2017-06-21Phase 3 of pgindent updates.Tom Lane
Don't move parenthesized lines to the left, even if that means they flow past the right margin. By default, BSD indent lines up statement continuation lines that are within parentheses so that they start just to the right of the preceding left parenthesis. However, traditionally, if that resulted in the continuation line extending to the right of the desired right margin, then indent would push it left just far enough to not overrun the margin, if it could do so without making the continuation line start to the left of the current statement indent. That makes for a weird mix of indentations unless one has been completely rigid about never violating the 80-column limit. This behavior has been pretty universally panned by Postgres developers. Hence, disable it with indent's new -lpl switch, so that parenthesized lines are always lined up with the preceding left paren. This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

2017-05-07Restore fullname[] contents before falling through in pg_open_tzfile().Tom Lane
Fix oversight in commit af2c5aa88: if the shortcut open() doesn't work, we need to reset fullname[] to be just the name of the toplevel tzdata directory before we fall through into the pre-existing code. This failed to be exposed in my (tgl's) testing because the fall-through path is actually never taken under normal circumstances.

2017-05-03Improve performance of timezone loading, especially pg_timezone_names view.Tom Lane
tzparse() would attempt to load the "posixrules" timezone database file on each call. That might seem like it would only be an issue when selecting a POSIX-style zone name rather than a zone defined in the timezone database, but it turns out that each zone definition file contains a POSIX-style zone string and tzload() will call tzparse() to parse that. Thus, when scanning the whole timezone file tree as we do in the pg_timezone_names view, "posixrules" was read repetitively for each zone definition file. Fix that by caching the file on first use within any given process. (We cache other zone definitions for the life of the process, so there seems little reason not to cache this one as well.) This probably won't help much in processes that never run pg_timezone_names, but even one additional SET of the timezone GUC would come out ahead. An even worse problem for pg_timezone_names is that pg_open_tzfile() has an inefficient way of identifying the canonical case of a zone name: it basically re-descends the directory tree to the zone file. That's not awful for an individual "SET timezone" operation, but it's pretty horrid when we're inspecting every zone in the database. And it's pointless too because we already know the canonical spelling, having just read it from the filesystem. Fix by teaching pg_open_tzfile() to avoid the directory search if it's not asked for the canonical name, and backfilling the proper result in pg_tzenumerate_next(). In combination these changes seem to make the pg_timezone_names view about 3x faster to read, for me. Since a scan of pg_timezone_names has up to now been one of the slowest queries in the regression tests, this should help some little bit for buildfarm cycle times. Back-patch to all supported branches, not so much because it's likely that users will care much about the view's performance as because tracking changes in the upstream IANA timezone code is really painful if we don't keep all the branches in sync.

2017-04-30Sync our copy of the timezone library with IANA release tzcode2017b.Tom Lane
zic no longer mishandles some transitions in January 2038 when it attempts to work around Qt bug 53071. This fixes a bug affecting Pacific/Tongatapu that was introduced in zic 2016e. localtime.c now contains a workaround, useful when loading a file generated by a buggy zic. There are assorted cosmetic changes as well, notably relocation of a bunch of #defines.

2016-03-28Sync tzload() and tzparse() APIs with IANA release tzcode2016c.Tom Lane
This brings us a bit closer to matching upstream, but since it affects files outside src/timezone/, we might choose not to back-patch it. Hence keep it separate from the main update patch.
2016-03-28Sync our copy of the timezone library with IANA release tzcode2016c.Tom Lane
We hadn't done this in about six years, which proves to have been a mistake because there's been a lot of code churn upstream, making the merge rather painful. But putting it off any further isn't going to lessen the pain, and there are at least two incompatible changes that we need to absorb before someone starts complaining that --with-system-tzdata doesn't work at all on their platform, or we get blindsided by a tzdata release that our out-of-date zic can't compile. Last week's "time zone abbreviation differs from POSIX standard" mess was a wake-up call in that regard. This is a sufficiently large patch that I'm afraid to back-patch it immediately, though the foregoing considerations imply that we probably should do so eventually. For the moment, just put it in HEAD so that it can get some testing. Maybe we can wait till the end of the 9.6 beta cycle before deeming it okay.

