Tom Lane efb8046827 Use BIO_{get,set}_app_data instead of BIO_{get,set}_data.
We should have done it this way all along, but we accidentally got
away with using the wrong BIO field up until OpenSSL 3.2.  There,
the library's BIO routines that we rely on use the "data" field
for their own purposes, and our conflicting use causes assorted
weird behaviors up to and including core dumps when SSL connections
are attempted.  Switch to using the approved field for the purpose,
i.e. app_data.

While at it, remove our configure probes for BIO_get_data as well
as the fallback implementation.  BIO_{get,set}_app_data have been
there since long before any OpenSSL version that we still support,
even in the back branches.

Also, update src/test/ssl/t/001_ssltests.pl to allow for a minor
change in an error message spelling that evidently came in with 3.2.

Peter Eisentraut 8aa9a26236 Define OPENSSL_API_COMPAT
This avoids deprecation warnings from newer OpenSSL versions (3.0.0 in
particular).

This has been originally applied as 4d3db13 for v14 and newer versions,
but not on the older branches out of caution, and this commit closes the
gap to remove all these deprecation warnings in all the branches still
supported.

OPENSSL_API_COMPAT's value is set based on the oldest version of OpenSSL
supported on a branch: 1.0.1 for Postgres 13 and 0.9.8 for Postgres 11
and 12.

Tom Lane 6dce372034 Use --strip-unneeded when stripping static libraries with GNU strip.
We've long used "--strip-unneeded" for shared libraries but plain
"-x" for static libraries when stripping symbols with GNU strip.
There doesn't seem to be any really good reason for that though,
since --strip-unneeded produces smaller output (as "-x" alone
does not remove debug symbols).  Moreover it seems that
llvm-strip, although it identifies as GNU strip, misbehaves when
given "-x" for this purpose.  It's unclear whether that's
intentional or a bug in llvm-strip, but in any case it seems like
changing to use --strip-unneeded in all cases should be a win.

Note that this doesn't change our behavior when dealing with
non-GNU strip.

Per gripes from Ed Maste and Palle Girgensohn.  Back-patch,
in case anyone wants to use llvm-strip with stable branches.

Michael Paquier 2eb8e54cc3 Fix handling of SCRAM-SHA-256's channel binding with RSA-PSS certificates
OpenSSL 1.1.1 and newer versions have added support for RSA-PSS
certificates, which requires the use of a specific routine in OpenSSL to
determine which hash function to use when compiling it when using
channel binding in SCRAM-SHA-256.  X509_get_signature_nid(), that is the
original routine the channel binding code has relied on, is not able to
determine which hash algorithm to use for such certificates.  However,
X509_get_signature_info(), new to OpenSSL 1.1.1, is able to do it.  This
commit switches the channel binding logic to rely on
X509_get_signature_info() over X509_get_signature_nid(), which would be
the choice when building with 1.1.1 or newer.

The error could have been triggered on the client or the server, hence
libpq and the backend need to have their related code paths patched.
Note that attempting to load an RSA-PSS certificate with OpenSSL 1.1.0
or older leads to a failure due to an unsupported algorithm.

The discovery of relying on X509_get_signature_info() comes from Jacob,
the tests have been written by Heikki (with few tweaks from me), while I
have bundled the whole together while adding the bits needed for MSVC
and meson.

This issue exists since channel binding exists, so backpatch all the way
down.  Some tests are added in 15~, triggered if compiling with OpenSSL
1.1.1 or newer, where the certificate and key files can easily be
generated for RSA-PSS.

Tom Lane 43f72e0f73 Disable -Wdeprecated-non-prototype in the back branches.
There doesn't seem to be any good ABI-preserving way to silence
clang 15's -Wdeprecated-non-prototype warnings about our tree-walk
APIs.  While we've fixed it properly in HEAD, the only way to not
see hundreds of these in the back branches is to disable the
warnings.  We're not going to do anything about them, so we might
as well disable them.

I noticed that we also get some of these warnings about fmgr.c's
support for V0 function call convention, in branches before v10
where we removed that.  That's another area we aren't going to
change, so turning off the warning seems fine for that too.

Per project policy, this is a candidate for back-patching into
out-of-support branches: it suppresses annoying compiler warnings
but changes no behavior.  Hence, back-patch all the way to 9.2.

Tom Lane af9b967671 configure: don't probe for libldap_r if libldap is 2.5 or newer.
In OpenLDAP 2.5 and later, libldap itself is always thread-safe and
there's never a libldap_r.  Our existing coding dealt with that
by assuming it wouldn't find libldap_r if libldap is thread-safe.
But that rule fails to cope if there are multiple OpenLDAP versions
visible, as is likely to be the case on macOS in particular.  We'd
end up using shiny new libldap in the backend and a hoary libldap_r
in libpq.

