These functions have been looking up type info for every row they
process. Instead of doing that we only look them up the first time
through and stash the information in the aggregate state object.
Affects json_agg, json_object_agg, jsonb_agg and jsonb_object_agg.
There is plenty more work to do in making these more efficient,
especially the jsonb functions, but this is a virtually cost free
improvement that can be done right away.
Backpatch to 9.5 where the jsonb variants were introduced.
After an internal failure in shortest() or longest() while pinning down the
exact location of a match, find() forgot to free the DFA structure before
returning. This is pretty unlikely to occur, since we just successfully
ran the "search" variant of the DFA; but it could happen, and it would
result in a session-lifespan memory leak since this code uses malloc()
directly. Problem seems to have been aboriginal in Spencer's library,
so back-patch all the way.
In passing, correct a thinko in a comment I added awhile back about the
meaning of the "ntree" field.
I happened across these issues while comparing our code to Tcl's version
of the library.
This setting contains extra configuration for the temp instance, as used
in pg_regress' --temp-config flag.
Backpatch to 9.2 where test.sh was introduced.
For the UPDATE/DELETE RETURNING case, filter the records which are not
visible to the user through ALL or SELECT policies from those considered
for the UPDATE or DELETE. This is similar to how the GRANT system
works, which prevents RETURNING unless the caller has SELECT rights on
the relation.
Per discussion with Robert, Dean, Tom, and Kevin.
Back-patch to 9.5 where RLS was introduced.
This refactors rewrite/rowsecurity.c to simplify the handling of the
default deny case (reducing the number of places where we check for and
add the default deny policy from three to one) by splitting up the
retrival of the policies from the application of them.
This also allowed us to do away with the policy_id field. A policy_name
field was added for WithCheckOption policies and is used in error
reporting, when available.
Patch by Dean Rasheed, with various mostly cosmetic changes by me.
Back-patch to 9.5 where RLS was introduced to avoid unnecessary
differences, since we're still in alpha, per discussion with Robert.
Commit 5ddc72887a012f6a8b85707ef27d85c274faf53d does not actually work
because it will happily blow away ri_constraint_cache entries that are
in active use in outer call levels. In any case, it's a very ugly,
brute-force solution to the problem of limiting the cache size.
Revert until it can be redesigned.
This patch changes the log message which is logged when the server
successfully renames backup_label file to *.old but fails to rename
tablespace_map file during the shutdown. Previously the WARNING
message "online backup mode was not canceled" was logged in that case.
However this message is confusing because the backup mode is treated
as canceled whenever backup_label is successfully renamed. So this
commit makes the server log the message "online backup mode canceled"
in that case.
Also this commit changes errdetail messages so that they follow the
error message style guide.
Back-patch to 9.5 where tablespace_map file is introduced.
Original patch by Amit Kapila, heavily modified by me.
To prevent perverse results, we now only return the other operand if
it's not scalar, and if both operands are of the same kind (array or
object).
Original bug complaint and patch from Oskari Saarenmaa, extended by me
to cover the cases of different kinds of jsonb.
Backpatch to 9.5 where jsonb_concat was introduced.
Modify pg_dump to restore postgres/template1 databases to non-default
tablespaces by switching out of the database to be moved, then switching
back.
Also, to fix potentially cases where the old/new tablespaces might not
match, fix pg_upgrade to process new/old tablespaces separately in all
cases.

I think this particular branch is actually dead, but the analysis to
prove that is not trivial, so instead take the weasel way.

Backpatch to 9.5, where BRIN was introduced.
Commit 45ba424f improved foreign key lookups during bulk updates
when the FK value does not change. When restoring a schema dump
from a database with many (say 100,000) foreign keys, this cache
would grow very big and every ALTER TABLE command was causing an
InvalidateConstraintCacheCallBack(), which uses a sequential hash
table scan. This could cause a severe performance regression in
restoring a schema dump (including during pg_upgrade).
The patch uses a heuristic method of detecting when the hash table
should be destroyed and recreated.
InvalidateConstraintCacheCallBack() adds the current size of the
hash table to a counter. When that sum reaches 1,000,000, the hash
table is flushed. This fixes the regression without noticeable
harm to the bulk update use case.

