When we loop back to the top of doCustom after processing a backslash
command, we must reset the "now" timestamp, because that's used to
calculate the time spent executing the previous command.
Report and fix by Fabien Coelho. Backpatch to 9.5, where this was broken.
The current version is adding a spurious -pthread option on some Darwin
systems that don't need it, which leads to a bunch of "unrecognized option
'-pthread'" warnings. There is a proposed fix for that in the upstream
autoconf archive's bug tracker, see https://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?8186.
This commit updates our version of ax_pthread.m4 to the "draft2" version
proposed there by Daniel Richard G. I'm using our buildfarm to help Daniel
to test this, before he commits this to the upstream repository.
Per a suggestion from Tom Lane. Back-patch to 9.0 (all supported
versions). While only 9.4 and up have code known to elicit this
compiler bug, we were disabling inlining by accident until commit
43d89a23d5.
The reverted changes did not narrow the semantic gap between the MSVC
build system and the GNU make build system. For targets old and new
that run multiple suites (contribcheck, modulescheck, tapcheck), restore
vcregress.pl to mimicking "make -k" rather than the "make -S" default.
Lack of "-k" would be more burdensome than lack of "-S". Keep changes
reflecting contemporary changes to the GNU make build system, and keep
updates to Makefile parsing. Keep the loss of --psqldir in "check" and
"ecpgcheck" targets; it had been a no-op when used alongside
--temp-install. No log message mentioned any of the reverted changes.
Based on a germ by Michael Paquier. Back-patch to 9.5.
This code relied on knowing exactly where in the source tree temporary
installations might appear. A reasonable hacker may not think to update
this code when adding use of a temporary installation, making it
fragile. Observe that commit 9fa8b0ee90
broke it unnoticed, and commit dcae5facca
fixed it unnoticed. Back-patch to 9.5 only; use of temporary
installations is unlikely to change in released versions.
Policy USING and WITH CHECK expressions were using EXPR_KIND_WHERE for
parse analysis, which results in inappropriate ERROR messages when
the expression contains unsupported constructs such as aggregates.
Create a new ParseExprKind called EXPR_KIND_POLICY and tailor the
related messages to fit.

A Salesforce colleague of mine griped that the regression tests don't
exercise EvalPlanQualFetchRowMarks() and allied routines. Which is
a fair complaint. Add test cases that go through the REFERENCE and COPY
code paths. Unfortunately we don't have sufficient infrastructure right
now to exercise the FDW code path in the isolation tests, but this is
surely better than before.
AlterPolicy() and CreatePolicy() lacked their respective hook invocations.

On Windows, use listen_address=127.0.0.1 to allow TCP connections. We were
already using "pg_regress --config-auth" to set up HBA appropriately. The
standard_initdb helper function now sets up the server's
unix_socket_directories or listen_addresses in the config file, so that
they don't need to be specified in the pg_ctl command line anymore. That
way, the pg_ctl invocations in test programs don't need to differ between
Windows and Unix.
Add another helper function to configure the server's pg_hba.conf to allow
replication connections. The configuration is done similarly to "pg_regress
--config-auth": trust on domain sockets on Unix, and SSPI authentication on
Windows.
Replace calls to "cat" and "touch" programs with built-in perl code, as
those programs don't normally exist on Windows.
Add instructions in the docs on how to install IPC::Run on Windows. Adjust
vcregress.pl to not replace PERL5LIB completely in vcregress.pl, because
otherwise cannot install IPC::Run in a non-standard location easily.

This option specifies a replication slot for WAL streaming (-X stream),
so that there can be continuous replication slot use between WAL
streaming during the base backup and the start of regular streaming
replication.

When DefineQueryRewrite() is about to convert a table to a view, it checks
the table for features unavailable to views. For example, it rejects tables
having triggers. It omits to reject tables having relrowsecurity or a
pg_policy record. Fix that. To faciliate the repair, invent
relation_has_policies() which indicates the presence of policies on a
relation even when row security is disabled for that relation.

