from a multi-row VALUES list, the rewriter might skip processing the
VALUES list, and therefore fail to replace any DEFAULTs in it. This
would lead to an "unrecognized node type" error.

The reason was that RewriteQuery() assumed that a query doing an
INSERT from a multi-row VALUES list would necessarily only have one
item in its fromlist, pointing to the VALUES RTE to read from. That
assumption is correct for the original query, but not for product
queries produced for rule actions. In such cases, there may be
multiple items in the fromlist, possibly including multiple VALUES
RTEs.

What is required instead is for RewriteQuery() to skip any RTEs from
the product query's originating query, which might include one or more
already-processed VALUES RTEs. What's left should then include at most
one VALUES RTE (from the rule action) to be processed.

Patch by me. Thanks to Tom Lane for reviewing.

Andres Freund 7944d2d8c7 Prevent pgstats from getting confused when relkind of a relation changes
When the relkind of a relache entry changes, because a table is converted into
a view, pgstats can get confused in 15+, leading to crashes or assertion
failures.

For HEAD, Tom fixed this in b23cd185fd, by removing support for converting a
table to a view, removing the source of the inconsistency. This commit just
adds an assertion that a relcache entry's relkind does not change, just in
case we end up with another case of that in the future. As there's no cases of
changing relkind anymore, we can't add a test that that's handled correctly.

For 15, fix the problem by not maintaining the association with the old pgstat
entry when the relkind changes during a relcache invalidation processing. In
that case the pgstat entry needs to be unlinked first, to avoid
PgStat_TableStatus->relation getting out of sync. Also add a test reproducing
the issues.

No known problem exists in 11-14, so just add the test there.

Tom Lane 6e8ad11521 Improve heuristics for compressing the KnownAssignedXids array.
Previously, we'd compress only when the active range of array entries
reached Max(4 * PROCARRAY_MAXPROCS, 2 * pArray->numKnownAssignedXids).
If max_connections is large, the first term could result in not
compressing for a long time, resulting in much wastage of cycles in
hot-standby backends scanning the array to take snapshots.  Get rid
of that term, and just bound it to 2 * pArray->numKnownAssignedXids.

That however creates the opposite risk, that we might spend too much
effort compressing.  Hence, consider compressing only once every 128
commit records.  (This frequency was chosen by benchmarking.  While
we only tried one benchmark scenario, the results seem stable over
a fairly wide range of frequencies.)

Also, force compression when processing RecoveryInfo WAL records
(which should be infrequent); the old code could perform compression
then, but would do so only after the same array-range check as for
the transaction-commit path.

Also, opportunistically run compression if the startup process is about
to wait for WAL, though not oftener than once a second.  This should
prevent cases where we waste lots of time by leaving the array
not-compressed for long intervals due to low WAL traffic.

Lastly, add a simple check to keep us from uselessly compressing
when the array storage is already compact.

Back-patch, as the performance problem is worse in pre-v14 branches
than in HEAD.

there could be some in the semijoin's qual condition.  However, there

there is not any way that such a PHV could have gone to null yet, so

Amit Kapila 4ec157c150 Fix uninitialized access to InitialRunningXacts during decoding.
In commit 272248a0c, we introduced an InitialRunningXacts array to
remember transactions and subtransactions that were running when the
xl_running_xacts record that we decoded was written. This array was
allocated in the snapshot builder memory context after we restore
serialized snapshot but we forgot to reset the array while freeing the
builder memory context. So, the next time when we start decoding in the
same session where we don't restore any serialized snapshot, we ended up
using the uninitialized array and that can lead to unpredictable behavior.

This problem doesn't exist in HEAD as instead of using
InitialRunningXacts, we added the list of transaction IDs and
sub-transaction IDs, that have modified catalogs and are running during
snapshot serialization, to the serialized snapshot (see commit 7f13ac8123).

