Change some errdetail() to errdetail_internal()
This prevents marking the argument string for translation for gettext,
and it also prevents the given string (which is already translated) from
being translated at runtime.

Also, mark the strings used as arguments to check_rolespec_name for
translation.

Backpatch all the way back as appropriate.  None of this is caught by
any tests (necessarily so), so I verified it manually.

Tom Lane 5197630945 Fix tupdesc lifespan bug with AfterTriggersTableData.storeslot.
Commit 25936fd46 adjusted things so that the "storeslot" we use
for remapping trigger tuples would have adequate lifespan, but it
neglected to consider the lifespan of the tuple descriptor that
the slot depends on.  It turns out that in at least some cases, the
tupdesc we are passing is a refcounted tupdesc, and the refcount for
the slot's reference can get assigned to a resource owner having
different lifespan than the slot does.  That leads to an error like
"tupdesc reference 0x7fdef236a1b8 is not owned by resource owner
SubTransaction".  Worse, because of a second oversight in the same
commit, we'd try to free the same tupdesc refcount again while
cleaning up after that error, leading to recursive errors and an
"ERRORDATA_STACK_SIZE exceeded" PANIC.

To fix the initial problem, let's just make a non-refcounted copy
of the tupdesc we're supposed to use.  That seems likely to guard
against additional problems, since there's no strong reason for
this code to assume that what it's given is a refcounted tupdesc;
in which case there's an independent hazard of the tupdesc having
shorter lifespan than the slot does.  (I didn't bother trying to
free said copy, since it should go away anyway when the (sub)
transaction context is cleaned up.)

The other issue can be fixed by making the code added to
AfterTriggerFreeQuery work like the rest of that function, ie be
sure that it doesn't try to free the same slot twice in the event
of recursive error cleanup.

While here, also clean up minor stylistic issues in the test case
added by 25936fd46: don't use "create or replace function", as any
name collision within the tests is likely to have ill effects
that that won't mask; and don't use function names as generic as
trigger_function1, especially if you're not going to drop them
at the end of the test stanza.

Per bug #17607 from Thomas Mc Kay.  Back-patch to v12, as the
previous fix was.

Tom Lane 9a2267bcfc Suppress more variable-set-but-not-used warnings from clang 15.
Mop up assorted set-but-not-used warnings in the back branches.
This includes back-patching relevant fixes from commit 152c9f7b8
the rest of the way, but there are also several cases that did not
appear in HEAD.  Some of those we'd fixed in a retail way but not
back-patched, and others I think just got rewritten out of existence
during nearby refactoring.

While here, also back-patch b1980f6d0 (PL/Tcl: Fix compiler warnings

with modern Tcl.

Per project policy, this is a candidate for back-patching into
out-of-support branches: it suppresses annoying compiler warnings
but changes no behavior.  Hence, back-patch all the way to 9.2.

Tom Lane 52a5fd5b9f Disable -Wdeprecated-non-prototype in the back branches.
There doesn't seem to be any good ABI-preserving way to silence
clang 15's -Wdeprecated-non-prototype warnings about our tree-walk
APIs.  While we've fixed it properly in HEAD, the only way to not
see hundreds of these in the back branches is to disable the
warnings.  We're not going to do anything about them, so we might
as well disable them.

I noticed that we also get some of these warnings about fmgr.c's
support for V0 function call convention, in branches before v10
where we removed that.  That's another area we aren't going to
change, so turning off the warning seems fine for that too.

Per project policy, this is a candidate for back-patching into

Tom Lane f38a0bde21 Suppress variable-set-but-not-used warnings from clang 15.
clang 15+ will issue a set-but-not-used warning when the only
use of a variable is in autoincrements (e.g., "foo++;").
That's perfectly sensible, but it detects a few more cases that
we'd not noticed before.  Silence the warnings with our usual
methods, such as PG_USED_FOR_ASSERTS_ONLY, or in one case by
actually removing a useless variable.

One thing that we can't nicely get rid of is that with %pure-parser,
Bison emits "yynerrs" as a local variable that falls foul of this
warning.  To silence those, I inserted "(void) yynerrs;" in the
top-level productions of affected grammars.

Per recently-established project policy, this is a candidate
for back-patching into out-of-support branches: it suppresses
annoying compiler warnings but changes no behavior.  Hence,
back-patch to 9.5, which is as far as these patches go without
issues.  (A preliminary check shows that the prior branches
need some other set-but-not-used cleanups too, so I'll leave
them for another day.)

