Though @libdir@ almost always matches @abs_builddir@ in this context,
the test could only fail if they differed. Back-patch to 9.1, where the
test was introduced.

In libpq, we set up and pass to OpenSSL callback routines to handle
locking. When we run out of SSL connections, we try to clean things
up by de-registering the hooks. Unfortunately, we had a few calls
into the OpenSSL library after these hooks were de-registered during
SSL cleanup which lead to deadlocking. This moves the thread callback
cleanup to be after all SSL-cleanup related OpenSSL library calls.
I've been unable to reproduce the deadlock with this fix.
In passing, also move the close_SSL call to be after unlocking our
ssl_config mutex when in a failure state. While it looks pretty
unlikely to be an issue, it could have resulted in deadlocks if we
ended up in this code path due to something other than SSL_new
failing. Thanks to Heikki for pointing this out.
Back-patch to all supported versions; note that the close_SSL issue
only goes back to 9.0, so that hunk isn't included in the 8.4 patch.
Initially found and reported by Vesa-Matti J Kari; many thanks to
both Heikki and Andres for their help running down the specific
issue and reviewing the patch.
When a timeline history file is fetched from server, it is initially created
with a temporary file name, and renamed to place. However, the temporary
file name was constructed using an uninitialized buffer. Usually that meant
that the file was created in current directory instead of the target, which
usually goes unnoticed, but if the target is on a different filesystem than
the current dir, the rename() would fail. Fix that.
The second issue is that pg_receivexlog would not take .partial files into
account when determining when scanning the target directory for existing
WAL files. If the timeline has switched in the server several times in the
last WAL segment, and pg_receivexlog is restarted, it would choose a too
old starting point. That's not a problem as long as the old WAL segment
exists in the server and can be streamed over, but will cause a failure if
it's not.
Backpatch to 9.3, where this timeline handling code was written.
Analysed by Andrew Gierth, bug #8453, based on a bug report on IRC.
It seems to make more sense to use "cutoff multixact" terminology
throughout the backend code; "freeze" is associated with replacing of an
Xid with FrozenTransactionId, which is not what we do for MultiXactIds.

Some adjustments by Álvaro Herrera
Once the administrator has called for an immediate shutdown or a backend
crash has triggered a reinitialization, no mere SIGINT or SIGTERM should
change that course. Such derailment remains possible when the signal
arrives before quickdie() blocks signals. That being a narrow race
affecting most PostgreSQL signal handlers in some way, leave it for
another patch. Back-patch this to all supported versions.
The previous coding attempted to activate all the GUC settings specified
in SET clauses, so that the function validator could operate in the GUC
environment expected by the function body. However, this is problematic
when restoring a dump, since the SET clauses might refer to database
objects that don't exist yet. We already have the parameter
check_function_bodies that's meant to prevent forward references in
function definitions from breaking dumps, so let's change CREATE FUNCTION
to not install the SET values if check_function_bodies is off.
Authors of function validators were already advised not to make any
"context sensitive" checks when check_function_bodies is off, if indeed
they're checking anything at all in that mode. But extend the
documentation to point out the GUC issue in particular.
(Note that we still check the SET clauses to some extent; the behavior
with !check_function_bodies is now approximately equivalent to what ALTER
DATABASE/ROLE have been doing for awhile with context-dependent GUCs.)
This problem can be demonstrated in all active branches, so back-patch
all the way.
It seems like a good idea to update these examples since some fairly
basic planner behaviors have changed in 9.3; notably that the startup cost
for an indexscan plan node is no longer invariably estimated at 0.00.
Failing to do so can cause queries to return wrong data, error out or crash.
This requires adding a new binaryheap_reset() method to binaryheap.c,
but that probably should have been there anyway.
Per bug #8410 from Terje Elde. Diagnosis and patch by Andres Freund.
This change will only apply to mingw compilers, and has been found
necessary by late versions of the mingw-w64 compiler. It's the same as
what is done elsewhere for the Microsoft compilers.
Backpatch of commit 73838b5251e.
Problem reported by Michael Cronenworth, although not his patch.
The previous coding in plancache.c essentially used 10% of the estimated
runtime as its cost estimate for planning. This can be pretty bogus,
especially when the estimated runtime is very small, such as in a simple
expression plan created by plpgsql, or a simple INSERT ... VALUES.
While we don't have a really good handle on how planning time compares
to runtime, it seems reasonable to use an estimate based on the number of
relations referenced in the query, with a rather large multiplier. This
patch uses 1000 * cpu_operator_cost * (nrelations + 1), so that even a
trivial query will be charged 1000 * cpu_operator_cost for planning.
This should address the problem reported by Marc Cousin and others that
9.2 and up prefer custom plans in cases where the planning time greatly
exceeds what can be saved.
The backup will not work (without a logarchive, and that's the whole
point of -x) in this case, this patch just changes it to throw an
error instead of crashing when this happens.

