A couple of code paths use the special area on the page passed by the
function caller, expecting to find some data in it. However, feeding
an incorrect page can lead to out-of-bound reads when trying to access
the page special area (like a heap page that has no special area,
leading PageGetSpecialPointer() to grab a pointer outside the allocated
page).
The functions used for hash and btree indexes have some protection
already against that, while some other functions using a relation OID
as argument would make sure that the access method involved is correct,
but functions taking in input a raw page without knowing the relation
the page is attached to would run into problems.
This commit improves the set of checks used in the code paths of BRIN,
btree (including one check if a leaf page is found with a non-zero
level), GIN and GiST to verify that the page given in input has a
special area size that fits with each access method, which is done
though PageGetSpecialSize(), becore calling PageGetSpecialPointer().
The scope of the checks done is limited to work with pages that one
would pass after getting a block with get_raw_page(), as it is possible
to craft byteas that could bypass existing code paths. Having too many
checks would also impact the usability of pageinspect, as the existing
code is very useful to look at the content details in a corrupted page,
so the focus is really to avoid out-of-bound reads as this is never a
good thing even with functions whose execution is limited to
superusers.
The safest approach could be to rework the functions so as these fetch a
block using a relation OID and a block number, but there are also cases
where using a raw page is useful.
Tests are added to cover all the code paths that needed such checks, and
an error message for hash indexes is reworded to fit better with what
this commit adds.

clang 13 with -Wextra warns that "performing pointer subtraction with
a null pointer has undefined behavior" in the places where freepage.c
tries to set a relptr variable to constant NULL. This appears to be
a compiler bug, but it's unlikely to get fixed instantly. Fortunately,
we can work around it by introducing an inline support function, which
seems like a good change anyway because it removes the macro's existing
double-evaluation hazard.

The previous method for doing that was to write zeroes into a
predetermined set of page locations. However, there's a roughly
1-in-64K chance that the existing checksum will match by chance,
and yesterday several buildfarm animals started to reproducibly
see that, resulting in test failures because no checksum mismatch
was reported.
Since the checksum includes the page LSN, test success depends on
the length of the installation's WAL history, which is affected by
(at least) the initial catalog contents, the set of locales installed
on the system, and the length of the pathname of the test directory.
Sooner or later we were going to hit a chance match, and today is
that day.
Harden these tests by specifically inverting the checksum field and
leaving all else alone, thereby guaranteeing that the checksum is
incorrect.
In passing, fix places that were using seek() to set up for syswrite(),
a combination that the Perl docs very explicitly warn against. We've
probably escaped problems because no regular buffered I/O is done on
these filehandles; but if it ever breaks, we wouldn't deserve or get
much sympathy.
Although we've only seen problems in HEAD, now that we recognize the
environmental dependencies it seems like it might be just a matter
of time until someone manages to hit this in back-branch testing.
Hence, back-patch to v11 where we started doing this kind of test.

Crash recovery on standby may encounter missing directories when
replaying create database WAL records. Prior to this patch, the standby
would fail to recover in such a case. However, the directories could be
legitimately missing. Consider a sequence of WAL records as follows:
CREATE DATABASE
DROP DATABASE
DROP TABLESPACE
If, after replaying the last WAL record and removing the tablespace
directory, the standby crashes and has to replay the create database
record again, the crash recovery must be able to move on.
This patch adds a mechanism similar to invalid-page tracking, to keep a
tally of missing directories during crash recovery. If all the missing
directory references are matched with corresponding drop records at the
end of crash recovery, the standby can safely continue following the
primary.
Backpatch to 13, at least for now. The bug is older, but fixing it in
older branches requires more careful study of the interactions with
commit e6d8069522, which appeared in 13.
A new TAP test file is added to verify the condition. However, because
it depends on commit d6d317dbf6, it can only be added to branch
master. I (Álvaro) manually verified that the code behaves as expected
in branch 14. It's a bit nervous-making to leave the code uncovered by
tests in older branches, but leaving the bug unfixed is even worse.
Also, the main reason this fix took so long is precisely that we
couldn't agree on a good strategy to approach testing for the bug, so
perhaps this is the best we can do.

to this set of problems by embedding invalid default values in all the
connection strings used in the tests. The invalid values are prefixed
in each connection string, relying on the follow-up values passed in the
connection string to enforce any invalid value previously set. Note
that two tests related to CRLs are required to fail with certain pre-set
configurations, but we can rely on enforcing an empty value instead
after the invalid set of values.

