By using curly braces, the template had specified that one of "NOT DEFERRABLE", "INITIALLY IMMEDIATE", or "INITIALLY DEFERRED" was required on any CREATE TRIGGER statement, which is not accurate. Change to square brackets makes that optional. Backpatch to 9.1, where the error was introduced.

The catcache code is effectively assuming this already, so let's insist that the catalog and index are actually declared that way. Having done that, the comments in indexing.h about non-unique indexes not being used for catcaches are completely redundant not just mostly so; and we didn't have such a comment for every such index anyway. So let's get rid of them. Per discussion of whether we should identify primary keys for catalogs. We might or might not take that further step, but this change in itself will allow quicker detection of misdeclared catcaches, so it seems worth doing in any case.

dblink uses a short-lived data conversion memory context. However it was not deleted when no longer needed, leading to a noticeable memory leak under some circumstances. Plug the hole, along with minor refactoring. Backpatch to 9.2 where the leak was introduced. Report and initial patch by MauMau. Reviewed/modified slightly by Tom Lane and me.

Since fdf9e211 lazy_vacuum_page() rechecks the all-visible status of pages in the second pass over the heap. It does so inside a critical section, but both visibilitymap_test() and heap_page_is_all_visible() perform operations that should not happen inside one. The former potentially performs IO and both potentially do memory allocations. To fix, simply move all the all-visible handling outside the critical section. Doing so means that the PD_ALL_VISIBLE on the page won't be included in the full page image of the HEAP2_CLEAN record anymore. But that's fine, the flag will be set by the HEAP2_VISIBLE logged later. Backpatch to 9.3 where the problem was introduced. The bug only came to light due to the assertion added in 4a170ee9 and isn't likely to cause problems in production scenarios. The worst outcome is a avoidable PANIC restart. This also gets rid of the difference in the order of operations between master and standby mentioned in 2a8e1ac5. Per reports from David Leverton and Keith Fiske in bug #10533.

The existance of the assert_enabled variable (backing the debug_assertions GUC) reduced the amount of knowledge some static code checkers (like coverity and various compilers) could infer from the existance of the assertion. That could have been solved by optionally removing the assertion_enabled variable from the Assert() et al macros at compile time when some special macro is defined, but the resulting complication doesn't seem to be worth the gain from having debug_assertions. Recompiling is fast enough. The debug_assertions GUC is still available, but readonly, as it's useful when diagnosing problems. The commandline/client startup option -A, which previously also allowed to enable/disable assertions, has been removed as it doesn't serve a purpose anymore. While at it, reduce code duplication in bufmgr.c and localbuf.c assertions checking for spurious buffer pins. That code had to be reindented anyway to cope with the assert_enabled removal.

ExecMakeTableFunctionResult evaluated the arguments for a function-in-FROM in the query-lifespan memory context. This is insignificant in simple cases where the function relation is scanned only once; but if the function is in a sub-SELECT or is on the inside of a nested loop, any memory consumed during argument evaluation can add up quickly. (The potential for trouble here had been foreseen long ago, per existing comments; but we'd not previously seen a complaint from the field about it.) To fix, create an additional temporary context just for this purpose. Per an example from MauMau. Back-patch to all active branches.

Give passwords to each user created in support of an ECPG connection test case. Use SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION, not a fresh connection, to reduce privileges during a dblink test case. To test against such a server, both the "make installcheck-world" environment and the postmaster environment must provide the default user's password; $PGPASSFILE is the principal way to do so. (The postmaster environment needs it for dblink and postgres_fdw tests.)

Commit ea9df812 failed to include NUM_BUFFER_PARTITIONS in this offset, resulting in a bad offset. Ultimately this threw off NUM_FIXED_LWLOCKS which is based on earlier offsets, leading to memory allocation problems. It seems likely to have also caused increased LWLOCK contention when serializable transactions were used, because lightweight locks used for that overlapped others. Reported by Amit Kapila with analysis and fix. Backpatch to 9.4, where the bug was introduced.

data_directory could be set both in postgresql.conf and postgresql.auto.conf so far. This could cause some problematic situations like circular definition. To avoid such situations, this commit forbids a user to set data_directory in postgresql.auto.conf. Backpatch this to 9.4 where ALTER SYSTEM command was introduced.

Arrange for postmaster child processes to respond to two environment variables, PG_OOM_ADJUST_FILE and PG_OOM_ADJUST_VALUE, to determine whether they reset their OOM score adjustments and if so to what. This is superior to the previous design involving #ifdef's in several ways. The behavior is now available in a default build, and both ends of the adjustment --- the original adjustment of the postmaster's level and the subsequent readjustment by child processes --- can now be controlled in one place, namely the postmaster launch script. So it's no longer necessary for the launch script to act on faith that the server was compiled with the appropriate options. In addition, if someone wants to use an OOM score other than zero for the child processes, that doesn't take a recompile anymore; and we no longer have to cater separately to the two different historical kernel APIs for this adjustment.

This SQL-standard feature allows a sub-SELECT yielding multiple columns (but only one row) to be used to compute the new values of several columns to be updated. While the same results can be had with an independent sub-SELECT per column, such a workaround can require a great deal of duplicated computation. The standard actually says that the source for a multi-column assignment could be any row-valued expression. The implementation used here is tightly tied to our existing sub-SELECT support and can't handle other cases; the Bison grammar would have some issues with them too. However, I don't feel too bad about this since other cases can be converted into sub-SELECTs. For instance, "SET (a,b,c) = row_valued_function(x)" could be written "SET (a,b,c) = (SELECT * FROM row_valued_function(x))".

