Tom Lane	bb649b553c	Simplify executor's determination of whether to use parallelism. ... Our parallel-mode code only works when we are executing a query in full, so ExecutePlan must disable parallel mode when it is asked to do partial execution. The previous logic for this involved passing down a flag (variously named execute_once or run_once) from callers of ExecutorRun or PortalRun. This is overcomplicated, and unsurprisingly some of the callers didn't get it right, since it requires keeping state that not all of them have handy; not to mention that the requirements for it were undocumented. That led to assertion failures in some corner cases. The only state we really need for this is the existing QueryDesc.already_executed flag, so let's just put all the responsibility in ExecutePlan. (It could have been done in ExecutorRun too, leading to a slightly shorter patch -- but if there's ever more than one caller of ExecutePlan, it seems better to have this logic in the subroutine than the callers.) This makes those ExecutorRun/PortalRun parameters unnecessary. In master it seems okay to just remove them, returning the API for those functions to what it was before parallelism. Such an API break is clearly not okay in stable branches, but for them we can just leave the parameters in place after documenting that they do nothing. Per report from Yugo Nagata, who also reviewed and tested this patch. Back-patch to all supported branches.

Michael Paquier	ec194b448c	Improve comment about dropped entries in pgstat.c ... pgstat_write_statsfile() discards any entries marked as dropped from being written to the stats file at shutdown, and also included an assertion based on the same condition. The intention of the assertion is to track that no pgstats entries should be left around as terminating backends should drop any entries they still hold references on before the stats file is written by the checkpointer, and it not worth taking down the server in this case if there is a bug making that possible. Let's improve the comment of this area to document clearly what's intended. Based on a discussion with Bertrand Drouvot and Anton A. Melnikov.

Michael Paquier	ae77bcc3aa	Fix invalidation of local pgstats references for entry reinitialization ... 818119afcc has introduced the "generation" concept in pgstats entries, incremented a counter when a pgstats entry is reinitialized, but it did not count on the fact that backends still holding local references to such entries need to be refreshed if the cache age is outdated. The previous logic only updated local references when an entry was dropped, but it needs also to consider entries that are reinitialized. This matters for replication slot stats (as well as custom pgstats kinds in 18~), where concurrent drops and creates of a slot could cause incorrect stats to be locally referenced. This would lead to an assertion failure at shutdown when writing out the stats file, as the backend holding an outdated local reference would not be able to drop during its shutdown sequence the stats entry that should be dropped, as the last process holding a reference to the stats entry. The checkpointer was then complaining about such an entry late in the shutdown sequence, after the shutdown checkpoint is finished with the control file updated, causing the stats file to not be generated. In non-assert builds, the entry would just be skipped with the stats file written. Note that only logical replication slots use statistics. A test case based on TAP is added to test_decoding, where a persistent connection peeking at a slot's data is kept with concurrent drops and creates of the same slot. This is based on the isolation test case that Anton has sent. As it requires a node shutdown with a check to make sure that the stats file is written with this specific sequence of events, TAP is used instead. Reported-by: Anton A.

David Rowley	c1d6506acc	Fix possible crash during WindowAgg evaluation ... When short-circuiting WindowAgg node evaluation on the top-level WindowAgg node using quals on monotonic window functions, because the WindowAgg run condition can mean there's no need to evaluate subsequent window function results in the same partition once the run condition becomes false, it was possible that the executor would use stale results from the previous invocation of the window function in some cases. A fix for this was partially done by a5832722, but that commit only fixed the issue for non-top-level WindowAgg nodes. I mistakenly thought that the top-level WindowAgg didn't have this issue, but Jayesh's example case clearly shows that's incorrect. At the time, I also thought that this only affected 32-bit systems as all window functions which then supported run conditions returned BIGINT, however, that's wrong as ExecProject is still called and that could cause evaluation of any other window function belonging to the same WindowAgg node, one of which may return a byref type. The only queries affected by this are WindowAggs with a "Run Condition" which contains at least one window function with a byref result type, such as lead() or lag() on a byref column. The window clause must also contain a PARTITION BY clause (without a PARTITION BY, execution of the WindowAgg stops immediately when the run condition becomes false and there's no risk of using the stale results).

