Tom Lane 4e10c0c8a6 Use _exit(2) for SIGQUIT during ProcessStartupPacket, too.
Bring the signal handling for startup-packet collection into line
with the policy established in commits bedadc732 and 8e19a8264,
namely don't risk running atexit callbacks when handling SIGQUIT.

Ideally, we'd not do so for SIGTERM or timeout interrupts either,
but that change seems a bit too risky for the back branches.
For now, just improve the comments in this area to describe the risk.

Also relocate where BackendInitialize re-disables these interrupts,
to minimize the code span where they're active.  This doesn't buy
a whole lot of safety, but it can't hurt.

In passing, rename startup_die() to remove confusion about whether
it is for the startup process.

Like the previous commits, back-patch to all supported branches.

Peter Eisentraut 697c8e6204 doc: Remove buggy ICU collation from documentation
We have had multiple reports that point to the
'@colReorder=latn-digit' collation customization being buggy.  We have
reported this to ICU and are waiting for a fix.  In the meantime,
remove references to this from the documentation and replace it by
another reordering example.  Apparently, many users have been picking
up this example specifically from the documentation.

Tom Lane d038c6c631 Make archiver's SIGQUIT handler exit via _exit().
Commit 8e19a8264 changed the SIGQUIT handlers of almost all server
processes not to run atexit callbacks.  The archiver process was
skipped, perhaps because it's not connected to shared memory; but
it's just as true here that running atexit callbacks in a signal
handler is unsafe.  So let's make it work like the rest.

In HEAD and v13, we can use the common SignalHandlerForCrashExit
handler.  Before that, just tweak pgarch_exit to use _exit(2)
explicitly.

Like the previous commit, back-patch to all supported branches.

Check default partitions constraints while descending
Partitioning tuple route code assumes that the partition chosen while
descending the partition hierarchy is always the correct one.  This is
true except when the partition is the default partition and another
partition has been added concurrently: the partition constraint changes
and we don't recheck it.  This can lead to tuples mistakenly being added
to the default partition that should have been rejected.

Fix by rechecking the default partition constraint while descending the
hierarchy.

An isolation test based on the reproduction steps described by Hao Wu
(with tweaks for extra coverage) is included.

Backpatch to 12, where this bug came in with 898e5e3290.

Tom Lane a7bcf391f3 Remove useless lstat() call in pg_rewind.
This is duplicative of an lstat that was just done by the calling
function (traverse_datadir), besides which we weren't really doing
anything with the results.  There's not much point in checking to
see if someone removed the file since the previous lstat, since the
FILE_ACTION_REMOVE code would have to deal with missing-file cases
anyway.  Moreover, the "exists = false" assignment was a dead store;
nothing was done with that value later.

Tom Lane fc37c6f610 Make new authentication test case more robust.
I happened to notice that the new test case I added in b55b4dad9
falls over if one runs "make check" repeatedly; though not in branches
after v10.  That's because it was assuming that tmp_check/pgpass
wouldn't exist already.  However, it's only been since v11 that the
Makefiles forcibly remove all of tmp_check/ before starting a TAP run.
This fix to unlink the file is therefore strictly necessary only in
v10 ... but it seems wisest to do it across the board, rather than
let the test rely on external logic to get the conditions right.

Tom Lane aa4eeb38f3 Fix rare deadlock failure in create_am regression test.
The "DROP ACCESS METHOD gist2" test will require locking the index
to be dropped and then its table; while most ordinary operations
lock a table first then its index.  While no concurrent test scripts
should be touching fast_emp4000, autovacuum might chance to be
processing that table when the DROP runs, resulting in a deadlock
failure.  This is pretty rare but we see it in the buildfarm from
time to time.

To fix, acquire a lock on fast_emp4000 before issuing the DROP.

Since the point of the exercise is mostly to prevent buildfarm
failures, back-patch to 9.6 where this test was introduced.

Tom Lane 82dd373f2c Avoid lockup of a parallel worker when reporting a long error message.
Because sigsetjmp() will restore the initial state with signals blocked,
the code path in bgworker.c for reporting an error and exiting would
execute that way.  Usually this is fairly harmless; but if a parallel
worker had an error message exceeding the shared-memory communication
buffer size (16K) it would lock up, because it would wait for a
resume-sending signal from its parallel leader which it would never
detect.

To fix, just unblock signals at the appropriate point.

This can be shown to fail back to 9.6.  The lack of parallel query
infrastructure makes it difficult to provide a simple test case for
9.5; but I'm pretty sure the issue exists in some form there as well,
so apply the code change there too.

