      Correctly set up aggregate FILTER expression in partial-aggregation plans. · 6d85bb1b
      Tom Lane authored
      The aggfilter expression should be removed from the parent (combining)
      Aggref, since it's not supposed to apply the filter, and indeed cannot
      because any Vars used in the filter would not be available after the
      lower-level aggregation step.  Per report from Jeff Janes.
      
      (This has been broken since the introduction of partial aggregation,
      I think.  The error became obvious after commit 59a3795c, when setrefs.c
      began processing the parent Aggref's fields normally and thus would detect
      such Vars.  The special-case coding previously used in setrefs.c skipped
      over the parent's aggfilter field without processing it.  That was broken
      in its own way because no other setrefs.c processing got applied either;
      though since the executor would not execute the filter expression, only
      initialize it, that oversight might not have had any visible symptoms at
      present.)

      allow removal of a variant expected-file).
      
      Also, in citext, avoid assuming that lower('I') = 'i'.  This isn't relevant

      Clear all-frozen visibilitymap status when locking tuples. · eca0f1db
      Andres Freund authored
      Since a892234f & fd31cd26 the visibilitymap's freeze bit is used to
      avoid vacuuming the whole relation in anti-wraparound vacuums. Doing so
      correctly relies on not adding xids to the heap without also unsetting
      the visibilitymap flag.  Tuple locking related code has not done so.
      
      To allow selectively resetting all-frozen - to avoid pessimizing
      heap_lock_tuple - allow to selectively reset the all-frozen with
      visibilitymap_clear(). To avoid having to use
      visibilitymap_get_status (e.g. via VM_ALL_FROZEN) inside a critical
      section, have visibilitymap_clear() return whether any bits have been
      reset.
      
      There's a remaining issue (denoted by XXX): After the PageIsAllVisible()
      check in heap_lock_tuple() and heap_lock_updated_tuple_rec() the page
      status could theoretically change. Practically that currently seems
      impossible, because updaters will hold a page level pin already.  Due to
      the next beta coming up, it seems better to get the required WAL magic
      bump done before resolving this issue.
      
      The added flags field fields to xl_heap_lock and xl_heap_lock_updated
      require bumping the WAL magic. Since there's already been a catversion
      bump since the last beta, that's not an issue.

      Establish conventions about global object names used in regression tests. · 18555b13
      Tom Lane authored
      To ensure that "make installcheck" can be used safely against an existing
      installation, we need to be careful about what global object names
      (database, role, and tablespace names) we use; otherwise we might
      accidentally clobber important objects.  There's been a weak consensus that
      test databases should have names including "regression", and that test role
      names should start with "regress_", but we didn't have any particular rule
      about tablespace names; and neither of the other rules was followed with
      any consistency either.
      
      This commit moves us a long way towards having a hard-and-fast rule that
      regression test databases must have names including "regression", and that
      test role and tablespace names must start with "regress_".  It's not
      completely there because I did not touch some test cases in rolenames.sql
      that test creation of special role names like "session_user".  That will
      require some rethinking of exactly what we want to test, whereas the intent
      of this patch is just to hit all the cases in which the needed renamings
      are cosmetic.
      
      There is no enforcement mechanism in this patch either, but if we don't
      add one we can expect that the tests will soon be violating the convention
      again.  Again, that's not such a cosmetic change and it will require
      discussion.  (But I did use a quick-hack enforcement patch to find these
      cases.)

      On second thought, we should probably do at least a minimal check that

      We've broken this code path at least twice in the past, so it's prudent
      to have a test case that covers it.  To allow exercising the code path
      without creating a very large (and slow to run) test case, redefine the
      sort threshold to be bounded by maintenance_work_mem as well as the number
      of available buffers.  While at it, fix an ancient oversight that when
      building a temp index, the number of available buffers is not NBuffers but
      NLocBuffer.  Also, if assertions are enabled, apply a direct test that the
      sort actually does return the tuples in the expected order.

