The original coding in contrib/uuid-ossp created and destroyed a uuid_t
object (or, in some cases, even two of them) each time it was called.
This is not the intended usage: you're supposed to keep the uuid_t object
around so that the library can cache its state across uses. (Other UUID
libraries seem to keep equivalent state behind-the-scenes in static
variables, but OSSP chose differently.) Aside from being quite inefficient,
creating a new uuid_t loses knowledge of the previously generated UUID,
which in theory could result in duplicate V1-style UUIDs being created
on sufficiently fast machines.
On at least some platforms, creating a new uuid_t also draws some entropy
from /dev/urandom, leaving less for the rest of the system. This seems
sufficiently unpleasant to justify back-patching this change.
The previous version of these tests expected uuid_generate_v1() to always
emit MAC addresses with the local-admin and multicast address bits zero.
However, several of the buildfarm critters are reporting values with the
local-admin bit set. (Perhaps they're running inside VMs or jails.)
And a couple are reporting values with the multicast bit set, probably
meaning that the UUID library couldn't read the system MAC address.
Also, it emerges that if OSSP UUID can't read the system MAC address, it
falls back to V1MC behavior wherein the whole node field gets randomized
each time, breaking the test that expected the node field to remain stable
in V1 output. (It looks like e2fs doesn't behave that way, though.)
It's not entirely clear why we can't get a system MAC address, since the
buildfarm scripts would not work without internet access. Nonetheless,
the regression tests had better cope with the case, so adjust the tests
to expect these behaviors.
This reverts commit 45b7abe59e.
It turns out that the %name-prefix syntax without "=" does not work
at all in pre-2.4 Bison. We are not prepared to make such a large
jump in minimum required Bison version just to suppress a warning
message in a version hardly any developers are using yet.
When 3.0 gets more popular, we'll figure out a way to deal with this.
In the meantime, BISONFLAGS=-Wno-deprecated is recommendable for
anyone using 3.0 who doesn't want to see the warning.
Sometimes CREATE_REPLICATION_SLOT ... LOGICAL ... needs to wait for
further WAL using WalSndWaitForWal(). That used to always respect
wal_sender_timeout and kill the session when waiting long enough
because no feedback/ping messages can be sent while the slot is still
being created.
Introduce the notion that last_reply_timestamp = 0 means that the
walsender currently doesn't need timeout processing to avoid that
problem. Use that notion for CREATE_REPLICATION_SLOT ... LOGICAL.
Bugreport and initial patch by Steve Singer, revised by me.
The only caller of compareJsonbScalarValue that needed locale-sensitive
comparison of strings was also the only caller that didn't just check for
equality. Separate the two cases for clarity: compareJsonbScalarValue now
does locale-sensitive comparison, and a new function,
equalsJsonbScalarValue, just checks for equality.
Fix an over-zealous assertion, which didn't take into account that sometimes
a scalar element can be compared against an array/object element.
Avoid comparing possibly-uninitialized local variables when end-of-array or
end-of-object is reached. Also fix and enhance comments a bit.
Peter Geoghegan, per reports by Pavel Stehule and me.
%name-prefix doesn't use an "=" sign according to the Bison docs, but it
silently accepted one anyway, until Bison 3.0. This was originally a
typo of mine in commit 012abebab1, and we
seem to have slavishly copied the error into all the other grammar files.
Per report from Vik Fearing; analysis by Peter Eisentraut.
Back-patch to all active branches, since somebody might try to build
a back branch with up-to-date tools.
On reflection, the timestamp-advances test might fail if we're unlucky
enough for the time_mid field to change between two calls, since uuid_cmp
is just bytewise comparison and the field ordering has more significant
fields later. Build some field extraction functions so we can do a more
honest test of that. Also check that the version and reserved fields
contain what they should.
The V5 (SHA1 hashing) code wrote 20 bytes into a 16-byte local variable.
This had accidentally failed to fail in my testing and Matteo's, but
buildfarm results exposed the problem.
Move the code that sends the initial status information as well as the
calculation of paths inside the ENSURE_ERROR_CLEANUP block. If this code
failed, we would "leak" a counter of number of concurrent backups, thereby
making the system always believe it was in backup mode. This could happen
if the sending failed (which it probably never did given that the small
amount of data to send would never cause a flush) or if the psprintf calls
ran out of memory. Both are very low risk, but all operations after
do_pg_start_backup should be protected.
