SQL/JSON: Fix some oversights in commit
b6e1157e7
The decision in
b6e1157e7 to ignore raw_expr when evaluating a
JsonValueExpr was incorrect. While its value is not ultimately
used (since formatted_expr's value is), failing to initialize it
can lead to problems, for instance, when the expression tree in
raw_expr contains Aggref nodes, which must be initialized to
ensure the parent Agg node works correctly.
Also, optimize eval_const_expressions_mutator()'s handling of
JsonValueExpr a bit. Currently, when formatted_expr cannot be folded
into a constant, we end up processing it twice -- once directly in
eval_const_expressions_mutator() and again recursively via
ece_generic_processing(). This recursive processing is required to
handle raw_expr. To avoid the redundant processing of formatted_expr,
we now process raw_expr directly in eval_const_expressions_mutator().
Finally, update the comment of JsonValueExpr to describe the roles of
raw_expr and formatted_expr more clearly.

Fix extreme skew detection in Parallel Hash Join.
After repartitioning the inner side of a hash join that would have
exceeded the allowed size, we check if all the tuples from a parent
partition moved to one child partition. That is evidence that it
contains duplicate keys and later attempts to repartition will also
fail, so we should give up trying to limit memory (for lack of a better
fallback strategy).
A thinko prevented the check from working correctly in partition 0 (the
one that is partially loaded into memory already). After
repartitioning, we should check for extreme skew if the *parent*
partition's space_exhausted flag was set, not the child partition's.
The consequence was repeated futile repartitioning until per-partition
data exceeded various limits including "ERROR: invalid DSA memory alloc
request size
1811939328", OS allocation failure, or temporary disk space
errors. (We could also do something about some of those symptoms, but
that's material for separate patches.)
This problem only became likely when PostgreSQL 16 introduced support
for Parallel Hash Right/Full Join, allowing NULL keys into the hash
table. Repartitioning always leaves NULL in partition 0, no matter how
many times you do it, because the hash value is all zero bits. That's
unlikely for other hashed values, but they might still have caused
wasted extra effort before giving up.

Further refine _SPI_execute_plan's rule for atomic execution.
Commit
2dc1deaea turns out to have been still a brick shy of a load,
because CALL statements executing within a plpgsql exception block
could still pass the wrong snapshot to stable functions within the
CALL's argument list. That happened because standard_ProcessUtility
forces isAtomicContext to true if IsTransactionBlock is true, which
it always will be inside a subtransaction. Then ExecuteCallStmt
would think it does not need to push a new snapshot --- but
_SPI_execute_plan didn't do so either, since it thought it was in
nonatomic mode.
The best fix for this seems to be for _SPI_execute_plan to operate
in atomic execution mode if IsSubTransaction() is true, even when the
SPI context as a whole is non-atomic. This makes _SPI_execute_plan
have the same rules about when non-atomic execution is allowed as
_SPI_commit/_SPI_rollback have about when COMMIT/ROLLBACK are allowed,
which seems appropriately symmetric. (If anyone ever tries to allow
COMMIT/ROLLBACK inside a subtransaction, this would all need to be
rethought ... but I'm unconvinced that such a thing could be logically
consistent at all.)
For further consistency, also check IsSubTransaction() in
SPI_inside_nonatomic_context. That does not matter for its
one present-day caller StartTransaction, which can't be reached
inside a subtransaction. But if any other callers ever arise,
they'd presumably want this definition.

Reduce memory block size for decoded tuple storage to 8kB.
Commit
a4ccc1cef introduced the Generation Context and modified the
logical decoding process to use a Generation Context with a fixed
block size of 8MB for storing tuple data decoded during logical
decoding (i.e., rb->tup_context). Several reports have indicated that
the logical decoding process can be terminated due to
out-of-memory (OOM) situations caused by excessive memory usage in
rb->tup_context.
This issue can occur when decoding a workload involving several
concurrent transactions, including a long-running transaction that
modifies tuples. By design, the Generation Context does not free a
memory block until all chunks within that block are
released. Consequently, if tuples modified by the long-running
transaction are stored across multiple memory blocks, these blocks
remain allocated until the long-running transaction completes, leading
to substantial memory fragmentation. The memory usage during logical
decoding, tracked by rb->size, does not account for memory
fragmentation, resulting in potentially much higher memory consumption
than the value of the logical_decoding_work_mem parameter.
Various improvement strategies were discussed in the relevant
thread. This change reduces the block size of the Generation Context
used in rb->tup_context from 8MB to 8kB. This modification
significantly decreases the likelihood of substantial memory
fragmentation occurring and is relatively straightforward to
backport. Performance testing across multiple platforms has confirmed
that this change will not introduce any performance degradation that
would impact actual operation.

