bee9e86984 Make psql handle EOF during COPY FROM STDIN properly on all platforms.
When stdin is a terminal, it's possible to end a COPY FROM STDIN with
a keyboard EOF signal (typically control-D), and then keep on issuing
SQL commands.  One would expect another COPY FROM STDIN to work as well,
but on some platforms it did not.  This turns out to be because we were
not resetting the stream's feof() flag, and BSD-ish versions of fread()
and fgets() won't attempt to read more data if that's set.

The misbehavior is observed on BSDen (including macOS), but not Linux,
Windows, or SysV-ish Unixen, which makes this a portability bug not
just a missing feature.

Add a clearerr() call to fix the behavior, and improve the prompt that's
issued when copying from a TTY to mention that EOF signals work.

It's been like this forever, so back-patch to all supported branches.

21c2c3d75e In SSL tests, don't scribble on permissions of a repo file.
Modifying the permissions of a persistent file isn't really much nicer
than modifying its contents, even if git doesn't currently notice it.
Adjust the test script to make a copy and set the permissions of that
instead.

b35cce914c Fix unsafe reference into relcache in constructed CommentStmt.
The CommentStmt made by RebuildConstraintComment() has to pstrdup the
relation name, else it will contain a dangling pointer after that
relcache entry is flushed.  (I'm less sure that pstrdup'ing conname
is necessary, but let's be safe.)  Failure to do this leads to weird
errors or crashes, as reported by Marko Elezovic.

c4118d3b9b Make stats regression test more robust in the face of parallel query.
Commit 60690a6fe attempted to fix the wait_for_stats() function in this
test so that it would wait properly if the tenk2 scans were done in
parallel workers instead of the main session (typically as a consequence of
force_parallel_mode being turned on).  However, we made it test for whether
the main session's actions had been reported by looking for inserts on
'trunc_stats_test'.  This is the Wrong Thing, because those aren't the last
updates we expect the main session to do.  As shown by recent failures on
buildfarm member frogmouth, it's entirely likely that the trunc_stats_test
updates will be reported in a separate message from later updates, which
means there can be a window in which wait_for_stats() will exit but not all
the updates we are expecting to see will have arrived.  We should test for
the last updates we're expecting, namely those on 'trunc_stats_test4'.

Unfortunately, I doubt that this explains frogmouth's failures, because
there's no reason to believe that it's running the tenk2 queries in
parallel.  Still, the test is wrong on its own terms, so fix and back-patch
to 9.6 where parallel query came in.

bd619fcfe0 Avoid superfluous work for commits during logical slot creation.
Before 955a684e04 logical decoding snapshot maintenance needed to
cope with transactions it might not have seen in their entirety. For
such transactions we'd to assume they modified the catalog (could have
happened before we were watching), and thus a new snapshot had to be
built, and distributed to concurrently running transactions.

That's problematic because building a new snapshot isn't that cheap ,
especially as the the array of committed transactions needs to be
sorted.  When creating a slot on a server with a lot of transactions,
this could make logical slot creation infeasibly expensive.

After 955a684e04 there's no need to deal with transaction that
aren't guaranteed to be fully observable.  That allows to avoid
building snapshots for transactions that haven't modified catalog,
even before reaching consistency.

While this isn't necessarily a bugfix, slot creation being impossible
in some production workloads, is severe enough to warrant
backpatching.

75784859cd Fix race condition leading to hanging logical slot creation.
The snapshot assembly during the creation of logical slots relied
waiting for transactions in xl_running_xacts to end, by checking for
their commit/abort records.  Unfortunately, despite locking, it is
possible to see an xl_running_xact record listing transactions as
ready, that have already WAL-logged an commit/abort record, as the
locking just prevents the ProcArray to be adjusted, and the commit
record has to be logged first.

That lead to either delayed or hanging snapshot creation, because
snapbuild.c would wait "forever" to see commit/abort records for some
transactions.  That hang resolved only if a xl_running_xacts record
without any running transactions happened to be logged, far from
certain on a busy server.

It's impractical to prevent that via more heavyweight locking, the
likelihood of deadlocks and significantly increased contention would
be too big.

Instead change the initial snapshot creation to be solely based on
tracking the oldest running transaction via
xl_running_xacts->oldestRunningXid - that actually ends up
significantly simplifying the code.  That has two disadvantages:
1) Because we cannot fully "trust" the contents of xl_running_xacts,
   we cannot use it to build the initial snapshot.  Instead we have to
   wait twice for all running transactions to finish.
2) Previously a slot, unless the race occurred, could be created when
   the all transaction perceived as running based on commit/abort
   records, now we have to wait for the next xl_running_xacts record.
To address that, trigger logging new xl_running_xacts record from
within snapbuild.c exactly when necessary.

