== Angewandte Patches ==

Heikki Linnakangas pushed:

- Before exiting walreceiver, fsync() all the WAL received. Otherwise
WAL recovery will replay the un-flushed WAL after walreceiver has
exited, which can lead to a non-recoverable standby if the system
crashes hard at that point.

Alvaro Herrera pushed:

- Increment Py_None refcount for NULL array elements. Per bug #5835

45bece6ce3df55599ee971a4a5dc217bf34c

Tom Lane pushed:

- Fix miscalculation of itemsafter in array_set_slice(). If the slice
to be assigned to was before the existing array lower bound
(requiring at least one null element to spring into existence to
fill the gap), the code miscalculated how many entries needed to be
copied from the old array's null bitmap. This could result in
trashing the array's data area (as seen in bug #5840 from Karsten
Loesing), or worse. This has been broken since we first allowed the
behavior of assigning to non-adjacent slices, in 8.2. Back-patch to
all affected versions.

ed973da9ab48aba2292b01f71d2f9968b82c

- Avoid detoast in texteq/textne/byteaeq/byteane for unequal-length
strings. We can get the length of a compressed or out-of-line datum
without actually detoasting it. If the lengths of two strings are
unequal, we can then conclude they are unequal without detoasting.
That saves considerable work in an admittedly less-common case,
without costing anything much when the optimization doesn't apply.

aea82e93712937cd109b48ce006789ec7a8f

- Fix pg_restore to do the right thing when escaping large objects.
Specifically, this makes the workflow pg_dump -Fc -> pg_restore ->
file produce correct output for BLOBs when the source database has
standard_conforming_strings turned on. It was already okay when
that was off, or if pg_restore was told to restore directly into a
database. This is a back-port of commit
b1732111f233bbb72788e92a627242ec28a85631 of 2009-08-04, with
additional changes to emit old-style escaped bytea data instead of
hex-style. At the time, we had not heard of anyone encountering the
problem in the field, so I judged it not worth the risk of changing
back branches. Now we do have a report, from Bosco Rama, so
back-patch into 8.2 through 8.4. 9.0 and up are okay already.

- Clean up pg_test_fsync commit. Actually rename the program, rather
than just claiming we did. Hook it into the build system. Get rid
of useless dependency on libpq. Clean up #include list and messy
whitespace.

making the HAVE_FSYNC_WRITETHROUGH code match the backend. Fix
incorrect program help message. static-ize all functions.

8ce8c437811bba47c09d1212c2d3c41cb7ff

- More pg_test_fsync fixups. Reduce #includes to minimum actually
needed; in particular include postgres_fe.h not postgres.h, so as to
stop build failures on some platforms. Use get_progname() instead
of hardwired program name; improve error checking for command line
syntax; bring error messages into line with style guidelines;
include strerror result in die() cases.

2cd4ad4c3323f1c7ed1c893c9d645fbaeb1a

- Suppress possibly-uninitialized-variable warnings from gcc 4.5. It
appears that gcc 4.5 can issue such warnings for whole structs, not
just scalar variables as in the past. Refactor some pg_dump code
slightly so that the OutputContext local variables are always
initialized, even if they won't be used. It's cheap enough to not
be worth worrying about.

7258c3cc43b8b00c5c29c35933a33259e718

- Suppress "control reaches end of non-void function" warning from gcc
4.5. Not sure why I'm seeing this on Fedora 14 and not earlier
versions. Seems like a regression that gcc no longer knows that
DIE() doesn't return. Still, adding a dummy return is harmless
enough.

1e96c02ba0fa52227c528d6e951004d0653f

- Allow the wal_buffers setting to be auto-tuned to a reasonable
value. If wal_buffers is initially set to -1 (which is now the
default), it's replaced by 1/32nd of shared_buffers, with a minimum
of 8 (the old default) and a maximum of the XLOG segment size. The
allowed range for manual settings is still from 4 up to whatever
will fit in shared memory. Greg Smith, with implementation
correction by me.

- Quick hack to un-break plpython regression tests. It's not clear to
me what should happen to the other plpython_unicode variant expected
files, but this patch gets things passing on my own machines and at
least some of the buildfarm.

- Revert "Factor out functions responsible for caching I/O routines".
This reverts commit 740e54ca84c437fd67524f97a3ea9ddea752e208, which
seems to have tickled an optimization bug in gcc 4.5.x, as reported
upstream at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3D671899 Since
this patch had no purpose beyond code beautification, it's not worth
expending a lot of effort to look for another workaround.

2d6e928b0f7fb2840914351b96fecce2a30d

- Improve getObjectDescription's display of pg_amop and pg_amproc
entries. Include the lefttype/righttype columns explicitly (instead
of assuming the reader can deduce them from the operator or function
description), and move the operator or function description to the
end of the string, to make it clearer that it's a referenced object
and not the amop or amproc item itself. Per extensive discussion of
Andreas Karlsson's original patch. Andreas Karlsson, Tom Lane

0db96ba68553e3ab2c1d9d117863a5637c67

- Fix another portability issue in pg_basebackup. The target of
sscanf with a %o format had better be of integer width, but "mode_t"
conceivably isn't that. Another compiler warning seen only on some
platforms; this one I think is potentially a real bug and not just a
warning.

