Commit
4c1532763a removed some redundant uses of 'use 5.008001;' in perl

Create common infrastructure for cross-version upgrade testing.
To test pg_upgrade across major PG versions, we have to be able to
modify or drop any old objects with no-longer-supported properties,
and we have to be able to deal with cosmetic changes in pg_dump output.
Up to now, the buildfarm and pg_upgrade's own test infrastructure had
separate implementations of the former, and we had nothing but very
ad-hoc rules for the latter (including an arbitrary threshold on how
many lines of unchecked diff were okay!). This patch creates a Perl
module that can be shared by both those use-cases, and adds logic
that deals with pg_dump output diffs in a much more tightly defined
fashion.
This largely supersedes previous efforts in commits
0df9641d3,
9814ff550, and
62be9e4cd, which developed a SQL-script-based solution
for the task of dropping old objects. There was nothing fundamentally
wrong with that work in itself, but it had no basis for solving the
output-formatting problem. The most plausible way to deal with
formatting is to build a Perl module that can perform editing on the
dump files; and once we commit to that, it makes more sense for the
same module to also embed the knowledge of what has to be done for
dropping old objects.
Back-patch versions of the helper module as far as 9.2, to
support buildfarm animals that still test that far back.
It's also necessary to back-patch PostgreSQL/Version.pm,
because the new code depends on that. I fixed up pg_upgrade's
002_pg_upgrade.pl in v15, but did not look into back-patching
it further than that.

security_context_t got removed from most of the code tree during the

Rename parser token REF to REF_P to avoid a symbol conflict.
In the latest version of Apple's macOS SDK, <sys/socket.h>
fails to compile if "REF" is #define'd as something.
Apple may or may not agree that this is a bug, and even if
they do accept the bug report I filed, they probably won't
fix it very quickly. In the meantime, our back branches will all
fail to compile gram.y. v15 and HEAD currently escape the problem
thanks to the refactoring done in
98e93a1fc, but that's purely
accidental. Moreover, since that patch removed a widely-visible
inclusion of <netdb.h>, back-patching it seems too likely to break
third-party code.
Instead, change the token's code name to REF_P, following our usual

Fix crash when columns have been added to the end of a view.
expandRTE() supposed that an RTE_SUBQUERY subquery must have exactly
as many non-junk tlist items as the RTE has column aliases for it.
This was true at the time the code was written, and is still true so
far as parse analysis is concerned --- but when the function is used
during planning, the subquery might have appeared through insertion
of a view that now has more columns than it did when the outer query
was parsed. This results in a core dump if, for instance, we have
to expand a whole-row Var that references the subquery.
To avoid crashing, we can either stop expanding the RTE when we run
out of aliases, or invent new aliases for the added columns. While
the latter might be more useful, the former is consistent with what
expandRTE() does for composite-returning functions in the RTE_FUNCTION
case, so it seems like we'd better do it that way.

Rethink the dependencies recorded for FieldSelect/FieldStore nodes.
On closer investigation, commits
f3ea3e3e8 et al were a few bricks
shy of a load. What we need is not so much to lock down the result
type of a FieldSelect, as to lock down the existence of the column
it's trying to extract. Otherwise, we can break it by dropping that
column. The dependency on the result type is then held indirectly
through the column, and doesn't need to be recorded explicitly.
Out of paranoia, I left in the code to record a dependency on the
result type, but it's used only if we can't identify the pg_class OID
for the column. That shouldn't ever happen right now, AFAICS, but

being of type RECORD rather than some specific composite type.

Fix libpq to not require user's home directory to exist.
Some people like to run libpq-using applications in environments where
there's no home directory. We've broken that scenario before (cf commits
5b4067798 and
bd58d9d88), and commit
ba005f193 broke it again, by making
it a hard error if we fail to get the home directory name while looking
for ~/.pgpass. The previous precedent is that if we can't get the home
directory name, we should just silently act as though the file we hoped
to find there doesn't exist. Rearrange the new code to honor that.
Looking around, the service-file code added by commit
41a4e4595 had the
same disease. Apparently, that escaped notice because it only runs when
a service name has been specified, which I guess the people who use this
scenario don't do. Nonetheless, it's wrong too, so fix that case as well.
Add a comment about this policy to pqGetHomeDirectory, in the probably
vain hope of forestalling the same error in future. And upgrade the
rather miserable commenting in parseServiceInfo, too.
In passing, also back off parseServiceInfo's assumption that only ENOENT
is an ignorable error from stat() when checking a service file. We would

Fix some oversights in expression dependency recording.
find_expr_references() neglected to record a dependency on the result type
of a FieldSelect node, allowing a DROP TYPE to break a view or rule that

reasoning that there would always be a related dependency ensuring that the
DROP would cascade to the view. But at least with nested field selection
expressions, that's not true, as shown in bug #14867 from Mansur Galiev.

