Remove the code in plpgsql that suppressed the innermost line of CONTEXT
for messages emitted by RAISE commands. That was never more than a quick
backwards-compatibility hack, and it's pretty silly in cases where the
RAISE is nested in several levels of function. What's more, it violated
our design theory that verbosity of error reports should be controlled
on the client side not the server side.
To alleviate the resulting noise increase, introduce a feature in libpq
and psql whereby the CONTEXT field of messages can be suppressed, either
always or only for non-error messages. Printing CONTEXT for errors only
is now their default behavior.
The actual code changes here are pretty small, but the effects on the
regression test outputs are widespread. I had to edit some of the
alternative expected outputs by hand; hopefully the buildfarm will soon
find anything I fat-fingered.
In passing, fix up (again) the output line counts in psql's various
help displays. Add some commentary about how to verify them.

Most suites already did so via start_test_server(), but the pg_rewind,
pg_ctl and pg_controldata suites ran a postmaster or initdb with fsync
enabled. This halves the pg_rewind suite's runtime on buildfarm member
tern. It makes tern and that machine's other buildfarm members less
vulnerable to noise failures from postmaster startup overrunning the 60s
pg_ctl timeout. Back-patch to 9.5, where pg_rewind was introduced.
Until 9.4, pg_controldata output was all aligned. At some point
during 9.5 development, a new item was added, namely
"Current track_commit_timestamp setting:" which is two characters
too long to be aligned with the rest of the output. Fix this by
removing the noise word "Current" and adding the requisite number
of padding spaces. Since the six preceding items are also similar
in nature, remove "Current" and pad those as well in order to
maintain overall consistency. Backpatch to 9.5 where new offending
item was added.
This fixes a bunch of somewhat pedantic warnings with new
compilers. Since by far the majority of other functions definitions use
the (void) style it just seems to be consistent to do so as well in the
remaining few places.
Since a179232047 (vacuumdb: enable parallel mode) -1 has been assigned
to a boolean. That can, justifiedly, trigger compiler warnings. There's
also no need for ternary logic, result was only ever set to 0 or -1. So
don't.

Backpatch: 9.4 where replica identity was introduced.
pg_dump produced fairly silly GRANT/REVOKE commands when dumping types from
pre-9.2 servers, and when dumping functions or procedural languages from
pre-7.3 servers. Those server versions lack the typacl, proacl, and/or
lanacl columns respectively, and pg_dump substituted default values that
were in fact incorrect. We ended up revoking all the owner's own
privileges for the object while granting all privileges to PUBLIC.
Of course the owner would then have those privileges again via PUBLIC, so
long as she did not try to revoke PUBLIC's privileges; which may explain
the lack of field reports. Nonetheless this is pretty silly behavior.
The stakes were raised by my recent patch to make pg_dump dump shell types,
because 9.2 and up pg_dump would proceed to emit bogus GRANT/REVOKE
commands for a shell type if dumping from a pre-9.2 server; and the server
will not accept GRANT/REVOKE commands for a shell type. (Perhaps it
should, but that's a topic for another day.) So the resulting dump script
wouldn't load without errors.
The right thing to do is to act as though these objects have default
privileges (null ACL entries), which causes pg_dump to print no
GRANT/REVOKE commands at all for them. That fixes the silly results
and also dodges the problem with shell types.
In passing, modify getProcLangs() to be less creatively different about
how to handle missing columns when dumping from older server versions.
Every other data-acquisition function in pg_dump does that by substituting
appropriate default values in the version-specific SQL commands, and I see
no reason why this one should march to its own drummer. Its use of
"SELECT *" was likewise not conformant with anyplace else, not to mention
it's not considered good SQL style for production queries.
Back-patch to all supported versions. Although 9.0 and 9.1 pg_dump don't
have the issue with typacl, they are more likely than newer versions to be
used to dump from ancient servers, so we ought to fix the proacl/lanacl
issues all the way back.
Several versions of the perl that comes with the Msys DTK have been
found to have a bug that fails to recognize a ' before a multiline $ in
some circumstances. To work around the problem, use a character class
for the '. Another solution would have been to use \n instead of $, but
that would have changed the test semantics very slightly.
Immediately starting to stream after --create-slot is inconvenient in a
number of situations (e.g. when configuring a slot for use in
recovery.conf) and it's easy to just call pg_receivexlog twice in the
rest of the cases.

On Windows, use listen_address=127.0.0.1 to allow TCP connections. We were
already using "pg_regress --config-auth" to set up HBA appropriately. The
standard_initdb helper function now sets up the server's
unix_socket_directories or listen_addresses in the config file, so that
they don't need to be specified in the pg_ctl command line anymore. That
way, the pg_ctl invocations in test programs don't need to differ between
Windows and Unix.
Add another helper function to configure the server's pg_hba.conf to allow
replication connections. The configuration is done similarly to "pg_regress
--config-auth": trust on domain sockets on Unix, and SSPI authentication on
Windows.

The original implementation of TABLESAMPLE modeled the tablesample method
API on index access methods, which wasn't a good choice because, without
specialized DDL commands, there's no way to build an extension that can
implement a TSM. (Raw inserts into system catalogs are not an acceptable
thing to do, because we can't undo them during DROP EXTENSION, nor will
pg_upgrade behave sanely.) Instead adopt an API more like procedural
language handlers or foreign data wrappers, wherein the only SQL-level
support object needed is a single handler function identified by having
a special return type. This lets us get rid of the supporting catalog
altogether, so that no custom DDL support is needed for the feature.
Adjust the API so that it can support non-constant tablesample arguments
(the original coding assumed we could evaluate the argument expressions at
ExecInitSampleScan time, which is undesirable even if it weren't outright
unsafe), and discourage sampling methods from looking at invisible tuples.
Make sure that the BERNOULLI and SYSTEM methods are genuinely repeatable
within and across queries, as required by the SQL standard, and deal more
honestly with methods that can't support that requirement.

