We don't actually support session tickets, since we do not create an SSL
session identifier. But it seems that OpenSSL will issue a session ticket
on-demand anyway, which will then fail when used. This results in
reconnection failures when using ticket-aware client-side SSL libraries
(such as the Npgsql .NET driver), as reported by Shay Rojansky.
To fix, just tell OpenSSL not to issue tickets. At some point in the
far future, we might consider enabling tickets instead. But the security
implications of that aren't entirely clear; and besides it would have
little benefit except for very short-lived database connections, which is
Something We're Bad At anyhow. It would take a lot of other work to get
to a point where that would really be an exciting thing to do.
While at it, also tell OpenSSL not to use a session cache. This doesn't
really do anything, since a backend would never populate the cache anyway,
but it might gain some micro-efficiencies and/or reduce security
exposures.
Patch by me, per discussion with Heikki Linnakangas and Shay Rojansky.

Because we push all ACL (i.e. GRANT/REVOKE) restore steps to the end,
materialized view refreshes were occurring while the permissions on
referenced objects were still at defaults. This led to failures if,
say, an MV owned by user A reads from a table owned by user B, even
if B had granted the necessary privileges to A. We've had multiple
complaints about that type of restore failure, most recently from
Jordan Gigov.
The ideal fix for this would be to start treating ACLs as dependency-
sortable objects, rather than hard-wiring anything about their dump order
(the existing approach is a messy kluge dating to commit dc0e76ca3).
But that's going to be a rather major change, and it certainly wouldn't
lead to a back-patchable fix. As a short-term solution, convert the
existing two-pass hack (ie, normal objects then ACLs) to a three-pass hack,
ie, normal objects then ACLs then matview refreshes. Because this happens
in RestoreArchive(), it will also fix the problem when restoring from an
existing archive-format dump.
(Note this means that if a matview refresh would have failed under the
permissions prevailing at dump time, it'll fail during restore as well.
We'll define that as user error rather than something we should try
to work around.)
To avoid performance loss in parallel restore, we need the matview
refreshes to still be parallelizable. Hence, clean things up enough
so that both ACLs and matviews are handled by the parallel restore
infrastructure, instead of reverting back to serial restore for ACLs.
There is still a final serial step, but it shouldn't normally have to
do anything; it's only there to try to recover if we get stuck due to
some problem like unresolved circular dependencies.
Patch by me, but it owes something to an earlier attempt by Kevin Grittner.

Commit 4d57e83816 added support for getting I/O errors out of zlib,
but it introduced a portability problem for systems without zlib.
Repair by wrapping the zlib call inside #ifdef and restore the original
code in the other branch.
This serves to illustrate the inadequacy of the zlib abstraction in
pg_backup_archiver: there is no way to call gzerror() in that
abstraction. This means that the several places that call GZREAD and
GZWRITE are currently doing error reporting wrongly, but ENOTIME to get
it fixed before next week's release set.
Backpatch to 9.4, like the commit that introduced the problem.
Some error reports were reporting strerror(errno), which for some error
conditions coming from zlib are wrong, resulting in confusing reports
such as
pg_restore: [compress_io] could not read from input file: Success
which makes no sense. To correctly extract the error message we need to
use gzerror(), so let's do that.
This isn't as comprehensive or as neat as I would like, but at least it
should improve things in many common cases. The zlib abstraction in
compress_io does not seem to be applied consistently enough; we could
perhaps improve that, but it seems master-only material, not a bug fix
for back-patching.
This problem goes back all the way, but I decided to apply back to 9.4
only, because older branches don't contain commit 14ea89366 which this
change depends on.

init_htab(), with #define HASH_DEBUG, prints a bunch of hashtable
parameters. It used to also print nentries, but commit 44ca4022f changed
that to "hash_get_num_entries(hctl)", which is wrong (the parameter should
be "hashp").
Rather than correct the coding, though, let's just remove that field from
the printout. The table must be empty, since we just finished building
it, so expensively calculating the number of entries is rather pointless.
Moreover hash_get_num_entries makes assumptions (about not needing locks)
which we could do without in debugging code.

Previously the docs just said "5.8 or later". Experimentation shows
that while you can build on Unix from a git checkout with 5.8.0,
compiling recent PL/Perl requires at least 5.8.1, and you won't be

they added "prove". (I do not have any information on just what the
MSVC build scripts require.)

