* Add support for ICU 4.2Peter Eisentraut2017-08-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Supporting ICU 4.2 seems useful because it ships with CentOS 6. Versions before ICU 4.6 don't support pkg-config, so document an installation method without using pkg-config. In ICU 4.2, ucol_getKeywordsForLocale() sometimes returns values that will not be accepted by uloc_toLanguageTag(). Skip loading keyword variants in that version.

* hash: Immediately after a bucket split, try to clean the old bucket.Robert Haas2017-08-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | If it works, then we won't be storing two copies of all the tuples that were just moved. If not, VACUUM will still take care of it eventually. Per a report from AP and analysis from Amit Kapila, it seems that a bulk load can cause splits fast enough that VACUUM won't deal with the problem in time to prevent bloat.

* hash: Increase the number of possible overflow bitmaps by 8x.Robert Haas2017-08-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Per a report from AP, it's not that hard to exhaust the supply of bitmap pages if you create a table with a hash index and then insert a few billion rows - and then you start getting errors when you try to insert additional rows. In the particular case reported by AP, there's another fix that we can make to improve recycling of overflow pages, which is another way to avoid the error, but there may be other cases where this problem happens and that fix won't help. So let's buy ourselves as much headroom as we can without rearchitecting anything. The comments claim that the old limit was 64GB, but it was really only 32GB, because we didn't use all the bits in the page for bitmap bits - only the largest power of 2 that could fit after deducting space for the page header and so forth. Thus, we have 4kB per page for bitmap bits, not 8kB. The new limit is thus actually 8 times the old *real* limit but only 4 times the old *purported* limit. Since this breaks on-disk compatibility, bump HASH_VERSION. We've already done this earlier in this release cycle, so this doesn't cause any incremental inconvenience for people using pg_upgrade from releases prior to v10. However, users who use pg_upgrade to reach 10beta3 or later from 10beta2 or earlier will need to REINDEX any hash indexes again.

* Apply ALTER ... SET NOT NULL recursively in ALTER ... ADD PRIMARY KEY.Tom Lane2017-08-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If you do ALTER COLUMN SET NOT NULL against an inheritance parent table, it will recurse to mark all the child columns as NOT NULL as well. This is necessary for consistency: if the column is labeled NOT NULL then reading it should never produce nulls. However, that didn't happen in the case where ALTER ... ADD PRIMARY KEY marks a target column NOT NULL that wasn't before. That was questionable from the beginning, and now Tushar Ahuja points out that it can lead to dump/restore failures in some cases. So let's make that case recurse too. Although this is meant to fix a bug, it's enough of a behavioral change that I'm pretty hesitant to back-patch, especially in view of the lack of similar field complaints. It doesn't seem to be too late to put it into v10 though. Michael Paquier, editorialized on slightly by me Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/b8794d6a-38f0-9d7c-ad4b-e85adf860fc9@enterprisedb.com
* Disallow SSL session tickets.Tom Lane2017-08-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We don't actually support session tickets, since we do not create an SSL session identifier. But it seems that OpenSSL will issue a session ticket on-demand anyway, which will then fail when used. This results in reconnection failures when using ticket-aware client-side SSL libraries (such as the Npgsql .NET driver), as reported by Shay Rojansky. To fix, just tell OpenSSL not to issue tickets. At some point in the far future, we might consider enabling tickets instead. But the security implications of that aren't entirely clear; and besides it would have little benefit except for very short-lived database connections, which is Something We're Bad At anyhow. It would take a lot of other work to get to a point where that would really be an exciting thing to do. While at it, also tell OpenSSL not to use a session cache. This doesn't really do anything, since a backend would never populate the cache anyway, but it might gain some micro-efficiencies and/or reduce security exposures. Patch by me, per discussion with Heikki Linnakangas and Shay Rojansky. Back-patch to all supported versions.