Unfortunately snabuild.c's SnapBuild is stored on disk, one of the
stupider ideas of a certain Mr Freund, so we can't change it in a
minor release.  As this is going to be backpatched, we have to hack
around a bit to keep on-disk compatibility.  A later commit will
rejigger that on master.

d0755dc32a Avoid searching for callback functions in CallSyscacheCallbacks().
We have now grown enough registerable syscache-invalidation callback
functions that the original assumption that there would be few of them
is causing performance problems.  In particular, let's fix things so that
CallSyscacheCallbacks doesn't have to search the whole array to find
which callback(s) to invoke for a given cache ID.  Preserve the original
behavior that callbacks are called in order of registration, just in
case there's someplace that depends on that (which I doubt).

In support of this, export the number of syscaches from syscache.h.
People could have found that out anyway from the enum, but adding a
#define makes that much safer.

This provides a useful additional speedup in Mathieu Fenniak's
logical-decoding test case, although we're reaching the point of
diminishing returns there.  I think any further improvement will have
to come from reducing the number of cache invalidations that are
triggered in the first place.  Still, we can hope that this change
gives some incremental benefit for all invalidation scenarios.

Back-patch to 9.4 where logical decoding was introduced.

f7d0a31ce9 Reduce initial size of RelfilenodeMapHash.
A test case provided by Mathieu Fenniak shows that hash_seq_search'ing
this hashtable can consume a very significant amount of overhead during
logical decoding, which triggers frequent cache invalidation.  Testing
suggests that the actual population of the hashtable is often no more
than a few dozen entries, so we can cut the overhead just by dropping
the initial number of buckets down from 1024 --- I chose to cut it to 64.
(In situations where we do have a significant number of entries, we
shouldn't get any real penalty from doing this, as the dynahash.c code
will resize the hashtable automatically.)

This gives a further factor-of-two savings in Mathieu's test case.
That may be overly optimistic for real-world benefit, as real cases
may have larger average table populations, but it's hard to see it
turning into a net negative for any workload.

Back-patch to 9.4 where relfilenodemap.c was introduced.

b7a98b14c3 Avoid searching for the target catcache in CatalogCacheIdInvalidate.
A test case provided by Mathieu Fenniak shows that the initial search for
the target catcache in CatalogCacheIdInvalidate consumes a very significant
amount of overhead in cases where cache invalidation is triggered but has
little useful work to do.  There is no good reason for that search to exist
at all, as the index array maintained by syscache.c allows direct lookup of
the catcache from its ID.  We just need a frontend function in syscache.c,
matching the division of labor for most other cache-accessing operations.

While there's more that can be done in this area, this patch alone reduces
the runtime of Mathieu's example by 2X.  We can hope that it offers some
useful benefit in other cases too, although usually cache invalidation
overhead is not such a striking fraction of the total runtime.

Back-patch to 9.4 where logical decoding was introduced.  It might be
worth going further back, but presently the only case we know of where
cache invalidation is really a significant burden is in logical decoding.
Also, older branches have fewer catcaches, reducing the possible benefit.

(Note: although this nominally changes catcache's API, we have always
documented CatalogCacheIdInvalidate as a private function, so I would
have little sympathy for an external module calling it directly.  So
backpatching should be fine.)

128e133cc6 Increase MAX_SYSCACHE_CALLBACKS to provide more room for extensions.
Increase from the historical value of 32 to 64.  We are up to 31 callers
of CacheRegisterSyscacheCallback() in HEAD, so if they were all to be
exercised in one process that would leave only one slot for add-on modules.
It's probably not possible for that to happen, but still we clearly need
more daylight here.  (At some point it might be worth making the array
dynamically resizable; but since we've never heard a complaint of "out of
syscache_callback_list slots" happening in the field, I doubt it's worth
it yet.)

Back-patch as far as 9.4, which is where we increased the companion limit
MAX_RELCACHE_CALLBACKS (cf commit f01d1ae3a).  It's not as urgent in
released branches, which have only a couple dozen call sites in core, but
it still seems that somebody might hit the limit before these branches die.

aafbd1df96 Restore PGREQUIRESSL recognition in libpq.
Commit 65c3bf19fd moved handling of the,
already then, deprecated requiressl parameter into conninfo_storeval().
The default PGREQUIRESSL environment variable was however lost in the
change resulting in a potentially silent accept of a non-SSL connection
even when set.  Its documentation remained.  Restore its implementation.
Also amend the documentation to mark PGREQUIRESSL as deprecated for
those not following the link to requiressl.  Back-patch to 9.3, where
commit 65c3bf1 first appeared.