DROP INDEX needs to lock the index's table before the index itself,
else it will deadlock against ordinary queries that acquire the
relation locks in that order. This is correctly mechanized for
plain indexes by RangeVarCallbackForDropRelation; but in the case of
a partitioned index, we neglected to lock the child tables in advance
of locking the child indexes. We can fix that by traversing the
inheritance tree and acquiring the needed locks in RemoveRelations,
after we have acquired our locks on the parent partitioned table and
index.
While at it, do some refactoring to eliminate confusion between
the actual and expected relkind in RangeVarCallbackForDropRelation.

In commit bf7ca1587, I had the bright idea that we could make the
result of a whole-row Var (that is, foo.*) track any column aliases
that had been applied to the FROM entry the Var refers to. However,
that's not terribly logically consistent, because now the output of
the Var is no longer of the named composite type that the Var claims
to emit. bf7ca1587 tried to handle that by changing the output
tuple values to be labeled with a blessed RECORD type, but that's
really pretty disastrous: we can wind up storing such tuples onto
disk, whereupon they're not readable by other sessions.
The only practical fix I can see is to give up on what bf7ca1587
tried to do, and say that the column names of tuples produced by
a whole-row Var are always those of the underlying named composite
type, query aliases or no. While this introduces some inconsistencies,
it removes others, so it's not that awful in the abstract. What *is*
kind of awful is to make such a behavioral change in a back-patched
bug fix. But corrupt data is worse, so back-patched it will be.
(A workaround available to anyone who's unhappy about this is to
introduce an extra level of sub-SELECT, so that the whole-row Var is
referring to the sub-SELECT's output and not to a named table type.
Then the Var is of type RECORD to begin with and there's no issue.)

Commit 83fd4532a7 allowed publishing of changes via ancestors, for
publications defined with publish_via_partition_root. But the way
the ancestor was determined in get_rel_sync_entry() was incorrect,
simply updating the same variable. So with multiple publications,
replicating different ancestors, the outcome depended on the order
of publications in the list - the value from the last loop was used,
even if it wasn't the top-most ancestor.
This is a probably rare situation, as in most cases publications do
not overlap, so each partition has exactly one candidate ancestor
to replicate as and there's no ambiguity.
Fixed by tracking the "ancestor level" for each publication, and
picking the top-most ancestor. Adds a test case, verifying the
correct ancestor is used for publishing the changes and that this
does not depend on order of publications in the list.
Older releases have another bug in this loop - once all actions are
replicated, the loop is terminated, on the assumption that inspecting
additional publications is unecessary. But that misses the fact that
those additional applications may replicate different ancestors.
Fixed by removal of this break condition. We might still terminate the
loop in some cases (e.g. when replicating all actions and the ancestor
is the partition root).

Commands like ALTER TABLE SET TABLESPACE may leave files for the next
checkpoint to clean up. If such files are not removed by the time DROP
TABLESPACE is called, we request a checkpoint so that they are deleted.
However, there is presently a window before checkpoint start where new
unlink requests won't be scheduled until the following checkpoint. This
means that the checkpoint forced by DROP TABLESPACE might not remove the
files we expect it to remove, and the following ERROR will be emitted:
ERROR: tablespace "mytblspc" is not empty
To fix, add a call to AbsorbSyncRequests() just before advancing the
unlink cycle counter. This ensures that any unlink requests forwarded
prior to checkpoint start (i.e., when ckpt_started is incremented) will
be processed by the current checkpoint. Since AbsorbSyncRequests()
performs memory allocations, it cannot be called within a critical
section, so we also need to move SyncPreCheckpoint() to before
CreateCheckPoint()'s critical section.

This commit fixes a set of issues related to the use of the SQL
functions in this module when the caller is able to pass down raw page
data as input argument:
- The page size check was fuzzy in a couple of places, sometimes
looking after only a sub-range, but what we are looking for is an exact
match on BLCKSZ. After considering a few options here, I have settled
down to do a generalization of get_page_from_raw(). Most of the SQL
functions already used that, and this is not strictly required if not
accessing an 8-byte-wide value from a raw page, but this feels safer in
the long run for alignment-picky environment, particularly if a code
path begins to access such values. This also reduces the number of
strings that need to be translated.
- The BRIN function brin_page_items() uses a Relation but it did not
check the access method of the opened index, potentially leading to
crashes. All the other functions in need of a Relation already did
that.
- Some code paths could fail on elog(), but we should to use ereport()
for failures that can be triggered by the user.
Tests are added to stress all the cases that are fixed as of this
commit, with some junk raw pages (\set VERBOSITY ensures that this works
across all page sizes) and unexpected index types when functions open
relations.