* Fix pg_dump/pg_restore to emit REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW commands last.Tom Lane2017-08-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because we push all ACL (i.e. GRANT/REVOKE) restore steps to the end, materialized view refreshes were occurring while the permissions on referenced objects were still at defaults. This led to failures if, say, an MV owned by user A reads from a table owned by user B, even if B had granted the necessary privileges to A. We've had multiple complaints about that type of restore failure, most recently from Jordan Gigov. The ideal fix for this would be to start treating ACLs as dependency- sortable objects, rather than hard-wiring anything about their dump order (the existing approach is a messy kluge dating to commit dc0e76ca3). But that's going to be a rather major change, and it certainly wouldn't lead to a back-patchable fix. As a short-term solution, convert the existing two-pass hack (ie, normal objects then ACLs) to a three-pass hack, ie, normal objects then ACLs then matview refreshes. Because this happens in RestoreArchive(), it will also fix the problem when restoring from an existing archive-format dump. (Note this means that if a matview refresh would have failed under the permissions prevailing at dump time, it'll fail during restore as well. We'll define that as user error rather than something we should try to work around.) To avoid performance loss in parallel restore, we need the matview refreshes to still be parallelizable. Hence, clean things up enough so that both ACLs and matviews are handled by the parallel restore infrastructure, instead of reverting back to serial restore for ACLs. There is still a final serial step, but it shouldn't normally have to do anything; it's only there to try to recover if we get stuck due to some problem like unresolved circular dependencies. Patch by me, but it owes something to an earlier attempt by Kevin Grittner. Back-patch to 9.3 where materialized views were introduced. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/28572.1500912583@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Fix build on zlib-less environmentsAlvaro Herrera2017-08-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 4d57e8381677 added support for getting I/O errors out of zlib, but it introduced a portability problem for systems without zlib. Repair by wrapping the zlib call inside #ifdef and restore the original code in the other branch. This serves to illustrate the inadequacy of the zlib abstraction in pg_backup_archiver: there is no way to call gzerror() in that abstraction. This means that the several places that call GZREAD and GZWRITE are currently doing error reporting wrongly, but ENOTIME to get it fixed before next week's release set. Backpatch to 9.4, like the commit that introduced the problem.

* Allow a foreign table CHECK constraint to be initially NOT VALID.Robert Haas2017-08-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | For a table, the constraint can be considered validated immediately, because the table must be empty. But for a foreign table this is not necessarily the case.

* Fix pg_dump's errno checking for zlib I/OAlvaro Herrera2017-08-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some error reports were reporting strerror(errno), which for some error conditions coming from zlib are wrong, resulting in confusing reports such as pg_restore: [compress_io] could not read from input file: Success which makes no sense. To correctly extract the error message we need to use gzerror(), so let's do that. This isn't as comprehensive or as neat as I would like, but at least it should improve things in many common cases. The zlib abstraction in compress_io does not seem to be applied consistently enough; we could perhaps improve that, but it seems master-only material, not a bug fix for back-patching. This problem goes back all the way, but I decided to apply back to 9.4 only, because older branches don't contain commit 14ea89366 which this change depends on.

* Remove broken and useless entry-count printing in HASH_DEBUG code.Tom Lane2017-08-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | init_htab(), with #define HASH_DEBUG, prints a bunch of hashtable parameters. It used to also print nentries, but commit 44ca4022f changed that to "hash_get_num_entries(hctl)", which is wrong (the parameter should be "hashp"). Rather than correct the coding, though, let's just remove that field from the printout. The table must be empty, since we just finished building it, so expensively calculating the number of entries is rather pointless. Moreover hash_get_num_entries makes assumptions (about not needing locks) which we could do without in debugging code. Noted by Choi Doo-Won in bug #14764. Back-patch to 9.6 where the faulty code was introduced. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20170802032353.8424.12274@wrigleys.postgresql.org

* Remove duplicate setting of SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option.Tom Lane2017-08-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | Commit c0a15e07c moved the setting of OpenSSL's SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option into a new subroutine initialize_dh(), but forgot to remove it from where it was. SSL_CTX_set_options() is a trivial function, amounting indeed to just "ctx->options |= op", hence there's no reason to contort the code or break separation of concerns to avoid calling it twice. So separating the DH setup from disabling of old protocol versions is a good change, but we need to finish the job. Noted while poking into the question of SSL session tickets.

| | | | | | | | | | The buildfarm is still showing at least three distinct behaviors for a bad locale name in CREATE COLLATION.

