Buildfarm says we get different plans on 32-bit and 64-bit platforms,
probably because of MAXALIGN-related differences in memory-consumption
calculations. Add some dummy WHERE clauses so that the planner estimates
different sizes for the three generate_series() relations; that should
stabilize the choice of join order.
This is needed to allow ORDER BY, DISTINCT, etc to work as expected for
pg_lsn values.
We had previously decided to put this off for 9.5, but in view of commit
eeca4cd35e there's no reason to avoid a
catversion bump for 9.4beta2, and this does make a pretty significant
usability difference for pg_lsn.
Michael Paquier, with fixes from Andres Freund and Tom Lane
This should have been done in 6bc8ef0b7f
and/or 50e547096c, but better late than
never. If we don't change this then we risk 9.3 pg_controldata or
pg_resetxlog being inappropriately used against a 9.4 pg_control file,
or vice versa.
HeapTupleSatisfiesVacuum() didn't properly discern between
DELETE_IN_PROGRESS and INSERT_IN_PROGRESS for rows that have been
inserted in the current transaction and deleted in a aborted
subtransaction of the current backend. At the very least that caused
problems for CLUSTER and CREATE INDEX in transactions that had
aborting subtransactions producing rows, leading to warnings like:
WARNING: concurrent delete in progress within table "..."
possibly in an endless, uninterruptible, loop.
Instead of treating *InProgress xmins the same as *IsCurrent ones,
treat them as being distinct like the other visibility routines. As
implemented this separatation can cause a behaviour change for rows
that have been inserted and deleted in another, still running,
transaction. HTSV will now return INSERT_IN_PROGRESS instead of
DELETE_IN_PROGRESS for those. That's both, more in line with the other
visibility routines and arguably more correct. The latter because a
INSERT_IN_PROGRESS will make callers look at/wait for xmin, instead of
xmax.
The only current caller where that's possibly worse than the old
behaviour is heap_prune_chain() which now won't mark the page as
prunable if a row has concurrently been inserted and deleted. That's
harmless enough.
As a cautionary measure also insert a interrupt check before the gotos
in IndexBuildHeapScan() that lead to the uninterruptible loop. There
are other possible causes, like a row that several sessions try to
update and all fail, for repeated loops and the cost of doing so in
the retry case is low.
As this bug goes back all the way to the introduction of
subtransactions in 573a71a5da backpatch to all supported releases.

187492b6c2 changed pgstat.c so that
the stats files were saved into $PGDATA/pg_stat directory when the server
was shutdowned. But it accidentally forgot to change the location of
pg_stat_statements permanent stats file. This commit fixes pg_stat_statements
so that its stats file is also saved into $PGDATA/pg_stat at shutdown.
Since this fix changes the file layout, we don't back-patch it to 9.3
where this oversight was introduced.
Per gripe from Peter Eisentraut and Tom Lane.
The output is slightly different, but still ISO 8601 compliant: to_char
doesn't output the minutes when time zone offset is an integer number of
hours, while EncodeDateTime outputs ":00".
The code is slightly adapted from code in xml.c
Previously, any backslash in text being escaped for JSON was doubled so
that the result was still valid JSON. However, this led to some perverse
results in the case of Unicode sequences, These are now detected and the
initial backslash is no longer escaped. All other backslashes are
still escaped. No validity check is performed, all that is looked for is
\uXXXX where X is a hexidecimal digit.
This is a change from the 9.2 and 9.3 behaviour as noted in the Release
notes.
Per complaint from Teodor Sigaev.
Many JSON processors require timestamp strings in ISO 8601 format in
order to convert the strings. When converting a timestamp, with or
without timezone, to a JSON datum we therefore now use such a format
rather than the type's default text output, in functions such as
to_json().
This is a change in behaviour from 9.2 and 9.3, as noted in the release
notes.
This test previously used a data value containing U+0080, and would
therefore fail if the database encoding didn't have an equivalent to
that; which only about half of our supported server encodings do.
We could fall back to using some plain-ASCII character, but that seems
like it's losing most of the point of the test. Instead switch to using
U+00A0 (no-break space), which translates into all our supported encodings
except the four in the EUC_xx family.
Per buildfarm testing. Back-patch to 9.1, which is as far back as this
test is expected to succeed everywhere. (9.0 has the test, but without
back-patching some 9.1 code changes we could not expect to get consistent
results across platforms anyway.)
Because RecoveryConflictInterrupt() didn't set the process latch
anything using the latter to wait for events didn't get notified about
recovery conflicts. Most latch users are never the target of recovery
conflicts, which explains the lack of reports about this until
now.
Since 9.3 two possible affected users exist though: The sql callable
pg_sleep() now uses latches to wait and background workers are
expected to use latches in their main loop. Both would currently wait
until the end of WaitLatch's timeout.
Fix by adding a SetLatch() to RecoveryConflictInterrupt(). It'd also
be possible to fix the issue by having each latch user set
set_latch_on_sigusr1. That seems failure prone and though, as most of
these callsites won't often receive recovery conflicts and thus will
likely only be tested against normal query cancels et al. It'd also be
unnecessarily verbose.
Backpatch to 9.1 where latches were introduced. Arguably 9.3 would be
sufficient, because that's where pg_sleep() was converted to waiting
on the latch and background workers got introduced; but there could be
user level code making use of the latch pre 9.3.
Use the unaligned/no rowcount output mode in a regression tests that
shows all built-in leakproof functions. Currently a new leakproof
function will often change the alignment of all existing functions,