Backpatch to 9.3 where the performance regression was introduced.
The "typo" alleged in commit 1e460d4bd was actually a comment that was
correct when written, but I missed updating it in commit b5282aa89.
Use a slightly less specific (and hopefully more future-proof) description
of what is collected. Back-patch to 9.2 where that commit appeared, and
revert the comment to its then-entirely-correct state before that.
The list-wrangling here was done wrong, allowing the same state to get
put into the list twice. The following loop then would clone it twice.
The second clone would wind up with no inarcs, so that there was no
observable misbehavior AFAICT, but a useless state in the finished NFA
isn't an especially good thing.
This commit makes postmaster forcibly remove the files signaling
a standby promotion request. Otherwise, the existence of those files
can trigger a promotion too early, whether a user wants that or not.
This removal of files is usually unnecessary because they can exist
only during a few moments during a standby promotion. However
there is a race condition: if pg_ctl promote is executed and creates
the files during a promotion, the files can stay around even after
the server is brought up to new master. Then, if new standby starts
by using the backup taken from that master, the files can exist
at the server startup and should be removed in order to avoid
an unexpected promotion.
Back-patch to 9.1 where promote signal file was introduced.
Problem reported by Feike Steenbergen.

Even views considered "simple" enough to be automatically updatable may
have mulitple relations involved (eg: in a where clause). We need to
make sure and lock those relations when rewriting the query.
Back-patch to 9.3 where updatable views were added.
Pointed out by Andres, patch thanks to Dean Rasheed.
This was forgotten in 8a3631f (commit that originally added the parameter)

Back-patch to all supported versions.
If a transaction never reaches the standby, later tests find unexpected
cluster state. A "tail-copy: query result matches" test failure has
been the usual symptom. Among the buildfarm members having run this
test suite, most have exhibited that symptom at least once. Back-patch
to 9.5, where pg_rewind was introduced.

Cleanup process could be called by ordinary insert/update and could take a lot
of time. Add vacuum_delay_point() to make this process interruptable. Under
vacuum this call will also throttle a vacuum process to decrease system load,
called from insert/update it will not throttle, and that reduces a latency.
Backpatch for all supported branches.

This has been broken since 9.3 (commit 82b1b213cad3a69c to be exact),
which suggests that nobody is any longer using a Windows build system that
doesn't provide a symlink emulation. Still, it's wrong on its own terms,
so repair.

If the number of heap blocks is not multiples of pages per range, the

Discussion at "[HACKERS] BRIN INDEX value (message id :20150903.174935.1946402199422994347.t-ishii@sraoss.co.jp)
Backpatched to 9.5 in which brin index was added.
Formerly, we treated only portals created in the current subtransaction as
having failed during subtransaction abort. However, if the error occurred
while running a portal created in an outer subtransaction (ie, a cursor
declared before the last savepoint), that has to be considered broken too.
To allow reliable detection of which ones those are, add a bookkeeping
field to struct Portal that tracks the innermost subtransaction in which
each portal has actually been executed. (Without this, we'd end up
failing portals containing functions that had called the subtransaction,
thereby breaking plpgsql exception blocks completely.)
In addition, when we fail an outer-subtransaction Portal, transfer its
resources into the subtransaction's resource owner, so that they're
released early in cleanup of the subxact. This fixes a problem reported by
Jim Nasby in which a function executed in an outer-subtransaction cursor
could cause an Assert failure or crash by referencing a relation created
within the inner subtransaction.
The proximate cause of the Assert failure is that AtEOSubXact_RelationCache
assumed it could blow away a relcache entry without first checking that the
entry had zero refcount. That was a bad idea on its own terms, so add such
a check there, and to the similar coding in AtEOXact_RelationCache. This
provides an independent safety measure in case there are still ways to
provoke the situation despite the Portal-level changes.
This has been broken since subtransactions were invented, so back-patch
to all supported branches.

