2024-06-26Remove redundant perl version checksAndrew Dunstan
Commit 4c1532763a removed some redundant uses of 'use 5.008001;' in perl scripts, including in plperl's plc_perlboot.pl. Because it made other changes it wasn't backpatched. However, now this is causing a failure on back branches when built with bleeding edge perl. Therefore, backpatch just that part of it which removed those uses, from 15 all the way down to 9.2, which is the earliest version currently built in the buildfarm. per report from Alexander Lakhin Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/4cc2ee93-e03c-8e13-61ed-412e7e6ff19d@gmail.com
2023-01-17AdjustUpgrade.pm should zap test_ext_cine, too.Tom Lane
test_extensions' test_ext_cine extension has the same upgrade hazard as test_ext7: the regression test leaves it in an updated state from which no downgrade path to default is provided. This causes the update_extensions.sql script helpfully provided by pg_upgrade to fail. So drop it in cross-version-upgrade testing. Not entirely sure how come I didn't hit this in testing yesterday; possibly I'd built the upgrade reference databases with testmodules-install-check disabled. Backpatch to v10 where this module was introduced.
2023-01-17Create common infrastructure for cross-version upgrade testing.Tom Lane
To test pg_upgrade across major PG versions, we have to be able to modify or drop any old objects with no-longer-supported properties, and we have to be able to deal with cosmetic changes in pg_dump output. Up to now, the buildfarm and pg_upgrade's own test infrastructure had separate implementations of the former, and we had nothing but very ad-hoc rules for the latter (including an arbitrary threshold on how many lines of unchecked diff were okay!). This patch creates a Perl module that can be shared by both those use-cases, and adds logic that deals with pg_dump output diffs in a much more tightly defined fashion. This largely supersedes previous efforts in commits 0df9641d3, 9814ff550, and 62be9e4cd, which developed a SQL-script-based solution for the task of dropping old objects. There was nothing fundamentally wrong with that work in itself, but it had no basis for solving the output-formatting problem. The most plausible way to deal with formatting is to build a Perl module that can perform editing on the dump files; and once we commit to that, it makes more sense for the same module to also embed the knowledge of what has to be done for dropping old objects. Back-patch versions of the helper module as far as 9.2, to support buildfarm animals that still test that far back. It's also necessary to back-patch PostgreSQL/Version.pm, because the new code depends on that. I fixed up pg_upgrade's 002_pg_upgrade.pl in v15, but did not look into back-patching it further than that.

2022-11-03Avoid crash after function syntax error in a replication worker.Tom Lane
If a syntax error occurred in a SQL-language or PL/pgSQL-language CREATE FUNCTION or DO command executed in a logical replication worker, we'd suffer a null pointer dereference or assertion failure. That seems like a rather contrived case, but nonetheless worth fixing. The cause is that function_parse_error_transpose assumes it must be executing within the context of a Portal, but logical/worker.c doesn't create a Portal since it's not running the standard executor. We can just back off the hard Assert check and make it fail gracefully if there's not an ActivePortal. (I have a feeling that the aggressive check here was my fault originally, probably because I wasn't sure if the case would always hold and wanted to find out. Well, now we know.) The hazard seems to exist in all branches that have logical replication, so back-patch to v10.

2022-11-02Allow use of __sync_lock_test_and_set for spinlocks on any machine.Tom Lane
If we have no special-case code in s_lock.h for the current platform, but the compiler has __sync_lock_test_and_set, use that instead of failing. It's unlikely that anybody's __sync_lock_test_and_set would be so awful as to be worse than our semaphore-based fallback, but if it is, they can (continue to) use --disable-spinlocks. This allows removal of the RISC-V special case installed by commit c32fcac56, which generated exactly the same code but only on that platform. Usefully, the RISC-V buildfarm animals should now test at least the int variant of this patch. I've manually tested both variants on ARM by dint of removing the ARM-specific stanza. We don't want to drop that, because it already has some special knowledge and is likely to grow more over time. Likewise, this is not meant to preclude installing special cases for other arches if that proves worthwhile. Per discussion of a request to install the same code for loongarch64. Like the previous patch, we might as well back-patch to supported branches.