Tom Lane 6e639267a5 YA attempt at taming worst-case behavior of get_actual_variable_range.
We've made multiple attempts at preventing get_actual_variable_range
from taking an unreasonable amount of time (3ca930fc3, fccebe421).
But there's still an issue for the very first planning attempt after
deletion of a large number of extremal-valued tuples.  While that
planning attempt will set "killed" bits on the tuples it visits and
thereby reduce effort for next time, there's still a lot of work it
has to do to visit the heap and then set those bits.  It's (usually?)
not worth it to do that much work at plan time to have a slightly
better estimate, especially in a context like this where the table
contents are known to be mutating rapidly.

Therefore, let's bound the amount of work to be done by giving up
after we've visited 100 heap pages.  Giving up just means we'll
fall back on the extremal value recorded in pg_statistic, so it
shouldn't mean that planner estimates suddenly become worthless.

Note that this means we'll still gradually whittle down the problem
by setting a few more index "killed" bits in each planning attempt;
so eventually we'll reach a good state (barring further deletions),
even in the absence of VACUUM.

adjustments by me).  Back-patch to all supported branches.

Andrew Dunstan 4b9013d64f Prevent port collisions between concurrent TAP tests
Currently there is a race condition where if concurrent TAP tests both
test that they can open a port they will assume that it is free and use
it, causing one of them to fail. To prevent this we record a reservation
using an exclusive lock, and any TAP test that discovers a reservation
checks to see if the reserving process is still alive, and looks for
another free port if it is.

Ports are reserved in a directory set by the environment setting
PG_TEST_PORT_DIR, or if that doesn't exist a subdirectory of the top
build directory as set by Makefile.global, or its own
tmp_check directory.

The prove_check recipe in Makefile.global.in is extended to export
top_builddir to the TAP tests. This was already exported by the
prove_installcheck recipes.

doing so in the parallel function TS_phrase_execute, which
surely needs one just as much.

Back-patch because of the missing CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS.
Might as well back-patch the rest of this too.

Andres Freund c13667b518 Fix mislabeling of PROC_QUEUE->links as PGPROC, fixing UBSan on 32bit
ProcSleep() used a PGPROC* variable to point to PROC_QUEUE->links.next,
because that does "the right thing" with SHMQueueInsertBefore(). While that
largely works, it's certainly not correct and unnecessary - we can just use
SHM_QUEUE* to point to the insertion point.

Noticed when testing a 32bit of postgres with undefined behavior
sanitizer. UBSan noticed that sometimes the supposed PGPROC wasn't
sufficiently aligned (required since 46d6e5f567, ensured indirectly, via
ShmemAllocRaw() guaranteeing cacheline alignment).

For now fix this by using a SHM_QUEUE* for the insertion point. Subsequently
we should replace all the use of PROC_QUEUE and SHM_QUEUE with ilist.h, but
that's a larger change that we don't want to backpatch.

Backpatch to all supported versions - it's useful to be able to run postgres
under UBSan.

Tom Lane a5b26aaafe pg_dump: avoid unsafe function calls in getPolicies().
getPolicies() had the same disease I fixed in other places in
commit e3fcbbd62, i.e., it was calling pg_get_expr() for
expressions on tables that we don't necessarily have lock on.
To fix, restrict the query to only collect interesting rows,
rather than doing the filtering on the client side.

Tom Lane 9a299cf7c2 Replace RelationOpenSmgr() with RelationGetSmgr().
This is a back-patch of the v15-era commit f10f0ae42 into older
supported branches.  The idea is to design out bugs in which an
ill-timed relcache flush clears rel->rd_smgr partway through
some code sequence that wasn't expecting that.  We had another
report today of a corner case that reliably crashes v14 under
debug_discard_caches (nee CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS), and therefore
would crash once in a blue moon in the field.  We're unlikely
to get rid of all such code paths unless we adopt the more
rigorous coding rules instituted by f10f0ae42.  Therefore,
even though this is a bit invasive, it's time to back-patch.
Some comfort can be taken in the fact that f10f0ae42 has been
in v15 for 16 months without problems.