assorted bugs, omissions, infelicities, and cosmetic issues (such as

Create a log file for each test run. Stdout and stderr of the test script,
as well as any subprocesses run as part of the test, are redirected to
the log file. This makes it a lot easier to debug test failures. Also print
the test output (ok 12 - ... messages) to the log file, and the command
line of any external programs executed with the system_or_bail and run_log
functions. This makes it a lot easier to debug failing tests.
Modify some of the pg_ctl and other command invocations to not use 'silent'
or 'quiet' options, and don't redirect output to /dev/null, so that you get
all the information in the log instead.
In the passing, construct some command lines in a way that works if $tempdir
contains quote-characters. I haven't systematically gone through all of
them or tested that, so I don't know if this is enough to make that work.
pg_rewind tests had a custom mechanism for creating a similar log file. Use

SUSv2-era shells don't set the PWD variable, though anything more modern
does. In the buildfarm environment this could lead to test.sh executing

branch subdirectories. This appears to be the explanation for recent
intermittent failures on buildfarm members binturong and dingo (and might
well have something to do with the buildfarm script's failure to capture
log files from pg_upgrade tests, too).
To fix, just use `pwd` in place of $PWD. AFAICS test.sh is the only place
in our source tree that depended on $PWD. Back-patch to all versions

The commit c22ed3d523 turned
the -i/--ignore-version options into no-ops and marked as deprecated.
Considering we shipped that in 8.4, it's time to remove all trace of
those switches, per discussion. We'd still have to wait a couple releases
before it'd be safe to use -i for something else, but it'd be a start.
The fsync code from the backend essentially assumes that somebody's already
validated PGDATA, at least to the extent of it being a readable directory.
That's safe enough for initdb's normal code path too, but "initdb -S"
doesn't have any other processing at all that touches the target directory.
To have reasonable error-case behavior, add a pg_check_dir call.
Per gripe from Peter E.
The argument that this is a sufficiently-expected case to be silently
ignored seems pretty thin. Andres had brought it up back when we were
still considering that most fsync failures should be hard errors, and it
probably would be legit not to fail hard for ETXTBSY --- but the same is
true for EROFS and other cases, which is why we gave up on hard failures.
ETXTBSY is surely not a normal case, so logging the failure seems fine
from here.
Make initdb's version of this logic look as much like the backend's
as possible. This is much less critical than in the backend since not
so many people use "initdb -S", but we want the same corner-case error
handling in both cases.
Back-patch to 9.3 where initdb -S option was introduced. Before that,
initdb only had to deal with freshly-created data directories, wherein
no failures should be expected.

The previous coding suffered a null-pointer dereference if it found any
symlink at the top level of $PGDATA. Fix that, and teach it to recurse
into a symlink for pg_xlog, but not anything else.
Per note from Abhijit Menon-Sen.
Ensure that we null-terminate the result string (one place in pg_rewind).
Be paranoid about out-of-range results from readlink() (should not happen,
but there is no good reason for some call sites to be careful about it and
others not). Consistently use the whole buffer, not sometimes one byte
less. Ensure we emit an appropriate errcode() in all cases. Spell the
error messages the same way.
The only serious bug here is the missing null-termination in pg_rewind,
which is new code, so no need for a back-patch.

Windows can't reliably restore symbolic links from a tar format, so
instead during backup start we create a tablespace_map file, which is
used by the restoring postgres to create the correct links in pg_tblspc.
The backup protocol also now has an option to request this file to be
included in the backup stream, and this is used by pg_basebackup when
operating in tar mode.
This is done on all platforms, not just Windows.
This means that pg_basebackup will not not work in tar mode against 9.4
and older servers, as this protocol option isn't implemented there.

The newly added ON CONFLICT clause allows to specify an alternative to
raising a unique or exclusion constraint violation error when inserting.
ON CONFLICT refers to constraints that can either be specified using a
inference clause (by specifying the columns of a unique constraint) or
by naming a unique or exclusion constraint. DO NOTHING avoids the
constraint violation, without touching the pre-existing row. DO UPDATE
SET ... [WHERE ...] updates the pre-existing tuple, and has access to
both the tuple proposed for insertion and the existing tuple; the
optional WHERE clause can be used to prevent an update from being
executed. The UPDATE SET and WHERE clauses have access to the tuple
proposed for insertion using the "magic" EXCLUDED alias, and to the
pre-existing tuple using the table name or its alias.
This feature is often referred to as upsert.
This is implemented using a new infrastructure called "speculative
insertion". It is an optimistic variant of regular insertion that first
does a pre-check for existing tuples and then attempts an insert. If a
violating tuple was inserted concurrently, the speculatively inserted
tuple is deleted and a new attempt is made. If the pre-check finds a
matching tuple the alternative DO NOTHING or DO UPDATE action is taken.
If the insertion succeeds without detecting a conflict, the tuple is
deemed inserted.
To handle the possible ambiguity between the excluded alias and a table
named excluded, and for convenience with long relation names, INSERT
INTO now can alias its target table.