* Second try at getting useful errors out of newlocale/_create_locale.Tom Lane2017-08-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The early buildfarm returns for commit 1e165d05f are pretty awful: not only does Windows not return a useful error, but it looks like a lot of Unix-ish platforms don't either. Given the number of different errnos seen so far, guess that what's really going on is that some newlocale() implementations fail to set errno at all. Hence, let's try zeroing errno just before newlocale() and then if it's still zero report as though it's ENOENT. That should cover the Windows case too. It's clear that we'll have to drop the regression test case, unless we want to maintain a separate expected-file for platforms without HAVE_LOCALE_T. But I'll leave it there awhile longer to see if this actually improves matters or not. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAKKotZS-wcDcofXDCH=sidiuajE+nqHn2CGjLLX78anyDmi3gQ@mail.gmail.com
* Suppress less info in regression tests using DROP CASCADE.Tom Lane2017-08-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | DROP CASCADE doesn't currently promise to visit dependent objects in a fixed order, so when the regression tests use it, we typically need to suppress the details of which objects get dropped in order to have predictable test output. Traditionally we've done that by setting client_min_messages higher than NOTICE, but there's a better way: we can "\set VERBOSITY terse" in psql. That suppresses the DETAIL message with the object list, but we still get the basic notice telling how many objects were dropped. So at least the test case can verify that the expected number of objects were dropped. The VERBOSITY method was already in use in a few places, but run around and use it wherever it makes sense.

* Try to deliver a sane message for _create_locale() failure on Windows.Tom Lane2017-08-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We were just printing errno, which is certainly not gonna work on Windows. Now, it's not entirely clear from Microsoft's documentation whether _create_locale() adheres to standard Windows error reporting conventions, but let's assume it does and try to map the GetLastError result to an errno. If this turns out not to work, probably the best thing to do will be to assume the error is always ENOENT on Windows. This is a longstanding bug, but given the lack of previous field complaints, I'm not excited about back-patching it. Per report from Murtuza Zabuawala.

* Allow creation of C/POSIX collations without depending on libc behavior.Tom Lane2017-08-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Most of our collations code has special handling for the locale names "C" and "POSIX", allowing those collations to be used whether or not the system libraries think those locale names are valid, or indeed whether said libraries even have any locale support. But we missed handling things that way in CREATE COLLATION. This meant you couldn't clone the C/POSIX collations, nor explicitly define a new collation using those locale names, unless the libraries allow it. That's pretty pointless, as well as being a violation of pg_newlocale_from_collation's API specification. The practical effect of this change is quite limited: it allows creating such collations even on platforms that don't HAVE_LOCALE_T, and it allows making "POSIX" collation objects on Windows, which before this would only let you make "C" collation objects. Hence, even though this is a bug fix IMO, it doesn't seem worth the trouble to back-patch. In passing, suppress the DROP CASCADE detail messages at the end of the collation regression test. I'm surprised we've never been bit by message ordering issues there. Per report from Murtuza Zabuawala.

* Always use 2048 bit DH parameters for OpenSSL ephemeral DH ciphers.Heikki Linnakangas2017-07-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1024 bits is considered weak these days, but OpenSSL always passes 1024 as the key length to the tmp_dh callback. All the code to handle other key lengths is, in fact, dead. To remedy those issues: * Only include hard-coded 2048-bit parameters. * Set the parameters directly with SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh(), without the callback * The name of the file containing the DH parameters is now a GUC. This replaces the old hardcoded "dh1024.pem" filename. (The files for other key lengths, dh512.pem, dh2048.pem, etc. were never actually used.) This is not a new problem, but it doesn't seem worth the risk and churn to backport. If you care enough about the strength of the DH parameters on old versions, you can create custom DH parameters, with as many bits as you wish, and put them in the "dh1024.pem" file.

* Tighten coding for non-composite case in plperl's return_next.Tom Lane2017-07-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | Coverity complained about this code's practice of using scalar variables as single-element arrays. While that's really just nitpicking, it probably is more readable to declare them as arrays, so let's do that. A more important point is that the code was just blithely assuming that the result tupledesc has exactly one column; if it doesn't, we'd likely get a crash of some sort in tuplestore_putvalues. Since the tupledesc is manufactured outside of plperl, that seems like an uncomfortably long chain of assumptions. We can nail it down at little cost with a sanity check earlier in the function.

