2017-08-14Final pgindent + perltidy run for v10.Tom Lane
2017-08-14Handle elog(FATAL) during ROLLBACK more robustly.Tom Lane
Stress testing by Andreas Seltenreich disclosed longstanding problems that occur if a FATAL exit (e.g. due to receipt of SIGTERM) occurs while we are trying to execute a ROLLBACK of an already-failed transaction. In such a case, xact.c is in TBLOCK_ABORT state, so that AbortOutOfAnyTransaction would skip AbortTransaction and go straight to CleanupTransaction. This led to an assert failure in an assert-enabled build (due to the ROLLBACK's portal still having a cleanup hook) or without assertions, to a FATAL exit complaining about "cannot drop active portal". The latter's not disastrous, perhaps, but it's messy enough to want to improve it. We don't really want to run all of AbortTransaction in this code path. The minimum required to clean up the open portal safely is to do AtAbort_Memory and AtAbort_Portals. It seems like a good idea to do AtAbort_Memory unconditionally, to be entirely sure that we are starting with a safe CurrentMemoryContext. That means that if the main loop in AbortOutOfAnyTransaction does nothing, we need an extra step at the bottom to restore CurrentMemoryContext = TopMemoryContext, which I chose to do by invoking AtCleanup_Memory. This'll result in calling AtCleanup_Memory twice in many of the paths through this function, but that seems harmless and reasonably inexpensive. The original motivation for the assertion in AtCleanup_Portals was that we wanted to be sure that any user-defined code executed as a consequence of the cleanup hook runs during AbortTransaction not CleanupTransaction. That still seems like a valid concern, and now that we've seen one case of the assertion firing --- which means that exactly that would have happened in a production build --- let's replace the Assert with a runtime check. If we see the cleanup hook still set, we'll emit a WARNING and just drop the hook unexecuted. This has been like this a long time, so back-patch to all supported branches.

2017-08-14Absorb -D_USE_32BIT_TIME_T switch from Perl, if relevant.Tom Lane
Commit 3c163a7fc's original choice to ignore all #define symbols whose names begin with underscore turns out to be too simplistic. On Windows, some Perl installations are built with -D_USE_32BIT_TIME_T, and we must absorb that or we get the wrong result for sizeof(PerlInterpreter). This effectively re-reverts commit ef58b87df, which injected that symbol in a hacky way, making it apply to all of Postgres not just PL/Perl. More significantly, it did so on *all* 32-bit Windows builds, even when the Perl build to be used did not select this option; so that it fails to work properly with some newer Perl builds. By making this change, we would be introducing an ABI break in 32-bit Windows builds; but fortunately we have not used type time_t in any exported Postgres APIs in a long time. So it should be OK, both for PL/Perl itself and for third-party extensions, if an extension library is built with a different _USE_32BIT_TIME_T setting than the core code. Patch by me, based on research by Ashutosh Sharma and Robert Haas. Back-patch to all supported branches, as commit 3c163a7fc was.

2017-08-14Changed ecpg parser to allow RETURNING clauses without attached C variables.Michael Meskes
2017-08-13Remove AtEOXact_CatCache().Tom Lane
The sole useful effect of this function, to check that no catcache entries have positive refcounts at transaction end, has really been obsolete since we introduced ResourceOwners in PG 8.1. We reduced the checks to assertions years ago, so that the function was a complete no-op in production builds. There have been previous discussions about removing it entirely, but consensus up to now was that it had some small value as a cross-check for bugs in the ResourceOwner logic. However, it now emerges that it's possible to trigger these assertions if you hit an assert-enabled backend with SIGTERM during a call to SearchCatCacheList, because that function temporarily increases the refcounts of entries it's intending to add to a catcache list construct. In a normal ERROR scenario, the extra refcounts are cleaned up by SearchCatCacheList's PG_CATCH block; but in a FATAL exit we do a transaction abort and exit without ever executing PG_CATCH handlers. There's a case to be made that this is a generic hazard and we should consider restructuring elog(FATAL) handling so that pending PG_CATCH handlers do get run. That's pretty scary though: it could easily create more problems than it solves. Preliminary stress testing by Andreas Seltenreich suggests that there are not many live problems of this ilk, so we rejected that idea. There are more-localized ways to fix the problem; the most principled one would be to use PG_ENSURE_ERROR_CLEANUP instead of plain PG_TRY. But adding cycles to SearchCatCacheList isn't very appealing. We could also weaken the assertions in AtEOXact_CatCache in some more or less ad-hoc way, but that just makes its raison d'etre even less compelling. In the end, the most reasonable solution seems to be to just remove AtEOXact_CatCache altogether, on the grounds that it's not worth trying to fix it. It hasn't found any bugs for us in many years. Per report from Jeevan Chalke. Back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAM2+6=VEE30YtRQCZX7_sCFsEpoUkFBV1gZazL70fqLn8rcvBA@mail.gmail.com