2022-11-01Update time zone data files to tzdata release 2022f.Tom Lane
DST law changes in Chile, Fiji, Iran, Jordan, Mexico, Palestine, and Syria. Historical corrections for Chile, Crimea, Iran, and Mexico. Also, the Europe/Kiev zone has been renamed to Europe/Kyiv (retaining the old name as a link). The following zones have been merged into nearby, more-populous zones whose clocks have agreed since 1970: Antarctica/Vostok, Asia/Brunei, Asia/Kuala_Lumpur, Atlantic/Reykjavik, Europe/Amsterdam, Europe/Copenhagen, Europe/Luxembourg, Europe/Monaco, Europe/Oslo, Europe/Stockholm, Indian/Christmas, Indian/Cocos, Indian/Kerguelen, Indian/Mahe, Indian/Reunion, Pacific/Chuuk, Pacific/Funafuti, Pacific/Majuro, Pacific/Pohnpei, Pacific/Wake and Pacific/Wallis. (This indirectly affects zones that were already links to one of these: Arctic/Longyearbyen, Atlantic/Jan_Mayen, Iceland, Pacific/Ponape, Pacific/Truk, and Pacific/Yap.) America/Nipigon, America/Rainy_River, America/Thunder_Bay, Europe/Uzhgorod, and Europe/Zaporozhye were also merged into nearby zones after discovering that their claimed post-1970 differences from those zones seem to have been errors. While the IANA crew have been working on merging zones that have no post-1970 differences for some time, this batch of changes affects some zones that are significantly more populous than those merged in the past, notably parts of Europe. The loss of pre-1970 timezone history for those zones may be troublesome for applications expecting consistency of timestamptz display. As an example, the stored value '1944-06-01 12:00 UTC' would previously display as '1944-06-01 13:00:00+01' if the Europe/Stockholm zone is selected, but now it will read out as '1944-06-01 14:00:00+02'. There exists a "packrat" option that will build the timezone data files with this old data preserved, but the problem is that it also resurrects a bunch of other, far less well-attested data; so much so that actually more zones' contents change from 2022a with that option than without it. I have chosen not to do that here, for that reason and because it appears that no major OS distributions are using the "packrat" option, so that doing so would cause Postgres' behavior to diverge significantly depending on whether it was built with --with-system-tzdata. However, for anyone for whom these changes pose significant problems, there is a solution: build a set of timezone files with the "packrat" option and use those with Postgres.
2022-10-26Fix ordering issue with WAL operations in GIN fast insert pathMichael Paquier
Contrary to what is documented in src/backend/access/transam/README, ginHeapTupleFastInsert() had a few ordering issues with the way it does its WAL operations when inserting items in its fast path. First, when using a separate list, XLogBeginInsert() was being always called before START_CRIT_SECTION(), and in this case a second thing was wrong when merging lists, as an exclusive lock was taken on the tail page *before* calling XLogBeginInsert(). Finally, when inserting items into a tail page, the order of XLogBeginInsert() and START_CRIT_SECTION() was reversed. This commit addresses all these issues by moving the calls of XLogBeginInsert() after all the pages logged are locked and pinned, within a critical section. This has been applied first only on HEAD as of 56b6625, but as per discussion with Tom Lane and Álvaro Herrera, a backpatch is preferred to keep all the branches consistent and to respect the transam's README where we can.

We don't know whether the remote system is running the same OS as the local system, so it's not appropriate to assume that our local rule about absolute pathnames is the same as the rule on the remote system.

2022-10-20Fix assertion failures while processing NEW_CID record in logical decoding.Amit Kapila
When the logical decoding restarts from NEW_CID, since there is no association between the top transaction and its subtransaction, both are created as top transactions and have the same LSN. This caused the assertion failure in AssertTXNLsnOrder(). This patch skips the assertion check until we reach the LSN at which we start decoding the contents of the transaction, specifically start_decoding_at LSN in SnapBuild. This is okay because we don't guarantee to make the association between top transaction and subtransaction until we try to decode the actual contents of transaction. The ordering of the records prior to the start_decoding_at LSN should have been checked before the restart. The other assertion failure is due to the reason that we forgot to track that we have considered top-level transaction id in the list of catalog changing transactions that were committed when one of its subtransactions is marked as containing catalog change.

2022-10-17Reject non-ON-SELECT rules that are named "_RETURN".Tom Lane
DefineQueryRewrite() has long required that ON SELECT rules be named "_RETURN". But we overlooked the converse case: we should forbid non-ON-SELECT rules that are named "_RETURN".

