Tom Lane 0245f8db36 Pre-beta mechanical code beautification.
Run pgindent, pgperltidy, and reformat-dat-files.

This set of diffs is a bit larger than typical.  We've updated to
pg_bsd_indent 2.1.2, which properly indents variable declarations that
have multi-line initialization expressions (the continuation lines are
now indented one tab stop).  We've also updated to perltidy version
20230309 and changed some of its settings, which reduces its desire to
add whitespace to lines to make assignments etc. line up.  Going
forward, that should make for fewer random-seeming changes to existing
code.

Noah Misch 681d9e4621 Replace last PushOverrideSearchPath() call with set_config_option().
The two methods don't cooperate, so set_config_option("search_path",
...) has been ineffective under non-empty overrideStack.  This defect
enabled an attacker having database-level CREATE privilege to execute
arbitrary code as the bootstrap superuser.  While that particular attack
requires v13+ for the trusted extension attribute, other attacks are
feasible in all supported versions.

Standardize on the combination of NewGUCNestLevel() and
set_config_option("search_path", ...).  It is newer than
PushOverrideSearchPath(), more-prevalent, and has no known
disadvantages.  The "override" mechanism remains for now, for
compatibility with out-of-tree code.  Users should update such code,
which likely suffers from the same sort of vulnerability closed here.
Back-patch to v11 (all supported versions).

Michael Paquier b8da37b3ad Rework pg_input_error_message(), now renamed pg_input_error_info()
pg_input_error_info() is now a SQL function able to return a row with
more than just the error message generated for incorrect data type
inputs when these are able to handle soft failures, returning more
contents of ErrorData, as of:
- The error message (same as before).
- The error detail, if set.
- The error hint, if set.
- SQL error code.

All the regression tests that relied on pg_input_error_message() are
updated to reflect the effects of the rename.

Per discussion with Tom Lane and Andrew Dunstan.

Tom Lane 701c881f78 Fix contrib/seg to be more wary of long input numbers.
seg stores the number of significant digits in an input number
in a "char" field.  If char is signed, and the input is more than
127 digits long, the count can read out as negative causing
seg_out() to print garbage (or, if you're really unlucky,
even crash).

To fix, clamp the digit count to be not more than FLT_DIG.
(In theory this loses some information about what the original
input was, but it doesn't seem like useful information; it would
not survive dump/restore in any case.)

Also, in case there are stored values of the seg type containing
bad data, add a clamp in seg_out's restore() subroutine.

Per bug #17725 from Robins Tharakan.  It's been like this
forever, so back-patch to all supported branches.

The generated resource files aren't exactly the same ones as the old
buildsystems generate. Previously "InternalName" and "OriginalFileName" were
mostly wrong / not set (despite being required), but that was hard to fix in

"auto-generated" description when not set, and doesn't set it in a few cases -
unlikely that anybody looks at these descriptions in detail.

Andres Freund e6927270cd meson: Add initial version of meson based build system
Autoconf is showing its age, fewer and fewer contributors know how to wrangle
it. Recursive make has a lot of hard to resolve dependency issues and slow
incremental rebuilds. Our home-grown MSVC build system is hard to maintain for
developers not using Windows and runs tests serially. While these and other
issues could individually be addressed with incremental improvements, together
they seem best addressed by moving to a more modern build system.

After evaluating different build system choices, we chose to use meson, to a
good degree based on the adoption by other open source projects.

We decided that it's more realistic to commit a relatively early version of
the new build system and mature it in tree.

This commit adds an initial version of a meson based build system. It supports
building postgres on at least AIX, FreeBSD, Linux, macOS, NetBSD, OpenBSD,
Solaris and Windows (however only gcc is supported on aix, solaris). For
Windows/MSVC postgres can now be built with ninja (faster, particularly for
incremental builds) and msbuild (supporting the visual studio GUI, but
building slower).

