In general, Postgres requires -fno-strict-aliasing with compilers that
implement C99 strict aliasing rules. There's little hope of getting
rid of that overall. But it seems like it would be a good idea if
storage/checksum_impl.h in particular didn't depend on it, because
that header is explicitly intended to be included by external programs.
We don't have a lot of control over the compiler switches that an
external program might use, as shown by Michael Banck's report of
failure in a privately-modified version of pg_verify_checksums.
Hence, switch to using a union in place of willy-nilly pointer casting
inside this file. I think this makes the code a bit more readable
anyway.
checksum_impl.h hasn't changed since it was introduced in 9.3,
so back-patch all the way.

When a postmaster gets into its phase PM_STARTUP, it would start
background workers using BgWorkerStart_PostmasterStart mode immediately,
which would cause problems for a fast shutdown as the postmaster forgets
to send SIGTERM to already-started background workers. With smart and
immediate shutdowns, this correctly happened, and fast shutdown is the
only mode missing the shot.

Since the same oversight seems likely in future, let's reverse the

regexp_matches, regexp_split_to_table and regexp_split_to_array all
work by compiling a list of match positions as character offsets (NOT
byte positions) in the source string.
Formerly, they then used text_substr to extract the matched text; but
in a multi-byte encoding, that counts the characters in the string,
and the characters needed to reach the starting byte position, on
every call. Accordingly, the performance degraded as the product of
the input string length and the number of match positions, such that
splitting a string of a few hundred kbytes could take many minutes.
Repair by keeping the wide-character copy of the input string
available (only in the case where encoding_max_length is not 1) after
performing the match operation, and extracting substrings from that
instead. This reduces the complexity to being linear in the number of
result bytes, discounting the actual regexp match itself (which is not
affected by this patch).
In passing, remove cleanup using retail pfree() which was obsoleted by

The archive should show a dependency on the item's table, but it failed

emitting ALTER TABLE ... ENABLE ROW LEVEL SECURITY before restoring

The previous coding figured it'd be good enough to postpone opening
the first CSV log file until we got a message we needed to write there.
This is unsafe, though, because if the open fails we end up in infinite
recursion trying to report the failure. Instead make the CSV log file
management code look as nearly as possible like the longstanding logic
for the stderr log file. In particular, open it immediately at postmaster
startup (if enabled), or when we get a SIGHUP in which we find that
log_destination has been changed to enable CSV logging.
It seems OK to fail if a postmaster-start-time open attempt fails, as
we've long done for the stderr log file. But we can't die if we fail
to open a CSV log file during SIGHUP, so we're still left with a problem.
In that case, write any output meant for the CSV log file to the stderr
log file. (This will also cover race-condition cases in which backends
send CSV log data before or after we have the CSV log file open.)
This patch also fixes an ancient oversight that, if CSV logging was
turned off during a SIGHUP, we never actually closed the last CSV
log file.
In passing, remember to reset whereToSendOutput = DestNone during syslogger
start, since (unlike all other postmaster children) it's forked before the
postmaster has done that. This made for a platform-dependent difference
in error reporting behavior between the syslogger and other children:
except on Windows, it'd report problems to the original postmaster stderr
as well as the normal error log file(s). It's barely possible that that
was intentional at some point; but it doesn't seem likely to be desirable
in production, and the platform dependency definitely isn't desirable.
Per report from Alexander Kukushkin. It's been like this for a long time,

Commits c6b3c939b (which fixed the precedence of >=, <=, <> operators)
and 865f14a2d (which added support for the standard => notation for
named arguments) created a class of lexer tokens which look like
multi-character operators but which have their own token IDs distinct
from Op. However, longest-match rules meant that following any of
these tokens with another operator character, as in (1<>-1), would
cause them to be incorrectly returned as Op.
The error here isn't immediately obvious, because the parser would
usually still find the correct operator via the Op token, but there
were more subtle problems:
1. If immediately followed by a comment or +-, >= <= <> would be given
the old precedence of Op rather than the correct new precedence;
2. If followed by a comment, != would be returned as Op rather than as
NOT_EQUAL, causing it not to be found at all;
3. If followed by a comment or +-, the => token for named arguments
would be lexed as Op, causing the argument to be mis-parsed as a
simple expression, usually causing an error.
Fix by explicitly checking for the operators in the {operator} code
block in addition to all the existing special cases there.

Previously, this code blindly followed the common coding pattern of
passing PQserverVersion(AH->connection) as the server-version parameter
of fmtQualifiedId. That works as long as we have a connection; but in
pg_restore with text output, we don't. Instead we got a zero from
PQserverVersion, which fmtQualifiedId interpreted as "server is too old to
have schemas", and so the name went unqualified. That still accidentally
managed to work in many cases, which is probably why this ancient bug went
undetected for so long. It only became obvious in the wake of the changes
to force dump/restore to execute with restricted search_path.
In HEAD/v11, let's deal with this by ripping out fmtQualifiedId's server-
version behavioral dependency, and just making it schema-qualify all the
time. We no longer support pg_dump from servers old enough to need the
ability to omit schema name, let alone restoring to them. (Also, the few
callers outside pg_dump already didn't work with pre-schema servers.)
In older branches, that's not an acceptable solution, so instead just
tweak the DISABLE/ENABLE TRIGGER logic to ensure it will schema-qualify
its output regardless of server version.