The setting values of some parameters including max_worker_processes
must be equal to or higher than the values on the master. However,
previously max_worker_processes was not listed as such parameter
in the document. So this commit adds it to that list.
Back-patch to 9.4 where max_worker_processes was added.
Most suites already did so via start_test_server(), but the pg_rewind,
pg_ctl and pg_controldata suites ran a postmaster or initdb with fsync
enabled. This halves the pg_rewind suite's runtime on buildfarm member
tern. It makes tern and that machine's other buildfarm members less
vulnerable to noise failures from postmaster startup overrunning the 60s
pg_ctl timeout. Back-patch to 9.5, where pg_rewind was introduced.
Previously, if one background worker registered another background
worker and set bgw_notify_pid while for the second background worker,
it would not receive notifications from the postmaster unless, at the
time the "parent" was registered, BGWORKER_BACKEND_DATABASE_CONNECTION
was set.
To fix, instead instead of including only those background workers that
requested database connections in the postmater's BackendList, include
them all. There doesn't seem to be any reason not do this, and indeed
it removes a significant amount of duplicated code. The other option
is to make PostmasterMarkPIDForWorkerNotify look at BackgroundWorkerList
in addition to BackendList, but that adds more code duplication instead
of getting rid of it.
Patch by me. Review and testing by Ashutosh Bapat.
On recent AIX it's necessary to configure gcc to use the native assembler
(because the GNU assembler hasn't been updated to handle AIX 6+). This
caused PG builds to fail with assembler syntax errors, because we'd try
to compile s_lock.h's gcc asm fragment for PPC, and that assembly code
relied on GNU-style local labels. We can't substitute normal labels
because it would fail in any file containing more than one inlined use of
tas(). Fortunately, that code is stable enough, and the PPC ISA is simple
enough, that it doesn't seem like too much of a maintenance burden to just
hand-code the branch offsets, removing the need for any labels.
Note that the AIX assembler only accepts "$" for the location counter
pseudo-symbol. The usual GNU convention is "."; but it appears that all
versions of gas for PPC also accept "$", so in theory this patch will not
break any other PPC platforms.
This has been reported by a few people, but Steve Underwood gets the credit
for being the first to pursue the problem far enough to understand why it
was failing. Thanks also to Noah Misch for additional testing.
During fireRIRrules(), get_row_security_policies can add to
securityQuals and withCheckOptions. Make sure to lock any relations
added at that point and before firing RIR rules on those expressions.
Back-patch to 9.5 where RLS was added.
Until 9.4, pg_controldata output was all aligned. At some point
during 9.5 development, a new item was added, namely
"Current track_commit_timestamp setting:" which is two characters
too long to be aligned with the rest of the output. Fix this by
removing the noise word "Current" and adding the requisite number
of padding spaces. Since the six preceding items are also similar
in nature, remove "Current" and pad those as well in order to
maintain overall consistency. Backpatch to 9.5 where new offending
item was added.
The results of the KNN-search test cases were indeterminate, as they asked
the system to sort pairs of points that are exactly equidistant from the
query reference point. It's a bit surprising that we've seen no
platform-specific failures from this in the buildfarm. Perhaps IEEE-float
math is well enough standardized that no such failures will ever occur on
supported platforms ... but since this entire regression test has yet to be
shipped in any non-alpha release, that seems like an unduly optimistic
assumption. Tweak the queries so that the correct output is uniquely
defined.
(The other queries in this test are also underdetermined; but it looks like
they are regurgitating index rows in insertion order, so for the moment
assume that that behavior is stable enough.)
Per Greg Stark's experiments with VAX. Back-patch to 9.5 where this test
script was introduced.
Since the distances used in this algorithm are small integers (not more
than the size of the U set, in fact), there is no good reason to use float
arithmetic for them. Use short ints instead: they're smaller, faster, and
require no special portability assumptions.
Per testing by Greg Stark, which disclosed that the code got into an
infinite loop on VAX for lack of IEEE-style float infinities. We don't
really care all that much whether Postgres can run on a VAX anymore,
but there seems sufficient reason to change this code anyway.
In passing, make a few other small adjustments to make the code match
usual Postgres coding style a bit better.
For no obvious reason, spi_printtup() was coded to enlarge the tuple
pointer table by just 256 slots at a time, rather than doubling the size at
each reallocation, as is our usual habit. For very large SPI results, this
makes for O(N^2) time spent in repalloc(), which of course soon comes to
dominate the runtime. Use the standard doubling approach instead.
This is a longstanding performance bug, so back-patch to all active
branches.