making it hard to see the actual difference and creating unnecessary
patch conflicts.
Noticed while looking over a patch introducing new leakproof functions.
Instead of iterating over jsonb structures, use the inbuilt functions
findJsonbValueFromContainerLen() and getIthJsonbValueFromContainer() to
extract values directly. These functions use algorithms that are O(n log
n) and O(1) respectively, whereas iterating is O(n), so we should see
considerable speedup here.
Teodor Sigaev.
As of Xcode 5.0, Apple isn't including the Python framework as part of the
SDK-level files, which means that linking to it might fail depending on
whether Xcode thinks you've selected a specific SDK version. According to
their Tech Note 2328, they've basically deprecated the framework method of
linking to libpython and are telling people to link to the shared library
normally. (I'm pretty sure this is in direct contradiction to the advice
they were giving a few years ago, but whatever.) Testing says that this
approach works fine at least as far back as OS X 10.4.11, so let's just
rip out the framework special case entirely. We do still need a special
case to decide that OS X provides a shared library at all, unfortunately
(I wonder why the distutils check doesn't work ...). But this is still
less of a special case than before, so it's fine.
Back-patch to all supported branches, since we'll doubtless be hearing
about this more as more people update to recent Xcode.
This reverts commit 45b7abe59e.
It turns out that the %name-prefix syntax without "=" does not work
at all in pre-2.4 Bison. We are not prepared to make such a large
jump in minimum required Bison version just to suppress a warning
message in a version hardly any developers are using yet.
When 3.0 gets more popular, we'll figure out a way to deal with this.
In the meantime, BISONFLAGS=-Wno-deprecated is recommendable for
anyone using 3.0 who doesn't want to see the warning.
Sometimes CREATE_REPLICATION_SLOT ... LOGICAL ... needs to wait for
further WAL using WalSndWaitForWal(). That used to always respect
wal_sender_timeout and kill the session when waiting long enough
because no feedback/ping messages can be sent while the slot is still
being created.
Introduce the notion that last_reply_timestamp = 0 means that the
walsender currently doesn't need timeout processing to avoid that
problem. Use that notion for CREATE_REPLICATION_SLOT ... LOGICAL.
Bugreport and initial patch by Steve Singer, revised by me.
The only caller of compareJsonbScalarValue that needed locale-sensitive
comparison of strings was also the only caller that didn't just check for
equality. Separate the two cases for clarity: compareJsonbScalarValue now
does locale-sensitive comparison, and a new function,
equalsJsonbScalarValue, just checks for equality.
Fix an over-zealous assertion, which didn't take into account that sometimes
a scalar element can be compared against an array/object element.
Avoid comparing possibly-uninitialized local variables when end-of-array or
end-of-object is reached. Also fix and enhance comments a bit.
Peter Geoghegan, per reports by Pavel Stehule and me.
%name-prefix doesn't use an "=" sign according to the Bison docs, but it
silently accepted one anyway, until Bison 3.0. This was originally a
typo of mine in commit 012abebab1, and we
seem to have slavishly copied the error into all the other grammar files.
Per report from Vik Fearing; analysis by Peter Eisentraut.
Back-patch to all active branches, since somebody might try to build
a back branch with up-to-date tools.
Move the code that sends the initial status information as well as the
calculation of paths inside the ENSURE_ERROR_CLEANUP block. If this code
failed, we would "leak" a counter of number of concurrent backups, thereby
making the system always believe it was in backup mode. This could happen
if the sending failed (which it probably never did given that the small
amount of data to send would never cause a flush) or if the psprintf calls
ran out of memory. Both are very low risk, but all operations after
do_pg_start_backup should be protected.
In general it's not a good idea for built-in types in the 'U' category
to be marked preferred; they could draw behavior away from user-defined
types with similarly-named operators. pg_lsn is probably at low risk
of that right now given the lack of casts between it and other types,
but that doesn't make this marking OK.
Ordinarily we'd bump catversion when changing any predefined catalog
contents like this, but since we're past beta1, the costs of a forced
initdb seem to outweigh the benefits of guaranteed behavioral consistency.
There's not any known behavioral impact today anyway --- this is more
in the nature of being sure there's not problems in future.
Per an off-list complaint from Thomas Fanghaenel.
The recent addition of regression tests to uuid-ossp exposed the fact
that the MSVC build system wasn't being consistent about whether it was
building/testing that contrib module, ie, it would try to test the module
even when it hadn't built it. The same hazard was latent for sslinfo.
For the moment I just copied the more up-to-date logic from point A to
point B, but this is screaming for refactoring.
Per buildfarm results.
Commit 5035701e07 improved xlog.c's method
for creating a database system identifier, but I neglected to fix the
copy of that code appearing in pg_resetxlog.c. Spotted by Andres Freund.
Allow the contrib/uuid-ossp extension to be built atop any one of these
three popular UUID libraries. (The extension's name is now arguably a
misnomer, but we'll keep it the same so as not to cause unnecessary
compatibility issues for users.)
We would not normally consider a change like this post-beta1, but the issue
has been forced by our upgrade to autoconf 2.69, whose more rigorous header
checks are causing OSSP's header files to be rejected on some platforms.
It's been foreseen for some time that we'd have to move away from depending
on OSSP UUID due to lack of upstream maintenance, so this is a down payment
on that problem.
While at it, add some simple regression tests, in hopes of catching any
major incompatibilities between the three implementations.