Commit 8b069ef5d changed this function to look at pg_constraint.conindid

return an index that was "owned by" (internally dependent on) the
specified constraint, whereas the new code will also return indexes that
are just referenced by foreign key constraints. This confuses ALTER
TABLE, which was implicitly expecting the previous semantics, into
failing with errors like
ERROR: relation 146621 has multiple clustered indexes
or
ERROR: "pk_attbl" is not an index for table "atref"
We can fix this without reverting the performance improvement by adding
a contype check in get_constraint_index(). Another way could be to
make ALTER TABLE check it, but I'm worried that extension code could
also have subtle dependencies on the old semantics.

Perl can be convinced to execute user-defined code during compilation
of a plperl function (or at least a plperlu function). That's not
such a big problem as long as the activity is confined within the
Perl interpreter, and it's not clear we could do anything about that
anyway. However, if such code tries to use plperl's SPI functions,
we have a bigger problem. In the first place, those functions are
likely to crash because current_call_data->prodesc isn't set up yet.
In the second place, because it isn't set up, we lack critical info
such as whether the function is supposed to be read-only. And in
the third place, this path allows code execution during function
validation, which is strongly discouraged because of the potential
for security exploits. Hence, reject execution of the SPI functions
until compilation is finished.
While here, add check_spi_usage_allowed() calls to various functions
that hadn't gotten the memo about checking that. I think that perhaps
plperl_sv_to_literal may have been intentionally omitted on the grounds
that it was safe at the time; but if so, the addition of transforms

won't have fsync'd it, and it won't be replayed at crash recovery either.
Fix by calling smgrimmedsync() after the index build, just like in B-tree
index build.
Backpatch to v14 where the sorted GiST index build was introduced.

Commit 3db826bd5 intended that valid_custom_variable_name's
rules for valid identifiers match those of scan.l. However,
I (tgl) had some kind of brain fade and put "_" in the wrong
list.
Fix by Japin Li, per bug #17415 from Daniel Polski.

"regress" is a new mode added to compute_query_id aimed at facilitating
regression testing when a module computing query IDs is loaded into the
backend, like pg_stat_statements. It works the same way as "auto",
meaning that query IDs are computed if a module enables it, except that
query IDs are hidden in EXPLAIN outputs to ensure regression output
stability.
Like any GUCs of the kind (force_parallel_mode, etc.), this new
configuration can be added to an instance's postgresql.conf, or just
passed down with PGOPTIONS at command level. compute_query_id uses an
enum for its set of option values, meaning that this addition ensures
ABI compatibility.
Using this new configuration mode allows installcheck-world to pass when
running the tests on an instance with pg_stat_statements enabled,
stabilizing the test output while checking the paths doing query ID
computations.

When cleaning up temporary objects during process exit the cleanup could fail
with:
FATAL: cannot fetch toast data without an active snapshot
The bug is caused by RemoveTempRelationsCallback() not setting up a
snapshot. If an object with toasted catalog data needs to be cleaned up,
init_toast_snapshot() could fail with the above error.
Most of the time however the the problem is masked due to cached catalog
snapshots being returned by GetOldestSnapshot(). But dropping an object can
cause catalog invalidations to be emitted. If no further catalog accesses are
necessary between the invalidation processing and the next toast datum
deletion, the bug becomes visible.
It's easy to miss this bug because it typically happens after clients
disconnect and the FATAL error just ends up in the log.
Luckily temporary table cleanup at the next use of the same temporary schema
or during DISCARD ALL does not have the same problem.
Fix the bug by pushing a snapshot in RemoveTempRelationsCallback(). Also add
isolation tests for temporary object cleanup, including objects with toasted
catalog data.
A future HEAD only commit will add more assertions.

Following migration of Windows buildfarm members running TAP tests to
use of ucrt64 perl for those tests, special processing for msys perl is
no longer necessary and so is removed.

