Magnus Hagander 16f96c74d4 Remove ability to independently select random number generator
Remove the ability to select random number generator independently from
SSL library. Instead, use the random number generator from the SSL
library (today only OpenSSL supported) if one is configured. If no SSL
library is configured, use the platform default (which means use
CryptoAPI on Win32 and /dev/urandom on Linux).

This also restructures pg_strong_random.c to have three clearly separate
sections, one for each implementation, with two functions in each,
instead of a scattered set of ifdefs throughout the whole file.

Peter Eisentraut 8f3ec75de4 Enable Unix-domain sockets support on Windows
As of Windows 10 version 1803, Unix-domain sockets are supported on
Windows.  But it's not automatically detected by configure because it
looks for struct sockaddr_un and Windows doesn't define that.  So we
just make our own definition on Windows and override the configure
result.

Set DEFAULT_PGSOCKET_DIR to empty on Windows so by default no
Unix-domain socket is used, because there is no good standard
location.

In pg_upgrade, we have to do some extra tweaking to preserve the
existing behavior of not using Unix-domain sockets on Windows.  Adding
support would be desirable, but it needs further work, in particular a
way to select whether to use Unix-domain sockets from the command-line
or with a run-time test.

The pg_upgrade test script needs a fix.  The previous code passed
"localhost" to postgres -k, which only happened to work because
Windows used to ignore the -k argument value altogether.  We instead
need to pass an empty string to get the desired effect.

The test suites will continue to not use Unix-domain sockets on
Windows.  This requires a small tweak in pg_regress.c.  The TAP tests
don't need to be changed because they decide by the operating system
rather than HAVE_UNIX_SOCKETS.

Peter Eisentraut 0a42a2e9ce Remove win32ver.rc from version_stamp.pl
This removes another relic from the old nmake-based Windows build.
version_stamp.pl put version number information into win32ver.rc.  But
win32ver.rc already gets other version number information from the
preprocessor at build time, so it would make more sense if all version
number information would be handled in the same way and we don't have
two places that do it.

What we need for this is having the major version number and the minor
version number as separate integer symbols.  Both configure and
Solution.pm already have that logic, because they compute
PG_VERSION_NUM.  So we just keep all the logic there now.  Put the
minor version number into a new symbol PG_MINORVERSION_NUM.  Also, add
a symbol PG_MAJORVERSION_NUM, which is a number, alongside the
existing PG_MAJORVERSION, which is a string.

Peter Eisentraut 957338418b Require stdint.h
stdint.h belongs to the compiler (as opposed to inttypes.h), so by
requiring a C99 compiler we can also require stdint.h
unconditionally.  Remove configure checks and other workarounds for
it.

This also removes a few steps in the required portability adjustments
to the imported time zone code, which can be applied on the next
import.

When using GCC on a platform that is otherwise pre-C99, this will now
require at least GCC 4.5, which is the first release that supplied a
standard-conforming stdint.h if the native platform didn't have it.

Tom Lane c32704441d Add configure probe for rl_completion_suppress_quote.
I had supposed that all versions of Readline that have filename
quoting hooks also have the rl_completion_suppress_quote variable.
But it seems OpenBSD managed to find a version someplace that does
not, so we'll have to expend a separate configure probe for that.

(Light testing suggests that this version also lacks the bugs that
make it necessary to frob that variable.  Hooray!)

Tom Lane cd69ec66c8 Improve psql's tab completion for filenames.
The Readline library contains a fair amount of knowledge about how to
tab-complete filenames, but it turns out that that doesn't work too well
unless we follow its expectation that we use its filename quoting hooks
to quote and de-quote filenames.  We were trying to do such quote handling
within complete_from_files(), and that's still what we have to do if we're
using libedit, which lacks those hooks.  But for Readline, it works a lot
better if we tell Readline that single-quote is a quoting character and
then provide hooks that know the details of the quoting rules for SQL
and psql meta-commands.

Hence, resurrect the quoting hook functions that existed in the original
version of tab-complete.c (and were disabled by commit f6689a328 because
they "didn't work so well yet"), and whack on them until they do seem to
work well.

Notably, this fixes bug #16059 from Steven Winfield, who pointed out
that the previous coding would strip quote marks from filenames in SQL
COPY commands, even though they're syntactically necessary there.
Now, we not only don't do that, but we'll add a quote mark when you
tab-complete, even if you didn't type one.