The bug was caused by omitting 'I:' from the short argument list to
getopt_long(). To make similar bugs in the future less likely reorder
options in --help, long and short option lists to be in the same,
alphabetical within groups, order.
Report and fix by Michael Paquier, some additional reordering by me.
The new page deletion code didn't cope with the case the target page's
right sibling was marked half-dead. It failed a sanity check which checked
that the downlinks in the parent page match the lower level, because a
half-dead page has no downlink. To cope, check for that condition, and
just give up on the deletion if it happens. The vacuum will finish the
deletion of the half-dead page when it gets there, and on the next vacuum
after that the empty can be deleted.
Reported by Jeff Janes.
HeapTupleHeaderGetCmax() asserts that it is only used if the tuple has
been updated by the current transaction. That check is correct and
sensible but requires allocating memory if xmax is a multixact. When
wal_level is set to logical cmax needs to be included in a wal record
, generated inside a critical section, which can trigger the assertion
added in 4a170ee9e.

Define padding bytes in SharedInvalidationMessage structs to be
defined. Otherwise the sinvaladt.c ringbuffer, which is accessed by
multiple processes, will cause spurious valgrind warnings about
undefined memory being used. That's because valgrind remembers the
undefined bytes from the last local process's store, not realizing
that another process has written since, filling the previously
uninitialized bytes.
Commit af7914c662, which introduced the
EXPLAIN (TIMING) option, for some reason coded explain.c to look at
planstate->instrument->need_timer rather than es->timing to decide
whether to print timing info. However, the former flag might get set
as a result of contrib/auto_explain wanting timing information. We
certainly don't want activation of auto_explain to change user-visible
statement behavior, so fix that.
Also fix an independent bug introduced in the same patch: in the code
path for a never-executed node with a machine-friendly output format,
if timing was selected, it would fail to print the Actual Rows and Actual
Loops items.
Per bug #10404 from Tomonari Katsumata. Back-patch to 9.2 where the
faulty code was introduced.
I got the backup block numbers off-by-one in the commit that changed the
way incomplete-splits are handled. I blame the comments, which said
"backup block 1" and "backup block 2", even though the backup blocks
are numbered starting from 0, in the macros and functions used in replay.
Fix the comments and the code.
Per Jeff Janes' bug report about corruption caused by torn page writes.
The incorrect code is new in git master, but backpatch the comment change
down to 9.0, where the numbering in the redo-side macros was changed.
That's what I get for not fully retesting the final version of the patch.
The replace_allowed cross-check needs an additional special case for
bootstrapping.
RelationCacheInsert() ignored the possibility that hash_search(HASH_ENTER)
might find a hashtable entry already present for the same OID. However,
that can in fact occur during recursive relcache load scenarios. When it
did happen, we overwrote the pointer to the pre-existing Relation, causing
a session-lifespan leakage of that entire structure. As far as is known,
the pre-existing Relation would always have reference count zero by the
time we arrive back at the outer insertion, so add code that deletes the
pre-existing Relation if so. If by some chance its refcount is positive,
elog a WARNING and allow the pre-existing Relation to be leaked as before.
Also, AttrDefaultFetch() was sloppy about leaking the cstring form of the
pg_attrdef.adbin value it's copying into the relcache structure. This is
only a query-lifespan leakage, and normally not very significant, but it
adds up during CLOBBER_CACHE testing.
These bugs are of very ancient vintage, but I'll refrain from back-patching
since there's no evidence that these leaks amount to anything in ordinary
usage.
The fallback implementation involves acquiring and releasing a spinlock
variable that is otherwise unreferenced --- not even to the extent of
initializing it. This accidentally fails to fail on platforms where
spinlocks should be initialized to zeroes, but elsewhere it results in
a "stuck spinlock" failure during startup.
I griped about this last July, and put in a hack that worked for gcc
on HPPA, but didn't get around to fixing the general case. Per the
discussion back then, the best thing to do seems to be to initialize
dummy_spinlock in main.c.
The xl_heap_header_len structures in an XLOG_HEAP_UPDATE record aren't
necessarily aligned adequately. The regular replay function for these
records is aware of that, but decode.c didn't get the memo. I'm not
sure why the buildfarm failed to catch this; the test_decoding test
certainly blows up real good on my old HPPA box.
Also, I'm pretty sure that the address arithmetic was wrong for the
case of XLOG_HEAP_CONTAINS_OLD and not XLOG_HEAP_CONTAINS_NEW_TUPLE,
though this apparently can't happen when logical decoding is active.
transam/README explained how B-tree incomplete splits were tracked and
fixed after recovery, as an example of handling complex actions that need
multiple WAL records, but that's not how it works anymore. Explain the new
paradigm.
Several years ago we changed chr(int) so that if the database encoding is
UTF8, it would interpret its argument as a Unicode code point and expand it
into the appropriate multibyte sequence. However, we weren't sufficiently
careful about checking validity of the input. According to RFC3629, UTF8
disallows code points above U+10FFFF (note that the predecessor standard
RFC2279 was more liberal). Also, both versions of the UTF8 spec agree
that Unicode surrogate-pair codes should never appear in UTF8. Because
our encoding validity checks follow RFC3629, our failure to enforce these
restrictions in chr() means it could be used to produce text strings that
will be rejected when the database is dumped and reloaded. To ensure
consistency with the input functions, let's actually apply
pg_utf8_islegal() to the proposed output of chr().
Per discussion, this seems like too much of a behavioral change to
back-patch, but it's not too late to squeeze it into 9.4.
The decoding of prepared transaction commits accidentally used the XID of
the transaction performing the COMMIT PREPARED, not the XID of the prepared
transaction. Before bb38fb0d43 that lead to those transactions not being
decoded, afterwards to a assertion failure.
Let's complain about e.g an invalid path or permission problem sooner rather
than later. Before this patch, we would only try to open the output file
after receiving the first decoded message from the server.
Commit dd428c79 added dbId and tsId to the xl_xact_commit struct but missed
that prepared transaction commits reuse that struct. Fix that.
Because those fields were left unitialized, replaying a commit prepared WAL
record in a hot standby node would fail to remove the relcache init file.
That can lead to "could not open file" errors on the standby. Relcache init
file only needs to be removed when a system table/index is rewritten in the
transaction using two phase commit, so that should be rare in practice. In
HEAD, the incorrect dbId/tsId values are also used for filtering in logical
replication code, causing the transaction to always be filtered out.
Analysis and fix by Andres Freund. Backpatch to 9.0 where hot standby was
introduced.
In yesterday's commit 2dc4f011fd, I tried
to force buffering of stdout/stderr in initdb to be what it is by
default when the program is run interactively on Unix (since that's how
most manual testing is done). This tripped over the fact that Windows
doesn't support _IOLBF mode. We dealt with that a long time ago in
syslogger.c by falling back to unbuffered mode on Windows. Export that
solution in port.h and use it in initdb.
Back-patch to 8.4, like the previous commit.
Don't close stdout on SIGHUP. Also, when a SIGHUP is received, close the
file immediately, rather than only after receiving some more data from
the server. Rename a variable, to avoid mentally dealing with double
negatives (not unsynced means synced).
The proc array can contain duplicate XIDs, when a transaction is just being
prepared for two-phase commit. To cope, remove any duplicates in
txid_current_snapshot(). Also ignore duplicates in the input functions, so
that if e.g. you have an old pg_dump file that already contains duplicates,
it will be accepted.
Report and fix by Jan Wieck. Backpatch to all supported versions.
To lock a prepared transaction's shared memory entry, we used to mark it
with the XID of the backend. When the XID was no longer active according
to the proc array, the entry was implicitly considered as not locked
anymore. However, when preparing a transaction, the backend's proc array
entry was cleared before transfering the locks (and some other state) to
the prepared transaction's dummy PGPROC entry, so there was a window where
another backend could finish the transaction before it was in fact fully
prepared.
To fix, rewrite the locking mechanism of global transaction entries. Instead
of an XID, just have simple locked-or-not flag in each entry (we store the
locking backend's backend id rather than a simple boolean, but that's just
for debugging purposes). The backend is responsible for explicitly unlocking
the entry, and to make sure that that happens, install a callback to unlock
it on abort or process exit.
Backpatch to all supported versions.
Since this program may print to either stdout or stderr, the relative
ordering of its messages depends on the buffering behavior of those files.
Force stdout to be line-buffered and stderr to be unbuffered, ensuring
that the behavior will match standard Unix interactive behavior, even
when stdout and stderr are rerouted to a file.
Per complaint from Tomas Vondra. The particular case he pointed out is
new in HEAD, but issues of the same sort could arise in any branch with
other error messages, so back-patch to all branches.
I'm unsure whether we might not want to do this in other client programs
as well. For the moment, just fix initdb.
rd_replidindex should be managed the same as rd_oidindex, and rd_keyattr
and rd_idattr should be managed like rd_indexattr. Omissions in this area
meant that the bitmapsets computed for rd_keyattr and rd_idattr would be
leaked during any relcache flush, resulting in a slow but permanent leak in
CacheMemoryContext. There was also a tiny probability of relcache entry
corruption if we ran out of memory at just the wrong point in
RelationGetIndexAttrBitmap. Otherwise, the fields were not zeroed where
expected, which would not bother the code any AFAICS but could greatly
confuse anyone examining the relcache entry while debugging.
Also, create an API function RelationGetReplicaIndex rather than letting
non-relcache code be intimate with the mechanisms underlying caching of
that value (we won't even mention the memory leak there).
Also, fix a relcache flush hazard identified by Andres Freund:
RelationGetIndexAttrBitmap must not assume that rd_replidindex stays valid
across index_open.
The aspects of this involving rd_keyattr date back to 9.3, so back-patch
those changes.
Historically we've printed a complaint for a bad locale setting, but then
fallen back to the environment default. Per discussion, this is not such
a great idea, because rectifying an erroneous locale choice post-initdb
(perhaps long after data has been loaded) could be enormously expensive.
Better to complain and give the user a chance to double-check things.
The behavior was particularly bad if the bad setting came from environment
variables rather than a bogus command-line switch: in that case not only
was there a fallback to C/SQL_ASCII, but the printed complaint was quite
unhelpful. It's hard to be entirely sure what variables setlocale looked
at, but we can at least give a hint where the problem might be.
Per a complaint from Tomas Vondra.
When cache invalidations arrive while ri_LoadConstraintInfo() is busy
filling a new cache entry, InvalidateConstraintCacheCallBack() compares
the - not yet initialized - oidHashValue field with the to-be-invalidated
hash value. To fix, check whether the entry is already marked as invalid.