Several aspects (e.g. Windows rc file generation, PGXS compatibility, LLVM
bitcode generation, documentation adjustments) are done in subsequent commits
requiring further review. Other aspects (e.g. not installing test-only
extensions) are not yet addressed.

When building on Windows with msbuild, builds are slower when using a visual
studio version older than 2019, because those versions do not support
MultiToolTask, required by meson for intra-target parallelism.

The plan is to remove the MSVC specific build system in src/tools/msvc soon
after reaching feature parity. However, we're not planning to remove the
autoconf/make build system in the near future. Likely we're going to keep at
least the parts required for PGXS to keep working around until all supported
versions build with meson.

Some initial help for postgres developers is at
https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Meson

Tom Lane d16ebfbff7 Stabilize contrib/seg regression test.
If autovacuum comes along just after we fill table test_seg with
some data, it will update the stats to the point where we prefer
a plain indexscan over a bitmap scan, breaking the expected
output (as well as the point of the test case).  To fix, just
force a bitmap scan to be chosen here.

clear why we just recently saw any buildfarm failures due to it;
but prairiedog has failed twice on this test in the past week.

Tom Lane 7eeb1d9861 Make contrib modules' installation scripts more secure.
Hostile objects located within the installation-time search_path could
capture references in an extension's installation or upgrade script.
If the extension is being installed with superuser privileges, this
opens the door to privilege escalation.  While such hazards have existed
all along, their urgency increases with the v13 "trusted extensions"
feature, because that lets a non-superuser control the installation path
for a superuser-privileged script.  Therefore, make a number of changes
to make such situations more secure:

* Tweak the construction of the installation-time search_path to ensure
that references to objects in pg_catalog can't be subverted; and
explicitly add pg_temp to the end of the path to prevent attacks using
temporary objects.

* Disable check_function_bodies within installation/upgrade scripts,
so that any security gaps in SQL-language or PL-language function bodies
cannot create a risk of unwanted installation-time code execution.

* Adjust lookup of type input/receive functions and join estimator
functions to complain if there are multiple candidate functions.  This
prevents capture of references to functions whose signature is not the
first one checked; and it's arguably more user-friendly anyway.

* Modify various contrib upgrade scripts to ensure that catalog
modification queries are executed with secure search paths.  (These
are in-place modifications with no extension version changes, since
it is the update process itself that is at issue, not the end result.)

Extensions that depend on other extensions cannot be made fully secure
by these methods alone; therefore, revert the "trusted" marking that
commit eb67623c9 applied to earthdistance and hstore_plperl, pending
some better solution to that set of issues.

Also add documentation around these issues, to help extension authors
write secure installation scripts.

Patch by me, following an observation by Andres Freund; thanks
to Noah Misch for review.

Tom Lane 70a7732007 Remove support for upgrading extensions from "unpackaged" state.
Andres Freund pointed out that allowing non-superusers to run
"CREATE EXTENSION ... FROM unpackaged" has security risks, since
the unpackaged-to-1.0 scripts don't try to verify that the existing
objects they're modifying are what they expect.  Just attaching such
objects to an extension doesn't seem too dangerous, but some of them
do more than that.

We could have resolved this, perhaps, by still requiring superuser
privilege to use the FROM option.  However, it's fair to ask just what
we're accomplishing by continuing to lug the unpackaged-to-1.0 scripts
forward.  None of them have received any real testing since 9.1 days,
so they may not even work anymore (even assuming that one could still
load the previous "loose" object definitions into a v13 database).
And an installation that's trying to go from pre-9.1 to v13 or later
in one jump is going to have worse compatibility problems than whether
there's a trivial way to convert their contrib modules into extension
style.

Hence, let's just drop both those scripts and the core-code support
for "CREATE EXTENSION ... FROM".

to be conservative with use of this feature to start out with.

When maintaining or merging patches, one of the most common sources
for conflicts are the list of objects in makefiles. Especially when
the split across lines has been changed on both sides, which is
somewhat common due to attempting to stay below 80 columns, those
conflicts are unnecessarily laborious to resolve.

