Commit abd9ca377 replaced a couple of while-loops in fmtfloat()
with calls to dopr_outchmulti, but I (tgl) failed to notice that
the new if-tests guarding those calls were really unnecessary,
because they're inside a larger if-block checking the same thing.

Thomas Munro 6969deeb8d Handle ReadFile() EOF correctly on Windows.
When ReadFile() encounters the end of a file while reading from
a synchronous handle with an offset provided via OVERLAPPED, it
reports an error instead of returning 0.  By not handling that
(undocumented) result correctly, we caused some noisy LOG
messages about an unknown error code.  Repair.

Back-patch to 12, where we started using pread()/ReadFile() with
an offset.

Andres Freund 01368e5d9d Split all OBJS style lines in makefiles into one-line-per-entry style.
When maintaining or merging patches, one of the most common sources
for conflicts are the list of objects in makefiles. Especially when
the split across lines has been changed on both sides, which is
somewhat common due to attempting to stay below 80 columns, those
conflicts are unnecessarily laborious to resolve.

By splitting, and alphabetically sorting, OBJS style lines into one
object per line, conflicts should be less frequent, and easier to
resolve when they still occur.

Tom Lane db477b691d Deal with yet another issue related to "Norwegian (Bokmål)" locale.
It emerges that recent versions of Windows (at least 2016 Standard)
spell this locale name as "Norwegian Bokmål_Norway.1252", defeating
our mapping code that translates "Norwegian (Bokmål)_Norway" to

Tom Lane 9abb2bfc04 In the postmaster, rely on the signal infrastructure to block signals.
POSIX sigaction(2) can be told to block a set of signals while a
signal handler executes.  Make use of that instead of manually
blocking and unblocking signals in the postmaster's signal handlers.
This should save a few cycles, and it also prevents recursive
invocation of signal handlers when many signals arrive in close
succession.  We have seen buildfarm failures that seem to be due to
postmaster stack overflow caused by such recursion (exacerbated by
a Linux PPC64 kernel bug).

This doesn't change anything about the way that it works on Windows.
Somebody might consider adjusting port/win32/signal.c to let it work
similarly, but I'm not in a position to do that.

For the moment, just apply to HEAD.  Possibly we should consider
back-patching this, but it'd be good to let it age awhile first.

Tom Lane b654714f9b Fix failures to ignore \r when reading Windows-style newlines.
libpq failed to ignore Windows-style newlines in connection service files.
This normally wasn't a problem on Windows itself, because fgets() would
convert \r\n to just \n.  But if libpq were running inside a program that
changes the default fopen mode to binary, it would see the \r's and think
they were data.  In any case, it's project policy to ignore \r in text
files unconditionally, because people sometimes try to use files with
DOS-style newlines on Unix machines, where the C library won't hide that
from us.

Hence, adjust parseServiceFile() to ignore \r as well as \n at the end of
the line.  In HEAD, go a little further and make it ignore all trailing
whitespace, to match what it's always done with leading whitespace.

In HEAD, also run around and fix up everyplace where we have
newline-chomping code to make all those places look consistent and
uniformly drop \r.  It is not clear whether any of those changes are
fixing live bugs.  Most of the non-cosmetic changes are in places that
are reading popen output, and the jury is still out as to whether popen
on Windows can return \r\n.  (The Windows-specific code in pipe_read_line
seems to think so, but our lack of support for this elsewhere suggests
maybe it's not a problem in practice.)  Hence, I desisted from applying
those changes to back branches, except in run_ssl_passphrase_command()
which is new enough and little-tested enough that we'd probably not have
heard about any problems there.

Tom Lane and Michael Paquier, per bug #15827 from Jorge Gustavo Rocha.
Back-patch the parseServiceFile() change to all supported branches,
and the run_ssl_passphrase_command() change to v11 where that was added.