* Move ExecProcNode from dispatch to function pointer based model.Andres Freund2017-07-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This allows us to add stack-depth checks the first time an executor node is called, and skip that overhead on following calls. Additionally it yields a nice speedup. While it'd probably have been a good idea to have that check all along, it has become more important after the new expression evaluation framework in b8d7f053c5c2bf2a7e - there's no stack depth check in common paths anymore now. We previously relied on ExecEvalExpr() being executed somewhere. We should move towards that model for further routines, but as this is required for v10, it seems better to only do the necessary (which already is quite large).

* PL/Perl portability fix: absorb relevant -D switches from Perl.Tom Lane2017-07-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Perl documentation is very clear that stuff calling libperl should be built with the compiler switches shown by Perl's $Config{ccflags}. We'd been ignoring that up to now, and mostly getting away with it, but recent Perl versions contain ABI compatibility cross-checks that fail on some builds because of this omission. In particular the sizeof(PerlInterpreter) can come out different due to some fields being added or removed; which means we have a live ABI hazard that we'd better fix rather than continuing to sweep it under the rug. However, it still seems like a bad idea to just absorb $Config{ccflags} verbatim. In some environments Perl was built with a different compiler that doesn't even use the same switch syntax. -D switch syntax is pretty universal though, and absorbing Perl's -D switches really ought to be enough to fix the problem. Furthermore, Perl likes to inject stuff like -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE and -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 into $Config{ccflags}, which affect libc ABIs on platforms where they're relevant. Adopting those seems dangerous too. It's unclear whether a build wherein Perl and Postgres have different ideas of sizeof(off_t) etc would work, or whether anyone would care about making it work. But it's dead certain that having different stdio ABIs in core Postgres and PL/Perl will not work; we've seen that movie before. Therefore, let's also ignore -D switches for symbols beginning with underscore. The symbols that we actually need to import should be the ones mentioned in perl.h's PL_bincompat_options stanza, and none of those start with underscore, so this seems likely to work. (If it turns out not to work everywhere, we could consider intersecting the symbols mentioned in PL_bincompat_options with the -D switches. But that will be much more complicated, so let's try this way first.) This will need to be back-patched, but first let's see what the buildfarm makes of it.

* PL/Perl portability fix: avoid including XSUB.h in plperl.c.Tom Lane2017-07-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In Perl builds that define PERL_IMPLICIT_SYS, XSUB.h defines macros that replace a whole lot of basic libc functions with Perl functions. We can't tolerate that in plperl.c; it breaks at least PG_TRY and probably other stuff. The core idea of this patch is to include XSUB.h only in the .xs files where it's really needed, and to move any code broken by PERL_IMPLICIT_SYS out of the .xs files and into plperl.c. The reason this hasn't been a problem before is that our build techniques did not result in PERL_IMPLICIT_SYS appearing as a #define in PL/Perl, even on some platforms where Perl thinks it is defined. That's about to change in order to fix a nasty portability issue, so we need this work to make the code safe for that. Rather unaccountably, the Perl people chose XSUB.h as the place to provide the versions of the aTHX/aTHX_ macros that are needed by code that's not explicitly aware of the MULTIPLICITY API conventions. Hence, just removing XSUB.h from plperl.c fails miserably. But we can work around that by defining PERL_NO_GET_CONTEXT (which would make the relevant stanza of XSUB.h a no-op anyway). As explained in perlguts.pod, that means we need to add a "dTHX" macro call in every C function that calls a Perl API function. In most of them we just add this at the top; but since the macro fetches the current Perl interpreter pointer, more care is needed in functions that switch the active interpreter. Lack of the macro is easily recognized since it results in bleats about "my_perl" not being defined. (A nice side benefit of this is that it significantly reduces the number of fetches of the current interpreter pointer. On my machine, plperl.so gets more than 10% smaller, and there's probably some performance win too. We could reduce the number of fetches still more by decorating the code with pTHX_/aTHX_ macros to pass the interpreter pointer around, as explained by perlguts.pod; but that's a task for another day.) Formatting note: pgindent seems happy to treat "dTHX;" as a declaration so long as it's the first thing after the left brace, as we'd already observed with respect to the similar macro "dSP;". If you try to put it later in a set of declarations, pgindent puts ugly extra space around it. Having removed XSUB.h from plperl.c, we need only move the support functions for spi_return_next and util_elog (both of which use PG_TRY) out of the .xs files and into plperl.c. This seems sufficient to avoid the known problems caused by PERL_IMPLICIT_SYS, although we could move more code if additional issues emerge. This will need to be back-patched, but first let's see what the buildfarm makes of it.