By splitting, and alphabetically sorting, OBJS style lines into one
object per line, conflicts should be less frequent, and easier to

Andrew Gierth 02ddd49932 Change floating-point output format for improved performance.
Previously, floating-point output was done by rounding to a specific
decimal precision; by default, to 6 or 15 decimal digits (losing
information) or as requested using extra_float_digits. Drivers that
wanted exact float values, and applications like pg_dump that must
preserve values exactly, set extra_float_digits=3 (or sometimes 2 for
historical reasons, though this isn't enough for float4).

Unfortunately, decimal rounded output is slow enough to become a
noticable bottleneck when dealing with large result sets or COPY of
large tables when many floating-point values are involved.

Floating-point output can be done much faster when the output is not
rounded to a specific decimal length, but rather is chosen as the
shortest decimal representation that is closer to the original float
value than to any other value representable in the same precision. The
recently published Ryu algorithm by Ulf Adams is both relatively
simple and remarkably fast.

Accordingly, change float4out/float8out to output shortest decimal
representations if extra_float_digits is greater than 0, and make that
the new default. Applications that need rounded output can set
extra_float_digits back to 0 or below, and take the resulting
performance hit.

We make one concession to portability for systems with buggy
floating-point input: we do not output decimal values that fall
exactly halfway between adjacent representable binary values (which
would rely on the reader doing round-to-nearest-even correctly). This
is known to be a problem at least for VS2013 on Windows.

Our version of the Ryu code originates from
https://github.com/ulfjack/ryu/ at commit c9c3fb1979, but with the
following (significant) modifications:

 - Output format is changed to use fixed-point notation for small
   exponents, as printf would, and also to use lowercase 'e', a
   minimum of 2 exponent digits, and a mandatory sign on the exponent,
   to keep the formatting as close as possible to previous output.

 - The output of exact midpoint values is disabled as noted above.

 - The integer fast-path code is changed somewhat (since we have
   fixed-point output and the upstream did not).

 - Our project style has been largely applied to the code with the
   exception of C99 declaration-after-statement, which has been
   retained as an exception to our present policy.

 - Most of upstream's debugging and conditionals are removed, and we
   use our own configure tests to determine things like uint128
   availability.

Changing the float output format obviously affects a number of
regression tests. This patch uses an explicit setting of
extra_float_digits=0 for test output that is not expected to be
exactly reproducible (e.g. due to numerical instability or differing
algorithms for transcendental functions).

Conversions from floats to numeric are unchanged by this patch. These
may appear in index expressions and it is not yet clear whether any
change should be made, so that can be left for another day.

This patch assumes that the only supported floating point format is
now IEEE format, and the documentation is updated to reflect that.

Code by me, adapting the work of Ulf Adams and other contributors.

Tom Lane de1d042f59 Support index-only scans in contrib/cube and contrib/seg GiST indexes.
To do this, we only have to remove the compress and decompress support
functions, which have never done anything more than detoasting.
In the wake of commit d3a4f89d8, this results in automatically enabling
index-only scans, since the core code will now know that the stored
representation is the same as the original data (up to detoasting).

The only exciting part of this is that ALTER OPERATOR FAMILY lacks
a way to drop a support function that was declared as being part of
an opclass rather than being loose in the family.  For the moment,
we'll hack our way to a solution with a manual update of the pg_depend
entry type, which is what distinguishes the two cases.  Perhaps
someday it'll be worth providing a cleaner way to do that, but for
now it seems like a very niche problem.

Note that the underlying C functions remain, to support use of the shared
libraries with older versions of the modules' SQL declarations.  Someday
we may be able to remove them, but not soon.

By default, BSD indent lines up statement continuation lines that are
within parentheses so that they start just to the right of the preceding
left parenthesis.  However, traditionally, if that resulted in the
continuation line extending to the right of the desired right margin,
then indent would push it left just far enough to not overrun the margin,
if it could do so without making the continuation line start to the left of
the current statement indent.  That makes for a weird mix of indentations
unless one has been completely rigid about never violating the 80-column
limit.