Fix assorted places that had not bothered with the convention of
prefixing catalog and function names with "pg_catalog.". That
could possibly result in query failure when running with a nondefault
search_path. Also fix two places that weren't quoting OID literals.
I think the latter hasn't mattered much since about 7.3, but it's still
a bad idea to be doing it in 99 places and not in 2 others.
Also remove a useless EXISTS sub-select that someone had stuck into
describeOneTableDetails' queries for child tables. We just got the OID
out of pg_class, so I hardly see how checking that it exists in pg_class
was doing anything helpful.
In passing, try to improve the emitted formatting of a couple of
these queries, though I didn't work really hard on that. And merge
unnecessarily duplicative coding in some other places.
Much of this was new in HEAD, but some was quite old; back-patch

If several sessions are concurrently locking a tuple update chain with
nonconflicting lock modes using an old snapshot, and they all succeed,
it may happen that some of them fail because of restarting the loop (due
to a concurrent Xmax change) and getting an error in the subsequent pass
while trying to obtain a tuple lock that they already have in some tuple
version.
This can only happen with very high concurrency (where a row is being
both updated and FK-checked by multiple transactions concurrently), but
it's been observed in the field and can have unpleasant consequences
such as an FK check failing to see a tuple that definitely exists:
ERROR: insert or update on table "child_table" violates foreign key constraint "fk_constraint_name"
DETAIL: Key (keyid)=(123456) is not present in table "parent_table".
(where the key is observably present in the table).

This module becomes much more useful if we allow it to be used as base

get_new_node function into a class method instead, and use the standard

as expected for subclasses. The standalone function is kept for

Trading a little too heavily on letting the code path be the same whether
we were creating shared data structures or only attaching to them,
InitPredicateLocks() inserted the "scratch" PredicateLockTargetHash entry
unconditionally. This is just wrong if we're in a postmaster child,
which would only reach this code in EXEC_BACKEND builds. Most of the
time, the hash_search(HASH_ENTER) call would simply report that the
entry already existed, causing no visible effect since the code did not
bother to check for that possibility. However, if this happened while
some other backend had transiently removed the "scratch" entry, then
that other backend's eventual RestoreScratchTarget would suffer an
assert failure; this appears to be the explanation for a recent failure
on buildfarm member culicidae. In non-assert builds, there would be
no visible consequences there either. But nonetheless this is a pretty
bad bug for EXEC_BACKEND builds, for two reasons:
1. Each new backend would perform the hash_search(HASH_ENTER) call
without holding any lock that would prevent concurrent access to the
PredicateLockTargetHash hash table. This creates a low but certainly
nonzero risk of corruption of that hash table.
2. In the event that the race condition occurred, by reinserting the
scratch entry too soon, we were defeating the entire purpose of the
scratch entry, namely to guarantee that transaction commit could move
hash table entries around with no risk of out-of-memory failure.
The odds of an actual OOM failure are quite low, but not zero, and if
it did happen it would again result in corruption of the hash table.
The user-visible symptoms of such corruption are a little hard to predict,
but would presumably amount to misbehavior of SERIALIZABLE transactions
that'd require a crash or postmaster restart to fix.
To fix, just skip the hash insertion if IsUnderPostmaster. I also
inserted a bunch of assertions that the expected things happen
depending on whether IsUnderPostmaster is true. That might be overkill,
since most comparable code in other functions isn't quite that paranoid,
but once burnt twice shy.
In passing, also move a couple of lines to places where they seemed
to make more sense.

If the user modifies a view that has CHECK OPTIONs and this gets
translated into a modification to an underlying relation which happens
to be a foreign table, the check options should be enforced. In the
normal code path, that was happening properly, but it was not working
properly for "direct" modification because the whole operation gets
pushed to the remote side in that case and we never have an option to
enforce the constraint against individual tuples. Fix by disabling
direct modification when there is a need to enforce CHECK OPTIONs.

Various cases involving renaming of view columns are handled by having
make_viewdef pass down the view's current relation tupledesc to
get_query_def, which then takes care to use the column names from the
tupledesc for the output column names of the SELECT. For some reason
though, we'd missed teaching make_ruledef to do similarly when it is
printing an ON SELECT rule, even though this is exactly the same case.
The results from pg_get_ruledef would then be different and arguably wrong.
In particular, this breaks pre-v10 versions of pg_dump, which in some
situations would define views by means of emitting a CREATE RULE ... ON
SELECT command. Third-party tools might not be happy either.
In passing, clean up some crufty code in make_viewdef; we'd apparently
modernized the equivalent code in make_ruledef somewhere along the way,

