We disallow row-level triggers with transition tables on child tables. Transition tables for triggers on the parent table contain only those columns present in the parent.

Buildfarm evidence shows that TCP_KEEPALIVE_THRESHOLD doesn't exist after all on Solaris < 11. This means we need to take positive action to prevent the TCP_KEEPALIVE code path from being taken on that platform. I've chosen to limit it with "&& defined(__darwin__)", since it's unclear that anyone else would follow Apple's precedent of spelling the symbol that way. Also, follow a suggestion from Michael Paquier of eliminating code duplication by defining a couple of intermediate symbols for the socket option. In passing, make some effort to reduce the number of translatable messages by replacing "setsockopt(foo) failed" with "setsockopt(%s) failed", etc, throughout the affected files. And update relevant documentation so that it doesn't claim to provide an exhaustive list of the possible socket option names. Like the previous commit (f0256c77), back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20170627163757.25161.528@wrigleys.postgresql.org

Commit 330b84d8 didn't contemplate the case where the public schema has been dropped and introduced a query which fails when there is no public schema into pg_dump (when used with -c). Adjust the query used by pg_dump to handle the case where the public schema doesn't exist and add tests to check that such a case no longer fails. Back-patch the specific fix to 9.6, as the prior commit was. Adding tests for this case involved adding support to the pg_dump TAP tests to work with multiple databases, which, while not a large change, is a bit much to back-patch, so that's only done in master.

Turns out that the socket option for this is named TCP_KEEPALIVE_THRESHOLD, at least according to the tcp(7P) man page for Solaris 11. (But since that text refers to "SunOS", it's likely pretty ancient.) It appears that the symbol TCP_KEEPALIVE does get defined on that platform, but it doesn't seem to represent a valid protocol-level socket option. This leads to bleats in the postmaster log, and no tcp_keepalives_idle functionality. Per bug #14720 from Andrey Lizenko, as well as an earlier report from Dhiraj Chawla that nobody had followed up on. The issue's been there since we added the TCP_KEEPALIVE code path in commit 5acd417c, so back-patch to all supported branches.

check_agg_arguments_walker threw an error upon seeing a SRF or window function, but that is too aggressive: if the function is within a sub-select then it's perfectly fine. I broke the SRF case in commit 0436f6bd by copying the logic for window functions ... but that was broken too, and had been since commit eaccfded. Repair both cases in HEAD, and the window function case back to 9.3. 9.2 gets this right.

By default, wal_retrieve_retry_interval is five seconds, which is far more than is needed in any of our TAP tests, leaving the test cases just twiddling their thumbs for significant stretches. Moreover, because it's so large, we get basically no testing of the retry-before- master-is-ready code path. Hence, make PostgresNode::init set up wal_retrieve_retry_interval = '500ms' as part of its customization of test clusters' postgresql.conf. This shaves quite a few seconds off the runtime of the recovery TAP tests. Back-patch into 9.6. We have wal_retrieve_retry_interval in 9.5, but the test infrastructure isn't there.

When a walreceiver dies, the startup process will notice that and send a PMSIGNAL_START_WALRECEIVER signal to the postmaster, asking for a new walreceiver to be launched. There's a race condition, which at least in HEAD is very easy to hit, whereby the postmaster might see that signal before it processes the SIGCHLD from the walreceiver process. In that situation, sigusr1_handler() just dropped the start request on the floor, reasoning that it must be redundant. Eventually, after 10 seconds (WALRCV_STARTUP_TIMEOUT), the startup process would make a fresh request --- but that's a long time if the connection could have been re-established almost immediately. Fix it by setting a state flag inside the postmaster that we won't clear until we do launch a walreceiver. In cases where that results in an extra walreceiver launch, it's up to the walreceiver to realize it's unwanted and go away --- but we have, and need, that logic anyway for the opposite race case. I came across this through investigating unexpected delays in the src/test/recovery TAP tests: it manifests there in test cases where a master server is stopped and restarted while leaving streaming slaves active. This logic has been broken all along, so back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/21344.1498494720@sss.pgh.pa.us

The stats collector disregards inquiry messages that bear a cutoff_time before when it last wrote the relevant stats file. That's fine, but at startup when it reads the "permanent" stats files, it absorbed their timestamps as if they were the times at which the corresponding temporary stats files had been written. In reality, of course, there's no data out there at all. This led to disregarding inquiry messages soon after startup if the postmaster had been shut down and restarted within less than PGSTAT_STAT_INTERVAL; which is a pretty common scenario, both for testing and in the field. Requesting backends would hang for 10 seconds and then report failure to read statistics, unless they got bailed out by some other backend coming along and making a newer request within that interval. I came across this through investigating unexpected delays in the src/test/recovery TAP tests: it manifests there because the autovacuum launcher hangs for 10 seconds when it can't get statistics at startup, thus preventing a second shutdown from occurring promptly. We might want to do some things in the autovac code to make it less prone to getting stuck that way, but this change is a good bug fix regardless. In passing, also fix pgstat_read_statsfiles() to ensure that it re-zeroes its global stats variables if they are corrupted by a short read from the stats file. (Other reads in that function go into temp variables, so that the issue doesn't arise.) This has been broken since we created the separation between permanent and temporary stats files in 8.4, so back-patch to all supported branches.