pg_rewind looks at the control file to determine the server's timeline. If
the standby performs a "fast promotion", the timeline ID in the control
file is not updated until the next checkpoint. The startup process requests
a checkpoint immediately after promotion, so this is unlikely to be an
issue in the real world, but the regression suite ran pg_rewind so quickly
after promotion that the checkpoint had not yet completed.
Reported by Stephen Frost
The "check" target no longer needs to depend on "all", because it now
runs "install" directly, which in turn depends on "all". Doing both
will cause problems with parallel make, because two builds will run next
to each other.
Also remove the redirection of the temp-install output into a log file.
This was appropriate when this was done from within pg_regress, but now
it's just a regular make run, and especially with the above changes this
will now take the place of running the "all" target before the test
suites.
problem report by Jeff Janes, patch in part by Michael Paquier
When implementing a replication solution ontop of logical decoding, two
related problems exist:
* How to safely keep track of replication progress
* How to change replication behavior, based on the origin of a row;
e.g. to avoid loops in bi-directional replication setups
The solution to these problems, as implemented here, consist out of
three parts:
1) 'replication origins', which identify nodes in a replication setup.
2) 'replication progress tracking', which remembers, for each
replication origin, how far replay has progressed in a efficient and
crash safe manner.
3) The ability to filter out changes performed on the behest of a
replication origin during logical decoding; this allows complex
replication topologies. E.g. by filtering all replayed changes out.
Most of this could also be implemented in "userspace", e.g. by inserting
additional rows contain origin information, but that ends up being much
less efficient and more complicated. We don't want to require various
replication solutions to reimplement logic for this independently. The
infrastructure is intended to be generic enough to be reusable.
This infrastructure also replaces the 'nodeid' infrastructure of commit
timestamps. It is intended to provide all the former capabilities,
except that there's only 2^16 different origins; but now they integrate
with logical decoding. Additionally more functionality is accessible via
SQL. Since the commit timestamp infrastructure has also been introduced
in 9.5 (commit 73c986add) changing the API is not a problem.
For now the number of origins for which the replication progress can be
tracked simultaneously is determined by the max_replication_slots
GUC. That GUC is not a perfect match to configure this, but there
doesn't seem to be sufficient reason to introduce a separate new one.

The majority practice is to add -DFRONTEND in directories building files
that are, at other times, built for the backend. Some directories
lacking that property added a noise -DFRONTEND in one build system.
Remove the excess flags, for consistency.
Before, make check-world would create a new temporary installation for
each test suite, which is slow and wasteful. Instead, we now create one
test installation that is used by all test suites that are part of a
make run.
The management of the temporary installation is removed from pg_regress
and handled in the makefiles. This allows for better control, and
unifies the code with that of test suites not run through pg_regress.

There were a couple of hard-coded sleeps in the tests: to wait for standby
to catch up with master, and to wait for promotion with "pg_ctl promote"
to complete. Instead of a fixed, hard-coded sleep, poll the server with a
query once a second. This isn't ideal either, and I wish we had a better
solution for real-world applications too, but this should fix the
immediate problem.
Patch by Michael Paquier, with some editing by me.
Update comments and function names to use the terms "source" and "target"
consistently. Some places were calling them remote and local instead, which
was confusing.
Fix incorrect comment in extractPageInfo on database creation record - it
was wrong on what happens for databases created in the target that don't
exist in source.
Now that the test servers are initialized twice in each .pl script,
the single END block is not enough to stop them. Add a new clean_rewind_test
function that is called at the end of each test.

Previously, these functions were created in a schema "binary_upgrade",
which was deleted after pg_upgrade was finished. Because we don't want
to keep that schema around permanently, move them to pg_catalog but
rename them with a binary_upgrade_... prefix.
The provided functions are only small wrappers around global variables
that were added specifically for pg_upgrade use, so keeping the module
separate does not create any modularity.
The functions still check that they are only called in binary upgrade
mode, so it is not possible to call these during normal operation.

preparation for next patch that will add another implementation that uses
Intel SSE 4.2 instructions to calculate CRC-32C, where available.

* Don't pass arguments to prove, since that's not supported on perl 5.8
which is the minimum version supported by the TAP tests. Refactor the
test files themselves to run the tests twice, in both local and remote mode.
* Use eq rather than == for string comparison. This thinko caused the remote
versions of the tests to never run.
* Add "use strict" and "use warnings", and fix warnings that that produced.
* Increase the delay after standby promotion, to make the tests more robust.
* In remote mode, the connection string to the promoted standby was
incorrect, leading to connection errors.

While gcc doesn't complain if you declare a function "static" and then
define it not-static, other compilers do; and in any case the code is
highly misleading this way. Add the missing "static" keywords to a
couple of recent patches. Per buildfarm member pademelon.
Don't allow pg_rewind to run as root on Unix platforms, as any new or
replaced files in the data directory would become owned by root. On Windows,
it can run under a user that has Administrator rights, but a restricted
token needs to be used. This is the same we do e.g. in pg_resetxlog.
Also, add missing set_pglocale_pgservice() call, to fix localization.

Some of the TAP tests were supposing that PG programs would accept switches
after non-switch arguments on their command lines. While GNU getopt_long()
does allow that, our own implementation does not, and it's nowhere
suggested in our documentation that such cases should work. Adjust the
tests to use only the documented syntax.
Back-patch to 9.4, since without this the TAP tests fail when run with
src/port's getopt_long() implementation.

This is the second try at this, after fcef161729 failed miserably and
had to be reverted: as it turns out, libpq cannot depend on libpgcommon
after all. Instead of shuffling code in the master branch, make that one
just like 9.4 and accept the duplication. (This was all my own mistake,
not the patch submitter's).
psql was already accepting conninfo strings as the first parameter in
\connect, but the way it worked wasn't sane; some of the other
parameters would get the previous connection's values, causing it to
connect to a completely unexpected server or, more likely, not finding
any server at all because of completely wrong combinations of
parameters.
Fix by explicitely checking for a conninfo-looking parameter in the
dbname position; if one is found, use its complete specification rather
than mix with the other arguments. Also, change tab-completion to not
try to complete conninfo/URI-looking "dbnames" and document that
conninfos are accepted as first argument.
There was a weak consensus to backpatch this, because while the behavior
of using the dbname as a conninfo is nowhere documented for \connect, it
is reasonable to expect that it works because it does work in many other
contexts. Therefore this is backpatched all the way back to 9.0.