Correctly identify which EC members are computable at a plan node.
find_computable_ec_member() had the wrong mental model of what
its primary caller prepare_sort_from_pathkeys() would do with
the selected EquivalenceClass member expression. We will not
compute the EC expression in a plan node atop the one returning
the passed-in targetlist; rather, the EC expression will be
computed as an additional column of that targetlist. So any
Var or quasi-Var used in the given tlist is also available to the
EC expression. In simple cases this makes no difference because
the given tlist is just a list of Vars or quasi-Vars --- but if
we are considering an appendrel member produced by flattening
a UNION ALL, the tlist may contain expressions, resulting in
failure to match and a "could not find pathkey item to sort"

To fix, we can flatten both the tlist and the EC members with

that the code is actually shorter than before.

Ignore not-yet-defined Portals in pg_cursors view.
pg_cursor() supposed that any Portal it finds in the hash table must

A newly-created Portal has sourceText = NULL, and that doesn't change
until PortalDefineQuery is called. In SPI_cursor_open_internal,
we perform GetCachedPlan between CreatePortal and PortalDefineQuery,

planning and cause a fetch from the pg_cursors view, resulting in a
null-pointer-dereference crash. (It looks like the same could happen

there may be instances of this same calling pattern in extensions,
and we couldn't be sure they'd get the memo promptly. It seems
better to redefine pg_cursor as not showing Portals that have
not yet had PortalDefineQuery called on them, which we can do by
just skipping them if sourceText is still NULL.

Reject non-ASCII locale names.
Commit
bf03cfd1 started scanning all available BCP 47 locale names on
Windows. This caused an abort/crash in the Windows runtime library if
the default locale name contained non-ASCII characters, because of our
use of the setlocale() save/restore pattern with "char" strings. After
switching to another locale with a different encoding, the saved name
could no longer be understood, and setlocale() would abort.
"Turkish_Türkiye.1254" is the example from recent reports, but there are
other examples of countries and languages with non-ASCII characters in
their names, and they appear in Windows' (old style) locale names.
To defend against this:
1. In initdb, reject non-ASCII locale names given explicity on the
command line, or returned by the operating system environment with
setlocale(..., ""), or "canonicalized" by the operating system when we
set it.
2. In initdb only, perform the save-and-restore with Windows'
non-standard wchar_t variant of setlocale(), so that it is not subject
to round trip failures stemming from char string encoding confusion.
3. In the backend, we don't have to worry about the save-and-restore
problem because we have already vetted the defaults, so we just have to
make sure that CREATE DATABASE also rejects non-ASCII names in any new
databases. SET lc_XXX doesn't suffer from the problem, but the ban
applies to it too because it uses check_locale(). CREATE COLLATION
doesn't suffer from the problem either, but it doesn't use
check_locale() so it is not included in the new ban for now, to minimize
the change.
Anyone who encounters the new error message should either create a new
duplicated locale with an ASCII-only name using Windows Locale Builder,
or consider using BCP 47 names like "tr-TR". Users already couldn't
initialize a cluster with "Turkish_Türkiye.1254" on PostgreSQL 16+, but
the new failure mode is an error message that explains why, instead of a
crash.

Because of that, there was a small window where a second backend doing a

For inplace update durability, make heap_update() callers wait.
The previous commit fixed some ways of losing an inplace update. It
remained possible to lose one when a backend working toward a
heap_update() copied a tuple into memory just before inplace update of
that tuple. In catalogs eligible for inplace update, use LOCKTAG_TUPLE
to govern admission to the steps of copying an old tuple, modifying it,
and issuing heap_update(). This includes MERGE commands. To avoid
changing most of the pg_class DDL, don't require LOCKTAG_TUPLE when
holding a relation lock sufficient to exclude inplace updaters.