2022-10-16Rename parser token REF to REF_P to avoid a symbol conflict.Tom Lane
In the latest version of Apple's macOS SDK, <sys/socket.h> fails to compile if "REF" is #define'd as something. Apple may or may not agree that this is a bug, and even if they do accept the bug report I filed, they probably won't fix it very quickly. In the meantime, our back branches will all fail to compile gram.y. v15 and HEAD currently escape the problem thanks to the refactoring done in 98e93a1fc, but that's purely accidental. Moreover, since that patch removed a widely-visible inclusion of <netdb.h>, back-patching it seems too likely to break third-party code. Instead, change the token's code name to REF_P, following our usual convention for naming parser tokens that are likely to have symbol conflicts. The effects of that should be localized to the grammar and immediately surrounding files, so it seems like a safer answer. Per project policy that we want to keep recently-out-of-support branches buildable on modern systems, back-patch all the way to 9.2.

2022-10-11Harden pmsignal.c against clobbered shared memory.Tom Lane
The postmaster is not supposed to do anything that depends fundamentally on shared memory contents, because that creates the risk that a backend crash that trashes shared memory will take the postmaster down with it, preventing automatic recovery. In commit 969d7cd43 I lost sight of this principle and coded AssignPostmasterChildSlot() in such a way that it could fail or even crash if the shared PMSignalState structure became corrupted. Remarkably, we've not seen field reports of such crashes; but I managed to induce one while testing the recent changes around palloc chunk headers. To fix, make a semi-duplicative state array inside the postmaster so that we need consult only local state while choosing a "child slot" for a new backend. Ensure that other postmaster-executed routines in pmsignal.c don't have critical dependencies on the shared state, either. Corruption of PMSignalState might now lead ReleasePostmasterChildSlot() to conclude that backend X failed, when actually backend Y was the one that trashed things. But that doesn't matter, because we'll force a cluster-wide reset regardless. Back-patch to all supported branches, since this is an old bug.

2022-10-11Yet further fixes for multi-row VALUES lists for updatable views.Tom Lane
DEFAULT markers appearing in an INSERT on an updatable view could be mis-processed if they were in a multi-row VALUES clause. This would lead to strange errors such as "cache lookup failed for type NNNN", or in older branches even to crashes. The cause is that commit 41531e42d tried to re-use rewriteValuesRTE() to remove any SetToDefault nodes (that hadn't previously been replaced by the view's own default values) appearing in "product" queries, that is DO ALSO queries. That's fundamentally wrong because the DO ALSO queries might not even be INSERTs; and even if they are, their targetlists don't necessarily match the view's column list, so that almost all the logic in rewriteValuesRTE() is inapplicable. What we want is a narrow focus on replacing any such nodes with NULL constants. (That is, in this context we are interpreting the defaults as being strictly those of the view itself; and we already replaced any that aren't NULL.) We could add still more !force_nulls tests to further lobotomize rewriteValuesRTE(); but it seems cleaner to split out this case to a new function, restoring rewriteValuesRTE() to the charter it had before. Per bug #17633 from jiye_sw. Patch by me, but thanks to Richard Guo and Japin Li for initial investigation. Back-patch to all supported branches, as the previous fix was.

Mop up assorted set-but-not-used warnings in the back branches. This includes back-patching relevant fixes from commit 152c9f7b8 the rest of the way, but there are also several cases that did not appear in HEAD. Some of those we'd fixed in a retail way but not back-patched, and others I think just got rewritten out of existence during nearby refactoring. While here, also back-patch b1980f6d0 (PL/Tcl: Fix compiler warnings with Tcl 8.6) into 9.2, so that that branch compiles warning-free with modern Tcl.

2022-09-20Suppress variable-set-but-not-used warnings from clang 15.Tom Lane
clang 15+ will issue a set-but-not-used warning when the only use of a variable is in autoincrements (e.g., "foo++;"). That's perfectly sensible, but it detects a few more cases that we'd not noticed before. Silence the warnings with our usual methods, such as PG_USED_FOR_ASSERTS_ONLY, or in one case by actually removing a useless variable. One thing that we can't nicely get rid of is that with %pure-parser, Bison emits "yynerrs" as a local variable that falls foul of this warning. To silence those, I inserted "(void) yynerrs;" in the top-level productions of affected grammars. Per recently-established project policy, this is a candidate for back-patching into out-of-support branches: it suppresses annoying compiler warnings but changes no behavior. Hence, back-patch to 9.5, which is as far as these patches go without issues.

