      Avoid holding a directory FD open across pg_ls_dir_files() calls. · 085b6b66
      Tom Lane authored
      This coding technique is undesirable because (a) it leaks the FD for
      the rest of the transaction if the SRF is not run to completion, and
      (b) allocated FDs are a scarce resource, but multiple interleaved
      uses of the relevant functions could eat many such FDs.
      
      In v11 and later, a query such as "SELECT pg_ls_waldir() LIMIT 1"
      yields a warning about the leaked FD, and the only reason there's
      no warning in earlier branches is that fd.c didn't whine about such
      leaks before commit 9cb7db3f.  Even disregarding the warning, it
      wouldn't be too hard to run a backend out of FDs with careless use
      of these SQL functions.
      
      Hence, rewrite the function so that it reads the directory within
      a single call, returning the results as a tuplestore rather than
      via value-per-call mode.
      
      There are half a dozen other built-in SRFs with similar problems,
      but let's fix this one to start with, just to see if the buildfarm
      finds anything wrong with the code.
      
      In passing, fix bogus error report for stat() failure: it was
      whining about the directory when it should be fingering the
      individual file.  Doubtless a copy-and-paste error.
      
      Back-patch to v10 where this function was added.

      Refactor ps_status.c API · bf68b79e
      Peter Eisentraut authored
      The init_ps_display() arguments were mostly lies by now, so to match
      typical usage, just use one argument and let the caller assemble it
      from multiple sources if necessary.  The only user of the additional
      arguments is BackendInitialize(), which was already doing string
      assembly on the caller side anyway.
      
      Remove the second argument of set_ps_display() ("force") and just
      handle that in init_ps_display() internally.
      
      BackendInitialize() also used to set the initial status as
      "authentication", but that was very far from where authentication
      actually happened.  So now it's set to "initializing" and then
      "authentication" just before the actual call to
      ClientAuthentication().

      Avoid duplicates in ALTER ... DEPENDS ON EXTENSION · 899a04f5
      Alvaro Herrera authored
      If the command is attempted for an extension that the object already
      depends on, silently do nothing.
      
      In particular, this means that if a database containing multiple such
      entries is dumped, the restore will silently do the right thing and
      record just the first one.  (At least, in a world where pg_dump does
      dump such entries -- which it doesn't currently, but it will.)
      
      Backpatch to 9.6, where this kind of dependency was introduced.

      nbtree: Move fastpath NULL descent stack assertion. · 39eabec9
      Peter Geoghegan authored
      Commit 074251db added an assertion that verified the fastpath/rightmost
      page insert optimization's assumption about free space: There should
      always be enough free space on the page to insert the new item without
      splitting the page.  Otherwise, we end up using the "concurrent root
      page split" phony/fake stack path in _bt_insert_parent().  This does not
      lead to incorrect behavior, but it is likely to be far slower than
      simply using the regular _bt_search() path.  The assertion catches
      serious performance bugs that would probably take a long time to detect
      any other way.
      
      It seems much more natural to make this assertion just before the point
      that we generate a fake/phony descent stack.  Move the assert there.
      This also makes _bt_insertonpg() a bit more readable.

      Fix pg_dump/pg_restore to restore event triggers later. · 8728b2c7
      Tom Lane authored
      Previously, event triggers were restored just after regular triggers
      (and FK constraints, which are basically triggers).  This is risky
      since an event trigger, once installed, could interfere with subsequent
      restore commands.  Worse, because event triggers don't have any
      particular dependencies on any post-data objects, a parallel restore
      would consider them eligible to be restored the moment the post-data
      phase starts, allowing them to also interfere with restoration of a
      whole bunch of objects that would have been restored before them in
      a serial restore.  There's no way to completely remove the risk of a
      misguided event trigger breaking the restore, since if nothing else
      it could break other event triggers.  But we can certainly push them
      to later in the process to minimize the hazard.
      
      To fix, tweak the RestorePass mechanism introduced by commit 3eb9a5e7
      so that event triggers are handled as part of the post-ACL processing
      pass (renaming the "REFRESH" pass to "POST_ACL" to reflect its more
      general use).  This will cause them to restore after everything except
      matview refreshes, which seems OK since matview refreshes really ought
      to run in the post-restore state of the database.  In a parallel
      restore, event triggers and matview refreshes might be intermixed,
      but that seems all right as well.
      
      Also update the code and comments in pg_dump_sort.c so that its idea
      of how things are sorted agrees with what actually happens due to
      the RestorePass mechanism.  This is mostly cosmetic: it'll affect the
      order of objects in a dump's TOC, but not the actual restore order.
      But not changing that would be quite confusing to somebody reading
      the code.

      Introduce LogicalTapeSetExtend(). · 24d85952
      Jeff Davis authored
      Increases the number of tapes in a logical tape set. This will be
      important for disk-based hash aggregation, because the maximum number
      of tapes is not known ahead of time.
      
      While discussing this change, it was observed to regress the
      performance of Sort for at least one test case. The performance
      regression was because some versions of GCC switch to an inlined
      version of memcpy() in LogicalTapeWrite() after this change. No
      performance regression for clang was observed.
      
      Because the regression is due to an arbitrary decision by the
      compiler, I decided it shouldn't hold up this change. If it needs to
      be fixed, we can find a workaround.

      Fix bug that causes to report waiting in PS display twice, in hot standby. · 17d3fcdc
      Fujii Masao authored
      Previously "waiting" could appear twice via PS in case of lock conflict
      in hot standby mode. Specifically this issue happend when the delay
      in WAL application determined by max_standby_archive_delay and
      max_standby_streaming_delay had passed but it took more than 500 msec
      to cancel all the conflicting transactions. Especially we can observe this
      easily by setting those delay parameters to -1.
      