2017-08-11Remove pgbench's restriction on placement of -M switch.Tom Lane
Previously the -M switch had to appear before any switch that directly or indirectly specified a benchmarking script. This was both confusing and inadequately documented, as per gripe from Tatsuo Ishii. We can remove the restriction at the cost of making an extra pass over the lists of SQL commands, which seems like a cheap price (the string scans themselves likely cost much more). The change is just to not extract parameters from the SQL commands until we have finished parsing the switches and know the final value of -M. Per discussion, we'll treat this as a low-grade bug fix and sneak it into v10, rather than holding it for v11.

Various bugs can cause crashes, so don't use that function before ICU 53. It will fall back to the code path used for other encodings. Since we now tie the function availability to an ICU version, we don't need the configure test anymore.

2017-08-09Fix handling of container types in find_composite_type_dependencies.Tom Lane
find_composite_type_dependencies correctly found columns that are of the specified type, and columns that are of arrays of that type, but not columns that are domains or ranges over the given type, its array type, etc. The most general way to handle this seems to be to assume that any type that is directly dependent on the specified type can be treated as a container type, and processed recursively (allowing us to handle nested cases such as ranges over domains over arrays ...). Since a type's array type already has such a dependency, we can drop the existing special case for the array type. The very similar logic in get_rels_with_domain was likewise a few bricks shy of a load, as it supposed that a directly dependent type could *only* be a sub-domain. This is already wrong for ranges over domains, and it'll someday be wrong for arrays over domains. Add test cases illustrating the problems, and back-patch to all supported branches.

2017-08-08Fix datumSerialize infrastructure to not crash on non-varlena data.Tom Lane
Commit 1efc7e538 did a poor job of emulating existing logic for touching Datums that might be expanded-object pointers. It didn't check for typlen being -1 first, which meant it could crash on fixed-length pass-by-ref values, and probably on cstring values as well. It also didn't use DatumGetPointer before VARATT_IS_EXTERNAL_EXPANDED, which while currently harmless is not according to documentation nor prevailing style. I also think the lack of any explanation as to why datumSerialize makes these particular nonobvious choices is pretty awful, so fix that. Per report from Jarred Ward.

2017-08-08Fix yet another race condition in recovery/t/001_stream_rep.pl.Tom Lane
In commit 5c77690f6, we added polling in front of most of the get_slot_xmins calls in 001_stream_rep.pl, but today's results from buildfarm member nightjar show that at least one more poll loop is needed. Proactively add a poll loop before the next-to-last get_slot_xmins call as well. It may be that there is no race condition there because the standby_2 server is shut down at that point, but I'm quite tired of fighting with this test script. The empirical evidence that it's safe, from the buildfarm, is no stronger than the evidence for the other call that nightjar just proved unsafe. The only remaining get_slot_xmins calls without wait_slot_xmins protection are the first two, which should be OK since nothing has happened at that point. It's tempting to ignore that special case and merge get_slot_xmins and wait_slot_xmins into a single function. I didn't go that far though.

