In Perl builds that define PERL_IMPLICIT_SYS, XSUB.h defines macros that replace a whole lot of basic libc functions with Perl functions. We can't tolerate that in plperl.c; it breaks at least PG_TRY and probably other stuff. The core idea of this patch is to include XSUB.h only in the .xs files where it's really needed, and to move any code broken by PERL_IMPLICIT_SYS out of the .xs files and into plperl.c. The reason this hasn't been a problem before is that our build techniques did not result in PERL_IMPLICIT_SYS appearing as a #define in PL/Perl, even on some platforms where Perl thinks it is defined. That's about to change in order to fix a nasty portability issue, so we need this work to make the code safe for that. Rather unaccountably, the Perl people chose XSUB.h as the place to provide the versions of the aTHX/aTHX_ macros that are needed by code that's not explicitly aware of the MULTIPLICITY API conventions. Hence, just removing XSUB.h from plperl.c fails miserably. But we can work around that by defining PERL_NO_GET_CONTEXT (which would make the relevant stanza of XSUB.h a no-op anyway). As explained in perlguts.pod, that means we need to add a "dTHX" macro call in every C function that calls a Perl API function. In most of them we just add this at the top; but since the macro fetches the current Perl interpreter pointer, more care is needed in functions that switch the active interpreter. Lack of the macro is easily recognized since it results in bleats about "my_perl" not being defined. (A nice side benefit of this is that it significantly reduces the number of fetches of the current interpreter pointer. On my machine, plperl.so gets more than 10% smaller, and there's probably some performance win too. We could reduce the number of fetches still more by decorating the code with pTHX_/aTHX_ macros to pass the interpreter pointer around, as explained by perlguts.pod; but that's a task for another day.) Formatting note: pgindent seems happy to treat "dTHX;" as a declaration so long as it's the first thing after the left brace, as we'd already observed with respect to the similar macro "dSP;". If you try to put it later in a set of declarations, pgindent puts ugly extra space around it. Having removed XSUB.h from plperl.c, we need only move the support functions for spi_return_next and util_elog (both of which use PG_TRY) out of the .xs files and into plperl.c. This seems sufficient to avoid the known problems caused by PERL_IMPLICIT_SYS, although we could move more code if additional issues emerge. This will need to be back-patched, but first let's see what the buildfarm makes of it. Patch by me, with some help from Ashutosh Sharma Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CANFyU97OVQ3+Mzfmt3MhuUm5NwPU=-FtbNH5Eb7nZL9ua8=rcA@mail.gmail.com

Most functions in this file are content to print an empty table if there are no matching objects. In some, the behavior is to loop over all matching objects and print a table for each one; therefore, without any extra logic, nothing at all would be printed if no objects match. We accept that outcome in QUIET mode, but in normal mode it seems better to print a helpful message. The new \dRp+ command had not gotten that memo; fix it. listDbRoleSettings() is out of step on this, but I think it's better for it to print a custom message rather than an empty table, because of the possibility that the user is confused about what the pattern arguments mean or which is which. The original message wording was entirely useless for clarifying that, though, not to mention being unlike the wordings used elsewhere. Improve the text, and also print the messages with psql_error as is the general custom here. listTables() is also out in left field, but since it's such a heavily used function, I'm hesitant to change its behavior so much as to print an empty table rather than a custom message. People are probably used to getting a message. But we can make the wording more standardized and helpful, and print it with psql_error rather than printing to stdout. In both listDbRoleSettings and listTables, we play dumb and emit an empty table, not a custom message, in QUIET mode. That was true before and I see no need to change it. Several of the places printing such messages risked dumping core if no pattern string had been provided; make them more wary. (This case is presently unreachable in describeTableDetails; but it shouldn't be assuming that command.c will never pass it a null. The text search functions would only reach the case if a database contained no text search objects, which is also currently impossible since we pin the built-in objects, but again it seems unwise to assume that here.)

listDbRoleSettings() handled its server version check randomly differently from every other comparable function in describe.c, not only as to code layout but also message wording. It also leaked memory, because its PQExpBuffer management was also unlike everyplace else (and wrong). Also fix an error-case leak in add_tablespace_footer(). In passing, standardize the format of function header comments in describe.c --- we usually put "/*" alone on a line.

When output of IPC::Run::run () is redirected to scalar references, in certain circumstances the Msys perl does not correctly detect that the end of file has been seen, making the test hang indefinitely. One such circumstance is when the command is 'pg_ctl start', and such a change was made in commit f13ea95f. The workaround, which only applies on MSys, is to redirect the output to temporary files and then read them in when the process has finished. Patch by me, reviewed and tweaked by Tom Lane.

