      Remove the new UPSERT command tag and use INSERT instead. · 631d7490
      Andres Freund authored
      Previously, INSERT with ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE specified used a new
      command tag -- UPSERT.  It was introduced out of concern that INSERT as
      a command tag would be a misrepresentation for ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE, as
      some affected rows may actually have been updated.
      
      Alvaro Herrera noticed that the implementation of that new command tag
      was incomplete; in subsequent discussion we concluded that having it
      doesn't provide benefits that are in line with the compatibility breaks
      it requires.
      
      Catversion bump due to the removal of PlannedStmt->isUpsert.

      Fix recently-introduced crash in array_contain_compare(). · 49ad32d5
      Tom Lane authored
      Silly oversight in commit 1dc5ebc9:
      when array2 is an expanded array, it might have array2->xpn.dnulls equal
      to NULL, indicating the array is known null-free.  The code wasn't
      expecting that, because it formerly always used deconstruct_array() which
      always delivers a nulls array.
      
      Per bug #13334 from Regina Obe.

      Unpack jbvBinary objects passed to pushJsonbValue · 5302760a
      Andrew Dunstan authored
      pushJsonbValue was accepting jbvBinary objects passed as WJB_ELEM or
      WJB_VALUE data. While this succeeded, when those objects were later
      encountered in attempting to convert the result to Jsonb, errors
      occurred. With this change we ghuarantee that a JSonbValue constructed
      from calls to pushJsonbValue does not contain any jbvBinary objects.
      This cures a problem observed with jsonb_delete.
      
      This means callers of pushJsonbValue no longer need to perform this
      unpacking themselves. A subsequent patch will perform some cleanup in
      that area.
      
      The error was not triggered by any 9.4 code, but this is a publicly
      visible routine, and so the error could be exercised by third party
      code, therefore backpatch to 9.4.
      
      Bug report from Peter Geoghegan, fix by me.

      At promotion, don't leave behind a partial segment on the old timeline. · 7cbee7c0
      Heikki Linnakangas authored
      With commit de768844, a copy of the partial segment was archived with the
      .partial suffix, but the original file was still left in pg_xlog, so it
      didn't actually solve the problems with archiving the partial segment that
      it was supposed to solve. With this patch, the partial segment is renamed
      rather than copied, so we only archive it with the .partial suffix.
      
      Also be more robust in detecting if the last segment is already being
      archived. Previously I used XLogArchiveIsBusy() for that, but that's not
      quite right. With archive_mode='always', there might be a .ready file for
      it, and we don't want to rename it to .partial in that case.
      
      The old segment is needed until we're fully committed to the new timeline,
      i.e. until we've written the end-of-recovery WAL record and updated the
      min recovery point and timeline in the control file. So move the renaming
      later in the startup sequence, after all that's been done.

      More fixes for lossy-GiST-distance-functions patch. · c5dd8ead
      Tom Lane authored
      Paul Ramsey reported that commit 35fcb1b3
      induced a core dump on commuted ORDER BY expressions, because it was
      assuming that the indexorderby expression could be found verbatim in the
      relevant equivalence class, but it wasn't there.  We really don't need
      anything that complicated anyway; for the data types likely to be used for
      index ORDER BY operators in the foreseeable future, the exprType() of the
      ORDER BY expression will serve fine.  (The case where we'd have to work
      harder is where the ORDER BY expression's result is only binary-compatible
      with the declared input type of the ordering operator; long before worrying
      about that, one would need to get rid of GiST's hard-wired assumption that
      said datatype is float8.)
      
      Aside from fixing that crash and adding a regression test for the case,
      I did some desultory code review:
      
      nodeIndexscan.c was likewise overthinking how hard it ought to work to
      identify the datatype of the ORDER BY expressions.
      
      Add comments explaining how come nodeIndexscan.c can get away with
      simplifying assumptions about NULLS LAST ordering and no backward scan.

      Improve packing/alignment annotation for ItemPointerData. · d4b538ea
      Tom Lane authored
      We want this struct to be exactly a series of 3 int16 words, no more
      and no less.  Historically, at least, some ARM compilers preferred to
      pad it to 8 bytes unless coerced.  Our old way of doing that was just
      to use __attribute__((packed)), but as pointed out by Piotr Stefaniak,
      that does too much: it also licenses the compiler to give the struct
      only byte-alignment.  We don't want that because it adds access overhead,
      possibly quite significant overhead.  According to the GCC manual, what
      we want requires also specifying __attribute__((align(2))).  It's not
      entirely clear if all the relevant compilers accept this pragma as well,
      but we can hope the buildfarm will tell us if not.  We can also add a
      static assertion that should fire if the compiler padded the struct.
      
      Since the combination of these pragmas should define exactly what we
      want on any compiler that accepts them, let's try using them wherever
      we think they exist, not only for __arm__.  (This is likely to expose
      that the conditional definitions in c.h are inadequate, but finding
      that out would be a good thing.)
      