pg_ctl has traditionally waited one second between probes for whether the start or stop request has completed. That behavior was embodied in the original shell script written in 1999 (commit 5b912b08) and I doubt anyone's questioned it since. Nowadays, machines are a lot faster, and the shell script is long since replaced by C code, so it's fair to reconsider how long we ought to wait. This patch adjusts the coding so that the wait time can be any even divisor of 1 second, and sets the actual probe rate to 10 per second. That's based on experimentation with the src/test/recovery TAP tests, which include a lot of postmaster starts and stops. This patch alone reduces the (non-parallelized) runtime of those tests from ~4m30s to ~3m5s on my machine. Increasing the probe rate further doesn't help much, so this seems like a good number. In the real world this probably won't have much impact, since people don't start/stop production postmasters often, and the shutdown checkpoint usually takes nontrivial time too. But it makes development work and testing noticeably snappier, and that's good enough reason for me. Also, by reducing the dead time in postmaster restart sequences, this change has made it easier to reproduce some bugs that have been lurking for awhile. Patches for those will follow.

Remove hard-wired sleep(2) delays in 001_stream_rep.pl in favor of using poll_query_until to check for the desired state to appear. In addition, add such a wait before the last test in the script, as it's possible to demonstrate failures there after upcoming improvements in pg_ctl. (We might end up adding polling before each of the get_slot_xmins calls in this script, but I feel no great need to do that until shown necessary.) In passing, clarify the description strings for some of the test cases. Michael Paquier and Craig Ringer, pursuant to a complaint from me Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/8962.1498425057@sss.pgh.pa.us

Fix its header comment, which described the old behavior of the <N> phrase distance operator; we missed updating that in commit 028350f6. Also, reset errno before strtol() call, to defend against the possibility that it was already ERANGE at entry. (The lack of complaints says that it generally isn't, but this is at least a latent bug.) Very minor stylistic improvements as well. Victor Drobny noted the obsolete comment, I noted the errno issue. Back-patch to 9.6 where this code was added, just in case the errno issue is a live bug in some cases. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/2b5382fdff9b1f79d5eb2c99c4d2cbe2@postgrespro.ru

pg_import_system_collations() refused to create any ICU collations if the current database's encoding didn't support ICU. This is wrongheaded: initdb must initialize pg_collation in an encoding-independent way since it might be used in other databases with different encodings. The reason for the restriction seems to be that get_icu_locale_comment() used icu_from_uchar() to convert the UChar-format display name, and that unsurprisingly doesn't know what to do in unsupported encodings. But by the same token that the initial catalog contents must be encoding-independent, we can't allow non-ASCII characters in the comment strings. So we don't really need icu_from_uchar() here: just check for Unicode codes outside the ASCII range, and if there are none, the format conversion is trivial. If there are some, we can simply not install the comment. (In my testing, this affects only Norwegian Bokmål, which has given us trouble before.) For paranoia's sake, also check for non-ASCII characters in ICU locale names, and skip such locales, as we do for libc locales. I don't currently have a reason to believe that this will ever reject anything, but then again the libc maintainers should have known better too. With just the import changes, ICU collations can be found in pg_collation in databases with unsupported encodings. This resulted in more or less clean failures at runtime, but that's not how things act for unsupported encodings with libc collations. Make it work the same as our traditional behavior for libc collations by having collation lookup take into account whether is_encoding_supported_by_icu(). Adjust documentation to match. Also, expand Table 23.1 to show which encodings are supported by ICU. catversion bump because of likely change in pg_collation/pg_description initial contents in ICU-enabled builds.

The maxResultSize argument of uloc_getDisplayName is the number of UChars in the output buffer, not the number of bytes. In principle this could result in a stack smash, although at least in my Fedora 25 install there are no ICU locales with display names long enough to overrun the buffer. But it's easily proven to be wrong by reducing the length of displayname to around 20, whereupon a stack smash does happen. (This is a rather scary bug, because the same mistake could easily have been made in other places; but in a quick code search looking at uses of UChar I could not find any other instances.)

