2013-07-29Fix contrib/cube and contrib/seg to build with bison 3.0.Tom Lane
These modules used the YYPARSE_PARAM macro, which has been deprecated by the bison folk since 1.875, and which they finally removed in 3.0. Adjust the code to use the replacement facility, %parse-param, which is a much better solution anyway since it allows specification of the type of the extra parser parameter. We can thus get rid of a lot of unsightly casting. Back-patch to all active branches, since somebody might try to build a back branch with up-to-date tools.

2013-07-27pg_upgrade: fix -j race condition on WindowsBruce Momjian
Pg_Upgrade cannot write the command string to the log file and then call system() to write to the same file without causing occasional file-share errors on Windows. So instead, write the command string to the log file after system(), in those cases. Backpatch to 9.3.

2013-07-25Prevent leakage of SPI tuple tables during subtransaction abort.Tom Lane
plpgsql often just remembers SPI-result tuple tables in local variables, and has no mechanism for freeing them if an ereport(ERROR) causes an escape out of the execution function whose local variable it is. In the original coding, that wasn't a problem because the tuple table would be cleaned up when the function's SPI context went away during transaction abort. However, once plpgsql grew the ability to trap exceptions, repeated trapping of errors within a function could result in significant intra-function-call memory leakage, as illustrated in bug #8279 from Chad Wagner. We could fix this locally in plpgsql with a bunch of PG_TRY/PG_CATCH coding, but that would be tedious, probably slow, and prone to bugs of omission; moreover it would do nothing for similar risks elsewhere. What seems like a better plan is to make SPI itself responsible for freeing tuple tables at subtransaction abort. This patch attacks the problem that way, keeping a list of live tuple tables within each SPI function context. Currently, such freeing is automatic for tuple tables made within the failed subtransaction. We might later add a SPI call to mark a tuple table as not to be freed this way, allowing callers to opt out; but until someone exhibits a clear use-case for such behavior, it doesn't seem worth bothering. A very useful side-effect of this change is that SPI_freetuptable() can now defend itself against bad calls, such as duplicate free requests; this should make things more robust in many places. (In particular, this reduces the risks involved if a third-party extension contains now-redundant SPI_freetuptable() calls in error cleanup code.) Even though the leakage problem is of long standing, it seems imprudent to back-patch this into stable branches, since it does represent an API semantics change for SPI users. We'll patch this in 9.3, but live with the leakage in older branches.
2013-07-25pgstattuple: Doc update for previous commit.Robert Haas
In my previous change to make pgstattuple use SnapshotDirty rather than SnapshotNow, I failed to notice that the documenation also needed to be updated to match. Fix.
2013-07-25Change currtid functions to use an MVCC snapshot, not SnapshotNow.Robert Haas
This has a slight performance cost, but the only known consumers of these functions, known at the SQL level as currtid and currtid2, is pgsql-odbc; whose usage, we hope, is not sufficiently intensive to make this a problem. Per discussion.
2013-07-25pgstattuple: Use SnapshotDirty, not SnapshotNow.Robert Haas
Tuples belonging to uncommitted transactions should not be counted as dead. This is arguably a bug fix that should be back-patched, but as no one ever noticed until it came time to try to get rid of SnapshotNow, I'm only doing this in master for now.
2013-07-25Don't use SnapshotNow in get_actual_variable_range.Robert Haas
Instead, use the active snapshot. Per Tom Lane, this function is most interested in knowing the range of tuples our scan will actually see. This is another step towards full removal of SnapshotNow.
2013-07-25Fix configure probe for sys/ucred.h.Tom Lane
The configure script's test for <sys/ucred.h> did not work on OpenBSD, because on that platform <sys/param.h> has to be included first. As a result, socket peer authentication was disabled on that platform. Problem introduced in commit be4585b1c27ac5dbdd0d61740d18f7ad9a00e268. Andres Freund, slightly simplified by me.
2013-07-25pg_upgrade: adjust umask() callsBruce Momjian
Since pg_upgrade -j on Windows uses threads, calling umask() before/after opening a file via fopen_priv() is no longer possible, so set umask() as we enter the thread-creating loop, and reset it on exit. Also adjust internal fopen_priv() calls to just use fopen(). Backpatch to 9.3beta.
2013-07-25Improvements to GetErrorContextStack()Stephen Frost
As GetErrorContextStack() borrowed setup and tear-down code from other places, it was less than clear that it must only be called as a top-level entry point into the error system and can't be called by an exception handler (unlike the rest of the error system, which is set up to be reentrant-safe). Being called from an exception handler is outside the charter of GetErrorContextStack(), so add a bit more protection against it, improve the comments addressing why we have to set up an errordata stack for this function at all, and add a few more regression tests. Lack of clarity pointed out by Tom Lane; all bugs are mine.
2013-07-25pg_upgrade: fix initialization of thread argumentBruce Momjian
Reorder initialization of thread argument marker to it happens before reap_child() is called. Backpatch to 9.3.
2013-07-24Add GET DIAGNOSTICS ... PG_CONTEXT in PL/PgSQLStephen Frost
This adds the ability to get the call stack as a string from within a PL/PgSQL function, which can be handy for logging to a table, or to include in a useful message to an end-user. Pavel Stehule, reviewed by Rushabh Lathia and rather heavily whacked around by Stephen Frost.
2013-07-24Improve ilist.h's support for deletion of slist elements during iteration.Tom Lane
Previously one had to use slist_delete(), implying an additional scan of the list, making this infrastructure considerably less efficient than traditional Lists when deletion of element(s) in a long list is needed. Modify the slist_foreach_modify() macro to support deleting the current element in O(1) time, by keeping a "prev" pointer in addition to "cur" and "next". Although this makes iteration with this macro a bit slower, no real harm is done, since in any scenario where you're not going to delete the current list element you might as well just use slist_foreach instead. Improve the comments about when to use each macro. Back-patch to 9.3 so that we'll have consistent semantics in all branches that provide ilist.h. Note this is an ABI break for callers of slist_foreach_modify(). Andres Freund and Tom Lane