When incrementally updating a file larger than 2GB, the old code could
either fail outright (if the client asked the server for bytes beyond
the 2GB boundary) or fail to copy all the blocks that had actually
been modified (if the server reported a file size to the client in
excess of 2GB), resulting in data corruption. Generally, such files
won't occur anyway, but they might if using a non-default segment size
or if there the directory contains stray files unrelated to
PostgreSQL. Fix by a more prudent choice of data types.
Even with these improvements, this code still uses a mix of different
types (off_t, size_t, uint64, int64) to represent file sizes and
offsets, not all of which necessarily have the same width or
signedness, so further cleanup might be in order here. However, at
least now they all have the potential to be 64 bits wide on 64-bit

Claiming that NATURAL JOIN is equivalent to CROSS JOIN when there are

Normally, a JoinExpr would have empty "quals" only if it came from CROSS
JOIN syntax. However, it's possible to get to this state by specifying
NATURAL JOIN between two tables with no common column names, and there
might be other ways too. The code previously printed no ON clause if
"quals" was empty; that's right for CROSS JOIN but syntactically invalid
if it's some type of outer join. Fix by printing ON TRUE in that case.

In the frontend Makefiles that pull in libpgfeutils, we'd generally
done it like this:
LDFLAGS += -L$(top_builddir)/src/fe_utils -lpgfeutils $(libpq_pgport)
That method is badly broken, as seen in bug #14742 from Chris Ruprecht.
The -L flag for src/fe_utils ends up being placed after whatever random
-L flags are in LDFLAGS already. That puts us at risk of pulling in
libpgfeutils.a from some previous installation rather than the freshly
built one in src/fe_utils. Also, the lack of an "override" is hazardous
if someone tries to specify some LDFLAGS on the make command line.
The correct way to do it is like this:
override LDFLAGS := -L$(top_builddir)/src/fe_utils -lpgfeutils $(libpq_pgport) $(LDFLAGS)
so that libpgfeutils, along with libpq, libpgport, and libpgcommon, are
guaranteed to be pulled in from the build tree and not from any referenced
system directory, because their -L flags will appear first.
In some places we'd been even lazier and done it like this:
LDFLAGS += -L$(top_builddir)/src/fe_utils -lpgfeutils -lpq
which is subtly wrong in an additional way: on platforms where we can't
restrict the symbols exported by libpq.so, it allows libpgfeutils to
latch onto libpgport and libpgcommon symbols from libpq.so, rather than
directly from those static libraries as intended. This carries hazards
like those explained in the comments for the libpq_pgport macro.
In addition to fixing the broken libpgfeutils usages, I tried to
standardize on using $(libpq_pgport) like so:
override LDFLAGS := $(libpq_pgport) $(LDFLAGS)
even where libpgfeutils is not in the picture. This makes no difference
right now but will hopefully discourage future mistakes of the same ilk.
And it's more like the way we handle CPPFLAGS in libpq-using Makefiles.
In passing, just for consistency, make pgbench include PTHREAD_LIBS the
same way everyplace else does, ie just after LIBS rather than in some
random place in the command line. This might have practical effect if
there are -L switches in that macro on some platform.
It looks to me like the MSVC build scripts are not affected by this
error, but someone more familiar with them than I might want to double
check.
Back-patch to 9.6 where libpgfeutils was introduced. In 9.6, the hazard
this error creates is that a reinstallation might link to the prior

The grammar will only accept something syntactically similar to a function

The race condition goes like this:
1. GetNewTransactionId advances nextXid e.g. from 100 to 101
2. GetOldestActiveTransactionId reads the new nextXid, 101
3. GetOldestActiveTransactionId loops through the proc array. There are no
active XIDs there, so it returns 101 as the oldest active XID.
4. GetNewTransactionid stores XID 100 to MyPgXact->xid
So, GetOldestActiveTransactionId returned XID 101, even though 100 only
just started and is surely still running.
This would be hard to hit in practice, and even harder to spot any ill
effect if it happens. GetOldestActiveTransactionId is only used when
creating a checkpoint in a master server, and the race condition can only
happen on an online checkpoint, as there are no backends running during a
shutdown checkpoint. The oldestActiveXid value of an online checkpoint is
only used when starting up a hot standby server, to determine the starting
point where pg_subtrans is initialized from. For the race condition to
happen, there must be no other XIDs in the proc array that would hold back
the oldest-active XID value, which means that the missed XID must be a top
transaction's XID. However, pg_subtrans is not used for top XIDs, so I
believe an off-by-one error is in fact inconsequential. Nevertheless, let's
fix it, as it's clearly wrong and the fix is simple.

Further investigation shows that ruleutils isn't quite up to speed either
for cases where we have a domain-over-array: it needs to be prepared to

result in failure to dump/reload a rule, if it looked like the one in the