2022-09-19Future-proof the recursion inside ExecShutdownNode().Tom Lane
The API contract for planstate_tree_walker() callbacks is that they take a PlanState pointer and a context pointer. Somebody figured they could save a couple lines of code by ignoring that, and passing ExecShutdownNode itself as the walker even though it has but one argument. Somewhat remarkably, we've gotten away with that so far. However, it seems clear that the upcoming C2x standard means to forbid such cases, and compilers that actively break such code likely won't be far behind. So spend the extra few lines of code to do it honestly with a separate walker function. In HEAD, we might as well go further and remove ExecShutdownNode's useless return value. I left that as-is in back branches though, to forestall complaints about ABI breakage. Back-patch, with the thought that this might become of practical importance before our stable branches are all out of service. It doesn't seem to be fixing any live bug on any currently known platform, however. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/208054.1663534665@sss.pgh.pa.us

2022-09-15In back branches, fix conditions for pullup of FROM-less subqueries.Tom Lane
In branches before commit 4be058fe9, we have to prevent flattening of subqueries with empty jointrees if the subqueries' output columns might need to be wrapped in PlaceHolderVars. That's because the empty jointree would result in empty phrels for the PlaceHolderVars, meaning we'd be unable to figure out where to evaluate them. However, we've failed to keep is_simple_subquery's check for this hazard in sync with what pull_up_simple_subquery actually does. The former is checking "lowest_outer_join != NULL", whereas the conditions pull_up_simple_subquery actually uses are if (lowest_nulling_outer_join != NULL) if (containing_appendrel != NULL) if (parse->groupingSets) So the outer-join test is overly conservative, while we missed out checking for appendrels and groupingSets. The appendrel omission is harmless, because in that case we also check is_safe_append_member which will also reject such subqueries. The groupingSets omission is a bug though, leading to assertion failures or planner errors such as "variable not found in subplan target lists". is_simple_subquery has access to none of the three variables used in the correct tests, but its callers do, so I chose to have them pass down a bool corresponding to the OR of these conditions. (The need for duplicative conditions would be a maintenance hazard in actively-developed code, but I'm not too concerned about it in branches that have only ~ 1 year to live.) Per bug #17614 from Wei Wei. Patch v10 and v11 only, since we have a better answer to this in v12 and later (indeed, the faulty check in is_simple_subquery is gone entirely).

This adds additional variants of palloc, pg_malloc, etc. that encapsulate common usage patterns and provide more type safety.

There are also palloc0_object() and palloc0_array() variants for initializing with zero, and pg_malloc_*() variants of all of the above. Inspired by the talloc library.

2022-09-09Fix possible omission of variable storage markers in ECPG.Tom Lane
The ECPG preprocessor converted code such as static varchar str1[10], str2[20], str3[30]; into static struct varchar_1 { int len; char arr[ 10 ]; } str1 ; struct varchar_2 { int len; char arr[ 20 ]; } str2 ; struct varchar_3 { int len; char arr[ 30 ]; } str3 ; thus losing the storage attribute for the later variables.

2022-09-06Further fixes for MULTIEXPR_SUBLINK fix.Tom Lane
Some more things I didn't think about in commits 3f7323cbb et al: MULTIEXPR_SUBLINK subplans might have been converted to initplans instead of regular subplans, in which case they won't show up in the modified targetlist. Fortunately, this would only happen if they have no input parameters, which means that the problem we originally needed to fix can't happen with them. Therefore, there's no need to clone their output parameters, and thus it doesn't hurt that we'll fail to see them in the first pass over the targetlist. Nonetheless, this complicates matters greatly, because now we have to distinguish output Params of initplans (which shouldn't get renumbered) from those of regular subplans (which should). This also breaks the simplistic scheme I used of assuming that the subplans found in the targetlist have consecutive subLinkIds. We really can't avoid the need to know the subplans' subLinkIds in this code. To fix that, add subLinkId as the last field of SubPlan. We can get away with that change in back branches because SubPlan nodes will never be stored in the catalogs, and there's no ABI break for external code that might be looking at the existing fields of SubPlan. Secondly, rewriteTargetListIU might have rolled up multiple FieldStores or SubscriptingRefs into one targetlist entry, breaking the assumption that there's at most one Param to fix per targetlist entry. (That assumption is OK I think in the ruleutils.c code I stole the logic from in 18f51083c, because that only deals with pre-rewrite query trees. But it's definitely not OK here.) Abandon that shortcut and just do a full tree walk on the targetlist to ensure we find all the Params we have to change. Per bug #17606 from Andre Lin. As before, only v10-v13 need the patch.

