Peter Eisentraut 66f0cf7da8 Remove useless const qualifier
Claiming that the typevar argument to DefineCompositeType() is const
was a plain lie.  A similar case in DefineVirtualRelation() was
already changed in passing in commit 1575fbcb.  Also clean up the now
unnecessary casts that used to cast away the const.

Tom Lane 4dd78bf37a Merge dissect() into cdissect() to remove a pile of near-duplicate code.
The "uncomplicated" case isn't materially less complicated than the full
case, certainly not enough so to justify duplicating nearly 500 lines
of code.  The only extra work being done in the full path is zaptreesubs,
which is very cheap compared to everything else being done here, and
besides that I'm less than convinced that it's not needed in some cases
even without backrefs.

Tom Lane 587359479a Avoid repeated creation/freeing of per-subre DFAs during regex search.
In nested sub-regex trees, lower-level nodes created DFAs and then
destroyed them again before exiting, which is a bit dumb considering that
the recursive search is likely to call those nodes again later.  Instead
cache each created DFA until the end of pg_regexec().  This is basically a
space for time tradeoff, in that it might increase the maximum memory
usage.  However, in most regex patterns there are not all that many subre
nodes, so not that many DFAs --- and in any case, the peak usage occurs
when reaching the bottom recursion level, and except for alternation cases
that's going to be the same anyway.

Tom Lane 3cbfe485e4 Remove useless "retry memory" logic within regex engine.
Apparently some primordial version of Spencer's engine needed cdissect()
and child functions to be able to continue matching from a previous
position when re-called.  That is dead code, though, since trivial
inspection shows that cdissect can never be entered without having
previously done zapmem which resets the relevant retry counter.  I have
also verified experimentally that no case in the Tcl regression tests
reaches cdissect with a nonzero retry value.  Accordingly, remove that
logic.  This doesn't really save any noticeable number of cycles in itself,
but it is one step towards making dissect() and cdissect() equivalent,
which will allow removing hundreds of lines of near-duplicated code.

Since struct subre's "retry" field is no longer particularly related to
any kind of retry, rename it to "id".  As of this commit it's only used
for identifying a subre node in debug printouts, so you might think we
should get rid of the field entirely; but I have a plan for another use.

Tom Lane 173e29aa5d Fix the general case of quantified regex back-references.
Cases where a back-reference is part of a larger subexpression that
is quantified have never worked in Spencer's regex engine, because
he used a compile-time transformation that neglected the need to
check the back-reference match in iterations before the last one.
(That was okay for capturing parens, and we still do it if the
regex has *only* capturing parens ... but it's not okay for backrefs.)

To make this work properly, we have to add an "iteration" node type
to the regex engine's vocabulary of sub-regex nodes.  Since this is a
moderately large change with a fair risk of introducing new bugs of its
own, apply to HEAD only, even though it's a fix for a longstanding bug.

pg_dump was incautious about sanitizing object names that are emitted

Tom Lane 077711c2e3 Remove arbitrary limitation on length of common name in SSL certificates.
Both libpq and the backend would truncate a common name extracted from a
certificate at 32 bytes.  Replace that fixed-size buffer with dynamically
allocated string so that there is no hard limit.  While at it, remove the
code for extracting peer_dn, which we weren't using for anything; and
don't bother to store peer_cn longer than we need it in libpq.

This limit was not so terribly unreasonable when the code was written,
because we weren't using the result for anything critical, just logging it.
But now that there are options for checking the common name against the
server host name (in libpq) or using it as the user's name (in the server),
this could result in undesirable failures.  In the worst case it even seems
possible to spoof a server name or user name, if the correct name is
exactly 32 bytes and the attacker can persuade a trusted CA to issue a
certificate in which that string is a prefix of the certificate's common
name.  (To exploit this for a server name, he'd also have to send the
connection astray via phony DNS data or some such.)  The case that this is
a realistic security threat is a bit thin, but nonetheless we'll treat it
as one.

Back-patch to 8.4.  Older releases contain the faulty code, but it's not
a security problem because the common name wasn't used for anything
interesting.

