Peter Eisentraut 8dc7c33812 Improve tablesync behavior with concurrent changes
When a table is removed from a subscription before the tablesync worker
could start, this would previously result in an error when reading
pg_subscription_rel.  Now we just ignore this.

Heikki Linnakangas 76b11e8a43 Give a better error message on invalid hostaddr option.
If you accidentally pass a host name in the hostaddr option, e.g.
hostaddr=localhost, you get an error like:

psql: could not translate host name "localhost" to address: Name or service not known

That's a bit confusing, because it implies that we tried to look up
"localhost" in DNS, but it failed. To make it more clear that we tried to
parse "localhost" as a numeric network address, change the message to:

psql: could not parse network address "localhost": Name or service not known

Andres Freund 2c48f5db64 Use standard interrupt handling in logical replication launcher.
Previously the exit handling was only able to exit from within the
main loop, and not from within the backend code it calls.  Fix that by
using the standard die() SIGTERM handler, and adding the necessary
CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() call.

This requires adding yet another process-type-specific branch to
ProcessInterrupts(), which hints that we probably should generalize
that handling.  But that's work for another day.

Andres Freund 5fd56b9f5b Again report a useful error message when walreceiver's connection closes.
Since 7c4f52409a (merged in v10), a shutdown master is reported as
  FATAL:  unexpected result after CommandComplete: server closed the connection unexpectedly
by walsender. It used to be
  LOG:  replication terminated by primary server
  FATAL:  could not send end-of-streaming message to primary: no COPY in progress
while the old message clearly is not perfect, it's definitely better
than what's reported now.

The change comes from the attempt to handle finished COPYs without
erroring out, needed for the new logical replication, which wasn't
needed before.

There's probably better ways to handle this, but for now just
explicitly check for a closed connection.

Tom Lane 5bab1985df Fix bit-rot in pg_upgrade's test.sh, and improve documentation.
Doing a cross-version upgrade test with test.sh evidently hasn't been
tested since circa 9.2, because the script lacked case branches for
old-version servers newer than 9.1.  Future-proof that a bit, and
clean up breakage induced by our recent drop of V0 function call
protocol (namely that oldstyle_length() isn't in the regression
suite anymore).

(This isn't enough to make the test work perfectly cleanly across
versions, but at least it finishes and provides dump files that
you can diff manually.  One issue I didn't touch is that we might
want to execute the "reindex_hash.sql" file in the new DB before
dumping it, so that the hash indexes don't vanish from the dump.)

Improve the TESTING doc file: put the tl;dr version at the top not
the bottom, and bring its explanation of how to run a cross-version
test up to speed, since the installcheck target isn't there and won't
be resurrected.  Improve the comment in the Makefile about why not.

In passing, teach .gitignore and "make clean" about a couple more
junk output files.

Heikki Linnakangas e3df8f8b93 Improve authentication error messages.
Most of the improvements were in the new SCRAM code:

* In SCRAM protocol violation messages, use errdetail to provide the
  details.

* If pg_backend_random() fails, throw an ERROR rather than just LOG. We
  shouldn't continue authentication if we can't generate a random nonce.

* Use ereport() rather than elog() for the "invalid SCRAM verifier"
  messages. They shouldn't happen, if everything works, but it's not
  inconceivable that someone would have invalid scram verifiers in
  pg_authid, e.g. if a broken client application was used to generate the
  verifier.

But this change applied to old code:

* Use ERROR rather than COMMERROR for protocol violation errors. There's
  no reason to not tell the client what they did wrong. The client might be
  confused already, so that it cannot read and display the error correctly,
  but let's at least try. In the "invalid password packet size" case, we
  used to actually continue with authentication anyway, but that is now a
  hard error.

Robert Haas ae9bfc5d65 postgres_fdw: Allow cancellation of transaction control commands.
Commit f039eaac71, later back-patched
with commit 1b812afb0e, allowed many of
the queries issued by postgres_fdw to fetch remote data to respond to
cancel interrupts in a timely fashion.  However, it didn't do anything
about the transaction control commands, which remained
noninterruptible.

