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.

When we grabbed this file off the Snowball project's website, we mistakenly supposed that it was in LATIN1 encoding, but evidently it was actually in LATIN2. This resulted in ő (o-double-acute, U+0151, which is code 0xF5 in LATIN2) being misconverted into õ (o-tilde, U+00F5), as complained of in bug #10589 from Zoltán Sörös. We'd have messed up u-double-acute too, but there aren't any of those in the file. Other characters used in the file have the same codes in LATIN1 and LATIN2, which no doubt helped hide the problem for so long. The error is not only ours: the Snowball project also was confused about which encoding is required for Hungarian. But dealing with that will require source-code changes that I'm not at all sure we'll wish to back-patch. Fixing the stopword file seems reasonably safe to back-patch however.

Although this bug is already fixed in post-9.2 branches, the case triggering it is quite different from what was under consideration at the time. It seems worth memorializing this example in HEAD just to make sure it doesn't get broken again in future. Extracted from commit 187ae17300776f48b2bd9d0737923b1bf70f606e.

Previously, the code used a node label of zero both for strings that contain no bytes beyond the inner tuple's prefix, and for cases where an "allTheSame" inner tuple has to be split to allow a string with a different next byte to be inserted into it. Failing to distinguish these cases meant that if a string ending with the current prefix needed to be inserted into an allTheSame tuple, we got into an infinite loop, because after splitting the tuple we'd descend into the child allTheSame tuple and then find we need to split again. To fix, instead use -1 and -2 as the node labels for these two cases. This requires widening the node label type from "char" to int2, but fortunately SPGiST stores all pass-by-value node label types in their Datum representation, which means that this change is transparently upward compatible so far as the on-disk representation goes. We continue to recognize zero as a dummy node label for reading purposes, but will not attempt to push new index entries down into such a label, so that the loop won't occur even when dealing with an existing index. Per report from Teodor Sigaev. Back-patch to 9.2 where the faulty code was introduced.

A ReorderBufferTransaction's end_lsn, the sentPtr advocated by walsender keepalive messages, and the end location remembered by the decoding get_*changes* SQL functions all use the location of the last read record + 1. I.e. the LSN points to the beginning of the next record. That cannot realistically be changed without changing the replication protocol because that's how keepalive messages have worked since 9.0. The bug is that the logic inside the snapshot builder, which decides whether a transaction's contents should be decoded, assumed the start location would point towards the last byte of the last record. The reason this didn't actually cause visible problems is that currently that decision is only made for commit records. Since interesting transactions always have at least one additional record - containing actual data - we'd never skip a transaction. But if there ever were transactions, or other events, with just one record containing important information, we'd skip them after stopping and restarting logical decoding.

It's critical that the backend's idea of LOBLKSIZE match the way data has actually been divided up in pg_largeobject. While we don't provide any direct way to adjust that value, doing so is a one-line source code change and various people have expressed interest recently in changing it. So, just as with TOAST_MAX_CHUNK_SIZE, it seems prudent to record the value in pg_control and cross-check that the backend's compiled-in setting matches the on-disk data. Also tweak the code in inv_api.c so that fetches from pg_largeobject explicitly verify that the length of the data field is not more than LOBLKSIZE. Formerly we just had Asserts() for that, which is no protection at all in production builds. In some of the call sites an overlength data value would translate directly to a security-relevant stack clobber, so it seems worth one extra runtime comparison to be sure. In the back branches, we can't change the contents of pg_control; but we can still make the extra checks in inv_api.c, which will offer some amount of protection against running with the wrong value of LOBLKSIZE.

Previously there's been a mix between 'slotname' and 'slot_name'. It's not nice to be unneccessarily inconsistent in a new feature. As a post beta1 initdb now is required in the wake of eeca4cd3, fix the inconsistencies. Most the changes won't affect usage of replication slots because the majority of changes is around function parameter names. The prominent exception to that is that the recovery.conf parameter 'primary_slotname' is now named 'primary_slot_name'.

The way the code was written, the padding was copied from uninitialized memory areas.. Because the structs are local variables in the code where the WAL records are constructed, making them larger and zeroing the padding bytes would not make the code very pretty, so rather than fixing this directly by zeroing out the padding bytes, it seems more clear to not try to align the tuples in the WAL records. The redo functions are taught to copy the tuple header to a local variable to avoid unaligned access. Stable-branches have the same problem, but we can't change the WAL format there, so fix in master only. Reading a few random extra bytes at the stack is harmless in practice, so it's not worth crafting a different back-patchable fix. Per reports from Kevin Grittner and Andres Freund, using clang static analyzer and Valgrind, respectively.

Buildfarm says we get different plans on 32-bit and 64-bit platforms, probably because of MAXALIGN-related differences in memory-consumption calculations. Add some dummy WHERE clauses so that the planner estimates different sizes for the three generate_series() relations; that should stabilize the choice of join order.

This is needed to allow ORDER BY, DISTINCT, etc to work as expected for pg_lsn values. We had previously decided to put this off for 9.5, but in view of commit eeca4cd3 there's no reason to avoid a catversion bump for 9.4beta2, and this does make a pretty significant usability difference for pg_lsn.

HeapTupleSatisfiesVacuum() didn't properly discern between DELETE_IN_PROGRESS and INSERT_IN_PROGRESS for rows that have been inserted in the current transaction and deleted in a aborted subtransaction of the current backend. At the very least that caused problems for CLUSTER and CREATE INDEX in transactions that had aborting subtransactions producing rows, leading to warnings like: WARNING: concurrent delete in progress within table "..." possibly in an endless, uninterruptible, loop. Instead of treating *InProgress xmins the same as *IsCurrent ones, treat them as being distinct like the other visibility routines. As implemented this separatation can cause a behaviour change for rows that have been inserted and deleted in another, still running, transaction. HTSV will now return INSERT_IN_PROGRESS instead of DELETE_IN_PROGRESS for those. That's both, more in line with the other visibility routines and arguably more correct. The latter because a INSERT_IN_PROGRESS will make callers look at/wait for xmin, instead of xmax. The only current caller where that's possibly worse than the old behaviour is heap_prune_chain() which now won't mark the page as prunable if a row has concurrently been inserted and deleted. That's harmless enough. As a cautionary measure also insert a interrupt check before the gotos in IndexBuildHeapScan() that lead to the uninterruptible loop. There are other possible causes, like a row that several sessions try to update and all fail, for repeated loops and the cost of doing so in the retry case is low. As this bug goes back all the way to the introduction of subtransactions in 573a71a5 backpatch to all supported releases. Reported-By: Sandro Santilli

187492b6 changed pgstat.c so that the stats files were saved into $PGDATA/pg_stat directory when the server was shutdowned. But it accidentally forgot to change the location of pg_stat_statements permanent stats file. This commit fixes pg_stat_statements so that its stats file is also saved into $PGDATA/pg_stat at shutdown. Since this fix changes the file layout, we don't back-patch it to 9.3 where this oversight was introduced.

Previously, any backslash in text being escaped for JSON was doubled so that the result was still valid JSON. However, this led to some perverse results in the case of Unicode sequences, These are now detected and the initial backslash is no longer escaped. All other backslashes are still escaped. No validity check is performed, all that is looked for is \uXXXX where X is a hexidecimal digit. This is a change from the 9.2 and 9.3 behaviour as noted in the Release notes. Per complaint from Teodor Sigaev.