Getting this to work across a range of libedit versions (and, to a
lesser extent, libreadline versions) was depressingly difficult.
It will be interesting to see whether the new regression test cases
pass everywhere in the buildfarm.

Some future patch might try to handle quoted SQL identifiers with
similar explicit quoting/dequoting logic, but that's for another day.

Patch by me, reviewed by Peter Eisentraut.

Michael Paquier 7d0bcb0477 Fix handling of OpenSSL's SSL_clear_options
This function is supported down to OpenSSL 0.9.8, which is the oldest
version supported since 593d4e4 (from Postgres 10 onwards), and is used
since e3bdb2d (from 11 onwards).  It is defined as a macro from OpenSSL
0.9.8 to 1.0.2, and as a function in 1.1.0 and newer versions.  However,
the configure check present is only adapted for functions.  So, even if
the code would be able to compile, configure fails to detect the macro,
causing it to be ignored when compiling the code with OpenSSL from 0.9.8
to 1.0.2.

The code needs a configure check as per a364dfa, which has fixed a
compilation issue with a past version of LibreSSL in NetBSD 5.1.  On
HEAD, just remove the configure check as the last release of NetBSD 5 is
from 2014 (and we have no more buildfarm members for it).  In 11 and 12,
improve the configure logic so as both macros and functions are
correctly detected.  This makes NetBSD 5 still work on already-released
branches, but not for 13 onwards.

The patch for HEAD is from me, and Daniel has written the version to use
for the back-branches.

Tom Lane 7a0574b50e Fix ecpglib.h to declare bool consistently with c.h.
This completes the task begun in commit 1408d5d86, to synchronize
ECPG's exported definitions with the definition of bool used by
c.h (and, therefore, the one actually in use in the ECPG library).
On practically all modern platforms, ecpglib.h will now just
include <stdbool.h>, which should surprise nobody anymore.
That removes a header-inclusion-order hazard for ECPG clients,
who previously might get build failures or unexpected behavior
depending on whether they'd included <stdbool.h> themselves,
and if so, whether before or after ecpglib.h.

On platforms where sizeof(_Bool) is not 1 (only old PPC-based
Mac systems, as far as I know), things are still messy, as
inclusion of <stdbool.h> could still break ECPG client code.
There doesn't seem to be any clean fix for that, and given the
probably-negligible population of users who would care anymore,
it's not clear we should go far out of our way to cope with it.
This change at least fixes some header-inclusion-order hazards
for our own code, since c.h and ecpglib.h previously disagreed
on whether bool should be char or unsigned char.

To implement this with minimal invasion of ECPG client namespace,
move the choice of whether to rely on <stdbool.h> into configure,
and have it export a configuration symbol PG_USE_STDBOOL.

ecpglib.h no longer exports definitions for TRUE and FALSE,
only their lowercase brethren.  We could undo that if we get
push-back about it.

Ideally we'd back-patch this as far as v11, which is where c.h
started to rely on <stdbool.h>.  But the odds of creating problems
for formerly-working ECPG client code seem about as large as the
odds of fixing any non-working cases, so we'll just do this in HEAD.

Tom Lane 02a6a54ecd Make use of compiler builtins and/or assembly for CLZ, CTZ, POPCNT.
Test for the compiler builtins __builtin_clz, __builtin_ctz, and
__builtin_popcount, and make use of these in preference to
handwritten C code if they're available.  Create src/port
infrastructure for "leftmost one", "rightmost one", and "popcount"
so as to centralize these decisions.

On x86_64, __builtin_popcount generally won't make use of the POPCNT
opcode because that's not universally supported yet.  Provide code
that checks CPUID and then calls POPCNT via asm() if available.
This requires indirecting through a function pointer, which is
an annoying amount of overhead for a one-instruction operation,
but it's probably not worth working harder than this for our
current use-cases.

I'm not sure we've found all the existing places that could profit
from this new infrastructure; but we at least touched all the
ones that used copied-and-pasted versions of the bitmapset.c code,
and got rid of multiple copies of the associated constant arrays.

While at it, replace c-compiler.m4's one-per-builtin-function
macros with a single one that can handle all the cases we need
to worry about so far.  Also, because I'm paranoid, make those
checks into AC_LINK checks rather than just AC_COMPILE; the
former coding failed to verify that libgcc has support for the
builtin, in cases where it's not inline code.