Tom Lane	be5db08ed3	Ensure that pg_amop/amproc entries depend on their lefttype/righttype. ... Usually an entry in pg_amop or pg_amproc does not need a dependency on its amoplefttype/amoprighttype/amproclefttype/amprocrighttype types, because there is an indirect dependency via the argument types of its referenced operator or procedure, or via the opclass it belongs to. However, for some support procedures in some index AMs, the argument types of the support procedure might not mention the column data type at all. Also, the amop/amproc entry might be treated as "loose" in the opfamily, in which case it lacks a dependency on any particular opclass; or it might be a cross-type entry having a reference to a datatype that is not its opclass' opcintype. The upshot of all this is that there are cases where a datatype can be dropped while leaving behind amop/amproc entries that mention it, because there is no path in pg_depend showing that those entries depend on that type. Such entries are harmless in normal activity, because they won't get used, but they cause problems for maintenance actions such as dropping the operator family. They also cause pg_dump to produce bogus output. The previous commit put a band-aid on the DROP OPERATOR FAMILY failure, but a real fix is needed. To fix, add pg_depend entries showing that a pg_amop/pg_amproc entry depends on its lefttype/righttype. To avoid bloating pg_depend too much, skip this if the referenced operator or function has that type as an input type. (I did not bother with considering the possible indirect dependency via the opclass' opcintype; at least in the reported case, that wouldn't help anyway.) Probably, the reason this has escaped notice for so long is that add-on datatypes and relevant opclasses/opfamilies are usually packaged as extensions nowadays, so that there's no way to drop a type without dropping the referencing opclasses/opfamilies too. Still, in the absence of pg_depend entries there's nothing that constrains DROP EXTENSION to drop the opfamily entries before the datatype, so it seems possible for a DROP failure to occur anyway. The specific case that was reported doesn't fail in v13, because v13 prefers to attach the support procedure to the opclass not the opfamily. But it's surely possible to construct other edge cases that do fail in v13, so patch that too. Per report from Yoran Heling. Back-patch to all supported branches.

Tom Lane	faad018350	Make getObjectDescription robust against dangling amproc type links. ... Yoran Heling reported a case where a data type could be dropped while references to its OID remain behind in pg_amproc. This causes getObjectDescription to fail, which blocks dropping the operator family (since our DROP code likes to construct descriptions of everything it's dropping). The proper fix for this requires adding more pg_depend entries. But to allow DROP to go through with already-corrupt catalogs, tweak getObjectDescription to print "???" for the type instead of failing when it processes such an entry. I changed the logic for pg_amop similarly, for consistency, although it is not known that the problem can manifest in pg_amop. Per report from Yoran Heling.

Tom Lane	26c233b8b8	Fix is_digit labeling of to_timestamp's FFn format codes. ... These format codes produce or consume strings of digits, so they should be labeled with is_digit = true, but they were not. This has effect in only one place, where is_next_separator() is checked to see if the preceding format code should slurp up all the available digits. Thus, with a format such as '...SSFF3' with remaining input '12345', the 'SS' code would consume all five digits (and then complain about seconds being out of range) when it should eat only two digits. Per report from Nick Davies. This bug goes back to d589f9446 where the FFn codes were introduced, so back-patch to v13.

Thomas Munro	ad5aa7bfd0	RelationTruncate() must set DELAY_CHKPT_START. ... Previously, it set only DELAY_CHKPT_COMPLETE. That was important, because it meant that if the XLOG_SMGR_TRUNCATE record preceded a XLOG_CHECKPOINT_ONLINE record in the WAL, then the truncation would also happen on disk before the XLOG_CHECKPOINT_ONLINE record was written. However, it didn't guarantee that the sync request for the truncation was processed before the XLOG_CHECKPOINT_ONLINE record was written. By setting DELAY_CHKPT_START, we guarantee that if an XLOG_SMGR_TRUNCATE record is written to WAL before the redo pointer of a concurrent checkpoint, the sync request queued by that operation must be processed by that checkpoint, rather than being left for the following one.