C99 says that the result should be the number of bytes that would have
been emitted given a large enough buffer, not the number we actually
were able to put in the buffer. It's time to make our substitute
implementation comply with that. Not doing so results in inefficiency
in buffer-enlargement cases, and also poses a portability hazard for
third-party code that might expect C99-compliant snprintf behavior
within Postgres.
In passing, remove useless tests for str == NULL; neither C99 nor
predecessor standards ever allowed that except when count == 0,
so I see no reason to expend cycles on making that a non-crash case
for this implementation. Also, don't waste a byte in pg_vfprintf's
local I/O buffer; this might have performance benefits by allowing
aligned writes during flushbuffer calls.
Back-patch of commit 805889d7d. There was some concern about this
possibly breaking code that assumes pre-C99 behavior, but there is
much more risk (and reality, in our own code) of code that assumes
C99 behavior and hence fails to detect buffer overrun without this.

We aren't very strict about keeping FSM up to date on WAL replay,
because per-page freespace values aren't critical in replicas (can't
write to heap in a replica; and if the replica is promoted, the values
would be updated by VACUUM anyway). However, VACUUM since 9.6 can skip
processing pages marked all-visible or all-frozen, and if such pages are
recorded in FSM with wrong values, those values are blindly propagated
to FSM's upper layers by VACUUM's FreeSpaceMapVacuum. (This rationale
assumes that crashes are not very frequent, because those would cause
outdated FSM to occur in the primary.)
Even when the FSM is outdated in standby, things are not too bad
normally, because, most per-page FSM values will be zero (other than
those propagated with the base-backup that created the standby); only
once the remaining free space is less than 0.2*BLCKSZ the per-page value
is maintained by WAL replay of heap ins/upd/del. However, if
wal_log_hints=on causes complete FSM pages to be propagated to a standby
via full-page images, many too-optimistic per-page values can end up
being registered in the standby.
Incorrect per-page values aren't critical in most cases, since an
inserter that is given a page that doesn't actually contain the claimed
free space will update FSM with the correct value, and retry until it
finds a usable page. However, if there are many such updates to do, an
inserter can spend a long time doing them before a usable page is found;
in a heavily trafficked insert-only table with many concurrent inserters
this has been observed to cause several second stalls, causing visible
application malfunction.
To fix this problem, it seems sufficient to have heap_xlog_visible
(replay of setting all-visible and all-frozen VM bits for a heap page)
update the FSM value for the page being processed. This fixes the
per-page counters together with making the page skippable to vacuum, so
when vacuum does FreeSpaceMapVacuum, the values propagated to FSM upper
layers are the correct ones, avoiding the problem.
While at it, apply the same fix to heap_xlog_clean (replay of tuple
removal by HOT pruning and vacuum). This makes any space freed by the
cleaning available earlier than the next vacuum in the promoted replica.
Backpatch to 9.6, where this problem was diagnosed on an insert-only
table with all-frozen pages, which were introduced as a concept in that
release. Theoretically it could apply with all-visible pages to older
branches, but there's been no report of that and it doesn't backpatch
cleanly anyway.

Fix a small number of places that were testing the result of snprintf()
but doing so incorrectly. The right test for buffer overrun, per C99,
is "result >= bufsize" not "result > bufsize". Some places were also
checking for failure with "result == -1", but the standard only says
that a negative value is delivered on failure.
(Note that this only makes these places correct if snprintf() delivers
C99-compliant results. But at least now these places are consistent
with all the other places where we assume that.)
Also, make psql_start_test() and isolation_start_test() check for
buffer overrun while constructing their shell commands. There seems
like a higher risk of overrun, with more severe consequences, here
than there is for the individual file paths that are made elsewhere
in the same functions, so this seemed like a worthwhile change.
Also fix guc.c's do_serialize() to initialize errno = 0 before
calling vsnprintf. In principle, this should be unnecessary because
vsnprintf should have set errno if it returns a failure indication ...
but the other two places this coding pattern is cribbed from don't
assume that, so let's be consistent.
These errors are all very old, so back-patch as appropriate. I think
that only the shell command overrun cases are even theoretically
reachable in practice, but there's not much point in erroneous error
checks.

