      In initdb, ensure stdout/stderr buffering behavior is what we expect. · 2dc4f011
      Tom Lane authored
      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.

      Code review for recent changes in relcache.c. · b23b0f55
      Tom Lane authored
      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.

      Make initdb throw error for bad locale values. · 31a26323
      Tom Lane authored
      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.

      Initialize padding bytes in btree_gist varbit support. · 540ac7ce
      Heikki Linnakangas authored
      The code expands a varbit gist leaf key to a node key by copying the bit
      data twice in a varlen datum, as both the lower and upper key. The lower key
      was expanded to INTALIGN size, but the padding bytes were not initialized.
      That's a problem because when the lower/upper keys are compared, the padding
      bytes are used compared too, when the values are otherwise equal. That could
      lead to incorrect query results.
      
      REINDEX is advised for any btree_gist indexes on bit or bit varying data
      type, to fix any garbage padding bytes on disk.
      
      Per Valgrind, reported by Andres Freund. Backpatch to all supported
      versions.

      Be more wary in choice of timezone names to test make_timestamptz with. · 66b737cd
      Tom Lane authored
      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.

      Find postgresql.auto.conf in PGDATA even when postgresql.conf is elsewhere. · 195e81af
      Tom Lane authored
      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.

      Rename jsonb_hash_ops to jsonb_path_ops. · 12e611d4
      Tom Lane authored
      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.

      Fix broken allocation logic in recently-rewritten jsonb_util.c. · 3d8c2b49
      Tom Lane authored
      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.

      Get rid of bogus dependency on typcategory in to_json() and friends. · 0ca6bda8
      Tom Lane authored
      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.

      Fix JSONB_MAX_ELEMS and JSONB_MAX_PAIRS macros to use CB_MASK in the

      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.

      Improve key representation for GIN jsonb_ops, and fix existence-search bug. · 46dddf76
      Tom Lane authored
      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.
