There's a project policy against using plain "char buf[BLCKSZ]" local
or static variables as page buffers; preferred style is to palloc or
malloc each buffer to ensure it is MAXALIGN'd. However, that policy's
been ignored in an increasing number of places. We've apparently got
away with it so far, probably because (a) relatively few people use
platforms on which misalignment causes core dumps and/or (b) the
variables chance to be sufficiently aligned anyway. But this is not
something to rely on. Moreover, even if we don't get a core dump,
we might be paying a lot of cycles for misaligned accesses.
To fix, invent new union types PGAlignedBlock and PGAlignedXLogBlock
that the compiler must allocate with sufficient alignment, and use
those in place of plain char arrays.
I used these types even for variables where there's no risk of a
misaligned access, since ensuring proper alignment should make
kernel data transfers faster. I also changed some places where
we had been palloc'ing short-lived buffers, for coding style
uniformity and to save palloc/pfree overhead.
Since this seems to be a live portability hazard (despite the lack
of field reports), back-patch to all supported versions.
Patch by me; thanks to Michael Paquier for review.

Currently there are two ways to trigger log rotation in logging collector
process: call pg_rotate_logfile() SQL-function or send SIGUSR1 signal directly
to logging collector process. However, it's nice to have more suitable way
for external tools to do that, which wouldn't require SQL connection or
knowledge of logging collector pid. This commit implements triggering log
rotation by "pg_ctl logrotate" command.

Use postgres_fe.h, since this is frontend code. Pretend that we've heard
of project style guidelines for, eg, #include order. Use BlockNumber not
int arithmetic for block numbers, to avoid misbehavior with relations
exceeding 2^31 blocks. Avoid an unnecessary strict-aliasing warning

scribbling on the output of readdir() -- perhaps that's safe in practice,

I did not touch the problem of the "buf" local variable being possibly

This function had a blacklist of dump object types that it believed
needed exclusive lock ... but we hadn't maintained that, so that it
was missing ROW SECURITY, POLICY, and INDEX ATTACH items, all of
which need (or should be treated as needing) exclusive lock.
Since the same oversight seems likely in future, let's reverse the
sense of the test so that the code has a whitelist of safe object

Previously, this code blindly followed the common coding pattern of
passing PQserverVersion(AH->connection) as the server-version parameter
of fmtQualifiedId. That works as long as we have a connection; but in
pg_restore with text output, we don't. Instead we got a zero from
PQserverVersion, which fmtQualifiedId interpreted as "server is too old to
have schemas", and so the name went unqualified. That still accidentally
managed to work in many cases, which is probably why this ancient bug went
undetected for so long. It only became obvious in the wake of the changes
to force dump/restore to execute with restricted search_path.
In HEAD/v11, let's deal with this by ripping out fmtQualifiedId's server-
version behavioral dependency, and just making it schema-qualify all the
time. We no longer support pg_dump from servers old enough to need the
ability to omit schema name, let alone restoring to them. (Also, the few
callers outside pg_dump already didn't work with pre-schema servers.)
In older branches, that's not an acceptable solution, so instead just
tweak the DISABLE/ENABLE TRIGGER logic to ensure it will schema-qualify
its output regardless of server version.

The original coding here (which is, I believe, my fault) supposed that
it didn't need to concern itself with the possibility that one object
of a given type-priority has a namespace while another doesn't. But
that's not reliably true anymore, if it ever was; and if it does happen
then it's possible that DOTypeNameCompare returns self-inconsistent
comparison results. That leads to unspecified behavior in qsort()
and a resultant weird output order from pg_dump.
This should end up being only a cosmetic problem, because any ordering
constraints that actually matter should be enforced by the later
dependency-based sort. Still, it's a bug, so back-patch.

Commits 742869946 et al turn out to be a couple bricks shy of a load.
We were dumping the stored values of GUC_LIST_QUOTE variables as they
appear in proconfig or setconfig catalog columns. However, although that
quoting rule looks a lot like SQL-identifier double quotes, there are two
critical differences: empty strings ("") are legal, and depending on which
variable you're considering, values longer than NAMEDATALEN might be valid
too. So the current technique fails altogether on empty-string list
entries (as reported by Steven Winfield in bug #15248) and it also risks
truncating file pathnames during dump/reload of GUC values that are lists
of pathnames.
To fix, split the stored value without any downcasing or truncation,
and then emit each element as a SQL string literal.
This is a tad annoying, because we now have three copies of the
comma-separated-string splitting logic in varlena.c as well as a fourth
one in dumputils.c. (Not to mention the randomly-different-from-those
splitting logic in libpq...) I looked at unifying these, but it would
be rather a mess unless we're willing to tweak the API definitions of
SplitIdentifierString, SplitDirectoriesString, or both. That might be
worth doing in future; but it seems pretty unsafe for a back-patched