      The immediate motivation for this is that the current definition of
      ExecRowMark allows its curCtid field to be misaligned.  It is not clear
      whether there are any other uses of ItemPointerData with a similar hazard.
      We could change the definition of ExecRowMark if this doesn't work, but
      it would be far better to have a future-proof fix.

      Make recovery_target_action = pause work. · 85d0e661
      Fujii Masao authored
      Previously even if recovery_target_action was set to pause and
      the recovery target was reached, the recovery could never be paused.
      Because the setting of pause was *always* overridden with that of
      shutdown unexpectedly. This override is valid and intentional
      if hot_standby is not enabled because there is no way to resume
      the paused recovery in this case and the setting of pause is
      completely useless. But not if hot_standby is enabled.
      
      This patch changes the code so that the setting of pause is overridden
      with that of shutdown only when hot_standby is not enabled.

      Collection of typo fixes. · 4fc72cc7
      Heikki Linnakangas authored
      Use "a" and "an" correctly, mostly in comments. Two error messages were
      also fixed (they were just elogs, so no translation work required). Two
      function comments in pg_proc.h were also fixed. Etsuro Fujita reported one
      of these, but I found a lot more with grep.
      
      Also fix a few other typos spotted while grepping for the a/an typos.
      For example, "consists out of ..." -> "consists of ...". Plus a "though"/
      "through" mixup reported by Euler Taveira.
      
      Many of these typos were in old code, which would be nice to backpatch to
      make future backpatching easier. But much of the code was new, and I didn't
      feel like crafting separate patches for each branch. So no backpatching.

      Revert error-throwing wrappers for the printf family of functions. · 0c071936
      Tom Lane authored
      This reverts commit 16304a01, except
      for its changes in src/port/snprintf.c; as well as commit
      cac18a76 which is no longer needed.
      
      Fujii Masao reported that the previous commit caused failures in psql on
      OS X, since if one exits the pager program early while viewing a query
      result, psql sees an EPIPE error from fprintf --- and the wrapper function
      thought that was reason to panic.  (It's a bit surprising that the same
      does not happen on Linux.)  Further discussion among the security list
      concluded that the risk of other such failures was far too great, and
      that the one-size-fits-all approach to error handling embodied in the
      previous patch is unlikely to be workable.
      
      This leaves us again exposed to the possibility of the type of failure
      envisioned in CVE-2015-3166.  However, that failure mode is strictly
      hypothetical at this point: there is no concrete reason to believe that
      an attacker could trigger information disclosure through the supposed
      mechanism.  In the first place, the attack surface is fairly limited,
      since so much of what the backend does with format strings goes through
      stringinfo.c or psprintf(), and those already had adequate defenses.
      In the second place, even granting that an unprivileged attacker could
      control the occurrence of ENOMEM with some precision, it's a stretch to
      believe that he could induce it just where the target buffer contains some
      valuable information.  So we concluded that the risk of non-hypothetical
      problems induced by the patch greatly outweighs the security risks.
      We will therefore revert, and instead undertake closer analysis to
      identify specific calls that may need hardening, rather than attempt a
      universal solution.
      
      We have kept the portion of the previous patch that improved snprintf.c's
      handling of errors when it calls the platform's sprintf().  That seems to
      be an unalloyed improvement.

      Refactor ON CONFLICT index inference parse tree representation. · 0740cbd7
      Andres Freund authored
      Defer lookup of opfamily and input type of a of a user specified opclass
      until the optimizer selects among available unique indexes; and store
      the opclass in the parse analyzed tree instead.  The primary reason for
      doing this is that for rule deparsing it's easier to use the opclass
      than the previous representation.
      
      While at it also rename a variable in the inference code to better fit
      it's purpose.
      
      This is separate from the actual fixes for deparsing to make review
      easier.

      Fix off-by-one error in Assertion. · b48437d1
      Heikki Linnakangas authored
      The point of the assertion is to ensure that the arrays allocated in stack
      are large enough, but the check was one item short.
      
      This won't matter in practice because MaxIndexTuplesPerPage is an
      overestimate, so you can't have that many items on a page in reality.
      But let's be tidy.

      Avoid collation dependence in indexes of system catalogs. · 0b28ea79
      Tom Lane authored
      No index in template0 should have collation-dependent ordering, especially
      not indexes on shared catalogs.  For most textual columns we avoid this
      issue by using type "name" (which sorts per strcmp()).  However there are a
      few indexed columns that we'd prefer to use "text" for, and for that, the
      default opclass text_ops is unsafe.  Fortunately, text_pattern_ops is safe
      (it sorts per memcmp()), and it has no real functional disadvantage for our
      purposes.  So change the indexes on pg_seclabel.provider and
      pg_shseclabel.provider to use text_pattern_ops.
      
      In passing, also mark pg_replication_origin.roname as using
      text_pattern_ops --- for some reason it was labeled varchar_pattern_ops
      which is just wrong, even though it accidentally worked.
      
      Add regression test queries to catch future errors of these kinds.
      
      We still can't do anything about the misdeclared pg_seclabel and
      pg_shseclabel indexes in back branches :-(