America/Metlakatla hasn't been in the IANA database all that long, so
some installations might not have it. It does seem worthwhile to test
with a fractional-minute GMT offset, but we can get that from almost
any pre-1900 date; I chose Europe/Paris, whose LMT offset from Greenwich
should be pretty darn well established.
Also, assuming that Mars/Mons_Olympus will never be in the IANA database
seems less than future-proof, so let's use a more fanciful location for
the bad-zone-name check.
Per complaint from Christoph Berg.
config.pl and buildenv.pl can be used to customize build settings when
using MSVC. They should never get committed into the common source tree.
Back-patch to 9.0; it looks like the rules were different in 8.4.

The leak is fairly small and rare, but a leak nevertheless.
Per Coverity report. Backpatch to 9.2, where pg_receivexlog was added.
pg_basebackup shares the code, but it always exits on error, so there is
no real leak.
The original coding for ALTER SYSTEM made a fundamentally bogus assumption
that postgresql.auto.conf could be sought relative to the main config file
if we hadn't yet determined the value of data_directory. This fails for
common arrangements with the config file elsewhere, as reported by
Christoph Berg.
The simplest fix is to not try to read postgresql.auto.conf until after
SelectConfigFiles has chosen (and locked down) the data_directory setting.
Because of the logic in ProcessConfigFile for handling resetting of GUCs
that've been removed from the config file, we cannot easily read the main
and auto config files separately; so this patch adopts a brute force
approach of reading the main config file twice during postmaster startup.
That's a tad ugly, but the actual time cost is likely to be negligible,
and there's no time for a more invasive redesign before beta.
With this patch, any attempt to set data_directory via ALTER SYSTEM
will be silently ignored. It would probably be better to throw an
error, but that can be dealt with later. This bug, however, would
prevent any testing of ALTER SYSTEM by a significant fraction of the
userbase, so it seems important to get it fixed before beta.
There's no longer much pressure to switch the default GIN opclass for
jsonb, but there was still some unhappiness with the name "jsonb_hash_ops",
since hashing is no longer a distinguishing property of that opclass,
and anyway it seems like a relatively minor detail. At the suggestion of
Heikki Linnakangas, we'll use "jsonb_path_ops" instead; that captures the
important characteristic that each index entry depends on the entire path
from the document root to the indexed value.
Also add a user-facing explanation of the implementation properties of
these two opclasses.
Per discussion, this seems like a more consistent choice of name.

When returning rows from a bitmap, as done with partial match queries, we
would get stuck in an infinite loop if the bitmap contained a lossy page
reference.
This bug is new in master, it was introduced by the patch to allow skipping
items refuted by other entries in GIN scans.
Report and fix by Alexander Korotkov
reserveFromBuffer() failed to consider the possibility that it needs to
more-than-double the current buffer size. Beyond that, it seems likely
that we'd someday need to worry about integer overflow of the buffer
length variable. Rather than reinvent the logic that's already been
debugged in stringinfo.c, let's go back to using that logic. We can
still have the same targeted API, but we'll rely on stringinfo.c to
manage reallocation.
Per report from Alexander Korotkov.
These functions were relying on typcategory to identify arrays and
composites, which is not reliable and not the normal way to do it.
Using typcategory to identify boolean, numeric types, and json itself is
also pretty questionable, though the code in those cases didn't seem to be
at risk of anything worse than wrong output. Instead, use the standard
lsyscache functions to identify arrays and composites, and rely on a direct
check of the type OID for the other cases.
In HEAD, also be sure to look through domains so that a domain is treated
the same as its base type for conversions to JSON. However, this is a
small behavioral change; given the lack of field complaints, we won't
back-patch it.
In passing, refactor so that there's only one copy of the code that decides
which conversion strategy to apply, not multiple copies that could (and
have) gotten out of sync.
Post-commit review identified a number of places where addition was
used instead of multiplication or memory wasn't zeroed where it should
have been. This commit also fixes one case where a structure member
was mis-initialized, and moves another memory allocation closer to
the place where the allocated storage is used for clarity.
Andres Freund
This code really needs to be refactored so that there aren't so many copies
that can diverge. Not to mention that this whole approach is probably
wrong. But for the moment I'll just stick my finger in the dike.
Per report from Michael Paquier.
Fix JSONB_MAX_ELEMS and JSONB_MAX_PAIRS macros to use CB_MASK in the
calculation. JENTRY_POSMASK happens to have the same value at the moment,
but that's just coincidental.
Refactor jsonb iterator functions, for readability.
Get rid of the JENTRY_ISFIRST flag. Whenever we handle JEntrys, we have
access to the whole array and have enough context information to know
which entry is the first. This frees up one bit in the JEntry header for
future use. While we're at it, shuffle the JEntry bits so that boolean
true and false go together, for aesthetic reasons.
Bump catalog version as this changes the on-disk format slightly.
Change the key representation so that values that would exceed 127 bytes
are hashed into short strings, and so that the original JSON datatype of
each value is recorded in the index. The hashing rule eliminates the major
objection to having this opclass be the default for jsonb, namely that it
could fail for plausible input data (due to GIN's restrictions on maximum
key length). Preserving datatype information doesn't really buy us much
right now, but it requires no extra space compared to the previous way,
and it might be useful later.
Also, change the consistency-checking functions to request recheck for
exists (jsonb ? text) and related operators. The original analysis that
this is an exactly checkable query was incorrect, since the index does
not preserve information about whether a key appears at top level in
the indexed JSON object. Add a test case demonstrating the problem.
Make some other, mostly cosmetic improvements to the code in jsonb_gin.c
as well.
catversion bump due to on-disk data format change in jsonb_ops indexes.
Move the functions around to group related functions together. Remove

Per discussion, the old value of 128MB is ridiculously small on modern
machines; in fact, it's not even any larger than the default value of
shared_buffers, which it certainly should be. Increase to 4GB, which
is unlikely to be any worse than the old default for anyone, and should
be noticeably better for most. Eventually we might have an autotuning
scheme for this setting, but the recent attempt crashed and burned,
so for now just do this.
This reverts commit ee1e5662d8, as well as
a remarkably large number of followup commits, which were mostly concerned
with the fact that the implementation didn't work terribly well. It still
doesn't: we probably need some rather basic work in the GUC infrastructure
if we want to fully support GUCs whose default varies depending on the
value of another GUC. Meanwhile, it also emerged that there wasn't really
consensus in favor of the definition the patch tried to implement (ie,
effective_cache_size should default to 4 times shared_buffers). So whack
it all back to where it was. In a followup commit, I'll do what was
recently agreed to, which is to simply change the default to a higher
value.
Commit 4318daecc9 broke it. The change in
sub-second precision at extreme dates is normal. The inconsistent
truncation vs. rounding is essentially a bug, albeit a longstanding one.
Back-patch to 8.4, like the causative commit.
Previous commit was confused about the case we're handling: actually,
what the patch is dealing with is platforms that have optreset, *and*
have <getopt.h>, but the latter fails to declare the former. Because
we use a linking probe to set HAVE_INT_OPTRESET, we need to be sure we
have a declaration even if <getopt.h> doesn't think it exists.
Reportedly, some versions of mingw are like that, and it seems plausible
in general that older platforms might be that way. However, we'd
determined experimentally that just doing "extern int" conflicts with
the way Cygwin declares these variables, so explicitly exclude Cygwin.

