* Better fix for "unarchived WAL files get deleted on crash recovery" bug.Heikki Linnakangas2013-02-15
| | | | | | | | | | Revert my earlier fix for the bug that unarchived WAL files get deleted on crash recovery, commit c9cc7e05c6d82a9781883a016c70d95aa4923122. We create a .done file for files streamed or restored from archive, so the WAL file recycling logic used during normal operation works just as well during archive recovery. Per Fujii Masao's suggestion.
* Force archive_status of .done for xlogs created by dearchival/replication.Simon Riggs2013-02-15
| | | | | | | | | This is a forward-patch of commit 6f4b8a4f4f7a2d683ff79ab59d3693714b965e3d, applied to 9.2 back in August. The plan was to do something else in master, but it looks like it's not going to happen, so let's just apply the 9.2 solution to master as well. Fujii Masao
* Don't delete unarchived WAL files during crash recovery.Heikki Linnakangas2013-02-15
| | | | | Bug reported by Jehan-Guillaume (ioguix) de Rorthais. This was introduced with the change to keep WAL files restored from archive in pg_xlog, in 9.2.
* pgindent: Fix order in instructionsPeter Eisentraut2013-02-14
| | | | | | The previous order of steps didn't literally work, because git clean -fdx would delete the downloaded typedefs.list. Also, pgindent needs to be called with a path when one is in at the top of the build tree.
* Invent pre-commit/pre-prepare/pre-subcommit events for xact callbacks.Tom Lane2013-02-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently it's only possible for loadable modules to get control during post-commit cleanup of a transaction. That doesn't work too well if they want to do something that could throw an error; for example, an FDW might need to issue a remote commit, which could well fail. To improve matters, extend the existing APIs for XactCallback and SubXactCallback functions to provide new pre-commit events for this purpose. The release notes will need to mention that existing callback functions should be checked to make sure they don't do something unwanted when one of the new event types occurs. In the examples within our source tree, contrib/sepgsql was fine but plpgsql had been a bit too cute.
* Fix CVE-2013-0255 properly.Tom Lane2013-02-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | Revert commit ab0f7b6089fd215f6ce6081e2e222c38d643a526 (in HEAD only) in favor of the proper solution, which is to declare enum_recv() correctly in the system catalogs. It should be declared to take type "internal" not "cstring". Also improve the type_sanity regression test, which should have caught this typo, so that it actually would. Most of the relevant checks on the signature of type I/O functions should not have been restricted to basetypes/pseudotypes, as they should apply to any type's I/O functions.
* Fix bogus when-to-deregister-from-listener-array logic.Tom Lane2013-02-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since a backend adds itself to the global listener array during Exec_ListenPreCommit, it's inappropriate for it to remove itself during Exec_UnlistenCommit or Exec_UnlistenAllCommit --- that leads to failure when committing a transaction that did UNLISTEN then LISTEN, since we end up not registered though we should be. (This leads to missing later notifications, or to Assert failures in assert-enabled builds.) Instead deal with deregistering at the bottom of AtCommit_Notify, when we know the final state of the listenChannels list. Also, simplify the representation of registration status by replacing the transient backendHasExecutedInitialListen flag with an amRegisteredListener flag. Per report from Greg Sabino Mullane. Back-patch to 9.0, where the problem was introduced during the LISTEN/NOTIFY rewrite.
* Update visibility map in the second phase of vacuum.Heikki Linnakangas2013-02-13
| | | | | | | | There's a high chance that a page becomes all-visible when the second phase of vacuum removes all the dead tuples on it, so it makes sense to check for that. Otherwise the visibility map won't get updated until the next vacuum. Pavan Deolasee, reviewed by Jeff Janes.
* Rename "string" pstrdup argument to "in"Alvaro Herrera2013-02-12
| | | | | The former name collides with a symbol also used in the isolation test's parser, causing assorted failures in certain platforms.
* Don't build libpgcommon_srv.a just yetAlvaro Herrera2013-02-12
| | | | It's empty, and some archivers do not support that case.
* Create libpgcommon, and move pg_malloc et al to itAlvaro Herrera2013-02-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | libpgcommon is a new static library to allow sharing code among the various frontend programs and backend; this lets us eliminate duplicate implementations of common routines. We avoid libpgport, because that's intended as a place for porting issues; per discussion, it seems better to keep them separate. The first use case, and the only implemented by this patch, is pg_malloc and friends, which many frontend programs were already using. At the same time, we can use this to provide palloc emulation functions for the frontend; this way, some palloc-using files in the backend can also be used by the frontend cleanly. To do this, we change palloc() in the backend to be a function instead of a macro on top of MemoryContextAlloc(). This was previously believed to cause loss of performance, but this implementation has been tweaked by Tom and Andres so that on modern compilers it provides a slight improvement over the previous one. This lets us clean up some places that were already with localized hacks. Most of the pg_malloc/palloc changes in this patch were authored by Andres Freund. Zoltán Böszörményi also independently provided a form of that. libpgcommon infrastructure was authored by Álvaro.