Fix assorted places that had not bothered with the convention of prefixing catalog and function names with "pg_catalog.". That could possibly result in query failure when running with a nondefault search_path. Also fix two places that weren't quoting OID literals. I think the latter hasn't mattered much since about 7.3, but it's still a bad idea to be doing it in 99 places and not in 2 others. Also remove a useless EXISTS sub-select that someone had stuck into describeOneTableDetails' queries for child tables. We just got the OID out of pg_class, so I hardly see how checking that it exists in pg_class was doing anything helpful. In passing, try to improve the emitted formatting of a couple of these queries, though I didn't work really hard on that. And merge unnecessarily duplicative coding in some other places. Much of this was new in HEAD, but some was quite old; back-patch as appropriate.

If several sessions are concurrently locking a tuple update chain with nonconflicting lock modes using an old snapshot, and they all succeed, it may happen that some of them fail because of restarting the loop (due to a concurrent Xmax change) and getting an error in the subsequent pass while trying to obtain a tuple lock that they already have in some tuple version. This can only happen with very high concurrency (where a row is being both updated and FK-checked by multiple transactions concurrently), but it's been observed in the field and can have unpleasant consequences such as an FK check failing to see a tuple that definitely exists: ERROR: insert or update on table "child_table" violates foreign key constraint "fk_constraint_name" DETAIL: Key (keyid)=(123456) is not present in table "parent_table". (where the key is observably present in the table). Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20170714210011.r25mrff4nxjhmf3g@alvherre.pgsql

This module becomes much more useful if we allow it to be used as base class for external projects. To achieve this, change the exported get_new_node function into a class method instead, and use the standard Perl idiom of accepting the class as first argument. This method works as expected for subclasses. The standalone function is kept for backwards compatibility, though it could be removed in pg11.

It is relatively easy to get a replication slot to look as still active while one process is in the process of getting rid of it; when some other process tries to "acquire" the slot, it would fail with an error message of "replication slot XYZ is active for PID N". The error message in itself is fine, except that when the intention is to drop the slot, it is unhelpful: the useful behavior would be to wait until the slot is no longer acquired, so that the drop can proceed. To implement this, we use a condition variable so that slot acquisition can be told to wait on that condition variable if the slot is already acquired, and we make any change in active_pid broadcast a signal on the condition variable. Thus, as soon as the slot is released, the drop will proceed properly. Reported by: Tom Lane Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/11904.1499039688@sss.pgh.pa.us Authors: Petr Jelínek, Álvaro Herrera

Trading a little too heavily on letting the code path be the same whether we were creating shared data structures or only attaching to them, InitPredicateLocks() inserted the "scratch" PredicateLockTargetHash entry unconditionally. This is just wrong if we're in a postmaster child, which would only reach this code in EXEC_BACKEND builds. Most of the time, the hash_search(HASH_ENTER) call would simply report that the entry already existed, causing no visible effect since the code did not bother to check for that possibility. However, if this happened while some other backend had transiently removed the "scratch" entry, then that other backend's eventual RestoreScratchTarget would suffer an assert failure; this appears to be the explanation for a recent failure on buildfarm member culicidae. In non-assert builds, there would be no visible consequences there either. But nonetheless this is a pretty bad bug for EXEC_BACKEND builds, for two reasons: 1. Each new backend would perform the hash_search(HASH_ENTER) call without holding any lock that would prevent concurrent access to the PredicateLockTargetHash hash table. This creates a low but certainly nonzero risk of corruption of that hash table. 2. In the event that the race condition occurred, by reinserting the scratch entry too soon, we were defeating the entire purpose of the scratch entry, namely to guarantee that transaction commit could move hash table entries around with no risk of out-of-memory failure. The odds of an actual OOM failure are quite low, but not zero, and if it did happen it would again result in corruption of the hash table. The user-visible symptoms of such corruption are a little hard to predict, but would presumably amount to misbehavior of SERIALIZABLE transactions that'd require a crash or postmaster restart to fix. To fix, just skip the hash insertion if IsUnderPostmaster. I also inserted a bunch of assertions that the expected things happen depending on whether IsUnderPostmaster is true. That might be overkill, since most comparable code in other functions isn't quite that paranoid, but once burnt twice shy. In passing, also move a couple of lines to places where they seemed to make more sense. Diagnosis of problem by Thomas Munro, patch by me. Back-patch to all supported branches.

If the user modifies a view that has CHECK OPTIONs and this gets translated into a modification to an underlying relation which happens to be a foreign table, the check options should be enforced. In the normal code path, that was happening properly, but it was not working properly for "direct" modification because the whole operation gets pushed to the remote side in that case and we never have an option to enforce the constraint against individual tuples. Fix by disabling direct modification when there is a need to enforce CHECK OPTIONs. Etsuro Fujita, reviewed by Kyotaro Horiguchi and by me.

Various cases involving renaming of view columns are handled by having make_viewdef pass down the view's current relation tupledesc to get_query_def, which then takes care to use the column names from the tupledesc for the output column names of the SELECT. For some reason though, we'd missed teaching make_ruledef to do similarly when it is printing an ON SELECT rule, even though this is exactly the same case. The results from pg_get_ruledef would then be different and arguably wrong. In particular, this breaks pre-v10 versions of pg_dump, which in some situations would define views by means of emitting a CREATE RULE ... ON SELECT command. Third-party tools might not be happy either. In passing, clean up some crufty code in make_viewdef; we'd apparently modernized the equivalent code in make_ruledef somewhere along the way, and missed this copy. Per report from Gilles Darold.