Tom Lane 55aea0c706 Teach libpq to handle arbitrary-length lines in .pgpass files.
Historically there's been a hard-wired assumption here that no line of
a .pgpass file could be as long as NAMEDATALEN*5 bytes.  That's a bit
shaky to start off with, because (a) there's no reason to suppose that
host names fit in NAMEDATALEN, and (b) this figure fails to allow for
backslash escape characters.  However, it fails completely if someone
wants to use a very long password, and we're now hearing reports of
people wanting to use "security tokens" that can run up to several
hundred bytes.  Another angle is that the file is specified to allow
comment lines, but there's no reason to assume that long comment lines
aren't possible.

Rather than guessing at what might be a more suitable limit, let's
replace the fixed-size buffer with an expansible PQExpBuffer.  That
adds one malloc/free cycle to the typical use-case, but that's surely
pretty cheap relative to the I/O this code has to do.

Also, add TAP test cases to exercise this code, because there was no
test coverage before.

This reverts most of commit 2eb3bc588, as there's no longer a need for
a warning message about overlength .pgpass lines.  (I kept the explicit
check for comment lines, though.)

In HEAD and v13, this also fixes an oversight in 74a308cf5: there's not
much point in explicit_bzero'ing the line buffer if we only do so in two
of the three exit paths.

Back-patch to all supported branches, except that the test case only
goes back to v10 where src/test/authentication/ was added.

Tom Lane ff3c16d1e7 Fix code for re-finding scan position in a multicolumn GIN index.
collectMatchBitmap() needs to re-find the index tuple it was previously
looking at, after transiently dropping lock on the index page it's on.
The tuple should still exist and be at its prior position or somewhere
to the right of that, since ginvacuum never removes tuples but
concurrent insertions could add one.  However, there was a thinko in
that logic, to the effect of expecting any inserted tuples to have the
same index "attnum" as what we'd been scanning.  Since there's no
physical separation of tuples with different attnums, it's not terribly
hard to devise scenarios where this fails, leading to transient "lost
saved point in index" errors.  (While I've duplicated this with manual
testing, it seems impossible to make a reproducible test case with our
available testing technology.)

Fix by just continuing the scan when the attnum doesn't match.

While here, improve the error message used if we do fail, so that it
matches the wording used in btree for a similar case.

collectMatchBitmap()'s posting-tree code path was previously not
exercised at all by our regression tests.  While I can't make
a regression test that exhibits the bug, I can at least improve
the code coverage here, so do that.  The test case I made for this
is an extension of one added by 4b754d6c1, so it only works in
HEAD and v13; didn't seem worth trying hard to back-patch it.

Per bug #16595 from Jesse Kinkead.  This has been broken since
multicolumn capability was added to GIN (commit 27cb66fdf),
so back-patch to all supported branches.

Tom Lane 6b701eaaa9 Avoid pushing quals down into sub-queries that have grouping sets.
The trouble with doing this is that an apparently-constant subquery
output column isn't really constant if it is a grouping column that
appears in only some of the grouping sets.  A qual using such a
column would be subject to incorrect const-folding after push-down,
as seen in bug #16585 from Paul Sivash.

To fix, just disable qual pushdown altogether if the sub-query has
nonempty groupingSets.  While we could imagine far less restrictive
solutions, there is not much point in working harder right now,
because subquery_planner() won't move HAVING clauses to WHERE within
such a subquery.  If the qual stays in HAVING it's not going to be
a lot more useful than if we'd kept it at the outer level.

Having said that, this restriction could be removed if we used a
parsetree representation that distinguished such outputs from actual
constants, which is something I hope to do in future.  Hence, make
the patch a minimal addition rather than integrating it more tightly
(e.g. by renumbering the existing items in subquery_is_pushdown_safe's
comment).

Back-patch to 9.5 where grouping sets were introduced.

Tom Lane d9253df12e Fix handling of CREATE TABLE LIKE with inheritance.
If a CREATE TABLE command uses both LIKE and traditional inheritance,
Vars in CHECK constraints and expression indexes that are absorbed
from a LIKE parent table tended to get mis-numbered, resulting in
wrong answers and/or bizarre error messages (though probably not any
actual crashes, thanks to validation occurring in the executor).

In v12 and up, the same could happen to Vars in GENERATED expressions,
even in cases with no LIKE clause but multiple traditional-inheritance
parents.

The cause of the problem for LIKE is that parse_utilcmd.c supposed
it could renumber such Vars correctly during transformCreateStmt(),
which it cannot since we have not yet accounted for columns added via
inheritance.  Fix that by postponing processing of LIKE INCLUDING
CONSTRAINTS, DEFAULTS, GENERATED, INDEXES till after we've performed
DefineRelation().

The error with GENERATED and multiple inheritance is a simple oversight
in MergeAttributes(); it knows it has to renumber Vars in inherited
CHECK constraints, but forgot to apply the same processing to inherited
GENERATED expressions (a/k/a defaults).

Per bug #16272 from Tom Gottfried.  The non-GENERATED variants of the
issue are ancient, presumably dating right back to the addition of
CREATE TABLE LIKE; hence back-patch to all supported branches.