      Fix torn-page, unlogged xid and further risks from heap_update(). · bfa2ab56
      Andres Freund authored
      When heap_update needs to look for a page for the new tuple version,
      because the current one doesn't have sufficient free space, or when
      columns have to be processed by the tuple toaster, it has to release the
      lock on the old page during that. Otherwise there'd be lock ordering and
      lock nesting issues.
      
      To avoid concurrent sessions from trying to update / delete / lock the
      tuple while the page's content lock is released, the tuple's xmax is set
      to the current session's xid.
      
      That unfortunately was done without any WAL logging, thereby violating
      the rule that no XIDs may appear on disk, without an according WAL
      record.  If the database were to crash / fail over when the page level
      lock is released, and some activity lead to the page being written out
      to disk, the xid could end up being reused; potentially leading to the
      row becoming invisible.
      
      There might be additional risks by not having t_ctid point at the tuple
      itself, without having set the appropriate lock infomask fields.
      
      To fix, compute the appropriate xmax/infomask combination for locking
      the tuple, and perform WAL logging using the existing XLOG_HEAP_LOCK
      record. That allows the fix to be backpatched.
      
      This issue has existed for a long time. There appears to have been
      partial attempts at preventing dangers, but these never have fully been
      implemented, and were removed a long time ago, in
      11919160 (cf. HEAP_XMAX_UNLOGGED).
      
      In master / 9.6, there's an additional issue, namely that the
      visibilitymap's freeze bit isn't reset at that point yet. Since that's a
      new issue, introduced only in a892234f, that'll be fixed in a
      separate commit.

      Luckily that's not problematic in the majority of cases, because after a

      not hold true in the presence of prepared transactions. This means that

      Avoid invalidating all foreign-join cached plans when user mappings change. · 45639a05
      Tom Lane authored
      We must not push down a foreign join when the foreign tables involved
      should be accessed under different user mappings.  Previously we tried
      to enforce that rule literally during planning, but that meant that the
      resulting plans were dependent on the current contents of the
      pg_user_mapping catalog, and we had to blow away all cached plans
      containing any remote join when anything at all changed in pg_user_mapping.
      This could have been improved somewhat, but the fact that a syscache inval
      callback has very limited info about what changed made it hard to do better
      within that design.  Instead, let's change the planner to not consider user
      mappings per se, but to allow a foreign join if both RTEs have the same
      checkAsUser value.  If they do, then they necessarily will use the same
      user mapping at runtime, and we don't need to know specifically which one
      that is.  Post-plan-time changes in pg_user_mapping no longer require any
      plan invalidation.
      
      This rule does give up some optimization ability, to wit where two foreign
      table references come from views with different owners or one's from a view
      and one's directly in the query, but nonetheless the same user mapping
      would have applied.  We'll sacrifice the first case, but to not regress
      more than we have to in the second case, allow a foreign join involving
      both zero and nonzero checkAsUser values if the nonzero one is the same as
      the prevailing effective userID.  In that case, mark the plan as only
      runnable by that userID.
      
      The plancache code already had a notion of plans being userID-specific,
      in order to support RLS.  It was a little confused though, in particular
      lacking clarity of thought as to whether it was the rewritten query or just
      the finished plan that's dependent on the userID.  Rearrange that code so
      that it's clearer what depends on which, and so that the same logic applies
      to both RLS-injected role dependency and foreign-join-injected role
      dependency.
      
      Note that this patch doesn't remove the other issue mentioned in the
      original complaint, which is that while we'll reliably stop using a foreign
      join if it's disallowed in a new context, we might fail to start using a
      foreign join if it's now allowed, but we previously created a generic
      cached plan that didn't use one.  It was agreed that the chance of winning
      that way was not high enough to justify the much larger number of plan
      invalidations that would have to occur if we tried to cause it to happen.
      
      In passing, clean up randomly-varying spelling of EXPLAIN commands in
      postgres_fdw.sql, and fix a COSTS ON example that had been allowed to
      leak into the committed tests.
      