This reverts commits fc6c72747a, 109de05cbb, d0b4663c23 and
711bab1e4d.

Somebody will have to try harder before submitting this patch again.
I've spent entirely too much time on it already, and the #ifdef maze yet
to be written in order for it to build at all got on my nerves.  The
amount of work needed to get a platform-specific performance improvement
that's barely above the noise level is not worth it.

Alvaro Herrera 109de05cbb Fix portability issues in pg_bitutils
We were using uint64 function arguments as "long int" arguments to
compiler builtins, which fails on machines where long ints are 32 bits:
the upper half of the uint64 was being ignored.  Fix by using the "ll"
builtin variants instead, which on those machines take 64 bit arguments.

Also, remove configure tests for __builtin_popcountl() (as well as
"long" variants for ctz and clz): the theory here is that any compiler
version will provide all widths or none, so one test suffices.  Were
this theory to be wrong, we'd have to add tests for
__builtin_popcountll() and friends, which would be tedious.

Per failures in buildfarm member lapwing and ensuing discussion.

Alvaro Herrera 711bab1e4d Add basic support for using the POPCNT and SSE4.2s LZCNT opcodes
These opcodes have been around in the AMD world since 2007, and 2008 in
the case of intel.  They're supported in GCC and Clang via some __builtin
macros.  The opcodes may be unavailable during runtime, in which case we
fall back on a C-based implementation of the code.  In order to get the
POPCNT instruction we must pass the -mpopcnt option to the compiler.  We
do this only for the pg_bitutils.c file.

Andrew Gierth f397e08599 Use strtof() and not strtod() for float4 input.
Using strtod() creates a double-rounding problem; the input decimal
value is first rounded to the nearest double; rounding that to the
nearest float may then give an incorrect result.

An example is that 7.038531e-26 when input via strtod and then rounded
to float4 gives 0xAE43FEp-107 instead of the correct 0xAE43FDp-107.

Values output by earlier PG versions with extra_float_digits=3 should
all be read in with the same values as previously. However, values
supplied by other software using shortest representations could be
mis-read.

On platforms that lack a strtof() entirely, we fall back to the old
incorrect rounding behavior. (As strtof() is required by C99, such
platforms are considered of primarily historical interest.) On VS2013,
some workarounds are used to get correct error handling.

The regression tests now test for the correct input values, so
platforms that lack strtof() will need resultmap entries. An entry for
HP-UX 10 is included (more may be needed).

Tom Lane ee27584c4a Second try at fixing ecpglib thread-safety problem.
While Windows (allegedly) has _configthreadlocale() pretty far back,
it seems MinGW didn't acquire support for that till more recently.
Fortunately, we can use an autoconf probe on that toolchain,
instead of guessing whether it's there.  (Hm, I wonder whether Cygwin
will need this also.)

Tom Lane 8eb4a9312c Avoid thread-safety problem in ecpglib.
ecpglib attempts to force the LC_NUMERIC locale to "C" while reading
server output, to avoid problems with strtod() and related functions.
Historically it's just issued setlocale() calls to do that, but that
has major problems if we're in a threaded application.  setlocale()
itself is not required by POSIX to be thread-safe (and indeed is not,
on recent OpenBSD).  Moreover, its effects are process-wide, so that
we could cause unexpected results in other threads, or another thread
could change our setting.

On platforms having uselocale(), which is required by POSIX:2008,
we can avoid these problems by using uselocale() instead.  Windows
goes its own way as usual, but we can make it safe by using
_configthreadlocale().  Platforms having neither continue to use the
old code, but that should be pretty much nobody among current systems.

This should get back-patched, but let's see what the buildfarm
thinks of it first.

Michael Paquier 1707a0d2aa Remove configure switch --disable-strong-random
This removes a portion of infrastructure introduced by fe0a0b5 to allow
compilation of Postgres in environments where no strong random source is
available, meaning that there is no linking to OpenSSL and no
/dev/urandom (Windows having its own CryptoAPI).  No systems shipped
this century lack /dev/urandom, and the buildfarm is actually not
testing this switch at all, so just remove it.  This simplifies
particularly some backend code which included a fallback implementation
using shared memory, and removes a set of alternate regression output
files from pgcrypto.

Tom Lane cc92cca431 Drop support for getting signal descriptions from sys_siglist[].
It appears that all platforms that have sys_siglist[] also have
strsignal(), making that fallback case in pg_strsignal() dead code.
Getting rid of it allows dropping a configure test, which seems worth
more than providing textual signal descriptions on whatever platforms
might still hypothetically have use for the fallback case.