Improve the situation by changing do_sql_command() to retrieve query
results using pgfdw_get_result(), which uses the asynchronous
interface to libpq so that it can check for interrupts every time
libpq returns control.  Since this might result in a situation
where we can no longer be sure that the remote transaction state
matches the local transaction state, add a facility to force all
levels of the local transaction to abort if we've lost track of
the remote state; without this, an apparently-successful commit of
the local transaction might fail to commit changes made on the
remote side.  Also, add a 60-second timeout for queries issue during
transaction abort; if that expires, give up and mark the state of
the connection as unknown.  Drop all such connections when we exit
the local transaction.  Together, these changes mean that if we're
aborting the local toplevel transaction anyway, we can just drop the
remote connection in lieu of waiting (possibly for a very long time)
for it to complete an abort.

This still leaves quite a bit of room for improvement.  PQcancel()
has no asynchronous interface, so if we get stuck sending the cancel
request we'll still hang.  Also, PQsetnonblocking() is not used, which
means we could block uninterruptibly when sending a query.  There
might be some other optimizations possible as well.  Nonetheless,
this allows us to escape a wait for an unresponsive remote server
quickly in many more cases than previously.

Robert Haas 15ce775faa Prevent BEFORE triggers from violating partitioning constraints.
Since tuple-routing implicitly checks the partitioning constraints
at least for the levels of the partitioning hierarchy it traverses,
there's normally no need to revalidate the partitioning constraint
after performing tuple routing.  However, if there's a BEFORE trigger
on the target partition, it could modify the tuple, causing the
partitioning constraint to be violated.  Catch that case.

Also, instead of checking the root table's partition constraint after
tuple-routing, check it beforehand.  Otherwise, the rules for when
the partitioning constraint gets checked get too complicated, because
you sometimes have to check part of the constraint but not all of it.
This effectively reverts commit 39162b2030
in favor of a different approach altogether.

Heikki Linnakangas e6c33d594a Clear auth context correctly when re-connecting after failed auth attempt.
If authentication over an SSL connection fails, with sslmode=prefer,
libpq will reconnect without SSL and retry. However, we did not clear
the variables related to GSS, SSPI, and SASL authentication state, when
reconnecting. Because of that, the second authentication attempt would
always fail with a "duplicate GSS/SASL authentication request" error.
pg_SSPI_startup did not check for duplicate authentication requests like
the corresponding GSS and SASL functions, so with SSPI, you would leak
some memory instead.

Another way this could manifest itself, on version 10, is if you list
multiple hostnames in the "host" parameter. If the first server requests
Kerberos or SCRAM authentication, but it fails, the attempts to connect to
the other servers will also fail with "duplicate authentication request"
errors.

To fix, move the clearing of authentication state from closePGconn to
pgDropConnection, so that it is cleared also when re-connecting.

Patch by Michael Paquier, with some kibitzing by me.

Backpatch down to 9.3. 9.2 has the same bug, but the code around closing
the connection is somewhat different, so that this patch doesn't apply.
To fix this in 9.2, I think we would need to back-port commit 210eb9b743
first, and then apply this patch. However, given that we only bumped into
this in our own testing, we haven't heard any reports from users about
this, and that 9.2 will be end-of-lifed in a couple of months anyway, it
doesn't seem worth the risk and trouble.

Heikki Linnakangas 3344582e6f Fix double-free bug in GSS authentication.
The logic to free the buffer after the gss_init_sec_context() call was
always a bit wonky. Because gss_init_sec_context() sets the GSS context
variable, conn->gctx, we would in fact always attempt to free the buffer.
That only works, because previously conn->ginbuf.value was initialized to
NULL, and free(NULL) is a no-op. Commit 61bf96cab0 refactored things so
that the GSS input token buffer is allocated locally in pg_GSS_continue,
and not held in the PGconn object. After that, the now-local ginbuf.value
variable isn't initialized when it's not used, so we pass a bogus pointer
to free().

To fix, only try to free the input buffer if we allocated it. That was the
intention, certainly after the refactoring, and probably even before that.
But because there's no live bug before the refactoring, I refrained from
backpatching this.

The bug was also independently reported by Graham Dutton, as bug #14690.