2013-07-24pg_upgrade: fix parallel/-j crash on WindowsBruce Momjian

2013-07-24Fix booltestsel() for case where we have NULL stats but not MCV stats.Tom Lane
In a boolean column that contains mostly nulls, ANALYZE might not find enough non-null values to populate the most-common-values stats, but it would still create a pg_statistic entry with stanullfrac set. The logic in booltestsel() for this situation did the wrong thing for "col IS NOT TRUE" and "col IS NOT FALSE" tests, forgetting that null values would satisfy these tests (so that the true selectivity would be close to one, not close to zero). Per bug #8274. Fix by Andrew Gierth, some comment-smithing by me.
2013-07-23Move strip_implicit_coercions() from optimizer to nodeFuncs.c.Tom Lane
Use of this function has spread into the parser and rewriter, so it seems like time to pull it out of the optimizer and put it into the more central nodeFuncs module. This eliminates the need to #include optimizer/clauses.h in most of the calling files, demonstrating that this function was indeed a bit outside the normal code reference patterns.
2013-07-23Further hacking on ruleutils' new column-alias-assignment code.Tom Lane
After further thought about implicit coercions appearing in a joinaliasvars list, I realized that they represent an additional reason why we might need to reference the join output column directly instead of referencing an underlying column. Consider SELECT x FROM t1 LEFT JOIN t2 USING (x) where t1.x is of type date while t2.x is of type timestamptz. The merged output variable is of type timestamptz, but it won't go to null when t2 does, therefore neither t1.x nor t2.x is a valid substitute reference. The code in get_variable() actually gets this case right, since it knows it shouldn't look through a coercion, but we failed to ensure that the unqualified output column name would be globally unique. To fix, modify the code that trawls for a dangerous situation so that it actually scans through an unnamed join's joinaliasvars list to see if there are any non-simple-Var entries.

2013-07-23Change post-rewriter representation of dropped columns in joinaliasvars.Tom Lane
It's possible to drop a column from an input table of a JOIN clause in a view, if that column is nowhere actually referenced in the view. But it will still be there in the JOIN clause's joinaliasvars list. We used to replace such entries with NULL Const nodes, which is handy for generation of RowExpr expansion of a whole-row reference to the view. The trouble with that is that it can't be distinguished from the situation after subquery pull-up of a constant subquery output expression below the JOIN. Instead, replace such joinaliasvars with null pointers (empty expression trees), which can't be confused with pulled-up expressions. expandRTE() still emits the old convention, though, for convenience of RowExpr generation and to reduce the risk of breaking extension code. In HEAD and 9.3, this patch also fixes a problem with some new code in ruleutils.c that was failing to cope with implicitly-casted joinaliasvars entries, as per recent report from Feike Steenbergen. That oversight was because of an inadequate description of the data structure in parsenodes.h, which I've now corrected. There were some pre-existing oversights of the same ilk elsewhere, which I believe are now all fixed.
2013-07-23Tweak FOR UPDATE/SHARE error message wording (again)Alvaro Herrera
In commit 0ac5ad5134 I changed some error messages from "FOR UPDATE/SHARE" to a rather long gobbledygook which nobody liked. Then, in commit cb9b66d31 I changed them again, but the alternative chosen there was deemed suboptimal by Peter Eisentraut, who in message [email protected] proposed an alternative involving a dynamically-constructed string based on the actual locking strength specified in the SQL command. This patch implements that suggestion.
2013-07-23Use InvalidSnapshot, now SnapshotNow, as the default snapshot.Robert Haas
As far as I can determine, there's no code in the core distribution that fails to explicitly set the snapshot of a scan or executor state. If there is any such code, this will probably cause it to seg fault; friendlier suggestions were discussed on pgsql-hackers, but there was no consensus that anything more than this was needed. This is another step towards the hoped-for complete removal of SnapshotNow.

