When parsing a timetz string with a dynamic timezone abbreviation or a
timezone not specified, it was possible to generate incorrect timestamps
based on a date which uses some non-initialized variables if the input
string did not specify fully a date to parse. This is already checked
when a full timezone spec is included in the input string, but the two
other cases mentioned above missed the same checks.
This gets fixed by generating an error as this input is invalid, or in
short when a date is not fully specified.
Valgrind was complaining about this problem.

were being dropped into the tmp_check/ subdirectory, but they should

Commit bf6c614a2 rearranged the lookup of the comparison operators
needed in a hashed subplan, and in so doing, broke the cross-type
case: it caused the original LHS-vs-RHS operator to be used to compare
hash table entries too (which of course are all of the RHS type).
This leads to C functions being passed a Datum that is not of the
type they expect, with the usual hazards of crashes and unauthorized
server memory disclosure.
For the set of hashable cross-type operators present in v11 core
Postgres, this bug is nearly harmless on 64-bit machines, which
may explain why it escaped earlier detection. But it is a live
security hazard on 32-bit machines; and of course there may be
extensions that add more hashable cross-type operators, which
would increase the risk.

src/test/kerberos and src/test/ldap need to run a private authentication
server of the relevant type, for which they need a free TCP port.
They were just picking a random port number in 48K-64K, which works
except when something's already using the particular port. Notably,
the probability of failure rises dramatically if one simply runs those
tests in a tight loop, because each test cycle leaves behind a bunch of
high ports that are transiently in TIME_WAIT state.
To fix, split out the code that PostgresNode.pm already had for
identifying a free TCP port number, so that it can be invoked to choose
a port for the KDC or LDAP server. This isn't 100% bulletproof, since
conceivably something else on the machine could grab the port between
the time we check and the time we actually start the server. But that's
a pretty short window, so in practice this should be good enough.

When querying a partitioned table containing a default partition, we
were wrongly deciding to include it in the scan too early in the
process, failing to exclude it in some cases. If we reinterpret the
PruneStepResult.scan_default flag slightly, we can do a better job at
detecting that it can be excluded. The change is that we avoid setting
the flag for that pruning step unless the step absolutely requires the
default partition to be scanned (in contrast with the previous
arrangement, which was to set it unless the step was able to prune it).
So get_matching_partitions() must explicitly check the partition that
each returned bound value corresponds to in order to determine whether
the default one needs to be included, rather than relying on the flag
from the final step result.

When performing ANALYZE on inheritance trees, we collect two samples for
each relation - one for the relation alone, and one for the inheritance
subtree (relation and its child relations). And then we build statistics
on each sample, so for each relation we get two sets of statistics.
For regular (per-column) statistics this works fine, because the catalog
includes a flag differentiating statistics built from those two samples.
But we don't have such flag in the extended statistics catalogs, and we
ended up updating the same row twice, triggering this error:
ERROR: tuple already updated by self
The simplest solution is to disable extended statistics on inheritance
trees, which is what this commit is doing. In the future we may need to
do something similar to per-column statistics, but that requires adding a
flag to the catalog - and that's not backpatchable. Moreover, the current
selectivity estimation code only works with individual relations, so
building statistics on inheritance trees would be pointless anyway.

If the user creates a deferred constraint in a partition, and in a
transaction they cause the constraint's trigger execution to be deferred
until commit time *and* drop the constraint, then when commit time comes
the queued trigger will fail to run because the trigger object will have
been dropped.
This is explained because when a constraint gets dropped in a
partitioned table, the recursion to drop the ones in partitions is done
by the dependency mechanism, not by ALTER TABLE traversing the recursion
tree as in all other cases. In the non-partitioned case, this problem
is avoided by checking that the table is not "in use" by alter-table;
other alter-table subcommands that recurse to partitions do that check
for each partition. But the dependency mechanism doesn't have a way to
do that. Fix the problem by applying the same check to all partitions
during ALTER TABLE's "prep" phase, which correctly raises the necessary
error.