Add error checks in some places that were calling get_opfamily_member or get_opfamily_proc and just assuming that the call could never fail. Also, standardize the wording for such errors in some other places. None of these errors are expected in normal use, hence they're just elog not ereport. But they may be handy for diagnosing omissions in custom opclasses.

pg_dump with the --clean option failed to emit DROP EVENT TRIGGER commands for event triggers. In a closely related oversight, it also did not emit ALTER OWNER commands for event triggers.

When incrementally updating a file larger than 2GB, the old code could either fail outright (if the client asked the server for bytes beyond the 2GB boundary) or fail to copy all the blocks that had actually been modified (if the server reported a file size to the client in excess of 2GB), resulting in data corruption. Generally, such files won't occur anyway, but they might if using a non-default segment size or if there the directory contains stray files unrelated to PostgreSQL. Fix by a more prudent choice of data types. Even with these improvements, this code still uses a mix of different types (off_t, size_t, uint64, int64) to represent file sizes and offsets, not all of which necessarily have the same width or signedness, so further cleanup might be in order here. However, at least now they all have the potential to be 64 bits wide on 64-bit platforms. Kuntal Ghosh and Michael Paquier, with a tweak by me.

Previously, UNBOUNDED meant no lower bound when used in the FROM list, and no upper bound when used in the TO list, which was OK for single-column range partitioning, but problematic with multiple columns. For example, an upper bound of (10.0, UNBOUNDED) would not be collocated with a lower bound of (10.0, UNBOUNDED), thus making it difficult or impossible to define contiguous multi-column range partitions in some cases. Fix this by using MINVALUE and MAXVALUE instead of UNBOUNDED to represent a partition column that is unbounded below or above respectively. This syntax removes any ambiguity, and ensures that if one partition's lower bound equals another partition's upper bound, then the partitions are contiguous. Also drop the constraint prohibiting finite values after an unbounded column, and just document the fact that any values after MINVALUE or MAXVALUE are ignored. Previously it was necessary to repeat UNBOUNDED multiple times, which was needlessly verbose. Note: Forces a post-PG 10 beta2 initdb.

Normally, a JoinExpr would have empty "quals" only if it came from CROSS JOIN syntax. However, it's possible to get to this state by specifying NATURAL JOIN between two tables with no common column names, and there might be other ways too. The code previously printed no ON clause if "quals" was empty; that's right for CROSS JOIN but syntactically invalid if it's some type of outer join. Fix by printing ON TRUE in that case. This got broken by commit 2ffa740b, which stopped using NATURAL JOIN syntax in ruleutils output due to its brittleness in the face of column renamings. Back-patch to 9.3 where that commit appeared.

When pg_control was first designed, sizeof(ControlFileData) was small enough that a comment seemed like plenty to document the assumption that it'd fit into one disk sector. Now it's nearly 300 bytes, raising the possibility that somebody would carelessly add enough stuff to create a problem. Let's add a StaticAssertStmt() to ensure that the situation doesn't pass unnoticed if it ever occurs. While at it, rename PG_CONTROL_SIZE to PG_CONTROL_FILE_SIZE to make it clearer what that symbol means, and convert the existing runtime comparisons of sizeof(ControlFileData) vs. PG_CONTROL_FILE_SIZE to be static asserts --- we didn't have that technology when this code was first written.

It seemed a bit silly that each caller of make_tsvector() was laboriously special-casing the situation where no lexemes were found, when it would be easy and much more bullet-proof to make make_tsvector() handle that.

Tom Lane authored
In an off-list followup to bug #14745, Bob Jones complained that to_tsvector() on a 2MB jsonb value took an unreasonable amount of time and space --- enough to draw the wrath of the OOM killer on his machine. On my machine, his example proved to require upwards of 18 seconds and 4GB, which seemed pretty bogus considering that to_tsvector() on the same data treated as text took just a couple hundred msec and 10 or so MB. On investigation, the problem is that the implementation scans each string element of the json(b) and converts it to tsvector separately, then applies tsvector_concat() to join those separate tsvectors. The unreasonable memory usage came from leaking every single one of the transient tsvectors --- but even without that mistake, this is an O(N^2) or worse algorithm, because tsvector_concat() has to repeatedly process the words coming from earlier elements. We can fix it by accumulating all the lexeme data and applying make_tsvector() just once. As a side benefit, that also makes the desired adjustment of lexeme positions far cheaper, because we can just tweak the running "pos" counter between JSON elements. In passing, try to make the explanation of that tweak more intelligible. (I didn't think that a barely-readable comment far removed from the actual code was helpful.) And do some minor other code beautification.