To-be-deleted list pages contain no useful information, as they are being
deleted, but we must still protect the writes from being torn by a crash
after a partial write. To do that, re-initialize the pages on WAL replay.
Jeff Janes caught this with a test program to test partial writes.
Backpatch to all supported versions.
If the server sends a long stream of data, and the server + network are
consistently fast enough to force the recv() loop in pqReadData() to
iterate until libpq's input buffer is full, then upon processing the last
incomplete message in each bufferload we'd usually double the buffer size,
due to supposing that we didn't have enough room in the buffer to finish
collecting that message. After filling the newly-enlarged buffer, the
cycle repeats, eventually resulting in an out-of-memory situation (which
would be reported misleadingly as "lost synchronization with server").
Of course, we should not enlarge the buffer unless we still need room
after discarding already-processed messages.
This bug dates back quite a long time: pqParseInput3 has had the behavior
since perhaps 2003, getCopyDataMessage at least since commit 70066eb1a1
in 2008. Probably the reason it's not been isolated before is that in
common environments the recv() loop would always be faster than the server
(if on the same machine) or faster than the network (if not); or at least
it wouldn't be slower consistently enough to let the buffer ramp up to a
problematic size. The reported cases involve Windows, which perhaps has
different timing behavior than other platforms.
Per bug #7914 from Shin-ichi Morita, though this is different from his
proposed solution. Back-patch to all supported branches.
Just as we would start bgworkers immediately after an initial startup

The main target of this cleanup is the convertJsonb() function, but I also
touched a lot of other things that I spotted into in the process.
The new convertToJsonb() function uses an output buffer that's resized on
demand, so the code to estimate of the size of JsonbValue is removed.
The on-disk format was not changed, even though I refactored the structs
used to handle it. The term "superheader" is replaced with "container".
The jsonb_exists_any and jsonb_exists_all functions no longer sort the input
array. That was a premature optimization, the idea being that if there are
duplicates in the input array, you only need to check them once. Also,
sorting the array saves some effort in the binary search used to find a key
within an object. But there were drawbacks too: the sorting and
deduplicating obviously isn't free, and in the typical case there are no
duplicates to remove, and the gain in the binary search was minimal. Remove
all that, which makes the code simpler too.
This includes a bug-fix; the total length of the elements in a jsonb array
or object mustn't exceed 2^28. That is now checked.
Since the postmaster won't perform a crash-and-restart sequence
for background workers which don't request shared memory access,
we'd better make sure that they can't corrupt shared memory.
Patch by me, review by Tom Lane.
ActiveSnapshot needs to be set when we call ExecutorRewind because some
plan node types may execute user-defined functions during their ReScan
calls (nodeLimit.c does so, at least). The wisdom of that is somewhat
debatable, perhaps, but for now the simplest fix is to make sure the
required context is valid. Failure to do this typically led to a
null-pointer-dereference core dump, though it's possible that in more
complex cases a function could be executed with the wrong snapshot
leading to very subtle misbehavior.
Per report from Leif Jensen. It's been broken for a long time, so
back-patch to all active branches.
The motivation for a crash and restart cycle when a backend dies is
that it might have corrupted shared memory on the way down; and we
can't recover reliably except by reinitializing everything. But that
doesn't apply to processes that don't touch shared memory. Currently,
there's nothing to prevent a background worker that doesn't request
shared memory access from touching shared memory anyway, but that's a
separate bug.
Previous to this commit, the coding in postmaster.c was inconsistent:
an exit status other than 0 or 1 didn't provoke a crash-and-restart,
but failure to release the postmaster child slot did. This change
makes those cases consistent.
Commit 4318daecc9 introduced a test that
couldn't be made consistent between integer and floating-point
timestamps.
It was designed to test the longest possible interval output length,
so removing four zeros from the number of hours, as this patch does,
is not ideal. But the test still has some utility for its original
purpose, and there aren't a lot of other good options.
Noah Misch suggested a different approach where we test that the
output either matches what we expect from integer timestamps or what
we expect from floating-point timestamps. That seemed to obscure an
otherwise simple test, however.

Commit fad153ec45 modified sinval.c to reduce
the number of calls into sinvaladt.c (which require taking a shared lock)

However, if processing of the last message in a batch resulted in a
recursive call to ReceiveSharedInvalidMessages, we could overwrite that
message with a new one while the outer invalidation function was still

The fix is just to make a local copy of each message while we're processing
it.

It's easy to forget using SYSTEMQUOTEs when constructing command strings
for system() or popen(). Even if we fix all the places missing it now, it is
bound to be forgotten again in the future. Introduce wrapper functions that
do the the extra quoting for you, and get rid of SYSTEMQUOTEs in all the
callers.
We previosly used SYSTEMQUOTEs in all the hard-coded command strings, and
this doesn't change the behavior of those. But user-supplied commands, like
archive_command, restore_command, COPY TO/FROM PROGRAM calls, as well as
pgbench's \shell, will now gain an extra pair of quotes. That is desirable,
but if you have existing scripts or config files that include an extra
pair of quotes, those might need to be adjusted.