2017-08-08Fix replication origin-related race conditionsAlvaro Herrera
Similar to what was fixed in commit 9915de6c1cb2 for replication slots, but this time it's related to replication origins: DROP SUBSCRIPTION attempts to drop the replication origin, but that fails if the replication worker process hasn't yet marked it unused. This causes failures in the buildfarm: ERROR: could not drop replication origin with OID 1, in use by PID 34069 Like the aforementioned commit, fix by having the process running DROP SUBSCRIPTION sleep until the worker marks the the replication origin struct as free. This uses a condition variable on each replication origin shmem state struct, so that the session trying to drop can sleep and expect to be awakened by the process keeping the origin open. Also fix a SGML markup in the previous commit. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20170808001433.rozlseaf4m2wkw3n@alvherre.pgsql
2017-08-08Fix inadequacies in recently added wait eventsAlvaro Herrera
In commit 9915de6c1cb2, we introduced a new wait point for replication slots and incorrectly labelled it as wait event PG_WAIT_LOCK. That's wrong, so invent an appropriate new wait event instead, and document it properly. While at it, fix numerous other problems in the vicinity: - two different walreceiver wait events were being mixed up in a single wait event (which wasn't documented either); split it out so that they can be distinguished, and document the new events properly. - ParallelBitmapPopulate was documented but didn't exist. - ParallelBitmapScan was not documented (I think this should be called "ParallelBitmapScanInit" instead.) - Logical replication wait events weren't documented - various symbols had been added in dartboard order in various places. Put them in alphabetical order instead, as was originally intended. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20170808181131.mu4fjepuh5m75cyq@alvherre.pgsql

2017-08-08Use sort_pathkeys instead of query_pathkeys in standard_plannerTomas Vondra
When adding the top-level remote subquery, the code used query_pathkeys, but that seems to be incorrect as those may be group_pathkeys, as set by standard_qp_callback(). Consider this query from xc_groupby tests: select count(*) from xc_groupby_def where a is not null group by a order by 1; planned like this QUERY PLAN ------------------------------------------------------------ Remote Subquery Scan on all Output: count(*), a Sort Key: xc_groupby_def.a -> Sort Output: (count(*)), a Sort Key: (count(*)) -> HashAggregate Output: count(*), a Group Key: xc_groupby_def.a -> Seq Scan on public.xc_groupby_def Output: a, b Filter: (xc_groupby_def.a IS NOT NULL) (12 rows) That's clearly incorrect, because the final sort key should be count(*) and not xc_groupby_def.a (which is, in fact the group key). For some reason this did not cause issues on XL 9.5, but apparently the upper-planner pathification changed the code in a way that affected the top-level remote subquery. To fix this, simply use sort_pathkeys instead of query_pathkeys. That fixes the plans, and also identifies a number of additional plans in regression tests that were in fact incorrect (but no one noticed). Several plans stopped producing results with stable ordering, so fix that by adding an explicit ORDER BY clause.
2017-08-08Fix txid test casePavan Deolasee

2017-08-07Don't allow logging in with empty password.Heikki Linnakangas
Some authentication methods allowed it, others did not. In the client-side, libpq does not even try to authenticate with an empty password, which makes using empty passwords hazardous: an administrator might think that an account with an empty password cannot be used to log in, because psql doesn't allow it, and not realize that a different client would in fact allow it. To clear that confusion and to be be consistent, disallow empty passwords in all authentication methods. All the authentication methods that used plaintext authentication over the wire, except for BSD authentication, already checked that the password received from the user was not empty. To avoid forgetting it in the future again, move the check to the recv_password_packet function. That only forbids using an empty password with plaintext authentication, however. MD5 and SCRAM need a different fix: * In stable branches, check that the MD5 hash stored for the user does not not correspond to an empty string. This adds some overhead to MD5 authentication, because the server needs to compute an extra MD5 hash, but it is not noticeable in practice. * In HEAD, modify CREATE and ALTER ROLE to clear the password if an empty string, or a password hash that corresponds to an empty string, is specified. The user-visible behavior is the same as in the stable branches, the user cannot log in, but it seems better to stop the empty password from entering the system in the first place. Secondly, it is fairly expensive to check that a SCRAM hash doesn't correspond to an empty string, because computing a SCRAM hash is much more expensive than an MD5 hash by design, so better avoid doing that on every authentication. We could clear the password on CREATE/ALTER ROLE also in stable branches, but we would still need to check at authentication time, because even if we prevent empty passwords from being stored in pg_authid, there might be existing ones there already.
