Michael Paquier f5047c1293 Move any remaining files generated by pg_upgrade into an internal subdir
This change concerns a couple of .txt files (for internal state checks)
that were still written in the path where the binary is executed, and
not in the subdirectory located in the target cluster.  Like the other
.txt files doing already so (like loadable_libraries.txt), these are
saved in the base output directory.  Note that on failure, the logs
report the full path to the .txt file generated, so these are easy to
find.

Oversight in 38bfae3.

David Rowley 4d5d35858c Don't reference out-of-bounds array elements in brin_minmax_multi.c
The primary fix here is to fix has_matching_range() so it does not
reference ranges->values[-1] when nranges == 0.  Similar problems existed
in AssertCheckRanges() too.  It does not look like any of these problems
could lead to a crash as the array in question is at the end of the Ranges
struct, and values[-1] is memory that belongs to other fields in the
struct.  However, let's get rid of these rather unsafe coding practices.

In passing, I (David) adjusted some comments to try to make it more clear
what some of the fields are for in the Ranges struct.  I had to study the
code to find out what nsorted was for as I couldn't tell from the
comments.

Daniel Gustafsson 56d238846f Fix NaN comparison in circle_same test
Commit c4c340088 changed geometric operators to use float4 and float8
functions, and handle NaN's in a better way. The circle sameness test
had a typo in the code which resulted in all comparisons with the left
circle having a NaN radius considered same.

  postgres=# select '<(0,0),NaN>'::circle ~= '<(0,0),1>'::circle;
  ?column?
  ----------
  t
  (1 row)

This fixes the sameness test to consider the radius of both the left
and right circle.

Peter Eisentraut c8a1bc01c6 Use float8 datatype for percentiles in pg_walinspect stat functions
pg_walinspect uses datatype double (double precision floating point
number) for WAL stats percentile calculations and expose them via
float4 (single precision floating point number), which an unnecessary
loss of precision and confusing. Even though, it's harmless that way,
let's use float8 (double precision floating-point number) to be in
sync with what pg_walinspect does internally and what it exposes to
the users. This seems to be the pattern used elsewhere in the code.

Tom Lane fbb54d742a Fix possible omission of variable storage markers in ECPG.
The ECPG preprocessor converted code such as

static varchar str1[10], str2[20], str3[30];

into

static  struct varchar_1  { int len; char arr[ 10 ]; }  str1 ;
        struct varchar_2  { int len; char arr[ 20 ]; }  str2 ;
        struct varchar_3  { int len; char arr[ 30 ]; }  str3 ;

thus losing the storage attribute for the later variables.
Repeat the declaration for each such variable.

(Note that this occurred only for variables declared "varchar"
or "bytea", which may help explain how it escaped detection
for so long.)

Tom Lane 100a8ca2c2 Reject bogus output from uuid_create(3).
When using the BSD UUID functions, contrib/uuid-ossp expects
uuid_create() to produce a version-1 UUID.  FreeBSD still does so,
but in recent NetBSD releases that function produces a version-4
(random) UUID instead.  That's not acceptable for our purposes:
if the user wanted v4 she would have asked for v4, not v1.
Hence, check the version digit and complain if it's not '1'.

Also drop the documentation's claim that the NetBSD implementation
is usable.  It might be, depending on which OS version you're using,
but we're not going to get into that kind of detail.

(Maybe someday we should ditch all these external libraries
and just write our own UUID code, but today is not that day.)

Fix GetForeignKey*Triggers for self-referential FKs
Because of inadequate filtering, the check triggers were confusing the
search for action triggers in GetForeignKeyActionTriggers and vice-versa
in GetForeignKeyCheckTriggers; this confusion results in seemingly
random assertion failures, and can have real impact in non-asserting
builds depending on catalog order.  Change these functions so that they
correctly ignore triggers that are not relevant to each side.

To reduce the odds of further problems, do not break out of the
searching loop in assertion builds.  This break is likely to hide bugs;
without it, we would have detected this bug immediately.

This problem was introduced by f4566345cf, so backpatch to 15 where

Michael Paquier 0a7c9ee500 Add more error context to RestoreBlockImage() and consume it
On failure in restoring a block image, no details were provided, while
it is possible to see failure with an inconsistent record state, a
failure in processing decompression or a failure in decompression
because a build does not support this option.

RestoreBlockImage() is used in two code paths in the backend code,
during recovery and when checking a page consistency after applying
masking, and both places are changed to consume the error message
produced by the internal routine when it returns a false status.  All
the error messages are reported under ERRCODE_INTERNAL_ERROR, that gets
used also when attempting to access a page compressed by a method
not supported by the build attempting the decompression.  This is
something that can happen in core when doing physical replication with
primary and standby using inconsistent build options, for example.