      This reverts most of commits fbe5a3fb and 5d4171d1, which were the
      previous attempt at ensuring we wouldn't push down foreign joins that
      span permissions contexts.

      Avoid serializability errors when locking a tuple with a committed update · 533e9c6b
      Alvaro Herrera authored
      When key-share locking a tuple that has been not-key-updated, and the
      update is a committed transaction, in some cases we raised
      serializability errors:
          ERROR:  could not serialize access due to concurrent update
      
      Because the key-share doesn't conflict with the update, the error is
      unnecessary and inconsistent with the case that the update hasn't
      committed yet.  This causes problems for some usage patterns, even if it
      can be claimed that it's sufficient to retry the aborted transaction:
      given a steady stream of updating transactions and a long locking
      transaction, the long transaction can be starved indefinitely despite
      multiple retries.
      
      To fix, we recognize that HeapTupleSatisfiesUpdate can return
      HeapTupleUpdated when an updating transaction has committed, and that we
      need to deal with that case exactly as if it were a non-committed
      update: verify whether the two operations conflict, and if not, carry on
      normally.  If they do conflict, however, there is a difference: in the
      HeapTupleBeingUpdated case we can just sleep until the concurrent
      transaction is gone, while in the HeapTupleUpdated case this is not
      possible and we must raise an error instead.
      
      Per trouble report from Olivier Dony.
      
      In addition to a couple of test cases that verify the changed behavior,
      I added a test case to verify the behavior that remains unchanged,
      namely that errors are raised when a update that modifies the key is
      used.  That must still generate serializability errors.  One
      pre-existing test case changes behavior; per discussion, the new
      behavior is actually the desired one.

      Fix parsing NOT sequence in tsquery · 00f304ce
      Teodor Sigaev authored
      Digging around bug #14245 I found that commit
      6734a1ca missed that NOT operation is
      right associative in opposite to all other. This miss is resposible for
      tsquery parser fail on sequence of NOT operations

      Fix nested NOT operation cleanup in tsquery. · 19d29015
      Teodor Sigaev authored
      During normalization of tsquery tree it tries to simplify nested NOT
      operations but there it's obvioulsy missed that subsequent node could be
      a leaf node (value node)

      Fix GiST index build for NaN values in geometric types. · 1acf7572
      Tom Lane authored
      GiST index build could go into an infinite loop when presented with boxes
      (or points, circles or polygons) containing NaN component values.  This
      happened essentially because the code assumed that x == x is true for any
      "double" value x; but it's not true for NaNs.  The looping behavior was not
      the only problem though: we also attempted to sort the items using simple
      double comparisons.  Since NaNs violate the trichotomy law, qsort could
      (in principle at least) get arbitrarily confused and mess up the sorting of
      ordinary values as well as NaNs.  And we based splitting choices on box size
      calculations that could produce NaNs, again resulting in undesirable
      behavior.
      
      To fix, replace all comparisons of doubles in this logic with
      float8_cmp_internal, which is NaN-aware and is careful to sort NaNs
      consistently, higher than any non-NaN.  Also rearrange the box size
      calculation to not produce NaNs; instead it should produce an infinity
      for a box with NaN on one side and not-NaN on the other.
      
      I don't by any means claim that this solves all problems with NaNs in
      geometric values, but it should at least make GiST index insertion work
      reliably with such data.  It's likely that the index search side of things
      still needs some work, and probably regular geometric operations too.
      But with this patch we're laying down a convention for how such cases
      ought to behave.
      
      Per bug #14238 from Guang-Dih Lei.  Back-patch to 9.2; the code used before
      commit 7f3bd868 is quite different and doesn't lock up on my simple
      test case, nor on the submitter's dataset.

      Remove reference to range mode in pg_xlogdump error · 00e0b67a
      Magnus Hagander authored
      pg_xlogdump doesn't have any other mode, so it's just confusing to
      include this in the error message as it indicates there might be another
      mode.

      Dept of second thoughts: given the RESET SESSION AUTHORIZATION that

      that used to be here.  Might as well buy back a few microseconds.