Michael Paquier 754b90f657 Fix error handling of readdir() port implementation on first file lookup
The implementation of readdir() in src/port/ which gets used by MSVC has
been added in 399a36a, and since the beginning it considers all errors
on the first file lookup as ENOENT, setting errno accordingly and
letting the routine caller think that the directory is empty.  While
this is normally enough for the case of the backend, this can confuse
callers of this routine on Windows as all errors would map to the same
behavior.  So, for example, even permission errors would be thought as
having an empty directory, while there could be contents in it.

This commit changes the error handling so as readdir() gets a behavior
similar to native implementations: force errno=0 when seeing
ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND as error and consider other errors as plain
failures.

While looking at the patch, I noticed that MinGW does not enforce
errno=0 when looking at the first file, but it gets enforced on the next
file lookups.  A comment related to that was incorrect in the code.

Tom Lane 02a6a54ecd Make use of compiler builtins and/or assembly for CLZ, CTZ, POPCNT.
Test for the compiler builtins __builtin_clz, __builtin_ctz, and
__builtin_popcount, and make use of these in preference to
handwritten C code if they're available.  Create src/port
infrastructure for "leftmost one", "rightmost one", and "popcount"
so as to centralize these decisions.

On x86_64, __builtin_popcount generally won't make use of the POPCNT
opcode because that's not universally supported yet.  Provide code
that checks CPUID and then calls POPCNT via asm() if available.
This requires indirecting through a function pointer, which is
an annoying amount of overhead for a one-instruction operation,
but it's probably not worth working harder than this for our
current use-cases.

I'm not sure we've found all the existing places that could profit
from this new infrastructure; but we at least touched all the
ones that used copied-and-pasted versions of the bitmapset.c code,
and got rid of multiple copies of the associated constant arrays.

While at it, replace c-compiler.m4's one-per-builtin-function
macros with a single one that can handle all the cases we need
to worry about so far.  Also, because I'm paranoid, make those
checks into AC_LINK checks rather than just AC_COMPILE; the
former coding failed to verify that libgcc has support for the
builtin, in cases where it's not inline code.

Split out the configure logic: in the original commit, it was selecting
to use the -mpopcnt compiler switch together with deciding whether to
use the compiler builtin, but those two things are really separate.
Split them out.  Also, expose whether the builtin exists to
Makefile.global, so that src/port's Makefile can decide whether to
compile the hw-optimized file.

Alvaro Herrera 109de05cbb Fix portability issues in pg_bitutils
We were using uint64 function arguments as "long int" arguments to
compiler builtins, which fails on machines where long ints are 32 bits:
the upper half of the uint64 was being ignored.  Fix by using the "ll"
builtin variants instead, which on those machines take 64 bit arguments.

Also, remove configure tests for __builtin_popcountl() (as well as
"long" variants for ctz and clz): the theory here is that any compiler
version will provide all widths or none, so one test suffices.  Were
this theory to be wrong, we'd have to add tests for

Andrew Gierth f397e08599 Use strtof() and not strtod() for float4 input.
Using strtod() creates a double-rounding problem; the input decimal
value is first rounded to the nearest double; rounding that to the
nearest float may then give an incorrect result.

An example is that 7.038531e-26 when input via strtod and then rounded
to float4 gives 0xAE43FEp-107 instead of the correct 0xAE43FDp-107.

Values output by earlier PG versions with extra_float_digits=3 should
all be read in with the same values as previously. However, values
supplied by other software using shortest representations could be
mis-read.

On platforms that lack a strtof() entirely, we fall back to the old
incorrect rounding behavior. (As strtof() is required by C99, such
platforms are considered of primarily historical interest.) On VS2013,
some workarounds are used to get correct error handling.

The regression tests now test for the correct input values, so
platforms that lack strtof() will need resultmap entries. An entry for
HP-UX 10 is included (more may be needed).