Fix data loss at inplace update after heap_update().
As previously-added tests demonstrated, heap_inplace_update() could
instead update an unrelated tuple of the same catalog. It could lose
the update. Losing relhasindex=t was a source of index corruption.
Inplace-updating commands like VACUUM will now wait for heap_update()
commands like GRANT TABLE and GRANT DATABASE. That isn't ideal, but a
long-running GRANT already hurts VACUUM progress more just by keeping an

Add missing query ID reporting in extended query protocol
This commit adds query ID reports for two code paths when processing
extended query protocol messages:
- When receiving a bind message, setting it to the first Query retrieved
from a cached cache.
- When receiving an execute message, setting it to the first PlannedStmt
stored in a portal.
An advantage of this method is that this is able to cover all the types
of portals handled in the extended query protocol, particularly these
two when the report done in ExecutorStart() is not enough (neither is an
addition in ExecutorRun(), actually, for the second point):
- Multiple execute messages, with multiple ExecutorRun().
- Portal with execute/fetch messages, like a query with a RETURNING
clause and a fetch size that stores the tuples in a first execute
message going though ExecutorStart() and ExecuteRun(), followed by one
or more execute messages doing only fetches from the tuplestore created
in the first message. This corresponds to the case where
execute_is_fetch is set, for example.
Note that the query ID reporting done in ExecutorStart() is still
necessary, as an EXECUTE requires it. Query ID reporting is optimistic
and more calls to pgstat_report_query_id() don't matter as the first
report takes priority except if the report is forced. The comment in
ExecutorStart() is adjusted to reflect better the reality with the
extended query protocol.
The test added in pg_stat_statements is a courtesy of Robert Haas. This
uses psql's \bind metacommand, hence this part is backpatched down to
v16.

Repair pg_upgrade for identity sequences with non-default persistence.
Since we introduced unlogged sequences in v15, identity sequences
have defaulted to having the same persistence as their owning table.
However, it is possible to change that with ALTER SEQUENCE, and
pg_dump tries to preserve the logged-ness of sequences when it doesn't
match (as indeed it wouldn't for an unlogged table from before v15).
The fly in the ointment is that ALTER SEQUENCE SET [UN]LOGGED fails
in binary-upgrade mode, because it needs to assign a new relfilenode
which we cannot permit in that mode. Thus, trying to pg_upgrade a
database containing a mismatching identity sequence failed.
To fix, add syntax to ADD/ALTER COLUMN GENERATED AS IDENTITY to allow
the sequence's persistence to be set correctly at creation, and use
that instead of ALTER SEQUENCE SET [UN]LOGGED in pg_dump. (I tried to
make SET [UN]LOGGED work without any pg_dump modifications, but that
seems too fragile to be a desirable answer. This way should be
markedly faster anyhow.)
In passing, document the previously-undocumented SEQUENCE NAME option
that pg_dump also relies on for identity sequences; I see no value
in trying to pretend it doesn't exist.

Replace usages of xmlXPathCompile() with xmlXPathCtxtCompile().
In existing releases of libxml2, xmlXPathCompile can be driven
to stack overflow because it fails to protect itself against
too-deeply-nested input. While there is an upstream fix as of
yesterday, it will take years for that to propagate into all
shipping versions. In the meantime, we can protect our own
usages basically for free by calling xmlXPathCtxtCompile instead.
(The actual bug is that libxml2 keeps its nesting counter in the
xmlXPathContext, and its parsing code was willing to just skip
counting nesting levels if it didn't have a context. So if we supply
a context, all is well. It seems odd actually that it works at all
to not supply a context, because this means that XPath parsing does
not have access to XML namespace info. Apparently libxml2 never
checks namespaces until runtime? Anyway, this seems like good
future-proofing even if its only immediate effect is to dodge a bug.)
Sadly, this hack only offers protection with libxml2 2.9.11 and newer.
Before that there are multiple similar problems, so if you are
processing untrusted XML it behooves you to get a newer version.
But we have some pretty old libxml2 in the buildfarm, so it seems
impractical to add a regression test to verify this fix.

First, the output of the new call to tuple_data_split() on the test

Second, on versions older than v15, the new test case fails under

Fix unique key checks in JSON object constructors
When building a JSON object, the code builds a hash table of keys, to
allow checking if the keys are unique. The uniqueness check and adding
the new key happens in json_unique_check_key(), but this assumes the
pointer to the key remains valid.
Unfortunately, two places passed pointers to keys in a buffer, while
also appending more data (additional key/value pairs) to the buffer.
With enough data the buffer is resized by enlargeStringInfo(), which
calls repalloc(), invalidating the earlier key pointers.
Due to this the uniqueness check may fail with both false negatives and
false positives, producing JSON objects with duplicate keys or failing
to produce a perfectly valid JSON object.
This affects multiple functions that enforce uniqueness of keys, all
introduced in PG16 with the new SQL/JSON:
- json_object_agg_unique / jsonb_object_agg_unique
- json_object / jsonb_objectagg
Existing regression tests did not detect the issue, simply because the
initial buffer size is 1024 and the objects were small enough not to
require the repalloc.
With a sufficiently large object, AddressSanitizer reported the access
to invalid memory immediately. So would valgrind, of course.
Fixed by copying the key into the hash table memory context, and adding
regression tests with enough data to repalloc the buffer. Backpatch to
16, where the functions were introduced.