ruleutils.c tries to cope with additions/deletions/renamings of columns in
tables referenced by views, by means of adding machine-generated aliases to
the printed form of a view when needed to preserve the original semantics.
A recent blog post by Marko Tiikkaja pointed out a case I'd missed though:
if one input of a join with USING is itself a join, there is nothing to
stop the user from adding a column of the same name as the USING column to
whichever side of the sub-join didn't provide the USING column. And then
there'll be an error when the view is re-parsed, since now the sub-join
exposes two columns matching the USING specification. We were catching a
lot of related cases, but not this one, so add some logic to cope with it.
Back-patch to 9.3, which is the first release that makes any serious
attempt to cope with such cases (cf commit 2ffa740be and follow-ons).
If we have an array of records stored on disk, the individual record fields
cannot contain out-of-line TOAST pointers: the tuptoaster.c mechanisms are
only prepared to deal with TOAST pointers appearing in top-level fields of
a stored row. The same applies for ranges over composite types, nested
composites, etc. However, the existing code only took care of expanding
sub-field TOAST pointers for the case of nested composites, not for other
structured types containing composites. For example, given a command such
as
UPDATE tab SET arraycol = ARRAY[(ROW(x,42)::mycompositetype] ...
where x is a direct reference to a field of an on-disk tuple, if that field
is long enough to be toasted out-of-line then the TOAST pointer would be
inserted as-is into the array column. If the source record for x is later
deleted, the array field value would become a dangling pointer, leading
to errors along the line of "missing chunk number 0 for toast value ..."
when the value is referenced. A reproducible test case for this was
provided by Jan Pecek, but it seems likely that some of the "missing chunk
number" reports we've heard in the past were caused by similar issues.
Code-wise, the problem is that PG_DETOAST_DATUM() is not adequate to
produce a self-contained Datum value if the Datum is of composite type.
Seen in this light, the problem is not just confined to arrays and ranges,
but could also affect some other places where detoasting is done in that
way, for example form_index_tuple().
I tried teaching the array code to apply toast_flatten_tuple_attribute()
along with PG_DETOAST_DATUM() when the array element type is composite,
but this was messy and imposed extra cache lookup costs whether or not any
TOAST pointers were present, indeed sometimes when the array element type
isn't even composite (since sometimes it takes a typcache lookup to find
that out). The idea of extending that approach to all the places that
currently use PG_DETOAST_DATUM() wasn't attractive at all.
This patch instead solves the problem by decreeing that composite Datum
values must not contain any out-of-line TOAST pointers in the first place;
that is, we expand out-of-line fields at the point of constructing a
composite Datum, not at the point where we're about to insert it into a
larger tuple. This rule is applied only to true composite Datums, not
to tuples that are being passed around the system as tuples, so it's not
as invasive as it might sound at first. With this approach, the amount
of code that has to be touched for a full solution is greatly reduced,
and added cache lookup costs are avoided except when there actually is
a TOAST pointer that needs to be inlined.
The main drawback of this approach is that we might sometimes dereference
a TOAST pointer that will never actually be used by the query, imposing a
rather large cost that wasn't there before. On the other side of the coin,
if the field value is used multiple times then we'll come out ahead by
avoiding repeat detoastings. Experimentation suggests that common SQL
coding patterns are unaffected either way, though. Applications that are
very negatively affected could be advised to modify their code to not fetch
columns they won't be using.
In future, we might consider reverting this solution in favor of detoasting
only at the point where data is about to be stored to disk, using some
method that can drill down into multiple levels of nested structured types.
That will require defining new APIs for structured types, though, so it
doesn't seem feasible as a back-patchable fix.
Note that this patch changes HeapTupleGetDatum() from a macro to a function
call; this means that any third-party code using that macro will not get
protection against creating TOAST-pointer-containing Datums until it's
recompiled. The same applies to any uses of PG_RETURN_HEAPTUPLEHEADER().
It seems likely that this is not a big problem in practice: most of the
tuple-returning functions in core and contrib produce outputs that could
not possibly be toasted anyway, and the same probably holds for third-party
extensions.
This bug has existed since TOAST was invented, so back-patch to all
supported branches.

Report by Petr Jelinek. Patch by me.
Commit a730183926 created rather a mess by
putting dependencies on backend-only include files into include/common.
We really shouldn't do that. To clean it up:
* Move TABLESPACE_VERSION_DIRECTORY back to its longtime home in
catalog/catalog.h. We won't consider this symbol part of the FE/BE API.
* Push enum ForkNumber from relfilenode.h into relpath.h. We'll consider
relpath.h as the source of truth for fork numbers, since relpath.c was
already partially serving that function, and anyway relfilenode.h was
kind of a random place for that enum.
* So, relfilenode.h now includes relpath.h rather than vice-versa. This
direction of dependency is fine. (That allows most, but not quite all,
of the existing explicit #includes of relpath.h to go away again.)
* Push forkname_to_number from catalog.c to relpath.c, just to centralize
fork number stuff a bit better.
* Push GetDatabasePath from catalog.c to relpath.c; it was rather odd
that the previous commit didn't keep this together with relpath().
* To avoid needing relfilenode.h in common/, redefine the underlying
function (now called GetRelationPath) as taking separate OID arguments,
and make the APIs using RelFileNode or RelFileNodeBackend into macro
wrappers. (The macros have a potential multiple-eval risk, but none of
the existing call sites have an issue with that; one of them had such a
risk already anyway.)
* Fix failure to follow the directions when "init" fork type was added;
specifically, the errhint in forkname_to_number wasn't updated, and neither
was the SGML documentation for pg_relation_size().
* Fix tablespace-path-too-long check in CreateTableSpace() to account for
fork-name component of maximum-length pathnames. This requires putting
FORKNAMECHARS into a header file, but it was rather useless (and
actually unreferenced) where it was.
The last couple of items are potentially back-patchable bug fixes,
if anyone is sufficiently excited about them; but personally I'm not.

Since ruleutils.c recurses, it could be driven to stack overflow by

Stick appropriate tests into a couple of key places.
Noted by Greg Stark. Back-patch to all supported branches.
A query such as "SELECT x UNION SELECT y UNION SELECT z UNION ..."
produces a left-deep nested parse tree, which we formerly showed in its
full nested glory and with all the possible parentheses. This does little
for readability, though, and long UNION lists resulting in excessive
indentation are common. Instead, let's omit parentheses and indent all
the subqueries at the same level in such cases.
This patch skips indentation/parenthesization whenever the lefthand input
of a SetOperationStmt is another SetOperationStmt of the same kind and
ALL/DISTINCT property. We could teach the code the exact syntactic
precedence of set operations and thereby avoid parenthesization in some
more cases, but it's not clear that that'd be a readability win: it seems
better to parenthesize if the set operation changes. (As an example,
if there's one UNION in a long list of UNION ALL, it now stands out like
a sore thumb, which seems like a good thing.)
Back-patch to 9.3. This completes our response to a complaint from Greg
Stark that since commit 62e666400d there's a performance problem in pg_dump
for views containing long UNION sequences (or other types of deeply nested
constructs). The previous commit 0601cb54da
handles the general problem, but this one makes the specific case of UNION
lists look a lot nicer.
Continuing to indent no matter how deeply nested we get doesn't really
do anything for readability; what's worse, it results in O(N^2) total
whitespace, which can become a performance and memory-consumption issue.
To address this, once we get past 40 characters of indentation, reduce
the indentation step distance 4x, and also limit the maximum indentation
by reducing it modulo 40. This latter choice is a bit weird at first
glance, but it seems to preserve readability better than a simple cap
would do.
Back-patch to 9.3, because since commit 62e666400d the performance issue
is a hazard for pg_dump.
Greg Stark and Tom Lane
The code attempted to outdent JOIN clauses further left than the parent
FROM keyword, which was odd in any case, and led to inconsistent formatting
since in simple cases the clauses couldn't be moved any further left than
that. And it left a permanent decrement of the indentation level, causing
subsequent lines to be much further left than they should be (again, this
couldn't be seen in simple cases for lack of indentation to give up).
After a little experimentation I chose to make it indent JOIN keywords
two spaces from the parent FROM, which is one space more than the join's
lefthand input in cases where that appears on a different line from FROM.
Back-patch to 9.3. This is a purely cosmetic change, and the bug is quite
old, so that may seem arbitrary; but we are going to be making some other
changes to the indentation behavior in both HEAD and 9.3, so it seems
reasonable to include this in 9.3 too. I committed this one first because
its effects are more visible in the regression test results as they
currently stand than they will be later.