Although initdb has long discouraged use of a filesystem mount-point
directory as a PG data directory, this point was covered nowhere in the
user-facing documentation. Also, with the popularity of pg_upgrade,
we really need to recommend that the PG user own not only the data
directory but its parent directory too. (Without a writable parent
directory, operations such as "mv data data.old" fail immediately.
pg_upgrade itself doesn't do that, but wrapper scripts for it often do.)
Hence, adjust the "Creating a Database Cluster" section to address
these points. I also took the liberty of wordsmithing the discussion
of NFS a bit.
These considerations aren't by any means new, so back-patch to all
supported branches.
The previous code resulted in memory access beyond the path bounds. The
cure is to move it into a code branch that checks the value of lex_level
is within the correct bounds.
Bug reported and diagnosed by Piotr Stefaniak.
Don't print a WARNING if we get ESRCH from a kill() that's attempting
to cancel an autovacuum worker. It's possible (and has been seen in the
buildfarm) that the worker is already gone by the time we are able to
execute the kill, in which case the failure is harmless. About the only
plausible reason for reporting such cases would be to help debug corrupted
lock table contents, but this is hardly likely to be the most important
symptom if that happens. Moreover issuing a WARNING might scare users
more than is warranted.
Also, since sending a signal to an autovacuum worker is now entirely a
routine thing, and the worker will log the query cancel on its end anyway,
reduce the message saying we're doing that from LOG to DEBUG1 level.
Very minor cosmetic cleanup as well.
Since the main practical reason for doing this is to avoid unnecessary
buildfarm failures, back-patch to all active branches.
As pointed out by Tom, since HEAD has progressed beyond 9.5 in terms of
its catalog, we need to be sure catversion of HEAD is advanced beyond
that of 9.5. Corrects my mistake in the pg_stats view commit cfa928ff.
The pg_stats view is supposed to be restricted to only show rows
about tables the user can read. However, it sometimes can leak
information which could not otherwise be seen when row level security
is enabled. Fix that by not showing pg_stats rows to users that would
be subject to RLS on the table the row is related to. This is done
by creating/using the newly introduced SQL visible function,
row_security_active().
Along the way, clean up three call sites of check_enable_rls(). The second
argument of that function should only be specified as other than
InvalidOid when we are checking as a different user than the current one,
as in when querying through a view. These sites were passing GetUserId()
instead of InvalidOid, which can cause the function to return incorrect
results if the current user has the BYPASSRLS privilege and row_security
has been set to OFF.
Additionally fix a bug causing RI Trigger error messages to unintentionally
leak information when RLS is enabled, and other minor cleanup and
improvements. Also add WITH (security_barrier) to the definition of pg_stats.
Bumped CATVERSION due to new SQL functions and pg_stats view definition.

While postgres' use of SSL renegotiation is a good idea in theory, it
turned out to not work well in practice. The specification and openssl's
implementation of it have lead to several security issues. Postgres' use
of renegotiation also had its share of bugs.
Additionally OpenSSL has a bunch of bugs around renegotiation, reported
and open for years, that regularly lead to connections breaking with
obscure error messages. We tried increasingly complex workarounds to get
around these bugs, but we didn't find anything complete.
Since these connection breakages often lead to hard to debug problems,
e.g. spuriously failing base backups and significant latency spikes when
synchronous replication is used, we have decided to change the default
setting for ssl renegotiation to 0 (disabled) in the released
backbranches and remove it entirely in 9.5 and master.

Backpatch: 9.5 and master, 9.0-9.4 get a different patch
This code was originally written as part of parallel query effort, but
it seems to have independent value, because if we make one decision
about where to get a PGPROC when we allocate and then put it back on a
different list at backend-exit time, bad things happen. This isn't
just a theoretical risk; we fixed an actual problem of this type in
commit e280c630a8.
join_clause_is_movable_into() is approximate, in the sense that it might
sometimes return "false" when actually it would be valid to push the given
join clause down to the specified level. This is okay ... but there was
an Assert in get_joinrel_parampathinfo() that's only safe if the answers
are always exact. Comment out the Assert, and add a bunch of commentary
to clarify what's going on.
Per fuzz testing by Andreas Seltenreich. The added regression test is
a pretty silly query, but it's based on his crasher example.
Back-patch to 9.2 where the faulty logic was introduced.
This was broken in 1bc90f7a, which removed the thread-emulation. With modest
-j and -c settings the result were usually close enough that you wouldn't
notice it easily, but with a high enough thread count it would access
uninitialized memory and crash.
Per report from Andres Freund offlist.
To avoid a race condition where the relation being COPY'd could be
changed into a view or otherwise modified, keep the original lock
on the relation. Further, fully qualify the relation when building
the query up.
Also remove the poorly thought-out Assert() and check the entire
relationOids list as, post-RLS, there can certainly be multiple
relations involved and the planner does not guarantee their ordering.
Per discussion with Noah and Andres.
Back-patch to 9.5 where RLS was introduced.
Fix additional bogosity in commit 9029f4b374. Include the
BackendSslStatusBuffer in the BackendStatusShmemSize calculation,
avoid ugly and error-prone casts to char* and back, put related
code stanzas into a consistent order (and fix a couple of previous
instances of that sin). All cosmetic except for the size oversight.
On some platforms, notably ARM and PowerPC, 'char' is unsigned by