Tom Lane 891e6e7bfd Require execute permission on the trigger function for CREATE TRIGGER.
This check was overlooked when we added function execute permissions to the
system years ago.  For an ordinary trigger function it's not a big deal,
since trigger functions execute with the permissions of the table owner,
so they couldn't do anything the user issuing the CREATE TRIGGER couldn't
have done anyway.  However, if a trigger function is SECURITY DEFINER,
that is not the case.  The lack of checking would allow another user to
install it on his own table and then invoke it with, essentially, forged
input data; which the trigger function is unlikely to realize, so it might
do something undesirable, for instance insert false entries in an audit log
table.

Peter Eisentraut a445cb92ef Add parameters for controlling locations of server-side SSL files
This allows changing the location of the files that were previously
hard-coded to server.crt, server.key, root.crt, root.crl.

server.crt and server.key continue to be the default settings and are
thus required to be present by default if SSL is enabled.  But the
settings for the server-side CA and CRL are now empty by default, and
if they are set, the files are required to be present.  This replaces
the previous behavior of ignoring the functionality if the files were
not found.

Tom Lane 593a9631a7 Don't clear btpo_cycleid during _bt_vacuum_one_page.
When "vacuuming" a single btree page by removing LP_DEAD tuples, we are not
actually within a vacuum operation, but rather in an ordinary insertion
process that could well be running concurrently with a vacuum.  So clearing
the cycleid is incorrect, and could cause the concurrent vacuum to miss
removing tuples that it needs to remove.  This is a longstanding bug
introduced by commit e6284649b9 of
2006-07-25.  I believe it explains Maxim Boguk's recent report of index
corruption, and probably some other previously unexplained reports.

In 9.0 and up this is a one-line fix; before that we need to introduce a
flag to tell _bt_delitems what to do.

Tom Lane 5223f96d92 Fix regex back-references that are directly quantified with *.
The syntax "\n*", that is a backref with a * quantifier directly applied
to it, has never worked correctly in Spencer's library.  This has been an
open bug in the Tcl bug tracker since 2005:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1115587&group_id=10894&atid=110894

The core of the problem is in parseqatom(), which first changes "\n*" to
"\n+|" and then applies repeat() to the NFA representing the backref atom.
repeat() thinks that any arc leading into its "rp" argument is part of the
sub-NFA to be repeated.  Unfortunately, since parseqatom() already created
the arc that was intended to represent the empty bypass around "\n+", this
arc gets moved too, so that it now leads into the state loop created by
repeat().  Thus, what was supposed to be an "empty" bypass gets turned into
something that represents zero or more repetitions of the NFA representing
the backref atom.  In the original example, in place of
	^([bc])\1*$
we now have something that acts like
	^([bc])(\1+|[bc]*)$
At runtime, the branch involving the actual backref fails, as it's supposed
to, but then the other branch succeeds anyway.

We could no doubt fix this by some rearrangement of the operations in
parseqatom(), but that code is plenty ugly already, and what's more the
whole business of converting "x*" to "x+|" probably needs to go away to fix
another problem I'll mention in a moment.  Instead, this patch suppresses
the *-conversion when the target is a simple backref atom, leaving the case
of m == 0 to be handled at runtime.  This makes the patch in regcomp.c a
one-liner, at the cost of having to tweak cbrdissect() a little.  In the
event I went a bit further than that and rewrote cbrdissect() to check all
the string-length-related conditions before it starts comparing characters.
It seems a bit stupid to possibly iterate through many copies of an
n-character backreference, only to fail at the end because the target
string's length isn't a multiple of n --- we could have found that out
before starting.  The existing coding could only be a win if integer
division is hugely expensive compared to character comparison, but I don't
know of any modern machine where that might be true.

This does not fix all the problems with quantified back-references.  In
particular, the code is still broken for back-references that appear within
a larger expression that is quantified (so that direct insertion of the
quantification limits into the BACKREF node doesn't apply).  I think fixing
that will take some major surgery on the NFA code, specifically introducing
an explicit iteration node type instead of trying to transform iteration
into concatenation of modified regexps.

Back-patch to all supported branches.  In HEAD, also add a regression test
case for this.  (It may seem a bit silly to create a regression test file
for just one test case; but I'm expecting that we will soon import a whole
bunch of regex regression tests from Tcl, so might as well create the
infrastructure now.)