Having the roles remain after the test ends up causing repeated 'make
installcheck' runs to fail and may be risky from a security perspective
also, so remove them at the end of the test.
The code had bugs that would cause crashes if NULL was passed as that
argument (originally intended to mean not to bother returning its
value), and after inspection it turns out that nothing seems interested
in the case that *ts is NULL anyway. Therefore, remove the partial
checks intended to support that case.

Backpatch to 9.5.
PLyString_ToComposite() blithely overwrote proc->result.out.d, even though
for a composite result type the other union variant proc->result.out.r is
the one that should be valid. This could result in a crash if out.r had
in fact been filled in (proc->result.is_rowtype == 1) and then somebody
later attempted to use that data; as per bug #13579 from Paweł Michalak.
Just to add insult to injury, it didn't work for RECORD results anyway,
because record_in() would refuse the case.
Fix by doing the I/O function lookup in a local PLyTypeInfo variable,
as we were doing already in PLyObject_ToComposite(). This is not a great
technique because any fn_extra data allocated by the input function will
be leaked permanently (thanks to using TopMemoryContext as fn_mcxt).
But that's a pre-existing issue that is much less serious than a crash,
so leave it to be fixed separately.
This bug would be a potential security issue, except that plpython is
only available to superusers and the crash requires coding the function
in a way that didn't work before today's patches.
Add regression test cases covering all the supported methods of converting
composite results.
Back-patch to 9.1 where the faulty coding was introduced.
If we have the typmod that identifies a registered record type, there's no
reason that record_in() should refuse to perform input conversion for it.
Now, in direct SQL usage, record_in() will always be passed typmod = -1
with type OID RECORDOID, because no typmodin exists for type RECORD, so the
case can't arise. However, some InputFunctionCall users such as PLs may be
able to supply the right typmod, so we should allow this to support them.
Note: the previous coding and comment here predate commit 59c016aa9f490b53.
There has been no case since 8.1 in which the passed type OID wouldn't be
valid; and if it weren't, this error message wouldn't be apropos anyway.
Better to let lookup_rowtype_tupdesc complain about it.
Back-patch to 9.1, as this is necessary for my upcoming plpython fix.
I'm committing it separately just to make it a bit more visible in the

To avoid confusion, rename CreatePolicyStmt's 'cmd' to 'cmd_name',
parse_policy_command's 'cmd' to 'polcmd', and AlterPolicy's 'cmd_datum'
to 'polcmd_datum', per discussion with Noah and as a follow-up to his
correction of copynodes/equalnodes handling of the CreatePolicyStmt
'cmd' field.
Back-patch to 9.5 where the CreatePolicyStmt was introduced, as we
are still only in alpha.
When reworking bypassrls in AlterRole to operate the same way the other
attribute handling is done, I missed that the variable was incorrectly a
bool rather than an int. This meant that on platforms with an unsigned
char, we could end up with incorrect behavior during ALTER ROLE.
Pointed out by Andres thanks to tests he did changing our bool to be the
one from stdbool.h which showed this and a number of other issues.
Add regression tests to test CREATE/ALTER role for the various role
attributes. Arrange to leave roles behind for testing pg_dumpall, but
none which have the LOGIN attribute.
Back-patch to 9.5 where the AlterRole bug exists.
Commit 8cce08f168481c5fc5be4e7e29b968e314f1b41e used a left-shift
on a literal of 1 that could (in large allocations) be shifted by
31 or more bits. This was assigned to a local variable that was
already declared to be a long to protect against overruns of int,
but the literal in this shift needs to be declared long to allow it
to work correctly in some compilers.
Backpatch to 9.5, where the bug was introduced.