This behavior has been pretty universally panned by Postgres developers.
Hence, disable it with indent's new -lpl switch, so that parenthesized
lines are always lined up with the preceding left paren.

This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent
changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

Tom Lane ade49c605f Test all contrib-created operator classes with amvalidate.
I'd supposed that people would do this manually when creating new operator
classes, but the folly of that was exposed today.  The tests seem fast
enough that we can just apply them during the normal regression tests.

contrib/isn fails the checks for lack of complete sets of cross-type
operators.  That's a nice-to-have policy rather than a functional
requirement, so leave it as-is, but insert ORDER BY in the query to
ensure consistent cross-platform output.

Robert Haas 2910fc8239 Update extensions with GIN/GIST support for parallel query.
Commit 749a787c5b bumped the extension
version on all of these extensions already, and we haven't had a
release since then, so we can make further changes without bumping the
extension version again.  Take this opportunity to mark all of the
functions exported by these modules PARALLEL SAFE -- except for
pg_trgm's set_limit().  Mark that one PARALLEL RESTRICTED, because it
makes a persistent change to a GUC value.

Note that some of the markings added by this commit don't have any
effect; for example, gseg_picksplit() isn't likely to be mentioned
explicitly in a query and therefore it's parallel-safety marking will
never be consulted.  But this commit just marks everything for
consistency: if it were somehow used in a query, that would be fine as
far as parallel query is concerned, since it does not consult any
backend-private state, attempt to write data, etc.

Tom Lane 749a787c5b Handle contrib's GIN/GIST support function signature changes honestly.
In commits 9ff60273e3 and dbe2328959 I (tgl) fixed the
signatures of a bunch of contrib's GIN and GIST support functions so that
they would pass validation by the recently-added amvalidate functions.
The backend does not actually consult or check those signatures otherwise,
so I figured this was basically cosmetic and did not require an extension
version bump.  However, Alexander Korotkov pointed out that that would
leave us in a pretty messy situation if we ever wanted to redefine those
functions later, because there wouldn't be a unique way to name them.
Since we're going to be bumping these extensions' versions anyway for
parallel-query cleanups, let's take care of this now.

Tom Lane f050423052 Revert "Convert contrib/seg's bool-returning SQL functions to V1 call convention."
This reverts commit c8e81afc60.
That turns out to have been based on a faulty diagnosis of why the
VS2015 build was misbehaving.  Instead, we need to fix DatumGetBool().

Tom Lane c8e81afc60 Convert contrib/seg's bool-returning SQL functions to V1 call convention.
It appears that we can no longer get away with using V0 call convention
for bool-returning functions in newer versions of MSVC.  The compiler
seems to generate code that doesn't clear the higher-order bits of the
result register, causing the bool result Datum to often read as "true"
when "false" was intended.  This is not very surprising, since the
function thinks it's returning a bool-width result but fmgr_oldstyle
assumes that V0 functions return "char *"; what's surprising is that
that hack worked for so long on so many platforms.

The only functions of this description in core+contrib are in contrib/seg,
which we'd intentionally left mostly in V0 style to serve as a warning
canary if V0 call convention breaks.  We could imagine hacking things
so that they're still V0 (we'd have to redeclare the bool-returning
functions as returning some suitably wide integer type, like size_t,
at the C level).  But on the whole it seems better to convert 'em to V1.
We can still leave the pointer- and int-returning functions in V0 style,
so that the test coverage isn't gone entirely.

Back-patch to 9.5, since our intention is to support VS2015 in 9.5
and later.  There's no SQL-level change in the functions' behavior
so back-patching should be safe enough.

Tom Lane a75a418d07 Clean up dubious code in contrib/seg.
The restore() function assumed that the result of sprintf() with %e format
would necessarily contain an 'e', which is false: what if the supplied
number is an infinity or NaN?  If that did happen, we'd get a
null-pointer-dereference core dump.  The case appears impossible currently,
because seg_in() does not accept such values, and there are no seg-creating
functions that would create one.  But it seems unwise to rely on it never
happening in future.