Tom Lane	cca34f68c6	Fix broken list-munging in ecpg's remove_variables(). ... The loops over cursor argument variables neglected to ever advance "prevvar". The code would accidentally do the right thing anyway when removing the first or second list entry, but if it had to remove the third or later entry then it would also remove all entries between there and the first entry. AFAICS this would only matter for cursors that reference out-of-scope variables, which is a weird Informix compatibility hack; between that and the lack of impact for short lists, it's not so surprising that nobody has complained. Nonetheless it's a pretty obvious bug. It would have been more obvious if these loops used a more standard coding style for chasing the linked lists --- this business with the "prev" pointer sometimes pointing at the current list entry is confusing and overcomplicated. So rather than just add a minimal band-aid, I chose to rewrite the loops in the same style we use elsewhere, where the "prev" pointer is NULL until we are dealing with a non-first entry and we save the "next" pointer at the top of the loop. (Two of the four loops touched here are not actually buggy, but it seems better to make them all look alike.) Coverity discovered this problem, but not until 2b41de4a5 added code to free no-longer-needed arguments structs. With that, the incorrect link updates are possibly touching freed memory, and it complained about that. Nonetheless the list corruption hazard is ancient, so back-patch to all supported branches.	1 year ago
Tom Lane	7b456f040f	Avoid mislabeling of lateral references, redux. ... As I'd feared, commit 5c9d8636d was still a few bricks shy of a load. We can't just leave pulled-up lateral-reference Vars with no new nullingrels: we have to carefully compute what subset of the to-be-replaced Var's nullingrels apply to them, else we still get "wrong varnullingrels" errors. This is a bit tedious, but it looks like we can use the nullingrel data this patch computes for other purposes, enabling better optimization. We don't want to inject unnecessary plan changes into stable branches though, so leave that idea for a later HEAD-only patch. Patch by me, but thanks to Richard Guo for devising a test case that broke 5c9d8636d, and for preliminary investigation about how to fix it. As before, back-patch to v16.

Tom Lane	85990e2fd5	Avoid mislabeling of lateral references when pulling up a subquery. ... If we are pulling up a subquery that's under an outer join, and the subquery's target list contains a strict expression that uses both a subquery variable and a lateral-reference variable, it's okay to pull up the expression without wrapping it in a PlaceHolderVar. That's safe because if the subquery variable is forced to NULL by the outer join, the expression result will come out as NULL too, so we don't have to force that outcome by evaluating the expression below the outer join. It'd be correct to wrap in a PHV, but that can lead to very significantly worse plans, since we'd then have to use a nestloop plan to pass down the lateral reference to where the expression will be evaluated. However, when we do that, we should not mark the lateral reference variable as being nulled by the outer join, because it isn't after we pull up the expression in this way. So the marking logic added by cb8e50a4a was incorrect in this detail, leading to "wrong varnullingrels" errors from the consistency-checking logic in setrefs.c. It seems to be sufficient to just not mark lateral references at all in this case. (I have a nagging feeling that more complexity may be needed in cases where there are several levels of outer join, but some attempts to break it with that didn't succeed.) Per report from Bertrand Mamasam. Back-patch to v16, as the previous patch was. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACZ67_UA_EVrqiFXJu9XK50baEpH=ofEPJswa2kFxg6xuSw-ww@mail.gmail.com	1 year ago

Michael Paquier	a8abd36e88	Handle better implicit transaction state of pipeline mode ... When using a pipeline, a transaction starts from the first command and is committed with a Sync message or when the pipeline ends. Functions like IsInTransactionBlock() or PreventInTransactionBlock() were already able to understand a pipeline as being in a transaction block, but it was not the case of CheckTransactionBlock(). This function is called for example to generate a WARNING for SET LOCAL, complaining that it is used outside of a transaction block. The current state of the code caused multiple problems, like: - SET LOCAL executed at any stage of a pipeline issued a WARNING, even if the command was at least second in line where the pipeline is in a transaction state. - LOCK TABLE failed when invoked at any step of a pipeline, even if it should be able to work within a transaction block. The pipeline protocol assumes that the first command of a pipeline is not part of a transaction block, and that any follow-up commands is considered as within a transaction block. This commit changes the backend so as an implicit transaction block is started each time the first Execute message of a pipeline has finished processing, with this implicit transaction block ended once a sync is processed. The checks based on XACT_FLAGS_PIPELINING in the routines checking if we are in a transaction block are not necessary: it is enough to rely on the existing ones. Some tests are added to pgbench, that can be backpatched down to v17 when \syncpipeline is involved and down to v14 where \startpipeline and \endpipeline are available. This is unfortunately limited regarding the error patterns that can be checked, but it provides coverage for various pipeline combinations to check if these succeed or fail. These tests are able to capture the case of SET LOCAL's WARNING. The author has proposed a different feature to improve the coverage by adding similar meta-commands to psql where error messages could be checked, something more useful for the cases where commands cannot be used in transaction blocks, like REINDEX CONCURRENTLY or VACUUM. This is considered as future work for v18~.