Fix low-probability loss of NOTIFY messages due to XID wraparound.
Up to now async.c has used TransactionIdIsInProgress() to detect whether
a notify message's source transaction is still running. However, that
function has a quick-exit path that reports that XIDs before RecentXmin
are no longer running. If a listening backend is doing nothing but
listening, and not running any queries, there is nothing that will advance
its value of RecentXmin. Once 2 billion transactions elapse, the
RecentXmin check causes active transactions to be reported as not running.
If they aren't committed yet according to CLOG, async.c decides they
aborted and discards their messages. The timing for that is a bit tight
but it can happen when multiple backends are sending notifies concurrently.
The net symptom therefore is that a sufficiently-long-surviving
listen-only backend starts to miss some fraction of NOTIFY traffic,
but only under heavy load.
The only function that updates RecentXmin is GetSnapshotData().
A brute-force fix would therefore be to take a snapshot before
processing incoming notify messages. But that would add cycles,
as well as contention for the ProcArrayLock. We can be smarter:
having taken the snapshot, let's use that to check for running
XIDs, and not call TransactionIdIsInProgress() at all. In this
way we reduce the number of ProcArrayLock acquisitions from one
per message to one per notify interrupt; that's the same under
light load but should be a benefit under heavy load. Light testing
says that this change is a wash performance-wise for normal loads.
I looked around for other callers of TransactionIdIsInProgress()
that might be at similar risk, and didn't find any; all of them
are inside transactions that presumably have already taken a
snapshot.

Fix possible dangling pointer dereference in trigger.c.

repalloc'd during a trigger firing, but it nonetheless passes the address
of a query_stack entry to afterTriggerInvokeEvents, so that if such a
repalloc occurs, afterTriggerInvokeEvents is already working with an
obsolete dangling pointer while it scans the rest of the events. Oops.
The only code at risk is its "delete_ok" cleanup code, so we can
prevent unsafe behavior by passing delete_ok = false instead of true.
However, that could have a significant performance penalty, because the
point of passing delete_ok = true is to not have to re-scan possibly
a large number of dead trigger events on the next time through the loop.
There's more than one way to skin that cat, though. What we can do is
delete all the "chunks" in the event list except the last one, since
we know all events in them must be dead. Deleting the chunks is work
we'd have had to do later in AfterTriggerEndQuery anyway, and it ends
up saving rescanning of just about the same events we'd have gotten
rid of with delete_ok = true.
In v10 and HEAD, we also have to be careful to mop up any per-table
after_trig_events pointers that would become dangling. This is slightly
annoying, but I don't think that normal use-cases will traverse this code
path often enough for it to be a performance problem.

Handle elog(FATAL) during ROLLBACK more robustly.
Stress testing by Andreas Seltenreich disclosed longstanding problems that
occur if a FATAL exit (e.g. due to receipt of SIGTERM) occurs while we are
trying to execute a ROLLBACK of an already-failed transaction. In such a
case, xact.c is in TBLOCK_ABORT state, so that AbortOutOfAnyTransaction
would skip AbortTransaction and go straight to CleanupTransaction. This
led to an assert failure in an assert-enabled build (due to the ROLLBACK's
portal still having a cleanup hook) or without assertions, to a FATAL exit
complaining about "cannot drop active portal". The latter's not
disastrous, perhaps, but it's messy enough to want to improve it.
We don't really want to run all of AbortTransaction in this code path.
The minimum required to clean up the open portal safely is to do
AtAbort_Memory and AtAbort_Portals. It seems like a good idea to
do AtAbort_Memory unconditionally, to be entirely sure that we are
starting with a safe CurrentMemoryContext. That means that if the
main loop in AbortOutOfAnyTransaction does nothing, we need an extra
step at the bottom to restore CurrentMemoryContext = TopMemoryContext,
which I chose to do by invoking AtCleanup_Memory. This'll result in
calling AtCleanup_Memory twice in many of the paths through this function,
but that seems harmless and reasonably inexpensive.
The original motivation for the assertion in AtCleanup_Portals was that
we wanted to be sure that any user-defined code executed as a consequence
of the cleanup hook runs during AbortTransaction not CleanupTransaction.
That still seems like a valid concern, and now that we've seen one case
of the assertion firing --- which means that exactly that would have
happened in a production build --- let's replace the Assert with a runtime
check. If we see the cleanup hook still set, we'll emit a WARNING and
just drop the hook unexecuted.
This has been like this a long time, so back-patch to all supported
branches.