2013-07-22pgrowlocks: Use GetActiveSnapshot() rather than SnapshotNow.Robert Haas
Per discussion, it's desirable to eliminate all remaining uses of SnapshotNow, because it has unpleasant semantics: race conditions can result in seeing multiple versions of a concurrently updated row, or none at all. By using GetActiveSnapshot() here, callers will see exactly those rows that would have been visible if the invoking query had scanned the table using, for example, a SELECT statement. This is slightly different from the old behavior, because commits that happen concurrently with the scan will not affect the results. In REPEATABLE READ or SERIALIZABLE modes, where transaction snapshots are used, commits that have happened since the start of the transaction will also not affect the results. It is hoped that this minor incompatibility will be thought an improvement, or at least no worse than what we did before.
2013-07-22Remove bgw_sighup and bgw_sigterm.Robert Haas
Per discussion on pgsql-hackers, these aren't really needed. Interim versions of the background worker patch had the worker starting with signals already unblocked, which would have made this necessary. But the final version does not, so we don't really need it; and it doesn't work well with the new facility for starting dynamic background workers, so just rip it out. Also per discussion on pgsql-hackers, back-patch this change to 9.3. It's best to get the API break out of the way before we do an official release of this facility, to avoid more pain for extension authors later.
2013-07-22Adjust HeapTupleSatisfies* routines to take a HeapTuple.Robert Haas
Previously, these functions took a HeapTupleHeader, but upcoming patches for logical replication will introduce new a new snapshot type under which the tuple's TID will be used to lookup (CMIN, CMAX) for visibility determination purposes. This makes that information available. Code churn is minimal since HeapTupleSatisfiesVisibility took the HeapTuple anyway, and deferenced it before calling the satisfies function. Independently of logical replication, this allows t_tableOid and t_self to be cross-checked via assertions in tqual.c. This seems like a useful way to make sure that all callers are setting these values properly, which has been previously put forward as desirable. Andres Freund, reviewed by Álvaro Herrera
2013-07-22Silence compiler warning on an unused variableAlvaro Herrera
Also, tweak wording in comments (per Andres) and documentation (myself) to point out that it's the database's default tablespace that can be passed as 0, not DEFAULTTABLESPACE_OID. Robert Haas noticed the bug in the code, but didn't update the accompanying prose.
2013-07-22Add infrastructure for mapping relfilenodes to relation OIDs.Robert Haas
Future patches are expected to introduce logical replication that works by decoding WAL. WAL contains relfilenodes rather than relation OIDs, so this infrastructure will be needed to find the relation OID based on WAL contents. If logical replication does not make it into this release, we probably should consider reverting this, since it will add some overhead to DDL operations that create new relations. One additional index insert per pg_class row is not a large overhead, but it's more than zero. Another way of meeting the needs of logical replication would be to the relation OID to WAL, but that would burden DML operations, not only DDL. Andres Freund, with some changes by me. Design review, in earlier versions, by Álvaro Herrera.
2013-07-20Fix error handling in PLy_spi_execute_fetch_result().Tom Lane
If an error is thrown out of the datatype I/O functions called by this function, we need to do subtransaction cleanup, which the previous coding entirely failed to do. Fortunately, both existing callers of this function already have proper cleanup logic, so re-throwing the exception is enough. Also, postpone creation of the resultset tupdesc until after the I/O conversions are complete, so that we won't leak memory in TopMemoryContext when such an error happens.
2013-07-20Clean up new JSON API typedefsPeter Eisentraut
The new JSON API uses a bit of an unusual typedef scheme, where for example OkeysState is a pointer to okeysState. And that's not applied consistently either. Change that to the more usual PostgreSQL style where struct typedefs are upper case, and use pointers explicitly.
2013-07-19Fix HeapTupleSatisfiesVacuum on aborted updater xactsAlvaro Herrera
By using only the macro that checks infomask bits HEAP_XMAX_IS_LOCKED_ONLY to verify whether a multixact is not an updater, and not the full HeapTupleHeaderIsOnlyLocked, it would come to the wrong result in case of a multixact containing an aborted update; therefore returning the wrong result code. This would cause predicate.c to break completely (as in bug report #8273 from David Leverton), and certain index builds would misbehave. As far as I can tell, other callers of the bogus routine would make harmless mistakes or not be affected by the difference at all; so this was a pretty narrow case. Also, no other user of the HEAP_XMAX_IS_LOCKED_ONLY macro is as careless; they all check specifically for the HEAP_XMAX_IS_MULTI case, and they all verify whether the updater is InvalidXid before concluding that it's a valid updater. So there doesn't seem to be any similar bug.

