      Further hacking on ICU collation creation and usage. · ddb5fdc0
      Tom Lane authored
      pg_import_system_collations() refused to create any ICU collations if
      the current database's encoding didn't support ICU.  This is wrongheaded:
      initdb must initialize pg_collation in an encoding-independent way
      since it might be used in other databases with different encodings.
      The reason for the restriction seems to be that get_icu_locale_comment()
      used icu_from_uchar() to convert the UChar-format display name, and that
      unsurprisingly doesn't know what to do in unsupported encodings.
      But by the same token that the initial catalog contents must be
      encoding-independent, we can't allow non-ASCII characters in the comment
      strings.  So we don't really need icu_from_uchar() here: just check for
      Unicode codes outside the ASCII range, and if there are none, the format
      conversion is trivial.  If there are some, we can simply not install the
      comment.  (In my testing, this affects only Norwegian Bokmål, which has
      given us trouble before.)
      
      For paranoia's sake, also check for non-ASCII characters in ICU locale
      names, and skip such locales, as we do for libc locales.  I don't
      currently have a reason to believe that this will ever reject anything,
      but then again the libc maintainers should have known better too.
      
      With just the import changes, ICU collations can be found in pg_collation
      in databases with unsupported encodings.  This resulted in more or less
      clean failures at runtime, but that's not how things act for unsupported
      encodings with libc collations.  Make it work the same as our traditional
      behavior for libc collations by having collation lookup take into account
      whether is_encoding_supported_by_icu().
      
      Adjust documentation to match.  Also, expand Table 23.1 to show which
      encodings are supported by ICU.
      
      catversion bump because of likely change in pg_collation/pg_description
      initial contents in ICU-enabled builds.

      Fix incorrect buffer-length argument to uloc_getDisplayName(). · d1fcc622
      Tom Lane authored
      The maxResultSize argument of uloc_getDisplayName is the number of
      UChars in the output buffer, not the number of bytes.  In principle
      this could result in a stack smash, although at least in my Fedora 25
      install there are no ICU locales with display names long enough to
      overrun the buffer.  But it's easily proven to be wrong by reducing
      the length of displayname to around 20, whereupon a stack smash
      does happen.
      
      (This is a rather scary bug, because the same mistake could easily
      have been made in other places; but in a quick code search looking
      at uses of UChar I could not find any other instances.)

      Rethink behavior of pg_import_system_collations(). · 0b13b2a7
      Tom Lane authored
      Marco Atzeri reported that initdb would fail if "locale -a" reported
      the same locale name more than once.  All previous versions of Postgres
      implicitly de-duplicated the results of "locale -a", but the rewrite
      to move the collation import logic into C had lost that property.
      It had also lost the property that locale names matching built-in
      collation names were silently ignored.
      
      The simplest way to fix this is to make initdb run the function in
      if-not-exists mode, which means that there's no real use-case for
      non if-not-exists mode; we might as well just drop the boolean argument
      and simplify the function's definition to be "add any collations not
      already known".  This change also gets rid of some odd corner cases
      caused by the fact that aliases were added in if-not-exists mode even
      if the function argument said otherwise.
      
      While at it, adjust the behavior so that pg_import_system_collations()
      doesn't spew "collation foo already exists, skipping" messages during a
      re-run; that's completely unhelpful, especially since there are often
      hundreds of them.  And make it return a count of the number of collations
      it did add, which seems like it might be helpful.
      
      Also, re-integrate the previous coding's property that it would make a
      deterministic selection of which alias to use if there were conflicting
      possibilities.  This would only come into play if "locale -a" reports
      multiple equivalent locale names, say "de_DE.utf8" and "de_DE.UTF-8",
      but that hardly seems out of the question.
      
      In passing, fix incorrect behavior in pg_import_system_collations()'s
      ICU code path: it neglected CommandCounterIncrement, which would result
      in failures if ICU returns duplicate names, and it would try to create
      comments even if a new collation hadn't been created.
      