This routine is available since 2c03216d and it has never provided any
context about the error happening when it failed.  This change is
justified even more after 57aa5b2, that introduced compression of FPWs
in WAL.

Choose FK name correctly during partition attachment
During ALTER TABLE ATTACH PARTITION, if the name of a parent's foreign
key constraint is already used on the partition, the code tries to
choose another one before the FK attributes list has been populated,
so the resulting constraint name was "<relname>__fkey" instead of
"<relname>_<attrs>_fkey".  Repair, and add a test case.

Thomas Munro dd38ff28ad Fix recovery_prefetch with low maintenance_io_concurrency.
We should process completed IOs *before* trying to start more, so that
it is always possible to decode one more record when the decoded record
queue is empty, even if maintenance_io_concurrency is set so low that a
single earlier WAL record might have saturated the IO queue.

That bug was hidden because the effect of maintenance_io_concurrency was
arbitrarily clamped to be at least 2.  Fix the ordering, and also remove
that clamp.  We need a special case for 0, which is now treated the same
as recovery_prefetch=off, but otherwise the number is used directly.
This allows for testing with 1, which would have made the problem
obvious in simple test scenarios.

Also add an explicit error message for missing contrecords.  It was a
bit strange that we didn't report an error already, and became a latent
bug with prefetching, since the internal state that tracks aborted
contrecords would not survive retrying, as revealed by
026_overwrite_contrecord.pl with this adjustment.  Reporting an error
prevents that.

David Rowley 6ce4c4d831 Doc: clarify partitioned table limitations
Improve documentation regarding the limitations of unique and primary key
constraints on partitioned tables.  The existing documentation didn't make
it clear that the constraint columns had to be present in the partition
key as bare columns.  The reader could be led to believe that it was ok to
include the constraint columns as part of a function call's parameters or
as part of an expression.  Additionally, the documentation didn't mention
anything about the fact that we disallow unique and primary key
constraints if the partition keys contain *any* function calls or
expressions, regardless of if the constraint columns appear as columns
elsewhere in the partition key.

The confusion here was highlighted by a report on the general mailing list
by James Vanns.

Thomas Munro d0d9344900 Fix cache invalidation bug in recovery_prefetch.
XLogPageRead() can retry internally after a pread() system call has
succeeded, in the case of short reads, and page validation failures
while in standby mode (see commit 0668719801).  Due to an oversight in
commit 3f1ce973, these cases could leave stale data in the internal
cache of xlogreader.c without marking it invalid.  The main defense
against stale cached data on failure to read a page was in the error
handling path of the calling function ReadPageInternal(), but that
wasn't quite enough for errors handled internally by XLogPageRead()'s
retry loop if we then exited with XLREAD_WOULDBLOCK.

1.  ReadPageInternal() now marks the cache invalid before calling the
    page_read callback, by setting state->readLen to 0.  It'll be set to
    a non-zero value only after a successful read.  It'll stay valid as
    long as the caller requests data in the cached range.

2.  XLogPageRead() no long performs internal retries while reading
    ahead.  While such retries should work, the general philosophy is
    that we should give up prefetching if anything unusual happens so we
    can handle it when recovery catches up, to reduce the complexity of
    the system.  Let's do that here too.

3.  While here, a new function XLogReaderResetError() improves the
    separation between xlogrecovery.c and xlogreader.c, where the former
    previously clobbered the latter's internal error buffer directly.
    The new function makes this more explicit, and also clears a related
    flag, without which a standby would needlessly retry in the outer
    function.

Thanks to Noah Misch for tracking down the conditions required for a
rare build farm failure in src/bin/pg_ctl/t/003_promote.pl, and
providing a reproducer.

David Rowley c4e861b7bb Fix some possibly latent bugs in slab.c
Primarily, this fixes an incorrect calculation in SlabCheck which was
looking in the wrong byte for the sentinel check.  The reason that we've
never noticed this before in the form of a failing sentinel check is
because the pre-check to this always fails because all current core users
of slab contexts have a chunk size which is already MAXALIGNed, therefore
there's never any space for the sentinel byte.  It is possible that an
extension needs to use a slab context and if they do with a chunk size
that's not MAXALIGNed, then they'll likely get errors about overwritten
sentinel bytes.