2022-09-05Backpatch nbtree page deletion hardening.Peter Geoghegan
Postgres 14 commit 5b861baa taught nbtree VACUUM to tolerate buggy opclasses. VACUUM's inability to locate a to-be-deleted page's downlink in the parent page was logged instead of throwing an error. VACUUM could just press on with vacuuming the index, and vacuuming the table as a whole. There are now anecdotal reports of this error causing problems that were much more disruptive than the underlying index corruption ever could be.

2022-09-02Fix oversight in recent MULTIEXPR_SUBLINK fix.Tom Lane
Commits 3f7323cbb et al missed the possibility that the Params they are looking for could be buried under implicit coercions, as well as other stuff that processIndirection() could add to the original targetlist entry. Copy the code in ruleutils.c that deals with such cases. (I thought about refactoring so that there's just one copy; but seeing that we only need this in old back branches, it seems not worth the trouble.) Per off-list report from Andre Lin. As before, only v10-v13 need the patch. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/17596-c5357f61427a81dc@postgresql.org
2022-09-01Fix some possibly latent bugs in slab.cDavid Rowley
Primarily, this fixes an incorrect calculation in SlabCheck which was looking in the wrong byte for the sentinel check. The reason that we've never noticed this before in the form of a failing sentinel check is because the pre-check to this always fails because all current core users of slab contexts have a chunk size which is already MAXALIGNed, therefore there's never any space for the sentinel byte. It is possible that an extension needs to use a slab context and if they do with a chunk size that's not MAXALIGNed, then they'll likely get errors about overwritten sentinel bytes. Additionally, this patch changes various calculations which are being done based on the sizeof(SlabBlock). Currently, sizeof(SlabBlock) is a multiple of 8, therefore sizeof(SlabBlock) is the same as MAXALIGN(sizeof(SlabBlock)), however, if we were to ever have to add any fields to that struct as part of a bug fix, then SlabAlloc could end up returning a non-MAXALIGNed pointer. To be safe, let's ensure we always MAXALIGN sizeof(SlabBlock) before using it in any calculations. This patch has already been applied to master in d5ee4db0e.

2022-09-01Port regress-python3-mangle.mk to Solaris "sed", redux.Tom Lane
Per experimentation and buildfarm failures, Solaris' "sed" has got some kind of problem with regexes that use both '*' and '[[:alpha:]]'. We can work around that by replacing '[[:alpha:]]' with '[a-zA-Z]', which is plenty good enough for our purposes, especially since this is only needed in long-stable branches. I chose to flat-out remove the second pattern of this sort, 's/except \([a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z.]*\), *\([a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z]*\):/except \1 as \2:/g' because we haven't needed it since 8.4. Follow-on to c3556f6fa, which probably missed catching this because the problematic pattern was already gone when that patch was written. Patch v10-v12 only, as the problem manifests only there. We have a line of dead code in v13-v14, which isn't worth changing, and the whole mess is gone as of v15.

2022-08-31Prevent long-term memory leakage in autovacuum launcher.Tom Lane
get_database_list() failed to restore the caller's memory context, instead leaving current context set to TopMemoryContext which is how CommitTransactionCommand() leaves it. The callers both think they are using short-lived contexts, for the express purpose of not having to worry about cleaning up individual allocations. The net effect therefore is that supposedly short-lived allocations could accumulate indefinitely in the launcher's TopMemoryContext. Although this has been broken for a long time, it seems we didn't have any obvious memory leak here until v15's rearrangement of the stats logic. I (tgl) am not entirely convinced that there's no other leak at all, though, and we're surely at risk of adding one in future back-patched fixes. So back-patch to all supported branches, even though this may be only a latent bug in pre-v15.

