psql backslash commands that deal with file or directory names require
quotes around those that have spaces, single quotes, or backslashes.
However, tab-completing such names does not provide said quotes, and is
thus almost useless with them.
This patch fixes the problem by having a wrapper function around
rl_filename_completion_function that dequotes on input and quotes on
output. This eases dealing with such names.

We already skip rewriting the table in these cases, but we still force a
whole table scan to validate the data. This can be skipped, and thus
we can make the whole ALTER TABLE operation just do some catalog touches
instead of scanning the table, when these two conditions hold:
(a) Old and new pg_constraint.conpfeqop match exactly. This is actually
stronger than needed; we could loosen things by way of operator
families, but it'd require a lot more effort.
(b) The functions, if any, implementing a cast from the foreign type to
the primary opcintype are the same. For this purpose, we can consider a
binary coercion equivalent to an exact type match. When the opcintype
is polymorphic, require that the old and new foreign types match
exactly. (Since ri_triggers.c does use the executor, the stronger check
for polymorphic types is no mere future-proofing. However, no core type
exercises its necessity.)

Committer's note: catalog version bumped due to change of the Constraint
node. I can't actually find any way to have such a node in a stored
rule, but given that we have "out" support for them, better be safe.
In commit 4016bdef8a I fixed a bunch of
ginxlog.c bugs having to do with not handling XLogReadBuffer failures
correctly. However, in ginRedoUpdateMetapage and ginRedoDeleteListPages,
I unaccountably thought that failure to read the metapage would be
impossible and just put in an elog(PANIC) call. This is of course wrong:
failure is exactly what will happen if the index got dropped (or rebuilt)
between creation of the WAL record and the crash we're trying to recover
from. I believe this explains Nicholas Wilson's recent report of these
errors getting reached.
Also, fix memory leak in forgetIncompleteSplit. This wasn't of much
concern when the code was written, but in a long-running standby server
page split records could be expected to accumulate indefinitely.
Back-patch to 8.4 --- before that, GIN didn't have a metapage.
Claiming that the typevar argument to DefineCompositeType() is const
was a plain lie. A similar case in DefineVirtualRelation() was
already changed in passing in commit 1575fbcb. Also clean up the now
unnecessary casts that used to cast away the const.
Most people won't read them individually anyway, it's an easy way to find
them, and it's a lot of duplicated information if they are kept in two
different places.
This makes it easier to match a column name with the description of it,
and makes it possible to add more detailed documentation in the future.
This patch does not add that extra documentation at this point, only
the structure required for it.
Modeled on the changes already done to pg_stat_activity.
The "uncomplicated" case isn't materially less complicated than the full
case, certainly not enough so to justify duplicating nearly 500 lines
of code. The only extra work being done in the full path is zaptreesubs,
which is very cheap compared to everything else being done here, and
besides that I'm less than convinced that it's not needed in some cases
even without backrefs.
In nested sub-regex trees, lower-level nodes created DFAs and then
destroyed them again before exiting, which is a bit dumb considering that
the recursive search is likely to call those nodes again later. Instead
cache each created DFA until the end of pg_regexec(). This is basically a
space for time tradeoff, in that it might increase the maximum memory
usage. However, in most regex patterns there are not all that many subre
nodes, so not that many DFAs --- and in any case, the peak usage occurs
when reaching the bottom recursion level, and except for alternation cases
that's going to be the same anyway.
Apparently some primordial version of Spencer's engine needed cdissect()
and child functions to be able to continue matching from a previous
position when re-called. That is dead code, though, since trivial
inspection shows that cdissect can never be entered without having
previously done zapmem which resets the relevant retry counter. I have
also verified experimentally that no case in the Tcl regression tests
reaches cdissect with a nonzero retry value. Accordingly, remove that
logic. This doesn't really save any noticeable number of cycles in itself,
but it is one step towards making dissect() and cdissect() equivalent,
which will allow removing hundreds of lines of near-duplicated code.
Since struct subre's "retry" field is no longer particularly related to
any kind of retry, rename it to "id". As of this commit it's only used
for identifying a subre node in debug printouts, so you might think we
should get rid of the field entirely; but I have a plan for another use.
Cases where a back-reference is part of a larger subexpression that
is quantified have never worked in Spencer's regex engine, because
he used a compile-time transformation that neglected the need to
check the back-reference match in iterations before the last one.
(That was okay for capturing parens, and we still do it if the
regex has *only* capturing parens ... but it's not okay for backrefs.)
To make this work properly, we have to add an "iteration" node type
to the regex engine's vocabulary of sub-regex nodes. Since this is a
moderately large change with a fair risk of introducing new bugs of its
own, apply to HEAD only, even though it's a fix for a longstanding bug.
pg_dump was incautious about sanitizing object names that are emitted
within SQL comments in its output script. A name containing a newline
would at least render the script syntactically incorrect. Maliciously
crafted object names could present a SQL injection risk when the script
is reloaded.

