Peter Eisentraut e3bdb2d926 Set libpq sslcompression to off by default
Since SSL compression is no longer recommended, turn the default in
libpq from on to off.

OpenSSL 1.1.0 and many distribution packages already turn compression
off by default, so such a server won't accept compression anyway.  So
this will mainly affect users of older OpenSSL installations.

Also update the documentation to make clear that this setting is no
longer recommended.

Peter Eisentraut 8a3d942529 Add ssl_passphrase_command setting
This allows specifying an external command for prompting for or
otherwise obtaining passphrases for SSL key files.  This is useful
because in many cases there is no TTY easily available during service
startup.

Also add a setting ssl_passphrase_command_supports_reload, which allows
supporting SSL configuration reload even if SSL files need passphrases.

Andres Freund f3e4b95edb Make ExplainPropertyInteger accept 64bit input, remove *Long variant.
'long' is not useful type across platforms, as it's 32bit on 32 bit
platforms, and even on some 64bit platforms (e.g. windows) it's still
only 32bits wide.

As ExplainPropertyInteger should never be performance critical, change
it to accept a 64bit argument and remove ExplainPropertyLong.

Tom Lane 9e17bdb8a5 Fix query-lifespan memory leakage in repeatedly executed hash joins.
ExecHashTableCreate allocated some memory that wasn't freed by
ExecHashTableDestroy, specifically the per-hash-key function information.
That's not a huge amount of data, but if one runs a query that repeats
a hash join enough times, it builds up.  Fix by arranging for the data
in question to be kept in the hashtable's hashCxt instead of leaving it
"loose" in the query-lifespan executor context.  (This ensures that we'll
also clean up anything that the hash functions allocate in fn_mcxt.)

Tom Lane 2cf8c7aa48 Clean up duplicate table and function names in regression tests.
Many of the objects we create during the regression tests are put in the
public schema, so that using the same names in different regression tests
creates a hazard of test failures if any two such scripts run concurrently.
This patch cleans up a bunch of latent hazards of that sort, as well as two
live hazards.

The current situation in this regard is far worse than it was a year or two
back, because practically all of the partitioning-related test cases have
reused table names with enthusiasm.  I despaired of cleaning up that mess
within the five most-affected tests (create_table, alter_table, insert,
update, inherit); fortunately those don't run concurrently.

Other than partitioning problems, most of the issues boil down to using
names like "foo", "bar", "tmp", etc, without thought for the fact that
other test scripts might use similar names concurrently.  I've made an
effort to make all such names more specific.

One of the live hazards was that commit 7421f4b8 caused with.sql to
create a table named "test", conflicting with a similarly-named table
in alter_table.sql; this was exposed in the buildfarm recently.
The other one was that join.sql and transactions.sql both create tables
named "foo" and "bar"; but join.sql's uses of those names date back
only to December or so.

Since commit 7421f4b8 was back-patched to v10, back-patch a minimal
fix for that problem.  The rest of this is just future-proofing.

Robert Haas 1466bcfa4a Split create_grouping_paths into degenerate and non-degenerate cases.
There's no functional change here, or at least I hope there isn't,
just code rearrangement.  The rearrangement is motivated by
partition-wise aggregate, which doesn't need to consider the
degenerate case but wants to reuse the logic for the ordinary case.

Tom Lane fb7db40ad2 Clean up duplicate role and schema names in regression tests.
Since these names are global, using the same ones in different regression
tests creates a hazard of test failures if any two such scripts run
concurrently.  Let's establish a policy of not doing that.  In the cases
where a conflict existed, I chose to rename both sides: in principle one
script or the other could've been left in possession of the common name,
but that seems to just invite more trouble of the same sort.

There are a number of places where scripts are using names that seem
unduly generic, but in the absence of actual conflicts I left them alone.

In addition, fix insert.sql's use of "someone_else" as a role name.
That's a flat out violation of longstanding project policy, so back-patch
that change to v10 where the usage appeared.  The rest of this is just
future-proofing, as no two of these scripts are actually run concurrently
in the existing parallel_schedule.

Conflicts of schema-qualified names also exist, but will be dealt with
separately.

Peter Eisentraut 3a4b891964 Fix more format truncation issues
Fix the warnings created by the compiler warning options
-Wformat-overflow=2 -Wformat-truncation=2, supported since GCC 7.  This
is a more aggressive variant of the fixes in
6275f5d28a, which GCC 7 warned about by
default.

The issues are all harmless, but some dubious coding patterns are
cleaned up.

One issue that is of external interest is that BGW_MAXLEN is increased
from 64 to 96.  Apparently, the old value would cause the bgw_name of
logical replication workers to be truncated in some circumstances.

