      Lessen library-loading log level. · 559d5358
      Jeff Davis authored
      Previously, messages were emitted at the LOG level every time a
      backend preloaded a library. That was acceptable (though unnecessary)
      for shared_preload_libraries; but it was excessive for
      local_preload_libraries and session_preload_libraries. Reduce to
      DEBUG1.
      
      Also, there was logic in the EXEC_BACKEND case to avoid repeated
      messages for shared_preload_libraries by demoting them to
      DEBUG2. DEBUG1 seems more appropriate there, as well, so eliminate
      that special case.

      Fix new and latent bugs with errno handling in secure_read/secure_write. · 36a3be65
      Tom Lane authored
      These functions must be careful that they return the intended value of
      errno to their callers.  There were several scenarios where this might
      not happen:
      
      1. The recent SSL renegotiation patch added a hunk of code that would
      execute after setting errno.  In the first place, it's doubtful that we
      should consider renegotiation to be successfully completed after a failure,
      and in the second, there's no real guarantee that the called OpenSSL
      routines wouldn't clobber errno.  Fix by not executing that hunk except
      during success exit.
      
      2. errno was left in an unknown state in case of an unrecognized return
      code from SSL_get_error().  While this is a "can't happen" case, it seems
      like a good idea to be sure we know what would happen, so reset errno to
      ECONNRESET in such cases.  (The corresponding code in libpq's fe-secure.c
      already did this.)
      
      3. There was an (undocumented) assumption that client_read_ended() wouldn't
      change errno.  While true in the current state of the code, this seems less
      than future-proof.  Add explicit saving/restoring of errno to make sure
      that changes in the called functions won't break things.
      
      I see no need to back-patch, since #1 is new code and the other two issues
      are mostly hypothetical.
      
      Per discussion with Amit Kapila.

      SQL standard asks for allowing nested comments, while C does not. Therefore the
      two comments, while mostly similar, have to be parsed seperately.

      Defend against bad trigger definitions in contrib/lo's lo_manage() trigger. · 64d15e42
      Tom Lane authored
      This function formerly crashed if called as a statement-level trigger,
      or if a column-name argument wasn't given.
      
      In passing, add the trigger name to all error messages from the function.
      (None of them are expected cases, so this shouldn't pose any compatibility
      risk.)

      Fix array slicing of int2vector and oidvector values. · 45e02e32
      Tom Lane authored
      The previous coding labeled expressions such as pg_index.indkey[1:3] as
      being of int2vector type; which is not right because the subscript bounds
      of such a result don't, in general, satisfy the restrictions of int2vector.
      To fix, implicitly promote the result of slicing int2vector to int2[],
      or oidvector to oid[].  This is similar to what we've done with domains
      over arrays, which is a good analogy because these types are very much
      like restricted domains of the corresponding regular-array types.
      
      A side-effect is that we now also forbid array-element updates on such
      columns, eg while "update pg_index set indkey[4] = 42" would have worked
      before if you were superuser (and corrupted your catalogs irretrievably,
      no doubt) it's now disallowed.  This seems like a good thing since, again,
      some choices of subscripting would've led to results not satisfying the
      restrictions of int2vector.  The case of an array-slice update was
      rejected before, though with a different error message than you get now.
      We could make these cases work in future if we added a cast from int2[]
      to int2vector (with a cast function checking the subscript restrictions)
      but it seems unlikely that there's any value in that.
      
      Per report from Ronan Dunklau.  Back-patch to all supported branches
      because of the crash risks involved.

      Ensure _dosmaperr() actually sets errno correctly. · f145454d
      Tom Lane authored
      If logging is enabled, either ereport() or fprintf() might stomp on errno
      internally, causing this function to return the wrong result.  That might
      only end in a misleading error report, but in any code that's examining
      errno to decide what to do next, the consequences could be far graver.
      
      This has been broken since the very first version of this file in 2006
      ... it's a bit astonishing that we didn't identify this long ago.

      Fix thinko in SPI_execute_plan() calls · b7212c97
      Peter Eisentraut authored
      Two call sites were apparently thinking that the last argument of
      SPI_execute_plan() is the number of query parameters, but it is actually
      the row limit.  Change the calls to 0, since we don't care about the
      limit there.  The previous code didn't break anything, but it was still
      wrong.

      Avoid potential buffer overflow crash · 4053189d
      Peter Eisentraut authored
      A pointer to a C string was treated as a pointer to a "name" datum and
      passed to SPI_execute_plan().  This pointer would then end up being
      passed through datumCopy(), which would try to copy the entire 64 bytes
      of name data, thus running past the end of the C string.  Fix by
      converting the string to a proper name structure.