2014-07-22Reject out-of-range numeric timezone specifications.Tom Lane
In commit 631dc390f49909a5c8ebd6002cfb2bcee5415a9d, we started to handle simple numeric timezone offsets via the zic library instead of the old CTimeZone/HasCTZSet kluge. However, we overlooked the fact that the zic code will reject UTC offsets exceeding a week (which seems a bit arbitrary, but not because it's too tight ...). This led to possibly setting session_timezone to NULL, which results in crashes in most timezone-related operations as of 9.4, and crashes in a small number of places even before that. So check for NULL return from pg_tzset_offset() and report an appropriate error message. Per bug #11014 from Duncan Gillis. Back-patch to all supported branches, like the previous patch. (Unfortunately, as of today that no longer includes 8.4.)

2014-02-17Prevent potential overruns of fixed-size buffers.Tom Lane
Coverity identified a number of places in which it couldn't prove that a string being copied into a fixed-size buffer would fit. We believe that most, perhaps all of these are in fact safe, or are copying data that is coming from a trusted source so that any overrun is not really a security issue. Nonetheless it seems prudent to forestall any risk by using strlcpy() and similar functions. Fixes by Peter Eisentraut and Jozef Mlich based on Coverity reports. In addition, fix a potential null-pointer-dereference crash in contrib/chkpass. The crypt(3) function is defined to return NULL on failure, but chkpass.c didn't check for that before using the result. The main practical case in which this could be an issue is if libc is configured to refuse to execute unapproved hashing algorithms (e.g., "FIPS mode"). This ideally should've been a separate commit, but since it touches code adjacent to one of the buffer overrun changes, I included it in this commit to avoid last-minute merge issues. This issue was reported by Honza Horak. Security: CVE-2014-0065 for buffer overruns, CVE-2014-0066 for crypt()

2013-11-01Fix some odd behaviors when using a SQL-style simple GMT offset timezone.Tom Lane
Formerly, when using a SQL-spec timezone setting with a fixed GMT offset (called a "brute force" timezone in the code), the session_timezone variable was not updated to match the nominal timezone; rather, all code was expected to ignore session_timezone if HasCTZSet was true. This is of course obviously fragile, though a search of the code finds only timeofday() failing to honor the rule. A bigger problem was that DetermineTimeZoneOffset() supposed that if its pg_tz parameter was pointer-equal to session_timezone, then HasCTZSet should override the parameter. This would cause datetime input containing an explicit zone name to be treated as referencing the brute-force zone instead, if the zone name happened to match the session timezone that had prevailed before installing the brute-force zone setting (as reported in bug #8572). The same malady could affect AT TIME ZONE operators. To fix, set up session_timezone so that it matches the brute-force zone specification, which we can do using the POSIX timezone definition syntax "<abbrev>offset", and get rid of the bogus lookaside check in DetermineTimeZoneOffset(). Aside from fixing the erroneous behavior in datetime parsing and AT TIME ZONE, this will cause the timeofday() function to print its result in the user-requested time zone rather than some previously-set zone. It might also affect results in third-party extensions, if there are any that make use of session_timezone without considering HasCTZSet, but in all cases the new behavior should be saner than before. Back-patch to all supported branches.

2011-09-09Simplify handling of the timezone GUC by making initdb choose the default.Tom Lane
We were doing some amazingly complicated things in order to avoid running the very expensive identify_system_timezone() procedure during GUC initialization. But there is an obvious fix for that, which is to do it once during initdb and have initdb install the system-specific default into postgresql.conf, as it already does for most other GUC variables that need system-environment-dependent defaults. This means that the timezone (and log_timezone) settings no longer have any magic behavior in the server. Per discussion.