Prevent mis-encoding of "trailing junk after numeric literal" errors.
Since commit
2549f0661, we reject an identifier immediately following
a numeric literal (without separating whitespace), because that risks
ambiguity with hex/octal/binary integers. However, that patch used
token patterns like "{integer}{ident_start}", which is problematic
because {ident_start} matches only a single byte. If the first
character after the integer is a multibyte character, this ends up
with flex reporting an error message that includes a partial multibyte
character. That can cause assorted bad-encoding problems downstream,
both in the report to the client and in the postmaster log file.
To fix, use {identifier} not {ident_start} in the "junk" token
patterns, so that they will match complete multibyte characters.
This seems generally better user experience quite aside from the
encoding problem: for "123abc" the error message will now say that
the error appeared at or near "123abc" instead of "123a".
While at it, add some commentary about why these patterns exist
and how they work.

Avoid inserting PlaceHolderVars in cases where pre-v16 PG did not.
Commit
2489d76c4 removed some logic from pullup_replace_vars()
that avoided wrapping a PlaceHolderVar around a pulled-up
subquery output expression if the expression could be proven
to go to NULL anyway (because it contained Vars or PHVs of the
pulled-up relation and did not contain non-strict constructs).
But removing that logic turns out to cause performance regressions
in some cases, because the extra PHV blocks subexpression folding,
and will do so even if outer-join reduction later turns it into a
no-op with no phnullingrels bits. This can for example prevent
an expression from being matched to an index.
The reason for always adding a PHV was to ensure we had someplace
to put the varnullingrels marker bits of the Var being replaced.
However, it turns out we can optimize in exactly the same cases that
the previous code did, because we can instead attach the needed
varnullingrels bits to the contained Var(s)/PHV(s).
This is not a complete solution --- it would be even better if we
could remove PHVs after reducing them to no-ops. It doesn't look
practical to back-patch such an improvement, but this change seems
safe and at least gets rid of the performance-regression cases.

Fix mis-deparsing of ORDER BY lists when there is a name conflict.
If an ORDER BY item in SELECT is a bare identifier, the parser
first seeks it as an output column name of the SELECT (for SQL92
compatibility). However, ruleutils.c is expecting the SQL99
interpretation where such a name is an input column name. So it's
possible to produce an incorrect display of a view in the (admittedly
pretty ill-advised) case where some other column is renamed in the
SELECT output list to match an ORDER BY column.
This can be fixed by table-qualifying such names in the dumped
view text. To avoid cluttering less-ill-advised queries, we'd
like to do so only when there's an actual name conflict.
That requires passing the current get_query_def call's resultDesc
parameter down to get_variable, so that it can determine what
the output column names are. In hopes of reducing rather than
increasing notational clutter in ruleutils.c, I moved that value
into the deparse_context struct and removed it from the parameter
lists of get_query_def's other subroutines.
I made a few other cosmetic changes while at it:
* Likewise move the colNamesVisible parameter into deparse_context.
* Rename deparse_context's windowTList field to targetList,
since it's no longer used only in connection with WINDOW clauses.
* Replace the special_exprkind field with a bool inGroupBy,
since that was all it was being used for, and the apparent
flexibility of storing a ParseExprKind proved to be illusory.
(We need a separate varInOrderBy field to make this patch work.)
* Remove useless save/restore logic in get_select_query_def.
In principle, this bug is quite old. However, it seems unreachable
before
1b4d280ea, because before that the presence of "new" and "old"
entries in a view's rangetable caused us to always table-qualify every
Var reference in dumped views. Hence, back-patch to v16 where that
came in.

Fix creation of partition descriptor during concurrent detach+drop
If a partition undergoes DETACH CONCURRENTLY immediately followed by
DROP, this could cause a problem for a concurrent transaction
recomputing the partition descriptor when running a prepared statement,
because it tries to dereference a pointer to a tuple that's not found in
a catalog scan.
The existing retry logic added in commit
dbca3469ebf8 is sufficient to
cope with the overall problem, provided we don't try to dereference a
non-existant heap tuple.
Arguably, the code in RelationBuildPartitionDesc() has been wrong all
along, since no check was added in commit
898e5e3290a7 against receiving
a NULL tuple from the catalog scan; that bug has only become
user-visible with DETACH CONCURRENTLY which was added in branch 14.
Therefore, even though there's no known mechanism to cause a crash
because of this, backpatch the addition of such a check to all supported
branches. In branches prior to 14, this would cause the code to fail
with a "missing relpartbound for relation XYZ" error instead of
crashing; that's okay, because there are no reports of such behavior