it didn't need to concern itself with the possibility that one object

The logic in PQconnectPoll() did not take care to ensure that all of
a PGconn's internal state variables were reset before trying a new
connection attempt. If we got far enough in the connection sequence
to have changed any of these variables, and then decided to try a new
server address or server name, the new connection might be completed
with some state that really only applied to the failed connection.
While this has assorted bad consequences, the only one that is clearly
a security issue is that password_needed didn't get reset, so that
if the first server asked for a password and the second didn't,
PQconnectionUsedPassword() would return an incorrect result. This
could be leveraged by unprivileged users of dblink or postgres_fdw
to allow them to use server-side login credentials that they should
not be able to use.
Other notable problems include the possibility of forcing a v2-protocol
connection to a server capable of supporting v3, or overriding
"sslmode=prefer" to cause a non-encrypted connection to a server that
would have accepted an encrypted one. Those are certainly bugs but
it's harder to paint them as security problems in themselves. However,
forcing a v2-protocol connection could result in libpq having a wrong
idea of the server's standard_conforming_strings setting, which opens
the door to SQL-injection attacks. The extent to which that's actually
a problem, given the prerequisite that the attacker needs control of
the client's connection parameters, is unclear.
These problems have existed for a long time, but became more easily
exploitable in v10, both because it introduced easy ways to force libpq
to abandon a connection attempt at a late stage and then try another one
(rather than just giving up), and because it provided an easy way to
specify multiple target hosts.
Fix by rearranging PQconnectPoll's state machine to provide centralized
places to reset state properly when moving to a new target host or when
dropping and retrying a connection to the same host.

Security: CVE-2018-10915
When expanding an updatable view that is an INSERT's target, the rewriter
failed to rewrite Vars in the ON CONFLICT UPDATE clause. This accidentally
worked if the view was just "SELECT * FROM ...", as the transformation
would be a no-op in that case. With more complicated view targetlists,
this omission would often lead to "attribute ... has the wrong type" errors
or even crashes, as reported by Mario De Frutos Dieguez.
Fix by adding code to rewriteTargetView to fix up the data structure
correctly. The easiest way to update the exclRelTlist list is to rebuild
it from scratch looking at the new target relation, so factor the code
for that out of transformOnConflictClause to make it sharable.
In passing, avoid duplicate permissions checks against the EXCLUDED
pseudo-relation, and prevent useless view expansion of that relation's
dummy RTE. The latter is only known to happen (after this patch) in cases
where the query would fail later due to not having any INSTEAD OF triggers
for the view. But by exactly that token, it would create an unintended
and very poorly tested state of the query data structure, so it seems like
a good idea to prevent it from happening at all.
This has been broken since ON CONFLICT was introduced, so back-patch

newly-entered catalog tuples for the index visible. inval.c must be

transactions abort, since there is a generic invalidation once we reach

The buffer usage stats is accounted only for the execution phase of the

the time of shutdown of workers which is done after execution of node due
to which we missed to account them for such nodes. Fix it by treating
nodes as running while we shut down them.
We can also miss accounting for a Limit node when Gather or Gather Merge
is beneath it, because it can finish the execution before shutting down
such nodes. So we allow a Limit node to shut down the resources before it
completes the execution.

Commits 742869946 et al turn out to be a couple bricks shy of a load.
We were dumping the stored values of GUC_LIST_QUOTE variables as they
appear in proconfig or setconfig catalog columns. However, although that
quoting rule looks a lot like SQL-identifier double quotes, there are two
critical differences: empty strings ("") are legal, and depending on which
variable you're considering, values longer than NAMEDATALEN might be valid
too. So the current technique fails altogether on empty-string list
entries (as reported by Steven Winfield in bug #15248) and it also risks
truncating file pathnames during dump/reload of GUC values that are lists
of pathnames.
To fix, split the stored value without any downcasing or truncation,
and then emit each element as a SQL string literal.
This is a tad annoying, because we now have three copies of the
comma-separated-string splitting logic in varlena.c as well as a fourth
one in dumputils.c. (Not to mention the randomly-different-from-those
splitting logic in libpq...) I looked at unifying these, but it would
be rather a mess unless we're willing to tweak the API definitions of
SplitIdentifierString, SplitDirectoriesString, or both. That might be
worth doing in future; but it seems pretty unsafe for a back-patched
bug fix, so for now accept the duplication.
Back-patch to all supported branches, as the previous fix was.

pg_dump knew about printing ALTER TABLE ... REPLICA IDENTITY USING INDEX
for indexes declared as indexes, but it failed to print that for indexes
declared as unique or primary-key constraints. Per report from Achilleas
Mantzios.
This has been broken since the feature was introduced, AFAICS.
Back-patch to 9.4.

As written, this policy constrained only the post-image not the pre-image
of rows, meaning that users could delete other users' rows or take
ownership of such rows, contrary to what the docs claimed would happen.
We need two separate policies to achieve the documented effect.
While at it, try to explain what's happening a bit more fully.
Per report from Олег Самойлов. Back-patch to 9.5 where this was added.
Thanks to Stephen Frost for off-list discussion.