The logic in ATExecDropColumn that rejects dropping partition key
columns is quite an inadequate defense, because it doesn't execute
in cases where a column needs to be dropped due to cascade from
something that only the column, not the whole partitioned table,
depends on. That leaves us with a badly broken partitioned table;
even an attempt to load its relcache entry will fail.
We really need to have explicit pg_depend entries that show that the
column can't be dropped without dropping the whole table. Hence,
add those entries. In v12 and HEAD, bump catversion to ensure that
partitioned tables will have such entries. We can't do that in
released branches of course, so in v10 and v11 this patch affords
protection only to partitioned tables created after the patch is
installed. Given the lack of field complaints (this bug was found
by fuzz-testing not by end users), that's probably good enough.

match_clause_to_partition_key incorrectly would return
PARTCLAUSE_UNSUPPORTED if a bool qual could not be matched to the current
partition key. This was a problem, as it causes the calling function to
discard the qual and not try to match it to any other partition key. If
there was another partition key which did match this qual, then the qual
would not be checked again and we could fail to prune some partitions.
The worst this could do was to cause partitions not to be pruned when they
could have been, so there was no danger of incorrect query results here.
Fix this by changing match_boolean_partition_clause to have it return a
PartClauseMatchStatus rather than a boolean value. This allows it to
communicate if the qual is unsupported or if it just does not match this
particular partition key, previously these two cases were treated the
same. Now, if match_clause_to_partition_key is unable to match the qual
to any other qual type then we can simply return the value from the
match_boolean_partition_clause call so that the calling function properly
treats the qual as either unmatched or unsupported.

However, the logic failed to consider inheritance parent relations. These

This patch reverts all the code changes of commit e76de8861, which turns

the data type change for any column it depends on, else ruleutils.c will
deliverr wrong/misleading results. (This fine point was documented
nowhere, of course.)
I'd also managed to forget that ATExecAlterColumnType executes once per
ALTER COLUMN TYPE clause, not once per statement; which resulted in the
code being basically completely broken for any case in which multiple ALTER
COLUMN TYPE clauses are applied to a table having non-constraint indexes
that must be rebuilt. Through very bad luck, none of the existing test
cases nor the ones added by e76de8861 caught that, but of course it was
soon found in the field.
The previous patch also had an implicit assumption that if a constraint's
index had a dependency on a table column, so would the constraint --- but
that isn't actually true, so it didn't fix such cases.
Instead of trying to delete unneeded index dependencies later, do the
is-there-a-constraint lookup immediately on seeing an index dependency,
and switch to remembering the constraint if so. In the unusual case of
multiple column dependencies for a constraint index, this will result in
duplicate constraint lookups, but that's not that horrible compared to all
the other work that happens here. Besides, such cases did not work at all
before, so it's hard to argue that they're performance-critical for anyone.

This puts back reverted commit de87a084c0, with some bug fixes.
When two (or more) transactions are waiting for transaction T1 to release a
tuple-level lock, and transaction T1 upgrades its lock to a higher level, a
spurious deadlock can be reported among the waiting transactions when T1
finishes. The simplest example case seems to be:
T1: select id from job where name = 'a' for key share;
Y: select id from job where name = 'a' for update; -- starts waiting for T1
Z: select id from job where name = 'a' for key share;
T1: update job set name = 'b' where id = 1;
Z: update job set name = 'c' where id = 1; -- starts waiting for T1
T1: rollback;
At this point, transaction Y is rolled back on account of a deadlock: Y
holds the heavyweight tuple lock and is waiting for the Xmax to be released,
while Z holds part of the multixact and tries to acquire the heavyweight
lock (per protocol) and goes to sleep; once T1 releases its part of the
multixact, Z is awakened only to be put back to sleep on the heavyweight
lock that Y is holding while sleeping. Kaboom.
This can be avoided by having Z skip the heavyweight lock acquisition. As
far as I can see, the biggest downside is that if there are multiple Z
transactions, the order in which they resume after T1 finishes is not
guaranteed.