Additionally, this patch changes various calculations which are being done
based on the sizeof(SlabBlock).  Currently, sizeof(SlabBlock) is a
multiple of 8, therefore sizeof(SlabBlock) is the same as
MAXALIGN(sizeof(SlabBlock)), however, if we were to ever have to add any
fields to that struct as part of a bug fix, then SlabAlloc could end up
returning a non-MAXALIGNed pointer.  To be safe, let's ensure we always
MAXALIGN sizeof(SlabBlock) before using it in any calculations.

This patch has already been applied to master in d5ee4db0e.

Tom Lane 0c599e748f Prevent long-term memory leakage in autovacuum launcher.
get_database_list() failed to restore the caller's memory context,
instead leaving current context set to TopMemoryContext which is
how CommitTransactionCommand() leaves it.  The callers both think
they are using short-lived contexts, for the express purpose of
not having to worry about cleaning up individual allocations.
The net effect therefore is that supposedly short-lived allocations
could accumulate indefinitely in the launcher's TopMemoryContext.

Although this has been broken for a long time, it seems we didn't
have any obvious memory leak here until v15's rearrangement of the
stats logic.  I (tgl) am not entirely convinced that there's no
other leak at all, though, and we're surely at risk of adding one
in future back-patched fixes.  So back-patch to all supported
branches, even though this may be only a latent bug in pre-v15.

Tom Lane 61f6e5c236 In the Snowball dictionary, don't try to stem excessively-long words.
If the input word exceeds 1000 bytes, don't pass it to the stemmer;
just return it as-is after case folding.  Such an input is surely
not a word in any human language, so whatever the stemmer might
do to it would be pretty dubious in the first place.  Adding this
restriction protects us against a known recursion-to-stack-overflow
problem in the Turkish stemmer, and it seems like good insurance
against any other safety or performance issues that may exist in
the Snowball stemmers.  (I note, for example, that they contain no
CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS calls, so we really don't want them running
for a long time.)  The threshold of 1000 bytes is arbitrary.

An alternative definition could have been to treat such words as
stopwords, but that seems like a bigger break from the old behavior.

Per report from Egor Chindyaskin and Alexander Lakhin.
Thanks to Olly Betts for the recommendation to fix it this way.

Tom Lane 529d8f3736 On NetBSD, force dynamic symbol resolution at postmaster start.
The default of lazy symbol resolution means that when the postmaster
first reaches the select() call in ServerLoop, it'll need to resolve
the link to that libc entry point.  NetBSD's dynamic loader takes
an internal lock while doing that, and if a signal interrupts the
operation then there is a risk of self-deadlock should the signal
handler do anything that requires that lock, as several of the
postmaster signal handlers do.  The window for this is pretty narrow,
and timing considerations make it unlikely that a signal would arrive
right then anyway.  But it's semi-repeatable on slow single-CPU
machines, and in principle the race could happen with any hardware.

The least messy solution to this is to force binding of dynamic
symbols at postmaster start, using the "-z now" linker option.
While we're at it, also use "-z relro" so as to provide a small
security gain.

It's not entirely clear whether any other platforms share this
issue, but for now we'll assume it's NetBSD-specific.  (We might
later try to use "-z now" on more platforms for performance
reasons, but that would not likely be something to back-patch.)

Report and patch by me; the idea to fix it this way is from
Andres Freund.

Robert Haas eb29fa3889 Prevent WAL corruption after a standby promotion.
When a PostgreSQL instance performing archive recovery but not using
standby mode is promoted, and the last WAL segment that it attempted
to read ended in a partial record, the previous code would create
invalid WAL on the new timeline. The WAL from the previously timeline
would be copied to the new timeline up until the end of the last valid
record, but instead of beginning to write WAL at immediately
afterwards, the promoted server would write an overwrite contrecord at
the beginning of the next segment. The end of the previous segment
would be left as all-zeroes, resulting in failures if anything tried
to read WAL from that file.

The root of the issue is that ReadRecord() decides whether to set
abortedRecPtr and missingContrecPtr based on the value of StandbyMode,
but ReadRecord() switches to a new timeline based on the value of
ArchiveRecoveryRequested. We shouldn't try to write an overwrite
contrecord if we're switching to a new timeline, so change the test in
ReadRecod() to check ArchiveRecoveryRequested instead.

Code fix by Dilip Kumar. Comments by me incorporating suggested
language from Álvaro Herrera. Further review from Kyotaro Horiguchi
and Sami Imseih.

Michael Paquier 44817d97bc Use correct connection for cancellation in frontend's parallel slots
While waiting for slots to become available in wait_on_slots() in
parallel_slot.c, the cancellation always relied on the first connection
in the set to do the job.  This could cause problems when this slot's
socket is gone as PQgetCancel() would return NULL in this case.  Rather
than always using the first connection, this changes the logic to use
the first valid connection for the cancellation.