2013-07-19Add checks for valid multibyte character length in UtfToLocal, LocalToUtf.Tom Lane
This is mainly to suppress "uninitialized variable" warnings from very recent versions of gcc. But it seems like a good robustness thing anyway, not to mention that we might someday decide to support 6-byte UTF8. Per report from Karol Trzcionka. No back-patch since there's no reason at the moment to think this is more than cosmetic.
2013-07-19Fix regex match failures for backrefs combined with non-greedy quantifiers.Tom Lane
An ancient logic error in cfindloop() could cause the regex engine to fail to find matches that begin later than the start of the string. This function is only used when the regex pattern contains a back reference, and so far as we can tell the error is only reachable if the pattern is non-greedy (i.e. its first quantifier uses the ? modifier). Furthermore, the actual match must begin after some potential match that satisfies the DFA but then fails the back-reference's match test. Reported and fixed by Jeevan Chalke, with cosmetic adjustments by me.
2013-07-18WITH CHECK OPTION support for auto-updatable VIEWsStephen Frost
For simple views which are automatically updatable, this patch allows the user to specify what level of checking should be done on records being inserted or updated. For 'LOCAL CHECK', new tuples are validated against the conditionals of the view they are being inserted into, while for 'CASCADED CHECK' the new tuples are validated against the conditionals for all views involved (from the top down). This option is part of the SQL specification. Dean Rasheed, reviewed by Pavel Stehule

2013-07-18Fix pgstattuple functions to use regclass-type as the argument.Fujii Masao
This allows us to specify the target relation with several expressions, 'relname', 'schemaname.relname' and OID in all pgstattuple functions. pgstatindex() and pg_relpages() could not accept OID as the argument so far. Per discussion on -hackers, we decided to keep two types of interfaces, with regclass-type and TEXT-type argument, for each pgstattuple function because of the backward-compatibility issue. The functions which have TEXT-type argument will be deprecated in the future release. Patch by Satoshi Nagayasu, reviewed by Rushabh Lathia and Fujii Masao.
2013-07-18Move checking an explicit VARIADIC "any" argument into the parser.Andrew Dunstan
This is more efficient and simpler . It does mean that an untyped NULL can no longer be used in such cases, which should be mentioned in Release Notes, but doesn't seem a terrible loss. The workaround is to cast the NULL to some array type. Pavel Stehule, reviewed by Jeevan Chalke.

2013-07-17Fix a few problems in barrier.h.Tom Lane
On HPPA, implement pg_memory_barrier() as pg_compiler_barrier(), which should be correct since this arch doesn't do memory access reordering, and is anyway better than the completely-nonfunctional-on-this-arch dummy_spinlock code. (But note this patch only fixes things for gcc, not for builds with HP's compiler.) Also, fix incorrect default definition of pg_memory_barrier as a macro requiring an argument. Also, fix incorrect spelling of "#elif" as "#else if" in icc code path (spotted by pgindent). This doesn't come close to fixing all of the functional and stylistic deficiencies in barrier.h, but at least it un-breaks my personal build. Now that we're actually using barriers in the code, this file is going to need some serious attention.

2013-07-17Fix assert failure at end of recovery, broken by XLogInsert scaling patch.Heikki Linnakangas
Initialization of the first XLOG buffer at end-of-recovery was broken for the case that the last read WAL record ended at a page boundary. Instead of trying to copy the last full xlog page to the buffer cache in that case, just set shared state so that the next page is initialized when the first WAL record after startup is inserted. (that's what we did in earlier version, too) To make the shared state required for that case less surprising, replace the XLogCtl->curridx variable, which was the index of the latest initialized buffer, with an XLogRecPtr of how far the buffers have been initialized. That also allows us to get rid of the XLogRecEndPtrToBufIdx macro. While we're at it, make a similar change for XLogCtl->Write.curridx, getting rid of that variable and calculating the next buffer to write from XLogCtl->LogwrtResult instead.