Security: CVE-2012-0868
Both libpq and the backend would truncate a common name extracted from a
certificate at 32 bytes. Replace that fixed-size buffer with dynamically
allocated string so that there is no hard limit. While at it, remove the
code for extracting peer_dn, which we weren't using for anything; and
don't bother to store peer_cn longer than we need it in libpq.
This limit was not so terribly unreasonable when the code was written,
because we weren't using the result for anything critical, just logging it.
But now that there are options for checking the common name against the
server host name (in libpq) or using it as the user's name (in the server),
this could result in undesirable failures. In the worst case it even seems
possible to spoof a server name or user name, if the correct name is
exactly 32 bytes and the attacker can persuade a trusted CA to issue a
certificate in which that string is a prefix of the certificate's common
name. (To exploit this for a server name, he'd also have to send the
connection astray via phony DNS data or some such.) The case that this is
a realistic security threat is a bit thin, but nonetheless we'll treat it
as one.
Back-patch to 8.4. Older releases contain the faulty code, but it's not
a security problem because the common name wasn't used for anything
interesting.

Security: CVE-2012-0867
This check was overlooked when we added function execute permissions to the
system years ago. For an ordinary trigger function it's not a big deal,
since trigger functions execute with the permissions of the table owner,
so they couldn't do anything the user issuing the CREATE TRIGGER couldn't
have done anyway. However, if a trigger function is SECURITY DEFINER,
that is not the case. The lack of checking would allow another user to
install it on his own table and then invoke it with, essentially, forged
input data; which the trigger function is unlikely to realize, so it might
do something undesirable, for instance insert false entries in an audit log
table.