But this doesn't actually add those warning options.  It appears that
the warnings depend a bit on compilation and optimization options, so it
would be annoying to have to keep up with that.  This is more of a

Alvaro Herrera 24c0a6c649 logical replication: fix OID type mapping mechanism
The logical replication type map seems to have been misused by its only
caller -- it would try to use the remote OID as input for local type
routines, which unsurprisingly could result in bogus "cache lookup
failed for type XYZ" errors, or random other type names being picked up
if they happened to use the right OID.  Fix that, changing
Oid logicalrep_typmap_getid(Oid remoteid) to
char *logicalrep_typmap_gettypname(Oid remoteid)
which is more useful.  If the remote type is not part of the typmap,
this simply prints "unrecognized type" instead of choking trying to
figure out -- a pointless exercise (because the only input for that
comes from replication messages, which are not under the local node's
control) and dangerous to boot, when called from within an error context
callback.

Once that is done, it comes to light that the local OID in the typmap
entry was not being used for anything; the type/schema names are what we
need, so remove local type OID from that struct.

Once you do that, it becomes pointless to attach a callback to regular
syscache invalidation.  So remove that also.

Robert Haas 0927d2f46d Let Parallel Append over simple UNION ALL have partial subpaths.
A simple UNION ALL gets flattened into an appendrel of subquery
RTEs, but up until now it's been impossible for the appendrel to use
the partial paths for the subqueries, so we can implement the
appendrel as a Parallel Append but only one with non-partial paths
as children.

There are three separate obstacles to removing that limitation.
First, when planning a subquery, propagate any partial paths to the
final_rel so that they are potentially visible to outer query levels
(but not if they have initPlans attached, because that wouldn't be
safe).  Second, after planning a subquery, propagate any partial paths
for the final_rel to the subquery RTE in the outer query level in the
same way we do for non-partial paths.  Third, teach finalize_plan() to
account for the possibility that the fake parameter we use for rescan
signalling when the plan contains a Gather (Merge) node may be
propagated from an outer query level.

Tom Lane d04900de7d When updating reltuples after ANALYZE, just extrapolate from our sample.
The existing logic for updating pg_class.reltuples trusted the sampling
results only for the pages ANALYZE actually visited, preferring to
believe the previous tuple density estimate for all the unvisited pages.
While there's some rationale for doing that for VACUUM (first that
VACUUM is likely to visit a very nonrandom subset of pages, and second
that we know for sure that the unvisited pages did not change), there's
no such rationale for ANALYZE: by assumption, it's looked at an unbiased
random sample of the table's pages.  Furthermore, in a very large table
ANALYZE will have examined only a tiny fraction of the table's pages,
meaning it cannot slew the overall density estimate very far at all.
In a table that is physically growing, this causes reltuples to increase
nearly proportionally to the change in relpages, regardless of what is
actually happening in the table.  This has been observed to cause reltuples
to become so much larger than reality that it effectively shuts off
autovacuum, whose threshold for doing anything is a fraction of reltuples.
(Getting to the point where that would happen seems to require some
additional, not well understood, conditions.  But it's undeniable that if
reltuples is seriously off in a large table, ANALYZE alone will not fix it
in any reasonable number of iterations, especially not if the table is
continuing to grow.)

Hence, restrict the use of vac_estimate_reltuples() to VACUUM alone,
and in ANALYZE, just extrapolate from the sample pages on the assumption
that they provide an accurate model of the whole table.  If, by very bad
luck, they don't, at least another ANALYZE will fix it; in the old logic
a single bad estimate could cause problems indefinitely.

In HEAD, let's remove vac_estimate_reltuples' is_analyze argument
altogether; it was never used for anything and now it's totally pointless.
But keep it in the back branches, in case any third-party code is calling
this function.

Tom Lane 38f7831d70 Avoid holding AutovacuumScheduleLock while rechecking table statistics.
In databases with many tables, re-fetching the statistics takes some time,
so that this behavior seriously decreases the available concurrency for
multiple autovac workers.  There's discussion afoot about more complete
fixes, but a simple and back-patchable amelioration is to claim the table
and release the lock before rechecking stats.  If we find out there's no
longer a reason to process the table, re-taking the lock to un-claim the
table is cheap enough.

(This patch is quite old, but got lost amongst a discussion of more
aggressive fixes.  It's not clear when or if such a fix will be
accepted, but in any case it'd be unlikely to get back-patched.
Let's do this now so we have some improvement for the back branches.)

In passing, make the normal un-claim step take AutovacuumScheduleLock
not AutovacuumLock, since that is what is documented to protect the
wi_tableoid field.  This wasn't an actual bug in view of the fact that
readers of that field hold both locks, but it creates some concurrency
penalty against operations that need only AutovacuumLock.

Alvaro Herrera 63cbee6a78 doc: Reword restriction on partition keys in unique indexes
New wording from David G. Johnston, who noticed the unreadable original
also.  Include his suggested test case as well.

Fix a typo I noticed elsewhere while doing this.

Tom Lane 4a4e2442a7 Fix improper uses of canonicalize_qual().
One of the things canonicalize_qual() does is to remove constant-NULL
subexpressions of top-level AND/OR clauses.  It does that on the assumption
that what it's given is a top-level WHERE clause, so that NULL can be
treated like FALSE.  Although this is documented down inside a subroutine
of canonicalize_qual(), it wasn't mentioned in the documentation of that
function itself, and some callers hadn't gotten that memo.