It's possible that inlining of SQL functions (or perhaps other changes?)
has exposed typmod information not known at parse time. In such cases,
Vars generated by query_planner might have valid typmod values while the
original grouping columns only have typmod -1. This isn't a semantic
problem since the behavior of grouping only depends on type not typmod,
but it breaks locate_grouping_columns' use of tlist_member to locate the
matching entry in query_planner's result tlist.
We can fix this without an excessive amount of new code or complexity by
relying on the fact that locate_grouping_columns only gets called when
make_subplanTargetList has set need_tlist_eval == false, and that can only
happen if all the grouping columns are simple Vars. Therefore we only need
to search the sub_tlist for a matching Var, and we can reasonably define a
"match" as being a match of the Var identity fields
varno/varattno/varlevelsup. The code still Asserts that vartype matches,
but ignores vartypmod.
Per bug #8393 from Evan Martin. The added regression test case is
basically the same as his example. This has been broken for a very long
time, so back-patch to all supported branches.
We should account for the per-group hashtable entry overhead when
considering whether to use a hash aggregate to implement DISTINCT. The
comparable logic in choose_hashed_grouping() gets this right, but I think
I omitted it here in the mistaken belief that there would be no overhead
if there were no aggregate functions to be evaluated. This can result in
more than 2X underestimate of the hash table size, if the tuples being
aggregated aren't very wide. Per report from Tomas Vondra.
This bug is of long standing, but per discussion we'll only back-patch into
9.3. Changing the estimation behavior in stable branches seems to carry too
much risk of destabilizing plan choices for already-tuned applications.
Instead of deleting all files in stats_temp_directory and the permanent
directory on a crash, only remove those files that match the pattern of
files we actually write in them, to avoid possibly clobbering existing
unrelated contents of the temporary directory. Per complaint from Jeff
Janes, and subsequent discussion, starting at message
CAMkU=1z9+7RsDODnT4=cDFBRBp8wYQbd_qsLcMtKEf-oFwuOdQ@mail.gmail.com
Also, fix a bug in the same routine to avoid removing files from the
permanent directory twice (instead of once from that directory and then
from the temporary directory), also per report from Jeff Janes, in
message
CAMkU=1wbk947=-pAosDMX5VC+sQw9W4ttq6RM9rXu=MjNeEQKA@mail.gmail.com
This keeps the usual trigger file name unchanged from 9.2, avoiding nasty
issues if you use a pre-9.3 pg_ctl binary with a 9.3 server or vice versa.
The fallback behavior of creating a full checkpoint before starting up is now
triggered by a file called "fallback_promote". That can be useful for
debugging purposes, but we don't expect any users to have to resort to that
and we might want to remove that in the future, which is why the fallback
mechanism is undocumented.
In an example such as
SELECT * FROM
i LEFT JOIN LATERAL (SELECT * FROM j WHERE i.n = j.n) j ON true;
it is safe to pull up the LATERAL subquery into its parent, but we must
then treat the "i.n = j.n" clause as a qual clause of the LEFT JOIN. The
previous coding in deconstruct_recurse mistakenly labeled the clause as
"is_pushed_down", resulting in wrong semantics if the clause were applied
at the join node, as per an example submitted awhile ago by Jeremy Evans.
To fix, postpone processing of such clauses until we return back up to
the appropriate recursion depth in deconstruct_recurse.
In addition, tighten the is-safe-to-pull-up checks in is_simple_subquery;
we previously missed the possibility that the LATERAL subquery might itself
contain an outer join that makes lateral references in lower quals unsafe.
A regression test case equivalent to Jeremy's example was already in my
commit of yesterday, but was giving the wrong results because of this
bug. This patch fixes the expected output for that, and also adds a
test case for the second problem.
When upgrading from servers of versions 9.2 and older, and MultiXactIds
have been used in the old server beyond the first page (that is, 2048
multis or more in the default 8kB-page build), pg_upgrade would set the
next multixact offset to use beyond what has been allocated in the new
cluster. This would cause a failure the first time the new cluster
needs to use this value, because the pg_multixact/offsets/ file wouldn't
exist or wouldn't be large enough. To fix, ensure that the transient
server instances launched by pg_upgrade extend the file as necessary.
Per report from Jesse Denardo in
CANiVXAj4c88YqipsyFQPboqMudnjcNTdB3pqe8ReXqAFQ=HXyA@mail.gmail.com
This was added as part of the attempt to support unlogged matviews
along with a populated status. It got missed when unlogged
support was removed pre-commit.
Noticed by Noah Misch. Back-patched to 9.3 branch.
The planner largely failed to consider the possibility that a
PlaceHolderVar's expression might contain a lateral reference to a Var
coming from somewhere outside the PHV's syntactic scope. We had a previous
report of a problem in this area, which I tried to fix in a quick-hack way
in commit 4da6439bd8553059766011e2a42c6e39df08717f, but Antonin Houska
pointed out that there were still some problems, and investigation turned
up other issues. This patch largely reverts that commit in favor of a more
thoroughly thought-through solution. The new theory is that a PHV's
ph_eval_at level cannot be higher than its original syntactic level. If it
contains lateral references, those don't change the ph_eval_at level, but
rather they create a lateral-reference requirement for the ph_eval_at join
relation. The code in joinpath.c needs to handle that.
Another issue is that createplan.c wasn't handling nested PlaceHolderVars
properly.
In passing, push knowledge of lateral-reference checks for join clauses
into join_clause_is_movable_to. This is mainly so that FDWs don't need
to deal with it.
This patch doesn't fix the original join-qual-placement problem reported by
Jeremy Evans (and indeed, one of the new regression test cases shows the
wrong answer because of that). But the PlaceHolderVar problems need to be
fixed before that issue can be addressed, so committing this separately
seems reasonable.
Commit 2dee7998f93062e2ae7fcc9048ff170e528d1724 renames these
functions in master, for consistency; per discussion, backport
just the renaming portion of that commit to 9.3 to keep the
branches in sync.