      Also, reorder operations in initdb so that the 'ucs_basic' collation
      is created before calling pg_import_system_collations() not after.
      This prevents a failure if "locale -a" were to report a locale named
      that.  There's no reason to think that that ever happens in the wild,
      but the old coding would have survived it, so let's be equally robust.

      Improve replication lag interpolation after idle period · 9ea3c641

      After sitting idle and fully replayed for a while and then encountering
      a new burst of WAL activity, we interpolate between an ancient sample and the

      Fix memory leakage in ICU encoding conversion, and other code review. · b6159202
      Tom Lane authored
      Callers of icu_to_uchar() neglected to pfree the result string when done
      with it.  This results in catastrophic memory leaks in varstr_cmp(),
      because of our prevailing assumption that btree comparison functions don't
      leak memory.  For safety, make all the call sites clean up leaks, though
      I suspect that we could get away without it in formatting.c.  I audited
      callers of icu_from_uchar() as well, but found no places that seemed to
      have a comparable issue.
      
      Add function API specifications for icu_to_uchar() and icu_from_uchar();
      the lack of any thought-through specification is perhaps not unrelated
      to the existence of this bug in the first place.  Fix icu_to_uchar()
      to guarantee a nul-terminated result; although no existing caller appears
      to care, the fact that it would have been nul-terminated except in
      extreme corner cases seems ideally designed to bite someone on the rear
      someday.  Fix ucnv_fromUChars() destCapacity argument --- in the worst
      case, that could perhaps have led to a non-nul-terminated result, too.
      Fix icu_from_uchar() to have a more reasonable definition of the function
      result --- no callers are actually paying attention, so this isn't a live
      bug, but it's certainly sloppily designed.  Const-ify icu_from_uchar()'s
      input string for consistency.
      
      That is not the end of what needs to be done to these functions, but
      it's as much as I have the patience for right now.

      Add testing to detect errors of omission in "pin" dependency creation. · 8be8510c
      Tom Lane authored
      It's essential that initdb.c's setup_depend() scan each system catalog
      that could contain objects that need to have "p" (pin) entries in pg_depend
      or pg_shdepend.  Forgetting to add that, either when a catalog is first
      invented or when it first acquires DATA() entries, is an obvious bug
      hazard.  We can detect such omissions at reasonable cost by probing every
      OID-containing system catalog to see whether the lowest-numbered OID in it
      is pinned.  If so, the catalog must have been properly accounted for in
      setup_depend().  If the lowest OID is above FirstNormalObjectId then the
      catalog must have been empty at the end of initdb, so it doesn't matter.
      There are a small number of catalogs whose first entry is made later in
      initdb than setup_depend(), resulting in nonempty expected output of the
      test, but these can be manually inspected to see that they are OK.  Any
      future mistake of this ilk will manifest as a new entry in the test's
      output.
      
      Since pg_conversion is already in the test's output, add it to the set of
      catalogs scanned by setup_depend().  That has no effect today (hence, no
      catversion bump here) but it will protect us if we ever do add pin-worthy
      conversions.
      
      This test is very much like the catalog sanity checks embodied in
      opr_sanity.sql and type_sanity.sql, but testing pg_depend doesn't seem to
      fit naturally into either of those scripts' charters.  Hence, invent a new
      test script misc_sanity.sql, which can be a home for this as well as tests
      on any other catalogs we might want in future.

      Fix possibility of creating a "phantom" segment after promotion. · fb886c15
      Andres Freund authored
      When promoting a standby just after a XLOG_SWITCH record was replayed,
      and next segment(s) are already are locally available (via walsender,
      restore_command + trigger/recovery target), that segment could
      accidentally be recycled onto the past of the new timeline.  Later
      checkpointer would create a .ready file for it, assuming there was an
      error during creation, and it would get archived.  That causes trouble
      if another standby is later brought up from a basebackup from before
      the timeline creation, because it would try to read the
      segment, because XLogFileReadAnyTLI just tries all possible timelines,
      which doesn't have valid contents.  Thus replay would fail.
      