In general it's not a good idea for built-in types in the 'U' category
to be marked preferred; they could draw behavior away from user-defined
types with similarly-named operators. pg_lsn is probably at low risk
of that right now given the lack of casts between it and other types,
but that doesn't make this marking OK.
Ordinarily we'd bump catversion when changing any predefined catalog
contents like this, but since we're past beta1, the costs of a forced
initdb seem to outweigh the benefits of guaranteed behavioral consistency.
There's not any known behavioral impact today anyway --- this is more
in the nature of being sure there's not problems in future.
Per an off-list complaint from Thomas Fanghaenel.
The recent addition of regression tests to uuid-ossp exposed the fact
that the MSVC build system wasn't being consistent about whether it was
building/testing that contrib module, ie, it would try to test the module
even when it hadn't built it. The same hazard was latent for sslinfo.
For the moment I just copied the more up-to-date logic from point A to
point B, but this is screaming for refactoring.
Per buildfarm results.
Commit 5035701e07 improved xlog.c's method
for creating a database system identifier, but I neglected to fix the
copy of that code appearing in pg_resetxlog.c. Spotted by Andres Freund.
Allow the contrib/uuid-ossp extension to be built atop any one of these
three popular UUID libraries. (The extension's name is now arguably a
misnomer, but we'll keep it the same so as not to cause unnecessary
compatibility issues for users.)
We would not normally consider a change like this post-beta1, but the issue
has been forced by our upgrade to autoconf 2.69, whose more rigorous header
checks are causing OSSP's header files to be rejected on some platforms.
It's been foreseen for some time that we'd have to move away from depending
on OSSP UUID due to lack of upstream maintenance, so this is a down payment
on that problem.
While at it, add some simple regression tests, in hopes of catching any
major incompatibilities between the three implementations.
Matteo Beccati, with some further hacking by me
Commit 090d0f2050 added new code showing
how it can be useful to set bgw_notify_pid to a non-zero value, but it
failed to make sure that the existing call to RegisterBackgroundWorker
initialized the new field at all.
Report and patch by Shigeru Hanada.
On Mingw, it seems that scanf() doesn't necessarily accept the same format
codes that printf() does, and in particular it may fail to recognize %llu
even though printf() does. Since configure only probes printf() behavior
while setting up the INT64_FORMAT macros, this means it's unsafe to use
those macros with scanf(). We had only one instance of such a coding
pattern, in contrib/pg_stat_statements, so change that code to avoid
the problem.
Per buildfarm warnings. Back-patch to 9.0 where the troublesome code
was introduced.
Michael Paquier
The bug was caused by omitting 'I:' from the short argument list to
getopt_long(). To make similar bugs in the future less likely reorder
options in --help, long and short option lists to be in the same,
alphabetical within groups, order.
Report and fix by Michael Paquier, some additional reordering by me.
The new page deletion code didn't cope with the case the target page's
right sibling was marked half-dead. It failed a sanity check which checked
that the downlinks in the parent page match the lower level, because a
half-dead page has no downlink. To cope, check for that condition, and
just give up on the deletion if it happens. The vacuum will finish the
deletion of the half-dead page when it gets there, and on the next vacuum
after that the empty can be deleted.

Change the total-transactions counters from int32 to int64 to accommodate
cases where we do more than 2^31 transactions during a run. This patch
does not change the INT_MAX limit on explicit "-t" parameters, but it
does allow the product of the -t and -c parameters to exceed INT_MAX, or
allow a -T limit that is large enough that more than 2^31 transactions
can be completed. While pgbench did not actually fail in such cases,
it did print an incorrect total-transactions count, and some of the
derived numbers such as TPS would have been wrong as well.
Tomas Vondra
HeapTupleHeaderGetCmax() asserts that it is only used if the tuple has
been updated by the current transaction. That check is correct and
sensible but requires allocating memory if xmax is a multixact. When
wal_level is set to logical cmax needs to be included in a wal record
, generated inside a critical section, which can trigger the assertion
added in 4a170ee9e.
Reported-By: Steve Singer
Define padding bytes in SharedInvalidationMessage structs to be
defined. Otherwise the sinvaladt.c ringbuffer, which is accessed by
multiple processes, will cause spurious valgrind warnings about
undefined memory being used. That's because valgrind remembers the
undefined bytes from the last local process's store, not realizing
that another process has written since, filling the previously
uninitialized bytes.
Commit af7914c662, which introduced the
EXPLAIN (TIMING) option, for some reason coded explain.c to look at
planstate->instrument->need_timer rather than es->timing to decide
whether to print timing info. However, the former flag might get set
as a result of contrib/auto_explain wanting timing information. We
certainly don't want activation of auto_explain to change user-visible
statement behavior, so fix that.