Tom Lane adc26e0e88 Future-proof the recursion inside ExecShutdownNode().
The API contract for planstate_tree_walker() callbacks is that they
take a PlanState pointer and a context pointer.  Somebody figured
they could save a couple lines of code by ignoring that, and passing
ExecShutdownNode itself as the walker even though it has but one
argument.  Somewhat remarkably, we've gotten away with that so far.
However, it seems clear that the upcoming C2x standard means to
forbid such cases, and compilers that actively break such code
likely won't be far behind.  So spend the extra few lines of code
to do it honestly with a separate walker function.

In HEAD, we might as well go further and remove ExecShutdownNode's
useless return value.  I left that as-is in back branches though,
to forestall complaints about ABI breakage.

Back-patch, with the thought that this might become of practical
importance before our stable branches are all out of service.
It doesn't seem to be fixing any live bug on any currently known
platform, however.

Tom Lane b3b88d7480 Improve plpgsql's ability to handle arguments declared as RECORD.
Treat arguments declared as RECORD as if that were a polymorphic type
(which it is, sort of), in that we substitute the actual argument type
while forming the function cache lookup key.  This allows the specific
composite type to be known in some cases where it was not before,
at the cost of making a separate function cache entry for each named
composite type that's passed to the function during a session.  The
particular symptom discussed in bug #17610 could be solved in other
more-efficient ways, but only at the cost of considerable development
work, and there are other cases where we'd still fail without this.

Per bug #17610 from Martin Jurča.  Back-patch to v11 where we first
allowed plpgsql functions to be declared as taking type RECORD.

Etsuro Fujita 87fd3c9025 postgres_fdw: Avoid 'variable not found in subplan target list' error.
The tlist of the EvalPlanQual outer plan for a ForeignScan node is
adjusted to produce a tuple whose descriptor matches the scan tuple slot
for the ForeignScan node.  But in the case where the outer plan contains
an extra Sort node, if the new tlist contained columns required only for
evaluating PlaceHolderVars or columns required only for evaluating local
conditions, this would cause setrefs.c to fail with the error.

The cause of this is that when creating the outer plan by injecting the
Sort node into an alternative local join plan that could emit such extra
columns as well, we fail to arrange for the outer plan to propagate them
up through the Sort node, causing setrefs.c to fail to match up them in
the new tlist to what is available from the outer plan.  Repair.

Peter Eisentraut 7dd9b469bc Expand palloc/pg_malloc API for more type safety
This adds additional variants of palloc, pg_malloc, etc. that
encapsulate common usage patterns and provide more type safety.

Specifically, this adds palloc_object(), palloc_array(), and
repalloc_array(), which take the type name of the object to be
allocated as its first argument and cast the return as a pointer to
that type.  There are also palloc0_object() and palloc0_array()
variants for initializing with zero, and pg_malloc_*() variants of all
of the above.

Inspired by the talloc library.

This is backpatched from master so that future backpatchable code can
make use of these APIs.  This patch by itself does not contain any

Tom Lane 23fe89a612 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.)

Tom Lane 4d7c0fe51d Further fixes for MULTIEXPR_SUBLINK fix.
Some more things I didn't think about in commits 3f7323cbb et al:

MULTIEXPR_SUBLINK subplans might have been converted to initplans
instead of regular subplans, in which case they won't show up in
the modified targetlist.  Fortunately, this would only happen if
they have no input parameters, which means that the problem we
originally needed to fix can't happen with them.  Therefore, there's
no need to clone their output parameters, and thus it doesn't hurt
that we'll fail to see them in the first pass over the targetlist.
Nonetheless, this complicates matters greatly, because now we have
to distinguish output Params of initplans (which shouldn't get
renumbered) from those of regular subplans (which should).
This also breaks the simplistic scheme I used of assuming that the
subplans found in the targetlist have consecutive subLinkIds.
We really can't avoid the need to know the subplans' subLinkIds in
this code.  To fix that, add subLinkId as the last field of SubPlan.
We can get away with that change in back branches because SubPlan
nodes will never be stored in the catalogs, and there's no ABI
break for external code that might be looking at the existing
fields of SubPlan.

Secondly, rewriteTargetListIU might have rolled up multiple
FieldStores or SubscriptingRefs into one targetlist entry,
breaking the assumption that there's at most one Param to fix
per targetlist entry.  (That assumption is OK I think in the
ruleutils.c code I stole the logic from in 18f51083c, because
that only deals with pre-rewrite query trees.  But it's
definitely not OK here.)  Abandon that shortcut and just do a
full tree walk on the targetlist to ensure we find all the
Params we have to change.