Since the current version is 1.1, the 1.0 file isn't really needed. We do
need the 1.0--1.1 upgrade file, so people on 1.0 can upgrade.
Per recent discussion on pgsql-hackers.
This allows changing the location of the files that were previously
hard-coded to server.crt, server.key, root.crt, root.crl.
server.crt and server.key continue to be the default settings and are
thus required to be present by default if SSL is enabled. But the
settings for the server-side CA and CRL are now empty by default, and
if they are set, the files are required to be present. This replaces
the previous behavior of ignoring the functionality if the files were
not found.
When "vacuuming" a single btree page by removing LP_DEAD tuples, we are not
actually within a vacuum operation, but rather in an ordinary insertion
process that could well be running concurrently with a vacuum. So clearing
the cycleid is incorrect, and could cause the concurrent vacuum to miss
removing tuples that it needs to remove. This is a longstanding bug
introduced by commit e6284649b9 of
2006-07-25. I believe it explains Maxim Boguk's recent report of index
corruption, and probably some other previously unexplained reports.
In 9.0 and up this is a one-line fix; before that we need to introduce a
flag to tell _bt_delitems what to do.
First, as noted by Itagaki Takahiro, a datum of type JSON doesn't
need to be escaped. Second, ensure that numeric output not in
the form of a legal JSON number is quoted and escaped.
The syntax "\n*", that is a backref with a * quantifier directly applied
to it, has never worked correctly in Spencer's library. This has been an
open bug in the Tcl bug tracker since 2005:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1115587&group_id=10894&atid=110894
The core of the problem is in parseqatom(), which first changes "\n*" to
"\n+|" and then applies repeat() to the NFA representing the backref atom.
repeat() thinks that any arc leading into its "rp" argument is part of the
sub-NFA to be repeated. Unfortunately, since parseqatom() already created
the arc that was intended to represent the empty bypass around "\n+", this
arc gets moved too, so that it now leads into the state loop created by
repeat(). Thus, what was supposed to be an "empty" bypass gets turned into
something that represents zero or more repetitions of the NFA representing
the backref atom. In the original example, in place of
^([bc])\1*$
we now have something that acts like
^([bc])(\1+|[bc]*)$
At runtime, the branch involving the actual backref fails, as it's supposed
to, but then the other branch succeeds anyway.
We could no doubt fix this by some rearrangement of the operations in
parseqatom(), but that code is plenty ugly already, and what's more the
whole business of converting "x*" to "x+|" probably needs to go away to fix
another problem I'll mention in a moment. Instead, this patch suppresses
the *-conversion when the target is a simple backref atom, leaving the case
of m == 0 to be handled at runtime. This makes the patch in regcomp.c a
one-liner, at the cost of having to tweak cbrdissect() a little. In the
event I went a bit further than that and rewrote cbrdissect() to check all
the string-length-related conditions before it starts comparing characters.
It seems a bit stupid to possibly iterate through many copies of an
n-character backreference, only to fail at the end because the target
string's length isn't a multiple of n --- we could have found that out
before starting. The existing coding could only be a win if integer
division is hugely expensive compared to character comparison, but I don't
know of any modern machine where that might be true.
This does not fix all the problems with quantified back-references. In
particular, the code is still broken for back-references that appear within
a larger expression that is quantified (so that direct insertion of the
quantification limits into the BACKREF node doesn't apply). I think fixing
that will take some major surgery on the NFA code, specifically introducing
an explicit iteration node type instead of trying to transform iteration
into concatenation of modified regexps.
Back-patch to all supported branches. In HEAD, also add a regression test
case for this. (It may seem a bit silly to create a regression test file
for just one test case; but I'm expecting that we will soon import a whole
bunch of regex regression tests from Tcl, so might as well create the
infrastructure now.)
While this doesn't save a huge amount of runtime, it still seems worth
doing, especially since I realized that the data copying I did in my first
draft was quite unnecessary. In this version, once we have the results
cached, getting them back for re-use is really very cheap.
Also, remove the hard-wired limitation to not consider wctype.h results for
character codes above 255. It turns out that we can't push the limit as
far up as I'd originally hoped, because the regex colormap code is not
efficient enough to cope very well with character classes containing many
thousand letters, which a Unicode locale is entirely capable of producing.
Still, we can push it up to U+7FF (which I chose as the limit of 2-byte
UTF8 characters), which will at least make Eastern Europeans happy pending
a better solution. Thus, this commit resolves the specific complaint in
bug #6457, but not the more general issue that letters of non-western
alphabets are mostly not recognized as matching [[:alpha:]].
Create src/backend/regex/README to hold an implementation overview of
the regex package, and fill it in with some preliminary notes about
the code's DFA/NFA processing and colormap management. Much more to
do there of course.
Also, improve some code comments around the colormap and cvec code.
No functional changes except to add one missing assert.
Some line feeds are added to target lists and from lists to make
them more readable. By default they wrap at 80 columns if possible,
but the wrap column is also selectable - if 0 it wraps after every
item.

Sync our regex code with upstream changes since last time we did this,
which was Tcl 8.5.0 (see commit df1e965e12).
There are no functional changes here; the main point is just to lay down
a commit-log marker that somebody has looked at this recently, and to do
what we can to keep the two codebases comparable.
The array intersection code would give wrong results if the first entry of
the correct output array would be "1". (I think only this value could be
at risk, since the previous word would always be a lower-bound entry with
that fixed value.)
Problem spotted by Julien Rouhaud, initial patch by Guillaume Lelarge,
