Michael Paquier 8febfd1855 Switch to multi-inserts when registering dependencies for many code paths
This commit improves the dependency registrations by taking advantage of
the preliminary work done in 63110c62, to group together the insertion
of dependencies of the same type to pg_depend.  With the current layer
of routines available, and as only dependencies of the same type can be
grouped, there are code paths still doing more than one multi-insert
when it is necessary to register dependencies of multiple types
(constraint and index creation are two cases doing that).

While on it, this refactors some of the code to use ObjectAddressSet()
when manipulating object addresses.

Peter Eisentraut 11b80d900f Extend SQL function tests lightly
The basic tests that defined SQL functions didn't actually run the
functions to see if they worked.  Add that, and also fix a minor
mistake in a function that was revealed by this.  (This is not a
question of test coverage, since there are other places where SQL
functions are run, but it is a bit of a silly test design.)

Michael Paquier 63110c6264 Use multi-inserts for pg_depend
This is a follow-up of the work done in e3931d01.  This case is a bit
different than pg_attribute and pg_shdepend: the maximum number of items
to insert is known in advance, but there is no need to handle pinned
dependencies.  Hence, the base allocation for slots is done based on the
number of items and the maximum allowed with a cap at 64kB.  Slots are
initialized once used to minimize the overhead of the operation.

The insertions can be done for dependencies of the same type.  More
could be done by grouping the insertion of multiple dependency types in
a single batch.  This is left as future work.

Some of the multi-insert logic is also simplified for pg_shdepend, as
per the feedback discussed for this specific patch.  This also moves to
indexing.h the variable capping the maximum amount of data that can be
used at once for a multi-insert, instead of having separate definitions
for pg_attribute, pg_depend and pg_shdepend.

Tom Lane 4d41823c52 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.

Commit 3f60f690f only partially fixed the broken-status-tracking

extra ping requests being sent, once per second until the sender
responds.  Still, it's a bug, so backpatch to v10 as before.

Tom Lane d54f99e415 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 67a472d71c Remove arbitrary restrictions on password length.
This patch started out with the goal of harmonizing various arbitrary
limits on password length, but after awhile a better idea emerged:
let's just get rid of those fixed limits.

recv_password_packet() has an arbitrary limit on the packet size,
which we don't really need, so just drop it.  (Note that this doesn't
really affect anything for MD5 or SCRAM password verification, since
those will hash the user's password to something shorter anyway.
It does matter for auth methods that require a cleartext password.)

Likewise remove the arbitrary error condition in pg_saslprep().

The remaining limits are mostly in client-side code that prompts
for passwords.  To improve those, refactor simple_prompt() so that
it allocates its own result buffer that can be made as big as
necessary.  Actually, it proves best to make a separate routine
pg_get_line() that has essentially the semantics of fgets(), except
that it allocates a suitable result buffer and hence will never
return a truncated line.  (pg_get_line has a lot of potential
applications to replace randomly-sized fgets buffers elsewhere,
but I'll leave that for another patch.)

I built pg_get_line() atop stringinfo.c, which requires moving
that code to src/common/; but that seems fine since it was a poor
fit for src/port/ anyway.

This patch is mostly mine, but it owes a good deal to Nathan Bossart
who pressed for a solution to the password length problem and
created a predecessor patch.  Also thanks to Peter Eisentraut and
Stephen Frost for ideas and discussion.

Tom Lane be4b0c0077 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 8f8154a503 Allow records to span multiple lines in pg_hba.conf and pg_ident.conf.
A backslash at the end of a line now causes the next line to be appended
to the current one (effectively, the backslash and newline are discarded).
This allows long HBA entries to be created without legibility problems.

While we're here, get rid of the former hard-wired length limit on
pg_hba.conf lines, by using an expansible StringInfo buffer instead
of a fixed-size local variable.

Since the same code is used to read the ident map file, these changes
apply there as well.

Amit Kapila 464824323e Add support for streaming to built-in logical replication.
To add support for streaming of in-progress transactions into the
built-in logical replication, we need to do three things:

* Extend the logical replication protocol, so identify in-progress
transactions, and allow adding additional bits of information (e.g.
XID of subtransactions).

* Modify the output plugin (pgoutput) to implement the new stream
API callbacks, by leveraging the extended replication protocol.

* Modify the replication apply worker, to properly handle streamed
in-progress transaction by spilling the data to disk and then
replaying them on commit.

We however must explicitly disable streaming replication during
replication slot creation, even if the plugin supports it. We
don't need to replicate the changes accumulated during this phase,
and moreover we don't have a replication connection open so we
don't have where to send the data anyway.

This splits a string at occurrences of a delimiter.  It is exactly like
string_to_array() except for producing a set of values instead of an

the same as between regexp_split_to_table() and regexp_split_to_array().

Although the same results could be had from unnest(string_to_array()),
this is somewhat faster than that, and anyway it seems reasonable to
have it for symmetry with the regexp functions.

In SyncRepWaitForLSN() routine called in transaction commit time,
SyncRepLock is necessary to atomically both check the shared

On the other hand, when the flag is false, the lock is not necessary
because the wait-queue is not touched. But due to the changes by
commit 48c9f49265, previously the lock was taken whatever the flag was.
This could cause unnecessary performance overhead in every transaction

Michael Paquier 1d65416661 Improve handling of dropped relations for REINDEX DATABASE/SCHEMA/SYSTEM
When multiple relations are reindexed, a scan of pg_class is done first
to build the list of relations to work on.  However the REINDEX logic
has never checked if a relation listed still exists when beginning the
work on it, causing for example sudden cache lookup failures.

This commit adds safeguards against dropped relations for REINDEX,
similarly to VACUUM or CLUSTER where we try to open the relation,
ignoring it if it is missing.  A new option is added to the REINDEX
routines to control if a missed relation is OK to ignore or not.

An isolation test, based on REINDEX SCHEMA, is added for the concurrent
and non-concurrent cases.

Tom Lane a7212be8b9 Set cutoff xmin more aggressively when vacuuming a temporary table.
Since other sessions aren't allowed to look into a temporary table
of our own session, we do not need to worry about the global xmin
horizon when setting the vacuum XID cutoff.  Indeed, if we're not
inside a transaction block, we may set oldestXmin to be the next
XID, because there cannot be any in-doubt tuples in a temp table,
nor any tuples that are dead but still visible to some snapshot of
our transaction.  (VACUUM, of course, is never inside a transaction
block; but we need to test that because CLUSTER shares the same code.)

This approach allows us to always clean out a temp table completely
during VACUUM, independently of concurrent activity.  Aside from
being useful in its own right, that simplifies building reproducible
test cases.

Tom Lane b55b4dad99 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.