      Flatten join alias Vars before pulling up targetlist items from a subquery. · f19e92ed
      Tom Lane authored
      pullup_replace_vars()'s decisions about whether a pulled-up replacement
      expression needs to be wrapped in a PlaceHolderVar depend on the assumption
      that what looks like a Var behaves like a Var.  However, if the Var is a
      join alias reference, later flattening of join aliases might replace the
      Var with something that's not a Var at all, and should have been wrapped.
      
      To fix, do a forcible pass of flatten_join_alias_vars() on the subquery
      targetlist before we start to copy items out of it.  We'll re-run that
      processing on the pulled-up expressions later, but that's harmless.
      
      Per report from Ken Tanzer; the added regression test case is based on his
      example.  This bug has been there since the PlaceHolderVar mechanism was
      invented, but has escaped detection because the circumstances that trigger
      it are fairly narrow.  You need a flattenable query underneath an outer
      join, which contains another flattenable query inside a join of its own,
      with a dangerous expression (a constant or something else non-strict)
      in that one's targetlist.
      
      Having seen this, I'm wondering if it wouldn't be prudent to do all
      alias-variable flattening earlier, perhaps even in the rewriter.
      But that would probably not be a back-patchable change.

      Fix Hot-Standby initialization of clog and subtrans. · 98f58a30
      Heikki Linnakangas authored
      These bugs can cause data loss on standbys started with hot_standby=on at
      the moment they start to accept read only queries, by marking committed
      transactions as uncommited. The likelihood of such corruptions is small
      unless the primary has a high transaction rate.
      
      5a031a55 fixed bugs in HS's startup logic
      by maintaining less state until at least STANDBY_SNAPSHOT_PENDING state
      was reached, missing the fact that both clog and subtrans are written to
      before that. This only failed to fail in common cases because the usage
      of ExtendCLOG in procarray.c was superflous since clog extensions are
      actually WAL logged.
      
      f44eedc3f0f347a856eea8590730769125964597/I then tried to fix the missing
      extensions of pg_subtrans due to the former commit's changes - which are
      not WAL logged - by performing the extensions when switching to a state
      > STANDBY_INITIALIZED and not performing xid assignments before that -
      again missing the fact that ExtendCLOG is unneccessary - but screwed up
      twice: Once because latestObservedXid wasn't updated anymore in that
      state due to the earlier commit and once by having an off-by-one error in
      the loop performing extensions. This means that whenever a
      CLOG_XACTS_PER_PAGE (32768 with default settings) boundary was crossed
      between the start of the checkpoint recovery started from and the first
      xl_running_xact record old transactions commit bits in pg_clog could be
      overwritten if they started and committed in that window.
      
      Fix this mess by not performing ExtendCLOG() in HS at all anymore since
      it's unneeded and evidently dangerous and by performing subtrans
      extensions even before reaching STANDBY_SNAPSHOT_PENDING.

      Avoid acquiring spinlock when checking if recovery has finished, for speed. · 1a3d1044
      Heikki Linnakangas authored
      RecoveryIsInProgress() can be called very frequently. During normal
      operation, it just checks a backend-local variable and returns quickly,
      but during hot standby, it checks a spinlock-protected shared variable.
      Those spinlock acquisitions can become a point of contention on a busy
      hot standby system.
      
      Replace the spinlock acquisition with a memory barrier.

      Support multi-argument UNNEST(), and TABLE() syntax for multiple functions. · 784e762e
      Tom Lane authored
      This patch adds the ability to write TABLE( function1(), function2(), ...)
      as a single FROM-clause entry.  The result is the concatenation of the
      first row from each function, followed by the second row from each
      function, etc; with NULLs inserted if any function produces fewer rows than
      others.  This is believed to be a much more useful behavior than what
      Postgres currently does with multiple SRFs in a SELECT list.
      
      This syntax also provides a reasonable way to combine use of column
      definition lists with WITH ORDINALITY: put the column definition list
      inside TABLE(), where it's clear that it doesn't control the ordinality
      column as well.
      
      Also implement SQL-compliant multiple-argument UNNEST(), by turning
      UNNEST(a,b,c) into TABLE(unnest(a), unnest(b), unnest(c)).
      
      The SQL standard specifies TABLE() with only a single function, not
      multiple functions, and it seems to require an implicit UNNEST() which is
      not what this patch does.  There may be something wrong with that reading
      of the spec, though, because if it's right then the spec's TABLE() is just
      a pointless alternative spelling of UNNEST().  After further review of
      that, we might choose to adopt a different syntax for what this patch does,
      but in any case this functionality seems clearly worthwhile.

      Fix pg_isready to handle -d option properly. · 38f43289

      Previously, -d option for pg_isready was broken. When the name of the

      Heikki Linnakangas authored
      Split off the portion of ginInsertValue that inserts the tuple to current

      This is in preparation for a patch to change the way incomplete splits are