Marco Atzeri reported that initdb would fail if "locale -a" reported the same locale name more than once. All previous versions of Postgres implicitly de-duplicated the results of "locale -a", but the rewrite to move the collation import logic into C had lost that property. It had also lost the property that locale names matching built-in collation names were silently ignored. The simplest way to fix this is to make initdb run the function in if-not-exists mode, which means that there's no real use-case for non if-not-exists mode; we might as well just drop the boolean argument and simplify the function's definition to be "add any collations not already known". This change also gets rid of some odd corner cases caused by the fact that aliases were added in if-not-exists mode even if the function argument said otherwise. While at it, adjust the behavior so that pg_import_system_collations() doesn't spew "collation foo already exists, skipping" messages during a re-run; that's completely unhelpful, especially since there are often hundreds of them. And make it return a count of the number of collations it did add, which seems like it might be helpful. Also, re-integrate the previous coding's property that it would make a deterministic selection of which alias to use if there were conflicting possibilities. This would only come into play if "locale -a" reports multiple equivalent locale names, say "de_DE.utf8" and "de_DE.UTF-8", but that hardly seems out of the question. In passing, fix incorrect behavior in pg_import_system_collations()'s ICU code path: it neglected CommandCounterIncrement, which would result in failures if ICU returns duplicate names, and it would try to create comments even if a new collation hadn't been created. Also, reorder operations in initdb so that the 'ucs_basic' collation is created before calling pg_import_system_collations() not after. This prevents a failure if "locale -a" were to report a locale named that. There's no reason to think that that ever happens in the wild, but the old coding would have survived it, so let's be equally robust.

After sitting idle and fully replayed for a while and then encountering a new burst of WAL activity, we interpolate between an ancient sample and the not-yet-reached one for the new traffic. That produced a corner case report of lag after receiving first new reply from standby, which might sometimes be a large spike. Correct this by resetting last_read time and handle that new case.

Callers of icu_to_uchar() neglected to pfree the result string when done with it. This results in catastrophic memory leaks in varstr_cmp(), because of our prevailing assumption that btree comparison functions don't leak memory. For safety, make all the call sites clean up leaks, though I suspect that we could get away without it in formatting.c. I audited callers of icu_from_uchar() as well, but found no places that seemed to have a comparable issue. Add function API specifications for icu_to_uchar() and icu_from_uchar(); the lack of any thought-through specification is perhaps not unrelated to the existence of this bug in the first place. Fix icu_to_uchar() to guarantee a nul-terminated result; although no existing caller appears to care, the fact that it would have been nul-terminated except in extreme corner cases seems ideally designed to bite someone on the rear someday. Fix ucnv_fromUChars() destCapacity argument --- in the worst case, that could perhaps have led to a non-nul-terminated result, too. Fix icu_from_uchar() to have a more reasonable definition of the function result --- no callers are actually paying attention, so this isn't a live bug, but it's certainly sloppily designed. Const-ify icu_from_uchar()'s input string for consistency. That is not the end of what needs to be done to these functions, but it's as much as I have the patience for right now.

It's essential that initdb.c's setup_depend() scan each system catalog that could contain objects that need to have "p" (pin) entries in pg_depend or pg_shdepend. Forgetting to add that, either when a catalog is first invented or when it first acquires DATA() entries, is an obvious bug hazard. We can detect such omissions at reasonable cost by probing every OID-containing system catalog to see whether the lowest-numbered OID in it is pinned. If so, the catalog must have been properly accounted for in setup_depend(). If the lowest OID is above FirstNormalObjectId then the catalog must have been empty at the end of initdb, so it doesn't matter. There are a small number of catalogs whose first entry is made later in initdb than setup_depend(), resulting in nonempty expected output of the test, but these can be manually inspected to see that they are OK. Any future mistake of this ilk will manifest as a new entry in the test's output. Since pg_conversion is already in the test's output, add it to the set of catalogs scanned by setup_depend(). That has no effect today (hence, no catversion bump here) but it will protect us if we ever do add pin-worthy conversions. This test is very much like the catalog sanity checks embodied in opr_sanity.sql and type_sanity.sql, but testing pg_depend doesn't seem to fit naturally into either of those scripts' charters. Hence, invent a new test script misc_sanity.sql, which can be a home for this as well as tests on any other catalogs we might want in future.

The autovacuum launcher doesn't actually do anything with its DSA other than creating it and attaching to it, but it's been observed that after longjmp'ing to the standard error handling block (for example after getting SIGINT) the autovacuum enters an infinite loop reporting that it cannot attach to its DSA anymore (which is correct, because it's already attached to it.)

When promoting a standby just after a XLOG_SWITCH record was replayed, and next segment(s) are already are locally available (via walsender, restore_command + trigger/recovery target), that segment could accidentally be recycled onto the past of the new timeline. Later checkpointer would create a .ready file for it, assuming there was an error during creation, and it would get archived. That causes trouble if another standby is later brought up from a basebackup from before the timeline creation, because it would try to read the segment, because XLogFileReadAnyTLI just tries all possible timelines, which doesn't have valid contents. Thus replay would fail. The problem, if already occurred, can be fixed by removing the segment and/or having restore_command filter it out. The reason for the creation of such "phantom" segments was, that after an XLOG_SWITCH record the EndOfLog variable points to the beginning of the next segment, and RemoveXlogFile() used XLByteToPrevSeg(). Normally RemoveXlogFile() doing so is harmless, because the last segment will still exist preventing InstallXLogFileSegment() from causing harm, but just after promotion there's no previous segment on the new timeline. Fix that by using XLByteToSeg() instead of XLByteToPrevSeg().

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.
