After a crash of a backend using temporary files, the files used to be left behind, on the basis that it might be useful for debugging. But we don't have any reports of anyone actually doing that, and it means the disk usage may grow over time due to repeated backend failures (possibly even hitting ENOSPC). So this behavior is a bit unfortunate, and fixing it required either manual cleanup (deleting files, which is error-prone) or restart of the instance (i.e. service disruption). This implements automatic cleanup of temporary files, controled by a new GUC remove_temp_files_after_crash. By default the files are removed, but it can be disabled to restore the old behavior if needed.

pg_read_file() is the function that's in core, pg_file_read() is in adminpack. But when using pg_file_read() in adminpack it calls the *C* level function pg_read_file() in core, which probably threw the original author off. But the error hint should be about the SQL function.

Commit 05c8482f added the implementation of parallel SELECT for "INSERT INTO ... SELECT ..." which may incur non-negligible overhead in the additional parallel-safety checks that it performs, even when, in the end, those checks determine that parallelism can't be used. This is normally only ever a problem in the case of when the target table has a large number of partitions. A new GUC option "enable_parallel_insert" is added, to allow insert in parallel-mode. The default is on. In addition to the GUC option, the user may want a mechanism to allow inserts in parallel-mode with finer granularity at table level. The new table option "parallel_insert_enabled" allows this. The default is true.

When accessing replication slot stats, introduced in 98681675, pgstat_read_statsfiles() reads the data into newly allocated memory. Unfortunately the current memory context at that point is the callers, leading to leaks and use-after-free dangers. The fix is trivial, explicitly use pgStatLocalContext. There's some potential for further improvements, but that's outside of the scope of this bugfix. No backpatch necessary, feature is only in HEAD.

While looking at Robert Foggia's report, I noticed a passel of other issues in the same area: * The scheme for backslash-quoting newlines in pathnames is just wrong; it will misbehave if the last ordinary character in a pathname is a backslash. I'm not sure why we're bothering to allow newlines in tablespace paths, but if we're going to do it we should do it without introducing other problems. Hence, backslashes themselves have to be backslashed too. * The author hadn't read the sscanf man page very carefully, because this code would drop any leading whitespace from the path. (I doubt that a tablespace path with leading whitespace could happen in practice; but if we're bothering to allow newlines in the path, it sure seems like leading whitespace is little less implausible.) Using sscanf for the task of finding the first space is overkill anyway. * While I'm not 100% sure what the rationale for escaping both \r and \n is, if the idea is to allow Windows newlines in the file then this code failed, because it'd throw an error if it saw \r followed by \n. * There's no cross-check for an incomplete final line in the map file, which would be a likely apparent symptom of the improper-escaping bug. On the generation end, aside from the escaping issue we have: * If needtblspcmapfile is true then do_pg_start_backup will pass back escaped strings in tablespaceinfo->path values, which no caller wants or is prepared to deal with. I'm not sure if there's a live bug from that, but it looks like there might be (given the dubious assumption that anyone actually has newlines in their tablespace paths). * It's not being very paranoid about the possibility of random stuff in the pg_tblspc directory. IMO we should ignore anything without an OID-like name. The escaping rule change doesn't seem back-patchable: it'll require doubling of backslashes in the tablespace_map file, which is basically a basebackup format change. The odds of that causing trouble are considerably more than the odds of the existing bug causing trouble. The rest of this seems somewhat unlikely to cause problems too, so no back-patch.

Robert Foggia of Trustwave reported that read_tablespace_map() fails to prevent an overrun of its on-stack input buffer. Since the tablespace map file is presumed trustworthy, this does not seem like an interesting security vulnerability, but still we should fix it just in the name of robustness. While here, document that pg_basebackup's --tablespace-mapping option doesn't work with tar-format output, because it doesn't. To make it work, we'd have to modify the tablespace_map file within the tarball sent by the server, which might be possible but I'm not volunteering. (Less-painful solutions would require changing the basebackup protocol so that the source server could adjust the map. That's not very appetizing either.)

The existing test script does run pg_basebackup with the -Ft option, but it makes no real attempt to verify the sanity of the results. We wouldn't know if the output is incompatible with standard "tar" programs, nor if the server fails to start from the restored output. Notably, this means that xlog.c's read_tablespace_map() is not being meaningfully tested, since that code is used only in the tar-format case. (We do have reasonable coverage of restoring from plain-format output, though it's over in src/test/recovery not here.) Hence, attempt to untar the output and start a server from it, rather just hoping it's OK. This test assumes that the local "tar" has the "-C directory" switch. Although that's not promised by POSIX, my research suggests that all non-extinct tar implementations have it. Should the buildfarm's opinion differ, we can complicate the test a bit to avoid requiring that. Possibly this should be back-patched, but I'm unsure about whether it could work on Windows before d66b23b0.