Behavior has been more complex when the user provides both deprecated
and non-deprecated settings.  Before commit 65c3bf1, libpq operated
according to the first of these found:

  requiressl=1
  PGREQUIRESSL=1
  sslmode=*
  PGSSLMODE=*

(Note requiressl=0 didn't override sslmode=*; it would only suppress
PGREQUIRESSL=1 or a previous requiressl=1.  PGREQUIRESSL=0 had no effect
whatsoever.)  Starting with commit 65c3bf1, libpq ignored PGREQUIRESSL,
and order of precedence changed to this:

  last of requiressl=* or sslmode=*
  PGSSLMODE=*

Starting now, adopt the following order of precedence:

  last of requiressl=* or sslmode=*
  PGSSLMODE=*
  PGREQUIRESSL=1

This retains the 65c3bf1 behavior for connection strings that contain
both requiressl=* and sslmode=*.  It retains the 65c3bf1 change that
either connection string option overrides both environment variables.
For the first time, PGSSLMODE has precedence over PGREQUIRESSL; this
avoids reducing security of "PGREQUIRESSL=1 PGSSLMODE=verify-full"
configurations originating under v9.3 and later.

Some selectivity estimation functions run user-supplied operators over

underlying the pg_statistic data, or (2) the function implementing the
user-supplied operator is leak-proof.  If neither is satisfied, planning
will proceed as if there are no statistics available.

At least one of these is satisfied in most cases in practice.  The only
situations that are negatively impacted are user-defined or

92b15224b4 RLS: Fix ALL vs. SELECT+UPDATE policy usage
When we add the SELECT-privilege based policies to the RLS with check
options (such as for an UPDATE statement, or when we have INSERT ...
RETURNING), we need to be sure and use the 'USING' case if the policy is
actually an 'ALL' policy (which could have both a USING clause and an
independent WITH CHECK clause).

This could result in policies acting differently when built using ALL
(when the ALL had both USING and WITH CHECK clauses) and when building
the policies independently as SELECT and UPDATE policies.

Fix this by adding an explicit boolean to add_with_check_options() to
indicate when the USING policy should be used, even if the policy has
both USING and WITH CHECK policies on it.

855f0e9247 Fix pfree-of-already-freed-tuple when rescanning a GiST index-only scan.
GiST's getNextNearest() function attempts to pfree the previously-returned
tuple if any (that is, scan->xs_hitup in HEAD, or scan->xs_itup in older
branches).  However, if we are rescanning a plan node after ending a
previous scan early, those tuple pointers could be pointing to garbage,
because they would be pointing into the scan's pageDataCxt or queueCxt
which has been reset.  In a debug build this reliably results in a crash,
although I think it might sometimes accidentally fail to fail in
production builds.

To fix, clear the pointer field anyplace we reset a context it might
be pointing into.  This may be overkill --- I think probably only the
queueCxt case is involved in this bug, so that resetting in gistrescan()
would be sufficient --- but dangling pointers are generally bad news,
so let's avoid them.

Another plausible answer might be to just not bother with the pfree in
getNextNearest().  The reconstructed tuples would go away anyway in the
context resets, and I'm far from convinced that freeing them a bit earlier
really saves anything meaningful.  I'll stick with the original logic in
this patch, but if we find more problems in the same area we should
consider that approach.

Per bug #14641 from Denis Smirnov.  Back-patch to 9.5 where this
logic was introduced.

56064d5512 Remove useless and rather expensive stanza in matview regression test.
This removes a test case added by commit b69ec7cc9, which was intended
to exercise a corner case involving the rule used at that time that
materialized views were unpopulated iff they had physical size zero.
We got rid of that rule very shortly later, in commit 1d6c72a55, but
kept the test case.  However, because the case now asks what VACUUM
will do to a zero-sized physical file, it would be pretty surprising
if the answer were ever anything but "nothing" ... and if things were
indeed that broken, surely we'd find it out from other tests.  Since
the test involves a table that's fairly large by regression-test
standards (100K rows), it's quite slow to run.  Dropping it should
save some buildfarm cycles, so let's do that.

c521d5a8d7 Improve performance of timezone loading, especially pg_timezone_names view.
tzparse() would attempt to load the "posixrules" timezone database file on
each call.  That might seem like it would only be an issue when selecting a
POSIX-style zone name rather than a zone defined in the timezone database,
but it turns out that each zone definition file contains a POSIX-style zone
string and tzload() will call tzparse() to parse that.  Thus, when scanning
the whole timezone file tree as we do in the pg_timezone_names view,
"posixrules" was read repetitively for each zone definition file.  Fix
that by caching the file on first use within any given process.  (We cache
other zone definitions for the life of the process, so there seems little
reason not to cache this one as well.)  This probably won't help much in
processes that never run pg_timezone_names, but even one additional SET
of the timezone GUC would come out ahead.