Per bug #17606 from Andre Lin.  As before, only v10-v13 need the
patch.

There are now anecdotal reports of this error causing problems that were

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.

David Rowley f249f1026f 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 ec20545b20 Port regress-python3-mangle.mk to Solaris "sed", redux.
Per experimentation and buildfarm failures, Solaris' "sed"
has got some kind of problem with regexes that use both '*'
and '[[:alpha:]]'.  We can work around that by replacing
'[[:alpha:]]' with '[a-zA-Z]', which is plenty good enough
for our purposes, especially since this is only needed in
long-stable branches.

I chose to flat-out remove the second pattern of this sort,
's/except \([a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z.]*\), *\([a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z]*\):/except \1 as \2:/g'
because we haven't needed it since 8.4.

Follow-on to c3556f6fa, which probably missed catching this
because the problematic pattern was already gone when that
patch was written.

Patch v10-v12 only, as the problem manifests only there.
We have a line of dead code in v13-v14, which isn't worth
changing, and the whole mess is gone as of v15.

Tom Lane 8fc6b9635d 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 a53e0ea782 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 68bfe36c51 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 3c0ef08327 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.

Tom Lane f8e70cfb8f Repair rare failure of MULTIEXPR_SUBLINK subplans in inherited updates.
Prior to v14, if we have a MULTIEXPR SubPlan (that is, use of the syntax
UPDATE ... SET (c1, ...) = (SELECT ...)) in an UPDATE with an inherited
or partitioned target table, inheritance_planner() will clone the
targetlist and therefore also the MULTIEXPR SubPlan and the Param nodes
referencing it for each child target table.  Up to now, we've allowed
all the clones to share the underlying subplan as well as the output
parameter IDs -- that is, the runtime ParamExecData slots.  That
technique is borrowed from the far older code that supports initplans,
and it works okay in that case because the cloned SubPlan nodes are
essentially identical.  So it doesn't matter which one of the clones
the shared ParamExecData.execPlan field might point to.

However, this fails to hold for MULTIEXPR SubPlans, because they can
have nonempty "args" lists (values to be passed into the subplan), and
those lists could get mutated to different states in the various clones.
In the submitted reproducer, as well as the test case added here, one
clone contains Vars with varno OUTER_VAR where another has INNER_VAR,
because the child tables are respectively on the outer or inner side of
the join.  Sharing the execPlan pointer can result in trying to evaluate
an args list that doesn't match the local execution state, with mayhem
ensuing.  The result often is to trigger consistency checks in the
executor, but I believe this could end in a crash or incorrect updates.

To fix, assign new Param IDs to each of the cloned SubPlans, so that
they don't share ParamExecData slots at runtime.  It still seems fine
for the clones to share the underlying subplan, and extra ParamExecData
slots are cheap enough that this fix shouldn't cost much.

This has been busted since we invented MULTIEXPR SubPlans in 9.5.
Probably the lack of previous reports is because query plans in which
the different clones of a MULTIEXPR mutate to effectively-different
states are pretty rare.  There's no issue in v14 and later, because
without inheritance_planner() there's never a reason to clone
MULTIEXPR SubPlans.

Per bug #17596 from Andre Lin.  Patch v10-v13 only.

Tom Lane 599a487b09 Defend against stack overrun in a few more places.
SplitToVariants() in the ispell code, lseg_inside_poly() in geo_ops.c,
and regex_selectivity_sub() in selectivity estimation could recurse
until stack overflow; fix by adding check_stack_depth() calls.
So could next() in the regex compiler, but that case is better fixed by
converting its tail recursion to a loop.  (We probably get better code
that way too, since next() can now be inlined into its sole caller.)

There remains a reachable stack overrun in the Turkish stemmer, but
we'll need some advice from the Snowball people about how to fix that.

Per report from Egor Chindyaskin and Alexander Lakhin.  These mistakes
are old, so back-patch to all supported branches.

Tom Lane 7951e0d7af Doc: document possible need to raise kernel's somaxconn limit.
On fast machines, it's possible for applications such as pgbench
to issue connection requests so quickly that the postmaster's
listen queue overflows in the kernel, resulting in unexpected
failures (with not-very-helpful error messages).  Most modern OSes
allow the queue size to be increased, so document how to do that.