Peter Eisentraut pushed:

- Use HTABs instead of Python dictionary objects to cache procedures
Two separate hash tables are used for regular procedures and for
trigger procedures, since the way trigger procedures work is quite
different from normal stored procedures. Change the signatures of
PLy_procedure_{get,create} to accept the function OID and a Boolean
flag indicating whether it's a trigger. This should make
implementing a PL/Python validator easier. Using HTABs instead of
Python dictionaries makes error recovery easier, and allows for
procedures to be cached based on their OIDs, not their names. It
also allows getting rid of the PyCObject field that used to hold a
pointer to PLyProcedure, since PyCObjects are deprecated in Python
2.7 and replaced by Capsules in Python 3. Jan Urbański

- Skip dropped attributes when converting Python objects to tuples.
Pay attention to the attisdropped field and skip over TupleDesc
fields that have it set. Not a real problem until we get table
returning functions, but it's the right thing to do anyway. Jan
Urbański.

- Use palloc in TopMemoryContext instead of malloc. As discussed,
even if the PL needs a permanent memory location, it should use
palloc, not malloc. It also makes error handling easier. Jan
Urbański.

- Fix an error when a set-returning function fails halfway through the
execution. If the function using yield to return rows fails
halfway, the iterator stays open and subsequent calls to the
function will resume reading from it. The fix is to unref the
iterator and set it to NULL if there has been an error. Jan
Urbański.

- Correctly add exceptions to the plpy module for Python 3. The way
the exception types where added to the module was wrong for Python
3. Exception classes were not actually available from plpy. Fix
that by factoring out code that is responsible for defining new
Python exceptions and make it work with Python 3. New regression
test makes sure the plpy module has the expected contents. Jan
Urbanśki, slightly revised by me.

caf3645ae975724af1f7f57f831e516cf220

- Get rid of the global variable holding the error state. Global
error handling led to confusion and was hard to manage. With this
change, errors from PostgreSQL are immediately reported to Python as
exceptions. This requires setting a Python exception after
reporting the caught PostgreSQL error as a warning, because PLy_elog
destroys the Python exception state. Ideally, all places where
PostgreSQL errors need to be reported back to Python should be
wrapped in subtransactions, to make going back to Python from a
longjmp safe. This will be handled in a separate patch. Jan
Urbański.

- Add pg_basebackup tool for streaming base backups. This tool makes
it possible to do the pg_start_backup/ copy files/pg_stop_backup
step in a single command. There are still some steps to be done
before this is a complete backup solution, such as the ability to
stream the required WAL logs, but it's still usable, and could do
with some buildfarm coverage. In passing, make the checkpoint
request optionally fast instead of hardcoding it. Magnus Hagander,

- Add new psql command \dL to list languages. Original patch by
Fernando Ike, revived by Josh Kuperschmidt, reviewed by Andreas
Karlsson, and in earlier versions by Tom Lane and Peter Eisentraut.

- Make ALTER TABLE revalidate uniqueness and exclusion constraints.
Failure to do so can lead to constraint violations. This was broken
by commit 1ddc2703a936d03953657f43345460b9242bbed1 on 2010-02-07, so
back-patch to 9.0. Noah Misch. Regression test by me.

- Emphasize where OVER needs to be when using a window function. Jeff
Turner.

- Code cleanup for assign_XactIsoLevel. The new coding avoids a
spurious debug message when a transaction that has changed the
isolation level has been rolled back. It also allows the property
to be freely changed to the current value within a subtransaction.
Kevin Grittner, with one small change by me.

- Avoid treating WAL senders as normal backends. The previous coding
treated anything that wasn't an autovacuum launcher as a normal
backend, which is wrong now that we also have WAL senders. Fujii
Masao, reviewed by Robert Haas, Alvaro Herrera, Tom Lane, and Bernd
Helmle.

5f55394fe904e09f7caee9a8195e3a09c801

- Code cleanup for assign_transaction_read_only. As in commit
fb4c5d2798730f60b102d775f22fb53c26a6445d on 2011-01-21, this avoids
spurious debug messages and allows idempotent changes at any time.
Along the way, make assign_XactIsoLevel allow idempotent changes
even when not within a subtransaction, to be consistent with the new
coding of assign_transaction_read_only and because there's no
compelling reason to do otherwise. Kevin Grittner, with some
adjustments.

- sepgsql, an SE-Linux integration for PostgreSQL. This is still
pretty rough - among other things, the documentation needs work, and
the messages need a visit from the style police - but this gets the
basic framework in place. KaiGai Kohei.