Notably, commit d007a9505 caused get_relation_constraints() to apply
canonicalize_qual() to CHECK constraints.  That allowed constraint
exclusion to misoptimize situations in which a CHECK constraint had a
provably-NULL subclause, as seen in the regression test case added here,
in which a child table that should be scanned is not.  (Although this
thinko is ancient, the test case doesn't fail before 9.2, for reasons
I've not bothered to track down in detail.  There may be related cases
that do fail before that.)

More recently, commit f0e44751d added an independent bug by applying
canonicalize_qual() to index expressions, which is even sillier since
those might not even be boolean.  If they are, though, I think this
could lead to making incorrect index entries for affected index
expressions in v10.  I haven't attempted to prove that though.

To fix, add an "is_check" parameter to canonicalize_qual() to specify
whether it should assume WHERE or CHECK semantics, and make it perform
NULL-elimination accordingly.  Adjust the callers to apply the right
semantics, or remove the call entirely in cases where it's not known
that the expression has one or the other semantics.  I also removed
the call in some cases involving partition expressions, where it should
be a no-op because such expressions should be canonical already ...
and was a no-op, independently of whether it could in principle have
done something, because it was being handed the qual in implicit-AND
format which isn't what it expects.  In HEAD, add an Assert to catch
that type of mistake in future.

This represents an API break for external callers of canonicalize_qual().
While that's intentional in HEAD to make such callers think about which
case applies to them, it seems like something we probably wouldn't be
thanked for in released branches.  Hence, in released branches, the
extra parameter is added to a new function canonicalize_qual_ext(),
and canonicalize_qual() is a wrapper that retains its old behavior.

Patch by me with suggestions from Dean Rasheed.  Back-patch to all
supported branches.

Tom Lane b6e132ddc8 In psql, restore old behavior of Query_for_list_of_functions.
Historically, tab completion for functions has offered the names of
aggregates as well.  This is essential in at least one context, namely
GRANT/REVOKE, because there is no GRANT ON AGGREGATE syntax.  There
are other cases where a command that nominally is for functions will
allow aggregates as well, though not all do.

Commit fd1a421fe changed this query to disallow aggregates, but that
doesn't seem to have been thought through very carefully.  Change it
to allow aggregates (but still ignore procedures).

We might at some point tighten this up, but it'd require sorting through
all the uses of this query to see which ones should offer aggregate
names and which shouldn't.  Given the lack of field complaints about
the historical laxity here, that's work I'm not eager to do right now.

Tom Lane 5748f3a0aa Improve predtest.c's internal docs, and enhance its functionality a bit.
Commit b08df9cab left things rather poorly documented as far as the
exact semantics of "clause_is_check" mode went.  Also, that mode did
not really work correctly for predicate_refuted_by; although given the
lack of specification as to what it should do, as well as the lack
of any actual use-case, that's perhaps not surprising.

Rename "clause_is_check" to "weak" proof mode, and provide specifications
for what it should do.  I defined weak refutation as meaning "truth of A
implies non-truth of B", which makes it possible to use the mode in the
part of relation_excluded_by_constraints that checks for mutually
contradictory WHERE clauses.  Fix up several places that did things wrong
for that definition.  (As far as I can see, these errors would only lead
to failure-to-prove, not incorrect claims of proof, making them not
serious bugs even aside from the fact that v10 contains no use of this
mode.  So there seems no need for back-patching.)

In addition, teach predicate_refuted_by_recurse that it can use
predicate_implied_by_recurse after all when processing a strong NOT-clause,
so long as it asks for the correct proof strength.  This is an optimization
that could have been included in commit b08df9cab, but wasn't.

Also, simplify and generalize the logic that checks for whether nullness of
the argument of IS [NOT] NULL would force overall nullness of the predicate
or clause.  (This results in a change in the partition_prune test's output,
as it is now able to prune an all-nulls partition that it did not recognize
before.)

In passing, in PartConstraintImpliedByRelConstraint, remove bogus
conversion of the constraint list to explicit-AND form and then right back
again; that accomplished nothing except forcing a useless extra level of
recursion inside predicate_implied_by.

Tom Lane a63c3274a6 Fix test_predtest's idea of what weak refutation means.
I'd initially supposed that predicate_refuted_by(..., true) ought to
say that "A refutes B" means "non-falsity of A implies non-truth of B".
But it seems better to define it as "truth of A implies non-truth of B".
This is more useful in the current system, slightly easier to prove,
and in closer correspondence to the existing code behavior.

With this change, test_predtest no longer claims that any existing
test cases show false proof reports, though there still are cases
where we could prove something and fail to.

Robert Haas 960df2a971 Correctly assess parallel-safety of tlists when SRFs are used.
Since commit 69f4b9c85f, the existing
code was no longer assessing the parallel-safety of the real tlist
for each upper rel, but rather the first of possibly several tlists
created by split_pathtarget_at_srfs().  Repair.

Even though this is clearly wrong, it's not clear that it has any
user-visible consequences at the moment, so no back-patch for now.  If
we discover later that it does have user-visible consequences, we
might need to back-patch this to v10.

Patch by me, per a report from Rajkumar Raghuwanshi.