* Support unlogged GiST index.Heikki Linnakangas2013-02-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The reason this wasn't supported before was that GiST indexes need an increasing sequence to detect concurrent page-splits. In a regular WAL- logged GiST index, the LSN of the page-split record is used for that purpose, and in a temporary index, we can get away with a backend-local counter. Neither of those methods works for an unlogged relation. To provide such an increasing sequence of numbers, create a "fake LSN" counter that is saved and restored across shutdowns. On recovery, unlogged relations are blown away, so the counter doesn't need to survive that either. Jeevan Chalke, based on discussions with Robert Haas, Tom Lane and me.
* Fix checkpoint after fast promotion.Heikki Linnakangas2013-02-11
| | | | | | | | | | The intention was to request a regular online checkpoint immediately after end of recovery, when performing "fast promotion". However, because the checkpoint was requested before other backends were allowed to write WAL, the checkpointer process performed a restartpoint rather than a checkpoint. Delay the RequestCheckPoint call until after recovery has truly ended, so that you get a real checkpoint.
* Include previous TLI in end-of-recovery and shutdown checkpoint records.Heikki Linnakangas2013-02-11
| | | | | | This isn't used for anything but a sanity check at the moment, but it could be highly valuable for debugging purposes. It could also be used to recreate timeline history by traversing WAL, which seems useful.
* Further cleanup of gistsplit.c.Tom Lane2013-02-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After further reflection I was unconvinced that the existing coding is guaranteed to return valid union datums in every code path for multi-column indexes. Fix that by forcing a gistunionsubkey() call at the end of the recursion. Having done that, we can remove some clearly-redundant calls elsewhere. This should be a little faster for multi-column indexes (since the previous coding would uselessly do such a call for each column while unwinding the recursion), as well as much harder to break. Also, simplify the handling of cases where one side or the other of a primary split contains only don't-care tuples. The previous coding used a very ugly hack in removeDontCares() that essentially forced one random tuple to be treated as non-don't-care, providing a random initial choice of seed datum for the secondary split. It seems unlikely that that method will give better-than-random splits. Instead, treat such a split as degenerate and just let the next column determine the split, the same way that we handle fully degenerate cases where the two sides produce identical union datums.
* Remove useless picksplit-doesn't-support-secondary-split log spam.Tom Lane2013-02-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This LOG message was put in over five years ago with the evident expectation that we'd make all GiST opclasses support secondary split directly. However, no such thing ever happened, and indeed the number of opclasses supporting it decreased to zero in 9.2. The reason is that improving on the default implementation isn't that easy --- the opclass-specific code that did exist, before 9.2, doesn't appear to have been any improvement over the default. Hence, remove the message altogether. There's certainly no point in nagging users about this in released branches, but I doubt that we'll ever implement complete opclass-specific support anyway.
* Remove vestigial secondary-split support in gist_box_picksplit().Tom Lane2013-02-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Not only is this implementation of secondary-split not better than the default implementation in gistsplit.c, it's actually worse. The gistsplit.c code at least looks to see if switching the left and right sides would make a better merge with the previously-split tuples, while this doesn't. In any case it's rather useless to support secondary split only in an edge case. There used to be more complete support for it here (in chooseLR()), but that was removed in commit 7f3bd86843e5aad84585a57d3f6b80db3c609916. It appears to me though that the chooseLR() code was really isomorphic to the default implementation, since it was still based on choosing the cheaper way of adding two sub-split vectors that had been chosen without regard to the primary split initially. I think an implementation of secondary split that could beat the default implementation would have to be pretty fully integrated into the split algorithm, not plastered on at the end. Back-patch to 9.2, but not further; previous branches have the chooseLR() code which I don't feel a great need to mess with. This is mainly so we just have two behaviors and not three among the various branches (IOW, this patch is cleanup for commit 7f3bd86843e5aad84585a57d3f6b80db3c609916's incomplete removal of secondary-split support).
* Document and clean up gistsplit.c.Tom Lane2013-02-10
| | | | | | | | | | Improve comments, rename some variables and functions, slightly simplify a couple of APIs, in an attempt to make this code readable by people other than its original author. Even though this is essentially just cosmetic, back-patch to all active branches, because otherwise it's going to make back-patching future fixes in this file very painful.