Quite aside from that, the code was pretty ugly: it relied on modifying a
static format string when it could use a "*" precision argument, and it
used strtok() entirely gratuitously, and it stripped off trailing spaces
by hand instead of just not asking for them to begin with.

Coverity noticed the potential null pointer dereference (though I wonder
why it didn't complain years ago, since this code is ancient).

Since this is just code cleanup and forestalling a hypothetical future
bug, there seems no need for back-patching.

Tom Lane 9ff60273e3 Fix assorted inconsistencies in GiST opclass support function declarations.
The conventions specified by the GiST SGML documentation were widely
ignored.  For example, the strategy-number argument for "consistent" and
"distance" functions is specified to be a smallint, but most of the
built-in support functions declared it as an integer, and for that matter
the core code passed it using Int32GetDatum not Int16GetDatum.  None of
that makes any real difference at runtime, but it's quite confusing for
newcomers to the code, and it makes it very hard to write an amvalidate()
function that checks support function signatures.  So let's try to instill
some consistency here.

Another similar issue is that the "query" argument is not of a single
well-defined type, but could have different types depending on the strategy
(corresponding to search operators with different righthand-side argument
types).  Some of the functions threw up their hands and declared the query
argument as being of "internal" type, which surely isn't right ("any" would
have been more appropriate); but the majority position seemed to be to
declare it as being of the indexed data type, corresponding to a search
operator with both input types the same.  So I've specified a convention
that that's what to do always.

Also, the result of the "union" support function actually must be of the
index's storage type, but the documentation suggested declaring it to
return "internal", and some of the functions followed that.  Standardize
on telling the truth, instead.

Similarly, standardize on declaring the "same" function's inputs as
being of the storage type, not "internal".

Also, somebody had forgotten to add the "recheck" argument to both
the documentation of the "distance" support function and all of their
SQL declarations, even though the C code was happily using that argument.
Clean that up too.

Fix up some other omissions in the docs too, such as documenting that
union's second input argument is vestigial.

So far as the errors in core function declarations go, we can just fix
pg_proc.h and bump catversion.  Adjusting the erroneous declarations in
contrib modules is more debatable: in principle any change in those
scripts should involve an extension version bump, which is a pain.
However, since these changes are purely cosmetic and make no functional
difference, I think we can get away without doing that.

Alvaro Herrera 26df7066cc Move strategy numbers to include/access/stratnum.h
For upcoming BRIN opclasses, it's convenient to have strategy numbers
defined in a single place.  Since there's nothing appropriate, create
it.  The StrategyNumber typedef now lives there, as well as existing
strategy numbers for B-trees (from skey.h) and R-tree-and-friends (from
gist.h).  skey.h is forced to include stratnum.h because of the
StrategyNumber typedef, but gist.h is not; extensions that currently
rely on gist.h for rtree strategy numbers might need to add a new

A few .c files can stop including skey.h and/or gist.h, which is a nice
side benefit.

Tom Lane 785941cdc3 Tweak __attribute__-wrapping macros for better pgindent results.
This improves on commit bbfd7edae5 by
making two simple changes:

* pg_attribute_noreturn now takes parentheses, ie pg_attribute_noreturn().
Likewise pg_attribute_unused(), pg_attribute_packed().  This reduces
pgindent's tendency to misformat declarations involving them.

* attributes are now always attached to function declarations, not
definitions.  Previously some places were taking creative shortcuts,
which were not merely candidates for bad misformatting by pgindent
but often were outright wrong anyway.  (It does little good to put a
noreturn annotation where callers can't see it.)  In any case, if
we would like to believe that these macros can be used with non-gcc
compilers, we should avoid gratuitous variance in usage patterns.

I also went through and manually improved the formatting of a lot of
declarations, and got rid of excessively repetitive (and now obsolete
anyway) comments informing the reader what pg_attribute_printf is for.
