This patch providies for support for password protected SSL client
keys in libpq, and for DER format keys, both encrypted and unencrypted.
There is a new connection parameter sslpassword, which is supplied to
the OpenSSL libraries via a callback function. The callback function can
also be set by an application by calling PQgetSSLKeyPassHook(). There is
also a function to retreive the connection setting, PQsslpassword().

When using %b or %B patterns to format a date, the code was simply using
tm_mon as an index into array of month names. But that is wrong, because
tm_mon is 1-based, while array indexes are 0-based. The result is we
either use name of the next month, or a segfault (for December).
Fix by subtracting 1 from tm_mon for both patterns, and add a regression
test triggering the issue. Backpatch to all supported versions (the bug
is there far longer, since at least 2003).

This commit revert the commits to add a test case that tests the 'force'
option when there is an active backend connected to the database being
dropped.
This feature internally sends SIGTERM to all the backends connected to the
database being dropped and then the same is reported to the client. We
found that on Windows, the client end of the socket is not able to read
the data once we close the socket in the server which leads to loss of
error message which is not what we expect. We also observed similar
behavior in other cases like pg_terminate_backend(),
pg_ctl kill TERM <pid>. There are probably a few others like that. The
fix for this requires further study.

When picking the best extended statistics object for a list of clauses,
it's not enough to look at attnums extracted from the clause list as a
whole. Consider for example this query with OR clauses:
SELECT * FROM t WHERE (t.a = 1) OR (t.b = 1) OR (t.c = 1)
with a statistics defined on columns (a,b). Relying on attnums extracted
from the whole OR clause, we'd consider the statistics usable. That does
not work, as we see the conditions as a single OR-clause, referencing an
attribute not covered by the statistic, leading to empty list of clauses
to be estimated using the statistics and an assert failure.
This changes choose_best_statistics to check which clauses are actually
covered, and only using attributes from the fully covered ones. For the
previous example this means the statistics object will not be considered
as compatible with the OR-clause.
Backpatch to 12, where MCVs were introduced. The issue does not affect
older versions because functional dependencies don't handle OR clauses.

The fix for CVE-2017-7484 disallowed use of pg_statistic data for
planning purposes if the user would not be able to select the associated
column and a non-leakproof function is to be applied to the statistics
values. That turns out to disable use of pg_statistic data in some
common cases involving inheritance/partitioning, where the user does
have permission to select from the parent table that was actually named
in the query, but not from a child table whose stats are needed. Since,
in non-corner cases, the user *can* select the child table's data via
the parent, this restriction is not actually useful from a security
standpoint. Improve the logic so that we also check the permissions of
the originally-named table, and allow access if select permission exists
for that.
When checking access to stats for a simple child column, we can map
the child column number back to the parent, and perform this test
exactly (including not allowing access if the child column isn't
exposed by the parent). For expression indexes, the current logic
just insists on whole-table select access, and this patch allows
access if the user can select the whole parent table. In principle,
if the child table has extra columns, this might allow access to
stats on columns the user can't read. In practice, it's unlikely
that the planner is going to do any stats calculations involving
expressions that are not visible to the query, so we'll ignore that
fine point for now. Perhaps someday we'll improve that logic to
detect exactly which columns are used by an expression index ...
but today is not that day.
Back-patch to v11. The issue was created in 9.2 and up by the
CVE-2017-7484 fix, but this patch depends on the append_rel_array[]
planner data structure which only exists in v11 and up. In
practice the issue is most urgent with partitioned tables, so
fixing v11 and later should satisfy much of the practical need.

On some platforms, fsync() returns EBADFD when opening a file descriptor
with O_RDONLY (read-only), leading ultimately now to a PANIC to prevent
data corruption.
This commit adds a new sanity check in pg_fsync() based on fcntl() to
make sure that we don't repeat again mistakes with incorrectly-set file
descriptors so as problems are detected at an early stage. Without
that, such errors could only be detected after running Postgres on a
specific supported platform for the culprit code path, which could take
some time before being found. b8e19b93 was a fix for such a problem,
which got undetected for more than 5 years, and a586cc4b fixed another
similar issue.
Note that the new check added works as well when fsync=off is
configured, so as all regression tests would detect problems as long as
assertions are enabled. fcntl() being not available on Windows, the
new checks do not happen there.

XLogReader, walsender and pg_waldump all had their own routines to read
data from WAL files to memory, with slightly different approaches
according to the particular conditions of each environment. There's a
lot of commonality, so we can refactor that into a single routine
WALRead in XLogReader, and move the differences to a separate (simpler)
callback that just opens the next WAL-segment. This results in a
clearer (ahem) code flow.
The error reporting needs are covered by filling in a new error-info
struct, WALReadError, and it's the caller's responsibility to act on it.
The backend has WALReadRaiseError() to do so.