ATExecAlterColumnType failed to consider the possibility that an index
that needs to be rebuilt might be a child of a constraint that needs to be
rebuilt. We missed this so far because usually a constraint index doesn't
have a direct dependency on its table, just on the constraint object.
But if there's a WHERE clause, then dependency analysis of the WHERE
clause results in direct dependencies on the column(s) mentioned in WHERE.
This led to trying to drop and rebuild both the constraint and its
underlying index.
In v11/HEAD, we successfully drop both the index and the constraint,
and then try to rebuild both, and of course the second rebuild hits a
duplicate-index-name problem. Before v11, it fails with obscure messages
about a missing relation OID, due to trying to drop the index twice.
This is essentially the same kind of problem noted in commit
20bef2c31: the possible dependency linkages are broader than what
ATExecAlterColumnType was designed for. It was probably OK when
written, but it's certainly been broken since the introduction of
partial exclusion constraints. Fix by adding an explicit check
for whether any of the indexes-to-be-rebuilt belong to any of the
constraints-to-be-rebuilt, and ignoring any that do.
In passing, fix a latent bug introduced by commit 8b08f7d48: in
get_constraint_index() we must "continue" not "break" when rejecting
a relation of a wrong relkind. This is harmless today because we don't
expect that code path to be taken anyway; but if there ever were any
relations to be ignored, the existing coding would have an extremely
undesirable dependency on the order of pg_depend entries.

For partial aggregation combine steps,
AggStatePerTrans->numTransInputs was set to the transition function's
number of inputs, rather than the combine function's number of
inputs (always 1).
That lead to partial aggregates with strict combine functions to
wrongly check for NOT NULL input as required by strictness. When the
aggregate wasn't exactly passed one argument, the strictness check was
either omitted (in the 0 args case) or too many arguments were
checked. In the latter case we'd read beyond the end of
FunctionCallInfoData->args (only in master).
AggStatePerTrans->numTransInputs actually has been wrong since since
9.6, where partial aggregates were added. But it turns out to not be
an active problem in 9.6 and 10, because numTransInputs wasn't used at
all for combine functions: Before c253b722f6 there simply was no NULL
check for the input to strict trans functions, and after that the
check was simply hardcoded for the right offset in fcinfo, as it's
done by code specific to combine functions.
In bf6c614a2f (11) the strictness check was generalized, with common
code doing the strictness checks for both plain and combine transition
functions, based on numTransInputs. For combine functions this lead to
not emitting an expression step to check for strict input in the 0
arguments case, and in the > 1 arguments case, we'd check too many
arguments.Due to the fact that the relevant fcinfo->isnull[2..] was
always zero-initialized (more or less by accident, by being part of
the AggStatePerTrans struct, which is palloc0'ed), there was no
observable damage in the latter case before a9c35cf85c, we just
checked too many array elements.
Due to the changes in a9c35cf85c, > 1 argument bug became visible,
because these days fcinfo is a) dynamically allocated without being
zeroed b) exactly the length required for the number of specified
arguments (hardcoded to 2 in this case).
This commit only contains a fairly minimal fix, setting numTransInputs
to a hardcoded 1 when building a pertrans for a combine function. It
seems likely that we'll want to clean this up further (e.g. the
arguments build_pertrans_for_aggref() aren't particularly meaningful
for combine functions). But the wrap date for 12 beta1 is coming up
fast, so it seems good to have a minimal fix in place.
Backpatch to 11. While AggStatePerTrans->numTransInputs was set
wrongly before that, the value was not used for combine functions.

When this suite runs installcheck, redirect file creations from
src/test/regress to src/bin/pg_upgrade/tmp_check/regress. This closes a
race condition in "make -j check-world". If the pg_upgrade suite wrote
to a given src/test/regress/results file in parallel with the regular
src/test/regress invocation writing it, a test failed spuriously. Even
without parallelism, in "make -k check-world", the suite finishing
second overwrote the other's regression.diffs. This revealed test
"largeobject" assuming @abs_builddir@ is getcwd(), so fix that, too.
Buildfarm client REL_10, released forty-five days ago, supports saving
regression.diffs from its new location. When an older client reports a
pg_upgradeCheck failure, it will no longer include regression.diffs.
Back-patch to 9.5, where pg_upgrade moved to src/bin.

Previously, gen_partprune_steps() always built executor pruning steps
using all suitable clauses, including those containing PARAM_EXEC
Params. This meant that the pruning steps were only completely safe
for executor run-time (scan start) pruning. To prune at executor
startup, we had to ignore the steps involving exec Params. But this
doesn't really work in general, since there may be logic changes
needed as well --- for example, pruning according to the last operator's
btree strategy is the wrong thing if we're not applying that operator.
The rules embodied in gen_partprune_steps() and its minions are
sufficiently complicated that tracking their incremental effects in
other logic seems quite impractical.
Short of a complete redesign, the only safe fix seems to be to run
gen_partprune_steps() twice, once to create executor startup pruning
steps and then again for run-time pruning steps. We can save a few
cycles however by noting during the first scan whether we rejected
any clauses because they involved exec Params --- if not, we don't
need to do the second scan.
In support of this, refactor the internal APIs in partprune.c to make
more use of passing information in the GeneratePruningStepsContext
struct, rather than as separate arguments.
This is, I hope, the last piece of our response to a bug report from
Alan Jackson. Back-patch to v11 where this code came in.