Tom Lane a73d083195 Modernize our code for looking up descriptive strings for Unix signals.
At least as far back as the 2008 spec, POSIX has defined strsignal(3)
for looking up descriptive strings for signal numbers.  We hadn't gotten
the word though, and were still using the crufty old sys_siglist array,
which is in no standard even though most Unixen provide it.

Aside from not being formally standards-compliant, this was just plain
ugly because it involved #ifdef's at every place using the code.

To eliminate the #ifdef's, create a portability function pg_strsignal,
which wraps strsignal(3) if available and otherwise falls back to
sys_siglist[] if available.  The set of Unixen with neither API is
probably empty these days, but on any platform with neither, you'll
just get "unrecognized signal".  All extant callers print the numeric
signal number too, so no need to work harder than that.

Along the way, upgrade pg_basebackup's child-error-exit reporting
to match the rest of the system.

Peter Eisentraut 3a769d8239 pg_upgrade: Allow use of file cloning
Add another transfer mode --clone to pg_upgrade (besides the existing
--link and the default copy), using special file cloning calls.  This
makes the file transfer faster and more space efficient, achieving
speed similar to --link mode without the associated drawbacks.

On Linux, file cloning is supported on Btrfs and XFS (if formatted with
reflink support).  On macOS, file cloning is supported on APFS.

Tom Lane aed9fa0bd8 Select appropriate PG_PRINTF_ATTRIBUTE for recent NetBSD.
NetBSD-current generates a large number of warnings about "%m" not
being appropriate to use with *printf functions.  While that's true
for their native printf, it's surely not true for snprintf.c, so I
think they have misunderstood gcc's definition of the "gnu_printf"
archetype.  Nonetheless, choosing "__syslog__" instead silences the
warnings; so teach configure about that.

Since this is only a cosmetic warning issue (and anyway it depends
on previous hacking to be self-consistent), no back-patch.

Tom Lane abd9ca377d Make assorted performance improvements in snprintf.c.
In combination, these changes make our version of snprintf as fast
or faster than most platforms' native snprintf, except for cases
involving floating-point conversion (which we still delegate to
the native sprintf).  The speed penalty for a float conversion
is down to around 10% though, much better than before.

Notable changes:

* Rather than always parsing the format twice to see if it contains
instances of %n$, do the extra scan only if we actually find a $.
This obviously wins for non-localized formats, and even when there
is use of %n$, we can avoid scanning text before the first % twice.

* Use strchrnul() if available to find the next %, and emit the
literal text between % escapes as strings rather than char-by-char.

* Create a bespoke function (dopr_outchmulti) for the common case
of emitting N copies of the same character, in place of writing
loops around dopr_outch.

* Simplify construction of the format string for invocations of sprintf
for floats.

* Const-ify some internal functions, and avoid unnecessary use of
pass-by-reference arguments.

Tom Lane 751f532b97 Try another way to detect the result type of strerror_r().
The method we've traditionally used, of redeclaring strerror_r() to
see if the compiler complains of inconsistent declarations, turns out
not to work reliably because some compilers only report a warning,
not an error.  Amazingly, this has gone undetected for years, even
though it certainly breaks our detection of whether strerror_r
succeeded.

Let's instead test whether the compiler will take the result of
strerror_r() as a switch() argument.  It's possible this won't
work universally either, but it's the best idea I could come up with
on the spur of the moment.

We should probably back-patch this once the dust settles, but
first let's see what the buildfarm thinks of it.

Tom Lane 96bf88d527 Always use our own versions of *printf().
We've spent an awful lot of effort over the years in coping with
platform-specific vagaries of the *printf family of functions.  Let's just
forget all that mess and standardize on always using src/port/snprintf.c.
This gets rid of a lot of configure logic, and it will allow a saner
approach to dealing with %m (though actually changing that is left for
a follow-on patch).

Preliminary performance testing suggests that as it stands, snprintf.c is
faster than the native printf functions for some tasks on some platforms,
and slower for other cases.  A pending patch will improve that, though
cases with floating-point conversions will doubtless remain slower unless
we want to put a *lot* of effort into that.  Still, we've not observed
that *printf is really a performance bottleneck for most workloads, so
I doubt this matters much.