If the plancache entry for the CALL statement is already stale,

In ordinary usage this never happens because make_callstmt_target

Restrict accesses to non-system views and foreign tables during pg_dump.
When pg_dump retrieves the list of database objects and performs the
data dump, there was possibility that objects are replaced with others
of the same name, such as views, and access them. This vulnerability
could result in code execution with superuser privileges during the
pg_dump process.
This issue can arise when dumping data of sequences, foreign
tables (only 13 or later), or tables registered with a WHERE clause in
the extension configuration table.
To address this, pg_dump now utilizes the newly introduced
restrict_nonsystem_relation_kind GUC parameter to restrict the
accesses to non-system views and foreign tables during the dump
process. This new GUC parameter is added to back branches too, but
these changes do not require cluster recreation.
Back-patch to all supported branches.

Skip citext_utf8 test on Windows.
Back-patch of commit
cff4e5a3 to 15 and 16, per request from Oleg
Tselebrovskiy. Original commit message:
On other Windows build farm animals it is already skipped because they
don't use UTF-8 encoding. On "hamerkop", UTF-8 is used, and then the
test fails.
It is not clear to me (a non-Windows person looking only at buildfarm
evidence) whether Windows is less sophisticated than other OSes and
doesn't know how to downcase Turkish İ with the standard Unicode
database, or if it is more sophisticated than other systems and uses
locale-specific behavior like ICU does.
Whichever the reason, the result is the same: we need to skip the test
on Windows, just as we already do for ICU, at least until a
Windows-savvy developer comes up with a better idea. The technique for
detecting the OS is borrowed from collate.windows.win1252.sql.
This was anticipated by commit
c2e8bd27, but the problem only surfaced
when Windows build farm animals started using Meson.

Revert "Allow parallel workers to cope with a newly-created session user ID."
This reverts commit
849326e49a5dd56941eb8fb4699130c301bff303.
Some buildfarm animals are failing with "cannot change
"client_encoding" during a parallel operation". It looks like
assign_client_encoding is unhappy at being asked to roll back a
client_encoding setting after a parallel worker encounters a
failure. There must be more to it though: why didn't I see this
during local testing? In any case, it's clear that moving the
RestoreGUCState() call is not as side-effect-free as I thought.
Given that the bug
f5f30c22e intended to fix has gone unreported
for years, it's not something that's urgent to fix; I'm not
willing to risk messing with it further with only days to our
next release wrap.

Allow parallel workers to cope with a newly-created session user ID.
Parallel workers failed after a sequence like
BEGIN;
CREATE USER foo;
SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION foo;
because check_session_authorization could not see the uncommitted
pg_authid row for "foo". This is because we ran RestoreGUCState()
in a separate transaction using an ordinary just-created snapshot.
The same disease afflicts any other GUC that requires catalog lookups
and isn't forgiving about the lookups failing.
To fix, postpone RestoreGUCState() into the worker's main transaction
after we've set up a snapshot duplicating the leader's. This affects
check_transaction_isolation and check_transaction_deferrable, which
think they should only run during transaction start. Make them
act like check_transaction_read_only, which already knows it should
silently accept the value when InitializingParallelWorker.
Per bug #18545 from Andrey Rachitskiy. Back-patch to all
supported branches, because this has been wrong for awhile.

Doc: mention executor memory usage for enable_partitionwise* GUCs
Prior to this commit, the docs for enable_partitionwise_aggregate and
enable_partitionwise_join mentioned the additional overheads enabling
these causes for the query planner, but they mentioned nothing about the
possible surge in work_mem-consuming executor nodes that could end up in
the final plan. Dimitrios reported the OOM killer intervened on his
query as a result of using enable_partitionwise_aggregate=on.
Here we adjust the docs to mention the possible increase in the number of
work_mem-consuming executor nodes that can appear in the final plan as a
result of enabling these GUCs.

Use DELETE instead of UPDATE to speed up vacuum test
01e2b7f0fd02a44e introduced a test which generated dead tuples for
vacuum with an UPDATE. The test only required enough dead TIDs for two
rounds of index vacuuming. This can be accomplished with a DELETE
instead of an UPDATE -- which generates about 50% less WAL and makes the
test 20% faster in many cases. The test takes several seconds (more on
slow buildfarm animals) because we need quite a few tuples to trigger
two rounds of index vacuuming; so it is worth a follow-on commit to
speed it up.