Since most of the system thinks AND and OR are N-argument expressions anyway, let's have the grammar generate a representation of that form when dealing with input like "x AND y AND z AND ...", rather than generating a deeply-nested binary tree that just has to be flattened later by the planner. This avoids stack overflow in parse analysis when dealing with queries having more than a few thousand such clauses; and in any case it removes some rather unsightly inconsistencies, since some parts of parse analysis were generating N-argument ANDs/ORs already. It's still possible to get a stack overflow with weirdly parenthesized input, such as "x AND (y AND (z AND ( ... )))", but such cases are not mainstream usage. The maximum depth of parenthesization is already limited by Bison's stack in such cases, anyway, so that the limit is probably fairly platform-independent. Patch originally by Gurjeet Singh, heavily revised by me

Any OS user able to access the socket can connect as the bootstrap superuser and proceed to execute arbitrary code as the OS user running the test. Protect against that by placing the socket in a temporary, mode-0700 subdirectory of /tmp. The pg_regress-based test suites and the pg_upgrade test suite were vulnerable; the $(prove_check)-based test suites were already secure. Back-patch to 8.4 (all supported versions). The hazard remains wherever the temporary cluster accepts TCP connections, notably on Windows. As a convenient side effect, this lets testing proceed smoothly in builds that override DEFAULT_PGSOCKET_DIR. Popular non-default values like /var/run/postgresql are often unwritable to the build user. Security: CVE-2014-0067

We have for a long time been able to prove implications and refutations between clauses structured like "expr op const" with the same subexpression and btree-related operators; for example that "x < 4" implies "x <= 5". The implication machinery is needed to detect usability of partial indexes, and the refutation machinery is needed to implement constraint exclusion. This patch extends that machinery to make proofs for operator expressions involving the same two immutable-but-not-necessarily-just-Const input expressions, ie does "expr1 op1 expr2" prove or refute "expr1 op2 expr2" or "expr2 op2 expr1"? An important example is that we can now prove "x = y" given "y = x", which formerly the code could not deduce unless x or y was a constant. We can make use of the system's knowledge of operator commutator and negator pairs, and can also make use of btree opclass relationships, for example "x < y" implies "x <= y" and refutes "x > y" (notice that neither of these could be proven just from commutator or negator links). Inspired by a gripe from Brian Dunavant. This seems more like a new feature than a bug fix, though, so no back-patch.

Prior to 9.0, pg_dump handled comments on large objects by dumping a bunch of COMMENT commands into a single BLOB COMMENTS archive object. With sufficiently many such comments, some of the commands would likely get split across bufferloads when restoring, causing failures in direct-to-database restores (though no problem would be evident in text output). This is the same type of issue we have with table data dumped as INSERT commands, and it can be fixed in the same way, by using a mini SQL lexer to figure out where the command boundaries are. Fortunately, the COMMENT commands are no more complex to lex than INSERTs, so we can just re-use the existing lexer for INSERTs. Per bug #10611 from Jacek Zalewski. Back-patch to all active branches.

We should report the errno when we get a failure from functions like BufFileWrite. "ERROR: write failed" is unreasonably taciturn for a case that's well within the realm of possibility; I've seen it a couple times in the buildfarm recently, in situations that were probably out-of-disk-space, but it'd be good to see the errno to confirm it. I think this code was originally written without assuming that the buffile.c functions would return useful errno; but most other callers *are* assuming that, and a quick look at the buffile code gives no reason to suppose otherwise. Also, a couple of the old messages were phrased on the assumption that a short read might indicate a logic bug in tuplestore itself; but that code's pretty well tested by now, so a filesystem-level problem seems much more likely.

Since we commonly test pg_dump/pg_restore by seeing whether they can dump and restore the regression test database, it behooves us to include some large objects in that test scenario. I tried to include a comment on one of these large objects to improve the test scenario further ... but it turns out that pg_upgrade fails to preserve comments on large objects, and its regression test notices the discrepancy. So uncommenting that COMMENT is a TODO for later.

Memorialize the expected output of the query that libpq has been using for many years to get the OIDs of large-object support functions. Although we really ought to change the way libpq does this, we must expect that this query will remain in use in the field for the foreseeable future, so until we're ready to break compatibility with old libpq versions we'd better check the results stay the same. See the recent lo_create() fiasco.
-
Tom Lane authored
The previous naming broke the query that libpq's lo_initialize() uses to collect the OIDs of the server-side functions it requires, because that query effectively assumes that there is only one function named lo_create in the pg_catalog schema (and likewise only one lo_open, etc). While we should certainly make libpq more robust about this, the naive query will remain in use in the field for the foreseeable future, so it seems the only workable choice is to use a different name for the new function. lo_from_bytea() won a small straw poll. Back-patch into 9.4 where the new function was introduced.

If a sub-select-in-FROM gets flattened into the upper query, then we naturally get rid of any output columns that are defined in the sub-select text but not actually used in the upper query. However, this doesn't happen when it's not possible to flatten the subquery, for example because it contains GROUP BY, LIMIT, etc. Allowing the subquery to compute useless output columns is often fairly harmless, but sometimes it has significant performance cost: the unused output might be an expensive expression, or it might be a Var from a relation that we could remove entirely (via the join-removal logic) if only we realized that we didn't really need that Var. Situations like this are common when expanding views, so it seems worth taking the trouble to detect and remove unused outputs. Because the upper query's Var numbering for subquery references depends on positions in the subquery targetlist, we don't want to renumber the items we leave behind. Instead, we can implement "removal" by replacing the unwanted expressions with simple NULL constants. This wastes a few cycles at runtime, but not enough to justify more work in the planner.