2011-05-11Split PGC_S_DEFAULT into two values, for true boot_val vs computed default.Tom Lane
Failure to distinguish these cases is the real cause behind the recent reports of Windows builds crashing on 'infinity'::timestamp, which was directly due to failure to establish a value of timezone_abbreviations in postmaster child processes. The postmaster had the desired value, but write_one_nondefault_variable() didn't transmit it to backends. To fix that, invent a new value PGC_S_DYNAMIC_DEFAULT, and be sure to use that or PGC_S_ENV_VAR (as appropriate) for "default" settings that are computed during initialization. (We need both because there's at least one variable that could receive a value from either source.) This commit also fixes ProcessConfigFile's failure to restore the correct default value for certain GUC variables if they are set in postgresql.conf and then removed/commented out of the file. We have to recompute and reinstall the value for any GUC variable that could have received a value from PGC_S_DYNAMIC_DEFAULT or PGC_S_ENV_VAR sources, and there were a number of oversights. (That whole thing is a crock that needs to be redesigned, but not today.) However, I intentionally didn't make it work "exactly right" for the cases of timezone and log_timezone. The exactly right behavior would involve running select_default_timezone, which we'd have to do independently in each postgres process, causing the whole database to become entirely unresponsive for as much as several seconds. That didn't seem like a good idea, especially since the variable's removal from postgresql.conf might be just an accidental edit. Instead the behavior is to adopt the previously active setting as if it were default. Note that this patch creates an ABI break for extensions that use any of the PGC_S_XXX constants; they'll need to be recompiled.

2011-04-07Revise the API for GUC variable assign hooks.Tom Lane
The previous functions of assign hooks are now split between check hooks and assign hooks, where the former can fail but the latter shouldn't. Aside from being conceptually clearer, this approach exposes the "canonicalized" form of the variable value to guc.c without having to do an actual assignment. And that lets us fix the problem recently noted by Bernd Helmle that the auto-tune patch for wal_buffers resulted in bogus log messages about "parameter "wal_buffers" cannot be changed without restarting the server". There may be some speed advantage too, because this design lets hook functions avoid re-parsing variable values when restoring a previous state after a rollback (they can store a pre-parsed representation of the value instead). This patch also resolves a longstanding annoyance about custom error messages from variable assign hooks: they should modify, not appear separately from, guc.c's own message about "invalid parameter value".

settings: avoid calling superuser() in contexts where it's not defined, don't leak the transient copies of GetConfigOption output, and avoid the whole exercise in postmaster child processes. I found that actually no current caller of GetConfigOption has any use for its internal check of GUC_SUPERUSER_ONLY. But rather than just remove that entirely, it seemed better to add a parameter indicating whether to enforce the check. Per report from Simon and subsequent testing.

2008-11-13Suppress leap-second-aware timezones in the output of pg_tzenumerate_next,Tom Lane
and thereby in the pg_timezone_names view. Although we allow such zones to be used in certain limited contexts like AT TIME ZONE, we don't allow them in SET TIME ZONE, and bug #4528 shows that they're more likely to confuse users than do anything useful. So hide 'em. (Note that we don't even generate these zones when installing our own timezone database. But they are likely to be present when using a system-provided database.)
2008-07-01Fix identify_system_timezone() so that it tests the behavior of the systemTom Lane
timezone setting in the current year and for 100 years back, rather than always examining years 1904-2004. The original coding would have problems distinguishing zones whose behavior diverged only after 2004; which is a situation we will surely face sometime, if it's not out there already. In passing, also prevent selection of the dummy "Factory" timezone, even if that's exactly what the system is using. Reporting time as GMT seems better than that.

2007-08-04Fix crash caused by log_timezone patch if we attempt to emit any elog messagesTom Lane
between the setting of log_line_prefix and the setting of log_timezone. We can't realistically set log_timezone any earlier than we do now, so the best behavior seems to be to use GMT zone if any timestamps are to be logged during early startup. Create a dummy zone variable with a minimal definition of GMT (in particular it will never know about leap seconds), so that we can set it up without reference to any external files.
2007-08-04Switch over to using the src/timezone functions for formatting timestampsTom Lane
displayed in the postmaster log. This avoids Windows-specific problems with localized time zone names that are in the wrong encoding, and generally seems like a good idea to forestall other potential platform-dependent issues. To preserve the existing behavior that all backends will log in the same time zone, create a new GUC variable log_timezone that can only be changed on a system-wide basis, and reference log-related calculations to that zone instead of the TimeZone variable. This fixes the issue reported by Hiroshi Saito that timestamps printed by xlog.c startup could be improperly localized on Windows. We still need a simpler patch for that problem in the back branches, however.