GCC 12 complains that set_stack_base is storing the address of
a local variable in a long-lived pointer. This is an entirely
reasonable warning (indeed, it just helped us find a bug);
but that behavior is intentional here. We can work around it
by using __builtin_frame_address(0) instead of a specific local
variable; that produces an address a dozen or so bytes different,
in my testing, but we don't care about such a small difference.
Maybe someday a compiler lacking that function will start to issue
a similar warning, but we'll worry about that when it happens.
Patch by me, per a suggestion from Andres Freund. Back-patch to
v12, which is as far back as the patch will go without some pain.
(Recently-established project policy would permit a back-patch as
far as 9.2, but I'm disinclined to expend the work until GCC 12
is much more widespread.)

Currently, during UPDATE, the unchanged replica identity key attributes
are not logged separately because they are getting logged as part of the
new tuple. But if they are stored externally then the untoasted values are
not getting logged as part of the new tuple and logical replication won't
be able to replicate such UPDATEs. So we need to log such attributes as
part of the old_key_tuple during UPDATE.

In commit 1f39a1c06 I made PQisBusy consider conn->write_failed, but
that is now looking like complete brain fade. In the first place, the
logic is quite wrong: it ought to be like "and not" rather than "or".
This meant that once we'd gotten into a write_failed state, PQisBusy
would always return true, probably causing the calling application to
iterate its loop until PQconsumeInput returns a hard failure thanks
to connection loss. That's not what we want: the intended behavior
is to return an error PGresult, which the application probably has
much cleaner support for.
But in the second place, checking write_failed here seems like the
wrong thing anyway. The idea of the write_failed mechanism is to
postpone handling of a write failure until we've read all we can from
the server; so that flag should not interfere with input-processing
behavior. (Compare 7247e243a.) What we *should* check for is
status = CONNECTION_BAD, ie, socket already closed. (Most places that
close the socket don't touch asyncStatus, but they do reset status.)
This primarily ensures that if PQisBusy() returns true then there is
an open socket, which is assumed by several call sites in our own
code, and probably other applications too.
While at it, fix a nearby thinko in libpq's my_sock_write: we should
only consult errno for res < 0, not res == 0. This is harmless since
pqsecure_raw_write would force errno to zero in such a case, but it
still could confuse readers.

createplan.c tries to save a runtime projection step by specifying
a scan plan node's output as being exactly the table's columns, or
index's columns in the case of an index-only scan, if there is not a
reason to do otherwise. This logic did not previously pay attention
to whether an index's columns are returnable. That worked, sort of
accidentally, until commit 9a3ddeb51 taught setrefs.c to reject plans
that try to read a non-returnable column. I have no desire to loosen
setrefs.c's new check, so instead adjust use_physical_tlist() to not
try to optimize this way when there are non-returnable column(s).
Per report from Ryan Kelly. Like the previous patch, back-patch
to all supported branches.

"pg_ctl stop/restart" checked that the postmaster PID is valid just
once, as a side-effect of sending the stop signal, and then would
wait-till-timeout for the postmaster.pid file to go away. This
neglects the case wherein the postmaster dies uncleanly after we
signal it. Similarly, once "pg_ctl promote" has sent the signal,
it'd wait for the corresponding on-disk state change to occur
even if the postmaster dies.
I'm not sure how we've managed not to notice this problem, but it
seems to explain slow execution of the 017_shm.pl test script on AIX
since commit 4fdbf9af5, which added a speculative "pg_ctl stop" with
the idea of making real sure that the postmaster isn't there. In the
test steps that kill-9 and then restart the postmaster, it's possible
to get past the initial signal attempt before kill() stops working
for the doomed postmaster. If that happens, pg_ctl waited till
PGCTLTIMEOUT before giving up ... and the buildfarm's AIX members
have that set very high.
To fix, include a "kill(pid, 0)" test (similar to what
postmaster_is_alive uses) in these wait loops, so that we'll
give up immediately if the postmaster PID disappears.
While here, I chose to refactor those loops out of where they were.
do_stop() and do_restart() can perfectly well share one copy of the
wait-for-stop loop, and it seems desirable to put a similar function
beside that for wait-for-promote.
Back-patch to all supported versions, since pg_ctl's wait logic
is substantially identical in all, and we're seeing the slow test
behavior in all branches.