      The cause of this issue was that WaitOnLock() and
      ResolveRecoveryConflictWithVirtualXIDs() added "waiting" to
      the process title in that case. This commit prevents
      ResolveRecoveryConflictWithVirtualXIDs() from reporting waiting
      in case of lock conflict, to fix the bug.

      Avoid assertion failure with targeted recovery in standby mode. · ef34ab42
      Fujii Masao authored
      At the end of recovery, standby mode is turned off to re-fetch the last
      valid record from archive or pg_wal. Previously, if recovery target was
      reached and standby mode was turned off while the current WAL source
      was stream, recovery could try to retrieve WAL file containing the last
      valid record unexpectedly from stream even though not in standby mode.
      This caused an assertion failure. That is, the assertion test confirms that
      WAL file should not be retrieved from stream if standby mode is not true.
      
      This commit moves back the current WAL source to archive if it's stream
      even though not in standby mode, to avoid that assertion failure.
      
      This issue doesn't cause the server to crash when built with assertion
      disabled. In this case, the attempt to retrieve WAL file from stream not
      in standby mode just fails. And then recovery tries to retrieve WAL file
      from archive or pg_wal.

      pageinspect: Fix types used for bt_metap() columns. · 691e8b2e
      Peter Geoghegan authored
      The data types that contrib/pageinspect's bt_metap() function were
      declared to return as OUT arguments were wrong in some cases.  For
      example, the oldest_xact column (a TransactionId/xid field) was declared
      integer/int4 within the pageinspect extension's sql file.  This led to
      errors when an oldest_xact value that exceeded 2^31-1 was encountered.
      Some of the other columns were defined incorrectly ever since
      pageinspect was first introduced, though they were far less likely to
      produce problems in practice.
      
      Fix these issues by changing the declaration of bt_metap() to
      consistently use data types that can reliably represent all possible
      values.  This fixes things on HEAD only.  No backpatch, since it doesn't
      seem like there is a safe way to fix the issue without including a new
      version of the pageinspect extension (HEAD/Postgres 13 already
      introduced a new version of the extension).  Besides, the oldest_xact
      issue has been around since the release of Postgres 11, and we haven't
      heard any complaints about it before now.
      
      Also, throw an error when we detect a bt_metap() declaration that must
      be from an old version of the pageinspect extension by examining the
      number of attributes from the tuple descriptor for the return tuples.
      It seems better to throw an error in a reliable and obvious way
      following a Postgres upgrade, rather than letting bt_metap() fail
      unpredictably.  The problem is fundamentally with the CREATE FUNCTION
      declared data types themselves, so I see no sensible alternative.

      Create contrib/bool_plperl to provide a bool transform for PL/Perl[U]. · 36058a3c
      Tom Lane authored
      plperl's default handling of bool arguments or results is not terribly
      satisfactory, since Perl doesn't consider the string 'f' to be false.
      Ideally we'd just fix that, but the backwards-compatibility hazard
      would be substantial.  Instead, build a TRANSFORM module that can
      be optionally applied to provide saner semantics.
      
      Perhaps usefully, this is also about the minimum possible skeletal
      example of a plperl transform module; so it might be a better starting
      point for user-written transform modules than hstore_plperl or
      jsonb_plperl.

      Allow Unicode escapes in any server encoding, not only UTF-8. · a6525588
      Tom Lane authored
      SQL includes provisions for numeric Unicode escapes in string
      literals and identifiers.  Previously we only accepted those
      if they represented ASCII characters or the server encoding
      was UTF-8, making the conversion to internal form trivial.
      This patch adjusts things so that we'll call the appropriate
      encoding conversion function in less-trivial cases, allowing
      the escape sequence to be accepted so long as it corresponds
      to some character available in the server encoding.
      
      This also applies to processing of Unicode escapes in JSONB.
      However, the old restriction still applies to client-side
      JSON processing, since that hasn't got access to the server's
      encoding conversion infrastructure.
      
      This patch includes some lexer infrastructure that simplifies
      throwing errors with error cursors pointing into the middle of
      a string (or other complex token).  For the moment I only used
      it for errors relating to Unicode escapes, but we might later
      expand the usage to some other cases.

      Allow ALTER TYPE to change some properties of a base type. · fe30e7eb
      Tom Lane authored
      Specifically, this patch allows ALTER TYPE to:
      * Change the default TOAST strategy for a toastable base type;
      * Promote a non-toastable type to toastable;
      * Add/remove binary I/O functions for a type;
      * Add/remove typmod I/O functions for a type;
      * Add/remove a custom ANALYZE statistics functions for a type.
      
      The first of these can be done by the type's owner; all the others
      require superuser privilege since misuse could cause problems.
      
      The main motivation for this patch is to allow extensions to
      upgrade the feature sets of their data types, so the set of
      alterable properties is biased towards that use-case.  However
      it's also true that changing some other properties would be
      a lot harder, as they get baked into physical storage and/or
      stored expressions that depend on the type.
      
      Along the way, refactor GenerateTypeDependencies() to make it easier
      to call, refactor DefineType's volatility checks so they can be shared
      by AlterType, and teach typcache.c that it might have to reload data
      from the type's pg_type row, a scenario it never handled before.
      Also rearrange alter_type.sgml a bit for clarity (put the
      composite-type operations together).