This was a bit disjointed, partly because of a not-well-considered decision to document SQL commands that don't return result rows as though they had nothing in common with commands that do. Rearrange so that we have one discussion of variable substitution that clearly applies to all types of SQL commands, and then handle the question of processing command output separately. Clarify that EXPLAIN, CREATE TABLE AS SELECT, and similar commands that incorporate an optimizable statement will act like optimizable statements for the purposes of variable substitution. Do a bunch of minor wordsmithing in the same area.

Commit 3048898e dropped -ING from some wait event names that correspond to barrier phases. Update the phases' names to match. While we're here making cosmetic changes, also rename "DONE" to "FREE". That pairs better with "ALLOCATE", and describes the activity that actually happens in that phase (as we do for the other phases) rather than describing a state. The distinction is clearer after bugfix commit 3b8981b6 split the phase into two. As for the growth barriers, rename their "ALLOCATE" phase to "REALLOCATE", which is probably a better description of what happens then. Also improve the comments about the phases a bit.

With very unlucky timing and parallel_leader_participation off, PHJ could attempt to access per-batch state just as it was being freed. There was code intended to prevent that by checking for a cleared pointer, but it was buggy. Fix, by introducing an extra barrier phase. The new phase PHJ_BUILD_RUNNING means that it's safe to access the per-batch state to find a batch to help with, and PHJ_BUILD_DONE means that it is too late. The last to detach will free the array of per-batch state as before, but now it will also atomically advance the phase at the same time, so that late attachers can avoid the hazard, without the data race. This mirrors the way per-batch hash tables are freed (see phases PHJ_BATCH_PROBING and PHJ_BATCH_DONE). Revealed by a one-off build farm failure, where BarrierAttach() failed a sanity check assertion, because the memory had been clobbered by dsa_free(). Back-patch to 11, where the code arrived.

It seems like a useful sanity check to be able to run "installcheck" against a cluster running with default_transaction_level set to serializable or repeatable read. Only one thing currently fails in those configurations, so let's fix that. No back-patch for now, because it fails in many other places in some of the stable branches.

After reading the root cert list from the ssl_ca_file, immediately install it as client CA list of the new SSL context. That gives the SSL context ownership of the list, so that SSL_CTX_free will free it. This avoids a permanent memory leak if we fail further down in be_tls_init(), which could happen if bogus CRL data is offered. The leak could only amount to something if the CRL parameters get broken after server start (else we'd just quit) and then the server is SIGHUP'd many times without fixing the CRL data. That's rather unlikely perhaps, but it seems worth fixing, if only because the code is clearer this way. While we're here, add some comments about the memory management aspects of this logic. Noted by Jelte Fennema and independently by Andres Freund. Back-patch to v10; before commit de41869b it doesn't matter, since we'd not re-execute this code during SIGHUP.

It's hard to avoid the conclusion that there is something wrong with setjmp/longjmp on MinGW-64, as we have seen failures come and go after entirely-unrelated-looking changes in our own code. Other projects such as Ruby have given up and started using gcc's setjmp/longjmp builtins on that platform; this patch just follows that lead. Note that this is a pretty fundamental ABI break for functions containining either setjmp or longjmp, so we can't really consider a back-patch.

This commit changes WAL archiver process so that it's treated as an auxiliary process and can use shared memory. This is an infrastructure patch required for upcoming shared-memory based stats collector patch series. These patch series basically need any processes including archiver that can report the statistics to access to shared memory. Since this patch itself is useful to simplify the code and when users monitor the status of archiver, it's committed separately in advance. This commit simplifies the code for WAL archiving. For example, previously backends need to signal to archiver via postmaster when they notify archiver that there are some WAL files to archive. On the other hand, this commit removes that signal to postmaster and enables backends to notify archier directly using shared latch. Also, as the side of this change, the information about archiver process becomes viewable at pg_stat_activity view.

Consistently set a flag variable that tracks whether the current heap page has a dead item during lazy vacuum's heap scan. We missed the common case where there is an preexisting (or even a new) LP_DEAD heap line pointer. Also make it clear that the variable might be affected by an existing line pointer, say from an earlier opportunistic pruning operation. This distinction is important because it's the main reason why we can't just use the nearby tups_vacuumed variable instead. No backpatch. In theory failing to set the page level flag variable had no consequences. Currently it is only used to defensively check if a page marked all visible has dead items, which should never happen anyway (if it does then the table must be corrupt).