Andres Freund 9206ced1dc Clean up latch related code.
The larger part of this patch replaces usages of MyProc->procLatch
with MyLatch.  The latter works even early during backend startup,
where MyProc->procLatch doesn't yet.  While the affected code
shouldn't run in cases where it's not initialized, it might get copied
into places where it might.  Using MyLatch is simpler and a bit faster
to boot, so there's little point to stick with the previous coding.

While doing so I noticed some weaknesses around newly introduced uses
of latches that could lead to missed events, and an omitted
CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() call in worker_spi.

As all the actual bugs are in v10 code, there doesn't seem to be
sufficient reason to backpatch this.

Andres Freund 6e1dd2773e Unify SIGHUP handling between normal and walsender backends.
Because walsender and normal backends share the same main loop it's
problematic to have two different flag variables, set in signal
handlers, indicating a pending configuration reload.  Only certain
walsender commands reach code paths checking for the
variable (START_[LOGICAL_]REPLICATION, CREATE_REPLICATION_SLOT
... LOGICAL, notably not base backups).

This is a bug present since the introduction of walsender, but has
gotten worse in releases since then which allow walsender to do more.

A later patch, not slated for v10, will similarly unify SIGHUP
handling in other types of processes as well.

Andres Freund c6c3334364 Prevent possibility of panics during shutdown checkpoint.
When the checkpointer writes the shutdown checkpoint, it checks
afterwards whether any WAL has been written since it started and
throws a PANIC if so.  At that point, only walsenders are still
active, so one might think this could not happen, but walsenders can
also generate WAL, for instance in BASE_BACKUP and logical decoding
related commands (e.g. via hint bits).  So they can trigger this panic
if such a command is run while the shutdown checkpoint is being
written.

To fix this, divide the walsender shutdown into two phases.  First,
checkpointer, itself triggered by postmaster, sends a
PROCSIG_WALSND_INIT_STOPPING signal to all walsenders.  If the backend
is idle or runs an SQL query this causes the backend to shutdown, if
logical replication is in progress all existing WAL records are
processed followed by a shutdown.  Otherwise this causes the walsender
to switch to the "stopping" state. In this state, the walsender will
reject any further replication commands. The checkpointer begins the
shutdown checkpoint once all walsenders are confirmed as
stopping. When the shutdown checkpoint finishes, the postmaster sends
us SIGUSR2. This instructs walsender to send any outstanding WAL,
including the shutdown checkpoint record, wait for it to be replicated
to the standby, and then exit.

Declare the toc_nentry field as uint32 not Size.  Since shm_toc_lookup()

we do not assume that for fields wider than 32 bits.  Performance would
be impossibly bad for entry counts approaching 2^32 anyway, so there is
no need to try to preserve maximum width here.

This is probably an academic issue, because even if reading int64 isn't
atomic, the high order half would never change in practice.  Still, it's
a coding rule violation, so let's fix it.

have in many other functions, and throw an error on an unexpected
lookup failure.  Remove now-redundant Asserts that a rather random
subset of call sites had.

I doubt this will throw any light on buildfarm member lorikeet's
recent failures, because if an unnoticed lookup failure were involved,
you'd kind of expect a null-pointer-dereference crash rather than the
observed symptom.  But you never know ... and this is better coding
practice even if it never catches anything.

Tom Lane e7941a9766 Replace over-optimistic Assert in partitioning code with a runtime test.
get_partition_parent felt that it could simply Assert that systable_getnext
found a tuple.  This is unlike any other caller of that function, and it's
unsafe IMO --- in fact, the reason I noticed it was that the Assert failed.
(OK, I was working with known-inconsistent catalog contents, but I wasn't
expecting the DB to fall over quite that violently.  The behavior in a
non-assert-enabled build wouldn't be very nice, either.)  Fix it to do what
other callers do, namely an actual runtime-test-and-elog.

Also, standardize the wording of elog messages that are complaining about
unexpected failure of systable_getnext.  90% of them say "could not find
tuple for <object>", so make the remainder do likewise.  Many of the
holdouts were using the phrasing "cache lookup failed", which is outright
misleading since no catcache search is involved.