Instead, once we've found libldap, check if it's >= 2.5 (by
probing for a function introduced then) and don't bother looking
for libldap_r if so.  While one can imagine library setups that
this'd still give the wrong answer for, they seem unlikely to
occur in practice.

Per report from Peter Eisentraut.  Back-patch to all supported branches.

Tom Lane 46b738ffc2 Suppress warning about stack_base_ptr with late-model GCC.
GCC 12 complains that set_stack_base is storing the address of
a local variable in a long-lived pointer.  This is an entirely
reasonable warning (indeed, it just helped us find a bug);
but that behavior is intentional here.  We can work around it
by using __builtin_frame_address(0) instead of a specific local
variable; that produces an address a dozen or so bytes different,
in my testing, but we don't care about such a small difference.
Maybe someday a compiler lacking that function will start to issue
a similar warning, but we'll worry about that when it happens.

Patch by me, per a suggestion from Andres Freund.  Back-patch to
v12, which is as far back as the patch will go without some pain.
(Recently-established project policy would permit a back-patch as
far as 9.2, but I'm disinclined to expend the work until GCC 12

Tom Lane 4d7d196ff6 Replace use of deprecated Python module distutils.sysconfig, take 2.
With Python 3.10, configure spits out warnings about the module
distutils.sysconfig being deprecated and scheduled for removal in
Python 3.12.  Change the uses in configure to use the module sysconfig
instead.  The logic stays largely the same, although we have to
rely on INCLUDEPY instead of the deprecated get_python_inc function.

Note that sysconfig exists since Python 2.7, so this moves the
minimum required version up from Python 2.6 (or 2.4, before v13).
Also, sysconfig didn't exist in Python 3.1, so the minimum 3.x
version is now 3.2.

In v10, this also includes back-patching v11's beff4bb9c, primarily
because this opinion is clearly out-of-date:

    While at it, get rid of the code's assumption that both the major and
    minor numbers contain exactly one digit.  That will foreseeably be
    broken by Python 3.10 in perhaps four or five years.  That's far enough
    out that we probably don't need to back-patch this.

Tom Lane 77c8892a19 Use appropriate -Wno-warning switches when compiling bitcode.
We use "clang" to compile bitcode files for LLVM inlining.  That might
be different from the build's main C compiler, so it needs its own set
of compiler flags.  To simplify configure, we don't bother adding any
-W switches to that flag set; there's little need since the main build
will show us any warnings.  However, if we don't want to see unwanted
warnings, we still have to add any -Wno-warning switches we'd normally
use with clang.

This escaped notice before commit 9ff47ea41, which tried to add
-Wno-compound-token-split-by-macro; buildfarm animals using mismatched
CC and CLANG still showed those warnings.  I'm not sure why we never
saw any effects from the lack of -Wno-unused-command-line-argument
(maybe that's only activated by -Wall?).  clang does not currently
support -Wno-format-truncation or -Wno-stringop-truncation, although
in the interests of future-proofing and consistency I included tests
for those.

Michael Paquier aa449e5cae Clean up compilation warnings coming from PL/Perl with clang-12~
clang-12 has introduced -Wcompound-token-split-by-macro, that is causing
a large amount of warnings when building PL/Perl because of its
interactions with upstream Perl.  This commit adds one -Wno to CFLAGS at
./configure time if the flag is supported by the compiler to silence all
those warnings.

Upstream perl has fixed this issue, but it is going to take some time
before this is spread across the buildfarm, and we have noticed that
some animals would be useful with an extra -Werror to help with the
detection of incorrect placeholders (see b0cf544), dangomushi being
one.

Tom Lane d34916fee5 Remove configure-time probe for DocBook DTD.
Checking for DocBook being installed was valuable when we were on the
OpenSP docs toolchain, because that was rather hard to get installed
fully.  Nowadays, as long as you have xmllint and xsltproc installed,
you're good, because those programs will fetch the DocBook files off
the net at need.  Moreover, testing this at configure time means that
a network access may well occur whether or not you have any interest
in building the docs later.  That can be slow (typically 2 or 3
seconds, though much higher delays have been reported), and it seems
not very nice to be doing an off-machine access without warning, too.

Hence, drop the PGAC_CHECK_DOCBOOK probe, and adjust related
documentation.  Without that macro, there's not much left of
config/docbook.m4 at all, so I just removed it.