StdRdOptions due to an overlap with the default option set.
This saves a couple of bytes for rd_options in each relcache entry with

If LISTEN is the only action in a serializable-mode transaction,
and the session was not previously listening, and the notify queue
is not empty, predicate.c reported an assertion failure. That
happened because we'd acquire the transaction's initial snapshot
during PreCommit_Notify, which was called *after* predicate.c
expects any such snapshot to have been established.
To fix, just swap the order of the PreCommit_Notify and
PreCommit_CheckForSerializationFailure calls during CommitTransaction.
This will imply holding the notify-insertion lock slightly longer,
but the difference could only be meaningful in serializable mode,
which is an expensive option anyway.
It appears that this is just an assertion failure, with no
consequences in non-assert builds. A snapshot used only to scan
the notify queue could not have been involved in any serialization
conflicts, so there would be nothing for
PreCommit_CheckForSerializationFailure to do except assign it a
prepareSeqNo and set the SXACT_FLAG_PREPARED flag. And given no
conflicts, neither of those omissions affect the behavior of
ReleasePredicateLocks. This admittedly once-over-lightly analysis
is backed up by the lack of field reports of trouble.

This patch ensures that, if any notify messages were received during
a just-finished transaction, they get sent to the frontend just before
not just after the ReadyForQuery message. With libpq and other client
libraries that act similarly, this guarantees that the client will see
the notify messages as available as soon as it thinks the transaction
is done.
This probably makes no difference in practice, since in realistic
use-cases the application would have to cope with asynchronous
arrival of notify events anyhow. However, it makes it a lot easier
to build cross-session-notify test cases with stable behavior.
I'm a bit surprised now that we've not seen any buildfarm instability
with the test cases added by commit b10f40bf0. Tests that I intend
to add in an upcoming bug fix are definitely unstable without this.
Back-patch to 9.6, which is as far back as we can do NOTIFY testing
with the isolationtester infrastructure.
Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/13881.1574557302@sss.pgh.pa.us
This function wasn't touched in commit 51004c717, but that turns out
to be a bad idea, because its results now include any dead space
that exists in the NOTIFY queue on account of our being lazy about
advancing the queue tail. Notably, the isolation tests now fail
if run twice without a server restart between, because async-notify's
first test of the function will already show a positive value.
It seems likely that end users would be equally unhappy about the
result's instability. To fix, just make the function call
asyncQueueAdvanceTail before computing its result. That should end
in producing the same value as before, and it's hard to believe that
there's any practical use-case where pg_notification_queue_usage()
is called so often as to create a performance degradation, especially
compared to what we did before.
Out of paranoia, also mark this function parallel-restricted (it
was volatile, but parallel-safe by default, before). Although the
code seems to work fine when run in a parallel worker, that's outside
the design scope of async.c, and it's a bit scary to have intentional
side-effects happening in a parallel worker. There seems no plausible
use-case where it'd be important to try to parallelize this, so let's
not take any risk of introducing new bugs.
In passing, re-pgindent async.c and run reformat-dat-files on
pg_proc.dat, just because I'm a neatnik.

Up to now, whatever you'd edited was put back into the query buffer

improve that just by printing the text along with a prompt, if we
enforce that the editing result ends with a newline (which it
typically would anyway). You then continue typing more lines if
you want, or you can type ";" or do \g or \r or another \e.
This is intentionally divorced from readline's processing,
for simplicity and so that it works the same with or without

We already used this optimization if the plpgsql function is read-only.
But it seems okay to do it even in a read-write function, if the
expression contains only immutable functions/operators. There would
only be a change of behavior if an "immutable" called function depends
on seeing database updates made during the current plpgsql function.
That's enough of a violation of the promise of immutability that anyone
who complains won't have much of a case.
The benefits are significant --- for simple cases like
while i < 10000000
loop
i := i + 1;
end loop;
I see net performance improvements around 45%. Of course, real-world
cases won't get that much faster, but it ought to be noticeable.
At the very least, this removes much of the performance penalty that
used to exist for forgetting to mark a plpgsql function non-volatile.

slot_modify_cstrings seriously abused the TupleTableSlot API by relying
on a slot's underlying data to stay valid across ExecClearTuple. Since
this abuse was also quite undocumented, it's little surprise that the
case got broken during the v12 slot rewrites. As reported in bug #16129
from Ondřej Jirman, this could lead to crashes or data corruption when
a logical replication subscriber processes a row update. Problems would
only arise if the subscriber's table contained columns of pass-by-ref
types that were not being copied from the publisher.
Fix by explicitly copying the datum/isnull arrays from the source slot
that the old row was in already. This ends up being about the same
thing that happened pre-v12, but hopefully in a less opaque and
fragile way.
We might've caught the problem sooner if there were any test cases
dealing with updates involving non-replicated or dropped columns.
Now there are.
Back-patch to v10 where this code came in. Even though the failure
does not manifest before v12, IMO this code is too fragile to leave

While a self-referential view doesn't actually work, it's possible
to create one, and it turns out that this breaks some of the
information_schema views. Those views call relation_is_updatable(),
which neglected to consider the hazards of being recursive. In
older PG versions you get a "stack depth limit exceeded" error,
but since v10 it'd recurse to the point of stack overrun and crash,
because commit a4c35ea1c took out the expression_returns_set() call
that was incidentally checking the stack depth.
Since this function is only used by information_schema views, it
seems like it'd be better to return "not updatable" than suffer
an error. Hence, add tracking of what views we're examining,
in just the same way that the nearby fireRIRrules() code detects
self-referential views. I added a check_stack_depth() call too,
just to be defensive.