| | | | | | This was agreed to back in 2007, but never actually done. Josh Hansen
* psql: Improve unaligned expanded output for zero rowsPeter Eisentraut2013-02-09
| | | | This used to erroneously print an empty line. Now it prints nothing.
* psql: Improve expanded print output in tuples-only modePeter Eisentraut2013-02-09
| | | | | | When there are zero result rows, in expanded mode, "(No rows)" is printed. So far, there was no way to turn this off. Now, when tuples-only mode is turned on, nothing is printed in this case.
* Add support for ALTER RULE ... RENAME TO.Tom Lane2013-02-08
| | | | Ali Dar, reviewed by Dean Rasheed.
* Simplify box_overlap computations.Tom Lane2013-02-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | Given the assumption that a box's high coordinates are not less than its low coordinates, the tests in box_ov() are overly complicated and can be reduced to about half as much work. Since many other functions in geo_ops.c rely on that assumption, there doesn't seem to be a good reason not to use it here. Per discussion of Alexander Korotkov's GiST fix, which was already using the simplified logic (in a non-fuzzy form, but the equivalence holds just as well for fuzzy).
* Fix gist_box_same and gist_point_consistent to handle fuzziness correctly.Tom Lane2013-02-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While there's considerable doubt that we want fuzzy behavior in the geometric operators at all (let alone as currently implemented), nobody is stepping forward to redesign that stuff. In the meantime it behooves us to make sure that index searches agree with the behavior of the underlying operators. This patch fixes two problems in this area. First, gist_box_same was using fuzzy equality, but it really needs to use exact equality to prevent not-quite-identical upper index keys from being treated as identical, which for example would prevent an existing upper key from being extended by an amount less than epsilon. This would result in inconsistent indexes. (The next release notes will need to recommend that users reindex GiST indexes on boxes, polygons, circles, and points, since all four opclasses use gist_box_same.) Second, gist_point_consistent used exact comparisons for upper-page comparisons in ~= searches, when it needs to use fuzzy comparisons to ensure it finds all matches; and it used fuzzy comparisons for point <@ box searches, when it needs to use exact comparisons because that's what the <@ operator (rather inconsistently) does. The added regression test cases illustrate all three misbehaviors. Back-patch to all active branches. (8.4 did not have GiST point_ops, but it still seems prudent to apply the gist_box_same patch to it.) Alexander Korotkov, reviewed by Noah Misch

* Fix performance issue in EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, TIMING OFF).Tom Lane2013-02-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit af7914c6627bcf0b0ca614e9ce95d3f8056602bf, which added the TIMING option to EXPLAIN, had an oversight: if the TIMING option is disabled then control in InstrStartNode() goes through an elog(DEBUG2) call, which typically does nothing but takes a noticeable amount of time to do it. Tweak the logic to avoid that. In HEAD, also change the elog(DEBUG2)'s in instrument.c to elog(ERROR). It's not very clear why they weren't like that to begin with, but this episode shows that not complaining more vociferously about misuse is likely to do little except allow bugs to remain hidden. While at it, adjust some code that was making possibly-dangerous assumptions about flag bits being in the rightmost byte of the instrument_options word. Problem reported by Pavel Stehule (via Tomas Vondra).
* Repair bugs in GiST page splitting code for multi-column indexes.Tom Lane2013-02-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When considering a non-last column in a multi-column GiST index, gistsplit.c tries to improve on the split chosen by the opclass-specific pickSplit function by considering penalties for the next column. However, there were two bugs in this code: it failed to recompute the union keys for the leftmost index columns, even though these might well change after reassigning tuples; and it included the old union keys in the recomputation for the columns it did recompute, so that those keys couldn't get smaller even if they should. The first problem could result in an invalid index in which searches wouldn't find index entries that are in fact present; the second would make the index less efficient to search. Both of these errors were caused by misuse of gistMakeUnionItVec, whose API was designed in a way that just begged such errors to be made. There is no situation in which it's safe or useful to compute the union keys for a subset of the index columns, and there is no caller that wants any previous union keys to be included in the computation; so the undocumented choice to treat the union keys as in/out rather than pure output parameters is a waste of code as well as being dangerous. Hence, rather than just making a minimal patch, I've changed the API of gistMakeUnionItVec to remove the "startkey" parameter (it now always processes all index columns) and treat the attr/isnull arrays as purely output parameters. In passing, also get rid of a couple of unnecessary and dangerous uses of static variables in gistutil.c. It's remarkable that the one in gistMakeUnionKey hasn't given us portability troubles before now, because in addition to posing a re-entrancy hazard, it was unsafely assuming that a static char[] array would have at least Datum alignment. Per investigation of a trouble report from Tomas Vondra. (There are also some bugs in contrib/btree_gist to be fixed, but that seems like material for a separate patch.) Back-patch to all supported branches.
* Fix possible failure to send final transaction counts to stats collector.Tom Lane2013-02-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Normally, we suppress sending a tabstats message to the collector unless there were some actual table stats to send. However, during backend exit we should force out the message if there are any transaction commit/abort counts to send, else the session's last few commit/abort counts will never get reported at all. We had logic for this, but the short-circuit test at the top of pgstat_report_stat() ignored the "force" flag, with the consequence that session-ending transactions that touched no database-local tables would not get counted. Seems to be an oversight in my commit 641912b4d17fd214a5e5bae4e7bb9ddbc28b144b, which added the "force" flag. That was back in 8.3, so back-patch to all supported versions.
* Rely only on checkpoint 1 at end of recovery.Simon Riggs2013-02-07