Tom Lane 4203842a1c Use pg_strong_random() to select each server process's random seed.
Previously we just set the seed based on process ID and start timestamp.
Both those values are directly available within the session, and can
be found out or guessed by other users too, making the session's series
of random(3) values fairly predictable.  Up to now, our backend-internal
uses of random(3) haven't seemed security-critical, but commit 88bdbd3f7
added one that potentially is: when using log_statement_sample_rate, a
user might be able to predict which of his SQL statements will get logged.

To improve this situation, upgrade the per-process seed initialization
method to use pg_strong_random() if available, greatly reducing the
predictability of the initial seed value.  This adds a few tens of
microseconds to process start time, but since backend startup time is
at least a couple of milliseconds, that seems an acceptable price.

This means that pg_strong_random() needs to be able to run without
reliance on any backend infrastructure, since it will be invoked
before any of that is up.  It was safe for that already, but adjust
comments and #include commands to make it clearer.

Tom Lane 6b9bba2df8 Marginal performance hacking in erand48.c.
Get rid of the multiplier and addend variables in favor of hard-wired
constants.  Do the multiply-and-add using uint64 arithmetic, rather
than manually combining several narrower multiplications and additions.
Make _dorand48 return the full-width new random value, and have its
callers use that directly (after suitable masking) rather than
reconstructing what they need from the unsigned short[] representation.

On my machine, this is good for a nearly factor-of-2 speedup of
pg_erand48(), probably mostly from needing just one call of ldexp()
rather than three.  The wins for the other functions are smaller
but measurable.  While none of the existing call sites are really
performance-critical, a cycle saved is a cycle earned; and besides
the machine code is smaller this way (at least on x86_64).

Patch by me, but the original idea to optimize this by switching
to int64 arithmetic is from Fabien Coelho.

Tom Lane e090466411 Fix latent problem with pg_jrand48().
POSIX specifies that jrand48() returns a signed 32-bit value (in the
range [-2^31, 2^31)), but our code was returning an unsigned 32-bit
value (in the range [0, 2^32)).  This doesn't actually matter to any
existing call site, because they all cast the "long" result to int32
or uint32; but it will doubtless bite somebody in the future.
To fix, cast the arithmetic result to int32 explicitly before the
compiler widens it to long (if widening is needed).

While at it, upgrade this file's far-short-of-project-style comments.
Had there been some peer pressure to document pg_jrand48() properly,
maybe this thinko wouldn't have gotten committed to begin with.

Backpatch to v10 where pg_jrand48() was added, just in case somebody
back-patches a fix that uses it and depends on the standard behavior.

Tom Lane cc92cca431 Drop support for getting signal descriptions from sys_siglist[].
It appears that all platforms that have sys_siglist[] also have
strsignal(), making that fallback case in pg_strsignal() dead code.
Getting rid of it allows dropping a configure test, which seems worth
more than providing textual signal descriptions on whatever platforms
might still hypothetically have use for the fallback case.

Tom Lane a73d083195 Modernize our code for looking up descriptive strings for Unix signals.
At least as far back as the 2008 spec, POSIX has defined strsignal(3)
for looking up descriptive strings for signal numbers.  We hadn't gotten
the word though, and were still using the crufty old sys_siglist array,
which is in no standard even though most Unixen provide it.

Aside from not being formally standards-compliant, this was just plain
ugly because it involved #ifdef's at every place using the code.

To eliminate the #ifdef's, create a portability function pg_strsignal,
which wraps strsignal(3) if available and otherwise falls back to
sys_siglist[] if available.  The set of Unixen with neither API is
probably empty these days, but on any platform with neither, you'll
just get "unrecognized signal".  All extant callers print the numeric
signal number too, so no need to work harder than that.

Along the way, upgrade pg_basebackup's child-error-exit reporting
to match the rest of the system.

Tom Lane d2b0b60e71 Improve our response to invalid format strings, and detect more cases.
Places that are testing for *printf failure ought to include the format
string in their error reports, since bad-format-string is one of the
more likely causes of such failure.  This both makes it easier to find
and repair the mistake, and provides at least some useful info to the
user who stumbles across such a problem.