I blew the dust off a Bourne shell (file date 1996, yea verily) and
tried to run test.sh with it. It mostly worked, but I found that the
temp-directory creation code introduced by commit be76a6d39 was not
compatible, for a couple of reasons: this shell thinks "set -e" should
force an exit if a command within backticks fails, and it also thinks code
within braces should be executed by a sub-shell, meaning that variable
settings don't propagate back up to the parent shell. In view of Victor
Wagner's report that Solaris is still using pre-POSIX shells, seems like
we oughta make this case work. It's not like the code is any less
idiomatic this way; the prior coding technique appeared nowhere else.
(There is a remaining bash-ism here, which is that $RANDOM doesn't do

While at it, revise describeOneTableDetails to be a bit more maintainable:
avoid hard-wired column numbers and multiple repetitions of what needs

A collection of typos I happened to spot while reading code, as well as
grepping for common mistakes.
Backpatch to all supported versions, as applicable, to avoid conflicts
when backporting other commits in the future.
Some error messages related to file handling are using the code path
context to define their state. For example, 2PC-related errors are
referring to "two-phase status files", or "relation mapping file" is
used for catalog-to-filenode mapping, however those prove to be
difficult to translate, and are not more helpful than just referring to
the path of the file being worked on. So simplify all those error
messages by just referring to files with their path used. In some
cases, like the manipulation of WAL segments, the context is actually
helpful so those are kept.
Calls to the system function read() have also been rather inconsistent
with their error handling sometimes not reporting the number of bytes
read, and some other code paths trying to use an errno which has not
been set. The in-core functions are using a more consistent pattern
with this patch, which checks for both errno if set or if an
inconsistent read is happening.
So as to care about pluralization when reading an unexpected number of
byte(s), "could not read: read %d of %zu" is used as error message, with
%d field being the output result of read() and %zu the expected size.
This simplifies the work of translators with less variations of the same
message.

System calls mixed up in error code paths are causing two issues which
several code paths have not correctly handled:
1) For write() calls, sometimes the system may return less bytes than
what has been written without errno being set. Some paths were careful
enough to consider that case, and assumed that errno should be set to
ENOSPC, other calls missed that.
2) errno generated by a system call is overwritten by other system calls
which may succeed once an error code path is taken, causing what is

- Add missing tab-complete support for vacuum_cleanup_index_scale_factor
reloption.
- Fix condition for B-tree index cleanup.
Zero value of vacuum_cleanup_index_scale_factor means that user wants B-tree
index cleanup to be never skipped.
- Documentation and comment improvements

The vertical tightness settings collapse vertical whitespace between
opening and closing brackets (parentheses, square brakets and braces).
This can make data structures in particular harder to read, and is not
very consistent with our style in non-Perl code. This patch restricts
that setting to parentheses only, and reformats all the perl code
accordingly. Not applying this to parentheses has some unfortunate
effects, so the consensus is to keep the setting for parentheses and not
for the others.
The diff for this patch does highlight some places where structures
should have trailing commas. They can be added manually, as there is no
automatic tool to do so.

The regexes used in 102_vacuumdb_stages.pl to check the postmaster log
for expected output contained several places with ".*.*", which is
underdetermined and can cause exponential runtime growth in Perl's regex
matcher (since it's not bright enough not to waste time seeing whether
different splits of the same substring would allow a match). We were
fortunate that the amount of text in the postmaster log was generally not
enough to make the runtime go to the moon; although commit 6271fceb8 had
been on the hairy edge of an obvious problem, thanks to its increasing the
default log verbosity to DEBUG1. Experimentation shows that anyone who
tried to run this test case with an even higher log verbosity would have
been in for serious pain. But even at default logging level, fixing this
saves several hundred ms on my workstation, more on slower buildfarm
members.
Remove the extra ".*"s, restoring more-or-less-linear matching speed.
Back-patch to 9.4 where the test case was added, mostly in case anyone
tries to do related debugging in a back branch.