      The problem, if already occurred, can be fixed by removing the segment
      and/or having restore_command filter it out.
      
      The reason for the creation of such "phantom" segments was, that after
      an XLOG_SWITCH record the EndOfLog variable points to the beginning of
      the next segment, and RemoveXlogFile() used XLByteToPrevSeg().
      Normally RemoveXlogFile() doing so is harmless, because the last
      segment will still exist preventing InstallXLogFileSegment() from
      causing harm, but just after promotion there's no previous segment on
      the new timeline.
      
      Fix that by using XLByteToSeg() instead of XLByteToPrevSeg().

      Phase 3 of pgindent updates. · 382ceffd
      Tom Lane authored
      Don't move parenthesized lines to the left, even if that means they
      flow past the right margin.
      
      By default, BSD indent lines up statement continuation lines that are
      within parentheses so that they start just to the right of the preceding
      left parenthesis.  However, traditionally, if that resulted in the
      continuation line extending to the right of the desired right margin,
      then indent would push it left just far enough to not overrun the margin,
      if it could do so without making the continuation line start to the left of
      the current statement indent.  That makes for a weird mix of indentations
      unless one has been completely rigid about never violating the 80-column
      limit.
      
      This behavior has been pretty universally panned by Postgres developers.
      Hence, disable it with indent's new -lpl switch, so that parenthesized
      lines are always lined up with the preceding left paren.
      
      This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent
      changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

      Phase 2 of pgindent updates. · c7b8998e
      Tom Lane authored
      Change pg_bsd_indent to follow upstream rules for placement of comments
      to the right of code, and remove pgindent hack that caused comments
      following #endif to not obey the general rule.
      
      Commit e3860ffa wasn't actually using
      the published version of pg_bsd_indent, but a hacked-up version that
      tried to minimize the amount of movement of comments to the right of
      code.  The situation of interest is where such a comment has to be
      moved to the right of its default placement at column 33 because there's
      code there.  BSD indent has always moved right in units of tab stops
      in such cases --- but in the previous incarnation, indent was working
      in 8-space tab stops, while now it knows we use 4-space tabs.  So the
      net result is that in about half the cases, such comments are placed
      one tab stop left of before.  This is better all around: it leaves
      more room on the line for comment text, and it means that in such
      cases the comment uniformly starts at the next 4-space tab stop after
      the code, rather than sometimes one and sometimes two tabs after.
      
      Also, ensure that comments following #endif are indented the same
      as comments following other preprocessor commands such as #else.
      That inconsistency turns out to have been self-inflicted damage
      from a poorly-thought-through post-indent "fixup" in pgindent.
      
      This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent
      changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

      Initial pgindent run with pg_bsd_indent version 2.0. · e3860ffa
      Tom Lane authored
      The new indent version includes numerous fixes thanks to Piotr Stefaniak.
      The main changes visible in this commit are:
      
      * Nicer formatting of function-pointer declarations.
      * No longer unexpectedly removes spaces in expressions using casts,
        sizeof, or offsetof.
      * No longer wants to add a space in "struct structname *varname", as
        well as some similar cases for const- or volatile-qualified pointers.
      * Declarations using PG_USED_FOR_ASSERTS_ONLY are formatted more nicely.
      * Fixes bug where comments following declarations were sometimes placed
        with no space separating them from the code.
      * Fixes some odd decisions for comments following case labels.
      * Fixes some cases where comments following code were indented to less
        than the expected column 33.
      
      On the less good side, it now tends to put more whitespace around typedef
      names that are not listed in typedefs.list.  This might encourage us to
      put more effort into typedef name collection; it's not really a bug in
      indent itself.
      
      There are more changes coming after this round, having to do with comment
      indentation and alignment of lines appearing within parentheses.  I wanted
      to limit the size of the diffs to something that could be reviewed without
      one's eyes completely glazing over, so it seemed better to split up the
      changes as much as practical.