2022-08-31In the Snowball dictionary, don't try to stem excessively-long words.Tom Lane
If the input word exceeds 1000 bytes, don't pass it to the stemmer; just return it as-is after case folding. Such an input is surely not a word in any human language, so whatever the stemmer might do to it would be pretty dubious in the first place. Adding this restriction protects us against a known recursion-to-stack-overflow problem in the Turkish stemmer, and it seems like good insurance against any other safety or performance issues that may exist in the Snowball stemmers. (I note, for example, that they contain no CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS calls, so we really don't want them running for a long time.) The threshold of 1000 bytes is arbitrary. An alternative definition could have been to treat such words as stopwords, but that seems like a bigger break from the old behavior. Per report from Egor Chindyaskin and Alexander Lakhin. Thanks to Olly Betts for the recommendation to fix it this way. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/1661334672.728714027@f473.i.mail.ru
2022-08-30On NetBSD, force dynamic symbol resolution at postmaster start.Tom Lane
The default of lazy symbol resolution means that when the postmaster first reaches the select() call in ServerLoop, it'll need to resolve the link to that libc entry point. NetBSD's dynamic loader takes an internal lock while doing that, and if a signal interrupts the operation then there is a risk of self-deadlock should the signal handler do anything that requires that lock, as several of the postmaster signal handlers do. The window for this is pretty narrow, and timing considerations make it unlikely that a signal would arrive right then anyway. But it's semi-repeatable on slow single-CPU machines, and in principle the race could happen with any hardware. The least messy solution to this is to force binding of dynamic symbols at postmaster start, using the "-z now" linker option. While we're at it, also use "-z relro" so as to provide a small security gain. It's not entirely clear whether any other platforms share this issue, but for now we'll assume it's NetBSD-specific. (We might later try to use "-z now" on more platforms for performance reasons, but that would not likely be something to back-patch.) Report and patch by me; the idea to fix it this way is from Andres Freund. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/3384826.1661802235@sss.pgh.pa.us
2022-08-29Prevent WAL corruption after a standby promotion.Robert Haas
When a PostgreSQL instance performing archive recovery but not using standby mode is promoted, and the last WAL segment that it attempted to read ended in a partial record, the previous code would create invalid WAL on the new timeline. The WAL from the previously timeline would be copied to the new timeline up until the end of the last valid record, but instead of beginning to write WAL at immediately afterwards, the promoted server would write an overwrite contrecord at the beginning of the next segment. The end of the previous segment would be left as all-zeroes, resulting in failures if anything tried to read WAL from that file. The root of the issue is that ReadRecord() decides whether to set abortedRecPtr and missingContrecPtr based on the value of StandbyMode, but ReadRecord() switches to a new timeline based on the value of ArchiveRecoveryRequested. We shouldn't try to write an overwrite contrecord if we're switching to a new timeline, so change the test in ReadRecod() to check ArchiveRecoveryRequested instead. Code fix by Dilip Kumar. Comments by me incorporating suggested language from Álvaro Herrera. Further review from Kyotaro Horiguchi and Sami Imseih.

2022-08-27Repair rare failure of MULTIEXPR_SUBLINK subplans in inherited updates.Tom Lane
Prior to v14, if we have a MULTIEXPR SubPlan (that is, use of the syntax UPDATE ... SET (c1, ...) = (SELECT ...)) in an UPDATE with an inherited or partitioned target table, inheritance_planner() will clone the targetlist and therefore also the MULTIEXPR SubPlan and the Param nodes referencing it for each child target table. Up to now, we've allowed all the clones to share the underlying subplan as well as the output parameter IDs -- that is, the runtime ParamExecData slots. That technique is borrowed from the far older code that supports initplans, and it works okay in that case because the cloned SubPlan nodes are essentially identical. So it doesn't matter which one of the clones the shared ParamExecData.execPlan field might point to. However, this fails to hold for MULTIEXPR SubPlans, because they can have nonempty "args" lists (values to be passed into the subplan), and those lists could get mutated to different states in the various clones. In the submitted reproducer, as well as the test case added here, one clone contains Vars with varno OUTER_VAR where another has INNER_VAR, because the child tables are respectively on the outer or inner side of the join. Sharing the execPlan pointer can result in trying to evaluate an args list that doesn't match the local execution state, with mayhem ensuing. The result often is to trigger consistency checks in the executor, but I believe this could end in a crash or incorrect updates. To fix, assign new Param IDs to each of the cloned SubPlans, so that they don't share ParamExecData slots at runtime. It still seems fine for the clones to share the underlying subplan, and extra ParamExecData slots are cheap enough that this fix shouldn't cost much. This has been busted since we invented MULTIEXPR SubPlans in 9.5. Probably the lack of previous reports is because query plans in which the different clones of a MULTIEXPR mutate to effectively-different states are pretty rare. There's no issue in v14 and later, because without inheritance_planner() there's never a reason to clone MULTIEXPR SubPlans. Per bug #17596 from Andre Lin. Patch v10-v13 only.