Tom Lane	4aba56adcd	Fix NULLIF()'s handling of read-write expanded objects. ... If passed a read-write expanded object pointer, the EEOP_NULLIF code would hand that same pointer to the equality function and then (unless equality was reported) also return the same pointer as its value. This is no good, because a function that receives a read-write expanded object pointer is fully entitled to scribble on or even delete the object, thus corrupting the NULLIF output.

Tom Lane	1f4aadec41	Update configure probes for CFLAGS needed for ARM CRC instructions. ... On ARM platforms where the baseline CPU target lacks CRC instructions, we need to supply a -march flag to persuade the compiler to compile such instructions. It turns out that our existing choice of "-march=armv8-a+crc" has not worked for some time, because recent gcc will interpret that as selecting software floating point, and then will spit up if the platform requires hard-float ABI, as most do nowadays. The end result was to silently fall back to software CRC, which isn't very desirable since in practice almost all currently produced ARM chips do have hardware CRC. We can fix this by using "-march=armv8-a+crc+simd" to enable the correct ABI choice. (This has no impact on the code actually generated, since neither of the files we compile with this flag does any floating-point stuff, let alone SIMD.) Keep the test for "-march=armv8-a+crc" since that's required for soft-float ABI, but try that second since most platforms we're likely to build on use hard-float.

Thomas Munro	0f6d902308	Assume that <stdbool.h> conforms to the C standard. ... Previously we checked "for <stdbool.h> that conforms to C99" using autoconf's AC_HEADER_STDBOOL macro. We've required C99 since PostgreSQL 12, so the test was redundant, and under C23 it was broken: autoconf 2.69's implementation doesn't understand C23's new empty header (the macros it's looking for went away, replaced by language keywords). Later autoconf versions fixed that, but let's just remove the anachronistic test. HAVE_STDBOOL_H and HAVE__BOOL will no longer be defined, but they weren't directly tested in core or likely extensions (except in 11, see below). PG_USE_STDBOOL (or USE_STDBOOL in 11 and 12) is still defined when sizeof(bool) is 1, which should be true on all modern systems. Otherwise we define our own bool type and values of size 1, which would fail to compile under C23 as revealed by the broken test. (We'll probably clean that dead code up in master, but here we want a minimal back-patchable change.) This came to our attention when GCC 15 recently started using using C23 by default and failed to compile the replacement code, as reported by Sam James and build farm animal alligator. Back-patch to all supported releases, and then two older versions that also know about <stdbool.h>, per the recently-out-of-support policy[1]. 12 requires C99 so it's much like the supported releases, but 11 only assumes C89 so it now uses AC_CHECK_HEADERS instead of the overly picky AC_HEADER_STDBOOL. (I could find no discussion of which historical systems had <stdbool.h> but failed the conformance test; if they ever existed, they surely aren't relevant to that policy's goals.)

Thomas Munro	6de14dbb36	jit: Use -mno-outline-atomics for bitcode on ARM. ... If the executable's .o files were produced by a compiler (probably gcc) not using -moutline-atomics, and the corresponding .bc files were produced by clang using -moutline-atomics (probably by default), then the generated bitcode functions would have the target attribute "+outline-atomics", and could fail at runtime when inlined. If the target ISA at bitcode generation time was armv8-a (the most conservative aarch64 target, no LSE), then LLVM IR atomic instructions would generate calls to functions in libgcc.a or libclang_rt.*.a that switch between LL/SC and faster LSE instructions depending on a runtime AT_HWCAP check. Since the corresponding .o files didn't need those functions, they wouldn't have been included in the executable, and resolution would fail. At least Debian and Ubuntu are known to ship gcc and clang compilers that target armv8-a but differ on the use of outline atomics by default. Fix, by suppressing the outline atomics attribute in bitcode explicitly. Inline LL/SC instructions will be generated for atomic operations in bitcode built for armv8-a. Only configure scripts are adjusted for now, because the meson build system doesn't generate bitcode yet. This doesn't seem to be a new phenomenon, so real cases of functions using atomics that are inlined by JIT must be rare in the wild given how long it took for a bug report to arrive. The reported case could be reduced to: postgres=# set jit_inline_above_cost = 0; SET postgres=# set jit_above_cost = 0; SET postgres=# select pg_last_wal_receive_lsn(); WARNING: failed to resolve name __aarch64_swp4_acq_rel FATAL: fatal llvm error: Program used external function '__aarch64_swp4_acq_rel' which could not be resolved!