* Split out list of XLog resource managersAlvaro Herrera2013-02-06
| | | | | | | | | | The new rmgrlist.h header, containing all necessary data about built-in resource managers, allows other pieces of code to access them. In particular, this allows a future pg_xlogdump program to extract rm_desc function pointers, without having to keep a duplicate list of them.
* Improve error message wordingAlvaro Herrera2013-02-06

* Prevent execution of enum_recv() from SQL.Tom Lane2013-02-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This function was misdeclared to take cstring when it should take internal. This at least allows crashing the server, and in principle an attacker might be able to use the function to examine the contents of server memory. The correct fix is to adjust the system catalog contents (and fix the regression tests that should have caught this but failed to). However, asking users to correct the catalog contents in existing installations is a pain, so as a band-aid fix for the back branches, install a check in enum_recv() to make it throw error if called with a cstring argument. We will later revert this in HEAD in favor of correcting the catalogs. Our thanks to Sumit Soni (via Secunia SVCRP) for reporting this issue. Security: CVE-2013-0255

* Perform line wrapping and indenting by default in ruleutils.c.Tom Lane2013-02-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes pg_get_viewdef() and allied functions so that PRETTY_INDENT processing is always enabled. Per discussion, only the PRETTY_PAREN processing (that is, stripping of "unnecessary" parentheses) poses any real forward-compatibility risk, so we may as well make dump output look as nice as we safely can. Also, set the default wrap length to zero (i.e, wrap after each SELECT or FROM list item), since there's no very principled argument for the former default of 80-column wrapping, and most people seem to agree this way looks better.

* Prevent "\g filename" from affecting subsequent commands after an error.Tom Lane2013-02-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the previous coding, psql's state variable saying that output should go to a file was only reset after successful completion of a query returning tuples. Thus for example, regression=# select 1/0 regression-# \g somefile ERROR: division by zero regression=# select 1/2; regression=# ... huh, I wonder where that output went. Even more oddly, the state was not reset even if it's the file that's causing the failure: regression=# select 1/2 \g /foo /foo: Permission denied regression=# select 1/2; /foo: Permission denied regression=# select 1/2; /foo: Permission denied This seems to me not to satisfy the principle of least surprise. \g is certainly not documented in a way that suggests its effects are at all persistent. To fix, adjust the code so that the flag is reset at exit from SendQuery no matter what happened. Noted while reviewing the \gset patch, which had comparable issues. Arguably this is a bug fix, but I'll refrain from back-patching for now.

* Fix typo in freeze_table_age implementationAlvaro Herrera2013-02-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The original code used freeze_min_age instead of freeze_table_age. The main consequence of this mistake is that lowering freeze_min_age would cause full-table scans to occur much more frequently, which causes serious issues because the number of writes required is much larger. That feature (freeze_min_age) is supposed to affect only how soon tuples are frozen; some pages should still be skipped due to the visibility map. Backpatch to 8.4, where the freeze_table_age feature was introduced. Report and patch from Andres Freund
* Fill tuple before HeapSatisfiesHOTAndKeyUpdateAlvaro Herrera2013-02-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | Failing to do this results in almost all updates to system catalogs being non-HOT updates, because the OID column would differ (not having been set for the new tuple), which is an indexed column. While at it, make sure to set the tableoid early in both old and new tuples as well. This isn't of much consequence, since that column is seldom (never?) indexed. Report and patch from Andres Freund.