It does currently, and I don't see us changing that any time soon, but we

XLogReaderFree failed to free the per-block data buffers, when they

In GIN, an all-zeros page would be leaked forever, and never reused. Just
add them to the FSM in vacuum, and they will be reinitialized when grabbed
from the FSM. On master and 9.5, attempting to access the page's opaque
struct also caused an assertion failure, although that was otherwise
harmless.
Reported by Jeff Janes. Backpatch to all supported versions.
SP-GiST initialized an all-zeros page at vacuum, but that was not
WAL-logged, which is not safe. You might get a torn page write, when it gets
flushed to disk, and end-up with a half-initialized index page. To fix,
leave it in the all-zeros state, and add it to the FSM. It will be
initialized when reused. Also don't set the page-deleted flag when recycling
an empty page. That was also not WAL-logged, and a torn write of that would
cause the page to have an invalid checksum.
Backpatch to 9.2, where SP-GiST indexes were added.
That was otherwise harmless, but tripped the new assertion in
PageGetSpecialPointer().
Reported by Amit Langote. Backpatch to 9.5, where the assertion was added.
There is no full discussion of speculative insertions in the executor

I missed a restriction that commit f4abd0241d
should have enforced: we can't pull up an empty-FROM subquery if it's under
an outer join, because then we'd need to wrap its output columns in
PlaceHolderVars. As the code currently stands, the PHVs end up with empty
relid sets, which doesn't work (and is correctly caught by an Assert).
It's possible that this could be fixed by assigning the PHVs the relid
sets of the parent FromExpr/JoinExpr, but getting that to work is more
complication than I care to add right now; indeed it's likely that
we'll never bother, since pulling up empty-FROM subqueries is a rather
marginal optimization anyway.
Per report from Andreas Seltenreich. Back-patch to 9.5 where the faulty
code was added.
The planner generally expects that the estimated rowcount of any relation
is at least one row, *unless* it has been proven empty by constraint
exclusion or similar mechanisms, which is marked by installing a dummy path
as the rel's cheapest path (cf. IS_DUMMY_REL). When I split up
allpaths.c's processing of base rels into separate set_base_rel_sizes and
set_base_rel_pathlists steps, the intention was that dummy rels would get
marked as such during the "set size" step; this is what justifies an Assert
in indxpath.c's get_loop_count that other relations should either be dummy
or have positive rowcount. Unfortunately I didn't get that quite right
for append relations: if all the child rels have been proven empty then
set_append_rel_size would come up with a rowcount of zero, which is
correct, but it didn't then do set_dummy_rel_pathlist. (We would have
ended up with the right state after set_append_rel_pathlist, but that's
too late, if we generate indexpaths for some other rel first.)
In addition to fixing the actual bug, I installed an Assert enforcing this
convention in set_rel_size; that then allows simplification of a couple
of now-redundant tests for zero rowcount in set_append_rel_size.
Also, to cover the possibility that third-party FDWs have been careless
about not returning a zero rowcount estimate, apply clamp_row_est to
whatever an FDW comes up with as the rows estimate.
Per report from Andreas Seltenreich. Back-patch to 9.2. Earlier branches
did not have the separation between set_base_rel_sizes and
set_base_rel_pathlists steps, so there was no intermediate state where an
appendrel would have had inconsistent rowcount and pathlist. It's possible
that adding the Assert to set_rel_size would be a good idea in older
branches too; but since they're not under development any more, it's likely
not worth the trouble.