Backpatch to all live branches. On the development branch the code is

Bugs all spotted by Coverity, including wrong realloc() size request

The usage of the global variable "filemap" here is still pretty awful,
but at least I got rid of the gratuitous aliasing in several routines
(which was helping to annoy Coverity, as well as being a bug risk).
If set, the pager will not be used unless this many lines are to be

meaning it's disabled.
There is probably more work to be done in giving the user control over

pager regardless of how many lines there are, but this is a start.
This improves on commit bbfd7edae5 by
making two simple changes:
* pg_attribute_noreturn now takes parentheses, ie pg_attribute_noreturn().
Likewise pg_attribute_unused(), pg_attribute_packed(). This reduces
pgindent's tendency to misformat declarations involving them.
* attributes are now always attached to function declarations, not
definitions. Previously some places were taking creative shortcuts,
which were not merely candidates for bad misformatting by pgindent
but often were outright wrong anyway. (It does little good to put a
noreturn annotation where callers can't see it.) In any case, if
we would like to believe that these macros can be used with non-gcc
compilers, we should avoid gratuitous variance in usage patterns.
I also went through and manually improved the formatting of a lot of
declarations, and got rid of excessively repetitive (and now obsolete
anyway) comments informing the reader what pg_attribute_printf is for.
Earlier versions of this tool were available (and still are) on github.

Foreign tables can now be inheritance children, or parents. Much of the
system was already ready for this, but we had to fix a few things of
course, mostly in the area of planner and executor handling of row locks.
As side effects of this, allow foreign tables to have NOT VALID CHECK
constraints (and hence to accept ALTER ... VALIDATE CONSTRAINT), and to
accept ALTER SET STORAGE and ALTER SET WITH/WITHOUT OIDS. Continuing to
disallow these things would've required bizarre and inconsistent special
cases in inheritance behavior. Since foreign tables don't enforce CHECK
constraints anyway, a NOT VALID one is a complete no-op, but that doesn't
mean we shouldn't allow it. And it's possible that some FDWs might have
use for SET STORAGE or SET WITH OIDS, though doubtless they will be no-ops
for most.
An additional change in support of this is that when a ModifyTable node
has multiple target tables, they will all now be explicitly identified
in EXPLAIN output, for example:
Update on pt1 (cost=0.00..321.05 rows=3541 width=46)
Update on pt1
Foreign Update on ft1
Foreign Update on ft2
Update on child3
-> Seq Scan on pt1 (cost=0.00..0.00 rows=1 width=46)
-> Foreign Scan on ft1 (cost=100.00..148.03 rows=1170 width=46)
-> Foreign Scan on ft2 (cost=100.00..148.03 rows=1170 width=46)
-> Seq Scan on child3 (cost=0.00..25.00 rows=1200 width=46)
This was done mainly to provide an unambiguous place to attach "Remote SQL"
fields, but it is useful for inherited updates even when no foreign tables
are involved.

GNU readline defines the return value of write_history() as "zero if OK,
else an errno code". libedit's version of that function used to have a
different definition (to wit, "-1 if error, else the number of lines
written to the file"). We tried to work around that by checking whether
errno had become nonzero, but this method has never been kosher according
to the published API of either library. It's reportedly completely broken
in recent Ubuntu releases: psql bleats about "No such file or directory"
when saving ~/.psql_history, even though the write worked fine.
However, libedit has been following the readline definition since somewhere
around 2006, so it seems all right to finally break compatibility with
ancient libedit releases and trust that the return value is what readline
specifies. (I'm not sure when the various Linux distributions incorporated
this fix, but I did find that OS X has been shipping fixed versions since
10.5/Leopard.)
If anyone is still using such an ancient libedit, they will find that psql
complains it can't write ~/.psql_history at exit, even when the file was
written correctly. This is no worse than the behavior we're fixing for
current releases.
Back-patch to all supported branches.
While the SQL standard is pretty vague on the overall topic of operator
precedence (because it never presents a unified BNF for all expressions),
it does seem reasonable to conclude from the spec for <boolean value
expression> that OR has the lowest precedence, then AND, then NOT, then IS
tests, then the six standard comparison operators, then everything else
(since any non-boolean operator in a WHERE clause would need to be an
argument of one of these).
We were only sort of on board with that: most notably, while "<" ">" and
"=" had properly low precedence, "<=" ">=" and "<>" were treated as generic
operators and so had significantly higher precedence. And "IS" tests were
even higher precedence than those, which is very clearly wrong per spec.
Another problem was that "foo NOT SOMETHING bar" constructs, such as
"x NOT LIKE y", were treated inconsistently because of a bison
implementation artifact: they had the documented precedence with respect
to operators to their right, but behaved like NOT (i.e., very low priority)
with respect to operators to their left.
Fixing the precedence issues is just a small matter of rearranging the
precedence declarations in gram.y, except for the NOT problem, which
requires adding an additional lookahead case in base_yylex() so that we
can attach a different token precedence to NOT LIKE and allied two-word
operators.
The bulk of this patch is not the bug fix per se, but adding logic to
parse_expr.c to allow giving warnings if an expression has changed meaning
because of these precedence changes. These warnings are off by default
and are enabled by the new GUC operator_precedence_warning. It's believed
that very few applications will be affected by these changes, but it was
agreed that a warning mechanism is essential to help debug any that are.
Until now __attribute__() was defined to be empty for all compilers but
gcc. That's problematic because it prevents using it in other compilers;
which is necessary e.g. for atomics portability. It's also just
generally dubious to do so in a header as widely included as c.h.
Instead add pg_attribute_format_arg, pg_attribute_printf,
pg_attribute_noreturn macros which are implemented in the compilers that
understand them. Also add pg_attribute_noreturn and pg_attribute_packed,
but don't provide fallbacks, since they can affect functionality.
This means that external code that, possibly unwittingly, relied on
__attribute__ defined to be empty on !gcc compilers may now run into
warnings or errors on those compilers. But there shouldn't be many
occurances of that and it's hard to work around...