An even worse problem for pg_timezone_names is that pg_open_tzfile()
has an inefficient way of identifying the canonical case of a zone name:
it basically re-descends the directory tree to the zone file.  That's not
awful for an individual "SET timezone" operation, but it's pretty horrid
when we're inspecting every zone in the database.  And it's pointless too
because we already know the canonical spelling, having just read it from
the filesystem.  Fix by teaching pg_open_tzfile() to avoid the directory
search if it's not asked for the canonical name, and backfilling the
proper result in pg_tzenumerate_next().

In combination these changes seem to make the pg_timezone_names view
about 3x faster to read, for me.  Since a scan of pg_timezone_names
has up to now been one of the slowest queries in the regression tests,
this should help some little bit for buildfarm cycle times.

Back-patch to all supported branches, not so much because it's likely
that users will care much about the view's performance as because
tracking changes in the upstream IANA timezone code is really painful
if we don't keep all the branches in sync.

d56b8b41b3 Ensure commands in extension scripts see the results of preceding DDL.
Due to a missing CommandCounterIncrement() call, parsing of a non-utility
command in an extension script would not see the effects of the immediately
preceding DDL command, unless that command's execution ends with
CommandCounterIncrement() internally ... which some do but many don't.
Report by Philippe Beaudoin, diagnosis by Julien Rouhaud.

Rather remarkably, this bug has evaded detection since extensions were
invented, so back-patch to all supported branches.

1fdc3f6e8a Update time zone data files to tzdata release 2017b.
DST law changes in Chile, Haiti, and Mongolia.  Historical corrections for
Ecuador, Kazakhstan, Liberia, and Spain.

The IANA crew continue their campaign to replace invented time zone
abbrevations with numeric GMT offsets.  This update changes numerous zones
in South America, the Pacific and Indian oceans, and some Asian and Middle
Eastern zones.  I kept these abbreviations in the tznames/ data files,
however, so that we will still accept them for input.  (We may want to
start trimming those files someday, but I think we should wait for the
upstream dust to settle before deciding what to do.)

In passing, add MESZ (Mitteleuropaeische Sommerzeit) to the tznames lists;
since we accept MEZ (Mitteleuropaeische Zeit) it seems rather strange not
to take the other one.  And fix some incorrect, or at least obsolete,
comments that certain abbreviations are not traceable to the IANA data.

6872d96a3b Sync our copy of the timezone library with IANA release tzcode2017b.
zic no longer mishandles some transitions in January 2038 when it
attempts to work around Qt bug 53071.  This fixes a bug affecting
Pacific/Tongatapu that was introduced in zic 2016e.  localtime.c
now contains a workaround, useful when loading a file generated by
a buggy zic.

There are assorted cosmetic changes as well, notably relocation
of a bunch of #defines.

29e8c881dd Don't use on-disk snapshots for exported logical decoding snapshot.
Logical decoding stores historical snapshots on disk, so that logical
decoding can restart without having to reconstruct a snapshot from
scratch (for which the resources are not guaranteed to be present
anymore).  These serialized snapshots were also used when creating a
new slot via the walsender interface, which can export a "full"
snapshot (i.e. one that can read all tables, not just catalog ones).

The problem is that the serialized snapshots are only useful for
catalogs and not for normal user tables.  Thus the use of such a
serialized snapshot could result in an inconsistent snapshot being
exported, which could lead to queries returning wrong data.  This
would only happen if logical slots are created while another logical
slot already exists.

Commit fa31b6f4e supposed that we didn't have to worry about that

a supported platform.  Put back the prior coding under an #ifdef,
adding an explicit fcntl() to retain the desired CLOEXEC property.

28afff347a Preserve required !catalog tuples while computing initial decoding snapshot.
The logical decoding machinery already preserved all the required
catalog tuples, which is sufficient in the course of normal logical
decoding, but did not guarantee that non-catalog tuples were preserved
during computation of the initial snapshot when creating a slot over
the replication protocol.

This could cause a corrupted initial snapshot being exported.  The
time window for issues is usually not terribly large, but on a busy
server it's perfectly possible to it hit it.  Ongoing decoding is not
affected by this bug.

To avoid increased overhead for the SQL API, only retain additional
tuples when a logical slot is being created over the replication
protocol.  To do so this commit changes the signature of
CreateInitDecodingContext(), but it seems unlikely that it's being
used in an extension, so that's probably ok.

In a drive-by fix, fix handling of
ReplicationSlotsComputeRequiredXmin's already_locked argument, which
should only apply to ProcArrayLock, not ReplicationSlotControlLock.