Tom Lane 814a57065e Suppress unnecessary RelabelType nodes in yet more cases.
Commit a477bfc1d fixed eval_const_expressions() to ensure that it
didn't generate unnecessary RelabelType nodes, but I failed to notice
that some other places in the planner had the same issue.  Really
noplace in the planner should be using plain makeRelabelType(), for
fear of generating expressions that should be equal() to semantically
equivalent trees, but aren't.

An example is that because canonicalize_ec_expression() failed
to be careful about this, we could end up with an equivalence class
containing both a plain Const, and a Const-with-RelabelType
representing exactly the same value.  So far as I can tell this led to
no visible misbehavior, but we did waste a bunch of cycles generating
and evaluating "Const = Const-with-RelabelType" to prove such entries
are redundant.

Hence, move the support function added by a477bfc1d to where it can
be more generally useful, and use it in the places where planner code
previously used makeRelabelType.

Back-patch to v12, like the previous patch.  While I have no concrete
evidence of any real misbehavior here, it's certainly possible that
I overlooked a case where equivalent expressions that aren't equal()
could cause a user-visible problem.  In any case carrying extra
RelabelType nodes through planning to execution isn't very desirable.

Heikki Linnakangas aecefffc3f Avoid non-constant format string argument to fprintf().
As Tom Lane pointed out, it could defeat the compiler's printf() format
string verification.

Backpatch to v12, like that patch that introduced it.

The description of what select_common_type() does was not terribly
accurate.  Improve it.

Heikki Linnakangas 9f44d71b06 Fix printing last progress report line in client programs.
A number of client programs have a "--progress" option that when printing
to a TTY, updates the current line by printing a '\r' and overwriting it.
After the last line, '\n' needs to be printed to move the cursor to the
next line. pg_basebackup and pgbench got this right, but pg_rewind and
pg_checksums were slightly wrong. pg_rewind printed the newline to stdout
instead of stderr, and pg_checksums printed the newline even when not
printing to a TTY. Fix them, and also add a 'finished' argument to
pg_basebackup's progress_report() function, to keep it consistent with
the other programs.

Backpatch to v12. pg_rewind's newline was broken with the logging changes
in commit cc8d415117 in v12, and pg_checksums was introduced in v12.

Noah Misch 06e50d8f7e Move new LOCKTAG_DATABASE_FROZEN_IDS to end of enum LockTagType.
Several PGXN modules reference LockTagType values; renumbering would
force a recompile of those modules.  Oversight in back-patch of today's
commit 566372b3d6.  Back-patch to released
branches, v12 through 9.5.

Noah Misch 30e68a2abb Prevent concurrent SimpleLruTruncate() for any given SLRU.
The SimpleLruTruncate() header comment states the new coding rule.  To
achieve this, add locktype "frozenid" and two LWLocks.  This closes a
rare opportunity for data loss, which manifested as "apparent
wraparound" or "could not access status of transaction" errors.  Data
loss is more likely in pg_multixact, due to released branches' thin
margin between multiStopLimit and multiWrapLimit.  If a user's physical
replication primary logged ":  apparent wraparound" messages, the user
should rebuild standbys of that primary regardless of symptoms.  At less
risk is a cluster having emitted "not accepting commands" errors or
"must be vacuumed" warnings at some point.  One can test a cluster for
this data loss by running VACUUM FREEZE in every database.  Back-patch
to 9.5 (all supported versions).

Tom Lane 912fb290c5 Be more careful about the shape of hashable subplan clauses.
nodeSubplan.c expects that the testexpr for a hashable ANY SubPlan
has the form of one or more OpExprs whose LHS is an expression of the
outer query's, while the RHS is an expression over Params representing
output columns of the subquery.  However, the planner only went as far
as verifying that the clauses were all binary OpExprs.  This works
99.99% of the time, because the clauses have the right shape when
emitted by the parser --- but it's possible for function inlining to
break that, as reported by PegoraroF10.  To fix, teach the planner
to check that the LHS and RHS contain the right things, or more
accurately don't contain the wrong things.  Given that this has been
broken for years without anyone noticing, it seems sufficient to just
give up hashing when it happens, rather than go to the trouble of
commuting the clauses back again (which wouldn't necessarily work
anyway).

While poking at that, I also noticed that nodeSubplan.c had a baked-in
assumption that the number of hash clauses is identical to the number
of subquery output columns.  Again, that's fine as far as parser output
goes, but it's not hard to break it via function inlining.  There seems
little reason for that assumption though --- AFAICS, the only thing
it's buying us is not having to store the number of hash clauses
explicitly.  Adding code to the planner to reject such cases would take
more code than getting nodeSubplan.c to cope, so I fixed it that way.

This has been broken for as long as we've had hashable SubPlans,
so back-patch to all supported branches.