Commit 865f14a2d3 was quite a few bricks
shy of a load: psql, ecpg, and plpgsql were all left out-of-step with
the core lexer. Of these only the last was likely to be a fatal
problem; but still, a minimal amount of grepping, or even just reading
the comments adjacent to the places that were changed, would have found
the other places that needed to be changed.
Commit 7b583b20b1 created an unnecessary
dump failure hazard by applying pg_get_function_identity_arguments()
to every function in the database, even those that won't get dumped.
This could result in snapshot-related problems if concurrent sessions are,
for example, creating and dropping temporary functions, as noted by Marko
Tiikkaja in bug #12832. While this is by no means pg_dump's only such
issue with concurrent DDL, it's unfortunate that we added a new failure
mode for cases that used to work, and even more so that the failure was
created for basically cosmetic reasons (ie, to sort overloaded functions
more deterministically).
To fix, revert that patch and instead sort function arguments using
information that pg_dump has available anyway, namely the names of the
argument types. This will produce a slightly different sort ordering for
overloaded functions than the previous coding; but applying strcmp
directly to the output of pg_get_function_identity_arguments really was
a bit odd anyway. The sorting will still be name-based and hence
independent of possibly-installation-specific OID assignments. A small
additional benefit is that sorting now works regardless of server version.
Back-patch to 9.3, where the previous commit appeared.
Since 9.1, we've provided extensions with a way to denote
"configuration" tables- tables created by an extension which the user
may modify. By marking these as "configuration" tables, the extension
is asking for the data in these tables to be pg_dump'd (tables which
are not marked in this way are assumed to be entirely handled during
CREATE EXTENSION and are not included at all in a pg_dump).
Unfortunately, pg_dump neglected to consider foreign key relationships
between extension configuration tables and therefore could end up
trying to reload the data in an order which would cause FK violations.
This patch teaches pg_dump about these dependencies, so that the data
dumped out is done so in the best order possible. Note that there's no
way to handle circular dependencies, but those have yet to be seen in
the wild.
The release notes for this should include a caution to users that
existing pg_dump-based backups may be invalid due to this issue. The
data is all there, but restoring from it will require extracting the
data for the configuration tables and then loading them in the correct
order by hand.
Discussed initially back in bug #6738, more recently brought up by
Gilles Darold, who provided an initial patch which was further reworked
by Michael Paquier. Further modifications and documentation updates
by me.
Back-patch to 9.1 where we added the concept of extension configuration
tables.
The tar format (at least the version we are using), does not support
file names or symlink targets longer than 99 bytes. Until now, the tar
creation code would silently truncate any names that are too long. (Its
original application was pg_dump, where this never happens.) This
creates problems when running base backups over the replication
protocol.
The most important problem is when a tablespace path is longer than 99
bytes, which will result in a truncated tablespace path being backed up.
Less importantly, the basebackup protocol also promises to back up any
other files it happens to find in the data directory, which would also
lead to file name truncation if someone put a file with a long name in
there.
Now both of these cases result in an error during the backup.
Add tests that fail when a too-long file name or symlink is attempted to
be backed up.

Replace some bogus "x[1]" declarations with "x[FLEXIBLE_ARRAY_MEMBER]".
Aside from being more self-documenting, this should help prevent bogus

This patch is just a down payment on eliminating the whole problem, but
it gets rid of a lot of easy-to-fix cases.
Note that the main problem with doing this is that one must no longer rely
on computing sizeof(the containing struct), since the result would be
compiler-dependent. Instead use offsetof(struct, lastfield). Autoconf
also warns against spelling that offsetof(struct, lastfield[0]).

Somebody apparently threw darts at the code to decide where to insert

cfopen() and cfopen_write() failed to pass the compression level through

We already had one go at this issue in commit d73b7f973d, but we
failed to notice that buildACLCommands also leaked several PQExpBuffers
along with a simply malloc'd string. This time let's try to make the
fix a bit more future-proof by eliminating the separate exit path.
It's still not exactly critical because pg_dump will curl up and die on
failure; but since the amount of the potential leak is now several KB,
it seems worth back-patching as far as 9.2 where the previous fix landed.
Per Coverity, which evidently is smarter than clang's static analyzer.
Back in 2003 we had a discussion about how to decide which casts to dump.
At the time pg_dump really only considered an object's containing schema
to decide what to dump (ie, dump whatever's not in pg_catalog), and so
we chose a complicated idea involving whether the underlying types were to
be dumped (cf commit a6790ce857). But users
are allowed to create casts between built-in types, and we failed to dump
such casts. Let's get rid of that heuristic, which has accreted even more
ugliness since then, in favor of just looking at the cast's OID to decide
if it's a built-in cast or not.
In passing, also fix some really ancient code that supposed that it had to
manufacture a dependency for the cast on its cast function; that's only
true when dumping from a pre-7.3 server. This just resulted in some wasted
cycles and duplicate dependency-list entries with newer servers, but we
might as well improve it.

This makes it possible to query for things like the SSL version and cipher
used, without depending on OpenSSL functions or macros. That is a good
thing if we ever get another SSL implementation.
PQgetssl() still works, but it should be considered as deprecated as it
only works with OpenSSL. In particular, PQgetSslInUse() should be used to
check if a connection uses SSL, because as soon as we have another
implementation, PQgetssl() will return NULL even if SSL is in use.
"ECHO all" is ignored for interactive input, and has been for a very long
time, though possibly not for as long as the documentation has claimed the
opposite. Fix that, and also note that empty lines aren't echoed, which
while dubious is another longstanding behavior (it's embedded in our
regression test files for one thing). Per bug #12721 from Hans Ginzel.
In HEAD, also improve the code comments in this area, and suppress an
unnecessary fflush(stdout) when we're not echoing. That would likely
be safe to back-patch, but I'll not risk it mere hours before a release
wrap.
Since 9.3, when the --jobs option was introduced, using it together
with the --serializable-deferrable option generated multiple
errors. We can get correct behavior by allowing the connection
which acquires the snapshot to use SERIALIZABLE, READ ONLY,
DEFERRABLE and pass that to the workers running the other
connections using REPEATABLE READ, READ ONLY. This is a bit of a
kluge since the SERIALIZABLE behavior is achieved by running some
of the participating connections at a different isolation level,
but it is a simple and safe change, suitable for back-patching.
This will be followed by a proposal for a more invasive fix with
some slight behavioral changes on just the master branch, based on
suggestions from Andres Freund, but the kluge will be applied to
master until something is agreed along those lines.