I left the RelationOpenSmgr macro present in the back branches,
even though no core code should use it anymore, in order to not break
third-party extensions in minor releases.  Such extensions might opt
to start using RelationGetSmgr instead, to reduce their code
differential between v15 and earlier branches.  This carries a hazard
of failing to compile against headers from existing minor releases.
However, once compiled the extension should work fine even with such
releases, because RelationGetSmgr is a "static inline" function so
it creates no link-time dependency.  So depending on distribution
practices, that might be an OK tradeoff.

Per report from Spyridon Dimitrios Agathos.  Original patch
by Amul Sul.

Amit Kapila 20c2233363 Fix cleanup lock acquisition in SPLIT_ALLOCATE_PAGE replay.
During XLOG_HASH_SPLIT_ALLOCATE_PAGE replay, we were checking for a
cleanup lock on the new bucket page after acquiring an exclusive lock on
it and raising a PANIC error on failure. However, it is quite possible
that checkpointer can acquire the pin on the same page before acquiring a
lock on it, and then the replay will lead to an error. So instead, directly
acquire the cleanup lock on the new bucket page during
XLOG_HASH_SPLIT_ALLOCATE_PAGE replay operation.

Jeff Davis 58a45bb1d8 Fix theoretical torn page hazard.
The original report was concerned with a possible inconsistency
between the heap and the visibility map, which I was unable to
confirm. The concern has been retracted.

However, there did seem to be a torn page hazard when using
checksums. By not setting the heap page LSN during redo, the
protections of minRecoveryPoint were bypassed. Fixed, along with a
misleading comment.

It may have been impossible to hit this problem in practice, because
it would require a page tear between the checksum and the flags, so I
am marking this as a theoretical risk. But, as discussed, it did
violate expectations about the page LSN, so it may have other
consequences.

Backpatch to all supported versions.

The stanza "SET STORAGE may need to add a TOAST table" does not
test what it's supposed to, and hasn't done so since we added
the ability to store constant column default values as metadata.
We need to use a non-constant default to get the expected table
rewrite to actually happen.

Fix that, and add the missing checks that would have exposed the
problem to begin with.

Tom Lane 0942acb73e Re-allow building on Microsoft Visual Studio 2013.
In commit 450ee7012 I supposed that all platforms we now care about have
snprintf(), since that's required by C99.  Turns out that Microsoft did
not get around to adding that until VS2015.  We've dropped support for
VS2013 as of HEAD (cf 6203583b7), but not in the back branches, so add
a hack for this in the back branches only.

There's no easy shortcut to an exact emulation of standard snprintf
in VS2013, but fortunately we don't need one: this code was just fine
with using sprintf before 450ee7012, so we can make it do so again
on that platform (and any others where the problem might crop up).

Per bug #17681 from Daisuke Higuchi.  Back-patch to v12, like the
previous patch.

Michael Paquier c304c069d1 Fix compilation warnings with libselinux 3.1 in contrib/sepgsql/
Upstream SELinux has recently marked security_context_t as officially
deprecated, causing warnings with -Wdeprecated-declarations.  This is
considered as legacy code for some time now by upstream as
security_context_t got removed from most of the code tree during the
development of 2.3 back in 2014.

This removes all the references to security_context_t in sepgsql/ to be
consistent with SELinux, fixing the warnings.  Note that this does not
impact the minimum version of libselinux supported.

This has been applied first as 1f32136 for 14~, but no other branches
got the call.  This is in line with the recent project policy to have no
warnings in branches where builds should still be supported (9.2~ as of
today).  Per discussion with Tom Lane and Álvaro Herrera.

Tom Lane 2dca4d38c0 Doc: improve tutorial section about grouped aggregates.
Commit fede15417 introduced FILTER by jamming it into the existing
example introducing HAVING, which seems pedagogically poor to me;
and it added no information about what the keyword actually does.
Not to mention that the claimed output didn't match the sample
data being used in this running example.

Revert that and instead make an independent example using FILTER.
To help drive home the point that it's a per-aggregate filter,
we need to use two aggregates not just one; for consistency
expand all the examples in this segment to do that.

Also adjust the example using WHERE ... LIKE so that it'd produce
nonempty output with this sample data, and show that output.

Back-patch, as the previous patch was.  (Sadly, v10 is now out
of scope.)