Cross-type comparison operators in a btree or hash opclass might be
only stable not immutable (this is true of timestamp vs. timestamptz
for example). partprune.c ignored this possibility and would perform
plan-time pruning with them anyway, possibly leading to wrong answers
if the environment changed between planning and execution.
To fix, teach gen_partprune_steps() to do things differently when
creating plan-time pruning steps vs. run-time pruning steps.
analyze_partkey_exprs() also needs an extra check, which is rather
annoying but now is not the time to restructure things enough to
avoid that.
While at it, simplify the logic for the plan-time case a little
by insisting that the comparison value be a Const and nothing else.
This relies on the assumption that eval_const_expressions will have
reduced any immutable expression to a Const; which is not quite
100% true, but certainly any case that comes up often enough to be
interesting should have simplification logic there.
Also improve a bunch of inadequate/obsolete/wrong comments.

Backpatch: 9.5-
A bounded quantifier with m = n = 1 might be thought a no-op. But
according to our documentation (which traces back to Henry Spencer's
original man page) it still imposes greediness, or non-greediness in the
case of the non-greedy variant "{1,1}?", on whatever it's attached to.
This turns out not to work though, because parseqatom() optimizes away
the m = n = 1 case without regard for whether it's supposed to change
the greediness of the argument RE.
We can fix this by just not applying the optimization when the greediness
needs to change; the subsequent general cases handle it fine.
The three cases in which we can still apply the optimization are
(a) no quantifier, or quantifier does not impose a preference;
(b) atom has no greediness property, implying it cannot match a
variable amount of text anyway; or
(c) quantifier's greediness is same as atom's.
Note that in most cases where one of these applies, we'd have exited
earlier in the "not a messy case" fast path. I think it's now only
possible to get to the optimization when the atom involves capturing
parentheses or a non-top-level backref.
Back-patch to all supported branches. I'd ordinarily be hesitant to
put a subtle behavioral change into back branches, but in this case
it's very hard to see a reason why somebody would write "{1,1}?" unless
they're trying to get the documented change-of-greediness behavior.

create_merge_append_plan failed to honor the CP_EXACT_TLIST flag:
it would generate the expected targetlist but then it felt free to
add resjunk sort targets to it. This demonstrably leads to assertion
failures in v11 and HEAD, and it's probably just accidental that we
don't see the same in older branches. I've not looked into whether
there would be any real-world consequences in non-assert builds.
In HEAD, create_append_plan has sprouted the same problem, so fix
that too (although we do not have any test cases that seem able to
reach that bug). This is an oversight in commit 3fc6e2d7f which
invented the CP_EXACT_TLIST flag, so back-patch to 9.6 where that
came in.
convert_subquery_pathkeys would create pathkeys for subquery output
values if they match any EquivalenceClass known in the outer query
and are available in the subquery's syntactic targetlist. However,
the second part of that condition is wrong, because such values might
not appear in the subquery relation's reltarget list, which would
mean that they couldn't be accessed above the level of the subquery
scan. We must check that they appear in the reltarget list, instead.
This can lead to dropping knowledge about the subquery's sort
ordering, but I believe it's okay, because any sort key that the
outer query actually has any interest in would appear in the
reltarget list.
This second issue is of very long standing, but right now there's no
evidence that it causes observable problems before 9.6, so I refrained
from back-patching further than that. We can revisit that choice if
somebody finds a way to make it cause problems in older branches.
(Developing useful test cases for these issues is really problematic;
fixing convert_subquery_pathkeys removes the only known way to exhibit
the create_merge_append_plan bug, and neither of the test cases added
by this patch causes a problem in all branches, even when considering
the issues separately.)
The second issue explains bug #15795 from Suresh Kumar R ("could not
find pathkey item to sort" with nested DISTINCT queries). I stumbled
across the first issue while investigating that.