Absorb -D_USE_32BIT_TIME_T switch from Perl, if relevant.
Commit
3c163a7fc's original choice to ignore all #define symbols whose
names begin with underscore turns out to be too simplistic. On Windows,
some Perl installations are built with -D_USE_32BIT_TIME_T, and we must
absorb that or we get the wrong result for sizeof(PerlInterpreter).
This effectively re-reverts commit
ef58b87df, which injected that symbol
in a hacky way, making it apply to all of Postgres not just PL/Perl.
More significantly, it did so on *all* 32-bit Windows builds, even when
the Perl build to be used did not select this option; so that it fails
to work properly with some newer Perl builds.
By making this change, we would be introducing an ABI break in 32-bit
Windows builds; but fortunately we have not used type time_t in any
exported Postgres APIs in a long time. So it should be OK, both for
PL/Perl itself and for third-party extensions, if an extension library
is built with a different _USE_32BIT_TIME_T setting than the core code.

Remove AtEOXact_CatCache().
The sole useful effect of this function, to check that no catcache
entries have positive refcounts at transaction end, has really been
obsolete since we introduced ResourceOwners in PG 8.1. We reduced the
checks to assertions years ago, so that the function was a complete
no-op in production builds. There have been previous discussions about
removing it entirely, but consensus up to now was that it had some small
value as a cross-check for bugs in the ResourceOwner logic.
However, it now emerges that it's possible to trigger these assertions
if you hit an assert-enabled backend with SIGTERM during a call to
SearchCatCacheList, because that function temporarily increases the
refcounts of entries it's intending to add to a catcache list construct.
In a normal ERROR scenario, the extra refcounts are cleaned up by
SearchCatCacheList's PG_CATCH block; but in a FATAL exit we do a
transaction abort and exit without ever executing PG_CATCH handlers.
There's a case to be made that this is a generic hazard and we should
consider restructuring elog(FATAL) handling so that pending PG_CATCH
handlers do get run. That's pretty scary though: it could easily create
more problems than it solves. Preliminary stress testing by Andreas
Seltenreich suggests that there are not many live problems of this ilk,
so we rejected that idea.
There are more-localized ways to fix the problem; the most principled
one would be to use PG_ENSURE_ERROR_CLEANUP instead of plain PG_TRY.
But adding cycles to SearchCatCacheList isn't very appealing. We could
also weaken the assertions in AtEOXact_CatCache in some more or less
ad-hoc way, but that just makes its raison d'etre even less compelling.
In the end, the most reasonable solution seems to be to just remove
AtEOXact_CatCache altogether, on the grounds that it's not worth trying
to fix it. It hasn't found any bugs for us in many years.

Fix handling of container types in find_composite_type_dependencies.
find_composite_type_dependencies correctly found columns that are of
the specified type, and columns that are of arrays of that type, but
not columns that are domains or ranges over the given type, its array
type, etc. The most general way to handle this seems to be to assume
that any type that is directly dependent on the specified type can be
treated as a container type, and processed recursively (allowing us
to handle nested cases such as ranges over domains over arrays ...).
Since a type's array type already has such a dependency, we can drop
the existing special case for the array type.
The very similar logic in get_rels_with_domain was likewise a few

Don't allow logging in with empty password.
Some authentication methods allowed it, others did not. In the client-side,
libpq does not even try to authenticate with an empty password, which makes
using empty passwords hazardous: an administrator might think that an
account with an empty password cannot be used to log in, because psql
doesn't allow it, and not realize that a different client would in fact
allow it. To clear that confusion and to be be consistent, disallow empty
passwords in all authentication methods.
All the authentication methods that used plaintext authentication over the
wire, except for BSD authentication, already checked that the password
received from the user was not empty. To avoid forgetting it in the future
again, move the check to the recv_password_packet function. That only
forbids using an empty password with plaintext authentication, however.
MD5 and SCRAM need a different fix:
* In stable branches, check that the MD5 hash stored for the user does not
not correspond to an empty string. This adds some overhead to MD5
authentication, because the server needs to compute an extra MD5 hash, but
it is not noticeable in practice.
* In HEAD, modify CREATE and ALTER ROLE to clear the password if an empty
string, or a password hash that corresponds to an empty string, is
specified. The user-visible behavior is the same as in the stable branches,
the user cannot log in, but it seems better to stop the empty password from
entering the system in the first place. Secondly, it is fairly expensive to
check that a SCRAM hash doesn't correspond to an empty string, because
computing a SCRAM hash is much more expensive than an MD5 hash by design,
so better avoid doing that on every authentication.
We could clear the password on CREATE/ALTER ROLE also in stable branches,
but we would still need to check at authentication time, because even if we
prevent empty passwords from being stored in pg_authid, there might be
existing ones there already.