Fix unsafe coding around PG_TRY in RelationBuildRowSecurity: can't change
a variable inside PG_TRY and then use it in PG_CATCH without marking it
"volatile". In this case though it seems saner to avoid that by doing
a single assignment before entering the TRY block.
I started out just intending to fix that, but the more I looked at the
row-security code the more distressed I got. This patch also fixes
incorrect construction of the RowSecurityPolicy cache entries (there was
not sufficient care taken to copy pass-by-ref data into the cache memory
context) and a whole bunch of sloppiness around the definition and use of
pg_policy.polcmd. You can't use nulls in that column because initdb will
mark it NOT NULL --- and I see no particular reason why a null entry would
be a good idea anyway, so changing initdb's behavior is not the right
answer. The internal value of '\0' wouldn't be suitable in a "char" column
either, so after a bit of thought I settled on using '*' to represent ALL.
Chasing those changes down also revealed that somebody wasn't paying
attention to what the underlying values of ACL_UPDATE_CHR etc really were,
and there was a great deal of lackadaiscalness in the catalogs.sgml
documentation for pg_policy and pg_policies too.
This doesn't pretend to be a complete code review for the row-security
stuff, it just fixes the things that were in my face while dealing with
the bugs in RelationBuildRowSecurity.
strncpy() has a well-deserved reputation for being unsafe, so make an
effort to get rid of nearly all occurrences in HEAD.
A large fraction of the remaining uses were passing length less than or
equal to the known strlen() of the source, in which case no null-padding
can occur and the behavior is equivalent to memcpy(), though doubtless
slower and certainly harder to reason about. So just use memcpy() in
these cases.
In other cases, use either StrNCpy() or strlcpy() as appropriate (depending
on whether padding to the full length of the destination buffer seems
useful).
I left a few strncpy() calls alone in the src/timezone/ code, to keep it
in sync with upstream (the IANA tzcode distribution). There are also a
few such calls in ecpg that could possibly do with more analysis.
AFAICT, none of these changes are more than cosmetic, except for the four
occurrences in fe-secure-openssl.c, which are in fact buggy: an overlength
source leads to a non-null-terminated destination buffer and ensuing
misbehavior. These don't seem like security issues, first because no stack
clobber is possible and second because if your values of sslcert etc are
coming from untrusted sources then you've got problems way worse than this.
Still, it's undesirable to have unpredictable behavior for overlength
inputs, so back-patch those four changes to all active branches.

As every error in mark_file_as_archived() will lead to a failure of

WAL (and timeline history) files created by pg_basebackup did not
maintain the new base backup's archive status. That's currently not a
problem if the new node is used as a standby - but if that node is
promoted all still existing files can get archived again. With a high
wal_keep_segment settings that can happen a significant time later -
which is quite confusing.
Change both the backend (for the -x/-X fetch case) and pg_basebackup
(for -X stream) itself to always mark WAL/timeline files included in
the base backup as .done. That's in line with walreceiver.c doing so.
The verbosity of the pg_basebackup changes show pretty clearly that it
needs some refactoring, but that'd result in not be backpatchable

Discussion: 20141205002854.GE21964@awork2.anarazel.de
For simple boolean variables such as ON_ERROR_STOP, psql has for a long
time recognized variant spellings of "on" and "off" (such as "1"/"0"),
and it also made a point of warning you if you'd misspelled the setting.
But these conveniences did not exist for other keyword-valued variables.
In particular, though ECHO_HIDDEN and ON_ERROR_ROLLBACK include "on" and
"off" as possible values, none of the alternative spellings for those were
recognized; and to make matters worse the code would just silently assume
"on" was meant for any unrecognized spelling. Several people have reported
getting bitten by this, so let's fix it. In detail, this patch:
* Allows all spellings recognized by ParseVariableBool() for ECHO_HIDDEN
and ON_ERROR_ROLLBACK.
* Reports a warning for unrecognized values for COMP_KEYWORD_CASE, ECHO,
ECHO_HIDDEN, HISTCONTROL, ON_ERROR_ROLLBACK, and VERBOSITY.
* Recognizes all values for all these variables case-insensitively;
previously there was a mishmash of case-sensitive and case-insensitive
behaviors.
Back-patch to all supported branches. There is a small risk of breaking
existing scripts that were accidentally failing to malfunction; but the
consensus is that the chance of detecting real problems and preventing
future mistakes outweighs this.
This reverts commit 1826987a46.
The overall design was deemed unacceptable, in discussion following the
previous commit message; we might find some parts of it still
salvageable, but I don't want to be on the hook for fixing it, so let's
wait until we have a new patch.
The previous representation using a boolean column for each attribute
would not scale as well as we want to add further attributes.
Extra auxilliary functions are added to go along with this change, to
make up for the lost convenience of access of the old representation.
Catalog version bumped due to change in catalogs and the new functions.