Tom Lane e00f68e49c Add caching of ctype.h/wctype.h results in regc_locale.c.
While this doesn't save a huge amount of runtime, it still seems worth
doing, especially since I realized that the data copying I did in my first
draft was quite unnecessary.  In this version, once we have the results
cached, getting them back for re-use is really very cheap.

Also, remove the hard-wired limitation to not consider wctype.h results for
character codes above 255.  It turns out that we can't push the limit as
far up as I'd originally hoped, because the regex colormap code is not
efficient enough to cope very well with character classes containing many
thousand letters, which a Unicode locale is entirely capable of producing.
Still, we can push it up to U+7FF (which I chose as the limit of 2-byte
UTF8 characters), which will at least make Eastern Europeans happy pending
a better solution.  Thus, this commit resolves the specific complaint in
bug #6457, but not the more general issue that letters of non-western
alphabets are mostly not recognized as matching [[:alpha:]].

Tom Lane 4767bc8ff2 Improve statistics estimation to make some use of DISTINCT in sub-queries.
Formerly, we just punted when trying to estimate stats for variables coming
out of sub-queries using DISTINCT, on the grounds that whatever stats we
might have for underlying table columns would be inapplicable.  But if the
sub-query has only one DISTINCT column, we can consider its output variable
as being unique, which is useful information all by itself.  The scope of
this improvement is pretty narrow, but it costs nearly nothing, so we might
as well do it.  Per discussion with Andres Freund.

This patch differs from the draft I submitted yesterday in updating various
comments about vardata.isunique (to reflect its extended meaning) and in
tweaking the interaction with security_barrier views.  There does not seem
to be a reason why we can't use this sort of knowledge even when the
sub-query is such a view.

This extends the changes of commit 6252c4f9e2
so that we run the cleanup hook earlier for failure cases as well as
success cases.  As before, the point is to avoid an assertion failure from
an Assert I added in commit a874fe7b4c, which
was meant to check that no user-written code can be called during portal
cleanup.  This fixes a case reported by Pavan Deolasee in which the Assert
could be triggered during backend exit (see the new regression test case),
and also prevents the possibility that the cleanup hook is run after
portions of the portal's state have already been recycled.  That doesn't
really matter in current usage, but it foreseeably could matter in the
future.

Per recent work by Peter Geoghegan, it's significantly faster to
tuplesort on a single sortkey if ApplySortComparator is inlined into
quicksort rather reached via a function pointer.  It's also faster
in general to have a version of quicksort which is specialized for
sorting SortTuple objects rather than objects of arbitrary size and
type.  This requires a couple of additional copies of the quicksort
logic, which in this patch are generate using a Perl script.  There
might be some benefit in adding further specializations here too,
but thus far it's not clear that those gains are worth their weight
in code footprint.

Tom Lane 58a9596ed4 Fix I/O-conversion-related memory leaks in plpgsql.
Datatype I/O functions are allowed to leak memory in CurrentMemoryContext,
since they are generally called in short-lived contexts.  However, plpgsql
calls such functions for purposes of type conversion, and was calling them
in its procedure context.  Therefore, any leaked memory would not be
recovered until the end of the plpgsql function.  If such a conversion
was done within a loop, quite a bit of memory could get consumed.  Fix by
calling such functions in the transient "eval_econtext", and adjust other
logic to match.  Back-patch to all supported versions.

TRUE, not FALSE.  This will result in printing child columns even when
they're not really needed.  We could work harder at trying to reconstruct a
value for attislocal, but there is little evidence that anyone still cares
about dumping from such old versions, so just do the minimum necessary to
have a valid dump.

I had this correct in the original draft of the patch, but for some
unaccountable reason decided it wasn't necessary to change the value.

Tom Lane 00bc96bd2b Fix pg_dump for better handling of inherited columns.
Revise pg_dump's handling of inherited columns, which was last looked at
seriously in 2001, to eliminate several misbehaviors associated with
inherited default expressions and NOT NULL flags.  In particular make sure
that a column is printed in a child table's CREATE TABLE command if and
only if it has attislocal = true; the former behavior would sometimes cause
a column to become marked attislocal when it was not so marked in the
source database.  Also, stop relying on textual comparison of default
expressions to decide if they're inherited; instead, don't use
default-expression inheritance at all, but just install the default
explicitly at each level of the hierarchy.  This fixes the
search-path-related misbehavior recently exhibited by Chester Young, and
also removes some dubious assumptions about the order in which ALTER TABLE
SET DEFAULT commands would be executed.