little benefit except for very short-lived database connections, which is
Something We're Bad At anyhow. It would take a lot of other work to get

Fix race condition in predicate-lock init code in EXEC_BACKEND builds.
Trading a little too heavily on letting the code path be the same whether
we were creating shared data structures or only attaching to them,
InitPredicateLocks() inserted the "scratch" PredicateLockTargetHash entry
unconditionally. This is just wrong if we're in a postmaster child,
which would only reach this code in EXEC_BACKEND builds. Most of the
time, the hash_search(HASH_ENTER) call would simply report that the
entry already existed, causing no visible effect since the code did not
bother to check for that possibility. However, if this happened while
some other backend had transiently removed the "scratch" entry, then
that other backend's eventual RestoreScratchTarget would suffer an
assert failure; this appears to be the explanation for a recent failure
on buildfarm member culicidae. In non-assert builds, there would be
no visible consequences there either. But nonetheless this is a pretty
bad bug for EXEC_BACKEND builds, for two reasons:
1. Each new backend would perform the hash_search(HASH_ENTER) call
without holding any lock that would prevent concurrent access to the
PredicateLockTargetHash hash table. This creates a low but certainly
nonzero risk of corruption of that hash table.
2. In the event that the race condition occurred, by reinserting the
scratch entry too soon, we were defeating the entire purpose of the
scratch entry, namely to guarantee that transaction commit could move
hash table entries around with no risk of out-of-memory failure.
The odds of an actual OOM failure are quite low, but not zero, and if
it did happen it would again result in corruption of the hash table.
The user-visible symptoms of such corruption are a little hard to predict,
but would presumably amount to misbehavior of SERIALIZABLE transactions
that'd require a crash or postmaster restart to fix.
To fix, just skip the hash insertion if IsUnderPostmaster. I also
inserted a bunch of assertions that the expected things happen
depending on whether IsUnderPostmaster is true. That might be overkill,
since most comparable code in other functions isn't quite that paranoid,
but once burnt twice shy.

So, GetOldestActiveTransactionId returned XID 101, even though 100 only
just started and is surely still running.
This would be hard to hit in practice, and even harder to spot any ill
effect if it happens. GetOldestActiveTransactionId is only used when
creating a checkpoint in a master server, and the race condition can only
happen on an online checkpoint, as there are no backends running during a
shutdown checkpoint. The oldestActiveXid value of an online checkpoint is
only used when starting up a hot standby server, to determine the starting
point where pg_subtrans is initialized from. For the race condition to
happen, there must be no other XIDs in the proc array that would hold back
the oldest-active XID value, which means that the missed XID must be a top
transaction's XID. However, pg_subtrans is not used for top XIDs, so I
believe an off-by-one error is in fact inconsequential. Nevertheless, let's
fix it, as it's clearly wrong and the fix is simple.
This has been wrong ever since hot standby was introduced, so backport to
all supported versions.

Fix ruleutils.c for domain-over-array cases, too.
Further investigation shows that ruleutils isn't quite up to speed either
for cases where we have a domain-over-array: it needs to be prepared to
look past a CoerceToDomain at the top level of field and element
assignments, else it decompiles them incorrectly. Potentially this would
result in failure to dump/reload a rule, if it looked like the one in the
new test case. (I also added a test for EXPLAIN; that output isn't broken,
but clearly we need more test coverage here.)
Like commit
b1cb32fb6, this bug is reachable in cases we already support,
so back-patch all the way.

Reduce memory usage of tsvector type analyze function.
compute_tsvector_stats() detoasted and kept in memory every tsvector value
in the sample, but that can be a lot of memory. The original bug report
described a case using over 10 gigabytes, with statistics target of 10000
(the maximum).
To fix, allocate a separate copy of just the lexemes that we keep around,
and free the detoasted tsvector values as we go. This adds some palloc/pfree
overhead, when you have a lot of distinct lexemes in the sample, but it's
better than running out of memory.