Apart from enabling comments on domain constraints, this enables a
future project to replicate object dropping to remote servers: with the
current mechanism there's no way to distinguish between the two types of
constraints, so there's no way to know what to drop.
Also added support for the domain constraint comments in psql's \dd and
pg_dump.
Catalog version bumped due to the change in ObjectType enum.
Use SSPI authentication to allow connections exclusively from the OS
user that launched the test suite. This closes on Windows the
vulnerability that commit be76a6d39e
closed on other platforms. Users of "make installcheck" or custom test
harnesses can run "pg_regress --config-auth=DATADIR" to activate the
same authentication configuration that "make check" would use.
Back-patch to 9.0 (all supported versions).
Security: CVE-2014-0067
In passing, also make some debugging elog's in pgstat.c a bit more
consistently worded.
Back-patch as far as applicable (9.3 or 9.4; none of these mistakes are
really old).
Mark Dilger identified and patched the type violations; the message
rewordings are mine.
Used to say just "could not read password from file "...": Success", which
isn't very informative.
Mats Erik Andersson. Backpatch to all supported versions.
Since this is not something that a user should change,
pg_config_manual.h was an inappropriate place for it.
In initdb.c, remove the use of the macro, because utils/guc.h can't be
included by non-backend code. But we hardcode all the other
configuration file names there, so this isn't a disaster.
Transactions can now set their commit timestamp directly as they commit,
or an external transaction commit timestamp can be fed from an outside
system using the new function TransactionTreeSetCommitTsData(). This
data is crash-safe, and truncated at Xid freeze point, same as pg_clog.
This module is disabled by default because it causes a performance hit,
but can be enabled in postgresql.conf requiring only a server restart.
A new test in src/test/modules is included.
Catalog version bumped due to the new subdirectory within PGDATA and a
couple of new SQL functions.

Apart from ignoring "hostaddr" set to the empty string, this behaves

This reverts commit 9f80f4835a. The
function returned the raw value of a connection parameter, a task served
by PQconninfo(). The next commit will reimplement the psql \conninfo
change that way. Back-patch to 9.4, where that commit first appeared.
Previously \watch always ignored the user's \pset null setting.
\pset null setting should be ignored for \d and similar queries.
For those, the code can reasonably have an opinion about what
the presentation should be like, since it knows what SQL query
it's issuing. This argument surely doesn't apply to \watch,
so this commit makes \watch use the user's \pset null setting.
Back-patch to 9.3 where \watch was added.
As pointed out by Robert, we should really have named pg_rowsecurity
pg_policy, as the objects stored in that catalog are policies. This
patch fixes that and updates the column names to start with 'pol' to
match the new catalog name.
The security consideration for COPY with row level security, also
pointed out by Robert, has also been addressed by remembering and
re-checking the OID of the relation initially referenced during COPY
processing, to make sure it hasn't changed under us by the time we
finish planning out the query which has been built.
Robert and Alvaro also commented on missing OCLASS and OBJECT entries
for POLICY (formerly ROWSECURITY or POLICY, depending) in various
places. This patch fixes that too, which also happens to add the
ability to COMMENT on policies.
In passing, attempt to improve the consistency of messages, comments,
and documentation as well. This removes various incarnations of
'row-security', 'row-level security', 'Row-security', etc, in favor
of 'policy', 'row level security' or 'row_security' as appropriate.
Happy Thanksgiving!
PSQLexec's error reporting turns out to be too verbose for this case, so
revert to using PQexec instead with minimal error reporting. Prior to
calling PQexec, we call a function that mimics just the echo_hidden
piece of PSQLexec.
This error counted the first line of a cell as "extra". The effect was
to cause far too frequent invocation of the pager. In most cases this
can be worked around (for example, by using the "less" pager with the -F
flag), so don't backpatch.
These commands were calling the database direct rather than calling
PSQLexec like other slash commands that needed database data.
The code is also changed not to pass the connection as a parameter to
the helper functions. It's available in a global variable, and that's
what PSQLexec uses.
Each WAL record now carries information about the modified relation and
block(s) in a standardized format. That makes it easier to write tools that
need that information, like pg_rewind, prefetching the blocks to speed up
recovery, etc.
There's a whole new API for building WAL records, replacing the XLogRecData
chains used previously. The new API consists of XLogRegister* functions,
which are called for each buffer and chunk of data that is added to the
record. The new API also gives more control over when a full-page image is
written, by passing flags to the XLogRegisterBuffer function.
This also simplifies the XLogReadBufferForRedo() calls. The function can dig
the relation and block number from the WAL record, so they no longer need to
be passed as arguments.
For the convenience of redo routines, XLogReader now disects each WAL record
after reading it, copying the main data part and the per-block data into
MAXALIGNed buffers. The data chunks are not aligned within the WAL record,
but the redo routines can assume that the pointers returned by XLogRecGet*
functions are. Redo routines are now passed the XLogReaderState, which
contains the record in the already-disected format, instead of the plain
XLogRecord.
The new record format also makes the fixed size XLogRecord header smaller,
by removing the xl_len field. The length of the "main data" portion is now
stored at the end of the WAL record, and there's a separate header after
XLogRecord for it. The alignment padding at the end of XLogRecord is also
removed. This compansates for the fact that the new format would otherwise
be more bulky than the old format.

In pg_receivexlog, in order to check whether the current WAL file is
being opened or not, its file descriptor has to be checked against -1
as an invalid value. But, oops, 7900e94 added the incorrect test
checking the descriptor against 1. This commit fixes that bug.
Back-patch to 9.4 where the bug was added.

When pg_receivexlog --slot is connecting to the server, at the shutdown
of the server, walsender keeps waiting for the last WAL record to be
replicated and flushed in pg_receivexlog. But previously pg_receivexlog
issued sync command only when WAL file was switched. So there was
the case where the last WAL was never flushed and walsender had to
keep waiting infinitely. This caused the server shutdown to get stuck.
pg_recvlogical handles this problem by calling fsync() when it receives
the request of immediate reply from the server. That is, at shutdown,
walsender sends the request, pg_recvlogical receives it, flushes the last
WAL record, and sends the flush location back to the server. Since
walsender can see that the last WAL record is successfully flushed, it can
exit cleanly.
This commit introduces the same logic as pg_recvlogical has,
to pg_receivexlog.
Back-patch to 9.4 where pg_receivexlog was changed so that it can use
the replication slot.