Tom Lane d77354eaec Fix up dumping conditions for extension configuration tables.
Various filters that were meant to prevent dumping of table data were not
being applied to extension config tables, notably --exclude-table-data and
--no-unlogged-table-data.  We also would bogusly try to dump data from
views, sequences, or foreign tables, should an extension try to claim they
were config tables.  Fix all that, and refactor/redocument to try to make
this a bit less fragile.  This reverts the implementation, though not the
feature, of commit 7b070e896c, which had
broken config-table dumping altogether :-(.

It is still the case that the code will dump config-table data even if
--schema is specified.  That behavior was intentional, as per the comments
in getExtensionMembership, so I think it requires some more discussion
before we change it.

Tom Lane cb7c84fae8 Check misplaced window functions before checking aggregate/group by sanity.
If somebody puts a window function in WHERE, we should complain about that
in so many words.  The previous coding tended to complain about the window
function's arguments instead, which is likely to be misleading to users who
are unclear on the semantics of window functions; as seen for example in
bug #6440 from Matyas Novak.

Just another example of how "add new code at the end" is frequently a bad
heuristic.

Tom Lane cbba55d6d7 Support min/max index optimizations on boolean columns.
Since bool_and() is equivalent to min(), and bool_or() to max(), we might
as well let them be index-optimized in the same way.  The practical value
of this is debatable at best, but it seems nearly cost-free to enable it.
Code-wise, we need only adjust the entries in pg_aggregate.  There is a
measurable planning speed penalty for a query involving one of these
aggregates, but it is only a few percent in simple cases, so that seems
acceptable.

Tom Lane 3db6524fe6 Mark some more I/O-conversion-invoking functions as stable not volatile.
When written, textanycat, anytextcat, quote_literal, and quote_nullable
were marked volatile, because they could invoke arbitrary type-specific
output functions as part of casting their anyelement arguments to text.
Since then, we have defined a project policy that I/O functions must not
be volatile, as per commit aab353a60b.
So these functions can safely be downgraded to stable.  Most of the time
this makes no difference since they'll get inlined anyway, but as noted
by Andrew Dunstan, there are cases where the volatile marking prevents
optimizations that the planner does before function inlining.  (I think
I might have overlooked these functions in the earlier commit on the
grounds that inlining would make it moot, but not so --- tgl)

This change results in a change in the expected output of the json
regression tests, because the planner can now flatten a sub-select
that it failed to before.  The old output is preferable, but getting
that back will require some as-yet-unfinished work on RowExpr handling.

Robert Haas 4f658dc851 Support fls().
The immediate impetus for this is that Noah Misch's patch to elide
unnecessary table and index rebuilds when changing typmod for temporal
types uses it; and this is extracted from that patch, with some
further commentary by me.  But it seems logically separate from the
remainder of the patch, so I'm committing it separately; this is not
the first time someone has wanted fls() in the backend and probably
won't be the last.

If we end up using this in more performance-critical spots it may be
worthwhile to add some architecture-specific optimizations to our
src/port version of fls() - e.g. any x86 platform can implement this
using the assembly instruction BSRL.  But performance won't matter
a bit for assessing typmod changes, so I'm not worried about that
right now.

If LWLockWaitUntilFree was called before the first LWLockAcquire call, you
would either crash because of access to uninitialized array or account the
acquisition incorrectly. LWLockConditionalAcquire doesn't have this problem
because it doesn't update the lwlock stats.

In practice, this never happens because there is no codepath where you would
call LWLockWaitUntilfree before LWLockAcquire after a new process is
launched. But that's just accidental, there's no guarantee that that's
always going to be true in the future.