Security: CVE-2019-10129
In examine_variable() and examine_simple_variable(), when checking the
user's table and column privileges to determine whether to grant
access to the pg_statistic data, use checkAsUser for the privilege
checks, if it's set. This will be the case if we're accessing the
table via a view, to indicate that we should perform privilege checks
as the view owner rather than the current user.
This change makes this planner check consistent with the check in the
executor, so the planner will be able to make use of statistics if the
table is accessible via the view. This fixes a performance regression
introduced by commit e2d4ef8de8, which affects queries against
non-security barrier views in the case where the user doesn't have
privileges on the underlying table, but the view owner does.
Note that it continues to provide the same safeguards controlling
access to pg_statistic for direct table access (in which case
checkAsUser won't be set) and for security barrier views, because of
the nearby checks on rte->security_barrier and rte->securityQuals.
Back-patch to all supported branches because e2d4ef8de8 was.
Dean Rasheed, reviewed by Jonathan Katz and Stephen Frost.
In commit e2d4ef8de8, security checks were added to prevent
user-supplied operators from running over data from pg_statistic
unless the user has table or column privileges on the table, or the
operator is leakproof. For a table with RLS, however, checking for
table or column privileges is insufficient, since that does not
guarantee that the user has permission to view all of the column's
data.
Fix this by also checking for securityQuals on the RTE, and insisting
that the operator be leakproof if there are any. Thus the
leakproofness check will only be skipped if there are no securityQuals
and the user has table or column privileges on the table -- i.e., only
if we know that the user has access to all the data in the column.
Back-patch to 9.5 where RLS was added.

As the test currently causes occasional deadlocks (due to the schema
cleanup from previous sessions potentially still running), and the
patch from f912d7dec2 has gotten a fair bit of buildfarm coverage,
remove the test from the test schedules. There's a set of minor
releases coming up.
Leave the tests in place, so it can manually be run using EXTRA_TESTS.
For now also leave it in master, as there's no imminent release, and
there's plenty (re-)index related work in 12. But we'll have to
disable it before long there too, unless somebody comes up with simple
enough fixes for the deadlock (I'm about to post a vague idea to the
list).

Backpatch: 9.4-11 (no master!)
The tests turn out to cause deadlocks in some circumstances. Fairly
reproducibly so with -DRELCACHE_FORCE_RELEASE
-DCATCACHE_FORCE_RELEASE. Some of the deadlocks may be hard to fix
without disproportionate measures, but others probably should be fixed
- but not in 12.
We discussed removing the new tests until we can fix the issues
underlying the deadlocks, but results from buildfarm animal
markhor (which runs with CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS) indicates that there
might be a more severe, as of yet undiagnosed, issue (including on
stable branches) with reindexing catalogs. The failure is:
ERROR: could not read block 0 in file "base/16384/28025": read only 0 of 8192 bytes
Therefore it seems advisable to keep the tests.
It's not certain that running the tests in isolation removes the risk
of deadlocks. It's possible that additional locks are needed to
protect against a concurrent auto-analyze or such.

The interaction of these parameters was a bit confused/confusing,
and in fact v11 entirely misses the opportunity to apply partition
constraints when a partition is accessed directly (rather than
indirectly from its parent).
In HEAD, establish the principle that enable_partition_pruning controls
partition pruning and nothing else. When accessing a partition via its
parent, we do partition pruning (if enabled by enable_partition_pruning)
and then there is no need to consider partition constraints in the
constraint_exclusion logic. When accessing a partition directly, its
partition constraints are applied by the constraint_exclusion logic,
only if constraint_exclusion = on.
In v11, we can't have such a clean division of these GUCs' effects,
partly because we don't want to break compatibility too much in a
released branch, and partly because the clean coding requires
inheritance_planner to have applied partition pruning to a partitioned
target table, which it doesn't in v11. However, we can tweak things
enough to cover the missed case, which seems like a good idea since
it's potentially a performance regression from v10. This patch keeps
v11's previous behavior in which enable_partition_pruning overrides
constraint_exclusion for an inherited target table, though.
In HEAD, also teach relation_excluded_by_constraints that it's okay to use
inheritable constraints when trying to prune a traditional inheritance
tree. This might not be thought worthy of effort given that that feature
is semi-deprecated now, but we have enough infrastructure that it only
takes a couple more lines of code to do it correctly.