Michael Paquier	e749eaf46e	Fix memory leak in pgoutput for the WAL sender ... RelationSyncCache, the hash table in charge of tracking the relation schemas sent through pgoutput, was forgetting to free the TupleDesc associated to the two slots used to store the new and old tuples, causing some memory to be leaked each time a relation is invalidated when the slots of an existing relation entry are cleaned up. This is rather hard to notice as the bloat is pretty minimal, but a long-running WAL sender would be in trouble over time depending on the workload. sysbench has proved to be pretty good at showing the problem, coupled with some memory monitoring of the WAL sender.

Tom Lane	fe084039e4	Avoid assertion failure if a setop leaf query contains setops. ... Ordinarily transformSetOperationTree will collect all UNION/ INTERSECT/EXCEPT steps into the setOperations tree of the topmost Query, so that leaf queries do not contain any setOperations. However, it cannot thus flatten a subquery that also contains WITH, ORDER BY, FOR UPDATE, or LIMIT. I (tgl) forgot that in commit 07b4c48b6 and wrote an assertion in rule deparsing that a leaf's setOperations would always be empty. If it were nonempty then we would want to parenthesize the subquery to ensure that the output represents the setop nesting correctly (e.g. UNION below INTERSECT had better get parenthesized). So rather than just removing the faulty Assert, let's change it into an additional case to check to decide whether to add parens. We don't expect that the additional case will ever fire, but it's cheap insurance. Man Zeng and Tom Lane Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/tencent_7ABF9B1F23B0C77606FC5FE3@qq.com	1 year ago

In the dim past we figured it was okay to ignore collations when combining UNION set-operation nodes into a single N-way UNION operation. I believe that was fine at the time, but it stopped being fine when we added nondeterministic collations: the semantics of distinct-ness are affected by those. v17 made it even less fine by allowing per-child sorting operations to be merged via MergeAppend, although I think we accidentally avoided any live bug from that. Add a check that collations match before deciding that two UNION nodes are equivalent. I also failed to resist the temptation to comment plan_union_children() a little better.

Tom Lane	ee33d58471	Undo unintentional ABI break in struct ResultRelInfo. ... Commits aac2c9b4f et al. added a bool field to struct ResultRelInfo. That's no problem in the master branch, but in released branches care must be taken when modifying publicly-visible structs to avoid an ABI break for extensions. Frequently we solve that by adding the new field at the end of the struct, and that's what was done here. But ResultRelInfo has stricter constraints than just about any other node type in Postgres. Some executor APIs require extensions to index into arrays of ResultRelInfo, which means that any change whatever in sizeof(ResultRelInfo) causes a fatal ABI break. Fortunately, this is easy to fix, because the new field can be squeezed into available padding space instead --- indeed, that's where it was put in master, so this fix also removes a cross-branch coding variation. Per report from Pavan Deolasee. Patch v14-v17 only; earlier versions did not gain the extra field, nor is there any problem in master.