In general we can't discard constant-NULL inputs, since they could change
the result of the AND/OR to be NULL. But at top level of WHERE, we do not
need to distinguish a NULL result from a FALSE result, so it's okay to
treat NULL as FALSE and then simplify AND/OR accordingly.
This is a very ancient oversight, but in 9.2 and later it can lead to
failure to optimize queries that previous releases did optimize, as a
result of more aggressive parameter substitution rules making it possible
to reduce more subexpressions to NULL constants. This is the root cause of
bug #10171 from Arnold Scheffler. We could alternatively have fixed that
by teaching orclauses.c to ignore constant-NULL OR arms, but it seems
better to get rid of them globally.
I resisted the temptation to back-patch this change into all active
branches, but it seems appropriate to back-patch as far as 9.2 so that
there will not be performance regressions of the kind shown in this bug.

In writeListPage, never take a full-page image of the page, because we

always 0. In stable-branches, keep the code to restore the backup blocks
if they exist, in case that the WAL is generated with an older minor
version, but in master Assert that there are no full-page images.
In the redo routine, add missing "off++". Otherwise the tuples are added
to the page in reverse order. That happens to be harmless because we
always scan and remove all the tuples together, but it was clearly wrong.

pg_controldata includes postgres.h not postgres_fe.h, so utils/palloc.h
must be able to compile in a "#define FRONTEND" context. It appears that
Solaris Studio is smart enough to persuade us to define PG_USE_INLINE,
but not smart enough to not make a copy of unreferenced static functions;
which leads to an unsatisfied reference to CurrentMemoryContext. So we
need an #ifndef FRONTEND around that declaration. Per buildfarm.
As noted some time ago, the original coding had a typo ("|" for "^")
that made the result less unique than intended. Even the intended
behavior is obsolete since it was based on wanting to produce a
usable value even if we didn't have int64 arithmetic --- a limitation
we stopped supporting years ago. Instead, let's redefine the system
identifier as tv_sec in the upper 32 bits (same as before), tv_usec
in the next 20 bits, and the low 12 bits of getpid() in the remaining
bits. This is still hardly guaranteed-universally-unique, but it's
noticeably better than before. Per my proposal at
<29019.1374535940@sss.pgh.pa.us>
This breaks the principle that common/ ought not depend on anything in the
server, not only code-wise but in the headers. The only arguable advantage
is avoidance of duplication of half a dozen extern declarations, and even
that is rather dubious, considering that the previous coding was wrong
about which declarations to duplicate: it exposed pnstrdup() to frontend
code even though no such function is provided in fe_memutils.c.
On the same principle, don't #include utils/memutils.h in the frontend
build of psprintf.c. This requires duplicating the definition of
MaxAllocSize, but that seems fine to me: there's no a-priori reason why
frontend code should use the same size limit as the backend anyway.
In passing, clean up some rather odd layout and ordering choices that
were imposed on palloc.h to reduce the number of #ifdefs required by
the previous approach.
Per gripe from Christoph Berg. There's still more work to do to make
include/common/ clean, but this part seems reasonably noncontroversial.
We should use exprTypmod() to extract the typmod of the expression,

If a tuple is locked, and this lock is later upgraded either to an
update or to a stronger lock, and in the meantime some other process
tries to lock, update or delete the same tuple, it (the tuple) could end
up being updated twice, or having conflicting locks held.
The reason for this is that the second updater checks for a change in
Xmax value, or in the HEAP_XMAX_IS_MULTI infomask bit, after noticing
the first lock; and if there's a change, it restarts and re-evaluates
its ability to update the tuple. But it neglected to check for changes
in lock strength or in lock-vs-update status when those two properties
stayed the same. This would lead it to take the wrong decision and
continue with its own update, when in reality it shouldn't do so but
instead restart from the top.
This could lead to either an assertion failure much later (when a
multixact containing multiple updates is detected), or duplicate copies
of tuples.
To fix, make sure to compare the other relevant infomask bits alongside
the Xmax value and HEAP_XMAX_IS_MULTI bit, and restart from the top if
necessary.
Also, in the belt-and-suspenders spirit, add a check to
MultiXactCreateFromMembers that a multixact being created does not have
two or more members that are claimed to be updates. This should protect
against other bugs that might cause similar bogus situations.
Backpatch to 9.3, where the possibility of multixacts containing updates
was introduced. (In prior versions it was possible to have the tuple
lock upgraded from shared to exclusive, and an update would not restart
from the top; yet we're protected against a bug there because there's
always a sleep to wait for the locking transaction to complete before
continuing to do anything. Really, the fact that tuple locks always
conflicted with concurrent updates is what protected against bugs here.)

Before 9.4, such an aggregate couldn't be declared, because its final
function would have to have polymorphic result type but no polymorphic
argument, which CREATE FUNCTION would quite properly reject. The
ordered-set-aggregate patch found a workaround: allow the final function
to be declared as accepting additional dummy arguments that have types
matching the aggregate's regular input arguments. However, we failed
to notice that this problem applies just as much to regular aggregates,
despite the fact that we had a built-in regular aggregate array_agg()
that was known to be undeclarable in SQL because its final function
had an illegal signature. So what we should have done, and what this
patch does, is to decouple the extra-dummy-arguments behavior from
ordered-set aggregates and make it generally available for all aggregate
declarations. We have to put this into 9.4 rather than waiting till
later because it slightly alters the rules for declaring ordered-set
aggregates.
The patch turned out a bit bigger than I'd hoped because it proved
necessary to record the extra-arguments option in a new pg_aggregate
column. I'd thought we could just look at the final function's pronargs
at runtime, but that didn't work well for variadic final functions.
It's probably just as well though, because it simplifies life for pg_dump
to record the option explicitly.
While at it, fix array_agg() to have a valid final-function signature,
and add an opr_sanity test to notice future deviations from polymorphic
consistency. I also marked the percentile_cont() aggregates as not
needing extra arguments, since they don't.
When marking a branch as half-dead, a pointer to the top of the branch is
stored in the leaf block's hi-key. During normal operation, the high key
was left in place, and the block number was just stored in the ctid field
of the high key tuple, but in WAL replay, the high key was recreated as a
truncated tuple with zero columns. For the sake of easier debugging, also
truncate the tuple in normal operation, so that the page is identical
after WAL replay. Also, rename the 'downlink' field in the WAL record to
'topparent', as that seems like a more descriptive name. And make sure
it's set to invalid when unlinking the leaf page.
Some ancient comments claimed that fn_nargs could be -1 to indicate a
variable number of input arguments; but this was never implemented, and
is at variance with what we ultimately did with "variadic" functions.
Update the comments.
Forgot to update LSN of left sibling's page, when creating a new root.
I fixed this for regular insertions and page splits earlier, but missed
new root creation.
The README incorrectly claimed that GIN posting tree pages contain an array
of uncompressed items in addition to compressed posting lists. Earlier
versions of the GIN posting list compression patch worked that way, but not
the one that was committed.
Don't use simple_heap_insert to insert the tuple to a sequence relation.
simple_heap_insert creates a heap insertion WAL record, and replaying that
will create a regular heap page without the special area containing the
sequence magic constant, which is wrong for a sequence. That was not a bug
because we always created a sequence WAL record after that, and replaying
that overwrote the bogus heap page, and the transient state could never be
seen by another backend because it was only done when creating a new
sequence relation. But it's simpler and cleaner to avoid that in the first
place.
Previously, these functions treated "" optin values as defaults in some
ways, but not in others, like when comparing to .pgpass. Also, add
documentation to clarify that now "" and NULL use defaults, like
PQsetdbLogin() has always done.
BACKWARD INCOMPATIBILITY
Patch by Adrian Vondendriesch, docs by me
Report by Jeff Janes
Because of gcc -Wmissing-prototypes, all functions in dynamically
loadable modules must have a separate prototype declaration. This is
meant to detect global functions that are not declared in header files,
but in cases where the function is called via dfmgr, this is redundant.
Besides filling up space with boilerplate, this is a frequent source of
compiler warnings in extension modules.
We can fix that by creating the function prototype as part of the
PG_FUNCTION_INFO_V1 macro, which such modules have to use anyway. That
makes the code of modules cleaner, because there is one less place where
the entry points have to be listed, and creates an additional check that
functions have the right prototype.
Remove now redundant prototypes from contrib and other modules.
Introduced in 585bca39: msgid is not used in the Windows code path.
Also adjust comments a tad (mostly to keep pgindent from messing it up).