Also fix an independent bug introduced in the same patch: in the code
path for a never-executed node with a machine-friendly output format,
if timing was selected, it would fail to print the Actual Rows and Actual
Loops items.
Per bug #10404 from Tomonari Katsumata. Back-patch to 9.2 where the
faulty code was introduced.
I got the backup block numbers off-by-one in the commit that changed the
way incomplete-splits are handled. I blame the comments, which said
"backup block 1" and "backup block 2", even though the backup blocks
are numbered starting from 0, in the macros and functions used in replay.
Fix the comments and the code.
Per Jeff Janes' bug report about corruption caused by torn page writes.
The incorrect code is new in git master, but backpatch the comment change
down to 9.0, where the numbering in the redo-side macros was changed.
C89 says that compound initializers may only contain constant expressions;
a restriction violated by commit 89d00cbe. While we've had no actual field
complaints about this, C89 is still the project standard, and it's not
saving all that much code to break compatibility here. So let's adhere to
the old restriction.
In passing, replace a bunch of hardwired constants "256" with
sizeof(target-variable), just because the latter is more readable and
less breakable. And const-ify where possible.
Back-patch to 9.3 where the nonportable code was added.
Andres Freund and Tom Lane
That's what I get for not fully retesting the final version of the patch.
The replace_allowed cross-check needs an additional special case for
bootstrapping.
RelationCacheInsert() ignored the possibility that hash_search(HASH_ENTER)
might find a hashtable entry already present for the same OID. However,
that can in fact occur during recursive relcache load scenarios. When it
did happen, we overwrote the pointer to the pre-existing Relation, causing
a session-lifespan leakage of that entire structure. As far as is known,
the pre-existing Relation would always have reference count zero by the
time we arrive back at the outer insertion, so add code that deletes the
pre-existing Relation if so. If by some chance its refcount is positive,
elog a WARNING and allow the pre-existing Relation to be leaked as before.
Also, AttrDefaultFetch() was sloppy about leaking the cstring form of the
pg_attrdef.adbin value it's copying into the relcache structure. This is
only a query-lifespan leakage, and normally not very significant, but it
adds up during CLOBBER_CACHE testing.
These bugs are of very ancient vintage, but I'll refrain from back-patching
since there's no evidence that these leaks amount to anything in ordinary
usage.
The fallback implementation involves acquiring and releasing a spinlock
variable that is otherwise unreferenced --- not even to the extent of
initializing it. This accidentally fails to fail on platforms where
spinlocks should be initialized to zeroes, but elsewhere it results in
a "stuck spinlock" failure during startup.
I griped about this last July, and put in a hack that worked for gcc
on HPPA, but didn't get around to fixing the general case. Per the
discussion back then, the best thing to do seems to be to initialize
dummy_spinlock in main.c.
The xl_heap_header_len structures in an XLOG_HEAP_UPDATE record aren't
necessarily aligned adequately. The regular replay function for these
records is aware of that, but decode.c didn't get the memo. I'm not
sure why the buildfarm failed to catch this; the test_decoding test
certainly blows up real good on my old HPPA box.
Also, I'm pretty sure that the address arithmetic was wrong for the
case of XLOG_HEAP_CONTAINS_OLD and not XLOG_HEAP_CONTAINS_NEW_TUPLE,
though this apparently can't happen when logical decoding is active.
transam/README explained how B-tree incomplete splits were tracked and
fixed after recovery, as an example of handling complex actions that need
multiple WAL records, but that's not how it works anymore. Explain the new
paradigm.
Several years ago we changed chr(int) so that if the database encoding is
UTF8, it would interpret its argument as a Unicode code point and expand it
into the appropriate multibyte sequence. However, we weren't sufficiently
careful about checking validity of the input. According to RFC3629, UTF8
disallows code points above U+10FFFF (note that the predecessor standard
RFC2279 was more liberal). Also, both versions of the UTF8 spec agree
that Unicode surrogate-pair codes should never appear in UTF8. Because
our encoding validity checks follow RFC3629, our failure to enforce these
restrictions in chr() means it could be used to produce text strings that
will be rejected when the database is dumped and reloaded. To ensure
consistency with the input functions, let's actually apply
pg_utf8_islegal() to the proposed output of chr().
Per discussion, this seems like too much of a behavioral change to
back-patch, but it's not too late to squeeze it into 9.4.