Masahiko Sawada	f353911337	Fix a possibility of logical replication slot's restart_lsn going backwards. ... Previously LogicalIncreaseRestartDecodingForSlot() accidentally accepted any LSN as the candidate_lsn and candidate_valid after the restart_lsn of the replication slot was updated, so it potentially caused the restart_lsn to move backwards. A scenario where this could happen in logical replication is: after a logical replication restart, based on previous candidate_lsn and candidate_valid values in memory, the restart_lsn advances upon receiving a subscriber acknowledgment. Then, logical decoding restarts from an older point, setting candidate_lsn and candidate_valid based on an old RUNNING_XACTS record. Subsequent subscriber acknowledgments then update the restart_lsn to an LSN older than the current value. In the reported case, after WAL files were removed by a checkpoint, the retreated restart_lsn prevented logical replication from restarting due to missing WAL segments. This change essentially modifies the 'if' condition to 'else if' condition within the function. The previous code had an asymmetry in this regard compared to LogicalIncreaseXminForSlot(), which does almost the same thing for different fields. The WAL removal issue was reported by Hubert Depesz Lubaczewski. Backpatch to all supported versions, since the bug exists since 9.4 where logical decoding was introduced.

Tom Lane	b6312becc8	Avoid assertion due to disconnected NFA sub-graphs in regex parsing. ... In commit 08c0d6ad6 which introduced "rainbow" arcs in regex NFAs, I didn't think terribly hard about what to do when creating the color complement of a rainbow arc. Clearly, the complement cannot match any characters, and I took the easy way out by just not building any arcs at all in the complement arc set. That mostly works, but Nikolay Shaplov found a case where it doesn't: if we decide to delete that sub-NFA later because it's inside a "{0}" quantifier, delsub() suffered an assertion failure. That's because delsub() relies on the target sub-NFA being fully connected. That was always true before, and the best fix seems to be to restore that property. Hence, invent a new arc type CANTMATCH that can be generated in place of an empty color complement, and drop it again later when we start NFA optimization. (At that point we don't need to do delsub() any more, and besides there are other cases where NFA optimization can lead to disconnected subgraphs.) It appears that this bug has no consequences in a non-assert-enabled build: there will be some transiently leaked NFA states/arcs, but they'll get cleaned up eventually. Still, we don't like assertion failures, so back-patch to v14 where rainbow arcs were introduced. Per bug #18708 from Nikolay Shaplov.

Álvaro Herrera	ea1649c352	Avoid deleting critical WAL segments during pg_rewind ... Previously, in unlucky cases, it was possible for pg_rewind to remove certain WAL segments from the rewound demoted primary. In particular this happens if those files have been marked for archival (i.e., their .ready files were created) but not yet archived; the newly promoted node no longer has such files because of them having been recycled, but they are likely critical for recovery in the demoted node. If pg_rewind removes them, recovery is not possible anymore. Fix this by maintaining a hash table of files in this situation in the scan that looks for a checkpoint, which the decide_file_actions phase can consult so that it knows to preserve them. Backpatch to 14. The problem also exists in 13, but that branch was not blessed with commit eb00f1d4bf, so this patch is difficult to apply there. Users of older releases will just have to continue to be extra careful when rewinding.

Michael Paquier	afa20845dd	Fix race conditions with drop of reused pgstats entries ... This fixes a set of race conditions with cumulative statistics where a shared stats entry could be dropped while it should still be valid in the event when it is reused: an entry may refer to a different object but requires the same hash key. This can happen with various stats kinds, like: - Replication slots that compute internally an index number, for different slot names. - Stats kinds that use an OID in the object key, where a wraparound causes the same key to be used if an OID is used for the same object. - As of PostgreSQL 18, custom pgstats kinds could also be an issue, depending on their implementation. This issue is fixed by introducing a counter called "generation" in the shared entries via PgStatShared_HashEntry, initialized at 0 when an entry is created and incremented when the same entry is reused, to avoid concurrent issues on drop because of other backends still holding a reference to it. This "generation" is copied to the local copy that a backend holds when looking at an object, then cross-checked with the shared entry to make sure that the entry is not dropped even if its "refcount" justifies that if it has been reused. This problem could show up when a backend shuts down and needs to discard any entries it still holds, causing statistics to be removed when they should not, or even an assertion failure. Another report involved a failure in a standby after an OID wraparound, where the startup process would FATAL on a "can only drop stats once", stopping recovery abruptly. The buildfarm has been sporadically complaining about the problem, as well, but the window is hard to reach with the in-core tests. Note that the issue can be reproduced easily by adding a sleep before dshash_find() in pgstat_release_entry_ref() to enlarge the problematic window while repeating test_decoding's isolation test oldest_xmin a couple of times, for example, as pointed out by Alexander Lakhin.