Tom Lane 9db7d47f90 #ifdef out assorted unused GEQO code.
I'd always assumed that backend/optimizer/geqo/'s remarkably poor
showing on code coverage metrics was because we weren't exercising
it much in the regression tests.  But it turns out that a good chunk
of the problem is that there's a bunch of code that is physically
unreachable (because the calls to it are #ifdef'd out in geqo_main.c)
but is being built anyway.  Making the called code have #if guards
similar to the calling code saves a couple of kilobytes of executable
size and should make the coverage numbers more reflective of reality.

It's arguable that we should just delete all the unused recombination
mechanisms altogether, but I didn't feel a need to go that far today.

Tom Lane 0d18852666 Disallow CREATE INDEX if table is already in use in current session.
If we allow this, whatever outer command has the table open will not know
about the new index and may fail to update it as needed, as shown in a
report from Laurenz Albe.  We already had such a prohibition in place for
ALTER TABLE, but the CREATE INDEX syntax missed the check.

Fixing it requires an API change for DefineIndex(), which conceivably
would break third-party extensions if we were to back-patch it.  Given
how long this problem has existed without being noticed, fixing it in
the back branches doesn't seem worth that risk.

Tom Lane f1175556a1 Add some missing backslash commands to psql's tab-completion knowledge.
\if and related commands were overlooked here, as were \dRp and \dRs
from the logical-replication patch, as was \?.

While here, reformat the list to put each new first command letter on
a separate line; perhaps that will limit the need to reflow the whole
list when we add more commands in future.

Tom Lane 512c7356b6 Fix <> and pattern-NOT-match estimators to handle nulls correctly.
These estimators returned 1 minus the corresponding equality/match
estimate, which is incorrect: we need to subtract off the fraction
of nulls in the column, since those are neither equal nor not equal
to the comparison value.  The error only becomes obvious if the
nullfrac is large, but it could be very bad in a mostly-nulls
column, as reported in bug #14676 from Marko Tiikkaja.

To fix the <> case, refactor eqsel() and neqsel() to call a common
support routine, which can be made to account for nullfrac correctly.
The pattern-match cases were already factored that way, and it was
simply an oversight that patternsel() wasn't subtracting off nullfrac.

neqjoinsel() has a similar problem, but since we're elsewhere discussing
changing its behavior entirely, I left it alone for now.

This is a very longstanding bug, but I'm hesitant to back-patch a fix for
it.  Given the lack of prior complaints, such cases must not come up often,
so it's probably not worth the risk of destabilizing plans in stable
branches.

Tom Lane 23886581b5 Fix old corner-case logic error in final_cost_nestloop().
When costing a nestloop with stop-at-first-inner-match semantics, and a
non-indexscan inner path, final_cost_nestloop() wants to charge the full
scan cost of the inner rel at least once, with additional scans charged
at inner_rescan_run_cost which might be less.  However the logic for
doing this effectively assumed that outer_matched_rows is at least 1.
If it's zero, which is not unlikely for a small outer rel, we ended up
charging inner_run_cost plus N times inner_rescan_run_cost, as much as
double the correct charge for an outer rel with only one row that
we're betting won't be matched.  (Unless the inner rel is materialized,
in which case it has very small inner_rescan_run_cost and the cost
is not so far off what it should have been.)

The upshot of this was that the planner had a tendency to select plans
that failed to make effective use of the stop-at-first-inner-match
semantics, and that might have Materialize nodes in them even when the
predicted number of executions of the Materialize subplan was only 1.
This was not so obvious before commit 9c7f5229a, because the case only
arose in connection with semi/anti joins where there's not freedom to
reverse the join order.  But with the addition of unique-inner joins,
it could result in some fairly bad planning choices, as reported by
Teodor Sigaev.  Indeed, some of the test cases added by that commit
have plans that look dubious on closer inspection, and are changed
by this patch.

Fix the logic to ensure that we don't charge for too many inner scans.
I chose to adjust it so that the full-freight scan cost is associated
with an unmatched outer row if possible, not a matched one, since that
seems like a better model of what would happen at runtime.

This is a longstanding bug, but given the lesser impact in back branches,
and the lack of field complaints, I won't risk a back-patch.
