Michael Paquier	e7bff46e50	pageinspect: Fix gist_page_items() with included columns ... Non-leaf pages of GiST indexes contain key attributes, leaf pages contain both key and non-key attributes, and gist_page_items() ignored the handling of non-key attributes. This caused a few problems when using gist_page_items() on a GiST index with INCLUDE: - On a non-leaf page, the function would crash. - On a leaf page, the function would work, but miss to display all the values for included attributes. This commit fixes gist_page_items() to handle such cases in a more appropriate way, and now displays the values of key and non-key attributes for each item separately in a style consistent with what ruleutils.c would generate for the attribute list, depending on the page type dealt with. In a way similar to how a record is displayed, values would be double-quoted for key or non-key attributes if required. ruleutils.c did not provide a routine able to control if non-key attributes should be displayed, so an extended() routine for index definitions is added to work around the leaf and non-leaf page differences. While on it, this commit fixes a third problem related to the amount of data reported for key attributes. The code originally relied on BuildIndexValueDescription() (used for error reports on constraints) that would not print all the data stored in the index but the index opclass's input type, so this limited the amount of information available. This switch makes gist_page_items() much cheaper as there is no need to run ACL checks for each item printed, which is not an issue anyway as superuser rights are required to execute the functions of pageinspect. Opclasses whose data cannot be displayed can rely on gist_page_items_bytea(). The documentation of this function was slightly incorrect for the output results generated on HEAD and v15, so adjust it on these branches.

Michael Paquier	be753639d3	pageinspect: Fix crash with gist_page_items() ... Attempting to use this function with a raw page not coming from a GiST index would cause a crash, as it was missing the same sanity checks as gist_page_items_bytea(). This slightly refactors the code so as all the basic validation checks for GiST pages are done in a single routine, in the same fashion as the pageinspect functions for hash and BRIN. This fixes an issue similar to 076f4d9. A test is added to stress for this case. While on it, I have added a similar test for brin_page_items() with a combination make of a valid GiST index and a raw btree page. This one was already protected, but it was not tested.

Michael Paquier	cd4868a570	pageinspect: Fix handling of all-zero pages ... Getting from get_raw_page() an all-zero page is considered as a valid case by the buffer manager and it can happen for example when finding a corrupted page with zero_damaged_pages enabled (using zero_damaged_pages to look at corrupted pages happens), or after a crash when a relation file is extended before any WAL for its new data is generated (before a vacuum or autovacuum job comes in to do some cleanup). However, all the functions of pageinspect, as of the index AMs (except hash that has its own idea of new pages), heap, the FSM or the page header have never worked with all-zero pages, causing various crashes when going through the page internals. This commit changes all the pageinspect functions to be compliant with all-zero pages, where the choice is made to return NULL or no rows for SRFs when finding a new page. get_raw_page() still works the same way, returning a batch of zeros in the bytea of the page retrieved. A hard error could be used but NULL, while more invasive, is useful when scanning relation files in full to get a batch of results for a single relation in one query. Tests are added for all the code paths impacted.

Michael Paquier	291e517a4d	pageinspect: Add more sanity checks to prevent out-of-bound reads ... A couple of code paths use the special area on the page passed by the function caller, expecting to find some data in it. However, feeding an incorrect page can lead to out-of-bound reads when trying to access the page special area (like a heap page that has no special area, leading PageGetSpecialPointer() to grab a pointer outside the allocated page). The functions used for hash and btree indexes have some protection already against that, while some other functions using a relation OID as argument would make sure that the access method involved is correct, but functions taking in input a raw page without knowing the relation the page is attached to would run into problems. This commit improves the set of checks used in the code paths of BRIN, btree (including one check if a leaf page is found with a non-zero level), GIN and GiST to verify that the page given in input has a special area size that fits with each access method, which is done though PageGetSpecialSize(), becore calling PageGetSpecialPointer(). The scope of the checks done is limited to work with pages that one would pass after getting a block with get_raw_page(), as it is possible to craft byteas that could bypass existing code paths. Having too many checks would also impact the usability of pageinspect, as the existing code is very useful to look at the content details in a corrupted page, so the focus is really to avoid out-of-bound reads as this is never a good thing even with functions whose execution is limited to superusers. The safest approach could be to rework the functions so as these fetch a block using a relation OID and a block number, but there are also cases where using a raw page is useful. Tests are added to cover all the code paths that needed such checks, and an error message for hash indexes is reworded to fit better with what this commit adds.

Michael Paquier	076f4d9539	pageinspect: Fix handling of page sizes and AM types ... This commit fixes a set of issues related to the use of the SQL functions in this module when the caller is able to pass down raw page data as input argument: - The page size check was fuzzy in a couple of places, sometimes looking after only a sub-range, but what we are looking for is an exact match on BLCKSZ. After considering a few options here, I have settled down to do a generalization of get_page_from_raw(). Most of the SQL functions already used that, and this is not strictly required if not accessing an 8-byte-wide value from a raw page, but this feels safer in the long run for alignment-picky environment, particularly if a code path begins to access such values. This also reduces the number of strings that need to be translated. - The BRIN function brin_page_items() uses a Relation but it did not check the access method of the opened index, potentially leading to crashes. All the other functions in need of a Relation already did that. - Some code paths could fail on elog(), but we should to use ereport() for failures that can be triggered by the user. Tests are added to stress all the cases that are fixed as of this commit, with some junk raw pages (\set VERBOSITY ensures that this works across all page sizes) and unexpected index types when functions open relations.

Heikki Linnakangas	5abca4b1cd	Fix test failure with wal_level=minimal. ... The newly-added gist pageinspect test prints the LSNs of GiST pages, expecting them all to be 1 (GistBuildLSN). But with wal_level=minimal, they got updated by the whole-relation WAL-logging at commit. Fix by wrapping the problematic tests in the same transaction with the CREATE INDEX. Per buildfarm failure on thorntail. Discussion: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/3B4F97E5-40FB-4142-8CAA-B301CDFBF982%40iki.fi	5 years ago
Heikki Linnakangas	6ecaaf810b	Fix portability issues in the new gist pageinspect test. ... 1. The raw bytea representation of the point-type keys used in the test depends on endianess. Remove the raw key_data column from the test. 2. The items stored on non-leftmost gist page depends on how many items git on the other pages. This showed up as a failure on 32-bit i386 systems. To fix, only test the gist_page_items() function on the leftmost leaf page. Per Andrey Borodin and the buildfarm.