While poking into initdb's performance, I noticed that this query
wasn't being done very intelligently. By forcing it to execute
obj_description() for each pg_proc/pg_operator join row, we were
essentially setting up a nestloop join to pg_description, which
is not a bright query plan when there are hundreds of outer rows.
Convert the check for a "deprecated" operator into a NOT EXISTS
so that it can be done as a hashed antijoin. On my workstation
this reduces the time for this query from ~ 35ms to ~ 10ms.
Which is not a huge win, but it adds up over buildfarm runs.
In passing, insert forced query breaks (\n\n, in single-user mode)
after each SQL-query file that initdb sources, and after some
relatively new queries in setup_privileges(). This doesn't make
a lot of difference normally, but it will result in briefer, saner
error messages if anything goes wrong.
Msys2's uname -s outputs a string beginning MSYS rather than MINGW as is
output by Msys. Allow either in pg_upgrade's test.sh.
Backpatch to all live branches.
For querying pg_database about information about the database being
dumped, look up by using current_database() instead of the value
obtained from PQdb(). When using a connection proxy, the value from
PQdb() might not be the real name of the database.
Unify indnkeys/indnatts/indnkeyatts usage for all version of query to get
index information, remove indnkeys column from query as unused.

Recent gcc can warn about switch-case fall throughs that are not
explicitly labeled as intentional. This seems like a good thing,
so clean up the warnings exposed thereby by labeling all such
cases with comments that gcc will recognize.
In files that already had one or more suitable comments, I generally
matched the existing style of those. Otherwise I went with
/* FALLTHROUGH */, which is one of the spellings approved at the
more-restrictive-than-default level -Wimplicit-fallthrough=4.
(At the default level you can also spell it /* FALL ?THRU */,
and it's not picky about case. What you can't do is include
additional text in the same comment, so some existing comments
containing versions of this aren't good enough.)
Testing with gcc 8.0.1 (Fedora 28's current version), I found that
I also had to put explicit "break"s after elog(ERROR) or ereport(ERROR);
apparently, for this purpose gcc doesn't recognize that those don't
return. That seems like possibly a gcc bug, but it's fine because
in most places we did that anyway; so this amounts to a visit from the
style police.

The predecessor test boiled down to "PQserverVersion(NULL) >= 100000",
which is always false. No release includes that, so it could not have
reintroduced CVE-2018-1058. Back-patch to 9.4, like the addition of the
predecessor in commit 8d2814f274.

Change things around so that proper quoting of values interpolated into
the BKI data by initdb is the responsibility of initdb, not something
we half-heartedly handle by putting double quotes into the raw BKI data.
(Note: experimentation shows that it still doesn't work to put a double
quote into the initial superuser username, but that's the fault of
inadequate quoting while interpolating the name into SQL scripts;
the BKI aspect of it works fine now.)
Having done that, we can remove the special-case handling of values
that look like "something" from genbki.pl, and instead teach it to
escape double --- and single --- quotes properly. This removes the
nowhere-documented need to treat those specially in the BKI source
data; whatever you write will be passed through unchanged into the
inserted data value, modulo Perl's rules about single-quoted strings.
Add documentation explaining the (pre-existing) handling of backslashes
in the BKI data.
Per an earlier discussion with John Naylor.

Teach both base backups and pg_verify_checksums that if a page is new,
it does not have a checksum yet, so it shouldn't be verified.
Noted by Tomas Vondra, review by David Steele.
This option makes no sense when the cluster checksum state cannot be
changed, and should have been removed in the revert.

This reverts commits d204ef6377,
83454e3c2b and a few more commits thereafter
(complete list at the end) related to MERGE feature.
While the feature was fully functional, with sufficient test coverage and
necessary documentation, it was felt that some parts of the executor and
parse-analyzer can use a different design and it wasn't possible to do that in
the available time. So it was decided to revert the patch for PG11 and retry
again in the future.
Thanks again to all reviewers and bug reporters.

Previously a warning was printed, but the tool actually kept running
even when running as root. This is something we definitely want to
prevent, but since this means a behavior change, not backpatching.

In commit 9c0a0de4c, I'd failed to notice that catalog/catalog.h
should also be considered a frontend-unsafe header, because it includes
(and needs) the full form of pg_class.h, not to mention relcache.h.
However, various frontend code was depending on it to get
TABLESPACE_VERSION_DIRECTORY, so refactoring of some sort is called for.
The cleanest answer seems to be to move TABLESPACE_VERSION_DIRECTORY,
as well as the OIDCHARS symbol, to common/relpath.h. Do that, and mop up
inclusions as necessary. (I found that quite a few current users of
catalog/catalog.h don't seem to need it at all anymore, apparently as a
result of the refactorings that created common/relpath.[hc]. And
initdb.c needed it only as a route to pg_class_d.h.)

This reverts the backend sides of commit 1fde38beaa.
I have, at least for now, left the pg_verify_checksums tool in place, as
this tool can be very valuable without the rest of the patch as well,
and since it's a read-only tool that only runs when the cluster is down
it should be a lot safer.