Also, tighten snprintf.c to report EINVAL for an invalid flag or
final character in a format %-spec (including the case where the
%-spec is missing a final character altogether).  This seems like
better project policy, and it also allows removing an instruction
or two from the hot code path.

Back-patch the error reporting change in pvsnprintf, since it should be
harmless and may be helpful; but not the snprintf.c change.

Per discussion of bug #15511 from Ertuğrul Kahveci, which reported an
invalid translated format string.  These changes don't fix that error,
but they should improve matters next time we make such a mistake.

Peter Eisentraut 2dedf4d9a8 Integrate recovery.conf into postgresql.conf
recovery.conf settings are now set in postgresql.conf (or other GUC
sources).  Currently, all the affected settings are PGC_POSTMASTER;
this could be refined in the future case by case.

Recovery is now initiated by a file recovery.signal.  Standby mode is
initiated by a file standby.signal.  The standby_mode setting is
gone.  If a recovery.conf file is found, an error is issued.

The trigger_file setting has been renamed to promote_trigger_file as
part of the move.

The documentation chapter "Recovery Configuration" has been integrated
into "Server Configuration".

pg_basebackup -R now appends settings to postgresql.auto.conf and
creates a standby.signal file.

Thomas Munro 3fd2a7932e Provide pg_pread() and pg_pwrite() for random I/O.
Forward to POSIX pread() and pwrite(), or emulate them if unavailable.
The emulation is not perfect as the file position is changed, so
we'll put pg_ prefixes on the names to minimize the risk of confusion
in future patches that might inadvertently try to mix pread() and read()
on the same file descriptor.

Tom Lane 7767aadd94 Fix omissions in snprintf.c's coverage of standard *printf functions.
A warning on a NetBSD box revealed to me that pg_waldump/compat.c
is using vprintf(), which snprintf.c did not provide coverage for.
This is not good if we want to have uniform *printf behavior, and
it's pretty silly to omit when it's a one-line function.

I also noted that snprintf.c has pg_vsprintf() but for some reason
it was not exposed to the outside world, creating another way in
which code might accidentally invoke the platform *printf family.

Let's just make sure that we replace all eight of the POSIX-standard
printf family.

Also, upgrade plperl.h and plpython.h to make sure that they do
their undefine/redefine rain dance for all eight, not some random
maybe-sufficient subset thereof.

Tom Lane 6eb3eb577d Improve snprintf.c's handling of NaN, Infinity, and minus zero.
Up to now, float4out/float8out handled NaN and Infinity cases explicitly,
and invoked psprintf only for ordinary float values.  This was done because
platform implementations of snprintf produce varying representations of
these special cases.  But now that we use snprintf.c always, it's better
to give it the responsibility to produce a uniform representation of
these cases, so that we have uniformity across the board not only in
float4out/float8out.  Hence, move that work into fmtfloat().

Also, teach fmtfloat() to recognize IEEE minus zero and handle it
correctly.  The previous coding worked only accidentally, and would
fail for e.g. "%+f" format (it'd print "+-0.00000").  Now that we're
using snprintf.c everywhere, it's not acceptable for it to do weird
things in corner cases.  (This incidentally avoids a portability
problem we've seen on some really ancient platforms, that native
sprintf does the wrong thing with minus zero.)

Also, introduce a new entry point in snprintf.c to allow float[48]out
to bypass the work of interpreting a well-known format spec, as well
as bypassing the overhead of the psprintf layer.  I modeled this API
loosely on strfromd().  In my testing, this brings float[48]out back
to approximately the same speed they had when using native snprintf,
fixing one of the main performance issues caused by using snprintf.c.

(There is some talk of more aggressive work to improve the speed of
floating-point output conversion, but these changes seem to provide
a better starting point for such work anyway.)

Getting rid of the previous ad-hoc hack for Infinity/NaN in fmtfloat()
allows removing <ctype.h> from snprintf.c's #includes.  I also removed
a few other #includes that I think are historical, though the buildfarm
may expose that as wrong.