2022-08-24Defend against stack overrun in a few more places.Tom Lane
SplitToVariants() in the ispell code, lseg_inside_poly() in geo_ops.c, and regex_selectivity_sub() in selectivity estimation could recurse until stack overflow; fix by adding check_stack_depth() calls. So could next() in the regex compiler, but that case is better fixed by converting its tail recursion to a loop. (We probably get better code that way too, since next() can now be inlined into its sole caller.) There remains a reachable stack overrun in the Turkish stemmer, but we'll need some advice from the Snowball people about how to fix that. Per report from Egor Chindyaskin and Alexander Lakhin.

2022-08-15Add missing bad-PGconn guards in libpq entry points.Tom Lane
There's a convention that externally-visible libpq functions should check for a NULL PGconn pointer, and fail gracefully instead of crashing. PQflush() and PQisnonblocking() didn't get that memo though. Also add a similar check to PQdefaultSSLKeyPassHook_OpenSSL; while it's not clear that ordinary usage could reach that with a null conn pointer, it's cheap enough to check, so let's be consistent.

2022-08-14Preserve memory context of VarStringSortSupport buffers.Tom Lane
When enlarging the work buffers of a VarStringSortSupport object, varstrfastcmp_locale was careful to keep them in the ssup_cxt memory context; but varstr_abbrev_convert just used palloc(). The latter creates a hazard that the buffers could be freed out from under the VarStringSortSupport object, resulting in stomping on whatever gets allocated in that memory later. In practice, because we only use this code for ICU collations (cf. 3df9c374e), the problem is confined to use of ICU collations. I believe it may have been unreachable before the introduction of incremental sort, too, as traditional sorting usually just uses one context for the duration of the sort. We could fix this by making the broken stanzas in varstr_abbrev_convert match the non-broken ones in varstrfastcmp_locale. However, it seems like a better idea to dodge the issue altogether by replacing the pfree-and-allocate-anew coding with repalloc, which automatically preserves the chunk's memory context. This fix does add a few cycles because repalloc will copy the chunk's content, which the existing coding assumes is useless. However, we don't expect that these buffer enlargement operations are performance-critical. Besides that, it's far from obvious that copying the buffer contents isn't required, since these stanzas make no effort to mark the buffers invalid by resetting last_returned, cache_blob, etc. That seems to be safe upon examination, but it's fragile and could easily get broken in future, which wouldn't get revealed in testing with short-to-moderate-size strings. Per bug #17584 from James Inform. Whether or not the issue is reachable in the older branches, this code has been broken on its own terms from its introduction, so patch all the way back.

Most parts of the parser can expect that the stack overflow check in transformExprRecurse() will trigger before things get desperate.

As of 897795240cfaaed724af2f53ed2c50c9862f951f, check constraints can be declared invalid.

Remove that. 87d3b35a1ca31a9d947a8f919a6006679216dff0 changed pg_upgrade to checking the checksum version rather than just the Boolean presence of checksums, but didn't change the field type in its ControlData struct from bool. So this would not work correctly if there ever is a checksum version larger than 1.
2022-08-12Fix _outConstraint() for "identity" constraintsPeter Eisentraut
The set of fields printed by _outConstraint() in the CONSTR_IDENTITY case didn't match the set of fields actually used in that case. (The code was probably uncarefully copied from the CONSTR_DEFAULT case.) Fix that by using the right set of fields. Since there is no read support for this node type, this is really just for debugging output right now, so it doesn't affect anything important.