Bug report by Furuya Osamu.
pg_dump/parallel.c was using realloc() directly with no error check.
While the odds of an actual failure here seem pretty low, Coverity
complains about it, so fix by using pg_realloc() instead.
While looking for other instances, I noticed a couple of places in
psql that hadn't gotten the memo about the availability of pg_realloc.
These aren't bugs, since they did have error checks, but verbosely
inconsistent code is not a good thing.
Back-patch as far as 9.3. 9.2 did not have pg_dump/parallel.c, nor
did it have pg_realloc available in all frontend code.
Allows pg_dump to use a snapshot previously defined by a concurrent
session that has either used pg_export_snapshot() or obtained a
snapshot when creating a logical slot. When this option is used with
parallel pg_dump, the snapshot defined by this option is used and no
new snapshot is taken.

Previously pg_receivexlog flushed WAL data only when WAL file was switched.
Then 3dad73e added -F option to pg_receivexlog so that users could control
how frequently sync commands were issued to WAL files. It also allowed users
to make pg_receivexlog flush WAL data immediately after writing by
specifying 0 in -F option. However feedback messages were not sent back
immediately even after a flush location was updated. So even if WAL data
was flushed in real time, the server could not see that for a while.
This commit removes -F option from and adds --synchronous to pg_receivexlog.
If --synchronous is specified, like the standby's wal receiver, pg_receivexlog
flushes WAL data as soon as there is WAL data which has not been flushed yet.
Then it sends back the feedback message identifying the latest flush location
to the server. This option is useful to make pg_receivexlog behave as sync
standby by using replication slot, for example.

Fix breakage induced by commits d8d3d2a4f3
and 463f2625a5fb183b6a8925ccde98bb3889f921d9: pg_dumpall has crashed when
attempting to dump from pre-8.1 servers since then, due to faulty
construction of the query used for dumping roles from older servers.
The query was erroneous as of the earlier commit, but it wasn't exposed
unless you tried to use --binary-upgrade, which you presumably wouldn't
with a pre-8.1 server. However commit 463f2625a made it fail always.
In HEAD, also fix additional breakage induced in the same query by
commit 491c029dbc, which evidently wasn't
tested against pre-8.1 servers either.
The bug is only latent in 9.1 because 463f2625a hadn't landed yet, but
it seems best to back-patch all branches containing the faulty query.

Previously the maximum size of GIN pending list was controlled only by
work_mem. But the reasonable value of work_mem and the reasonable size
of the list are basically not the same, so it was not appropriate to
control both of them by only one GUC, i.e., work_mem. This commit
separates new GUC, pending_list_cleanup_size, from work_mem to allow
users to control only the size of the list.
Also this commit adds pending_list_cleanup_size as new storage parameter
to allow users to specify the size of the list per index. This is useful,
for example, when users want to increase the size of the list only for
the GIN index which can be updated heavily, and decrease it otherwise.

Work around accidental test failures because the working directory path
is too long by creating a temporary directory in the (hopefully shorter)
system location, symlinking that to the working directory, and creating
the tablespaces using the shorter path.
xlog.c is huge, this makes it a little bit smaller, which is nice. Functions
related to putting together the WAL record are in xloginsert.c, and the
lower level stuff for managing WAL buffers and such are in xlog.c.
Also move the definition of XLogRecord to a separate header file. This
causes churn in the #includes of all the files that write WAL records, and
redo routines, but it avoids pulling in xlog.h into most places.

The old algorithm was found to not be the usual CRC-32 algorithm, used by
Ethernet et al. We were using a non-reflected lookup table with code meant
for a reflected lookup table. That's a strange combination that AFAICS does
not correspond to any bit-wise CRC calculation, which makes it difficult to
reason about its properties. Although it has worked well in practice, seems
safer to use a well-known algorithm.
Since we're changing the algorithm anyway, we might as well choose a
different polynomial. The Castagnoli polynomial has better error-correcting
properties than the traditional CRC-32 polynomial, even if we had
implemented it correctly. Another reason for picking that is that some new
CPUs have hardware support for calculating CRC-32C, but not CRC-32, let
alone our strange variant of it. This patch doesn't add any support for such
hardware, but a future patch could now do that.
The old algorithm is kept around for tsquery and pg_trgm, which use the
values in indexes that need to remain compatible so that pg_upgrade works.
While we're at it, share the old lookup table for CRC-32 calculation
between hstore, ltree and core. They all use the same table, so might as
well.
Commit ad5d46a449 thought that we could
get around the known portability issues of strftime's %Z specifier by
using %z instead. However, that idea seems to have been innocent of
any actual research, as it certainly missed the facts that
(1) %z is not portable to pre-C99 systems, and
(2) %z doesn't actually act differently from %Z on Windows anyway.
Per failures on buildfarm member hamerkop.
While at it, centralize the code defining what strftime format we
want to use in pg_dump; three copies of that string seems a bit much.
The malloc request was 1 byte too small for the worst-case output.
This seems relatively unlikely to cause any problems in practice,
as the worst case only occurs if the input string contains no
characters other than single-quote or newline, and even then
malloc alignment padding would probably save the day. But it's
definitely a bug.

Apparently, this is a very common mistake for users to make; it is
better to have it fail reasonably rather than throw potentially a large
number of errors. Since we have a magic string at the start of the
file, we can detect the case easily and there's no other possible useful
behavior anyway.

Previously pg_receivexlog created new connection for WAL streaming
even though another connection which had been established to create
or delete the replication slot was being left. This caused the unused
connection to be left uselessly until pg_receivexlog exited.
This bug was introduced by the commit d9f38c7.
This patch changes pg_receivexlog so that the connection for
