We used to only initialize the stack base pointer when starting up a regular backend, not in other processes. In particular, autovacuum workers can run arbitrary user code, and without stack-depth checking, infinite recursion in e.g an index expression will bring down the whole cluster. The comment about PL/Java using set_stack_base() is not yet true. As the code stands, PL/java still modifies the stack_base_ptr variable directly. However, it's been discussed in the PL/Java mailing list that it should be changed to use the function, because PL/Java is currently oblivious to the register stack used on Itanium. There's another issues with PL/Java, namely that the stack base pointer it sets is not really the base of the stack, it could be something close to the bottom of the stack. That's a separate issue that might need some further changes to this code, but that's a different story. Backpatch to all supported releases. |

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: http://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the file HISTORY. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at http://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