Tom Lane 442231d7f7 Fix postmaster to attempt restart after a hot-standby crash.
The postmaster was coded to treat any unexpected exit of the startup
process (i.e., the WAL replay process) as a catastrophic crash, and not try
to restart it. This was OK so long as the startup process could not have
any sibling postmaster children.  However, if a hot-standby backend
crashes, we SIGQUIT the startup process along with everything else, and the
resulting exit is hardly "unexpected".  Treating it as such meant we failed
to restart a standby server after any child crash at all, not only a crash
of the WAL replay process as intended.  Adjust that.  Back-patch to 9.0
where hot standby was introduced.

Tom Lane 5fc78efcec Avoid throwing ERROR during WAL replay of DROP TABLESPACE.
Although we will not even issue an XLOG_TBLSPC_DROP WAL record unless
removal of the tablespace's directories succeeds, that does not guarantee
that the same operation will succeed during WAL replay.  Foreseeable
reasons for it to fail include temp files created in the tablespace by Hot
Standby backends, wrong directory permissions on a standby server, etc etc.
The original coding threw ERROR if replay failed to remove the directories,
but that is a serious overreaction.  Throwing an error aborts recovery,
and worse means that manual intervention will be needed to get the database
to start again, since otherwise the same error will recur on subsequent
attempts to replay the same WAL record.  And the consequence of failing to
remove the directories is only that some probably-small amount of disk
space is wasted, so it hardly seems justified to throw an error.
Accordingly, arrange to report such failures as LOG messages and keep going
when a failure occurs during replay.

Back-patch to 9.0 where Hot Standby was introduced.  In principle such
problems can occur in earlier releases, but Hot Standby increases the odds
of trouble significantly.  Given the lack of field reports of such issues,
I'm satisfied with patching back as far as the patch applies easily.

Change various places in the code that are referencing the global

work, we're going to need multiple Archive(Handle) objects, so the
real solution here is to pass down the Archive object to everywhere
that it needs to go, but we might as well pick the low-hanging fruit
first.

Tom Lane c6d76d7c82 Add locking around WAL-replay modification of shared-memory variables.
Originally, most of this code assumed that no Postgres backends could be
running concurrently with it, and so no locking could be needed.  That
assumption fails in Hot Standby.  While it's still true that Hot Standby
backends should never change values like nextXid, they can examine them,
and consistency is important in some cases such as when computing a
snapshot.  Therefore, prudence requires that WAL replay code obtain the
relevant locks when modifying such variables, even though it can examine
them without taking a lock.  We were following that coding rule in some
places but not all.  This commit applies the coding rule uniformly to all
updates of ShmemVariableCache and MultiXactState fields; a search of the
replay routines did not find any other cases that seemed to be at risk.

In addition, this commit fixes a longstanding thinko in replay of NEXTOID
and checkpoint records: we tried to advance nextOid only if it was behind
the value in the WAL record, but the comparison would draw the wrong
conclusion if OID wraparound had occurred since the previous value.
Better to just unconditionally assign the new value, since OID assignment
shouldn't be happening during replay anyway.

The additional locking seems to be more in the nature of future-proofing
than fixing any live bug, so I am not going to back-patch it.  The NEXTOID
fix will be back-patched separately.

Tom Lane 17118825b8 Fix transient clobbering of shared buffers during WAL replay.
RestoreBkpBlocks was in the habit of zeroing and refilling the target
buffer; which was perfectly safe when the code was written, but is unsafe
during Hot Standby operation.  The reason is that we have coding rules
that allow backends to continue accessing a tuple in a heap relation while
holding only a pin on its buffer.  Such a backend could see transiently
zeroed data, if WAL replay had occasion to change other data on the page.
This has been shown to be the cause of bug #6425 from Duncan Rance (who
deserves kudos for developing a sufficiently-reproducible test case) as
well as Bridget Frey's re-report of bug #6200.  It most likely explains the
original report as well, though we don't yet have confirmation of that.

To fix, change the code so that only bytes that are supposed to change will
change, even transiently.  This actually saves cycles in RestoreBkpBlocks,
since it's not writing the same bytes twice.

Also fix seq_redo, which has the same disease, though it has to work a bit
harder to meet the requirement.

So far as I can tell, no other WAL replay routines have this type of bug.
In particular, the index-related replay routines, which would certainly be
broken if they had to meet the same standard, are not at risk because we
do not have coding rules that allow access to an index page when not
holding a buffer lock on it.

Back-patch to 9.0 where Hot Standby was added.