If we set the all-visible flag after writing WAL record, and XLogInsert
takes a full-page image of the page, the image would not include the flag.
We will then proceed to set the VM bit, which would then be set without the
corresponding all-visible flag on the heap page.
Found by comparing page images on master and standby, after writing/replaying
each WAL record. (There is still a discrepancy: the all-visible flag won't
be set after replaying the HEAP_CLEAN record, even though it is set in the
master. However, it will be set when replaying the HEAP2_VISIBLE record and
setting the VM bit, so the all-visible flag and VM bit are always consistent
on the standby, even though they are momentarily out-of-sync with master)
Backpatch to 9.3 where this code was introduced.
Now that EXPLAIN also outputs a "planning time" measurement, the use of
"total" here seems rather confusing: it sounds like it might include the
planning time which of course it doesn't. Majority opinion was that
"execution time" is a better label, so we'll call it that.
This should be noted as a backwards incompatibility for tools that examine
EXPLAIN ANALYZE output.
In passing, I failed to resist the temptation to do a little editing on the
materialized-view example affected by this change.
Previously, 'int' was used for socket values in libpq, but socket values
are unsigned on Windows. This is a style correction.

Now that we're pretty much feature-frozen, it's time to update the checks
on system catalog foreign-key references.
(It looks like we missed doing this altogether for 9.3. Sigh.)
This has probably been broken for quite a long time. Buildfarm member
currawong's current results suggest that it's been broken since 9.1, so
backpatch this to that branch.
This only supports Python 2 - I will handle Python 3 separately, but
this is a fairly simple fix.
According to the Single Unix Spec and assorted man pages, you're supposed
to use the constants named AF_xxx when setting ai_family for a getaddrinfo
call. In a few places we were using PF_xxx instead. Use of PF_xxx
appears to be an ancient BSD convention that was not adopted by later
standardization. On BSD and most later Unixen, it doesn't matter much
because those constants have equivalent values anyway; but nonetheless
this code is not per spec.
In the same vein, replace PF_INET by AF_INET in one socket() call, which
wasn't even consistent with the other socket() call in the same function
let alone the remainder of our code.
Per investigation of a Cygwin trouble report from Marco Atzeri. It's
probably a long shot that this will fix his issue, but it's wrong in
any case.
Bind attempts to an LDAP server should time out after two seconds,
allowing additional lines in the service control file to be parsed
(which provide a fall back to a secondary LDAP server or default options).
The existing code failed to enforce that timeout during TCP connect,
resulting in a hang far longer than two seconds if the LDAP server
does not respond.

These are natural complements to the functions added by commit
0886fc6a5c, but they weren't included
in the original patch for some reason. Add them.
Patch by me, per a complaint by Tom Lane. Review by Tatsuo
Ishii.
Apparently, Windows can sometimes return an error code even when the
operation actually worked just fine. Rearrange the order of checks
according to what appear to be the best practices in this area.

Previously, in some places, socket creation errors were checked for
negative values, which is not true for Windows because sockets are
unsigned. This masked socket creation errors on Windows.
Backpatch through 9.0. 8.4 doesn't have the infrastructure to fix this.
I mixed up BLCKSZ and XLOG_BLCKSZ when I changed the way the buffer is
allocated a couple of weeks ago. With the default settings, they are both
8k, but they can be changed at compile-time.
In psql \d+, display oids only when they exist, and display replication
identity only when it is non-default. Also document the defaults for
replication identity for system and non-system tables. Update
regression output.
Add vacuumdb option --analyze-in-stages which runs ANALYZE three times
with different configuration settings, adopting the logic from the
analyze_new_cluster.sh script that pg_upgrade generates. That way,
users of pg_dump/pg_restore can also use that functionality.
Change pg_upgrade to create the script so that it calls vacuumdb instead
of implementing the logic itself.
By default, lcov will call whatever gcov it can find in the path. But
if the user has specified a different gcov to configure, this could be
incompatible. So tell lcov explicitly with an option which gcov program
to call.
This allows squeezing out the unused space in full-page writes. And more
importantly, it can be a useful debugging aid.
In hindsight we should've done this back when GIN was added - we wouldn't
need the 'maxoff' field in the page opaque struct if we had used pd_lower
and pd_upper like on normal pages. But as long as there can be pages in the
index that have been binary-upgraded from pre-9.4 versions, we can't rely
on that, and have to continue using 'maxoff'.
Most of the code churn comes from renaming some macros, now that they're
used on internal pages, too.
This change is completely backwards-compatible, no effect on pg_upgrade.
Make sure we throw an error instead of silently doing the wrong thing when
fed a strategy number we don't recognize. Also, in the places that did
already throw an error, spell the error message in a way more consistent
with our message style guidelines.
Per report from Paul Jones. Although this is a bug, it won't occur unless
a superuser tries to do something he shouldn't, so it doesn't seem worth
back-patching.
The entry B-tree pages all follow the standard page layout. The 9.3 code has
this right. I inadvertently changed this at some point during the big
refactorings in git master.
Repositioning the tuplestore seek pointer in window_gettupleslot() turns
out to be a very significant expense when the window frame is sizable and
the frame end can move. To fix, introduce a tuplestore function for
skipping an arbitrary number of tuples in one call, parallel to the one we
introduced for tuplesort objects in commit 8d65da1f. This reduces the cost
of window_gettupleslot() to O(1) if the tuplestore has not spilled to disk.
As in the previous commit, I didn't try to do any real optimization of
tuplestore_skiptuples for the case where the tuplestore has spilled to
disk. There is probably no practical way to get the cost to less than O(N)
anyway, but perhaps someone can think of something later.
Also fix PersistHoldablePortal() to make use of this API now that we have
it.
Based on a suggestion by Dean Rasheed, though this turns out not to look
much like his patch.