* Fix psql tab completion for CREATE USER MAPPING.Tom Lane2017-07-27
| | | | | | | | | After typing CREATE USER M..., it would not fill in MAPPING FOR, even though that was clearly intended behavior. Jeff Janes Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAMkU=1wo2iQ6jWnN=egqOb5NxEPn0PpANEtKHr3uPooQ+nYPtw@mail.gmail.com
* Standardize describe.c's behavior for no-matching-objects a bit more.Tom Lane2017-07-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Most functions in this file are content to print an empty table if there are no matching objects. In some, the behavior is to loop over all matching objects and print a table for each one; therefore, without any extra logic, nothing at all would be printed if no objects match. We accept that outcome in QUIET mode, but in normal mode it seems better to print a helpful message. The new \dRp+ command had not gotten that memo; fix it. listDbRoleSettings() is out of step on this, but I think it's better for it to print a custom message rather than an empty table, because of the possibility that the user is confused about what the pattern arguments mean or which is which. The original message wording was entirely useless for clarifying that, though, not to mention being unlike the wordings used elsewhere. Improve the text, and also print the messages with psql_error as is the general custom here. listTables() is also out in left field, but since it's such a heavily used function, I'm hesitant to change its behavior so much as to print an empty table rather than a custom message. People are probably used to getting a message. But we can make the wording more standardized and helpful, and print it with psql_error rather than printing to stdout. In both listDbRoleSettings and listTables, we play dumb and emit an empty table, not a custom message, in QUIET mode. That was true before and I see no need to change it. Several of the places printing such messages risked dumping core if no pattern string had been provided; make them more wary. (This case is presently unreachable in describeTableDetails; but it shouldn't be assuming that command.c will never pass it a null. The text search functions would only reach the case if a database contained no text search objects, which is also currently impossible since we pin the built-in objects, but again it seems unwise to assume that here.)

* Avoid use of sprintf/snprintf in describe.c.Tom Lane2017-07-27
| | | | | | | | | | | Most places were already using the PQExpBuffer library for constructing variable-length strings; bring the two stragglers into line. describeOneTSParser was living particularly dangerously since it wasn't even using snprintf().

* Sync listDbRoleSettings() with the rest of the world.Tom Lane2017-07-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | listDbRoleSettings() handled its server version check randomly differently from every other comparable function in describe.c, not only as to code layout but also message wording. It also leaked memory, because its PQExpBuffer management was also unlike everyplace else (and wrong). Also fix an error-case leak in add_tablespace_footer(). In passing, standardize the format of function header comments in describe.c --- we usually put "/*" alone on a line.

* Fix very minor memory leaks in psql's command.c.Tom Lane2017-07-27
| | | | | | | | | | | \drds leaked its second pattern argument if any, and \connect leaked any empty-string or "-" arguments. These are old bugs, but it's hard to imagine any real use-case where the leaks could amount to anything meaningful, so not bothering with a back-patch.

* Work around Msys weakness in Testlib.pm's command_like()Andrew Dunstan2017-07-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | When output of IPC::Run::run () is redirected to scalar references, in certain circumstances the Msys perl does not correctly detect that the end of file has been seen, making the test hang indefinitely. One such circumstance is when the command is 'pg_ctl start', and such a change was made in commit f13ea95f9e. The workaround, which only applies on MSys, is to redirect the output to temporary files and then read them in when the process has finished. Patch by me, reviewed and tweaked by Tom Lane.
* Clean up SQL emitted by psql/describe.c.Tom Lane2017-07-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix assorted places that had not bothered with the convention of prefixing catalog and function names with "pg_catalog.". That could possibly result in query failure when running with a nondefault search_path. Also fix two places that weren't quoting OID literals. I think the latter hasn't mattered much since about 7.3, but it's still a bad idea to be doing it in 99 places and not in 2 others. Also remove a useless EXISTS sub-select that someone had stuck into describeOneTableDetails' queries for child tables. We just got the OID out of pg_class, so I hardly see how checking that it exists in pg_class was doing anything helpful. In passing, try to improve the emitted formatting of a couple of these queries, though I didn't work really hard on that. And merge unnecessarily duplicative coding in some other places. Much of this was new in HEAD, but some was quite old; back-patch as appropriate.