Tom Lane 9e9a31bd00 On macOS, use -isysroot in link steps as well as compile steps.
We previously put the -isysroot switch only into CPPFLAGS, theorizing
that it was only needed to find the right copies of include files.
However, it seems that we also need to use it while linking programs,
to find the right stub ".tbd" files for libraries.  We got away
without that up to now, but apparently that was mostly luck.  It may
also be that failures are only observed when the Xcode version is
noticeably out of sync with the host macOS version; the case that's
prompting action right now is that builds fail when using latest Xcode
(12.2) on macOS Catalina, even though it's fine on Big Sur.

Hence, add -isysroot to LDFLAGS as well.  (It seems that the more
common practice is to put it in CFLAGS, whence it'd be included at
both compile and link steps.  However, we can't mess with CFLAGS in
the platform template file without confusing configure's logic for
choosing default CFLAGS.)

Peter Eisentraut 8f3ec75de4 Enable Unix-domain sockets support on Windows
As of Windows 10 version 1803, Unix-domain sockets are supported on
Windows.  But it's not automatically detected by configure because it
looks for struct sockaddr_un and Windows doesn't define that.  So we
just make our own definition on Windows and override the configure
result.

Set DEFAULT_PGSOCKET_DIR to empty on Windows so by default no
Unix-domain socket is used, because there is no good standard
location.

In pg_upgrade, we have to do some extra tweaking to preserve the
existing behavior of not using Unix-domain sockets on Windows.  Adding
support would be desirable, but it needs further work, in particular a
way to select whether to use Unix-domain sockets from the command-line
or with a run-time test.

The pg_upgrade test script needs a fix.  The previous code passed
"localhost" to postgres -k, which only happened to work because
Windows used to ignore the -k argument value altogether.  We instead
need to pass an empty string to get the desired effect.

The test suites will continue to not use Unix-domain sockets on
Windows.  This requires a small tweak in pg_regress.c.  The TAP tests
don't need to be changed because they decide by the operating system
rather than HAVE_UNIX_SOCKETS.

Peter Eisentraut f5817595a7 Define EXEC_BACKEND in pg_config_manual.h
It was for unclear reasons defined in a separate location, which makes
it more cumbersome to override for testing, and it also did not have
any prominent documentation.  Move to pg_config_manual.h, where
similar things are already collected.

The previous definition on the command-line had the effect of defining
it to the value 1, but now that we don't need that anymore we just
define it to empty, to simplify manual editing a bit.

Tom Lane 0bc8cebdb8 Use pkg-config, if available, to locate libxml2 during configure.
If pkg-config is installed and knows about libxml2, use its information
rather than asking xml2-config.  Otherwise proceed as before.  This
patch allows "configure --with-libxml" to succeed on platforms that
have pkg-config but not xml2-config, which is likely to soon become
a typical situation.

The old mechanism can be forced by setting XML2_CONFIG explicitly
(hence, build processes that were already doing so will certainly
not need adjustment).  Also, it's now possible to set XML2_CFLAGS
and XML2_LIBS explicitly to override both programs.

There is a small risk of this breaking existing build processes,
if there are multiple libxml2 installations on the machine and
pkg-config disagrees with xml2-config about which to use.  The
only case where that seems really likely is if a builder has tried
to select a non-default xml2-config by putting it early in his PATH
rather than setting XML2_CONFIG.  Plan to warn against that in the
minor release notes.

Back-patch to v10; before that we had no pkg-config infrastructure,
and it doesn't seem worth adding it for this.

Hugh McMaster and Tom Lane; Peter Eisentraut also made an earlier
attempt at this, from which I lifted most of the docs changes.

Tom Lane dbf05a1439 Avoid portability problem introduced in 0a42a2e9c.
Apparently not all shells handle nested quotes quite the same.
But we don't need the inner double quotes in this case, so just
drop them.

Peter Eisentraut 0a42a2e9ce Remove win32ver.rc from version_stamp.pl
This removes another relic from the old nmake-based Windows build.
version_stamp.pl put version number information into win32ver.rc.  But
win32ver.rc already gets other version number information from the
preprocessor at build time, so it would make more sense if all version
number information would be handled in the same way and we don't have
two places that do it.

What we need for this is having the major version number and the minor
version number as separate integer symbols.  Both configure and
Solution.pm already have that logic, because they compute
PG_VERSION_NUM.  So we just keep all the logic there now.  Put the
minor version number into a new symbol PG_MINORVERSION_NUM.  Also, add
a symbol PG_MAJORVERSION_NUM, which is a number, alongside the
existing PG_MAJORVERSION, which is a string.

This way we can make use of it in other components as well, and it
